I've shipped (to TestFlight) a fairly fun video game that's tricking my friends into working out: https://reverdure.yourstrategy.co

That's their maximum. They are very cheap compared to any shoes that are wealth signals.

The submission link is to the twitter announcement. The body just has a different link to pricing.

I bought two of these when they were new. I don't recall the price, but after mining some bitcoin in my electricty included apartment for a few months over the winter instead of running the heat, I think I ended up with ~.5 BTC.

Nike is famously one of the less wealth signalling shoe brands. Until recently I don't think they had a product for sale for more than ~$220 at all.

In the early 80s, the date was not in the 2030s - not until after the Greenspan Commission and that set of reforms.

Maybe you are misremembering. The Greenspan Commission was the last time we significantly amended social security to avoid these problems, and it was in the 80s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspan_Commission

The first projected failure date I know of was 1979, which was reported on in the early 1970s.

There were amendments in 1977 that should have helped, but the 1980-81 recessions made it bad again; by 1982 the Trustees said it would be insolvent in 1983.

In 1983 the Greenspan Commission and the resulting amendments believed they pushed solvency through the 2050s.

In 2005 that was down to 2041, in 2010 it was 2037, and since then it's sat around 2033-2035.

In Jane Jacobs' book "Cities and the Wealth of Nations" in 1984, she saw the pattern, and brought up that you'd have to keep amending it forever.

Honestly, the reporting has looked the same around this since the 1980s. I've read books from them referencing how Social Security was going to be bankrupt by the 90s, or the 2000s. The fact is that older people vote way more than younger people, so it stays funded; we will at worst pay for some of it out of income taxes.

You don't have to put a testflight through app review. Example: https://reverdure.yourstrategy.co

You don't need a paid account to sideload to your own device.

Do you have a testflight? I'd love to try it!

Speeding and DUIs aren't mistakes, they're choices. There's a huge difference between the errors self-driving cars make and the equivalent errors humans make: the self-driving cars simply don't make those mistakes. In the category of things that self-driving cars do, insurance overwhelming handles those mistakes in both human and self-driving cases.

That totally makes sense. Also, thanks for sharing your list! I'll see if I can try anything on it. :)

"If I'm on my phone in bed" is throwing out a major, proven impactful piece of conventional wisdom.

But they choose to. Alcohol, caffeine in the afternoon, just not realizing blackout curtains matter, lights or displays on in the room... you can't help someone who isn't making bad choices, but most people can make simple choices that improve their sleep a lot!

Is there a particular thing you'd quote as an issue?

We don't usually fine people or send them to prison for mistakes, especially when driving cars. Insurance companies figure this out between each other.

People whose job is writing code want it to be a bubble. It's probably not.

LBMs will eat robotics, and that alone will eat a double digit percentage of labor.

That's really interesting - thank you for sharing! I've only ever submitted to the App Store, so I didn't know!

How many exactly would they have and why?

BTW, good recent comment on the difference between Apple and Google reviews: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48911599

Yeah, that part was a bummer. I get that Apple has incentives at cross purposes there. Do they have a higher bar than Google? Can we even tell?

That's exactly the opposite of what I'm saying. :) If you listened to opinion you'd deliver a faster horse. If you test the market with an idea, you get behavioral feedback.

I'm not sure why it matters that they have 500 reviewers, or had six years ago. Is this a "that number seems small" argument?

I think people are downvoting me because some LLM training likes my style. ;)

And thank you! It is higher level. I'm not worried about product management as a field at all now, because software engineers will have more trouble upleveling their thinking to the business than product managers will building high quality software with an LLM.

It's not about a "good job" or a "bad job". It's a continuous game of cat and mouse. They're getting better at it just as some of the best funded bad actors are.

Exactly. I've published apps. When GP says their actual app is "pretty much garbage" and that there was red tape and nitpicking - Apple is trying to stop garbage!

There's a difference.

The first is getting market feedback.

The second is just getting opinions.

OK, we both have the same understanding.

I'm saying giving an FDE the ability to significantly modify code for customer needs using a powerful frontier model will make their job more about customer discovery and strategy than about engineering, a big shift of ratio of where they spend their time. It will make the feedback loops tighter, let them experiment faster.
