dont think this hold much water at all.

we are. you can check the APP STORE release yoy. it's skyrocketing.

I have barely downloaded any apps in the last 5-10 years except some necessary ones like bank apps etc. Who even needs that garbage? Steam also has tons of games but 80% make like no money at all and no one cares. Just piles of garbage. We already have limited hours per day and those are not really increasing so I wonder where are the users.

Here’s a talk about leaning into the garbage flow. And that was a decade ago.

I can’t imagine the number being economically meaningful now.

this is almost entirely orthogonal. you can use cpf for private, non-99year lease housing too.

Thanks for correcting me; I accept that CPF can be used for both the cases you have mentioned.

My comment came from two observations: 1. The majority of Singapore citizens live in HDB. 2. The vast majority of non-landed residential properties (private condos and HDBs) are on 99-year leases.

Exactly, some people think 'out of sight, out of mind' is great ethics! See https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/QXpxioWSQcNuNnNTy/...

no, more precisely, they can actively think about it and still believe it's not an issue. For example they can justify that the migrant workers are given a choice etc or it's better than some of their alternative.

If it's not clear: that's pretty close to what I believe, yes.

Calling the opposite position 'out of sight, out of mind' or 'The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics' kind of gives my disdain for it away, I thought?

so the country can be productive? so it can have resources to fulfil duties to citizens?

Not true. Importantly, a majority of the cpf can be used for participating in stock market.

i think you've to be more nuanced here - perf becomes important only on the extreme. i think there are compromises to be made between perf and go-to-market.

it'll be the least important thing to do

apple has pretty good containers actually. why do you say they are a poor abstraction?

compiler optimization is a blackbox. shortcuts to crypto routines will allow side channel attacks
