Because Switzerland is the size of Maryland. Imagine pouring all federal resources into one cramped state.

I thought spamming your own blog was not allowed here.

Anyone check to see if Jia Tan has submitted any kernel patches lately?

Let me know how I can unbundle Safari from macOS or iOS.

Go ahead, I'll wait.

There's always going to be outliers, but there is this general premise that guys like Marc, Elon, and Bezos are failures in spite of their wealth. There is no way they Forrest Gump'd their way into that money.

In fact, there is a bizarre visceral hatred for all the old Netscape guys here—Marc, Brendan, and Jamie—who in particular probably hates this place back even more, even though they are directly responsible for 95% of HN posters having jobs today.

You eat booty for breakfast?

At least wealth is a quantifiable measure of success in our society.

In contrast, many posters on HN think they're always right (it's notorious for it) with no qualifications whatsoever.

This discussion is a sea of jealously and a perfect example.

This discussion is full of schizo solutions to "secure" SSH, most of which make no practical sense or have no technical basis.

There really needs to be a definitive best practices guide published by a trusted authority.

> When a user mode application on the Mac doesn't just allow you to drag the app into the applications folder to install, it's a red huge red flag

But a lot of Apple first-party applications require installation. Packages for me and not for thee.

As do Chrome/Edge/Teams/Etc

It's 2026 and Apple still doesn't have an equivalent to MSI + the Add/Remove Programs control panel Windows has had for 30+ years.

Windows always saves a copy of the uninstaller package stub so if you trash the media you can always nope out (usually—unless the developer went out of his way to break it).

And no, the App Store is not a fix-all for this.

Are these mice the one-button species?

My solution to this very problem was to virtualize an ancient OS X (was not easy) so I could continue to use a perfectly good scanner.

Though I'm certain you've raised this issue before, and it was met with "I've never heard of anyone needing a scanner, you must be doing something weird, have you tried taking a picture of it with your iPhone(R) instead?"

When he said games did you assume he meant Solitaire?
