It&#x27;s nice to agree sometimes :)<p>I&#x27;d say moreso than the laws, is just the hierarchies entrenched in every sphere of life are the real mechanisms preventing any real change.<p>On one hand, stability is good, but at what cost, right?<p>Something as small as the apple app store - everyone knows it&#x27;s bad, nothing has been done about it for years.<p>If Apple tomorrow, came to HackerNews and said hey, we know the app store sucks, we are going to hire a 20 person team of stars to re-build it. We will give you full autonomy, high paycheques, lots of publicity and a full year to do it.<p>Wouldn&#x27;t that be an overwhelmingly positive move? Even if a year later, the team failed to deliver, at the very least it&#x27;d generate a ton of enthusiasm and new ideas.<p>This is a small example of big companies not willing to do anything outside the stale old box, even when there is absolutely no downside. It&#x27;s those old, bored farts earning a paycheque that are the problem every time.<p>Apple has the money, just not the wisdom to go outside the box every now and again. Politics is 1000x worse I imagine.
