Well, currently shipped SPARC's volumes are relatively low AFAIK, and ARM and MIPS (now IMG) are in fact monopolies, they just happen to license the ISA & the implementation because they choose to do this. Intel does not choose to let AMD and VIA ship x86 CPUs and in this sense it's less of a monopoly. Of course you could argue that ARM is more open than x86 in some other significant sense; here I think that the PC is a more open platform than perhaps any widely shipped ARM-based system, in terms of the variety of available operating systems and software and the ease of developing such software, especially if said software is to have reasonably wide applicability and long shelf life, and also in terms of the degree of control that any single entity has over the platform.

In general I think that the "vertical disintegration" where you have fabs which are open to everyone making chips integrating cheap IPs, instead of companies with their own fabs, has destroyed "openness" - it used to be the case that you knew exactly what the hardware was doing, and it is now the case that you need to sign a draconian NDA to program most of the components in most chips, and this option is only available to select "partners." x86 is an older product and hence more open than most successful newer products; it was perhaps less open than its competitors at the time, which in part explains why it was more successful than those competitors... (A closed platform is a kind of a high-risk, high-reward game.)
We actually don't send people to prison (impost sanction) to make them stop. 0.1% of any population will break laws no matter what.

The real reason for imposing sanctions is that 80% of law abiding people would break any and all laws if there was not a threat of sanction.

It is amazing how much money one has when one exercises restraint when spending it.
Most successful businesses that use loss leaders to gain revenue / market share do so for several specific products among a much larger offering. For example, the supermarket's 50% off charcoal sale ahead of the 4th of July that gets you into the store where you'll buy hot dogs and beer.

It's not a loss leader when your entire company is losing money. It's just a loss.

Each of those transactions costs money. In the end Bitcoin can't do 25c transactions at any real scale. You have some token* backed up by bitcoin, but at that point you might as well just use Money.

You could even pretend the tokens where bitcoins, but individual 25c transactions are not going to show up on the block chain.

PS: Dogecoin can handle ~10x as many transactions as bitcoin so it might work better for this. But, even then you can't have millions of people doing several transactions per day.
Disclaimer: Not an artist myself, however i have learned much of the basics and am friends with many artists (e.g. http://kaceym.deviantart.com/ ) who earn their daily bread with commissions and have heard plenty about how they progressed.

The best way to develop them is, as with any physical skill: Basics, basics, basics. One doesn't become a master carpenter without hammering in thousands of nails.

This means, before telling you what to do, i need to warn you to not get too emotionally involved with any given piece. A day where you did 20 sketches in 5 hours will bring you forward. A day where you spent 10 hours on one piece holds you back. (At least at the start.) Don't bother with colors. Learn geometry, projection, proportions, lighting first. Colors only help to hide mistakes. Once you know all these things in and out, that's when it's time to start breaking rules.

Lastly, look up the books on drawing technique by Burne Hogarth and Andrew Loomis.
Online Business and Blogs; if we can do it, so can you
There are some very shaky bits in the JS dev arena. Just a little earlier, we read about how a developer unpublished his libraries from NPM, the fallout from this affected numerous high profile projects like node.js, which were relying on a left pad "library" that basically was a small string padding function.
for NPM? As far as I'm aware it's not even an available feature. None of rubygems/PyPi/NuGet require digital signatures...

What repositories were you thinking of that do require that?

The reason I decided to go cheap with smartphone is because I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with the intention of using it for at least 5 years but the utter piece of junk broke stone cold dead after 2 years and 3 months. I basically got robbed for half the value of the phone because of the attitude that old hardware is bad (read unprofitable) hardware and therefore we don't build stuff to last anymore. Same with the iPhone before it but in Apples case their revolutionary new iOS update made my phone basically unusable. So I voted with my wallet and went for a mid range Android option for $250.

Wait, what? You base your argument for disagreeing with the study on a documentary? You're aware that as bad as the standards for social sciences are, they still run circles around the standards for documentaries, right?

And you're aware that the core part of that documentary is based on an (AFAIK) unreproduced study on psychopathy - by somebody who likely has a vested interest in psychopathy being a problem. (Robert Hare - see www.hare.org)

I'm all for questioning the accuracy of studies, but I'd hope we'd use somewhat higher standards than that.

> nor bogus SaaS rentalware like Adobe Creative Cloud

Eh, as SaaS goes, at least Adobe's has some compelling reasons to use it, the biggest one being cost. Sure, you'll pay more in the long run, but try telling someone trying to start out a small business that they should shell out multiple thousands of dollars for Adobe CS, or multiple hundreds of dollars per individual program if buying a la carte. That's the situation my Fiance was in, and I was finally able to move her to Adobe's SaaS offering and off of pirated Adobe CS because $40/mo is much easier to swallow than the prior cost. That they offer tech support, she can easily migrate computers, and there's no virus' bundled with the installer are all good selling points when coming from that side.
Yes - if they're reducing the costs (real estate, cashiers, etc) of the store, they can get money from that side of the transaction. The same is true for food delivery: restaurants save a lot of money if they're not providing space, servers, dishwashers, etc.

This isn't to say that many won't go out of business. Many will, and the market will consolidate.
Same deal here, we'd been backing up the servers to tape and dutifully boxing and taking one set offsite. Finally someone deleted something by accident and that's when I discovered you should verify that you can read the tape once in a while.

Interesting, especially the finding that the dementia is correlated with multiple different anticholinergic drugs, but the counter-argument is simple: people taking lots of medications are probably less healthy in general, and therefore more likely to develop dementia.

Since there's no ethical way to do a prospective study, this is more suggestive than anything else. They admit they don't know the mechanism yet, so take with a grain of salt.
I think they just care whether or not you're making money with the site period. As in, money that could potentially go towards a paid certificate.
I'm also willing to give the benefit of the doubt in that given how sophisticated processors have become they realized that for important use cases they can improve performance pretty significantly with primarily microcode tweaks and slight architecture changes. If that's the case then may as well do that and take more time / less cost refining the processes and architectures for the next node.

I'm mostly speculating, though.
That's being poor in the first world. Being poor in the 3rd world is entirely different.

I guess that is relevant here since Apple is a company that makes products for first world only.
Link rot and domain squatting are a well-known decades-old issues. NPM identifiers can be considered as just another weird form of pseudo-URIs and aren't special here.

It is insane that modules don't have signatures (that are actually verified, of course). Because npm can feed you basically anything.

It's not a problem that something else gets published under the old address. It's perfectly natural. The real problem is the trust model - that new content's accepted without even warnings.

> easily more comfortable on Android

Exactly why I went back to Android for my phone. We were doing something at our bank and the bank needed a copy of a document I had in Dropbox. Easy. I open the Dropbox app email them the link. But they can't open the link. I try sharing the document with email. But that just sends a link too. I can download the document but it opens in iBooks or other PDF readers and I can't attach it to an email from iOS. On Android, just download the doc, then attach it to an email.

You assume a lot. My sister (who just replied to you) babysat for over a year to save up for a windows product and decided to get the iPad when it came out. I saw the whole process and she genuinely loves it — not because she is a fan girl but because it has made a huge impact on her career. I think it's a super inspiring story for artists young and old and a genuine compliment to the iPad Pro.
I agree with Uber being able to take over a lot of these spin offs much more efficiently. And it already has a customer base, so one fewer app I have to download and manage.

Couldn't you make the opposite argument from the same starting point?

That as the technology plateaus, and the upgrade cycle becomes longer, there's much more reason to spend more on a handset because you're not going to feel like replacing it a year later?

Spending a bit more doesn't seem like an issue for something that will last 4/5 years.

Your friend may say spending more than an R3500 is an unnecessary luxury on a cellphone. I say that the cellphone is the single most important piece of technology I own and so isn't the area I want to be stingy on.

Apple isn't necessarily the best choice even with that in mind, but that's a separate argument.

> I seriously doubt it's intended to mean (to quote the article) "LOL poor people".

He didn't mean to but this is the general reflection of the culture that permeates Apple as a company and the bubble in which they live.

I remember once one of my wealthy friends saying "I don't understand why people live in one bedroom apartments". I stared at her for a solid minute to determine if she was joking but no, she was dead serious. She genuinely did not understand. She was born and raised in a wealthy family and she just had lost track of the rest of the world.

Schiller and the Apple execs have similar blinders on and once in a while, the mask drops in a public speech because the speech writers and their proofreaders have similar blinders on and didn't realize the enormity of the implication.
Eh, probably more like the top 40-50%. All the people (and yes, there are more than a few of them) who bu anything better than the cheapest POS Walmart laptop. I built a computer for my parents at the beginning of 2012 - entirely lower midrange compnents - AMD CPU with built-in graphics, 4 GB RAM, etc. IIRC the total cost including monitor was a bit over $500.

The only thing wrong with that computer today is that it has a 7200 RPM mechanical hard drive. Even then it's not slow, it's just noticeably slower than a SSD.
I wonder on what basis you claim "the poor in most cases have self-defeating money habits", because your description doesn't fit for any people I've know with little money.
As someone typing on a 2011 Macbook Air, I really don't like that comment. What's wrong with using a 5 year old computer? Fortunately their hardwares still last for you and me. I had to send in mine for repair twice. Once for the keyboard and the other for the touchpad. If the company is pushing people to dump their 5 year old hardware, I'm going to be a little nervous to buy their new product.
Unless they can "batch" up deliveries enough. I.e. that 30 minutes actually involves 8+ deliveries to people near you. Hard to do obviously.

Hello buro9
I believe you're one of the co-founders. Are you open to share more of your plan for your startup?

I've gone through your article @medium and I really got a lot of useful tips out of it.

We are working on a similar startup and we've gone quite a distance. Whether we believe we crossed the hard period or not, we really need to learn from every possible experience that can help us in our journey.
This reminds me of something I did at a previous employer (an ISP), many, many years ago.

I needed to do an update in a SQL database to fix some customer issue - the statement should just update one row but seemed to take a looong time to run, which seemed strange. When it finished and printed something like "700000 rows updated" I noticed I had forgotten the WHERE clause and I had also not started a transaction that I could roll back. Whoops!

That's when our support got really busy answering customer phone calls and I started asking who was in charge of our backups.

That was not a good day.
How many more years of losing $2B a year until we find out the Uber model doesn't work for Uber either?
Here's my experience with 27" 4K monitors.

I originally planned on getting a single 32" 4K IPS monitor, but got tired of waiting for it to come out in Canada.

I test drove a few smaller 28 4K screens in the local computer store and realized that I could easily live with 1:1 on a 28". I ended up getting a Dell 27" 4K monitor because I wanted an IPS panel.

I realize I'm in a very small minority of users who can use 4K with no scaling at 27" -- I use a standing desk and I have single vision computer glasses for the distance my monitors are away from my face.

When I first got the 27" 4K monitor, I was in awe of the glorious real estate it afforded me. That awe didn't last long, however, because I ended up wanting even more real estate. So I bought a second, matching 4K monitor, and it's great. It's like having 8x1080p monitors.

I would love the additional real estate from a third and fourth monitor (i.e., 8K equivalent) but things would get harder at that point because of neck movements, stand availability and the fact that I have a small form factor PC with no room for additional video cards.
I've pretty much gotten to the point of upgrading my hardware only when continuing to use my current hardware is more painful.

Is this slowness//clunkiness liveable for what I'm doing? When the answer is "no" more days than "yes", it's time for me to go shopping. Until then, I'm ok with typing on something you might find on the Millennium Falcon.
The worst is when somebody reports "solved it", then you spend four hours figuring out why it didn't work only to learn the kernel changed behavior (this happened to me recently) and the problem can't be fixed.

I would argue the Surface was the first device that can actually bridge both form factors.

I have a stock HP laptop with a touchscreen and Windows 10, and yeah, I don't really use the touchscreen. But my mother has a Surface and splits the use pretty evenly between typing emails and looking up recipes or travel sites, and also doing jigsaw puzzles using the touchscreen.

I mean Apple's response to the different use cases is "buy two specialized devices", Microsoft's was to create a device that tries to do both. Yeah it's taken them a long time to be successful with that strategy, but I wouldn't say it's failing entirely.
