I believe the easy answer is that they thought they could adapt x86 to all markets, and that became the strategy.

More complicated is that Intel came into the mid-90s with several "next generation" architectures, some that weren't solely developed at Intel. XScale came from Digital and had IP from ARM. i960 was a joint venture with Siemens. And they still had the i860 which by this point it was clear was never going to meet expectations in the market. So when the x86 folks said "Intel should put all it's wood behind our arrow", politically they were fighting groups that were weakened by NIH or who'd already for all practical purposes failed. Probably didn't hurt that Pentium was doing quite good and P6 was looking good on the horizon.

It's not that you cannot play for Blackhawks for a few seasons, and then sign up with Rangers. As the revolving door metaphor suggests, the movement is both more frequent and continuous. Glenn Greenwald goes even further in With Liberty and Justice For Some, suggesting the government and the industry have in practice become two departments of the same organization, with employees being reassigned, but never actually leaving:

"People like [the Democratic appointees] Rubin, Summers, Patterson, and Gensler shuffle back and forth between the public and private sectors, taking turns as needed with their GOP counterparts. When in government, they ensure that laws and regulations are written to redound directly to the benefit of a handful of Wall Street firms, abolishing most regulatory safeguards that keep those behemoths in check. When the electoral tide turns against them, they return to those very firms and collect millions upon millions of dollars, profits made possible by the laws and regulations they implemented (or failed to implement) when they were in charge. Then, when their party returns to power, back they go into government, where they use their influence to ensure that the cycle keeps on going."

And if you don't care for a 9–5 back at your old bank, or your party holds the presidency for too long and you're kinda strapped for dineros, you just ask for a reassignment with a short period of unemployment. During the sabbatical, you visit your Wall Street office for a few hours, collect a "speaking fee"[1], and take a holiday. When you come back, infused with vitamin D and liquidity, your lesser-minded colleagues may think you never left or (gosh!) took a bribe.

Why would it be wrong for you? Your goal is to start a business. This is your passion and something that interests you.

On the contrary, I know so many people that are not that interested in owning a business. They stumble on some sort of idea, but end up failing because they aren't willing to sacrifice and put the work into actually running it.

A business is tough. If you aren't interested in it, you won't make it in the long-run.
Why We Sleep Badly on Our First Night in a New Place
They do that in Germany. Higher end cars come with a governor that caps the speed at 250 km/h. (That's around 155 mph, for the unenlightened.)

That's still below the legal speed limit on some German roads. But it's above the highest recommended speed of 130 km/h (~ 80 mph).

The governor is merely a gentlemen's agreement between the big car manufacturers, and any garage will take it out no questions asked.

VW screwed up- BADLY. But I lost interest as soon as I saw the picture of Joyce the protestor. Good grief, a TDI still gets way better gas mileage and is probably still cleaner than an equivalent gasoline car. I would totally buy one with cash on the hood today. I think that some perspective is needed here. Let existing cars carry on, make VW fix as well as possible and give them greater scrutiny until trust is earned back.

No. First of all, EVs can run on electricity from any source, i.e. it doesn't matter if it comes from coal/ nuclear or renewables. Thus, they are more flexible, since traditional cars mostly run on gas and would be useless if we run out of it.

Likewise, batteries are made from different materials, so if we did run out of Lithium, I'm sure it would be feasible to use something else.

But in general, they're not a good solution to our transport needs as long as they're owned by individuals and only used for 1-2 hours a day. And we do live on a planet with finite resources, so we'd need to come up with a way to recycle most of the parts of a car in the longer run.
1. There are enormous lithium reserves already: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=total+lithium+res... and likely much more that we don't know about.

2. Lithium is recyclable. At the moment processes for doing so aren't that good and the cost of Li isn't high enough to justify recycling, but the first one will almost certainly change and the latter one may.

3. The big bottleneck right now isn't raw lithium—it's converting the raw lithium into useful batteries.

Microsoft’s $20.5B quarter: Office up, Surface up, cloud booming
That's not even remotely true. I don't blame you. Most people fall for the lie.
> not to mention who have significantly diversified their revenue from their original business lines

Both Microsoft and Intel very successfully diversified their businesses at various times. I'm not sure you could have named two other tech giants that did a better job of diversifying away from their original product lines (which was not Windows for Microsoft, and was not microprocessors for Intel).

Microsoft didn't start out as an operating system company, they diversified into that business. Then they successfully diversified all over again. Windows dominated Microsoft's business for about 15-18 years. That's no longer the case. All profit from Windows could go away tomorrow and they would still be earning around $15 billion per year in net income. They're now a heavily diversified technology conglomerate.

Intel was a business initially built on memory chips, which were their first products. They did an extremely good job of diversifying; had they not they would have disappeared with the memory business.

"While Intel created the first commercially available microprocessor (Intel 4004) in 1971 and one of the first microcomputers in 1972, by the early 1980s its business was dominated by dynamic random-access memory chips."

I actually disagree. Most entrepreneurs DO actually want independence first! To be their own boss, first. This crap about passion and purpose is a way gets pushed heavily in the software circles. Most people don't love owning gas stations, or moving companies, or slogging at a restaurant. They own them because they can control then, grow them, have autonomy, and feed their families. A true entrepreneur will work 80 hrs to avoid working 40 as a 9 to 5. Jobs are death to you if you're an entrepreneur. The monotony, the security, the predictability aren't what true entrepreneurs want. To them, managing their own time, resources, and experience is more important than money, and more important than "changing the world". The "change the world" mantra, IMHO, is a way to entice certain individuals to try to produce 100x companies.

Motorola did have an inexpensive next-gen 8/16-bit chip. It was called the mc6809. That said, the whole point of the 68000 was that it's 16-bits wide, so I'm not sure a cheaper, narrow bus version would have made any difference.
Procrastination is a lack of motivation, which itself is a combination of self-interest + self-efficacy (expected probability of success).

I overcame procrastination / lack of motivation when I read this article[1], effectively summarizing the above through a study of the study habits of successful (non-procrastinating) children. Now, when I procrastinate, I ask myself, what is my selfish motivation for completing this, and do I believe I will be successful? If I don't have a self-interest, I create one. If I don't believe I will be successful, I find a way to ensure success or sufficiently increase my confidence in my ability to achieve success.

> what business are they looking to capture in self-driving cars for example? I see no example of an actual business there so far.

God, I wouldn't want to be on the record saying that. People used to say things like this about web search too.
The phone was a work phone issued by the San Bernardino Health Department, so no - the heirs of the killers didn't assume ownership of the phone. It was always the property of the San Bernardino Health Department.
Self driving cars: imagine you could just tap a button on your phone and a car came along to take you to your destination - you would not need to own a car anymore and instead pay a monthly fee to Alphabet (or whoever). The fee will be even lower if you agree to watch ads during the ride. ;-)

But the big opportunity is that they could offer you a car-as-a-service for much less than the current cost of a car. Today's cars are unused most of the time, so if we'd replace them with such a service, we'd need significantly fewer of them, thus reducing the cost.

What's not $1, the arduino or NodeMCU (opensource)? The price I quoted was for board with power regulator, breakout of GPIO, and WiFi (of course). You can run the Arduino IDE and serve web pages from it. Someone has created a Lisp/scheme running on it.

This app is awesome, as are a couple of other regex apps. I noticed that they offer commercial licenses as well. Would the people behind this site be willing to share any paid subscription numbers? Not necessarily raw figures, even free vs paid proportions will be interesting.

I'm intensely curious about paid memberships for web apps such as these. On one hand, they are absolutely awesome. On the other hand, I'm too much of a programmer to see how this generates revenue.

I have an app which also serves as a tool for a small niche (much smaller than debuggex). A bunch of people use my tool daily but I've always assumed that if I created a 'premium' version, I won't make more than $5-$10 :)

Always wanted to be a business owner. Played with spreadsheets many times. Started a couple of ideas, never shared them with anyone, never launched. Started something with a friend, made $1,000, stopped there.

Took 10-15 years. Found the right business opportunity. The job itself did not look that interesting, but played on my strengths/skills, and looked like a serious business that could make money. Got it going. Liked being on my own. Liked growing the business, servicing my clients. Found the core part of the business annoying, the tech part interesting.

Still going at it, many years later. Very happy since, very happy now.

You should point to: https://trollius.readthedocs.org/ which states that it is discontinued and you should just move on to Python 3.

I think you should give asyncio a try first (especially on Python 3.5 with async/await keywords) before stating there's no compelling reasons. Another strong (for me) reason to go with Python 3 is that it has bunch of old warts removed. The code is just easier to maintain.
You honestly had really shitty spam blocking before. That's all. Nothing more. They didn't invent spam free email.

"public funds" is not a single shared bucket of loot that everyone puts into. In this case it was a county owned device.

County governments are typically recognized incorporated organizations that have no real line of authority or connection with the federal government.

So no, the FBI or federal doesn't have some ownership claim that makes it ok to break into. As others point out they have basically seized the device from its owner in the course of investigation.
Stopping the acceptance of potential grantees is just putting an inefficient barrier to entry of new people. The end result of limiting people rather than a base quality is that it would favour the old over the young which I don’t think is a good outcome.

Sure, but it's a zero sum game. The change in reputation of one bank won't affect the overall demand for banking services. From the point of view of the regulator trying to snag a private sector job, it doesn't matter. The same amount of banking business will continue to be done--if Bank A takes a hit Bank B will have more work and more jobs.

On your latter point, it is a bit of a flaw that I feel inclined to address - Depends on implementation. on iPhone, your "fingerprint" is not exposed when you use that to unlock your phone... but then again when using that to maneuver in an app, you're doing no server side validation.

Per Apple Support (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204587):

Touch ID doesn't store any images of your fingerprint. It stores only a mathematical representation of your fingerprint. It isn't possible for someone to reverse engineer your actual fingerprint image from this mathematical representation. The chip in your device also includes an advanced security architecture called the Secure Enclave which was developed to protect passcode and fingerprint data. Fingerprint data is encrypted and protected with a key available only to the Secure Enclave. Fingerprint data is used only by the Secure Enclave to verify that your fingerprint matches the enrolled fingerprint data. The Secure Enclave is walled off from the rest of the chip and the rest of iOS. Therefore, iOS and other apps never access your fingerprint data, it's never stored on Apple servers, and it's never backed up to iCloud or anywhere else. Only Touch ID uses it, and it can't be used to match against other fingerprint databases.

This reminds me a lot of Avro:

https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/

They both have self-describing schemas, support for binary values, JSON-interoperability, basic type systems (Ion seems to support a few more field types), field annotations, support for schema evolution, code generation not necessary, etc.

I think Avro has the additional advantages of being production-tested in many different companies, a fully-JSON schema, support for many languages, RPC baked into the spec, and solid performance numbers found across the web.

I can't really see why I'd prefer Ion. It looks like an excellent piece of software with plenty of tests, no doubt, but I think I could do without "clobs", "sexprs", and "symbols" at this level of representation, and it might actually be better if I do. Am I missing something?
