Words have meaning. The “result” of a computation is different from side effects. The distinction is important. Speculative execution will always modify “observable state.” E.g. power usage.
So, without taking a side, the part quoted doesn't conflict with what the press is saying.

1. highest revenue ever from a new iPhone lineup

It's also the most expensive. Simply put, they could sell fewer iPhone Xs and still make more revenue simply because of the increased price.

So even with the highest revenue, it could still be lackluster in quantity sold, as well as what the profit is like.

2. [iPhone X] has been our top-selling iPhone every week since it shipped in November

It simply needs to sell more the other iPhones during the same time period. This makes sense, as it was released later than the iPhone 8. You could make the assumption that the majority of everyone that wanted an iPhone 8 would have bought one prior to the iPhone X being released.

For here, a better comparison would have been units sold of a new iPhone and if it beat that.

Again, I'm not suggesting it's a failure or a success, merely trying to look at the quote objectively and what it says, and what that really means.
Having wisdom teeth pulled is a whole different story. Years after I had those out, I had two premolars removed under local anesthesia. A couple of hard pulls and it was over, and they never even hurt after the novocaine wore off. (Well they hurt if I poked the bare spot, but otherwise they were just fine.)
Well, they sold 77.3m this quarter compared to 78.3m last quarter. The whole pie is shrinking, but by a tiny amount. But they made $7b more revenue from that. So it worked out well for them.
EZBoard[0], a hosted forums website where you could register a forum for free and IIRC pay to remove ads. (from 98/99 to ~2004)

For me it was social media before social media. I'm just barely old enough to have used newsgroups in the late 90s, but I was never a friend of the interfaces to that medium (which is interesting, I usually prefer CLI over GUI, just not for communication). The web, on the other hand, was very very interesting.

Long story short, made a ton of friends on various of the board communities (mostly digital artists, graphic/screen designers, and web developers (before that was a term)).

Uber Wants to Make It Illegal to Operate Your Own Self-Driving Car in Cities
Is this something she wants? If not, you may be facing an uphill battle.

If so, help her set goals. She needs a project to work on. Let it be interest led. Girls often have different gaming interests from boys. Respecting that fact will help you get traction.

I am female. I like match 3 games and city building games. But I was a military wife and a history major. I hate how a lot of city building games have military bases and bizarre disasters (like alien invasions) but war has no real world impact on the economy.

My sons have introduced me to a number of 4x games, like Master of Magic, by telling me "It's like SimCity" and helping me play it with an emphasis on civilization building, minimizing the pain of dealing with combat and strategy for me. Way down my list of things I would like to do is make a city building game I would like, one that incorporates war as an element but isn't focused on winning by killing and conquering everything.

So, that's a little rambly and doesn't suggest specific tools. Commenting at all because I did homeschool my two sons, who both likely qualify for an ASD diagnosis.

Best.

trigger warning: bitter jaded ops person working in a real company

"[...] users are expected to stay “reasonably up-to-date with versions of Kubernetes they use in production.” [...] the upstream Kubernetes community only aims to support up to three “minor” Kubernetes version at a time. [...] if you deployed a Kubernetes 1.6 soon after it came out last March, you were expected to upgrade to 1.7 within roughly nine months or by the time 1.9 shipped in mid-December."

Jesus christ this is so annoying.

Businesses don't have a couple hundred billion dollars sitting around to spend on engineers to look at release notes, compare changes, write new features, write new test cases, fix bugs, and push to prod, every 3 months, just to keep existing functionality for orchestrating their containers.

We have LTS because businesses (and individuals) don't want to have to do the above. They just want a reliable tool. They want the ability to say that if a bug is found in 3 years, it will be fixed, and they can just keep using the tool.

We don't give a crap about "Kubernetes’ domination of the distributed infrastructure world". We don't want to use Kubernetes. We just want an orchestration tool - commodified tooling. We want to stop caring about what we're running. We just want the fucking thing to work, and to not have to jump through hoops for it to work.

"Moving Kubernetes Workloads to New Clusters instead of Upgrading"

UGH. We only do this for bastardized unholy stupid shit like OpenStack. Not only is this not fun, it takes forever (you try moving 50 different clients off the service they've been using for three years), and you have to have duplicate resources. What the fuck is the point of cloud computing and containers and all this bullshit if I have to have double the infrastructure and juggle how it's all used just to upgrade some fucking software?!??!?!

"The Kubernetes-as-a-Service offerings, particularly Google Cloud’s Kubernetes Engine (GKE), are the well-polished bellwethers of what is currently the most stable and production-worthy version of Kubernetes."

Oh. We're supposed to pay Google to run it for us.

....I'm just going to use AWS.
Always fun to see how two correct interpretations of the exact same number can be seen as correct vs misleading depending on the tone of the writer.
Understanding Apple Earnings in 30 Seconds
AMD is working hard on the opensource AMDGPU Linux drivers, they have been working well for me. Unfortunately, AMD doesn't have parity with Nvidia's CUDA, there are nascent efforts to compete with ROCm/OpenCL, but CUDA is quite far ahead for ML applications. Sadly, upstream TF relies on CUDA and isn't showing any signs of supporting AMD GPUs.

I'm hoping the "No data center usage" clause Nvidia recently sprung in its license will encourage more people to develop for, or expend more effort on porting ML libraries and tools to AMD GPUs.

Interestingly this is very similar to the case of VW Diesel engines. They were cutting corners for performance, and the cheap fix (software) incurs a performance and/or efficiency penalty of the same magnitude as the Spectre/Meltdown patches.

In that case, the outcome was significantly better for consumers in the US compared to elsewhere.

They added another $6.7 billion in long-term debt in the quarter, bringing the total up to $103.9 billion.

With the tax changes now taken care of, I'd like to see them begin reducing that immense pile of debt. You do it while times are good and you're pulling in $50b in net income, rather than getting caught in a very bad position later (which is overwhelmingly what most companies do).

In a very short amount of time, several of the leading tech companies have gone from being among the least indebted companies, to among the most indebted. Microsoft as another example, is carrying $76 billion in long-term debt, up from $27 billion in 2015. Their cash exceeds their debt, I consider that a very low bar to be setting though. Instead of bribing shareholders with buybacks (an indicator of lackluster growth opportunities in the business, when it comes to capital deployment opportunities), and artificially boosting EPS growth, that capital should all be going into paying down debt.
Apple's multiple has always been much lower than almost every other tech company. It's always seemed completely irrational to me.. which is why I hold a lot of AAPL.

They continually grow, make a boatload of money every quarter, and pay a good dividend.

Australia is just getting started developing a investor ecosystem. In the last few years there are a few entrepreneurs like me that have have started giving back to build the ecosystem, but relatively few.

The real blocking point is Series B and beyond where there is very little true VC money. Biotechs really need support at this stage and it forces far too many Australian biotechs to list on the ASX at a very early stage.
Or the market's reaction following the announcement. I would imagine that they have to have two draft titles ready for every piece written about earnings announcements.

This article concerns me, especially considering the first thing you see is "There is no such thing as Kubernetes LTS (and that’s fantastic)".

What is so great about running your infrastructure on a platform that has no intention of ensuring long-term stability? Irregardless of how well backward-compatibility is maintained, the idea that we should all move our infrastructure to something that lacks the fundamental promise of "updating won't break everything" seems downright irresponsible.

3 Penteados para o Primeiro Dia de Aula 2018 – #Beltododia – por Bélit Araújo
It may not be racism, but it's still a largely-unsubstantiated accusation of racism designed to elicit support for their cause.

This story hits very close to home for me. I had my tonsils and adenoids removed 37 years ago at the same hospital in Oakland. Waking up from the surgery is still one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. I was strapped to my bed in the recovery room because they feared 3-year-old me would remove his IV. I tried to make a noise, but my throat was so swollen and in such pain that I couldn't vocalize. I lay there in agony for over 2 hours before a nurse realized I was awake. They sent me home a day later despite the fact that I couldn't swallow food beyond a couple of spoonfuls of ice cream. My mom had to take me back to the emergency room a week later to get an IV because I was basically starving.

All-in-all, I also feel I got substandard care there. And while 3-year-old me and the girl in the article likely shared some things in common--I'm guessing we both came from somewhat poor families with insufficient health coverage--race isn't one of those things.

So as a white person who went through a not-nearly-as-terrible-but-still-pretty-terrible version of what they went through, I think it's important that we acknowledge that the hospital may have had completely different reasons for supplying substandard care and that jumping straight to race as a root cause isn't constructive.

I really appreciate this nod. Gun rights are a big part of the reason I could never live in the Valley, and though it's a huge part of many people's lives across the country it's not something that you see recognized in recruiting efforts.

It only does it in private mode. I experimented with the referrer options mentioned in the article with mixed success. Not sending the referer header breaks some sites and often in a non-obvious way.

EDIT: referrer header -> referer header
I've heard this a ton of times, but I really can't grasp it. I've used RSS readers before, switched to Google Reader because it was better and didn't have a problem adjusting to another one after it went down.

But I've experienced this with other things, like for example I've been using Thunderbird since not long after Firefox was still called Phoenix and haven't manage to find anything close to a replacement, so maybe I shouldn't even speak up. :)

> However, by the year 2057, as shown on the Buy n Large website, the conglomerate became a worldwide leader in the fields of aerospace, agriculture, construction, consumer goods, corporate grooming, earth transport, electronics, energy, engineering, finance, food services, fusion research, government, hydro-power, infrastructures, media, medical science, mortage loans, pet care, pharmaceuticals, phsycotherapies, ports and harbors, real estate, repairs, retail, robotics, science/health, space, storage, super centers, super grids, travel services, utilities, and watermills. The corporation's control affected other companies as well. It seemed as though other businesses wanted BnL to buy them out, such as Headr Inc. which gave BnL control of the world news headlines.

You were downvoted because, quite frankly, your post, and this response, quite frankly, came off with the attitude of "If you don't start your own company, you're an idiot." That, combined with the kneejerk response of "start your own company!" combined with the fact that many of us just plain don't want to do that; we don't want the assload of hours and commitment it comes with that we'd rather spend with our families generally means that such suggestions do not contribute to the discussion.

Not to mention, this is "Hacker News", not "Entrepreneur News". While there is a good deal of overlap, most of the content here is technology related, not business related. I don't see many articles being posted here on how to choose a health plan for your company, for instance.
