yes, and just like we would want people to design roads in ways that limit driver deaths, we should insist that people design facebook in ways that limit negative consequences inherent to social networks. the problem is that facebook (a) is opaque about these decisions and (b) has shown that it cares more about maximizing profit than it cares about safety and security.

the only way to change the infrastructure is to gain control over it. hard to do when power is entirely held by Facebook. Regulation is one way to exercise control, but I'd rather see some kind of mass boycott / unionization among social network users to force Facebook to be more transparent and secure about user data (for what it's worth, I've tried to set something up here [1] and here [2]).

They built a messaging platform that could be used by litterally anyone to spread any message, and have done a pretty poor job of preventing its use by outside aggitators.

That's definitely a tetanus filled rusty playground if I ever heard of it.

I don't feel that the parent comment was "niche". This argument comes up every time anyone discusses a architecture switch, and the invariable response is that Apple has already done this twice before with an emulation layer.
That would presuppose that the dog knows that he has a fit immune system, which we couldn't really explain either. I think the causality relationship is less interesting than that there's a correlation between different aspects of interaction with the environment. Maybe the causality works both ways even?

Yep, it's the slow death of the general purpose computer (Cory Doctorow reference).
I suspect (and somebody else please correct me if I'm wrong) that it refers to how much of your options vest over a period of time.

So you'd get 10 percent of your options after one year, another 20 percent at the end of your second year, another 30 percent at the end of your third, and the remaining 40 percent at the end of your fourth year.

Note that in order to collect even half of your options, you need to work there for three years.

In my case it's coding either some batch jobs in Scala, Spark (on a Hadoop cluster) and Oozie or some real-time pipelines with similar technologies (+Kafka, Spark streaming). The job pays well, but the tech is clunky and slow to develop in.
My memory is that the PPC -> x86 jump was due to PPC supply issues and the fact that the PowerPC 970 / G5 was too power hungry for laptops. I could be wrong, but I administered labs of mixed x86 / PPC Macs during the transition and the performance jump seemed just like the normal difference between successive generations.

Keep in mind that while you don’t see much 68k outside embedded these days, you still see POWER in supercomputer rankings, and it also appeared in game consoles.
Puts them in a unique position where they may see increased sales if the can prove the lack of the invasive portions of a management engine. How can they create and push to market something as complex as an x86 processor in 2 years. Sounds like a ton of work.
Either get a lawyer and take him to court, or move on and get your own business. No more hand-wriging and hoping.

It's neat seeing all the prototypes in one place. It looks like the team was trying to find what the product wanted to be. Is it a spreadsheet? Is it a wiki? A database? A web application maker? A REPL? A literate IDE? Some combination of all these things?

It seems like the team never was able to close the loop on the human outcomes of what their product was supposed to enable.
The niche market of "software developer" is in an interesting position if you include developers who create the apps that Apple needs to sell phones. Clearly "iOS app developer" is only a subset of "software developer" but I think there is only so far down the "consumer tech toy" road they can go without doing longer term damage to their ecosystem
If I am correct, it means you can make use of 10% of stock options that you are given as compensation after the first year of employment, 30% after the second year, 60% after the third, and all of it after the fourth.

It means that you have barely more than a quarter even after two years, and barely more than half after three.
If it's an Apple laptop, you can just take it to an Apple store.

SF is not a typical market.

https://www.bls.gov/ooh/media-and-communication/reporters-co...

Median pay for on-screen television news talent is less than $40k/year. That encompasses everyone, not just the anchors (aka "broadcast news analysts"), but the number for them is about $57k/year. The typical career progression is for people to move to larger cities, with larger and richer media markets, to earn higher pay.

The majority of Sinclair-owned stations are not in San Francisco.

But you are otherwise correct, the union hasn't been earning its dues here, and the highly-paid anchors haven't assumed leadership roles against the Sinclair contracts, either. Most individual anchors are not in a position of power with respect to their own employers. They may have a position of power over other people's employers, but they emphatically cannot run a critical piece on their own bosses and expect to keep sitting behind that broadcast desk, or any other.

Acting as anonymous source for a print news journalist (working for a different media conglomerate) is probably the best they can do.
The difficult part of cross-play is probably in the matchmaking and friend lists. My guess is Sony and Microsoft have different methods for implementing those.

I think it would be game changing if it pushed the industry to not have platform exclusives and to just allow a player on any platform to play against a player from any other platform.

Game changing doesn't have to be something highly technical or in a 3D engine, etc.
Fortunately, Apple regularly publishes their iOS Security Guide as criddel mentioned below and there is a vibrant Apple chip reverse engineering community that does microscope analysis of Apple's chips [1].

The official "solution" is that people voluntarily give to charity. But I doubt that people would give as much as they are currently forced to (they could probably do more good with less money by giving to efficient charities like givewell.org, but most people won't do that either). On the other hand if you are going to take money from the rich and give it to the poor, why not give it to the people in Africa who it will help most, rather than to Americans who won't be helped as much? If your answer is "Because Americans wouldn't vote for that" then what you're doing looks a lot less like charity and a lot more like theft. If you were being charitable you would want to do as much with your money as possible. (EDIT: *their money)
There’s no need for there to be two investigations, the NTSB generally produces very thorough reports that will acknowledge all causes leading to injury or death.

A USB microphone... That's a bummer. I was hoping that Zigbee or Z-wave based mics already exist. Do they? Every time I look at the landscape of home automation it's really hard to avoid clouds and Wifi.
This will give them even more advantages because they are a vertical integrated company they can differentiate them selves with hardware and software integrations
Note that the 400k/year is cost per employee, which does not directly translate to "paychecks and benefits per employee".

The employer pays payroll taxes, needs to pay rent on square footage for the office to support the employee, etc. That's all going into cost per employee, but isn't money the employee sees directly.

> facebook did not do anything special to attract these events

An attractive nuisance is not something specially put there to attract a person or incident. It's something that attracts just by it's being there in its current state.
They do this for liability purposes, not for tax purposes so it is exactly the same. The goal is to separate the revenue obtained from renting cars from the cars that are being rented so in event of a lawsuit the biggest assets (cars) are protected.

> Same thing when you walk into a CVS. "CVS Elm Street, LLC" isn't meaningfully distinguishable from CVS/Caremark, the parent.

Very very very different. What you are describing here is done for the tax purposes to segregate revenues subjected to different tax rules to guarantee that BlahTown which has one CVS in it and one CVS right outside of it cannot claim CVS needs to pay 1% on the sales done from a CVS outside of BlahTown.
Roads are public, and everything around roads and transportation is highly regulated and engineered with actual PUBLIC HEALTH and SAFETY at its core.

This is not really true. These companies entire model is handling data and they charge their partners for it. It is not a free product. As such, going off and selling the data is not really going to happen.
By disvirtuous do you vicious, or something else?
Faster != Faster. Adobe and Autodesk likely have many architecture specific optimizations, and take advantage of the large x86-64 instruction set.
You can use that sometimes, but it really complicates return values in a way Lua just doesn't have to deal with.
IMO this is people being shitty, not facebook. I would probably title it "Facebook has revealed the beast in Myanmar".

We want to improve the lives of other developers by solving hard problems for them, and by freeing them from operating and maintaining their own infrastructure. We’re passionate about developer experience and making our APIs as easy to use as we can.

What you will be doing

Pusher is a challenging but supportive environment. We are still small enough to be a team of generalist engineers with individual specialisms, so we want you to get involved with as much of our engineering lifecycle as possible. Your typical week might involve the following... for more info and to apply follow this link: https://pusher.workable.com/jobs/346844
If anyone truly believes Apple or Tim cook give a rats ass about privacy or the user, you're deeply mistaken.

Take for instance their actions in China. If they cared so much, they wouldn't transition their user data onto China-government controlled clouds.

And Zuck makes a good point about pricing. 95% of the world is priced out of Apple products. Pretending to care about the other 5% makes for good PR but bad facts. Fuck off Apple
Apple's battery fault detection is pretty good actually. Did the battery said "service battery" or "replace battery" while it was operational? If the battery status showed something similar, the battery is already damaged before storage.

I have an 2008 MacBook pro, and one of my older batteries have shown the warning. After a year or so that battery has also swollen, albeit in a milder manner than yours.

Anecdotally, I know a guy who runs a local Cloud provider in the greater-Beijing area (part of Hebei proveince). He told me Cloudflare has struck a deal with the government to have integration with them, presumably with higher standard than normal tech providers.

That might explain why CloudFlare has good performance across the globe, which in a large part related to China.

...those are called folders. DOS applications worked that way. Only UNIX people seem to think that not hardcoding all your paths is some kind of special voodoo.

Oh, you meant that they package the libraries with the application? Yeah. If it isn't part of the base system, they do. That's how it should work or you get DLL hell.

Problem with Linux Desktop is if you put any two of its community in a room you'd have 4 different incompatible base systems within a week.
Not that I condone the audience's behavior, but this was not the premiere. They mention having played it in Boston before taking it to NY.
Their x86 cores were about 5x faster when you accounted for everything. And even though Rosetta was a JIT it ended up running a little slower than the PowerPC chips it was replacing.

So to start off with chips that, let's assume are only about 90% of the chips that you're replacing in native code, you're now at least under half the performance of x86 while emulating. And that means half the battery life too.

This is correct. Snap has this structure in place before their ipo.

Source: I had an offer from Snap 3yrs back which I rejected because of this.
It seems like my comment is being evaluated without proper context. Sure, some companies are moving some of their data into someone else's datacenter. Is that 50% of companies? Are they moving their core business data? Like when there's a network outage, they can't do business? When there's a partial data loss, they close their doors?

When we're talking about an entire ecosystem going away, the new one has to have almost 100% adoption. Windows desktop is going to exist for a really long time, especially when everyone else is giving up on desktops.
There's two problems with that story: first, the famous switch from PowerPC to Intel happened when the desktop was the king, and app developers had strong incentive to recompile programs to the new platform. Right now? Not so much.

Second, while Apple's mobile processors are currently the best in ARM world, for "pro" desktop computers Apple needs desktop-grade processor. Making something comparable to i7 isn't such an easy and cheap job.
I dont think there is strong connection between a larger instruction set, and performance.
Why did they keep those records? Different tax rates for different religions? Seems like none of their business.
tl:dr; healthier dogs seem happier...
I am not saying that at all. I am just saying the online gatherings we have now are unprecedented both in their size and in their numbers.

Imagine an in person rally of 10k people. It would be a huge event both and get huge coverage. Bigger rallies will have even more. So some local media or local government has a chance to counter the falsehoods and make people aware. Governments may even choose to not allow some gatherings in some parts of the world if they fear they will cause a significant law and order issue.

Also, offline gatherings depend on people propagating the issue. This would have previously required people brain washed or dedicated for the cause. Now even normal people can forward anything to all theie WhatsApp contacts and boom, the chain goes on.
But there is still bias here. Bias in the stories submitted, in that they're skewed toward the I interests of white male 20-30 somethings. Not a lot of diversity of opinion and point of view here, which is another way of saying prevailing bias.
And it’s actually a pre that every iOS app works on multiple architectures. If Apple ever wants to change iOS to run on a different type of CPU it’ll be easy.
The Smart Contract.
I don’t know what the current status is but they have definitely looked at making their own baseband chips before.
You start at Electron. Having used most of the GUI frameworks listed above, making a GUI app in HTML/JavaScript is faaaar easier.
The thing I've come to realize over the past couple years is that the dream of performant open hardware is still beyond reach for at least a decade or two.

But this is probably the next best thing to have. A company that at least tries to be sensitive in terms of privacy and security building their own hardware, albeit not open. I respect Apple for that.
Could say the same thing about iPhone encryption...
There are several aspect to the perf hypotheses you make, and I don't see why Apple could not design its own CPU with excellent perfs.

Current Apple best CPUs are already performing very well compared to some Intel CPU. Not the fastest Intel CPU, obviously, but a) Apple Arm implementation is already above all the Arm competitors b) we are talking about an Arm implementation optimized for low energy consumption and other components and functions essential to a high end mobile phone -- and even then it starts to catch up chips that are dissipating more and integrate far less features c) the hypothetical Apple latop/desktop cpu won't be coming today.

From a theoretical pov I see nothing that prevent Apple to achieve what they want. Especially with the kind of money they have, and the kind of team they have to already design chips. Oh btw, the A11 has more transistors than a 4core Skylake. That does not means much, except that we are dealing with the similar kind of projects, and that in that kind of project, the perf and thermal budget you have is not something that suddenly makes the people working on it go: oh my god, but we don't know how to make that, we are only good for mobile phone SoC. I suspect some of Apple employees working on their chips even worked at Intel before...

Another problem with what you say is that the workloads you consider are especially well suited for accelerations, and it is even simpler to compete in this area compared to old school CPU power. You just need bulk compute power, that can come in the form of, at least: vector instructions; GPU; DSP; fixed function acceleration units. Those areas are not especially dominated by Intel.

Some last points are that: top CPU speed are (mostly) not growing anymore. That lets others catch up Intel in the few area that they did not yet -- others also are catching up on the process side.

The result of that equation is that I really don't see why Apple could not manage to create high performance CPU to the point of not needing Intel anymore. Maybe at first they would limit to their laptops, and switch the Mac Pro last, but I'm not even sure of that.
True, but right now I don't have to do it myself. Things like brew just work. If the proposal is to throw away something that works, and add the burden of doing it myself to my to-do list, that doesn't sound at all appealing.
If you mean "neoliberal" to be factual news, then you have a point.
