that being said, if golds utility value is only 10% of what people pay for it today then maybe that particular investment needs re-evaluation :p

Even at $15-20B all cash, Apple would be overpaying, and then having to deal with all of the continuing business of supporting AMD, including the ATi problem - there's just no way to acquire AMD without destroying the graphics/gpu-compute market (you know, any more than AMD has already done themselves). There's probably some other explosive x86 licensing terms that would have to be hammered out under the transfer as well (iirc, in the past when AMD buyouts have been discussed, to deal with the architecture licensing stickiness they all had to be "reverse mergers" with AMD, and that killed every prospect of that happening...)

Just not worth the hassle compared to the price of an ARM license or sticking with Intel (or even just investing a huge chunk of cash in AMD to build super power efficient laptop chips, if you had any confidence that they could pull it off).

I disagree with your sense of unqualified populism implies authoritarian populism. In my experience it's used without qualifiers to describe both Trump and Bernie. I suppose whether you think those two are authoritarian probably depends a lot on your own political leanings. But generally it means "fight the power." Or in Trump's case, "drain the swamp [0]."

Computer engineer Ryan Barrett fills in online forms with 0000s whenever a number is required and uses dashes for words. He says it is mostly out of principle: he wants to be in control of his information. Also, it's fun to try to fool the marketers. He has used a dozen different spellings for John Doe rather than entering his name. He even misspells his name when reserving airplane tickets and says it has never created a problem going through security.

...

He says he has friends who work at companies that look at multiple services to link up and cross-reference data on individuals-data gleaned from mobile phones, social media, grocery store loyalty cards and more. When those friends searched for him in their systems, they found little to no information. "There's a small feeling of satisfaction," he says.

...

All the lying does seem to foil advertisers. It is "a much bigger problem than people are aware of," says Nick Baker, director of research and consulting of U.K. market research company Verve, which conducted a 2015 survey showing a large amount of fake information on website registrations and the like.

Incorrect birth years, he says, are particularly nefarious because advertisers are often trying to match up habits or buying patterns with a specific age group.

21, as much as you might like, YOU do not determine the course of this discussion. Mr. Trump's tweet has more relevance. The focus of the discussion is therefore on the relationship between the USPS and Amazon, and how it would affect the USA.

If Mr. Trump decides to start tweeting about fixing the double irish with a dutch sandwich loophole (see: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/double-irish-with-a-dut...), then I'll support it. Alas, that is not what Mr. Trump is talking about today. Neither you nor I determine the course of the national discourse. Only Mr. Trump has the power of the bully pulpit.
Tim Cook is fundamentally an operations person who drives cost out of the supply chain. During his time as CEO, Apple seems to be innovating in the supply chain instead of the products. At Apple's scale, building your own chips and iPhone screens makes sense but doesn't intrinsically add value to customers. I wish Apple would invest as much in their software as they do in reducing cost.

Fortune Magazine in 2008:
Think of Cook’s contribution like this. There are two basic ways to get great profit margins: Charge high prices or reduce costs. Apple does both. The marketing and design drive consumers wild with desire—and make them willing to pay a premium; Cook’s operational savvy keeps costs under control. Thus Apple is a cash-generating machine. Cook has called the company a place that is “entrepreneurial in its nature but with the mother of all balance sheets.” At last count that meant $24.5 billion in cash and no debt.

Yes, I use this extensively in a web crawler -- network I/O is done in a main thread that's cpu bound doing networking stuff, and cpu-burning tasks like html parsing are done in child threads done by run_in_executor. Without trying very hard I can get to a load of 3-4 during ordinary web crawling.
No for-profit news organizations? That don't take money in exchange for delivering consumers eyeballs to advertisers I presume?

I hope then that you subscribe to your public broadcasting stations (read: fund PBS and NPR news reporting--are you OK with that?) and have told your representatives to fund those organizations.

If not, then you're looking for something that cannot be achieved and will forever be moving the goalposts. Media in the US or anywhere else, even when it is best, has never been un-biased. But it has been more honest and fair.
I'd say that would be splitting hairs. But arewewebyet has downloads badges for the frameworks. If we go by those numbers, Iron has significant lead and Rocket coming second.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Rocket would be bit more feature-packed than Jester.

> assuming Amazon doesn't eat both your lunches in the meantime

Funny enough, this is where we differ most about vision for the company.
> This specific issue has nothing to do with Trump.

I can certainly agree with that. In these sorts of discussions I work hard to ignore the 'people are complaining about ...' sorts of inputs because people complain about everything, it is hard to develop understanding from that.

However it is useful to understand economic value is changing. For example, gasoline was a 'waste product' of refining oil for kerosene[1]. When the economic value of gasoline changed, it changed how the companies were viewed. Nuclear power was once the power of the future with high economic value, until it was perceived (or maligned depending on your point of view) into being a threat to civilization.

So where does economic value arise? It is the ratio of the cost of production over the price of a good. So raising tariffs allows the cost of production of a foreign good to rise, and assuming the buyers are all trying to get the same price, the economic value of aluminum production goes up in the local (tariff free) economy.

So the price of aluminum goes up, and now it can be made profitably in Spokane, so an aluminum plant (mill?) opens up and jobs are created and the town becomes more prosperous.

With tariffs it is possible to raise the effective cost of any good to the point where it can be made profitably locally. However it requires that the local economy be able to pick up production. That is generally not a problem for the US economy, not as easily done on places like Brazil for example which can have high tariffs and still not have a local iPhone factory.

The rust belt folks believe that the country will switch to manufacturing things locally and consumers will eat the cost increase (or not eat, pun intended). They may be correct, they may not. Seems like we get the experiment regardless of our point of view.

A lot of new businesses (most?) just go with what their accountant and/or bookkeeper tells them to use. A lot of accountants continue to prefer Quickbooks.

One of the accountants I know considers herself computer savvy (she's not, but that's a different topic) and she's pretty young (30s) and she insisted I build her a server for her business to run Quickbooks off of. She won't trust a cloud solution, or even a remotely hosted server. Some of this fear seems to be based on the seminars she goes to which are either held by or attended by FBI special agents. They are pretty good at telling you all the ways you may be hacked, and precious little practical advice on how to avoid that while staying sane.
Software, you could make a case, that's been a bit of a mess lately.

> Why would you assume...?

Because there is not data that specifies the opposite in the link (and extra info was lacking when I wrote it), thus is a reasonable and logical first thing to check.

> Is there a reason you automatically assume that the security researcher is irresponsible...?

Please, don't put words in my mouth. I didn't called irresponsible anybody and I didn't automatically assume anything. To be honest, I couldn't care less about who, if one, has the responsibility here. I'm trying to learn something. Not more, not less.

Captain fucking obvious is a nice title. We'll have a safer world when people start paying notice to a lot of fucking obvious and boring things. This reminds me a lot to the outrageous lexNET case (that was much, much, worse than internet knowing who has a sweet tooth for buns).
Want Another's Perspective? Ask Them. Guessing Doesn't Work
From an outside perspective this seems rather random, but we were really methodically exploring a design space. We incorporated different ideas from each IDE into the next. For a long time we were working on the IDE and semantics of the language at the same time, which was really holding us back. Eventually we separated those concerns, and refined the programming model in v0.2. But in each iteration of the language, there was something missing, causing us to try a new angle, or to throw out old assumptions.

What we really wanted from Eve was to define programming in a way that didn't feel like programming. We got close to this feeling in FiveSquare Eve and WikiEve. Smalltalk Eve (that's not what we called it, but what the article calls it) was probably the closest we got to this ideal, but unfortunately we didn't have enough runway to flesh it out.
In their conference they presented that shit part of their VR strategy or similar completely insane BS.

This is contrary to my experience. I've been on various Macs for years, tried to switch to a Surface Pro (i7 model) + WSL. Nice machine, but it didn't work. I ended up running Ubuntu in a VM just to get `npm install` to work reliably. And that was horrible and slow, even with VMWare. Installing Linux on that thing looks like a lot of work (there's a whole SurfaceLinux subreddit...)

You know what I ended up doing after nine months of this crap? I switched back to my trusty old 15" MacBook Pro. The backlight is dying, but it works a lot better for me than Windows or Linux!
