> I mean, if Apple actually actually cared about adult content in general, they would remove browsers from all their content, lest their users be exposed to an infinite torrent of smut and filth.

You say this like it’s possible. If it were, I’d bet it would ship by default in browsers.

In any case, the fact that they have a stake in content at all is a moral choice. They could allow users to install apps through any other way than Apple, but they don’t.
Dozens of doctors over the years have rolled their eyes at me whenever I reported that my excruciating migraines were connected with flare ups in intestinal pain.

Many would make passive aggressive remarks like "What?... Maybe you should have a psychiatric evaluation." At one point I decided to trust them and go along with it, resulting in years of medication and dealing with withdrawal symptoms upon deciding to quit, which they claimed did not exist at all and that I was making it up.

I am happy that numerous studies like this one continue to vindicate all the things I reported to doctors over the years, although it is likely that the arrogant doctors continue to lack the introspection to realize what they did to me and many other patients, and thus admit nothing, in spite of the increasing evidence that they were flat out wrong.
Qualcomm has been facing multi-front battles in the past few years: Apple Lawsuit, NXP deal nixed, Broadcom hostile take over, China problem, Regulator problems, Board In-fights, pressure from activist investor to "cut cost"/split the licensing business... etc, etc. Making the arm server business from 0 to a commercial hit would be too much to ask. Although it did have the best chance.
AT&T has but T-Mobile still has 2g GSM service.
Source being on GitHub does not equal "is open source". Restrictions on commercial use are incompatible with open source. The Open Source Initiative, which coined the term and evaluates licenses for compatibility with the Open Source Definition (see https://opensource.org/definition), is crystal clear on this point: if your license has a field-of-use restriction -- such as a restriction on commercial use -- then it's not open source. This is why Numworks is careful not to describe their software as "open source", to their credit.
The general strategy is to port one function to Rust at a time. At first those functions would be called from C and would call functions written in C, but the more you port the more your Rust functions would be calling other Rust functions, so the more scope you would have for using advanced Rust features like generics, traits, enums, etc.

I used an old-style phone a few years back. Some things I had forgotten about:

- syncing contacts to the phone is near impossible
- typing on t9 is slowwwww
- setting up MMS etc is a PITA
- no apps even for things like driving directions, simple web searches, voice recordings, Spotify
Msbarnett is correct. In interpreting a contract a judge will seek to determine the intent of the parties, given all of the information available. Even if the contract language is unambiguous, a court will refuse to enforce it under certain circumstances. For example, if it would be unconscionable to do so. Or if one party was mistaken and the other side knew of the mistake. These are circumstances where one party is clearly unfairly taking advantage of the other, but there are others as well (e.g. mutual mistake).

Automated transactions may have useful applications, but seeking fairness is not one of them.
Absolutely. Although calling their XML document formats "open" is a bit of a laugh. You might get away with calling them "documented", but even that's a bit of a stretch.
A shared object library is supposed to use linker map files during her creation to declare interface versions, so that the run time linker can request and obtain the correct version of the interface. Like all the traditional UNIX operating environments solved it: no need for multiple versions, one library contains all versions and the run time linker maps in the requested code. See how illumos does it. Search for linker map files.
`git clone` will also use hardlinks by default.

--local, -l
When the repository to clone from is on a local machine, this flag
bypasses the normal "Git aware" transport mechanism and clones the
repository by making a copy of HEAD and everything under objects and refs
directories. The files under .git/objects/ directory are hardlinked to
save space when possible.

If the repository is specified as a local path (e.g., /path/to/repo), this
is the default, and --local is essentially a no-op. If the repository is
specified as a URL, then this flag is ignored (and we never use the local
optimizations). Specifying --no-local will override the default when
/path/to/repo is given, using the regular Git transport instead.

I probably lost about $3,500-4,000. Startup was having financial issues, and got last minute funding. People were asking to give up salary for more equity. I was employee #1, and really enjoyed working there, so I took the deal. I truly believed with had a great product, but that's not enough for a company to succeed. Company went out of business 6 months later.

Not a huge financial loss, but I learnt a valuable lesson.
That might all accurately describe what they'd like to achieve, but fortunately we still live in a free market society where there's room for competition (and if there isn't, regulators often step in).

I don't find Google to be the best search experience anymore. It gives me too many ads and partnership deals. I use searx.me and it gives me good old fashioned organic web search with results that are just as good.

Plenty of alternatives exist to their other services as well which only get better every year. I'm now convinced Google has a hard fight ahead of them just to keep what they've already got.

I've been using Mercurial on Solaris 10 since 2006.

The current company I’m at just sold about a month ago for $140mil. I was one of the first engineers (the three of us originals all started at the same time) and started a few months after initial funding was raised. Between my purchased options and non-purchased vested options I made about $130k and have another about $40k in remaining options that are converting over. I was kept on by the acquiring company and given a new company package with about $40k of additional RSUs that vest over 4 years.

FYI, in the US there is the Qualified Small Business Stock exemption, which can significantly reduce the tax owed on the sale of stock of a company that was once small. It can be publicly-traded at the time of sale.

Back when I was a tax lawyer, you could exclude 50% of your gain, though the rules may have changed. Also, if you rolled over your gains into other “qualified small businesses”, you could defer taxation altogether.

> Makes me wonder why they're not funding more large scale research - throw a few billion at carbon sequestration, maybe?

Businesses need to ensure they can make profit before throwing money at huge problems, otherwise they'll just lose money and go out of business. This goes double for problems which have no clear solution. Even if you technically know how to solve a problem, if that technique is not profitable then it's literally not worth solving.

One example: Supersonic Commercial Travel. We have supersonic jets, and we have people who want to travel faster, so why isn't Boeing throwing billions of dollars into supersonic jets? Among other reasons (e.g. they are a nuisance), it's because it's not profitable yet.
It’s a huge mistake to lump all of Apple’s behavior with regard to their stores into one.

They would lose so much money on third party app stores, that this is clearly a fiscal issue for them. You would need a mountain of evidence showing that Apple thinks that’s a moral issue.

Their content stores is another beast. While adult content sells, I suspect that Apple believes they can make more money while remaining squeaky clean. This has obvious benefits when selling to parents, but it also makes Apple seem more refined and upmarket compared to an AppStore full of “hot babe” calendars and similar. This is more of a hunch than the previous argument though.

The interesting exception is their podcast offerings, where they allow for a lot of sexual content. This also bolsters my suspicions that it’s all financial, since I do not believe that Apple makes much money on podcasts, if any at all.
JFK’s Airstrike Speech (2012)
Getting to bare metal would require so much of the vehicles interior to be removed, the chances of doing it without damaging said interior would be next to none, then doing the spot welds depending how close they are to the exterior could affect the paint, which would in turn require repainting, which would in turn require stripping the whole vehicle back to get the whole paint job even [edit: to get a perfect finish on a portion of a repair indistinguishable from the rest of a car is pretty hard]

To to go from "as new" to "Bare metal" to back again would be a logistical nightmare. There'd be so many little things "oops, damaged that plastic piece with a screw driver...binned !". And even if you did manage to get the welds in, you'd probably have to re-schedule a whole bunch of new parts for production, just for that batch.

The cost to pull that off would outweigh a new car - as it would all be skilled automotive labour (remembering you couldn't reverse the robotics that assembled part of the car in the first place).

People would be expecting to buy new cars that would have to be perfect. Even if by some miracle you did pull off getting the cars back to perfect condition, imagine if (when) the new owners found out?

291 would represent x%age of cars for that model year. Just bin them.

Each number key has three letters associated with it. So you hit the numbers that correspond to the letters in the name; presumably the phone would display a list of all the contacts that matched - with the example of typing 666 to get “Mom”, first you’d see every contact whose first letter was M, N, or O, then every contact whose second letter was also on the 6 key, and so on until you were down to one and hit the dial button.
They could pretty easily block the 100 most popular porn sites in Safari if they cared to. This wouldn't be 100% effective, but it would do something if that were their goal.

Restricting people to the app store where they get a cut of all sales is a business choice, not a moral one. They get more money when you can only buy stuff in the way that gives them money.
No. New company’s comp package was underwhelming but they didn’t want to negotiate. I consider it a blessing in disguise to not have handcuffs.

The GPL allows all commercial use. It does not allow proprietary restrictions on redistribution, under certain circumstances, but that's different. You can charge as much money as you want for GPL'd software, and you can base your commercial service on GPL'd software, etc (by the way, this is not just hypothetical -- billions of dollars of commercial activity are based on GPL'd software, including but not limited to the Linux kernel). It's just that when someone receives a copy of GPL'd software from you, you can't place further restrictions on their redistribution -- the permission to redistribute under the GPL comes with the copies. Think of it this way: the GPL prevents monopoly, while permitting commercial use.

I work at an engineering firm (not software), and for performing and presenting manual calculations it it great. You wouldn't write a Python or Julia script or use a Jupyter notebook for any of it. Because I like to code, I've written small programs for more involved calculations in J, C, F#, and my favorite Frink. Frink is great for engineering because it handles different units and systems throughout a calculation. Mathcad is also good for laying out manual calculations. Excel is the engineer's scratchpad. There are just certain things that are just easier to do in Excel, and not everything turns into a problem that needs a programming language. But there are ways of working with Excel from most programming languages aside from VBA.

> IMO, they’re also an Attractive Nuisance, in the legal sense of the term. They encourage people to ride them who are not adequately trained or equipped, by virtue of their stunningly low price and easy availability.

That's...not the legal sense of “attractive nuisance”, which refers to an object on land likely to attract children which makes the landowner legally responsible for injuries by the object to trespassing children so attracted in circumstances in which they otherwise would not be, provided the children are unable to understand the hazard posed.

At best, you are referring to a very loose analogy to the legal sense of the term.

Informix (now dead?) vs. Oracle is another classic example from the past.

Oracles's domination absolutely does not imply its technical superiority, actually popularity is usually a bad thing (hello, Ayn Rand) - Java and junk food are insanely popular.
Even Disney has Marvel with R-rated movies like Deadpool franchise etc.
That sounds a lot like "if my code is bad, I'll find out when it breaks in production, so why test?". Tests allow you to make changes to your ansible configs, then test that the ansible config works correctly before you apply it in production.

I think for many operations automation can be perfect, but other operations are really challenging to automate well today.

However, I do believe if you were to design the vehicle for optimal automated assembly throughout, it could significantly change the situation.

But a design optimized for 100% automated assembly is probably not going to be as servicable. Imagine for example if wiring harnesses were built as rigid modules which were captive within the unibody when it was welded together. This could probably simplify the automated assembly, eliminating a step of snaking a flexible bundle of wires through passages, but then nobody is ever going to be replacing the wiring harness module.

I do think things can be done in the vehicle to improve the automation without compromising servicability, but it might not be economical, or maybe it just requires more control over the entire supply chain to tailor everything to the vehicle's assembly process.
