I appreciate that Ben took the time to read between the lines of what Apple has been saying, to tease out how Apple is thinking about Apple. It's clear that's why he has a successful business.

This article made me stop and think about Apple's future, and to be honest, the future of computing. I think it is clear that in 10 years mobile computing has reached maturity (which is astounding). There is no broad use-case advantage that iOS has over Android (ie, I can communicate on both of them, I can get directions on both, etc).

It seems as if we have reached a valley of sorts, in which the use-cases and potential businesses that can be built on top of a computing platform that is always connected, always with us are mostly tilled ground. Discovering and inventing new ones takes an enormous amount of effort and ingenuity. It would be easy to think that most of the disruption has already happened.

However, what surprises me is that Apple is doubling down on performance. The processing capability of iPhones continues to rise, even when we see that the software that uses that capability has diminishing returns.

My best guess is that Apple is playing the long game, and that they see the investments that they are making in performance will pay off greatly in the coming years, because suddenly our phone will be more powerful than our desktop. And, while it is easy to scoff at that as being unnecessary, I think it actually will begin to unlock new use-cases that will lead us out of the current "valley of diminishing returns."

The obvious candidate here is AR, but I think it actually is broader than that. It is clear that Apple is moving towards a system in which the iPhone is a computational Sun, around which multiple accessories "orbit". I think such a system, taken into consideration along with cloud computing is actually incredibly exciting, and I think (as much as this audience might dislike it) that desktops and laptops truly are the current past.

Mine too, a guy can dream, right? Auburn may be an extreme example, but pick almost any similar college town and you get the same story
I very much appreciate the simplicity of the site, too many similar sites have thumbnails and a lot of extra information that deters from the information of what I really want to see (what the video is about).
Notably, the Catholic church doesn't have a problem with the current scientific theories of the creation of the world. They don't take Gensis literally.

They view the creation story in contrast with other creation stories of the religions of the time. Notably, that there is a single, eternal God directing all things for good rather than a pantheon of gods in conflict.
I have AS as well! Sadly, I have not even researched stem cell treatment so I cannot help with your question. But if I may ask one of my own - what diet have you followed that has helped you with your symptoms. Also, are you taking biological drugs like Humira or Enbrel?

I don't use Thunderbird myself - was just following the discussion on from the OP who did use it. However I've yet to find a client I like so genuinely interested in any suggestions you might have.
You lived in all of these places but apparently it didn’t affect your development. Living in a place doesn’t need mean you let it change or affect you, I’ve lived in Ghana, Canada, various Western European countries and a few states, and the important part has always been being open to the culture of a place, not just being there (at a young enough age you don’t control that, but you don’t have to be that old to become more of a passive observer of your surrounding culture than an active participant)

I say that because you’re just doubling down on my point. Why do FAANG employees come into recruiting an average tech worker? In a sentence... “who needs them?”.

You seem to be in this, again, somewhat conceited, line of thought that the rest of the US combined does so little that the SV microcosm is the average of US tech and to change that you need to include the whole world (foreign nationals).

It screams this “oh what they do doesn’t count” or “you need that stereotypical FAANG guy” mentality that I see so much in trendy tech.

The average recruits don’t have to change to come to places like NC, or really places that aren’t don’t have Sillicon in their name (Sillicon Alley, Sillicon Mountsin, etc. included). All they need is an open mind.

Not the “Open to everyone in my hive mind, everyone else is not even worth communicating with” mind that I’ve seen grow strong in “trendy tech”

The recruits who think they’re being asked to change only think so because of closed minded thoughts almost all of the time.

They become so attached to this idea of an “open monoculture” that anything that isn’t their existing culture is an attack on it instead.

“How dare you try and make it change which monoculture I follow”.

NC would be a terrible place if it worked like SV because everyone would be the people who support the guy want Jews to accept Christ and repel anyone who felt differently and try and change you for not agreeing. That would be a close race, it’d be a won race.

And people who are in that “open monoculture” mindset immediately try and apply their lens to NC and see that.

At the end of the day people are coming to NC, and NC has accepted them. It’s not the place these people would project it as

(Replace NC with literally any “off the beaten path but somewhat up and coming locale that’s not a traditional ultraliberal playground)

I first learned the word hustler in the mid 80s when my soccer coach had a "hustler of the day" award for every game. It went to whoever worked the hardest that day.
They don't "have to" always grow, but stock prices are effectively predictions on future growth. When the prediction changes you see that reflected immediately in the stock price. Of course predictions change all the time and so do stock prices. If your prediction turns out to be more accurate than other predictions you win (assuming you invested some money based on your prediction).
Thanks, I'll have a look!

This looks a bit too high-level to inform my undergraduate teaching, but certainly I could learn something from this.
Your statement doesn't really require fair elections. It just requires that a process accepted by all interested parties exists and is carried out.

You might be able to get away with defining such processes as fair but it wouldn't really align with what most people mean which is representative.
I signed up for something recently and on the password screen it popped up with something along the lines of "Hey, can we generate a secure password for you, don't worry, your browser will remember it for you?" I said yes, sure enough a strong password appeared and Chrome offered to remember it. Seemed like a nice introduction to using secure passwords. The next thing I signed up for I manually generated a secure password and pasted it in and that is now stored in my browser too.
People hold stock because they think it will be worth more in the future. Sustaining would be enough if everyone else is shrinking, but not if there is anywhere else that is growing.
what regulation forces a company to report how much it sells of X? Most regulation requires reporting around revenue, not units.

As the article notes, Apple was unique in reporting unit sales at all.

Sorry but I'm still not really following...where is the leak if it's hashed client-side? And the client will see the plaintext password regardless of whether there is processing or not.

I guess what I'm asking is this: can someone walk me through the attack scenario? I don't really get it.
Please call Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center (w/ Univ of Wash & Seattle Cancer Care Alliance) and arrange a consultation. Just see what's what.

I had an allogeneic bone marrow transplant to cure aplastic anemia. 30+ years ago, before they'd isolated stem cells. While methods and tech have greatly improved since, transplants are still an ass kicking.

One common side effect is graft versus host disease. It really, really sucks.

I've known many other patients. One good friend has had two transplants. Pretty much all of us did it as a last resort.

Ankylosing spondylitis sounds terrible. I can't imagine.

As for diet & nutrition, I've gotten great benefit from following Dr Terry Wahls protocol.

> If you just want reverse-proxying, you can choose between the simplicity of Caddy or the power of Nginx (or Apache). Why would I want to run a JS app (that I know will be less performant) to do that?

The same reason you'd use Caddy over Nginx or Apache, why use the former over the the latter when the latter already exist and are faster? Because someone who knows Go but not C can customize its codebase, just like someone who knows JS but not C or Go can modify Redbird's.

If Node.js is good enough to build and run servers then it's good enough to build reverse proxies.
That is why the definition is recursive. If every failure triggers a new exception all the way up the call stack, then your program fails.
Shouldn't you be making your own argument within a formal logic, to avoid this awful ambiguity that makes it impossible to understand what you're saying or argue with you?

If the point is the marketplace itself, rather than the software, I would start with something that already has marketplace functionality.

I'm sure there are others, but Prestashop has a user-contributed marketplace extension that's relatively cheap, and comes with the source code. Prestashop itself is open source. It's all php, but I'd argue that might be a plus if you're going to iterate quickly on look/feel/functionality.

That way, you could see how well the concept works before investing any time rewriting it to fit your needs.

Also, see Stripe connect as a way to get your "cut" from marketplace sales. It's supported by the module mentioned above: https://stripe.com/connect/use-cases
You and the other people in this discussion are well on the way to reinventing extended attributes, used for exactly this purpose back in the late 1980s and 1990s in OS/2.

Fermi problems are terrible questions when asked about things the questionee has no concept of. The point of a Fermi problem is to make an educated guess, and doing so requires knowledge of the problem space the guess is being made in. Pulling random constraints out of your ass for a domain you do not know does not demonstrate this ability.
Just to note: the dutch railways don't "have difficulty driving on time". 90% of all trains ride on-time on average. And keep in mind that anything more than 2 minutes off-schedule counts. Last time I checked we're in the world top-5 with regards to running on time.

That said: Improvements are always welcome ;-)

I don't know what it's like where you're from, but over here about half the delays seem to be because of people getting stuck in doors, or holding/forcing them open until they break. Ingress/egress control would solve a lot.
I am not exactly sure what the market share is for iPhones, but Android is much larger. For computers, they are a tiny portion. If they cracked 10 percent I would be shocked. That is awesome they are profitable. But yes they do have an insignificant user base for computers. A reasonable but nowhere near dominating position for phones. Apple is always going to be a relatively small player regardless of market cap in the tech world. The last couple decades have proven that
Poor Lance Ng. He has an article with a lot of attention, but it’s this silly piece.

BTW, no one needs to read the article, but if you’re here I guess it’s probably too late.

He’s actually arguing with his six-years-in-the-past self, who thought people wanted lots and lots of pointless shovelware apps. He’s now realized this isn’t the case, but has swung too far the other way and now sees no reason for apps. I think most people realized all along apps weren’t good for everything. That doesn’t mean they aren’t great for some things.

My favorite part is where one of his reasons the end is near is that people only have 100 or so apps on their phone and only use ~30 regularly. Right. Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.
Yeah, so what was the point to begin with?
The version currently available to us through our IT department suffers from the limit. The updates you mention are held back from us because of 2 problems: one of them being a bitlocker lock-out.

The alternative is equality of opportunity. If some people in society want to do some activity knowing they won't build job experience while doing so, let them, even if other people don't want to and become more employable as a result. That's freedom.

Whether e.g. women on average tend to take more parental leave is only a small subset of those sorts of situations in society.

I (a man) took a months-long parental leave fairly recently which surely hurt my job prospects, how could it not? But I chose to do it anyway. Should other men that didn't make that choice be forced to do the same to even things out?
Makes me wonder why we even have a field of sociology. If it refuses to reject scientifically falsified theories then I see no value whatsoever.
>How do you think FB and other popular content consuming apps work nowadays?

Majority of the content on these apps is native and not html/js. They have a small amount of content on the settings screens in html/js but all of the main view code is native. For an app with complex layouts and content like facebook, html/js scroll performance would be far too slow. You can easily verify this by running the application with UIAutomator turned on which will show you the widgets being used on screen.

Native is faster because it's not layout and control agnostic. So you get controls like recyclerview which recycle view elements while scrolling large lists to keep animations smoooth. Sure, you can implement that in javascript too, but the javascript can't beat a native c++ implementation which is also GPU accelerated. This is also the reason why frameworks like React Native and Flutter were born. They use javascript/dart but render all UI content natively which allows them to maintain smooth 60fps animations.

To be honest, I wouldn't like mobile going the html/js way at all. Html/js has moved to desktop with electron and the results aren't that great. They take up huge amounts of memory ( gmail web on chrome takes up 500mb of ram on my machine, also slack is a noteworthy mention). Native desktop apps take up a fraction of that memory. For the sake of accessibility we have significantly sacrificed performance. I can't wait for webassembly to be widely adopted so that the browser can move away from html/js. Google has a nifty tool called ArcWelder which allows android apps to run in chrome. Apple has already announced support for running iOS apps on Mac. Would people really want to use html/js apps if they have native and more performant apps available on their platform?
I'm American but I've lived overseas for nearly a decade, and I hardly ever go back.

In recent years when I meet other Americans who are visiting my city, I often get this vague feeling that they're just trying too hard in one way or another. Maybe they're working too hard, or trying too hard to impress someone, or get attention, or assert themselves. I don't know if I've changed or if America is changed or if it's something else entirely.

What I do wonder is, what's with all these Americans working themselves to the bone? I own an agency which is one of the types of businesses called out in this article. I tell all my employees very clearly, whenever possible, work 40 hours and then call it a week. We also happen to be mostly remote so I tell them, within reason, respecting a small number of important calls/meeting times etc. you can put in those hours whenever you want, preferably after a great night's sleep.

There's nothing like "you're measured by how many hours you bill out," nor does there need to be, if we have more than 40 hours of work per person per week, we hire more people.

Where does this all come from? This is an honest question. Why are people working themselves to death in the US and having this crazy mindset that doing stuff which puts you on the verge of a breakdown is good? When did this start?

Is it good for health/happiness? Definitely not

Is it good for productivity? Maybe, but I doubt it
Actually the spell is „hashtable hashtable stack pop pop push”.
I think an Apple (read integrated, user friendly) solution to internet of things could be more imminent, and interesting.

One of the draw back of the current solution for IoT is connecting different eco systems, such as GE light bulb to Amazon Echo. If apple have a solution that is elegant and 'just works', i'd be interested in that
What was a good definition of philosopher then is not what is a good definition now. Meaning evolves!

I invite you to think historically, and in terms of ongoing differentiation of science: the drive towards formalising/axiomatising mathematics which was started in earnest at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century, has been accelerating. These days mathematics is partly verified in interactive theorem provers like Isabelle/HOL, Coq, Agda and Lean. A Fields medallist (Voevodsky) dedicated his post-Fields career towards more mechanisation of Mathematics. I predict that in 100 years from now, mathematics that is not formalised in a mechanical tool will not be publishable in reputable venues.
Or like the Earpods. I expect they will continue making discrete, targeted bets on wearables and other augmenters, while they keep poking at big ideas like the car.

I really don't see them going the "social" way. Cook does cloud software as well as Steve did (i.e. not very), he'd rather sell physical widgets and be a landlord on the resulting platforms.

I think this post reads too much into "Today at Apple", Apple are just reacting to Google building a similar network of physical locations for outreach and training last year, IMHO.

With the wast majority of the population (using Swedish data) working in industries that is gender segregated, there is plenty of studies asking why student switch program, people switch job, and people switching profession. In that there is an interesting pattern found a rather long time ago, which is that those in minority position has a significant higher ratio of leaving a profession compared to the majority. Equally for both male and female dominated professions.

So I usually look for common explanation for gender segregation that work both for women and men. 87.4% gender segregation for men and 87.6% for women is rather extreme, but it is also quite obvious that either there is a common cause or a massive coincident that both men and women end up working in mostly single gender work places.
Redesigning Cities for the Scooter Era
yes, that was one of the insights of the work. The people working alongside me were post-docs that were still having to put in their time as workers on other people's research projects. Particularly, in the area of experimental high-energy physics, where accelerators were needed to do the work, everyone had to jockey to get time on the accelerator (even nobel laureates like the leader of the project I worked on). It seemed like every experiment was a compromise of different people's goals in order to combine together to get enough collective clout to get access to the accelerator to even do the project. That meant the guys who had already completed PhDs at prestigious schools were still pretty low on the hierarchy (but ten years older than me). The time spent working with those guys definitely influenced my decision not to continue with a PhD...

If those password-URLs are one time use then they are better than a static password. Still, it's likely those are managed via email which makes that a single point of failure.
Yes, but words have no meaning at this stage, because "fairness" means completely different things depending on who you talk to. It's very ambiguous, because the value systems are completely different. For example, you could make a case that "redistributing wealth is fair", yes also claim that "owning the reward of your hard work is fair" and they kind of go against each others.
> Wait – I thought back then (1950s/60s/maybe 70s), "programming" refered to something more akin to data input, i.e., someone designed a program, and the "programmer" entered that program into the computer's memory, using punch cards or whatever

That's exactly right, "programming" was considered secretarial work, and guess what, pretty much all secretaries were women.

Male engagement in programming exploded with the advent of personal computers in the 80s, and female engagement chugged along at the same growth rate as before.
