Apple made "just computers" before 2008.

Apple makes digitally enabled products that makes sense financially and is compatible with the brand. That's it. Everything is a digitally enabled product nowadays.

So the question is not what Apple is selling now, but what is compatible with their brand. They have the warchest to enter any market they wish.

Not really/depends. Florida has the Public Records Act (which is why we have "Florida man" and "Florida woman" headlines) so there the police's crash report is public, but if your car hits another car on a backroad in any other state, more often than not only the two drivers, their insurance, and the police know about the event.

it's pretty rare to see non-Google sites which only work in Chrome.

Unfortunately that hasn't been my experience in recent months. A noticeable number of random sites I come across, sometimes including quite important ones, Just Don't Work in Firefox.

Is there a quick way to send a link to such sites/pages, if someone at Mozilla is interested in investigating why?

I think it's important to note that this behaviour isn't necessarily due to anything wrong with Firefox. It could simply be because Firefox is better at blocking unwanted content than certain other browsers and that feature is working as intended, but the kinds of sites that rely on hostile content also tend to break if those scripts are forcibly blocked by the browser.

"Omit head and body tags, & type attributes to reduce filesize..."

I'm pretty sure you could remove all the head and body tags from the entire internet and it would still make less of a performance impact than if every WordPress blog stopped using Google fonts.
Wouldn't think so, although I live in Germany so YMMV on that question.

Around here there would be a public record of an accidents location if it was big enough to bother waiting for the police, although the public portion of that would not be tied to my name or license plate. Announcements (by authorities) on larger accidents mostly contain maybe an age, gender, and generic vehicle information. Other than that only the two insurances involved would get more data.

The only thing I could think of that made more information public might be lawsuits that could occasionally result from an accident but I'm not sure on how public those currently are. Our news around here usually refrain from naming people in reporting anyway if it's not too relevant or it's a public person anyway.
Authorities already have legal methods for accessing data that you otherwise own. That seems sufficient.

Corporations, on the other hand, have no such need.

It’s trickier with their products though since their main market is academic, but there may will be “enterprise” features that can be added to make it worthwhile for a University to buy licenses and individuals to not have to. It’s a great piece of technology I wish I had been able to play with starting as a child along side BASIC.
If this is such a net good then why does the entire system have to be concealed from users via layers of legal obfuscation?

If it's all in the service of public good, then sure I'm in. But if it is, why is it carefully designed such that at any moment the collectors can productize it? And if I'm a contributor to the data why don't _I_ get any rights to the output?

It's one thing to say, "I observed your public outputs and drew a conclusion and you have no business about that conclusion." I can get behind that, to some extent. But it's another entirely too weave the fabric of your data collection into every device I interact with and use it to monetize my life. It's an insult on top of injury to suggest that I'm not allowed to know about the collection you're using objects I own to execute upon.

Why do you think so little of your own agency?
There is a sort of skill in play here.

At times in my life, I used headphones a lot. Open office type scenarios definitely remain one of those times. I am in one, but it's low population. None of us care, and one of us likes to drop some music. It's reasonable, so we all get along on that, but I digress.

There is a skill or some kind of adaptation to noise. I got it raising the kids.

Prior to them, I had trouble focusing with noise. About the middle of that journey, I became able to watch a TV program, for example, on moderate volume, with all of them getting after whatever it was.

Dad... Dad... DAD!!!

Huh?

:D

I can still do it, and can do it when I want, focusing on whatever I want. Can be in a noise filled room, and focus on a conversation nearly buried in the noise. Can be writing code, or drawing models with the world crashing around.

Or, I can give all that focus, and then it's distracting, but maybe in a good way, as in maybe I should be aware of what is this noise and why it's noisy.

Now I notice today people raising kids, they have screens, headphones, etc... We did not have that, and had a small house.

Perhaps adaptations go the other way too! Extreme noise sensitivity?

There should be another piece, "What happens when you always hear your kids?"

I don't know about integration testing, but it seems like that problem necessarily means important lower level tests are missing. Something like having a bunch of nested switch statements where some cases were left unhandled.

In that context, are integration tests checked automatically the same way, say, Rust would error out on unhandled cases? Or is this left up to developer (who I assume is always writing this stuff at the last possible moment with the least possible focus)?
Omitting tags is something we can get used to, but just by looking at the spec I'm kinda scratching my head.

Eg. why can't the closing tag for title be omitted? Tags are not allowed inside it.

I guess it's because you should be able to type tags as the title, but having to think about stuff like that makes ommiting more of a hassle than it's worth to me.

And what if templates are used and put together? Then you suddenly need to know how every combination of templates is going to be in the future to avoid unintended side effects.

> The sun is the only reason anyone thinks a sustained, controlled fusion reaction is possible

No, it isn't. We think it's possible because we have extensive experimental data on fusion reactions from Earthbound experiments. From those experiments we know a wide range of possible conditions that can produce sustained, controlled fusion. The conditions inside the Sun are only a very narrow part of that range.

> You've basically invented something that can make gigawatts of energy appear in a small volume.

You do realize that any power plant that is making gigawatts of energy has the same amount of fuel energy content inside it as a fusion reactor, right? A coal plant that is making a gigawatt of energy has a ton or so of TNT's worth of fuel energy inside it at any given time, just like a fusion reactor. There is no difference between them in terms of weapon potential. It's true that the amount of fusion fuel needed to make a ton or so of TNT's worth of energy occupies a much smaller volume than the amount of coal or oil or natural gas needed to make that amount of energy, but so what? It's the energy content that matters, not the volume.

> Imagine you could build a NIF type device that actually was sustainable, and you could fit into a truck.

That means you're building a laser capable of short pulses of gigawatts of power that can fit into a truck. If you can build that, you don't need to include a pellet of fusion fuel with it to make it a weapon.

Also, nobody is talking about building gigawatt fusion reactors that can fit into trucks. They're large facilities, just like other power plants.

> being able to direct the energy of some fraction of a ton of TNT worth of energy at things you don't like

We already have weapons that can do this, and are much cheaper than building a fusion reactor with a hole in the side of it would be. They're called missiles.

I'm far from convinced Tesla actually needed so much robotics. Relying on robots so much might actually have been a strategic mistake due to their inexperience. It looks to me like this bet has still to pay off.

Nevertheless, Apple knowledge goes a lot further than supply chain optimization. They are actually quite good at manufacturing (both manual assembly and robotics).

They know how to design products optimized for large volume production. They know how to work effectively with third parties. They know how to do quality control which is extremely important for a system integrator. Apple is not a pure software company: they already have a manufacturing culture in place inside the company.

What they don't have is domain specific knowledge so if they really wanted to enter the transport market, I guess buying Tesla could make sense.

> That being said, I don't believe it's as important, just that some kind of a comparison can be made..

"Some kind of comparison" can be made between literally any two things; that is not in dispute. When I say "they cannot be compared" I don't mean that they are literally incomparable, I mean that the comparison is wildly inapt because the two things are so fundamentally different in terms of value, scale and necessity.

> FB and a few other websites are the new public square and are a major driver of social trends.

FB is not a public square, it's a publishing platform exclusively owned and funded by a corporation. Just because Facebook is popular doesn't mean it's a public square. Don't misunderstand, I definitely believe that Facebook needs to be regulated (primarily around privacy, tracking, and user-data rights), but not on the basis that people need to use or are entitled to use Facebook; this is demonstrably false. If you were to shut down the electrical grid tomorrow, hundreds of thousands would be dead within 24 hours, if you were to shut off Facebook tomorrow, it would be a moderate inconvenience to a lot of people but everyone would survive and most would move on within a month.

> a major driver of social trend

So is HBO; just because a company wields powerful social influence doesn't mean we need to regulate their platform.

> Curation of this platform could be what kills them, if some people realise they can only speak corporate-friendly speech.

So let them die? Facebook is a business and if they make bad business decisions they should feel the consequences. What's the problem?
I don't know if there is a definition of honest accounting that I should be aware of. I assume the numbers are reasonably correct, but ascribing 31m to google's lobbying effort against the copyright directive is more than dishonest. It is incorrectly quoting UK Music, which did the dishonest accounting.

For example, 1.75m from Konrad Adenauer-Stiftung, which is a think tank closely related to the party of the rapporteur responsible for the copyright directive. If they were engaged in lobbying related to the copyright directive, they most certainly would not align with google's interests. If you take a look at the transparency register (http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation...), you'll find that almost their entire budget for the declared activities comes from two german federal agencies.
I work for one of those companies, and yes, I do think they should bear part of the blame.

Look at the large tech companies of the past - IBM, DEC, Sun. They had many buildings in many cities all across the country. HQ would be bigger, sometimes there'd be notable clusters of buildings in one area (e.g. Littleton or Marlboro for DEC). Often a certain building/region would have a particular technology or product focus. The thing is, it worked and it even worked even before we had modern communications technology. The reasons those companies declined had nothing to do with the efficiency of their physical work environment.

Google and Facebook and Amazon could do the same thing. Yes, they all have offices elsewhere, often in the same few places (e.g. Boston). But they're still massively overconcentrated in Mountain View, Menlo Park, and one particular part of Seattle. They all literally have money to burn, so they don't care, but it has all kinds of negative effects both on their own workers and on the general economy throughout the area.

It's just inefficient. It's a waste of everybody's money and energy. And that's before we even get into the issue of letting people work remotely. ;)
What does "functional" mean to you? If "OO" has a hundred different meanings, then "functional" must have at least a thousand. To me, JavaScript is definitely not functional - it lacks a notion of purity, and its meaning is the evaluation of statements, not the construction of expressions.
As a business you need a way to engage with potential or existing customers. Yesterday that "way" was to pay newspapers, the Yellow Pages, etc to place ads. Then it moved to banner ads on various websites and today they use Facebook and Google (and other publishers/communities where people gather).

If both Facebook and Google were to disappear business would just use whatever replaces them. The companies aren't essential. The service they provide is. The good news is that service can be provided by basically any business. It's just a problem concentration/monopoly that they're the current focus.
The device itself has enough processing power to detect the wake word, everything you say after that goes to their datacenter to be processed.
Indeed. Berating people is the worst form of advocacy.

Advocates of LISP and Smalltalk need to come up with reasons why their languages have not won the adoption wars that aren't "everyone else is an idiot" or "if only we told them the gospel they would convert".

(In fact, in some ways they've almost overwhelmingly won, it's just that those two particular languages didn't. The bulk of code today is written in the late-binding language Javascript, with its novel prototypical inheritance that enables run time patching. Lots of data is stored in JSON, which is a marginal improvement over S-expressions. Apple have people undramatically writing Objective-C, the Smalltalk inheritor. Perhaps the problem is not that they didn't win but that they aren't being hailed as heroes?)

Any changes to a city are going to occur over the timespan of decades. Any company that comes into a city that can't support them now is doing their employees (and company) a disservice.

And why has Google done nothing in response to that then? The city has gotten accustomed to Google always being there, no matter what the city does. It's up to Google to fix that for the sake of their employees.
