Is Qualcomm a ruthless monopolist? Yep. But what people forget is that EVERYBODY was knifing one another in that space when CDMA originally came out. The only difference is that Qualcomm is the ruthless monopolist that won.

In addition, while I have no love lost for Qualcomm, what you do have to remember is that CDMA was a "bet the farm" moment. If CDMA could be delivered, it was significantly better than what existed at the time.

However, there was no promise that a power amplifier could be delivered with the specifications demanded by CDMA--Qualcomm bet that they could. Rockwell had a worldwide monopoly on CDMA power amplifiers for years because they were delivering that amp, and the yield was abysmal.

The original Qualcomm stuff was a significant engineering achievement, and, while they probably don't deserve to continue to abuse their position at this point, they certainly deserved some time to profit from their work.

True - was answering the general case of password change, eg. some folks like to rotate passwords every so often in the absence of a known leak or breach.

In the case of a compromised password the entire wallet should be abandoned.
From reading a lot of mailing list and bugzilla posts I get the impression that they do care about Macs but the current (very old) renderer is just never going to play nicely with MacOS without a major overhaul, and that major overhaul is Webrender which has been in development for several years but has yet to land in stable because writing a new renderer is just a really large undertaking. Webrender and planeshift should bring a pretty huge performance and power efficiency improvement when they finally land in stable.

AFAIK Apple designs and manufactures its SOCs but keeps using ARM designed CPUs. Not sure about the GPUs though.

Edit: Protomyth below is correct. Apple licenses the architecture from ARM but designs its custom chips.

The chips themselves are manufactured by TSMC.

A few weeks ago, I was really depressed. I had exactly the same thoughts. I didn’t want to leave my place or meet with friends. After taking magic mushrooms, I feel FAR better. It’s a bit strange to explain but even if I still have these negative thoughts, it’s harder to obsess about them like before. You should also check ketamine treatments if you’re in the US.
I have a feeling the “spare tire” chips are chips they’ve been ripping off from Qualcomm et al, and now they have an excuse to make them. That would explain why he is framing it that they were just for a contingency, they never planned on using them.

They’ve done that many times in the past, but they’re too big to get away with it so easily now.

> and as a result are actually causing many security problems.

That's completely contradictory to what the NIST guidelines state:

> The most notable form of these is composition rules, which require the user to choose passwords constructed using a mix of character types, such as at least one digit, uppercase letter, and symbol. However, analyses of breached password databases reveal that the benefit of such rules is not nearly as significant as initially thought [Policies], although the impact on usability and memorability is severe.
I totally agree.

Every time I start in a new organization, I spend some time to sit down and make a very strong password. The kind of password I would trust my retirement savings to. I'll sit down and dedicate a solid 30 minutes to transforming a bizarre but easy to remember phrase in 20-30 special characters with abbreviations instead of full words. Then I'll spend the time to commit it to muscle memory. I've done this probably 30 times over the past 20 years.

60 days later, maybe I make another new very strong password. 60 days after that, it's 8:15 and my computer is forcing me to update my password and I have an 8:30 meeting and now my password is asdfg;lkjh. 60 days later it's asdfg;lkjh1. And so on.

Password expiration dates are one of those things that just don't work with human beings. It's the "work harder, not smarter" approach to security. Somebody wrote it down once, and now everybody who came along later copied the same bad checklist and added more bad things to it. Instead of working to improve the practical security of their system, they work to adhere to their arbitrary checklist. It only makes sense from the most cynical Dilbert perspective.
The problem isn't that the data is collected, it's that Tesla is the one collecting it and not the owner. But honestly, the average person isn't going to care about or even be capable of maintaining that. So really we could just consider this to be a valuable service Tesla is offering. Even more so, imagine if Tesla had to defend their driving systems from lawsuits without having access to this data. I'm not sure they'd be able to survive as well as they do.

The first appears to be an object oriented language such as Ruby or Javascript.

While Comcast the company is evil, I loved their internet service. It was blazing fast and to this day was the most rock-solid ISP I've had for uptime. YMMV of course but for people in my area Comcast was the best (tho sometimes only) choice. (I did get really tired of playing the stupid intro/promo rate game with them tho).

Once they turned on their 250GB data cap tho it became far less useful since my wife/kids would stream several gigs a day or more of TV.

I bought the first season of RE: Zero on Steam when Steam first started offering streaming services . I think it counted all 25 episodes as distinct purchases. This seems to have made their recommendation algorithm think that I am a very big fan of anime games. So for the next several months, my recommended feed was filled with anime games. A surprising number of them... suggestive.

That said, I'm glad that Steam took a permissive approach to its marketplace in allowing controversial games like Postal and Hatred on its platform. I think saying "fuck it" and allowing porn gives them a decent amount of leeway to keep the rest of their platform permissive.
It really isn't as difficult to get into ketosis and safely maintain it for a reasonable duration as that article suggests.

Plenty of green leafy veg (The more the merrier for most), moderate to slightly higher protein, extra fibre from low carb sources, slightly increased water intake, high-fat, and low-carb (<20 g/day from veg if possible). Unsweetened, low-suger high-fat Yoghurt for breakfast with a few nuts or seeds (+ erythritol and stevia if you want a bit of sweetness). Salads with olive oil and a bit of cheese or meat for lunch. A variety of green-veg-heavy, keto-suitable recipes for a pleasant evening meal (Things like creamy or cheesy sauces are great plus curries can be readily adapted with cauliflower rice, cauliflower pizza is another favourite, and a lot of pasta sauces don't taste too bad with lettuce once you get past the initial disappointment).

It isn't that hard if you are determined and plan your meals/diet whilst considering the sources of your essential nutrients.

Personally I experienced some mild keto-cramps after about two weeks and upped my magnesium intake which cured those quite quickly. Then I started losing weight; I've literally just lost 2 stone (And counting) by following a keto diet.

It isn't as easy as some people make it sound but that doesn't make that article accurate. All of the advice I know about for how to have a healthy keto-diet addresses the exact things that they imply are common problems/dangers of keto.

My advice to anyone considering keto would be to read the studies for yourself (If I remember right several good-quality studies are freely available through google scholar) and follow some of the well-known keto-blogs' advice on having a balanced keto diet so that your general nutrition is kept well balanced.

Keto does work for weightloss but it does still take moderation, thought, and will-power. It isn't magic but it is far from impossible.
There are limited numbers of licenses granted in Canada, awarded by lottery I am told. When some big companies set a bad trend via race to the bottom, many who would like to do better are prohibited from growing due to the licenses issue.

The way legalization happened here is incompetent. There are even output limits: for one friends little grow op, where he is not allowed to overproduce.
"Washington Bullets" isn't about Washington state either, which seems like a thing he'd be likely to know, so maybe he wasn't trying to be that strict.

That's a good question. Yes, margins are low for most phones, most of the time. And cheaper modem chipsets would help with that. But if everyone had cheaper chipsets... then the phones would be a little cheaper. But I don't think that would have changed the competitive landscape at that time.

There was a fundamental change in phone capability and interaction that really shifted the market, and made new winners and losers.

The deterrence effect is a function of both the severity of the punishment and its certainty. And while the punishment for driving drunk is already substantial (maybe even too high), the risk of getting caught is not that large. An effective (but maybe not efficient) crack-down would therefore aim to increase the risk of getting caught and punished.

This represents the sad state of Internet we are all living through. I have noticed that when I turn on privacy settings on Firefox, some major websites are broken and rendered unusable.

It should be entirely unfeasible if its good crypto

In order to deepfake it, a neural net would have to understand the crypto algo in such a way it could modify its deepfake input to collide with the original input's hash. Basically it would need to reverse the crypto to generate all frames that evaluate to a certain hash, and then find one that is mostly similar to the intended input.

I don't think it will be realistic at all, if even theoretically possible.

No. Black people can't own slaves. They aren't going to get to profit off centuries of colonial oppression. They aren't going to get to be the only enfranchised people in the country.

They won't even get to enjoy the comfortable middle class lifestyle that persisted until the late 20th century.

After reading about it particularly "Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry", I think guardiangod is correct, but also Verizon and, to a much lesser extent, the whole stock dating scandal. If Verizon hadn't been so gun-ho for an iPhone killer, Blackberry would probably of got to something like the Passport a whole lot faster. They needed to stay in their lane for a bit longer. Their market cap actually hit its max a year after the iPhone.

I wouldn't call RIM / Blackberry a meteroic rise. They start in the mid 90's and built up the products in a pretty smart way with each following the next until the total shift of the Storm.

But none of those things are a monopoly. A GE oven that only cooks GE food isn’t a monopoly, it’s just a shitty oven.

Plus, monopolies aren’t illegal, using them anti-competitively is. So the analogy would be GE buying or putting out of business all the other oven makers, then saying you can only cook GE food in a GE oven.

Generally speaking, no.

Sometimes in the base stations, you'll find FPGA and such, which are super expensive.

The even bigger issue is that you're implementing the other side of the over-the-air protocol, and a whole bunch more stuff too (signaling in the carrier's network). Whereas the modem in a phone is designed to talk to just a single system.

Also, the protocols are designed to be asymmetric. The cell station is fixed, but has relatively unlimited size and power constraints compared to the phone. They also have to talk to multiple phones simultaneously, and manage their access to the network.
Ironically enough, I remember Ren Zhengfei being referred to as “China’s Donald Trump” long before Trump was elected president, maybe in 2014 or 2013 (a coworker mentioned it to me over lunch)? I think he got this title by being outlandishly outspoken and overly patriotic.
