You seem to be suggesting that there's no way to make genetic alterations to humans that would be a net gain. I would strongly disagree with this statement, because I do not believe that the current state of humanity is the global optimum a balance of traits I care about - or even close.
Just a simple thanks for this, signed up my new domain with them and will be transferring my others soon. I was out of touch.
I've heard that the Playbook was actually in development before Apple's iPad was announced, and after that it got rushed out. I don't remember where I read this (it was a couple of years ago), so I don't know how accurate that is.
I think it comes down to how narrow you want to define the market. And even if it is a monopoly, that doesn't mean anything by itself. Monopolies aren't illegal.
"In recent years, Samsung has often shipped smartphones with its own Exynos chips in some markets, while selling Qualcomm chips in others—particularly the United States and China. It's not clear exactly why it does this, but a reasonable guess is that Samsung believes that it's more vulnerable to Qualcomm's patent threats in those countries."

Qualcomm originally had the patents for CDMA (as opposed to GSM) which has a lot of presence in the US and in China but not most of the rest of the world.

In years when Apple used both Qualcomm and Intel chips, the Qualcomm chips were for Verizon and Sprint which were CDMA networks before LTE and the Intel chips went to AT&T and T-Mobile which both use GSM.
I go one step further and uninstall all their other browsers so that they have no choice.

Career, ego, "conventional wisdom", riot mentality, etc.

All those aside, it's naive to think the BBC doesn't track ratings, do market research, etc. They might not have a traditional purely financial bottomline but they still have a bottomline, as well as someone to report to about results, etc.
I'm not sure if you're aware, but "you must open your markets to our companies" is basically how a lot of colonialism and imperialism unfolded in China in the early 20th century.
2019 Diabetes Association Guidelines were changed to add low-carb, which is the only diet of those recommended to have shown any benefit in a controlled study. Linking to one of the first search results below. I happen to follow low carb down under and a few other resources that tend to show more data, etc. US and EU healthcare guidelines are dragging, mostly out of funding sources (big agriculture companies)

One difference is there is a hella lot more engineers that know how to design and tape out digital designs than mixed signal RF ones. Qualcomm and a few other companies employ most of them.
There's an article floating around about Ethereum private keys, where people use "0x[...]0000" or "0x[...]0314" or what have you. You can check the corresponding public addresses on Etherscan and see funds being systematically siphoned out by the same few accounts.
Experts who study the topic make pretty clear that this is a problem. That you, an anonymous person on the internet, believe otherwise, is not much in the way of evidence.

It's also ridiculous that you conflate the 1992 riots (which were a spontaneous reaction to police violence) with the sort of things that Nazis would like to get up to. It's even more ridiculous that you ignore things like the Charlottesville car attack, the Isla Vista killings, or the Christchurch mosque shootings, all of which were by ideologues radicalized on the Internet. Ridiculous and telling.
I think it's crazy how everyone has such different experiences with Firefox on Mac.

I want to love it, but even after a fresh install of MacOS every time I go to use it on my 2015 MBP it grinds to a halt.

I'm sticking to ungoogled-chromium for now. I really hope it's resolved down the line!
I've switched from Chrome to Brave.. It's fast, clean, "seems" more minimalist, it's got good default privacy features (blocks tracking and stuff), It's based on Chromium and you can use all your Chrome extensions etc. The only thing I had to do to make sure I stuck with it was delete Chrome so I don't accidentally out of habit or muscle memory start Chrome.. it's worked beautifully and it's the best browser I've ever used I think. (bonus: they also have a cool way that you can pay your favorite websites - it's not super now because it's mostly crypto currency but soon if you can subscribe via credit card that would be nice).
The link you cited from nhtsa.dot.gov actually said it was 29% of fatalities, and that was only for BAC of 0.08 or higher. I'm not sure it's tracked anywhere, but I'd be surprised if there weren't a lot more where the BAC didn't rise to that level, but was still a factor. I agree that steeper penalties may not help though.
I will say I love firefox containers, they are surprisingly simple to set and forget and have it "just work".

My least favorite parts of firefox (switched last weekend) are:

Dark mode. Dark Reader from Chrome is dead slow on Firefox, and none of the 5 others I've tried from Reddit/HN recommendations come close to its usability on Chrome.

Extension / config syncing. I want the same settings and extensions on my mobile device as my desktop, but it seems like only some configuration settings are able to sync, and add-ons/extensions don't sync between mobile and desktop. I know it's on purpose, but I'd like the option to choose.

QCOM doesn't have a monopoly in the baseband market either, yet Koh's court found QCOM's monopoly there. The FTC simply redefined a market where QCOM had a dominant marketshare -- the "premium" modem market (LTE) -- for Koh to come to that ruling.

So I guess if someone can prove AAPL's dominance in "premium" PC, education, or some niche subgroup in PC market, it too can be in trouble.
I’m sure you’ll be fine, eventually - but that’s not guaranteed to stop them initially, or without a digital search of your entire computer, for example.

At least one extension maintainer (yappy, a pushbullet alternative) says that they are unable to sign their extension because of the 3rd party library they use, so while they have both firefox and chrome extensions, only the chrome one works.

Are they are biting the hand that feeds them? Interesting relationship with Google - they get revenue from them, but are a competitor with conflicting ideals.

I'd like to see Firefox premium services (like a dropbox clone etc.) to provide independent revenue, so they can be aggressive for privacy.
I appreciate your honesty. I can also sometimes hate people, I think that like any other resource, once you have too much of “people” it loses its value.

I don’t believe we are some sacred animal. It feels like many of us, myself included, will just be a net negative to the planet. We are born, we pollute and destroy then we multiply.

Not giving advice, just stating a fact, but it was in nature that I found a spiritual connection and a slight purpose. Sure if I was a genius and could contribute major scientific discoveries, purpose would be forthcoming.

I feel like this article misses the point when it describes the lack of content creator/viewer interest as not being a market leader. The rhetoric from the gaming content creator YouTube community is that the money for twitch is just flat superior to whatever you could make on YouTube in the current market, and they can collect what they can by dumping the VOD's on YouTube. I didn't see any evidence that YouTube Gaming did anything to fix that or any of the other problems that seems to be plaguing the individual/small group content creators when it comes to Content ID, mature video tagging, or probably some things I am forgetting.

I think if the YouTube Gaming property did more to separate itself identity-wise from YouTube (even if it was just YouTube under the hood) it would have stood more of a chance. Maybe it was a good test pool for live streams, chat, and that sort of thing but it felt like those things were already started (a search indicates it was kicked off YouTube Live in 2011 where YouTube Gaming started in 2015).
Just to clarify: that isn't 7% per year. That's 7% per decade.

To make it clearer what I'm saying, my parents bought their house in South Carolina in June of 2009 for about $130,000. Last month it went at just north of $195,000. If you had done exactly the same thing in Seattle and were subject to the median growth in housing prices that home would have sold last month for $205,000.

It's not chump change, but it isn't a night-and-day difference either. What I think it underscores is the difference between the actual problem we face (homes here are expensive) and the symptom we expect to see from theory (demand has skyrocketed -> home prices are skyrocketing). Because we don't see the symptom predicted by theory, I have to question whether the remedy the theory calls for is appropriate.

Mozilla will gladly protect you from other entities, but they are not user freedom respecting enough to realize that they should also not require you to submit yourself to them. My argument is that allowing users to "opt out" from tracking is insufficient, and I will argue against it whenever possible.. You should be asked and informed before ANY DATA IS SENT to them, not just informed that it is already happening and then asked if you want to keep it on.

I wish... patent reform on extension patents in particular in addition to a dual sourcing requirement from the FDA would let a more natural market take care of a lot of what's wrong with medications.

That's great to hear. I keep Firefox installed on MBP for dev testing and each time do the update and see if it's worth changing too. Hopefully, the answer will be yes once Webrender arrives and smooth Mac like scrolling.

It has come a long way, and I want to like it, just really hard in its current form.
Recent progress in Firefox contrasts very strongly with Chrome. I know I'm very happy to be a FF user right now.
This is interesting. I wrote a Python library a while ago that exploits Braille characters:

It increases the entropy for the JavaScript tests as would be expected. It shouldn't affect the HTTP_ACCEPT header.

Just because Apple has changed their mind doesn't mean he was wrong? I know multiple people who won't upgrade past the iPhone SE because it is better for them. One of them has pointed out that Apple used to market iPhones as "the perfect size for your hand"---they don't say that anymore.
the mechanism that generates heat is reversible, that's how we got fossil fuels to begin with (hydrocarbon storage). if you think converting heat flux into electrical or mechanical energy doesn't reduce the total heat flux of the system then it's a perpetual motion engine? you get more energy out than you put in? think it through.

it's powered by a heat differential, you are draining the heat from the system and storing it or dissipating it under motion - reducing the overall flux - over time by cooling the hot side and heating the cool side eventually some equilibrium is reached, depending on how efficient the throughput is and how much heat you have, you then exhaust your temperature gradient and need to move somewhere hotter or colder.

one of us is very confused here. i claim "you can reduce heat locally in the earth system", and give examples: capturing and insulating it (trees, plants), converting it into other types of energy (genetically modified sea sponge/robots), as well as venting it into space through an atmospheric/orbital seebeck ring.

im not breaking any laws of thermodynamics, i am turning the planet into a refrigerator.

edit: to clarify i am claiming it's possible to move heat away from the habitable thin boundary layer by conversion: storage, mechanical use or venting.
I already use Firefox on the iPhone. I think it’s better than Chrome. Probably gonna switch on the desktop.

I don't think Qualcomm strangled RIM with their 3.4% (peak!) licensing fee on the selling price of the phone. If RIMs profit margin was 3.5% they had bigger problems.

Here is the thing. If Apple sold a 2G network based iPhone with a non Qualcomm IP modem, and a 4G iPhone at 2x the price with a Qualcomm modem, which one would make more money for Apple?

I’m not sure if this spare tire is as potent as he is saying it is. His analog of nuclear weapons are his spare tires(home grown microchips). I’m not sure if it even makes sense given if they had it, they would save costs to use their own. On the other hand, if using their own chip means they can cause more security back doors, then that could be right, but it still doesn’t make sense.

If I want to sell an app to users on iOS, and those users want my app, there's no way for them to get it without Apple. That's a vertical market monopoly. And even if it doesn't qualify as a monopoly in your mind, it can still run afoul of anti-trust law.

Lots of interesting discussion here about billions of files and what not. I don't really work with big data -- the largest amounts of data I work with are in the range of tens of millions at most, and my modest "ETL" is about reading from APIs and cleaning up incoming data into consistent schemas, refining data (e.g. geocoding addresses, or correlating against public demographic records/statistics), a process that is super fast and doesn't even require multiple nodes for the most part -- so I never encounter anything I can't solve with some Postgres or Redis. What I'd love to know is what everyone is actually doing with their huge clusters. I can understand the need for big data in hard sciences (CERN, or genetics, or similar), and of course machine learning (e.g. image feature extraction), and then there are real time auction use cases like ad servers that probably have some big data component. What else are people doing out there?
Yes, LSMT is a good example of pushing the idea of a hybrid append log and in memory data structure further.

However, LSMT is for relatively smaller data set, i.e. ordered key-value. It has worse write amplification than a simple append log. The level-0 memtable flushed to the write-ahead-log counts as one write. Writing to the level-1 sorted files counts as 2nd write. Merging the sorted files counts as 3rd write. There're 2~3 writes per change.

Also it doesn't offer help to address the frequent update block problem. All versions of a data change are written to disk. A merge is needed to get rid of the old versions.

But it has a number of good implementation ideas that can be borrowed.

Inverted yield curve, corporate profit margins starting to shrink, cost of hiring going up due to wages hitting rock bottom, and the likelihood of a quick resolution to the trade war becoming less and less likely.

On the flip side, housing prices look strong (though that might have more to do with undersupply than strong demand) and consumer confidence is still high. If one or both of these start dropping, that would be an even bigger indicator that we are close to recession.

I go to UIUC (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign). The engineering startup scene is very active in Champaign and Chicago. ACM@UIUC hosts the largest student-ran tech convention in the Midwest (Reflections Projections), and it is a very nice place to recruit for talent. Having grown up near STL, I don't think the startup scene there is nearly as large. I'd recommend basing yourself around Chicago and recruiting from UIUC if you are looking for new employees.
