I wonder what if he would mention anything about 5G in the book. As far as I understand, all the fuss US making against Huawei is actually due to its (future) crippling of its eavesdropping capability. Not that 5G is a panacea for that but Huawei is augmenting their equipments against such attacks, and they will be the main supplier.
That's like saying that you insist on using the Windows XP image that came with your laptop forever and will only update through the vendor rather than just installing the latest Ubuntu image.

We really need to stop giving a fuck about manufacturer images and demand that the industry ceases to lock bootloaders so we don't have to wait on them to update anything.

I'd go beyond "bizarre" and "strange" and say that this article is just bad.

---

(From here, I'm responding to the article via your points. This is not directed at you.)

* The Frogger demo was weird and out-of-touch

I can't argue with this on its own, but it was like 2 minutes out of a 2-hour presentation. Get over yourself.

Also, it was being demoed by the company that made it, not Apple directly. Apple invited the company, and they chose to make this demo. (I'm sure Apple had input on the demo, but it's not like they'd say "No, don't show the primary mechanics of the game because it won't be exciting.")

* "It feels a little obscene to gather to worship a $1,000 phone"

So why did you go? Surely you knew this was the intent from the beginning.

* Apple execs tout that new iPads are made with 100% recycled aluminum, whereas Microsoft and Amazon employees are staging climate change walkouts

But that's the employees, not the companies. The employees of Microsoft and Amazon are walking out because their companies are doing almost nothing. While recycled aluminum isn't exactly a Holy Grail of environmental sustainability, it's certainly a positive step and something we should expect wherever we can get it, so it seems reasonable for Apple to highlight this.

Also, 100% of Apple's "offices, retail locations, and data centers run on 100% renewable energy", and they've reduced their carbon footprint by some 35% since 2015 [0]. It seems absurd to be upset at them over this, of all things.

* The event seemed "eerily calm", like a "super chill birthday party" (what?)

Because it wasn't full of HYPE, they should cease doing keynotes in the future? If you're not into it... just don't go or watch. Wait for the tech specs to drop after the event. Not hard.

* The keynotes used to just appeal to white, middle-aged men, but now they have more women and POC featured

The horror!

* And, finally: "The company’s flagship product — the iPhone — no longer feels like a piece of the future dropped from into the hands of mere mortals. It feels like, well, a phone, a commodity. And so the whole thing seems gratuitous."

It's almost like — gasp! — it's not possible to create "pieces of the future" on a yearly basis.

Don't get me wrong: Apple is not without flaws. (For a recent example, see their handling of the whole Uyghur issue. That was awful.)

But these are such minor points that can easily be alleviated by the author of the article simply not going. If you're not into it, don't go! Apple can do whatever they want, and other people can pay attention (or not!) as they wish. But trying to say "Hey, I didn't your event so I think you should stop having it" is just dumb.
iOS, for sure. Although the market share is smaller, I like that the quality control is much stricter.

Someone will always beat the market, because that's what we're looking for.

I think it was on "Thinking Fast and Slow" that I read it's pointless to analyze the stock market winners, since it's a random process. Imagine there are 30 million entities that own stocks in the US - individual, companies, funds, etc... If on a given year half of them did better than average (with some rounding liberty):

1st year: 15M better than average
2nd year: 7.5M better than average
3: 3.25M
4: 1.6M
5: 800k
6: 400k
7: 200k
8: 100k
9: 50k
10: 25k

And so on... after 20 years, probably 25 traders will have beaten the market for 20 years straight. Next year, same thing, 25 traders will have beaten the market, and so on. In the US, there's always someone who has beaten the market over the last few decades - there's nothing special about them. Randomly picking stocks would give you the same end result. But since we're storytellers, we build an explanation and go with it.

What Is Different About 5G?
Your sob story has a number of holes:

1. An employee working, in your words, "a few hours a week" has literally nothing to do with an Uber driver working full time.

2. As a society, do we need more cable-coiling jobs? I don't think we do. With respect to your experience, there are a lot of people in the music industry (and most industries) willing to mentor people without also expecting them to do menial labor for minimum wage. You're not being benevolent or providing some integral service to the community.

3. There are a large variety of services which make it easy to hire an employee, which cost a small fraction of what the employee is going to cost. If you actually wanted to do what you say you want to do, I'm sure you could figure out how to do it.

I think most people who like the SE have small hands, and I don't know why apple would dismiss that market. I have finger sausages so I appreciate the bigger screen and keyboard. I think apple thinks in terms of sheer profit and don't care about people with small hands and small pockets. Little do they know the small hands will pay a premium as well to have an Apple so even that doesn't really make any sense except to bean counters in cubes.
Reading this makes me feel very lucky to have grown up in California, which allowed me to reap the in-state tuition benefits of a top university (UC Berkeley). I think it was ~$15k while I was there.
The reason they don't have a choice is because the system is designed to provide the lowest quality of living possible because we haven't done basic things like raised minimum wage with inflation or institute universal health care.

Instead we've subsidized all these gig corporations so frequently that one of the biggest ones pays 0 in federal taxes. Something I don't even get the choice to do.

It's about time we stop capitulating to desperation.
Would Airbnb even be under scrutiny with regards to this bill? Airbnb is a marketplace, where the hosts can set their own rates, with minimal intervention from the platform. This is not the case with Uber/Lyft though.

> The US public does not want this

That's far from clear. Polling fairly consistently shows that the US public favors at least some degree of it (particularly shifting the healthcare burden from employers to government, other benefits have less political salience), though any particular plan for the detailed mechanism may have trouble gaining majority support.
Britain is no island of stability either.
Overdraft fees caused by fraud will probably be reversed. I have never heard of it not happening -- it would be a terrible PR for a bank that allowed for it. It will simply take time.

You are being disingenuous. Why don't you look at government-run programs in the actual sector we are discussing?

Medicare and VA healthcare programs are both well-run and immensely popular among their recipients. They aren't without problems, but looking at them objectively should dispel any notion that "the government cannot run healthcare efficiently and effectively."

Your already-flawed logic leaves out the fact that single-payer and other universal healthcare systems run by governments around the world work far better than the US system and don’t make the choice of who gets what care when to who has the most money like the US does but rather who has the most need given the resources available.

I mostly agree with you. But Apple almost never invents new things. They just greatly improve existing things. There were smart watches before the Apple Watch. There were smartphones before the iPhone. There were MP3 players before the iPod.

Just because AR exists and isn't widely used today isn't really proof that there's no potential there.

MWI provides a clear, comprehensive explanation for all of the “weird” quantum phenomenon. Beyond that, this quote from FoR [1] convinced me:

“To those who still cling to a single-universe world-view, I issue this challenge: explain how Shor’s algorithm works. I do not merely mean predict that it will work, which is merely a matter of solving a few uncontroversial equations. I mean provide an explanation. When Shor’s algorithm has factorized a number, using 10^500 or so times the computational resources than can be seen to be present, where was the number factorized? There are only about 10^80 atoms in the entire visible universe, an utterly minuscule number compared with 10^500. So if the visible universe were the extent of physical reality, physical reality would not even remotely contain the resources required to factorize such a large number. Who did factorize it, then? How, and where, was the computation performed?”

This is the right way to think about it. EVs are a transitional technology. They allow us to maintain the current lifestyle choices while simultaneously empowering the reduction of reliance on fossil fuels. One can make no further statements without venturing into speculation on potential "best" futures that many find objectionable.

I'd personally like to see a future in which housing in cities is much denser, public transportation much better and private automobiles are considered a nuisance to be born by the relatively few who need them. But, even though most people consider that an extreme position, there are a lot of ideas that are commonplace today that were previously considered extreme.
- sovereign governments (which fund many government projects) can literally create money; individuals cannot

- government projects often have multi-year funding commitments legally bound by legislation; virtually no private enterprises have such guaranteed runways

- goals of government projects are often not "survive then maximize profit at all costs"; in fact, the idea behind infrastructure projects is for extreme long term payoffs, virtually impossible for from-scratch private projects due to lack of capital whereas .gov projects don't have the survival component

- because of things like infrastructure and overhead, there is evidence that public utilities with monopoly-like properties make more sense than rampant theoretical capitalism (imagine 100 sewer companies with 100 sets of pipes, ...)
Learning about the world means getting out of one's bedroom (or cave, for that matter) and gain first-hand experience. No need to travel far. There's a world of difference between reading about grass and laying in an open field under the sun (or in the rain). In fact most if not all sensory stimulations cannot be experienced any other way than by direct, actual experience. Then they can be recalled via words, but not lived for the first time.
The part that stuck with me is:

Yup. Even the dark fiber back haul networks used by data centers that were once thought to be private are now being encrypted (Google, Microsoft, etc have mentioned this).

This is exactly what PRISM was, not taking data from servers, but tapping into the data networks between them and siphoning off whatever the NSA wanted. And it just so happens that to mirror a fiber optic line you use a crystal prism.
And I think a lot of the people who don't support it also don't fully understand it, or have a misconception about how it will negatively impact them based on a few anecdotes they've heard from countries that do have universal healthcare (some of which are true, and many of which are false).

I feel as though that ire ought to be directed at the companies who knowingly walk in the gray areas to make profits where simpler laws might suffice for common sense. It's the same arms race that plays out in many other instances, if abuses didn't happen then we wouldn't need to codify into the law that those things are indeed abuses.

With every round of this game we play, it gets harder for smaller businesses to step around the collateral damage, but it's not as though the right answer is to give up on worker protections. The worst part of it all in my opinion is that after a gray area is ruled on after years of extracting profits, there's literally no consequences for a business forcing that gray area to get codified into law. Of course these vague in-between areas will be exploited and eventually refined into more and more meticulous law, there's a bounty on every one of these areas. The system we have will trend towards this unless we give up on worker protections (obviously not good) or reorganize this system so the winning move isn't to force more legislation
In the time frame tested, Brazil's equity markets fell about 60%. I'm sure more than just 'day traders' failed to make money.
It is relatively easy to start a project, but it is really hard to get it done. We all have unfinished projects. How many of your unfinished projects have been tossed into the trash can? One of these days, you are gonna hate yourself over it.

Go to the site and

Follow these steps
1. Sign up.
2. Log in.
3. Publish your unfinished projects.

I always found them to be funny BECAUSE all they showed off was speed and a new camera. Past the first iPhone release much of the technology was already in Android phones before Apple.

Adding to lm28469's answer:

Depends on the user base as well. Which users are likely to use the app and you're able to retain easily.

Another factor is how well you / developer knows the platform. For example, if you have always been writing React Native apps, then you can do RN but focus only either iOS / Android app. That way you can give one platform your 100% and then quickly launch to the other platform with lesser work.

Creator here. As a VUI designer, I have struggled with understanding how people will talk to my app. To understand it better I was meeting with users and was asking them to talk to my app. They thought the app was launched in production, but it was just me playing texts out loud using just Google Translate.

So my team and I built Tortu. Workflow is simple: you map out the conversation using flowchart and then test it with the in-browser prototype. The flowchart has only two types of blocks: "user says", "system says". The prototype has voice, text and "chat bubbles" modes.

We learned a lot while coding since we have never worked with flowcharts before. We use GoJS for building interactive diagrams. We were considering D3 but GoJS is built especially for diagrams and has features working out of the box such as "undo/redo", "copy/paste", "drag and drop".

For text to speech, we use Google Text To Speech and Amazon Polly. And for speech recognition, we use Google Speech. The frontend code is in Typescript (React), the backend is in Python (Django).

The tool is free and will stay free forever if you sign up while it is in beta.

This is a flat fee assessed if your account goes into "overdraft" to cover a check (or other liability). If your account is set up to do this (pretty standard in the US) rather than a check failing to clear your bank will cover the check and charge, e.g. $30-$50 for covering it. Of course you owe the overdraft amount as well.

That may be one minor reason of many, that may not. But this speculation that peoples' beliefs, such as my own, are propaganda driven needs to stop being presented as objective. Many people have statistical and empirical evidence to support their beliefs especially concerning issues such as health policy/regulation. When you disagree, those you disagree with are not automatically swayed by propaganda any more than your beliefs of the significant PR effects are propaganda-based themselves.
