There are rarely true "irrational" decisions. If a decision looks irrational to you, it's most likely because you don't truly understand the incentives driving that person.oke
This just reconfirms my view that nobody can really touch Apple when it comes to tight software and hardware integration.

On the hardware front, very few companies have the capability to design and manufacture their own chips. Apple does it repeatedly.

The article also points to the very long timeline they can adopt in development. Some of these concepts have been in play since the early 2000s.
I seem to recall (from Dark Sun) that Ivy Mike used expanded polystyrene to fill/line the outer case of the weapon - it does seem that an aerogel would be a possible evolution of that.
I wonder if the Tuesday at 10am optimal emailing time has an equivalent with HN submissions?

This is interesting as Berlin, Germany is also set to pass a five-year rent freeze to address tenant concerns and rising gentrification. I always attributed to the fact that Berlin for some years has had a pretty left-leaning state/city government and the fact that Europeans are more willing to try things like this. As an American living here, I never thought I'd see such a large scale action back in the States. Is it now 'global' zeitgeist at this point to make moves like this?
Because of the open space. Observations are wider
It's bad behaviour all right, but that doesn't automatically mean a law is the best fix.

Tenants could ask for contract terms that forbid such raises.

Or, if landlords are not forthcoming, they could take out insurance.

And yes, such insurance would need to have its terms written carefully. And it probably doesn't exist as a product at the moment. But eg sponsoring the development of such insurance would be an easier to justify action by the government than a law. Also less likely to backfire.

In any case, the underlying problem is lots of pent up demand for building, and permits only being given out in a trickle. If there was more building, landlords couldn't pull those tricks, at least not profitably.
The cost of medication is not strongly correlated to research costs. In the US most drug prices are set via a single factor: how much will people pay for it?

Under this rubric, "cheap" lifesaving drugs are viewed as an arbitrage opportunity. If a lifesaving cancer drug costs $20k per month, then why should a comparable MS treatment be "given away" at $15 per pill?

Also a huge percentage of new drug research is not geared toward creating new and interesting treatments: it's based on making small changes to existing molecules to preserve efficacy while making something "new" enough to be patentable.
yup can agree to that
Does anyone know how much money Mozilla gets from Cloudflare? Do they get any? I've tried to find something in Mozilla financial declarations but haven't found anything.
Compilers do that, yes. But I think the grandparent wanted to express this at the source level, as an annotation to a type.
Right. Maybe he'd gone for a heavier and thicker phone then.

1. Modern camera

2. No camera bump

3. Thin phone

Pick two. Or else, what would be the solution?

It's the culture with more detailed worlds and villains.
This looks amazing. Nice share.
> The correct response is always: "Show the benchmark numbers and make your case that the trade off is worth it." Then there is discussion on how compelling a case has been made.

Where do you work that allows you to implement everything twice, once in C and once in C++, for a proper comparison to be made?

(I realize that's not quite what you said, but if we're going with 'benchmark', then presumably those places have already done the benchmarks and decided that C++ is generally superior performance-wise.)

You can assume but you don't know until you actually observe them. It's no longer an assumption.
