Debugging allows arbitrary code execution. Essentially you allow developers to debug running applications on their iPad, you allow them to run any code they want on it (maybe with extra steps, but that is the unavoidable inevitable result).

I'm not against it, but I am saying that's quite different from the iPad's current security model. You're giving developers root, maybe with extra steps, but root none the less.

Opinions like this are dangerous for intelligent people. I was falsely diagnosed by my doctors for 10 years who were gun-ho on not "over testing". They told me my symptoms were just IBS and there was no need for additional testing. I had to find a doctor who would do more tests and immediately they found cancer in my intestines, a softball-sized tumor in my liver, and multiple other tumors. Denying intelligent people knowledge is a mistake; we just also need the information need to process the data provided. But I do agree there is a section of patients who will have trouble using the information they might receive.
First of all, inflation and hyperinflation are two really different things. The first one being common in history while the second one is rare but catastrophic.

Then, In Friedman's book inflation is related to the amount of money in circulation, yet since the 80s the amount of money and inflation have almost zero correlation in the US. Some of Friedman's concepts were useful to reach that point, but still: we now have been living for 40 years in a world where Friedman's model is unable to explain anything.

> 3M and Prestige Ameritech are the only companies with the ability to manufacturing N95 masks in the US from US sourced materials.

I'm confused about your italics. Why does it matter where the source materials you give them comes from? i.e. Why would other manufacturers in the US be only able to manufacture masks from non-US-sourced-materials, but fail on US-sourced materials? Is there something defective with US-sourced materials that if you gave them to US-based manufacturers, their machines would break or something?
Also just because you wear a mask doesn’t necessarily mean your better protected. If you take of said mask without washing hands after you still have exposed your risk. Plus with a global shortage, it’s essential for those who are in dire need to have them then those who are just asymptomatic.

They are, but I would only use one as a second device besides a real Mac. Setup and updates are relatively painless if you choose the right hardware and store additional kexts not on the system OS partition but the EFI boot partition.

Biggest troubles are WIFI and Bluetooth (and therefore continuity, needs one of a few selected cards), graphics (no nVidia) and keyboard and trackpad (for desktops, use used Apple peripherals) as well as sound in some configurations (might use a Bluetooth speaker if BT works).

It always can happen that you mess up (or need access to a real Mac for downloading the OS in the first place), so have a Backup and wait a few days after system updates appear, read forums about possible showstoppers and necessary precautions. That said, Catalina is still not perfect and troubles may not be caused by the hackintosh but the OS.

Announcing it ahead of time doesn't make a difference because the market still doesn't know what the material information is or even whether it exists. It's like management saying "I know something you don't knowww ;)" and leaving the market to sort out whether or not that's a meaningful and reliable piece of information.

My point is that there often isn't any material nonpublic information underlying the buyback so it only serves as a way to juice the stock price in the short-term by manipulating the psychology of the market. It's also worth noting that these transactions were illegal until Rule 10b-18 specifically exempted them from market manipulation and deception rules.

Most languages of any kind do not let you reason about that. You're not wrong, but neither is this some specific issue with functional languages. Indeed I'd say functional languages are at the forefront of trying to bring in ways to reason about those, with things like Linear Haskell or https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/coq-wor...

I've got a maxed out Mac Mini with the 8th Gen hexa core i5, 64 GB ram and 1TB of storage along with a Radeon Rx 580 8GB in a Razer Core X.

I think if you're using it for a specialized application with eGPU support, game development, or gaming in Windows via bootcamp it's a passable solution (albeit with lower performance than a native card).

On the for something like web development, it's finicky - Chrome won't pick up on the external GPU unless you have an output directly from the Mac Mini to the graphics card along with separate output from your Mac Mini to your external monitor (which means a lot of plugging and unplugging cables whenever I boot up the machine).

If I could afford a Mac Pro or had space for an iMac, or if Apple actually made the xMac I'd buy those in a heartbeat.
I took the byte and thumb drive bit literally, but if it were some exotic ternary system, it can hold about ~12.7 bits. If they're decimal digits instead, that sequence has a capacity of 10 bans or 26.6 bits.

The name "information theory" seems to throw people; imagine it were called coding theory instead and it might seem clearer that we can talk about the "capacity" of different codes and how different representations interact without worrying too much about what they mean. It's similar to algebra, in that we can make statement about `x + y = y + x` or `n + 0 = n` without worrying about whether x is measured in apples, lightyears, or anything at all.

Contrapositives are one of my favorite things in simple logic to demonstrate the difference between rigorous logic and our human heuristic logic. Mathematically, contrapositives are identical to the original statement, but extremely frequently, if not almost always, they sound different to us humans.

If more people understood them, there's a number of dumb internet debates that could finally die, where X -> Y isn't immediately obviously wrong to our human brains and may even sound correct but !Y -> !X is immediately obviously wrong.
You just failed both! :).
I can't tell if you're joking, but I have a 2018 Mac Mini with just 8GB of RAM, and I often run Eclipse, IntelliJ, and PyCharm at the same time (along with multiple browsers and other stuff), and performance is fine.

I was actually surprised by this--when I first started using this computer, I thought for sure I would need to add more RAM, which for the 2018 model is too complicated to do yourself (at least to me it seemed too risky).
The discussion is debugging other processes, none of those can do that. If you cannot hook and debug e.g. Node.js then VSCode on iPad isn't useful.

> there is a real need for a platform-agnostic application layer above the native OS.

It is rather focused on robotics but that is essentially what the Robotic Operating System (ROS)[1] is, although it is less for users and more for autonomous systems. It allows an operating system to be distributed across many machines and multiple entities to collaborate. There are many extensions available but ROS core is just the bare minimum abstractions needed to have a distributed operating system to build applications on.

> since it has lost most of its value as a currency in harsh times?

Gold isn't a currency its money.

A currency is backed by a store of value, money is a store value.

Gold is a great store of value because its rare and doesn't expire this is why humans used it as the first form of money thousands of years ago, and it's why people continued to use it up until very recently.

> what exactly are you going to buy with your gold coins when all supply chains are broken and most goods can't be produced even at a higher price?

Total global economic collapse seems very unlikely, but let's say the US government collapses in that case the US currency Dollars collapses completely, it has no value its just monopoly money.

Today in a war zone where supply chains are broken, local currency or dollars are worthless, but gold will still have the same value world wide no matter what, simply because it is the value.

Tuna goes off after a year so while valuable its not a good store of value.

Gold doesn't go off, it doesn't rust, it has lots of uses in electronics like phones and computer, only a very small percentage of the worlds supply of gold is used for jewellery / decoration.
This announcement should mean that the current 13" Pro will soon be replaced by a 14" Pro with magic keyboard and higher power processor options, otherwise there will be too much overlap between product lines.

Lots of confusion by the author of this piece, unfortunately. Author seems to struggle with English so perhaps that's why they accidentally misinterpreted some points made by the investors.

Aside from the points mentioned in the comments above, I didn't quite get this point: 'The misunderstood dogma here is to have no definite plan, work in incremental iterations to find out what’s most valuable to customers today(Lean Startup Methodology).'

Having no plan is the opposite of the Lean Methodology. The approach is literally built on the notion of having a business model that contains a set of hypotheses, which you then test, and iterate accordingly. In lean, a pivot is defined as replacing a hypothesis in the business model with a new one. E.g. Who you thought your market was.

All in all, format is interesting but the author doesn't seem particularly knowledgeable in this field. Looking forward to an updated version though.
From the Wikipedia entry on gold.

"Only 10% of the world consumption of new gold produced goes to industry"

Gold does have some industrial use and probably would have more if it weren't so expensive due to people valuing it as a reserve currency.

Define "practical".

I have used and installed Linux and BSDs for a long time, and yet I had a look at the suggested procedures and I went "nope". There is basically a 50/50 chance that it will work, some features will likely not work at all (particularly cloud-related services), and every little update might doom your machine. Fun project for the hardcore Apple hacker, but imho it would be foolish to base your day-to-day production needs on such a build.
Zoom can do this. When she sets up her Zoom rooms, they can be set to record automatically. Then, she can share her whole screen or just one single app she has open with her students during the session. So she can share her PowerPoint with them, but they still hear and see her video thumbnail, and then after the session is over, Zoom will process the recording for her. No need for any other software. It may take Zoom a day to process the recording, but she will eventually get a link inside Zoom she can share as needed. This is all built into Zoom. No other tools are needed.
In great abstraction, you formulate questions which have a 'yes' or 'no' answer. It might make sense to think of the set of all questions with true or false answers, accompanied by an extremely sparse truth table. This is of course impractical but it does let us think about formal logic.
Too big to fail should mean public utility. If we can't live without it, why is it privately owned?
I want to say just let them fail, but that would make competition even lower in already low-competition industries. If there are bailouts, it should be in a form that spreads out the losses over time, so these companies can still operate short-term but still get punished for the mis-management.
Trump will bail out any company that has a large blue collar workforce. I really doubt they will be tough on the bailout terms, either. The onus of the failure will be put onto Covid-19 rather than any kind of mismanagement or misconduct or buy backs.
The Kalman filter can be derived as the conditional mean/variance of a multivariate normal. You assume a linear state-space model and walk the equations forward. Those are the key limitations: linear state space; Gaussian innovations. You can derive it other ways, but that's the way I grok it.

You are correct about hidden states. A linear state-space model with omitted variables will suffer the same kinds of bias present in an OLS model with omitted variables [4].

Deriving the equations is a nice way to distract yourself from the apocalypse. [1],[2] should be enough of a toe hold if you are familiar with OLS. Ignore the control term u[n] in the Matlab documentation. Kalman's original paper [3] is also a really nice, although I didn't really get it until I had already approached it as a conditional moment problem.

If the fears are really overblown, Elon Musk ought to consider suing over the quarantine order before violating it. He'd have a meaningful case, as this is an entirely unprecedented abrogation of civil liberties, and it is not clear that it was applied with due process of law.

The performance depends very greatly on the resolution you run the 4K screen at.

If you're using a non-evenly scaled resolution (i.e. not exactly 1x or 2x rendering) it's not gonna be fantastic. Running at 'default' 2x my 2018 runs 2x 24" 4Ks without issue - the problem most people have I think is that they buy much larger displays and then want to use a higher rendered resolution, which is where the iGPU will struggle.

Maybe you should be dubious about Graham's number. It seems like you should always be able to add an apple to a pile of apples and get a pile with more apples in, but that's not actually the case; at some point, well before Graham's number, your pile would collapse into a black hole.
That's everyone's instinctive reaction, but it's completely wrong, and everyone will know this too, if you just give the right examples. Like say you compare people by their age. That's a perfectly fine operation sufficient for sorting, min, max, etc. Now you find two people have the same age. Are they the same person?

Or let's say you're sorting strings case-insensitively. "a" might be neither less than nor greater than "A", meaning they'd be unordered with respect to each other. But that doesn't mean you suddenly wouldn't care if one got duplicated and the other got deleted.

Fundamentally "unordered" just means "neither comes before nor comes after". It doesn't imply "equal to". You can wrap this in a lot of fancy math terminology about partial and total orders, but it's not that complicated conceptually; the idea is just that the lack of an ordering doesn't imply equality, just like how you and your twin aren't the same person. This is one aspect of why C++ is introducing more sophisticated comparisons in C++20 (I would suggest looking it up).
