This is a great take, and really puts things into perspective. Thanks for taking the time to write it.
First, the whole phone needs to be well architected - the CPU, GPU, Flash, wireless and cell radios can each be bottlenecks for good performance.

As the screen size and refresh rate increase, the needs of the CPU/GPU and Flash will increase.

Mobile phones tend to be more interactive and thus have a larger negative experience with slow/jerky scrolling, slow response to taps including app launch, etc.

Microcontrollers tend to have options from slowing down the clock rate to going into a deep sleep mode when there is no scheduled work. There has been a lot of work to optimize the scheduling of network/driver/app tasks to minimize power draw. It is also fairly common to see a CPU have lower power cores, typically for the OS to leverage for hardware support and background tasks separate from what might be considered the 'main' CPUs for this reason.

Likewise, Apple has stopped shooting for a 50-100% increase in performance year over year, instead going for a mix of performance and power efficiency improvements. They have also started to do significantly more custom silicon design to support their hardware features, such as the Secure Enclave and neural engine additions used to support Face ID.

10 years is a long time though. Four years ago would be what, the iPhone 3GS? Apple went several years doubling the CPU, GPU, _and_ Flash performance and it was extremely noticeable.
On the other hand, right now, only the rich, or those with good enough medical insurance (if your co-pay is more than you make in 6 months, are you really insured ?), have access to the expensive treatments. On a universal heathcase system, whatever the form it may take, more people would have access those expensive options. Is it better to sell your treatment to more people but at a smaller price tag, or to fewer people at a bigger one ? I guess the economics depend on each treatment.

Fostering innovation is of course important. Which is why you can deduct a lot of your R&D expenses from your taxes. Again, each country has its own tax code, so generalization might not be possible, but in a lot of cases, the hard work of finding new drugs is funded by the citizens, through tax breaks or research grants. The public sector, via universities and public labs, is a major player (although not the only one, of course) in the medical field.

Let's not forget that forcing people to stay with their employer to maintain insurance coverage is also a way to stifle innovation. How many of those workers could have and would have started a business, if not for the fear to loose everything in case of medical issues ? Surely the republicains would love to remove those kind of barriers to worker movement and innovation, wouldn't they ?

The universal healthcare system obviously isn't free. Altough some studies, and real life examples elsewhere in the world, showed it wouldn't be the money pit some imagine, it certainly doesn't run on love and compassion and fresh water only. The taxes in my country can show you that. But the social benefits and the peace of mind I enjoy are, in my very own and somewhat biased opinion, worth the cost.

Wearable anywhere. AR's unique value is not big bulky things you play with at home, they're to be a nearly invisible accessory you wear everywhere. You get a few grams to hang off people's faces in the form of glasses, not a half kilogram. Otherwise, you're right - VR meets the need well enough.

I just gotta bite. You don't have to listen to it. But: "risk of hearing junk music" ?. If you are smart enough to know the difference you can just skip the track. However it seems you absolutely rely on external validation.

As new ideas emerge they often are raw and intense. As they get adopted by commercial music producers, these ideas become tamed and soft. Would you like to hear an original idea or a version adapted for average taste? Thats what you are constantly missing out on.

I guess your main problem is you think you can qualitatively compare art. Nope, stop dreaming that some theorem or critic will prove that music is good. Its all subjective, don't be afraid to explore your own taste.

As long as you keep listening to curated top 1000 lists, it shows that you have personally no actual opinion on the matter.

One underlying assumption behind the article: information technology stands still.

The big boys and behemoths of current and past eras emerged when there was a major change in technology or adoption. The two are also interdependent. New technologies drive new use cases and adoption in new segments, which drive further technological inventions.

Ubiquitous wireless devices, new AI capabilities, and wearable sensors are some areas that provide opportunities for startups today. Many more are still to come in the next few years and decades.

The negatives, of snap, at least, was that most apps became 'un-skinned,' and looked like unthemed things you'd launch directly in an X11-session so they look like their base-worst, and so on, in my experience. - The first Ubuntu LTS I tried that had snap even had problems with the [snap-packed] calculator, which for some dumb reason was a snap-app instead of a .deb, I'm talking the main included/internal calc-app, and the VLC snap-package I tried was totally unskinned, due to being snap'ped I suppose, as the ppa and etc .deb versions of VLC certainly was and looked better.

Now I am on EndeavourOS, an arch-based distro, easy to use and set up, and this is due to snap being introduced in Ubuntu directly, plus not wanting the ppa chase-game, and et cetera. It's just an/my opinion(s), and certainly not a pointer. Just being objective from my own perspectives, here. Got nothing against Ubuntu or anything, it's a free world, thankfully, still.
I hope the HiDPI support is improved now. Right now, when I use fractional scaling on 19.10, none of the display settings get saved and so after a restart, I have to readjust all of the layout, orientation and scaling for displays. Pretty annoying for a dual-boot triple display system.

edit: Nevermind, seems that it got even worse for my case:

One of the most striking things in this article for me was the remark about Amish women having five to ten children. If this is the case and if all women have children then the Amish population should be increasing rapidly. Is it?

It would be difficult (or perhaps impossible) to type all of Erlang's message passing features, so we reduced scope to not include distributed message passing or hot upgrades- so the types of all actors in the system can be known up front in order to be checked.

In practice this is enough for the vast majority of applicatinos, and messages with runtime checks (like in regular Erlang) can be used for the other situations if required.
Humans would frequently live beyond 70 years in preindustrial societies. If you look at ages when colonial aristocrats died in colonial America you'll see a similar trend.

What pushed life expectancy down was infant mortality, and communicable disease. Amish would have likely lived for longer than average simply because they didn’t live in cities.

There’s also the obvious problem of the methods of old statistics, did it include infant mortality and childbirth deaths?
Humans produce colostrum early after birth as well. There's a practice of saving it if the mother produces enough milk in case the newborn later has an illness and could use the antibody boost.
I think Sweden did it wrong, valuing the economy more than the lives of people. I think there are some political ideologies at work, but I don't want to get into these.

In my country we have 3x less cases and 8x less deaths per million people. I do think that quarantine payed off. We can recover the economy but we can't recover lives.
I can only handle so many questions that are answered within the first 2 pages of the documentation before I lose patience. RTFM evolved as a defence response. But actually, in my experience RTFM-type responses were pretty rare in the channels I frequented and people usually give the benefit of doubt. I usually try to answer and then include a link to where they could have found the information themselves. Sometimes a seemingly lazy question spawns something more interesting.

I haven't used IRC for about a year now but that's not related to user behaviour.

With media streams the provider typically wants to be able to recode the data to lower quality to fit the bandwidth available to clients with lower bandwidth / congestion etc.

There are ways around this but they are quite complex and place additional CPU overhead on each sender.

Always Tradeoffs.
I believe it will take a few generations. They'll probably make sub-optimal designs taking into account the local car culture. If they're lucky in 15 years they'll again have a mayor interested in advancing bicycling, and they'll improve the design, with car drivers more aware of bicycles by then. Repeat every time the roads are rebuilt.

Other countries never seem to take the shortcut to a proven, optimal design. Not Invented Here syndrome.

Sure, selling a big vision is important to new startups. That's just one of many constraints and risks you have, but like all risks it can be navigated well or poorly. They could sell a big vision but also have a plan to increment there, but they didn't. I don't think that negates the fact that Magic Leap never presented what their groundbreaking idea was for why we needed AR.

It doesn't have to. Suppress transmission with lockdowns and quarantines until the number of cases is low. Then open up partially, with social distancing measures, mask requirements, etc. Do contact tracing with extensive testing and contact tracing to keep the virus at a low level. Use random testing to keep an eye on the level of the virus in each community. Impose stricter measures locally if you detect R > 1.

I think that Magic Leap went on for years with just promises and marketing, and they never produced a demo or product. I guess they actually did release hardware a while ago, I didn't know. But for a long time it was just news about "Magic leap promises X" or "Magic leap raises money". But they didn't release a demo or product.

I was confused when reading this and googled market share - you're right, apparently Apple has a much larger chunk of that market than FitBit does.

Well, turns out that "you're holding it wrong" is the Apple motto now.
A "transformative visual experience" isn't a product, or a vision. It's a technology in search of a problem. They needed to demonstrate a clear use case, and determine if that was achievable with what they had. If it wasn't, they could always be an R&D lab instead. I don't know what you actually do with a $10k light field thing even if it is cool. If you want to make a category-defining product (which $2.6b in funding strongly suggests), you have to define the category, not just ship a thing.

Couldn't you have said the same of the Apple II or IBM PC?
This is a common refrain, but I don't think it's supported by evidence. The poorest people cannot afford own a car[1] - and one can hypothesise that the high entry cost (purchasing a car, buying insurance) is a significant reason for this. Other methods of transport, such as cycling, walking, buses and trains do not have this high entry cost and so are much more accessible for the most disadvantaged people in our society.

It's also critical to have a strong urban planning policy that allows people to live near to where jobs and transport hubs are. Suburbs inherently advantage car owners (and, consequently, the richer people that can afford to own a car).

Can't confirm. My employer has been using GCP for quite some time and I've talked to lots of people at various conferences about their experience with GCP and they all praised the quality and responsiveness of the support.
It's important to try to better understand the effect of various measures on R. In the present situation in the US and Europe, though, what matters most is quickly reducing R. There will be time for more experimentation with different measures (e.g., different regions trying slightly different interventions) later, but right now, plausibility is the best guide.
