> I'm not sure how you calculated that but they sell about 20m macs per year not 5m

Quarterly numbers come in between 4.5-5m units these days but point taken - I recalled numbers for the wrong timeframe.

> I also doubt the chips cost them 50$ per unit. The savings may worth few billions so it's not really like nothing.

The true cost of this move is reflected in more than the R&D. This is a long multi-year effort involving several parties with competing interests. People are talking here as if they just flipped a switch to save costs.

Let me make this clear. In my view, this is an offensive/strategic move to drive differentiation, not a defensive move to save costs (though if this works, that could be a big benefit down the road). Apple has a long history of these kinds of moves (that don't just involve chips). This is the same response I have to people peddling conspiracy theories that Apple loves making money off of selling dongles as a core strategy (dongles aren't the point, wireless is; focusing on dongles is missing the forest for the trees).
I agree with your observation that reduction to single 'causal factor' is delusional.

You just shouldn't abuse your interface by using it. ;-)

(Interfaces are to be printed out and to be discussed while looking at them mounted onto presentation boards. This is their primary purpose nowadays. – API's have still a way to go in order to catch up. E.g., we're still using calls like "Performance.measure()", where it really should be low contrast "Pink.mint()", which is also much prettier in a printed list of calls.)
I suppose the big picture here is that pretending that the H-1B suspension is the big news for immigration kind of misses the point because:

(1) All actual immigration entry was already suspended since April 22.

(2) The present order adding suspension of some nonimmigrant visas through the end of the year also extended the general immigration halt to the end of the year.
I supported Apple so much when they chose to adopt the Bell Labs system interface. I loved Apple even more when they made it possible to run the C and Assembly code that PC users have always known and loved, using a platform known for its product excellence.

However Apple comes across as cruel when they make decisions like these, which break software distributability of things like native machine learning code. For example one build system that enables that use case is: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan

At best these new POWER or ARM architecture Apple PCs are going to be like a C-class Mercedes. So I'm honestly not that concerned. Having distributable open source executables support them shouldn't be that difficult, it's just that it'd add bloat and require trading away important parts of Von Neumman architecture, such as self-modifying code, in order to be done easily.

If Apple wasn't being goofballs, they would have taken into consideration that the x86_64 patents should expire around this year, so Apple could have just as easily adapted the POWER design of which IBM divested themselves, to support x86, by simply bolting on a code morphing layer like Xed. Since it'd be pretty great to be able to buy an Apple PC that doesn't have MINIX lurking inside the chip, without making tradeoffs that could be most accurately described as breaking open source software to save money.
I grew up in a bad neighborhood and was the victim of violence on multiple occasions. I have what the academics call "lived experience". It wasn't any kind of weird fluke, it was exactly the kind of violence you would expect from this kind of area: Being attacked by groups of improverished youths, looking to rob and assault people for money and enjoyment.
The things these privileged ACAB protesters believe are absolute nonsense. These kids were not out there assaulting people because the system had let them fall through the cracks. These were individuals who had purposefully eluded ever integrating themselves in the system. The gangs would act in their own self interest to the fullest extent until the police stopped them.
I can't bring myself to dine out because while I'm not as concerned for myself, I feel like the risk has to be pretty high to the waiters/bussers (prolonged interactions with dozens of people each day, and handling used dishes/silverware). I feel better about takeout currently since it cuts down on that.

Ask HN: I need your help: static vs. dynamic web content?
Hey web devs,

So I'm building a site-building service

Basically a user's site like "robert.site.com" will resolve by using the subdomain "robert" as a parameter.

Now I'm stuck between using static or dynamic rendering.

a) static means I'd pre-render html files and serve it accordingly

b) dynamic means I'd have react templates and hydrate them using json

I feel like (a) creates a more brittle experience (static content not mapping 1:1) and requires storage buckets

yet (b) could have penalties on SEO and other shortcomings.

Is anyone able to weigh in? What would you go with?
>On top of that, there is some research that suggests communities rate smaller police forces better than letter ones

Likely a large portion of what they saw was a product of racial and political demographics. Whites are a larger percent of rural populations than cities. [0] White people on average rate police much better than non-whites. [1] Of course whites may rate police better because they live in rural areas, but the gap in satisfaction between whites and blacks is too great to be accounted for by more whites living in rural areas. Also rural people are more likely to be conservative and conservative people rate police much higher. Rural officers are in less danger in rural areas, so they may not need to be as alert and forceful because they know their lives are not in danger as much.

Unfortunately, Apple (and not just Apple, others are sadly doing it too) would rather change the users to fit its designs than the opposite.
I've got a friend in the Philippines who loves durian. It's her favourite fruit. she goes nuts for it. She'll eat a whole bag at once and still want more. Even there though, there's people who can't stand it. A lot of her friends and coworkers dislike it and complain when she eats it around them.

You're exactly right, this is what I mean when I talk about the current government being this transparent. Immigrants tend to think of the risk-reward scenario, and a lot depends on image and perspective in their heads.

This image now is a lot nearer to reality than it previously was. When this leads to people not having US-citizen children, or not buying houses, or just not jumping on the boat to reach the US come what may, or just not being too optimistic in general (essentially not tying yourself to a country when the country hasn't done the same with you in terms of citizenship), things will maybe get a bit more sane.

Nah, I watch most of the WM-related threads because it's more interesting to me than I am willing to admit in public life. XFCE gets trotted out generally any time GNOME, KDE, MATE or Cinnamon does, but especially in the case of the former two.

Regardless of one's opinion on immigration however, suddenly creating an immediately invoked executive order with no warning, no grace period, and no plan for what comes next is reckless and will needlessly cause harm to many people who were just trying to do what's best for themselves while acting fully within the law and system as it exists (er, existed).
It is a morally bereft and politically motivated action, which is to say, exactly what we should all expect from the narcissistic orange clown in the Oval Office.

I sometimes wonder if there's a genetic component affecting how people smell and taste durian, just like with cilantro. To me it's just a little stinky, like someone fried onions a couple hours ago and the smell is mostly faded, but the flavor is pure sweet creaminess.

As an example, once made a cup of durian coffee in a different room on a different floor entirely and someone stormed out of the building because of the odor. I didn't mention that I made it before that happened, so it wasn't just an exaggerated response. Nobody else could smell it. Not even I could smell anything beyond just plain old coffee.
They just switched Macs to an entirely new architecture. I think they probably put more effort into macOS than iOS this year.
It's paying the people actually doing the work required at the time (the distribution of works which are already public). If creators want to get paid they need to arrange for that before making the work public, not after. There are plenty of perfectly viable options for ensuring that creators get compensated for their work. Copyright just isn't one of them.
For some programs, like Georgia Tech's OMSCS, online students in given courses are known to do better on written exams then the in-person class[1]
This could have a lot to do with demographics: online students have a harder survivorship curve to contend with, already have employment, and face little reason to continue with the program if they are discouraged or stuggling. None the less, it's an interesting data point!

Gitlab needs to be able to mix licenses on a single system, its current model requires all accounts in an org to operate at the same level, try selling a 1000 seat ultimate license at 99/user/month to tbe average sme. In all companies there are seats that need different levels of capabilities, gitlab is just way to expensive to use at anything above starter, the premium level works out at 2x more expensive than jira/bb/confluence with considerably less capability. I want to be able to buy 200 starter, 50 premium and 5 ultimate licenses and mix them on the same system.

> Regardless of one's opinion on immigration however, suddenly creating an immediately invoked executive order with no warning, no grace period, and no plan for what comes next

There's been warning that something like this was coming for a while, and it's been broadly expected since the April 22 immigration halt order, given the way Trump had previously railed against the existing H-1B system as worker-hostile and the entire justification for the April 22 immigration halt was the threat to US workers from immigrants in the present crisis.

My physics isn't great, but I have questions based off what I have (mis) learned:

1. If you jettison a 1kg rock at 99.999% the speed of light, it'll not really be 1kg anymore because of something with energy and mass being the same near the speed of light?

2. At that point you'd be jettisoning raw energy?

3. Could you make a single molecule act like a very heavy object this way?

4. What would happen if that single molecule hit a planet?

5. Would fusion (or fission) be capable of creating more mass through velocity than the weight of the reactor? As in, using a couple molecules to create enough energy to speed up a molecule so much that it acts massive.

Cost of cpu is unit cost + all other costs including r and d divided by units. We also don't arrive at a reasonable estimate of unit costs by taking a range of estimates and picking the estimate most favorable to our position.

I also don't believe it's reasonable to assume that switching to arm is as simple as putting an iPad cpu into a laptop shell.

Here is an estimate that their 2018 model costs 72 just to make not to design and make.

The a14 that will power a MacBook is likely going to be more expensive not less. Especially with 15B transistors on the a14 vs less than 7B on a12.

Average selling price of Intel cpu looks like around $126. This includes a lot of low end cpus which is exactly the kind of cpu apple fans like to compare.

Apple may realize greater control and better battery life with the switch but they won't save a pile of money and thoughts about increasing performance are fanciful speculation that Apple, the people with the expertise are too smart to engage in.
Vestiges of feudalism is a big factor in all those examples, including Russia and Ukraine. China was very feudal too, till the republic --and then became a satellite to Japan and back to a Communist feudal system and back out. Chile, Uruguay not so feudal.

Systems that retained vestiges of feudalism and were late to adopt industrialization suffer. But things can turn around quickly, if the countries pursue a strategy that works for them.

Myanmar/Burma is one such place. They could quickly industrialize or they could waste their opportunity --it's up to them. We'll see.

It’s likely that averages are very misleading for this kind of thing. People who are willing/able to pay FB not to see ads probably tend to have a lot more disposable income, and therefore are worth more to advertisers—potentially many times more than the average.

I guess it could be, but durian smells like a dumpster on a sunny day to me. That's much more pronounced than cilantro tasting a bit like soap.
