An ARM owned and fully controlled by NVIDIA is probably worth more to them than an independent and reasonably neutral ARM who's willing to do business with NVIDIA's competitors. Maybe not $22B more, though.
As a young man, he went to France with his mother. The trip did not turn out well, as he was met with a very cold reception there, also his mother died. He did not return. He also got on rather well with and even once gave an impertinent kiss to Marie Antoinette when they were children.
I vaguely remember Gnome-Terminal even having it. I wonder if they removed it.
Yes, it basically turns the entire rant into one giant strawman argument.

From the 2G spectrum scam wiki page you shared

"....On 21 December 2017, the special court in New Delhi acquitted all accused in the 2G spectrum case including prime accused A Raja and Kanimozhi.[12] This verdict was based on the fact that CBI could not find any evidence against the accused in those 7 years. As per the judgement, "Some people created a scam by artfully arranging a few selected facts and exaggerating things beyond recognition to astronomical levels..."

I am not sure what to make of this, more so considering that this happened when the opposing party, BJP, was in power. - Was there no scam at all? Was there a scam but they just accused the wrong people? Is the judiciary and/or CBI complicit? And, if so is BJP complicit too, because ideally they should have every incentive to ensure the rule of law is enforced to the fullest degree considering that the accused were from the opposition Congress party?

So what I'm hearing is that introductory classes could be replicated in a primarily online environment? I'd be a huge fan of moving the first year or so of college online (or at least having the option to do so) for a reduced rate.

Well their biggest mistake was to live in US and be US citizens. Most of the people operating high scale phone scams live abroad, India, Africa, South East Asia...

Don't do that though, don't scam people.
Look around at all the companies shaking taxpayers for loose change because they could not handle a moderate economic downturn. A responsible company needs a cash stockpile for the same reason a responsible person needs savings, to weather storms.

That's not a silver lining, that just means the bar is waaaay too low. Raise it.
There are two pocket OS systems.

Yes, I agree. You have a fence that needs painting, paint, a brush, and a guy who is about to spend the day watching daytime TV.

Yet we are told, no!, do not pay this man, we can't afford it. We cannot get that day back when the sun sets.

Economics has let us down very, very badly.
The problem with "simple" is precisely the problem of removing what is not necessary. In most commercial software design, we tend toward making designs so flexible we make them tougher to reason about than necessary. One of the other problems in software is that software that is good is also the code that is easiest to understand and therefore replace. This doesn't happen so much with things like houses evidently.
> There are thousands of powerful smartphones on the market, from many different companies and even countries.

There are only 2 major OS's.
> There are thousands of powerful smartphones on the market, from many different companies and even countries.

You're being deceptive here. Apple App Store and Google Play Store are what we are talking about. There aren't many other avenues that can reach consumers.

> I'm okay with it.

You're okay with me having to pay hard earned money to Apple and Google? Having to work that much harder? To be unable to afford to lean into scaling? Because that's awful.

Fuck that.

These companies are anti-entrepreneur.
This looks great! It seems like a nice evolution for those familiar with tools like Unity and PhaserJS.

I wasn't familiar with PlayCanvas until now and I think I found my weekend project.
If Google and Facebook died or changed their business model, why should I care? I pay for Apple devices because the transaction is clean - I give them money and they give me stuff.

The same for Microsoft with O365 and subscriptions streaming services.
business as usual. US bullying others for economic gain. sometimes with war, sometimes with sanctions. for now they threaten to ban tiktok in the US but I'm sure it wouldn't stop at that. same as with huawei. they will go door to door to bully other countries to ban tiktok as well.
TikTok Live is already a feature.

Having live streaming built into the xbox platform + tiktok as a brand and audience would be a much more power combo than just mixer alone.
Damn, did these kids really get MafiaBoy'd?
I think you might be a little pessimistic here - IOT has a wealth of fruit to bear, from:

low power always-on devices with long range radio (LoRa),
few resources (32k ram),
the security constraints of securing every device,
dealing with terabytes of log data in the cloud,
ML at the edge (Kendryte K210),
open-source firmware including radio (DASH7 firmware),
open-source hardware (and open-source FPGA tooling) to create custom hardware designs (hardware implementation of algorithms),
formal verification of OS and protocols,
etc etc.

Even a handful of innovation in any of the above would be groundbreaking.
Tell us why (it is so hard). It's possible we won't be able to imagine but let's give it a go.
My ancestors lived in Israel since 1880, and the Arabs raided their villages, burned their fields, and massacred them in riots. Before Israel they lived in Yemen, where they faced pogroms and blood libel. What the West cannot understand about the Arab-Israeli conflict is that it's not just a political war, it's also a race war and a holy war. What's happening in Israel is biblical, and reducing it to politics cannot possibly capture its complexity.
Beyond the security of not giving our credit cards, and the convenience of not having 8 different game updater/launcher clients, Apple’s App Store policies also limit 3rd party software’s ability to fuck up my devices in a myriad of ways.

If they’re forced to open up to 3rd party stores, I hope they can do it in a way that prevents Adobe from running 8 background processes to make sure my license is current and there aren’t any font updates to download and to make Reader launch faster by keeping it in memory all the time, or whatever it is they do with their Creative Cloud client stuff.

The cautionary tale of equity research
OFAC is a result of political and economic realism. Not many people will do business in Venezuela, Iran and North Korea because (among other good reasons) the governments of these countries have shown a propensity of nationalize foreign firms.

Foreign companies are free to not do business with the United States if they feel their company is likely to be expropriated. In practice 300m of the world's richest consumers make the US irresistible. Thus, OFAC is tolerated.

That would imply the purchase is for the purpose of actions that could cause regulators in multiple countries to block the purchase.
> It's just that Apple aren't going to spend their time and money developing software to let you do things they aren't interested in. Why should they?

They are spending time and money to prevent that. Or you can create an app store as an app and expect Apple to allow your "app store app" to ship in iPhones?
The features are already there in the OS, they use them themselves. They dont need to do anything more.. but instead they work to cripple or prevent others from using it.

This is in essence the spirit of a monopoly.

Ok you personally dont mind for whatever reasons, but there a lot of other harms to the society and civil rights in general going on here. And that was the reason countries and laws exists.. To prevent people or companies in position of power to abuse their power.
I think we use the happy in too broad of a manner. There's at least two dimensions to happiness that I regularly talk about

1) ephemeral pleasure (candy)

2) longer lasting joy / satisfaction (legacy/friendships/service)
I will be happy when anyone in any country does it, because they will likely be paying SpaceX to perform the launches, and SpaceX, regardless of national origin, seems to be making the most progress toward a future where there is regular passenger service to the moon.

I would very much like to live off of the Earth.
This whole analogy between working software and music production is flawed from the start and elaboration on the theme does not help.

What's needed is to discuss artists compensation on their own terms.

Don't distort it by relating it to software development.
> So if you had a large number of people, you could support a lower cost.

Everybody already knows that which is why the original price was the expected profit-maximizing price. There is a price which is optimal because above it you lose more customers than you make in unit margins and below it you lose more unit margins than you gain in additional customers. If Apple then takes 30% of that, you can't get any more by changing the price up or down or you'd have already done that from the start.

> The software and game market survived selling games at retail only getting a 40% cut.

Only the ones that did. Others didn't.

> Apple customers are by definition not price sensitive. If they were they wouldn’t be Apple customers.

Then why do any apps in Apple's store cost $1 and not $100 or $100,000? If the customers were actually totally insensitive to price that would surely be more profitable.
>They enjoy the lock in + fees that the app store generates.

That only affects the developer, not the consumer. What does the consumer care about who gets paid the fees.

I keep seeing the App Store framed as a consumer issue rather than a developer one when it's not. The App Store is no question pro-consumer especially when you consider the fact that the "open" web has essentially devolved into using every available toolkit to track users across the web.

I'm not at all interested in giving Facebook yet another platform where they can run amok with native hardware. I'm not interested in cleaning off Bonzai Buddy off my parents and friends phones.

There is an analogous problem in city design, wherein it was discovered that it was empirically not possible to get the average commute down below a certain time, because as more roads were built people moved further away from town. If you build more lanes to your roads, you don't get a faster commute, you get more sprawl.

People spend time making software less bloated, when it's the number one problem they have. When hardware speed is taking care of making that only the #2 or #3 problem they have, then they will work on whatever the #1 problem is, meanwhile adding more software bloat.

When Moore's Law once and for all stops, due to some law of physics reason, then software bloat will become a priority. Until then, other things are.
It's not just patents.

ARM has previously shut down open source software emulation of parts of the ARM ISA.

For a while QEMU could not implement ARMv7 I think, until changed their mind and started permitting it. There was an open source processor design on opencores.org that got pulled too.

The reasoning was something like "to implement these instructions you must have read the ARM documentation, which is only available under a license which prohibits certain things in exchange for reading it".
Yep. It's difficult to build a community-- you need to have enough mass to get further interest in. From a business view you end up with the question of "Why bother with RISC-V when ARM is doing what we need and has enough critical mass to keep things going forward?"

About the only thing that could force that to change would be another company buying up ARM and changing the licensing mechanisms (e.g. pricing or even removing some license options) going forward.. or just wrecking the product utterly.

I do think RISC-V has an opportunity here, but only if ARM sells out to NV and NV screws this up as hard as they're likely to in that situation.

This is a common misunderstanding. Structural programming like this is clearly similar to what we think of as OO. But it existed before OO and is still heavily practiced in non-OO languages such as C.

The main feature that OO added to this was dynamic function dispatch via inheritance. The specific function that gets called at runtime depends on the type of the struct.

Inheritance has proven powerful but often results in confusing code. The development of interface-based (non-inheritance) dynamic dispatch in COM and Java, and later embraced by Go and Rust, shows that we can get what is arguably the primary benefit of OO with a flat structural approach.
I doubt it as many people mention it has great benefit on dogs, and their diet is pretty much all that.

I got PTSD reading the list of sign-up complaints; it goes double for the extra hoop-jumpery of adding 2FA for each newly created account.

Zulip, or even Mattermost a little bit, offers unlimited hosting for open source communities, and not this "we're going to throw your messages in the trash" stupidity that Slack is doing. It's a grave disservice that Slack is doing to those communities
Sony REON POCKET in USA (Got it working in USA) 1/3
Ignoring splashy US web content about how great it is - these folks never tried REON POCKET, aka fake news. Anyone who tried to get Sony's new personal Air Conditioner ( REON POCKET ) working in the USA is in for a very rude surprise. Sony has limited REON POCKET to Japan customers only. In iOS they do that by requiring your Apple ID be associated with Japan, which must have a Japan address and Japan phone number! Similar challenges with Android store. Further Sony requires an upgrade upon install that also requires a Japan IP address.(1/3)
Meh, I think this whole argument is wrong. Software "bloat" is fine.

I'm reminded of this [1] article comparing Bruguet and Carson numbers. You have ever cheaper hardware. The marginal utility of any given unit of new, equally serviceable computing power is going to be less than the previous one. So eventually if something can be 2% better/more functionality, etc. at 10x the bloat it is rational to accept that. When you have lots of something you become less efficient in how you use it. If you're surprised by that go and read economics.

The Ergodox EZ actually uses a four-connector TRRS connector, not the three-connector TRS connector you use for ordinary stereo headphones.
I do see this as a gap/opportunity in a lot of existing markets. Huge players who dominate these areas are doing so with these giant, slow, unwieldy web apps. Look at how Figma managed to take over in the design market by creating a lighter/faster product than what everyone else was offering. I wholly endorse any other teams that want to use Wasm to kick stagnant old web apps off their thrones.
Create a world in which it is possible to say "Trans stuff sounds like baloney to me" without that assertion being a threat to the survival of such people and then you can have enthusiastic scientific debates about exactly what is going on with some people and why on Earth do they do things like dress like the "wrong sex" and choose to undergo invasive surgeries.

As long as trans individuals face barriers to employment, barriers to housing and are at risk of being murdered simply for being who they are, this will remain a very touchy issue.

We live in a world where being "the wrong kind of people" -- in ways that have absolutely nothing to do with trustworthiness or character or criminal behavior -- condemns people to a lesser life and where the world will act with enormous callous disregard for your welfare to an outright abusive degree and feel okay about it and like you shouldn't complain.

Being LGBTQ, a person of color or even just female or poor can qualify you for such treatment and your complaints about being treated abusively will fall on deaf ears. No one will care. You will be told to quit your whining and stop acting entitled.

So people being victimized try to argue "the science" because that's more socially acceptable. Otherwise they have zero voice if they politely go along with society's position that there isn't a problem and you should be neither seen nor heard because of who you are, much less voice complaints about the terrible quality of life you have due to details you didn't choose and cannot escape, try though you might.
Just for reference, $35T is the total market cap of the US stock market.
My university is a mixed bag. We had an ethics discussion in a 101 course that seemed beneficial. However, the other "ethics requirements" seem like a way to shove political propaganda down the throats of students who would have otherwise avoided it by their choice of major.

Requiring CS, CoE, and EE majors to take courses on the humanities - without making any statement about the merits of those courses - the sort of thing that the university decides based on its political and financial goals, not based on its desire to create stronger CS professionals. A course with a title like "CS Ethics" sounds much more relevant and beneficial than "African American Womyn's Studies", which is the sort of thing I would have to take to satisfy my university's ethics requirement if I hadn't satisfied it with AP testing.
Thank you; I think you answered my question.

Basically, in software, you can choose to open-source your software as marketing if you want, but proprietary is still a sustainable business model. The claim here (which I am in no position to evaluate) is that for music, you no longer really have any choice: selling music itself is no longer a sustainable business model; you can only give it away in hopes that you can sell something else as a result.

That is pretty depressing.
> "The artists today that are making it realize that it’s about creating a continuous engagement with their fans. It is about putting the work in, about the storytelling around the album, and about keeping a continuous dialogue with your fans.”

FU.
A musician's job is to create music. Period. It's hard enough on it's own.
Sounds great. The amount of dodgy and creepy stuff Facebook does on tge daily shouldn’t be rewarded. Remember when they kept crashing their Android app For some users just to AB test their reaction or when they tried to research how to algorithmically manipulate peoples’ mood? I’d be glad they allowed this to go on this long...
I use Siri regularly to add reminders and control Apple Music while I’m driving and that’s about it. Hands free is the only utility IMHO.
With Spotify, you don't "have" any music, you are at their mercy.

Sony REON POCKET in USA (Got it working in USA) 2/3
Being that I am a techie, I decided to throw down the gauntlet with Sony, and see if I could make it work (I did). So, Skype will give you a Japan phone number for $5, and a simple google search can find a real Japan address (I used a Tokyo FedEx location - zip code is first in listing xxx-xxx format). I also used Tunnel Bear (free) to VPN to Tokyo, which tricked app stores and Sony upgrade servers into thinking I was in Japan. A simple app store search for REON POCKET (using VPN) yielded the software. I had trouble with Android, but that could have been because it was a tablet not a phone, not sure. Since Apple will not let you change your iPhone REGION code without a serious penalty (wont let you change it back for a long time), I opted to get one of my old iPod Touch that I use for app development.
That's fair to complain about rent-seeking aspects of SaaS, but credit cards existed before the word SaaS was ever used, and subscription services existed long before computers did.

Thing is, even if merchants didn't buy a new $100 terminal, if they're already accepting credit cards with an old terminal, they're already paying a subscription fee and a percentage of transaction, so in this specific case, it is $100 cash. (Pedantically, it's closer to $300 https://www.merchantequip.com/processing-equipment/wireless-...)
The problem is that "4.0" sorts before "4.0-alpha.1". Not saying that 3.99 is better, but something's gotta give.
That was already gone when people stopped listening to music a CD at a time.

That is not the only thing that he said, it was the opposite to make his previous statement more prominent.

Congratulations on being caught by the title and completely missing the whole argument.

Imagine if I came out and said: "I'm an atheist and I don't need God to tell me to treat people well, love freedom, help the needy and be a nice person... no longer can I justify killing, pillaging and raping using the word of God."

And you put all focus on "I justify killing, pillaging and raping using the word of God"
Thanks. The app sorts and I messed up. So strike my comment with response to Europe. But still the main point is that Androids are cheaper.
When push comes to shove Apple should just let people install Android on iPhones
IMO there are very, very few nations who can truly understand the mindset of Jewish people. Only those that faced systemic extermination have the means for comparison. Armenians, Roma and a handful of others.

Though I'm not Jewish myself I fancy myself a big supporter of their plight to have a safe country where they can live without fearing expulsions or genocide.
This is somehow correlated with the idea of knowing 'about' a thing vs knowing a thing. News, in a large majority of cases, is something that you learn about. Its not something you experience directly. In most cases, the most useful knowledge pertains to those things that you do or likely would soon experience directly, so news is therefore a mostly useless pastime.

And if there's an upcoming election, you can always just read the candidate's stated policies and record of voting.
That's from 2012 when the language was in version 0.1. We're now in version 1.4 (1.5 launching soon!). At this point, 3.1% of the julia git repo is femptlisp (scheme), but I can assure you that is not being used for any heavy lifting or scientific computations. It's for the parser.
