Apple is a small, although significant, part of ARM's total market share. And that 25x is, as I said, without taking into account the premium. If you do, and there are good arguments to do so, the valuation growth is 35x, in almost 20 years.

Regarding innovation, ARM's been at it since 1990. I'm sure it's not the same now as it was 30 years ago, but we're well past the point where one can reasonably fear it to be an unsustainable business. Last time I heard numbers, they were talking about more than 50 billion devices shipped with ARM IP in them. That is a massive market.

You don't answer my question. Why wouldn't licensing businesses work as publicly traded companies? What's the fundamental difference, specially in an increasingly fabless market, between a company licensing IP to other companies and a company selling productized IP to consumers?
The people who were able to pump billions of EUR into KLM. So basically VVD. It doesn't really seem to matter that others have a different opinion. What matters is that billions go into an unsustainable company, were I mean unsustainable on basis of money.

Follow the money did an article on KLM. Giving money to KLM is like throwing your money away, it such a poor investment. It's worse than just donating. Instead of that you could also e.g. invest that money in the off-gas transition. Meaning, insulate houses. That would help the economy, help the ecological goals, etc. Instead, KLM gets money but in a weird way, all kinds of unrealistic conditions.

It's interesting how it doesn't make sense to give KLM money either ecological wise, nor economical. Still, they get billions.

You aren't wrong. Until extremely recently, algebraic geometry was a field by and for the purest of the pure mathematicians. These days algebraic geometry has made its way into string theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gromov%E2%80%93Witten_invarian...

A couple of his contributions:

1. A far reaching generalization of the Riemann-Roch theorem, which is now called the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem. As with a great deal of his work, it's about drawing conclusions about global structure from local data:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann%E2%80%93Roch_theorem

2. Creating the machinery used to solve the Riemann hypothesis for finite number fields.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weil_conjectures

His work wasn't focused on solving particular problems so much as it was on finding the right language with which to describe problems. The philosophy is that, with the right language, your proofs should become obvious. This is somewhat in the same spirit as Leibniz's quest for the 'Universal Characteristic'.

This was exactly my reaction as well. They tease the price by saying it's only for rich people and then give us a price that seems far too cheap for the effort involved, and affordable by most middle-class families in Japan. In the United States I can't help but think that would cost $100k or more.
Whenever I see comments about Engelbart and co focusing on their invention of the mouse, I'm reminded of a tribute[0] Bret Victor wrote about Engelbart after his passing.

The NYTimes headline for Engelbart's obituary read "Douglas C. Engelbart, Inventor of the Computer Mouse, Dies at 88". In response, Victor writes, "This is as if you found the person who invented writing, and credited them for inventing the pencil." That is to say: English, Engelbart, and the other folks working on NLS had a much larger goal: augmenting human intellect. The mouse (along with the chorded keyboard and other mechanisms for interaction) was one component of that. An important one, but one nonetheless. It has been transformative, yes. But perhaps the most important aspect of the legacy of Bill English and his colleagues is not in what they built, in what they shipped, but rather in what their goals were.

I highly recommend reading Bret Victor's piece (as well as his other writings). There's also a really solid book on the era in which NLS was created, the ups and downs of building (and funding) it, and its impact. It's called _What the Dormouse Said_ [1] by John Markoff.

Lots of software works on ARM on Linux... but it doesn’t always work as well as on Intel. I think there’s quite a lot of work to be done to get various parts of a complete distribution working as well as we’d like for server and desktop usage, outside of the more limited embedded role it’s already widely deployed in.
No, they're focusing only on the title. People on HN are no better than the people who get their news from Facebook memes. They just _think_ they're better.

Why P2 Changed Automattic
For the higher income classes it’s that class themselves who decides how much they are earn. They sit on each others’ boards, run investment funds and so on. They mingle with politicians who then create favorable laws.

There is is no input from people with lower income. It’s an insider group that negotiates and deals with itself.
The linked article supports my position: people claim to have voted for brexit because of X, but when facts come in and disprove X, they claim it was Y. Rinse, repeat.

People need to stop pretending they had a viable reason for their vote. If they admitted it was just personal preference I'd accept that. But pretending it was logical when it wasn't is frankly insulting.
Priority one is get yourselves set up financially for the rest of your life.

It's entirely possible that this may be your one and only big financial win in your entire life.

So make sure you bank $5M cash each before spending the money ...

Consider cutting down to no employees if practical. I'm not saying you should do that, just that you should consider it. Employees cost huge money.

Then, once you've got all that sorted out, if you want to do the big expansion thing .... go for it.

remoteStorage is pretty cool, and it's a shame that neither it nor something like it has really taken off yet. The spec has some rough edges, though—in particular the protocol requires a smart server to handle the network requests, when it should be fairly straightforward to define a "static" profile that can turn most commodity dumb hosts (Neocities, GitHub Pages, etc.) into a user store. I'm convinced that this seemingly minor design tweak would give remoteStorage a new life and cause it to spread like wildfire.

The spec gets periodically refreshed/resubmitted. It last happened a couple of months ago and is set to expire at the end of the year.
Phrasing here is weird how "non skilled" people in for a "tough right", but for skilled people this news is "appalling".

Seperately, I'm a developer and I stopped working in March due to reasons unrelated to COVID-19 and now I'm finding it exceptionally hard to get back in and find a job.
The c++ library argument is funny to me because it’s so incredibly difficult to import external projects in c++. This is where Rust is going to eat their lunch.
I feel like the case you're trying to make that JK is a "normal" person and therefore her views are common. This isn't an instance where someone who happens to hold an unorthodox opinion is caught by people trying to apply labels to her. She isn't getting caught up in the fight between feminists and the broader cultural push for trans acceptance. She's been on the front lines of this fight for years and years. It just happens that one, people are starting to actually care about trans people and two, JK decided to start venting more publicly on the largest outrage machine on the internet.

Very few people are TERFs. It's a relatively uncommon set of beliefs which are separate from the kinds of views that might get you called transphobic.
You know Apartheid South Africa freed Nelson Mandela?

Indoctrination North Korea would kill for, never mind China: George Washington "freed slaves".

Aside from owning (more than 300) human slaves, George Washington "yanked" the teeth from their heads for his own personal use[0], and he doesn't get enough credit for not doing that any more after he died either.

Sorry didn't mean to offend you. However I'd urge you to stay optimistic — you made a great thing that inspired and taught a lot of people and probably had a lot of fun while making it! Not everything needs to be measured in shekels.

The only mistake you seem to have made is that you didn't quit soon enough which is a story as old as the idea of collaborative project itself and I think people will continue making it.
It was probably a small department that ran this startup and quiet possible did not know what was going on at the top although there where always a lot of rumours.
Theres been plenty of ARM support on Linux the issue if I am not mistaken is that ARM isnt a processor its a spec you license and manufacturers go from there so code between processors should be completely icompatible even within the same manufacturer. You see discussions about it on HN plenty of times. Theres plenty of ARM based devices out there though due to the rising popularity of SBCs. Then we have the Pinebook and similar devices.
How Do People 'Die from Old Age'?
No, I think what I was saying was more a reminder more than anything. Understanding limits is useful in a conversation like this.

I don't think someone is more likely to get caught, do you have any sort of documentation to indicate that? I suspect crimes of opportunity might be more likely to be caught I guess, but not someone with any foresight.

If a thief goes in under the impression the house has a security system, it would be easy enough to prevent recognition. Oversized jacket, hat, some sort of mask. All of it nondescript/black, no logos, etc. Apply a little bit of thought to this and it's easy.

In my area, cops aren't likely to show up immediately anyway. Someone would have minutes, not seconds, to get in and out. Maybe in an area with private security or with a larger police force.

That all said though, I think people's fear of crime is much larger than reality. As I said, I think the only value I'd personally find in a system like this is the fire alerts and an emergency button to hit if necessary.
And will home owners insurance give you the "security system discount" if it's not a professionally monitored system?

Anarcho-capitalist, libertarian, and individuals that hold high-amounts of those related beliefs have very few basic laws that govern their world views (1-3, depending on who you ask). If you believe that the fruits of your labor are yours and yours alone with no exception, then no amount of talk of "union stomping", "historic injustice" and "external factors" will change the interpretation of the fact that taxation is violating that principle.

So I fully understand how you think his views are utra-reductionist.
Indeed. I cross a lot of party lines with my beliefs and it's almost a case of diglossia with the way I have to phrase arguments towards the group I'm talking to. You can have one central idea but the way you have to word it makes it sound repulsive to the counterpart of the group you're addressing.

Yeah it's totally because China is "evil" and not because we're losing our edge.
That's interesting. Did some light reading just now and I see that STEP is already considering feature-based descriptions. I have lots more reading to do, I am pretty ignorant about STEP!

Is this a real post?

How are people supposed to record, for the purpose of later review, the actions of a un-identified set of people?
Active defense is another option. It is possible to set up a trap such that when certain canary resources are modified they trigger an action to disconnect and lock out the offending user account as well as alert admins to the issue.

98% of the time this will be triggered by an admin performing a task that just happens to touch that resource, but it is incredibly helpful the other 2% of the time.

"At least 20 of the undercover officers deceived women into intimate, sexual relationships.

The women had no idea that they were having relationships with men who were police spies. Some of the undercover officers had relationships with more than one woman during their undercover missions.

After the existence of the covert operation began to be exposed in 2010, the women grouped together and successfully took legal action against the police. So far, the police have paid compensation to at least 12 women who were deceived by the undercover officers."

What Is MTLS and How Does It Work?
I think some people in this thread are recalling interviews or talk shows with Sowell, while others are referring to his books. In video I have seen of him, I can agree he can be flippant on some topics... maybe the format of the television interview or "debate" or "round-table" would leave the impression that he hasn't thought carefully about these things. I'd recommend his books and essays.

The notes on political corruption and union stomping over the past 60 years are intriguing, do you have any good references to solid academic sources on these or related topics?
FWIW, Qantas is an an abbreviation (originally Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services), so there's no "U" after the Q.
There is no Republican Snopes because conservatives, since the Enlightenment, don't do sense making that way (i.e. via institutional consensus). At the end of the day unless you were personally there to witness something or can prove something mathematically or do the science yourself, you are ultimately dependent on some network of trust to inform you of the truth or falsity of something. And even then "true" and "false" outside of logical and mathematical domains is entirely dependent on ones values. That's not to say there's no objective universal set of values.

Most people are Liberal (in the American sense) because that's what all the organs of culture promote and reinforce. It's like the "default" position that people adopt. I grew up liberal in a liberal household where we watched Hollywood movies and mainstream news like ABC, NBC, PBS and I listened to NPR and I went to school which was run by generally liberal teachers and administrators and that's pretty much why I was liberal.

This is the Cathedral vs the Bazaar approach to sense-making.

> This should not be happening in the United States. A person cannot be constitutionally arrested without charge, without being read his rights, and without the arresting officials identifying whom they work for and into whose custody the arrestee is being taken or where he is being taken.

This is at least partly false. First, you need to be Mirandized before being interviewed. You do not need to be Mirandized at the moment you are being arrested.

“The Miranda warning (from the U.S. Supreme Court's Miranda v. Arizona decision), requires that officers let you know of certain facts after your arrest, before questioning you.”

Second, you can be arrested with reasonable suspicion even if no charges are ultimately brought;

“In the U.S. and its territories, FBI special agents may make arrests for any federal offense committed in their presence or when they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed, or is committing, a felony violation of U.S. laws”

Third, you can be legally arrested by plainclothes officers that identify themselves as police. In some jurisdictions you can even be arrested by another citizen.
That’s what I’m wondering. The internet has sharpened so many viewpoints (not in a good way) . My question is sincere and curious. There might be lots of pressure to push opinions in one direction or another but that’s not conformism, quite the opposite.
My guess is that English is a second language for the author.
I find it comforting that both the left and the right in the UK is convinced the BBC is hopelessly biased against them. They must be doing something right.

(I'm being slightly flippant - I am aware how it's possible to be wrong on both counts. However I do think calling the BBC a "Conservative mouth-piece" when many on the right of the Tory part think the BBC is left-wing and beyond repair is a little unfair)
The majority here don't talk about security. They talk about privacy. Google's business model is incompatible with privacy.
What is your alternative system?

It's very easy to point out that nothing is perfect. It's very difficult to come up with a better solution.
Not a clue as I don't use them. I think there are cheaper systems out there that provide fire/emergency options. Simplisafe for instance, haven't looked in awhile so I could be wrong, provides fire alerts and things like that.
What he does not point out is exploitation of the working class by the wealthy. However, do not expect to see that in his books. You can always claim that there are too many people looking for work so it is natural that wages are pushed down blah blah. But think for a second does it really have to be that way? Can Bezos afford to pay more to his employees?
1) There are protestors 2) They are doing things 3) "Protestors are doing things" is a lie because they might not "actually" be part of the protestors but instead be false-flag undercover agents?

That's wild. You can't have a functioning press under those assumptions, because you don't know for absolute certain that everything is the way it looks. Donald Trump might be a long-term agent of the Democratic Party aiming to damage the Republican Party. Of course, it doesn't look that way on the surface, but you never know. Saying he's a Republican is "a lie" by those standards.

>They work, but only if there are people dedicated to setting them up, enforcing workflows and maintaining them.

This is true for most business software and very true for something like a PLM, and double super extra true for Autodesk PLM where it’s so unintuitive, clunky, “ Enterprisey” that no one wants to learn or use it without being required to.

Now, consider it like a really bad JIRA but at $75-150 per month. I’m probably overselling it still.
I certainly don’t change my employer as often as I vote.
That's pretty much been our position exactly. Preparing is even more difficult because the final terms of Brexit are still undecided so we don't know what to prepare for.

Preparing for the worst possible outcome for me would mean relocating everything (both business and family) to the EU except for staff, whom would no longer have jobs. This is obviously an ass-ache so I'm not going to do that unless I have to.

On the other hand living somewhere with better weather could be nice so I'll take things as they come.
Maybe, but a well told lie told by The One Authority on Truth has more destructive power than a billion chaos monkeys typing on their typewriters for the next hundred generations.
I was thinking more along the lines of a true spectrum, like a percentage system. What you have here is a bunch of qualitative truthiness symbols decided arbitrarily, it's not much different from just saying true or false.

For example, https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/marijuana-electron-microsc... this article would lead a passerby to believe that there is equal parts truth and lie in this picture + caption. In reality I would judge this as 'mostly true' because the caption is more true than it is false.
This is one of those shortcuts we use to cut out complexity, but in process, we create blind spots for ourselves.

It is not reasonable to expect things to either have opinions or not. An adult should have the sophistication to read something and understand what is opinion and what is fact. I get that many adults these days apparently lack that ability, but that doesn't excuse it.
This looks great! Too bad it gives me a headache.
If you are supporting Windows or Linux, and are supporting the x86 platform, then for me the only reasons to use C++ over Rust are for compatibility with existing code/libraries, or lack of Rust expertise on the team and no time to learn Rust.

If you are working in an embedded environment Rust is still very capable, but the tooling for Rust does not seem at the level of the embedded tooling for C and C++.

You can still use Rust for embedded, and there are success stories to be found in the links below.

"Corruption" is the wrong word, but from a Marxist frame, owners of business (which is what's actually talked about in Marx) profit by collecting more labor (and therefore value) from their workers than they pay them. It's usually called "exploitation" and it's pretty central to Marxist theory.

"[...] and it's one of the reasons the country still has by and large a shared reality when it comes to political discussion."
Shared reality is quite a cynical word and is a reminder just how bad it really is.

"I don't think that they also provide entertainment is in any way problematic, because entertainment is part of a cultural offering that should be accessible by everyone. I don't really see the competition issue here, just like the BBC they produce content, which is fine."
How is it not unfair if you compete in the exact same market with a publicly funded corporation[1]?

"Has to be said though in quality it doesn't really measure up to the BBC, but you can try to claw Tatort from my dead hands "
It is basically on par with ntv, Welt and doesn't really measure up to ServusTV. They all share one thing with ARD/ZDF tho and that is advertisement.

[1]: Open any site of public funded TV and look for "Unternehmen" (Corporation) also they have a lot of for-profit corporations spun off, so there is no point calling it a public institution when in fact it is not.
