Perhaps “sweetheart” isn’t the best description but he did make an executive order specifically targeting TikTok putting the company in position where their bargaining power is more limited. TikTok having to choose between fighting the current administration in court or selling to an American buyer within some fixed time period likely is advantageous to the buyer no matter who buyer is.

My 1 year old twins have been trying to play with my wife and I's phones since they were old enough to start grabbing stuff. They also make for great little distractions during diaper changes when they'd otherwise try to sit up or flip around. We usually lock the screen before we let them play with the phones, but occasionally I'll let them swipe and tap around just to see what they can figure out.
Emacs of course has long supported menus but I think every serious user would agree that it's not necessarily a love child. I agree with you that it is the strength of menus in general that they allow for easy discoverability of functionality. However, at the same time, Emacs provides other ways to the same end.

Simple interfaces are especially useful for newcomers, I agree to that point as well. At the same time, most power-users of Emacs do not use the mouse at all. While not everyone aspires (or even should aspire) to become an Emacs power user, the question might be asked at what point it would be wise to switch from mouse-based use to keyboard-based use as you progress? Does it even make sense to first learn an interface you're better off ditching at some point as your expertise raises?

Simply not true. I suggest you try yourself and see how long the account stays unlocked.
This might be a different kind of route you'll want, but if you want to read from the source, look up "Songwriters On Songwriting: Revised And Expanded" which has personal in-depth interviews, including a variety of pop history stars.

Considering the Damage China Done to US, It's fair deal.
I do not know that India has the capacity. Russia could, potentially, reduce the cost of Angara to about what an expendable Falcon 9 costs. Call it $50M per launch. But then you have to ship the satellites to Russia. Amazon still need to acquire 6 launches a year (assuming they can launch 60 satellites at once, which is totally unclear atm). That would be more than the currently planned launches and might require substantial investment into the production facilities.

So far there are at least five "maybes" in the equation:

1. amazon launching from Russia in large numbers
2. Khrunichev lowering the price of a single Angara significantly
3. Khrunichev being able to produce enough rockets in the first place
4. amazon being able to stack their satellites into the Angara
5. amazon being able to produce enough working satellites in the remaining time frame.

For me that still counts as vaporware.
not what your asking, but I've found the Roku interface on my TV to be really easy to use by all my household members. Solid enough and low impact.

Of course, it does have ADS on the start page for content on services, which might defeat the whole point.
Everyone has their Labor Laws poster printed out and hanging beside their home office desk, right?
Does anyone have a proper replacement for a "smart" TV interface that runs on plain Linux instead of some random Chinese Android box?

My TV is relatively old and the Netflix app just can't keep up anymore. I was considering running some Android TV box but if those show ads now I'm not interested anymore.

Right now my TV is hooked up to my server running Kodi, but I'd like something that plays YouTube at full resolution (as opposed to Kofi's 720p limit because of some obscure dependency issue) and is also capable of running Netflix.

I'll probably have to cave eventually and get myself a Chromecast but if there's an option that doesn't rely on Google, I'd like to hear about it.
A better way to put this is that the causality, if any, is unclear. However, it's very difficult to construct an ethical study on human participants that is designed to show causality. So we're usually left with, at best, a moderately rigorous abductive[1] conclusion.

Thank you for this deconfirming (denying?) example!

The Dutch East India Company and, as another commenter mentioned, colonialism give much food for thought.
It usually fixes the software glitches. The longer the TV runs, the less reliable it is. All of the software problems seemed to be fixed by rebooting the TV.

That's half the story. Apple makes ~10% more this year than last year, but it's more than 2x as valuable as it was a year ago today.

The other half of the story is low interest rates/high asset prices. A year ago federal funds rate was ~2%; today it's ~0%.
In the long term exponential growth is physically impossible because it would imply infinite GDP. Even if apple's value is currently growing exponentially it will eventually stop.
Sorry I should have clarified: all throughout the 90s.
Whether it gets repaid or not has no bearing on the fact that taxpayers were robbed and their future taxes were used in large part to prop up an historically overvalued stock market completely detached from traditional P/E ratios.

Plus the working class will be made to suffer as their measly incomes, taxed at significantly higher rates than capital gains, will be worth even less due to devaluation of the dollar and inflation.
There's no reason that somebody's first exposure to bare-metal programming should be with the ISA they actually want to understand in practice, though.

Although no obvious example is springing to mind (any help?), I'm pretty sure there are cases where it's faster to teach someone—even an adult!—a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie-to-children model of a system, and then teach them the actual system, than it is to teach them the actual system from the start.

I believe that, for the same reason I believe that people get better at the reflex skills of a video game if early parts of the game hold back some of the game's mechanics, focusing on only a core subset. You're allowed to develop just those sub-skills in isolation, and get good at them, so that they can become subconscious-enough that you won't be distracted thinking about them any more by the time the new sub-skills are introduced.

Honestly, I think a great way to learn bare-metal programming would be to not work with bare-metal at all, but rather to work with a virtual machine for a custom ISA, where that supported ISA has 100 different sub-variants (ranging from very simplified to very "realistic") and the VM supports all of them. You'd learn to work with the simplest ISA (e.g. target a compiler backend to it), then learn the next-simplest (and tweak your compiler to also emit the new instructions introduced), etc. Evolve from RISC to CISC, from stack-based to register-based, from SISD to SIMD, gradually add vector instructions, etc.

By the end of a process like that, you'd understand a (fake) ISA nearly as complex as x86-64; but more importantly, you'd understand the why of it, not just the what. You'd understand the history behind each instruction, and why it has the options/limits it does. At that point, learning x86-64, or AArch64, or whatever else, would just be "learning the vocabulary", with no new skills per se.
Why do people on this website take this seriously? Is that because this whole stuff is incredibly in fashion in SV?

I can visualise myself as Hitler; for all it is I can also visualise how I could consciously go all the way with whatever methods he employed.

I like to use Hermit[1] to browse sites that have a dedicated app for viewing (Reddit, Instagram, and Twitter are of note). It's marketed as a "Light app browser". and lets you add your own with relative ease. Unfortunately they do not have an iOS version[2] yet -- but the Android experience is quite decent.

As far as I recall, we registered our trademark in the US and EU, and it wasn't super expensive. That said, we waited a few years until we did it, when it started to feel a bit more important / the cost more negligible.

So far, the only tangible benefit of having the trademark was that we were able to claim a dormant Twitter account with our name. But I can imagine it can help in the longer run as well...
Yes, in China, it's a different app, called Douyin. (This is probably why the icon looks like a letter 'd'.) ByteDance says they're operationally separate from TikTok as of 2019.

It's also not that hard to get the information from other sources too.

If your scenario happened in the 90s, it might have been before the DPPA law took effect.

The author has a clear bias and is using an event that took place before the protections were in place to further their agenda.
If you can't type, I'm not sure the mouse is going to get you much ahead either ;-)

But it's true that there might be a certain class of users with impediments for which a different input modality setup could be very beneficial. However, note that standard Emacs already provides menus and mouse support, it's just not what is commonly the focus of the editor.
Yeah, they probably did a partnership for extra visibility (Protocol labs could even have paid them to build it, as it increases the perceived value of IPFS and hence Filecoin). It still doesn't tell anything about demand.

Interestingly in William Gibson's novel Spook Country part of the plot involves the hand-off of several iPods to an ex-CIA agent throughout the book. Read it a while ago so I am not sure he ever elucidated what they contained.
I grew up in a developing country. In some ways (e.g. quality of roads or number of homeless per mile) my home country is even better than California. Have you lived in a developing country? (Hint: It's not as bad as you think) The fact that it's kinda of comparable to California in some ways while California is collecting so much tax on top of federal budget is baffling.

Have you ever talked to, or even read the writings of, someone who actually does drug development? See for example https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2019/05/28/wh... (Derek Lowe does a lot of writing about this).

The starting point to realize about drug development is that 90% of our drug candidates fail. And that's only considering candidates that make it to an initial drug filing, which is itself a tiny fraction of compounds considered internally.

If investing in ETFs/index funds is morally blameworthy, which is already questionable, the blame surely lies with active fund managers and their outrageous costs driving people into the arms of low-cost instruments that, net of fees, have had better performance.
Numerate people understand debt is driven by ideology.

Enough people need to be enabled with skin in the game to jettison social narratives that elites must rule.

Debt is a fascistic social object intended to enable grift of the aristocracy.

It could be described in plainer math terms. But cortexes have had “facts” like “because a person has a lot of money they’re extra important” coded into them such that that’s all our limbic system can trigger as a response.

A lot of smart people hold conflicting belief there are no gods and their own personal skills make them invaluable.

France can’t even sort out who “holds” all of its national debt.

Why would the next generation or two not just argue to change the nature of this rather than feel beholden to all the people debating this today who will be long dead by then?

Nation states have hit “reset” on debt in the past. “People today” need to climb out their own arse and realize it’s not the first and last day of human existence.

Consider the real messes, environment and human tragedies, your culture is perpetuating.

Not the illusory idea that economists are more useful than real doers to a community. A lot of professional experts are just grifters extracting capital like you.

Cognitive science is showing muscle memory and hands on doing is more important than intellect and wealth when it comes to solving problems. “Educated” administrators who peddle context as king test lower on reading comprehension and have trouble thinking outside the box.

It’s not “government” that’s bad. That’s a logical straw man. Government is humans. It’s enabling human biology to exist in the state of feeling invulnerable. It leads to entitlement and fascistic defense of unrealistic idea any one or handful of people are that important.

They don’t have an information advantage. They have a social narrative advantage we’re trained from childhood to abide no different than children being taught to abide god. Elites falling will mean end times!

It’s just people saying things, doing things. Which people doesn’t matter. History clearly shows there will always be someone on every side of wavey debate. Using ones wealth to boost their side of the debate is authoritarian and anti-free market.

America is an oligarchy. Just like all of its “enemies”.
I don't know why anyone would bother with the first party app when there are a bunch of really nice 3rd party ones with all sorts of additional features. All the one's I've used have been free with premium versions that only cost a few bucks.

If we are doing discounted cash flow analysis, apple made about 70 billion in free cash flow. From the balance sheet balance sheet they have about 100 billion in tangible assets. So if we take 1900/x=70 years which would imply a rate of 4% which is reasonable. However how many companies have been on top for 30 years?

The whole market seems insanely overvalued during a pandemic. The entire stock market cap is 1.6x gdp. which is greater than the .com crash. This is one of the things buffet talks about.

The problem is that if the box is Android TV, it's now displaying ads.

Android TV (Shield) is now the last remaining Android device in my household. I've transitioned to Apple devices over the last couple of years as my frustration with the google "ecosystem" grew. I guess I'll give Apple TV a go next.

Being annoying and arrogant is bad performance in itself: you are producing irritation and resentment (e.g. giving the impression that rules apply to everyone else).
The same thing happened to Imgur where they slowly stripped features from the mobile site to force users onto the app, culminating in preventing mobile users from even logging in at all.
Reddit shows the same fucking message on nearly every page, which is the worst possible implementation you could have. As with others commenting here, I refuse to use Reddit on mobile anymore.

You don't need to track users forever on end to only show messages a small percentage of the time. Just showing it sometimes on a new visit is good enough to not be annoying. Even better if you wait for a few site interactions before even considering displaying the message. Also, don't show messages more than once for users who have logged in.

This is not a difficult problem to solve. Companies just refuse to understand that no-means-no.
P/E ratio has been pretty consistent and reasonable in the 30s.
Epic vs. Apple: Why Economists Think Fortnite Creator Is Winning
The narrative around screen time seems to have been totally overthrown by the coronavirus. A year ago the health authorities were recommending limiting childrens’ screen time. Now at a public school in California our children have mandatory three hours of screen time per day.

It just goes to show that these recommendations are not really based on science. It’s more like they are based on guesses by reasonable people when the science isn’t really that confident one way or the other. My personal suspicion is that some forms of screen time, like video calls with family or educational apps, are good for kids. And some forms, like watching TV, are bad for them.
If an app is on the Web, it's my choice whether I use it or not. I don't need Apple's permission and I don't need to pay them for using it.

Also, Apple's stubborn insistence on lock-in (and lock-out) is really annoying if many of your contacts are not on Apple platforms.

There are clearly trade-offs, and there is a lot of valid criticism of the Web, but I'm really glad that the Web exists as a sort of operating system that guarantees some freedoms that native platforms are increasingly taking away from us (although not all of them are as paternalistic as Apple).
Not the OP, but I think it's an "Interesting" Metric (which is a more easily defensible/explainable term), rather than necessarily a "good metric" (which we'd get bogged down defining because it assumes a specific goal which people are less likely to share).

Comparing apple to Tesla is a bit rich, no? I don't know where Tesla will end up but I can't see them being the Apple of cars when the traditional manufacturers finish milking the ICE. It's not impossible but probabilistically I can't see how Tesla convert the share price into business. For example, Tesla's market cap is about 15x bigger than Ford's - but Ford's yearly revenue is about half that market cap.

Yes, in the long term, the universe will succumb to heat death and all value will go to zero. But on any time scale we might like to talk about (our lives, the life of the Earth), it seems plausible that exponential growth could continue (or at least, the long term argument doesn't apply).
