Mark Benioff donated $100M to the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital and got his name on the INSTITUTION (not just a building). What many don't know is that donation was to complete a match of $125M offered by Chuck Feeney (who does not have his name on a building anywhere on the campus, AFAIK).[0]. That $125M was only part of the $394M Chuck ended up giving to UCSF.[1]

>Does a single notice in the lib/zen/std/LICENSE file satisfy the requirement "shall be included in all copies or substantial portions".

Yep. The single files (or substantial portions of them) are not what's being distributed in this case. The Software is the thing being distributed, and it meets the requirements as described in the license (that the original copyright and permission notice be included). Therefore, it is in compliance.
I meant it to refer to both. I had a lot of peers who were using recent MacBooks and would often buy software for their projects. I know many of them used Microsoft Office on their macs too - but whether they could get that free of charge at the time is unknown to me.
Their whole UI is written in ObjC, they've got two decades of Mac apps in ObjC, and they wrote a whole new language to interface cleanly with ObjC but with nicer semantics, so I'm guessing ObjC isn't going anywhere.

But even if Apple does remove it, everything apart from the UI would still compile in GCC's ObjC compiler. The guts of this project is the PDF engine, not the UI, and that would still work. TeX is written in a language that pretty much only Knuth uses, and it's still very much working.
A lot of people who were all-in to the itunes/ipod ecosystem took the upgrade path to Music instead of switching to spotify, including my family. I don't believe Music is substantially better or worse than Spotify. That means it is best-in-class.
Yeah... but it's still 2 years of processor ahead!
> Seriously, who or what I'm bringing home is no one's business.

sure, if you're renting an entire building. less so if you're sharing a building with other tenants.

> Having rented from bankruptcy artists more than once I'd really really appreciate a credit history of the landlord. A repair history of the building would be nice to have, too. Can't move into a place where the roof needs fixing but the owner is too overextended to fix it.

I bet you could get some of this if you offered to pay above market rent or if you show interest in a unit that's been listed for a while.
Sounds like maybe the whole team was handcuffed to the bonus, then everyone left after that? I remember one job where I put in my resignation on the day the bonus money was a confirmed transaction in my bank account, and not a day earlier!
You can obviously give away your wealth or ss an embarrassing counterpoint you can write a book about how hard it is to have money - https://nypost.com/2020/09/14/why-one-very-rich-woman-says-w...
With very few (and even then, extremely capped) exceptions, the US absolutely does not let you deduct donations from your taxes. You’re allowed to deduct your donations from your pre-tax income, which is equivalent to being able to deduct some percentage (typically less than 30%) of your donations from your actual tax burden.

It’s not being pedantic; this changes the calculus altogether. Deducting from your taxes means you can say “oh well, I have to pay $1M in taxes, I might as well just use that money to make a donation to a charity of my choice and gain some PR instead,” whereas deducting your taxable income means “instead of parting with $1M in tax, I would need to part with $5M in charity to zero out my tax burden,” which is a very different decision and still largely a philanthropic one at some level or the other.
So now that this is nearly indistinguishable from the iPad Pro, what does that mean for iPad Pro / ARM Mac?

Only Apple knows, but I wouldn't be shocked if the first ARM Mac is a 2-in-1 convertible that replaces the iPad Pro.
Compare two billionaires.

One stops and carefully donates his money to have the most impact. He ends up "officially broke."

The other doubles down on for profit enterprises, but focuses on those with the most impact, like electrifying a fossil fueled sector of the economy or making us a multi-planetary species. The profits are reinvested to accomplish these goals. He ends up richer than ever.

It isn't clear that the second billionaire is less admirable than the first.

Correct. Then we'd only have the electorate i.e ourselves to blame.
The article is written by lawyers. It's 72 pages long. Did you read it, or just assume that they wouldn't cover the subtleties and nuances you describe above?
Data collection, of course.
Agreed and I want to add that it can go the other way as well. I've interviewed with a few companies that I was ambivalent about going in, but after interacting with some extremely sharp and pleasant interviewers I got quite a bit more excited about the job.
Ok, I've taken a crack at making the title more accurate.
I am amazed at how easily you skip over the fact that this means government gets to spend that money. As if that were some ideal outcome which would solve all problems.

Which government exactly is it that you think is excellent at solving societal problems and spending taxes efficiently?
I wondered about this too. My guess is that there will be a new iPad Pro by February 2021 with an A14X or similar processor (considering that the first Macs with Apple chips will have aomething like A14Z or similar variant).
V is just an open source project. It does not have its own religion, or subculture. On the contrary - the V community is actually very diverse - in thought, background, age etc.

I'd never pay for your compiler. I don't care what features it has over Zig.
Unless Apple is releasing a bike and treadmill I doubt Peloton has much to be concerned with.

But with the Apple product, you're not limited to bike and treadmill. It was demonstrated with all kinds of workout routines.

And replacing a $1,000 Peloton with the far cheaper stationary bike of your choosing will be attractive to some people.
It actually has the A12 Z, not even the A13.
Yeah, the word "broke" is clickbait. $2m for retirement is more than most. It's simply "not extravagant" which I guess from the eyes of the wealthy class may as well be "broke".
Can't wait to see what they have built for laptops with the 5nm fab process. I'm sure this CPU will break some records on its own but a boosted version with more RAM will deliver MacBook Pro level performance.
I think Peloton's largely upper-middle class target market that live in the suburbs or cities can find solid bike trails using Apple maps.

But you're right, it's too early to jump to conclusions.
It will indeed be interesting to see what CPU ends up in the next ultralight Mac notebook; whether they just use this CPU or have something else designed for it.

Either way, I'm crossing my fingers that my 2015 Air hangs on long enough for it's ARM based successor - even if they just did slap this CPU into a new Air it would run circles around my current model.
I would have assumed the "hard part" would be funding in such a structure, since you're not going to be able to operate at the desired level of autonomy with investors, and you're probably not going to sustain yourself without a product to sell - which would be at odd with "working mostly on internal products" as opposed to "selling something that the market wants".

I'm probably missing something here.

If you're interviewing 50 candidates, your process is horrifically broken. As soon as you find an acceptable candidate, hire them. They don't have to be perfect; no hire will be, no matter how much time you spend. You're wasting company time and money.
Absolutely love this capture.

The ISS is between 250-300 miles away in this picture, traveling so fast that a drop of sweat has the kinetic energy of a 44 magnum. And yet the short antenna and circuitry on that little $50 radio can see what amounts to a microwave lightbulb hanging off the ISS well enough to extract a one part in a million fluctuations in power four hundred and thirty seven million times a second.

Pretty wild

> I don't even think Apple currently has a compatible cadence sensor?

It doesn't sound like it would be too hard to do this with computer vision. I guess it would depend on whether the device is positioned where it can see your legs -- or you might be able to figure it out by observing head or shoulder movement.

> iPad Air does more than a computer in simpler, more magical ways.

They keep claiming this, but it’s still not true, and this is why I’m still on the lookout for a new laptop, and not another tablet.

Tablets, no matter how fancy the hardware, are always let down by their locked down software-platform hellbent on making it an appliance rather than a computer you actually own.
If you mean reading in the old-fashioned sense (ie, books), I recommend giving serious consideration to a Kindle Oasis.
2 million is only 0.025% of 8 billion. It's a bit of editorializing to call it "broke" but donating such a huge percentage of his net worth is commendable and he will be living a relatively much more modest lifestyle.
That's the first thing I thought reading your sentence, cron cannot do seconds granularity (I think the lowest was 1 hour on the last OS I was working with).

Why would you ask questions which you know are impossible? That's setting up the candidate to fail.
In the next century we will achieve a state where everyone writes software of some sort. The best free software is built by people solving a problem for themselves or for something they really understand. Stallman will never build a good ed-tech suite. And today's teachers won't either. But the future teachers, all of whom will know how to build some sort of software, will.

It is inevitable.
Why do you think that?

They are distributing a modified copy of the software and including the original copyright and permission notice. Therefore, they are in compliance. It's as simple as that.

If they were distributing the individual files (or "substantial portions" of them) without a copy of the original copyright and permission notice, then you'd be correct. But that's not the case here.

I still don't really understand the context around the Apple fight and it's a huge bummer, since Apple hardware with Nvidia GPUs would be the best combination.

When I used Linux the closed source Nvidia drivers were better than anything else and easily available, the complaints around them seemed mostly to be ideological?

The price complaints seemed mostly about 'value' since the performance was still better than the competition in absolute terms.
A lot (more than you'd expect) of Java projects and libraries depend, directly or indirectly, on the ASM library (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ObjectWeb_ASM), often including a built-in renamed copy. Newer versions of Java add new functionality on the bytecode generated by the Java compiler (in a backwards compatible way, that is, newer versions of Java can fully read bytecode generated by older versions of the Java compiler), and the ASM library has to be updated to understand that new functionality. The Java bytecode verifier has also become more strict, rejecting bytecode generated by older versions of the ASM library and other bytecode generators (things like the "Illegal type in constant pool" error).

And in the particular case of Java 9, they decided to deprecate several things, and quickly removed them in Java 11 (that is: with less than a year warning, and no warning if you follow only the long-term versions). That includes a lot of J2EE classes which previously came with the JRE, and now became external dependencies (with the most recent version of these external dependencies sometimes having slightly different behavior).
What makes you think ARM charges the same for a Neoverse N1 CPU as a Cortex M0 CPU?

That wouldn't make business sense.

Givewell's process is detailed at https://www.givewell.org/how-we-work/process

It's very plausible to disagree with some of their choices. For instance, you might be interested in efficient charitable giving within your country, and bite the bullet of "this means I value starving africans a lot less." The important part is to prompt charities to document costs and outcomes in general (preferably to a scientific standard), so that people can make more informed choices about their donations no matter their values.
Noted - I saw the graphic for USB-C Power Adapter. Looks like it's just the plug side. Maybe we'll keep dragging out lightning forever
But, there's an argument to be made that they would be cross-shopping $500 Amazon-Prime-deliver-tomorrow bikes, to pair with the Apple ecosystem they already have.

I would be scared if I ran Peloton. Their entire MO is the ecosystem; you buy the bike, with the integrated tablet, and use their fitness program. Outside of the top 1% who could drop three grand on the Peloton system without blinking, Apple's whole "$500 dirt cheap bike + $300 brand new iPad (that you may already have) + $30/month Apple One Premier" system (that you may already subscribe to) is killer.

Yeah, you can BYOB to Peloton, but Fitness+ (especially as a part of Apple One now) is dirt cheap. At that point, Peloton (and competing products) basically just has to hope that the workout quality in Fitness+ sucks, which isn't likely (this is Apple we're talking about, they rarely half-ass things).

To be honest - I'm labouring the point for sure. I personally wouldn't care about you getting some fairly anonymous data on me. But it would have been nice if those organising the internet experience had given even a bit of consideration to privacy, as opposed to how to eradicate it.

My real concern is how we have been turned inside out by corporate technology. I mean there was a story going around a couple of years ago that Facebook knew when a couple was going to split up before the couple did!

Its too much!
AFAIK, they launched their first ARM-powered device 27 years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton)
Wow that looks great - thanks for the link!
I believe the way it's usually done is to always parse a tuple, then parse the arrow as a binary operator applied to the two surrounding expressions. This potentially produce a syntactically incorrect AST (e.g. if there is an arrow following a tuple containing numbers), so you need to detect those in another pass and produce the corresponding error.
Is a person who invests that money for-profit but makes giant advancements in maths/science while doing it an equally big giver?

Take for example, Elon musk. Even though he hasn't given monet away to charities like Chuck, his for-profit enterprises like electric cars, solar farms, spacex and possibly neuralink might just have been things that end up equally great for humanity.

So if you have billions I guess timtowtdi.
Capitalism is not premised on buying things you don't need.

Capitalism has been invigorated by people buying things they don't need.

Capitalism has a very different premise than this. When it ran into problems capitalists (particularly in the US and their boosters) opted to double down on just about all of its negatives, rather than consider real alternatives.

I’ve been gaming since the ZX Spectrum. Can’t remember when I was last this giddy for a game.
I think the only reason it's confusing now is that the new iPad Pro looks virtually identical to the smaller iPad Pro. The form factor, display size and resolution, and weight are essentially identical. The key differences are that the Pro has LiDAR, an additional ultrawide camera, a 120 Hz display, FaceID, and larger storage options, while the new Air has a new (and potentially faster) chip and TouchID built into the power button.

The chip generation offset isn't all that uncommon for similar Apple product lines with staggered releases, and in this case both chips are staggeringly fast and are very unlikely to be a bottleneck for iPad workloads!
Think slush and wind.
If we're going to stick to literal definitions of the things in computer science, we should get the forks out and march to the sotrage manufacturers' HQs to force them to accept 1kB is actually 1024 bytes, not 1000.

From my PoV, any functionally complete computational unit (in the context of the device) can be called a core. Should we say that GPUs has no core because they don't support 3D Now! or SSE or AES instructions?

Consider an FPGA. I can program it to have many small cores which can do a small set of operations or I can program it to be single but more capable core. Which one is a real core then?
This was my first thought as well... Learning from hindsight, perhaps we can guess Apple's next move based on what they want 30% of.
Or, even if you want to accept that time frame, Tesla built their own cars. This is the detail of the contract Nikola signed with GM.

It's pretty obvious that there isn't anything here at this point.

Here's a question I've been trying to get an answer to for years. How does compensation at Valve work?

Like, what are the logistics? Their handbook talks about the stack ranking, but it doesn't talk about how that translates into an actual salary.

Who actually sets the salaries? If they have no bosses, who actually hands you the memo that says "this will be your salary next year". Who fills that out and writes down the number?

I assume someone somewhere has to attache numbers to the rankings, I'm curious about that process in a bossless environment.
There is also the 60hz vs 120hz refresh rate which makes quite a big difference.

Agreed. The administrative overhead of AWS is high.
First, I don't care whether it's illegal; lying to people is wrong.

Second, the definitions for fraud vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but the course of action recommended here falls under the common definition of civil fraud:

>"Somebody misrepresents a material fact in order to obtain action or forbearance by another person;

>"The other person relies upon the misrepresentation; and

>"The other person suffers injury as a result of the act or forbearance taken in reliance upon the misrepresentation"

Third, a time limit is not duress unless there are other exigent circumstances. Duress is usually defined as:"threats, violence, constraints, or other action brought to bear on someone to do something against their will or better judgment." Getting someone to accept a slightly lower salary is not 'against their will or better judgement', it's just a negotiation.
Not doing so at least shortly after switching over their MacBooks has been really annoying. We're back to playing "which adapter and which charger this time?" USB-A + other-ports macbooks and lightning for iOS devices was better than the current mess, and they've gone years without fixing it. Oh and then if you find the right cable there's the matter of which port the charger itself has (A or C). Ugh.

"One port, except for this other one, and then also you'll almost never need either of those ports directly so you'll have two adapters for everything".
