Interestingly the top benefactor is Google, as YouTube is #1 for subscription revenue in 2019 according to TechCrunch.

Subscription revenue on Apple's store was $3.6B of ~$50B in 2019, so 7.2% of app store revenue overall.

It's absolutely true that Apple doesn't have a lot of pricing pressure on their 30% fee, since their platform is so compelling and especially since most competitor App Stores charge the same amount. But it's also absolutely false that they have never lowered their rate.
They also have a very nice style manual that is useful reading for anyone who produces ebooks:

It's just a historical fact that GPUs originally evolved to do graphics. What to they're really good at is doing a huge amount of numerical computation in parallel, of which graphics is just a specific use case, and is exactly what you need for ML. If they were invented today, they would be called something else. They're already the specialized hardware you're describing.
Homeopathic approaches can feel just as arbitrary, though. “How did the mathematician know to take a bazillion tiny steps to get here?”, “Which steps in this process are the ones that do anything?”, and “Why can’t they just get to the point?!” are all questions one might ask oneself while in the midst of reading such material.
> "blacklist"

That has already happened in some places, though blacklist/whitelist are still the most common naming convention for that sort of thing.

Blocklist is actually a better name IMO, and I've seen it used in places, and an easy enough change. I don't have any examples I remember of what people might use instead of whitelist though, allowlist doesn't particularly trip of the tongue IMO.

Grandfathering is another common word that I've seen argued against because of its history.
I think it’s just the case that some people are born with intuition or better yet everyone is but some people are born with intuition that is game changing. Ramanujan had a natural intuition for infinite series as Einstein did for relativity and even though their work would have eventually been discovered one way or another I believe their intuition does give the impression they did what would have taken many people to do in a short time in comparison.
Chris Voss also has a Masterclass on negotiation. I imagine it's probably similar to his book, but it's very good.

> I'd love to demand scientific evidence behind all of their assertions, but have (kicking and screaming) come to realize that many important things in life simply don't/can't have studies at my preferred level of rigor.

I've had to unlearn this, and part of my awakening was watching the stagnation of rationalists (myself included) who think a lot and argue about things but rarely take action. So much of rationalism is based on assumptions (due to our inherent inability to capture everything in our models) and those assumptions can be wrong in real life. Rationalists also generally fear uncertainty unless they can describe or quantify it, but this is not always possible. I've learned to let go of hyperrationalism and instead, rely more on using intuitive reasoning and heuristics.

If I hired a coach, I would want one who's more or less an empiricist who can push me to try new things and verify them for myself. Action, even if not perfectly rigorous, produces new information. A lot of stuff we cannot prove actually works in real life.

(I still don't believe in crackpot theories but heuristics at least help me choose between reasonable options.)

I feel like demanding contribution as a response to criticism of open source software is immature. Just because you decided to let everyone see and use your code, doesn't mean someone can't say something negative about it. That is not some sort of privilege reserved for contributors.
My point is that master/slave actually conveys a relationship between two things. It was picked for technical use because of that. Naming something "nigger", even in a technical would do what, offend some other piece of code? If somebody chose an offensive name arbitrarily (like, say, "git"), I would understand the impulse. Though the former is fraught with specific and awful connotations towards a very specific group (American blacks) whereas the latter is simply a general derogatory term (which is tacky, but not unbearably so).
I do think alcohol is qualitatively different in how easy is it to make, though. For MJ you need specific seeds, which you can't just buy at target. Whereas with a google search and a quick trip to the grocery store you're better equipped to make moonshine than the best shiners of prohibition.
$1M in yearly revenue from the app store is nothing... that barely feeds a team of 6 people...

The cards have a very first gen Ryzen feel. There's nothing they just clearly do better than the competition(except having more memory, which is kind of indirectly is analogous with Ryzen generally having more cores than the Intel chips in the same price tier), and still somethings they do a bit poorly in, but AMD is no longer embarrassingly behind. Of course this may not pan out the same way as Nvidia isn't up against the same kind of wall Intel was in the CPU market, so AMD might have a tougher time keeping up, but I'm hopeful that competition is back in the GPU market and will stick around.
Exactly, at the end of the day I feel as if I have collected too much jargon and the real stuff I learned is lost somewhere in all that.

It's like I have accumulated too many shiny stuff, but the real gold is missing/hidden.

That's just compute shaders in DirectX. They also support compute shaders in Vulkan and OpenGL.

A new study of 185 COVID patients found that 90% of the subjects were still seropositive for neutralizing antibodies at the 6 to 8 month time points. B-cells specific to the Spike and to the nucleocapsid coronavirus proteins actually increased over a five-month period. Memory T cells appeared to have half-lives of at least five or six months in these patients, and helper T cells were completely stable over the entire period studied.

Effectiveness of Adding a Mask Recommendation to Other Public Health Measures to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Danish Mask, A Randomized Controlled Trial

Discussion

>a recommendation to wear a surgical mask when outside the home among others did not reduce, at conventional levels of statistical significance, incident SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with no mask recommendation.

Important however

> .. The findings, however, should not be used to conclude that a recommendation for everyone to wear masks in the community would not be effective in reducing SARS-CoV-2 infections, because the trial did not test the role of masks in source control of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Sometimes when people say the word 'claimed' they are not expressing skepticism but are instead being precise. In an E-Prime sense, for instance.

We get to cheat a bit since we live in California so it doesn't really mean anything to open the windows for 20-30 minutes in the winter.

I believe this to be a very underrated disease prevention tool.
I never expect anything other than to be disappointed in Apple hardware. I'm a different animal than their target demo. Small is not cute to me. Smaller means I'm sacrificing something. I can sympathize with the move from USB-A to USB-C. We had to learn the same with the transition from ADB->USB and/or SCSI->USB. The one thing I feel is inexcusable was the removal of the SD card reader.

What does "maxed out" on the battery front mean to you? Every laptop/iDevice comes with a different battery design/shape. Laptop batteries should be like water looking to fill every crack and cranny with more space to store electrons.

As a technologist and parent myself, I find the biggest problem to be the lack of fine grained parental controls. Yes, technology in of itself is not the issue, it is the highly addictive nature of certain software, but on different devices, limiting what they can/can't do is very difficult.

When school started online, my 8 year old was initially really engaged, but then started getting a bit bored once she got into it, and would watch Youtube videos. I was fine with an hour after she finished her school work, but the time she spent watching slowly increased until she wasn't even doing her homework. She'd erase the history on her browser so I couldn't tell how long she was watching for (but fortunately I know the tricks, and was able to figure it out). This led me to blocking Youtube (and all other video sites) on the router. I looked into Youtube kids, but I can't limit it in the ways I want (certain times of day, certain videos), and so I just outright ban it. I also found Youtube too addictive with its short videos, and so now only allow Netflix Kids at certain times.

The best solution IMO would be that I could say something like "these apps/sites need my permission", and then every time she tried watching a video or opening that app, etc, I'd get a notification on my phone asking if I should allow it. That would really put the control in the parent's hands. Could apply to tik tok too - I may be OK with it if my kid has to get permission to post a video, and get permission after every 20 mins of use/watching 20 videos.

Until such controls are available, I just saying a blanket 'no' to some of these apps/sites. She can use them how she sees fit once she's emancipated.
This is a somewhat insidious form of gatekeeping.

Especially considering people make much more money if they have a college degree. Even if you don't understand debt, you understand that. The problem isn't incapability of understanding debt - it's never actually being taught it.

> You want to pay $2 dollars for milk, instead of $20? That's thanks to competition between companies.

It's not though. "The support granted to U.S dairy producers represented approximately [...] 73% of the farmers' marketplace revenue. USDA data also reveals that US dairy farmers operate at a loss, and have a cost of production that is higher than what they earn from the marketplace."[1]

We're subsidizing the low cost of milk via taxes because the marketplace failed to provide both affordable milk and the ability for dairy farmers to make a living.

This is a great question that assumes the responses here are mostly rational (not to minimize how anti-Apple folks feel, which is also legitimate). This is awesome news for small developers.

This is the lower end model. Apple kept the higher end intel mini in the line-up, which means they intend to replace that with something more powerful, which may add the 10G option.
Given how many of my fellow students in college studying math/science were convinced that the required english lit/composition course was a waste of time, and disdained the liberal arts generally, this is a problem that arises early in education somehow.

I was thinking more in terms of iOS apps and games eventually making their way into Mac Mini type of system ($6-700 range). They already have the ecosystem with tons of developers. It would not surprise me if Apple has 5nm GPUs in the works that can surpass Nvidia and AMD by a significant margin.

I am also very interested in what they do with Mac Pro.
Something you're interested in, but don't have the self discipline or resources to learn on your own. For instance I loved math and science but would not have been disciplined enough to organize and follow through with my own course of study. Those became my college majors. On the other hand, I found it trivially easy and effortless to learn things like computer programming and electronics (after the basic intro courses got me started), and have not received any further training in those things, though I use them every day.

So, without identifying a particular subject, match something you're interested in, with a way of teaching/learning, that you're unlikely to be able to provide for yourself. Also, some of those things such as courses at your nearby college, or a conference, have the added benefit of removing you from the daily hurly-burly with your supervisor's blessing.
It's good that he built some side projects and seems like he learned a lot. And the process and write ups are entertaining, but I understand some of the negativity. He comes off as peak tech bro, instead of talking about how he's making the projects for fun or for learning everything is about monetizing or getting views on (admittedly!) poor quality hackathon projects. Dialing down some of the tech bro and the focus on making "products" and I believe the negativity would go away. It doesn't help that his idea process seems to be "what can I make that is like something else, but significantly worse" :). I think it's a great achievement in rapid development, however

States already have similar registries that are not de-identified. Police or other local officials can review these registries almost at will. My provider requires patients to sign an expansive privacy waiver.

The US medical profession completely rolled over and sold out their patients. I can't figure out why, unless it is part of a deal to avoid being pursued or prosecuted for their part in creating the opioid crisis.
Couple comments:

1. This assumes it’s impossible to disincentivize drug usage via really harsh penalties enforced by state power. But look at China, where they have very little drug usage, due to extremely harsh penalties, and extreme social stigma. Individuals don’t get “mind expanding” or therapeutic benefits of drugs, but at least the society is not paying the cost of externalities of drug usage (see San Francisco’s Tenderloin).

2. Not all who do drugs are rational individuals with full information about what might happen if a chemical dependency is established. There are people pressured into drug usage by both legal mechanisms (Purdue Pharma) and illegal mechanisms (e.g a pimp creating a prostitute by forcing a drug addiction on that person). So the implication that there’s no bad actors, and it’s just the state enforcing draconian measures, misses very real cases of bad actors who should be stopped and punished. A legal system that pursues and removes bad actors can help society.

If you can move to a cheaper location and perform your job, your job can be exported to a cheaper country and performed there.

It is possible to outsource jobs overseas, but the additional friction in communication will frequently overwhelm the benefits.

I learned this from watching firms first outsource to New Zealand and then to India, only to pull the work back because the communication and training issues were huge.

It could be a deciding factor - modern smartphones and tablets are already very skewed to content consumption rather than content creation, and iOS devices even more so with their walled garden & app censorship approach.

While its preatty simple to start coding on a Windoss/Linux PC, Android and iOS devices are not self hosting, you need to download an SDK, set device into developer mode, etc. - a barrier in itself. On iOS it's even more complicated if you wanted to write an app for your iPhone and share it with friends - expensive developer subscription & draconian app review!

So my worry is we will loose a generation of developers who would otherwise get to coding and sharing of their creation on PCs if their first and only device is a locked down cosume-only device like an iPhone.
I'm not a military expert, but from what I've read (and watched) my understanding is that the "Seoul sea of fire" scenario is slightly over-egged for the following reasons:

- NK has a LOT of artillery, but the majority of this artillery doesn't actually have the range to target Seoul from within NK.

- To significantly damage Seoul, NK would have to concentrate most of the necessary artillery into a rather small area. That would make the artillery easy for the south to target, and difficult for the north to mobilise away quickly (say if they needed to retreate for whatever reason). It would also leave this force more vulnerable to something like an encirclement.

- Assuming hostilities are unavoidable, there would be little military benefit to NK doing this. It would leave military assets in the south free to retaliate in any way they see fit rather than having to recoup from damage a bombardment would bring. It would also further jeapordise any attempts for a peace settlement, or international aid (which NK would surely need due to its military inferiority when compared with the south).

- It is likely that the north would be unable to hold the border for that long, and would be pushed back, so any potential artillery barrage wouldn't last for long.

- NK has a very weak airforce compared to the south, so the amount of functional artillery it could field would drop quite quickly due to airstrikes.

That said, Seoul being targeted is a terrifying prospect, and it would likely happen in a conflict, but I think you are slightly overstating this scenario.

Also, any attack on Seoul would also hurt the economy of SK yes, but a war with the north probably wouldn't last long enough for that to be a factor (although admittedly this is hard to predict with any certainty). And even if the souths economy contracted, say, 50%, it is still larger than the north by an order of magnitude).
