Well, there are documented cases of evolution happening during our lifetimes.

But I would say as a mathematical process, pretty likely once you have the basic ingredients. Richard Dawkins has written some good popular science books like 'Climbing Mount Improbable' that talks about evolution in this light. His 'Selfish Gene' is also an excellent read. It is slightly more technical but definitely understandable without an immense technical background.
Back when I was making $20k per month working on my own, almost 100% went into my pocket except for taxes.

This is entirely off topic, but the way you phrased your comment makes me think you have experience learning music theory. If so, could you share some resources that you found helpful? I've always wanted to learn music theory (and put it to practice), but besides hiring a teacher I could never get solid recommendations of where to start.
I switched from tahyons to tailwinds like 3 years ago and been using it every since on all my React projects. I have tried all the CSS-in-JS stuff etc nothing compares to the dev speed with Tailwinds. Checkout https://42papers.com it's all tailwinds and has a darkmode too.
I bet design holdover from A-series SoC. It also reduces PCB. I'm exciting to see what RAM is used on higher end M-series SoC.
I was coming from mobile app development when I tried Tailwind (with Vue) and I knew right away that it was architecturally sound. It's the only CSS framework I've ever used since, and I think it's very future-proof.

That said, I really don't like how it's being described as "utility-first". It's very ambiguous language to me even as an experienced programmer, and I've never really seen that phrase used elsewhere. Besides, all that the authors really seem to mean by "utility-first" is that it is "composition-based" as opposed to the more common inheritance-based approach to working with CSS.

Then let there be a new retailer that takes less than Apple. If the percentage is truly unsustainable, they'll fail and we'll keep using Apple's App Store anyways. That would still proper competition in the market to set prices rather than whatever Apple's monopoly decides to set prices at.
Yet at the same time you get roasted on here if you run things as root. It’s pure bs.. Apple has top notch engineering and architecture. Others always follow.. in terms of hardware, but also software
> Watson and Crick were not math savants. They did not have natural gifts.

They had the 'natural gift' of picking up on the clues hinting that DNA, rather than protein, was central to the mechanism of biological inheritance. It is the natural gift of being able to identify the key features of the forest despite the preponderance of obfuscating trunks and branches. It is the gift of seeing some sort of order behind cirucmstances in which almost all the details are accidental.

Math synthesizes complexity; in biology, you have to analyze what's given.
Distributed alogrithms often depend on precise clocks to maintain consistency. See google spanner for instance.

Updating the clock one second means taking a whole cluster offline untill you are sure the clocks are synchronized exactly before bringing them online again. It brings an outage and potential of headaches.

If the clocks are not synchronized you break the consensus, might cause transactions to commit partially or cause inconsistent reads and writes.

> I just want to be able to run and distribute my own apps

A niggle and not contradicting your main point.

You can run and distribute you own app. You can even share it with a few hundred people (maybe a couple thousand?).

What you can't do is distribute it in the App Store or effectively sell it outside the App Store.

Again, more a niggle and not disputing your point.

> The day where apple stops indies from publishing apps is near.

This point I will dispute. Apple isn't going to stop Indies from publishing apps. Apple loves developers (though sometimes they show it poorly) and knows they are the life-blood of the platform.
Bootcamp very much belonged to a different era where having access to Windows apps was important in particular in the enterprise space.

These days everything has moved to mobile and web apps that I can't imagine they will bother investing the substantial effort to port the drivers across. Especially since Microsoft doesn't seem to take Windows RT all that seriously.
It's cool, but is it 16bit perhaps? Would be fair to compare to tensorbook of similar cost.

Desktop wise, you can buy a 1080 for <400 on eBay and the latest gen nvidia are obviously much faster for still less cost than the mac pro.
I think that the two are at best tangentially related.
From the first:

"There was never a single answer that made sense and only one answer actually ever "it will be $300 per device and some company said they would do it even if we hit only 5000 devices". You need to realize this was before we even knew what materials we will use, how the phone will look and so on. So vapor all the way."

This sounds exactly like the dev had no idea how manufacturing or investor relations goes. You need some numbers to tell investors, and you need the investment to design the phone, so you estimate. Using a price target of $300 seems reasonable.

From the second, I read it a long time ago and just skimmed it now, I read it as they hit major setbacks (perhaps because instead of rebadging existing stock they're suddenly building something new) and didn't want their money to dry up by scaring off the folks paying for the hardware.

The "raise money to build a new device with no manufacturing experience ends up taking forever, costing a lot more, and making people unhappy" story is an old one now. Kickstarter is full of these.

I don't see any evidence that there's anything going on more than inexperience here.

DDR4 ECC needs just 1 parity chip for 8 chip, not half. Of course it consumes a bit more power to calculate checksum. IMO it worth for every computing.
The number of people who buy a Mac specifically to run Linux is negligible.

And I doubt the ROI is there given how substantial the effort would be to port everything across especially the graphics drivers.

Nothing about QAnon is inherently viral, there's no real rhyme or reason to QAnon theories and they contradict each other half the time. QAnon is just the latest adaptation of solipsistic, uncritical, and delusional thinking that started long before the internet and will continue long after it dies. Ever wonder what happened to flat earth theory? That used to be the "viral" bad idea of the time, but if you look around now it's practically dead. It's dead because flat earthers have moved on to QAnon [1]. "Wealthy democrats drink the blood of children" is literally a random stupid idea that only spreads because these idiots all talk to each other. It could be anything; In a different decade they would instead be talking about the Freemasons, or a flat earth, or the Jewish agenda. The common theme is not the idea or the politics, it's the broken mentality that creates a worldview in which nothing is your fault, everything bad is caused by inhuman others, and you are one of the few smart enough to see what others cannot.

It's foolish to think that censoring these people actually solves anything. Because you never addressed the broken psychology that attracts them to this garbage in the first place, they'll continue finding other outlets, your attempts to censor them only feeding their delusions further. Censorship might help you avoid them on the internet, but let's see if you can avoid them at the polls.

Indeed -- such a beautiful and concise book. After the first one or two chapters you know all of the AWK language, and then the rest of the book is making the knowledge practical with interesting examples (that's my memory of the book, anyway).

> I'm not sure how much throughput they can push to a satellite with 6.1GHz of total spectrum.

The satellites are very far apart, so they can use the full 6.1GHz per satellite with near zero interference. At most you'll have two in the same part of the sky.

The earth's surface area is about 200 million square miles. If you have 20 thousand satellites, that gives you ballpark 100x100 miles per satellite. Roughly 100 miles of separation, 350 miles of height, very easy to isolate just one.

With this many satellites, if you had a ground station every 300 miles, it would have to connect to about 10 satellites. It would need 200Gbps of fiber, which isn't hard to do. You'd be using less than 25 terabits per second across the entire continental US. That's less than a single undersea cable. No colossal bandwidth necessary, even at unreasonable numbers of satellites.
It's unfortunate that wherever I see this news, it mentions that Foster is the author of Star Wars and Aliens novelizations and some original books in those universes, but there's not a word about his other science fiction works, nor of the Humanx Commonwealth setting uniting most of them. Which is a shame - so many excellent books there, between author's rather wild imagination and talent to put it into words. "Midworld" and "Sentenced to Prism" are two particularly notable examples.

This is not remotely true.

Apple has had plenty of opportunities over the years to take down the Hackintosh community and they never have. In fact Craig even said they fully supported it.

And whilst their Mac devices are secure by default they have always made it possible to weaken the security when needed.
I think I read somewhere the provenience of strncpy was to copy strings into a fixed length field which is why it has the deranged behavior of not terminating the string. Think file systems where the max file name is 8 characters. Or compilers that truncated variable names at 31.
TL;DR I pointed at the wrong link for the "no safe level" claim.

That quotation is from the first link, the meta-analysis "Moderate Alcohol Use and Reduced Mortality Risk: Systematic Error in Prospective Studies and New Hypotheses". It's a single piece of work focused on the "sick quitter" phenomenon, which only shows that light or "moderate" consumption is at best providing no benefit, as you say. This was the main thrust of my point -- it's not health-promoting. I did make a mistake and say that this meta-analysis justified a stronger claim though. I should have justified it using the second link.

The second link is an editorial, "Alcohol’s evaporating health benefits: Industry lobbying and promotion are rife and unchecked by governments". It's more of an overview of many studies and meta-analyses, and is the reference I should have given for my claim of "no safe level". Choice quotation and it's reference.

> The harsh truth is that indie devs need access to Apple’s users, not the other way around.

This is simply not true.

Instagram was the project of indie developers. Likewise many of the big apps which exist on iOS. The vast majority of software on iOS is small niche tools which are either fun to use or useful tools.

Apple knows this and they know they need indie developers supporting their platform.

I realize there are a fair number of situations where it doesn't seem that way. But there are a lot of times such as this where it's more than clear they do.
If I apply that logic to your comment then everything on the internet should be assumed to be true.

What?

50% implies 120K profit for the owner (pre tax)

That leaves 60k per developer. The standard rule of thumb is that an employee costs their salary in overhead and payroll tax, so, that’s 30K per year per developer, assuming the business has zero operational overhead.

240K for a one person company? Sure.

One with 2 additional employees expecting tech wages? Probably not.

I started out in computers, spent most my career in biotechnology, and right now spend about half and half in each (for the most part, I run a DNA cloning foundry where I clone new sequences. Need lots of software for that).

If there is one takeaway from working in both fields, I think it is that a lot of computer scientists believe their systems are deep - it is nothing compared to biology.

Biotechnology also has a fundamentally different culture than tech, and so there can be some culture shock between the two. This is improving - I think the author would have loved synthetic biology :)
Our elected representatives created these agencies. We need to elect better people.
> So then you agree that what they offer is cheaper, and that this cheaper option is being prevent by Apple. Cool. Glad you agree!

Nope. Not at all. It isn't cheaper to the consumer. You keep on conflating revenue share between who owns the store and the dev, with the amount the customer pays at the checkout.

> Cheaper is cheaper. Thats all that I care about. I care about the end result of lower fees.

That won't be the end result as I have already explained.

> It is representative of Apple actions unfairly causing prices to be higher for this specific competitor is being kept out though!

No it isn't. Prices aren't higher. You keep on conflating the price to the end user with the revenue share. They are not the same thing.

Even on revenue split everyone except for EPIC (which are buying their way in) are about the same in their respective stores.

> All I need is a single example, to show that Apple's actions have prevented a lower priced option from competing.

You are the not the arbiter of what is a valid example. I've already explained why in a previous comment why one example isn't representative of a whole, you chose to ignore it. That is on you and not I.

> Nope! Because their actions are illegally anti-competitive, and Apple has significant market power.

If* it is proven so in court than I may agree with you. IIRC the case is still ongoing. Your opinion isn't a fact. Google have significant market power, Steam has it, Microsoft has it (to a lesser extent). You keep on pretending that there is only one phone manufacturer on the market. All of this is nonsense.

> Regardless if game devs agreed to the contract, the contract can still be illegally anti-competitive. And the law can be used against Apple on that.

We will see if that is the case in court.

> And even further more, I still want any and all actions to be taken, through whatever means possible, whether they be through the existing laws/court system, or that is through changing the law to retroactively target Apple and its employees, or if it through game devs working together to oppose apple, so as to make the game companies get more of the money, and for Apple to receive less of it, no matter how it happens.

You want the market to be legislated because you don't like Apple. How foolish.

If people argued from the fact that there should be able to sideload applications. Then I maybe inclined to agree with you.

I suspect the conversation from here on out will be a waste of time because you keep on selectively ignoring caveats to your arguments.
Thanks, I had not seen that one yet. I agree, the more that these are shared, the sooner they get reviewed by other experts who can debunk them, and we all improve our knowledge. Looking forward to whatever comes of this one.
The truth is we can both think what we like, but my view is the reality (cf. switch, ps5, xbox) and yours is wishful thinking.
This is ridiculous dragnetting.

The DEA already have the ability to ask for specific customer records without a warrant through HIPAA privacy rule exceptions. And good luck convincing your therapist or doctor that fulfilling such requests is a voluntary act on their part. That highly televised doctor-patient confidentiality is pretty much a myth once you reach the federal level.

That is bad enough, but now they want to simply take everyone's data and push it through algorithms to generate leads for more action? These guys are worse than sales people.
Just imagine the fallout for Facebook if a contractor slips up and opens up a laptop on the train or at a coffee shop. It doesn’t have to be malicious, just negligent. And as recent scandals at Amazon and Twitter have shown, employees are as vulnerable to bribery and social engineering as any other human. Even if Facebook is legally covered, the PR risk is too great.
> Just failing to see how "Pay more to Indies" is bad.

let me give you a simile to illustrate why paying more to indies now can be bad in the future.

Imagine a charity trying to help feed the poor in a poor country, by donating large amounts of grain and food. Or try to help cloth them by donating free clothing.

It's not "bad" to receive these donations, but the un-intended side effect is that they destroy the local industry, and prevent competition from forming. Thus, the country has a hard time building up their own industry.

Of course, these charities aren't doing so with any ill intensions (which is where the simile deviates).

Apple hides the true issue of device open-ness by lowering their %-cut they take, and indies celebrate. But they are blind to the future possibility of being locked out by apple by decree (see epic), or some other arbitrary rule they create.
>Do you think there's some kind of law that says you have to respond to someone's legal representatives?
