I'm a small time Apple shareholder and have the opposite reaction. Apple is sitting on 300 billion in cash - I expect them to do something with it. They need to move into some other market because their existing ones are tapped out. Cars are a great fit:

1. Big enough market for an investment of 10s of billions

2. Its international (quit a bit of that money is stuck overseas)

3. Making electric cars isn't too hard (see Tesla)

4. Its a consumer product and they have the best consumer brand which they can easily leverage.

5. The car market is poised to be radically disrupted in the short term - electric cars/self driving cars

Yes that's an interesting aspect that I hadn't thought of. I do agree with the wisdom part. ;)

I also like to consider the experience of time in relation to total life lived.

e.g. A month to a five year-old is the equivalent of a year to a 60 year-old.

So as we experience more time, we feel that time passes more quickly. Although I sure hope there is a plateau to it as we get older.

This is because, at least in California and New York, jaywalking is not a crime. It is a civil infraction.

This means there is no criminal record or court/jail time. It’s a ticket just like a parking or speeding ticket. I find it hard to believe people believe we should be allowed to just hang out in the street. It’s there for general safety of everyone. Could we adjust the rule to account for situations where no cars are around? Sure. But obviously we can’t have a rule where people are allowed to just cross busy city streets at will anywhere. It would be terrible for overall mobility in the city as well as dangerous.

These articles are just typical internet extremism and conspiracy theories about “Big Something”. It’s a non issue most places.
Why does there have to be a dichotomy here? Another option would be to lock down but also to provide for people who will otherwise be ruined by the lockdown.

That seems to be the most humane option. Make it illegal to evict people, provide them with a reasonable base income that allows them to lead a dignified life through the lockdown, and then shut everything down for a little while.

Suggesting that the lockdown is synonymous with loss of livelihood is exactly the problem here. Surely the same elected officials that have the power to close everything down also have the power to authorize emergency payments to those impacted by the lockdown.
I would love to hear someone talk about this actually as it has been my pet theory for the last 15 years since high school physics.

My reasoning was p = mv. m drops (through various processes in a star emitting energi==mass) and since p is constant, v increases.

Probably totally naive, but it is just a thought which has stuck around with me.

No the poor received charity, directly from the hospitals. In fact historically, hospitals were charities, many still are. And the rest still provide it too. In the story I linked the uninsured person's whole problem was that he earned too much to qualify for the hospital's financial aid program, so had to negotiate to get a lower bill.

One difference in usage of PWSH I can't wrap my head around is when I want to do something akin to:

grep -rl $pattern | $othercommand

So far I've got this (deliberately avoiding aliases for this example) in the above grep's command's stead:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path * | Select-String $pattern

But I just cannot fathom how to break from the table format to pass the lines to $othercommand.

How does one pass a pwsh list to a single command? Using %{}/For-Each {} wouldn't work because it would invoke $othercommand for each line.
While I think you're correct, I find it funny that you are in effect complaining that a Hacker News article is NOT an advertisement poorly disguised as an information article or an opinion piece.
I got some bad news about all the pet toy reviews..
Sure... but SpaceEx is a company with laser engineering focus on essentially one goal for the last two decades, and they're only recently gaining traction on their ambitions, Apple would have an extremely steep curve to ascend before they could even hope to enter the "crash a bunch of rockets for research" phase. Apple just isn't built for this type of engineering.
Frankly, people are always dying. Deaths don't automatically outweigh everything. This logic quickly breaks down once you apply it consistently. Traffic accidents are a huge cause of deaths, yet we don't ban all vehicles.

There are massive costs associated with lockdowns, most of which we can probably only judge accurately once everything is over, and certainly there are second order effects which cost lives also. Such as suicides due to depression amplified by social isolation.

Those costs should be factored in. It's not as simple as a blanket "people are dying so everything is justified".
I attended a presentation by Tom Siebel, founder of C3, around 2011 who said the "inspiration" from C3 came from hiring ~10 of the best management consultants from McKinsey who told him that Enterprise IoT was going to be a big deal. My guess is the AI part came later as a way of productizing a data processing pipeline.

The event was strange and really disabused me of many assumptions I had about startup origin stories.
The role of highways and red-lining of federal house building loans in segregating and suppressing black communities is well documented. (You can argue about intention, but the effect is pretty apparent) [1]

Remember this happened in the 40s and 50s. Plenty has changed since then, including the gentrification of poor areas near highways. But that doesn’t change the history of the US highway system.

I tell everyone I view Tesla as a software company first and that their tech was a decade ahead of other car makers. I think it will still take another 5-8 years for a traditional automotive manfacturer to get close. Apple, they could do it.
No. I mean exactly what I said.

Audio is unnecessary and means I have to stop everything else I'm doing. And so does anyone else in the same room unless I can find headphones.

And 3 or 4 seconds is ample time to demonstrate that specific aspect that is hard to demonstrate with the written word.
What you’re missing, though, is that from Tesla’s perspective you shouldn’t be driving while trying to use it. Or much at all.

I prefer hardware to software and I’d hate to control my Jeeps with a touchscreen but my Jeeps aren’t driving themselves.
I think that whoever wrote this post (and from what it seems like a bunch of comments here) needs to do some serious self-reflecting about whether they're really owning the unflattering market reception of their product launch.

I would advise a more customer centric approach and attitude. The hostility and defensiveness is poison in the well. If you alienate the customers who are supposed to be the lifeblood of your company, you can risk quickly gaining a bad reputation that becomes terminal. Then your company dies.

This is a common failure mode for companies.

>Because of limited resources in Canada they had waiting times of several years (Google can point to multiple sources), UK or Nederlands a few months

First, EVEN if what you are saying is true (spoiler alert- it's not). There are always private options if you really want to pay for it. So your argument of "there are wait times" basically goes away, because if you really want something "like you have now", you can pay and get it.

Next, what is better.. never being able to afford an elective/non urgent surgery, or wait 4-6 weeks (or perhaps even longer) for it? The point is you will get it and not go bankrupt.

And if it's urgent, you get it right away. Anything else you have heard is bullshit or has some other context you don't realize.

I mean, do you realize how many people in this country are living with conditions that probably even being able to go to a doctor on a regular basis would massively improve their life? But they can't afford it- even with "insurance".

>I hate the system in US, but at least it gives a chance to people who can afford it;

>here, everybody is equally screwed.

How do those two statements make any sense? You literally just said it gives a chance to people who can afford it... then claim everybody is equally screwed. No they aren't. It's like anything else- the top maybe 10-20% have no issues with it because they can afford it. So fuck everyone else right? The same top 10-20% who just love that the stock market booms during a pandemic because they can just continue to print more money.

Man your attitude pisses me off.

>The only thing that works well here is giving birth, that is free, you can cover that by the state or federal in US too

The hell are you talking about? "Insurance" covers birth yeah, but it'll still generally max out most peoples deductibles so it's still thousands and thousands of dollars... and heaven forbid you have a c-section or some other complicated birth.

Also, I lived in the UK for a number of years. We had so many trips to the doctor for our birth. Cost? Fucking 0. Yeah peoples taxes are a bit higher once you make descent money, but that's the damn point! People who can afford it are paying into a system that makes everyone better off.

We should be trying to make EVERYONE AS A WHOLE better off, not only the top 10-20% which is apparently what your logic is.

One can say many things about Tim Cook, but not that he doesn't understand "business". So if Apple makes a car, they certainly have a plan on how to make a profit from it.
In the case of masks and lockdowns the "freedom" in question is more analogous to drunk driving. This is in the sense that exercising the freedom could cause the people around you some severe life-altering problems, and you're imposing that risk without their consent or knowledge.
Which is exactly the same approach that Tesla used. They sold an expensive roadster, then an expensive SUV before selling a medium priced sedan.

What I’m looking forward to is the integration of Server Components with Next.js SSG, where I can in theory build my whole site in JSX and generate the vast majority of it statically (Next already does this part) but only send/render the small portion that’s interactive to the browser (this has been discussed elsewhere, including in Next’s issue tracker, as “partial hydration” and is currently only possible with quite a bit of hacky effort, and I don’t think any of the existing reference implementations reduce bundle size).
Somebody has to be driving, otherwise the traffic would just be a bunch of empty cars.

But I agree the majority of locals don’t drive.
>> Unrelated: if there were there a chart that shows the number of people killed by each country per year in this millennia -- what countries do you think will "in the lead" by an order of magnitude at least from the rest?

> This millennium? Probably Syria.

How did you come to that conclusion? Though the question is far to ambiguous (what does "killed by" mean, exactly?), I'd assume Germany would be ahead of Syria, given that any reasonable count would include those killed in the Holocaust plus allied casualties from WWI and WWII (where all cases where there's clearly established intent to kill by the regime). The Syrian civil was was bad, but not that bad. I'm not aware of anything of similar magnitude there after 1900, and the numbers of anything before would be lessened by lower populations and less effective military technology.
That's okay, you won't be the one driving soon enough

If I may speculate wildly:

* France (and other French speaking countries) produce well qualified engineers.

* As others have pointed out, France can be perceived as a rather inhospitable place for entrepreneurial people.

* On the other hand, Apple may be a little bit more aligned with French values than other Silicon Valley companies: Pride of auteurship, opinionated design, and occasional stubbornness in the face of customer complaints. I think a French engineer will recognize a certain je ne sais quoi in "you're holding it wrong" ;-)
They didn't buy Tesla when it was a fraction of that value, so why would they do it now?

I’m not talking about the Phosh executable as much as all the other things that Phosh on Mobian is meant to provide an interface with: so much of those preinstalled applications and libs in Mobian are derived from the GNOME project, and they just haven’t been optimized enough to run well on the PinePhone’s hardware.
I think observation and model almost necessarily have to be conflated. What we really see is light hitting our retina, or if you want to go one layer further, nerve impulses in our visual cortex. Everything else is model.

So if we accept that everything is model, then what you are really advocating is using verbose descriptions in terms of a fairly established model rather than succinct descriptions in a more speculative model. Phrasing it like this makes it clear that there is a balance to be struck between pros and cons. Maybe we are erring on the speculative side, but you will have to make that case.

We almost never have to touch the screen with driving our Model 3. All controls you need are physical or very easy to interact with on the screen.
Yes. With mirrorless, you have the advantage of the image continuously hitting the sensor. So you see in your viewfinder more or less what the sensor is seeing. On a dslr, you are seeing a facsimile of the end result.
The regulatory differences are also huge.

Apple has negliglible experience dealing with the raft of certifications and demonstrations of compliance that car manufacturers have to go through.

As with all legislation like this the base premis for the people making the law is: “someone is making money doing something they should not be doing” and they are aiming at the “making money” element.

It’s always the same, and this is why the Pirate Bay is still alive because they simply cannot even begin to conceptualize that maybe something is happening that is not 100% focused around profits. And even if that was so they really don’t care because no parent has ever made a campaign contribution “just because we are happy that our children didn’t get abused”.

However you can be absolutely certain that pornhub is going to be making strategic donations now, just to avoid the hassle.
That's because you don't have the faintest idea of how Apple differentiated their card from the competition.
well, laptops without batteries are still usable if in-house mobility is needed. I use mine mostly on-the-charger at home and at work. I keep charger at all regular places where I might sit down for couple of hours of work. It is especially easy now with USB-C PD becoming a defacto standard.
Tesla is an electric car company and an energy company, and they are leading both sectors right now. You can say that their market cap should not be greater than Toyota or Ford etc because the number of vehicles they produce is a lot smaller, but the world is going electric (really, renewable) and Tesla is tee-ed up to take large chunks of the solar panel and car markets. They have said they are going to produce a smaller version of a model 3 that costs under 25K USD, which the Europeans will buy in large numbers. They will be the first company to complete FSD also.

My opinion doesn't mean anything, but I think in 2030, Elon Musk will be the richest person in the world by an order of magnitude and Tesla will have the largest market cap in the world

Now this is a seriously good move for their clean energy plan. I wonder the impact they’ll have on Tesla. Elon Musk’s car firm had the first mover advantage just like iPhone back in the day.

With the Apple community already treating their products as gold, Tesla cars will no longer be perceived as the premium product in the long run.

Replacing a battery of a 5+ year old laptop is a problem that I cannot consistently solve. I learned to navigate e-bay/amazon and find reasonably priced official batteries, but even those may come degraded, because they loose capacity even while stored at warehouse. I would love to find a reliable custom Li battery shop which would make a battery to fit dimensions and maybe even move controller board from old pack to new one -- for laptop batteries, for tablet and phone batteries too.

No it's not clear, this is another rehash of the static vs. dynamic debate, and you're welcome to your side. It's ludicrous to claim that highly complex systems cannot be written in a maintainable fashion with a dynamically-typed programming language. Anyway this gets to what bugged me about the post, the author is plainly not comfortable with Clojure and wants it to be Haskell-y. So of course they're going to be happy in a language like Rust.

Nobody was making hundreds of billions off of cell phones, either. Until Apple suddenly did.
> The software does not automatically fail a student, it only flags for further human review. Seems like it’s doing its job.

That is it's intended use, yes, but it does not appear to be how it's being used. The article even says those 3,000 people were sent orders to prove they did not cheat. That sure seems like you fail unless you can prove the software wrong.

Unless you're claiming that they had human review of those and eliminated some, in which case the software flagged over 1 in 3 people for cheating.

Either way, the software is bad. At the very least, there's a very high false positive rate. You would have to be really sure you're going to fail the bar, or absurdly stupid, to cheat at the bar. I'm sure being caught cheating is effectively a lifetime ban from being a lawyer, so you've wasted all that time in school. I would be utterly stunned if anywhere close to 1 in 3 law students cheated on the bar, and if that's the case, it should immediately trigger an ethics review by the bar.
A touch screen requires looking at it, buttons do not. That is a fundamental difference, and I don't want a UI I have to look at while driving.

I don't want a UI with modes on the touchscreen. More of needing to concentrate on the cursed screen instead of driving.

Lastly, every touchscreen UI is fatally attracted to icons instead of words so I have to pull over and consult the 500 page manual to see what the wretched things mean. Icons have set back communication 5000 years [1], though I doubt Susan Kare will ever apologize :-)
