> Why not base the the revenue on income taxes instead

Yup, California does that. That's why CA has a reputation as a high-tax state. Although total tax burden isn't that different from places like Austin, TX though (at least that's how the numbers come out when my friend or I have seriously looked into moving there).

> I don't see what the right fix is for that.

Ha. People have been shouting it from the rooftops. Build more houses! More specifically, just allow people to build more houses. Stop preventing people from building more houses.

Frankly, that's really the only solution. If you have n households in a country, you need approximately n homes to put them in. Be careful where you share this fact though, or you'll be labeled as part of the "growth at all costs" crowd.

> then why not take the policy to restrict the offices that draw them there in the first place?

Because the reality of the situation is that local governments need tax dollars to run services that taxpayers expect (roads, sewers, schools). There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. But voters hate paying higher income taxes. You've also capped property taxes on existing development. So the way local mayors and city councils fill the gap is by allowing development that requires relatively less city services: retail and commercial space.

Of course, now people need to commute to those retail and commercial developments, (because you have limited the amount of housing) so you just created a traffic problem (but, hey, term limits are a great and your successor can deal with it!).

> Spreading it out instead of concentrating it would provide relief.

Lol. Sure, but that's what this whole thread is about! People complaining when other people spread out to get relief, and how property taxes are going up and we need to Do Something to stop it god damn it!

And the cycle begins again...
I think you're being downvoted because the title of the post is The "Granny Knot", and your wording sounds like you're saying Ian claims he invented the "Granny Knot".

But obviously you're talking about the "Ian knot". My wife taught me this knot about 20 years ago. She grew up in China and had been tying her shoelaces this way since primary school.

Ian claims to have invented the knot in 1982. Now it's conceivable that the "Ian knot" took the world by storm and spreaded to China quickly, but seeing it's the pre-Internet era, I highly doubt it. I myself had never heard of it until I saw her do it.

So it's likely Ian independently discovered the knot, more so than him being the first person to ever come up with it.

Did you come up with this knot yourself 45 years ago, or did you learn it from someone else?

BTW I upvoted you.
I'm happy to hold every possible outcome as being open. You're the one wanting to close doors, you're the one trying to realise an unknown into your own personal biases.

Due to our lack of evidence everything remains open and to avoid people betting on the coinky-doink of their lab we need to obtain evidence. Evidence that as of yet isn't there, which is why people still look at the lab.
With BigSur, users can run ipad and iphone apps natively on an M1 mac.

It's not a large stretch to see some overlap between allowing macOS features on a large screen mobile device.
ipadOS has pointer support and the preferred way to do pointer interactions on macOS seems to be touchpads (not mice), so the gap is definitely not as large anymore.
I guess I understand why they do it, but I really wish they'd replace one if the non-Thunderbolt USB-C ports with a USB-A one.
I almost believed your post until I changed my useragent and saw the popup.

There is a popup with the title: "Use Chrome on a desktop please!"

with the text "Right now, the web version of Stamper is only supported in Google Chrome for desktop."

That doesn't sound like a "Go away" to me. That sounds like a "We only support Chrome and so don't complain if its broken on something else". If it really was a "go away", they wouldn't even let you enter the app if you had the wrong useragent. Instead, you just click past the dialog and you get whatever experience your useragent allows with the code.

That's on the Air, though. Nobody has been able to thermally modulate performance of the M1 mini, at least not without a heat gun.
A week ago my wife dropped her Iphone from a ski lift, and couldn't find it afterwards. I went to try and find it, from home she used Find my phone to get a picture of the location, and had it play sounds when I was nearby. I found it under a foot of snow, first try. This has been around for a while now but it was the first time I saw it first hand, I was blown away.
I haven’t heard about this. Can you explain more?
That makes zero business sense. Your first post is about the one time and perpetual operational overhead associated with operating under the prior FOSS license (yes, you’re saying it’s the new license that’s a problem, but since the situation arose while operating under the prior conditions then implicitly those conditions carried this very overhead). Operating under any license carried an overhead, unless you simply choose to not read (or to read and ignore) the fine print.

Hollywood doesn't want people using PCs as a primary media device because they'd have to compete with pirate streaming services, so they want to push people to invest in more locked-down devices and ecosystems. One way to do that is limiting resolution, bitrate, and features for desktop users so that casual Netflix users are nudged to switch to an industry-approved streaming box that can't access unauthorized services.

No cell/GPS, so it won't track your dog if it gets lost in the forest or something. There are other (bulkier) trackers if you live in those sorts of areas, but otherwise I have a Tile on my dog's leash right now just to keep tabs on where she is when she's with a trusted caretaker like my parents. I'll probably switch it to an AirTag now because the network will have better coverage
They already tried, it flopped and they killed off the feature. PC gamers already own games through Steam, no one wants to have to split their library if they can avoid it.
I'd guess to not make the Macbooks look ridiculously bad.
Both Pro and Air use the same M1 chip. Same performance, clocks, thermal output. They just handle the cooling differently.

There are lots of legitimate complaints about the iMac, and indeed the entire Apple ecosystem nowadays, but this isn't one of them.

nope, that wouldn't be a modification to the AGPL-licensed grafana. you are free to do that.

plus, dashboards and configuration are inherently ("source available"), so even if one were to consider them to be modifications (which they're not), you are already distributing them in source form ;-)

Missed opportunity in today's announcement to introduce arguably the most compelling part of M1 adoption: a desktop-like experience, especially since hardware keyboard and trackpad already exist.

If it runs M1, I wanna run my Electron VS Code on it.
Funny the current iMac has none of those problems.

And wasn’t the M1 supposed to be so efficient minimal cooling and power were required?

Yes I wanted the 16GB one since 32GB is not available yet on Apple M1. But Apple sells a premium laptop that is not good enough for many of their users. That's a fact. 8GB is ridiculous and Apple is rich enough to afford 16GB by default on their premium "pro" laptops.
Amazon (Twitch), Epic, and Valve are all targeting gaming verticals. Each of them are integrating the other's features as also-rans: streaming, marketplace, reviews, community, platform. Most people would probably be surprized to know that you can buy games on Twitch and stream on Steam.

I can’t believe any of the people complaining here about low quality of the VoIP of Teams have used the VoIP of Discord, because they simply can’t compare. Teams have anti-coupling features and you can use it with speakers out of the box.
Discord does not have a good anti-coupling algorithms and it’s almost impossible to use it without headphones. Perfect for gamers, but not for business.
Discord is amazing to create communities, that’s what Microsoft wanted.
Which is funny, because on some of the early MacBook Pros with USB-C/thunderbolt ports, the ones on the left vs right side of the laptop didn't have the same capabilities
> Beautiful, looks like the days of Apple and macOS overtaking Microsoft and Windows will happen very soon

In the United States where one-third of computers on the web are already running macOS, sure. That definitely won’t be the case worldwide though.
Is it worth photoshopping YOUR PHOTOS?
I wonder even if that never comes to fruition, there'll be a "hackpad" that's essentially flashing/installing macOS onto an iPad Pro. Same M1 SOC hypothetically should be straightforward.
They covered that too.

iMac Pro Officially Discontinued

And I think they're starting to regret that acquisition, as their last Q started to show signs of a turnaround. If they had waited and didn't cave in to Wall St pressure, I bet they would've figured things out eventually.
Why would it be horrible? Also they sell a keyboard and touchpad for the iPad now.
The ethernet on the power brick is a great addition, but I wonder why they didn't turn that into a full hub with multiple different ports. There would be such potential for the Magsafe connector be the only cable connected to the device for a lot of use cases and could really give the iMac true in the home mobility.
Spotify has 350m users, even if it's not in "most cases" there is huge potential to tap into.
Discord has a business model: Get people engaged in a community, sell them Nitro so they can boost their communities [1][2]. The "buy benefits for you community" scheme is wildly successful in mobile games, so I wouldn't be surprised if it works well for Discord.

Any iOS device will relay the AirTag’s beacons to iCloud—-not just your devices.

If you lose a tracked device, you can see its location if a random person’s Internet-enabled iDevice hears any of its chirps. The stranger’s device doing the relaying is unable to decrypt the contents; it just forwards the data to Apple.
Yeah, no. I use my Mac for software development, and Docker eats RAM for lunch. I absolutely 100% would not own an 8GB Mac today.

This a million times is true, every politician responsible for this garbage type of policy has robbed coming generations for their future.

It’s a deeply, deeply, deeply, vile and evil policy, perpetuated by completely incompetent politicians, high on their own power, 100% done for their own gain (how many politicians rent, just on average... )

I like the direction Apple is going here, I assume they will have higher end iMacs later this year or early next year, and that's what I'll be waiting for.

I'd like 27 inches of screen, at least 16GB of ram, but preferably 32, and that's about all I'd ask for. My current workstation is a 2013 27" iMac fully upgraded (fusion drive, 16gb, good dGPU for its time - still plays Kerbal Space Program fine), so looking forward to more upgrades on the internals.

I've already run into the old WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 as being bottlenecks and those are difficult to replace in an iMac by a normal person.
Current chip shortage?
> Apple made it practical.

Ofcourse. User replaceable battery sold seperately made practical by Apple Inc.
If I had to guess I'd say that the air probably thermal throttles or reaches a steady-state of lower performance at an earlier time than the Pro, if the pro has a larger cooling package on the same CPU...

If you were to sit the two side by side on a desk and run a complicated pure-cpu x265 1.5 hour ffmpeg encode of a 4K video from raw y4m, the pro will probably race ahead after about 20 minutes, after the heat has soaked into the air.
how long is the suffix? I can't see it being effective for both anti-stalking (ie. someone placing a tag on you without your consent) and anti-tracking (ie. shops/malls using your tag to follow you around).
What is the point of that comparison?
I think you’re a holdout for the pro version. This one is only 24” anyway.
> If AirTag is separated from its owner and out of Bluetooth range, the Find My network can help track it down. The Find My network is approaching a billion Apple devices and can detect Bluetooth signals from a lost AirTag and relay the location back to its owner, all in the background, anonymously and privately.

I had no idea that's how "Find My Phone" worked. I guess I hadn't thought about it.

I wonder what the privacy implications are, how do they (or do they) stop the "Find My network" from tracking units any time all the time?
Yes exactly the same happened in the UK pre-brexit. Now we have left I wonder if the situation will change much (I suspect not).
Yeah, if your projects are so tightly coupled that you have to work on them in the same Solution, then you may as well Join them most of the time.

Another bit, I would generally have the Interfaces project include the client... so one DLL for other solutions to import from, and it doesn't really add much of anything to the Server implementation. That's just one example.

Another is separating API controllers, DAL, BLL into separate Projects... there's rarely a practical reason for this, and in practice just adds indirection and complexity for very little real world value. But hey, "Enterprise" patterns and all.
Still just 16 GB RAM?

I don’t see how this is appropriate for today’s MacOS. MacOS will use RAM. Currently it’s using about 34 GB of 64 GB on my machine.

I understood on their ultralight notebooks, but the iMac is not giving me confidence about what they might offer for their Mac Pro.
Is that not essentially what the Server Side Public License (SSPL) went for?
I have a 2018 iPad Pro and it still feels wildly overpowered. I can't really see myself upgrading for a newer chip. They need to further improve on the software to make it more realistic as a high performance work environment. Until then, I'll continue using laptops, and my iPad will remain primarily for web browsing and media consumption.
It just feels like an iMac with touch screen to me, and the price is on par with an iMac
I still dont understand why the Apple TV 4K couldn't act as a simple router. It had all the hardware required for it. It sits in the living room or wherever there is a TV which could act as a Mesh Network.
To me, it doesn't matter how powerful the iPad is if the software experience is subpar. Multitasking is cumbrous enough that it might as well not exist, multi-display setups can only mirror at a fixed aspect ratio, it lacks multiple user profiles requiring a family to be under a single user, and the few apps that take advantage of the keyboard/trackpad are nowhere similar to their desktop counterparts.

Take Excel for example. Try right-clicking on a cell or dragging down a formula, and you'll see that it only picks it up a fraction of the time, and you have to click multiple times with gesture-like latencies in between to get it to work.
That might be part, but it's not the whole picture.

The only way to put software on the iPad is through Apple's app store, which is a hill they seem awfully willing to die on. It's possible they give that up for the iPad but hold onto the iPhone, but that would weaken the PR value of their security argument.

I've worked a full week away from an office using only VNC even before Apple added mouse support. It's fine. Touch-oriented vs Mouse-oriented is an odd philosophy to hold when it's used to oppose a workflow being somewhat supported vs not at at all.

"If I can't run whatever I want on it, it's a console not a real computer."

iPads are still consoles regardless of what kind of chip you put in them.

That may be Apple's intent. They don't seem to be cancelling the Mac, their "real computer." There's more than one market.

Thats very encouraging to hear. I have been trying to sell our product to enterprise companies and few Fintech companies showed interest, however they are almost 100% Java stack still. In fact I got a big list of concerns/requirements when we said we are based on Node.js - starting with XML processing and distributed transaction.. They cannot imagine using our stack for core business logic because of lack of enterprise features like distributed transaction support. That's when I realized how mature Java is in enterprise adoption compared to other stacks (With .net as an exception.). Wonder if a common standard like JDBC and JMS would help Node.js gain more adoption with enterprises
Probably only introduced the 24inch because of maximum pixel output limitation of M1. The 24inch is 4.5k and it supports one external display up to 6k.

A 27”+ would require to push at least 5k (possibly 6k) for the internal monitor + 6k for the external

For comparison the M1 Mac mini supports one 4K display and one 6k display. So it seems that this is close to the maximum for the M1 chip

It also means that for us with 5k2k monitors we will not get back our missing scaling options (at least not with M1)
> Discord is amazing to create communities, that’s what Microsoft wanted.

Microsoft can easily recreate the platform, they don't want the capability, they want the existing audience.
Their entire current lineup has all 8 cores plus 7 or 8 GPU cores too.

I was thinking that they'd sell a 6-core M1 in the AppleTV, but I guess that's not happening and the package is too big to go in a phone. Given their die size and even amazing return rates, there are hundreds of thousands of m1 chips that simply aren't being used. That seems like a lot of waste for a company that talks about going green. Maybe they have another project in the works.
Seems to me the declared bad idea was for time/budget concerns, and only minorly because of technical concerns.
I don't know the details myself, but one aspect may be how many places your files are stored.

With B2 or similar S3 based storage, it's generally in one datacenter. But at least from what I've heard, stuff like Storj or Sia has an advantage from your files being stored over a large geographic area in multiple places.
