The most recent numbers I've heard of is 75%. So android is typically a battle to the bottom, with various mostly failed efforts, consolidation, various vendors giving up on markets, etc. Motorola (bought and then sold by google), Sony, HTC and many others are not making much profit. Samsung is doing better, but constantly fighting cheaper competitors. Seems like Samsung is doing as well as it is, because of synergies relating to their production of CPUs, having a chip fab, screens, dram, flash, and cameras for the world wide market.

Android's a tough market to be in, you are competing with Google (who makes pixel phones), numerous low cost manufacturers, Apple, and your ecosystem taxed by google through the app store and the market is split among many companies in the android system so it's hard to catch google's services, play store, etc. Not that android manufacturers aren't trying. Amazon made an effort, but seems to have largely given up on calling their devices android.

Really nice analysis of the non-viability of wind and solar:

> Such realities expose the silliness of the oft-repeated claim that solar or wind power have achieved “grid parity,” meaning that they can produce electricity for about the same cost per kilowatt-hour as a conventional machine—when they’re running. To match the energy produced by one conventional machine each year, and for years on end, you need at least two solar/wind machines, plus the batteries. That combination puts the sun/wind/battery option at roughly triple the capital cost of grid-scale conventional power. Even so, the cost for 12 hours of storage at U.S. grid-level alone would be about $1.5 trillion, and that would still leave the nation episodically in the dark. The alternative? A conventional grid with about $100 billion worth of conventional backup/peakers.

The only really sensible option at this point is nuclear and then maybe eventually hydrogen and fusion.

There's a fun wikipedia article [1] on various theories of pre-columbian contact with the Americas. Some of these are very dubious, of course, but the Roman fruit bowl from 2000 years ago does look like it contains an actual pineapple, which is an American fruit [2]. There is also evidence of nicotine and other substances found in Egyptian mummies from even longer ago, which could indicate at least some sort of indirect trade/contact across the ocean.

I don’t get this? I was just watching YouTube on my iPhone and the notch never covers any of the UI elements in either portrait or landscape? In portrait mode it’s got the clock and wifi elements on either side of the notch and when watching videos in landscape both sides of the phone are just black bars including the notch.

Edit: Even zooming in on the video doesn’t hide UI elements only whatever portion of the video overlaps the notch.
There are a good number of them, all depending on locale.

Being Irrational
It wouldn't be a surprise that a CPU that can't run most of the software out there (because that software is x86) and has ditched all compatibility and started a design from scratch, can beat last-gen CPUs from competitors. For specific apps and workloads, for which it has accelerators.

But here I am, with a pretty thin and very durable laptop that has a 6 core Xeon in it. It gets hot, it has huge fans, and it completely obliterates any M1 laptop. I don't mean it's twice as fast. I mean things run at 5x or faster vs an M1.

Now, this is a new version of the M1, but it's an incremental 1-year improvement. It'll be very slightly faster than the old gen. By ditching Intel, what apple did is making sure their pro line - which is about power, not mobility, is no longer a competitor, and never will be. Because when you want a super fast chip, you don't design up from a freaking cell phone CPU. You design down from a server CPU. You know, to get actual work done, professionally. But yeah, I do see their pro battery is 11 hours while mine usually dies at 9. Interesting how I got my computer plugged in most of the time though...

Clayton and his friends at Harvard did a great job justifying how Tesla would not be a long-term disruptor when it expanded into the $35,000 vehicle class. It was a safe and justified thing to say in 2015, but it turns out they were pretty darn wrong about Tesla's future!

The estimate for the birth of our baby was over $30,000 for a normal, natural birth.

It ended up being a c-section, so I can’t wait to see what the actual total is. We don’t have a “healthcare is private” problem, we have a cost problem. Doctors, nurses, medical device companies, prescription drug makers, and everyone else get paid significantly more here than pretty much anywhere else.

Now is definitely not the time to bring up that medical professionals should be paid less though.

When has intel reimagined products that have low power and low price? Intel has been notorious for having power hungry and overpriced stuff.
I saw a post here I believe, generally Tesla seems to have made a car from scratch with sane decisions made when Tesla was small. I've heard engineers claim that the central compute module for Tesla has a level of integration rarely seen outside of satellites.

Large car manufactures typically have empires built inside of them for major areas of the car. Transmission, engine, suspension, chassis, entertainment, etc. Each with financial budgets, staff budgets, weight/size budget for anything in their car.... yes they literally count grams. They fight for their resources.

As a result of their org tree, that impacts the design and connectivity inside the car. Often have different networks of sensors, different CPUs, even different power delivery systems.

Medical and therapeutic marijuana has a wide range of benefits, from depression to Parkinson to glaucoma.

Since your understanding of marijuana usage seems limited to recreational usage and you pejoratively call the consumers "potheads", I'd suggest you turn to the scientific literature, conclusively applied as policy in a growing number of countries, and confront your views to what you'd read.

Yes - Microsoft had credible plans to wall-off app installation via an iOS-stye app store. Valve considered this threat to be viable enough, they developed SteamOS and promoted Steam Machines.

Since then, Microsoft has continued its cryptographic crusade to plug all avenues for loading software that's not Microsoft-approved from pre-boot, right up to the userland. Currently, Microsoft already have a turnkey walled garden

On the contrary you should assume it does unless you explicitly ask otherwise and even then it still might. And the OP is right, when you ask for life insurance they get everything because you have to allow them to ask for all data as if the request were coming from you.

I worked in the legal cannabis industry & I'm pretty sure it's just old puritan values for the most part. There's also a large history related to alcohol prohibition. Long story short, the government agency that handled enforcing prohibition needed something to do after prohibition ended. Then came waves of propaganda associating weed with black people, mexicans, and gays to make white people scared of it. Isn't it kind of weird that we call it marijuana in federal laws? Before, it was all just called "hemp". Nixon ramped it up and created the beginnings of our modern prison state. The US is the most incarcerated country in the world both by per capita and total number (1). Mass imprisonment became a way steal votes away from these communities as well as create a more palatable version of slavery where we currently have people working for $0.25/hour.

The reason why so much research is just coming out now is because it was illegal to study the plant. So it's kind of backwards to say the fertility or any other non-obvious effects inspired criminalization as no science was done until it became legal enough to study.

Modern web design isn't more usable though. This page puts the content front and centre, which is the main thing, and it doesn't suffer from the ever increasing font sizes of designer-driven webpages. It keeps everything stuck in a narrow column, which is unfortunate, but so do most "modern" pages. It doesn't need to be "responsive", it's straightforward enough that reading it on a phone works fine.

One could argue that we are doing the followup even to this day (with the China CLEP programme, India’s Chandrayaan, USA’s ongoing Artemis campaign and others). The deed was done, the minimum bar was set and humanity has been as determined as ever to breach the peak it had achieved back in the sixties even as government funding waxes and wanes. Public interest has not changed in the least.

> Emojis easily combine many many code points into one symbol. It begins with flag emojis such as , which is actually a special “E” followed by “U”, continues with emojis such as (scientist), which is (person) glued together with (microscope) using a special joiner code point, and ends at the absolute pinnacle of code point combinations - the family emoji . How do you make a family? Easy, you take a person (with optional skin tone and gender modifier) and glue it with another person, as well as their children. That way you can easily end up with a single “character” consisting of ten or more code points!

Why do we create unnecessary complexities and then refuse to dismantle them when we start having problems with them? We're so unable to admit mistakes?

In my experience, that is a side effect of the complications mentioned in the GP. It has become increasingly difficult to create RAD tools that work well for both designers and programmers at the same time. Modern tools will usually target one or the other. Example: Even when you get into something basic for the 2020s like a responsive interface, you can't really do that without introducing code because there is complex logic in the break points.
There are always low-hanging fruit, though.

Maybe we are talking past each other, but I am not so sure you “see” the causation the way it probably is (I am reluctant to call myself an authority even after nearly a decade living in Japan, so take my perspectives with a grain of salt). “Western” societies apply corrections the way you seem to ascribe them to Japan: A strong arm and stern reminder. In Japan, it is instead “soft” and more akin to the stern look your mother gave you back in the day. Begging is not something that happens, not because it is immediately clamped down upon, but because it does not happen in the first place because of “collective social restraint”.

In another comment you wrote: “I don't even want to know my neighbors exist”. Since Japan is a more collectivist society, you will be acutely aware that your neighbours exist at all times. Heck, not only your neighbours, but every individual around you at work, in public, etc. and constantly be reminded by your fellow Japanese that you better “behave” and conform according to the perceived norms or get glared at disapprovingly or – worse – even ostracised. At least to my eyes, this is where you find the source of the societal phenomena you seek – not the police or another central authority.

If you think long term, the safest choice today is still web.

Yes Electron is not perfect but you can decide to ignore the market of anti web users complaining about Electron running slowly. They are not that many outside IT social networks and rarely your customers. The alternative to an Electron app is often no app, especially on Linux. And the performances and the user experience is totally fine on recent hardware. In a few years, all users will have hardware powerful enough to run Electron smoothly in my opinion.

I’d be curious to know what’s QA in that breakdown, or where you got that data, and what Tesla’s numbers have been over time.

But let’s assume that’s true. Tesla has been building electric cars for how long? VW is basically just getting started for real (modular platform for all their cars unlike the eGolf), and still makes ICE cars as well.

It’s never a good idea to discount your competitors. I doubt Elon does even if comments on HN do.
