Sort of at the Federal level (though these tend to colloquially be understood/communicated as "income taxes" despite being de jure FICA/payroll).

This _isn't_ true at the state level, where payroll taxes may be paid by an employer and not the employee.

In the end it is a wash.
I guess what’s confusing for me is that the “63% of people don’t pay income taxes” line is usually trotted out to say that the rich are the only ones who pay taxes and everyone is just a welfare queen or something. But it sounds like you are trying to say that it shows that tax avoidance is a real problem and that this a primarily a symptom of the rich being able to hire tax evasion specialists.

If that’s the case then there’s no disagreement from me.
They said you can still charge it via USB-C as well as the magsafe. Your choice.
The 1000nits display (1600nits "peak", whatever that means), is a major selling point for me!
> Seems the value isn't quite there.

The MBPs are astonishingly good machines, but I agree the price is always forces tough questions about value and fit.

I suspect the lack of a Mini update was in part to buffet purchases of these more expensive laptops. So many people are traveling and commuting less now, cheaper Mini's would have undermined sales of the MBP.

I'm running an XDR Pro Display off a 2018 Intel mini with an eGPU, and going to wait out for presumably a 2022 M2 Mini.
> we should all stop writing code for any of those companies.

> The only internet services that ever have a chance of putting the best interests of users first are open source decentralized ones.

This isn't really a practical advice. Most "open source decentralized [companies]" aren't profitable enough to pay a salary for all these engineers - even at a lower rate than they make.

Also, every company is a machine that generates money. That isn't inherently so bad we should abandon all businesses.
It's not a function of capability. I spent $4,000 on a 2019 MBP, including $750 for a Vega 20. It plays Elder Scrolls Online WORSE than a friend's 2020 with INTEGRATED graphics. (I guess Bethesda gave some love to the integrated chipset, and didn't optimize for the Vega. It hitches badly every couple of seconds like it's texture thrashing.)

Whatever AAA games that might have gotten some love on the Mac (and there are some), it's going to be even harder to get game companies to commit to proper support to the M1 models. Bethesda has said they won't even compile ESO for M1. So I will continue to run it on a 12-year-old computer running an ATHLON 64 and a nVidia 9xx-series video card. (This works surprising well, making the fact that my Mac effectively can't play it all the more galling.)

I'm never going to try tricking out a Mac for gaming again. I should have learned my lesson with eGPU's, but no. I thought, if I want a proper GPU, it's going to be built in. Well, that doesn't work either. I've wasted a lot of money in this arena.
Imagine if apple was forced (via anti trust laws) to spin off their CPU division...
I singlehandledly forced the replacement of Expensify at my company after some dodgy billing practices. They incrementally, yet substantially, raised our bill over a period of eight months with no notification to us whatsover. It was hard to detect because our bills were already variable values per month (based on active users).

When I discovered the higher rates we were paying I reached out to support and they said I wasn't notified because I elected to opt out of marketing emails. They wouldn't issue a credit either.

I threatened to cancel service and they truly couldn't have cared less. So we dumped them. Very satisfying. It's a shame - the product was ok. But from my persepctive, F these guys.
Apple put ProMotion in the built in display, so while it can ramp up to 120Hz, it'll idle at more like 24 Hz when showing static content. (the iPad Pro goes all the way down to 10Hz, but some early sources seem to say 24Hz for these MacBook Pros.) There may also be panel self refresh involved, in which case a static image won't even need that much. I bet the display coprocessors will expose the adaptive refresh functionality over the external display connectors as well.
>I would love to be enlightened about the new physics that Apple is using but is out of reach for the other engineers.

Watch Luis Rosmann on youtube.
= delete; allows your users to get a nice compiler error messages when they call a function you don't want them to call, by mistake.

This can allow for instance to explicitely erase overloads and "disable" functions or methods. For instance imagine that you don't want a function to be called with a float, just with a double, because having floats creeping in somewhere would be a bug and you want to catch as many bugs as possible: then you can just do the following.

void foo(float) = delete;
void foo(double) { }

int main()
{
// won't compile:
foo(1.23f);

// will compile:
foo(1.23);
}

without the following line:

void foo(float) = delete;

1.23f would be implicitely converted to a double instead of causing a compile error.

One case where I found it super useful is for instance to disable constructors taking a pointer when you have ctors taking a bool:

struct foo {
template<typename T>
foo(T*) = delete;

foo(bool);
};

int main()
{
void* x = nullptr;
// won't compile: foo f(x);
// won't compile: foo g("blablaba");
}

this (rightly) causes a compile error on both the creation of f and g, while if foo(T*) = delete; was not there then conversions from ptr to bool would happen:

struct foo {
foo(bool);
};

int main()
{
void* x = nullptr;
foo f(x); // compiles :'(
foo g("blablaba"); // compiles :'(
}
Farid Jalali is a gastrointestinal doctor who was an early advocate of cyproheptadine for COVID-19. His tweet-threads about why the SSRI Fluvoxamine and anti-serotonin drugs are helpful to treat COVID-19 are very informative:

https://twitter.com/farid__jalali/status/1350149862457630720
https://twitter.com/farid__jalali/status/1392559708079333379

Dr. Jalali said at some point that the anti-viral drug Remdesivir is basically worthless for COVID-19. Molnupiravir gets headlines, but I think it's a money-grab, as no one will pay to study repurposed approved generic drugs like cyproheptadine and fluvoxamine.

(Dr. Jalali blocked me after I said something about ventilation imploding lungs, but that is literally what happens, via "nitrogen washout", as mentioned in my blog post.)

Science comes with some measure of confidence. The problem has been that this confidence has been purposefully and completely left out of all discussions.
Unfortunately it looks like Apple still has no option to disable temporal dithering or other sources of flicker (PWM, pixel inversion, etc).

A minority of people have binocular vision dysfunctions (like convergence insufficiency) that give them severe eyestrain, headaches and migraines when this flicker occurs. Apple should treat this like an accessibility issue (like VoiceOver) but does not. The current treatment from behavioral optometrists is not always effective.

I recently found a whole community on this: https://ledstrain.org.

If you have expertise in displays, please join us on LED Strain! We were hoping Apple would address these accessibility issues and let people with vision problems use their products.
The "trust the science" people are using science to justify their political positions, which come with them the force of law backed up by government threats of violence.

I agree about today's corporatism environment, with the elaboration of the idea that we've basically gotten into a privatized or corporate based socialist/communist regime vs a government controlled one. The U.S. has questionably railed against socialism and communism for over a century and still does, and yet, it's allowed it to take over from the corporation and private sector, which is arguably much, much worse. Governments, for the most part, at least have some incentives to keep people's interests in mind.

However, I think this sort of corporatism is a natural evolution of capitalism, because capitalism has no other incentives outside of profit and growth.
Hooray for the return of MagSafe and the other ports! Thank you for listening, Apple.

Just one mention of "games" and it's about the display resolution, so it sounds like Apple still doesn't care about getting more game developers on Mac.

> thermal systems move 50 percent more air, even at lower fan speeds.

Does that mean it's even louder than before?
The first issues are local in space and time, the filthy air is an issue but I could see wearing masks, having filters, it's still humanly tangible, nuclear hazard requires more efforts and a small contact means critical disease. For the climate collapse yeah I agree. But still, this is 100+ years of planet wide accumulated foolishness, not a few plant failures.
Well yeah putting the camera below the screen seems borderline insane, but the notch definitely takes away beauty from Apple laptops known for their incredible sense of design.
Can’t answer for music, but as a developer a sure way to waste a lot of RAM is to run a bunch of virtual machines, containers or device simulators.

I have 32GB, so unless I’m careless everything usually fits in memory without swapping. If you got over things get slow and you notice.
Agree- I have been largely disappointed by USB-C. It's been okay as a smaller USB-A replacement for flash drives and mice, but in general the lesson of USB-C is: just because it fits, doesn't mean it works.

My personal favorite annoyance is how chargers and cables are advertised with the wattage they support, but it's really the voltage and current that matters.

If you have a device that wants 20W as 9V/2.22A , your 30W charger may not support that specific combination and will charge much slower than a 20W charger that does.

Edit: Yes, I went to middle school and know that power is voltage times current. My point is: having an equal or higher wattage USB-C charger is not sufficient.

To me using duckduckgo feels a lot like what using google used to be like. Basically it's all about picking the right keywords. This has the advantage of giving more predictable results, but has the disadvantage that it's hard to find something with vague queries (e.g. good luck finding a quote from a movie you've half forgotten).
It'd be interesting if someone set up a series LLC that would stand in for the original user by assignment, fund legal defense as much as the original user is willing to, and would just declare insolvency in the event of a bad judgement.

wrong POV. for each individual user, the increased aggravation is tolerable. For the corporate controller, at megacorps you [apparently] need to use concur and the like. at the level of megacorp, financials must be correctly stated, auditable, and so forth.

kind of like security. why can't you just _trust_ your users to set a strong password and have a screen saver iff they are in an environment where it's helpful?

it's fun (and easy) to pick on concur but the goals of it are completely different than the goals of expensify.
Stablecoin yield accounts don't just beat inflation

>But I’d rather have that than the weasel word non answers approach that many execs take.

They are free to do whatever they want, but the CEO is a representative of the company, not the company itself. I don't care one wink about what the guy handling my business expenses thinks of the POTUS. His opinion on such matters has zero value to me. It was an odd thing to do for any company which is storing sensitive data of its customers.
Hm, ok, I know I am not a typical user today and I am using sailfish on phone, but what is wrong with mounting sftp? I dont need any additional services for streaming and it just works. For music, movies, actually whatever I want to use as long as it only uses the offsets for obtaining the metadata while it doesnt download the whole song/movie/... just to open it.

I don't know the exact timeframe it changed, but I've really noticed the difference around the last few months or so. It feels like it's a lot more common for me to do a search in Google that I would expect to have good results and be genuinely surprised at how every page is total garbage.
I'm a current Googler with C++ readability and I can confirm, you're absolutely allowed to write templates in "leaf node" projects and it's encouraged, especially in cases where templated code reduces error-prone boiler plate. Heck, there are whole Grow classes dedicated around learning how to use variadic templates.
I would need to look it up and and of course it depends on the version, but afaik HDMI usually lags behind DisplayPort in terms of bandwidth and features.

The SD-Card slot I can understand; for Magsafe I feels the same as you that I didn't really care for it, but HDMI... they might as well could have put a VGA port on there haha
It disgusts me how much people around me like to, in lack of a better fitting expression, choke on linkedin's dick. and even worse they will shove it down your throat too... Instagram is a better job search platform in my opinion.
> chargers and cables are advertised with the wattage they support, but it's really the voltage and current that matters.

watts = volts * current
Can confirm. Currently using a P52 with 64 go ram and an Xeon processor, and a 4K screen. Probably cost my company 5-7k after all the enterprise support fees and such. Would much rather have a Mac, the thing is just way smaller and lighter.
The word "may" here indicates that the facts of the case will need to be decided by US Congress, not the BBC. The fact that Congress is considering "criminal investigation" of Bezos over his testimony is both credible and newsworthy, regardless of what the facts of the case are decided to be.
But the classic SIMD problem is matrix-multiplication, which doesn't need full memory bandwidth (because a lot of the calculations are happening inside of cache).

The question is: what kind of problems are people needing that want 400GB/s bandwidth on a CPU? Well, probably none frankly. The bandwidth is for the iGPU really.

The CPU just "might as well" have it, since its a system-on-a-chip. CPUs usually don't care too much about main-memory bandwidth, because its like 50ns+ away latency (or ~200 clock ticks). So to get a CPU going in any typical capacity, you'll basically want to operate out of L1 / L2 cache.

> Oh, wait, bloody Java GC might be a use for that. (LOL, FML or both).

For example, I know you meant the GC as a joke. But if you think of it, a GC is mostly following pointer->next kind of operations, which means its mostly latency bound, not bandwidth bound. It doesn't matter that you can read 400GB/s, your CPU is going to read an 8-byte pointer, wait 50-nanoseconds for the RAM to respond, get the new value, and then read a new 8-byte pointer.

Unless you can fix memory latency (and hint, no one seems to be able to do so), you'll be only able to hit 160MB/s or so, no matter how high your theoretical bandwidth is, you get latency locked at a much lower value.
You might want feedback that tells you something new. But if you're steadily gaining weight and several people have told you, I bet you're less interested in hearing it from another five people every day. Especially if you happen to know that the weight gain is due to e.g. a new medication you're on because you've made a calculated decision that the benefits are worth the unavoidable weight gain, or that you have been eating badly because you're rushed and emotional while caring for a sick parent.
I know Luis, he made a career of complaining that it's impossible to repair Apple devices when repairing Apple devices.

Instead of watching videos and getting angry about Apple devices being impossible to repair, I get my Apple devices repaired when something breaks. Significantly more productive approach, you should try it.
Good question. It's a three part defeat:

First, are you living your own best life? If you ask him "do you want to be limited by comms skills for the rest of your life, in all the ways it affects you and home and at work" he's say "no, I'd rather not have this problem" but then we couldn't really get it to change. So he fell short of his own recognition of what his life could be.

Second, it just limits you. There's nothing wrong with writing parsers and someone has to do that, but there's a difference between "choosing" that and "being limited to it." Versatility and capability is important. Say he wanted to go work somewhere else, the more skills and versatility you have, the more options you have.

Third, even within such a job you're still limited. EG: are you having a technical debate on your team? The better you can communicate, the more likely you are to advocate well for your solution, the more likely your good ideas will materialize, etc.

Knowing apple, there won't be. iPhones don't have this option, but my OnePlus does for the camera hole.
There is no way a SoC is running in the same range as an NVideo 3000 series GPU.

The GPU performance of my M1 Mac Mini is roughly comparable to that of my Pixel 5 and Quest 2--both of which are running the Qualcomm Adreno 650 GPU.

This was for devices that only worked with a stylus, so if you lost the stylus you couldn't use most features of the device anymore.

Modern styluses like the Surface Tablet Pen or Apple Pencil are for drawing and note-taking, in addition to still being able to use fingers on the touchscreen.
That’s not totally fair, though, because Expensify created Bedrock. So it seems that a good bit of their engineering effort has gone in to this technology.
