A decade and change prior we could have said the same thing about doing in-house chip design instead of just buying off-the-shelf Samsung parts. Or designing their own GPU technology instead of just licensing PowerVR cores. Apple did not have those skills internally and there was no guarantee that those projects would pan out.

If there is one thing Apple is actually "good at", it's hiring people who are good at things they don't specialize in, and using those people to build out their own capabilities. So if Tim Cook decided that they need in-house fabs, they would use their massive cash reserves to hire and buy whoever and whatever they need to set up in-house fabs.
It may be an Ubuntu issue then. I’ve tried to start gnome-terminal on the Linux laptop from the Mac running XQuartz and what happened was a terminal starting on my screen on the Linux box, totally ignoring I was sshing into the Linux machine from the Mac.
sounds very similar, but his has a Bluetooth component that connects it to his phone for calls and different sound "profiles" .

He gets 3-5 days out of it, but he doesn't use it all the time either :-/
The fact that it literally turns into a desk clock instead of turning off by default isn't something?

The fact the creators of it are letting you put it on double duty as a pen holder isn't something?

Are you joking?

-

The problem is you're getting upset someone dared to imply this amazing device is going to end up unused...

As if Teenage Engineering of all companies didn't realize a lot of people will treat these like an interactive desk ornament. So they made it look striking. And maybe thought of a cool way to display it.

Maybe like, a stand. With a pen holder.

As if something that's intentionally niche in functionality and divergent in design is never released in limited quantity to double as a statement piece... (Not a chance: https://www.kanyewest.com/)

I know HN users do enjoy purposefully acting like they lack basic context on things they're braying about so they can turn around and go "Cite your sources! How dare you assume I know what I'm talking about!"... but how like how does anyone with any idea what Teenage Engineering is as a company and un-ironically think:

"What blasphemy! To imply their items are aesthetically pleasing enough to become ornaments rather than be heavily used!"
It is an extra compliance cost & financial risk imposed by the EU, with essentially no benefit for the website.

It also provides negligible benefit for any EU subject, compared to what the privacy-conscious users could achieve via self-help for themselves – by not registering, or clearing cookies, or using other tech measures.

Have trillions (or quadrillions?) of EU cookie popups actually preserved any privacy at all? Or just wasted staff time, reader time, & trained a 'consent dialog blindness' into users worldwide?
I agree that 2.5GbE is easier, and I still think AP backhauls are the primary driver for it. AP makers cannot sell multi-gigabit WiFi APs without a back haul that can support them.
As someone who has worked on strategy in this industry, let me just say that Stratechery should be taken as entertainment, not education. The fact that this guy was willing to be a shill for Zuckerberg should show you that his ultimate wet-dream is to be close to these sorts of people, rather than coldly analyze whether the things they do make any sense whatsoever.

There’s a reason FB’s people called up this guy, rather than someone who would be willing to say, “this makes no sense and has no bearing on success for several quarters, if not years. I don’t care about your deflection strategy. Talk to me about the anorexic girls on Instagram and a culture that turns a blind eye to it, because if you lose the young female market the entire game is up.” (Which is the secret of our industry — young females will make or break you.)

It’s easy to look like a super-smart strategy dude when you’re making predictions as an already-big market is getting bigger. For some reason, none of these guys can ever “predict the future.”
I don't see any real killer (technical) feature. But I think that's always been the case for the Raspberry products: you could always get the same (and often better) features in other boards (though this may be less true as of the Pi4 which actually was and still is very competitive in the SBC market).

The Raspberry Pi was developed for teaching, as a low cost board that's easy to work with and that has good community support. It wasn't intended to be the most advanced board for your projects, and you could always find something cheaper if you really wanted and didn't mind the hassle..

The Pico is very similar. You get it for less than 5 eur from official distributors in Europe, you plug it in and it shows up as a USB mass storage device onto which you drop your program and off you go. I can see it being a very popular way to get started with microcontrollers, and just like Arduino, that popularity is not a function of features.

I'm curious to see where they take it though. It's their first in-house chip afaik, and the board is rather bare. I wouldn't be surprised if they release variants with more features.
Sure if you're just describing the patent office's current policy. But based on the number of people who criticize patents for "X with computers" "X over a network" "X with advertising" etc, I'd say most people disagree that's how it should be. Granting monopolies on straightforward implementations of straightforward concepts for simply being the first to register does not drive innovation, it kills it.
> I think that’s one of the reasons why we talk about why do entrepreneurial innovative people want to work in tech? Well, because you can actually work in the virtual world. You don’t have to deal with all the real world regulations and gunk and political problems and all those sorts of things, and it’s very attractive because you can just build.

That does not reflect any reality. If there was no need to care for regulation, guess what - facebook would not be under fire. Google wouldn’t be regulated left and right. There would be no GDPR, there would be no cookie consent.

I have nearly stopped paying attention after that sentence. Frankly, maybe that point is placed strategically in the overall writing because the most interesting question comes later:

> Is there a worry that Facebook is a liability for this future you want to build?

> MZ: Are you talking about the app Facebook?

> You can interpret that any way you want to.

Well, that’s a disappointing frame to the original question.
This might be the first time I’m posting before finishing the article but the audacity of Zuckerberg in this interview is so beyond my ability to comprehend that I’m leaving my cell phone in my apartment and going for a walk. I very recently finally quit what I guess is now “Meta”, And this makes me wish I had earlier.
I wonder what the RF emissions are like on that case.

Genuinely curious, if someone gets one, that has access to the proper test gear, could you look for RF spurs emitted from that chassis?

Some combos of circuit boards, in the wrong enclosures crush WiFi (and cellular). If you ever have persistent WiFi issues in your house, isolate your network gear (modem/router/AP) to a single circuit breaker, and just start killing circuits in the house until your problem goes away.

Then start turning things on until the problem returns.

If you'd like a peek at what views of radio were at the time, much of the issue is dedicated to the topic.

For whatever it's worth, those laws were built around an idea of marriage that's very different than the institution as it exists today.

Maybe it'd help if states were required to provide marriage applicants with property allocation statistics from the last year of divorces, and list every penalty and rule that would execute upon divorcing their spouse. Oh, showing how much money people pay in alimony, and how much divorce lawyers rake in would be good, too.

Maybe fewer people would get married. Maybe it'd prompt some changes.

For duration of effect, at least meth might more closely match an opioid than cocaine (classic speedball). Part of the high danger of speedballs is that the stimulant (coke) wears off much faster than the depressant. Amphetamines have a longer duration of effect than cocaine, I think.
Thank you making an assessment of my character knowing virtually nothing about me.

We don't have to. UPnP works just fine with ipv6 already. (upnp v1.1, appendix A)
Pv never touches the data. It splices the input into the output, /dev/null in this case, so once written, a page is never touched again.

Splice is linux specific though, so you would need to run it on M1.

> SSRIs, which have poor efficacy

Sort of. As I understand it, SSRIs have poor efficacy for mild depression, but have better efficacy against severe depression.

> CBT are useful interventions that can be easily monitored by physicians with modern technology.

The 'difficulty' with CBT, or indeed any other therapy, is it's expensive. And our health care system (at least in the UK) is quite underfunded.

I'm not arguing that recent Apple is a business to be emulated here. However its success is clear evidence that if something is shiny enough and has otherwise good specs then there is a large market willing to pay a large premium for the shiny.
If they did that, the consumption would only go up, resulting in even more overdoses. That’s what happened in Portugal, after drug decriminalization — drug consumption there went up significantly (with exception of heroin, which went down, but it also went down in other European countries at the same time which did not decriminalize it). Full on legalization will increase consumption even higher.

Of course, one might argue that it’s fine, because it’s the drug users themselves who would suffer from this. But, considering the current push to get people vaccinated against their will, for their own good, I don’t expect this argument to work for drugs either… who am I kidding, of course people should have a right to use as much drugs as they want, but should have no right to get a job if they are not vaccinated, it’s 2021 after all.
1/6th of Earth gravity is even better.

Short term: a wonderful tourist attraction. You can nearly fly.

Is it possible that its not 100% shortage problem but rather a problem with Apple's iPhone business? It has been a decline for a while now. They have nowhere as big of a market share and generally they've shifted towards services as a hedge.

Most discussions and news sites report shortage issues but I wonder if there is an underlying deeper reason.
These websites, based on their own internal analyses, have concluded ignoring it completely is not safe for them.

But also, they know that implementing (& maintaining!) compliance, moreso than a simple block, has nonzero cost, while EU readers provide them negligible benefit. So they take the easy way out, given the incentives created by the EU.

And what had been a free bonanza for EU readers – a peek into info sources from elsewhere, easier for the sites to provide than to limit in any way – has had extra friction added by the EU, to the detriment of EU subjects.
Not to worry. Like every other attempt to replace the Internet with a privately owned space for communication, self-expression, and above all content consumption, this one will fail. If it weren't for the inattention to history of today's attention monopolists, we'd really be in trouble.
Thats not worth having an unaccountable 3rd party service intercept all your email.
That effect is true, but the vast majority of big (top-100 in S&P 500) businesses are in relative necessities. That's how you get to be big: position yourself as a critical component in a key consumer value chain.

Take a look at a sampling of the top 50 or so companies by market cap. There's computing & telecom (Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, NVidia, Intel, Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, Broadcom, Cisco), which is fundamental to obtaining products & services these days. Retail (Amazon, Walmart, Costco, Target, Home Depot, and Lowe's). Financial services, necessary for paying for things (JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Visa, Mastercard, Bank of America). Critical enterprise software (Oracle, Salesforce). Health care (United Health, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Abbott Labs, Merck). Oil (Exxon and Chevron).

Of the top 50, the only ones that I think would be seriously vulnerable are Tesla, Netflix, and possibly branded foodstuffs (Coke/Pepsi/McDonalds). Sure, it'll be devastating to the vast majority of companies - but it's companies like restaurants, niche hobby stores, luxury activities, etc, not the staples that make up the S&P 500.

Since it looks like this got put into the second chance queue and there's still not much discussion, here are various musings about URIs:

- First, I don't think this post makes a very compelling case for URIs. I'm not mad it was written, or that I read it twice, I just think it says very little. I think the plea from last year's "Please make your products work with URLs" post is a lot more compelling <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22038065>.

- I want mail servers to use URLs (or URL-looking things, to pre-empt the sticklers in the crowd) for MIME Message-IDs, esp. for "public" messages like mailing list posts, newsletters, or any kind of email that includes any kind of "view this message on the Foocorp website" link. Or, at the very least, I want tighter integration between mail servers and web servers so I can trivially resolve a message over the Web. E.g. if your mail server allows messages signed @example.com to be sent and it's generating something like <3eac99e6-943e-6cea-a336-1797d8dc0578@example.com> for the Message-ID, then I want to be be able to put https://example.com/3eac99e6-943e-6cea-a336-1797d8dc0578 into my browser's address bar. It's okay if you initially return a 401/403 and require me to authenticate out-of-band if the content is not sufficiently public, but this should still be possible. (You don't actually have to make the content live at https://example.com/3eac99e6-943e-6cea-a336-1797d8dc0578 for the canonical URL; return a 3xx and point to the right place.)

- For URLs in particular, I wish more people realized that the relationship between URLs and content does not have to be one-to-one. You can have an unlimited number of names that resolve (via 3xx redirection) to the same resource. Likewise, if you're part of an organization and you find yourself moving things around out of a compulsion to "tidy up" the content hierarchy, but you don't have the power (or wherewithal) to install rules on the Web server to keep the old URLs working (e.g. because the server just uses a dumb files-and-directories-to-content mapping), then please stop.

- When you set up a new laptop or desktop and are prompted to name your machine, you can use that name judiciously. If Alice controls example.net and her laptop is named citrus-micrantha, then she can identify files as <file://citrus-micranthia.example.net/home/alice/Documents/thesis.pdf>. It doesn't even matter that citrus-micranthia.example.net isn't resolvable by software outside the context where she uses that name, e.g. because there are no routes set up on any network-facing equipment. (Note that in Firefox, at least, if you do try to "resolve" these identifiers, they'll actually work, so long as you're doing so on the machine where the file actually lives.)
With the rise of online shopping, the big suppliers are a lot more visible than they were before. I like to read stories on forums sometimes.

It turns out there are more than a couple LSD labs, some having a bigger internet presence than others.

Suppliers will not sell directly to random people, but as it turns out their approved resellers are happy to offer spoonfuls of LSD in powder form to anyone who asks!

Ontario's basic program was a minimum income guarantee. Not UBI. Earned income reduced benefits. And within 10 months a party opposed to the program took over and announced an early end.

What do you think confirmed frivolous spending? What ruled out chronic health issues or other factors?

Your source said 26.2% started education or training. Where did you see this basically did not change?

71.8% who didn't work during the program cited health issues.
> What problems would occur if we were just nat-ing everyone behind those 4 billion IPv4 addresses?

1. Extra latency in voice/video calls which have to go through the TURN-like endpoint rather than directly between the callers.

2. Extra cost of hosting your services, because even on the hosting side we're running out of cheap addresses.

3. P2P networks dying - which means we'd be stuck with centralised providers. (Or at most "effectively federated" networks)
> What changed with the internet?

Someone could click a link on an ad and be on your “catalog” and able to order with very low friction, rather than seeing an ad, ordering a catalog, getting the catalog, then calling in or mailing an order.

(Also, Amazon was initially specifically in books, and got started just after a few giants like B&N and Borders had crushed local independent bookstores and replaced them with giant, discounting, but more impersonal and on average more distant from the customer big box stores, so they were hitting a market uniquely (or at least particularly) primed for a convenient to access heavily discounting remote seller; not only was the internet a sea change

I propose YC create a series of clases on business and economics.

Every time I read through a business discussion on HN I cringe. The lack of understanding is, at times, astounding. And yet everyone thinks they "know" what's going on and base a bunch of conclusions and opinions on exactly nothing.

Sometimes I wonder how it is that people rationalize having these opinions and reaching these conclusions when it is obvious they have not taken a single business class and they have never run a non-trivial business.

I hate to bring-up Dunning-Kruger. Yes, I know, some call it controversial. OK, I won't. I'll call it "talking out of your ass". Because, frankly, to someone with real business experience, this is almost exactly what it all sounds like. People talking about stuff they know nothing about. Not sure why some feel compelled to do that, yet, they do.

If you are a software developer, imagine someone posting a bunch of opinions on a relevant subject and you instantly knowing they have no clue what they are talking about. I don't know, scaling Django. Pick anything you really know and imagine a person "talking out of their ass". Well, that's what it looks like in these business/economics discussions most of the time. You can count the number of people who actually know what they are talking about with one or two hands most of the time. The rest is noise.

I don't know where it comes from, but it is in a range between funny, silly and sad.

The introductory paragraph in the "Editing" section of the post explains the relationship to evil. Reproduced here for convenience:

"Symex’s editing style is essentially Vim-like. While Vim’s Normal mode can be considered a Domain Specific Language for text editing in general, it has the following drawbacks when it comes to editing symexes: (1) it doesn’t have an appropriate noun to refer to symexes (e.g. it only has “words,” “lines,” “paragraphs,” etc.), and (2) the nouns it has are for the most part irrelevant when editing symexes. Thus, it isn’t exactly the right language to use. Symex.el attempts to be “the right language” here by supporting just a single noun — symexes — which, by virtue of its singularity, need not ever be stated and is implicit in every action[2]. But aside from this, Symex mimics Normal mode idioms and conventions. Therefore, a lot of these usage patterns should be very familiar from Vim/Evil even though they aren’t the same — they are the same ideas applied to symexes (along with other symex-specific ideas)."
Most of us would be glad to have one really big idea per lifetime. Zuck's was pretty shitty on all dimensions except moneymaking, but I'd probably still take it.

FYI "incredible" might be a better word here. "Incredulous" would mean that it finds something incredible.
