The math here depends on the retail presence and the margins that Apple already has. You don't want to be without your phone or laptop for even one day if you can avoid it. This customer experience doesn't happen without you being able to get to an apple store.
This makes me laugh when the median sales price for homes in the US are $408,100 [1] in Q4'21 and in Canada it's $720,850 [2].

And before you try and convert currencies, Canadians are paid in Canadian dollars and typically have lower wages (dollar for dollar) than Americans.

I posted the link and a first comment with that description - I guess a moderator must have merged them together, unless that's a new undocumented feature of HN?
I once had a similar disagreement with someone on a public internet forum. Their statement wasn't wrong per se, because the factors we were arguing about were based on a well defined mathematical relationship. I just thought they had the cause and effect relationship backwards. I put forth my best arguments but were unable to convince them. The same fate might befall you if you try to push this issue, although you have nothing to lose with a private communication.
This might not work in your case for various reasons but, if you live in California:

“ LPT: If you live in California, manufacturers of most household electronic goods that sell for more than $100 have to provide spare parts for up to seven years, regardless of warranty status. If they can't make the parts available to you, they have to buy the product back from you.”

You're going to keep a framed broken phone on your desk forever? Ok man.
Twitch is a bad example, they are owned by Amazon who sells their own TVs and they dropped their Roku app after Amazon bought them presumably to try to get people to buy their Fire sticks instead.

As far as I know you won't see Twitch on any built in TV os other than android and amazon's version of android. That's hardly Samsungs fault.
Don't look now but the market value of most web sites is zero. People pay nothing to use them.

At the moment, flakes is an evaluation-time thing (thus client-side) so no restart of nix-daemon is technically required. However, if you are upgrading from 2.3 to 2.4+ it's best to restart the daemon, otherwise other things like build log output can be messed up if you try to mix client-daemon versions.
My takeaway has been that the fastest growing (especially consumer-oriented) tech companies put up the highest bars to hiring, simply because they'll still get enough candidates to end up with enough people. IBM can't be as picky as Roblox.
French is even weirder because the adopted words are often pronounced in a completely different way than the original. We encountered that 2 days ago when my children (who are bilingual French/German) tried to explain to me about the Highland cows they learned about in a book they got. They book had instructions to pronounce the word so it sounded like "Island" so I got quite confused, if this was cows form Ireland or maybe Iceland.

It's not quite a chicken and egg problem. Features like ZNS come into existence in the first place because they are desired by the hyperscale cloud providers who control their entire stack and are willing to sacrifice compatibility for small efficiency gains that matter at large scale.

The problem for the rest of the market is that the man-hours to rewrite your software stack to work with a different storage interface that allows eg. a 2% reduction in write amplification isn't worthwhile if you only have a fleet of a few thousand drives to worry about. There's minimal trickling down because the benefits are small and the compatibility costs are non-zero.

Even simple stuff like switching to shipping drives with a 4kB LBA size by default has very little performance impact (since drives are tracking things with 4kB granularity either way) and would be problematic for customers that want to apply a 512B disk image. The downsides of switching are small enough that they could easily be tolerated for the sake of a significant improvement, but for most of the market the potential improvement is truly insignificant. (And of course, fancy features are a market segmentation tool for drive vendors.)
First of all, differential equations can generally be verified to be valid solutions by evaluating the solution functions. So you don't have to cross-validate to check the output.

Mathematica does this for you. If it can't, it'll complain that the solutions are incomplete or are likely invalid due to numerical error somewhere.

Chaos theory is highly relevant here -- there is no way to directly compare two numerical solutions to many ODEs if anything is different. Unless the code is literally the same down to the machine instruction levels, all bets are off. Even floating point rounding error will result in sufficient noise to cause divergence.

Mathematica -- like most of mathematics -- is not designed to operate in a vacuum, outputting solutions that are simply published as-is. Everything you do with it should be rigorously proven and/or verified in some way to make sure that it makes sense. This ought to be the same with any tool. You don't necessarily need to know all of its internal details in order to do this. Like I said, run the equations forwards, substitute solutions, use symbol and numerical methods, graph the results and make sure they make sense, etc...

Oh hell no. The most important aspect of markdown to me is that it is human readable in text file format. I can be quite certain that in 500 years (assuming humanity lasts that long and still has computers) that my notes in markdown will still be completely legible.

Interesting! So you're saying e.g. a legal practice can never be run by non-lawyers? That does seem to make sense.

Still, what about cases like a legal counsel for a firm? Surely in those cases, the manager of the lawyer is the CEO, who might not be a lawyer himself?

Anyone looking for even cheaper backup storage, AWS Glacier Deep Archive is $1/month/TB. Retrieval costs are high though.
Maybe this is just the natural consequence of societal development. Throughout human history, people tend to congregate in urban areas which in turn increases land value. This will only accelerate in the coming decades. It's a bit naive to expect wages and *house* prices to move in tandem in perpetuity. Owning a house isn't a right, but I think owning an affordable home (e.g. apartment) should be.
Not a joke, I seriously would expect lots of Trump admin people to have panic attacks.
But it might be that if people pretend to be happy they try to invent reasons why they should be happy and as they tell themselves and others why they (say they) are happy they start being a bit more happy.

If you really want to fake happiness the best way is to try to be happy
The same way Consumer Reports keeps their good name, despite a seeming nosedive in ethics — nobody knows/notices, nobody cares.

Seemingly low consequence game for them to play.
Apple was for a long time known here in Norway to refuse to follow the consumer protection laws, so they were the worst of the bunch. So bad that lots of big retailers stopped selling Apple products for years, because the retailers had to take the costs when Apple refused.

It's better now, but not better than others or even worth mentioning. If anything, I feel people now are familiar with Apples help because their stuff keep breaking. Like the prev gen MBP I had was a mess, only computer I've ever had to repair. And even multiple times.

In Norway (and most of EU I guess?) there's laws that goes beyond warranty. So for the first half year, they really have to prove you did something out of the ordinary to break your product. Apple is notorious for saying some sensor is triggered and therefore you misused the phone. But those sensors can triggered from using the phone in normal winter conditions..

(And then for the next 4.5 years the burden of proof isn't that strong, but they still have to fix or replace broken devices, not however long a producer's warranty claims)
Perfect! The last bit can be used to indicate a valid key. ;)
It’s all just show. Forget the rules. America runs the world, does whatever it wants and ignores the UN as it pleases. When other countries do it, they get sanctioned or bombed. And Russia and China are out to change that unipolar world, cause America is out of control. And has been for a long time already.

Growing up, KTLA5 definitely always was the less polished cousin of ABC7, KCAL9, and NBC4. Much more “local” in feeling than the other three mainstream channels.

It also had the primetime lineup that was the, quirkiest and the shows on The CW definitely had a certain charm to them compared to, say, ABC’s or CBS’s dramas.
The likelihood of some benevolent person going to the trouble of writing such a blog is close to zero so you can assume any such site is going to be optimised some degree.

The 3D model will differ from the actual construction. From the very beginning and more and more over time. Documentation is hard enough for software projects. Why would we expect documentation quality of construction to be better?

I can see this being used for retrofit designing. Use a LiDAR point cloud to create a model of an existing open facility, all the exposed machinery and piping. Then suggest changes for future installation and have current staff walk through the plant checking the virtual future piping/etc.

We already do that without the 3D glasses though. Just 3D rendered to computer screen.

As a SoCal native I still remember watching Hal Fishman in the early 90s as a child, and vaguely watching him discuss the fall of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin wall, OJ chase and trial and then more vividly watching car chases that interrupted my after school cartoons.

As someone who started learning Objective-C only after Swift become firmly established, I have to say I strangely like the language. I picked it up fast and have had no issues with adding features to a legacy codebase.

When I started, I thought it would be some complicated beast, but no - its a reasonably simple and elegant C superset with the only disadvantage of some extra verbosity. (but Apple API's suffer from verbosity as a principle)

I have to wonder: why did Apple create Swift ? Objective-C is quite nice, especially for C/C++ programmers. With Objective-C++, interop with C++ libraries is also terrific. Swift offers nothing like this yet.
The funny thing is that because of this English native speakers are incredibly good at understanding you even when you mispronounced words quite a bit.

This is very different to some other languages (e.g. Japanese is famous for it), where only a slight mispronounciation usually means nobody will understand what you're saying. I have encountered this many times, I pronounced a word just how I heard it and people were just giving me blank stares, only when I showed the spelled word did they get it. I never encountered this with English native speakers.

Sure. Unfortunately NATO won't accept them as long as they have territorial disputes with another country.

Short term the US should have given Ukraine their own nukes and Russia would have backed of.
An alternative to have a company fix your expensive gadget is to do it yourself. I think about the Framework laptop. In your situation even if the company declined payment (then I wold be disappointed), I would have sucked it up and ordered a new trackpad and installed it myself.

Why do you trust the YouTube channel more than CNN? What has it done to earn your trust?

Would you trust it more than Fox News? Than Reuters or the AP? How come?

It makes little sense to be intensely skeptical of the quality of news from a large news corporation, even a biased one, and to then uncritically accept the quality of news from a smaller, more anonymous organization.

A Google search for the channel that you linked gives me absolutely nothing that signals to me they are trustworthy, and quite a bit that suggests they are not. How did you find them?
reding the entire thread here, i think you guys have a real issue with customer protection laws.

here, we have an EU law that says that anything bought online can be returned in 14 days no questions asked. also, the warranty is for 2 years minimum.

yeah, i know it’s a socialist law, but you can bet anything on the fact that corporations will get out of their way to increase their profit. maybe caring for people should be more important.

Where else can you get a relaxed "i feel like taking the afternoon off (my personal take back then when i was windsurfing - the wind has picked up very good, and thus i'm gone)" $500K+/year just for memorizing a bit of stuff? We have it best in the history of humanity. Yet still the whining. Until one has a disability preventing mastering leetcode, the failure to do so clearly indicates something like attitude issues and/or lazyness and/or lack of focus/discipline.

I agree, all the way up to entire generations of SDRAM being unable to store data at their advertised speeds and refresh timings. (Rowhammer.) This is nothing short of fraud; they backed the refresh off WAY below what's necessary to correctly store and retrieve data accurately regardless of adjacent row access patterns. Because refreshing more often would hurt performance, and they all want to advertise high performance.

And as a result, we have an entire generation of machines that cannot ever be trusted. And an awful lot of people seem fine with that, or just haven't fully considered what it implies.
