> For their computer platforms. Apple has been using ARM since the Newton.

The Newton used a regular ARM design (that was back when Apple owned a huge chunk of ARM). They used 3P ARMs for the main processor of other devices for years (e.g. time capsule or some video dongles).

That one sentence of mine you referred two made two points: 1 - it took a long time for apple to get to the point where they could replace external designs as the core processor for a device (starting with the phone) and 2 - that they had by that time quite a bit of experience for using their own designs for subsidiary processors inside their devices. All of that is a pretty complex undertaking.

> If you build a commodity computer based on the same components everyone else has access to, your margin will be squeezed. If your product has different characteristics than your direct competition and that difference is advantageous on a given segment, your competitors will have trouble moving in.

Well, it’s all about where your locus of differentiation is; all else you want to commoditize. It’s not like Apple makes their own DRAM, and those suppliers are the ones that get their margins squeezed (especially by Apple — look at who their CEO is).

And the lack of a CPU design team is a competitive advantage for the MediaTeks of this world, even if it’s not exclusive to them. Instead the very lack of exclusivity in cpu has a network effect value for them. This is what killed arm competitors like MIPS.
I owned two ferrets for a few years. You can have all the time in the world and read up as much as you want, but very few people have what it takes to deal with these wonderful feral shitheads.
On the other hand there are also plenty of stories about dogs and cats saving kids too.

One of my earliest memories is from being out back and seeing something interesting that I wanted to go pick up and play with, and our dog (a little wirehaired terrier) getting between me and it and forcing me back despite my attempts to get around him to get to the interesting thing, while barking his head off until my mom came out to see what was going on.

The interesting thing was a large rattlesnake.
Climate depends on a lot more than latitude. Madrid is at about the same latitude as New York.

But also, the climate impacts on a given society will depend on its vulnerability and coping capacity in other ways. E.g., prevalence of air conditioning, or urban vs. rural, or mix of occupations.

There really are no animals that are safe to be left alone with children under 6. Critters of any species are liable to bite or scratch if they are badly hurt, scared, or trapped, and kids are clumsy, energetic, unpredictable, and often very rough with animals (usually without any malice, of course). And with small animals (e.g., cats, ferrets, dogs under 10 lbs), an unsupervised 5-year-old is a danger to the animal, too. A kindergartener tripping and falling on a tiny animal like that can break bones!

Animals can be great with kids and vice-versa, but it's really important to always maintain supervision with kids and animals.
The European Commission has been unable to find the text messages exchanged between president Ursula von der Leyen and the boss of giant pharmaceutical company Pfizer, the EU executive said in a letter to the EU ombudsman published on Wednesday (29 June).

Last year, the New York Times first revealed that von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla had been exchanging texts and calls for months to seal a deal for 1.8 billion doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine.

The messages were then requested by journalist Alexander Fanta of news site netzpolitik.org, and a regular EUobserver writer, given the importance of the deal.

But the commission's refusal to grant access to these communications prompted the EU ombudsman Emily O'Reilly to criticise how the commission handled this freedom of information request.

Earlier this year, O'Reilly found that the commission staff had never explicitly asked the president's office to look for the text messages — calling on the EU executive to do a more exhaustive search.

The commission now says that it is unable to find such messages, but it previously argued that this type of "short-lived and ephemeral" communications do not fall under the scope of EU transparency rules on access to documents.

"The commission can confirm that the search undertaken by the President's cabinet for relevant text messages corresponding to the request for access to documents has not yielded any results," the EU transparency commissioner Vera Jourova said in the letter to the ombudsman.

The commission's response has been slammed by the ombudsman's office as "problematic" — with a full analysis expected to be published in the coming weeks.

In its response, the commission also says that it is considering recommending its staff not use messaging apps in a business context — which would, as a result, eliminate the need to keep a record of such instant communications.

Nevertheless, the lack of transparency surrounding these texts has triggered outrage among MEPs and civil society organisations — who criticised the commission for using tricks to avoid accountability.

Belgian socialist MEP Kathleen Van Brempt, who chairs the parliament's special committee on Covid-19, deemed the commission response as "unacceptable".

"The complete lack of transparency benefits the industry, not the European citizens," she tweeted.

The campaign SumOfUs has collected nearly 130,000 signatures in the EU to ask von der Leyen to publish the text messages.

Meanwhile, MEPs have been calling on the commission to reveal information on vaccine prices, since only a small group of lawmakers had access to heavily-redacted versions of the contracts.

> wouldn't the average temperature going up be a net positive for temperature related deaths?

A higher average temperature indicates higher energy, which means more chaotic weather, worse storms, more flooding, longer droughts, colder cold days and hotter hot days. As for numbers, you can roughly approximate the cause of death from the difference between an "average" day and an extremely hot or cold day. There's no need to approximate the deaths from the increasingly frequent "once in a lifetime" storms and floods.
The top sellers in LEGO city are always police, fire, then a close tie between mechanics and hospitals.

They've said that a main reason is there's a direct visible story with those, and their main customers are boys (not as much with LEGO Friends which is their first girl-oriented and successful line) and boys want conflict/story. "Save the people from a fire" or "catch the robber" - even a hospital falls a bit short there.

The old joke is LEGO City has fifty five thousand police stations, almost as many fire stations, one gas station, and one house.

The current hospital: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/hospital-60330 goes up against (at my count) two police stations, two fire stations, and some various "smaller" police/fire sets.

To be fair, LEGO has always had houses available, but they often fell under LEGO Classic or LEGO Creator (and now LEGO Friends).
Higher average temperatures (climate) lead to more extreme temperature events (weather).

How do people still not understand this?
I love these first hand accounts from the 80s.

My very small related story is in '89 I was in Dallas and got a contracting gig from Aldus to work on Persuasion (Aldus' competitor to PowerPoint) for the Mac. I showed up for my first day, but the guy I was supposed to work for wasn't there yet so the office manager got me a desk and a notepad and IT came and made sure the Mac on my desk was properly connected to the network. After an hour or two of twiddling my thumbs and trying to look like I was doing something productive, my boss came in to say "oh. looks like a lot of us were laid off today and we're canceling your contract."

The Aldus guys were reasonable about it and gave me 2 weeks severance just for holding down the chair for two hours.

It has to be the shortest professional gig I've ever had.

My intuition would say that surely can't be true, given recent history. Both WWII and the Cold War advanced technology tremendously. Sure, most of it would have happened anyways eventually, but advances in aviation, radar and nuclear would have taken decades longer. Our space launch capabilities are by many metrics only now catching up to where they were under war conditions 50 years ago. Who knows how long it would have taken if the Germans didn't invent the V2 to bomb London, and the Americans and Russians didn't develop it into intercontinental missiles, culminating in a space race for ideological superiority.

That said, this might all be recency bias on my part. Historically war has been a big drain on scarce resources, most of all non-agricultural manpower. It's hard to advance society if everyone who isn't on the fields is working on war-related things.

Then again, without the military demand for better barrels and stronger steel, would we have developed the technology that enabled the pistons and steam engines that powered the industrial revolution?

> NATO is currently not, however, engaged in any effort of nuclear arms reduction.

START I, SORT, and New START (which is currently ongoing) don't count? And INF, though that was shelved due to Russian breaches (Kaliningrad cough), but even without that it wouldn't have had much more of a future due to it being bilateral, with no Chinese involvement.

> I have to say, I consider MAD theory to be completely misguided, and also morally wrong to engage in nuclear retaliatory attack.

MAD is irrelevant for this question. It's about stable vs unstable conditions. When everyone in the room has a gun, there is balance. If everyone in the room provably has no gun, there is also a balance. The former balance is vastly more stable than the latter, because even a fractional gun in the latter scenario changes the picture dramatically, while doing approximately nothing in the latter. Consequently, the value of an individual gun goes up hugely as the total number of guns in the rooms approaches zero. Russia having one more nuke today? Buys them virtually nothing. Someone finding a nuke in the basement in the utopian nuke-free world? They own the world.

It's an inherently unstable setup. Nukes will never go away and trying to do so is the most dangerous thing anyone could try to do. It's perhaps the least probable example of trying to put the genie back in the bottle. The best we can do is multilateral reduction in lock-step and preventing proliferation to more states.

Storage, compute and networking mostly. I'm confused by your question - are you suggesting that early stage startups couldn't possible generate a workload to warrant that cost? Maybe if your idea of a startup business is limited to running a basic CRUD app. But other data-intensive projects have engineering needs that can easily reach that scale, especially in the early days when you're trying to bootstrap your data catalog or ML models or whatever.

In Accepting an honorary degree from the University of Notre Dame a few years ago, General David Sarnoff made this statement: “We are too prone to make technological instruments the scapegoats for the sins of those who wield them. The products of modern science are not in themselves good or bad; it is the way they are used that determines their value.” That is the voice of the current somnambulism. Suppose we were to say, “Apple pie is in itself neither good nor bad; it is the way it is used that determines its value.” Or, “The smallpox virus is in itself neither good nor bad; it is the way it is used that determines their value.” That is, if the slugs reach the right people firearms are good. If the TV tubes fire the right ammunition at the right people it is good. I am not being perverse. There is simply nothing in the Sarnoff statement that will bear scrutiny, for it ignores the nature of the medium, of any and all media, in the true Narcissus style of one hypnotized by the amputation and extension of his own being in a new technical form. General Sarnoff went on to explain his attitude to the technology of print, saying that it was true that print caused much trash to circulate, but it had also disseminated the Bible and the thoughts of seers and philosophers. It has never occurred to General Sarnoff that any technology could do anything but add itself on to what we already are.

Ferrets are, like dogs, heavily play-focused animals. For people who can't own a dog-sized animal, ferrets are an excellent choice for active pet owners. Your rabbit or guinea pig is literally going to sit there, eat, and poop. Ferrets are one of the only small pets you can really actually play with.

I think they're extremely good pets for kids, because they're friendly, active, (relatively) robust and much less likely to cause harm to a kid than a larger animal like a dog.

It is certainly not true. Many getting that assistance are not poor. It's not just about wealth. If you're cut off from basic necessities, you need support. You can't just eat your dollar bills. It isn't just to help the poor. It's to rebuild communities so they can be productive again, including the very wealthy in that community.

> Please state the goal of helping people with student loans. Is it because the student loans are causing them to be poorer? If yes, then you have your answer. Help all poor people, regardless if they decided to invest in a overpriced education.

Some would argue this. This isn't what I would argue. I would say most that would benefit are certainly not poor.

> Subsidizing people spending their 18 to 30 years learning things or partying or whatever that people in the US and around the world are not interested in buying is also a misallocation of resources.

You can argue that you think the benefits of loan forgiveness are not there and we shouldn't do it for x, y, and z reasons. That's valid. Your argument that loan forgiveness is invalid because everyone should get the same instead, is what I don't necessarily agree with.

I read one expert describe the Phoenix pay system as "garbage in, garbage out". The government signed hundreds of separate collective bargaining agreements with public sector unions, each with their own different rules for pay, overtime, etc, making the system highly complex. Because of this complexity, the software handling it is full of bugs. Arguably it's partially a failure on the government's part not to negotiate a standard set of pay practices.
This is a fair point, and valid and true.

However, for better or for worse, it is not the Linux way.

Maybe it should be, but it isn't.

I can't think of a single Linux app that self-updates this way. I suspect that on most distros, permissions issues would prevent it.

I also suspect that if it were easy, Google would have done it. It is not a company that does things the hard way for fun.

Packaging apps as distro-native packages isn't trivial but there's tons of existing tooling for it. Ditto for hosting repos.

So what Google did is package stuff so that it adds its own repos when you install it, and then it is left up to the OS to keep it updated.

That to me says that that was an easier job than writing self-updating Linux apps, like Chrome on Windows or on macOS.
