Likely they did but Apple didn't want to pay more. Apple generally is not known to be flexible when it comes to business deals with suppliers.

This is reported in a profile of Otellini:

> "We ended up not winning it or passing on it, depending on how you want to view it. And the world would have been a lot different if we'd done it," Otellini told me in a two-hour conversation during his last month at Intel. "The thing you have to remember is that this was before the iPhone was introduced and no one knew what the iPhone would do... At the end of the day, there was a chip that they were interested in that they wanted to pay a certain price for and not a nickel more and that price was below our forecasted cost. I couldn't see it. It wasn't one of these things you can make up on volume. And in hindsight, the forecasted cost was wrong and the volume was 100x what anyone thought."

Even non-technical users understand the difference between a blue and a green message on iPhone. There's no reason they could not have made a clear visual distinction with icons or messages or something.
The stock photo companies simply pivot to AI, see companies like StockAI popping up [0]. Getty should also get in this business but it seems they're going in the opposite direction, banning AI generated images.

Ask someone in the banking business (who is over perhaps age 50) what is their opinion of negative interest rates.
Likely very little. But wouldn't that be true of any technology? That doesn't seem like a good metric for determining how much potential impact a technology actually has.

I do agree about technology for technology's sake, but even in cases where the application is wrong, technologies are often repurposed. Viagra was created to treat heart disease.
Most people that I know younger than 30 do. It's slightly biased towards the programming crowd, but not that much.
The biggest difference between an official site survey and you (or him) doing it themselves is liability. It is pretty clear from the language on the site that they aren't accepting legal liability and are just a convenience over doing it yourself using Google Maps or a tape-measure.

I think the article is very well argued, and if this board's closure notice is allowed to stand then it will infringe on Californian's right to simply draw a map of their home or business. His business isn't offering site surveys and doesn't proclaim to, and to be honest even Google Maps/Bing/Apple could be at risk if this board's ability to close/ban this were allowed (they do show property boundaries after all).

The biggest problem they're going to run into is: Who has deeper pockets? Since often in the US legal system that can decide the winner/loser.
It’s not that difficult: you use a PIN/passphrase protected hardware token. Done.
Personally incredulous such basic (and so far incomplete) analysis is finally getting attention in western wonk circles really highlights deficiency in at least OSINT when it comes to PLA watching. It's been clear for years PLA hasn't pursued massive amphib capabilities because every RMB spent on purpose built sealift is one not spent on deterring USN. Building civilian RO/RO to military standards and employing civilian assets, which at PRC scale is massive, was always part of the plan. It's telling once Shugart started tallying PRC civilian fleet capacities, PRC started cracking down on civilian shipping tracking data. Also consider PRC just passed Germany in car exports and major domestic car manufacturers are/will build their own RO/RO fleet (BYD just ordered 8), and it's safe to assume PRC sealift will expand a lot over coming years. Choice figure:

>in terms of square footage & capacity, they could deliver 7 full Group Armies (likely 300K+ troops) & their equipment in about 10 days.

...

> for perspective this is a rate of delivery—in terms of square footage—that by my calculations could deliver every Brigade Combat Team in the U.S. Army in a little over 5 days.

For reference his previous estimate was 8 days because his scraping didn't account for 1M+ tons of capacity.
You can do both, producing hydrocarbon fuels and carbohydrate calories, and also sequestering carbon. Maybe as diamonds, instead of soot to bury.

Yes, you absolutely can trap much more CO2 per unit of collection area with photovoltaics than trees can manage. The trees are cheaper per unit of carbon capturing capacity, but what they bind the carbon into is less useful.

That said, wood can be burned in such a way that only the hydrogen oxidizes, leaving charcoal that, powdered, can massively improve soil quality particularly in rainforests. Up until 500 years ago there was a thousands-of-years-long project doing this in the Amazon, interrupted by plague and collapse.
> When your business partners are world governments, unfortunately mass suffering is the table stakes.

You haven’t mentioned any suffering Apple is causing.

If you mean to say anyone who does business with a government is causing untold suffering, then I guess you are advancing an anarchist agenda. Fair enough.

I don’t think there’s much more to talk about here if you read my posts and come away with this question

> I am a business owner, are you seriously saying I would rather dissolve my business than pay what it costs for labour (assuming i could still make money after paying that much for labour)

Having to pay more for labor as a business when you can is not comparable to being so destitute that selling yourself into slavery is a better idea. It is equivalent to being bankrupt as a company.

> by saving up before they become that desperate.

That’s just hand waving away that it happens, and has happened in the past at greater frequency without government limitations on what rights people have. You started this off with advocating that the government should only set defaults and everything else is on the table and you’re response to asking what we do for people who hit the failure mode is to say “don’t fail”. It’s not an edge case, it’s not outliers. You might think so only because you are a century into heavy government intervention into business/employee relationships and to suggest that this is the natural state and would continue without government intervention is frankly, ridiculous

> The bulk of people who subscribe to nanny state things considers it more apropriate to have a netflix subscription than set that money aside in an emergency fund, assuming they are paycheck-to-paycheck

I felt like I might be a little too hot with my previous section and then I read this line. It’s obvious you subscribe to some equivalent of Calvinist theory where the poor deserve it and you are hand waving away the idea of failure.

This is an ideological position and I hold the opposite ideological position so I think we’ve reached an impasse

That’s not a technical advantage over Yubikeys/SoloKeys, since they also use WebAuthn and are also unphishable.
This post is a bit much.
Does that have to be the case? Look at music streaming. 90% of the content is on 90% of the platforms. They compete more on things app features, devices supported, price and quality delivered than content. In the video streaming side there's loads of competitors but almost zero overlap between them.

Why do you think we rely on Israel for regional influence? I'd say it's the other way around.
Making construction easier just makes those guys lives easier, I doubt it'll result in more housing. Look at the red states with no regulations like Louisiana. They're terrible places to live. Nothing gets fixed with no/low regulation.

I do think his idea about high taxes on a 2nd+ home makes sense. The only problem with it is that it doesn't apply globally, only nationally. You'll have rich people have a palace in the US, Spain, and Australia instead of 3 in the US.

For my own life and approach to this, I moved around a lot and lived in austerity saving up money for a home. I don't want zoning laws to change at all because there's already too many multi-tenant buildings. Pull up the sex and gun offender maps, it's disproportionately those people. And I'm currently a tenant myself (while obeying the laws and having a clean record).

I'd rather see taxes on 2nd+ homes than zoning change. We already built 'out' with suburbs and have plenty of land available for developers to build on and make money. With the internet we no longer have to all live in a city either. It seems to me like his idea, minus the global snag, is generally on the right track.

But I am not a fan of multi-tenant housing near whatever home I purchase, just because of the sort of short-sighted people that often make up renters. They should be in homes anyway, not renting, in an ideal scenario.
It is similar! Years ago I first tried websocketd, which was explicitly inspired by initd, and wished I could build applications on top of something like it. Plane is sort of a natural evolution of that.

Of course, one of the big differences with initd is that it runs on a cluster of machines instead of locally, which turns out to be most of the difficulty.

>Does Apple decide to give everyone more perks just 'cause?

No, in the absence of unions and regulations, companies provide more perks and compensation when they need to in order to higher or maintain workers.

Classic supply and demand. If you can't hire a worker for X dollars, you raise the salary to x + 1. Companies do it all the time when they can't find the workers that they need
This seems to ignore the reality that developers live in. Build it as cheap and fast as possible and try not to think any more about infrastructure than you are forced to by the local government.

> Every sufficiently complex framework-free application contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of a framework.

This is simply false.

On the other hand, every sufficiently complex framework-dependant application is way too complex for what it does, and would be a lot simpler if it was not using said framework.

> My last and--to me the most significant--observation is this: You want to pay the majority of your attention to the code that has the greatest impact on your desired outcomes.

One of your greatest desires should be to have strong propietry technology that you control. Otherwise you are not different from anyone, and anyone can duplicate your work in two months by just using the same framework.
No. They haven’t been for a very long time. ~2008, iirc.
Hire Jim Keller back and build the next thing instead of milking the same customers.

The company developing a competent alternative to the M1/M2 or nvidia GPU is going to have a good business.

Seems to me that Intel is alway in this cycle of greatness and then crash while sitting on their laurels. It seem they need to have a fire under their buts to make the right decisions.
Intel repeated their Prescott (Pentium 4/Pentium D) strategy of completely removing power limitations on their team to beat AMD.

As a result, the Intel processors have TDPs and real world power usages >2.5x that of a comparable Ryzen. Sure, they're winning, but at what cost? The 12900K at 240 watts pulls almost the same power as a 280W 64-core Threadripper.

AMD is responding in kind, with new top-end processors pulling 170W, or higher with their built-in overclocking that pushes the chip to even higher power draws as long as cooling permits. This looks to put them back into the lead, but it's just not a sustainable strategy.
I think it'd be fun to have a 3D game with the explained 2D navigation mechanics... Looks like classic Mario Bros, until you shift... Add in some 3D baddies and a 3D observer mode, where you can see everything while "watching" players in the game.
> I don’t think any EU country legalized same-sex marriage by court order. I’m also not aware of any European country where abortion was legalized by court ruling. The US Supreme Court is unusual in running roughshod over the political process as much as it does.

Any thoughts about whether, in EU countries, it might be easier for the political process to make changes via legislation and constitutional amendment --- as opposed to the U.S. system of giving minority interest groups such extensive blocking rights?

(The U.S. system sometimes reminds me — and not in a good way — of the liberum veto of the old Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, in which every (noble) member of the Sejm, or parliament, could block government action. Historians seem to agree that, over the long term, this arrangement was seriously-bad news for the Polish nation; quaere whether the U.S. might go down that path itself.)

Historically WhatsApp filled in where SMS was harder to use, and places tended to use either WhatsApp or SMS ubiquitously. So the communities most affected by Signal dropping SMS don’t have an existing social need for WhatsApp.
So in other words, only people with a reputation for integrity should have to abide by the law, and as long as someone is a known pathological liar, they should be allowed to defame and send armies of trolls to harass anyone they feel like, whenever and as often as they like?
what about the other 80%? presumably the comment holds for that?
Why store CPUs in conductive foam? How is it better than something non-conductive?
I'm having trouble replicating my own success from that era. Everything is more complicated today: the development stacks, the competitive landscape, the vast increase in regulations and liability around handling data, the move from an open web to social media silos and mobile apps, scammers and bots winning the spam wars and destroying most online advertising. I still have businesses I started in the 2000s and early 2010s that are very successful, and not so much that's newer and doing as well.

My non-tech ventures are doing well which is nice for a change of pace after decades of coding, though. I bought a bunch of relatively cheap (3-4 figure cost) manufacturing equipment and turned a spare bedroom into a workshop for designing and creating physical goods. I have a line of home decor that sells well enough that I'm dropping a stack of packages off at the post office 5 nights a week.
What positive side of a cycle will cause a resurgence in personal computers in the age of mobile? Servers are increasingly using custom purpose built chips. Intel would be better off being a fab.

That doesn't make a lot of sense to me

1. It's multi-device at least when we're talking about non-phones; that's one of its better features, being able to use it from your Mac or iPad

2. You can make an iMessage account without having an iPhone; just having an email/Apple ID and some other Apple device to use it from

3. If you had an Android phone, presumably you wouldn't also have an iPhone at the same time? And even if you were using it on an iPhone, it seems like nothing stops you from being logged in on a second iPhone
My experience is the exact opposite.

Frameworks have a very narrow compatibility and accessibility range, and to get the other (often more than) 20% requires extra hackery which has to be bolted onto the framework in ways that were not foreseen by the framework writers.
A lot of the stuff is automated at this point. Datasets are pulled automatically and website scrapers have been built for 15+ years.

Gary Brewer probably just maintains the system by himself these days.
If you don’t trust yourself to have backup keys, you use the Google or Apple ecosystem. As long as you can get back into your Google or iCloud account, you can get back into every other passkey-protected website. You can also use third-party “cloud” password managers if you prefer.

WebAuthn lets you dial the convenience/security tradeoff exactly however you prefer. I’ll be using hardware tokens, but I’ll be telling non-technical people to use their existing smartphones.
The owners voting results are legally enforced amongst each other. In right-to-organize states employee voting results are likewise enforced amongst employees. In right-to-work it is a state protected dollar-weighted democracy with all kinds of liability limit gifts and intricate rules for protecting minority shareholds for the owners, and nothing similar for the employees.

Democracy of dollars over democarcy of people is the main concern in right to work states, except for Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants, etc. all get union like protections backed by the state and enforced results of voting within their associations, they are the "right" people with enough dollars to have a level of democracy in the workforce.

Early startup founders with products like Sentry looking to market to companies based on their tech stack would probably be their target customers.
'... leave for work. On your commute ...'

This reads like the jetsons.

I agree we should aim for energy abundance, but for what? For a more intense version of the 20th century, with offices, commutes, dinner with the boss, etc? Bah, we need a bolder vision.

We could use abundant energy to largely remove agriculture from the environment. It is the second biggest greenhouse emitter even only by official figures, and by far the most damaging to the overall ecosystem. Grow or culture our food in factories, maybe at sea, and leave the land to nature.
Don't all fido2 yubikeys support webauthn? They have the advantage that they can't be cloned/sync/etc. Might be an inconvenience for some but for me that's an advantage.
just a reminder, whether this is an urban legend or not:

1) the pie is big enough, you just have to convince pie holders to give their pieces to you

2) you only need one client to generate all revenue, but many small clients is more intuitive

3) there are many individuals and companies sitting on large revenue streams. headlines come from people that need to advertise, not the ones that don’t.
There are some bad points for RCS like encryption, but still it's far better for openess/compatibility compared to iMessage. Perhaps good to have as an alternative to MMS for fallback of iMessage.
> Jaitly acknowledged it takes less time to clone an app than it does to build it from scratch, but still, he said it goes to show the amount of effort, time and money it could have taken.

Maybe the gov did overpay. But it's silly for a "cover band" to play (e.g.) "Satisfaction" and then say anyone can be The Rolling Stones. That Mick & Co are an over-compensated commodity.

Mustang Chief Engineer Says New Car “Much More Difficult” to Tune
Key points:

The S650 Mustang switches to Ford's new electrical architecture, which is totally encrypted.

Mustang chief engineer Ed Krenz told Ford Authority that as a result of the switch to FNV, the S650-generation Mustang will be "much more difficult" to tune. According to Krenz, the entire system is encrypted to protect user data, and if the system suspects someone is trying to modify its code, it can shut a component or the whole vehicle down entirely. So, you could make some nice hardware upgrades to your engine, but you won't be able to tune it to run at its best.
> low end of carbon allowed while still calling something steel is .3%

Incorrect. That is the maximum for low carbon steel (also called mild steel - the most common form of steel).

Wikipedia says “The carbon content of steel is between 0.002% and 2.14% by weight for plain carbon steel”. “Plain carbon-iron alloys with a higher than 2.1% carbon content are known as cast iron.”

The author carefully distiguishes precisely what type of framework they mean. The definition includes multiple parts, but the part that really stands out to me is that a framework dictates the overall flow of control.

The suggestion in TFA is to ensure that you consume your dependencies in a decoupled fashion, a move toward utilizing libraries rather than following a framework.

I've spent lots of development time in highly-constrained environments that often feel more like a framework than a true platform. When given the opportunity, I'm inclined to follow the author's suggestion to keep dependencies decoupled. Even supposedly fundamental dependencies will eventually need to be swapped out, even if just for a v2. But your domain core should be making monotonic progress towards the distillation of your key concepts and relationships.
