And the same is going to happen for the web, or “all the world’s information”, as they used to say in Mountain View before they started focusing too much on all the information about their users?

I am a bit sceptic.

Can Google upload all the world’s information to an “AI reader” and can this reader go through all the information about everything in the world and spit back an answer in a fraction of a second?
+1 for Pix. It's great, amazing that the Brazil Central Bank pulled that off, it's better than what people have in most developed countries.

- The knowledge you will obtain in a good CS program will make you a better software developer.

- The degree does open up some doors. Jobs/visas etc.

In the real world(tm):

- You have a better idea of the theoretical limitations around solving specific problems. This has practical applications depending on your domain. There are many common problems in computing applications and your studies will give you the lay of the land in many areas.

- The intellectual challenges and the intensive learning do sharpen your mind and make it easier for you to learn new things. IMO.

- You'll be able to understand papers and other references that are aimed at people with some basic CS/math. Again this has practical implications.

That said most people that just finish their CS degree are just starting on their journey to become good engineers. It should also be said there are many software jobs where you can get by without a lot of theory.
Nationalize a universal payment interface like india did. India, a very corrupt, bureaucratic place with billions of people did it. There’s no excuse but lobbying.

Credit card rewards are evil. They incentivize crafty behavior to secure miles or whatever and shaft normal people who just want to live life and get what’s equitable without playing shenanigans. I’d rather live in a world where when you pay for a coffee, you pay for the fucking coffee. Not a million equations of cashback and miles with perverse incentives.
I'm having trouble finding the behavior you describe in the JVM specification. Except for the special case of signature polymorphic methods, a resolved method must always match both the name and descriptor, as far as I can tell. You linked the invokespecial opcode, but that just talks about how to search through superclasses and superinterfaces to find the target method.
At the same time extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. The refusal to allow anyone to use their samples, or to apparently provide sufficient information to allow someone else to create the material they claim to be a room temperature superconductor, leans to it reasonably being an incorrect claim. Others point to past behavior as indicating this is fraudulent, but I'm just going to assume it's accidental error.
Fair enough. Some of the settings will have performance impact, e.g. the low cardinality type, data skipping indexes, etc. and you have to spend some time to learn and experiment yourself. However it’s a powerful db and even the default settings will work well in the majority of cases.
My main problem with ride sharing is that it allows companies to compete with taxi's by exploiting car owner needing extra income.

In the Netherlands we treat public transport as a basic necessity that should be available to everyone. Not everyone can own or drive a car (too old, too young, too poor, physically or mentally not able, hazard on the road for others), and you don’t want to force everyone to move to large cities where public transport is available: cities are more expensive. In addition, public transport usually has less impact on the environment.

Bussed are sized to need though: areas with lower demand are served by smaller, less frequent busses, or busses on demand. You need to call to reserve a ride. Which is almost like ride sharing, but not at the cost of ride sharing car owners.

Public transport has a large positive impact on a society, and as such doesn’t really need to make a profit. E.g., we all benefit if teachers that can’t afford to live in cites, can still travels into cities to teach children there. The entire society, including the economy, benefits from having the population educated well.
That's so ridiculous for a custom designed space. Why not have team offices?!? Something for 6 to 8 people?

Just about no auto insurance in the US will cover multi-million dollar bills - I know my insurance company maxes out at a $500k limit.
I'm getting close to a similar situation.

I live in Washington and negotiating with my employer about doing a weekend MBA program in Texas. Most, if not all, tuition is covered, I'm staying with family there. However, it's not nothing money-wise. I'm my own with flights.

What I see as a pro, though, is that I'm highly productive on planes and airport lounges. At home, I'm distracted by spouse, pets, Netflix/Hulu/Amazon, etc. I've always been able to focus much more while traveling. I'm confident I can do most of the work for the program in the air, plus I get to hang out with extended family once a week.

I am kindof surprised that Cloudflare introduced e-mail forwarding as a product in 2021. The writing has been on the wall for this kind of thing for a long time. If anyone has a chance, you would think it was Cloudflare, because they are big and have some chance for special handling from the big providers like gmail and even they don't seem to be able to get it right.

I would highly recommend that you get rid of anything that does e-mail forwarding like this. It's really outdated at this point. It worked OK in the mid 2000s but as spam battle has grown it's gotten complicated.

Since you forward every email from provider A to provider B, provider B effectively sees a stream of e-mail from provider A that includes at least some amount of spam (anything that missed their filter). Very often these forwards are used for e-mail addresses that don't get a lot of real e-mail but are maybe used infrequently or old addresses you are maintaining and thus get a lot of spam but little legitimate e-mail and so the percentage of spam that makes it through can be quite high, relatively speaking.

That person is also not an authorised sender for legitimate e-mail under the various antispam solutions such as SPF - if you forward an e-mail from Paypal for example - you are violating their SPF policy of allowed senders. So then the e-mail has to be "rewritten" to pretend it's from an email on provider A, but your e-mail client still has to show it's really provider B.. so it's difficult to determine if that's spam or not.

DKIM helps here.. because the email is digitally signed instead of being recognised by the IP. Except to make SPF not fail, you have to do "SRS" or sender-rewriting as previously mentioned. But that changes the content of the e-mail which breaks DKIM. There are some mitigations for all of this (e.g. RFC7960) but the point is for the small fraction of real e-mail taking these "indirect"/forwarded email flows it usually erodes some ability of the final provider to do effecient spam prevention, or you get caught up in said spam prevention. There are no winners :)

It's then difficult for provider B to correctly spam filter with their own methods. Because the e-mail comes from provider A as far as they are concerned, and, while you can parse and guess based on the headers where it came from before that, it's error prone and not entirely standardised and bunches of that header trail can be forged.

Google offers the ability to pull e-mail into your account with POP or IMAP from a provider that receives the mail into a mailbox temporarily. Or you can setup the domain directly with your preferred provider - e.g. with google workspace, etc. Either of these is a much better method. But I guess you need a non-cloudflare provider currently.

China going to war would destroy most of Apple's production bases and this would force people to use Android due to Samsung being the best fabs not involved.
Of course cleanliness and safety is important. It sucks to ride in a stinking bus next to a passing out hobo. Wether it's 20 minutes or 40 minutes. Same applies if you have to carefully watch your backpack to not have it's bottom cut.
The flip side of that as a consumer is all of those first generation devices we’re also quickly iterated in to the point where the second or third generations were markedly improved. I don’t think I want to spend $3,000 just to have the version that comes out the next year be significantly better.
When I already know what I want to write, especially for MVP or PoC, I reach for the tool I'm most comfortable with.

In my case, it is Perl and HTML/HTTP, and I don't care if it's not "en vogue" in the mainstream, it's the quickest language I can prototype with.

Just because it's not popular anymore doesn't mean it can't get the job done. Especially if you're not using a lot of libraries, there are many reasons to use a less popular language, and few not to.

If your code compiles as both languages, then it is C/C++ code.
Borg is written in C++ as well, and there are no plans to rewrite it into Go, which is mostly used outside Google anyway.

And how things are going in CNCF projects, if Rust had been more mature in 2014, most likely it would have been Rust instead.
I sure hope they bail on it — unless they have an unexpected trick up their sleeve, this sounds like an absolute boondoggle.
Remote work definitely works for some companies and not for others. If football player X never lifts weights and player Y lifts weights a lot, and they have similar levels of performance, it does not follow that lifting weights is unnecessary for a successful football career. It just means that it's unnecessary for player X.

You're not making a great sell here... you're just saying that this is a thing that a corrupt country does and therefor others should.
In the last quarter, that equates to $9.48B, which by anyone’s standards is a pretty good business. The company I work for arguably makes more “important” products, but we’d be incredibly happy with that revenue!

Only if you insist on buying new and fancy.

Here in backwaters of eastern europe, cars are freedom for everybody. If you're poor and live in backcountry... Get a car for €500 and go wherever you want. If you're poor in the city, you can do the same. Just find a makeshift parking spot. E.g. convert an unused lawn into a parking lot with your neighbours.
You won’t sell this idea in Europe. Here the price tag for anything is the full amount you pay - including all commissions and taxes. People use debit cards, the paid amount is immediately deducted from bank account. If customers are forced to calculate how much they actually will spend on each transaction, they will instantly switch back to cash.
Burying used plastic in the ground seems like a better way to capture carbon. Forrests can catch on fire and the trees decay over time releasing the stored carbon back into the atmosphere. Why not bury all the plastic that's produced onced it's used rather than try to recycle it. We know that recycling it is mostly a waste of time and energy. Also, we don't seem to want to switch to any type of substitute. Plastic has the advantage of being very stable over time and can hold on to the carbon it contains for a very long time. Additionally, if we are smart, we can bury all of it in one place. We can then mine it should we ever need the material in the future.

I thought about burying trees. But decomposing plant matter has the side effect of releasing methane which is a climate change gas that we need to manage. Leaving us in the same situation.
Isn't this price fixing and collusion?
> Historically: It has practically never been a good bet to bet against Apple, even if all the logic says to [1]. This time could be different. I would not bet on it.

Historically? What?! Apple had about 15 years of lukewarm products. Even during their initial phase many products were commercial flops.

Their post iPhone era is an outlier.
Ha! The “orange site” dictionary. There’s a parody site in that…
There was never a big chance that Valve would port Alyx, or Meta would allow Beat Saber to be on another platform.

It would take an epically _good_ relationship to convince hardware platforms to port their platform exclusive titles over - just count all the Mario and Zelda games that have shipped for Xbox and Playstation.
Ask your boss for that! Float the idea at a team standup or something a couple of times. Advocate for having engineering roadmap to address tech debt and increase performance. Many times you'll get it if you can articulate the need for it well enough.
Maximum interchange is public, but most of those numbers are lies -- big merchants negotiate their own rates, and big merchants are a big chunk of most CC spend (Amazon does not pay a number that appears on that sheet, for example). Costco (in)famously negotiated that number down to basically zero.

It's true that Visa/MC technically doesn't keep any of the interchange -- but the interchange goes to the issuing bank, and then visa/mc turns around and charges their scheme/network fees, which basically means that the issuing bank only gets to keep about 2/3rds of the interchange (that was set and negotiated by Visa/MC). You can dice it up into the processor fee, the network fee, the whatever fees, but I believe that the general consensus is that the networks keep about a third. I don't quite remember where I read that, so if you have better info please let me know.

The 2013 Macbook pro 13" has been my longest running laptop for work, and swapped it for the M1 two years ago because of the reviews.
One of my kids is still using it for school.

I never had a laptop for that long before. And just had to replace the battery once, by an after market one.
The keys on the keyboard disappearing is the only notable aging symptom.

Maybe an outlier, but based on that, I'm confident the M1 may last long too.
Interesting you say that about his ideas on earth science... because that's what I find most intriguing. I admit I don't completely understand him yet but I plan to further research it. In addition, there seem to be striking similarities with his Wardenclyffe Tower and the Great Pyramids of Giza (i.e. aquaphors) which all the more is curious for me.
If you graduate from an art or design school your portfolio is probably more important than your grades.

I imagine a Ph.D. graduate's thesis and publications are quite a bit more important than grades.
> Apple releases new devices most often by releasing them inside the iPhone.

Another example is Lidar 3d scanning in iPhone.

>Which is why now, with a saturated cellphone market which is slowing down the upgrade frequency, they are so interested in wearables (separate hardware that augments your phone) and services (software that augments your phone).

I suspect that annual upgrades to Watch, the maturation of Fitness and Music services and the mix of HW "devices" released in iPhone have strategic goal of supporting the new headset device.

RE: HomeKit, even if it couldn't deliver the revenue opportunity of other businesses of the company, I think it had potential to be far more than it is now.

The head of home services, Sam Jadallah left before his third year during a critical push into the home with Homepod and Homepod Mini.

It could be his efforts were blocked--perhaps to starve advancement of Smarthome while Amazon was bleeding cash on Alexa. But regardless his team failed to push the category forward and Home languished.

HomeKit and Siri are perhaps the most high profile weak products from Apple that, had they been handled differently, people would have greatly benefited from for several years now.

That said, neither seemed to have that much revenue opportunity and it is clear looking backward that their weakness has not (yet) obviously held the company back in any way.
It was already predicted in this forum that this would happen sooner rather than later. I remember somebody already posted a simpler PoC more than a week ago. Nothing good comes from letting a 3rd party, the attacking site, give arbitrary instruction to your systems on how to behave. Maybe OpenAI wants regulation to stop this kind of thing. What would be a funny development though is if they ended up themselves ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶a̶t̶ not being compliant.

> A single M2 chip is able to play a recent-ish AAA game and decent-ish settings, on ~2k at >30fps, while also running the whole game itself and macOS.

Doing the math to the OPs numbers. 6k vs 2k = 3x. 90 fps vs 30 fps = 3x.

That an extra 900% performance difference right there.

Reality, out the window.
FWIW, the point of "transformative use" is that you are transforming the use, not that you merely applied some kind of transform to the content. In the case of Campbell Soup, the use of the resulting work does feel extremely different from the original product label design for the can of soup.
Forstall’s first big unguided product delivery was Maps. He royally screwed the pooch with the release. By all accounts, he was fairly toxic in the executive group, he had to go.
Both can be true. America also has a "missing middle" urban planning problem - not that that's by chance. Zoning laws, NIMBYs and mandatory parking all favor this outcome.

But also, compare average car sizes to the EU. The average car in the US is a fuel-guzzling battle tank, side by side. The options for anything else are pretty sparse, but they do exist.

Did Google really try?

The only way they could have convinced me it actually might be around 18 months after launch is if Alphabet spun out an entirely new company for it.

Launching it as Google Stadia was basically a self-fulfilling prophecy of cancellation. Few wanted to pay good money for product that was going to dissolve in a year or two.
As a sidenote I hate that sales tax is not shown on the price tags here in the US. I strongly believe that you should be able to walk out of the store paying the price shown on the price tag -- not a cent more. This obviously clashes with the obvious solution of making credit card surcharges a thing and letting consumers deal with it. I genuinely don't know what's the best solution here -- I think the EU did a good job, but I'm skeptical of government intervention generally, so I'm trying to come up with more structural solutions that make it so it's competition that drives the price down, not government price caps.

Edit: Actually I think there's a simple solution: the fee should be assessed on the consumer side, not on the merchant side. Your issuing bank charges you 200bps on your end instead of taking it from the merchant cut. The net effect is the same.

People would hate it, and it would never happen, but it's fun to think about :/
