It feels like something of a missed opportunity for them (Arm), I guess. I wonder what the stock value for Arm would be, if back in the day, they had come up with a business model similar to that which Unreal engine employs today.

E.g. we'll license you the architecture for free but customization and support will cost. What we really want though, is royalties generated by any and all ecosystems created or made possible by our design, at the rate of X percent of annual sales revenue generated by said ecosystem if and when the revenue reaches more than 0.65 bajillion dollars.

My chemistry teacher was good like that.

Sadly my HS physics teacher often gave us unreasonable values on homeworks and exams so you couldn’t sanity check easily. Eg - a kangaroo jumps 245 meters high, or the barrel of a gun is 1.5 kilometres long, etc.
"Peter and I had been in the same 1982 incoming class at
Carnegie Mellon. We knew each other, but were not really close. I
bumped into Peter in the Computer Science lounge a few weeks
before the Fredkin Masters Open, and mentioned what I was
doing. Peter was asking a lot of questions, but I had no idea that
he was thinking about getting IBM to hire us.
Years later, Peter described how he got the upper management
in IBM interested in continuing the project inside IBM. It was
around the time of the Superbowl season. Peter happened to be in
the men's room with Abe Peled, the IBM Research Vice President of
Computer Science. They started talking about how expensive the
Superbowl TV commercial spots were. Peter suggested that he
knew a way to gain much greater publicity at far lower cost. He
knew this group of graduate students working on computer chess
at Carnegie Mellon, and he believed that this team would create
the first chess machine to beat the World Champion. Given the
historical significance of the quest, and the latent public interest,
IBM could stand to gain huge advertising value from the endeav-
or. Oh, yes, members of the team were world-class people that IBM
would be interested in hiring anyway. Abe got interested and asked
Peter to look into it."

"In the end, the name Deep Blue was chosen, submitted by Peter Brown, that same classmate who was partially responsible for our being hired by IBM. For winning the contest, Peter was treated to a nice dinner with us, and a chance to play Deep Thought. He declined the second part of his award."

It reminds me of the old story about the inventor in the late 1890s, who claimed to have invented a car that could cross the United States running on just a gallon of water. After failing to deliver a tangible product for years, investors pushed him to either produce his vehicle or return their money. The inventor refused, saying that he'd now come up with an even better version that could cross the United States on just a single thimble of water, and it would be beneath his professional pride to release an inferior product, so he had no choice but to continue his research.

>I'm not sure the set of people who care about out of the box and the set of people who would be future maintainers is a very large intersection ...

Yeah that's the common refrain. It's just gatekeeping in my experience. A certain demographic tends to view using the terminal or using bad UIs as some sort of badge of elite status, and sneers at people who want to spend their workday looking at visually-pleasing UIs.

>Also, what is a good out of the box experience for emacs?

Well, a GUI that doesn't look like it's stuck in 1997 for starters. Off the top of my head, handling long lines without chugging, being async/multithreaded so a network request doesn't lock up the entire fscking UI, offering CUA-mode by default for easier onboarding, fixing the often absurd terminology in the docs (frames/windows/panes/yank means paste/etc.), and probably a few others I can't think of.

Have a look here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface

That's just an immensely better UI, by default. To achieve even 80% of that in emacs you'd need to spend time configuring at a minimum treemacs, an lsp client, breadcrumb-mode, minimap, probably project.el or projectile, magit, one of the tab-bar modes, and a bunch of niceties like showing line numbers by default, to say nothing about a better theme.

All that stuff should be built in and there's no good reason other than "the emacs developers are overworked already" for them to not be included.

Imagine showing someone the editor above, and then showing them this. Which one do you think they'll choose?

That requires the client to implement FIDO support. This was added to openssh 8.2p1. For example, mutt doesn't have FIDO support and you have to use an external script for oauth2 support. Both require implementing support for interacting with a HTTP API (which is not application level protocol agnostic).

On the other hand, you can configure mutt to use a client side TLS certificate and SMTP servers (e.g., postfix) and IMAP servers (e.g. dovecot) both support client side TLS certificates without having to support sending HTTP requests or parsing HTTP responses.
Writing is fun. Everyone has a story or two inside them and I encourage people to try it and just ignore the many people who will try to tell you how to do it.

Whether you have ten thousand words or a million inside you go for it and either upload it as a free eBook if you think its good enough to one of the many sites or just leave it for your kids or grandkids to find and have something nice to pass on through history.

Never start writing thinking about the money side, there are thousands of books out there which have never sold one book, you may get lucky, but without investing the same amount of time in marketing you will never get anyone to even open it, so do it but do it for fun.

My first novel was fun to write, I released it on Kindle and never told anyone, for the first three months I was so happy just to see it there, just like a proper book, even though I bought the only copy. I am now half a million words into my second novel and still loving it.

I may have not made a penny from sales but I have a much broader vocabulary and have saved at least two hundred dollars by not having as much time to read anymore.

If local familiy restaurants worked like apps and had no virtually no marginal costs to feed another user or serve a new entree, then it would stop being an anti-growth example. Cheesecake Factory+ would scale up and then the market would clone and chase them.
FYI, it is incredibly common to subject acquihired employees to the same interviews, and extend offers only to those that pass. This is especially true at FAANG.
A big thing to consider is the fact that everyone got online all the time during the enshittification phase of OKC - it wasn't just OKC's userbase, but it was the median of the whole internet that got dumber and less sophisticated/more basic.

When OKC was great, the random median many-hours-on-the-internet-every-day user was a lot better than it is today. Now that's just a median member of the general public, thanks to the ubiquity of social media.

I fondly remember the one that showed men's rating of women approaching almost a perfect normal distribution, and then the men messaging mostly the hot ones anyway, whereas the women rated most men as ugly and then sloping downward toward very few as good looking, kind of like an exponential distribution, but that they also messaged the men almost exactly in tandem - uglier getting the most, with a steady drop as men's ranking rose.
This is super impressive on paper, but it feels like there aren't really many applications that can take advantage of this power on a phone due to thermal and (battery) power constraints.

Right! And I bet in the near future AI will do meta analyses studies using ones like this as it's basis.

Content quality seems to be inversely proportional to subreddit size.

If you find a much finer-grained niche subreddit you will probably find the quality is still 2010 Reddit.
I don't know if much innovation is really required, honestly. You probably won't find what you're looking for with Mac/Windows, but if you run a tiling window manager like i3 on Linux you'll pretty much just see a clock, some system stats, and whatever applications you have open on the screen. You can pretty easily configure the bottom bar to remove the superfluous system stats, or even the clock if you want.

Is that the kind of experience you'd look for in a distraction-free OS? If not I'd be interested to hear your ideas - I use i3 for work but manage to distract myself anyway because I always have a web browser open.
Probably because it is quite an overstatement. There are situations where it is clearly useful be in an HOA.

For example last time I was looking for a house I looked at one where the water supply for that house and three others came from a private well. It was the best house I'd seen so far, but I couldn't find any binding agreement on how well maintenance would be paid for so I passed.

An HOA for those four houses specifically to cover operation and maintenance of the well would have been a very good thing to have.

> I would really like to know more about why Hydrogen vehicles did not take off as much as electric.

Lots of reasons. So, here's some off the top of my head.

* Infrastructure - There's no hydrogen distribution system in place. Further, hydrogen is trickier to distribute/store. It's not like gas where you can just have a big empty metal drum that you fill and discharge. Consider, for example, that as gases expand they cool down and as they compress they heat up (Boyle's law). Now consider the danger of refilling, go too fast (with any sort of oxygen present) and you run the real risk of explosion. Without oxygen, you still have to deal with the heat generated. On the flip side, pulling hydrogen out of a tanker will cause the tanker and the stored hydrogen to freeze, forcing you to wait for a defrost if you go too fast.

* Hydrogen is not green. I know everyone THINKS that hydrogen production would primarily come from electrolysis, but that's not how commercial hydrogen is produced [1]. Instead, hydrogen primarily comes from fossil fuels (methane, natural gas).

* Related to the first point, charging a hydrogen vehicle would require all the same headaches the current EV connectors have gone through. You can't just specify a diameter and go from there. You must create a seal to prevent hydrogen from leaking from the pump. It's doable, but also dangerous if you get it wrong. Hydrogen is far more flammable than gas which is really super risky if someone is smoking while recharging.

* Electricity is already distributed. The fact that you are writing here on hacker news means you have a source of electricity that could potentially power your car. The EV charge station distribution is largely just a factor of setting up stations. Further, for relatively little money existing gas stations can easily be converted to support EVs. That's not so with Hydrogen. Another reason for the popularity of EVs is home charging is really fantastic. If you own a home and install a charger you'll almost never need any public fueling infrastructure. (also, with an EV charger refueling at home from 0 to 100 takes about 7 hours. Refueling for daily road trips generally takes more along the lines of 1 hour. Most cars are idle for more than an hour).

You have a point, but I don't think a thirteen year old slashdot post is the best way to illustrate it. Fingerprint authentication has to be implemented correctly, or else it does face the problem you mentioned, and other ones as well. Which Apple did. You can't steal the fingerprint out of an Apple Secure Enclave and compromise it like you're thinking. So it would need to be done right, which Google is capable of mandating for Chromebooks.

As far as Gummy bears are involved, my read of the Cisco Talos Threat Intelligence group report*, vs the competency and resources available to 13-year olds (who are not to be underestimated, tbc), is that the gummy bear trick no longer works.

In this case, it seems that they are wanting to leverage Unity's dominance in mobile gaming as a way to out-compete rivals in the mobile advertising space. Questions for lawyers: Is Unity's share (more than 70% of the top mobile games in the market) large enough to be a monopoly? Is this move to displace rivals in advertising behaving anti-competitively?

Arm didn't make the iPhone or the Apple M.

The Apple M successful because Apple paid a lot of money to higher great chip designers and has a great relationship with the best Fab. They could likely have achieved very similar results with MIPS. Apple pays ARM a license fee but otherwise don't have much to with chips like the Apple M.

But a lot of where they make money is very attachable from the low end by RISC-V. And from there RISC-V will just move up and up. I see their future as trending down not up.
Assuming there is a buyer waiting to take ARM private seems pretty unlikely.

If you happen to hold the majority of shares and then try to sell them suddenly you’ll sell them at a discount. Just look at TSLA when Elon had to liquidate significantly to pay for TWTR.
> Never ever, across half a dozen firms and 20 years, have I had training that was like "so hey don't use these terms that are used by insider traders because that would give the wrong impression when you are um.. doing your job and stuff..".

Well, I have.

At a large well known tech company I used to work for, we were told not to use terms like "killing our competitors", "smoking them", etc. or any words that implied we had any dominance or monopoly in our industry. We even had a "War Room" undergo a name change. The reason is exactly the same as Google's, where they were worried about reporters using it to twist narratives or in discovery by lawyers who came across emails.
Using encryption is not uncommon. This particular use of language may be uncommon (I don't know if it is, that's something for the prosecution to demonstrate). So if it is, the equivalent metaphor would be some extraordinary lengths taken to conceal data, like perhaps "The police found empty bags that once contained powdered iron oxide and aluminium in the defendant's house, their desktop computer was found to have recently been moved and contained more SATA connectors than necessary for the components it contained, and there was a suspicious number of melted computer parts and HDD caddy screws in their garbage."

The main effect of those data posts seems to have been to cause people to spread a lot of misinfo like "women aren't attracted to 80% of men".

An architecture that's developed in public that anyone can implement is a funny way to achieve that. Particularly given that western firms do largely follow the IP rules, if China wanted an ecosystem they controlled, surely they'd develop their own proprietary one (or worst case, buy out one of the western also-rans).
I recommend that everyone read Stanley Milgram's book Obedience to Authority about his fake shock experiments.

Some people simply suspend moral judgement entirely in circumstances where someone else is calling the shots. They no more regard themselves as culpable for the bad outcomes as they do an automobile operated by a drunk driver. At a certain point, many people just switch off the moralizing, automatically assigning all of the responsibility to the order-giver.

It's an interesting phenomenon. A side effect, I find, is that people get very very upset when you name and shame individual employees doing unethical things at work that are legal and fall under the umbrella of "corporate initiatives" such as implementing antipatterns. The guilt for such seems to be perceived to fall with management or "product people", not developers, even though the developers are the ones who wrote the code.

Same for, say, warfighters. People don't regard the conscripted infantrymen at fault for the deaths, even though it is often literally their hand on the trigger.
