It usually doesn't matter, but there can be slight differences in frequency band support between iphones distributed in different regions.

These days there are four different combinations of frequency models out there for each version.

https://www.apple.com/ca/iphone/cellular/

e.g. On the iPhone 14/15 (pro/plus), only US models have:
n258 (26 GHz)
n260 (39 GHz)
n261 (28 GHz)
while rest of world models do not have those.

Then just 6 non-US countries have 1500MHz in LTE, but all 15s support it over 5G and satellite. On 14s, 1500MHz has less support.

It's getting like the bad ole days: "oh you need a quad-band phone if you're going from US to Europe or vice versa".

Probably none of this matters unless you're in a fringe area.

> any counterpoints that would bring housing prices far lower?

As you note, it's hard for people to move right now because interest rates on a new mortgage are so much higher than what they're currently paying and prices are still cresting rather than falling. So owners are holding out.

But personal circumstances will eventually catch up with them and more houses will start to bleed off the plateau, into a market of buyers facing higher interest rates and therefore lower budgets for nominal price. These circumstance-pressured sales will accumulate, prices will slowly sink off the crest (as they already are) and then sentiment will turn. Media stories will dramatize sinking home values, and the narrative will invite a wave of panic selling and abandoned mortgages as people start to worry that they'll miss the chance to sell or end up caught in an upside-down mortgage.

We can't really know the scale or exact timing of these supply-side phases, and we don't know how it will overlap with changes in demand, but we can reasonably expect this cycle to play out to some degree or another. It could very well "burst" the bubble and suddenly bring prices much lower (answering your own question), or it may not prove to be so extreme because opposing factors that temper the panic/abandonment phase. We're just not there yet and have to wait and see.

Maybe not the case in Japan, but I think a more important metric is household formation and sqft demand per person. NYC population declined during and after the pandemic, but household formation rose, leading to increased demand.

I've been trying to build a tool that solves that niche problemset of facilitating the edit flow of a dev blog.

I liked Forestry, but wanted something that was embedded directly into my website, so I built Penmark CMS https://penmark.appsinprogress.com/. Inspired by utteranc.es, it uses the GitHub API to make edits directly to your repo. It's definitely a simple CMS but I'm liking it to write for my own blog!
For a product Steve Jobs dismissed as a feature rather than a product, Dropbox is still as far ahead of iCloud today as it was when he allegedly said that. Ridiculous that a company of Apple’s resources has mangled this so much.

Another related note: I just learned the hard way that Microsoft Office no longer auto-saves (nor is it capable of auto-saving) files unless they are in the OneDrive directory. What the fuck? This was a feature for as far back as I’ve used Word and they’ve just cut down its functionality to push people to use a single syncing folder, presumably to drive OneDrive adoption.

God I hate tech in 2023.

The problem is that the whining on display in the post is completely rudderless. It has no idea what it's actually complaining about, just a general feeling of "wow things are complicated aren't they?". Then it asserts a priori that it could be simpler. Out of all the different examples that it complained about, not once did they propose a solution in any of those scenarios.

If your argument is that things are more complex then they need to be, prove it. Because it's like an old man looking at a Honda and going "things were so much simpler back in my day!!"
Agree. I dont see the government letting another 2008 happen either. They will do whatever it takes to keep housing prices from declining significantly on a large scale

Large cities in Japan generally grow while the countryside shrinks. Kids don't want to live in boring towns with no work.

The housing itself is also cheaper. For example, indoor hallways in apartments are considered luxury.
Conversely, I'm 52 years old and I've never experienced living in a housing bubble until this most recent ten-year stretch (the runup in property values prior to the 2008 GFC mostly missed my area (DFW), though we were still adversely affected by the aftermath).
Why Wasabi and not Backblaze?
> artificially weak due to high mortgage rates preventing anyone from selling

I wonder how much that matters. I agree less people are moving, but typically homeowners who sell will also be buyers, so no net change in availability. I guess some people can afford a second home and they keep the old one and rent it out so they can keep the old mortgage, but that must be small compared to people staying put.
I dunno, as a kid if there was a $40 or a $80 thing, I would get the $40 one (both would involve negotiating with parents anyways, and there's an obvious big gap here).

$40 is a lot of money for teens without income (which is the case for most teenagers across the world outside of the US). Most kids get money maybe once or twice a year and have to spread it out, and then negotiate for other hobby-based purchases when they can. There's a reason forums are filled with people discussing how to maintain sub-$100 Thinkpads!
There could be some weird world in which it's popular for house prices to go down.

If that becomes the case, then populist politicians will eventually get elected and let them fall.

How big is the VP8 codec? Did you try building libvpx with --disable-vp9?
I am strongly in favor of MOSAIC's aims and almost all of their choices. I do think that SLSA not having a better safety record than TC/Personal is a problem for the current SLSA grouping. Weather and fuel accidents factor prominently as contributing or primary factors in fatal accidents and an airplane that can only go 120 knots and can only weigh 1320 pounds is far less prone to tangle with unexpected en route weather. (It's not impossible, but contrast that with a 200 knot airplane carrying 700 pounds of fuel in terms of ability to cross multiple weather systems.)

I think it's great. I hope the losses remain low enough for the program to continue to be expanded. I'm not nearly as hopeful as you are that it's going to be transformational for the industry in the sense of returning to the 1960s heyday.

My initial read of just the headline was similar. It reminded me of those devs whose YouTube videos or repo READMEs ask (beg?) for you to star their repo.

But this is clearly about investors who invest in open source projects and use Github stars as a proxy for community engagement and velocity (whether right or wrong).
Depends on your definition of "bubble".

Here's financial asset X. There are changes in the fundamentals. X becomes a more attractive asset. People notice, and buy, and so the price goes up. That's not a bubble.

People see the price of X going up, and decide that it's a good investment because the price is going up, so more people buy, so the price goes up more. That's starting to become a bubble.

2008 was definitely a bubble. People were buying because the price was going up, not because of fundamentals. A lot of people got burned when the bubble popped.

This? I'm not so sure. If there's an imbalance between supply and demand, is that because of fundamentals (not enough houses)? Or because people are buying because the price is going up?
This seems like a great way to pull out session identity from cookies and sidestep a lot of the baggage there.

I would caution framing it as a secure replacement for cookies, it’s a secure replacement for session ID token cookies. Tons of cookies aren’t just opaque IDs.
I mean deep integration. I've tried a bunch of alternative photo backup software that'll save to a NAS, none of them are "family proof". One of the biggest selling points of iCloud is that it integrates so deeply with the iPhone photos app that you're not even aware of which photos are on your device and which aren't.

That level of integration simply isn't possible with third party solutions.
If you include housing in your inflation calculations, it's pretty well definitionally equal.

Idk if the current prices are properly justified. They make sense given that most people don't want to sell with their current 30 year interest rates set so the supply is low, and anyone who does, needs to account for their new interest rates.

I own an M1 and like it. But loading it up feels like loading up any other NUC style machine. I'm not sure on what axis it's better. Folks talk up the memory bandwidth, but in Apple's design, neither CPU, GPU, or NPU have access to full memory bandwidth. Not even close. Apple's caches are fast at 3 cycles, but AMD's are 10x larger. Apple's GPU claims further complicated given that they want everyone to use Metal as opposed to OpenGL, Vulkan, or DirectX on their platform. And compatibility and speed suffer as a result. Heat and noise are indeed important, from my perspective it simply seems that Apple's chosen a particular spot on the curve with an attractive outcropping thanks to early integration of on-package DRAM, but otherwise nothing special. Other manufacturers will ship on-package DRAM. AMD and NVIDIA have been shipping on-package HBM to the datacenter for an age.

If anything, it seems that Apple's much larger product - the iphone - had a lot more to do with M1/M2 design than high end desktop equipment. On package DRAM is common in cell phones to reduce board size. And M1 is a scaled up A series SoC. I think it's a great product for Apple. But as someone who's supported Mac, Linux, and Windows machines at a university for a decade, it doesn't feel appreciably different from Intel NUCs over that timespan. AMD's 7840U is setting a new standard for power and performance on the PC side right now. And the two will continue to leapfrog.

AusCERT 2023 had a few talks that hint towards a focus on "threat intelligence sharing"[1][2] amongst what would seemingly be a combination of government departments and "critical infrastructure" private sector companies (utilities, supply chain, healthcare, ...etc).

Perhaps something along the lines of a modern take on DShield[3] (2000-), RBLs[4] as well as centralised log analysis, etc? The ability to have a central repository of rules such as "File X was created at location Y on host Z and this is highly unusual as files have never before been written to location Y, plus administrators are currently asleep and have not logged into host Z in the past day".

Just a dumb headline.

First, household formation has accelerated dramatically over the last 5 years (see article below). This trend will likely continue, and/or accelerate for many more years. Many of the major homebuilders have seen this coming (e.g. DR Horton).

Second, the lost value of office buildings did not merely dissipate - it just follows where people are spending time. Data from Kastle Systems suggests foot traffic back to office is roughly half of what it was pre-covid (40% to 50%). Those hours people are not in an office, they are in homes. If you have a bunch of adults spending ~20 additional hours per week in the home, they will value their homes more.

When I was doing appraisal in the aftermath of 08, the buyers driving the speculation looked nothing like the buyers waiting in line today.

R&D is already baked into the final price of everything we buy so that has no argument.

And the bullet proof glass thing I shouldn't even respond to because of the ridiculous extreme you've had to go to, trying to argue against me saying the companies should play it safe, but I'll reply this one time. I'm not asking the car company to protect me from an assassin's bullets. That is not something they control. I'm asking them to "play it safe" when developing components for the car so the car doesn't kill me while I'm in the car. They are responsible for their domain and are not producing armored vehicles for war time. So ridiculous lol

In cargo movements a simple foam pig pushed by compressed air or nitrogen is often used to clear the line after the pumping is finished and the pump has been turned off. In those cases where the line leading from the tank to the vessel was empty at the start of the movement, for best accounting you want the line to be empty afterward, and allow product settling time before the gager climbs the tank and takes their readings.

This can also facilitate sequential movement of different cargoes using a single line, after the pig has been caught and removed from the transfer path, the dry nitrogen then is used to purge the line until it is bone dry. To reduce cross-contamination, like if you were loading a parcel of acetone for one client followed by a parcel of ethanol from a different tank on the same clean-product manifold after that.

In the really long fuel pipelines, inspection or cleaning pigs can be used in the different legs but any one pig usually can not make it the entire length that the product will be traveling from entrance to exit. Foam pigs neither to better separate different grades of fuel so without a pig in between grades they end up with "transmix"[0] as the interface between gasolines and distillates becomes more blurred during the sequential transfers. As the transmix starts to appear at the receiving end it is diverted from the specification tank into its own smaller tank, rail cars, or trailers. Then subject to further processing back into two separate commodities again.

> I wonder if it is possible to implement a watermark via patterns of Oxford comma occurrences

This would be a glaring stylistic inconsistency in every text produced with a watermark. You could just as well implement a watermark by doing automated thesaurus replacements on certain of the words and using the index of the selected entry as a code.

A watermark that deeply unnerves everyone who reads the text can carry information, but it tends to render the tool itself unfit for purpose.
WINE and Proton work very well for a lot of things.

> If all TripleByte does is find candidates who pass your process, you can't simplify your hiring process without affecting the quality of the candidates you hire through references from TripleByte.

If TripleByte is capable of finding candidates who would pass a specific, described process, you theoretically can omit the whole process because by definition, you know that the candidate is able to pass it. In practise, for good reasons, you don't want to do this, but it already save quite some money to shorten the process or just do plausibility checks.

If these plausibility checks make you realize that TripleByte was overselling (or to put it much more directly: are fraudsters), this should hopefully cause sufficient reputation damage for TripleByte that they go bust; thus TripleByte hopefully has a strong incentive not to oversell.
