I was considering less how their revenue is now and more how it will be when the EU regulations hit and they lose the guaranteed 30/15% cut on all iOS apps

I know the US govt is hitting them with a similar anti-trust lawsuit, so it might happen over there too

If Apple lose their walled garden, and the 30/15% cut with it, both in EU and US, I think that could be a massive problem for them

Whether or not that will actually happen, or if Apple will find a way to compensate for the lost revenue, I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if it was causing big discussions inside the company though, and I wouldn't be surprised if people become more bearish on Apple until they show they've found a solution
> Alpha will be fine--they'll benefit from boomers unwinding their real estate to pay for senior care.

Huh? I assume a few private equity executives who own vast, national senior care businesses will benefit the most from the passing of the Boomers, followed by Millennial children of Boomers who die with assets (and despite Boomers being the wealthiest generation ever, there's plenty of inequality there as well) and without being drained by the medical industrial complex first.

If watching my grandparents go taught me anything, it's that all deaths suck, but the quick heart attack really rips the bandaid off so to speak.

House prices went down in the 80s (although were still quite unaffordable). Additionally, those who bought in the 80s got the ride the gravy train of lowering rates over the decades which massively boosted prices and allowed them to refinance.
I think you’re overestimating what most car rentals are used for. Often it someone that just got into an accident and needs a car while the body shop fixes the issue or they shop for a new car. As such it is driving to work or doing errands is common and an EV owner may simply prefer an EV.

Even for vacations you don’t really need level 2 chargers at most locations. A normal outlet can take a model 3 from near zero to full over a long weekend let alone a fast charger. Many camping stops even have RV hookups which are much faster.
That's definitely one way to leverage the GPU VRAM hardware inflation intended for LLM model training.
Sorry, yes. Meant to say we're at our most unaffordable since just before the financial crisis.

One thing that this article glosses over is that mortgage rates and the rate of home valuation increase have a loosely inverse relationship, as most people judge what they can afford based on their monthly payment. So, when borrowing is cheap, home valuation increase typically accelerates, and when borrowing is expensive, home valuation increase typically contracts.

Obviously this effect is outweighed by supply/demand, and mortgage rates have a major impact on the size of the pool of buyers (and hence demand) as well.
In the US, you (and transitively your insurance) are liable as a driver if you cause damage. You can separately have a contract assigning that liability (e.g., the $20/day or so a rental company will often offer to waive basically all physical damage to the car at a $0 deductible). I assume it's that latter sort of thing you're referring to?

I'm not sure how they handle cars damaged under those sorts of policies. I do know those policies are also wildly profitable (I've never come close to approaching eqv. $7300/yr for insurance, despite a horrible driving record when I was younger). Rental cars don't even crash 1.5x as often per mile, so a 5-20x multiple on your premium is noteworthy.
It's not economy of scale - they get to write off depreciation at a much higher rate than the cars actually depreciate.

This is true of all businesses and all capital. It's a great big tax cheat, centered around companies getting to claim that their capital is worthless after just a few years.

"This paper concentrates on the 1% richest households in the UK in a comparison with the other four large Western European countries: Germany, France, Italy and Spain. In the European context the UK is an outlier of extreme inequality. "

"The UK sits half way between the USA and mainland Europe in economic space. The UK levels of inequality are now huge by normal European standards, but not so huge when compared to the average levels of economic inequality experienced within the USA."

Employed or unemployed, it's seems so offensive to me to not care about people's time. When I'm employed, I'm probably using a vacation day to talk to you. That's special time I would otherwise spend with my family and on not burning myself out.

When I was not employed, I paid for the gas to drive 90 minutes each way and spent an entire day not looking at other opportunities to be hired or other ways to improve my resume, only to be told by the director that although I did very well in the interviews, they would be getting back to me in 3 months when they found out if their hiring freeze was over then, because at the present time the opening was not yet truly open.

But that doesn't account for mortgage rates, or competition in down payments right?

If you make 5% more inflation adjusted than the person 5 years ago, but mortgage rates are 2x, than you're still way behind right?

And if all those who bought starter houses 5 years ago have a ton of equity to drop in the down payment to trade up, you might not even be able to buy a house where you can afford the monthly mortgage payment.
Poor people can always get credit cards. They get constant offers for them. The catch is that they are terrible cards with fees and insane rates.

That the narrative of Israel stealing land is false.

Israel encouraged arabs within their partition that were not resisting the new nation to stay. You can find many references to this, and it was Hertzl’s origin intention is his writing. This is why the 2M Israeli arabs - that have more freedom that in any arab nation - exist. Pity the arabs that left.

> is understandable that they would bear malice on those who caused them or their parents or grandparents to lose their homes

They don’t though. They have no malice towards their leaders that constantly started wars trying to destroy Israel and resulted in their losing their homes. They just hate Jews.

> But the existence of terrorists among a population does not give one carte blanche to attack that population.

Yes agreed. This is why the war is on Hamas rather than Gazans (even though Gazans overwhelmingly support the slaughter of their Israeli neighbours) at the cause of a great many Israeli lives.

Lol, yeah, my math was a bit off.

"According to Bloomberg, Valve is valued at $6.9 billion in March 2024."

"Nvidia market cap = $2.23 trillion"

100% - 78% = 22%

$2.23 trillion * 22% = $490.6 billion

And, $490.6 billion > $6.9 billion.

So yeah, kudos to my math.

I used Kagi to summarize the transcript:

- A serious SSH backdoor was discovered in the xz Linux compression library, allowing attackers to compromise SSH servers.

- The backdoor was discovered by Andres Freund, a Postgres developer, who noticed suspicious CPU usage and login attempts on his systems.

- The xz backdoor allowed attackers to bypass authentication and gain root access on compromised systems.

- Microsoft faced significant criticism from the CSRB (Cybersecurity Review Board) for a cascade of errors related to a China-based hack.

- Ukraine was able to leverage an old WinRAR vulnerability to hack into Russian systems as part of the ongoing conflict.

- There have been recent "MFA bombing" attacks targeting Apple users, combining push notifications and social engineering.

- A ransomware gang leaked stolen Scottish healthcare patient data as part of an extortion attempt.

- Renowned security expert and author Ross Anderson passed away.

- The episode features a discussion with Andres Freund about his discovery of the xz backdoor.

- The podcast sponsor, Island, discusses how enterprises are moving away from VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) towards security-focused enterprise browsers.

It’s interesting that it spends a lot of time talking about how memory safe languages don’t help V8 cause of JIT (true) & then talks about a hardening technique that does get helped by Rust.

Similarly the discussion about memory tagging - I know that it would harden the security of things like Cloudflare workers. And if most of the exploits are because it’s in-process, why not work on isolating it behind it’s own process (there must be ways to do this securely while not giving up too much performance)?

I think you demonstrate a common human scenario where we over-estimate the risk in notable activities and far under-estimate the boring ones. Motorcycle fatalities are about 25x higher than car, but car deaths are pretty low. Meanwhile smokers kill themselves and others at very high rates, and general inactivity leads to indirect deaths a magnitude higher. I'd also argue premature death from sky diving > slow, declining death from poor lifestyle, but I recognize that's not a universal opinion.

I only use cards without FX or other fees. The amount is charged to the US card in Euros and Visa or Mastercard take a 50 basis point commission on the currency conversion, but since their settlement is not real time (end of day in US or something) often this can be a exchange rate win depending on your luck.
> No, "contextually inappropriate" has a specific meaning and that's not what it is

Yes it is. Context includes the user.
> The money extracted by the credit card companies and Visa causes merchants to raise prices for everyone regardless of whether they have a rewards card or use a credit card at all.

This creates in effect a massive money transfer from the poor, who do not use rewards cards, to the rich consumers who do.

Not quite. Credit card companies obligate merchants to charge the same prices regardless of whether you pay with a card, but merchants frequently don't honor that obligation. And there are also merchants who only take cash.

The poorest customers are likely to patronize these merchants. They're also likely to be given discounts that aren't card-related; the whole idea of price discrimination is that, because impoverished customers have low willingness to pay, you charge them less.

In a voluntary system, money transfers are always going to end up being much smaller than they looked like they would be when you thought about their effects, because people adjust their behavior to avoid them.

It sometimes confuses me how people seem to not think that word of mouth is a thing. It absolutely is. In the games industry, there are endless examples. Because on places like Steam, you generally only get promoted if you're already doing well - yet there are countless games that flop at launch meaning 0 visibility, yet they also see great long-tail success.

One of my favorite is Kenshi. [1] Within a few months after launch, the dev was left with literally tens of users. Yet he continued working on it endlessly (while working as a part time security guard) and today it has near to more players than ever. And that's because of word of mouth. Which I suppose is something I'm also here partaking in. It's a great game!
