But also, from a business point of view, maximum profit might mean offering a $100 a month service for residential users, a $1000 a month service for billionaires' yachts, a $5000 a month service for private jets, and a $100,000 a month service for defence industry applications.

Charging more for use away from home, based on GPS data, could be very profitable. Especially as you need GPS tracking to beam the signals to the right place anyway.

Edit: I see the gap now with your question. The buyback plan/funds are not executed all at once. A company approves amounts to be used for buybacks and then it happens over time. My point is that these buybacks are pretty normal for apple. You can look at Apples historical buyback plans and I think the last announced one was a year ago for $90b.
I've noticed that, too. This video is interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj9ZgQgQvBk and might explain some of it, but I also think that the kinematics of your legs works better at higher speeds (or at walking speeds) - jogging seems the worst for joints!

Sure, but that's all hypothetical. There is no law stating "higher EPS = higher share price". Stocks can (and do) still go down after a buyback. Whereas dividends are laid out exactly ahead of time and can be predicted.
1. Prices started going up when prospective homebuyers were already a particularly small generation who also had fewer children - they adjusted family size to their living space demand as it's not like they could suddenly afford more spacious housing.

2. The trend for the past 20+ years has been to move out of cities, with the urbanization rate actually decreasing over that period, as urban real estate was never really affordable. Yet, prices, especially in cities, went up.

Well, they are close enough to each other, aren't they ? /s

That is the main problem with the AI: it is close enough, but never there.
They absolutely did think that. You’re overlooking that, at the time, the militia was “BYOF” (bring your own firearm). Federalist 46 has an extensive discussion on how European governments don’t trust their citizens with arms, and how a regular army wouldn’t be able to stand up to armed citizens: https://guides.loc.gov/federalist-papers/text-41-50.

Once you remember that “militia” meant “calling up armed citizens into an organized fighting force” the text makes perfect sense. It says we need people to have personal weapons—especially weapons of war—so they can be called up into a militia.

This is so obvious that the contrary view can only be the legacy of mid-20th century thinking when the bar was on the floor for old white guys. The framers were a bunch of people who had recently overthrown their government with the arms they had in their sheds. Of course that’s what they were getting at with the second amendment.

A far better argument is that the second amendment isn’t incorporated against the states, because incorporation is kind of fake news. I also think that Heller suffers a bit from not going far enough in acknowledging that the second amendment is about overthrowing the government. It’s not really about self defense or handguns.

How is it “financial engineering” to give money back to the owners of the company?

Should they spend it on an acquisition when most large acquisitions fail to add positive value?

Even if they could find an attractive large acquisition target, some regulator somewhere in the world is going to block it.
> I guess it’s a bullish signal: it says the company thinks its stock price is lower than it should be. I dunno.

That's precisely what this is. It's financially prudent for a company with this much cash to buy back their stock when it's (relatively) cheap. It also doubles as signaling to the market. It's cheaper and better than issuing dividends.

In addition to accounting/reporting, the CFO's job is to decide if/where to spend capital and if/how/when to return it to shareholders.

Buying back stock when the price drops is not really financial engineering—it's just finance, period.
When I was younger, way before I got into tech, I started a job working at Whirlpool working on their assembly line to manufacturer dish washers. I really had no idea what I was in for, it was my first time in that kind of position. I left at lunch and never came back. I don't suffer from anxiety, but I was about to have a panic attack trying to keep up with the assembly line. Having exactly X amount of time to fasten clips, insert screws, attach hoses - all while the item you're working on is still moving? Maddening. Kudos to those who can do it.
Was the claim I was responding to justified anyhow, though?

It's literally one query to https://scholar.google.com or any other search engine of choice, should I link to search results? Okay, so append ?q=[substance name] at the end of the URL. I don't mean to come off as rude, though. But it's really simple to do so, and it won't really serve any purpose to link to particular studies, either, as this could in turn add a potentially huge selection bias.

By the way, for more "obscure" in terms of scientific interest compounds see: beberine, theanine (aka l-theanine), vinpocetine. Particularly the last one. Same. These ones don't even have any synthetic counterparts which will share same or similar mechanism of action (there are other synthetic compounds targeting the same receptors, but they still represent very unique combinations of targets and also often have unique pharmacodynamics in relation to these targets).
Yeah, that I know... though back exercises (keeping disk hydrated) could help with it a lot. But one knows about it post-factum sadly :-)

Because the audience for passkeys is non-technical we are ending up with paternalistic user-hostile implementations that make all the problems the user's.

I don't want to be locked into a platform. I don't want to have to shoulder the burden of making sure I enroll new hardware tokens every few years because I can't just backup / restore the key material in a sensible manner. I don't want one more thing to worry about or pay somebody else for.

I have been using a password manager since 2002. I intend to keep using some kind of password management (password vault, tokens, passkeys, etc) for the rest of my life. I'm worried that the ergonomics of passkeys are very bad and not well thought-out for the long term.

I'm worried the market is skewing in that direction and I will be forced into passkeys and away from passwords to retain access to basic services. I don't really want to be a vassal of a feudal platform lord for my personal password management needs.

Having said all that, you said:

> If you lose or damage your key, admittedly things get harder.

That's worrisome to me. I think the implementers are thinking about it from an "if things go wrong" perspective. I come at things from a "let's have contingencies for when things go wrong".

For what passkeys do I think end users are ill served by the default mode being either user-hostile or feudal.

> Even enterprise HSMs can do this to some extent with key-wrapping.

This. I feel like passkeys are taking the lifecycle model kinds of questions that HSM buyers have to make and thrusting them upon non-technical end users.

Businesses might purchase an HSM with key-wrapped export or backup functionality because they need fault tolerance, disaster recover, and support for key lifetimes that exceed individual hardware component lifetimes. End users don't seem to be getting this choice with passkeys.

It feels like the people implementing passkeys haven't thought about handling those kinds of considerations in a way that provides convenience and security to end users. The answers I see all amount to "Enroll multiple keys for each site. Handle it yourself manually. End users are too stupid to be trusted to handle this well. Tough luck for you if you don't like this beautiful garden we've built for you."
This is the thing about nuclear: the promise of "cheap" power has been made since the 1960s, but very rarely delivered on, and it is not coming down yet, while everyone can see the massive cost collapse for renewables that has already happened and more reasonably project it into the future.

Modular units are firmly in the "I'll believe it when I see it, meanwhile keep the renewables building as fast as possible" category.

(also, everyone has forgotten about proliferation. The fighting around Zhaprozhia did remind a few people about the security risks, though)

I did really like programming, and sunk my teeth int C, C++ and Linux, and did get jobs using those.

I considered C / Linux (syscalls, shell scripting, etc) to be the "fundamentals" / foundational layer, that every higher-level language/fad was built on top of.

I now realize I was basically wrong, all that stuff is now abstracted away as "cloud" or hidden under kubernetes / docker or whatever, and while my experience doesn't hurt... there are lots of people who are clueless with command line, Linux, C, malloc, etc., that get their job done just fine. There are amazingly few jobs for C, C++, Linux these days, when you consider the amount of existing software written for those.

I enjoyed the culture around those things, but as career, it's not the future.
Volley guns, organ guns and early implementations like the Puckle gun long predate the founding of the US. The ribauldequin was what...14th century? Also they were certainly aware of early "artillery" weapons firing hundreds of arrows at once invented centuries earlier in China & Korea. In fact, European armies started embracing the use of rockets as early as the 1780s.

These were educated men. They had an idea about how technology could improve and, more specifically, that technological development would first be applied to war.
It would be cool, especially with advances in plastics you could layer over the steel to protect it from corrosion like what they do with soda cans.

For reference, a steel or aluminum SCUBA tank is usually filled to 3000psi and when I fill steel tanks I can hear and sometimes see the metal start to slightly balloon. This is normal because steel is not brittle but it is very strong.

There is a lot of rules put in place for safety though. A tank has to be visually checked by a professional every year and hydro statically tested every 5. The danger is any rust/corrosion weakening the metal and causing it to rupture. More often seen in aluminum tanks, which is one reason I prefer steel.
The one thing it does not do with their cash on hand is "send it the common pool to fund current business operations."

Whats hypothetical about it? Nothing I said was hypothetical. The company is doing some math to determine that the roic is below their coc or some similar measurement. So they could pay a dividend or buyback shares. Now it is true that the motivations for either could have many reasons. It is also true that after the buyback happens, prices could go back down...it is a market with changing information constantly. So yes a dividend is not a buyback but they are both ways to return capital to shareholders.
From the company's perspective, dividends and stock buy backs are identical.

Say a company has 10 shares @ $10/share, w/ a total value of $100. The company has $10 to return to shareholders because it can't make better use of the money internally.

----Share buyback example------

- company buys back 1 share @ $10

- the company's value is decreases by $10 for having distributed the cash

- company now has 9 shares of stock at $10/share, for a total value of $90

-----Dividend example-----

- company distributes $1 to each shareholder

- the company's value is decreases by $10 for having distributed the cash

- company now has 10 shares of stock at $9/share, for a total value of $90

The consensus might be bang on. Or it might be wildly wrong. Or something else. Who can say?

Neither can a person who has never left the US who realistically would not visit France verify whether they are speaking French as is spoken in Marseilles. Yet the effort to approximate it is not futile, and having practiced with a native French speaker from Marseilles to the point of fluency is usually proof enough for many to say that they know French as is spoken in Marseilles, even though it seems to me that you would not regard this as knowledge.

If a rule can be written into a linter, simply have it automatically formatted and never argue about it again. It eliminates entire classes of argument.

I've found that WhisperX with the medium model has been amazing at subtitling shows containing English dialects (British, Scottish, Australian, New Zealand-ish). It not only nails all the normal speech, but even gets the names and completely made up slang words. Interestingly you can tell it was trained from source material with dialects because it subtitles their particular spelling; so someone American will say color, and someone British will say colour.

I can't speak to how it performs outside of production quality audio, but in the hundreds of hours of subtitles that I've generated I don't think I've seen a single error.

I have hardly touched a Mac (mostly trying it out in Apple shops) and used Windows almost daily in the workplace.

I have been full-time GNU/Linux at home, though... since around 2005. Other than the learning curve + trial-and-errors, I hardly have any issues with networking or even nvidia cards.

There was one time when the wifi did not work. From memory, I think the kernel version I was using did not support it. Other than that, I cannot say I share the same issues.

In the early days I tried many distros. Started with Ubuntu. I even tried Slackware. Today, I mostly stick with Debian but like to keep an eye on GuixOS.

There was one contract job I took which I used Debian exclusively. Everyone else was using Macs. I did not have any loss by comparison other than converting some videos for a web application. I was missing some video formats. For development, I had emacs, apache, etc... no problem. They had their vim, or objective-C, for their applications, etc.
