If you choose to stick with your existing provider, you can negotiate a service contract where the provider hires and manages engineers that work exclusively on your account. We did this in the past with pretty good success. We were planning to exit in 1-2 years and didn't want to invest in an entirely new platform or build it ourselves when we knew the acquiring company would end up rolling up our service into their existing platform/infrastructure.

honest question, people who use zero calorie sweeteners might also be people who were otherwise engaging in unhealthy habits. For example, fast food workers will tell you that regulars order unhealthy items along with "diet coke" typically. I haven't read this research but do they account for biases like this?
Vaccines could be cool to give to entire populations, or for really poor or hard to reach places, doing a one and done approach. It could be part of kids’ shot regiment that they don’t even think about, like the hpv vaccine now.

Then for moderate and high risk people they could do the twice yearly shot once it becomes relevant.

Given Android has 71% of the worldwide market share it’s difficult to make the argument Apple holds a monopoly on the smartphone market [1]. Even in the US, until about 2020, Android had a higher subscriber base, and there is no reason the situation could not reverse and iOS drop below its July 2023 53% subscriber market share [2].

Moreover, give iPhones are significantly more expensive than comparable Android phones, Apple’s ability to claw market share back from Android phones over the last decade is the opposite of how a monopolist might operate by flooding a market with cheap alternatives. It speaks to a consumer perception that iPhones have a larger value.

It really isn't. Apple pays insanely well to exclusively use TSMC top tier node. I would not be surprised if the SoC in an iphone costs Apple 10 times as much as the average android phone SoC.
Linked in the article, but it looks like Black, Asian and other races will stay relatively stable in terms of % of population all the way to 2050. And the main changes will be that the % of Hispanic population will go up (immigration + higher fertile age population) and % of White population will go down (mostly aging). It's not as much as % of "people of color" going up as it is framed.

One thing to consider with in-house dev is there's no one to yell at except the man in the mirror. Think about this, you need an application as part of your workflow, you're not in the business of selling the software development. What you risk happening is employing a dev team who's job becomes writing code 9-5. Your developers don't have much of an incentive to deliver a v1, they get paid no matter what.

A small, experienced, eat-what-they-kill consultancy may be better. If they don't deliver they don't eat. A firm like that is motivated to get things done on budget and on time. You'll get the application you need to move on with your business rather than having an internal software development firm 100% funded in perpetuity by your real business.
I’m not sure the article fully gets there (he’s clearly driving business for his own course), but the general idea is that you don’t set a “goal” of a thing you hope to accomplish - you should be fully envisioning who that future you will be - and what they do every day…then start doing that. So the quest is about who you want to become, while the goal is just an aspiration without a real vision.

How do you "create an environment" without "imposing more rules"? If you don't really do anything, status quo remains. I guess you could be referring to rules that need to be abolished, so I wonder which ones are really stopping competitors to Apple from springing up that we should do away with?

They spent so much time worried about fashion that it would have been nice if they'd spent even a tiny amount of time thinking about respecting user's privacy or their own morals. They refused, as a design decision, to allow users to download their data to their PC instead of having it uploaded to FitBit's servers because they wanted to collect that data and use it for their own purposes.

Protecting their user's privacy was such an afterthought that their website in 2008 didn't even have a privacy policy which violated the California Online Privacy Protection Act of 2003. When they finally did add one it said that they sold your data to third parties for marketing/consumer research and used it to push ads at you for "health clubs, weight loss programs and sports and fitness equipment"

Ultimately what they built was just one more shitty ad platform that exploited people's personal data for the benefit of several third parties at the expense of their users. It's no wonder that they got bought by Google, the ultimate ad platform that exploits people's personal data.

It's such a shame, because they had an opportunity to create something useful that worked for the people who paid for the product instead of turning those paying customers into another product to sell. The fact that they were exploiting people's health data just made it even worse.

I've never owned a FitBit and have often warned others to avoid them. Initially, I'd recommended pedometers that worked just as well (if not better) without the spying and ads, but these days wearable devices are capable of doing a whole lot more and it's still hard to find ones that respect their customers enough to let them control their own data and prevent it from being sold to data brokers, governments, and ad companies.

I'm sure the FitBit will always be viewed as a great success story, but all I see is a tragedy and a lack of ethics.

It's not just TSMC chips. Apple forces other chip manufacturers into exclusive deals to lock out the ability for 3rd party repair to be done cost effectively and reliably. Apple shouldn't be able to control the chip markets as they do. As indicated in the article they create slave labor conditions in a lot of these manufacturers because they're wholly dependent on Apple's whims. This also creates an e-waste problem globally as Apple inhibits the ability to more easily repair their hardware. Louis Rossman has some great examples [0] of Apple continuing to put defective hardware into devices that Apple knows will, and has, failed and there is no easy way to replace these components because Apple has locked up the supply chain via purchasing all available inventory and having exclusive rights to non-proprietary chips. This means you can't repair a device you own at a fiscally fair price. Instead you're forced into buying an entire assembly so Apple can charge a much higher multiple on a part that has higher margins which may just force you to buy an entirely new product because of the price point differential.

They used to be reliable until Google bought the company. I'll never buy another piece of Google hardware after my last Fitbit. It lasted 18 months and they declined to replace it since their warranty is even shorter. I refuse to buy disposable electronics.
Not quite. I think we need to split the value of ARM the instruction from specific implementation.

1 - In term of pure efficiency, nothing magical about ARM. Looking at AMD latest strix laptop platform they are about on par with qualcomm new arm laptop chips.

Apple M* CPU are still better. However, a lot of that efficiency is platform derived.

2 - The lower cost in the cloud is a function of the middle man being removed. Amazon is selling graviton cheaper simply because they don't have to pay the markup of AMD or Intel.
Can this create Apple-watch-specific apps?
I'm saying it may as well not exist for people who can't afford it. You might say it's worse than not existing when it does exist but they can't have it because you would rather people die than receive treatment, due to your weird ideas about people making money and how justified that is.

Your bend over backwards justification of greed over human life is rather insane.
How does that cause a population decrease?

"It's too expensive, no one lives there anymore"?
Because the advertisement inappropriately calls the product a solution to an unrelated problem. The manufacturer can demonstrate that it will eliminate my halitosis but not that it will get me laid. Using the initial example, I might be less addicted to alcohol but that doesn't necessarily make me a better parent; the advertisement sold me on being a better parent.

(I appreciate your questions. I had to think about that one.)
i think they wanted to facilitate the use case of 'if the string is truncated, then close the connection and log an error message', or 'if the string is truncated, then return an error code', as in the example code i quoted from the paper

strdup() is not helpful in examples like the one i quoted from the paper, where you are building up a string by concatenating substrings, but something like stralloc is. (see other subthread) the paper recommends the libmib astring functions, which are something like stralloc: http://www.mibsoftware.com/libmib/astring/. they definitely were not recommending that people copy and paste those six lines of code with slight changes every time they wanted to copy a string

i don't agree that it makes the function explode in other use cases. if you're okay with truncation then strlcpy() will silently truncate your strings if you don't check its return value

your strscpy() example has a parse error; i think you meant

if ( strscpy(path, homedir, sizeof(path)) == sizeof(path) ) return (ENAMETOOLONG);

which leads me to think that you mean that if strlen(homedir) is 12 and sizeof(path) is 13, strscpy copies 12 characters (not counting the nul) and returns 12, not 13, while if strlen(homedir) is 13 in that case, it also copies 12 characters, but returns 13. i agree that that would work; it is so similar to the flawed design rejected in the strlcpy paper that i thought you meant the same thing, but you evidently meant something subtly different. i agree that that design would also work for strscat

at that point, though, it might be better to return -1 or INT_MAX rather than dsize on truncation; you can't use the return value you've specified for anything before you check whether it's equal to dsize or not. (this is also true of strlcpy!) actually you also specified to return a negative value on certain other errors, which means you have to check the return value twice before using it for anything; possibly this was a mistake

i also agree that using sizeof on arrays is a footgun for exactly the reason you say, although in this case the most likely result would be that you'd notice the bug and fix it, since pointers are too short for most strings
Getting "Generation Error!" whenever I try to generate an app.
I'm buying PCs for myself for three decades and never chose Intel for my build (apart from the Pentium 133 in my first pc computer). Every time I considered it but alternative was just significantly cheaper option at power levels that interested me.

The only Intel's I got were in laptops where I was interested only about the price of a whole PC that interested me for other reasons than CPU.

Since Internet became a thing I choose CPU by downloading price and benchmark results, drawing price/power chart and choosing a point on a good edge of a point cloud that's not unreasonably expensive. It never happened to be Intel.
And it's not just isolated factories. There is a whole ecosystem of interrelated manufacturing & assembly companies that you would have to transplant to the US.

And I keep hearing that there are hundreds of thousands of people working on iPhone assembly. I can't even imagine how long it would take to replicate such a workforce in the US. Wages aside, this seems to be rather exacting, meticulous work with limited paths of advancement. Where are these laborers going to come from?

As Steve Jobs is reported to have told Barack Obama in 2010: "These jobs are not coming back".
If it's a big enough effect size you wouldn't need many people taking it, at least for something like Alzheimers. If it stops/reverses it in just a few people out of 10 you'd know to scale up.

I'd take whatever the hell you'd give me even for a .00001% chance of it working at a 25% chance of it screwing me up further if I had Alzheimers as well.

If they played their cards right as the top dog ~20 years ago, they could have perhaps ended up with the relationship with Apple that TSMC does today.

My phrasing is confusing and I apologize for that. I do not mean market leader in that there are more AMD CPUs than Intel CPU. I'm speaking about hardware performance.
Let me get this straight: the "close relationship to JD Vance" is that he wrote an article that mentioned that Vance said something nice about Lina Khan, and this article means that Trump will "most likely" fire Lina Khan and hire Matt Stoller?
PS - if you are looking for more of the academic side (cutting edge, much harder statistics), you can start to look at recent work people are doing with A/B tests like this paper -> https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.05670
Intel actually has it even worse because they completely failed to bring ARC to market in time. The product came out (very) late, underdelivered, and permanently damaged the brand reputation. Yes, the drivers and thus the cards have gotten better, but who's talking about them now? Noone.

They say the opposite of love is indifference, and basically everything Intel has sold outside of CPUs and NICs have suffered market indifference. Actually, maybe even the NICs given everyone seems to prefer Realtek NICs over Intel NICs these days.

Nvidia and AMD have it way better because if the market doesn't love them, you bet the market will hate on them instead of be indifferent.
The value of ARM is that anyone with enough money can license Arm cores and incorporate them in their own products, which can be optimized for some custom applications.

The level of customization possible with an x86 CPU is much less. You must buy a complete computer board or module and incorporate it in your product.

While for custom applications it is easy to create a superior solution with Arm cores, for general-purpose computers it is hard to compete with the Intel and AMD CPUs. All the computers with Arm cores have worse performance per dollar than similar x86 computers. (For instance there was recently a thread on HN about a credit-card-sized computer with an Intel N100 CPU and with the same price or lower as a Raspberry Pi, but with a much higher performance.)
They do the best they can, but it’s actually impossible to do the real scientific method with human participants without going all Frankenstein crazy.

It looks like I'm implying that companies are successful in getting those things from a K8s transition, but I wasn't trying to say that, just thinking of the times when I've seen these migrations happen and relaying the stated aims. I agree, I think it can be a burner of dev time and a burden on the business as devs acquire the new skillset instead of doing more valuable work.
Performance. Intel still manages to squeak out some wins against AMD when it comes to single-threaded CPU task but in every other metric, they are chasing AMD.
The research teams want to get their drug approved so it can help many people. This means proving it is safe and effective.

Unfortunately, using it in a non-study context risks a whole lot of confusion-- if the marginal, near-death case that wouldn't qualify for your trial dies in a weird way, what do you do?

Not to mention that prior to approval, there are no economies of scale in production.
