I'll go on the record and say above 5% by December 31st 2022. Depending on who you ask, its at ~2% today. If that feels high to you, remember: it includes Chromebooks. As it grows, you'll absolutely hear people say "Chromeboo

Those are all reasonable arguments, but the argument I most believe reflects Apple's internal thinking is pretty much just "everyone already has lightning at this point, switching to USBC would make headlines in a bad way, generat

An excellently fascinating diversion (page 47): it appears to be about 1.5 cups, and the cause of death actually can be asphyxiation due to fume inhalation even during ingestion.

Its kind of in-between. The number reported is the additive oxidation energy of the generally bio-available components in the food. But, of course, no one's body is as efficient as "burning a twinkie in a cleansing fire", so

A cup of gasoline has ~2,000 calories. Assuming you don't die from drinking it, this trivially and obviously would not have the same impact as eating 2 McDonald's McDoubles. But it does have the same calories. So, it turns out, ca

Literally, nothing is unreasonable for Apple. They're among the richest companies on the planet. I'm over Corporate Equity and treating them the same as the mom & pop grocery store down the street. Yeah, it'd be unreasona

For sure. Its rather convenient for Moderna that the vaccines will probably need to be re-administered every year. Which isn't to say that it could be better, just that it isn't, and that's very convenient for them; I bet t

That's reasonable criticism of my criticism. I would defend myself by saying that it feels like the opposite is also true. I built up a strawman and struck it down, but the recommendations in the original blog post, and here, are defin

One of the issues with that argument is: If Biden's workplace vaccine mandate goes through, many of the remaining people who decide not to get vaccinated simply won't have insurance, given they'll also be out of a job. Instea

We have an API similar to this. I'd say, it can make sense. But one big issue is how it muddies the line of where certain frontend decisions should be made. For example; if you have a person's profile picture, and you want to roun

If you could choose between 30% of a billion dollars, or 15% of twenty billion, which would you pick? There are externalities to each choice, of course, but the correct answer is, actually, the obvious one. Apple is not in the right on this

Should we really be designing mainstream computing, used by billions of people, for the 0.1% of dying old people born in the 1950s? I hate to be crass, but this is such an unfathomably bad argument you present. My grandparents are all dead,

Everyone interprets arguments differently. Some reason against the vaccine may be insufficient to dissuade you, but it may dissuade another. "I took it, but here's a bunch of reasons to not to" is THE best argument for equani

Its totally healthy to both believe that the vaccine makes sense for you, and still respect, love, include, and accomodate people who decide it isn't right for them. We're all different, and the world is very complicated; that&#x2

It depends on the game; for something like CS:GO or Overwatch, an integrated GPU @ 1080p is fine. For something like Cyberpunk, Apex Legends, or Call of Duty, its really not enough for an enjoyable experience.
