I could imagine one Linux kernel running in a VM (on top of MacOS) and then containers inside that host OS. So 1 base instance (MacOS), 1 hypervisor (Linux L0), 12 containers (using that L0 kernel).

It really should be outlawed almost everywhere. It's the biggest crop in America and iirc the largest consumer of water and insecticides and other chemicals. Natural lawns can be beautiful and more positive for the local environment.

And newspapers and magazines. You pay for the magazine and you also get the ads inside.

Big +1. Company margins are real but they're not orders of magnitude. If you're spending $100MM/year on a corporate product, trying to spend less than let's say $80MM/year simply means that you're not serious

Yeah, people in the US can choose not to have WhatsApp. In the rest of the world you have to be opt out of lots of stuff to not have WhatsApp.

It will continue to be yearly but now all the OS numbers will be the same (the most important part) and require little inside knowledge to know if it's new or old (only a geek would know that iOS 15 was released in 2024 for instance, t

Xcode on Windows/Linux would be wacky and not worth the effort - it's very tightly coupled to MacOS so effectively impossible imho. People targeting MacOS/iOS aren't typically running Windows on the desktop. The more c

This is important but I've seen a car hit a pedestrian in NYC and no long term injury and no police. So any stats would need projected, science-backed 'real' numbers to drive policy, not just what's reported.

Getting a pedelec bike to 20mph takes real effort unless cheats are involved - it's not really a moped. However there needs to be some honest classification that's global to handle the new spectrum from traditional bike to full o

Why is that strange? Cyanide seems like an obvious thing to test for at scale. Safety engineering doesn't say 'that doesn't seem likely even though it's dangerous and easy to control for so I'll not handle the sce

That's not statistics as much as sensationalism. Every morning on WSJ at about 7am you'll see a 'live' update about how the markets and futures are in a 'selloff' or 'surging' even if the percentages

keep in mind that for tying around things and binding, that the knot is really there to maximize the friction of the line against the thing - and to do so under various circumstances. Ideally the knot itself is holding very little load.

Writing, at a level sufficient to get your point across and be well read, is within reach of most people. The writing is not really an intelligence test. The gap is typically that if something is written poorly we can infer the underlying

Nobody said that. The comment above said that poor writing is indicative of poor thinking (about the subject).

I believe Google released a paper about 2 years ago that said the same thing. There is no moat with AGI. Companies will find moats though - they just haven't figured out yet how.

There's only one Jony Ive and alot of demand from the company with the deepest pockets in town ... UX will make or break any major new AI product - especially hardware. The price is steep but I think it's actually a sensible move

I think you're being snarky but that plus all the other X stuff is a trustbuster for many people.

That's really disingenuous. Clearly Biden Jr. was getting paid more than he would have but he probably did have unique insights that would be worth quite a bit of money to Burisma. But the accusation is just that he made a few $100k

You'd have to make that case. Even the naive answer would be 'no' but I can't think of a reason why a narrowly focused business is better than a government-backed enterprise when it comes to doing research. It's n

This is why, although I know there will be problems with it, we should get AI and blood tests more accessible for individuals. Accessing the healthcare system for "I know I'm not 100% but ... I don't have anything specific w

Two interesting meta-points. Candidates didn't necessarily want to be Doge - it really was a loss of independence and potentially wealth for already wealthy individuals from powerful families. Second, the one Doge who tried to become

Grey failures are harder for large systems to handle. If a chunk goes hard down that's usually easy. Something like voltage oscillations that trigger cascading failures in a sequence can lead to negative feedback loops that bring it

The argument is mutually exclusive though. People going 80 in a 60 will be considered the same as those going 40 in a 20 and the punishments won't diverge between the two when they should. The latter is significantly more dangerous -

Apparently archivists had a realization that clean and dry hands are the most precise for handling delicate objects and that actually mistakes are made with any sort of glove. It's only dealers using white gloves at this point to give

The US credit card system is not highly fragmented - there are just 3 big players and maybe 2 smaller players. There are tons of banks but that's not an issue for chip and pin. Anyway Europe also has a fragmented bank landscape.
