iPhones are bigger and have more power: the chip in the Apple Watch might be different. It's just an hypothesis.

I would not be entirely surprised if Apple sees smartwatches has having the potential to kill smartphones down the road. Siri will need a lot of improvements, but in 3 to 5 years I think we will be at a place where people start to switch.

It might be a technological issue: standards (GSM, CDMA) and allowed frequencies vary a lot from country to country. The chip in this Apple Watch might be too specific? If it's a purely contractual issue, it should be gone soon (for a

Mercedes has a lot of help in this fight: the writing is not on the wall, it's in the law. That should be quite helpful in convincing employees to not only not fight the change, but to push for the change. At some point survival instin

The A340-600 has four engines, not six. But the point is still true with, say, a Boeing 787. Here are the figures for the 787-9: maximum takeoff weight: 560,000 lb; maximum landing weight: 425,000 lb [1]. In case of an emergency the pilot h

It depends a lot on what you are learning. I think playing DreamBox significantly helped my daughter (1st grade) learn how to count. Simply because she likes playing with it so she got a lot of practice for no effort. The key is there: no e

You can very easily buy a MacBook with a "normal" US keyboard, even in France. Personally I gave up the french layout several years ago. It took me maybe one week to get comfortable with the US-International input to type accents

I think the American use of "liberal" comes from social liberalism [1], which is certainly to the left of classical liberalism. In Europe "liberal" is more traditionally use to mean classical liberalism, hence the discre

Not all regulation is born equal. When the single payer is also the regulator (which is the case for nationalized healthcare), regulation is introduced to limit the costs. When the regulator is being reelected thanks to the money given to i

I think the GameCube was actually ahead of the PlayStation 2 and behind the XBox in terms of raw power. But it might have had other limitations that I'm unaware of.

I do care about that extra 1mm, when it comes to a latptop. I think most people who buy a laptop to use it on the go care about that. To be entirely fair I care more about the weight reduction than the 1mm. For instance the new MacBook Pro

Out of curiosity I checked the number of employees of a small car manufacturer no too far from my hometown: Bugatti. 91 employees for an output of about 40 cars a year. I'm actually surprised that is possible at all to be so small in t

Not the person to whom you are asking, but this is my perception of Apple. The state of OpenGL will never improve: if you've followed Apple at any point over the last 25 years, it's pretty clear that they disengage very quickly fr

All modern Boeings (>= B777) are FBW (fly by wire) and have flight envelope protection. A 787 will absolutely not go over-speed: it will automatically throttle back.

I might be wrong by I think you missed maybe the most important keyword: backup. You can't fix a missing/corrupted backup, at this point it's too late. So you need to get it right. It's not like, say, configuring nginx.

Indeed I was not commenting on Kay's intent, that I am not qualified to talk about. I was just adding the IMHO important precision that Erlang certainly didn't implement "==" as message passing. After all, Erlang was nev

That's more or less how erlang work: by async message-passing, and it's used to build extremely (99.9999999%) reliable softwares. A "best-effort" semantic is more than enough: when you really care if the message has been

I have an E-2 visa, valid for 5 years. The way it works is exactly as you read on www.uscis.gov: upon entry in the US there is a 2 year reentry permission: it is renewed each time the border is crossed. In practice it means that I need to g

This particular dogfighting scenario is pretty much extinct, but there's a line of thought that "stealth" aircrafts would in fact bring back dogfights. It's pretty logical: if you can't detect an aircraft from far a

Erlang doesn't compile to machine code, but to bytecode that runs into the Erlang VM. So you would probably have to run the Erlang VM on top of javascript... I'm not sure whether it's possible, but it sure sounds heavy.

Quality usually don't go up when releasing less frequently, quite the opposite. The more you change things, the more likely you are to have severe bugs. When Apple was releasing major OS upgrades less frequently, you usually had to wai
