In before someone recommends building UPI on the blockchain and having region specific rollups to settle transactions offchain, that also uses a bluetooth mesh network to communicate with all nodes. (just a joke, this won't work due to

Why? I am so tired of certain section of Indians online pretending that somehow all entertainment should be dictated as per their sensibilities of what's acceptable and what's not. What's wrong in having movies that are over

I think this is more common than people realize. Especially in the Indian subcontinent, where most people have a smartphone but only few have a PC. I learnt programming on pen and paper first and then on those phone IDEs even before I had a

Hmm the X Chip difference makes sense, because they are the same chip with the regular one built to be mobile. But in case of M2, the same distinction doesn't make sense because they are built for larger devices by default. Though I gu

That's also true. They already made some kind of add-on card for the Mac Pro, right?

Hmm, the discrete GPU would be interesting, but I don't think would go back to that. The SoC model has been working out great for Apple, I can't see them seceding control to get a discrete 3rd-party GPU working.

Oh yeah, that could be it. Apple's Pro Display XDR with an ARM processor would be interesting, though the question is are the M SoCs ready to drive those yet?

If both iMac and iMac Pro are powered by the same chip, then what would be the differentiating factor between them?

hmm, no. While compile-time type check[0] for SQL queries changes your whole experience of how you do SQL, at the end of the day creating an webapp in rust is not as easy or mature as any of the other languages more suited for the task. If

Disregarding all allegations, Huawei is one of the bigger tech companies and is one that has its finger in every pie, especially across domains where rust is advertised as a better alternative to incumbent C/C++. I can see why they are

MINIX is actually on a different processor, in Platform Controller Hub. And there are three things you need to know about it: 1. It runs with highest privilege, so it has access to the whole system but you can't access it. 2. Its alway

Actually, Stripe is a really good one. Shopify, I dunno, I can't see it meshing too well with Google's current products or google even doing a good job developing Shopify further, especially after being acquired at more than 100B$

Hmm, I see a few publication using the `cloud kitchen` term in a generic way. But maybe if I opened a business, maybe they will see that as trying to take advantage of an existing brand. No idea if that's how trademark works.

Any source on that? I tried searching for it, seems like Kalanick does have a new venture called CloudKitchens but can't find anything on whether the phrase 'cloud kitchen' itself is trademarked.

Ah, I was not aware of that distinction

Yeah. But it is still Netflix controlling both end, they are just extending their supply chain to include more indie creators but at the end of the day who gets to get on the platform and how much they can earn isn't a direct function

Hmm, I think I get your point. But still, I don't see if it will ever be as effective a market for individual creators as youtube.

I think the more savvy term for it is cloud kitchens.

but to be a biggest acquisition, it has to be a few years old unicorn with a solid revenue models at this point. And among the current ones, I can't think of any that would give Google an opportunity to diversify from their click-based

Isn't Netflix the odd one out there? They control both the platform and the content.

Hmm, I was not putting the blame on Apple here, rather Wistron. While indirectly, Apple may be responsible for Wistron's behavior, most of the fault lies with Wistron and how they are used to treat their employees as disposable, while
