"Compression" and "Encryption" seem like two words I wouldn't expect in the same sentence. Wouldn't you compress the file independently ... regardless of anytype of encryption (homomorphic or not).

Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t this single PhD-level agent be able to be used by everyone in your company. Paying $240k/year for company-wide access (if you’re a Fortune 500 company), isn’t bad.

From what I’ve experienced, the only thing that will cause your M-Series warm/hot is using the GPU. So if you’re not gaming nor have tons of UI windows open (since macOS UI is rendered with GPU) - you’ll never experience your M-serie

Isn't it just a "price laddering" strategy. Where you make the prices of a maxed out lower tier product be more expensive than a barebones higher tier, so it incentives you to "ladder up" your product choice. Best e

None of those services would exist without Apples hardware business though. So you can't exactly look at the margins in insolation.

Apple pricing strategy is a masterclass lesson. For the iPhone, there once was a time that $600 was the cost of the highest end phone. Now Apple has created a pricing architecture (and laddering) where $600 today only gets you the entry le

Most people don't realize that many CxOs have employment contracts with a set term (that has to be renewed), pay schedules and pre-negotiated departure payout. I'm not saying whether or not this payout is right. What I'm sayi

Is this a real problem, or a perceived problem? I know people like to complain about Apple's software quality - but is this actually an issue - or just the popular thing to say?

People sometimes use structs when a class has only public members. And I believe the STL is also implemented that way as well.

CSS for styling is straight forward (which makes sense since ‘CSS’ is cascading ‘styling’ sheets) CSS for layout takes sometime getting use too. For me, the benefit of any css framework is not in prepackaged styles - it’s in simplifying

Probably don't want to use the trademarked Apple logo and Finder icon in this theme (as seen in the top screenshot). And I don't see exactly what's different in the "Default" -> "Majave" Nautlis style .

Does OpenBSD still have a giant lock? Genuinely curious, and it’s been years since I’ve looked at it.

by alberth 2y ago
While I totally agree, OpenBSD has a goal to run on some legacy & esoteric hardware. Hardware that isn’t supported by many of these “newer & safer” languages.

You just described volume-based discounts. What’s so wrong with that? It’s the same reason why buying a single soda at a convenience store cost more (per unit) than buying a large pack at Costco.
