According to the link below there are 529 accidents per 100 million miles driven for people aged 20-29. That is a bit better than 99.999% reliable. Self driving needs to get down to 1 intervention in 200k miles to match the average 20 year

The hardware sales I was talking about is their streaming box which is in no way dominant but is really nice. Also we have pretty much reached peak iPhone or close to it. These subscription services help keep people in the ecosystem as it

I don’t see how it would be any different for US taxes. When publicly traded stock vests you are taxed on value of the stock at that time as income. So, it is treated the same as if you received it as cash compensation for tax purposes. I

Apple can afford to play the long game here though. TV+ is nice value add on their bundled subscription package so may be driving more people to opt for that. I know it was a major factor in my decision and now I am playing Apple Arcade ga

That is what I am saying above. Full liability for the data stored and shared with others. Transitive liability would need to be a new law though as I don’t believe that currently exists. EDIT: forgot to mention consumers don’t need to ca

Full liability for secondary harms caused by the leak of data that wasn’t directly required to provide a service to those same end users. Selling of data to third parties doesn’t transfer this liability but expands it to include any leaks

I have been lucky enough to have been the youngest person on every team until my mid 30s. I worked with some truly gifted engineers, who had almost no ego, over the course of my career they just were much older than me. When I reflect I do

Integration with vulnerability scanning utilities and centralized permissions for orgs are nice benefits.

I said hybrid war. The US/EU is definitely in a proxy fight with Russia in Ukraine. Russia is definitely running disinformation campaigns and funneling money across the US and EU to try and tilt elections to their far right allies.

NATO didn’t decide to expand. Countries scared of Russian aggression have been clamoring to join. Russia invaded Georgia and Ukraine twice. They managed to get Sweden and Finland to join up thereby expanding their border with NATO by 1340

It’s not about morals. Russia and China are waging a hybrid war with the US/EU at the moment. Any US or European company absolutely should not trust a Russian or Chinese company at the moment. Especially not for antivirus. Just like

If Apple still made a router I would buy it. But they don’t… A new AirPort Extreme with an M Series I would be all over that though.

Death road on a mountain bike isn’t all that dangerous. It got its name because it used to be the only route to and from Brasil. So you would get 2 way traffic of like box trucks on a smallish dirt road with a sheer cliff drop off on one

Thanks for the heads up. 3 year lifespan isn’t a deal breaker for me. But ghosting of mouse cursor and refresh rate might be for existing options. Still researching but the parent post’s tech seems to solve the ghosting and refresh rate i

Yeah I try to use “service oriented architecture” in discussions because it implies as small as necessary instead of as small as possible. I find it reframes the discussion a bit and encourages a better set of initial domain boundaries. Wh

Oh yeah I agree. That is why I put in their “be as disciplined as you can be along the way”. If it never ships what’s the point; but if you ship something that has to be rewritten right away it’s almost as bad.

I have an M1 MacBook Pro. But, it is centrally managed, provisioned, monitored, …etc. It isn’t that it is Android. It is that they would have to sort out all of those things on this Android tablet for just me. So, it is that it isn’t the

I know you are advocating that position. But, I have seen lots of failed projects because of that thinking. They failed to get to customer #1 because they were building something to handle customer #1,000,000. Unless you are building some

Yep, I used to be that guy as well. It is easier to see things as black and white because then you don’t need to dive deep and it is easier to sell to management. The really strong engineers/architects I have known can explain the tr

Thanks for the link. I am actually just starting my research into that one and options from Dasung. This is one of those things that I didn’t know I needed/wanted until this HN post. But, I get bad headaches from eye strain and a hav

Adding an additional comment here for a little extra visibility. I would absolutely love, like really love, a USB-C portrait monitor version of this. If I could just plug this in to my existing laptop and use it for reading specs, technic

This is really interesting to think about. On the life extension point I wonder if that might be one of the great filters. Conquering natural death may have the effect of magnifying all the worst qualities of humanity. No need to leave a l

From what I have read Hashicorp did this relicensing since IBM was reselling Vault at scale in IBM cloud. They wanted to force IBM and other cloud providers to pay them instead I believe. IBM employees then initiated the fork of vault whic

That sounds super interesting. Does your friend have a GitHub or site that shows what they’re doing on that front. If so could you post link. This is super far out of my wheelhouse technically as a backend engineer but it sounds really co

General public can buy a M1 MacBook Air for $799 if they need a laptop at all. An air will serve them well for a long time.

Yeah we are for sure talking about the future here. There are already vehicles capable of handling 350kW chargers. Probably not too crazy to think that could double in the next decade. But I am definitely not expert on this.

Yeah I am thinking grid applications will take up most of the available supply for the next few years. That charge/discharge speed makes it perfect for helping to stabilize the grid, frequency regulation, as well as for replacing peak

From the article it claims charge speed 10x that of lithium and 50,000 cycle lifetime. I don’t know about you but a EV that can go 150 miles and charge to 80% again in 2min would be super compelling to me. Solid commuter car but not too an
