While a x86-ARM translator of some sort is certainly possible, keep in mind that Xcode added support for BitCode back in 2015, which means that binaries are uploaded to the App Store in LLVM IR and compiled to the target architecture by App

While this may sound creepy for a foreigner, getting a decent apartment in the SF Bay Area is really expensive and the commutes are horrible. So in this context, that could be a good thing.

I had occasional lazy eye and went to an eye exam as a kid, which didn't give me any useful info. In my 20s a friend performed an eye exam on me and diagnosed me with astigmatism in my left eye. Since my right eye was seeing much bette

One thing I think every Silicon Valley startup and investor should be afraid of is the incredible rate and depth of adoption of new technologies in China. I came across two examples recently. First, in China e-books have taken over paper bo

The Bank of England is not a customer of Ripple. Their fintech accelerator used Ripple for a proof of concept, which "was a useful exercise to develop the Bank’s understanding of synchronisation and possible technical solutions.".

If I was to fork a cryptocurrency codebase, I would start with Stellar. Their architecture and code quality are probably the best out there.

Of course it's not meant for IoT. It's written in Java, has the whole ternary nonsense going, and uses custom crypto, which would be really slow to implement, compared to hardware-accelerated RSA or AES most cheap embedded chips h

It'd be awesome if Apple made an anniversary Macbook Air with upgraded internals, like Lenovo did recently. Would buy one in a heartbeat.

I'm not seeing the angle for an NSA-type agency - what would they benefit? There are enough events of significance that happen organically - they could track those much more easily. They don't need to create an artificial event. T

In the past few days there were a handful of links dated as far back as 2006, directly explaining the attack vector, or strongly hinting at it. So, the likelihood that NSA and a bunch of other groups knew is 100%. Unfortunately, Intel knew,

For context, ChromiumOS is already available on Google Cloud as their recommended Kubernetes host OS. Launching a new GCE instance gives me "Container-Optimized OS 63-10032.71.0 beta (ChromiumOS-4.4.86 Kubernetes: 1.7.8 Docker: 17.03.2

I grew up in an ex-socialist country and we got our first McDonald's in the mid 90s. It was an exciting new thing, a new taste, a new model of restaurants and consumption. My family took us on multiple road trips to the McDonald'

On paper, E2 visas look fairly easy, as many active businesses can demonstrate $100k+ in investment/expenses and a decent business plan. What are the potential issues there? Why are those visas not more popular?

What the article dances around is the Efficient Market Hypothesis, which, in short, claims that there is one true price for every financial asset. No market is truly efficient, but some are more efficient than others. Low spreads and lack o

It's pretty understandable that fanboys are badgering skeptics on social networks. If I had a few hundred thousand pop out of the blue from a cryptocurrency fad, maybe I would be doing it as well. And that's a big problem, because

For me, the example of a physicist who dislikes gay people is particularly worrying, because it involves setting very arbitrary lines in the sand of what is acceptable and what is not. What if it was a biologist that dislikes gay people? Or

One of the new "features" not mentioned here is that the iMac Pro is no longer user-serviceable. The screws to open the back are gone, and you can't replace the RAM and, presumably, the SSD. For a $5000 Pro machine, that&#x27

As a crude, but workable safety precaution, the Apple Configurator[1] can prevent your phone from pairing with other devices, so even if someone resets the backup password, they would still not be able to recover its content. Keep in mind,

Please, please make a headless mode for this! My ideal use case would be to run this on a development VM and be able to connect to it with my VS Code and debug live on the VM. This would be a much better experience than rsync-ing your chang

The irony is that both Biz's [1] and Jack's [2] tweets announcing the change could convey the same message with a third of the characters. In fact, they'd be better written. The need to carefully think, rethink, edit, and ree

It'd be great if the message shown is a little more direct than "Your computer has detected a potential problem", because having an unknown EFI is pretty worrying. With the current wording, there's a good chance I'd

A good solution for grandparents is to ask for wheelchair service. It is usually free and they'll get whisked from the checkin desk all the way to the baggage claim on the other end. If they don't like the idea of sitting in a whe

It's a chilling reminder that AI taking over humanity doesn't need to happen with giant killer robots. Instead it could be AI turning some people against others. This is already happening across the board. The stock market, loans,
