Apple is no stranger to aggressive pricing when it suits them.

Very interesting read, though it hurts me to see optimism in this paper mostly unwarranted from today’s perspective.

Slightly tongue-in-cheek answer is that the rest can’t afford their devices.

And US doesn’t set worldwide standards for their use.

US is very unique, mostly due to on average very low population density, which makes infrastructure very expensive per person. I feel like in Europe there is already a consensus that cars are most useful in countryside areas. The more the p

Thank you! I see it for the first time and I’m hooked(and love no JS policy)!

Chiplets, not cores(well, precisely cores as well, but the key tech is ability to connect chiplets). Relevant article: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/infinity_fabric

Like parent, I really like new big trackpad. I really wish people would accept both this and butterfly keyboard discussions as preferences, not “objectively better choices”.

This is disinformation. There is no law like this and pretty sure cannot be due to EU regulations. Thankfully.

There is a world of difference between not having a common and necessary feature and not having feature nobody else has neither. If project tries to establish itself as a serious competitor in a given field, communication is crucial. “We do

It helps to establish the software as state-of-the-art, even of particular issue is not addressed yet.

Yeah, because professional technologists are doing such a great job in US. Proliferation of monopolies, privacy scandals and elections meddling are primary examples of how great it’s going. Not to mention your companies are basically demand

And that is why you’re not bothered by Spectre and Meltdown?

I haven’t read Sapiens, but I read other books of the author. Calling him neo-liberal is the last thing that crossed my mind.

Don't understand the problem. I like new keyboard more than the previous one, I'm indifferent to touchbar and mapping escape to capslock was the best thing ever. The only thing I hate is keys getting stuck, but it actually stopped

Well, Poles actually have a history like that as well. You can read about Emilia Plater https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilia_Plater

Highly recommend those. Photos linked in OP are cool and true, but very... selected. They show what was already sort of archaic even for Poles. Niedenthal is way more representative and famous - he was Lech Walesa's presidential photog

It would probably give us some new insight on what computation actually is. Our inability to formally proof class separation suggests we're missing something.

If you try to differentiate monolith acceptability based on "quality of architecture", you really have never understood why they are hated in the first place.

In this case, I can assure you that iPhone8Plus/iPhoneX and successors camera is freaking awesome. Awesome enough to make me start doing photos for pleasure.

I'm a long time AMD fan, since my first computer had Athlon XP inside. However, over many years I have been using exclusively Intel CPUs, because in laptop space there was no other viable choice(and I use Macs). Nevertheless, I always

It's terrible from UX point of view. 1. 128 bit is likely an overkill. 64 bit would give more or less 2 billion addresses per every human for earth. Likely enough. 2. It's unreadable. Why the hell use hex? 3. It's been propos

Just did. 7 operators over 90%. On 7th page you get under 50% adoption if sorted. Well, given how old is IPv6, it's a failure.
208.
by d3ckard 8y ago
Is it time to just admit IPv6 is a failure and move on to new standard? Adoption is very slow though economical needs are already here. Instead of complaining about users maybe we should do something so they actually want to switch?

I don't know about others, but I don't care if my social media platform is centralized or not. I use FB mainly as news feed(I don't even get that many friends' posts), but I can easily migrate that. What I need is nothin

I'm much more optimistic. I suspect increase in social network investments and viable replacement coming out ~year from now. It's not very hard to copy main FB features, but baking privacy in will take some effort. To be honest, I
