How many more would there have been without him? Anyway, You listed 14 unique devices. In the late 90s Apple probably had that many Performas alone, never mind everything else.

Also not parent. I do blind type but I love the Touch Bar. There are many CAD programs that I use approximately monthly and I can never remember which F keys does what exactly. In my office I have cheat sheets on the wall but when out

Definitely. The various transforms are useful for many things besides control. Although control is an important one.

I never thought of it that way. For me Laplace is all about region of convergence and representing things like the Dirac Delta function in a way that’s easy to manipulate. Basically the video ignores the idea that the X(w) integral may not

Are you able to provide a link to pictures of a playground designed by your friend? I would be very interested in see it. The playgrounds sound very well thought out.

This plumbing switch-er-roo scam is not new. A hotel tried the same thing on me in Paris in 2000. I booked a hotel in district 1 and they tried to move me to one on the edge due to flooding. Luckily I had been warned by a friend and refu

How long have you been storing them and do you take any precautions? I ask because those batteries have a shelf life and storage condition can change things dramatically. See: https://www.runpcrun.com/laptop-battery-use-an

I was very skeptical of this machine and the whole Mac Pro as concept car idea [1] but the Afterburner Accelerator Card has me wondering if I was wrong. Especially if Apple finds a way to support more works flows and applications with it.

It’s definitely good that people are thinking about this but like with many thing, the devil is in the details. I think there are a lot of parallels to banking & financing and the regulation and oversight of those industries. Definitely

I wonder how true that is. The volume is probably going to be pretty low which means it will harder to amortize the NRE. It’s not just all the hardware engineers either. There probably a ton of specific software, not to mention drivers,

I know nothing of Medallion, but I'm curious if only private insiders can invest, how do you know they're not just lying about how much they return?

I think the security expectations for those two platforms are very different, and that's why Apple balances them differently. MacOS gives up a lot of security for those extra abilities, and on MacOS I don't feel like I ever really

A time proven way to get rich by old age is to not spend money. It's a decent way to stay rich too. P.S. If it "should be" cheap doesn't it make sense to complain when it's expensive?

Just out of curiosity, how do you imagine that would work in the real world? Apple's main thing is security, and one important aspect of how they achieve it is by only allowing signed code, which Apple also does some basic tests on, to

I was thinking the same thing. Apparently tech means software now, at least according to the author. For example, what about companies like DuPont. Surely they are a technology company. Are they also a tech company? The author provides

I read through the article and wondered, how did they determine which questions were fake news and which weren’t? That wasn’t really addressed. Oh well, I guess I’ll just believe what I was told by the WSJ...

Apple != entire electronics industry, one would hope the right to repair debate was larger than just Apple. Frankly, I hope it extends past consumer electronics as well.
