There are generally two types of architects: white collar and blue collar. White collar architects are artists, and spend their time designing. Then they hand their sketches to structural engineers and say "Figure out how to build this

I'd disagree. The purchaser is an adult, but the customer is not. Who gets excited about a particular toy? That's the customer. (Note: I'm not talking about the edutainment market here)

Because most toy companies don't / can't understand vertical integration and increasing value capture. Or, in other words, they don't have their own version of this strategy chart: https://johnaugust.com/

Windows could probably run on ARM tomorrow (or at least, in 6 months) if Microsoft really wanted it to. What it could probably not do is run-on-ARM with acceptable performance for every legacy app . Windows' bread and butter has alw

Because sometimes the net result of individual optimization (predatory food delivery apps) is social deoptimization (local restaurants close). And for the same reason that we don't allow health insurance to charge people different rate

Human-in-the-loop, definitely. My point being that they still deploy a lot of low-level data science against data sets to prepare a view for human interaction. And their typical customers have limited ability to do that prep in-house.

Also, that early drive speed. Everyone takes 24x for granted now, but between slow CPUs and early drives... well, there's a reason the Captain Marvel joke only played for a very particularly aged cohort. https://www.youtube.

My gut says one potential reason would be that small businesses in the South tend to have a much shorter pipeline of upcoming work, along with fewer labor protections. E.g. a tradesperson will generally be out day-of in a metro, vs that ver

It's a fine call... if they could scale Atom down that low + eat the margin hit to gut ARM dev boards. Neither of which they executed on.

It could definitely be managed better, to optimize for what they seem to be trying to (sport + performance). Budget caps seems like a cop-out though, as eventually the budgetary rules inherit all the complexity in the current technical rule
