What could Apple possibly gain by switching to RISC-V? They already design their own ARM cores anyway so licensing isn’t an issue

Maybe a bit to extreme? For first few offenses a few days in the stocks sounds reasonable, the second time we take an ear and for third offense you can pick between the gallows or being shipped to Australia.

I’m not so sure. It probably matters a whole lot more when you’re starting and nobody is using your app. Twitter would likely had a much harder time catching up if was called “X” and looked as ugly as now.. And even for a mature product it

Really hope you’re just trolling.. But just to clarify a bit: I’m not “backing down” from anything I said. Unfortunately it’s just hard tell what exactly I’m supposed to substantiate because your diatribes are a bit too incoherent.. and it’

You’d have to spend a fortune on cheating prevention and would still fail. Also just trying to maximize standardized test scores by ignoring everything else is an outright awful idea. What would even be the point of that?

This would be ruined by cheating and people trying to game the system (and this includes pupils, parents and teachers).

Short term that might be the case. However longterm (as long as the economy continues growing) you would still expect nominal earnings and revenue to increase at least at the same pace. Also it varies a lot by sector, consumer staples for i

Why would you want to privatize something that is effectively a natural monopoly? How could consumers ever benefit from that over the longterm?

Also significant inflation = higher stock prices, while your principal would only decrease in value if you buy bonds.

Apple bobs yield just ~0.9% or so kore than 10 year treasuries. You have to go for much riskier companies to get significantly above 5%. Of course if there is a recession, the stock market tanks and most importantly the Fed starts cutting r

There is no need to take any comment which is barely even targeted at you so personally. Being so angry at random people on the internet is not good for you..

I’m in awe of your seemingly psychic ability to sense people’s emotions over the internet. However seeing personal insults everywhere and feeling the need to respond in kind seems rather tiresome.

It was satire? Makes sense now.. The Roman legal system was extremely arbitrary and highly dysfunctional by modern standard. Why transporting some random feature of it (which contributed to it being such) to the modern world would ever be a

Yes but a quite often when you don’t actually understand what you’re looking at those patterns and analogies end up being imaginary.

Right. But turning two things which are bad in different ways into one doesn’t seem to accomplish much besides limit whatever choice is left.

Not throughout much of Europe. Not directly anyway, since reforms were often enacted by liberal/conservative parties because they were widely popular.

The unemployment rate is extremely low these days, yes they do have other options in most places. Many choose to work for uber because they prefer the flexibility to having to work shifts with very limited options to alter your schedule.

Why so you think working for uber is fundamentally worse than being a part time low wage worker with almost no flexibility anywhere else?
