ARM came out of europe. With the right industrial policy, chip manufacturing could be onsourced. The dutch already make most of the equipment that makes the fabs/chips. It's not necessarily about supply and demand. These past fe

Predicting the future is hard, but the labour market is still extremely tight, boomers are leaving the workforce due to retirement, and there will probably be (attempts at) on-shoring as the west tries to decouple from China. Europe will p

I live in Canada and our condominium negotiated for CAD$40/month (included in our strata fees) with Bell (essentially a Canadian Verizon) 1.5GB fibre internet, the full traditional cable TV package, as well as Crave streaming (which is

Starlink has been very clear that it won't scale for most urban areas.

The US senate is 2 senators per state. The smaller states are mostly rural conservative issues. The senators that confirmed the three trump justices represent 43% of the population. It's not that easy.

I'm an Apple music subscriber and I feel discovery is poor there, too. Back in the day iTunes genius was phenomenally good at recommending music. I spent a fortune in the iTunes music store. My guess is they let it stagnate becaus

There are various games that have an apple arcade version as well as an ad supported or separate paid app. It's stupidly confusing.

Stillwater and the new Snoopy show are quite good Apple TV+ shows for kids. But otherwise, Apple TV+ has been very meh. We only have it because we have the big bundle for the icloud storage.

A digital camera doesn’t need a prism…anymore. When DSLRs first came to market two decades ago, they didn’t do video. Even if they did, the batteries at the time wouldn’t have held up for long shoots for weddings, sporting events, etc if

Indeed! I grew up with my Dutch grandparents in Canada and they had a print of the Night Watch at home. When I turned the corner of the Rijksmuseum and saw it, I thought it was a post of the museum wing it was in. It's HUGE!

As somebody that lives in the downtown of a large city (Toronto) I disagree, though it will obviously depend on the city. There is so much for kids to do. My kid has access to museums, an aquarium, several parks/playgrounds, childr

Where did I say everybody should be in something like nyc density? Even then, there are plenty of cities (especially outside America) where those safety concerns are virtually nonexistent. Also, the plenty of people get killed in cars.

You don’t lose any of that having neighbourhoods where you don’t need a car to pick up some milk. I don’t think we should ban private cars or anything, but when public schools have 3 lane car pickup lanes several blocks long there’s an iss

I live in Toronto. Ontario enacted those laws targeting IT professionals in the 1990s to attract "IT companies" by making things flexible for them. This was before the current acute tech shortage. As somebody who entered the te

I think on top of all that, the two largest demographic groups, millennials and boomers, are no longer working together as the latter start to retire en mass (that's already been accelerated as many took early retirement during the pan

The video game industry as a whole has been a notoriously bad place to work for techs for a long time. It is extremely deadline driven, technical decisions are often made by product managers (or worse, other business people), and on top of

Ruthlessness. Apple did the same thing when the iPhone first came out with the higher end capacitive touch screens. When it was released, all the competitors raced to catch up but found that the supply was gobbled up by apple for years.

I grew up south of Ottawa and remember this storm well. Ice 10cm thick on downed power lines and transmission towers. I lived in a rural town south of Ottawa (Winchester) and school buses would be cancelled on any rain that happened when

Indeed. If you look at any report/book/etc about the strategic production of war goods in WW2, you'll quickly realize that the Germans over-engineered most of their equipment. This resulted in fewer weapons and more mainten

This so much. When I first learned about how US copyright laws were extended (and then pushed on the rest of the world via trade deals, etc), my respect for IP rules plummeted. In college I had no qualms using Napster, and later bitorrent

Even if Atom itself is not dead the ecosystem is. The kick that finally got me onto VSCode was the stagnant plugin updates for things that were very important to me. I haven’t really looked back, except that Atom had better git support in i

Here in Canada, we're fond of reminding ourselves how Alexander Graham Bell was "Canadian". He was actually a Scottish immigrant, and while he did a lot of his early research and work here, it was when he moved to Boston to
