There are 70 million active MacOS users, and closing in on a billion iOS users. MacOS and the hardware that runs it is an afterthought for Apple, they just want to keep it somewhat alive. Redeveloping for a new ISA was feasible when it was

Ethics reduce profit, thus they are ignored when there is no regulator or law enforcing them.

He had a gathering on private property in a mall, where 100 people showed up and listened to a Hong King Activist talk for 2 hours. Sounds quite like a conference IMO. The right to free assembly isn't a thing in Singapore apparently.

A war criminal with a private army at his disposal and links to the highest levels of the US Government is attempting to raise $500 million? What could go wrong!

The "dynamics" of SoCal are atrocious, you get the privelege of wasting your life away in traffic to do the simplest things. Public transit is a bad joke too, the light rail in LA waits for cars to pass at intersections! I've

Living in LA on $10hr as a contractor (below state minimum wage) is only possible by corporations breaking the law. They are stealing from the worker, to the tune of at least $2/hr in this case as minimum wage in LA County is $12/

I think much of this technophobia is limited to Germany, same with the banning of neo-Nazis.

Nevermind that bikes and trams are significantly cheaper, and with the way the infrastructure is designed in many places (plus existing traffic), other modes of transit besides cars can be competitive or significantly faster than driving.

Electric bikes can be quite enjoyable to ride, the Bafang BBSHD can make it a breeze to go up even steep hills here in Seattle at a swift clip. The downsides come in the form of risk in transit (your in the weather, and have minimal to mode

Why would Amazon put that much effort into this? Amazon doesn't particularly have much of a marketshare in videogame sales, unlike say Google Play, Steam and others. Smells like a me too offering from Amazon...

Its really easy to end up with a shrinking taxable revenue base like the Universal Service Fund currently has, causing the tax rate to support lifeline services like what you seek to creep up to impressively high rates: http://ww

So basically a $10k monthly commit is required to train a custom model? Would it be possible to pay for the training itself if you are a lower volume user?

Baidu trained their DeepSpeech model with 6000 hours of English to get a model similarly accurate to Google/Microsoft, it may just be the type of quick model your using that needs 10k hours to achieve good results. Mozilla's DeepS

Putting power down each linw costs money, ditto for maintaining cabling to each home. Setting an expectation of free 911 service is fine in the cellular world where its a minor nusiance to support, but in the context of a rapidly shrinking

Charisma and a vision of a better future within reach is a great tool for rallying the masses, even if you have skeletons in your closet. MLK was hated by most Americans when he was alive, but looking at past presidents, its totally possibl

Nope, its been years since I last used a friend's Owncloud server. Has it improved?

Have you tried Nextcloud? Its slick right up until you get a few users that actually use all the core apps (contact syncing, automatic uploads, calendars, etc), then rendering the PHP login page jumps to taking 20 seconds of maxing out all

Why would I use this rather than Snips? Edge computing is great, but in a closed source, hard to audit form it will be a tough sell to get 3rd party developers onboard.

No, just those that literally pay to get citizenship. Vinod didn't marry an American, but instead was awarded his citizenship based on his wealth. I'm supportive of loosening the immigration and naturalization laws, but we shouldn

Pretty much, he is a classic self deluded captain of industry who has gotten rich off the backs of us commoners. Worse yet, he has bought his way to citizenship and has attempted to steal a public beach, blatantly breaking public access law

I asked you for citations for your claims, yet instead I get diversion... Wrt having a usable browser, I'm literally using Firefox for Android to talk to you right now. Firefox has been a usable browser for years, seems your salty tho.

Open source isn't a solution to the problem you bring up, proper maintenance processes are. A great example of this is the Debian package archive, with 51,000 packages in the archive, you know each package has a maintainer that has vet

AMD's strategy of using multiple Zen 2 dies (7nm) tied together by a 14nm I/O die (since I/O doesn't scale down quite as well) is a really interesting strategy to improve yields using smaller dies (rather than making hug

Yes, I have had it start mis-rendering with content being partially covered, killing and reopening Firefox fixes it. Firefox for Android needs work, but the add-ons make it a good experience.

This assumes that Google's CDN is providing a significant advantage in connectivity, when in actuality you'll often have more available bandwidth between say OVH and your ISP at peak times, as compared to relying on Google's
