The schools are not nearly as good as they should be for the income in the areas they're in. You would think that in an area where the average home is over $1 million every school would be a 10/10, but it's far from that.

Apple was involved in the founding of ARM, but their licensing isn't special. Many companies, including Samsung, have ARM architecture licenses which allow them to use the ARM instruction set with whatever custom design they want. htt

Tesla has done a decent job of mitigating some of the chip shortages since they are so vertically integrated. Though obviously Tesla produces way less cars than Toyota/Honda/VW. But other manufacturers simply can't do this ev

Even if they spun off the most likely scenario is that YouTube would just create their own ad infrastructure just like every other major tech company. They're not going to give away some of their margins, especially at that scale. Righ

Look at the Apple A12x. They disabled a GPU core in it for the iPad, and then in the A12z they enabled that core. This was likely to help with yields. Then with the M1 chips they decided to sell a 7 core version of the chip with the base le

Just speculation but perhaps the way the installers work makes it appear to Windows that the app was uninstalled first and then a new version is installed. If it looks like it was uninstalled then I can see why Windows might change the defa

I agree with the 50 mile PHEV. Before my fully electric car I had a Chevrolet Volt (not the crappy Bolt). It had a ~50 mile electric range (40-60 depending on weather), and then it just turned into a normal hybrid. It was a great car and I

Apple does ask you when you set your phone up if you want to share analytics or not. I consider that opt-in, since you're given the choice up front.

The point here is that this incident doesn’t show anything about autonomous cars, good or bad. This car was actually under a manual operators control at the time of the accident. Also Toyota’s tech is not reflective of everyone else’s tech,

Everyone says this but it’s not actually true in practice. Most of the other manufacturers systems are meant more as an emergency type feature rather than convenience. For example the Subaru system when it comes to a stop in traffic require

In the demo they said their ExaPOD is 3000 of these chips. They have 10 cabinets with 6 tiles each, each tile has 25 of these D1 chips in it. If they’re successful with this they’ll likely build out multiple of these clusters.

What Apple does is they make a new model or add a big feature to the latest model and drastically increase the price. You can see that with the iPhone X, the iPad Pro, and with the introduction of the retina macbook pro's, or even with
