It would be cheaper if you had your own data center already or an office space sufficiently large to store these Mac Mini's. But if you have neither and are operating out of say AWS, then it becomes more expensive to rent space to put

Silicon Valley, at least the bigger companies, already do that. Most people are not native to the area. Almost everyone I know in the bay area moved there for work.

FANG was just a term coined by Jim Cramer for high growth tech stocks. Apple wasn't included at that point. People have re-purposed it to mean big tech companies that pay a lot and modified the acronym.

Probably because of FANG association. FANG = Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google

Maybe they could take like 5-10% of the slots and just auction them off.

One can argue that almost nothing is a new product then. Everything is build upon previous work. The iPod wasn't the first MP3 player but it was the best one out there and it changed the entirely industry. The same can be said about th

There are downsides to team specific interviewing. You can have situations where the team is desperate to hire someone and so they subconsciously lower their bar. It also leads to a less standardized interview process and introduces more bi

Your comment makes it sound it sound like Apple is breaking the law. Epic could have brought on this lawsuit while still complying with the App Store rules, in fact the judge suggested they do that so their users aren't impacted. They

Isn't this how all of the "Sign in with X" work? It's the same with facebook and google also where you go through the same OAuth flow where it asks if you want to give this third party access to your data.

Not true, they didn't have any special research access. There was an app called "This is your digital life" that was just a personality quiz that they used to scrape data. At this point facebook would let you access data abou

Depends on the car. Model 3 is rated for around 250 Wh/mile in the US. For the UK on the WLTP cycle it's rated for a range of 348 miles, and is actually better than 245 Wh/mile, but I don't think WLTP is realistic so let

That's how any criminal case goes also. A government attorney (prosecutor) is arguing on behalf of the government to a judge that also works for the government, and yet prosecutors lose all the time. The US has independent branches of

They both have very similar policies. Why do you think Epic took Fortnite off of the Play store in the first place?

You get ad-less viewing on the one channel you use your Twitch Prime subscription on. It is also a decent benefit in that you can basically contribute a small amount of money to your favorite streamer also. If you were already going to pay

Amazon has been paying Jeff Bezos the same $81,840 salary since 1998. On file it says he gets about $1.6 million per year, but that's mostly security costs. He doesn't get any bonuses and he doesn't get any more equity. So no

> the president that decided to go to war was voted in by the majority of the population. Not actually true since Bush lost the popular vote in the 2000 election.

It's very slightly worse since it sits higher up and is heavier. But it's not like it's bad. And most people aren't buying the car to take it on a track. The larger size and higher seating position likely greatly outweig

What about Microsoft bundling OneDrive? Or One Note? Should they be forced to remove those too? I don't understand how Microsoft is in the wrong here. This isn't like them bundling it into Windows. O365 is a paid product and users

Thinner, lighter and overall smaller footprint also have noticeable environmental impact. You have to ship these products and at millions of devices these things add up. The battery is also replaceable by Apple. People also recycle their co

One of the early stated goals of OpenAI was to advance AI but do so safely. Can you imagine if scammers and "bad actors" got access to GPT-3? You could create such sophisticated and targeted scams. Things could get extremely ugly

You'd think they would just pay for their own droplet in that scenario. Digital Ocean runs promo's all the time with free credits too.

This is exactly the same for Android though. Both Google Play and Apple App store charge 30%. And they both also drop the 30% to 15% for subscriptions after 1 yr. It's estimated Apple did about $50 billion in App Store revenue in 2019,

There's still a huge difference in TDP. The iPad probably has a TDP of maybe 10 watts? The Mac Mini Intel CPU's have 65 watt TDP's. They can deliver more power and cooling to the 12Z than in an iPad and it should result in mu

This isn't actually true in practice though. Most of the cloud providers have quota's on accounts and actually won't let you provision that many resources without getting the quota's increased, which you are unlikely to

You make it sound like this is some big secret. It's not like Facebook exclusively hires from people in the area only. Facebook and nearly every company regularly hire people from outside the area. Most developers in the bay area are f
