You would have to have been hiding under an extremely large rock not to assume this given the technology involved and Meta's overtly and consistently anti-privacy stances and history.

Blaming oil companies for the extremely well documented history of suppression of research and action into the impact of climate change is not childish.

All the more reason to hope that company crashes and burns.

The patrons are doing an excellent job of adding to the 'more difficult' list.

Decades to centuries of phenomenal, thoughtful, unique, creative kids stories that can be curated to introduce whole worlds of ideas. And you want to replace it with cookie-cutter AI slop and give them the world's worst case of Main Ch

This is a lagging indicator, it is still one of the top no question, but the point is that is shifting materially.

They're to migrating to America any more either, that's the point. So no, the US has no advantage, on current trajectory it'll increasingly only have 'native' talent and some of that may choose to move elsewhere.

Not just lack of ambition, lack of vision or taste. Liquid Glass is a step back in almost every way, that it got out the door is an indictment of the entire leadership chain.

iPhones, particularly with the advanced security/hardening turned on are light years in front of Android devices for protection against advanced/sophisticated actors. Which is why VIPs use iPhones. Apple responded to Pegasus with

Parity? Their EVs are streets ahead, doubly so for the price.

What.cd was the Library of Alexandria for recorded music, the depth of what was collated and properly labelled there was far beyond anything that has ever existed on any other service, paid for or not. Every permutation of every release, en

We are in a situation where it's a choice between unchecked corporate/oligarchic power or government power, at least the latter is nominally accountable in a democracy.

$1000/person is reasonable? You could literally have a secretary/admin spend _multiple days per year per person_ managing things for that much. The software administrative complex is completely mad.

What do you think the consultants are doing? They're mostly last year's graduates anyway.

So now 'professional management' bring in these firms and instead run hundreds of millions over budget to create brittle, bespoke software. It's profoundly damning on our industry that decades of software development later mo

Countries understood in the age of TV/newspapers that control of the media was a sovereignty issue. Any nation that wishes to remain truly sovereign, particularly in the English-speaking world is going to have to grasp the nettle and b

Workday, Palantir, ServiceNow - a new generation of Accenture/Oracle et al 'consulting' parasites that wine and dine their way into organisations (and governments) and then bleed them dry. There's a reason software spend

I get the impression the innovation drivers at OpenAI have all moved on and the people that have moved in were the ones chasing the money, the rest is history.

The real secret sauce is that Valve is private and doesn't have external investors. As soon as you're owners are primarily interested in short term capital extraction everything else is inevitable.

This is a bizarrely negative take. No residential is being charged negative prices without very, very explicitly joining a plan that exposes them to the direct minute-by-minute wholesale price. Most 'EV' plans include free hours d

At least recently[1] most Australians and an overwhelming percentage of under-16s supported the ban. Similarly in the UK[2]. This is a topic in which it appears it is the online discourse that's wildly out of alignment with broader pub

What do you think happens if the exchange rate moves between the point of handover and the point in the future where the trade is unwound?

There aren't a lot of counterparties to a $350Bn currency swap. SK is manoeuvring to make the Fed offering the swap and thus taking the FX risk as a requirement for this deal, which is I suspect why you're reading about this.

Impressive but also impressive in that scrolling down through the examples makes my fully-loaded M4-Max Macbook Pro judder. I hate to imaging the performance of a full UI leveraging this stuff. Apple can do it in the UI because they can opt

This is entirely on brand with the Australian startup scene, absolutely lousy with hangers-on, cosplayers and washed-out bankers & consultants that have never built a thing. There's a lot of seriously talented engineers trying to b

I couldn't disagree more. Outside of exotic scenarios where things like formal proofing are possible and economically viable I've never seen a process that prevents bugs, only culture. Good engineering cultures are also often ones

The point is if the problem is the same in both you need to re-examine the pros and cons. Given the other issues in America and other advantages in China it's no longer a simple equation.

Does anyone know how widely FoundationDB is now being used at Apple? I know they run a huge Cassandra cluster, does this serve a different use case?

Strongly agree, this feels very close to gee-shucks-weren't-things-better-in-the-olden-days regressive history-revisionist trad content.

I don't buy this. Real small business have enough problems that trying to vibe code a Xero replacement isn't really high on the todo list.
