It allows people with half the available money to do what others could do before. That's more than twice as many people. It allows you to move freight really fast at half the cost. That's a lot of things that can move around the w

iPhone 1 launched at 649 Euros in France in 2007 money, or about 980 Euros today. Given inflation and the increased utility of the smartphone, we're almost certainly at the lowest cost per hour of use ever for most people.

The disagreement here seems to be a confusion between the pure model behavior and the behavior that users experience, which is the model wrapped in a harness. It’s normal and natural now to refer to the whole system as ‘the model’ informall

Apart from the ports, that’s roughly the AppleTV hardware. A macOS or Linux port to that would be a cute thin client. Not gonna happen, but cute.

Going for one rep max is intense. If it weren't, you could get a better max.

If I sell a novel to Simon & Shuster, and assign the copyright to them as part of the deal, I can't sell the same novel to HarperCollins under the same terms. I can't sell my movie to Disney AND Sony. This is the same, but the

Postgres etc are more complex than Redis, are they not? Does your argument assume you already have a database, so you might as well use it for your cache mechanism?

Both timestamps are useful in different ways. The early-as-possible hardware stamp is best for reasoning about causality, while the later-and-full-o-jitter middleware stamps are good for compensating for that inevitable jitter. Time is one
