Meanwhile in the real world we often find new deposits of gold, and if we ever make it to space presumably we’ll find a whole lot more of it (perhaps infinite amounts).

I paid Apple ~$80 to replace my Series 5 battery… they actually just exchange it with another device. I thought it was worth it and happy to keep using it until I can no longer get the latest watchOS.

I didn’t pull any stats but I’ve been working at Google for most of the last 10 years (in two stints). And actually I think even 10K is a very generous upper bound, really if I were betting money I’d peg it at like maybe 2000 engineers that

Your experience doesn’t invalidate the likeliness part of the parent comment. You just happen to be in the subset / cluster / areas that write in golang. Probabilistically speaking across the entire Google engineering population b

You might be, but as the parent said, it’s not likely . I think that’s a fair statement, out of 100K engineers or whatever it is, I’d estimate less than 10K of them are writing primarily golang code.

Firefox on iOS randomly changes the order of new bookmarks, adding new ones to either the top or the bottom of the list. I assume they're assuming ordering in some underlying platform data structure that doesn't support it? EDIT:

What does this mean? The App Store fees are paid by the developers / vendors. Are you saying they should pay less proportionate to the number of times their apps are downloaded to older devices?

That’s “how are they funded”, whereas I think the poster’s question of “how are they making money” is more about “what’s the business / profit model”?

I live near it now and can highly recommend a visit. I’m still surprised how many New Yorkers are unaware of this half of the Gateway area and the summer accessibility via the ferry.. though of course it’s plenty popular nonetheless.

You never hear about it because it’s mostly dead. Would love to hear a counter argument or evidence otherwise but my impression is there are very few successful openstack deployments out there and mostly it just is useful to provide some ne
