These are not returns for the Medallion fund which is what most people think of when Renaissance is invoked.

I doubt it. The core design team is a dozen people. There's nowhere to chase them to.

I am wrong, but I think my point still stands. Very few people ever use the mouse. It would probably be better ROI for them to refine the design of dongles or something.

There is no “team responsible for designing the mice.” There is one design team and they design everything.

I’m sure Trump announcing that he’s considering defaulting on the debt and the 10Y up to its yield from last Monday is all part of the plan too. Acting like investors won’t reprice treasures as “not the risk free rate” if it’s being transpa

By default, it comes with a trackpad.

by shuckles 2y ago
Because almost no Apple users use a mouse. How many iMacs does Apple sell relative to trackpad devices? It’d be a waste of R&D resources.

The 10Y is well above its September lows, even before accounting for whatever deficit increasing tax cuts the Republicans will come up with.

This is the dumbest theory I’ve heard so far.

Losing access to IDFA is the technical mitigation, but the ATT prompt also places policy obligations on developers. Preventing tracking technically entirely is a technical dead end. There are too many sources of entropy. ATT primarily opera

Apple does not share identifiable personal data with partners for the purpose of advertising, which is why its apps don’t ask for permission to track. Almost everyone arguing against Apple in these comments seems to misunderstand this, like

by shuckles 2y ago
Huh? Basically every sentence in your comment is wrong. Apps can link to other apps. There's an entire framework called Universal Links to support this. And Apple is the only platform maker that requires apps to ask for permission befo

The Double Irish arrangement is 45 years old and used by basically every multinational in Europe.

There is a big difference between targeting and tracking.

People will really come up with the flimsiest excuse for lying and think they’re acting with a deep sense of justice and retribution.

The company is not forcing you to interview for them. You can interview for a job that does not require you to solve a programming question, if that’s what you’d prefer. People who try to moralize their way out of lying are frankly despicab

Some people need to realize we live in a society and society mostly functions by having people do the right thing when defecting is easier and more convenient. This person is one of them.

At the moment precisely because Apple is protective of the user experience.

> Actually there are a lot of users asking for exactly this. Can you point me to evidence that Apple users want AirDrop protocol alternatives?
140.
by shuckles 2y ago
None of their users asked for this! It’s a list of demands come up by a small group of appointed bureaucrats. I can’t think of a single regular person who pines for AirDrop protocol alternatives. The loudest advocates for these changes are

Apple Watch was at least as much as a platform failure as Vision Pro, though much of the story for the latter is yet to be written. I think there have been many small, successful hardware products. It's just that they look like relativ

I’d rather Apple continue returning excess cash flow to investors than to waste it on boondoggle regulatory requirements cooked up by people without a clue (Seriously? AirDrop alternatives? Who is asking for this?) which also have unintende

Mostly it seems to me that the DMA is about Spotify being upset they don’t have an even bigger monopoly on music streaming and EU bureaucrats feeling annoyed that tech companies didn’t take them out to nice dinners in Brussels before releas

by shuckles 2y ago
Not only are they onerous, but also they are really random. What innovation is being held back by AirDrop being proprietary?
145.
by shuckles 2y ago
Maybe you don't understand the essence of what the DMA is about? There certainly seems to be a lot of wishcasting in these parts.

by shuckles 2y ago
This is really funny. Seriously? Sharing files _over a particular protocol_ is the scope of your monopoly? Going further: your claim isn't even true. Any app can write data to a bluetooth connection. So the monopoly is even narrower th

Put differently: what favorable, exclusive land leases did Apple negotiate from the European Union to gain its "monopoly" in the smartphone market? What multibillion dollar private/public partnership led to iPhone?

by shuckles 2y ago
It's very unlikely that's true. Why are there basically no such startups that are Android-only?

Not sure how it’s relevant that paying customers receive customer service.

How many users do you think call Apple everyday to complain about issues with their third party, knockoff AirPods lookalikes? Could you imagine why Apple could be protective of the user experience of their hardware and sensitive to that use
