How does that article in any way compare in rigor to the most famous paper on the US housing crises?

That article literally gets supply and demand wrong...

Because there are numerous network effects* for specialized concentration of labor. *Network effects are unfortunately only understood as a handwavey buzzphrase in tech, but they have been researched and defined in extreme detail by economi

YES. Seeing an NBER paper on Hacker News of all places makes me want to cry tears of joy. That zoning and insane levels of regulation are absolutely the causes of the housing crises in the US is the mainstream consensus among economists. Fo

The graph is apparently derived from John Hennessy's latest textbook revision.

If there's sufficient interest, would like to write more about foundry in the future. It's an educational problem because almost no one writes about these things on the internet.

Well, the OS is most strictly the kernel, right? It's honestly all together. It's an SMP system that you can already run on normal ARM and x86 devices. The team has stated that everything in the kernel is true, and that there&#x27

Thanks. Yeah, they really could not be more transparent about that. Most of the bring-up is on mobile + PC silicon as well. There's no need to kill Chrome OS for the education, mind.

Thanks, but would sooner recommend my third article: https://techspecs.blog/blog/2017/3/15/fuchsias-hypervisor .

TL;DR - Google might run virtualized Android apps in containers on Fuchsia OS. There's no one repo to point to, but you can at least look at code review for the hypervisor: https://fuchsia-review.googlesource.com/q&#x2F

The Android API wouldn't be going anywhere. That's what I say in the article - Fuchsia would continue to support the Android API seamlessly.

by techenthusiast 10y ago
You wouldn't have to do it all at once. You'd emulate the Linux user space, and do everything incredibly gradually. Both APIs would be supported for many, many years. But they could stop advancing the Android API within a shorter

Extremely, extremely? :) Apple kept Carbon apps running on OS X for a very long time.

That's what I'm saying :) An (extremely) gradual phase-out of the Android API.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I updated the article to be more conservative about Rust's inclusion.

I updated the article with the following clarification at the top: I use Andromeda equivalently with Fuchsia in this article. Andromeda could refer to combining Android and Chrome OS in general, but it's all the same OS for phones, lap

I added an Update section for anyone wondering why it looks like Andromeda really is the same as Fuchsia.
