It’s one of the reasons a billion iOS devices have good battery life.

No they didn’t. Location services are a necessary part of being a phone. It’s called cell tower triangulation and your phone needs to do it constantly, or you can’t receive or send calls.

We are talking about background execution time. That’s something that is hidden from users, they put their phone in their pocket and two hours later their battery charge is substantially diminished. They don’t understand why or how to stop

I don’t see the authors point, battery life is important. A phone is not a Unix server or a desktop PC. This is the same reason iOS doesn’t allow apps to have arbitrary background execution time. And phones know your location virtually 100%

Estrangement can be a good thing. Sometimes you just have to accept that they aren’t good people, and they can’t change.

Nvidia isn’t likely to invest $40B and then do anything to damage ARMs licensing efforts. They are likely to look to find synergies so ARM can incorporate Nvidia technologies and Nvidia can better utilize ARM technologies.

There is no strategic fit for ARM at Apple. They have a perpetual license already and design their own chips. They don’t need the customer and antitrust headaches to pay over 10x revenues for the ARM licensing business.

8B at zero percent interest would only increase the return to about 6% compounded.

Giving $40B of Nvidia stock to a cash strapped seller hurts the stock price.

Well, looks like I’ve been hugely wrong on this all along. Seems like one of the biggest overpays in acquisition history, I can’t fathom how such a tiny company with such mediocre growth deserves such a massive premium.

When has any of this happened? How many did Fukushima kill? Meanwhile fossil fuels kill millions every year and are slowly changing the habitability of the entire globe. I like the idea that somehow a civilization thousands of years in the

I write code like this all day long and the way you phrase the question might have stumped me. First, I would feel like if I have to ask questions if you then I’m missing something obvious you want me to be able to deduce. And if I take too

They should have more responsibility and be held accountable. When managers have narrow authority and are not honestly measured its a bad scene man.

On its face it’s clearly harder, just because now you need three parties to sign a new loan agreement. It could be made much easier if the loan is assignable under same terms, especially if parts of the loan are assignable for proportionate

The US Military already has those tools and already does produce weapons in secret. What does that have to do with building high power to mass nuclear plants for space applications?

No, controls would be trivial to evade. Let’s say I have a billion dollars worth of Tesla stock that I’ve owned for a decade, giving me twice as much votes as normal. You want to increase your voting power, and are willing to pay $1.5B for

Who would buy $90B of Amazon shares at market price? The Chinese CCP? I’d actually like see how they would run Amazon. I’m guessing we might complain even more about their data collection processes.

We normally try to tax income or consumption for a reason, because taxing capital is incredibly damaging. And we could seize all of Bezos net worth, and it would only cover a few weeks of federal spending. Of course we could push it closer
