Why wouldn't you think the EU would let that slide? Until recently all they've done is fine these companies amounts of money that are nice for headlines but not really that painful. Regulators with teeth is - new for apple

Good Lord how the hell was this study published? Given the obvious conflicts of interest, selection bias inhering to using a baby formula company listserv, and the lack of any sort of rigor in the methodology in the main paper, I was hoping

Not really. The equation is just saying "based off these assumptions here is the best price" and you would make money if your assumptions differ from market assumptions in a favorable direction. Arbitrage is the closest to exploit

Yep. You can make money off of using options as a way of betting on what the volatility measure itself will be. If you think the historical standard deviation is lower than what it will be because of some new change to the company or the wo

So OCI inc, the for profit, creates OCF, the nonprofit. The nonprofit isn't viable because the "business model is not sustainable with the number of complex services we have offered and the fees we pay to the Open Collective Inc.

Didn't think our boy karl marx would be relevant here lol but yeah that's a very commodity-fetishistic way to look at the value of AI/assumes that the value of the generative models is that they generate output that has some

And apple successfully got wearable health monitoring in their watch to be a thing and got 510(k) clearance as a class 2 medical device etc. They're already big players in health even if not marketed that way.

I don't think an apple that works by stack ranking existing high capex low margin markets and ruthlessly focusing on revenue growth is an apple that's not gonna fade. That sounds more like Amazon's vibe. Creating trillion dol

Embedding a key might help technologically distinguish a small subset of the videos we're worried about but 1) ok so then what, you still need the regulations that make impersonation not allowed which is what these are 2) what about un

Software does infinitely more now than before and there's way more of it - is there some specific aspects of it you think is going downhill or you're asking about? You could always point to examples like Google search quality subj

Right- and they probably do, and they don't know it was us just like cloudflare doesn't know what country it was. For all we know that cloudflare attack was the US. I don't know why China/Russia/Iran/nk would b

Dude you're replying to a comment that's replying to a comment with a source for what you're asking. I'm not sure why you want it to be the case that the US' cyber warfare capabilities are worse than competing natio

If the usa does I don't understand why you expect we'd know about it. Also the us totally does and we do know about it - the nsa buys zero days - it's not exactly a secret lol

Yeah (though apparently the wifi support was good idk) and honestly from the reviewers perspective - I think they'd be doing their jobs wrong if they were 'right' about the iphone. What were they supposed to say/forecast

An addendum - I'm surprised at how spot on so many of these iPhone 1 reviews are outside of the not getting the browser thing (and even there folks complaining about how web2.0 is taking off and there's no js/java/flash

I checked a couple of those old reviews and a couple things that seemed to be a common take with the iPhone that definitely aren't holding now: - incredible amounts of hype - loving the design - loving the touchscreen and input (direct

Yep that was what I was referring to with shortages and exhaustion - not great with the recent revelations of the near misses. It's a warning that if the work to maintain those safety numbers isn't done we can't expect them t

Airlines aren't safe just because. Weakening FAA regulation, critical issues with flight controller shortages/exhaustion, culture changes at Boeing related to safety, etc all threaten to undo that safety record. The system is not

Given that the last Carta scandal their response was to amplify their owns candal by sending everyone a link to their weird ranty medium article about how the mainstream media is bad, I will give them credit for at the least not responding

Weird how instinctively zero sum some folks are - as of Microsoft stock doing well means Microsoft is 'winning' while apple is 'losing.' Apple stock is up about 40 percent over the last year they're doing fine

Their stock is up almost 40 percent over the last year, they've got a 2.8 trillion dollar market cap, 380 billion in revenue. They're doing fine and overreacting to wall street analysts is more likely to cause issues than continui

We won't need as many of them but the ones we use will be almost constantly on the road, 20 cars on the road all the time is more traffic than 100 cars on the road 10% of the time and in people's garages the rest of the time

If you're building a new city just do public transit instead of all this inefficient nonsense. Either way it's not a naturally growing city so if you're going to plan one plan one that makes sense

It's interesting to simultaneously see takes complaining about fragmentation and apple having monopoly power in this thread. In sympathetic to the fragmentation take honestly, apple doesn't stop you from installing Whatsapp, but i
