Why is the assumption that it's a bug?

If your index is large, it spins up all cores, because it's parallelized in recent versions.

You know, doing what it's supposed to do.

That's not what Apple is doing here, the rules are: 1) don't portray our fees in a negative light if you want to do business with us, 2) don't actively try to subvert us in our own garden where you are a guest.

Where is the monopoly here?

The service Apple has, is appealing to customers because they're aggressively protecting what is important to them, and using their fees to ensure they've got the resources to actually vet software, prevent abuses of customers, and make payment seamless.

If you don't like that, you're free to find software in many other forms.

But you don't want that, you want to have someone provide you all that, but without having to you know, pay for it.

Which is why the internet is an ad supported shit hole, and this is one place that is actually pretty great for customer experience.

Yeah, spotlight doesn't know it's definitely being used as a calculator.

That 800% cpu is spotlight searching everything in its index for '1+2', just like it is supposed to.

Hotel bills are broken out like that because the tax system allows many write-offs and reimbursements of many of those fees. They're broken down because they often go to different parts of the local, state and federal governments, and it's important that those seeking write off or reimbursement know who they need to claim those against.

Interestingly, many large companies use services for this kind of thing, much like Apples walled garden, where their employees can spend without worrying about tracking all these details, and the service takes care of all the (significant) legal wrangling and deal negotiation to make this simple.

That's essentially what Apple does for their money: makes it possible for users to buy things across a host of jurisdictions from an ecosystem of vendors, without risking their device security or payment security. There is a significant amount of legal and infrastructural wrangling involved, most of which the end customer, and many of the vendors don't fully understand.

But yeah, let us focus on the least important part: price.

If you didn't want to be made fun of, you should have made a better argument.

It's not a black and white freedom vs authoritarianism, it turns out that society works a lot better when people aren't needlessly contrary about things they don't understand.

Which is why the American morons can't imagine that Chinas numbers are real, because they can't imagine the Chinese people aren't festering shitbags shouting "FEREEEDOMZ" at every opportunity.

Chinas numbers, and numbers in many other places show the AWESOME POWER OF DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AS A GROUP.

There is one freedom that is sorely lacking in America, it's the freedom to act as a whole for the good of your countrymen. You literally can't do it. It's illegal in half the country, and you risk being shot in an altercation with an armed moron if you're conspicuously not being a festering cunt.

Why don't you fight for that freedom?

I think you're missing the signed agreements by all parties involved not to do the thing that the farmer is angry about.

You're just going to ignore contract law because lots of people wanted the thing, but not to do what they agreed?

Yeah, it would be the end of it.

This kind of thing didn't exist before because it was impossible to make people follow the rules, and it's pretty costly to maintain, given that Apple has to vet all the software, host all the content, and do that across hundreds of jurisdictions with various local rules.

Before Apple there was no way any of this could happen, Google followed suit only because it looked so profitable, and they could afford to bite the losses for as long as it took to prop up their smartphone.

So, yeah, it would shake the industry to the core, just not the way most of the people begging for it think it would.

Yeah, it's really unfair that the farmer got so angry when I was banging his daughter while staying at his house.

I don't think I should have to listen to the farmers rules when he's got such a sweet daughter there.

Yeah, I love the fact that Karen can decide to kill my friends and family with negligence.

Yay freedom.

I wouldn't.

Your first line is bristling with defense, you're not going to believe anything else even if the truth was laid out in front of you.

I think the take home message is: Police had a way to intercept these communications, but they managed to have that information leaked before they could finish their operation, only managing success because it was already too late for most of the participants.

Sort of illustrates the futility of giving the police keys to access communications, when the number of times they pull this off without a leak is near zero.

So, what you're saying doesn't really matter does it?

If you add another boycott participant, it's growing.

The headline is completely factual, and you're too busy missing the point because you're bringing assumptions to the table.

Yes, that's EXACTLY the same as controlling an officers paycheck. Thank you for pointing out how right you are.

So, you understand that there are hundreds of thousands of people who have good paying jobs, who wait decades to become citizens right?

That whole time they're paying taxes like a citizen, but without most of the rights and benefits, and no representation.

So, there's a whole pile of people that your government is effectively disenfranchising, and harassing with this kind of activity. And it's disproportionally towards folks who have brown skin.

Oh wait, it's racism, and this is working as intended.

You know that Apple is going to be making the GPU with the same technology as the CPU right?

And those accelerators don't need to be discrete, Apple can add them to their CPUs.

So, it looks like your point is: Sure, Apple is going to jump a couple process nodes from where Intel is, but everything is somehow going to remain the same?

They sell you a second of performance on a system. There's a fair bit of variation in systems even in the same tier, but you're going to pay the same price.

And low bin chips are still going to be more power efficient than the previous generation.

But institutions have the ability to enforce behavior in that group.

If these people were really "just bad apples", this wouldn't be a problem anymore, as there have been literal decades to solve this.

See how that's different from a group defined by things you cannot control, like skin color?

I can't blame one person of a certain hue for the actions of a person of that same hue, because they don't share anything in common other than the hue.

Whereas police departments are 100% accountable for the actions of their members.

Today you learned, huh?

So, make those folks who are good enough to work and pay taxes in the US into citizens?

No longer a problem, unless the problem was really that they're not "american" enough all along?

Why would they need to sell them to anyone?

They'd just run their internal clusters with the high binned parts, and the low binned parts would go into their AWS budget tiers.

Tada! Now they've got the best, and unloaded the rest onto suckers while billing them for the privilege.

I think it's unfortunate that reddit chose the term moderator, because it implies an impartiality that you're not going to get from what is effectively the "owner" of a community.

These are just folks who either showed up early, or demonstrated they thought about the issue the same way as the person who started the reddit thought.

So, as long as you're willing to commit fraud, you can commit fraud?

How is fraud a problem with the visa or the visa holder?

How is that possible, given that these people are paid above the prevailing wage?

That's literally one of the requirements for the Visa, the minimum has been repeatedly raised to address this problem.

So? Want to explain that to me?

That's funny, because my visa had issues because I was "too highly paid for the job".

But then they decided they could add a machine learning tag to it, and it was fine.

No, the only party I feel exploited by is the US Government, who holds my ability to come and go, and change jobs easily hostage.

Oh, and I have to pay taxes to a government that actively torments me with ever changing requirements and absurdity.

And I don't get to vote or own property on my current Visa.

This is why I push for the opening of offices outside the US in every company I work in.

What makes you think people aren't looking at turbulence?

The difference is that you don't need a partnership of a dozen large governments to swirl things in a coffee cup, but you do if you want to expand on the previous generation of collider.

It's because saying you're anti-anti-fascist would make you sound like an asshole.

This lets them pretend they're talking about something different, but all the dogs hear the whistle.

No, you don't understand science.

Science can define what a sweet taste is, by assigning it to a set of measurements that define the boundaries of sweetness, as a technical term.

Is that sweetness to you? Nobody cares. It's a technical term that you need to accept to participate in the conversation productively.

Science might tell me that on average, most people prefer beer to wine.

That doesn't mean I preach to someone that they shouldn't be drinking wine because beer is superior.

Yes, that's why the US has the most absurd cell phone network even while I sit in Silicon Valley, but I don't have reception in a half dozen places during my commute, or in my home.

Why I pay absurd amounts more for my healthcare, even when I can choose between several different insurance companies.

That's why my power in a massive center in California is completely unreliable here, I've experienced more power failures in the past year in a major city than I did in 30 years in the middle of fucking nowhere Canada.

Because competition makes it work.

Google is a search engine company that gives better results because it has more opportunities to improve the product with each request it sees.

Advertising is the same way: The more opportunities you have to try matching a person with a thing they might like, the more you'll learn.

Google is on a scale that are likely two orders of magnitude more than their closest competitor.

Hilariously, Google is by far the best at mapping local people with local businesses, as they've mapped most commercial centers, and run heavy machine learning across them to extract information their competitors can't even hope to try for another decade.
