How is that disrespecting privacy? The billboard (so far) is not doing facial or license identification and recording that I drove by the sign at 2:23 on Monday at 63 mph.
Today's price and the 'expected' future price is all that matters. The 90% lifetime price history is not relevant. All transactions of this nature are based on future value. The offer is only an 18% premium at a time when many tech stocks are being hammered due to extrinsic reasons. It is not a serious offer.
Hmm, not sure I understand what you are saying here. If Elon gets a loan using his Tesla stock as a guarantee, the risk is solely his. If he puts together a consortium to do the purchase, then that group is taking the risk. It doesn't matter though, given the Twitter bylaws, if the Board doesn't want it to happen it won't happen.
Even then, the Twitter board has staggered terms, so it is impossible to do a wholesale replacement of the board and thereby gain control of Twitter. The board voted unanimously to invoke the poison pill provisions in the bylaws so it isn't a matter of swaying a small number of board members.
>Everyone currently holding $TWTR believes that the true value is greater than the current price.
I don't see how this is relevant. All stockholders of any non-dividend paying company believe the price of the stock will go up. Takeovers with relatively low premiums happen all the time. That being said, Musk is definitely bargain hunting. I think the bid shows he isn't that serious and has no idea how to answer the fundamental monetization questions.
Yes, I agree. That's why I pointed out that it was specifically US market share. I just found those quickly. The percentages are lower in other regions, but the total numbers are still huge.
Curious, where does the 0.1% come from? Apple Mac US market share is over 14% and iPhone market share is over 50%. I get that you are just being a bit hyperbolic, but if a low-level lib ignores the Apple Silicon GPU hardware they are ignoring a sizable market segment.
Thank you. Fair enough, there may be an interesting discussion lurking here somewhere about GPU architectures and rendering modes. However, Apple has been using this approach since the A11, so it is not new information. The OP assertion that Apple helped the WOW devs is probably also specious, since the app may have already been optimized (or close to it) for the architecture if they had been following Apple's GPU/Metal programming advice for the last few years. Caches always have limits and abusing those limits often has punitive results.
Click bait. It is not a "design limitation," it is a different design choice. Of course highly performant code needs to be aware of the selected architecture. Nothing to see here.
Windows 3.0 came out in 90, and 3.1 came out in 92. There was very little adoption of the earlier versions, and even 3.0 adoption was sparse. 95 came out in, well, 95. People kept computers longer and upgraded much less back then. The previous post was not ridiculous.
>Nobody sees nuclear as a viable path forward except the nuclear industry.
This is provably false on many fronts. There is a growing recognition that nuclear is the only low carbon source that can produce substantial carbon-free power in all weather conditions and all latitudes.
"There were over 50 additional nuclear reactors under construction in 2020, and hundreds more are planned primarily in Asia."
I learned Fortran with punch cards and a teletype. We would hand a program deck (a stack of cards) to the machine operator and in a few minutes our printed output and the program deck would appear in an alphabetized set of bins. The physical stack of cards was the only storage medium for the code.
Check your debug output, modify (or insert) a few cards and repeat.
Don't forget the JCL (job control language) on the first card. That is how you tell the mainframe what resources your code needs and how to run it. If you get that wrong nothing happens.
We were taught to draw a diagonal line across the top edge of the deck of cards so you could quickly put the deck back together correctly if it was dropped.
Yes, the article shows a Geekbench win of 3% in single core performance. It fails to detail the enormous power consumption penalty Intel is paying to get that performance. That makes a huge difference in laptop usability.
> 3. One of the biggest things to help me was realizing that no one actually cares what I’m saying or how I come across...
Reminds me of a saying: In your 20s you worry what people are thinking about you. In your 30s you don't care what people think. In your 40s you realize that no one is (or was) thinking about you.
If it could be closed right away, wouldn't you do that before you print it out? Perhaps I'm a luddite, but wouldn't typing the ticket number into a box almost certainly be faster than getting your phone out, turning it on and scanning the code?
No. Why would you think that? It goes against everything they have stated and the designs of the software. They are heavily focused on keeping all of that on device.
I used MAE on HP/UX for many years. Worked great. We were workstation based designers and couldn't stand Windows so this allowed us to stay on the workstation and still have access to corporate tools like Office. Had mh wired to pop up the appropriate Office app from MAE when those email attachments arrived.
First, yes I agree that nuclear waste is an important issue that should be getting more attention than it does. However, this should not be thought of as a 10,000 or more year problem. Think back on the incredible expansion of knowledge in the last 100 years. Do we really believe that in another 100 years or so we won't have a way to safely reprocess this waste? This is a one or two hundred year problem at most. Can we not safely store two or three warehouses of material for 100 years? Thinking of this as a ten or fifty thousand year problem expresses a tremendous pessimism in the human ability to innovate.
Average flu deaths in the U.S. for the last decade are about 35,000 per year. In the U.S., even with vaccines and Omicron, we still had over 70,000 covid deaths in the last 30 days. Given that a typical flu season is 4 to 6 months long, I would say even the last month Covid has been much worse than a typical flu season. So, a covid outbreak in a fallout shelter would still be very difficult in that environment. There will be many older and otherwise immune-compromised people in a crowded shelter who are susceptible to a still highly contagious virus. It is completely reasonable to at least attempt to be cautious in the short term.
By the way, "everyone" is not vaccinated. Only 65% of Americans are fully immunized at this point. I'm not saying Covid is the threat it was a year ago, but some prudence is still reasonable.
If they have an expectation of me spending time to maintain, cleanup, and update their devices, yes I would like to have some say in minimizing the problems they can create.
The monitor has three USB-C ports on the back. I have a couple of tiny USB-C to USB-A adapters in my backpack. No dongle, just an adapter that connects between the A cable and the C port. However, I am using the adapters less and less. I only bought USB-C peripherals for the last 2-3 years.
Sorry, you lost me there. It was a bit of an annoyance at first, but I am all-in on the USB-A to USB-C/DP/Thunderbolt/PD unified port transition. I plug in my laptop to a Thunderbolt 5K monitor and also get power for the laptop as well as a bridge to USB devices plugged into the monitor hub. I have zero interest in going back to USB-A.
Senior developers are the ones who understand the code AND the business. One of their jobs is to keep managers from making stupid decisions that would harm the business. In many orgs, managers did NOT come from the ranks of senior developers.
>Do you really expect to get any portion of your money back if you cancel?
Yes I do. I stop using their app and service so I expect to stop paying for their app and service. I have cancelled several annual subscriptions from other vendors and they all refunded the prorated balance. Sometimes there was a small cancellation fee, but in all cases I received the vast majority of the balance.
Your analogy is flawed. In your example, I still have the thing so of course I have to fully pay for it. In the software case, the company can turn off the license and I no longer have it available to me. Refusing to turn it off is just bad customer relations policy. When you do rude crap like that you get (deservedly) written up on HN and other sites. Plus, you eliminate the possibility of a future customer relationship. It is just ugly and stupid on their part.
