This is just very straightforwardly incorrect. Last month I paid Ava Energy $26 for electric energy generation, and PG&E $99 for delivery. Cutting the generation cost to $0 would only reduce my bill by 20%. Ava Energy says that 70% of the power I used came from solar located within my city, so it's already located quite close to demand.
I have never gotten a response from Claude that is anything other than blandly polite, including with Fable, which makes me assume that anyone finding themself getting argumentative responses is doing something very weird.
Apple stock rises leading up to WWDC and then drops following the keynote every single year. People keep betting that this is the year that they're going to announce the next iPhone and the stock is going to 10x.
If you're getting fired for cause then it is not an amicable breakup and the norms for when you're trying to maintain a relationship obviously don't apply. Layoffs for any reason other than "the company is out of money and is shutting down tomorrow" which only pay two weeks severance would be unusually stingy.
That's a big part of why these things are stupid. There's a bunch of weird design decisions which shouldn't have anything to do with EVs but are a lot more common in EVs anyway.
Forcing people to pay property tax on an inflated valuation of their house or face eviction sounds like a terrible system, actually. If you offered to buy my house for a number that I agreed was a perfectly fair market value that I didn't expect to be able to beat on the open market, I would say no immediately. You'd have to offer something like 50% over what I'd expect to get for me to seriously consider the offer.
It is very common to have goods where the price a buyer is willing to pay is smaller than the price a seller is willing to accept, and in a free market that simply results in no transaction happening. Forcing the transaction to happen is always going to make at least one side of the deal unhappy.
The publishing process for Safari extensions is painful, but otherwise it's not meaningfully different from Chromium extensions and there's no good reason for it to work worse in Safari.
401ks and loans for houses are already things which have specific tax carveouts, so the idea that those would be exceptions even if secured loans in general were taxed doesn't seem like a particularly bold idea.
In a spoken Q&A setting opening every single response with "that's a great question" or "thanks for asking that" or whatever is pretty common as a way to fill a few seconds while you think about your response. This is obviously unnecessary on slack.
To some degree there simply isn't any plan you can have beyond that in the short term things will suck and hopefully the long term benefits will be worth it. If the existing incumbents are sufficiently ideologically opposed to your goals that they'll refuse to work rather than let you even inch towards them, there's not much you can do beyond try to replace them with people who don't have the relevant experience but are willing to work with you.
"Defund the police" didn't poll well so the progressive prosecutors who actually got elected were the ones who didn't admit that they were going to have to tear things down and start over (and maybe they didn't even realize it), but it was a very unsurprising outcome.
That isn't a rumor? It's a pretty well documented fact that the NSA was involved in the design of DES and that the magic numbers that people initially assumed were a back door of some sort turned out to make differential cryptanalysis more difficult than randomly chosen ones would have.
Some readers will expect Birthdate() to be equivalent to Birthdate(0, 0, 0), and naming it Birthdate::epoch() makes it clear that it is not that. I don't think it's worth it, but there is an upside.
Github is claiming that a usage spike in 2026 is the cause of availability issues in 2025, so their explanation is clearly incomplete at best. The usage spike may be why things have failed to get better despite them putting effort into improving things, but it isn't the root cause of problems.
I am fairly confident in saying that approximately zero enterprise customers used Xcode server. It was extremely limited and targeted at small shops which didn't see the need for a proper CI setup but had an extra machine sitting around to run builds on.
One of the benefits of it being some form of civil service and not specifically military service is that it eliminates large categories of medical exemptions from being relevant.
Yes. Apple's not going to come after you for running too many VMs on your personal machine, but if you're running a commercial enterprise involving macOS VMs they do care.
AI company marketing is pretty overwhelmingly "we're going to take away your job and leave to you starve on the streets". People concluding that the public face of this is their enemy who must be stopped is just a really unsurprising outcome.
> Apple Community #250867747: macOS Catalina — "New TCP connections can not establish." New connections enter SYN_SENT then immediately close. Existing connections unaffected. Only a reboot fixes it.
This is a weird thing to cite if it's a macOS 26 bug. I quite regularly go over 50 days of uptime without issues so it makes sense for it to be a new bug, and maybe they had different bugs in the past with similar symptoms.
As is noted in the article, selling band shirts was not yet common practice when the Ramones starting doing it. Until Napster came along tours were marketing for albums, which were the primary revenue source.
That specific Macbook Pro model is famously bad to the extent that people have tried to suggest Apple made that generation intentionally bad to make the m1 look more revolutionary. The Neo's still not going to be better performance when plugged in, but it's a more reasonable comparison than the stats suggests.
Are you saying that when you tell uv to install a package you aren't asking it to make outbound connections to download the package from PyPI? The telemetry in question is just setting an appropriate User-Agent header with only slightly more data than what browsers traditionally put there. It does not make extra network requests purely for the sake of reporting information.
