The M chips make for real bad developer experience when trying to support interoperability.

Lots of docker images and other virtualized software just can’t be emulated like it used to on them. We’re how many years in on this issue?

When most of your customers won’t be on a high priced Mac that’s a real issue and it forces businesses off the platform.

There’s a reason they stopped selling Photoshop in non-subscription when the pricing difference was something like this.

$699 vs $49/mo. Now maybe $20/mo since they no longer force bundling and have lower cost feature restricted versions.

The math was easy at the time because you’d break even in 2 years with the old price. Now it’d be like 4 but plenty of users were on CS2 for 6 or so.

Since 12x is your 1 year break even rate it’s not too unreasonable. Especially if you’re not upgrading it ever year.

Windows updates on older Eee PCs got/gets brutal a few years in. Mostly due to them needing to take up more and more hard drive space.

I remember there was a significant security update a few years back that would just constantly retry on Eee PCs because it needed like 20Gb of storage it would basically never get. Made it essentially unusable.

They pretty much already had the "Python 3" issue with PHP 6, the unicode PHP

They've been doing that since 5.2

The primary beneficiaries of this are basically Netflix and Google, no?

My understanding is most of these policies have always been targeted at the large streaming services that are putting the most burden on the networks and who often already have special interconnect agreements.

The claims that these policies would be aimed at small businesses seem largely to have not been realistic.

The whole situation with lying about what you’re ad spend is getting you seems like a much bigger small internet business issue.

What's the phrase? You'll own nothing and be happy.

Things of possible note:

* This is a survey published in 2018 with (survey) data gathered in two months of 2016

* mobility data comes from a different source for each country and they vary wildly in the period covered. Notable Italy and US data is post 2008 and the others pre 2008. Looks like there’s as much as a 12 year difference in child earning data across countries.

* sample characteristics (the income question mentioned in other posts, not clear these are used for quintiles):

* US 20k, 20-40k, 40-70k, 70k+

* UK £1.5k/mo, £1.5-2.5k/mo, £2.5-3k/mo, £3k+/mo

* FR (UK ranges but €)

* IT <€(?)1.5k/mo, 1.5-2.45k/mo, 2.45-3.35k/mo, 3.35k+/mo

* SE (SEK) <33k/mo, 33-42k/mo, 42-58k/mo, 58k+/mo

* population samples per bracket differ most between US and EU, EU comparisons are pretty similar. Nearly 2x income bracket 1 pop and sample % in EU(.27-.33) vs US (.16/.18)

* From what I’ve found 2004 (UK data) £ conversion rate to USD was ~1.9. (2012)€ was ~1.34. USD and Italy are from 2011-2012, a 2012 $ is 0.82¢ in 2004 $s. So 70k=57.6k and £3000/mo=04$68.4k=12$83.1k, €3000/mo=12$46.8k

* age dist differs non-UK EU has fewer under 30.(~.2 vs .27)

So the lowest UK rate is ~2x the lowest US rate, the US rate is a smaller portion of the pop/sample, and the US upper rate is nearly 1.5-2x of the sample as the Non-US (.39 vs .17-26). The EU top rate is ~0.56 the US top rate when converted to $ using 2012 numbers.

There’s also another important dynamic here. 2011-2012 was the European debt crisis. Italy, in particular, saw a big unemployment spike over the course of the selected years.

The bottom end of that range is $125k/yr. That’s within the average of a senior software engineer. It’s not a big leap or, really, hard to get in that context.

The article specifically sites this as for senior software roles.

The Stanford study here cites an 11% reduction from ~8% to ~7%.

This is purely for surgical masks, it found no impact from cloth.

By far most mandate compliant masks even in high mask populations are cloth. There might be a conflation going on here.

We’ve been able to write buggy automated software for a very long time. That’s not interesting. It’s also not that interesting that stealing/replicating code replicates bugs.

When the AI/ML programs can actually create lines of code without references and do it with quality that’s when there’s a real story that isn’t playing tricks on tech authors for stock gains.

Tricks like this are why everyone always thinks big innovation is 5 years away when no one is really working on the things that’s make it 5 years away.

Didn’t they get in big trouble for this not long ago?

It’s not an additional $20-50 an hour it’s the doubling of their single biggest expense in a sector known for extremely thin margins at a time where all of their supplies are also shooting up drastically in price.

The thread following this is a great example of Linux’s fatal issue. 5 different people have 5 different user stories.

Public uptake requires ease of use and consistency.

It’s slower but, assuming you have control over page content, I’d think the answer is probably pseudo selectors or sibling selectors. The more complex stuff really.

Of course if that’s a need the page needs work but, not everything is “fixable” in time limited business cases.

Don’t even need the exact number just the aspect ratio.

When they did that they were never more than 10% of the personal computer market much less the world.

Making products for everyone is exactly how they did it, with universally popular iPods, iPhones, and wearables. The two biggest revenue drivers for them are iPhones and Services(Music, Pay, App Store, etc) (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/Q2%20FY19%20Consolidated...), they sell almost as much in iPads alone as they do in Macs. Those are all services that they famously made broadly popular and target towards the average consumer. It's only really in the Mac space that they target primarily the "high end" consumers.

That does it but also you can find more detailed information on their Github page: https://github.com/teslamotors/valhalla

You're making the same mistake a lot of people are pointing out in this thread, you're conflating Daily Active Users with Visits. If this were a decline Daily Active Users it'd be a 100% loss, it's clearly not.

You'd have to figure out the value per visit to reach a conclusion along the lines you're attempting to make.

This is more than a bit of revisionism, or possibly he just didn't know much about the German/Austrian interwar period.

It's well documented, and covered in most of the histories regarding the rise of Nazism, that a not insignificant part of why the party was able to gain traction was that there was already an environment of political violence and suppression. The SPD, KPD, and Freikorps were fighting in the streets well before the Nazis were relevant (the 20s. The fighting dates back to the end of WW1 and through the Weimar period).

There was similar violence in Austria at the time including a small civil war in the mid 30s, probably not what one would call a great and peacful environment for appreciating art and music.

Part of the reason that is an issue is that they're settling for much smaller amounts because the cut they get is big. So you have some massive data breach cases settled for things like $10 million. That's not even punitive at that point for companies like Target.

In practice it seems it basically just winds up being a big payout for whoever actually filed.

There is no try; only hacked and soon to be hacked.

> Do you use Linux in your stack? Do you often extend the kernel? How about nginx or Apache Webserver? Tomcat?

You're talking about a massively different scale of thing here, especially in terms of lifecycle and long term support guarantee.

Yahoo's fantasy sports app is pretty successful. It's about as installed as ESPNs and they were third in DFS (though far behind the first two). They actually just did a major redesign to it that made the DFS stuff more prominent.
