I guess a vibrating unit is an electric motor fundamentally. And an electric motor is also a generator when run in reverse. Maybe the Taptic Engine can also sense vibrations too.

I didn't say they were the same, but they serve the same purpose. Buying a put is a long volatility and short underlying position. You can mitigate the effect of volatility with spreads. But the directionality of the position is what you're buying with a put, you're buying delta within a certain time frame. And as I said, the risk profile of put or well constructed spread is better than plain shorting which has unlimited downside.

Shorting doesn't have to involve unlimited risk, put contracts are defined limited risk and serve the same purpose.

That's not how equity works. Paying cash or shares, the end result is exactly the same for shareholders barring perhaps some tax implications.

Buying a stake in AAPL,FB, or any tech company would have netted higher returns for less effort than buying ARM. If anything, a 25% ROI in 4 years is quite poor.

Once they were sold to SoftBank ARM had no more control over its destiny. You're saying that they're repeating the pattern, but they had no choice in this today. This was SoftBank's decision as the owner of ARM.

Hang on. Who the hell is having to do more work than before because of parents? Projects get pushed back, scoped down. Childless engineers don't have to be doing 100 hour weeks to compensate.

They should file for FMLA benefits retroactively. Ask them to look into it. Also, who fed you?

How do you treat everyone equally then?

> Isn't that a bit like asking what if the parent is given 10 weeks off and then has another kid. Do they get another 10 weeks off or is it unfair that they get 20 while the person having a single kid gets 10?

Yes, that's exactly right. It's absurd to complain about parents getting 10 weeks off.

What's the solution? Allow non parents to take 10 weeks off for health issues?

What if then a parent has a baby and then has some other health issues. Can they take 20 weeks off? Or would that be unfair because as parents they can take 20 weeks vs 10 for the single person?

Kids are not a choice in aggregate. Kids are fundamental to the survival of our species, the only intelligent life we know if in our universe. How myopic.

What if you have other income from investments?

Not really. No one outside of specialized applications like HPC will use Intel's compiler for their software. The general public seeing SPEC benchmark figures between gcc AMD and icc Intel may be surprised when they that Intel CPU doesn't perform as well as expected vs AMD when running generic code.

Even time off work? Do you have no understanding of other people? How can you assume that's an option for people?!

Sure, but some parents don't have the luxury of doing fewer hours at their job during the day like you. Weekends and vacations don't count.

Are you familiar with how stock markets work?

I think you're confused. He didn't own ARM, it wasn't his choice to sell. Hauser was vehemently against the SoftBank sale.

So what's wrong with it?

That's nothing to do with TG. They've been doing that for decades. Top Gear's mods were stupid, and no teenager uses it as the motivation for modding their car.

If anything, they get their inspiration from across the pond. TG is an older man's comedy show.

Brokerages can front you the money to buy while your ACH transfer is being processed. Robinhood calls it Instant Deposits, but I believe others offer the service too for free.

That's a pretty normal premium for a buyout. You'll never be able to buy a company completely just by using the stock price * number of shares.

Apple's operating expenses for the last year was around $200bn.

Why is that irrelevant?

What do you mean other types of data?

Those should have AArch64 versions written. AArch64 is old now, it's not some niche architecture.

Not quite, although they were deeply involved for much of it.
