In embedded/automotive, majority of the tooling does not have a linux version. Compiling is a bitch. Still, you're probably right about the 99% comment.

That race just wasn’t that competitive, even if it had 20k runners.

Anyway, yes, any race longer than a marathon is basically niche when analyzed based on the prize pool, media exposure, number of professional and recreational practicioners.

Seeing the rise of US skill in football (soccer), we in Croatia like to joke that the only reason we can win a world championship here and there in waterpolo, handball etc., is because americans still don’t find the sport interesting.

Having male only trophies is most often redundant because 99% of overall winners are male. That's just life. From time to time, an high/elite level female runner shows up when there are no elite male runner and she takes the overall winner. And that only happens in niche races (niche being every race longer than a marathon and some smaller city races). Ultras are also more likely to have DNFs (did not finish).

There's yet to be a popular race (6 majors, olympics, world championship, even regular "city marathons" etc.) where there's an overall female winner, because both m/f elites show up and men win by a huge margin.

Not a single Japanese company, while the lists are dominated by the US ones. What you're saying is nothing other than the ancient TV trope about the difference between Japanese and the Americans (east vs west).

disclaimer: I have 0 ties whatsoever to the US.

would it? I was under the impression that proppelers were much louder!

what is the biggest source of noise in an aircraft/type?

the US sounds like a dystopia more and more everyday. sure, one could make the case that these work habits are a reason for your success, but who is really benefiting that success?

well you obviously have a different idea of embedded. Sure, there are different requirements for different systems, but in IoT, my previous company shipped tens of thousands of devices (fleet monitoring, smart sensor networks etc) and everyhing was based on STM32 L & F series, Cortex M0, M3 & M4. Now, in automotive we have MPC57xx.

> Re-implementing this stuff isn't just a minor drag, it's commercial insanity

absolutely agree. if there will be an adoption it will be incredibly slow. Logical but extremely frustrating.

which one?

and when it comes to ethics, same argument can be made for apple with regarda to users controlling their hardware. (if) you are informed about the limitations of said hardware and general terms under which you bought it, then they have every right to protect their business model. it makes no sense to me to force a company to change the foundation of their business, and i dont wanna hear about “minor cutting” into their profits, the ROI is not something that should be adjusted by a 3rd party after consenting entities made a contract, and one side decides that it no longer wishes to honor it.

im not in favor of forbidding the things you listed, apple is not without sin, and they wouldnt suffer much with the legislation being changed, but i believe that the scale and trade off of the consequences should not be a factor in deciding whether we stick to a principal of honoring legally binding contracts, even if it’s EULA that might seem unfair. those issues mustn’t be adressed post factum and uncoerced consumers should not be coddled.

Yes, they are collapsing due to being overworked in one of the most valuable corporations in 21st century. The fact that a lot of people seems to be so dismissive about this fact is a very scary thought, and I happen to be pretty liberal when it comes to economics. This is an anomaly that should be addressed with a lot more attention.

I'll admit it, the idea to be paid to do nothing is completely strange to me, and my basic instinct tells me that unemployment would skyrocket, but I'm willing to forego all of that if the system proves to be more efficient and slashes the total cost of government and reduces the tax burden as many of these articles suggest.
