The brilliant app is not bad at this. It takes you through a good learning curve.

Seeing comments from previous posts on this forum, I'd say they kind of succeeded.

Said like that it sounds ridiculous. That being said, if Apple silicon has the same rate of improvement as iPhone processors, Intel's victory is very temporary.

> What about the heat death of the universe and entropy?

A romantic take is that human evolution will ultimately solve this.

I read the foundation series by Asimov. Its title of the best sci-fi series of all times isn’t a hyperbole.

"One side effect? Societal harm by tech companies these days, far outweighs the opioid crisis."

No.

Correct. Also I’m ignorant about tornadoes.

Good to know, thanks for that!

"If you're ever in such a facility and a tornado hits, hide in a truck" is my take from this video.

Edit: it’s a bad take, read below.

It’s not true though. They were under tremendous pressure to adapt their product and change it for the ccp (with censorship for example). They were constantly resisting by introducing workarounds. Until the espionnage thing when they said "fuck it, we’re done". I remember very well: I was living in China at the time.

That EU thing is work in progress. Germany can probably sink that easily.

When building a product, it sure helps to not assume anyone's intelligence. Even better, assuming everyone is insane helps you consider more cases where user behavior could cause an issue. Ultimately, that saves time.

Wouldnt be so funny, would it?

By a large margin yes.

Colombo invented the "one more thing". Give credit where credit is due ;)

The ones where you have to blame someone if something goes wrong.

Depends how threatened they feel that discovery would be for their career.

On your second like it says that it works for the whole world (just tap "how it works")

Visiting everything in incognito mode has the side effect of being asked each time what I want to do with my cookies. https://klima.com/ is the first website I ever visit that actually respects the do not track request from my browser.

That’s the beauty of it: you can’t.

There's also a higher level point which is that he does whatever the fuck he wants with his website.

Meh, the ~90% success rate kills that purpose for me.

Well that’s not true, they do accept changes that negatively impact their lives, it just has to come from Mother Nature.

Well, thing is the alternative is absolutely possible, and we’re seeing it: people getting more expensive energy prices, mosquitoes appear in regions where they traditionally weren’t, causing health issues, insurance premiums increasing, coverage decreased for some types of events (here in Chicago insurance don’t cover for flooding of your basement). Small steps are certainly being taken by nature to make everything significantly more expansive and less comfortable than they should be. But hey, people who could influence this have the money to cover for that so let’s remain on the status quo a little longer.

Honestly there is not right angle to race. Saying "black people cant be at the board of companies" is just as wrong as saying "some black people have to belong to it". That being said, when only white people are at the board of companies without that being a calculated strategy, there is also a problem. If only white people come out on top where - allegedly - the smartest people belong, wouldn’t it be the place of the state to ensure that a fair chance is given to everyone from birth up to professional life, instead of trying to force an artificial standard upon companies?

A great way to not go to prison is to not break the law. It’s also cheaper.

You don't understand, China is "special", things works differently there! Some even say that gravity is different.

An insightful article by SCMP, can't say that this hasn't been vetted by the CCP: https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3135883/c...

The lightning port has been such a great process of trial and error... to milk money out of iphone users.
