They could do both..keep the Air line for the super thin/long battery time users and beef up the Pro line...like those lines ought to be already.

I really doubt this problem would last after all human drivers are replaced.

The way to improve computational technology is parallelism. What are the usage domains?

-anything video related
--games
--image recognition

-anything AI (I think?)
--autonomous cars
--facial recognition

-a lot of physics applications

Thoughts?

I think there's a clause somewhere saying for the contract of transaction to be valid at least 0.01 has to be exchanged (or is it $1?).

Use one as a guest user. Suddenly it doesn't matter what you do on that pc (save network activity)

It's not safe where I live either. You would be biking in well north of 100f, highly polluted air, and traffic that WANTS to kill you.

My take away was that I don't like cities

That bit about shitty programmers...that's gold. But only a corporation would have to resort to such methods to rein in developers. In Linux land, if you fu is weak then your code goes nowhere (hopefully, at least).

Would you like a chair to throw, Balmer?

In the case of Linux, you don't have to argue whether unit tests or QA/QC are useless. What matters is simple: what developers want to spend their time contributing. They have historically not done unit tests and the QA/QC is probably as varied as the developer. Linux is a community effort by a self selected community. It's not a corporate driven, profit-seeking entity with a singular management structure.

At first, I think this must make it more robust to long term changes. It raises a follow up question, though. How do those developers/companies group up by contribution? I'm sure most are working on server/enterprise applications, but any changes there might be equally interesting.

For comparison, I found articles citing 1000-2000 developers for Windows 7. I had no luck finding estimates for windows server.

Sure, that's called socialism.

Ultimately, I think capitalism needs to pragmatically move above its limitations. It generates monopolies -> put pressures into the economy to fight back against them. It devalues people below their basic, human worth -> provide either a basic income or otherwise establish resource allocation outside the capital market. It leaves people unable to afford basic health care -> identify this as a failed market and employ a different allocation system for just basic health care.

Not to mention that the wealth of a nation lies in the general public. If you want a wealthy nation you need to empower individuals over corporations/oligarchs.

I doubt that would work but I wish it would

Exactly. It's asking too much for an incremental advancement. For that matter, I can't imagine a court taking siri results up as a lawsuit
