Quality takes time: time to design, time to implement, and time to test before release.

The market has favored time to market and continuous delivery over quality. If we start putting a premium on quality then quality will return, plain and simple. Perhaps the pendulum will soon turn around, perhaps not.

I'm not sure you know what RAM is, or a memory leak, or SI units.

If it reported 1500 bugs but only 50 of those were valid, then the signal to noise ratio is too low for a real person with budgeted time to be able to filter the output.

Try being a developer for the Apple ecosystem and tell me if you still respect them and believe that their business model is just having high markups on hardware.

Wow, he's been dead for 14 years and I still don't give a shit. He leaves behind a legacy of corporate greed and personal douchbaggery.

Dude, you're unhinged and completely ignoring the facts.

If they had only collected DNA from people who actually committed a crime then there wouldn't be a story. The whole story is about the lack of oversight leading to overreach that affected citizens never charged and never convicted of a crime.

I made this prediction 20 years ago, back when China started obviously making inroads into technology beyond just manufacturing. I have been waiting 20 years already for the cost of labor to equalize, might have to wait another 20 to 50 years before it actually happens.

So you're not wrong, but don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen any time soon.

Check for dips instead of peaks, there you'll find the impact of AI stupidity on the economy.

Apple doesn't sell beverages, this reads like complete nonsense to anyone who isn't already very familiar with the analogy.

But it's also novel. One day maybe we'll even recognize it as revolutionary, albeit unwatchable.

First of all, that would be his accountants and not him. Second, I don't think so -- whatever loopholes and loss carryovers his bean counters have exploited are probably legal by the tax code, so it's not evasion.

That structure in the water looks like her airplane in the same way my toast looks like Jesus, or some rock and its shadow on Mars looks like a human face.

What part of this article, pertaining to fiber optics, did you not read?

You have no idea what you're talking about. A series of fires in northern CA started the exodus of insurance companies, and this predated Newsom. Your comment about gay black women carrying men is some kind of made up straw argument that has nothing to do with wildfire deaths in CA.

I've experienced this first-hand several times now and believe me or not these kinds of wind-blown fires are unstoppable. I have never seen a single one get put out until it either rained or the wind stopped long enough.

Water supply, politics, and "forest management" (yes, of SoCal's famous coastal forests LOL. Wrong geography) are all bullshit media cycle talking points.

We don't know the specific cause of the Palisades fire yet but in general CA natural disasters have boiled down to climate change coupled with profit-motivated mismanagement of infrastructure by private and semi-private utilities. These communities weren't built to be defensible from wind-blown wildfires and you'd just as soon drain the ocean as be able to "manage the brush" of the expansive SoCal wilderness area. You'd have to bulldoze homes and remove mountains to create a defensible space in many areas, and nobody can predict where the next fire is going to come from.

There's a whole lot of emotive speculation and no facts in this thread...
