Really? You're saying that we "lost it" by eating mostly vegetarian (WE'RE NOT VEGAN) a quarter of the month?
You're definition of "lose it" seems rather insufficient.
Think tomorrow night's bean burritos.
Times New Roman is not a Microsoft invention. It was commissioned by The Times in 1931 as an update to their former font Times Roman, also known as Times.
The update from Times Roman to Times New Roman was intended to address more modern printing techniques and aesthetics.
But neither Times Roman or Times New Roman has anything to do with Microsoft; it was all done decades before Bill Gates was born.
More and more I am wondering if these AI "initiatives" are just an excuse to reduce headcount and figure things out later, rather than an actual commitment.
It's been 10-15 years, and people still don't really understand streaming. "There are too many services" - too many compared to what? I'd rather pay $30 a month to three of five providers for an ad-free service, each of which providing way more content than HBO or Cinemax ever did, than $100 a month to one monopoly.
I'd rather pay $9.99 per month for what Netflix used to be before all the companies said, "I can milk these properties for more money if I create my own streaming service and cut out the middleman."
There may or may not be too many streaming services, but there are WAY too many streaming services owned by content distributors. You can't have any sort of meaningful free market among streaming providers if they're all just providing their own content. You still have competition among content providers at that point, but zero competition on the streaming itself.
This is what the article recommends:
The report suggests measures such as a universal basic income, taxes on meat and subsidies for healthy, plant-based foods.
I wouldn't call plant-based meat alternatives "healthy" unless your idea of healthy is dying of salt poisoning.
Without Apple, there probably wouldn't be ARM.
I was using ARM-powered computers daily when the state of the art Apple still had a Motorola 68k.
Apple was one of the cofounders of ARM (the company) in 1990. It did not create the architecture, though it likely had an impact on ARM6 (ARMv3 architecture) and later. Either way, the ARM architecture probably would not still exist if ARM (the company) hadn't been founded. The ability for multiple companies to design and manufacture chips turned out to be critical for its long-term survival and viability in the cell phone market and others.
Arm (it's not capitalized) chips with power comparable (not to mention better) than any PC mobile-class chip were absolutely new when they made the switch.
ARM (short for Acorn RISC Machine or Advanced RISC Machine) is an acronym, and all letters are capitalized. Arm is something attached to your torso.
Oh, totally. Your shitty Raspberry Pi is completely comparable to a device that performs 14x better than it.
I'm not saying Apple Silicon isn't better than the competition — it is — but that's not a fair comparison. Raspberry Pi's performance is largely because they use Broadcom chips, which stay several generations behind the state of the art. For example, the Raspberry Pi 5 (released in 2023) was designed around the Cortex A76 CPU (released in 2018).
Apple Silicon CPUs in a laptop put the power of a workstation-class laptop in the power envelope of a netbook.
Disagree. They put blazingly fast single-core performance and roughly half the speed of a workstation-class laptop in the power envelope of a netbook.
They're nowhere near the top overall, but their single-core performance (which affects perceived speed more than multi-core performance, typically) is at the top.
To this day, you cannot find a comparison of a PC and a MacBook that doesn't sacrifice every shred of intellectual honesty the person has,.
You really can make the comparison. Which one is best depends on the workload.
You can have better performance, if you don't mind 2 hours of battery life, and you can have half as much battery life as the MacBook, if you don't mind the performance of a Nintendo Switch.
Yeah, that's about right. But Apple also uses those chips in desktop, where the comparison is not nearly as rosy.
Don't get me wrong, I love my M1 MacBook Pro. The battery life is spectacular, and performance is good enough. But I'd be lying if I said there weren't workflows for which Intel would be better.

Nope. This is called "Copyright law", and IP.
I am reminded of early in the invasion of Afghanistan, and early in the invasion and conquest of Iraq, where the major media was reporting that combat troops didn't have enough water to drink, because the outsourced (instead of the Quartermaster Corps) vendors supplying them were "having trouble getting insurance for the people and transport" (going explicitly into a war zone).
You really, really don't get it. What the hell are you doing on
How would you feel if *all* "entertainment" was, say, from Disney, owning all? Now how would you feel if Ellison and the extremist Muslims in the middle east own it all?
Really? Prove it, and anything from Faux Noise or NewsMinimum doesn't count as proof.
We're environmentalist, and have deliberately gone to meatless about a quarter of our dinners every month.
Gee, years ago, Apple, alone, had $79B IN CASH. We can afford to go to the Moon, and Mars, and elsewhere.
That is, once we tax the wealthy at 72% (as it was in 1972), not 14%.
Say *what*? There's NO INTELLIGENCE in the chatbots. They really are no more than typeahead writ large, and the discussions I've seen say that the training data is running down.
This is inane. Why is he being paid insane amounts of money for, what, a 50mpg carburator (older
FORTRAN is for pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies.
