And also note the coming repairability of other parts: a given part only working with a given device will be forbidden.

So as example you will be able to swap out say a screen from one phone with a bad logic board to another with a broken screen. Currently Apple stops that from working..

Boeing seems to be a company that would need manufacturing and engineering focus, but have an economy focus instead.

All the problems they have had are a symptom of trying to maximize short term profits in an industry where the product is safety crtical. That has never ended well.

I hope that one of the other airplane makers can make a breakthrough to the most common plane segments, as else soon the situation will be bad with a monopoly by Airbus. Monopolies tend to go badly for the users in the long run too..

>complaints about higher prices are unwarranted since customers using at least two components of VMware's flagship Cloud Foundation will end up paying less

Note that he is only talking about the big customers, they clearly want to get rid of small ones.

That remonds me of a short chat i had with the CEO of a fairly large family owned company.

He said that they too like quarter to querter with plans and results, but with a "minor" difference: They talk about a quarter of a century..

It is basically the system that is broken.

As an intituional investtor/investment manager you have to look in the past, not future.

If you predict that something will happen in the future and are wrong, you will lose credibility/bonuses/your job. If you are right you might get a bit bigger bonus.

If you instead base your investing on the past you can always point to it as evidence. That means that you will never lose your job, though your bonus might be a bit lower.

Thus the 99% chose the second option.

In case of Reddit, they have numbers that make sense on paper, if you do not think about it: The user numbers have been climbing and the average monetization is low. So there is possible upside on that.

But then if you think about it the thing look a lot less rosy: The average user is pretty tech litterate so adblockers are very common and the site changes have been mostly negative to core users and moderators. Reddit also has much harder to get enough information on users to get properly targeted ads.

Thus I would never invest in Reddit.

Well, for me the new new reddit is unusable. The few months ago version worked fine, but then they started messing with things and broke both commenting and downloading of pictures.

Indeed. In the past EU competition authorities have taken a very dim view of companies trying to drag their feet(read as: Billions in fines). I think that it will be no different for Apple.

Yeah it works well enough. I guess all new servers have to go to fully hyper-v now as you can still do a one time buy of it. We are curenty running mostly vmware but a bit of hyper-v

Or maybe we need to learn KVM..

Emacs

*ducks to cover*

If you need quite a lot of power on the go and do not want a noisy generator (that is the by far superior option in most cases), the dual motor version of the tesla cybertruck is not actully a bad deal strangly enough..

The tryck is estimated to have something between 100 and 150kw battey capacity based on the ones doing the estimate. And the thing costs $80000-$7500 credit=$82500

Compare that to something like Jackery. Their Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station with tweo extra batteries for total of 6kwh is $5299.

So for the cybetruck price you would get 13.7 of the jackery stations.. 14 such would give you 84kwh.. so definitely less that the cybertruck and you would need still a vehicle to haul them around.

No, i am not saying that it is a good solution for most(see above about generators), but the fact is, you get a lot of battery capacity for the price comparatively.

That would be funny in the ironic way.

Think of the future history students reading about the two Q Anons then..

.. not for space nerds like me really as we were hoping that Blue Orginin would get it's act together and provide competition in the space industry.

But far more people are impacted by availability of good internet connection at a reasonable price, so having competition there is a good thing for far more people overall.

Well, you should likely also all the system level losses. As at least most quoted yields are at reaction level, not system level.

That is from the laser beam to total evergy out. But lasers far from 100% efficient and then the energy needs to be converted to electricity and the turbines are again not 100%.

...piracy gives superior user experience.

If you pirate something you will have access to it as long as you want.

Indeed.

That is similar to what the article clearly says in that Apple did also bring in someone to manage the company from an economic standpoint. It then lost it's vision and Google is currently in the same situation.

So for Google to thrive they need to become technology focused again, releasing products that people actually want to use. Steve brought that back to Apple.
