> Recently I tried helping someone to get a file from a PC to their iPhone. The best options were either weird file sharing services or an USB stick like a barbarian. Those… aren’t…

Scrum is supposed to be training wheels for agile, not the end point. I think a lot of ppl forget that.

Plenty of people clutched pearls (rightly) about IE tho. And https by default. And much more. That it’s not currently a problem is due to 25 years of strongly pushing for privacy &…

Given Android users don’t have iMessage that’s kind of not an issue then.

Charlie certainly was (he took a copy from Bob). Bob is the distributor in this context however. In most Berne convention states he broke copyright law (technically, but nothing wo…

Taking just means, broadly, “to gain or acquire”. Repetition of an incorrect point doesn’t make it any more valid I’m afraid. Copying is often called taking a copy. Even basic usag…

Taking can simply mean “to gain or acquire”. So, once again, incorrect. Sorry. I’m sympathetic to the moral argument you’re making—though when the raw goods are digital too I think…

Copying is “gaining or acquiring” so would come under “taking”, sorry.

Taking can simply mean “to gain or acquire”. If that’s your argument… it’s unsound linguistics and legally.

> The key part is depriving the original owner of the use of the item. I know that’s been a tribal shibboleth of piracy since the 2000s, and I’m sympathetic to the moral argument t…

Doesn’t need to have a transaction to be stealing. You just need to take (or appropriate) something that you’re not allowed to.

Incorrect. You’re using one of the intransitive definitions but general speaking it’s the transitive forms that apply to digital content, ideas, information, etc. 1. to take or app…

The last solar install I saw retrofitted to a (reasonably large) parking lot took about 3 days & the lot was only partially reduced in capacity for that time. There’s really very l…

Yeah, it’s completely meaningless to compare but HN loves specs & seemingly hasn’t learned—after about 15 years of it being true—that direct spec comparisons are meaningless. I see…

Wait until you learn about the oil industry…

That’s… almost literally the worst tape product you could use (outside of obviously awful ideas like Duct Tape). In fact repairing use of scotch tape has its own whole section in m…

M1’s took a hit because multiple processors came out each gen. Remember: the M1 was superseded by both the Pro & the Max (and the unites but that’s not in a MacBook). By the time t…

It’s more than that. That’s just shared memory. As you say, if it was just that they it wouldn’t be noteworthy at all

Probably a balance of both tbh, as it appears to be both faster AND around the same performance per watt.

The majority of MacBooks out there are still intel based. This presentation was mostly aimed at them & M1 owners.

oh absolutely, I can't wait to see the benchmarks. Per the (non-numerical data) benchmarks in the video tho - it is faster. So... until other evidence presents itself, that's what …

2.5x is "just barely"? lol k.

Yup, exactly what I was saying.

That's... the same view, just applied to a different metric. Both would be correct . Your reading comprehension needs work, no wonder you're unconvinced when you don't even underst…

Based on what? The event video says it's faster.
