    They are going straight to the Nasdaq. Most index investors are invested in the S&P 500

    Are cursor developers “competent” in creating frontier models? Aren’t they just using other company’s models?

    Samsung both sells premium hardware and manufactures a lot of it own components in house and sales components to other manufacturers including Apple. I consider Samsung “successful…

    I don’t care if a company monitors which websites I go to on a work computer, what applications I run or what I say on Slack. On the other hand I would be looking for another job i…

    Successful == decently profitable with decent profit margins. Someone else mentioned LG with an annual profit of $2.4 billion as a “successful” company.

    So did you think when I was talking about Apple I was comparing them to a company that sold power tools? But Dell’s profits cratered so bad that they took the company private and p…

    I used v0 for a vibe coded internal admin app. *BUT* I downloaded the source code from Vercel’s site, built and deployed in a Docker container (I never download random npm packages…

    I would buy Mac hardware running Windows long before I would buy x86 hardware running MacOS. In fact Mac OS on x86 was really nothing remarkable. Macs were objectively worse than m…

    You can’t compare Apple to any other company. Apple is the only successful consumer hardware company (with Samsung being a distant second). They can afford to sit out the AI arms r…

    I have used Gemini, I have a personal subscription to ChatGPT and a corporate $5000/month allowance to Claude. How is it better than either? How is it doing as a revenue making pro…

    I would hope that Apple doesn’t follow Google’s lead. Google has the attention span of a crack addled flea and struggles to make great products

    A company can’t shoulder liability for a cop pulling them over and arresting them on criminal charges.

    And neither does Google. The latest version of Chrome requires the version of Android released in 2019. The latest version of iOS supports my iPad released in 2019.

    As I said in another reply, Apple just did a security update for the iPhone 5s released in 2013 January of this year. The latest version of iOS runs on iPads back to 2919. The late…

    No, if they said they were running on separate VMs I wouldn’t have any issues. Absolutely no serious company would run their web software on a shared Apache server with other tenan…

    The iPhone 5s - released in 2013 - just got an update January 2026. The latest version of Chrome requires the version of Android released in 2019. Even phones that old aren’t getti…

    So exactly why is that a big deal when unlike Android - they actually keep their phones updated?

    It’s a perfect argument- use your own agency and intelligence to choose products from reliable companies instead of depending on the government. It’s like complaining about items f…
