He still owns over 40% of Oracle, that's a much bigger equity stake than most founders, and most of these other trillion-dollar companies don't have founders in charge anymore.

I really hope this can become a new standard and be available everywhere (image tools, browsers, etc). While in practice it won't change my life much, I like the elegance of using a modern standard with this level of performance an eff

Why is the low of 2020 the right level to benchmark from?

JPEG XL looks like a great format, I hope it takes over. I get that most bandwidth goes to video, but it would still be nice to have a great modern standard for images.

France has been mismanaging its fleet and signally for years that they want to move away from it, under-investing in it, etc. It's not the technology's fault. Germany had some of the best managed plants in the world -- until they

It's because the US Navy can just decide to do it without years of red tape and mountains of paperwork. National security cuts through the red tape. I don't think the government owning civilian reactors would help if they don&#x27

The US Navy could be quite quick building reactors and innovating, because it didn't have to go through the same amount of regulation. They've operated lots and lots of reactors with very little problems for decades.

How do they deal with variability of all these renewables? Where is all that storage going to come from? Only realistic path is nuclear, but it'll take longer than 2035.

Agreed if what is taking so long makes a difference. I suspect a lot of it is red tape without a real benefit...

That's why we're also electrifying transportation, should push for heat pumps in buildings, etc, but yeah, there's a lot to do. Not dealing with electricity doesn't help the rest, though.

Wind & solar are great for what they are, but they aren't dispatchable, and we're better using battery capacity for EVs rather than the grid.

And we're shutting down nuclear power plants? How about we do what France did in the 70s-80s and solve this problem once and for all.

The book 'Stumbling on Happiness' by Dan Gilbert is great on this topic. People are very bad at predicting what will make them happy. Much better to see what people who are happy now actually did, rather than imagine what will mak

The problem with battery supply is that it would be better to use that supply on EVs to displace oil rather than on massive stationary grid storage for intermittent sources. Instead, for the maximum cleaning up of energy, we should build nu

The primary reason why I don't use Firefox on the Mac is because there's a bug that makes keyboard text-replacement-shortcuts not work (ie. you write some pre-defined keyword and it gets replaced by something else, like replacing

This isn't inductive charging, though. Just a magnet that keeps the physical wired connection together.

Hopefully it'll be on the larger model. I think they may segment it as "iMac Pro"

They're not bragging, they're saying it to counter the media narrative about them. I think a lot of white collar workers (ie. journalists and people reading certain papers) are shocked to find out that warehouse/blue collar j

I doubt it, it's not like the market for acceleration is stagnant and saturated and they need to steal some marketshare points from one side to help the other. It's all greenfield and growing so far, they'll win more by havin
