TBF he said it would be an open protocol, not open-source. That being said, obviously Apple still never followed through...

Eh not really true as they've explicitly stated every single swap / transaction for crypto should be reported vs having any sort of threshold

It's really odd that this is making the media rounds now, granted this is the most fair headline I've seen on it to date. The fact that Focals v2 were being cancelled, and that all customers would receive refunds for their existin

I love this, but it struck me in the opening paragraph how similar it is to the challenges around training AI on higher-level abstraction goals, with tons of examples of AI's basically "cheating" and passing information discr

Also - that's not the reason. The reason is because Android is open source and Google allows sideloading. I don't think Google allows Amazon to distribute their app store through the Play Store, so you have to sideload it. Doesn&#

Is real estate still a "great investment" in China when you can't own property but merely buy 75 year leases? (this is my understanding of how real estate works at least in Shanghai)

That's literally the point. Because of reactions like yours (specifically that last line re-paraphrasing), anyone on the conservative spectrum is now afraid to express their opinions or reveal such information

It's a little bit different if your job is to design and build a product intended to be arbiters of free speech, and the govt is pressuring your industry and company specifically to maybe take a heavier hand in moderating... In that ca

You are right, however that is a systemic bias in equal opportunity – not representation. Foot in the door is a huge step, and it's totally okay for companies to push initiatives that allow more minorities to get their foot in the door

They do this already at a fairly large scale, for example the BOLD internship and development program where the goal is to "expose historically underrepresented students in this field to career opportunities in the industry." [ ht

No one is arguing it's not – but most people agree its warranted given Amazon's previous anti-competitive behavior, i.e. de-listing competing Google + Apple streaming boxes + Nest products + never offering integration of Prime Vid

Fiat money is just a concept made up by governments, so no – the resource is not finite, and I think that's the crucial point in lots of these conversations. Innovators create and deliver value to large populations of people and are re

It's been years since Apple has started sitting back and raking in the money by letting other players mostly test out technology on smartphones before they adopt. My only major concern with iPhone X is that I don't think FaceID is

Probably internal – when I interviewed with them in the past an internal recruiter (I was familiar with through friends / on-campus stuff) gave me some super dumb technical questions on the "initial screen". Very basic pseudo

I think that her "infinite loop" theory was her perception of the anecdote around hiring at her own startup. It does seem conceivable, but yeah obviously data is light here. Good point on how the whole interview process is a craps

Well they're not really predictions so much as a phenomenal data set tracking the industry and consumer behavior in relevant markets. Draw your own hypotheses / conclusions :P
