The summary makes it clear that it’s slowing iPhone sales growth, not slowing iPhone sales.
This is a big deal, but it doesn't mean Apple is going out of business anytime soon. It means that Apple is transitioning from being a growth stock, to a value stock. This is a tricky thing to do. Microsoft struggled with the transition at the turn of the millennium.
In order for Apple to still remain appealing to investors, they need to pay careful attention to how they issue dividends.
Of course, there will still be some people in denial that they are no longer a growth stock. These are the people that are freaking out about slower growth. However, as long as management has come to terms with it, and doesn't try to over-saturate the market, they will be fine.
Unfortunately there's a new movement (or more properly a neo-movement) that seeks to allow distribution-agnostic packages to be installed. Among these are Flatpak, Snap (in theory, once you have installed the necessary backend, which is readily available in Ubuntu/Debian based distributions), and AppImage
I forgot about those abominations. I guess I'm showing my age.
Part of my job is managing suppliers. The corporate IT departments of all of the companies all have different policies regarding how data is to be moved. Often times, it's just easiest to have an liaison engineer come over with a flash drive to move the data. Email can't handle large enough files, getting IT to setup an FTP server takes weeks, and is still clunky. I have had some success using box.com for one project.
I realize there has to be a trade off between getting work done, and security. I'm not sure this is worth the cost.
Does anyone download Linux apps from websites? The first thing I tell noobs is to stop doing that and use the repository. Downloading Linux software from websites is asking for all kinds of problems.
That's all fine. But all I really want is for it to be faster than molasses in January. It take forever to load, and forever to save. If I want bunch of fancy features, I would switch to a more powerful program.
I've been in almost this exact situation. However, instead of sitting in the dark, I had the light bulb flickering over my head. I was going insane!
The first day I notified the facilities team lead. (they can't be called a foreman anymore)
The second day I notified the team lead's manager.
The third day I notified the manager's director, and two electricians were at my desk within an hour.
The millwright excuse is BS. It needs to be in the contract that if it can be carried in one hand, no millwright is needed. That gets rid of a lot of BS. Millwrights are only supposed to be moving extremely heavy things, not lightbulbs.
As a result, they've modified their fuel loading procedure, and proposed longer term updates to their oxygen tank design.
The proposed changes are complete. Falcon 9 Block 5 has many changes to improve reliability and safety. Updates to the oxygen/helium tanks are just one of many.
Keep in mind, SpaceX has a major advantage in safety and reliability that others don't have. They have recovered their boosters in tact. I'm sure they have torn them down to do detailed analysis on how the components hold up in flight. No other launch provider can do that.
Too bad the movie sucks. It's one of the most overrated movies of all time. It's slow, boring, and non-sensical.
I enjoy the film, but agree that these are totally valid critiques. A lot is open to interpretation, the ending especially so.
In defense of the slow and boring. That's how space travel would be. Clarke and Kubrick were striving to be realistic. This movie is a stark contrast to the shoot-em-up action of most science fiction movies. However, mixing that realism with its heavy metaphors was a confusing choice.
Although I think it's still incredible to this day, it should also be noted this was 1968. 2001 was revolutionary in its day. Not as much now. (I give the Beatles the same handicap. I don't think most of their music stands the test of time, but it was revolutionary in its day. Go ahead, flame me)
Hey Kubrick! Are you ever gonna get around to writing the second half of Full Metal Jacket? I like what I saw, but the projectionist swapped in a different film halfway through. Strangely, this mistake has been repeated on every video/DVD/etc. release I've seen so far. If you need some help finishing, maybe give John Kricfalusi a call, he's known for timely work!
Oh, yeah. There are is a major continuity issue with Full Metal Jacket. It feels like two separate movies, with the first being more enjoyable. I argue that it was likely done on purpose, to mark the contrast between training and actual war.
Kubrick was the kind of director that was in it for the art, like it or not. A lot of directors crank out film after film to keep a steady paycheck. He was slow and methodical, until it was the way he wanted it. (although he did edit 2001 after the first screening due to complaints similar to yours)
19) Musk is a soup nazi when it comes to stock. When asked about whether Tesla would be willing to make frequent production-rate announcements to reduce stock volatility, he replied no - that it's foolish to buy and sell on short-term news, and they only care about long-term investors. When pressed again, arguing that TSLA is "hard to own" because of the volatility, he replied, "We have no interest in satisfying the interests of day traders. No interest. Please sell our stock and don't buy it." That has to be a first, the CEO of a major company telling someone during an earnings call to sell their stock and not buy any more;)
This is an impressive move. Most CEOs bend over backwards to make Wall Street expectations every quarter. Many times projects are idled to keep costs down one quarter, and then the pace quickened on another quarter to catch up. This is a waste of resources. One purpose of the financial sector is to provide capital to cover short term gaps. Lately the industry has been pressuring companies to eliminate the need for this service. All reward, no risk.
Once Fords, GMs, Toyotas seriously push electric then Tesla will be a niche player..
Where will they get their batteries? A tier one supplier? There aren't any large enough. Somebody will have to invest a huge sum of money to get the battery production capacity high enough. The established automakers are too risk adverse to do it. The only company making that investment is Tesla.
Tesla has a huge advantage in not having any legacy investments in IC technology. The established automakers have to shed that burden and invest in battery tech. You think Tesla has problems? The establishment will have twice the problems.
Working in the automotive sector, the supply chain for batteries is a huge issue right now. Everybody wants them, nobody has them, and the prices are high. The Gigafactory is Tesla's greatest gamble, but I think it will pay off huge.
That's not really the problem. The per-pupil spending in Chicago, for instance, is 33% higher than the state average, even though it is one of the worst performing systems in the state.
As you mentioned, social norms and immigration status are a huge problem. People with money, that value education, move to the neighborhoods with the good schools. People that don't value education, or don't have the money to live in a neighborhood with good schools, go to the poor performing schools. Any efforts at reform are met with backlash from both sides, arguing that the poor will be pushed out, or property values will plummet.
It takes time for the ICM to reboot; you dont have to keep roasting its ground lanes with signal. You just have to make it malfunction and restart in a reasonable interval. 1hz pulse width would be sufficient.
I've seen operating engine ECMs reboot due to coding bugs. They boot incredibly fast. In milliseconds. The engine would keep running, but it would misfire when the ECU rebooted. The engine and vehicle have kinetic energy, so they don't stop dead in their tracks.
I'm not saying it won't work, but 1hz may not be fast enough. It might only slow the engine down.
With such limited crews, how will the ships handle emergencies such as fires or taking on water? A minimum number of people are required to deal with these emergencies.
Will they just let them sink into the ocean and deal with the cleanup afterwards?
The concept of mountain men makes some sense as you could learn about living off the land
Most of those shows are intriguing, but dubious. I've seen a few episodes where the characters are using tools and supplies that they have obviously purchased at a big box store. Blurred out orange buckets are usually a good indicator that they are frequenting Home Depot, etc.
I suspect a "Broadbandless" TV show would feature similar holes in the story line. Like rigging up a high gain wifi antenna using AmazonBasics parts.
The sad part is. They are typically all the same battery. When I recently replaced my smoke detector batteries, I bought some EverReady batteries. I looked on the box, and it says EverReady is owned by Energizer. When I removed the old Rayovac battery from the smoke detector, it said "made in Malaysia" on the bottom, with a code. The EverReady had the same code and was also made in Malaysia.
I doubt this was a coincidence. I'm pretty sure they all come from the same factory. A friend of mine that used to work in the automotive battery business told me this was common.
Thanks to a pair of very gifted architects, there is some incredible public housing in France. Sure, this technique can produce some basic housing, but nothing like what the Breitman's are creating.

I've read this headline several times. My biggest question is, where is this taking place?

Apparently it's South Georgia. Which I thought I had never heard of, but my browser's search history tells me otherwise.

I've been testing this feature in alpha. I've taken every recommendation, and received three promotions since I started using it!
That's all fine. But all I really want is for it to be faster than molasses in January. It take forever to load, and forever to save. If I want bunch of fancy features, I would switch to a more powerful program.
How are they moving a piece of hardware to the cloud?

What the fuck is LLVM?

That's not really the problem. The per-pupil spending in Chicago, for instance, is 33% higher than the state average, even though it is one of the worst performing systems in the state.
The issues with Chicago public schools are very complex. Despite what the news reports, it's not one of the worst performing systems in the state. It actually has the best performing public high school in the state. However, it also has the worst performing high school in the state. There are waiting lists for the good schools, and the bad schools are under-enrolled.
As you mentioned, social norms and immigration status are a huge problem. People with money, that value education, move to the neighborhoods with the good schools.

Do they have a system to automatically release swamp gas too?
. They either keep them completely off the network and block all USB ports, etc, OR they use a very discrete localized network.
That's overkill. Windows 95 doesn't support USB.
With such limited crews, how will the ships handle emergencies such as fires or taking on water? A minimum number of people are required to deal with these emergencies.
Will they just let them sink into the ocean and deal with the cleanup afterwards?
...no one else picked up where it left off and developed a successful low cost computer for educational purposes.

Only the subways (Red and Blue Lines) are 24/7 in Chicago. The Orange line is actually quite new. It was completed in 1993.
I do agree that the city is doing a very good job upgrading and maintaining the system, despite budget issues.
