Apple is paying somewhere between $65 and $71 per display depending on where you get your numbers. The variance in the cost per display in different reports is likely due to market variance caused by the supply pinch.
The $110 number comes from an analysis of the total that Apple is paying for all Samsung components that they use in the phone and is still the gross amount, not the profit.
The full production cost of the iPhone X is said to be around $357. There isn't exactly room in that for Samsung to make $110 profit on a display.
We have no idea how much they will make (a word usually synonymous with "profit") or even whether they will make anything at all on the deal given how expensive, and even risky, the tech is to develop and produce. Only time will tell.
Coinbase is looking really weird today. Many times I've noticed the various offerings at odd numbers on an individual basis like $15,999.99 (bitcoin), $8499.98 (bitcoin cash), and $749.99 (ethereum). Just a few moments ago, I saw this kind of number, as if there is some effect causing them to trade at around two significant digits, on all three simultaneously. I don't know what to make of this but can't imagine it being random chance. Does anyone have some technical insight here?
For those with their bets spread, this is an awesome day! It hurts not one bit for bitcoin to go down a bit if the net effect is positive. The total value of bitcoin and bitcoin cash for those who've held onto theirs since August is now at $24500!
The $750K cap on mortgage interest deductions is going to drive the higher end buyers down. Homes just above $750K will stop selling as most buying in that range try to get under the limit. For a while, they will sell at a loss, but as that settles, the market just under $750K will be gutted.
The prices of those less than $750K will then start climbing as the availability near $750K falls. The cascading effect will suck up homes that would otherwise have been rented until the construction industry rebalances itself.
The rebalancing in the construction industry will be painful as in progress development projects have to be redesigned or abandoned. There will surely be a rash of bankruptcies because contractors often exist well out on a limb. Recovery will take time.
I bet they are using the user-marked media to help in training the recognizer for what users don't mark. That would reduce the cost versus only using media marked by their paid army. That makes me wonder whether the better-financed abusers will create bots to flood the system with non-sensitive media marked as sensitive to poison the AI.
People worry about the things that they would think of doing to others being done to them.
So, if they are afraid of others having detailed plans of any streets, not just specific areas, it stands to reason that they make use of detailed plans of the streets of their neighbors in their own offensive plans.
People marching don't need detailed plans. What kind of attack would benefit from detailed plans of everything as opposed to just detailed plans of specific targets? Maybe they plan some fully automated, massive, ground-based, modern blitzkrieg?
An Unidentified Flying Object is nothing more than that. Any UFO could easily be an unidentified military (or even civilian these days) weapon. To choose to never investigate any report because of the association between the acronym UFO and "aliens" in the public mind would be foolishly negligent. A middle ground is essential. Hopefully, this just went full black.
I look forward to being able to sit down, put a headset on, and enter a VR world with a storyline produced in real-time per what my assistant knows about my mood.
The only thing really new here is the marketing change. This is essentially an NVidia Quadro card being marketed to the consumer market instead of the business market.
Any gamer who has wanted power this far above the other gaming cards has had the option of buying a Quadro for ages. Back in 2005, I was gaming with a dual Xeon, dual Quadro GPU, quad display system. The cards cost several thousand instead of topping at around a thousand.
There are still higher end cards than this one if you have the money to spend.
I wonder if there is something previously considered secret in common about some of the addresses. We'd probably never know if some or all were key points of some government cyber collection or war system, but someone would be having a very, very bad day if they were.
Insurance prices are based on risk to the provider. They have to walk away with profit after accounting for all payouts. If they can't do that on average in a region, they'll walk away from the region's business. There are many states where major insurance providers have left the market because the state's courts are friendly to those hurt.
There won't be less liability for everybody. There will be less liability for self-driven vehicles.
Our difference is in the assessment of the liabilities for those manually driving. That is very complicated and I know that I am an outlier in my beliefs. I do believe though that the risk equation is complicated in many ways that aren't being considered yet.
My belief is that, yes, manual drivers may have fewer accidents due to not having as many other manual drivers on the road, but their accidents will increase in cost by a greater percentage than the reduction in likelihood of an accident can balance.
I currently live in a mostly no fault state which I find to be pretty weird. It's my first time in such a state after having lived in many states. As self-driving vehicles become common, that will change. Most self-driving vehicles will be corporate owned and self-insured. After any initial kinks are worked out, corporate TaaS providers with massive self-insured fleets will lobby hard to put fault back into the equation. It will both reduce the cost of their self-insurance and help to drive more customers to them.
As the numbers of injuries and deaths decrease, the shock of each will go up and drive up the cost - especially in those states that don't attempt to limit suits to actual damages. Those paying that cost will likely be of a higher economic class on average because they are the ones with the money to indulge in driving their own vehicles instead of using the much cheaper TaaS.
The makeup of the pool of drivers will change too. At first, there will be a huge positive because impaired drivers will be among the first required to use self-driving modes. But, good drivers are often safety-conscious drivers. I believe that early on you'll see a much higher percentage of good drivers giving up driving than bad, aggressive, non-impaired ones.
In some cases, deaths may not decrease by the percentage expected because manual driving may actually be made more difficult. For example, as people subconsciously realize that most cars automatically stop as they step into traffic, the numbers killed by accidentally stepping in front of a distracted manual driver may actually increase. This kind of creeping complacency could become a real problem for manual drivers.
The sin tax isn't in the insurance, it's in what the insurance pays for. It comes from the civil cases that are one of the big reasons to carry the liability. Those manually driving will almost always be at fault and when their choice to indulge in unsafe driving causes harm to those acting responsibly, they'll pay. There will be efforts similar to MADD's efforts today to change attitudes and make that happen sooner than later.
There badly need to be restrictions in order to stop people from doing things like stupidly trying to sell out of 1000s of coins at once during a high volume moment or shorting it in the futures, dumping a bunch all at once, and collecting on the shorts. Selling a whole lot at once isn't good for the seller or the market unless the seller is also shorting. There are similar restrictions in stock markets.
As to strain under volume, it isn't like you can easily day trade this stuff anyway. When a transaction takes a week to be recorded, the market becomes heavily weighted towards buy and hold. People who sell during the mini flash crashes it has everyday are just losing money. 30 minutes later, it is often higher than it was.
This article is either intentionally sensationalist or written by someone who just has no clue.
The research presented found flaws in popular interpreters for a few interpreted languages. This is little different than finding flaws in libraries and in fact, many of these flaws were in the libraries.
It is a very important distinction. Fixing a problem in a language usually takes negotiation and can be years. Fixing a problem in an interpreter often takes days.
People whose idiot managers read this and are panicking at this moment will now be having to explain to them this week why this doesn't mean that they need to rewrite all of their code into another language to fix their problems.
The cows exist either way. This will take waste that would normally generate methane, collect that methane, and destroy it instead of releasing it. It has a potential of being a reduction versus the existing system of letting the manure release its methane into the atmosphere. Whether that potential is met would depend on a lot of factors. There is always the danger that the carbon costs of collecting the manure, building the plant, etc. will be greater than the savings. That happens often in these schemes.
Insurance will go up for the same reason it has become higher for drunk drivers. In the 70s, drunk drivers were common and rarely punished. Their insurance was the same as everyone else's. Public safety perceptions are relative and evolve. When self-driving vehicles become common, the safety difference of driving manually versus letting the car drive itself will be so extreme as to prompt movements against it. Liabilities will be higher because of the lack of responsibility being shown by those recklessly driving themselves.
Owners also will not be able to take advantage of the same advances as the fleets. A car going a million miles versus 200K isn't worth so much for the average person but will only cost the car companies a fraction more to make for themselves. The average person will have rotting components by the time they cross 200K after the need to drive to retail businesses drops off. Heck, without store visits, I doubt I cross 100 miles a month.
I think that court rewards for harm caused by people manually driving will eventually sky-rocket. It will be considered as irresponsible as drunk driving is today. This will force rates up.
Oh, I'd agree. Without tech, our food supplies would collapse and less than one in ten would survive the initial starvation. I'm all for getting rid of all of the jobs. It would just be nice if we'd start working on the plan for distributing resources that isn't earnings-based before it happens.
And windshields - seriously. It won't be long before it will be cheaper to paper the inside of the car with displays, and we'll just be able to display whatever scenery or videos we want. Myself, I'll have to have scenery to avoid sickness.
Exactly. We aren't there yet, but there will come a point where insurance rates for manual driving will start following a geometric curve. When they hit a steep enough point, there will be a serious discussion of outlawing manual driving so that we can start saving money on all of the vehicle safety equipment such as seat belts, airbags, and bumpers and get rid of speed limits and tailgating laws that reduce drafting efficiency. Long before that, the police departments will no longer be able to justify patrolling for speeders. Just one more job wiped out by AI.
I expect these to be less general purpose than Google's offerings. The EV industry doesn't need to train nets in-vehicle and has to be concerned with power consumption. The traditional vector FPU approach to AI is power hungry, many orders of magnitude more so than the human brain. So, we know there is room for improvement.
Something in the direction of IBM's TrueNorth chip which initially had problems with convolutional neural nets but can now handle them might be better.
In any case, I hope that Elon's allusions mean that a different approach is being taken - something between Google's TPU and IBM's TrueNorth. AMD would be eager to throw in some of their own funds if the development could be marketed to others perhaps after some delay. Elon is usually amenable to spreading the tech.
Personally, I believe it will happen. We'll give up driving. The younger folks are already doing it. I look forward to it as there are better things to do with my time,
and the expense is already a ridiculous portion of income.
In less than a decade, I expect the cost of insurance for drivers who turn the autopilot off or are driving pre-autopilot vehicles to start ramping up on a geometric curve extending over a period of 10-20 years. At the same time, availability of that insurance for personally owned vehicles will start falling off as insurers leave the business.
Twenty years out, you'll need to be wealthy to afford driving on a real road as opposed to one of the many tracks that will open up to cater to the nostalgic. There will likely already be much discussion about outlawing the dangerous practice too.
Perhaps some vehicles will keep the wheel to give the user's the feel of driving as long as they don't do anything out of monitored safety limits.
