<p>AI companies aren't buying RAM, they are buying the Wafers themselves. Then they are making special AI stuff. So the RAM never exists, and there will be no glut memory coming. Maybe some DDR5 will dribble out, but HBM isn't something we can use (at the moment).</p>

<p>The article says in many more words, "pick your battles". You can't manage when you aren't the manager. Getting fired/laid off won't get you the results.<p>Pressure is being exerted from above, you bend (lax enforcement) and bounce back (suggest to higher ups better policies) when the time is appropriate.</p>

<p>I know that the iPhone Mini users are few but vocal. Instead of a yearly refresh of the mini, they should do a run every 5 years or so. Make a bunch, sell out of inventory by year 3, make a new one year 5 with updates matching the spec/price de jour.<p>It's like a LTR (Long term release) iPhone.<p>I know there are Apple Engineers lurking here, start the whisper campaign!</p>

<p>I was looking for an explanation of why apple and google received such a difference in outcomes.<p>1. Apple had to post a link that said Epic's product could be purchased at elsewhere
2. Google has to do a lot more. Like actual anti-trust punishment things<p>IMHO, these two should be both punished because the duopoly is pretty self-evident.<p>From what i could grep (and it's dumb): The problem lies in the structures of both monopolists. Apple has never ever let any one else make smartphones, and it's walled garden is completed, so the court can't compel it to open up and let others (like epic) play. So a link is all they have to do. Android smartphones do allow other app stores, but Google makes it hard to install them, highly discourage them, and google pays developers to not release on other app stores.  So google has an "open" market but behaves like a monopoly. So the judge is trying to "level" the market and punish google for acting like a monopolist.<p>I think apple should get the same treatment, but how?</p>

<p>China has a history of stealing technologies if it can. Fine, but don't expect the world to LET china steal these technologies.<p>And if China doesn't like it, it can reinvent the wheel. Here is the fun part. I think China can absolutely do so in a technical sense. But I know the people absolutely won't do it, because they don't want it/aren't incentivized to do it.</p>

<p>To further add to the parent, think about how stupid it is to turn off an money printing machine. China did exactly when it mismanaged Hong Kong. Hong Kong USED to be financial titan.<p>First, Taiwan sees HK and knows what's up. You don't sleep next to an elephant all your life and not know when they will roll over.<p>Second, even if Taiwan didn't rig for sabotage AND (big AND) just straight up surrendered (it won't); People will slowly leave, turn over will happen, machines will age out, the right investments will not be made, etc. Taiwan may not shatter (immediately), but it will rust and dull. Look at HK and I believe that is the BEST case scenario for the China.<p>For Taiwan, semi-conductors represent a poison pill/porcupine defense. But that is all that is, defense/poison. It won't stop China if the leaders decide that it would just eat the consequences. I hope Taiwan can find a creative solution to their woes.<p>For China, they have to realize they are on a timer. They can't keep "turning off money machines", or "crushing jewels". At some point they are going to run out of "resources" to extract and I hope they figure out how to work with countries in their region instead of antagonizing them. Why? because 1+ billion people will suffer if they don't figure it out.</p>

<p>The police are NOT an executive function and do not report to the PM.<p>The Ottawa police, report to the city of Ottawa.

<p>There is a giant chasm between "F* Trudeau" and "Stalin is bad".<p>Some people would like you to believe it's close, and they would be wrong. Stalin murdered/tortured people en masse. Trudeau oversaw a government (democratically elected mine you) through a once in a century pandemic.<p>The convoy of protesters made a point, was allow to make it for sufficient period of time, and was told to go away when a majority of Canadians didn't agree with their stance.<p>When faced with reality of their unpopular nature and their inability to build a momentum or consensus. They dug in.<p>At some point, enough is enough. The Pandemic ended, public heath was restore, and none of what the protesters did mattered. None of the protesters continue to be persecuted by the Government of Canada, Ontario, or the City.</p>

<p>Encanto's villain is the concept of generational trauma and manifested by grandma. I believe she isn't evil, just traumatized and passing it on to the next generation unwittingly. Others believe her to be evil because real life people don't stop being who they are after a song number.<p>I think it's a really innovative villain because generational trauma is real and  lots of people have to deal with it. It some times takes more than one generation to leave a vicious cycle.</p>
