WisprFlow has a lot of good recommendations behind it but the fact they used Delve for SOC2 compliance gives me major pause.

to clear up confusion, this 100k applies to brand new h1b petitions outside the country.

if you are already in the US it currently does not apply to you, or if you are transferring jobs with an existing h1b, or renewing your h1b.

source: former h1b

side note: as of february it’s estimated only 85 h1b petitions paid the 100k fee. the rest did not fall under the qualification.

there’s no hard evidence here. the “99%” referenced in the article is someone’s personal subjective confidence it’s him. body buried under church is not particularly eventful news as it stands.

isn’t what cook is pointing out actually the most important thing?

a product created for the strategic purpose of expanding into a new clientele is doing exactly that. that is the win.

put another way, if the statement he said was “best launch week ever for Mac customers.” that does not speak to the entire reason for the existence of this product category. in essence, THAT would be the pointless statement.

uh isn’t the data leaker the necessary accelerant and necessary component to validate against the rest of the ecosystem? isn’t that what triggered the communication and coordination between multiple delve customers?

if you go through the original Substack post it’s clear the intention is to drive to those obfuscated auditors.

Are there actual good examples showing errors of omitted facts on Wikipedia that are verifiably correct, that demonstrate how it is "captured"?

putting a build on your own apple watch is horrific.

it constantly disconnects, requires restarts and other nonsense techniques. i legit do not know how you can not be running into these problems if you are developing on those platforms.

we saw this exact playbook with ios 7. i don't think you need to attribute malice or read into it much.

ios 7 relied heavily on blurring effects-- a flex at the time due to the efficient graphic pipeline vs android they had. this was coming off the heels of Samsung xerox'ing and they wanted a design that would be too expensive for competitors to emulate without expensive battery hit. liquid glass is following in this tradition.

and similarly to ios 7, the move to flat design was predicated on the introduction of new form factors and screen. flat design lent itself well to new incoming screen sizes and ratios. prior there was really one or two sizes and that was it, easy to target pixel perfect designs against. as apple moves to foldables and more, this design flexibility is once again required.

as for no one trying to emulate it, i'm not so sure, OriginOS 6 ripped it off back in October.

New comment by ibero in "We're forking Flutter"

ibero — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 21:10:16 +0000

| How many Flutter developers exist in the world, today? My guess is that it's on the order of 1,000,000 developers. The real number is probably higher, but one million should be reasonably conservative.

one million flutter developers? that does not make sense to me at all (by orders of magnitude). does anyone know any metric to validate this? i am shocked if it's true.

from the outside looking in the time and space vercel have dedicated to their v0 product feels like a leadership team bored (or worse) with their main product offering.

it seems as if a company enthralled by AI fever at the very top of leadership, preferring hacking into some new dubious tangential product offerings than circling the wagons and fortifying their core proposition.
