Looks like they did literally nothing in 2024?


Itanium sales projections vibes


>Itanium sales projections vibes

We should be so lucky as to compare 2025 to 1997, when Itanium and its projections were announced.


MVNOs are like second or third-tier citizens on mobile carriers, why would Apple hand a lever like that to, say, AT&T?


That depends on their negotiations, no? Fi has been fantastic for me in the years I've had it, far better than first party AT&T or Verizon for my use cases.

Presumably that's because Google was able to negotiate favorable terms from T-Mobile. I assume Apple would be even better at that.


Google Fi isn't deprioritized. There are a few MVNOs that have the same priority as first party carriers.


Apple could definitely strongarm the carrier to make them highest priority.


Sure, but why post a tutorial of how to spin this up in GCP instead of...productizing it in GCP?


The "it" in question is this website's certificate?


It seems utterly absurd to me that anybody should be able to issue a copyright claim on a collection of colors and fonts. Copyrights are issued to logos and slogans, not design systems.


It seems utterly absurd to me we litigate the ownership of ideas or their expressions, but here we are.

The founder of Bikram Yoga, tried to copyright a sequence of yoga poses, even though similar sequences have existed for for thousands of years. Monster, the energy drink maker, went after business for using the word "monster" in totally unrelated contexts. Disney trademarked "Hakuna Matata" (a Swahili phrase roughly equivalent to "no worries") after using it in The Lion King, prohibiting African businesses from using a common idiom in their own damn language. Don't get me started on Happy Fucking Birthday.


If you think that sucks, check out T Mobile trademarking magenta https://www.npr.org/2019/11/25/782723429/t-mobiles-parent-te...


Cadbury and purple...

These colours are their trademarks but I believe they don't own the colour in all domains.. probably just food? If you wanted to make a car company logo that colour you'd be ok?


No, trademarks are issued to logos and slogans.


Yes, but many logos are also copyrightable.


No questions, but a heartfelt thank you. I've used wire for years and plan to continue doing so. :)


They don't "have" to be any of those things. People are not consistently rational actors, as evidenced by your continued advocacy for Emacs.


Bold of you to think the red states are capable of learning.


Oh, they will. Culture wars only go so far when your wallet is _truly_ affected.


Wasn't that the alleged reason for continued escalations in Germany in the 40s?


Not really.

Hitler got entrenched in power because his economic policies _worked_ in 1930-s. They were broadly Keynesian: state spending to stimulate infrastructure (for the military) and manufacturing (also mostly military). This led to economic growth that people really felt in their wallets: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Economic_development...

And so it resulted in a huge upswing in Nazi support, enabling Hitler to stay in power. People really _loved_ him.

This doesn't work all that well backwards. If peoples' lives keep getting materially worse, it's hard to keep blaming it on "the others".


Everyone learns when they're punched in the face. The question is what less will be taught? So far he's been able to tell them everything is someone else's fault, but when he's in the driver's seat, who will he blame? And will they believe him?


I would genuinely be buying one today if the memory upgrades were half as much and I could go to 128GB or even 96.
