There should be one screen each for self signing individual apps and it's updates, and another one for adding a public app store key to allow verifying apps and updates from that key. That would be factual and not scary. Yes, the question should be asked with the play store too.
People should by default not trust a developer or store or OS for that matter that is scaring you into doing something.
Fabs are expensive and all, but maybe running a right-sized fab could have still been profitable at making optane for low-latency work that it was so good at. Even moreso with RAM prices as they are.
PE popped already, now Private credit is already popping, having been in too many bubbles, Datacenter bubble popped them. The whole system just isn't talking about it because the media isn't doing their job to report. There are no more good loans to make, the ROI is nil and the interest rate is spot plus 5.5%, and businesses don't want to pay 10% interest on a loan. We're ina zombie cycle
Why doesn't he sell while he can still get something for it? Continuing the trajectory it has been on in the last two years will mean shuddering the paper or turning it into X hoping some users will switch.
Newspapers just aren't worth that much. They don't make money, in general. He was losing $100m a year at WaPo.
You buy a newspaper because you're rich and you want your opinions disseminated. Not because you think you'll make money. So the number of potential buyers is really small.
Their last peak of subscriptions was when Trump got elected in 2016. It was a good time for newspapers and TV. The NYT is having an even higher peak now[1]. Surely the Sulzbergers aren't the only family competent enough to run a newspaper. Lots of papers aren't owned by billionaires and manage to do ok. Wapo didn't have games in 2016 and people still subscribed. It just lost it's value to readers, so people unsubscribed. I certainly did.
Bezos is literally just showing his incompetence at this point in running a paper, and the NYT is probably loving it. Sure billionaires can buy social networks and papers, but people can also subscribe to and use things not owned by billionaires.
The NYT almost went out of business before they were rescued by billionaire Carlos Slim. The NYT is probably doing okay because the local papers everywhere else are a pale shadow of what they once were, so people sign up for NYT looking for what they used to have.
But they did switch to a pretty good online presence, the NYT did games, others could try to go after classifieds or other online pastimes without neutering the news room like Bezos has done. Sure it takes investment, Bezos seems to have had no problems doing that with Amazon.
He should've chosen to not make editorial decisions, and help with finding other revenue sources. Instead he lost revenue by making editorial decisions, and shows no signs of learning anything. He's lost more in market value at this point than yearly profit with his current strategy, which he can change anytime.
The built-in matrix and irc client is pretty great too, hope they can keep building out these features. I donate every year to projects I use, and TB was among them this year.
Looking back, I actually think the older the RAM the more likely you're able to notice bit-flips and they harm your workflow. EDO RAM was the worst in my experience (my first computer), SDRAM was a bit better, and random bit-flips atleast under load got very rare after DDR2. I think Google even had a paper comparing DDR1 vs DDR2 (link: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...).
That said, memory DIMM capacity increases with even a small chance of bit-flips means lots of people will still be affected.
