I'm eagerly looking forward to and hoping the research project to add `Set Theoretic Types` to the language will work. It will help replace tooling like dialyzer in many cases (which many people love/hate).

It will also have benefits for LSP feedback. It could also lead to more information being passed to the new BeamAsm JIT compiler for more compile time optimizations and faster execution.

Yes for some. But I still would say you are missing the forest for the trees.

What is your metric? We have weapons that can end our entire human species. Never before in the history of our entire planet was this even been a possibility. Its like living with a loaded gun to your head. Not to mention the impending climate related crisis domino effect we are going to face in the next 50 years. I'm sure having nuclear weapons will make that go smoothly.

Death and calamity is going to be the theme of the next 100 years and beyond. Climate change, mass displacement, cheap & effective propaganda, ignorance, resource contention, soil degradation, nuclear proliferation.

We've only had nuclear weapons for 70 years. We used them to blow each other up on day 1. The odds are not in our favor that nuclear warfare will be contained.

The iPhone 12 Mini is great. I will never go back to a bigger phone again. The lack of all day battery life is a feature in my opinion. I use it more like a fancy tool.

Bingo. They most likely didn’t care. It was all a means to an end. I would be combing this data to see if any active users that were inciting a call to violence are employees or contractors of say: Epoch Times, Members of Congress or their staff, members of law enforcement (especially capital police), select corporations or donors.

“Some folks” is approaching near 50/50 split of the population of the US who have been led to believe “socialism” is worse than death. I know so, because my friend goes to church and they are now talking about this in their sermons...God is a Republican apparently.

American news is the WWE of news. Nothing wrong with his position.

I’ve always used safari. I have had no incentive to use another browser.

It’s a first generation chip in a thin-and-light laptop. I suspect all those problems will be fixed as they scale it up. Not to mention their unique position of leverage dedicated acceleration silicon in their software now.

YouTube has grown by triple digits. Those video “content creators”, from those just messing around to the professional film makers, are a huge opportunity for Apple to secure mind share in. Billions of views on YouTube. Billions of videos too.

I suspect the M1 powered Macs will be hugely successful and very useful for multiple types of users.

All I care about is the hardware acceleration of video codecs.

If a $1400 M1 powered MacBook Pro can edit and cut 8K Canon RAW Light And ALL-I HEVC from the Canon R5, it’s very attractive to me.

I hate conspiracies but I honestly think the IoT concept is an extremely terrible idea and perhaps even a cultural and societal nuclear bomb.

Can't wait to see the "everything working as normal, nothing to see here" comments. The hoax virus is a hoax until more and more people know someone that died from it. Nothing wrong with the postal service until your grandma dies or is hospitalized (and billed; either she pays all or you pay it-she is probably on medicare) because her medicine didn't come for several weeks, or the check sent in to pay your bill and you get late fees, and on and on the excuses will come for this corruption.

America as an ideal has failed and anyone who wants to come here should think twice.

Every country has their problems, but years of neglect and backwards thinking on social, civic, and cultural “brick work” has led to this.

The civil rights movement was never carried through. The Cold War mentality of military spending on the ever present “boggieman” wasted tens of trillions of dollars of GDP. The vilification of taxes, civic and social programs while also the decades long trend of funneling money to the top. The dirty politics of special interests, limited access, lobbying and un-checked money in politics. The widening wealth gap in both fiscal and quality of living. The gutting and simplification of the educational system to focus on math and sciences instead of raising well-rounded emotionally intelligent young humans. The belief that shoehorning everyone into a college education and the crippling debt that comes with it. The complete lack of national infrastructural investment since the 1950s.

All of this leads to disillusionment. Especially when generations have grown up being fed this believe of “not in america”. Disillusionment leads to desperation, leads to anger, and hate, and scapegoating, to fake “christian” mega churches were people are scamed out of not only their money but the last tatters of their divinity.

Technology like the internet mixed with stunted critical thinking skills, emotional intelligence, and compassion form into a deadly cocktail that breeds and spreads conspiracy theories and delusions fed to us by our enemies directly into our living rooms, on cable television, on our computers, and into our cellphones. Very little of it vetted or touched by anyone. To be shared and re-shared on Facebook in fear to our friends.

And all of this wasted human potential at the cost of the only thing we all share. The Earth.

Donald Trump isn’t the problem. He’s a symptom.
