Now I'm curious if it matters what you watch.

Nice. I remember writing a PostScript graph paper generator when we got our first LaserWriters back in 1985.

I think 1% per year is insufficient for repairs. Even a paint job will cost more than that these days.

There's also a potential HOA fee, even in many neighborhoods with freestanding homes.

But there are tax benefits of home ownership too. The interest deduction used to very significant, although less now since they raised the standard deduction. There's also a $250K/500K non-taxable capital gains benefit when you sell a house for more than you paid.

Federal payroll taxes in the US are 15.3% (7.65% for each side).

They are pushing business-to-business service too, like ships, airlines, and retail/office backup. Plus smartphones can talk directly to their satellites. A lot of countries will use them for military use. Whether it adds up to a reasonable IPO I can't tell - market irrationality is hard to measure.

The ones I remember most affecting performance were zeroing allocated memory and the Spectre/Meltdown fix. Also, the first launch of a new app is slow in order to check the signature. Whole disk encryption is pretty fast today, but probably is a bit slower than unencrypted. The original FileVault using disk images was even slower.

Very cool. Street names with an on/off toggle would be nice.

I noticed that a little while ago too. Very bad UI. Tempted to post in r/dataisugly.

We had edge delivery issues when I didn't use my ISP's DNS, especially from Apple. Not exactly sure of the mechanism, but downloading Xcode would take 2 hours instead of 10 minutes.

Jobs brokered a $150M deal with Apple's arch enemy Microsoft in 1997.
