I agree that having this tethered to a stationary hub inhibits the scope of this being a device which can be worn anywhere.
If anything I could see the iPhone acting as the hub (for the first few generations at least) in the same way the iPhone is the hub for the Apple Watch. Not sure what protocol they would use to communicate, Bluetooth doesn't have the bandwidth and Wifi is still a power hog.
He said a million self driving vehicles would be on the streets a year from FSD day.
To try to say the hardware for FSD is now present in 1M vehicles (which I doubt) is disingenuous to the insinuation Elon made that FSD is right around the corner. They're not meaningfully closer to FSD today than they were three years ago. Somewhat closer? Sure. A few feet on a journey that's a few miles though.
Right. And while Epic does the heavy lifting of crafting software to support healthcare provider workflows, integrating dissimilar systems (PACS, etc.), and storing all that data, the companies you mentioned feel they can create value by attempting to automate diagnosis and potentially offer some integration point for genetic counseling.
Which of the two has a trillion dollar market cap with monopoly like market share in multiple business to consumer product sectors?
There’s nothing novel about what Epic or any other B2B enterprise software company does (for the most part), other than total addressable market (and profits) being far smaller than the B2C FAANG giants - the market caps reflect this as well.
The point of all of this intervention is to increase the well being of the individual through higher wages (specifically, purchasing power) relative to our global peers. The same sort of wage growth that happened organically in the US for most of the 19th and 20th century.
"You have to take into consideration what kind of workloads lead to throttling."
I'm driving four displays at work with Windows 10 (two 21.5' 1080p monitors, my laptop flipped open, and an iPad Pro 12.9 connected via USB C running Duet Display) and my idle desktop CPU utilization hovers around 15-20%. Having Outlook and Chrome open gets it into the mid 30s. This is a four core i7 Dell Latitude 7490 with 16GB memory and an NVMe drive that I was given in May 2019.
Yes, all the OS/applications I'm using are resource hogs but I'm not even doing software development - this is all business analyst work. Seeing that the general trend of applications/OS will continue to be resource hogs, let's hope that six core thermal chassis design for 14' ultrabooks is figured out in the next two or three years.
Removing the touchbar has a material financial impact to Apple? We're talking about a CNC machine here, that's how they carve out the aluminum chassis. It would literally involve them carving out less aluminum from the block, because the touchbar would no longer be needed.
Quality problems? You mean like the over-engineered keyboard they've had issues with for three years?
Some decades longer design patterns are battle tested/aren't broken, yet Apple continually tries to break them - thinness to the extent that they now solder memory/disk to the board, putting out a keyboard design that isn't sufficiently tested, and all sorts of Catalina issues that people have documented online.
Would it materially harm a company with a trillion dollar market cap to offer a version of this without the touchbar (thus yielding a lower price), so people can afford to upgrade the soldered memory and NVMe drive?
Would it also harm them to make a version that didn't have soldered memory/NVMe drive?
Ultimately, this is why I switched to a Dell Latitude. Being user hostile to basic memory/disk replacement doesn't fly with me when spending $1500+ on a machine.
And if replacing either breaks the crypto chain - I don't need a black box T2 chip, I'll do my own disk encryption.
If you can afford to give your employees these benefits your profit margins are vastly larger than most software companies.
Are you the sole founder of this software company? If there are/were other founders, do they also carry the title 'Senior Consultant and Partner'? I've yet to see executive or founder leadership at a software company carry a similar title. Not that titles matter, but I'm just a bit confused on your claim of founding the company vs. what I've seen in the industry with respect to titles.
We live in a golden age of fraud. Look up $PEN, $OSTK, pretty much anything published by Muddy Waters.
