ben_vulpes: but i have at least managed to rid myself of the
apple dep
gabriel_laddel_p: fwiw, I'd like to apologize for the spelling errors above. on an
apple computer & it spell corrects me / removes text / sends messages I didn't intend to send. Eg, "incidentally ascii" was supposed to be prefaced with "Amen. "
ben_vulpes: i was raised under the glorious unified
apple toolchain
mircea_popescu: "leveraging the synergies" or how's it called, "ironing out the waste and inefficiency" ? anyway. why need
apple when has windows and intel ? samsung can make the tablets as usg.intel profit center.
mircea_popescu: remember back when obamschev days,
apple had like 30bn hoard of cash, the "economy" had "recovered" from crisis etc ?
BingoBoingo: And no,
Apple is not as big as Sears was.
Apple sells no iHouse, and
Apple has never conducted a public service on the scale of Sears donations of toilet paper to the masses that they wrote off as marketing
mircea_popescu:
apple story being
apple got ftc to sue the chinos, ftc got lapdogs (intel, samsung) to join in. the chinos might actually slap an ic export ban on us.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, qualcomm-
apple battle heats up. iphone 8 might be banned from us market &c
ben_vulpes: sadly, the only fuckoff.sh for new
apple retardation is not buying
apple products
ben_vulpes: it is abhorrent that
apple decided to display who's texting me over my movies.
Framedragger: like,
apple watch can start flashing when precum is estimated to be secreted
ben_vulpes: endless lulzrabbit hole, this: "I seriously considered quitting the industry in 1997 when
Apple Computer was concluding its acquisition of NeXT. Imagine if the president of General Motors said, in 1997, "It has come to my attention that our cars are kind of clunky and unreliable. Don't worry, though. We're rectifying this problem by licensing the blueprints to the 1985 Toyota Camry."
Framedragger: in .lt you normally also say what kind of uogienė (strawberry,
apple, etc.), but i guess that's normal/conventional anyway
shinohai: `clang` (noun) The sound your
Apple phone might make as it is being pwnd.
BingoBoingo: Tomatoes also go well eated whole like an
apple so long as consumed no further than 100 feet from the vine
mircea_popescu: if usg asks for an
apple, you bid a dollar, and nobody underbids you, they'll decide they must "inspect" to "investigate" etcetera, and won't you agree to a three dollar fine ?
mircea_popescu: if usg asks for an
apple and you bid a dollar and then they decide to define "
apple" as a sack of potatoes, you owe two dollars in merchandise.
mircea_popescu: (though it's a welcome exercise, in passing, to consider HOW would you rigurously prove an
apple doesn't cure sun eclipse.)
mircea_popescu: ie, it's one thing to tell yokel your
apple's a mango, it's another thing to claim your
apple cures sun eclypse.
trinque: there's an emulator snuck through
apple approval processes every now and then
ben_vulpes: "i'm going to put a fun thing on your phone.
apple will break it within the month, because they're assholes."
ben_vulpes: "yeah, and now how pissed are you at
apple?"
ben_vulpes:
apple borks the thing remotely within a month
mircea_popescu: other part of the problem is that it's too large a corp. their kernel ppl and their directx people were pretty much as related as samsung and
apple.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yes, from an individual perspective. but in aggregate, worst case of confederate dollars ever. "we'll take these 5bn shares of
apple and replace them with 5bn shjares of crapple. because it's ok hurr."
mircea_popescu: "hey, it's still
apple". bitch... that is SO not
apple...
mircea_popescu: why implement deeds stupidly ? dude i dunno, why does
apple exist.
mircea_popescu: this is a category, the false dichotomy. it's defined, an actual thing. you know, if you say this is an
apple and i ask how's it an
apple you show it matches the salient parts of the definition.
trinque: it may sadden those that don't yet know that open firmware was a dead simple forth nugget. i.e. in the sense that
apple for a brief time meant dead simple.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-02 00:38 mircea_popescu: and an
apple costs a fortune.
ben_vulpes: heh veen and i broke
apple's facial recognition on the first day it shipped. filed report, crickets.
mircea_popescu: sort-of how
apple doesn't run osx on whatever servers the ipads connect to.
mircea_popescu: they got a problem, blockchain hasn't fit on any tablet
apple markets for a year
mircea_popescu: as in,
apple "could buy russia", but can't v in a year.
mircea_popescu: learn this one amazing trick a portland dad discovered that
apple doesn't want you to know.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform facebook entirely exists out of spamming bs
apple games.
mircea_popescu: i also like the game development <->
apple / google arrow schematics.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-31 18:18 mircea_popescu: "
apple", does it make it better if it's "
apple" in quotes ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall the discussion re
apple/"
apple" recently ?
mircea_popescu: so then, this exact idiocy repeats itself time and again. 1. usg.
apple tells ustards to use $item-which-sets-all-passwords-as-p-independent-of-user-input ; 2. ustards do. 3. republic owns them, and puts them to whatever use more adequate to their tard genes, such as fap fodder, lulzcow, whatever. 4. the usg comes up with a color of your bits "goes without saying".
ben_vulpes: looks like
apple's in for another lost decade
trinque: jobs may have actually killed someone with his hands if he saw the "o look mother I put the
apple watch inside the mac"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: on the "oh noes
apple broke more shit" thread, not only do pageup/down not work, but
apple's own messenger wastes all the CPU that "Slack" left on the table
mircea_popescu: no
apple, no google. it's gonna be trump's consturction co, bannon's whatever sidescam he makes, that sort of thing.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-06 13:28 mircea_popescu: like what ? something like amd fx 9500 is, i bet, way ahead anything
apple ever put in anything they made.
ben_vulpes: and yes wtf llvm is an iridium brick of
apple compiler phd time
ben_vulpes: dog if that's a jet fighter i'm the ceo of
apple mircea_popescu: also why eg
apple doesn't wire to new york the proceeds of sales in paris.

mircea_popescu: (note how "everyone" ~YOU HEAR ABOUT~ is trying to make "the next airbnb" ; not the next
apple. there's a reason mother's lullaby goes the way it goes, and that reason mostly has to do with mommy's fear of rape)
mircea_popescu: those security reasons being "
apple could buy russia", of coruse.
mircea_popescu: same thing with fucking
apple, "we'll make tools that make the users dumb but happy". really ? and who will defend you, when the guys who made their users smart but uncomfortable come seeking your head ?
mircea_popescu: davout no, not really, because i buy ~apples~. your question would be "at which point you stop buying canned frozen fruit tm for your
apple pie". anyone may give his own answer, but in my case it's long, long ago.
davout: mircea_popescu: yea, i guess the question is where you stop. at which point do you decide that you're going to buy these apples instead of growing them, because ultimately you want an
apple pie
mircea_popescu: possibly your idea of "scales" is tainted by the idiots, "to scale means to be used by a larger cattle headcount". that has nothing to do. to scale means to go up the abstraction tree. an
apple is a correct
apple if it scales, ie, if the concept of
apple follows from it.

apple, nsa, whatever, nobody gives a shit, but this "
apple" is the empire's last hope, half-Alphabet-half-AAPL-half-contractors whatever it is.
mircea_popescu: ah. yes i guess 2016
apple laptop compares favourably to cheap-side 2009 desktop.
mircea_popescu: like what ? something like amd fx 9500 is, i bet, way ahead anything

☟︎☟︎ pete_dushenski: dunno what his google pwd was, but apparently 'Runner4567' unlocked podesta's
apple acct

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the "
apple software ecosystem", while on a level dysfunctional as ben_vulpes oft informs us, is on another edge intricately designed.
mircea_popescu: this being the difference between a technology company like
apple and a media company like yahoo, aka microsoft : the former actually fit gcc / their erstwhile competition in head. the latter just blather on in the hopes the holy paper clip will help with the printing press.
mircea_popescu: alf likes to assert "x profits from it" but this assertion is kinda nude.
apple benefits from xcode about as much as rbs benefits from western world being made of chickens.
phf: word on the street, that u.s. alibaba office is hiring like crazy, and that the salaries are so high, microsoft/amazon/
apple no longer attempt to match compensation in the event of the poaching. so "blacklist"
mircea_popescu: incidentally - nothing is said about how marc andreesseen had to be rescue-married into old wealth to maintain the pretense of relevancy cca 2006 ; nor how zuckerberg's ~only noteworthy initiative (free basics, trying to turn the third world web into a sort of
apple store) utterly failed, rejected EVEN BY INDIA
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the less generous one is as set out in "
apple could buy russia"
