Why renewables? These guys don't have an energy problem. The states have made sure give them energy credits and other assurances on that. The problem they do have though is siphoning the water from everyone around them.
Microsoft actually has a design for mini datacenters that stay cool in the ocean and collect tidal energy. But it's way more fun to have states trying to court you into building datacenters cause it'll bring some jobs.
The 'problems' 1password faces... Apple has solved. I quit using 1password around 3 years ago, but at the time they were going all in on SaaS and quietly memory-holing the local-first vault approach that people were using them for. You know, letting people reference a sqlite db on icloud, google drive or whatever and that can be synced. 1Password cites credential leakage and security as a reason for for not implementing MCP, but they're giving the impression that MCP is the issue. Mind you, 1password has a very similar model to lastpass, that had 16bln creds leaked.
But seriously, Apple is actually in a better position to let mcp into their services if they wanted. The user credentials are all bound to your physical devices, which in turn cooperate to give a measure of identity to you. You don't need to let MCP have full access to everything, the secure enclave can generate short-lived certs. I'd be surprised if passkeys weren't able to do that already.
Glad I had the inkling to hoard gallons of fresh water and canned anchovies just this past week. I'm in Seattle btw, I remember this year we had a power outage the neighborhood people spent the entire week huddling around a fire in the culdesac.
And if the earthquake doesn't scare them, the volcano that triggers will. And if they're still not prepared, there's also the tsunami.
So technically the OS is supposed to be handling this, or at the least whatever app you're in is supposed to signal the MIME to the pasteboard. They even updated the APIs for it this year. I'm not complaining, just giving away loose headsup that they might rugpull you. Apple is particularly not a fan of oblique data transformations, especially since malware keeps going after the user's pasteboards.
Something worth implementing is multiple layers to the pasteboard content, so you're at least maintaining the original raw bytes. That and I always wanted a pasteboard that let you append contents to it. Just some ideas to consider
Thanks. I just released a new version with UTI based MIME type detection as the primary method with a fallback to the existing content-based detection.
These same CEOs still don't realize that AI is very suited to replacing executive roles and outperforms your average CEO in every aspect without the human downsides. Shareholders would be way more interested in having a static board of AIs running public companies than replacing lowly workers that frankly will always be relatively cheap.
On the same coin, a lot of government can probably be performed by AI as well. Reminds me The Matrix where humanity delegates all governance to AI/machines
Replacing a CEO would save a lot less money than replacing even a small percentage of workers.
The typical CEO of a F500 company makes $17.7 million compensation. That might seem like a lot, but it's only about 0.04% of the average F500 revenue, which is $42 billion.
On the other hand, the average F500 has about 65000 employees and payroll expenses can easily be upwards of $5 billion. About 300 times as much money is spent on employees than on the CEO!
Why do you think these CEOs do not get that? If you can be replaced by AI and it shows better value/risk I am sure you will be in the job market. As long as AI isn't trusted the cost of a CEO to a company is small compared to scale of the company.
It’s like trying to study the effectiveness of antivirus. But you already said it. As long as it produces consumable metrics a c-level can ingest, then it’s worth it. Because really, how does it make sense to add something so invasive? Anyways in the 90s, antivirus makers also wrote viruses. They’d go on to flood networks with their creations, but magically block infection for their subscribers.
And Saudi Arabia maintains several pieces of land w/ water rights to import & extract water as alfaalfa. You’d think they’d leverage their oil and build out desalination plants
The Washington state tax package was to coerce Boeing to stay. To which to ate it and proceeded to move its HQ to Chicago and migrate manufacturing to North Carolina. WA state != US gov. Contrast Microsoft to Boeing. Taxpayers dob’t have to feed Microsoft to get them to work on public works. They are self-motivated to improve their environment, which in turns improves the quality of life for their workers and the residents.
Then go the opposite route. South Korea fines companies thousands of dollars every day a vulnerability isn't fixed. Security is one of those areas where negative reinforcement works better than positive reinforcement.
Sure, I'd be fine with that but that's going to have knock-on effects on developers because they're the ones writing the code and therefore the vulnerabilities / bugs. Software engineering would turn into something like civil or aerospace engineering or medicine where where practitioners are required to be certified in various ways, either they or their employers carry liability insurance for bugs they write, and endure onerous processes / audits that their employers and insurers demand of them to reduce the risk of bugs. That I'm fine with too since there's so much crap code being churned out but most software developers probably wouldn't.
