They don't delete data, they just cut off your access to it.

How about just spinning a wheel on satellites? I know it's used for stabilization but why not movement also?

Steve Jobs

You can run skylights through a fiber optic cable and shine natural light anywhere now.

Pretty sure they had an agreement in place on that since Xerox didn't think it was a product they could sell. They actually invested $1M in Apple at the time to develop the products better.

There's no shortage of managers who still believe in man months. To them, less time at work means less work gets done. That's it.

I've never understood this perspective because how would drugs and mind-altering substances work? What about brain injuries that significantly change someone's personality? How does it account for how awful memory is and how it can't be trusted? Sure people have 3rd person perspective memories since they're summaries that are rebuilt on demand and differ over time. People can't even remember exactly what was said in an argument seconds ago. There's also studies showing how near-death experiences can be induced by low oxygen levels in the brain, and how in children they see people who are still alive since that's everybody they know. Also tests of people supposedly leaving their bodies fail to correctly see items placed above their head when they start to "see themself" outside their body. It is much better explained by proprioception and a faulty sense of "self" as related to the body. There are several illnesses stemming from proprioception not being exactly where it should be such as a feeling of living outside the body, having someone behind them all the time or constantly failing field sobriety tests.

My random guess is they're thinking of QNX which was famous at the time for running nuclear plants and other high reliability situations for years without reboots and being able to upgrade modules in place. The kernel had very few calls which would make it easier to vet.

The AI coprocessor or whatever they want to call them on the new chips are pretty interesting. They're seeing a lot of use for image and voice processing. I'm sure there's still a lot of novel uses to come but largely agree with your point.

Sociopaths drink it black. There's been studies........... I'll now assume that everyone drinking it black is secretly a sociopath. Just don't tell THEM that.

In the Candace Owens / Cardi B feud fake screenshotted tweets attributed to Candace were shared repeatedly by fans of Harry Styles and Cardi B. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.snopes.com%2Ffact-ch... This article also details how to investigate possibly faked tweets.

This quote has a deeper meaning that unfortunately applies to art and not patents. The full quote is:

Good artists copy, great artists steal.

Well actually there's an older version of it that goes

Immature artists copy, great artists steal.

This is probably what Steve was paraphrasing, which was based on an earlier saying

A good composer does not imitate; he steals

The basic meaning is that an artist should not simply copy the works of others but instead like Microsoft, embrace and extend the style. A great developer isn't going to spend all their time copying and pasting code off Stackoverflow, they'll understand a concept well enough to make it their own and apply or modify as needed.

Total earth-wide diplomatic immunity. She can do anything but eat. Well ok I guess she can eat mushrooms.

Nuclear gators.... this is how we get nuclear gators.

I had a friend years ago who was quite overweight. However I just couldn't figure out why. Whenever I saw them eat they ate the same as anyone else, nothing excessive. After a while I noticed he'd always let other people order first, so he could size his meal the same as theirs. One day after we had lunch together at a burger place as we were parting he excused himself to wash his hands.

This is how I found out his secret. He would sneak back and order more food. After eating one meal with me he went back and ate two more.
