Just a few hours ago, I was trying to find the profile of an excellent swimmer I met at dinner yesterday. I knew his first name and the club he swims in, so I searched his name together with the club and "swimming" on Instagram without using the keyword club. Almost all the results were attractive girls posing in swimsuits, but none were actual amateur swimmers. The guy I was looking for didn't appear at all.

BTW, mi Instagram account is just a placeholder and I can't imagine an algorithm suggesting that content. It seems like a default suggestion.

This implies that the default suggestion isn't a data analyzed soup of what people of a given age / location / demographic / search text are most likely to respond to. Even if it is your first time to log on to a platform it is very much algorithm driven.

Offtopic HTML issue to the author: there is a trailing </head> tag at the end of your generated HTML after the </body> (instead of </html>).

I don't see it...the end of the document is:

        </div>
      </body>
    </html>

I updated it just now :).

Fixed it, thanks for pointing it out :)

That probably depends on your definition of a scam but I'd argue we need to resynchronize that definition. They are scams, because the people behind them know what they're saying is plainly false, and they exploit the explosion of digital networks (like ads) to spread those lies. In the 20th century, the channels for scams were far narrower and easier to pinpoint.

Take it with a grain of salt but 404 [HTTP error code] is not the best number to raise money.

Clearly Steve Wozniak was a very unique [technical and geeky] guy at that time. Thinking about interoperability at that time was prophetic.

I woldn't go so far as to say it was "prophetic". Contemporary DEC PDP-8 (OMNIBUS) and PDP-11 (UNIBUS / QBUS) systems have a similar approach to "interoperability", where cards for peripherals were also mapped into the machine's address space. It was great that Woz saw the utility of this and brought it into the homebrew/microcomputer design.

I understand that Steve knew about that but trying to create an inexpensive computer, working with hard trade-offs makes his decision very wise and smart. We can know about complex architectures but it might be very difficult to copy them in cheaper devices.

I think it was more driven by his own desire to not limit what future hardware hacking he wanted to do with this computer he just designed.

> Apple held about 9% of the global PC market in the third quarter, according to IDC. It ranks fourth in the industry, trailing Lenovo Group Ltd., HP Inc. and Dell Technologies Inc. — all of which sell Windows or ChromeOS devices.

I think it makes perfect sense, there's still plenty of room to grow here, and they clearly know how to do it. I'm just curious which specs they'll decide to cut or define. Even an M1 with 8 GB of RAM is still very capable today. I only hope they don't launch a new operating system variety for this, just the same macOS. I can't imagine a "macOS Home Edition".

Tablet market is growing while PC market isn't. iPads already outsell Macs on a unit basis.

Apple has a lot of room to grow at 9% even if the PC market is steady. I imagine a lot of students with Chromebooks and Windows PCs migrating. Again, the "old" M1 is still a challenge to cheap computers now.

An article mentioned that it will be an iOS chip

I assume you all know that Robert Morris is one of the YC (and Viaweb) cofounders? [1] Together with Paul Graham, Jessica Livingston, and Trevor Blackwell.

He also is (or was) an HN user. No comments in quite some time though. I wish he did post here more.

Karma of 195. I’d say more of a former lurker.

I did not know this.

I knew Robert Morris was the financier of the Revolution. I know it's a plucky university outside of Pittsburgh with basketball and hockey programs that punch above their weight. I know there's a pastor in Texas who is...in some legal trouble...with the same name.

Now I have another one to remember!

and his dad was head of computer security at the NSA for a while
