|
45 <blockquote> |
|
46 <p>Tensor is an SoC, not a single processor. And so while it’s fair |
|
47 to call it Google-designed, it’s also still unclear which |
|
48 components are Google-made and which are licensed from others. Two |
|
49 things are definitely coming from Google: a mobile TPU for AI |
|
50 operations and a new Titan M2 chip for security. The rest, |
|
51 including the CPU, GPU, and 5G modem, are all still a mystery.</p> |
|
52 |
|
53 <p>Less mysterious: the phones themselves. I spent about an hour at |
|
54 Google’s Mountain View campus last week looking at the phone |
|
55 hardware and talking with Google’s hardware chief Rick Osterloh |
|
56 about Tensor. After all that, my main takeaway about the new Pixel |
|
57 6 phones is simple.</p> |
|
58 |
|
59 <p>Google is actually, finally trying to make a competitive |
|
60 flagship phone.</p> |

247 |
|
248 <blockquote> |
|
249 <p>But I remember having my spidey senses tingle last year with these |
|
250 awards so I did some digging into it. The first thing I noticed |
|
251 was you have to “pay to play” — that is, it costs $5.50 to sub… |
|
252 a single image with “discounts” given for multiple image |
|
253 submissions. Paying to submit images to a contest is not |
|
254 necessarily a bad thing but it always raises concerns for me.</p> |
|
255 |
|
256 <p>Next up was the judges — or lack thereof. In an <a href="https:… |
|
257 with Input</a>, the founder of the IPPAWARDS Kenan Aktulun |
|
258 (whose <a href="https://twitter.com/keakt">Twitter account</a> is protec… |
|
259 judges were:</p> |
|
260 |
|
261 <blockquote> |
|
262 <p>I asked Aktulun to share some details behind the curtains about |
|
263 the judging process. Though he wouldn’t say specifically who the |
|
264 panel of judges was for the 2020 winners, he said they were made |
|
265 up of a diverse cast of visual storytellers including |
|
266 photographers and designers.</p> |
|
267 </blockquote> |
|
268 |
|
269 <p>That’s always a red flag for me. Every reputable photo |
|
270 competition, from Apple on down, lists the names of the people |
|
271 doing the judging.</p> |

383 <p>Many may read the C.D.C.’s continued focus on masking and |
|
384 distancing as an acknowledgment that the vaccines don’t work well |
|
385 enough. Leaning heavily on masking and distancing is what we did |
|
386 when we didn’t have vaccinations. Today, such recommendations are |
|
387 less likely to succeed because they are more likely to be followed |
|
388 by those already primed to listen — the vaccinated — and to … |
|
389 fought and ignored by those who aren’t.</p> |
|
390 |
|
391 <p>Hospitalizations and deaths are rising in some areas not because |
|
392 someone didn’t wear a mask at the ballgame. They’re occurring |
|
393 because too many people are not immunized.</p> |

402 <p>A year ago, requiring masks as cases spiked would have been an |
|
403 obviously smart decision. Mask mandates <a href="https://www.vox.com/sci… |
|
404 2020, they were among the best methods we had to stop the spread |
|
405 of Covid-19. But masks were never meant to be the long-term |
|
406 solution; they were a stopgap until the US and the rest of the |
|
407 world could stamp out epidemics through vaccination.</p> |
|
408 |
|
409 <p>Now those vaccines are here. And the changed circumstances of |
|
410 summer 2021 call for new approaches. Any entity thinking about a |

411 mask requirement — from private businesses to local, state, and |

412 federal governments — should consider mandating something else |

413 first: vaccination.</p> |

828 <p>William Gallagher, reporting for AppleInsider:</p> |
|
829 |
|
830 <blockquote> |
|
831 <p>In a note to investors seen by AppleInsider, investment firm JP |
|
832 Morgan Chase’s China office has reported to its clients that Apple |
|
833 intends to introduce a titanium alloy to the iPhone for the first |
|
834 time. Apple has already used titanium in some Apple Watch models, |
|
835 for the physical Apple Card, and at times for the PowerBook.</p> |
|
836 |
|
837 <p>Titanium’s toughness, though, is only achieved when it used as |
|
838 part of a titanium alloy with other metals. Titanium is also prone |
|
839 to smudges from fingerprints, and its finish can be unattractive. |
|
840 Apple is therefore certain to be using an alloy, and it presumably |
|
841 addresses these issues.</p> |

865 |
|
866 <blockquote> |
|
867 <p>The first person charged under Hong Kong’s national security law |
|
868 has been found guilty of “terrorism” and “inciting secession”, in |
|
869 a landmark case with long-term implications for how the |
|
870 legislation reshapes the city’s common law traditions.</p> |
|
871 |
|
872 <p>Former waiter Tong Ying-kit, 24, was accused of driving his |
|
873 motorcycle in July last year into three riot police officers while |
|
874 carrying a flag with the protest slogan: “Liberate Hong Kong, |
|
875 revolution of our times”, which prosecutors said was secessionist.</p> |
|
876 |
|
877 <p>An alternative charge of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily |
|
878 harm was not considered in Tuesday’s widely anticipated ruling, |
|
879 much of which has hinged on the interpretation of the slogan. […]</p> |
|
880 |
|
881 <p>The ruling imposes new limits on free speech in the former British |
|
882 colony. Pro-democracy activists and human rights groups have also |
|
883 criticised the decision to deny Tong bail and a jury trial, which |
|
884 have been key features of Hong Kong’s rule of law.</p> |

948 state Internet censor, Roscomnadzor, had attempted to block the |

1232 <p>From a good roundup of security updates announced at WWDC last month,… |
|
1233 |
|
1234 <blockquote> |
|
1235 <p>To ensure iPhone users who don’t want to upgrade to iOS 15 |
|
1236 straight away are up to date with security updates, Apple is going |
|
1237 to start decoupling patches from feature updates. When iOS 15 |
|
1238 lands later this year, users will be given the option to update to |
|
1239 the latest version of iOS or to stick with iOS 14 and simply |
|
1240 install the latest security fixes.</p> |
|
1241 |
|
1242 <p>“iOS now offers a choice between two software update versions in |
|
1243 the Settings app,” Apple explains (<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/… |
|
1244 update to the latest version of iOS 15 as soon as it’s released |
|
1245 for the latest features and most complete set of security updates. |
|
1246 Or continue on iOS 14 and still get important security updates |
|
1247 until you’re ready to upgrade to the next major version.”</p> |

1336 <blockquote> |
|
1337 <p>If you’re an iPhone user, the weather is always a particularly |
|
1338 nice 70 degrees. Or 68 degrees. Any temperature but 69 degrees, |
|
1339 actually, because it turns out that the built-in weather app on |
|
1340 some versions of iOS — including the current version, iOS 14.6 �… |
|
1341 if the actual temperature in a given location is, in fact, 69 |
|
1342 degrees, along with several other (less meme-able) numerals like |
|
1343 65 and 71 degrees.</p> |
|
1344 |
|
1345 <p>It’s not clear if this is a bug or an intentional attempt from |
|
1346 Apple to cut down on 69-related humor. The rounding is only |
|
1347 visible in the weather app itself: clicking through to Apple’s |
|
1348 source data from Weather.com will show the proper temperature, as |
|
1349 do Apple’s home screen widgets. But the iOS weather app will |
|
1350 refuse to show 69 degrees anywhere in the forecast, whether it’s |
|
1351 for the current temperature, the hourly forecast for the day, or |
|
1352 the extended forecast.</p> |

1362 converts to 68 degrees Fahrenheit, while 21 degrees Celsius |
|
1363 converts to 69.8 degrees Fahrenheit — which rounds up to 70 |
|
1364 degrees Fahrenheit. The app appears to have similar issues with |
|
1365 temperatures like 65 degrees (where 18 degrees Celsius converts to |

1476 <p>Over the past several releases of MacOS and iOS, Apple has |

1481 of cruft”; I see parallels in a “junk drawer” approach that |
|
1482 prioritizes the appearance of simplicity over functional clarity. |
|
1483 It adds complexity because it reduces clutter, and it allows UI |
|
1484 designers to avoid making choices about interface hierarchy by |

1485 burying everything but the most critical elements behind vague |

1486 controls.</p> |

1488 <p>If UI density is a continuum, the other side of chickenshit |

1489 minimalism might be something like Microsoft’s <a href="https://en.wik… |

|
1491 loosely grouped by function, and separated by a tabbed UI |
|
1492 creates a confusing mess. But being unnecessarily reductionist |
|
1493 with onscreen controls also creates confusion. I do not want |

|
1700 Revenue and profits are <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/27/tech… |

1701 months. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, is worth $1.6 trillion. |

1702 Google has rooted itself deeper and deeper into the lives of |

1703 everyday Americans.</p> |
|
1704 |

1705 <p>But a restive class of Google executives worry that the company is |

1710 leaving and letting everyone know exactly why.</p> |

1711 |
|
1712 <p>Fifteen current and former Google executives, speaking on the |

1713 condition of anonymity for fear of angering Google and Mr. Pichai, |

1725 <p>Here’s one of the examples cited by Wakabayashi:</p> |
|
1726 |
|
1727 <blockquote> |
|
1728 <p>A common critique among current and former executives is that Mr. |
|
1729 Pichai’s slow deliberations often feel like a way to play it safe |
|
1730 and arrive at a “no.”</p> |
|
1731 |
|
1732 <p>Google executives proposed the idea of acquiring Shopify as a way |
|
1733 to challenge Amazon in online commerce a few years ago. Mr. Pichai |
|
1734 rejected the idea because he thought Shopify was too expensive, |
|
1735 two people familiar with the discussions said.</p> |
|
1736 |
|
1737 <p>But those people said that they had never thought Mr. Pichai had |
|
1738 the stomach for a deal and that the price was a convenient and |
|
1739 ultimately misguided justification. Shopify’s share price has |
|
1740 increased almost tenfold in the last few years. Jason Post, a |
|
1741 Google spokesman, said, “There was never a serious discussion of |
|
1742 this acquisition.”</p> |
|
1743 |
|
1744 <p>One former executive said the company’s risk aversion was embodied |
|
1745 by a state of perpetual research and development known internally |
|
1746 as “pantry mode.” Teams will stash away products in case a rival |
|
1747 creates something new and Google needs to respond quickly.</p> |
