With more powerful competitors and increasingly rational consumers, the question is how long can apple play this game?


Are you suggesting that they are, as it were, doomed?


Apple will only truly lose the "beleaguered" label when they finally perish, no matter how dominant they become.


What makes you think consumers are becoming more rational?


I think sophistication of developer ecosystem and migration costs of moving code are important.


The real situation is: as long as relatives and friends have someone who can read and write in China, you can get a bank account with his/her help. In fact bank begs you to open an account.


Maybe PRISM is also caused by Huawei and ZTE. There is nothing about politics.


In fact, google cloud already be blocked by GFW. Many of AWS server's ip have been blocked by GFW. Only Azure can be used in China.


Yeah the article writes “They can either block gigantic swaths of the Internet (and face enormous backlash) or allow SNI to work” but I think China shows that depressingly the enormous backlash is a myth.


Things is not as simple as it looks. Some Chinese say the founder of 'Redcore' is officiallings. There cound be some collusion between the referee and the athlete, when he get his fundraising.


They need compete with www.sinovationventures.com.'Sinovation Ventures' has quite a few similarities to YC, for example:The founders like to support each other, etc


Kai Fu’s (famous for the ballmer chair) innovation works has been around forever, it’s not like China is lacking for YC-style tech incubators. However, they are all Chinese owned and managed without direct connections to SV.


There is HAX in Shenzhen, but it's focused on pre-crowdfunded consumer hardware projects. However, at their last building (they moved around 2016/2017) the space apparently interleaved the foreign cohort with a domestic intake they never talk about (to my knowledge) in foreign media. https://hax.co/

There are quite a few in Hong Kong as well. https://medium.com/whub/hong-kong-accelerator-and-incubator-...


Docker on a single host is good enough for my develop/use, but I don't know whether swarm like tools is ready for real multiple-servers on production.


I fully agree!


OSX/ios may not be able to tuned into an real-time systems for iCar(if it existed);and considering the quality of Apple's software in recent years,I would say:there is still a long journey.


>OSX/ios may not be able to tuned into an In a real-time systems for iCar

Wouldn't need to. You don't use your desktop/mobile OS for car controllers...

If you use it, you do it for car Media and other similar UI.

>and considering the quality of Apple's software in recent years

That's mostly bollocks. There were similar complaints ALL the years...


I heard cars use a network of microcontrollers because operating systems are not real-time enough (process timesharing).

They would probably only use an OS for the in-car display, like Tesla does (Ubuntu), which obviously isn't (shouldn't be) critical for the other functions of the car.


This has literally – literally — no relevance. No car would ever run a Darwin stack, except perhaps on some kind of user interface, where the demands are totally different.


Tks.
