India thinks it knows more than Apple or Google about smartphone security
Hundreds (thousands?) of people create the updates. Tens of thousands review the beta versions. Millions of lines of code. I don't understand how any government can review such updates and pass judgement on them. Will this delay updates only in India, or all across the world?There is also a consideration that the government could introduce mandatory screening of major operating system updates, before they get issued to user devices.
I want the programmers I'm paying to improve software, not to explain things to political science majors.

Has Cook created more than three or four times the value of the highest paid players in baseball? I think so.

Apple Silicon iMac & MacBook Pro expected in 2021, 32-core Mac Pro in 2022
Perhaps Apple sees a different playing field. My Activity Monitor shows 3020 threads and 794 processes. I have no idea what those all are doing! Maybe 12 of 16 cores can handle that load, and leave 4 to be purely devoted to my application of the moment.dewme said:even small amounts of non-parallelizable code has a serious negative impact on the attainable speedup that can be seen with any number of processing units/cores (Ahmdahl's Law). This doesn't mean that speedups aren't possible, it just means that unless your code is well above 90% parallelizable you're going to max out on performance very quickly regardless of the number of cores. For example for 90% case, with 8 cores you'd get a speedup of 5 over a single core
