When Richard Kerris was in charge of Apple Dev Relations, they made sure that the frameworks met developer's needs,
the API documentation was up to date, and they didn't compete with us every time an app started making a little money.
I miss those days.

The way this WWDC keynote only presented "new stuff you can buy from Apple",
I wouldn't be surprised if Xcode goes the way of iPod in two years.

If this is real, I hope that Apple fixes a problem that the Quest 2 has.
There needs to be two processors and GPUs. One to display the AR/VR content,
and another that provides a persistent overlay, showing status data and responding
to user movements.

When the Quest loads something new, the screen goes black, then there's often some
loading.... screen, then the transition to content.

This breaks the feeling of a unified experience. The overlay needs to persist when
the primary processor reboots. Just having a thread running on the AR CPU doesn't work.
It will always have to boot/reboot sometimes, going usually to black for a while.

I hope Apple thinks of that.

There might be 3,000 construction jobs, but not once the fab complex is up and running.
A fab has very little to do with "electronics". It is a hazardous chemical plant and the fab itself is but a giant machine.
Raw materials in, wafers out. And those raw materials are some of the purest, most potent chemicals available.
As far as providing "tech" jobs, the chip design work isn't being done on-site, nor is the design of the ASML-supplied fab equipment.
There might be a small workforce to do maintenance, but the goal of modern fab design is to have no humans inside the facility at all.

This is Intel getting free land, free infrastructure, and taxpayer subsidized workers.

Carriers want to saturate airports with 5G service because that's a domain of lucrative customers.
The "automated cockpit system" component in question is the ground radar altimeter.

When these precision landing radar systems were designed and deployed, flying into a soup of
competing frequencies at low altitude wasn't a design consideration.  

Considering the potential for catastrophe in a fault condition, involuntarily placing airline passengers
into carrier's beta tests looks like yet another money over safety risk that will bring all sorts of hand
wringing and finger pointing when an aircraft crashes short of the runway into a housing development.

But what's a few hundred lives when there's money to be made?
