Remember to always read Daring Fireball's footnotes. Often there's real firecrackers in there and they bring me joy
That sic is for the missing sentence-ending period. I expect better copy editing from a $400/year subscription (soon going to $500) that keeps badgering me, every time I visit the site, to upgrade to a $1,000/year “Pro” subscription tier. But while I’m slagging on The Information for this sentence, the missing period is the least of its problems. “Additional details of the business arrangement couldn’t be learned” is some passive voice bullshit. What they mean is that Wayne Ma and Qianer Liu were unable to learn any additional details, not that additional details of the business arrangement between Apple and Broadcom are some sort of unknowable information — you know, like the answer to why I continue paying so much money to subscribe to a publication that annoys me. ↩︎
