I see it as a rather significant error on their part. And to be honest, I am not quite sure why there has not been a massive revolt by app developers, content creators, and companies in general.

With the OS taking up a huge chunk of that 16GB and basic functionality like messaging taking up another 700MB-1.5GB, and not even counting photos and videos than can almost take up infinite amounts of storage; little is left for actual music, movies, apps, and other content.

Tinder alone is basically a 1.5 GB app. If you want to watch a movie and it's another 1 GB. If you want a decent sized music selection you are down another 5-10 GB. With every damn poorly coded app being around 100 MB you quickly run into situations where people with 16 GB are having to make choices and are dissuaded from purchasing Apple music and video content, let alone purchasing apps and playing games. Apple is essentially cutting into various app developer revenues by introducing artificial limits.

I, as a 16 GB iPhone user, would not be able to download or keep various apps on my phone that would be available for use if I had to trade off with taking pictures of my life. So app developers are losing out on revenue because Apple is putting these artificial limits on things for utterly retarded reasons. Please, someone provided me a single rational and irrefutable argument for there even being a 16 GB version, let alone a 32 GB one. Do you want people to buy Apple content or not, Apple. Do you want app developers to make money or not, Apple. I suspect apple is going to screw around again until their retarded greed leads to innovation that results in them having to buy some shitty company for 3.5 BILLION dollars again ... Beats. It's far less obvious how that would happen, but the effect they are causing is still there, pent up, who knows how it will burst free.

Stop being assholes, Apple, let people have enough space so they can actually use your ecosystem's products services without having to make hard trade-offs. You greedy bastards.
I was hoping (against hope) for an @3 display. Sniff.
People are just going to use throwaway emails.
No, I didn't ask you to feel bad for them. I only pointed out that there is at least some symmetry in the situation. I don't know where you got the very odd idea that pity is/should be involved.

There is no reason that you can't have a mature interaction with a company where you both agree to invest some time and effort in a process that could benefit both of you. If it looks like a bad risk to you, don't go. If you are doing a competent job of this, you should know what an interview process looks like before you agree to the interview. If there are aspect of it you aren't sure about, you should ask about them. If their reasoning doesn't convince you - respectfully decline the interview.

The most valuable thing about an interview process is an exchange of information. Thinking about it too much as a time-for-money trade off can miss this point. Of course, if you can find a more time efficient way to exchange the same information, that's good all around.
Yeah, but the process to using "reachability" in my experience is always something like: reach for the button because I can totally make it, accidental palm-press on the bottom-opposite corner, undo mistake, try again with different hand angle, do it again, undo it again, then remember about reachability shortcut, double touch home button, reach button.
Apple uses a live streaming variant of HLS to stream their events. Since HLS is basically an Apple proprietary protocol it isn't well supported on other platforms.

Apple in one of their previous press events enabled support for the Microsoft Edge browser.
Maybe this is positively offsetting other bad news you don't know about.
I'm becoming rather impatient with the stagnating Macbook/MBA/MBP product category. Would very much like a lightweight retina Macbook 13" or larger.
I wouldn't say 3D touch is entirely a bad feature. I agree with the argument that 3D touch features are usually hard to discover (took me a while to realize you could press the keyboard to get a "trackpad"). Some of the features you get from it are nice little quality-of-life things though, like quick app switching. It will be tough getting app developers to decide to implement 3D touch features when it isn't supported by everything, of course.
Here's an idea: turn off ALL notifications by default. Make any notifications opt-in only.

I don't know what to tell you: this is an incredibly common complaint on Tesla forums, though "your mileage may vary" as people are proportioned in all sorts of different ways. Here is a thread that is particularly verbose and well-researched (showing comparisons to another car based on technical measurement specifications).

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/will-the-model-3-be-...

Though that person claims to have managed to have found a "comfortable" position with the seat moved entirely back: that doesn't fix the safety issues. I can also feel comfortable, but if I rock my head even slightly to the left it slams into the frame of the car, as the only reason my head fits is because some of the models have a divot in the top of the car.

I have a friend with a Tesla S (who is a major major fan of the company) who adamantly didn't believe me until we finally had an opportunity to go out to his car and have me sit in the driver's seat: he shut up pretty quick ;P. (He had wanted me to drive us to our destination, so as to fall in love with the car, but instead I ended up in the passenger seat with the seat extremely reclined, feeling only slightly claustrophobic.)
So THATS what it's doing!
I thought it was a bug..

It's okay, don't worry about karma. Some people are obsessed over it.
Mythbusters tested the sonic boom myth. An F/A-18 flew ridiculously low (200 ft AGL) before the window cracked with a supersonic flyby.

A sonic boom from a fighter jet above around 10,000 ft usually doesn't break any windows. In one case, a General flew a F-22 in supercruise just off the Florida coast at over 50,000 ft and nobody "reported" the boom until the media story ended up on the news.

For low level supersonic flight, what typically happens is the pressure wave created either overflexes the window pane, or the window frame isn't strong enough and the glass falls out.

For a larger aircraft like the Concorde flying above 40,000 ft they wont break windows. People complain about the noise.
I lost my phone once and almost lost it many times because I can never put it in my pocket.

Hope google adds smaller phones to their lineup.
this is a scam, they just try to get your data, you can't see anything for free, you have to give personal info and sign up first, which isn't free.

what is a crappy site like this doing on HN?
France is the size of my backyard. Of course the cost of infrastructure & maintenance is going to be lower.

That being said, yes, we are getting very bad price on that side of the ocean because of price inflation.
Technically, for 24 GB of RAM... since they keep the base 8GB that it came with, for your $600.
That's normal for Apple announcements. It'll be back up to previous levels by tomorrow.
Doesn't pull the left side in, though. No way I can use the Plus one-handed, even with that feature.

Unfortunately, I found even the 4" too large for completely comfortable one-handed operation. Shame I'll never see another 3.5" iPhone option.
At one point in New York, it was pretty routine for first class passengers on Pan Am to take a helicopter from JFK to the Pan Am building, which had a helipad on the roof. The service may even have been included as part of the fare. (This service was discontinued after an accident though, at least for a time, I believe there was still service to a helipad next to the East River.)
That seems great in theory, but many people still have really restrictive data caps on their plans, so I'm not sure we are quite ready for that model.

It would also suck if you had an app on your phone like a star/constellation map, which you only use every once in a while when you are out in the middle of nowhere... To have your phone automatically delete that app, then try to re-download it when there isn't any way to do so would be a pretty awful experience.

Works well for something like the Apple TV - I don't think it's good for phones yet.
Receiving emails isn't that hard. But that's not all you're getting into.

Sending them such that they don't get spam-canned is way more difficult than you're admitting. It can take months or years to get decent accept rates, all of which can be lost by a simple misconfiguration.

Parsing received emails if you want to do anything programmatic with them is also very difficult. The specs for email are vague, and even then many providers break them regularly. Want to strip quoted replies or signatures? Now you have a machine learning team, too.

Simply put, sending and receiving email is way cheaper to pay someone dedicated to the task to do. You have to get to a very large scale before it's worth doing yourself.
They didn't lost you - they already had your data. That's why the form is 3-step.

Most boring apple keynote ever. Seriously.
Same here in Germany, our mobile prices are ridiculous.
That's what I said about centralized computing rooms with big iron racks that charged per account for specific amounts of data served to dumb clients over a network. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft say they've never heard of these mainframes. I swear something looks familiar about their feature sheet, though.

Probably best not to give them any more ideas. ;)
> The issue with it is that supersonic flight (due to noise)

Actually it's with the technology currently in use with supersonic flight that there is this large amount of noise. It's technically possible to reach supersonic without the boom and NASA is currently working on it with some contractors. I hope it pans out well; I would love to be able to fly between BWI and SFO in 2 hours.

France and Austria, unlike Canada are very much dense so the infrastructure required to setup an LTE/UMTS/etc network is less costly.

To travel from Vancouver to the next principal Canadian city (Calgary), it requires 900 KM of driving and there's only really one metropolitan area of sorts between the two, meaning that you're going to be setting up cell towers that handle only so much traffic in a day.

As a result, to get service where you end up with just traffic shaping once you go beyond 6 GB (beyond that there is no real limit really), you need to go with a carrier that only services the larger cities. So in my case, my carrier services just Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, and Ottawa, which are fairly dense areas with a combined population of 18 million or so, or just about half of the country's population. Once I leave the city, I have to piggyback on to other carriers however.

Hence why mobile carriers suck in Canada because the bigger carriers do not want to eat into their fairly large profit margins. They can afford to offer such plans, but they simply don't want to.

For the record, I pay $40 CAD/month ($30 USD or 27 EUR) for unlimited North American calling and text plus the "unlimited" data use.
What about the SE doesn't appeal to you then?
It's obvious that Top Gear has some intentionally funny parts, but it's not obvious that they actually lie in order to support that. I didn't realize it until this Tesla thing blew up. Top Gear certainly doesn't broadcast that fact. I think it's reasonably misleading.
> The only camera you’ll ever need.

Apple, you are usually good at slogans and titles, but this one... At least three flops in one sentence:

"The only camera" - so no more Canons, Nikons and Leikas?
"...you'll ever" - so there will be no more innovation ever, even from you, Apple?
"...need" - so you are confident everyone needs a camera?
> Some of the features you get from it are nice little quality-of-life things though, like quick app switching.

You can quickly switch apps using 3D Touch? How?
I'm going to treat this like a real comment instead of a sarcastic quip.

The reason we go back to '2000 year old [not sure if 'misty' or 'mostly', both work in interestingly different ways] fantasy document[s]' is because there are universal truths about the human condition. The value of a statement is not in its newness or its antiquity; it lies in the truth of the thing being said. Brashly rejecting an idea because it is old has the same merit as rejecting an idea because it came from a woman - that is to say, none.

Robo-Recycling: Apple’s Liam Robot Is Ready to Take Your iPhone Apart
And throwaway salary info.
Seriously. People here are way underestimating the costs to develop and certify a major commercial airframe, especially across the multiple regulatory regimes inherent to international flight. You're probably talking about on the order of a billion dollars even if you're playing it cheap. If you want to start re-engineering components instead of buying off the shelf, that number will go uphill rapidly.

This is not a field that's amenable to "disruption". Cutting corners means that dozens of people plummet to their deaths, not to mention the abrupt end of your airline as their families sue you into oblivion. If you try to play this like Uber and flout the regulations, the FAA and EAA will ground and impound your gear so fast your head will spin, and rightly so. Even a test aircraft is a gigantic tank full of explosive fuel hurtling through the air on a couple flimsy wings. When things go wrong people die, and the FAA does not play games.

Airlines are an incredibly low-margin business in the best case, and supersonic airliners in particular are a very niche market and have immense operating expenses (to purchase and maintain the airplane and to slake its immense thirst for fuel). The Concorde's operators could never make it profitable.

Never say never, but this just seems like fantasy. Supersonic airliners are a problem domain that has been pored over by engineers for decades, six engineers are not going to pull a rabbit out of a hat and solve all the technical problems, then get it certified, then start an airline. Each of those is a problem that requires a national-scale corporation to handle.
This phone's naming convention (which at least seems better than the confusing iPad names: mini, Air 2, Pro, Pro) brings back fond memories of the Mac SE.
The bait switch "free" > "give us all your info" modal feels dirty.

Just because crappy "growth hacker" blogs do it doesn't mean you have to.
But being "illegal in the first place" almost always hinges on consent, at least in the case of crimes that have victims. (Victimless crimes obviously cannot hinge on consent because there's no one to consent.) I think you'll find it very challenging to come up with an example of an action that is a crime with a victim that doesn't involve lack of consent as an essential element. The only example I can think of offhand is statutory rape, and in that case it's only independent of consent because the victim is explicitly barred by law from giving consent.

In my hazy recollection turbotax once upon a time made it easy to see their own DAG, essentially an outline style index into their various interview questions. Now such navigation is obscured, ostensibly for "user friendliness" I'm sure. sigh.
So what happens when it's your first unpaid internship and you've been struggling for a while to find an entry level job? Is it okay to work for free under these circumstances?
I think an even better question is: Mind listing the technologies that are truly new?

So often I see the next great thing hype turn out to be a reinvention of an existing concept, or a slight rearrangement of concepts that are positively ancient. Sometimes this includes an incremental improvement over the past.

A lot of the velocity of "tech moves fast" is just backfilling tooling, features, concepts, and edge cases into the new language or framework.
The UX tactics on this are blatantly shady.

People deserve a trustworthy solution. This violates that immediately.
Have you considered gaining weight?
As someone who used to work at a startup that used Postmark to send alerts, I think its just easier for our small company of less than 12 people.

They provide a fairly easy to use api, and a graphical user interface to monitor sends, they automatically stop sending if a user requests so you don't get marked as span. Of course that happened to us twice, one time the user then inquired why they weren't getting the email alerts....

For us our public facing information website, was controlled by the business dept, not the same as our functional site, done by the engineering side on AWS (before AWS had mail...). So it allowed us to send from the main domain without being put right in the spam folder.

I used Mandrill for a small non-profit site, very low volume, so I'll be moving to probably one of these providers.
The difference between physical and psychological addiction is that things that cause physical addiction are actually addictive themselves — that is, using them tends to create dependency as a matter of course — whereas psychological addiction depends on the user's state of mind, and people without that state of mind can use them safely. You can be psychologically addicted to virtually anything.

When people point out that marijuana isn't physically addictive, the point isn't that people's psychological addictions aren't serious. The point is that they don't appear to reflect a danger posed by marijuana.
What does SE mean?
Force-press the left edge of the screen, then swipe to the right. It can take a little bit of practice to get a hang of it. I find kinda rolling my thumb works well to trigger it. Swiping all the way across goes to the last app, just partway opens up the app switcher.
I could have sworn the Concorde was still glass-breaking loud at 40,000. Reardless, NASA is working on getting rid of the sonic boom http://www.sciencealert.com/nasa-is-building-a-jet-that-brea...
The way data is sharded across machines, is done via predicate. So, in this case, the 2.4 billion occurrences only leads to a data of 2.4G * 8 bytes (uint64 id) ~ 20GB of data for us, on one machine; which is pretty manageable. Furthermore, each predicate could be further sharded to fit on multiple machines; such would be the case with say the friend predicate in Facebook.

It's hard to "prove" on a landing page, without going into design details, that you truly are those things. We do have a demo, with 21 million RDFs from real world data from Freebase, so you could play with the database, and get a feel for it.

We'll look into LDBC. Thanks for the pointer.
Forcing users to enter data like that to see the results, will undoubtedly lead to lots and lots of fake salaries in their system.

What impulse makes people think that comparing an isolated fact from something so multidimensional makes for an interesting contribution? Particularly considering this isolated fact is contributed to every tangentially related conversation, I really struggle to see the value in commenting with it.
Since you seem to love nitpicking so much, it's a Leica.
Out of curiosity what use did people find in a barometer?
Data from an actual Concorde flight shows slowdown-to-land of around 45 mins, so around the same as a regular flight.

I would be surprised and I'm curious too. I always assumed a barometer was how the iPhone measures flights of stairs climbed without expensive GPS calculations.
Thank you for this. I would otherwise have had to watch the event on my iPhone. Just curious, how did you find this?
Wouldn't it have the wrong sender address?

Or are they actually forging it? (and somehow not getting put into spam due to SPF/DKIM failing)
> While I'm sure you're right for your location, "Europe" encompasses not only ~50 distinct legal systems, but also half a dozen or so distinct legal traditions (with e.g. Common law, Germanic law, Napoleonic law and Roman law as the biggest traditions), which is one of the reasons I specifically pointed out that it varies greatly how clear one has to be about whether or not something is signed by an agent.

Of course. I mentioned I'm in Europe just to ensure that it's clear I'm not referring to any law that apply in the US, as this is what HN is most familiar with. Europe is, indeed, very diverse when it comes to law.
I'd really like to see this as well. I enjoy my Nexus 6, but it's at the upper limit of what I can comfortably use, and I've seriously debated whether I care more about screen size or one-handed usability, since the Nexus 6 sacrifices some of the latter for me. And people I know with smaller hands could really use something closer in size to the iPhone 4s or iPhone SE, which the current generation of Nexus devices completely ignore.
That's a cop-out answer.

You do it so you can get more emails. You do it because you use the slimy anchor-point tactic in your primary funnel.

Emails are important -- cool -- so just be honest with it. Make the field salary+email right away and don't bait-n-switch.
/r/leaves
Apple themselves use it to count the number of flights of stairs you climb. Google uses it in Android phones for faster GPS and for indoor location mapping.

I'm using it to forecast the weather by crowdsourcing billions of live atmospheric pressure measurements at Sunshine (https://thesunshine.co).

Other use cases are for migraine headache prediction/prevention and other health-related issues. The primary and most exciting use case however is weather forecasting!

Edit: Basically, barometers are useful for any altitude-related task, as their error margins for relative altitude changes are very small. Additionally, if you can filter out the altitude data as noise, you're left with atmospheric data, which has immense applications when crowdsourced at scale.
That said, I think Apple has too many devices now. I remember reading the book "Insanely Simple", in which the author lauded how simple Apple's lineup was. While it's not too confusing, it's definitely going in that direction.

Of course, I am being hypocritical. The 5s is my favorite iPhone, so this new product is what I wanted all along.
Or "Second Edition" ala Windows 98 SE.
Yup. I typically do these things with entirely fictitious numbers before (sorry Marketing Community Managers if I screwed up your results) to see the entire workflow and stopped at the email/linkedin thing. For me at least LinkedIn already has a really bad reputation for exploiting the crap out of your information so I immediately cringe when people try to link to it or use it (same with the Evernote business card scanning service).
