I think I came up with the idea about 6 months ago. It is on the back burner until I can find a way to mount the switches (Cherry MX Blues (had enough of those lying around)) [0] without resorting to a PCB. Any ideas on that front are welcome.

Regarding the number of buttons, the Space Cadet had 100 buttons and no number-pad [1], whereas most modern keyboards have 104 buttons. I suppose I could add a number-pad to my design (117 buttons), but then I could also use that area for extra user-definable buttons (20 buttons in a 4x5 grid -> 120 buttons). The Space Cadet is a bit larger than most IBM-style keyboards, so more keys means more real-estate; this is not to mention yet further divergence in design from the original Space Cadet keyboard.

Beyond hardware issues, there are software issues to resolve, like whether to include the macro functionality of the original. I can't find any documentation on how it worked, so I get to start from fresh.

[0] = I really wanted to use some hall-effect switches, but nobody makes them anymore, because they are allegedly the most luxurious switches ever. I would probably have to tear apart an original Space Cadet keyboard to get some. Thus, I would probably just use Cherry MX switches

I upvoted your comment for the meta-irony
$399 for the 16GB version? Seems pretty affordable to me. So instead of buying a used iPhone you can get a new one for the same amount of $$.

I disagree, i think you have way too many apps, videos, music, podcasts, documents, get yourself sorted
Not really. The products aren't upgradable or repairable by the end user, but as they demonstrated today, they are upgradeable (to brand new things like solar panels) and repairable by Apple themselves. I for one hate the idea of an end-user upgradeable smart phone. That sounds like a minefield of driver issues and the like that I just don't want. Its why I moved away from Windows in the first place.

I think it makes a great deal of sense to consolidate the upgrades and repairs - they can do it far more efficiently at scale.

JavaScript encapsulation for shadow DOM
I think it is better to have javascript encapsulated as css in shadow DOM. There should be an attribute in <template> tag to restrict the encapsulated javascript to access DOM, javscript outside of <template>
Question isn't consent here. Consent is part of what constitutes a contract, but you've clearly consented to their TOS. More importantly, their TOS cannot allow or compel a party to perform a criminal or tortious act. If impersonating you is criminal, then the contract is invalid.
Or "system expansion" as in the Mac SE which followed the Mac Plus with an internal hard drive and developer accessible bus. (It was followed by the SE/30 which was a great machine. Things went downhill in naming from there.)

You have to really not care about your industry to not recognize Georgia Tech or CMU, birthplace of some of the greatest technical innovations in the industry. Let's talk about how you hire HR people. I've never interviewed for another company (always run my own), but I'd never hire a HR person who didn't have a basic understanding of tech.
I was lucky enough to fly on Concorde in 2002, when they were offering steep discounts to get passengers back after the crash in 2000. It was clear at the time that the service was totally uneconomic. The seats were comparable to economy (although service was champagne and caviar).

I'll always cherish my memories of seeing the curvature of the Earth and the windows feeling hot to the touch (as well as my Concorde cufflinks).
This seems very interesting / surprising, comparing[1] SE and 6S shows SE doesn't have second generation Touch ID.

I know they don't talk about RAM and we won't find out until after release, but I wonder if this has 1GB or 2.
No, it means that everybody underestimated the demand for a small but powerful device and Apple realized they still needed to cater to that market.

The 6 series is in no way a flop and large displays will continue.

> But at companies who are employing the top 5% of the top 5% you will probably won't even make the first round of phone screens.

What are those mythical companies? Really, I'd like to know. Name a few.
I'm guessing it was just more efficient or cost effective to continue using their existing manufacturing infrastructure for the 5s body and only upgrade the internals, rather than adapt the 6/6s body design to the 4 inch size.
Sendgrid and Postmark IMHO.
399??! L M A O
I could have upgraded a few months ago but held out as rumours of this phone have been around for awhile. I'll be happy to upgrade as I suspect the iPhone 7 will be a 4.7 or 5.5 and those are just too big for me.
> but it shatters the notion that strong commercial encryption has left no opening for law enforcement and hackers

Not sure what cave this guy was living in, unless he's using 'strong' literally (in which case the statement is wrong).

Biggest reason not to trust 'consumer-grade' encryption is that consumers aren't under constant attack, or aren't aware if they are. If I buy a car, I know when it breaks down. Consumer Reports can say if it sucks. There are way fewer 'educated consumers' for encryption technology.
The community loves to tout all the medicinal virtues of the drug -- and those are legit -- but they often have a stance that these somehow trump any other reality associated with putting a strong chemical into your body on a regular basis.

I've read some studies recently that show that habitual marijuana users are at heightened risks for stroke and that THC does in fact cause accelerated brain cell death (and so does alcohol). Hopefully responsible users will understand that many things can be really great if only in moderation.
You're probably already aware, but there's a nice feature on the 6s and 6s plus which somewhat handles this: double touch the home button (without pushing it down) and the screen moves down by half, leaving only the top half of the screen visible. Makes it a lot easier to reach options located at the top of the screen.
How does the Android Battery tool work, and why should developers care?
No iPhones have ever had an SD card slot. So you are comparing iPhones to phones made by other companies with other operating systems.
Report looks at the quality of software in 2016
A big part of Apple's product appeal is the ecosystem, and a big part of the ecosystem is that amazing features simply work, and work well. They don't have to be configured or hunted for. Taken a step further, the problems some of these new features solve don't even have to be fully apparent to the user.

To that end, Apple improves their ecosystem by making good features standard. Tim Cook mentioned that there were 1 billion Apple devices in circulation. How many of those do you think have users that were even aware of the existence of those two apps? Or even the problem that they address?

I'm not a fan of any bigCo squashing innovative software (and I'm certainly not defending it), but there's no question that in cases like this bringing that feature into the fold leads to a better user experience across the board. To those of us who knew the circumstances it might be cringeworthy, but for the other 98% of users it's just another advance in a progression of features that keeps the ecosystem's user-experience better than any other.
That interpretation of his words is taking the principle of charity to the point of distortion.

Advice given on how to hire and keep a programmer
"Contractor" can mean, entrepreneurial person who's made a career helping a range of companies who's internal developers couldn't get the job done.

Or it could mean, someone that a company took on with a day-rate because they needed a warm body, but didn't want to actually hire them either, in case someone better came along.

Or anything in between.
It seems to me like Apple almost wants you to charge your phone almost daily... I do not know... I do not see the reason for them too keep slimming their phones when it noticeably affects the battery. I kinda dislike their attitude. Expected to do the same as they did with laptops, for example, where MacBook Pro came so light and thin that I was like, it's a little heavier than Air and a little thicker, but hell it works better! They didn't sacrifice anything at brought amazing performances both in terms of raw computational power and battery life. What bugs me is that iPhone SE got thinner... WHY?! Why Apple didn't fill that space that saved by battery... Nobody would say, HEY CHANGE IT! Never enough battery power
WIND Mobile. The plan isn't offered any longer but there are similar ones available.

I just finished the work today of migrating from Mandrill to SendGrid. I can't speak for the other providers, but so far it has been a fairly painless process. The client libraries for Node are similar enough between the two that I didn't have to put a ton of thought into refactoring.

> I will replace my iPhone 5 with one of these.

I probably will too (currently on an iPhone 5) given that my current strategy is to replace my phone every 2 years by buying a refurbished model with 12 month warranty for ~£150 from eBay. I usually get ~£50 or so for each old phone so the physical phone only costs me £4 a month.

4GB data (4G), unlimited texts and unlimited minutes for ~£20 a month here in the UK. Was always amazed at the price of plans in the US, luckily I never had to pay my own bill when I lived there.
This was a very different branch of Google than Search. The email was from Jared Cohen, who I had to look up to verify that he even worked at Google (apparently, he left the State Department in 2010 to become a director at Google Ideas). I never saw so much as an email or presentation while I was at Google; my understanding is that he operated in a siloed part of Google (now Alphabet) whose mission specifically was to spread democracy across the world:

I thought Apple wasn't quite for "average consumers" though.

Again, I used to bring Apple as an example of good, minimum-BS, no exaggerations, well though out marketing. "Your iPhone is beautiful. Give it a complement." Nice, to the point, with a neat pun (complement, as in accessories).

The phrase about the camera is awful. I don't know why I'm getting downvoted so much.
Apple's iPad Pro page missing transparencies on all images [video]
Only Apple would launch a new phone that looked physically almost identical to one that has been out for two and a half years.

Similar to keeping the design language of the MacBook family the same across generations of the product, it's a reaffirmation of Massimo Vignelli's famous quote "Styles come and go. Good design is a language, not a style."
As indicated in the keynote, Apple views iPads as the future of personal computing. This was said multiple times by multiple people. I wouldn't be surprised to see the MacBook lines continue to stagnate.
The Touch ID module hashes fingerprints as part of its scanning process, so the representation of a fingerprint would be of limited use if stolen. In addition, the hashes are stored within hardware that is not accessible by the iPhone's processor, so liberating the hash from the phone would require physical access and sophisticated tools.
That guy really is something, serial entrepreneur indeed. Maybe he lost his mind during the dot-com bubble burst.
>The only way to prove this, though, would to find a planet that has no day/night cycle, and see if those organisms have any sleep behavior.

Deep sea hydrothermal vents provide this experiment on Earth. While the ecosystems are not completely isolated from our sun based ones, they are pretty insolated from it. Of course, to actually prove this you would need multiple, independent, evolutions of life with a day/night cycle and multiple evolutions without one.
They will milk the cow as long as possible, since getting cash is probably the safest path to high innovation by funding their R&D labs nicely.

In my mind the only innovation is to make software invisible, which would somehow lower the visible value proposition of devices.

I still have mine too. I wouldn't mind going even a bit smaller, since I spend so much time in front of a computer, which I use to get anything 'serious' done.
I lease a 2013 LEAF (in 2014). I've now got 17K miles on it. It is my first and only car I ever will lease. I did so because I want a larger range and I knew that such cars would be available "soon", but not soon enough. I also keep my cars for over 10 years. I didn't want to have a 80 mile range LEAF for that long. Thus, I was planning that by around 2017 I'd have better options.

I already didn't expect the Model 3 to really ship to 2018, and since I'm in Massachusetts, if/when we get them they will be maybe a year later than the west coast.

I have the option of extending my lease a bit, but I don't think it will go out far enough to include the Model 3. If the Bolt arrives and is as good as the Volt has been, I will likely get that instead.

FWIW, driving electric has been incredible. Quiet, smooth, and really get acceleration (100% torque when you step on the accelerator). We've got a dozen charging stations at work so I do almost all my charging there. There's been no maintenance cost on the car so far; $0 total in almost 2 years.

I think Apple doesn't want this iPhone to seem new. Otherwise you might get a bunch of people upgrading to the entry-level model instead of the more expensive iPhone 6s.
The level of documentation for this project is super-impressive, especially since it seems to be mainly a one-man effort. Great job on this, congrats!

Very skeptical this little company can go all the way with this. Look at how hard it is to get a new automobile company up and running. Tesla almost went completely bankrupt more than once.

I do think there is a need and market for faster than sound air travel. We have the technology to even minimize the sonic booms for over land travel.

Still, it would take an enormous amount of capital to get a new company up and running. I would love to see an innovated tesla-like company in the aerospace industry though. It's badly needed, IMO.

I just visited the iPad Pro page (http://www.apple.com/ipad-pro and YMMV right now) as any self respecting fan boy would, and discovered that all of their images are missing the PNG transparency that should really be there. How did this get missed in QA? Captured video to prove it happened.
I wouldn't mind something closer to the Nokia E70 (loved that phone), with a syncing to my google account for docs, keep and contacts, a modern camera and not much else. Yes, I use my phone for a lot more, but that's almost as much a bad thing as good

The E70 was my last not-smart-phone, replaced it with the original G1 (first android phone). It was great for taking notes, and imho was a better form factor than blackberry.

Put me in with the 'likes smaller (or what I'd call 'standard') phones' crowd. Props to AAPL for keeping a very pocketable chassis size in the line up.

I, too, am hanging on to an older phone (Moto X 1st gen) because there's nothing left that runs naked Android that's small enough. I feel like the pendulum has swung too far into tablones (never 'phablets'!).

I'm hopeful that either (a) Google comes around to making a normal sized Nexus, or (b) other high-end manufacturers start to ship pure (or close to pure) Android OS on some of their devices. We don't need no stinkin' TouchWiz/Sense/Optimus/&c crud.

Your failure to research the feelings behind this statement is obvious. Fingerprints on an iOS device are stored in the Secure Enclave, a hardware module on the device itself, used for checking fingerprints, answering yes or no to the question "is this the user's fingerprint?"

As for Apple Pay, your card details are used once -- exactly once -- to generate an obfuscated alias card identifier, again, only useable by the device.

There is no database. Fingerprint data doesn't leave the phone. No one stores your credit card details.

This example isn't really making use of asyncio. asyncio.run_until_complete() is a blocking method (note that you don't use await when calling it, as it's not a coroutine.) You'd want to use something like asyncio.wait() with multiple futures to achieve some concurrency.
