Happened to me in about 4 or 5 months. Ridiculously crappy, quicker than the ones Lenovo and Dell ship even. I expected better build quality from Apple but given the heat and noise issues I have I don't really think I've seen it. First time I've been an Apple customer and probably the last.
what would be interesting for the iphone 7 plus would be to use the telephoto camera for a picture, and use the information from the wide-angle camera to improve the noise reduction in low light, I wonder if Apple is going to also do this (besides using it for bokeh)
I also use Apple Pay when available. The real killer features are health and safety. In the future, everyone will wear a smartwatch:

Apple made incremental progress on the health features today. Look at Fitbit sales:

Apple will be doing more to target this market.

Unfortunately now we're going to wear out the battery. I don't know which is better.
To me, the biggest problem with this move is that you can't charge the device and listen to music with corded headphones at the same time. Unless there is some option I am unaware of.

In any case, I just decided to replace my iPhone 5 with an iPhone 6s, which I should be able to find on sale.

Bluetooth is still an option
Why does HN find it so difficult to understand such a simple concept? Obviously people will download it for free that otherwise would have paid for it.
Well, they work... sometimes.
No audio jack - no iPhone 7 for me.

End of discussion.
Couldn't it be the other way round? Children that tend to obesity are more likely to require a cesarean section? One common reason to use a cesarean is with unusually large babies, for instance.
Dropping the DVD drive was also a pretty big thing at the time as there wasn't even a 'similar' alternative (another type of removable media the industry had switched to. In the past it seems when they drop technology it real does make the changeover period quicker. This time I'm not so sure it will but at the end of the day I don't think it matters. Most people use the headphones that come with their iPhone and they will continue to. Not to mention Beats has 60-80% of the headphone market share depending on who you believe so with Beats + EarPods + AirPods most people are covered.
consultants charge double during on-call hours. it's standard practice.
$32/month for the unlocked iPhone every year program from Apple is $384/year, close to $1/day.
I don't think the HN crowd is a fan of watches in general, and this doesnt seem like it will be the exception. The question is if in general people are going to buy this thing.
I tried to learn calculus a couple of times but always get stuck on integrals. I'm pretty sure when I was 10 I would also have gotten stuck there.

OP is talking about the controversial original iMac launch in 1998:

http://www.macworld.com/article/1133334/original_imac.html

"Considering all these amenities, the most shocking part of the iMac isn’t what it offers, but what it lacks. The iMac has no floppy drive, which might be forgivable if there were a Zip drive or other removable-media option, but there isn’t.

And most dramatically, this new consumer offering has no SCSI port, no standard serial ports, and no ADB ports. Apple has opted to replace these familiar connections with USB, a high-speed serial architecture that has suffered from slow adoption on the Wintel platform despite its technical advantages (see the sidebar “USB: Ready for Prime Time?”). Currently, no USB devices exist for the Mac."
> I would seriously move off iOS if I was making music with it.

Can you explain this?
I think the idea is to ban their use for purely profit reasons (though that leaves a loophole where medical care is claimed when the intent is just to increase growth of the animals for profit).
They are not for running. That was addressed as Beats plans to have the fitness models.
Yep. This is how my org does it. DevOps builds automation/tooling to help the operations focused developers on the dev teams do their jobs better.
I always disable third-party cookies and very rarely does it break something. The most recent one I remember is logging in at the Origin website (online game store). The login form at checkout doesn't load at all without third-party cookies.

While I would love to browse the web with all security and privacy features enabled and things like JavaScript disabled, it breaks too much. The middle ground between security/privacy and user experience/convenience is different for everyone.
Any good pair of wireless earbuds is around that price point.
This is only an inevitability because we do not control our software and hardware. It is entirely possible to replace most of these privacy-destroying technologies and services with privacy-respecting free software solutions.

You have to remember the original cause of synthetic marijuana use was making safer options illegal.

A large portion of people use Kratom instead of stronger more dangerous alternatives. Things like Vicodin, Oxycontin, and heroin. Regulating this will drive some users back to there harder alternatives, and there is no data that supports that this will make people safer. And it could make people less safe, not mention the issue with restricting adult's abilities to make decisions.
They didn't mention wireless charging, did they?
Because people will download it for free, who otherwise would have paid for it. Why is this such a hard concept to understand?
Plus, some people don't want Bluetooth on. Like me.
So we have to watch a Flash video to learn more. Oh - the irony.......
I have, it's great fun, the documentation is fantastic. Reminds me - I need to update my watchfaces to the new SDK this weekend!
I myself have about a thousand dollars invested in high-end headphones and earbuds (Sony DJ cans, Extreme Isolation EX-29 for the open office, Sennheiser earbuds for the commute) that I have no intention of replacing or buying a dongle for.
The latency of bluetooth headphones makes things like mobile rhythm games unplayable.
I don't want to give up, and I don't want to check out.

One thing to try, would be to lie more. We don't owe giant corporations the truth, but we especially don't owe them the whole truth. Never use your real name. Use fake addresses when you can. Use different email accounts for each site that needs one. Never use "social media logins". When you have to make payments, do so through Paypal or some other obfuscating service. Zealously delete cookies, and use whatever tech is available to help with that.

There are probably theoretical ways around this, "fingerprinting" etc. It might be like outrunning the lion, however: one might only have to be faster than some other prey, who happily stays logged into FB all the time even when ordering sex toys and vaporizers.
Why would they include a 3.5 mm adapter then?
Considering the shipping headphones are lightning it's that port that is the replacement, not wireless.
Did you ever ask about it during the interview?
> Tons of headphones obsoleted.

They do provide the lightening-to-jack adapter in the box for free.
Yes it is. Port complexity is real, especially with analog ports, and relative to what you can do with physical space in a phone package the space required for any port is significant.

While I decry the drive towards "1mm slimmer!" do consider that the 3mm jack is probably around 10% battery capacity in space usage on most devices. You might not be able to perfectly reclaim the space, but still, I would always prefer to just use a wireless headset with 5%+ more battery.
I hope it's really much faster. I use 2FA often, but found that the time it took to process and give me a code was longer than the time it would take to unlock my phone and generate the code there.
> Why would a person who had had a "Cesarean Birth" choose to eat more?

The described relation isn't between Cesarean Birth and choosing to eat more.
Does it work on the web even for the people that don't own anything Apple, maybe only an iTunes account? Because if it's not interoperable with non Apple devices and OSes it's going to stay small. Think of Google Docs working only on Android and Chromebooks.
I have a reasonable argument, but you're not listening. So I'm just going to stop writing.

If you're a developer there needs to be an explanation and a mediation if a conflict occurs. This is how business is handled everywhere. I am a developer that helps promote their business.

There is no where to call no where to write and to get a human on the other side. There is no appeal.

here's my problem and why I can't fit in either YC batch or YC Fellowship.

18 months ago, a small business owner asked me to solve a problem they have. They said they tried many existing solutions, and none helped. So, it turned out, it's the same problem I'm trying to solve for last 8 years, for my personal use; was put on the back burner, and did not think it has a big business potential. So, I've already spent so much time finding a solution in the past, and did not take me much time to find a solution to fit their needs.

fast forward till today, and I got alpha quality solution; working on it over the weekends. while working full time to pay mortgage and feed my family.

if I apply to YC, it means I have to quit my job, move to silicon valley (I live in SoCal) and moving away from my newborn baby, which is not practical, since we don't have family to help with the baby. and my wife on her own cannot take care of the baby, get groceries, do the house stuff.

if I apply to YC fellowship, there's not enough fund to justify quitting my full time job and focus on this company.

My only option seems to be to keep working on this product for next 6 months, putting 10-20 hrs over the weekend, and have slow progress.

I've talked to several businesses and they all agreed, they have the same problem, and they want solution right now, and willing to pay $200 to $2000 per month depending on features.

I wish there's a hybrid option, something like investment of 80K for 2-3% (similar to Fellowship, but more funds) and requirement to fly once a week to meet with YC partners and report on progress.
The EarPods leave quite a bit to be desired.
> Companies can still track me, my data's still out there.

I don' think this is right. When you were being a "luddite" you probably had less data collected about you, but you couldn't see that. All you can see is the cool tech stuff you are missing out on, so you feel that keenly.

I think the reason a lot of people give up their privacy is that they feel like they have lost it already, so they might as well "Get what they can" from it. I don't think this is the right way to think about things. Not every company is sharing data with every other company (yet), so each new toy/app/gadget you used by a different company creates a new entry in some database about you.
Enjoy your pebble, dude.

Edit: You just completely edited your comment. The old one was more amusing.
Bluetooth headphones outsold standard audio jack headphones in the US last month for the first time. This is perfectly timed.
It's not the only reason but it is a reason.

But that's irrelevant, it's a cost cutting measure with harmful consequences to the society as a whole. The regulations and producer prices should be adjusted to make small to medium scale farming profitable and stop the antibiotics madness.
PS/2 keyboards weren't on the way out. Apple led the way and pushed USB for a few years before it caught on.

According to the keynote, yes. I imagine we'll know more once it's released, the date for which hasn't actually been communicated.
Pros for wireless: no wires.

Pros for wired: better fidelity, no batteries to charge, lighter weight, more headphones to choose from, cheaper headphone options, no adapters to lose, can listen to music while charging.

Be bold.

It's not like they're shipping a free adapter. You could also use a Bluetooth headset of your choice that has a bigger battery.

Or you could just buy a different phone. It's their product, what is "acceptable" is up to them.

(Yes, the first part is sarcasm.)

"Most" people do a lot of things, but that doesn't mean that use of proprietary patent protected communication standards doesn't really hurt innovation and customers in the long term.
This would be a thing in both ears, and a very unobtrusive thing at that. So maybe not as jackass-ish as the usual standard.

And that's maybe not wholly something I understand anyway, but sort of feel bad about regardless. I mean, I do wear one [1] during my commute so I can listen to podcasts without wires all over the place, and I'm really hoping iOS 10's speech recognition via crappy mics is good enough that I can integrate voice control into my exocortex. Does that suffice to make me an asshole? Or does it require that I use it to have loud conversations about business things? Or what? I'm not all that sure I grasp the nuance here.

"I'm just fascinated by the fact that in 2016 there are still huge companies like this making their money on ancient tech that is insanely overpriced to the alternatives."

You're not wrong.

The problem with your point of view (which I share - it is also my point of view) is that you're operating on the wrong layer of abstraction.

These customers don't need a server (or a network or a SAN) - they need business objectives to be met - again, at a very highly abstracted layer.

You're thinking about technology and capabilities and features and configuration options ... and maybe you're even thinking about price ... but that's not the layer they are operating at. They need an airplane to be built. They need a mine to be dug. They don't care about LUNs or stripe sizes or jumbo frames. They do care about contracts and legal commitments and "synergy". And that's why they rely on heuristics like business lunches and enterpris-ey sales guys and CIA guys giving keynotes at RSA.

I don't like working at that layer of abstraction so I built a business that operates on the layer I like to work at.[1] But as much as I dislike the higher layers of abstraction, it would be childish of me to think they were "wrong".

[1] You know who we are.
Once it becomes widely adopted I doubt this will be much of a social issue. The value they provide is real. It's not some gimmicky thing. Tangled wires are extremely annoying and happens nearly every day I use them. Plus the wire gets in the way going jogging or caught on something with normal usage, etc etc. Lots of benefits to having wireless headphones.

Talking to yourself with a non obvious headset will always be awkward looking though.
The Nintendo and Apple Partnership Is Perfect for Both Companies
iOS is used by lots of musicians. Musicians use lots of headphone cables to connect music equipment. Even if they use lightning, they now can't use an iPhone for some music app while performing, output the audio, and charge it at the same time.
> : the companies that are in this situation should hire top-notch developers to solve the problem.

This is a simplistic view. You can even imagine that all the issues can be solved with free open source development but the organization works in a specific way and changing the way they work, in that scale, involves a lot of risks.
It's not opensource. I would have to rewrite it to open source it. And write some docs. I don't know if I have the time for it.

I can't release it in the form it is now. I'm really ashamed of the code I wrote a few years back :).
I can tell you from personal experience. When you have a baby or toddler who is curious about wires and quick about it, those safety features are very handy!
You know the replacements would be $29 for a 1 foot option and $49 for a 5 foot option. :)
Presumably due to the lag from bluetooth combined with the inability to simultaneously charge and output sound.
So, about the size of the current EarPods, except without the wire. Not sure I see the issue here.
Unfortunately, the game kind of died from the hand of its creator already. Sure, there is a residual interest from a small amount of people, but nothing like last July. It's also been tainted by the gigantic exposure it got at the beginning, so the community mutated a lot, and people are not that nice now.
This app has been a while in the making. It's a 100% brand new VNC client, exclusively for Hololens, compatible with all VNC servers I've tested. It does require a bluetooth keyboard, and a mouse is also highly recommended. With this, I'm finally able to ditch my laptop entirely -- OS X works great with it!

I don't see your point? Some demand may be limited by personal income, while some is limited by corporate income and so on. This will cause producers to focus on things that are more in demand, while bringing down the price of lower demand products.

But this is just demand/supply dynamics. I don't see how automation is relevant here since that is valid with or without it.

The backtest of the strategy I developed risks $10k to make $100k since 2013. It attains maximum drawdown if all three stocks (AMZN FB GOOG ) fall 30% because 3-1 leverage is used. But since it's an option strategy, you don't risk more than the $10k invested. Yeah there is risk, but GOOG AMZN and FB have a combined market cap of about 1 trillion. It could be modified to be more diverse but returns are less. The sharpe ratio fr the strategy (which is a way of quantifying risk vs. returns) is 2 vs .80 for the S&P 500 in that period.

This strategy could be a good way for someone with a small amount of money to make quick returns and then later move to a more conservative strategy.
