Unless you have lead walls, a ~1000 sq ft apartment should be fully covered by a single access point.

The problem in NYC is that there's just too much band crowding; adding more access points is only going to provide an improvement (if any at all) until everyone else does it, too, and then it's going to be worse for everyone.

We really need better solutions for extremely high-density deployment of competing WiFi networks.
Some strange data appears on this site, the second most popular for the full-frame D600 is a 2004 DX (notably bad) lens. No mentally sane person would ever commit such as sacrilege.

Didn't go further to investigate but this puts a serious doubt on the representativity of the data.
I definitely see where you're coming from when saying the tech /startup industry has moved away from being "adult". I get not wanting to be an Office Space cubicle farm, but there's a good balance between that and what we have now.
Besides 'using windows apps that weren't designed for a tablet' what exactly is the Surface's use case?
This seems like an easy problem to resolve. Revive the standards body for this protocol. Create a new group that will define the spec and schema, convince others to use this and you're good to go. Unless you need to remove elements, it should be pretty simple to expand on what's already there.

To me it doesn't make any sense to bemoan that it is in XML.. so what. It includes a schema and can be validated. That's a good thing. Don't throw json into this.
I'm not convinced that I suffer from this but for years now I've enabled subtitles/captions in order to follow along. Helps with ambient noise, accents in the dialogue, otherwise inaudible dialogue, plus sometimes there's interesting ad-libs/changes from original script.

Ok, spin it your way. Admittedly, I've already made up my mind as to which is the less disastrous option
Its not an $80 VR headset. The thing that goes around your head is $80, but the expensive part is that phone which you put in the front, which needs a 1440p display (minimum) to avoid the screen-door effect.
Because it's not new technology.
I don't understand your point. I was responding to this:

Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchio who resisted NSA spying is out of prison

Nacchio's imprisonment has nothing to do with NSA spying; it has to do with his efforts to bilk Qwest shareholders out of their money. Those efforts are well-documented.
Thanks! The answer appears to be: nobody uses them.
There are lots of applications of blockchain tech and the law. For example, property registers relating to land transactions are an obvious use case.

Likewise smart contracts. I wrote an article about this in the Journal of the Law Society of Scotland which you may find interesting: http://www.journalonline.co.uk/Magazine/61-2/1021297.aspx
All phones sold at Apple stores are unlocked, but they come with an unactivated carrier SIM. I purchased an iPhone 7 (t-mobile), then popped out the SIM and put in my old AT&T sim. No problem. I suggest just buying the t-mobile device and doing the same, if you're looking for a GSM device.
60 inch?! You could be (virtually) in the stands at the game!
That 712 minutes is probably as much as I will talk on the phone for the entire time I own it.
You can get quite far with TypeScript. RxJS, Cycle, and xstream (all functional libraries) are built on it and its source code doesn't use classes at all. It's no PureScript but there's no need to conflate it with OOP.

Can a 2 degree increase in heat be used to generate electricity?
My hope is for an alternating fall/spring release schedule. New flagships for the large and extra large market every September/October, and a new medium sized phone built around the same innards in March/April.

"Small" designation deliberately omitted. That's what I'd call the iPhone 1 through 4S, but it doesn't seem likely that we'll get any new ones.
Maybe they concluded that this is fair to use and that's why they didn't have any argument beyond posting the ICANN rules for us.

The Kinect is truly giant in computer vision/hobbyist circles. Your metaphor may be good, but not for the reasons you mean - I think gaming won't be impacted, but industries will be.
Thank you! So nice to have hard numbers.

Of course with proper scheduling, this worst-case could be chipped away to get better numbers. The best case is nearly zero deadheading (with likelihood of nearly zero). Some kind of curve could be constructed? I'd love to see that too!

I suspect the frequency at which zoom lenses appear at the top of the data is in part related to their inclusion as 'kit' lenses. I suspect that it is also in part a natural consequence of their versatility.

By which I mean that because a 24-105mm zoom can be set to a suitable focal length for everything from landscape to portraiture to a bit of sport, in aggregate it will be used for more pictures than any of the prime lenses one would use in each of those situations.

To put it another way zooms that cover wide angle to telephoto get used because they're really useful. Particularly when taking pictures under uncertain conditions. Any lens suitable for one of those conditions will stay in the bag in other contexts.

I don't know any more about this than you do; I'm learning about it from the same Reuters story. But according to the story, the decision to implant the backdoor wasn't discovered by Yahoo security; rather, the backdoor itself was discovered, weeks after it was deployed.
You can blame that on publishers for not including the full content of their articles in their RSS feeds. When they do, it works perfectly. Most RSS feeds these days just have a sentence and the URL, if you're lucky.

I'm seriously disappointed in this.

Fortunately, I'm not feeling the need to replace my Nexus 5X yet. Maybe next summer when the Moto G5 comes out, I'll see if it's worth switching -- or maybe I'll wait until 2018 and get a Moto G6, but I'm not getting a Pixel.

And if some key apps I use ever end up getting ported to Windows 10 Mobile, I'll consider Microsoft for my next device. But that'll be a ways off: I rely on Lyft to get around, so I can't use a phone that has no Lyft app.
Unicode Technical Report #51, which is where Emoji are laid out, talks a bit about the current thinking of the committees on this:

> The longer-term goal for implementations should be to support embedded graphics, in addition to the emoji characters. Embedded graphics allow arbitrary emoji symbols, and are not dependent on additional Unicode encoding. Some examples of this are found in Skype and LINE—see the emoji press page for more examples.

> However, to be as effective and simple to use as emoji characters, a full solution requires significant infrastructure changes to allow simple, reliable input and transport of images (stickers) in texting, chat, mobile phones, email programs, virtual and mobile keyboards, and so on. (Even so, such images will never interchange in environments that only support plain text, such as email addresses.) Until that time, many implementations will need to use Unicode emoji instead

[1] http://unicode.org/reports/tr51/#Longer_Term
We need to hold the line somewhere. Preferably before corporate logos get into Unicode. I've seen Facebook and Twitter icons as Unicode characters in the user-definable space. This currently requires a downloaded font, but there's probably some lobbyist somewhere trying to get them into Unicode.

It's getting really complicated. There are now skin-tone modifiers for emoji.
I don't think he bemoans it. He describes how Apple themselves extended the protocol through XML itself towards the end of the article.

"Remember that the RSS spec is frozen, meaning that no improvements can be made to it, full stop. That said, RSS documents are written in XML, and XML has a feature called namespaces which can be leveraged to include data from multiple specifications in a single document. This allows one to create new specifications that could be used, not instead of, but in concert with RSS. iTunes did this when they initially added support for podcasts back in 2005, but little movement has happened in the intervening decade."
Reminds me of the original iPhone - it was an LG Prada ripoff. I'm sure you call all phones with a white front iPhone knockoffs.
To be fair, if you live in a masonry building or even a particularly thick-walled reinforced concrete building, you might have trouble covering all of the rooms of a 2-3 bedroom apartment with a single AP.

it is quite close to stock android and i think it is quite unfortunate that it is not actually stock android. your critique, while somewhat valid, is not of the oneplus3 but of google's applications.
So, you want to work at a start up?
What you described above, the "productization" of someone's death, is part of a bigger problem, where people are isolated from each other by technology and by a dehumanizing (and uncoincidentally technophilic) culture that turns people into appointments or tasks or problems to be solved or opportunities to make money or anything and everything more convenient and less difficult than, well, people. I could go on and on naming examples, but I think HN itself does a well enough job by self-selecting perfect examples to the front page every day. You're 51, I'm only 31, so you obviously have a lot more life experience than me (almost twice as much). But I think the fact that I'm already weary and wary of pretty much everyone and everything around me, including everyone and everything at HN, probably says something about modern suburban American culture.
You can always cut back geometry, etc. I like that Sony is requiring good frame rates.

The bigger issue seems to be game design. There are some things you just can't ever do without causing a huge chunk of people to get sick.
But that's different from saying "something usually only seen in expensive commercial installations". And it is still misleading, accuracy of some information has nothing to do with what someone is looking for (a self-contained, plug-and-play mesh network).
No. It comes with pretty much nothing but a nice little price break. You get a 3-pack for $299. The Eero 3-pack is $499.00. This is a serious price break in this market, which is currently over-priced. You can get 3 Ubiquities for almost $300. A lot less user friendly, but $500 for 3 units is holding back mass adoption.

Personally, for my home I need just two units. Shame there's no $199 2-pack yet. It would be an instant buy for me.

Intellectual Property is not real property but it's still property.
Agreed, i don't want it to do any of that. With that said, there are plenty of things i'd love to be able to use it for. Texting _(via Telegram.. app support, not just SMS!)_, remind/alarm, and information are my main ones.

Currently, i only use it for alarms. I'd love if Assistants became good enough to conversationally text someone.
Also note the near total absence of pro gear - no Nikon D3/D4 entries, for instance, still I would expect those cameras _on average_ sees a lot more use than your average D3100, for instance.

(Also, chances are they'd skew the lens numbers significantly - while kit lenses come and go, pro glass tend to live much longer before being upgraded. (The 24-70mm f/2.8 which you often see around single-digit Nikon bodies, for instance, was the standard zoom for 8-9 years before being given an upgrade last year)
> Copyright is a restriction on both speech and press.

Were that so, it would be prohibited by the First Amendment.

The California state protection of speech from government interference has similar scope, and does not prohibit copyrights, nor does it prohibit the state or subordinate public entities of or within the state from either enforcing state copyright law (which exists) or exercising copyrights that they own.
Most of the cost in infrastructure is actually caused by too many regulations in countries such as the US. It is estimated that current regulations increase the costs by a factor of 6-7.

When you look at Barcelona an how they build there it is obvious that they (currently or at least in the recent past) do not have that problem.

That's also one of the reasons why the Chinese can complete a large infrastructure project like a skyscraper in a few months while we need half a decade for the same task.
Last week we tried to launch an Android-first app at a major startup conference with 5000 visitors.

95% of the visitors (startups, entrepreneurs, investors, executives) had iPhones. We later confirmed this by looking at the network stats and couldn't believe it. In a country where Android statistically has 80% marketshare. The Android users loved the product, but we failed because we couldn't generate word-of-mouth.

For the target audience of the Pixel, this is an uphill battle.
The worst part about Medium is that it helps make terrible "Why You Should Use X Tech and Tech Y is Dead" posts by inexperienced people actually be read and posted on HN. In the mid 2000s no one paid attention to those.

Apple / iTunes actually supported Atom feeds last I checked. I don't think this is a matter of being beholden to Apple anymore, but the fact that this is what the publishers are doing. Given that it's unlikely that you will build an app that doesn't support RSS, it's not clear what a move to Atom would buy you.
Drop a Nexus 5x in the toilet, you're out ~$300. Drop an iPhone 7 in the toilet, you're out $0 since it's waterproof.
That's very naive given the specification in question. Atom was an effort to do this. The process created years of strife. And after all this drama, Facebook took over and RSS/Atom/et al became irrelevant.
Note 7: Huge screen. 5" is a practical limit for me.

iPhone: I want direct filesystem access and 3rd-party app stores, app sideloading, etc. Also, to not have to re-purchase the apps I already have.

The smaller Pixel is more interesting to me than either the Note 7 or iPhone 7. Of course, I've got a weird combination of requirements for phones, and they go against the direction that most of the market is headed, so I'd have to agree that these aren't likely to make a huge dent in the market. They're phones I'll be considering for my next upgrade, though.
>if Google Music hasn't launched in your country you can't listen to podcasts

This is such an Apple-centric way of thinking. Google launched their first podcasting app (Google Listen) in 2009. It was only discontinued in 2012 after there were a plethora of better apps in the Play Store. If you care about podcasts at all, you weren't waiting for them to be integrated into Google Play Music. You've been using one of the dozens of excellent 3rd party clients that have been available for years.
>You can't take your case to the public without being held in contempt.

I don't know about that, Yahoo has a pretty big platform they could use against the government.

Not that I'd really expect anyone to pick up that fight, but Yahoo is far from powerless here.
> Now, Google is no Samsung, but they're a long way from Apple [...] on the UX front.

Well, iTunes sucks, and it is pivotal in the Apple ecosystem.
I asked the same question and got downvoted to oblivion. In what situation would you watch netflix on this as opposed to your 60 inch TV?
The author says the goal shouldn't be happiness, but living a good life. I think that's right. As Aristotle put it, you want to live a flourishing life.

I think so many Americans get this wrong because our nation has so much more freedom than others, with countless options, so people can obsess about their decisions. Also for much of its history it has been growing economically at a rapid rate and so people could try to increase their happiness by increasing their wealth.

That's not really true. x86 emulation is a solved problem at this point, and Apple has shown willingness to use emulation to bridge an ISA transition in the past.

I think the real reason is some combination of (a) ARM isn't competitive (or only recently became competitive) at the high power/high performance point that Intel CPUs excel at; (b) the Mac line generates so much less revenue and operates at so much smaller of a scale than iOS devices that it isn't worth developing CPUs in-house for them, not to mention the fixed costs associated with undergoing a transition.
I was thinking more of a VR transition, where it is still a PC game yet they are hawking some custom hardware in the goggles.

So the next generation of consoles or so they release a steam machine with VR tools and their 'next gen' games.

So still PC, but packagable for console users

I had a similar journey although my prostate cancer was detected at age 42 by my family doctor during a routine finger-in-the-butt test at my annual physical. He thought it was “diffusely enlarged”, then PSA test (high), then biopsy (ouch!) revealed a 4+3 Gleason.

Like the author I had a radical prostatectomy but not robotically assisted.

Like everyone in our situation I was scared of the two I’s — incontinence and impotence. Luckily no sign of either one, 8 years out the plumbing is working fine.
The annual follow PSA screening is a bit scary, so far it’s always come back 0 but if there’s any PSA it’s going to be bad news.

All in all I’d recommend PC as a starter cancer — pretty treatable if detected early on and if you have a skilled surgeon you can come out of it fully functional. Age is a big factor, if you’re in your seventies it’s probably best to just watch it, for us young outliers it’s good to get it out.
If they did, they wouldn't be issuing these court orders.
