I carry my iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch, $300 headphones and $200 sunglasses with me everywhere. What's the big deal?

I've owned every iPhone from day one and use them without a case and without insurance. I've never had anything broken. I've never had anything stolen either.
With chamfered edges!
Pretty much. Originally, the Gnome developers told the distros that it wasn't a big deal because logind would run just fine with whatever init system they chose to use. The a few years later once this was deeply embedded in everything Poettering declared that this was never supported, the distros shouldn't have done it, and it would break in the imminent future. The major distros all switched in the next release whether they wanted to or not.
Infrared should pass through thin layers of clothing with ease.
No. They even brought up Spock and Evil Goatee Spock to mention that twins defeat it.

(I say "defeat". Schiller just said the chances of a false positive were higher with twins than the 1/1,000,000 base rate [compared with his claim of 1/50,000 for TouchID])
Well, I've been meaning to root mine and flash crDroid...
This is certainly the final push.

They state 10% of all Android devices are vulnerable and won't get patches, and since the vulnearbility is arguably wormable I can't see how these devices will stay clean.
Title is inaccurate, Windows, Linux and macOS are all affected.

> Microsoft is issuing security patches to all supported Windows versions at 10 AM, Tuesday, September 12.

> Information on Linux updates will be provided as soon as they are live.

>
All iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices with iOS 9.3.5 and lower, and AppleTV devices with version 7.2.2 and lower are affected by the remote code execution vulnerability. This vulnerability was already mitigated by Apple in iOS 10, so no new patch is needed to mitigate it. We recommend you upgrade to the latest iOS or tvOS available.
> Anywhere with hot summers: Sunglasses covering the entire eyes, making it impossible to see if you’re looking at the screen (which is a requirement for FaceID unlock).

I wonder if the IR sensor can actually see through the sunglasses?
I'd say that they already do. Most data is kept on device and whatever is sent to the cloud is end-to-end encrypted.
This was explicitly brought up by the presenter (though through the premise of an "evil twin" and a photo of Spock from Mirror, Mirror) and they said you should consider a password.
https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/17/16161758/ios-11-touch-id-...

Interesting twist. There was advice going around for protestors to disable Touch ID as cops need a warrant for a keycode, but don't for a touch ID. Not sure how accurate that is, but presumably you can disable Face ID if you think you're at risk of being shaken down by the police.
Wireless charging will only work if it's everywhere. This new iPhone (and all future models) will make sure it catches on.

McDonalds and Starbucks _will_ have Qi charging tables by the end of next year.
I actually think as a layman, that people just confuse opposites period. I've actually heard Japanese people say in Japanese, "other left" (context: contest with blindfolded driver getting directions from seeing passenger). So my evidence is that plus other similar occurrences, across cultures. I think some dyslexics may be trying to explain their experiences using something that isn't particularly diagnostic (though they have a real issue, opposites isn't the real issue) Like a heart patient who says "I hate climbing stairs" We all hate climbing stairs.
I have great resilience, my wife doesn't. I know enough to say that you just can't learn resilience (nor ask another person to). It's also a personality trait, resilient people tend to think about what could go wrong; my wife gives me weird looks if I put a raincoat in the car on a sunny day.
We seem to be at peak Apple year after year, as it continues to inexplicably churn out new products and rake in money. Tim Cook somehow keeps popping up on stage with something new, devoid of vision and utterly oblivious he's standing on the precipice of catastrophic decline. Again.
I use my phone for enough hours per day that I'm willing to spend quite a lot to get something that might be a little better.
So the guy that relies on exporting inflation so that his own government can print money at will and bail him out as needed is calling an alternative currency a fraud?
If you read the article he's not saying you should put up with bullshit but that the bullshit you have to put up with should not bring you down. The distinction is huge. I'm pretty sure that he'd agree with your point that allowing BS to accumulate is not a good way to live your life.
Maybe saving it for the iPhone X2. It could also have pre drilled holes for setting gemstones.
A young relative, a transplant to LA, says that it is because Angelenos have a more intimate relationship with their highways. No doubt your explanation is historically correct, but I like his.
> I see that as a hassle, not a feature.

I said this in another thread, but it really doesn't seem unreasonable to require your attention to unlock your phone, since it requires your attention in order to use it!

It really is the speed that will make or break this feature. If it's slow, forget it, if it's quicker than it takes you to move your thumb to the screen, then it probably won't matter to most people.
Just as not providing your thumb would.
iOS 11 comes with a nice feature to temporarily disable Face and Touch ID if you're ever in this type of situation. Tap the power button 5 times and that's it.
It can work, but for reasons different to our positive scientific understanding, no?
Why don't you just get a set of headphones (https://www.sony.com/electronics/headband-headphones/mdr-1ad...) with a lightning connector and a built in DAC?
Rumors say that Pixel 2 is dropping the jack as well, so it looks like many manufacturers are following suit.
Can you expand? Which particular change would affect your company? In no way should any of those changes affect a fast growing company. I doubt investors would be very happy if your founder was giving unearned dividends to family members. Your founder shouldn't be locking up capital in long term passive investments. Your founder probably isn't particularly worried about evading estate taxes.
Not yet, but it's the sort of thing I can imagine happening in a couple of years. I think there have already been a couple of attempts at involving FB profiles in credit ratings.

And of course you can be refused a job based on your social media profile, or whatever comes up when people Google for your name.
Good luck against PHPStorm / IntelliJ. Nothing comes close yet, worth every penny.
I meant VR only. But I was referring to it from a personal computing perspective - How it can change learning and training experience.

However after reading your comment and the one below which mentions quality AR glasses which can replace a monitor will be really revolutionary on how we approach computing.

Yes, cashless is something truly revolutionary. Being in India I am personally experiencing the change that it is brining in.
If that's the case I stand corrected.
It's very valid criticism. I was hoping that with the move to Qi for wireless, Apple would also move to USB-C for wired charging. It's ridiculous that you can buy a new iPhone and a new Macbook pro and they need a USB to lightning adapter to connect to each other.
And about 50% of that is just about the camera. Do phone manufacturers still see the camera as the most important thing in their phone? I'd have thought that years of over-promising lowered the customers expectations anyways.
There is a vast spectrum of personal situations where people can easily afford a $1000 phone every month to people who's monthly wage is less than the price of a $100 phone.

Different companies target different demographics who have varied preferences and utility functions.
Isn't this usually still quantified and shared though? I doubt her 2 million in revenue from the article is just what she personally billed.
>Benefits:

* being more polite and kind after you found yourself few times in the middle of "hot" conversation simply because you misread something at the start.

I don't think it is much dyslexia, because this happened to me while in rush to think and make a point instead of reading it and think. I also tend to skip paragraphs or entire pages while reading books, if my mind is busy enough thinking of the last read sentence.

>reading sentences in your dream

Try to raise hands and look at fingers in your dream :)
Your approach is 100% valid, but it can't hurt to start making a really small lisp. Of course the implementation strategies of a "MAL" lisp and a Real Lisp are entirely different.
I'll toss in my experience:

Started with the original iPhone, to iPhone 3, to iPhone 4, switched to Android for a few years and the last one I had was the LG G5. The customizability is awesome in Android and I made use of 3rd party launchers to great effect. To me, Android's strength is the ability to get the information you want fast.

I'm still frustrated by this aspect with iOS (I have an iPhone 7 Plus now). Android OS UX is streamlined -- I feel like I have to fumble a bit to get to the app / information that I want in iOS.

But I went back to iPhone because the interop is better (I use an MBP daily for work/personal), apps are better, battery life is better, camera is better, phone is better, etc. It's just better hardware ... at least compared to my experience with HTC and LG phones.
You're right, why didn't Apple product designers consider the massive segment of the population attempting to unlock their devices via facial recognition in the midst of a blizzard?
You are carrying a time bomb, that phone (Nexus 6P) came with so many manufacturing issues that android 8.0 has added a special feature just to allow you to reset your phone in case of bootloop problems.
Titanium is pretty soft so it would probably be more prone to scratching.

When i am in the us everyone thinks im from california. Regardless of studies, BC, cali and alaska share a west coast accent. Thats one of the reasons hollywood likes to film in vancouver.
Many of my in-laws are from the East Bay, so I have something of a window into these issues. The 'southern' accent of the Valley towns is from their Okie migrant ancestors. As many fled the Dust Bowl, they carried their accents into the San Joaquin Valley and the Salinas Valley too. I've spent a bit of time out there in construction (SJ and Salinas Valleys) and most of the time those guys have little discernible accent. However, if you get them very angry or very drunk, it's nearly a southern accent. I've no idea where they get it from, as I've had a fair few glasses of wine at the holidays and can't recall hearing the southern brogue, but they all seem to slip into it when they get rear-ended on 5.
Julia joins the PetaFlop club – 650,000 cores, 1.3M threads, 56 TB of data
I'd set up a solo-401k and take 20% of that ($40k) as a profit-sharing retirement plan between the "employer" and "employee". Add in a $18k elective contribution out of your W-2 wages as well. IIRC there's a maximum total contribution of $56k so this doesn't work particularly well past the $180k net profit point or so.

I'm seriously considering moonlighting as a freelancer just to get access to this kind of setup. Of course, my daytime employer not having a 401k makes a big difference - with the combination of the profit-sharing and employee elective contribution, the first $22.5k annually would go directly into a tax-deferred retirement account. Partner up with different people to run unrelated businesses, and you can set up a profit-sharing plan with each to get separate "20% up to $56k/yr" buckets.

Anyhow, I'm kind of rambling. My point is that when you wear both the "employer" and "employee" hat, there's some really good options that open up that most employers don't offer because it's a wealth-transfer from employer to employee.
Bummer about the size. The Plus is a monster to me and I prefer the pocket-happy size of my regular 6.
It wasn't necessarily only because "the iPhone didn't have it". They chose to make the Nexus 6P and Pixel out of aluminum, and likely got rid of it because they valued that material choice over a glass or plastic back.
Oh, no man. Now you jinxed it...

These aren't phones anymore anyway. More portable data with communication.
> This mentality is why our political system is so disfunctional.

Is it? I thought it was simply a tongue in cheek response. Didn't seem entirely seriously to me.
Having to enter a 25+ character random alphanumerical password every time you need to use your phone isn't anywhere near acceptable for modern usage expectations. Hell, it's not even acceptable for laptop and desktop computers.

Sure, a useless system is technically safe but it's still useless.
Is it a C buffer overflow?

- Edit: Yes, it is, on the stack.
Can you comment on when/why you might use IntelliJ/VS over VSCode? I've recently switched to VSCode from vim, and haven't really used full IDEs since college (except for small amounts of mobile app development).

What iPhone X Should Have Looked Like
It now starts at $349 for those wondering.
It was not available when iPhone 6 came out.
Yes, I do think this is the best place for that input. People post things on HN, and there is a comment section where we talk about the thing. What else would be in a thread about a thing?

Noted.
Or you know, move away from it entirely. But in all seriousness, I actually really like Atom as a text editor, and wish it didn't consume so many resources to run.
Scoring research by reliability in addition to novelty would help fix the incentives in research publications.

Replicating research would boost your reliability score and the original's too which would boost credibility for future research.
agreed. why rely on evidence when we can trust the 'experts'? no thanks...
Windows was patched in July. Google has provided a patch for Android. Therefore, Linux is the only one left to make an announcement.
I've wondered about this myself (although I've never heard the term "Veblen zone" before!). $999 is a big jump from $699 but it's not a crazy high jump. If you're paying for it monthly over two years it's $29.17/month vs. $41.67/month, an $12.50/month increase.

Still expensive, but very much an attainable status symbol.
They're clearly banking on wireless chargers becoming mainstream and ubiquitous, leaving the lightning connector for headphones. The dongle madness seems less mad if you can charge all your doodads with the one watchacallit.
Still seems rather anachronistic and stupid, to say the least. When India became independent, there was a similar nativist drive: you can see how many of the major cities were renamed and such. Luckily people realized there was no real benefit to get rid of the English based education that was already in place. Something which I am personally immensely thankful for.
So, basically it works only in Northern California.
There have been attempts to do so. One ongoing project that looks promising is CheckedC:

Plenty of people wear watches/jewelry that are worth more than this. My wallet, sans cash, is arguably worth more than $1000 to me if I had to replace everything in it. The value extracted from carrying the thing around is obviously worth more than the risk.
Targeted physical attacks are a bigger concern than people often assume - think abusive relationships.

It sounds like this in some ways is a step forward from touch id in that regard, but we'll have to see.
It's disingenuous to argue that because these simple models do not spit out a specific price that businesses can't and don't make use of them. Most of the time they're implied when reasoning about things. Plenty of data and evidence exist to demonstrate economics is a useful tool. Choosing to ignore empirically grounded knowledge makes you no more clever than a flat earther.

If your restaurant decided to drop the prices on their meals to $1, without changing anything else, would demand increase or decrease? I've worked in a restaurant too, but even if I hadn't I could give you an answer.

You provided no evidence to refute any of them except to make a weak claim of authority based on having worked in a restaurant. These are simple models that make predictions about real world outcomes that can be tested. That is, using observation we can prove or disprove hypotheses that I've mentioned. Provide evidence or move on.
No. The odds of, say, the GPS in your mobile phone working by accident are effectively zero.
Sure, but be prepared to be skeptical. A lot of Kahneman's work rests on these kinds of studies, or on things that, on reflection, call to mind this XKCD:

https://xkcd.com/169/

That is, they involve questions which were designed to communicate one thing while secretly "really asking about" another thing, so that the questioner could then shout "Ah-HA! Your biases caused you to misinterpret that!"
Both the 8 and the X have the pressure sensitivity "3D Touch". Is that actually useful? To the HN users with iPhones: Do you use it?

> As a non-native speaker, that's how I would say it because that's how it would be said in my native language.

As a native English speaker I would say the same thing. "Take the I95" and "Take highway I95" both make sense to me. Maybe the Americans posting on this thread are talking about the second usage?
You just described iphone....seriously, my iphone 5 still works great, as does my 2012 macbook pro (admittedly, i swapped in a ssd + ram)
I wonder if the ir camera could be used for other purposes. If it can actually read the temperature, that's a neat trick. Probably can't though (see prices of flir lepton), I'd guess it is a b/w camera sensitive in the 700-800 nm range.

But still, with the dot projector, and that kind of processing power, they should be able to detect 3d gestures, similar to leap motion.
Sorta. I've constantly opened the notifications or the control center on current and past iPhones in games that require swiping. Maybe I'm not precise enough when playing but I do it so frequently that I'm pretty confident I would accidentally close some apps in this case.

Still, I'm glad they're trying something different. I'm curious how it turns out.
Is that the kind of thing one might watch on TV (so, not a monitor) enough to make it worth the 4K upgrade? Cables, receiver, TV, all of that. Seems like more of a VR thing to me (though I don't have a VR rig, so what do I know). On a TV it'd be more a novelty than an actual thing you'd sit down to watch for minutes to hours every single week, I'd think.
less, for several reasons

- in the US system, treating symptoms instead of the underlying cause is easier for the doctor and more profitable in the long run.

- "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"; less patients that wait until pain is unbearable (due to its cost) which then need different treatment.

- less conflict of interest that affect what doctors prescribe

- there is only one buyer, with a strong negotiation position, potential profits are capped
Did he also predict see-through batteries and chips?
Another possible reason not outlined the other replies you received to this comment - If I were to say "copy the raw file" someone less experienced may think "okay, take the fresh jpeg file and copy it", interpreting "raw" in a more conventional, non-technical sense. Capitalizing it emphasizes that it refers to the file format, even if not the actual file extension. Sure, I could say "copy the NEF file" or "copy the CRW/CR2 file", but that means I'd have to know whether the user was using Nikon or Canon. "RAW" lets the speaker eliminate ambiguity in non-technical contexts without needing to be so specific as naming the actual extension.

There were some problems last year reproducing ego depletion despite its prominence for the last couple decades.[1][2]

Personally, I run across the concept a lot in popular books and articles that I read (from before the controversy), so it presents a problem for me in whether to believe them if it's not actually true.

I'd say iPad is Apple's vision for the home computer.
that sounds like a lot of inconvenience
Sure, but it might be stronger than fingerprints.
If your eyes look away it won't unlock.

Also, there's a "cop button", in iOS 11 you can disable touch/face id by pressing the power button quickly 5 times.
That's a major flaw in people's thinking about autopilot programs.

An autopilot doesn't have to be 100% safe, it just needs to be significantly safer than a human pilot and in the long run it will save lives.

I think the fallacy is thinking that it's okay for humans to be flawed but machines should be infallible.
You know what would be extremely useful at this point? An actual demo from a reporter, and not only for the FaceID, but in general for how the phone works without a home button.

>It's a short-term fix, unfortunately.

Agreed. If there were a reasonable alternative, people would use it. There's not really anything like that in the US. The private institutions for addiction are shams. They exist to drain your insurance for 1 to 2 weeks, then boot the patient out until the insurance renews again a year later. They do nothing to fix addiction...just milk it for money.
most slavic languages use latin alphabet and not script

I'm ready for wireless charging. My current phone (Android) get's a USB socket full of pocket lint every couple of weeks. Once that happens the cable won't go in properly and I have to spend a couple of minutes with a sharp stick and pick fuzz out of my phone. Wireless charging would solve this problem neatly, and since I already have a standard place for my phone I wouldn't even have to change my habits. :)
Whoa, Qualcomm really had some awesome processors 3 years ago!

Oh. Wait.
If someone is willing to do that to you, odds are that they're also willing to apply a crowbar to your limbs should you fail to comply with unlocking the phone.
Because random advice from internet armchair experts would have worked wonders for them in the past have they followed it. I mean they're only breaking record after record, poor them...
Phones are not conspicuous enough to be a Veblen good. Unless buyers start wearing it on their belt or around their neck.
Yes but reaching for your phone can be lethal at least in the US.
