The Nexus 5 had both wireless charging and a non-glass back, along with plenty of other phones.

And even if they were somehow mutually exclusive, I'd still take a non-fragile back over the ability to wirelessly charge.
My understanding is that the issue with people with dark skin is that the camera has less to go off of because there's less light reflection. Face ID shouldn't suffer from that problem since it uses an IR camera.
Yes but if I asked you to prove brakes were safer you'd be able to do it pretty easily. The fact that no one has actually set out and done a study proving that autopilot is safer than human driving is disconcerting considering these vehicles are already being put on the road.

Seeing people abandoning the precautionary principle so they can latch onto an over-marketed, over-promised Muskian view of the future is sad. And in five or ten years we're all going to be looking back wondering what made us so dumb to think that computers could actually drive cars.
>Did you not see the array of cameras and sensors in the front?

If they don't add any value to me, I don't really care.

> Or the longer battery life?

Doesn't justify $300+ price bump

> Or the 4+2 core chip?

New chips come out every day and they are priced at the same price or lower than the older generation at the day it was introduced.

> Or the reengineered OLED?

You mean the one similar to Samsung S8?

> Were you actually sleeping during the announcement? Serious question.

Why do you have to be offensive?
I think apple would be laughed out of Cupertino if they came out with a rubber iphone.

Not saying there is anything wrong with that... my moto x had a faux leather back. really cheap, but the phone was nice.
I think steel is easier to manufacture and more abundant.
Yeah the leaks gave this entire presentation away.

We are at peak Apple. If I may borrow a similar peak story I'd look at Microsoft and the release of Windows XP. Balmer banked on that cash cow for far too long.

Tim Cook is doing the same thing here.

They need to buy Tesla and put Musk in charge of Apple.

Everything they do these days is just another way to milk the money machine for them.

They need a world class micromanaging innovator at the helm.
It was black in Apple Music (now playing view).
It hasn't been approved by the FCC for sale.

FTFY
FCC has no authority outside US
Did you watch the keynote?
Not thinking about it, or status seeking, or a weighted combination of both.
Agreed. And just checked - my Samsung Galaxy S8 is vulnerable, no update available. Thanks Samsung!

This one will get nasty...
Check out the price of the SE.
Putting servers with different views of the DNS in resolv.conf seems unreliable to me, even with glibc's behavior. If the first server "glitches" for any reason, the process will get the response from the second server, which might not be what you wanted. And worse, some processes (like browsers) have their own cache of DNS responses, so the incorrect response might get cached.

That is: it was already broken, systemd-resolvd just made the breakage more visible. (If I understood it correctly, it only switches after the first "glitch", so the only difference is that it doesn't switch back until the second server also "glitches".)
I think in the future, we'll see the iPhone A.

A solid, feature-less block of aluminum.
And still pushing Metal...
People also drive around in expensive cars on open roads with a lot distracted drivers. You an also get hit in an instant by one person not paying attention. You just have insurance for that, just like you have Apple Care or a similar insurance in case it happens.
I think almost everyone playing games could.
when the iPhone X SE?
>"Our vision has always been to create an iPhone that is entirely screen." so they failed thus far

This mentality is why our political system is so disfunctional.
Yes, big files has always been the major issue for me.
I always kept sublime text around for some larger files and ultimately decided I would only stick with a single editor.
Come on, now.

"I didn't mention multitouch, answer my question!"

"Oh, you're right. But it didn't have multitouch!"
Yes, but you could disable Ctrl Center in Apps.
Why do you need to manually approve at all? I have a bunch of public accounts and I want to take full advantage of those.
I think it's, perhaps, a faulty assumption, but a correct expectation, and ISPs that issue redirection for unresolvable domains have in fact misconfigured their DNS servers.

EDIT: Also, Comcast shut down their Domain Helper as it is fundamentally incompatible with DNSSEC

«systems in place to detect / prevent / insure against loss»

Yes the systems are nice. In theory. But when they cause more problems than they solve, that's not "working well". Bitcoin's systems to prevent loss are hardware wallets, and multisig addresses (eg. requiring 2-of-3 wallets/persons/automated systems to approve a transaction).

«Now you have to restore from backups»

The backup is simply a list of 12 words. Write it somewhere safe. Split the list. Memorize it. Hide it. Store it via steganography in an image in your email account. Whatever. It's easy to hide and have it accessible 24/7.
I'm preferring Visual Studio Code to normal Visual Studio whereever possible. Reasons for this is that I find editing (Ctrl-D) and navigating (Ctrl-P) there much more efficient, git integration is great, and I get more code on the screen (especially on a notebook).

For languages were the language service is good (typescript, C#) I barely see a disadvantage to full visual studio. For languages with weaker support (C++) I tend to open the project in both environments and use Code for longer editing tasks and full VS for compilation and debugging.
> Autocomplete even on really expensive IDEs runs way to slow..

Not true for jetbrains ones. Autocomplete speed is One of the reasons for me to go for their toolbox subscription
Still a PR fail though
Can I ask what your frustrations are with Android? I was actually thinking about going to the Google Pixel, but it's been a while since I've used an Android phone as my day-to-day device.
> Ordering of DNS servers matters. For instance, you might have a fast one near-by (perhaps on the same machine or LAN segment); and a fallback one that is more costly to use (few hops of latency, more network resources).

Yes, in terms of performance it's pretty common that the order matters, but the bug report is about the order mattering in terms of result. This is less common and seems like a bad idea.
I'll be surprised if this works for me as a blind person. There's no way I could directly look at the camera. I don't need the iPhone X since I don't care about camera quality, but if touch id starts being removed from all new iphones I will be giving Android a long hard look.
I really would like to see this utopian world where all other professions outside IT also get their tools for free.
well, i'm a successful professional that's been working nearly every day for over 20 years, so... if i lost my phone i would simply buy another one.

is this a trick question or something? i'm not going to jump into a swimming pool on purpose, but losing my phone isn't something that concerns me.
Still playing catchup with VSCode, but without the integrated debugger and all the rest of its fancy tooling. Is it still mind-numbingly slow as well?

I can't imagine switching back to Atom at this point, or even Sublime. For individual projects I might use IntelliJ or Visual Studio again, but outside of that VSCode is my exclusive editor for all languages for the foreseeable future. I'm very impressed by what Microsoft pulled off to be honest. (Blinking cursor jokes aside, of course)
30 seconds of googling would've told you that it uses a 3D mapping camera + IR to scan your face.

So no, printing a photo found on social media won't work. 3D printing a perfect model of a face might, we'll see.

I’ve dropped my bare iPhone 7 probably more than a dozen times, sometimes on hard surfaces, with apparently zero damage. Very impressive materials, though I do worry about the waterproofing.

The page is so long that I didn't realize it existed. I saw the big "X" logo and assumed the page was still a "coming soon" teaser, so I closed the tab. Only after reading your comment did I realize I needed to scroll to see the content below the fold. :)
Apple has said it will work with glasses and hats
That is quite funny. I'm pretty glad I didn't suddenly get that when I switched countries. Of course, I switched up the two before I did so. I learned to feel for my heartbeat on my left side to tell them apart.
Banks like JP Morgan don't have the power to put more money into circulation, so you're wrong.
"Old curmudgeon" has nothing to do with age, but attitude. You might be young, but doesn't mean you don't have a "get off my lawn" attitude throughout this thread.
Pokemon on the street was a great way to introduce the public to the concept of AR, but you're right- that's not how it's going to work. As long as our phones are the "lens" into the augmented reality, it will stay out of the mainstream.

We need Google Glass, Spectacles, or some equivalent AR device. All of that stuff you're talking about- projecting onto the street, onto the windshield, etc... that's setting the bar very low. We'll be able to do all of that on a per-user basis once we have AR glasses.

And those are hard problems to solve- projecting holograms into daylight without a surface? Good luck outshining the sun without overheating your tiny pocket projector. They all require unique solutions tailored to the problem and the environment they'll be used in. Why bother with that, when you can either work on AR glasses, or wait until AR glasses are readily available, which is pretty much an inevitability.
Steel and aluminum is still cheaper and easier to work with than titanium. Easier manufacturing higher margins.
P.S. the iphone is made of aluminum not steel
The best thing about this is, Google will have to bring back wireless charging now for future Pixels.
Fantastic for when I'm skiing or in bed with half my face stuck in a pillow.
I thought it needed to be a high resolution photo?
Is there any way to actually steal an iPhone any more? I think they're just bricks.

But, I completely agree with you otherwise. This thing is just too nice to keep in my pocket all day. Plus, I'm too spoiled to appreciate it. It's like the most awesome, user friendly camera known to man, with an onboard computer and phone -- and I'm not sure I care enough to use it.
> Neat, wireless charging, exactly like I had on my Nexus 5, around 5 years ago :)

Wow and Google got rid of it probably because the iphone didn't have it. I wish the hardware team at google would stop trying to copy apple and just do the things that make sense. Wireless charging and a headphone jack makes sense.
I would have nothing against it if that's the case, but that's not what they showed in the demo.
I beg to disagree. You need to be careful with what you accept. Little by little, small things pile up and make a big difference.

Some examples:

* Nasty managers. You go on accepting one issue here and other there and the guy will just get worse and worse.

* Collapsing countries, such as most of Latin America and Caribbean. You go on accepting some crime because "shit happens" until you are in a place where you just can't raise your kids without fear.

I used to think like that when living in South America. But when my oldest son was born I just said to myself: enough is enough, gotta get out of here; I don't want this as a future for him.
Were you under a rock for the whole Apple vs FBI thing?
No, Apple has explicitly stated that hair style, glasses, hats, etc have no impact on the face detection.
True, but capacitive multi-touch hasn't been the only innovation in the iPhone over the years. We forget just how limited the original iPhone was (no 3G, slow CPU -- it took ages to render a webpage, even though it was a huge step up over its contemporaries, it was still barely fit for purpose, no App Store either).

I think the slides in the keynote were actually on-point for this, there've been multiple innovations (multi-touch, high-DPI screens, Touch ID, their shift to in-house processors, computational photography), and it's really the aggregate that's lead to a great device. But break it down and it is an iterative, evolutionary process. That's why so many people often seem disappointed after every keynote!

That said, maybe the original iPhone really was a bit special :-)
A scarf that's barely covering the bottom of the guy's face? They don't know true winter. (or, like, Muslims)
Do you think this thread is the best place for that input? Or that the input is valuable enough to post at any opportunity?

For the record, I disagree with both of those statements.
A Stanford psychologist has a simple mental exercise for tackling student stress

They had that as a test case in the video and said that the phone will learn that.
It learns your face and can work around haircuts, sunglasses etc.
The passcode doesn't let you get rid of the hideous screen cut-out, which seems to be primarily for this lock.
Movie video in ultra-high resolution isn't that interesting because it's composed by humans. You're being told where to look. Watching 2160p video on a desktop of walking or driving through interesting places with a stabilized camera gives a real feeling of presence.

Yeah, TouchID only gets me in like 50% of the time, usually with 2-3 attempts. And yes, I've re-done the prints a couple times.

All these people posting about consistently unlocking it without looking seem like they're from a different universe.
Relative to the productivity gains from IntelliJ it's well worth the price. It's pretty much the only development tool I gladly pay for.
Not to mention they could use diamond glass instead of this new reinforced with steel glass.

This may sound like the most ridiculous criticism, but I was really disappointed that the iPhone still uses the lightning charger port and not USB-C. Every other device charges with it including Apple's own laptops. Though seeing how long they take to adopt some features that seem standard to android users (like 4G LTE and wireless charging) in their smartphones, I guess this is to be expected.
But it's supposed to be the no cost-cutting, ultra premium version of the iPhone. It costs a thousand dollars. They could've used titanium
You are looking from a "groundbreaking" and "refreshing" point of view. Everything is an evolution. Is going from hand textile to mechanical textile a revolution (happened in a period known as "Industrial Revolution")? I still think that's an evolution. The reason Industrial Revolution is coined revolution is the "break the norm" mentality. But the inventions and the transition from hand textile to mechanical textile industry was an evolution itself. We don't call human evolution "human revolution" because we broke the norm of other mammals' biological evolutions.
This probably annoys me more than anything about smartphones. New model of somesuch comes out, and it has a bunch of newer features, but a lot of features I've come to expect are suddenly gone.

It was never that way with PCs. A lot of things about phones are unfortunately not like it was with PCs. I'm amazed to say it, but I've come to view IBM and Microsoft as fantastic drivers of open technology during the PC area.
Wireless charging was slow and inefficient. Is this newer tech better?

I like that the charging bay is long so you can charge multiple devices. That's cool.
They did mention in the keynote that they worked with photos, as well as professional maskmakers and makeup artists to prevent this
truth, cost twice as much as S8 and I fail to see justification for double price - slightly smaller bezels top and bottom bezels (but huge bezel/frame all around), telephoto (OK, though pretty ueless) and inconvenient face id (overfingeprint)?

anything which cost more than S8 must have serious benefits over S8

I'm with you. Before watching the keynote, I was looking forward to the new phones but the presentation made me more excited about the new Apple Watch with LTE.

I may be in a minority, but over the past few years, I've been trying to actively reduce the amount of times I pull out my phone. I feel like it will be liberating to leave home without your phone to go to dinner or go for a run, but still connected through the Apple Watch. Although it will still display notifications, I personally won't be tempted to browse Twitter or Instagram when I have a free moment.
On stage it was stated you needed to be alert and looking at the device, as in eyes open. Sleeping is fine I'd guess :)

If you're worried about people living with you, I'd guess TouchID is already a huge issue.
This question is best directed at your lawyer and accountant. Do initial consults with 2-3 more lawyers and accountants if you need, they'll generally do short first calls for free and then you can both get info and decide who to hire.
It's scary at first but I haven't lost or broken mine so far. Fingers crossed.
I actually thought Tim Cook did a great job this time around. For the first time in a while, I got that "reality distortion field" feeling that I haven't had since Steve Jobs had been the presenter. I think these keynotes go a long way to sell the product. Admittedly, I haven't seen any of the leaks, so yeah I'm sure it's not as cool if you know what's coming, however I do remember from past leaks that they tend to leave out the narrative (just opting for raw features, photos, etc.) that don't really do justice to the product.
It wasn't the only reason I switched to a Pixel after 10 iPhone years, but it probably was what made the decision so easy.

"Well it was the engineers who did most of the work..."

Who do you think came up with some of those engineering advances? No need to play semantic scientist vs. engineer arguments. Some of the advances came from scientists and some came from engineers.
Just do it in Python:

Another handy set of tools are the time-based queries, like "journalctl --boot" for logs since the last reboot, or "journalctl --since 16:30" to see logs since that time. (Which can also be specified in relative terms, like "-30m" for the last half hour.)

But the funny thing is that this pricing will backfire and the scarcity of the X will move it into the Veblen zone.
The problem with considering things that way is that then you can't compare countries unless they have identical economies.

Suppose two countries have exactly the same tax law. One of them is full of online retailers and the other is full of brick and mortar retailers. Maybe the second country has an oppressive package delivery monopoly. The brick and mortar retailers charge higher prices and have higher expenses (more employees, more real estate) and payroll and rent are deductible in both countries.

So the online retailers can make the same dollar amount of profit on lower revenue and expenses and as a result that country is considered to have a higher effective tax rate, even though their tax law is identical, because their economy is composed of a different type of companies.

And no two countries have the same economy, so you end up measuring something that can't usefully be compared with anything.

Effective tax rate as percentage of total income is a concept that originated in personal income tax, where it makes sense because the default is for expenses to not be deductible from personal income. But for business the default is the opposite. What expense is a business entity going to have that isn't a business expense? Which means that effective tax rate for a business is primarily a question of what percentage of revenue is profit.
I'm not really sure what's there to refine about copy and paste though...
My phone is the piece of equipment that gets the most use throughout the day so having every creature comfort & feature when using it makes sense to me. I'm not sold on the X but the price has almost no impact on my decision to purchase when it comes to phones.

How does that work for internal plugins? Webpack itself is essentially nothing BUT a stack of internal plugins (the webpack core does almost nothing, even internally).

So how do you order plugins relative to other plugins you don't have control over? (This is an honest question, as I'm trying to solve a similar issue in one of my projects)
You can do a remarkable amount of bodyweight exercise with minimal equipment and not a lot of space.

http://www.startbodyweight.com/

Planks, push-ups, and squats of many variations require no equipment at all.

Add dip bars and a chin-up bar/rings and you're basically set.

Variations mean people who've never exercised before can start very small and work their way up to incredibly challenging routines.

For cardio, good ol' walking and running work. And if you try running, don't think you have to immediately start running continuously; interval training is a thing, and is a great way to start small and work your way up.
I've been developing front-end apps for so long I was out of the loop when a friend asked me, "How can I upload a website folder to a domain".
