Reduce that to:

Liking has little to do with it.

Those who are purists also don't like that others question dogma.
Nobody is saying that they don't have the capability. The fact that they're stealing bitcoin I think indicates that it's not as profitable for them to start a mining operation.

A lot of things need to line up to make the unit cost of mining bitcoin work.

No. They specifically said multiple times during the event that it works with all Qi chargers, and even showed several different brands.

Apple will be making their own charger but it's not available at launch.
I've seen this stat repeated quite a bit, but a person with chronic pain might take 2-4 pills a day right? Assuming 28 pills a week, that figure doesn't seem as crazy. Perhaps this is an insane quantity, but it feels like a stat that could be made to sound scarier than it is by using proper vocal intonation.

I would expect that's because conversions are antithetical to high quality discussion (and thus site loyalty).
Can't recommend the book enough. Having read both editions a couple of times, I'm still going to take this course.

It's a lot of content and I expect the course to make the more pertinent material points to stick watching the authors describe the content more personally.
I believe they meant that in the sense that they didn't modify it in anyway on the computer, it's exactly what would show up on your photo roll on the device after you press the shutter button.

My understanding is that the iPhone applys GOBS of processing to reduce noise and do other things to make such beautiful looking photos from such a pathetically tiny sensor. I assume other phones do as well.
Yeah, it works well enough - some pain, have to deactivate it to do the major updates and such on Win10, but it does work.
> The fact that a $10 CPA was every considered acceptable is crazy,

I know plenty of industry where a $10 CPA would be a massive discount. $100 clicks aren't unheard of or uncommon for niche high value products.

> IMO, if you have to show more than 1000 people your product to sell one, you have a product problem.

This is how niche products work, you need to hit a lot of eyeballs before you find the RIGHT person who converts.

If you have high customer satisfaction and a good retention program you can make a business out of numbers like this. Are you going to make a billon dollars on it, probably not but you can live comfortably off of it.

Great article, I never knew how to do these things, now I do, thanks!
I got the impression that VeraCrypt was not being run very well and that the developers didn't have much security experience based on the audit report that came out. I didn't consider it a trustworthy project. Has anything changed that?
They indicated at the event that it is compatible with third-party chargers that meet the Qi standard. Their own charger coming out next year makes some tweaks to the standard, that they intend to bring up with the organization and (so they implied) play nicely with the standard.

So does it bug anyone else that the status bar around the notch looks misaligned? The rounded corners make me feel think it's sticking out past the bottom of the notch, and there's this huge empty space above it. Especially weird with the clock.

We're talking about something like Twitter or Mastodon but (a) can be found using the original URL of the site, as in IPFS or content-addressable networking; and (b) uses distributed opt-in moderation, meta-moderation, and filtering; like a decentralized AdBlock.

It's something that doesn't actually exist yet, but maybe will.
They said it's 20 times more secure than touch ID, which since it uses more data I could believe.

They also said that they got special-effects artists and other things to work on it and try and make it hard to track. I imagine it's going to take a lot more than a simple 3D printed head to trick.

We all knew as soon as this phone is released people are going to start trying to break this, it should be fun to see what people find.

Can you tell me more about what you believe that Pinker video establishes?

I have generally high regard for your comments. But in this instance, I think your claim about what happened to Damore is facially flawed. Damore didn't simply "reference mainstream science". Whether you agree with him or not, I don't think it's possible to defend the claim that he was fired for citations.

I'd also urge you to step back from the Damore framing of this post. I know why it's hard to escape. But I think the author is just using Damore as an opportunity to make a more general statistical point. Certainly, at no point in this post does the author even mention Damore by name, let alone advocate for his termination.
I find it fascinating how hard Apple make it to find the battery capacity (mAh or Wh) for iPhones.

My understanding is that they do not want people to make a direct mAh capacity comparison to competing phones on the basis that iPhone can "squeeze out" more out of the smaller battery thanks to optimisations.

Except they still need to be able to spend the bitcoin and ship goods back to NK. If a country is willing to trade with them, then it doesnt matter if its using bitcoin or trading with something else. The important part is that bitcoin is something with monetary value that is able to be stolen easily.
Based on how Apple tells us to develop the apps, you have to do anything bigger than a bread box on the phone. The obvious reason is battery life; every CPU cycle spent doing something in the watch that could be done in the phone is waste. Less waste = better battery life.
>If someone steals your fingerprint, you can never change your fingerprint (same with your face).

At what point is stealing a fingerprint, retina print, or face going to be economical enough for the thief that this would be an actual valid concern in 99% of use cases? Both FaceID and TouchID need to read a living person with a pulse in order to authenticate. You can't just take a printout of a fingerprint and drop it in. This is a really heavy lift to try to jack some random person's phone. Unless you're securing State Secrets or occupy rarefied enough heights that you have a Swiss bank account I don't really see anyone bothering.

>and so consumers buy into this and then also use fingerprints to secure things like their bank accounts, work logins, password vaults

Which bank accounts are taking fingerprints? Do you mean people's banking apps on their phones? In order to get to that they would need to steal both your phone AND your fingerprint. If a thief is this enterprising your info. is lost anyway. And again, they would need an extremely high fidelity reading of your fingerprint and the ability to reskin a living finger with it. And they would have to execute all this before you get to an Apple Store or a PC to remotely shut it down.

>Then we get yelled at by people from the company because "Apple says fingerprints are the best for security, why aren't you letting us use them?" It's a pain.

This often happens when someone shoves policy down people's throats without explaining themselves or getting buy-in from their clients. This is a communication skills problem, not an issue with biometrics.

Bitcoin's entire value proposition by its backers is use as a currency, but you are correct that it is much more like a stock than like a currency. However, unlike (most) stocks it has no value aside from what it can be sold for.

It isn't a username or password, it's another factor, similar to how we identify people that we know.

It's not perfect, which is why we have policies for accessing things. It's almost certainly a better security mechanism than a password.
I'm not sure what you mean? It's not going to work as a 3rd party service. So Apple can do it for its customers and I guess Google for its own, and Microsoft, and so on....

But how is Google going to ensure "full portability" across the lineup of all Android devices in the same way that Apple could do so for iOS?

Edit: Maybe this is what you meant? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15234615
The thing is, that would be an investment that would ultimately cost Apple business (or at least has the potential to) so I don't see it happening.

They'd effectively be expending resources to make it possible for people who want a Watch to not use an iPhone. Doesn't add up in my head why they'd do that (though I'm with you, I'd much rather just have my iPad).

I am pro legalization. I say we don't give the cartels a choice in the matter. Much of the harm from drug use comes from the illegality of them. Consistent quality supplies would go a long ways.

Tax, educate, and treat.

I use 'safe' drugs, namely Suboxone. I doubt I'd change back to other opiates because I like the protection Suboxone offers me. Namely, I can pretty much only do it. It then blocks the receptors and doing additional opiates is mostly futile. I like that control.
She has probably spent more time analysing children than you have been alive.

Just an interesting note, I'm not taking one side or the other.

I've just trained to be a teacher, so the behaviour of children in a classroom is of interest to me. I have noticed that children don't play outside as much as they used to, and of course tablets, phones, xboxs etc play a huge part in the changing behaviour -- we didn't have them when we were kids. TV used to switch off at 9pm (I think, or was it 10pm?)
> The former is basically a solved problem.

That's a bit of a stretch :) The high-level architecture is quite mature and stable, but there's still a lot of research, both in academia and industry, on the data structures to represent indexes, on query execution (see all the work on top-k retrieval), and distributed search systems (for example query-dependent load balancing, novel sharding methods).

What I mean is, you won't be able to buy an Apple Watch as your one and only mobile device. You will need to own an IPhone with an active line of service, at least to provision the Apple Watch - after that, you might be able to stuff it into a drawer and only use the watch ...
The children celebrating a birthday in a time-limited jail room got me. They're a similar age to my own children. It's probably far better than a lifetime of health issues, but it seriously saddened me that those children didn't get to do that at their pace, in their family home, without third-party supervision, with friends, etc. Their "normal" gets entirely defined by mistakes of their parents compounded by their parents' inability to control that mistake.
You're probably looking at the "Businesses and Organizations" pricing, where the org pays £499/yr per user. The personal ("Individual Customers") license is starts at £199, and decreases to £159 then £119 for subsequent years.

Have you tried AirPods? Or the Beats headphones that have the same wireless chip?

I think they might be right. I never cared about wireless headphones until I tried AirPods and there're so incredibly convenient that I use them all the time now.

Or perhaps the right wins local, state, and federal elections because a large portion of the country doesn't like the solutions the left proposes.

The iPhone X display is 19:9. You cannot display video without either cropping or letterboxing, i.e. black bars.

And I don't know what you mean by apple doesn't approve of that: their own Human Interface Guidelines for the iPhone X ( https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/o... ) read: "Inset essential content to prevent clipping. In general, content should be centered and symmetrically inset so it looks great in any orientation and isn't clipped by corners or the device's sensor housing, or obscured by the indicator for accessing the Home screen. " They also include a picture showing precisely that.

Also just above that they read, "When designing for iPhone X, you must ensure that layouts fill the screen and aren't obscured by the device's rounded corners, sensor housing, or the indicator for accessing the Home screen." I.e. don't use a square element part of which would lie off-screen, do try to light up in a practical way all the pixels.

But regardless of what apple says, feel free to be unhappy about this if that makes you happy.
The watch isn't showing you the one-minute average though, it's showing the instantaneous value but the researchers averaged it for the purpose of the study.

Does anyone know of anyone using the drugs listed here (ibogaine was one) to help addicts? Because of the FDA, is this something illegal? It would be fascinating if cryptocurrencies permitted a black market for drug trade that allowed concerned citizens to buy these drugs and distribute them to addicts without fear of interference by the federal government. A silk road that we could all stand behind.
If you think of Apple as a curator rather than an inventor it makes more sense. Buying from Apple gets you an integrated package of curated technologies.

Curation includes managing the risk of things not working, so they will provide technologies that have been tried and proven.

A ubiquitous example of this is the Facebook "Like" button, which the creator of which said she wanted to "solve the redundant problem":

> So how did the like button come about? What problem were you trying to solve?
I was trying to solve what we called the redundant problem. So for example, if you write "We're getting married!" all the comments used to say "Congratulations" over and over again. I found that really aesthetically ugly, plus, every time someone did say something heartfelt, the post was hard to find among all the other redundant ones. [0]

I find a similar situation on YouTube, where commenters don't add any insight or discussion to the video, they just say something like, "Great job!" or "Beautiful music!". Not a problem in itself, but when you have hundreds or thousands of these comments it leaves out real room for critique, questions, etc.

GitHub has a similar feature with reactions to issues.

However, one small concern I have is that such reactions might "dumb down" user/viewer participation and give the impression that using a reaction is all you need to do to have an opinion. Real discourse requires thought and reason, and not just slapping an emotional sticker on something.
