If those would routinely abuse the power bestowed upon them, they would threaten the magazines. Its in there own best interest to not abuse there review-powers, or there reputation could be ruined by the very same marketplace.

You cant just open another marketplace at the same location, because that has you at a automatic disadvantage. You could however ruin the marketplaces reputation, trying to shift customers to yours. You can also, wrap the market-place as in- provide a vital layer they need to function, and thus turn them into a organella of a bigger market-place.
But some of the stuff they're implementing in software wouldn't have to be implemented in hardware in a less high-tech car. It would just have manual controls for a human to operate the underlying hardware that the software is now meant to control.

Without being an Apple product buyer myself, I feel I can get a good pretty read on Apple products' success by the degree of condescension / stridency in reviewers' language. Like some Garner hype curve for fanboyism.

Judging by your tone, Airpod is still rising in popularity, yet to break through to mainstream, but may still do so.
I agree the camera is not great. No Android so far was able to compare against my former S7 Edge (I guess S8/Plus and Note 8 are better though). And that's not okay. I have to admit though, the Mi 6 is a filler device for me until the iPhone X comes out.

The LTE band support problem is weird and I guess it comes from Xiaomi not pulling the right strings in the USA. We can only speculate though.
That's assuming you know about it and all you have to lose is time.

Since it's an alarm, as another comment has exemplified, you may actually miss an important event in your life because you didn't know to wait for an animation to complete before saving your alarm.

I would say that this is severe given the potential outcome.

Similarly, the calculator bug is more of an annoyance for people who know about it, which is already bad, but the problem really manifests to those who do not know about it and may end up, say, wiring the wrong amount in a money transfer because their phone calculator didn't finish the animation in time to register actual key presses.

This is UI making the outcome of user operations actually wrong, not just laggy.
Google Play also doesn't really have a good way of implementing that as far as I know. You can do free app and unlock via IAP, but no matter how clearly you spell it out on the page people will not read it and kill your ratings with "1-star, SCAM!" reviews.

Something like this really should be a store-level feature
I think the reason for this silence is mostly because this already have been reported on HN. And if PC and indignation is used by some as a "see how much of a good person i am", this might not be the case for everyone, especially on HN.

OK what the hell, I thought they were just outputting analog through Lightning from the internal DAC but instead they put a second conversion chain in the adapter? Damn.

> You need iOS 10 for the adapter to work on older devices. iOS 9 and before predate the headphone-jack-less iPhones, but if you have iOS 10 it works great on my old iPhone 5S — not that you'd need it to.

And it works just fine on older lightning devices too, that's really impressive.

> To represent everything that is good about the internet, Sci-Hub should have been impersonal.

despite the fact that blocking people is "wrong", the good thing about the internet is that it's _allowed_! The internet isn't built on some moral/ethics - it shouldn't have one. It should remain something that anyone can get on, anyone can do anything on, and noone has the power to dictate behaviour.
This? http://libgen.io/scimag/repository_torrent/

I'm not sure what the numbers mean, but the last-modified dates on those torrents span a range of 3 years ago to this month.
You are incorrect, at least for my branch (biology), and the traditional publishers like Elsevier, and well-known journals like Science, Nature, or PNAS:

Publishing in such a journal does not cost money. It also doesn't pay the authors.

Only the readers pay for the journal subscription.

Then about 15 years ago, a movement started to invert this process. This is called Open Access. Under this model, the author pays to have their paper reviewed, and it is published with a copyleft license, free to access by the public.

In the last years, traditional journals have started similar offerings, sometimes graduated (i. e. you pay only a little, and the article is embargoed for a year).

Sci-Hub is attacking this problem with technology. That is the second-best solution only. It would be much better if the scientific community could throw their weight behind legal Open Access publishing.

That's because there simply are costs involved in the review process, even if the reviewers as well as the authors are not paid. Copyediting, infrastructure, coordination, public relations, data retention, and other work that goes into publishing is done by full-time employees. As one point of reference: PLOS One, the largest Open Access publisher, charges around $600 for a publishing a manuscript. That's a non-profit, and it represents the best current effort to manage this process.

That is right, researchers are paid by the universities. BUT, to be hired researchers need a strong list of publications in peer-reviewed journals. This is usually the most influential factor for ranking. For this reasons some journals charge fees for publishing your paper, not saying about being paid.
I like simple solutions like that...
All websites have founders and personality. Since you mention the PirateBay, they were a team with a rather snarky sense of humour. Archive.org is run by a foundation. There are always people and there's always legal responsibility.

In any case, Sci-Hub is really "everything that is good about the internet" because it's a way to make scientific knowledge accessible anywhere to anyone, in a way that was never possible before. The benefit to scholars and students in poor countries is enormous.

And considering just how disgustingly parasitic the scientific publishers have become, Elbakyan is probably the closest to a XXIst century Robin Hood, much more so than the Piratebay founders, actually.
Letter to Apple: You’ve Ruined My Life with a Macbook
In iOS 10, reinstalling the News or Calculator apps was instant. In iOS 11, the App Store list sizes for these apps, and reinstalling them takes a few seconds (on my phone and connection).

I haven’t measured data usage, but I suspect this means that removing Calculator’s icon actually removes its code from the system. If that is true, it is potentially upgradeable independent of the iOS system, at least from a technical perspective.

I suspect Apple’s QA and release processes cannot take advantage of this, though.

Not only does this rip off universities (which in most countries also means the taxpayer), it seriously limits access to information for citizens. Many more ordinary people access academic journal articles than I suspect research institutions fully realise. This is particularly true for legal and medical journals, access to which does have real (sometimes life-saving) effects.

That's an interesting idea. You are missing the part where an audiologist inspects your ear to see if there is a ton of earwax, infection, or other foreign body. There is also more test equipment than that often goes with a hearing test. I know some audiogram and reflex results can be indicative of things like a brain tumor which will result in an immediate referral to a ENT.

And there's the whole counseling aspect of telling someone they (or their child) has a hearing loss.
I'm in a very similar position as the OP (Computer Science PhD student). Piracy doesn't affect me at all. I'm very happy if someone wants to read my papers, however, you don't have to use sci-hub etc to access them - I've published preprints of all of them on arxiv.org. Usually I do this right after I submit to a conference and update it later to reflect any changes made before publication.

This also allows me to timestamp my results - say my paper gets rejected because the reviewers think it's a bad fit for the conference, or they didn't understand my point because my writing was bad, etc. Now I have to improve it and submit it to another conference. If someone else publishes similar results in the meantime, then I can always point to the preprint and say that I did it first ;)
Resolve exactly lets you put your layers in graphs instead of have them linear. It also lets a later layer bring back detail that was removed in a previous layer, while Photoshop doesn't. Here's an example: https://youtu.be/YxUoW5_gMjQ

I thought the same (about the fingerprint reader), but in 2 days I was converted. I love it on the front. I use my thumb to unlock and it's flawless. Nice bonus: you can use a fingerprint to lock, too.

I upgraded from a 5x because I need more storage, and I've never adapted to a new phone so quick.
Not to mention you get banned from trying to use any unofficial client if your device/OS happen to not be supported.
> Yes there are adapters for now but they're transitional and we can expect them to eventually go away.

Unlikely. The headphone market is huge and these devices are expected to work with everything, from mobile devices to AV Receivers, DACs, amps and studio equipment. The headphone jack isn't going anywhere.

> Only music you have purchased through your phone's marketplace may be played, and only to an authorized device.

I doubt it. The music industry is pretty open these days and has given up on DRM for a long time - you can buy DRM-free, lossless music from countless places and while I understand that purchasing music has become rare, your scenario would be a dealbreaker for anyone that still does and truly owns their music. That might be a small share, but still a significant crowd. It would render the device close to useless for people like me. This is a whole other level compared to the compromise of an adapter.

It's not so rare for older but well-written articles to show up multiple times on the HN frontpage.

It's somewhat rarer for a 'product' such as Sci-hub to show up multiple times, but considering that the HN crowd is pretty proud about Sci-hub's existence and will readily strike up a conversation about the Evil Publisher Empire, it's not so strange to see it on top.
No, I prefer to keep using my wired earphones.

In fact, I bought them AFTER I had Bluetooth earphones, because of the inconvenience of having to recharge them.

I also got gigabit Ethernet in the apartment after using Wi-fi for some time.

In fact, I see the hate of wires as an irrational behaviour. They work better in practically all cases with only minor inconvenience.

I myself don't need to be walking or moving all the time either. If there's a chair, there are cables available.

Yes! As an author of many CS conference papers, a few CS journal papers, and a few papers in other related fields, piracy affects me. It has been entirely beneficial, and I completely support sci-hub.

Collaborators, other authors, and other researchers have been able to read and find my work more cheaply and easily than they otherwise would have. Some would not have paid to buy my papers sight unseen. Some can't afford to buy them. A larger audience is always good for me.

I have also never directly earned even a single cent from any published work of mine. No royalties, no copyright payments, no publisher payments, etc. And I've paid thousands to publishers over the years to publish my own work.
Nowhere did I say that it’s because the phone doesn’t last. I was pointing out how having alarms work when the phone is off at night doesn’t matter anymore.
Suspension of disbelief
In any case, some researchers have claimed that Sci-Hub obtained their credentials through phishing. I don't know if it's true but in any case, such claims provide plausible deniability against that kind of watermarking proof, don't they ?
As a scientist, I am unambiguously in favor of Sci-Hub and similar sites.

We want and need to disseminate our results as much as possible and the paywalls are getting more and more in our way. You won't find many scientists who are against Sci-Hub - maybe a few at some unusually rich universities of some very rich countries that pay $500 for a color graphics and the $2500-$3000 fee per article for them that makes the publication "open access".

Poorer countries cannot afford the journal subscriptions either, because these can be exorbitantly high - so high, that even top universities have to limit access. I stumble almost daily over a journal to which my institute doesn't have access. Before the advent of Sci-Hub, we often had to ask colleagues abroad on mailing lists for (technically illegal!) copies of articles to be able to conduct our research.

Ask HN: what is hacker news phenomena?
I still don't understand the reason behind the quality of hacker news. there are negative/unwanted comments/submissions sometimes. Even though hype of the topic, time of submission etc matters, overall when I visit hn stories listed seem to be worthwhile(for subject).

Is it software/people running hn/a general perception that hn is good?
what is behind success of hn?

I am fascinated mostly by stories and comments of non-computer things where some experts/practitioners participate in discussion and share thoughts. the point is they think(someone outside of startup/it/comp sci etc) it is good place to hang out.

I do not know of any other forum where people from all over participate regardless of their background and location.
He didn't miss that; in fact, he wrote about it frequently in the past.

It's not true that voices aren't suppressed in the modern Western world, though. The original post by Scott Aaaronson, the one from which this post takes it title, was a response to present-day suppression of opinions. Both Scotts have opted to write their posts in a very general tone (even though they're obvious responses to some recent events), but I'll nevertheless spell it out in concrete terms: if you express your disagreement with the current feminist/social justice ideology on a public forum, you risk losing your job to an angry Twitter mob.
It depends on the employer as well. For example we have local companies here with horrible reputations that sometimes pay well above market rate for developers.

There is something wrong with a service when access to it is conditional on the opinion about its founder voiced by some part of the population of a country. I can’t but feel that it goes against the spirit of freedom and empowerment that _is_ everything that’s good about the internet.

(I do not dispute the usefulness of SciHub, or the good that it’s doing for the netizens, or maybe for society in general. I’m just saying that it has this one thing against it, and that, for being a representative of everything that’s good, it’s pretty important.)

Resolve specifically and PS are operating differently. Resolve's color correction is nodal-based, nodes stack by coefficients, not output (like layers generally do). The usual example to show this off is to drown the blacks in one node and pull them back up in the next, without any loss of detail, since Resolve combines the coefficients not the outputs of the transformations.

In Developer Options, set the animation duration to 0, which kills the animations. It's like having a brand new phone not having to wait for stupid animation fluff to complete.

Take care though, because I've used an app in the past which was broken with animations disabled. I can't remember which one it was, but it relied on an animation completing to trigger an event when a soft button was held down for a certain interval.
