Reasonable uses definitely.

Might be hard to really monetize anyways, its really nice that you keep it available for people to use. If you don't plan on making more money from it, you could always open source it, and let others contribute too for fun.
Also sprayed on your food... sometimes not even to kill insects, but to kill the plant, desiccating it right before harvest so its easier for a machine to pick and sort.
Thanks for pointing that out possibility because I couldn't find it. I wonder if it's an option for Hyundais because it's not included in their quick start guide either:

That problem is frustrating but not unique to Apple. Many asynchronous search interfaces break usability in this fashion. I have never understood how any front-end developer can tolerate this behaviour.
I do have to say, it was refreshing that it wasn't what I expected. I expected a floating point bug. This is in some ways worse and in some ways better.
Does your air filter at least retain its state when unplugged? I take it for granted that if the hard dial on mine is set to an on position, it will be on in that position when I plug it in (or today, when the power comes back on from an outage).
Do people really need that kind of accuracy? Are you launching rockets or something? The answers are close enough for regular people and more importantly, the animation is beautiful. If you want such insane accuracy, perhaps you're not Apple's target market. /s
> If I eat a banana that has potassium in it, it lends to the fact that it took potassium out of the soil.

This is true. However the little-known fact is that healthy soil contains all the "machines" required to break down the abundant insoluble potassium (along with every other necessary element) present in rock particles into plant-soluble fertilizer. This "insoluble pool" contains enough nutrients for literally thousands of years of plant growth, if only the soil life is present to unlock it.

The problem is that tillage kills this soil life, and that dead land now requires the constant import of external fertilizer to grow food. Pesticide and fertilizer application also kills these organisms, which out-compete pest species (as mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15515209). Spraying becomes a vicious cycle for the farmer, and a lucrative cycle for their chemical supplier.

In other words, functional soil isn't just an inert "tank" for holding nutrients. It's a two-dimensional factory for converting in-situ rock and air and rain into biomass.

This is all explained much better by soil microbiologist Elaine Ingham. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2H60ritjag

> luckily engineers and farmers are looking at these things more closely now.

I would add biologists (including soil scientists, botanists, mycologists, entomologists, ecologists, etc) and indigenous experts to that list.
>>It makes me wonder that as the young rockstars and H1B recipients age, where will they go?

As somebody who worked in the US(Bay Area, CA) and then returned to India. The general idea among immigrants is to make it big via stocks and bonuses. Get a green card and move to somewhere in the east coast.

For some people that takes forever. So you just get conditioned to stuff there and live forever. Plus most don't make it even to that phase, for most Indians and Chinese, green card never happens and they return to their countries. Those who survive do it due to a unique combination of work and luck, if you are that lucky already, and are ready to do the work- you will likely go further.

Also whatever the situation is in the Bay Area, its always a huge upgrade from the home country you are coming.
Good god (the heater, radio etc). Definitely sounds like the Bolt was rushed to market, a lot of those things are pretty basic QC issues. One thing going out early might be reasonably acceptable, but I agree with your other posts here, too many things to give the benefit of the doubt on. What did you replace it with?
This is the first time I’ve ever had real battery life issues with an update. I’m really hoping 11.1 fixes it because otherwise this version is going to become infamous for its problems.
Android (along with most Android applications) is profiled and tested on lower spec devices in a given year. If you buy a high-spec device this year, you could reasonably expect the system to become faster with updates rather than slower.
> Are they cheaper?

Not generally, by neither are they more expensive generally.

However, there's a large section of consumers that see that sort of thing and somehow assume it means the product is of higher quality, or that's what comes up in the marketing meetings I've had to sit through whilst advocating for mechanical switches.
The Switch is perfectly capable of both deferred shading and HDR, which are themselves independent unrelated techniques. You can make an argument about whether or not those are the best implementation trade-offs for that hardware, taking performance and desired visuals into account. But there's nothing inherently preventing you from doing it on the Switch and it's a fairly capable GPU in its own right.

P.S. Unreal Engine reintroduced forward (non-deferred) rendering as an option last year because it's more efficient in VR.
My Samsung started dying unexpectedly at about 10% battery left. I bought another battery, popped the back cover and replaced it.
For $10 it's as good as new.
iOS releases typically get a nice performance boost on the x.1 release. I wish it wasn’t that way (I’d like better optimization at launch), but this has been true since at least iOS 4.

Edit: to respond to another comment elsewhere in this thread, Apple also tests on all of the supported hardware when prepping iOS.
Hmm… but the actual display’s representation of 0 cannot be darker than the minimum brightness value it supports. If 1 really is 1x the minimum, then 0 and 1 have to be displayed identically. But then your scale isn’t even linear, nor does it have a true zero. How does that help?

edit: And aren’t output color spaces already highly nonlinear due to gamma correction?
These stories were passed down word of mouth, so you'd have to expect that by the time Pegasus had wings it'd passed through a number of people. Further, you have to understand these people had a basic understanding of the world around them. It's not inconceivable that they saw these types of things without the opportunity to investigate further. So whatever they think they saw is what becomes fact. Pegasus could come from some dude that was looking at a horse coming over the horizon and thought for sure that thing had wings. Told some buddies about this crazy horse over some wine, and before you know it the Pegasus is a real thing you ask for when you're 16.
I think that might be dependent on the keyboard your flagship provider ships with, and some are better than others. Thankfully, you can switch out the keyboard handler. That is, Android suffers from similar problems, some sometimes Android's modularity and allowing for choices comes through to save you.

But still, the perverse incentives of Google make privacy a real question. Then again, if I was willing to put up or shut up, I would probably be running a de-googled AOSP based version of Android. :/
> Generally consumer protection by regulation seems to suffer from a form of regulatory capture ...

I've heard these theories a lot, but I almost never see much evidence; is there any evidence it applies in this situation?

> doctors

I think it's very important to regulate doctors and medical care. I don't want any quack hanging out a shingle and treating people. The same goes for medical devices.
They certainly must be cheaper - no mechanical components, just a single wire (instead of two) connecting the pad to the micro-controller. And they are "fancy"/"futuristic".

My lab placed fancy touch-screens in the place of the light switches. Now turning the lights on or off takes at least 15 seconds but we get to pretend to be luxurious :(
I'm perpetually surprised that any competent software developer would go to work for a company that swears them to secrecy about almost everything they do. I can count how many developers employed at Apple I've had any contact with or seen a talk from on one hand.

I'm thinking maybe that has something to do with why their system software is riddled with shallow bugs that would be (should have been?) detected by casual at-the-desk testing.
Chuwi's budget SurBook Mini set to go on sale on November 11
Good question; it didn't occur to me. I checked now and looks like they thought of that. I'm a little happier about the purchase, thanks! :-)
As soon as I saw no headphone jack I immediately stopped considering an upgrade. I still love my Pixel v1 but when it comes time to replace it I will be looking elsewhere now. It's not a feature I'm willing to give up.
In the same vein, I always try ‘cat /etc/passwd’
If anyone at Apple is reading this, can you please look into the WindowServer memory leak in High Sierra... every 3 days my Mac crashes because WindowServer decides to consume >26 GB of virtual memory.
>>Then they turn right around and tell all their employees to move to the area

This isn't just a modern phenomenon. Note the whole point of outsourcing was that given how well the world is connected, it barely matters from where you get work done from. But what it is in reality is basically a cost equation.

Early IT departments in most companies were considered a back office expense so remote/outsourcing work used to make sense. These days most tech companies have a lot of money, so the cost thing doesn't make sense.

Good connectivity was never reason for remote/outsourcing work, so it doesn't matter how good it gets.
People are talking about "lag" and performance, as if this was a "the system can't handle it!" issue. This is a misleading description. The actual issue is that some developer at Apple screwed up their animation configuration when implementing the calculator redesign, and nobody tested adding more than two numbers together quickly. Multiple failures, none involving system performance.

What's happening is: the operator buttons have an animation on them, and they don't register inputs while the animation is running. The animation is pretty long, so it's quite easy to tap an operator, tap a number, then tap the operator again and have your input be missed.

Conveniently, this should be a trivial fix. Just abort the animation when a second input is received while it's still running and register the touch. (Or, lazily, make the animations a lot faster.)

Edit: I got operator/operand mixed up while writing this. :P
I recommend the OP article since it specifically mentions apfs.
So fast food restaurants came into Europe without a concurrent marketing and advertising push? They just built the restaurants and people came, because it was tasty, fast, and cheap?
I've never seen bluetooth audio devices that were capable of syncing video and audio in 10 years of using bluetooth audio devices. My most recent tao tronics BT headphones were great for podcasts and audio, but useless for watching video from my Moto X. Have also tested this with Anker portable speakers, Amazon Echo in BT mode, and Creative BT speakers. All are useless for video. I replaced them with a set of $9 Panasonic wired Earbuds that sound just fine and never run out of batteries.
I hate to be this guy but Steve Jobs would have fucking eviscerated the team that produced this. The first time he used the calculator and got 24 instead of 6, he would’ve walked straight to whoever wrote the software and gotten it fixed. There’s no one at Apple who can do that anymore.
Omg thank you. Same exact use case and I can’t believe I didn’t realize this.

IN NEED OF a ETHICAL HACKER?
A friend of mine shared a testimony of him working with a ethical hacker he met online and how professional he is, so i told him to link me up with the hacker. Then i gave him a job to hack my cheating wife's iphone because i noticed she was making secret calls and whenever i show up she ends the conversation. But unfortunately, after the hack was completed i discovered that the 8 months old baby i thought was mine was actually for another man she was still having an affair with. I'm sad but glad i found out about this at a very early stage before it got too late. This ethical hacker is the best at what he does. I also gave a friend his contact and he is currently helping him increase his credit score and remove eviction off his record. Don't fall for scammers, i know how it feels to actually loose your hard earned money to them, i have been a victim ones and i wont want that to happen to anyone. So contact this professional hacker at spystealth(.)org(@)gmail(.)com for issues concerning hacking. You won't be disappointed.
Now that I've taken steps to automate the vast majority of my house I put an extremely high value on state restoration. 9 out of 10 times a decent mid range device with state restoration and a smart plug is a much better solution then the high end connected equivalent, and at a lower price point as a bonus.
> But, crucially, they can't be called "hearing aids". It's a protected term.

If a doctor prescribed you hearing aids, could you get the Bluetooth kind instead, and still have them covered by your insurance? Or is this like the Epi-pen/Adrenaclick thing?
> Things that are paid for by other people tend to be expensive.

A clever statement, but do you mean it seriously? Is there some basis for it?

Looking at healthcare and drugs, they cost around a third less in countries with national healthcare than in the U.S., where most healthcare is paid for by individuals or by their employers.
Form over function sucks.
The applications make the interface feel slower, and it seems like they must make the interface slower, as it is extra work for the processors. I wish the could be shut off entirely!
It definitely looks more sort of futuristic, I have to concede that. Too bad we have to actually use these devices instead of just admiring them in the shop. Thank you for advocating mechanical buttons.
Great story. But doesn’t it seem like flying westward wound up being more dangerous and putting them closer to contact with the Japanese that flying the return route via Fiji, Kiribati, Hawaii?
Analog headphones are lossy, I trust compression algorithms to improve more than I believe manufacturers will use more expensive, higher quality materials and connections at the same price point.
Remember when Steve Jobs introduced Snow Leopard as a stability/maintenance release without much in the way of new shiny features? Maybe Apple can revisit that idea.

Aside from bugs, don't even get me started on the giant fucking labels in the iOS 11 mail app telling me which folder I'm in....
They generate masses of content, vast and endless swathes of it; they’re the cancerous clenched fist of Brandolini’s law incarnate.
I agree that the described bug is a very frustrating bug. As for old squares vs the new circles, that's an aesthetic choice I'm sure some will like and some won't. My impression is that the old UI is more in keeping with the HP calculator it emulated. Personally it's not something I'm overly concerned about but I can understand how some may be. (Don't get me started on the Contacts icon which I can never seem to be able to find.)

> "and had a larger touch area"

Your comment regarding touch area made me curious. While the button image area is smaller, in my very simple and admittedly limited tests I seem to be able to activate the button with touching the button only tangentially. Even with my pinky I can't not activate a button when attempting to avoid them by pressing in the space between them. This leads me to believe either the active area extends beyond the button image area, or, more pragmatically, fingers are large enough that they're going to end up activating the buttons regardless. Would you mind going into more detail in how you determined that the touch area is reduced in the iOS 11 calculator?
Some of them do precisely that. btrfs is designed to correct small errors introduced by the layers below it (this concept is tested in the article) .
Bluetooth audio quality is subpar to a wired port in my experience. A good example is the Q35, when paired via bluetooth the audio quality is worse than when plugged directly into the headphone port.
IQ tests are a bit biased aren't they? I mean, I score around 140 because I'm really good at spatial stuff, but I sucked socially. It took me into my thirties to really catch up with other people, to the point where I could truly fit the management role I wanted, and I'm still learning how to diplomacy in upper management.
The calculator in Windows 10 got a similar "upgrade". It now has a loading screen that eats keystrokes. The Windows 7 just launched instantly and took 10% the RAM and threads (seriously, the Win10 calc.exe has 28 threads!)

It would be one thing if these companies were making greenfield apps and choose Electron to make their calculator app. But both Apple and Microsoft had perfectly functional calculator apps before, why spend the effort to make them worse?

Thanks for plugging easymotion. I regularly use a similar feature provided by the VimFx Firefox add-on, but never bothered to look for a way to move similarly inside Vim itself.
I don't know that I'd agree. As much as llvm+clang inspired gcc to improve, ZFS seems like a big part of the inspiration for btrfs. I'm not sure that it hits the whole ZFS feature set, but it's probably a step in that direction.
Even if they were selling, I would think it's a net loss for society that they cannot fully participate in banking.

My point was more about OP's presentation of why they could not participate. It's pretty clear they're an edge case in an edge case industry -- I cannot judge a large company being risk averse when there is no incentive for them to take on the risk.

(That said, if anyone solves cannabis banking, they are going to be a unicorn.)

Bureaucracies are inherently risk averse; that is what it sounds to me like you ran into. You have my sympathy for it. I think it's wrong and a net loss to society, but I also have no impetus to criticize a banking/finance company from staying away from anything that even smells possibly grey.
'Pay with Google' goes live
Wouldnt that still be a horrible decision for Apple to make? Release 3 new phones within moments of each other? iPhone 8 never had a chance....
> Apple has lots of issues like this, in iOS and macOS, where they choose visual appeal over functionality, or where animation impedes usability.

My favorite example comes from the aptly named "Asshole Design" subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/78b0di/apple...
Apple has already invested heavily in accessibility across all of their platforms. The market for hearing aids is far larger than some of the tools that they currently deliver.

https://www.apple.com/accessibility/

While Apple is arguably ahead in the quality and features of their accessibility technology, the potential convergence of hearing aids and voice based tools means that Google, Amazon and Microsoft are certainly looking into this.
I'm not sure this is a constructive comment, but I just wanted to say that you are completely correct, everyone else is crazy, and I am baffled at how much confusion there seems to be over this topic.

One thing to add: Wikipedia sayeth "the eye senses brightness approximately logarithmically over a moderate range". If we go with that, then you presumably want to encode brightness logarithmically, and the number of bits you have available will determine the ratio between your adjacent quantized levels. In that case I believe the ratio between adjacent levels would be exp(ln(max_range_ratio)/(2^bits)).
Maybe the iPhone X will have enough power to add three numbers together without lag.

Seriously what are Apple doing. The fundamentals are gone. I literally don’t know what day it is anymore in iOS 11. I use google calendar which is stuck on 31 because apple don’t let third party devs have updatable icons. I used to swipe left to find the date, but that no longer works. Now I have to pull down from the top, which I find a rather cumbersome experience. I am not an expert on android but the latest pixel phones promo shots show the date on the home screen (or can be configured to do with widgets I guess). It’s getting tempting to jump ship.
I have to agree — I was excited about Keybase, but my interest vanished as soon as they became yet another place to have an account rather than being a way to discover and semi-trust existing identities.

Yes, the modern medical recommendation is "don't fuck with your ear canal". Nothing goes in there, and Q-tips are "officially" just for cleaning around the outer parts of your ear (lol ok). They can cause some real hardcore wax impaction and introduce germs, they are not a medically recommended product at this point.

Earwax is a natural antibacterial mechanism, like mucus. If your ears are fucked up they do sell Debrox kits with a compound to soften it and an irrigation bulb, use those. The irrigation does a number on your ear's protections too though.
The giant is pulling apart at the seams.

It would take an obsessive, aggressive, near manic product personality to stay on top of something that large and keep it running at an extremely high level of quality. Tim Cook isn't that leader (which pretty much everybody understood on day one).

Games forum NeoGAF in chaos after owner accused of sexual misconduct
Some high-IQ societies accept achievement test scores as IQ tests. For example the Triple 9 Society accepts a pre-2005 SAT score of 1520 or higher as equivalent to an IQ of 146 or something (if I remember correctly). And I think some societies accept LSAT scores, though some have 'insufficient ceilings.'

I'm a bit ashamed to have wanted to join one of these societies. To be fair, I just wanted to meet intelligent women. I looked at some of their pictures and there were like 95% men over the age of 40.

At work my mind automatically tries to guess people's IQs. I'm probably really bad at it, but I think I know when someone's REALLY below average. They ask questions that don't make sense, sometimes it seems like it's their first day on the job, etc. As frustrated as coworkers are in dealing with them, and as much as people claim IQ doesn't matter, if they are at one standard deviation below the mean, I can't help but feel society has to find a way to make sure they are taken care of.
