Hey, HN Admins, is it really necessary to micro-manage the titles?! I had “by John McCarthy” (which is highly relevant, and in the next line in the doc)! It’s just a bit prissy to have to have the titles your favorite way all the time. Please stop it, and if you need to micromanage peoples posts, you should be working for Wikipedia. Yeah, yeah, I know ... OFF TOPIC!

Which makes everyone else's decision to drop the audio jack that much more stupid. Virtually all other OEMs tend to do things so much more superficially than Apple. Like face authentication for instance. It's been and still is a joke for years in the Android world. Perhaps Apple's will be a joke, too, but at least it looks like they put a good amount of effort into making it secure even if they had to add some extra hardware components in there.

Another reason why it's stupid for everyone else to follow Apple on this like sheep is because Apple also did it to sell their expensive Beats Bluetooth headphones. The other OEMs don't have a billion-dollar headphone division...
Well, obviously the best thing is to ensure that all truths are politically acceptable. But given that we live in a society in which certain truths aren't acceptable, what's the best course that individuals can pursue on the margin?
They did just fine while Steve Jobs was around. It's not the secrecy (although it does help to have transparency), it's complacency.

With Android, it's always "maybe next year", man. One gets tired of it.

You're pointing me at apps. But I keep hearing Nexus/Pixel folk praise "the pure experience". Something doesn't add up. ;)

And yes iPhone is far from flawless, I completely agree. But I'll take improved privacy and better battery life.

And we've just got Bluetooth 5.0, which doesn't seem to address any of those issues. Instead it focuses on range, likely because that benefits local stores' advertising.
Nice. Seems to only do lxml tree building?
That's why the real question is whether audiologists can be automated away. Is it really so hard to imagine an at-home, self-administered hearing test? Put on a harness, hook it up to your smartphone, answer questions whether the tones are too loud or too quiet by tapping on the screen. Answer speech-comprehension questions by tapping out the word you hear. The app can then program, based on the test results, your hearing aids, sold to you by the same manufacturer of the app and the harness.

People who think that hearing aids can be replaced by a $200 in-ear amplifier don't understand the domain they're talking about, but there's still much that could be disrupted within this space.
Miraculous? Really?

Equivalent to an act of God?

You don't think you're being utterly hyperbolic here?
The technology behind the repository itself is not great. (DSpace[1]), add to that the factor that it is not actually build to handle this many requests and scaling quickly is out of the question too because of the server set up.

Even without issues, it often felt a bit sluggish when serving locally. The pages are quite large, and the whole pipeline from content -> webpage is rather tedious.(Java, XSLT -> html)

It shouldn't have happened - but I assumed it would.

Just to add to this - it is true. I have researched this subject incidentally many months ago. ON Semiconductor is one of the more relevant companies in this domain. They are a public company with a market cap of $8.5B. You can look at their Ezairo series of system-on-chip products - they are built for digital hearing aids (with all consideration of power requirements, DSP/programmability etc).

Well, you might want to worry about citing sources that your readers might not be able to read. Otherwise, it's mostly the same risks you get when using e.g. the Pirate Bay. That's if you use the site, by the way, regardless of if you use them for your thesis.

I agree, and I find scripting a web browser via the developer console a really productive approach.

First, it's completely interactive.

Second, it's the browser, so absolutely everything works. It doesn't matter if the data you want is only loaded by an obscure JS function when a hidden form is submitted on a button click. Just find the button, .click() it, and wait for a mutation event.

I have a write up on this[1], but I need to extend it with some more advanced examples.

To be clear to everyone else, the parent and the grandparent have just described respectively conference papers and journal papers. Journal papers are usually a bit longer and represent more work, conference papers are usually shorter and take a bit less time. This of course is a generalization.

For example, a PhD thesis might be the full written-up version of 3-4 conference papers you'd have published in the course of your PhD, and then you might condense the important part of your thesis into a single journal paper afterwards, but this is only a vague example and there are many ways of skinning this cat. There are many examples of extremely short conference papers that have had a major impact in their field, and there are _millions_ of completely forgettable journal papers.

The above broadly holds for any of the scientific research disciplines with which I'm familiar.
I love headphone jack and I do not like very much bluetooth (except Hands-Free Car Kit). But I also watch many TV series where the characters are always using tiny earbuds. People want to be as cool as their idols. The first generation of bluetooth headset was cumbersome. With the Apple touch and some technical improvements, this can be a success.
Kids can not only walk, but walk alone too. I was going to elementary school on my own when I was 7. So did my classmates. I used to cycle all around by the age of 10.

I forgot to mention I used 13 Androids over the last 5 years, of several brands. The Mi 6 is actually the best experience I had so far, by the way.

I see you lean heavily towards Google's take on devices which is okay. But right in this thread people recommend apps to fix things that are missing from the pure Android. That is... not very okay.

When I used Samsung, they had a mini app for everything. Even their clock / alarm / stopwatch / timer app was extremely easy and convenient to use. It's hard to quantify, it's a feeling that adds up over time.

I also happen to think the Pixels take away too many features. microSD slots used to be one of the differentiating features of Android devices over iPhones, for example. Now we don't have that and we also no longer have a headphone jack, a decision that was widely frowned upon even by iPhone fans.

To me, as a mostly neutral side observer who never was fanboying on neither platform, it looks like Google is trying to emulate Apple, and is failing.
As with everything else, they are expensive until someone decides to reduce the production cost and sell them cheaper.
Could be. Sounds like a decent argument against universal health care insurance, too. More things should be out of pocket.
Interesting. Any way to get data on active new user numbers over time?

Regardless, Sci-Hub launched in 2011 and has been frequently discussed in the media since then.
It would seem to be a joke.

But even so, while 1966 was indeed early for "regular" use of fax - the first "user friendly" Xerox fax machines hit the market around then -, the first transmission of facsimiles of images dates to the 1840's, and the first fax that used similar methods to "modern" fax machines of scanning line by line (the "scanning phototelegraph") dates to 1880. Commercial fax machines have been around since around 1900.

So it would indeed be possible.

One weird and wonderful product of early faxes (fax over radio predates "wired" fax machines): Finch Facsimile's [1] were used to transmit "newspapers" via AM radio in the '30's, that was then printed on thermal paper at the home of the subscriber.

From [1]: "Six hours overnight was enough time to print a six page two column news bulletin, delivered in time for breakfast."

No, should you ever want a job again, on your CV put that time down as a company of your own creation and list it like you would any other job. What you made, what you achieved, etc. I did this about 4/5 years back, didn't have any problems getting interviews.

When you start getting interviewed they'll ask why you're leaving self-employment and all you have to say is you tried running your own business, it didn't work out, and you want the stability of a full-time job again. That'll be about the extent of it.

References are a little trickier, I had some consulting clients that I'd done part-time work with, so had people to ask. To be honest, references are at the "we want you" stage so they're a bit more flexible.

The ultimate problem I found was being an employee is frustrating so I left full time again and switched to consulting instead.
Was going to upgrade to an iPhone X. After this iOS 11 nonsense, I'm honestly considering going back to Android. It's absolutely unforgivable how terrible my iPhone 6S has been running since the update. Same as you: constant crashes, random freezes and reboots, abysmal battery life, not to mention an insane bug where when someone calls you (or you call them), they can't hear you and you can't hear them. This bug persists until you reboot your phone. Like, wtf?

This feels like Apple has crossed the Rubicon. The Steve Jobs era is officially over.

The flashlight behaviour is odd, I just tried it and I got the same delay the first time I turned it on, but no delay after turning it on multiple times. It's almost as if the code was swapped out to a slow disk and you have to wait for it to be swapped back in before the first use. There's still no good reason why it should take such a noticeable time, though.

what if they made a cb radio for the home, when living with my mother she'd have the tendency to ask for something from another room. a in house star-trek-style communicator could help with that.
This attack would have been avoided if the output of the RNG had been hashed before being used. The root of the problem here is that the function from the state to the output can be inverted, once the key is known; one of the properties of a cryptographic hash is that it cannot be inverted other than by brute force. In the same way, the function from the state to the next state should also not be invertible.

Given Dual-EC, one has to wonder whether this bad RNG design was by accident or on purpose, and how many other bad RNGs are out there. One also has to wonder whether we should all start hashing the outputs of every RNG before using them...

It’s not so much the M-trees that make this work, as the idea of distributing the leaves around so that you can’t efficiently corrupt the tree by replacing it. If it was all in one machine you could just fake the tree. According to the original bitcoin paper, this idea came from Haber and Stornetta. (I have a personal theory that Stornetta is Satoshi ... who doesn’t reference their own papers multiple times?!)
False XP Problem is a pet peive of mine actually. Personally, I downvote any answer on e.g. Stack Overflow that doesn't answer the question asked. The proper way to respond to any technical question, IMO, is first answer it exactly as ask if you can (if you don't, then don't answer). After that, you may optionally ask what the person is trying to do and offer your expertise.

The issue I run into is this: I work in the enterprise environment. I have a lot of experience but sometimes I'm forced into doing something seemingly stupid that you would normally never want to do (obviously more complicated than the silly "last 3 characters" problem). So I ask on SO giving as little detail as possible, purposely because I'm hoping to avoid a bunch of wasted time with "but you don't need to do that you can do solution A", where solution A is a solution I already wanted to do but was unable because of some reality of the company I work for (and no, I can't download or install anything and I won't be able to change that). All the obvious solutions will be this way. What I actually needed was what I asked and I had to ask precisely because I also never normally want to do this so I don't know how.

I find the kind of answers that some people advocate for extremely arrogant. By answering e.g. an SO question by answering something that wasn't asked you (a) assume you know more than the person asking (you may, or you may not) and (b) assume there will never be another user anywhere that will actually need the answer to the question that was asked. I get hit by (b) the most: I put my question into google, I actually find an SO question that I need the answer to but some jerk explained the user wanted something else, answered that and then, of course, the thread died.
The poster below can go fuck himself.
That's okay but I see too many people evangelizing "the pure Android experience", yet they have to compensate for a lack of certain features with apps.

We can also treat this as Google not giving much fucks, I think. Not only as "the pure experience". Let's be objective to the both sides of the argument.

IMO though, everything that adds everyday convenience must be a part of the system. Did you forget these phones are sold to people who have trouble tying their shoe laces? All the casual quality of life improving apps MUST STARE THESE PEOPLE IN THE FACE from the get go. They shouldn't jump through hoops.

Maybe you shouldn't look at the Pixels as improved Nexii. Google is aiming for a wider audience now.
That concept is f*ing cool...

Modules (in the C++ terminology) and a package manager like npm are two different beasts.

New Data-driven testing approach
I'll copy what I said to a similar comment a long time ago:

> Well the major difference is that optical drives were becoming more and more obsolete with the increase in streaming and download services. With spotify, netflix, amazon prime, itunes, etc, the main uses of optical drives for dvds and music disks were decreasing in popularity pretty rapidly. The only uses I ever have these days for my optical drive is to install drivers for new hardware in my PC, which in most cases can be found online anyway. And even this isn't needed on Macs because, unlike customisable PCs, you'll never need to install drivers for a fancy new PCIE wifi card.

> The headphone jack is different, because it isn't being replaced by convenient online services. Sure there are wireless alternatives, but the cost increases, difficulty of pairing, and the fact that 3.5mm is a standard across a huge range of devices from simple headphones to complex audio recording/mixing/playback setups means it just cannot be replaced. They could remove the optical drive without including the external drive because most people wouldn't need it, they definitely could not have removed the headphone jack without including an adapter in the box because of how popular the jack still is.

This is absurd. I can't count how many times I had to do 1-4 more hours of work somewhere outside an office with my phone already being at 10-15%. Your device should have enough juice to help you go through an abnormal day as well.

Optimizing your life for inferior battery life is absurd.

Earphones aren't regulated and have all the same risks. In fact neither are all the cheap not-quite-hearing-aids. I have one that looks just like an old hearing aid but cost maybe $50. Safety really isn't a risk here any more than it is for consumer goods.
Damn.

Are you the author? If so, well done, that looks like a great package.
No, i have tried all versions and currently have the public version. I have given up on developer betas already, I don't trust them anymore. But I expected public OS to work as expected.

So no, the developer beta is not the cause. It happens to me and a lot of my "normal" friends who just upgraded their iOS because it kept bothering them with push notification to upgrade.
Compelling article, but I can’t help but feel the author hasn’t appreciated some of these games on an HDR capable screen. They call out Battlefield 1 and Horizon Zero Dawn, both of which look stunning in HDR mode on an LG OLED screen. BF1 only got HDR mode implemented in a patch fairly recently, and before then was unplayable on an OLED with its deep blacks, it was a contrast fest with no luminance range what so ever. After the patch however, that all changed.

I’ve never played HZD in anything but HDR mode (in fact, I bought the game specifically to test HDR) so admittedly I don’t know the difference there. All I know is in HDR mode, HZD is one of the prettiest games I’ve ever played, with fantastic colors and brilliant transitions in luminance.

HDR I feel is one of those things you just can’t appreciate in screenshots or comparison videos. You have to get a good screen (I can’t see myself coming back from OLED, it’s – no pun intended – a game changer) capable of HDR and just appreciate it for yourself, it’s really something.

I’m sure it’ll be even better as technology matures and game developers become more familiar with it, and as well the market penetration of HDR capable screens increase, but to say they don’t know what they’re doing now seems a bit of a stretch. Especially if all you have to go on are screenshots.
I am not impressed by the Pixels. They take away key differentiators that made Android the better choice in the past -- microSD slot, and now the headphone jack -- and are pitched mostly on their "AI" apps.

Add to this the current drama with the XL 2 having burn-in screen issues on week one and IMO Google shot themselves in the foot.

The main purpose of sci-hub is to link you a pdf when you enter a unique article identifier (DOI). The search is a secondary feature, and their servers got banned from Google Scholar (which the search used originally), so now you're required to install an extension if you want to search for topics etc. All the extension does is that it modifies Google Scholar pages so that links to paywalled articles on journal sites link to sci-hub pdfs instead.

Google, of course, would never approve this extension so you need to install it in developer mode.

But, once again, primary method of use for sci-hub is entering DOI codes into that search field, and getting the pdf link directly after clicking 'search'. For that, absolutely no extensions are needed and most people use it that way.

As for you being scared of a website, maybe buying a pacifier and sucking on it would help. <3
