Imagine if ABC/CBS/NBC actively went to political parties and sold them on buying their way into the scripts of the top prime-time sitcoms to shape the opinion of viewers.

What you're saying basically looks like a representative government. The government collects taxes, and you don't control where the money specifically goes. You elect representatives who control where the money goes, etc. We all know how that turns out. :(
We wouldn't have this problem if the tax writers were required to publish the tax code in a machine readable format.

It's a complicated algorithm, but in terms of code it is what, maybe 10kloc? That's not very much.
Ask HN: Have there been any mobile web apps that have succeeded?
Many minor smartphone OS's, such as Firefox OS, promised the creation of quick, multi-platform, web apps. Even now, Google has been pushing progressive web apps as an alternative to native.

However, are there any examples of mobile apps that were created as mobile web first, found success, and then native versions followed? Or never had native apps at all? It seems like most progressive web apps are simply quality mobile web apps, but were not created to target mobile first.
Apple says that if they don't throttle it then phone can suddenly shut down (battery overheats, fail-safes shut the power so it doesn't explode) under certain circumstances, which is perceived as fault by end user.

I would like to be informed of this "Your battery is starting to fail". Same way as SMART monitoring in disk drives tells you that it degraded too much and will break soon.

Having spent extensive time in NYC and London, I don't understand how someone with the money to eat out all the time (like someone with homes in both obviously would) can say that the US loses out on quality of food. Having been all over the world, without hesitation, I would say that New York City is the best city in the world for food. It doesn't have the most Michelin stars, but the everyday options for people eating out are phenomenal, and the diversity is unmatched. Nowhere else in the world can you go and get so many different types of food that are well prepared. You can't do it in London. You can't do it in Berlin. You can't do it in Tokyo. You can't do it in Hong Kong. You can't do it in Paris. Hell, food diversity in Houston is better than all of those other cities. Why? Because America is a lot more diverse than Europe in general. In absolution population, the US has more minorities than Europe on the whole, despite having half the population - the relative amount is double!

And that's also why I immediately am so skeptical on the claims about things like art, etc, as well. There's far fewer cultures having an input on them, and things like art are elevated by having a diversity of influences and influxes of ideas.

A lot of bad things can be said about bitcoin as a technolgy and its community of participants. A lot of bad things.

None of these things are present in your post. Most bitcoin folks are happy it's not "real currency", it's not clear what you even mean, there are already taxes and whatever "regulation" means, the SEC is starting to single out individuals for punishment.
If an Amazon recruiter emails you, just ignore them. Don't waste your time.

I've had three Amazon recruiters reach out to me (I have no idea how they found my email since I never applied to Amazon), and every time I reply that I AM interested, they never reply.
That's not the same thing. They're artificially limiting one component that's perfectly capable of functioning at peak performance to hide the degradation of another.

If your battery starts degrading while still under warranty how would you know other than "hmm... my phone feels slower than usual".

How does this throttling occur? Is it gradual or does it happen in large noticeable steps? My guess is that it's gradual throttling because it's taken this long for people to identify it.

Does the throttling only occur after the phone is out of warranty? Or is Apple hiding a potential warranty repair?
Apple (like other manufacturers) is continually looking for ways to improve performance, whether that be cpu speed or battery life, or other metric. I don't think this has anything special to do with a particular model, only when they decided to deploy this particular feature.

I don’t think this is about us having a better experience though. It looks like a strategy to sell new devices by making the old ones obsolete.

Every point mentioned was not a gotcha to anyone who read the official introductory tour of the language. The behaviour may be unexpected to newbies, but if you spent an hour or so learning the language, you shouldn't be falling for these.
I'm right with you there; it's just that I think we probably have different definitions of "user-serviceable". I'm happy to accept the need for a detailed guide, a set of small screwdrivers, and a pair of steady hands to replace a phone battery - in exchange for having that phone be rock solid before I take it apart and after I put it back together. Maybe it's possible to make a phone with a back that pops off to a fingernail and yet manages not to feel flimsy, but if so, I've never yet met one...
I noticed the slowdown. Never believed in planned obsolescence so I though it could be an optimisation problem in iOs 11 but problem persisted after several os updates.

I finally decided to upgrade to an X because how bad it was.
Turns out it is throttling by as much as 50% (I still have the phone) so I could have just spent 79$ instead of buying a new iPhone.

The same will happen to a lot of people.
What a wildly inaccurate analogy. The odds that the sometimes dozens of ad networks are collecting your data without your consent (which is legally not your property once they have it in the US) are hugely more likely than randomly needing to defend yourself.

Why would you even say that? Are you implying it's paranoid to block ads like there arent huge corporate and governmental data collection apparati in place?
Be aware that sometimes the battery replacement "fails" and your phone is lost. They give you a new one but you better have had a back up.

All manufacturers face the same design decision - once the battery life declines, do you cut the CPU speed and keep the battery life, or do you keep the performance but the phone now dies halfway through the day. I'd say Apple took the correct approach here - 100% of your customers will notice their devices dying much earlier than expected, most customers won't notice the phone getting a bit slower. My mum never ever would for example, she only uses hers for making phone calls. If the phone app takes 2 seconds longer to open she doesn't care, she cares about having a phone that works all day long though.

So, lets pretend you work for Mozilla, you like the mission statement* and seriously believe in it/that your work is helping that cause. You also think it is a relevant part of your branding.

You really wouldn't have a problem with your CEO saying repub voters are subhuman? No clash between "open and accessible to all" and "subhuman"?

You wouldn't be upset at that violation of the creed/mission statement?

You wouldn't think it to be harmful to your companies branding? (And therefore to your company)

The only tangible example I really see in the article is the following:

>For instance, if someone acts entirely reasonably within your community but engages in lengthy anti-semitic screeds on 4chan, it's legitimate to question whether permitting them to continue being part of your community serves your community's best interests.

What do all of these have in common? Answer: absolutely no relevance to the project. If your software is an app that serves the Jewish community and some participant was an anti-semite, then okay, maybe you should eject them. If your project is almost anything else, then leave your opinions at the door and engage with them respectfully so long as they grant you the same courtesy.
Maybe there will be artificial intelligence painters for cgi movies?
What I mean is AI that learns from real photos of similar objects and paints the computer generated images in a similar style. Deep learning AI can already colorize black and white images quite good.

Maybe the cgi artificial look can be seen as an art form in itself and 100% realism is not the end goal for children movies.
A good way to revive NNTP would be to gateway a web forum to NNTP, such that posts on the Usenet server become posts on the web forum and vice-versa. The web forum would have its own killfile, like any normal user, which would ban Usenet posters from the web forum, and, of course, individual users would have killfiles as well.

Spam might be the insurmountable problem here, but I think it's at least worth an experiment.
How trustable are those no-brand batteries? I'm kind of wary of buying a no-brand battery that will charge everyday on my night stand.

One of the reasons is that it slows down is because the battery is actually not able to deliver enough power to run at full speed. My iPhone 6S would randomly shut down when I was using significant power (I.e a CPU hungry app) even at 70+%. When I got to less then 40% almost any app could cause a sudden restart. Apple apparently fixed this problem in a software update by limiting the power the devices draws, which fixes those random restarts for the most part but slows it down significantly.

Fortunately, I could replace my device because that was the case (I went to Apple and they replaced my battery after they did some extended tests because they were aware that a “small number of iPhone suffered from this issue and they tried to find out which ones“). Sure enough, about one or two months later I checked my old serial number and apples website told my that my old phone was eligible to be replaced.

This seems to affect the iPhone 6 and 6s the most. According to geek benchmark my used iPhone 7 is at 80% speed when it has about 50% battery remaining and at pretty much full speed when my battery is fully charged.

>> This assumes that Apple doesn't know best, and that the user actually has a say in the matter, which goes against iOS / OS X / Apple at a deep, philosophical level

This isn't philosophy. This is marketing sold as philosophy.

Let's be real: yes Apple has distinct knowledge about design. But also, users have knowledge about what's best for them.And without that knowledge, Apple wouldn't be able to design a good phone. And they know it. they do user research,etc.

But in a sense, that's how all luxury marketing works: convincing people that some object bears great significance, because of the sheer talent of it's creators.

Different people in the U.S. government will embrace bitcoin, because they are the people trading bitcoin now. The wealth will bring the influence and the influence will bring the power.

Some people were flabbergasted when the Fed was buying Mortgage-Backed Securities off the open market, practically giving one group of people money, under the guise of stimulating AN economy.

Different people are going to be flabbergasted when the Fed, under a different group's leadership, starts buying cryptocurrencies by the $ billions every month, practically giving another group of people money, under the guise of stimulating AN economy.

And it will still be unaccountable to anyone that cares.

The European Central Bank buys junk corporate bonds simply because a Goldman Sachs alumni wanted to. The Swiss National Bank buys equity, straight off the New York Stock Exchange, at valuations it can never make a profit from dividends from. The Central Bank of Japan buys equity and bonds.

These institutions are funded by the future productivity of tax payers and can be exposed to heavy losses.

It isn't out of the question that they will buy the spot market in crypto commodities in the future just because someone familiar with that market is heading the bank.
I don't think you can have such a number, as it hinges so heavily on unknowable future usage and environmental factors.

And frankly now that sudden shutdown isn't a thing, I don't think it matters much. Apple just has to communicate the situation better when processor throttling reaches severe states.
A point, but as far as I know the next phone manufacturer to do that will be the first.
And that's how you get code from company A that's performing sanity checks on a parts of a file that are outside the scope of the spec the data in that file is supposed to meet failing content that meets spec but has had all superfluous information discarded by a custom compression algorithm that's designed by company B to improve performance on a network with insane latency.

That was a fun bug to track down.
It's extremely suspicious this coincided with a massive battery recall that caused unexpected shutdowns.

If replacing the battery restores normal performance, can connecting a charger also restore normal performance?

Because iPhones don't really have user serviceable batteries, I wonder if an after market battery charging case would provide more speed with a new battery pack.
Perhaps we do need to have a lick of sense and critical thought put into these discussions, every time.

Otherwise you risk just being in a positive-reinforcement echo chamber.
Ive come to understand this is inherently bad, right? Anything that raises your dopamine level and constantly seeking that rush by doing that behavior, when really its just a time kill?

So what can we do to combat this? How can we better avoid this? Whats a better alternative? To stay away from the computer? To just read a few articles in depth and miss out on the rest? How do you combat the FOMO of information you might be able to capitalize on?

Hope my question makes sense and someone has some answers!
Do you think the ECU doesn't limit the performance as the engine ages to protect it from damage? Of course they do, just swapping the ECU in an old car for a brand new one will restore some performance, because the ECU starts supplying the stock levels of fuel/air mixture, at least until it learns that the engine is not performing as expected and cuts down on performance again.

I'd imagine something along the lines of a datacenter, filled with racks stuffed full of these:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/dgx-1/

...but repurposed for graphics rendering instead of deep learning.

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to find out something like this actually exists (though whether for graphics or deep learning, I don't know).

Also - I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a datacenter full of D-Wave machines exists somewhere (perhaps next door to the datacenter filled with DGX-1 systems - I mean, something has to make sense of the data output).

Pure speculation, of course; I'd suspect we'd know about it though if it were the case, unless it was done as a government black project...

It's materially different because militant vegans don't try to infringe upon my rights. The difference is that if you were advocating for veganism as strongly, I can point to the fact that nobody is being hurt by that advocacy. If you're strongly advocating that gay people don't deserve equal rights (at best) or don't deserve to be alive (at worst), then it's very clear your position shouldn't be tolerated.

That's the problem with this whole argument chain - there are clear material differences between advocating strongly against gay people, versus advocating strongly against eating meat.

There is no diversity in opinion that includes bigotry - that's just a way racists, sexists, and other hate mongers hide in communities. Your axioms completely ignore the idea that there are opinions which cause harm without any introduction of violence - something anyone in a marginalized or oppressed group can and has experienced.

Diversity of opinion does not mean accepting opinions which directly and indirectly cause harm to others.
Your son having diabetes is not the same as say you getting an illness that prevents you from working. Or an illness for a child that requires more attention, maybe round the clock care.

And if you work for minimum wage AND you have a child with diabetes its a very different story. Most of the people hanging around HN are technology related, some of us have a tendency to be a little egocentric.

To compare your situation, having a child with a chronic but very manageable condition (diabetes) as opposed to say severe autism. I was just reading a story on NPR about a couple, where the husband is a programmer making 100K, and they have 2 autistic children. They don't have furniture in their house. They've declared bankruptcy. They have tons of medical bills.

> The list goes on.

The list of what? Different ways in which the North Korean economy legitimately functions?

However "weird" you or the Washington Post think running a restaurant and remitting money back home is (or are they fronts for money laundering? the story can't seem to decide), or a country sending its workers abroad (look up the population of the UAE sometime), or operating a factory (?), all of those things are legitimate, legal and commonplace around the world, and in no way analogous to a Bitcoin ransomware attempt.

> The GDP of North Korea is estimated to be about $30 billion [...] It doesn't take much money to move the needle.

The amount made by WannaCry wouldn't even move the needle in the Bitcoin economy, never mind the economy of a nation state. Hell it wouldn't move the needle for some posters to HN.

If North Korea was that interested in acquiring cryptocurrency they could make far more simply running darknet markets or Bitcoin exchanges.

But - no - according to some people it makes far more sense to enact a convoluted and easily killswitched extortion scam with flashing neon arrows pointing straight back at them.
