(1) that's not what “equivocate” means (as in there is no definition of “equivocate” which fits that sentence structure.)

(2) If you mean something like “paints an equivalence between”, I didn't. I provided an illustration of the concept that the existence of a cultural difference does not imply equal validity of both sides of the difference.

(3) The attitudes rejecting homosexuality are almost entirely not found in secular society, though they may be found in national whose government is, nominally at least, secular.
All current fluid simulations are iterative and assume the fluid is a continuous indivisible mass (e.g. that it is not composed of atoms or molecules) that we then turn into discrete regions to compute the simulations. Even without common simplifying assumptions (to gain performance), this still has limits. Theoretically, simulating the regions with a quantum computer would allows us to remove these limits, and get the performance without making simplifying assumptions.
> This post is written as if it wasn't Apple that introduced the hard-glued battery. They made a consumable hard to replace

As others have pointed out in this thread the batteries aren’t hard to replace; this is just not something you can do directly as a user. That probably makes sense; it’d be difficult to make a super-thin smartphone while at the same time provide an easy way to replace each part.

And if they do find a way, they'll just make the phone even thinner instead.

It's not about Apple not being able to do it. It's about their priorities. And in this case their priorities seem to coincide (as if by magic) with getting people to upgrade the phones faster.

It's especially silly when you consider that Apple, a design-focused company, is making phones thinner despite using very obvious camera bumps on their phones -- a clear sign that maybe their phones shouldn't be that thin.

To be honest, that attitude doesn't sound any more enlightened or tolerant than the attitude of the person that was being described.

This is actually my main concern as well which is atleast addressed with a solution. Upgrading SSDs is the other but I don't like using Thunderbolt.

I really want to stay with Mac OS, but Apple just makes it harder and harder with every year while Windows is getting a little better at the same time under Nadella.
In fact, both are true. It just depends on where you live.

What he said is the case within the European Union due to some EU law regarding warranties. I believe in the EU an extended warranty like AppleCare only goes into effect after the original warranty has expired. There are also statutory warranty periods of a year (I think) for devices like the iPhone.

In the United States, on the other hand, AppleCare replaces the original warranty rather than adds onto it.

Here's a page describing AppleCare within the UK: https://www.apple.com/uk/legal/statutory-warranty/, which lasts for three years instead of the two within the United States.
Absolutely. The Social Network made them out to be moneygrubbing fools, but everything else I've read shows them to be actually quite intelligent and prescient.

Credit reporting and debt is a dumpster fire that needs to be rebuilt from scratch.

We need a new system where knowing the right pieces of information does not allow you to buy a car in someone else's name.
I can see this being very useful for Software Engineers, although I agree with you not directly for building systems. Scrum boards, build statuses and project statistics are good candidates for this system.

I can also see it being useful as a very general _and_ powerful prototyping tool, one of the demos shows someone making an input controller from a physical spring and a colored piece of clay.

When it becomes so easy to integrate your environment with the computer, I can only begin to imagine what's possible.
Here's a relatively new PR method developed by a grad student at Harvard. It's an interesting twist on STV that avoids the ballot complexity.

https://medium.com/@jameson.quinn/place-voting-explained-129...

I agree with others on this thread that the only solution to gerrymandering is some form of PR. PLACE voting is interesting because it doesn't require a change in the ballot and retains the notion of geographic districts.
Yep. Music used for commercial purposes (in the sense of used for marketing, advertising, etc.) still needs to have rights explicitly cleared.

I'm also not sure if everyone is part of the royalty umbrella organizations and fall under that regime.

I am constantly surprised by how robust and versatile Mel spectrograms (and Mel frequency cepstrum) are, despite the filterbanks and the transformations being relatively arbitrarily engineered and performed on evenly spaced frames.

These results seem fantastic nonetheless! I anticipate they'll be able to optimize the system to real-time generation or better within the next year, looking at WaveNet.
AWS has Config rules and Macie to help avoid these kinds of data breaches so basically the few excuses left for these now literally come down to variations of laziness or lack of willingness to fund usage of these services (that are really cheap compared to the cost of remediation a data breach disclosure to the public).

I want this sort of thing. My clients want this sort of thing.

Yep, it looks like you are right. I was passing along second hand information that I never bothered to verify. After some Googling I learned apparently Tesla only hides capacity at the low end to prevent a user from being stranded. The default settings also prevent charging to 100%, but that is fully transparent to the user.

As you say there could be some legal jiggerypokery but Apple claim it's still only two years for an iPhone:

> Up to 2 years from date of purchase for Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Apple Watch or Apple Watch Sport

With the price of iDevices rising there's probably a "reasonability" court case brewing where someone argues that a £1200 iPhone X should last longer than 1/2 years.

Edit: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/gua... says the default statutory warranty should be 2 years. What a mess.
One, rather drastic, approach would be making the data of everybody freely available to everybody, think post-privacy society.

I thought the first one was the clearest once you've read that the synthesised voice attempts to guess which words should be stressed from syntax: sentences beginning with the word "that" often should stress "that" because they're distinguishing that choice from some other, but probably not for this particular instance where it's an off hand reference to some girl from some video...
Huh, apparently there are about 125 million households in the US. I didn't realize it was that close.
Is the Farmer's Guild Rebate still available?
The problem isn't necessarily the replacement, even though it's certainly not for a large majority of iPhone customers. The problem is sourcing the battery in the first place. Apple certainly isn't supplying any of them.

In the best case you get one that works properly, if you're unlucky you might get one that has lower capacity, and if you're very unlucky you might just get one that puffs up and catches on fire.
Thanks. But no thanks. Even as a store of value it's crappy because of the public ledger. I would rather have some semblance of privacy in terms of my wealth.

The thing about California is, a lot of the people who move out there, eventually move back. I'm not privy to everyone's finances but I never got the feeling most of them were coming back with pockets filled with gold.

I'd be tempted to make the commute from Indiana to Chicago. Isn't there a train for it and everything? The commute's no worse than many in CA, although I suspect for a native it's viewed as a little extreme. (and of course, there's a lot to be said for actually living in Chicago)
Side Hustle Ideas for Software Developers
I have yet to be on a team where good white boarding was a prerequisite.
Making bitcoin transactions is digital equivalent of melting and recasting gold bars. You should not try this at home if you don't know what you are doing. This base-layer Bitcoin is not suitable for average Joe and I doubt it will ever be. Average people will have to move to upper layers where they will work with something more convenient backed by those gold bars. Hence Lighting Networks and/or Sidechains.

Apparently largest assembly sizes are normally fall somewhere around the cube root of the population. Obviously you don't want so many electorates that the house becomes unmanageable, nor so few the voters can't make an effective choice. See some political scientist's thoughts here: https://fruitsandvotes.wordpress.com/category/electoral-rule...

I have no idea if that's the ideal rule or how you might determine that.
There's no way to know for sure.

One thing we know is that the USD exchange volume for the last 30 days was about $295 billion [0] (or almost 100% of the market cap). However, a lot of this volume is due to the same group of traders circulating the same coins back and forth.

Ultimately and as other commenters pointed out, it doesn't really matter. It is possible that people who bought BTC with "hard earned cash" are statistically more unwilling to sell at a loss but that's about how much you could infer from that statistic in my opinion.

Thank you for looking! I've seen this "Tesla sandbags at the top" repeatedly on HN but you're the first person to respond when challenged.

BTW the car won't actually let you drive at low charge, so yes, you can be stranded because the car refuses to damage its battery. That's why it comes with a towing service.
I don't really consider it "prescient" to take stock over cash when you're already wealthy. It's more of a privilege.

The hash is a cryptographically random number. For it to be successful, it must start with seventeen zeros (base 16). The chance of a random number starting like that is 1 in 16^17, which is about equal to 1 in 3 x 10^20.

I can't reproduce the calculation from the article that got 1.4 x 10^20. But it does say "approximately 17 zeros" so maybe it really meant "the first 16 hex digits must be zero and the 17th must be either zero or one". That would give close to the right numbers, if I haven't messed up.

you appear to be missing the fact that there is no widespread desire by web developers or businesses to convert their webdev stack to an application development stack.

HTML, javascript and CSS are easier than C, C++ or Rust. Writing a website in HTML/CSS/JS and updating a website in HTML/CSS/JS are vastly simpler than writing a graphical application then rewriting and recompiling it.

As with Flash, WebAssembly will be implemented as fully integrated apps where it makes business sense, which will probably be a limited number of cases, such as graphics or media delivery. Everywhere else, it will either not be implemented at all, or be used alongside JS in the existing web.

Client software can be chosen by the user. Net neutrality is about protecting the user's choice to use the network how they wish. Choosing which piece of software to use is a part of that. In addition - unlike ISPs - browser vendors are not a natural monopoly, and there is established case law preventing it, so it's not about net neutrality, just anti-trust.
Not requiring a change of ballots when you are doing very different things with them is, IMO, a negative traits because it creates a false familiarity.

When you are changing how ballots work, this should be unavoidably obvious, even to people who spent the time the change was being debated in a coma or Antarctic research expedition.

Also, STV in small (~5 member) districts gets much improved proportionality from the status quo, keeps geographic districts, and increases the proportion of people with someone representing both their ideology and district simultaneously.
> If you have a breach of data, your tax goes up for a period of 10 years.

You do know it is impossible thwart all data breaches right? You can have the most sophisticated security system created and Zero-day attacks are still bound to occur. Data breaches occur without the companies themselves even knowing they took place... Geniuses are on the offensive side, if they want in, they will get in. No company in the right mind would agree to pay a tax when the inevitable happens. Just my 0.02

Probably because of the massive amount of racist rhetoric used in support of that position. It's not an inherently racist position, but when such a large portion of arguments in favor of the position use racist rhetoric it's hard to avoid being lumped in with those arguments.

A big problem with this is that a lot of data about you isn't owned by you. The fact that you took out credit card X on Y date and have paid the balance on time since then is owned by the credit card company you do business with (well, it belongs to you too, but businesses are more willing to trust Chase than you). This information has real business value from being a leading indicator and costly signal of your future propensity to repay debts.
It would be neat to provide an "iterations" parameter that runs the algorithm N times over the source image. It could be implemented a slider so the results can be animated, after a fashion.

I did this manually with the seagull photo, and some pretty interesting results occur. The seagull becomes increasingly compressed towards the left, and looks more like a seagull on even iterations than on odd iterations.

Just goes to show how entertaining a simple algorithm can be, nice work!
Same here. I went to a 3rd party place and they replaced it cheaper anyway, with no problems.
They offer bigger batteries in the form of the Plus and now the X.

They’ve obviously determined that it’s not worth it on the regular iPhone. I guess their surveys and stuff show that their customers would rather have the thin phone, on the whole.

How far down the list of top tech companies do you have to go before you come to one based in Canada? You won't find one in the top 10. You might not even find one in the top 50. If you're looking to bet on strength, that's not promising.

For whatever reason, Canada seems to be able to produce a real contender only occasionally. True, we had RIM and before that Nortel. But RIM is a shadow of what it once was, and Nortel is long gone.

In tech, Canada is a backwater, and seems likely to stay that way.

A dog raised properly with love and compassion, that isn't starved and doesn't have some sort of a brain tumor will never, ever attack its owner. It doesn't matter what breed of dog. This unfortunate story is very easily explained:

>Stephens had been living elsewhere and had left the dogs with her father. The dogs, which were previously indoor animals, were left in a kennel outside with little human contact, aside from a visit from Stephens about five times a week, Blackwood told reporters.

This woman abandoned her dogs and left them in an outdoor cage. Unfortunately this attitude is common. Many people view their pets (and, in some cases, their children) as accessories or possessions, and treat them as such. A dog is a member of your family, like a child. You don't simply decide to "live somewhere else" and leave your dogs behind (let alone leaving them in outdoor cages without human contact) any more then you would decide to "live somewhere else" and leave your children behind in an outdoor cage. If you have dogs, or children, you make sure that the place you plan on moving can house your whole family. This is a very sad story, but not surprising given her behavior and treatment of her dogs which no doubt (rightfully) felt that she had abandoned them.
I find the arguments convincing because they make sense to me. There's 0% of me as an iPhone user that's like, "man, I wish Apple had done more to extend the lifetime of flash."

And think about it: If Apple's only goal were to push people to the App Store, why bother to build a mobile browser with good html5 support? Why add a special mode where you could add websites to the home screen as icons, and they'd show up just like normal apps, launching into full-screen mode w/o chrome?

Maybe I'm buying bridges, but I take Jobs' at his word in the flash letter.

(Though, no doubt! Apple does love having ultimate control via the App Store.

(Which, as a completely separate topic, is terrible. They censor the whole thing to a PG-13 level and reject apps for arbitrary political reasons (e.g., a drone-strike notification app, Gab).

(It's truly a shame that the most important medium of our time is run like a totalitarian state.)
> I like the idea of mandatory data insurance

Why not just liability for lost data? Companies could then choose to hold the risk themselves or field it out to insurers.
Number of deaths caused by Islamic extremist terror attacks is a fat-tailed distribution, while deaths caused by lawn mowers is not. There is no organized movement among lawnmowers to rise up and kill people - the deaths happen by accident, and the odds of deaths increasing 1000% one year are very, very low. The same logic does not hold for terrorist attacks. There is no reason to assume an attack on the scale of 9/11 or greater will never occur again. These low-probability but highly significant events are not being factored in by Kim Kardashian West, and a lot of people are not thoughtful enough to consider them on their own.
This is false, you just have to wait for more confirmations. And if miners are censoring transactions there will be a fork where you can use your coins.
Lab-Grown Meat Is on the Way
AWS only has 20+% correctness?
As others have said on other comments on this article, everyone has to stop using that data (all of it) for purposes of verifying that you are who you claim to be.

My initial thought was "good luck with that", but maybe, in an ironic sort of way, these breaches are going to force that to happen.

"You say someone opened a credit card in my name, and you want me to pay for what they charged? What data did they use to open the account? Um, yeah, have you heard about the Experian breach? So you know that the entire internet has that data about me? Yeah, good luck collecting, suckers."

If that holds up in court (at not too great expense for the party being sued to pay the debt that isn't theirs), then financial institutions (all of them) are going to learn very quickly not to rely on that information for anything.
