Even back when batteries were easily replaced, I don’t think that stopped people from getting new phones every couple years.

I still have a perfectly useable Android with a replaceable battery.

People still upgraded right past it to built in batteries.
In the linked article, FreeBSD+zfs was half as fast as linux on the read only tests.
Yes, but it doesn't matter if you need 1 or 5 drinks to feel tipsy. When you feel tipsy, then you shouldn't drive, legal or not. You are endangering other people's lives.
Thanks for the suggestion – I've just spent the last 2 hours looking into it and it looks good. Seems like development is still going strong too. I'll pick it up over the weekend if I'm not otherwise busy.
These numbers are for the entire city, not just Manhattan. The bad old days of the late 70s-early 90s are over, just accept it. It's weird how hard some people fight good news.
I have never seen a soda dispenser that didn’t have a switch for water and/or carbonated water.
I'm still using the 3GS I bought 2nd hand 5 years ago.

Only in the house as a backup phone left permanently on charge because the battery is 99% gone.

Even though it's a little heavy, the curves make it feel nicer in the hand to me than any phone Apple has produced since.
My desk is as clean as possible. Keyboard, 4K monitor, SD monitor, mouse, place for cup. I clear it every evening before I go home.

Middle shelf is purposely kept empty. I put everything I want to remind myself to take out of the room - keys, wallet, phone, cups, plates, pizza boxes.

> So if a compromised ME gets a chance to execute code after new firmware has been flashed, it can read out that new firmware and reinfect it.

Yeah, or it could just fake the flash operation. Much easier than re-infecting a potentially unknown firmware. Lots of oppurtinities here.

>And that means that even direct flash via SPI won't work unless you can take the ME offline, flash the firmware, and then restart the motherboard without ever giving the compromised firmware a chance to do anything. Which I'm not sure is... entirely possible

It looks like the ME processor can execute instructions from the firmware/spi region, its own memory, or from a reserved region in RAM. During the SPI flash, if the ME CPU is not offline, then it has the potential to accidentaly execute instructions out of the firmware region being flashed to and cause havoc. This may necessiciate that the ME MCU enter some kind of idle state during flashing, and then be rebooted. Although, as an aside, maybe the flashing works by copying to an unused region and then fliping a 'new firmware at location X' bit and rebooting the ME CPU which will then do the actual flashing. I haven't found any details yet, but I haven't looked that hard either.

So you build that and then do some sort of full scan over the pixels to figure out what's hidden? Sounds really slow
Netflix has to spend 2x as much on bandwidth

Obviously, things can change with Network Neutrality repeal, but: exactly whom are they paying for that incremental uptick in bandwidth usage (i.e. on the margin)?
> I really desperately want to read scientific information about the world that I can trust isn't being filtered through the biases and passions of humans. I want to be able to trust that people are following the data to wherever it may lead.

Good luck. That’s inherently impossible (and there’s good science on the subject).

However your core point is correct: the article is an absurd misrepresentation of the study. I agree with you that we need more attention to squashing concious bias.
Well, let me explain to you it then.

It's a little bit of a mix of security through obscurity and security in event of sshd having the vulnerability. It won't save you from a targeted attack but will save from blanket "scan 22 port and try root" attacks.

The same way moving ssh from 22 port to something else helps. If you see someone brute-forcing your root you can dismiss it since it's just someone found open 22 port, but if your actual username is being used in attack then you can detect the targeted attack.

Now having password-less sudo is almost the same as using root.
If I have a MoviePass I can go to any theatre. That means I can go watch a movie with my friend who lives in the Bay area, or my Grandmother who lives in Arizona. Your question, "Why would I drive further to see a movie?" is exactly why multi-chain subscription is superior. Because I don't always go to one theatre in one city.

How this is different from how resize2fs can resize a mounted ext4 filesystem?

xfs may still be better than ext4 for some workloads, but "it's there" is not a reason why someone should use it.
There's a free battery replacement "quality program" for that issue. [1]

As I understand it, a lot of the pixel-shifting is to avoid de-bayering effects, not to provide superresolution. I'm more familiar with the A7RIII, so perhaps the Hasselblad does superresolution?

Unwinding sub-pixel structure requires, in general, careful deconvolution algorithms.
I'm sure ATP knows what is and isn't popular on their show. All three hosts don't need to be in alignment on an issue; having three parrots reciting the party line would be horrible. The fact that Casey is the less technical, touchy feely (hell he's on a podcast named analog for chrissake) is part of ATP. As is making fun of his white cars.
The same way constant folding is done in any compiler. You try to emulate the math on the target.

D is quite specific what computations occur at compile time and what at runtime. It's very much up to the user in how he sets it up.
Yes, I own an iPhone 6 and it works fine. My battery is around ~75% health and I sometimes get underclocked, it's still fast enough for me though.
Do you have any evidence that this much battery degradation would happen after just one year? I highly doubt that, unless the battery was very heavily used or was exposed to extreme temperatures.

The car analogy is not great. First off, new cars cost way more than phones, and are built out of very different types of components. Secondly, cars absolutely need maintenance, and generally more than $29 a year.

For what it's worth, both the charging methodology and the longevity metric they describe are industry standard. The fact that would actually be interesting to know is the precise number of charge cycles they target for 80% capacity, but of course that isn't disclosed. So that website may sound impressive on first glance but they aren't actually claiming better durability (in the sense of battery longevity) than the competition.
Maybe so, and many Americans aren't understandable to me as an Indian. I just wanted to point out that not being understandable is a statement about the person making it as much as it is about the people it's ostensibly about. Indians, in this case,
By trolley bus do you mean what are also called “trackless trolleys” — busses with tires but no fuel storage that get power from an overhead line?

I’ve presumed that the infrastructure buildout and lack of flexibility make the TCO generally not worth it. In addition, if you need a mix you may get an economy of scale on one set of gear (maintenance, parts, flexibility etc — like a single-model-of-aircraft airline).

But this is speculation on my part
I just gave a Samsung Chromebook Pro to my 83 yo mom. She has been a long time Windows user, so wasn't sure she'd pick it up. She loved it.

This model runs Android apps natively, so it has access to all apps in the Play Store. Some weren't converted to take full advantage of large screen resolutions, but so far I haven't found anything that doesn't run.

She had a very short learning curve; in a day or two she was doing everything she used to do with Windows (which wasn't much - email, photos, browsing, spotify, some light printing). The fact she was an Android user probably helped a bit. Also having a touch screen and pen was a huge bonus, so she doesn't have to fiddle with the mouse trying to click on tiny spots.

I considered buying a Pixelbook, but at 2x the price, it was hard to justify considering her use.

(Full disclaimer: I work at Google, but in a different team, not related to hw or Chrome/OS. I purchased the device at the store, full retail price)
>Sure, these SV companies have figured out how to build great tech at scale

Their tech is much disliked by most doctors. There's even a protest group LetDoctorsBeDoctors with a humorous song video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB_tSFJsjsw)

There is also a fully functional heavily tested free open source solution that most doctors prefer in surveys, called VistA or Openvista.

> Doctors at the VA really like VistA. In Medscape’s 2016 EHR Report, VistA was the top rated EHR overall and the most preferred solution for use as a clinical tool. http://hitconsultant.net/2017/05/10/reasons-not-to-replace-v...

I think that what Epic and Cerner have figured out is how to crack the corporate sales process. Doctors and patients don't choose the EHR system, managers do, and I guess Epic and Cerner are good at selling to them.

If any startups want to do a Red Hat type model building on top of VistA I hope they do well.
On the other hand, I'm glad they don't. I work at a desk, not "in the field." I don't want Apple to do anything to make the phone less attractive. I'll just plug it in.
Lol yes, it should totally say "crash" and then "true/false". In fact the user should have to type the string "true" or "false" in a text box rather than using a switch or check box.

Fallacies involved in your response: strawman and false dichotomy.
What makes the matter worse is this ridiculous trend that all websites have adopted of making a two step process, one for login, another page for the password. I see no good reason to do so, and if the password manager does not prepopulate the credentials, it forces the user to do many clicks to go through the process. This is really a moronic design.
> It turns out that many ad providers are offering anti-blocking tech in the form of scripts that produce a variety of “bait” content that’s ad-like — for instance, images or elements named and tagged in such a way that they will trigger ad blockers, tipping the site off.

you don't need a provider to help detect ad blocking in most cases. just serve a script from your server called `ads.js` that modifies some global js variable or does an ajax post to some endpoint indicating it was served....or "pixel.gif".
I wish content suppliers would listen more to clients. Clients want more content without ads, so why not invest more into offering content without ads?
Why is the US not investing in these kinds of infrastructure build outs? I’m not trying to start a flame war, I’m generally curious.

I understand the path dependence that, for example, made the US adopt mobile phones much later than everybody else (a modern and high quality wire plant that wasn’t yet amortized). Things like that make things like train networks hard to build too.

But bus fleets turn over relatively quickly and incrementally as well. What’s the barrier? The announced deployments all seem like small beer.
Companies spend billions of dollars in emotionally manipulative marketing campaigns in order to convince them not to prioritize better.

There's a few HVDC transmission lines around the world. There's one in my country[0] that goes between the 2 main islands. There have been some good advancements in ultra-high-voltage-direct-current (UHVDC) manufacturing, so hopefully it sees some inroads into industry soon.

I don't want to be glib here, but I think that the fact that you refer to your camera as a mirrorless DSLR (dslRs by definition have mirrors) is part of the reason why you can replace it with a somewhat better phone sensor.

There is nothing wrong with doing that, but it's possible because you have limited needs.

The thrust of this is that opiod manufacturers should be sanctioned, charged with crimes, etc. But don't we do that already with cocaine, meth, heroin, etc.? Why should going after the suppliers work for opiods when it failed for every other drug?
My son's few-years old iPad (who knows what model since Apple stopped actually naming them) turned into a lagfest after the iOS 11 update. UI operations are choppy where they used to be smooth. Could it be the battery?

Samsung, under intense criticism from their Note 7 battery scandal, didn't increase battery capacity with their S8. Instead, they opted to take steps to greatly improve battery life (total capacity loss over time). Whilst I still think retaining 95% after a year is wildly optimistic, I'm happy with this change of focus (yes, I bought one).

PS. I noticed that Apple uses lifespan where I use life, and life where I use capacity. Verdict?
Content suppliers would like to eat. Many clients don't want to pay for content, and nobody has yet figured out how to make micropayments blossom.

Bill gate is not that rich
The figures don't tell the story of all of the burroughs. Can you convince a cab to take you to the Bronx after 10 pm? I've had quite a few drivers tell me that they refuse to go there.

Btw, the 'mourning old New York' thing pisses me off as well, as things have moved on and it's a welcome change that crime is down in Manhattan. I'm observing, not judging, when I say that the the city is playground for the rich.
Both of those scenarios have a safe fall-back based on gender expectations. When you mix genders, the fall-backs disappear. In tech, this is virtually always a problem faced by a woman in a male-dominated workplace. If she's ever momentarily in doubt, there's no safe direction to err.

This description indicates that women have no real choice but to handle it differently from a man, which kind of makes your question moot.

One of the things I frequently talk about is having been molested and raped as a child. It certainly can happen to boys, but seems much more common for girls. This often gets me comments to the effect of "I am so sorry for what you suffered" as if I am in need of a shoulder to cry on.

Given that I do it often in public on an overwhelmingly male forum, I have difficulty trying to fathom why that isn't interpreted as extremely thick skinned, ballsy bitch instead. But I don't get a whole lot of "Holy cow, woman. You really hold your own!"

And I think I will stop there because I don't really know how to interact with your conclusions, so I am not sure good communication can happen here.
That's what adwords tries to do. There's a substantial premium on relevance.
Eh- the structure carrying problem- was kind of answered in your own post. We regularly build roads out of ice- and ice infused with carbon has the strength of steel. So frozen beams of water carrying the sandbags it is?

Also - the simple designs have a problem here- they are not easily repairable with local materials.
And as you can see on any airplane- those simple soda can designs- wear out pretty fast, if pressure changes regularly. So, yeah- its a simpler design as in - simpler on earth to maintain, but on Mars its going to blow up like Mark Rodneys Potatoefarm from stress around the airlocks.
This pattern is used for SSO. It doesn't make a lot of sense to request a password from a user who is using a SSO solution. The issue is the website needs to do a look up on the username to determine which SSO solution the user might be using.

There might be a better pattern for this, such as making the determination through a xhr request when the username field loses focus.

Two other reasons may be aesthetics, and the environment - Beijing gets sandstorms but it doesn't get typhoons. Per CLP (just across the border in Hong Kong):

Overhead lines are exposed and susceptible to the influence of weather and the external environment.

Most places? Places like what? Even Germany, with its rather restrictive gun laws, has exemptions for private security companies allowing to carry weapons.

While I don't know any specifics, I doubt that it's gonna be that much more difficult, in Eastern Europe out of all places, to get a legal carry permit.
Yeah. People talk about how nice the phones are, but honestly, I feel like Apple takes the easy way out in this regard. It's easier to make what they do when you don't have to worry about letting users services the device. The flip side is, when everything is so tightly tied together, the quality has to be that much greater. They should be held to a much higher standard because they have no one to blame but themselves.

In this case, this is completely on them.

So you worked at Apple during this timeframe, and had personal experience of this management style? Or you're just regurgitating what you saw in a Reddit post?
Yes, all "X is less than Y" statistics are meaningless unless there the convention you mention is strongly held by journalists when they interpret studies - which is unlikely.

i.e. it'd be very easy for a study to say "we have shown that it's likely that the effect size is less than 1%" and then a journalist to interpret that as <1%, and then for a reader to incorrectly think "they wouldn't have said this if it were actually 0.1% or lower".
It’s really simple:

1. It’s impossible for Apple to make a device that perfectly pleases everyone

2. Not all feature sets are possible

3. Apple constantly makes decisions about which trade-offs to make

Sometimes you’re just not the target market for a device a company makes. That’s ok, and it isn’t necessarily the fault of the company that such is the case, they just opted for a different feature set than the one you would have preferred.
