The Ultimate Guide–Difference Between Usability and User Experience
This happened regularly on all my laptops, though, so it doesn't surprise me it was happening to people's phones. Reported percentage was based on design capacity instead of last-full capacity, and shifted so 100% is "Full". So when the percentage reaches right about the point where all that's left is the degraded part of the battery, it suddenly jumps to about 3%.

(Since figuring that out almost a decade ago, I've been using my own battery-monitor script to see both percentage and health, so it's easy to see what's going on and just how bad my battery has gotten. Maybe the default notifications are better now?)

The tl;dr is that the state of research on Adderall/Ritalin effects is "overall terrible" but risks seem to be low, with a possible increased rate in Parkinson's being the most troubling long-term effect.

The last graf seems to contain the gist of things:

> Despite all this, I compare these risks to the risks of eating one extra strip of bacon per day and decide that overall this is not enough for me to stop prescribing stimulants to patients who I think might benefit from them. These are about the standard level of side effects for a powerful medication and I think there’s a major role for these in ADHD treatment as long as patients are well-informed about the risks they’re taking.
I think their point was that that isn't legal in many places.
Nitpicking a bit, but from the description of the content, this rather seems to be a series of books on implementation of operating systems rather that on OS design. While this is certainly a worthwhile topic, I find the series title to be misleading.

I think you make some good points, I prefer the practical perspective.

Lastpass seems to lack a fair amount of usability polish, but it’s all relative maybe no one is better.

For example, why when adding new sites, it likes retain even super long useless query param strings that clutter the interface. Without going into detail, this is in no way technically necessary for most cases.

Also, they already have the ability to pre-associate common login sites, yet won’t do it for many popular domains. For example, there are a few stack exchange sites with different domains but that use the same credentials. Why should I have to manually set this up for a site that’s not far from the top 100 in traffic on the planet? It’s been requested, they won’t do it. Pay a damn intern to pre-associate the top 500 domains at least when needed.

There are many other practical examples.

But again, maybe the bar just isn’t that high in this category of software.

I used to do something similar in WoW, but less on the "know every item in the market", mostly just a few crafting subsegments. There was a Auction House plugin that let you monitor/record prices, so it was easy to learn the normal price/supply of materials. Especially for things that didn't trade at a high volume, it was easy to see that some uneducated player had listed a single jewel at .5x the actual value and then auto-buy and flip it for 100 Gold profit. As OP says, I do miss that feeling of completely understanding something and being able to ruthlessly exploit it.

> But when was the last time you heard about an automated train startup? When did you hear about someone leaving their job at Facebook to go work on train automation? Trains do not appeal to rich billionaires or American tech workers in the same way that cars do, so funding for them comes entirely from the capex budgets of mostly government funded rail operators, and is spent on a handful of large engineering conglomerates.

I think this is it
I'm not a manager, but the people I've worked with best over the years are the ones who have shared a bit of themselves at work.

People who act 'professional' all the time aren't trustworthy to me. It's impossible to have a frank discussion since they're always hiding behind the veneer of professionalism. They overrate their own ability to fool an audience, and it erodes everyone's ability to trust them.

I'm not saying everyone needs to blurt out their feelings 100% of the time. I'm saying honesty isn't only reserved for touchy-feely millenials. If you cultivate a culture of honesty rather than dog-eat-dog deception, you'll get better feedback from your employees, you'll be able to give feedback easier, and teams will be more comfortable speaking up instead of sweeping the garbage under the table.

The problem with the woman in the interview wasn't that she was being honest, it's that she was framing her honesty in an unproductive way.

I understand your point, but now you can see how my fear of talking battery replacements came true. Probably millions of people bought new iPhones this year because they were deceived. Next day after my comment and all the discussions Apple announces they will make replacements cheaper. But those millions are still basically f*cked. And Apple will get away with it because most people complained about replaceability of the battery, while the only real issue is straight up illegal deception. Talking about battery swappability only serves Apple by driving conversation away from it. They will never make battery swappable unless there's a regulation to force it.

> We can't because we do not care enough

There's a difference between "me" and "we". "We", the majority, could, if we cared. "I", alone or even in a sizeable minority group, can't make a difference, regardless of how much I care.

People can certainly be very self centered, but a big part of this _collective_ culture of either caring or not caring for various things has been manufactured entirely artificially by governments and corporations alike.

Having the stock after IPO trade at the old preferred price represents a significant increase of the actual value of the company, even though it's not usually reported as such.
Well advertisers have clearly shown that they can't be responsible with the controls they have. It's time their tools are taken away. I'm not sure that how this should happen, but this is a clear sign that something in this system is seriously broken.
They already do this if possible. The VAST majority of publishers are selling only a small percentage of their own ad space (the giants of the industry might be different, but even they probably have third party networks to fill gaps in their inventory). Instead, they partner with networks who auction ads off to the highest bidder. That bidder is usually going to be a company who trusts the ad network to track users and show ads relevant to either the interests they've shown or the current content.

I work with a publisher on these sorts of things (I am not an ad network, though). Some of those networks have strict prohibitions against showing ads on pages featuring certain types of content, and so we've had to build our own system to display ads on those pages which work with networks which are fine with that content. The publisher does sell its own ad spaces to interested local parties, but these are usually accompanied by periodical ad sales because the company ultimately makes more money selling ads through networks.
15% is a HUGE stake... Even Kalanick has <10%
99+% of all laws by content are not going to enter the public's awareness. Aka, if a tax bill is 1000 pages people may notice 10 pages worth of changes at the very high end, but that's about it. The average is far worse with many bills especially at the state or local level simply ignored in their entirety.

In practice this basically rounds to zero on most issues, especially over time.
While that sound smart and plausible, I would assume that there is some solution to that problem, otherwise how would private security work at all?

Puritanical drug policy in response to the anti-war and hippie movements on the 1960s has a lot to answer for and is a huge contributing factor to this current crisis.

- Under Nixon, the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 inexplicably made cannabis a Schedule 1 drug. Cocaine, by comparison, is Schedule 2.

- Cannabis became harder to get and more expensive than both cocaine and opiate based drugs.

- In 2016, a bill sailed through Congress and was signed into law by Obama with little discussion or concern. It was the result of pharma lobbyists. The bill made it nigh-on-impossible for the DEA to investigate and penalize drug companies of suspicious shipments of drugs [1].

An example of this is shipping NINE MILLION hydrocodone pills over a two year period to a single pharmacy in Kermit, WV with a population of 392 [2].

- A large number of people get onto heroin after becoming addicted to prescription opiates [3], which seem to be dispensed far more frequently in the US than in other developed nations [4].

- Not only does cannabis seem to reduce the rate of opiate addiction, it seems like it might help treat opiate addiction too [5].

I choose to be an optimist here. I see Trumpism as a desperate last gasp for a declining but increasingly militant religious conservative minority in the United States. As much as these short-term policy decisions hurt, I look forward to the day when Puritan ideals will no longer blindly dictate policy with no basis in fact whatsoever.

Don’t accuse people of lying - it won’t improve the conversation and unless you think everyone has the same job there’s no point in the argument.
Your analysis doesn't make sense to me, for a couple reasons:

1. You claim that unlimited subscriptions doesn't change behavior in aggregate, but do you have any evidence for this? Just look at Netflix - it has changed tons of people's behavior to watch more TV on Netflix than other entertainmentt options.

2. Your other examples of music subscriptions, eBooks, Netflix etc. aren't relevant because the economics are totally different. MoviePass is still paying full price for each movie. Spotify certainly isn't paying some sort of "full price" for each song you listen to. It seems like MoviePass would be most attractive to those who are most likely to take advantage of being able to watch tons of movies.

I agree with other commenters, I think MoviePass is trying to get mind share and heft so it can then be in a good negotiating position with theaters. That is, if you get a couple of theater chains to come on and agree to better economics with the subscription model, then consumers may start only going to MoviePass-supported theaters, putting MoviePass in a much stronger negotiating position.
There's a trade-off. Either your device becomes obsolete because it doesn't have the hardware capacity to support the requirements of a newer OS so you are stuck at an older version, or it becomes obsolete because the vendor allowed an upgrade that was detrimental to performance.

Crouton allows exactly that. Except for the limited disk space, I'm a big fan of the ChromeOS/Crouton option. I've used a Toshiba Chromebook 2 (? 1920x1080 screen) as my laptop for many years now.

Adding dedicated delete, home, page up, page down, etc. keys would make the chromebooks even better.

If we accept for the moment, that Lisa was just describing her sense of uneasiness -- her sense of trepidation -- that's different from "displaying my badass scars" or "telling it like it is about my actual life experiences".

That does seem like a reasonable reading of the original article.

I did start out by asking what dkarl thought about whether or not the original author would have thought differently, if a young man had said those things; or if his argument was that having trouble with saying those things was a problem. I'm not sure where you're going but it seems like you're saying, that I should accept your thoughts about your experiences as a conclusive answer to my question to dkarl. That seems strange.
Manhattan has increasingly become a gated community since the city neared bankruptcy in the '70s and the banks slowly negotiated more power in running things (as explained in Adam Curtis' 'Hyper-normalization' video essay). It's arguable that the NYPD has almost become a private security force for the city's wealthy residents, given how thin the presence is in places like The Bronx and East New York.

That's fine, but realize that all you're doing is complaining about the price of iPhones. You're asking for more for the same price (presumably, it would also be OK to get the same at a cheaper price.)

And that's really a separate question: should Apple (and other phone makers) include the price of a couple of battery replacements in the initial cost of the phone or not?

That's a fair question, but it's not fair to try to change the answer after you've purchased a phone.

Put another way, if you don't think an iPhone is worth what Apple is charging, then don't buy one.
Ask HN: Are SV tech firms biased against certain viewpoints – and is that bad?
Over the past three weeks, I've spearheaded a survey to better understand claims of viewpoint bias in Silicon Valley tech firms. We've gotten over 350 quantitative responses, over 100 detailed comments, and done more than a dozen one on one interviews.

We've heard corroboration from a number of folks who feel silenced, while also hearing from others who feel encouraged to express whatever views they want.

So, HN, I'd love to better understand your experiences working at tech firms in the Valley. Do you feel like there are certain things you can't talk about without fear of disproportionate punishment? Or is your workplace welcoming to all viewpoints?

Here are some of the comments we've gotten:

-A self-identified libertarian wrote, “I have lost multiple talented colleagues who resigned rather than continue in the face of an increasingly extreme, narrow minded, and regressive environment here at Google…When I started in 2004 I felt completely safe to bring my whole self to work, to express my (reasonable) thoughts and ideas to my coworkers, and to be generally unguarded and honest. Those days are loooong gone now.”

-A self-identified moderate commented how they were pleased with how interested executives were in being open to all viewpoints.

-A self-identified liberal mentioned they experienced “repeated calls, from managers and non-managers alike, for people to be fired for the political views they expressed” and “several managers admitting or encouraging the use of the company’s performance review process to punish employees for their expressed views, on the pretext that exposing their coworkers to those views represented a job performance issue.”

Not trying to overgeneralize but there’s definitely a correlation between poverty and gang activity. I’m also not necessarily suggesting gentrification is a net positive, just a big factor in declining crime rates in NYC.

In Manhattan, I think the last pockets of seediness were in Alphabet City but that has quickly gentrified as well. As far as I know gang-related activity near NYC is now concentrated in parts of Brooklyn and Long Island (I.e MS-13)
