It was the "YONTEX" kit. It's worked very well so far, but that's only about a week or so.

Time will tell, I guess.

I'm not completely sure if I understand the problems you've had but if your original batteries are bloating, you have a pretty serious problem and I would NOT look at a third-party battery to solve it. I'd contact Apple and go from there. Also, if it's not a model known to have this kind of problem, wrack your brain to see if you can figure out if there's an environmental issue. (E.g., something like the locker you leave it in when you go to the gym in the morning is actually in direct sunlight at the time you go in the season when you had the problem. Not to let Apple off the hook, just pointing out that if you've had two swollen batteries for a model of phone not known to suffer from that, then the easiest solution could be something more proximate to you.)
I went to a Yankees game, saw Blackbird with Jeff Daniels and Michelle Williams (forget the theater), Smalls Jazz Club in the West Village, Nom Wah Tea Palor in the Chinese district, Diwanekhaas in the financial district, walked the Brooklyn Bridge then around Brooklyn. I mention the different locations and where I went because I walked everywhere to and from then around if something caught my eye. The only time I didn't walk is when I took the subway from Smalls Jazz club was back to the apartment I was staying at which was near W 48th and 8th.

As I stated that was my first time visiting, so I am not really sure how that covers NYC from a local perspective - I was certainly tired after 5 days. However, I did see police everywhere I went, except at 2am when I was walking from the subway back to the apartment.
I have the 25th anniversary model and while the screen is not the best colour wise, it's still much better than the older panels and for programming it's bright and sharp with no ghosting or blotching.

The keyboard and battery life are both best in class. Of course when the battery is worn out, you can buy a new one. This is possible with ThinkPads.
> greater concentrations of poverty

Aren't there numbers to suggest that poverty itself is negatively correlated with both violent and property crime?
Which there's definitely a good use-case for. Sometimes you need something that just works without much configuration. React-dnd comes to mind as a package that goes the other direction and is super customizable, but not very easy to just drop in and start using. With dragtastic I've tried to strike a happy medium between the two. :)
> Interesting how the response of sites with terrible user experiences caused by ad tech is not to say “oh, how can we change our ads so people will accept them?” but rather to find ways to make their user experiences even more horrible, e.g. popping up new unwanted interruptions accusing you of having an ad-blocker.

That's not how online advertising works. If a user doesn't like ads, they block all ads indiscriminately. Changing ads doesn't do anything, because users will always block ads regardless of their quality, at least until the vast majority of ads are "acceptable" -- and even then, many demographics will continue blocking anyway. What is "acceptable", anyway? Make the ad small enough and/or dumb enough that it is no longer worth anything to the advertiser?

> stop making terrible user experiences.

There are plenty of websites with acceptable UX (or UX that isn't practically made worse by ads) that use ads. How many of them are on your whitelist? Do you even know which sites are showing ads if you use an adblocker?

> I’ll even tell you how to fix this: make more simple text ads, or images that are not animated and not peppered with distracting colors.

While this is a reasonable request, it doesn't change the fact that many/most people now have an adblocker on their browser.

There's no doubt this problem has been exasperated by malicious ad creatives. But the onus of correcting the problem lies in the hands of BOTH adblocker developers AND the online ads industry (including publishers, exchanges, and advertisers.)
Is there a reason innovative work always seems to feature such insane burn out? You hear it everywhere you see really major strides being made.

The thing I find disturbing is that moving slower doesn't just result in the thing coming slower. It seems to result in never shipping or a lack of innovation. It's like there is some kind of activation energy that must be overcome and the effect is non linear. Real innovation only ships at the threshold of collapse.

I find it disturbing because if true it means innovation is Molech, a god that demands a kind of human sacrifice in the form of burnout, destruction of health, loss of relationships, etc.
Bitcoins transaction volume is capped, because of the block size limit. So rising the transaction volume isn't even possible. At least not without Miners aggreeing to a fork.
This is also why the prices are so high. Miners have an incentive to not change block size because they earn much more money if their product (transaction spots in the block) is scarce.
Yeah, this is a much harder problem to solve than most people realize, particularly in areas that see a lot of snow. In Stockholm you see these signs as well, and in fact on winters with a lot of snow you’ll see people literally shoving snow off the top of buildings in order to minimize dangers and reduce weight on the rooftops.
A lot of people don't exactly live long or good lives now.

They're typically not qualified for much of the labor needed in a colony, but that's another problem. We only need a tiny percentage of the eligible. Some people really have different priorities than confort and longevity. Many of them are risking their lives on Everest, for much less.
Sure, they don’t intentionally sabotage lifetime of their devices but they don’t really invest in increasing them either.
Wasn't clear to me. The article is about a restaurant in France in the middle of nowhere.

French families don't have that kind of money to spend on a restaurant. That could work with international tourists in Paris.
Better being throttled than having to endure boot loops, daily crashes and a battery dead at 5 pm honestly..
I am very surprised when people express dissatisfaction with their password manager, because KeePass and its ecosystem is basically perfect. Keepass2Android is especially good.
I was surprised to find out my son's robotics team used old phones as robot controllers. No idea what software they used.
Reflections on My Facebook Experiment
What a great story, I remember I found the same mod on a server and I played for one month on a daily basis until I got rich, mostly by taking advantage of the trading system as well.
Just that in my case the economy crashed and we were forced to start over.
Anxious about a speech? A startup wants you to pop a minty cardiac drug
The perspective I'll offer is that good sales copy is also a skill, just like engineering or any of the other skills you mention.

To be good at sales copy also involves many factors, like interviewing your prospective customers, understanding what language they use to describe their problems, listening for what dreams they actually have, addressing their concerns by establishing credibility, and having a strong desire to help them achieve their goals.

Good sales copy doesn't aim to "trick" people; it aims to show that the product being sold will achieve the prospective customer's goals.

The reason I'm sharing this perspective is that many engineers do look down on marketing and sales copy as something that's automatically "bad." And that automatic association does them a disservice.

They write awesome code or build awesome products and features that could add so much value to the world, but they then just expect anyone to automatically see that value. They don't take the time to understand what their users' problems might be, to share how what they built might solve those problems, and to "market" their solutions. That mismatch of supply and demand ends up being a missed opportunity, and sadly, this happens all the time.
Yes, that makes sense. But that's entirely unrelated to what I'm pointing out here.

(Some of) the article is making the argument that investors should decide for themselves how over- or undervalued certain segments of the economy are.

So on one hand you'd have a diverse market cap weighted index where you buy into stocks representing the proportional to their portion of the economy.

On the other hand you might think you have special knowledge to layer on top of that. Are banks undervalued? By how much? Let's say 10%. Then let's sell something else to buy 10% more banks, now what's 10% overvalued? Tech?

I've yet to see any sort of compelling data that this sort of managed investing is a good idea, and that's what it is.

Just because you're not buying TSLA and instead just disproportionately buying "car stuff", or not selling AAPL but just selling "tech stuff" you're still trying to pick stocks and trying to beat other stockpickers doing the same thing. You're just picking subsets of the economy instead of individual stocks.
Not really. It is an evaluation of the cost of migrating to a different ecosystem and set of workflows.
That's a pretty strong claim, is the difference significant there? What's your source on that?
The problem there isn't the distribution technology, it's the monetization technology. If you don't want to be advertised to, pay for your content.
Two things to note about heavy vehicles.

Often the power plant size is less than you would expect. Partly because drag is proportional to frontal area and goes up with the square of the vehicle size. While load is proportional to volume, goes up with the cube. That points to passenger cars being the worst case scenario, not trucks and buses.

Second, batteries are a tech that just scales lineally. Double the capacity of a battery pack? Double the weight, volume, and cost. Consider with a bus the metric isn't battery size per bus, it's battery size per passenger.

Add for electrified heavy equipment like tractors, etc. The extra weight of the battery is a bonus not a negative. You need weight to get traction not HP.
They acknowledged they made a mistake and I buy their apology. I’ll be getting the battery in my 6 replaced and selling it got an iPhone X now. Kudos Apple but more so to those who sued and all the coverage the sleuthing the Geekbench guy did to get us here.
Some adtech startup should just quit playing games and go full creeper mode:

* simple text-only ads

* give the advertisers the tools to generate text content that is minimally distracting, maximally invasive, maximally creepy, and maximally personally-identifying

"$35,000 in debt, unemployed, recently dumped and insecure about your male sexual identity? You deserve this special price on Axe Body Spray..."

The buzz alone would get people to turn off their ad-blockers just to see what content gets generated for them.
Maybe this was because I read TFA outside the paywall, but I find the included chart obnoxious in that it just has a vertical scale from 100 to 300, with no indication as to what that scale represents. Is it sales? Productivity? Number of press releases? Who knows?
Yeah here in Los Angeles your tenant can put your building manager in the hospital on a meth induced violence binge and even destroy the property but they won't make an arrest even when there's a victim in the hospital. So for example this crime that really happened was not allowed to be reported.
>> Chicago apparently has greater concentrations of poverty, particularly among African-Americans

So how does that explain Detroit, which has more poverty than Chicago, but also has a NYC-like downswing in homicides?

In metro Detroit, 49% of African Americans who are poor are living in census tracts where at least 40% of the residents are poor, the highest rate among the Top 25 metro areas
I live in Chicago, and this is a bunch of fuss over nothing. The 'watch out for ice' signs are everywhere and a ton of places get cordoned off in the winter. This is not unusual or unique to the new Apple store.

Have also been to the store and the blocked off area doesn't impact egress/ingress.

The real flaw of the new Apple store is its glass walls and their tendency to trick birds into flying into it. The ice thing is a non-story.
It's not speed so much as cost. Native means developing the app 2-3 times over with different languages, apis, and patterns.

There is no reason for it to be this way other than vendor desire for lock in. In the end what the vendors will get is the web eating the desktop. Serves them right.
I understand that. But once adblocking ensures that the cost of an impression via an “ad network” is an order of magnitude higher than the alternative - their trust will likely increase.
Interesting. I didn’t know about table spaces.
Lambda calculus, unless extended, has no data type other than the function (even numbers have to be built out of functions as Church numerals), and doesn't have access to its notation as a data structure. Lambda calculus has no symbol data type. We cannot fire up lambda calculus and have an interactive session in it in which almost everything is mutable. Lisp was named for "list processing"; lambda calculus has no lists: no cons, no car, no cdr. No quote to get a piece of syntax as a nested list data strucure. No eval to evaluate an expression. No apply to treat a list of items as arguments to a function.
I want the option to turn this off.

What Apple is saying in this media release is "pay us and we'll fix it".
I dislike animosity based on falsehoods because it diminishes society as a whole. Look at the loss of trust in the media as a consequence of last year's election as a giant red flag in that regard.
You really want Apple to put a “Crash: on/off” checkbox in Settings?
Symbolic Links Did Not Work as Expected
1) The canonical answer is: there was no before, the singularity happened at delta_t=0. It is a mathematical construct resulting from extrapolating a physical model backwards in time which somehow converges. I'm not sure its not just convention. The big bang didn't create space time. It is space-time indeed and we know nothing (absolutely nothing, I believe!) about an object that has no spacial or temporal extend. All they are interested in is a few seconds after.

And the other big point is that our concept of time might be flawed. Maybe in relativistic terms, from our point of view it was a few seconds, but it actually took an eternity and you could keep observing closer and closer to the origin (in the diagrammatic sense) but never reach it, so who even cares, still? So, in a way more easily grasped by humans, it would be more apt to say, there is no after, because we will possibly never get behind it in our way forward. Does that seem sensible to you?

2) Because that's when the size of the universe in the calculation reaches plank scale? I'd like some correction because I have read before that plank scale is not actually a hard physical boundary, but I believe we just don't have the tools to say anything about that time with any certainty. And don't be mistaken, there are loads of competing theories and all have warts, paradoxes and open questions. Such is life, ironically, which I still think is a comfortable closure.
Adderall risks: much more than you wanted to know
my Nexus 9 has worked well for years and of all of the Nexus products I have purchased (4,5,9,10,5x), it has been the most reliable over time. I don't see anything to replace it with.
'Bitcoin is the perfect bubble, but blockchain is a remarkable solution'
I've only got two IPOs under my belt, but both cases the 1st trade settled above the preferred price in the last round. I think that's fairly typical, fwiw.
Maybe they're getting paid per unit of user suffering.
It still stands that the transactions themselves aren't what are costing energy. I do think the miners incentive to keep fees high is a perverse side effect of the system. In this respect it's healthy that hard forks and altcoins are present to put competitive pressure on BTC core to evolve. Lightning network, if implemented, should do much to improve the situation.
> even though millions of similar batteries in Android phones apparently didn't require a similar secret performance degradation

You know for sure how the power-management code works in every Android device ever produced?
Still got my iPhone 3G and it’s suprisingly fast with iOS 4. Had to downgrade though to get back some performance
When the truth of one issue goes against a person's political leanings, that person will generally say whatever they can to avoid feeling guilt or shame.
And they still sell the T25 model which is basically a maxed out T470 with the perfect seven row keyboard. A superb laptop with Linux.

Soon though the T480 is out with the quad core ulv CPUs, so maybe waiting is also an option...
For uBlock it depends on whether the script is hosted on a blacklisted site. If it is, the script won't get loaded, but if it isn't, uBlock isn't going to do anything about it.

uMatrix does prevent this as long as you keep the script blocked. But of course you're going to be out of luck if you have to allow scripts from the host that also hosts the script that exfiltrates the data. Sadly, there aren't really many sites left that function without at least partial JavaScript execution. Thus, as was mentioned in other comments already, disable auto pasting for your browser or possibly use a plug-in that disables it for you, as you can't really rely on uBlock, nor uMatrix, to reliably protect you against this.
Using a Yubikey to Sign Git Commits in WSL with Gpg4Win
I don't know, it might be much easier.

I myself went on one, found it helped concentration, but neglected to keep up a daily practice since.
What about the people who bought new phones because of performance issues?
This is super cool!

However, I do note that once FLIR devices become commonly available in the US, it will be constitutional for the police to use them to spy on your in your home and then use the resulting evidence against you in court.

The industry does not optimise for reliability, we optimise for speed of release. See the explosion of Rails, followed by the explosion of browser-based UI kits: simplicity of development is what people want, because all pressure comes from time-to-market. This is a natural consequence of dealing with a still-booming field.

I don’t think there is a solution unless we start talking laws, and you can bet everyone here would hate that.
Who complains about React being slow?
How can it not be a waste of human labor to have devices with artificial roadblocks to extended lifetime in place? We have sources of renewable energy, but human potential is the most valuable thing of all. Despite all our advances in manufacturing technology, they seem to be exploited largely to make more stuff faster that needs to be replaced sooner, and the humans never seem to benefit with a reduction in labor.
Hmm that does not seem to be fighting the MBP... more like fighting the $1000-$1300 HPs, Dells, and so on

Battery life is not best in class in my experience, either. My manager who loves his new X1 Carbon with the OLED screen admits it’s got terrible battery life.

The keyboards are fine but not better than, say, MBPs from a couple of years ago. (Half millimeter travel on the latest MBPs is not great.)
From the article:

> We’ve always wanted our customers to be able to use their iPhones as long as possible. We’re proud that Apple products are known for their durability, and for holding their value longer than our competitors’ devices.

From their website, linked from the product page:
https://www.apple.com/batteries/why-lithium-ion/

Your Apple lithium-ion battery uses fast charging to quickly reach 80% of its capacity, then switches to slower trickle charging. [...] This combined process not only lets you get out and about sooner, it also extends the lifespan of your battery. [...] Apple lithium-ion batteries are designed to hold at least 80% of their original capacity for a high number of charge cycles, which varies depending on the product.

The poor have been priced out. Go to big cities that still have a large segment of objectively poor people and you will see the attendant crime.
As people have pointed out in other places it’s quite possible that at $30 they’re losing money on each repair (labor/parts/etc). It would make sense for the cost to go up after a year.

Hopefully it stays lower than it was. Maybe $50.
Early SGI systems, maybe as late as IRIX 5.x, actually shipped with "xhost +" as the default! I remember people putting these on the internet with no firewall (of course... this was the mid 90's) not realizing they could be key logged remotely...
It's the same Chinese company Didi (https://techcrunch.com/2017/08/01/chinas-didi-invests-in-tax...).

Over-here in Romania Uber is also scoring it big in cities like Bucharest or Cluj, almost all of the middle-class people between 20 and 40 years of age now use it, they've almost all stopped taking taxis (seen as too dirty). I'm one of the few exceptions in my circle of friends (I'm in my late 30s) who still uses taxis taken directly off the street or by actually calling a phone number, because I don't want another company tracking my every move (it's enough that Apple and most probably Google are doing it).
It is amazing how this phone just keeps on working doing everything I want it to do. The only thing I wish it had was a better camera, but apart from that it is near perfect.
There's a world of difference between trying to build a house on Mars, and trying to build a house whose every external wall is a water tank, having that water tank also be an active water source (as opposed to a frozen block of ice) is going to be a construction and maintenance / cleaning nightmare.

Even just regolith sandbags are going to suck, instead of just having your roof be a simple pressure vessel it's now going to also have to withstand tons of sandbags and water tanks.

And that's before we get to the problem of trying to either ship all of this extra water mass over, or trying to mine it locally, or the construction logistics of piling up hundreds of tons of sand.

All of this will be needed eventually, but it's absurd that NASA is trying to get in the way of Mars colonization by setting these overly conservative safety requirements which'll significantly hinder initial colonization efforts.

If the phone is in warranty then they’ll take care of it for you. If it’s out of warranty then it doesn’t matter.
I strongly suspect you need more than poverty or racial ghettos to get a crime epidemic. You need a culture of criminality combined with one or more criminal industries to make it a viable "career choice."

I really wish crime statistics would be broken down by apparent motive (if known). That might actually tell us something.
The battery is not underprovisioned. Every single battery starts to go bad eventually. The question is what to do when it does.
There is no duty for a company to provide social security for contractors. Same way as an Uber contractor has no responsibility to drive a certain amount of time or at certain hours.
