Apple hid the cause (an ageing battery), and purposely slowed down peoples phones without warning.

If your phone randomly shuts downs, or it last less time between charges, you know it must be a battery issue. You go to Apple or whatever, and fix it paying no more than 79$ (maybe even free if it still has warranty!)

If you hide it and degrade performance, people don't know its a battery issue, leaving them to suffer a slow phone, or spending 700+$ on a new phone.

No matter the good intentions, and the "good solution" they implemented, they fucked up.

I didn't find any, so I rolled my own 10 years ago. Most of its features are suited toward very limited users. E.g. it doesn't really support macro evaluation from arbitrary language, only from Perl currently (but general for any target language). However,to support macro evaluation from arbitrary language seems trivial. It'll be just like gcc pulling different compiler together.

Easy. Before agriculture, calories were hard to come by. If you ran around for no good reason, that meant you wouldn't have enough energy to catch whatever animal was nearby when you needed food and you'd die. Death by hunger was a much more real threat than death by sedentary lifestyle when evolution was wiring all our circuits up.

What about JS is so odious? That it's Turing complete? Well, so is XSLT, yet you don't seem uptight about people implementing it.

JS does provide some very valid use-cases, and two of them that come to mind are interactivity and displaying static data that has no neat representation in HTML (e.g., Mathjax and d3.js for charting).

My point is that JS is far from the only massive, complex, potentially security-laden hole in a modern web browser. Audio/video codecs are notoriously complex, and font rendering also has this nasty habit of causing kernel crashes on Windows. These have been used for active exploits. The way you achieve security is you have to look at the risks and work out ways to mitigate them. There are ways to be quite secure even allowing JS execution.
I had the pleasure of seeing Nicolas McCarthy speak and play live a couple years ago.

He was born with only a right hand, and fought the odds to start learning piano at age 14. He eventually made it into and graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in London, their first one-handed pianist.

He plays a variety of left-hand-only repertoire. His playing is amazing, and his story inspirational.

I don't know whether to be impressed or freaked out by the capture of so much biometric data. On the one hand it would be convenient to not have to carry these little cards with me all the time to prove who I am and how I would like to pay for things. The only reason I take my cell phone to the gym is because my membership ID is too long to remember and its easier to scan the barcode at the front desk.

On the other hand giving your personal, persistent data to a 3rd party, which promises not to sell it or give it to the government, feels creepy. I know it's a trope but it really does remind me Minority Report and makes me wonder what type of Pandora's Box this type of thing would open.

There's a difference between battery life and battery longevity. The Galaxy Note 7 had a fairly beefy 3500mAh battery, but Samsung tried to cram too much capacity into too little volume. The unconventional pack shape created a substantial risk of internal shorts. Poor thermal management or aggressive battery management can vastly increase the rate of battery degradation, but they're non-obvious and most tech journalists don't have the knowledge needed to identify those issues.

Most consumers don't understand battery technology and don't know what's available on the market. They go into their local cellphone store and choose whatever looks nice and is recommended by the salesman. They aren't aware of handsets with bigger or user-replaceable batteries, because the industry hasn't really offered them the choice. I use a Chinaphone with a giant battery, but I have a lot of knowledge that no average consumer has.
thanks for the genuine reply and explanation, it was right at my level of familiarity as i'm just tangentially aware of accerlerationism/nick land. when i googled LD50 i realized I had heard of that too, and funnily enough twitter brings up alice maz's retweet of kantbot's coverage of it when you search the hashtag. unconditional accelerationism seems pretty stupid, i'll look on her TL with a little less charity now. thanks.
I’ve watched a handful, particularly when I was living (studying) in the states, and no doubt it is a game of strategy, and no doubt I don’t understand it well (as I mentioned). I hesitate with your strong endorsement of the intensive mental stress of it however, particularly when compared to the sports I mentioned, particularly Union, which lacks the long pauses and set pieces of NFL and requires more dynamic and on-the-fly thinking without coach or other input. I’m not saying it’s less than, but to use an analogy, I think for example Union is like the US Marine Corps (browsing their wiki article last night) where the outcome is the goal with the methods to be determined by the players, whereas NFL seems to be a continual discussion of strategy and set plays with sideline input, something not overly possible in union
Look at Pinterest, Twitter, Nextdoor, SnapChat etc - there are a generation of new advertising and content machines that are being built in different verticals as we speak. Ultimately, they'll hold all the distribution power across different contexts. I wonder what kind of publisher this kind of world incentivizes.
I fully agree with you that not being able to downgrade is one of the biggest issues at play.
When you arrive on most sites with ads, they don't make you to accept anything. They don't give you a term of service to read. You just click, and download the code, and it executes. It's an implicit contract, which means they sell your data without your consent, as most people don't understand what's going on.

Actually, even when you understand what's going on, the sheer number of things to check to get the full picture make it unpractical.

Your argument make sense if a website clearly make you click on a term of service like google does. In that case, you accepted a clear, explicit contract. Either consent or leave.

But that's not what happen with most services.

And because of that, it makes sense to use an ad blocker. You just prevent sites to make you pay a price that they don't disclose.

Another thing is:

- what they are doing is immoral

- what we are doing is not illegal

So the reason we should stop doing this for sites that DO disclose what they do is morality. But there is little incentive to be seek morality when playing with an immoral player. So there is not scenario here, where not using an adblock is a good strategy.
Are you saying that almost all of the best athletes in the world just happen to be born in America? Or are you claiming that the NFL training regime is so good that it allows them to beat everyone else in the world? Why would that be? It can't be the money. There's a lot more money in soccer, and unlike NFL it has a pool of talent that covers the whole world.

Are you in college? You will find that 3 is not all rosy as it seems to you right now, if you are not from a top tier or atleast decent tier college. I was like you back in college when I realized that heading to TCS etc was a dead career path from the start.

The better product startups all look for "IIT/NIT/whatever other brand college" students. Snapdeal, for eg, first switched the application engineer position that I applied for to other secondary positions, and then rejected me when I asked for the original position on this basis. There is no guarantee that you will find good things in other startups. I realize now that these companies have no better way of screening candidates, because the candidate pool quality in India errs on the side of less than decent. Doesn't justify the bait-and-switch but oh well.

If you do end up like I did, make sure that atleast the peer group in your startup is exceptionally talented, and that the startup is good with tech. The pay is shit in these kinds of startups (for eg those running as a small service company, but building their product behind the scenes), but the idea is to become really good at what you do and then jump ship to a good product startup.

Also, if you are still in college, it helps to have GSoC under your belt.

That kinda misses the point though (and it's only that price because of recent events, it was more expensive)

Apple themselves are describing batteries as consumable, and to me it doesn't work both ways, you can't describe something as consumable and seal it inside the device and still claim to be doing the best thing for the user. Either it's consumable and user replacement should be supported and within warrenty, or it's not consumable.
At least it's limited to a small few playing a sport, vs. pretty much every adult.
I wish, instead of fighting Ad Blockers, they would try as hard to fix they way they run ads. Not to mention the sites, which only exist to display ads and practically don't have their own content except for clickbait headlines.

A side comment: while blocking ads might reduce revenue for sites, it also means the advertiser has to pay for views by people who wouldn't click on the ads anyway.

Maximizing Battery Life and Lifespan
I don’t necessarily deny your broad claims, I just wonder where to draw the line. For example, given that obesity is a prevalent and serious health risk, not to mention that being more fit can make you feel better and be more attractive, is it inherently bad to advertise healthy food or other products that are intended to make you healthier?
FirstNet is based on LTE. Last time i looked into it, it was a private LTE network, with the ability to piggy back on public LTE when there's no private coverage (with a high priority). So you can forget about the simplicity of a basic PTT network. Here, it's MCPTT (Mission Critical Push-To-Talk), which is a layer on top of LTE leveraging the LTE multicast support (eMBMS) when applicable. So not exactly super simple.

There a protocol extensions for public safety on top of MCPTT. To better handle out of coverage situation (D2D or ProSe, which is device-to-device communication with relay support too), to hook custom applications on the network side, etc. But the infra is LTE, so at least it leverages an existing technology. Still, with some additions on top to better support public safety use cases.

And the "obsolete" part is not very convincing. Yes, there's a lot of hype about 5G but LTE will be long lived and perfectly fine for such an application for a long time. I can't comment on the overall efficiency of the FirstNet program, but the idea of leveraging LTE instead of rolling a custom tech or keeping using old and inefficient ones seems sound to me.
Be careful as there are rumors of people using machetes to separate these watches from their owners on the street in certain countries just to reduce time, effort and risk.
Better having faulty hardware replaced tbh. Especially expensive hardware.
Same issue here. Google won't do anything now. A lot of people took advantage of the Pixel handouts. (I'm not defending them, it's total BS.)

For the current version, it's not too bad if you're on a "popular enough" OS. For example, Firefox has a bootstrap.py script for Linux which will install the right packages on either Ubuntu or Fedora Core. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_g...

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_g... lists the actual set of libraries and whatnot needed; converting those to the relevant package names for the Linux distro of your choice is tedious, but not too hard.

For an old version, things could be more complicated, depending...

I am also French, did you realize that the state keep more than half of your net salary for "la sécurité sociale" (cotisations sociales employeur).

And that you will still have to pay the taxes ("part sociale employé: 20% again for "la sécurité sociale) plus 6% of CSG for "la sécurité sociale/CSG) plus direct taxes like TVA (roughly 20% again nobody knows why anymore, but initialy for "la sécu des vieux").

However after having collecting this stack of whealth, the state still has to borrow half of its revenues to pay its own bills (including "le trou de la sécu", plus recurrents debts from SNCF and banks and Orange).
> I wish chrome added an option for tampermonkey scripts to be run with disabled js, that would make this solution perfect.

that's up to tampermonkey but maybe it's possible that google wouldn't like it since it would let userscripts access extension apis

what tampermonkey does is inserting the script into the page in a script tag to isolate it from the extension[1] and let it access variables defined by scripts on the page, but if scripts are blocked on the page it just doesn't run

i made my own custom js manager (with no userscript api support) that lets you choose if the script should be ran in the extension or page context (defaults to extension which works with scripts blocked) but i don't know if it's in good enough state to put on the internet and i've never really made things for anyone but myself

Aren't we talking about someone explicitly blocking the content they object to?

I also don't quite buy the argument that a view on a page relieved of all ads is somehow funding bad behaviour.

And I completely don't follow the argument that viewing content somehow obligates you to contribute to their morally bankrupt revenue system. If this means the end for web pages relying on morally questionably ad companies then I'd consider that a success.

While technically true that the block size cap has a hard limit of 4MB, which would be a block consisting of one transaction with only inputs, a 4MB transaction isn't valid for other reasons.

So it's not meaningful to talk about a fixed block cap anymore. Perhaps it is better to talk about "typical" block sizes the way you do.

What's important is that the 1MB limit is history, unless you have to make legacy transactions for some reason.
