Uber Investors Are Said to Agree to Sell in SoftBank Deal
To be fair: the OP didn't merely ask, he also gave a subjective opinion on the matter; and it looks like the response was to that, and not related to the battery expertise bit.

But hey; in an online forum things get off topic... kind of like this ;-)!
I was never a fan of i-phones. Main reason - battery. I have seen my friends keeping their i-phones permanently on charge - i mean - permanent.
Apple presently has been slapped with class action suits in several high courts in the U.S. The move maybe too little too late as more are considering to follow suit.
As a result I will never switch my Android for an i-phone, in spite of all pros vs cons.
"The framing of 99% vs 1% was a poor decision..."

Yup. This is an understatement. It's the wrong problem. And even if we get a solution, what good is it? As it's not the right problem.
I bought one for that purpose. What it does best is show you relative temperature levels, which you can then investigate further to see if they're real or not. In my experience, some are actual air leaks, some lack of air circulation, and some lack of backing insulation.
Probably having tons of photos, contacts, email and whatnot in the apple cloud instead of Google or Amazon or local.
> Would you rather have a slightly slower phone, or one that shuts off at random due to the battery not being able to provide peak current.

I wish people would stop inventing this false dichotomy. What people want is a phone that doesn't degrade horribly after only a year, regardless of whether that degradation is that it shuts itself off at 40% (which is fucking ridiculous) or that it gets noticeably slower. When a phone degrades so noticeably after only a year, people feel like they've been cheated. Do any other phones turn themselves off at 40% charge? My android phones certainly don't.
> opened the segment by condescendingly dismissing any concerns about the behaviour.

Really? I thought that was perfectly fair. Apple made it so people’s phones don’t randomly shut off all the time if the battery is old and people are complaining about it because it fits into a different false narrative.

I honestly do think this whole thing is very overblown. I’m glad they’re fixing iOS to inform users it’s going on (that was certainly an issue) and dropping the price of battery replacements is a great move.

But I don’t think this is the giant scandal that the tech press is trying to make it. I thought Casey’s assessment was quite fair.
I don't see how the authentication used for a user on a local machine has anything to do with the authentication of a user on a remote machine unless both are using the same domain authentication (RADIUS, Active Directory, etc). Even then, there can be cache involved.

Actually, about 1 percent of children in the United States suffer from chronic malnutrition. And malnutrition occurs in people who are either undernourished or overnourished. In the United States, more children suffer from malnutrition due to dietary imbalances than due to nutritional deficiencies.

You completely missed his point. If Apple had made the issue clear, he could have just paid for a battery replacement instead of a completely new phone. And they clearly knew the battery was the problem.

From a strictly economic perspective: Free rides homes may mean charging overtime for the spot because they leave their car there overnight and also selling more liquor.

But I don't see why this should be viewed in terms of pure economics. What if people who make beer et al are actual human beings and are bothered by the fact that drunk driving kills people? Since their product is involved, what if some of them feel some personal sense of responsibility to reduce death's due to drunk driving?

> The real treasure in this venture, he contends, is the trove of data about consumer tastes and habits that MoviePass can collect. It hopes to sell that data to studio marketers.

I wonder if the privacy-minded folks on HN are averse to this. Or is it ok since you're getting discounted movie tickets in return?

I also wonder if they're going to take movie consumption data and marry it with other data they can glean about you (preferred theater location, residence and/or work from geolocation when you open the app, etc.). That data could be sold to folks other than just studios, since they can market related products or correlated products to you.
Can't you downgrade?

10.13 is terrible for people who use FileVault, in multiple ways:

1) If you upgraded to 10.13.0 your password is being leaked in the password hint.

2) APFS + FileVault performance is abysmal compared to APFS without Filevault or HFS + FileVault or HFS without FileVault.
> I feel them absolutely awful to type on (I have never complained about a keyboard before but I just can't stand this one), although it is subjective, some people are fine with it.

I don't know why some people hate these keyboards. I don't really have a strong opinion about them. They feel slightly different and noisier but I get identical typing speed results compared to the previous one.
I like the idea of first-party battery replacements, but I have chipped the glass on the side of my iPhone 6S screen from a drop — I wonder if Apple would still charge me the $29 battery replacement fee, or ask me to pony up the full amount.
That is different from what is described in the original article, though, where “Lisa” really does speak in a way that communicates fear and a sense of trepidation.

Not to defend FB particularly, but people were in ideological bubbles before it even came into existence, via the blogosphere and specialist forums before that. The author seems to think there was some sort of Garden of Eden where everyone was an informed consumer and the marketplace of ideas functioned perfectly, but people have been willingly sorting themselves into ideological or affinity communities since the era of dial-up, and physically prior to that if you want to consider the demographics of suburbs.
It’s not like android phones are purposefully running with multi year old chips to avoid this issue. The high-end found they are all rush to have the newest chips as well.

I’ll ignore the “on paper“ comment. It was totally unnecessary.
>Overprovisioning the battery is silly, and would deservedly cause a much bigger controversy if it were discovered.

Really? Would there be a strong negative reaction if Apple said "we've designed the iPhone 9 to give you all-day battery life for four years"? Would customers be angry that their device was built to last longer and perform better? To my mind, it's a marketable feature.

All battery management is a trade-off between capacity and durability. Manufacturers have an obvious commercial incentive to sacrifice durability - you get a thinner device with longer initial battery life.

Purchasing habits are starting to change in the mobile market. Pricing is moving away from an all-inclusive line rental price to separate usage charges and device payments. As the market matures, customers are holding onto their devices for longer. I think it's inevitable that manufacturers will have to improve durability as we move away from the lock-step of 24 month contracts.
Not OP, but i love KeePass. I'm not 100% sure what OP is looking for when they said self hosted, but I enjoy that the password database boils down to a single file that I can backup and share (albeit manually).
No mention of how much of the plant energy budget this uses.

If this uses let's say 20%, what are the implications for the plant? Will it be less adapted to the environment and die more easily?

What do you think about Google not allowing iOS or Firefox to become cast sources, or FireTV to act as a cast target

FireTV is not an open platform anyone can design for and use. It's closed and your app needs to be submitted through their dev shop.[0]

I just opened firefox up and had no issue casting from it. According to the below support thread[1] you may need to enable a flag in the about:config page. Although I didn't need too.

Does that piss you off, or are your feelings of outrage only limited to our own personal convenience?

Nope. Amazon can and has support Cast in the past. They are the ones doing their best to block it, not Google. FireTV is not a free and open platform, Cast is. Great comment though..

> very skeptical of heavy payload capability and range for electric vehicles

heavy usually means "not that fast" - so less of the speed-squared drug (at 25miles/hour i remember some guys did double the range, like 400miles+, on a Tesla S) and also the weight of the battery becomes less of a factor on the background of the whole vehicle and cargo weight.
What about https://www.passwordstore.org/? Of course it depends on your definition of "good".
Is it? If it is, why am I so frequently interpreted as playing the victim card when I am displaying my badass scars? Or even simply telling it like it is about my actual life experiences?
I kind of doubt it. This is been going on for what, a week or two? I’m guessing they’ve been working on this response that entire time, not just in the last 24 to 48 hours.
Health Care is not capitalistic or free market in the least and cutting costs is not how profits are maximized.

Doctors, Hospitals, Insurance companies and everyone else are working with what are essentially cost-plus contracts, so the more expensive everything is the more they make.
Funny you should mention the noise. I took a tour of their charging facility, and the fleet manager noted the busses were originally too quiet. They went to the toy store, bought some toy trucks and rigged that growling solution from the truck noise makers.
That's like saying a basketball team shouldn't play defense because the other team will score even if they do play defense.
You might not have trust but yet you have 2 new iPhones.
So how long will getting a replacement battery take? Is this something that can be done in an Apple Store in a few minutes, or is it a matter of leaving/sending the phone away for a few days?
“Bad apples.” hehe

They've either been grossly overcharging consumers for these battery replacements for years, and are now just listing a "normal" price, or they're taking a loss on it for PR purposes and folding the price decrease into other products.

I don't see how either of those builds customer trust.
Under the old software, where the phone would randomly turn off on you, what do you think they would’ve done? Probably the same thing. Buy a new phone.
I'll take that table-turn! Well my intuition here goes like so: think back to the first moment in life you heard about a "lever" --- then "synergy". Chances are, the former was an illuminating childhood moment when simple levering was first powerfully demonstrated to you by a peer or parent, and tickled your inner engineer/fixer-upper/tinkerer. Chances are, no comparable "engineerish" moment occurred when you first encountered the latter.

> Cinemark, the third-largest exhibitor, introduced its own subscription service in early December. For $8.99 a month, members can see one movie a month and receive a 20 percent discount on concessions, among other perks.

So I can get 30 movies per month for $10 or 1 movie per month plus 20% off concessions for $9? It'd take a helluva lot of popcorn to make that math add up...

I think you’re both overstating how widely known this controversy is and understating how bad suing a tech blogger would look (see: Streisand Effect). I’m a techie and have barely heard about this. People who went and bought new phones will be pissed, but the majority of users won’t care.

This response owns the responsibility of countering misconceptions. The huge majority of Apple users won’t remember this in a month.
On the upside, there is now a very easy way to see which "tech journalists" understand the concept of engineering trade offs.

The tech reporters at NY Times, Linus Techtips, etc have never actually created products. They are not technical experts. They're personalities and communicators. And in this case, wacky conspiracy theorists.
Except that you're paying for a lot of overhead for those parking spots year round... Not just during the event.

I am sure there are ways to design such a system that precludes tracking. For example, suppose I have a browser that includes an extension that does this: I want to visit U (some url). My browser sends a request to the no ad service to see if U has signed up. If it has, then it sends me a once-only token. I send this as proof of status to U, and they send it to the no ad service to claim their micro payment. The only parties who know I have visited U are (a) my ISP - I assume all requests probably go through them; (b) the no ad service (actually, all they really know is that I asked for a token); and (c) U, of course - although all U knows is my IP address, nothing else.

Anyway, that is roughly how such a service might work. I am sure that even better safeguards could be designed into it.

I don't know my way around the spec, but Wikipedia is pretty unequivocal:

"... it serves as a compiler directive that suggests (but does not require) that the compiler substitute the body of the function inline by performing inline expansion, i.e. by inserting the function code at the address of each function call, thereby saving the overhead of a function call."

I've never understood the point of Michelin stars or their relative value, compared to, for example, 500 5-star yelp or trip advisor reviews.

Mining is what gives it intrinsic value. It’s a data structure that took a large amount of electricity to generate. Think of it as a giant work of art.

All the other approaches suffer from weak subjectivity. But that doesn’t mean they have no value.

> It took too much trouble and too long for it to happen, but Apple is stepping up and doing the right thing.

The right thing would have been for Apple to either stop this behaviour or give users the option (retain performance or retain battery life). They're doing neither.
> If iPhones are really experiencing that rate of degradation, then Apple are solely to blame for using such an aggressive battery management profile.

Consumers are responsible at least as much as manufacturers for the current state of phones. Manufacturers may create the designs for phones, but consumers vote with their wallets for what they want, and they've consistently voted for thin over longer battery life.
The context of this thread is whether dropping $130 at a restaurant is a "middle-class hobby", you were replying to a comment saying that was perfectly reasonable for someone of even limited means.

I'm not defending spending $130 at a restaurant, I can afford it and I don't, I think it's a dumb waste of money, but I think the same of a lot of other people's hobbies. Whether those hobbies are affordable to them if they're in the middle class is another question, and clearly dropping $130 at a restaurant every once in a while is.
Totally agree. Currently working on a data visualization platform and one of the core features we are supporting a refresh feature for data sets like these.

Gotta have that.

Plenty of non-Apple phones suffer from random shutdowns and restarts due to faulty batteries.
Ah, this is more what I might call 'macroservices' - API-centric full applications which can be used standalone with their own client interfaces or API-assembled into bigger solutions. I think this should be the default architectural approach and was what Yegge wrote about Bezos mandating at Amazon.

From what I'm seeing, the microservices style is commonly being used for much smaller services a la Unix, typically for reuse across an org. Introduces too many issues around SPOF, orchestration and queuing, versioning, discoverability. I think Lambda is the correct evolution for making that work (if nothing else let AWS figure out stuff like failover, deployment, and the standards for fabric between functions).
I raised this concern in a comment last week. We are going to see more instances of this. Remember how in the movies they break into a bank manager's house and hold the family captive while someone goes with the manager to open the bank vault?

Same thing is inevitably going to happen IRL. I always say exchangers are Bitcoins weakest link. All it takes is one compromised employee at Coinbase or another large exchanger (intentional or some kidnapping scenario) for the price to come crashing due to the damage they can be forced to do.

>>My experience has been that upgrading the OS results in degraded performance 100% of the time.

Well yeah, since more features mean slower performance.

I saw a noticeable performance decrease when I went from Windows 7 to Windows 8. That doesn't mean Microsoft started throttling the CPU.
Does this include running the new OS after a factory reset?

I find that even on Android, you drop some performance after a full system upgrade and it doesn't come back until a full reset is performed with the new OS.

It's stupid that this is required, but that can be explained as a technical problem rather than planned obsolescence.

On top of that, there's the variable of increased system resources to consider, which will account for some of it, and is a no-win scenario from the manufacturer standpoint no matter what they choose.
Another difference I observed is San Francisco vs. Zurich (both urban areas). While in Zurich very few people I know would drink and drive, people in SF don't seem to really care about being a little tipsy. Of course, this is anecdotale.
It still sounds like a false dilemma to me. I've never had reboots on my Android phones because of battery problems.

Maybe Apple just needs to buy better quality batteries? And perhaps higher capacity that are also capable of more charges before they lose too much of their original capacity?
You're on the right track. Several coins are trying to do JUST that, most notably: Ripple.

Reality check here: I think if she were a man - and not a boy fresh out of school, mind - she wouldn't have been hired in the first place. And yet here we are, seriously arguing about whether her naivety and immaturity should have been enabled and encouraged. There's no question: it shouldn't. That is not how you talk in an interview.

Not even if your interviewer is a woman.
Plenty of things available when you google "embedded kafka". Still, it's mostly a bad idea.
Your issue isn't this "scandal" though. This is about preventing sporadic shutdowns by throttling, so if your phone was shutting down it was an undiagnosed bad battery, which is a legit complaint.
It’s not a false dichotomy. That’s what the phone did before. It was a pre-existing problem.

They could choose to do nothing. They could do what they did. With either of those they could’ve chosen to be more transparent (which clearly they should’ve).

You’re arguing that given the problem they saw once the phones have been in the field for years they should have designed the phone differently originally. That’s not reasonable.

I’d be very curious to know how android phones handle this. They must, in someway. There’s another comment in this story that someone had an HTC phone that would tend to just suddenly die under 20%, that may be the same thing iPhones were doing before.
It’s been pointed out in many places that other manufacturers absolutely do have the same battery problems.
