That's been my strategy for the past few update cycles. I just upgraded to Sierra this past July. I'll upgrade to High Sierra next July. Since another major release of iOS seems imminent after the "battery issue" I think I'll hold off on that upgrade for a little while longer, too. Latest and greatest doesn't hold the same appeal to me as reliability.
Thanks for the useful discussion on this point.

I'd argue about quality of life. But definitely absolute income.
But it could prompt them to see an Apple Care Rep and get a new battery, which would fix the ultimate issue according to them.

Which products do you think I should recommend a competing product over Apple's? On phones, tablets, and computers, I personally much prefer Apple's OSes, and I usually prefer their hardware as well. But even when I don't prefer Apple's hardware, the OS wins out.

I don't recommend Apple's wi-fi base stations: https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1370753
She obviously is more interested in business, but that's a terrible way to communicate it. That has to be the least business savvy way to express interest in a transfer imaginable.

Thoughts I'd have if I heard that:

1) So when we asked her why she wanted to work here and she told us she would find the work interesting, she was lying?

2) Is her current work any good? It can't be if she's demotivated.

3) If I invite her to a business meeting, is she going to say something similarly thoughtless? Maybe she blurts out that she thinks the customer's request is stupid, or something similar? Seeing as she just said in front of her manager that she regrets her entire career choice, which should have been just an obviously bad idea, can I trust her basic judgement in other areas?

4) Apropos 3, if she shows such a lack of social awareness surely keeping her away from the business side and in front of a computer is for the best.
For me it's an issue of "If I had time I'd have written a shorter letter".

I'm interesting in algo trading cryptos.
It's very interesting to see the cognitive dissonance of all these posts complaining about how Apple has lost their trust etc. yet still wanting to cling onto the brand. There wouldn't be this pseudo-Stockholm syndrome if people just became more rational and voted with their wallet. Go buy a phone that you mostly own instead of buying the right to use and iPhone from Apple.
> Apple's obsession with thinness

You mean the obsession customers have with buying thin products, which Apple is simply satisfying, and extremely well, judging from sales.

> No one asked for this.

Yes actually, I asked for this, like many other customers who bought much thinner Apple products instead of thicker, bulkier, heavier competing products.
My thoughts exactly - I backed them (and I don't regret it, they were a sincere bunch) hoping one day this would come true.
Do retrospectives at regular intervals and encourage everyone in the team to bring up (almost) any issues, large or small, in those meetings, and discuss them, with a solution-focused outlook - what can we actually try in order to address this problem?

An essential feature of retrospectives is that upper management, and internal/external customers, are not invited - and do not get to see the raw whiteboard, but only - if they see anything from it - a sanitised summary that's relevant - and diplomatic - for them. This all helps to encourage openness.
Correction, it's "retain performance and experience random shutdowns or, reduce performance and avoid random shutdowns". You can't choose performance 100% of the time without compromise on battery power. That goes for literally any device.

After they figured out that it's a current draw issue with old batteries that caused it, they would _never_ give you a checkbox option to allow unexpected shutdowns.
Yes, I read it, but I think a clean new TLS 1.3 with that old retry fallback system like before would still have been the best solution to establish TLS 1.3 without breakage. Poddle was solved by SCSV and this could be part of TLS 1.3 again, but even a desaster that makes us turn off TLS 1.2 5 years from now is a "good" solution because then the middleboxes have been upgraded.
Yeah I don’t understand that at all. Old hardware running new software always degrades performance. Always. Name one instance where that didn’t happen? Newer versions of windows. Newer iOS or Android. On old hardware always runs slower. That’s not deliberate it’s the progression of technology. Hardware is static software is not. You can’t upgrade the hardware in embedded spaces for the most part so you have to accept it can’t run the newer software as fast as a new piece of embedded hardware. It has slower IO, memory, CPU etc.

This argument that someone is surprised old hardware is slower with new software is such a disingenuous statement. Either that or you clearly do not understand technology.
> It's literally the opposite of planned obsolescence

Having a too small battery is the exact definition of planned obsolescence!

If they hadn't tried to make the phones as small as possible and used a battery with 20% more capacity the problems would not be as severe.
Special-purpose accounts aren't allowed here. HN is for thoughtful conversation, which takes place between individuals, not abstractions.
Back when I was still an Android user, I had a Nexus 4. After a year of use, it also started shutting down at random points if battery was below 20%. Before that I had HTC Desire (the first one), which did the same, at reaching 10% of battery, after about a year of use.
Thanks for this! I was very skeptical, but you made me look through every single mention of the word 'inline' in the spec, and you are indeed correct. :) Here is the relevant quote:

> [7.1.2] [dcl.fct.spec] A function declaration with an inline specifier declares an inline function. The inline specifier indicates to the implementation that inline substitution of the function body at the point of call is to be preferred to the usual function call mechanism. An implementation is not required to perform this inline substitution at the point of call; however, even if this inline substitution is omitted, the other rules for inline functions defined by shall still be respected

If the input size is bounded, then the problem H can't be NP-hard unless P = NP.

Proof:
A decision problem H is NP-hard when for every problem L in NP, there is a polynomial-time reduction R from L to H.

By assumption, H has finitely many instances, so precalculate a binary lookup table T. Accessing a lookup table takes time polynomial in L's instance size, namely O(1).

The algorithm "T . R" is then a polynomial-time algorithm for H, so P = NP.
The change definitely didn’t fully solve the problem in the effected models either. (Can’t comment on if it was partially effective.) Recently had a sudden shutdown from 50%->0% on a 6S.

It’s a decent response by Apple, although would have been better if they didn’t require a scandal to reduce their absurd markup on batteries.
Hi Edmond, your book was great and I enjoyed reading it!

I do have a question on your topic on high leverage work; as a startup how would you know what is high leverage work? You have talked about various tooling projects at Quora which turned out to be duds, but how would you know that beforehand without trying? I guess the same applies to your book...
One of the times I was visiting Tokyo I saw tons of people sleeping in upper floors of fast food restaurants at night. We're those people practicing inemuri or were they homeless?
My major is irrelevant to this conversation because I have classmates with successful and fulfilling careers in all the disciplines offered by my business school. Their business degrees (and mine) are their primary degree and are worth more than they cost.

I think you do a disservice to young people by giving them absolute advice like that. Business school does not work for everyone, that does not make it worthless or only good as a supplement.

My degree opened doors to a career that I would not have with any other degree. That doesn't mean everyone should do it but a lot of people can. It certainly means that your absolute statements are incorrect.
One crucial skill required to have a meaningful life is the ability to say no to most things. It took me a long time to learn this. There are many good tips mentioned here, but those are mostly tactics that work for a limited time. At least that's the case for me. I needed to understand the price I'm paying. The more I'm able to say no, the more freedom I gain.
Do many sites have that much direct editorial control over the ads they run?

I've only ever done a little ad banner work so I don't know how it is for "large" sites, but I assume the people writing and maintaining the code are not the ones actually selling or creating the ads. I assume those decisions are made between sales and the client.
Tim Cook is the CEO of Apple, one of the biggest and most well-known companies in the world.
Yes, but it depends on the coal and the emission controls on the plant using it. This is china we are talking about after all.

Low quality coal used directly for heating in the villages, for example, is very very dirty.
The parent post actually mentions this happening on the 5S, a phone which did not get a software update choosing stability over performance. The 6 can slow down and run with a 20% battery while the 5S runs fast and must shut down due to the voltage drop.
Apple hardware still seems excellent to me. It's the software that's unreliable.
This was one of the most entertaining things I've read lately.

I tried playing on minecraft servers with economy plugins, but never really saw the point. I just liked mining for the sake of mining so an economy didn't do much for me.

But this... it's like a gigantic meta-game on top of the game you're already enjoying. Something tells me I'll be playing some minecraft tonight...
Some admins allow only certain command to be executed with sudo vs root can execute anything with root.
I don't think Apple ever applied throttling to devices prior to the iPhone 6. As you say, old 5Ses would shutdown at 20% (or lower), but it was with the iPhone 6 and later where devices would occasionally stop at 50%, so became a much bigger issue. Presumably this was due to the A8 CPU having a wider-range of power consumption (this is a guess, if anyone actually knows why I would be interested to know).

For point 2, there is Coconut Battery on MacOS. This is telling me my old iPhone 6 has 90% capacity after 400 odd cycles, which is probably par for the course, but I have no idea if that's bad enough for the performance throttling to kick in or not. Hopefully the new screen is going to be detailed enough to say how much throttling has been applied.
I think this article is an incorrect interpretation of the research, which doesn't support the author's three conclusions:

> 1. Using the unadjusted figures...

The adjustment is to correct for sex. This is explained in the original paper and supported by their data: The males in the study had higher lead levels as children and males in general are more likely to commit crime, this alone causes a correlation between lead and crime.

Correcting for sex is not "unusual": it's done in 99% of research on human subjects.

> 2. Using the adjusted figures, there’s a clear association of lead levels with later criminal convictions, and the association is effectively statistically significant

The authors perform comparisons of blood level with 5 different crime statistics and only 1 is statistically significant. These comparisons must be considered together: What causal effect between lead and non-violent crime would not also apply to violent crime, crime as a whole, first-time offences, or repeat offences?

Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/882/

> 3. Using the adjusted figures, there’s a clear association of lead levels with self-reported offenses, but the statistical significance is poor.

The author bases this conclusion from their chart of self-reports vs lead at different ages, which does not (as they claim) use the sex-adjusted figures. The statistical significance is indeed poor for the adjusted values, they got that right.

ProAm is probably referring to desktops. I don't feel it's hard to get something equivalent or very near equivalent in power to a Mac Pro and spending 3x less.

When it comes to laptops, the Apple tax is only about 2x more unless you compare it to an MS Surface Laptop which is about equal in price and quality.
> Why is apple the only company with this problem?

It’s the only one people care about enough. Apple gets a major "scandal" almost each year about something that affects every single smartphone company on the planet. Think of the antenna-gate or the bending issues. Lots of non-Apple phones have shown these issues, and the random shutdowns are no exception [1].

Exactly, this does nothing to prevent Apple from shoving a dinky battery in future phones and selling $99 annual battery replacements (after 2018). Battery itself costs nothing. $29 may be at-cost for labor. $99 is a large margin.
IMHO there's still more room for the BTC/USD to grow (another 30x or so) and that he's selling a lil' short. But better than buying a hockey team like that other bitcoin millionaire.

The iPhone 6 was released September 9, 2014, which is about 3.3 years ago.
Yes? I mean, that's happening even without lurid kidnappings.
I'm curious about how much slimness people would be willing to give up for easy, cheap battery replacements for phones.

One could design a phone the thickness of the original iPhone that would be able to take AAA batteries.

8 AAA Eneloops have about the same energy as the batteries in iPhone 6s or iPhone 8, and just shy of an iPhone 7.

If one would accept a phone about 40% thicker than the original iPhone, 3 or 4 AA Eneloops would do it.

I was comfortable with the thickness of my original iPhone, so I would be willing to consider an AAA powered phone. I'd probably even be OK with AA--it would still be thinner than my wallet, which I have no problem with.
Had to look that one up, it was worth the effort.
Yeah I'm not sure if there's a way to do it on Android. Honestly I don't care. It's more about why the software was designed at this point. Notifications are a symptom.
That definitely helps against many scenarios, but "home and yourself" means you're still in immediate control of funds while you're at home, so you're still vulnerable to armed robbery. You want to make it so your answer to the robber is "I can't, the bank's not open."
That depends on the country. In Europe transportation is regulated, and fees are higher and also arrive at the drivers, since they actually have pensions etc.

Meaning Uber eliminates basically the most prominent achievement of the working class with its service. Turning everyone into an independent contractor eliminates social security. Swiftly.
This research isn't particularly interesting (imo). The plant doesn't produce any glowing bits (luciferase, luciferin) by itself, but is injected using high pressure. Once the plants lose their glow, they'll need to be injected again.

"These days"? What you describe has happened for decades, though of course with different details.

You never knew about sys admins who put "." in the PATH for root? That was one of the warnings that I remember learning back in the early 1990s.

Remember the good old days when someone's .finger could be used for an escape sequence injection? Even if you read the manual for your terminal, that doesn't mean you change all your habits.

Or sys admins using "xhost +" for easy access to other machines in the local network?

And sys admins forgetting to do backups? That's certainly nothing new.
Apparently it's a real word!

My upgrade went fine, but my wife's upgrade hosed her hard-drive, and we had to wipe and start over, installing from a thumbdrive. We both have late 2013 MBPr's.

Totally agree that it's not just a pure business decision. I was just responding to the sentiment of the GP that indicated that stadiums might be supporting plans like this because more drinkers means more revenue. That isn't to say they want people to drive drunk — this was just comparing getting people home via DDs (who don't buy alcohol) or getting more drinkers in the stadium and getting them home safe on uber/lyft.
Or, you know, government happens to be the best solution we have to certain types of coordination problems, some of which plague market economies.

But no, I'm sure literally everything government does that interacts with the market just creates corruption without sufficient benefit to outweigh any such harm, and it'd be better if we didn't do anything at all. Certainly it's easier to think about politics if we can permanently rule out an entire class of solutions this way, saving us from having to consider and weigh each per se. Bonus points if we can define "liberty" as "fewest things outlawed by government"—measuring that is way easier than trying to figure out the degrees of freedom of action available to ordinary people in practice.
It was pretty fantastic on the Samsung hardware that was contemporaneous with many iPhone designs.

Sadly the Galaxies have jumped on that bandwagon.
There is an obvious third option - have the phone run slower but tell user about it, that it's running in limp mode because of deteriorated battery.
> You didn't write the "automatic buy-out" clause is that intentional?

i don't like the exclusive buy-out that the blog post mentions since that creates risk for other users

i toyed with a non-exclusive buyout but couldn't come up with anything i felt was general enough, and i wanted to keep the license as short as practical. however, a copyright owner could choose to offer such a guarantee in addition, and i'll take another look

i did include the "reasonable effort to comply" clause to try to avoid unbounded fines

There is only so much a bunch of criminals can take out of a bank's local branch. But for a bitcoin exchange, they could in theory take the whole thing, including client's funds if they share the exchange's public wallet. If you think about it, it can be a $100m+ robbery.
It's also somewhat tautological, if we define being strategic as inherently leading to beneficial outcomes.

Immediate skeptical question: what arity (fan-in) do the authors consider reasonable for the multi-terminal AND/OR gates?

If you assume that you can have arbitrarily large arity gates without incurring additional delays (which is NOT generally realistic), you get a very different result than if you assume there can be at most, say, 10 inputs to a gate without introducing additional delays.
It is devastation by police and/or by trafficking mafia, not by marijuana itself.
In my personal opinion, there's nothing wrong with that, as long as key is not compromised, of course.

However, it's somewhat less secure than sudo-enabled account with password requirement. If your SSH key is somehow compromised (unpassworded keyfile or attacker had gained access to ssh-agent's socket, or you've ran a network-listening daemon from your account that had an exploitable RCE) you're a little bit more safe if attackers won't get root access. This only works well for noexec $HOME, of course, as attacker can't mess with your .*shrc and trick you into entering the password.
Do you ever wonder if there's a reason why that's the case?
Design flaw. They use small batteries so there is absolutely no slack.
I can't speak for their articles in general, but this one seems to not be clickbait. One of the objectives of T2K is to measure the cp violating phase of neutrino oscillations. As more data is being collected it is appearing there is a good chance that neutrinos indeed do violate cp symmetry.

I understand fine.
How could iOS (definitely) detect if a battery is chemically degraded? If they slow down performance based on the "expectation" that device is old and it's battery _must have_ degraded, then it is obviously a slowdown for many unsuspecting users, whose batteries might be in fact absolutely fine. I have SE and never had any shutdowns; fortunately staying on 9.3.3, without any need nor desire to upgrade. I'd be utterly disappointed if next software update started to "manage" performance for me, suspecting old battery.
Interesting. My wife and I both had MoviePass a few years ago, for about 18 months (haven't signed up again yet). We used it all the time, and one of the best perks were the AMC Stubs points; not only were the tickets free, we got a free drink every other movie we went to.

Most of the time the employees had no idea what the cards were, confused as to why I needed to run 2 tickets as individual transactions on separate cards. Maybe this was before it really became an issue for them? Are the policies about not giving rewards official?
