The thing is that battery time is a function of capacity AND consumption.

I don’t think that you can use average consumption since even software update can make or break your use time as it can drastically alter the behavior of the device.

Oh and it’s still the marketing department that choose to communicate these numbers to you, not engineers. If the battery doesn’t last they will choose to slap the mAh of the battery instead of the estimates.

but maybe i’m wrong, maybe these days the phones use about the same energy and battery capacity is a useful measure
That's D-BUS being a terribly specified and poorly implemented mess. Everything underneath should be solid.
Well, it has been postponed quite a few times so I figure with every postponement the chances of it working are going up, but I would not be surprised if they postpone it again.

And I'd rather have them postpone it once more than take chances, if it works the first time that would be awesome.
It is definitely stressful when you don't have control over events in your life and I can understand your shock. However, it sounds like you are in a faily good place.

I have a friend that worked in an unforgivingly toxic and disfunctional environment, but was determined to finish the job. He was not interviewing or even looking for jobs. One day, he got so fed up with things that he quit. A few weeks later they laid off half the team with severance.

In the grand scheme of things you ended up with a best case scenario. Now go on and find work that you are happy with
Well, the comment did say "losing money", but either way, that's not what was claimed in the article and that distinction is exactly what I was pointing out. High margins does not mean that they do well financially, obviously! Unless you think that the original remark was "I don't understand how raising prices could lose business" then this isn't what the article was saying.

I don't understand what the confusion is: the article says they do less well financially than they would have if their ingredients were cheaper. The original comment here says "but they can always raise their prices" but that cannot guarantee that they do well financially. If the article had claimed that their margins were too low or that the extreme that they were losing money from each sale, then the first comment would have made sense. But it doesn't.

Before Intel Core processors became the standard hot processor I was an AMD guy. I'm heading back towards that route. This means no Macbook or Surfacebook for my next development laptop for me. If anyone wants my money they better build a developer worthy laptop with an AMD processor and a sweet AMD graphics card. Also AMD is working on providing open source GPU Vulkan drivers.

I just ran into this trying to copy files off a current Android phone. Windows10 simply wouldn't select all files in the camera directory so I couldn't alt+enter to see the total size.

Tried to copy all user-accessible directories, spent a while calculating size then failed with 'unspecified error'.

I hope I can find a way to enable standard file access. I did manage to make a backup with ADB and then decrypt it with a java tool... and it only included two of the directories. Maybe my internal flash storage is corrupted?

I think Spectre may have appeared later, after Meltdown? Remember the investigations into what's possible were proceeding in parallel with the attempted fixes.

Also, CPU design changes take a long time. 6 months may seem a long time from the perspective of HackerNews node.js type hackers, but it's a bit harder to patch decades worth of CPU microcode than a website.

I’ll throw out another (admittedly anecdotal) issue - cost and effort to develop something that - in my experience - isn’t all that valuable in the end. In my life as a consultant I’ve watched a team of UX ‘experts’ churn for 2 weeks over a set of 5 personas. Jaw dropped every time we would check in - this is what you spent the last 3 days on? Even more stunning was the client’s reaction to the 3rd review of those personas. It was the same 1hr convo as the previous 2 reviews, and no one seemed to think this wasn’t a massive waste of time and their money. After the personas were done, no one ever referred back to them for the remainder of the project. It was one of the greatest ‘value minimization’ excersises I’ve seen in my career.
Sounds like with your two skillsets, compliance and/or internal audit would be a good job for you. These jobs often rely on reading legal-ish documents such as HIPAA, PCI, and GDPR and interpreting them for your company's unique situation, then either overseeing the implementation of IT policies or actually implementing the IT policies yourself to control the IT systems appropriately.

With internal audit you're generally overseeing the compliance folks (from a distance), as a compliance person you're more often implementing the technology yourself. Another role to look into is risk management. All of them are a small step back from "hard" IT like sysadmin or programming and getting more into the people and process side of the IT house.
In the UK a consultant with a moderate amount of experience and a GDPR Practitioner qualification can make between £500 and £800 a day in the City. That kind of work is largely going to be working as part of a team to survey the policy and process landscape of the organisation and suggest/make changes in accordance with the changes in the law.

But with regards to your point about having a law degree - I'm not sure where you're based but a qualified solicitor with a specialism in cyber law and data protection here in the UK will be set for a while. The GDPR enforcement date is a cash cow for consultants, but for lawyers this is just the beginning.

Edit: After seeing what freehunter posted at the same time as me - If you don't want to go through the hassle of becoming a qualified solicitor, then compliance is definitely a way to go. GDPR sets out a requirement for organisations to employ 'Data Protection Officers' so if compliance/risk management is of interest to you then the compliance ladder is pretty solid.
Let's say that it's a class of techniques that learn models (or progams, in the case of ILP) from data.

My main concern is not about defining what machine learning is, however. Rather, I'm worried about the definition of AI shrinking to "it's what we now call machine learning". Which is at the very least unhistorical.

Reviewing systems and business processes to ensure compliance, specifying internal workflows to meet requirements, and all sorts!

It's not just GDPR, but lots of other EU regulations this year that are having large impacts on tech systems (e.g. in the financial world), and being across those is valuable.

Perhaps you won't get your hands dirty on actual code, but technical implementation of regulation is a lucrative field (or, at least, this phase of "oh shit we need to do something" is).
I used my iPhone 4 for 6 years. I was very happy with it and it was virtually indestructible. The battery was also pretty decent even after 6 years. The iPhone 4 felt like a device that "lasts forever", like some pre-smartphone devices used to be.

However, it did get slower over time more so than I would expect from a phone and became almost unusable near the end. Not sure whether it was OS updates, application updates, or what, but it was very noticeable. So I would agree with the grandparent comment in that respect.

If I used my phone a lot, I would have probably bought a new phone MUCH earlier due to how slow the 4 became.

Same thing happened to me this week-end and we are not alone [1]. The worst is that it's actually the second time on this computer (Kaby Lake i3 on a MB with Intel B250 Chipset). I had the same issue in December last year (exact same behaviour with probably an earlier version of that hotfix).

Thanks, according to [1], it seems DMA is quite a 'backdoor', bypassing any memory management the kernel would do. But it is not clear to me whether this allows the attacker inside VM also to write into the forbidden regions of memory and thus either modify behaviour of the hypervisor or send information out via Internet.

Has AMD processors been confirmed as not vulnerable? As I recall the original investigation only covered Intel processors, but hypothesized that AMD would be affected as well, as they more or less have the same fundamentals around branch prediction.
> it's not a dose people will commonly take in their "day to day" activities

A lot of people who exercise multiple times a week take "Vitamin I" every day. So do people who have frequent headaches, back or joint pain, etc. I probably came close to these levels during a bout of plantar fasciitis, though I've since switched to naproxen in such cases. It might not be common in your immediate circle, but in the broader world it's not rare enough to raise any eyebrows.
OK but this is a 30 minute exercise: whom are we building this for?

Copying and pasting whole articles doesn't make your point any more valuable.

> where the heck are all these squillions of universe copies every second and where does the energy come from and go to making squillions of universes worth of matter and creating universe sized places to put them

It's the same "mass" of universe, just split across squillions of pieces. Like a tree trunk dividing into two branches, or a river confluence in reverse. (In fact it makes no difference if there were always two universe branches, it's just that they happened to contain exactly the same physical events up until the point where they didn't). And actually it's continuous rather than discrete: most of the time rather than dividing into distinct branches it's more like it's spreading out across a landscape. The branches are an approximation to let us compute more easily rather than something fundamental (e.g. we take this big continuous landscape of "universes" and draw a line between the region where a given photon was up and the region where that photon was down, and treat this as two distinct universes, because what we're interested in is whether the photon was up or down, and for our purposes any two points in the universe-landscape in which the photon was up are equivalent to each other).

> how does you interacting with a photon on Earth cause a copy of the Andromeda galaxy anyway?

It doesn't; when you interact with the photon which is, from your perspective, in two forks, you entangle your own fate with it, and from the perspective of an observer in Andromeda, both you and the photon are now in two forks (the one where the photon was up and you measured it as up, and the one where the photon was down and you measured it as down). As and when the observer in Andromeda interacts with you, then they can also be seen as divided into two forks. But if the observer in Andromeda is behaving exactly the same way in either fork, then it makes more sense to see them as being in a single unified universe. (Again, the very concept of "forks" is a simplification over continuous reality; the point isn't that there's any concrete sense in which the observer in Andromeda is in one rather than two realities whereas you are in two rather than one, it's just that when we want to talk about you we can draw a line in the universe landscape (between universes in which you measured up and universes in which you measured down) and treat the universe landscape as a fork between two universes, while when we want to talk about the observer in Andromeda there is no value in using that particular model (though there's nothing wrong with doing so, and if you compute predictions about the observer in Andromeda while treating them as being in such a superposition you will obtain correct results)).

Vote with your wallet. That's really the only thing that you can do. Intel is too comfortable in their position as market leader. Until they start to feel some pressure, they have shown they don't really care. I know AMD is not a perfect company either, but I elected to buy a Ryzen processor for my upcoming build. People need to at least consider the competition without defaulting to "I need a processor, I buy the latest Intel chip."

Yes, I know that most people don't build new PCs or upgrade their processors that regularly. Yes, I know that many people don't have much of a choice because they have some requirement that currently ties them to Intel. However, those that do have that choice, should remember this debacle the next time they are buying a CPU/system (even if they are not doing it for awhile). Intel is hoping they can sweep this under the rug, we can't let them until they make amends. Do not buy an Intel chip until they've proven they will do better. I am not endorsing AMD either. You can still vote with your wallet by not buying anything at all. If enough people put off their upgrade, it would put a dent in Intel's bottom line. Things won't change until it hurts them financially.
Its simple at the start. And sorry, but with the stuff i work, its usually not enough.

OO would allow for easier code reuse, by composing objects out of pre-existing objects, something that is usually done by copy paste today.
OO would enforce encapsulation and prevent global periphery fondling by serveral free running state-charts, where its really tough to find out, who in what order did flip the switch and cause a crash in 1 of 1000 runs of machinery.

List goes on...

In fiery speech George Soros denounces Facebook and Google as menace to society
I agree, just trying to think of how it would have to work if it was ever to exist.

I would suppose that voice/gesture written code would be stored as text, when reading you could edit via keyboard or your voice/gesture interface. This comes back to languages written for voice - probably if this became feasible a lot of these languages would be compilers from voice to another traditional text target.

But like many people here I have a hard time actually believing this would ever be useful.
In order for stakeholders to use personas, they have to believe in them, feel invested, and have ownership over them.

I've done this a few times and no matter how convinced I was it was, in the end, pure fantasy.

The most successful personas are created with involvement from their end users.

I don't know what they mean by success: I tried to use personas to understand customers I didn't have.
You've mentioned an abstraction but not explained why it's leaky.

> the question is whether it is part of the API and explained or not

More broadly it's a question of pretending things can be wrapped up in tidy self-contained entities, and the idea that we can fully design away the messy details of reality. See also the Three Big Lies of C++ https://youtu.be/rX0ItVEVjHc?t=17m15s
That's not contradictory. People need different things out of their tools at different times. People are not monotone. And understanding that one person can have N need is different than understanding that N people have individual needs.
