It probably takes "courage" to make a phone thicker... I see myself using my phone less and less to listen to music, sometimes because I forget the dongle. Mind you, I also have bluetooth headphones but they're not very handy on business trips where I need to think about yet another cable and about actually recharging them.
> I dont think it is secure to walk around in a mall with your bluetooth turned on. (correct me if i am wrong)

You are wrong. I don't recall any Bluetooth security issues from just having Bluetooth on or from having an established connection. Those things are pretty well solved in all vaguely modern wireless standards.

The issues are always around the initial connection and key exchange. PIN-based pairing has various flaws in Bluetooth, but Bluetooth headphones use "Just Works" pairing, which I don't think has had any issues, other than the design compromise that it is vulnerable to MitM. That is vanishingly unlikely to happen with Bluetooth headphones though.

WPA2 is secure if you use a very strong password. WEP is basically extinct.
Ask HN: What AI driven alerts do you use or want to use in your work activities?
I am curious how has AI changed customer focused business functions and what promises it holds. I also wanted to know some of the alerts you wished you received on a real time basis that would increase your work output significantly
> Just look at the biggest tech companies by market cap/valuation: Apple (B2C), Amazon (mixed, debatable), Google (B2C-designed products), Microsoft (mixed, more B2B), Facebook (B2C-designed products), Alibaba (B2C), Tencent (B2C), Oracle (B2B), IBM (B2B), Netflix (B2C), Uber (B2C), Baidu (B2C). You don't find a pure B2B company until Oracle, which is ~20% the size of the Apple.

Google and Facebook are advertising companies - literally b2b?
Nope. Nor is grey text.

They started the subscription service at $50 per month which was sustainable. It only started going downhill when they reduced the price to $10 per month. They had to reduce the selection of movies you can watch. Cutting 80% of the price obviously means cutting at least 80% of the service.

This is a medication that’s far beyond the clinical trial phase and is widely available in many countries, though still subject to some large-scale trials for this particular usage. There’s lots of information on sites like https://www.iwantprepnow.co.uk - it’s available through the healthcare system in some parts of the UK, purchasable privately in others, and from what I understand available on some insurances in the US.

It’s a combination of two antiretroviral drugs also used in HIV treatment (Tenofovir and Emtricitabine) and the effectiveness of it can’t really be overstated - my understanding is that there are only two documented cases of someone correctly using this drug becoming HIV-positive, and in both cases due to rare strains with resistance to both drugs.

It’s not a vaccine, but it does change the picture massively for at-risk groups.
Missed naming opportunity!

"gwwwbasic" anyone??
Instead of looking at this as a gendered issue, simply apply some general concept for human behavior. Members within a social ranked group is less limited or more willing to openly police and criticize aspects that defines social status, while non-members adhere and reinforces the social status through silent judgment and selectiveness.

If we apply this generally we would predict to see men openly judge and police each other on the basis of wealth and professional titles (which mostly operate as a proxy for wealth). Similar a woman who doesn't find that a man is worthy will just ignore him or be curt.

I wonder if we don't see the exact same pattern to other social ranked groups such as for example religious communities and political parties.
If just 5% of your “friends” are fake, it ruins any trust you may have in your community, it doesn’t need to be anywhere close to a majority. The other networks have similar problems, but Facebook is the worst offender at promoting a false sense of trust.

But I think that precisely misses the point.

Yes, orthodox academic economics focuses very deeply on the psychology of decision making, but it doesn't focus very broadly on all the other things I mentioned. I love the work of Kahneman and Tversky (among others) as much as anyone else, but I would still further argue that there's so much more to do, that as far as I know, orthodox economics still mostly ignores other components of society within which economics is imbricated, such as the cultural (overviewed by the John Pickles paper I linked) and the affective (e.g. the unremunerated emotional and affective labor that the author mentions as integral to the functioning of the economy).

Can you argue that this is scope creep? Sure, but you can also go the other way, and argue that any reductionism will always make the model inaccurate. Striking a balance is obviously important here, but I would argue that it is necessary at the very least to try widening the scope, at least a little bit.
You sound like a DRM apologist. There are real damages caused by DRM, for instance the fact that if everyone behaves according to the law, then nobody can ever make or receive archival copies of works that have gone out of copyright again.

Even if everyone who produces media, holding the copyrights and distributing it with restrictive DRM is dead at some future date and the requisite 80 years have passed, if all content consumers behave legally then we STILL can't make legal copies of the now public domain works because DMCA says we are circumventing a copyright protection mechanism (on works that are out of copyright, the DMCA makes no exception for them.)

Copyright was supposed to be a limited term but according to the law today, even if no further extension acts are signed, rights holders such as Sony are empowered to ensure their work may never legally enter into the public domain. Their mechanisms need not even be strong to have the force of law behind them.

That's a travesty. I didn't down vote you, but I strongly disagree that this is any kind of "solution" you propose, just bury your head in the sand, "you don't need to be in touch with culture, or propagate it forward in time... forget about that media, it was meant for the sheeple."
I'm going to start brewing vats of neurons, as an anti-phishing measure. Anyone have any good ideas for a distribution mechanism ?

All I could find was apps that downloaded users’ address books without proper permission, which prompted Apple to add controls. Do you have links to these “mistakes”?
I do wonder how having a postal address is related to being a legal or illegal immigrant. After all - if your friend has a fixed address, they can share it with you, so you can receive mail, can they not?

Regardless if you are an illegal immigrant or not.
I wonder if they are trying to fix it before tomorrow’s release.
Economics isn’t science. In science you have the scientific method, control and experimental studies that can validate a hypothesis. that’s pretty impractical to do as an economist. Economists often describe their field as the study of human incentives, which is basically the study of human decision making, which is basically reading minds. It’s a worthy subject of study, but we put far too much faith in it that what’s warrented.
Ole Peters[1] suggests adding this to the curriculum:
https://ergodicityeconomics.com/lecture-notes/

Synopsis: The notes below are our attempt to re-develop economic theory from scratch, namely starting with the axiom that individuals optimize what happens to them over time, not what happens to them on average in a collection of parallel worlds. The latter, surprisingly, is the starting point of the currently dominant form of economic theory.

Python has its own inconsistencies, like any language that has been around for a very long time. Like some collection properties have to be accessed with a function (len()) while other as an instance function. It doesn’t seem to follow any logic.

And if he'd purchased films on region locked dvds or blu-ray - he could've taken his blu-ray player with him when he moved - and be able to play his old films on his old player - but might have to buy a new player to buy locally purchased films.

This isn't strictly true, though: DVD region locking is mostly broken now, and I think(?) few blu-ray disc's are actually region locked?

It remains disturbing to read that something needs to be privileged just so it can sandbox unprivileged code. Why should I have to choose between trusting the sandbox and trusting the code that runs inside it? Why do we keep collectively forgetting the lesson that the more useful a sandboxing technology becomes, the more likely it becomes that someone will need to run that sandbox inside another sandbox (or inside another instance of the same sandbox)?
Damn. I thought I have solved this issue. But why does it work for most other players?
Slow cooked Chinese food is always better.
The reason is because security in the real world will never be pure or without defect. The goal is not to create perfectly secure software, it’s to minimize risk to an acceptable level.
It's also less annoying because the layout makes better use of the screen space and the hotspots are larger which makes it even better for mobile and touchscreen devices.

Considering the obvious click-bait title, there are fundamental problems with the question imho.

How can you know how well some software is designed by using it? You can't. You need to see the code, to look at its specs, etc.

Of course, the OP might be taking about UX, rather than the other facets of software design, but even then there's a large disconnect from the design and the use.

As a user, all you can do is comment on metrics that are important to you: usability, speed/responsiveness, accuracy, stability, originality... At best, this might hint at the result of good design, but not always.

PS: My actual answer to all of this is: Software design can always be improved upon. There is nothing that I've written that I can't improve upon/do better after a re-design.
Gave me some stuff to think about, thank you!

It almost reads like a stoic philosophy of development, which is a pretty fresh idea in contrast to the steady stream of “hey look at this new super convenient tool/framework/lang we created!” posts.

It might be easy to confuse with the purist or masochistic view of “make it harder because it builds character”, but I think there’s a lot of value in being reminded that it’s important to step back and look at the big picture of what problems you’re trying to solve—before solving them!
In fairness, deleting (even moderately) old stuff from /tmp is a Unix convention that goes back roughly three decades prior to the very existence of systemd. In SCO Unix in the early 1990s, for example, it was the task of the /usr/lib/cleantmp program. AIX had a script, invoked by a daily cron job, called /usr/sbin/skulker that did this and more besides.

Putting stuff in /tmp and expecting it to stick around has been a user and indeed a system administration mistake for all of that time, motivating, for example, warnings like this in Kent's & Williams' 1990 Encyclopedia of Computer Science and Technology (volume 22, "The UNIX operating system"):

> /tmp and /usr/tmp: These directories are used by utility programs to contain temporary files. They are cleaned out periodically, so files should not be stored here.

Que Corporation's Using UNIX and Using Linux both said:

> Because the system automatically deletes the contents of this directory periodically, do not keep anything you might need later in this directory.

15 years before the existence of systemd, Linux Filesystem Structure (later to become the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) was similarly warning:

> /tmp may be cleaned out at boot time or at relatively frequent intervals. Therefore, data stored in /tmp should not be expected to remain for any long period.

A mere 13 years before the existence of systemd, that warning was made starker:

> Programs must not assume that any files or directories in /tmp are preserved between invocations of the program.
Reading these threads, I feel like I am the only person in the world who has had problems with headphones jacks.

There's a big scuzzy pop when you plug in or remove the jack while speakers are on.

I've had several devices get crud in the jack, so that you have to rotate and push and position the jack just right to get sound.

Still, I appreciate having the wire and I wish that USB-C headphones had done better. I would have liked to get phones with two USB-C ports.
> Not sure how to engage the rest of your argument... I definitely wouldn't say people are blank slates, nor would I deny that gender differences exist. The vast majority of feminists don't think those things, those positions are straw men that anti-feminists like to bring up because they are easy to argue against.

Not to derail the conversation too much, but why does the extreme seem to be accepted as ok by the left? Kids as young as 8 are getting hormone treatments to try and change their gender. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/transgender-children-getting-...

I myself see this as child abuse. It's a life altering decision made by a child who is too young to understand the consequences. If you don't see this as harmful, you can ignore the rest of this comment, because then I don't have an argument. But if you do see this as a problem, why don't you and others on the left speak out against it?

This is what scares me about you guys. Some of you preach moderation, but you all seem fine with things be taken as far as they can go.

Gmail would not be a multi-billion dollar company. It doesn't make money (remember they don't target ads on email content anymore). You'd have to roll in Google apps for business to get to the money making part.

Chrome definitely isn't a multi-billion dollar company. There is no revenue stream there. Firefox only exists by selling the search bar and being a non-profit.

> don't pay for studies that won't get published later or that are methodologically so weak that they won't produce actionable results.

Most typically, to make studies methodologically stronger, you require a bigger sample, ie more subjects, to increase power while maintaining or even improving significance. And that would make it more expensive.
Wow, what Socialist crap that article is, and in Nature of all things! Probably best to steer clear of those books on economy! Anyway, if you look into how trading is done today, and how big firms – especially banks – are allowed to operate, then it's no wonder it goes as it goes. First off no company should be too big to fail. That should be your first warning sign that it's become too oligarchic, if not completely monopolistic. But no, most governments chose to go in the opposite direction, and further corporatize and monopolize the behemots. Well, good luck with that! Now we're probably just moments before the biggest crash in history. People talk about 2008 being this century's 1929. Ha! That was peanuts!

I guess the CS component of EE has grown quite a lot since back then. You learn at least a solid programming base early on, and get much deeper into CS if you go down the embedded systems path. I totally agree with everything in your last two paragraphs!
What can change things dramatically at least in the upper Midwest is if the US is able to convince Canada to eliminate or greatly lower the tariff on milk and cheese.

In our area of Michigan a huge new cheese plant is going in and the only justification I can see for that large an investment is they already know the dairy tariff is ending.

There are a few reasons it was a terrible idea:

- You can't take lightning headphones
and use them as headphones in all
lightning ports.

- You can't take lightning headphones
and use them on any other Apple
product other then modern, premium
iPhones.

- It doesn't enable compatibility with
other new Apple products. In fact, it
hinders compatibility with USB-C ports
in newer Apple laptops. *What?*

- If Apple went all-in on USB-C with
laptops, the lightning port on new
iPhones feels like either an anachronism
or accentuates the lock-in attempt.

- Bluetooth really isn't very good, not
at a level that guarantees perfect,
continuous audio streams. It's not
an ideal step up from a good, durable wire.

- Air pods and other headphone upgrades
are double disposable, in that, not only
are they particularly expensive options,
but easily lost, stolen or destroyed.
Laundry and drop hazards, above and beyond
theft, basically add constant anxiety to
the total cost of ownership for air pods
in particular.

- General inconvenience of replacement
forces odd work-around strategies for
times when you can't find your headphones.
If you're running late, and you lost them
in the couch cushions or under the bed,
what are your options?

I can think of a number of additional diminishingly valuable what-ifs, but you get the point. Life always turns out better with the widely adopted standardized options, since headphones take on the primary expendable accessory, and the alternatives are hemmed in, such that they're always worse.

But now what? It's just going to be this irritating thing, until an excuse lets Apple back down while saving face.

Comparing the headphone jack and Ethernet port is silly. A great majority of users use the jack for headphones which are always within 1 meter of the device. Ethernet is often much further away, meaning wireless adds more value / convenience.

The WPA2 standard is not secure against key reinstallation attacks, which can be used to decrypt packets in an MitM position. Most implementations of WPA2, though, have patched themselves in a backwards-compatible manner since discovery of this vulnerability.

The IEEE has put out WPA3 which fixes this vulnerability (among other changes).
