Back in 2015 Airware was pushing for its own technology stack, coupling an autopilot with mission management/ATC.
Only later they pivoted into a software-only solution.
Same goes for 3D Robotics.

Those are people complaining about other HN commenters. I'm talking about you specifically unevenly suppressing conservative posts. Just look at your comment history to see how many people complain about that, and how few complain in the other direction.

> We don't claim to be objective.

And yet you post that tiresome Hostile Media Effect link every time someone calls you out for it. Yes, we know it's a thing. No, that doesn't automatically mean that's what's going on here. No, it is not reasonable to think that everyone is wearing ideological blinders except you.

Grapple – An actual interruptable download accelerator
Because all keys are printed, build quality (I have an Ergodox EZ and it's ok but not like the UHK), the palm rests are attached, the tenting works better, I like having a proper graphical config tool. I think those are the main ones but I'm not sitting at my desk looking at it, so I might forget something :)
I dual boot Windows and Linux, and remapping on both platforms consistently (incl. system updates, etc.) is a pain in the ass. I also need to use a remote desktop connection with a normal keyboard from time to time, which makes the software solution even more annoying.
You can remap the ~ key on the UHK to be Esc by default and ~ via the Mod layer if you want to.

We plan to design further UHKs of different form factors. I don't get however why you don't consider the current model compact.
You're making the implicit assumption that people riding their bikes on the road are just doing it for recreation instead of doing it for transportation.
I was really looking forward to getting the SE 2 now that my iPhone 8 contract is up. :/
…if you can afford it. This should cost at least as much as a three story deep cellar would cost (a bit cheaper because it has fewer floors, quite a bit more expensive because of the car-lifting elevator) and also be more expensive to maintain because of that elevator.

I also wonder about safety. Your kid better not wander into the garage when that elevator is ten meters down. Solvable? Yes, but it will make this even more expensive.

⇒ I see this as a thing as a one of to, as the article says “not to bother the neighbors who inhabit the houses only a few feet away”, not as something they plan to market.

From the article: "Since this person disabled GPS tracking on the car, the owner had to utilize a different method of tracking down the alleged crook."

I don't own a Tesla, but this implies it's possible to turn the GPS off.
Yup, our household dropped from 2 cars to 1. We bike & trailer the kid. It may not last forever, but it's worked out pretty well, with the car parked 20+ days a month but ready & willing for travel outside town.

Saved us tons of money, garage space, and if many families in our town did the same thing, traffic would completely evaporate. Yet everyone would still have access to a car for surfing & beach trips.
It's similar to //e which is how Apple IIe was stylized. If it's not going to be a trademark issue, it seems like a clever branding hack to me. Anyone who grew up in the 80s & early 90s or earlier might be subtly influenced by it.

I think /e/ cute and that plenty of brands have succeeded despite being unrecognizable and unsearchable.

The meaningful symbol seems related to AirBnb and their bélo [1], which I think was largely successful.

It's the largest downside with the job. I like programming at home but can't do it in an open office.

I switched to a job where I don't write complex code anymore. Now it's simpler, devops style things that can be done in noisy environments.
But do any self-synchronizing instruction sets exist? (And are in commercial silicon?) It seems like it would be very annoying for density and constant-encoding reasons with 8 bit code units, and none of the variable 16/32 bit encodings I can name do it either.

When VC backed companies shutdown, the logistics are typically outsourced to specialist firms like Sherwood Partners [1]. Instead of a formal bankruptcy in federal court, an alternative process called "assignment for the benefit of creditors" is used to distribute assets to creditors under state law.

Patents are usually sold to patent trolls or companies seeking a defensive portfolio. An attempt is usually made to sell tangible assets as a lot, but if there are no buyers, individual assets are auctioned. Silicon Valley Disposition[2] is frequently selected to manage asset disposition auctions.

In effect I'd say that it is an attitude more
concerned with the spirit and less with the
letter of the law (so, for instance, I don't
think turning on the light is an issue, and
putting money on the table for someone to
take isn't actually adhering to the
prohibition on commerce).

That's something that generally rubs me the wrong way about a lot of things with orthodox jewish practices (especially the ultra orthodox) - there is so much effort trying to find loopholes in the rules, instead of adhering to their spirit instead.
> I just don't seem to be in Apple's target market anymore.

I'm not sure why it's so hard for people to understand that Apple's market is people who want to be cool.

They don't sell hardware devices, they sell coolness.

These people don't care at all about how the phone/laptop is. It doesn't matter that you only have USB-A adapters or mini-jack headphones, if Apple says that the new cool is USB-C and AirPods, you are going to buy that and then snicker at people using the "old stuff".

It's like in the joke: the only thing worse than not having an iPhone is having last year's one.
You allow that there exists some metric capable of capturing the diffuse value — so — why not bake that diffuse value into the monetary system and ensure that it must be paid for the transaction to legally occur? That’s why I’m proposing a second dimension in the pricing model. To tear down the forest — you have to compensate the collective for the externality you are 'taking' from the diffusely benefiting party ... that “payment” to the collective is a real-world transaction that has to happen as part of the rules for legal transactions and the payment has to be tendered in units of this second dimension of the pricing model which approximates the 'diffuse value' of the resource. This 2nd dimension of price is distinct from the value realizable by some possible private owner and is conceptually proportional to that which is being “taken away” from the commons by the removal of the forest ...

I’m not sure exactly what the rules for this shared resource currency would look like but I think there is room in the design space to integrate the shared resources available to humanity into a pricing model that would be more explicit and coherent than what we have now. I'm imagining a monetary system which includes a diffuse resource value for all resources -- with transaction rules updated so that trade/consumption became a two dimensional exchange involving two private parties, and the diffuse account. For the transaction to be legal, it must preserve the 'value' of the world's 'diffusely owned resources' either by not consuming anything or by the issuance of a 'debit' from the defuse balance of one of the parties (no creditor for that -- it just disappears, but the point is that the party has to have sufficient diffuse value credit to be able to destroy the required amount of diffuse value) ... I think the design space of rules governing production/inflation/transactions of diffuse value units could yield a lot of flexibility for helping to encourage that actuarial optimization over the transaction space be likely to efficiently produce broadly meaningful uses for resources -- perhaps more so than the setup we have now ...

The greedy could still act in their own self interest but would by design be more constrained in how they harm the rest of us and the relative amounts of harm of different practices would be more easily discernible as part of the public record and understanding ...
Not just visit, anything. You'd never be able to communicate. The SNR is such that it would always just be noise.

If FTL isn't possible then the end result of listening is simply the confirmation that something else exists and it stops right there.
I believe you, but I don't think they come close to Agent.
Much like the author, I am skeptical of the role that 'fake news' has in the current political crisis in the united states (and, I would argue, globally). There's something about that critique that seems to a)lack a broader historical context b) lack any 'material' grounding.

I'm still waiting for the article(s) that incorporate these ideas successfully.
Buy a sturdy lock ?
After using the Comfort Keyboard system [1] for about 10 years, I made the switch to the Koolertron split keyboard [2]. I'm a huge fan of having the left spacebar programmed to backspace. It comes with extra key caps so you can make them all black.

I'm Jewish and I observe the sabbath. It's quite a liberating experience that the whole world aught to experience. It's a time when I sleep better knowing that I can't turn on my phone or check my email. I eat great sit-down meals with my family and friends, with no outside distractions; no one is eyeing their cellphone or worrying about getting back to work because they can't do either of those things. We'll often meet our friends to play boardgames or hang out in the park.

There are definitely times when it's tough. A tight deadline is coming up at work and Friday's sundown is just hours away. But I plan around those things and I find that on the whole, having a day (completely) off of work relaxes me a ton.

These days, technology is literally built to be addictive. I'm sure there are people who resist checking their phones, writing emails at 2am and reading hacker news better than I do, but I think the majority of people would benefit from an occasional day away from these things.
Yep, that's why our data is a liability for them, thus they are trying to collect as less as possible.

Which, is also the main argument of the OP for preferring Apple.
If vim plugins are the only thing holding you back you might want to consider just adding

>I, for one, can never purchase a device that has to take a photo every time I lift it.

iPhone X series is great fit for you then since it doesn't do that. Face ID uses an infrared dot projector and independent viewer to do a 3D read and then that goes directly to the independent security processor which acts as a black box (all cryptographically tied together, just like Touch ID). There is no photo of your face being taken let alone going anywhere. You can quite literally and trivially (as in I just did it right now) completely cover the front facing camera on an iPhone X and it will unlock with Face ID just fine.

If you're just worried about the mere existence of a front facing camera period then you should physically block it or drill it and inject it with black epoxy or something of that order.

>Couldn’t they ditch the notch by having the speaker on the edge of the device?

The notch is pure function defining form where the function is Face ID and a front facing camera. Face ID is a very valuable and important security feature, even if they ever figure out how to get Touch ID to work again through a screen. And a huge proportion of the market wants a front facing camera (as long as it's sufficiently secured, which Apple does a decent job of in iOS). Maybe they'll figure out how to profitably mass produce those features through a screen too someday but I don't see the notch going away in the mean time. Speaker function is by far the least important role there.

Yeah, between that and current stock it’s going to be quite a long time before you can truly give up on it.

The historical evidence is the stories. Just like the Great Flood narrative which was likely over a thousand years old by the time it was first committed to writing, some people, somewhere dealt with some version of the stated events, and it got embellished throughout antiquity to fit the needs of whatever society saw fit to adapt the story. It's likely a flood happened, (which would have been at the level of the 'whole world' of the tribe that experienced it) it's likely an enslavement and subsequent freeing happened, though the actual details are of course lost to history.
For me, it would be video/movie watching. On 5.5in is much nicer.
I don't think it's a case of "folks no longer want phones that can be used in one hand or fits into a pocket"

I think it's more a case of the companies saying "what you want is a bigger, shiny screen so you can use it like a computer, nobody has small phones anymore, don't be left out"

They have gone from a useful accessory, to a status/fashion symbol where bigger and faster is always better*

* For a given value of better

(Obviously some people actually do want bigger screens because they need it for things, but I would say they are in the minority)
The smartphone lets you unlock the car and drive off. Keyless entry.
You do explicitly consent when you agree to the terms of service. Additionally, further down in the paragraph you quoted:

"When it’s collected, personal data is either not logged at all, removed from reports before they’re sent to Apple, or protected by techniques such as Differential Privacy."

And the fact that you can download the data unquestionably proves that it can be traced back to you. I think you're just seeing what you want to see, and aren't paying attention to all of the loopholes they create for themselves.
Thought I was the only one! :P It's from the late 90s. I myself use PSP6 instead of 5. I don't really remember what the differences were anymore. My only complaint about it is it doesn't do transparent PNGs well (or at all), whether it's reading or writing one. As far as features/functionality/UI though, I like it more than anything else (Photoshop, Gimp, Pixlr on web, etc.). For example, I can never figure out for the life of me how you rectangular-select an area, and just move that area in all those other programs (they always try to move your selection and not the content inside the selection; whereas the default move operation in PSP is to move the content). But then again I'm a dev, not a designer, and I do pretty simple stuff with a graphics program.
Entity Framework Core Tutorial
I'm still using an iPhone 4S 64GB with a Third Rail removable battery case. Blog posts like this make it clear that there's a market for small-screen phones, even though none of the usual companies are building them. I think it's time to give up hope for Apple, and build a new ecosystem.

Old iPods are very hackable [1]. There are suppliers making replacement backplates, click wheels, extended capacity batteries, and SD card adaptors. There's plenty of room for a Raspberry Pi Zero in the back, although I use a PQI Air Card. It can't run touchscreen apps though, which rules out maps/cameras/typing/many other apps.

Is there a touchscreen that can fit inside 103.5 x 61.8 mm? That's the part I would need to build my own iPod successor.

You could use vbscript for, well, scripting. Essentially taking the same position / purpose as batch files on windows. Pretty sure that still works. I wouldn't do it anymore, personally, but I'm almost positive it's still functional.

This is not true when you are writing code you haven't tried before. It's true for html, Css, devops stuff.

Or if you are trying to come up with an algorithm that is complex. Doing that in open office is impossible for me.
Cue familiar joke about all bicycles being fifty pounds, if we factor in the lock needed to protect them: a 5 pound bike needs a 45 pound lock, a 20 pound bike needs a 30 pound lock, and a fifty pound bike needs no lock at all.

Some get around this by buying multiple locks and keeping them at commuting destinations.
This article is ridiculous on a number of different levels. Its entire premise -- that everyone is working constantly -- is utter bullshit. Some are, but as I see it, that's entirely their business. This author wants to make it society's business.
Here in Utah it is very common for local businesses to be closed on the sabbath and there is strong cultural pressure among Mormons to not work or do anything that would cause someone to have to work on Sunday (e.g., shopping and going out to eat, though some take it even further by abstaining from things like online shopping or even watching television).

I don't see us headed in that direction though. It's it's becoming more and more common for businesses which had long been closed on Sunday to cave and begin opening on Sunday (it seems like it often coincides with when the children of a business owner take over). With the share of practicing Mormons in the state less than half (and falling) there is just too much missed opportunity.

Also, my own impression is that the younger generation of practicing Mormons don't seem to follow the older generations sabbath restrictions nearly as strictly. My siblings and Mormon friends almost all seem to not keep the sabbath quite as holy as our parents did.

I do wonder though if I would have spent nearly as much time as a kid dinking around on the computer and learning what became my career if my parents had let me play with friends on Sunday.
It's true that very few USA officials have been in office for 120 years. I'm not sure why that matters? USA actions during and after the Philippine-American War aren't substantially different than our actions in several subsequent wars. Although lots of Americans disagreed with it at the time, there's only enough room in the library for so many Mark Twain books. As these things do, pretty soon it all took on a sort of awful momentum, and then talking about it was pointless. McKinley himself played it off as just a tragic circumstance: "If old Dewey had just sailed away when he smashed that Spanish fleet, what a lot of trouble he would have saved us."

"Gosh, if only we had known there were no WMDs!" Nothing about the Philippine-American War made it into any history book ever assigned to any student in USA, just as nothing about the liars who killed 600,000 Iraqis ever will. Aware or not, we are still being manipulated.

If you increased the effective resolution the touch targets would get very hard to use.

I don’t think the notch is a factor in this.

Apple knows how many they sell. I’m guessing their sales metrics show it’s just a tiny tiny portion of sales. The fact it’s no longer similar to other phones they’re still selling means the economy of scale isn’t there anymore.
Sounds amazing. If it ever gets a relatively active plugin ecosystem like zsh or fish, I'd definitely switch. Being able to write shell functions in Python would be very refreshing.

If they want bigger adoption, dedicating a bunch of people who do nothing but port zsh and fish plugins would probably go a long way.
500-1M USD? If you hire full-time US workers then that's probably the case.

Bring back Saturnalia so we all get the week off between Christmas and New Years.
This topic coming up feels like such incredible validation for me. I’ve held this opinion for a while. I went back to the 5s(e) after a jaunt with a 6s and it really is a superior phone for me.

I would gladly pay £1000 for this phone to be a first class citizen again, it feels like apps aren’t optimised or suitably spaced for the small phone. But I _love_ the size, the design. The touchID- everything is where it feels like it should be. Ugh.

FWIW. I even jumped to android to get my tiny-phone fix. But Samsung crapware pushes me back.
In my experience, it’s TOO minimum relative to the 6, 6+, and X.

SV is good at Software, UI/UX and, historically anyway, Silicon.

But it can't do end hardware.

And the stuff it has been successful at is designing consumer hardware but outsourcing the manufacturing to another country.

Arduino is Italian. Samsung is South Korean. TSMC is Thai. ARM and RPi is British. Shenzhen is the hardware place to be now. It didn't even steal that crown from SV. It stole it from Akihabara.
