While I support this in theory, the news source looks less than credible. On another article they suggest that medical professionals as well as IT professionals were becoming "dead career fields" which is very odd.If you look at hiring statistics in the latter at the very least, you will see that this is somewhat alarmist.

Has the iPhone screen durability improved at all? It seems like they are (or were?) extremely susceptible to damage from dropping and I always took that as a sign that Apple wanted to force people to upgrade.

I think the critique and crisis stems more from research that presents optimistic, or potentially embellished results, rather than failed experiments, or experiments with small sample sizes. There seems to be pressure to generate “novel” research that presents profound results rather than admitting an experiment yielded nothing. Admitting nothing came from a study would prevent more people from wasting hours, days and years of time trying to replicate or study something that isn’t true or doesn’t seem to work.
Imitation is definitely not the way to go. I have the same problems using Windows and OS X because I'm so ingrained into the Linux desktop that I find it really painful to make quick hacks to OS X to get it working the way I want (OS X might give a more polished "out of the box" experience, but it's also less flexible should you want anything even just subtly different to Apple's vision of the world).

And Windows is just Windows. I don't think there has ever been a commercial platform released that even comes close to how terrible Windows (throughout it's numerous iterations) is.

That would imply people will go back to installing things, hunting for feeds, copypasting urls... As much as I like desktop tech, that boat has likely sailed, at least for the mass-consumer market.

The difference is that Bitcoin is not used much for transactions currently. The companies on the stock market usually have a valuation at least somewhat related to the output they provide (I say somewhat because stock traders also try to project for the future and often get this wrong).

I see this as an issue of what's probably a reasonable valuation for the near future for a company or virtual currency and what is the current valuation. Bitcoin is valued many many times more than it's current actual value, most companies would have a massive selloff if they published such bad numbers in terms of current earnings with no clear value in the future.

Until Bitcoin gets at least some widespread adoption and most people investing in it are people that want to get rich quick, I see it on par with any other pump and dump scheme, pyramid scheme or cult.

The Galaxy S5 (and previous models) has a removable back (just needs a fingernail) that gives access to the battery (which also requires only a fingernail). These batteries are not so incredibly hazardous that they need a shell - I've opened up other devices with bonded batteries and their battery packs are not so much easier to damage that an "untrained user" is at risk of severe injury.

The battery cells are designed to be fairly robust - punctured a Kindle battery during a screen repair (friends roommate came home drunk, bumped into the table while I was picking away at the glue) and there was a very brief tiny poof of smoke and nothing else. If the battery hadn't been glued, that situation would have been impossible.

I also don't recall seeing any news articles back in the days of near universal user swappable batteries about widespread incidences of users being injured by swapping phone batteries.

It's also less likely you will damage a battery if you just have to undo a couple screws instead of sitting there with a heat gun, from a repair tech perspective - but I've only seen batteries held down by screws in unibody laptops.
> The rise of Hitler, for example, was based on him blaming the Jews for Germany's messed up economy (when it was the insane reparation load of WW1 that caused the economy situation)

Hitler spent far more time blaming Democracy for that, and several missteps in a row really handed it over to him. He despised Jews and blamed them, but you don't really come to power by blaming hidden minorities. He had to first destroy Democracy, which he did, to rousing applause. He convinced everyone that autocracy was the solution. And man, was it fast. As soon as he was Chancellor, they were up and murdering what was left of the minority opposition. It was fast and ugly. And after that, it was ironclad. People should be more worried.

At least let me roll back to old software version. I have 4S which is unusable and locked on iOS 9. It's not like it's secure today, so just let me get back to iOS 6 and have at least fast phone.
> it's not worth it to spend huge amounts of time to support a phone you're no longer selling

Unfortunately, without the newer versions of the iOS the phone loses functionalities pretty quickly (the apps will require newer versions of iOS), which, quite conveniently for Apple, will make you need to buy a new one. Aka planned obsolescence.

But kudos for getting at least one version of iOS to perform better than the last one (if that's true). That would be awesome if they actually kept this as a long-term trend.
That's right, they aren't. Now, let's have a reasonable dialogue about the consequences of uranium mining vs the supply chain for materials for wind and solar.

All of these technologies are zero-on-site emissions, and that's a useful distinction of course (compared to coal). But of course we still need to consider the externalities of the rest of the process.
The 5 series and SE phones are pretty easy to repair indeed. I've replaced a screen and battery with no experience, a few tools from ifixit and a youtube video without much hassle.
It's gone pretty downhill from there with the iphone 6. Especially because the screens are much more intricate.
I don't actually know if it's possible to autorotate a quadcopter. I imagine you would have very little control during the transition. Quadcopters don't fly very high anyway, so there's probably little to gain from it.
What do mouse and keystrokes have to do with eyestrain, though? I guess it could be an indicator on how active you are using your computer, but I could imagine plenty activities that involve using your computer without actually interacting with it.
That's quite interesting. Do you have more stuff to read about it? I never really used podcasts so I always wondered how people listen to it and assumed people use spotify or something like that.
I'm still surprised no one has yet figured out a way to store sensitive data about personal interests and preferences on the client-side and let the client itself pull appropriate ads for the user to see. The quality of such a system should be comparable or better to server-side technologies with the right amount of tuning, and much less privacy-invading than existing approaches.

Personally I'd love to support more websites through ads if two conditions could be met:

- A way to ensure that ads don't try to harm me by e.g. leading me to websites serving malware or abusing my computer's resources (e.g. miners)

- A way to keep my privacy and control what data is collected about me (and who has access to that data)

Currently I simply can't turn off the ad-blocker even if I wanted as most sites become completely unusable and outright obnoxious by showing large, blinking or content-hiding ads, videos, popups or fake overlays. That's why most people use ad-blockers (IMHO). If ads are decent, relevant and non-obtrusive I personally would be happy to see them.

Also, go to any large website these days (without ad-blocker enabled) and check how many third-party trackers they load. There are many sites that send my data to more than 50 (!) different ad networks and partners, which is just insane.
i have no gapps on my phone/computer and don't use any google services with log in, but still fail to find search engine other than Google which would pass my simple test - enter well known movie and see if engine shows synapsis, information about director/actors and ratings from various sources

I definitely agree but where I see difficulty is our lack of patience not being compatible with these and older style games. I used to love text based and prompt based adventures, like the old Sierra games, but with recent replays I become impatient and not able to follow through.

I blame being an adult with less free time but also the more modern modes of play such as battle royales. Games like PubG/Fortnite are addicting, fast paced, and have enough complexity to make each run seem unique. But the problem is I played both so much I hardly remember those unique, glorious moments when my team does well. What also contributes to the addiction is the team aspect where I'd have a group asking be to play Fortnite and another to play PubG. It's hard to turn down these interactions as well since the friends on the other side are hard to get ahold of in real life.

There's also an over abundance of games so you have to pick and choose which to spend your time on. I sometimes long for the day where income and game availability limited my range as I was able to concentrate on what I had rather than quickly finishing a game and moving on to the next or being trapped in a battle royale.

Still, there are great gems being pumped out by AAA and indie. All genres, including IF, are being filled because the tools to make games are so easily accessible. I feel we live in a great time considering the trend of games is moving toward multiplatform and affordability. We, or at least I, just need to find the patience to not hurry through and fully enjoy the medium.
Thanks, that made my day!

Show HN: Arc Studio Pro – Collaborative Editing/Version Control for Screenplays
Optimisation, Apple only ever seems to have optimisation turned on / tested on their latest release of iPhone. So whenever there is a new iOS, it felt insanely great on your latest iPhone, but felt like a step backwards in older iPhone. Although they generally put back whatever optimisation they have in stages of iOS point release.

Having these optimisation and software targeting latest iPhone also means Software aren't as well tested in previous iPhone hardware with less memory. We now have iPhone that spans from 2GB Memory to 4GB.

Apps are also increasingly more resources hog.
Reinventing the Square Wheel – The Daily Software Anti-Pattern
Tell that to the person/people in charge of the lightning port and headphone jack on the iPhone.

I know headphone jacks are no longer on Apple's radar, but they always seem to get messed up after a year so that the stock iPhone headphones are not recognised and thus the control buttons don't work.

However, the lightning port drives me mad because the blasted device won't charge up properly without me fiddling with angles and pressure for that goldilocks zone. It just sits there vibrating away in a charging/not-charging loop. One assumes it's the cable but that makes no difference.
And you just explained why, while it sounds great to me otherwise, I can never get behind socialism. The evils of capitolism are essentially still present, but now controlled by committee.

I once dreampt the answer was a new meta-currency, where there is subjective emotional value traded against a objective value currency. The interactions you had during the day gave value to others life and you shared in that, and you gave back to those that brightened yours. My dream imagined people being their best, for both selfish and social reasons. But upon waking and reflection, I found a Black Mirror-esque dance of everyone emotionally blackmailing each other, and facade-laden interaction approaching desperation.

I don't know the answer, but careful application seems key. The world is made of edge cases.
FWIW, although there are no binary releases that include Python 3 yet, if you build from scratch with ./configure --with-python=3 you can use Sage with Python 3 and you'll find that the vast majority of stuff works (though with no promises).

Reading the spec sheet on it has me feeling in awe for the antenna designer. This chipset claims to be able to simultaneously tune in on 850 / 900 / 1500 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2200 / 2800 / 3500 / 5000mhz. Having gone through the “black art” of antenna design just for a few of those frequencies before, I can’t imagine trying to cover all of them well, but I also know if anyone does it well, it’s XX’s team (not outing the person as I don’t know if it’s well known who leads that team at Apple).

Since the summary relies so heavily on a Steve Jobs anecdote for the "don't follow your passion" advice:

Steve Jobs was not passionate about Zen buddhism, whatever he may have said at some point in time. It was a passing interest of his. He was very obviously passionate, even obsessed, about developing great computing products for consumers.

The example is horribly chosen.

What do you mean exactly by illegal? Nobody's going to jail for sending an email outside of working hours, even in France.

Edit: actually, for anyone wondering, the law is that a >50 employee's company should document it's own recommendation about how not to harass your colleagues during out-of-work hours. When fully applied, the worst case scenario would be that, as an employee, you can officially (ie. under a legal base, not legal right, but IANAL) ask your employer to have workaholic colleagues to step down on their out-of-hours emails. Nothing more, nothing less, very very far from "in France it's illegal to send a work email outside of the working hours".

This cascades as I then provide value for people that buy my later inventions.

I found that a good way to do this is to try and guide the person's thoughts carefully towards the point that you are trying to make.

Cost is the amount of money originally paid for the item, or the amount to replace. Value is an expression of utility. Many expensive things have average utility, and so aren't worth their price.

No, no, no. Why do you think that?

Example: a central part of artistic practice in art/design schools and professional work is what is known as "the crit". It's where they gather and show their work to each other and then proceed to shred the fuck out of it (with widely varying degrees of politeness).

Similar kinds of things happen with writers, marketing and film-making.

The only place where this stuff doesn't happen is perhaps some business/finance domains where outcomes are strictly evaluated by some ROI measure and maybe compliance.

[1] badly misrepresents what happened. Throttling peak performance when the battery can’t deliver enough power for it helps people use the phone longer. It’s almost the opposite of planned obsolescence. The alternative is people’s phone shuts down randomly, which is definitely more likely to push them into replacing it. It also is fixed after the battery is replaced.

Unless you mean that the battery gettin old is planned obsolescence. But that’s not a great arguement either. Batteries are a wear item, and will need to be replaced if you want to use the device more than a couple years.
