Maybe, but the iPhone camera has never lagged terribly behind the top of the line Androids. But the same time, the so called “top of the line” Androids had other compromises that iPhone usually did not.

An iPhone is usually a well balanced phone. It may not have the best of anything, but is usually right there at the top. And if you want a great camera so badly that you are willing to compromise on everything else, by all means, buy a dedicated digital camera. Similarly, if you want your phone to be so good at playing music that you are fine with the other compromises, you might want to look into a dedicated music player. Smartphones are meant to to generally purpose jack-of-all-trades sort of devices and the iPhone excels at that. If I want a device specialised for a purpose, I’ll buy the just that — not a smartphone.

Regardless if Fuchsia has a future, it's highly unlikely that they'll want to stick with Android for over another decade.
Not all carriers support it. That's the only issue.
I am pretty sure some security issues did happened else supermicro would have definitely sued the reporters by now. But then the mild response by US government and the FBI in general means that the so called attack wasn't as sophisticated as claimed by Bloomberg.

I have both a Google Pixel 2 and an Apple iPhone X (my personal and my work phone, respectively) and I seriously prefer the Pixel in every regard, with the minor exception of lacking 3D touch support. But then it doesn't really seem like 3D Touch is used for much of anything on the iPhone (and when it is, it's a hidden cheat-code-like thing that is very undiscoverable).

I even like the shape of my Pixel better. The X's bump is a gimmick at best, a hindrance to app presentation at worst.
I’m not German but spend a lot of time with Germans who are more often than not fantastic fun. And quite “freigeistlich” I find.

This is an excellent German stand-up comedian who plies his trade in London: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=48gV9W9UZHk

A curious thing that I have noticed that when Germans speak and write English, they often don’t differentiate between 2 previously mentioned subjects or objects. For example:

Dave and Andy went to London with lunch and a book. He forgot it at the train station.

Is it something in the structure of the German language that means this confusion is created in translation? Ie we are left unclear as to whether it was Andy or Dave who forgot something and whether it was his lunch or his book.
Can cereal handle user defined types without having to write custom serialization and deserialization functions for each? At first glance this seems to be the main difference.

I don't understand the question... What I wrote was that deaf person should not even ever consider giving up their privacy. They should have possibility to "hear" without giving up their privacy, and government should take care of it.
I still don't understand why this matters.

Who cares if Firefox or Chrome on iOS support some new feature if everybody is using Safari since it's the default. You can't ignore half of the mobile market when rolling out your website.
You have got to be kidding me, this whole discussion (under the article) is citing several stats in which is US at best tied for the most awful police force.

For a guy pulling the handwaving argument you don't seem to try too hard.
Isn’t this what selling 3rd party on Amazon is? They handle fulfillment and delivery? I think it’s a good idea since I don’t think eBay or Walmart offer this service (?), and I’m continually hearing how Amazon is screwing over their 3rd party sellers (Amazon basic to replace 3rd party products that sell well, etc). What would you happen to you guys if say Walmart started offering 3rd party fulfillment? Think they could do it well?

Guilty thought: it's probably good for the rest of us that these kids lock themselves into the dumpster of game dev, otherwise they'd be undermining labor markets elsewhere.
The Analytics team at my company does this. ETL's we call them (Export, Transform, Load). Some of us are app devs and some are data analysts; there's cross-over. We do other things too, but moving data between systems is a big part of it.

As for job titles; Software Engineer (or Developer) of Analytics, Data Analyst, Data Scientist, or something along those lines. Probably varies by company.

Maps is a tricky beast. Given Google Maps has been around for so long, there may be a lot of licensing going on with the images. You also have to comply with various government requests to be able to host images of specific areas.
The foldable Surface is designed for Windows Core OS. Given how poorly Android has historically done with tablets or other non-phone form factors (nearly all unique Android devices have been purged from the market), I don't think that would work out well.

For "cloud-only IoT devices" this ban is clearly in effect.

I'm honestly surprised that there isn't already an EU antitrust action in progress based on Google blocking YouTube access on Windows Phone and some of the Amazon Fire devices.

It seems like YouTube should have more than enough market share for EU competition law to apply.
My work contact information has been in the Apollo, Exactis, and NetProspex breaches. I have no idea how my information ever got in these databases. Have I been pwned sent the only notifications I got about these breaches. Does anyone maintain a list of these services I can preemptively get my information removed from?
btw: "Surfen" is a lot more common than "Wellenreiten" in Germany.
Google services being refused on the windows mobile platform contributed greatly to its death.

Who would ever make an app for something that doesn't even have youtube--when trashy tv boxes do?

>Why don't they invest in building a sane web application (or similar) that can do all the validation and calculations in a much better looking interface that is suited for the job / application?

Inertia, training cost, and risk of failure.

1 year ago I made a very extensive spreadsheet to analyze planned production and forecasts at a factory. It took about 6 months after the logic was thoroughly vetted to transition it into an IT supported auto-update to a database as the primary project for 1 IT analyst. No pretty front end to modify production parameters or anything like that. If we transitioned any earlier, it would have been the typical "our user keeps changing the scope and logic of the application we're trying to build for them".

This was probably the best way things could have reasonably gone. No long term spreadsheet usage, spreadsheet had good documentation, used tables, names ranges to make the formulas easy to read, etc.

Excel can do a decent job at figuring out the required logic. But it is used as an everything tool where task specific applications would be best. And people only know enough to be dangerous
> I've talked to the devs on Twitter, yes.

Can you point me to that discussion? I can't seem to find any discussion in which you participate on Twitter about Go GC with Rick Hudson or Austin Clements, Ian Lance Taylor etc.
As I understand it, no - if you can read from all of main memory, you can just look for the function you need.

If they get used together enough, they do become a compound word. Only two-word compounds though, English doesn't really do the three-word/four-word/N-word compounds like German does.
I'm not aware of any use of differential privacy on the Android platform.

And who cares about AGPS. Your cellular provider who is the only one who has access to AGPS data can already track your location based on cell tower information.

Yeah, so everything would need to be open and manufactured in the US.
> Buy a phone that gets support

Which phone provides the same level of support as Apple ?
A similar one for car parts is rockauto.com. UI from the 90s but simple and does the job.
Ok, I hear you, but I think you're missing the forest for the trees - Why did amazon beat these businesses in the first place?

It wasn't because they connected buyers with sellers, people have been doing that for decades. It has nothing to do with the rules of engagement, amazon is full of fake products and reviews. It wasn't because the user experience was bad, the amazon UX is pretty bad, it's very cluttered, and Shopify's UX is really impressive.

Amazon beats Wal-Mart et al. because their delivery is faster. And that takes control. The difference between delivering in two days and delivering in three days comes down to seconds.

And for what it's worth - Sometimes I am unable to get an Uber, but every time I call the taxi company, a taxi shows up.

(All of this isn't to say Deliverr won't provide value, just that I am doubtful it can beat amazon)
Yeah. The S4 Apple watch SoC is actually using Two Tempest (LITTLE) cores.

Pretty awesome, if you think about It. That little watch is more powerful than it appears.
Ask HN: How worried should I be about electromagnetic radiation in my home?
I just watched the somewhat concerning documentary "Take Back Your Power" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZTiT9ZSg3Q ) and was left with some questions.

I'm very sympathetic to the privacy concerns people have regarding "smart meters". They clearly can be abused to provide high-resolution data on energy usage in a household, which could allow estimation of number of people residing, when they're home or away, what appliances they're using, etc. with the same lack of accountability that all data collection in the United States is subject to.

The health concerns, though, I have no real skill at evaluating. People in the movie claim that some smart meters use the electrical wiring in the home as a large antenna, and thus create large amounts of radio frequency radiation when transmitting, leading to numerous health problems. There are also claims about the cancer risk of nearby cell towers and of EMF radiation in general.

Unlike information technology, the physical effects of radio waves are not my area of expertise. Are these concerns well-placed, or is this mere fear-mongering? Should I go buy an EMF meter and inspect my home? (I was looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/Meterk-Electromagnetic-Radiation-Detector-Dosimeter/dp/B0754VVW4W/ref=sr_1_3 )
What? As a pedestrian I hate drivers who do not use their turn signals.
Ask HN: How can I see which data was there about me in the Apollo breach?
I just got the haveibeenpwnd.com notification that my data was breached in a hack to "Apollo". I don't even know who they are or what data they have about me. Is there a publicly accessible copy of this data (or better yet somewhere where I can just look up my email)?
Never once seen it play out like that. Most people understand that your work comes before the help they need.

That is perfectly fine. It always boils down to what you prefer and what fits your workflow. I have no problem with Android in general. It is the grandstanding claims like Androids are better than iPhones at everything that I object to. It is preferable to have more choices than less. I wish the likes of Windows Phone, Ubuntu Touch and BB 10 had survived.

It usually means this is an experimental side project of some Google employee, and not an official part of any Google product strategy. Google likes for its employees' side projects to be released under Google's GitHub org, which you can variously interpret as good (Google wants to promote and support open source experimentation) or evil (Google wants to assert ownership of its employee's side projects) depending on how you feel about Google.

(I used to work at Google and had a lot of side projects. That was before Google moved everything to GitHub, but they liked for me to mark the code as copyright Google but "not an official Google product". I was fine with this arrangement.)
Same here. German always follows the rules. You might not like the rules, but it always follows the rules!
Exploratory Data Visualization with Vega, Vega-Lite, and Altair (2018)
I use imapnotify to connect to my imap server and respond only when a mail is received by running offlineimap to sync the mail and telling mu4e via emacsclient to sync.
Since mu is never ever called except by emacs and only exactly when an email has come in there is never contention for the lock.
I'm in total agreement. I told everybody at Waymo (back when it was part of X) that the car companies are fully incremental- they roll features out over years and push them down from the luxury models to the cheapies. They would far prefer to gain knowledge through incremental improvements each year.

The Waymo folks absorbed this, agreed, and said they would proceed towards full autonomy- I kind of get this, for example I don't even use cruise control and don't plan on using L3 autonomous because I worry about losing attentiveness and getting in an accident.

Whether (and you say 'arguably') they are actively preferring to slow down the rollout of full self-driving is hard to say; I think they're just cautious and don't want a few dramatic events to scuttle this promising area of research.
I don't mind most of German except for gender+case+plural+whatever variables giving you like eight different forms of "the" and similar complexity for "a" and for adjective endings, and even impacting suffixes for the noun (end declinations). Having to think ahead to "okay what's the gender of the noun I'm gonna use three words from now...now factor in the case implied by the preposition preceding it...okay it's 'dem' + '-em' + '-en'".

Like I'm sure English has similarly complicated bullshit (the spelling is obviously a gigantic dumpster fire), but wow it's like a whole grammar domain I have to think about that doesn't even exist in English. It just feels like German has way more "modifiers" and variants of words.
No, it's not. It's already booting into a desktop like UI on the Pixelbook and they've even ported parts of Chrome to it.

It's more like some universal OS for Google products that'll probably be ready for launch in 2-3 years or so. Sure, IoT may be one of the goals of Fuchsia, but I'm sure it's meant for future phones as a step by step replacement for Android and future Chromebooks, probably starting with Pixel devices or whatever they'll rebrand to next year.
SpecInt/FP is comparing Single core IPC between one A12 BIG core, and one Skylake server CPU core.

Per-core power consumption on that Intel chip is 165/28 = 5.89W.

Apple is pushing similar IPC at 3W instead of 5.89W. In that context, it's not so unbelievable. But it's still really fucking impressive.
This is an excellent series of tweets that show that while not everyone should code, everyone can use some code in their life to make things better.
By not documenting them you make clear that they're not intended for production use, which is perfectly valid in my opinion. I also do this a lot.
Can the $320 Pocofone F1 let me watch Netflix in HD? I consider that to be an everyday task.
You can cut google some slack though. They walk a fine line. You can use AOSP without any google play services. It works great. Sure, they won't make it easy, but something has to pay the bills. So things are in a very fine balance right now wrt AOSP. They also earn a bit of goodwill because, as I discovered recently, you can still use carddav, caldav, and xmpp for accessing google contacts, calendar and hangouts although google has officially deprecated all the open protocols. So they haven't gone full evil just yet.
German is an amazing, beautiful language. With not much of the vocabulary borrowed from other languages, words actually make sense. From that perspective, German can be seen as the modern equivalent of Latin, and if I were to choose only one language to remain on the entire planet, it would be German (sorry English, Chinese and Spanish). Its sounds are easier for non-native speakers to pronounce - especially compared to English; it seems to be more resistant to frivolous changes, being sensibly conservative. It’s not perfect, but Latin is a dead language, and we did not have a will to adopt it as a universal language - unlike, for example, Israel which had enough determination to revive a dead language (I find it interesting that they, in fact, also considered German for the role of the national language).

Amazon is a logistics powerhouse. $7M probably wouldn't even cover the capital investment of a fraction of their equipment in just one of their warehouses. Claiming a series A startup is going to compete with that is a surefire way to discredit it.
You're correct.

Also, add a giant map and an exploration/preparation period where most players are searching for weapons before fighting anyone.
seconded; before learning another language that made it explicit rather than implicit, i sorta just took the linguistic structures of English for granted. it wasn't until I studied German that I even really began to truly understand the nature of grammar. I knew it well enough to use proper grammar but not explicitly enough to actually explain why something that was proper (or improper) was what it was

Woot woot! (Biased author here, sorry... can’t help it)
"multiple items on the same page" - This is usually a positive, since it allows the user to easily look at color or size variations, there is a way to look at only reviews of certain variations

"mixed reviews and the unknown of which seller is more likely to ship a good product" - Being unsure of which seller is best also exists on eBay

I don't think Amazon's listings are confusing. You usually have size and color variations, and sometimes things like multi-packs. I guess that is subjective.

You are correct, but we shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good.
I found this paragraph and the following descriptions rather interesting:

> The existence of historical precedents for court-packing beyond FDR further bolsters the argument for it. In a 1968 article for the Baylor Law Review, political scientist JR Saylor detailed “seven occasions Congress has enlarged or diminished the size of the Supreme Court by one or two judges.” Each of these seven times, the changes were made either to “purge the Court of … justices making decisions objectionable to an incumbent of the White House or to a dominant party majority in Congress” or to “‘pack’ the Court in order that the policies of the government in power would be upheld as constitutional.”

fwiw - I'm not sure I agree with the concept of court packing, but reading about it, the reasons and mechanics are interesting especially in light of the Merrick Garland, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh nominations.
Absolutely. The only thing Twitter poisoned is journalism around politics.
My company should start hiring from that conference. We really need people who care about docs. Devs usually hate it.
It’s toxic and lazy too. You should first go look and see if the actual code is high quality/does what you want.

If your idea of shopping for dependencies is looking at the amount of GitHub stars and the quality of the documentation: you are going to miss some real diamonds in the rough.
Its pretty obvious that Waymo wants to make car hardware a commodity, and car companies don't like that and want autonomy to be a commodity.

I don't really know where Cruise is at, but it's not crazy to believe that both things will become commodified and competition will be on cost of rides, at least in rich urban markets.

At that point, the question becomes: who survives that transition?
