My memory is that it was common knowledge for several years that upgrading the OS to a version more than 3-4 years past the hardware release would cause a dramatic performance hit. For as long as I had access to an iphone, that was a known issue, as in, many people with older iphones would agree, any apple forum would have topics about it. Maybe it got more press coverage in the year leading up to the admission. Maybe there were multiple factors and the one they admitted became prominent in that year.
I agree, I think people now go to universities to find a job, but I don't think that is what universities are meant for. They are created to be a place for higher learning and intellectual pursuits, which is what most CS courses at universities provide (building a network layer, operating systems, etc).
David Hume's arguments are not valid anymore. Hume argues that we cannot reason from a part of the universe to the universe as a whole but that is clearly disproven by modern science: spectroscopy does exactly that, using the knowledge we obtained from local observation of chemistry to determine the composition of distant stars many lightyears away.

I found the forum that the article was talking about, and the how-to article. Using the Google cache, since they've altered the forum to make you register to see content:

Sounds like the suggestion is to first change the email from the original owner's to yours. Then, sign up the original owner's email as a Japanese account.
this is the exciting part to me; is there any constraint that the output has to be a 2-dimensional figure? I could imagine a style file that outputs a blender scene with a time dimension, or a VR scene that you can interact with in the same way they describe dragging one of the vector heads and having it recalculate the rest of the model.
It uses `itertools` internally very heavily, which means if you generally are using generators and such, you maintain those benefits, as well as get to work with infinite sequences, etc.

If you do find a `toolz` function to be too slow, there's always the `cytoolz` versions.
You can't do a thing you don't feel like doing. Ask David Hume, or ask any depressed person.

In reality our ideas about what we should be doing co-evolve with our feelings about doing those things.
Communication, weapons, navigation, and weather forecasting are the modern cornerstones of spaceflight. I bet communication satellites outnumber all others by 10 to 1. I love the emotional aspect of space exploration but I wanted to note that there are established, profitable, and increasingly essential reasons for mastering spaceflight.
>"I'm curious why HN users don't seem to have a problem with Apple censoring the App Store on demand, blocking VPNs and other crypto tools which have real life consequences for some in China."

Pulling an App from the App store is nowhere near the same as building a tool to satisfy the CCP. I get it you're a Google employee and want to defend them but this is nothing more than a red herring and an equivalency fallacy. It sound like you've really drank the Mountain View Kool-aid.
If you use SMS for 2FA there are numerous vulnerabilities. The Google Authenticator app is safer, unless Instagram itself has some sort of vulnerability.
NO IT WON'T HANG. I give up. I don't know how else to try to explain this to you.
The intent is to be intellectually offensive. He said it and knew it wouldn't fly. The attitude is "this is none of your business, deny deny deny, what are you gonna do about it?"
They would also have logs of any further attempts to exploit the vulnerability after it was found. I haven't seen anyone mention that. Although it's still no definitive proof, it can be useful corroborating evidence. (I left Google years ago, so I have no insider knowledge about the issue.)
I'm currently still using the V20 and like it, but do think that as the notch gets smaller, you lose the available space for functionality like the LG's second screen.

Of course ideally, the notch gets smaller, not like the Pixel.
Amusing, in Burlington VT the housing costs have risen to the point where professors can't afford to live in Burlington, it's all the student money that drives things up, this is due in a large part to the fact that most students only dorm 2 years of their degree and senior year housing isn't actually guaranteed by the university, it's a lottery of whatever units are left over after allocating the more junior years.

Boston actually has a similar issue with students inflating housing, but it's diffused over a much larger population so it's less directly impactful. I think a large part of this is that since, as a parent, you're mortgaging your house to send your child to university anyways a few extra thousand for a nice apartment for them isn't too bad.
Off-topic, but can I compliment you/GitLab on a truly useful cookie notification popup? For me, that meets the spirit of the GDPR!
Is Apple terribly evil? IMHO they have always had a strong focus on privacy, even in China, and haven't exactly resorted to 'evil' tactics.

Microsoft is putting out compelling products and has the #2 cloud platform and fastest growing cloud platform. They have lots of developer momentum with VS Code, Typescript, .NET Core, etc. Their recent acquisitions make sense, mostly, unlike some of their rivals.

I don't like either Amazon or Microsoft, but from a business angle they are both impressive. They are both at risk of going off the rails at any point, but I have much more respect for Bezos and Nadella than anyone at Facebook, Google, or Apple.

You say 5% raise excepting taxes. Friendly reminder Washington state has no state income tax, as this impacts consideration of Seattle income vs Bay Area.
They could look to what companies like Apple do? i.e. not develop products that compromise human rights for profit?
San Luis Obispo is a good case. Really expensive. None of the graduates can really live here. Also, very gentrified. The mayor recently said that she didn't want to be mayor of a town that's all old white people. Not sure how that's not incredibly racist-- but you get the point.
In my opinion, LG was first with the V10. It was just advertised differently, as a 'second screen' rather than a notch.
Probably a good idea to get the permissions correct up front.

Haha, whaaaaat!?

The V20 second screen seemed a much better idea though. No need for the main screen to be on, but have a tiny second screen that can remain on for notifications, music player and such.

Even placing it at top right seemed more sensible than splitting in 2. Can't comment on the reality or in day to day use as I never encountered a v20. They were never released here.
It is absolutely happening in enterprise software. I have met sales guys and startup advisors that prided themselves in being able to play that game well. In a certain segment of this industry, you get laughed at if you try to actually come up with a solution.

I read it as saying "Because there is no state tax in Washington, it is a de facto 5% raise, all other things being equal."
This should not be a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. Tech companies have conducted a sustained campaign to water down the notion of ownership to the point where it is meaningless and it’s impossible to truly own a digital good. You don’t own “your” software, you license it and that license can be revoked. You don’t own “your” Netflix account, your access to it is at Netflix’s pleasure. Most of you don’t even own “your” Email address, you are one account suspension away from losing it. Even self-hosters are dependent on the mercy of their domain name registrar ultimately.

I don’t know what the solution is. The free market obviously has no incentive to fix this. Users won’t vote with their wallet until they get burned and then it’s too late.
Especially with Apple's current $29 for all recent models. Take an iPhone SE, 2016 price $400, now sells around... $100 on eBay, so that's let's say a rough $150 for an ok phone with a fresh battery. It will probably last another, what, year or two? You can browse the web with it, and install apps. I use one every day and let me tell you: it's fine. It works, it's not frustrating.

Are these new phones really $1000/$150 ≈ 6 times better?

If you're a VC or early Google employee: sure, by all means. But $1000 for a phone when $150 will do; I find it hard to stomach.
I feel you haven't read the comment I responded to.
I host my Jekyll blog (zeph.co) on Netlify and can confirm that you can do this.

Netlify connects to GitHub and rebuilds your site automatically when a change is made in the master branch. There's no technical setup – you just connect to your GitHub account with their UI.

I used to use GitHub Pages to host my blog, but Netlify provides more features and it's also free.
I dunno, sounds slightly circular, prone to the "If you did it you must have felt like doing it" kind of response.

Yes. If you pay any attention to how users actually behave, this scenario is very obvious -- not just obvious, but observed, regularly.

"You're not doing it right" is not an excuse -- in any measure -- in a scenario such as this.

People forward emails. All the time. That often includes stuff they didn't intend to. Much less links they have no idea will provide the recipient access to their account.

"I'd better let Steve know. He never checks his schedule until the last moment, if then."

At one point, I had to check BigCo's email flows and behaviors. I sure as heck checked for things like this.

P.S. I guess I'll mention that one time, I caught a Google Docs non-email-related "lingering access" vulnerability. Google was going to close it as a non-issue or won't fix, until I pointed out its impact on their government Docs deployments and that I knew who to talk to on the government side. Then, it got fixed.

I hope we're not going further down the "some people matter more than others" hole. We already have help triage by social media prominence.

In that vein, maybe all that's left is to zero-day them (BigTechCo, in general), until they pro-actively improve their internal processes as well as external responsiveness.
The hard part is that nominally Apple is the most valuable, because it has the highest market value, but of course that doesn't take into consideration inflation. I think the general consensus is that the Dutch East India Company (VOC) was the most valuable.

State education rankings are riddled with methodological flaws
Is the problem to be solved actually "tech addiction" or is it really "feeling like time was spent in a way that was unsatisfying or even self-destructive?" In other words, the market opportunity isn't really "tech that curbs tech usage," it's more "helping me to feel like doing something restorative, meaningful, or rewarding, whether it's tech-based or not." Addiction itself rarely is treated simply by removing the substance: there's psychological reasons why a person is attracted to checking out versus being present or mindful. Treating the cause is quite a different proposition.
Spot on.. expecting the latest open source software to be perfect is not reasonable..

> I want statements of basic fact.

Journalists inserting their own non-expert views in articles doesn't generally sound like a great idea to me. And it's something they're trained to not do.

> Any technology for blocking OLED would be a completely different thing from what they used to make these glasses.

Yes, that's the kind of statement that they could get from an expert. But it's not clear to me that it improves the article more than marginally, not to a level that justifies the work time and publishing delay needed to get the statement.

Does it help the person who might buy these glasses? Will it be exciting to the kind of person who reads gee-whiz articles about tech? Does it enhance the enjoyment of the reader who likes the cultural and artistic aspects? No, no, and no. It also doesn't help people who already understand polarized light; to them it is, as you say, a basic fact.

That kind of thing might be appropriate if this were an article about somebody trying to build a serious business whose long-term survival depended on them blocking all screens. And if this were some place like the WSJ, that was actually trying to do serious business reporting. But since this is a 700-word light piece on a cute novelty, an object meant to provoke discussion, I'm not seeing the point.
I assume so as well. OP seemed incredulous of the relative $ amount between Bay Area BigCo and Seattle BigCo and that they lacked parity. I don’t have any context for the startup and its pay scale, but figured the clarity may help.

E: on a third reading, OP may have meant 5% raise in addition to dollars gained due to tax differences.
Great article. This problem goes far beyond PSN though. The sheer amount of account recovery processes companies offer that are poorly designed is astounding.

In particular, SMS has been a notoriously strong attack vector for _years_, and companies played catch-up very slowly. Maybe it's still offered because phones in the developing world don't have much space for Google Authenticator or something, but that's a stretch.
Consider how bad Pixel's quality control is, I won't buy a Pixel 3 at least in a year.
About half (the expensive ones) of those listed are suburbs or exurbs of major cities, not really what the article is talking about, and they are all pretty large.

It’s probably fair to say that university towns see prices go up relative to their surrounding towns, but fundamentally almost any piece of real estate in rural Kansas is cheaper than coastal California.
Among all the middle sized cities you could choose, you included Berkeley? One of the most expensive cities in the whole US. Since Berkeley is a college town, most people (i.e. students) are ok living in very, very shitty conditions. When I lived in Berkeley as a student my rent was something like $700 plus utilities and I was sharing a tiny house with 5 other people and my room was a triple. Living comfortably (i.e. single with acceptable personal space) costs you >$1300. I'm living in Boston currently and my rent is $900 for a large single. Am I crazy to guess that Berkeley housing market is even more expensive than Boston? There are definitely better places to live in US than Berkeley, ime most people who live there are either students or engineers working in the Valley making 6 figures. So imho GP comment can still be right if you exclude edge cases.
Log cabins are perfectly legal as residences in many areas provided they're up to code. Drive around any ski area and see. You can even buy them in kit form.

Hardly anyone wants to live in rural areas where land is cheap because there are no good jobs or services nearby. In desirable areas, land acquisition costs are far higher than construction costs. Regulation has little to do with it, although in some areas zoning laws that limit density are a factor.
Applying machine intelligence to GitHub security alerts
Right, except that's not what's happening in reality no matter how you model it. Having your code mimic the actual pathway of execution rather than the overhead of simulating parallelism is more efficient.

Typically multithreading adds way more complexity and a whole new class of bugs to the code.
Hah. Odd comment since I specifically explained how I don’t use Facebook, but thanks for the recommendation! I’ve found reddit’s /r/vegan to be good. They have a regular discussion post and I’ve had some nice conversations there.

Can somebody hunt down one of those motherboards maybe on eBay or in their own data centers and track down this malicious device? Putting together a test circuit that throws the BMC firmware down it and see if anything different comes out the other end should be a simple enough task.
The system is configured to run apps in a sandbox though - that's completely true. It's the app's part that declares: it needs full access to your home directory to work. If that wasn't possible, we'd get people complaining about apps not working as expected instead. The balance may not be currently on the right side, but they don't lie about what's provided.

It's like standard Linux permissions. If you install an app which creates its directories with mode 0777, or install a package which has a suid binary, you don't complain that Linux offers no file access control. That's the author's or packager's fault.

I’ve lived in two “college towns,” one with 2 small liberal arts colleges an a community college; and the other with an R1 university, a small liberal arts college, and a community college. All of the liberal arts colleges are private and expensive. Both towns were and are shitholes. The only source of culture, and the main source of jobs in both cases was the schools. That doesn’t work well for people past college age.

Granted, this is merely anecdata, but I think it’s at least enough to challenge you to present actual data.
Is it really a good example though? You cannot just compare a group of 70 people to a country with millions of people.
EKS pods use the VPC networking layer so I think they meet the criteria. They use secondary IPs attached to instances rather than virtual IPs. I’ve been able to route to them from non-EKS instances in the same VPC.
This is an old article. You probably meant to post this one: https://www.wsj.com/articles/softbank-discusses-taking-major...
In the context of a larger liberal society, where they generally can't use coercion to enforce their rules, they have to make rules people will want to go along with. Change that, and you have every government in history we've seen try to run a collective economy. Not communes, but collective farms and dissenting kulaks getting shipped off to the hinterlands, or city residents being marched out to the farms.

(I'm aware than anarchists claim it's totally possible to democratically run a collective economy and have it work at least as well as a liberal capitalist society. The first has never happened, much less the second.)

The decoupling of the force of law from economic and social arrangements as much as possible is the libertarian argument, here. Having this sort of arrangement at the government level gives you oppression and starvation, while having it at the voluntary level gets you happy, self-selected communes where people brag about growing their own food.

(Having grown up in the country, the idea of growing and cooking one's own food and thus not having to pay retail is less mind-bogglingly amazing for me than it might be for other HN posters.)
But it terrifies me that you say it like it's nothing and like this digital "purchasing" thing is something new (I am not disagreeing, on the contrary.)

I have avoided and have never bought anything digital for those reasons, but it really is depressing that these things have not been solved by now.
The mayor recently said that she didn't want to be mayor of a town that's all old white people. Not sure how that's not incredibly racist

You said you don't threaten a legal response until after months of failing to get resolution. I'm pretty sure that's what's being suggested here too. Don't open with the legal threats, as they can shut down what may have been a much faster and easier customer service resolution.

I was curious about that as well. With the project name Penrose there was a suspicion (more like a wish) that maybe this was to be prototype work for an interactive digital rendering of the Roger Penrose Road to Reality physics tome but a quick poke-around of project members bios turned up no personal linkage to Penrose. Just happened to listen to Penrose at Princeton when he promoting that book about 15 years ago.

Tell that to Vietnam and Afghanistan. Historically the US does well against standing armies (Iraq for example), but absolutely terribly against low-tech enemies who don't engage in a way that allows these super high tech weapons to be used effectively.
