The issue with that plan is that, with iOS 12 being released, lots of developers are going to start dropping support for iOS 10.
I've had similar conversations with people about headphones. My theory is that there are alot of fakes in the channel.

Barring subjective things like sound quality that I'm really not comfortable weighing in on, I just haven't found the Bose products to be fundamentally flawed in terms of build quality or noise cancellation.

It may vary based on your office -- I don't have some crazy person simulating machine guns on a mechanical keyboard 3 feet away or a super loud, pure open office space with warehouse ceilings either.
All of those images scaling for no reason gives me a bit of motion sickness.
Snapdragon 845 with 4GB of RAM? This is essentially a Pixel 2 XL with a notch. 4GB of ram is going to be atrocious right out of the box, and good luck in a year or two.

I live in Atlanta. People cancel their plans in Atlanta because they don't want to sit in traffic. (Or at least that's what they say - it's a good all-purpose excuse.) From what I know of LA it's probably the same way there.

Next question: why do Atlanta and Los Angeles have such horrible traffic?
Other view on this: if you have a job as a SWE at Google, you might have had to relocate to a different country where you are not super well integrated (for example, only basic knowledge of the official language). Leaving your job might make you lose your visa, having to relocate and lose a large part of your social circle. Make that even more fun if you have a partner or kids or whatever.

Of course it's usually going to be somewhere in the middle. But not everyone lives in the Bay Area where you can hop between jobs and change employer every week.
> What differentiates google for me is the SERVICES they offer: gmail, maps, search, photos, voice search, voice transcription, google voice.

If you own almost any Android phone, you have all these services. Heck, if you own an iPhone you can still get all these services (just not as defaults).
For 2D games it's much more convenient to pixel push directly than to deal with vertex buffers, index buffers, shaders... Unfortunately graphics cards are not optimized for that scenario.
What value is AI assisted drone strikes going to provide? If another country, China, Russia, etc sent drones for targeted drone strikes, we could send ours over with untargeted drone strikes that also cause collateral damage. This is also considered offensive technology, not defensive technology.

I think the potential negatives with this technology outweigh the positives.
After 5x bootloop I also quit Google hardware. Bought a cheaper phone that I won't feel bad about replacing at 18 months if it happens.

Yeah, can’t really see that being politically viable.
(1) Professional help for addiction tends to be very expensive; in contrast, even buying a "specialty" smartphone to replace one's existing smartphone would cost much less.

(2) Even those who can easily afford the best professional help, e.g., Ben Affleck, end up having to go back into an in-patient addiction treatment center multiple times (3 times so far for Affleck, the first time's being in 2001), which casts doubt on the effectiveness of professional help.

(3) Some people need to advance in their career before they can afford professional help, but addiction makes it harder for a person to make progress in life. An affordable tech solution or partial-solution to addiction can help break this vicious cycle.
So much praising so little talk about its limits. I consider myself to be kinda stick in a Rails way of thinking. But most projects I touch heavily depend on a backend, database, or raw computing power.

Everything that doesn't fall in those categories is something I create static (ex nanoc.) i just build out locally push to my git and let a post-commit hook do the Copy pasta. My static Web server runs without attention for 5 plus years now.

I see it makes stuff easier, but i fail to see why it would be so much better than any other git deployment method.
Gmail already does this with image attachments. I discovered this by accident not long ago: I searched my inbox for a person's name, and one of the results was a message containing a photo of a sheet of paper with their name on it.

For what its worth, when I read the parent comment, I did not at all get the impression that it was "spreading the myth that Haskell is an academic language."
I should have added that I don't enjoy fill-in-the-blanks kind of jobs.

I agree with the sibling comment of 'dcow'.

I will add a) innovation is a slow process and b) that a lot of projects take the _fast path_ of "fill-in-the-blanks" tools instead of thinking about a good solution.

To avoid speaking in vaccum, I will only cite 'Ansible' which is a tiny improvement over the previous hype. Obviously, if you consider the whole 'Ansible + Galaxy' there is value but still the wrong solution. All arguments I've seen for Ansible seem wrong to me.

AFAICT that time would have been better spent in functional devops approaches. My favorite being 'guix'. Also, I understand that Ansible galaxy was built by thousands of man hours by hundreds of contributors where a functional approach will require prolly more time and more focused effort.

I’m in an 80s house right now. It’s pretty desirable. Doubly so because the neighborhood trees have matured nicely. The 60s bungalows nearby are getting torn down though - but mostly due to their small size.

> but if you don't have one then you don't even have a chance of making enough savings to afford housing, healthcare, education for your children, et cetera.

Where does this idea come from?

According to the OECD, only 48% of American adults have a post-secondary education. I find it hard to believe that 52% of Americans truly cannot afford housing, healthcare, education for children, etc. I might even bet that the 52% have an easier time (especially with shelter), as there seems to be a correlation between the desire to live in an expensive city and having post-secondary attainment.

Additionally, wages are stagnant. The rapid rise in post-secondary attainment mentioned by the parent has done nothing to increase incomes among the workforce. The article points out that incomes have been on the decline for those without a post-secondary education. But misses the obvious: As colleges select for the most successful people, the most successful people without a degree who brought up the average in previous years now belong to the college group.

People can't set their expectations lower, but they can set them higher by not falling prey to misleading interpretations of the data surrounding college. The data is abundantly clear that there has been no advantage in the significant rise in post-secondary attainment. If anything, people are worse off now because of it.
HBO's "Too Big to Fail" has that moment with Paulson – and a lot of great actors in it. Really captures the trauma of that period.

Fair point – I was recalling the time after the 'crisis' and what we'd now call the bottom / beginning of the recovery. Probably early 2009.

If it is well known... can't imagine others wouldn't follow if it works.

There's two pieces- you replace the stimulus, but you also have to break the old habit/reflex.

When traveling, thus far I've skipped getting local service. At least where we've been, WiFi is scarce, and as a result the phone remains a valuable planning tool but becomes useless as a dopamine drip.

It's more like how I imagine a pocket computer "should" be- you can find WiFi & make a video call back home, you can look up information about the town, you can store maps and boarding passes, play music, snap reference photos of signboards, check in with your bank, etc. But 98% of the time it's slumbering in a corner of your luggage (and getting great battery life)

FWIW, this ultimately led me to a relatively low-data plan at home, 500MB/mo, both to save money as well as to slow the drip.
Note that BMCs can also piggyback on ethernet ports; I've seen some vendors use a shared ethernet port for OOB and ethernet.

Which is fun because you can accidentally put a super important insecure oob service on the same jack as an internet exposed web service.
if consumers had to pay full freight on their dies prices
would be several times higher than they are.

This is doubtful, Intel's margins are amazing as they're fully integrated vertical monopoly. They make the wafers, own the fabs, cut their own masks, etc. Very literally sand comes in one end, and chips come out the other.

The fundamental processes of producing an equal die space SoC as a Xeon on the same (node) is likely roughly equal cost (or I imagine the fabs as a service would go out of business). So saying Intel -needs- the consumer market to subsidize their server line is a total lie.

Intel puts an extreme markup on their server class processors, and a milder mark up on the consumer segment
SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?
This could change soon.
This evidence does nothing to support the original chip story. An ethernet implant is completely separate and does not affect the originally reported companies.
If you know that something is compromised, you can use that knowledge to feed misinformation. You don't want them to know that you know.

I don't download a ton of apps these days, but this could be an issue. Especially if it's a client/server thing and the server side is updated to not support the older clients.

I have not done a jailbreak in years, but I wonder if they have a 32bit compatibility package now? That would make it worth the hassle. Plus, jailbreaks are much less of a headache once your phone is out of support.

Thanks. Wikipedia [1] says you’re right, and also offers me a small condolence that my misconception is fairly common: “Ambergris is usually passed in the fecal matter. It is speculated that an ambergris mass too large to be passed through the intestines is expelled via the mouth, leading to the reputation of ambergris as primarily coming from whale vomit.”

such an annoying title. Bose is not synonymous with noise cancelation. Noise cancelation is a technology independent of a brand
If that's what you're looking for in a new phone you'll have to stick with it forever.
It's a summary of the above poster and why they said it. It answers the question of why the post was written. I don't have any stake in this.
Those services being tied RIGHT INTO the OS is a huge advantage. Thats arguably what the SHELL is. My interface between me and (facebook | microsoft | google | apple | amazon) services. Using iOS as a google app launcher is a complete waste of integration and usability potential.

Take for example JUST google photos. When I say service, I mean a best in class experience across my phone, my kitchen screen-speaker, laptop, desktop, and living room tv. Google photos does not live up to its full potential from a phone alone.

A service gives me consistent access to the same data, from a variety of interfaces. Each interface is tailored to use cases for that device type. Desktop interfaces are going to be more powerful than tablet, tv, or kitchen screen-speaker.

It's the same reason I prefer Facebook Messenger to text messaging. Works great from any device I sign into.

A lot of the authentication is TLS client certificate authentication, SAML hosted by internal SAML IdP systems (such as ADFS) for web stuff.

For most other things Kerberos (via PKINIT) is used.

SSH authentication X.509 using PKIXSSH is rarely used since it is not a standard part of any operating systems used. For SSH, typically either Kerberos or SSH keys based on the RSA keys used by the certificates.
> Last time I checked, the US was among the most expensive countries regarding health care. But I don't have a source at the moment.

Yes, but that's comparing listed prices and not adjusted for purchasing parity. They will substantially reduce the price if you're not insured and ask them.

> And again, all legal residents are eligible for health care in EU countries. A good thing if you ask me.

I tend to agree, but that's not my point. I'm just saying that a clinic will bill you (indirectly) roughly the same as they'd in the US after you get it adjusted, but of course it's fully covered for most people here.
If I'm a startup and I am looking at two equally situated candidates, and one has Google experience and one does not, then I'm going to hire the one without Google experience every time based on culture fit alone.
I don't have the reference handy but someone claimed to be a source and they pointed to a generic item on digikey / mouser as an example. I imagine that it got extrapolated by Bloomberg into that.

They really have no idea what they are talking about at this time and it's probably fluff.
> Test reports we reviewed make it clear that simply having cybersecurity controls does not mean a system is secure. How the controls are implemented can significantly affect cybersecurity. For example, one test report we reviewed indicated that the system had implemented rolebased access control, but internal system communications were unencrypted. Because the system’s internal communications were unencrypted, a regular user could read an administrator’s username and password and use those credentials to gain greater access to the system and the ability to affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the system.

"Do you want to play a game?"

This is some scary bad WarGames like security, password 'joshua' level.

> Program offices were aware of some of the weapon system vulnerabilities that test teams exploited because they had been identified in previous cybersecurity assessments. For example, one test report indicated that only 1 of 20 cyber vulnerabilities identified in a previous assessment had been corrected. The test team exploited the same vulnerabilities to gain control of the system. When asked why vulnerabilities had not been addressed, program officials said they had identified a solution, but for some reason it had not been implemented. They attributed it to contractor error.

Ah, the old blame the 'contractor error' and 'not invented here' syndrome. Looks like engineers aren't in the power structure to change these things, scary if the military is driven like an MBA only led business with no influence from engineering/security.
Sounds a bit like a traditional family. One man making a fair bit of money. One woman handling domestic work, including producing some food and buying the rest. When you have kids they help as they get older. All the money is pooled. Eventually the man retires.
So you can't imagine a world in which our understanding of pi or e might impact or be useful to the real world?

More broadly, you can surely imagine how the study of transcendent numbers might inform results in other fields? I don't usually try to justify math by pointing at its applications, but for example, the transcendence of pi leads to a proof that squaring the circle is impossible. Even if things aren't constructable, they can still be valuable to think about.

It's funny that people are trying to hard to advance tech in active noise cancelling. The real secret is in the materials -- I don't know how but my favorite passive headphones knock out ambient noise better than most of the active cans (Bose or other) I've demoed at tech stores. Plus, they cost less and reproduce music more accurately (which may or may not be to everyone's liking)
Second stage music of Bombjack is clearly a rendition of Lady Madonna by The Beatles.
I'm confused about pricing. The main page doesn't mention any limitations, but I stumbled across https://octobox.io/pricing which implies $100/month for use with private repos.
very famous investor once said, unless your startup has one of "Seven deadly sins"; its hard to be sticky (or successful). So if one is planning around tech addiction, make it about, pride & envy not about how its good for your life overall....
>Retaining control means knowing when to say no to taking on more than you actually need.

Isn't the lesson the opposite though? When easy funding is available, take on more funding than you need and then don't spend it, so that you have plenty of reserve when things get tight.
You also didn't seem to do any of the effort to publish the paper or follow up with it. Of course your adviser should be the corresponding author. They actually care about the paper and getting response to it.
> "Paul Romer says he really hadn’t planned to trash macroeconomics as a math-obsessed pseudoscience."

If I understand his critique correctly, it's that macroeconomics has used mathematical rigor and internal consistency to mask the common-sense observation that the models' actual connections to the real world phenomena they seek to simulate have almost completely eroded away.

I, for one, can think of a couple of reasons that vein of criticism might not be the sort of argument HN is primed to embrace.

Communist China is ruled by a genocidal mafia with a well-known penchant for sudden outbursts of violence.

We haven't discovered memos like this from Microsoft either, but we know Microsoft works with governments. AT&T installed backdoors for governments, and no memo was leaked.

Google is a much more leaky organization, with vocal employees, and not very good at internal compartmentalization, and that's why you know about these things. We used to consider a bug if an employee can't 'see everything' everyone else is working on.

Is lack of whistle blowers elsewhere a sign that there's no whistles to blow, or a sign that oppressive security and compartmentalized security at other firms makes it hard for the public to find out?

My point is, transparency is good, and that more secrecy doesn't buy you trust. That's why people value open source and used to pretty much rail against closed source HW on HN. Now we seem to be an in era where closed source and locked down DRM app stores that block side loading are accepted.
Ask HN: How do you avoid tech addiction yet still stay up to date?
After just now reading an article about tech addiction, I thought I'd pose the question (which I consider so often) to HN to find out what you're doing. It's often helpful for me to do a fast from certain sites or technologies but that can hamper my ability to keep up with the latest things in my field (especially JavaScript tools/frameworks). What methods do you use to strike a healthy balance between learning and time wasting?
Not only would they have to force the engineers to tell nothing, they'd have to force all capable engineers to vehemently deny it to their bosses who ask or ask them to look again.
Google did all those things.

$800 for the cheapest model (64G 5.5").
If I weren't trying to move away from Google right now, I'd be interested. But this is not priced to be an impulse purchase.

Its specs are approximately equivalent to the Samsung S8 -- similar screen (5.5" vs Samsung 5.8"), same IP68 water resistance, edge, Bluetooth 5. But there the similarities end.

S8 and S8+ and later models still have memory expansion. I have a 128gb card in my 64gb S8+, for example, for a total of 172gb. S8, S8+, and the S9 series also have retained a headphone jack. I seem to recall Google making fun of Apple for eliminating theirs, and now they have followed suit.

In my opinion, Google should just designate a best of breed phone, e.g. the Samsung, as its flagship Android, and stop trying to market a "pure Android experience". They've never been very successful with hardware -- maybe the Chromecast was a hit, but their Nexus phones (of which I bought four) have been mediocre.
I think it would be in society's interest to know the credibility of someone repairing and selling 2 tons of metal that will go out on the road and pose considerable risk to others' and the driver's lives on the road. See the limo crash that just killed 18 in New York state.

There might be situations where corrupt government is inhibiting competition for the gain of particular parties, but some things do make sense, such as being bonded when the risk of the work you are performing could be result in large costs.
If Google sunsets Google Photos, they absolutely will provide a way to export them first.
I think this could also relate to the wood from the trees surrounding an infected tree. These can often also be cut down as a kind of quarantine, and are likely to have good quality wood.
