Hey HN. An update on this. It turns out, iBorderCtrl are using microexpressions, which is to say, Eckman's work. This is from the Commission's website, the link posted here by another user:

The unique approach to ‘deception detection’ analyses the micro-expressions of travellers to figure out if the interviewee is lying.

Luckily drones still have significant limitations on achievable flight time. Some of which are dictated by the laws of physics. So for the foreseeable future there won’t be any bird sized drones chasing you down. Military drones on the other hand are much larger and expensive.
When Chinese leaders start talking about not being reliant on Western technology, rightly or wrongly, I immediately start thinking about their previous industrial espionage campaigns to remove the reliance on Western aerospace technology. [1]

I'd be a lot more relaxed about these sorts of announcements if the Chinese government took steps to curb Red Army cyber-attacks.

Many analysts thought higher average selling prices were possible because of demand inelasticity at the forerunner iPhone.

Service revenues would get boosted by lower prices if units sold increase.

Cook is doing a fine balance of prices, sales, services. Very successful so far. Yet I'm afraid the only way is down from here.

Yes but you were not expected to travel.

Most people were merely moving from house to house, sometime town to town. It was not frequent, and everybody knew it would take time so there was not that much time pressure.

Today, a lot of people are expected to be able to travel hundreds of miles, regularly, in short period of times, with not that much rest between those times, and be on schedule. Schedule that is precise to a few hours.

Appart from nomads and a few merchants (again traveling a way slower pace, frequency and lower expectations), most people just stayed put.

Author here.

> First of all, what is load time?
Load time is when server is generating HTML for request. I should have been more precise.

> Most server side templating engines are compiled, rarely string concatenated and even if that was true, how is that different on the client side? If JavaScript code dynamically creates HTML markup then it also (at some level) stitches string together or does it not

Templating languages generate string that is returned through an endpoint. Just because it is string interpolation doesn't mean it cannot have loops.

Also, by using the phrase "string interpolation" I am actually pointing out the discrepancy between the generator and the generated.

> Huge news announcements! The client side code has to "PICK UP" the response which the server sends to the client! OMG!!! Thank god in a SPA the client code doesn't have to "pick up" server side generated objects, right? (NOT)

It is not response, you have to give unique id's or smart class names and then find those elements using document.getElementById and attach to it. Having a SPA helps reduce the number of named things.

> OMFG. client-server communication is not a paradigm for static documents. PDF is static documents.

It's not a paradigm, but client asking server for a response is more suited for documents when you are returning HTML.
> Hilarious that they consider the job done after covering the Bay area.

Money, and not $2 million settlement fine after spending $20mm on lawyers for 4 years. Take EVERYTHING from them, clawback. And fine companies 10-20% of their REVENUE.

Announce rev share with any whistle-blower, just give proof to DOJ and get 25% of the fine.
The use of stagnant is correct, as for negative the share price affect is immediate as it includes an expected growth.
Yet services would be better if units sold gets increased. So cheaper models are a must. So it's so far an excellent strategy milking the high end keeping the units sold not fall.

steady, level, imply the same thing but as a positive. I think it's just a matter of perspective whether Apple needs to grow its iPhone sales.

That said they must surely decline, the number of people who are going to continue to drop 1k+ on the new iPhone every few years is going to be limited by the resale value of last years phone, a market which (anecodtally) appears is droping precipitously.

> At that point, how much value is there in supporting Unicode? By only using ascii (punycode), it pretty much eliminates the reason it exists: To allow software to show a domain in someone’s native language.

Allowing a user to enter a domain in their native language is very much worthwhile, I'd say, even if we revert to ascii for display.
You write that it can only goes down, but at the same time you hint that a lower priced devices would boost service revenues.

> If JavaScript code dynamically creates HTML markup then it also (at some level) stitches string together or does it not?

well most spa's building the dom directly, so actually it is really a little bit different.

but yeah, I would prefer c# razor pages over any spa and I actually coded a lot with angular.
however I wouldn't say that I will never touch spa stuff, but I wouldn't go full spa anymore, more like add widgets with vuejs and reactjs where it matters.
I think that's a rather naive understanding of war. Look at Vietnam, look at Afghanistan. The USA still have by far the most powerful military in the world but that doesn't mean that you can just say "btw you're all your slaves now" and everybody is just going to accept it.

Maintaining a strong, authoritarian grasp on the entire world would require technology that (fortunately) did not exist during WWII and probably still not today. You'd just have civil wars, coups and terrorist attacks every other day. Your military would be spread thin across the globe. You'd basically have hundreds of countries in continuous state of insurrection like Afghanistan right now. It would cost the USA a fortune (and not just economically).

Giving these countries money in order to stabilize them and maintain "soft" influence makes a lot more sense in many cases.

So I guess the data is now being shared across the border between security services and rightly so. The data and the story now have significantly more value to those services that bill the tax payer, and those that sell your attention using fear antagonising news media.

Services might be better, but I suspect that budget conscious consumers would also spend less on services, compared to customers willing to spend $1200 on an iPhone XS. I imagine their FP&A team has done pretty thorough analysis that the extra sales from fewer products at higher margins will offset the incremental increase in revenue from more (potentially lower value) services subscribers.
In our country where I am based on, the salary is pretty much less. Also, the living standard is also low.

Also, probability of going into seriously heated argument is constant for each sale, and is a factor of a buyer (of a shop too, but we're only looking at one shop, so it's a constant). So, if this already has not hapenned enough times for a customer to become a regular, we can conclude that there's very low probability of this happening ever - i.e. people who become regulars do it because they're satisfied with the service, and it will probably stay that way.

Apple’s P/E of 20.13 does not suggest people expect significant growth. Inflation + 5% returns is a reasonable investment even without increased unit sales.
At the same time there's sites like flüge.de which is not reachable under any domain except the unicode domain, and while ü could be written as ue, fluege.de is already owned by a competitor.

Over time, punycode is going to cause more phishing problems in non-ascii countries than it's going to solve, because users aren't going to see a difference between xn-blabla.de and xn-blablu.de if all domains are unreadable to them.

OK, mine is the result of running this pseudocode:

# Label all streets as much as possible
for (each street on screen):
while (that street has room for a label): # (even if already labeled)
put a label on that street # i.e. an additional one

yours is:

# Try to label unlabeled streets
for (each street on screen)
if (no label on screen for that street): # if unlabeled
if (street has room for a label): # ...can we fix?
put a label on that street # ...then fix

(I would usually write this with an && rather than nested if's but I know mobile makes you scroll sideways)

As a followup, could you please define "street has room for a label"? When do you consider that a street has room for a label?
The hackers getting paid to keep the internet safe
It's a perfectly valid rhetorical device. It's called "litotes", and it often conveys a distinct meaning compared to "collapsing" the negatives into a single positive. It's been used liberally by figures such as Homer, Jonathan Swift, Robert Frost, Fredrick Douglass and Shakespeare (as well as pretty much every great writer throughout history).

For instance, saying "it's not without issues" usually means something different from "it has issues". In the former case, you probably intending a meaning something similar to "it's has issues, but none of them are serious", while the latter conveys just what it says. The exact thing your trying to communicate obviously varies with context, but it is generally distinct from the "collapsed case"

In this particular case, "Not depressing news" puts an emphasis on the fact that most news is depressing, and that this site is different. "Uplifting news" does not communicate that as effectively.

Now, it's true that George Orwell complained about a similar construction in Politics and the English Language, but that book is full of terrible ideas about language, and you're doing yourself a disservice if you take any of his advice too seriously.
Apple takes a 30% commission on any revenue passing through the store, and 15% on subscriptions.

These fees are exorbitant - they are merely ringing a credit card, transmitting a few megabytes of data, and performing a basic examination of the app itself. The oligopolistic position that they hold is their main point of value.
Buy a Zoom G3x (or other good multi effects box with amps Sims) you can then chuck that straight into any semi decent guitar amp.
Although I don't have experience with Vue and Rails specifically, I've always found it beneficial to have the front & backend separate. It's really nice have the backend API completely decoupled from eachother.

It also depends on what your goals are - for a personal project, do what you like! Whatever is quickest & easiest is best.

For more public-facing services, I prefer to have the decoupled structure.
> It's obviously an intentional choice to avoid too much screen clutter...

I’m not sure. It seems the maps are much less usable for visual delivery of information. I can barely see the streets because of the contrast choices, the 3D buildings obscure the streets, and the streets are always missing their names. The new Apple and Google designs push us to enter a destination where in the past all I would have needed was a quick glance.

Knowing and tracking where we are going is valuable information to the map providers; helping us get there without finding out where we want to go really isn’t.
Not really, no.

> Modern websites can prefetch all possible links on the current page you're seeing.

I'm not sure I actually want that to happen.

> Then when you click on any link will render that page instantly. Check out some Gatsby blog generator, it's so fast.

Most of the time I visit a single page on any given blog, usually found via Google. If I have to load any JS at all the chances are I've downloaded more code than I needed. If the content requires downloading a framework before viewing the content then it just adds to the frustration.

It's totally possible to serve HTML, some styles, and some feature-enhancing javscript /fast enough/, and my experience of the evolution of Javascript on web pages over the last 18 years has led to the opinion that Javascript has steadily made my experience of the web slower, more CPU intensive (my CPU fans being spun up by someone's attempt at improving the UI of a web page isn't appreciated), less reliable, less predictable and in general, worse.

There is the very real possibility that if you write and release a Javascript based web page then I will enjoy it less than if it was something "simpler".

> I think you are suggesting that earth can carry many more people than 10B. I’d like to understand how you think that is possible.

Because I have not seen anyone argue for the limits in convincing ways, it's all FUD from my PoV.

Intuitively - energy is not (very big) problem, we can make dense nuclear sources, solar & offshore wind is viable in many places, and gas peaker plants / limited enetgy storage should cover the rest.

Hydroponics and similar advanced agricultural methods are showing nice gains in effectivity of produce per sq km, at the cost of (IIRC) energy (see above). EVs are finally starting to be viable. Etc. Etc.

And that's before we get to really long-term solutions like colonizing space.

Where are the real limits?

> Furthermore, even at the current population size human activity is causing potentially irreversible climate change ...

Yeah, we are making a lot of externalities. This is not impossible to solve, see above.

Extrapolating from our past failures is extremely shortsighted and has been proven wrong numerous times, see e.g. WW3 and end-of-humanity scare in 50's/60's. We can learn from our mistakes, and we seem to actually do that a lot! Spreading hysteria is not helping I think.

Of course not. Nobody is saying that revenue is stagnant. Only iPhone sales are. It seems correct to me.
Stagnant carries a connotation of some dark, oxygen-deprived mire that suffocates fish and smells horrible. It invokes images of death and decay. Not exactly the idea I had in mind when I hear of the sales numbers.
