Apple heavily discounts the top case replacement if the reason for replacing it is the battery, so the actual cost is between $130-200 [1]. I'm not sure what they do if your top case has other damage as well - if you break something in the top case, but also need a new battery, can you get a new case for the battery price?

That sounds completely delusional I'm afraid. The article(s) were summaries of an internal post-mortem written by one of Oracle's competitors - the exact opposite of Oracle PR. And how exactly is some random professor going to debunk the conclusions of Amazon's own staff about their own infrastructure?

Your last sentence appears to be typical of the problem I'm describing.

Unless you exist in a vacuum, your agency over your own priorities is strictly limited anyway. Sure, you can choose what to work on but a large part of the time, practical considerations are gonna make it pretty damn obvious what the right thing to do is. At that point pretending it's your choice to do that one obviously correct thing is pretty specious.

If you're at one of those rare crossroads where you do have a genuine choice, your inbox is probably going to be close to zero already. I think cause and effect here are getting switched.
Are you in favor of banning selling poison to children on store shelves? Because that's exactly what this is. If cigarettes were invented today they'd never make it to market.

Each cigarette has 2000 toxins. Over 85% of smokers start at under 18. It's a life long addiction picked up by children that kills so companies can turn a profit. Not to mention the health care burden on society.

In no way or form should such a deadly substance be sold for consumption.

I dont think you understand what universal approximation means. It means there are parameter settings that would reduce the approximation as much as you want. Its an existential property. It does not mean that those parameters can be found.

Anyway this universal property of neural networks get a lot of airtime and people go gaga over it. Its a complete red herring. Its not the first example of a universal approximation and not the last. There is no scarcity of universal approximators. There was no such scarcity even 100s of years ago. The explanation of the success of DNNs lie elsewhere.

Would be fascinating if it turns out to be half as important as gut bacteria. Maybe certain human breakthroughs like the rise of civilization could one day be attributed to a bacterial infection. And then the inverse, changing diets and the brain biome might lead to their collapse.

I have been very curious on whether Rusts are active in salmon. I was not serious about zombie salmon though. One salmon is a rather small sample size regardless of the common sense reasoning around the subject at hand.
Telling pilots that when they fly a Boeing, they are always in control and have the last say has been part of Boeing's narrative against Airbus for as long as I can remember.

This might have contributed to their reluctance to talk about adding flight envelope protection features and hiding that even when pilots are "manually" flying, the flight control computers can kick in.

Seems like a reminder that "reality must take precedence over public relations".
Qualtrics is apparently huge. I got a survey from a survey company that didn't even use their own software but used Qualtrics.
They're also probably reaching market saturation of who will likely buy their devices - there's a limit at some point. It's analogous to Facebook, which isn't growing it's user base much anymore because they have already have just about everyone on the social internet outside of China with an account. At some point, there just isn't more humans in your market sector.

Wall street cares about growth, and Apple knows they're growth in device numbers is going to slow - so the way you make more money is to make your devices more expensive. They did this, and that's why their revenue and profit is still rising even though the sales numbers are not.

They don't want to report the sales numbers of iPhones anymore because they know they won't go up, so they'll just show revenue and profit instead because they're confident there's still growth there. Other manufacturers such as Samsung and Google already don't release sales numbers, it was actually outside of the norm that Apple used to share these.
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build an operating system on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Son, the strongest OS in all of England.

Ask HN: Are you building a business for a remote market?
With the Internet and its digital nomad and remote culture, it became incredibly easy to build a digital product for a remote market.

Are you building a product yourself for a market in a different country or even continent? Is it full-time or your hobby? How did you come up with the idea and market knowledge?
Do you have a source that natural gas is the largest carbon emissionss contributer? Genuinely curious, because over here in Germany gas companies (Gazprom.. ;)) market themselves as the opposite and the same argument is used for cars running on natural gas. I know that's just PR, but I thought it produces less emissions because it burns more efficiently than other fossil fuels.

Twitter Is Slow to Remove Unlawful Content: Home Ministry Chides Executives
We won't have another giant war because: the internet. i don't know about anyone else but I spent some of my childhood travelling distances. Every time I did there was a cultural identity associated with the places I went. Post internet culture has changed nearly every place I've been. Everywhere I go everyone is the same now. They are all connected. People are connected to people in other countries like never before. There is so much connectivity that any "warmongering" king/president can't nearly control the flow of information like they used to. That all being said, how do we explain things like Crimea, issues with North Korea, the middle east? Well, Crimea, I can't fully explain. But North Korea and the middle east definitely practice tight control over their internet.

That all being said, I'm not saying it's impossible, but that we're so connected now that I just don't see a great war because too many of our soldiers will have brothers, sisters, best friends in the war we're going up against.
Yes, and when you sell them in 2 years time the iPhone will be worth $300 more than the Pixel.
There is another solution: reduce demand.

If you have certain resources that are limited like parking/sewer/etc the city would say, you can’t add that building.

In the case of S.F., the housing demand is driven by employees/new businesses. In much the same way zoning would keep you from adding a new building with no place to park, the city/county should limit new business creation when there is no place for the new employees to live.
I just recently learned about ESOPs: a few weeks ago I visited Graybar's [0] website, and learned that this large electric/etc distributor has been employee-owned since the 1920's.

Louis Kelso was "the inventor and pioneer of the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP)" [1]. Kelso wrote *The Capitalist Manifesto" [2] about employee-ownership in 1958.

I think most businesses would run better if their employees were more invested in their success.

I fly out of Renton, where these aircraft are made, and the lot is overflowing. The faulty software could only be an indicator of the quality going into the newer aircraft to roll out fast enough to please the stakeholders. I hope that is not the case. It's not ok that Boeing didn't disclose the feature, but it's even more concerning that it wasn't captured during testing as a potential flaw.

Carl Jung wrote about UFOs as something of a collective hallucination, a mass psycho-spiritual phenomenon. Not in the sense that they are "unreal", but in that they tap into an extraordinary dimension of our collective awareness.

The time travel argument I've always found to be far more compelling than the extra terrestrial argument.

For example, similarity of physical form (with exaggerated evolutionary aspects relating to modern society, such as bigger eyes/brains, and diminished aspects that would be obsolete, such as weakened physical strength).

And in a universe where different systems could be billions of years different in age, the UFOs have always seemed closer to a few thousands of years off from current technology at best.

And yet there's zero evidence of even life, let alone advanced life, in our near proximity. Wouldn't it make more sense that the advanced species that's in near physical proximity to ourselves (i.e. humans) would be responsible for flying objects very similar to our own flying objects and supposedly operated by bipeds looking very similar to ourselves?

And the physical rules bring broken to enable time travel are roughly the same rules that would need to be broken for faster than light travel, so the scientific likelihood for time traveling UFOs is roughly the same as for extra-terrestrial UFOs, but the former makes a lot more sense in other regards than the latter.

China and Russia have major disinformation campaigns running in the United States and around the world. These campaigns have been heavily documented by news organizations and American defense agencies.
A major branch of Russia and China's attack is the ongoing negative PR campaign against tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon. Can these companies improve? Sure. But their infractions are incredibly minor compared to the dictatorships rising in Russia, China, Turkey, etc that are murdering foreign citizens as well as large numbers of their own. They are stealing billions of dollars from their own citizens and taking the world down a terrifying path.

Please reconsider the easy targets of tech companies and have the courage to face true evil in these dictatorships
Even if you're absolutely right that Internet access changed everything, all it would take for a Great War would be if there was a major world military power that tightly controls its Internet, and that's China.

I am living in a country where there is no respect for traffic rules. I too used to rage but I have stopped.

The realization came when I realized I am helpless and cannot change anything. What I can really do is learn to cope with the madness. This realization helped me a lot to lead a stress free life. I stopped convincing people or caring about them if they are difficult. In life the first priority is myself and then everybody else. Taking care of oneself really breaks your stress away.

> I can not find there a single hint that anything is encrypted, and I would have been very surprised if I had. The security considerations do even explicitly acknowledge that it's up to the application to encrypt the payload if it wants to.

Plain text is typically used as the opposite of 'binary'. You are intending to say 'unencrypted' or 'clear text', not 'plain text'. SCTP is not encrypted by default. It is a transport protocol and it is intended that

> Well, yeah, but then what's the advantage over QUIC? It's also a complete flow control and encryption stack in user space if you want to run it over DTLS! I mean, I don't mind SCTP, but it's not like the kernel implementation is of any help when you want to run it over DTLS ...

the advantage is that DTLS over SCTP is an internet standard that was created organically by a variety of motivated individuals and organizations. DTLS over SCTP does not require kernel encryption, and is implementable in userspace. This is similar to how TLS is implemented in userspace but uses the kernel TCP drivers. SCTP has been a standard for almost two decades and DTLS over SCTP for a similarly long time. There is no reason to replace something that works, with something that is exactly the same, except for the fact it's invented by Google.

You claim QUIC is encrypted. It is not. QUIC is a transport protocol and transport protocols need their headers to be inspectable to provide good routing, etc. The payloads are encrypted, like any other transport protocol.

The point is that there is no technical advantage to QUIC over DTLS over SCTP over UDP. Thus, we should reject the new standard in favor of the existing one.

This is similar to how, if someone made a POSIX-like specification that fulfilled all the same requirements as POSIX, we shouldn't simply adopt because it's newer. If the new technology offers no advantage over the old, then the new technology should be rejected as offering nothing new.
The elites are psychologically prepping people for it.
Unfortunately politics works exactly that way. See how far Japan got in WW2, knowing very well what could be the end of it.

In fact the most scary situations in the entire WW2 was the time between the first nuclear weapon and the second nuclear weapon drop and the time after that till surrender. Here is a paragraph from the statement of Emperor of Japan.

Moreover, the enemy has begun to employ a new and most cruel bomb, the power of which to do damage is, indeed, incalculable, taking the toll of many innocent lives. Should we continue to fight, not only would it result in an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrender_of_Japan

Now imagine if the emperor had thought, they might as well endure a little further and let it continue.

Then you have no other option but to the bomb the earth to biological extinction.

Its very dangerous to posses a powerful weapon(like nuclear weapons), what's more dangerous is an enemy country deciding to be oblivious of it.

In another life, I edited some things—short memoirs, journals, a couple of works of political philosophy. I picked up a trick that works pretty well, even on my own writing:

Read it backward, last sentence to first.

The vast majority of mistakes you miss aren’t a product of reading your own writing—they’re missed because you’re reading in your flow of thought and you know what you’re trying to say.

This is what a third party offers—they don’t know what you’re trying to say until they read it. But even they can miss things when they’re in your flow. I read others’ work backward to this day, and still catch things I missed on my first forward read.

Edit: I just had to correct a silly autocorrect because I didn’t read my own writing backward. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> The illiberal leftist ideologies that you seem to be referring to are not a part of liberalism

I actually think it's incredibly telling that a group that used to identify themselves as "liberal" have renamed themselves "progressive". Rather than freedom of expression and ideology, they now espouse a mandated direction "forward" and no longer value freedom.

Those are two very different things.
There’s nothing wrong with a company existing to specialise in its own field. Not every business has to be an Amazon nor Google. not everyone wants to work in such a company and a great many business owners equally don’t really care that much either just so long as their business sustains them a comfortable life.

We live in the bubble in the technology sector because growth is easy (data can be redistributed cheaply and we can work on an international scale right from the off). But for an animation studio that would mean having to write more scripts and thus potentially diluting their brand with inferior stores.

When You think about where Aardman began (stop motion animation that could take years just to produce one half hour TV movie), you can really see that the company is built around the love of animation rather than being a mass producer of family content.
But you get a tech event out of it, which is presumably the primary reason you're there.
There were consequences to this. There was an uproar over this in India at the time. Ranbaxy paid 500 million in settlement in felony charges related to drug safety. Finally, the company was acquired by Sun Pharma who fired most of the executives and staff.

I just put iOS 12 on a family member’s iPhone 6, a four year old model. It runs beautifully.

Apple replaced the battery on it for $29, even though the phone did not need it (capacity was above 90% after 2 years of use - it was purchased before phase-out).

More people should replace batteries - their phones would last longer at a cheaper annual cost. We already know modern iPhones have more than enough compute in them.

“Planned obsolescence” is not a thing with iPhones.
DDG doesn't maintain its own indexes. It uses Bing and Yandex, the only two other global-level English language web indexes. So DDG isn't proof positive of anything.
Aardman didn’t invent stop motion nor claymation. So plenty of companies have been in the business of creating stories using those techniques. However I’m pretty sure Aardman could have grounds for legal action if another company copied their iconic character designs (which will be copyrighted).
When they still sold 16 GB phones sure, but 64 GB is perfectly fine for most users, especially if you use music and photo services in the cloud. As for 4x4 MIMO, I saw benchmarks on a real-world network, and the differences were pretty much negligible (under 10%)

The base models are nowhere near "unusable", they're actually better than they have ever been for Apple.
> The iPhones after the 6 all had problems.

I think you’re recalling your memories the wrong way.

That is still my favourite iPhone.
