S7 is a solid phone. It launched with a great camera, slim design, great battery life and decent speed.

Sure there is stuff that's better now for games or really pushing it. But for taking some pictures, navigating, podcasts, notetaking, general admin, youtube, messaging etc etc it's still absolutely fine.

I've actually just bought a Moto G6 Play and that's an extraordinary device for the money (£129.99).

4000mAh battery, bigger screen (though not 'better') and can do all the S7 does above without trouble. Camera isn't as good but man it's cheap for what you get.

Here's the thing though: Even knowing the whole story, that a jerk billionaire is flexing his full legal force on Xu to make his life as hellacious as possible, doesn't change that Xu is a complete shitbird.

Xu did a bad thing. End. It doesn't matter who he did the bad thing, we can all agree that it's a bad thing to lie cheat and steal for personal financial gain. The other player in the story doesn't make it acceptable. But people want to shift the narrative to "but what about how bad G-Research is" and that's just the consequence of the first bad action.
This is a PR pitch to a market that only has very technical customers.

I'm curious, feature-less in what sense?

Not an Apple fan myself, but everyone I've heard has praised the XR for basically being an XS with a cheaper screen.

Personally, I think the price points for these phones have become irrational. Supposedly their entry level model, the XR starts at €859.
This is a fantastic development in the fight against cancer and an encouraging result, of course the question becomes how do we insure, kill switches and all, that we’ve not designed a better “cancer.”

I looked at the objective sound quality data on them and well, it's less than positive, I'm used to Sennheiser HD650s at home, which score quite well on such metrics, so I'm quite doubtful I'd like them much.

My first and only experience with Apple products was not a good one and I don't intend to repeat it. Macbook - ran extremely hot, many of the supposedly amazing Apple UIs were trash (Alt+O to open a file? Why can't I maximize a window like a normal person? How about the need to use 3rd party tools to do Super+Left/Super+Right that works out of the box on Windows and KDE), battery is glued in with some of the strongest glue I've ever seen so when I had to replace it after 2 years it was not a fun experience. I did learn lipo cells can take far more abuse than I expected though. I wound up running Windows on it and eventually just deleting the OS X partition.

You've provided no reasons except "There's no comparison", "They are game-changing" - shit like that is why I don't buy much Apple stuff. It's hype that fails to deliver.
My actual point was that symbolic dreams of that sort probably are not "psychic" phenomenon. The cases where people dream about what is coming in vivid and realistic terms are arguably psychic events where somehow someone has literally seen the future before it happened. The symbolic dreams are likely predictions of the sort I described above: The mind crunching data and spitting out graphics that serve as an information dense summary of the mind's conclusions.

They are a form of thinking, not some kind of magic voodoo whatever. And they constitute the vast majority of reported predictive dreams.
In the end, they're optimistic that Twitter can be a positive and fun experience, but I don't share that optimism.
Why is it that when people talk about Foxconn, they only talk about Apple? Foxconn supplies everyone.
Mmm, I know someone who purchased one of those, and it seemed to be totally fine – basically the same experience as the X, but with slightly cut-down specs to reduce the cost. Presumably for all the people who complained about the cost of the X last year, no?
Those are all basically the exact same application

> That said, they seem like the kind of algorithms that, by having them in your back-pocket, would allow you to solve seemingly unsolvable problems.

Hmm... not sure. "Solving seemingly unsolvable problems" might be overselling these algorithms a tad.

Metaheuristics are a collection of algorithms for solving various types of optimization/constraint-satisfaction problems via a process of educated trial-and-error (which is essentially what heuristics are). Typically they are not mathematically sophisticated but they get you answers that are good enough for most practical purposes.

However, it's hard to say one metaheuristic algorithm is better than another. There's a huge element of luck involved.

p.s. Ironically, they can succeed where sophisticated optimization algorithms fail, but there's no guarantee. They are definitely very practical though.

The analogy in my head is this: I think of a sophisticated algorithm as one MIT-trained engineer trying to solve a problem (where the goals are clear) in a methodical way, whereas metaheuristics as maybe 1000 Joe Blows meandering around the problem in some sort of orchestrated way. The chances are good that one of them Joe Blows gets lucky.

This is quite an ancient myth of flight pricing, and I'd love to see it die, but alas it will not. Your cookies and/or browser fingerprint has basically no effect on flight prices.

In addition, the "proof" provided on that subreddit has quite a few problems:

A) That route is priced ridiculously anyway, and they are looking at Delta, who always price ridiculously. Delta doesn't care about price-conscious shoppers, so they have virtually no incentive to try and segment fares based on browsing history, etc.

B) They're looking at a third party flight aggregator. These are the WORST ways of buying flight tickets. They're decent for _finding_ deals, but 9/10 times, the airline's website sells it cheaper, and the airline's website gives you more benefits anyway (as you're the buyer and/or owner, not the online travel agent).

C) Furthermore, these online travel agents cache flight lookups _very_ heavily. My guess is that the search with TOR routes to a different edge server with a different cache. API calls to the airlines are extremely costly.

The best way of getting a cheaper flight has nothing to do with your browser, so don't worry about it. The best ways of saving money are based on _when_ you buy, and of course what airline. Don't buy on a weekend, and try not to fly on one either. Holidays are similar, except it's not a bad idea to actually fly ON a holiday, but not around one.
Great bikes! Ordered a frame form Materia bikes nearly 4 years ago. The bike is still in perfect condition and I am really enjoying it. If we are talking about bike stiffness and vibration damping - the front triangle (Top-tube, Bottom-tube, seat-tube) is made from solid wood, that is why I found the ride much smoother compared to my old carbon or aluminium bikes. - the rear triangle (seat-tube, chain-stay, seat-stay) is made from laminated wood so the rear end for the bike it is really stiff and hard, what is good for performance.
Stiffness in a tire is bad. That's why more expensive tires are suppler. Energy lost due to rolling resistance on a paved road is primarily viscous dissipation due to flex of the tire.

If the tire is a stiffer material, this dissipates more energy. In addition, suppler tires deform over obstacles more readily, reducing bouncing and vibration.

More or less, your contact patch is pressure/weight, since the tire can't support much weight on its own. It's going to be almost the same no matter what (slick) tire you are running. Wider tires have less rolling resistance for the same pressure (to a point), since the tire deflects less to maintain the same contact patch. Two tires of the same width, one stiff and one supple, will have to bend in the same way, and have nearly identical contact patches. However, the supple one will dissipate less heat doing this.
“Robust Website Fingerprinting“ sounds like something that is done to a website, not a user. It depends on your audience. I don’t think HN is quite that specialized.
Not stronger (or weaker)- lighter, but more importantly MUCH more stable. Fiberboard (web) and plywood (flange) is stronger and heavier than wood of the same dimensions, but the biggest draw is that humidity doesn't make it swell or shrink. Since it's all glued in place, they also don't come with any bend or twist, and you can actually make flat floors without low or high spots.

The light weight means you can ship a huge number on the back of a truck, and they stack more efficiently than 2x8s or 2x10s.
Well let's be clear about the stakes of this. Firstly, the billionaire isn't going to lose anything - he owns a company with dozens of different strategies. The people who will lose out are the other engineers who designed and built those strategies and now can't use them anymore. Even the risk of those stategies being out in the wild opens them up to the risk of a competitor exploiting their expected behaviour, so lot's of their work is going to have to be re-engineered. Secondly, whilst $30m doesn't threaten the company, having former employees thinking they can walk off with the secret sauce does threaten the existence of the company. So it's not surprising the most famous example of this is the one that's going to get the strongest enforcement.

You are right that "dictatorship" or "conspiracy" are the wrong ways to look at this sort of corrupting influence. The actuality is far more pernicious - it doesn't take Bond-villain plotting, just people making decisions that are shaded by their own social connections. They don't need to be doing it deliberately or conciously, but even indirect connections to, for example, the defense industry or certain players in the finance industry will lead to decisions that benefit those to whom the decider is biased.
Thanks!

So I started to do that for myself, to save time and make everything reproducible. I found that when I wanted to make a small change to anything I'd have to go back and dig up the old command lines, and sometimes I couldn't reproduce my old results.

By recording the result generation in the script, including things like turning on and off the prefetchers - it made things reproducible for myself, and also encouraged experimentation since it was very easy to generate all the results after any change.

Then, once you make that script for yourself, a nice side effect is that everyone else can use it too and you can skip a lot of the description about how you got your results: it's kind of a self-documenting way to explain how you got your results.
I'm not an expert either, but you might be interested in the book 'Superforecasting' by Tetlock and Gardner - they have done some (IMHO) very interesting research on predictions markets. It might be the kind of thing you're looking to research more of!

What electricity revolution tells us about our future with A.I
Fast Fitness produced a little spreadsheet to calculate optimal pressure based on tyre width, bike+rider weight and a very granular assessment of surface.[1]

Something else to take into account is the aerodynamic trade off as tyre width grows. I think I read somewhere that 25mm is roughly the sweet spot. What you gain in lower rolling resistance by going up to 28mm you loose in drag. That's a bit anecdotal (sorry) but I have heard it mentioned in a couple of places. The best source I could come up with was from Zipp's web site.[2]

Of course that might well be worth it to be more comfortable if it means you can keep your body in a more aero position as that will dwarf any loss from the tyres (again a guess).

Hopefully there's some numbers somewhere to back that up. Maybe Bicycle Quarterly or Tour Magazine might be a good bet for anyone interested.

Also https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/ is always very interesting ...assuming you obsess over bike tyres as I'm sure everyone does. :P

I've been to the City of London many times (though I worked outside it, in Mayfair).

It's really not "essentially sovereign" or "outside national law" as you might argue of an embassy or a military base or even, say, the Channel Islands. People and businesses there are subject to all the laws of the land. Financial firms there are regulated by the FCA, which is based outside the City and appointed by the Treasury, definitely not by the City of London Corporation.

Prestigious financial firms have offices in the City because everyone else does, not because there's some legal or regulatory benefit from being incorporated there - again, very different from those who choose other Crown jurisdictions like Jersey or IOM or the Caymans.

It has forced countless companies to review what they collect and how the process user data. The effects are seen everywhere even in the offline world.

* Apple announces it will no longer report unit sales. This is a clear shift in strategy.

* Orders have been cut not once, but twice.

* Suppliers have been slaughtered in earnings reports.

* Suppliers have cut staff and are trying to control costs.

The "because of us, instruments are priced properly everywhere and that's good for everyone" is interesting.

Does that result solely exist because of us making a market? What is 'properly priced' exactly and why would it be a Bad Thing if it were less 'properly priced'? And why is this even a goal that should be pursued? And should that goal be pursued at all (and I do mean ALL) cost?

Those questions were never answered to my satisfaction.
