Apple also changes materials and processes all the time. Despite being thicker (and shorter), the iPhone SE bends more easily than newer iPhones like the 6S [1], 7 or 7 Plus [2].

I never understood why "climate skeptics" don't see past this glaringly obvious fact: almost every time there is some "rebuttal" against climate change, the source comes back to a conservative think tank or oil company. Hello??? It's so frustrating.
I carry my tech in a cyclists backpack which I wear when riding my bicycle or motorcycle. Increment weather, dust, high winds and extreme heat/near freezing cold are are normal conditions on my way to work. My current laptop was even able to survive an 80mph over-the-bars log roll.

Why would I "upgrade" to a device that can't?
HelloFresh is the worst of the mealkit services I've tried. If you like it that much, I would recommend trying out some of the other ones.

Very interesting. Indoor mapping is a great project to take on. I started mapping my house using Wifi Signal. By capturing signal strength, noise, and connected AP for each device for every second. I can manage to turn lights off and on as I enter certain rooms. I can also tell the "occupancy level" of each room and "Who's where".
How old is your iPhone? I don’t recall the first model to introduce it, but all iPhones now I believe have supported an “always on” hey Siri mode for a while, even if phone is in standby.
Kong runs at a critical point in any infrastructure. Having any sort of downtime is usually unacceptable.

To avoid downtime due to Kong upgrades, Kong now supports a blue-green deployment method where for two Kong nodes of version A and version A+1 can run together at the same time as the upgrade is being rolled out, and then switching all traffic to A+1.
So do something about it. Put up or shut up.
Audio recordings are of the wake word and following command. The device has lights to indicate when it's listening/recording.

Preprints are great & everyone should post a preprint as soon as they're ready to share what they've been working on. That said, there's a big difference between journals and preprints, not just in the production quality or the improvements made after review, but in the whole hidden infrastructure that supports the discovery of artcles, the indexing, preservation, linking, etc.

It's worth pointing out that running a preprint server isn't exactly cheap, either: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/04/biorxiv-preprint-ser...
> One option is to re-create that talk

One remote first company I interviewed with told me all their daily calls were video because they wanted to make sure people still felt human. And I think it's such a crucial piece in all this because people have been accustomed to just doing audio only which only further creates a sense of loneliness.

The article wasn't about this, but the headline reminded me of a conundrum I first encountered while reading "Permutation City."

The protagonist considers how consciousness can be simulated. Simulated entities experience subjective time at the same rate, whether their mental faculties are computed in real-time, or if they are only computed once a day (which would result in the "outside world" speeding by them, but their subjective perception of the flow of time never changes).

The protagonist then considers how the same computations could be done on an abacus by hand, over a long enough time period. The question is then, are the mechanisms that compute and result in our own consciousness that different from had someone done it on a computer, or even on an abacus?

How about both. Google, Microsoft, and Facebook both pay their researchers very well and let them publish extensively. That's why they have world-leading research organizations, and Apple does not.

Can't say I'm having that experience with my Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga 3rd Gen. The speakers are the worst sound I've heard in a laptop in a long time, the Dolby HDR screen isn't calibrated out of the box (it has a terrible +10% red tint), and it doesn't charge if the device is switched off - it has to be in sleep mode. I'm regretting my purchase.

But that said - it's replacing a MacBook Pro that had to be fixed by Apple 6 times, each time for a faulty SATA flex cable that failed every two months so it couldn't boot from the internal drive. So far the X1 Yoga hasn't had that kind of problem.
>Voice-first devices are long overdue.

Sure, that's not really anything that anyone disagrees with. It's the acceptance of data collection and exfiltration that is odd.

Kong has a migrations framework that handles them for you. If you're doing a migration because you're upgrading from an older version of Kong you'll want to do that only once the Kong nodes are upgraded.

For example, here are the instructions on upgrading to 1.0, which walk you through a couple migrations scenarios. https://discuss.konghq.com/t/kong-1-0-is-now-generally-avail...

This is key. Yes the CIA or Apple or whoever could conceivably hack/change my phone or laptop to turn on the microphone and camera on, but there's not much you can really do about that as hardware switches seem to have gone out of vogue (I've got tape over my laptop camera like most sane people, but microphone?)

However I suspect the majority of iphones have "Hey Siri" enabled, and probably the same with whatever android uses

1. I can't see the produce/meat/seafood and pick the pieces I want. They aren't all the same, so this matters.

I think it depends on the region and the options available.

When I lived in a city where Peapod delivery was available, I had no qualms about having meat or vegetables delivered. It really did a great job with that.

Now I live in a place where the options are Amazon/Whole Foods, WalMart, Shipt, and a few others, and they're not very good at picking the best fresh products.

I think the difference is that Peapod doesn't have stores, so the "shoppers" can pick from an entire warehouse of produce. So if a head of broccoli looks "off," there are far more alternatives than someone "shopping" from an individual store's selection.

My solution is to have non-perishables delivered every two or three weeks, and perishables I pick up on the way home from work. It still saves a ton of time not having to do a full shopping run.

#2 is solvable but the US has 50 different state liquor law regimes, so it's a bit of a challenge.

I don’t use Siri enough to have a personal opinion but read this article. Someone who tested 800 questions (on a HomePod not iPhone) and earlier this year got 52% correct responses and now got 74% right. From that it looks like it’s improving quite rapidly.

I agree with your assessment of losing dominant group status and I think you're definitely right.

However, I do think it relates directly back to income and survival.

Humans are tribal and want to associate with members of their own tribe.

Being the dominant tribe gives members of that tribe certain advantages in the job market.

If any other tribe gets in power members of that tribe will then have those advantages.

My one datapoint - I decided to stock up on beans and ordered a couple dozen cans of the organic Whole Foods house brand. Almost every single one of them arrived dented to hell, and then I noticed that the reviews almost unanimously state the same thing.

Kids Apps on Google Play Have “Disturbing” Content and May Violate Privacy Laws
Yep just split on whitespace
1) It's always listening for a keyword, and then it starts recording. It's a voice interface for a computer.

2) Your phone is doing the same thing except for it follows you around everywhere you go and records your map location, what apps you use, who you are talking to and what your web searches are. Your phone isn't recording just what you say...its recording what you do and where you do it and when you do it. It's overwhelmingly more pervasive and invasive if you value privacy.

3) The utility of being able to interact with a computer via my voice wildly surpasses the risk. Even if it had been my voice sent to this random other person all they would get is 3000 recordings of me saying "Alexa, what is the weight of an elephant?" "Alexa, play Magic Sword." "Alexa, whats the weather?" My father-in-law thought these things were the devil until he realized he could ask it to play ANY SONG HE WANTED and it would do it. Now he is always unplugging ours and plugging it back in on the porch so he can use it out there.

Literally every article about home assistants brings out a number of people who continue to say how they can't understand how people could have this in their homes. Great, you can't understand it. Meanwhile, an enormous number of people find immense utility in home assistants otherwise they wouldn't be proliferating so wildly for this long.

Using 32 cards to get 5 bits of entropy only works if you are randomly selecting a single card at a time.

If you shuffle a deck of 32 cards, you get ~117 bits, a fair bit less that the 160 bits you would get for 5 bits/card, and there's extra math.
If you live in the bay area, you may want to try goodeggs.com. We've tried all the delivery services and this is the only one that hasn't been terrible.

I'm not affiliated with goodeggs in any way...just a passionate fan.

I wonder how long you'd last in an apple store, ask them "Are these strong enough for day to day use", then bend it with your bare hands.
15-20 years? How are you SURE that smartphones will still be a thing in 20 years? Let alone that Apple will still be the hip premium brand? 20 years is a LONG time. The average lifespan for an S&P 500 company is less than that these days.

Could you provide some more detail on how you do this?
I can’t explain it but I do know that if I’m blocking my feelings (for whatever reason) I lose access to the meaning of things. Meaning and interpretation in my mind seem to resonate with my surroundings just by simply coming back to the feelings in my body.
Astonishingly, people are able to do tricky trade-offs. They trade privacy for utility in this case. What’s wrong with that?
Just a guess, but often politics is less about what gets done than it is about who gets to claim credit. Stalling until the next Congress could be someone either trying to take credit or offload blame, possibly not even the person or party seeming like the obstacle, since they trade favors. It could even be something as simple as being able to claim bipartisanship after the switch.

Amtrak (or carriers, in this case I believe Conrail may be what I meant) can charge money for their services. When I mentioned taxing the goods I didn't mean sending in the IRS and instead I was referring to levying an additional fee for the costs induced by the usage of their service.

The word tax has multiple meanings, and my usage above was indeed correctly utilizing one of those meanings.
Agree ^. It makes sense to me that if you are a person who believes that what society and the status quo deem as possible are limited, you probably also don't find traditional interpretations of "why" to be sufficient.

That is just simply not true. The largest part of the US budget is ~1.25 trillion USD spent on Social Security and Unemployment, after that it's ~1 trillion on Medicare & Medicade, and ~600 billion on Defense.

Make no mistake the US spends wayyyy too much on the military, but it's not #1
6 months old is outdated, depending on how fast things change on the ground.

Even 2 months old can be outdated (e.g. can be missing houses built since, or showing houses that no longer exist). In some areas, this can be a very significant effect.
Obviously, this was already tried.

The precursor to Facebook, at least among my peers, were personal blogs on Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad, etc and the precursor to that was personal web sites on GeoCities and Tripod. Many of my friends linked to each other's sites and it formed a pseudo-social network.

Facebook was better because you could control who saw your website by limiting your friend list. They had the social framework in place, you just had to sign up. Facebook is also a great place to share local news.

Something like it will probably, eventually replace the local newspaper and TV stations.
