FWIW, I replace my phone every ~4 years on average. With the XS Max, I have the latest OS with the latest security updates and a state-of-the-art web browser and an outstanding screen & audio. Admittedly it contains a bunch of technology I'm not making much use of at the moment, but even then the battery lasts more than 24 hours easily with regular use. If/when those killer AR apps come along, the phone is equipped to take advantage of it.

The price of the phone was something I was happy to pay, for the peace of mind that I've got a device I can depend on for as long as I want to keep using it.

I got burned about a decade ago by carriers not supporting Android updates on the early HTC devices and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Perhaps that has changed but this chart still doesn't inspire much confidence: https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards

That is not the only legitimate reason, at all; adoption of new technology takes time for good reasons. Rust is still pretty new, a lot of things are still only in nightly, and while impressive the ecosystem has a long way to go in terms of robust libraries.

Open source software is only one facet; there are plenty of companies with millions of lines of C++ internally, some of which making up parts of their infrastructure.

I'm being intentionally very non exhaustive for two reasons:

1, I don't feel I should have to explain this. It's self explanatory that these two extremely complicated things can't be compared like integers

2, because it's very much subjective. If you are starting a completely greenfield project Rust might be a good idea. I am a huge fan of what Rust has to offer. But it has it's kludges and kinks to work out, whereas companies have had decades to work out and improve their usage of C++. In particular, linting and coding standards for modern C++ projects generally go very far in improving memory safety even if they don't provide strong guarantees like Rust can. With enforced coding standards you can virtually eliminate risks like buffer overflow and discourage risks like data races. In addition to the ecosystem of libraries, there's a lot of excellent tooling for C++, for static analysis and debugging.

I fear now that I have elaborated the first instinct you will have is to poke holes in individual points. Please don't. All I'm trying to illustrate is that switching to Rust costs time+effort, and it is seriously not better than C++ in every way, in the same way that Go isn't.

In your opinion. My own experience with Confluence is that it's essentially write-only memory. So much documentation that goes in to my companies Confluence becomes outdated _very_ quickly, but is rarely, if ever, actually kept up-to-date. This leads to a system whereby people appear to be generating a lot of functional utility for our company and our documentation purposes but it's little more than noise when you are actually trying to find that utility.
For me this is one of the biggest draws of New York: the food. New York has just an amazing breadth of food available at all price points. You can find very decent $1 slices of pizza (people lost their shit when DiFara started charging $5/slice). The Bay Area as well has a ton of excellent food options as well but prices tend to be higher across the board. And if you're using food costs as a metric, that's just one of a few different areas in which the Bay Area has become dramatically more expensive than other expensive metro areas (NY, HK, Singapore) and it's infuriating.

I've seen some complaints that there's no real bread culture in the Bay Area compared to Europe (and especially France), and to that I said (and will continue to say) bullshit. There are still a ton of bakeries in most areas, and you can find the more mass produced stuff for about $4/1lb loaf (a baguette would be around half the price). And the diversity blows any typical European city out of the water. You can find good sour dough, sweet French bread, Italian bread, rye, etc. in nearly any supermarket. Sure, there were many more bakeries in San Francisco about a century ago (r.i.p. Parisian), but you can walk into a Trader Joe's and get a loaf of sourdough bread that is right up there with anything from my childhood. You can find good (great if you have the patience) croissants too (and, honestly, finding a truly great croissant in Paris is a bit of a challenge these days anyhow). The only thing we really lack out here bread-wise is a good bagel.

Because the networks are so convoluted they don't know where the calls are coming from.
on the AP (phone):

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 65

You will need TTL target built into the kernel of the ROM you are using. LineageOS is unwilling to do it officially, so I build my own with it enabled.

It's a good idea to only use ipv4 when doing this. A few services are detected on TMUS, so for those VPN. Sprint doesn't seem to care, but they have a patent on TTL detection too from around 10 years ago. I normally do not VPN, but I do use my own DNS since I don't like carrier hijacking.

One of the issues I see with looking at science fiction for inspiration is that they are stories first, predictions second - they seem to gravitate towards ideas that make dramaturgical sense. Future technological or societal developments that would not make for interesting or relatable stories tend to get much less attention than those that do, regardless of how likely they are to actually happen.

For instance, character death still seems to be treated as a huge deal in a large number of popular science fiction franchises due to their usefulness as a storytelling device; despite their worlds being vastly technologically advanced than ours, death carries the same finality and graveness. Worlds where death has been engineered down to a mere inconvenience aren't unheard of, but seem to be pretty uncommon outside of very "hard" Sci-Fi. On the other hand, "robots" and "AIs" that think and talk at a level indistinguishable from humans (but the rest of the world being disproportionately un-advanced) seem to be all-too-common in popular franchises, again due to how handy they come in when telling stories.

I understand it's difficult to write relatable stories with a setting that aren't necessarily friendly with good storytelling, but we should at least be aware of the bias.
Kind of narrow minded and outdated to believe that legal liquor is less harmful that illegal marijuana plant. Not to mention all the health benefits. This truly is a legacy of the past racist American "reefer madness" mentality of stoned jazz musicians "mixing" with white women. The horror. In the state of Idaho, marijuana is illegal, yet heroin overdoses are so bad cops have to carry an epi pen.
Same goes for the suggested Indian plans and pretty much most plans those days.

From what I've read on the article above some plans have daily data-cap and you pay for a specific amount on data monthly.

Used to do the opposite job, I unload the trucks and made sure the loaders and builders didn't screw up my order again. I like to think that it was a good job. Made good friends, something about putting in hard work alongside others makes for enjoyable relationships.

Your anecdote covers business leasing when the article discusses housing. Surely having a flat sit empty for years while people don't have any place to live in is a problem, right?

Obviously there's an economic incentive here (why else would anyone leave the apartments empty?) but it just doesn't mean it's not a problem for the cities and their citizens.
And thus you have arrived at the central issue here.
I think this is a good point. Users get desensitized to this kind of stuff and learn to filter it out/stop noticing over time.

Psychologists or UX designers might have better input into the right mechanism. I personally would guess it requires a more forceful approach. Periodically force change of focus to the tab or popup or whatever while going about normal work. As the user voluntarily installs this, maybe the threshold to be annoyed by it is a little lower and can be taken advantage off.

> there is no way to guarantee memory safety.

Absolutely not true for C++. The language was invented to guarantee memory safety, like Rust was. (The fact that people ignore the safety features when coding is irrelevant, people liberally throw 'unsafes' around in Rust and Haskell too.)
Very ISP dependent: both Verizon and T-Mobile detect using TTL. They also have a list of services which will count towards hotspot data.

For Sprint, everything is old and weird... so they just look at ports like it is 12 years ago. (OpenVPN's default port is bad, 443 is good though)

That's certainly a reasonable concern given the information above. For what it's worth, though, I work at Stripe and I've never felt pressured to write a shipped email; I don't think others are either.

In fact, I think the only shipped emails I've written have been on behalf of colleagues since I was so excited about something they'd built/fixed (with their permission). Many (most?) Stripes aren't the type to brag about their work. But it is nice to share, and to let others know that X product is better now.

I have nothing against the claim that rodents are closer to primates than other mammals are. I don't think that goes a long way toward explaining the use of mice in labs; it would be an equally strong argument for using gerbils, rabbits, capybaras...

I think mice are used because they're small and easy to keep, and because by now there's a lot of lab-mouse-specific infrastructure -- existing literature about them, special strains of mice bred for use in the lab, and so on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_mouse#History_as_a_... suggests (in my eyes) that the use of mice is basically a coincidence.

The fact that they're at least as closely related to humans as other similarly cheap, non-dangerous animals is a plus, but I don't think it was the reason mice were used historically and I think it's only a minor contributor to the continuing use of mice today.

When you're really hoping to transfer a finding over to humans, you use monkey models, though I understand those are getting rarer under a combination of cost and animal-rights-activism issues.

> That level of wealth and success relative to others can only possibly be achieved by luck

I bet if you were sitting next to Gates in the 80s and 90s and got to see how many decisions he had to make to achieve what we did, I'd doubt you'd it attribute it solely to luck. All successful businesses likely experience some form of luck, but you need to be in a position to take advantage of it and that comes from skill and hard work.

I think people underestimate how difficult it is to create an industry like PCs or business software. After they're ubiquitous it's easy to look back and say "well of course, anyone could have done that", but the fact is other's were trying and failed or gave up or never started.
Yeah! Looks exciting. I will say that the Raspberry Pi is USB 2, so bandwidth between , say, your camera and the Movidius Stick is limited. The google device and this one should have proper high bandwidth interfaces.

Historically T-Mobile was terrible. They now have native roaming on US Cellular and band 12 (700mhz) and band 71 (600mhz) lowband coverage. This covered a lot of the gaps.

Sprint is weird, since they really only have halfassed voLTE they rely on a giant legacy CDMA network that should have been put out to pasture 5 years ago. But they do have the largest number of roaming agreements if all you care about is ability to call (and not have data). They do have fast data but it requires you to be in line of sight of a tower, not have walls or wet leaves in the way, and have a phone supporting HPUA so you can actually upload things.

AT&T's network has basically zero investment in recent years, unless in Georgia or a handful of other markets it's the worst of the 4. Poor spectrum planning, low capex, the only reason they are #2 is because they keep buying up companies with customers (shitty Mexican carriers and DirecTV).

Verizon still seems best (hardware, spectrum planning, roadmap, coverage), but no plans ideal for my needs. Poor for travel.
I live in one of such buildings in Thailand and I love it!

I live in 30 store high new condo that is pretty much bought out by chinese investors and few seasonal tourists. There are probably 200 people living here and on my floor I have 1 neighbour.
There's a pool, sauna and a gym in the building and with so few inhabitants you often have it all somewhat private.

As an expat I definitely benefit from this. I've tried to look into what locals think of this and couldn't really find any strong opinions. In fact I've noticed a trend that locals tend to invest into condos themselves nowdays.

It's an intersting contrast to the problem Barcelona and San Francisco is facing - leaving housing empty might not be the core issue here at all as it clearly works perfectly fine for some places.

Control Planes vs. Data Planes
Hmm. Maybe I'm missing something. I don't understand how more efficient rent-collection (and literal rent-collection at that) is productive. I mean, isn't it definitionally not "productive"?

I mean you can make the argument that by being more efficient at rent collection over some time horizon you funnel more money to yourself and other local industries but isn't this basically just a cost to everyone else at every other scale of time and space?
I disagree. Many people do not read the articles. You can easily tell by taking the number of unique users commenting on articles and comparing to standard marketing metrics for shared articles.

And they don’t need to read anyway, because comments are the real reason people come to a site like this. If the comments praise the article highly or make strong references, then perhaps it warrants a read, otherwise the comments make for much better content. You can often tell what the article’s main idea is from the headline anyway, otherwise it’s just a bad headline and probably a bad article.
Oh, interesting! I hadn't seen that.
This argument falls flat because it doesn't show a requirement that the first proceeds the second, and additionally it assumes that "the end justifies the means".

It may be true that our current scientific culture arose from religion, but it's easy to imagine it arising separately. There are even countless stories of times when scientific progress was hindered by religious thinking, situations where people tried to fit their ideas to some religious story and in doing so blocked their progress towards truth.

In addition to that, even if religion was a necessary prerequisite for modern science and we take that science is 'good', that does not mean religion is good. "The USA came about (in part) due to the use of slaves, take away slavery and we wouldn't have the USA" is not a good argument for slavery.

A side note, but the world is not really orderly, though maybe it is understandable. If anything, the world is filled with death, pain, and chaos; if any mind created it, it's a sadistic one.
I have a device with Sprint. If I run into an area where my primary T-Mobile phones don't get service, they'll do voWiFi using the Sprint connection.

Google Voice now supports data calling as well, so you can have same end result of WiFi calling even if your carrier or phone will not do voWiFi.

I don't see the appeal of Fi at all.
I'm only a Bitbucket user because it's the only way I can get hosted Mercurial repositories. The Mercurial workflow is a lot simpler than Git and was much easier to learn.

> why represent states as 2d complex vectors instead of quarterions? Aren't they the same thing?

Only in the sense that they are both require four real coefficients. The quaternions have a particular multiplicative structure that just doesn't apply to quantum states, so it doesn't make sense to use them.

That being said, the space of single-qubit operations is very much analogous to rotations in 3d and so is well described by quaternions. In fact, the Pauli matrices times i (iX,iY,iZ) are isomorphic to the quaternions (i,j,k). For example, iX * iY * iZ = -I.
C++ wasn't invented to be safe in the same way as Rust or Ada, whose author's saw state of the art safety as a critical tenant of the language. Stroupsoup was, I believe, mostly interested in making C more suitable for large software engineering projects and was more interested in better abstractions, which could lead to better safety.

The fact that people can ignore the safety features is the point. Unsafe is a contract, and it only opens a small number of extra "features". It forms the axioms of a proof the your code correctly uses memory. C++ is essentially just patched with safer abstractions, some of which are major improvements, but there is no proof, no rigorous check for safety until runtime from asan or a fuzzer, or other tools that aren't a part of core C++.

The biggest issue with the safety of C++, however, is the size of the language. It has become so big and so complicated, and the rules that govern things we take for granted like function name lookups are horrendously unintuitive and lead to unintended consequences.
