I loved my old Moto RAZR-i which was almost the same size and weight as the iPhone SE but had a larger screen area (51 cm2 vs 44 cm2) in a slightly different resolution (540x960 vs 640x1136) and AMOLED instead of LCD.

What was really interesting is that the Moto physical design almost seems like a premonition of today's notched displays and thin bezels. If you built it today but removed the bit of border at the top and bottom of the screen, you could cram in even more screen. If you also made it just a few mm wider, I think you could make a great compact phone with approximately 5" screen.

I think the side bezels could also be half as thick, as long as they were a slightly raised. I think you could also disable the touch sensitivity in the very edges of the screen without compromising the UX. I want to see extra pixels for border around text, etc. but I don't really need to be able to click or drag the border itself.
the point of using swift is to be faster than Python. if your computations are using numpy and most of your time is spent in these computations, passing through the python interpreter every time, it's going to have performance similar Python
Curious if they are even landlords. Aren't they just subleasing, such that no equity (of theirs) is being paid down? Or do they actually own the buildings?
Very cool pictures, but a correction:

Although it is understandable to see how it could be naturally assumed a vapor cone (as the singularity is also known)...

This is incorrect. The P-G Singularity is a hypothesized pressure singularity in flow leading to a true sound barrier that couldn’t be passed. It was based on faulty assumptions and doesn’t hold.

The Prandtl–Glauert singularity is a theoretical construct in flow physics, often incorrectly used to explain vapor cones in transonic flows. It is the prediction by the Prandtl–Glauert transformation that infinite pressures would be experienced by an aircraft as it approaches the speed of sound. Because it is invalid to apply the transformation at these speeds, the predicted singularity does not emerge. The incorrect association is related to the early-20th-century misconception of the impenetrability of the sound barrier.

plus numpy is apparently 3x slower than pure simd optimized c++ with something like eigen. I was hoping to get something faster (than numpy, not eigen) with swift

Great post, great example - I'm going to try and apply this analytical/process optimization mindset to more of these "softer" management tasks. Thank you
Once they noticed, they'd probably disallow that country code for verification. And if legitimate users from that country started complaining, I feel like "maybe you should ask your government to stop selling you out" would be a perfectly reasonable response.
They seem to be changing the positions from being generally at the door to instead being staff generally designated for welcoming but also helping people with requests, in which case 'host' makes sense as a distinction from other staff intended to focus on stocking, cleaning, checkout, etc.
Apologies you're right. I'm unable to edit my previous messagr to fix it unfortunately
The implication being that if a system requires a verified phone number to use, then breaches are intimately tied to an individual's real identity. This is far less true of email addresses.

Here in LA, I've found a couple incubators that offers beautiful co-working space, and also provide a far better value than WeWork when it comes to connecting with people. It seems to me the Airbnb of work space is the future, and not WeWork.
These things are orthogonal. What decides "career change" is that your job function changes (managing people vs. writing code) and that the skills required to be successful are significantly different. Dev to management easily fits the bill for this.

The fact that you are making more and have higher level responsibilities isn't really relevant here. That can be a component of a promotion, but it can also be a component of a career change.

As an aside, at many companies switching to a management position doesn't automatically mean more money or responsibility; hell, as a long-time, senior individual contributor at my company, I definitely make more than many/most managers & senior managers, and have more responsibility than some of them.
That's good though isn't it? The more employers start seeking competitive advantage in hiring disabled people, the narrower the pay and employment gap will become.

There was a talk in DEFCON about different substances that could stimulate neurogenisis and potential risks. The speaker mentioned the 1986 Nobel laureate Rita Levi-Montalcini who found NGF gave herself some dosage of NGF. The lady lived to 103 years old but the remarkable thing is that she is very productive in very old age. Later I found those peptids are extremly expinsive for normal people to consume

The plane was not bound for Germany, it took off intending to go to Scotland and indeed went straight there and landed. The pilot was given the previous days schedule by mistake. A simple mistake that no doubt caused consternation to the passengers and great embarrassment to the airline.

The plane did not 'accidentally' land in the wrong place. The headline makes it sound like the pilot turned left instead of right and was surprised to be in Scotland instead of Germany.

It's hard to argue that Apple can keeps Goldman Sachs on a leash. GS can't get a worse reputation that it already has, shaming them is worthless.

I wish more people would do this math, and apply it to other topics like how to pay teachers. For services to operate in a steady state over a long term, there is some fraction of the economy they must capture. This is why fundamentally a bus or train has to beat taxi services: the amount of service provided per labor hour is potentially a lot higher.
Brief Thoughts and Observations on Today’s ‘Show Time’ Apple Event
Why would we assume Apple would be no worse. Apple has a track record of disallowing all kinds of media that credit card companies have much less issue with. You're generally free to buy all kinds of things with your credit card that Apple disallows in their various terms of service.
I'm indifferent and glad I don't live there but why not just charge what it should cost to use Public Transportation/Subways? Why look for ways to subsidize it by taxing everything else but the people who use it?
That greatly depends on company. I'm a fairly-senior IC (~15 years experience) and make more than your high end for your "upper level IC".
> Bodies had no time to evolve to deal with modern pesticides. Any idea what time evolution takes to do what it does?

Sure, some people can't handle lactose, they have different responses to booze, etc.

But, broadly, our bodies have much more general mechanisms to deal with contaminants, which is why our DNA is vastly simpler than plants that can't simply get up and move but must be able to survive in whatever toxins or pests are around them.

> I think that's besides the point.

> What if, consumers can add 5 years on average to our lives by eating exclusively organic produce...

Say it's smoking, since that probably is on the order of 5 years. No doubt, the smart thing to do is to quit. If you thought organic farming made cows happy, that's a good reason, too. If you think you benefit or you're doing something to make the world better, go for it, that makes sense.

What I noticed is you say "eating exclusively organic" and the GP wrote (sarcastically) "everything is perfect in modern food industry".

I think that binary view indicates an underlying assumption that our bodies must be pure, which dates back to the oldest religious practices; halal, kosher, etc.

That's not crazy, we should obviously keep ourselves clean and avoid poisonous stuff. But your body is a host to all kinds of relatively benign parasites, your own stomach ferments a tiny bit of alcohol, you're stuck eating and breathing in all kinds of crap.

And I think that's my dispute: the world isn't pure, nature isn't pure, our bodies aren't pure.

Which is why I'm more inclined to focus on the time I am alive than worry about a few extra years I could have squeezed out if I'd jumped on the latest health craze.

> ... should we not move on use this wisdom to kill off some cash cows for an ugly-ass "agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation"?

If we can get the prices on organic food down to where we can feed cities without famines, sure.
They also aren't allowing "throwaway" VoIP numbers, so you can't even mask your main phone number - I tried signing up with both a Twilio number and a TextNow number and both failed with a "This number is not supported" error. I ended up opening a support ticket and they allowed me to bypass that requirement only after I explained that I don't have a traditional phone number.
Assuming pesticides are widespread and pervasive, it seems rather improbable to suggest that up to 10% of Americans don't have trace amounts of pesticides. Is there anyone who doesn't have, for instance, uranium, in their bodies?
Wait so I don't understand. You're saying almost nobody accepts credit cards, and someone else is saying almost everywhere accepts them. My experience is definitely that they don't accept them, outside of international places like airports and hotels.

In the UK everywhere has a payment terminal and that terminal accepts absolutely anything - credit, debit, Apple, AmEx, prepaid, cash-card, whatever. I don't know why Germany picks and chooses.
- I don't think you even understand what socialism is

I grew up in the USSR. How could I possibly understand what socialism is? Especially the fictional varieties. Mordor has a wiki page too, right?
My experience, as someone who isn't a professional full-time developer (systems engineer / devops focused), but who personally geeks out on CS theory, is I find it fairly rare for developers that I work with that think of Big O considerations when writing their code.

A prime example, was a piece of code that has to process incoming results that get stuck in a transnational database table. Instead of selecting, then processing, the records that the module cares about, it does the selection (which typically returns 1 - 10 records), sorts them, processes the record from the top of the list, then throws the rest of the initial select results away. It then goes back to the DB an does the same select, and repeats the process.

End result: if the queue gets backed up to 100, or 1000 records, the process never catches up. You have to temporarily change the status of the inbound records to something else, then put maybe 10 at a time back to pending.

There are countless other times I've seen similar types of issues where on small data sets the code runs fine, but the performance degrades to n^2, or even worse is when it degrades in a factorial manor. And the worst of it is that if I talk to the developers using common CS notation (such as, your algorithm should have logarithmic or at worse linear degradation as the input queue grows, and it is behaving exponentially), their eyes glaze over.
Also waiting for this to be explained to me.

Apart from the flex of having an apple credit card of course :)
I don't think there is much a reputation for killing accounts. Non-hn readers have no idea of the few isolated events that have been posted here. Most of these have to do with free tier.

I've moved more than a dozen accounts to GCloud with no billing or removal issues. It only seems to be recent, not ongoing over 6 years.

K8s is the best there too
I don't deny that TikTok made a mistake. I'm pointing out that in practice throwing up an age gate changes nothing. Sure, it's a dirt simple way of avoiding responsibility and TikTok should have at least done that much (doubly so since a whole story arc about this was aired on Silicon Valley). But if we really care about keeping under 13-year-olds from using these web apps or having their data collected then a more robust system of verification should be implemented.
I doubt that very much. They've pretty strongly implied that Apple TV+ is just Apple original content, not like Netflix or Amazon where its a mix of Originals and licensed content. If they own the content, they can distribute it wherever they want.
>>Technology and automation increase the total productivity in an economy, but only people who own these technologies benefit from the profits.

That is not true. It lowers consumer costs, reducing living expenses and making it easier for more people to come to own technology. Look at smart phone ownership rates since 2007. It went from 40 million people owning one to 2.5 billion owning one today.

Thanks to the proliferation of automation, in the form of factories with mechanized manufacturing processes, smart phones are much more affordable today than in 2007.

A smart phone is a computer with a camera and microphone that enables and automates many tasks, meaning the automation of smart phone manufacturing is increasing the automation technology that people own.

>>However, in a capitalist economy, the biggest incentive for creating AI is to reduce labor costs - compare something like a warehouse worker, who must be paid every week, with a warehouse AI robot.

Lower labor costs per unit of output means more people can afford services and products, including products that allow them to automate their own personal production.

>defaulted to putting in the current date while also not making crystal clear to users why it needed that information and what could result

It's been years since I've worked with COPPA, but isn't it illegal both to 1. default to e.g. 1970-01-01 so that accepting implies you're of age, and 2. for your prompt to be "You must be 13+ to use this service. If you are under 13 your videos will be deleted. What is your birthday?" because you're basically encouraging kids to lie?
Can we sue Google when they do things like this? No single entity should wield this much power. And we should rewrite the laws to make this so.

Google and Apple wanted to be in the role of gatekeeper, so they should be beholden to the apps on their platform. We had a web where developers were in control of their own deployment. Everything was decentralized and required responsibility and diligence.

Now the power is out of our hands and its unfair. It isn't our choice.

One might argue this is better for consumers, but I honestly don't think so. Technology could have fixed discoverability and provided sandboxing, networks could provide curation. And there would probably be better privacy in the world where Mozilla won instead of Google.

Edit: I am so happy that GDPR and CDPA have arrived to protect consumers. We need similar laws to protect startups, small businesses, and sole proprietors that rely on these platforms to treat us fairly. They owe us that after haven taken away the nice open web we once had. Maybe laws are how we get back the web we lost.

I imagine that level of criticism must be demoralizing. (That's why I didn't pile on, though I've been vocal about accessibility on similar threads about other toolkits.)

Just so I can understand where you're coming from, what's your motivation for developing yet another custom toolkit, despite all the challenges and all the table-stakes requirements that haven't yet been met? There must be some reason you feel this is a worthwhile use of your time, but I don't understand what it is.

I can generate detailed reports. With references and ranges.

My point still stands, if you think what they are perscribing works, go get tested again with a different lab. More than likely you'll have just as negative a report come back with exactly the same recommendations.

How to choose special characters, revisited
Sorry to hijack but I’m genuinely curious why you want to go to a big company. I would assume many of us view an acquisition and the ensuing payout precisely as a pathway to set the terms of our careers and NOT have to work for a large co. So you seem to at least be defying expectations.

I’ve been at two of the FAANGs as well as several early stage companies, and my opinion is that a person who enjoys everything that comes with the startup life enough to see one through to an acquisition is likely to find him or herself grossly incompatible with the reality of working at a FAANG company. But I am very curious to hear your rationale.
Craigslist is one recent example that I came across.
By AR, do you mean Assault Rifle?
I always assumed that cryptocurrencies is exactly how SubscribeStar has solved it for their audience (if you mean "people" in general, them most of them aren't wondering about anything because they don't consider it a problem to begin with, at least until something they care about gets consistently censored).

So I went and looked up their payment options. And sure enough, they have a page on that. Which has the following notice:

"In order to stay compliant with our strategic credit card processing partners' policies and due to recently tightened regulations on the cryptocurrency circulation for the US-based companies, we are going to halt all support for cryptocurrency payments on this site for the time being."

What is this all about? Are they saying that payment processors will refuse to work with organizations that accept cryptocurrency? But then how e.g. Coinbase works with credit cards?
Yeah, but you can pirate in parallel with more bandwidth. Why pirate one movie when you can pirate several dozen with a gigabit line?

It's all a matter of making it slower so they have more time to issue the copyright claim.
I would be interested in hearing your recommendations for incubator spaces in that area. Thanks.
Depends on who you ask about small changes. I prefer the incremental to the monumental. So it is tolerable to some portion of the population
Is anyone expecting ride-sharing to be adopted by a majority of the population for everyday trips? My impression is that taxi rides are inherently transportation for the upper middle class or occasional necessities for anyone else, not an everyday mode of transportation for the masses.
> And there would probably be better privacy in the world where Mozilla won instead of Google.

In that world Mozilla wouldn't sell your data to Pocket or Stranger Things or whoever knows a bizdev at Mozilla?
That's not my experience as a software engineer at all. In fact, I would say that I see people worrying about writing algorithms that are asymptotically optimal (well before that should ever be a consideration) 10x as often as I see people failing to consider the efficiency of the algorithms they write.
One of the things I like about the C++ STL is once you learn the idioms, the API tells you whether an operation is "fast." I don't really care if a line programmer can give me the formal definition of O(x), but I sure want him to know if an operation is appropriate to call in a loop.

That's speaking as a professional. As someone who finds CS fascinating, I'm appalled by the lack of interest many professional developers have in what is one of the most rigorous and elegant fields of mathematical inquiry. Even so I don't expect others to care about the things I do.
The NZ government did not censor the manifesto. The Chief Censor is independent from government. Likewise, they don't control the ISPs.
I still see many, many places that have chip readers, but the slot is taped over with a sign saying "swipe please" or something to that effect. And I don't mean dinky shops, either.
I've not noticed a change. I actually don't think my strategy would make a difference on an individual scale. But if widely deployed, I think it could.
Network neutrality does not apply to private networks. But even so, we care deeply about network neutrality. We are creating a truly neutral marketplace where suppliers cannot act in an anti-competitive manner towards buyers, and can only compete on performance and price.

To the poster who said that we are trying to restore the true spirit of network neutrality. Bravo, you get it. This is exactly what we intend to do.
Which is great if Steam is your only platform and you want to be tied to Valve forever, but as soon as you want your game on mobile, console or even another PC store like Epic or GOG you need another solution.
People like vandals and thieves and vagrants can be deterred by obscurity. There are lots of things which enjoy a modicum of peace and non disturbance because of obscurity. Maintenance sheds, utility rooms, etc.
I appreciate the offer. I've been managing for four years now. I've experienced a fairly substantial shift in mindset, not perfect, but most of the way to being there. All signs (delivering on outcomes, ad hoc feedback, 360-reviews, career-progression) indicate I'm good at this.

It is satisfying in many ways. It's also much more impactful; as a manager I can do much more to help people and companies succeed than I could as a software engineer. But it is nowhere near as satisfying as being an engineer was.

Go to a conference for software engineers, everyone is pumped up, and excited about what is happening. At a similar conference for engineering mangers you would not find that same level of happiness. I certainly don't go home and read management books or blogs.
