Do you have the "performance management" feature disabled? (aka cpu throttling for battery issues)

A few years ago this was always-on, If you disabled it now, this would be a difference to your first battery experience.

(just a guess though, I don't have an iPhone)
Interesting... sounds like a side deal with the Saudi sovereign fund.
At which point should we start to call it neural internet?
If that's true Apple should replace it for you. Check the battery percentage. I've anecdotally heard if it's draining unusually fast they'll replace it free of charge.
The iPhone SE is the smallest smartphone that gets security updates, of any platform. (And in 2010 or so it would have been bigger than any smartphone not being called a "phablet," so it's not so much that it's small as that it's the only reasonable-sized phone left in many people's opinions.)

If Apple's historical support practice keeps up, it'll remain in support until late 2020 or 2021.

Also with things like high contrast, high zoom level or increased font size, etc
Cyber Security is not Very Important [pdf]

That sounds more like there's another hardware issue with your phone than it sounds like a systemic issue with Apple.
Interesting article about some of the mechanics of DNA and evolution.

But I wanted to call out a confusing use of the increasingly ambiguous word “partner” here: “There, she and her partner, Arthur DeVries, studied the notothens”.

What sort of partner? Research partner, clearly. Oh, but with some googling you can find that they are married, so also romantic/life partner.

I appreciate the sentiment behind the takeoff in the use of this phrasing, but it inevitably leads to confusion in communication. Can we come up with a better word that is not so ambiguous? And if not, can we (or at least the editors at places like The Atlantic) try to clarify what sort of partner when the meaning is ambiguous?
The talk died down because it became a standard way of doing things now. It isn't something special anymore and the tooling has evolved to make it more seamless.
That leaves users wide open to the quintillions of security issues with older Android which will never be patched, though.
> JAWS + IE is the most popular combination

It's worth keeping a few points in mind when reading these results:

1. The survey was carried out in October 2017. Things can and do move quite rapidly in this area, especially given the increased number of users who will be running Windows 10 now who may not have been back then.

2. IE won't be around forever, and once the accessibility of Microsoft Edge improves (which is likely to happen pretty soon when they adopt Chromium), IE will become less and less relevant.

3. NVDA with Firefox is a much more common combination than JAWS with Firefox, primarily because the NVDA developers recommend it. Freedom Scientific (makers of JAWS) have historically pushed IE perhaps more than other browsers, so it will be interesting to see how that changes as Edge becomes more usable.
Try 11 Billion in revenue
Do you have a suggested alternative? Personally I love scroll to zoom on maps, find it a really natural action.
Waste heat must be radiated away, though thermodynamics would be quite content if that radiation is anisotropic.

For example, consider a perfectly insulating black box with small hole. Observers on the opposite side from the hole will not observe any radiation from the interior of the box.

I don't think there's any physical limit on collimating the outgoing radiation to hide from everyone outside a narrow beam. It's "just an engineering problem".
Learning how to use chess engines and making use of them for training is actually a huge tool for chess players.
There are lots of ways to render beautiful, unobtrusive UIs that are difficult to emulate. For instance, a Retina-detail polished metal button would be readable and look good but it would be non-trivial to recreate (unlike our current login dialogs that could practically be recreated in MS Paint). It would be especially secure if it included personal information, e.g. an etched-in-metal appearance of your full name.
Well shit.

I bought an iphone 7 this year and was planning on keeping it for a while. I did find some issues when searching the internet for iphone 7 problems, but my wife has an iphone 7 plus from when it came out and it's still working flawlessly.

Is there anywhere I can look before buying a few years old iphone series?
Uber's strategy right now is to maximize horizontal integration across as many markets as possible. They're leveraging cheap credit and an infusion of private money (mainly from Middle Eastern investors looking to diversify their portfolios) to expand as quickly as they can in local transportation.

This growth, combined with their subsidization across all their products, is producing huge near-term losses. However, I think it's a prudent investment. Uber needs to solidify its moat in an industry that offer little in terms of differentiation beyond price. By trying offer as many services as possible, Uber's trying to make itself the go-to hub of local transportation, and in doing so, start to change its role from a dispatch middleman to a full service transportation platform.

And so, I think in the years following IPO, we'll slowly see them reduce their efforts for horizontal expansion and slowly turn the lever back towards profit. This will happen slowly and differently across markets, with price rises starting in regions they have the strongest foothold, but will slowly trickle across all markets. The hope for them is that through this rapid expansion, they've bought enough leverage to raise prices without losing too many customers.
They’d have to collect fuel from somewhere…
Hosted https://github.com/Yelp/dockersh might fit your requirements to a degree.
In many other apps (e.g., web browsers, Office apps) Control+Wheel is used for zoom. Any modifier key with the wheel would be fine.
Cash in this sense means they're not giving away equity of Uber's cap table as means to finance the acquisition. Where the cash comes from is a different story. As the parent comment suggested, this "cash" is likely levered with outside capital.
If you want to use vastly more energy than a portable fusion reactor can provide, the nearest star is probably the best place to get it.

Hi Magnetic. Quentin here, one of the co-founder of ManyPixels. Many thanks for your comment, super useful insights.

We have already jungled around of idea of moving to some kind of pay-per-use system while still keeping this a subscription model and will make sure to experiment this in the future.

$XX/mo for 10 tasks would be a solution pr $XX/mo for 100 credits (1 landing page = 3 credits, logo = 2 credits) are 2 options that we would like to consider later down the line.

Thanks a lot !
That $50b figure is not their revenue, but their gross bookings.

For example Uber's last quarter revenue was $3 billion on some $14 billion in bookings, with a loss of about $800 million.
You can still have success in the tech field for sure... but now you're going to have to work extra hard for it unfortunately. The consequence of your felony is such that you need to stand out even more from any potential competition, more so than if you had a clean record. But hey, the only direction you can go now is up.
It would take just under a year to accelerate to the speed of light at 1g. This doesn’t significantly change the four year number.
Alas there’s a lot of people out there claiming otherwise, gaining publicity and raising money off of this quite common misunderstanding.
There's an article I read recently on this very subject. Apart from social networks, it argues that even a platform like Airbnb is much stronger because the network is broad by design, with travelers coming from far away.

Most of my reading about this was in Russian, and I don't remember the exact sources that were cited there. This particular stuff was mentioned kinda in passing in a broader conversation on evolution of human behavior, as an explanation of how it could get so complicated so fast. But searching around, it looks like there are some very specific papers on it - e.g. this looks interesting:

http://www.unm.edu/~gfmiller/new_papers2/todd%201997%20biodi...

"This paper presents theoretical arguments and simulation results in support of our view that sexual selection creates new fi tness peaks (and thus new niches), helps species escape from
old local optima to find new, better peaks, and promotes speciation to increase the number of lineages searching for peaks."
On the other hand, his kids might have a better chance at using their gifts better. Not that failing a PhD program will put you in a bad place economically (I'd say it will put you in a worse place though) but having a stable job and enjoying other aspects of life is good too.
As an additional comment for people coming across this thread in future and anyone else it may help. Please make sure that your accessibility tools are high quality, as you would when assessing any other dependency or service used in the development of your product. In particular, they should always assess the rendered DOM of any page, rather than a string of HTML. And if they make bold claims about the increased accessibility of your website once their recommendations are followed, or try to sell you some ridiculously cheap consultancy services, stay away. Whether you buy their consulting services or not, if they're too cheap, their tools probably are too. And if they tell you that automated testing is a route to complete usability for people with special needs, they're deluded.
You'd be able to fix the Clock app if your phone was Jailbroken. There's a system for modifying existing apps called Cydia Substrate, and it's very robust.

For simple modifications, there’s also Flex, which doesn’t require any programming! Flex provides a list of variables and methods, and lets you to override them with whatever value you want. I changed setSwitcherStyle from 1 to 2, and now I have the iPad’s “grid” app switcher on my iPhone.

iOS software isn’t inherently inflexible. Apple is just preventing you from modifying it.
The iPhones 4 looked like high-end cameras, not cell phones. I still think it’s the best-looking set of phones anyone’s produced.
For anyone who complains that they are free alternatives such as Qalculate for plotting purposes, the value in having the Windows 10 calculator support plotting is that it makes it ubiquitous on fully-updated Windows 10 systems, available without any additional software installations that may or may not be allowed in a corporate environment.
That ship already sailed when Apple introduced the concept of "locked" phones.
Off the top of my head, I can't recall running into this anywhere I've been in the world (excluding the US) in the last few years. I carry a beater Android phone when I travel and I often swap it in for my iPhone in situations where I'm afraid I might lose or damage my phone (or it might get pickpocketed) and it's usually a seamless process with local prepaid SIMs.
This is a good article for deepening the complexity model of the brain, but mere physical structure and behavior of subcomponents of neurons is only a tiny piece of the puzzle. To understand the workings of the brain you will also need to add in the complex interactions of hormones and other chemical agents in the brain and throughout the nervous system and the feedback loops they establish with the other systems of the body and through them, with the external world.

Neural networks of neural networks doesn’t begin to describe it. We haven’t even scratched the tip of the tip of the iceberg in understanding this stuff.
I've made this video about the Pinterest IPO filing and product journey
It's interesting how little of this strategy involves providing a better service. But I don't think they're alone or even special from this perspective (e.g. similar to the rise of Microsoft).

I think the prevalence of "business strategy", as opposed to product/service improvement, in the growth of corporations, warrants much more scrutiny than it gets. After all, corporations should serve society - how do strategic mergers, acquisitions, lobbying, PR do that?
I think this is unique to you. Click + drag to pan and scroll to zoom has been the way maps work for as long as I can remember.

Having the scroll wheel move in y with no scroll to move in x just seems...weird.
Largely for travel: the iPhone XS (at least) supports one physical SIM _and_ one eSIM, so you can use the physical SIM with your primary carrier and then sign up for temporary eSIM packages while travelling to keep data without exorbitant roaming fees.
OP probably doesn't need those stupid circle graphics that make reading the article title impossible to read.

As far as I can tell, a spinbox interface is not appropriate in any circumstance, even when your semantics are unambiguously numeric. This is mentioned in the article too: "Dammit! I wanted to buy two pairs of socks, not 39."

A spinbox only makes sense if you don't care what the value is, such that any two nearby values are exactly equivalent. And that is what the W3 guidance you quote says:

> Getting a credit card number wrong by 1 in the last digit isn’t a minor mistake, it’s as wrong as getting every digit incorrect. [And that's why a card number field should not use a spinbox.]

This suggests to me that the real problem is the idea that "type=numeric" means you want a spinbox. You don't ever want a spinbox; there's no reason for any attribute to give you one. But you frequently do want to restrict the input to numeric characters.

Mouse-adjustable low-resolution analog values have their own widget, the scrollbar. If you somehow find yourself wishing for a spinbox, use one of those.
Both metallic fuel and salt fuel are not suitable for geological repository. Salt fuel may be stored in salt mines, but unproven. More R&D is needed for geological disposal; but, the point in having metallic fuel or salt fuel is the ease of separating fission products and reusing fuel, not geological storage.

Iodine:
Not 50%. It is a probability range. "Thus, of the order of one-fourth to one-third of the iodine has not been adequately accounted for."

RE: "but recognize that it is also a proliferation disadvantage"

MSR without reprocessing:
MSR can be as hardened as anyone wants. Because of liquid fuel-form, MSR can be sealed tamper-proof. Fuel goes in and nothing comes out during operation.

Safeguard scenario in case of maintenance:
By design the fuel will move to drain tank when shutdown for maintenance. IAEA can have the keys for the drain tank. Fuel can't be pumped back without the presence of IAEA inspector. If someone tampers this, license will be cancelled and the country will have no electricity.

MSBR with reprocessing:
How easy separation of fission products from denatured liquid-fuel can be a proliferation disadvantage? It is actually a advantage because fuel always stays inside a tamper-proof system. ORNL attached a "add-on" apparatus for fluoride volatility, and fuel always stayed inside MSRE building. This is actually an advantage.

As material science improves, MSRs last longer and longer without need for maintenance. Safeguards will also become less frequent and less expensive.

I strongly agree that MSR needs a chance. MSR graduated with excellent results with MSRE. MSRE has answered most of the questions and raised very few new questions. MSR should be given a suitable employment like process heat or medical isotope production as soon as possible. We can scale it up for electricity later on.
ASCII art before ASCII was a thing!
I think the counter-argument is you can drag-and-drop to pan the map (a Google Maps innovation) and so scroll-wheel was used with a mouse to zoom in (a “wow” feature from back then). But this is all very 2005, mouse-centric. It makes more sense when you consider Google Maps went full screen in a redesign — which lets them behave more like a game or interactive experience than a webpage. I remember mapping scroll wheel to switch weapons in more than one game—scrolling in games isn’t something you expect to do with a scroll wheel. That said I get frustrated easily on mobile when I zoom in or out in a map and I don’t mean to. It’d be nice to have a little “Undo” button/bar appear for 10 sec just to make life a bit easier.
Developer uses Google Cloud to calculate 31T digits of pi
I would agree, my city has seen two arcade bars open up in the last year or two and both are incredibly popular. VR is cool but neither one of them has one, here the draw is usually some type of craft beer tie-in, one has a serve yourself bar (with a carefully selected draft list) and distributes electronic cards to track your tab, and the other one has a micro-brewery in the back.

They're located close to and serve as a really natural extension of a typical craft brewery scene, where people bring their kids and dogs to the breweries for the day and eat/drink/hangout for hours. Having games around just gives you a reason to stay longer, now there's something for kids to do and it's not purely an alcohol consumption event.

It's not like D&B where you're on the hunt to win tickets and prizes, they're actually focused on stocking games that are fun. Who wants to hang out and play legal gambling simulator 2019 when you have all the classics and name-brand modern stuff to choose from. Playing NFL Blitz 2000 is a shitload of fun and I'm willing to blow a lot of quarters proving to my mates I'm the undisputed champ. Same with DDR/Mortal Kombat/Crazy Taxi/Pinball/Skiball and all the other stuff they stock. Nothing like the games mentioned in this article.
I will add another anecdotal hearing to this, because they did in fact replace an iPhone free of charge for me a few years ago when the battery was draining too fast. (And also a MacBook Pro battery, back in the dim forgotten era when such things were user-replaceable.)
They only need to not want to waste a star's worth of power, or a galaxy's. That's what happens while you do nothing. "You need to take care of your star, or it gets all dark and icky" within a few billion years.
And yet 40 years later the AR15(M16/M4) is one of, if not the best firearm platform to have ever existed. It is really interesting to see to follow the sorted past of such a successful firearm.

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

An early paper with interim results from the RAND HIE concluded that health insurance without coinsurance "leads to more people using services and to more services per user," referring to both outpatient and inpatient services.[5] Subsequent RAND HIE publications "rule[d] out all but a minimal influence, favorable or adverse, of free care for the average participant"[6] but determined that a "low income initially sick group assigned to the HMO... [had a] greater risk of dying" than those assigned to fee-for-service (FFS) care.[7] The experiment also demonstrated that cost sharing reduced "appropriate or needed" medical care as well as "inappropriate or unnecessary" medical care.

Approximately two years after the lottery, researchers found that Medicaid had no statistically significant impact on physical health measures, but "it did increase use of health care services, raise rates of diabetes detection and management, lower rates of depression, and reduce financial strain."[4][5]
I am not affiliated with RedHat in anyway, but you can set this up very easily on your own with Cockpit by RedHat. Its free as in beer and libre as its under the LGPL licence and gives you basically full access to the machine via a gui. You can view statistics on disk usage, network usage, processes, etc, and can also connect to a terminal in browser with full sudo privileges. Any changes you make in the gui are immediately reflected in the terminal and vice versa. I don't use it for large scale deployments, but its perfect for managing personal systems. I even have a docker extension set up on it and I can search and set up docker images right there from the gui. Fun and easy way to test out new software
I have open ssh installed but it doesn't seem to contain a terminal program. It just provides ssh in cmd/powershell.

There are lots of +EV (expected value) opportunities in many house favored games of chance including slots and video poker. It's pretty simple. The house edge is x per game. Many games have a jackpot that adds a fixed value per hand. When that added value exceeds x it suddenly becomes profitable to play the game. That doesn't mean you'll earn money after 100 or even 1000 plays. But it does mean that as your plays approach infinity, so does your wallet. In effect the role of the house and the player swaps. Normally the house wins in the longrun, but can get wiped out in the short run. If you consider the jackpot the house's money (which it isn't - which is why this does not matter to them), then suddenly it becomes the case that the house may wipe out players in the short run, but will lose money in the long run.

In any case the point here is that variance is brutal when you're talking about edges that come from rare events. But if you enjoy playing the games, then knowing you're doing so at an edge is even more enjoyable. And it's also a fun little thing to work out on your own for those that enjoy math.

This is all an aside on "slot experts" and other mathematical games of chance. I've no idea about coin pushing stuff or advantage in those sort of games.
If you have a forced vacation period, your employer is auditing your emails/drives/devices. It's perfectly understandable that they search your work assets regularly (and randomly) as espionage happens. They probably mentioned they would do this at some point long ago.
Is this anything more than a vanity exercise and waste of electricity? We're not going to learn anything. It's already been proven that pi is irrational. There's no value in more than a few digits; we went to the moon on 3.14 and could traverse the known universe on a couple dozen digits.

The first few times someone computed a large number of digits of pi, it was mildly interesting. This has no value whatsoever to anyone.

Arcade games aren't controlled by a gaming commission like slot machines. There's nothing to stop one of the engineers who works on the machine from putting in a tell for themself and then exploiting it after work.
