Apple Card - How it works
Researching how to dispose of a body is only research. Intent is the key word here, the rest is your defence lawyers plausible deniability argument
If we are splitting hairs over 'a second' and 'effortless' (when effortless still means you've got to make sure it's nicely lined up, if we're talking about actual products here), then surely some kind of in trouser charger is even better. Why should I spend seconds rifling through my pocket, to find my phone to charge it?

With a dock you can see if the message is even worth responding to. I don't need to respond to that text from my bank, and I don't have to waste multiple seconds picking my phone up to discover that.

A charging mat goes on a flat surface that ends up attracting clutter. A dock with phone in doesn't, so when my phone does beep, I don't have to go rifling under paperwork to find it.

So to me a charging mat doesn't seem like the obvious slam dunk you seem to think it is.
Suggestions:

- Weekly/Fortnightly/monthly delivery. I want a way to say to an old friend "hey, lets keep up with each other every fortnight.

- Offline mode. I want to be able to take 5 letters to a park near my house, turn off wifi, and just write with a clear head.
Smell represents an entirely new approach to medical diagnosis and in the next decade god knows how many tests we'd be able to develop using this approach. I am truly excited!

There are whole industries helping you spend that money, sure, but does it really make you happier? I strongly doubt it.

Many people are perfectly happy without enjoying the excesses of extreme wealth, as long as they're not threatened by poverty.

Perfect alignment, or any alignment for that matter, is not necessary. Check out adversarial networks. CycleGAN can be trained to do similar feats in image domain without aligned inputs. Shouldn't be hard to adopt it to audio.
Because people think in terms of responding to stimulus. It is a lot easier to see pain points and to say, "I don't like that" because the problem is concrete. To describe something in terms of what you want, you've got to do the work of imagining something new -- and thats hard.
Would be quite rare for a patent dispute to go on behind the scenes. There were a lot of leaks suggesting mass production was due to start. I would bet production did not start, and that early production runs had low yields due to the complexity of the product.

multimeters of this sort cannot accurately measure such low voltages and amps

That's an interesting point. I've used similar multimeters for many years and was not aware of that limitation.

But for this particular design it would be trivial to determine both the voltage and the current to within about 1% accuracy.

V = I * R

Most of the voltage drop is across the 24 megohm resistor string. Measure the voltage across that, and you get the current flow, since you know the resistance is nominally 24,000,000 ohms. Most voltmeters have an impedance in the 1000+ megohm range, so measuring across the resistors won't introduce much inaccuracy.

The resistors themselves appear to be 5% tolerance. But by measuring the resistance of the string (open circuit) with the multimeter you should be able to determine their actual value to better than 1%.
They aren't dinosaurs though.
> Researching how to dispose of a body is only research. Intent is the key word here...

Intent is a tricky thing to prove, it requires knowing the state of someone's mind. Until we have mind-reading devices, there is no way to know someone's state of mind with complete certainty, so we necessarily have to rely on circumstantial evidence, including what someone said, wrote, and yes, researched in the past.

Researching a grotesque topic is by no means proof that you committed a grotesque act, but it's definitely a nugget of evidence.
What is even more confusing is having UI elements that don't work as you expect (not interested, dislike button etc).

The search on youtube is also completely broken, I have not monetised any of my videos and the penalties for that makes it so that if I search for the exact title + my channel name the video will show up on something like page 5.

Also, complex != confusing. You can have very simple UIs that are confusing as hell if you're not used to them or you need a specific issue. I usually have trouble helping my mother on her iphone because I'm not used to it and it has absolutely no guides or help functions if you can't find what you need. Usually it's a "magical gesture" that is documented on some obscure web page.

I think we all owe a lot to Debian. I know there are a lot of high quality distros out there but most silicon valley companies I know use either Debian or Ubuntu which is ultimately based on Debian. It is just that one never consciously thinks about Debian and Ubuntu as non-profit services they've been using unlike for example Wikipedia. We should change that!
Typescript usually transpiles to javascript, just without the type information, and this is not done in the browser. If you target old browsers it can add maybe add some overhead like babel does.

"without any context/intonation whatsoever"

I grew up with that usage, I coped very well with that usage. If I'm talking with my 12 year old mates saying "wow that's well bad" it is obvious what I mean. If I bake a new cake recipe and ask you to try it, and you neutrally reply "that is bad", what am I to infer from that? Not "wow that is well bad", or "that's bad ass", or "mmm that is one bad cake".

You are right that this doesn't stop you from going on other feeds. If you google for "SelfControl.app", "ColdTurkey", or "Freedom.app", you will find tools which help you block those other feeds. Things like this are a crutch: a tool we use to get around in the world and solve problems despite the fact that our bodies are imperfect.

I have a disability where I find it hard to read text which is far away. Its the sort of thing that could be a real problem in my life. However, I've got a tool I've been using since age 8 to make that much, much easier to deal with. Would it be better if I wasn't dependent on this piece of technology? sure. But I don't live in a perfect world and refuse to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If you have a similar condition and find to focus long-distance, I encourage you to use my solution. You can find it by googling "inexpensive eyeglasses".

There may be some people for which my advice is bad.

But otherwise, these are lessons. If you don't focus, and so get nothing done, you'll learn to focus, by saying no to some things, even if everyone tells you they're critical.

Conversely, if you focus too much on one thing, do it excellently, and fail at other things, which I've done, I've learnt to do things to the extent needed, not more, as opposed to building a car with the world's best engine but no steering wheel.

This has just been my experience. I respect that it may not work for you.
Yes, this is a reason I avoided wireless as well, but Samsung have a wireless charger with a fan in it which pumps the heat out. I've used it over a year and never felt my phone even being warm when charging.

There's an edge case in the GPS spec that only comes up every 20 years. It's well-documented and everything, but it only comes up every 20 years and software is terrible, so not every GPS unit is going to handle it well. Last time this happened, GPS wasn't nearly as widely used.

I would expect some percent of phones to flip out (try force restarting, or waiting a day and restarting). Which ones are a mystery - the GPS chip in a phone isn't even consistent for a particular model.

I wouldn't expect planes to fall out of the sky. I wouldn't be surprised by flight delays though; just because the safety critical stuff is well tested doesn't mean the rest is.

And the errors aren't going to be confined to April 6th. We're talking about software bugs here, and it's dealing with a number that counts in weeks. So while bugs should center on the 6th, anything within a week of that is pretty plausible too.

(I wrote the GPS tracking algorithm used for navigation in Google Maps. Nothing above is based on Google-specific knowledge. It's still just someone's opinion.)

When are they going to cancel the touchbar?
Apparently it did cause positioning issues last time around. One major problem was that GPS receivers calculate which satellites they expect to see in the sky based on the current time and the almanac+ephemeris data, and at the wraparound some receivers started expecting all the satellites to be where they would've been 1024 weeks ago and completely lost lock. I think there were some problems caused by individual satellites wrapping their counts slightly before the actual GPS time too. Receivers which are started up after the 6th should be fine though.
Even if I kind of agree in principle, what you are asking me is to trust what the provider claims it will do with this data. It’s an industry that I just do not trust, even if I had the appetite to do the due diligence which I don’t. Even if I knew the guy and was convinced he had good intentions, he might still get hacked or acquired and the data used some other way in the future.

Therefore I expect my blocker to block a 3rd party tracker which by definition has the capability to track me across websites. It makes that kind of tracking technically infeasible which is the level of protection I want.

» I loved my Nexus 6 but I doubt I could still be using it still today so I am impressed. Can I ask what your reasons are for not having upgraded it? I generally upgrade my phones bc of the battery but this time I hope to just get it swapped out in a year or two.

My main excuse is I got it a year after it was launched on a black Friday sake so I want it to last one more year.

On top of that I got to use a Samsung Galaxy s7e for almost a year in 2017.

Mainly, it was probably that I didn't want to spend the money. I can make the excuse that I an saving money toward a new desktop computer but I've been giving myself that excuse since before ryzen launched so I know it is just an excuse in telling myself.

My main use apps at the moment k9 mail, Google voice, slide for Reddit, and Mozilla Firefox. The camera on the Nexus 6 is horrible for current year. Perhaps I'll finally get a new phone this year. Perhaps if xiaomi releases the poco phone F2? 4Ah battery sounds nice.

That work was all in the context of searching for a binary string with a mask.

I am not sure that the offset in security is that small. The assumption, that your servers will only be evaluated month later doesnt hold true in most cases. Attacking running machines quickly does happen. If your threat scenarios are little green men, they are unlikely to just shut down your server and haul it to some dark room to interrogate later. They will of course try to get the key from a running system, but thats also something you should most definitely have in your threat assessment.

edit: blue men*. Forgot that green police uniforms are an outdated local thing.

Your comment reminds me of one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

This world in arms in not spending money alone.

It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.

It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population.

It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals.

It is some 50 miles of concrete highway.

We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat.

We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.

This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking.

This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

Talk with a startup-savvy attorney. You’ll learn more about what’s called “minority shareholder oppression.” Googling for that phrase and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareholder_oppression will turn up a lot more and some examples of it in the wild.

The typical recourse is litigation in the state where the current entity is formed. That litigation would also probably make it difficult for the new entity to raise.

A typical first step is for your attorney to write a letter to the company, board members, and majority shareholders to inform them of your concerns as a minority shareholder (before they make changes). Hopefully this avoids litigation.
