I guess that's why it hasn't been done. Like too many things people are much more concerned with making money than making things better, so we just keep building on the same pile of garbage we've had since the 70s.

I'd hardly call Redox serious, it's a "research OS" with no explicit goals to actually be useful.
If you decide to continue renting solely due to the artificially low price, isn't that hoarding? The tenant literally sitting in the item (living in an apartment) like the man who kept renting a 6-bedroom apartment for $300/month has the power to exclude, and a hoard that needs defeating. Is rent control a good tool to fix hoarding?
Mostly Bing.
I'm no gwern, but here's how I do discovery. To find a page on the internet, you need to hand a search engine something that can be reasonably expected to be on that page. So if you want to find an interesting film blog, you should not use that as a search term, because you'll find lists of blogs, not the blogs themselves. Rather, you should probably use the titles of interesting movies.

There are many ways you could seed that search, but as totally-not-a-movie-buff I decided to check IMDb's list of lowest rated movies [1] and chose a title further down the list (The Wicker Man), on the theory that only dedicated people would be talking about movies that are bad, but not bad enough to be the worst. Searching for blogs (as identified by inurl:blog) mentioning "The Wicker Man" [2] does turn up a few promising results, like [3].

Fusion Tables was never widely used and was always a beta product.
The situation was awful. I had a battery that was chronically failing (shutting down with 40% battery day after day) and Apple wouldn't even let me pay for a new battery if I wanted to, because their old battery health tool couldn't identify any problem. They refused to take my money under any terms! I had no choice but to use a warranty-invalidating third-party repair service (which did indeed resolve the problem).
You're absolutely right. But my comment was more about how people used to dismiss everything those groups said, but it turns out a lot of it is right.

> if you separate Costco's business into the purely discount retail sales part, and membership fees, the former runs at a modest loss, the company makes its money on the fees.

But this is at least a bit misleading, because in the separation all the costs of running the business, plus the cost of goods sold, is counted on the retail side, and the memberships are treated as just freestanding revenue. Part of the cost of running the business is associated with memberships.

>Their actions are much preferred to the alternative.

Fitting a sufficiently large battery in the first place?

Apple have developed a chronic problem in recent years - stripping out engineering margins in the interests of aesthetics. Fraying MagSafe cables due to inadequate strain relief. "You're holding it wrong". Touch disease and bendgate. Stuck keys because of wafer-thin tolerances on the butterfly keyboard. Macbook CPU throttling due to a marginal thermal solution. Pitifully poor battery durability on EarPods. Display flex cable failures on the MBP.

The minimalist aesthetic has long been a key part of Apple's brand, but they are crossing the line from "minimalist" to "inadequate" with increasing frequency. It's working, for now, but it's eroding their reputation for quality. I've been recommending Macbooks to non-technical users since 2006; I can no longer do so in good conscience, because of the very high price of an entry-level machine and the high probability of a major failure.
> And the Facebook example. Nobody paying attention expects a VPN service (or even Tor) to hide their identity if they login using their real name. That's just stupid.

A lot of users care about privacy, but have no idea how computer networking works. It's hard for these users to understand whether they're private or not. If you don't believe me, check out the tech support and recommendations over at old.reddit.com/r/vpn -- there's clearly a lack of knowledge about VPNs and computer networking. Probably once a week, someone will ask "How did [paid video streaming service) know I was using a VPN?" Or "X country can only spy on me if I have a VPN in that country, right?"
It's Apple's Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter that amazes me. That little $29 thing is a full PCI-e device --- there is a PCI-e interface and a FireWire chipset built into the housing. And the little cable has a huge number of individual cables inside of it.

Several years ago at DEFCON the badges had LEDs but also had IR LEDs, as well as an IR sensor. I wanted to write a program to flash the LEDs, but wanted groups of the badges to synchronise their flashes... It was harder than I thought, and I never did come up with an appropriate solution, though I think about it from time to time.

AIUI the home button was by far the least reliable component left on the phone and the biggest driver of AppleCare support for non-accidental damage.

The problem was so bad that it became an Asian cultural thing to turn on the accessibility feature that gave you an on-screen home button control and to use that exclusively, literally never touching your real home button, because you needed the real home button to remain intact for when you wanted to sell your phone later.
The SV salaries are why you're seeing platform B2C companies lead the pack and build full engineering teams in the Bay Area. For many B2B, especially in non-platform markets, building hybrid teams (or building completely outside of SV) with Founders in the Bay and scaled operations often outside the US.

As an example for NFLX with $2.2M revenue per employee ($15.8B rev / 7,100 FTE) if they could save $150,000 per employee it's only $1B to the bottom-line. By hiring "the best" and keeping operations as simple as possible paying more per employee may actually be financially better for them too.
I don't think that's a completely fair comparison. Oceangoing drilling is dangerous and hugely expensive. Many many lives have been lost on North Sea rigs (as well as entire rigs, costing hundreds of millions of dollars.)
How is it a ticking time bomb if all of the tests pass in that package?
The battery was sufficiently large to start with. Then normal wear and tear caused the battery to be weaker. That’s fine. Throttling on a weak battery is sensible imo. The inexcusable part was that the throttling was silent. If there had been any sort of notification then it had been good design.
The idea that the elimination of the 3.5mm jack has anything to do with waterproofing is a complete misdirection, as evidenced by the list of waterproof Android phones with USB-C and 3.5mm jacks.

Also, any modern phone with bluetooth is just as capable off running airpods or any other wireless headphones whether or not it also has a 3.5mm jack.

Lastly, eliminating the 3.5mm jack has nothing to do with making the phone thinner either. My jackless iPhone 7 is actually a few mil thicker than my older yet nearly identical iPhone 6 which has a 3.5mm jack.

If you financially modeled the deployment of each: set aside the tech aspects of solar and nuclear, and just take empirical data points and cost trends from past solar and nuclear projects, modeling how the finances of each come together as well as the pool of parties willing/able to finance projects, I think you'd find the pure financial/project bandwidth available is several orders magnitude higher for renewable than Nuclear.

That only works on the 2 or 3 buttons that are hard-coded to support it and doesn't work in the general case (it can't work in the general case because it's literally just a long press, which already does other things).

Personally, pushing on the flashlight or camera buttons with 3D touch actually feels really satisfying, because it really does feel like I'm clicking a button even though I'm just pushing on my screen.
Disclaimer: I am not a graphic designer. I am merely a programmer with an
interest in well-crafted, understandable, and readable text. So, read this as
an outsider rant rather than an informed opinion.

Black text on a white background can be harsh on the eyes.

I have to disagree about the problem here. Black text has been fine since the first printing
press. And if you do want to make a page less in-your-face with regards to
contrast, then it would be much better to dim the background.
After all, the paper we read is mostly this grey-ish, yellow-ish colour.

The accent color can be complemented with more subtle shades, to be used on
borders, backgrounds, or even the body text.

The colours they've used in the syntax highlighting just made everything a
confetti explosion. I am not against syntax highlighting, but it shouldn't be
this colourful, unless you give every identifier a computable colour to make
misprints more noticeable.

Since text is the main content of a webpage, using a custom font gives the
page even more noticeable identity.

Not a big fan of @font-face. Another host to visit. Another asset to download.
My fonts are fine. If I have the font you like, then great! If I don't, please
make it look reasonable with system defaults.

I agree, but I found the first half much more useful (so far) than the last half. The second half was honestly a little overwhelming it what it felt like it was assuming about my capabilities. Less of "this small change or some slight variation will help a lot" and more "use your design experience to choose something visually pleasing here", which honestly, the lack of such experience is why I was reading such a guide.

> I mean, if you owned an apartment that could rent for $3000/mo, then keeping it empty is a direct reduction of your income by $3000/mo.

Not realizing potential profit is not the same as losing money. If I own an apartment that costs $0 to maintain, then not renting out that apartment costs me nothing. It's not "cripplingly expensive" just because I _could_ rent it out for $3000/mo. It actually has zero impact on my income, and I could stay like that forever.

The cost of keeping an apartment empty is only the amount it costs to maintain it.
I can think of a few reasons. Primarily, this is easily embed-able. Not everything is a web-app/service.
> Neither will catch issues like using a subnet that doesn’t exist [...]

The CDK does: you’re either explicitly bypassing the safety checks, are explicitly importing a value (which necessarily is validated at runtime), or have to provide a subnet definition to instantiate the relevant object.

You then use these programming language constructs to implement higher level ideas like applications, fully in a programming language.

@scarface74 We have three projects. Here's how they may be helpful to you:

1) Serverless Framework

The Serverless Framework enables you to provision serverless applications in a Function + Events pattern. Using this, you can accomplish the patterns you're describing, and hundreds of thousands of people are doing this already with the Framework.

https://github.com/serverless/serverless

2) Serverless Framework Enterprise

SFE works with the Serverless Framework to give you more than development and deployment convenience. SFE focuses on other phases of the serverless application lifecycle, like monitoring, alerting, security, collaboration, secrets and much more. It's a powerful solution for teams and orgs investing more in serverless application development.

https://serverless.com/enterprise

3) Serverless Components

This is a new take on serverless application development. We've learned the serverless community and teams are looking for ways to deploy and share composable architectural pieces (features, use-cases), more than infra. So we're building a new type of provisioning system to enable this. The Realtime Application Component is an example of this.

https://github.com/serverless-components/RealtimeApp
The question neither this page nor the GitHub answers is... why? I understand a lot of corporations did their own fonts to escape font licensing. Is there fonts the government is currently licensing and trying to get out from under? Where will I see this font? Is there a reason other open source fonts weren't already adequate?
https://coincircle.com/l/HTgyczkpcY
Maybe, but probably not.

They were pretty clear that the battery throttling on phones with old batteries was to prevent the phone from shutting down under high load.

I'd argue that 95% (maybe higher?) of the public and the press don't understand this and still believe Apple was throttling the phone speed to force them to buy a new device. You even see this on HN a lot where people should know better. Bringing attention to it may just have caused the bad media response earlier.
Mapbox Doing a Google Maps?
6 months ago, Google Maps increased their prices 10-15x for general usage, so we switched to Mapbox and have been happy. Their sales rep just contacted me saying that prices are going up 8x (!) on April 24th, from $0.50 per 1000 requests to $4 per 1000 requests. Have anyone else seen this?
Being 10× more productive doesn't always feel like being 10× more productive. It can mean spending two days on a project which, seven years ago, you would have spent five days planning out, two days implementing, and eight days debugging; or you would have spent five days planning out, eight days just beginning to implement it the wrong way before someone pointed out that there was a library that already did what you needed, and then two days implementing the actual solution. It can look like half-assing things that need to be half-assed and thoroughly solving things that need to be thoroughly solved, instead of thoroughly solving everything. It can look like writing unit tests for your code that find the stupid bugs right after you write them when it's easy to fix them, instead of spending a bunch of time debugging the whole system when you do an integration test. Conversely, it can look like having less unit tests and therefore less code to change when you need to change something.

In the original "10×" study, some programmers were never able to finish the assignment at all (within the allotted time); probably they either couldn't figure out a workable attack on the problem (like Ron Jeffries on Sudoku: http://ravimohan.blogspot.com/2007/04/learning-from-sudoku-s...) or they wrote their code as cleverly as possible so that debugging it was beyond their ability. The 0.1× programmers in the study were the ones who almost didn't finish in the time that the researchers gave them. Presumably you can think of problems that you know how to solve now that you didn't know how to solve in any finite time seven years ago; presumably also you've learned how to avoid introducing bugs that you would have introduced then, costing you, again, unbounded time to diagnose.

Or maybe not. Maybe I just learn slowly. I've certainly worked with programmers with only a few years of experience who were better than I was; maybe they'd already hit their performance ceilings. But I doubt it.
