People look at older models as older models, even though they may be good enough and may provide software updates for longer compared to many Android phones in that price range. It also looks odd (to the purchaser) when one is buying something that's a four year old model. Android phones, with the range of hardware differences, don't yield to such simple comparisons, and many of them offer slightly better hardware Year on year at the same price points.

Apple probably needs to come up with newer, refreshed (hardware), low priced models to beat this. But I wouldn't hold my breath on such a move happening.
It's only generally true, and I would say people vary too much for it to be basically true even when just talking about biological imperatives (e.g. The fact that homosexuals exist in the gene pool confound the basic biological imperative you're arguing for).

But lets take what you said as fact - the conflicting factor even here is that humans have a layer over the top of our biological programming, which results in people going against their "basic" interests quite often.

Not everyone does, but many do, and we are talking about humans on that layer - whether that goes against our instincts or not.

It's unclear what Huston means by "real time", but in the comments section he cites the fact that it took 6 months for the misissued Symantec certificates for example.com to be noticed.

That's because the owner of example.com wasn't monitoring CT. Had they been monitoring, they would have been alerted quite quickly. As a case in point, when Certinomis misissued a certificate for test.com, my monitor notified me 16 minutes after issuance, I filed a report with Mozilla two hours after issuance, and a representative of Mozilla responded less than 3.5 hours after issuance.[1] That's pretty fast.

And now Mozilla is kicking Certinomis out, providing yet another example of how CT is improving the Web PKI. CT works.

Ask HN: Wouldn't it make sense to calculate karma on comments, not submissions?
It seems irrelevant and unrelated to a specific user that an article that is picked at random and heavily discussed gives the submitter a large number of karma points while the submitters not 'chosen' but who have contributed in equal measure ( and often earlier than the one upvoted ) receive nothing.

One would think, this being a community, upvoted comments would be a much more useful measure for karma, possibly the only one needed ?
Neighborhood electric vehicles are already allowed on lower speed US roads and are fairly popular in some areas. But passive collision safety will never be very good. Assuming equivalent materials, a larger heavier vehicle will always be safer due to greater mass and thicker crumple zones.

Also, if the Libyan government decides they want to seize the domain of a popular link shortener (like the US government has seized some domains under US TLDs), they can just get a certificate from Let’s Encrypt.

Keychain is a decent enough password manager, but there are some considerations you have to make if you're deciding whether you want it to be your default.

+ It uses Triple-DES encryption. This is probably not enough when it comes to a political campaign. It can be broken with commodity hardware. 3DES has a lot of collision attacks against it, and is deprecated in most software, and NIST consider it to only be effectively around 80-112bits.

+ It doesn't encrypt all your data fields. Only the password or Secure Note is encrypted. Other fields like URL are in plain text, which may leak enough information to be sensitive, depending on what you consider sensitive.

+ However, on iOS, Keychain items are only accessible to the app that generated them, which is a huge plus.

+ It can sync across devices easily, because of iCloud integration, which is great for usability, but with weak encryption means if someone gains access to your iCloud, those passwords may be gone.

I like this style for formulae, though it can be not straightforward to translate into regular text or speech. And in this case there's another issue caused by color-coding: it's tricky to read with altered colors and/or on monochrome displays. Maybe the latter can be solved by using different styles for lines and filling, in addition to colors.
The consequences might be like this (in addition to many other possible forms):

Previously, my little factory spent 100% of the budget for component x and component y on buying from American suppliers (quality and price are both very good).

But going forward, we plan to spend 70% to buy from Americans, 20% from other countries, and 10% to fund demestic research, and we will
reduce the 70% part as soon as we can manage.

You can imagine if multiplying our small adjustment by the actions of hundreds of thousands of similar businesses around the world who are watching closely what's going on recently, then the interests of American businesses will probably be severely affected.

I understand what a franchise is. McDonald's regularly changes its menu, removing items that do not perform. McDonald's franchise owners can run menu items in areas that make sense for them. Hours for McDonald's are set based on demand and largely up to the franchise owner.

There are many examples of franchises allowing flexibility within the brand while still adhering to the brand ideals.

I thought the point of HN is to share intellectually interesting stories and points of view, with karma etc. just being a (maybe) necessary by-product.

I feel your proposition would not affect this goal in a good way.
it fails miserably at chronic ones because it’s treating symptoms instead of underlying causes

I'm not sure if "fails miserably" is the proper characterization. It's just simple capitalism.

Just look at statins. They're something that they want to sell you for the rest of your life. Because statins treat symptoms, they're not a cure. But antibiotics? Just 10 days and you're done.

Hmmm. Which is more profitable? It it any wonder that the US government is looking into how to fund development of new antibiotics? Same with vaccines. The government has had to step in to fund them.
That would depend on how karma is used, right? I'm not sure if it is well known how various HN algorithms depend on karma.
One anecdote (not diet related): Last winter I developed knee pain, which turned out to be an inflamation. The typical doctor's response: rest, inject cortisone and apply warming creams.
After three months the pain was still there. I went to a kinesiologist. She acupunctured the leg (with added electricity) and cupped the knee.
After one treatment (~30 min) the pain was gone for good.

I'm sure modern science can find ways, but those must be taught to doctors too. The doctors I've met in my life only treat symptoms (with chemistry) and rarely have a holistic look at what's going on in your body. The ones digging into a problem are rare breed.

At this point, deciding what is or isn't part of a stable society, is just anyone's opinion. We don't have that much science describing which types of information are making society stable or not, we can't even tell those types apart and we don't have any science showing that living under censorship is better for society. So comparing the popularity of fake news with heroin is a stretch.

I test drove the Nissan Serena e-power (series hybrid mini-van) and having all the torque available is a killer feature. It won't win any high speed medals but to be able to get up to 50kph (30mph) with no drama is useful. Combines the torque happy electric car with the range capabilities and infrastructure support of ICE.

You see this electric motor pattern in a variety of cars. The current gen Acura NSX has the front wheels driven by the electric motors, rears driven by an ICE engine. The Mitsubishi Outlander comes in a PHEV version, with about 50km of electric only range, switching over to ICE as needed.

While I ended up with the Nissan Leaf (battery electric vehicle, the plug in kind), currently about one year of owner ship, I do miss for long distance, at speed, travel of gasoline cars.

My favorite part was on the last page, which I’ll include below as I assume most won’t read to the end.

After 4,000 people died in the army from beriberi, the navy, which had eradicated the disease with better diet, criticized the army’s resistance to changing their diet. The article says:

‘Under attack by navy doctors, the Army Medical Bureau struck back with an article published under a pseudonym. “The army does not need traditional medicine, statistical speculation or 1,890-year-old theories to solve its beriberi problem,” the article stated. “It needs scientific knowledge based on experimental medicine.”’

After this, 26,000 more army men died from beriberi before the Emperor forced them to add barley to their rice...

As wonderful as scientific knowledge from experimental medicine is and has been, it seems this sort of belligerence towards pre-scientific human knowledge causes enormous damage that we’re still continuing to reckon with over a hundred years later. While ineffective traditional knowledge has caused plenty of unnecessary suffering too, it is often unwise to dismiss purely on the basis of having not yet been investigated with modern scientific rigor.

> Overwork is better than no work.

No work is rarely the trade-off issue in Japan. They operate for quite different margins and labor practices than eg the US.

They haven't had an unemployment rate over 5.5% in 40 years. The typical rate has been 3% to 3.5% for the last 30 years - a time in which they've suffered from perpetual economic stagnation and zero net growth. It's around 2.5% right now.

Japan is losing population while simultaneously having an extraordinarily low unemployment rate. Automation is the only path forward, they should be pursuing it with as much vigor as possible. If you're Japan, as your population contracts, the ideal is to wipe out all convenience store jobs and push the labor force higher up the ladder whenever possible.

Don't do it. Customers hate it when you don't deliver clean operating system packages for the platform they run and they consider anything less unprofessional. I'm talking about enterprises and governmental institutions, not web companies.

Think of the consequences: while you might find "Docker" cool, by delivering your software as a "Docker" image, you are now forcing your would-be customers to come up with a "Docker" infrastructure just to be able to run your software. You would create an artificial dependency, because for OS packages they need neither additional software nor knowledge to install and run yours.

One of the roles of the CEO is to be the "public face" of the company. This is literally "the public" requiring Facebook to explain themselves. Demanding that a CEO face up to public scrutiny of a company's operations is well on this side of the line.

The fact that this government is fine with the killing of its own people en masse with conventional weapons is enough for me to say the difference isn’t black and white.
Then the answer is approximately 0%, right? But what does that prove? Perhaps DANE is not ready yet, or perhaps it’s struggled to get adoption because its design is fundamentally flawed; you’re versed on the details, I’m not. But to me that seems pretty orthogonal to whether “adding one more” is good or bad, or whether DANE’s design is fundamentally superior to the CA model as cryptonector claims. Or at least it’s a very oblique way to make a point about that.
I am surprised that this is not suggested more often.

One of my favorite features of Vim is that it completely decouples tabs/windows from files/buffers. In mostly all IDEs I'm aware of, you open a file, and you get a tab to go along with it. In Vim, I have one instance (of Vim) running, maybe just one window if I feel like it, and potentially hundreds of files open, maybe some edited but not saved yet. And all I do it switch in and out which file/buffer I want to view in my one window. (more typically 2-4 panes/windows, and yay BufExplorer for making that easy)
