Where were you going that you didn't have GPS coverage for 30 miles?

GPS coverage works even without Network/WiFi coverage. I find it very, very unlikely inertial tracking using iPhone inertial sensors would be accurate up to 30 miles.

Could you provide a source please on the fact that iPhones use inertial navigation for predicting location (either public or private apis)
How many people do you know running Mastodon nodes instead of using twitter or facebook?

>For people who lack the expertise or will to roll their own infra then they can use something like Apple ID.

SO 99.9% of the population. It's a nice sentiment, but for what apple is doing to work (random username generation, and identity obfuscation) the only way for it to work is strength in numbers, that the Apple userbase of people who will only use frictionless sign in, becomes too big to ignore, and to tempting too left uncourted.

>It seems like it would be _safer_

Im not sure I would say safer. Depending on millions of people to keep their software up to date hasnt historically worked super well for Windows and Wordpress. One central authority patching all its services and 24/7 devops sounds a lot safer than trusting millions of self hosted OAuth servers to be up to date and not compromised. What percent of people who have non-self-updating home routers, do you think go in regularly and press the update firmware button?

He kept you fed, he kept you save, until he was no longer useful. If it has no skin colour, and the difference is all in the head- one could obviously not term this a race. It has to be visual, to be a acceptable concept.

“In mobile, a good first step is to open up the app stores and allow the browsers to have the same access to the operating system as native mobile apps.”

Yeah no, I don’t want just any website to have native control over my phone. That’s just asking for trouble
> How one rationalizes Chrome to be more "anti-trust-y" is contrary to logic.

IMO it was not Chrome that was the problem as much as:

... the way Google has rammed it down the troat of the Internet

... the way Google keep sabotaging other browsers from the server side (yep, ask the Edge team about YouTube or Firefox users about GSuite)

... the way a number of developers has picked up these bad habits and forget (or "forget") to check their sites in all browsers

... and of course the bait and switch they are playing now.
Intel’s public roadmap has been highly unreliable. They’ve been delayed by years, and that was before the recent vulnerabilities were discovered. I’m not convinced about the value of their roadmaps.

That being said, if you were only allowed to pick one platform to sell to your customers, in a machine which should last years, then Intel would definitely be the safer bet. It’s also the platform most of the software providers are likely gonna optimize first.
The following was somewhere else in the thread:

How is he being mistreated specifically.
It would be weird for a mustache-twirling villain to give most of their source code to their competitors, hence allowing them to start out compatible with nearly every website on the Internet.

(With a bit of DRM needed for video, so those competitors can't be pure open source. But still, it's not going to stop Microsoft.)

The article admits to this, then kind of ignores it.
Oh, never mind. Went back to check, and apparently I visited these profiles through Chrome and not the app.
It looks like that's not true.

How dare you or anyone to tell low-income individuals that they don't need to be flying.

How dare you dismiss the problems and stresses of an impoverished life no matter where an individual lives.

And how dare you suggest that individuals be compelled or coerced by authority to relocate to a place not of their choosing.
A little bit = but personally happy to see a website for the language - there are a lot of implementations out there now ,so its good to have a source point.

If you have not read the books they are a really good practical introductions to building interpreters and compilers.
In almost all physical stores, I agree. But in my city (yours may have one too), there is an electronics recycler that rebuilds computers, installs Linux, and resells them. They won't be the latest machines, of course, and may not meet your needs, but it might be an option.

I would say that I buy around 90% of my computers from them.
They have been a premium company for decades.

So not sure why you think they will suddenly change.
Why do they resort to hexadecimal usernames instead of using the entire alphabet for shorter names?
I don't want to be needlessly cynical but it seems more plausible to attribute all that money being spent because the elites don't want to interact with the homeless, rather than out of compassion to the homeless.
I'm not sure how to ask this without it sounding anything other than genuinely curious, but it is: why would you spend money on a calculator app? What does it offer that other (free) calculator apps don't? Are free apps just so crippled that you need to pay for something full-featured and/or without something like ads? I'm not familiar with the iOS/iPadOS ecosystem.
people complaining about the price and comparing hardware specs tend to forget that the price incorporates running the world's best operating system with a visual ui. although hardware spec's might not always be too impressive, it needs to be considered that the macos can actually max these out as it's purpose-built for the hardware it runs on which is not the case for most of the windows/linux systems.

and no, i'm not an apple fanboi, but think that the products are pretty solid.
The problem is you have an authority deciding what supposedly is fact and what is not fact.

From my experience, it’s mostly that all cars drive at about the same speed. In Germany, you typically have to change lanes constantly because the right lane is mostly trucks going 80kph while on the left lane you have people coming at you with 200kph and their lights flashing.
It's not nitpicking. I spent a little time after I wrote this fact checking more, and i didn't edit to include the other clearly wrong facts in this article as a way of being nice to the author.
Also, because i won't have a lot of time to be on HN today, and people take no response as a sign of "no good argument" instead of "not gonna spend all my time on a forum".

There are plenty of issues here to go around here. Go, try to verify facts yourself.

[1] This is wrong. "Mohan then served as SVP of display and video ads for Google for 7 years, " Then, as in, the 7 years after the doubleclick acquisition. That is wrong. He was not a VP, SVP, or in charge of display and video ads.
He was in charge of one thing for a while, got promoted, and 7 years later, ended up SVP as both.

This shit matters.
You are trying to argue essentially they could have just deleted this paragraph. Which I doubt.
They are trying to make the point that this person has been a super senior person who has been doing this role a long time who should know better, and they simply haven't been.

If they want to make a correct and weaker argument, awesome, they are welcome to do that.

You don't get to just gloss over it.

This vent is uncharacteristically ugly for an Apple product. I have a hard time believing that this sphere pattern is really optimal for performance. Maybe optimal for minimizing the number of machine operations required to produce it... Those holes are just comically large.
It's always confusing with this administration whether some actions fall under one of 1) "Trump wants it" 2) it's a fairly normal shift in focus that probably would have occurred under most R administrations or 3) it's just someone at the given agency doing their job as best as possible.

I mean, there are ample reasons to have a good hard look at some of these companies, but with all the blatant corruption and stupidity from Trump and company, it makes you wonder.

>> It seems evident that Apple views the "pro" market as movie studios, large corporations, and media entities that need serious computing power.

If Apple is going to price out people who had purchased Mac Pros in the past (the lowest point of entry for the new model is -double- the price of the lowest late 2013 model), I don't really have a problem with that group complaining about the price.

For that particular group, this new Mac Pro wasn't worth the long wait at all.
You can tweak the balance between fixed and usage charges though.

I've lived places where the fixed amount of my water bill was maybe $10-$15/mo while a unit (~750 gallons) of water was about $5. My current home, at the other extreme, has almost $90/mo in fixed charges while a unit of water runs about $1.

Not nearly the same incentive to conserve water but I am much more confident that my city will still be able to service the infrastructure 20 years from now.

It specifically says "PS4" and "Xbox One S" controllers.. I hope that just means "Bluetooth" and they're not doing some exclusive BS where only those two specific controllers will work.

I have a 30$ 8BitDo Bluetooth controller (that works on PS4, Xbox, Switch, Windows, MacOs) that I'd love to just throw in my travel bag with my iPad when I'm on the road.
If I showed it to my mom, she still wouldn't know what was up. The genius would be in to make the UX frictionless and disposable addresses the default. Let's see how Apple executes this. They do absolutely pull UX stuff off from time to time. So, that's there.
> By doing like firefox, making money out of making google the default search engine. Which means their unique source of revenue (and client) would be google. Full circle...

However, a Chrome-with-Google-revenue would be far more independent of Google than Chrome-the-Google-Subsidiary. Mozilla/Firefox has shown that it's still possible to advance privacy even within such an arrangement.

Also, its far from clear who would have the most power in such an arrangement. Without a popular browser of its own, Google will be forced to pay the browser vendors to stay the default, unless it wants to give a search engine competitor a chance to unseat it.
What kind of customers is PlanetScale going after and how does the product compare? This seems like a very niche product.
Yeah the pricing for the base model is insane. You can get a more powerful PC with 4x the storage for half the price.

And you're right about Nvidia. I also stream on Twitch, was hoping I might be able to get one of these to replace my current PC. Without Nvidia there's no way.
I really hope they introduce a Semi-Pro display for those of us with existing MacBook Pros (I think my 2016 can only push a 5K) who just want a successor to the Thunderbolt Display. I'm currently using a Thunderbolt Display as well as an LG 4K display. While I like the high resolution of the LG, the quality of it is garbage compared to my Thunderbolt Display. The USB-C port works at best 5% of the time, and of course it stopped working after the warranty period.

Nonsense. iPad has had "iPadOS", since the iPad-specific features like Split View landed in iOS 9. This is just Apple communicating more formally about that strategy with its userbase, and increasing support for iPad-centric workflows.

Consider that most of the iPadOS features shown are refinements of or much-asked-for enhancements of existing features:

- Multi-document Split View

- Slide Over app switcher

- Network share and external media support in the Files app

etc.

[edit: props to snazz, who corrected me on the iOS split view release.]
There are very few common identity factors available for these companies. I'd almost be willing to have the US Govt develop a "medical ID number" specifically for this purpose.

That is a poor justification against proper water pricing. Very few people are in a situation where higher water/sewer rates would impact their survival. On the other hand, if you set water/sewer rates very low for the sake of that small minority, everyone else gets a huge windfall, paying much less for elective water use than they should.

Estimates of long-run demand elasticity are over 0.5: http://www.allianceforwaterefficiency.org/uploadedFiles/Reso... (p. 3). That means say doubling water/sewer rates could reduce demand significantly, while raising revenue to address maintenance back logs. The effect on the poor can be mitigated by, e.g. regulated pricing for the first X gallons per month.
I know we all said that we preferred the cheese grater to the trash can, but I don't think anyone meant it that literally.
From what pics I've seen, it looks the circles are arranged in a triangular pattern. So there are your triangles. (One of my most eye opening realizations when I was in engineering school was that just because something does not superficially look like something else, doesn't mean they're not functionally similar. My particular realization was with four bar linkages, which is another fun structure to know about.)

Also, it looks like there's at least two layers, so it very well could be a 3D structure and not just a flat panel.

So, all in all, I'd say it probably counts as a space frame, though I'm not part of the Space Frame Police, so who knows.
Not F360 that I'm aware of, but for 3D, 3DS Max, C4D, and Maya both support GPU-based rendering using CUDA, which can be a big performance boost. On the video side, Premiere Pro, Vegas, and AVID tend to have better support for CUDA as well. However, AMD support has been catching up in the last couple years.

Sure, there are examples of failure. Are they significant examples of the model being bad? Any system with thousands of examples is going to have a few failures. It doesn't mean the system is bad.
