Not really. The top of the line android doesn't even really try to copy apple anymore. Some copy it because they can't just have the old "huge bezel at the top" design anymore, but eg samsung leaped above it with mini-bezel and then infinity-o, and xiaomi is going for under screen tech.

And it is guaranteed that Apple will move to under-screen too once it's mature. The notch was a stop gap, no matter how used to it you think you might be, it's still a screen waster. Though with Apple's "we made that choice so it was right we won't go back", I wonder if they will ever go to an under the screen fingerprint sensor now that it works well. As great as face unlock is, they are many times where I want to unlock with my phone on my desk and fingerprint is superior, I was glad to recover it on my S10+ after 2 generations of missing it (scanner being backside).
Would be cool if there was a single publisher on the app store who devs could dump their free apps with and would then aggregate/split the costs between all the devs involved.

Walled gardens for extensions is also a big problem. Maybe web browsers will finally be forced to give up that control because of all this. Personally I would like at least user freedom to choose extension stores for themselves.
This is certainly not correct. One does not need to eat organic foods to be healthy. I'll add that not everyone has in season fruits around. I live in Norway. Do you know what is in season during January in Norway?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Doubly so if you aren't eating animal products.

I'll add that avoiding all animal products has its own perils, namely the sort that results in vitamin deficiencies. And while a diet filled with whole grains and mostly plant-based foods is considered healthy, we simply don't know enough about nutrition to have one way or another. Or even to get vitamin doses right. I say all this while eating mostly vegetarian myself. I eat fish about once a week. I don't like it so much, but it is healthy.

I think a practical guide might be to look at the groups of people who live longest, such as in Japan and Greece. Some factors off the top of my head include strong community, moderate exercise, a simple diet - mostly veg and some fish and low pollution.

I really hope full screen coverage (and later foldable) phones will lead to smaller high end phones again. Even the Galaxy A class phones have become massive. And anecdotally, starting last year a lot of my friends that upgraded their phones have started to complain about the size. So I hope the mainstream has found its limit and the manufacturers will react.
There's also immediate benefits, like helping to alleviate some of the current issues with our mass-produced food chain, eg less concern w/ salmonella in your romaine if you grew it yourself, higher quality eggs and meat if you control what your birds eat, etc.
>I become aware of this while on my friend Ford Fiesta as he enabled some features which were not available even in the most expensive model.

As someone who has owned a Fiesta, and worked on a Ford auto assembly manufacturing line, I'd love to see some evidence of this. What features are you talking about? Because, having actually built seats for Ford, I know that they explicitly did not include heaters when they were not ordered. It was trivial to just not include the part; the assembly line was designed that way. You simply grabbed one cushion set vs another. Most auto manufacturers are actually concerned about margins and costs, so these things matter.

My question is that whether the U-shaped curve found here is caused by similar phenomena as the J-shaped curve previously found for alcohol. That is, for alcohol, individuals who drank no alcohol tended to have disease or be recovering alcoholics, and so that association made it seem that drinking no alcohol was less healthy than drinking some alcohol. Here too, is it possible that having low cholesterol is associated with individuals with disease? We don't know what caused different individuals to have low TC here.
The dark side of this is, what if it's not economical at all to service these outlying customers? What if the cost of retrofitting those lines is greater than the total future amortized profit from servicing those customers during wildfire conditions?

I don't think there's a law on the books requiring that everyone have access to electrical service (like there is for, say, USPS service).

Maybe beefy solar setups with battery banks and ability to run off-grid will start becoming the norm there. It is California, after all; it's a great place for solar. Heck, it might easily be cheaper for PG&E to subsidize the installation of these systems vs committing to maintaining all those lines properly in perpetuity.

What is wrong with Mumble? https://www.mumble.com/
In general:

Eat a varied diet, leaning towards plant-based foods. Whole grains if you can. Don't unreasonably cut out whole categories of food. Being vegan is HARD, vegetarian (or mostly so), not so much. Watch the sugar, including the fake type. Eat your calories instead of drink them.

Also, get some activity. Walking for 15 minutes daily is better than nothing, but try to get more than that most days. IF you can have fun doing it, great! If you lack motivation, do something on the easy side as it is easier to talk yourself into. It is better to this half-assed than not at all, after all, because it still counts.

Keep an eye on stress as much as possible. If you smoke, try quitting (I suggest a vape or e-cig). Drink in moderation, but do have some coffee.

Once you get these general things done, you are well on your way.

I agree that the all out media blitz is ‘interesting.’

I read that out of 35 close European and Asian allies of the USA who have been pressured to not do business with Huawei, only 3 of them are cooperating with us. I am all for having secure infrastructure but the flip side is that we seem to be conditioning our allies to not cooperate with us. Long term, this is not good.

> Pretty much every company making anything thinks they are useful and they want to tell people how or why in order for people to buy them.

I find that hard to believe. Companies do what is likely to make them profit, which sometimes involves doing things they surely know is bad for people. Cigarettes are still advertised in many countries; do you really think that the cigarette advertisers seriously think their product is useful?

If anything, I think you're more likely to get advertisements for the products that are relatively bad for people, since when your motive is to do good for people, you're less likely to oversell your product. It might be fine and well for this dynamic to resolve itself in a critical forum like HN, but when ads for random products are just thrown out to regular consumers, the rational thinking about how useful a product actually is will be minor.
Isn't AES-256 safe from quantum computers? I thought it was mainly assymmetric encryption that's completely breakable with quantum computers.

This is really great content by A16Z.

It shows how complex building a Fintech in US actually is , often due to how many different partners you will actually need to depend on.

In this specific case , you would need to have each partners offer an API that you could call to automate the mortgage workflow.

Obviously , due to the nature of the financial sector it's very likely those partners don't have those APIs and don't want to build them because they are sitting on a very profitable business and have no plan to change that anytime soon.

I can draw a comparison to Airbnb , where most of their jobs wasn't so much to build "disruptive tech" but to lobby local administration to let people rent their appartement to individuals , while hotel industry was lobbying the other way around.

It becomes even more complex when you realize you'll have to do this at global scale to build a unicorn.
How is that the moral of the story? If anything, the government sponsored entities are artificially lowering interest rates which you can use to borrow, so it makes sense to take advantage of that cheap credit.
I’m saying that employers might be making that judgment when deciding not to hire a more experienced worker who interviews/tests the same as a less experienced worker. Same way a ballclub might invest in a rookie OF hitting 0.225 where a veteran with the same stats would be passed over.

I’ve not found age to be a good proxy for capacity or capability; I know exceptionally good (and many poor) coders at every age range I’ve seen in our field.

As for “looking for a job”, that’s a normal thing. Most experienced candidates will have a network to help, but moving to a new area or new field is also normal and hurts networking effectiveness.

You can buy an SDR that'll output reasonably clean RF for about $150 - an Adalm Pluto, a LimeSDR Mini or a HackRF One clone.

The barrier to entry to radio has never been lower, which is very much a mixed bag. A lot of people are doing really stupid, really illegal stuff with cheap radio hardware. Quite aside from the legalities, it's just bad manners to splatter all over the RF spectrum. Listen to the bands, get yourself an amateur license, learn to build a lowpass filter, then press the transmit button.

Something to remember: One-Time Pads are unbreakable, and as storage costs continue to drop, there are certainly many scenarios where they could be used and never cracked.

Think about it. How much actual secure data do you and your bank need to transfer back and forth? Certainly not web UI elements or site chrome. For each use of your online account, there's probably 3 or 4k max actual data that you need to be secure. Your bank could mail you a 1GB random noise file, perhaps a backup, and you two could communicate for the rest of your life without any fear of anybody understanding what you're saying.

I understand that there's an entire e-commerce ease-of-use scenario where secure communications becomes mission-critical. And I'm certainly not suggesting to replace all secured comms. My only point is that there are parts of this problem that are very tough and there are parts of this problem that we have made more difficult than it has to be simply in an effort to standardize and abstract everything.

Breaking Up Google and Facebook Won’t Solve the Real Issues Facing Tech
Mounting the camera behind the screen could create eye-contact in video chats.

That's the biggest difference between video chat and face-to-face conversations, and it creates low trust.

And while xiaomi isn't the first to achieve that[1], xiaomi is a consumer company, and their price point is very affordable.

So i hope they target this problem. they could be very successful, with good implications(environmental, social), hopefully.

I have audited over 200 Chinese companies in the semiconductor industry. Our entire process is different for China than for say a German or Japanese firms.

IP theft is rampant in China, especially in semiconductor sector.

Apple follows similar stringent selection process for their Chinese suppliers.

This isn’t racism, please don’t accuse my intent and motive. Let’s talk about Chinese practices, their laws (or how they bend them) and how these companies have a tremendous involvement with the Chinese government.

I have many Chinese friends, some amazing stories of people in China and have immersed myself in the Chinese culture for over 5 years and spending 400 nights in Chinese cities. Your accusation is uncalled for. Criticizing a country isn’t racism.
2) Branding, logos, cutesy characters, etc.

3) Trying to hack my brain with dirty tricks, lying-with-technical-truth, pseudo-enthusiastic actors, psychology grads thinking they are clever. Worse if they actually are being clever.

Branding and logos help you recognise something. If you are going down the road and like the look of a car, the logo lets you know what it is. You know something is disney if you see Mickey's ears or the castle. Same with slews of other things. Not everything that has a logo is something that is advertised to you specifically. Alternatively, they help you figure out if the product is real or fake. Government seals, for instance, help with this. Overall, they let you know something about a product/company (in general) without spending as much thought to do so.

But tricking the brain is more... On the low end, your example of giving "morals" to car companies or specific cars. But consider, for an instant, that toilet paper used to advertise, "Contains no splinters!". This was technically true, but the competitors did not produce splintered paper either. A current example is a vitamin commercial telling folks, "might help reduce medical condition!" when there is no science behind it.

Well depends on what your threat model is.

If it’s criminals stealing your passwords then it would take decades after QC until it would become universal enough to be a problem, by then likely current traffic would not be affected.

If it’s state level actors then you might be in a bigger bind.

If we take the NSA for example today there isn’t a single cryptographic system they can’t compromise.

And I’m using the term system intentionally as the NSA can’t break 4096bit RSA or AES or any other competent cipher.

They can and do break cryptographic systems on a daily basis by compromising the hardware, software and people which the system relies on.

But this is a very targeted and costly operation which means that general internet traffic isn’t looked at because it’s not worth it.

However if they also capture encrypted traffic and store it indefinitely as most key exchanges today are not necessarily QC resistant they could potentially go back and decrypt all that traffic.

This is why while the house is not on fire I think there is value in pushing post-QC ciphers sooner rather than later.

And even if the NSA can be kept in check we have little control over Russia and China and the list of actors capable of operating at large enough scales for this to be a problem grows bigger every day.
