Customers who bought it loved it. It's an excellent phone.

But it was not popular in terms of volume. If you need any evidence of this, just look for Android phones with a screen under 4.5" containing a Qualcomm 825 CPU or better.

Actually, try and find any Android phone sold by any US cellular carrier under 5", never mind 4.5". This is not just an Apple-style opinionated decision, the whole market has spoken on this.

My honest belief is that people stopped buying small phones when the screen size trade-off didn't save them any significant money. I also believe that some portion of people who are vocal about the inevitable, eventual disappearance of the 4" screen aren't necessarily even using these small phones, but aren't happy about their disappearance out of some kind of principal or nostalgia.

I don't know that any of us would agree to use a 15" 1024x768 display again, even if it was free. I think it's the same concept.
It still doesn't hurt to keep them out of the cockpit, though. Quickly stabbing the pilot to death is likely to at least kill or injure a plane's worth of passengers.
In order to uniquely identify, not a lot of space! A recent paper puts it at 50 SNPs (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5785835/).

Describing your total unique genetic profile would obviously require a lot more space, and wouldn't be constant across individuals/ancestral backgrounds (e.g. there's more genetic diversity in people of African descent).
> Ironically, back when all iPhones were small

People quickly forget that prior to the 6, Apple was getting criticized by not 'innovating' and making larger screen iPhones.
This is a very common phenomena that as Quality Assurance you specifically have to work around when talking to regulators, and there are in fact, white collar cultural norms in place which shape the way most corporations I've worked at talk about potential regulatory risks.

For one thing, if you bring up any questions regarding an issue at all, the preferred medium of communicating it until a decision is made tends to be direct person to person with no electronic paper trail. (This insulates the company from getting caught out by E-Discovery in case of legal troubles).

Secondly, there's the practice I call anchoring. This is where you go to the regulator with a very narrow, refined question looking for an answer, explain why you think it's a good idea, and hope they don't think too much into it before saying yes you can do it. If it works, you have a document stating the regulator told you it was okay when you asked. To prevent this, you have to go to your regulator and give them a high and wide view.

A) What is the problem
B) What are the relevant regulations impacted
C) What additional risks are created with both answers

Businesses can be a bit squirmy when engineering folks start getting too chummy with compliance. I know I've found a good one when I don't get funny looks when asking if something questionable sounding has been run passed Compliance.

Everything I've read in this investigation reeks of anchoring toward the FAA. Especially given the whistleblower testimony as reported in the 60 Minutes Expose on the MAX.

In that setting, the line queue is 30 people long, on average. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Because 5.8 people arrive an hour out of the maximum of 6 that can be served an hour, and 6/(6-5.8)=30, the average queue length is 30.
Cool, thanks.

I don't work in programming but know quite a few people through their contributions to OSS/software, but many of them I don't even know what sex they are, nevermind what characteristics they hold that are minority in their locality??

It seems really unlikely that any personal characteristic beyond your programming ability (and not even that necessarily, UX/support/bug reporting/etc.) could inhibit you from contributing to OSS?

I mean so people look at pull requests and say "does this smell like curry to you?".

Is it a genuine issue?
About 7 or 8 years ago, the city of Cambridge publicly celebrated the opening of an innovation plaza next to the Kendall Red Line stop. They had sidewalk plaques of innovators, some of whom were on hand to accept the honor. Kapor was one of them. I can't remember what he said, but what did stick with me was a respectable group of Lotus alumni who showed up to applaud him, many wearing Lotus jackets or other company attire. It was like a cult - they were obviously very tight and loyal to him and the company, even though it was long gone by then.
It's a poor definition of capitalism that equally well describes barter and gift economy.
>Yes, 17% of these users are using the 4.7" screen, which is what's in the 6, 6S, 7, and 8.

Of which users? Of all the users in the set, 47% are on 4.7" phones, if I counted correctly.

Definitely agree the popsocket helps manage a larger phone. Though I think total screen size matters are much as case size. It affects where your thumb has to reach.

Total case size matters more for the pocket than for holding it, as users never grip the whole of the phone at once.
Thanks! I'm still working on getting the dovetails perfected. Like a lot of things, they require practice. While I usually get them right, if I haven't cut any in a while, they often come out a little rough until I get my hands used to making the right motions again.

Really perfecting them would mean getting them both accurate and fast. I definitely need to cut a few more to get to that stage, and do it regularly to keep it there.
What data centres can gain from innovations in Space
You could provide evidence that the statement is outrageous or mistaken.

Technically, the burden is on the parent to explain themselves, but that's always true and readers are capable of assessing the comment and its (lack of) evidence without a content-free two-word demand from you.

See Rob Aley's comment above for a better approach.
Right, but he seems resistant to recognizing the valid point that some people really do have it better because they're white or whatever.
Good catch! As I’ve been reading all these comments about small screens and cheaper prices I haven’t seen much discussion of the newest market for this: wearables. Now that apple has said you can buy a fully decoupled watch with cell service I may save $600 and just buy the next version of that instead of a new phone that I think is too large and expensive.

This is a great article and while my startup didn't make it past 5 members the advice in here is solid.

On shirts (and swag):

My startup had a mascot at the end and I wish we would have had it upfront and had stickers.

It may seem trite but it's even documented in books like Managing the Unmanageable (or might have been Peopleware) that Apple made shirts for projects. When I worked at NatGeo we made internal swag for our project.

For me personally, living in a world of intangible software, stickers and shirts give me something physical I can hold in my hand. Something I can wear or point to and relate to what I'm doing.

On not knowing what you're doing:

I think the best people I've worked with are very intelligent and curious and do great work for things they don't understand because they ask a ton of questions to learn it which helps lead to epiphanies. It doesn't always shake out that way but with a group of motivated individuals it is so rewarding.

On everything being temporary:

Leaving design / trends aside and looking at our code-- our engineering-- this is absolutely true. For any devops engineers out here reading this: repeatability helps a TON. It's so much easier to migrate from bash scripts to RPM/Deb and from RPM/Deb to Docker. Or from [Puppet|Chef|Ansible|Salt] to [New Flavor Of The Week]. Once it's codified in some way it's so easy to move it forward. Automation == repeatability == freedom.

On people are everything:

Please, please, please don't hire smart jerks. Great, you're smart, you can program in 10 languages and worked at a FANG. If the team doesn't want to sit next to you and work with you on a project I am hoping to shape my life, my future and my family's outcomes 8+ hours a day (even remote) it's going to spoil the whole bunch.

I could go on and on for each section. I loved this article. Y'all will certainly find parts you disagree with but on the whole it is great and very applicable.
Comparing Mobile Machine Learning Frameworks
If I can't one handed text and not have to slide the phone up and down in my hand to text I don't want any such phone!

My two and coming up on 3 year old iPhone 8 suits me fine. It also has Touch ID, which is a better UX then Face ID (grab phone with primary text hand and boom it's unlocked before seeing your face).
For anything more complicated you can also get very far with simple python programs that read one line at a time and output some transformation of it (which might include turning one line into many to be piped into sort etc)
It is easier to train the technology than the business. Understanding the business and it's needs is usually more valuable than a tech stack. I do not see that being mentioned at all.
A refreshing read, honestly.

> The distinction, in this case, is that's it's NOT about using an existing forum for something. Web pages do not come with comment sections by default.

But social media does. And so does a lot of websites that use either wordpress plugins, Discus, or other sites.

And nothing I cited requires a comments section to be made... But when it is, there's precedent for forcing whomever's running it to make way for political speech when politicians are stumping and talking there.

> It's like requiring a shopping mall to build a stage for people to have political speeches on. I feel few people would say free speech is infringed upon if every mall doesn't build such a stage.

The very act of having a floor in the private mall was enough. You don't need a stage. And even gathering signatures for a political reason is reason enough. Seriously, go look up the Pruneyard rule. You can try to derail it with 'whatifs', but that is precedent.

Intel about AMDs Competitive Profile
We could segment it into

( Note: The iPhone SE is 4", not 4.7" )

4" ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ - 11%

4.7" ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ - 47%

5.8 / 6.1 " ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ - 18%

6.5" ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ - 23%

‏‏‎

But it it important to note this is iPhone distribution for Pedometer++ [1]

‏‏If we look at other source of Data, Such as MixPanel [2] which has a much wider collection of Data. Their Size Distribution.

4" ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ - 6%

4.7" ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ - 39%

5.8 / 6.1 " ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ - 25%

6.5" ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ - 30%

‏‏‎

And unless the App or Mixpanel is extremely popular in Asia ( Excluding Japan which we are known for preferring iPhone 4.7" Size ), this is excluding vast amount of people in that region where Sales Data suggest they vastly prefer iPhone 5.8"+ Size.

And given the 3+ years lengthy iPhone replacement circle, the data doesn't really shows or suggest whether the 4.7" user are holding out because they have no newer 4.7" iPhone to choose from, waiting to make the jump into 5.8/6.1" iPhone, or my guess would be iOS 12 with i6s up are good enough for vast majority of our daily task, and they are holding it for even longer.

Note: Apple currently has 900M Active iPhone User base, and is trending towards 1 B sometime in 2020. Even a 10% usage base prefer 4" is an 100M unit opportunity. Of course that is assuming those users really want a SE Size phone and not buying it because of its price.

It appears that Berkeley didn't actually do what they claimed to do, though, if you go back and review what they did. In fact, at this point in time I'm pretty much convinced that they were just providing a "false front" - pretending to be skeptical about the situation when they actually weren't so from the beginning. At the very least they used the same questionable data and the same (or similar) algorithms that the other groups were using.

As I believe I've already commented about in this thread, a few years back I did something of a "deep dive" on temperature data, paying particular attention to the temperature records in my own area. What I found there at the time was appalling, and even if I go check Berkeley right now what they show there appears to have little or no basis in reality.

Search my comment history for where I go on at some length about Berkeley (BEST) and the problems I see there. I suggest that you follow the links and go check out some things for yourself.

(Forgot to add) When I reviewed local temperature records myself, dating back to 1870 or so, I did indeed see a real but modest warming trend. But it was nothing like the warming which showed up after you got finished "adjusting" the data, which the climate folks routinely do.

As to deep ocean temps and such, lately those folks have been claiming to measure temperature changes on the order of 1/1000th of a degree per year, if not less. Now I don't know about you, but that just strikes me as BS on the face of it - more "statistical noise" than anything else. There are also claims made about ice melt and such, but if you do the math (the amount of ice claimed to have melted vs. the amount of ice still sitting there), you see that it falls within the same type of range - not even rounding error, just "noise".
It was a great read and certainly aligns with my take-aways from being at a startup from day 1 as well as joining other startups at early and late stages.
What does anyone mean by "trust employers" or things like that anymore?

Do you trust you'll get a paycheck? I generally do.

Do you trust years of "that promotion is coming"? If it is years then you've got your answer, it's not about trust.

Leaving for higher pay isn't about "trust" IMO, it's just an option that you take or don't.
I was thinking something a bit more simple like a smartphone with a directional mic and opencv could work - at least for getting an idea of the scope of the problem. Put one on each side of a two lane road and you could probably get accurate results.
It depends on the program. Some are voluntary. Some are “voluntary” with the prisoner receiving time off their sentence in exchange, which is effectively punishing them by imprisoning them longer if they refuse. Some are just outright involuntary.
I'm still on a Z3 compact (4.6" screen, 5" total height) which I use single-handed quite a bit. Decided I would never buy a phone above 5" size, with 4.6~4.7" being my ideal preference.

My hands are (to my knowledge) average size, maybe a slight bit on the small side.

Really wish more vendors made high-end smartphones below 5"... (I previously used a Z1 compact, and before that a Nexus 4 - loved both.)
Thank you. If you ask me, the post's url should be changed to this. A lot of us don't have Facebook and block all FB connections.
> His specific anger is at the notion that members of minority groups suffer THEREFORE members of majority groups do not suffer

Yeah this is where his anger comes from, but perhaps he's being a bit too sensitive. He doesn't seem to recognize the validity of the idea that some people really have it better.
Do you mean inviduals should ask people, or reporters should do surveys?

It's a privilege to have access to people able, willing, and trustworthy to share their Facebook salary data.
That would make sense if other people's suffering was equal to my own. But its not, their problems are dramatically easier to solve, ameliorate, w.e. Not to mention, being aware of someone elses problems does absolutely nothing to help them, it might make you more depressed, but it sure as fuck wont HELP you.
I don't know the history, but considering the incentives, I'd look first to EASA for Boeing, and first to FAA for Airbus.

I can't tell me if you're being sarcastic or not, but I'd also challenge anyone to find literally any Android phone at any price currently for sale at a US carrier or MVNO with a screen size at or under 4.8 inches.

Small phones are most definitely not popular.
interestingly Hyperlocal wasn't in my dictionary ... i used to promote this project as something that could help in local shopping ... but then i discovered hyperlocal and i saw the concept is quite similar !

like y4mi pointed out ... there is a wikipedia article on this word https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlocal

I started promoting this project only recently ... lets see how it goes !!

In countries like India and even other parts of the world ... lot of small business --- mom and pop stores are losing business and not able to compete with bigger stores, malls like walmart ...

This project was just an attempt to help them ... may be just technologically ... so that they could compete and stay technologically competitive with big business !

Document Review and Approval: How to Get It Right
Visualize how the cost and duration of the construction site have tripled
Agreed. Problems like this compound like there's no tomorrow.

As someone who lives somewhere that's very blue collar and works somewhere very rich and white collar the difference is incredibly stark.

Where I live you see the signs that some people have problems, people living out of cars, the occasional mobility scooter avoiding the potholes on the sidewalk, houses will go unrepaired for long periods of time you stand in line to check out at some store and there's fat people, the cashier sounds like she smokes a pack a day and you can't tell if she's 30 or 50, the police don't blink twice when someone's smoking weed in public or rolling a stop in a rusted out 30yo shitbox, people bitch about not having enough money for all the shit you have to do in life, Walmart is just another place to shop.

Then I go to work and there's not a single car over 15yo sitting in the gridlock, there's women carrying brand name shopping bags and out jogging on the sidewalk, ever lawn is meticulously maintained and every window and door is cleaned daily, nobody smokes, nobody is overweight, nobody has regrettable tattoos, nobody is carrying beer while riding a bike, bored cops feel the need to check out anyone who dare drive something that's economically out of place through the wrong neighborhood on a weekend (the help don't come on Sunday), people bitch about other people using plastic straws and bags, Walmart is regarded as someone you don't go if you can avoid it, etc.

What bothers me isn't that the urban wealthy (definition of wealthy to include upper middle) don't understand the problems the urban and rural poor (no, I don't live in the boondocks, I commute in from a small rust-belt-esque city) but that they act like they do and that they have all the solutions.

Yes, because it surfaces the opinion that the claim was outrageous, which it wasn’t.

Subsidising fossil fuels in a time of overwhelming evidence for the need to curtail carbon emissions is outrageous. Suggesting a political talking point might have a gotcha, with a request for correction, isn’t. Unless of course you have evidence to the contrary, yourself. In which case: could you please provide that?

But where does one begin to identify the parts of life where a checklist would reduce cognitive load?

In IT, some cases are obvious (such as deploying new releases). However, if a process is so repeatable that you could have an accurate checklist, then you could probably automate the process and eliminate the need for the checklist.

I would love to know what parts of my life I could relegate to checklists so I could free my mind to focus on just the things that I excel at...
