You could say the same thing about any CDN - Cloudfront, Fastly, Akamai, etc.

Is it right to say that the only reason Cloudflare is the forefront of this concern is because of their business model of offering the CDN for free, while the others have a much more limited free tier or service or none at all?
Let's not pretend that Apple doesn't charge HUGE premiums for memory/storage.

For the iMac Pro it's $400 to go from 32GB to 64GB of memory. High end memory is around $140 for the same jump. "High performance" - it's the same 2666MHz chips.

Storage? Samsung NVMe prices are around $300 per TERABYTE. Tell more about the high performance silicon Apple is using that is worth $800/TB.
interesting move....they are like a whole new financial system where millions / billions of $$ are flowing from all the online/app transactions to the new financing thing they did and not the card...
I'd venture a guess that solar/wind/storage would have significant gaps in availability in this scenario. The economics of battery storage solutions scales really badly as the length of the gaps they need to fill increases. Not only does the capital cost of batteries increase in proportion to the runtime required, the utilization plummets due to longer gaps being less common and predictable than shorter ones. I can easily see it becoming uneconomical to provide a reliable electricity grid. Unfortunately, one of the other anti-global-warming measures that's being pushed for in this timescale in at least some European countries is switching to electricity for heating.
Is Pitching for Scaleups Different to Pitching for Startups?
you tell the hiring manager that you want to do that and make it part of the hire. If you're in town you do it a separate day.
Why would Uber necessarily reap outsized benefits from self driving though? In my mind, "ridesharing" would be even more commoditized, with price and safety being the two main factors in consumer choice.

>Uber and Lyft do a whole lot more than what you described on the scale of millions of concurrent users in dozens of countries.

which is my point. There's no use in engineering and coordinating something that organises itself. The utility of a centrally managed service needs to be balanced against the resources it costs to run the operation.

Taxis actually don't spent as much time sitting around as you think, traffic organises quite spontaneously, drivers know where to wait and downtime is usually quite low. Which is why it is so difficult for Uber to make a profit, the efficiency gains compared to the engineering effort that goes into them are miniscule, which is the disease of all centrally managed systems. The Soviet planning buro managed millions of factories which sounds impressive, it doesn't mean that they were any good at it.

If Uber would realise such huge efficiency gains in organising rides the result would either be higher wages than taxi companies or lower prices, which would make them instantly profitable, no billions of subsidies required.
What are the steps into getting there? What are the biggest roadblocks - scientific or political?
Before we worry about taking care of employees for life, how about we first fix stagnating wages? Companies are still making excellent profits, some are at record profits even after inflation adjustment. Skyrocketing CEO pay is one of the causes. Please see graph in Figure 3:

That is what I thought until upgraded from 7 to 10s. Difference in photo quality is 4x.
Waterproofing could perhaps be the main feature, the 6S being the last one who didn’t get it. I also wonder if they increased screen durability, with all the shots of phones getting into purses against keys etc.

Also I feel the camera is getting slower as time goes by, and I already replaced the battery.
yeah haven't tried that yet outside of using blog platforms like Blogger (yes I'm that old haha) or Medium so don't have additional analytics implemented
definitely is but I've found that if the manager wants the hire (esp post the company deciding to move forward with an offer), then you have leverage and this is a very sane ask.
Sum of three cubes for 42 finally solved – using real life planetary computer
One presentation today made a big deal about "able to record 2 video streams at once (among the 4 cameras)".

Capture rate for multiple streams is one problem. Storage space is another, solved largely by the seamless iCloud integration; get an unlimited data plan or Wi-Fi connection, and the imagery will all just migrate off the device until needed wherever.
People say they expect more, but what, exactly? Do people still expect more from a laptop? They're laptops - they've not changed in 15 years. They just get faster, smaller and more easy to break. Phones have caught up. Nothings happening except more megapixels, plus slightly faster CPUs so..i dunno...snapchat loads faster or whatever, or more lenses or whatever, plus the sort of twilight zone $999 = £1049 pricing in the UK. Expect less, from now on, or you'll be disappointed.

It's not OK even when you're single and childless as well. The fact that people think it is is revolting.
Sorry, you’re right. I meant to say that some employees who have had a bad experience with bad management of contractors at their workplace want the state to come in with a really blunt law that harms contractors who have nothing to do with their badly managed workplace. This strikes me as short sighted and unnecessary.
Of course they will, and of course they will say they wont. Their primary business is human deception.

They did some impressive stuff, but internally the eng org was bloated as hell, thanks to Thuan's leadership. Ironicaly, Thuan recently asked his directors to tell him which departments are bloated so he could decide who to cut. So much for the "amazing leadership".
Unless you're actually planning to shoot a movie on it there doesn't seem to be a lot of need for the Pro. I guess if you really want more battery life it may be worth it, but I'm thinking almost everybody is going to go with the 11 and its already probably overkill cameras. There's just not much to justify spending the extra hundreds of dollars on the Pro model.
That’s a Fitbit
I think anybody paying attention knew that next years model is where they’re adding 5G and a new design.
While I don't disagree with you I do wonder what more could they offer at this point? What are the missing features that everyone expected/needed?

The iPhone is now like Photoshop; it has all the features I've needed and more for at least 3-4 generations now.

Maybe a stripped down iPhone with less features, smaller size and (magically) longer/better battery life would be a better angle for Apple to take at this point?
That's not true. It costs quite a bit to open source a product if you're a commercial entity.. It needs to be reviewed (by legal, security, engineering, etc) and approved..

You're not just flipping the public/private flag on the repo.

What are the severe environmental impacts of hydro?
Nobody besides Apple knows the exact reason(s), but I'd guess it's because they determined that enough users were attached to the ecosystem that they could upsell more of them on a larger/more-expensive phone, than they would lose to competitors. Presumably that profit difference is smaller than the cost to develop a new form factor.
I don't think there's a demographic that doesn't brand signal aside from nomadic herders. Some demographics are into the whole subtlety thing, but definitely still signal. Brands signal wealth, but also taste, intelligence, class, and tribe.

For HN: Cars, Electronics, Universities, FAANG on your resume, consumer products that signal your care for the environment or concern for your health/fitness.
Some tech company always tries to bury their garbage during Apple keynotes, unfortunately... Glad this made it to the top here anyway.
What is the use case for re-rendering based on change of DOM ref? (that can't be accomplished by putting some data in state?)

Ref's are basically a 1 to 1 replacement for instance fields for mutable data (that doesn't cause rerenders).

https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#useref

There's always need for escape hatches and maybe I'm missing your use case, but in the context of a discussion about how hooks are more complicated than classes, what were you doing before with refs to solve your "re-render" on change scenario?

Your example was likely contrived, but modifying innerHTML should be replaced by putting whatever in state and simply rendering it. And use state for dependencies where you want to re-run on change. Refs are just another way to keep state but not have it affect render cycle.
That's exactly what the market is doing, right now. The more wind/solar we get, the cheaper and more robust they are. And when they start costing a lot less than coal/nuclear (which is where we are now), then coal and nuclear basically collapse under their own cost - which is what is happening.

The fact that gas saw a big cost cut around the same time is just accelerating the inevitable. But getting off carbon will require that wind/solar become significantly cheaper than gas as well as coal/nuclear. Which may be what happens over the next couple of decades.

Honestly, the biggest one is just using the device regularly: you'll be able to tell what'll work and what won't a lot easier. It's clear when people design an interface for a device they haven't used (even Apple does this for certain apps). Get a physical iPhone SE (they're quite cheap) and use it as a development device. Or even better, use it as your actual device.
Yeah that may have been what they intended, but everyone I know, including people who work retail selling the phones, calls it an "excess Max".
> It is how it is, just let it be.

It's the corollary to:

> Apple are so incredible at delivering this kind of stuff that it seems routine
I have never used a case and never will (just don’t like the bulk they add). I do use an edge-to-edge screen protector on my XS max and keep the phone face down so the camera lenses don’t get scratched or smudged.

Path of Exile, which is mentioned in the article, stands out as one of the only, and from my viewpoint the best way to do free-to-play. The only things that affect gameplay are specific stash tabs which offer additional storage, with the rest of the microtransactions being cosmetics. Even the lootboxes are time-exclusive, with all of the items moving to the store individually a few months after the box comes out.

People look at POE and see the $30 wings and complain about the prices, but they ignore the fact that Chris Wilson and GGG have consistently put out excellent content (with a few exceptions) every 3 months since the game came out in ~2011. This is the way to do F2P correctly.
These comments are kind of hilarious when the average software engineer’s wardrobe consists almost entirely of tech company t-shirts/hoodies with giant logos on them :D
I only hope they keep the iPhone 6s/7/8 form factor. I've just bought a 6s the other month and enjoy its compactness and adequateness after my state-of-the-art, super-heavy Samsung S8 turned out not robust and mobile enough for my use :(
Nope. I will keep using my Pebble. Whilst it still works.

I just can't get past the 18ish hours battery.

I know when I possible eventually actually own and use an Apple Watch, I am sure some of the features trigger the "once you go x you can't go back" type thing, but until then, nope.

Though my Pebble is, unfortunately, starting to creak a little, some notifications are not always shown etc, so a Fitbit may be more likely upgrade. They at least have 5 days battery.

But the difference is that Han came around at the end of A New Hope, joined the Rebellion, and saved Luke’s ass, which lead to the Death Star’s destruction. This proved he wasn’t a complete scoundrel and had good within him.

Uber’s corporate culture was ugly and toxic from the start. And it never got better or “came around” to a good cause. A better analogy would be Anakin moving from small-time massacres of Sand People to blowing up planets as Vader. The scale changed, but it was still evil all along.

I think it’s misleading to defend Travis as some misunderstood scoundrel whose enabling of sexual harassment didn’t “scale”. He’s just a shitty person who initially had less power to be shitty.

It sounds like the new iPhone 11 Pros will come with USB-C -> Lightning. Since it's supposed to come with a 18W charger, and iPhones use USB-PD, which does not work over USB-A.
Well, there are no rules.
One of the specific attacks was getting the last four digits of a credit card from one company's CSR and using it to authenticate to another company's CSR - I think that happened in a couple of other high-profile attacks around the same time frame and major companies decided that the last four digits wasn't actually a meaningful authenticator.

IANAL, but I think you're misunderstanding "without a legitimate business reason to do so"

"Be Restaurant" blocking Deliveroo because they can't continue operating with the loss of revenue due to high fees is a legitimate business reason. "Be Restaurant" blocking Deliveroo 2: Electric Boogaloo because I don't like their owner, but continuing to allow Deliveroo access would be, presumably, disallowed.

Also there's nothing stopping "Be Restaurant" from offering an exclusive delivery contract to Deliveroo and forcing Deliveroo 2 out, or requiring a minimum fee for all delivery services, Deliveroo and Deliveroo 2 included.

Of course, I think this is all in a very different area from a restaurant; we're talking about a service provided on the internet. I believe LinkedIn has many, many other recourses here, but, as I see it, the courts are just telling them, this aint it chief.
Not really, almost everyone I interact with uses a phone case. I have one friend who does not have a case on his iPhone 6, and he's actively trying to break that into a state of disrepair so he can justify upgrading to a new phone.

Are you pairing your earphones with multiple devices ? (your phone and switch ?)

That’s the last point that makes me pause, as pairing/unpairing/switching is a PITA and I have four devices I want to hear audio from. I though only airpods and Beats could switch seemlessly so I am intrigued.
I can stream Spotify offline on my Garmin watch. It’s a game-changer going back to the days of bringing nothing but my watch (and Bluetooth headphones) with me to runs and the gym. Battery life is also several times longer than any Apple Watch generation and the sensors much more accurate and versatile. They claim 2 weeks in smartwatch mode for the Forerunner 945.

But a lot of times the decision to buy a watch is fashion-driven rather than utility-driven, and depending on what city you live in, either high-tech fitness watches are everywhere, or anything other than an Apple Watch gets you a dirty look.
I can't possibly imagine they're paying 3000 Dallas employees a bay area salary.
Don't get fooled by simple price comparison. It's comparing apples and oranges.
Gas, nuclear, coal, reversible dams, geothermy... are all controllable energy sources: they produce when we need it.
Wind and solar are intermittent.

Equip fully the world with solar and wind and the trains will have to leave their stations when the wind blows and not at any other moment.

What's happening is that countries migrating towards wind turbines like Germany also adds coal plant to the same capacity in order to compensate for when the wind doesn't blow. For each GW of wind one can find a GW of coal or gas being installed.

Then, if we are talking about adding batteries into the mix to make it work, solar and wind become far from carbon neutral, and endangers us way more than nuclear.

These are different things.

He was not subject to the same constraints and incentives that professional airline pilots are subject to.

For example, without a union and the seniority system, airline pilots that are pressured to fly with badly maintained planes are faced with a major dilemma. They can agree and risk their passengers, or refuse and face repercussions. Their livelihood and social status depends on them keeping their jobs, and the vast majority don't have the resources to withstand lawsuits.

Philip Greenspun can just go back to fly his collection of private planes and helicopters. He faces no repercussions if he refuses or goes to the press.

He has no skin in this game.

Of course. But compare that cost to (say) six full time engineers pumping out code for a couple of years. It's not the dominant cost by any means. Not to mention you're paying those other folks a salary regardless.

If it helps you attract better talent, well - there's a financial incentive there through increased efficiency which I'm sure on its own is more than equal to the review cost.
Yeah, and touch ID works better in basically every other circumstance.
Honest question, who relies on a smartphone for work? I mean, obviously people rely on a phone for work, people rely on email for work, but what jobs are there where getting the iPhone pro model would make a difference to getting, say, the now much lower priced iPhone 8.. or for that matter a used 2/3 year old flagship android phone?
I wish someday Apple Watch can charge itself by harnessing the power of arm swing. I know some mechanical watches do that. Not sure though if it can gather enough power to sustain indefinitely.
