>car payments, insurance, gas, car tax = $$$

This is only as expensive as you make it (gas notwithstanding).

>and you have to worry about your kids getting hit by a car

There's a really simple solution to this. Don't worry. There's plenty of things to irrationally worry about in a city too if you want to do that.

>Housing in other parts of the country is absurdly expensive too,

Outside of places where rich people congregate they're really not.

>locales, but then you run into the problem that there's no jobs there, or the jobs pay peanuts,

So commute somewhere you can find a good job. When you're not stuck in bumper to bumper gridlock it sucks a lot less.

>so unless you banked a bunch of money while you were living in the high-CoL area, you're not going to be able to afford one of those nice houses anyway.

This is pure BS. The people that live there afford the houses somehow. Considering that mortgage lending is fairly standardized at the high end it still shouldn't be any harder to afford a local house on a local salary, if it were nobody could get that loan.
For every word in existence, there was someone who used it first.
How to Make the Most of SQL Server Mgmt Studio
I do this with my Apple Watch S3 and it works just fine. Maybe a bit more than 30 minutes in the morning? I don’t keep track. I leave it off for shower and breakfast.

Granted, there’s no native sleep tracking (yet?) but there are some 3rd party apps.
I had the same experience with multiple FitBit devices. Every single one of them had to be replaced, after only a few months, within the warranty period. The only device I ever owned that didn't need a warranty replacement was a FitBit Aria scale and that was a return/replace with the store after the first one was DOA.
Just how reliable are we talking? The odds of being unable to fully service demand for even a single day should be really, really low for infrastructure like electrical or water supply.
I run large forums and mark my links "nofollow". I see no reason or benefit to me to change to or add "ugc".

Seems best to do nothing.
Perhaps just the smugness of the tweet and the fact that is just was patting himself on the back and reveling in the failure of others?

And his argument, "disrupting school was a terrible strategy" but doesnt elaborate why..

Another consideration: Rust’s compiler is also slower because it does a lot more forces you to add error handling.

In terms of real impact on developers I never felt it was dramatic. The rust language support in editors is so good that you will catch most errors before compiling. So once everything is dealt with you usually compile and it just works.

Binary size is also one of these areas they are dealing with atm.
Airbnb seems to do similar things, but has a better business model to support it. I kind of get it from a recruiting standpoint and they probably did need to build some customized software given the scale they have. My guess is they spent far more money trying to conquer rideshare in multiple countries, self driving, and side businesses. At the same time, they did look like they were also developing some pretty low level software that was probably not necessary.
For the same reasons people use VPNs anywhere, privacy from their FHR.
What scares me more than constantly asking myself if I’m still motivated and really improving as an engineer is a worry that I don’t have enough energy or the cognitive ability to improve to where I’d like to be.
You can just say something like "we're restructuring to focus on our core competencies". If you fire a bunch of non-critical staff, you just told investors "our revenue to cost ratio is about to get a lot better" and so if anything investors who have been watching the decline are going to recognize you are doing something about the problem.
It's got a little more range than an older Leaf with the ~25 kWh pack, and significantly cheaper for the new price. Then again, you can get a lightly used Leaf for under $10k. I bought a 2015, in 2017, with 19k miles for $8,500. You'll never see it in the USA; costs too little.

Docker and Kubernetes both immediately made sense to me when I found them. They both obviously addressed pain points I've had before and were easily recognizable to me. (Docker lets me share server applications with their environment, and Kubernetes makes sure I always have N replicas of that Docker image running on my hosts.) What are the short and sweet issues that service meshes and control planes each solve? I see a bunch of things listed on Kuma's page, but I thought those were what service meshes did.

If you are going somewhere where you have to get changed in public, say the gym, do you make sure you are wearing your good underwear?
> Are they? Almost everyone I know has a case on their phone; and I didn't have one until I bought the iPhone XS, which is over $1k and has glass on both sides.

You don't need the best gear for (that kind of) Instagram, an iPhone that takes fantastic photos _and_ lets you edit and post in a frictionless manner is probably a more productive platform.

People don't _look at_ Instagram posts in the same way they might a fine art photograph. It's a double tap while scrolling through hundreds of posts.

I say this as an avid amateur wildlife photographer who posts on Instagram and gets a handful of likes while friends get hundreds or thousands for an out-of-focus image of a milkshake and bagel.
The event was meh for me for the phones. Though I’m due for an upgrade and will likely get the 256GB 11 Pro Max (what a stupid name).

The series 5 watch looks awesome. I think I’m in for one as I’m still on a working (all day battery) first gen - day one Apple Watch Sport edition.

I’m most excited about the 16inch MacBook with a new keyboard as my mid 2013 MacBook Pro 15inch laptop is really showing its age.

Apple really nailed the pricing of Apple TV+ at 4.99 though. That’s a fair price. Apple Arcade will need to have some really cool games but it at 4.99 too is really nice.

I have a Series 1. I don't sleep with it, it usually charges all night, but sometimes I wake up and find I forgot to place it on it's charger the previous night.

I can usually use it until 1 or 2 PM that day before it dies. That's a 29+ hour battery life.
While I am completely unsympathetic to communists, I can't help but think about the USA is looking more and more like that Spanish police state and where Orwell got his ideas from and how human nature never changes.

So while Orwell was complaining about "all the bad things the Spanish were doing" wasn't Stalin doing even worse things?
It's also worth noting that San Francisco is not one of the metro areas mentioned in the article.
>> In contrast to companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon etc. that have mountains of their own money to burn (rather than investors') on research and OSS side-projects

You are assuming that these companies are letting engineers to do side-projects that are unrelated to their day to day work?

As far as I know the OSS projects these companies put out are in line what they use internally for day to day work and it is absolutely core to their business.

Examples:

- Amazon: https://firecracker-microvm.github.io
- Google: https://github.com/google/guava
- Microsoft: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode
- Apple: https://github.com/apple/foundationdb

Am I missing the point? Are OSS projects from these companies that are side-projects?

While on the subject, I am not sure about Uber's contribution to OSS. Their projects tend to be outside of my purview.

This is largely a cloud/server issue, is it not? Any desktop machine that's running malicious code is already compromised, isn't it? Or is this a concern with drive by JavaScript? I never know if these issues are likely to impact the home user or not.
It would be interesting to reuse Cloudflare's VPN as an exit for Tor traffic...
> Because you iphone is accessible on seconds notice anytime anywhere.

Not if I'm travelling internationally, as then I'm concerned about the implications of having border officials demand access to my phone. Or if I'm participating in various watersports/snowsports/backcountry activities where a phone is problematically fragile and difficult to keep charged.

In either of those scenarios (which account for the majority of pictures I take) I'm more likely to have a camera accessible than a phone.
We've used this before, and it seems to be catastrophically unreliable.We had development projects on a internal development reverse proxy that we wanted to specify with a name, and found that it quite often broke down. It could be their DNS relay, or some other network event, but at least once a week, it would simply timeout.

I would kill to be able to specify wildcards in /etc/hosts file. That seems to be the sweet-spot.
For there to be corruption in this case there would need to be one state organization paying off (directly or indirectly) people in another state organization so the first organization can get what it wants. Is that what you are suggesting is happening here?
Yeah absolutely! It's a successful project and pretty integral to Uber, I love what I do and have a lot of faith in my manager/director. I don't anticipate any reason for our situation to change.
Explain please. This is about direct device io exposing memory remotely through timing attacks. Ssh info is just one example of what can be leaked.
Given the psychology of addiction, is it reasonable to expect an addict who's seriously jonesing for a hit to be this cautious and delay the satisfaction of getting high?
This is why I always document considerations like these with stuff like: “This error case can’t happen because foo” or even better, enforce these things by type system and let the compiler decide if it really can’t happen once you changed something in the other part of the code.
As they say, you can find something wrong with everything.
How would this 'revolutionize vlogging' for 'pro influencers who make bank off of instagram'?
Not necessarily a bad idea, but disrupting those business critical teams by just swapping out people could actually slow down execution and hurt revenue.
Look at China, India and other Asian countries. Visa and MasterCard never had that much of a strong foothold there and now debit and credit cards are pretty much antiquated by wallets and QR codes.
Somewhere there is balance that the city must find. I don't agree that the reward for using less water is a higher price of water.
Ummm, it's not really a "VPN service" if it shares your IP address with websites. I mean, even high-end proxies don't do that.

Edit: It's pretty clear from the following comment that this is not a "VPN service", as most people understand it. So Mozilla is being extremely disingenuous in calling it one.

> > The intended use of the proxy service is to shield HTTP/HTTPS requests from eavesdropping by edge network providers such as public WiFi hotspots. Avoidance of geographical restrictions on content access is explicitly not a goal.

> > The Mozilla extension will always make a secure request to the Cloudflare network, regardless if the request is for TLS or plaintext

So in Mozilla's vision of the web, we would send all our DNS queries to Cloudflare, and then pipe all of our web traffic through Cloudflare too.

If Mozilla want's to turn Firefox into a front end for Cloudflare, I will happily delete it right now.

Why is it a company with $500m/year in revenue can't run a few servers for this themselves? They have to outsource it to a company 1/5th their size.
I owned the SE for ~3 years and I always loved how capable the phone is. It worked well almost like any new iPhone and it has surprisingly good camera too.
I recently switched to the Pixel 3A when it came out because the camera was the main reason. After a few months, I see that Pixel 3A camera doesn't look as truthful as my old SE. Even though the video has optical stabilizer, it doesn't feel as smooth as my SE, and the quality is actually disappointingly worse than my SE.
I miss my SE. I do wish Apple update the SE with a new version and I would definitely buy it.
> Presumably Apple doesn't make a new SE because it would kill their margins.

I think that is not the case. They could just build something with A12 or A13 chip, call it "iPhone Mini" and have high margins again.

I think the real deal is mainboard design, case design and all the manufacturing pipeline can't scale to 4 models a year. They are focusing on the XR and now they even removed the suffix. They realized the cheaper model must be big enough. So every year they spend the resources there.

Maybe next year, they can spend one cycle doing a 4" screen form factor, since this year all the announcements have at least 2 cameras. So maybe next year the Pro will have only one screen size and they can do regular, mini and pro. Each with a different display size.

The Death Star's destruction also killed thousands and thousands of soldiers, bureaucrats, and construction workers. A lot of who is good/bad in Star Wars is perspective. The Jedi can also be seen as religious extremists that kidnap children to indoctrinate in their ways, to lead in terrorist missions that help impose their view on an entire galaxy. Darth Vader is an emperor protecting his empire from a growing threat.

The moral is, multiple things can be true.
What if a "patient" happened to grab the records that were faxed from one office to another, or worse, someone intentionally got a common transposition of fax number for an office and captured medical records transferred by exemption?

There are many what-ifs. The intent of the system I outlined is to make good data-hygiene practices easier and thus more likely.

I'll also point out that most EHR systems aren't 'airgapped' like paper records of old, but are still connected to the internet at least loosely for security updates if not limited remote access.

If there's some specific attack scenario that you feel is worthy of discussing as a topic that positively enhances knowledge and the exchange of information please outline such a concern in a proper venue; which might or might not be this comments thread depending on the specific concerns. I merely provided a back-of-napkin idea to start from.
> Speaking of which, R&D spend shows they are making non-trivial investments.

Unfortunately, Apple's R&D spend won't likely enable what they want to do on their phone. A large number of sources consistently suggests that Apple is experimenting various options to get rid of notch, but all those options depends on display manufacturers.

> "Signals" is not something Apple likes to give, which is probably why you aren't seeing any.

Apple definitely wants to prove their iPhone business has more potential to grow; why would they hide the growth potential of the largest business to their investors? The truth is that it doesn't see more potentials on its phone business and this is why Apple is aggressively investing into services business.

> I would argue that hardware+software integration is more important than 5G, underscreen fingerprint, or notchless design combined.

I wouldn't argue on a subjective issue, but just note that iPhone used to have the best hardware, software and their integration during Steve's era, which is not true anymore for hardware and the gap is increasing. As a 10 year iPhone user, this is very disappointing.
I understand that when OnePlus One was launched it was in the "Phablet" category. My point is I don't recall anyone using that label on mine (or on my IPhone 6+) because larger phones were becoming a lot more mainstream at that point.
I think people often ignore charging issues, especially for city cars.
Most people live in flats with street parking, there's absolutely no infrastructure existing at the moment to solve the problem that those people cannot charge at night.
Complete agreement. Furthermore, bad actors out there will abuse "ugc": they will mark terabytes of robot-generated content as "user-generated". It will not be possible to rely on it as an indication of organic content or anything of the sort. Search engines won't be able to use that for ranking, for instance.
I'm thinking that these things would be great for when the teenagers need a car (I'm referring to those of us in suburban / rural areas). They need a car to get to their mcjob, but with the limited range they won't be cruising all over and getting into trouble. And the price (esp. for used ones) should be very cheap, and low maintenance.
It depends on the implementation of the DNS rebinding protection.

I have just checked, and my pfSense firewall (which claims to block DNS rebinding) blocks local addresses from resolving through xip.io (tested with loopback and several RFC1918. All blocked, regardless of whether they match the subnet in use). External addresses (e.g. 1.1.1.1.xip.io) resolve fine.
How about spontaneously exploding batteries?
Yup, I've been in a similar (or the same?) situation. I think it's because when you get to a certain scale, it's the only way to force employees to file their expenses.

No approved expenses report, no payment, your own problem.
Try a Garmin Forerunner or Fenix.

My wife and I have had the same bad luck with most wearables. I went through 3 MS bands, she went through 2 fitbits and all of them physically broke.

I had a Motorola Android Wear and Polar M600, both of which degraded to less than 24 hours of battery life after less than a year of ownership of each.

I have a Garmin 645M, which I've had since launch, and it still works fine and has days of battery life, even when doing morning runs listening to spotify from the watch. I finally convinced my wife to try a Garmin 245, and she hasn't destroyed it yet.
This would be first of all a breach of privacy. If hacked into it could be used for surveillance, stalking and who knows what.

A better solution IMO would be to have an RFID reader that connects to a custom virtual RFID tag in your phone, and tells you all that. Android can already do this, iOS is I think on the way to be able to do it, some stuff was added in iOS 13.
I feel that as parties have learned how to abuse the "neutrality" of the media, a lot of real reporting has moved to the opinions section.

...where it mingles with content that clearly belongs in the opinion section and away from "news".

This creates a real problem - if people who want to know if any claim is TRUE rather than just hearing the claims of the various parties to a dispute, they move to these opinion sections (and opinion organizations). This gives the credibility of objective reporting to those that aren't even claiming to be objective.

I want my reporting to mention when something isn't proven...but also to not be victims of battles over the Overton window.
How does that apply to 'pro photographers who make bank off of instagram'?

Not sure why the downvotes for you. Our bureaucrats are doing their best to make us lose our way but each day is a new fight. Red Flag laws are the latest affront--politically target people whom you don't like using police SWAT teams, basically legalized SWAT-ing without due process.

Something to be aware of: Even when the courts strike down these laws, government often does not comply at all. Secret lists? I'm sure they have many and if they don't, they hire private firms or use foreign intelligence agencies to circumvent the law.
This is probably off topic for the S5 release, but I keep sort of hoping for a smartwatch I don't have to wear as a watch.

Because I wear a nice watch already. It only tells the time, but it's also jewelry. A lot of us still want a mechanical watch on our wrists.

So where does that leave us if we also want what the Apple Watch offers, but aren't willing to displace our nice analog timepieces?

Sure, I could make an Apple PocketWatch (and it's tempting, since iPhone is now available only in "big" or "huge") but one of the most interesting things is the sensors on your skin and vibration as notification.

Maybe you could wear it on your ankle like a convict under house arrest?
Car maintenance is something that's done already, i.e. by people who want to actually use their own car? I still maintain Uber is something for free here.
A preinstalled app is the reason to switch the platforms? Sorry, not buying that. It takes a few seconds to uninstall.

If you could chose low performers, lay them off, and be more focused and higher productivity with the remaining people...

_Why haven't you already done that?_

Nobody likes low-performers, even when you're flush with cash. Fixing their mistakes is demoralizing for your high-performers. The word gets around that you have low standards, and it's hard to recruit.

The only way to get your money's worth from them is to put them in death marches and grind them down until they burn out and quit.

I am always extremely suspicious of claims that a company is going to lay off its poor performers and magically be better. If they're telling the truth, they are actually saying that their existing managers are incompetent.

There's a reason that all tech companies try to brag that they only hire the top performers.
Presumably their grandmother was alive when she was gambling the money away, so I do not see how a will would have helped here :) But a good point regardless, most people with any kind of saving should have one drawn up.
I wonder if there is a correlation between not having taken integral calculus and complaints that incremental changes go nowhere. (Not being sarcastic, just thought of it, watching complaints online)
