No, I definitely agree, in fact I was going to give that very caveat ('aside from the pro model just being nicer to use if you use a phone all the time at work') but didn't want to presume your point too much. Also I was genuinely interested, maybe there are jobs like this and I'm just not aware of them :-)
I could be wrong, but I think it's the same internals of a 6S. I have a 6S and it still feels plenty capable.

Yes - the form factor of the SE is just unbeatable. I've remain surprised that Apple moved to and stays with the current form factor.
“If you're small and scrappy, antisocial behavior makes you a charming scoundrel. If you're big, the same behavior makes you evil.”

This is with regards to businesses only, though. With people, it’s flipped. Poor? Bad behavior is vilified. Rich? Bad behavior is justified.

(Just an observation of a weird social phenomenon, without agenda).
Someone in this thread was complaining this was somehow bad for women because when they spawned in they were looking at the crouch of a woman in cosplay.

A simple question was then asked by me, "Clicked, saw someone wearing clothes consenting to a picture taken of them. What exactly makes this a horrible place for women?"

This was completely removed. It's amazing the kind of censorship that takes place on this site. How exactly is this violating site guidelines, how is this mysoginstic? But of course the inflammatory parent comment is allowed to stay because it fulfills the narrative that women are victims.

Nice censorship here ycombinator, way to show your true colors that you are just a spokesperson for the left.
My browser has a count of 124 "PRO"s in the article[1], yet I gave up finding any information on how to earn money with an iPhone. I thought that's what professionals are supposed to do/be. I think that's also what the original Macbook Pros were about.

Seems to me that the semantics behind the word is changing. Don't know what it is supposed to mean now, though. Of course it is the best iPhone ever made. It's the most recent one. And even though that should be clear from the get go, they have always made that part clear in the all the keynotes before without having to add a 'pro' into what already is a weird statement.

NB: I'm a happy iPhone user since the 3GS and currently have an iPhone X.

I'd similarly call out Warframe for this. No required buy ins, but their premium currency can be used for inventory expansion, crafting instant completion (although you can simultaneously craft as much as you want), or trading with other players. Meanwhile they continually improve the game. The trading component also means people with time but not money can still get premium currency just by trading valued loot.
maybe there is more suburban land available?
Have a Mac running set to sync all iCloud content locally. From there you can manually access all media or automate sync/backup to some other service.
It doesn't have a sim. The Pebble's purpose-in-life was to be a good watch first. It complements your phone with smart features like notifications, automatically setting the time on your watch based on your phone, and syncing your calendar to Pebble's timeline. It's not a phone replacement like you're looking for, so Apple Watch is a good fit for you.

Still, I found my Pebble greatly reduced the time I spent looking at my phone because I didn't need to take my phone out of my pocket upon receiving a notification or to check the next item on my calendar.
And all of that is available to tens of millions of people for a meager price.

This article in one sentence: Housing is too expensive and there are now nice coffeeshops, bars, and restaurants in other cities across the country.
That's my point though - I have enough devices to charge already. I'm also very used to charging my phone and laptop - I change my watch battery once every couple of years or so.
> No, it assumes that when a driver can no longer make ends meet since they are paying more in maintenance than they are earning, they will no longer have money for gas to be an Uber driver, thus quitting.

So, it assumes no new supply of drivers misjudging costs, and no drivers with multiple income streams that fail to recognize the source of maintenance costs and that Uber is losing money.

It's basically a “no one will buy lottery tickets or engage in other less-than-break-even gambling for non-entertainment purposes” argument, except that gambling venues are usually required to publish their net payout stats, while Uber isn't.

So do it the old fashioned way: socialize and network with people at industry events. Ageism is another issue that isn’t quite so easy to solve. Doesn’t that depend on the area more than anything?

Networking like that is how I found my job without a degree in computer science.
Except they previously offered 128 GB phones (and still do).
Redis is an in-memory data store that has different options for persistence (snapshots + oplog) but it's not designed to persist every operation immediately. All data structures are covered including Streams.

Redis keeps the entire working set in RAM so it'll start dropping writes or freeze if you run out of memory. This is where the simplicity and speed comes from and is a fundamental limitation.

There's a simple replica system that works well but failover switching is the problem and requires a separate process or running the Redis Sentinel. There's also Redis Cluster but that just shards the keyspace and doesn't offer any scalability with a single key or stream, and is still hard to manage with the same failover issues.

The OP asked for a single-node option so I suggested Redis, if you need a serious messaging cluster then I recommend Kafka or Pulsar instead.
In a metro area like chicago that has 9.5 million people, the "cool and hip" urban areas fit about 300,000 people.

Yikes, that would be a total deal-breaker for me. I have enough chargers and cables to remember as it is.

Kind of difficult to see why they'd use anything other than micro-USB anyway?
Literally nobody I know (SRE or developers) makes that little in SF, everybody makes at least 250k. I don't pretend to know why glassdoor numbers are so off, but I found the numbers at https://www.levels.fyi/ much more accurate in the current climate. Again, I speak by personal experience and the one of the people in my circles.

I'm the manager of one of Uber's OSS projects, and all that the things you listed here ring true. I just know that in our case at least, OSS prep absolutely pales in comparison to the feature/operational work put in by the team.

To be clear, when I added "really" to that first sentence it was meant to communicate that there is some cost, but in the sense that it's negligible to Uber's losses, as you point out. I was responding to OP's "dubious use of resources" comment. But I can see that wasn't clear.
Jobs are often desirable. I suppose it's down to the individual to decide whether they care more to 1. optimize for avoiding the most undesirable situations or 2. optimize for total average desirability of where they live. My question would be: which strategy is more common in practice? Is there research on the psychology of deciding to live in a city?

... I'm on the upgrade plan and plan to upgrade every year...
I pay for stuff that gives me good value. To convert me to a paid version of the app, I need to have a good experience with the base app and see clear value in additional features.

For example, for a TODO app, charge for more than a certain number of projects, recurring tasks, integration with some other service, notifications, shared task list, etc. I didn't look into the specifics of your app, but that's the general free -> paying pipeline.

But don't just randomly develop stuff. Figure out how your users use your product and add stuff they may want to a paid tier. Maybe that's asking them to take a survey, maybe it's some form of telemetry, that's up to you, but you need to get an idea of what your customers value.
Cities, innovation, and clustering: an interview with Enrico Moretti
There's not even good stuff in the 4.7" to 5.2" range anymore.
Good for the environment though, I'll take it.
Working at a "nice place" is what you care about when you've already decided that everything else about the job is going to suck. When the rest of your working conditions are decent don't care what your desk is like.
Negative prices? You'll pay me to take electricity off your hands that I can sell later?

That's the best argument for the battery storage market I've seen yet... (And really, it makes sense. Generate surplus when the sun is shining or wind is especially strong, run from storage when demand exceeds supply, build both until there's enough. As long as the costs are less than current baseline systems, which seems possible, then it wins.)
How's the SE treating you in 2019? Trying to switch from Pixel to iPhone, but don't want to drop significant money until USB-C, which is rumored in 2020. Figured an SE might be good for me until then
> Apple is using 100% recycled materials now.

For consumer devices? Very unlikely. Do you have a citation?

> has a trade-in recycling program

Just because you send something off to be recycled doesn't mean it actually ends up being recycled. It's much better off to not have to recycle in the first place at all (eg. by making your hardware easy to repair, which Apple is notoriously bad at).
Good call. Since they demonstrated 2 channel already, maybe drive that with a standard electric guitar and then have a Tesla coil driven by a bass.
Haven't smashed a phone yet? When you do, I bet you'll get on board with the case bandwagon
On Android: You can set default apps for certain links (YouTube, browser, mail client, etc). You can leave spaces or add widgets to the home screen. You can plug the phone into a computer and access the file system like a USB drive. Those are all pretty nice. Of course, iMessage, Apple Wallet, and other features are nice on iPhones. Both are different and good in their own ways.
Rumors (before today) said Intel for this generation (since they were manufacturing before Intel dropped their modems).

Glad I waited for the unlocked X with Qualcomm instead of getting the Tmobile Intel version that year.
Shit, are we supposed to be pronouncing that "tencode"?
Handling cash is very labor intensive, you're paying your highest paid employees (managers) to count cash multiple times before/after shifts, bank runs to deposit, making change, rolling coins, etc. Plus the cost of physical security for that cash.

To each their own. The improvements in computational photography like automatically stitching a few pictures together for higher resolution and night mode are pretty incredible. And the improved dynamic range, resolution, and added wide angle lens are nice improvements.

I've updated every 2 years for the past 8 years or so -- even back then I never felt the need to upgrade the very next year, but by 2 years out I've always been pretty excited for the improvements. And this year that still holds, I'm excited to upgrade my iPhone X.
There's (literally) exponentially more land available at greater distances from the urban center.

The area grows in proportion to radius squared.
The kind of data that's been found on cities and innovation clustering is why I'm skeptical that remote work is going to become a major, common modality.

That said, the way cities practice exclusionary zoning is pushing companies and workers towards remote: https://www.citylab.com/equity/2019/09/affordable-home-jobs-....
Everyone uses a case, often the leather first party ones, and a thinner phone lets the lens be flush* with the case.

// Technically no, technically still inset just enough to not touch the service it's on.
I don't know anyone who uses a case. Why bother when you get a new phone every 12-18 months and cases don't stop the screen breaking (unless you get something absurdly chunky)

Anecdotal, but then so is the GP.
This whole argument is built on the premise of the items being black market products, yet I still have trouble understanding what that exactly means here. What is defined as black market? Where is the line drawn, if there is a line?

Marijuana was 100% illegal for nearly a century, it's more legal now, yet the deaths are recent. I am very certain that there is some level of consumer bias toward buying supposed "underground lab" vaping products, having a higher amount of trust in them because marijuana is "legal" now. See where this might get confusing?
Apple knew it back in 2017 and as each year progresses it’s becoming increasingly clear we have exited the innovation phase and are well into the saturated/sustained phone market. We will never see an iPhone announcement quite like the first 5 and the X. Short of a form factor change, our phones will last longer and the new phone feature list will decrease year over year.

Also - the Pros are thicker, heavier, and slightly taller and wider than the X and XS. Couple months ago someone linked to an article on how much bigger iPhones are getting and this year continued that trend.

I could certainly live with charging every 4 weeks. But isn't that more a "fitness tracker watch", rather than a "smartwatch"? When I think of smartwatches, I'm more thinking of ones running an Android or Apple OS, with apps available etc.
The price for electricity already varies hour by hour. Maybe not as much as solar would, but most people (including me) are not paying a pegged price for electricity 24/7.
So, the LTPO display is not new. It was introduced in the Series 4. What is not clear to me is whether in the low-refresh low-intensity mode it is still subject to burn-in.
Sigh. Somebody always says this and it always sounds just as narcissistic.

A few years ago I found myself in the same situation and finally determined it was going into the office and dealing with so many people that was to blame. Once I started working remotely I found I had lots of spare energy and motivation for all my hobbies.

I don't mean to say that this is your issue, but take a look your life and what drains you. It might be the boring work or it might be something else completely.
Hopefully more people will start riding e-bikes, which are much more efficient. 10 miles ~ 200Wh.

Frank was great but I prefer Winogrand for aesthetic. That said he was one of the first to do street photography as a road trip. Now it’s kind of like s rite of passage for street photographers to do the roadtrip format.

My company with low 5-digit users hosts an hour-long monthly webinar about product updates. The iPhone is one of the most popular consumer items in the world, I think it’s reasonable for Apple to spend 1.5 hours/year talking about what’s changing
I can’t really speak for NYC or LA, since I have never lived in either one for any appreciable amount of time, but in Chicago, it’s because of vastly unequal access to public transportation. Housing demand is skyrocketing in neighborhoods near L train stations, while the population is dwindling on the west and south sides of the city where train service is virtually non-existent. Nobody wants to commute to work via two 45-minute bus rides, and driving to the loop from those far-flung neighborhoods is cost-prohibitive for all but the wealthiest people (not to mention that it won’t save you much time, even if you can afford it).

For senior tech employees there's a big drain from Europe towards USA; if you have the experience and skills then it's feasible to get much more money across the pond, as tech salaries in Europe tend to be lower than USA even if we exclude the Silicon Valley salary peak.
The way Bose does it can be a little awkward (sometimes you have to manage devices from the app), but it definitely works.
I had a look at the report and it looks fishy. They're not actually comparing the cost of gas plants with the cost of wind, solar and storage - they're comparing with a hypothetical "clean energy portfolio" consisting of whatever combination of energy efficiency improvements, demand shifting, wind, solar and storage their model reckons is cheapest, effectively modelling energy conservation as a source of electricity that replaces gas power plant outputs. This makes very little sense; there's nothing inherent about efficiency improvements or demand flexibility that restricts them to being used with renewables rather than gas power.

That's not the only dodgy thing either. Their proposal generates substantial excess energy throughout most of the year. In order to improve its cost effectiveness, they assume that excess energy has a value of $15/KWh and subtract that income from the cost of the renewable program. The actual value of this energy is probably close to zero; remember, we're talking about energy that has gone unused even after substantial use of demand shifting and storage.
Really interesting take. I will keep this mind.
I figure they went with "Pro" because it makes it clear which is the top model; With Xs/Xr you can't tell without looking it up.
I and probably 99.99999% of the world just learned about this a few months ago. How do we expect Gates to know?
I read the book last weekend and am going with my memory (I’ve since lent it out). In the book Travis found out about Lyft’s planned rideshare service and raced to launch UberX first.

Alas google has become useless for finding useful information so I hope somebody who still has the book can confirm.
Not anymore. iCloud backs up app states and data. I restore multiple devices from the cloud regularly and I wouldn’t do so if app meta data wasn’t stored on iCloud.
It’s actually a bit bigger, the original iPhone was 3.5” screen and the iPhone 5 got taller.

I have to give up a bit of grip to get my thumb to the top corners of the screen, but it’s a lot better than anything else and I’d say worth the trade off for the extra space. Bigger than this I’m not convinced.
Because density is inherently more complicated and expensive to build and maintain.

This is also why there aren't "cheap" skyscrapers in suburban/rural areas. Because even when it's easy and 100% legal to build by-right, any density above 2-3 stories is still inherently really expensive.
I'll give you that cities like NYC are stinky and expensive. But NYC in particular is a very safe place. We have about 300 murders per year with a population of 8.5 million. Yes, I might live within a mile of a murder, but I also live within a mile of 400,000 people. That's about entire population of Raleigh, NC, where I used to live.
It's especially a dick move when everybody already knows they're hurting for cash, and the official position could be "we just can't afford all these people" without the company losing any face. They aren't fooling anybody by pretending it's not about the cost.
Wasn't that talking about the iPhone 4, before they added the extra row of icons on the 5 and SE form factor?

As is, I have no inclination to give up my SE, and if it fails I'll almost certainly pick up another off eBay or similar.
Hard-wired antennas can be detected by their shadows and reflections in the RF bands. Additionally, unless they are hardened against it, extreme RF energy, as might be generated by an EMP or by a highly-directional attacking antenna, can damage circuits connected to the receiving antenna.

When the plasma antenna is turned off, it stops existing. There's nothing there to attack or detect.

A possible future advantage would be shaping the plasma with magnetic fields, to create customizable antenna geometries, or geometries that electrically extend beyond the physical bounds of the equipment. Imagine using a laser small enough to fit in a backpack to create a 1/4 wave antenna long enough to transmit or receive at 30 kHz, with length 2.5 km .

You could create a plasma antenna 2500m long, send a message to a submarine 150 m below the surface, then it just disappears when you turn it off.

My next phone after the SE will hopefully be a standalone Apple Watch (Cellular) with some AirPods.

Good catch. Which phones have this chip?
