If you have a case, it doesn’t matter. If you don’t have a case it would be annoying.
> Manufacturers are pushing higher and higher amounts of nicotine to keep people hooked after the fonzie factor wears off.

true, but misleading. the devices designed for very high nicotine concentrations are also producing much less vapor. very few people are using nic salts in their 200W mods.
Neat stuff! Why is it always yawing to the left? Sometimes I can get it to stop but as soon as I move the mouse again it continues to spin.
Keeping SE supported fragments iOS market and burden the developers. iPhone 8 is now the low-cost iPhone roughly at SE price point with a screen size that you kind of have to support anyway.
If it tells you that you've been waking up a lot or that your oxygen level drops precipitously every minute or so, you go see a doctor.

There are people trying to "optimize" their sleep, of course, but the real benefit is getting a large chunk of the population to notice something is wrong.

The same with the ECG. A one lead ECG isn't much, but it means a lot when you give it without any hassle or additional cost to millions of people.
Yeah, the X was confusing, but now the new iPhone 11 is not really the new iPhone 11. The iPhone 11 Pro is the new iPhone 11. Still confusing...
On the contrary, do you really feel okay peddling this obvious attempt at a hit piece relying on guilt by association as evidence that all these other rich people were involved in some manner?

No one's saying that what Epstein did wasn't wrong, everyone's saying that people who interacted with him weren't necessarily involved, nor was it their responsibility to cause a ruckus about it.
Off topic but I think that would be the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie or V.O.C.)

For me, the water/dust resistance and better camera was worth the upgrade from 6+ to the 8+. Especially because unremovable first specks had gotten into my 6+ camera, making it basically unusable.
It says they have stainless in silver. Pretty sure that means polished. They said polished on stage.
My motivation comes with inspiration to build a new general purpose programming language that worth using, it's what I have in mind after fighting with most of the technical debts and bugs in various programming languages.

I still need the community to be interested in making these language more usable.
This doesn't seem good for anyone but Google.
Sometimes I use my SE to listen to music without headphones and it amazes me compared to the garbage speakers in my monitors.
If every living thing was burnt, the planet would cease to resupply oxygen and most of the free oxygen reserves in the atmosphere and oceans would be consumed through geological processes

Over what timescale? If you burned every speck of organic matter on the planet, and then you came back in 10,000 years, how much O2 would be in the atmosphere? The article under discussion seems to suggest about 20%.
> it would probably be thicker, with a cheaper screen, worse battery life and worse performance (because of battery & cooling).

I might be wrong, but I recall that even though the SE had technically inferior components, including display, it seemed it had _better_ battery life than the latest iPhones of the time. I believe the latest was the iPhone 6 at the time. Presumably OLED might have changed this?
Anyone else having connection problems with AVC.com? I couldn't find an archive link.
Unless there was a performance issue then why not allow these employees to transfer if they want to?
Of all the reasons not to buy this this one seems a bit silly to me. How is this such a big problem? I have an older iPhone where the camera sticks out as well and I don't even realize it. It has zero effect on day to day use. And if it does cause problems just get a case?
Strong second on this one. I don't have a family; that doesn't mean I don't value time outside work (and the relationships I get to build during that time) extremely highly.
If you are “feature-shopping”, you may want to check out Android phones, which ship with lots of gimmicks (which they call “features”).

>If Gates is found to have done something wrong, I'll be the first to call him a scumbag.

I guess people here, and across the press, are asking questions to figure out if he has done anything wrong. Unless you're suggesting that Bill Gates is above and beyond any questioning, the reports sound fair and justified.

>So now, if I met Epstein one time at MIT, without knowing his crimes, I'm a pedophile too?

Can you show me a single instance of the press accusing Gates of pedophilia? They're just asking why the richest man in the world (at the time) needed a convicted sex offender like Epstein to raise money for philanthropy. Do you think it's an unfair question?
Yeah, Honor Play was £260 or something, 6.3" but fits in all my pockets and has almost the power of a flagship. How small are these people's pockets, and how do you, I dunno, play chess or read articles or check out how your photo turned out?
As someone planning on upgrading a kid’s device, better performance: you never have any, we get tons, in particular when multitasking. I confess I am used to the 13” pro so I am more sensible to the glitches perhaps.

Touch ID is a real QOL improvement.

A better camera is actually nice, I don’t understand people making fun of it.

All in all I think there’s a ton to love in this new version. That doesn’t make older ones obsolete, but it’s significantly better I think.
I charge my Series 0 Apple Watch once a day when it's at about 50%.
iPhone SE continues to be the best iPhone. Best size, flat camera.

Specs are falling behind but I'm hoping to get another few years before I have to replace it.

Camera bump bothers me less on the phones than it does on the iPad because even a thin case flattens it out. But the iPad's camera bump is the only reason I have a thick case on the back of that. It's either at a desk or in my bag, I'm not going to drop it.

EDIT: I should add that I don't drop my phone because it's small enough that my fingers can actually grip around it. But my asshole of a cat knocked it off the nightstand a couple days ago and cracked the corner of the case, so a properly sized phone isn't a 100% solution to avoiding phone damage. Buying a $1000 phone and not having a case on it is nuts.
It's rumoured to have a 4.7-inch screen, so probably not much smaller than the iPhone 6,7 and 8, even if they are able to reduce the top bezels somewhat.
Logistics is a pretty mature industry as far as earning a sustainable profit goes. It would make sense they would be unaffected compared to their typical taxi type service.

Still notch... How long would I need to wait for another top-end notchless iPhone?
So, the third camera now?

Huawei had a model with one more camera for quite a while, and on my memory different "Uncle Liu Electronics" were making even five and six camera models.

But honestly, that camera module count race is the most ridiculous number game in the industry, far outmatching the megahertz race, core count, and megapixels.
The streaming API sucks (even if it finds no results, it consumes GB on top of GB - and obviously doesn't find anything historical) and the REST api also sucks as it doesn't return all the results. It's gotta be scraping.

Reading this post I can't help but feel for the sibling. When I was 5 I lost my sister and best friend; you just aren't equipped to deal with the event at that age.
That's probably how they became the most profitable tech company in the first place.
I know my corporate firewalls do not allow connections to bare ip addresses. This allows me to bypass that check for things I haven't assigned names to already.
Yeah, problem is I want both features and quality. :)

I am 100% sold on Apple devices in terms of quality, reliability and privacy issues. I don't think I'd buy an Android anytime soon. I just wish they had a few more exciting hardware features.
I had just convinced myself that I could probably deal with the size of the X and then they went and got rid of even that one in favor of something even larger as their smallest offering. Bleh

Disappointing that the base configuration of the iPhone 11 Pro has 64 GB of storage. If you're going to call it Pro and talk about how you can shoot professional video, you can't ship it with 64 GB of storage.

EDIT: Also, they don't let you jump to 128 GB. You have to go to 256 GB, for $150 more. I can see why they didn't talk about this at the event. People would have booed.
Well they could hardly change the past of healthcare....
I'm actually making this leap this Friday! Basically been building the business nights and weekends for the last year and a half. It isn't something spontaneous, but planed out for awhile. At first I will be taking a good size pay cut, but the amount of effort and energy I can put into the business will quickly close that gap.
Why use floats when you can basically have doubles for the same cost? Floats tend to cause nasty surprises when you deal with real world units.
Essentially iPhone XS with Pixel camera updates.
My thinking is that the reason why they don't care about the camera sticking out is that people usually have covers on their phones that level this problem out.
Wait, it isn't 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 any more?
Good. I'm glad to be off the upgrade treadmill from the early days of smartphones, on both the hardware and the OS level. When my current one breaks, I'll upgrade.
This is pathetic. A company that has 200 billion dollars in the bank, and all they can do is this.
They also recently announced plans to hire 3,000+ in Dallas [1] at a brand new massive office. I'm sure the hiring and layoffs are from different business units, but it does seem strange that there's been multiple several-hundred-people-layoff stories form Uber recently at the same time they're announcing otherwise massive hiring expansion. I would at least figure that they would prefer to transfer engineers between units rather than to layoff and hire anew.

Removing the SE fragments the user base. I'll go to another hardware vendor to keep a hand-sized device.
There's definitely a tightening of capital happening right now. Investors are pulling back as fear of recession grows.

EDIT: Did I say I believe there's a recession coming? No. I said (accurately) that there are growing FEARS of one. There's definitely tightening of investments and capital happening.
> 4. Anyone not browsing on Chrome gets an upsell to install Chrome (MS got roasted for this with Windows Media & best used on IE)

Every time you install a new copy of Windows and switch the browser to Firefox/Chrome/whatever, you get prompted "are you sure you really want to switch from Edge? It's amazing!!!1!" Then there's the fact occasionally it will still open things up in Edge -- search for 'Amazon' in Windows Start (is that what we're calling it still?) and do "Search the web" or "Web results" and it will open Edge (in Bing). Apparently my default apps are Mail for Email, Maps for Maps, Groove Music for Music Player, nothing for Photo viewer, nothing for Video player, and Google Chrome for Web browser. I've never opened Mail, Maps or Groove Music, I've never had a problem with photos and videos opening in my preferred viewers, and Windows doesn't seem to entirely respect the Web browser setting anyway...

Antitrust against Google? Sure, but MS is still doing it's antitrust thing 20 or so years on; I'm not aware of Apple being significantly different either. Outside of the OS vendors, all of the tech companies are trying to "maximize profits" by spying on users, forcing lock-in, degrading others' services, whatever.

Point being? I don't know -- "Big Tech" sucks and there's either no taste or no competence in government for shutting down these little tricks and loopholes. Something needs to change, but I don't know how or what. Join EFF, donate money? Maybe...
They still make the iPod touch. It even has an A10 in it. The 128 GB model is $299.

The 128 GB iPhone 8 is $499 with an A11.

They don't have to sell a new iPhone SE for less for $499. I'd pay that for it. Small is a premium. But would selling it at $399 really kill their margins?

Edit: the iPhone 8 64GB refurb pricing is now $379. That's a pretty good deal:

I’d love for them to make the same phone with an average camera for half the price.

I want a smartphone that has a camera and not a camera that had a smartphone.
I'd argue the legality does matter, since people have been vaping nicotine for years without a huge rash of deaths being associated with it, while THC vape carts have started killing people very recently and in increasing numbers. Something about THC carts is more deadly than nicotine carts. Whether anyone is inspecting nicotine carts or not, people aren't dying from nicotine carts and tons more people use nicotine carts than THC carts.

Something about THC carts is killing people, while nicotine carts are not. In most of the states where people are dying, THC carts are a black-market item while nicotine carts are available legally. If legal nicotine carts are killing people, the business can be shut down and people held responsible. If black-market THC carts are killing people, the responsible party is not a legal entity that can be easily shut down.

Government inspections or not, anything you buy on the black market is inherently more risky than something sold legally through a legal entity.
But if you're in a pool with your family and want to take a photo, TouchID isn't going to work. And if you've been running and sweating and want to unlock your phone, many times it won't work. And if you're riding your bike in the woods and want to unlock it - right, gloves...
My SE will probably be my last iOS device.

iOS used to be much better than competition, but I don't think that's the case now.

I never liked big-ass phones, and in my opinion the best iPhone design was the iPhone4, this one was a real masterpiece.

But I won't pay a premium for a phone I don't like, when my SE will no longer do its job, it will be replaced by a cheap Android device.

From the Twitter thread there's these startling stats: https://www.cdc.gov/Features/dsDrowsyDriving/index.html

> An estimated 1 in 25 adult drivers (aged 18 years or older) report having fallen asleep while driving in the previous 30 days.1,2

> The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that drowsy driving was responsible for 72,000 crashes, 44,000 injuries, and 800 deaths in 2013.3 However, these numbers are underestimated and up to 6,000 fatal crashes each year may be caused by drowsy drivers.4-5

One of the things I love about the US of A is our freedom of speech. We can talk openly about things like how our nation is founded on genocide and slavery, and being able and willing to do that is an essential part of overcoming our faults and atoning for our sins.

What are we even arguing about? Whether the US government is "shitty" or not? I would say it's too big: some shitty and some sublime, the totality beyond human comprehension.

Seeing a battery article in Nature has become a bad sign. They consistently blow up a minor result in chemistry into "world-changing event Real Soon Now".

It would be amusing to have an feature on, say, Elektrik, that shows battery articles from 1, 2, and 5 years ago.
Nope they're just taking advantage of the OLED screen which only turns on the pixels it needs to, I doubt you could double the battery life by turning off always on... you might get 2-3 more hours out of it.
Year after year of new iPhone's premieres I wonder for how long I'm going to use my iPhone SE - 3,5years has gone and nothing new for me on the horizon :(

I don't care about missing jack, USB-C, cameras and other things - just make it smaller and it will fine by me.
The apple equivalent of 'meeting that should have been an email'.
Please do it. I would buy it on a heartbeat. I don’t like carrying this tablet sized display (XS). I miss my SE, it was just too sluggish and restarting too much when I replaced it.
Also, I have a feeling that the reason why they don’t do it is because bigger screen generate more engagement.
Long time React user here, have started experimenting with hooks. My general sense is the useState hook is a pretty neat idea, but useEffect and friends need some work. Definitely doesn't have that same "completely makes sense, this is a great API" feel that I typically associate with React.
You’re totally right but the 2nd gen Apple Pencil can’t hold charge for very long even when not being used — so that wouldn’t work.
Every year I wait on bated breath at the release of a similarly compact phone to the SE. I even recently bought a new one right before they removed them from the store, so I have 2 year apple care+ for it to tide me over.

Ordinarily I would vote with my wallet, but there are no compact Android phones either.

Ironically I still own a Oneplus One which is quite old by todays standards; and I distinctly remember it being called a "Phablet" due to it's obtuse stature in comparison to its contemporaries. However it would not look out of place today, in fact in comparison to my friends iPhone Xs (not max) it hardly seems at all larger!

I would merrily slam down 1K+ EUR for a real flagship phone at a size I can actually use.

(also, I wonder how women get on, since generally they have smaller hands than men.)
It provides a valuable service. It gives property owners a hands off way of renting out their space to short term tenants. That’s going to make money.
Oops...I had a note about single-gender colleges in a draft but took it out. Yeah, they can be relatively fine.

If your school is all male, then your heterosexual romantic/sexual social life is either non-existent, or with people outside of school. Neither of those cases leads to anywhere near as much social rivalry and drama as you have in a mixed gender school with a ratio far from 50/50. It's that rivalry and drama that gets in the way of academics.
Yeah, the entire world is using superior USB-C and charge smartphones directly from laptop cable. Apple users still carry adapters...
How about, don't work as an undercompensated startup employee who is relying on shares to become valuable. You can have incredibly rewarding jobs both personally and financially working for a startup.
On one side having a significantly smaller screen to cater to limits app developers quite a bit, so removing the 320px option would be welcomed there.

Another factor is the things that drive a person to spend $500+ on a phone are probably quite far removed from what they actually want from a phone from day to day. A big huge all encompassing screen is gonna outperform something that actually fits in your pocket every time.
I think the regular X is in a really good spot in terms of size. Fits in pockets, easy to reach the corners, but still a fairly large screen.
The author of “Feeling Good”, Dr David Burns, who popularized cognitive behavioral therapy, believes we have motivation backwards. That in reality, motivation comes from taking action. To overcome procrastination, you commit to doing some ridiculously small task — e.g., launching your code editor. Typically this snowballs into doing meaningful work. The trick is to only mentally commit to a few minutes and most of the time you’ll far surpass that.

But more generally, interesting side-projects are a good “saw sharpening” exercise. I’ve found that most of the valuable skills I’ve learned in life came from projects I was passionate about, and in turn those skills have benefited my career. Another side effect of these passion projects is that they leave me feeling energized and inspired, which has a spillover effect into my “work work”.
This is why they have that money... consistent execution puts people at ease.
Apple users are finicky and love aesthetics. That's one of Apple's/Ive (before he left) major selling points was simple beauty. A lump on the back is not beautiful, simple, clean or elegant.
I was hoping for Tile-like trackers. I wonder if they'll show up later this fall in a different event. Would make sense to put it close to the holiday shopping season. Still, would have liked to have seen them today...

Really just depends on what you wanted to specialize in. My degree is basically the VLSI portion of an Electrical Engineer and Operating Systems portion of a CS degree. There were many students in my HDL classes that were purely CS but had an interest in software based processors. Not as many EE's taking classes on Big-O notation.
Which was the last iPhone to not have a protruding lens?

iPhone 6 and 7 have protruding lenses and they are getting old.
iOS 13 is likely the last iOS your 6s would run despite A9 being good enough. Similarly to Catalina being likely the last macOS running on first retina MBP 2012 that are still good enough and likely will be for a few more years (much faster than latest Airs).

As we speak, banks are migrating from systems written in cobol/fortran to systems written in java. I just got quite a few recruiters contacting me for open java jobs. Sure, frontend code was in angular and they offered training for it, but for some even angular might be considered to be "ancient" because they're living in a react bubble (not saying that you are).
