We've had time of day based pricing in the UK for years - it's called "Economy 7" (and there are variants like Economy 10). Historically this was designed for electric storage heaters which were switched on a separate circuit at night and you had two sets of wiring into the house but nowadays it can be done based on pure time of day by a smart meter.

People who have those tariffs do tend to alter behaviour to suit them - it mainly makes sense for homes with electric space and water heating, where it's more "set and forget" (and people also do change behaviour by eg putting washing machines or tumble dryers on late at night when the cheaper tariffs apply too).

Over time I imagine we might see more dynamic algorithms in use to pick and choose times when electricity is used together with more dynamic per-unit pricing.
Just a heads up that services like these won't work behind security-aware DNS recursive resolvers (like OpenDNS) or routers (like Google Wifi) that block DNS rebinding attacks.

I'm impressed at the sheer number of bumps. Pretty much guaranteed to be resting your phone on a camera lens. I wonder if it'll actually sit flat on its back.
Maybe start with transforming the "present" of marketing, and avoid hyperbole?
The Nike band is nice because it is perforated, which is great for venting sweat during a workout. Otherwise, I haven't really noticed any "nike" branding on my Nike edition Apple watch. I'm not sure anyone would even know it by looking at me, there is no nike logo anywhere (wait, no that isn't true, there is a small logo....on the inside of the band where absolutely no one can see it).
> Why use floats when you can basically have doubles for the same cost?

Floats costing the same as doubles is a myth stemming from x87 arithmetic, which is obsolete. On an x64 CPU running 64-bit code, your compiler can often pack four floats into one SSE register. Even when that doesn't happen, CPU microcode can likely do more with floats than with doubles.

Lastly, memory bandwidth usage and cache occupancy doubles, which is true even with x87.

Nationally it's only used by T-Mobile in very small amounts of spectrum, and only as fallback of last resort or for legacy things like burglar alarms. Regionally, there might be some rural specialty carriers using it (stuff like indigo wireless for the mining industry).

AT&T shut their footprint off completely a few years ago to free up spectrum in 850mhz.
The article says Apple "... has stated that the next iOS update will not run on the old SE hardware."

Not true. iOS 13's compatibility list includes iPhone SE (near the bottom): https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-13/
I gotta say, I wonder at what the balance of any discoveries will actually be. I am not a doctor, but I wonder if Machine Learning will identify anything other than geographic clusters of patients? I suppose that it is possible that this kind of info could help in diagnosis, but, machine learning seems unlikely to result in cures given the lack of any actual trials. Of course, improved incidence data might truly help earmark funds for research.

personally, I hope that my data could help people. I am not so concerned with my privacy that I would withhold my medical records if they could help. But, in exchange for that contribution I do want protection against misuse of that data by my insurers or other institutions. I recognize it isn't possible for me to enforce that use in any other way than withholding my data entirely.

The reality is that we cannot, as a society, afford to have no trust in our institutions. We need instead to focus on providing oversight and guidance of them such that they can actively contribute to the public good. Private contributions to institutions is mandatory for the public to succeed. maintaining that trust is the responsibilities of those institutions and they should seek whatever audits and oversights they can to keep that trust and fulfill their charters.
The watch has enough memory for hours of music / podcasts.
How many dollars did the failures cost?
> Apple was right to discontinue it because 32GB wasnt enough to run the OS anymore, while also being a usable phone.

I use 20 GB on my iPhone SE quite comfortably. It's absolutely enough to be usable.
Good point, although those phones were not called Pro phones. They were top-of-the-line, but it was more understandable to offer a 64 GB version without the Pro moniker.
USB-C has more dust problems in my experience. With lightning you can just blow out the dust (bigger space).

His implementation may be new but the idea of interfacing with content in a 3D manner isn't. I remember trying out a 3D desktop program around 2003 and if I recall correctly, it came with a game demo disc.

Sounds good... in theory. Truth is we don't know this, their mail client is proprietary and even if it was open source we still wouldn't know what their servers are logging. I am in a similar situation and I trust Google more than ProtonMail with all that Tesonet data weirdness pointing back to one guy. These shell companies can go and disappear overnight, something to consider.
The incredibly dull pace of innovation coming out of Apple lately is the logical result of a supply chain expert becoming the CEO.
It's subjective, but cameras are already so good that it hardly makes a difference.

You can't actually terminate that many people without a planned layoff, according to CA labor law. It's to protect workers from mass firings (at least a little) https://www.shouselaw.com/employment/warn-act.html
It also means they don't receive when off, which renders them resistant to some forms of electronic warfare.
Hahaha. Maybe by that time we will take it so for granted that time-out periods so we can see the stars better will be socialized. I still remember the blackout of 2003 rather fondly...

Probably not, though...

It appears that in the case of Epstein, anyone who knew the criminal is judged by the media as also guilty.

Seems weird and wrong ...
They’re valued on growth, so if they decide to stop growing their valuation will plummet.

If they raise prices then quantity of rides will go down. If quantity of rides goes down, it becomes harder to earn a living as a driver. If it is harder to earn a living as a driver, there are fewer drivers. If there are fewer drivers, then the cost of drivers goes up.

Not to mention the fact that if uber becomes 10% more expensive a large chunk of those customers will just go to lyft.
Honestly I was hoping that the leaked images were somehow very wrong. I hate the look of the back of the phone now. Who thought a rectangular module with a triangle of circular cameras would look good? It doesn't. It looks terrible.
Er, all of your examples except maybe the HTC and the Droid Turbo and the iPhone are labelled Phablets (and Apple only because they seem to be immune to the label); the Galaxy Note series is original phablet line and the OnePlus One was bigger than the contemporary iteration of that line.

Your list reinforces the point you are using it to argue against.
Yeah, virtually every app in the Play Store "may not be optimized for tablets". That disclaimer has become superfluous.
The human writers are constrained by what they think they can get away with. The automated writers don't even work that way. You can see from the examples used in discussions here, the more limited the domain of discourse the more convincing the samples are (except the hello world one that looked like a mash-up of every programming tutorial ever written). I think this thing could do a great job making fake announcements to air travelers about flight delays.

I think the synthetic texts are already convincing enough that the natural desire to try to impart meaning to writings/utterances will go a long way to convincing forum user "victims" that something is being said that needs to be thought about. And here in this discussion, we know that the fakes are fakes (except for one comment which is unlabeled and I'm not sure about), in an aggression against a forum the fakes won't be labeled.
There were no previous generations of Pro iPhones. I get that these are replacing the XS and XS Max, but those were not designated Pro. When you put that label on, you have to give all of Pro devices storage to match.
Yea but self-driving would instantly turn Uber into a cash cow and it's not that far away.

Edit: By not that far away I'm talking 5-15 years. I'm not talking next week. Amazon burned cash for at least 20 years.
I can fit the larger phones (though still prefer the SE size), but my wife has demonstrated how even the SE is often spilling out of whatever pocket or other way-smaller device holding pocket is on her clothing items. Unless fashion trends change, or everyone who uses purses goes for some giant bag (and likes keeping their phones in a bag, not on their person), there is a large number of people who could use a smaller phone.
Epstein was convicted of soliciting a prostitute and of procuring an underage girl for prostitution in 2008 [see his wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein). There were rumors about him well before that

Bill Gates met with him in 2013. Why did Gates decide to meet with a convicted sex offender and pedophile? I think that, for powerful people, "not setting up meetings with sex offenders" is actually a pretty easy and straightforward ethical bar.
I suspect this is a very good life insurance, not directly the employer who pays. And I suspect the employer was fighting it because his premium would go up.

So you don't think they have that money because they were innovative and introduced the iPhone, iPad, iMac, and iPod? You think they have that money because they've made micro improvements?
my wife swears by hers - makes it much more comfortable to hold while thumb-scrolling. She's not really one to put her phone in her pocket, though. If it's not in her hand or put down beside her, it's in her purse.
The Pro has "haptic touch" which is just the long press instead. See: https://www.apple.com/iphone-11-pro/specs/

Neither 11 nor 11 Pro have 3D Touch.
I would be quite surprised if "most people" bought the $150 upgrade.
I agree with your premise but I think it's generalizing, there are contexts where it is pedantic and insubstantive. Language evolves and not always the way the purists would have it.
There is no "extra", price is the same for Nike version. Just different band.
If the iPhone 6-8 and now the X/XS/11 are anything to go by then I think the days of the tick-tock refreshes are over.

Apple has made it pretty clear they don’t see upgrading their phones every 1-2 years anymore. Personally if my iPhone 7+ hadn’t gone and bricked itself I wouldn’t have bothered trading it in (after replacement under warranty) for the XS. My wife is still rocking an iPhone 7 and I see no reason to upgrade it either. Never in my life until the year before last have I been satisfied to just hold onto a phone, especially after my contract or payment plan has ended.

This is the new “normal”, and everyone except the most enthusiastic of enthusiasts are going to bother buying a new phone more than every 3+ years.
While I agree with you and felt the same way as you, I found that it wasn't as big an issue once I bought a case for the phone. Once you put a case on the phone the camera bump completely disappears.

I dont know what percentage of iPhone users go case-less with their phones, but I haven't seen one being used without a case.. and I have been actively looking for them.

I say this as a person who used to go case-less with my iPhones until my iPhones started having camera bumps. Then I started to get a case to rid myself off the camera bump. Last year I got the leather case, and while I winced at the ridiculous price I paid for it, I have been extremely happy with the choice. The blend of steel, glass and leather feels and looks great.

The 11 Pro is 0.4mm thicker than the XS (and the X/XS were 0.6mm thicker than the 7). They're slowly getting there. iPhones are getting thicker and thicker by the year.
It probably does have enough battery life if my watch is any indicator. And if it doesn't a small change to your daily routine, such as charging your watch both at night while you prepare for bed as well as in the morning while you get ready for the day, will make getting through the day + night no problem. You get most of a charge in something like 30 minutes.
Well they specifically said it’s Pro users... and for everyone else who wants the best of what Apple has to offer. They could certainly remove the 64gb entry option and thus increase the base price but then everyone who only needs 64gb is paying more for a feature they don’t need or want. Rather Apple usually waits until part prices make it so they can both reduce the price and this remove the previous entry model which one can assume will happen in a few years.
> The actual device, while larger, isn't much. Like a half inch in length, and a quarter inch in width.

You're off by almost a factor of 2, and furthermore that makes these increases significant in relative terms.

The 5S is 4.87"x2.31", the X is 5.65"x2.79", that's +0.78"/+16% in height and much worse +0.48"/+21% in width.

The phone is more "surface efficient" (phone diagonals goes from 5.4" to 6.3", or a 0.9" (and 16%) increase where the screen increased by 1.8") but it's still significantly bigger.
I really take all this "will hire xx people in y location" with a grain of salt. This is all marketing speak intended for the tax handout. I don't really believe they will hire that many people if their business tanks
That isn't what the article in the parent comment says:

>The office would include engineers, finance executives, salespeople and other roles across Uber's business.
The Series 4 is now officially discontinued. I'd set up an alert for the refurb store.
1) I think it's certainly possible, but 2035 is still some time out. Extrapolating battery costs 16 years from now is not at all straightforward.

2) The headline result can be true even if solar/wind/storage have significant annual gaps in availability. If a gas plant was originally built on the assumption that it could run profitably for 5000 hours per year, but in the future there are only 2000 hours a year it can run profitably (due to more solar/wind), it can be financially "crushed." At least in competitive electricity markets. There could be large writedowns as plant load factors decline. Since gas plants are much less labor intensive to keep running than coal plants, I don't expect to see gas plants mothballed and demolished quite the way American coal plants have been over the past 5 years. They may still be profitable to run in the peak-demand season each year even with much more renewable capacity deployed. But they'll make less revenue and profit, burn less fuel, and emit less CO2.
That's what I think is stupid. Roman numerals are stupid and make things inconsistently named. iPhone ten vs ecks-code.
The fuel (or lack thereof) may be free, but in the foreseeable future generation capacity and transmission infrastructure is not. Someone has to build and maintain it according to demand. If efficiency or consumption limits are not incentivized then you risk demand exceeding capacity.

Civilization grows with available energy. People would start desalinating the oceans to green deserts, speed-boat cargo around the world, grow staple foods indoors or pull carbon out of the air if energy were truly free.
Um, I'm not sure people doing crimes need much additional self justification -- they are already heroes of their own stories, taking what is due to them, punishing the oppressor, harvesting from the marks, what have you.

From society's point of view, allowing some leniency of judgement is probably beneficial on the net -- you don't get much more purses stolen, but you do get more pill bottles returned. (this is an empirical question actually, maybe there are social studies on the topic?)

Consequences and intent matter. First because duh, second because it lets you predict (and therefore influence) the future.

They did increase the battery life in these phones.
Can't they make something which looks more like a sportswatch or e.g. Rolex?
Because large cities smell, people urinate on the streets, the air quality is very low and to add to those cons, you have to pay more to live there. Suburb living is great, the air smells good, I can't hear my neighbors unless we have a party. I suspect those that are leaving value saving for retirement over renting an overpriced apartment in a chic neighborhood. Also there are no murders in most suburbs in any given year. If you live in NYC /Chicago chances are you are within a mile of a murder at least once per year. https://maps.nyc.gov/crime/
Or in the case of Amazon you have both, printing money with an awful culture of churning through employees. They even structured their stock vesting around it.
> The state cannot corrupt itself

Obviously if you define the term "corruption" so that it is inapplicable, then there is no "corruption". FWIW I'm totally on board with viewing "the state" as a singular malevolent actor, I just don't think that paradigm is particularly useful here.
Pretty unlikely that most people aren't buying the products of the big producers. Otherwise they wouldn't be the big producers.
Thanks and unfortunately I still see a preview menu just not the full preview window.

I don't get it ... is this addition helpful to others? Anyone else extremely annoyed by it?
With a larger sensor, wouldn't you need a longer lens to get the same effective focal length, making the bump protrude even more?
Uber was very profitable when they just had Uber Black. The problem is they were disrupted themselves by Lyft and had to launch UberX (give Travis credit for launching this before Lyft even though it was their idea).
> You might want to know the whole story before deciding to pick a side.

I took your advice and did a quick google search.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Kong_Qingdong_incident

> In January 2012, Ken Wai, a Hong Kong passenger, asked a Mainland Chinese woman and her child to stop eating on an MTR subway in Mandarin Chinese on a train bound for Mong Kok East Station.[15] Eating and drinking is prohibited on the MTR. While the kid stopped eating, the mother reacted with hostility towards Wai.[16] This infuriated Mr. Wai, who began to shout at them passionately in Cantonese... On 18 January Mr. Wai conducted an interview with Xinhua News Agency on the issue and expressed his anger.[16] (by calling Hong Kongers dogs)

It seems like it was not Hong Kongers that started this but a Beijing professor that called people "dogs". And the incident was pretty clear-cut on who was wrong. Although, the old man could have handled the situation better, the professor calling people "dogs" was inappropriate.

Were you genuinely misinformed? May I ask where did you get your information?

And I don't really care who started it. Two wrongs does not make one right.

I am not condoning the word "locust" either. All these words are disgusting, and have no place in a civilized discussion.
Normally antennae are constructed out of solid materials. The plasma is controlled by electricity, so the gain characteristics can be rapidly controlled and dynamically tuned in real-time (possibly).
Everyone has the chance to make one, though.
The camera bump(s) actually work really well with phone cases, allowing the phone with case to be thinner and flat.

Since almost everyone carries their phone in a case, it seems like a reasonable solution.
I predict this situation to get worse over the next couple of years and will culminate in Uber shutting down the self driving project and partnering with Waymo.

Epstein was convicted of soliciting a prostitute and of procuring an underage girl for prostitution in 2008 [see his wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein). Gates met with him in 2013.

No one's saying that meeting with Epstein was illegal, but I think that most people would avoid schmoozing with convicted pedophile sex offenders. When someone as powerful as Gates meets with someone and helps facilitate donations through them, that supports that person. Why did Gates choose to associate with and support a convicted sex offender and pedophile?

I think these are very very reasonable questions to ask
