I agree with you, that as one of your most used electronics, if youre constantly using it, that the little features add up at times when youre not expecting it.

But none of what you described explains why you would need a Pro instead of the standard. Its nice to have, but the base model isnt nerfed to a point that makes it unusable.

> Folks in flats with street parking also have good access to transit.

Which isn’t very helpful if you need to visit places that don’t have good access to transit.

For example my parents live in a small town about 30 minutes away by car. If I were to visit them by public transport that would be a 2+ hour journey. On a weekday. Most of my visits are on Sundays and that’s a whole different story. It would practically be impossible to visit them without taking a day off work.
I remember when there was a pirate radio station that was broadcasting from just over the Mexican border. It was in English and it was alt-rock, and their DJs would just swear and violate all the FCC rules and no one could do anything about it.

It's amazing how radios don't care about international borders. :)
That's what I was thinking of for a PocketWatch more or less. Take off the straps, somehow attach a chain to the spring bars or whatever the Apple Watch uses.

Probably needs more fashion-hacking than that, but as the phone is more stand-alone capable... one day I'm sure it'll have some ride-share apps built in, and at that point it'd be enough for a night on the town, right?

You probably don't realise how true is your comment. Except it will probably be 600 camera sensors.
Well, those three cities have in thing in common, bad governments. This Results in issues like huge homeless problems, greater taxes, and less services from the taxes.

I think they meant 11 Pro compared to the XS.
The effects of integrated mobile devices in teaching and learning
If it makes it a few more months your best bets will probably be the Nokia 6.2 or 7.2 (depending of your processor and camera desires). You're also going to need to look at the phone width for what's comfortable, a lot of the Android screens have been going for more stretched screen sizes so just the screen size may not be informative enough.
I am in the same boat. I have an S7 from one of the major carriers that came preinstalled with Facebook. You can disable it, but not uninstall. Also, there is an update to "Facebook Services" which I can't seem to find and disable. I absolutely will not get another phone from Samsung (or others) that comes with Facebook preinstalled.
No, that was closer to “more wood/fewer arrows” (but that was more about aimless toys than deliberate moonshots), which was several years before Alphabet.

Alphabet was to more cleanly separate (in branding and organizationally) the core Google business from other ventures, which moved the moonshots out of Google proper. It wasn't to kill moonshots, though it may be accurate to say it was in part about being better at maturing them.
I have liked this video by Sam Harris for several years now. It is all to easy to go through life, lost in discursive thought:

What's most disturbing is that it took 17 years. And whatever it is in the culture that uses liberty to zealously oppose regulation of fire arms and corporations but lets this stand for almost a generation. It'd be interesting to learn how these priorities came about.
Totally. For defense, I think a large third party ecosystem is pointless unless every square inch of it has been verified for compliance.

Do people think part of missile software includes “npm install wordpad”?
Here I was thinking the author was suggesting bringing back the Macintosh SE, but with, oh, a retina display, 12 cores, 4 TB of SSD, powerful mini-speakers, and ... a small drink-refrigerator or maybe a place to hold a potted plant. That would have been cool.

Edited to preface: my intention certainly wasn’t to dredge up any terrible memories. I’m sorry if it did so. It was more a remark on North American “go-go-go” culture that was forced to take a pause for a day or so.

In this part of the world many critical services like hospitals run on back up generators if the main grid goes down. It was part of the main grid that went down

There was surely chaos some places where traffic lights weren’t on backup power, but otherwise the worst things that would happen were maybe you have to close up the office or the worksite for the day. Transit was down but not much else could be done anyway.

It was bittersweet. I’m sure there were problems. I’m also sure that many people who’d never seen a star in their lives saw the sky unfolded like they might never again. It was a stark reminder how much we’ve drowned out with things that “matter”
Wait a second... this car doesn't have anti-lock brakes?
I'm not versed enough in political theory to know myself, but why have seemingly all communist movements and governments been so riddled with purges, paranoia, and violence?
You're not wrong in that both things can be true at the same time.

I think the wording that more accurately describes my thoughts would be "... legitimately surprised."
"Pro Max" is not a qualifier I would expect in an Apple product.
We ended up using ngrok for our development builds and while it's certainly a lot more setup (and it costs us money) I am pretty happy with the results and as a customer for that use case.

We sell a SaaS e2e testing product for large enterprises (clients like Microsoft/Wix/JPM etc) and this use case (serving the dev environment to the CI or between computers) was so common that we baked it into our CLI.
I don't think it is so subjective. Look at the customer satisfaction scores. You could certainly correlate those with measurable aspects of the user experience (software crashes, support handling, camera speed, render jank, etc). A lack of good hw/sw integration will show up.

As for not having the best hardware, what can you see about the A* series chips? They are industry leading year after year. Why? Apple took development in house [1]. Apple is now taking modem [2] and display technology [3] in house. They are doing all the right things.

I've seen people near me add an outdoor outlet to their house, costs a few hundred dollars. I don't know about appartments though. In another few years maybe EV's will be ubiquitous enough for apartment complexes to devote, say, 20% if their spaces to overnight EV charging.

If you care about privacy then you SHOULD say the same thing about any CDN. Sucks that there's all this awesome infrastructure that we can't use anymore, but that's the trade off.
I dont notice the same thing but we could be looking at different articles/comments on here.

anyways, i think the real issue here is just the emptiness of it. Anyone can brag they knew (or pretend they knew) that a business would fail after it already did.

and hes not providing insight. Just, it was "Terrible" and they "did it wrong".
I don't know if that's necessarily true. Look at Facebook - people say mean and vulgar things under their real name all the time, often complete with a picture of their own face. Anonymity can be a factor in the way we treat each other, but it doesn't tell us the whole story.

What's your issue with this paragraph about Toyota, exactly? I get that kaizen, with its emphasis on boring notions like quality control, slow & careful iteration, etc. is at odds with fashionable Silicon Valley ideas of blitzscaling or an under-five-years "cash out, bro down" company cycle, but it's undeniably true that Toyota did revolutionize the auto industry.
Nothing wrong with the current SE. I’m typing on it now. :-) (other than all the websites that stopped testing on small screens... looking at you Reddit).

what I find odd is Apple appears disconnected from their audience, this was not the first presentation where Tim or others seem to pause waiting for an expected cheer that was not to materialize.
Economic growth usually depends on (1) increase in consumption (2) increase in investment in long term assets (housing, markets) which lowers cost of borrowing for new businesses.

Both happen more when people have somewhat secure earnings.
Only a person who has never worked on a safety-critical application would say something ignorant like that.

Do “most people” even buy PCs, nowadays? I think most do, but also think it won’t take a decade for that to change.

You may “need” one when you’re at school or university, but i would think many people can easily do without a PC, after that.

r/Art and related subreddits really lend themselves to this. As the documenting of "related subreddits" is not standardized, reddit.com/dev/api has no way of listing them. Some write a /wiki/related page, most have it in the sidebar. Would make for an opportunity to add a webring-like "next" button.
You might be thinking of Netflix, who developed Hystrix and Ribbon.

Reliable enough to say "Wind will provide at least this much power, even on a "non-windy" day.

Also, keep in mind that wind is much, much steadier 200 feet in the air than it is on the ground, where it's subject to all sorts of disruptions and irregularities.
> Nobody likes low-performers, even when you're flush with cash. Fixing their mistakes is demoralizing for your high-performers.

If you define performance as change over time then this would seem to have nothing to do with mistakes. From what I've read about the space shuttle programmers, they would have been classified as low performance (low change over time) but who also made with very few mistakes (as I understand their process). At the other end you could have high performing programmers (lots of change) with high defects that they're always fixing (which could in turn qualify as still more change).
I like how nice and simple the webpage looks. It gets the job done! If I invite a lot of friends with a referral link are there any rewards I can get (i.e. like 1-on-1 tech interview coaching)?
Cities are already working on building street charging infrastructure. But also those people will very likely be late adopters, or just switch to other kinds of transport.
Currently the prime target for EV adoption are better off households who live further out of the city, since they can already afford the switch and sinve they have the larger carbon footprint, anyway.
Assuming you're being serious, this would look absolutely goofy as all hell (do you want to look like a goddamn kleptomaniac gorilla?), which is a dealbreaker for someone who wears watches as jewelry, i.e., someone who cares about watch aesthetics.
Good idea. But you'd need both a Firefox account, and a website that uses Cloudflare. I have neither.

Still, if this remains an open question, perhaps it's interesting enough to setup a website to test. I'd probably need at least an entry-level paid Cloudflare account, though.

Meanwhile, it'd be great if someone from Mozilla could clarify this. That is, does Firefox Private Network share users' IP addresses with websites? As Warp clearly does.

It’s an inductive puck thing that the watch aligns itself to with magnets, honestly a lot nicer than needing to plug and unplug a cable. Feels like it will last longer, and it’s much more reliable than Pebble’s spring loaded charging pins were.

Would be even better if it could charge on standard Qi pads, but no such luck. Maybe there’s something about the size of the coils, who knows?

Preprocessing the external CSS and generating static jQuery snippets like the following, works for my use case, though:

People frequently build these with Tesla coils. People also build plasma speakers, which is similar in concept.

In the somewhat-related space of fitness trackers, there are alternatives to watches: keyfobs, ankle bracelets, rings. You get heart rate, sleep tracking, alarm clocks; I don't know if any do notification buzzes as well.

I think companies will continue to explore this space because there's potential to find a big winner. But they're contending with the difficulty of miniaturisation on top of the challenge of usability.

p.s. an idea that just crossed my mind was a smartwatch in a pen. Sure, pens are too easy to lose, but it could do some interesting things with input.
I liked the Nexus 4 form factor as well. I've bounced around to larger phones, including the Nexus 6, Pixel and Pixel 2... but I recently went back to a Sony device (XZ1 compact) because it:

(1) Has a headphone jack

(2) Has the same processor as my Pixel 2

(3) Is actually a usable size (roughly the same as the Nexus 4)

I have giant hands and large pockets available but will always prefer a smaller phone.
My issue is this framing of it as "we're cutting low performers."
In theory, sure. But it’s a fact that every time I upgrade my battery life is thrashed. I end up paying for new batteries and I barely last through the day.
Over hiring is a typical mistake after raising a new round of funding. Good to hear that you agree with the layoffs. Like the old saying goes; you can't put 9 women in a room and make a baby in a month.
"Windless" is greatly overrated, for two reasons. First, utility-scale wind is built hundreds of feet in the air, not on the ground. Wind is much steadier there. And it's built in carefully selected locations for steady behavior.

Second, it's not a single location. Wind may be lower in one location, but strong in another location 50 miles away. The idea that wind goes completely dead all at once across statewide areas is not how wind actually works.
Okay, so you are an edge case... what's your point?
People just do it with Tesla coils https://youtu.be/JH-YmzZgZ-Q
I would hazard a guess that it has something to with most revolutions being riddle with purges, paranoia and violence, and then that most (AFAIK) modern revolutions are communist movements.

In other words, AFAIK (which isn't far), it's a trait of revolutions, not of communist movements.

The Watch 3 for me lasted 2 days.
Maybe add AI into solving this problem. Battery technology and AI. Should attract the VC money.
Beddit is $149. Expensive. Why not Fitbit Inspire which starts from $69 and includes sleep tracking and a lot more.
Language is common understanding (within boundaries). Sure, there is subjective understanding, but only to a point. As I understand it, the concept of ancestry in English implies a certain immutability. You can't be Asian today and African tomorrow. You can't identify as Eskimo one day and Pacific Islander the next (barring a rather unusual situation). You can't change identity like clothes. There are words for people who do that, though, "actor" being the kindest. If you want to redefine the meanings of these terms, fine, but then we're no longer using the same words, even if the syllables happen to sound the same.

I never said 1227 and don't know why you are picking that year. I picked Genghis Khan because supposedly most everyone has some of his genes.
Works about fine, also just makes the cut for iOS 13 support.
Asymmetric's Kingdom of Loathing is free-to-play, with paid premiums. The pay-premium items generally translate into being the first to access new game content, and obviate any need to collect the in-game currency to access it.

The developers explicitly set a goal that all game content would be accessible by spending only in-game currency, which is usually accomplished by those players who paid real money selling their unlock items for in-game currency via the trade/market/mall system. For instance, when visiting "That 70s Volcano" via a permanent pass, the paid player can collect "volcoino" tokens, trade some of them for a single-day ticket to the zone, and sell that in the mall for meat. The unpaid player buys the ticket with meat, uses it (consuming the item), and can visit "That 70s Volcano" for one day.

There are no timers. Every day, at a specific time, everyone gets a quantum of
"adventures", which are kept if not spent, up to a cap of 200. Certain actions in the game can add additional adventures. You spend your adventures, at any time you please, and then you're done until the next day.

This system has been the best free-to-play game setup I have ever experienced. The devs actively try to avoid pay-to-win. It's mainly pay-for-convenience and pay-for-prestige/fashion. Everything you can buy for real-world cash can be bought for meat, and a lot of the items that were attainable for real-world cash in the past can still be bought for [more] meat. It intentionally avoids all three of the three trade-offs in the article.

Don't you charge your phone, in range of your computer?
I don’t have humidity problems but it’s a nuisance in the kitchen if I have a recipe up on the iPad. Whatever’s on my hands I have to wash off and then thoroughly dry. Depending on how messy my hands are, sometimes I’ll swipe sideways and type in the passcode with a clean knuckle.

If I didn’t need clean fingers to unlock TouchID to begin with, iPad OS’s new voice control accessibility feature would be great for in the kitchen. No need to touch the tablet at all any more.
New model suggests triboelectricity, flexoelectricity and friction are linked
It was awkward to read this it sounds eerily similar to my company.

We’ve been using two capital one cards for all of our expenses (in the hundreds of thousands per month), and have really enjoyed the benefits of 2% cash back.

The biggest issue is the credit limit. Even after 12 months of making 4-6 payments for the entire credit limit throughout the month (we max the card out every week at least), they still won’t give us the limit we need. Sometimes they even make up bogus excuses on the credit request response form Such as “account cost too high” (or something like that)
Honestly I never really understood the need to chase the newest flagship given the premium price. I probably upgrade about once a year to 18 months, and purchasing the prior model flagship saves me about 60% to 70%. I upgraded to the pixel 2xl shortly after the 3 came out for about $260. Even being able to afford it I just feel I'm getting ripped off at $1000.

Yeah I replaced mine at the Apple Store this year (Apple covered it). Now I get well over a day's battery on it, amazing. Granted, I intentionally avoid installing hefty apps so that would also help achieve this kind of battery life.

Before that it would die in ~2hrs and instantly die in high heat.
I believe that you have the power dynamic reversed. I.e. The drivers will go where the customers are more than the customers will go where the drivers are.

A driver only gets paid if a passenger rides. If Uber increases the costs of their rides over a competitor, the the customers will opt to the competition.
I think they meant the people that become your real family. It doesn’t have to be marriage. It can be a select of friends where a strong bond has formed.
> Which isn’t very helpful if you need to visit places that don’t have good access to transit.

When you want to go out of town, either you take a train or bus, or if it's out into nature / rural areas with poor bus service - you rent a car. Some cities even have a "car pool renting" service, e.g. car2go: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car2go
I understand the obsession with margins, but at this point they're really taking risks with brand loyalty.

My 2009 MacBook Pro could still handle pretty much any 2019 computing I need to do, but the new OSs won't support it. That's understandable really, but how sorry is it that the 2019 keyboard is so bad that I prefer my 2009 model, even though it's slower to wake and boot.

My SE handles all phone tasks I throw at it, no problem (maybe the battery life could be better), but I hate all the new models. Apple pretty much perfected the laptop around 2014 and the phone with the SE in 2016. These are classic styles that were the culmination of a decade of design tweaks and component improvements. Each of those older generations could have been maintained with no more than small improvements in components (e.g., SSD) and ports going forward (until some kind of revolution in computing interfaces) and they would have happier customers.
Do comma.ai make this data available for researchers, or is this something that they are hoping to monetise?
I'm talking specifically about the allegations that Dershowitz committed rape, not his actions as a defense lawyer.

I'm not quite grasping the use case - even if the front desk staff does know your name and face, don't they still need to check your credits?

My local gym has an app with a QR code, which you just scan as you go in. This sounds like a reasonable tech solution to the actual problem. I have to imagine someone out there has packaged this kind of thing as an off-the-shelf solution.
