> Apple discontinued the iPhone SE at the tail end of 2018 and has stated that the next iOS update will not run on the old SE hardware.

Apple has in fact stated that iOS 13 will run on the SE:

I believe the internals are approximately the same as the 6S, and I would expect that both will be supported for the same amount of time.
Is google going to sell data obtained from this collaboration to the advertizers? Insurance companies?
It's hard to work on a product that you didn't even use... or do not want to use.

Maybe the fundamental key is to work on a product that you care, that you want to use... I think it's important being proud of your job to keep motivation high.

Something like that I think.
Do they list the RAM capacity anywhere? It feels odd not to. (but then it's also a spec where Apple's been decisively beaten in the past, so it makes some sense not to show) I haven't been able to find it on either of the specs pages [0] [1].

I hear you, I upgraded from the 6S to the XS last year. I love both phones, but the 6S was simpler since I didn't need a dongle for headphones. The jump was great for the screen size, but I hate sacrificing the headphones.
EDIT: Never mind, OP is right, I had this wrong. Thanks, 333c.

Apple discontinued the iPhone SE at the tail end of 2018

Actually it was on September 12, 2017, the day they announced the iPhone X [1], even if they had it on sale for a while early this year.

Do you use any other Apple products? I feel the same way about paying a premium for a phone I don't like, but iMessage is what is keeping me from switching (back) to Android.

My personal computer is a 2014 MacBook. My work computer is a MacBook. Being able to message freely from my laptop to others on iMessage is a really nice feature.
Most people want a better camera in their next phone. These days it’s the thing that improves most between generations.

Most people buy the XR/11 phone. So obviously the volume phone needs a camera upgrade too. I don’t think most buyers (even of Apple phones) care much about the esthetics and design of the thing.
My impression is that at a large company it's easier to cut in broad strokes and then hire for specific roles.

Many companies, certainly Uber as well, do smaller force reductions where the employees have ~60 days to find an internal role, after which they're laid off. It sounds like the same thing, but, it allows you to possibly keep the employees.
Ozilla Launches VPN as Part of Resurrected Firefox Test Pilot Program
honestly, the XS/XR one was the same for me. I have an iPhone X and there was zero temptation to upgrade to XS/XR and a meh amount to the 11/11 Pro (11R/11S).

I think phone advancement cycles have hit a point where I'm kind of underwhelmed from everyone and that's fine. I just want Apple to come out with one using USB-C instead of Lightning (to match iPad Pro and MacBook Pro and being able to rid myself of my lightning cables), 5G (for future proofing), and maybe in-display fingerprint.

I could go for a model like that and my next upgrades will probably just be the batteries until it bites the dust.
The article says they're trying to reduce overlapping and redundant work, and restructuring teams in a way such that they intersect less implies they run more efficiently, so they only options at this point are to lay people off or find new projects for them to do. The former makes the most sense considering how little money Uber is making and how their bottom line might increase if they legally become employees (minimum wage, health insurace, threat of unionization, etc)
Hackaday has written several articles about Rust, though I don't believe any of them were by this author.

They could do away with the phone app, and I'd be just fine. It's my least favorite part of my phone.

Trial and error as a programmer dealing with depression and anxiety accounts for a lot, but for resources I'd point you to Robert Sapolsky's lectures on Behavioral Biology (here: https://youtu.be/NNnIGh9g6fA). Sapolsky's lectures are great for getting a Biology perspective to how human's operate. Jordan Peterson's has lectures on Personality (here: https://youtu.be/kYYJlNbV1OM) which are also great and echo similar ideas from a Psychology perspective.

Understand How Hackers Work
The iPhone X, XS, and 11 Pro are all the same size. They rebranded the awkward middle size from XR to just 11.
I bought the SE for my kid ($149 on Amazon) as he was getting frustrated when using my old iPhone 4 which was slow and unresponsive. He absolutely loves it and I'm kind of jealous of how small, lightweight and portable it is vs my iPhone XS - definitely the best price/form factor for kids and can definitely see the appeal of smaller phones esp. if you don't spend a lot of time in using App's or browsing where the small screen real-estate hurts UX.
Sorry for the cynicism, but this worries me.

> This strategic partnership will combine Google’s cloud and AI capabilities and Mayo’s world-leading clinical expertise to improve the health of people—and entire communities—through the transformative impact of understanding insights at scale. Ultimately, we will work together to solve humanity’s most serious and complex medical challenges.

I'm sorry but this is just pure silicon valley speak. Are Mayo's patients really going to know what Google is doing with their clinical data? When I hear "partnering with Google to create machine-learning models for serious and complex disease", I have a hard time believing Mayo patients know what they are signing away when they consent to this (if at all, which is not mentioned?)

When developing for iphone, react native uses xip (i think?) to have direct access to the development server on the laptop. Apple does not allow connecting to the ip directly. Details: https://github.com/facebook/react-native-website/blob/master...
I was hoping for USB-C and no camera bump on the back. Just make the phone 1mm thicker and add some extra battery. I guess that would be too much... We have to live with the "up to 4h" extra battery life that would probably translate in 1h of extra battery in the real world. It's just depressing.

Amen on the masterpiece.

I'm precisely in the same boat, but what are the iOS alternatives? There are none. Wouldn't touch anything Android with a long pole, because it has Google attached to it. Windows phone is a joke (if it still exists)... and there's nothing else that's not a dumb phone, is there?
This happened 200m from where I live. It was pretty bad. I think they initially considered this might have been a terrorist attack and they basically sent everything with wheels and sirens to the scene. I'm not joking. Dozens of police vehicles; fire trucks, and ambulances. The whole area was blocked for traffic most of the night.

It's not yet clear completely what happened but knowing the street and local situation, I can make an educated guess that this guy was looking to make it past the green/orange light for the pedestrian crossing, swerved left to avoid some traffic/obstacles near the construction site on his side of the road before the crossing and then lost control before plowing over the traffic light (destroyed completely) into four people waiting to cross. One possible reason for him having to swerve left may have been some traffic emerging from the side road (no traffic light there). This would be hard to see if you are driving way too fast. Also there's a construction site with some scaffolding right before that crossing; which further reduces visibility. They had an temporary traffic light there for a few weeks recently but it was removed again.

The problem is not SUVs as such but a culture of unsafe driving being OK and the police looking the other way as a matter of policy (because car lobbies).

The accident happened 150m from a police station on the same street. If the driver knew that; he apparently did not care and in all likelihood was speeding anyway. Cars in Berlin jump red lights, double park, and speed throughout the city with a very low chance of getting caught. So, this is not unusual. On an average bike ride through the city you'll see all of that happening multiple times. Most crossings with traffic lights don't have cameras. I've never seen a speed camera in Berlin; I'm not even sure there are any at all. The local culture is "it's all fine". Drivers behave accordingly. Also, the fines are pretty low if you do get caught compared to other countries.

Another issue is that Berlin does not seem to have safety very high on the agenda when doing construction work. The road in question went through a lengthy and expensive reconstruction project that took something like five years that was only finished a few years ago. This was a great and missed opportunity to make the road safer. This crossing definitely was poorly designed. You have two roads crossing each other there without traffic lights and then a traffic light right after the crossing just for the pedestrian crossing.

Kindle Fire is dead fwiw. There were stats that Kindle line itself has slowed down but I don't know what the trajectory of iPads been like in the last two years.
Really wanted to like Apple's "notchy" phone as my next work phone... but that notch was just too much. Shame, rest of it seems pretty nice.
Yes, but with at least an inch knocked off the screen size.
The September 2019 Patch Tuesday Review
Nuclear also has high operating costs, just not fuel costs.

Solar can generally just be left alone for weeks or months at a time. Nuclear however needs security guards, regular maintenance, a highly trained workforce, large insurance premiums etc. On top of that it also needs some fuel.

What’s happening with Nuclear is these older power plants occasionally need a significant overhaul and it’s at that point where they are considered too expensive.

PopSockets. In my neck of the woods they are almost as common as phone cases. Some men also use them.
Oh sure, I think everyone understands and expects this to some extent. But the Pro model should not have the same base storage as the non-Pro model. Especially with all the emphasis on the professional-level cameras on the iPhone Pro.
Sounds like you went the corporate route in your career, which is totally fine. Compared to the startup route, it has its pros and cons, one of which is HR filters and people gaming the system to advance their careers. Just wanted to say that it’s not everyone’s experience, there’s a whole other world where that’s not a problem, but.. you know, there are different issues.
$700 for the 11 is quite a good price for a phone that's going to last several years.

The pixel 4 is going to have to come in at quite a good price to stop me from jumping ship to apple.
It's difficult to reliably do one and not the other for some people, myself included.
Serious question: what does Uber need 27k employees for?

1k people to run the show in the main headquarters + some small-ish ~50-100 people regional offices should be enough to keep the company running.
> There was one recent one that even asked “What’s a pirate’s favorite letter?”, and the bot had noticed the answer was being given in the form of letters, but I don’t think a single instance of the bot proposed “r”. But it does not understand humor in the /slightest/.

To me this actually sounds hilarious, if it is as you describe it. It's the kind of joke you'd find on The Office:

Dwight: "What's a pirate's favourite letter?"
Jim: "M"
Jim: "N"
Jim: "O"
Jim: "P"
Jim: "Q"
Jim: "..."
Jim: "S"

I wasn't really hoping for these since it was pretty clear they wouldn't be announced, but:

Some studies show that as much as 16% of people experience some level of trypophobia... My spouse has it pretty bad and confirmed it triggers her. Even to me there's something a little disturbing about it.

The women around me adopted larger phones earlier, because they had purses to carry them in.
From my experience, singing Travis Kalanick's praises (at least on HN) has generally been met with resistance. I remember everyone piling on him about that (what I thought was a relatively innocuous) company retreat memo a few years ago.

This notch is only seen by non-iPhone users. It disappears completely and immediately.
I have an Air 2 as well but my screen is cracked. The glued glass/display is great however the cost to repair is nearly equal to what I paid (on sale). The current ipad does not have a similar display setup.

I'm waiting for the rumoured SE sequel in march. If that doesn't come out, none of it really excited me.
Better computational photography with added camera hardware, new immersive audio algorithms, on-CPU changes for optimized ML matrix computations, etc, are not "small spec bumps". If you think they are it's likely because companies like Apple are so incredible at delivering this kind of stuff that it seems routine.
I know just enough about the front end to call myself a “full stack developer” and get past the HR filters. But front end developers are a dime a dozen and the pay shows it. I keep up just enough in case I need a job now and I want to get something fast.

When the day comes that I do decide to leave my job and I leave by choice, I’m staying buzzword compliant enough to be an overpriced “cloud consultant”, “digital transportation consultant” or whatever the hype of the day is.

But, I wouldn’t take a job doing Angular knowing that React is more popular and I would rather add React to my resume than Angular.
I can't see any reasonable threat model which makes an attacker on public wi-fi seeing someone accessing particular domain more dangerous than ISP or VPN provider seeing same.
For me as occasional observer, the first shot across the bow was the Uber S1. It seems to have made a lot of people pause and question the business models of other companies as well. Nobody jumping ship, but caution in the winds.

Google is pretty well-known for maintaining a very deep bench-- if an engineer isn't effective in some role, they'll just move them to some other team. Heck, a lot of hires (especially 3rd/last attempt) go directly to the bench. This strategy pays off well when a new competitor (like Facebook or Uber) comes along and snatches up people in the lead roles, or if the company feels the need to pivot to something really fast (e.g. Google+, which drew from many teams across the entire company).

Moreover, hiring a long-term employee today versus tomorrow might save money for a place like Google, assuming we expect competition and wages to continue to increase.

It strikes me that if Uber is laying off software engineers, their company outlook must be very, very dire. A layoff is perhaps better strategy than firing the bottom 5%, which would likely preclude the departed from re-joining at a better time. But probably the wrong message to send to a cohort like software engineers-- a layoff is a legal confirmation that the company made a big mistake.

Information. Google is already like the privatized arm of the NSA in a sense. Most people don't like oversharing with any one company.
Ive been using iOS 13 and am not liking the haptic touch enhancements like...

1. Now to delete an app from homescreen I have to choose from a menu and then click the X to delete. Inside the menu I usually see "share this app," which for me holds no value.

2. The worst is haptic touch in Safari. While scrolling now Im constantly tapping a link and opening a maddening preview window. Terrible... anyone know how to turn that off?

Hmmm... You say that but my music collection is 3+ tb of flacs so that's not fitting on any sd card currently. I have a 64gb phone with a 200gig SD card in and whenever I consider getting a larger one, or a phone with more storage I realise that there's no point as I'm only thing to get another free percent of music on there. Given that I routinely copy/listen/delete music to my phone I'm not sure in practice there's a lot of difference between a 64/128gb phone with an SD card slot and just a 32/64gb phone without it.
Sure, like an iPhone X but the size of the SE. Cursory Google searching for comparing SE vs X Display sizes:

- SE: 4.0" (10.16 cm)

- X: 5.8" (14.73 cm)

(source: https://www.gadgetsnow.com/compare-mobile-phones/Apple-iPhon...)

X's display is 45% larger, but the phone's total size is larger too.
Feature set.

I have a Garmin FR645 "smart" watch. It lasts two weeks between charges if I don't use GPS a lot; if I run 5 times in the week (w/ GPS on) it'll go most of a week between charges.

But, it doesn't have much of an app ecosystem. Just a few widget-type things. Notifications are basic, and mostly unidirectional. The screen is nowhere near as nice as an Apple Watch. And no cellular.

But, for basic smart things - GPS, simple notifications, and telling time - it's excellent. And costs less than the Apple.

Until Apple can make their watch last most of a week, I'll stick with slightly dumber smart watches that I don't have to think about too much.
Statistically "everyone" who graduated in the Great Recession is still a year or two at least (and in some cases far more) from paying off student loans. Statistically we're a generation of nothing but debt with no savings to fallback on because we've never had a long enough "peace time" of growth to pay back our creditors.

It's wonderful to imagine some hypothetical reality where you had enough saved to survive an entire year looking for a job. What privilege you would have! Presumably you have no health problems because CORBA is broken again and the current administration crippled HCA guarantees because who needs affordable health care when you don't have a current employer. It feels like you might as well wish for a Pegasus to fly you to all your job interviews while you are at it.

We've all earned our cynical stripes here, but thanks for offering a lovely fantasy.

> Time spent designing and architecting isn't free either and, for a lot of people, 'implementing' is the only viable means of testing designs and architecture, and more importantly whether there are any (potential) customers.

That's exactly the problem I see. We're going about it backwards. Shouldn't you start something because you have a customer need and not start something and then find a customer?
You get the students other universities didn't pick. That means that you often get strange correlations at mid level schools, such as the dumbest students took AP while the smartest students didn't since AP classes helps with school admission.

That is similar to the brilliant jerk effect, if a person is smart enough to get a job at a top company but didn't they are very likely going to be a jerk. So brilliant jerks are not a thing at top companies, but at mediocre companies which picks what the top didn't they have to choose between brilliant jerks and dim friendly people making it seem like brilliant people are often jerks.
