I love his book "Why we sleep" and I think most people today should read it.

People take pride in sleeping less than they should which is pretty fucked up in my opinion.

1. Square waves also work. That's the Hadamard transform.

2. Individual neurons produce very short spikes (action potentials). EEGs measure those spikes in aggregate, which creates a very noisy and not at all sinusoidal signal. The Greek letters denote particular frequency bands, so if a graph of "alpha waves" looks somewhat sinusoidal, it's because the signal has been filtered to suppress other frequencies.
>Electricity is already ubiquitous, we just need to install the chargers.

And actually provide enough power.

I mean, a street lamp is usually (traditional lamp) 250 W, a modern (led) lamp 80-100 W, there is no way the existing infrastructure (cables and before them transformers) will be able to provide 10 or 15 or 20 kW (at each post).

Typically street lamps are 30 m or so apart, and in that gap at least 6 or 7 car (maybe more) park in a city.

If they become most (or prevalently) electric each post will have 6 car connected.

Even with 1/3 coincidence factor, further divided by two (assuming that people will charge their cars every two days), we are talking anyway of 6*10/6= 10 kW per post, whihc means that to power a 300 m stretch of street you need a 100 kW dedicated transformer.

And a receptacle is "lost" for the whole night (or day).

I mean, you come back home around 19:30 and plug your car in a lamp post power receptacle, even if your car is fully charged after - say - 4 hours, are you really going to go out at 11:30, unplug your car and move it to another spot (IF there is a free one) in order to allow another person to charge his/her car?

And how long will be the charging cable (the one you have on board)?

It must be at least 20 m long to reach the lamp post if the parking spot you find is in the middle of two lamp posts.

> Russia's liberty deprivation is beginning to show itself - again - in their economic regression (eg falling incomes for 5-6 years) and general stagnation.

Let's be fair, the last few years recession in Russia was largely, if not entirely, caused by post-Crimea sanctions and crashed global oil prices, it had little if anything to do with liberty deprivation.

As to the general point, nobody in Russia knows or cares how well off an average American is. People care how well off they are relative to their own yesterday. Russians know they have it better today than in the 90s, and they (think they) know whom to thank for that. I guess same goes for Chinese as their economy has been growing wildly at the time, although I have no personal experience there.

To be extra clear, this does not mean at all that autocracy contributed to that growth in any positive way – most probably the opposite, – only that it appears so from the inside, as without freedom of speech it is very easy for the regime to take credit for any improvements and blame the west for any setbacks. Russia excels at that game domestically, which explains why Russians are largely fine with the relatively small amount of freedoms they're enjoying. Again, probably a similar situation in China.

Typical consumerism. I have siblings who did the same for a fancy bed. These people are mostly helpless. And you're only an employee.. I'm sure it's not great to try to turn a customer away from a sale right ? Even as a sibling, unless I'm ready to start a family war there's no leverage.

The social pressure for having "an old phone" most have been incredibly high.

Similar to this, I think some people trade off the back of "woke" twitter storms. They buy stock at the peak of the outrage cycle and sell when everyone has moved on to the next.

Ok, so you say I just imagined it.
It is misleading to lump people billing at $100s/hr with drivers, shoppers, dog walkers, etc. But what's the median billing rate for the "gig economy"? Given my experience with consulting, it seems odd to use the "gig" label.

But whatever, it did suck to pay ~$1K per month for health insurance.
You can almost generalize to computers. It's still crazy the pace of pocket hardware has gone through. But these machines have more oomph than a pixar workstation in the 90s, the vast majority of the users will never even need 50% of that.
It's kind of sad really. Businesses prey on the human condition and there's nothing we can do about it because, well, Apple's not really breaking the law and we all like good cellphones.

I often come across South Asian women driving for Uber in London while their kids are in nursery / primary school. Uber's flexibility seems to fit perfectly with a more modern view of labour vs child rearing responsibilities.

There's nothing about sporting a notch that's problematic, except when it comes to OCD.

If it didn't have the notch it would just have a larger bezel on a side, or some BS like a popup camera.

The "camera behind screen" idea barely works (for obvious reasons), and is hardly what would revolutionize mobile hardware. It's an aesthetic concern, not a functional one.

Things that might do that, larger camera sensors (e.g. 1"), week or more long batteries, total voice control, etc.

> How can this be objective if you think that everyone is a "bad" programmer that uses this or that language, wtf.

I get the feeling the author is either not trying to be objective, or is one of those people who confuses strident opinion for objective fact. "PHP is bad and everyone who uses it is bad" is a meme that some people take seriously... and one that also applied to javascript until Node.js appeared and it became valuable, interestingly enough.

I would say there are no objectively bad languages, just bad code (which can be written in any language), or languages which aren't used in an optimal way, since every one was created with a specific frame of mind and intended use case. PHP serves its purpose, and if someone doesn't want to use it, they can just not use it. Obviously PHP has pros, if it didn't, no one would use it.
Our product managers user clubhouse constantly and love it.

Club house has done a great job of organising information into stories, epics, milestones, projects.

All task manager products have some variation on these components but I've found clubhouses organisation of them to be the best.

It allows you to very quickly view the data differently depending on the context: stand up, sprint planning, PM trying to figure what's going on and what should be next.

My gut is that it turns out the way developers want to organise there work is actually a really sensible way of doing it, and so it scales up the management stack well.
As it is in just about every other developed economy.
That would hardly be the weight, since it's quite (to very much) less than older phones we all used in the 90s and 00s, and early 10s...

Ask HN: Has Android 10 OTA update worked for you?
I've tried several times to update my Pixel 3 XL to Android 10. Each time, it has been stuck after rebooting. The only way to use the phone after that is to reboot several times, until the phone reboots into Android 9.

It seems like many others have the same problem:

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/13519859?hl=en

I contacted Pixel support via live chat, but the person who tried to help me:

- claimed that no one else had reported this problem before (even though there are many reports of this problem over the last week on Google's own forums)

- gave me incorrect information multiple times

- recommended troubleshooting steps which were not known to be a solution to the problem I was having

- gave me only one option to escalate the issue (get an email from a supervisor within 24 hours)

I did receive a follow-up email, but again it included generic troubleshooting steps which did not reflect the information I had provided during the chat.

I really don't want to do a factory reset, as it's really time-consuming to set up Google Authenticator for 10+ services, do a backup/restore of WeChat chats etc. And I don't see why I should have to do this, when Google promises security updates for this device until October 2021. If the only way to get the next update is to do a factory reset, that doesn't seem reasonable.

Am I in the minority? Did the update work for most people and/or did you get useful support from the Pixel support team?
> this isn't just a capitalism problem, the Soviet Unions centralized economy (...)

Despite the label, USSR/PRC can hardly be called communism. They are various forms of State-capitalism: all the institutions (wage slavery, prisons, secret police, industry, propaganda) remain that of any capitalist society.

See "There is no communism in Russia" or "Trotsky protests too much" by Emma Goldman for historical context about why USSR vs US or Trotsky vs Staline are false dilemmas between tyrannic ideologies.

> This is a humanity problem.

Indeed, all empires (or "civilizations") share the same problems. Only by actually changing the structures of power can we try to achieve a different outcome.

Although, it's arguably late to save our planet from capitalists / pretend-communists. These long-toothed vampires will NEVER stop until the last drop they can suck out of it.

Already a million species are facing extinction. Yet it's business as usual. These psychopaths couldn't care less about other people or the planet they stand on. We as humans could do so much better...
I started meditating 9 years ago and do yoga once a week and am pretty sure that if I made a lifestyle out of it i could reduce sleep need however I suspect the hours of sleep I gain will be used to meditate so in the end you don't gain that much in terms of free time per day.

You might be more productive per minute after meditating but that's another discussion

I think there have been some designs like this but maybe only on mobile cores.
Mostly sound logic and I switched to the iPhone 5 years back after a similar calculation. Only, the 6s started becoming wonky in 3 years and I most definitely missed _some_ Android features.

When it was time to upgrade, it apparently also became time for apple to jack up the price of their flagship to a thousand bucks and I just vehemently avoided that out of principle.

Looking at alternatives,the Galaxy seemed like a reasonably similar premium (not polished software fosho) phone, but sticker price was similar to iPhones. However thos things go on sale a lot. Nabbed a S9 few months after release for 500 and looks like it'll last me three years at least. Super happy with the hardware (and software actually) as well.

The only "flaw" in your logic above is that in principle an iPhone probably can last 4 years but that's not constant - models from them are sometimes just not as reliable (we talking 4 year reliability vs 3) and it's not just a thousand dollars, it's thousand and tax and bells and whistles (which for apple is always more). Plus you now have a premium phone that you better don't break or scratch (if you want to sell) or you're out a very large number of Benjamins.

Here in the US I'm personally forgoing health insurance to pursue my craft while developing software on the side for extra income. One medical emergency will end it all. I've often wondered myself if, in a country with universal healthcare, people would be more willing to take risks and start businesses, pursue their art, develop inventions, etc. Would love to see an analysis of the economic cost of not having universal healthcare in terms of startups not pursued, inventions not made, etc.

You're absolutely right. That's why there are so few jobs, businesses, universities, or cultural attractions in the bay. Nobody lives there anymore.
I use my phone so much now that all the actual differences in a more expensive device are significant. Even with the Pro ones it’s a bit like buying a mechanical keyboard. Does it really do anything a £3 OEM keyboard doesn’t? My phone was about the same price as my 3 year old i7 laptop and the processor is faster. It’s a more useful device to me.
I would love to see the pricing of their chips to understand the upgrade cycle. It looks like A10->A11 transitioned them from 16 to 10 nm, I wonder if the newer process is still appreciably more expensive for them?

It's hard to name the more expensive version to convey it's better without in turn suggesting the cheaper one is shittier.

If you know the history of this issue it is based on reinterpretation of Basic Law Hong Kong people asked for limiting legitimate spouses and children of Hong Kong residents to re-unite as a family in Hong Kong.

It's the most inhuman treatment Hong Kong people forced China to take against human rights and UNHCR guideline. Today Hong Kong SAR is the only exception in this world which makes its own citizens stateless and deny them rights as enshrined in UN conventions and guidelines.

Today China is able to interpret Basic Law is a result of this, which Hong Kong wanted for economic benefits.

So part of the blame for current situation is still with Hong Kong people, who wanted China to reinterpret basic law for its own economic interest. Obviously it was a dual edged sword so now it's inflicting injury on other side. China is well within it's right to interpret Basic Law, given Hong Kong people asked for it on the first place and opened the doors.

PHP unique pros:

- Cheap (almost every cheap/free hosting supports it without any extra config)
- Easy (can other languages beat this out of the box: `$_POST["name"]` ?)
- Wordpress

PHP things that are not unique but good:

- Huge market (if you are into bootstrapping your business, there are lots of opportunities and low hanging fruit in PHP)
- Lots of big open source projects to customize or work on top of (nextcloud, etc...)

Things that you need in order to appreciate PHP:

- Have a product mindset
