"When I took over as CEO four years ago, I set out to reinvent HTC as a complete ecosystem company and lay the foundations for the company to flourish across 5G and XR."

Did that really work out for HTC? It seems that 5 years ago is about the last time they launched an interesting phone.

Back when the One M7 launched, it wasn't a sure bet that Samsung would become the market leader in the Android smartphone market. Since then, however, they haven't had a single unqualified hit. Even Samsung, upon facing competition from Xiaomi and Huawei, has hit back with good mid-range Smartphones this year.

ehh, I agree that its usually faster do do stuff in perl than in python, but if someone spent weeks doing something in python, that could be done in few minutes of perl, python is not the problem. And would probebly take them weeks to do it in perl as well.

There are things you can do in line of perl that will take you 5 -10 min in python, but once program goes above one liners, difference is not that big.

And of course, if you learned vim instead of emacs, you would be even faster :))

A criticism is that it is not clear if the "may stream 480p video" refers to the slower after and whether it is a "guarantee" or not really a possibility.

I wholehartedly agree on perl but can you expand on the redirection warts? I seldom had problems with perls' FHs, while, on the contrary I seem to be unable to wrap my head around the contorted syntax involved in bash's handling of descriptors - especially when more than 2 handles are involved.
> many critics of "Big Bad Pharma" who see the profitable drugs making it to market are unaware of the expensive failures that never make it that far.

But I think this image - that pharmaceutical companies are constantly risking their financial future pouring resources into research for new drugs which will finally cure some disease that has plagued humanity - is also a mischaracterization of reality.

For instance, drug companies also spend a large portion of their research budget developing "novel compounds" which are based on small chemical changes to existing drugs, just for the purpose of extending their patent and increasing the profitability (read: cost to consumer) of an existing treatment. So it's not as if all the resources they put in to research represent some altruistic good.

To be honest, I think the incentive structure for drug companies, like many things in healthcare, is just not ideal for producing the best outcomes. Their ideal business model is to own expensive drugs which sick people have to take for their entire lives. If they produce truly curative treatments, that's actually a net loss for them.

As some people have suggested, it would make a lot of sense to nationalize drug research in the US. The idea is you bring the top pharmaceutical researchers into the NIH, and while this would require a big up-front investment, you might even be able to operate at a profit by licensing the drugs they develop to the rest of the world.

Also, in a single-payer world, you would have the healthcare provider under the same financial umbrella as the people creating the drugs. As a result, the incentive would be to drive treatment costs down.

No one needs to know long division of numbers, not anymore. Source: am mathematician who didn't learn long division until I had to do it with polynomials at university (at which point it was easy due to accumulated knowledge) and that was 20 years ago. IMHO long division of numbers has been thoroughly obsolete for decades, and shouldn't be taught except as a history lesson, like slide rules or log tables.

I don't disagree with your general point, about drilling essential skills, but I'm pretty sure long division isn't one.
Facebook prohibits Services from advertising in its platforms

Hi guys!

I'm astonished: the Facebook now prohibits any ads that promote services!According to the support: those restrictions came into effect 10 days ago.I know that might completely destroy services that relies only on FB Ads channel (FB/Instagram).

Does anyone know why? What are you going to do?
Just note you do need to think about device support when using something like LineageOS.

You can see officially supported devices on the https://download.lineageos.org website

https://stats.lineageos.org/ will give you a bit of an idea of the activity for certain models.

Checking out the forums for unofficial device activity is also a good idea https://forum.xda-developers.com

Using a site like https://www.gsmarena.com/ can be useful for comparing specs. I would also suggest looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks when determining which phone to buy.

For me, I wanted one that supported Band 28 700MHz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APT_band_plan_in_the_700_MHz_b...

So It's a good idea to look at phones. The OnePlus phones tend to have good support, I think in part because of the developer seed program https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-developer-program-cus... the Xiaomi Redmi Notes are not bad either for a cheaper phone.

Yeah but applying stuff to anything that is not a text book is not school responsibility but everyones on his own.

It is like people blaming school for not teaching everything. There has to be some line because there is not enough time and money to teach people everything.

Bad side is that a lot of people think that everything they learn at school is enough. No one is going to teach you how to live your life. No one is going to hold your hand while applying complex math stuff because people who can do that have better things to do and they have limited time.

Not true. I'm pretty sure it's licensing cost. In Germany most movies have subtitles only in German, while a handful also in English -- all Netflix originals and maybe some others. Meanwhile, basically all series have English subtitles for some arcane reason.

For me Netflix is a series-only service, I've given up on finding any movie worth watching that would have English subtitles.

>So are you saying that all of the media streaming companies are wasting money creating mobile apps based on the "people you know"?

You make it sound like they waste some fortune on those, so it necessarily has to have a huge market to justify building one.

On the contrary, regardless of whether they have a big mobile watching userbase (and I'm wrong) or not (and I'm right), it still makes sense to have a mobile app.

First, the mobile app budget is a drop in the bucket compared to their operating costs (bandwidth, marketing, offices, license deals, etc). So there's not much of a waste even if nobody uses it, which makes making a mobile app available a no-brainer.

Second, it would bad (competition wise) not having one anyway, even if few really use it...

Third, even if it's just e.g. 10% that watches movies on mobile, why not get them too?

Fourth, it's note that they actually invest specially in their mobile apps to begin with. Usually they use some cross platform framework they use for their web and/or desktop version.

Fifth, do you have better numbers, or some other empirical observations from people you know? Do you see rampant movie watching on the go?

> just for the purpose of extending their patent

I don’t understand this point, though I’ve heard it before. If the original patents expire, the original drugs can be manufactured as generics right? If the new patents provide no new benefit, don’t use them?

> The idea is you bring the top pharmaceutical researchers into the NIH...

Projects I’ve seen suggests that technology development carried out in an academic context often requires significant refinement (or complete reworking tbh) when being brought to market. So, it’s not clear to me how well the model you suggest would work.

Perhaps it would be best to have a public organization that manufactures genetic drugs first and build from that. But... I think that may also have issues.
Ask HN: Ctrl+wheel zooming stutters. Is it an inherent problem of the web?
When using Ctrl+wheel zooming in/out on a web page other than a very simple ones stutters. That is, there is a delay between the Ctrl+wheel and the completion of the zooming. One zooming (25% on Chrome) may not stutter that noticeably, but if I move the wheel fast up and down to find the zooming level I need, it lags horribly. It continues zooming long after I stopped the wheel.

I had been thinking that this is because my CPU is slow, but I just checked it with the Task Manager (set to display each core), and while the page zooming stutters on Chrome, none of the cores reached 100%. Not even close. All cores were about 50%.

Then, is this not because of the CPU power but some of the layout structure blocks the CPU and causes it wait somehow and non-solvable with a faster CPU? Or is it just because my CPU is slow? If you have the fastest system, Ctrl+wheel on a website like Wikipedia in Chrome does not stutter?

Obituary for Robert Mugabe, the nationalist hero who destroyed Zimbabwe
In general, could you tell a bit about how do app downloads get estimated? Now that I'm thinking about it, I think the first way to do it is to correlate the amount of comments in your particular app section to downloads numbers that you do know and extrapolate that out, assuming that comments/downloads ratio stay the same within a particular app category.

One could test this hypothesis out on different YouTube video categories for which this obviously is known to give the assumption some quick strength or falsification.

Anyways, this is the first time I'm thinking about this question at all. I'm curious what you're allowed/able to tell us.
