Not disagreeing we've moved on from it a bit in some places, but.. "Everything is a file" never meant "everything is a disk file" - think of std{in,out,err} or network sockets. The implications are more around having a standard set of syscalls for moving data in and out of a program, abstracting away where it actually lives and treating the data itself as something opaque.

I wouldn't bother just for the camera.

The Huawei P30 Pro,for example has an astonishing set of cameras on it - and I often use it as a companion to my "proper" camera.

Though for me at least, the biggest thing that keeps me using an actual camera is the tactile nature of the controls.

I think you would struggle to find one as light as iPhone but maybe take a look at models like the Ricoh GR3, any of the Fuji X series cameras (disclaimer, I have an XT3 and an XT10) or if you are feeling spendy, the Leica Q

Personally I’m not the biggest fan of wayland (I haven’t found a compositor I like and using OpenGL for everything including VTEs feels like a mistake.) but I will say it’s common knowledge (as far as I’m aware) that nvidia drivers on Linux are pretty bad and you’re not going to have a good experience with them no matter what kind of display manager you use.
I bought and returned one a year ago.

I found that the two use cases I wanted most...:

* quick note taking

* syncing and reading long books

didn't work out that well.

As the author says, APIs for syncing are no fun. I also found that the tablet didn't keep up with my writing quickly enough at all.

It also didn't really allow for "let me just jot this down and then check it out later on my PC". Like, all I wanted was a "notes-<timestamp>.png" automatically in a folder on my PC to look at later, and that seemed completely impossible.

And what would make CEOs of private corporations any more likely to deal with this power responsibly?

At least government agencies are in theory bound to laws, moral obligations and a democratic process. Meanwhile, private entities don't even have to pretend to work in anyone else's interest than their own.

And "you don't have to buy it" is no excuse. If you seriosly want to abolish the state completely, then the same problems that are currently solved by public infrastructure will still exist. You'll be just as unable to opt-out of private roads are you are currently unable to opt-out of public roads.

Of course we're actually talking about chips in your brain, not roads. So good luck opting out of that.
A good alternative seems to be Onyx Boox Max2 which seems to be more open (android based and can use all the normal apps including sync etc), have similar functionality and can also work as an external hdmi screen.

Ask HN: Do you think deplatforming works?
There was a post in Humans of New York about someone explaining how he manipulates women, and people were debating that just giving platforms to such ideas is bad.
Also thinking about the recent events related to 4chan.

Without debating the ideas themselves, what do you think the impact of deplatforming is? Do you think it is effective?
The Unreal Engine is less than a modern game. The actual game is obviously missing. Also, you need engine specific editing tools to make a 3d game that looks more advanced than minecraft. It is a mistake to exclude them just because the don't have to be shipped with the final product.

This is how it works here. We have local, cantonal and federal laws; the laws to vote on are presented in packages once every two months (so every time, people vote on both local and federal laws). Our participation is not a joke.

Every Swiss citizen can propose a law to be voted on one of the next referendums, provided that they will collect the appropriate minimum number of signatures in its support.

People stood up to the warrant-less searches but were disposed of one way or another. A good example is the Qwest CEO: he wasn't killed, but he was jailed after acting in his own self interest after his company was ruined.

There are occurrences that are less clear cut but still suspicious and that involve long prison terms or death.

>Put is this way: Why should I get my safety as a US person put at risk so someone can publicize their story that someone leaked something again? In that video at 1:00. He's trying to make it so classification basically no longer has meaning, if they defect to a journalist.

You're wanting to trade freedom for security. I disagree that that is a good idea. You also do not know that he is trying to do that; certainly he has not stated as such.

He exposed high crimes. That is why people think he should not suffer punishment.

>For the sake of encouraging understanding: I think constitution is used as a way to imply subjectivity of what feels right.

That is true in the sense that all laws are only what "feels" right. There is a long history of the US federal government twisting laws to give the federal government more power.

It really feels like you're trolling, the last statement does not seem to follow any way I try to read it.

I can acknowledge that yes, there are people out there who want to kill you and take your stuff. Defunding the defense apparatus of the US is not a valid solution. But neither is the status quo.

Perhaps ironically, Israel condemned apartheid South Africa in the UN as part of a motion on the topic in the 60s.

With that said, they had early, good relations as SA recognized Israel very early on, with a Prime Minister in support of Zionism, and this remained so for decades.

The idea of nuclear weapons is not to hit the opponent by surprise, but to deter them from attacking you in the first place.
If companies invent the tech, the governments will be able to use it no matter what. 90% of all the things China is using are based on Silicon Valley research. Plus, even if you don't let TSA or the police have the scanners, it would still be possible to subpoena companies for your latest thoughts as they happen.

/The only/ way to not allow this to be the absolute end of privacy is to have the technology be shaped in an incredibly ethical way that makes such privacy violations fundamentally impossible.

Store close to no data. Constantly encrypt whatever data you do store and keep it on the device itself. Constantly cycle keys. Make brain scanners absolutely worthless unless the user consciously authenticates themselves.

Requiring all brain scanners to be 100% fully open (full on GPLv3 including the hardware plans) and physical networking kill switches would be a good start.

All of this is not even new advice - there are quite a few outspoken people out there against any sort of data collection. But whether you agree with them or not, you must agree that the line in the sand must be drawn somewhere - and it definitely should not allow collecting people's thoughts.

Trying to extend the Google and Facebook model of siphoning as much of your data as possible to also include thoughts should literally be a crime against humanity.
I'm not sure an exact grid reference would help delivery drivers in many urban areas. There is just too much stuff jumbled on top and behind each other plus shadowed from an accurate GPS signal.

> Governments usually gets exemptions from privacy laws, so in a way that's more worrying - government access is less likely to be stopped than private access.

Yes, because private companies are regulated. By the state.

Meanwhile, private companies have nevertheless managed to make surveillance and ridiculously detailed tracking into a whole industry.

> Also, people won't have the choice when they're compelled to be scanned on arrest vs logging in to some optional private business.

Except in reality, this stuff has long since stopped being optional. If you buy any reasonably modern car, you'll be tracked by private companies. If you have a bank account, you'll be tracked by private companies. If you write an email... you get the point. How exactly do you opt-out of that?
I find it ludicrous that we’re still not using GPS coordinates as addresses. My address would look something like

First Last

Basically the “ZIP city, state” line should be replaced by coordinates; 4 decimals are precise to 11 meters.

And in less dense areas you might not need the second line either:

18.0000 -7.0000

The same reason none of the previous quotes apply to actors without political power. They do not have the ability to compel people to surrender to unlimited search on penalty of death. This is only reserved and pursued by holders of political authority.

Removing the duty to obey and the right to coerce is the only solution to this problem in the long term. Anything less and they will keep pushing for it loudly and outright doing it as long as they believe they can get away with it. Which, let's be honest in reference to the way rubber stamping of anything that is requested in the name of national security, is basically always, in practice.

Rubber doesn’t hold up well to soap, that’s why you shouldn’t use these items in the shower.
Just make sure you only install TSA-approved implants.
The money is a byproduct of a good thing. Amazon is a net positive for humanity. Bezos having $150B is a byproduct of the amazing thing he and many others made.

So a single person having that much can certainly be a good thing, or a neutral thing, or a bad thing. But it’s not something that I have to think about fixing.

The literature is really clear that taxing the rich won’t do what you think it will do. It’s also surprising because this sentiment somehow thinks the rich are not already taxed. Wealth is taxed during transactions, not at rest. And the rich buy stuff like all others.
It sounds like they would like a "start here" link, not having to click random articles and follow the rabbit-hole back to the beginning - that's all.

I don’t think it’s normal.

At a previous company I was on call every second week and would receive a call maybe once every few months. That was with many hundreds of servers.

At another company I’m on once a week per month and get called once or twice. That’s with just a few hundred servers.

In the first case all time was reimbursed in lieu. In the second case my salary more than makes up for any inconvenience.

However in both cases I was very proactive in defining what is on call - critical production issues only. If it’s not critical or not production then I won’t log on to look at it.

And in both cases I had a LOT of false alarms from bad alerts when starting. I had all false alarms disabled.

You’ll get push back but I didn’t care - you can’t have an alarm waking up people every night on the off chance that one in a hundred will actually be an error. And hilariously, if you started including your boss on the call, they’d quickly agree it’s not acceptable. The human cost isn’t worth it.

While there’s often tonnes of room for improvements to monitoring and alerting (root cause analysis etc) that others have mentioned - in my experience most of the metrics and alarms are garbage anyway, and can and should be done away with. If it came from a boxed product it should near all be turned off from the get go. That crap is always pointless.

Oh no a server CPU usage has increased and memory is low because - it’s doing what it’s meant to? What junk.
> To demonstrate quantum supremacy, we compare our
quantum processor against state-of-the-art classical com-
puters in the task of sampling the output of a pseudo-
random quantum circuit[24{26]. Random circuits are a
suitable choice for benchmarking since they do not pos-
sess structure and therefore allow for limited guarantees
of computational hardness[24, 25, 27, 28]. We design the
circuits to entangle a set of quantum bits (qubits) by re-
peated application of single-qubit and two-qubit logical
operations. Sampling the quantum circuit’s output pro-
duces a set of bitstrings, e.g. f0000101, 1011100, ...g.
Due to quantum interference, the probability distribution
of the bitstrings resembles a speckled intensity pattern
produced by light interference in laser scatter, such that
some bitstrings are much more likely to occur than oth-
ers. Classically computing this probability distribution
becomes exponentially more dicult as the number of
qubits (width) and number of gate cycles (depth) grows.

If I run the company that controls peoples' goddamn brain implants, I can conduct unlimited searches or perform arbitrary death sentences at the click of a button.

The uncomfortable truth today is that, while having to touch an X config file hasn't been a thing in more than 10 years, it will take you some fiddling with your favourite Wayland compositor (of which only three -- two massive DEs and a tiling compositor -- are anywhere near being useful) just to get it to stop crashing on that one application that you need, or to get things like multiple monitors or middle-click copying and pasting between two particularly misbehaved applications to work. Ironically enough, the least pretentious of them, sway, is by far the most solid.

It's basically all the fun we had with X11 back in 2003, just to get an environment that's about as dependable (though admittedly much faster) as X11 back in 1993.

It's one of those cases where the "release early, release often" mantra kindda seems to work against us. I'm sure ten years from now Wayland will be just as solid as X11 was back in 2013, aka "good enough", but there's a different kind of crowd looking at this stuff today.

Unfortunately, the anti-Wayland buzz propagates easily because the community response is inevitably unsympathetic. Mention things like "I tried Wayland for an afternoon, applications kept crashing" and you'll inevitably get a dozen answers, all of them along the lines of nah bro I'm running Gnome Wayland which is the default in Fedora 67 on my ThinkPad X1 Carbon and I'm not getting any crashes. Well, yeah, 90% of the projects that failed to get traction and adoption in the field of graphical systems did so because they couldn't make the transition from "running on its developers' and fans' computers" to "running on everyone's computer". I can run Wayland on my system just fine, too, but I'm the only one in my immediate circle of nerds who can.
This article is quite confusing in the way it explains the fraud technique. Here's my understanding (using a made-up example):

In the UK, a full postcode e.g B40 4XJ (made up) can be shared by more one than home or building. So the homes numbered 1-20 Acacia Avenue all share the same full postcode: B40 4XJ

Janet lives at 7 Acacia Avenue. She sells her iPhone via eBay for £200 to Patrick living elsewhere. She posts a parcel containing the iPhone to Patrick.

Patrick, via eBay, contacts Janet and says the iPhone is faulty and wants a refund.

Through eBay, Patrick generates a return label (shipping label) which lists Janet's address: 7 Acacia Avenue, B40 4XJ. However, Patrick, alters the address on the label to state: 19 Acacia Avenue, B40 4XJ.

He can do this, of course, because the label is generated online, and using some graphics editing program, he can alter the label before he prints it.

Patrick posts an empty box to 19 Acacia Avenue and keeps the iPhone. Patrick now has the iPhone and a refund from eBay for the £200 he paid for the iPhone.

What of the empty parcel posted to 19 Acacia Avenue? Presumably, the parcel isn't signed for when it is delivered? Or is it? If the parcel requires a signature on delivery, surely the resident of 19 Acacia Avenue will immediately notice the parcel is addressed to someone else?

Please do correct the above if it's incorrect.

> Higher sea levels mean that deadly and destructive storm surges push farther inland than they once did, which also means more frequent nuisance flooding. Disruptive and expensive, nuisance flooding is estimated to be from 300 percent to 900 percent more frequent within U.S. coastal communities than it was just 50 years ago.

The mean sea level rising isn't out-runnable, but the storm events can be.

And also:

> Sea level rise at specific locations may be more or less than the global average due to local factors such as land subsidence from natural processes and withdrawal of groundwater and fossil fuels, changes in regional ocean currents, and whether the land is still rebounding from the compressive weight of Ice Age glaciers.

Thanks for your inputs. The intention of the article is to explain NoSQL in lucid terms and hence is more inclined to the positives. As the article only revolves around NoSQL databases, it doesn't throw much light on "which database a developer should choose ?"

This is not normal. Our on-call schedules run 5-9 Monday to Friday, and 5pm Friday to 9am Monday. If I were paged twice in a week that would be a bad week, being paged at all is fairly uncommon now. Historically it would be more common, but no where near daily, that would be entirely unacceptable.

We've invested a load of time reducing the frequency of paging incidents over the years, the entire technology organisation recognises the importance of fixing said incidents and how disruptive it is to peoples lives/sleep/etc.
Surely language is how brains communicate? Terrorists were (and still are) quite capable of coordinated attacks without digital technologies.
I think if you didn't use it as a phone too that wouldn't make much sense to me. Whether you want a DLSR, range finder, travel compact... I can think of various models that would be better standalone cameras.

X100F, rx100 series, Ricoh G3 or X system Fuji come to mind.

That said, I think a phone can be a great compliment to a camera. I have a camera I use mostly on holidays but have a moment fish eye on my phone for indoor architecture shots. I'm considering the iPhones 120° wide as a replacement for my phone and moment superfish but not my camera. I really enjoy the physical controls for aperture and ev compensation.
