Glad you were able to see the ISS! Thanks for the bug report. I just found out that the reason for this is that Safari does not support the standard Web Push API. https://www.caniuse.com/#feat=push-api

Question about the buffered writes and invalidation: is there anything that prevents race conditions between a Del() and a prior Set() on the same key? Just glancing at the source, it looks Set() ends up in a channel send, whereas Del() seems to synchronously update the internal map.
I read through that whole thread, and the concensus seems to be that this is still an issue. It appears that all of the phones now have the CDMA technology in them, however it is still only active on the Verizon and Sprint versions, because Apple must pay a patent royalty for each activated CDMA phone, and it does not want to pay that royalty for customers using GSM carriers.
It’s really a bizarre read. It’s clearly an oversight by Apple (which I assume they will clarify as this type of situation repeats many times). Lots of people there seem to defend this ridiculous Verizon policy as well.
Without knowing how many groups applied, there is no way that you can tell if 427 is an unreasonable number. There are about 1.5 million non-profits in the US. If we assume an average lifetime of a non-profit is 25 years, then we expect about 60000 new non-profits per year. How many of those were conservative groups that did not get targeted?
Which is non trivial.

We require ID in almost every kind of daily transaction imaginable, from healthcare to banking, employment, travel, alcohol, cigarettes, all other government services, and so on. But go apoplectic when we try to use it for one transaction every two years and act as if over half the population lacks the ability to participate in daily basic society.

Black people are intelligent enough to get ID's, as are women and any other minority in this country. The constant denigration as if they lack the faculties or intelligence to get an ID is pretty insulting.

Let's get real.
Turns out Safari doesn't support the standard way of doing push notifications. https://www.caniuse.com/#feat=push-api

Until they do, I'll hide the notifications button in Safari.
Yeah, this was actually the first time I tried a hot tub (it's been in many pools, lakes, and rivers). I might have spoke a little too soon though, because looking at it today there is some minor screen discoloration in the lower left corner and the (physical) back button seems to have stopped responding.

I'm due for a new phone anyway, which is why I chanced it, but this thing is tank-like. All the ports have aluminum-backed rubber flaps that seal when not in use and the speaker and mic close with little "5 meter" switches.

I've had it since 2016 and put it through some serious drops and stresses and it's held up really well. The one complaint was that the "carbon fiber" finish on the back started peeling off after about 6 months.
The whole point of stock buybacks is that they are the same as paying a dividend but the tax impact is much better.

I’d prefer that all stocks did a buyback instead of paying a dividend.
It is usually the case that broad solutions are harder and more time consuming than individual solutions.

This is somewhat on purpose. Companies rely on the fact that when they mess up, the easiest solutions for consumers are ones that won't hold the company accountable or impact their ability to pull the same stunts in the future.

If OP had just exchanged their phone, this thread wouldn't be on HN. But, assuming their claim is true, maybe the increased attention will force Apple or Verizon to clarify their advertising.
> In most game I expect resource management to be fairly straightforward, allocation and freeing of resources will mostly be tied to game events which already require explicit code.

Even if you are perfect, you will still fragment over time. At some point, you must move a dynamically allocated resource and incur all the complexity that goes with that--effectively ad hoc garbage collection.

There are only two ways around this:

1) You have the ability to do something like a "Loading" screen where you can simply blow away all the previous resources and re-create new ones.

2) Statically allocate all memory up front and never change it.

In this situation I think of entropy as “lowest energy state”.

The oil and water have different densities, and are under the same force of gravity.

Any higher-density substance above a lower-density substance will have potential energy, that eventually must dissipate into thermal energy as the higher-density molecules descend and perturb other molecules.

Another excellent site for live-tracking of satellites is https://www.n2yo.com which seems to have a pretty exhaustive database of satellites of all kinds. I've used it to track the ISS' position when they were transmitting SSTV images[0] and I was able to pick up those images with my handheld VHF radio[1]!

The site gives 10-day estimates of the satellites' passes (for example the ISS at [2]), but I found its estimation of visibility to be a bit inaccurate for radio reception. Maybe that was more due to my radio antenna positioning though - not sure! Still, it's super useful to give you an idea of possible schedule for upcoming passes, in case you want to plan for it!

You said "It's common knowledge in the software industry that the best way to advance is to hop jobs every two or so years".

That works out when you start for startups, but if you want to make more than 250k, you're going to need to get promotions. The companies that pay more than that like google aren't going to hire someone into a L5 or above role that has jobbed hopped every two years without getting any promotions to an L5 or above level role at similar companies who also won't hire you at that level. There are routinely stories about people with 15+ years of experience getting hired as L4s because of this.

There are obviously exceptions especially if you write a really popular open source library but this generally holds.
> Yes it can be profitable. But never moral

Without comparing it to the morality of the alternatives, it's not really fair to say that.

The only other large power sources in existence today that are reliable and sufficient to meet demands are fossil fuels. Burning them has been demonstrated time and time again to shorten the lives of the millions who have to live near the pollution. Not to mention climate change, which is happening as a result of CO2 emissions.

Solar and wind are cheaper, but not reliable. You need to either have massive energy storage- whose cost to build would greatly exceed nuclear plants- or else additional fossil fuel plants to handle the fluctuations.

> if the operators have to pay insurance premiums against the possibility of catastrophic failure?

Nuclear in Ontario uses CANDU[0] reactors- a design which has never had any disasters. Insurance against catastrophic failure wouldn't be expensive given all of the long-proven safety features built in, and strong engineering regulations around operations.

> What is the cost of permanently, and safely, storing a tonne of very poisonous material for hundreds of thousands of years?

Cheaper than the costs to society for the thousands/millions of premature deaths each year from pollution and hundreds of millions who are going to be displaced from climate change. And worth pointing out as well that the CANDU design is versatile enough to be able to use the waste of some other reactor types or dismantled nuclear weapons as fuel.

It's all about context, is my point. And in the context of the world today, nuclear is (imho) the best choice as the baseline power generation system.

Table 6.

The numbers you pointed out:

White LDC 3rd Decile: 16.67%
White non-ALDC 10th Decile: 15.27%

The "much smaller gap" that I chose to focus on:

African American non-ALDC 4th Decile: 12.76%
Asian American non-ALDC 10th Decile: 12.69%

3rd vs. 10th decile in one case is worth an academic paper with 3 authors collaborating from 3 different universities. Plus their associations with NBER and IZA.

4th vs 10th decile in the other case is something I was socially conditioned to see and is not worth focusing on at all.

I think that if the study's authors had completely messed up a spreadsheet and replaced the numbers for the White LDC/White non-ALDC columns with the numbers from the African American non-ALDC/Asian American non-ALDC columns, you would suddenly find those numbers to be troubling.

Correcting my earlier statement which wasn’t generally true. When Apple was trying to pressure Qualcomm by using crappy Intel modems, those models did not support CDMA. The current “11” generation at least seems to be universal according to Apple but they don’t mention extra CDMA conditional licensing.

The user stated they did not activate with a Verizon Sim before trying the t-mobile sim. Another user confirmed they had a similar issue only on their iUP that they ordered online, their in store version was unlocked even after activating with Verizon.

Apple's order page also clearly says all the version are unlocked except ATT Next. Apple apparently failed to update their site regarding the Verizon issue. That is Apple's fault, not the person.
Sir, where have you been? I've been looking for exactly this, a self-hosted pinboard clone. A look and feel like miniflux [1] - there's something timeless about it.

Most of the people making those discoveries were people of means, though (or at least adjacent to, but not competing with, them).
I am not familiar with the Go code, but in the Java version (Caffeine) this is handled by a per-entry state machine. The entry is written to the Map first and the policy work buffered for replaying. If the replay occurs out-of-order (e.g. context switch before appending causing removal=>add), then the entry's state guards against policy corruption. This may not be necessary in their case due to using a sampling policy and other differences.

> How does it work for a 10 people team for instance ?

Large organization graphs are shaped like pyramids, but the thing about a pyramid is that the combination of the top and the middle is as big as the bottom. The organizations large enough for unions to come into play have multiple layers of middle management.

But let's suppose the company is less than 50% managers. That still doesn't mean the typical person won't ever be a manager, it only means they're an employee for more time than they are a manager.

Also remember that small businesses employ the most people and don't have that sort of tree structure. In that case you typically have the owner and the apprentice who is expected to buy out the owner when they retire and ten person teams are not a thing. And you will often have some workers in larger organizations who don't move into management in the same company they started in but who do leave to strike out on their own, i.e. become a founder/manager of a new small business once they have sufficient industry experience.

The definition of entropy from a statistical mechanics perspective, is roughly a count of the number of different (microscopic) configurations, \Omega, of a system. When all the configurations are equally probable, you get the formula

S ~ log(\Omega)

I don't think you see this definition in a physics education until you do a course on statistical mechanics? I feel like I certainly had teachers say "disorder". I think the connection being that if there are more configurations it's more "disordered" which isn't really a precise thing.

Looking back, I think rambling about ideal gases/pressure/volumes is a boring way to teach this subject (at least at late high school/first year uni). You should probably introduce it by talking about configurations and information. You can think of some very clear examples (configurations of a list of objects for example, it doesn't necessarily have to be "physical"). Then maybe you would go on to show that this is connected to macroscopic physical properties.
That's just one study's result. Sample size 1500.
It's the same, or maybe even worse in Germany.

On a previous job I was working on a component for the project that was a well known Audi model. In 18 months, Audi replaced the manager for that project 3 times.

Managerial careers in German corps are a revolving door where incompetents go in, do nothing, slap the prestigious company name in their resume, then, when the shit hits the fan, jump ship to next prestigious company. Rinse and repeat.
This is not correct. Verizon locks the phones themselves:

https://www.verizon.com/about/consumer-safety/device-unlocki...

> Devices that you purchase from Verizon are locked for 60 days after purchase. Devices that you purchase from our retail partners are locked for 60 days after activation. After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock. Following the 60 day lock period, we do not lock our phones at any time.

Good point, that's a tough one. Sometimes there will obviously be a devastating shortage, or none available at all.

Maybe the only benevolence some cultures will be able to muster is an incomplete removal of opportunity.

I would estimate real benevolence should be obvious to the widest of consensus, and easily distinguishable almost universally from situations where there is some doubt.

Not saying it's easy or possible to ensure anything, especially an anti-greed approach during a greed-power consolidation trend lasting longer than a lifetime.
To be clear, though, his plan does give you a number that represents your creditworthiness, whether you want to call it a “score” or not. From the article: “a public, transparent algorithm to determine creditworthiness that eliminates racial biases in credit scores.”

It's a lot easier to switch employers than switch countries. Most people in fact do switch employers multiple times throughout their lives, whereas most people don't ever move to a different country from where they were born.

Capitalism also re-creates subjects that believe they are isolated from others, deserve what they get, and encourages greed. Human nature is not a one way street.

>Take any number x, and do not multiply it by any number. Then you get the number x back. Now take x, and multiply it by one. The result is the same (x). Therefore one is nothing. No one would agree with the conclusion of that argument!

One is nothing under multiplication. You just got that “no one” here. JK, this entire argument has a false premise in it.

Take a number x and multiply it by zero. Then you get zero. Divide it back by zero... Therefore zero is anything including nothing, and anything is zero by the rule of identity commutativity. Now wrap your wounds and go on without math analogies.

Amtrak and the American Rail experience is dying because the current CEO of Amtrak is a former airline executive, and he's been filling the leadership ranks of Amtrak with other former airline executives.

There's certainly a broader discussion of rail finances in the US to be had compared to elsewhere in Asia and in Europe, given the vast size of the US and alternate means of transport. But the bottom line is that riding in trains in the US will likely start to have many of the same unpleasant experiences people have with airline travel, and that's a bad development.
