The Versa 2 has bluetooth and talks to a phone. You can see texts and even send them back (though typing is a pain). There's also Alexa in the watch if you care to enable it.

That said Google has Android Wear and a whole line of watches already so I also don't see the benefit except to squash some competition.
Pebble hardware could never run Android Wear. It has 256 kilobytes of RAM! Android Wear requires two thousand times more RAM than that.

That's the really impressive achievement of Pebble. They built a smartwatch software platform that was orders of magnitude more efficient than Apple or Google, but still a joy to use. That efficiency gave them the flexibility to make hardware design choices (e.g. 7 day battery or 7.5mm thickness or $99 price) that Google or Apple could never make.
Because the US can. The US capital markets are still the best in the world. Investors put their money into the US market because the returns are better than in most places and the US legal system protects investors.

The US withholds 30% of all dividend payments to foreign investors (although tax treaties can effectively reduce this amount).

They can do this because there's enough foreign demand for US stocks. When the day comes that the US is no longer the most attractive place for stock market investors, then perhaps the US will look at changing the withholding tax to bring in more capital.

That's why you have firewalls. You're already often exposed to all the other users in your coffee shop anyways.

There is one difference, which is that it creates systemic risk.

If there are a hundred HMOs and there is a treatment which cures a disease which ten of them choose not to cover, it still exists and you can pay for it out of pocket or do whatever it takes to switch to a different insurance company etc.

If everyone is on the same federal plan and the government chooses not to cover something, the provider isn't going to get enough business to continue operating and then they're gone and that treatment option is eliminated for everyone.
Google's corporate mission is "to organize the world's information" - that includes your biometrics - "and make it universally accessible and useful" (for adtech industry).
Noise cancelling earphones really do cancel the noise before you hear it - when they're fast enough.

When they work you feel like you're at a quiet room, weirdly hearing only the high-frequency sounds.

But yes, you can listen to music at a much lower volume, Safely.
It's probably easier to improve upon a metric if you can measure it. You don't have to suddenly feel healthier, but if you know that your usual daily step count is 7-8k, you know now that walking 10k steps is a slightly more physical activity than usual and that's a good thing.

It works for some people, my wife and daughters like their fitbits, just the encouragement to do something helps. I gradually got rid of all tracking and enjoy my bike rides more.
I have serious reservations about these. They make big claims yet miss some important, basic design choices. For instance: you will get zero bass with an open back design and the active noise cancellation operates at 200 Hz (presumably) so you can forget about cancelling annoying whines from server fans or turbojets. The dynamic EQ based on a microphone is an interesting choice. This could have really good results if they didn't fuck up on more basics. I just hope they don't neglect phase response and do some time alignment.
That's the whole point, isn't it? And then sell it to healthcare providers, so you can receive timely advice! :-D

No one said acting ethically is easy.

You can try to change things from within or report the issue to a legal authority if the situation is also a legal problem, or leave and take action from outside if appropriate. You have choices, they may not be comfortable choices, but they are there.
In some ways the entire concept of "Linux distribution" developed to address this. Certainly if you stay within a distro ecosystem it will have tools to do this for you in both Debian and Redhat.

I'm getting no sound throughout the whole video, and youtube lists it as having music from a particular Debussy recording, which is then also unavailable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhogGOTnT9I)

Muting the sound is the usual response to streams and videos that plays audio that someone claims to own the rights to. Is this another casualty to how easy youtube makes it for copyright trolls (or people indistinguishable to copyright trolls)?
The people most likely to be actually harmed by this are developers, right (i.e. pasting in to a terminal)? And shouldn’t we of all people understand that there isn’t much practical difference between opening a shady website, and running a shady executable binary? And if pasting straight into your terminal then there literally is no difference whatsoever.

Aside from shady websites, the other main attack vector would be, e.g., a XSS vulnerability on Stack Overflow. And browser vendors do seem to take XSS very seriously, and there are a number of ways to mitigate those.

Scummy news site injecting social links in to copied text? That to me sounds like a people problem, not a software problem.

Have a Huawei P20 pro with the 65t Elite Active. I have to reset the Bluetooth, forcing a reconnect everytime I connect them but after that they work seamlessly. They have quite a bit of delay on my device though. Music, calls and pods are amazing. Videos not so much.

I wonder if a complete reset would fix it, got them last Christmas and the pairing process was horribly buggy back then and don't feel like risking it again....
All our cars are parked in valet lots downtown, so there's no need to go to the dealership + we'll give you $20 in Uber credit to get to and from the lot.
Not OP, but let me try:

Have you ever needed to be on a phone call after you took the call on the phone, but would like to switch headset, but because Bluetooth still sucks it doesn't even show the headset in the list, so you have to power down the headset, restart in pairing mode...

Yeah, I've done that plenty of times using a Bluetooth headset. You will never do that using an iPhone and AirPods. You'll just push the button, and it will switch without drama. And it will work that way tomorrow, too. That's why I've paid eye-watering sums for headsets with W1/H1 chips in them.
I got it primarily to track my heart rate while sleeping. It has absolutely helped retain activities that were helping or hurting my heart rate.

For working out, absolutely, if you’re trying to target a specific cardio exercise you want to your heart rate to be in a range and I have used it for that too, though usually a chest sensor which is much more accurate.
A couple times I've started to have my heart rate go out of control while not working out, and it's been a sign of not eating enough recently in my case. While not medical-device-level accurate, having a heart rate monitor on hand has been pretty helpful for monitoring that issue and my recovery from it.

I also like sleep tracking, because I don't get enough sleep, and my Fitbit helps keep track of my failure.

That being said, I bought my Fitbit as a smartwatch, not a health tracker. It was the only smartwatch that supported Windows Mobile.

Isn't this a textbook definition of predatory pricing and illegal in the US?

WeWork’s strategy wasn’t simply to fulfil a practical need: its aim was market domination, to be achieved by undercutting its competitors in a race to the bottom, using investor capital as oxygen to sustain losses while other serviced office-space providers ran out of breath and expired. The idea was then to leverage its reach to name its terms and prices.

"Malls often have common areas where you can sit and just hang out."

I've always found it super depressing that in so many towns and cities virtually the only places where people can just hang out are commercial in nature.

It would be so much nicer if the towns and cities invested more in to providing such places themselves (beyond merely having a park here and there), where you didn't have to be a walking dollar sign to someone in order to participate.
> Are people feeling like they are more fit because they walked to lunch "the long way" so they can reach the 10000 step goal that Fred from accounting has set for them?

I think it would be hard to argue that it DOESN'T make you more fit? If you normally have say 500 steps in a day, and the FitBit convinces you (through gamification, visibility into the metrics, or whatever it may be) to now take 2,000 steps in a day, then it's not a "feeling like they are more fit", it will indeed make them more fit (assuming nothing else were to change). The health benefit in 2,000 steps vs 500 steps is probably pretty cut and dry.
Sure! The keyword to look for is "DHCP-PD" (DHCP prefix delegation).

I run a little OpenBSD router and my dhcpcd.conf is here [1], but I've done this before on a Linux router box too -- here are some instructions from Arch's wiki [2]. IIRC, the stock firmware on my old consumer router was also able to request a prefix and advertise it on the network.

Yeah, they were good about giving me free replacements whenever I had an issue, if not I definitely wouldn't have purchased a new device. I just swapped in the new replacement screen this morning, hopefully it works for a good long while
I would think that Google's first choice was Garmin. In my personal opinion, they have better watch products.

It was reported last month that Fitbit engaged Qatalyst for a sale. I wonder who leaked the news to Reuters, which did not mention a price: was it Qatalyst, hoping to start a bidding war?
I check my resting heart rate on a weekly basis to monitor if my Leukemia has relapsed. It's less invasive than regular blood draws.
It's not going to change your life. Not everybody is going to derive value from it, and that's okay. It's not targeted at everybody. I generally find it quite useful. When running, I can aim at a certain heart rate which keeps me consistent between workouts and gives me a way to quantify if I'm feeling a bit exhausted compared to similar workouts, giving me another data point for planning the rest of my training week. It's also a useful measure of fitness and you can easily track improving fitness with it across workouts across time. It gives me a better sense of where my heart rate is and when, which has given me a bit more confidence in what I can do. It also tracks my sleep, which can also be useful.

There are just a lot of useful, small benefits that easily justify using one. I can easily go without though, so it's not a must-have. If you don't need that kind of detail in your life, just skip the whole thing. I'll sometimes go months without wearing it.

I don't think there's a "killer app" or a "convincing" argument. Rather, either it aligns with your goals and needs or it doesn't.
They are. I definitely don't think it's an ideal form. The content itself is high-quality, but I'd much prefer a well-written document.

I point it out because if you want to learn SwiftUI your best approach is probably to start with the presentations, whether you like that form or not. Many will naturally avoid that kind of content and I'm trying to communicate that in this case you really should use the presentations.
Years back I worked on an automated test framework for small/mid-business scale cisco-clone routers that used Expect to drive the telnet CLI interface and put the routers through their paces.

I remember something a more senior engineer at the company told me: Expect is the best tool for when you need to get a job done the wrong way. (Using Expect was his idea, to be clear.)

Disruption, yes. Form-factor: not so sure.

The first mobile phones ... worked. Barely.

Innovations have come in service coverage, quality, pricing (flat-rate, unlimited calls, is now the norm), early app phones (Palm PDAs making the transition), integration with corporate email (RIM), Web access (from early on, but Apple made the breakthrough), and what really underpins the present mobile devices world: advertising.

It's the fact that Google can haul in about $100 billion a year in ads sales that makes Android viable. Apple is profitable on hardware, but even there, struggles to match in technology (though it's vastly ahead in UI/UX), and has a small fraction of the market of a niche it had created.

Microsoft lacks the ads tie-in, and faces obstacles to positioning itself as sole gatekeeper to its remaining desktop / enterprise software empire (practical, political, legal). Amazon's strength might be in leveraging devices as extensions of its storefront, but that's precisely the aspect of its devices that I found so off-putting. They've all the warmth and personal appeal of a third-tier shopping mall. Though if the company can get that right, and avoid Microsoft's 1990s antitrust experience, they're a considerable competitor.

Facebook's failure may be due to growing distrust of the company and of its second-tier status (after Google) in ads. There's not enough draw to the device, and not enough revenue to support development.

What opportunities this leaves for new entrants is an open question. It also raises the issue of Purism, or any other pure-play device firm's, future. Almost certainly aquisition by some party which is tied to a revenue or related-services or -systems model.

Given the incumbents, my bet would be first Amazon, secondary, if it is truely embracing Linux, Microsoft. Though there might be others. I discount Google or Apple. Facebook is a possibility, though given Purism's focus on freedom and privacy, would be fatal.

Outside the US: most device manufacturers are too strongly wedded to one of the incumbents to make a plausible play as this would imperil their Android or iPhone contracts, which would rule out Samsung, Sony, LG, etc. A non-US telco aquisition, possibly in Europe guided by privacy regimes, could be an option.

On reflection: focus on form factor is almost certainly a red herring. Look to the sustaining business model and positive/negative appeal factors.
The entity may and should collectively bargain 90% discount, as long as the parents of those who need the unavailable medicine right now can withdraw from contributing their taxes to NHS and use the freed funds for direct purchases of the otherwise unavailable drug.

An OS window that flashes to show you what you just put in the clipboard would make life easier. Or a keyboard shortcut to show that content. Besides, it seems like the clipboard could use a redesign, the OS default has always been a stack of 1, unless you install a 3rd party tool to manage it.
Let's handle this like we handle things like location tracking, notifications, etc: ask the user.

Except I don't think we should ask the user, because everyone will blindly click yes. I think we should disable this by default, and let Google Docs, etc., remind the user via some in-app modal with step-by-step instructions.

If someone actually needs this functionality, let them do the work to unlock it for a given website.

99.99999% of the web has no good reason to be modifying a user's clipboard.

Malware is frequently delivered by advertising, so there's good reason to keep your ad blocker on even on sites that you want to support.

Tracking is yet another thing you can avoid to some degree by using an ad blocker (and, better yet, by disabling javascript).

Finally, the best reason to use an ad blocker is to opt-out of the advertising ecosystem to make it less viable. We have to find a more ethical way to fund media than supporting this manipulative, privacy-invading industry.
Yeah, the "I have this memorized" no-questions-asked immediate implementation answer is ... fine ... but also always makes me wish I'd picked a different question.

It tells me they meet the baseline - they can learn well enough to at least be able to do this particular problem super quickly.

But it doesn't tell me any more than that, unlike the candidate who thinks for a pick, considers a few different approaches, writes something up, stops a few times to think about edge cases, satisfies themselves that they're covered, etc.

"Can you figure stuff out on the fly" is the test, not "do you have this memorized?" Fortunately, most people don't have everything memorized, so for now it's still a useful-enough filter.

The problem with alternative, past-experience-based types of questions is that most candidates are terrible at driving them. I would love someone to tell me an hour-long story of debugging something in a library, say - but usually, even with a lot of prompting, it's very hard to get much interesting stuff out of them.

So by putting some algorithmic questions on the panel too, at least they have a chance to show that they can code, even if they can't communicate much meaningful from their past experience.
Yeah I have come to a similar conclusion - the labor marker for software developers in the bay area in a sense becomes highly liquid because of similar job requirements, experiences and interviews. Heck I was told by a FB interview to basically go through leetcode “hard” problems to prepare for the interview.
I don't think anyone said they have a "sole responsibility". I was just trying to keep the discussion focused on people and not abstract entities like "management" or "the business".

I don't really understand your architectural example though. The presence or absence of regulations doesn't change the fact that an architect should follow an ethical course of action and design a safe building. Regulations or standards may help to be more successful at that goal but they don't add or remove the responsibility.
No, but the article attributes the higher number of deaths in part to the design of sunny cities being primarily for automobiles. And while many (including other chains on thos thread) seem to suggest building more infrastructure for civilians, the comment above me makes a point about the practicality of that solution (albeit with a bit of a tanget included)

Also my point about the customs (which I've removed as it was more related to the aforementioned tangent) was more about cultural response to sweat and BO than the clothing part.
Where can you sell Tether short in a market that's not controlled by these same unscrupulous manipulators?

Shorting makes sense in regulated public markets with plenty of liquidity. Cryptocurrencies aren't like that.

Your first point rings so true it hurts.

I've talked with many of my now manager peers and they seem to not understand that simply walking into a room with "manager" or "director" in your title gives you almost immediate clout (or something similar). Whereas if you enter a room as a "senior IC" there's just not as much authority inherent in your presence.

It's unfortunate, it's not right, but it seems to be true.

A thousand times this ^ And ideally for everything: phone, computer, headphones, clothes, etc.

Personally, I own one pair of pants that I know will last about 2 years before I need to replace them, then just buy exactly the same pair again. Same with t-shirts, except I own about 10 of the same and replace 2 or 3 once a year (each one will last 2-3 years).
But does it assimilate as well?

To short it you must trust the underlying platform, and I think writers like this dont use anything crypto.
For me the answer is quite clear: they simply work. Apple like. Did I test all the others you mentioned? No. Probably because I used to have several Bluetooth headset. They hardly ever worked. For me, I had to have high trust in the HW company to ever test a Bluetooth headset again.
