> The standalone photographic camera industry is going to be reduced to professionals and enthusiasts that need/want things like reliability and ruggedness, long focal lengths, creative control, and the process of taking a photograph.

I'll take that one step further (and with a family member in professional photography it's a painful conclusion): the convergence between photography and mobile communications devices will make the photographic camera industry disappear because the numbers won't be there to make the devices economical enough. It's basically a continuum between 'doesn't work at all' to 'works for almost all cases'.

System cameras will at some point be as rare as hole through CPUs.
Security bugs are unavoidable, Rust/Java or not. This calls for architectural defense in depth.

A lot of the exploits would be rendered harmless by employing well established technique of splitting one huge monolithic app into processes with limited capabilities and communicating via simple and narrow channels. Qmail[1] is a good example of such architecture. The architectural support is already present in common OSes.

>Wouldn't that make these so-called negative effects an expected outcome of the process?

Probably. However I would guess if the negative effects are chronic then there is something wrong with the practice.

>Isn't the Buddhist path supposed to lead to the end of aversion _and_ craving (or desire or attachment)?

Yes, the Buddhist path[1] is supposed to lead to the end of suffering and rebirth. Clinging and craving produces karma which leads to rebirth. Stopping karma will lead to the cessation of suffering or nirvana.

>it has been sold as a panacea for everyone, including "householders", that we can just drop into our lives and continue on our former paths with the added bonus of the end of suffering.

No, it is not possible[2] for a householder to attain enlightenment. As a householder you have responsibilities (house, family, work) which inherently leads to clinging. However as a householder you can improve your chances at a good rebirth through merit (good karma). The best a householder can attain is stream entry. Monastics offload the dirty work of human survival (food, protection, etc) to householders in return for merit (virtuous cycle). You have to don the robes to cross the stream.

This really happens to be. I have so much trouble waking up and going to sleep when they implement daylight savings here in Europe. To make matters worse, I am a night-owl, so getting to the office is quite difficult for me.

I was looking to find a way to buy used equipment

"I'm planning to participate in Olympic games against the best athletes of the planet. I plan to buy a few used sneakers of a similar size than my feet and a second hand tennis racket that is not too worned out. I plan to win against people with brand new and tailor-made equipment".

In short. Don't do it unless you know what you are buying. If you know what you are buying, don't do it if you can afford doing otherwise.

In most cases used equipment will be sold because either the lab had been crushed by better equipped competitors, or is obsolete.
This is an unconvincing argument.

Singapore is effectively on year-round daylight time. Singapore is just barely north of the equator, but it's on the same timezone as Indonesia, which puts it a full hour ahead of the timezone it "should" be on, according to its solar noon. As a result, sunrise is around 7am and sunset is around 7pm every day of the year.

Somehow, this hasn't caused the country to fall into collapse, the way these quoted sleep experts make it sound.
There’s the half step of partnership with top tier phone makers. Apple wouldn’t, but maybe a hungrier Android OEM would do a deal with Canon, give them a physical space “budget” in a flagship phone, and then market the hell out of it.

> Summary: if the sun rises later in winter then it will be dark when most people wake up

Unless you wake up after 8am (which most people do not, during the week), then you already will have to wake up before sunrise in Vancouver, B.C., even without year-round daylight time.
Disagree on this. In Rust I can read most of the information I need to know straight from the function signatures. In Go I have to go through every line of code (and there are often a lot of lines due to Go's lack of expressive power).
The article is about Canada, far from the equator, where sunrise times are substantially later in the winter months. Singapore is not a relevant case for the experts' concern.

ehh, I have a photo from the iPhone 4 printed out and hanging on the wall, still very happy with some shots I took with it :)

To be fair, many older DSLRs (Canon 600D) have horrendous performance at high ISO too, while smartphones have Night Sight type stitching of multiple exposures, but these require steady hands and non-moving subjects of course.

Solution: year-round standard time
Growing up my mother took pictures and kept photo albums, and I've enjoyed looking back through it with my family. I've done the same, going through my pictures each year to pick my favorites. [1] Having a camera always in my pocket lets me take pictures in many situations when I wouldn't have thought to bring along a special-purpose device, and having it be a good camera makes for pictures I enjoy a lot more.

and how many people did you show your interesting photos too? are they of any interest of anyone else? would they standout in one of the imageboards available everywhere?

Most certain the answer is no, which leads to the question why you felt the necessity to take this picture at all?

Given the abundance of photographic material available today, I came to the conclusion that I'd prefer quality over quantity (your old adage basically just leads to more pictures you'll never do anything with). I can get a mediocre picture of nearly everything interesting in a matter of seconds on the net, but I'll have trouble finding a picture which I can use on my 32" 4K-desktop or print as a poster. And while I might eventually (today, quality isn't there yet...) have more choice when taking pictures with a smartphone, my real wall capacity is limited and it's definitely a lot cheaper to go smartphone shopping with the camera falling right off any priorities list.
> without missing the actual conversation or meeting

One part of the solution is social: persuade the participants that it is useful for someone to send around notes after the meeting with key conclusions and action-items.

If this is socially-agreed, then in the meeting you can say something like: “Pardon, I want to make sure I got that. Can you repeat the part about auditing the data being passed into Salesforce?”
This does impose an obligation to clean up your notes afterward, so is risky if you lack confidence in your notes.

I have done this in my previous software engineering job and it was noted positively in my annual performance review.

Sunrise at 7am seems fine to me. But at my place for example it would mean sunrise as late as 9 or 10am at the shortest day of the year. This is compelling to me at least.
Every website I visit these days seems to have this newsletter modal timebomb that unexpectedly blows once I've read a few sentences or so. Like the quarter-screen cookie dialog, I've just become blind to them searching just long enough to find an "X" or "close" button. I wonder how many others are being conditioned in the same way?

At any rate, i think it's worth pointing out that you can always blog (and please support rss!). If the goal is to make money, maybe newsletters are one way to avoid grimy ads, but that said, how many newsletters are filled with ads and affiliate crap anyways?

I like the idea of getting emails for stuff I am consistently interested in. I just don't get the hype.
Nowhere do they indicate a 'permanent jet lag', it feels like their open letter has been misconstrued, I assume this is to get a catchy headline? It's a short, easy to read open letter and I was able to understand what they're saying.

They are calling on switching to Standard Time instead of Daylight Saving Time. There can be adverse long term effects of switching to DST as opposed to ST. And finally the reference to jetlag is in the context of _social jetlag_
I hope this gains some traction. I lived in Arizona for a while, which is on permanent standard time, and it was great. Now I’m on the east coast and the sun comes up at 8 am. Thankfully the clocks change tonight, but if they didn’t, which is what’s being considered here too, that would only get later and later.
Hang on... Right now the sun comes up at 8 am and goes down at 4:30 pm in the dead of winter at the 49th parallel. So it's dark when you get up and dark before you get home from work. And it will still be dark after the change. So what's the problem?
Threema GmbH | Pfäffikon SZ (near Zürich), Switzerland | https://threema.ch/en | ONSITE

- Senior Software Engineer Android (Java / Kotlin) 80-100%

Threema is a mobile messenger focused on privacy, launched in 2012. The business model is paying our expenses by selling the app (around 3€ one-time) as well as business subscriptions (called Threema Work, same app but with MDM capabilities). There are no external investors, the company is fully self-funded (and will stay that way). We manage our own bare-metal servers (no cloud). Leading principles are always user privacy, end-to-end encryption and storing as little user data as technically possible. Around 5 million active users, mostly in Germany / Switzerland. Clients include Daimler, Bosch and the Swiss government (no, there's no backdoor). For technical details, see the crypto whitepaper: https://threema.ch/press-files/2_documentation/cryptography_...

We're a small team, almost all employees are developers (the 3 founders are also devs). Flat hierarchies, a lot of freedoms in how you work. Homeoffice day possible. The usual perks (private health insurance, standing desks, pinball machine, espresso machine). Good work/life balance (nice bike trails and paragliding spots close to the office). And of course, Switzerland is generally a great place to work!

(Some keywords for the Ctrl+F people:) Programming languages we use at the company: Java (Android) / C / Objective C / Swift / Rust / Python / PHP / TypeScript. The infrastructure runs on FreeBSD and Linux servers. Both apps (iOS / Android) are fully native (no cross-platform frameworks). We also do a few things with WebRTC (webclient and calls).

With the Android position, you'd be the person responsible for the Threema Android app.

If you'd like to apply, you should have good German language skills. We could probably help with visa applications though, in case you'd need to relocate.

I think that's about it. If you'd like to know more, let me know at db@threema.ch (or via Threema 43C98BNT). I hope I'll be able to answer any questions :)
I just went from an X to an 11 pro. The X was known for poor photos in low light.

With that said, the 11 pro takes great shots with little fuss. But, my d7100 with a 50mm prime still easily beats it in image quality. I want to get to the point where I don't need to carry around my d7100 (or an DSLR), but we are not there yet. Then I have shots like this, that I don't see how I would ever have caught on a phone camera.

This is why I prefer to stick with Apple; even if their commitment to privacy is just PR, at least their stuff won't get bought out by the likes of Google or Microsoft.
Blaming the clock system is easy. True blame is on work practices. It is the year-round same-hour alarm that awakes people at awkward times, not the time itself.

The real health solve is for workplaces to set an adaptive clock-in time, so everyone wakes up with the sun.

International companies already have a country-dependent clock-in time; this is not much of a stretch.
I find it hard to believe that this could have any significant effect, given all the other negative influences on sleep we already have that seem to be way more drastic.

In any case, our whole style of life has shifted from the mornings into the evenings, so summertime makes much more sense than having no daylight savings time at all. Summertime for the whole year is definitely my personal preference. To be fair, I live in Portugal, where wintertime for the whole year would be overall bad for the way we live and for tourism, because it means that it will be dark at 8 PM instead of 9 PM. People here mostly live in the evenings and start work at 9 AM and even later.

Or, keep adjusting for one hour twice a year. I've never had any problems or complaint about shifting time either. It is nothing, not even a nuisance. IMHO, there is no need to change something that works fine.

I disagree; I'd even say this is a peculiar blind spot in US political culture. Practically, it's probably easier to have a similar life in a non-US country than to have a similar life while avoiding these big platforms. Yes theoretically the US government has the ability to use violence against you while Twitter doesn't, but that doesn't seem to make a lot of difference to the practical impact - people are more worried about the government ruining their livelihood than locking them up, and that's something that Twitter can do just as well.
no GPS is relative. Most phones have AGPS - while this works fine in a city, have fun finding, where you took that picture in a remote forest. Actual, independent GPS devices still cost a lot of money (and need power).

If an employer has to pay someone more if they live further away, then someone who lives closer is a preferable candidate for the job. So a person who was born into a family that already lives near offices or city centers has an advantage over someone who was born further away (typically lower cost of living areas).
At least on my Sony RX10 IV, the authentication was only necessary the first time (by NFS or QR code scan).

Since then, I

- Open the Sony app, press "receive"

- View the picture I want to transfer, press "transfer" (physical button), select "confirm" (or select further pictures).

The UI could perhaps be slightly nicer, but it's not really a barrier here.
> The article is about Canada, far from the equator, where sunrise times are substantially later in the winter months.

Not really that much later. On the winter solstice, sunrise in Vancouver is around 8am, which is less than an hour after Singapore (Singapore's sunrise can be as late as 7:15am).
These problems get more pronounced as you travel away from the equator. In places where sun rises at 9:00 and sets at 16:00 for months every year, these little changes are a big deal.
You're absolutely right. It's going to be dark in winter anyway. The problem is that "sleep experts" have personal opinions and preferences, too, and use their expert status to push their personal agendas.
Yes but that won't happen. It"s illegal and it will be interpreted as an act of war.
Individuals in Finland, the Baltic states, Poland...can do something though.
Imagine living somewhere far north like Ellesmere Island or Tromsø Norway where the sunlight hours in some parts of the year are practically non existent.
> This is significant, if 50% of folks move from replacing their phones every 2 years to 3, that's a 16% drop in sales.

Which is why Apple has pushed in to services and other halo devices (Apple Watch, AirPods) around the phone. People incorrectly think that a drop in iPhone sales means fewer people using iPhones. While that may happen at some point, I think the iOS user base is steady/still growing. It will take time, but Apple is already working to make themselves less dependent on the 2 year upgrade cycle.
In Europe, Budapest, Berlin, Paris and Madrid have been in the same time zone for over 80 years. The day in Paris is currently shifted by almost an hour compared to Berlin. If the time shift has serious implications, then it ought to be possible to demonstrate them by comparing Paris and Berlin.

Of course, it is perfectly fine to prefer one time or another. But I do not find the claims of health and safety impacts very convincing, given that many places are already shifted today.
It's going to be dark when you wake up anyway, at least in areas like Canada or Northern Europe where people get up early.

This article is not about those places. It's about British Columbia, where sunrise on the winter solstice is less than an hour later than Singapore's typical sunrise.
Also, many Europeans are far less market driven then most people in the US seem to be. A lot of people work in public sectors, where innovations happens but its simply not put to market, because the entire sector is not part of a traditional market based economy. Labour relations are also a lot different then in the US.
eval() has no economic purpose. It hasn't been removed by browsers purely because that would break backward compatibility.

Non-same origin Javascript does not have economic purpose either. I believe, that it will be completely eradicated from browsers within this century (if not in couple of decades).
"Exposure to morning sunlight"? When? While commuting to a closed workplace with artificial lighting, like the majority of the population does now?

I'd rather have exposure to sunlight after work, when I can actually, you know, be outside and receive it, rather than be in closed spaces during practically all the sunlit hours.

As for the kids, there is strong evidence than being actually outside receiving sunlight is good for, e.g. preventing myopia. So it's also better for them to have sunlight after school so they can play in the park under the sun, than have it while they're at a closed space. Apart from the fact that they prefer it that way.

PS: I'm not from Canada, but there is a similar debate in my country, and I strongly prefer permanent DST. Actually, according to polls, a considerable majority of the population does, but they still want to set permanent non-DST time. Fortunately I have a flexible work schedule so I guess I'll just wake up at 6 instead of 7 but still, the change will have an impact on my family.
No. You need a clean IP. Preferrably one that hasn't been used for emails before.
> However I would guess if the negative effects are chronic then there is something wrong with the practice.

Maybe 'the practice' (as practiced by people in the Vice article) is incomplete, in the sense of lacking a better understanding of things to expect, companion meditators, ethical guidelines (Sila), and a more experienced teacher to help one understand what one is going through mentally.

> No, it is not possible for a householder to attain enlightenment.

I think this is incorrect. The Pali Canon mentions at least a few lay Arahants and many lay once-returners and non-returners (so beyond the stage of stream-entry). [1]

I should mention that I'm not Buddhist and don't really believe in rebirth, karma, enlightenment literally. However I do believe at least karma and enlightenment can be stripped down to psychological processes and states, and I don't see a reason why a dedicated and talented householder can't achieve the psychological equivalent of enlightenment.
