> Isn't it better to ship something flawed and continue improving while already in the hands of people than to ship nothing at all and appear more and more like vaporware?

If you position it purely as a hobbyist project and do not guarantee it for day to day use, I think that’s fine. This is fine for a dev kit.

I think taking preorders and trying to sell it as a privacy-focused phone that can be a real alternative to the main steel options when you don’t have basic things, like making audio calls, figured out, is problematic.

I get the company needs money from preorders to fund development and production, but at the same time, as a consumer, their lack of funding for development/business plan isn’t my problem.

I’m generally fine when things like this are kickstarted and the risk is clear. I’m less comfortable when after the crowdfunding, the company does direct to consumer sales/pre-orders, when the stuff just isn’t done and that isn’t well articulated to anyone clicking that pre-order button.
If he was I expect he understand the issue and as President would work with Congress to reform the practice.
It appears to just be a blog, is there a software link to go with it?
I think some people assumed you were being imprecise in wording your question, because when there's a comment talking about what OSes don't do but should do, "What OS is able to do this?" makes more sense than "What OS already does this by default?".

So "Why is this supposed to be interesting?" is a bit rude for someone that was trying to answer a reasonable interpretation of your question.
Thanks for those links, I will check out a number of those. Weird I've never heard about him before, impressive number of books.
"Small Unit Leadership" is also excellent and also from the US Army.

Good ones are also:
"Duty" (Robert Gates)
"Call Sign Chaos" (Mattis)
"Extreme Ownership"

The one about Mattis has a very long list of book recommendations at the end.
Climate change at the human accelerated rate IS habitat destruction.
My assumption is that Amazon will look to integrate home services (home cleaning, home cooking, etc.) once enough people have installed those surveillance devices.

My idea of their pitch will be: "our home cleaners can access your home while you're away and they will be monitored 100% of the time while in your house, you already have security cameras, etc. installed so there's no need to worry."
World gdp is 80 trillion. So the 70 trillion estimate you throw out for oil is clearly hyperbole... in case anyone is taking that literally.
The down votes are because it can place and receive phone calls, there is just a bug that doesn't allow audio on the call. EDIT: according to someone below, that bug is fixed too.

In addition, the backers getting the phone now were explicitly told that the software isn't polished yet, and that they are getting beta hardware. The backers were offered also to be allowed to wait for a later batch if they wanted to.

It definitely is not ready to be a daily driver, don't get me wrong. But folks who wanted it early knew that.
There are many projects where the build vs buy decision itself is politicized. Political rifts between business and IT is a story that is just as old as business software itself.

Super common scenario:

* The business thinks IT is too slow to implement, and doesn't understand business needs

* IT thinks the business changes priority too much and doesn't even understand their own business processes, and it's leading to technical debt because the demands of the business are half-baked

* So, the business brings in a consultant who says they will do everything they want, without any push-back, in half the time
Even if programmae is plausible, it would have to be "omnes" rather than "omnia" to agree with the feminine plural. (In retrospect I agree that it's going to "purgamenta" either way because that's a noun, not an adjective.)
100% agree with that and part of the issue is that they didn't. They had the option to begin aggressively de-prioritizing pages that have performance issues and are otherwise detrimental to user experience.. that would have resulted in some pretty swift changes to bad UX. Instead they created AMP and told publishers "you want to be on mobile search results, use this".

Very interesting. I'm part of a project to unify EHR systems for a number of giant hospitals in my area...all under Epic! The way they're selling it is "One patient, one bill, one record." There's all these Epic people running around, and they're all quite young and presentable, and they probably make some _killer_ slide decks. The funny thing is, our institution (a state body) actually hired some Deloitte people for their expertise. They told us to stick with Cerner, from which we're migrating. Nope, not gonna happen, we're too invested in Epic!
I've seen this trend get worse on HN were top voted comment is just a response to the title and not the actual heart of the article.
McKinsey comes up because they are an elitist consulting firm and HN is somewhat of an elitist forum. I am using elitist in a good way, although there’s certainly elitist attitudes on here.

As someone who might join a Big 4 in IT consulting soon it’s nice to see what McKinsey is up to. It’s much nicer to see accountability for one’s actions.
Bluntly، if I was the author, I'd scream "hell, no!".

Transcribing the scripts is straight forward, if you cannot do that, chances are high I'd like to be payed to debug your problem.

ImageMagick is a beast. Mighty but definitely not user friendly.

By tech fantasy are we talking about the kiosks which are already providing a value-add to customers?

Similarly, sometimes when I see a restaurant use Yelp for check-in, reservations, and queue management, I imagine that's a sizable fraction of a job.
They're generally referred to Bourgeoisie (for Class A) and Proletariat (for Class B). I can understand the hesitation in using those terms directly, as they're quite politically charged.
Our non-parliamentary, first-past-the-post system causes that. We’ve always been a two-party system. The parties that are those two parties have swapped (no more Federalists or Whigs) and realigned (Andrew Jackson would be a bit surprised by the current Democratic House Caucus, and Abraham Lincoln would probably be a bit surprised, as well), but outside of the independents who sometimes win seats in New England (but are pretty aligned with the Democrats), it’s effectively a two-party system.

Conclusion I’ve come to while comparing systems with my German colleagues: in Germany, the coalition negotiations happen after the election; in the US, they happen before the general election, via the primaries.

I’m curious to see if Louisiana and California “jungle primaries” might begin to break this up a bit after a few more cycles.
2FA is effective when done properly - but the TSA has a horrendous failure rate on their audits. You're confusing legitimate security (locks on your door, 2FA, firewalls) with theater (Most airport security, bag checks).

Nobody cares when your neighbor captures you leaving your house, or the local coffee house records you buying breakfast. When someone can see all the cameras though then they can do things like map out your day or make a list of your contacts - things which are not public and are privacy invasive.

And yes, AWS is capturing facial data and storing it - and providing the tools for others to do it cheaply. I got to play with their toolkit yesterday and it was trivially easy.

It is not about convenience - it is about your right to do things the government doesn't like freely. The government doesn't care for activists, whistleblowers or protestors - and it has and will abuse it's power to attack them.

You should have a problem with this. You should have a problem with for profit companies building profiles on your children. You should be upset when your human rights are curtailed under the lie of security. Humans were not meant to be farm animals for corporate consumption.
...y'know what I find particularly nuts about this whole thing? That we only know about it because of that location icon in the status bar. Apple could have chosen to hide that icon for certain types of requests, and this story wouldn't exist.

I really hope that after this update is released, someone with checkm8 goes and checks what has actually changed. Not because I distrust Apple per se, but because we shouldn't be making discoveries based on a cosmetic icon.

Also, thank god for checkm8.

Edit: donkeyd, below, reminded me that this behavior is only on the iPhone 11, which isn't vulnerable to checkm8. Sigh...
I don't think it's condescending - I clicked the link thinking it was something other than some run of the mill socket.io demo... and then that's exactly what it was. Oh well! :)
amp-ads moves those ads/trackers in iframes, but that doesn't reduce the code size, right? google is also injecting code in your site , so you can't be sure that it's secure / private, right?

And if i promise to make all ads async and iframe, will google promise to rank my site higher? If not , they are discriminating in favor of their own walled garden system without an objective ruse.
I too am skeptical- except in extreme cases. Maybe if it's some sort of mindless bullshit site that I'm not really interested in I would leave it if it didn't load in, say, 5 seconds. But I don't really give a shit about the bullshit web. Life would be better without that anyway (except, of course, for companies who make a living selling ads on such sites).

But if somebody's leaving a page that has content they need because it doesn't load in 1 second, then I'd say they're a dumbass.
Or it may speak the truth in SOAP.

But if she and her boyfriend work full time even for $9.50/hr, they still earn 9.50 x 320 = $3040/month and that's not a little sum. With such income, do they really have to live in some rural area with poor public transit and job choice? Something doesn't add up here.
There was no such problem with lead-acid batteries, so I don't there will ever be with li-ion.
You might be right. I really am frustrated by the mindset that says that because a Linux system administrator could get some feature to work, that means it's available to mainstream users; that logic really does suggest that you can do virtually anything on a desktop computer, which is technically correct but kind of negates the whole premise of the question.

But if I came off as personally rude, I apologize and will try harder not to do that.
What purpose is there for being able to remove the cell modem?

If it's going to run a Broadcom/Qualcomm binary anyway to function, what do you really gain?

Someone who's concerned about this level of eavesdropping I would think shouldn't bother with cellular devices at all?
No, it's regular MTA service, not the greatest but gets me from point A to point B. I always pay attention to something other than the ride so I'm having a good time..
In this case, a state is forcing platform providers to build in side-doors for domestic players.

The analogue counterpart could be... Import tariffs to bolster certain domestic companies at the expense of the middle class. Or... Subsidized production of XYZ at the expense of a real marketplace. (Recent/contemporary examples.)
I know that the Belastingdienst is going after people pretty hard for tax avoidance/evasion at the moment. Things are changing quite quickly in this area in the EU, and NL is no exception. What worked well for people 5 years ago could well result in a pretty full on audit now leading to nasty bills to pay back owed taxes.

The only problem is companies like Amazon, Google etc. are still getting away with paying 0 taxes everywhere... easier for the Belastingdienst to take on SME's first I guess. :/
US faces another cyber attack; major data centre providers hit by ransomware
> • Not all the source code is on GitHub; crucially their modification of the TeX engine seems to be distributed only as the two `.wasm` binary files). Not sure if they plan to share more or not.

PdfTeX is GPL-licensed, so if this is derived from pdfTeX (is it?), I assume they'd be required to make their source available. (Note that the GPL says that "the source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it", which I don't think would be a .wasm binary file.)
That didn't use to be the case. In the last few years the supreme court appointment system has become way more political than it ever used to be. I'd argue it means that there is becoming more and more disagreement in the general public on what laws even mean. This causes politics to be inserted into the legal system because the "meaning of laws" itself has become politicized. Why this change has happened is a good question.
New York expanded their bike lanes a few years ago, I would bet that has had a much bigger impact.
> it also does make the web faster

this is true

This is not. If google removes ranking incentive, people will forget about AMP the next day
A quick point of order is that dang is a (the?) hn moderator, so should probably not be dismissed so quickly.
Yeah I have but this isn't the setting for my play-style which tends to overanalyze. So small scale battle is my jam.
If you are allowing for non-legal or quasi-legal means, then most of the devices we carry are susceptible to mostly non-video privacy invasion (cell phones, fitbits, implanted medical devices, cars, etc.). Adding the Ring increases video surveillance. An Echo Dot in your home increases your vulnerability by adding another device (increasing your attack footprint), but the similar data and more could be accessed through your phone.

For example: A phone's gyroscope might be able to listen in on you, even if your microphone is off:

The other one is a rye aged gin. Obviously, it has a bit more of a whiskey tone, but it is good as well.

I play VR driving games, including a steering wheel setup. Wouldn't you know it, I crash a lot in games and drive in excess of 200mph, or drive a 20 ton tractor trailer at 100mph weaving through traffic. If I crash, I reload. Meanwhile, the couple times I've tried to actually drive above 100mph, I've felt incredibly uncomfortable (despite my new car ostensibly being designed for the autobahn and possibly higher than that speed)

VR isn't magic. Your brain is pretty good at subtly understanding you won't die if you make a mistake
But the important thing is the rate. How would you measure the habitat destruction? Distinct species per unit area? Biomass per unit area? Climate change affects no possible proxy that you could select as fast as a bulldozer and a housing development. (And in recent years, climate change has been positive for global biomass.)
Yeah. IIRC the "assumed returns" is finally going to be changed now so it's more in line with actual returns outside of more risky single stock investments (or other risky ventures)
Ideally, but unless that person was well known for their opinion then the consultants usually get all the credit.
“What is the impact if I don’t do this?”, is a stricter filter.
Lottery winners are selected from the population of lottery players which probably skews toward impulsive consumption and away from entrepreneurialism.
I don't know if this is always the case.

High end consultancies have sold oursourcing that decimated the UKs IT orgs, and are now selling in-sourcing, whilst in reality many are just selling outsourcing to them with new buzzwords like DevOps and microservices.

It might be what the businesses wanted to do all along, but I'm not sure it's what they "knew they should be doing".
Oversimplified answer...

Because the agencies were (and still are) told that they must use GSA first. The theory is that GSA market will provide a competitive price or that the GSA sole source will be a competitive price.

Reality does not match the theory.
Why do we as adults presume a child of say 6 or 7 years of age understands the context or ramifications of searching taboo terms on the Internet and subsequently put said child in trouble for being curious?
In all fairness, I've heard the use of "real time" applications with respect to chat (websockets) or video (WrbRTC). This is the first time I've been introduced to this definition of real-time computing.

I'd be interested to see how many people are aware of this definition and why there appears to be such a divide in the first place.
I am really interested in using this GCP Operator and the corresponding ones from AWS and Azure to replace functionality from Open Service Brokers with a more Kubernetes-native experience.

Even better, this model uses the RBAC, namespaces, quotas and tools that developers are already using.
Look nice !

Does LineageOS & GrapheneOS provides source code for all closed kernel drivers include modems?

How many people they can assign for serious Android security audit (>million lines of code)?

So, better be realistic about resources. Lineage even used Google DNS & Google internet checkers a lot of time, and probably uses it now. And I even don't started talking about general Google Play store apps, sending user data to Chinese servers is "normal" now.

Also worth pointing out Google can and does rank websites by any criteria they choose. So if the top ranking sites have poor usability that is on Google in the first place.
It does not; from the system perspective it's just a USB-on-M.2 peripheral that works perfectly well with free software such as Linux, libqmi, ModemManager, oFono or fsogsmd.

You don't usually say "printing requires non-free software" just because your USB printer runs some non-free firmware inside, even though it's technically true.
Screen quality is nowhere on the list and is a major factor. As is OS, that has a major impact on the user experience and price and should be factored in.

the word monopoly gets mistakenly used in place of anti-competitive all the time.

Are you describing predatory pricing? Where they sell at a loss to put competition out of business or to grow faster? Or are you trying to say its not profitable to sell on ebay or shopify instead of amazon? Amazon using its scale to clone products and sell them with low margins, in an effort to prevent competition from springing up is anti-competitive, but its not them being a monopoly.
But it's no more real than the existing videos of accidents in drivers' education classes. If it happened to somebody else, or in a simulation, it's not real. People are inherently solipsistic about such things.

Funny stuff. It raises so many social questions:

How does such bad work go undetected for so long? What fraction of coders are like this? How many years can someone peddle such lousy code to one employer or another? Do they eventually learn better, or find another career, or become management?

What is even the point of scroll-jacking like this? Is there some SEO or monetization opportunity I don't get? Pretty much everyone (surely including the site owner?) who runs into weird chunky wrestling-an-oiled-pig scrolling like this is going to find it a crappy experience so there must be some compelling reason that I don't understand for its continuing existence.
Agreed, and even if the consultants aren't more credible than the intern people, they at least have less bias than internal people, which can sometimes give their opinion a little more weight.

The thought experiment is predicated on just application of the policy. There are dozens of practical problems with the idea more serious than "it would cut unevenly across socioeconomic and racial layers."

The carrot/stick idea is interesting though. I wonder if you could incentivize manufacturers to make a really good triangulating beacon that would allow a phone to know if it's in the driver area of the car, and whether the car is in motion. The phone could disable all functions for the duration of the drive based on this signal. You'd do this in firmware and ideally using some sort of chain of trust that can't be circumvented by rooting the phone. Free software folks would squawk, but the world might be better off for it.
It's set up so all contestants get the exact same set of mods. Finishing in world record time in such a competition is indeed meaningless; it's just about winning the race.

So this isn't necessarily what you'd call a randomiser — often the mods aren't randomly generated at all, but carefully curated by the event organisers. But it's à propos in terms of 'new experience every time'.

One neat aspect of this approach is how unexpected the mods can get; e.g. your player character could be swapped out for a character from a different game. Then there's the extreme variant of mystery races, where the runners don't even know which games they're going to play.
