> Forbes recently obtained a search warrant from Ohio, signed off on in October 2019, showing an FBI-owned GrayKey was able to extract data from an iPhone 12.5, though no device exists (neither does iOS 12.5). In the search warrant application, the government doesn’t specify what model of iPhone it was, but an image shows it has three camera lenses on the back of the device. Only Apple’s top of the range iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max models have three cameras.

Love this speculation about a non-existent mystery iPhone model when a quick search reveals that yes, iPhone12,5 is the model number for 11 Pro Max.

Someday I need to turn this into a blog post.

HTC may have had a touch UI, but they didn’t have a capacitive touch screen (did the XDA use a stylus? I’d wager it did).

More importantly, Apple was the only company willing to:

* commit all their resources to a single UI and single phone

* write their own operating system for said phone to have control over its fate and optimize for that UI

* offer a sales experience where people could discover the phone, see how it worked, and get expert help, with sales people who actually knew about the phone and weren’t offering users the choice of three dozen competitors at the same time

This "Apple is only good at marketing" idea is vastly off the mark.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm on Arch though and pretty happy with my current setup anyhow.

You mean like how this year is the latest in a long run of parts of the country breaking temperature records year round, as well the general uptick in mean-surface temperature since 1950 - http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/annual/aus/2018/#tabs=... ?

Or that we're in one of the longest droughts on record, with many rural towns prior to this (and still actively) running out of water (as in, no water in the pipes at all), and Sydney on water-restrictions?

Mysteriously, Australia has been having a multi-decadal run of consistently seeing the factors which would be worsened by global warming, get worse.

It’s a pity that the common annotation for a “surprising” move is to follow the move code with an examination mark (or two) rather than preceding it; otherwise we would have a simple way of making the model generate surprising moves on command. :)

Show HN: Therapy Price Comparison Tool
You don't, not directly. At least at msft. But you can figure out what level you think you should be based on your experience, and then work backwards to determine what base salary to ask for, and the levels are fairly tightly coupled to that.

And don't let imposter syndrome weaken your resolve on that salary if you're coming from somewhere with way lower baselines. You don't need to be a super hero at any level short of "partner" level. You'll just end up with a lower leveled job than you should.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a healthcare price comparison spreadsheet my partner and I created.

Last year, we were doing a startup that found people therapists. Funnily enough, we pivoted because prices were so high and we didn't to make a luxury product.

Over the past few weeks it's become clear to us that people in the US have to spend increasingly out-of-pocket on healthcare even with insurance. From 2007 to 2017, the percentage of adults with employer health insurance on high-deductible health plans rose from 15% to 43%. For 2020, a high-deductible health plan is defined as one with a deductible greater than $1,400. Providers in certain fields, like therapy, also increasingly just don't take insurance. About 45% of psychiatrists don't take insurance, and in California about 50% of therapists don't take insurance.

Healthcare services prices are becoming very relevant, but we couldn't find a good price comparison tool. For example, I'm looking for a therapist myself, and I've narrowed my list down to 3 providers. The most expensive one is more than 200% of the least expensive one.

A couple of days ago we realized we actually have a decent amount of price data on therapists, so we decided to throw together this spreadsheet and see if it's useful for anyone.

We have about 120 verified prices that we confirmed over phone or email with therapists when we were finding people therapists. We also scraped prices for all the therapists in San Francisco from Psychology Today, the biggest therapist listing directory. (It's really easy to scrape them.) We also added any prices in bills we had access to, ours, friends', and family members'.

Note: you'll have to make a copy of the spreadsheet, and there's a tiny lag when using the dropdowns.

You can see a few interesting things. For example, we recommended the same therapists to multiple users and the prices were different. Prices also vary significantly from area to area.

We would love to make this more robust, so if you have any itemized bills for any healthcare service, not just therapy, we'd love to add them to this dataset! (Submission link in spreadsheet. We don't use your name, address, or contact information, so you can hide/remove any information like that.) We're also open to making it a web app.

Hopefully someone finds this interesting or useful! We'd love feedback, as well as if ya'll shared any of your experiences paying for healthcare out-of-pocket or any comparison tools y'all are aware of.

> Fourth, roughly 30% of those estimated animals are birds, of which other experts say 99% would survive because, ya know, they can fly away. Of the other 70%, many others would have just walked or slithered or run and gotten away from the fire.

The fires we're talking about here aren't ones you can easily get away from if you're caught by them.

If they're near a firebreak of some kind (large river, cliff, etc) the animals may be able to escape, but otherwise these are very fast moving and very hot fires.

It's reasonable to think that for animals caught up in the fires, at least for ground dwelling animals, more were severely impacted than were not.

I'm not sure about birds. Where did you see the 99% number?

The fires can get hot enough to kill you from 100m away, cause firestorms, and are massive. A lot of birds would have needed to fly a very long way to be safe, and I've no reason to think that they either could or did.
I don't know if this is as standard across the FAANG (and similarly styled companies) as an IC interview is - some companies expect managers to have been able to be successful as mid-level ICs, and some might not. Recruiters will generally happily describe company's process to you if you're applying, or will tell you if you ask if they reach out to you.

Often, you'll still have a coding (or other technical interview) and a system design interview, and a probably very similar general "people skills/career" type interview that an IC gets. But instead of another one or two technical interviews, you'll have another one or two manager-focused interviews (how to build teams, how to run projects, how to grow individuals, how to navigate a particular scenario).

I mean, that's true of every plane. You pull back too much, it will stall.

It's not that the MAX stalls super easily, It's not an instability. It's just that the controls feel wrong when approaching stall. The FAA have pretty precise regulations about how much backpressure the pilots should feel when approaching stall.

In normal flight, the plane is never anywhere near stalling, so MCAS never activates. Nor do the pilots encounter this weird stall.

The combined chances of both MCAS being disabled AND the pilot not recognizing the stall is pretty low.

But this is why the simulator training is important, so the pilots are familiar with the new feel as the plane approaches stall.
> The problem is that the unprovable statements will include statements that are true, but that the system can't prove.

No, that is a misrepresentation of Goedel's results. A theorem that is undecidable (neither provable nor refutable) from a set of axioms cannot be 'true' in the logical sense (because there are models of that set of axioms in which the theorem is true, and other models in which the theorem is false) - see Goedel's completeness theorem, which says that every truth is provable (and vice versa).

Goedel's incompleteness theorems can be understood on the semantic level as the mathematical structure of natural numbers cannot be characterized by a sane set of axioms, so any such attempt (e.g. peano axioms) that describes natural numbers also describes a different mathematical structure (a nonstandard model of arithmetic) and there exists a theorem that is true in one and false in the other model (so that theorem is undecidable).
Wildlife population demographic estimates are generally unreliable, even in the best of conditions. In the a well-conducted survey, the 95% confidence interval is going to be an order of magnitude--e.g., 10-100.

The number that's thrown out here is not strongly sourced, but given that it's in response to an ongoing event, I suspect that it comes from "take a stab at animals per hectare, multiply times number of hectares burned, and round up to next round number to maximize outrage." Or maybe it will be slightly more accurate, with someone taking the time to dig up some numbers from a prior survey to estimate population differences per biome and tracking down how much of each biome has died.

Which is a long-winded way of saying that these estimates (almost certainly) are not reliable.

Edit: someone else linked the source. The number turns out to be "number of animals per hectare * hectares burned." I still stand by my verdict of not reliable, as there is not an even an indication of what the range of uncertainty is in this information, just a single number.
Good points. I suppose employee ownership is better institutional policy from the outset. I'm not sure it would be an easy transition later in the life of the business.

>A lot of the tasks primitive animals can be replicated by Deep RL algorithms given the same environment.

Highlighted the last part because this is the key difference. Humans and animals can navigate unknown and unstructured and open-ended environments. You can identify a dangerous predator without having to see ten thousand images of mauled bodies.

Humans and animals can generalise in a way that is robust and independent from 'data' because they understand what they see. RL algorithms have no understanding of the world. If you let an RL system play breakout but you resize the paddle by five pixels and tilt it by 2 degrees it cannot play the game.

Daniel Dennett helped popularise the notion of Umwelt, which is losely translated someone's self-centered world as subjectively perceived by an organism and filled with meaning and a notion of how the agent relates to it. It's distinct from an objective 'environment' that everyone shares.

Machines lack this notion, they have no real concept of anything, even the fanciest algorithms. Which is also why conversational agents have only really made advances on one front, which is understanding sound and turning text into nice soundwaves. They have made virtually no progress in understanding irony, or ambiguity or anything that requires having an understanding of the human Umwelt. We don't even have any idea how the mind constructs this sort of interior representation of the world at all, and my prediction is we're not going to if we continue to talk about layers of neurons instead of talking about what the possible structure of a human or animal mind is.
> The LVT model essentially assumes that the only source of community-level improvements worthy of remuneration is the government. Which is obviously nonsense.

Any organisation that purported to represent the community well enough to make community-level improvements (which will almost inevitably make things worse for some people even if they're a huge gain for the community as a whole), like "we should demolish these buildings to put a rail line in" or "should this area be a park or a factory", would have to incorporate the same feedback mechanisms and so on that would make it a de facto government.

If you're doing something that really improves the community as a whole, under LVT the community government should be willing to fund it, since they'll get back all the value. Indeed they have an incentive to seek out ways to improve the community and encourage neighbourhoods to improve themselves, unlike today.

> Governments love to act as though they enjoy an agent/principal relationship with their constituents but neglect the fact that an agent has a individual duty to each principal, not just the majority position. It's an inherent conflict of interest to serve multiple principals with conflicting goals.

Of course it is. Doing anything on a community scale is inherently difficult, and there will inherently be winners and losers. LVT actually helps even that out though - the gains of community-scale improvements accrue to the government of the community as a whole, but by the same token they also bear the cost of any local deteriorations.

> Of course, property taxes have a similar issue, but at least they don't have an explicit goal of negating all profit to the property owner; you don't get the full benefit of contributed improvements but you do get the majority of it.

Property taxes are a completely backwards way to approach this kind of thing, because they punish the owner for the one kind of community improvement that they actually fully control and spend their own money on. Under LVT you keep the full value of your buildings, landscaping and so on (which are the result of your own toil); you pay taxes on the value of the unimproved land, which is a function of the community as a whole rather than your individual efforts.

The Open Access idea has been around for years. ACM has had all of those years to "create a sustainable model".

Science is a community. Publications are the means of communication in that community. Up-to-the-minute access is necessary in order to do relevant research.

As a retired researcher I struggle with spending $40 for a 4 page paper written by someone who was in my research group years ago. Given that I read a dozen or more papers a month I too struggle with "a sustainable model".

You want to be "in the middle" of the community communications and you want to make money doing it. I want to keep up with the community and do research. You are actively blocking that effort.

Not to mention the spot fires that erupt, several km ahead of the main front, giving animals no where to go.

To put that into perspective, where I am, I was getting blackened gum leaves (meaning: highly flammable), but not actual embers when the main fire near me was still 80km away. We started getting cold ash falling when it was 20km away. One spot fire jumped about 5km toward my location (and spread to become 50000ha in it's own right).

(The awesome 'firies' stopped it 8km from me).
