I’m not a healthcare professional but from what I’ve been reading clinical ADHD produces rather characteristic patterns in brain MRI scans in response to stimulation. I guess one could check that with a newborn if they found any value in diagnosing it so early?
I hope the irony of this isn't lost!
The fact that our CPU designs and languages keep changing every year doesn't help. I'm sure there are lots of Z80 experts that know how to develop high quality software for that processor but nowadays we need to support x86, ARM and soon RISC-V. This forces us to use Javascript, Java or Kotlin which are cross platform by default. However, Kotlin is a very new language. Javascript and Java are currently undergoing rapid iteration (Java 14 is out!).
According to the submission: "out-of-the-box support for community builds of Ubuntu Touch and Sailfish OS"

So even if it's not easily hackable or if MediaTek isn't famous for releasing kernel sources, seems like the company behind the phone will make sure at least Ubuntu Touch and Sailfish OS runs on it.

Edit: also, the sentence right your quote explains "In this case, however, Volla told us that its kernel sources should be publicly available"
To be fair, this particular design seems to be one of those common Chinese ones used by any company who wants to make a phone. It's really easy to assemble, hard to disassemble. It's been used in countless Xiaomi phones, lesser known Chinese brands, even Samsung seems to have borrowed from it.

It's the same basic design as the OnePlus 6/6t, boards and battery glue sandwiched between two pieces of glass (the front one being the screen itself). If they skip on the material and fit quality (like Xiaomi does), it can be done for really cheap in any semi-decent factory.

If my experience with anything MediaTek still holds, they better use a good heatsink, because their chips get hot, and they die from it, too.
well, if it "buys" the kernel source so that mainline-linux is theoretically possible I'm really fine with it.
>Though it’s called a tax, it’s really just confiscation.

After all, they earned their money through hard work alone, with no help from the infrastructure, education system and social policies of the country. And now that they have an ungodly pile of it, they should be able to take it to whichever new country will require them to give back the least, and stop contributing to the country that made them rich.
"Iterations of the white back case of the Volla Phone." are literally moving the printed logo around; not about actually designing even the case.
I think my comment contains speculation that is labelled as such, and historical observations. What assumptions do you mean?

I just finished listening to an engaging series of podcasts by Michael Lewis (author of Flash Boys, The Big Short etc.) about the loss of referees in our society. It's called Against the Rules: https://atrpodcast.com/

Much of reddit still has functioning referees in the form of its moderators, but I'm seeing signs of it cracking — e.g. when I researched the backgrounds of certain moderators I found out that they produced content in some space and would allow their own stuff to get posted while blocking other people's submissions.
Don't need R&D or custom parts if you use existing designs and existing part lines from China. This is the same design used by many Xiaomi phones and lots of clones/rebrands. Someone mentioned even Siemens has one.

While I don’t have Instagram or Twitter, another area you see this phenomenon is YouTube. Channels like Bon Appetit have quietly become huge.

Also, while the author is correct on the status symbol nature of these two brands, they only very quickly note that both KitchenAid and Le Creuset are historically “buy it for life” tools in a world of planned obsolescence.

That being said, I use a $40 Lodge enameled cast iron Dutch oven, and it works just as well. I’m curious about cheaper KitchenAid alternatives.

I think calling 'peteretep’s emotion Schadenfreude is possibly incorrect [0]. I think all that 'peteretep is wishing for is a similar sort of evolution/enlightenment in journalism to that of the music industry.

We can all agree that professional and ethical journalism is a necessary part of a well-functioning democracy as you point out. We can also agree that journalism has been decimated, especially at the local level, as you also pointed out. The observation that 'peteretep made about music piracy and its effect upon how music is monetized today is a fact: today, we have multiple streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, among others) and music stores (Apple Music, Beatport, Bandcamp(?) among others. The situation in the music industry remains imperfect, but 'peteretep’s claim that music piracy combined with new technology acted in concert as a forcing function to move the music marketplace closer to where producers and consumers want it to be seems sound.

I for one consume the vast majority of my US political news from Hasan Piker knowing full well that he is a leftist [1]. He’s a full-time political commentator that streams on Twitch. Ever since I learned about him a few years ago, other political streamers have started streaming on Twitch and other platforms like YouTube. I bemoan the death of the local newspaper, but only because of the lack of coverage. Why can’t people with cellphone cameras stream a townhall or a city-planning meeting and let viewers decide the value of the livestream and any associated commentary? The long-celebrated journalistic institutions today have all in some way, shape, or form been “captured” by the political forces of the day. Did your organization report too much controversial news concerning the political sacred cows? Well then, you lose access, which is a death knell for such burgeoning organizations with high headcount and fixed costs. One last question: who hands out these press passes anyway because it’s not like you need a license in journalism to report the news?

Everyone just clears cache to reset the article counters anyway, this just makes it more convenient. If newspapers really want to lock down their content they are free to do so. If you’ve ever seen or used a Bloomberg terminal that is a great example of how to do it. However they know that will never work on a public scale as long as there is a single free source of news anywhere, so they don’t do that.

>1. Habitats are mobile. If you don't like the neighbours you can up and move, something not possible with geography on Earth;

Mobile? Are we talking O'Neal Cylinders here? While yes, technically they will be mobile, I highly doubt the reaction mass requirements to actually move a constructed space habitat on the scale of maintaining as near to self-sufficiency as possible a city size population would be terribly practical, especially if everyone was doing it wantonly.

Keep in mind the effect as of late with Moore's Law in processors, and realize that the same phenomena is likely to happen with spaveflight in that yes, the technology will scale in capacity, but a great deal of that capacity may be expended in rendering the technology "more accessible" to the less specialized consumer as opposed to remaining in a state where you're actually optimizing for maximum throughput theoretically possible.

Cars/motorcycles would be another example of the same phenomena I'm trying to get across in that we're trading technically superior performance of the motorcycle (maximally efficient, yet relatively hard to control and severe to lose control of) vs. The relative safety and friendliness offered by a car to an less skilled user, even if lugging around all the extra metal eats into the overall efficiency of attaining movement of small packets of material from point A to point B via motion attained through internal combustion processes.

Never mind the political issues. I fail to entertain enough optimism to realistically expect even getting beyond the ISS-like stage of space habitation within my lifetime at the rate we're going, and fully expect climate/ecological breakdowns to start creating too much conflict to really keep us moving forward in a cooperation friendly regime.

I'd love to be proven wrong though.

You still have to know exactly the same amount of information to know if someone is working or not, but you only have to know one piece of information per moment, because "what time is it now?" is the same for everyone.

If everyone has the same frame of reference, you don't get coordinate translation errors.

Yes, they earned their money legally. And yes, they already paid tax on said money in the country they earned them.

Those are the only two facts that should matter. The rest is just snark.
To me it seems like this is an enternal struggle of /having to be/ a "hipster", and move to the newest services/forums. In the sense that the only untainted grounds will be the ones where there's not that many people yet, or people joining/promoted to influencial positions are scrutinized.

It takes very few bad actors to poison the well. At least on Reddit, there's a myriad of small subreddits which makes it more difficult to infiltrate all of them effectively.
Back then, I was quite young. Around 2002.

We were like 5 boys getting into overclocking. For our SETI team, the "Bücki crunching connection", from my small hometown in Germany.

I just tried to find an old screenshot from back in the day, and wow I found one, from 2002:

https://imgur.com/a/L5Q5PMR

So funny, it is all there: ICQ, mIRC; an icon to launch Quake III. And some SETI crunching stats. In Internet Explorer.

Seemingly we were actually crunching under one account for the team OC-CARD.de (http://www.setiatwork.com/team/teamstats.cgi?teamid=30308)

You might have done the same, but I am still sharing this because this has influenced me a lot:

I bought an AMD Duron, some arctic silver heat paste. I took a lead pencil to connect some dots on the CPU to unlock the multiplier freely, got a freaking heat sink, and overclocked the hell out of the Duron. I needed to hide this from my parents, but of course the plan was to crunch 24/7.

I found another screenshot, the file is called "duri@fsb133.jpg". Looks like I knew what I was doing:

https://imgur.com/a/eG9nmdO

Edit: looks like our team (OC-CARD.de) was actually among the top 200 of all SETI teams. Wow, yeah there were some serious people in the team, like "Butcho", ranking in the top 1000 of individuals. No idea who that guy was and where he got the compute resources from. That's the romantic part of that Internet era.

Edit2: turned this into a very quick blog post to properly archive my own memory here: https://gehrcke.de/2020/03/setihome-hibernation/

Paywalls are a dishonest idea born from the necessity to game page-rank algorithms.

There is nothing stopping these sites from creating login-only paid portals.

They don't. Why? Ranking and the benefits.

It seems like a "have my cake and eat it too." strategy, and i'm not too keen on supporting it, personally.. even more so given that many of these sites are just simply AP 'spin&regurgitate' sites.

I'm waiting on big G to hit paywall sites harder in rankings, but I don't really see it in the cards. Here's hoping.
I got the train from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh city last year - the length of Vietnam.

I was struck by the phenomenal degree of light pollution the dragonfruit plantations made - huge arrays of incredibly bright lights, illuminating the sky and area for miles around them in a brighter than moonlight glow.

Similarly, while at sea in the Andaman and gulf of Thailand, the entire horizon is dotted with the bright sparks of squid boats, which use huge lighting arrays as artificial moons to attract squid.

Between the smog and light pollution, it’s a wonder there’s any night sky at all in SE Asia.

Stop Using IsLoading Booleans
I often use google to search specific sites, because of this reason.

The simple issue is that people who make money from being first page on Google can afford the money it takes to game the index to their benefit.

This would be true of other search engines too if they were as popular as Google, so I don't blame them for it. Nor do I envy their task. I imagine making SEO gaming harder would be in Google's benefit, so they could sell more advertising.

Commerce has ruined Google's results consistently for years now. It is just what commerce does to everything, when there is money to be made from it. You can't even fly on a plane you paid to be on without being advertised at as thanks for your patronage.
My understanding was that quantum volume was an attempt to unify the previously used metric of number of qubits with some concept of potentially being able to do useful work. The last part being why these metrics are elusive. Adding more Transistors to a processor is only useful if we agree they are all beinh used. Same with qubits, in particular if you can't error correct your qubits you can't be confident in the result. So improvement in quantum volume seems to give a better yardstick for the roadmap on general quantum computing.
That sentence would probably hold true if you went to ten financial advisers.

After all, sometimes you'll buy a guitar then realise although you like the idea of knowing how to play, you don't much like the idea of practising. Better to figure that out with a $300 guitar than a $3000 guitar.

And hell, often cheap devices last years anyway under home use, if you know how to look after them; my $7 electric whisk and $45 electric hammer drill are still working just fine after 10 years!

(Of course, you don't want to go so cheap it becomes dangerous/difficult/underpowered and artificially makes you not use it - I've mostly had the judgement or luck to avoid that)

This works in the acquisition phase, which I suspect Robinhood is nearing the end of.

Are there any E2EE alternatives to it?
I've thought about this for our product and I've made a different conclusion. Our service is combination of hardware and software and in the initial phase we would set things up. We've decided to go with a bucket based pricing because we wanted to remove the temptation to try and reduce your total cost by turning off hardware which is used less often.

When you can reduce your bill by sending 1 less SMS, you get an incentive to do so. If you are sending 2500 SMS, you cannot really scale down to 1000 in a meaningful way. On the other hand, having opportunity to grow to 5000 SMS a day without cost increase give the company opportunity to test out various ideas which may or may not bring revenue.

All pricing strategies have pros and cons and it is up to each to determine what fits them the best.

I don’t remember them offering any apology or explanation at all.

That’s an exchange mind you where things like the global price of oil and s&p futures trade. Not a small boutique brokerage.

Further they have planned downtime every week & at that point still had planned daily downtime I think.

I think Robinhood screwed up. I think they should learn a hard lesson. But people thinking that trading is some high reliability industry haven’t spent any time in it.

The scary thing to me is are healthcare, aviation & food the same?
People seem to become really attached to the validation from YC.

Getting into an incubator or getting money from investors is zero measure of business success. Business success is users and growth and revenue.

Whether YC blesses you is also zero reflection on you as a person. Rejection by YC means nothing at all.

I think business is about trying to make money, it’s not about YC and funding and the scene and investment rounds and hyper growth and beers after work and been seen as one of the cool kids.

Head down, work, balanced lifestyle, try to make something small succeed on your own.
