> None of the job ads I saw had had anything in them that resonated with me.

I occasionally see ones that resonate with me, but either require an education I can't afford to obtain, or want over a decade of experience working in similar roles.
When I got my XS ($1000) it was because I planned to keep it for a long time. It's been a year and a half and I have zero complaints of degradation in speed, battery life, etc. Still feels like new. I plan on keeping it for four years at least. Compare that to the $500 phones of the past that would limp across the two-year mark and it's really not unreasonable.
> There are plenty of companies that have paid products and still do user-hostile things including stalking, spam, dark patterns, etc.

This is a good point and I'm glad we're finally seeing some pushback. I would have a problem working for a company that does unethical things and I was surprised that so many people don't care. And before you tell me that people don't have a choice — perhaps some don't, but that certainly doesn't apply to all the crowd that moves to Silicon Valley to work for Google.
edit: in the interest of being less combative I've reworded this entire comment.

The First Amendment does not apply to this situation. The First Amendment applies to restrictions to speech from the government, but provides no rights or privileges when it comes to repercussions from private entities.

>For example Amazon can't fire a employee for their race, or religion, or sexual preference.
>because Amazon can not retaliate by firing an employee for reporting workplace safety concerns.

Correct, but this isn't why they were fired.

There may be some gray area where the workers could claim protection under the NLRA if they but that really depends on additional details not provided in any of the reporting so far (such as which company policies they broke), and that has nothing to do with any constitutional rights.

It's likely to cannibalize sales from their higher-priced phones, but better to sell a cheaper phone than to lose the customer entirely.

I noticed that if you scroll down to the bottom of the press release, they are also accepting orders for the magic iPad keyboard as of today...
The most perplexing part has always been the positioning of the SE as the low-price iPhone.

As an SE fan, I would happily, HAPPILY pay $1000 every two years to keep getting upgraded internals in the current form factor.

Yes Apple, I'm sure it's harder to fit those parts in a smaller case. That's why you should charge me more!

It's not a matter of Ludditry. That form factor is ergonomically ideal for a certain kind of phone use. That's precisely why it was so successful for so long.
Also, it's a slippery bugger.

I've had my iPhone 8 for almost 2 years and now I'm working from home I've taken it out of it's case to fully enjoy the design.

Honestly, probably easier to hold a live fish than this bloody phone.
I think ProPublica does what you're describing.
I guess the size escalation is just like with cars. It seems "nobody" wants smaller phones or cars, so every time there's a new model they get bigger.

As a person who does actually prefer smaller phones and cars, it's a disappointing trend. "Buy used" or "deal with it", I suppose.
this is what i'll get when my 8 breaks, hopefully not in the next 2 years
Not just that, living (or just being in) a city with cars is also terrible. Its lose lose for everyone.
Full quarantine is effective, almost tautologically so. If the virus is still increasing exponentially then whatever quarantine measures you do have in place simply aren't full enough yet. At the extreme end of a full quarantine, imagine everyone is prohibited from leaving their homes for any reason, and once a week someone in a fully sealed bunny suit comes by to drop off food for the week. That's a pretty darn full quarantine, and you better believe it'd be effective.

Fortunately, we don't need to go to such extreme measures to get the replication rate below 1, but my point is, that extreme measures absolutely do work. The virus isn't magic; it needs to spread through relatively close personal contact. If you eliminate personal contact and sharing of spaces entirely, it cannot spread at all.
Maybe you should give an Xperia a shot? https://www.theverge.com/2012/7/26/3189309/apple-sony-iphone...

You have to add $75 a year to the operating cost of these phones, for AirPods, which appear to have a design life of about 18 months, max.

I am very frustrated as the SE is really getting to end of life. I have bought 3 of them in the past month from various eBay sellers with good feedback. One fake, one had a badly degraded battery, and the other went into a reset loop after a couple weeks. There's not much out there. Apple's privacy is second to none, usability is very good (though if they introduce one more type of swiping I'm going to go mad. What's next, Force Swiping?), but the hardware is getting extremely inconvenient. Even my buddy who has large hands complains that the phone is too big and heavy.
So this is a philosophical argument, but lots of those industries indirectly screw their customers. Optometrists who sell frames generally sell brands from companies like Luxottica who have made eyewear really expensive. The entire insurance industry is one of the major reasons healthcare is expensive and ruins the experience people have with patient care. All of this various from country to country of course.

I could go on, but sometimes your choice is working on a product that either screws the users directly (e.g. ads) or indirectly. Take your pick of where you want to draw the line.
Oh my goodness thank you so much for this! I'm gonna show this to our performance team. I appreciate you sharing the comparison, this is very helpful.
If you fancy reading some rust, smoltcp [0] by u/whitequark_ [1] is a pretty good starting point, especially considering it intentionally leaves out functionality and compliance for the sake of simplicity and safety [2][3].

Then there are the more complete netmap [4] and lwIP [5] TCP/IP implementations too, but in C.

I think the point was, if you're going to invest in someone reckless, you might as well invest in a reckless company where at least if they deliver what they claim, the returns will be substantial.

At least if Theranos had delivered what they claimed, they would have had a wildly valuable product. WeWork was always transparently just a middle man for real estate.

WeWork's fall wasn't because they failed to deliver what they promised; it's that what they promised wasn't even that valuable in the first place. That is an even more embarrassing miss for an investor to have bought into than to be wrong about tractability, as valuing a business model should be a VC's bread and butter, whereas tractability is a fundamentally hard and niche problem that's different for every business, and an easier place to be misled.
The SE is great but my battery is quite bad now and as soon as it gets below room temperature, the battery drops from 50% to 10% and then starts turning off.

Probably will be changing the battery and keeping my current SE, the new one is not the same form factor. Agreed on the camera.
For me, I prefer the 4" screen but I can handle a slightly bigger screen. Touch ID is a must and I'm glad they kept it. But the loss of the headphone jack will be bad, so I'll stick with my current SE as long as it's supported.
I second this, I used to have VSCode installed alongside Vim, but LSP allows to have a proper autocompletion virtually effortlessly, or at least more easily than before.

> we cannot ignore the past. None of the options you listed are part of Americana imo.

To the contrary, commuter rail transit systems, primarily streetcars, were very much a feature of American cities from Cincinnati to San Francisco in the period from the late 1800s through the mid-century. Ignoring them is, as you yourself say, ignoring the past.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetcars_in_North_America
I would think that one would typically expect NAS drives in particular not to use SMR, especially since SMR is known to be problematic in RAID setups, etc. Not to mention the write performance issues.

It's so frustrating that all that was needed to avoid most of this was some transparency. At least list in the specs that they have SMR. It's essentially lying by omission.

But I'd probably go a step further and say that marketing an SMR drive as a NAS drive is user-hostile and destined to cause problems
can I contribute to COVID-19 research without getting a bright red phone?

Yes. Write a check. Mail the check. Done.
There is also a difference between phones. My 7 only makes decent pictures under the best of conditions. In other conditions it yields grainy and water painting style pictures. My wife’s 7, ordered at the same time yields way sharper and higher resolution pictures in the same situations.
LA Story: Success with Covid-19
I have a USB C->headphone dongle. Came free about three phones back. Works fine.

If I need to power the phone at the same time, I have a USB-C -> headphone and USB-C dongle. I keep that one in the car. It cost about 5 bucks.

Can you not do this with Apple kit?
> What else would motivate their decisions to forego profit on the allowed product categories?

Let's look at the situation. First, there's the added cost of complying. Second, there's a risk that even with a good faith attempt, they would not be able to comply, and thus there could be fines. Third, by restricting what can be sold, the order may have diminished Amazon's revenue and profits. So it could very well be that under the order it is not profitable for Amazon to operate its warehouses in France.

> They are not, but they are aiming at leveraging their near-monopoly status to create public outrage against the decision.

Maybe it's a bad decision with bad consequences, and that is what would cause any outrage. Maybe there won't be any outrage after all, since the French apparently have solidarity with the workers in these warehouses? I don't see any evidence that Amazon is artificially inflating their response to generate outrage.
I'm referencing the "1 hour-task", which from my understanding usually does not demand to customize the editor itself. I mean what task would even demand customizing the editor, which would not be possible with other environments like bash, python, ruby, powershell?

> The easy answer is you want the bells and whistles of the editor, e.g., you want to process your current selection, for example I have a customization to quickly archive the selected piece of text

But you don't need elisp for this. Interweaving external tools is possible in any mature editor, including emacs.
What're you using now?
It seems like French government is going to pay for most of the workers salaries in both case: a plan that you may activate in France in case of "substential order decrease", which is caused by any outcome of the current situation as I understand it.
It was incredibly sad to watch. The last time I saw him while he was still speaking — he is still alive but doesn’t speak or seem to recognize me anymore — he would repeat the same questions from the same conversation in the same order on a 30-minute loop. Over and over.

I’ve really struggled to wrap my mind around his condition. I don’t think it’s frustrating for him. He seems to have lost the emotion to be frustrated.

I think we all have a sense of Alzheimer’s because we’ve all forgotten something. This isn’t that. Lee’s memory, if anything, seemed to improve and he’d bring up little details from when we first worked together I’d long since forgotten. What seemed to go away was his ability to process those memories into something more.

It’s hard to imagine losing the ability to imagine. And, as his friend and colleague, it was incredibly frustrating when we just thought he was checked out. And then devastating when we learned all this time he’d actually had a disease.

I do wonder if some of his genius came from his ability to shut down some of the other noise in his life. And if the disease, for some time before it became debilitating, was almost a superpower. I’ve never met an engineer like him.

I miss him every day.

Existing cases counts are at worst fantasist, at best state and policy dependent. You can't compare case counts between countries.

> Banning Amazon from selling nonessential items seems detrimental to society.

My hot take: having companies, that are so large that banning them is detrimental to society, is detrimental to society and extremely dangerous. We should never give so much power to one corporation. It should always be possible to reject a company.
See that's funny because despite switching to Oneplus I still miss the camera from my Note 4 every day. Even the "standard angle" cameras these days have such wide fields of view there's never enough detail on my subject to make my pictures worth having.
This is bar none the saddest comment I have read on HN in recent memory. Do that many of us feel that helpless and useless? Almost every tech we use was started by a single talented and/or dedicated person with the support of a small group of similar people.

This is that small group of similar people, and you may be that person.

We exist. Change is real. Do something.
It's similar in the same way giving people stuff if they do what you want is similar to breaking their knees when they don't.
No problem. Good luck bringing these numbers down!

Maybe this group that you described is a small minority now?
If you've got 1,000 drives, a 99.5% or 98.5% success rate doesn't matter so much - you're going to be replacing a drives anyways. If you have 2 or 4 drives, dividing the probability that you have to replace any drives at all by a third is a big deal.

When was the last time you plugged your phone into anything except to charge? And when was the last time you needed to charge it and listen to music at the same time?

All I'm saying is, lots of people who are going on and on about the headphone jack are upset out of principle, even though it won't actually degrade their user experience to a meaningful degree. I'm not saying it was the right decision, necessarily, but I'm saying you'll have a better time if you just accept it and move forward. It really isn't that bad.

Edit: Personally I only ever charge at night, and only ever use headphones when I'm walking around/driving somewhere. I guess battery life varies, but I also suspect that a lot of people are eagerly charging at every opportunity, even if they'd last the day without doing so. My XS lasts two days on a charge, usually.

Firefox does full font fallback. So this means your system just isn't capable of rendering her name (which yes you might be able to fix if you wanted to by installing font packages). If you don't understand Han characters that's an acceptable situation, the dotted boxes (which I assume rendered instead) alert you that there is something here you can't display properly but if you know you can't understand it even if it's displayed there's no need to bother.

It really is just plain text. Human writing systems were always this hard, and "for many years" what you had were separate independent understandings of what "plain text" means in different environments, which makes interoperability impossible. Unicode is mostly about having only one "plain text" rather than dozens.

It is not mandatory that your 80x25 terminal learn how to display Linear B, you can't read Linear B and you probably have no desire to learn how and no interest in any text written in it. But Unicode means your computer agrees with everybody else's computer that it's Linear B, and not a bunch of symbols for drawing Space Invaders, or the manufacturer's logo, if you fix a typo in a document I wrote that has some Linear B in it, your computer doesn't replace the Linear B with question marks, or erase the document, since it knows what that is even if you can't read it and it doesn't know how to display it.

That's really important to keep in mind for all this - while we should probably have a couple of cans of things kicking around, we can eat normally. At least where I was stores have returned to normal stock levels. If the power goes out for long enough that the meat goes bad in the freezer, we're now in Mad Max territory, and you can then break into your can supply and start to develop plans on rebuilding civilization.

I basically think this is correct and it comes down to lawyers.

It's now the team of Trello lawyers, AND the team of ACME company lawyers, against Sole Person and their lawyers.

From Trello's perspective, that is much more of a winnable battle then Trello V Person V ACME.

If you're likely to be sued by the loser on the side of a battle, get sued by the one with a smaller warchest.
As an iPhone SE user, I am sympathetic to those who miss its screen size. However, as someone who also remembers how desperate the market was for an iPhone with larger real estate around the 5/5S/5C era, and how evolutionary the iPhone 6 was when it came out, I am fine with it being a compromise size.

I also understand that last year’s X-cessively large phones have conditioned users to be resigned towards huge pricy devices, thus making this new SE more dramatic-seeming.
You can get a Lightning adapter for iPhones. The problem is, I know myself—I will lose the adapter, likely right before a long trip.

I can't keep the adapter plugged into my headphones indefinitely, because then I wouldn't be able to connect them to my other devices (multiple computers, etc).
How much of that is related to a higher percentage of black people doing more dangerous jobs (one with increased contact with the public)

Personally, I like to make RAID mirrors with drives of different brands, or at least different models. Even it it is not ideal for performance, it helps making sure that not all drives fail at the same time.

i do that too, and effectivele that means i had to get one of each brand available. the choices are really limited here.

I still use a 7. I don't even notice it, which is exactly what I want in a phone - it does what I need and doesn't annoy me or have many annoying quirks.

iOS's new text interface may still push me to Android. The affordances for text on iOS have historically been simple, dependable, and understandable. Now, I find myself struggling to select, copy, and edit text fields. Gesture-based cursor management doesn't work well on small screens.
I question how many people are actually using the flour they're hoarding, and how many are just putting it in the back of the pantry because, "When the end of the world comes, you'll need flour!"

It's very irritating for those of us who actually bake on a regular basis and resisted the temptation to hoard for hoarding's sake.
The take I have on this: I will only take the critics seriously if the stand they take puts something for them to lose. Basically, Skin in the Game.

If you criticize your employer by putting other sectors of the company in a fragile position and still think you should not face any consequence, you have no SITG.

Simply put: no symmetry in the risk you are taking => no weight to your words => I just don't care at what you say.

Likewise, if you just learn about a perceived misdeed from a company and all that you can say is "This does not make me want to work there" but it does not make you say "I will not allow myself the benefit of consume something that was achieved through bad working conditions", you have no SITG. You don't work there already, you are not losing anything -> no weight to your words => I don't care at what you say.

It's probably a lot more accessible than you think.

The congressional recommendation is for entrance into the US Air Force Academy, which is a 4-year university.

If you already have your degree, you can apply for OTS (which is your initial officer training - I think it's 3 months long now) and a pilot slot directly.

Another option a lot of people overlook too is getting to pilot training via the Reserves or ANG. Those units can interview and hire you directly, and you'll go through the same training and do the same job with a lot less red tape.
