As Apple moves to be more of a service-based company, they are likely factoring in the increase in service value for newly acquired/retained customers.
Nothing is free. Accountability matters.
Good catch, I missed that.
Tencent’s WeChat Poses Creeping Threat to Apple
I think this could also be built out of symlinks in a Linux filesystem. This would be slightly more practical (though, of course, still not practical at all).
I keep seeing this. I’m below average height and I only have use of one hand so I know I never use my phone with both hands. Between the single handed keyboard mode and double clicking on the home button to bring the screen down, I have no trouble using the 8 Plus with one hand.
I think it’d be far more accurate to say that the left wants Trump to stop spreading misinformation on the topic than to say the left is so Machiavellian that it isn’t interested in a cure. For the most part the left seems very happy to just amplify anything Fauci says.
COVID-19 has been called[1] a 'wicked problem'[2] -- tackling it requires efforts across various social systems that may interact unpredictably.

That makes it challenging for organizers to set up and assign funding to one individual project. Instead we're seeing lots of initiatives spring up to improve outcomes in specific areas.

It'd be great to match people who want and are comfortably able to help with effective, useful projects that need their skills.

From what I've seen so far around the Hacker Newsiverse, 'Help With Covid'[3] seems to be a well-organized meta-organization that is responding to the crisis, and I'd be glad to hear of others.

Tobacco and tomatoes are both solonacea. I don't know but imagine that means they can interbreed. Does anyone know?

Thanks for the atomic gardening, I'd not heard of it. I think people back then were slightly mad.

Would it be the same thing to do 1,000 small studies like this one as doing one LARGE study with 1000x more people? Would the results be considered just as useful?
Now? You're probably right.

If you proxy to replace it might not have to stay that way. But the Lava Flow Antipattern is what happens when momentum fails before the work is complete.
Companies working on coronavirus vaccines and drugs
It happens all the time, in exactly the same sense that people are dying “from” COVID-19 (i.e. usually combined with other morbidities). How much of this pandemic is due to the disease actually being worse than other coronavirus diseases, and how much is simply due to the rapid spread/no pre-existing immunity, remains to be seen.

Who else here remembers learning that AIDS patients (people with acquired immunodeficiency) can die from the common cold, in school? Is it not common knowledge that old folks can die from a cold, too?

Still changes the form factor, but without the fidgeting problem. The case makes it easy to pop the phone in and out if you need the original form factor.
Probably, as that sheepskin is still a thing.

A bigger question is whether international students will come back (to US schools). That's where the real money is, and many schools are addicted to it.

I guess I didn't feel confident in my ability to adhere to that policy (of making changes only to the secondary Emacs process), so what I do is keep a backup of my Elisp code with the result that

emacs -q -l <path to backup init file>

Nice choice on the XZ2. Like you I picked up a phone from the Xperia line. It's an older model than yours, namely the Z1 Compact, which I chose after filtering for form factor, LineageOS support, and price. I wrote about it here: https://hallau.world/post/the-perfect-android-phone/

The recent reports about low benefits of HCQ didn't stop Raoult from appearing in a video about the state of HCQ and covid-19 in his clinic. Sadly he seems to be yet again using very wide statistics to justify his views (covid is of no importance compared to yearly stats [0]) and digress into political attacks (his past interactions with pharma labs that weren't conflict of interests).

I still can't say if he's a low hanging troll [1] or if he's just so far above the pack that everybody else is braining wrong. That's also his motto... he likes to discuss disruption and paradigm shift in his classes and talks about how every past paradigm was considered gold standard and only people breaking the mold advanced the state of the art.

[0] unsurprisingly Musk is also very fond of wide stats to justify his AutoPilot ~feature

[1] his lab specializes in repurposing well studied compounds for new diseases.. seems like leveraging past efforts to get success (if I go full paranoia :)
That's one more battery to manage. Perhaps a better comparison is wireless mouse or keyboard.
The WHO beeing subverted by chinese soft-power, guided the world into this disaster.

All nations burned by the first SARS (Taiwan, South Korea, HK) who had there own independent organizations and reaction plans did very well in this crisis.

The west, guided by inexperienced, foolish leadership, listening to bad advice from a corrupted institution, ran into this completely unprepared.

Meanwhile nearly all western media still puts that sovjet era-propaganda out there, and having the west called out by a hyper-racist government(ccp), does not much to disuade the crack pots.

After all, they see a very shallow conspiracy play out live on newscasts.
Really good observation. I think retention has become a side effect of happiness, culture and efficiency. We've had low turnover so it really didn't cross my mind because I'm not actively trying to convince people to stay. My takeaway here though is to not take people for granted. Although we have regular 1-1s, sometimes people don't talk about the little things that chip away at them and become big unless they're explicitly asked.
Imagine if Obama had "endorsed" Biden using the same language. Would you have considered it an endorsement? I find the interpretation of what he said to be very peculiar.
I truly feel for your loss. Two of my grandparents have gone or are going through dementia.

I don't think that this has any bearing on the existence of God, however. Humans are the ones who have created such an overwhelming and toxic physical environment and disconnected social one. For God to truly endow us with free will, He had to allow us to fail, even this miserably, and to cause our contemporaries and descendants to suffer for our failures. We have the hope of Christ's return and eternal life but only after everyone has been given the opportunity to turn to God for hope on earth.

I don't mean to prosthletize — this is how I understand the world and helps keep me hopeful in times of grief, and I hope it helps you too.
The iPad is close. It's $309 new from Apple without any discounts applied. Certainly it can be had for ~$250 elsewhere.
I think cardiac surgery is the worst offender because they often have to bypass the heart while performing the surgery, and this can result in blood supply issues while diverting/restoring flow through the heart.
Bummer that this has the slippery rounded edges that started with the 6. My guess is that they're doing this because the iPhone 12 is rumored to return to more rectangular edges, and they want it to be visually distinct.
Give it a little more credit than that, it's a pretty tight LCD that has better effective (observed) DPI than it might appear to have. (As OLED displays take a hit due to the Pentile arrangement) 326PPI in an IPS LCD with HDR isn't nearly as blurry 720P might sell it to be. The iPhone 11 is well reviewed despite similar agreement. Plus chopping the pixel count comes with battery gains. No surpises here.
I'm in your boat here. I have pretty large hands, and I've always regretted not getting the XL size of my Pixel 2.
any tips for managing a multi language mono repo like that?
They absolutely do, services are a larger and larger part of Apple's income.

I believe that's a reason why Screen Time is so bad - it's not a feature, it's just marketing's objection killer.
Trump all but prescribed it to the nation a miracle drug "a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine".

Questioning the wisdom of that, given how little we knew, is seen as a partisan attack on Trump.
> It works with Hasura out of the box, you just can't set the x-hasura-default-role jwt claim dynamically and thus it has to be hardcoded.

Completely incorrect. There's numerous ways you can handle setting a claim in Keycloak, from hardcoded values, simple JavaScript mappers or custom mappers in JVM languages built using the SPI's.
That's not how the government measures it. They either assume some percentile of income is poverty, or they put together a bundle of things (home, food, etc) to see if income covers it. However, that bundle always gets updated to include more and more.
Hydroxycholorquine is an immunosuppresant not an anti-viral, so the theory here is the problem isn't the virus, but reacting to it. It's not quite as silly as it sounds - this does, rarely, work, specifically with malaria. But, it is pretty silly when you contrast the likelihood of it being a meaningful thereapeutic versus the significance it's taken on
Can you check your emails discretly during a meeting if you need to stare at your phone close?
Rail is more environmentally friendly than air, but it lacks capacity and it's not very fast. Ocean is much worse for the environment than air, because emissions from shipping aren't regulated and they burn the worst of the worst while happily dumping waste overboard once in international waters. At least air has global rules on clean operation set by IATA since a few years.
That, and and I bet the price of flagships being so high that people aren't trading in phones as often, which is undermining the used market.
Eh. It just stands for special edition (probably).
Not sure if it is folly for me to try and answer here (no idea if my reply is going to be visible). Thank you for trying to listen anyway.

There is no need to look for malice when there are simpler explanations. No, I do not think Newsom and Cuomo were actively trying to hurt their states' economies; what I said is that they are using the present crisis to advance their political goals _disregarding_ economic fallout. And you are telling it exactly: they are already seen as "taking charge of the situation" while the federal government was "doing nothing". I've seen Newsom being called the savior of the state (nation is the next step, yes) in press and here on HN. Contrast that with what WA state governor was/is doing - I don't even know his name!

I wouldn't try to make projections regarding chances for winning elections; something tells me though that severe unemployment and budget shortfalls are going to be blamed on someone else like federal government failing to provide relief, etc etc. There are all kinds of ways to spin the situation, I would leave that to professionals. There is going to be plenty of them hurting for work.

I live in California, in a smaller rural community way outside Bay Area. It hurts looking at the devastation this lockdown causes: boarded restaurant windows, closed businesses. It hurts listening to the local pediatrics calling us twice a day begging to schedule a virtual check-up "appointment" for kids basically so that they could bill our insurance and get paid _something_. It hurts when I stop by a grocery store and register clerk is happy just to see someone shopping so he could keep his job a little longer. I still have my cushy IT job but I don't have many illusions about keeping it for long if this goes on.

And all this carnage is for what? The latest numbers on Wikipedia state 128,000 deaths worldwide; you know, that's not very impressive for a zombie apocalypse. 760 people died in California so far. In mid-March we were told that California is 10 days behind Italy, and it's going to be hell in here soon. A month later, where is it?

Now take this "roadmap" that Newsom published yesterday. Literally the first bullet point talks about total Big Brother style tracing and monitoring as _necessity_ to even _think_ about lifting restrictions. You sincerely want me to believe all this is done for the sake of us plebe Joes?
One way we try to solve this problem is by prioritizing more urgent meetings (marked ASAP in our tool) and dynamically moving flexible ones around if possible to free up space. This is enabled by default on our paid version. Would that be useful to you? We don't currently book on top of existing meetings and have thought about a priority system but the challenge is keeping that updated as it would require everyone to rank thr importance of their meetings
If that's the limit of our ability to consider something better, the kids don't stand a chance.
The ability to make strong abstract connections transforming into misassociations?

I think about this one a lot, how easy it is for pattern recognition to misfire and synthesize conclusions and connections that are partially rational and correct, but with one bad piece of input data skewing them into fantasy. Sometimes the conclusion may be right, but its magnitude, impact, or applicability are grossly overestimated. Part of what makes such gifted people is the ability to imagine, hypothesize, and use hypotheticals. This giftedness often coincides with the ability to make many parallel what if thoughts and identify the most probable. At some point, hypotheticals morph into faith and what was once a thought experiment becomes belief. What ifs break down into belief "this is actually happening, this is reality." It becomes its own compounding feedback loop, as faulty conclusions layer on top of each other over time.
Similar. That's called a "meta analysis" and tends to happen after many independent uncoordinated small studies have published.

Yeah, but you’d expect the relative proportions to stay the same. There were no new phones released in either form factor.

> DDR5 is about 2.5x the speed of DDR4: https://www.anandtech.com/show/15699/sk-hynix-ddr5-8400 2)

No it isn't, it's ~1.5x the speed of DDR4: 4800 vs. 3200.

The 8400 is a hypothetical module that they _plan_ to make not that they've actually managed to make. And the first generation of CPUs with DDR5 support are unlikely to immediately support the maximum DDR5's spec plans to achieve. Just like CPUs only very recently officially supported DDR4-3200, despite that being on the market for years and years (the 9900K only officially supports up to DDR4-2666 even).

> AMD could add extra memory channels, a 50% increase is reasonable.

Say what now? A 50% increase is reasonable? You're expecting 12-channel memory? The 8-channels in Epyc Rome is already the most of any CPU on the market. I don't see any chance at all that this jumps to 12 in a single generation?

12 channel starts to become a physical packaging problem. dual-socket with 8-channels already is basically the maximum width of a board: https://www.supermicro.com/a_images/products/Aplus/MB/H12DSU...

So you'd have to do a max of 12 dimms per CPU instead of the current 16 dimms, which cuts your max realistic capacity down by a lot.
Agree kind of, although airline seats, sedans and furniture haven't been trending towards one end of the spectrum over a number of years. And I think it sounds like a reasonable idea to offer cars with swappable (or well-adjustable) seats. Airlines already offer seats with extra legroom, as well as business class depending on your needs.

The first touch devices might've been around 3.5-4" (just guessing here) but they've since then been constantly growing to where 6" is nowadays considered normal. How far can you going up in size? It's definitely not comparable to finding the size of a seat, as a phone's "right size" depends on how you intend to use it. There are hundreds of phone models on the market but they all seem to revolve around price points (and hence features/specs). Why not expand the range size-wise as well while at it?

I have fairly large hands and I don't mind manhandling a 6" "phone" but I simply do not want to carry one in my pocket. I can't imagine I'm alone on this. Largest phone I've ever had was 5.5" and that one constantly fell out of my shorts pocket when sitting down and now with the 4" iPhone SE I've grown rather accustomed to the form factor and am willing to trade off usability (more difficult, precise typing required) for it.

And then you have people with small hands.

Edit: Easy one-handed usage is also important to me.
You say "As a current iPhone SE user... Lack of headphone jack is still unacceptable"

But you're a current user... so clearly you accepted it. And as long as you do (accept it, keep buying phones without headphone jacks) why would anyone change? The message you are sending (in the only way they care about $$$) is that you do in fact accept phones without headphone jacks.

Just reading what you're writing...
Isn't that behaviour of Greens only a problem when the drive goes bad? In which case you want it to get kicked out of the array. Or do you mean this will happen to a new Green drive with too high a probability?
Aside from these results, what is the proposed mechanism of benefit here?

And why are we expecting a mechanism with hydroxychloroquine against this virus when essentially no small molecule therapies are effective against viruses in general?
The problem wasn't that Trump encouraged trying it, but that he clearly exaggerated what we knew about its effects and continued to do so for a long time even after having been confronted about it.
These benchmark posts are good but they are a bit unsatisfying, I wish they’d spend more time a laying out the fundamental differences of each technology and the trade offs that are the result of how the different systems are built.

At the end of the day an engineer shouldn’t pick database because it’s the fastest but because it fits their use case the best.

I get that reddis, memcached, and keydb are all roughly in memory hashmaps but beyond that knowing what makes them different, how hard are they to operate, what they are good at and bad at is going to be more helpful in selecting which technology to use than a simple throughout benchmark.
That's happening regardless, but yeah: https://www.google.com/search?q=hydroxychloroquine+manufactu...
I still have my SE, for very good reasons:

1. HEADPHONE JACK. Selling music- and media-centric devices without headphone jacks is stupid and offensive.

2. Ergonomics: FLAT SIDES. You can grip the old SE. Rounded edges are stupid, because the phone wants to flip sideways out of your grip.

And the new SE still uses the Lightning port, which is technically incompetent in addition to being proprietary.
You aren’t in the minority. You are in the silent majority though. Most people -and really emphasizing most in terms of what people actually buy not what they complain about online- don’t care about a 3.5mm jack.

It’s gone, it’s never coming back. To that end, once iPhone goes USB-C it’ll accelerate this majority non-issue.
Honestly as a parent of three children barrelling towards teen-dom cheaper iphones available and supported for the next few years sounds great.
Absolutely this. There's a huge difference between a real Director of Engineering at a FANG-size company versus a "Director of Engineering" who is just some kid who decided to call their side-project a startup and give themself a hugely inflated title.

> In Bangladesh, it announced that the government would create a database of children’s immunisations linked to their parents’ biometric information – most likely a digital fingerprint.

What is meant by "[biometric] digital fingerprint"? Do they just mean a literal fingerprint, but digitized? When I think of "digital fingerprints" I think of things like canvas fingerprinting or maybe perceptual hashing, not anything to do with biometrics.

If they just mean taking prints of fingers and digitizing them, maybe just say "fingerprint" and drop the "digital" from the description. That's easier to understand. If people understand something, they'll fear it less.
Fair enough, but I edited my comment to add that it surprises me that this preference became the popular one. The reason being that in a public place, people can often see what you're watching and there are potentially a lot of distractions, plus on transport the ride might won't always be smooth.
basically I can agree on the basic premise of shooting holiday pictures with an iphone. it works well, as long as there is lots of light. If there's less (and even just rain), quality get's wonky. Today not "can't put into a family-album"-wonky but more like "won't make a magazine cover or desktop background or simple posterprint"-wonky.

Which is perfectly fine for everyone of course, but given that you have to buy high-end (my very own 150$ Android One device has no such camera) and a central theme of this high-end innovation is that you buy a new device every 2 years (nowadays mainly advertised through the camera) and then throw the old one away, I just decided to buy a small ILC (EOS M10 on sale) and use that for taking pictures until the shutter dies (at times where my main camera is too big (and thus most would use a mobile)). Works fine for me and with 12mm/2 and 22mm/2 lenses I can (the 2010ish sensor notwithstanding) still only grin at the nightmode of the newest iPhone or the star mode of Google...
