My experience on the phone differs from yours. My customizations (low salt diet or other health requirements) are ignored or done incorrectly or misunderstood due to my accent or just background noise; I have to repeat the credit card twice since it was mis-keyed; I can't save my favorites as different people pick up the phone, so starting from scratch each time. And when I pick up my order, I discover only too late what's missing and have to decipher a scrawled notepad stapled to a bag to see if it was even listed.

I agree, onboarding on these apps is miserable. But the benefits of a digital order, when done correctly, can really be better for some consumer cases than the voice call.
Moved company to Singapore to pay less taxes while pushing for Brexit because UK's lost sovereignty and the "EU tax". Good vacuums but he's a douche.
I have brought up the same worry in similar threads. I think it's a given that once this sort of thing is accepted it will be implemented more broadly for our safety.
One must treat all imaging systems with care. A small case goes a long way to slow down the scratching-death of phone cameras.
Totally agree that everyone notices the difference. I sync all of my α6600 photos to my iCloud library, and just scrolling through my photos to look for something to show a friend, they always comment, "You took these on your phone!?"

Even at small sizes, the difference in dynamic range is insane, which makes a huge difference when photographing people indoors in particular. And of course when you look at the photo full size, the terrible watercolor effects on cell phone photos can't be ignored.

By the way, you should get the Sigma 56mm f1.4 for your Sony; that's the lens of mine that most makes people's jaws drop.
> Weirdness can be cool now. Showing an interest in anything other than the mainstream interests used to result in terrible teasing.

Weirdness almost by definition can't be cool. Or at least not actual weirdness. In the 50's a leather jacket and a motorbike made you 'weird' to the old folks, but incredibly cool to teenagers. Same goes nowadays, only the details differ.
It's kinda funny and sad that the reaction to "these companies shouldn't try to solve everything with software and invest in actual customer support infrastructure" is "but it's sooo hard to find engineers to solve all this automatically!". Which is exactly the point the parent comment made.
Interesting thought.

I think the weirdos today look a little different than the classic stereotype. Being a geek/nerd actually became cool. In the 90's, it really was only the weirdos who were into programming and computers. Coming out of the closet used to be very risky. Not just socially, but you opened yourself up to real physical danger. It took a lot of guts to be honest with yourself and openly be who you were. Now, being gay is fashionable.

Look that the things that aren't considered cool to do/say/think today and you'll find the weirdos. I think they make our world richer.
> but oddly seldom explicitly stated

In democratic societies, law enforcement usually has no right to run "criminal discovery" processes like those. That's why they don't cite their intentions, because it's illegal (more often than not, a crime).

Notice that limits on crime policing are a very important factor on maintaining a democracy.
Do you really think the cops see a distinction? If so, I encourage you to watch any of the dozens of videos of cops attacking people that have come out over the past 72 hours.

Cop brain is very simple: You wither listen to the cop or you are a criminal. There are no shades of grey, and the US police have demonstrated this across the country this weekend.
Lol, you don't need to be so combative.

It used to be my daily driver laptop.

And yes.

The touchpad, wifi, bluetooth and the GPU (intel) works perfectly.

Well he's never called someone a pedo on Twitter at least.
One way of looking at this is from an accounting perspective:

Printing money is tantamount to debt (== liability). If there's sufficient corresponding economic value and future economic growth (== asset) on the other hand such debt isn't necessarily a problem.

The money "printed" right now to counter the effects of the current economic crisis essentially is a bet on the future. If that money is invested appropriately and intelligently this investment will stimulate future economic growth, which in turn can be used to offset debt (for example via future tax revenues).

Haphazardly expanding the amount of money available to the economy without a proper strategy. however, usually leads to inflation and poverty and the economy not being able to keep up with the devaluation of the currency anymore.
> Sending pics home from a dslr? I hope you got your notebook with you and 1-2 hours in your hotelroom. I'm already done on the phone...

not sure if you ever had a modern camera (e.g. <5 y.o.), but with my Canons the hotel room is still nice (because somehow most cams don't spit out 2MB 24megapixel images strangely), yet sharing is supereasy with an android phone. start the app, hit the transfee button on the cam, do a NFC-bump, download. Granted this is not suuper fast (mainly because the images are large and getting 20MB+ transfer on portable device Wifi is a quite recent thing), but it works as convenient as 2 devices not mandatorily linked will work togetherm

It depends on the market.

I built an app that helps people have a better gaming experience and my domain is basically just the best Google Trends keywords concatenated. I immediately had 500 monthly unique visitors just from Google organic search.

But launching a bikini brand, for example, took lots of advertisement and social media presence and sales dropped as soon as we stopped paying everyone for ads.

Formula for Love: How Long Should You Wait to Text Back?
I see this phenomenon as similar to the noble lie, except that it's to avoid personal trouble as opposed to some other altruistic reason.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_lie

I've told my share of personal noble lies because many people can't let go of irrational causes behind my actions. In order for them to easily accept my eccentricities, I have to provide a rationale, even though I'm well aware that many of the thing that I do are not motivated by reason but instead my unconscious.

There's more minor reason that I tell personal noble lies, which is that if someone asks me why I do X thing, and I actually tell them the truth, said truth is usually ridiculously simple, in which case they think that I'm blowing them off. In these cases, it's better for interpersonal relations for me to have either a canned story , or make something up on the fly, that's more interesting than the real one.

The first example that comes to mind is my father, whom is a great man in my eyes but, if we haven't talked in a while, he will ask me "What do you eat these days?" Depending on whether I'm trying to lose weight, I may have literally no rhyme or reason behind my eating habits. Often times, I couldn't tell you what it is that I tend to eat or have eaten. If I told my father "I don't know. I eat lots of things and don't think about it much.", I can tell that he interprets that as me trying to end the discussion. In that case, I don't necessarily make up a total lie, but I will try and remember the things I ate in the last few days and then speak like those are the things that I eat all the time, and I might even say something like "I eat the steak and eggs a lot because I'm trying to build some muscle."

Another example has to do with my mode of dress. Anyone who knows me knows that I wear the exact same outfit 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I wear a black t-shirt that's well fitting, jeans, and dress shoes. This is a bit of a strange outfit to some, and the dress shoes are funny to most people. The real reason that I dress this way is that I don't want to waste time and brain power deciding what to wear and in what combination; I don't care what I look like so long as what I look like is acceptable and fits my self image. This is not a satisfactory answer to most people, in my experience, and I suspect it's because they simply don't relate. The average person doesn't see the value in removing unnecessary choice from their daily routine, and their choice to wear a particular garment may indeed be necessary to them. So what I tell them is that I like to wear black because it doesn't stain, and I wear the dress shoes because they happen to be very water resistant when I step through puddles.
As someone who does know a lot about photography, I can tell you that you sure can give off an impression of knowing a lot about photography.
Fully laden cost, cancer treatment etc, its cheaper but consumers and governments don't think like that. We will continue to treat cancer with socialism and car exhaust with capitalism but some day I hope they converge.
I, personal opinion, trust the traditional media outlets of broadcast and print (despite some disagreement from some politicians) because there is an ethical standard they challenge each other to uphold. What I don’t trust as a news source is social media where there is no such standard. News from social media just feels like bad gossip.
The last (and only) Steinbeck I read was Grapes of Wrath in high school and 17 year old me thought it was okay.

Employees in shops. One reason I moved into a big city is to be able to do grocery shopping on a Sunday morning.
The US is way too deep in the corona mess to do anything like that. What would help is widespread, easy access to tests (including a moratorium on ICE enforcement and no "paper records" requirement so that also illegalized persons get tested instead of being an unknown harbor!) and especially daily tests for at-risk personnel (medical, public transport, supermarket staff and inmates of prisons, jails and health/elderly care institutions).

Well, that's the point. Give them a grill and the shoulder won't be cold any more.
In this instance, probably /r/politics or some similar echo chamber.
Two points not discussed here:

- Startup time. It takes less than half a second from a cold start for my Canon to start shooting at 14fps, but my iPhone 11 Pro often tales 5-10s to open the camera app for some reason, plus more time for it to realize I am holding the shutter for burst and not tapping for single shooting.

- Autofocus time. My Canon can track moving subjects with autofocus and keep them in focus on almost any vector (I mainly shoot surf photos where my subject is traveling both towards and perpendicular to me), whereas my iPhone struggles to keep a stationary subject in focus even in direct sunlight.
Given the transition period is to end in January 2021, very likely with "no deal" given the current chatter coming out of London and Brussels, the GDPR will only be in force for another few months. I very much doubt the "Vote Leave" gang will want to replace it with a UK equivalent with the same teeth.
This looks tremendously useful; it's easy to imagine its adoption taking off given the obvious benefits over traditional spreadsheets. Thanks for sharing! And good luck! :)
I agree with this, there is no substitute for a "real" camera.

However, I usually only have my phone on me, so, I decided to make that into a novelty selling point for my online store: https://finerpixels.com

The whole point is that I use a phone because the lower quality sensor adds a unique painting-like quality if you look close enough.

I've made several large prints from phone photos and they look really aesthetic in fact. But it still takes an eye to get it right.
As someone who was a bit of a weird kid, I definitely think it's easier to be a weirdo today. The main reason being: I can find my fellow weirdos.

When I was at school and my peers made fun of me for my even slightly esoteric interests I felt alone. I didn't know anyone else who liked the same things that I did; or at least not to the same, occasionally obsessive, degree. It was hard.

Now that the internet exists and is popular: I can find my people. There's probably a forum or subreddit for pretty much any niche I could care to infatuate myself with, and there's creators on YouTube making fantastically long and detailed videos on the minutiae of every subject under the sun.

I don't feel alone any more :)
> he realised he couldn't make a product that will disrupt the market at a reasonable price

Dyson's whole lifelong strategy is to disrupt the product and the price. When his vacuum cleaner came out the price was astronomically expensive. People were dumfounded - who would pay so much? But the product was better and people accepted the new price. It still seems high today but it was so successful it somewhat permanently moved the needle on what people think was reasonable.

He also tried this with: fans, washing machines, hair dryers, hand dryers. Some less successful, but an unexpectedly or apparently unreasonably high price is probably deliberately part of his approach.

> The last straw was when the iPhone got portrait mode and could render bokeh/blur like lens physics.

Have you looked at real "portrait mode" photos? They only really resemble narrow depth of field at thumbnail sizes, but as soon as you open them fullscreen, all of the mistakes jump out and make it look like a terrible Photoshop job. I'm sure it will get better, but I certainly wouldn't say it's anywhere near the last straw yet.
The US is less of a United Monolith and more of a Spaghetticoded States of America. Look out world, we're agile!
That's a legitimate concern, but I think the German app is designed so that the government does not get the contact data.

Here's how I understand the system:

Your phone saves the ID numbers of the phones it's come into close contact with. The IDs are randomly generated, so they don't contain any information about the person carrying the phone. When someone tests positive for the virus, they can transmit their ID to a central server, which then broadcasts that ID to everyone with the app. The app checks that ID against its local list of contacts.
Absolutely. When the PM had to explain to China that our judicial system operates independently from government (as it relates to the Huawei exec's extradition to the US), it was funny and sad at the same time.
Actually it makes a huge difference.

"Legal segregation never went away"

Now, college students want enforced segregation.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/red-alert-politics/more-t...

This isn't due to racism, this is due to the African American student body wanting separate ceremonies. In addition to this, many of the demands of BLM and protesters on campus want 'safe spaces' where no whites are allowed.

It seems strange to me that one group of people is allowed to do this without it being considered racist, when it clearly fits the definition.

"Nikole Hannah-Jones's 1619 Project"

I attempted to read through some of the articles. Most are completely inaccurate and biased and try to inject race into every single decision of our founding fathers. it only serves to divide us as a nation.

Many people forget that we fought a war over slavery and hundreds of thousands of non-black Americans fought and died to free the slaves. The confederate army was also much smaller than the union, which should show you that the majority of the people in this country, even then, didn't support slavery.

Sure, racism still exists (and it probably always will). But it's not at the government level anymore or widely accepted.

The US is one of the least racist countries in the world. If you go anywhere else in the world, especially when it comes to getting a job/employment, racism is not only accepted, but part of the hiring process.
Hmm, can I do that in Google Camera? I can't find the option.
I would love first class hardware for Linux, specifically Ubuntu. This may just be a feeling, but too often do I feel like there is additional configuration that has to occur to get Ubuntu working on a repurposed laptop. There also seems to be a trade off of battery life — the same hardware platform lasts 4-6 hours running Ubuntu and 10-12 running windows. I know I can further configure the OS to get similar performance but therein lies the desire.

I get a great consumer experience when I purchase a MacBook or (some) windows laptops and I don’t have to worry about that configuration step.

It’s about time Ubuntu and other Linux distos are able to offer that same “ready to use” experience that I’m describing.

P.S. That said, it is worth pointing out that executing that configuration step is highly educational and, sometimes, pretty fun.
Any idea what his issue is? Did he get kicked off of HN or something?
So some important notes here:

* PAE is technically enabled on most machines, but only for side effects like DEP, and there's a software lock on using more than 4GB memory.

* Via either spending lots of money or patching some files, you can get a 32-bit version of windows to use 64GB of memory. As long as your drivers don't explode.

* "4GB virtual address space" is a bit misleading. A normal 32-bit process can only use 2GB on 32-bit windows. (or 3GB if you change some settings)
The upper part of the address space has to be reserved for the kernel. If you want the entire 4GB for your process, you have to run it on 64-bit windows.

As long as you can make it work, getting windows to recognize more memory despite per-process caps is a massive improvement and "limited to 4GB RAM" really undersells it.

Protest is an effective means of political participation. I mean that literally, not ideologically. Protest gives society a channel for communicating political grievance. It leads to organized political activism. It gets people elected and others kicked out of office. It also communicates to people in power, often isolated from the concerns of the grassroots, what the grassroots cares about. Don't underestimate this last bit. In countries where there is no right to protest and no free media, the elite in power literally have no clue what problems ordinary people are facing. Total "let them eat cake" situations.

Hey, I agree with you. I was just trying to give context on what’s happening, without passing judgement or inflections my opinion.

I guess I would rephrase it as “it’s not a totally unreasonable argument”, i.e. you can understand why it would be persuasive to small c conservatives and libertarians who would otherwise be pro-any-policy-that-attracts-business.

It depends on whether you see access to high bandwidth internet as a public utility or not. Arguably it is, because the economics of it don’t make usually make sense for private companies unless that private company is a monopoly.

Well said internet stranger. I'm not American so I may miss some vital context but it really seems this protest has, at least execution, some parallels with the French yellow Vest Protest. The content of the protests could not be further apart but your observation, in the sense that this American protest is the resultant course of a long smoldering grievance, is apt. The situation is not helped by the American president being so cavalier about abusing the powers of the state. A dictator is like an angel compared to a democratically elected despot. Reminds me of a certain Indira and her son.

In some democratic countries and my own, the military is a respected, even hallowed institution. We never hear anything about them except the rare event some lose their lives in some UN mission or they have the rare parade in memorial events. No politician in his right mind would even utter, in the slightest, the deployment of the military for internal strife. Not even as a joke. So we trust our democracy as valid, imperfect, but in the best interests of the people.

But in the end, the American issue does strike one as strange. A people who believe themselves - self-proclaimed leaders of the free world - must surely ponder why they are at a junction such as this. The solution is simple as all hell and yet, here we are.
That's not how HUMINT works. Most likely an acquaintance, friend or co-worker would be the one that actually collects the information from you.

To be fair, if hardware really only worked with a specific version of the Linux kernel, that wouldn't exactly scream quality either. You'd be stuck without being able to update for security or for any new hardware support.

As a troubleshooting step, trying with the specific kernel version that was used for the certification might of course work.
