Assuming it is even possible to remotely recover? From the description it doesn't sound like it ever completes startup, and there's no USB port, so I'm not quite sure how local recovery would work?

Keep in mind this is a 2015 BluRay player, so outside a class action I doubt Samsung will do anything and just act like they all just coincidentally failed.

These players do have a "Hold Eject for 5 seconds" factory reset mode, but it doesn't appear to re-flash the factory firmware, only clear the settings.
You don't move to the city until you have the job (or are already the wealth to do so).

---

It's anecdotal, but a few of my team members have been making moves out of Seattle. I can only imagine the life they can live in other cities on a Seattle-salary.

Nearly everyone I know on my team moved to Seattle for work. I'd say less than 5% are "from" Seattle.

Fresh out of college, I moved from Lubbock (small town) to Dallas (big city), again, for work. Moved from Dallas to Seattle, again, for the job not "for Seattle"
Seriously. I swear people are using it for baby name choice.

Though I wonder if some version of optimization was done in the past? At the top of the attendance list, I always got called on first....
I was complaining ten years ago too. Time doesn't make problems magically go away.

But, it's also becoming more and more critical as phones take an increasingly central roll in our lives.
Politically, I'm a bit anarchistic, so I totally get this. It feels like sometimes you need shit to start flying before change happens. Look at the talk on M4A since the virus started and I think we've gotten more accomplished for civil rights in 3 weeks than 40 years after the George Floyd murder. (Still we're less than 10% of where we need to be though to wrap that up).
The really dense strips would be coincidence (those are from recent launches, the satellites in them are slowly spreading apart until they look like all the other satellites). There is always a generally high concentration of satellites at the northern and southern end of the range as a result of orbital mechanics though.
This is a problem for both the people who are and are not interested in participating in extreme behavior.

Those who are will more likely have a false sense of lower risk than their actions would subject them to. Those who aren't might be scared away by a larger value than they would actually be subject to.

This could even become a self fulfilling prophecy where activities with high average micromorts will only attract people more willing to engage in risky behavior, thus inflating the tail of extreme behavior that causes most of the mortality, increasing the activity's average micromorts over time.
Companies have certainly complained, loudly and in a sustained fashion, about dealing with certain brick-and-mortar stores over the years.

(Apple is in a frustratingly unique position compared to Walmart, Target, Best Buy, et. al., of course, in that the App Store is the way to get applications onto iPhones.)
I regret not taking pieces like this more seriously before attending grad school.
It's not different, both are price discrimination. If they cut the price for the expensive products' apps, they'll have to raise it for the inexpensive products' apps. If the inexpensive products can't afford it, they won't have an app.
Apple deliberately cripples PWAs on their devices for exactly this reason. I get it, but I hate them for it.
You still hit the same problem, and fraud is more costly to you with a bank account, with fees and potential bounced payments.

This is the second time in less than a day that you've broken HN's guideline against accusations of shillage, astroturfing, etc. It says this:

Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email us and we'll look at the data.

That rule is in place for good reason: the overwhelming majority of such accusations are pure imagination, which makes them poison. It's also a cheap, aggressive internet tactic, which makes it ubiquitous. Cheap ubiquitous poison is an environmental hazard, especially on a site which is trying to deviate from internet default, so it needs to be regulated. This rule is how we do that here. There is plenty of past explanation at https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... for anyone who wants it.

Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules from now on.

Maybe you are happy with one of the 2 shitty choices, but there might be people that would prefer to not be forced to chose what shit taste better, it is live you live in place and you have only 2 drinking water choices, both contain different poisons but you have a choice, why should people complain and try to fix a bad situation when you could chose your poison? I seen lots complaining that there is not enough competiotion in X or Y market (like mobile or ISPs ) but Apple fans don't want more competition on the iOS, you wouild thinkt he average Apple user would have been already scammed 100 times on their Macbooks because of the missing walls , this is how hard the security excuse is mentioned.

On top of this. Understanding the difference between acceptance, and being 'non-racist' vs being 'anti-racist' - which is what the movement needs more than anything. True allies are embracing the 'anti-racist' term and shutting down every symbol of racism. Look at the rebranding of Mrs. Butterworths, Aunt Jemima, Cream of Wheat, Uncle Ben.

Look at cities willing to remove Christopher Columbus statues, etc.. there's been a tectonic shift in public opinion, maybe unlike anything we've ever seen. I'm proud to see so many people of all colors marching together for the BlackLivesMatter movement, gives me hope in humanity.
They certainly have a monopoly on "distributing software to iPhones." I don't get why no one makes this point. One could argue it's a monopoly they've earned. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But certainly there is a market for iPhone app distribution, and Apple has a monopoly in that market.

I've dropped the Senate and House pages from our website for now until we have concrete data. Once we start building out our analysis, it will be transparent and open.

I've added a link to our GitHub organization in the footer of the website under "Open By Design".
The fourth bullet point is the most egregious to me. These policies are so overbearing that they're actually untenable, but Apple just gets around that by arbitrarily giving exceptions to companies that are big enough to affect their bottom line.
In theory, yes. In practice, not publishing a game on Steam will also alienate you from a large amount of potential customers. We're only starting to see change recently. But I understand your point and agree in principle. What's your opinion on consoles, though?
You're right. But they are a lot easier to build correctly the first time if you understand the math beneath them.
It depends on what you mean by right category. It is true that vector spaces identify certain constructs that linear logic distinguishes, but it doesn't identify everything so it still has some interesting content. Finding models that don't make unnecessary identifications is one of main lines of research in the field.
I think there are two factors.

One is the standard big company political issues thing. Bad products are sustained, good ones killed because the bad one happened to have a manager who couldn't listen or see clearly, and had some political credibility while the good one lacked political strength. This is simply one of the pathologies of big organizations. (even the best large organizations suffer seriously from this problem, and I doubt many would consider google to be particularly well run. They have a huge gusher of money flowing their way even if everybody went home for a week, so have no competitive pressure to improve on that dimension).

This interlocks with the second factor. 87% of their revenue comes from one source and that source is very large. So you could start a new project, generate some revenue, but if it isn't on a growth trajectory that would move that 87% down, well, is it really worth investing in? I believe this is why Nest was brought onto Google's balance sheet: it contributes something around a percent or so to google's revenue, which helped push that number down slightly.

By contrast, look at Apple which has a (slightly) diversified set of products; they continue to invest in macs and ipads which don't constitute a huge percentage of revenue (though they'd be F200 or F100 businesses were they on their own). Apple is so secretive, even internally, you'd think they were worse run than google but somehow it works. Perhaps that secrecy makes the internal fighting harder as only a small number of people who know each other well end up seeing the big picture? I haven't the faintest idea.
Once that happens, the world will change :)
Off topic but okay, let’s specify Definitive Edition.
I'm on such a BTRFS kick right now that I reflexively up voted. Oops. Cool project though; I regret nothing!
I know this list focuses primarily on account-based apps but I would argue strongly that most pay-to-play games fall into this category.

“Buying” a game for $0.99 that has repeatable in-app purchases in the hundreds or thousands is not “working” if you ask me. I would love to return to the days where games are “complete” at the time you buy them, with essentially no option to buy gems to make it actually work reasonably.

I know quite a few people on Steam who simply refuse to but any games on any platforms other than Steam. Steam isn't an exclusive choice, but there's a nontrivial number of gamers who are loyal to Steam to the point of refusing to purchase anything that isn't available on Steam.

I personally have platforms I simply will not use (or refuse to spend money on directly, like EA's Origin, where I only own/care about C&C) regardless how good of a deal it is.
Could these be applied to sharks?

The article didn't have more details on it but it seems like EY didn't sign off on accounts after KPMG report indicated fraud. Shouldn't the blame lie on EY as well, as they failed in their job as an auditor, shouldn't they have been the ones to found as they had all the internal info while auditing.
It can be for more than one reason
I'm sorry you feel this way. It's a side project that has taken considerable effort so far. It's being done in good faith.

I've added a link to our GitHub organization to the footer, all contributions are under my personal account. My HN handle is the same as my social media handles across the board (though some are l33t-ified depending on the availability of the handle).

I hope that, as we get further down this path and have more substance, we can demonstrate more transparency and earn more trust. Yesterday's launch validated the idea is worth iterating on for us, we intend to keep learning and pushing forward.
So there's one trick that's kind of cool using PNG images (with transparency) for your tiles. You can have parts of the image that actually extend out of the tile. So a tree can extend off the top of the tile in a pseudo-isometric style. Or a castle, or a mountain, or anything.
I genuinely believe most of the entrepreneurs who "make a dent" went in with the best of intentions. I sort of feel that once the wrong investors get involved (or the entrepreneur gets sucked into bad terms) the whole thing (from an outsider's perspective) starts looking more like a ponzi scheme than a traditional business that creates real value for consumers.
This seems even bigger:

> Recommends Commission to work on harmonising the national personal identification sign-ins with a view to creating a single Union sign-in system in order to ensure the protection of personal data and age verification, especially for children

While the intent is good there would be very perverse consequences to a mandatory EU-wide sign-in system. Hopefully this will be acknowledged in advance, and some form of distributed / anonymous system used for the purpose of protecting privacy, not just put the data in the hands of a central entity.
I honestly think they could turn it around and allow underdogs.

everybody roots for david vs goliath, but the story would change if goliath was actually defending the little guy.

maybe make in-app purchases cheaper for smaller apps.

or do something to take small reasonable developers under their wing. like first year 10%.

Another thing they could do, sort of the opposite, is to take 30% for smaller apps, but have a published scale as volume increases. presumably with scale apples costs would amortize, and developers would be in for the long haul.

They could also maintain 30% if a particular app has lots of chargebacks, like you would have with abusive apps.
I feel like this article tries a little too hard to make the SCP protocol sound weird. It’s just using SSH as a transport layer, which is not really unusual at all. Perhaps there are some security issues but IIRC Git for example does basically the same exact thing to use SSH as a transport layer, calling git-receive-pack on the remote. I’d be surprised if Rsync wasn’t the same.
Make it dishwasher safe and you’ve got something here.
I hope it will still allow me to opt in. If I'm going to see ads I'd prefer that they were more nearly relevant to me.
Alternatively you can now use a (properly spec'ed) USB-C cable to turn your Quest into a native desktop-powered headset (search for Oculus Link). I've used it recently to play Alyx and I realized I had clearly forgotten how awesome a proper graphics card can be (paired with high quality content), it's really quite incredible.
Actually I wonder if its not already possible to implement it since it has had levels of universes for quite a while. Is that, with dependent types, not powerful enough?
Doing nothing.

We've been indoctrinated from an early age to be productive, to schedule every moment, to sacrifice sleep, to always be learning, building, networking, searching and improving.

The covid19 lockdown is showing many people the benefits of disconnecting, de-scheduling, refusing or ignoring invitations, and being still with our thoughts for hours or days at a time, producing nothing of tangible economic value.

The host is required only to "assist" the authorities so I don't think they'd be liable for that. The encryption process was under your control and short of disabling your internet access or cracking your machine there's nothing they can do about it. If they encrypted your email themselves on your behalf and threw the key away so that authorities couldn't get to it, they might be liable.

Now that I think about it, sending malicious updates to a router might be one way they could be required to assist the authorities in their quest for lawful access...
Webapps, period. (I agree that resource heavy games are the exception; given that I consider music production a form of play, the difference is fleeting, incidently consoles are famous in this space, too; contrast that with your basic map, analogue to sheet music, lol).

No, I don't want to install your lousy app that's only a front-end to your web service anyway. Of course it gives you more control and opportunity for certain features. This only means that web browsers still have a long way to go. If apps were reasonably small, maybe I could install more of them, but as it is, it's just impossible.

Either way the back-end providers profit.

You download the app and it hints that you can sign up, but doesn't have a button or link to do so. How frustrating!

This is the sort of crappy user experience that Steve Jobs would have railed against. No doubt that he would accept, say, Netflix getting a discount off the standard 30%, but there's no way he would have accepted the status quo where (a) Netflix has a deliberately poor user experience on iOS to workaround Apples rules; (b) Apple gets zero revenue from Netflix.

When everyone uses chart.js or bokeh or matplotlib, you don't really see graphs that go out of the normal range of visualizations supported by these libraries. In a way the ability to use generic code hampers creativity because it's easy to find a "good enough solution" to your problems.

I have repeatedly found Meet much higher quality than Zoom - straightforward to launch from the browser with a single click, clearer settings, better video quality, and no scummy installed app practices.

That might be because of my location or some other factor, but I really don't understand why people find Zoom so much better - it doesn't match my experience at all.
That's about as much support for Google as if I bought a product from a storefront that's in a building owned by a landlord who supports a cause I don't agree with. First of all, I (as a consumer) would have no idea who owned that building, and secondly the link between my purchase and money flowing to that unsavory cause is so far removed that it's not even worth considering.

Go far enough down any business transaction and you'll find a cause you disagree with. If the tree you planted makes oxygen for your worst enemy, will you cut down the tree to spite them?

The real WTF is that Linux is the least secure desktop OS of 2020, still lacking the basic code signing and sandboxing features that Windows and macOS have.
With centralized sign-in you could greatly restrict someone's access to the internet by freezing just that one account. You could effectively disappear someone from public forums with a single order. It becomes less of a privacy service and more a cudgel to force compliance. Is that a bug or a feature to the Commission?
Who are you talking about? Floyd? Was he being arrested at that moment for beating someone? Is beating someone a capital crime? Are the police allowed to execute prisoners? Did the police know he was a "bad guy" when they were killing him slowly?

Oooh, nice.

I have worked with hexes in little side project games, it was a difficult process and I went through a phase of trying to home-roll canvas drawing of hexes (and making some interesting looking bugs). I ended up using a js library (Konva / https://konvajs.org/) which was pretty easy to implement.

One completed (albeit ugly) project was an implementation of a minigame I played in Magnum Opus:

https://game.manfrincdn.com/#/

It's been a little project kicking around that I want to make a hex game engine of sorts in Vue. The difficult part I keep running in to is connecting the state of the engine (in vue) with the state of the canvas (outside). I've ended up often hitting lower level APIs to watch/update/rerender parts, but at that point I feel like I end up reimplementing parts of vue within itself, and that nagging 'you are missing an obvious solution' worm starts up.

A pure CSS approach would make this a lot simpler, because there'd be no need to do any manual wiring up of state to canvas state, you'd just let vue handle that cycle because that's its core competency.
