Yea, some people have rose-tinted glasses when it comes to Apple.

I downloaded a simple HIIT (high-intensity interval training) timer app the other day. It's just a glorified stop timer that automatically pauses at intervals so you can do exercise-rest cycles.

I settled for the second or third most popular alternative since it was the first one that didn't have a HIIT-timer-as-a-service business model (WTF... no, I don't want to create an account for a timer app).

Still a disgusting experience. Before you start an exercise there's an obnoxious 10-second video ad playing at full blast. The interface is atrocious, too.

The app was free, so I can't complain on that front, I guess. I would pay $3-$6 flat for something like this, but herein lies the problem: I can't even find such an alternative. The results in the app store search were filled with garbage (SaaS as I mentioned, irrelevant crap, bloated "fitness assistant" apps, etc.)

I could definitely conceive this app being built as a PWA and being 100x better than many of those. For this use case I couldn't care less about PWA vs. native, both could work if done well; the point is that I really don't see what Apple's supposedly strict standards have done to protect my user experience from greedy, incompetent or careless designers and developers.
> Perhaps qubits could be constructed in the same way fuzzy bits are -- use a device which writes multiple pieces of data at a higher resolution -- then measure that data with a device that reads at a lower resolution.

If I understand, you mean all that in order to achieve quantum computing cheaper. As far as I know, the effects used and needed in quantum computing aren't just "randomness" of reading something but much more. The physicists do attempt to achieve the "quantum simulation" effects as cheaply as possible, and until now they had to depend on complex setups:

"These quantum devices can be implemented in a large number of ways, for example, using ultracold trapped ions6,7,8,9,10,11 cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED),12,13,14,15 photonic circuits,16,17,18 silicon quantum dots,19,20,21 and theoretically even by braiding, as yet unobserved, exotic collective excitations called non-abelian anyons.22,23,24 One of the most promising approaches is using superconducting circuits,25,26,27"

One example:

https://www.nature.com/articles/nphys2253

It doesn't appear to me that the "unreliable bits" read from the magnetic medium could be enough. (Disclaimer: not in that field.) It's however always interesting to learn more while trying to make some idea work.
That's awfully complicated, compared to systems with backup printers.
Haskell vs. Go vs. OCaml vs. (2018)
So you say most of the users can't utilize freedom to change program. Neither coding, not testing, not money, not individually, not collectively.

In other words - they take someones else work for free and give nothing back. And then they complain about quality.

Yes. I believe this is the ideal way to post because it gives other people the pleasure of replying to you. It's a community service.

One of the most egregious incidents of proven voting fraud in recent American history may have been by Leslie McCrae, a hired political operative: https://www.npr.org/2019/07/30/746800630/north-carolina-gop-... He exploited the absentee (mail-in) ballot system.

OTOH, he was caught precisely because to exploit the system he had to directly or indirectly expose himself to many people in the county--the people whose absentee ballots he was fraudulently collecting. Eventually someone put 2+2 together and the scheme was discovered.

OTOOH, apparently he had been doing it for many years before he got caught.

> What’s the actual point for the license in the first place?

The electromagnetic spectrum is a limited resource; an amateur radio license is a license to do certain kinds of experiments in the spectrum. The kind of activity that makes up these experiments when done by someone who doesn't know what they're doing has the potential to cause harm which is hugely disproportionate to the amount of effort it would take to do it. While it's possible to pinpoint individual offenders, if unlicensed activity was widespread then the ability to do so would be overwhelmed.
More design oversight than engineering oversight.
Is Korean “mandu” (만두) listed under some other name? Can’t spot it in the dataset.
Ask HN: What's your process for reselling your used hardware?
I figure that the HN crowd has a large amount of hardware that it cycles through. How/where do you sell it? I'm looking for something painless where I don't have to spend a lot of time vetting the buyer or convincing the buyer that I am a legitimate seller.
We are suggesting that because it makes sense! :)
YouTube cannot "opt-in". That's not what "opt-in" means.
Do you have research that $.1 winnings motivate instead of just disappointing people?
First of all, I just want to empasize there exist kinda three layers: data -> presentation -> decoration. HTML still acting as a presentation, but in SPA it also acts as a decoration together with CSS. Secondly, we need to find what the data is. Because often the data is on the server database, while everything else is transmitting and caching the original data.

>In my current SaaS product, if we were doing SSR instead of client side rendering, our hosting costs would be through the roof right now

It's good you mentioned your product instead of generalizing implicitly. Because SSR in some cases allows you to prerender pages and host them statically, thus significantly reducing server CPU and RAM load, and also making page loading time very fast.

>Plus, using service workers, it can work offline, which is not really possible with SSR

Similar scenario is possible with SSR, allowing for completely offline operation. SSR implementations usually require scripts to be run on the client side, and also allow for defining explicitly server-side-only and client-side-only scripts, including full transition into kind of SPA for specific pages, as well as a full SSR prerendering with dead-static content on both server and client. And gzip can help to reduce the bandwidth required.
How did you get to the conclusion that all physical world is computable?

That’s not the conclusion, that’s the whole thesis. The whole point of it is that yes, it’s not provable, but so far we haven’t seen anything to suggest the contrary. All of our current physical theories are very much computable, for example.
So, the mistakes algorithms make are different to the mistakes humans make?

That’s... equivocation.

Both humans and ML algorithms are flexible. That is the point of “learning”.

Adaptation.
Here's a cynical view: a human is cheaper to "develop" and "program" than a fully automated production plant in most third world.

> You're right that the Open Source Definition doesn't define the term "open source" - usage does. But common usage of "open source" still means "something that meets the open source definition", not "I can see the source code". There are some people who use a different definition, but it's a long way from being well accepted.

True, it'd be interesting if someone did some sort of study on that though, and get some real numbers. I have the impression that people know less and less what the open source definition even is, so maybe this has started to shift in the last few years? I have a feeling, to younger developers, open source means often (in practice): I can see the code, and I can use it without having to pay...
> Raspberry Pi is way underpowered to run any SaaS on.

Now there's a sentence that triggered a lot of anecdotes to prove the contrary lol!

I gather that while it is indeed possible, I have my doubts as to how practical or economic it might be. Anyone willing to accept the challenge? ;)
C++ has standard support for chronological measurements and there is an effort to extend this to other units for C++23. Compile time or runtime.
Stating that it has yet to be done is a fact --- and facts are not ignorance
This is also how I use Urban Dictionary. Removing words that are in use would not do much to fight racism, but it would degrade the quality of the dictionary.

On the other hand, some definitions ought to be reviewed to take the racist edge off it. Many definitions are half definition, half rant against something.
Lol clearly salty at not being at Google and comments about the "culture". Stick to Amazon where people don't get pee breaks or cry due to pressure or get fired for speaking their mind.
There are amateur radio activities that don't necessarily fit into the "session" scope that are still interesting. For example, there is the AMPRNet [1], a TCP/IP over AX.25 block of the Internet on 44.0.0.0/8. There is a similar effort called Hamwan with its Puget Sound Data Ring [2].

What if only the camera is allowed to shut itself down and never responds to such requests if they happen weithin the first one second after it has been powered on
Nice! Looking forward to it.

The bundling of 1980's synth music is also nice. Why I find synthwave so alluring, perhaps it promotes nostalgia which chronologically depicts times that are most farther than the horrors of the 1940's and the troubled times of present day 2020.
They even had (almost) this feature and disabled it, right? Originally, your Dropbox folder came with a Public folder which had content accessible (directly) from the web. You could host your website there. Some time later they found people are hosting their websites there which costs them bandwidth, and removed this ability. (Now you can share individual files using special links.)
> as long as the voter then manually takes this piece of paper, verifies that it says what he thinks it should say,

You can make a system that allows the voter to do that but how many actually will?
I can somewhat understand why they decided to do the total rewrite, but to my mind it still suffers from all the things described in Spolsky's "Things-You-Should-Never-Do": A standstill on the old version for a very long time (actually that already preceeded the rewrite somwhat, though the latter certainly didn't help in that regard), lots of missing features in the new version (each of which might – mostly – only be a small feature when viewed individually, but taken together it's still a noticeable bit that's currently missing), and of course a number of bugs introduced through the rewrite that need to be ironed out once again (occasionally quite literally "once again").
UV light in conjunction with a Hepa filter would be very effective.
Speaking for France, but I suspect it is the same elsewhere: back in the day, the license exam was to build your own radio and operate it in front of an inspector, so it might be a remnant of that era. You also need to know this stuff to set up antennas.
If people don't know these ways they're worthless.
For all the pontificating about souls as a means to discredit OP's beliefs, you all seem to avoid this statement:

> Our only known good model for a machine that can create our consciousness is us. It took billions of years of the universe churning at random to accidentally generate us. We have no clue how to replicate that scale.

Would you please provide a counterargument? Do you understand how difficult this really is? We can't even comprehend the physical constraints.
I'll say this for the ARRL: it's more flexible than the NRA for cases where one's hobby is causing problems with the wider community.

Indeed it's over regulated- that you can't carry the internet over ham radio is one of the main reasons for its lack of popularity.

Can you imagine if hams and the ARRL held the first amendment in the same regard that the NRA holds the second amendment?
Because katsu means cutlet, a thin slice of meat. Tonkatsu for example is pork cutlet.
Yes, it is discrimination as the premise is that "merit" is inborn and fixed. So the fact that someone came in through affirmative action is trotted out as incontrovertible evidence that they are of inferior birth aka an inferior caste.
If you have the time to fix them asap you can follow this route:

- use spot or reserved instances or saving plans.
- have a look at compute optimizer
- understand aws networking costs are and try to optimise it (cross az and internet egress can be costly)
- go through the trusted advisor checks: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/technology/trusted-adv...

You can enable trusted adviser checks by enabling business or enterprise support.
- try using one of these cost optimisation tools: https://aws.amazon.com/products/management-tools/partner-sol...

- contact aws for well architected review

If you don't have the time, then I suggest contacting AWS to introduce you to a consulting partner. They can come and actually fix whatever is needed.
Imagine a similar device, embedded into tombstones and monuments, forever serving hotspots with content to remember to the dead, maybe even running their archived blog and content.
Apple is completely missing the point. Primary reason to cover cameras is to avoid anything being recorded by accident, not just to stop hackers RATing you. Now with everyone working remote this has become even more important as it's super easy to get into the video conference with wrong settings and end up in an embarrassing situation. Activity LED doesn't help with this, when you see it damage is already done and Youtube is full of zoom bloopers to prove this. Of course, preventing hackers accessing your camera is just an extra feature. So I'll keep my cover on regardless what Apple says. I use just a piece of regular paper so it's not entirely blocking the light, light sensors work just fine, and also it's very thin so laptop shuts down normally without any problems.
Noise is pretty bad in the city. You have to realize that you are going to be responding to other people's CQs, not calling your own. There is just too high a risk of the receiver being able to hear you, but you not being able to hear the reply.

I routinely operate out of my 1st floor apartment in Brooklyn with 5W into a magloop antenna and can make contacts across the country. I've had the best luck on 40m, and 30m works well too. 20m is pretty much unusable for me, and it's a popular band, so that kind of hurts. Using FT8 or CW works better than voice (par for the course when running QRP). If you take your rig out to a park, the noise floor drops dramatically.

You certainly have to make more of an effort than someone in the country with a 5 element beam on a tower, but you can still make a lot of QSOs in subpar conditions.

(Also worth noting is that we're at the bottom of a solar cycle, so HF isn't amazing for anyone right now. A few years ago, I could reliably listen to WWV and WWVH at the same time. But I haven't heard WWVH for ages. Aloha!)
Lorawan. You want lorawan.
At a startup I worked earlier, we tried two things that helped :
1. Reserved instances (you commit for a year and you can save 20% - charged monthly. AFAIK no upfront costs)

2. Like another reader suggested here, there are accelerators/foundations which give away $10k for the 1st year towards cloud usage. We were in healthcare and had a big chip company pay about $10k in credits for a year of AWS.
Depending on the domain you are in, there may be a few. If you let me know which domain you work in ( healthcare , media etc.) someone here might be able to point to the right resource
Honest question: What is an actual example of a disenfranchised voter, not articles that say "there will be disenfranchised voters"?
No, this is not related to bikeshedding, see your own link.
This seems irrelevant.

Neither humans nor ML make zero errors.

Ceteris paribus, if an ML algorithm makes fewer errors at a task which with low error tolerance - you would use the algorithm instead of the human, no?
The article says the virus is deactivated at 70C, so the air itself should probably get to 70C plus perhaps a safety margin.

Come to think of it, if you coupled that with a heat exchanger, the filtered air could pre-heat the incoming air and get cooled in the process. This way the filter would only have to transfer enough heat to make up for the inefficiency of the exchanger.

I'm not sure if this is feasible.
There is opportunity to be somewhere in the middle ground that can help lift the wealth of a 3rd world country. In the case of Malaysia, the country focused heavily on manufacturing for foreign entities but was structured as joint ventures with the goal to retain knowledge within the country. Many industrialised nations saw this as “protectionism” as capital flowing in without flow out as easily and you are bounded by many restrictions. However, for citizens within the country, quality of life increased because of these policies.
If you expect 100% correctness you are not a very practical man.

Perfect is the enemy of good enough.
It's true that simply having 30,000 people with a quick reply button creates negative interactions, Twitter is also a website that makes money from advertising, and people watch more ads if they're "engaged". This incentivizes the website to show your content to people who will disagree with it.

iPhone was the place where canvas and CSS animations, etc. first appeared. Yet when SDK appeared developers and users preferred native. With a reason.

What sort of discovery would count as "proof" to you?

The ultimate proof is actually doing it. Start with nothing but inert materials and produce a new, unique form of living organism using "just chemistry".

I'm not saying it can't be done, I am saying that thus far, it hasn't been done. And the reason it hasn't been done might be because "just chemistry" is an overly simplistic description of what is needed to actually achieve it.

But feel free to prove me wrong.

What? Russia claimed it owns part of Ukraine earlier this decade. Sudan split into two countries. There’s an ongoing dispute over islands between China and Japan. There’s also Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The Kurds get pushed around by the 4 nation-states who each claim part of their ancestral territory. India, Pakistan, and China all claim Kashmir.

Last century, Israel was created after a war. The Ottoman Empire was partitioned. Tibet was claimed by China. Germany was split in half and then reunited. The USSR split apart. The US annexed part of Samoa, and made states out of Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska and Hawai’i. Carving Africa into lines started in 1880. There are dozens of other examples, some administrative and some violent.

Your claim boils down to “a border is a border, until it isn’t.” How is that different from how it’s always been?

Why is physical shutter not a standard? wait..

I don't trust hardware kill switch either; anything is not visible right in front of my eyes. Mass product don't expect normal people to technically know about circuit design.

How hard it is for a big tech company whose hardware suppose to be best in the market, to design a built-in thin cover .. like camera shutter that's invented very first days camera invented.

ps; by shutter, I don't mean an actual light collector functionality although .. it's hard to argue that.

For macbook mic, I use hot glue to seal it. It's pretty good at blocking sound wave (I tested it).
Ask HN: Are you using Workplace by Facebook?
Got the Baofeng and the callsign, in that order. Got licensed because it costs around $10 for the exam with no mandatory classes and to use Echolink. Don't see much point in it as I don't like to talk and the funny chatter is on the unlicensed bands anyway.

Seriously, PMR446 near hotels and nightclubs is pure gold. Local gangsters' seating preferences, awkward staff romance, weird room service orders, you name it.
Me: I'm writing an essay about the second man on the moon. Anyone have information on him?

Everyone: Neil Armstrong was cool. Write about him rather.
I don't like that I have to use their web player to listen to music. Also if their licensing deals change, the music that used to be there can disappear. I don't like that and therefore I continue to support bands via Bandcamp, from where I can download FLAC files. Unfortunately not all bands are there and some keep focusing on streaming platforms/YouTube and it's becoming harder and harder to get the music files locally.
Finally, someone who puts it, a website must be a website, an app must be an app. I don't understand why people go crazy for an abomination of dead service workers for something that runs on APIs almost all the time.
I know where you were going with that, but the situation is different than what you’re trying to show. On Macs the light is on the path of the camera: if it is on the camera is, if it is not then the camera is not. Whereas with the door you might think that if it was latchless someone could just push it open when the light was off. The camera light is really a door alarm, not a door latch. (And as I just mentioned, doors with an alarm but no lock often do exist, usually for fire safety reasons).
The only deeper point is that labeling it "just chemistry" may be a gross over simplification of what is required to actually achieve it.

PWA are applications which use certain features: offline mode, service workers, notification API and other browser APIs. They utilise many browser features and behave more like native applications than web, except running in a browser.

Really vague concept without strict definition.
