The Value of Spare Capacity
6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage are both better than my top of the line Pixel 3 from just 2 years ago, so that's good to see. The 730G kind of scares me though, how good is it compared to the top of the line? Are we talking unusably slow? The Pixel 3 issues seemed to be mostly RAM related, not CPU related, so maybe this combo of slower CPU and more RAM would still be faster.
This is heartbreaking.

It's hard to have a society where lies are expensive that doesn't lead to suppressing speech in general.

So, I think you touch on a real problem - but I don't think making lies expensive will lead to a good outcome either.

The internet creates a huge amount of easily accessible false information, but also a huge amount of easily accessible true information (more than at any other time in history).

People just need the ability to tell the difference.

Arguably access to all the information in the world won't save us because the non-free stuff isn't accurate either, and people still aren't trying to actually understand what's true. They're just trying to find stuff to support what they already believe. https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/i2z7i5/the_...

The big hangover of my generation
Recently I turned 31 :-). I also became increasingly frustrated about many things in tech, economy, society, etc. So did a lot of my friends.
At first, I thought that is typical "30s Blues". But with a bit of research, it turned to be more than just that. It has to do our parents (always :-D ), the Berlin Wall, Niel Armstrong, economic productivity, that modem dial-up sound, Starbucks, and above all "Fight Club".
It also turns out to be very good news.
Whether he’s credible or not is debatable, of course, but the Iranian President himself announced 25MM infections[1] in Iran. Health officials downplayed the number. So there’s that.

>By strict definition, COVID is not airborne since it seems to require a host material (e.g. water droplet).

You are wrong. Read:

2. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2342-5_reference.....

Aerosol transmission is the main vector.

Consider posing your statement in the reverse: SARS-CoV-2 does not disperse in droplets, and/or is not infectious when not in a droplet. There is no reason to believe either of those things!

It's totally reasonable to assume the virus could separate from a droplet and would remain infectious by itself for enough time to infect someone. This is common in other viruses, and seems to make sense from first principles. Why would virus particles not be able to form aerosols?
I think missed the crucial part of the previous comment: when birth control was invented and countries became more egalitarian, the disparities between men and women in many professions increased. Societies where women still aren't permitted good accesses to reproductive control see higher rates of women in STEM. Had birth control been invented earlier, current trends indicate that disparities of women in STEM would be even greater.
That's why I wish there would be more UV sterilization going on. Maybe in addition to more air flow, have a person or mini bot go down shopping aisles and sterilize the air.
Correct. You have slain the strawman! Congratulations.
I picked up on that too, such a shock of recognition when the author hit us with that one. It's so true, there's something effectively plainspoken about his prose that has such economy to his words. It's incredible stuff how crystal his writing can be.
Its really not, even with current libraries, not when you come from languages that have a modern packaging system.

I gave up waiting for this phone two months ago and bought an iPhone 11. Bleh.
You're both making observations about different segmentatis of the market. For some gamers, latency (both %-ile and long-tail) is incredibly important -- in particular FPS / MOBA / fighting games. Upgrading every few years to stay on the cutting edge can make a notable improvement to these consumers, though I suspect routers are a bit less rapidly changing that things like CPUs and graphics cards. Think of these like the luxury smartphone users that will get value from upgrading their iPhone annually.

For consumers that just watch Netflix (even at 4k), latency is irrelevant and you just need the bandwidth to be high enough; for these usecases, sure, a 10-year old router is fine. This is the consumer that keeps their Android phone for 2-3 years until it breaks, and only then upgrades.

I don't think the GP was claiming that everyone needs to upgrade frequently, just that for some consumers it makes sense.

Both segments can coexist, and so it's valid for different products/companies to tailor their offerings to one or both. It's pretty clear that you shouldn't buy Google products if you want to set-and-forget for 10 years. But if you're going to upgrade to the newest revision of smart-home gadget in less than 5 years anyway, then Google's product-ADD isn't a particularly relevant negative to you.

Definitely a factor to make sure that consumers are aware of when purchasing though!
Are we doomed to live through these boom-bust cycles over and over again?

Yes, I'd say it's a rather integral part of existing in the universe. All systems experience these cycles on some time scale.

Specialized in Web Scraping development. I can scrape any data from web based on your requirements and provide datasets in formats (csv, json) or save to DBs.

I developed a web scraper tool to fetch pricing data from US Hospitals websites and save in MongoDB, then aggregate and show the Prices online at one place. I developed a REST API and UI module to display that data on Front end. Tools used: JavaScript Puppeteer library, Chromium and Node JS with ExpressJS to develop the web scraping tool.

>would allow them to conclude that if the phone company can connect calls to your mobile handset, then they can also figure out roughly where it is

To be fair, people have trouble concluding they can be tracked or found when they sign in to a service and are asked repeatedly if said service can have access to their location, then use said service to check in or announce their location publicly.

I am sympathetic to what the WHO did here, they realize that the average person is going to be extremely fearful when they realize that stagnant air could contain virion particles hours after being sneezed in (which is what the data show).

They should have erred on telling people, because then we would have had months to ramp up room air purifiers before school starts... (I have been saying this for months, and am surprised by the lack of scientific leadership in ‘science’ organizations).

That is an empty argument. Not to mention Rust is only now in 2020 starting to get actual IDE support.

For C++ there are at least 8 major production GUI IDEs available, plus a few TUI ones too, plus dozens and dozens of specialized tools around it.
"Constrained" is in the spirit of Adam Smith, Burke and Hayek (all of whom would be aghast at being labeled "conservative"); "unconstrained" is in the spirit of Rousseau, and in particular his claim that "man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains."

The Constrained vision assumes that the best we can do is choose a set of trade-offs that are least bad; the Unconstrained vision assumes that trade-offs are illusions imposed by defective institutions, and so if we improved/reformed/abolished the institutions, we could eliminate the trade-offs.

There's a lot more to it, so you should read the book, but that's the basic thesis.
Hey, I used to briefly work on the device in question. It’s capabilities go far beyond just downgrading cellular service. I obviously can’t say much more about it but I am a huge proponent of creating strong laws regarding who can use such a device and when. Putting such devices in the hands of low level law enforcement officers to use against their communities for trivial reasons can only turn out poorly.

Can vouch for the Pixel line. I've had a Pixel 3a XL for a little over a year and it's been great. Stock Android, good display, great battery life, great camera, great security, reasonably fast and 3 years of updates. That's all I need from a phone. The Pixel 4a seems like a logical upgrade from the previous generation, sticking to the same principles.

Same reason why Andreessen Horowitz is also "A16Z" - not a lot of people know this.

(and same reason why Mission and Market is "M14T" - a small micro-vc fund that I co-founded with two other friends - not a plug, as the fund is fully closed (e.g. raised all the capital intended to raise) and is fully deployed, and we don't need to market it anymore).
It was already circulating in the city before the bumbling began.
Agreed; I don't see face unlock significantly more convenient in than fingerprint unlock. I guess it's a little more automatic, but I find I have to wiggle my phone around any way in order to get it to recognize my face. In practice, I end up having to spend the same amount of time making faces at my phone as I did touching the fingerprint sensor.

Even before face-masks, I found that my Pixel 4 can't recognize me with a bike helmet on. I have a phone mount on my handlebars and fingerprint-unlocking is very convenient (not while moving, obviously). Also if I'm driving, I can hand the phone to my wife and finger-unlock it without looking away from the road, which is definitely not possible with a face-unlock.
I think Microsoft is evading scrutiny right now because while they do everything the others do, they are the less big player in every market. And often easier to get around. Nobody's worried about Edge's dominance with Chrome around, who even cares about the 30% cut the Windows Store can take?

However, when the laws get revised and new precedent is set, many rule changes will blow back on Microsoft just as well as everyone else.
I personally don't buy the 5G hype. Yeah the spec is amazing and I've seen the demos showing how great it can be, but you need nodes everywhere, like every 10m or something. Given the frequency, it has poor penetration, so you'd need tons of nodes + it might not penetrate your house/building without additional nodes in your house.

Hence, I don't see it being as great as they say without years more of investment.

I believe that’s why the parent comment said scientists and medical experts should improve how they explain terms going forward.
