A big problem is the marketing around 5G is a total clusterfuck, to the great detriment of consumers.

As I understand it, the "true" original definition of 5G was millimeter wave technology. From the PCMag article this is based on:

> Millimeter-wave uses very weak, short-range panels that are easily blocked by obstacles. In our tests, millimeter-wave doesn't generally penetrate buildings, and even has trouble with glass; we had our drivers keep their windows down, with the phones facing out, so the network even had a chance.

That is, this kind of 5G is essentially useless now, and will be for a long time until buildings/cars/subways etc. are built with repeaters that would make indoor coverage possible.

However, I definitely don't understand all the various versions of "5G" so it's difficult for me to understand which tech is used by which phones and carriers.
Also on old AMD hardware (SMC based GPU/CPU?) there is a very critical time period JUST after the device comes out of reset and before the SMC starts to lock everything down. Then you can access 'secret' SMC registers through JTAG and read out the protected SMC ROM for example (just keep resetting the device over and over, while stepping the SMC address one by one). The SMC's CPU is a Lattice Mico32 (LM32). In the SMC ROM is a symmetric crypto key which used for authentication (SHA1).

The SMC ROM contains code to initialize the hardware before the PCIe links are brought up. One of the first things the SMC does after boot is read out the eFuse contents and program various 'write once' lockdown registers which are used to disable features within the chip. Once these registers have been written to they cannot be modified until a hard reset occurs. So you write to these before the SMU gets a chance to. Or you can halt the SMC itself, then write whatever registers you want and reboot it as nothing ever happened. That way you can override many of the eFuse related settings.

The above techniques might also work on PSP based CPUs/GPUs - so you need to access the JTAG interface ASAP after bringing the chip out of reset. I'm unsure if the SMC is still present on the PSP-based CPUs and GPUs, as I don't have any spare to test.

Every broker has its own internal rules about where to direct its order flow. Some "internalize" the trade and don't send it anywhere. Others get paid to direct the order to a specific market maker, exchange, or dark pool (called PFOF).

Others allow their clients to direct orders using a specific trading strategy. If you have a family office it's very likely this is part of the strategy.

However, ordinary retail investors are sometimes locked out of this system. I don't know Etrade's policy in particular, so I can't say for sure what you would have to do.
5g has several parts. If used on existing frequencies, I believe it's more efficient as you suggested. Which will be a clear win, once there's enough deployed equipment (base stations and mobile devices)

It also is available on new frequencies. Lots of bandwidth on those frequencies, but a lot less signal propagation too. Helpful for sports stadiums, transit terminals, and other crowded situations, not so helpful for most situations.

Carrier aggregation sounds like it could be useful too.

As far as I know, yes, that's the oldest I've been able to find.
But my identity is my identity. Unless my account is compromised, dont stop ME, the customer, from using MY identity. Right now the major identity providers are all black holes of support, if something goes wrong, you have no recourse to get yourself back.

I'd be more ok with Apple not allowing new accounts, but existing accounts should not be removed from people without them agreeing to a transition process to a non sso, local epic account.
To the author :
There are times where I would like my mail to be delivered at specific periods of time in the day rather than disturbing with any new email.

Or perhaps a snooze button for specific period of time.
Do you have any intention of such features?

Besides, the application is great. Good work.
The system knows about some buildings as landmarks. I don't think I would categorize that as advertising; "turn left at the Starbucks" is an extremely human way to give directions. I haven't thought about it as advertising when my parents tell people to turn left at the gas station on the corner; There's a gas station on the corner. It's an easy landmark.

Two nights ago, I had Maps tell me "turn right after the McDonald's" because there was a McDonald's at the corner.

Come on, they're explicitly saying that they're charging for the service. It's pretty clear that when they're talking about privacy the caveat is that they won't suck your data into another sink (them) _other than google itself_, being the provider of gmail and all.

I'm all for privacy and informing the user but they're hardly playing word games here.
4G Was amazing before everyone switched and it got overloaded. I remember being astonished to get better download speeds on my phone than my wired home internet when it first came out.
It entails so much more than just latency improvements.
The dplyr team is genuinely working hard to make the tabular data manipulation tool. IIRC versions 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 all brought major enhancements. The basic structure has remained consistent but the advanced API keeps getting refactored, usually for the better I think.

(I know some people swear by data.table, but I find it gets ugly fast if you want to do anything more than simple joins or split-apply-combine)
Could you link to an example of an output file?
Right, at first. But do this over a few years and the housing market continues to expand and grow. The housing prices continue to go up and the required down payment continues to proportionally rise back to the point of market pressure pushing back. I don't think that half a down payment equals double the house cost (even in the long term), but it is just one more example of supply and demand. If you lower the upfront or monthly costs for something, then demand should go up which will push prices back up. Econ 101.
This should, at worst, only affect users who hide their email address from Epic and use the Apple relay service. Users who share their email address with Epic would be able to simply continue using it, with a reset password if necessary.

Apple also has the option to continue allowing Epic to deliver password reset emails to private relay email addresses, using their pre-11th DKIM/SPF settings, so that users can continue to reset their account passwords by email and login and change their email address.

Cynically, I assume that if Apple does continue relaying password resets, Epic would change their systems in some way that intentionally breaks that somehow, in order to create further public pressure on Apple.
Thanks! It's been fun to dive into the history of how the entire thing came together.
It depends on the size and topology of the entire universe. It's possible the universe is smaller and sort of wraps around: literally, objects that appear far away are just past images of the back of objects that are closer to us.

More boringly, measurements of the curvature of the universe mean this is probably not the case.
> Windows 10 flat out refuses to install on an Intel NUC

I am really curious about this claim, because I've installed Windows 10 on multiple Intel NUCs without any sort of issues. They've very well supported.

The only particular peeve I know of is that you can't install Windows Server 2016/2019 on an Intel NUC and use it's built-in Ethernet port, because Intel decided to disable allowing drivers for "consumer" Ethernet chips (like the one in most NUCs) to install on a server OS.
Just ran this test from my iPhone 7^. 60GB/mo 4G plan, 15€/mo. 115 Mbps down, 30 up, barely takes a dent inside buildings. 100GB plans are available.

I’m looking at 5G developments with bewildered amusement :popcorn: (especially the beyond ridiculous marketing side) and honestly couldn’t care less right now.

^ mentioning iPhone 7 because I had a 8 that stupidly went MIA, and the 7’s connection definitely is “lousier” that the 8 was, which was able to maintain a solid connection (obviously not at the speeds above, but continuously usable) on a 350kph TGV.

God forbid the 'sin' function would be just floating around, outside of a static 'Math' class. Or 'reduce', for that matter—obviously you need a special 'Reducer' class for that.

That reminds me of Steve Yegge's "Execution in the Kingdom of Nouns", actually.
My kids are back in school now on a hybrid mode, 50% online/50% in person, which equals 100% ineffective. The bottom line is, it is not working. The technology is halfway there, still has long ways to go. Teachers and school districts (overall) are not trained to deal with it. Kids do not have the discipline either. But, it is what it is, and all I can do is try to compensate it by using some of the time with them at home to teach things that the school will not cover (e.g., cooking, financial literacy).
> they massively subsidised the childless in the long run

How, exactly? It feels like the glass-makers fallacy every time this point is expanded on.

> Anyhow, try the empathy thing out

empathy means "the ability to understand and share the feelings of another"; you assume this isn't the case because others draw a different conclusion to you own. What If others understand perfectly well? From my perspective the phrasing "try the empathy thing out" is pretty patronising, leading me to conclude you either lack empathy on that point, or else wanted it to be that way; it's possible to be (if not act) empathetic while acting vindictive.
Yeah, power usage is going to be a hard one. One of the biggest things to drain battery, moreso than screen time even, is a super weak cell signal. I am curious how they are going to mitigate this effect, especially with mid band and mmwave 5g. I don't want my phone grabbing onto weak 5g and burning up when I'd be perfectly happy with existing low band LTE.

For CardDAV, there's options to do a regular one time import, but it's not setup to sync.

For CalDAV, many people use the Fastmail web interface with other calendars by syncing them (https://www.fastmail.com/help/calendar/sync.html?).
One analogy I've heard: Imagine the big bang split into 4 spheres and they accelerated away from each other. Because they'll all be expanding and accelerating, there could be 4 equally sized spheres of stuff just like our own, but it would be impossible for us to observe them. Change the number 4 to 2 or 1000 or n. We really would have no idea.
I see people discussing different alternatives, but for me there are very few viable solutions that would be nearly as good as gmail. And actually I don't like it this way. I hate to use the m word here, but it's kind of monopolistic for me.

And seriously, this is an email period it was invented how many decades ago? It should be easy to have something that works very well with offerings from multiple providers.

As you dig deeper, there are a lot of little details that give Google the advantage. I'm not expert enough to describe all of them in detail, but certainly part of it is we have big players who are dominant on Android and Apple making it difficult for small players to catch up. We also have, as one person pointed out, blacklists and not being easy to get around that with other providers because Google is so dominant in this space too.
Quarterly reporting is an SEC requirement, so we don't affect that. We do require certain additional reports be filed on an annual basis.

Companies prove their long term by adopting policies responsible to our long-term principles. The way this works is spelled out in a lot of detail both on our website and in our regulatory filings. Here's more of a layman's overview: https://longtermstockexchange.com/static/principals_for_lt_s...
Sure, but A) As implemented in code, the path doesn’t necessarily have to be fully explicit in terms of tags. You could look for a child with text containing rather than a specific class or id, for example (or get fancier with semantic similarity on tags or text). B) There’s a trade off between speed and fragility that could make a difference if your tree is deep enough that traversing it iteratively is slow enough compared to a long xpath that it becomes a limiting factor. Granted you don’t typically encounter this in a standard issue html tree but the lxml docs, for example, correctly note that xpaths can be way faster when the nesting is super deep.
Yeah FCoE could be wonky. It was a pipe dream that was a no win balancing act.

I worked with some FCIP and given the right case and planning, that could work, within the right context.

Isn't it possible that the galaxy is much younger and it actually moved faster than light?

I seem to remember reading that "islands" of spacetime could do that.
Facebook will happily amplify any voice, even incoherent rambling, and find customers for it. I welcome you to try - the only thing you have to do is write hundreds of comments in public groups. You will be successful immediately. The problem is the 'rational' side considers that 'below their level', often any Facebook usage at all is considered waste.
The article says they only gave 5G 5MHz of spectrum. Of course this makes it slower.. In 4G LTE it's common to use multiple blocks of spectrum (carrier aggregation) to provide even higher data throughput.
Hi Eric, presumably the companies will trade on a limit order book, like other exchanges. This mechanism of price formation allows rapid price movements up or down. What’s to stop the speculators or retail investor hordes from piling into a stock and driving its price up or down? Are there holding period rules?
Rust wrappers for C libraries work great. C++ is a bit harder, but tooling is getting better.

The fact that Rust has zero-cost FFI and even inlining across LLVM languages allows you to take existing C/C++ project, and start writing new Rust code on top of it.

It's like a more performant version of what people do with Python. Nobody says "oh, I can't use Python, because my device drivers aren't written in Python".
Balena means whale, btw.

Not sure why one would choose it, when there are so many options.
Without regulation you don't have a market at all, you have war, where the best and cheapest way to beat your competitors is to murder them. Even the Mafia found it was better to establish a council to work out beefs and reduce inter-family violence. Market law goes back to the Middle Ages in Western Europe, where it was international in scope and enforced by private courts paid for by the merchants themselves.

We don't have actual war yet. But we do have a world of duopolies, in which two (or three or four) control almost all of the business between them. That's not good for customers or suppliers or retailers; it's only good for the rent-seekers who own those companies.

Unfortunately, the U.S. has for several administrations now basically not enforced the antitrust laws unless a short-term rise in prices is visible. Long-time rises in prices, as well as knock-on effects like reduction in quality, are simply ignored.
I'd wish DDG would either provide their own email service or create a front-end for your choice of mail providers (i.e. iCloud, Protonmail, etc).

I'd love to move away from everything Google (further support a company who is pro-consumer) to a company in which i trust and whose business model/ethos is privacy.
Your arguments are ilogical, try thinking more before commenting, is like saying "We could shit behind our homes since generations but the new king is demanding we build toilets and also to wash our hands" - if something was legal in the past for millennia does not mean it should not change.

Consider that there will be a judge and a trial and you can't claim that someone else started it , you need to show the judge that the users are not hurt by Apple businesses and IMO if we are lucky a law will be passed that will also fix console issues too.
If you want to apply a respect/disrespect lens, "I could do that" is the disrespectful position.

The respectful position is "this isn't my speciality, it's yours, tell me what you need and I'll get out of the way."

"The time it would take me to acquire your skills is more valuable than what you'd charge to fix my problem" is acknowledging the plumber's value, not diminishing it.
In the Untied States that might be true.

Launch HN: Tappity (YC S20) – Keeping kids entertained with science
Hey HN --

I’m Chad, and I co-founded Tappity (https://www.tappityapp.com) with my friend, Lawrence. We’re building a healthy alternative to Youtube that entertains and educates kids (4-10) with interactive lessons—starting with science!

Tappity’s story began ten years ago when I developed an app for my Biology professor to teach kids about evolution. It was my first time building a product for kids, so I learned a ton about designing for an audience who couldn’t read or sit still for very long. Also, their brutally honest feedback was refreshing! We ended up getting 20,000 downloads, and I learned kids love interactions. After that great experience, I continued to create apps for kids on the side for fun.

About two years ago, parents started paying for one of these apps. Kids loved a segment we had shot on a whim at our friend’s house, in which they could interact with a real live science teacher. Parents were excited, too. We gave them something engaging, fun, and educational for their kids, which is shockingly rare. The sad reality is that 99% of kids apps fall into three buckets: ad-riddled games, cheap & buggy ABC/123 apps, or YouTube. We wanted to do better. Shortly thereafter, Lawrence and I quit our jobs (where we had met) to start Tappity!

We leaned into this idea of live-like experiences. We felt it’d enrich screen time without sacrificing the fun. So, with Tappity, kids don’t just passively watch, they play along and direct our live-action characters on screen. For example, you could tell Haley—our version of Bill Nye—what she should do next in her science experiment, and she would actually do what you say. Unlike traditional TV programs or videos, where you know the person on screen is talking to a million other people, Tappity makes it feel like characters are interacting with just you in real time. Turns out, this format is super engaging. Best of all, kids don’t feel like they’re learning—they tell their parents they're hanging out with Haley!

So far, we’ve produced ~40 hours of original content, and we’re rapidly building out our library. While we shot much of our content initially with an iPhone in my garage, we’ve now graduated to filming with an actual crew at a studio in Los Angeles!

We're excited to share Tappity with the wider HN community, especially those of you with younger kids. With many families still spending a lot of time at home, we're hoping to make at-home learning a bit more fun and bearable. You can download it for free on the App Store [1]. Would love to hear what you think!

Chad, Lawrence, & Tanner

P.S. We also just launched the first online science fair for kids [2] hosted by Kari Byron from Mythbusters to encourage families to do more science experiments at home (and win prizes)! Check it out!

OOP first boomed with C++ before Java came around, and Java got GC from function languages.

If GC was the distinguishing factor, OOP would have never gotten off the ground.
>> use beamforming to finish your download at Gbps speeds and get you off the network faster

Ya, "Faster speeds mean people will spend less time clogging the connection" ... it never happens that way. Increased speeds mean people use more internet, not less. Consumers start doing new things with the faster speeds (streaming video etc) increasing demand and overall usage. The only real answer is massive and constantly increasing speeds and bandwidth capacities. It is a race that cannot be won but must be run nevertheless.

In the US, the mandatory deposit requirement likely worked pretty well with traditional book/magazine publishers and music labels. Outside of that, I expect a huge amount slipped through the cracks. There's no real enforcement AFAIK and I imagine most who are independently publishing or otherwise working outside of conventional channels don't deposit.
How is power management? Which distro did you go with?
Since the browsers are a spyware on their own, especially chrome, this is not really true. And fingerprinting, cdns, etc. doesnt really provide you privacy. And local storage, history, cookies, syncing bookmarks to google etc. doesnt help either. We could argue about ssh / rdp access but browser is surely not a way to go.
No company should be immune to valid criticism. Microsoft was forced to add a browser pop-up on their OS, because it was considered they were abusing their market position.

Of course, retaliation is expected, but Apple has been so inconsistent in their application of the rules that every decision they've ever made is going to be called into question.

And you can be sure if there is even a hint at favouritism or revelations they've given certain partners special deals (that perhaps Epic wasn't allowed but Amazon was), then they are well and truly fucked.

The EU is not going to mess around. They are going to question every single decision Apple has made, and will make a substantial report into their conduct especially the effects on EU business and the economy. If the EU announces they are investigating you, you should be very, very afraid, they do NOT mess around and will absolutely be at the least issuing a rather substantial financial penalty and changes you will be forced to make within the business (and the OS).

Just look at what they've done to Google in the past few years, this is going to be no different.

I expect huge changes are coming for Apple in 2021 and I think we'll all be better off for it.

So sure, take the actions/steps you want, but be prepared to really defend them, and hope you actually have a case that is applied equally and fairly to all.
I've found that the breaking point is for websites that consume their own public APIs. On those, the API is usually very well maintained, documented, and stable.

Those that don't use their own APIs almost always end up with an open API in the state you describe (except maybe the very big players like FB, where the open API is overall good).
When even a .co is considered a typo, I think we've a long way to go with this...
