Why?
Face Unlock is a godsend, Pixel 3 was my first phone with fingerprint scanner and I hated every minute of using it.

It was unreliable piece of &^*&^%&^, I had to teach it my fingers every week during the cold season (which in my country is close to 7-8 months) and during summer I had to do it only once a month maybe - during winter the air gets colder fingers dry out especially if you have allergy (and I do).

And it was slow, I did unlock with pattern faster.

As for battery, I don't feel that it is poor in Pixel 4 (I ditched Pixel 3 as soon as the preorders for Pixel 4 started), but I use wireless charging all the time, I have it at work and at home, so my phone is almost always at 100%.

And now I'm puzzled, why did they bring back fingerprint scanner in Pixel 5? Apple didn't bring it back after they jumped the face unlock wagon.

Not to mention inferior CPU/CPU in Pixel 5, it looks also worse than even in Pixel 3, but the price is still premium.

So basically now we get a Nexus quality phone with Pixel price point.
This is why I'm frustrated with the idea that we need to enact change and policies at the federal level. The federal government should just exist to protect our liberties and organize national defense. Everything else should be organized more locally at the community level where voters actually have some skin in the game.

It's the same idea as how modern agile companies run, small teams that work in the same environment, have more empathy/trust of one another, and are able to make compromises in order to have stability and direction within the team.

Additionally, we shouldn't be trying to put all of our eggs in one basket. Should we have single-payer healthcare nationally? No one knows if that's the most appropriate solution for all of the US, but why not let cities or communities try various localized healthcare strategies out for themselves. Each may try things differently. Some may work and some may fail. Other places can see how things worked elsewhere and either decide to improve, not implement, or take verbatim what another local government has done. You influence change by setting an example and letting others decide for themselves, not by trying to force the world to behave as a small subset of people want.

Having multiple baskets is essential for enabling different ideas and perspectives, especially if the bad ideas were to win out. I firmly believe humans are not meant to have such large scale societal structures where communities are expected to encompass an entire nation. You care more about and think more similarly to your neighbor than you do someone three thousand miles away.
Thanks for providing the details. I withdraw my incorrect assumption :).

RIP Reader.
I think the main problem is that there are simple ways to reduce the chances of virus spreading, but people ignore them - the only tool you have left in your tool belt is to shut things down. At this point, opening things up won't change much in my opinion - folks that want to stay at home will stay at home, limit their spendings (no restaurants, entertainment, etc), won't travel, and wait it out till the vaccine is ready. At least I know I will.
You can always copy the observer into the observed structure (and avoid a lot of complications - observers are best created with FP, not OOP). You can also carry the GUI and whatever else you want as a parameter when executing the observer.

But, of course you won't be able to mutate arbitrary global state.
I'm hoping this just means an OS update for those of us with NVidia Shield TV devices (or other Android TV devices). Better app/search integration would be nice, but I'm not giving up local/network playback options, and really don't want to see the apps languish (netflix, hulu, amazon prime, etc) too much.

Something, something, cold dead hands.
Lisp (Common Lisp) beats all the other dynamic languages by a considerable margin. This is why I am developing Clasp - a Common Lisp implementation based on LLVM that interoperates with C++/C (https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp.git) for scientific programming.

With Clasp, we get the best of multiple worlds. We get a dynamic language (Common Lisp) with automatic memory management and enormous expressive power that can directly use powerful C and C++ libraries. All three of these languages are "long-lived" languages in that code that was written 10 and 20 years ago still works.

Performance is really important to me and I have written a lot of code over the past four decades. I won't develop meaningful code in any language that falls below Racket in table 4 because these language implementations are too inefficient. I furthermore want to keep using my code over the years and decades and so I won't develop meaningful code in any language where someone else can break my code by changing the standard. My program "leap" was written 27 years ago in C and it is still being used daily by thousands of computational chemists. But it's really hard to improve leap because the code is brittle largely because of malloc/free-style memory management (brrr). For a compiled, high-performance, standard language with proven lasting power and performance - Common Lisp is the best choice.
I'm confused why they are not pushing the 4k plan as well, maybe that would put it out of a price target they were hoping to hit?

From the terms of the offer, it does look like you can apply the value of the offer to a 4k plan at a reduced duration.

* Offer value may be applied to a different Netflix streaming plan under the same account; exchanges in this manner may alter the duration of the offer. Netflix price plans subject to change and the duration of the offer value may be prorated accordingly.
> Bars are open around the country.

pointing to bars instead of churches in such contexts clearly shows political undercurrent, and you can see it everywhere.

> I think we’ve effectively lost our minds on covid

the reaction to Covid has never been rational. Instead it has been clearly following the 5 stage model of pure emotional reaction: denial, anger (strict lockdowns when they started), negotiation (rules for staged opening, masks, etc.), depression (entering right now, and we'll get fully into it with the second wave), and several months down the road we'll get to acceptance.
You're developing clasp for use in your matter compiler project, correct?
That's really over-selling it. WSL is okay. It's better than the previous monstrosities, but that's not saying much. You can't run VS Code in WSL, it literally has code to prevent you from doing that, even if you have a functioning X Server (which is a jolly pain to set up).
As a member of several different marginalized groups, I want to be able to go to work and do my job without having to hear my coworkers argue about whether I get to exist. I’m well aware that politics doesn’t ignore me, but for my own sanity I don’t want to think about it any more than necessary, either.

On the consumer side. There is a hard limit on bandwidth, though, on the provider side that can be exhausted by an overwhelming amount of bot traffic. In effect, that's what a DDoS is, even if unintentional.
Domain-specific background knowledge is incredibly important.

You see that when you hand word problems with more than one step to the poor kids. They use "solution strategies", that is they circle numbers and what they think are keywords, and they full well don't know what those words mean.

They circle "concentration", and they even can calculate a concentration given a mass of solute and volume of solvent, but they never thought about solutions and what solutions of different concentrations might do for you.

There is a paper somewhere in the Journal of Chemical Education where they handed numerical and conceptual questions to kids from Yale and FAMU. Quite contrary to expectations, the Yale kids did much better on the number questions, but on the questions what it all means both cohorts did equally lousy - 1/3 of kids at either school had an idea what those numbers they just calculated meant.
Apple's website scrolls much more smoothly for me as well (although that might be since I'm using Safari).
It blows my mind how much of the internet economy is built on sucking up user data, some of which makes sense, but I'd imagine the majority of 3rd party tracker data is used for recommending ads. Ads a solid constituent of users ignore entirely. I have personally clicked on an ad in earnest maybe once or twice in my entire life. I know a lot of this data is poured into recommendation engines but it seems like those I use aggregate results mainly based on the product seller's contract with the site and anonymous user data. If you could observe the gross cost of aggregating all of my data would the net of purchases swayed by the results of tracker data aggregation exceed the cost if excluding purchases which would've been made without any intervention based on that data? I just don't understand the economics of, "data is the new oil" because it seems like the number of profitable conclusions that can be made on mass aggregation are limited to a small handful of huge companies, and those selling data snake oil to political campaigns or whatnot.
What would be the comparison with NVidia Shield, aside from the top NVidia shield being about 3 times the price and has wired network?
Marginal differences should be ignored in this kind of benchmark.

It is usually well accepted that faster execution leads to lower power usage, as long as the CPU is operating in a reasonable thermal envelope.

Nothing new here, except that we can have a better grasp of the different orders of magnitude.
My first and third gen chromecast still works. Google TV is just 4th gen chromecast. I expect this to work several years.
That you made this effort to apologize is quite commendable, thank you.

And I may be mistaken on where the mainstream anti-immigration position is, though I do think that many/most people who are in favor of reducing immigration would also be amenable to some sort of a deal if it were on the table.
I want this, and not a > 1000 euro phone with no headset, compulsory face recognition, and an AI supercomputer chip with a battery which last half a day.

Half of the phones to come out over the last 5 years felt like they were engaged in a useless gimmickry arms race and it's a really clever move to be the first to pull the plug on that trend IMO. I for one was not expecting it.

Of course, I'm not going to buy because I have both the 3XL (this phone, best phone ever IMO, indestructible and does the things I need well) and the 4XL which I don't use as face unlock was annoying to begin with and now, simply put, useless.

In a year where company execs can, for instance, present a watch and with a straight face say "up to 18 hours battery life" I like to think that these guys brought some sanity to the table.

They figured out what people care about, refined those elements and dumped the rest of the useless crap. Who actually uses AR apart from a few pokemon players and some other niche uses, who cares about a 5% better camera when all cameras are amazing, and who wants to pay >1000, when phones have reached a reasonable performance level in any category. Which phones of the last three years are too slow?

It feels like the grown-up version of the smart phone. One size offering which falls in the sweet spot, amazing camera, fast refresh display, the only biometric that people actually like, and it's waterproof.

Face recognition is dead in the water, unless the law becomes having QR codes on face masks. That's why my pixel 4XL is still new and unused.

Additionally, a lot of people have less disposable income in light of recent events.

My pixel 3XL is still great so I'll hold off for now, but I'm super happy to see this type of "evolution". Just my ten cents.
>No one else wants that space right now

I know radio astronomers who might have a few choice words about that statement
Yes, I can google. I was hoping you would extend the courtesy of explaining what restriction you meant.

Intuitively, someone transports grapefruits across state lines. Did you mean you personally (i.e. average citizens), as opposed to a business with a permit? Or that grapefruits generally cannot legally go across state lines? I don't know of any inspections of cars for grapefruit except the well-known checks at the California border. Did you mean just CA and their ag inspections or something more general?

This link [1] (dated 2017) mentions a quarantine. Is there a citrus pandemic in effect? (The link it gives is dead.) That would be good context to have.

That link also mentions that you can do it, but need a federal certificate. Is that hurdle what you mean?

I could go on, but the point is: all of that could have been cleared up by just saying what was in your head with that remark, rather than replying only to give a Google results link.

Part of being a helpful participant on a forum is being clear on what you mean rather than expecting everyone else to read several Google results and guess.

Or, and I know this is crazy talk, we could use that same national integration to move sick people to places where they can be cared for.

If South Dakota is running out of ICU beds, and Denver isn't, get them to Denver. Yeah, that's expensive... but is it nationwide lockdown expensive? Of course not.

I mean if you have Google travel installed then it's a feature that it's integrated with gmail.

Additionally I wouldn't find it weird for calendar or maps to make suggestions based on gmail. That is the value proposition by adopting the Google ecosystem.
this is unbelievable, thank you!!
Yes, that's basically it.

2. The report (we call it Dataset) you build with the Narrator UI is a table that you can aggregate different ways, plot, and export (including writing back to the warehouse as a
materialized view)

3. done optionally as part of 2

4. Yes, we keep anything written back to the warehouse up to date. You can control the cadence.

Because of 4. we work well with BI tools like Looker. Once you have the data you want just point Looker to the right table in the warehouse.

>Does that mean I can finally connect to it from my phone via Bluetooth and play music that way?

I don't know about this device, but what you are describing is the antitheses of how chomecast is intended to work (or at least it was, from the beginning of chromecast to the last time I checked).

The idea is that you never stream anything from your phone, but rather your phone is a remote control and service authentication device for the chromecast.
People like to argue this point because there are rare exceptions when it isn't true, but yes, generally the faster the things finishes, the less energy you use. It is a fine rule of thumb to use in absence of direct power draw.
Fire TV is really awesome. Changed my perspective of TV.
I don't mind scrolljacking when it's compelling.

My only problem is I've scrolled through the whole thing and I'm still not clear if Google TV is a website, a piece of hardware, a bundle of content, or what...?

It's clearly not just hardware because it says "Chromecast with Google TV". But then it definitely involves an app because it says "Use the app" and "Coming soon to smart TVs."

But I still am not exactly clear how it integrates with the streaming apps? In fact I have no idea whatsoever. Do I watch HBO and Netflix through Google TV? Or is Google TV just a glorified playlists app that lets me get recommendations across services, that then links out to watch them in separate apps? Is it a free app or a paid subscription service? Does it give me access to exclusive content? Or network TV?

I'm left with no idea why I would use this or not because I still don't know what it is.
TIL of <dialog> which can get by with very little JS. But why is Safari refusing to implement it and why did Firefox put it behind a feature flag for years?
I honestly don't know why you're being downvoted. This board skews young, and techy. Not young and medical.

Why would the comments or upvoted articles be any less problematic here than on facebook? Being really good at one thing (mostly tech) does not mean you're really good at all things.

It's fascinating on this board right now. So many medical experts. So many people who are experts at what metric is the best and most relevant metric. So many people who are, I'm betting, talking out of their knowledge base, but doing it articulately, instead of through memes, so that makes it better?

The smaller process size means better battery life. I'll take better battery life over 16% faster performance.

I'm rocking a 3a and rare desire for a faster processor/CPU. more battery life is more important than additional performance once you hit a certain point.

I think it depends on the student making a connection with the people and activities of a school.

One of my cousins was excited to go to a certain school because of its (American) football team but he did not get along with the coach. Your child might go to what other people think is a great school but not really benefit from it.

What you might find curious from this book

is that there is both black and white flight from neighborhoods from neighborhoods that have asians moving in. Many of those people perceive that asians are competitive in a way that detracts from the atmosphere of the school to other people. The society as a whole doesn't appear to give asians the same benefits of educational accomplishment that other people get from it:

Buffet has been warning about inflation for two decades. He has said repeatedly over the years that one of the best ways to combat inflation is to buy companies that make their money in foreign currency. This would be a big hedge against dollar inflation in that case, which makes sense given how much the US Gov has spent already this year.

A second reason might simply be that he got an amazing deal. An interesting takeaway I got from reading University of Berkshire Hathaway is that people call him to buy their companies, usually not the other way around. It's possible that he got a call from struggling companies and decided it was a good deal.
Doesn't just save battery but leads to more responsive interface, which people noticed.
Like many others, I got very confused by this branding.

Its a Chromecast (4k60 HDR HDMI Dongle) that is running Android TV (Which they appear to be calling Google TV). And a remote control with voice controls. [1]

Not sure I see any reason why someone should get this over an Nvidia Shield. Which at least has a track record of long term support. Certainly a lower price point though, so maybe a market there?

There are different kinds of left. California is not economically extreme left.

Edit: About Europe, we almost never practice affirmative action the same way as US does. It mostly is "If two applicants has equal merit you are free to choose the disadvantaged one". See this court case for example:

In USA there are many examples of worse students being accepted thanks to affirmative action, and it is defensible in court.
