I’m not an engineer, but I can say that for a very long time Grindr felt like it was basic, poorly built, and generally unreliable. A couple of years ago it felt like there was a serious wave of investment in the app - the UI got better, it stopped dropping messages and having random outages - but clearly the DNA of the company hasn’t really changed.

It's bizarre that they have one in Belfast but not Dublin. I've never understood the logic.
> Einstein's Theories forbid as fast as light, but say nothing about faster than light travel.

Yes it does. This is a basic consequence of the underlying pseudo-Riemannian geometry. In terms of PDEs, the field value at any point is fully determined by the initial conditions on a Cauchy surface within its past light cone.

Quantum mechanically, field operators at spacelike-separated points commute.

You should be able to get the token from your database, unless you're doing black box testing, which I am not a fan of for reasons such as this.
I recently turned on my Vizio to see it had updated its firmware and I was forced to accept terms of use and privacy policies from both Vizio and Google before I could do anything else on the TV. It was essentially bricked unless I accepted. I accepted, then immediately unplugged the TV from the network, removed the WiFi information and manually entered bad DNS settings. I rebooted the TV and it reconnected to WiFi automatically! Not happy. Forget network, re-enter bad settings, check router logs... it’s no longer connected in any way that I’m aware of, through my network anyway. Very negative experience.
>4 years later, I'm still not blown away at the sensor technology on Apple Watch. (disc. I have one) Sleep tracking wasn't added till the latest release!!??

I didn't buy an Apple Watch because of a) the cost and b) not wanting to charge a watch every day. My Amazfit Bip is 2.5 years old, and has

* Heart rate detection up to every minute (automatically speeds up to real time during workout)

* Bluetooth Smart sensor functionality, so I can use it to report heart rate to compliant apps like iSmoothRun

* Sleep tracking

* 25 days of battery life (real world, not specification)

* GPS (although I never use it, preferring GPS on my phone through iSmoothRun)

* Notifications display

* More than 20,000 user-contributed watch faces

* $60 price when I bought it; the successor Bip S is about the same price today

It doesn't have Apple Watch's arrythmia or blood oxygen detection, and there is a UI bug that the company never fixed after it appeared last year, but otherwise Bip has done exactly what it promised and more.
A completely unresearched wild-assed guess: and order of magnitude fewer. But they're nuts, and they are loyal repeat customers and evangelists for the platform.

After getting 2 hand me downs from a friend who upgraded, my partner sprung for a new one. Killer features for her: battery life of a week instead of a day and good backcountry navigation.

Garmin connect does exercise challenges too, so there's a social aspect as well.
It’d probably be better, but it is an accidental feature of the current system.

No problem! You've been a lot of fun to talk with, so thanks for that.

> I guess my natural next question is, why do young people (to generalize) feel screwed over by our current economy?

If I were to guess, it's probably because young people have experienced now not 1, but 2 major crises in their lifetime (2008, 2020).

Young people also have congregated to some of the most expensive metros in the US, and those localities have done a terrible job building enough housing to keep up with demand.

I think the collective angst is justified, but needs to be contextualized so that we don't prescribe the wrong solutions.
If a system supports "Good 'Til Canceled" orders, casual application of "cancel all orders" will wipe out orders that are months old. Maybe that is called for in an extreme case (data center destroyed, offsite backups cannot be recovered), but at a minimum it is extremely rude. GTC orders even live through corporate actions, getting repriced as appropriate. They treat that order lifetime seriously.
That video is already laggy compared to what I remember as a kid. If you were watching OTA analog the channel change was near instant. Even on our cable box it was near instant.

I use a Sony smart TV that I’ve never given a network connection to and it’s fine with that, starts up to inputs and let me sideload firmware updates and apps when I need to.

They are mostly app updates and security issues that only relate to networking and the smart features. But there are occasional updates to support new media features, new color management options, power management changes, etc.

My LG OLED has received updates to support TrueHD audio, add new color settings like Technicolor modes, UI functions like the ability to apply your customized picture settings to all inputs, and changes to the motion smoothing for certain video formats.
no no no. this is bad advice.

1) "Some Samsung TVs already try and connect to open WiFi networks if you don't connect them yourself."

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24629155

2) there is ethernet over hdmi - I would image this is another source of inadvertent connection.

3) samsung tvs require an ethernet cable to "update firmware" so HDMI works.

4) ACR - which will look at ALL the inputs.

and wait for the next few iterations

- smart devices talk to each other and exfiltrate data

- smart device manufacturers collaborate with ISPs who have put wifi gateways in your house and your neighbor's house.

I guess I question why exchanges haven't moved toward a highway or hospital model where it's open, unless it really needs to be closed. Those places have the procedures in place to operate after hours.

Or at least adopt the retail model where they get some more retail traders by operating some weeknights/weekends.

Great question!

You can keep dormant canes in the refrigerator for about a year before they start to degrade. After 2+ weeks in refrigeration, the canes can be rooted. It takes about 6 months from budbreak to harvest. This time is the same in the greenhouse as it is in the vineyard. If the vines are grown in a greenhouse where day-length and temperature are controlled, it is possible to harvest 2 crops a year @ ~6 months apiece. We just take the canes out of the refrigerator when we start a new batch.
err, excuse me .. before the first US constitution (barring a few years when things were really up in the air), the "united states" was a wholly owned colony of Great Britain. If you're a historical revisionist, you could make the claim that the separate colonies constituted separate nations before the AoC, but I wouldn't agree with you. The AoC formed a nation, post-revolution, and formed it out of states. I would read Article IV as preventing the elimination of freedom of movement and capital, because when it was enacted there was honestly little to no barriers to either already in place.

The EEC/EU was preceded by nations, continues to feature nations (1) and still has no actual federal structure (though quite a lot of Europeans wish it had more, and quite a lot of other Europeans wish it had less).

(1) consider how easy it was for even the Schengen zone nations to close their borders and think about how difficult it would be for a state to do the same.
For 1080p yes; 4K generally uses HDCP 2.0 which as of now is unbreakable. OP unfortunately didn't specify.

(An alternate option might be to rip the 4K BluRays, which is doable if you have the right drive, but also a bit of a pain.)
What's especially odd is python would let you do `import beautifulsoup4 as bs4`, so there's no need to pick `bs4` for the module name. (For `scikit-learn`, I'd say restricting package names to valid python module names is fine.) Imagine if `numpy` had been named `np` or `pandas` `pd`.
An extreme example of the consequences of #7 is the Lake Peigneur disaster, where "an engineer mistook transverse Mercator projection coordinates for UTM coordinates" and Texaco, drilling for oil, drilled into a salt mine that was under the lake. The lake drained into the mine (which had 55 workers, all survived), the canal that normally drains the lake into the ocean reversed until the mine filled up and reversed again, and the lake changed from freshwater to saltwater.

I would use it if you ever built it :) that sounds fascinating.
Read the first section and has already been super helpful for a newbie founder. Thanks!
The system is online, publishing market data and and accepting orders before trading starts. The exchange initially announced a delay in opening, and only later announced staying down for the day. It doesn't sound like they had the option to do what you described. The staff trying to resolve the problem was presumably doing everything they could before giving up for the day.
So is that guess 1 million or 10 million? the article is about how there are about to be 100 million Apple Watch users.

I would definitely like longer battery life on my Apple watch.

Barring that it’d be convenient if the chargers were like lightning and usb-c: available in every gas station, drug store, and dollar store.
I was surprised to learn recently that Java's main repository Maven Central apparently has a manual review for new packages where they validate that you own the domain of your project or the github for it. I'm not sure to what extent, but that seems very reasonable.

The article mentions that Arise overbooks contractors for corporate clients. The rationale is that Arise cannot dictate independent contractor hours directly, so by overbooking they can ensure sufficient labor for their clients at all hours. However, independent contractors are asked to pay for training material and complete unpaid training to be eligible for each client project. As a result, independent contractors may be getting systematically underpaid by holding the reasonable expectation of recouping their initial investment

> exposure creates desire and increases the size of the purchase market over a several year span.

Sure, I remember when we used to say this on Slashdot twenty years ago. But does this still hold true when films and music have moved to streaming that pays artists ridiculously little and there is no longer much interest in buying physical media among the younger generations? (Even the chance for musicians to make money from touring is gone for at least 2020–2021).

Once books go into a streaming model that allows you to read as much as you like for a low monthly cost, very few people are going to buy the physical book. So, it looks like authors will have to just be content with that fraction of a cent per read in perpetuity, and making the book practically free isn’t really creating a market by which authors can make a living from their work.
Also CORS: you can hotlink images from everywhere, but if you try to actually put those bits in a Buffer (as you'd need with BPG) the browser won't let you unless CORS is properly set up for the specific source-target URLs (affects things like image CDNs and so on).

Great, now with the same logic the US Treasury Department should impose fines on parents who want to pay the ransom for their kidnapped children, because obviously (paying the ransom) benefits and promotes the illicit objectives of the kidnappers... Jesus Christ.

Anyone have any reasonable explanation for this? Wouldn't it be better to fine companies that don't have a security standard for their data?

edit: An example with apples:

Jhon is a guy who does not care about the security of his company and does not create backups, suddenly he receives a ransomware attack and all his data is now encrypted, he has no option but to pay the ransom or all his intellectual property will be unusable , so he pays, and since he paid the criminals, he also pays a fine for incentivizing ransomware ... At the end of the day nothing was fixed and the ransomware groups are happier than ever.

In a parallel universe we have an improved system, here it is regulated that all companies have either a backup of their information or a very robust system without back doors. Here Jhon also does not care about the security of his company, then it is discovered that Jhon does not have a backup copy and he is fined, Jhon pays and is forced to improve the security of his company, then he does it, then he receives an attack of ransomware, but Jhon refuses to pay because his company already has better security ... At the end of the day Jhon paid a fine, but the ransomware teams didn't get what they wanted, the problem was fixed here.
there's also ethernet over hdmi. I'm uncertain how that gets exposed - possibly game consoles, or collaboration with tv box manufacturers.
You can run anything you want on your fitbit?
I’ve read the indictment, and the meat of it seems to rest mostly on their involvement in pirated ROM distribution and the marketing of their product as a piracy enabling device.

It seems as though the way they operated had simply made them party to the ‘crimes’ of the end users. Ignore the grandiose language of the DOJ. An indictment is essentially a prosecutors wish list, it presents the ‘facts’ in the way the prosecutor wants them to be presented, and represents the law in the way the prosecutor wants it to be represented. When the DOJ say “this person committed this act”, or “this act is illegal”, it’s just an accusation. Those accusations aren’t “proven” until they’ve been tried in court. Only pay attention to the core details of the allegation and ignore the rest of it.

Software is constitutionally protected speech. But if your software contains copyrighted material, or is accompanied by copyrighted material (as is the case alleged here, with their ROM library), then it can still break the law. I’m also pretty sure the way that you market it can influence this too. I imagine marketing software as “to help you play pirated games” would be the same as marketing a gun as “to help you commit armed robberies”.

Also the fact that they sold their software seems to have made things worse.

Was it not actually instant?

My recollection from the 80's was you switch the channel (physically) and it's... switched!

So was there some magical latency there that I just couldn't perceive, or are the "near instant" reports talking about some other type of TV? Or something else?
That would became a serious risk of Philoxera, as those are stems rooted, therefore not grafted.

What jam has to do with your decisions
I've been using various smart watches (currently on galaxy active) and I love them but I still feel that it's only slightly more than a meme.

The core functionality is just gamification like step counts, "hey get up reminders" and some rather pointless blood metrics.

What is great imho is the customizable watches and bands. The bands are like 1$ each and the are like a thousand of brilliant watch faces.

I think smart watches are much better for fashion than function.
Why would you be friendly towards somebody who has just taken unwanted photos of you without your permission?
I've noticed a very consistent pattern over the years: any time someone mentions some device, or dietary choice, or habit, etc, that has had a large positive impact in their behavior, it's almost always a recent change. A few months, maybe half a year or a little more. It's been a pattern in my life too.

I do hope it's a lifelong positive change for you but I've just gotta discount any glowing reports that come from a recent change like this heavily.

I didn't claim this either

my only point was EU is not unique, it's a confederation and there have been many throughout history, several with freedom of movement and capital, including the rather well known United States (post-AoC but pre-federalisation)

you may disagree, but that would be historical revisionism
> Libraries don't even need books anymore

This line gets trod out every time there is a discussion like this on HN, but it still isn’t true. I suspect this attitude comes primarily from people in STEM fields, because there only the most recent content is relevant, and recent content is available in digital form. But there are still whole fields – e.g. archaeology, linguistics, history, literature – where so many books have never been digitized. Anyone interested in such topics today often has to turn to a paper book that is a few decades old, and so thank goodness for libraries that have abundant stacks or can get you quick and cheap ILL.

That is true even for many things that a layman readership might want to read, not just a scholarly audience. For example, a lot of 20th-century poetry is not available in ebook form, and with their limited typesetting capabilities, MOBI/EPUB are terrible formats for reading that genre anyway.
