I may be, and some of the smart watch features do appeal to me. (And if a standalone Signal app were available for the Apple Watch with LTE, that might push me over the edge to switching.)

But for now, Apple lags far behind Garmin in terms of fitness tracking for outdoor activities. That's more important to me, and it's more important to people like marathon runners who are more serious athletes than me. But we're also probably a minority of the market; I don't doubt Apple knows what they're doing here.

A modern smartphone can do anything that a 90s pocket organizer could do and more. But Apple Watch still hasn't caught up to Garmin in many important respects.

> Isn't that approaching a monopoly / duopoly where regulation starts to make sense?

Or it might be a cartel (few players are coordinating for maximum revenue, are not competing, prices are fixed), but we usually won't let that stand either.

It's good to remember that Google and Apple (and others) have been found to collude before when they made secret no-poaching deals. They settled for $415m.

I don't know how that would work though, without breaking up the companies.

Do you have any reading on this? Both my brother and I lost much of our sense of smell. Him to a far larger extent than me.

Don’t know why, or when. I just know mine is lesser than that of most people based on how soon they smell things or how near.

My brother saw a specialist. I think after trying a few things they recommended smell training which helped a bit. But they didn’t describe it as especially serious, so I’d be curious to know what you’re referring to.

(I don’t mean in a skeptical way, but rather that I don’t know too much about the condition)
They do not.

What I pay an ISP is a monthly fee for them providing a service. I paid Apple/Google/manufacturer a fee when I purchased a device.

My ISP does not receive more/less in fees each month based on how much online shopping I do.
On LGs you can just disagree with the online service agreements, and it will simply not do any weird stuff online.
Apologies Dang, it wasn't my intention to do so.

Thanks for pointing it out.
As far as I know only LG, Samsung, and a third I don't remember make panels. Everybody else just buys them and puts them into their TVs. Some manufacturers add additional image processing software but the panel is still "standard".
Can you give more detail about the fluorescing nucleus? I'm honestly amazed by this (and I have a degree in physics, which I guess is your point).
My strong advice for my fellow HN readers is to buy a nice projector. Optoma makes several 4K models, and you can buy a screen of whatever size you want (silver ticket on amazon for instance). They’re fairly inexpensive if you just want a 1080p or even one of the lower end 4K models, and none of them have any ‘smart’ tech. No malware, no anything. The immersiveness of a 100+ inch screen beats any TV, and if you want, you can hide the screen when you’re not using it. I would never buy a TV again. You also get to use real speakers, and because the system is much more modular, you can upgrade components much more at your convenience. Your friends will be jealous of your movie and gaming experience, but in the end you’ll probably have spent the same as you would have on a TV anyway.
We'd be dropping a lot more companies if we vehemently followed the logic here.
If you don't need a big TV a huge monitor is a good option. For me LG always stands out as a brand for it's low price compared to the image quality. They even have a 48" 4k monitor. Still not as large as a huge TV, but for most people big enough.

But keep in mind that the audio of most monitors is just bad.
Also, the referrer header may be different too? Although it's likely nobody thought to log it.
I don't really get why that is a bad thing. It is better that they do it there, on their own repos, than spam maintainers as it is right now. And you want people to learn how to make a repo and do PRs right? Let's have them practice on their own. Do you really need the t-shirt to be some mark of super-hackers?
It’s hard to get B&O or Loewe in small sizes. I’d like a 32-42inch and this almost isn’t a thing.
For some reason I’d like it to be 4k but this doesn’t really make sense at that size.

Maybe it's just that the whole concept - Algorithmic curation of content, instead of human editors - is flawed and impossible to fix.
Maybe YouTube has the exact same problem only fewer clearnames and a higher barrier-to-entry (no text posts).

How can one ever assume that it's possible to design an algorithm which hands every individual a customized newspaper that is "good for him".
That's a ridiculous generalization

To give you a hypothetical example, in India, there are maybe 10k jobs but a million aspirants for that job. And 90% of those million people are poor. In USA, you have social security to fall back on if you don't get a job. In India, if you don't get that job, you're on your own until the next attempt. Being poor in USA and being poor in India are very different.

I am in no way encouraging hacky ways for resume grooming. I am just stating why it is a phenomena in India. You're doing a good job by not employing these tactics to further yourself. Also, a key difference could be that you're maybe not from India. And if you are, you're an exception not the norm.
Would it ship from Germany cheaper than a high end wifi unit? Seriously, the Q has merit if "no wifi" is a deal breaker. Personally, I'd run a second open ssid, trap the ip and blackhole packets with a rPi
Yeah, I really wish they would sell a version without all the instructions because I think it would look really clean! I've been thinking about just cutting a piece of aluminum to go over the front plate.
Putting it on its own subnet with crippled internet would surely help. Or at initial setup let it do it’s thing for an hour or 3 while logging, then block all the access that you don’t want (eg Netflix access only).
Ultimately it probably was. What use are your exam scores now?

To play the part of the average consumer here... why should I care exactly? I know about the concept of TV ratings so some families are allowing a computer to keep track of what they watch. How does this hurt me? Maybe if I was using my TV as an output for my home surveillance system I would care. Otherwise it’s just displaying content featuring paid actors or other people who are already being watched by millions on TV. Samsung or whoever they sold the data to is just one more viewer for that content.

I get that they can build a profile of me based on what kind of content I’m watching, but it doesn’t seem different from what Netflix or YouTube is doing anyway. Probably they’re going to use the data to show attribution for engagements on ads for media. Good for them I guess. It‘s not in my top 1000 reasons to riot personally.

You can create blueprints and have robots do the placement. It's aggressively anti micro, and scalable
Glass however is extremely durable and requires no maintenance. When it is manufactured cleanly without any air or other materials intruding during production, it can withstand rain and ice for hundreds of years. I do not see this wood being able to achieve the same durability without intensive care and repainting which will probably cancel out the ecological effects quite soon.
The EFF is running a First Amendment challenge to the DMCA’s anti-circumvention provisions. In June 2019 the government lost a bid to have the case thrown out for lack of jurisdiction [1]. The court accepted that the anti-circumvention provisions “burden the use and dissemination of computer code, thereby implicating the First Amendment” (p 26), but dismissed the claims that the provisions were inherently unconstitutional. I’m not sure when the court will resolve the outstanding question of whether the provisions are unconstitutional as applied to the specific research the plaintiffs claim they prohibit.

When interview questions are generally of the ‘have I seen this question before’ kind, it’s hardly cheating to try and memorize as many of them as possible.

It just means the method of interviewing is flawed.

LG's TVs are pretty bad as TVs outside of their OLEDs. IPS panels are good for computer monitors where you want color accuracy, fast pixel refresh rates, and good viewing angles, but are terrible for TVs because of their low contrast ratio.

No. They cover different domains, so their predictions within those domains are consistent (and non-overlapping). It is combining them that is the problem.

This can be done without being done by an insurance company to optimize profit margins.

And the overtimer should be cut down. That kind of working leads to management expecting the same thing every time, and before you know it everyone is expected to work 12 hour days.
It's interesting to see Google to some extent, just sort of, bow out of modern computing. Watches, tablets, and VR are all more recent "frontiers" where Google just seems to be shrugging it's shoulders. I wonder if it's fatigue, some genius strategy too sophisticated for me to appreciate, creeping internal dysfunction or something else?

>> I don’t understand why you seem to imply that half arsing your education is fine if it means you get a job? Why not make the best of it and get a job?

Quoting from the article:

"In middle school children have dreams to become a Pilot in the airforce, or maybe a Police officer, or maybe a Opera Singer ! But by the time of high school, everyone is just either on road to become an Engineer, a Doctor, a Lawyer, a Chartered Accountant …. or a failure. This may seem harsh but that’s how most of the society operates here in India."

The problem here is that students are forced by their parents into a field of education they don't even like. How do you expect someone to understand the intricacies of fluid dynamics when they don't give a rat's ass about it. When you give exams on topics you are not even remotely interested in? Therein lies the privilege of being American. When you're a common Indian student, you don't have a choice in choosing your field of study

>> Any Indian with access to a computer can potentially be a (much) better hire than the one from the most desired engineering college.

This only works well for computer science. What about students who want to become doctors? Do you know that to get a seat in an Indian medical college, a common Indian student will most likely have to pay a "donation" just to get their foot in the door.
While I'm sure it's usually for some personal emotional reasons, it's still a valuable service. Getting that wrong inhibits your ability to reason about the topic. What's the point of having thoughts that are just a soup of words that sound like they make sense but are actually nonsense?

This is not like correcting grammar where it hardly matters and we have to use some kind of grammar to write. If you didn't know what something meant, you could have just not tried to explain it or not used the word.
I'm pretty sure it was never implemented in Edge and I know it was never shipped in Chrome, but you're right I misspoke above.

It was shipping in Firefox when I removed it from Chrome. It was moved behind a flag in Firefox shortly after and then support was removed.

Dude, the climate has hardly changed so far. People are abandoning California when it has the best climate in the country. You don't need a citation, you just need a brain.
The "loss of data" is the company's choice not to safeguard their data with proper backups and their systems with proper security. It's a false situation because it's giving-in to external locus-of-control logic that somehow it's an uncontrollable "accident" that happened to them with no blame of their own when the company failed to take their duties seriously.
Do you really have to ask "why"?
The oven in my apartment doesn't even have knobs, but only touch surface controls. It is so annoying as I cannot quickly set it to one of the three programs I normally use, and holding the "up" button for selecting the temperature is also not working well. Especially since the thing gets harder to control the dirtier my fingers are, and that just naturally happens when preparing a meal.
It isn't my faulty logic.
I found it a useful reminder. The ranking algo made sure it wasn't distracting. And it's a good idea to use the correct term when it's available.

Performance is not a factor in this.
I used to think tablets were a "done" technology and would have no takers in a world of 6" smartphones. But I used the iPad Pro recently with the magic keyboard. While it would never replace my primary machine, I can see it easily become a big part of my productivity workflow. The tablet form factor has a lot to offer still.
> Then what happens if we make ransom illegal, and we have the police watching the bank accounts of kidnapped kids' families like hawks so usually even if parents try to flout the law, the police can successfully freeze a transfer before the funds get to the kidnappers?

Pretty obvious: the parents will not involve the police, say "no, Timmy is on a holiday with his uncle" when somebody asks where their son is, and do whatever they need to get their child back.

And it's not certain that fewer children would get kidnapped if returning them for profit wasn't an option. The kidnappers might just switch to human trafficking and sell the children into slavery. Since the hand-over and payment for that business is probably much lower risk than getting a ransom payment and returning a child, they might find that it's a much more efficient system and increase their kidnapping frequency.

Yeah it tells me something about market dynamics. About network effects and natural monopolies and high barriers to entry created by those effects. It is very natural, economically, that only a couple producers would win this particular market.

The technology aspect of this is barely even relevant. If there was a market for 10 mobile operating systems, they would exist. They don't exist due to network effects making such systems DOA, not because it's technically impossible to create a good mobile OS. Simply put, no one wants or needs a new OS without a million apps for it. And no one wants an app store without a million apps in it.

This is very obviously the kind of monopolistic market that the government should be regulating. Too bad they've gone soft on such stuff in recent decades.

I’m not arguing they’re absurd. They’re always going to be present in democracies with agricultural sectors. But if you don’t own farmland, farm subsidies are principally (to the tune of something like 85%, in America, more in Japan and Switzerland) a transfer mechanism. Not national security spending.

That said, they’re political gold and so very reliable. Hence why I own farmland. (It doesn’t grow anything.)
I've got a one-dial microwave (the dial is also a button), it's so quick and easy to use.

The article for not deliver what the headline promises. It explains why an upbeat work environment would be good, what happens if it is not there, and that it cannot be forced into existence by mandating it.

But nothing about how to actually achieve one, or, "what makes people feel upbeat at work".

Reading an article that would go into that topic would have been more interesting.

I spend a lot of time working. I'm not a machine; having meaningful conversations with my coworkers makes me feel human. Especially during the pandemic, when I have even less social contact than I already did.

I also just happen to share similar interests/perspectives with my boss, and we trust each other a lot. I count him as a friend instead of just a coworker.

I only talk politics obliquely, and tend towards analysis and hearing what people have to say. I try to come off as friendly and tolerant of other perspectives, and my conservative coworkers tend to return the favor.

Android Antivirus Apps Are Useless – Here's What to Do Instead
Yeah, mine will show an entire section for Scottish romance novels (huh??) but won’t have the classic title I’m searching for. Internet Archive almost always has at least one copy of what I’m looking for, so I don’t bother with Libby much (although I’m aware using IA is more controversial)
For me, in this order:

Long Term support. Once I buy a phone (second hand, 1 year old) I don’t have to think about getting another one for at least 3 years since Apple will support it for at least that period.

Cost - I normally get last years model second hand for £400-600. Generally I end up approx £100-£200/year when averaged over the remaining support period with a £100-£200 resale value at the end, beating all decent androids in price too.

Consistently - My phone is a tool. I need it to get out of my way. I can’t be dealing with learning a new text message apps quirks every 2 weeks (Allo, Hangouts etc).

Privacy - Apple, at least at the moment every move Apple makes seems to be in the opposite direction than most of its competitors. The illusion of some androids being cheaper is shattered when you consider that you are being sold too.

Indians among most corrupt while doing business abroad https://archive.is/ppsJF
They are precisely the type of guys with enough time on their hands to hack the consoles and resolve the business end of it, but not enough time to invest in properly securing their but (e.g. the type you find in mafia).

They are _easier_ targets for criminal pursuit in this context. Portraying them as no-moral types is shallow thinking.
Good advice, thank you. Unfortunately I'm in the UK. I know there are some local groups, but most of them seem to not be operating at the moment.

Having grown up in the latter culture, and moved to the former (or at least a country where it’s more prevalent), I think I’d find it hard to go back.

While the latter is generally a lot more relaxed. It’s also really bad at rewarding exceptional people, so I find that basically all the exceptional people I met there have moved to different countries/cultures.

From a friend who moved back I heard that he suffered from some severe reverse culture shock. “Like, people just drink coffee half of the day.”

Ack, you're totally right. I pulled that link from this https://sproutsocial.com/insights/facebook-stats-for-markete..., which makes that stat sound like it's Facebook-specific.

Assuming that's true, why would they publicly expose the back door as an anonymous API endpoint that's used in a standard flow within the product? Incompetence seems much more likely.

I'm not even sure that would constitute a "back door" - it's more of an "additional front door with no lock whatsoever".
