"If you have unlimited storage, the data hoarders will find out about it and abuse it."

This is an obvious result but I think what really precipitates this move is the creation, and maturation, of tools like 'rclone'[1] that dramatically simplify inter-cloud data transfer and treating disparate cloud platforms as "dumb storage".

It's one thing to have some weird utility that nobody knows about and only runs on linux and stores your data as blobs in gmail[2] ... it's another to have a mature tool with a decent userbase and development community that you can point to actual storage ...

A reminder - there's only one cloud storage platform that has 'rclone' built into the platform.[3]

There is wireless Carplay, my previous BMW had it like 2 years ago? I hope it will get more common. No cable required. There is also wireless charging on the middle console. Worked quite well.
No, it was the congress by a substantial majority vote, not just "his political opponents".

They also sent a letter to the armed forces so they enforce the constitution.

> Nope. The Beagle conflict had already begun decades earlier and there was an unsuccessful arbritration with the help of the UK in 1971, during Allende's presidency.

Following those defintions, the Beagle Conflict goes all the way back to the 1880s. Still failing to see how this is something to remove the legitimate government over and install a brutal dictator.

> If Chile had a civil war, that would have accelerated Argentina's invasion plan.

So, alternative plan, don't have a coup _or_ a civil war. Respect the democratically elected government rather than killing the president in his office.
One of the things he mentions is a chapter in Henry Ford's Book "Moving Forward" about the very practical need to be able to measure to a millionth of an inch... I highly recommend reading that chapter

> I don't see how that's not a good characterization.

For the reason just stated:

"It's a matter of negative rights vs. positive rights."

You're say the license prohibits certain things, which isn't true. It's copyright law that prohibits, by default, almost everything. Choosing a public license to make something FOSS is an active choice that selectively enables more use for people who follow the cultural and legal patterns you do like. That a person while doing so doesn't also enable even the uses one doesn't like is not what you're characterizing it as: an active effort to prohibit those things. Wide open, MIT-like permissive reuse is not the default.
How do you actually make it go 'back' though? I only have options like "home" etc.. ?
While that's an excellent book, one of the things that I find fascinating about it is what it doesn't cover all that well: how do you make an accurate screw thread? The usual way you make a screw thread is by cutting it on a lathe. But the heart of a lathe is an accurate screw thread...

How to making flat plates from scratch with the 3 plate method is relatively easy to understand. But screw threads have a much more complex geometry, with no obvious way of making one from scratch. They also have many more parameters to consider, including relative pitch accuracy, and absolute accuracy.

As far as I can tell achieving accurate screw threads it something that took a huge amount of work by many different people effectively working together to get successively better and better threads, using each others' screw threads made using multiple techniques to average out errors. But I've never actually seen anyone describe from start to finish out to go from nothing to an accurate screw thread. It's not even clear to me that it's possible to do alone in a reasonable amount of time.

Helping Firms Get on the Cloud: Armory Raises $40M Series C for SaaS Platform
It's disappointing when I talk about planning the economy, and many technologists who are otherwise quite excited about difficult engineering problems dismiss it as entirely impossible because of something they read once from the 1920s. Clearly, it is possible at some scales. Why are creative people not thinking about how to scale it up? It is a utopian discussion until we actually overcome the resistance of the 1% to such a project, but it would be good to have more programmers on the side of socialism.

Interest on the national debt is $400-$600 billion per year depending on what you count (a lot of it is paid to the federal government itself). It's a lot of money, but it's a small fraction of the federal budget. It's also less than the amount of money in existence - M1 is $5.5 trillion and can easily be expanded, as mentioned.

(It also wouldn't necessarily matter if the interest per year were greater than the total amount of money in existence. If the money supply were $20, that wouldn't make it impossible for me to pay you $21/year; I could pay it in 21 $1 payments.)
You could say that houses are twice as big because nowadays you have the dual-income family, and a family pays more for one house because the amount of money on the supply side has increased, so prices on the demand side have caught up. The fact that now there is twice as much enclosed space is immaterial, a family needs a house to live in.
When entities sell/promise unlimited, they expect some good faith behavior from the users.

When your neighbor says, you can borrow my tools anytime he expects some good faith from you. You cannot go to his home everyday and borrow every tool and claim, but you said "anytime"

Your local park also offers unlimited playground time. But if you start practically living there and start hogging the slides 100% of the time, there needs to be new rules.

That's how society works. Can't believe this needs to be explained.
You aren’t the only one, I love the standard iPhone size

so its all preferences and Apple has the pulse on the market correctly that the market can tolerate multiple SKUs at different sizes
it isn't a commons if it's owned by a corporation. there is no tragedy of the commons here, because google bears the consequences of these rules. if people try to exploit it then google will either resolve the issue or go bankrupt. either way the problem solves itself.
I think it's simpler than that.

In web design, a "wireframe" used to be a line drawing of the boxes and controls available in HTML. Something like this:

https://wireframesketcher.com/samples/WireframeSketcherWin10...

So it was the 2D equivalent of the 3D graphics model you describe. And of course the wireframe you describe is itself a computer-modeled evolution of a literal wireframe -- a frame made with wires -- of a 3D physical object.

Web design wireframes were intentionally oversimplified so that discussions could focus on the data and flow instead of the final rendering, which was not decided yet (colors, art), and could vary between browsers. The best bikeshedding effort of the tech team holds no candle to that of design and product teams!

But black lines on white paper can be limiting too. They don't show well in client presentations. So colors were an inevitable addition. Varied font sizes and weights are useful to convey hierarchy. Rounded rects are free.

And then, if you've bought into a design language (Material, etc), you might as well use a higher-fidelity representation of the widgets...some of which are so simple that you might as well use the exact widget.

And so here we are. Lorem ipsum.
A public benefit corporation could go ahead and hire developers and incentivize them with money just like every other organization.

Ask HN: Is there a CSV (or any document) of voting locations in the US?
I was just trying to figure out which early voting location would be best for me (and others) to vote based on what's closest to the voter and would likely have a small wait time (based on local population density in the zip code). However, the only thing I can really see that lists out the locations is my county's election office website. I feel that someone/some company should already have these locations listed somewhere (my best guesses and Google and Vote.org didn't actually have early voting locations and just pointed me to the TX state website).
Hitting the Escape key on this site toggles the scroll bar and prevents the page from scrolling. Why is that a good idea?

I was very close to assuming the site is broken and leaving, until I figured out how to re-enable scrolling.
As far as I understand, solution A is what Russia uses itself - e.g. Putin and his 'HQ' does not handle any electronic documents whatsoever, all document processing of that level is done with typewriters, not even offline computers; communication is done by wired 'dumb' phones that only do voice and in some cases hardware encryption of the voice.

You can have a hack-proof office by ensuring that no digital devices are present, no computers, no cellphones. You can't hack Putin's emails because there aren't any. There are drawbacks, of course, but it's certainly possible to work that way.
Wouldn't this make 'now' a good time to do a study on Vitamin D? Basically, give a grup vitamin D supplements, and compare to placebo group?

Because curing all the coronavirus histeria, i know people who've gone sunbathing for too long in relatively cold weather, because some study somwhere found out that a bunch of people who died from covid had very low vitamin D, and by correlation=causation logic, they though they needed more (but ignore the fact that most dead here were eldery in retirement homes, bedbound and pretty much never in the sun at all).
Yeah I figure it should be able to accomplish that. I am sure there are people who use these home speakers for more complex tasks, but after the honeymoon period of owning it, my usage of the speakers basically broke down to:

It's not just tiny platforms. For example, you often want allocators with some predictable characteristic. Eg; constant time allocation for a given request size. Or you might want an allocator that keeps certain items contiguous so they'll tend to already be in cache. Custom allocators tend to be used when you have a particular requirement that a general purpose allocator isn't optimal for.

For tiny platforms often it's bare-metal so there's only one running "process" and so something like "malloc" that needs to be aware of memory usage across the system isn't relevant. Moreover, embedded systems tend to care about deterministic performance so an allocator specific to the application can be a better match.
There's more to AI than Machine Learning; even if you only use Machine Learning you need some sort of system to embed it.

Unless you are doing academic research.

Show HN: DroneHub, Using Google Earth to order drone photography
Hi all, my name is Sam and I am the founder of DroneHub. I am creating a more reliable and cost-effective way to order drone photography. Using Google Earth, we visually plan drone missions, generate pre-programmed flights, then have licensed pilots fly them. Using automated flights allows us to save money on pilot costs. In addition to offering lower prices than our competitors, we provide clients the Google Earth views before we fly in order to ensure they get exactly what they need. DroneHub offers up to 25 images and 2 videos for just $90.
Exactly. The people paying $12/month and storing petabytes on their servers is just punishment for hyperbolic advertising. If you offer "unlimited videogame streaming" you can't act surprised when some people decide to play World of Warcraft in 8K for 22 hours a day.
So here is the thing I struggle with. I have a NAS. On it is my media (music, videos, photos) collection. I do not have a subscription to Apple Music, or the reset of the streaming services and I not want one. So how do I play my own music collection with this?

Right now to do this I have an AppleTV on every TV. I have an app on the AppleTV called MrMC which is basically a paid for port of Kodi for the AppleTV. The MrMC app can mount the NFS file share and play my music just fine. The AppleTV is plugged into and HDMI splitter that strips audio and outputs it to an amp which goes to my speakers. This just works, and I can remote control it with my an app on my iPhone.

Given that the HomePod will not be able to access my music collection, it is useless.

I would be happy with the HomePod being able to steam music from an open Music app on a Mac somewhere. I have enough spare Macs that it would be simple to just run Music on it (which mounts the network share.) But of course, I would be wasting power.

Oh well.

It would also be really nice if the AppleTV would just support SMB again.
The data hoarders sub is full of people who brag about breaking storage services, so I'd call that abuse.
That's a tired and specious argument that might have held water if Apple were only successful for a year or two. There are a myriad of devices from competitors who also had large marketing budgets but eventually disappeared into the night.

But it's essentially been 13 years (if you only start counting from the introduction of the iPhone). Great engineering/product deserves a big marketing budget. They go hand in hand.

You are correct but OP is pointing to generally recommended controversies, backed by FDA and other agencies by 'research', running for decades. I wouldn't bet much on somebody holding a title being automatically correct.

At least in WA state, vehicle insurance card can be electronic. Health insurance card is electronic. That leaves an ID, one CC (in case "they" don't take Apple Pay), and a Health Saving Account card that oddly cannot be added to Apple Pay. Looking in the wallet, I guess I carry my credit union debit card, too.

The point is not to brag, but point out that two of those cards get taken out because there are electronic alternatives. Some states allow electronic driver's licenses, too. Subtract those three, and there's your "3-4" in your wallet. And a fuel card, FFS, for a fleet card that couldn't be an NFC/RFID fob like Exxon has had for a decade? Which in turn might as well be a reader on the pump for your NFC payment of choice.
You and me both, friend. I hate reachability with a passion, for the simple fact that when I got my first iPhone I had never heard of the feature, and it's literally taken me 1 year to understand why sometimes my screen would look weird. No amount of Googling or searching the settings helped, until someone mentioned the magic keyword "Reachability". Which then was easy to disable.

So it might be a cool feature, but if you don't know about it you'll go mad trying to understand what is wrong with your phone. And it's not like Apple is good at teaching users about power user gestures. I still feel I'm not using my iPhone at its full capacity yet.
It's not widely known but iPhone 11 pro has a softer glass, more flexible, which better withstands falls. Problem is that it scratches easier than previous models. They improved this in the iPhone 12 models, maintaining the flexibility while making them harder to scratch.
A good chunk of the data transferred in that issue for me are images, not plaintext. Lots of screenshots of the videogame.

Is it? It apparently is not good enough for the main screen.

The thing is that scaling works just fine if all your displays use the same one. Two 4k screens -> awesome. Two fhd screen -> works just fine. It is only the combination of one hires and one lowres screen that is problematic.

So my maybe naive take away is that if you care that your main screen is 4k, then no your old screen is not good enough. And if you think it was good enough, then why did you feel the need to upgrade your main screen?

C++ doesn't come out of the box with an allocator at all. Implementations have to provide it. But this article isn't talking about the difference between, say, jemalloc and mimalloc. It's talking about cases where you want to minimize calls to global operator new, or cases where you want to make a lot of allocations but you don't want to have to delete anything. The latter is often a massive advantage in speed. For example if you need to use a std::set<int> within a scope, and it doesn't escape that scope, it will be much faster to provide an arena allocator that allocates the nodes used by std::set, both because it will minimize the necessary calls to global new -- it may even eliminate them if you can safely use enough stack space -- and especially because there isn't a corresponding deallocation for every allocation. You simply discard the entire arena at the end of the scope.

Fans of Java may rightly point out that garbage collection also has this property, but GC brings other costs. Nothing in Java even remotely approximates the performance of an STL container backed by an arena allocator.
A fair point. The scenario I'm thinking of is with APIs like asyncio.gather, which can be asked to return exception objects rather than re-raise them, for coroutines which fail/raise. This isn't in and of itself a case of long-lived exception objects, but I could see how this approach might lead some users to treat the exception as a long-lived results object, perform type checks against it, etc.

If you were in the position of having an app that was set up like this, it would be nice to know you had the option of trimming the Exception's footprint while still allowing it to retain its Exception-ness.
Notes on good judgement and how to develop it
as others have said, the lower the f stop the more light the lens lets in. lower is almost always better, (But makes lenses bigger and heavier). The amount of light halves as the f stop goes up, but its in steps. 1.4/2/2.8/4/5.6 . so the difference is about 1/2 stop, not huge.

As you close the lens iris (the f stop # goes up) you get more of the image "in focus", so focus doesn't need to be as precise.
But you'll need a minimum shutter speed so moving objects in the frame don't blur.

wikipedia has a good photo example of this.

It only costs about $50 USD for a battery replacement from an authorized Apple service provider. If you're satisfied with the device otherwise, a new battery will keep it going for far cheaper than a new device.
I'm definitely not advocating for hoarding or scalping, I'm just curious about what specifically the systemic inefficiencies are that prevent sellers from undercutting the hoarders and scalpers by raising prices on their own.

Thankfully not - the file gets larger but as there's an MCU managing the writing to flash, it selects the right binary for the appropriate device.

There are some limitations around ensuring backwards compatibility: if you want to write a program that runs on both devices, you have to adhere to the constraints of the smaller one - but I think it's a fair tradeoff!
No, the question applies to those just as much.

I believe that the other poster's comments are based on a misunderstanding of the technology behind the "find my device" feature.

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/06/the-c... gets into the crypto side of it.

So yes, information about location is being sent to Apple. No, it's not useful for Apple and it is encrypted in a way that Apple can't get it the underlying data.

> Apple returns the encrypted location of the laptop to your iPad, which can use its private key to decrypt it and tell you the laptop's last known location. Meanwhile, Apple has never seen the decrypted location, and since hashing functions are designed to be irreversible, it can't even use the hashed public keys to collect any information about where the device has been.
Wrong.

Go into Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Maps and toggle the setting to "Never".

The full set of options are:

* Never

* Ask Next Time

* While Using the App

* While Using the App or Widgets

and there is also a toggle to turn off Precise Location so that apps only get approximate location.

Go nuts with the options.

I just tried it and I can use the Maps app just fine with location services set to "Never".

Picking some narrow definition that fits your point isn't going to convince anyone of your grand statement. It just comes off as disingenuous.
