> If anything it seems like Apple is doing the wireless carriers a favor by carrying the marketing water for 5G

The iPhone has been on a very incremental upgrade cycle for years now and people have been hanging on to their phones longer and longer. So the new iPhone's biggest competitor is the iPhone people have in their pocket. This is one of the few years where Apple gets to point to a big-obvious difference between the model years.

So the 5G dog-and-pony show serves Apple as much as it does the carriers.
Could you consider maybe you're believing the misinformation?

I never finished my video on Portland, but I do have one up on CHAZ, and I use to live and have friends in that area. I suggest you watch it:

This is awesome, thanks for making this. Boundary seems like the missing open source building block to achieve Zero Trust.

Zero Trust means authenticating per application instead of per network. For more context see https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2019/04/01/evolution-of-zero-t...

Proxying connections as Boundary does seems like the most elegant solution to achieve this in a way that doesn't require modifying the application.
Kind of like Macromedia Dreamweaver :)
Just adding one more reference for those who are interested, and because it brings back memories. This is the Z80 book published by Howard Sams. I believe that the book was also re-sold by Radio Shack. It was my first introduction to microprocessor hardware, sometime around 1981 or 1982. I remember it for being extremely clearly written, making it a good introduction to concepts that tended to be applicable to all of the mainstream processors at the time.

If someone were to ask me how to learn about hardware today, I'd start them with one of the early 8-bit machines, where the concepts are straightforward. I think that many of the features of modern machines can be understood as an evolution of overcoming the shortcomings of the early machines.

> I wonder how much verizon paid for that placement

My guess is either buildout commitments or prioritisation for iPhones.
Maybe not corporations, but the wealthy were definitely kicking up a storm over British taxes and import restrictions, and then later driving a lot of the pro-slavery arguments.
I think netflix users might notice.

If they can push ‘download local’ and it takes 1 second to do so, that might be an interesting thing :)

Also, 1 GB games that take 1 second to update will be nice.
It's pretty typical in my experience to go to a clinic like that and the staff will have no idea what your insurance will eventually charge you.

It's a complete mess that we need a uh, universal, solution for.
It's also possible to use dynamic-programming to elegantly solve the mentioned problem.
> Does that mean use the read-only replica connection during that time?

Yes!

> If so, did you have to configure some error handling for that timeframe?

Since this was an early goal in the project, the controllers are mostly away of the read-only mode already and know how to deal with it is most places.

The key difference between hobbyist and professional web development, in my opinion, is not so much programming knowledge but rather knowing the tooling that surrounds a project (git in particular, testing rigs, etc) and learning to work as part of a team (how to estimate work, what to do when you blow up the git repo, etc).

For me, the biggest shock was transitioning from ownership of the project into being an insignificant cog in a Scrum machine. It took me a couple of years to learn to not be very frustrated by it.
FWIW, you would be better off in a stasis chamber near the black hole waiting for 1 MM earth years to pass.

You could then check in with the planet for a cure.

It’s likely better to do it in a ship moving close to the speed of light. That comes back to earth every 1 MM earth years, intercepts pre-sent messages and if you like the state of earth then, get off the ship in an escape pod so the ship will never slow down.
Less severe Covid-19 associated with antibodies against seasonal coronaviruses
Thanks for this reply, not sure what the other one is supposed to be. I was just trying to give you feedback on the thing you posted, hope that didn't come across too harsh. I wish you the best of luck.
I see your point, but we're talking about two different things.

Yes, you can rotate your orbit if you continuously burn in the direction orthogonal to your momentary velocity vector. In essence, this is the same thing the body below is doing to you already, with continuous acceleration in the radial direction. But we're talking about impact debris here, which do not accelerate under their own power. What happens is they get an impulse - a one-shot, near-instant change in velocity. If you just apply an impulse sideways, the eccentricity will increase, because your speed is now greater. The shape of your orbit around a spherical body is fully defined by your momentary position in 3D space and your speed. If your speed increases, the shape changes.

KSP maneuver node planner shows what would happen to your orbit if you applied an impulse to it, of a configured magnitude and direction. It's not accounting for the burn time. Which makes it perfect for the purpose of talking about debris propelled by a collision.
I see Prime Day as their way to clear the warehouse shelves. You're right, best would be to present products to the user they actually want. But maybe the aim is to display those products which usually aren't displayed, the long tail, the random ones.

(Used to work at Amazon, but back then they didn't have Prime Day yet).
It's less about the polarization and more about the dominance of the hydrocarbon lobby. In Europe it just isn't as powerful.

It's the same story with a few lobbies - especially gun manufacturing and HMO.

The most successful lobbies may favor one side but they are pretty bipartisan.
Well that's good. I'm glad they're not permanently blind. Those green lasers are still very powerful and shouldn't have been used they way they were.
I understand that was more because AT&T/Cingular was the only carrier willing to allow a phone that they literally weren’t allowed to see until launch day onto their network. Didn’t the other carriers baulk at Apple and tell them to pound-sand for thinking they’d let them use their network without any oversight of their phone’s software system or similar?
While I agree doing anything with a Facebook account is gross, it seems rather, err, trusting to think that Facebook wasn't already linking accounts anyway and are essentially not just getting rid of the system that does that and forcing users to do it for them.
Over the past couple of decades, our elected representatives have prioritized the welfare of corporations over the welfare of human beings. Price transparency laws harm corporations and benefit consumers; therefore, they are unlikely to be approved for law by the elected representatives.
> "Fourth-generation microprocessors". The Z80. Um... I... uh..

The Z80 probably makes as much sense as a fourth-generation microprocessors as it makes sense that there are, what, 11 generations of Intel Core microprocessors.

> What were the first three generations, 4004, 8008, and 8080?

Probably. The 4040 might fit in somewhere (timewise, its a close contemporary of the 8080, I think, not sure if it would fit cocnceptually in the same or early generations; its still 4-bit like the 4004, but otherwise at least somewhat more advanced.)
You jest, but my 2 week parking at Stewart was double the price of the round-trip flight to Edinburgh. We only lived 1 exit down on the interstate, I should have just had a taxi drop me off.

But they closed that down a couple of years ago (Thanks Boeing). Now the only route from NY to UK is JFK to LGW, but the flights were still so cheap (and hopefully they don't go under) that my wife and I always upgraded to their "premium economy" which was still only $1200 round trip NYC to London, and you get leg room, 2 checked bags, and guaranteed overhead space.
Not Like Other Engineers
The 21st century is making me rethink how atheist I truely am. I think by following the moral code of face masks and social distancing, I will spare my family from plague and those who scoff at these codes will get smited. I put my faith and security into these big corps that don't even have an corporeal existance, and work with us through intermediaries like Amazon through ups and Microsoft through gamestop, Google doesnt even have a customer service branch and I had no way but to dig up my old school email in order to prove to them I am who I say I am. I tithe to the market, my funding of corps will pay back in future wealth. I perform rituals with my team chanting a praying that azure will stop acting wonky.

God help us all .
> Will I ever recommend anyone with Glow on Netflix?

I think I've only watched season 1 of Glow, really liked it, and for whatever reason never watched the rest. I remember the season finale served as an ending of sorts. I'm sure season 2 opens more arcs to resolve, but season 1 ended satisfactorily enough for me. Anyone not watching because Netflix cancelled the show will miss something cool.
> Side Car requires 2FA with a phone number

Note that once you have at least one phone number added, you can switch it to be device-based instead, where it will send 2FA codes directly to any Apple device you're logged into (there's a little system popup) and the phone number becomes strictly a backup for if all devices are unavailable. See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915

> Given that I connect the iPad to the Mac via a USB-C cable, it's not clear why iCloud is required at all.

Sidecar is primarily designed for wireless usage, and there's something behind-the-scenes where it's using the iCloud account to sync identity info so that that user doesn't have to manually set up any cross-device authentication stuff.
If you skip the last 4 seasons it's a masterpiece!
> If that doesn’t happen, then it’s probably not a big deal.

This assumes that agents in the market are rational actors, which they are not. Even when deception becomes the norm enough fall for the lower advertised prices to make the tactic optimal, despite the tactic's negative impact on marks and savvier consumers' alike.
Strong humming for one hour daily to terminate chronic rhinosinusitis (2006)
I wonder if this could benefit from a “magic angle” or some other structural layout that makes quantum effects possible. More and more advancements seem like they would benefit from precise atomic manufacturing, that could be the key technology that unlocks all of these futuristic applications.
"Starting at $x" ads like this are by far the least egregious any of those examples. I don't really see much of a problem with advertising configurable products like this, especially when it is called out specifically as a starting price. The F150 can be priced from $28,745 all the way to $81,000+ and anything in-between. People know trucks have options, and they know that when Ford says it's "starts at $28,745" they're not talking about the top of the line trim. Nobody is being hurt by these practices.
In tech? No. In literature? Yes. In SF literature? Maybe.
There was a previous article posted on HN about a new record being set for speed of sound. The medium that transmitted the sound was high-pressure hydrogen. I don't know what rabbit hole I stepped into, but it let me to an article about solid hydrogen acting as a metal and becoming an awesome super conductor at room temperature.

I thought we had reached this record with solid hydrogen. But I cannot find this online anywhere. The material this article goes over is hydrogen-carbon-sulfide. The previous record for superconductivity was using hydrogen-sulfide.

I wonder what other materials can be added to lower pressure at room temperature and maintain superconductivity. Lithium? Nickel? Copper?
A re-paraphrasing of the Fermi paradox.

I wonder if it's possible to design a practical stream format + encryption algorithm combo that allows an intermediary to downsample the stream without requiring knowledge of the unencrypted contents of the stream. Sounds like a really cool topic for a PhD thesis.
Shift work is absolutely normal in all kinds of industry. There’s no rule against night shifts in general, however, there are limits on work duration (normally 8hours per day/40 hours per week) and breaks between shifts - at least 11 hours of downtime. It’s also normal that night/late shifts get extra pay. So it’s only really common in places where the capital expenditures for the machines are high enough to make that worthwhile - or for example in plants that cannot easily be shut down.

24 hour stores not being a thing is a separate issue: there are laws that regulate opening hours for stores and they generally do not allow for 24/7.
I think it's still way to early to call any cases failures, and I would rather my country had followed the swedish model or almost literally any other model than "strict" quarantine we have which is causing millions to go into poverty and who knows how many to die from lack of care for other stuff. We will only know the true cost of different models once all this is over and the data is in.

That's really not true. US political and economic thought heavily centered around individual proprietors and farmers before the civil war, and was deeply suspicious of large corporations. In some states you could only form a joint stock company for time & scope limited things, such as building a canal.

It's only after the Civil War and into the Gilded Age do we see the rise and acceptance of large scale corporations, but not without conflict. Modern readers will be surprised to know that Marx was relatively popular among Americans in the west during his lifetime (among those that read, naturally), certainly in part due to the increasingly corporate focus that the American economic system was taking at the time.
Sure, they are there to be champions. And every girl goes to Cali to be a star. But at what cost and to what gain and at what odds are all questions parents need to consider. The article largely agrees that the way it’s done is according to the incentives. It’s the job of parents to say nope when the enterprise is to the detriment of the long term health of the child. Which is why I largely blame the parents not the coaches. The parents are PAYING for precisely this treatment and it’s grotesque.
The carrier contracts likely don’t give any leeway on that. They just provide the image and Apple has to show it.

Maybe because many devs use Macs / Windows? Maybe WSL may tilt the balance in LXDs favour, but on OSX? Run it a VM yourself without the conveniences of docker-compose up?

As a Linuxuser myself, i looked at the competing solutions (podman, LXD, and the one by Canonical whose name i forgot) and thought: "Ain't gonna fly in a mixed environment."

They may be technologically superior, worse is better once again i guess. Would prefer them to Docker too.
A completely new user:group namespace is created inside the container. This is, in very large part, what Linux namespaces are for.

No. root inside is root outside (if you can get outside). The behavior you describe only applies if you enable user namespace remapping, which docker doesn’t by default.
If HN were politics free, we couldn't discuss our differences or maybe even know about them. To defend what I said, I think it's easy to argue that Brexit was rash and short-sighted (the campaigns were more or less based on lies) and identity politics are short-sighted more or less by definition (since cooperation is proportional to inclusiveness of identity). If you'd like to have a discussion, those are my arguments.
Looks interesting! Would you also recommend it to other roles in the tech industry, such as business analysts or product owners? I can imagine a lot of the topics your book covers also apply to a broader part of the job market.

California has a much steeper drop off than the continental shelf in the Atlantic.

The floating Hywind turbines are tethered to a sea floor depth of 130m, but this technology is fairly recent for wind turbines.

Here’s a recent study on the potential off the California coast:

https://calpolynews.calpoly.edu/news_releases/2020/september...

There is a ton of offshore oil in Southern California, so one would think that it would be straightforward to add wind. However the laws are such that existing practice is privileged and allowed, and changes are easily challenged by only a tiny number of people. So we will see if CA is able to deploy anything new off the coast.
I think the difference from a marketing perspective is the big issue, as there is a big psychological inertia people have with Apple prices not ending in a neat "$__99".

Fun fact; the F150 is so customizable that there are times and places where it's impossible for some car websites to parse their VINs back into a make, model, and style (trim). This is an issue that we didn't have with any other OEM, but it required that all systems assume that Style was optional.

No, they mislead. They did not say something that is untrue. They said "starting at $699", which is technically true. They should have been more forthcoming, and said "when bought for carriers..." (which they did in small print), the absence of which was solidly misleading. But they did not "fib" or "lie", both of which mean an untrue statement.

The problem that U.S. media has been having is that President Trump probably does not know the real answer to most of the untruths he says... he seems to say them without knowing the truth either way, and does not seem to care. Pretending to know something probably counts as a lie (it certainly should from the President of the U.S.A.), but the mainstream media has been uncertain of how to treat that. But it is an obviously different situation than with Apple telling people the prices they themselves set.

> I believe that with heavy handed actions like this, Facebook will alienate Oculus buyers, which aren't your typical Facebook user.

They definitely will, I wanted to get my first VR headset and that move took Oculus out of the running for me. I was leaning towards their headsets because local pricing for Vive -- not to mention Index -- is horrible, but there's no way I'm linking it to my Facebook.
Zoom is guilty of alot of stupid stuff, but the "E2E" controversy is the among the dumber controversies. Zoom's characterization of end to end was referring to the transport layer between the clients and Zoom service endpoint. The more serious issue there was that until a point in the recent past, they weren't using an appropriate cipher mode.

E2E in the sense that security nerds bang their chests about isn't what customers want. Boards of directors of public companies, some attorneys, and some others need it. Almost nobody else does. It means that you don't have cloud recording, can't use POTS phones to connect to the meetings, etc. People with those needs have security controls beyond the software, so they probably need something like Webex, or should be using directly connected room systems. Someone who needs E2E for real reasons aren't doing it from home, for example, as you need to take other measures to protect that meeting content.

if you read further back up the thread, the original topic was quality. I would consider a vehicle that's pleasant to drive and capable of lasting a long time with a little extra care to be a high quality vehicle. our landrover, despite being pretty expensive new, was not a quality vehicle. it had numerous issues despite being well cared for.

in any case, I just thought it might be useful information to add to the thread. consumer reports does a pretty good job quantifying the reliability of a vehicle for a typical owner. it's a little harder to tease apart the difference between inherently unreliable vehicles and ones that just need a little extra attention.
