Yeah, me too. This is one of those instances where for this specific purpose, I kinda wish the manufacturers had access to the data of which features people use. All the complicated multi-timer stuff for cooking different types of foods is so rarely used that I wouldn't even trust that I know how to program it correctly if I ever wanted to. I imagine that if they had telemetry on feature use, they'd realize that everything but the most dirt-simple UI is completely wasted effort on their part. Of course, the bells and whistles are how they fill checkboxes, so there's a marketing aspect to it even if it's worthless. Most people are going to look at two otherwise equal microwaves and pick the one with the best feature list.

BTW, amusingly enough, my microwave manages to overcomplicate even the "add 30 seconds" button, because after 7 presses, it switches to "add 60 seconds". You can't use it to do 4:00 because the 8th press goes from 3:30 to 4:30. :D

Edit: I should add that I absolutely do not want my microwave to record telemetry and phone home with it. But if they could magically know that 99.99% of user scenarios could be covered without all the fancy features, I think that would be useful.
Interesting. Can you do that for Notion in the future?
Quebecois stuff... this one is great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyNYrmmdUd4 :)
Well you must have has a real bad experience. That's unfortunate indeed and I understand your frustration.

It is not representative though. You do need a server and a domain name, but that isn't out of place when hosting internet based services like a chat server.
Actually I would say the future of microwaves is things like the miele dialog oven, which uses essentially MIMO techniques to direct the microwaves (at about 2.4 GHz IIRC, so the thing has a lot of shielding build in). I find it amazing how microwaves have just become worse over the last decades. Lots more functions in the UI without being needed, because the oven can't actually do anything interesting. AFAIK, pretty much every microwave still does PWM to change power for example.

C. A transaction based api would fail anyway occasionally.

You're most probably right. I run my system on a 20gb btrfs partition and I have run into issues before where I ran out of space because of one big binary file that was in every snapshot.
The author's article only covers ARM Cortex-M4 SDKs; its title is a little over-broad.

Hi, what type of personal projects are you working on? I started learning c recently and I want to learn embedded development, but I don't know where to start or how.
Mapping developer certificates to apps is trivial. If you’re launching a Guardian Project app, for example, it’s almost certainly Tor.

Given the presence of the NSA and their ability to send NSLs or FISA warrants, this information should not be hitting the Apple network. A CRL would have been a perfectly acceptable solution.
The radiation is contained inside the cooking area.

The magnetron is powered by 4kV at enough current to kill you, so do be careful around that and the rest of the HV circuitry (older models have a huge transformer, newer ones use a tiny one with inverter electronics.)
Yup. Lots of A/B testing of headlines.
In the US, I've only ever seen 20A circuits in garages/workshops. Kinda wish we had gone for 220v like most European countries, but it's far too late to change that now.
I’m not sure what you’re picturing it’s used for. It’s not to create genetic super heroes, it’s to cure genetic diseases like sickle cell.
Anything supported by the open FPGA stack (yosys+nextpnr), which does mean iCE40 or ECP5, currently.

Why? Rust's type system is basically a more sophisticated version of Java's, JS is in the opposite direction - a much simpler dynamic type system. Rust's lifetimes and borrow checker is additional complexity that JS doesn't have. Rust has longer compilation times than JS, longer than Java. Etc.
Sounds like these bubbles are like little balls the ship is rolling on? Super interesting!
I traded in my Pixel 4 XL for a 5, and despite the 5's weaknesses that are laid out in the article I'm very happy with the switch. I'm running all the same apps but everything feels smoother. I'm not sure why but I'm not questioning it. And the huge battery is awesome.
From someone working at Jane Street, Apple definitely does not make 10x per employee what Jane Street does.
It's worth noting that Google, the big bad guys of privacy, uses a proper E2E encryption scheme.
What a cloistered view. At my undergrad a total of 3 people joined FAANG companies (of which 2 were Amazon), none joined consulting firms more selective than Accenture, and nobody joined big finance.

How much ink needs to be spilled about Harvard undergrads anyway? Aren’t there other groups of people that deserve respect and attention?
It takes huge effort to cut your traffic to 0 even on nominally "ungoogled" phones.

I myself found it out the same way when Google service somehow managed to bypass every lock on roaming traffic.
Yep, it exists as https://p2p.riot.im/! The team is making tons of progress including the new pinecone project. It regularly gets talked about in https://matrix.org/blog/posts if you want to keep up to date.
Thank you for the quote! I would be a bit skeptical of any highly ambitious executive’s self-described potentially revised historical narrative of their ascent, however his words are his words.

I don’t know about you but if my boss made a parachute joke while currently in a private plane flying south, it would be a scary thing.
Wait, how is “information on which apps you are using can be determined by Apple and/or the government” not valid criticism?
As an individual I am impressed and happy for him. But I’d prefer that society doesn’t celebrate stories like this with public accolades. I think it encourages a “maximum accomplishments in minimum time” way of living which is antithetical to my own beliefs about how to live a good life.
Do you see that the man don't have it? Your suggestion is irrelevant
Public insults for the sake of insulting someone should be punished in an age where common sense is almost gone. Even more so when appellatives that can seriously ruin someone's image like fascist, racist, antisemitist (etc) are thrown around.
Politician or not is irrelevant.
Spin, spin, spin. I learned to distrust Apple's hardware after I bought my last (i)Mac. I've see no reason to think it or its software's gotten more trustworthy.

(The company that released the Apple II manual was trustworthy. That company was buried out behind the shed long ago.)

> I do love a good hater, it's a promising sign.

I'm not sure regurgitating well known limitations of Hydrofoils (vis-a-vis strong winds), and asking questions about the only presentation a startup asking for money has felt the need to release qualifies as hating.

It didn't go unnoticed that you didn't actually answer any of the questions, and instead doubled down on vagueness. Also pulling out the Pegasus-class really shows how little research has been done (a petrol boat class of ships specifically not designed for deep ocean that was retired early due to the limitations naturally inherent in Hydrofoils!).
Beryllium is not used in magnets.

There's no evidence that consumer microwave magnetrons ever used beryllium insulators either, as that is an extremely expensive material. The ceramic insulator is alumina (essentially synthetic ruby).

Yeesh, "It's not THAT bad, it ONLY leaks the developer of every app you open, via cleartext. Oh, and it cripples your offline software when someone spills coffee over Apple's servers"

This is the reason people laugh at this website.
That may be true (I'm not actually sure), but it's not at all clear to me why that matters.

Elm won't be used in industry because the language designer used to work at a company and now he doesn't work there anymore? Perhaps I'm being obtuse, but this is a total non sequitur to me.

> had its dark fibre connections between data centres tapped by the NSA. Is that the "participation" that was referred to by the Snowden documents?

No, that's a separate thing. They do both. See the "you should use both" slide.

https://github.com/iamcryptoki/snowden-archive/blob/master/d...

As to the apple claims that they didn't participate in PRISM, I think they were just lying. Clapper lied to congress as well, so this isn't unheard of. They would likely have breached their government contract by telling the truth. That being said, them having never heard about the program name might be true because it might not have been known to them under that name, but that's just a detail.
The + addressing scheme is well known, and more talented spammers will easily avoid it.

The problem of the catch all address has already been discussed.

What I want to see is a crypto hash of the domain (with a salt) and use a part of that as the e-mail address. And I want to automate the creation AMD use of that address in my MUA. So, when I respond to one of those messages, the MUA makes sure to use the right hash-based address as the sender.
The standard does not specify plaintext. It says the client may use encryption.

Even doing unauthenticated TLS is better than what they do now, because the current situation allows for full passive monitoring.
I don't know what you mean. Snowden docs showed google moving domestic US data to the UK and back again so the data is considered foreign and thus readable by spy agencies.

The ability for google to legally and materially read my emails transcends law, classifying emails and my knowledge. Ethics doesnt even start when its done outside society. Advertising is second order financial gain derived from their absolute power over retained information. There's a bigger picture.

Ask HN: What underestimated technologies will dominate within 5 years?
This chart[1] from anandtech.com plots the impressive performance trajectory of Apple silicon over several years.

Of course, no technology is guaranteed to continue improving forever. The sustained performance gains reflect Apple's tremendous dedication and investment in the endeavor.

After the A11 chip, though, it became clear there was a non-zero probability that Apple could one day meet or surpass Intel.

Which begs the question: what underestimated technologies exist today that could overtake incumbent technologies within 5 years? Put another way: what technologies are in the A11 stage and not yet widely recognized for its potential?

What makes you think that statically typed languages don't have (type-safe) tuples or dictionaries?

Maybe you can give a minimal code example of what you mean and I'll show you how I would solve that in a statically typed way. :)
I've never used the feature on Matrix because as you say, it doesn't really apply. Matrix (or really Element here) doesn't require you to use an identity server at all, so I don't really think it invalidates the protocol in a meaningful way.
Having a certain superpower send funds, training, and arms to right wing militias and established dictators certainly helps maintain the resource curse.
power

money is power. or, capital is power. social capital seems to be our driving force these days. money is cheap, followers are harder to come by [en masse].

socialism becomes this monolithic vacuum which eventually devours it's participants. mostly for the reasons you're pointing out; prestige, or the pursuit of power.

as you point out, even a high level of financial and social capital is not enough. we've created a vacuum of unrealistic perception.

i think this is where media comes into play... the opiate for the masses. your 15 minutes of prestige is not even near good enough to compete with the monolithic personas we've allowed to vacuum up all the power. gates, jobs, Trump, rockefellers, even the house of windsor [how do you even complete with the outside of a monarchy?].

power corrupts. absolute power corrupts absolutely. chasing prestige is very quickly becoming a pipe dream. a race to the bottom if you will. eventually, the only way to gain prestige will be to topple these monoliths. else we wait/fight/plot/etc for the next monolith.

... which will be a space miner ceo, ai breakthrough ceo, fusion power ceo, or quantum programmer ceo.
What about the mbed sdk? I’m curious how it compares to these.
Maybe, but remember that nonconstructive proofs exist, and aren't uncommon in mathematics.
Holy clickbait, here's the meat:

> Despite claims by scientists and pharma companies there is little chance CRISPR will ever be widely used in the clinic to directly treat disease. That is because it suffers from all the same faults as its predecessors and maybe even more so. Gene editing has low efficiency in adult animals(yes humans are animals) no matter the technique used. For instance, if you have a disease that affects the brain you can probably only modify <1% of cells even using the best delivery techniques available. Really, the only way to get rid of genetically inherited diseases using gene editing is by modifying embryos.

> Misleading as it has been CRISPR can’t actually make specific changes to a gene easily in an adult animal. That is because it requires what is called a donor template, basically just a DNA template that cells can use to create the genome modifications. There is no efficient way to use donor templates in an adult animal so all genome edits would need to be gene knock-outs only i.e. you can only use CRISPR to destroy bad genes not modify them to make them good genes. As you can imagine this is very limited in scope when it comes to diseases that can and should be reasonably targeted using genome editing.
Nice write up on the microwave.

Maybe you can play games on it too while you wait for a new project :)

Curious what might be a nice setup for measuring each ribbon output (I'm new new working with hardware). Did you trial & error each 2 lines or have some more elaborate setup to help diagnose? I'm just trying to get a nice survey of tools to familiarize with you might throw at me.
5600x is in the same price range and a no-brainer, once stock stabilizes.

There's no sense in intel right now when doing a new build.
Apple is old enough that you need only block 17./8: they have a class A(!).
You'll find plenty of examples online of cases where the vaccine is responsible for the outbreak of the disease it supposedly protect against.
Some similar tests are:

- fsx.c which was written by one of the BSD projects, and found bugs in all of the Unix-like filesystems at the time just by doing simple file operations, eerily similar to PQS

https://github.com/macosforge/fstools/blob/master/src/fsx/fs...

- MySQL's mysql-bench made MySQL the first Internet-ready (functionally-hardened) database, and found several serious bugs in the other common RDBMSes
So it’s slightly less worse than sending the hash of the app. Still very bad. And as I said previously, depending on a network call to start any app is not ideal.
Been a few years since I was playing with this stuff, but can you not still just unlock the phone with fastboot? Has something changed that it’s actually bricked or is this the modern sense of the word bricked (mildly inconvenient and maybe some data loss)?
You can do unauthenticated TLS, which is no worse than plaintext HTTP, and foils passive listeners by providing privacy. You could also trust your existing trusted certs (prior to OCSP update) when doing the OCSP update, which, again, is no worse than plaintext HTTP.

Apple knows this. They have cryptography experts.

Taken in context with their backdooring of their e2e messenger and collaboration with military intelligence on FISA 702, I tend not to give them the benefit of the doubt any longer. Apple knows how to take pcaps.

There are only so many times the OS design gets to leak either keys or plaintext remotely before you need to stop assuming ignorance over malice.

I don’t know how many times that is, but it’s less than ten, probably less than 5, and because it’s a count of legitimate “assume ignorance”, then “goto fail”[2] also counts in the tally.

Between this OCSP plaintext telemetry leak, and iMessage default key escrow, scrapping their plan for e2e backups at the behest of the FBI that fixes the key escrow backdoor[3], and “goto fail” not authenticating TLS, we’re at 4.

I’m not even counting the recent story about Apple’s history of willing collaboration with intelligence agencies to make a custom classified firmware for the iPod to aid in espionage.[1]

Ah, don't know about stand-alone. Hopefully it'll be there soon tho, these things trickle down.

Yes, Bosch and Siemens are one and the same, at least for a lot of models. Mostly just a single letter different in the model number and red vs blue highlights where relevant (say dishwasher).

Was told at least here in Norway that Siemens was targeted more towards kitchen builders, while Bosch was targeted for consumers directly.
I think calling non-toxic things toxic is toxic.
Just because you think the federal USA doesn't have one, doesn't mean they don't (or cannot) exist. Lots of goverments in northwest-Europe are generally competent.

Of course a generally competent government probably wouldn't decide it'd be a good idea to backdoor CPUs, but that's another issue.
2020 Node.js quick upgrade guide
First of all, of course Rust hast some additional complexity because it is close to bare metal. But if you think this complexity away (to make it comparable to e.g. javascript), here are some reasons:

1) Better type-inference. In Java this has improved but is still much more clunky and boilerplatey. Good type-inference is important to not annoy the user.

2) Traits / type-classes. They enable a way of programming that comes much closer to duck-typing and avoid wrapping your objects in wrapper-classes to support interfaces like you are forced to do it in Java.

3) Better and less noisy error handling (looking at you Java, Go, C++ and most other languages)

> It’s easy to forget that we were all cheering for Facebook and the Zuckerberg success story before it became uncool to be pro-Facebook.

So stop clicking them.
> What are the alternatives besides something oppressive like using military power to prevent other countries from taxing their citizens too little?

Dropping the dogma of free trade and free flow of capital, and taxing any transactions involving tax havens to the point where it's not profitable to use them for tax avoidance.

You can only have countries' tax systems and regulations competing in global "free market" of jurisdictions if the countries are actually free to set arbitrary tax rates and tariffs.

While Matrix definitely tries to appeal to IRC users, it's absolutely not just a IRC replacement. It's been a conscious decision from Day 1 that history is important given that the default for any messaging system today is to store history. Honestly it feels like a massive improvement over the days of bouncers and logs hosted in the cloud.

That all being said, there are ways to make your rooms drop history if you wish through the config (and I believe it can be configured per room too).

He _literally_ did, himself, in the article he wrote:

as in "people who say this are Apple apologists, but I'm only like one if I state it."

If that was true, they'd allow "Apps from Unknown Sources" on iOS like Android does.

To avoid philosophical contradictions, at least in respect to phenomenology in the transcendental aesthetic, particles in this sense must be an association of measurable properties (mass, magnetism, charge, etc.) extended in space (and therefore time by the nature of "measure").

Of course there is the other sense of particles in metaphysical domains, such as the 'holes' in semiconductor physics, which cannot be directly measured but can be implied
This is remarkable, very well put together OP!
