Well said. We lack as a society in holding some degree of empathy for people who are affected differently by situations, experiences, historical context than us.
Python is fairly slow and I'm pretty sure it was even slower back then. Parsing tens of millions of lines of text, splitting them, converting to numbers, looking things up in a giant dictionary, etc. adds up. I remember inlining functions by hand to increase performance in Python back then. AWK is optimized for parsing text and has the performance of a compiled language.
Even so, that doesn’t mean everyone else should shoulder the burden of larger css bundles and slower updates. Version 1.9 is still great.
More importantly, it was confirmed on the forum that changing your address in your account will NOT update the Librem 5 shipping address.

Purism is emailing each person to get their updated address, modem preferences and give them a chance to purchase additional accessories, before they ship the phones.

So you'll need to be on the lookout for that pre-shipping email to update your address correctly.
Can you name two viable alternatives to iOS? I can't.
This does not update the shipping address for an existing order (confirmed somewhere on the Purism forums), so you will need to look out for the confirmation email and update your address at that time too.
It's laughable that they even call it AI. They're obviously going to use consensus among other people's data to enrich your data.

For example, you have johndoe@gmail.test, but no phone number. Five other people have the same email address with a name and number. Sunshine copies that number over to you.

At least three or four other companies have done this before. The difference seems to be that Sunshine wants to use it was an entry point into the chat and events spaces.
that honestly surprises me, it isn't the case in the UK or any of the EU countries I visit ; I haven't seen or used an MMS for maybe 20+ years

it would be interesting to map MMS usage worldwide, maybe it's a more important feature than I thought

EDIT: correction, I actually tried MMS once or twice with a phone circa 2007-2008, just checked (so not quite 20 years)
It's the same for warranties. I was lucky when I replaced my HVAC system in that I got a manufacturer's warranty. A coworker who did the same six months later got a vendor warranty. Then my company and his company sold out to a third one and suddenly nothing was covered because the third only bought the assets of the first two companies.

I was able to get my heat-exchanger covered but not the labor because, oddly enough, their labor cost for me suddenly increased by the amount Goodman specified as usual and customary and that's saying nothing about scheduling fees and truck-roll fees (and convenience fees for paying with a card, and a "collection" fee while I argued with them about all the insane fees).

His heat-exchanger (also a Goodman) wasn't covered and he ended up just straight up eating a 3.5k repair bill.

He and I both submitted paperwork to the state attorney general's office but the company "changed management" to the dude's wife and that restructuring meant we were SOL.
"Of course" in the sense that it is literally creative - an act of creation. I'd argue that whether the exact pattern of neurons firing in her head measures up the standards you have is less important than the fact that she's actively using her phone to create content rather than passively ingesting it.
This is an absolutely terrible customer service story, and IMHO there should definitely be compensation for that. But it also undercuts the "they are trying to make people upgrade" story, because I think nearly any sane person would abandon shop rather than put up with this sort of big-Corp idiocy.
Assuming Apple is ever kept at bay, they'll just ratchet up their already prevalent "soft coercion" tactics (warnings, unforced security errors, etc.)

The question is literally:
1. Comply fully and lose billions in revenue
2. Figure out a way to continue cheating the system

We have decades of data setting a precedent that this specific company will choose Option 2 unless absolutely forced to fundamentally change.

That's what they added. There's now a full Battery section in the Settings app which shows you your current battery health, whether the life has declined to the point where it is limiting performance, and an optimized charging setting which is enabled by default so the phone won't charge past 80% unless it's at a time of day where your usage history suggests you'll need the full charge.
The benefits are "you don't suffer from <some set of problems I've never suffered from, even on large projects>". The cost is cluttered markup and what appears to be impossible reuse.

This smells a lot like every other tech bandwagon. It's the best thing since sliced bread until wide adoption exposes all the flaws and we go back to what proceeded it.
To be fair, it would be good for the world if our elders had a little less screentime.
It would be nice if somebody could provide the link to the "Some guy on HN said" comment for context.
or add spaces and punctuation. Either would work.
You don't have to trust them, everything is open and auditable.

The only black boxes like the modem are physically separated from the chip and sandboxed over USB.

If you don't trust them, format it and install your favorite distro + Posh (which is also open source ) that you downloaded yourself
ML and security is tricky. Its a good tool, but shouldn't be the only one. With threats constantly changing, ML alone will fall short. Its great for so called 'easy' stuff or locating 'odd' stuff to prioritize.

On top of that you need explainability and reproducibility. Depending on the ML in use, this can be difficult. When a FP or FN occurs, customers want to know what happened and can you fix it. They don't like to be told things like "because the ML said so." Reproducibility is important for support. When things go wrong, they need to know how to right it. If you can't explain or reproduce, its hard to say the misclassification is resolved and won't happen again.
Curious myself, I used the HackerNews search feature to find the first few theranos articles with significant points/comments.

First article, Sep 2013, top-rated comments include "The website design hides the message in frills and imagery, but the essence appears to be: Faster/cheaper blood-testing, via a smaller/quicker samples", "Yep, I still have no idea who they are or what they do.", "There are more soldiers in that board there than doctors. The only way I'd give them my blood would be to infect them with a disease." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6349349

June 2014, top-rated comments include ".. zombie ... apocalypse". "What an odd cast for a startup board. I wonder what connects all these people, other than all being high-profile," and "The whole article was pretty weird. Anyone care to speculate what's going on here?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7951019

Oct 2015, top-rated comments include "Everything I've heard about this company is just weird", "investors throwing good money after bad, both to save face and to chase the glimmer of hope that they were getting somewhere with this," "Very smart. And very deceitful," and "Suddenly a company that looks like a Kickstarter page has the valuation of companies like Quest Diagnositics." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10397149

I'd say HN was indeed appropriately skeptical (for the right reasons) by 2014 if not 2013, and certainly by 2015 (wikipedia says the first article seriously questioning Theranos was WSJ in 2015), HN was fully in board with the questioning of Theranos, commenters were not defending them from accusations.

But then, I don't know if that shows HN collective insight, so much as the tenor of HN comments tends to be skeptical/critical/negative. But they definitely were on theranos.
I have it and highly recommend it. It was my intro to GA.

And that's despite 15% likely being near to or below cost for Apple. Remember, Apple sells a LOT of store credit through retail gift cards where Apple probably sees less than 80 cents in the dollar.
FWIW I use the mobile web client for twitter and facebook and it is totally fine. I prefer it that way to sandbox them (check out slim social if you are on Android).

That said I'm a rare user. A more die hard might care more.
You can't. Nobody can. Not me, not you. I'm not sure you are understanding my point. If you work for someone you are their b * * * * *.

Yes you may grow but your values will be forced upon you subconsciously.
If you don't like the Apple ecosystem, feel free to ignore it. Just pretend it doesn't exist.
I have never heard about Tailwind before, but the interactive elements and animated mini examples on the landing page are stellar at conveying what problems the framework solves. I've been putting off the UI for small project of mine and this looks like a great chance to try it out.
Really surprising. AFAIK Japan has strict free to speech by constitution. I never heard such censorship except child porn blocking. Any citations? I can't find any source even in Japanese.
Do people really use OSM for POI data on any meaningful scale? I tried really hard to use OSM but all the apps were really bad. OSMAnd seemed like the best one but it was super slow rendering on my phone while everything else was snappy.

The only use I have seen for OSM data is in 3rd party apps like strava where you only really need street data which is pretty accurate on OSM. Or other specialized cases where you mostly provide your own data.
Has anyone ever learned those languages on an iPad though? Even if you know a few languages already, learning a new one by writing software on a device with a small screen, no keyboard, no filesystem, no native app IDE, no browser debugger, and severely limited multitasking, seems almost impossible to me. If I had an iPad rather than a computer running Windows 95 when I was growing up, I don’t think I’d know how to code today.
Also, at some point you finish the story. There's a natural stopping point and conclusion that makes it easier to out the book down and spend time doing something else before picking up the next one.

Contrast that with so many apps whose main feed uses some sort of infinite scroll.
Both the state of Florida and the US Marshalls can execute a till tap (or a keeper). They should just roll on down to the swamp & collect.

"We imagine the internet as a global medium where anyone can access any resource, and it’s supposed to make communication easier, especially across international borders,".

It is. That doesn't mean that a democratically elected govt has to allow sites considered "good" by a private group (like the authors of this article) especially when even the authors themselves seem to be okay with blocking child pornography sites. It's tricky to argue against articles like this as it can quickly be twisted into an argument against human rights or same-sex marriages.

As far as I can see, all parties involved are behaving exactly like one would expect in a free society. People deciding who they want ruling them, democratically elected govts deciding what's good for their societies, ISPs following the laws and those who want to access the blocked sites firing up vpns and accessing them anyway while a group of people whining about this whole situation for profit pretending like they are the watchmen of a free society. This is virtue signalling. A private group passing judgment on what other sovereign nations may consider right and wrong (at that time) for their peoples.

Is that really the same type of argument? While I don't think, "Don't buy apple products then" is really a great argument it's not the same as the privacy argument. You do have other options. I don't have other options than to be spied on by the US government.
> I get that the author may just not like the format. They'd be bored by Jiro, they'd sleep during Helvetica, and they'd probably die watching Herzog movies. But they should acknowledge their biases rather than pretend they stumbled upon some shift in tv.

I think you're trying a bit too hard to dunk on the author. A lot of your conjecture here is somewhat unknowable, but I would assume the author of a book on minimalism would find something worthwhile in a documentary focusing on a typeface so closely associated with minimalist design.
> I wrote the "num command" tool entirely in gawk

That's pretty cool! It's really packed with features.
Huh? You can buy full featured smartphones right now that let you sideload apps and alternative app stores. If that matters to you, the alternative is available.
The real fix was to tell the truth so people can make better decisions, like buying a new battery.
By what standard are you claiming justification besides “it has been done before”?

> so a government is free to impose whatever constraints it wants on corporations

Sorry this is just stated, not justified. I happen to think that the government should not have unilateral control.

You are not a lawyer I presume. This isn't remotely related to tying - and buying an iPhone doesn't force you to buy anything at all from the app store.

And it's completely unrelated to any commissions from the App store.

If you read more of the wikipedia article, you'll see Apple and Microsoft come up - but either entirely different issues that are wholly unrelated to their App Store pricing.
Curious in what country you live in that sees "Defund the Police" as mainstream.

>The censorship of the good information is the problem. And it probably started with censorship of bad information that lead to the bubble in the first place.

There is nothing nefarious about bubbles. They happen automatically when people are in control of what they consume. Imagine I join Twitter and I am given a list of people to follow. I don't like to hear from people with viewpoints that I think are crazy so I unfollow someone if they say something I disagree with. If some gets retweeted into my feed saying something I agree with, I might follow them regardless of the validity of their comment since I don't have the time or motivation to fact check everything. Wouldn't you know it, I am now in a bubble despite there being zero censorship of anything. If one of the people in my bubble repeats some false claim, am I going to see someone dispute that claim or will the disputing occur outside my bubble?

>This is where the analogy breaks down, its not a virus, its an idea, anyone can come up with an idea, good or bad. you can't protect people from themselves, you can only immunize them, we know it works, it was the only vehicle from the dark ages to the enlightenment.

Ideas do have virality to them. Something like QAnon is a prime example. Is isn't like "wealthy democrats drink the blood of children" is some random idea that multiple people reached through parallel thinking. It was a particular conspiracy theory that spread from one person to another. Stopping that message from spreading to more people seems like a more effective approach than trying to retroactively unconvince people who have already bought into the conspiracy.

I agree with the rest of your comment about the dangers of censorship. That is why I said I would have a preference for something that is closer to free and open than not, but that doesn't mean we can't recognize the specific situations in which completely free and open systems can go wrong.
Not original poster. Also got ads for things I would definitely like. 100% of them were cheap crap that actually did not work at all. Stopped using Facebook because I got tired of the deceptive ads, lack of accountability, and invasive profiling

And, yes, I do think Facebook should take responsibility for the content of their ads and products sold through them. If the New York Times only sold ads for scams, and all their articles were lies, we would no longer trust the New York Times

Facebook is like Vegas strip junk ads. It may look nice, but you’re going to have a bad time
Margins of retail sales are notoriously low.

It does not mean though that megastores only add a small markup on top of the producer's price: operating a store is not very cheap.
I smell a NoSQL database keeping those addresses.
Just curious: What's the difference between Substack and RSS? With RSS, you 'subscribe' -> get blog posts to your news reader. With Substack, you 'subscribe' => get blog posts to your inbox. Of course, they allow you to monetize your posts by adding Stripe etc, but the essence seems to be the same.
You can easily just add a BEM tag for that specific component which has no function but allows you to easily find and replace. This is what I do with Tachyons and Tailwind. I like the ease of building with it, especially for a small startup - https://app.assembl.net and https://assembl.net are both Tailwind.

With the @apply directive, Tailwind components, and dead BEM classes for find and replace, tailwind is a joy - and so maintainable!
I think they added that around the time the lawsuit was initially filed. You'll get a popup notice when throttling is applied, you have an option to disable throttling (at risk of shutdowns at low charge), and the health metric is exposed in settings now.
I also wanted just a list of the collection, but it looks like the 'best' list is the list of (just HTML) repositories in their github org: https://github.com/standardebooks?q=&type=&language=html

It would be great to just index whatever metadata is available and provide search facets on those fields. It looks like there's quite a lot of metadata in just the few that I cherry-picked: https://github.com/standardebooks/p-g-wodehouse_right-ho-jee...

Looks like at least some of that already works, since you can sort by the "se:reading-ease.flesch" field on the web site.
If they've done it to Foster, they've undoubtedly done it to many others. Even if they're publicly shamed into paying Foster, they'll probably be committing such slimy acts for as long as they can get away with it. So I think I'll need to boycott them for the foreseeable future.

Maybe writers can exert more pressure on Disney if they find a law firm that can launch a class action suit? They may settle just to avoid the adverse publicity.
yeah its probably this, market caps on some of these money losers is stratospheric. I think alot of people forgot the lessons of 2000. Take Palantir, a company that is 11 years old and for the past 3 years has lost 600M a year. What monopoly will this company carve out for itself to achieve this lofty valuation?

Or lets look at doordash [1] despite the pandemic and most of its workers not being employees(low paid gig workers) it is still losing money at an astounding rate: $533M last year and with a pandemic bump of only a 149M loss this year so far(it expects orders to slow alot after the pandemic).

I feel like I am Michael Burry in the big short playing my drums pointing out the obviousness of the huge crash that is coming with alot of these companies. What is scary is alot of americans and foreigners for that matter have their retirement savings(401k) tied up into these mini-titanics. When the fed's tap gets turned off, expect a reckoning.

You would have bought a new battery, not a new phone
Ok, so good on them stating they won't sell peoples data in aggregate or in specific, but nothing is free, so how do they plan to make money.

To me consumer companies that deploy apps for free which collects our personal information, contacts, calendar etc need to start being transparent on the details first. The "trust us just use the app" days have shown that the trust was generally misplaced and so they need to get smarter on addressing this up front. Now, maybe the have discussed their basic monetization plan in other places, but it isn't in this article and if it is only told to investors and hidden from consumers then the consumer is the product and no thanks keep you app.
I can buy something else. In fact I did. The problem is that if you are making a product which will be consumed from a phone you have to support iPhone users and do everything Apple wants you to do.
In absolutely no way is Tim Pool "far-right"; to make such an assertion is an offense both to him as well as to far-rightists.
You globally replace it by putting it in a component. And even if you use ‘@apply’ everywhere, you still get the benefit of design system consistency and faster styling.
Why would you let the actual content of what you are supposedly responding to get in the way of whatever you are soapboxing about?
I've heard that claimed. But on several occasions tesla owners have found a problem with nav, found the error on OSM, fixed it, and 1-2 months later the Tesla picks up change. From what I can tell Tesla pays some 3rd party to help improve their maps, and apparently on of the data feeds the 3rd party uses is OSM.
Yep. For a silly analogy, it's like saying that set theory will replace every field of mathematics.
I pay $180 and have to manually claim it. Nothing is covered until I hit my out of network deductible of $1200? Then it's 60% covered. So yeah, not cheap here!
Nothing you'll be interested in, only very many stories of people taking their phones in once the throttling news dropped (IIRC, with accompanying geekbench scores showing the effect quantifiably), and being told to pound sand. A couple are downthread.

Besides, it's not as if this is a strange policy. Apple never has arbitrarily replaced phone parts by user request, even with cash in hand, unless the techs could point to a specific problem. Try walking into an Apple store today and ask for a new screen without an obvious problem.. you will not get one.
How do they keep the modern browsers up to date? Are these just Internet-connected machines, they take updates, and everyone just hopes for the best?
Video reviews of Purism/Pine's phones using anbox, WhatsApp ideally^, is all that's keeping me from buying either.

Yeah, exactly this. I mostly am using cloud VMs for training, but sometimes just need to be able to mess around on my local machine for my deployment pipeline. I don't really care if it takes ~10 seconds to do inference on a handful of images, I really just need to tinker with the interfaces to ensure everything is hooked up correctly.
Outside the clown world of leftist only women menstruate and cisgenderd is normal.
Nobody is saying that it has to be their full time job.
Wouldn't that also allow for competition FOR developers? Alternate cloud services, alternate distribution, tools, etc?

remember apple has not only a monopoly on apps but a monopsony as well.
> Yeah, and without deterrence it will be a 100% chance of a variable hell of endless wars and tens of millions of casualties.

There are political choices other than "constantly threaten extinction" and "constantly fight large-scale conventional wars".
I'm always impressed how developers never try to use their own software.Some obvious problems would be quickly solved.
