Phone is not an electric car. Capacitors are a feasible solution for momentary high load.

Those phones just had tired depleted batteries and the proper thing to do was offer users battery replacement, not lie to their faces while upselling new model.
It's precisely the "this is the way it's done" approach you mention, which means they now have to pay a human to do the work their web stack ought to do!

"some can be" and "all are" are different things. There are a lot of businesses that don't keep track of their finances, just like there are many people who don't. But assuming that's de-facto situation and every business is losing money on ads is cynical thinking.

Only P2P platforms like Bittorrent and Bitcoin have shown effective censorship resistance from government.

* The space of multivectors in Rⁿ is actually also a vector space, and it's 2ⁿ-dimensional. The standard basis of this vector space (in 2 dimensions) is {1, x, y, x ∧ y = xy}, and that's why we care about representing uv in terms of xy. Hopefully that explains why asking how to compute "i = xy" is a meaningless question. By analogy, `(3, 5) = 3x + 5y` in the same way `xy = (0, 0, 0, 1)`, but keeping track of the order of an 2ⁿ-element basis gets annoying really fast, so we just write `xy`.

* Yes, span{a, b}.

Spread lies about the pandemic that scares a population and make it impossible to contain because everyone thinks they are special and should get special treatment while 80 year olds with respiratory problems living with their working kids die because no one is telling the truth and won't step up against a deadly pandemic wiping out as many people as a major war?
I am guessing that Disney is concerned about setting a precedent for their negotiations with other entities, hence the attempt at getting an NDA. That said, I think they've taken an untenable position.

Book publishing rights are usually sold as a contingent right, kind of like an option, where the publisher is allowed to print the book so long as they pay out royalties. It would be very convenient for Disney to be able to separate the right and the obligation, but that would be similar to purchasing the right to a subscription service from a bankrupt company, and deciding that one did not have to pay for it, because that obligation was left to the defunct organization.
Sorry for being curt in the last reply. To expand on this, I think a key line might be

which I interpret broadly as enticing people to do things not sanctioned by the status quo morality. Some governments aren't happy about sexual liberty, others about certain religious or political belief. The internet with the liberation of information also liberated a certain relativism that is corrosive to the epistemic fundament of established power.

Revocation doesn't really work well. Attackers only have to DOS the connection to the revocation list, and then they can use the revoked certificate freely. The revocation checks fail often enough that browsers don't even show a warning when this happens.

> They will not run unsigned binaries, but the binaries can have any signature, so you can just generate one yourself and add it. No need for a developer account, or any other external server or party. And there's no issues with legacy support because ARM Mac binaries didn't exist before now (and the requirement does not apply to Intel apps being run via Rosetta).

Self-signed applications are treated as if they're radioactive by macOS, too.

> This really isn't a big deal.

They've been turning the screws slowly over the last two years. It only takes another turn for them to switch off support for self-signed apps for security reasons. Browsers already do this for self-signed certificates.

Personal experience: decent art has gone down by a factor of two in cost over the last 25 years in the market I buy from.

Buying local art (actual physical art) from local artists when you’re young (<40) is a great life investment. Skip fashion trends and buy local. Save the 8 foot tall bronze for when you’re a bit older. Pays dividends every day you’re at home.

For the younger folks, I’ve always thought an “art invasion” approach would be a win-win for tech types and young artists. An attractive art type in your age group identifies techs with bare walls. They curate a bunch of art by local artists, “invade” the space and put up on your walls the art by local artists for, say, a month. End of the month, they take away everything you don’t want and charge you for the rest....

It's Business/Design side vs. Engineering side.

Engineering side--

1. Overprovision the battery

2. Make clear to user if the phone is operating in a degraded mode, and why, and how to fix

3. Make battery replacements cheap and easy

Business/Design side--

1. The phone won't look as sleek, and will cost more!

2. We can't tell consumers their phones aren't perfect! It makes us look bad, and maybe they'll force us to fix it for free!

3. The phone won't look as sleek, and will cost more!

4. Bonus--it encourages users to buy a new phone after a few years!
I'm a fan of such exchange initiatives, but I think they are not common practice for two reasons.

1. Limited provable return on investment. The effects are real but it's not like they're a panacea.

2. Human nature. There are a lot of people who are not enthusiastic about participating — because they are not cut out for the positions they're exchanging into for a spell, because they don't see the point, because they occupy a privilege place in the office hierarchy, etc.
It’s such an egregious mistake that you’d have to assume the rest of their data is similarly worthless.
Honestly I'm so glad we're in a renaissance of UI-based code generators. I grew up in the era of Dreamweaver and Visual Basic where you could just draw your user interface and then write code to glue it together. It wasn't perfect but it's a form of Rapid Application Development that we just don't have anymore. If it wasn't for VB.NET and its ability to turn my drawings into code scaffolding, I wouldn't be here right now. No-code and low-code are great for many use cases, and full hand-written code is endlessly powerful, but for the middle ground, these can be powerful tools.

I haven't tried Anima yet but I appreciate its very existence.

(I especially like that this UI-to-code tool isn't owned by Adobe or Microsoft... not everything was great about those old tools)
> why do you assume two objects of same mass but different composition will add the same mass to the black hole?

Because that's what the physics says. See below.

> Different composition means different interactions during the fall and different amount of radiated energy.

All of that can be taken into account before the object falls into the hole; the observer outside can measure it all and deduct it from the mass he expects to be added to the hole.

We are talking about the mass that gets added after all that; and for any given mass added to the hole after all those things are taken into account, there are many different possible combinations of objects falling into the hole that can add that mass.

> Infinite number of bits can be encoded in single real number.

We are not talking about math, we are talking about physics. The number of bits that can be stored in an object of finite size is finite as far as physics is concerned.

Instead of relying on your credit card, you use the vendor (or someone else) credit, to pay over time.
Looks like in some cases, they integrated in the vendor website, so when paying you can directly select Affirm.
I did the test with Dyson, it redirected me to the Dyson website, and Dyson does already offers payment installments at 0% APR (12 months).
Looks like Affirm does the math for you, if there is an APR, so you know the true cost. And it keeps all your debt nicely listed in the mobile app. So, you know what you owe every month. Hopefully Affirm helps you not overstretch...
This could help people who do not fully grasp the true cost of those credits, and hopefully help them manage their debt.
> What are we doing? Is it necessary?

Depends how you look at it. In the wild, humans evolved to be watchful and suspicious of threats to their tribes, mainly other tribes trying to take what's theirs. So they'd make weapons to defend themselves.

Modern humans have huge tribes (countries) and the weapons they create are also huge (nuclear, armies, drones)... but the threat remains the same... other tribes they don't trust

There's also natural selection at play here. Tribes which don't/can't defend themselves are taken over by those who can... it's a sad truth that won't be changing anytime soon

No your incentives couldn't be more mal-aligned from students and you have had this explained to you many times every time your pyramid scheme shows up on hn.

You sell their ISAs as has also been discussed on every HN post about your 'school'. You steal almost 1/5 of a graduate's yearly income.

You can put lipstick on that pig all you want, you can call it a duck, but its still a pig with lipstick.

To quote snazz further up:

>It's also worth mentioning that Lambda School has sold (or "financed") many of these ISAs to investors, so Lambda gets paid in advance of the student getting paid (even if it's technically a line of credit).

>It's a nice idea to align the incentives of the school and student, but the current implementation doesn't do that if the school sells/finances ISAs so that they get paid before the student does.

I'm curious -- what are you hoping that argument will accomplish?

Freedom of ANY kind allows bad things to happen. The most secure world is one in which we are all locked up, nobody ever interacts, and are only fed via tube from their government provided feeder in their government provided cube.

Since I'm fairly sure that isn't what you're advocating, please, explain what you're hoping to accomplish by stating that a free and open internet is a problem.
All of these anecdotes are hard because people tend to leave out or forget key details.

I'd guess the date is a key factor, as I'm sure thousands of people showed up at the Apple store because they heard on CNN that their battery was broken.

Centralization significantly contributes to reducing friction and increasing user trust. Note that even on platforms that do allow competing app stores, market leaders can command similar percentages (e.g. Steam on Windows). This is why.

If Apple opened up the platform, developers wouldn't be paying 5% to Uncle Bob's Discount App Store instead of 30% to Apple, selling just as many units, and pocketing the difference as profit. They'd quickly discover that users preferred to buy from one or two trusted app stores, and that the better move was to pay whatever they had to pay to be present in those stores.

A high power workload on a phone might require ~5-10W over 100ms, i.e. ~0.5 joules. At 4V capacitor voltage, you would need ~30mF capacitor. Not likely to fit in a phone.

This assumes you’re powering the phone solely off the cap. Even with a battery you’d still need something in the mF range to make up for the battery’s degradation.

You will have a slight learning curve, but I recommend you try to learn the classes, style your components without looking at the docs for a week or so, and believe me, your productivity will shoot up, and most importantly, you will start thinking in terms of design, look & feel, rather than how do I encapsulate this in css class.
Assuming you could also have the same reliability, I'd believe you could get the cost way down. Who wouldn't want to operate their service for half price
Contracting is a beast of its own and certainly has downsides, especially if you need to make rent next month.

If you have a stable job and want to go the contracting route, I suggest doing it on the side to learn the basics of marketing yourself and determining if you like aspects of the client relationships.

"How do I contract successfully" is a solved problem, but a lot of folks (myself included!) don't start learning the skill until they don't have a job. That limits options and increases the stress. Some basic strategizing can pay off in a big way, both financially and in terms of minimizing your personal stress, if you choose that route.

The government isn’t a magic entity or intelligent AI that wants or doesn’t want things. The government is people. And a certain breed of people are magnetically attracted to power, which is part of human nature that goes back to the beginning of humanity.

> I suppose if Shopify / Github have heavy algorithmic work they do do it in Ruby.

I'd be surprised. I'd expect they'll implement it in something else and interface to it in Ruby.

> I think you have a somewhat different understanding than I do on what software devs do most days. And it doesn't matter if it's php/ruby or java/c++, so many of us, I believe, just glue pieces of business logic together. If you happen to have a problem that's purely algorithmic (let's say finding the shortest path on some map), the first thing most devs I know would do is look for an open source solution for that (and if one doesn't exist in Ruby, you can always wrap it in a Ruby API). That's what I know about most of software engineering

I think most software devs spend 95% of their time plumbing together existing things. But I think there's actually a very big difference between that and spending 100% of your time just plumbing together existing things. I wouldn't expect to do serious algorithmic work every day or even every month, but I think if a company is truly technical then it should be doing something that goes a little beyond what's in pre-packaged libraries, and that's often the most fulfilling part of the job.
Australia too (under the Australian Consumer Law which guarantees goods are of acceptable quality). Apple has been found in breach of this law by misleading consumers as to their rights in the past.

For anecdote's sake, I:

- frequently click through on Facebook ads because they're often SaaS products I'd be interested in (and have found a bunch of cool tools I use now)

- think my Spotify suggestions are spot-on. I used to use Google Music which had comparable suggestion qualities at the time, but I feel like Spotify has gotten significantly better at suggestions over the past year-ish.

- think YouTube is the shining example of controllable recommendation systems. Looking at my front page right now, I'm interested in all 8 of the videos above the fold, and almost every video below it -- probably a direct result from actively guiding/curating what videos get recommended to me. My "to watch" queue is hundreds of videos long since I almost always add more and more videos until I get the time to sit down and watch a chunk, which usually turns into a positive feedback loop of more good videos getting recommended.

All three of the above recommendation systems make me enjoy the related product more than I would without them, and probably also directly lead to more revenue for the company (sales on FB, keeping my Spotify sub, and seeing more YT ads).

On the other end of the spectrum, posts on FB and Quora are two examples where recommendation systems seem to make products significantly worse, so I guess it's hit or miss depending on whether what you want out of each product aligns with how the recommendation systems are set up.

>"I bought that new power tool last week. Stop showing me the ad for the tool from the same store I already bought it from."

Yes. I hate this too, but think of it as a bug, not the actual intention. We would love to know when you wouldn't buy a product as much as we would love to know when you actually would. But we don't, always, and end up having to make approximations. We don't always know what you actually bought, we just know you bought something. Advertisers don't even always tell the value of stuff you bought, something tht'd have benefited them to share from ROI pov etc.
> By making a small concession here, apple prevented the law of society from opening up the walled garden

No they didn't. It's not clear if Apple would have ever been affected by government regulation here. It's even less clear if this would affect any potential regulation. This is purely speculation.

> it has zero ounce of altruism

Irrelevant and unknowable. While we can speculate about Apple's motivations, none of us have access to insider info on this so it is just speculation and ultimately doesn't matter.

The simple fact is it helps Indies. Whether it's altruism or pure profit motivation, doesn't matter.
It is absolutely disgusting to read about the brutality and disrespect with which Facebook treats its moderators, but that disgust can only pale in comparison with what the moderators must be going through every day. "AI"-driven content moderation at scale is completely detached from reality and from the nuances of human language, a target that only naive technophiles would pursue. These moderators truly are the heart of the company like they claim, yet receive the worst possibly treatment. Get your shit together, Facebook. Everybody who works there is complicit for the brutal treatment of your coworkers.
