At this point there are basically no non-Chinese mobile phone makers aside from Samsung and Apple. And even those devices are still manufactured in China, right?
They charge much faster now, which is good for sales because a battery that charges fast is very convenient. So it progressed.

Fast charging degrades the battery slightly faster than slow charging but it's not the end of the world in my opinion. I'm guessing it's much better to not keep your phone battery at a high state of charge for a long time, much of the chemical reactions that degrade the battery happens at high state of charge, than avoiding to fast charge it to 80%.
Google Apps aren't gold standard. I own a Samsung phone I have replaced launcher (MS launcher) /SMS (SMS organizer). Contacts and Phone app maybe Samsung's but they never troubled me. Only Settings search is unexplicably slow which annoys sometimes.

In terms of hardware/updates Samsung is good enough. Only Chinese phones may give better value for money but they come with too many software quirks, which I don't like.
Great feedback. Definitely hoping to bring more people from outside of tech into the pod.
If you compare word processors to note taking apps of today which I think are very equivalent to the same use you'll find more than 55 tools.
Word processors belong to an era where the computer replaced the typewriter and it's not needed any more these days. You can find commercial, free or open source note taking apps that are local or cloud based and offer a huge variety of features.
Now I'm sorry for the slow reply! It started as individuals and academics, I was typesetting CVs and papers, but as time went on I have had more and more businesses as clients. Now it's about 80% businesses/institutions. I think a big part of that is the Showcase which shows some of my past clients who agreed for me to show the work I did for them publicly. It's a relatively large list now and clearly shows big and small companies from all over the world and gives confidence in the service. At least, that's what I assume, I don't bug my clients for how or why they went with the service. Happy to talk more, just send through an email to the address listed on the site at the bottom!

> can't we just make our own open source phone

This seems have nothing to do with LG's move.

On the contrary, what drives LG to leave smart phone also enables the open source smartphone: the lowering of manufacturing puts more emphasis on software reconfigurability to the targeted audience of open source smartphone.

LG cannot sustain because they don't have a strong software product to make their smartphone profitable.

And open source smartphone is about open source anyway. It should not be compared to mass market products anyway.
Reviews of the Ford Mach-E have actually been pretty good.

Ranging from 8 to 9/10 depending on the site.
Well imagine reading (and searching) in an HTML document of 1000 pages upward (I certainly would not want to scroll through it) and you realise why people who read longer texts like PDFs. It seems like you have issues with your reader, but there is lots of other readers which render documents very fast.
I mean, "fake it till you make it" is a good strategy (although you probably shouldn't lie). It is a sound engineering decision to rewrite Android piece by piece, like replacing Linux with LiteOS.

Oh my god you're not kidding.
What Ford EVs? They haven't released any. Mach-e looking like it'll be a very solid car.
Because at large people don't select their phone based on what you mention. What does matter I believe is marketing.

I think most importantly is Samsung's image presence vs LG. Can't remember the last time I've seen a TV advert for LG. Or a billboard in the city center, or youtube hype from influencers, etc. While Samsung is everywhere.

Second is the cool factor. LG has none while Samsung have this as a priority. From the design of the phones to their special physical presence in malls.

People often ask me (as an IT guy) to recommend a phone. But they always have their mind made up by the time they ask and Samsung is the choice. The other options don't look as good, are considered a risk vs a known, and are also seen as a budget choice for those who can't afford a Samsung. Sometimes I feel they would be even ashamed of having people see them with anything "less".
Depending on your viewpoint. Compared to an enterprise setup with similar features? Basically free. Compared to your average all-in-one home router, however, these are very expensive.
They are not cherry picked, they are have a modern relation to colonialism.

If the UK were to have been more deeply involved in India up until 1997 (i.e. a soft political distancing instead of sharp uprising) then India would be wealthier today than otherwise.

What I mean by a "game" is that the goal of the software is to be enjoyable. It's definitely marketed towards a crowd that wants a simulator, but it's not trying to get you ready to fly a real airplane (even if that is possible as a side effect). That's not how it's marketed.

Whereas, the flight simulator that Airbus trains its pilots on is evaluated by a different goal... that simulator's goal is to make sure that you don't kill 400 people on an A380. You're not supposed to enjoy it, using it is paid work and not recreation.
I don't have much insight on this. I accidentally downloaded that one first when I meant to download the Australian one, but quickly realised my mistake because the CSV file inside the archive was correctly spelt. Then I got the actual Australian one.
You're adding a ton of words there in your reading that massively changes what they're saying.

> All new Tesla cars have the hardware needed in the future for full self-driving in almost all circumstances. The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat.

They're not saying it is potentially designed or that they believe it has the capabilities to do the things they say it can do in their second paragraph. No where in their writing are the words "believe" or "probably" or "maybe". It states the cars are designed with all the hardware needed. Not that they might have all the hardware needed, or that Tesla believes it has all the hardware needed, but that these cars physically can do the job today, they just haven't been showing reliability and getting regulatory approval.
I don’t think I could feel relaxed enough to be like a passenger after seeing the crash videos. The failure state seems to be suddenly doing something completely insane, and I’m not sure if I was relaxed I could assess and correct the situation quickly enough.
Haha. Same here. I started out hosting client backups in my parent's shoe cabinet. 10 years later it's a proper company with dozens of servers. (they now live in real data centers)

Couldn't have done it without fooling around with my home server first. An early ASUS Eee PC in that case.
Compared to C++ and Perl I find python code to be really consistent across projects. I agree the language isn't perfect at it but why do anything to make it worse?
That is not universal. That is more of a consequence of American obsession with early reading. It is insane soon outside of America.

And before Bada . And Samsung had a bad history of promising stuff for users of Bada and Tizen, that never got shipped. This is one of the reasons that I would never bought a Samsung phone again.

> Yarborough and some other families wonder if ending the unit is partly to blame for Portland’s dramatic spike in shootings, but officials and experts attribute increased gun violence in cities nationwide to the hardships of the coronavirus pandemic, unemployment, economic anxiety and stress on mental health.

I don't mean to demean the real problems in our society but if I connect all the dots, not just in the US, but worldwide they paint a clear picture: The COVID-19 pandemic. From farmers protests in India to Paris riots, ofcourse many protests in the US. I feel strongly about it - is this an incorrect conclusion? If it is, what else could be the reason for flaring of many issues all of a sudden starting from March 2020? If it is, does that mean that if the pandemic didn't exist, these issues wouldn't drive thousands of protests and the level of activism we see today? Just before the pandemic started, remember how peaceful everything was? There were hardly any protests before the pandemic besides the major ones such as Women's march and Teachers march, but nothing like what we saw in Portland.

Here is my prediction: After the global economies are back to full 100% with travel booming and rebounding, everyone is going to go back to same old business.

> Your Tesla will figure out the optimal route, navigate urban streets (even without lane markings), manage complex intersections with traffic lights, stop signs and roundabouts, and handle densely packed freeways with cars moving at high speed.

Sure seems to me having to be hyper-vigilant to prevent it from driving down some lightrail tracks or getting it going after it decides to wait behind a parked car is more than "All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go."
Or we could just get rid of a lot of cars and use trains for most of our travel.

Both my LGV30+ and my wife's LG K61 are waterproof for 30 minutes at at least 2 metres
With fast charging, removable batteries aren't that important now. IR blaster is too niche. SD card, headphone jack are still available in lot of phones, but again aren't deciding factor for most people.

IPhone is an aspirational brand with awesome marketing, so things like notch which don't make much sense are copied by everyone.
There seems to be large regional variance. I live in South Korea, LG definitely advertised a lot. I recommended LG phones to a lot of people who asked me, and no one complained.

Edit: For example, people love LG's KnockON feature.
Almost all communications between devices is memory mapped i/o these days. x86 has i/o ports, but that's mostly used for devices that were specified long ago (although some things are still relevant).

If there was a core to core bulk messaging system, it would be memory mapped as well, and you'd need to store the messages in some sort of memory, so why add a specialized message queue, when you can just use memory?

You can do things like add a message to a mailbox in memory, and then send an interrupt to the other processor to indicate it's ready.
That means my email address must have been accessible publicly.
I would argue that historically MSFS series has indeed been more of a platform and an ecosystem than anything else. It's predecessor Flight Simulator X also had quite shallowly modelled default aircraft, yet over the years third-party (mostly payware) devs modeled almost all commercial airliners in use today to a very high detail.

So, I think MSFS2020 will be a great simulator for those hardcore simmers who are willing to pay 50-150USD for a single aircraft modeled to a very high detail, just like they did in FSX days.

> Basic supply and demand theory tells us that the minimum wage, to the extent that it has an effect, harms wage growth. In the absence of the ability to conduct controlled experiments to prove definitively its effect one way or another, we should opt to trust basic economy theory.

So trust the 101-level dogma, even though it's not been validated empirically, and it's also quite clear that actual economic and sociological systems are far more complicated than its models?

The problem with econ 101 is that it's oversimplified yet so seductively simple that you can give a group of people a 400 page persuasive econ book, a good chunk of them will be confusing the map for the territory by the end of it.
Here is the classical misdirection:

"The push was led by Jo Ann Hardesty, the first Black woman elected to the City Council. She cited a 2018 audit showing nearly 60% of people stopped by the gun violence team were Black — though they make up less than 6% of the city’s population.

Nearly half of the 55 total homicide victims in 2020 were people of color, many of them from Portland’s historically Black neighborhoods, according to city statistics."

They generally never tell us the ratio of perpetrators by race, for some reason, always the victims.

Saying 55% of victims were 'of colour' sounds really bad, but since we know that almost all crime is intra-racial ... we know that probably about 55% of the perpetrators are 'of colour'.

Notably, the city official is adamant that the police were 'racist' because 60% of those pulled over were 'of colour' ... except that correlates almost perfectly with the ratio of people of colour who seem to be involved in gun crime.

The City Councillor (and many 'SJW' types - this kind misrepresentation is in the press, daily) has difficulty with her own data: if 60% of the violent crime is committed by a group, then it's at least crudely reasonable that they're going to get stopped at that ratio.

That would be 'not racist'. Anything else ironically, including stopping people of colour at rates considerably below their participation in violent crime would literally be racist, ironically.

Obviously, it's really not good that there's so much crime within the African American community, and although overly aggressive policing no doubt exists, it's obviously not the problem.

'The Solution' of 'Less Policing' which is to say literally ignoring the problem is radically ignorant, if anything, more police presence is likely necessary, especially by 'Police of Colour' who have respect in the community.

(FYI one thing never noted in the coverage this summer is that police forces, unlike up until the 1990's, now quite strongly reflect their constituents in terms of race. It's rare that they don't).

Jobs, social programs, getting fathers out of jail for petty crimes like weed, getting people to finish school - all of those 'society building things' are probably the only path where we can see light at the end of the tunnel. Any and all policing measures are more or less a band aid.

It's far too easy (and usually irrational) to blame the police.
I considered this, but it doesn't add much value for my primary use case (landing page).

While doing this I've learned that one can embed a <script> tag into SVG so this can implemented this way. Scripts run if the SVG is added to the page with <embed> or <object> tag, but not with the <img> tag. This opens a possibility of "graceful degradation" where the SVG uses live streaming where possible with a static fallback.

No that's completely false as well as gratuitously insulting.

I'm saying that there's a tradeoff between investment and cost effectiveness relative to individual transportation.

A bus gets like 6 mpg. You have to have a certain average number of people on it per time or distance for it to be more efficient than a person in a car.

A network is more valuable the larger it is. But the more routes you have, the less traffic each one will have.

Being willing to invest is irrelevant, unless you think investing in something that makes people worse off is a no-brainer.

I'm using a combination of Elixir, Hugo, a bit of Python and GitHub Pages for a personal site that hosts my poetry. I set up a simple hourly job in elixir to check Evernote for any new poems I've tagged with poetry:publish. If a new poem is detected, the elixir job downloads the text, runs it through a Python script to add it to the Hugo repo, regenerates the static html and pushes the updates to GitHub.

Overall I'm a huge fan of Elixir, it's incredibly reliable and easy to pick up for simple server tasks. Plus the scheduler is built into Beam, no need for any extra deps. My only complaint is needing to rely on extra python to convert the ENML to HTML, but that's a very niche library so not surprising that it doesn't exist in Elixir yet.
It's a bug. If anyone can figure out how to fix it without breaking something else, it would be great to hear about that at hn@ycombinator.com. My CSS is too meagre.
