The traditional approach to an SD card is to put it in the tray. The OnePlus line of phones had its second SIM slot also accept an SD card. That is, one tray, one waterproof gasket, with the tray long enough to accept two cards. This is the same on the Note 10+, and is in fact an upsell feature from the Note 10.

Headphone jack needing to be waterproofed is a bit of a lie, as there have been IP68 phones with a headphone jack. It's simply wanting to cut down on prices.
Yeah, I like the Samsung UI. I think it's brilliant to have the scroll area in the below half of the screen initially, to make it easy to touch the first few items of the list.

I even like some of their apps. Samsung Health is, in my opinion, infinitely better than Google Fit. The latter doesn't even let me delete mistakenly input data. I'm not sure what Google's strategy on this app is.
Why not use freedos?
“yesterday’s Facebook breach”? This data has been on sale for many months.
Especially since deep blue didn't use floating point operations.
All these talk about waterproofing and I never heard one person decide to actually take advantage of that feature.

I am definitely on the cynical side of thinking that it was just marketing spin to justify taking away features to increase profits.
I agree that the hardware omissions are blatant copy from Apple as the way to have more markup and revenue from accessories, software services but I like to differ on the OS front.

Android's power user ecosystem couldn't be matched in iOS. Even without root, Tasker can automate every single aspect of the OS - Want to send and receive WhatsApp messages over email?[1], Want better accessibility e.g. Voice summary of news?[2], Want a butt triggered pomodoro timer?[3]. Termux runs a Linux container and it can run complete Linux distribution inside it with PRoot[4]. Best of all, Tasker & Termux can communicate with each other for endless possibilities.

Of course Google can mess it up with their policy/API changes for Playstore, but that's where 3rd party app stores like f-droid comes in and can ensure open-source apps like Termux can be published without hurdles. Not to mention the privacy focused apps on f-droid.

And if one doesn't want anything to do with Google, LineageOS has proven itself to be a viable replacement for stock android.

Chances are that the other, core (unconscious) belief caused the symptoms, and then her consciousness made up the toxic air theory to fit everything together, because some VOC counter had some digits on it and there was a burial of unknown waste down the road and something smells at 3 am. E.g. when moved in, she have seen a clock in the hall or a doorbell that subtly reminded her about some event in the past when her self-esteem was hit hard and she felt worthless. Now every time she walks in, it kicks in and causes a set of psychosomatic symptoms. That’s how it works, if this is the case, and that is what I referred to as “so common”. People often talk about “bad” places, bad energy, more psychotic ones may think that it’s their neighbors irradiating them. White coat syndrome is very “popular” as well, because doctors may get associated with harm and pain deep inside. We are constantly attacked by these associations that make us do [strange] choices or have preferences (pen color, perfume smell, facial features, etc), but only hard ones cause sickness, because they make our unconsciousness burn.

It’s very hard to realize that an issue may be completely inside your very smart and logical mind. It must be something in the air, or germs/viruses, or vibrations. I bet that at least one of the doctors suggested her to check her mental health, but we always dismiss that, because we are fine, alright. We are not the type of person who could need that, gosh, that’s laughable. Only idiots and schizophrenics may have mental health issues, not us. Of course this little nuance couldn’t make it into the article.

E.g. in my case it took nine months of occasionally “dying”, a bunch of pricey and unpleasant procedures, then two more weeks of the chronic state and three doctors suggesting it, before I decided to go check my mind. Symptoms rate dropped 50% after the first appointment and 45% more after I completed my first “homework”.
It costs quite a lot to take any given new drug to market (one study suggested a median of 0.985 billion, and a mean of 1.3 billion), and most of them do not make it. They must recoup expenses somehow, or go broke, and then ... no new drugs. To that end, they get a limited period of exclusivity over their invention.

Now, is this done efficiently? I don't know. Perhaps the FDA approval process could be less costly. Or we could limit litigation in some manner. And so on.

But they're sure not gonna churn out new drugs for the cost of some generics.
I want the dump. I don't trust those pwn websites and I hold a multi gigabyte large breach dump myself for the last 15 years.

Dumps should be made public, like exploits.
> VFR students shouldn't be anywhere near a simulator,

I agree but I wasn't talking about stick and rudder skills, I was talking about cross country VFR preparation (learning landmarks etc.). I guess you can do it just using Google Maps, but it would be fun to do it in sim IMHO.

PS regarding the expression "VFR students": there is a preconception where VFR skills are just something that you learn as a beginner pilot, and then once you have enough experience, you start focusing on IFR. I think this mindset is wrong. There are some very experienced bush pilots who regularly - and sometimes mostly - fly VFR; aviation is not just airliners.
Kind of, the filibuster isn't so much in the rules as it's a consequence of other rules and (imo) a poorly designed government. The Senate was originally setup with truly unlimited debate, this is a pretty bad idea on the face of it because it allows a pretty small group to potentially completely stall the whole of the US government's law making apparatus. [0] So cloture was added which added a way to officially close debate on a bill to avoid that. It requires more coordination but still introduces an extra veto point into the government that most modern democracies don't have. It's an extremely powerful tool for the minority.

That very power is a reason I think there's a few hold outs on the Democrat side that don't want to get rid of it. The senate is naturally stacked against the democrats as the parties are currently aligned so a few don't want to risk giving up that power. There's also a number who (at least claim to) believe that the unlimited debate is an important part of the Senate.

Personally I think it's a relic that's getting in the way of passing the exact legislation that will make Democrats more popular (and make it easier to vote to counteract some extremely blatant voter suppression happening in red states).

[0] consider 3 senators working 8 hour shifts of 8 on 16 off. That would be maintainable for a very long time.

Yep. I'm still using my Alcatel Idol 4S Windows Phone as my daily driver.
I had a Galaxy S2 that had an IR blaster, you're right that it wasn't particularly practical. But as a late teen/college student who enjoyed some occasional mischief I remember having A LOT of fun with it. It was the perfect storm of an era where it wasn't unusual to have your phone out constantly but it wasn't really common knowledge smartphones had the feature, or to be aware of the explicitly-for-mischief "TV Off" devices.
Glenn Greenwald is right leaning? I disagree with your appraisal that most would consider him that. He's highly critical of mainstream liberal media which creates the sense he must be 'on the other side,' but he's definitely a left liberal.
> it was a bad ethernet cable in the end

Checking the cable is like checking if the power is on, it is NEVER the cable - except in networking for some reason. Half the time it's the cable.
The mobile phone market is no longer rational. That is why we are seeing such weird things happen like LG exiting. I blame apple.

There are basically three markets nowadays.

1. Ultra luxurious $1000+ phones. These phones are bought purely based on brand name. As a result they generally have a smaller set of features and put the users through some amount of pain. For example, the latest iphone does not have headphone jack, does not come with a charger, does not have expandable memory, does not have a fingerprint sensor, has outdated 5 year old-looking screens with a huge notch, etc. You cannot compete in this category with good, technically sound products. People will pay $1200 for a brick with an apple logo on it, but not for a genuinely advanced phone packed with features, just because it ain't from apple.

2. Mid tier phones. These phones are bought based on a mixture of features and brand value. It is possible to compete here because the customers are making some sort of logical decisions. That is the reason Oneplus is able to gain significant share here. But these also have started falling into the trap of removing features and making users suffer a bit for the brand.

3. Cheap commodity phones. These are extremely cheap, the software is barely acceptable and the hardware is decent. Once again, it is difficult to compete here because these customers will buy the absolute cheapest phone there is with the set of features they want. They will entirely disregard any software polish, any brand association, anything that requires attention to detail. As a result, chinese manufacturers are absolutely killing it in this space.

So the only place for LG to fit here is the 2nd one. This is a downgrade from earlier when they used to be in the flagship game, before apple fucked it up. I guess they are not able or ready to adapt to the new reality of the market. Sony did the same. I respect the decision on some level.

I have one of the cheaper cars that has some of the newly standard assistance tech, and after about six months, I think the best of it is the adaptive cruise control. I didn't think it was more than a gimmick at first, but I've started using it, and it transfers a significant mental burden so that I feel more relaxed on the highway, almost as if I was a passenger. It complements a hybrid very well; somehow it's psychologically easier to follow someone slow when the car automatically keeps its distance.

However, the lane keeping assist does not seem like a good idea to me. It sort of works, but I never know if it will lose track of the lane suddenly. When there is an exit or something that breaks the lines, I think of the Tesla crash I read about. When there is a curve in the road, it seems like there is a threshold beyond which it doesn't try to follow. So it amounts to an unpredictable resistance of the power steering, and doesn't reduce the driver's workload at all, in my opinion. Maybe it's supposed to be used on straight highways, but if it worked without attention for a while, that seems even more hazardous.

I wonder if that could be a direction to go in - future cars could let the driver steer, but mostly figure out going and stopping on their own.

I know, I thought the same thing. All that work, citations of research done after the writing of the book, and some how still misunderstood the points made by the author.

Curious also why this isn’t published in a journal, and be peer refereed... or has it? That is the standard required for a “takedown”.

Edit: Or at least allow a right of reply from the author. Having just read the book you have intentionally misrepresented a number of (perhaps even all) points. I can only think you are trying to generate controversy to build your own profile.
Yeah it's a small increase in the gap for waterproofing because of the additional lanes required but it's a decent sized hit to the internal volume taken out by the longer tray. I'm not trying to say these are rock hard laws just a set of reasons a lot of phones have removed certain features.
This is worth submitting as a separate post. Thanks for sharing!
How do you know if it’s unconstitutional until the court rules on it?
I mean as a general rule you don't expect the choice of software to affect the quality of the writing only the speed with which it gets done, so I guess I'm saying this, on its face, is not very complementary to WordStar 4.0 on a DOS machine.

Is there a simulation that does this well? With regard to racing sims, there's still some argument on what has the best tire model. I can only imagine how complex aero and airplane models must be.
Great tool, Thanks! After 15 minutes trying a few obscure searches, great -not- seeing them dominated by familiar sources. (Deeper research does -not- need endless repeats of introductory stuff!)
Why not any one of the new editors which are very basic and can handle any terminal size? Or wordtsar?
Much like Cisco being exposed to US supply chains leaves them vulnerable to tampering by US intelligence through physical interception, merely being made in China is a security risk.

Profit maximizing would be slavery with $0 wages. But social utility maximizing is the price that emerges spontaneously when people are free to broadcast job offers and to contract, that is set by supply and demand:

I wonder how much of this is a deliberately cultivated form of eccentricity. To be clear, I am casting no aspersions here - use what you wanna use!

But the perfidy of spell check and auto-correct seem like fairly easy problems to avoid if you wanted to use a computer that didn't require you to mail floppies to your publisher. Emacs...vi...nano...even WordPad (it's been a long time since I've used that; maybe it does red underlining these days).

Keyboard shortcuts and lack of distracting internet can also be worked around (emacs has a WordStar compatibility mode because of course it does; it even models WordStar's marker system).

Sure, this takes a small amount of setup but it's not as if maintaining museum-grade hardware/software is hassle-free either. But using DOS and WordStar _is_ a conversation starter and subtly signals that you're important enough of a writer that your publisher will bend over backwards to accommodate you. Shit, whoever Martin's publisher is, I'm sure they'd be happy to deal with cuneiform tablets if that's what the man wanted.
You are looking at this with hindsight. At the time they believed (wrongly) that masks were important to prevent yourself being infected and there was a shortage of N95 masks. Under that assumption it did not make sense for a healthy population to panic buy all the masks and leave the health care workers exposed. It was an incorrect decision based on incorrect science but not malicious.

Later on aerosole scientists made the correct analysis that the more important path was to prevent the small droplets from infected people spreading over shirt distances and then any old mask is better than none. Once this was realised the messaging changed.

Was it an error not to know this up front? Yes! Was it malicious? Unlikely. The malicious activity came from the trump administration who till the end kept ridiculing the scientists and telling its supporters all is fine just to win votes. Fauci and the CDC and the scientists are not the fall guy here.
I also was missing it, I'd ask how did you know it was there?
> That's a completely safe bet. US fleet turnover is >15 years. If it were 100% capable and relatively cheap today, you'd barely hit that milestone.

If driverless cars are as revolutionary as proponents claim, fleet turnover would happen much faster.
It runs pretty well on medium settings at 1080p. I have to move the world around a little sometimes to get the tiles to paint. So it’s not great, but turns only take a few seconds. Unfortunately, my $4,000 MBP with a Vega 20 runs it only a little better, so I keep playing it on the PC to save the thermal wear.
Maybe they think learning is pointless before episodic memories form?

Which isn't true (you learn languages earlier than that) but I wonder what things it is true for.
I think there are some embedded platforms that used message passing as a primary form of communication. However those are really out there and not at all mainstream. I think what you're talking about is coming. For example, for ARM there is a network on chip architecture that I could see being used as a back bone for this type of system. However, you need software support for it. It's not enough to just build the hardware.
What is taking advantage of that feature? You still probably aren’t going to go swimming with your phone but you’re a lot less likely to ruin it when you accidentally drop it in the pool.

That would imply that high school graduates are better educated than in my day. I find that hard to believe, as standardized test scores haven't improved since what, 1970?

But that's not really my complaint about public schools. My complaint is they don't teach accounting or how business works. These two are fundamental to participating in a free market economy. It's clear to me from reading comments on newspaper articles that very, very few people understand what a profit is or how business actually works.

Ignorance of how basic finance works dooms a lot of people being a lot poorer than they would otherwise be. Teaching some basics here would be a great anti-poverty program - and a very cost-effective one.
No, SC committee members spoke at length about the practical issues with Stallman's involvement with the GCC project.
From someone who grew up with parents that owned a hand full of rental houses and did all repair work themselves (quite competently, father is a tradesman anyway) : I am not at all surprised that individual owners tend to keep deposits at a higher rate. I don't think there's anything illegal about it : without fail, every single renter we have ever had has incurred damage to the house well beyond the security deposit. When a company owns a ton of properties, they have economies of scale- all the properties have interchangeable hardware, cabinets, etc they likely have suppliers for materials that give them more competitive rates for bulk purchases, they have workers who will do the repair work for minimum wage (whereas a single owner probably values their time in the range of 50/hr)

It makes a lot of sense, but I understand your frustration. Still not nearly as frustrating as hauling trailers full of other peoples trash and dog shit out of your own house and then having to repair thousands of dollars worth of damage to cabinets, drywall, carpet, and paint.

This is specifically called "shallow dismissal" in the HN rules (used to be "middle-brow dismissal"). Basically this is when you don't read the article and reply with something that sounds smart and applies in the general situation, but not here because the authors knew that too.
I think what they are saying is that you would not continue to perceive and have experiences through that digital mind; it may as well not even be a duplicate of your mind, as far as you’re concerned.

Unless there’s some yet unknown quality of consciousness that says if your brain system stops, and another brain system just like it arises, that’s enough to have continued perception through that new mind. Is that what you meant?
Yes, I shied away from the lowest models. The mower is 6A; the weed eater and blower uses 4A.
FS2020 is weird in regards to performance. I found it ran okay ("shockingly playable") with reduced settings on my 1050, for instance, before my new card arrived. But at high settings, it's possible to sink very large amounts of money at hardware without ever hitting a consistent 60fps. The performance/$ curve is very flat.
