> a recent paper inspired by their book, by Charles Jones, an economist at Stanford University, argues that over the long run any positive economic effects that come from a shrinking population may be cancelled out by the reduction in humankind’s creative capacity. If ideas drive growth and people are the source of ideas, he writes, then the fate of our species depends crucially on long-run population trends

We have more creatives than we can already handle, more talented PhD scientists, researchers and engineers than a dozen Earths can afford to fund. In the face of relentless environmental degradation, greenhouse pollution and a scientific consensus that our planets sixth great extinction event occurring right now is solely caused by humans, how can anyone make statements like this with a straight face?

Energy and resource exploitation is rising rapidly in the developing world, were they to consume as much per person as the West overnight the planet would be ruined very quickly.

I invite you to take a look at the source code and the implementation of some of the commands (there's one function per command), and see how easy it is.
If it was a car you would have just taken it to the local repair shop and hopefully it's an affordable repair but phones don't have that and so when they die, and they all do, it's quite harrowing (unless you are super rich).
Outside of US, carrier bundling is rarely seen, people buy phones and carrier plans often prepaid separately.
if you want to break out of the crud trenches, one nice way to do it might be to learn some functional programming. to that end, give "realm of racket"[1] a try - it takes a pedagogical approach, and you might find the earlier chapters a bit trivial, but also you should never feel out of your depth, and you should be able to follow along and have fun while learning some new ideas. after that you should be in better shape to tackle some more serious areas of programming and computer science, but i feel the easy intro to racket will stand you in good stead.

The mobile phone ecosystem is sick, and I don't see it getting better.

The fact that there is not a third choice is maddening. Even in the worst parts of the Microsoft era we had Apple as the underdog. Apple products had issues, but Apple die-hards at least could rest easy knowing that they were buying into a company who stood for something.

In the mobile space the underdog is Google; a company who sees dealing with people as an unfortunately necessity on the way to get to gobbling up more data.

I can't but feel that Android has sucked the oxygen of the space. I can't go out and buy a Tizen or Windows phone in large part because of Google's pathological Android licensing. Google force carriers to choose between their, supposedly open, ecosystem and shipping alternative OSes.
But I will get a new phone after 24 months. It is going to wear out because I am constantly using it.
Often it is not just about the products.

Sony as a company has shown so many times what their perspective on customers is (installing root kits on customer devices, the whole PS3 + Linux debacle, etc.), that I try to avoid Sony products as much as I can.
Cool, thanks for pointing that out! This is basically what I was thinking about in my reply to user dongobongo.
FWIW I've had good experiences with recent Samsung devices. The OS is fast and stable and adds some useful things to stock Android. Their bundled apps aren't terrible either. I use their mail & notes apps. At this point I'd rather have a flagship Galaxy phone than a Pixel since Android doesn't bring that much in terms of new features with major releases these days.
Yes had the same solution ~15 years ago when location based search got popular. Searching for anything within some distance to a defined location with perfect earth projection and a circle radius „did not scale“. Ignoring the earth‘s projection and pretending a flat earth with a rectangle search was much much faster.

In the end we used this simplified calculation with added „regions“. So the world was split into 15km*15km squares, so any square being more than x apart could never be in the result set. This could maybe be used with modern postgresql partitioning and partition elimination in a clever way.

And without partitioning maybe clever z-ordering the entries physically in the database (clustering) could reduce a lot of random i/o.

I'll paste what I wrote in another reply to a post asking the same question:

It's really nothing special. I wrote the whole thing in, like, a single afternoon. If you're interested, here it is:

It's not really a general purpose diffing algorithm. It probably doesn't handle every corner case as it only does what I need it to do in the few places I actually need it.
There was a recent discussion[1] on the sub with 1K upvotes and over 500 comments about the breach and I routinely see unabated salty posts and comments about Ubiquiti's downward spiral. I have lurked on the sub for several years (I manage a bunch of Ubiquiti gear) and I never got the impression people were being censored or moderated into submission.

Are there any particular examples of suppression or links to the allegations of censorship? The sub did recently begin allowing equipment picture posts again by popular demand. [2] I suppose an uncharitable interpretation is that that move was appeasement to distract from the breach issue.

RealMe phones also seem decently build and value for money.
How does it decide where is appropriate? Is it based on the length of the potential fragments, the length of the word, some sort of ratio, or something else?

I'd rather have a hyphenation algorithm err on the side of fewer hyphenations, but perhaps that's just me. My understanding is that a ragged right edge can improve visual tracking ability because it makes the paragraph less visually uniform. No one wants things to be too ragged, but in this case two chars doesn't seem like it's worth the tradeoff.

The other day there was a HN discussion about Goblins [0]. There were some questions about the Actor model of which Goblins [1] by Cristopher Lemmer Webber (co-author of the W3C ActivityPub recommendation) is an implementation. This reddit post explains actors in very simple terms using the analogy of.. well, Goblins, of course :)

Goblins is part of the Spritely project [2], a set of great specs being developed, that will lift the Fediverse (among others) to new heights.

You got downvoted but you speak the truth.
Really? How so? Is the west irreparably ruined? Still seems quite livable in 2021. National forest ecosystems are quite healthy. Environmental protections are actually enforced here. Conservation is properly funded. Seems like this is not true in developing countries.
I'm pretty sure he knows he can't deliver and doesn't really care. I have a friend working on Tesla after sales service, used to work for other brands, and he says it's astonishing how little Tesla cares about its customers. Still would buy a model 3 though.

forcing interpolation on the training set, right?

Its one of those papers where if you had a real handle on how everything works, wasnt surprising. But it was more a rebuke on some cargo cult ideas.

Lots of impactful papers have that form, eg., Gettier's paper on justified true belief.

Is this thanks to software updates that Tesla offers? I've asked Toyota and Subaru dealers if they offer OTA updates, and I've been told they don't/won't.

I'd be much more likely to buy a car that has pretty good driver assist tech if it were regularly updated. I don't want to have a car for 10 years if half the driver assist tech is useless when the car is brand new, and it will never be updated.

I think there's a failure of communication here because Americans[0] tend to conflate "liberal" with "left" although liberalism is not at all leftist and is far more compatible with right-wing ideologies than leftism.

In the most general sense left-wing ideologies are about abolishing hierarchies whereas right-wing ideologies are about either sustaining or enacting them. The difference between liberalism and conservatism is that the former promotes hierarchies that follow from property rights and the latter infers them from tradition (e.g. God's will or "natural order").

Just like anarchists and state communists can have leftist infighting it's possible for there to be infighting on the right. As the US has literally spent decades fighting leftist ideologies, the predominant political discourse in the US takes place between different flavors of the right.

No major media outlet in the US will promote abolishing property ownership or collectivising the means of production. When we talk about "leftism" in US media this usually refers to socially progressive ideas like public healthcare, individualist attitudes to anti-racism, LGBTQIA+ rights and so on. While these ideas naturally follow from most leftist ideologies, they're not addressing the underlying social hierarchies or systemic criticism. Case in point: abolishing the police is a systemic critique if taken literally, but in the public discourse this has been reduced to police reform, which is about tweaking the system, not replacing or abolishing it.

[0] While this is not unique to the US, I'm focusing on the US here because of the original context. There are more discussions to be had about how this presents in other countries and how the Cold War affected those but this is not the time.
Samsung users makes it sound like they are activating Bixby constantly, while Siri can’t be activate when not enabled. So is Samsung allowing users to disable Bixby? It sounds like they’re not.

I know of a company that was required to send HR data to a union (time clockings over a period of time). They didn't like it. They just printed a badly-organized spreadsheet to a pdf. There, they sent the data, and it was unusable.

- yes, I also immediately downloaded the "manifesto" of the mad bomber in Norway ten years ago, not because I admired him but because I despised him.

- Troy Hunt keeps downloading data sets with peoples personal details (logins even) and is not getting into any kind of newsworthy trouble.

There are things you should be very careful with, both in physics (don't hoard fissil material), chemistry (same with various poisons), biology (don't try to get hold of smallpox etc) - and data science (certain images are forbidden for what I think is good reasons), but I don't expect police to show up on my door because I have downloaded a publicly available data set and grepped relevant names from it and then forwarded the relevant lines to the ones I found.

Edit 2:

I also had a copy of MyDoom somewhere, I think on a disk that is broken now. Never got in trouble for that either despite telling people.

Maybe don't say it online under an identity that is strongly linked to a piece of meat that might be put punished ;-)

At this point, the total revenue they've collected so far still hasn't covered Levandowski's $125M bonus, not to mention anything else.
Here in New Zealand, I see Samsung advertising everywhere. TV, billboards, in store, digital, etc. Whereas LG has very little advertising and usually not for their mobile phones. LG is a South Korean company so I guess they advertised heaps domestically but not internationally?

> The US has a lower rate of violent crime than Europe does and that has been consistently true for 50 years.

For a very specific definition of violent crime, I suppose. In the real world, homicide rates are not even close, regardless of any hand waving about guns. Same for rapes.

Crime rates are comparable if you put together robberies, assaults, murders, rapes and jaywalking, it does not mean that the rates of violent crimes are similar.
That is hardly the point.

The most common confusion I see is people conflating revenue with profits with assets. For example, they'll complain that a company worth $$$$ only pays $ in income taxes. Many people labor under the impression that if a company charges $5 for X, that's $5 in profit.

Anyhow, the two most valuable classes I took outside of college was a 2 week course in touch typing, and a 2 week course in basic accounting.

The accounting class was taught by a guy who said he used to be the the salesman at a car dealership. We got to talking, and he said the biggest problem customers had was failing to understand the finance part of the deal. The wealth of the customer was directly related to his understanding of finance.

The poorer customers always wanted the worst deals. He'd try to explain to them why those were poor options, and their reaction was always suspicion that he was trying to scam them.

By the way, I've had car dealers and bankers try to slip crap by me on the terms. My dad once moved to a new town to take a job, and was negotiating mortgage terms with the local bank. The bank manager went on and on feeding my dad crap, and my dad would just nod. Finally, the manager asked him what his new job was, and my dad relied "head of the finance department at the college." He told me the manager tried to crawl under the table. :-)

> It’s annoying when it gets in the way of the majority but also fundamental to how the US operates.

I think a government where the majority party can't actually implement any kind of agenda is a fundamentally broken government.

> I dont understand why states have to wait around for the federal government to solve healthcare.

Because they're ironically forbidden by federal law. Several legislators in CA would love to bring a statewide single-payer healthcare bill forward, but funding it would require using federal Medicare dollars in ways that require permission from the US Congress. Guess how likely that'll be forthcoming?
> That is hardly the point

What is the point?
we have all the resources we need, what we are short on is knowledge to invent these resources. The more people we are the more likely we are to solve our problems.
I imagine this will be used for stuff outside of games primarily. My understanding is that Unreal is now used a lot in specialized domains like film-making (globe fly-bys in the news and documentaries?) and sort of general "dashboard"-y stuff.

I'm sure someone could think of an "interesting" game built off of this data but I highly doubt you go through all this engineering effort on that idea alone.
It sounds like 'public transport' to me. Which I consider a great idea, and something valuable. But certainly not a good business model.

Good. I swore to never get an LG phone again after my terrible customer service experience sending in my G4 for fixing their serial bootloop issue. Sent the phone in, took two weeks for it to get fixed, and then got lost on the way back to me. I then had to fight DHL to get some of my money back. Their customer service line threatened me with their legal department should I write about this online.

All out great experience.
I mean hibp is run by Tory hunt who has a good record as security researcher. So yes it's a centralised place but all it does is aggregate breaches and makes them searchable (to a degree, and not in a way that is useful for nefarious users). The breaches are not shared but those breaches are out there and nefarious users don't need hibp to get access to this data. It is really only useful to end users who want to see if they are at risk.
I think it's simply that people that buy LG don't buy a lot of phones. Samsung so shit you need to buy the new model to get rid of the annoyances of the last. S3 and note were really their only winners. LG hits it out of the park at every price point almost every generation.

Same goes for HTC. Buy once, cry once, hodl that shit for half a decade on the short side.
Elm + elm-ui[1] (dont worry about CSS so much) + generated Elm client lib from GraphQL schema + Hasura (GraphQL over Postgres) + Postgres => strong type safety from db schema to frontend with SPA-first workflow; possibly add ReactAdmin[2] to the mix if that sort of thing is needed.

Rust + Actix + Yew (Rust browser framework compiling to WASM) => also verrrry nice vor SPA-first!

Slightly more traditional: Kotlin and jOOQ on the server side.

I also tend to let go of the HTML syntax lately, by using templating eDSLs such as in Elm, or in Rust's Maud[3], or in Kotlin's kotlinx.html or HtmlFlow.

That's why I try to buy used phones when possible, and repair them when seemingly wrecked to eek out a bit more life (going as far as re-flowing BGA ICs and bypassing damaged PCB traces with enamel wire).

The LG G6 was a great phone to buy used, and it's not too horrible to open up to repair. Probably has something to do with LG giving up...
There seems to be a lot of data that includes the delimiters in what's supposed to be data, just to make it even more helpful.

Because yeah, let's just store a lot of data with commas in a CSV file, that won't make it obnoxious to parse or anything...
Because you're a show-off and a retard?
The west uses more resources per capita than the world as a whole.
If all parts would try to use as much the resources would not be enough. We might deplate the food resources, oil, gas and also cause irreparable damage to the environment.
That’s not how logic works, though. If you’re going to make flippant claims, you have to back them up if you want to be taken seriously.

We haven't had any surge in crime in the Czech Republic, a shall-issue country.

We also had no violent riots. It seems that a lot of people want to ignore the elephant in the room: unchecked or poorly checked riots increase the criminal fever of the nation.

2019 M3 SR+ - payed for FSD, am somewhat disappointed. Although it is amazing, it’s nowhere near autonomous. I think it’s very hard to review because it’s a rare person who’s owned multiple brand new 2020-era cars to be able to have a reasonable view of the comparative difference. My wife -loves- it and I really only use it in traffic or late at night.

I like the feature but in its current state is not worth the money.

Unlike many many others here, I think self driving is closer than we think. Mostly because humans are horrific drivers, not because robots are great. Even a pretty bad robot is better than plenty of people on the road. If robots drove badly and made mistakes but didn’t, say, ever run a red light or pass on the right, they would probably be safer. Pragmatism over idealism. I think Tesla is certainly liable for their marketing claims - and I don’t mean this as a defense of Tesla whatsoever - but are we all going to pretend we believe marketing? McDonalds burgers don’t look like they do on TV and AI required careful supervision - that’s life.
