More interesting is to look at what Google did for Nexus Phones with the same issue.

>If you're among those affected, your phone will randomly shut down and completely die, even though your battery indicator might have said you had plenty of juice left. It's not a simple system crash, because your phone will stay dead until you connect it to a charger

Instead of fixing the issue, Google's solution was to tell you to buy a new phone.
They lie both ways too, whenever there is a public kerfuffle they always blame the algorithm / the AI.

I saw and was sharing this privately just a few hours ago. It led me into a bit of a rabbit hole, where I stumbled across Etak: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etak

The original Etak Navigator was a specially-packaged Intel 8088-based system with 256K RAM, 32K EPROM, 2K SRAM, and a cassette tape drive on which digital maps and some of the operating system were stored. The tapes could not hold much information, so for the Los Angeles area, for example, three to four tapes were required. When an edge of the map was reached, the driver needed to change cassette tapes to continue benefitting from the accuracy of map-matching.

Well, the original title policy really is an official HN rule. On the other hand, I totally agree that titles consisting only of ObscureName are not very informative. From the current front page:

1. "Bernie Madoff Dies in Prison" - who's Bernie Madoff?

2. "Deno 1.9" - what's Deno? Is it edible?

3. "Yamauchi No.10 Family Office" - I have absolutely no idea what to expect

Instead, why not write:

1. "Bernard Madoff, Mastermind of Giant Ponzi Scheme, Dies at 82" (original Bloomberg title, explains who Madoff is)

2. "Deno 1.9 (A secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript)" (short description taken from the official homepage)

3. I still have no idea what this is, maybe someone can enlighten me

Hey HN friends

Today I'm launching Dracula UI, a dark-first collection of UI components.

It's been 6 months since @nettofarah and I started working on this project and we're super excited about this next step.

I hope this can be helpful and that you build some gorgeous apps with it :)

Let me know if you have any questions!

I'm here to answer every single one of them.
It won’t lose data in the event of a data center failure. Each of the replicas is in a different AZ, and at least two of three have to durably write the data before the put succeeds.
I think that's a really tendentious reading of Shilts' work. The CDC, yes, but it's asking far too much of gay communities, whose relationship with law enforcement and public health authorities, which at that time had been and still was nothing but oppressive, to then immediately heed those authorities' demands to stop participating in what was then a very fundamental aspect of gay culture - and, too, the single aspect of it most distasteful to outsiders.

You can argue that that culture was very vulnerable to a disease like AIDS, and that's fair. You can argue that, had that culture changed faster and more comprehensively, it may have mitigated the crisis somewhat, and that's fair too - although I'd argue the effect would likely not have been very significant.

But to cast blame on the same communities which were repeatedly decimated in large part as a result of those authorities' lack of concern over whether they so much as lived or died - a lack of concern which, as Shilts' own work which you cite makes clear, was so persistent and profound as not to be shifted until gay people themselves fought their way into positions of sufficient power as to have meaningful impact on policy, and not until one of Ronald Reagan's personal friends died of the disease and thus forced him finally to recognize the essential humanity of others likewise afflicted? The kindest thing I can find to call such a position is insultingly absurd.
My messaging apps built into your phone do you mean SMS? Or iMessage or RCS?

Because SMS leaves a lot on the table. It is okay if you want to send just text but doesn't support rich features such as reactions, replies various forms of formatting or media. It is also very insecure. iMessage and RCS provide more but have their own limitations particularly across platforms.

Furthermore other messaging apps provide a wide variety of features and aren't tied to (often temporary) identifiers such as phone numbers.

So SMS may be sufficient for many people but I'm surprised that you haven't encountered people using other communications tools that are much more full featured.

Similarish in the Netherlands, there's an app called Tikkie (some banks have their own app, but everyone still calls it tikkie), with that app you can make a link "please pay me €20 for pizza" to share through any messenger, that opens an app or a website that takes you to your bank, you authenticate with that (often using the bank app on your phone so it's a quick process), approve the transaction, and in about 5 seconds the sender has a notification that you paid. It's so convenient and useful, and free, that people use it all the time even for tiny amounts - to the point where there are jokes about people asking for €0.50 "for mayo on your fries"

In New Zealand it's more like you describe in the UK, you type in someone's bank account number into your banking app and send it. There's a bit more overhead (exchanging the number), but not a whole lot. Also free and pretty quick.

No one is going to use something restricted to one messenger client that costs money to use, and presumably requires work to put money in/take it out, when these more convenient and free methods exist.

As an alternative there is LanguageTool[†], for which you can run your own server so the data isn't given to an extra party at all. We've been using it in [DayJob] for a while, and I use it at home too, and it does a decent job.

From my relatively experience of Grammarly (I had an account a couple of years ago) a self-hosted instance of LT is slightly better than Grammarly "free" but doesn't have the extra analysis offered by Grammarly's paid accounts.

I wrote drafts and analyzed procurement contracts for smaller volumes and less critical parts before. Of course with legal support. And all these contracts included initial delivery schedules (as an annex), delivery SLAs and penalties. And they were all considerably longer than the AZ contractthat was published. Fun fact, they didn't sacrifice 5 pages to talk about the order form.

The AZ contract has none of that. Ultimately, it would need a court to decide that. Once the point of discusing contract terms, the relation ship between supplier and customer is already ruined.
I used to live in another state, just over a line for a different area code then where my work and friend were. I know nobody in the 920 area code, but I get about 4-5 calls a day from random numbers in that area code. Makes filtering much easier. Plus the Pixel's automatic screening of suspicious numbers is pretty awesome.
I like the "room" terminology. Maybe just make it clearer that it's not a room number, but the number of people hanging out in the room with you?

What school teaches mostly calculus to math undergrads? I mean, let's do the same comparison with math, again MIT: https://math.mit.edu/academics/undergrad/major/course18/pure...

Required Subjects
18.03 or 18.032 (formerly 18.034) (Differential Equations)
[sufficiently advanced students may substitute 18.152 or 18.303]

18.100 (Real Analysis)

18.701 (Algebra I)

18.702 (Algebra II)

18.901 (Introduction to Topology)

One of the following three Subjects

18.101 (Analysis and Manifolds)

18.102 (Introduction to Functional Analysis)

18.103 (Fourier Analysis — Theory and Applications)

Personally I think this is a good impression on math of course in research you cannot do what is know already, but I would say, if any of these subjects above would be not already fully developed there would be researched today, so basically the undergrad covers an essential part of what we know (have researched) which I do not think people would say ah come on today one wouldnt research this (if not for the reason of course that the research has been done)

Coinbase CEO to Take Crypto Exchange Public After Bringing Bitcoin to Masses
Lower classes in Italy are not as much penalized as in the US.

Eviction takes YEARS and it's just impossible in some situations (kids in the house), healthcare is free for all, personal debt is not as aggressive as here, unpaid debt is a nightmare to go afer.

So unemployment figures are not really that important to gauge quality of life. We had many scandals where people just didn't want to get hired and do small works off the books instead because life was just better like that.

You can be broke and still have a wonderful life in Italy.
If you are smart and you want to get rich: much easier in the US.

Also about your Italian friends: Italian love to complain! If you ask them, they'll tell you. They will complain about everything all day with you. And then leave and go drink a nice aperitivo with their friends and enjoy the evening. It's very different from the US style of projecting an idyllic image of your life when you are with others, and then go home and drink whiskey until you forget you are alive.

Tell that to the western pundits who spout off "we must ban foreign wet markets" completely ignoring their own backyard.

Yes, I get the doing both is not mutually exclusive. The point isn't that stopping both wouldn't be great. The point is the way it's presented "look at that backward nation doing things that breed pathogens" without actually even considering their own country is just as guilty. Effectively "we're smart and enlightened, you're backward and ignorant"

I can show you similar screenshot. Does not make it genuine. I used to own a value series Synology NAS, and it was not possible to create btrfs volume. For extra fun, it was also possible to create only 32-bit ext volume (i.e. limited to 16TB; if your pool had more, you had to create separate volumes) and it didn't support some ext4 features, so you had to be very careful when creating volume on external device.

Matt Levine recently observed, when talking about another Ponzi scheme, that it would be nice if newspapers would quote the net and not just the gross.

Though that wouldn't tell the whole story, either. You would have the earnings of people who managed to get out of the scheme before it collapsed offsetting the losses of those who didn't. You're also not taking into account the opportunity cost of having that money in the Ponzi scheme instead of, say, VTSMX.

Let's be real though. There are enough resources now. There is really no reason to believe that if the resources of another world fell under Earth's control that those resources would be used to enrich more people than would be exploited to extract them. And in a situation where these new resources would be behind the most significant barrier to entry in human history, they would almost certainly be controlled by the wealthy.

That's why I'm saying that at this point, it's not about how much, it's about us making a positive choice to orient society so that the resources we do have are used to enrich as many human lives as possible. Without that, you're just creating even more wealth for the elite.

> Yes, it would probably cost a bit more for the wealthiest people.

No, at least in those places you mention, it costs more for the middle class. And I'm not sure it's just "a bit" - the difference in taxes between the US and the multiple European countries I've lived in is quite significant.

It's fine if you believe that's part of a fair social contract. I'm European and I do, mostly - I certainly want everyone to have access to quality education and healthcare. (It's some of the other public expenditure I despise... Public TV in this day and age, seriously?)

At any rate let's not pretend Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Bezos can shoulder everyone's education in the US.

The EU was slow off the mark when it came to ordering vaccines and as a result it did not get priority for deliveries. The EU can't change that now, but it can send the manufacturers a message warning of the dangers of not showing fealty.

Because powerful people basically never relent their power willingly. E.g. Netanyahu, trump, putin, and the countless other fascists destroying the world for profit and more power. History shows us that power must be taken from those who would misuse it. We must be ever vigilant to not become those we despise in our efforts to end their reigns of terror lest we perpetuate the cycle.

Great, now we’re “prejudiced” for not wanting to subsidize other people’s risky sexual behavior.

Did it ever occur to you that if there is, as you suggest, a large health burden associated with casual sex culture (and, according to the article, drug use culture), that maybe the “conservatives” are correct to be “prejudiced” against it?
That's not too surprising. Matt Levine wrote about the recent 1inMM ponzi scheme recently[1] and the scammer's "take" was only 10%. It makes sense if you think about it. For a ponzi scheme to work you need to constantly circulate cash (from new investors to old investors), so it's hard for you to take a lot without collapsing the whole scheme.
