Touch ID had to go because the home button was removed. They are now developing on screen fingerprint detection to bring back touch ID as a secondaryunlock mechanism.
I do think 'pay for play' will become more common among younger men (20s/30s as opposed to stereotypically older men) as fewer men get married/have children, still not legal in Canada or the US though. I think with the rise of sexless young men, and decreasing interest in marriage/kids, pay for play could sound like an increasingly attractive option for a lot of young men to get some intimacy.
In Tinder, all of the Match Group near monopoly, and similar style apps, this behavior ensures you get less of the people you want to see.

Basically just like in multiplayer game matchmaking, you get matched with people of a similar rank and never even see the people of different ranks. So if you yourself are matching people of lower ranks (ie. less visually attractive people, you know what the consensus is whether that matches your preference or not), that means you yourself have a lower rank and are not even shown to people with higher ranks. You might see higher ranked people, might super like them (like everyone else), might form clever a message because you paid for that feature too, but they will never see your profile.

There are articles claiming the dating apps don't do this kind of ranked matchmaking anymore, but did you know they even used to? so yeah imagine believing them.

These apps are not good for your mental health, and your own behavior influences other people's ranks whether you wanted it to or not. Caveat emptor.
On my S21 you can tick a "fast unlock" option for face unlock which comes with a warning that it can be fooled by a picture then. So I'm assuming that by default it can't?

Thank you for the video URI, and for taking the time to get to back to me!

I am still trying to identify what makes your technical solution unique and better that, say, a Jupyter/Dataframe based system.

1) It seems to me that most of the commands that have to be done in a UI with Google Docs/Excel can now be written down and immidiately resolved in your hybrid solution. That probably opens a path towards diffing/version control. Type checking is very nice, though.

2) The spreadsheet like UI probably makes it easier to edit data, although that is something I would like to play arounnd with.

Also, I am trying to understand the key conceptional differentiators. What do you mean by 2D language?
Thank you for sharing, unlike people with absolutely zero experience in agriculture speculating about their half baked ideas about it.

In the part of London I live in there's 5G available when I walk to the local shops - my network is Three UK. My secondary sim is EE, they also have a 5G network too, but i'm not completely certain where it's present
If you're wandering with a drink in your hand you have plausible deniability that you are just drinking and wandering.

If you are just walking around without a drink, then you're stalking/leering.

Of course it's much more nuanced than that - you can look like a lecherous creep stalking woman with a drink in your hand just as easily.

But that would be the premise: With a drink you don't need anything else to have a good time, you're already "doing something". Without, you're literally trying to fill a void.

Also a big fan of FMC for architecture diagrams - in bigger systems, being able to easily distinguish "action" vs "state" nodes has been useful in reasoning about behaviors. Pity it never took off, and there doesn't seem to be much tooling for it.

For other uses - yeah, ERD and sequence diagrams are the workhorses.
>> The most unfortunate direction though is that there is massive hostility in the popular culture against complexity and symbolism that is more than skin deep,for which I mostly blame the heavy handed way literature is studied in school.

As usual with art, this is a cultural thing. For example, I visit Bologna, in Italy, every summer and in the central square of the old city there's an open-air film festival where they show a different movie for free every night, I think for all three months of summer. I've sat through a couple of them and there's always a lengthy introduction to the movie by some kind of artsy person who gets up on the stage and speaks for half an hour analysing the movie's significance and going into depth in the symbolism of scenes, like the "blue=sad" thing in the joke you quote. I mean, I like artsy fartsy movies (the stuff Hollywood usually tags as "world cinema"... yeah, guess what, the rest of the world also makes movies) but the analysis can get a bit boring and I resent the attempt to direct me to look at particular details that the speaker wants me to pay attention to. I want to notice the details I notice. So much analysis just spoils the movie for me - and the same goes for any work of art. It's not that I can't find something deep in art, but I want to understand what is in my head and in my heart and not be spoon-fed whatever the artistic establishment has chosen I have to notice.
I believe Badoo is also pretty huge, but I never used it. Perhaps not owned by the same company that owns Tinder.
Agree. Sensationalist
Things are different in 2020. I pay $10/mo for Hinge[1] when I am actively dating. As a man it's a numbers game (like the article says) so the more likes I send, the better. The ~10 likes free Hinge gives me per day are useless.

[1] I still have this price in my iTunes subscriptions, but I know brand new accounts have to pay a lot more. That sucks.

Auto-correct was a mistake. Either that or a malicious undertaking cleverly disguised in the cloak of legitimate best intentions.

place-items is just a shorthand property that takes 2 arguments. The first argument sets the align-items value and the second argument sets the justify-content value. If only one argument is provided (as in this example), it sets both align-items and justify-content to that value.

I recently started playing with a Z80-based single-board computer, as I noted in a previous submission:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26843660

Of course I immediately started working through some of the classic text-based adventure games (zork, hitchhiker's guide, etc), and that made me think I should write a game of my own.

This is very basic, with only four locations, and maybe 1/4 of the code is related to easter-eggs. Parenting means that Paw Patrol is a big deal, so there are some good references.

Anyway I had fun writing it.

It's shorthand: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/place-items

MDN also has a list of shorthand properties if someone didn't know what 'shorthand property' really meant: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Shorthand_p...

But yeah, the discoverability or suggestion-to-refactor-something-to-shorthand is typically non-existent in CSS. Lists like these are really the only way I discover CSS stuff.
They make all their money as being a service provider. That’s why they require content providers to use their platform and to rev share subscription and purchases made on the Roku platform. They aren’t a hardware company.

Gatekeeper is one of the most frustrating things I have to fight whenever I try using MacOS. It feels like DRM for my applications, which in turn makes everything feel clunkier, and less integrated. I would genuinely pay Apple extra for a version of MacOS that just trusts me and lets me install what I want without the some esoteric mechanism stopping me at every step of the way...
Roku wants to be an app store, and it wants a cut of both the subscription fee and the ad inventory:

"Roku's standard terms for partner channels include 20% of subscription fees and 30% of ad inventory"

For services that bundle other people's content that's likely to be a problem (see Spotify and Apple).

If you need a concrete example of why deflation is crushingly terrible for an economy look no further than Japan after the asset bubble burst in the 90s.

Deflationary thinking meant everyone expects prices to be lower tomorrow, so no one spent money on needed items and simply waited to make purchases to save money. This slowed down the economy into a death spiral that they still are climbing out of. Mortgages became crushing. You can't get a raise. Interest and deflation work together to make debt nearly inescapable.

The point of money is to be spent, i.e. facilitate the simple transfer of value. An excellent example of the direct damaging effects of deflation is bitcoin. No one spends it. It has utterly failed at its goal to become a primary mechanism to transfer value. Everyone expects its value to keep increasing so it is almost never transferred (to the point that hodling and never spending became a meme). Slowing down the exchange of money is what kills an economy.
If they believe this approach will work, they are probably planning something. For example a new GMO plants that produce florescent substance to glow under a low energy laser and make it easier to detect them. Don't worry, they will imagine a method to continue getting profit.

Going off on a tangent here, but I'm curious to know what would be meaningless and boring about it. This would permanently solve the first two foundations of Maslow's hierarchy of needs so people can focus on the top three.

It could be argued that the truth is actually the reverse: it would enable most people to find a much deeper meaning, while only an exclusive few (probably mostly pathological people, like sociopaths and narcissists) won't.

I think having it in the back is genius as that's where I always have a finger as opposed to the front. It's so awkward to try to hold the phone in my hand securely AND holding my thumb on the scanner at the same time.

> You can’t physically force someone to look in a certain direction

Excuse me, but this is ridiculously easier than forcing someone to use their fingerprint; just wait until they are distracted, show them the phone and ask them "what is this?". It unlocks in less than a second with "Require Attention" activated. We prank each other this way when we forget our phones around the house.
Maybe it depends on the channel, but in my experience you can pick which version you want to watch. Take this screenshot from SNL for example: https://i.imgur.com/s7eCDi8.png

There are 3 versions currently available to me for S46 E16: two DVR and one VOD. If I select either of the two DVR versions, I can skip commercials as expected. The VOD version forces me to watch commercials (also as expected, I guess).
You can't make a general assertion like that because “better” depends on different factors:

* If you're concerned about someone who can see you typing, a biometric is better because they have far fewer chances to watch you — especially if you don't reboot outside of your home.

* If you're concerned about actual adoption, a biometric is better because you remove the constant frictional password entry cost which causes a large fraction of users to use short, easily-entered passwords.

* If you're concerned about someone who has enough access to construct a usable fingerprint / face facsimile but can't coerce you into providing a password or shoulder-surf it with a drone, a long password is better.
Woman in the above case doesn't at all read correctly. It's simply a clear cut spelling mistake and not really worth further discussion.
I've been postulating privately that we will move towards opt-in private governments, with private cities, that people get citizen scores and have no privacy, and that we will _choose_ to do that, because it will be a utopia inside those walls.

Your suggestion here solidifies that in my mind. We will live on private campuses owned by the corporation for which we work. It will be a utopia in there. And we will have no privacy. And we will be rated. And we will love being quantified. And outside those walls the world will decay.
The iPhone SE is physically the same shape and size as the 4 but with much better internals. To me, that is "peak iPhone".

I still use an SE to control a few things around the house. Without a SIM, with the mobile radios and bluetooth disabled but wifi enabled, and with Apple's idiotic News app that nobody wants disabled, the battery lasts for 20 days. Peak iPhone.
This is a bit old-fashioned...

"Getting drunk with friends" is an in-person activity. The point isn't getting drunk, the point is to socialize with barriers of anxiety and inhibitions lowered.

There are plenty of people who want to ensure physical compatibility for a long term relationship as much as emotional one. Society deems one "shallow", but for many people sex is a crucial aspect of any relationship, and just because they are willing to sleep with someone liberally does not mean they are also not interested in something deeper.

Ah interesting to know about Gen11, thanks for the links.
I disagree.

If 20 years ago it was rare for romantic/sexual partners to meet online vs in person, the trend is now reversed. We are now in a fully democratized app dating landscape. It therefore stands to reason that the same people who were successful at converting meetings in person would be successful at converting online as the skills are essentially the same.
> People are realizing that spending money on trying to find love is worth it in a world where many spend so much on Christmas presents, restaurants, bars, vacations, etc.

It's like $15 a month depending on the tier. You're gonna spend that on any one date anyway. Might as well get to peruse your likes rather than swiping blindly.

> Myself and my friends have noticed things like if we stopped swiping based on attractiveness and started only looking at job title and for a couple weeks swiped right on people with higher status jobs even if they weren't our type, we got shifted into what seemed like entirely different archetypes of people being sent to us. Which raises the question of - is it possible for the dating app ML and our swiping to put us into local maximums but global minimums?

A lot of my experience is now making sense lol. Setting my song pick to SOPHIE'S "It's OK to Cry" really changed whom I was seeing.
We can't stop using analogies. It helps us to bridge the information and use it as a reference to get a better understanding of it.

Analogies help those people are not familiar with the jargon or the field of study. You may be an expert in the computing concept, but the rest of us are not an expert in that field. Analogies is where it helps to understand it better.

So the answer is no, we can't stop using analogies.
I always preferred the fingerprint sensor over Face ID. You can unlock the phone before even taking it out of the pocket. At my desk, I can unlock the phone without leaning forward so it sees me. The only time that Face ID works (better) is when it's freezing cold and you don't want to take your gloves off to unlock the phone.

Google calls the accusation baseless. But I'd bet there would be documentation if it were true ..
> Engineers (and everybody else) like working in places with no distractions and minimal bureaucracy. But that doesn't mean they all work well them.

I don't think evidence exists to suggest they don't. From a burnout perspective alone, making people work in an environment they don't like will cause attrition. Especially now that there are plenty of WFH options. That's not even touching on how stress impacts creativity.

> Qualifying this with "good devs" somewhat begs the question. I would rather avoid judging the developers and just say, no, most developers will not typically write the appropriate amounts of tests by without some friendly reminders.

Our personal experiences are diametrically opposed to each other then. I've never seen lack of tests be an issue on any team I've worked with. I have however seen unproductive teams create tests in place of being productive.
> I always expected that the price of these coins would naturally level out because you'd have to remain competitive with the likes of Backblaze or S3.

Backblaze and S3 cannot conjure storage space out of thin air. If proof-of-storage coins make hard drives more expensive, that also increases the capex for those services and thus their prices. In the end, they're just shitting on everyone's lawn, no matter if you're using your own purchased disks or storage-as-a-service.

That comment was just a hypothetical worth thinking about, my friend.

Re: Venezuela - Libya would be an example where the fragile relationship between economic resources and guns can go very bad for leadership. Same for France right before the revolution and Russia's tsar Nick's family.

Venezuela for sure is in a fragile state, and Maduro has the sword of Damocles over his head. Do you think Western politicians and "elites" have the stomach to handle that pressure? I don't.
> And inevitably, all devices comply because they know they won't be able to sell the product without Netflix support.

That sounds pretty anti-competitive to me. So that would not be a "falsehood". Just because lots of companies are making anti-competitive demands, does not invalidate the point.
Touch ID is an entirely superior technology and Apple is profoundly stupid for removing it. It doesn't have to be in the screen, just put it on the back. The lengths they'll go to offset the removal of Touch ID are astounding, from IR face tracking, to degraded biometric security, and now to requiring an Apple Watch to unlock the phone with your mask on. Talk about a Rube Goldberg machine.

One aspect of leadership is symbolic. If the company falls on hard times and needs to restructure/fire people, we can let the current CEO be associated with all the ugly stuff, and then bring in a new CEO to raise hope.

There is a need for the employees to believe the CEO is important. Pay is one dimension in which this can be accomplished.

CEO pay functions as an aspirational goal for all career paths in the company.

I think the actual role of CEOs is symbolic, in these and many other ways.

The principle I'm appealing to is that we have to ask whether it's appropriate or desirable to have that technology applied to us(*). It's not disinformation if it's just outgroup culture.

It seems unwise to imagine oneself engaged in a war because it just licenses your opponent. The idea of war is that it the extension of policy, which in every other circumstance can be negotiated, but if instead of negotiating policy, these same people are engaged in a deception to exterminate or subordinate an opposition, that's not policy, that's just a power struggle for its own end, and it's not something to be reconciled.

If you want to treat fellow citizens as an enemy force, say so, and they will come to the table as one. But if you want to just decieve them, I'd wonder whether we were the baddies. We probably don't want to make civilian technologists legit targets in this war either.

Surely the people developing or advocating these techs are capable of enough self awareness to recognize how every example of "blatant disinformation," has an equivalent worthy of targeting, so introducing them as anything other than abstractions doesn't really yield perspective.
You're possibly right, but do people who inherit millions or win the lottery strike you as particularly happy after 10 years?

I've used it for a few things and once you go beyond the basic examples, it's the wild west. But if you manage to make it work, some things like pricing tables where a section is sticky to the top until the next one pushes it upward, it's really neat.
