I mean isn’t that the Apple Watch with cellular? You can even set up with its own phone number.
And BlackBerry was always the best for communications.

I think we're confusing 1) tech 2) product 3) marketing/positioning and 4) brand.

All of that together, Apple has a very powerful entrenched lead.

They can launch almost anything and own the category, the are firing on all pieces.

Google doesn't have either the supply chain, distribution or hardware-product discipline.

And who else is going take on Apple's machine?

So from a tech perspective, it's doubtful they are '10 years ahead' but from an operational perspective, it sure feels that way.
Debate for an audience is kind of awful. You have to sacrifice your honesty and ethics to score cheap points that don't actually show you're right but can fool the causal audience. What's the value of that though? You've convinced some strangers of a fact that you don't even know is true yourself. It's just creating fake knowledge pollution.
Apple has a significant lead in manufacturing, at the very least. I haven't been in the CE industry in several years, but when I was, they frequently bought out entire lines of new tooling equipment with exclusive multi-year contracts. They literally have some of the most advanced, bleeding-edge tooling in existence. It's very, very difficult to compete with their fabrication abilities.

Combined with their market position, huge margins, decent but good looking software and UX, it's incredibly hard to catch up to them.

Apple has a decade-long lead in wearables because there is no competition at their luxury price point in a luxury device ecosystem like the iPhone. To catch up, first you'd have to defeat the iPhone, meanwhile develop and then unleash a wearable all of your customers also want, and somehow make money doing so. It's a tall task.

- I’m never filing a bug report ever again on a bug filing system where I don’t get to see the progress in a transparent manner or that I might have to pay for a developer account to see that progress (assuming that’s an option)

- I’m not wasting my time emailing a top level company executive to inform of decades old most basic of bugs because if they don’t know of it then that’s even a bigger problem.
This is just silly, if you reject the methodology used in these studies to determine effective CT thresholds then it's pretty pointless having a conversation with someone who refuses to do anything other than restate their opinion without providing and evidence that supports their opinions.
Quite possibly, but this ruling relates to children already born.
The Spacefaring Paradox – Deep-space human travel is a lose-lose proposition
> This analysis of what produces fraud is suggestive of a solution: replace thumos with nous! If the problem with scientists is that their desire for honour and esteem, credit, is tempting them to cut corners and commit fraud, we should try to discourage such glory- seeking behaviour. This can happen through motive modification (advocated in Du Bois, 1898; see Bright, 2018). In this sort of scheme one tries to both filter for scientists who are more concerned with the quest for truth than glory seeking when one looks for junior researchers. And one also engages in a kind of soul crafting (Appiah, 2005, ch.5), using the educational and cultural institutions of science to mould researchers’ desires and sense of identity to be focussed much more on truth-seeking than worldly acclaim. This should also be paired with institutional redesign, so that people are not forced to become de facto credit seekers (Nosek et al, 2012), and rep- lication and checking work is properly encouraged (Bruner, 2013; Romero, 2018). Credit-seeking caused fraud – removing credit- seeking is thus removing the cause of fraud. Not, of course, that soul-making and institutional design are trivial or simple matters! But we at least know roughly what we need to do, where we should be heading towards, do we not?
Well, maybe. (This is often the answer)
How is this article not about “the real world”?
I fail to see the connection to syntax-vs-homoiconicity here. Python is definitely not the worst, e.g. in C you have maybe some preprocessor hacks. Python metaprogramming is also usually on "dynamic level" and a bit difficult to compare to macros as in e.g. Lisp.

I fail to see the connection with f-strings to lack of homoiconicity, let alone indentation. I'm also a bit amazed why people see indentation as painful, don't you indent your code if the indentation is not significant?
> Yes, a point adding itself holds the same rule, using the tangent line on the finite field to connect the third

How in discrete metric space do you create a tangent line on a set of points in a finite field?
> So from my layman understanding, the immunity should be more resistant to a mutation of the spike protein.

This is probably not true. But I don't know of any medical evidence one way or the other.

First, your innate immune system could clear the virus, at which point you have no immunity at all.

Second, your immune system could lock to some random piece of the virus that easily mutates.

Third, your immune system could lock on to some random piece that is common. Oops. Autoimmune problem incoming.

Fourth, your immune system could lock to some piece of the spike protein that mutates quickly (apparently the immune system "likes" 3 particular regions around the spike protein --one of which mutates quite freely).

With the vaccine, your immune system is primed to the spike protein and the particular region that is expressed in the vaccine. It's very targeted.

I had Covid, but I went and got the vaccine anyway for exactly these reasons.
We'll see if other racial aspects of the package get thrown out.

Most companies Twitter support is much better than any phone or email line because they hate super negative sentiment of their brand being so public.
I wonder why they left Open AI? Maybe they didn't like Microsoft's influence, or they felt that Open AI wasn't really open, or that it didn't have enough focus on safety?

Or they just didn't like their boss that much?
Why does AST need a specific editor? Just pick what you want. If you like parens, just use parens. I'd prefer to just specify the tree with significant indentation. These would be just files.
I think smoking is a much more concrete relationship though, because you’re inhaling something which directly and physically damages your body. The tie to death is also more obvious because there aren’t other factors which could make a difference. If you smoke a lot, you’ll get lung cancer —- eating a good diet or exercising won’t stop the bad effects. Whereas with overwork, maybe if you have excellent routines like getting good sleep, exercise a lot, meditate, hydrate, etc, you’ll be able to combat the stress level. So you’re probably not quite as doomed as you might be with smoking.

Like, with smoking, it is the actual thing you consume which kills you. But with overwork, it’s not that you’re working $x hours too many, but that you’re super stressed out. (Even achieving low stress levels with normal work hours can be hard!) I think phrasing it as stress makes the tie more obvious to me because high stress levels are more obviously damaging.
Basically all major legal challenges with the exception of class actions originate from one person. That doesn't mean only one person was affected by it.

Rosa Parks wasn't the only person asked to sit in the back of the bus.
The ultimate backstop to this is constitutional amendments (in the cases where the issue is actually Constitutional... In the case of, for example, Oracle v Google, the courts declared APIs were copyrightable as a matter of law, which could be altered by legislation).
Unfortunately the con artists make funding harder for people who are not con artists. A con artist can spend 100% of their time and effort on polish and marketing, while someone trying to actually do something often has to make those things an afterthought. I’m sure the con artists have much better decks and web sites.
What gets measured gets managed. Both my fitness and sleep improved after tracking.

At the start I was able to use the sleep tracking to troubleshoot sleep issues and improve. After that, it’s mostly a warning system for when I may need to nap later (and thus plan for it) or make sure to get to bed early.

The steps are also a fun social thing. My dad and I talk about them and have streaks of 10,000. If we handle our days well, that’s what we’d get anyway. But somedays, you slack. Being accountable to each other is a fun game and we walk more and are happier for it.

The key to this kind of tracking is you mostly don’t think of it. It happens automatically in the background.
What is the financial incentive for reporting a COVID death vs something else? Why does such incentive exist? (I am assuming this is a US thing)
Why would this need parens? Many other ways to textually represent nested lists.
I think the difference may be because we've been hearing about the harms of smoking for decades now. So when we hear "smoking kills X people" we understand they don't mean that smoking is the cause of death written on the death certificate, we understand that smoking has a demonstrable causal link to a variety of reduced lung health.

While most people understand that stress probably isn't good for you, we haven't had decades of ad campaigns and public health initiatives dedicated towards it. So the general public just needs time to catch up before we put stress in the same bucket as smoking, lead paint, and asbestos.
Many unikernel projects were ahead of their time. For example ClickOS [0] is ~7 years old but all its ideas still sound innovative. Someone could build an entire business on top of network function virtualization, using unikernels as an efficient sandboxing mechanism.

I’m not sure why unikernels have not caught on widely. I suspect their time has yet to come for some applications, but at least for NFV and sandboxing, I would bet on solutions using eBPF or XDP with WASM for sandboxing.

The only thing I'd add to the other comment (by babelfish) is: I'm not sure from your description whether your email account itself was compromised or merely an account on some site that is connected to your email (for example, a hacker news account which you used that email address to sign up with).

If the email account itself was compromised, then you should also check any account that you signed up for using that email address, to make sure that you still have access (because if someone had access to your email, they could have used it to reset the password on those other sites).
I tend to view smoking as having a bit more direct of an influence. A doctor can for instance look at a smoker's lung and see signs of damage that directly correlates to smoking. I don't know what physical signs a medical professional or anyone else for that matter, would be able to quantifiably identify in the case of overwork.
There are alternatives to google. I'm not talking only about duck or millionshort[0]. I'm talking about p2p-like search engine like searx[1] and yacy[2]. If some of these independent search engines could collaborate implementing a API to allow cross service search sharing, I think the google search monopoly would soon be threatened.

And I think the biggest of those subtle features is the blue coloured bubble, isn’t it?
Thanks for the list, here it is formatted:

1. Don't automatically click on short links. There are plenty of url expanders online that you can copy & paste the link into that will tell you where the link goes.

2. Be very carefully clicking on links you don't already trust. That doesn't mean they are all malicious, most aren't. Just use your judgement.

3. Use https whenever possible. Things like banking sites & anything your are entering your banking info into or social security number etc; should always use https, no exceptions. Otherwise it's possible for hackers to monitor your traffic & steal your info. Look for the "https everywhere" extension. It's available on Chrome & Firefox & maybe others.

4. Watch the end of the url (the .com, .org, etc;). They're called Top level domains (TLDs for short). Government sites will always end in .gov, Military is .mil .org is generally organizations, .biz is for businesses .com or .net can be pretty much anything else. Two letter TLDs are generally for countries, .us is The US for example. There are also special ones like .bike for bike shops. There used to be a whitehouse(.com) that targeted people who didn't realize it should be .gov & when they clicked on it, they were redirected to a bunch of malicious sites that downloaded & installed malware without their knowledge.

5. If possible avoid using sites like banking sites in coffee shops/restaurants or anywhere else where you don't know you can trust the wifi connection like at home. Hackers sometimes create fake (but working) wifi networks hoping people will connect to them thinking they are the one setup by the business & when people connect them they can see everything users do & steal any data they send like login info for websites they visit. If you must use them there at least use something like tor to hide & secure your traffic from potential hackers.
That’s what I think and is why I actually wanted to get the virus 2+ weeks after vaccination.

It is, perhaps, worth noting that the "penumbra" you're describing is the right to privacy, which was never enumerated anywhere in the Constitution.
Steve Jobs was kicked out of his company and look where that got him. I'm sure YC is notified when founders change so I wouldn't worry too much here. Maybe they will fund you separately to do the same thing. I would if the idea is promising.
I used to have these issues don’t seem to anymore. For example I used to have to switch my timeline back to Latest every so often. But I realize now that I can’t remember the last time I had to do that.

I also don’t seem to get weird tweets anymore and I just remembered that I added some weird strings to my mute list at the suggestion of someone else on Twitter. I Googled a few and apparently this is a thing? There’s an article in Vice about it, for what that is worth:

I never got the opportunity to get involved in Twitter because of these experiences:

1. Few people outside the politics sphere use Twitter in Australia. It's all politicians, public relations specialists, and journos. I could create an account and try and interact, but I'm unlikely be interacting with people who have any influence in my hemisphere of the world.

2. I once made an account anyway, out of curiosity, and was immediately defamed by someone I hadn't even met. To the point of having to delete the service, scorched earth.

3. Eventually I had to create an account to use the Twitter API as part of a big data assignment. However, every time I tried to verify my account, no email or text message would make its way to me. I contacted support for months, with no replies. Ended up having to use the tutor's Twitter account (which I'm sure would have breached ToS).

It's been over a year, and I still haven't received a reply from Twitter. Maybe they just don't want me to have an account?

Why would I get involved after all this? Seems like more trouble than its worth, to be honest.
I can’t read the comments without an account, but it seems that from the main post:

1. This company will fail

2. YC invested a lot of money in it (a room full of employees)

3. The author admits that his company lied about their sales to get investment

That seems like a bad position to be in…

Don't be friends, or get "in-bed," with greedy, selfish a*holes. Sales is notorious for attracting people with win-lose, psycho/sociopathic tendencies that would destroy a venture because they can't help themselves. In the end, their myopia and morale-murdering behaviors win 95% equity in a dumpster fire where they poured the gas and they threw the lit match. They're losers. Avoid these kinds of people as much as possible.
Some time ago i listened to a respected Argentina scientist (that lives and works in France) saying something: “we can’t confirm nor deny anything about COVID, given the poor quality of scientific procedure we follow in testing”

He was complaining of lack of scientific rigorousity with testing (at least in France) and he compared it to the “behind the scenes” of a restaurant’s kitchen.

For example, he was saying that the “informal” rate of contamination of tests were off the charts, but surprisingly, nobody was doing a thorough, official contamination analysis.

What I’m saying with all this is that: your friend thinks she had COVID twice. Or even, her doctor thinks so. But it’s hard to trust anything with our given situation.

PS: I’m not saying she didn’t have it twice. It might be possible. It just sucks how bad we’ve been at science these past 2 years and how easily we’ve been overwhelmed by “operative” tasks.
