That's part of my A point. Regardless of how it technically functions, it has the ability to create and receive radio waves and thus might update itself without your knowledge or permission. As long as it technically doesn't lose functionality that's advertised, there's no problem in terms of consumer protection laws.

> I would not have bought it under those terms, the terms changed, and now I have to take a loss to replace the TV with something that doesn't do that.

Same as above: the terms didn't change and they aren't what it can do now; the terms are that this device might update functionality and that future change, if applied to your device, will be applied to your device under the current terms that allow it. If you don't like that, you don't have to use the device's software and you still have the right to hit the hardware you possess a hammer.

As for if you ethically should be entitled to a refund, well, how do you determine the point where someone is entitled to grievances? What if someone buys a $1000 laptop for the purpose of playing high-end games, but in 10 years game developers start dropping support for the old architecture it uses or new games simply don't run well on it. Should they be entitled to a refund? What if, on surface devices, Windows moves the start menu to the middle (a la Windows 10X), and you didn't expect that - does Microsoft now have to refund or replace your product?

Regarding:

> turns out with an OTA update the TV now broadcasts its own Wifi network and lord knows what it does on it.

That's probably a way to directly stream to the TV without a separate wifi network, or part of the setup experience (eg. connect to its wifi, type in your real wifi password, it shuts down the network then connects to your main wifi). They don't just throw extra wifi chips on their boards for no reason, so it's probably one of these.
If you think that an armed response is the only remaining response, you are misguided and naive. Your example shows again how you see violence as inevitable and justified, which intimates to me a blinded worldview.
Not necessarily bullies but who is a parent likely to pull out of school (ignoring the parents doing it for selfish reasons like religious extremism)? The kid who hates school and has no friends and sulks when it’s time to go or the kid who can’t wait to go and has tons of friends and is involved in school activities?
And here I was thinking Bitcoin was the Herbalife of crypto.
For me the ideal social media feed would look a lot like Hacker News. Literally every day I find something interesting here. Something technical I didn't know, something new I never heard of, something that makes me think. Rather than social media sites that keep trying to spiral me into their bubbles of things I looked at before. When in fact I come here to see stuff that I didn't know. I don't want more of the same but yet that seems to be considered the holy grail of engagement algorithms.

It's amazing how free sharing works when it's not constantly fiddled with by algorithms. There is user voting of course but I read the 'new' page a lot too.
Contrary to the other comments in this thread, I've had a bad experience with Phabricator. With other solutions like Github, you can commit or create a PR straight on the website easily. This makes things like fixing typos in the README a joy, where everyone technical or not can participate.

Github is also well known and has issues, PRs and a CI all integrated into one, while with Phabricator each of these are either a self-host Jenkins (again, friction) or in a totally different/confusing location.

It's sad to see a tech company that many liked go, but hopefully this means the higher ups will reconsider Phab usage in my company :)
> Perhaps in the future there will be a layer added to this pill that first dissolves the plaque.

First Oculus was pretty much linear continuation of where VR died in the nineties with VFX1 and Virtuality. Merely a hardware upgrade of LCD and IMU technology.
> I'd say Eink is holding industry back because they've closed avenues for other companies to iterate on Eink's core patents.

As I mentioned in my past comments, I work in the display industry and the only people I've heard the above comment from are people who are not in the display industry. It is the equivalent of someone outside software development making an accusation like Microsoft is holding back operating system development because of Microsoft's patents. I hope you can see the point. If not, perhaps you could give some evidence.

The rest of your post (monopoly, lack of competition, lack of variety) is based on the same fundamental claim you've made above.
So not only do they not map cleanly to actual applications but if you intermix your app's request statuses and error codes you don't have any way to distinguish an error in your application with an error in your transport.

Does a 400 response mean that your HTTP is malformed or the that the app specific request payload is malformed? Depends on the app...
Is something wrong with treating other people as equals in a partnership, instead of cultivating a superiority complex?
That sounds pretty close to malware to me. Are you saying they aren't?
I mean, that's never been true. Hell, MacOS runs fine on pretty much any computer, as evidenced by the cakewalk that is the modern Hackintosh. In the Intel era, Macs consistently lost outright price-to-performance battles with equivalent PCs, and the same goes for the PowerPC era.

Instead of arguing with you though, I'll propose an amendment to your phrase: "Apple's lead in software makes their hardware profitable."

Does that contextualize things for you?
US constitution is bad though. Nobody is good enough to make it work.
ECC helps a lot, and combined with memory encryption (which is another thing we should be doing) it effectively mitigates the issue, as then you can't target specific bits any more, so your chances of getting past ECC without causing hard errors are negligible.
Is there a way to do forward security in a non-interactive protocol (which seems necessary, if you want to communicate over email?)

> According to recent studies, obtaining more daylight during the day, as early risers do, triggers a chain reaction of hormonal changes that might affect mood.

I think this is the key is the daylight, not the regular amount of light, but the strong brightness in the early morning that trigger hormone affects not only our mood but our immune system as well.

Personally, I don't think it's related to a sleep schedule. it's more about the light. I've been recently listening to the Andrew Huberman podcast. He's a neuroscientist and has a weekly episode. And in one of his episodes, he mentioned that regular human being needs to be exposed to sunlight at least 30 mins a day. Not just a light, but the strong brightness coming from the sun which triggers hormones increase our alertness by raising the amount of cortisol in the body.

of course, this means more productivity, more immunity, and controls the mood. There's another way to do it, an ice bath for example but the light is actually more important than we think.
May I suggest: avoid first-thing caffeine; wait until your body has naturally woken up to drink caffiene (or other stimulants). The natural process for waking up (cortisol!) stops when you feel awake. Using caffeine can hasten that moment, but then it doesn't get you any more awake than you would have gotten naturally, and can disrupt your sleep cycle in various ways (for me personally, early caffeine actually makes it harder for me to fall asleep at night; I always thought I was really sensitive to caffeine, but it turns out "...even if I have it first thing in the morning" was more accurately "...only if...").
I'm still think that OpenPGP is the best solution for the first two. But the two tools at the top have the same problems as pgp.

How do you trust some key material. The WoT is a complete failure, but modern solutions like WKD are amazing and make PGP just plain work.

The one nice thing about age is the ability to encrypt to a GitHub users key. However, even that is possible with OpenPGP. Here is a tool that I made ~7 years ago that does something similar: https://github.com/georgyo/sshcrypt

Another thing minisign/age don't have is a method to say that a key is compromised.

I don't think the solution to the problems with OpenPGP is too just ignore the problems and switch to using bare keys like new tools are doing.
I’m deeply interested in synthetic media but it’s hard to believe there is a shortage of people who want to be video presenters.
What if this works too well? Everyone is going to look like a beaver.
I went to a technical high school in Mexico. Here's divided as 6 years of grade school, 3 of Middle school and 3 of High school.

After finishing this "bachelor" high school you get a technician degree. Mine was an electronics technician. And well, I met some of my best friends there and equals even when most of them went to different majors in college.

I think is great when you can get specialized subjects in such environment since people with similar interests can interact between them more easily.

Granted, there were bullied people, others that just wouldn't fit, but for the most of us (on classrooms over 40 students) we went along fine.

And certainly I felt it a better environment than middle school (12-15yo). Friends that really didn't like it, weren't that interested in electronics or science, but still we got along.

But well, in the end, Mexico is a place where we care about our relationships. Maybe too much.

I don't think the concept of high school is wrong. On any country contacts are important and usually change your life, and any social hub in life is a chance. It's just that, environment and motivation matters.
i've gone to bed on maybe 5-10 occasions before my kids actually fall asleep. I read them nighttime books and get sleepy as fuck while reading. Then pop right over to bed around 8pm or 8:10pm and lay there falling asleep by 8:30pm. Usually wake up around 4-5am.
> You mean, like AirTag/Find My?

Can you explain your comparison?
Pourover is more like espresso too. Almost the same mechanism, but espresso also uses pressure. And even though snobs will disagree, french press will be closer in flavor but “muddier”. Drip is pretty much the worst because it starts reheating your already perfectly good coffee before it’s even done.

Welcome to the snobbery! I went from “I refuse to order a coffee with more than two words” to super opinionated and picky, and now my rules are just don’t be insufferable and accept when my preferences aren’t reasonably available.
There was a previous discussion. Title is a bit misleading. This is a very low bandwidth mesh.

Surprised no one recommended "the Man in the High Castle" it's how he won the Hugo Award! The alternate recent-history setting is unique & the character arcs were determined by random I Ching passages (It somehow works). Like most of his writing, it is significantly better than the Hollywood adaption which took the setting and completely re-imagined the characters & plot.

Yeah it’s not the roast, it’s the brewing/extraction method. Drip/pour over extract more caffeine than espresso, presumably from longer exposure to more surface area.
> "QLC" and "TLC" are complete misnomers developed specifically to hide the truth.

I know what those terms mean. I find it amusing that you'd think I don't, given I just rattled off the ECC types used by a dozen technologies and mentioned 3 different kinds of nonvolatile charge trap memory.
> But you have no power to extract yourself from that environment unless your parents are willing to send you to private school or move.

Most states in the US allow students to drop out of high school without parental consent at the age of 16.

It's also not uncommon for parents to home school their children through high school.

The alternatives exist. People do choose the alternatives. They're just not as glamorous as they sound once you consider the consequences. I recall the home schooled kids I knew to be deeply unhappy about being separated from the structure and social circles that the rest of us enjoyed.
The main problem with chia is that the company has pre mined 50% of the coins. The company essentially controls supply and not the code. Ethereum and Bitcoin got away with 0 premined coins.
Depends if you took too little or too much.

But even if you took too little, the drug may get broken down in other ways before you get rid of it for good.

Yeah, Pat's powers were incredible. Just as a casual demonstration, she altered the past so that she had been married to the protagonist for a year, and made it so Runciter's Associates had lost a major contract. Then, at Runciter's request, she again casually alters the past so that the company now has the contract (as they did in the original timeline), while still keeping her marriage to the protagonist.

She was too powerful for a good plot, in my opinion. The novel doesn't elaborate on the exact extents and limits of her power, but it leaves me wondering why she's working in corporate espionage and not, I don't know, ruling the world or something. Why does she have an interest in lowly Joe? Why is she killed off (or half-killed) so quickly and easily?

I agree with you. I'd rather the plot have seen one plotline through instead of abruptly shifting tracks and rendering the earlier plotline irrelevant.
I know what you mean but at least those certs are work related and fairly factual. I rather see that than people bragging about how amazing they are in contrived scenarios.
It was mostly because all the C functions that worked with single byte characters encoding also worked with UTF-8.

Why do you keep talking about macOS in an Apple Watch thread?
Oh, but that's what I meant with "even if you take [the book's] wild premises into account". It would be less weird if the world only started to turn bizarre once we think the characters are in half-life, but retrospectively the book was bizarre from the beginning.

Like take the exchange with the front door that you mentioned, where the protagonist basically had a human argument with it to be let out (and with his fridge). It indeed seems humorous at first, but once you realize that the book isn't a Douglas Adams'esque comedy, it seems downright bonkers!
Same happens to, and I realized that I am wasting my life procrastinating during working hours and being able to work only during deadline-induced adrenaline, as you formulated it.

Now I am thinking to get some profet help, since others on HN mentioned that this is possible.

I am aware of these arguments. Still, GPG exists, and no one has really proposed good solutions, or at least the solutions that have been proposed are not taking off for some reason.

It is true that pointing out a problem does not need to be accompanied by a solution to be valid, but at this point, if you're going to complain please work towards solving the issue. It is too easy in this case to come off as someone who "knows things" while gesticulating at GPG in a derogatory manner while still accomplishing nothing.

>To those men in their oddly similar dark suits, their cold eyes weighing and dismissing everything, the people of this valley were a foe to be defeated. As he thought of it, Dasein realized all customers were "The Enemy" to these men. Davidson and his kind were pitted against each other, yes, competitive, but among themselves they betrayed that they were pitted more against the masses who existed beyond that inner ring of knowledgeable financial operation.

>The alignment was apparent in everything they did, in their words as well as their actions. They spoke of "package grab level" and "container flash time" -- of "puff limit" and "acceptance threshold." It was an "in" language of militarylike maneuvering and combat. They knew which height on a shelf was most apt to make a customer grab an item. They knew the "flash time" -- the shelf width needed for certain containers. They knew how much empty air could be "puffed" into a package to make it appear a greater bargain. they knew how much price and package manipulation the customer would accept without jarring him into a "rejection pattern."

Right, Pat's powers are a very good point. She is so incredibly powerful, that it's hard for me to imagine how you can spin any serious long story around this, much less a story where she's not even really one of the main characters. It's one of the things that make the book bizarre before the event that we are supposed to think that makes it bizarre (and then the end plays some games with whether that half-life plot twist is really what's happening anyway).

On the spot, I can only come up with a rather stupid analogy, but if stories are carefully mixed and balanced cocktails, then a character that can arbitrarily turn back time for themselves and change things, is like taking that cocktail and pouring in a full bottle of everclear.
Is the issue tracker in GitLab a lot better than GitHub? I always was under the impression that they had simply been trying to copy GitHub, but I find most of GitHub's features toy-level unusable :(.
SSIS? Yes, of course.

It’s standard Microsoft. You can do a million things with it and it can be integrated into the entire Windows ecosystem, but go too far and you are locked in. PS, the version control experience is bad. Really bad.

For casual use, by all means use it. It’s powerful and high performance. For real production use, perhaps try to find something else.
> The kind of folks you mention, why would they even come? Or not drop after the first test.

Why would they ever go to high school to begin with? Why not just drop? Same reason they all go - societal pressure.

Besides, being a disruption or a PITA does not mean you fail academically. You can do quite well academically but absolutely be a huge PITA to all your peers.

I think you overestimate the intellect and interest required to succeed in an academic environment. We don't live in some weird society where only the most intellectually gifted (however you define that) and most interested are capable of succeeding in college or academica.
Hm, yet I have no problem searching phrases that go back at least five years.. I would say the burden of proof is on the author here to extract the database from the phone and prove that the messages didn’t get deleted, lost in an upgrade, or otherwise cleaned up.
Thanks for the thoughtful answer!

First off I really think CSC is the worst when talking about cheating. For some reason my school thinks looking at stackoverflow or talking to other students about the assignment while either of you have your project open is cheating. I love CSC so all the classes I've taken have mostly been below me or about my level. These rules really annoyed me because because watching videos (Cheating according to my school) or looking at stack overflow is one of the best ways to learn. I'm now in the CSC club and I constantly see people asking the dumbest questions (Even just syntax confusion!) because they don't understand how helpful the internet is for learning! They have been told that stackoverflow is unreliable and should never be used. I feel like this really hampers their ability to learn...

> Similarly, I think guessing on assessments is a bad idea, because it can hide misunderstandings from the teacher and the student)

I think your missing something here. Your a CSC teacher so you know that grades are so so important for CSC students. For example, I have to maintain a 3.93 GPA if I want to even be considered to go to my school of choice. This means guessing on assignments is 100% necessary if I don't know the answer. There have been many times on assignments that I have thought of a cool or different way of doing something but have immediately stopped because I don't get more points for doing something slightly more efficiently but get massive points off for getting it less efficient. Not worth the risk!
If I don't fight for every single point I am digging my own grave towards a 3.9. I obviously have no idea what kind of teacher you are but my current ones don't seem to understand the gravity of their grades. They throw stuff on tests that isn't relevant or just miss grade assignments (And forget to give me points back after I pointed it out) like it isn't a big deal. These small mistakes are the difference between getting into the collage I want or not! The completely control a big part of my life but don't seem to know!

I duno. I feel like my teachers mostly don't really care about education and mostly about making the test as difficult as they can get away with. Getting a 4.0 is so mentally taxing I feel utterly defeated with the entire system.

Sorry for the long rant!
Because you expanded the scope to "Apple's software", which includes MacOS. You could have said "Apple Watch hardware drives WatchOS" if you wanted to talk about the Apple Watch, but it sounded to me like you were addressing Apple, not their watch.
Except the problem with Mendelian randomization is that genes that control circadian rhythm are also likely to affect mood.
It varies by population density. Where i grew up, a small town surrounded by many rural and semi-rural areas, the nearest high school to mine was about 20mi away, and most attendees did not live in reasonable walking distance to any high school. So you had to drive, be driven, or take the school bus.

Where I live now, a very rural area, there are only two high schools in a 100 mile radius.
