I had Motorola phones a while back; my experience was they got the new Android 12-14 months after release. I switched to HMD/Nokia and was pleasantly surprised with how prompt the updates were.

[edit]

Though my current phone is a Unihertz Jelly-2 (just purchased this month). No clue what the OS update schedule will be like, and it's not for everyone, but the form-factor was something I couldn't pass up.

> Maybe letting a single internet company "organize the world's information" probably isn't such a great idea. Some food for thought.

When put like this, the thought that one company controls virtually all information flow on the Internet is more than mildly terrifying.
This is presented in a way that infers political partisanship, but without any evidence for or against that argument.

- No statistics for previous administration's like/dislike removal rate. Was it lower? Higher? We don't know.

- No statistics for YouTube like/dislike removal rates on other kinds of political or non-political videos. Maybe this is extraordinary behavior for YouTube, or maybe not. We don't know.

In other words, this is flame bait that people can read into whatever they want to confirm their biases. With a heavy dose of partisan editorializing ("Disgusting!").

At best, it shows a need for more principled study from someone else.

TBH, IQ is not massively useful as long as you are above the median (so 100+). The difference between 100-120 and 120+ in life outcomes tend not to be significant.

Regardless, it's never a good idea to assume you can't do something until you've exhaustively proved it.

Instead of using a toaster, place two pieces of bread in a hot skillet over medium heat for a few minutes for each side, brown to your liking. Add your choice of butter or oil to either the bread or the pan. This is the same process as you would use to make grilled cheese, except I'm using it to make toast. When you're done, you don't get the dry, crispy, crunchy toast result; you now have a mild toast-like browning on the outside and soft moist bread on the inside.
> people without any accomplishments

Everyone has accomplishments. Problems arise when people the people deciding that some accomplishments are better than others overvalue the ones they have and undervalue the ones they don't. Remember when Google only hired people with college degrees? Notice how companies devalue degrees from HBUs? It's a farce to pretend that these are objective measures instead of just ego-stroking.
Traditionally, when a notable fellow from our community passes, HN has placed a black bar at the top of the website.
I wasn't talking about the apple menu, though it is more similar in function to the start menu than the doc is... However, start does a whole bunch of things, so it's not really the same. Nobody switches apps using the start menu (that's what the taskbar is for), but people will search for apps (and files) that aren't on their taskbar already. I don't think people do that with the apple menu, I don't even know if you can do either of those things there on modern MacOS (they were talking about older versions in the above comment). I believe people open the launchpad for apps not on their doc. It's been a while since I have used MacOS, so please correct me if I am wrong.

> the Dock _is_ equivalent to the Start Menu

This is what I was referencing in my previous comment. This is not accurate. They are not even similar. The doc, however, is very similar to the taskbar. The doc and taskbar are used almost exactly the same way by users. I'd say they are effectively equivalent. That's all my first comment was trying to say.

The start button is used for many of the things the apple menu can do, but also for searching for things, from apps to files. I am not sure you can easily compare it to one thing on MacOS, as it seems like those functions are put into multiple different places, many of which are discrete apps _on_ the doc... which may have been what you meant. The above user was saying the Apple menu _was_ the same as the start button is now, but acknowledged that those functions have been broken apart since that time.

edit: updated comment
My advice would be that if you cannot give full support to linux, at least be open about your software. The linux community is very good at getting things working. They can figure most problems out for themselves, but only if they have some information to work with. Toss them some documentation, anything, and 99% of the time they will come up with a solution on their own.

Except DRM. Attach DRM or anti-cheat to your project, software that actively doesn't want to run on anything but a specific OS, and the linux community will turn on you.
> Quoting the OP, "Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with Damore, he was engaged in free speech." This sounds like it refutes your statement, no?

> Having worked there when this happened, the discourse definitely felt like, "Google is stifling the free speech of one of their employees" vs "Google has the right to fire employees for any reason."

Free speech as in the 1st amendment, sorry I wasn't clear enough. Yes Google "has the right to fire people as they like", but it's not free speech as a value, which can and will cause problems down the line on a societal level. Would it be all right for FAANG to fire all Republicans? All pro-unions people?

> I mostly stayed away from them because my goal at Google was to build cool products, not waste my day on internal mailing lists; I prefer to go to HN to do that.

Good for you, but his post was was about Google's internal policies and work, which is work related.

> You argue that he doesn't have a choice, but he does: he can speak his mind and potentially lose access to his largest market; he's just unwilling to do that because he deems the economic ramifications are too large. You always have a choice, most just choose to not make the hard one.

I don't get why you insist on showing a total lack of social conscience like a crony corporate lawyer who likes to brag about how he shipped well paying jobs overseas. Yes it is legal right now, it doesn't mean it's right thing to do.

I guess when they will use your data for salary and hiring purposes against you then you will change your tune. P.S.: do not talk about unions ;)
As long as there aren't cycles of course you can do deterministic GC, it's just reference counting. It also helps if the program is single-threaded since otherwise any memory allocation/freeing can be unpredictable (since it probably locks.)

> How many Android apps out there are not written in Java?

A fair few games are developed in C++ and run through the Android native interface. Unity games, often written in C#, run on Unity's native runtime which has been ported to Android.

Intel Bridge Technology is, presumably, a way to get ARM binaries running on x86 by AOT compiling them. It is not necessary for Java or Kotlin apps or native x86 apps, so those will run without IBT.

That won't help much if they're brought before EU courts.

The reason Google doesn't get brought to courts like that is because they already comply with rights owners.

2. You know exactly what VMs are included in the free tier.

3. You know about networking, VPC, DHCP, IP - Ephemeral vs Reserved

The big question that is missing to be answered is what it looks like generally on youtube, especially with highprofile youtube channels with a lot of people who dislike them, it is rather rare where more than half of all viewers dislike a video.

A incident like this also happened in the past and there youtube said that they remove malicious or spammy votes, though did not seem to comment on the concrete case.

The only way that was a true valuation of the shares at the time would be if he were willing to sell those shares to someone else at that price ($0.001) at the end of 1999. If not, that's not true value, that's just accounting fraud.

For a valuation, there has to be a market and a market clearing price. If there is no market (no buyers and sellers), valuation is meaningless.

The Mayor of Vancouver currently earns 171k annual - that appears to be enough for about 7 hummers, 4 after taxes[1]. Purchasing two hummers would cost you about 50k which is a very nice nest egg to have in the bank but, considering they may get a lot of use, probably not unreasonable. Most reservations have extremely poor roads and these cars might be shared in the community - I don't know if that's the specific case here but it's pretty common... lastly, cars aren't cheap and while hummers are expensive cars they aren't unreasonably priced, maybe having a hummer is this chief's personal luxury - we all want to have nice things, even when our lives aren't glamorous.

I think that the Mayor of Vancouver's salary is pretty fair considering the job they're doing, I can't speak on the specifics of this village but I am extremely suspicious of anyone who demands that people live in visible poverty to receive aide. The concept of "the welfare queen" originated with Reagan and was entirely born to utilize as a political tool - we can stop playing into stereotypes.

> It is identical to the technique done at the school sites. Very low cost hardware is used to sweep an area and then read the tea leaves of electromagnetic response waves.

What hardware is being used by the school sites? Can you provide more information about what specific GPR hardware that was used on Cowesess?

> but read the words of the technicians who did it compared to the tribe spokespeople

I can't find any of the information you mentioned about the technicians in this latest finds describing the GPR and the hedging language used. Maybe my Google skills suck. Can you provide a link to that as well? I was under the impression that the technicians at Cowessess have not made any public statements so far when it comes to the technology being used, methods, background work, etc.

"Javascript JITs are really good, you (likely) aren't going to see major performance improvements by dropping into WASM."

If that were true, nobody would be working on WASM because there would be no point.

"For a hot math loop doing floating point calcs (mandelbrot calc), however, I've seen javascript end up with identical performance compared to WASM. It's really pretty nuts. "

That's easy mode for a JIT. If it can't do that it's not even worth being called a JIT. That's not a criticism or a snark, it's a description of the problem space.

The problem is people then assume that "tight loops of numeric computation" performance can be translated to "general purpose computing performance", and it can't. I have not seen performance numbers that suggest that Javascript on general computation is at anything like C speed or anything similar. I see performance being more rule-of-thumb'd at 10x slower than C or comparable compiled languages. Now, that's pretty good for a dynamic scripting language, which with a naive-but-optimized interpreter tends to clock in at around 40-50x slower than C. The competition from the other JITs for dynamic scripting languages mostly haven't done as well (with the constant exception of LuaJIT). But JIT performance across the board, including Javascript, seems to have plateaued at much, much less than "same as compiled" performance and I see no reason to believe that's going to change.

Proton has been a game changer. Once they get the anti-cheat systems working (and they are making progress), linux will be much more of a valid choice for gaming than it has ever been. I used to do what gaming I couldn't do without on a Windows laptop, but now I do it all on my main linux desktop and haven't booted the laptop for months. Even some of the mod makers are making tools for linux now. It's a completely different world than it was even a few years ago.

There are still games that have problems, but Valve and the wine devs and others are knocking those down one by one. So those 15 people that wanted to switch to linux but couldn't because it couldn't run their games can now do so :)

I am certain that they said 10 was to be the final version of Windows. On the strength of that I decided I didn't want 10 so my only option was to jump ship (to Linux). I wonder how many others did? Saying that I doubt I would want 11 either, but that's academic now.
It could certainly affect someone's mental health and confidence.
Moving somewhat further off-topic, as a fan of vertical taskbars I also disliked Unity's take on it. In my own testing (going way back to Windows XP era), I found I much preferred right-hand side taskbar. As a left-to-right language user, when applications are full screened there are usually far more important application controls on the left hand side than the right. The obvious one being File menus on the immediate left edge, but that's not the only example. Unity tried to fix the File menu issue by doing the "merged global menu" thing similar to macOS, but it still didn't account for most of the rest of application stuff on the left hand edge.

But I also realizes that not everyone agrees with my "right-hand" taskbar preference. I agree that allowing customization is probably the best bet. It's odd to me that when one of the messages in the Windows 11 announcement was that they wanted it to be more personalizable that according to their notes they are removing an important personalization in taskbar placement. (Which has been supported to varying degrees of success all the way back to Windows 95 at this point.)

Hey HN!

Product research is a frustrating experience. On average, people visit five websites for product research before purchasing and spend many hours or even days before they finally make the purchase.

90% of the consumers check user reviews before making a purchase, making reviews the ultimate gatekeeper to a sale.

The biggest frustrations with online product research we’ve found are:

1. It's time-consuming

2. Sponsored content / Ads

3. SEO / YouTube spam

4. Fake reviews

5. Inconsistent metrics and info across sites

About four months ago, I played around with GPT-3 to approach this problem and posted it here on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26224784
After getting a lot of positive feedback, I decided to turn it into a product:

https://reviewr.ai aggregates online product reviews and provides AI-powered analysis. It's like having a team of people researching products for you.

Our mission is to make product research less complicated, more transparent, and less time-consuming for end-consumers.

Using technologies like GPT-3, BERT, and AutoML, we’ve built a service that collects product reviews from all over the web, filters and aggregates them, and presents results in simple and understandable ways.

Our core features are:

- Automated review collection

- Consumer (Amazon, Walmart, etc.)

- Article (Wirecutter, etc.)

- Video (YouTube, etc.)

- Community (Reddit, etc.)

- Review relevance/helpfulness rating

- Fake detection

- Sentiment analysis

- Keyword extraction

- Short summaries

You can see all these features in action on our public showcase: https://baqpa.com

What’s next?

Apart from improving our core features, we are working on a self-service portal where users can upload a list of products that automatically get processed within a day. Users can then conveniently access the data through an API or dashboard.

As we’re getting more and more customers, we’re working hard on the scalability and reliability of our data processing pipeline.

We will continue to work with the community to build reviewr.ai. We would love to hear your experiences, thoughts, and ideas!

True, but it doesn't sound like he was working for anyone most of the time, he was just making some stuff for personal consumption and/or for the local brothel owner.

So I'm really confused as to why he was working a job or had a boss with all that money when it seemed like he was just experimenting with drugs and hookers.

And even then, how do we know that any of these random forum posts are even legit? It certainly seems possible--he wasn't the most stable individual--but I hate to just blindly trust something I read on an internet forum that gives me no realistic way to validate that any of this is from him.
