I totally get the utility of decorating and customizing a phone. It's a way to personalize the device. So, to your point that I'm missing the point-- it's not lost on me.

I just think the companies are delivering the equivalent of a baby with no skin and a tiny stomach. It's a precious thing you want to hold every day, but it doesn't come with even basic outer protections from damage, and it can't stomach enough food to produce the energy it needs to live throughout the day. BUT, Johnson and Johnson (inventor of babies) will be glad to sell you a silicone baby skin or the waterproof baby case. And there's Ultra-Tum®-- a stomach addon with normal baby-stomach capacity to keep your little tyke chugging along all day! Like, bitch, just make a damn baby with skin and a normally sized stomach!

Obviously the above is hyperbole (and I'm trying to do my best Keaton Patti impression), but I really think the designers are in a special position where they're the best-suited party to just make a damn phone with a case built in and a high-capacity battery, even at the cost of sleekness.
Yes, it's a public performance more than a conversation.
The article confirmed my knowledge. Around here if the eggs are washed and sanitized then you refrigerate them out of caution.

Last year we got a flock of chickens. They are happy, free-range, and "expensive". But we have loads of eggs and constantly give them away. We've seen everyone immediately wash and refrigerate them, regardless. It's just what people are used to.

We give away the "pretty" eggs. Mine, I pick off the hay and scrub off dried poop before cracking. Even so there really is no comparison between the bland, bleach-white eggs at the supermarket and organic ones grown from happy chickens with a balanced diet.

I think most people aren’t comfortable building a strung together shell environment, full of third-party tools to enable things like completion, search, sessions, etc.

HN might have a lot of people who do, but I’d anecdotally wager that even that isn’t much.

Having a terminal that has everything out of the box, without breaking due to incompatibility between the various tools, is a MASSIVE improvement.
Personally, my processing speed and reaction time fell off a cliff in my early 40s. I used to be a more aggressive driver but had to back off because I can't handle the flood of information now. It's easy to overlook things and miss objects and cars so I have to check twice.
Once I was taking a weekend trip down to San Diego with my now wife, and we decided to look at some open houses. It started raining - not super hard, but a fair bit. Most of the open houses we showed up to ended up not happening as a result.

One of them did, though, and I spoke to the agent showing the house for a while about San Diego real estate. When I moved down to San Diego, he helped me buy a home and find a space to lease for my new business. I'm almost certainly going to have him help me find some real estate investments in the future as well.

Unlike everybody else, he showed up that day, and it's made him tens of thousands of dollars with more to come.
That indeed shows intent and meaning ...

... Although I would count myself amongst the first to be happily surprised if climate change as a problem has reached enough "mindshare" and currency that a reference to the "crisis" inmediately brings "climate change" to mind. And it might have, and I am just out of the mainstream lately :)
OK, but we censor calls for violence whether they come from the right or from the left. We censor child porn whether it comes from a Democrat or a Republican. There's no bias there (at least, there's not supposed to be). Censoring based on viewpoint is far different from censoring copyright violations.
I don't. If they did, they'd recognize the fact that the entire concept of "Apps", collaboration, etc..., are examples of ways human beings assemble tools to interact.

Terminals are one of the most direct ways to interact with hardware. If you need to share your hardware with someone else, then you share your screen or a recording. If you need to share your environment or she'll settings, you share scripts.

There's nothing to terminal use to be gained by trying to shoehorn in more net connections, and more uncertainty by merging in more sources of input. By cramming that in you are doing the opposite of caring about users. You're introducing extra elements that can break, decreasing the overall learnability of the system.

This feels like when Microsoft pays for TV characters to use Bing instead of Google. It doesn’t make Bing look cooler, it just makes the TV shows look cheap.
I think some ICEs are indeed beautiful, and that beauty is gone with all-electric cars. I think there's no beauty at all in any of the Teslas, which I understand is tantamount to heresy on a website like this. I also prefer a less accurate and less featureful automatic mechanical wrist watch to any kind of "smart" watch.

> They don't hold such a patent, at least as far as I know. Which is presumably how their competitors like ClearInk, Reinkstone are able to be in business.

They do seem to hold rather a lot of patents (https://patents.justia.com/assignee/e-ink-corporation), though I don't have the domain knowledge to know whether any of these are "unavoidable" in the domain in the way that e.g. software engineering process patents tend to be.

Perhaps their competitors actually license some of them? Or are in a patent pooling arrangement?

> It would be the equivalent of me believing that Google was strangling the market of innovation in search engines

I mean, with the PageRank patent, they... sort of were?

Nobody could come up with anything nearly as optimal as Google's approach for a long time, let alone more optimal; the next-best algorithms were way less good. And so we didn't see any real Google Search competitors — competitors competing on index quality against Google — after Google came into the market. (There's still nobody with a better raw index than Google's, AFAIK.)

The original PageRank patent expired in 2015. A lot of advancement in the search space happened in 2015! Bing got a lot better, for one. Guess why? :)

(Of course, companies that were somewhat immune to America's WIPO power — e.g. the government-backed conglomerates of China/Russia — have just been using PageRank or algorithms analogous to it in their web search services since the beginning. It was only the, er, NATO-member-country web-search-engine market that effectively stalled out.)

> Japan’s often-cited conviction rate of over 99 percent is a percentage of all prosecuted cases, not just contested cases. It is eye-catching, but misleading, since it counts as convictions those cases in which defendants pleaded guilty. If the U.S. conviction rate were calculated in a similar manner it would also exceed 99 percent since so few cases are contested at trial (in FY 2018 only 320 of the total number of 79,704 federal defendants were acquitted at trial).[0]

Your hypothesis is based on some utopian assumptions. I can't tell you how many people whose views or mannerisms I hate, and who I can't stand being around. Forcing me to eat with anyone, let alone strangers, would only make me dislike them more and cause tension. My utopian solution is for people to have more space and be farther apart, rather than everybody crammed up in cities.

One of the more interesting sayings I have come across lately is: People overestimate how much they can get done in the short term but they underestimate how much they can get done in the long term.

I see this all the time with friends who pick up the guitar as a hobby. Often someone practices intensely for one week or one month and then gets frustrated at their progress. That frustration often causes people to give up. Now I see it as a mismatch between short-term estimation/expectations. The frustration is caused by overestimating how much progress they think they should make in the short-term. The quitting is caused by underestimating the progress they could make in the long term.
The password probably was not stored in plaintext (if you've been to University in the last thirty years), but IT staff might have periodically ran a password-cracking tool in order to find weak passwords (and swear words in various languages will certainly be in their dictionary). They alert the user and request the password to be changed (might disable the weak one) in order to safeguard their network.
Always good to have awareness. To me there's likely a lot you could contribute anyway. Maybe even just emailing companies and telling them you like what they're doing. There are fewer than 2,000 people working on carbon removal worldwide. "Inspire" is still needed.

I've tried learning Spanish theee different times - a course at university, a course at an employer and now with Duolingo.

The results I've got from Duolingo have been by far the best - a little very day works way better for me than a larger commitment of time in shorter bursts.

I can now read tweets from Spanish language Twitter accounts and understand them 90% of the time (CNN and BBC News in Spanish are great).

I took some in-person lessons via video chat to practice conversational Spanish which was also useful, and I'm hoping to spend a few months fully embedded in a Spanish speaking country some time in the future - but I don't feel the need to rush things. I'll be happy getting incrementally more vocabulary and grammar in 10-15 minutes a day for a long time to come.
> do not permit developers to spin up their own email systems without audit and regulatory retention

If they freak out over an SMTP server but don't freak out over a web server, then the are indeed absolutely utterly incompetent fools that should never work in this space.

In both cases code written by the company developers will eventually process untrusted textual input, and you need to deal with that with the same level of caution, and the protocol does nothing to change that.

> You could work around it but should you? You're exposing the company to fines and commiting a fireable offense. Better find another product that's easier to deploy.

I would not work around it - I would make the case that there's no difference in exposing a carefully chosen SMTP server than exposing a web server, and if the security team fail to understand that, I'd resign, because it'd be a massive red flag, and I've been successful enough to be in a position to not need to work for companies like that.

For that matter, in 25 years in this business I've yet to run into your hypothetical scenario, including at large companies, so I'm not at all convinced it'd be a genuine problem. Yes, I've been at companies where I'd need to provide a justification for getting a port opened. But never once had an issue getting it approved - including SMTP.

> P.S. SMTP is trivially identifiable on ANY port, it's giving a line of text when the TCP connection is opened.

I was responding to "Security will never open the firewall for email ports.". Point being that if they care about the specific port numbers, it doesn't matter.

[And I'll again point out I've actually run infrastructure like this].
While there has been a lot of progress on consumer vehicles, and electric cars are common, things like large trucks aren't really available yet. You can't get a Tesla semi; best hope is for early next year. The first Tesla trucks are due out this year, but the Ford ones not until next year.

20 years is a lot, but you're talking about completely shifting a market to something that literally doesn't exist yet. And that means creating infrastructure: it will take a lot to charge a semi. These are heavy vehicles designed to go 800 miles without significant down time.

So, yeah, maybe they could push harder. But it would be incredibly aggressive to make it 2030 -- for vehicles that don't exist and may not be available in sufficient numbers by then, at any price. Maybe call it 2035, but at that point we're talking about minor differences.

The main thing now is to make it clear that it's something they're going to do, so start planning to shift your fleet and don't come whining in 2030 when you say you can't do it in a measly 10 years. You had 20.
I mean, I'd be for Germany reactivating some of the nuclear power plants they shut down in the panic after Fukushima. But the lead time on a nuclear plant is long and wind/solar have reached the point where they can be rolled out at similar quantities much quicker and cheaper.

It was a mistake not to go nuclear to get rid of fossil fuel plants 20 years ago. The window for new installations is closing rapidly as renewables improve however.

This is strictly base pay, but the bonuses are simply not that good for the average SWE at the banks, because as others have said, technologists are seen as a supporting role. There are exceptions, but a much more senior coworker of mine that worked at a number of HF's and banks once told me a good rule of thumb is that the further away you are from executing a trade, the lower your comp. Of course, management doesn't really follow that rule.

This is all with worse work/life balance, low flexibility, (GS was the first big bank to recall everyone and enforce working on site I believe.), a 'conservative' tech stack if you're lucky or a simply unpleasant one if you're not, and generally not being valued the same way as you would be at a FAANG or typical tech company.
This ignores the obvious. What parts are not changing with a distro hop?

Are those parts vulnerable to the NSA?

I believe due to what was made public, that they do have that capability.

I would suggest more research. If you are actually changing distros every month, that seems like a very manual process, with many points to use an insecure config. I think your time could be better spent hardening a current system.

And yes the NSA could own your box every month (and would) if it suited them.

Check out this link, this stuff is fascinating.

> In some cases, the NSA has modified the firmware of computers and network hardware—including systems shipped by Cisco, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Huawei, and Juniper Networks—to give its operators both eyes and ears inside the offices the agency has targeted. In others, the NSA has crafted custom BIOS exploits that can survive even the reinstallation of operating systems. And in still others, the NSA has built and deployed its own USB cables at target locations—complete with spy hardware and radio transceiver packed inside.

That's probably the best advice. These courses can't do anything about Youtube's algorithm changes, which is ultimately what will determine virality.

If your channel is not about toys, makeup tutorials or culture war commentary, it's unlikely your content will ever break through. So you might as well just go for a "good enough" video instead of a perfectly manicured one, because the algorithm doesn't seem to care either way.

Governments of this planet are not moving quickly enough on climate change with small incremental changes over time. However, people and organizations who champion these efforts can pressure governments to drive faster change.

Therefore to protect all of humanity globally now and for the future of our posterity I am committing to the following.
I pledge to limit eating red meat. I will restrict intake of cows and lambs etc. If I choose to have children, I will have 2 or less. I will try to use cycling or mass transit options whenever possible and to participate in efforts to expand transit. I will restrict flying to only when necessary and try to limit flying to only when no other choice is available. If I do fly I will try to offset all emissions. I will try my utmost to conserve energy and minimize use of heating and cooling appliances. I will try my best to limit energy use to renewable sources when I have the choice. When I cannot choose I will fight for the ability to have this choice. I will try to help those close to me understand these choices and the need for those able, to also join the pledge. I will only consume what I need. I will not perpetuate extravagance and will only support companies who champion sustainable efforts. I will do my best to strive for and support sustainable and minimalist technology. I will stay involved in the public discourse on environmental issues and stay engaged on efforts to mitigate climate change.
Did you complete the first level of the three, or have you got to purple status on every lesson?

I find that getting all the way it purple on every lesson has been massively more effective for me than just doing the lower level lessons.
If it's a language your proficient in, as an HN user it can be interesting to see the language in the title.

That said, it's particularly bizarre for a closed source product, where the language is completely irrelevant ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, I like how simple HN is, but sometimes I wish for "tags", at least for project languages - that would keep the title "cleaner", while still including the language for anyone interested. Would be cool to search HN posts by language too.
I'm not sure that there were actually new details here? The ability to join the two packs in series for a higher voltage was well known for a while now.

It will be interesting to see how they manage the claim of safe charging to 100%. Most other companies are doing that by adding a large buffer. It wouldn't surprise me if that is the case with GM as well.
Make sure you also imagine that competent public transport and/or active transportation options are pretty widely available as alternatives.

> Microsoft should beat AWS's offering here because well, they make the OS that they are virtualizing.

Not necessarily. They have already had a similar service. This seems to be a simplification of that service? Maybe it's sort of like Amazon offering Lightsail as an alternative to EC2? After clicking around the site for a half hour trying to figure out pricing for Azure Virtual Desktops, I gave up. I figured if you have to ask how much it is, then I can't afford it. Now they are launching a service seemingly directed to users like me, but they still can't give us prices. I assume they will in time for launch, but I'm getting really sick of hunting for prices on Azure. Every minute I have spent on that site has been wasted.

I doubt they would beat AWS on pricing. The AWS instances appear to be really well priced relative to what you could get if you tried to do the same with EC2. I couldn't see MS being as cheap. From what I remember, Azure is generally more expensive across the board.
I thought about moving to C# but we didn't really need the power so I didn't bother.
