After looking at CR and buying quite a few others I'm pretty solid on alen.com standalone units, altho a central HVAC definitely seems more effective, esp. given that you aren't necessarily recirculating a build-up of CO2 all night long.
The first 'true' smartphone I was aware of was release in 2002, the Danger Hiptop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Hiptop

In some ways it's still a better pocketable internet appliance than the slab-o-glass smartphones which replaced it.
> As it was explained to me by my attorney, that is a felony.

Apple could argue they were already going to receive the photo (since this algorithm only affects Photos destined for iCloud Photos) and thus "when in the upload process it was classified" is simply technological semantics.

> This was followed by a memo leak, allegedly from NCMEC to Apple:

Well, we certainly are the minority. If a majority of people knew and were mad we'd have protests in major cities.
Insurrection defined:

a violent uprising against an authority or government.

They violently forced their way into our capital with the idea of intimidating the government to prevent them from handling the lawful business succession insofar as counting and acknowledging the lawfully cast electoral votes.

This isn't subjective its the simple literal dictionary definition of the word.

It’s moves like this that have made me go from largely neutral in this fight to actively hating elastic.co.

It’s their fault for not differentiating their offering enough.

When I looked at logz.io, I spent hours trying to get it to work and ultimately gave up, irritated that my seemingly plain vanilla use case (send ubuntu journald logs to ES) wasn’t as straightforward as I would’ve liked. (I’m aware they aren’t affiliated with elastic, just saying there might have been an opportunity for them here)

If elastic had a way for me to blindly copy paste things into an ubuntu server that allowed me to see all my systemd logs, I would’ve happily paid them. Instead it was an endless maze of having to figure out beats vs logstash, finding a journalbeat whose documentation says it’s beta, etc.

Yet ultimately the only thing that worked was AWS ES service hooked up to vector.dev’s agent. And boy does it work amazingly well. And it’s not like Amazon is doing anything special.

It’s on them for not having differentiated and made things drop dead simple. Now they seem to want to play dirty like Oracle.
This is a very valid point. A few days back I had to rearrange my kettlebells to a different place at home. So I just carried them. Given how difficult it was walking while carrying them(Heck it was even hard getting up lifting them), I went like There is no way Im carrying this kind of weight on my body.

The example of a person with a musculoskeletal system conditioned to carrying around a 60 kg body, but weighs 120 kgs is basically competing in a Olympic powerlifting competition like situation to just do basic tasks(Using toilets, walking for everyday life tasks).

I can only imagine how hard and near impossible task it is for some one to be exercising everyday.
I think it depends. The problem solving aspect of software engineering is definitely exciting to me.

This misses the biggest problem I see that has been unquestionably standardized. Living Software. At least once a week I open an app that I use regularly and it interrupts me with a notification "we've added xyz, check it out!"....like...thanks a lot for interrupting me from using your application. Or the periodic UI revamps that force me to relearn how to use something I already knew how to use. There has to be some point where we all say..."alright...enough is enough...it's done..."
>Now maybe they did spend some time learning it and looking into, but there is no way to know for sure

Why are you so concerned on this ? Isn't the goal of a paper is to communicate information?

>It only proves that they have copy and paste.

Yes they copy paste but it doesn't prove that they don't really understand it.

They may very well found your definition is the best way to describe it.

As long as the reader of the paper understand what being communicated, imo it should be fine?

I can understand if its a school assignment where the goal is specifically to prove that the author know their stuff.

For a scientific paper, requiring a concept to be described in different way for the sake of it seem to be inefficient and wasting time.
THis is not suprising at all. It's similar to game design.

1. demanding hours and work with mediocre pay and little hope of promotion

2. no lucrative stock options ,even working for Disney or Pixar pales in comparison to how much $ Facebook,apple, netflix and amazon, workers made

3. no fat six-figure salaries.

It's one of those jobs where people do it out of a passion, so there will always be a supply of workers even if the pay is poor relative to the effort and skills required
> [...] the editor of Microprocessors and Microsystems began having concerns about the integrity and rigour of peer review for papers that had been published in some of the journal’s special issues.

> The journal’s publisher, Elsevier, launched an investigation. This is still under way, but in mid-July the publisher added expressions of concern to more than 400 papers that appeared across six special issues of the journal.

I hate to open up this topic and I hate to pick on people that are trying to fix their mistake even more, but oh boy. Elsevier has been a pain in the butt for universities and researchers alike. They leech money from both sides of the community, they sue people trying to bring science forward and they gate scientific success. And their literally only reason to keep existing was to prevent exactly this.

I've never been a big fan of the current scientific publishing model. But Elsevier is a top publisher. It's pretty damming that they have one - highly overpaid - job and they don't even do it.
> Thus far there has been no compelling answer as to why Apple needs to do this on device.

Yeah trying to switch from VSCode to Nova was the opposite experience for me.

For a while, I had that same nostalgia... everything looked great... but then, nothing really worked, the plugins were all kind of bad (half of my work is Golang, which Nova does not support), and VSCode allows you to have the same stuff on all three major platforms.

I realized the Mac software from your studios looked great, and yeah had unified Mac feel unlike the messiness of Windows world, but usually had worse functionality. (And they were all always paid.)

There was recently an article from Sketch, that says, how proud they are to have a native app in 2020.

https://www.sketch.com/blog/2020/10/26/part-of-your-world-wh...

Yeah, nice, but... Figma is not native, it has a "worse" looking/feeling app, but... allows you to collaborate instantly - it's "collaboration first", not a feature side-bolted to existing app. And it can be run anywhere.

Chromium is horrible in abstract (why do I need to take whole Chrome with every app?). But they win where matters I guess.

Just join a company that is doing good for the environment or society - they are both connected so it’s pretty broad. Think in systems, it’s how biology works and the amazing complexities of life. There’s a lot of you out there, looking for “purpose” in life. That’s rad because I find that keeps life interesting. Helping others really puts me in my happy place.

Not so much math. Life of Pi was a 2001 novel about the son of a zoo manager and his life after being shipwrecked with a Tiger.

It was made into a 2011 movie, that had a home release in 2012, which no doubt also had a anti-piracy campaign by the studio around the same time as the movie and home release.
> If that was their intention then I suspect they would have mentioned it alongside this announcement to provide a justification and quell the (justified) outrage.

It’s August. New iPhones and iOS / macOS are released in September. If they want to introduce E2E encryption for photos and need this in place to do it, then it makes sense to announce this ahead of time and get the backlash out of the way so that they can announce the headline feature during the main event without it being overshadowed.

Amazon lets fake and overpriced drop-shipped items stay. Also, Amazon lets sellers recycle items with inflated positive reviews. Better use FakeSpot.

Etsy and Ebay sellers cancel transactions to avoid negative feedback.

AliExpress sellers demand, cajole, and bribe for 5* even when they completely botch it with poor service or poor product.

Sure, but some apps allow you to choose once and henceforth save all photos sent to you. That provides a vector for someone to inject things into your iCloud.

However, I find this risk exaggerated because if someone actually does this, you can just block the app’s ability to access your camera roll in the privacy settings or stop using the app. And report the user to the service, of course.

There is rampant food inflation in the US.
The human body is 12% carbon, so every child locks up some carbon. Having children also increase the chances of raising more adults who might solve the big problems.

And don’t waste electricity virtue signaling online.
> don't have children.

I don't think this is good advice. Sure humans create more GHGs than non existent humans but nothing will make you more future oriented than having kids (assuming you want them of course) also the kinds of people that help solve climate change are likely to come from the kinds of people who frequent hacker news. If you look at who is most successful in tech, it's often people who come from upper middle class backgrounds, at least in my experience. There are a few outliers of course but they're the exception. Most people don't have the luxury of thinking about climate change
> It is a devil's advocate response, but can you explain why this is a bad thing?

I didn't state it as a bad thing, I stated it as a counter to your argument that encrypted communication is more common, and therefore maybe we should assess whether additional capabilities are warranted. Those capabilities already exist, and expanded before the increased encrypted communication (they happened during the analog phone line era). I would hazard that increasingly encrypted communication is really just people responding to that change in the status quo (or overreach, depending on how you view it) brought about by the major powers (whether they be governmental or corporate).
> Internet Archive and Open Library ... to a much greater degree ... have not. And much of the material there is the result of Google scans

Are Google scans really in the Open Library? If so, that's very interesting.

The Open Library does seem to be operating under the shadow of copyright law, since it deployed DRM that attempts to eliminate some of the innate properties (unlimited readers, instant free copying and distribution, etc.) of ebooks, presumably to avoid copyright claims - and then got in trouble for reducing those restrictions briefly during a global pandemic.
Vyvanse changed my life, truly. Most of the amphetamine class of drugs "work" for me but their side effects are/were nearly intolerable, especially in hindsight (high school was miserable; daily stomach cramps & tons of social anxiety, despite being very focused/incredibly effective).

When Vyvanse came along it completely changed my life -- all of the benefits of the 'basic' existing drugs, zero side effects. I can barely tell if I've taken my medicine in a given day or not, aside from the ability to focus; but I eat, sleep, and am socially the same as "normal" with Vyvanse, I don't feel it 'coming on' or 'wearing off', etc...

The only downside is that it's still not generic -- so it runs me around $10/day. My ideal dose really seems to be two lower-doses per day and no insurance will cover that, meaning it'd cost me $20/day+ (this is with $1500/mo+ insurance), which means I just make do with what's reasonable.

That said, it truly has changed my life -- I went from being a low-GPA high-school student who could code, but couldn't focus (or stay motivated) about much anything, for any period of time. To founding a company, having a mildly successful exit at 18, and then going on to be CTO, and subsequently founded multiple companies.

Don't get me wrong, I still have my personal struggles (like anyone else) but, if it wasn't for Vyvanse, I think I'd be lucky to own a house -- much less live in a paid-off house & be happily married with amazing children.
I love Google Photos. Especially the AI search! So great.

The only thing is I wish it had the smart photo off-loading of iOS Photos. I don't want to delete all synched pictures from my phone, only the least recent ones. So I can still send the new ones to family without re-downloading. Why cannot I do that? iOS Photos can do that.
People who want open source search should take another look at Solr, it's doing fine.
Firstly, audit your emissions and make some changes for the easy wins. You can make large savings without committing to 0 children, 0 meat, 0 petrol cars.

Next, act horizontally: help other reduce their emissions.

Repeat. Stay ahead of the curve to avoid hypocrisy.

As a technologist, you have lots of options to help horizontally.

Technology will play a role in mitigating climate change, and it's not ready yet.

* Profile your machines for energy usage. Try to maximise power saved. File bugs and write patches. As an example, GNOME does not support suspend-then-hibernate, and nor does secure boot.

* Build an open database of vampire devices. How can consumers decide which devices to avoid? Are there cheap workarounds?

* Help make the transition to clean sources by improving software for controlling and graphing inverters.

* Build tools to allow people to measure and reduce their consumption.

* Build a HTML5 version of https://www.withouthotair.com/ . Put it on GitHub and allow people to contribute country-specific figures.

* Work on cycling routing apps.

* Build a site to crowdsource requests for electric vehicle charging stations.

* Tell others about what you do.

Err towards action over picking the perfect project.

If you don't have the capacity sustain a project, contribute to an existing one instead.

Take energy saving technology that is usable by 0.5% of users, and make it usable by 5% of users.

Build these tools into your life routines, so you use them as a user.
Why?
The media companies have always done so.
The press is and always was "patricians" of printing press discourse. You can't say whatever you like on a news paper.
The TV companies and Cable companies are and always were "patricians" of tv programming. You can't say whatever you like on a tv program.
The publishing companies are and always were "patricians" of the books. You can't say whatever you like on a book and get them to print it, promote it and distribute if they disagree.
Radio companies are and always were "patricians" of the radio waves, you need a license to operate a radio and they decide what gets on air.

Why the double standard?

Now, you can say whatever you like on the internet, you just are not entitle to force other people and companies to give you a platform to do so. Facebook, Youtube, this site, etc., doesn't owe you sh#t. If you want to publish something that they don't like, host it and promote it yourself, just as if you want to put something in the news that they don't like, or on TV or on the radio or on a book.

The insane and childish authoritarianism of the author of this article that believes that "Mail Chimp" doesn't tell him what to do with their service but instead he is the one that tells them how to run their private for profit company is both comical and sad. If you don't like the terms of service, stop using their service. That's how that works. If you think that they are infringing on your rights, them take them to court, don't click bait about it.

> they did it as a part of an explicit strategy

Yep. First they embraced the browser by building some nice shiny, er, Chrome on top of WebKit.

Then, they proceeded to extend it, and extend it, and extend it. While paying Mozilla to stay in business, to avoid antitrust attention.

Now they've very nearly extinguished the other engines.

What can I say, they learned from the best.

Isn’t this just a consequence of American capitalism? Incentivise companies to optimize for profit, and they’ll do anything to rake in more ad money including violating people’s privacy and curating user-submitted content. We’ll have to fundamentally rethink entire economies before we could see large companies (if they would be, at all, allowed to exist) acting ethically.
>The entire technical infrastructure to scan your entire device for arbitrary content is being built and deployed.

It's a proprietary OS. This literally could exist already and you would have zero clue.
It's a fair question. They were foreigners submitting to an American journal, so there is always the possibility for some sort of cultural misunderstanding in addition to any language difficulties. Nonetheless, the journal's submission process provides authors with a page listing ethical standards they have to follow, and it says that plagiarism of any form is not allowed. In fact, this journal's particular set of standards even mentions that authors cannot copy anything obtained during the peer review process without the "explicit permission" of the reviewer. So I just expect them to follow the rules that they were told about when they submitted the paper.
> Apple's license agreement says that they own the operating system, but that doesn't give them permission to search whenever they want or to take content.

There is 0 probability that an academic author who wants to write about artificial intelligence does not know the English term.

Why do you think a lawsuit would be fruitless? Yes courts move slow, but there is clear harm here. The federal government bears responsibility over this land. If they don’t want it, then they should hand the land over to the states, or otherwise compensate those states affected. There have been many disputes about water rights over the years that are similar to this. I would bet this will happen eventually.
I am very concerned about inflation.

I wish the fed would raise interest rates.

These low rates only seem to help the wealthy, and prop up an overvalued stock market.

While the wealthy see their stocks skyrocketing, the poor and middle class just see higher living costs. I guess if you can afford a house the low interest rates are nice?

In the 90's I used to get $400 a year on my sweaty cd wad. (I can't afford to gamble with stocks.)

The other day I took out a few thousand from my cd, and was concerned about the early withdrawal which is tied to current interest accumulation. The fee was 49 cents.

Personally, I feel the reason the fed tax rate is so low is because Powell knows this stock market is truly a house of cards. Most business are way overvalued. He's scared to death
it will crash on a scale that won't be as bad as '29, but the wealthy will lose most of their cash.

I have never seen a bull market go on for this long.

Almost in every other I have watched the professional stock boys wait until the last retail investor put in his last dime, and they pull all their money out.

I felt it was doing to implode a few moths ago with all the NFT's, and glamour puss celebrity SPAC's being pimped, but no.

I feel if that hastily put together, nebulous, pork filled 2700 pages, infrastructure bill, which seems like it will basically be a gift to contractors (like Ghilotti Family syndicate types). It will produce very few union blue collar jobs that will not last. If it does pass we might not see a big stock market crash for a bit longer, but it's coming.

Instead of the Infrastructure bill, I would rather see a Basic Income. Poor people who didn't work got nothing out of the pandemic money. Homeless got nothing out of the handout.

Let's do the infrastructure spending when we have a clue to where the money is going?

Ok--to those who can't afford to lose money, get your money out of those overvalued stocks.

The crash is coming.

(Sorry about the rant. I have watched the stock market decimate the little guys over the years. The wealthy slowly pull out, but the retail investor gets whacked.)
This is why copyright should be ~10 years. Most money is made within the first year and it's a steep drop off after.
The general theory is that a virus avoids evolving in a way that is too dangerous to its host because the sooner the host dies the less potential the virus has to spread. As the vaccinated have a weaker response to the virus there is no longer as strong evolutionary pressure against the virus becoming more lethal.

A real life/modern example of this can be found in Marek's disease in chickens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marek%27s_disease#Prevention

The counter claim seems to be that because vaccination reduces the abundance of the virus there is a lower chance of mutations. It's hard to say which effect is stronger and it probably varies greatly by virus and by vaccine!
