Maybe we should have global tax or mandatory insurance on shooting stuff in phase. Proceedings would be used to cover cleanup costs for accidents.

Private companies would then compete on specific cleanup tasks.
It looks like I misread the article so this is a bit of a moot point here, but I wasn't talking about $3.3MM in liquid net worth. I was talking about $3.3MM in angel investments (which are illiquid) - and that would mean at least $22MM in net worth.
Speak to some gamedevs at various sizes of studios. You'll hear stories like "We can make this game with ads/microtransactions/DLC to fund part of the development, or we can not make this game at all due to lack of funding."

I can already tell you what happened, Edwin. From your CEO himself:

> We actually have an ongoing project to reduce the occurrence of these mistaken rejections by 90% by the end of this year. I think we’ll succeed at it. (They’re already down 50% since earlier this year.)

> is an attempt to put people with different biological traits into 'buckets' but in reality there's variation

But this is true for everything. For example "night and day" - these are just buckets, but nobody would argue that there are no differences between night and day because of that.
> I think Apple's problem here is that they don't want to cannibalize OS X sales with tablets…

This seems unlikely. Tablet sales are way more of their business than the Mac. My guess is they’d be happy to Tablets consume the Mac altogether.

You must have missed the announcement that Swift Playgrounds will be able to build complete apps and submit them to the store.
I didn't want to bag on sklearn (I've already bagged on pandas enough here), but for what it's worth I agree with you. It's, ahh, not the API I would've come up with. It's what everybody has standardized on, though, and maybe there's some value in that.
> Steve Jobs with his distortion field used to say RISC was better than Intel right up until they switched to Intel, then the story switched.

He generally made specific claims which were true — for example, when they added AltiVec they talked about media processing and other SIMD-friendly tasks — and then let the press/fanboys generalize that. Towards the end they also started talking about things like battery life or software features when there simply wasn't a compelling comparison like that.
As always with the iPhone specs, Apple lists every detail such as the list of audio codecs or the document types supported in the Mail application, but "forgets" to mention the RAM. So I guess it's not much RAM as always.
I think you're also discounting that Amazon probably paid him several million dollars to film that show and he also made a lot of stupid and poor decisions for the purpose of entertainment. So while a lot of his struggles are real his actual revenue number is completely unreliable. Also most farms don't start off by buying a several hundred thousand pound Lamborghini tractor and getting all of their equipment every year.

That's sad the show is great entertaining and informative so totally watch it
There's barely a lightning ecosystem left now—the only remaining products are the entry-level iPad, AirPods {,Pro, Max}, and the computer peripherals.
Not surprising, because computing mean is O(n) and median is O(n log n).

Lack of resources or pure laziness doesn't make it the right measure to use though.
A n W is the most popular well liked fast food in my friend group, and imho the best quality chain in Canada.
This just reminds me of the composer Soyo Oka, who did the music for some great games, like SimCity (SNES), SimCity (NES, unreleased), Super Mario Kart (SNES), Pilotwings (SNES), etc. She said that in making the SimCity music she wanted it to feel comfy while building the city, not hectic or frustrating. And god, what a masterpiece of a game and music. I still play it 30 years later.
I doubt they'll make the iPhone 2 mm thicker. More likely they'll keep the current thinness but use periscope cameras to eliminate the bump.
> What a disappointing event: a bunch of iterative updates.

Is that not the pattern Apple has followed since the release of the original iPhone? This is an "off" year, the device would have been called the 12S but they stopped that pattern a while back.
I’ve been using a 3rd party magnetic wallet and one of the challenges is that the magnet is so strong that sometimes I struggle to pull the phone out of my jeans pocket.

Taiwan is less than twice the size of Israel, so they would only need to create a few bombs, attach perpetual countdown timers to them and smuggle them into Beijing. If China attacks Taiwan, the bombs don't get reset and go of. If China does the same to Taiwan they have a mutally assured destruction.

It's entirely possible for an attacker with 100 stolen identities to make 100 $30/day accounts and move $3,000/day. or $6,000/day if they've stolen the person's government ID. It'll take just over 2 weeks to move $100k at that rate.
No wifi 6e, interesting.
How long have you had the watch? After a few years with the Series 4 it barely lasts more then a few hours. I've taken to not even wearing it anymore.

While I'm interested in an updated model, unless the battery story is significantly better then my prior experience, I can't justify the amount of money.
I got a Coros watch that requires charging every 24 days if not using GPS tracking. With tracking, it's 25 hours. The Apple watches just don't cut it for serious endurance sports.
Maybe not that difficult. We already have sequenced the mammoth genome [1]. We have CRISPR technology. We can do a diff between the mammoth genome and the elephant one, and we start editing the elephant one small segment at a time, like in a game of word ladder. We IV fertilize an elephant female, and we get a hybrid. After a few steps, we might end up with an actual mammoth.

Many small steps make one big step. iPhone releases haven't been for the people who get a new one every year for ages.

They are for the ones whose phone is so old that the latest iOS stopped supporting it.

Think about the amazing leap you get from an iPhone 6 to iPhone 13? That's not "iterative", it's damn revolutionary.
Yup. It's incredibly irritating to have devices from the same manufacturer require different cords. Apple should have moved all the iDevices to USB-C at the same time OR left them all on Lightning. As it is now, I have phones with Lightning, tablets and laptops with USB-C, and watches with a proprietary dongle.

Le Sigh.

You're the only one talking about a "degoogled phone."
I completely agree with your point but just wanted to note that iSH is available on the App Store (and hasn't been booted out as of now by some miracle) and love it to bits.
Well, the first one was a mis-designed piece of crap, so I don't mind that as much, though keeping it in use on some newer models after v2 was released does suck.

(source for assertion about them being crap: I own one—the bad part's entirely the terrible charging/connector design, but that part's nearly parody-levels of bad)
This article also has long form responses. I'd love to see a reasoned contrary response.
When I'm not being a frontend dev I do a bit of wildlife photography. I really wish Apple made an actual camera. Their camera tech is great, their software is first class, but phone cameras are limited in sensor size and lens size simply by being phones. If Apple took their tech and put it in a dSLR size package with a first class lens (or interchangeable lenses) that would be truly awesome.
There are plenty of frameworks. Check out Helidon, Quarkus, Micronaut as examples of modern frameworks. You might like them. They’re not bound to servlet API.
I didn't? I opined web browser "manufacturers" should be liable, like airplane manufacturers. That seems certain to me.

Whether automatic liability makes sense, as argued in OP about workplace safety, is less certain, but probably yes. Many zero days are triggered by just clicking a link. For such cases, it is hard to argue one is operating it wrong.
Ebooks Are an Abomination
Baffling considering that they are putting USB-C in ipads.
It was rumored the Series 7 had production issues; the "later this fall" basically confirms it.

The complete lack of tech specs is weird despite that though.
Could you expand? I think you might have your logic backwards, but it's unclear.
If only it were that simple.

Firstly these vacancies cover all jobs. Including seasonal Jobs which were traditionally filled by EU workers. Lots of farms struggling to hire this year. There are also lots of part time roles to fill in around furloughed workers.

In a broader sense, jobs need to be in the same places as the people. The UK housing market is such that moving (even to rent) is very slow and expensive. Commuting in both overcrowded and extortionately expensive. If we want poor people to work in our overpriced cities, we have to subsidise comfortable and fast public transport.

Two hours of childcare for one child costs one hour of minimum wage work. Families with more than one child literally can't afford to work. It's also hard to find childcare! More employers could get involved here but it would be more efficient to make 1yo+ childcare free for 30 hours, means assessed.

So yes, higher pay helps, but there are many things that block people from returning to work.
Modern AAA games are incredibly expensive. This isn't a few devs doing late nights for a few months, it's hundreds of designers, artists, level designers, developers, testers, marketers, and more for long timelines. All of those people need plenty of hardware, and they all collect salaries and (hopefully) benefits.

You can't just quit your day job, live off your savings for a bit, and make a game like this. You need a big team with funding set up ahead of time, and that finding won't be released - either by external investors or management at a studio - unless you expect to make a return on that investment.
No, it simply means that the market conditions changed. The price could very well have been a fair market value before, and still is a fair market value after; and the delta of these prices reflects the impact of the new conditions.

The big screen + keyboard might be the headline feature, and as silly as it sounds it may be enough.
Everyone commenting about bezels being huge :-/ people, bezels are there so you can hold the tablet more comfortably.

Anyone who made extended usage of tablets with and without bezels can quickly figure this out. It is more ergonomic, it reduces accidental touching and screen occlusion.
A 20% screen size increase is pretty significant.

There are a huge range of sensors they can add in future.
If it ain't broke don't fi it or something like that.
The reason Apple keeps forcing us to use lightning cable while everybody else uses USB-C is, well, money. Apple gets paid for every lightning cable sold and would leave a lot of money on the table if we could simply use any of the USB-C ones available everywhere.

Life would be easier with USB-C, and that day will come, but Apple will certainly put it off as long as they can.
The only thing less original and meaningful are the complaints!
I totally agree. The A&W burger in Canada is superior to other fast-food chains hands down. It seems to be A&W in name only.
I have an Apple SE Cellular that is activated. I generally do one hour runs, then 2 hour bike rides tracking the whole time. I take it off the charger around 4:30 am, and by 9 pm at night, I generally have 40% left.

I never, never, carry my iPhone outside the house anymore. And in a perfect world, I could activate my Apple Watch eSIM standalone, and I would throw my iPhone away. It is liberating.
Makes it extra curious why this phone and iOS 15 scanning all your photos were supposed to roll out together
> The problem isn't the units, themselves (inches, etc). It's that their relation isn't 10.

That's a feature. 10 isn't divisible by 3.
To the contrary, it's sparked quite the deep discussion about marketing hype, software companies, and views about the same across the world.

More valuable, perhaps, than discussing an incremental upgrade to the iPad Mini?
I thought larger parts aren't as big of an issue in the majority of cases as most orbits aren't stable and they'll eventually fall to earth or be ejected into outer space.
Yeah, the place that proudly claims to be producer of most mediocre whiskies in the world.

To be fair no true Scotsmen would do such thing.
No from saying “last detached” I’m betting it’s just adding a hook into the phone that logs the current location each time the wallet is removed from the back of the phone. There’s really not space in the current design of the wallet that you could squeeze an AirTag into.
It feels weird to me. Maybe it's just the current American culture that feels off for a European like myself. It is over directed and over produced. Zero spontaneity. I would rather watch Elon throw a metal ball into a car window during a presentation. At least that is real.

Change the way movies are directed, because of this new phone? Give me a break. I'm sure it will produce nicer TikTok and YouTube videos but no serious director is going to shoot a million dollar production with a 1000 dollar phone.
Piling up on the Canadians who like A&W thread. It’s our go-to fast food chain, burgers are of decent quality, their vegetarian option is reasonably good, and the root beer is delicious.
nothing exciting really, watch updates are dismal. The only interesting update with iPhone seems the camera but will wait for independent reviews to confirm the quality improvements.
But not at the end of the week. Try a Garmin with the fenix style display. Its a game changer when coming from a daily charge watch like I did.

I've forgotten my Garmin charger, gone on a weekend trip where I did hikes w/GPS, and come home with plenty of battery life to spare. I could never have done that with my previous watches (or with an Apple watch).
Ask HN: How does Twitter do SEO if their site renders using JavaScript
If you try too visit twitter.com with Javascript disabled, you will get a <noscript> error. If Twitter can't render, how does Google index it? I know Google most probably renders JS pages as well but let's imagine it doesn't. How would then Twitter be indexed??
Ask HN: Easiest Smartwatch Platform to Develop For?
I want to make simple apps for myself:
1. On my computer, I use a program called human (https://github.com/dnsosebee/human). It's pretty simple: you make scripts for yourself, where when you run them you get 1 line of instruction at a time. For example, an exercise script might be:
get yoga mat and phone
go outside with yoga mat and lay it down
use fitness app on phone for exercise routine

while this one might seem simple, have some routines (especially my night routine) codified makes them both easier to actually run alongside being easier to improve over time.
I'd like to be able to run these programs on a smartwatch instead of only on my laptop (since it's much more convenient that waywhile outside)

2. I want to be able to quickly log issues/mistakes during the day. What I have in mind is something like: [trigger voice assistant] record mistake [details of mistake] and then have it add that to a list I can review at the end of the day. or to have an app I can open and tap to trigger something similar.

I think this might rule out android wear since apparently you can't run custom commands.

What do you guys think? Any recommendations?
They really picked the wrong time to roll it out though. R
Typing my complex password multiple times a day when I wear a mask is a bummer.
The presumption is that they’d begin building them once they decide that America won’t guarantee their safety, not once China declares war.
Yep, I often find it useful to limit framerate to a number I know my GPU can handle so that I don't get as much stuttering. It's better to run at 60 FPS all the time than 80 FPS most of the time but with stuttering.
> Are you handling users behind a NAT using a TURN server too?

Most NAT's do not need TURN, only STUN. TURN is basically a worst-case solution.
Well yeah, it's the thing in their name and therefore must be the most popular item.
> I don't deny that people have real reasons for wanting radical change. But they should know that the overwhelming likelihood is that overthrowing the system is going to lead to a system that is much less just and far more corrupt.

The problem is that the centrist impulse to avoid breaking anything that "works" has been successfully exploited to prevent effective action to address a large number of real problems. At some point, people sense the bullshit and it starts to be rational to pick revolution to escape the trap. A big thing revolution has going for it is that it's a way to break out of local maxima and eliminate path dependent problems (by backtracking and picking a different path).
I really like Steven Pinker's work. And while I agree that quality of life has immensely improved over the last ten decades with reduced poverty and reduced child mortality and improved health, I just wish he could provide similar data when it comes to the general health of the ecosystem and climate change.

Predatory ecosystem exploitation and climate change (or - as we oldsters love to call it - global warming) are _the_ defining crises of our times. And we're failing to master them.

We're failing so hard that very likely reach 2°C or more by 2050. And that would be fatal for humanity. Not the earth, earth will be fine, give or take a few hundred thousand years. But humanity will be toast if it ever comes to that.

Unfortunately all statistics on our precious ecosystem - in quite a contrast to the statistics about development, health and wealth - are pointing to a dark path.
iPhones are increasingly cameras the other features, of which the actual "phone" part is almost trivially unimportant. Personally I'm actually happy about these updates (I've skipped the last many generations) and I really hoped for and got a tele zoom.

Only thing I would have liked different was a slightly bigger phone (for a bigger display).
The neighbourhood I live in has exactly one artery in and out.

This artery has multiple splinter-off points after a point, but there is a choke point where if things go bad you have no choice but to wait or fight for your chance of which escape into the wider//bigger world of roads you want.

I'm not sure why I noticed this whilst I live here yet I did.

Perhaps reading "Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why" had something to do with it.
if golang error handling is a good way of handling errors that should be the correct implementation
AirPods using lightning is one of the more obnoxious Apple decisions in the last 5 years or so. Even long after the iPhone has moved on to USB-C or no port at all, your AirPods Max will still force you to charge with Lightning.

I guess it's a good thing that everybody's AirPods and AirPods Pro are going to be dead in a couple of years, so if they update them to use USB-C they won't hang around too long. Thanks, poor battery longevity!
Yes, but they don't do that on other models of iPad, not just the phone, and again, most people put these things straight in cases, so they've usually (and correctly, despite complaints on Web forums) designed their devices so they won't be too bulky once a case is added, past the early generations when they kinda needed the bezel for space reasons (though, again, even the now-ancient first-gen mini barely had side bezels)
I almost made the plunge on the iPhone last year, but I simply cannot move backwards after USB-C. My Macbook and my Pixel charge on the same cable, it is bananas.

FYI it is spelled "SKU", a Stock Keeping Unit.
This clip from the latest (full-priced) entry in the NBA 2K series has been going around the last few days. Truly pushing boundaries in in-game advertising. You can visit a State Farm retail outlet and talk to an employee who says what a big fan he is and gives you a State Farm employee uniform you can wear in the off-court parts of the game.

Apple's privacy innovations are unique, and I wonder whether Google will follow along. With Apple relay and mail protection you have TOR lite for grandma when browsing or using mail.
Why does the RAM matters?

I never had an issue with an application on iPhone due to RAM nor saw any reference on App Store for an app requiring at least X ram.
Yeah, I'd be so much happier if Apple switched to the Intel model and released the exact same product, only updating the part number.
Gaming performance and capabilities should be very much improved. Whether you will use or notice the improvements is an entirely different question, of course.
I'm not defending the CSAM stuff at all because I hate it as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't say Apple is at a particularly worse area in the average consumer's mindspace than in the past.

In recent years they've dealt with some of the pain-points of iOS, e.g. starting to allow default apps, adding an app drawer so you don't need to have every app on your homescreen, etc.

And especially if we want to talk Macs, they recently released a batch of computers with their own silicon that are being rave-reviewed in terms of performance and battery life, and they're backtracking on the design flaws from their last era of laptops (getting rid of the butterfly keyboard that had a pathetic failure rate, giving up on the touchbar, rumors of potentially adding more I/O back, etc).
That is a speculative argument, not data. While games haven't increased in price the addressable market is exponentially larger. In fact they have probably benefited from keeping the price low.

The reason you see alternative monetization is because it is so damn profitable, not because it is needed simply to fund the games. Look at Warzone, brings in $5.2M per day. There are countless other examples.

Investors want to go where there is maximum profit. But that doesn't mean we need these schemes just for the games to exist.
I wonder how far back customer satisfaction is for older models. I'm still rocking my trusty 8 Plus and it suits my everyday needs just fine and works perfectly, with a slightly degraded battery life. I'm not gaming or shooting movies with it and so haven't seen any need to upgrade for quite a long time.
