I recommend you switch to magsafe. You can buy really cheap magsafe charging stands. At this point I only have a lightning cable for my car, I basically never use one in my day to day life which rather lessens the pain.
Is that really so? Has this been researched over longer periods?

I'm honestly curious, because I'm probably biased when I think about medieval inquisitions or 1930 Race theories. Was, say, a black person in Rome treated bad because of racism? Were Jews hated in ancient early Muslim cities? Were there no same sex couples in, say, a 1500 village at the swedish coast? I can imagine many 'queer' were just accepted as such in many communities throughout the world, throughout the ages. But I can just as well imagine it being literally deadly to be even a little out of line, just as well.
The whole presentation felt like a video version of some kind of a lifestyle magazine. Like, here's some devices plus some apps and services to suit your dynamic everyday lifestyle. The surrounding sceneries and the style of the presentation also gave a very "post-covid" feel in the sense that we hardly ever saw more than a few people on a single frame.
honestly, as someone who has lived in over 20 countries and on 5 continents, I would say the US has more restrained tastes in marketing than most cultures. Western Europe is generally more low key than ours though. Almost everywhere else I have been has a more aggressive sales/advertising culture.
It's the M1 effect!

Most of Apple's updates are boring iterations on previous versions. Periodically, they'll come out with something that captures people's imagination for a while, then it's back to predicting the end of Innovator Apple because whatever is happening now doesn't match the excitement of the big shift.

Edit: I postulate that the disappointment effect crosses product lines

Maybe the only unique thing here is your need to defend apple with no arguments other than your own annoyance at apple being criticised?

As you scroll down the page the article starts filling your browser history. If you scroll all the way down there will be at least 12 items in your history with variations of the page title. It appears to have something to do with how they populate the content below the article.

It seems much harder to quantify the level of immunity conferred by natural infection. It depends entirely on an individual immune system detects and combats a particular infection.

Anecdotally, I know someone who has been infected twice. Refuses to get vaccinated now because "why bother? I have great immunity now." With no sense of irony, given that he's already been infected twice...
Google does index JS pages.

It's not that hard to do, I've used

https://htmlunit.sourceforge.io/

to do just that.
Apple is such a massive company, it's easy to forget that each of these variations sells millions of units to customers who want that one product.

For example, many pilots have an iPad Mini for maps and charts. In a cramped cockpit, the regular iPad is too big. With much faster graphics and support for Pencil 2 it's a big upgrade, so I fully expect this to be the #1 choice for that crowd.
Doesn't it make a difference if it's near the noise floor because it's hard to measure (atoms) or if it's near the noise floor because it's hardly there (masks)? Maybe if these "hardly there" results led to further research that isolated some underlying "very there" phenomena, they would be important, but until that happens, who cares if thinking about money makes you slightly less generous than thinking about flowers? If they're not building on previous research to discover more and more important things, then it doesn't seem like useful progress.
The ubiquity of social media has made me more reserved with the embrace of new technologies. The promise of social media was that by having everyone in the world connected, it would develop increased understanding, compassion, and empathy for each other. It seems the very opposite is happening. It seems to amplify anger and hatred. It is driving polarization. After observing this hard-learned lesson, one of which we are still in the midsts of resolving, I now have a different attitude when a new technology is proposed to transform society. We nerds/geeks love technology. We are excited about the potentials for improvement they can bring to our society. But we are often overly optimistic. We neglect all the ways in which things can also go wrong. Instead, we should have a nuanced discussion about the pros and cons of a potential technology before we adopt it. We should decide if the benefits outweigh the potential risks. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general promises the benefits of decentralization: privacy, anonymity, access to the global economy, immune to seizure, transparency, etc. But there are also potential pitfalls that can be catastrophic to society if they were to occur. I am not a bitcoin/crypto expert. But we have plenty of smart people here that are. My question to you is, of all the things that can go wrong with the adoption of crypto, where it to happen at a national or global scale, would it be worth it compared to the existing model? And are you certain that you have thought of all possible things that can go wrong? We likely don’t know what we don’t know until we adopt it. Our existing model of handling money has had its ups and downs through the course of the past several hundred years, but at least it is a system that we know works and has brought about great prosperity to the world. We’ve implemented safeguards (laws, regulations, policy) along the way as we come to discover pitfalls with the model, slowly improving it with time. Are we certain that our existing model is so poor as to justify an adoption of a radically new system?
USB-C charging across the line would've been nice (the iPads are already on board with this generation it seems).

They could also do more innovation on the camera notch (20% smaller is not enough), I'd expect them to solve the under-display camera problem by now given their expertise and funding.
Well for one it could go to desperate people in 3rd world countries? If you already provably had covid letting your now useless shot go to the ones in need is arguably the moral choice?
Perhaps a business that makes money from educational content needs something that provides additional value (over and above what you'd get from a folder of videos), e.g.

D. Community/cohort

E. Convenient access to frequent updates (blinkist, shortform, getabstract)
I think you replied to the wrong comment, I sold my iPhone and switched to Android.
Something that I've not noticed with previous models: the iPhone 13 costs $30 more if you buy it outright and not tied to a specific operator:

https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-13

As someone who prefers to buy unlocked whenever I can this kind of rubs me the wrong way, and feels very counter to the feeling when the iPhone first arrived on the market.
But they probably announced it as a breakthrough innovation that would change typing forever.
Meanwhile, in possibly related news from Cupertino, a local station reports that a BFI garbage truck inexplicably fell from orbit and has struck Apple headquarters, demolishing the area out to a radius of a square mile.
The two camera lenses are _diagonal_ now. 120 Hz screens are nice, but most phone already feature similar displays at third of half the price, some even going as low as 1 Hz.

Truly disappointing event.

Just think when all the "find my" features are baked into everything Apple. They will know that you are 30 feet away from your Apple TV. And they will know if when your family is away from the HomePods...

This will give Apple insight spatially how you move and interact in your home, compared to other devices and each other. Lots of insights to be gleaned.
Nudity in Northern Europe: Are They Exhibitionists or Are We Prudes?
According to another commenter here, the research that spawned the WSJ article said Instagram made 41% feel better, 31% worse, and no impact for the other 28%.

I haven't found the original material to verify, but if this is accurate, seems like the net outcome argument works in Instagram's favor.
When have you felt that you are lacking RAM on an iPhone?
Seems to me that it's a practical form factor in response to prevailing market reality. Last I checked, every single bit of market research indicated that a super majority of phone owners use cases of one variety or another. Not all of them for sure, and I ran without for a long time myself, but the overwhelming majority. So if most are going to be adding some level of thickness and mass to their devices regardless, and that will necessarily have a hole for the camera system which would just be empty wasted volume otherwise, it makes sense to strike a compromise and try to make more use of that without making it completely unusable without a case.

But cases are the major form of physical customization most people have. Cases can provide physical keyboards, battery, environmental protection, texture, and aesthetics in a variety and individual granularity that would be impossible for any OEM to handle themselves. Fundamental to cases though is that they can only ever add, never subtract. So it seems very practical to me to design a device that is as thin and light as possible within a floor level of raw performance, since that represents the base state. Then individuals who want more battery life, more extreme environmental usage and so on can add from there, but those who don't aren't saddled with it. Cameras feed into that, if anything for many heavier duty case users it'd be more optimal if they were any even bigger bump. They represent a compromise.
A 3% increase in vacancy rate caused a ~10% decrease in apartment pricing in NYC [1].

Housing is very much at the margin and a small increase/decrease of demand will have an outsized effect on price. However, I'm not going to argue that everybody poorer than me shouldn't have access to a house just so I can get one at a cheaper price ...

It's funny that this is often left out from a data & algorithm class.
A phone fits easily in the palm of one hand whereas a tablet usually requires a stronger grip since it’s much larger than a phone. Just take a look at their product page and you’ll see a model holding the iPad mini with one hand and their thumb already touches part of the screen. If the bezels were thinner it would cause more erroneous inputs. So why engineer thinner bezels when it’s not practical to have them in such a device.
The lightning ecosystem is that a huge percentage of people in the united states expect their phones, and their friends' phones, to charge over lightning. This is a convenience for them. I'm not really defending it, since usb-C would be much easier for me, but I can understand why the transition would be painful for a lot of average users.

I’ve had a moderate interest in security for years and a mild interest in ICS for a short time. I may have to take a look at some of these ideas. No way I could bootstrap a business though :p

Interestingly I’ve seen a lot more regarding ICS security recently than I have in the past. I’m guessing this is partially because of somewhat recent big news items.
Visual UI "graphic" design, full of fleeting design trends and dark patterns, sure I agree, bundle them up and send them to the moon. UX =/ UI

Human-centered design professionals who went to school for/taught themselves from the field of Human Computer Interaction, which involves a multitude of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies for assessing usability and bringing the voice of the user early into the development lifecycle on the otherhand... now that is sorely lacking and is historically underinvested in. Their job makes your job as a developer easier, not having to redo work and waste time if they are plugged into your dev team and focusing on your users.

Ask yourself, as a developer, do you feel you have the specialist skillset and expertise to truly validate designs with real people (users)? Is this something you would want to do, if only those pesky UX "design" professionals didn't take them over to justify their jobs?

Let's put you in front of 10 different users of your product for an hour each, give you a facilitator guide, and have you guide them through a task-based usability review of your product. Make sure you aren't asking leading questions or biasing their responses, then synthesize the essence of all the interviews into insights to improve the product design. Finally create a read out report that you have to present to senior leadership for another hour on what you learned and how to improve the product design. Oh yeah, you now have 0 hours to code in your fulltime 9-5 job. Good luck!

Note: I acknowledge a UX researcher is a full-time specialist role, however any UX designer worth a damn should be T-shaped and able to use qualitative research methods to interview users and evaluate their designs.. otherwise they are a UI designer and guessing at best.

It's not about aesthetics, it's a pita to view contents in landscape and have the notch cut a hole in it. I keep having to rotate my phone the get it on the right side. I hate the notch (but I'm also not a fan of rounded corners).
Apple could still collect 30% fee on app developers after ruling
It’s a sub 500 dollar device aimed at casual users and students. You sound like a power user, you should opt to go for the MacBook Air bare-minimum.
This is a bummer. I met a few of the Treehouse folks as well as a couple students at a private social thing some years ago. They made a strong impression of being both passionate and competent, a real contrast to the bulk of the online class companies imo, but it's hard to compete against dirt cheap or free.
I'd love to have 2cm extra bezel on one side so as it hold it better. Cover it with grippy texture (similar to Thinkpads) on the flange, thinner than the rest of the device (step-down from the edge of the display) and that would be a great device ergonomically. The grip flange can be thin and strong, may be 2mm think.
Why is it "harder"? I assume you mean harder to quantify than vaccination immunity and I don't believe that's the case, but I'm curious why you believe that is the case.

edit: surprising downvotes so I probably didn't communicate my point well.

I can't imagine a reason why natural immunity would be harder to quantify than vaccine induced immunity. It would seem to me the methodology to quantify both would be very similar.
A Visualizer for PyTorch Image Transformations
I think it’s more of a big deal because Apple people used to rag on Android devices that did it in the past pretty hard.

IMO they should have notched the bottom for a fingerprint sensor.
The following is a response to only your first paragraph:

Huh? If the distributions of bone densities among “people you would visually identify as ‘race X’ ” and “people you would visually identify as ‘race Y’ ” differ, then knowing that an individual would be someone you would visually identify as ‘race X’, gives you some amount of statistical information about their bone density.

I guess you just mean that you can’t make any high-confidence statements that are substantially different than if you didn’t have that information?

Small note on second paragraph: I don’t think the racial categories in question are even half-biblical? I mean, I know in the Old Testament there are lots of things referring to e.g. edomites, or Amalekites, etc. , but I don’t think these are really like, “races”, and I can’t think of anything that really supports the idea of a fixed set of racial categories. But perhaps I’m forgetting/missing something.
Why is that silly? The screen size increase is significant, and it’s hard to imagine a more noticeable or useful improvement to a smart watch.
Yes please. ECC support by now should come by default, both in CPU support and in motherboards, RAM chips etc.

At least AMD Ryzen supports it, but the fact that one has to spend a lot of time to research through products, specs, forums and internet chats to figure out a good CPU, m/b & RAM combination that works is cumbersome, to say the least.
Multi-Cloud Naming, Tagging and Labelling
The iPhone 12 mini had terrible screen flicker for me. I think the PWM of the backlight was too low a frequency. I've never had issues with backlight flicker in a phone before. I'm happy to see the 120hz refresh rate as I've always been able to see 60hz during scrolling and found it made moving text very blurry. Will be very curious to try the 13 Pro to see if the screen is really that much improved.
As a concrete example, here is a video (and github link) of a concrete program that I'm currently working on, and that I think is not a bad program.

I already have plans for improving it (especially the layout system), but overall it works pretty well and is reasonably featureful with little code. It's not perfect but "state" is certainly not a problem at all.

I can't tell you something like this can't be coded in maintainable Haskell, but I can tell you that _I_ wouldn't have managed, and googling around it doesn't seem like there are a lot of people who can do it.
I went to a mediocre high school, where Latin ended after the second year. But even that much helped with high school German, college French, and subsequent experiments with other Romance languages.
If you want slower charging speeds and much worse energy efficiency, then that's an option.

Ironically MagSafe represents the best speeds and efficiency in the industry, but yet it still pales in comparison to a wire.

It would be worth an update at that point.
What do you mean by drop-shippers and what do they do that's risky/bad?

Looking for drop shipping on Google leads me to pages e.g. by Shopify or Square explaining it's a model to run retail where the store doesn't hold stock or fulfill but instead has a distributor / manufacturer fullfil the transaction, shipping directly from them to the customer.
I also came to rave about the Coros battery life - I've now had it for nearly a year and it is as advertised.

Apple Watch is a great starter smartwatch, but if battery life matters - the Coros is a better product.
> what they are teaching is usually just too narrow to be all that useful

They were video lessons on HTML, CSS, and other languages. Your comment makes no sense, and sounds more like projection than valid criticism.
After 9/11 a significant portion of the US was staunchly anti-war, organized some of the largest protests in US history, and yet they were ignored by the media and demonized as anti-patriotic. On top of that, muslim americans have had to endure years of racist attacks, not only from individuals but also from the state, in borders and airports, ongoing to this day.

If you think it "united the country" then you either have rose-tinted glasses on, or you had your opinion validated by the pro-war media and never looked elsewhere. The difference is that now the media disagrees with you.
In the given form factor, what sensors could be added, without dropping existing ones?

I guess, one way would be to introduce special categories of watches, such as medical ones, that drop gps and others for oxygen / ECG or new sensors.
Agreed, I’m not upgrading.
Ask HN: What are good self-hosted outliner apps like Workflowy and Dynalist?
I really like outliner apps because they incentives to structure notes in an hierarchal fashion. It really helps with problem solving and learning new skills.

>It depends entirely on an individual immune system detects and combats a particular infection.

Pardon my ignorance, but does this mean by contrast that vaccines are designed to induce a uniform response across immune systems?

EDIT: A reply (deleted before I could respond) mentioned that immune systems will combat the infection by some "pattern" of it's own design, but a vaccine will encourage the immune system to respond in a predetermined way, (increasing likelihood of uniformity, answering my question).

Is this accurate?
It used to be that if you were queer - in any sense of
the word - and lived in one of the countless small,
conservative, traditional communities in this country,
you were shit out of luck.

As bad as that was, in the past you could move to another of the 380,000 towns on this planet.

Today, if your social media trail renders you unemployable (or the target of persecution) there's no longer any corner of the planet to which you can escape.

Edit: People seem to be misinterpreting my meaning entirely. By 'unemployable' I was thinking of, for example, racy photos. By 'persecution' I mean actual IRL stalking/assault etc. The kind of example I had in mind was, say, a racy photo from Pride Parade following someone around for the rest of their living days, preventing them from working at certain lawfirms, or attracting the attention of some violent psycho.

“Privacy built in”?? Not sure what to make of that…
Yes but if we sent everyone a Peloton in March 2020 and required use of it how many people would we have saved by now? Just pay people to use it which seems more ethical than paying people to take the vaccine.

Pandemics come and go. We might as well use fear to pass policies now like we did after 9/11
Nobody said "quarter" means multiply by 4. They said "quater" means multiply by 4, which it essentially does [1]. In addition to being a real word, it's also a prefix, e.g. "quaternary" means fourth in order.

You made a typo (quater) in correcting someone's else's typo (forth). Several people have pointed out the irony and have patiently tried to teach you a new word, but you seem to keep reading past all of them without comprehending ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
