There are no details really as to how Xiaomi censors those terms. If one does not use the bundled-in browser / app-store, I doubt Xiaomi can censor anything at all in other browsers unless they MiTM with client-cert. OTOH, many popular non-browser apps (at least the ones that matter) pin certificates, so even Lenovo-esque shenanigans wouldn't work [0].

What can they possibly be doing in the firmware or the ROM to break TLS (and other such authenticated key-exchange protocols)? The only thing I think of: Injecting a compromised https stack in to an app's classpath / ld_library_path. This may sound ambitious, but the Android modding community already uses such runtime swappers to great affect [1][2].

Some very young children just absolutely do not want to be messed with. Even brushing their hair with a soft brush can be a major struggle no matter how clever you might be at distracting, comforting, or convincing.

If you have one of these children, then you know what’s coming as soon as the hairdresser touches their hair and there isn’t much you can do about it. It’s quite reasonable to decide it’s better to let the child know what’s about to happen rather than let them be surprised. A haircut takes time. It’s not like a shot that’s over in an instant. Holding them might be the only way to prevent them from swatting the scissors away and jerking their head in an unsafe manner.

After a few unsuccessful haircut attempts, you’ll likely find yourself considering a child-bun or just allowing their vision to be impaired until they are old enough to understand better.
Evergrande has been in trouble for the past half year at least, it's astounding someone's only making a report now, everyone, I mean, EVERYONE, knows the chance of Evergrande would go insolvent is high.
Has anyone had success getting any of these containers to work with a camera?

Recently, my bank discontinued their website based deposit system for checks in favor of their app. I'm reluctant to keep an app with full access to my account on my phone, so a container system like Waydroid or Anbox would be great if I could just emulate the app when I need it. Has anyone else run into this issue and, if so, how have you dealt with it?
"U.S. tech firms rely on Taiwanese contract manufacturers to produce up to 90% of their chips […]"

Okay, the U.S. destroys the Taiwanese fabs to keep them from communist China. Then what?
I haven't watched the video but I can already say no to the question.

First, China doesn't want to invade Taiwan for its semiconductors industry. They see Taiwan as part of their territory and view reuniting it with the mainland as the conclusion of the revolution. Also they want control of the Taiwan strait to secure the South China sea.

Then, Europe most likely wouldn't follow the USA into a war with China and as colonial empires don't exist anymore neither would Africa so it wouldn't be a world war.
This reads like the ultimate goal is writing computationally efficient software. The key tool to measuring non-performant code would be asymptotics and specifically Big Omega and Big Theta, because you need to shrink the total window size as well as shift it down. Engineers hate being evaluated on whether they know Big O, much less we hardly test on Big Theta. Secondary to that, it's increasingly difficult to find engineers who even have a general mastery of asymptotics and algorithmic efficiency.

Perhaps on the margin some would, but I suspect most would fall into the "natural immunity" camp.

So in my mind, we need to weigh the damage done by blocking safe ivermectin use for some number of people to the damage done by a much-smaller number of people remaining unvaccinated when they otherwise would get the jab.

Seems like it could go either way depending on your specific assumptions.
Nice simple layout and interface. Can this content be exported in a simple format or would it perpetually live on TravelDays?
Yep the phones were actually in terms of OS and hardware equal or better than iOS/Android. However even back then, the app ecosystem hurdle was already insurmountable.
> I think you are just salty. Communication is really important and seems like that dev was really capable at it

I'm not sure you got the point. The whole point is that, exactly like OP stated, some of these self-described 10x developers do not code faster/better/stronger at all. They might even suck at it. However, they do excel at all the salesmanship required to descope critical features out of a project until all it's left is a fraction of the original project, and also excel at managing the expectations of all stakeholders so that the 1/10th of the project they deliver is passed off as the desired outcome.

Once they succeed at turning a production project that requires a team to write into what amounts to a proof of concept that's doable by a one-man team, they find themselves in a position where a person alone can put it together.

To put it differently, it's easy to run a whole marathon at 1/10th of the time when you succeed at moving the finishing line to 1/10th of the marathon's length. That requires skills, but they are soft skills and not hard skills, and you do not need to run faster than anyone else to do it.

Most people don't care if another country spies on them, since their laws don't apply to them. They would care much more if they are profiled by their own government. Or more like tech companies on behalf of the government spying on them, and them being discriminated, harassed, or jailed based on that data. So in a way its actually kind of smart to go with a Chinese phone if you live in America.
Okay, and? That's the point of autopilot.
Isn’t HN social media?
The quote is saying that digital computing faces cyber threats, which makes analog computing inherently safer. Not that analog computing faces cyber threats.
One of the major advantages of Waydroid that I've found is that it's lighter than Anbox. I know some here have compute to spare, but it makes a big difference on my Pinephone :)

It's still early days for Waydroid, but it's also decidedly a step forwards.
Except that in many places renting is even more expensive than monthly mortgage payments.
Hi HN,

I spent the past 3 years working on a personal notes app that focuses on data longevity. Everything is saved as simple files and folders. In fact, you can open any folder as notebook. External documents/files/PDFs can live alongside notes (the app shows a preview).

Files are saved as HTML to ensure that even in 20 years form now you can still access your notes with a browser even if the app should not be around.

Tags, bi-directional links, rich text, images are supported. I also added a few neat features to extract knowledge from notes like a spreadsheet view and one page summaries.

For example, let’s say you keep monthly project review notes, each with a section “Lessons Learned”. You can generate a page with all “Lessons Learned” sections from all notes tagged #postmortem to see them all on a single page.

I’m very happy that the app finally went live. Many of you will know that the last 20% of actually getting a project out of the door seem to take just as much work as the first 80% (hat tip to Vilfredo).

Looking forward to your feedback!
I would have to look up the details, but there are EASA certification standards covering noise level measurement. Looking at the pictures, I think they achieve low noise levels by having e-motors and mid sized props (multiple). That avoids engine noise, reduces individual prop noise and having something between rotors and turbines should be quieter than a conventional helicopter on the one side and something like jet on the other hand.
> Everyone thought WW1 would be quick and dissipate in a matter of months. Nobody was prepared for year long conflicts.

Everyone, except those who were in the military officer corps and thus knew that modern war was going to be a long, drawn-out, bloody affair. In other words, the experts knew it was going to be long, but the politicians and the media ignored the experts' opinions because what do they know?
But then you have to subtract all of the costs of owning the physical property over a long time span- everything that broke. Plus the taxes, insurance, water & sewer etc., as Bruenig notes.

I previously worked in a commercial real estate brokerage for apartment buildings, got to know a lot of landlords, and saw the finances of their properties personally. Over a long enough time span, 90+% of the building has to be replaced- everything from the roof down to the basement is essentially on a clock to obsolence from the moment you sign the deed.

Plus the landlord was paying income tax on the rent while your market gains are untaxed till you sell, etc.
Wikipedia is Rolling in Wealth. Then Why Does It Keep Asking Us For Donations? https://medium.com/illumination/wikipedia-is-rolling-in-weal...
That person has a good point. It's definitely a lot simpler.
A lot of fallout comes from detonating over the ground so that the force smacks into earth and spins up a ton of debris which is breathed in and causes all those nasty diseases. How long a place is irradiated is pretty much tied to how long those particulates float around causing mayhem. After that, sweeping up all the debris and containing it is a solid way of preparing the area for humans again.
In fairness, I see no reason why anyone should be blocked from buying any drug they want, whether it be ivermectin or heroin. The consequence of this restriction is that a subset of the prospective customers will settle for a potentially (more) dangerous alternative source, whether that be horse formulations or black market heroin cut with fentanyl.

It's also a valid point that unproven and disproven aren't equivalent. While I don't think anyone should take medical advice from political sources or for political reasons (therefore, as far as I'm aware, the well studied vaccines should be preferred to ivermectin by the vast majority of people at this time), I do think that it should be anyone's right to have full bodily autonomy and make whatever choices they want. Mainstream consensus is wrong often enough, e.g. the disastrous food pyramid that contributed to today's obesity epidemic.

I agree with the thrust of your point that the idea that there's some kind of widespread anti-Republican medical discrimination or corruption going on is silly. Just pointing out that how things currently are is not how they ought to be, and that this situation is arguably just a subset of the widely reviled War on Drugs.
> I'm a little confused. If you owned the home or condo, you'd have to handle getting anything fixed yourself, including your water seeping example. So you have to pay out of pocket for it, plus handle dealing with the contractor, etc. Why do you think that's a case against renting?

In that case I would have actually had it fixed instead of having to wear shoes in my kitchen for months. Also I budget monthly for things like this that might come up. I'd much rather manage that extra money (difference between mortgage and renting) than trust a landlord.

> If you have an unresponsive landlord, you can simply hire the handyman yourself, subtract the cost from your rent while emailing them an invoice, and dare the landlord to do something about it.

That's a nice story but it rarely play out well in practice. Time and energy are not free and I have better things to do with my time than try to claw back what I'm owed from a scummy landlord in small claims court or similar.

> The landlord can't realistically sue you for such a small amount of money, they'd have zero case in court, and anyways the court system in blue states is very pro-tenant

They can make your life hell in other ways or just refuse to renew the lease when your year is up. I'm not interested in moving every year until I find a competent landlord and I live in a red state.

Agile wont work especially if middle management aren't behind it 100% And they won't because if Agile done right will eliminate the need of middle managers. Think Traditional big bank vs Credit Unions. Where as big banks they are in control while Credit Unions are the account holders are in control. I been a scrum master for 2 years and the biggest fight I had was stopping and preventing sabotage. Ultimately it wears on you and you give up.
> Android simply does most thing UI better.

I almost spat out my coffee reading this. Android is horribly inconsistent, apps targeting different API levels get different default themes and UI elements, many built-in UI controls are ugly (which is why not many developers seem to stick with them) and the whole thing is made worse by manufacturers who can't leave good alone and "skin" their own launchers and equivalents to the default built-in apps. Scrolling behaviour on Android still sucks, putting everything behind "hamburger menus" is not intuitive and quite often apps just lack basic gestures. The gestures that are implemented don't even provide particularly good feedback — the little bouncy arrow thing when sliding in from the left to "go back" is awful and nowhere near as good of a visual cue as sliding-over is (like iOS does).

That's not to say that iOS design is perfect — it isn't by any stretch. It's a damn sight more consistent and predictable though and much easier to explain to non-technical users.
> The Ivermectin paper was surely bad, but it wasn't outrageously bad nor unexpectedly so.

Oh, yes it was bad. Very very bad. Outrageously bad. The data was mostly fabricated:

The problem is that, in this case, "what else you could do with the money" is limited to one thing - a recurring subscription cost with no asset value acquired. It's a faulty argument that shows a lack of critical thinking on the author's part.
In my experience in the recent market (in a HCOL city in the U.S.), rentals (even only compared to the costs in homeownership, i.e. ignoring principal payments) are much cheaper than mortgages for an equivalently sized house/unit. That's the assertion of the article, and it rings true.

You're right that the bulk of the mortgage payments, especially towards the beginning, do not go towards building any capital, which makes the investment even less appealing.
But notably, the current list of lists discussion is the only one containing a list to HN discussions.
> the number one thing any of us can do for the climate is to contact our representatives regularly about climate pricing

That's probably correct.

> Absent that, we’ll never slow our pollution enough to stop runaway warming.

But that's probably wrong. People managed to make non-polluting energy sources more compelling than the polluting ones even when the pollution is fully externalized. We will probably see a huge change on the next 20 years, and after that it will probably be better to focus on carbon capture.

What may make the first part incorrect is that focusing on intervention on the energy supply to speed-up the process may be more effective than focusing on intervention on the energy consumption. But if I had to design a policy today, I'd go almost all for the government to focus on consumption (AKA pollution taxing) and basic research.

> Is it better/faster/more compatible than anbox?

From the Anbox website:

> "We're reusing what Android implemented within the QEMU-based emulator for OpenGL ES accelerated rendering."

I'm not certain but I believe WayDroid more directly attempts to provide Android drawing subsystems on top of Wayland. This should be better/faster. Cross fingers.

Compatibility wise, I'm unsure. Anbox may be a more faithful Android platform perhaps. Waydroid feels like it's a closer integration to me, with less virtualized-machinery, which is a much wider support target since it's running directly atop a wide variety of hosts. But I for one am very glad we have a closer integrated option, one where Android apps are running more within the Linux desktop context.

There's probably a bunch wrong with my understandings here. Hoping some even better informed people can correct/supplement.
Haha.... Sounds like you want World Peace...
I feel you. Don't be scared; embrace the knowledge that your productivity will crater for a while. Everyone's got different needs, but you will find yours reprioritized for you once the baby becomes a reality. Step back down Maslow's pyramid to basics like sleep and survival of your family.

Idea: take the open source Beagle Bone Black, which has open source schematics, put into (probably chunkier) phone form factor, add 4g phone modem.

Use containers to segregate any apps, e.g. web browser, maps, Signal/Telegram all in a separate container from each other.

Would this allow for less privacy-invasion from Google etc.?
The sleight of hand here is presenting the breakdown in the first years of a mortgage, when the interest payment is at it's highest, as though it's representative of the mortgage as a whole.

Suppose I presented the analysis based on the last year of a mortgage. The interest payment would be almost nothing, with most of that swinging over into the payment on the principal. Presenting that as being representative of mortgage economics would be grossly misleading, and so is this.

The other thing to bear in mind is that mortgage payments, including interest, can be half as much as the rent on a similar property. That's certainly the case in my area. Even factoring in tax and insurance it's often significantly cheaper to pay a mortgage than to pay rent, quite apart from the wealth building argument.
The report is from 2012!
I don't have(and never have had) any social media accounts...ie facebook, twitter, instagram, tiktok, etc. The closest would be an HN account.

That said, could someone tell me what I might be missing? Ignorance is bliss, but it's also ignorance - is there any critical information or happiness that everyone else [who uses social media] enjoys that I do not?
If iver is a good gamble, then wouldn't the vaccine be a better gamble?

After all, unlike iver, there is very good hospitalization data about vaccinated vs unvaccinated now.
Well said, I hope for a thoughtful rebuttal.
Very interesting, thanks. I have personal experience in Sweden and the UK, where salaries are the norm for white collar work. My understanding from speaking to people from other parts of Northern and Western Europe, Southern Africa, and South and East Asia is that it’s common there as well. It’s definitely not a US only phenomenon.
Taxes are calculated using net profit which is 153k.

It may be worth clarifying that all those keywords and terms are in Chinese. So when they say "Free Tibet" they mean that the phone has a blacklist file that contains "西藏自由" and which use is disabled in the "European region".

On the other hand, it seems that this blacklist file is actually downloaded into the phone, which suggests to me that they could update it to match any terms in any language if they wanted.

I think that Chinese manufacturers will really need to produce 'clean' firmware that satisfies independent audits instead of these superficial feature flags if they want to continue to sell in the West long term. If not they will suffer Huawei's fate one after the other when this sort of thing is found out.

You don't only do it with file cabinets and paper. That was the entire point I was making.

You organize day-to-day physical items the same way. "My personal stuff" goes into my bedroom. My underwear go into an underwear drawer. My jeans go into a different one. Anything that I want free of wrinkles is hung in a closet.

Geography and space are hierarchical. Earth is in the solar system. North America is in the northern hemisphere, but Australia isn't. The United States and Canada are in North America. Nevada is in the United States. You get the idea.

Most organizations of people are hierarchical. Militaries, companies, volunteer organizations, the government.

Whether or not you have physically organized papers is irrelvant. It's a concept that is fundamental to existence. Extending it to files on a computer should not be terribly difficult for someone seeking a college education.
BTW, I forgot to explain why Android specifically. On that OS, the apps can override the function of the volume key, and most readers - including Kindle - use it to flip pages. So you can hold the phone with your thumb on volume down, and read with minimal movement after finding a comfortable position. Ideally, this also needs a phone that is small enough to be held comfortably in one hand.

There's no similar feature on iOS, so you need to flick the screen to flip pages.
