Awesome links! Google deserves the entire book thrown at them. This is so fucking unacceptable, we have built their fucking product lines for years with their bullshit every shifting APIs.
Try getting a non-techie to set up Magisk on their phone though. And just doing it for them isn't a practical option unless you live with them, because then they won't know how to install the monthly OTA security updates anymore.
I was taught in school that the algorithm was an inverted 3d Fourier Transform. I'm not sure if I believe that now.
Do not take any of this as a particular endorsement of a safety system.

Airplanes need 3x redundancy on safety critical components, because they carry a lot of people and are not fail safe when they are in the air. Cars can generally stop safely.

As far as changing architectures - think about safety critical loops and real time computing. Some processes should never be pre-empted.
Yeah the genuinely malicious apps are unlikely to be using Google ads or other services to generate revenue.
Which is still quite rare when you look at peoples cellphone network usage.

In 2020 the average cellphone user in North America only consumed 11.8 GB per month and the median is much lower. That really isn’t enough to be regularly be watching videos.
India should be held up as a classic example. Racial reservation once initiated is difficult to eradicate and there is no assurance that such a program benefits the under-privileged. If at all it creates further class divide.
No, you have double the range by having two cars for less than 100k. I’m saying at least at this point you at least have a chance at using batteries to recharge batteries.

It’s common knowledge that you can do this.
> The manufacturers' hands are tied.

By "mobile phone companies" I didn't mean mobile phone manufacturers. I meant mobile phone providers like Verizon, T-Mobile, etc. They are the ones who have wormed themselves into the role of gatekeepers for phone purchases (with government help). If phone manufacturers' hands are tied with regard to what they can put on their phones or what app stores their phones can use, they're tied by the phone providers, not by users.

This is such a fantastic dig at Amazon and strikes at exactly what's wrong with their culture. It's a machine. The engineers don't matter. Rotten from the top.

I honestly don't understand why anybody would want to work there. Better salaries and jobs exist.
Even RS confuse the media scam with the rocker. See "In this story" on that article.

More ridiculous than buying 1 car for double the price? I’m confused.
Oh wow you aren’t kidding. That’s terrible. Why would anyone do that?
I thought this too. Looks like hacker news is being used for social engineering attacks on systems as we know it.
I have a smart phone so I’m only so immune to this invasion but there is no way in hell I’m trusting Amazon, a company I’m learning to despise, with a microphone or camera in my house.
The blog post says outright they are not an American company, they are not hiding that.
I'd also like full location data for all the politicians who allow this to happen. US three letter agency employees. All powerful people in general.
Yes, it would be hard to be less tempered than octave and unison :)
They're not powerful enough to do all the work all the time but if you have a lot of web based work they're definitely perfect for a lightweight terminal.

Multibillion divided by billions of users = a couple of dollars.

Yes, a couple of dollars per user is what is at the root of this privacy nightmare.

And guess who is ultimately paying this price anyway.
You're talking about self-help that isn't in a contract, right? The OP is talking about self-help developer account suspension that presumably is a right listed in the applicable TOS.
"exploit our political process" is a funny way to say "change the law around immigration".

What's the exploit here? We aren't even talking about an executive order here are we? We're talking about an element of a bill being passed through the legislatures of the land. Exactly the mechanism that laws are supposed to go through to change.

Anyways the people who are most viciously opposed to immigration are also the very same people who exploit illegal immigrant labor and have a vested interest in keeping an eternal underclass they can abuse, so you'll forgive me if I have very little sympathy for the 'side' that claims adding more citizens and giving more people intimately affected by the law the right to vote is an 'end run around democracy'.

Also, many of these people had no choice in their alleged "law breaking". Holding people accountable and punishing them for their parents bringing them into the country when they were children is incredibly cruel. Insisting that they should never be able to obtain citizenship in the country they grew up in on top of that because they broke a law that holds almost no moral value would be just pure evil.

Also, the 'exploit' that's actually being abused right now is the comically absurd procedural filibuster, which never should have been a thing in the first place. It, frankly, wasn't wrong to reduce the threshold for supreme court nominations to 50 votes in the senate -- it's wrong to tie up every single vote in a filibuster no one has to actually put anything on the line for.

It is telling that this “Treehouse Insider” declines to take credit for their writing, while also maligning this CEOs personal life. Also, this picture caption:

> August 25: Carson enjoys a climate-related disaster (#hurricanehenri) two days after announcing a severe reduction in force

What an absurd, petty reach. As though hurricanes haven’t been happening since prehistory. The CEO in question may be terrible, but this author has lost all credibility in my eyes.
The undocumented instructions aren't required in order to use the hardware
Nobody is arguing whether Google killed their account.

We're saying they trip tons of shady heuristics, and we're skeptical there wasn't a solid reason. Particularly when the majority of games were free -- there's tons of very shady monetization strategies out there, particularly for games involving gambling.

Plus, for example, a twitter account that either started May 9, or was scrubbed. For a company with claimed millions of users.

Bundle ids against a domain -- sixace.com -- which they don't appear to own.

No company information that I can find on the internet or LinkedIn.

Fake testimonials on their website with stolen images from the internet.

No company information in the UK company database for either 6ace or sixace, despite a claimed address of "61,hallwicks road,Luton,Bedfordshire,London-LU2 9BG".

etc etc. All this screams sketchy.
Is a company that's been going for 10 years still a startup? Perhaps it's just me, but I just wouldn't assume that joining a 10 year old company (especially one that had essentially been spun out of a another venture, Think Vitamin) was a risky venture in the silicon valley startup kind of a way?

But I strongly agree with you on the metrics thing. Sure, all those feel-good internal metrics are important, but if your subscription business has fewer subscribers this month than last then that's bad news. Complaining that "keeping the company solvent" was the CEO's main focus is a weird thing to complain about.
It is easy to be so certain of things when you have no idea what you are talking about.

Remember when things used to get better between versions? I do.
Even if Verizon were to back something like Tizen or Windows Phone, how would that fix the lack-of-apps problem?
I'm not sure that in computing history there's ever been the situation we have now of a software vendor owning so much of the market(s) that they can realistically afford to make this kind of move.

Microsoft in the 90s might have been the only company positioned appropriately to try but compared with Amazon, Google, and Apple, they did not have as much of an "in" into people's daily lives the way all three of those companies do today.

Unregulated capitalism leads to the company store, which is I think effectively where GP was suggesting things were headed.
Possible. My personal experience is that these apps increased my anxiety significantly until I got rid of them. I live in an incredibly safe city, and yet they were making me feel unsafe.

So I replaced my ring with a more privacy protecting and social media-free alternative, because video doorbells are very convenient still.

> Yes it is. I even told you what to search for exactly and I've already pasted direct links to some of them in a sibling post.

No it is not. Even if one did search, there is not one video that describes what Tesla Inc. promised or predicted in 2020 which was a Level 5 approved Tesla Robotaxi.

> Be prepared to be disappointed again and again when it comes to cutting edge of tech. You're not waiting for the next Xbox.

Did you not realise that you just admitted that you don't know where the Level 5 approved Tesla Robotaxis that was supposed to be due for 2020 were?
I'm not sure it's coinbase's responsibility to tell users not to run with scissors. Anyone who thinks sending money to random links they see on the internet that are promising to send them more money back for free probably shouldn't be entrusted with managing money.
Usually devs primarily running Windows who want to have smooth scrolling. They often don't disable it for MacOS because they don't know it has its own thing.

But why does a site aimed on Apple products has it is mindboggling
I always thought chips were dominated by fixed capital costs of fabs. If they were dominated by variable material cost of wafers, as the article seems to imply, it wouldn't make sense that we see 90nm microcontrollers that sell for $1 and a high-end 16nm PC CPU that sell for $1000.

So the question is, what's the reason that 90nm microcontroller sells for $1?

I'm trying, and failing, to figure out an economic model that explains the market dynamics we actually observe.

If building a new 90nm fab costs $billions, almost as much as building a new 16nm fab, why does the 90nm microcontroller sell for 0.1% of the price of the 16nm Xeon?

If building a new 90nm fab costs 0.1% as much as building a new 16nm fab, why can't existing chip companies, some startup or GM themselves spend $10's of millions building a fab that can unblock $100's of millions of product, and alleviate the shortage?
Don't use them. The instructions necessary to run Linux are likely inherited from the normal ARM set.

They can be "deprovisioned" afterwards by the enterprise that was managing them, and these blocks will be removed. Just wait until they get around to doing it, they will because keeping devices enrolled costs them money.
Lots, if not most, big corporations have desktops still.
Netflix allows you to download and cache videos for later viewing, and some carriers don't count streaming videos on certain platforms against their users' data usage.
Okay, so you've designed it. Now, make sure it works with the dirty electrical signal of a typical car's power bus. Then make sure it fits in the space requirements of under the car's hood, or in the door, or any of the other tight places that these embedded systems go. Then make sure that it's verified to act over several years of vehicle life. Then, make sure your suppliers will guarantee you that they won't discontinue the part for at least 10-15 years because of legal requirements for spare parts. Just throwing discrete logic at the problem doesn't always help.
Years ago, Treehouse had a refrenshingly easy to grasp, with great content, curriculum around web technologies. The tutors were super friendly and enthusiastic while retaining a good technical level (for the target) - I really praise their introductory courses. Shame to hear this, definitely some better communication was needed, but IMHO personal life details only take the real failures out of focus - business and people involved deserved much better out of the whole process.
But people can watch videos over Wi-Fi on their phones, not just over cellular data.
Apple M1 also has that x86 emulation mode where memory accesses have the same ordering semantics as on x86. It's probably one of the main things giving Rosetta almost 1:1 performance with x86.

No, GP made a pretty specific point: that vertical integration can clearly provide some serious benefits in the realm of computer hardware.

Now, the fact that vertical integration usually implies closed doors is relevant, yeah; but I don't think anyone is denying credit anywhere, and I think it's important to acknowledge upsides.

There is a long history of tech companies copying competitors and taking over markets by executing better
I think you are probably right, economies of scale mean that using a ridiculously powerful modern process to emulate an old processor often makes sense.

The C64 mini runs a modern(ish) arm processor and an emulator to pretend to be a C64 - that's a machine that is literal multiple orders of magnitude more powerful than the original system.
Thankfully that was a market with good competition. They might have hoped to capitalise on some of that anti-American, anti-BigTech sentiment. But everyone I knew who used them was pissed at these shenanigans. Hilariously enough, I switched to a former governmental monopoly.
I stopped reading the article because scroll hijacking made it unbearable.
I have this same argument every time someone brings up microplastics and I ask them if thats a bad thing or something we should worry about. They send me articles for days trying to prove me wrong and every single one just says it "might" as if they are the first ones to come up with an untested hypothesis.
WhatsApp only has 500m daily average users worldwide, while being installed on 2 billion phones. Do you expect it to maintain it’s #2 spot for 10 years? None of them have had a run that long.
You'll get a shock if wet slightly below 9V. It just stays on your skin. Voltage penetrates dry skin at around 50V, and this is the legal definition of high voltage.
Not at the moment, but I've donated a sizeable amount in the past to various projects. After learning the precarious conditions that some non-profits operate in my city (especially around animal welfare), I decided to divert my donations to them.
You mean implementable by AMD, the other x86 constructor.

They have some custom JS which hijacks the scroll event and manually applies a "transform: translate3d" CSS rule with its own linear interpretation / velocity / acceleration logic..
I had the unfortunate displeasure of selecting Node for a take home interview. My simple express API was working fine when testing with Insomnia but the test suite was a convoluted pile of crap built from different npm frameworks and plugins. At the end of the time slot I had three failing tests for reasons I couldn’t figure out and and my submission was probably automatically rejected.

Oh well, I learned I never want to touch Node again.
Please do tell me what I'm missing.
So basically: shut up because your fight for your right is inconvenient for me at the moment, right?
I think the fact that Venezuelans had guns in 2012 but still had issues show that it's not foolproof.
My zune definitely isn't spying on me. To do that, the zune related servers would have to still be up
Voltage levels sometimes arise from the geometry of semiconductors, capacitors, etc. 60V is a common cutoff, usually to give some slack to a 48V design voltage.
40V is still fine IIRC. I think 48V is the threshold.
> "Windows Phone was also another well-funded competitor that fell on its face."

Google had a hand in that, though, by intentionally blocking interoperability with YouTube and other Google services for WP. Even back then they were willing to play dirty to keep their monopoly.
Why Is Career Development Still Such a Joke at So Many Places?
"Lightweight on the go" I would say, especially if editing something remotely with good connectivity - sure, and might be a sweet spot. Though it's less convenient than having a general-purpose machine.. I've worked from coffee shops etc., and found it to be much more versatile to bring an extra pound of a Macbook instead, even for SaaS work with a remote IDE.
It doesn't matter what will be dominant in 10 years. What matters for phones being bought today is what's dominant today.
Me too hahaha
What should let them know their money has not dissapeared is that they can continue making purchases with their debit card or even go to the ATM of another bank to withdraw money.

The world is very different today and cash is not so important anymore.
> Start a startup [...] that out-competes Google

You know, I don't think that "just be better than the trillion dollar incumbent" is a reasonable starting point for any healthy market.
If you're bored you can go to mycmp.fr and check their process catalog and compare a typical 55nm run to a 160nm run. Its not quite as standardized as ordering PCBs over the internet.

Different metallization (you usually don't get to choose Al or Cu) will have different resistances. Generally the smaller processes will be faster so a design with no race conditions or metastability problems on 160 might not run reliably or at all on 55. Some processes are analog oriented so they'll guarantee up to 60 volts or more, if you're trying to design power devices, other processes are logic oriented and they might have a standard voltage of 2.5, 1.1 etc.

You can design something that'll run on a 55nm process and something that'll give similar performance on a 160nm process BUT they'll be different designs. I think the closest analogy would be changing processes is like changing manufacturing material. You can make a car piston out of steel or aluminum but you can almost never just swap materials in an existing assembly line.
For me, rolling everything into a docker-compose.yaml makes installs near instant.

It's called the prussian school model, focuses heavily on memorizing and lexical knowledge. But is very poor on teamwork and preparing you for real life. Prussian (German) society needed reliable factory workers so that's why school starts so early (7:30-8:00 AM) to pretty much condition children to get up early, be obedient and just focus on the job.
A kernel doesn't need to use all the instructions a CPU offers -- only the ones it needs.
A lot of people are claiming this is about screwing with third party, but there’s a lot of good technical reasons to do things like that.

For instance, the serialization of batteries (they’re not only serialized, they have a symmetric key pair) is a key safety feature.

I’ve designed devices with the same ICs and screwing up the configuration (or copy pasting the config and install cells with different chemistry) can set them on fire.

In the case of the screen, I think it’s much of a security issue.

The lines on the photo of the E5 next to the E4 are magnificent, beautiful engineering and design.
I find it pretty crazy that as far as hardware requirements go apparently the minimum is a 7th generation intel chip. Unsurprisingly only slightly more than 40% of enterprise machines meet that requirement[1], this pretty much excludes any machine pre 2018, no? Very weird.

I'm assuming they aren't using them or they've reverse engineered the ones they need to use.
But we aren’t really talking about today we are asking about what happens when a new phone shows up without it. You don’t need to sell to everyone on day one they just need to erode dominance fast enough that it doesn’t stop adoption.
It's hard to tell whether your comment was sarcastic or serious, but the guy invented homebrew, and was passed over for as you say, not knowing fundamental things. I'd flip the script in this narrative: by passing over the author of a wildly popular piece of software, the interviewers showed their missing knowledge of fundamental things - like good business sense. No thanks, Google.

And what does Google invent, anyway, given that their biggest financial successes have been acquisitions?
The more obvious solution is a sanely run conventional currency like the Euro, SFR, USD etc. Bitcoin would be fairly rubbish for everyday transactions like paying wages and taking our a mortgage to buy a house. Aside from transaction costs, when bitcoin doubled, companies wouldn't be able to afford their wage bill and homeowners their mortgages.
On the other hand,if all ad agencies were totally destroyed that would eliminate the incentive to collect our personal data and profile our browsing/purchasing information.
I believe this doesn’t apply, because the complaint, and subsequent explanation isn’t common, and was interesting.
Would the US get involved if this would escalate?
Great documentary, and really enjoyed watching Ewan drive an electric vehicle from South America to LA. It was possible 5 years ago, and it’s even easier today. The world is changing and this is a great thing.
I'm not suggesting it would give an encyclopedic knowledge, but it would at least acquaint them with the actual data and categorization systems in use in a very visceral way.

In a related way, I find myself watching many of the old IBM videos about mainframes and the punch card systems that proceeded them to have a better feel for what came before.
Not an expert, but I would guess it's a combination of:

1. Shinkansen trains are run on an extremely tight timetable (often 5 minutes or less between trains). It takes twice as long to load or unload a double-decker car, so this presents a significant risk for schedulers.

2. One of the key benefits of double-decker cars is that they save space by cramming two cars worth of passengers into a one-car footprint. This allows significant passenger service in and out of small stations with short platforms. But Shinkansen platforms are not hurting for space (nearly all of their usage is single-decker trains, sometimes quite long ones), so this benefit isn't worth much in practice.
