I'm curious how exactly this is any different from any "hands on" embargo? I guess the software feature one is a bit weird, especially since they kinda announced most of them today, but generally you can never show photos before the full review embargo.

It could be that they are a bit late on the software update and want that before reviews start? The fact that android 12 only came out today kinda points towards that.

The Software Freedom Conservancy is a business which can do business in many states and be subject to the jurisdiction of courts in all of them, unlike an individual, who can be resident in only one state. (And even then, an individual could also sue in California if the event being sued over - like a purchase or an accident - occurred in California)

I don't think he means mobile as in "on a vehicle in motion". But rather as "move it to a different area and set it up there". The signal requirements would be the same. Just right now they limit you to one cell because they don't want to overcrowd certain areas with the limited capacity they have.

I heard that they will also start offering naval offerings later but they need intra-sat communication first. Right now each sat communicates with a ground station nearby.
It's about order and congruence. This is why standards are created. I don't see good reasons for A=440 either.
I love the iphone. I get my wife the latest and greatest every two years, and I forget about it. If she had an Android anything, I'd be spending at least an hour per week on tech support. It's absolutely worth the inflated price for me, and the fact that it's extremely limited in possible features is a bonus. Just like I used to love stick, but now an automatic tranny is great, as my enjoyment is the destination not the trip.

Now as far as the iphone 6s being usable - that's my point. It is usable, on the old OS it was designed for. Because you can't load your own OS on it, it will never run the latest. While the Nexus does run the latest, and is completely usable. I do remember when my brother loaded some latest ios on his iphone 5S, and it literally became too slow to answer a phonecall.

Apple's lock-in is in my opinion a feature for its target market. That's why they get like $1200 from me every two years. Me, my concern was battery life. For that I needed to not have crap that keeps phoning home and waking up the phone. Imagine charging once per week. While not an issue now, I used to travel a lot. Country-hopping trips. Yes, you can charge at the airport, tied to a full charing pole for an hour. Yes you can charge while sleeping on the plane and have a usb cable hanging in six inches in front of your face getting in the way. Or... You can literally not worry about it for a week.

There are of course other things - I want to chromecast my screen or cast a movie from a pirate streaming site (not the youtube app). I want toggles on my lock screen and home screen to turn off data/wifi/bluetooth. I want to turn on the flashlight if I press both power buttons when the phone screen is off. I more importantly need a filesystem that I can store OVAs on that I can take to customer sites for demos - why would I carry a usb stick when my phone is always with me. I want a web server running on it and my laptop to dump a backup of itself onto the phone daily. This means the phone phone software needs to recognize that the phone hardware is a computer, not a toy for 5yo kids. My wife on the other hand needs it to be a toy, because if it wasn't, she'd do everything possible to get viruses, delete everything, and screw something up. So I got an android, she has an iphone.

Now, you think I'm complaining about longevity. Let's see the reality though.

The post I'm replying to touts the iphone's longevity compared to Android. I point out Android has much, much longer longevity and he has it backwards. You then declare I'm complaining about the iphone's longevity.

Now, normally I would normally unload on you with all kinds of funny (for me) things at this point, because you now fit into a certain category of people, but this isn't the place.

Median income is $100,000/yr. My impression (from HN) is this isn't abnormal for non-entry-level tech workers in the US.

How do folks evaluate upgrading their phone? I'm using an iPhone 6s still that was a hand-me-down and wanting to upgrade the camera - not sure what I ought to be looking for. Dropping 1k CAD seems exorbitant for this purpose.
It's my understanding that relicensing only applies to future releases, so the original contributed work would still be available under the original open-source license, and the project could be forked from that point.
On subjects I'm an expert in? That undoes the evidence for trust, right?

On subjects I'm not an expert in? Well I can't know.

The problem here is that I'm not an expert in everything. In fact, I'm not an expert in most things. I feel like people are taking this test as a perfect test. Far from it. There is no such test and never will be. But to everyone that is trying to counter this I'll ask you the inverse question: "Why should I trust someone when they've proven to mischaracterize a topic?" That's the heart of this metric.

If you've proven that you won't do enough research, I have reason to not believe you. If you've proven that you will do enough research, I have reason to believe you. It is statistical. Everything is. It is imperfect. Everything is. If you got suggestions about how to extend this and improve upon this, I'm listening. But I'm not just going to abandon it and start listening to people that have given me strong evidence to distrust them. That's a bit insane. It is also exactly what the Gell-Mann amnesia effect is making fun of: trusting people in things you don't know about that proved to be untrustworthy in things you do.
The medallions are owned (and leased), not the taxis. Furthermore, medallions only exist in a few cities. And I'm very curious about your "50%" number. 50% of the medallions in NYC? 50% of the medallions in the country? Dubious either way.
This is a hard market to time. Nobody

But we'd have said that 20 years ago, too.

This was interesting to me, so I looked up adoption metrics.

In 5 years (2016-2021) it went from 9% to 35%.

Source: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

TL;DR: it's being adopted at 5% of internet traffic per year, over the past 5+ years.

Once it gets to 80% or so, some number, there plausibly could be a flood of "we don't support IE6" behavior where adoption accelerate.

But that would still be 9 years, if the rate of adoption didn't accelerate at all.

> symbols typically aren't members of the class of objects they represent

That's right. The essential characteristic of a symbol is that it retains its essential character through certain kinds of changes. It's hard to illustrate via ascii text because all of the instances of a given symbol render in exactly the same way, but if I could hand-draw two letter A's I could make them look slightly different but they would still be indentifiable as A's. In some contexts, an upper and lower case character can be the "same symbol", so for example, "DOG" and "dog" are the "same word" (which is to say, the same symbol, because words are symbols).

The reason the number of equivalence classes has to be finite is because the things doing the manipulating are physical entities (like humans or computers) they are only capable of dealing with a finite number of different kinds of things.

> what about the activity of writing first-aid textbooks?

You posed that as a parenthetical but it's a fair question. Let me reflect it back at you: imagine that AI technology has advanced to the point where it is capable of producing original first-aid textbooks. Is that math?

> Mathematicians don't just arbitrarily manipulate symbols, they choose what to do based on a variety of criteria, such as real world applications, beauty, connectedness to other areas, etc. The ultimate end for actual mathematicians isn't solely symbol manipulation.

Of course. That's why part of my definition was that there had to be interesting or useful results.

> poets manipulate symbols (words) following certain rules

Really? What are those rules?
In the U.S., yes, but not necessarily in other territories.
> I don't feel in any way "inferior" to people with a degree.

While I don't feel inferior to them either, I think people with degrees have two major advantages.

1. They are pre-selected.

The ability and means to get into good schools and finish courses are powerful signals. It may or may not translate into competence but it certainly means something. People generally have positive perceptions.

2. They network.

Students are surrounded by like-minded peers, professors. Knowing these people personally can and often does make all the difference in the world. Sometimes people start companies together. Sometimes people recommend others they know personally and they get a job. Sometimes companies will recruit only from top schools.
React doesn't load modules, you need a bundler for that. It just supports a component type that blocks rendering until a promise containing a component resolves.
I’m not convinced social heirarchy/inequality causes vandalism as much as bored teenage deliquents do. I can’t picture a bunch of tired fast food workers who can’t wait to get off their shift and smash a coke machine or tag walls.

Having lived in Japan my theory is that there is a much tighter social fabric and there is always someone watching. Japan has plenty of delinquents but there is always a slightly higher more responsible delinquent to go “hey idiot vandalism isn’t cool” (or a nosy neighbor to call the local cops who will find the perps family. And the ostracism can be instant and brutal in a way that isn’t really even possible in middle class America because we do not rely on the social fabric or reputation anymore since we are a fairly low trust society.
Congratulations, you just killed the entire population of Murmansk.
> Does anybody use all of the new power of these incredible devices?

Yes, many many people. The simplest widespread example would be that anyone recording for Tiktok or Instagram clips will be re-encoding and downscaling 4k video while applying ML transforms to the video stream. And it's all done live. You might not do it, but your local neighbourhood teens do.
Keep at it.

I think some of that might be what you're used to. There are plenty of quality podcast apps on Android, such as PocketCasts. Same for reddit app, there are dozens. Maybe not as flashy but I've been using rif for almost 10 years now and it has been very solid.
Unfortunate I think it can and will get crazier, and we’re just at the start of it. I’m surprised the teachers haven’t yet organized any opposition or civil disobedience.

Actually, I'm very rough with my phones and considered buying a ruggedized phone, but went with a Pixel 5. It has a rubberized back and has held up very well over the last 10 months of use with only a screen protector (no case). In fact, it held up better than my previous phone, a Moto Z2 Force I bought because Toms Hardware Guide named it the most durable: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/toughest-smartphone-drop-t...

Also, it turns out that the camera sometimes matters more than you might expect. Other people in my family care somewhat that the pictures and videos I took of my kids using the Moto were pretty meh--and some pictures didn't get taken because the camera system was so slow. (Oh, and the audio on those videos was poor.) The Pixel has a much, much nicer camera and microphone.

(Obligatory disclaimer: I became a Google employee a few months after purchasing my Pixel.)
Well it's really just a command, so if you've given up finding the "proper" spot, you could make it an @reboot cron job.

The story provides no evidence for this claim. I can claim, with exactly as much evidence, that the driver shortages are caused by low wages and the federal requirement that bus drivers, like other drivers in federally-regulated industries, must be able to pass a drug screen which includes marijuana.

In fact: [Amazon] "is advising its delivery partners -- the mom and pops that operate the ubiquitous blue Amazon vans -- to prominently advertise that they don’t screen applicants for marijuana use, according to correspondence reviewed by Bloomberg and interviews with four business owners"[1]

You are incorrectly assuming a non adversarial environment. Swatting 2.0.
The translation I read, by R. B. Blakney, was rather disgraceful, with spurious references to Plato and the Bible in its interleaved commentary. In my defense, it was an old copy that I had pilfered from my parents' bookshelves when I was in college.
CPU wattage is (approximately) scalingConstant * voltage^2 * Frequency + staticPower. The increase in frequency not only increases the power draw linearly but requires a higher voltage which increases the power draw quadratically.

Doubling the frequency may quadruple the power requirements so if you can find ways to increase performance per clock instead it'll be preferred as long as those take less than 4x the power. If that means multiple low powered cores great, if that means many specialized instructions that do complex things efficiently (aes, simd, whatever) great. If that means just making existing instructions faster that's fine too. Whatever doesn't break the power budget as there is only so much power you can dissipate without exotic cooling solutions.
That's excellent insight! Indeed even today, the challenge of a human opponent can extend a games life beyond the usual minutes to hours of most games.

Exactly, it's a man-made, not a technical issue - breeder reactors are the solution.

There's one thing that's handy about having it on the front, which is that the phone doesn't have to be picked up to unlock it. It's quite nice being able to read a message on my phone without picking it up from my desk.

But on the other hand, it is definitely more comfortable unlocking it from the back while holding it.

Maybe phones should have both!
Yes...but. People say this like it's a guarantee that insolvency won't catch up to them before the public panics, i.e. a bank run.

I don't believe that's correct. Insolvency seems strictly worse than being solvent.

As a depositor, if I don't see anyone else participating in a bank run, assuming the institution is solvent, then I have no reason to.

But if I know they are insolvent, even if nobody else in the world does yet, I have an incentive to immediately start a bank run, unless, say, there are bankruptcy proceedings right away that freeze everything.

It's the difference between musical chairs with one chair removed vs not.

I think it's more NTT and Sony. Every single Felica card in Japan is manufactured by Sony. Either way it doesn't matter.

It actually is a shame, because most countries that did buy felica are dropping it because of licensing even though it's technically better than any of the competitors.

Regardless of that Apple managed to get global felica into their phones since the iPhone 8. Googles japanese google pay is just a shim for Osaifu Keitai. At the end of the day they seem to be too busy reinventing android pay every couple of years instead of taking some lessons from Apple.

This is as much Googles fault as it is Sonys and NTT.

> This is certainly true. But this is also true of human languages

Yes, but this goes to the parent's point. Natural languages dialects can be so distinct that even though two interlocutors may be speaking the same language (e.g. English), they still might not be able to understand one another.

Classic example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73d6h_go7QI

This happens in computer programming languages as well. If you're a C++ programmer who uses smart pointers for everything, then you will have a rough time with my C++ code that uses raw pointers for everything. Even though we would both call ourselves C++ developers, our code follows different idioms, they are essentially different "dialects" of C++. I put dialect in quotes, because I wonder if there is any effort to track, catalogue, or otherwise create a taxonomy of computer programming language dialects as is done for natural language dialects.

Like, you can figure out where someone was born based on the words they use. Can you figure out what kind of projects a person has worked on, the companies they worked for, or the school they went to based on the style of code they write? This would be the job of a linguist or sociologist I think, and I don't know how often they look toward or communities for study.
I think if you read World Economic Forum's writings and know a little history (Tragedy & Hope by Quigley is a good place to start), the coming chaos which will possibly impact the mere 1%ers--with highly-paid doctors and lawyers getting possibly mistakenly mixed into the targets of rage--is all part of the plan.

WEF & Klaus Schwab's Great Reset intend to weaken the USA, because it is too independent and a bulwark against the unified world government, controlled by wealthy banking families & the true elite, they desire--they even state they desire.

If this sounds all too conspiratorial to you, please, read Quigley. He was a member of Team Elite, and while his history only goes to the ~60s, his book is credible enough to be taught in poly sci courses all across the world, and it details how a small group of international, rootless bankers have made strides over time to increase their control.

If you want to know what their agenda is, you can actually witness it being wrought in realtime. The overarching theme is that important concerns (specifically: economic issues) are to become within the control of this cretinous cabal. There is no room for national sovereignty in this. Social concerns are not just left to the individual nations, they are highlighted ad nauseum and hyped to the extreme, such that all the democratic nations in the world subsume themselves with vicious, divisive national arguments about relatively immaterial social concerns. Their medias endlessly stoke all manner of social problems--racial disparity, the rights of sexual minorities, the problems of religion--ensuring that nobody ever has a vote that can be cast for or against any particular economic choice or other, but rather, just a jumbled mass of nations all internally squabbling about relatively minor and divisive concerns.

I mean, it's a strategy as old as time. And it's playing out right here in the USA. Election 2020 was about what? Racism! (The USA meanwhile is one of the least racist places on earth.) What else was it about? LGBTQ rights! Conspiracy theories! What else was it about? COVID!

None of the debate was about the rise of China. About reshoring jobs and stifling the rise of a threatening and vile superpower. None of it was about actually cementing some kind of economic win for the 90%.

Two great places to start are "Beyond Corp"/zero trust and "WebAuthN". BeyondCorp is the name brand of a zero trust model, where the perimeter security model is broken down for authorization ("authz") and authentication ("authn") everywhere. WebAuthN is using PKI infrastructure with a purposeful UX to migrate away from passwords for authentication. The implementation and management of SSO is a complex topic with a lot of nuance beyond a single HN comment, so I'd recommend you speak to someone with some IAM (identity and access management) subject matter expertise to scope your use case and provide recommendations for possible solutions.

'If the discussion surrounding a novel or story leads a class to conclude that LGBTQ+ people are entitled to basic human rights, must the class be asked to seriously consider the opposing view: that those rights should be denied to anyone who differs from the heterosexual norm?"'

A man and a woman are the reproductive unit, and opponents of same sex marriage, including me, do not think the government should be sanctioning and thereby blessing other kinds of unions. A May 2019 Gallup poll found that 36% oppos same sex marriage. I think their views should be understood, if one is going to cover LGBTQ issues fairly.
