I strongly doubt Google's narrative about a manufacturing defect as the root cause. Several different devices with varying manufacturers were affected. In my case, the bootloop began immediately after the upgrade to Android Oreo.

Google told me, a US customer, to send my device to Huawei's nearest service center in mainland China at my own cost for diagnosis and repair. That is unacceptable for a Google-branded product designed by Google, unveiled by Google, marketed by Google, sold directly by Google, warrantied by Google, and bricked by Google.

Imagine, if you will, Audi sending you to Bosch in Germany (at your own cost!) after an Audi dealership in Indiana bricks your ECU during a recall service.
Honestly surprised this is so low. Have they been doing poorly?

Even if this were true, it's irrelevant. If a government initiates action that sparks a backlash, the government is responsible. If the government didn't also anticipate that backlash, it's incompetent in its duty to its citizenry.

And if it did anticipate it, well that's just worse.

Please don't take HN threads on generic ideological tangents. All that does is replace an interesting, specific, fresh topic with a shallow, predictable and boring one.

I don't mean that it isn't exciting, but something can be both exciting, in the sense that it excites strong feelings, and boring, in the sense that it doesn't contain any new information. Rhetoric like "beaten to a pulp and dead in a semi anonymous lynching in a no-name square" is an excellent example of what I mean: it's highly exciting and at the same time not intellectually interesting.

The larger generic topics are like black holes that suck in inquisitive spaceships (us!) that happen to veer nearby (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). It takes a certain awareness to remember this, so that we can stick to more interesting conversation. Certainly the discovery of how to mechanize the processing of Chinese characters is much more interesting than "the lesson of ideology"—at least in HN's sense of the word "interesting".

That's why we have this rule in the site guidelines. If you'd please review them, we'd appreciate it: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Would it help if you had the balancing knowledge that washing your hands for 10+ minutes is bad for them, causes inflammation, and that that also probably hurts your brain? You really can't win, honestly, life is about hitting that sweet spot in-between trying and giving up.
It's kind of hilarious, they had to stop the practice, and immediately somehow AMD is resurrected (because they can actually compete now), and so the fine no longer applies. If anything it proves that the practice was harmful.
It would be hard to imagine you couldn't make money buying a radio station for $150,000. Fast-forwarding to 2022 though the market cap of iHeart Media is $2.7B opposed to the $134M market cap of that time. On their web site they claim

"more than 860 live broadcast stations in 153 markets across America"

so that is around $3.1M per station.

I think people on the West Coast have a distorted idea about the quality of radio and TV service in the rest of the US. Around L.A. there are 100+ TV channels available with a modest antenna not just because the industry is centered there but because millions of people have a view of the Hollywood sign or any antenna on a mountaintop.

Starting around Ithaca and going south down to Alabama the terrain is a dissected plain where valleys take the place of mountain and if you are in one of those valleys you are lucky to get FM radio at all. I can't receive anything indoors with a clock radio or home theater receiver and in my car most stations will cut out somewhere between home and work. If they don't cut out there they will cut out when you go down 600 feet to Ithaca. I get the big networks and Fox and some off-brand stations from Syracuse but don't get ABC, I might put up a bigger antenna in the spring to try and get it or point another antenna at Binghamton. (At least I get football and the matchups have been excellent this year)

Driving around upstate New York the one thing you could count on was getting the Rush Limbaugh show at noon, when the sun sets and the atmospheric D layer disappears it is fun to hear the fight between Bloomberg Radio talking about the stock markets about to open in Asia and the Black Information Network from Detroit.

Thus my point of contact with iHeart Media is the streaming service which I usually use to listen to specialty shows on the two college radio stations that I can't get at home despite being 5 miles or so from the sticks.
Thats a great callout.

Beginning of WW1 era worked kind of liked i am talking about, companies would make prototype guns, and the army would test them all out and choose the one they liked the best. The companies that lost the bids might and did go out of business. But relative cost to make a prototype gun was relatively low. Im sure there was quite a bit of good old boy network going on, but at least we have evidence of the different prototypes being competed and assessed against.

But something like modern fighter jets are just too expensive for a company to have a working prototype first. But I would argue thats a sign that a nation shouldnt be investing so heavily in things like F35s to begin with. I think most estimates have an actual peer level shooting war result in most air plane fleets being wiped out pretty quickly by missiles and destroying the bases. Why does Russian need an F35 equivalent when they can produce more than enough SAM missiles to destroy it? And the time to actually replace an F35 that gets destroyed is what? A year or more? Time to make missiles isnt a year.

The nation that has designs for a "good enough" plane that can go from factory sky to in 1 to 3 months will win that conflict, and the United States doesnt explore that style at all. Even though its the exact method that helped them win their last major conflict!
If they felt that way, they probably wouldn't be building the thing in the first place.

what? no. assets/IP have always been highly valued and certainly not on the sole basis of their cost-to-replicate.

(and if you can't sell assets, that's the only valid metric for valuation - "I need that thing and would have built it anyway". Even if it's complimentary to your existing business - the BATNA is "build it myself".)

We had a big issue way before the vaccine mandates thanks to the absurdity of right-wing media and right-wing politicians' conspiracy theories. And subsequent pushing of ineffective treatments. There are still people here in the US who believe that ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, z-packs, and steroids will save them if they get it. And they're unvaccinated.

My friend's sibling just died two months ago. Otherwise healthy and everything. Not old. But in a red county with lots of Fox News watchers, so they'd avoided the vaccine. Sad thing is, the rest of the family finally talked them into getting it and they were scheduled but got Covid the week before. Dead a month later.
So excited for this news to finally be public!
No she didn't. She said cloth masks were the least effective type of mask. Here's the CDC guidance: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-si...

And here's a quote not a "paraphrase": "What I will say is the best mask that you can wear is the one that you will wear and the one you can keep on all day long that you can tolerate in public indoor settings and tolerate where you need to wear it," Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, told reporters this week. from https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/cdc-warns-loosely-woven-clot...

I believe that people who are willing to put their neck out there as a high profile leader AND are able inspire others to get to work on a bold vision are rare. I believe those are the sought after qualities in a tech leader.

It doesn’t matter if his last 3 projects failed. They were all ambitious and he got people to work on them. Many businesses run themselves on inertia alone and you just need people to keep working. He will find another job.

The reason I want this is not to make the standards easier for people to understand. Sure, the standards will be in legalese. But they are already in legalese. The goal is to make the standards more comprehensible to machines as well, without further degrading their (already problematic) comprehensibility to humans. Kill two birds with one stone.

Don't like displaying the same content twice either. It gets a bit old mentioning Obsidian all the time, but their source code view is very close to the rendered view. This, and Typoras approach, are two good solutions to avoid split screen.

I wonder if there are more ways to solve that problem.
I wonder the people who are questioning vaccine mandates (which evidently brings down the hospital admission rates, thereby saving the health system) also question no public nudity mandates?

Connection to 2 devices at the same time indeed works fine, mic quality for earbuds is also very good.

But they have other issues like if you remove the right earbud from your ear the left one stops (due to their choice of tech for bud to bud connection), sound glitches randomly when paired to m1 macbook, in ear fit is ok but not great.
I don't think that Butlerian Jihad is a solution because, apart from authorial fiat in fiction, groups willing to use intelligent machines will not be ruled over by forces unwilling to use intelligent machines.

Pretty sure the US doesn't have an official federal-issued ID, and most of the time driving license works as such. And it seems this applies to the majority of Anglosphere countries.

Here in Poland we have a compulsory IDs, which for over 20 years now are plastic. Recently RFID tags and finger prints were added; there's also a standard biometric photo of face. All of this comes also with electronic and qualified electronic signature which can be used to verify our identity in government services or to sign the digital documents. And yes, we need to have it or the slowly accepted digital version when we want to vote in any elections.
> My bank has made it (almost) impossible to make payments without a phone, btw

My bank has several buildings full of people, all within driving distance of my house. Any of those people will happily accept a stack of paper bills.

If you don't want to use digital forms of payment, why on earth are you using a bank that doesn't have physical branches located near your home?
> They are not in any way exploiting the labor and time of others, at least not in any meaningful sense of the word 'exploit',

I think some very clearly are. Obviously there's level degrees here. But on the systematic level it's clearly that Capitalism depends on other people being a means to an end of other, wealthier, people. That due to their property, and others lack thereof, can indirectly force people to labour for their benefit. Thus exploiting them due to the unequal distribution of property/capital in a society that require it to survive.

> They are trading resources for that labor and time, by making an offer that the worker is happy to take over all others

That's not a "happy trade". It's a concession due to worse alternatives because the system people find themselves in offer no other alternatives for millions upon millions of people. That's not freedom.

> Your moral framework is totally incoherent, as it would imply that an offer that a worker is happy to receive, is an act of authoritarianism toward that worker.

No, it's not. People pick the less worse option all the time under authoritarian structures.

You're consistently shallow in your thinking and not bothering to dive a few steps deeper and ask simple questions like why people would accept a 19th century mining job or their modern equivalents? Were those mining jobs "happy trades"?
Couldn't be more proud of this team! Can't wait to watch E3 grow
The vaccine mandates are also getting a bit awkward because the justification was always that they protect others, but with omicron, that's a lot less true.
I'm in love this device and would pay 10x the cost to have one if it included Wifi and QMK firmware for the keyboard. Bluetooth and NFC would be great too, but not critical. The keyboard reminds me a lot of the Atreus42, which is ideal for me. Too many of these small devices follow a conventional keyboard layout (looking at you, ClockworkPi DevTerm and Popcorn Pocket Computer).
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but doesn't the existence of collisions guarantee that h(1)== h(some_real_data) unless the hash function is hilariously broken?

Cryptographically secure hash functions state that it's unlikely to occur, but the fact that you can take data a greater size than the output will guarantee that you'll have collisions. If you have collisions and the hash function is generating output that is uniformly distributed across the possible output space, you will hit h(1)==h(some_real_data) at some point (edit: given that "some point" is a mathematical concept, not an actual point in time. Of course, there's no guarantee that we'll ever get collisions for hash functions with massive output spaces. But I'd argue that's a limit of computing, not of the math behind the functions themselves)
Unfair to the plugin author? It's moot anyways because we're making a design change to the site and changing how we reference community plugins. We aren't stopping developers from finding and using whatever plugin they want to use, just changing how "official" they look on our website.
> There's definitely regulation pending regarding crypto. In particular, many non-Bitcoin cryptos are likely securities. Stablecoins backings are to be regulated. And there may be mining regulation where it's not outright banned, but (CO2) taxed.

They can 'regulate' it by banning Proof-of-Work mining for 'climate change' reasons and then it will be outlawed or heavily taxed, just like in China, Kosovo, Kazakhstan and possibly Russia.

Sure, Bitcoin (and any other cryptocurrencies) can't be totally 'banned', but enough to discourage mining and using PoW cryptocurrencies via legislation or taxes.
I wish the US had something better than Plaid to track various account balances. That’s all I use Wealthfront for, now UBS owns all the data and has my logins.
Core library of Arbitrum, currently securing $2.7B, appears to be nonfree
Agreed completely. I don’t know how anyone can justify 10 times the fees using wealthfront for non trivial amounts of money.

I personally have many friends who are very happy with betterment and wealthfront which is good. When I ask them about their returns in the past couple years they say that the stocks have done amazingly.

When I tell them SPY would’ve given them higher returns and lower fees they’re skeptical, and lo and behold when I actually show them they’re shocked.

I feel these companies survive on sheer inertia
By better I meant
a/ cheaper transaction costs for the app maker to generate a higher revenue
b/ fast integration for an app maker to bring online and card present capabilities to its sellers so you can generate revenue faster
c/ card present can be activated via a webapp
d/ event/ticketing functions integrated to payments for app makers involved in events/ticketing to get richer functions
Anyone know of any other product offer that will take excess after direct deposit and invest it for you?

I've called Fidelity and Betterment and both do not offer an automated way like wealthfront does. Really sad to see wealthfront being the only player in that space.

Edit: by automated I mean something like "everything over $10k after bills, invest". It takes a couple of clicks per month manually, but it's been pretty relieving not having to do that every month.
There is an enormous practical difference between allowing inference of medical conditions (PHI deidentification) and allowing in edge cases the inference of information that is already available in public voter registration rolls.

This is neat looking! I don't have loads of experience using markdown editors, but the 2 features which i think really attract me to wanting to use it are:

1. Exporting into soooo many formats (thanks to pandoc).

2. Importing into this app from other formats. The associated website briefly talks about importing a Word doc (working on it distraction-free, and then re-exporting as a doc file format), which seems a little bit of an edge case *for my workflows* but the fact that it is possible i think is/could be really handy!

I think i'll give this a try. Kudos for releasing this!
If I sold Bitcoin last year, that would make me a fraudster according to your definition? If I plan to hold Bitcoin, am I also a victim? If I have Bitcoin is it more ethical for me to keep it or to sell it? I can't say I was ever deceived though, I understand Bitcoin pretty well down to the lines of code. Also, did you know that the person or group of persons that "set it all up", Satoshi Nakamoto, never sold his Bitcoins?
I once read this is actually tied to the degree of agriculture vs animal raising.

Because animals are easily stolen, cultures around animals as food, tend to consider weapon ownership essential, and tend to think highly of self defense and whatnot.

These same cultures also tend to believe strongly in "hospitality", in the sense that if you have guests you need to take care of them and whatnot, because you might need to be someone guest too.

Meanwhile plant-based cultures tend instead to favor things like schedules, calendars, seasons, festivals and so on, because this is what essential to their food instead, meanwhile it doesn't matter if someone is strolling in your land when it is not harvest season, the person won't steal your food.
It is interesting you say that because the first notice I saw of it starting to get politicized was people calling Trump racist for attempting to placing a travel ban from/to China, and for using the phrase China virus, when there is a decent history of naming diseases from where they came from. I think in fact your link attests to that because it's not saying anything about COVID it is all about how Trump is being racist for using the word China flu. Personally I can't stand the guy, but if you believe that the entire virus and COVID response was made entirely politicized by Donald Trump, I'd check your medication because you might just be taking crazy pills in that case as you stated at the beginning.
> Imho all robo advisers are a waste of money.

Robo and human financial advisors provide emotional hand-holding and comfort.

...of lockdowns?
It's actually larger than you'd think, because OP didn't also include "only one of the first two shots" in the "partially vaccinated" category.
I have a child with an anxiety disorder, and whenever he learns new information about any potential harm it completely throws him out of whack for a week or two. He's getting better with treatment, but he's also getting to the age where current events are part of the school curriculum, so it's a bit tense from a parenting point of view to see which one will win out in terms of him having a healthy childhood.
> How much better has wealth front done vs SPY, fee adjusted?

That comparison isn't really a good way to evaluate based on since it doesn't account for risk, only reward.
