> Also, by "recovering" the image in this way, you strip it off IPTC copyright metadata which makes your copy illegal to use in the UK, for example.

Not sure about the UK but in a lot of countries there are exceptions for interoperability which would nullify this issue since you are converting from an obscure, undocumented and not interoperable format to a standard image format.
This is a drive-by comment, but for free/open source software, it is really helpful to have a screenshot or two. The unfortunate truth is that a lot of open source software has mediocre design, and for a Calendly alternative (where I'll share a link with prospective work contacts), a good UX is very important.

At risk of being that rsync commenter, I do think paying $12/month (as Calendly and Cal charge) for multiple meeting types is a bit much. I'm mostly ok with the free tier, though.
> Also, technology has advanced so much in the past 15 years that people are replacing their Apple devices significantly less frequently than they used to.

Not sure about that. We have annual OS updates with force obsolescence via termination of device support and security updates. (Even the "supported" N-2 versions of macOS don't get all the security updates of the latest version.)

And the devices now all have batteries that aren't user-replaceable.

With the 2 year phone carrier contracts, the financial incentive was actually to upgrade your phone every 2 years. Those are mostly gone now, but it's rumored that Apple is working on a new hardware subscription.
This fails at the “call them up” step. Nobody you get on the phone is going to understand or care about any of this.
Funny I went to the `issues` page and someone is very upset about this:

https://github.com/MrGlockenspiel/activate-linux/issues/7

> Ok guys, hear me out bcuz i am TRIGGERED!!! i was just minding my business in my redhat based arch linux distro and all of a sudden: AXTIVATE LINUX>??? on my screen!? what the crap??? so I went online to figure out how to frickin activate my linux and I COULD NOT FIND???????? what the heck is "open-source"??? last time i checked the source engine by Valve(tm) IS ALREADY OPEN? so i had to go to Like page 52 on google.com and I find "purcahse linux product key" so i clicked. and then it said $200??? kind of expensive but linux is cool and good so I was like ok i will pay to activate. but they didnt accept google pay what the heckkkkkk!!!!!!!! so i had to go ask for my DADS credit card. he said no bcuz he is a stupid idiot so i had to steal it from him while he was wrestling with mom. and i put card number into the site so i could activate my linux and get rid of this stupid messgae on screen and everything was ok. i pressed buy and then.. NO PRODUCT KEY APPEAR?????????? now my linux is not activated and my dad hits me every night and day. fuk u mrcockenspiel i hate u so much!!!!!!!!!!1 FUCK YOU SCAMMAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I'm with you. A lot of companies are unfortunately going to have a very rough time going forward.
Unfortunately AirPlay doesn't support Atmos music. Despite spending thousand dollar plus on a Denon and Klipsch setup, I quickly found out that my Apple Music Atmos songs play only as stereo using AirPlay. It's probably Apple's fault...but it reduced the value of my receiver for me. Buy a 7.1 channel setup and effectively listen to only 2 channels :/
I may be coming too cynical on this.
So folks are supposed to add value for google for free. And Google can get away by gamification tricks?
If I'm understanding your question correctly, I think you're looking for something like Bandcamp which lets you pay to add music or other audio items to your collection which you can stream or download in high quality formats

I'd say prior to generics, removing methods but keeping the same layout was the main reason to use this kind of declaration for non-primitive types.
The article is about Canada, which is (mostly) an English-speaking country.
How about write software themselves on their devices and share it with their friends for starters? You know without paying a tithe to Apple. That'd go a long way.
The ones I use and have seen use PIR, and are battery powered. The batteries last a long time esp. if it isn't triggered often.

The biggest limitation I've found is that it takes a bit of soldering iron adventure if you want to have a remote disable switch. :)
I have ublock origin. I actually disable it at times because it's killing some of the ads that I do like. Google is an excellent example, where the ads are often literally the thing I'm looking for.

I still blame Google or big tech for this. If everybody were more open users wouldn't need to resort to shady shit.

They use shady hackers as an excuse to build their walled gardens which creates more shady hackers.
They build the operating system and the firmware, and design the CPUs. Maybe possibly protecting against some hypothetical future problem vs a real problem that exists today is not a good trade off.
They are bypassed, it's just that cracking groups don't publish their level 1 methods to not get them patched.

That's the beauty of the asymmetry against DRM, one file shared is enough to break it.

I want to point out that in the United States, patients have access to their health data via API using open standards that are free and accessible for developers.

This is now.

There is a huge lack of applications that make use of these APIs and the opportunities to improve patient's managing their own health are enormous.

If appraisals were arranged and paid for by lenders, I think appraisals would become a lot more honest. But most lenders these days will only perform due diligence to the extent Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac require (and they already have a lot of requirements, which is why the underwriting process is so maddening), so the onus is really on the backers to require appraisers have some sort of fiduciary duty to them.
If this is true, he’s absolutely a pathological liar.
Aside from what the sibling reply said (which is definitely true), he also can’t really come post on HN about it.

But i suppose if he made a top down order to enumerate things he might get a good idea. But Apple is just.. kinda weird. Things can be a secret even to the reporting chain above the people working on them. Certainly the specific tech being used can be closely guarded.

And then there are just several different infrastructure systems things are on, with varying degrees of openness, and most of them designed to resist tampering or unplanned inspection.
Good feature, although a bit slow for me in a major metro.

Agreed, QA teams have been disbanded and deemphasized as well.

I know at least two USA people that I grew up with, that have upper-middle class lives now with money made in these consumer digital products spaces. Lots of free-culture people complain (rightly!) but the amount of commerce that is generated with (unfair?) DRM is substantial. As an American, it always hit me that China flagrently ignored copyright, like Disney etc knockoffs.. how can authors get paid? how do photographers get paid to have real lives? It is easy to complain about DRM and I agree, but it is not a complete discussion without the part where creators get paid, somehow.

Yeah, AirPlay is such a disappointment. I'm thinking about investing more heavily into Chromecast related things since they're more amenable to custom code. Unfortunately, there's no way I'll sign up for any Google-based music service (and I work for Alphabet!).

Edit to add: Dolby <anything> is also a bit of a fiasco. LG TVs went through multiple firmware updates to attempt to correctly negotiate Dolby Vision. I appreciate that they want to push audio / video quality, but it seems weird that the industry testing process for integration is so poor.
I was on a workshop once where the topic was entropy and somehow we got into a discussion regarding Maxwell's Damon... This strongly reminds me of that discussion.

The problem for the Damon is, that it needs to change the state of the trap according to the state of the incoming particle. And if you just hand wave "such a decision making thing exists", then you have your contradiction. But we tried, for several days, to come up with _any_ implementation (including fantasy materials) that could conceivably exist _and_ produce that effect. And for each and every attempt to build one, we came up _immediately_ with diffusive parts, where energy _must_ be lost.
We concluded, that while non of us would feel confident to _rule out_ a possible existence of Maxwell's Damon, we wouldn't _at all_ be surprised if it could be ruled out.

So while you are entirely correct, with enough hand-waviness, you can build reversible computations. But I have yet to see an argument, where a _potential_ implementation of one is argued to the end.
Despite their take on privacy, I'd not be surprised if Apple also purchased a tonne of user data from brokers, however.

At the end of the day, they are a very successful business that serves its own bottom line. The privacy angle for the mobile and browser ecosystem, in my eyes, is nothing but market positioning (as more or less anti-Android and anti-Chrome) even if they are engineering novel solutions such as the Private Relay.

If they really cared, they wouldn't be in bed with Google for their search deal, for example: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/25/technology/apple-google-s...
U.S. doctor here. I think "ownership" is not the correct way of thinking about this. I would argue that "access" is the better concept. If a dentist creates an xray in his office, then she should have access to the image to be able to prove that she provide standard-of-care treatment should claims of malpractice be leveled. A patient of this dentist should also have ready access to this as it is their body and their information. And perhaps an insurance company may require that they have the right to access the image and ensure the dentist is no submitting fraudulent charges. And many more examples could be created. Throw in privacy considerations adds yet another wrinkle. Again, I think "ownership" or "copyright" is not the best concept.
What’s unfortunate. It looks like someone who valued it appropriately has it and the business is in great shape. This is the whole thing: you can just beat everyone by picking better and running it appropriately. If you can’t find a path to the first, I really can’t believe you can find a path to the second.
This. Striking a tone of curiosity helps soften what you're saying, versus creating an accusation that they feel they have to defend against. Ideally, it'll open up the person you're talking to, so they can join in your curiosity and better see in themselves what you are seeing, or at least create more mutual understanding.

Unfortunately, people that are immature and deal with their insecurities poorly this doesn't tend to work on.

At a certain point, people have to want to work on themselves and you have to not concern yourself too much with how they react to information that triggers their cognitive dissonance defenses as long as you are approaching them from a position of empathy and curiosity. It's easy to want to keep helping people no matter what but at this point they will just drag you down to their level as a form of self-protection.

So I think the "solution" (or maybe it's a cop-out?) is that you can nudge people certain ways and expose them to new information, but what they do with it is entirely their responsibility and you have to let go if you make a good effort to communicate and they just aren't receptive. We only have so much emotional energy and should use it wisely.
They really need to tap into the 401(k) market but we all know how that is going to end for retail investors…

Any correspondence between formal properties of the algorithm, namely, the logical model of the system and its physical properties *requires* (1) the algorithm; and (2) the implementation model.

Speaking about "computational processes" and "reversibility" at all, absent these, is meaningless.

What exactly, of the brain is the "computational process" ? What exactly is "irreversable" ? This is really just pseduo-science, though it may not seem it.

We have no idea whatsoever what a logical model of anything to do with animal intelligence is, and hence, absolutely no idea what properties of animals (local to the brain or otherwise) are relevant to them implementing this logical model. To say any process of the brain is "computational" is either to say something useless (namely in the sense in which every process is "presumably, somehow computational, given a logical model") -- or, to say something pseudoscientific.

I would agree that animals, in modifying their environments by conceptualising them and developing skillful techniques to regulate themselves in response to them (ie., largely: intelligence), are highly thermodynamically irreversible systems.

This isnt a useful observation, given in pseudo-csci terminology, absent a correspondence between this physical facts and the presumed logical model of the computation going on.

If the whole of reality is an algorithm, it's one (via energy conservation) which requires zero energy to run. Ie., "logical bit" and "thermal bit" are radically different notions. They are connected contingently when one has an algorithm to-hand, and knows how it will be implemented.

There's nothing to be said about the logical bits of animal intelligence, ie., nothing to be said computationally, because we have no idea what they are.
They might, best-case-scenario, just be listening for keywords, and actually think I want to do a rollout. It's kind of sad one has to think this way, and I wouldn't push things to the point of actively deceiving, but what if something like the above worked?

I admittedly don't care about any of it either. My goal would be to introduce chinks in the armor in the arguments presented and try and carry that as far as possible in the hope a solution presents itself. The idea in the GP popped into my head as one entirely-throwaway potential solution to that bigger-picture problem. It's quite possible a different approach may work better.
I'm the author of the original piece. Totally agree with this -- it can be quite simple to implement. Increasing retention makes a big difference. Unfortunately, there are more incentives to hire than to retain, so many companies do a poor job of it.

I've been at three companies that have implemented pay equity (and one of those I was the one implementing it). I wrote up a guide to implementing pay equity here: https://www.rubick.com/implementing-pay-equity/ and it's basically as you describe -- have new and existing employees get paid the same rate, with no manager or recruiter discretion.

In his letter to the CEO he expressed skepticism that the myth of a geographically unique business had anything to do with the real value of their products, so in a sense it's the opposite of a marketing pitch.
The termination of device support tends to be for devices that are 7+ years old. That’s quite a reasonable support lifetime. A lot of commercial software support has a similar or shorter term.

Also, as of today, battery replacements for all supported iPhone devices costs less than $70. That’s a very good price and basically includes the labor for free. Nobody is getting ripped off here.

Right, the big news was that it was already sold off months ago. But just because Sharp / Voxx is going to reuse the brand name (and likely some base IP) that doesn't mean people won't notice.

An appropriately ironic comment, given that you just arrogantly belittled someone while also accusing them of narcissism, despite the author plainly writing that they don't claim any of the ideas are good. Next time RTFA before spouting inflammatory nonsense.

A few others

- Neighbor wrath saver: Constantly listen for shower and other bathroom noises and shut off any alarms if the user is deemed to be inside the bathroom and unable to reach the phone.

- Maps optimizer: Constantly listen to the accelerometer and if you determine the pattern to be the person running and there is a Facebook or Google calendar event starting within 30 minutes, automatically start navigating to it. If there are multiple simultaneous events in the calendar, try to determine which one the user is running towards and help the user reach that particular event. But also listen to the microphone and stop navigation if the user yells "shut up". Increase the font size and button size as well if the user is trying to operate phone while running.

- Caltrain ticket optimizer: If your GPS location is approaching a Caltrain station and the train is due to arrive within 3 minutes such that you're worried about purchasing a ticket in time, automatically download the Caltrain app and purchase a ticket for you so you don't have to fiddle with the machine. Work with Caltrain Inc so that it can unpurchase the ticket if you don't actually board the train

- Laundry optimizer: Automatically listen for sounds of laundry machines starting and remind you in 35 minutes later if it's the sound of a washer starting, or 45 minutes later if it's the sound of a dryer starting

- Cooking optimizer: Use front camera to determine if the user's hand is full of flour, oil, egg and if so, enable voice control of the UI of sorts e.g. "scroll down slightly", "kill that popup", "don't lock screen for the next hour" etc.

- Use the phone as a bluetooth mouse using the flashlight, rear camera, and accelerometer to determine motion on the table.

Go doesn’t have inheritance. Defining one type in terms of another is not a subclass. It has embedding, which is a close substitute based on composition, but it isn’t the same.

See: https://go.dev/doc/faq#inheritance and https://go.dev/doc/effective_go#embedding

It’s a little confusing because for primitive operations, it kind of looks like Go has inheritance, but this isn’t true for user-defined methods. (And automatic casting might in some cases compound the confusion.)

A UK private dentist gave me both bitewings and the pano for my Antarctic medical. On the other hand I wasn't allowed my gall bladder ultrasound from a private hospital or my chest xray from the city hospital (but they gave me my ECG as a printout). I remember my gran always used to come home with her chest xray films. I can sort of understand the ultrasound as it's difficult to interpret, but could you GDPR it out of the hospital? I think the chest xray they just sent a summary to my doctor and not even the image. I assume they're worried about litigation.
If HN is any indicator, in tech a unionization drive will get you N very smart troglodytes with N distinct first takes, cooked up from hand-carved first principles.

Probably garnished with a smattering of alleged uncles' union job war stories.

Believe me-- my own uncle used to be a union organizer in tech. After decades of dealing with this pattern he landed in hospital and died. (Doctors said most likely from a broken heart.)

And don't forget that unionization drives would necessarily introduce recurring interruptions to developers' coding flow. Just in the U.S. that could hinder development rates by a double-digit percentage.

In conclusion, I'd be wary of any unionization drive in tech.
