Yeah, I really wanted to ditch owning a phone at all when my last one broke but I realised that too many services require having some sort of authenticator or phone for two factor authentication. Banks literally require having a mobile phone as they will require you to authenticate transactions through their app. So I'm still chained to the damn thing.
Yes! Nexus 4 was a great phone.
There's an issue with ZenFone 8 often referred to as "ram dump" which Asus hasn't addressed, and caused many phones to brick suddenly: https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/208476/
Yeah, agreed - I had wondered if 4 lenses at the screen corners (maybe) plus some clever software could maybe do the trick too.
$30 for an outliner and 1 year of support does feel steep.

I dig that it has AppleScript support, rare (and great!) to see a new app supporting that.
I want to add another comment here supporting the fact that the camera is probably the main device feature I care about, and why I end up with a phone fancier and bigger than I’d like, and maybe second most important factor is battery life.
How does Reflect compare to Noteplan 3? They both look similar.

I’m really surprised that the only way to get a consumer ARM chip is to buy an SBC or else a fully assembled computer (e.g., Mac Mini). I really want to build my own low-power server, but it seems like the only way to go is to buy a Raspberry Pi compute module and a carrier board (I’m not even sure where to find one of decent quality), and even then I’m either stuck with the SBC memory/gpu or maybe I can supplement with some PCIe stuff (although it seems like a complete gamble as to whether or not the Pi will support a given device).

Why isn’t there a market for standalone ARM chips and motherboards like there is for x86?

We dedicate globally 40 mil. km2 of land to meat & dairy production, 39 mil. km2 to forests and just 1.5 mil. km2 to urban and built-up lands [0].

Switching to plant-based foods (at least removing beef & dairy from our diets) would free up 30 mil. km2 of land.

We can have enough plant-based dairy and proteins to feed the population many times over, simultaneously decrease our carbon footprint, stop anthropogenic extinction and increase housing availability.

The accountants at Amazon have material non-public information that they can't act on for obvious reasons, but if they know beforehand - for instance - that sales aren't growing as fast as they used to, or that luxury purchases are trending downward, they can forecast that their own price might slump in the next few months.
I miss the iPhone 5. That was a great size and shape. Same width as the 4, just a bit longer of course.
Based on my experience and since you mention it, the only thing they were responding to was the fact that you put the company’s name in your code base. There’s probably also a good chance that their take-home instructions specifically say NOT to do this.

Whether or not you’re “right” about ownership (whatever this means), to me you just sound like a jerk.
I love my iPhone 12 Mini, and I was really disappointed when I found out the mini line is likely being dropped with the next generation (It's almost certain)

Being very honest, I think the original iPhone was the right size - through the iPhone 4. I appreciate that people wanted larger screens, and larger screens accommodate larger batteries, but I think the 3.5" screen of the early iPhones made for a great size.

Oh well.
Did everyone relax? Curious to know what happened. :)
Author here. All good points. Yes, you can build a super-structured type system on top of tables. EdgeDB does this well. And you can put JSON into relational columns. Then you might ask what the "type" of that column is? Well, if you want deep types, the row type varies from column to column as the JSON values vary and you have to walk the JSON to determine the type. SQL implementation are beginning to try to do deal with this mess by adding layers on top of tables. We're saying, maybe we should think differently about the problem and build tables on top of types as a special case of a type system. This also gives a very nice way to get data into and out of systems without having to go through the messiness of ODBC and special casing tables vs tuples vs scalars etc.

You'd think that with all that competition, NetFlix's streaming service would be much better in order to compete with other companies (which have a far better selection). But somehow they get away with having a crappy selection, despite having lots of competitors.

Conversely, since NetFlix's DVD service doesn't have any competitors they could get away with having a crappy selection, but they have a great selection, and it's been great for at least a decade.

So it still doesn't make sense.
I've gone through several jobs over the last year (I managed to join a company that got acquired by a company I wasn't happy with).

Smaller and medium companies are offering great salaries right now. I took an offer for over $300k just on salary. I know others who are jumping ship from the big companies to smaller ones while still getting a big bump in salary. Even with this market slump there are far more open positions than there are people to fill them, which means those people can demand quite a bit.

Running the last gen Mac Mini Server which Apple decided to not support past Catalina. As a fan of TaskPaper, this appears to be the point where Apple obsolesce hits me because macOS 11 is needed for Bike and some other new apps I have tried this month.

With 16GB RAM, and the HDDs replaced with SSDs it is a perfectly capable desktop. I would upgrade macOS if I could, but it may be time to move it to Fedora. That won't solve the root issue with Mac apps - Intel architectures don't evolve so fast as a machine with this performance capacity becoming unsupported.

+1 for taking small steps. As someone who's dealt with anxiety for years, it's one of the most reliable ways for me to actually make progress when I'm overwhelmed.

I'll typically try making a list of the small steps I need to take, though I recognize that for some people seeing that list might make the anxiety worse. But for me it's a tangible step that allows me to cross off items and visualize the progress as I go which ends up reducing my anxiety about the task at hand. I do it for everything from work related projects to general "cleaning up the house" type work.

Viewing boom-bust cycles as "something that just happens, we have no theory to explain why" is the great failure and embarrassment of mainstream (that is to say Keynesian) economics.

It's funny how our expectations have changed. I am keen to like this app simply because of who it's from, Hog Bay, who made one of the first Mac apps that really inspired me to how different Mac software could be back in the 2005-ish era. That was WriteRoom, and I used it on my second-gen Intel running Tiger and Snow Leopard.

In 2007 it was $25: https://web.archive.org/web/20070202002238/https://www.hogba... (and crikey wasn't design beautiful back then? Look at that snapshot of web design history.)

That same $25 would, calculated by inflation, cost $35 now. Which is the price of this app, Bike.

> Lenovo however can be repaired for years with off the shelf components and at very low cost.

The Framework uses standard parts for wifi, storage, and display. The "proprietary" bits are the mainboard, the battery, and the keyboard/mouse assembly (in the case of the Framework, mainly because of the custom connector).

This is precisely the same situation as with Lenovo, save that the Framework is far more modular and thus easy to repair.

I'm not sure why you think there's any difference.

first gen SE is smallest, and both it and the 2nd/3rd gen SE are smaller than the 11 pro (though the latter is closer, only 0.2" smaller in both length and width).

The 2nd/3rd gen SE is the same size as the iphone 8.
Are you sure it is that rare? I find it shocking that most people don't feel joy when the people they care about are happy. My assumption is that depressed people would feel worse, but people who are generally happy themselves would feel happy when someone else is feeling happy.

Where do you get your assumption that only 1 in 100,000 people are happy for others? The fact that there are at least two people who feel this way commenting in this chat seems to imply your numbers are off. I don't think the percentage of depressed people in the world is that high.

> Big companies are drowning in market data. They know some people really, really want small phones. But it's a long-tail opportunity they're willfully ignoring

I would argue that they don’t know what people want at all, since market data just reinforces previously held assumptions. For example if you surveyed people in 2006 what kind of phone they wanted, most consumers would probably ask for a better flip phone. It wasn’t until Apple came along and defined a new market that Smartphones even became a thing in the mainstream consciousness.
Facebook and Coinbase are unique cases. Coinbase was fueled by cheap money and crypto craze. Facebook is ceding way to TikTok and due to huge investments in VR tech. Companies with profits should tighten the hatches and come out fine after 12-18 months.
> Polygenic scores are themselves an aggregation. And they contain a ton of noise.

Again, noisy data can still be useful. For instance, generate a perfect single-variable normal distribution, sample along the x-axis and perturb each point randomly in the y direction either up or down. Depending on the range of random values used to move the sampled points, you can still see the underlying distribution even though the data is noisy.

Two possible arguments you might make:

1) The data is noisy and the paper's authors haven't collected enough data to account for the amount of noise. Usually people will do something like null-hypothesis significance testing to measure this.

2) The noise isn't uniformly random and has some underlying bias that is affecting the results.

There is no such thing as a yacht owned by a person; even if you wanted to operate some small one, you would create SPE (=special purpose entity, i.e. a company) for it. So they were owned by companies. Yachts are operated as businesses, especially larger ones.

And it is not just about yachts and airplanes. There were freezed accounts in usd and eur, i.e. the primary motivator for switching sale of oil and gas to rubles. These were owned by companies too.

So in this regard, there's no difference. The famous Bismarck quote about Russians comes to mind.

I have some combat explosives training. What I see in the picture there is sort of inspired by a real thing, but weirdly stylized.

The real thing: Take stiff cardboard slightly larger than the hole you want to make, any shape. Using wire or such to hold it in place, arrange flexible "rope" of plastic explosive in loops on the cardboard, in any shape you want. It's going to be a continuous rope, not separate bits like in that image. Make it a triangle: 3 layers, then 2 on top, then 1. This is the "shaped explosive" part, and directs the force toward the wall. Nail/etc flat side of cardboard to door/wall you want a hole in, move to side & to safe distance. Make it go boom.

I've converted a thick wood door into toothpicks with that.

> This was all debated and considered extensively while the moves to universal HTTPS were happening. People moved read-only sites as well for a reason.

And the entire discussion was primarily motivated by pervasive surveillance. Which is the point I was making that we're living in a bad equilibrium (low trust society) where there is an attacker and there is a costly defense against the attacker that demonstrates that this particular kind of attack can be rendered useless but we cannot stop paying for the defense because as soon as we do the attacks would resume.
If we could instead solve the regulatory problem and forbid surveillance then we would not have to pay that price.

> Further, like all practical public crypto use in the face of adversaries, there is a lot of benefit from using it universally and thus "hiding in the herd". Otherwise, the mere usage of crypto itself is a signal, and also easier to target and block (not just technically but via laws). Whereas when it's just baked into literally everything that's much harder to outright infeasible, and also destroys that extra bit of signal.

That's just a different angle on the surveillance, no? If we had no surveillance then nobody would be there to observe those bits of information you would leak by using or not using encryption.

> In principle, we could have some universal standard for signing and authenticating as unaltered websites without bothering to encrypt them. But frankly that seems pointless vs just having encryption as well.

There are plenty of benefits such as lower latency, much simpler zero-copy IO on the server side (sendfile), improved caching, less energy and silicon area wasted on encryption, less technological obsolescence, a smaller your-ciphersuite/OpenSSL-has-flaws maintenance treadmill. To some extent we could even do without CAs (via content-addressable data).

These may all be papercuts, but we're still getting cut because we can't collectively just tell the NSA to get off our lawn even though we have the means to keep them out anyway.

my understanding is that gridcoin "rewards" people participating in boinc by incrementing numbers on a blockchain that uses proof of stake. It doesn't use scientific computing, like protein folding, as a proof of work for the chain itself, which is what the parent comment was all about.

I would love to be proven wrong, to see any reference that grc provides algorithmic benefit to boinc, as in "getting rewarded with grc is proof the provided solution for the requested scientific computation is correct", or even a little thing like storing the boinc participation statistics, but those are features of the boinc network independently from grc.

What grc provides to the scientific community is a weird incentive for monkey-brains: monkey brain sees grc number go up, monkey brain releases happy hormones. It is a mirror of the participation statistic on the blockchain, not because that makes sense, but because blockchain. Sure there is some theory that some monkey may give a monkey a banana for making their number go down and its number go up, but that transaction involves no scientific computation and is purely speculative.

I swear HN's discussions on anything Intel related are always bottom of the barrel. They've been very clear about their messaging over the past few years. They are currently spending large amounts of money on capital expenditures to ensure future competitiveness and that eats into profits. The lack of increased profits during this current chip shortage is not a surprise to anyone paying attention nor is it indicative of anything particularly catastrophic for Intel.

>Intel Corp expects its profit margin to drop this year and then be steady for several years as it invests in new technologies and factories to meet rising chip demand, but added it forecasts climbs from 2025.
