> What's usually missing from these comparisons is how long people are actually using the phone and how they handle the battery

According to my phone, over the last 10 days I had an average screen time of 3h34m per day. I use it to communicate and to consume media while commuting. I charge it whenever it needs some juice, it does get to down to 10%-20% sometimes.

But honestly I don't see how my usage can hurt it so much. And if my usage is indeed what damages the battery so much, then that seems to be Apples issue, considering how I'm really not a poweruser or whatever.

What battery health does your phone have? I can't imagine that having a phone connected to a power source 95% of its lifetime can be especially good for the battery.
The problem of depression is that it makes incredibly difficult to do those things, getting exercise, eating better, sleeping well, anything that makes you feel better. That's why people use antidepressants, because they aren't well enough to start doing other things to help themselves.

Your advice ultimately boils down to "just don't be depressed" and that has never worked.
I've been pitching for a while hinged screens, like double laptop screen that unfolds a second same-size screen above the first. The fold seems like a nice touch, if this would come as a separate portable monitor I'd buy it in a pinch.
"The Gates Foundation is doing something, who did your comment help?"

I think they're comment is valid conversation.

The Gates Foundation is likely more interested in the company's impact in South America, or in being climate friendly. I don't see anything in article that actually makes the case for why these would help alleviate the housing shortage. Maybe the could, but the info on that isn't in the article.
Searching for 'Edgar Allen Poe -"The Raven"' does work as intended.

The search I printed was trying to omit some addresses (and I now realize quotes are not necessary and do not help for this specific case), but it did find a result with the term I was trying to avoid as a string.
Thank you for this succinct explanation, that’s pretty much exactly what I was aiming for! Would you be okay with me adapting the explanation for the README at some point?
Adaptive keyboards are actually more oriented towards beginners than advanced users. They optimize for feature discoverability (and coolness factor).

Physical keyboard is current optimum for text entry precisely because it is not adaptable, and that enables you to adapt to it. Without muscle memory you are much, much slower. When an advanced user wants to refresh page, they can instantly recall Ctrl+R combo and just press it, without glancing down and coordinating between hand and eye to tap the icon, and then verifying the tap was registered. With adaptable keyboards the advanced users lose all their edge.

That said, swiping is really nice way to enter English text on touchscreens. I still hate switching to numbers and special characters, or entering non-dictionary words, but it works unexpectedly good. I agree with you that more innovation is needed.
The GP is talking about the biggest problem that America has now: people can't afford homes.

The article it trying to hook the reader by promising to tell them about this problem. What follows is implicitly delivered as a solution to this problem.

GP is correctly pointing out that it's not a solution. They are further lamenting that the current solutions to the problem (earn little of commute a lot) are sub-optimal.

The Gates foundation is doing something, kudos to them, but they are unlikely to make a dent in solving this problem.
I am a big fan of renewable energy, and I think blockchain can have a big impact... but based on my current understanding:

If you still have big power plant, then you still need transmission line and everything linked to it. Those transmission lines could be smaller, but that is still a big cost...

With current technologies it is possible to make independent local micro-grids, mostly based on renewable energies... but:

1) The main energy people can produce by themselves is solar ; rooftop solar or small scale solar "farm" are much more expensive than utility scale solar

2) There is a potential for local biomass (for heat, electricity or both), but not available everywhere, often require some "big" equipment / organization, still some limited potential and relatively high price

3) Small scale wind is very expensive, and utility scale wind in rarely available locally. Same goes for hydro-power.

4) Solar and wind are intermittent, biomass can be seasonal... there is a need to manage the intermittence. Currently big grid with big interconnections help to "smooth" part of the intermittence, and grid scale investment can be cheaper. Dealing with is it only locally seems more challenging and expensive.

5) Automatic transaction, IA, and investment in local project does not need blockchain to work. I believe Blockchain can help to have a better "user experience" and be a bit more efficient, but at the margin. I believe (but am not a specialist) that if this does not work without blockchain, it won't work with blockchain.

I think there are interesting ideas in what you propose, but it needs more work and details to move forward
I agree, but I think the article had the reason, "Stable Funding".

The few profs I have run into over the years largest worry is getting grants. Thus the preoccupation with publications.

Where I work, it seems this trend is hitting commercial labs too, researchers are slowly being forced to "produce". Unless something changes, research for its own sake seems to be a rare thing, at least in the US.
You know that people own townhouses and apartments right? It’s not always just companies.

I don’t know about America but in Germany apartment buildings are often owned by the residents and they have to work together in a financial collective for certain things like roof repairs, city negotiations, fencing, etc. But then internally to their unit they are able to make many permanent alterations within limits.

I don’t list these constraints claiming them as benefits. No these are the hardships one must endure but the benefit is of course property ownership. The benefits of property ownership in general are well known, it’s primarily a matter of accessibility to those benefits that is being discussed.

I'd be surprised if depression turns out to have a singular cause or mechanism. It's simply a group of symptoms that often occur together.

The way we currently speak about depression is as if we labeled the combination of fever, coughing and sweating as "the hots". You'd expect to quickly find remedies like "Tylenol reduces symptoms of the hots", followed a decade later by papers "the hots not caused by Tylenol imbalance", with people contradicting it with "I can't live without Tylenol, it's as important to me as insulin for a diabetic". Both can be right, Tylenol just happens to reduce the symptoms without doing anything about the cause. Any actual cure you find would appear to only work for a small portion of patients. Not because it's ineffective, but because "the hots" isn't one distinct illness, but a symptom of many possible conditions, and you have to use different strategies to cure each one.
I see. Thanks for the correction!
I get what you're saying, but golf courses usually take up a lot of space that is used by a proportionally smaller group of people. Those other things you mention can be enjoyed by many many more people in a much denser fashion.

I definitely agree that golf courses are inefficient uses of land, but even if we built mid-density housing on all of them here, it wouldn't solve the problem. There are plenty of other low-density areas that need to be upzoned if we're going to solve anything.

It is and that's how I removed Facebook. But I'm not even going to even entertain the prospect of using a device that once had TikTok installed on it. I've been using Samsung phones for over a decade now, I think it's time for a change.

Please show me this data from any other manufacturer... take Apple, do they put out how many drops they test their latest iPhone, the one that they advertise doesn't need a cover? The standard deviation, Bell curve?

Nobody cares about this - what people care about is: What happens when this breaks ? If Asus offers good warranty on it, why does it matter when it breaks??
One time, when my current phone at the time, I bought an flagship android device. It came with a fortnight installer I couldn't remove. I returned it the same day...

Ok, not just because of fortnight, also because disabling all google crap basically bricked it & their icons where still everywhere and when you accidentally clicked it, it take you deep into the settings to enable it. Sure, you can install a custom rom etc, but I dont' want to. I just want a phone with a few apps and no spyware. Or fortnight installersftm ;)
> You had homeless people because you didn't build enough housing

Ehh I think it has just a _little_ bit more to do with it than just “lack of housing.” If you think the only thing keeping the homeless guy who shits on the sidewalk and shoots up heroin in broad daylight from being a functioning member of society is a house, you are being quite naive.

San Francisco’s housing costs don’t help, but people waaaay underestimate just how much having a permissive attitude towards “the homeless lifestyle” (for lack of a better term) plays a part in attracting people who are incapable of living within the margins of society.
> Research suggests antidepressants work only a bit better than placebos

That really undermine the credibility of that article. They work extremely well for some people. Others might need to try several before they find one that works. And a minority might not be able to find one that works (I don't know, I'm not a professional).

Another anecdotal evidence: I started taking anti-depressants 1.5 months ago, and after the acclimating period (which was hell for me, I wish I had been better warned, I had to take a week off), it's a night and day difference on how my brain works.

My SO had the exact same experience: it changed her life, from a miserable struggle every day to a life she can enjoy.

If this article makes you reconsider taking anti-depressants or not, please talk to a healthcare professional instead.

Problem with traditional drilling is that your drill has to contact with hot rocks. With gyrotron, it doesn't have to. If you pump lot's of water down to your electronics, it can be used to cool electronics, then gyrotron, then be dumped outside head where it flashes into steam (thanks to megawatts of energy that is melting rocks already) and helps to evacuate ash while also cooling it and preventing recondensation on walls of already drilled tube. Walls will still be glassy because they were just melted.
Everything in your brain is made up of chemicals though. Even if one’s depression is caused by external factors (as opposed to some kind of inherent or congenital chemical imbalance), modifying the chemical state of your brain can still possibly address the depression.

I’ve been on SSRIs for years — I’ve bounced back and forth on my view of depression. I think my brain is likely prone to respond to certain stressors in a depressive way, due to a combination of genetics and years of conditioning/“practice”. It seems possible to me that I could learn, via a combination of things like therapy and meditation, to notice and control my brain’s reaction to those stressors. But at the same time, “chemical interventions” like SSRIs have also seemed to help.
It blows my mind that companies have the resources to sink into "innovations" like this that are just so far out that they are sure to fail. The mere sight of this stresses me out with how fragile it looks, and how clumsy it would be to use
Yeah, I'm interested in what "cement like" actually means. It's possible it might not support venere or siding depending on its properties. Hard to say though since their site is down, so I can't get more info.
> "How do you portably printf() an integer type that you don’t (and can’t) know the size of"

"Portably" across what? You need to narrow down the problem space and better define it.

If it's portably across a myriad of processor architectures, hardware profiles and operating systems then you would need to take the intermediate representation route (like Java). There's very little else that can be done in the face of infinite, non-compatible ABIs at every layer.
No, you are not talking about the institution here.
Lex just used the institution as a platform to self-promote
himself. Nothing intrinsically wrong with this, but Lex
isn't the most sophisticated brain at MIT.

There are smarter people there, less loquacious, but more powerful.
Then again, MIT also has evil people in power,
like previous MIT Chancellor Eric Grimson, who killed Aaron Schwartz
and betrayed the principles of the institution by secretly passing information on to the secret service. Grimson was still able to hold on to a title of Chancellor that pays him more than 400K USD per year!!! INSANE!

You are talking about Stephen Wolfram and his pothole self promoting
things. Wolfram is also a very dangerous individual. he is feeding off ignorance, and corrupting young minds.
Touch keyboards don't sound very liberating. I think experienced/professional users will be an especially bad fit for this. Imagine having to constantly look down at the keyboard to see what contextual options are available. It's like getting a new keyboard and having to get used to a different layout, except it's forever. Say goodbye to your flow state, hope you haven't gotten used to it.

That said, this laptop seems to include a physical keyboard, so maybe it's not that bad. I hope manufacturers keep experimenting with computer form factors, but preferably sane, human-centric ones.
Mind sharing which one you have please? I’d like to drop one in my laptop bag sometimes.
When you factor in climate change and rising sea levels, London is going to become unsustainable in the next 100-200 years. The Thames Barrier already needs replacing with a bigger structure, or it will become too small to cope sometime in the late 21st century. Possibly sooner than that if warming trends continue to accelerate.

While I appreciate that investment in London needs to happen to solve issues now, the UK should be pivoting more investment to its regional cities that are in more sustainable locations, so that the UK is prepared for when London eventually succumbs to the tides.
I don't understand why your comment is being downvoted. Downvotes shouldn't be used as a form of simple disagreement. I made a simple question, you gave it a simple answer.
It's great to compete with a netgear or something but it is still software routing. A board that uses fpga or something for a switch fabric would be worth the money to get all that nice pps.
Oh good grief. Titanium ore is literally dirt cheap. Titanium has been pricey because of how it's made from the ore, not because the ore is scarce. Titanium is the 9th most abundant element in the Earth's crust.

I really didn't want to do this, but I bit the bullet and bought M1 MacBook Pro.
Oh, having previously worked on XPS 15, this laptop is like next level in terms of pretty much everything.
I feel like manufacturers putting Intel or (to an extent) AMD processor in any laptop just waste their time. Sure there will be people who will buy it (who don't know about M1/M2), but it's like buying a legacy technology for premium price.
So while the folding screen looks impressive, I can't help but think it is just an expensive gimmick.
Rather than churning very much the same laptops year on year I wish manufacturers spent some time on designing a new CPU if Intel and AMD can't keep up or trying to license the CPU tech from Apple.
Between today and the hey day of places like Bell Labs there is one fundamental difference:

Where are the true believers?

Let's use a HN reader as our baseline. You're like much smarter than the average. Do you want to woek incredibly hard, long, focused hours building another IP monopoly for somebody who's already OP?
What if they reward you with a pat on the back?
Is that personally appealing? Is there anyone or entity you love enough to slave under?

I posit the difference in mentality is massive.

A new Bell Labs would need to incenticize the people actually creating value, by "allowing" them to retain real stake in what they own.
I conflated two separate issues:

1. Microsoft was held accountable and forced to stop making OEMs pay Windows licenses for computers that didn’t ship with Windows.

As an aside, there is no “Windows tax”. OEMs make more than enough by bundling third party crapware it more than pays for Windows. But third party OSs - especially Linux was never going to be big on the desktop without third party commercial support. The only Unix[1] operating system that has ever gained any traction on the desktop is MacOS and Apple makes sure they bend over backwards to keep Microsoft and Adobe happy.

I sold IBM Aptivas briefly in the 90s that came with OS/2 at Radio Shack. They were not going to overtake the world.

2. As far as “bundling” in 2022, would you suggest any platform come without a browser? Macs, Windows, ChromeOS computers, iOS and Android all come with browsers. What would the consumer experience be like if all platforms just came with an empty desktop and they had to download everything?

[1] yes MacOS is real certified Unix.
How is the dispute resolution process different with a cheque vs other forms of payment? What do you have to put in the note line that makes this legal requirement? and how is this different than a regular sales contract? I don't know what you would buy for $5k+ that doesn't already have some sort of sales contract which would be legally binding. It's not like you can show up to a dealership with $20k in cash and just drive a car off the lot without signing anything.
Using A Very Old Machine
If you don't mind selling your soul to the devil, dell have a range that support linux.

A newer brand that will run linux is the framework laptop that's my personal recommendation.

As for the matte screen you can buy films for both of those that will make the screen matte. Here is the ones for the framework:

You should note that mat screens generally sacrifice contrast and colour saturation.

I suspect you won't be happy with any of this though as most hn commenters are extremely picky about these sorts of things.
UEFI bootloader, PoE support, and generally good Linux driver experience out of the box. Whether that's enough is highly dependent on the user.

If you have any background on the Gates Foundation it should be easily implied. If not, here's a quote. Also, the article talks about low cost housing in South America. Housing is another topic the gates foundation typically focuses on.

The idea is this:

1. The invention works, it WILL be built and sold, and you know how much revenue potential this means.

2. HN readers (even YCombinator as a VC) should be given a shot at "the next big thing".

3. If you guys really insist in not wanting to be part of this, then so be it. Don't be too hard on yourself in a few months, though.
I’m glad you enjoy it!

If it’s not the actual design goals that work for you, it might also just be the fact that even the enhanced contrast versions are overall relatively low contrast compared to many other themes. Often times “just enough” can be more pleasing than maximum contrast.
