Sounds like a manufacturing or sourcing issue. I can only imagine Apple hasn't recalled or notified customer support to be on the lookout for this because Apple themselves isn't even aware of the issue. How would they know? Techs writing up these issues are probably attributing them all to user damage. Unless someone is actively looking for a noticeable uptick in user damage cases I doubt it even comes up.
I looked it up.

So about 75% of solar radiation reaches the ground. In the continental US, factoring in angle of the sun, average weather, night that comes to about 4-5KWh per day

In orbit you would have just 1.37KW X 24 hours (no weather, angle issues) which comes to about 33KWh per day. So that's 8-9X the collected energy per square meter in orbit vs ground level.

These folks https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/wireless-power-transmi...
estimate 89% efficiency from orbit to ground.

So we're then at around 30KWh effective.

What am I missing?
Ah, didn't know that, but you're right (just tried it)! That's cool. I ran into this issue around a year ago when my phone broke.
Maybe this is an urban legend, but:

Sinclair Research made early home computers, well known in the UK, not so much elsewhere. These were tricky to set up, and often returned as broken. To cut their support costs, supposedly Sinclair, on first receipt of a 'broken' computer would simply add a sticker and send it back, 'repaired'. Often the customer would get it working on this second attempt. Only when a computer was sent in with this sticker already applied, would they actually investigate to see if anything was wrong with it.
Let's not get into the debate about standards of living in the EU vs. the US, but doesn't all of this outline my original point, i.e. 3-9 cents per authentication being pretty on par with what companies seem to already be willing to pay for two-factor authentication (via SMS-OTP) globally?

+1 to this.

Apple has never admitted fault for their shoddy MagSafe 2 charger (and older Lightning) cable insulation, many of which have ended up disintegrating and spewing blue stuff all over my furniture.

I've had multiple cables flake over the years, and every time I bring one of the chargers to a Genius bar (so far: Australia, Japan, and Singapore), they've always fallen back to "policy" and blamed it on me for not taking care of it properly.

That's a strange experience because I thought Apple Store employees weren't paid on commission.
Yeah I'd rather use Keybase which has username / password than the disaster that Signal is right now. Especially when you have both Twitter and Twilio breaches, SS7 attacks, SIM swapping attacks, etc.

Keybase still works and for a simple messaging app does the job better than Signal or any other messaging app that requires a phone number. This is a total disaster.

> but nothing they were doing of late with Lumens was that exciting anyway (trying to become a crypto wallet like everyone and their mothers).

Just like Signal did, with their own private crypto wallet and cryptocurrency that they have been working suspiciously in the background for a year after being questioned.

> I can't (and wouldn't try to) speak for anyone else, but if you disable the PIN functionality[0], Signal doesn't upload the information you're talking about.

This is also incorrect.
If you opt out of setting a pin, Signal creates a pin for you and uses that to encrypt the data it uploads to their servers. Again, not your fault. Signal has gone out of their way to avoid answering direct questions about this in a plain way.

Wine is more like a re-implementation of windows Userland using a different kernel (and graphics libraries).

Since the hardware is all the same, there is nothing to emulate or compile.

Or from the other direction - windows NT contains a re-implementation of the win16 API. Is that an emulator?
Eh, this reads weird to me. So third party clients are "ignored," but things like Better Discord which modify the first party client are explicitly not kosher? I'd love for better clarification around this at some point honestly.
> which is the same effort as a package.json

Apart from the fact that you don't create package.json by writing "export * from" by hand.
But that's 20 lines of code that I don't have to worry about just to get to a zoom link faster.

> you cannot use other libc's on GNU/Linux the distro that uses glibc without some things not working

As the comment your replying to points out, you can statically link your libc requirements and work on any Linux distro under the sun.

You can also LD_PRELOAD any library you need, and also work on any Linux distro under the sun. This is effectively how games work on Windows too, they ship all their own libraries. Steam installs a specific copy of the VCREDIST any given game needs when you install the game.

If you are not releasing source code, it's unreasonable to think the ABIs you require will just be present on any random computer. Ship the code you need, it's not hard.
That really depends if you live in Iowa or Sumatra.
It was the same case with my MacBook. No water damage but the liquid damage indicator had tripped somehow. I was forced to pay for repairs.
I stopped by Sony phones because of the same issue. Sony Xperia Z-series phones would spontaneously develop serious screen cracks. I thought it was a fluke, but it happened over, and over, and over. The last Sony phone I bought was in a padded case in a padded bag when the screen cracked.

Similar forum threads later appeared.

It'd be interesting to know the root cause.
My wife had a MBP with support plan years ago. The track pad started failing and it wouldn't always click even after you felt it depress and was slowly getting worse and worse. I took it in and the guy basally said there was no problem and I was just not pressing hard enough or something... It was very noticeable after using it for a while... Anyway I ended up ordering a new track pad online and replaced it myself and of course it fixed the issue. Still bothers me today.
This is what we get when we give control to economists and sales people.
Yes, I know, but I don't think the chip is the reason for the cracking. I think it may be tolerances in the case.

Maybe they also started using a different, more brittle glass, with this generation. Maybe the stress has always been there, but didn't cause cracks, with the last type of glass.
Or they might say that it translates windows library and system calls.
It's not obvious to me how to estimate how much ETH should actually cost. A merge or triple halvening may move the price, but how do we know the current price of $1900 is even remotely reasonable? Is it even possible to measure without comparing it to itself or to other crypto coins?

It seems like the absolute price doesn't actually matter. Everyone is only paying attention to relative price changes. But if you look at the absolute price, why does a single BTC cost the same as a 2022 Toyota Prius?
How would Twilio know what portion of the outgoing SMS was auth codes?

Testing is a loss of time. It absorbs about 50% the workforce, and projects that don’t have it don’t necessarily suffer.

Also, ask an engineer whether tests are complete, and he’ll always tell you that we haven’t tested anything yet. You need a cutoff at one point.
Their argument:
They killed it because morons always kept going too close to it, placing them at lethal risk.

Their argument: Regarding moving it: The risk of it dying while moving it, or getting seriously hurt from the move outweighed chances of success.
"In computing, an emulator is hardware or software that enables one computer system (called the host) to behave like another computer system (called the guest)."

> It is due to anti-cheat. Whose fault is that? The developers refuse to support linux even if we meet them halfway.

Windows meets them all the way. Not having to deal with LSB, Glibc, different distros, etc.

> Windows "won" because it was there first and it's stayed there due to its anti-competitive behavior

Why does every pro-Linux statement devolve into an anti-Windows statement the moment it meets resistance.

If Linux is truly "better" for whatever useful meaning of that word there is, I cannot for the life of me understand why the invariant that Linux cannot actually be promoted on the desktop without tearing down Windows to do so.

My impression is these people are great learners and upgrade themselves to do what's required of them to grow the company - most importantly how to hire, empower and motivate talented people. We're (HNers I guess; assuming dev-focused mentality) bound to think it means reading the manual and cracking complex problems, but it's more towards prioritizing, figuring out who knows what and how to manage people.

I'm not an investor so this is all anecdata from going through YC and having a close friend get to 100Ms in funding. My friend has obv hired an amazing exec team, but like thousands of things, he learned how to do it by reading, asking for advice and asking for help. Early stage he figured out how to get a 'technical cofounder' - literally got on the phone with 100 engineers (got me to screen like 3-5 to get a gist of what I was looking for). Of course, I was only just one source: for everything he had to figure out/study he got input from many sources.

They learn, they figure out what's important enough for them to put their time/attention, they delegate to talented people. I guess the quote 'A players hire A players and B players hire C players' applies too. They can tell who's an A player by setting the bar high enough to their standard.

I think there wont be a straight answer to this question - people who figure it out make huge companies and a lot of money as a reward for cracking this puzzle. Re:groupon then on top of that you have a couple of dice rolling and if your number doesn't hit you're out.
I wouldn’t say it’s irrelevant but it does change the equation: when that article came out designing for 1024x768 or lower resolution was commonplace. Real-estate was at a premium but the extra width of a 1024 pixel display meant that there was a little more room for side-by-side placement of elements that would probably have vertically stacked before. There wasn’t a ton of room to work with so the guidelines were still predicated on knowing your users and their requirements.

I dislike the huge padding in the UI and the loss of transparency but more than that I'm annoyed that they removed things I used frequently like the separate wifi and mobile data toggles in the quick settings pulldown.

This is not a new idea, there was a management fad in the nineties around understanding higher order effects and how they applied to businesses. The book everyone manager had to read back then was "The Fifth discipline" by an MIT professor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fifth_Discipline

(It's actually a pretty interesting read, as far as management books go)
Aren’t the apps reproducible? Meaning, if the open source part does not match the binaries the it could be a canary for compromise.

Mind you, the last time I looked there are not alternate implementations of the signal protocol and even the usage of libsignald was frustrating due to continuous backwards compatibility breakage. I would love for a proper libpurple implementation.
Paradox isn't synonymous with contradiction. Some paradoxes are, or contain, logical contradictions (i.e. they effectively say both X and not X are true) but the term is much broader.

Some of the earliest paradoxes are Zeno's, and they were referred to by that term at the time. For example the paradox that an object that moves towards a point must first cover half the distance, and then half the remaining distance, then half of the remainder, etc. Since this is an infinite number of steps, Zeno playfully argued that motion is impossible. There's no logical contradiction there, just a way of pointing out something counterintuitive about reality and maths.

The average farm in the US is around 2 square kilometers. let say a railway road is about 10 meter across, and let say it goes through those 2 square kilometers. How much of that land is taken up by the railroad? 0.5%, leaving the farmer 99.5% to use for everything else. Railroad isn't generally that wide and thus don't use up a lot of land.

The biggest problem in those situation isn't that the actually land that get used, it is how the farmer get impacted by the rail road being there. If they got a lot of money for those 0.5% with no negative effect then naturally people would have no objection to sell that for huge profits.

I can't speak for your family members or the locations where they are involved, but I do know how much politics there is around where I live. There is a lot of resistance to place wind farms on farm fields, and farmers aren't exactly lining up to rent out their land (or at least not for the price people are willing to pay). Ocean farms are often cited as being easier to build because there is less resistance from land owners and local government.

One land location that does seem a bit easier for wind production are forests in mountain areas which is sparsely populated. The draw side is that the consumers isn't generally located there, so you get the situation where the best and easiest locations to install wind is also the worst location to utilize the production.

It seems that different people have vastly different use cases for phones.

If in distribution discussions Linux is name for the operating system and shell, downplaying the role of GNU, then it is also fair game to say here: Linux does not have a stable ABI because glibc changed.
Local residents do feel that way. They have no money, no education, no job prospects, and don't feel they get respect. The fact that their cultural values are also at odds with the "haves" (in their view) further cements the view. But in a very real policy and economic sense, they literally were abandoned when industry left. Wall Street and Tech zoomed on while their factories and mines closed with no recourse to be able to recover from the economic vacuum.

In January, HumlbeBundle removed Linux support from their Trove [1].

HumbleBundle support points out that it's not simple [2]:

> While it is entirely possible to install and run games and programs from the Linux GUI, implementation across distros can be wildly different. For this reason, this guide will explain how to install and launch games using the Terminal.

And, usually, only a small list of distributions are supported, like Ubuntu or Mint. For example, Bundle 9 [3].

All of the above seems to supports the "cumbersomeness argument for Linux games".

Doesn't everyone get notified when your verification status changes? Don't you need to rescan people's security numbers or whatever they call it? If this is truly a gripe you have couldn't signal also add some sort of delay to the re-verification process so that device resets take weeks to be trusted and with lots of warning and opportunities for both parties to disengage before any hostile actor takes over?

As far as I'm away, Signal is used by plenty of people who may be targeted by state agencies. Has there been even one "High value target apprehended because Signal" headline?

I don't know what the real reason is, what I said was just something that popped into my head. Another comment mentioned spam-prevention as a reason (by making it infeasibly expensive), and that actually makes more sense. Honestly, there probably isn't just one reason, but a cluster of tradeoffs.

IMHO, the number people who care deeply enough about the phone number thing to boycott Signal is vanishingly small; not even a rounding error. Sure they're loud on HN or maybe even Twitter, but giving tiny but loud minorities whatever they demand is bad policy.

$57 a month to maintain the connection? I think that's fair to be honest. Solar panel owners shouldn't be able to use the grid as a battery for free. That costs real hard cash to maintain. And a lot of it.

At present, solar panels users expect to be able to generate all the electricity they want on sunny days, sell the excess back to the utility for bill credits (at retail prices), and then spend the bill credits on cloudy days, or days with high energy demand.

Well this doesn't make sense for the utility. They have to maintain the grid and the more people that put up solar panels, the fewer people that are left paying for upkeep on hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure.

You can argue that it should be $37 instead of $57, but clearly it needs to be >$0
