You're pretending it doesn't exist at all, when in fact the Fourth Amendment provides enormous, common protection - which some government agents rarely violate (leading you to claim the "government" ignores it entirely, which is false).

The Fouth Amendment is not only still fully valid, it continues to hold up extraordinarily well when it comes to protecting you in a court of law.
I was a big fan and supporter of Android all the way from version 2.2 up to version 8. The final straw was when my brand new 800 dollar motorola phone, which was owned by google at the time stopped getting updates barely a year after I bought it. I also noticed that everything I liked about Android was slowly being stripped away, and Apple was slowly adding all the things I felt were missing. Still not the biggest fan of the fact that I have no headphone jack, but I'm still getting updates on my now 4 year old iphone, it didn't cost me any more than my last android did, and overall it just works so much better for me. Not everything is due to status symbols and affordability
The Devil you know
I'm with you. Over the years Gnome pushed me away with the ambitious but undesired UX.

It reminded me of M$ forcing Windows 8 tiles.

I'm just happy that linux gives me plenty of options for distros and desktops. I've never even considered gnome a problem because I just don't use it.
One big thing that gnome did wrong is empty top bar. So much space wasted. Should be task bar instead.
Easy to abuse someone who's dead.
My favourite XKCD "Workflow" [0] is very relevant here.

Unfortunately, because people function that way, there's a lot of pain ahead for those to learn to rely of obscure uses of software. Sooner or later those pathways are dropped, if for no other reason than cutting down on maintenance costs.

Yes, this is exactly what drove me to switch.
I don’t want the vast majority of Google apps on my android phone, but I can’t remove them. It’s the same on both platforms.
Exactly. If you keep the phone two or three years, a handset costs a buck or two per day and that's something just about everybody can afford if it's something they want.
oops... I interpreted the claim, admittedly bizarrely, as something like:

fit N(u, s) to {(x, y)...} then m will lie u+-s

rather than, def. s^2 = E[X^2] - E[X]^2
Building cost-effective AWS Step Functions workflows
I've had many androids and iphones throughout the years (I think starting 2010), and i often switching from android to iphone and back. Even when I had the higher end devices like google pixel it just wasn't as high quality as the iphones.
Hey HN, I’ve been working on Arda ever since becoming frustrated with the poor user experience of using XR to replace my laptop, yet, having complete conviction of its role as a major computing platform.

So, we started building something that we wanted to use day-to-day without the need for slow controllers, uncomfortable headsets designed for gaming, or limited ecosystems. We have since been obsessed with making the user experience better and faster and after lots of experimentation, we’re happy to be announcing the Arda I - a device that makes working in XR feel like magic.

We’re starting off by focusing on the user interface and input mechanism, hence why we’re taking off-the-shelf HMDs and adapting them for productive work (as opposed to the core gaming use case).

We’ve bootstrapped everything so far and have just opened up reservations to accelerate progress and enable our backers to replace their conventional PCs with more capable XR systems. We expect units to ship retailing at around $/£/€1500 no earlier than Q1 2023, with priority given to customers with reservations.

We’d love feedback on all fronts and I’m happy to answer any questions (technical or otherwise) about the project.

If you’re interested in helping build the future computing platform (as a cofounder, team or community member) pls reach out! Our goal is to make XR computing better and faster to use than conventional PCs. I think we’re pretty close - turning this into a fairly niche hobbyist past-time to a really useful tool for everyone. Longer-term, I think this is the correct evolutionary path towards building brain-computer interfaces, but thats for a future convo :).
That was intentional, though.
Switched from Pixel 2 to iPhone Pro Max 13 a few months ago. I refer to it as my gilded preschool. The basic quality is phenomenal, but there are so many things I had done to customize my Android to my tastes that I can't do on my iPhone. It's been a very mixed bag for me.
That is also one of failure modes of translation, sometimes referred to as "engrish". Even human translators can't avoid this type of "mistakes", there just never are full context in texts.

And you can sell an iPhone a year or two later for more than the Android phone, making it less expensive overall.
Would you believe that it took me 1-2 years to figure that out? I swiped that little arrow awkwardly with my mouse for 1-2 years, before I accidentally hit a key to get that login screen. I think the issue was that I'm sitting in front of a graphical user interface, which to me means using a mouse. It never occurred to me that I had to hit a key on a keyboard to get a login screen on a graphical user interface.

I think that's when I cursed at GNOME, blew it away, and installed MATE.
Two of our neighbouring countries has an AK47 on their national flag (Zimbabwe/Mozambique).

If you knew about their tortured path to emancipation for the black majority and to statehood from colonialism then it makes sense why it is so.

The same for my country - things are nuanced - hammer and sickle is hardly as offensive and can be placed in the same category as the Nazi symbol it does not represent the misguided Mao (killing of sparrows led to locusts = failed harvests) and the nutcases that was Stalin/Beira.
I think this article is more of a tongue in cheek rant against the culture of BS artists vs measured takedown against extroverts.
The pace of the OS development around Stable Diffusion is nothing but mindblowing, and I can't wait to see what we'll be able to to do in just 6 months from now.

Wait, there are actual things, called "doorstoppers", that are designed to work exactly as door stoppers and have no other discernible function? Do they by any chance look anything like paperweights?

Probably important to note that the House of Commons is on recess (as the article does) so this is not exactly storming the Parliament bulding and breaking into a full house.
To add to this - I have a dedicated sound card on my desktop - it lives inside the USB tiny dongle of my gaming headset and makes it emulate surround sound a little bit better. My two tinny tiny speakers are connected to the onboard audio output.
Anything I watch, I watch on the TV, or via a bluetooth headset on the phone or tablet.
Anything I listen to, I listen to on the phone via aforementioned bluetooth headset, or the nice big non-mobile bluetooth speaker.

I USED to have two powerful and rather higher quality speakers attached to a
creative card back in the day when I did all that with the PC though.
I'm attached to the ecosystem, like watch, home hub, use Google One, Photos, etc. I was very close to switch to Apple, but picked a Samsung S series phone which is the first Android device that is actually polished. Imo Google made a mistake by giving too much freedom to manufacturers, they are really bad at making decent consumer devices and ditch their half baked product right after release. PC bussines model like in 90s doesn't work for phones.
It warms my heart to see continued protests by groups like Extinction Rebellion and Direct Action Everywhere. Nonviolent, disruptive action is a powerful force with such rich history. On reddit when this group protested at the Louvre by gluing themselves to well known landscapes the comments were full of vitriol, which were difficult to determine as being genuine or representative of actual general feelings towards such protests.

I hope we all see these illegal disruptions as the important work they are.

I think I'm at the length limit so let me add: it's an auction. A contest, a betrayal contest.

When everyone goes along with the abuse, the amount of abuse goes up. Instantly. Not even overnight, like 8AM to 9AM. The only thing that protected the dignity of Chileans was--for a long time--the resistance, counter-terrorist (officially designated as such by the President in the final radio address, a message that carries official weight, final instructions from a shrink in fact--he researched psychiatry--but more of like a psych, a real attendant of the soul. And as such his suicide was unconditionally heroic, not cowardly by any means. The Chilean left tiptoes around this, uh-uh. Suicide is legitimate under the threat of torture. Better to die than betray. The other option was in fact to cooperate, get threatened all the time by everyone, suck up to the worst people on earth, and the biggest thing--bid up the betrayal contest, and betray. Treason. Betrayal. The absolute worst, the lowest circle of Hell. I've been told by many doctors I'm stupid to think such a thing, for real, like in practice not on film in real life. But it's not so strange. Some people are smart, they cooperate. Some people are dumb, they don't. But don't think you're so smart, if it hadn't been me it would have been up to you, could you have done what I did?

I actually think you could in fact. Everyone, the instant you realize the betrayal contest is a set-up, and they capture you--you have a limit too, believe it or not. It will come as a total surprise, but you can only take so much. At some point, there are conditions (which is what this experiment is, measuring those conditions to get as close to them as possible) under which you physically couldn't submit (shrinks unanimously agree to the contrary). Maximum suffering with no consequences, science applied to the mind. Your dignity is defined by your courage. At any rate the Chilean Idealists--especially the detenidos desaparecidos (not going to translate that)--those guys stuck up to torture, that's why they erased all traces of them. Didn't want to see how much a man can take and still not cooperate. José María Sepúlveda. They erased the really dangerous ones, the ones who were totally right and totally wronged, they guys who bit and shit and nobody wanted to be assigned to torture. And three thousand of them, tres mil, under those specific conditions of erasure. Three thousand really dangerous men and women, on a totally different level than anything I've ever done or been through. I went in like a lot of people, them to much worse than me, comparatively speaking my only merit was making it out. Live to tell the tale, nothing more.

Them? Just wow.
The US (and CA) runs on 240V as well, it's just split in half for smaller appliances. See requisite Technology Connections video:

My stove and clothes dryer are certainly not 120V.
generalizing from one android phone is unfair. there are a gazillion phones, some with better camera than iphones.
You can try it on Google Colab [1] to get started.

There are quite a few tutorials for getting started with SD.[2] They tend to explain how to install it on your CPU, but some also explain how to build your own instance on Google Colab . I know this one in Spanish[2], and you can look for more. [3]

I think, dont know, they used it so the body would absorb glucose right after a workout instead of breaking down muscle. But fat storage is part of that too. I suspect because they are using the energy that isnt a concern. But super dangerous and in most cases outside body building it leads to weight free gain. It is often difficult for type1 diabetics to lose weight and some go down another dangerous path of reducing their insulin without increasing their sensitivity.
> However is that desirable?

It means (and this has been repeatedly demonstrated) that there is less of it overall. So: yes.
Yeah. I switched to iPhone late last year, since Apple is the only manufacturer that builds a phone that fits in the human hand. I'm pretty blown away by how bad iOS is compared to Android. Way fewer features, many more bugs, less customizable. Android is a far better software experience, but Apple is my only choice for a reasonably sized phone. Sucks.
From experience (not as a donor but as someone familiar with nonprofits) if you donate enough,you can get it to fund specific programs. But, I would just email them, I am sure if they hear enough they'll be happy to set up a dedicated "privacy" or "transparency" initiatives.
Thank you for this. I've been looking for something like this for quick audio editing.
The UK, where WhatsApp is standard, has iOS in the lead. Radio1 now just give their WhatsApp number and not the sms option. Wealth/affordability are relevant.

There's a 'waterfall' effect of status signals. The upper class uses signal A to differentiate themselves from the middle class; the middle class catches on, and starts using signal A to imitate the upper class; the upper class moves on to signal B, to differentiate themselves from the middle class; the lower class use signal A to imitate the middle class; the middle class uses B to differentiate themselves from the lower class and imitate the upper class; from there, it cycles.

ABA->BAB->ABA

The upper class aren't worried about being mistaken for the lower class; that's why 'ghetto chic' exists, and why Zuckerberg wore hoodies. Conspicuous adoption of low-class signals can be a signal of high-class- for a while, till the rest of the culture catches up.

Usual caveats of 'this is a simplified model' etc.
No. But there’s also no “real” reasons to buy Android instead either. It’s literally just a matter of personal preference
To be fair Samsung is pushing the worst possible android experience consistently since they make phones.

Their android flavor is nothing like stock android, buggy and gets barely updated. The phones to expensive for the actual build quality.

Samsung is just the most ugly side of Android. A pixel or even a Xiaomi that ship with stock and allow removing unwanted apps without hacks is not even compareable.
How does mamba (and conda-forge) fare with respect to these metrics ?
nah, physics just describes processes from reality.

They mandates a bunch of things, more than just payment services. It also includes app stores, at least according to multiple reports, but linking to the specific article that includes app store freedom seems hard to me.

I think this explains a lot of the political firestorm that has happened as academic discussions of things like racism have entered the public sphere. “Institutional racism,” “implicit bias,” and a bunch of other things that have technical definitions are just introduced to the common lexicon to people who are already not going to be highly receptive to this sort of thing, and it often adds more heat than light.
> they are not complaining about safety. They are complaining about [not having extra equipment]

This is a strange dichotomy. Of course they are complaining about corner cutting on both safety and tools.
Take a random sample of 100 elements. Calculate the median from them.
Yeah, hard same. I live and work on a Mac, and I have since just before the switch to OS X in 2001.

You definitely DO have to turn off the "app store only" default, but that's completely trivial (and is a sensible default for less technical users).

I haven't built anything from source in a long time, but I'd expect that works fine, too.
> m$ is buying a significant part of the game publishers and game dev studios.

Hence why it is unsurprising in the UK regulator's view that since this is a horizontal integration of lots of games studios all reporting directly to Microsoft, it is getting more anti-competitive; which will also upset the FTC, depending on the outcome of the UK's investigation.

And no I also don't support this even if it came from Sony or Nintendo buying up control of larger game studios.

> sony will suffer A LOT to keep up, and I don't know if nintendo even with their zelda and mario will be able to keep their own platform for a long time.

No they won't.

Sony and Nintendo are doing just fine with their hundreds of billions between them and are still acquiring companies that are unrelated to their business. That is the difference.

Both have been around longer than Microsoft has. So they are fine.
Thanks for sharing the experience.

This is effectively what younger generations that praise C don't get, the kind of tricks that most game developer had to do 20 - 30 years ago in home computers and game consoles, given the bad quality of C compilers in regards to code generation.
I don't get what's wrong with running a social media company that caters towards older people. Not everything has to be geared for 15-35 year olds. Presumably younger people will age into this product so it's not like the user base will literally die off. For instance, once you have a kid and people start using facebook to coordinate and communicate, you're kind of forced on it. As more people you know are on it, you're more likely to engage. If anything, the younger crowd is more ephemeral and likely to move on.

I get that advertisers pay more to target a younger audience, but that's fine. It's offset by less competition in the space targeting older people
Yeah, it was a couple of years ago. I paid 30k for 12.8 KW system, including the electrical panel(which I had to upgrade for 2k). There was a federal rebate of 26% on top of that.
Some don't have an ideal roof layout (which can easily double costs). Even more so, trees can sometimes be in the way, which can be even more inhibiting. 2-3x cost can still see an ROI, but when you get into 5-10x cost things tend to break down.

Check out Google's "Project Sunroof" to see.
It's probably that using an Android device remains an extremely poor experience. I was an early adopter, a root mod developer, and an open source believer. Even I got tired of hoping for the experience to rival iOS "next year" after 5 years or so.

There's really nothing clever going on. People prefer good products over less good ones.
> No, you were trying to disprove "a lot of people ... intentionally spread misinformation with the sole goal to demonize Russia as much as possible" and were caught spreading misinformation.

They rape, torture and commit genocide. Just because there was one instance of someone being fired doesn't make everything said after false, theres other accounts of child rape too.

For example this article was posted on the 21st of august - https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-08-21/russia...
> I attribute most of this to iMessage and the associated lock-in effect.

It would be nice to see some evidence of this. It seems less complicated to me.

Particularly among young people, Android phones have a reputation for being trash, and they are the equivalent of my generation's store brand shoes.
There are zero Android phones that are usable one-handed. Apple makes two such models. I strongly prefer Android as an operating system, but if I can't physically use the phone, it's useless to me. So I'm on iPhone.
None. We have a "Fossil Fuels Party" and a "Renewables Party."

Searching for backend role. Will be happy to work on tech products. Planning on learning other technologies/tools - JS/React | C, Rust or Elixir.
I went with a single monitor, a 34" curved ultrawide (3440x1440). Nearly triple (ish), more than dual monitor for sure and I love it. The price difference to go for the 38"(3840x1440?) was nearly triple the cost and was no worth it for me for the extra 400 pixels, though it would have allowed for 3 windows at the size I usually keep them at.
Ask HN: Which DB internals to study more to become expert in DBs overall??
I started my career as a Network Technician/Engineer (5 years), then moved to Linux Administration (5 years), then DevOps/SRE (8 years). Note that I never went to college and never had any formal CS education, learned all by myself, and hence have serious gaps in my knowledge in CS.

During my stint as a Linux admin and as an SRE, I came to the realization that Databases seems to be a good field to dive deep in since no matter where I work and in what ever technical environment, the DB beast will always influence things of the design and working of it (correct me if I am wrong here).

Initially I studied MySQL, then Hadoop a bit, then Kafka (not exactly a database system). Have worked on Redis, Cassandra and Yugabyte also. Studying these I also realized that each differs a lot at times, each meant for a different purpose, and share very little internals with each other.

If I want to continue studying and building my knowledge in databases, what should be the right path for me. Right now I am reading the Codd paper, plan to finish the Database Internals book, followed by DDIA. What else should I study? Can you all please recommend me some must read papers for databases (SQL/NoSQL both), books, and database technologies to follow (via mailing lists etc)? Would reading the complete official documentation of other databases be enough too or should I deep dive into all of them?

I really want to be an expert in Database, and have no limit on the time frame. Am just 36 now and have lot of years of my life to devote to this study and become knowledgeable. Looking for your expertise, knowledge and valuable experience to guide me.
