If anything I see increased convergence between connectivity methods not any one technology supplanting another. Making your service plan able to connect the user from Wi-Fi + Celluar + Satellite when they are indoors, in a dense area, or far away will be able to deliver a far greater experience than locking into any single technology both in coverage and performance.

We already see this kind of thing already with T-Mobile + Starlink, Home internet providers bundling phone plans and allowing you to roam to other networks, traditional cellphone providers hopping on board Wi-Fi calling support, and Apple + Globalstar.
photovoltaics is entirely solid-state.
Any thread on copilot always seems to get a lot of comments about how it makes dumb mistakes. I guess I'm used to Intellisense etc making dumb suggestions all the time? I don't dwell on it for a second, either the computer makes a good suggestion that was what I was about to do and I accept the suggestion, or it doesn't and I don't accept it. I'm certainly not going to sit there and stew over how dumb it was to suggest such a thing, it's a damn computer!

Cognitive load is massively decreased, I don't have to push much on the working memory stack to do small utility functions, they just write themselves now (especially if I write the type signature first). I can spend a lot more of my time at the middle level of abstraction, and keep moving.
Discrimination is the entire point of the hiring process. Why else are you sorting people into Myers-Briggs categories? Are you sending nobody home? What we're arguing about isn't whether you're discriminating but what tool you're using to discriminate. Is craniometry not discriminatory just because it's objective?

the relevant question is whether astrology for nerds is better than human judgement just because the former is perceived as impersonal.
the announcement says that the SOS feature is only available for free for 2 years after purchase. I am speculating that Apple will bill customers directly for satellite feature subscriptions.
Ask yourself the same thing: how can you possibly know that nobody voluntarily chooses euthanasia?
> Literally no one will sell you an eSim contract for just few days.

T-Mobile definitely will (I mean, you pay for x GB and minutes and it lasts a month, just like most prepaid setups). Just requires a download of their app -- I use it when I'm traveling to the states (my carrier in NZ uses a physical SIM).
> the heat is used to boil water which makes large turbines spin and produce energy

I believe the containers would have to be really large.

Also, if we have to continue boiling water at scale, we might reach water crisis some day. Although, it'd take very long time.
Does anyone know how do scientists measure such high temperatures?

I doubt a regular thermometer will scale at such levels.
We had the same issue today. Isolated several variables and confirmed it only happens when caching Netlify sites through Cloudflare. It replaced not only our CSS file, but all cached assets included our homepage, images, videos, .js files... Took down our entire site and the only way to fix was completely disabling caching through Cloudflare. Seems like to me that it is a Netlify issue that is responding incorrectly specifically to CF's servers, but it's also possible it's a Cloudflare issue. We literally just moved our entire site over to a backup server temporarily until we can get it figured out.
> looking at the documentation, the only thing I can think is that it seems awfully complex

can you give an example of the added complexity (other than the dependency on ansible script language itself)? For example you mention "access to credentials" which is one of the complexity points.
Yes. It seems that capitalism is suffering from a particularly unfortunate case of Goodhart's law [0]:

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"

Capitalism is founded upon the idea that the amount the market is willing to pay for something is a good measure of its true value. Which used to be a pretty good measure (and to an extent still is - for now). But deregulation has increased our dependence on this measure, which in turn has lead to an increase in it is being gamed. And over time an increasing share of financially successful businesses are those that exploit failures in the metric rather than those providing genuine value.

I must be extra lucky because I receive calls from all over the US and beyond. Just yesterday I received one from Brazil.
Has there been long races with wind-shield on bike. Not windshields per se but just something to increase air penetration.
Honest question: how can folks justify spending $250+tax on a device that in just a year or two of significant usage will not be usable anymore due to degraded battery?

I was gifted a pair and after two years the battery lasts less than one hour in playback mode, and just a few minutes in call mode. What a disappointment. Am I expected to spend another $280?!

I also do not want to spend $50+ for a third party battery replacement. At least with the iPhone I can buy one, use it for 6 years and change the battery a couple times, making it a good purchase.
Yes by all means deploy it but by no means is it a strategic solution.
"Leaders" of large groups of people throughout history with the incumbent power of their present day have routinely made rules against technology of the day that went on to become relatively cheap and ubiquitous through many populations.

Such things people may not even consider technology today... that most likely were used in the vices of those days long past just as much as what newer tech is used and abused for by certain people.

At some point the cost to regulate, police and ban far exceeds the cost of each instance of usage of such tech. Sure, it hurts those who face the wrath of the incumbent powers head on, but it really doesn't matter long term.
BlueCruise is not free forever. They’re past that hurdle.

To be fair, that requires constant road updates and scanning, so there is a very real cost to them.
The IRS system that generates CP-2000 letters has screwed up majorly every year that I have filed in the last 3 years. The IRS received 1099s in each year that my wife and I did not remember having issued for us, all for less than $5.

What is crazy about the system is that every one of those years, I have been asked to pay the same amount of money (roughly $2000 extra), but the mistakes change each time. Each time, I have sent a very kind letter to the IRS telling them, "no, I did this correctly," and the IRS agreed. It failed to account for cost basis on RSUs from an employer. It failed to account for long-dated options expiring worthless. It failed to account for long term capital gains being long term.

It's hard to avoid drawing the cynical conclusion here, that the IRS each time attempts to extract a payment that is slightly less than the cost of having a lawyer or accountant deal with them. I don't want this kind of system sending out a tax bill to me that I have to contest, because:

1. It will almost certainly not do the accounting that minimizes each person's burden. The US tax code is long and full of terrors.

2. Most people will just accept the result, regardless of the fact that it will cost them thousands in extra taxation.

3. People that don't accept the result will likely be flagged for future audits, and will likely face a lot more scrutiny. In the previous system where everyone has to file, there are a lot more targets.

This is an utterly self-serving rationale, but I don't want this system.
Yes.

(said tongue in cheek, but the confusion is so often carefully maintained that...)
Babylon 5 was the shining star of 90s television sci-fi. DS9 was the closest to B5 in terms of scope and structure but it just couldn't hold a candle to it. TNG was much too different from B5 so you can't really compare them both (apples and oranges).
The 2nd half of the season 2 was good (great even). ...but sadly it lost too many fans because of the bad first season and first half of the 2nd season.

Excellent soundtrack though.
Is it public? I don't see a history attached to posts.
I see this leading to a huge spike in the prevalence of SIM-swapping scams. I can’t remember the last time I needed to have my carrier move my number from one SIM card to another, but if this becomes the norm I’ll need to ask them do it for me every time I get a new phone. Or am I missing something?
If that one is someone you love, it's enough to be a miracle
I honestly think this is one area which should be nationalised rather than left to the private sector. Yes, the investment will be massive, on the trillions scale. But:

a) Once it's done, you're pretty much self sufficient energy wise. Sure, you may need the raw materials from other countries to make panels, turbines and batteries. But once you've achieved a 100% renewable clean energy grid, you're getting a fairly decent lifespan out of everything so you're not going to be as subjected to the whims of the market like most of Europe is experiencing with gas. The market should generally be more stable.

b) Once your citizens have free energy, they have a massive chunk of disposable cash they were once spending energy. They will spend that or invest it: and both general spending and investing are taxed at higher rates than fuel spending (5% VAT on fuel spending in UK compared to 20% general VAT rate). Yes that is a massive loan for the government to put on the books, but they will probably get it back much quicker than expected.
I have had the crackling issue twice, and Apple twice replaced them for free (actual free) without having to leave my home.
a Garmin Fenix is $700, the Ultra is $800
This 100%.

I love Zig. It's built on such a better foundation than any of its competitors, old or new. I've never been happier or more productive doing systems programming.

But the "no warnings" philosophy alienates developers and seriously hurts adoption. It's almost tragic that a language so impressive is going to die on this hill.
> Eliminate capital gains tax

This would both:

1. Reward people who piggy back on the productivity and growth of the economy.

2. Punish those who are the actual backbone of the economy.

It doesn't sound like a strong moral foundation to me.
Have you looked at who you are replying to?
Come on, burying side loading in a setting and having a giant red warning is good enough to keep the vast majority of users out of using it. No reason they can't offer that technically.
Rolling resistance of vehicles with rubber tires is an order of magnitude worse than steel wheels of a train. Steel wheels are the key reason why trains are so efficient.
Agreed but unfortunately the CW has a very common denominator amongst the content it produces and Babylon 5 does not fit that mold in my mind. Think 23 episodes a season, the entire main cast young adults 18-23 with maybe a few adults as supporting cast, and lots of screen time dedicated to “shipping” different romance scenarios.

I enjoyed Arrow and early seasons of Flash despite being well well past their target demographic but I’m not sure how well this show will in if it sticks to the CW formula.
That is a very good question and I don't know the answer, but if you want to go source code spelunking, you can probably find the answer on https://opensource.apple.com/
It’s the A13 chip from the iPhone 11, not A11. That one Qualcomm has finally caught up to.
I remain skeptical. One example:

"McCarley and Carskadon (1983) replicated these findings and demonstrated that across a 5-week test-retest interval, 50% of the participants received a different classification on one or more of
the scales."

All of those patents expired a long time ago
globalstar uses LEO satellites which are in constant motion, there is no way that you must point at them to make these features work
Many tax filers are getting refunds from withheld taxes, so filling out taxes is 'rewarded' in the moment.

I think you could share the pain, by having the IRS send an annual invoice to each tax payer, stating clearly how much they paid the government.
Neat. I stand corrected. TIL.
Glucose and blood pressure would get me to buy. And I don't have issues with either.
Airpods is one of the invention that you don’t know you need it but when you buy it, you know it’s good and it just works seamlessly

It mentioned in the page that it’ll support high fidelity audio? Does this mean that they came up with new encoding for wireless transmission? Possibly something better than AAC?
In my location the spammer spoofs the numbers of calls that get picked up or go to voicemail.

I assume they do this to muddy the block lists that get used to filter their calls.

I know this because every now and then I will get up to 5 or so calls or texts of people claiming I called them.
Not at all, seeing as all FAT32 related patents expired many years ago
Also wondering. I've been using Firefox on Android for at least a couple years now. Works fine for me
This sounds so similar to my experience at a prior employer that I have to hazard a guess. Does this company, by chance, have (or had at least, prior to the pandemic) an elaborate on boarding ceremony?
A lot of people who don't contribute to productivity care about Myers Briggs*

My impression from some brief training was that it's based on temperament theory and not a knock off of MBTI.
No it doesn't, you're trying to stretch the notion that anything can be addictive with products designed to be addictive and distracting 24/7.

Also, the amount of fresh content on HN is way too low. Can't be compared even to old reddit.
You know what happens at the end of The Boy Who Cried "Wolf!"? There's actually a wolf.

It's fine to point out that just because some people say a thing doesn't mean it's happening, but you can't go all the way in the other direction and conclude that there are no wolves. You instead have to move towards a better way of measuring the problem.

Books, photos, silent videography and lo-fi audio never reached the point of being confused with reality. It was only with stereo and talking films that we started to see media start to threaten the reality–fantasy barrier theretofore robust in the mind. The fact that something like a jump scare works in movies but not in books shows a meaningful difference between kinds of media. Pornography overuse syndrome affects sexual function but I've never heard of a situation where this happened with mere erotica. Reality-mimicking media can produce immediate physiological responses where previous forms of entertainment required the active participation of the consumer.

Also, Plato quoted Socrates complaining about writing. I assume he didn't believe this himself (although he was known to sometimes put his beliefs in Socrates's mouth) or he probably wouldn't have written so many books.
Remember that the Peter principle only applies to people who’ve peaked and who are in roles with some meaningful promotion path remaining. It doesn’t apply to someone who’s working their way up the ranks and is currently an engineering manager. It also doesn’t apply to someone in that role in a small-to-midsized company where there’s nowhere further to be promoted without buying out the owner.
IMO there are basically two types of tax filers in the US:

1. People who really should file with pencil and paper (or excel, at most)

2. People who need an accountant

Very few people fall in between these categories. The tax code is so complicated and annoying that even things like employer RSUs, mortgages, side hustles, and doing more than 20 stock trades in a year can be risky and weird.
If there's one thing you can be certain of it's that for the discovery of any fact, however obscure or trivial seeming, somewhere there is a scientist who is extremely excited about it. I'm sure there are a lot of tardigrade fans out there who are thrilled by this.

> “I’ll never forget New Year’s Day 2019, when I received an email from Tomomi Nakano, another author of the paper. She had been working late trying to see the condensation of CAHS proteins and observed the first CAHS filament networks in human cultured cells. I was astonished at seeing such clearly defined microscopic images of these. It was the first time I had seen such a thing. It was a very happy new year indeed!”

I was likely either still drinking or sleeping it off while others were working away and emailing colleagues about fascinating discoveries.
And also because it is easy to turn most types of energy into heat.
Probably an incentive for people to upgrade every two years instead of lingering to 3+ years for phone upgrades.
wtf? I mean really, wtf? I can't believe some of the shit you've gone through... and my kids call my early life a "horror story"
As someone who hikes (well, it's NZ, so, tramps) a fair bit, we'll continue taking our PLB with us (we opted for a 406MHz PLB rather than the Garmin solutions because we didn't want to find out in a life-threatening situation that our credit cards had expired a month ago and we couldn't call for help!). You're right, a dedicated device is pretty mandatory for true life threatening situations, and we always have a bevy of safety equipment on harder tramps.

With that said, the iPhone (Pro?) is becoming somewhat of a swiss army knife for casual tramping: offline maps with GPS and a compass, an excellent set of cameras, an ereader, excellent battery life to back all that up _and_ it can now communicate with the rest of the world in non-life threatening -- but marginal -- situations. As an example, we leave intentions with people whenever we leave ("here is our route, if we're not back by midday on the third, contact SAR"); being able to message people and say "hey, I've rolled my ankle, we're safe but will be late because we're limping out, don't worry" is a pretty excellent feature.

We're probably a niche market, but several friends in that community are pretty excited about this feature. For 2-3 day trips, this makes the outdoors much more accessible.
I was hoping (despite no rumors to the contrary) that they’d at least keep the non-pros at slightly smaller sizes than the pros (say, 5.8” and 6.4”). But alas if you want a smaller phone your stuck with last years model.
There are also call-recording issues in all-party consent states [1]. The transcript not only shows recording, it could also be used as evidence that consent was never sought.

No, you ask yourself.

It was claimed "Lots of people are driven by pain and discomfort, not guilted, into euthanasia." It's incumbent on the person making an assertion to support it.
Presumably it's included in the cost of the device. They cost several hundreds dollars.
Do you think our attention spans are not getting worse?
"unstoppable" domains is the latest VC grift with their false advertising, since they moved to a L2 "Polygon", it takes only a handful of people who are part of the 8 people multisig to stop their "unstoppable" domains.

There is also not much a centralized company like UD could ever really resist as you elegantly described.
It will not take much pressure from governments or other entities to make the company UD crumble like a house of cards. An old fashioned centralized company roleplaying "decentralized" theater, VCs will be VCs..
Idk about 30%, but yea whatever they agree to with carriers for integrating this feature into the iPhone seems to make sense to me.

I mean are you really going to be upset that one multi-billion dollar corporation is getting a share of the revenue of other multi-billion dollar corporations? Should we be upset that Amazon sells Apple products on Amazon.com?

Or do you think Apple and others should just not create features like this or make it easier for you to switch carriers in different countries when the carriers themselves are making billions ripping you off with overpriced throw-away SIM cards?

Ultimately if they're developing features like this, I don't care if they do or don't get a cut. My life gets a lot better. If (to use the US as an example) Verizon makes a little less money because they're paying Apple. Whatever. Could not care less.

Apple will probably eventually launch their own service anyway unless anti-trust breaks them up. iPhone is so huge that they can truly own the full stack if they so desire.
Caring for an elderly parent who is in both mental and physical decline can be tough. In any case it is a deeply personal decision without a definitive right or wrong answer. After seeing my Aunt try to care for my grandmother for years only for it to negatively effect their relationship because of her dementia I wouldn't blame anyone for choosing a care facility. My grandmother lived for close to 20 years after she was no longer able to live independently.

I know people who were so effected by their experience of caring for an elderly relative that they checked themselves into a senior living community in their 50's so their kids would never have to feel like they needed to do the same for them.
None of these conflicts justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Nothing in the world justifies a Russian invasion of Ukraine, because this isn't the 18th fucking century.

Fusion? I've got a new and different design that needs testing. If anyone is interested there is more information at http://www.DDproFusion.com
Agreed. You put them in the case, hold the one button (basically the “pair” button) for a sec, and connect from your device.

Bam. Work perfectly after that.
it can be interesting to steelwoman that argument, for instance think of the vast sums of basically unnacountable money siphoned from taxpayers to kill hundreds of thousands of people during the iraq war, for instance?

it's not the worst idea to have some counterbalances to that type of spending
I scrolled and I scrolled and I got bored - it's like trudging through an old adventure game with dark mode on.

I don't think it's acceptable, but it's certainly profitable. Taking care of your family doesn't show up in GDP - gotta keep that GDP up though.

The US had to intervene to stop this.
I have spoken to many older folks, some of them quite wealthy who expressed their desire to choose their own death. One of them, unfortunately, got a metastasized late stage cancer (discovered late), and in fact ended her life with dr assisted euthanasia. She did not have children, and did so on her own volition. She was definitely rich enough to hire caretakers/pay necessary medical expenses. Honestly, even for myself, if my situation is extremely terminal, I would rather die in comfort and control than a torture slightly muffled by opioid stupor.
exFAT is a good candidate for a replacement "lowest common denominator" file system, and support for it is growing rapidly now that Microsoft has effectively open-sourced it.

But as you pointed out, in a transitionary period there is still a need to support older devices and software. FOSS purists may also not approve of using exFAT in some situations, since the relevant patents have not yet expired, even if MS has released them to the OIN.
> I have seen no evidence showing individual investors outperforming when using non-linear derivatives

Well, how would you get to see that evidence? I mean, it'd have to be a non-zero number of them.
