> Apple switched to Lightning. It was better in every. single. way.

This is pedantic, but the 30-pin connector did have one minor feature Lightning didn't -- the interface supported a design where it needed to be squeezed to be released, like DisplayPort or RJ45, and a small number of products took advantage of this to build very secure mounts. When switching to Lightning it was no longer possible to build a 3rd-party accessory that had such a secure attachment to the phone.

EDIT: I had remembered this as something Apple's original cables did, where you needed to squeeze them to release, but looking back I think you could just pull them out: https://web.archive.org/web/20071023101738/http://store.appl...

EDIT2: that page has a comment "This cable came with my Ipod Touch and all i have to say is , what an improvement. it was a wonderful idea to do away with those silly squeese tabs. all i have to do is give it a quick yank and its out." so maybe I'm not imagining things?
Another variation of this would be to use LVM2 on the USB devices and add each one as a PV, then use RAID on top of the logical volumes. The reason being is that it is super easy to migrate PV's in LVM from device to device should one start to exhibit errors rather than waiting for a full failure to auto-rebuild the raid, or expand a logical volume by adding more devices.
Yea but now people who were using the Lightning cable will have to buy new USB-C devices and replace existing cables.

While the parent was being a bit disingenuous, they are correct that this will create additional e-waste that really probably wasn't necessary to do. I'm happy that Apple is switching to USB-C, for whatever that is worth.
The ads on the bottom of CVS receipts are incrementally increasing their costs. Do you feel a moral obligation to read each one?
The lag happens because FF throttles the frame rate that's calling Jerrica when a tab isn't the center of attention. When used in a game, the developer could choose the lazy route I did in the demo or could stop calling Jerrica completely.

In terms of the clicks and pops, if it's not an imposition, could you let me know if you hear similar artefacts in the Newgrounds game listed in the FAQ? That MOD file was specifically modified to try and minimise that issue and I'd be interested in if it sounds better or worse on your setup.
The fourth is effectively a law that constrains the authorities from carrying out searches under many circumstances.

The fifth constrains courts from forcing people to testify against themselves.

These rules are often framed as "rights", but they are really restrictions on the power of government officials.

I'm not sure why you have put this in terms of "specific types of business" and "certain activities". What types of business, and what activities, receive special protection under those amendments? What are you getting at?

I'd say the one exception here is removing the headphone jack. I'm still really salty about that one. Even as a Pixel owner...the downstream ecosystem effect was everyone removing the headphone jack. And most Android phones didn't even get the waterproofing benefits!

Bluetooth just STILL isn't there from a reliability perspective. Even with the latest Gen 2 AirPods, I talk to friends who continue have sporadic stuff where a single bud cuts out, or you have to reconnect to get the mic working, or etc. etc... Just give me a damn analog plug and let me hear/talk!

If it aligned with end-users why not just create a robust narrowband specification that attempts to guaranteed some minimum bandwidth between the device and tower in many different signal conditions? Or would we just call that 4G?
of course they could have, but it would have made for a more complex UI and add potential confusion to users. nothing that would be a serious problem that could not be overcome, but any of these things are tradeoffs. cost, complexity, etc.

SMS wasn't removed to make way for arbitrary user IDs. that would have been surprising even though i prefer IDs over SMS support. but if SMS was on the way out already it made sense to wait with implementing arbitrary user ID support until then. and now they have one less excuse not to implement it

> Extended the definition of "time of war" to include a war in which the state is not a participant. This was to allow the Government to exercise emergency powers during the Second World War, in which the state was neutral.

Seems like Ireland lasted 2 years before (in practice) removing all constitutional limits on government power forever. Oh sure, it's only "if so resolved by both Houses of the Oireachtas" but that's slim comfort to me.
This makes me feel better.

This seems to be a thing with weather models more generally. Somewhat relatedly, I've spent quite a bit of time evaluating weather models for use in India and Africa, and while predictions are easy to find, validation results for the predictions are very hard to find. And when you do find them, the results are pretty poor, with many models performing worse than if you would say "predict temperature on date X to be the average observed temperature on the same date in the past 10 years". But people still sell (and buy) these predictions!

Weather predictions seem to be accepted quite uncritically. Perhaps people have a lot of confidence in the smart people that built these predictions (a bit like how AI predictions can sometimes be accepted uncritically).
> An idea is a set of smug certainties that allow you to stop looking, listening and learning. Observation is the antidote to those certainties. Ideas are rigid, observations adapt. Ideas make you seem smart, observations make you smarter ...But for a writer, the most important distinction is this: Ideas are generic, and observations are specific.

This seems obvious and is not was I was expecting. I think of ideas as being new vs ideologies or beliefs.

I don't think the distinction between observation and interpretation is natural to many and I often get into challenging situations trying to separate them in discussions.

> I must be the only person on HN who thinks the lightening port is better than USB-C.

How do you define "better?"

For charging its fine, as long as you aren't going for high power levels. In terms of data transfer, it simply can't support the data rates that usb-c can. If you want a simple, robust connector for moderate charging loads with moderate data transfer needs it is a great connector.

That's not opinion, just simple physics. Lightning has a lot fewer wires. Apple has managed to get base USB3 rates with a couple of devices, but nowhere close to the thunderbolt rates you can get with USB-C.

Having said that, for the vast majority of use cases, it is a great connector. Simple, idiot proof, and robust.
Oh, look, a huge company that pays artists a pittance[0] is pretending to be on the side of the artists (writers in this case) in their fight against mean old Apple. Is this like when they complained about Apple not letting them do Siri, but then never implemented Siri support? Or maybe it's like when they complained about Apple not letting them make a watch app, when the APIs were already available?

Nah, it's about Spotify wanting more money, and trying to pretend it's David vs Goliath it's not.

Yep, typo.

I like the way he models the problem from first principles. Economic views have a tendency to hand wave the laws of thermodynamic.
I think that applies to Windows and Linux, too, but at larger time scales.

I don’t think Windows 95 gets all necessary security updates, for example. Nor gets Linux 1.0 (you could backport them yourself, of course)

What makes this much more an issue with Apple’s OSes is that they obsolete hard- and software versions way more aggressively than others. Older hardware won’t support newer OS versions, and that, if you can move to a newer OS version, upgrading will more often break your existing programs.
> This will lead to a housing market that will grind to a halt and expect that whole sector will hemorrhage jobs

Yea and outside of just absolutely ultraviolet kind of hot markets this will mitigate downward pressure on prices now and in the future because home builders (though that's another problem) won't be building homes. Coupled with people who have locked in interest rates, the market seems to me to be poised to grind to a halt and prices to remain quite high.
No, I think Valve doesn't want to be bought, whether it's through an acquisition or by IPO.

Valve was bootstrapped by Gaben. It doesn't have any investors that want an exit, doesn't need to raise funds, and Gaben is already a billionaire. They have no incentive to sell themselves.

Things I Hate About (U)Nix (2005)
We have 5 iPhones (no usb-c connectors), 5 tablets (no usb-c connectors), 1 desktop (no usb-c port), and 6 laptops (only 1 of which has a usb-c charger). So, we have a grand total of 1 usb-c cable in the house. And that one is already in use charging a laptop. I sure hope Apple is planning on including a cable and charger with future iPhones so I don’t have to purchase a separate cable.

Frankly, hardware doesn’t become as obsolete as fast anymore, so there has been little reason to purchase usb-c replacements for our non-usb-c hardware.
I spent a couple years on a motorbike traveling all through Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos (15k+ kms). Water mostly flows from the north (China) to the south in that region. The Mekong River.

China and Vietnam have dammed up nearly all of the large rivers in those three countries, for hydro. There are countless projects constantly being built as well. The scale is pretty epic really. Vietnam has some of the largest number of hydro dams in the world.

Downstream, there are huge swaths of empty riverbeds. In the wet season, when the rains overflow the dams, there are major floods and people who have built too close to the river edge, get swept away.

Hydro certainly is green, but the effect it has on everything downstream, isn't. Especially when it is poorly managed by countries that don't really have very much ecosense. They claim they are removing dams. I've seen it, they aren't... if anything they are just building more.

I wore out the USB-C connector on my android phone in about a year and a half of daily charging, so probably lasted less than 500 cycles. I had to resort to wireless charging to keep the phone functioning. This is my first long-lifed usb-c connector and so far it doesn't impress for durability.

My wife has used apple for years, while she does need new cables from time to time the phone side has never had an issue.

They did keep working on it and released Daydream, which was dedicated holder for phone. They included VR support in Android and there were a few supported phones. But they canceled it and removed compatibility from OS. I still have mine, which was free with a Pixel phone, but not sure I can use it.
Well lately the price is <100EUR/MWh, peak this year was >350EUR/MWh
And who says it needs to be compatible? Companies design what they feel are the best/better components for their products. If consumers want to have a "standard" connector that works with multiple devices, they have that with the many Android OEMs that choose to use USB.

But I don't see why the government should be forcing companies to use a standard when it has no clear connection to safety of the product.

I think the problem is the focus on huge dam projects, for which there are very few available opportunities not already taken or which would cause a great deal of damage. Small dams, as the type promoted by Smil in the article, would indeed be beneficial, though I haven't seen a study on where such dams could be reliably placed and the projected outcomes.

Superb comment. It's rare that I agree with so many words as-is.

I might add only a minor note that his construct for h/help breaks globbing in a directory that happens to contain a file named "h" or "help" (even without a leading dash '-'), but only if that happens to be first alphabetically. No footgun there..Lol. He also does no "--" support, about the only convention to make globbing work reliably.

“long term” is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

It seems clear that what we’re doing right now can sustain things until spring. If we’re willing to pay to do it again next year, and the year after that… at some point it’s going to be financially viable to change the makeup of both energy sources and how it’s consumed.
If the goal is to end online advertising as a business model, then not visiting the site is either morally equivalent (no change) or morally worse (does not harm the business) to visiting it with an ad blocker (does harm the business).
Burning Kerosene emits as much co2 as producing it consumes, but kerosene is massively easier to transport and store in existing infrastructure. (It's literally jet fuel)
This is very solid work, really exciting to get this perspective. As someone who's never left his home country and is often thinking of deserts every now and then, it's really inspiring stuff to see.

A very slight hiccup - I couldn't find a way to disable the "You're now standing on the blocks [...]" tooltip on Firefox. It's a litle big and immersion breaking - if it'd be shown once that'd be more fitting. While this could be fixed via console, I think it's something to consider.
Green?!? Dams in my home state are being removed to great applause and rejoicing. Restoring fisheries and natural habitats destroyed by reckless dam building in the last century is a growing priority.
Winning on social media is a hollow activity, with no chance of success and nothing of value to be won even if you did.

However, there is a battlefield: the voting booth. People who believe misinformation vote, and the social contract requires us to live with the consequences of that vote. Some misinformation results in choices that harm people.

The whole idea is that we're supposed to discuss it before we vote, and social media would have seemed an ideal place to hold that discussion. Instead, we spend a lot of it fighting over things that are straightforward enough that it should be easy to achieve widespread consensus. Democracy doesn't require or even desire unanimity, but it expects an agreement about things that are fairly obvious.

Without that, the entire edifice of democracy breaks down. The battlefield of social media is not directly relevant, but the battlefield of the polling place is. It's clear that any kind of frontal assault on misinformation is an unwinnable fight, but my confidence is low that we can achieve even a stable state that prevents national policy from being formed on the basis of simple errors.
> All this stupid stretchy synthetic fabric wears out differently than natural fibers and then jeans start to fall apart.

For what it's worth, I wear mostly pretty cheap American Eagle jeans with stretch and they have lasted years on me. And that's despite basically wearing only four pairs of them in heavy rotation.

A big part of it is that I don't wash them every time I wear them. If I don't do anything to get them actively dirty or sweaty, I'll wear them a few times before they go in the wash. My understanding is that washing machines are, by a very large margin, the largest source of wear in clothing.

Stuff gets weird when you have a lot of inflation. It distorts everything.
> This is the weirdest "recession" I can remember.

Its not a recession, which is why it is weird when looked at as a recession.

OTOH, there is still substantial risk of inflation control measures creating a recession. (And there is a bigger risk of business actions anticipating and avoiding being overextended in case of a recession caused by inflation control measures themselves causing a recession.)

Very short term and local supply and demand issue where there was way more supply than demand. A market inefficiency issue with Europe finding new sources for natural gas supply and being paranoid about running out.
