Thank you, because you just took me on the Planet Earth: I’m using a 14 Pro and I upgraded from a XS and the change was impressing. Now… I was just being victim of the hype :D better save these money!
By and large leadership of engineering companies have been subsumed by finance heads. Boeing is the canonical example, but Intel also (and their attempts to course-correct haven't been super successful).
IF only USB had some sort of standard committee that could disallow that sort of thing…
Apple is fairly silent on these kinds of things, but it really is impressive how much they invest in leading edge manufacturing - huge CNC factories, this insane mixed metal weld, laser precision drilling…
It was bad then, today it would probably be different. At least after one big artist breaks that barrier, then people won't care much.
2001, which I like, is not the 6th best film of all time. It’s 3/4ths of a really good movie. The rest is psychedelic nonsense.
People like you are probably in the <0.01% of all users: Google will probably manage.
I've experienced it once myself, and I'm not 100% sure.

There was a large power substation about 5km away in roughly that direction, and that was my original assumption. But I don't think it tripped (at least not completely), as we didn't lose power.

It was also far brighter than I would expect from an arc at a substation (it drowned out local street lights), higher in the sky, with multiple flashes covering much more of the sky than a single substation.

So I strongly lean towards it being earthquake lights, which is a documented phenomenon.
Interesting. I still have my iPhone6 leather case (been meaning to throw it out) - it's a bit worn around the edges but it still holds and isn't gummy.

Currently I find otterbox cases are fantastic grip/slide ratio that I prefer to my old leather case.
The announcement of the iPhone, presumably, to save people a google.
Even Gmail would be a safe service to use if people just copied/pasted locally encrypted blocks of data into/out of email messages.

I suspect that even if everyone could be convinced that encrypting everything was a good idea, the moment gmail couldn't collect and profit from the contents of people's private messages they'd shut the service down. It exists only to exploit us.
> However, one thing I don't like about Godot is their choice of a dynamically-typed, scripting language as their main programming language, instead of a statically-typed, compiled language which, in my humble opinion, would have been better.

I have never used Godot, but from https://godotengine.org/features/#script :

> New in 4.0: GDScript offers optional static typing support, boosting your coding efficiency and runtime performance.

and

> Godot is built to be extended, and that means you can choose a programming language not provided by the Godot team itself. Thanks to our community there are many language bindings for popular tools like Rust, Nim, Python, and JavaScript.

> New in 4.0: C++ supports comes officially in the form of GDExtension API, which gives you a way to script and program your game components for maximum performance without having to recompile the engine.
Good point. The Unity AOT toolchain is really unique and optimized for games in ways that other .NET AOT approaches aren't. The keywords here are IL2CPP and Burst Compiler. Both represent a years of investment into big efforts and aren't replicated easily.
Even back at those times earth quakes (2 miles/s) were a bit slower than the speed of light.
It might just parallelize multiple downloads or something like that?
Well, it's a tool. It's not just a computing environment that runs applications.

For people that don't work in software, the biggest change here is the camera upgrades. This thing has 8x optical zoom and can record 3D video.

Many people use their phone camera as part of their job, and many more people as part of their hobbies.

For some of these people it's worth the cost to upgrade, especially if their current phone is a couple generations behind.
It was not very long ago, when I understood that many prominent employers would demand credentials -- not just your username, but your password too -- for all your social media accounts, so they could comb through and find stuff on you as a job candidate, never mind if it were personal, private, family-related.

I think they have relented on that sort of intrusion, but then again, I am sure that there are plenty of background check services that can easily penetrate and scrape most social media accounts for anything and everything a prospective employer (or stalker or abuser or LEO) would want to know, for a small price.
That makse sense: USB micro-B has the part that wears out (i.e. the spring making the connection) in the cable; Lightning has it in the port.

Although I haven't really had a Lightning port fail on me yet, having the component more likely to eventually break in the cable rather than the device makes a lot of sense to me.
My country lost around 400 000 people (out of roughly 4 million) in the last 10 years and that doesn't seem to have made any difference.
The density of an object at hydrostatic equilibrium is a function of its gravity, which is a function of it's mass, assuming rocky and similar composition in aggregate. The likelihood that a planet would be 2x the diameter of earth and less dense is extremely low.
Which makes me wonder what that would look like and would it be helpful?

But there's already such complex and varied typography in math I wonder if it would be kind of redundant. E.g. you don't need matching parentheses to be colored when they already come in different sets of matching heights.
> Being "fast" is not a selling point

It could be, if that is a pain point for the customer. You could be 10x faster than any other option, but if "slow builds" are not on the top 10 list of problems they are dealing with, it's a meaningless statistic.
You're not wrong, but it certainly doesn't hurt to to use a different email service. I use Protonmail as my main email account, and I'm sure the HN crowd knows that there many other good email services available these days. If you think the general population should change their behavior, then it has to start somewhere, y'know?
GE...THIS is how it's done. Period.

What I see described here is the exact opposite of what I witnessed at "the greatest management training company in the world." What a quagmire.

They had the CEO from Cinnabon come in to give a talk and she laid down what sounded to me like a dress down of the management culture at GE....you could hear the whooshing jet noises as it went right over their heads.
This never made sense to me. Being intelligent and hard working is (to me) obviously better than being intelligent and lazy. The latter just thinks great thoughts, but does nothing about them.
No. I don't have many apps (very few in fact) but did not notice anything speed-wise. The plastic cover tends to get dirty and is hard to clean, but I can live with it.
It was somewhat dependent on your job, although the norm is no recursion.

From Wikipedia "other compilers, like IBM COBOL, will produce code that prints "1 2 3 END END END END ..." and so on, printing "END" over and over in an endless loop." [1]

Also, having never used COBOL, the PERFORM statement is pretty cool. Like calling arbitrary parts of a Switch statement with a single line. Would be neat if some other languages had that.

Or you have helped them refine their detection of malicious training input. ;) Who's to say?

I was speaking about how WhatsApp currently works. Not how WhatsApp could potentially work (and the functionality you suggest would almost certainly never be implemented unless Meta were compelled by law to do so).
So the results from all studies are based on self-reported stress, studies may include other non-breathing related interventions, the breathwork intervention can comprise any number of kinds of breathwork, and authors themselves conclude that the studies included are at a “moderate” risk of bias?

Seems hard to say anything substantive about the conclusions when the inputs are that shaky.
I see that this is downvoted, so take my upvote. Every business that is "too big to fail" needs to be broken up ASAP, and that includes Google.

wxWidgets is as native as MFC. It is the same real controls, Win32 style.

It is the only cross-platform library that uses native Windows controls. Qt? Emulated. GTK? Only native in Gnome, emulated on Windows.

Even the new APIs, like WinUI, from Microsoft, are less native than wxWidgets.
That's how most companies work, if that frequently, with difficulties handled by exception. Only in big tech is that the focus of the "work" and do you have managers who spend their time on it, leading to the "professional meeting attenders" mentioned elsewhere.
overhead power lines aren’t intentional transmitters but some form of “could i power a device from the RF leakage?” gets asked on EE stack exchange at least once a year since its inception.

it’s hard to point at anything in the press release and confidently say “that’s new”. i think what’s happening is that IoT/sensing is a big enough market that companies can finally invest in engineering and commercializing some of the things that have been researched over the last several decades. which imo is great to see.

In my experience, it's actually Apple cables that break pretty easily. It usually doesn't happen at the Lightning side, but at or near the strain relief, i.e. close to where the cable meets the plug.

I've seen this happen for Apple MagSafe, Lightning, and I believe even USB-C.
I have a question- why does Stoicism get this much attention in the digital space, as compared to other schools?

I found Epicureanism, Existentialism (esp. Nietzsche, Heidegger, Camus NOT Sartre), and the writing of Montaigne to be much more relevant in this day and age.

Why is Stoicism disproportionately famous?

Is it because of Aurelius's Meditations? Writings of a Roman Emperor that every average Joe can confidently think that they understand? Any other reasons?
Just because you do your taxes on paper and don't use social media, doesn't mean that information isn't online.

You have to control not just your behavior, but everyone else's. It's exhausting and frankly, impossible.
The article is rather confusing. A better way to understand what Gmail does is to look at Gmail settings (under General). Here they are:

> [x] Turn on smart features and personalization - Gmail, Chat, and Meet may use my email, chat, and video content to personalize my experience and provide smart features. If I opt out, such features will be turned off.

> [x] Turn on smart features and personalization in other Google products - Google may use my email, chat, and video content to personalize my experience and provide smart features. If I opt out, such features will be turned off.

There are two 'learn more' links that go to the same place:

> The control covers smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet that may use your data to improve the models that power smart features, including [list omitted, emphasis added].

> Smart features in other Google products that may use your Gmail, Chat, and Meet data include: [another long list omitted]

This could be a bit clearer about what happens if you have 'said no.' If the reporter had actually gotten someone to clarify that, it would be helpful. As it is, they've added no value over just quoting what it says.
Assuming they're reprogrammable, why not just build such cards into phones?

Lots of people get into places like Jane Street because they hustle and aren't necessarily any smarter than you.

Nobody is comparing the cost of an iPhone in the US to the cost of land in East Africa. They're comparing the cost of buying an iPhone in East Africa to land in East Africa.

Different places have different costs of living, and many consumer goods and services adjust to that in different markets. Apple is notorious for setting international price points insanely high relative relative to local price points.
In Daniel Yergin's The Prize (and the PBS series made from it), there's a chilling sequence in which the increasing challenges of transacting oil trade in gold.

In the television series, this is communicated in an interview with Gwin Follis, former chairman of Standard Oil of California, filmed in what appears to be a palace.

"We made an agreement with Ibn Saud that we would give him gold. For every ton of oil we took out of his country we would give him gold. And we did at first. Then we got to be producing more and more and more, and we would try to find more gold shillings to meet the requirements so we could ship another ton. And we had to tell him we couldn't find any more gold. There wasn't that much gold. We had now such an enormous business that we cleaned the world of gold shillings."

From The Prize, Part 5- Crude Diplomat at 31:24.

<https://yewtu.be/watch?v=k7g5UMxDZIg&list=PLYkO4hiKyrSRjZLQu...>

This illustrates a number of elements: the enormous scale of the oil business, the challenges of a gold-backed monetary system, and the challenges of an exceptionally one-sided trade.

Going off the gold standard and dollarising oil sales solved several problems:

- The US had an unlimited supply of dollars.

- Saudi Arabia (and other oil exporters) wouldn't see their own currencies appreciating due to an unbalanced inflow of payments.

- Global demand for dollars in trade meant that dollarised petroleum sales wouldn't lead to either appreciation or depreciation of that currency.

- Basing international trade on a managed rather than specie / gold-backed currency meant that monetary policy could be used to adjust money supply to economic conditions.

On TFA, the precipitous decline of US gold reserves beginning in 1950, the year in which the US became a net importer of oil, is illuminating.
I never understand why people get more upset about the bash script running arbitrary code than the program it's actually installing.
I have to go this way with some apps, because the PC/Mac desktop versions are unavailable (banking apps), or are missing significant numbers of features (CapCut). So I have to use a smartphone as my primary work terminal, which is impossible if you just use the touchscreen.
Based on an analysis of their product line up and past actions, I believe their ultimate intention was to introduce USB-C as the port for iPhone "Pro" models and remove the port entirely from the regular non pro models, in favor of wireless charging. You can see a proto version of this in the current iPad lineup: the Pro and Air (mid range model) have USB-C, while the base iPad uses Lightning.

You're right that USB-C can transfer data very fast in comparison to Lightning, but most casual users likely don't do this at all. They primarily use cloud backup solutions. This is somewhat supported by the fact that data transfer speeds on non pro models of the 15 are the same as Lightning.

Additionally, Apple had much more control over who could legally produce cables and accessories with Lightning due to owning the standard, which isn't the case with USB-C.

I really think the only reason it didn't shake out like this is because wireless charging tech just isn't where it needs to be. It's possible that Apple thought it was going to advance faster. They had one very ambitious product they were going to release for wireless charging that got completely canceled a couple years ago: theverge.com/2021/8/5/22611234/apple-airpower-wireless-charger-working-prototype

Do you know how rare it is for Apple to announce a product and then alter it at all from what they said when they announced it -- much less straight up cancel it?

They could have gone the iPad route, but part of the problem is that iPhones are a status symbol/conspicuous consumption product as well. There are plenty of people who buy the latest "Pro" model as a way of signaling status. This move would likely have caused a lot of confusion in general for less tech savvy people. It's no longer "Do you have an iPhone charger?" it's "Do you have an iPhone charger or that new new one?"

>They only were waiting around for a scapegoat.

I really doubt this. Apple has never been one to shy away from making decisions that can be decried as shameless profit grabs. Example: removing headphone jack. Removing wall brick charger from phones.

They could not have predicted that the EU would introduce unprecedented legislation forcing them to this standard and they fought it vehemently.
They don't kill cows to make leather. The cows are raised for meat and milk. Actually, NOT using leather is worse for the environment because now you have leather which has no use and you're creating pleather or whatever replacement.

Also, heavily biased towards the 20s-50s

Edit: more detail,
35/250 films are from the past 25 years, from 1998 to now. Less than 1/7 of films from over 1/5 of the entire history of film?

And then the consistant bias of impact to the industry vs actual filmic value... this isn't supposed to be a list of the 250 most impactful films... I've seen a few of these older films from the 20s or 30s. For sure, they were developing the language of film and are absolutely key to film history. But are you really going to say they stand up to films made in recent years with a fully mature vocabulary?

This is such a common occurrence on lists like this, they might as well be called "250 films you will probably watch in film studies class"

Another edit:
I counted 42 films from the 25 year period from 1920-1945
There is always someone with something, for example talent or opportunity, that you don’t have or can’t have. I guess I was lucky to come to terms with “life’s no fair” at a young age.

That doesn’t mean I’m defeatist, I’m a very driven person, but it does allow me to be more realistic without becoming demotivated.
I have devices that only works with Usb a to c cables. I also have devices that doesn’t accept the same. ditto for e-marked cables, and passive charging cables. I now need to get a usb c cable tester and label each cable and device.
In at least some cases, the symptoms are part of the body's attempts to fight the sickness - fever for example, which raises body temperature, making it more hostile to the pathogen.
Yeah it's somewhat of a more broad term though? Like, the freakiest pranayama gets is rechaka pranayama, where you breathe out the air from your lungs and try to hold it out, depleting your blood-oxygen levels (hypoxia mimesis). Has also been practiced in qigong[1], thankfully you can't actually induce self-unconsciousness this way (at least not without, say, breathing into a bag[2]). But all to say that my understanding is that pranayama is just kind of yoga slang for "breathwork", there's not just one kind of it as far as I know?

This shocked me too. I kind of expect this to happen more on Arch because it gets marketed heavily to new users on Reddit but Debian seems geared more towards “olds” like me who just want a complete OS without a lot of effort. I couldn’t imagine using non-standard repos in a normal operating environment.
This is just a very standard feature of dual-role USB devices, no?

I was also really hoping for wireless "MagSafe-out" charging for the Apple Watch, which would come in very handy when traveling – often there's limited outlets on hotel nightstands, and sometimes I just forget the watch charger.
