Motorola is a lot better than Samsung on that front.
Aside from the famous case of Apple Corps as noted by jollofricepeas, there are multiple other trademarks for “Apple” as a single word in the US, including for tobacco, horseshoes, books, and travel.
No company is going to put chokes on every cable if they’re not needed to pass FCC. Why would they? Would you want extra chokes on every cable just in case a ham operator might use the product somewhere?

Note that this author isn’t claiming the device breaks FCC limits, just that it emits enough that his highly sensitive radio could pick it up.

It’s not reasonable to be mad at a company for shipping a product that meets the limits. This guy just wanted something lower than the official limits because he’s tuning a radio to that frequency right next to it.
"We have proof you were there. Will you risk 10 years in jail, or take this plea bargain? Are you feelin' lucky, punk?"
This statement is very meaningful in our current society, but one I wish sounded as insane as it is. I hope more people will think about the basic dogma of corporatism in the coming years...
Can you ELI5 how does this negatively affect the consumer and why should the consumer prefer the 'bad looking' choke option?
What is fantastic about it? It looks cheap and has a low resolution black & white display. Sure, the screen is reflective, but so what?

As far as I can tell, what this project has going for it is just slick marketing. But for me the marketing video is over-produced, form-over-substance, and I can't stand the voiceover or overall tone. It's saccharine.

I see some Cortex-M7 SBCs on AliExpress for $5. Add the rest of it and it's probably like $20 worth of hardware/enclosure and $5 for assembly labor.

They are selling it for $200. So it's like a 700% markup.

They did that openly. What they did in secret was to harden it against an incredibly powerful attack (it's still a basis for block and hash cryptanalysis today) that nobody else knew about.
So the answer to "rent seeking vampire insurance companies" is a rent seeking vampire government agency?

No thank you.

The answer to government created problems isn't a government created department.

All you have to do is look at all of history to see the results of increased government power. Look at the lies of the unaffordable care act. look at the fact that things the government promises as "free" become unaffordable and worse.
I worry about the ongoing ratcheting of the arms races that AI creates. It's nice that we have better tools to detect problems, but those tools are also readily available to bad actors and they will run their attempted fraud through these tools multiple different times until they succeed and bypass them. We see the same thing in malware where every malware producer make sure before they deploy something that it doesn't get detected by any known tools or methods.
It was not a 747. Worse! It was a 747 Dreamlifter.

> nobody really wants FPGA fabric on a CPU.

Not true... Xilinx sells a lot of their Zynq, MPSoC, and RFSoC chips. Though I guess those are more CPU on an FPGA.
Extremely difficult to create a useful product like this for pros. They are looking for very specific things that are highly dependent on matchup, their build, opponent build, who their opponent is, how the game is going so far, etc.

Feedback like "your baneling run-bys are most cost-effective with 7 banelings around the ten minute mark" is firstly unlikely to be accurate, and secondly unlikely to be useful to a pro because their play is so situational.

There also isn't enough data in the replay files to piece together the kind of specific information they would want.

SC2 has extremely high variance, even at the pro level. It's very hard to mine useful insights from game data. Even pro builds, which are supposedly standardized, have crazy variation: https://sc2.gg/reports/top-openings-2022/.

There are so many variations in games, and there are often adjustments on the fly or even sometimes mess ups.
Imagine any single one of those companies being the single payer insurance you are forced into. They (government included) become far worse. Rationing care, deciding who lives or does, underpaying doctors and nurses till the best ones quit and the remaining have any care burned out of them. That’s what’s happened in other countries and regions and every time there is a surge or a more complicated care you and loved ones are left to die or deprived of care options.
CL has gotten much much worse over the last few years. So has FB Marketplace. Perhaps a hidden value of the payola approach is to avoid these outcomes. Or perhaps every marketplace declines like this. It may be that private secondary market online market is simply not a sustainable business. That would be unfortunate, but interesting.
As others have pointed out, this is the experience with other healthcare providers.

Insurers are incentivized for you to not seek out healthcare, but not die. Or seek care, but pay out of pocket. They need those premiums.

I had bad insurance once (Unicare), and an office lady I worked with who used to work there shared many horrifying stories of things like employees putting claims in plastic bags and hiding them above the ceiling tiles.
Note that I didn't say that either didn't make sense or was grammatically incorrect, just that it sounds very strange.

I don't think your examples are that great, since you're listing requirements that "you" must meet to call for a ride, not things that disqualify "you" from calling for a ride. Also, using both "and" and "or" with lists of two items is common. Both "don't drink and drive" and "don't drink or drive" are plausible pieces of advice. "Twelve hours prior to the surgery don't drink, eat, and take any medicine" would be a very strange indication; it almost sounds like I'm being not to drink or eat, but to take any medicine of my choosing?
Their advantage might be quality though. I have a bunch of tools from Finland, because they're heavy duty and reliable. Cost is much higher than Chinese made, but it's still value for money.
There could also be many reasons besides this. If you want to point out Samsung and HTC having done this in the past, you can just say that. Honestly I'm a lot less surprised hearing that kind of news about those two, cause they don't have the same reputation to protect.

(Also I didn't downvote cause I'm not about that)
Hospitals are now required to publish prices for standard procedures. I was looking at differences in prices for insured vs uninsured, and in one case, it was like 25x difference.
Yeah, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a Pixel 8 and that's partly because I've been rocking a Pixel 4a for several years.
Something that requires the service of others isn't a "right".

you have a right to be free. Right to self defense. Right to free speech.

You don't have a right to the services of others.
This doesn't work. People will starve to death but blame the West for it. Propaganda is way too strong.
So we should eliminate insurance but replace it with insurance? I pay directly for my services when I can, have a subscription to a local “concierge doctor” or direct patient care.

No I am not a Silicon Valley bro, with the amount of kids I have I’m practically 200% above poverty line. I have “great” insurance and still do this. It can be done.

I know insurance intimately and it’s a terrible deal with poorly aligned incentives (for patients). I think removing any and all possible middle men will significantly decrease the corruption factor and waste factor. I don’t need 3 levels of coding reviewer bosses, support staff, adjusters,
Blah blah blah to check my visit codes when I am the one responsible for ensuring what I ordered is what is delivered.

I also participate in an HSA and have been appreciating this idea and if anything think it should be increased, more tax breaks and more money directly to people.
TThough unmentioned in the article, their thoroughness (& the value involved) implies they'll have a fix in place before attempting take-off – perhaps some form of quick/temporary pavement, perhaps assisted by seasonal freezing.

(Might a glassy-ice surface, created with pumped water, under durable winter freeze conditions be ideal? Does a jet need – or even necessarily want – any ground traction to take off?)
So what’s your solution then?
When people ask for certification. The stuff you get on amazon now doesn't have FCC numbers. Or silk screening on the pcbs or components to identify them.

Also there was a possibly false tale of intel adding clock jitter years ago to spread the emi across a band to pass tests, and then forgetting to enable that jitter on production units.
Couple of points of feedback.

On your Stealth Healthcare Startup Roles page [1] it says: "All roles are hybrid. We’re based in San Francisco" but further down the same page it says: "Remote and in-person hybrid work options. We’re based in San Fransisco." Partial update of that page that missed a bit?

And secondly: what does remote mean? US only? Within certain time zones? Worldwide? (Can I apply from NZ?)

I think it's more likely that if they spaced the releases out to every 5 years, there would just be a 5x reduction in the pace of changes, and you could issue the same complaint "Why do they release every 5 years when hardly anything changes?"

It's not like the incremental physical changes just automatically happen independently of designing, mass manufacturing, and releasing new phone models. The incremental physical changes happen because companies are trying to develop new phone models.
I think you're missing my point. I'm saying they shouldn't be allowed to give their incentives higher priority. They should be more tightly scrutinized so that their incentives don't matter.
Innovations in defense from physical theft: "time locks" in bank branches, where the safes and vaults take a fixed delay on the order of minutes to open, without any way for anyone in the bank to speed this up. This fact is advertised explicitly using stickers and posters around the bank, starting at the entrance. The point is to protect the staff, by making it clear there's nothing that can be achieved by coercion, and to deter robberies by making the criminals wait, vastly increasing their risk of being caught.

(And to add a cherry on top, this is usually not disturbing to actual customers, because they're busy doing usual bullshit paperwork while the safe is unlocking.)
They were changed in settling a class action lawsuit. But nothing was stopping merchants from offering a cash discount which would have served the same purpose.
> (4) as everything will change in any case, conservatism (as in "everything should be conserved as it is") is no longer an alternative

Forget "conservatism." I posted an article a few days ago that made a convincing case that capitalism is no longer possible. It hit the front page, then got flagged to death all within 15 minutes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37628674

And it's all because the capitalist mind virus has taken hold to such an extent that ""the widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it." [0] It's a sentiment that gets paraphrased into "people find it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism."

In the entire history of capitalism and industrial society, neither global energy use nor global CO2 emissions have ever decreased, except for one brief instant when we shut everything down in order that many more of us wouldn't die of COVID. We're driving ourselves off a metaphorical cliff and laughing about it. We're not going to get the last laugh on this one.

Seems to me that soon as there are consistent nighttime freezes, pumped water could create a level & sealed frozen surface.
Programmers Fallacies about Postcodes
Easier to just look for doctors on Google and call them and ask if they take your insurance. Hit rate is very high.
Why do I get the impression that the economy in 2023 is based on primarily fake things? So many things are either illusions, legal grifts, and outright ripoffs. This isn't anything new per se, but I think we may have gone beyond a critical threshold. Will the chickens come home to roost, or have things become so simulated that too many people believe ambiguously in the system for it to fail?
None of these tests really show JS winning, but they are showing that it's within spitting distance of C++ in multiple tests [1]

And, you can look at the code yourself, most of the examples read pretty much exactly the same as their C++ counterparts.

Mind you, this is also a test that looks at execution start to finish and doesn't give warmup time (which will always favor statically compiled languages).

> performance isn't consistent across VM versions

That's true for C++ compilers, so why would you expect performance to remain constant with a JIT compiler?

People think that other people are lying, because .. they extremely often do. Do you know how many people apply for engineering jobs and can't solve fizzbuzz? What's the alternative? Just trust anything people say and blindly give people any job they apply for because they say they have the qualifications?

The specific question helps settle the lying issue. If somebody claims to have experience, they should be able to produce an example of said experience. It's both an immediate test of their experience as well as at the same time providing lots of additional data, through their story, about how good of an engineer they might be.

Even if it's a person who has horrible communication skills, a decent interviewer can ask follow up questions to probe into the story's details that the poor communications skills left out.

I've been doing one form or another of full-stack webdev for over a decade now (5 years in industry, 7+ as a hobby). Looking for positive-impact roles and unique challenges requiring unconventional solutions. I still love to code in my spare time, and my latest major project is Ectype [0], a "language extension" that brings static types to vanilla JavaScript without requiring code transformation, which I presented [1] at Strange Loop 2023.

It's the new Gold rush. So this was bound to happen.
Both car and phone trade ins get resold and used until their actual EOL, no? I imagine most of these Pixel 8s that physically survive to year 7 (no cracked screen, etc) will have been traded in and will continue to be used in the 3rd world.
But it's silly to imply that there would be a new release every October even if they hadn't designed a new phone and prepared it for mass manufacture. What determines whether each release is "warranted" is, roughly, whether people buy the new one.
Story has its facts straight afaict.

There is no oligopoly in retail (online or brick and mortar). It's cut throat competition, razor thin margins, players coming and going.

Thank you, dang for all that you do! The title resonated and was consumed when it was more accessible, but now the scientific name makes the conclusions inaccessible to most readers, and it went quickly below the fold. The question is do we communicate the insight or let the sophisticated language burry the information. You can change it to anything you like, as always, but I think it would help to make the title more accessible.
Fair point, AFAIK C++ templates are pretty heavily used to avoid a dynamic dispatch. Couple that with the fact that polymorphic OO has fallen out of favor generally and I could see this mattering a lot less now-a-days.
Motorola Defy did the same 13 years ago. Loved the size and the white frame design, would buy a remake with modern chips and camera without hesitation.

Am I the only one who feels that CAPTCHAs are pretty hostile to users and also, as far as blocking bots go, kind of in conflict with the ethos of generally open info sharing in tech? I mean, if your website is out there in public, why shouldn't it be crawlable? I am not sure I see strong valid reasons for such restriction.

I abhor it whenever I have to click "all images with trees" and all that kind of stuff.
Free market options with reasonable government regulations.

What we had when this country had great healthcare options.

You know... the stuff that was replaced with "Keep your Doctor", "keep your plan", "save $2500 a year" and other lies used to pass the unaffordable care act (and similar).

There's a reason "Free Healthcare" can only pass with lies - and it's because government options/UHC/etc are lies for those who don't look at... well... history.

I checked, Amazon does indeed sell tiny violins. They are keychains that make sounds. Unless there's a claim here that the FTC is working directly for, say, Walmart, everyone else benefits from Amazon being brought down a handful of pegs.

Sorry if it makes things hard for some AWS customers, but eggs, baskets, etc.
Legal precedent exists for a reason. It's not waving the white flag, it's having actual standards and rules. I think Amazon is a shithole of a website and one of the worst examples of downward spirals into mediocrity, but there has to be some semblance of fairness.

Targeting amazon for something Walmart or Target does, but without targeting them too is just wack. You can't just handwave that issue by saying that we can just start there! Because it's been decades, it's standard industry practices, and the law hasn't changed (I know that the FTC has a wide executive mandate, but conjuring a rule is still not great).

Even if you want Amazon broken down, you don't want such a process to start on super shaky grounds like this. I don't know how to explain exactly what I mean here, but it just feels off!
> Finally I lowered the price enough to get it sold.

How much did you have to lower the price by? How did that compare to the ad-ransom you would have had to pay?
Ah I was always a bit foggy on that, I bought it about 7 years ago. I guess it was just the normal 7 Plus.
It won't fall over (there are still lots of real things out there), but it's pretty much just basic economics. If you can make a fake thing instead of a real thing for significantly less cost, but could sell it for a similar price, why would you make the real thing?
Mr. Beast Deepfake Scam
I LOVE that link, but I think serious accusations like that need better justification/explanation.

Are you saying that Amazon is buying upvotes for comments they like, or that that comment was written by a shill? The former is very possible but hard to prove either way, but the latter seems really unreasonable. In this example, it's a poster that's been here since 2017, talking about things like startup culture, Covid-19, and investment banking. They even say they're ex-AWS in their HN bio, which would be a very unconventional move for an Amazon-corporate-operated fake account.

Hah. Yeah. The whole bit about climate tipping points, and how we've tripped (IIRC) 5 of them, and are in danger of tripping (IIRC again, sorry) another 8 or 9.... that's a whole other comment.

I was literally telling my therapist about a week and a half ago that it's so frustrating that I'm probably one of the most "doom and gloom" people I know on these subjects, yet every time I've been proven wrong, it's because I haven't been pessimistic enough. I'm about ready to start cross dressing and change my name to Cassandra, lol.
For an annual event in Mississippi that start 24 years after the civil war, I would be more surprised if any of that wasn't true, it also doesn't make the people or the event racist. Its just a southern cultural heritage. The fact that only 6 cabins of hundreds had a confederate flag means that its kind of an insane things to pick on.
One of the major downsides of the Hexagon DSP is that its near impossible to actually run anything on it unless you somehow get your hands on an unprovisioned/unlocked SoC.

The HLOS (High-level OS) running on the Hexagon requires every "applet" to be signed by either the Qualcomm root cert or the OEMs cert. Usually, every phone has a set of generic Hexagon applets (or "skeleton libs") that are provided and signed by the OEM, which seem to be freely usable to offload some computational work to the DSP (mainly FastCV et al - https://developer.qualcomm.com/sites/default/files/docs/qual...).
Those of course come with their own bugs: https://research.checkpoint.com/2021/pwn2own-qualcomm-dsp/

On some older SoCs, you were able to use a TOCTOU (Time of check to time of use) exploit to bypass the signature check by patching the applet loader shim in-memory, once it itself got authenticated: https://github.com/geohot/freethedsp/ (I have personally ported this to the msm8953, and it seems to work)
