Google is trying to be an answer engine.

No, I do want search!

It’s very rare that I just want an answer. If I do I can usually ask the Google assistant.

But Google has indeed worked hard to become an answering engine at which point it can and is getting disrupted by a whole host of alternatives such as ChatGPT, voice commands, etc.

- As for spying, I don't think any system could be considered safe, not just the Chinese (don't take nude pictures of yourself, don't hold sensitive conversations when your phone is with you, etc., and that's it)

- I've never owned a Xiaomi, they are not the only Chinese Android brand either, but I hear similar complaints for western-made UIs all the time, too

- No idea, all of my phones have been from the lower-tier, but getting a phone from a Western make doesn't mean it won't be assembled in China

- Western bans: to me, that's a plus for Huawei, as you can get your Google-free smartphone without voiding your warranty and/or having to struggle with countless problems (i.e., LineageOS)
How Database Replication Works Under the Hood
The passengers also upgrade their screens every few years. How will that work in a car?

These are just gratuitous technology, that will live in a very harsh environment (many people have to park outside in winter cold or summer sun). It is nothing more than a 1,000 new possible points of failure, yet it will only be repairable as a total system replacement. And after five years, forget it -- the parts will no longer be available.

Car makers brag about their manufacturing being "zero landfill" and are trying for "zero carbon" but how does that square with adding all this unnecessary crap?
it does seem like there's been an uptick in "incidents" involving boeing planes, in particular, and maybe that's because of the fallout of the merger between boeing and md (https://qz.com/1776080/how-the-mcdonnell-douglas-boeing-merg...), and even then i'm not sure if that's _statistically_ accurate. this does not, however, invalidate the CP premise that it's generally safe to fly, even on the Max series and that is largely because this part of the process is working (grounding, checking, remediating) even if the development and manufacturing processes have failed.

however, i'll also agree with you that being subject to the effects of iterative improvement is uncomfortable in the air transport context.
gotcha, it’s cool that you’re able to get such good performance out of a WiFi 5 AP! And yep, OpenSpeedTest is nice!

Boeings stock price is down 18% this month. Sure it's not because of Kayak, this is simply another data point that consumers are wary of Boeing. Boeing is massively fucking up and even though procurement cycles are extremely long, it definitely will have an impact. They are a plane and rocket company that can't build planes or rockets
It's refreshing to see a story like this make it to the top page on hackernews
nah. "what's wrong with our culture" isn't hard to figure out -- sedentary lifestyles, car centric culture that preempts biking, walking and activity, and lots of cheap, fatty foods. we're seeing that happen in other countries, too; the US just got there first.

rates of diabetes and obesity are getting pretty high in other countries, too. the UK is pretty fat, and much of Europe is heading that direction. behind the US, but it's trending that way.

The middle east is fat as fuck, but is mitigated by overall poverty and high temperatures -- life in a sauna helps drop weight.

China has seen a surge diabetes, as has several other Asian countries.
iPhone and AirPods are mature mass market items with historically juicy margin and volume. I don't think it's appropriate to compare Vision Pro on this basis because AR/VR just isn't there yet in terms of market adoption. Even as it matures, it may never grow to the size of the smartphone market, but right now the upside is undeniable. Playing in that market competitively will require a large ongoing investment for years, perhaps decades, so I'm more inclined to judge Vision Pro on the qualitative feedback. The preorders just represent short-term hype which is 90% Apple brand and marketing, so I'm not reading too much into them either way.

> A tiny, tiny % of the population controlling a ridiculous amount of wealth, is a recent phenomenon for which there is no need, no good reason, and basically everyone is worse off as a result.

This is a misconception. A powerful ruler might make his subjects worse off by plundering their wealth. But many of the billionaires on modern lists of wealthy folks grew their wealth via entrepreneurship that made others vastly better off. This is one of the key differences between the ancient pre-industrial and the modern world. Prior to the industrial age it simply wasn't feasible to create such amounts of wealth on a sustained basis, though a skilled craftsman would've been relatively well off.
If you have the process and technique down you might end up just sticking with what you're using. My understanding is the benefit of uncle ben is its reliability for beginners, not so much yield or quality. I think there are also newer & better variants of it anyway? But yeah look around.

So yeah, fungus. Funny enough I pretty much only grow koji and some other food molds. I like to talk shop with mushroom growers though. The techniques are really different but we share a lot of experiences and... mindset. People end up with an almost spiritual admiration for the mold. Which is self-evident for psilocybes of course, but koji growers seem to develop it too.
We both agree that they didn’t know the tool, but GP seems to blame them for deciding to use the tool without training. I was more or less defending their choice to use git, while also acknowledging the potential of a tool like Diversion. My interpretation of GP was that it doubled down on git, while claiming that anyone using git without understanding it is “doing it wrong”, which I agree with in principle but not in practice, as I argued in my initial comment.
> After all failures are money wasted.

sometimes, you have to test ideas out to make sure the idea you are currently going with is the best one. sure, maybe it's working now, but is there a way to do it cheaper, faster, safer? sometimes, you have to spend the money to test to find out. sometimes, those tests don't work. are those tests failures, or are they just reinforcement that the current idea is the better option?

What are you talking about? Copyright was created to solve real problems for people who create things. Patents too. We could argue how much protection people should get but at the end of the day it makes sense that the people who put in work need to get paid.

>profit by way of merely owning capital also has no moral or logical basis

Speaking of propaganda, do you hear yourself? I get what you're saying but in practice there is rarely such a thing. Most of the cases that anti-capitalist types point to are not real "something for nothing" scenarios. The two that stand out are loans and IP. If you own IP, then you have to expend money creating, acquiring, defending, implementing, and selling it (repeat for all attempts to make something that do not lead to profit, which are basically R&D). If you loan money to people, you are deprived of that money and put it at risk at the same time. All of these are services to society that demand compensation, at least if what you're offering up is worth it to people.

In the real world, advocating for pay without work is advocating for slavery. Work must always be done, and if it is so pleasant that it demands no compensation, then it isn't work. The trouble most people have is they only see results and they don't see the work and investment it took to get those results.

It is easy to overestimate the competence at these regional sales offices. I visited one a few years ago (similar product, Japanese HQ).

I'll be honest, with the knowledge they are building their own type system and not adopting typescript, my interest went to near 0. Typescript has been a delight to use and migrating off of it is a non-starter. It will take a lot to get me to move off of using typescript even in greenfield projects.

Cancer vaccine with minimal side effects nearing Phase 3 clinical trials
Generally there is no option to do this in a US residence. The drop to the house coming from the transformer only provides two single phase 120V to neutral circuits, which can be combined to provide 240V. Commercial and industrial sites will often have higher voltage 3-phase available.

In practice, this isn't an issue. Induction devices sold in the US for residential use simply are designed to work on 120V or 240V. The heat output for the 120V ones too limited for some purposes, but once you are up to 240V it's generally not a limiting factor.

Apps will follow if the userbase is there. Apple has apparently pre-sold 180k of these so far. I would bet the vast majority of the ones that bought are developers.

The whole tech industry has shifted to focus on profits and optimization. Building apps for a brand new, unproven ecosystem, when you're doing layoffs every 2 months, does not seem like that great of an idea. And if Apple wanted more apps, they could always incentivize developers with $$$.

> No, this is not simply "long-form", this is "in medias res"

This is like saying: This is not simply a mug, this is porcelain. Narrative and narrative technique are two different things, just like the function of an object is different thing than the material of the object.

It's also probably just a hook, not a full "in media res".
Apple's device sales seem to have largely plateaued though. Id say any new device growth is pretty significant for them.
Yep, plus in the end properly maintaining older vehicles is considerably better for the environment than mining, processing, and building new vehicles from scratch.

> I think people tend to think of worst-case scenarios with minimalist screen-centric approaches and pretend like they are frequent occurrences.

But, they are. In intermittent rain one wants to be able to adjust the wiper speed, not press a button on the left stalk then have to touch a tiny button on the touch screen. Likewise, if the windshield is fogging up, the last thing one wants to do is to have to look away from the road and navigate the climate controls on the touch screen.
No, they have talked about it in interviews. They've repeatedly said they don't have remote drivers. They have "remote assistance" that the car can call to ask questions if it's confused. You can tell when this is happening in the car, because it plays a message like "our team is working to get you moving". It's rare, maybe once every few rides. There is no way there's one overseer per car.

"In medias res" vs "longform" is an important distinction, as you've highlighted. As the parent commented, a lot of this has to do with how we frame the article via the title. The title sets the expectation for the article. In this case, it provides a misleading ethos for discerning audiences.

In museums I do a first visit enjoying the place and the pieces of art. Then I do a second visit just to take pictures of what gave me more emotions (keeping the art and its label), so that I can watch them back, or just know I have them saved somewhere.

Some people may think "who is this weird guy taking pictures but not enjoying the place"...

And I enjoy a lot museums where pictures aren't allowed, there are no irritating shutter sound effects that are so easy to avoid, just by putting the phone on vibrate.

Unfortunate, maybe I am wrong and some day in the future some more convincing argumentation will change your opinion towards considering at least some anarchistic arguments.

I greatly prefer my car with a large touchscreen and few physical buttons on the center console to my car with a lot of physical buttons and a small touchscreen. So long as all the things I should actually be messing with while driving are physical, I prefer having the larger screen.

The example of my car with a lot of buttons:

https://media.ed.edmunds-media.com/hyundai/santa-fe/2017/oem...

What benefit do I get from PHONE being a physical button? Or INFO, or SETUP, or BLUELINK? I shouldn't be using those buttons while the vehicle is in motion. I shouldn't even really be using MAP or NAVI or MEDIA while the vehicle is in motion either, I should be adjusting such things while the car is stopped. And the SEEK/TRACK buttons and volume knob are actually redundant, those controls are also on the wheel so I shouldn't be using those while driving either. And what, I'm going to navigate folders of media while I'm driving with the FILE/ENTER knob?

If the car is stopped, why should I care if its physical or not? I'd prefer the larger screen to actually see more of my media or the navigation or what not when stopped. All these buttons just get in the way when stopped, they're not helpful in the slightest.

And then when I'm actually moving I'd prefer the larger screen as then the navigation and map is much larger so its way easier to understand what its telling me with a fast glance if I'm unsure about the next turn.

About the only buttons I actually need to use here when the vehicle is in motion is the defroster. Everything else here is stuff I probably shouldn't bother touching while in motion. The climate control is auto, so I only end up touching it a few times a year.

I do understand the other poster here talking about a convertible though. Driving when its cold out with the top down I'd probably prefer more physical buttons, but this isn't a convertible.

In the end, all the controls I should actually be using while driving should be on or directly around the steering wheel. I shouldn't have to touch anything in the center console while the vehicle is moving. Ideally, I shouldn't have to take my hands off the wheel at all while the car is in motion.

As for digital gauges vs having needles, I'd probably always take a decent digital gauge. The needles were already digital for decades so any talk about reliability or vendor lock or maintainability is moot. They take up more space than just showing a number. Combined with the fact the digital gauge also shows other useful information like the next turn information for navigation, LKA information, auto-cruise information, etc its way more useful than just a big circle vaguely showing my speed and a big circle showing me RPMs which isn't really necessary 99% of the time in an automatic. There's a slight argument to be made about brightness with night vision but they're usually able to dim pretty dark when you're truly out there. I haven't had a problem seeing while driving around at night even far out in the country with no streetlights.
They probably have records for each individual (not just last four digits of CC); I don't think it's hipaa violation as long as the records don't contain personally identifying information.
Or you can just plug it in to your wall?
Oh I didn't realize they were still adding APIs to AppKit. That's cool.

Yea I mean the ObjC vs Swift thing.... a matter of preference. I trust Steve Jobs more than I trust Tim Cook. I hate the feature creep in Swift. I hate Swift optionals. ObjC compiles faster than Swift. The ObjC ABI/runtime is superior to the Swift ABI/runtime (which allows for cool stuff like https://cycript.org). I like the dynamic typing a lot. Managing headers is a non-issue for me, I just consolidate everything into one monolithic header file.

I've worked in pretty big ObjC codebases (1M+ lines) so I know most of the tricks to deal with complexity. For Swift, max I've dealt with is 100k lines and it was crippled with tech debt. Frankly, the other engineers on the team were terrible, so maybe that's why. They abused the shit out of RxSwift and refused to use the `!` force-unwrap optional feature
