>I think the part that was really upsetting is they crushed real good objects. After all of that talks about climate friendly.

Considering how much global e-waste and environmental damage, companies like Apple(and others of their size) are responsible for with their products, destroying a few objects for an ad is like spitting in the ocean in the scheme of things.

People complaining about the waste generated from this ad, are really missing the big picture, and is one of the reason companies like Apple mostly focus on posturing the image of climate friendliness and environmental sustainability, rather than actually enforcing it across their entire supply chain where it actually makes the big difference.

"Sure, the minerals in our devices are mined by kids in Congo with chemicals dangerous for the environment, and assembled by workers in sweatshop factories with suicide nets, but our posh donut-shaped HQ in Cupertino runs on 100% renewables and serves only vegan food with soy lattes, that's how environmentally conscious we are here at Hooli." </gavin_belson.jpg>

^Because this greenwashing is what people buy into from advertising.

Reminds me when Formula 1 switched form V10 engines to hybrid V6 to be more "environmentally friendly", when actually, the gas burned by those V10 engines during races only accounted for <0,2% of the total emissions, being far offset by the massive emissions of transporting that entire circus around the planet bouncing across continents all year round, yet nobody addressed that, just the engines for some cheap greenwashing.

I liked it, for the same reason I’ll occasionally watch videos on YouTube of things getting crushed in a hydraulic press. Morbid curiosity, I guess. It also looks like a decent amount of craftsmanship went into shooting and editing it. I would be curious to know how much was real vs. CGI.

I can understand how people could find it distasteful with its almost pornographic depiction of destruction. But still, it feels like people are almost going out of their way to get offended by this.

That being said, I think Apple is smart to apologize. It doesn’t cost them anything, it softens some of the negativity surrounding the story, and probably got the new iPads an extra day of coverage in the news cycle.
Recently I launched my SAAS product EasyFrontend on ProductHunt and achieved #1 Product Of the Day.
The estimations are not based on numerics, but rather reasoning. For example, since real-valued polynomials are stable under complex conjugation, each complex root must have a complex conjugate. For polynomials with three distinct roots then, one must be real. This is just an EXAMPLE of the kind of reasoning that can be used to infer whether a root is purely real or complex.

As for formulas: no, there is no GENERAL formula for the quintic polynomial or higher. General formulas only exist for polynomials of degree four or lower.

Of course, there are SPECIFIC formulas for specific KINDS of higher-degree polyomials. But for the general quintic and higher, nothing. That's already been proved classically.

It's interesting seeing non-immigrants on HN trying to extrapolate immigrant choices as to why they move where they do, and by interesting I mean very reductive and insulting.

I'm the child of immigrants, and my family decided to move to the US over Western Europe or Singapore specifically because the opportunities are greater and Americans are way more open-minded about immigrants mixing their home culture with their adopted culture.

At the end of the day, European countries will have to make the choice about whether they want to remain monoethnic entities (which itself was a result of ethnic cleansing during and after WW2) or whether they are open to a multicultural identity.

There's no point for skilled immigrants to go to Europe if they have the opportunity or pathway to PR or Citizenship in North America as salaries are higher, opportunities are greater, and the population is way less xenophobic (p.s. r/Canada is NOT representative of Canadians - and I lived in parts of BC where the Reform Party was extremely popular back in the day)

Why would a Mexican Engineer want to move to Spain in order to earn peanuts and get called a "Sudaca" when they can earn a higher salary in El Paso or Dallas and still be a couple hours from home.

Ime, the personal ranking of countries for Asian immigrants (South, East, and Southeast) is as follows:

Tier 1 - US, Canada (backdoor to US via TN)

Tier 2 - UK, Australia, NZ, SG, Ireland, HK (before NSL)

Tier 3 - Rest of Western Europe

Tier 4 - East Asia, the Gulf, Malaysia

Most European countries are simply consolation prizes for immigrants. Plenty of people from my region of South Asia worked in the UK and Italy 30-50 years ago, but now prefer Canada and the US instead, or if they're educated staying in India.
They probably meant that their country takes in too many unskilled immigrants, not highly skilled immigrants like doctors, engineers and so on.
It's obviously a lossy compression then.

Not sure if you're talking about WoW, but around that time ago an update to the game did exactly this change (and possibly more).

An interesting side-effect of this was that before the change if something stalled the TCP stream, the game would hang for a while then very quickly replay all the missed incoming events (which was very often you being killed). After the change you'd instead just be disconnected.

I live permanently in Airbnbs for 5+years now and have none of these... Oh wait the sink fell right out of the counter while I was washing dishes in my last flat in Buenos Aires, week before last.

Well, I bought some glue and I glued it back in. I didn't have to do that, if I have real problems Airbnb has always refunded me, and hosts have always been great... But i didn't mind.

Was your trip in USA? I get a weird kind of feeling that Airbnb is awful in the states... But I'm not sure that's an Airbnb problem specifically. I feel like in the states it's a business, where the rest of the world is more easy going?

> not highly skilled immigrants like doctors, engineers and so on.

If you have the skills for above as an immigrant, you can command way better salaries in the US and Canada, or stay in your home country.

There's no reason to immigrate to Western Europe except as a consolation prize.

Amen, glad to have never used AirBnB. I also often use booking.com, but you should know they regularly f over smaller businesses that use them to host their rooms. I generally stick to big chains when using their platform, or use it as 'hotel google' before following up and negotiating a price directly with a smaller hotel. Much like Uber squeezes small business (menu items often 20-30% higher on Uber menu vs real menu) booking.com exploits the smaller accommodation providers so they appreciate direct bookings.
>But it feels like people are almost going out of their way to get offended by this.

After all the news about this, I finally watched it. I don't get why people are complaining. It's either a ploy by Apple marketing to get people to watch it, or manufactured outrage by news sites trying to get clicks.

What an artificial world we live in today.

For me the disgust was purely in waste of perfectly good items.

I've thought about this too. But I can't even tell what would be the good default. At low load events seem nicer, but at high load polling seems necessary?
It's othering to the extreme seeing people get so riled up by this.

For pointing out that number. I didn’t see that somehow.

I was referring to this:

> In the other, more surprising technique, the fabric is held still to suppress vibrations that are key to the transmission of sound. This prevents noise from being transmitted through the fabric and quiets the volume beyond. This second approach allows for noise reduction in much larger spaces like rooms or cars.

I'm a mix/master engineer, and I just skimmed the paper to look for attenuation potential of this new material. It looks like they only tested above 100 HZ, which is still alright for conversation, but not for professional recording studios.

As you can imagine, the low frequency attenuation isn't great. But the performance of higher frequency attenuation is pretty good. I think this material would work well for meeting rooms, and perhaps restaurants. Not for recording studios.
It sounds like a diplomatic way to say that many people wouldn't view a Google UX certification highly, lol.
My first thought was that airplanes need noise canceling for the engine sounds. There's a real difference in a long flight with and without noise canceling headphones. Effective (better?) noise cancelation for the whole cabin would be impactful.

Not everything is about money. You have way more security in Western Europe comparing to the US. Also, people don't want to move too far from their families.

SK Logic in Egglog
My, admittedly, not so big experience with std::ranges is that they generate an abnormal binary bloat in comparison to the traditional code, so, I also tried to argue against their usage in one my ex-teams who, paradoxically, wanted to achieve tight execution on platforms with tight resources.

Another paradox was that the exceptions were disabled because of reasons while at the same time std::ranges (range-v3) implementation did not support this. I wonder how Google solved this problem since AFAIK they also disallow exceptions.

The apartment above mine is listed on AirBnB. Guests are often causing nuisance and the rest of the residents decided to intervene after we had to call the police. Turns out, the complaints of that sort are outsourced to the company who doesn't have access to the AirBnB database and are trained to make you go away. They requested photos of the inside of the property and other proof that it is listed on AirBnB. We couldn't provide them so AirBnB "support" closed the case.
We've used it. It's useful to define the contract between teams.

So you have 2 teams do a meeting, we work out a contract we like, dump that into a jsonschema and you can enforce by unit tests that schema is respected on each side (producer/consumer)

> cubic stack blowup when deeply nesting some range adapters like std::views::filter

I have no doubt this observation is true, but I haven't been able to picture it, can somebody explain? I don't think ELI5 (let alone an explanation suitable for a Golden Retriever) will work here, but in terms that say a C programmer would grasp. What exactly gets shoved onto the stack when we're using a std::views::filter ?
Yeah, but I don't think that can be achieved by applying a static voltage. I think it'd operate pretty similarly to regular nose cancelling where it requires a dynamic signal, but the goal to is keep the fabric stationary rather than to produce a vibration that negates some incident sound at some position. Although maybe that really is as easy as hooking the piezo fibers up to a low-impedance constant voltage source?

My view of Go went from being annoyed to "they picked their tradeoffs carefully and consciously and then leaned into them hard to squeeze every ounce of upside out of them" and while it's still not really my preferred aesthetic I now have a lot of respect for the design as a design process.

Meanwhile, getting addicted to scheme many years ago is a lot of why I still mostly write perl, I need 'my' (i.e. expression/block level scoping and you actually have to declare your variables to scope them before use) and closures for the style of programming I like to do.

Rules out python, ruby, and pre-ES6 JS, though JS with 'let' and arrow functions is pretty survivable and will be even more so if the 'do' and 'match' proposals land.

(note: I know go has :=, and while I'm ambivalent about the syntax, the semantics are pretty much what I expect; the above was talking about scripting class languages though hence not mentioning it there)

Devil's advocate: RAM on SOCs is not upgradable due to technical limitations on frequency and latency needing the RAM chips to be as close as possible to the CPU. You can't beat physics.

I do hold them accountable for the non-upgradable SSDs, which are not needed to be soldered to achieve their full speed, and slim PCB connectors for PCI-E speed connections do exist.
