That's not exactly true, unfortunately; because Apple's product line-up would be too easy to understand otherwise.

Only the couple of first generations of Beats products after the acquisition have used the Apple-branded SoCs.

The current line-up uses unnamed Beats-specific chip that has ~most (but not all!) of the same features as the W1/W2 on iOS.

From the current line-up, only Powerbeats Pro (2019) and Beats Flex (2020) use Apple branded-chip, and I'm under the impression that the newer models have more Android-specific niceties.

I would expect next refreshes of those Beats model to lose H1/W1/W2.

I just hate modern phones, all of them. I want an adequate one-hand screen size (~6"), a headphone jack, and an even camera bump (just so it lies flat on the table).

I love the pixel 8a, the size, curvature and camera bump seems ideal. Ofc they removed a freaking 3.5mm jack, but I can make a compromise here and buy 100 type-c to 3.5mm adapters, but I'm super disappointed with the new 9x series, they are now even more blocky and square-ish which i really don't like, plus no "a" model which is usually looking much better for me than the main one.

Does anyone know the phone which is small, has a headphone jack, even camera bump and is still buyable to this day?
Sorry to corner you here on unrelated topic, but I will take a chance on asking…

Why can I not pre pay my FastMail account? I have a three year subscription which ends in another 14 months. The UI indicates I will be auto renewed two days before my subscription ends. That is not a comforting margin for error in the event there is a billing issue for something as vital as email.

I can understand you do not want to let people pre-purchase infinite time, but you already offer the three year plan. Let me top it off well in advance of the expiration date, so I have ample time to resolve issues if they occur. Let me subscribe to an annual renewal, always maintaining a two year balance.

Coincidentally, checking my account now, I see my credit card on file is expired.
> Then you and the people you influence can continue to enjoy getting phished.

Yes, you are quite right (although I have never been phished). But the spirit of your answer is correct. But that was my point: there is no choice, except to be more tightly integrated into tech, which in my opinion is a horrible thing. Instead, we should lessen our dependence on technology so computer accounts aren't so important after all.

> Try to read up about a subject next time before you let your phantasy go wild and scare equally ignorant people away from more secure alternatives.

I am fully aware that passkeys are MORE secure. If you actually read my post, my argument was not TECHNOLOGICAL, but sociological: I argue merely that the tighter dependence on this technology is a bad thing sociologically, even if it is the RIGHT thing technologically.

My thesis is that passkeys are a symptom of tighter tech integration, perhaps an inevitable one. You are irate because passkeys are the better solution to a technical problem, but I nevertheless maintain that the existence of that technical problem itself is merely a side-effect of a much larger problem for society -- the dependence on a tightly-integrated vertical technology stack. So perhaps YOU should read into the subtelty of my argument before claiming that I am ignorant.
If this decision goes through, and you've ordered a Waymo through your Google account, and that Waymo car, say, hits you as it's parking - yes, likely the Google account terms of service would be found to apply. Which is insane, but such is a rigidly contractualistic society.
I like passkeys - as a second factor
Ozempic doesn't make you lose weight unless you do a diet. All it does is to make it easy to do a diet by suppressing the craving for food. So it's not like people are losing weight with ozempic while stuffing themselves with burgers.

As for exercise, it has many benefits but is a fairly minor contributor to weight loss. I am doing a bit of a hardcore diet at the moment (helped a ozempic competitor), lost 20kg/44lbs in 3 months, and I noticed no difference in change in weight whether I do 1h of exercise bike daily (max resistance) or whether I do a week without.

The plaintiff is arguing an equally absurd notion, that because they are suing on behalf of the estate, the estate never signed up for Disney+ because it didn't exist before the death.

So you know, it's all absurdity vs absurdity.

The reasonable human thing would be to say that an autosigned agreement should have a higher bar on terms and in particar no provision in it can be valid for irrelevant things to the immediate service at hand. (Several others have made the same conclusion.)
Thanks, but I don't think it's a fair description of what happened here. I'm a mathematician who noticed that the statement "The totality of all the observations we have cannot be explained in any other way" is obviously false.

Explaining is neither hard nor useful and it's not what science is normally concerned with. The goal is to predict new observations not to explain known ones.
I mean they they don't have to choose between "100% free forever" and "not free and literally kill the people who didn't pay in advance."

They could just leave it enabled for everyone, and then retroactively charge them for a (moderately hefty) 1 year subscription if they end up using it.

A fully bracketed prefix notation is unambiguous. It requires no knowledge of precedence rules. Small children can learn it. Your editor can indent it in a consistent way, no matter how you break it into multiple lines. You're almost never left wondering what element of the program is a child of what other element. You know the argument position of everything; there is no guesswork. If you misplace a parenthesis, the wrong indentation clues you in. Working with Lisp syntax requires few brain cycles; therefore, the syntax per se doesn't demand high intelligence.

If you can fog a mirror, you can probably edit Lisp.

Disney Springs is a shopping mall though. You don't need a ticket to visit. It's also a stretch to claim one agreed to certain terms of service by merely visiting a website.
You can achieve memoization of an expression inside a function without any global state and macros:

(defun compute-hash (key hash f)
"Get the value for KEY in HASH or compute it with F, enter into HASH and return."
(multiple-value-bind (val win)
(gethash key hash)
(if win
val
(setf (gethash key hash) (funcall f key)))))

(defun memoized (f)
(let ((cache (make-hash-table)))
(flet ((memo (x g) (compute-hash x cache g)))
(lambda (&rest args) (apply f #'memo args)))))

(defun fib (n)
(if (<= n 1)
n
(+ (fib (1- n)) (fib (- n 2)))))

;; MEMO is a function that takes a key and a computing function.
;; If a key has been memoized, it returns the cached value, otherwise it calls the computing
;; function with the key and caches the result.
(let ((example (memoized (lambda (memo x)
(format t "X: ~a~%" x)
(let ((result (funcall memo x #'fib)))
(format t "~a~%" (* 2 result)))))))
(trace fib)
(funcall example 5)
(funcall example 5)
(funcall example 5)
(untrace fib))

Paul Vixie notoriously included some text in an IETF draft which was of the "your first born is given to satan" type and called out all the "I have read the draft" people in a working group. Fair call. I hadn't read the draft so my first born was safe.
People genuinely believe it is actually Elon Musk | Jeff Bezos | Warren Buffet talking and endorsing investment schemes.

People put in $248 and "test" things out and see the same kinds of account details they see for their regular investments and bank accounts.

People can often withdraw small amounts from their test accounts and so they put in more, they see digital account balances showing returns from investment and so it goes.

It all looks legit until it isn't and there's no getting your money back.

Not everbody is an IT genius with a Fintech CV, nor is everybody dumber than a rock .. in the valley betwen is where these scams operate.

This goes back at least a year or three, a famous Australian multi billionaire mining magnate raised a stink about his image and voice featuring in faked "endorsement videos" .. along with several other well known Australian billionaires.

The prevalence of the phony ads prompted Andrew Forrest, an Australian billionaire whose videos were also used to create deepfake ads on Facebook, to file a civil lawsuit against Meta, its parent company, for negligence in how its ad business is run. He claimed that Facebook’s advertising business lured “innocent users into bad investments.”

Meta, which owns Facebook, said the company was training automated detection systems to catch fraud on its platform, but also described a cat-and-mouse game where well-funded scammers constantly shifted their tactics to evade detection.

The escalation to lawsuit on US soil is a recent event but the complaint has been made for a good while now.

While it might not be loopholes per se, but to disagree that current bench has grabbed the wheel and jerked hard is undeniable and you loose credibility yourself. I'm sorry you think semi-emotional pissed off commenting from someone that is very much IANAL, but it doesn't mean the actual subject isn't wrong. Just looking at it from an ethics viewpoint, they've made a mockery of everything they're supposed to stand for. But of course you'll just try to claim your comments are so much more well thought out and we can all try a little harder to be you.
When you have a potentially life-threatening allergy, everything involves calculations about potential risks and tradeoffs, all the way back up the supply chain to the farm.

Otherwise you're condemned to staying home with no social life, eating unprocessed basic food. And that's no way to live.

Even then, that's not risk free, either. I've had a severe peanut reaction to porridge I made from plain rolled oats, from a brand I'd been eating for years and trusted.

First sentence of the current top voted comment. What's constructive about that?

You could argue the rest of the comment makes up for it, but I don't agree. It reads like a standard negative rant against change to me. I don't see much constructive here.

For 99% of extensions it is not lucrative and probably nets 99% of developers a fat $0, because people view extensions as shit-tier fun little hobby scripts and so they built shit-tier extensions, or they build extensions that can’t be monetised.

But then you have smarter players (Honey, Grammarly) who realise that if you build extensions to their full potential, you can have a packet sniffing, network orchestrating, data harvesting, insanely powerful privileged web app that can do things most developers have never thought of.

So if you build these Uber extensions (Grammarly is the best example I think) you can make insane amounts of money with virtually no competition!

I’m all in on extensions. I’m currently building an LLM extension for developers that is a first in the market (unique concept) that is free in Beta, but a paid subscription once out of Beta. It is basically a super-privileged web app that is performing a useful function for devs that would be impossible for a normal website/service.

This means it has login/signup as well, which is an extremely rare sight for an extension (Because it’s much, much, much harder to handle auth in an extension. Seriously extension auth is horrible to implement and I think I’m maybe the only dev in the world with a working Google Sign In inside an extension)

But also the reason you don’t see many monetised extensions is because it’s extremely hard to securely setup auth and stripe within an extension, as they are client only.

So my powerful extensions are backed by things like cloud functions etc for some functionality and for checking auth/db-access/subscriptions
>Finamp is a great app, it's well developed and works far better than the official Jellyfin app/site imo.

I agree! It worked so nicely that I'm going to expose jellyfin to the internet so I can access my full music collection via my phone (currently I have about 1/3 of it -- which was all that I could comfortably fit on my phone's storage).

Thanks again for the suggestions -- it opened up (with jellyfin/finamp) a new use case for me!

In the UK those products are only available to people with a BMI > 30. If you have 20 or 30 kg to lose it is simply not true that most of the weight loss is muscle mass. The fat is visible and the fat loss is also visible. You might lose a bit of muscle mass, and doing exercise at the same time is good. But between the loss of a bit of muscle mass during the diet vs remaining obese, it is an easy trade off from a health point of view.
Mostly because of the Maps. It's not trivial to have accurate Maps of all the world. Google Maps is, for example, quite less accurate here un Switzerland compared to UK, where I have also seen it.

Given that we're talking about a driver assistance system, I assume the quality of the maps can hugley affect the quality of the system. I may be wrong of course.

What qualifies someone as a “top tech reviewer”? It’s a phone for gods sake and some random YouTubers opinion isn’t anymore valid than a random Hackernews commentators opinion.

If it’s an extension-website pairing it may be harder to market in general because it’s a complex architecture for users (need to do 2 things)

But stand-alone extensions are pretty easy to market.

For example my most popular extension had about 700_000 users with minimal marketing, I have another extension with 10_000 users with no marketing, another with 5000 users and no marketing, another with 1000 users (and it’s a pretty crappy one, my first) and no marketing

I’ve only been a web dev for 2 years, and building extensions for about 1.5 years
That's disingenuous. Menu being on Disney's website makes Disney more than a landlord, more like a service provider. Is Disney responsible for what's on its site or not? What if the menu had some hate speech or terrorism?

Sequences can approach things. The sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, 0.9999 and so on asymptotically approaches 1. The difference between 1 and the Nth term in the sequence is 1e-N, which goes to 0 with N.

0.999...[forever] is not a sequence, it is a number. Numbers have values, they don't approach things. The misleading part is that 'forever' is not something about evolution or the passage of time. It's not 'happening' or 'sequential' like the sequence. There is no 'and then another 9'. All the 9s are really there, at once. And it is closer to 1 than any term in the sequence. Since the sequence gets closer and closer to 1, converging to it asymptotically, 0.999...[forever] cannot differ from 1; if it did the sequence wouldn't converge.
They do align themselves but, for me at least, it can take a little while. Aiming the mark downwards really speeds things up.
At first I tended to agree with that notion - most restaurants are staffed by people who don't get paid enough to really care, and even if they did, humans are fallible.

Then I realized that even cooking at home, you're using ingredients from some random factories that are similarly staffed by people in the same boat capable of making similar mistakes.

I have no idea what the perfect solution is, as personally growing every single thing you eat(or drink) seems absurd if not impossible.

> If they are not happy with how an agency is acting - they have the clear and obvious ability to amend the laws that govern that agency.

Changing the law requires a majority in the House and Senate and either a veto-proof majority or the signature of the President. It's not supposed to require only the President.

But now you have a problem. What happens if the law that actually passed is ambiguous? Who resolves the ambiguity?

The courts get the first pass. Then if there is consensus they got it wrong, Congress can change the law. If there isn't consensus they got it wrong then the elected branches are deadlocked and the courts act as the tiebreaker until they reach consensus.

Making the President the tiebreaker is giving way too much power to one person.
It's also important to note that Disney is saying that the plaintiff bought the Disneyland tickets through this Disney+ account, and that the purchase agreement re-iterated the general Disney+ terms as well. So the connection isn't "he happened to be a subscriber of Disney's streaming service" as the original article makes it sound. It's "he clicked agree on these terms when he bought access to Disneyland, where the restaurant was".

IIRC, when my payment lapsed due to an expired card, I got plenty of time to fix the issue. In my case, the payment is taken from the card a whole month and a half before the invoice is generated (typically a different fiscal year, smh).
The short answer is our new billing platform (Paddle), which all new users are on and we're moving everyone to, doesn't support it. (We're moving from a home-grown billing solution to simplify our global tax compliance and give us support for more important things like billing in local currency.)

You can hack around it by converting to monthly billing (which will give you a credit), then immediately convert back to 3-year subscription (your credit will be used, so you'll only pay the difference). The end result is essentially identical to an early renewal.

I'd also like to reassure you that we don't immediately delete your account if renewal fails! We have a slow degradation process that gradually disables sending, then receiving, then finally access to anything other than billing if the account continues to go unpaid over several weeks. But our support team can (and do) delay this process if for whatever reason you are having difficulty making a payment and reach out to us.
I am not surprised that an elderly man fell for this.

My mum would have done exactly the same thing.

At 80 with early onset dementia she would fall for any scam.

She even paid for a monthly PC tech magazine that got delivered every month. She couldnt even manage a dumb phone let alone understand the first thing about tech.

Any smart talking sales person could get her to sign up for anything, she had an over abundance of trust and she certainly would not be able to to tell the difference between an deepfake or a real person.
