The small phone in general seems dead. Android phones don't even have good small options anymore.

I'm hoping that folding phones are here to save the day in a "the king is dead long live the king moment" as screens have become so big, they're now overflowing to being small again.

Do not use those cables under any circumstances. They're not safe. The USB spec is not designed to accommodate chargers like that and they're a fire/device ruining hazard. Get a good usb-c cable from a reputable manufacturer.

Hackernews comment that put it better than me. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35436727

Did the verge seriously cite a single hackernews comment as a source?

"There is a growing chorus of complaints that Google is not as accurate, as competent, as dedicated to search as it once was"

The word "growing" is a link to hackernews

They didn't. They called it "Dropbox Advanced for businesses" and whenever they mention storage it's always in the context of it being for team collaboration or documents.

"As much space as you need. Get as much space as your team needs for storage and collaboration."

> Dropbox prices are pretty good. I was looking at even AWS s3 _glacier_ and it seems way more expensive.

That's because glacier stores exactly what you tell it to store. Dropbox is taking advantage of a lot of compression techniques to keep their storage volume down. For example, if two users upload the exact same file twice, they can just store it only once (they can also do this for chunks for files that are identical).

> Does this mean that if everyone used their entire capacity it's like a bank run and Dropbox goes out of business? Or is storage actually cheap and AWS makes big margins on it?

I don't know about a bank run, but Dropbox would most likely go out of business eventually if everyone used their full capacity and they didn't adjust their pricing structure. There's most likely some customers they take losses on to keep their pricing structure simple.

You definitely can if they're blatantly not using the product as designed. If I offer "unlimited pdf storage" and then people start encoding petabytes of videos as PDFs, that's abusing the system. Dropbox for business is for business documents, not for crypto miners

> There's something abrasive about implying that customers paying and using capabilities of their highest tier as non-genuine.

I disagree. Their website makes it abundantly clear that this product is for employee productivity. The people doing this are well aware that what they're doing is hacky and costing Dropbox lots of money.

They need to make this warning more prominent throughout their website. The main site, honeycode.aws, doesn't mention this at all until the user tries to create an account. Someone can easily waste a few hours reading their documentation and marketing materials before learning the product is deprecated

The ability to get huge amounts of VRAM/$ is what I find incredibly interesting. A lot of diffusion techniques are incredibly VRAM intensive and high VRAM consumer cards are rare and expensive. I'll gladly take the slower speeds of an APU if it means I can load the entire model in memory instead of having to offload chunks of it.

That's a wide, wide net.

Why is the immediate assumption this was done intentionally and not a temporary outage? It more than likely is, but it's awful journalism to see an issue in a website and conclude that was an intentional issue targeting websites musk doesn't like. Get some facts. If Amazon delays someone's delivery, it doesn't means that Amazon is targeting that person

Again, I never said it was the standard. I was saying why 1 hour offsets make more sense than 15 minutes or two hours. I never said different offsets don't exist, I said why they make less sense

Doesn't it?

I was explaining why 1 hour as the standard makes sense instead of 30 minutes or 2 hours. The :45 time zones would still be an issue for 30 minute intervals and :30 and :45 are still an issue for 2 hour intervals

Won't people just end up coming up with their own pseudo time zones anyways? If I'm in New York and I'm calling someone in Seattle, aren't I gonna have to just mentally subtract 3 or so hours anyways?

1 hour is easy to remember, makes the math easier, and not so far apart that it creates radically different concepts of time for people on the extreme ends.

With one hour time zones:

* If someone is 3 time zones ahead, they're 3 hours ahead

* There are 24 time zones and 360 degrees neatly divides by 24

* 2 hours between time zones means that within a time zone, the sun rises on one side at 8 am and on the other side at 10 am.

You didn't respond to any of my points at all. One area being at risk of something doesn't lower the risk in a different area.

I understand how wet bulb temperature works just fine. You didn't need to write a snarky response to engage in this discussion.

Now include climate change raising the temperature and changing the length and severity of monsoon season, continued development raising the heat island effect.

It doesn't matter what the average wet bulb temperature over the entire coty over a long period of time. It matters what the peak wet bulb temperature is for significant number of vulnerable people. The wet bulb temperature only has to get very high once to kill a large swath of people.

I understand just fine the wet bulb temperature has been within safe levels for the vast majority of people so far. My concern is about the future.

The wet bulb temperature of Phoenix still gets very high. Last July, there was an average wet bulb temperature of 73 degrees Fahrenheit. 95 degrees will kill a healthy human, it takes much less to kill a vulnerable person or someone performing manual labor. Climate change is only going to raise that number.

What? That doesn't make any sense at all. The whole point of wet bulb temperature is to adjust for humidity. Also only 33% of Phoenix homes have a pool. Using a pool as a solution to prevent people from dying is a "let them eat cake" idea

I haven't formed an opinion on the matter yet, but I do think there's a large difference between it being too cold and too hot.

If I'm too cold and my power goes out I have a lot of options to survive. I can put on more clothes, get under a blanket, light my furniture on fire, etc

If I'm too hot and my power goes out, I die. Once the wet bulb temperature gets above a certain level in shade, there's nothing that can be done to stop me from dying except Air Conditioning.

Or they typed up their responses in a different text editor and copy and pasted from that?

This article is complete bunk. The researchers used a "chatgpt detector" which as we've seen over and over in academia, do not work. This study is completely unfounded.

God I'm choking on the irony of an article about the dangers of using AI to train AI based on a study that used AI to detect AI

Yes, because I'm not a company.

It's the same reason why if I pay my nephew $5 to mow my lawn, I'm not violating minimum wage laws.

The law in the United states is that employers may not tell contractors how to do their job or else they'll be considered employees. I'm not an employer.

> Would anybody ask "How many eyes do you need to drive a car?".

I think this is an oversimplification. People don't ask that question because humans have many many more senses they drive with than just our eyes. Humans even have accelerometers. If someone said "I'm deaf, blind in one eye, and can't sense acceleration" people would probably ask if they are fit to drive. Just being deaf is enough to start that conversation. The AARP even mentions that if someone is deaf, they should seriously consider not driving. The conversation of sensor fusion is important because humans require sensor fusion to be effective drivers too.

Imagine you own a store. Every week 2 people come in. They talk and shop for a long time. You spend a lot of money showing them all the products and answering their questions. One of the two spends always buys a ton of stuff and the other one never buys anything. You realize you can save a lot of time and money by banning the other person since they never buy anything. Next week, neither of them come in.

Thats reddit. The people that use the first party app and click ads and make money do it because of the content created by both the first party and third party app users.

Whether it's good and whether it's fair are different criteria. It would be incorrect to say low capital gains taxes are bad, but that's not what the previous commenter said. They said they're not fair and I cannot think of a legitimate defense to low capital gains taxes being fair. For example, it may or may not be good to steal all the money from the richest man in the world and give it to the poorest, but it's absolutely not fair.

* user posts anonymous review

* Company tells Glassdoor the review is false and to take it down

* Glassdoor says the review is from an anonymous user and not them, so they should sue the user * Company asks for the name of the user so they can sue them for libel.

* Glassdoor refuses to turn over the user because it ruins the anonymity

* Company sues Glassdoor for libel because they refuse to produce proof they didn't create the libel. Glassdoor now has to face the lawsuit or turn over the user and destroy the anonymous premise of their website thats fundamental to their business model

I found their comment actually insightful and I don't think they deserve that sarcasm.

> Sorry, the No Screens Cafe doesn’t have wi-fi. Maybe try the Cowork Cafe next door.

It's interesting that sometime in the 2000s, there became an expectation that coffee shops became a workplace. I can't think of another food service business where the expectation is that anyone can come in, buy a single item, demand the wifi password, and work from that space for multiple hours.

> IRS is the one criminal cartel you can’t mess with

Many actual cartels literally behead people.
