hungryforcodes··on Apple finally put USB-C in new iPhone, but limited to 23-year-old USB 2.0 speeds
So just remove data transfer all together then it's added expense...
hungryforcodes··on Apple finally put USB-C in new iPhone, but limited to 23-year-old USB 2.0 speeds
The photos the iPhone 6 took were fine and image stabilized. Why so we need a better camera?

I mean, you're going to put to market a $700 phone and cant upgrade one chip on it to do USB3?

Really!

hungryforcodes··on Networking for introverts
Introverts are generally analytical and try to take in everything and understand it. Extroverts not so much, they just kind of often do this stream of consciousness thing.

So introverts don't really get tired because they lack social skills and are trying -- but because that it takes alot of mental effort to continuously integrate all this new information.

If what you were saying is true then introverts would be less introverted over time as they practiced social skills but the opposite is often true.

Also if people tell you they are "tired" by social contact -- there isn't much you can do about it. Whether you believe it or not makes absolutely no difference to introverts. :)

No this has nothing to do with introversion. It has nothing to do with social skills or confidence. Most introverts are actually quite charming one on one.

For introverts social contact is simply EXHAUSTING. So there is a high cost to every social interaction. Hence why they avoid parties, or responding to your messages or any of the other things that extorverts seem to think are so "fun". I wish extroverts would understand this...

hungryforcodes··on Webb Discovers Methane, Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere of K2-18B
We'd need some fast tech for sure. However, what is also interesting is that the light from it is only 124 years old. So the planet is still very similar today probably.

Everyone is using Google Slides though now, no? So much so that my boss always says "Prepare some slides for the meeting" and not "Prepare a power point".
hungryforcodes··on Australia to give cats a curfew because they are murdering so many other animals
I find the title and article really strange. Murder is specifically defined as the UNLAWFUL killing of a HUMAN BEING.

Murder basically is a legal definiton. Anything else is just killing. And I don't think this definition applies to cats at all.

"Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human with malice aforethough" (1)

hungryforcodes··on The U.S. housing market vs. the Canadian housing market
Though the government has lots of influence on this.

For example in most South East Asian countries it's impossible to buy land as a foreigner (basically a house).

Just this one rule alone would help the situation in Canada as there is alot of foreign ownership with as I understand it no restrictions.

Regulations favoring Canadian citizens wouldn't violate the spirit of the private market, and would certainly help Canada.

...or back to their original countries with the prestige of a foreign degree.

Though technically container apparments would be "affordable housing" -- which I think might be one part of the solution.
hungryforcodes··on The U.S. housing market vs. the Canadian housing market
This is true and not true. Desirable land aka location is where everyone wants to buy. This drives the price up. Building in the middle of nowhere increases available housing, but doesn't solve the problem really, because no one wants to live there.

In theory remote work could help with this problem, but honestly it's really only available to workers who work in offices. People with physical jobs like Amazon warehouse workers and restaurant staff and construction workers...all have to live somewhere near where they work.

hungryforcodes··on Privacy Nightmare on Wheels’: Every Car Brand Reviewed by Mozilla
To my knowledge though this has never been proven. Yes, the base band can in theory access this stuff, and the OS could do so stealthily I suppose -- but this is Subaru SAYING they are doing it every time you get in the car for no really good reason.

It's in a totally different class.

Which as described to me was interpreted as conflictual.
hungryforcodes··on How South Korea’s birth rate dropped below Japan’s
I did mention that a conflictual approach to relationships-- as opposed to a collaborative one -- created problems for both men and women in this age group to find partnerships.

I'm just reporting what I've been told by Koreans I've met. The problem doesn't seem to exist in older generations.

Happy if Koreans could chime in.

hungryforcodes··on Hundreds of thousands trafficked to work as online scammers in SE Asia, says UN
Anecdotally I met an NGO worker once in Phenom Phen who was drunk and admitted exactly this -- because he had to justify his 200K Euro job in that city. With that salary you're like a king, you'd probably do alot to keep it.
hungryforcodes··on Hundreds of thousands trafficked to work as online scammers in SE Asia, says UN
I don't see in any country in SEA -- and I live out here -- how you could hide 100K people in concertation camps to do high tech scamming.

There is a comment above about someone's Laotian wife working hard conditions doing these scams because it pays much better than local work -- this seems much more convincing.

Even the issue with the Vietnamese casino workers was only 40 people -- though not to minimize it's importance.

hungryforcodes··on How Hinge's algorithm decides who you date
That's easily solved by just meeting the girls. If you're dating anyways -- it's your main goal.

In Asia for all the popular sites like Tinder, Badoo and OK Cupid -- I've never had a girl not show up where there wasn't mutual interest. Continued after yes or no -- that's just a human problem. But the girls are real for sure...

But the original post was "personal entertainment". Between eating out and having a couple of beers (both of which are unneeded), it's easy to spend at least $35 a day ($250 a week).

hungryforcodes··on Remains found in China may belong to third human lineage
This might be well true, but they are also likely to believe science as well. It's just the two live in an easy parallel where one isn't necessarily valued over the other-- good or bad.

In the US the camps are FIRMLY pro or against science or many other topics, so things get alot more polarized.

Good point about that! Obviously there are alot of big players like that. However I heard this was a small lab, so I guess we don't know yet what their patenting power is.
