Good to know the S22 Ultra has a decent fingerprint reader.
Note that S10 is totally different than S10e when it comes to the fingerprint reader, though. On the S10e, the power button is the fingerprint reader. The position is perfect. Contrast that with phones like Pixel 4 or Pixel 5, where Google think a sensor in an awkward location on the back of the phone is the right move.
I actually prefer the sensor on the back of the phone. I find it to be at least as convenient as on the power button, and with the power button placement, it frequently unlocks right after I just hit the power button to turn the screen off.
However, both of them are leaps and bounds better than the optical in-screen sensors that fucking blind you if try to use the phone somewhere dark. I had a phone with one of those for about 2 weeks before I returned it.
> The "Russia is invading our country" narrative is only held by some.
Mainly those that believe in concepts such as 'borders' and 'sovereignty'
You might personally feel that those residents welcomed foreign troops with open arms, but it's not a narrative that Russian forces crossed Ukraine's border to annex territory that didn't belong to it.
You've replied with this article to multiple comments as if it carries any weight. Why do you feel like we're bound to the same dietary behaviors as our ancestors?
> It is not just a random preference and it is not something that anyone can just switch off, therefore it is not a matter of morality, as you are trying to portray it
Every declaration you made in this sentence is incorrect.
In this scenario I would argue that deleting a function abruptly without verifying impacts is significantly worse than gradually adding a delay. Usually when function deprecations occur impacted dev teams are notified on a shared distro of what's coming in future releases. Library maintainers at large companies typically don't have the bandwidth to investigate each project that uses their library to determine if deleting a function would detrimentally impact a production environment. What a deletion does do is block the downstream dev team in this hypothetical from deploying to prod as they investigate why their builds are suddenly failing (or crashing in prod!) and refactor an alternative solution. Do you really want to work in an environment where other devs feel empowered to break your builds and sprints ad hoc?
I assume they are welcome to use the old version, and this comes after an ignored deprecation warning. If not, then this deletion should come after a forced migration by whatever library team enforces a one version rule.
That broken build won't be pushed to production and affect users, but invisibly slowing down a production service and hoping someone notices via monitoring will probably pass tests, build fine and be pushed to production where it will affect end users. I absolutely want to work in an environment where the build fails rather than people play childish tricks to punish my users because I used a deprecated function, and hope I notice.
> Think about whenever you travel to Austin for conferences, it's oppressively hot and you basically travel from one air conditioned building to the next.
Commentary from someone who only visits Texas in the summer is bound to be one-dimensional.
> To me this spells the end of Oracle's supremacy in anything other than selling smaller and smaller volumes of mainframes.
True because average regional temperature has always been a solid predictor of company success, which is why companies like 3M, Cirrus Logic, Dell, Indeed, National Instruments, and Silicon Labs all collapsed after establishing their headquarters in Austin due to talented employees leaving en masse for the beauty of other regions /s
Used to live in Texas for several years. 3M has little in common with Silicon Valley but those other companies are legit so I am willing to say I don’t know enough and I am eager to see how this turns out. I was trying to appeal to others experiences of Austin when mentioning conferences. I assume more people visit than live there on this site. For me, Austin would be pretty awful to live in year in and out by comparison to Silicon Valley even with having to wear N95 masks during fire season.
Also just wait for Analog Devices to buy Cirrus and relocate them back to SV. (Totally kidding)
> Bitcoin solves a number of problems right now, for example providing an opportunity for the nearly 2 billion people without access to a traditional banking system to securely participate in the world economy with nothing more than an old Nokia phone that can be bought for a few dollars.
This is a fantasy put forth by Bitcoin enthusiasts that's not supported by the facts. The average cost of a bitcoin transaction is currently ~$7.5USD[1]; nobody in the unbanked world is spending the cost of 1-2 Nokias to make day-to-day purchases.
> Another example is how it is providing a way for people in hyper-inflationary economies like Venezuela to store value.
This isn't true. Zelle's ability to store actual USD make it the preferred means for storing digital currency safely in Venezuela right now[2]:
"Ecoanalítica, a local consulting firm, estimates that 17% of transactions at retail establishments in Caracas go through [Zelle] and that other Venezuelan cities are seeing similar usage levels. The actual figure may be larger, considering the data do not include smaller shops."
Accusing others of being ill informed or dishonest while yourself pushing forth maximalist narratives that aren't grounded in reality is a bit rich.
A 51% attack doesn’t let the bad actor steal someone else’s coins. It lets them reverse and double spend their own spending. They can’t directly steal coins. The flexibility of open source software gives opportunities to mitigate such an event, should it happen.
It's not a popular opinion to share online due to how ingrained food choices are into our lives (memories, communion, celebratory meals, etc), but if this development concerns you I highly recommend exploring a plant-based diet. I've been meat/dairy free for about a year now and it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made.
It is actually one of the most popular lifestyle opinions people share online and in real life, aside from proselytizing things generally recognized as religions, and has been for probably a couple of decades.
Yeahhhh not on HN. People here are very hyped by lab meat and reversing climate change thanks to science and technology, so any change of diet is not necessary. Especially since so many people here are convinced by keto diets, whic relies heavily on animal protein.
I've been leaning heavier on a plant based diet and generally eating lower on the food chain. For me the main advantages are environmental and ethical, both of which should be had with lab meat.
Keep in mind that vega/plant based diets are purely political diets. I mean if you want to do them, that's fine, but there's not a huge health aspect.
A lot of studies are showing the largest factor in heart disease and obesity is not fat, but carbohydrates (specifically starches and sugars, not dietary fiber or sugar alcohols).
A lot of people today still think Adkins died of heart disease because of a (later rededicated) Reuters article with bad information (he was old, slipped on a piece of ice and bused his skull). I wonder had the Adkins diet movement not died off, if we'd see a significant reduction in obesity today.
It might be difficult to eat vegan, but it's much more difficult to eat low carb. Look carefully at everything in your pantry.
> Keep in mind that vega/plant based diets are purely political diets. I mean if you want to do them, that's fine, but there's not a huge health aspect.
It's pretty clear you have a bias/agenda considering how easily refutable that statement is [1][2][3][4][5]
There is an extensive disinformation campaign going on, largely funded by meat and dairy companies, to confuse people about this. Refined carbohydrates and sugars are not healthy, it’s true. But the idea that saturated fat is safe is not supported by any solid science.
You don't call them anything. You address their arguments and methodology. All the axe grinding in that article makes it read like a tabloid, and I don't trust tabloids.
