I'd just like to clarify - a charge cycle is when 100% of charge has been depleted and recharged, be that in ten cycles of 10%, four cycles of 25%, one cycle of 100%, or anywhere in-between. So charging every night won't kill your battery in three years unless you're fully depleting the battery every single day.

But yeah, agreed that we really need to figure out sustainable battery tech, because otherwise EVs are just punting the pollution problem down the road to our kids.

If one is okay with less-open hardware, the F(x)tec Pro 1 X seems to be a good higher-end smartphone that has a decent camera sensor, slide-out keyboard, AMOLED display, and can be ordered with either Ubuntu Touch or Lineage preinstalled.

It's at the top of my if-I-ever-jump-ship-from-Apple list of phones.

I don't know about flipping burgers or all of Europe, but entry-level pay at Aldi in Switzerland is around $65k USD.

> Anybody would please be able to point me at what I'm missing? Wages well below a living wage, untreated mental illness and substance addiction, and general villainization of the homeless. There's a good chance that homeless people couldn't even get many (or most) of those jobs if they tried because the owners/managers wouldn't give them the time of day.

You're free to tinker with an iPhone however you want, it just might require you to be smart enough to work around the built-in security measures.

There's a twitter icon underneath the author's name that links to that twitter profile...

> This used to be nigh unto a human universal: your parents raise you up from a helpless infant to adulthood, and this obliges you to love and care for them for the rest of their lives.

Alternate take on that human universal: your parents had unprotected sex and fulfilled their obligation to raise the offspring produced to adulthood, this obliges you to nothing.

I'm not saying this means everyone should estrange their parents, but the idea that a child has any obligation to their parents for raising them seems misguided at best and damaging at worst, imo. Any attachment between children and parents should be due to mutual feelings of love and respect, like any other relationship - if those are absent on one side, why should the other suffer a relationship with people who they would otherwise remove from their friend group?

(Note that I have a good relationship with my parents, so this isn't coming from a place of personal pain, but rather a dislike for the idea that two humans procreating and fulfilling their obligation to the offspring that comes of it should impose any obligation whatsoever upon that offspring.)

EDIT: I should clarify that I do believe that parents who went above and beyond that obligation to show their children love and respect and receive nothing in return have a right to be upset - however, what about situations where a parent thought they were doing the right thing (based on how they were raised, religious briefs, parenting advice from a friend or magazine, etc.) but the thing they were doing was actually harmful? There's a lot of nuance in this, but I think that a blanket "honor thy father and thy mother [out of obligation]" is a bad idea.

FYI, the credit card checkout option allows for using Apple Pay, so I went that route to obfuscate my CC info (and get cash back, because hey, why not).

I know this is probably just a me problem, but man, that makes me feel kinda bad for all the times I've angrily typed out an insult-laden chat message into customer support chats for cathartic reasons before deleting it and sending something nicer.

Not entirely bad, because recording what I type without my hitting send is shady asf on the company's part, but it makes me feel bad for the human on the other end of the chat.

Anyways, thanks for sharing, I'll have to keep this in mind in the future and maybe do less angry-typing-and-then-backspacing.

I think one important thing that we, as a society, need to respect is that the amount of "do" it takes a given person to do a given task is very different from the amount of "do" it takes another person to do that same task.

For example, it may take somebody who's depressed the same amount of "do" to get out of bed and eat a yogurt as it takes a go-getter, "neurotypical" [0] person to get up, cook a healthy breakfast, go to the gym, take a shower, get to work, and get through their first couple tasks of the day.

[0]: I put "neurotypical" in scare quotes because I'm not sure neurotypical is even really a thing, it's just the term we use for people whose mental makeup fits well into our society and work culture.

Ah, I was going to check for biking directions after I got my city's map downloaded, glad to hear it has them! That's the one thing I've been using Google Maps for because Apple for some reason just pretends non-coastal cities don't exist for non-car-centric Maps features...

I may request the authors add the ability to use more OSM layers, such as a cycling overlay and maybe speed limit overlay (I've been told by Google that a street was safe to cycle on-road when that street had a 45mph speed limit too many times for comfort).

Yes, and if we as a society were more accepting of these types of situational disabilities, workplaces would be much healthier.

I am currently interning with a national laboratory but would like to keep my eye out for other opportunities, and there are some awesome employers here on HN. I recently graduated with a BS in Computer Science, and I worked as a web developer for over three years when I was younger. My current internship has given me experience in the Python, Java, and C/C++ languages, while allowing me to work with Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Gitlab (w/ CI/CD), and other technologies, and I'm always willing to learn the stack necessary for a job.

I personally prefer zZounds to Sweetwater, because they're honest about their financing plans instead of making it difficult to realize you're signing up for a credit card until you're halfway through typing in your social.

No clue on that one, sorry. I’ve been using Purify[1] for ages, but have no clue if it blocks JS - I suspect it blocks only some JS, because my experience of the web isn’t trash while using it, but I do have to disable it sometimes to use the heavily animated navigation systems that some sites implement.

Not sure if this solves your entire problem, but you can disable all content blockers for any sit in Safari for iOS[1].

You’re awesome. Thanks for updating the site!

P.S. I plan to buy this book when the student version goes live, as I’m a bit away from graduating still.

I have a few friends who were unfortunate to graduate either right before or during the pandemic, and have had trouble finding jobs since. Would they be eligible for your free copy offer? I know one of the criteria is “lost job due to COVID-19”, but perhaps that could be extended to “...or have been unable to find a job due to COVID-19”?

Just a friendly suggestion/question - wanted to get that clarified before I link those friends to the complimentary copy page.

I am currently interning with a national laboratory and am likely to get an offer there upon graduation, but also thought I should put my name out there on HN, because there are some awesome employers here. I will be graduating by the end of this year with a BS in Computer Science, and I worked as a web developer for over three years when I was younger.

I, personally, am moving to Wi-Fi speakers because the audio quality and connection consistency have been considerably better than Bluetooth, both with my Sonos Beam and JBL Link Portable.

If you want the fluidity of Sonos without the voice assistant, check out the Sonos One SL - it's the Sonos One without the microphone and voice assistant, and is $20 cheaper because of it. There's also the IKEA Symfonisk, which is basically a bookshelf speaker variant of the One SL, from what I've read.

It sounds like this could be used to trigger complex lighting scenes and effects by listening in on the MIDI for a hardware-only music set, is that the case? Because, if so, this may be exactly the kind of software I've been keeping an eye out for.

This looks like a very interesting solution! Is there a subscription fee for the YogaNotch app, as well, or is it just the one-time sensor purchase?

I could see a combination of iPhone cameras and sensors + Apple Watch sensors offering a fairly good picture for an AI program to base form critique off.

I'm unsure what the pricing scheme is if you purchase through the Mixpose website or Android app, but it's $20/mo or $200/yr through iOS in-app purchase.

Yeah, probably a good call to not try to compete in the fitness VOD sphere, it seems to be a very quick race to the bottom. For the record, I do think your offering is a good and innovative solution to the issue of wanting to workout in the comfort of your own home but also wanting in-person classes and personalized training - I just don't think it's for me, personally.

> Fitness+ is only using Apple Watch.

While this is currently true, my original comment was stating that Fitness+ would be worth it to me, for $10/mo, if Apple were to make an integrated movement tracking system using multiple devices, as the comment I replied to posted.

Your service looks pretty cool, but there are a few things preventing me from using it:

1) Not having a live instructor is both a blessing and a curse, but largely a blessing for us introverts - I'm not comfortable with somebody watching me work out. But maybe I'll give Mixpose a shot when the AI option is released and has had time to mature.

2. I can't personally justify the high cost of the Mixpose service - an actual gym membership is around the same price (and that includes a couple of 1-on-1 personal trainer sessions each month), and my current yoga app (without feedback, admittedly) is $20 per year. In direct comparison to Apple Fitness+, I can sign my wife and myself up for the new Apple One Premiere bundle for $30/mo and get music streaming, news, 2TB of storage, and other goodies on top of Fitness+.

3. If the rumors of Fitness+ utilizing iPhone camera and Watch sensor information simultaneously are true, I feel other AI form-correction solutions won't stand a chance - but I'd be happy to be disproved on that front!

If Apple did this for home workouts I would subscribe to Fitness+ in a heartbeat. I currently practice yoga at home, and the worst part is I don't have an instructor to correct my form.
