Good point! Maybe that explains why they chose it only for the bands. People touch the phone the most at the outsides, so this sounds like a great trade-off between allowing the phone to cool itself (via the aluminum back) while not being h

After reading many business books: central planning works great as long as the benefits of centralisation outweigh the drawbacks of centralisation. After reading Outsiders by Thorndike, I’m convinced that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits

Yes and similarly for airplanes. US’ planes were worse than Japanese at the start of the war but at the end US’ plane manufacturing was much faster and the plane designs had gone through multiple rounds of improvements unlike the Japanese.

> It's a pretty strong message that the effect has not been proven. The message is that the effect has (may have) been proven since "showing breathwork was associated with lower levels of stress than control conditions".

Apple’s (or actually TSMC’s) advanced packaging makes communication between dies faster. I think that some of the performance gains come from a lower number of clockticks required for accessing memory on an Apple chip.

I have no personal experience with selling a SaaS, but read that AWS mostly sold to startups at first because there were no migration costs yet. Out of curiosity, has the same been attempted with Eathly and, if yes, did that work?

I think sweeping statements like this might seem fair in the context of this article, but are actually harmful to democracy. A fundamental right in liberal societies, for better or worse, is that of property rights. Yes, some people have a

Ah yes the next time that some "free spirited entrepeneur" comes to my house to steal my TV, I will gladly refrain from using pesky regulations in my favour to imprison the entrepreneur. Your sentence sounds nice but makes no sens

The most questionable part about cryptocurrencies at this point is that the defence arguments keep shifting. First it was to get rid of banks, then it was to workaround autocratic regimes, and now it is about having an elastic electricity d

Okay I agree then on nicking Umwelt since it has a different meaning. Since we’re discussing language and HN is a place to discuss, are you sure Fingerspitzengefühl is too difficult? The "ei" and "tz" sounds in Zeitgeist

Do you have more information about that? If you average the power over a month, then yes it might be true in the plot, but I suspect it's less smooth in real-time.

Yes. The author of Darwin's Blind Spot: Evolution Beyond Natural Selection agrees with you. The view that only natural selection determines evolution is the (neo-)Darwinism view, but there are more modern views as presented by Frank Ry

I have a lot of appreciation for some specialized German words, such as Fingerspitzengefühl, Wanderlust, Zeitgeist, or Schadenfreude, but why Umwelt? It can just be translated to environment.

There are an infinite amount of impressive technical things that we could be talking about. I'd rather focus on the things that are providing value to most people. The only value that I see cryptocurrencies provide is to people in non-

Your US-centric view makes no sense. The machines to make the chips are made in the Netherlands, the mirrors for those machines in Germany, to be finally fabbed in Taiwan. Furthermore, if you ever want a more challenging job, then I would i

Still I was promised immense productivity by their tools, but I do keep seeing bugs in the ChatGPT interface. So they themselves seem not so productive? When seeing their tools as slightly productivity increasing, then they are good.
