This is precisely what I need to find for a parent as well. There are feature phones available for the European market (like the HMD Nokia phones) that probably fit the bill, but nothing that works on American frequencies. Wireless charging

This is great work. How close are we to a "just works" open source phone targeted for end-users?

Not supported in Linux, presumably, since you can't even get anything higher than 540p or 720p in Linux due to Widevine DRM restrictions.

Good. What's the complaint? It seems like the tax compounds exactly as designed. I don't see why this is even being pointed out.

In both cases, these are excess deaths that would not have otherwise occurred. That is not true of cancer. Your choice to downplay the comparison is as consciously political as GP's choice to point out the comparison.

No it does not totally depend on that. The inflation of stock valuations does, arguably, totally depend on loose monetary policy. But this is the consumer price index. That depends on demand, and demand remains low.

But you do have control over the wifi and bluetooth radios, which should be fine in an urban setting or a protest.

Clickbait. The month-over-month rate of change "jumped," but that's just recovery of deflation in the prior three months. The overall inflation rate remains well below what it was for all of 2019.

This is an important area in which I feel development has been disappointing, mainly because the commercial value isn't there. There are a few off-grid mesh dongle products that have been released in the past few years. Unfortunately,

This article is really too lightweight. It's not as much a review of current research as it is something that would fill whitespace in an industry mag.

It looks like it got lost in crossposting, but the original thread includes statements from CS drones that Linux won't be supported anymore. Plus lots of customer reports in the parent posting. https://www.reddit.com/r&

This is called "false balance." Reality doesn't have sides.

Maybe if you're a landlord in an empty town. But if you're a landlord operating at 70% occupancy, then you're not in a major city of most advanced economies. Cities have demand-driven pricing. 80% of Americans live in an urba

Let's say I'm a landlord. If you give my tenant $1000/month, I'll just take it. Their rent is now R+1000 next year. You could tax the $1000 back away from me, but that doesn't stop the price from rising. It actually

Capitalism is just an algorithm. It's only an ideology if you make it one. It's just a system of allocation and ownership that has clear tendencies and side-effects, well understood for many decades. The experiment has shown that,

I work with a number of contractors who say exactly the same thing as GP. There is so much cash that is just going down the drain with no accountability. That being said, venture capital is pissing away huge amounts of capital with no measu

In all of that nonsense, you didn't actually present any alternative interpretation of why Mill was being discussed other than the two obvious and "pessimistic" ones. Thanks for the large red herring. Oh, and I don't wor

No, I don't share your worldview on discourse either.

Thanks for making my point.

Yes, perhaps that's part of the fatal flaw here, aside from the disagreeable people. But I have indeed had comments removed by a moderator that were nothing more sinister than dissent.

That seems like a reasonable threshold? I should feel like this is a forum for nuanced discussion so long as nobody seeks to harm me personally? I hadn't even thought of that, but now that you raise it, I think I'll sign off.

Yes, and I believe that's consistent with my point. It generally fits your bias, so in your view the range of discussion seems comfortable and optimal. That's precisely what I'm saying. So, for example, I could make an antica

That impression, at least with respect to politics, is in my view because HN readers have an extraordinarily narrow range of education and are therefore generally uninformed about politics, history, philosophy, or the arts. They can't

I would never have called the discourse on this website "nuanced discussion." It's just one of many echo chambers on the internet where people think very similarly and otherwise rigorously suppress dissent from their consensu
