AWS exists and has compute right now, spinning up their own HW would take months (at least). This gets them moving quicker.

I feel like Graphene wouldn't stand for that

I'd think they just can't sell the phones preloaded with graphene in regions where these laws exist.

It cracks me up that the toggle for this advises you that it will cause your battery to die faster

I'd think it'd be useful to opt-in to a 24-hr app installation blackout for scenarios like this. But also, Google would definitely give 5-eyes a tool to bypass this for whatever they wanted to do to your phone.

It'll be interesting to see how the timing is enforced. Can you just set up your own NTP server to fool your phone into thinking it's really the future (and not just you adjusting your phone's clock manually). Will Google run

They're treating users like toddlers. Having to wait 24 hours to use my phone how I want to?

This isn't just a good idea -- it's a forward-thinking policy to ensure Hacker News remains a collaborative place to have meaningful discussions for years to come.

Yeah, etcd was the main culprit, but latency was 150-300ms in my case. At 3 nodes, it was relatively stable (had an issue every week or so that lasted < 5 min), but at 4 the camel's back broke.

A case like this is still theoretically winnable, different courts have different opinions, and higher level courts have yet to weigh in

My new ToS I sent them allows me to appoint anyone (including my self) as the arbiter.

Lenovo (and their subsidiary Motorola) seem to be on a consumer friendliness streak

Makes sense the thinkpad of phones would be the partner for this https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/phones/motorola-smartphones/t...

Technically Motorola isn't releasing a running fork of android, they're just making their handsets to GOS' spec.

I would imagine China's goal (if any with this, which I really doubt) is to harm google by eroding their monopoly on mobile operating systems.

I think the main idea behind it is that it allows buses to queue up if many arrive at once without blocking the intersection

People complain to their local governments + sue transit authorities that try to do this because they like having a stop right outside their house

I think the article means 'cheap' as in it doesn't really require any new/expensive infrastructure and could theoretically be done overnight. Though, as you mention it's a big political ask (which is unfortunate).

Removing the stops helps a lot. As an example on SEPTA, the 124/125 [1][2] to Wissahickon T.C. takes 10+ minutes longer than taking the 27 [3] when starting at J.F.K. & 15th. (for context: the 124/5 operate locally west throug

This is very true (that re-balancing will help ridership/operations), but politically it's hard to do. Everyone wants better buses, but nobody wants to lose the stop right next to their house/apartment (even if the nearest st

Yeah, Google is terrible at validating developers are non-malicious on google play. plenty of fake/malicious/garbage apps make it through the filter.

You can download any APK you like on the internet and run it without google/gov getting in the way
