ok, yeah, but they are collapsible by default, just not collapsed, that what confused me with that statement :D
The problem is that N7 process, is from 2018. thats 4 years that TSMC have been developing their N6, N5, N4, N3 processes.

N5 (which Apple uses), was late 2019 with the A14 processor with AMD starting to jump in this year with it.

N3 should be out this year, more than likely with another flagship apple product.

Now. As per Intels roadmap, https://www.anandtech.com/show/16823/ , They should have Intel 4 out later this year. Which should be slightly faster than N5. The big question is whether they stick to their schedules.
It's definitely not his job to rehearse slides. Who would define that as part of his job for him exactly? The board?

As a CEO that is particularly overly in control, ultimately he'll decide how to present, when to present, what to present. It's a take it or leave it package, Musk is a very abnormal executive. He'll rehearse slides if he feels like it, that's clearly more like his personality.
Im a bit confused, at the point the police attached the unmarked tracking device on the suspects vehicle, did the suspect not obtain possession rights to the tracker? If not can the police just attach a device to you vehicle then charge you with theft immediately? How did the removal and subsequent storage result in theft if the device was already in the suspects possession?
I have sometimes had amazing smiles and laughter reading amazon reviews. It tends to remind me that people are pretty diverse in their lifestyles and opinions. When sizing up a product, that gives nothing at all of value: this guy hates it, but seems slightly crazy; this other one loves it but what do they know? So I just have a good laugh at how different these people are from each other, and likely from me, and make gut decisions based on pretty much nothing anyway.
Half-joking aside...

I trust the glass will be fully bulletproof by end of year, if not some time next week.
It’s probably not going to immediately outsell the F-150 in Montana, but I bet it will quickly become Tesla’s best selling vehicle I’m willing to bet. Long term (5-20 years), people in Montana will come around to accepting electric vehicles.

Everyone else in this thread is saying the styling is a negative, but they couldn’t be more wrong.

It was made by the third (3rd) maintainer of Dota Allstars, the warcraft 3 mod. Eul was first, Guinsoo was #2. It had quite a large community attached. Valve hired Icefrog. Icefrog did not invent MOST of the characters, IP, nor mechanics, nor design the map. He DID balance a lot of the characters and interactions. I was an admin for Team Dota Allstars at the time and helped run the semiprivate leagues on battlenet and the dota-allstars forums.

So Valve hires Icefrog, makes an IP claim for the dota name, all the characters, and starts creating dota 2. It felt like a "oh, I'll have this". It didn't feel right at all at the time. Still doesn't. Nothing was ever said for the community that formed around creating and enjoying the game in the first place.

You really have to design your language around HM if you want to use it, and it would disallow a lot of LISP-style coding that really takes advantage of dynamic typing.
I like the way the author "forgets" to mention the simple refund capability. It would have sounded even more like whining if he'd remembered to include it.
Why don't website operators think more of design? You need binocular vision to read this article.

Then I'm afraid you must have missed something. If, for example (as it was the first net screenshot I found) you enter "bella" into the top left search box, you get back this: http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/files/2009/08/spotify_deskto...

Double click any of those and it will instantly start streaming the song.
Yes, the benefit is largest for iPad users.

There's AirPlay for iPhones though (If you use it). And, independent from the iOS version, the Find-My-Phone functionality now for free. Which was, before, the only reason I was even considering paying for Mobile Me.
It depends a lot on the perception you're trying to create. I can't find it now, but there was an article a while back that spoke to the benefits of having a dedicated identity for your billing department. In short, it helps to separate the you that negotiates contracts and produces from the you that asks for the money. Of course, if you were doing something like this, you would want to make sure you used the plural.
I don't think the next generation of kids is aware of the implications, and issues, of Zuckerberg's plan. To them (or might I even say us), Facebook is a communications platform. It helps us talk to our friends, share interesting content, and enrich our lives. However, most importantly: the issues of no privacy haven't yet manifested themselves. When our job applications get turned down after they look at how outrageous our publicly viewable photos are on our profiles, then we'll start to understand.
For me, CoreMIDI is the most expected feature… http://synth.me/music-gear/apple-announces-native-midi-suppo...
It also leads to passive voice, which is sometimes appropriate ("Then three cubic centimeters of goat bile were added to the solution"; ideally, anyone should be able to perform this experiment, and the experimenter is out of the picture entirely), but in general, I agree with you.

The mental trick is to append "I think" to the beginning of every sentence and hope that that works.

Also: using the "I" opens up the argumentum ad hominem, which can focus criticism into uncomfortable territory ("Goat bile shouldn't have been added until after the solution was brought to a boil!", versus "You shouldn't have added goat bile until...." One of those is a bit more likely to be taken personally (albeit by someone with thin skin, perhaps as a result of too much exposure to goat bile)).
But what a headline! I left the article disappointed, but it's hard to fault the care that went into those four words.

I welcome sensationalist link-bait headlines if they have weight behind them. Don't blame the sizzle, blame the steak.
I wonder what the distribution of revenue per customer looks like. I bet (hope?) that at the low end there are a lot of consumers who set up a $5 droplet to tinker around for a few months without doing much more, and that the revenue figures are propped up by a small group of bigger customers spending much more.
It's a quote from the movie.
Do you think Kia or Toyota (the brand, not the company) have a long term play, or is everyone going to shift to Lexus, Mercedes and BMW?

Not everyone is interested in paying the exhorbitant pricing the big cloud providers charge, regardless of features.

Now they might get acquired by the big boys and run under their existing brands as a low cost alternative. But the services aren't going away. I'm willing to bet the big guys want nothing to do with them though. It'll just eat into their margin.
I've always thought about it as the difference between "throwing something out of Earth's gravity" (launching a projectile with initial force only) versus "climbing [a ladder?] out of Earth's gravity" (continually applying force just over gravity's influence.)

I think Bickerton has confused the two concepts.

Consider that gravity is the weakest of all forces. You overcome it every time you jump, run (with both feet off the ground) or climb a ladder. You don't overcome it for long enough to get into orbit, but you still overcome gravity. Birds and airplanes regularly overcome gravity.

My experience is mainly focused on human resources, administration and legal work ranging from contracts, advice on case, paperwork, recruiting, and any other administrative and HR task. In general one of the differences from the others that are doing the same thing is that I somewhat technical background due to being involved in few different projects during the years, so I can easily communicate with developers and also see when there is an actual issue in production or if someone is just delaying something or bluffing during interview.

Thanks. It is good to know that such programs exist as well.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of the 'balance' (preferential binding), anything less than 1-1 in favour of Omega-3 is as useless as nothing. So, something with close to 1-1 ratios, like flax seed won't make any difference unless you eliminate omega-6's from your diet entirely. This isn't just impractical - it's so limiting, you'll have trouble with other nutritional requirements.
My apologies. Thanks for making my hyperlinks work.
Actually, the proposed change to rule is not clearly stated. Simply, there is an unspecified change to the rules on the agenda.

So it sounds like the "OS level" part is irrelevant?
Fail. So I decided: not flying anywhere until this idiocity is over. Not that I fly that often, but let's say that they have lost X dollars a year on me. Hopefully, more people will commit to this as well and after some airlines go bankrupt, the rest will get the message and hire their own lobbyists.
Saying you wouldn't go through the "porno scanner" makes you sound weird, and doesn't always convey what what you might want it to mean.

I fly regularly through two of the first airports to test these out. The name that's stuck is the XXX-ray. Pronounced "triple-X-ray". It rolls off the tongue pretty easily in conversation too.

"Hey John miss your flight?"

"Yeah I got held up at security because I wouldn't go through the triple-X-ray"
Definitely include a napping area. It can mean the difference between a wasted afternoon and a productive one.
Good sales teams crowd out great products with crappy sales teams (no no sales at all). Great marketing destroys great products that have no marketing.

The best developers take their head out of the code and realize that it's not a true product meritocracy-- in Google search results, in the App Store, or in any marketplace you care to name. AND they realize that really freakin' awesome things happen when you combine a great product with great marketing.
Maybe a better term would be oversight.
I agree with you, but it would be interesting to see what he truly feels about Apple success because of his history with Steve Jobs
Also, from the right side of the page: "This article was originally published on IBM developerWorks."
Let me try again:

Only a supremely self-involved, judgmental, narcissistic asshole would think it's appropriate to look down on others for having different ideas about how they want to spend the short time we get on this planet.

Truly, it's hard to imagine how badly one's parents would have to fuck up to raise a child that thought that such sentiments were appropriate.

Those who might look down upon others for engaging in an inefficient activity are not just hypocrites, they are arrogant fools. They are asserting that they know the best way for every person to spend their life.

It is sad that HN appears to support such thoughtless, worthless, bigoted, narcissistic behavior.
That's a lame excuse and as corywatilo has pointed out is untrue (at least for his email... and probably others).
Yeah, I think this attitude is just a side-effect of being new to FP and wanting to cling to familiar techniques.

I certainly felt the same way getting started. Then once you read the Out of the Tarpit paper you get over it and start to trust referential transparency.
> Perform incremental build a magnitude faster than Maven, zero changes build finishes immediately.

I see benefits of that in projects that build hours, but in every one of my maven projects (non-hobby) I always do clean before package/verify just to make sure the project builds.

```
mvn clean verify
```

And I'm certain it will work in CI also.
A better way to help with capacity would be for Tesla to switch to CCS. Multiple plug types creates hassle no one needs.

Tesla switched to CCS in Europe. More CCS charging locations are being added every week in North America. It'd be sensible to make use of it.
If you'd like to learn journalism style writing in English especially if English is not your mother tongue, I would recommend American English for World Media: The CUNY Journalism School Guide to Writing and Speaking for Professionals by Diane Nottle

> But, TBH, I think Kotlin and Java

I agree wholeheartedly.

But there will be a demographic of people who know Rust and not Java, but who might want to build an app.
Somewhat similar to how there is an apparent need for "HTML+JS+CSS"-devs to build native apps.
I get the point, but that's not entirely true; improvements in car design have also reduced fatalities in ways other than forcing people to slow down.

I learned this a while back and used the Python web page scraping tool BeautifulSoup to take an eBook version of a cookbook and generate individual recipe files compatible with my favourite recipe manager, Paprika.
I also tested Firebase but quickly ran into issues.

Firebase's database is a NoSQL database, whereas almost all my data for the apps and (micro-)SaaS I was building had relational data.

Their frontend data fetching felt clunky and did not fit my requirement.

Also, the fact that Firebase is a closed-source backend felt scary in the hands of Google (https://killedbygoogle.com/).

Firebase's problems and my desire to have the perfect backend made me build an open-source alternative to fix all the shortcomings. PostgreSQL instead of NoSQL. GraphQL instead of REST. 100% open source. That is now https://nhost.io.
Well you're acting like you understand what they're talking about when they say the word harassment when obviously you don't. I don't either, but with all the harassment I experience on a daily basis, I have no trouble imagining situations that would fit the definition of harassment that could come about because of this name. Acting like you understand this whole situation, and the point of view of everyone involved make me surprised to hear that you are a marginalized person.
> It's about what it thinks you want to listen to.

At the moment, but I think the idea behind this patent is that it can factor in your mood (and other factors, such as gender) into the recommendation engine as well as what you already like.

Though I don't see gender being much of a signal. My GF and I have exactly the same taste in music (well, she doesn't like Classical that much, and I don't like Musicals, and she's more into Goth/Industrial/Metal than I am, but it's a 90% match). Anecdata, but that's all I have.
> you just change the file extension of a ePub to html it will work fine in the browser

Isn't epub a zip file of a bunch of html docs, metadata and images?
On a good monitor, the color contrast between #ffffff and #000000 is far beyond the contrast possible in nature. No reflective material can reach those colors or that contrast.

That color contrast is perfect for a game, a movie or an image. But you don't want the feeling of something as bright as looking into the fucking sun mixed with the darkness of the deepest starless night. That's just painful, both in light mode and dark mode.

Just calibrate your monitor correctly, increase your contrast if your monitor can't even display Rec.709 sRGB, instead of compensating for your shitty monitor by making your website painful for anyone with a good monitor.

COVID is not a random disease, it's a pandemic infecting many millions of people.

The rate of infection is highest among 'younger people' and though their rates of hospitalization are lower, there's still quite a few people.

And that they may have had 'other complications' like 'obesity' or 'asthma' is almost besides the point.

10% of those admissions is going to be, overall, a potentially serious health issue, affecting quite a lot of people.

We have yet to determine what all of that amounts to and how severe it will be, but it can't be dismissed.
Does anyone know how those diagrams are drawn?
"Merely OK" is pretty damn good when everything else is "truly shitty"
Although I love reading how big companies solve developmental problems I am also glad I don't work there. Programming at FB seems more like working in a salt mine.
Neck in neck! That's amazing. Thanks for testing that out.
Cultural differences do exist in the US, but IMO they have little to do with state borders. Someone from Brooklyn has much more in common with someone from Jersey City than they do with someone from Ithaca. Phoenix feels more like Anaheim than it does like Nogales. And so on.
> Only now, there's little to no payoff for the rest of humanity if they spend thousands of hours consumed by one of these games.

Most people like this have jobs that they dedicate 30-60 hours a week to building things. Presumably, that's what Newton would also be doing today: working in the day and finding time to build sundials in Valheim at night.

Of course, it's possible he'd end up being a Twitch streamer or something.
I think a year is a huge underestimate.

And why not? Because if they spend the time elsewhere they'll make more money. Opportunity cost
> Because black frees us of any argument over coding style in merge requests and this is great. It helps us focus on the important things.

I hear this all the time, along with 'Juniors will be confused' but it never seems reasonable. Sometimes I line up variables:

name_field_id = 0x01

address_field_id = 0x02

Sometimes I don't. I do it when the cognitive load is more on the values or the identifiers, as a group. No tool is going to help with this judgement call.

Sometimes stuffing a method on one line is best because you get ten boilerplate methods on ten lines and can see the similarity, other times that's just silly and they'd be best spaced normally.

Sometimes I use a rightward assignment { ... } => x because it fits the code better, leaving the reference to x right next to the next statement which will use it.

> so we regularly argue over them and this is a waste of time.

Strange disfunction. It sounds like your team is too opinionated to allow other opinions.

> I wish it were much more opinionated

Suggest turning on more rules but leaving them as suggestions. Where any reason to not follow them is enough. You do want to make sure people have some reason to make sure they aren't just leaving a mess but it's easier to get them to care about style if they have a say in what clean looks like.

As an aside, part of the issue is comfort with the tooling. If I have to work in someone else's file and I hate the syntax and it's a big deal, I first run the linter to make the code look my way, make the change, run the linter to go back to their style, squash it onto my change, and rebase away the first lint. Work done, no problems dealing with someone else's style - even in the case that it would otherwise be a problem. I never have to, but because I can it doesn't bug me.
> And the rest of your comment is pretty much the story of my life give or take a few degrees.

It's always a small relief to know other people who have/had the same challenges. Thank you.
Wow, you spend really a lot of effort on virtue signaling.

Should we also institute public lynching of all employees of companies that had security breaches?

But is that necessary? You could make similar statements about language translation but computers do quite well. Also people don't fully understand how consciousness forms but still write novels.

# Summary

Let me get straight to the point.

If you (or your daycare) uses NurseryCam, ANYONE CAN SPY ON YOUR CHILDREN.

Let me repeat that.

If you (or your daycare) uses NurseryCam, ANYONE CAN SPY ON YOUR CHILDREN. ANYONE.

Hi, my name is John Doe and I'm a cyber-security consultant who specialises online video security.

NurseryCam is a camera system that is installed in nurseries, allowing parents to view their children remotely. There are tens of nurseries stating that they use this system. News articles go back as far as 2004.

The problem is that NurseryCam's system contains serious security issues. The worst part is that NurseryCam is lying about it. NurseryCam were informed of these as early as February 2015 – 6 years ago and still haven't done anything to fix them. These issues would allow any parent, past or present, to access the video feeds from the nursery. There is also the chance that anyone on the Internet could have accessed them.

So if you use NurseryCam, anyone can spy on your children. Do you really want that?

If you are a concerned parent now, please do not hesitate to reach out to me on john@doe.com.

If you want more technical details, keep reading on down below.
