I agree.

I have posted this because of comments. Good part of them agree with your statement.

"One of the best leaps a programmer makes during their path from newb to godhood is to realize that 'objects' don't map well to real world objects. Programs work better, designs are more clean... code sucks less when a object in code represents the embodiment of a singular concept; a singular set of invariants rather than an object. Is that a failing of language design? A quirk of calling it object oriented programming rather than state oriented programming?"

(worth reading, not particularly related with your statement)
So, if I understand you correctly, Apple should decide what constitutes good parenting?

More fine-grained parental controls would certainly be nice. But what exactly is your hypothesis here? Apple wants to force parents to submit to their ideas of parenting through their design of the parental controls feature on the iPhone? That seems like a pretty stupid hypothesis to me.

It’s not that the parental controls feature is unworthy of discussion. I don’t think it’s particularly well designed. It just seems so completely absurd and ridiculous to claim that bad design must imply that Apple doesn’t want teenagers to surf the web. I’m utterly confused as to how a story like this can get more than forty upvotes on HN.
How is it "production-ready" anything if WebAssembly itself isn't even out of MVP stage yet?
The idea that companies and humans are in any way equivalent is preposterous.

Companies can not be rehabilitated because they aren't moral beings. They only understand one thing: profit. Thus for companies the financial deterrent is effective and appropriate.
When they have alerts that tightened down and want them responded to that way - I suspect they’re institutionally or personally paranoid. I’ve seen this happen when your department is the object of derision from other departments. Ie when IT is treated as a cost sector. This is a huge red light and a reason to run for the hills. Perhaps the nice option is it’s just your immediate management who’s overreacting and switching teams can make it better. But I file this combination as a grave condition to avoid at all costs
The underlying data is available [0] As I understand it, Phase 2 of the trials was when they determined this by looking at the immune system response. Phase 3 then looked at actual disease outcomes. (Phase 1 was safety/side effects)

It's very important to note that Phase 3 was about COVID19 disease and less about Sars-Cov2 infection. They do have some infection information, but the vaccine is licensed to prevent disease, not infection.

If there was more time, there would be more answers, but you can only run so many trials when people are dying from a pandemic.

That's a coincidence.
Canvas isn't far off. The web is excellent for the types of UI that people often want to build for application: nestings of boxes interspersed with text.
Are you trolling? This is a comically slavish attitude towards "science," but sadly one that all too many people have.
Part of the "trap" is implicit assumption of the subject / object distinction, which we are stuck with so long as we use language to think and communicate. But all human expression is generated from an initial non-verbal intention. So I think "trying to do good" is actually fundamentally important, because it's the precursor to good things happening
Admitted to lying! Yep, the ones who don't admit it are far preferable :)

He admitted explicitly to doing what every politician does, what everyone knows they do, and what Lindsay Tanner did only hours later on the ABC.

It was an unfortunate, clumsy thing to say, but the "gotcha" triumphalism should be reserved for people who don't admit to their failings, not the ones who do.
Misunderstandings are easy on the internet. No hard feelings.
Maybe intrinsic motivations should be defined as those things (e.g. curiosity, desire for power) that we like just for the sake of them, whereas extrinsic motivations are things we like because they get us to the intrinsic motivations. It's quite possible that most people don't really like money just for the sake of money, and that they just like like stuff that money buys.

There's certainly no denying the experimental evidence that monetary rewards seem to dampen interest in activities if you give them and then take them away.

The research behind Self-Determination-Theory would also suggest that most people probably share a relatively small subset of the motivations that this guy is talking about.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination_theory
Mr. Hawking is obviously a brilliance we've been privileged to learn from, but in this particular instance the wisdom of Freeman Dyson immediately struck me as more sound:

"Science and religion are two windows that people look through, trying to understand the big universe outside, trying to understand why we are here. The two windows give different views, but they look out at the same universe. Both views are one-sided, neither is complete. Both leave out essential features of the real world. And both are worthy of respect.
Trouble arises when either science or religion claims universal jurisdiction, when either religious or scientific dogma claims to be infallible. Religious creationists and scientific materialists are equally dogmatic and insensitive. By their arrogance they bring both science and religion into disrepute. The media exaggerate their numbers and importance. The media rarely mention the fact that the great majority of religious people belong to moderate denominations that treat science with respect, or the fact that the great majority of scientists treat religion with respect so long as religion does not claim jurisdiction over scientific questions."
Tu put it more plainly, he said that for any possible job, C++ is never the best tool for it.

∀job, ∃L | L(job) > C++(job)

This, plus stating that C++ is very complicated amounts to say that C++ is bad. Because even if C++ is "good enough" for a wide range of jobs, it's complexity makes it longer to learn than several, simpler, more specialized languages.

My personal opinion is that C++ is best only when legacy code is involved, or when the team just won't learn other languages. I can understand them. Learning C++ is such an investment that they are more likely to "throw good learning after bad", or may think that learning another languages will be as difficult as learning C++.

I may change my mind when I bother to look at LLVM or V8. Perhaps.
I think the key here is to establish chemical diagnosis from clinical diagnosis. There was a vaccine developed for Lyme but since withdrawn. I'd say that Lyme as a chemical condition and subsequent symptoms does exist. But then there are other people that wrongly attribute their problems to Lyme, or there are people with real Lyme that don't all respond consistently to antibiotics. So it has since moved into the too hard or too misunderstood basket. Lyme exists: so what, if doctors (and patients/sufferers) can't get a grip on it, that's part of life too.

So you have this guy here who said he was diagnosed with Lyme and was treated for a year and did not improve, and is now not answering questions about Lyme.

edit: I bet some doctor's (or the doctor that prescribed) told him that Lyme doesn't exist, or you couldn't have it after all those antibiotics... etc and that's why he's so excited about a Celiac diagnosis (or rather anything but Lyme), because it means he can sweep Lyme under the rug, exactly like the doctor. But it won't help him though, and the doctor who told him to forget about Lyme ultimately doesn't care because he's not the one with it. The edge of science is a fuzzy place, but some people are pushed right up to it!
Connection logs are not the same as logging every URL your customers request, am I correct?
My smartphone is more powerful than PCs several years ago and only slightly larger than a standard computer mouse, with the majority of its internal volume being the battery, so I'm not surprised this could be done.

It's not like the idea of putting the majority of the computing power in one of the peripherals is new either - many early home computers like the C64 and ZX did this with the keyboard, and early game "consoles" appeared with most of their circuitry located in the controller.
Well...we would probably need to factor in the long term costs. Hepatitis C is the leading cause of liver transplantation. The pre-transplant work, surgery, and medical follow up costs on the order of $500,000 each. Not including complications. Obviously everyone with Hepatitis C does not reach cirrhosis to the point of tranplant, but it's still a sizeable number.
Photobox is the parent company, which bought out moonpig, Papershaker and sticky9. Each product is an entirely different codebase and different team working on it (I know because I did some work for Papershaker, part of which was working on a site wide switchover to SSL - which for now you can manually opt into: https://uk.paper-shaker.com/).
People will always complain. We have people asking us for 100k transactions for a 'quick trial'.
Presumably they have copyright permissions. For example, see the work done by Jason Scott of archive.org with the author of Prince of Persia to track down the source, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnEWBtCnFs8 . But it's archive.org and they push the edge; in part because we don't know where that edge is.
Nouning an adjective doesn't help much. I've always heard "metro area" anyway, not just "metro".
The problem begins with loose campaign finance rules which allow money to control who can run for an election. Both primary parties' candidates are beholden to the big money interests which fund their campaigns.

So once they do get elected, they must somehow make laws which benefit (as quietly as possible in the past, but very openly nowadays) the wealthy interests which fund them.
hows that a security feature? If someone has access to your account, end of story.

That being said, a bank which spells out the semantics of how different sorts of transaction will work and doesn't relegate understanding how your account works to reams of fine print or reading a subsection of wikipedia would probably be a refreshing experience.

(and thats without looking at how poorly maintained many bank webapps are, i recently had the experience where BOA complained that chrome mac beta was out of date and I should upgrade to netscape navigator!!!!)
I think what was intended was PDP. (see DEC history on wikipedia)
My startup faces a variant of this problem. Not exactly a recommender system, but it will get more accurate as time goes on. I am compensating by putting an initial value that is a guess, and then it will adjust as time goes on. Sort of messy but necessary.

It sounds like you're saying that in your case, the value will be different for each person, so you don't have a way of seeding it correctly for different people. I sort of think you have to have SOME info to go off of. Sort of like hunch asks you questions, maybe you could do something like that?
Just curious but could you fill me in on what PHP stands for? I've tried googling it but I'm, of course, getting the other PHP.
Hyperbole is a literary tool to emphasize a point and should be put in context knowing this.
I'd just want to quibble a bit about the 'jumping point.'

Rather than the extended MacBook hack, the more recent breast-beating defense of Apple's questionable behavior about the lost iPhone prototype fiasco is what got me to suspect the shark has been left aways behind by DF.

The guy's not a legal scholar and I doubt he'd claim any expertise in this dept. but yet EARLY ON in the ordeal was parroting the legal talking points that law-and-order types were breaking out about how Gizmodo was way out of its journalistic bounds and ever-so-guilty of outrageous criminal activity.

The actual circumstance of a friggin' cell phone being left in a bar by a drunk employee wouldn't produce much notice from anyone but this stupid incident managed to get folks to line up defending one side or the other in a matter that will be obviously moot in a matter of weeks. Then and now.

What's the BFD, I gotta ask Gruber? But he's gotten quite defensive of late. Like today about this thread.
Is there a replay somewhere?

I stopped watching it on CNN after the "abort" because I thought that meant for the rest of the day... :-(
Undercutting your own existing, successful business with a new business better prepared to go into the future.

Specifically, think about Office. MS could have released a web-version of these at a price-point that competed with other web office stacks. Doing so would have put them in position to succeed in the Internet world, but it would have gutted their Office profits in the process.

Given their cost structures are set up around those profits, no sane business person will make that decision. Hense, the dilema: you can see you are going to die to companies who change the rules, you know what you would need to do solve that, but the economics of doing that would mean anybody who really tried would be out on their ear.
If google is making false statements on the matter they will be in for a world of hurt. Its just not likely that large, publicly traded, heavily scrutinized corps like Google are going to lie about matters soon to be litigated.

Meanwhile the individuals in question have zero reason NOT to lie to reporters; they're under no legal obligations and can say what they want.
can some machine learning AI revolutionize consumer intelligence please? i'm a bit tired of being a analyzed to bits without any recourse.
Who knows, but plausibly, yes.

The game, as I understand it,^ is a "yes or no" game. Either Google unionisers get a union or they don't. If they do, what that means will be be worked out later.

So yes, Google plausibly don't want a union (or a big union discussion) enough to take chances with bad PR, or labour court. Totally different scales of threat.

^not well.
It reminds me of the saying that most "revolutions" tend to involve the aristocracy (the 0.1%) and the bourgeoisie (the top 10%), the French revolution is a classic example of this.

The status of the remainder of the population never really changes as a result.
It does happen a lot however it's usually from celebrities who can afford to have a separation of a personal and private life. ie people who's career might be in the public eye but they're career isn't solely based on the fact they're famous (eg sports personalities, actors, musicians, businessmen of household brands).

Where as celebrities who's day job is being a celebrity (eg appearing on "reality" or celebrity game shows) need the publicity because their fame is their product. So for all but the most extreme cases, suing paparazzi would be a bit of a footgun move considering they're often dependant on that free advertising to remain in the public conciousness.
Writing a bash script and sending CSS as headers(!) is a huge and unnecessary waste of time compared to learning how to use Hugo, yes. Learning Hugo takes less than one business day. If your system works for you great, but you are not being time efficient.
Did you ever really think that they'd let ideology get in the way of profit?
Swift also provides a compiler option specifically for debugging long compilation times: "-Xfrontend -warn-long-function-bodies=100"
They've actually bust a lot of African dictators and such it was more or less a success. At least in the short term. Crooks will always come up with a way to launder cash though
> Instagram is often accused of producing artificial images, but there’s something very honest about its commercial system

I think the author has mistaken brazenness for honesty
I wonder what are the currently best established DIY techniques to slow aging. I know low food intake could help, but what else?
I have the feeling that SwiftUI was slightly rushed. Swift's language development has been slow and methodical, with a lot of care put into making sure new language features are not only substantially valuable and well conceived from a design standpoint, but also that they don't risk moving the language in a direction which would limit potentially better possibilities in the future. This can be frustrating, as it means it takes a long time for obvious and useful features to make their way into the language (looking at you variadic generics), but the tradeoff is that Swift is a very elegant and well-designed language which doesn't have some of the awkward edges you see in other languages which have to exist for legacy reasons, like you see in C++.

In that respect, it seems like function builders skipped that whole process. It's not that they're a bad feature, and similar facilities exist in other languages, but the fact that they were added to the language without a lengthy vetting process seems very out of character.

In a way I don't even know if it's really needed. I have a project which uses declarative code to achieve similar goals to SwiftUI, and you can get really close without function builders. For instance, you can write code like this:

var view: [View] {[
Foo(...),
Bar(...),
Baz(...),
]}

It's not quite as clean as the function builder approach, and it doesn't have all the same benefits (i.e. producing a typed result vs an array of protocol instances) but it's very easy to understand and doesn't require any additional language features.

My theory is that since Google has been pushing Flutter aggressively, Apple needed to answer with a "modern" FRP-style workflow for iOS to retain its developer mindshare.
I do appreciate that some people felt unsafe, but I wonder how exactly the messaging was made. Nobody ever came to me and asked how I felt about my work calendar being shared. You can't even get that information from Google.

So this information on sharing was provided to particular people, and they were asked, "do you feel scared?". Presentation is everything, and if presented in terms of how their personal information was included, it can feel different compared to when shown in neutral terms. In addition, if these people were told that the four employees were dangerous or a threat, this will also colour their viewpoints.

Bluetooth and kidney transplant arguments are about two hypothetical stories, and pointing out that if these had happened, it would be weird (well, yes it would, but that's not this story, they are very different).
That's a bit too far into abstract hypotheticals for me. If I steal a candybar from a convenience store and it just happens to be a candybar that wouldn't have sold before it expired and had to be thrown out, is that stealing? If I shop-lift a screwdriver from home depot and then return it a week later is that stealing?
Or the lack of closure under composition. It really f-ing grates.
State-specific experiments always seem to me like an unfair penalty on those who live in states that choose the wrong approach.
It is also good to partner up with someone who is good at building business.
That was one of the questions we hoped to answer.

It pleases me to say that in spite of it being an obvious 'fake' it didn't take mozilla more than a few hours to have the site marked as a phishing site, which I think is really great for them.
Few people write long stories for fun and it's much harder to write a good book then it is to make a good song.

Probably. It might be more equivalent to compare a book with a whole album, or a chapter with a song. I'm not sure what quality of music you have in mind, or what quality of book, but I don't think writing good prose is of necessity significantly more difficult than producing good recorded music.

Sometimes markets shrink or disappear.

Certainly. But when markets disappear because the producers in the market say "I would like X dollars in exchange for this product" and the consumers say "No, we'd rather violate copyright law and procure your product free of charge", it seems to me that something is going on beyond the simple disappearance of a market.

Consumers still want recorded music, and written prose, and all sorts of things that are easy to copy. Many of them just don't feel compelled to give the producers anything in exchange for their work [if they can avoid doing so]. Their work must have value, or else the consumers wouldn't want it.
You seem to be trying to disagree with a comment that basically agrees with yours. The points you raise are covered by common-sense interpretations of what I said.

On point 2 specifically: as hard as it might be to imagine in the US at the moment, in many times and places people doing legitimate law enforcement are intimidated by gangs. This ends up being bad for everyone. While it’s rarely a problem here and now, it ought to be protected against.
I wonder why there's a spike every Monday?
> for some reason we don't collectively take a stand against piracy.

You're assuming we want to 'take a stand.' You're assuming 'taking a stand' would actually do anything. You haven't said what 'taking a stand' actually _is_, other than some vague idea of 'doing something!1!1'

I, for one, will be very sad if our industry tries to 'take a stand' against piracy. It's a fool's errand.
>I'd suggest that if a book on maths and physics doesn't interest you

It's a math textbook. There are thousands of them. What makes this one so special? The fact that it says, "No B.S."? It has a fancy webpage?

It looks pretty standard, and isn't even very cheap.
Yes, but working every waking hour is a good way to burn out. Cleaning your own toilet might be inefficient but it will remind you that you are human.
You might want to check out sublime with the 'Better Coffeescript' and 'CoffeeComplete Plus' packages. I've been using it for a while and, while it's not perfect, it's the best I've found.

The Overton window has passed on that one. Now, no one remembers that sex offender laws were controversial when first instituted, and were a big difference from anything that had happened before. Of course sex is dirty, and people who commit sex crimes should be permanently stained while murderers live freely - the only debate is when people get that stain for something that merely involved nudity, or teenagers get it for molesting themselves.

Sad, really. The Bill of Rights was the only thing protecting us from the wolves, and each amendment has been reduced by the post-Warren courts into a loose guideline or an unenforceable platitude.
I never had a full-frame camera, but I did have a Rebel that I traded for an OM-D. Now I understand the hype.
Not to mention their comment section is unreadable due to font size/spacing.
That's a really neat idea. Thanks, it could be useful.
if early benchmarks find that it scales better on more cores, it will probably be pushed to replace Gecko

if it doesn't seem like the gains are great, they'll probably have to prove that the added safety is worth it
Sure, thats why people are going for f1 or less vs the usual f2 or so on full frame.

To get the sub-cm accuracy you need an RTK GPS system which as I recall is not quite the same thing as DGPS (as DGPS is traditionally thought of).
