This might be the best place to ask. I recently got a Recumbent exercise bike which is compatible with iFit.

Does anyone know any apps which are able to communicate with iFit compatible equipment without needing to use the iFit app? I've got a 1 year free account with them but after that it doesn't really feel like their all offers enough for the monthly cost. Really just looking to log my workouts automatically to save needing to manually add them into something like Google Fit.
> It may not be a good way of persuading people, but it seems there’s no good way of persuading you as you simply refuse to be persuaded.

Have you considered pretending for a moment that my perspective is valid instead of dismissing me like this? I'm aware that we still disagree, that's because of a variety of factors including the fact that we both, as humans, suffer from cognitive biases. But assuming that I can't be reasoned with merely because you've been unable to respond to my arguments isn't getting either of us closer to understanding each other.

> We could argue about the specifics all day, but I think you should ask yourself why you want it to be true.

I don't want it to be true, I don't want any of this crap to be true, the candidates we had are horrible (not speaking ill of Professor Jorgenson, mind you). I'd prefer that there was a reasonable explanation but the problem with this where there's evidence that raises suspicions but no reasonable response is that the losing side feels disenfranchised and that's bad for the country. We want everyone to feel as though their voice was heard.

> Do you seek community?

No I have a decent social life.

> Are you angry inside and need an outlet?

No, I'm fine.

> Of course from your perspective, your position makes perfect sense and isn’t extreme,

Thanks for the video, watching it now.
I'm using FlorisBoard which is amazing!. It's just recently developed and many features still WIP. But excited to see the future!
What's the alternative? Has the FTC, FCC or any other US agency taken any action against the American big tech companies?

The US sees FAANG as its babies and will protect them at all costs. Its up to the rest of the world to rein them in.
Ditched it about 2 years ago. And man, it's so hard! Literally everybody uses it here in the Netherlands as well.

I'm getting strange looks every day when people hear I don't use the platform. It's horrendous.

I also really fear for the moment where I've to tell a nice girl I met that I don't use the platform, and that we should use X other platform instead. I can imagine that to be a letdown or to be weird. That's insane to me.
Yeah. They've been around for decades. Applied Cryptography gives them (excellent book; highly entertaining, yet reasonably mathematical). The gist of it is that:

- Everyone can verify who voted (so number of votes equals number of voters)

- Everyone can verify their individual vote was correctly and uniquely counted

- All votes are released under unique, anonymous identifiers, so anyone can recount all votes

- However, no one can verify anyone else's vote individually

It's pretty awesome! I've watched with gradual shock and horror as voting machines came out and seemed almost designed for riggable elections.
Does that mean that the "default" keyboard on Android does not respect my privacy?
As in, what does it do? Should I be worried about entering username, passwords etc from my Android device?
Good point. But the company was doing quite well before the pandemic, no?
This was also removed (which he sent shortly after the video):

"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!"

I agree with the premise. If your vote is stripped from you then force may be justified as you have no other option. The problem is that votes were not stripped and he knows it.
Probably they'll keep their detection areas overlapping and take down one blimp at a time...
What if it works only in Safari? Apple has done all the hard work, and now what all-other browser vendors have to do is, implement these open standards Apple has developed. Apple do not plan to allow Java,Qt,Flash and all these unnecessary platforms on their devices. Safari is the alternative Apple has. I dont see any reason why other vendors shouldn't embrace Apple's open standards

Stop hating Apple for no reason.
I think this is a wonderful idea. Well done. However, I think that the name is extremely misleading. I was expecting some sort of project management tool ...

Best of luck with this.
For some reason I see the image of the laptop on a person's hand, and imagine somebody saying to him:

"What a weird looking phone!"

I won't get one of these. An EeePC-like laptop, perhaps, but the NanoNote is so small it's ridiculous. What can one possibly do with it?

(Caveat: I'd like the EeePC to do programming, in Vim, and so I may not in the target audience for the NanoNote ... though I still can't figure out what computing tasks it'll be good for)
You should never expose internal incremental user ids in URLs like these. Have a combination of guids that links to the user id in your database.

So let's read again the pop-up message

You’ll need to download Safari to view this demo.
This demo was designed with the latest web standards supported by Safari. If you’d like to experience this demo, simply download Safari. It’s free for Mac and PC, and it only takes a few minutes.

As you see, it doesn't mention that MY BROWSER doesn't support the latest web standards. It simply says, that Safari supports web standards and that if you want to check the demo, download Safari. If you don't want to download Safari, you won't see the demo.

The Message is clear.
You don’t have to enter your card details. Since they are selling physical goods, they can (and do) use Apple Pay and your credit card is already in your phone.

Just to clarify;

Apple Pay - standard credit card processing rates

In-app purchases: 30% cut goes to Apple.
It took me about 2 years to get 10k purchased on my domain generator.

It would be interesting to see how this one does.
To address your points...

Web Apps don't have to use the cloud - I suppose it's possible for a web developer to decide to locally cache all an application's data but it seems like your grasping at straws here. It would require a developer to specifically disregard the overall philosophy of a web based apps and a Cloud OS. Don't get me wrong. In my perfect world Google would force developers not to do this but as it is I don't think it's something you're likely to see much of (my understanding is that Google is focusing on SD usage for media just to prevent this)

On users value of functionality - Again the question comes back to one of "what functionality will they really be losing". Particularly with WebGL and Flash both available to developers I really don't see a functionality gap.

Forcing Android to the Cloud - If you just desperately want to save Android you could absolutely do this but what's the point. If you're going to force everyone to the cloud and you can build your development environment around web based tools than why wouldn't you? More to the point why would Google spend a bunch of time and money turning Android into a Cloud based OS when they already have a Cloud based OS

huhwha? Get off my lawn!
I can think of at least one thing. When you are developing a web app, you don't have to worry about people using out-of-date versions of your app. On the flip side, when you use a web app, upgrades tend to be mandatory.
She did fuck all at google cloud. Far as I can tell she has the credibility of a TED Talk speaker. Why is she trotted out all over the valley? She definitely seems to be more of a socialite than anything else.
Or you could just print it up yourself. Why is it G's responsibility and not yours?
FAANGs go through an incredible number of candidates with only a few slots (comparatively) and the point is to simply make the bar higher and higher.

This doesn't fit the "we can't find candidates, so we need more H1B's" narrative.

Supposedly, there are many open slots, unfilled, so purposefully failing people which can do the job, which meet the minimum requirements, should not be the outcome.

Instead of raising te bar, as you say, due to candidates o'plenty.
> Short of brain damage, I don't think that would ever happen.

Funny you say that. A year ago I went outside to break up a domestic violence situation. I woke up later face down with a brick next to my head. Due to the concussion I forgot my phone's password and that of my ATM card. It took me six months to remember them, although by then I had replaced both.

Shit happens.
Nice to see some innovate architecture for an editor but this product launch reminds me to product launches from Apple or Google: it doesn't matter what product or feature is shown, there is always tons of premature praise.

If an unknown third party came up with Atom it would have never gotten that attention.

ST3 is a very good product viewed from any angle and VIM either—it will be hard to beat these reference products. I love Node/npm and again the stack sounds great but I don't know if this stack will be much easier to extend than something like ST3 or VIM.

What I have seen from a product perspective on the Atom landing page does not blow me away, not at all. And it is wether free nor open source.

But it's from Github and that's reason enough to vote it up.
The Shuttle may not have been a weapons platform, but it was designed specifically with military missions in mind. It was given it's massive cross-range capability (those massive wings (and mass that goes with them)) so that it could return from polar orbit missions. There was an idea of going into polar orbits and literally snatching Russian spy satellites out of the sky and flying them back to the ground.

No polar orbit missions were ever performed, however there were several classified DoD missions to orbits with lower inclinations.
Also, often times the computer that aren't capable of going on 5Ghz WiFi networks have lots of problems connecting. 5Ghz networks are capable of handling more connections and don't have as many problems with interference. All new macs and most new smartphones are capable of 5Ghz. Although many PCs may only be capable of 2.4Ghz, which can have many problems with interference. If you have any questions about your setup and how to do it cheaply, email me at shrav@hshacks.com.
Cool and if I combine it with http://www.scala-js.org/ I'll be able to run scala on the jvm.
Commit is not needed if the next version includes a dropbox-like sync to your github repo.

I'm pretty sure it's one of the reasons to come up with its own desktop editor (that later can be also used online) -- to bridge the gap.
A suspicious mind could also suspect that it is an attempt to limit availability of additional shares on the open market, preventing existing short sellers from covering their positions en masse. Musk said something to this effect during the previous capital raise.

Tesla has a ~30% short interest, which contributes to the ridiculous volatility of the stock.
From Tesla's 10-k, "While our plan is to attempt to produce lithium-ion cells and finished battery packs for our Gen III vehicles at a new Tesla Gigafactory, our plans for such production are at a very early stage. We have no experience in the production of lithium-ion cells, and accordingly we intend to engage partners with significant experience in cell production and to date we have not formalized such partnerships. In addition, the cost of building and operating the Tesla Gigafactory could exceed our current expectations and the Tesla Gigafactory may take longer to bring online than we anticipate."

Dear MtGox Customers,

As there is a lot of speculation regarding MtGox and its future, I would like to use this opportunity to reassure everyone that I am still in Japan, and working very hard with the support of different parties to find a solution to our recent issues.

Furthermore I would like to kindly ask that people refrain from asking questions to our staff: they have been instructed not to give any response or information. Please visit this page for further announcements and updates.

Sincerely,
Mark Karpeles

Dear MtGox Customers,

In light of recent news reports and the potential repercussions on MtGox's operations and the market, a decision was taken to close all transactions for the time being in order to protect the site and our users. We will be closely monitoring the situation and will react accordingly.

Best regards,
MtGox Team
The reason leaks matter is because the credit card system uses magic numbers and later looks to see that everyone is okay with the transactions they list. They can move away from this to something with more built in security. That makes leaks matter less.

We disagree that managing a bitcoin wallet is a better option than traditional banking. That's fine.

edit: That last bit sounds smug now. I don't mean it that way, I mean I don't think we are going to get anywhere going back and forth over it.

"However Apple's potential here is hugely overstated. ARM licensees aren't at the whim of ARM -- they knew to sign generous IP agreements that essentially allow them to fork the technology."

Do you mean companies like Marvell have comprehensive licenses allowing them to design their ARM cpu at their own will?
Great article Dan. Culture is such an intangible unquantifiable thing that many people overlook. While I do agree on the 4 points you mentioned I believe that alot of company culture bleeds out of the personality of the CEO. They usually set the precedent and tone especially in a small startup.
This article is doublepluspink. Right honey?

GTG girls, Big Sis is on the screen, and it's time for the two-minute bitch.
It is a carefully guarded secret. ;)
You're not stuck. You've just got to become a better developer, which you can do by practicing a lot and learning everything you can outside of work.
Consider C--[1] as a first-pass approximation. It'll probably treat you pretty well. Or LLVM[2], actually, the new hotness[3]. Let the hard-but-shared-across-languages optimization part be done by existing systems.

[3] Yes, I've got a thing for LLVM. Can you blame me?
well, maybe the simplest approach is to say "hey, would you like me to send you sensitive documents via email as i've been doing, or I could use certified registered mail and include the over head of doing that in my billable hours", since as you've said, a tech solution kinda rules itself out
What numbers did you base yourself on for the Toy Story claim? I'm curious.
I would consider the mod operator to be pretty basic though. (Feel free to call me out if I'm just being naive.)

Outside of the mod operator, you could always use a combo of floor() and ceiling() (which I assume most languages have in a standard library). e.g.:

from math import floor,ceil
def divisible_by_3(n):
result = n / 3.0
return ceil(result) == floor(result)

Or even more basic:

def divisible_by_3(n):
result = n / 3.0
return int(result) == result
> thailand. and make it more than a month. A cheap cabin just off the beach is $100/month with cleaning lady.

Yeah, but for anyone going to Thailand: Don't pre-pay for a month anywhere, there's a decent chance you won't like the first city you wind up. I was going crazy in Bangkok after a week so I caught an overnight train to Chiang Mai and much preferred it there, stayed there for the rest of the month my visa was good for. Staying flexible is good travel advice anyways, but especially in Thailand where various places are very, very different.
You need to learn about control and responsibility. See, you have become responsible for your work, but you were not in control of it. Your employers have controlled it, and you let them by not pushing back on their decisions, which is understandable if you need work. I've done it. The problem is you are also now responsible for this work, because your name is on it. You're now screwed because the rest of the world assumes that you were both in control and responsible.

That's how you got in this situation, and the sad thing is, that's how it usually goes. You work on whatever projects you can find, never really getting anything challenging or even in good taste, and then when you go to get your next job you have nothing to show for your work. Cycle repeats.

The way you break out of this pattern is with open source. Open source lets you be both responsible and in control. You choose what you're working on, you do the work, you get your name on it. It's all you. You can start your own project, work on someone else's, and even blog about it. You get the recognition and you get experience with people interested in the new stuff, not the crap you do at work.

This is how I've had to work for a decade or more. Nobody I work for is interested in letting me do something interesting or challenging. I go to work and work on very mundane things, and then go home and write advanced algorithms to create web servers and bizarre protocols for fun.

If it weren't for open source, I'd still be working as an enterprise Java douchebag. Open source and writing literally saved me from the "industry" more than once and kept my love of code alive long past any love of the job.
check out santiago, chile. its cheap, and has a huge european influence from what i have read.
In your opinion, what languages have the best return on investment when it comes to IR, ML and related data sciences?
Great app. I wouldn't recommend using it in a theater, though (the original inspiration).
I've seen in Turkish forums people discussing driving Uber in the USA through proxy accounts because they cannot do it themselves legally on a tourist visa or because they were banned.

I would guess that if this is a widespread practice it is only a secret to the outsiders. Probably an investigation can find a way to frame this known secret in a way that is legally accepted in the court of law.
I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. I enjoy it so far. My only criticism is that I wish it had something in the way of exercises. It's a lot of copying (typing) code and it explaining what the code is doing and the concepts behind what you've written. That's a good approach, but I enjoy thinking through things on my own a little as well then being told how the author would have done it and why. Otherwise very good!
I know this is just "whataboutism". But the exact same comments are being made against mini-cab/black cabs all over this thread.

"I rode a black cab once before Uber and it was awful."

I'll trust the research from TFL rather than random anecdotes from either side, thanks.
Having the US Dept of Commerce over it is the least bad option right now though
ok thank you.

I don't have FT subscription. But 43 out of 45k drivers seems like a pretty good number, certainly not a ban worthy number.
That's probably more due to zoning regulations that construction costs, no? I was under the impression that zoning in the Bay Area makes new construction very difficult.
I'm not a fan of companies like Uber or AirBnB who attempt a violent takeover of a market. However, as a consumer who needs to get from A to B, or stay at some random city, I find those services invaluable. The black cabs in London are expensive, never around when you need them, and until recently might have refused card payments (now they just seem unhappy about it). At the very least I was hoping Uber would make that industry wake up and join the modern world, but instead they chose to protest and block roads. With Uber, I always have a car available within minutes and the prices are reasonable. I just hope that the competition will take their place (and driver mass) if they do end up leaving.

Granger makes a strawman of the coding-as-literacy concept by focusing on mechanical coding (as in "coding technician": someone who receives the requirements for a subroutine and implements it without any imagination).

Someone exploring topics in computing in an interactive environment isn't doing that.

Internet usage is 39% globally [1]. I doubt there are any statements you can make that apply to 2.85 Billion People. Feels like you are ascribing your personal opinion/beliefs/experiences to "people" in general.

I'm confused by this comment. That sounds like a savings account you're talking about. But a T-Bill grows at inflation + (small percentage, though probably still less than GDP growth). And a stock market fund grows faster still (and in general, the stock market has shown sustained growth when measured over decades--though one might question that after the last 15 years). Given an index fund invested in 1929, you would have growth beyond what the economy experienced during that period, right?

There are questions about how you'd manage a multi-trillion dollar fund: you'd eventually reach the point where you can't just use index funds. But other than that, your comment doesn't seem accurate.

Edit: What is true is that there is a limit to what your investment could become. For obvious reasons, it can't be more than the wealth of the world, and there would be asymptotic behavior at even less than that.
It doesn't even have to be intentional malice:

You can limit the damage by keeping backups, and running software you don't really trust under a limited account. The latter is understandably more difficult with certain applications, but it's once again one of those security-usability tradeoffs.

I basically avoid installing much in the way of new software as much as I can, as my existing setup does what I need, and anything new gets subjected to careful scrutiny first, but this is not a workable solution for everyone. Nevertheless, I can see how those with an attitude that makes them very eager to install and try new software could also make them more vulnerable to things like this.
Don't get your hopes up, the procedure is patented.
