In a lot of cases this can be due to licensing restrictions. These companies may not have licenses to allow streaming off of the mobile app to a big screen. It has less to do with the company and more to do with the content licensor (who may have previously licensed the content to someone else with exclusive rights to TV but not to mobile).

Content licensing and not technical issues are usually the reason for these annoying practices. Blame the content owner.

I felt the most emphatic "no" when I read the headline. It is a form of power to be granted the ability to deceive without social repercussions. It is unethical to turn science into an institution of power; it is already tangled up with many such institutions, and many of them control medicine and many have done atrocious things to human beings. Science without ethics degrades science and turns it into an apparatus of violence.
I was born in China and later live in Australia. My perspective changed. Humans are so good at making a mess but the attitude of the people can result a big mess or a small mess. If the people coordinate and have freedom to care about more than own survival, can together look after the planet very well. I read before Sweden (I think) have 99% recycling rate.
Amazon doesn't support the current Apple TV or Google's Chromecast, so I doubt they'll support the new Apple TV either. Maybe they think this is an effective way to get people to buy a Fire TV or Fire TV Stick.
They mentioned at the event when they announced the pricing of the new model, that the old apple tv will still be sold for 69$ (source: my memory and http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/09/apple-announces-fourth-g... )
> I can't imagine shelling out near a $1,000+ for this thing (lets price in the keyboard and other accessories)

About $1350 for the cellular base model with a keyboard and stylus.
A clear piece, but the situation for government employees seems highly convoluted.
> but I don't think Rust's concurrency primitives are either given the (very real, very bad) possibility of deadlock.

OK. Then I don't know what to say. An infinite loop is a deadlock. Unless you have a programming language that can guarantee termination, you can't prevent deadlocks statically.

So yes, I think a brief marketing pitch of "safe and easy concurrency" is totally appropriate given the domain Rust is shooting for. In fact, it is one of Rust's strengths, so to not advertise it as such would be quite odd.

> Which are a good start, but only a partial solution without coroutines (and the other additions you mentioned).

OK. But you said "And because Rust doesn't provide higher level concurrency tools than threads and mutexes" which just isn't true. I'm trying to clear up what it is Rust does have. I'm not saying it has everything. Writing software takes time.
Does the cumulative "push" of "demand" into the "future" not have the systemic effect that in the future, there will be "current" demand?

This is one thing I've never understood about this whole "inflation incentivizes people into spending now rather than later". If we're simply pushing the demand into the future, aren't there already people from the past whose "future time to spend" is the current moment?

<opinion type="rant">
From my perspective, all that I see inflation doing is artificially forcing people to put more money into the stock market and investing than they should be.
> I dunno - Apple kind of killed NFC adoption by waiting so long to finally include it. They should have had it back in 2012.

Well, they did Apple Pay. NFC is just an implementation detail, and NFC payments is far from dead
My dad loves his iPad he got one with a keyboard cover. I think he does everything he can on it.

Before that he got a bulky Vista laptop that was on sale. He said that he felt silly walking around the airport with it when everyone else had some light tablet.
Yeah, I'm with the other commenter.

I would still be using my iPad for development, except for the fact that I found the 9.5" screen to be just too limiting. The other reason was that all the bluetooth keyboards require a separate cable for charging, which I hate.

The larger screen and the fact that they keyboard cover is powered by the tablet itself makes this super compelling.

Not for my "every day development" machine, but for use on road trips or so I can go spend some time in the middle of the woods without a full-sized laptop in tow.

Also, the updated screen tech for the pencil hopefully means I don't need to buy a separate Wacom tablet.
If you try to estimate power spectral density using the intuitive unbiased estimator (the DFT), you are going to have a bad time. A vanilla periodogram has very high sideband leakage, which means that the energy of the signal at a single frequency will look as if it "smeared out" across neighboring frequencies. The standard solution to this is to use the so-called 'modified periodogram' where the implicit rectangular window is replaced by a different windowing function with lower sideband leakage. In general, there is a direct tradeoff between sideband power and center frequency power, and in this application, you would do well to use a different window, such as the blackman-harris, or hamming window. See [1] for more details.

In addition even the modified periodogram discussed above has asymptotically nonzero variance [2], which means no matter how many samples you take, you will still have 'noise' in your PSD estimate. If you use biased estimators of the periodogram, such as the welch-bartlett method or the blackman-tukey algorithm, you will get much better results.

When I was a kid, I had a psychologist who ratted out many of the things I told him, supposedly "in confidence," to my parents. It was a deceptive abuse of doctor-patient confidentiality , and I promptly stopped talking to him when I found out he had deceived me.

In general, I would say "no." It's never okay for a psychologist to deceive their patients, or to experiment on people without their knowledge. Talking to a professional about mental health issues puts a person in a vulnerable position. When a psychologist abuses that vulnerability, it is an extreme betrayal that would make it less likely for the patient to be able to open up to anyone else about their issues, thus obstructing their ability to receive mental health treatment in the future.

Performing psychological experiments on people without their knowledge could similarly aggravate underlying psychological issues, with potentially serious consequences. This is some Nazi doctor-level shit.

Mental health issues are in some ways more problematic than physical health issues, because culturally we don't take them as seriously as "real" diseases. Too often our medical system treats mental health issues as a moral inadequacy, not a health issue. The fact that we even think twice about the question posed in the OP shows how seriously messed up our priorities are.

If deflation encourages hoarding, why don't we see that in items that are well understood to be deflationary? An example is technology. Everyone knows that the value of their smartphone will decrease by ~25-50% a year, but we still purchase them.

Economists discount deflation as being dangerous with just one sentence (it encourages hoarding). Are there any examples of deflation actually being harmful in an economy? There are plenty of examples of inflation being dangerous [0]. Technology is an example where deflation does not encourage hoarding.

Their ability to churn out better and better devices, year after year, is what's remarkable. That we come to expect it, and don't consider it news, is a testament to their achievement. This is not normal; the industry -- both hardware & software -- is plagued with regressions, with many older models or releases that are preferred by the users to newer ones. Apple are truly unique in their ability to deliver improvements, introduce new technologies, and implement existing technologies in ways that are actually usable, while keeping regressions and serious problems low, much lower than the competition.

What's the best Microsoft desktop OS? Which is the best Dell screen? Which is the best keyboard? Motorola phone? The current year's Apple lineup has always been better than the last year's, and that's what the "best ever" statements mean to me, and I believe that's what they mean to the target audience: "This is new, and it works at least as well as the old stuff."

Which other company, which other product line of comparable complexity, introduces features without compromising usability?

They were _possible_ in 2012 but getting everyone on board is difficult. Google included NFC on the Nexus S in 2010. The Nexus S was an atrocious piece of junk compared to its contemporary, the iPhone 4. NFC did nothing to make using the Nexus S more pleasurable. Android beam? Nobody used that. Google did not release the NFC-capable Wallet app until 2011, and at that time the integration between the app, the phone (still the Nexus S) and the payment terminals was ghastly. Nobody used it because it was much slower than paying by any other way and half the time it didn't work. The 2011 Galaxy Nexus didn't make things any better. The NFC antenna was attached to the flexible battery cover and the spring-loaded contacts didn't really work. Google was still pushing Wallet but the merchants didn't care because they weren't getting a better price on transaction clearance and close to nobody had the hardware.

NFC was a complete basket case, and still remains that way except for Apple.
NeXT used the 68k from inception to purchase by Apple. While they tinkered with 88k and PPC, they never shipped those.
Hi, author here -- I agree, the BladeRF is overkill for this kind of application. But, we were done with what we needed it for and it was just sitting around our lab so we decided to use it. I did use an RTL-SDR to poke around in the lower half of UHF, though.
It's worth noting that a big part of the Common Lisp spiel was that it was suitable for very large applications which needed to be maintained for a long time. So the two (terseness and large-scale development) need not be mutually exclusive.

(On the line of your point, though, maybe it's a shame that relatively-verbose languages like Ada and Modula-3 became social pariahs because their virtues are hard to demonstrate in the small.)
Well, at some point it's limited by population...

That's actually not true. IF can be implemented in terms of LAMBDA.

Interesting to hear a user not interested in the angle of the screen. This is something that is a big concern for productivity focused sessions on any device. Mainly comfort and posture come to mind, but I also think viewability is worth mentioning. It is one of the reasons why monitors tilt. It looks like the the iPad Pro is limited to one angle when the keyboard is in use. I am curious to see how consumers deal with the first-gen and how apple will solve this going forward.
How to Safely Implement Cryptography Features in Any Application
God is perfectly just. Little dumb fucken psy-op niggers, LOL.
I still disagree: the problem is not the number of dimensions, the problem is that the physics is wrong.

If one flips the rubbersheet, the geodesics are the same, but clearly now the model doesn't match our intuition. Indeed the objects are attracted by the mass because of the Earth's gravitational potential, not because of the rubbersheet curvature. The balls are following the variation in height of the sheet (in a sense a first order variation) not the curvature of it (the second order variation). The model is bending the wrong component (space, instead of time), and with the wrong sign (the geodesics are repelled by the mass).

As pointed out by Ron Maimon in this answer:
http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/1019/common-false...

a much better explanation can be offered introducing proper time and the effect of gravity on it.
You confuse advertising and marketing.

Marketing is the process of figuring out who a product is for and how to get them to want to buy it (through channels like engineering, design, and yes, advertising). Apple being an excellent marketing company isn't a slur — it's an incredible complement. They absolutely excel at understanding who their target audience is, building devices that appeal to that audience, and advertising to ensure that audience is aware of how those devices address needs they may not have even known they had.
Of course. And don't get me wrong, the iPad is far from worthless and Apple is far from Trivial in the space. The point is that Apple is no longer the leader/innovator in the space. Perhaps I am wrong, but I think that a lot of iOS devices get sold on intangibles rather than concrete benefits or capabilities. Apple has created tremendous value in these intangibles by being so awesome/innovative/ahead for the last 8 years, that has created a tremendous amount of loyalty in iOS users and sells a LOT of iOS devices every single generation despite the substantial (to most people) costs. People who depend on tech to make their living (often) require more than intangible benefits, and the competition has now caught/surpassed them as far as tech goes, and usually for a lower price.

That is a good point that I didn't address. Deferring spending in perpetuity is worthless unless someone gains some personal satisfaction merely from saving.
GCM is "authenticated encryption". That means that it's a cipher construction that provides both confidentiality and integrity, in one hermetically sealed capsule. Most legacy crypto (and most of the crypto in TLS) provides integrity checking as a separate operation; it will, for instance, take confidentiality from AES-CBC, and authentication from (say) HMAC-SHA1. This works fine, but requires that implementations do joinery between the cipher and the MAC.

Every iteration of TLS prior to the version that began providing authenticated encryption (of which GCM is the only widely compatible option) has gotten this joinery wrong.

There are workarounds for the resultant bugs, but it's better, when possible, to enable the version of TLS that enables GCM, and prefer the GCM ciphersuites.
But they aren't refusing to upgrade internal storage. 128 GB is an option now, and I'm sure it will grow with time.

And you can also use iCloud alternatives (we use Flickr and Dropbox on iOS for photos and movies, as iCloud is too pricey and inflexible).

Your argument was relating to the 16 GB option of the phone, but asked the question "is control over our own data dead?" in connection with that 16 GB version. I was unsure why you asked that because of two things: 16 GB is an option, not the only size available; and one still has ultimate control over their own data, be it on the cloud or local.

I was speaking specifically to that person, not for the general case. Kundalini yoga is not the only way to awaken and work with the Kundalini. For example, a martial art enthusiast might check out Scott Meredith and Damo Mitchell's books to develop refined power and connect with Shakti through their martial arts.

Believe or not, you can get in touch with this heart experience that going to evangelical Christian revivals (there are some severe shadow sides related to this, however, there are Christian mystics around) or go attend kirtans. There are shamanic methods. Or just go to a rave and really open up your heart while dancing. Mindful prayers, asking to be guided into this will be heard.

Email me sometime. Maybe in the course of talking, what you say will remind me of a path that may really resonate with you.
Market changes - POS credit card machines were scheduled to be phased out in favor of chips and NFC by EOY2015 [1].

Apple Pay didn't come out of the blue. The impending POS infrastructure change created the opportunity to launch a better payments user experience in the 2014-2015 timeframe. Apple knew this, and developed/acquired/refined a better security method (touchID + tokenization) and corresponding user experience to negotiate on favorable terms with banks and merchants, which sealed the deal for many and created momentum toward getting stragglers onboard and reaching broad market penetration.

Just adding an NFC chip and calling it a day changes nothing. Few markets are penetrated by hardware - or even hardware and software - alone.

Thank you for this! We'll do some more research and look into modifying spectrum_sense.

According to the Programming Guide [1], no persistent data can be stored in the device, everything should be in iCloud, and the maximum size of the Apps is 200MB (at any given point, it seems, you can use on-demand resources)

This is an interesting way of trying to squeeze more apps and circumvent some of the latests storage-related issues in iOS

It’s a podcast. Listen to it. (I agree the payoff isn’t the best in this case, but you are missing at least 99% of its quality by just reading it. You gotta listen. Being well produced is what these podcasts are all about. Also, most of the time the payoff is actually better or the stories are structured in a way that payoff is not necessary. I still think this is excellent for providing context and mood. And: Labs in containers are cool.)

Yes, to compare, Surface Pro 3 still has the fan(!) but even so twice as little pixels.

The way Amazon has tried to edge itself in is by supplying custom content, both in TV and games. Netflix has kept its edge with content, HBO has kept it's edge with content. Whether you like Amazon's content is up for debate, but what's not up for debate is Apple is behind in this regard.
My lab is moving to a new building that was to have wireless flat panel displays on the wall for all professors, each occupying a different band. As we work on RF detectors, this was not ideal, so we (and some other groups) complained and now everyone will have wired displays instead. Small victories...
> "raise a huge round because money is cheap" is misleading and founders in these large rounds are actually giving up large amounts of control.

When the money is cheap it means they aren't giving up control relative to when money is expensive. There is a phenomenon in tech VC right now, which is the money is beholden to the tech talent and not the other way around. That's not usually the case, historically speaking. Not to mention, some of these rounds are liquidity events for founders who are looking to cash out personally (i.e. look at Groupon's $800m IPO raise and follow the money).

> My personal opinion is that many companies are showing impressive revenue growth but glossing over core profitability, and these companies will have a tough time fixing that.

I see what you're saying, but don't think it's necessarily true. Branding and network effects are real things. That's why finance is loving tech right now...if you can buy your land grab and then created a castle with a moat over a 5-10 year time period, there are some serious rewards of establishing a new brand with longevity at relatively low risk.

There's going to be a time (soon) where profitability does matter, it's just not now.
Bazel's opinionated nature is it's blessing and curse. If you follow it's rules (fairly simple, internally consistent, and well thought out), it's amazing, and you need think a lot less about "where does this file go?", etc. If you don't have all those rules in your head, or if you're inconsistent about them, it's a nightmare.

Thankfully, it's a nightmare that can be fixed, and it behooves you to do so: Bazel's simple artifacts and build speedups are well worth the time you spend converting to it.

>It's reasonable to want to remove members of society who are dangerously violent, or "cheaters" of sufficient scope. Yet iterate this desire over enough time, and it takes on a life of its own: politicians who want to look tough on crime, parents who want their fears assuaged, private companies who want to profit from correctional tax dollars, and most insidiously, the swaths of police, prison guards, and support staff who want paychecks, benefits and job security.

Of course, this assumes all the actors were initially well-intentioned, which they weren't. Plenty of people supported harsh policies of criminalization and "justice" because they wanted to come down hard on the dark-skinned and the poor.
What you just described is exactly how Apple killed NFC adoption.

The lack of NFC, or even announcing plans for NFC, from Apple made it very difficult to develop anything useful for NFC. Without universal market share and with an uncertain future, NFC was avoided by many hardware developers who would have built anything useful.

June 2012 was the hinging point because it was when NFC payments were just picking up steam, but Apple elected to try to build their own walled-garden payments system using Passbook and bar codes.
