> Assuming your bike has gears it's almost no effort to get started again from gear

I specifically mentioned "emergency stop (presumably at high gear)". Unless you have a very sophisticated bike, you can't change gears once stopped.

Obviously I never talked about going through red lights, since for red lights you always have time to switch to a lower gear beforehand, and stopping isn't optional anyway.
I would say the title is misleading. Their developer account was cancelled because they violated the NDA. Apple didn't "pull the app", the app becoming unavailable is just a side effect of the dev account being cancelled.

iFixit could get the app back in the store in a few days by signing up for a new dev account. But they don't want to do that because, as they say, the app is buggy and they want to focus on the mobile site anyway.

So, the title is clickbait. Apple didn't censor the iFixit app. But no one would read an article titled "Apple terminates developer account after contract violation".

Either that, or each ethnic block was given a customised email in a funny attempt at "localisation" -- not that I really believe such to be the case.
I find it fascinating how we can often consider our own native language the "obvious" way of doing things.

I once had a frustrated student talk to me about a Japanese colleagues pronunciation. He said words like "fight" with the stereotypical vowel tacked onto the end so they became "fighto". I explained that Japanese is divided up in units like ka, bu, to and so on. The student replies "Why doesn't he just say the first half of 'to'?" to which I replied "Try saying the first half of 'b'".
That's basically how Sweden responded to their banking crisis.
It's extemely simple to fake the sender of email. That's what probably happened.

Tell HN: ggventurini, author of python-deltasigma and akhab, has died
It is with great sadness that I announce to you that Giuseppe Venturini (@ggventurini), open source developer and hobbyist, has passed away on the 21st of September 2015.

Giuseppe worked for many years at CERN, as an electronics engineer. He was a passionate hobbyist and an open source enthusiast. He has started many open source projects over the years, more remarkably python-deltasigma and akhab. I had the pleasure to meet him and, although we were not close friends, I know he was appreciated by everyone as a kind person.

I didn't have any contact with Giuseppe over the last months, so, it's hard to know how he would like us to remember him. However, I am sure he would appreciate some form of contribution to cancer research:

Question: is the prize to reward the receiver or to elevate the giver?
This story talks about London Black cabs, but the consultation is about private hire taxis. So the article is comparing disimilar things.

Uber's problems with the existing private hire regulations are the need for an agreed price before travel.

The proposed minimum wait time feels stupid. I'd be interested to see how that's justified.

The requirement for a fixed landline probably has some weak justification, but it feels like something that's rapidly approaching obsolesance.

I'm normally pretty anti-Uber, but the proposals in the article don't seem to focus on my priorities. (Which would be to stop taxi drivers from discriminating against people with disabilities).
It's simple: Eat more fat.

The bacteria that processes fat (bacterocides) obviously needs fat to survive. By not eating fat you effectively kill your ability to process fat.

The rise in low fat products, coincides with the rise in obesity. One is not the cure for the other -it's the cause of the other.
'Imagine a world where your device never needs to be plugged in to charge but is permanently powered from free, unused energy that is in the air around us.'
true but again just a part of the problem (although a big one).

I recall, back in 2004 during summer break, I worked 6 weeks in LA (Universal Studios), and then moved to Maine to work in some resort. Needless to say, those places were continents apart. In those 4 weeks in Maine, I've seen roughly 5 fat people, non obese (also cca 2 black... err african american altogether).

Different attitudes to activities, moving around and sport, different eating habits etc. They all play the game together to produce the result we all can see.

You want to have a real clue what you eat? Either do it yourself, or eat as much raw stuff as possible. Over time, you will get used to it and processed food will taste like a canal cooking.
Smoking reduces your appetite, leading to less eating and less weight.

(Warning; recruiter talking here.)
It's probably hard to stop my spammy 'colleagues'. If I'm correct they are sending you messages to your private email address, so we're not talking about LinkedIn here?

Perhaps you can create rules in your inbox that automatically put messages with the subject containing "job opportunity" directly in your spambox. The spammy recruiters aren't very creative in the mail titles, so look for the common patterns and direct-to-spam those.

If we are talking about Linkedin, I know a guy that uploaded an avatar with him wearing a clowns wig, that stopped a lot of recruiters approaching him :-).

[W]hen the normal is that both adults in a household works, that's a [ed: 28%] pay cut (or a 72% increase, if one goes down to 6 hour workday, and the other one gets a job as a result of the introduction of a six hour work day).

In the context of the public sector, one is mostly shuffling money around (welfare vs pay/pension) -- but with tangible health effects: for better or worse, very simply, people are generally better off if they have a job, if the job isn't too hard for them (social aspects of having co-workers, sense of worth etc).

I'm not sure about Sweden, but Norway in practice (through union regulation) have a 37.5 hour work week. And a six-hour day then means 30 hour week. Some sectors do have a 40 hour work week (8 * 5), but also here six hour day, would generally mean 30 hour week.

In Norway hourly compensation is still not the norm (except for overtime) - nominal hourly wage is based on a yearly pay divided by 1950 hours (37.5 * 52 - including holyday pay). I think the idea of paying people per hour worked is flawed in general, even if it seems good on the surface. You pay people to be an employee, to use their skills to help a business or organization succeed. I don't think you can often gauge a persons value by hours worked, and it makes for odd incentives (eg: you get paid more, the slower you work).

Again from the perspective of the public sector, I think, in general, that one wants people to have a "full time" job, and pay taxes accordingly -- which implies they should be paid accordingly. That is part of the premise of a six hour work day -- that you can get "a days work" done in six hours, that working more isn't really good for you or your employer in general. Things like sick leave, efficiency when at work, years of a life that can be spent working -- all points towards six hours making more sense than eight.

We probably do need more data -- we have much more experience with eight hour days/40 hour weeks than with six hour days.

I also think it's important to avid the "one size fits all trap" -- not all work is the same. But that also means that just because Ford thought 8 hours was great for factory workers, it might not be the best model for most modern work.

I think the 1mm/hour refers to accretion depth-wise across the entire existing diamond surface area. So conceivably (but probably subject to other factors that would complicate matters) if you started with a .001 mm thick diamond slice with 4656 mm^2 surface area and applied this process on one side then it would take 3 hours to get a 3mm-thick diamond slice.
That's very good hint, thanks.

The USPTO isn't required to follow court rulings. The MPEP (Manual of Patent Examining Procedure) isn't even updated to reflect what the courts say unless the PTO likes it.

If you don't like what PTO says, you can always just go to your local federal courthouse to sue for your patent. And the PTO gets sued all the time.

The courts are split on the idea of software patenting because the Supreme Court doesn't understand what software is. Nobody alive can reconcile Benson, Flook, Diehr, Bilski, and Alice. There were four Supreme votes in 2010's Bilski that pure software logic was unpatentable but software that changed the hardware to make it work better was patentable and the example of eligibility was linear programming and compression. Only Scalia was smart enough to see the problem there and even he can't articulate why.

The CAFC -- the patent appeals court -- is relentless in overturning Supreme Court precedents against software patents. Known for being contemptuous of the law and harboring a deeply corrupt majority, the CAFC sees software patents as a gravy train for the patent bar and a permanent tax on a major industry for the benefit of the judges and their friends. Their opinions on the most awful abusive patents reflect a pirate's mentality deliberately ignoring cheating to reach the most harmful conclusions.

One of the reasons why Swedes find it most necessary to push for this (they don't to any large extent, but when countries do, Swedes will be among the first) is that we don't do 9-5, we do 8-5 (white collar) or 7-4 (blue collar) because we have 45-60 minutes of unpaid lunch break. As a swede, the term "9-5" sounds like a holiday really!

I'm betting that increased use of antibiotics is a key factor. Antibiotics are used in livestock management to increase feed efficiency. And young adults today have taken far more antibiotics than young adults had done in the 60s. So they use food more efficiently.
I just did this (from [1]):

And not `sudo chown $(whoami):admin /usr/local`. Are both really necessary?

In Slovak language you can even have single consonant words: s=with, z=from, k=to, v=in. I'm currently cleaning up Slovak corpus and trying to find all the words without vowels but I have some 5000 more to go (there was 30000 words but most of them are shortcuts). I think there will be around ~300 words. Czech language will have more because they can use past tense masculine verb without vowel - SK: zhltol, CZ: zhltl (chrt prv zhltl hrst zrn - grayhound first swallowed handfull of seeds)

The article doesn't mention a single time the word bail-in, which is the single most important change in banking regulation and what is likely to make bail out (i.e. tax payers recapitalizing a bank) unlikely.

A bail in is the power of the regulator to declare a bank non viable and to force losses on debt holders over a week end. This effectively auto-recapitalizes a bank without having the messy consequences of a bankruptcy, by forcing losses on creditors in the same fashion as a bankruptcy.

The article doesn't mention either that banks have more twice the amount of capital they held before the crisis and are required to hold massive amounts of liquid assets.

> I think the push towards vegetarianism, low-fat, low-carb, etc as fads combined with industrialization of food has done a lot of harm to the public.

What's wrong with vegetarianism? I would think it has lots of benefits. It's better for the environment, you don't risk eating very processed meat filled with hormones and additives, from animals often kept in horrible conditions. The meat industry is a textbook example of industrialization, which you consider very harmful. So what's the beef with vegetarianism?
>In general, banks that break regulations don't result in people going to jail because individuals take action to avoid personal responsibility for anything. There are literally hundreds of thousands of pagers of them, nobody really understands them, and regulators decide which ones to take seriously according to the political winds of the day.

It's more to do with a lack of prosecutorial oversight and a lack of political will than a lack of laws being broken. If Obama wanted to, he could toss Sarbanes-Oxley at the bank executives - they wouldn't even have to prove that they knew about the fraudulent and criminal behavior underneath in order to make those charges stick.

The mere fact that they turned a blind eye would be enough to put them in an orange jumpsuit.

The regulators have been talking about getting tough for two years but still show no signs of actually doing it (typical Obama play). I doubt they will unless Bernie enters the white house. Obama's not going to risk his cushy retirement of paid speaking gigs at Goldman Sachs.

The argument is that these onerous regulations are easier for a large bank to comply with, than for a startup to comply with. i.e. the regulations entrench the big players.

The only problem is that after the update, the /usr/local belongs to root again. That's easily fixed with a chown though.

Apps still have access to the raw UNIX filesystem. The only restriction is that they can't write to /usr, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /System and into pre-installed Apple apps. Normally, Apps shouldn't need write access to these directories.

Court of appeals document here: http://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/opinions/10/10-6244.pdf

The first article I linked mentions finding his wristwatch where the body was. But I can't find another source on that so perhaps they made it up. (Or maybe it's in some of the linked documents in their article.) The court of appeals doc does note that Glossip did not mention Sneed's involvement until after the body was found. There's "made mistakes" and there's "was really covering up a murder".

Attempting to cover up a murder - that is, helping a murderer get away with it - is that not often being an accomplice or accessory (there seems to be some difference of what determines what)? Seems fair to say that's being "involved". Meanwhile, many of the articles declare full innocence. Reading through the court of appeals doc, that really does not sound like the case.

I understand - the death penalty is atrocious and shouldn't be allowed. But declaring this guy to be innocent, when his actions really state otherwise - that just damages credibility.

It does really teach one lesson: Never talk to police. Had he used his 5th amendment right, he'd probably be far better off. Though his actions alone probably would have gotten him a serious sentence.

you don't need to. You only need to if you have manually deleted /usr/local for some reason. /usr/local is exempt from system integrity protection.

The only problem is that its owner gets reset to root on every OS update, whereas Homebrew wants its owner to be the Homebrew user.

The advantage of /usr/local as the installation root is that /usr/local/bin is in the default PATH of the OS and that setting the PATH in a way that it takes effect no matter what starts an application is a bit... tricky in OSX as there are many ways to launch an application that doesn't go through a shell, so .profile and friends aren't enough.

Why does brew need to install everything owned by my user in /usr/local? I would honestly prefer if everything installed by brew was owned by root:wheel and brew would gracefully abort if I forgot to run it with sudo.

Is all that current mess just so that I don't need sudo for brew?
okay, that makes more sense. thanks for the explanation!
Then install brew with sudo.
Are you sure it gets reset to root? I've been on since the first public beta, quickly fixed the homebrew problem, and haven't had any permission issues since. Admittedly I can't say if normal updates will behave different from the beta ones.
