Sure, that's why I didn't suggest that sitting in a dark room would be enough to dispel the theory. ("If this were true, then one could see during the night just as well as during the day, so Empedocles postulated an interaction between rays from the eyes and rays from a source such as the sun.")

I guess they could have argued that the rays of light returning from each object were perfect specular reflections that traveled directly back to the eyes that emitted them... but wow, that's still pretty hard to fathom, even for people who never heard of Occam's Razor.

The evolution of iPads over multiple generations is not 'planned obsolescence' (PO), and this article is wrong to characterise this progress as PO.[1] PO denotes 'artificially limited useful life', whereas products like iPads and iPhones are replaced because of actual obsolescence or wear on consumable components. Most capacitors have a limited life in terms of time and charge/discharge cycles, and will degrade in performance over time; batteries are the same. Since no one wants their iPads to be overbuilt, (i.e. heavier and more expensive), they wear out over the course of just a few years. In addition to that, everyone will want higher resolution and more powerful tablets than are currently available; these consumers would rather buy a modern tablet now and another later than wait for the second to come out.

Maybe, just maybe, that polarization is caused by a false narrative of gender and racial exploitation that does not align with reality. It is in-part perpetuated by organizations similar to this that dress themselves up with legitimacy ("UN Experts"), but are really only interested in a political agenda.

> I think the answer we want now is a non-mathematical one.

I'm just an interested lay person, but my understanding is the past century of physics is a giant argument for trusting the math, and accepting it as explanation.

If someone asks "Why does xyz act this way?" then the best answer for it, once you get to non-intuitive quantum scales is: "because the math says so." Dirac's prediction of the existence of antimatter, the Higgs, and pretty much all quantum mechanical behavior are great examples of this.

Nima Arkani-Hamed, a kickass theoretical physicist, has a great lecture series on the philosophy of physics:

• http://www.cornell.edu/video/nima-arkani-hamed-philosophy-of...

• http://www.cornell.edu/video/nima-arkani-hamed-philosophy-of...

In an aside, he mentions that he used to explain the Higgs field with analogies such like calling it a kind of "molasses" slowing down particles and giving them mass. He's stopped doing that, because the physical analogy is really misleading. The true reason the Higgs as we conceive of it exists is that it addresses mathematical issues in our treatment of bosons that have mass.

The math said there was an issue. 50 years ago the math said the Higgs fixed it. It took 50 years and construction of the LHC, but now we've verified the existence of the Higgs.

Facebook and YouTube, as highly interactive applications, are not "most websites".

Practically ever single blog, news site, store, business page, and the like have zero need for Javascript, and requiring it only makes your site look broken. The maybe better with Javascript, of course.

While I haven't worked on websites in the last year or so, I have made websites professionally in the past for many years. Making a progressively enhanced store that works without Javascript in Rails 2/3 was really easy.

> vast majority of your users will never even consider turning it off.

How do you know this? Are you guessing? Are you relying on Javascript-based analytics and are therefore blind to people that disable Javascript? Do you have server logs that show how many people disable Javascript? Is you site broken without Javascript so this claim becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy?

I ask this every time someone makes that claim, and have never gotten a response.

Have you looked at Terraform? I have everything defined (unless it doesn't work very well... which still happens as it's still under heavy development), and if it needs to be dealt with care (e.g.: core EC2 instances) I'm slowly filtering it into a separate set of units/variables, and setting the "static" infrastructure (VPC) as a downstream group, and slurping the statefile upstream as to not potentially damage anything when playing nice with deploying/redeploying EC2 instances.

The critical property of all similar systems is the way how you use it. Modern research systems, both based on depth sensors or cameras can in fact provide very good results if operated by a skilled person in a controlled laboratory environment (no shaky movement, proper light, no reflections, shadows etc.). This is a very different setting to using the system by a wide audience in the variety of all possible situations which might occur every day.
One of our goals is to bridge this gap and make a system which works well for as many situations as possible and can be enjoyed by as many people as possible. Still a very hard task to do. This will happen gradually, one release at a time. Therefore, we will very appreciate your feedback on using the app - both when it works and when it does not. This will help us to improve the app.
You can now get phones that don't break. Nokia was once the leader in that area. There are now good rugged smartphones.[1] I have a smartphone from Cat (yes, Caterpillar Tractor has a phone brand), and can drop it on cement repeatedly with zero damage, or wash it off with a hose.[2]

Apple has been struggling in this area. Their sapphire screen debacle set them back on the ruggedness front.[3] They've made some progress on water resistance, but they're not at IP67 yet.

Other half of original reply because it's still relevant:

Nonetheless, I'm suspicious of a report that cites flawed statistics, such as a gender wage gap of 79 cents on the dollar, as evidence of discrimination and denial of rights. See my comment and sources here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10785515 . Equal rights does not mean equal outcomes because, even in the case of equal ability and opportunity, people have different preferences. This report is nonetheless equating those.

From their FAQ [0]:

Q: Is this sample size really big enough to calculate rankings?

A: A sample size of 2,000 to 3,000 is large enough to give a fairly good estimate at the national level. It is not large
enough to give precision for sub-populations, which is why in Chapter 3 we use data from all available surveys, from 2005 through 2014, to provide samples of sufficient size for our splits by age and gender.

As for manipulating the data yourself:

Q: Can I download any of the data used in the Report?

A: The online data appendices show how the data are constructed, and include the main national and regional averages underlying the figures and tables in Chapter 2 and 3. Those wishing access to more detailed data from the Gallup World Poll should contact Gallup directly:

If I could live free and just roam the wilderness and live in the forest, I would totally consider that a successful and happy life. Everybody has a different idea of what success is. To some it's having lots of money, to others it may be being a good parent, and to others it may mean improving other people's lives.
Some people would call it a 'watch battery' too.
1152x900 8bit = 1,036,800 bytes on screen

1920x1080 24bit = 6,220,800 bytes on screen

So for starters, a lot of people are trying to push around more, larger, pixels.

Some years ago I did some experiments with the OLPC-XO essentially analysing this exact problem. Modern software on a platform weaker then current Entry-Level.

Analysing the overhead in printing a terminal text to a screen, I found a process that output a great deal of text but >dev/null took 1.5 seconds and tried a couple of different terminals.

7 seconds using bitmapped fonts
30 seconds using xft
6 minutes 34 seconds using vte (Pango/Cairo)

That's a lot of overhead. You get unicode, scalable fonts and extras but it all comes with a cost. Most of that cost isn't intrinsic to the additional capabilities, but just an accumulation of minor inefficiencies because the result was ok on the machines we were using at the time.
A cracked screen is not "planned obsolescence", it's bad procurement. If she wanted a device which wouldn't have that problem, she could easily get a less-dainty one. She could also protect it better.

I recently let a smartphone go all the way to EOL (~5 years, not bad in my opinion). I don't see what these snoots are bragging about.
If they don't want to use a device which is state-of-the-art, and don't want to pay for one which is durable, they'll get one which is old and broken.

They do have options though.

my problem with all these boilerplate is their reliance on tangential technologies. (Babel/Webpack/MaterialUi/etc).

>Point #1 is bogus: if you're already doing a venous draw then why do another separate test as well? That's just good sense.

Note what followed in point 2 (and what I should have added on 1 but for being too repetitive): when you do ask for just that test, suddenly it's not available!

>Unfortunately the piece does not include a detail that it would have been really useful to know, which is what happens if you walk in and order the one test that can be conducted with a finger prick - would they use their test or not? The difficulty ordering the test that occurred when she asked could have been affected by the fact that she had told him she was a reporter,

I think it's just as important to reveal that bit: that whether they use the top-secret tech might depend on whether you're a skeptic or otherwise not a sympathetic party.

>Plus the reporter almost certainly got Theranos' hackles up by communicating with them and receiving an invitation to have a test done, and then going behind their back to do it anonymously at another center. I won't say that it's unethical for him to have done that, but it's definitely an aggressive action or will seem so to Theranos.

In my book, "a company that is upset that you tested a sample offered to the general public rather than one they cherry-picked for you" is a shady company.
> The place we live, planet earth?

I see each of us, and in turn our communities, living in parts of planet Earth, and to my underlying point, having, similar to our dictionary meanings[0,1], varied and overlapping views. Some of these terms' meanings have a narrow view and another a wide one, for instance: 1) "A particular group of living things", then "All that relates to a particular sphere of activity", and 2) "Human and social interaction", then "A particular region or group of countries", and 3) "The Earth", then "The Universe", and 4) "Human collective existence", then "Existence in general.". Take for example a derived term, 'worldview'. Would this necessarily have something to do with Earth? Would it better fit "An individual or group perspective or social setting" and "Age, era"?

Etymologically, `world` comes from Proto-Germanic weraz +‎ aldiz (man, husband + age, generation, lifetime), and before that Proto-Indo-European wiHrós + h₂el. These terms meant to our linguistic ancestors, "hunt, warrior, hero" + “to raise, feed, nourish”. We would still have `Earth`, `Universe`, `place`, etc to use if we focused `world` on a concept more to do with something emerging from experience, as it seems to in logic (a subset of logic that, imho, has well-founded roots). I believe logically it benefits a mind to make this conceptual leap so as to capably see multiple points of view and to recognize limits and strengths in any particular one or group within a whole.

Paradoxically, the many are the one, so to speak, or whole is its parts (ping Da Vinci). Some minds break on this point, some bend around it. Every report I have ever seen comes from some point of view.

Pick your headay up. There's lots of great advice here. And if worse comes to worst, if you're in America you can always join the airforce. The threat of danger is less than compared to other branches, you get to see different parts of the world as you change bases, get additional schooling/food/board for free, and you'll be getting paid all the while and get to put almost all of it towards savings since you'll have minimal expenses. Not saying this is the best option or a great option, but it is an option. I have never served, but I have a few friends that say it's the best experience.
Man, obviously they didn't do that. The reporter talked to the remote manager of the site, and also openly told the manager that he was a reporter (or at least openly told the on-site employee who told the manager). Honestly, I fully expect press interactions to escalate pretty quickly, especially in a company in 'oh shit' PR mode.
No need to apologize for giving your opinion. I have strong feelings on accessibility and security, perhaps a bit too strong. Others may rank design or "a fast development pipeline" higher than me.

I expect content websites to function without requiring JavaScript. I'll settle for a much poorer experience, as long as I can access the content.

Put more strongly: Nothing is gained (from a user perspective) by requiring JavaScript, but security is lost (Tor disabled NoScript because too much of the web would break, leading to disclosure of user data [1])

Email is still p2p, but it is true that it gets harder to run your own server all the time.

Reddit is mostly publicly accessible, and run like some kind of low-profit community-directed social benefit corporation. But... It is increasingly infiltrated by marketing in subtle and frustrating ways. Maybe this is why it exists.

Facebook, however, is just a nightmare. It gives us one thing we lacked before, which is a centralized identity service, and using that as leverage twists everyone's arm into joining and directing all communication through it. I can use any email server and talk with my friend on gmail. I can browse reddit anonymously. But facebook won't be satisfied until it owns my digital soul.

We need tools. They will have companies behind them. So, we can't throw everything away. But, can we draw the line at the walled garden of Facebook? It is a bridge too far. It is the end of the internet. Please, don't give in. Write your friends. Call your mother. Email your baby photos. Post your videos where you get credit (even revenue!) for them. Remember that ten thousand years of humans went to parties, got laid, and had your ancestors without an event page that required a signup and login.
I think those are totally valid objections -- the microeconomic research remains equivocal on gender pay gap differences and, while I firmly believe that American politics and policies regarding women's rights are marching boldly backwards, I also think this is more than a bit of grandstanding (I admire many UN professionals, but there are plenty of excitable activists amongst their peers, though both professionals and rabble-rousers are outweighed by the clock punchers. Bureaucracy, don't you ever change).

Also, the UN org chart looks like a bowl of spaghetti, so remembering who is what and when is an absolute pain.
I used to do the same thing in my youth. The dominos have a rather low reliability and I'd always run out before I could set up a useful circuit.

Fixing completely dysfunctional F500 IT organizations is something that many, many people have tried across completely different company cultures with maybe a handful of successes I've heard of. Leading huge organizations (especially ones damaged by previously failed leadership efforts - think how attempts to refactor a legacy codebase go and multiply by an order magnitude in number of variables) is very hard and because large organizations tend to have so much capital working for them, IT management failures create a large opportunity (in theory) for optimization by others. In practice, consulting for organizations that don't want to fundamentally change how they do X (or think $ must solve everything and leadership becomes so fragmented into non-communicating middle managers) while wanting large changes to X are the equivalent of an obese person wanting to lose weight without changing their diet or exercising. Yet we know there's a huge "fitness" industry with large profits being made off of those that do not use their products and subscriptions effectively.

At that rate, you are limited by context changes from userland to the OS. So you must use an event driven approach like nginx or node.js. In contrast to the Apache way of opening a thread per connection.

Flagging. Nothing to do with AirBnb (are they expected to provide guards?), no mention of police report (they got the pictures and documentation first, right?), no real proof, a fresh account. Not even mention of what exactly is expected from the AirBnb in this case.

This may be true (and I'm really sorry if it is), but this post just doesn't look relevant here.
Go has an interesting take on whitespace-around-operators -- it starts removing whitespace around binary operators if there are higher precedence operators in the same expression. So, for example, you get:

x = 2 * y
x = 2*y + 5

This is pretty readable. In fact I think it is more readable than the usual convention of "spaces around every binary operator," but it would be untenable without the existence of gofmt. The most common argument against a convention like this is, "subtle bugs will be introduced if the actual precedence is different than the one implied by whitespace," which is why it's great to have a benevolent formatting overlord telling you when or not your formatting is consistent.
Elizabeth Eisenstein's The Printing Press as An Agent of Change (1979) is the classic work on this. It's the kind of book that book historians of the present often poke holes in, but the fact that people still argue with it is a testament to how good it is. It tackles the technological and social elements of printing in a way that it seems to me would appeal, based on your question. Michael McKeon's The Origins of the English Novel, 1600-1740 is also very interesting, in many ways much wider in scope than what the title suggests because it's really about the advent of mass literacy and cheap print.
The problem is exacerbated on the 256MB models. IMHO those models have too little memory and are somewhat crippled right out of the box. Only the 512MB models are even somewhat reasonable.
