Apple's competitive advantage is certainly isn't in supply chain management , many big electronic OEM's are very capable at that.

Their advantage we're in the combination of innovation, design and marketing, and their unique market power/position which give them unique powers over collaborators and suppliers which they knew how to smartly use to build new ecosystems.

I don't think the two are comparable. Humans kill approximately half a million of eah other every year -- and about 2 billion other animals per week. We're unlikely to ever treat other animals as well as we treat each other, but a five orders of magnitude discrepancy is too much. We can do better than that.
The basic question of morality is not, "Are we two similar?", it's "Can we two coexist in a community, and to what extent?" People are going to, quite sensibly, reject attempts at "ethical" argumentation in which we are instructed to dismantle human life for the sake of nonhuman life. If it comes to two groups in zero-sum conflict, morality has already broken down and you've gone into the domain of war.

So there's not much point to saying we should treat animals humanely by driving humans extinct.
Bitcoin 2015 Highlights – A Month-By-Month Review by a Bitcoin Engineer
I keep imagining that we can/will keep carving out new digital spaces that can hold the old hacker spirit. I'm just not sure what it looks like.
I had an earlier post listing various resources, originally from a drug-related debate: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10729233 (That you use straw men like opposition to all forms of social organization implies to me you don't have a background on these issues at all, though.)

A consistent pessimism for mankind should involve rejection of authority beyond corporate villains.

As for rejecting various parts of consumer culture, how would I participate in web 2.0 while rejecting walled gardens?

Web 2.0 is a useless term, but since we can assume it refers to social media that is intrinsically walled gardens, you simply do not participate in it. However, that you can't isn't strictly true. Metcalfe's law would make it harder since you'd need to restrict yourself to smaller social sites. Yet you're deriving utility from sites like HN, clearly, so this "Web 2.0" distinction strikes me as elusive. There's plenty of mitigations to lower your exposure to walled gardens while still nominally using them, it's not necessarily a binary proposition of accept/reject. Though, who ever said that rejecting consumer culture would be easy? Going outside any grain involves forgoing opportunities.

Your paragraph about profits is a tautology. Of course unquantifiable (psychic) profits are different and unrelated. Value and profits are not the same thing, and it's a red herring to bring up things like childrearing (which babysitters and nannies do for profit, nevertheless). How does this defy the intrinsic existence of profits and their neutrality? And, certainly, someone may indeed find value and derive profits (psychic or monetary) from conserving fish stocks or any other environment. Not only that, markets can be environmentalist.

Difficult as it is, the debate around the obesity epidemic is certainly heading in that direction.

No shit, people make decisions ex ante that prove ex post to have been incorrect (by whatever measure). I am unsure of what you intend by invoking the obesity epidemic (I''m presuming specifically for the USA?)
Projects like this happen because it's easier to contribute here than to the existing manpages. As someone who came of age in a Github world, there's (perceived) friction preventing me from trying to contribute to a lot of tools from the old guard. Let's say I want to add some examples to the tar man page:

* How do I create a man page? (you answered this one)

* Where is the vcs repo for tar? (I think it's this one git.savannah.gnu.org/tar.git)

* I cloned the repo, but I don't see a contributing guide. Looks like I need to create an account and submit a patch online?

* Do I need to let the mailing list know about it? How do code reviews work?

None of these steps are dealbreakers, but together it all adds up to more unknowns I need to figure out before I can contribute. If existing projects make their contributing process smoother then I think we'll see more of this effort go directly to them.

Interesting. I'd note that Neanderthals (if that's whom you are hinting at) actually hunted one another for food when stressed. So no reason for their extinction to be blamed on Homo Sapiens. They were just less efficient at creating large social organizations, so eventually died out.
"The lack of opt-out is annoying"

No, the lack of opt-out is suspect, and in this context the claimed "need for telemetry" is plain intelligence-insulting! What really is sought in this sadistic game from their part is the option of having greater power/control over the devices installed with their product. Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt about that!
Why are you still daydreaming about it? You've obviously done a bunch of research, the next step is to just go do it.
Not sure what triggered the filters on your response @random but I appreciate you taking the time to write it out. I can see where your scepticism comes from and agree with you that its a stretch. We'll have to see if the gun manufacturers can pull it off or not.

A couple of comments on your comment, at the 2012 SHOT Show there were people showing biometric trigger locks and gun safes, last year the iP1[1] (RFID) was there. At that time both Sig and Glock indicated they would have something similar this year. We'll know in a bit more than 20 days :-).

If I understood the essence of your argument, it was that this is a hard problem that gun manufacturers are not investing in solving, and under investing will only yield ineffective solutions.

I can see the point, I'll wait to see what people are showing next month before I cede my prediction though :-)

Classic paper from 2008. Still informative.
I don't know what to make of Jet.com. I was interested in their initial model of trying to be an online, membership-funded retailer in the vein of Costco. Now that they've signalled a move away from memberships I don't know what their advantage is.

My anecdotal experience is that they have a smaller selection, worse fulfillment, and worse customer service than their obvious competitor, Amazon. Their site and product description pages leave a lot to be desired so even if they can undercut Amazon by a small amount, I'm going to order from Amazon instead because I have more confidence that I'll receive what I ordered, on-time, and have a better experience if I need to return anything.

Jet.com has a very large hill to climb here but I wish them well.

Why poor kids don’t stay in college
There's a lot at work in the optics of this stuff. When you say "whatever doesn't stand out is unworthy of attention", I think it's fairer to say "whatever doesn't stand out isn't seen", as in is below the threshold of detection. A crossing guard's blinking red light can be invisible in some times of day/year, and at night everything that isn't well lit is just some shade of shadow, which looks an awful lot like unoccupied air. For the avoidance systems, I think we're really going to net win on that, since they'll need to see things that aren't well illuminated, like fallen trees and ditches. (I really, really hope so at least.) Basically, the systems will have better eye sight than us.

In a lot of ways, I think this is a form of faking a HUD for people. We want humans to shine, like there's an OLED display overlay pointing at people or like a thermal imager behind walls. Reflective paint does that really well - at least it makes clothing-shaped blobs hovering in mid-air - but I think the intensity is merely that car lights are bright, so the retroreflection is far brighter than the little LED lights people tend to buy. You need something that a motor vehicle driver considers conspicuous, which is going to be something with the lumen output of a head light or brake light. In the video you linked, the bike's red tail light really isn't really bright enough, but the jacket absolutely is unmistakable. And blinking things really are great, since movement catches attention nicely (so long as bright-vs-dim has enough contrast). The bobbing retroreflecting foot pedals in the clip show they're an excellent tell-tale of a bike on the road.
>There is nothing wrong with putting off college for a year or two to save money

Positively agree. In fact, I think entering college directly after high school is absurd. We should encourage if not require everyone to take a year off to really decide what they want before entering college. Lots of people I know who ended up dropping out with debt and no degree reported to me that they were not ready for college and they only went because it was the "thing you're supposed to do."
I have some problems with compiling the latest sources from their GitHub pages. I'm using Win 10 x64 and don't know if this is a Win-only issue. I'll also try to build it under Linux Mint.

Using Google's android is not, but you could get amazon, or whatever. It's part of the ecosystem, if you buy into Amazon's you get their store, if you buy into Google's you get their's. If you want neither, you have to figure that out, or a new company needs to handle that situation.
Maybe something like the CPM Users' Club.
They need all that information for things like Cortana to do it's magic. For those of us that don't need or want Cortana (or Siri or OK Google) on the desktop, they shouldn't need my data. Telemetry after a crash or with regards to OS function usage seems OK to me, but I don't want my calendar, phone book, or email sent to the cloud for analysis.

I don't see how small medical offices can use Windows anymore (big ones will use Enterprise Windows and shut all that stuff off). If the calendar and email are being sent to the cloud, then that sounds like a potential HIPAA violation.

I don't understand why consumers can't easily disable all data sharing with Microsoft. I don't think Apple is as bad and now I'm thinking about buying my first Mac in a long time and running a VM for the few Windows applications I absolutely need.
I know a very successful digital nomad. He, his wife, and their 3 kids have lived in an airstream trailer for the past several years. He has a good job, which he works remotely, and they move to a new location every 1-2 weeks.

His kids have explored every state and national park, and every museum of note. I envy that life more than a little.

They have a blog at CurrentlyWandering.com
Apple has a history of telemetry collection without any checkboxes whatsoever. Consider http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/82765/osx-yosemi... and the existence of "com.apple.telemetry" as well as telemetry collection in their kernel and announcements on stage when they show how many people use certain features of OS X or iOS.

I don't mean to sound cynical, but if oft-used man pages haven't already added "EXAMPLES" sections over the last 30 years, how likely is it that they'd add them now? This project exists because man has failed to as useful as it needs to be for current users. I don't think that adding this info to the "EXAMPLES" sections will help anything, personally.
AMD has this for GPUs already (Fury X), and Nvidia's next GPU architecture should have this also.
That's kinda true. But in a way, we invited advertising from the beginning, when we started heralding the internet as a direct-to-consumer news delivery platform. Meanwhile the entire business model of news media revolves around advertising.

As it stands right now: yes, cannibalism is more-or-less universally considered abhorrent in a world where (a) all sources are more-or-less indisputably considered a pre-, current-, or post-person and (b) eating wild human flesh is a short trip to an entire fascinating category of otherwise-non-communicable diseases.

The cannibalism question may become a bit more complicated in a future that holds the potential of carefully-monitored and maintained cloned muscle tissue from a donor cell culture that is itself never hooked up to a brain. ;)
that's an interesting perspective, but I'm not sure it chimes too closely with what I've seen these days.

in the UK at least most banks have mobile apps which run on android, people do e-mail (which controls most of their sensitive information) and other items on mobile devices, so their security would be every bit as important as a windows/OSX PC...

Webpack doesn't have a monopoly on hot reloading, you can do this in browserify too: `npm install browserify-hmr`

With watchify:

watchify -p browserify-hmr -o bundle.js

With budo:

budo main.js -p browserify-hmr

If you're using react, you'll only need a tiny wrapper around the root element to opt in to hot reloading: https://github.com/substack/react-starter-hmr/blob/master/ma...

All of this should fit comfortably in a Makefile (or npm run script) and each piece you add is small and comprehensible.
In general I agree with the sentiment, but calling it a "cult" might be a little too extreme.
> For example, Hacker News nested comments are displayed as being on one level.

I think that this is because syntactically they are on the same level. Assuming I'm reading the source correctly, they're all cells in a table, at the same level, rather than being nested.

So elinks et al. are correct; the site is using CSS to indicate something not in the structure.
My point is that the number of companies, and hence the number of CEOs, is also in the millions, even if you restrict just to the US. So it's certainly numerically possible that it's written for CEOs and their staff (and people who want to be CEOs), which is a much larger number.

I should probably give Zotero another try. At the time I started using Mendeley, it was really the best at automatically importing metadata for pdfs. And I don't think Zotero does the watch folder thing.

One thing I do like about Mendeley is that it's content to leave my pdfs alone in the filesystem (and I can rely on Dropbox for syncing those), whereas Zotero seems to want to import everything and manage the files itself.

Sorry, but I'm classifying your first link as FUD. (And the second has no clear conclusion.)

It's are incredibly misleading, as it:

- doesn't take into account the severity of the bugs;
- doesn't take into account the time to fix the bugs, or if they are still open;
- bundles some OSs, while separating Windows on several different categories;
- compares OSs with incredibly different lifespans;
- compares OSs with incredibly different amount of included software.

It's an article created to make Windows look artificially good, nothing more than that.
Flagging is the way. If the story gets flagkilled and has a single comment pointing to a previous HN submission, the software displays [dupe] instead of [flagged]. [dupe] also shows up if a moderator marks the item as a dupe.

We're probably going to extend flagging to ask the user to pick from a list of reasons, one of which will be "duplicate", so this mechanism may change somewhat in the new year.

What's bad is that it was predicted, albeit more severely, in a movie about terrorism called The Siege. Starred Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis. Had attacks, the cell model of operation, the cops (Denzel) unable to do stuff, and the military (Bruce) called in to declare martial law. Some of the stuff Denzel said in the movie apply to America today. I highly recommend it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzLQOc-B0Ys

Note: Key difference is America became both a surveillance state and a dual state. Dual state is when two governments, public and secret, operate in parallel with one able to bend/break rules to hit certain targets. This model is less likely to cause a revolution given most people never see the other side of things.
It's hilarious, even if it isn't.
It's about whether you can manage your time properly - I thrive in a "digital nomad"-style work.

I programmed on the beach in Barcelona via their free Wi-Fi, overlooked Pu'uhonua o Honaunau while writing some advanced math/programming stuff, had a blast jumping off bungy, rafting and MTB downhill in New Zealand between the session of writing world-class code many people use now etc. It's all about whether you can focus. Learn to focus 100% on what you need to do, leave your brain rested by doing crazy inspiring things on a side and you'll manage digital nomad lifestyle and your output will be far higher than sitting in an office, especially open one. I noticed when I focus for 3-4 hours on some tough problem, then interrupt and do something completely unrelated or sleep, I get surprisingly many ideas quickly leading me to a solution. If I just sit in front of a monitor, it might take a week to solve the same. Weird, but works for me.
Exactly, you could just use debt financing instead of giving up equity.
Windows 10 runs on everything from USB thumbdrives to 84-inch Surface Hubs, including smartphones, tablets, 2-in-1s, laptops and desktops. If you remove all the corporate machines (with control via Global Policies) then the majority are probably mobile.

Some of Windows 10's features come from the convergence with the smartphone platform (Notifications, Cortana).

As well as being a mobile OS that runs lots of mobile apps, Windows 10 also has cloud integration (OneDrive, Windows Store etc).

This shouldn't be a shock. Nadella has been saying "mobile first, cloud first" since he got the CEO job.

> Most people don't have all their critical financial or business information on their phones

Why would you imagine Microsoft was incorporating such info in its anonymized telemetry? It's not like telemetry was exactly a new thing.

As a matter of fact, Windows Update has been scanning people's hard drives for years (with MRT, the Malware Removal Tool), and collecting crash data since XP.
So I don't think the data they send back is 'spyware' in the sense that they want to know more about you and then sell it or use it to sell other stuff to you.

Unfortunately, given that the other sting in Windows 10 is automatic, compulsory updates, even if your hypothesis is true today there is no guarantee it will remain true tomorrow.

I'm a little sad about the whole Windows 10 situation, really. From the more credible commentary I've read now that the dust has settled, it seems like a reasonable OS under the hood. It also seems like with enough effort you could mitigate or work around the worst of what is there, maybe even in some of the non-Enterprise versions.

However, those privacy and control issues are complete deal-breakers for me. Recent behaviour by Microsoft has abused the Windows update mechanism for earlier versions that I do use, and it has also included a disturbing number of outright broken updates. Unlike a surprising number of professional reviewers, I am therefore not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt any longer. If I can't turn things off reliably on my own computer if I don't want them to happen, and I can't trust that questionable things will be opt-in instead of opt-out, then unfortunately none of the rest matters very much for either my own personal or my businesses' professional purchasing decisions.
