Two reasons why this works. Some of us have packed garages that we use as storage. A car that parks itself gives us more room. Secondly it's on private property and it allows people to get comfortable with self driving cars without the hassle of legal issues we'd have on the road. They're playing a long game.
Hey, so I had a question about http://docs.superpowers-html5.com/en/getting-started/scripte...

How do you find this impact performance, especially when a behaviour might need to communicate with other behaviours, also how would that be done?

I've looked at several solutions, e.g Apple has a "BehaviourSystem" (called ComponentSystem) where you can fetch Behaviours (Components) per class from all other actors.
They're asking him to help verify the fix since he's in the best position to do so, having caught the bug. I think this is better than them saying "thanks, we'll take it from here, bye"
But not for notes with the newer iOS 9 features like attachments.
Thanks @mkliu!
On the security front, they need to clarify one large point: who has the keys to that encrypted data on the server?

It's great that they protect the data in transit and store it encrypted on their servers, but if the data is being encrypted by the server, and can be decrypted by the server, it's not really protected. Unfortunately, doing encryption at the server would allow them to make use of single instance storage and compression, which greatly reduces their data footprint and I'm guessing if the data was protected by the a client-owned key, they would have made mention of that along with their other security specifications since it is a big plus and would easily be a feature worth calling out.

I think this shows when you should be particularly worried about vendor (supplier?) lock-in: if it would hurt you more than it would others, including the vendor.

My shareware Snood clone company is not very worried about Microsoft changing the Windows API, but I'm sure with every release major Windows software suppliers, particularly those reliant on a certain niche feature, certainly are.
It's not practical to formally verify everything. We'd get nothing done if that was the case.

Rust's memory safety promises can be reasoned about clearly without formal verification (which is an arduous process requiring a team of researchers -- basically what RustBelt is doing). This is enough to be convinced that Rust is protecting you from memory corruption. Formal correctness proofs are valuable, but not necessary to ship software.

Also, as others have mentioned, Rust is a strict plus over C++ in formal verification as well since once you've verified a module containing unsafe code, you can forget that it contains unsafe code and use it wherever, and modules with safe code can be used without verification. Once verified, Vec<T> is safe to use however you want as long as it's not used in an unsafe block (if it is, just verify that block or module depending on the context).
I think this is really cool, and really appreciate what you guys are doing. I have a particular passion for game creation tools as that is how I started down the path of becoming a developer over 20 years ago.

To show my appreciation, I've set up a $5/month pledge on Patreon. It's not much but I hope it helps! Should Crapule meow my name, please send me the recording. ;)
Not just the wrong answer that stops the questions, but the wrong answer that consumes people's lives. If Christianity is wrong, then a lot of people have had their time and money consumed by it. All those Sunday mornings given away, all that money donated. Following a religion with anything other than lip service consumes resources.
Exactly. The "channels" don't emit pure light of a single frequency. There is a curve.

Check if your installation is vulnerable. My company uses TM Officescan for desktops and this doesn't work (I think this Password Manager is not even installed by I just tried the localhost url POC and it doesnt' work).
I have been wanting to switch to OneNote over EverNote recently but have had really weird problems on OS X.

Every single time I open the app it requires me to sign in again. Spent several hours Googling and trying different "Fixes" but can't narrow down why it wont stay signed in.

Hoping this is some edge case bug and they will release an update so I can use it. From what I hear it's actually a really great app.

Improved stability would be appreciated. Almost every time I try to sync my collection of 5k+ notes, the mac app crashes (even the icloud.com version!). The iOS version isn't too much better, as it frequently hangs when I edit notes.

Previously this has not been a problem.
"Where does value stem from? What is good? What is bad?"

Religion doesn't provide these answers, either. It merely moves the questions one level up the chain.
Security and fingerprints does not go hand in hand.

It is a cool and convenient feature, it stops the causal girlfriend/boyfriend that tries to spy on their partner but not much more.
Yeah, like condoms...
The Big Two of Roman-era philosophy—Stoicism and Epicureanism—tackled these issues without relying on god(s). Now, one may find their arguments unconvincing or their premises unjustified, but if the alternative is religion then they're likely at least as strongly supported and well reasoned as what you'll find there.

And it's not like no other systems/schools have attempted similar feats in the last 2000 years. Just pointing out that this isn't a new problem.

The DOJ statute of limitations preventing AV from being an OS component has run out, so now, properly, AV is again a background OS component and the third parties are more and more proven to be snake oil salesmen.
Because in general the people they raid don't have the resources to spend $25k on a lawsuit to get the media attention. It's mostly risk-free, and they can find something illegal in most houses.
I saw the linguistics connection as being that distinguishing one genus/species from another is a very similar problem to distinguishing one language/dialect from another. In both cases the population of organisms or of language users doesn't break apart into disjoint subsets naturally---nobody has a label within them saying "homo sapiens" or "Farsi speaker". These distinctions are artificially imposed and ultimately arbitrary.
Why Your Children's Television Program Sucks: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
I think invertible functions and groups are sadly missing from the current functional programming paradigm. Two ideas that I would love to see fleshed out:

1. If compiler would know which function is invertible, it could automatically build inverses of composed functions. And for instance, you could pattern match on a function argument, and it would automatically do the inversion for you!

2. Knowing that some operator is a group operator could lead to efficient optimizations. Consider a collection over which you calculate a folded value, where the folding is a group operator. Then knowing that, you could use group element inverse to recalculate the value when the collection changes, instead of recalculating it over the whole collection. Example: You need to keep a sum of list of numbers. Since addition is group operator, removing elements could cause the sum to be recalculated via subtraction of the single element.
The tyranny of billing
I've seen several two year olds use a mouse and keyboard (well, the arrow keys anyway) just fine. They're not cats. I do think it's a bit easier for them to use a touch screen but it's by no means rocket science to use a mouse and keyboard.

> Any students caught walking were subject to suspension and the school threatened to report parents to law enforcement.

That's an insane violation of rights; was this policy never challenged?
The Greece/Germany discounting of causation should work both ways, no?
This case centered around a field test, using a test kit which was highly prone to false positives and conducted by someone who wasn't trained how to use it. This was used to get a search warrant, which was executed by a SWAT team. A judge ruled that the police were not liable for relying on the faulty test.

However, I think it's important to consider this in context. There have been multiple recent scandals in which US law enforcement was found to rely on supposedly-scientific evidence which was, in fact, nothing more or less than fraud upon the courts. (For example https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/fbi-overstated-fo... and http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-crimelab-massachusetts...). These scandals would have been easily prevented by the ordinary scientific practice of using control samples, so the fact that they weren't prevented indicates systematic bad practices.

And there are widely-known deceptive practices still in use. For example, police bring "drug-sniffing" dogs with them, which bark whenever an officer cues them to, and courts accept this as though it were probable cause for a search.
The JS is inconsequential, really. Just making the correct HTTP request, even by typing it in your browser, is the exploit.
Google Exec Says Delivery by Drone Possible Within a Few Years
Besides bad PR, there are no repercussions, especially with this ruling that the police aren't liable. They can raid lots of homes and catch more drug makers, and they don't have to pay for any inconvenient injuries or deaths.
It's completely legal for the police to make note of who enters a public storefront. It's also legal for the police to dig through your trash. Once it's placed on the curb to be picked up it's not your trash anymore, it's the city or county's trash, and they can do with it as they like.

Evidence of illegal contraband in trash is almost by definition probable cause for a search warrant, and judges tend to be okay with handing out a few false positive warrants. Assuming that the police are professional and the citizens are cooperative, the damage is usually relatively minor.

This seems to be less a case of rules failing and more a case of common sense breaking down. Wasting an officer's time someone's trash because you once saw them leave a gardening store isn't illegal, it's just a dumb waste of resources. And serving the resulting search warrant with a SWAT team is the kind of risk-averse cover-your-ass common sense violation that legal remedies tend to make worse instead of better.
That's assuming that someone would be looking at a list like that and not doing what Microsoft or other companies do where they make up their own term for features/products
We actually started with CoffeeScript 15 months ago, because TypeScript wasn't quite far along yet (I don't quite remember why, but we definitely considered it and said "maybe later"). We also started by writing our own scripting language for games... and then after a few months of development we converted the whole codebase to TypeScript and we haven't looked back ^_^

Seems like Phaser's developer initially considered TypeScript but felt it was too early at the time too: http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/13599-reconsidering-build.... It looks like he's decided to go with Babel for Phaser 3 / Lazer: https://github.com/photonstorm/lazer
I can only speak for myself. Seriously, are people actually defending Amazon's add-on items? I'd love to hear more about the business rationale, no snark intended.
I'm a good developer and don't write any open source code and I don't have anything on GitHub.
The diagram comes from https://wiki.haskell.org/Typeclassopedia which also explains most of these things.
Exactly!
Even if there was actually marijuana, how can you justify a no-knock raid for a victimless crime like smoking weed? I bet those police guys would shit themselves and call it a day if they were to raid an actual criminal organization, with automatic weapons and grenades
The purpose of philosophy is to ask questions not provide answers. And so as long as there are phenomena to observe there are questions to ask and thus philosophy apply.

I think a lot of the confusion about the need for philosophy stems from academia thinking about philosophy the way it does. Here you usually will critique some existing philosophers to provide a more concise thesis. However life does not happen in academia and so a lot gets lost when it's confined to the university world

There is a world of difference between studying philosophy and then philosophizing. Just because you know the ins and outs of Kant, Nietzsche doe not mean you are a good philosophical thinker.

The best thing that can happen for philosophy is to remove it from academia and put it back into it's rightful context. To question, ponder, explore phenomena and provide perspective no matter the subject.
I think there's a difference between crimanal drug usage and illegal drug usage. I mean, if it's a warehouse with massive ammounts of drugs in-out, then yes, a raid makes sense. There are criminals doing illegal things in there. However, a drug raid with the same tools preformed on an apartment is insane, it's going to be a group of people doing illegal things.

I will confess an error in my thinking, in that it's really hard to legally define what I describe, if not impossible. But, as the bible says (paraphrased, and this is probably the first time I've ever quoted it..) "I would not destroy the city if there is a single innocent inside of it." If you can't make the law work, than maybe it shouldn't be there.
If not having an answer leads some fraction of the population to suicide or depression, then having an answer (wrong, right, or otherwise) which results in fewer suicides and a reduction in fear and loneliness is not strictly worse. I agree that stopping inquiry is very bad, but suicides are also very bad. This isn't mathematics, it's a social issue, so the optimum response is very nuanced and difficult to discern.
Except that smartphones existed before the iPhone, even App Stores did, but they were primarily business user focused.I mean, I had a Kyocera Palm Phone, which was one of the first PalmOS phones in 20011.
A lot of cutting-edge computer science and math is intimately connected with the more abstract reaches of philosophy (category theory, etc).
Just downloaded the beta. Looks like PDFs aren't supported to be password protected yet. Just text, images, etc
It is people who stop the questions, not the religions. All world religions with some centuries on them have extensive philosophical and theological writings, some of the younger ones do too. It's a myth some find convenient to propagate that religions require you to uncritically swallow their ideas and yell at you if you slightly disagree. There are some people who do that, there are even places where they group together and form sects, but, well, have you noticed how non-religious people join in such activities quite freely, too?
Holly crap I want 90% of those "Education Only" features in an enterprise environment. Managing AppleIDs, shared iPads and training scenarios are even worse when dealing with adults.

Oh and could they spare a thought for managing devices in remote locations? Oh you've forgotten your AppleID so now you can't update the MDM client and have been disconnected from Exchange? Too bad all we can do is waste 30 minutes on the phone talking you through it. Even basic things like allowing iOS updates over 4G (as well as forcing/postponing updates) would make such a big difference.

Too bad I'm sure it'll be 2018 before half of the features make it to businesses in the US, then 2019 for the rest of the world. :/
How does Kannel compare to Twilio and Plivo? GMS-only sounds like it would be a problem since that's not nearly everyone, right? I can't really tell from a skim of kannel.org how the message get inserted into the telecom system.

Edit: oh, wow, I see, it routes message through an actual phone.
They may have information through a confidential informant (that they don't want to give up) or a method that is not legal (and can't be used to get a warrant). So, instead, they use a field test that may often show a false positive, but is enough to get the warrant and get inside.
Another NoScript user here and the web is better because of this addon. It's amazing the quantity of websites that auto-play their videos, just by blocking those scripts alone NoScript has helped my blood pressure immensely.
Police go on fishing expeditions all the time. Just because they don't actually have proof of the thing they were looking for doesn't mean they can't find anything to hang you. I once had a traffic stop evolve into the officer telling me I could either let him search my car or he'd call in a dog to give him probable cause. There really wasn't anything for him to find, but he doesn't have any reason not to play the odds.
My favorite comment I saw on Twitter about this was just "Accio Tesla!", but I suspect the licensing fees would be a bit outrageous. :)
The reported survey results are disturbing and match those reported in other anecdotal surveys I have read and comments made to me by female colleagues and friends.

I do wish that the survey designers had not relied on self-selection in their sample so that the results could be a more reliable predictor of the prevalence of these behaviors in the general population.

The recent HN comments on the NY Times Article, When Teamwork Doesn't Work For Women, http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/10/upshot/when-teamwork-doesn..., shows that prejudice and bias similar to those reported here is alive and well in the HN Community.

Raising consciousness is a commendable goal, but it does not do anything to correct the problem.
Altman has called for a change in legal barriers that would allow such an instrument to exist (currently not possible by law).

You can issue RSUs to your early employees if you're in the seed stage and incur minimal tax implications (on the order of several hundred dollars) and help your early team members through the 83b process.
> RE: Background services. It's a pocket computer.

It's not (per Apple). It's an appliance, and they use that as guidance in the decisions they make. It may be capable of acting like a computer, technically it obviously IS a computer, but Apple treats it as an appliance.
> Your car has dropped you at work and returned home to avoid CBD parking fees. You then summon it to pick you up and drive you home.

I sure hope this doesn't become the norm. That is double the number of trips clogging the roads.
sorry missed 'So, in your opinion the driver issues TRIM, not the OS' from the previous reply. I never said that and that was not my point

my point was that an optional post delete cleanup feature was added to the protocol ready to be used, which is a perfect example on how to evolve long term features. then I said the post cleanup feature for the GPU should sit on the driver, since the GPU driver is the one knowing how to talk to the hardware, as there is not a shared protocol between boards (except vga modes etc but those contexts are memory mapped and os managed) and knows when a clear is performed, since all operations go trough it.
I never adopted gnome-screensaver (or any of the other parts of gnome that I could get away with; I tried using xsettings-daemon for a while but switched back to gnome-settings-daemon for some reason that I don't recall) for many reasons, but this was the nail in the coffin: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeScreensaver/FrequentlyA...
We should not use statistical inference because statistics do not always paint an accurate picture.

An extreme example is that many criminals enjoy ice cream; obviously, it's a fallacy to say that all ice cream eaters are therefore criminals. But what about correlations between crime and race, sexual preference, location? If my neighbor is a terrorist, am I his accomplice? Is everyone who lives in a bad neighborhood a crook, or are some of them trying to scrape by legally?

It seems like this argument appears on every single thread about surveillance. Data does not lie, therefore we cannot lose if we use data to solve crimes. The problem, friend, is that data does not lie--humans do. We lie to ourselves all the time, because the patterns fit and we are creatures that survive by pattern recognition. We see patterns even where they aren't patterns.
Sure. But you probably don't deconstruct what they say during the conversation (except for example or for entertainment).

This is the baby class z800, it's 3kw max which isn't too bad for a full cab.
To be fair, it also creates a great deal of value. Comfort, community, scholarship, good works. It could be argued that these things can be created outside of a religion and they'd be right but religions have created organizational frameworks for these kinds of value for thousands of years.
Self-driving Ubers need cleaning and ensuring safety. Without cabbies to take care of that, I think that's a major reason owning a car still has value - it's a private space.
It depends who you ask. Anglo-American philosophy departments tend to stay pretty far away from it, but it has a decent-sized popular audience--and literary studies, art criticism, and related disciplines often draw pretty heavily from it.
Using Travis CI to Test Docker Builds
People who know a lot and rarely have time to share knowledge will always get questions about things they haven't yet shared with others. Personally, I find it less effective to work in an environment where people don't share their knowledge since less knowledge means frequent questions...
just as those ignorant of secular philosophy who never deliberate any of these questions have quite likely settled on some ad-hoc worldview that works for them

Compare this to the paucity of experimental data to back up software development methodologies and computer language design. Most software development shops just settle on some ad-hoc worldview that works for them.

There are no out-of-the-box answers provided by anyone.

There are definitely out-of-the-box answers being hawked by someone, Whether these answers are backed up by actual theology doesn't change the fact.
Also check out Plivo. A bit more "open" and a lot cheaper.
Thank you, everybody, that has helped me understand. Obvious in hindsight but isn't that the way of these things.
"(invented the first programmable computer)" ? Citation?
The education preview [0] looks like the first step toward supporting multiple user profiles per iPad. iPhones typically are one-person devices (on Android you can switch users, I've never tried it though), but iPads are often shared. I've seen lots of families where there's one iPad shared between the whole family. The kids are constantly logging in and out of their Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/E-mail accounts. The fact that they have to log in and out often usually leads to them using very weak passwords. I hope this feature makes its way to general consumption.

I doubt it. All the newer features (those introduced in iOS 9 like formatting) only work for notes stored in iCloud. The IMAP stuff seems to be deprecated/in transition.
