> "Stranger kidnappings" (where someone the child doesn't know kidnaps them) are incredibly rare, a child is at much more risk from traffic, guns, cancer, or swimming pools.

Agreed, I am a parent as well. But a word of warning, you'll get mean looks and talk behind your back from playground parents if you take that attitude.

I've seen moms and dads on playground who are way out there in assessing what is threatening and what is not. They'd see a man walking by the playground going by their business and start calling their children closer to them acting all scared. Or make comments about "hmm what are they doing, we haven't seen this person before". Mind you we were not in a crime ridden neighborhood, this is a quiet suburban area. Was going to say "lay of the news people, take it easy" but of course couldn't they'd think I am crazy.

Oh and co-worker's neighbor called CPS (child protective services) on them because they were playing by themselves in the cul-de-sac while the parents watched from inside the house. They of course don't know who did it, and even if they knew there no repercussion they could take against that person. They can always claim "they thought of the children", nobody can argue with that...
What direction would you have someone swipe?

From the left is "go back to previous page", from the right is "go to next page" or "open side app on iPad", from the bottom is control center, and from the top is notification center.

There is no where left to swipe from.
Thanks! I don't believe I can edit the title after submitting though.
I was expecting they probably did given what's on the line. Re-reading it, I realize it probably didn't come off that way. Gotta work on that.

Thanks for the confirmation, though. I do look forward to reading the experience report. Hoping they include data on all key attributes vs prior language: productivity, debugging time comparison, CPU use, memory use, integration issues, and any changes in defect rates. Community evaluating Rust needs that data for something at this level.
There are 3rd party apps that can do this for you, e.g. for $3 Sync Solver for fitbit:

I don't know how they decommission a zSystem.

But from what the mainframe guys at work told me, hardware between 2 z boxes are pretty much the same and it's kind of licensed by load usage or components usage.

So if you want to downgrade or upgrade memory/CPUs/etc. (to a certain degree), it's just a matter of having an IBM tech to enter the right license in the console.
You know, at the bottom of your stack someone, somewhere, needs to know a subject well enough to implement things from scratch. If what you are doing hasn't been done before you can't just google or find an open source library. Even if it has been done before often these things are often barely written down.

Do you think when Google decided to create the V8 JavaScript JIT they hired a couple of Django programmers and asked them to google 'how to write a JIT'? Or do you think they specified a certain level of experience in writing JITs on the job advert?

Scotch Ain't Dead Yet, Part 1: Export Volume and Value
Any recommendations? :)
Well do consider that Google Maps/Earth don't zoom too much because of security and privacy reasons. If you consider everyday technology that is accessible like https://www.urthecast.com/ and how clear it is then it wouldn't be impossible to get clearer imagery from spy satellites. Maybe not actual text but a blurry view of that 6 inch touch screen.
The majority of driving, probably. The majority of avoiding death and injury while driving, especially in snow, is to NOT follow the car in front of you.

As far as error rates, it's feels significant to me. I've driven maybe 500k miles in my lifetime and would be very surprised if I haven't seen more than 50 cars ahead of me spin or slide off of highways.
The title is misleading. I followed the link hoping for an article about an editor willing to enforce open data, better statistics, etc. Instead, the editor is trying to shake things up in medicine and politics/policy. Based on the article, I would infer the editor is just another moralizing, do-gooder crusader trying to leverage "science".
Not really all light, but certainly at least the green and blue primaries of our computer/phone displays.

In the experiment you linked, they used looking through orange-tinted safety glasses as a control, because such glasses basically filter out all of the relevant wavelengths.

Not sure I’d recommend regularly using your laptop with orange safety glasses though.

I got existed for: "Dark Comedies 869". Man its difficult to find these kinds of movies. Unfortunately there was not 869 of them but just 6. I have seen them all. One of them was amazing; "Sightseers" if anyone wants a movie tip.
Done [with caveats].

You can compile and sideload any software yourself using XCode and an AppleID. I run Gamma Thingy (a f.lux alternative) on my non-jailbroken iPhone. You can compile and run emulators, use any private API, whatever. Those apps will just never be in the App Store.
"If you don’t want to work, and don’t really care about your work, less hours for the same pay sounds great! If you personally care about what you are doing, you don’t stop at 40 hours a week because you think it is optimal for the work, but rather because you are balancing it against something else that you find equally important."

This is spot on. I think motivation is a huge factor here. Motivated workers are more capable of remaining productive over longer periods. Switching projects/tasks when you run out of gas is usually reinvigorating. Also, some people seem to have more innate motivation like an extended "honeymoon" phase when new people start a job and they are more tenacious and eager to prove themselves.

A cool project is an external motivating factor, or an existential threat ranging from potentially losing your job to being wiped out by an asteroid. As terrible as it is, fear is a great motivator. I've worked on projects so mind numbingly boring and pointless that I've had to change tasks after a couple hours because I found myself staring at my editor hating what I was doing. I've also worked on projects where I could stay motivated and productive 16 hours a day for two weeks at a time trying to meet an important deadline.

Bottom line in my opinion is there's no such thing as a broad rule of thumb for how long someone can stay productive.
NoScript with the occasional whitelist has been a perfect solution for me. I don't feel like I'm missing any part of the web, in fact, most of it is better without JS. At this point, sometimes I go weeks without having to add anything to the list. I don't think it would be a good solution for my mom but she only uses an iPad now so it doesn't matter.
I'd go with fans over experts any time.
This is really cool, and is obviously intended to be just the beginning of something that could be really amazing.

I suppose this is mostly just Tesla wanting to "beta" test the technology & collect some data to work with for future optimization...

I just don't see the practicality in this specific functionality that they're rolling out -- sure, it's neat, and I'm sure many of us would love to show it off to our friends for the wow factor.

But right now, you pull in the driveway, and tell your Tesla to park in the garage. It opens the garage & parks. Now what? You've got to follow the car into the garage & plug it in to your wall-attached charging cord.

Same thing when you leave the next day -- you've got to unplug the cord before you summon it to the driveway ~20 feet away...

Neat for sure, though. ;-)
Ah no problem, it's alright as it is. I'm sure dang will update it accordingly if he passes through and feels the need to do so.

No I do not feel bad for them at all. More often we see that Antivirus products are total scams. The people behind it are basically criminal. They install rogue certificates, are full of exploitable vectors, share our data with third parties, inject ads in our browser traffic and are just horrible and slow our computers down. From a security perspective, installing an AV actually sounds like a really bad idea these days. They're basically really horrible viruses in disguise. The most horrible kind of virus. These people need to be shamed and I wish these companies nothing but the worst.
I don't think the mix of stories has changed much. Drawing conclusions about HN based on limited sample sizes is usually fallacious, because there's a lot of fluctuation. A thread about Bowie dying is an outlier; when Michael Jackson died the reaction was similar.

Comparing the stories about Bowie, Naur, and Amdahl isn't valid. Their fame is of different orders of magnitude, even among a sophisticated technical audience.
Or simply a car club where you simply summon a Tesla (or any other brand) vehicle for transportation. I really don't even want to own a car. I would rather just call a car that will look like any of the other cars in the uniform fleet that will always be clean and smelling nice that I then get into and it takes me to my destination and then goes off to pick up someone else.

I think Uber and Lyft and the established industry will start gearing up for a war for your transportation needs. If the Auto industry is smart and has learned something (which I really still need to be convinced of), they will start/are working on such a shared use fleet model because one way or another, in the future no one is going to own their own car. it's simply far too inefficient if the vehicle can drive itself. Why would you want a vehicle that sits idle 90% of the day?

The reddest possible setting for f.lux (almost?) entirely wipes out the blue channel, but the green primary on LCDs is also going to cause some effect.

If you want you can turn f.lux into "darkroom" modes, which inverts the display and uses only the red channel.
>How am I to trust a password manager if something as obvious as this is allowed to be shipped to the end user?

You don't. Assume every online service you use subject to security holes. What defines a secure app from an unsecure one is revealed after a security incident. That's why I continue to use LastPass simply because they exemplified their security practices during their recent scare.
I was saying what should be, not what is.

To be fair, when my kids are out playing I keep an eye on them, but mostly because they are 2 and still don't always remember to look for cars before running out in the street (but getting better).

Hundreds of more recent examples. You've made the criteria rather narrow, but Germany and Cambodia are two scary examples of how the power dynamic in a country can change in a flash.

There is a real chance of Donald Trump or similar taking power in the white house. "Mature" or not, every democracy is a despot away from crumbling.
I wish there was some way of knowing that the title of the link was before someone decided to change it. Too many times on HN I come across an article and the comments are all talking about something the headline said before it was changed, and I have no idea what the context of the conversation was about.
From a dev perspective, why not just have one device only? Then we wouldn't have to worry about different screen sizes or input devices.
Right. It's basic math. Even if 0.1% of men are going to molest a random kid and it's 0.01% for women, there is a 99.9% chance a random man is not a child molester. It's noise.

Similar reasoning applies to why you should ignore all the "X doubles the risk of [some rare Y]" stuff you read in the media.
I'm saying it is possible that successes are hidden for real reasons and that we are biased by only seeing the flaws and failures. There may be a morally correct reason for all this nonsense. I'm not saying I agree with what I wrote, but that there is that possibility.

The issue with this idea is that it is a tautology. You can neither prove it nor deny it from the outside where the public sits. You simply do not have the access to the data and cannot reveal it. Those that have pay a heavy price.

What then? You have to take Occam's razor, that the simplest explanation is the correct one. Combine this with Hanlon's razor to not attribute to conspiracy what you can reasonably contribute to stupidity, and you may have an answer that passes the sniff test.
My opinion on this is still very much in development, so I don't suggest that this is the only right answer.

But here's a potential solution: since API clients are essentially renting the vendor's platform and launching businesses based on this, there needs to be some legally-enforced stability. I would like to see something like a landlord-tenant relationship. Both parties have responsibilities and expectations and the lease can't break the fundamental rules in the law, which usually includes mandatory notice periods to terminate tenancy if a tenant is month-to-month, a prescription for informing the landlord of maintenance issues and giving him time to repair, a legally protected remedy if the landlord fails to repair something that he's legally obligated to maintain (like withholding rent), and finally, an eviction process that the landlord can use to force the tenant out of the property when he's been found in violation of the lease.

I think this sort of relationship should exist at a minimum. It would make it so Google et al couldn't just kick you off whenever they got bored and decided your product was cool and they didn't have anything to do with their 20% time so they're gonna clone it, they could only cut you off at the conclusion of your contract. If there's a legitimate reason to kick someone off the API before this time, they can take it to an API tenancy court and get the judge to sign off on the access key's eviction (which should be thousands of times more practical for both parties than the current route, which is a CFAA lawsuit).

The ability to "buy land" on the platform and own an API key that can't be deprived from you would be interesting too, but I'm not sure on the details of how that would work right now.
There's a broad strand of discourse within philosophy on exactly the topic of its incorporation into the academy. Nietzsche, Foucault, Derrida, et al come immediately to mind.

Just another reminder that antivirus is dead. Any antivirus can be trivially circumvented. Based on the level of incompetence of multiple antivirus developers over the past few years, and my own experience with antivirus slowing down and heating up my machine, antiviruses themselves are more trojans than anything.
This is equally the case in most other US cities, most especially the expensive ones, but even including the likes of Chicago. It's kind of baffling: a four bedroom house with one kitchen and four roommates is perfectly fine per the zoning code, but that same house split into two apartments with two people living in each one would only be allowed in a relatively small fraction of the city (generally a smaller fraction than _actually has_ such buildings, btw). It's almost like the zoning bureaucrats think stoves are some kind of evil that needs to be strictly limited.

There's a "Intelligently secure" blurb at the bottom of the page, but it's incredibly unhelpful, since the most you'll get out of it is that it has TouchID and:

which could mean any number of things.
The problem I see with relying on the cloud in mobile settings is that downloading and uploading stuff really eats at your battery quickly. Additionally at least in the US, cellular data plans aren't particularly cheap.
Woah, this isn't at all what the poster said, or even implied. In any case, men would statistically make up a higher percentage of child molesters, etc.

Saying to have a slight bias toward children approaching women than men is a far cry from 'men are bad.'
The point of the quote that many miss though is that Cardinal Richelieu wasn't a clairvoyant, and by "six lines written" he didn't literally mean Twitter. It's true that, as you say, "the power always can abuse information it gets, as long as it wants to target someone". If it wants to get you, it will abuse any information available. If you protect your Facebook from them, they'll break your e-mail. If you encrypt your mail traffic, they'll tap your phone. Or pull out census and employment data. Or simply ask around.

I agree that you may be marginally safer if you're not "feeding the machine". But let's not delude ourselves - if the government turns evil, we're fucked either way, and no amount of Internet privacy will help much. There's too much data out there, and even more in the physical, material world.
This is a serious question: what's the point of programming in assembly if you don't want to control the registers? And what do you do if the assembler does a poor job of register allocation? If you hand optimize it, you're back in normal assembly; if you ignore it, you might as well not check in the first place.

Once you sacrifice the registers, assembly just becomes a non-portable programming language without any libraries. Unless you build it out with macros and capitalize on it being a programmable programming language, but then why not go with Forth or some kind of Lisp?

What does no-register assembly gain you that higher level languages don't already offer?
I've been wondering, when we get to the point that there is a mix of autonomous and human driven vehicles on the road, if we will see the human driven vehicles start to game the autonomous vehicles' collision avoidance systems? For example, the main reason not to cut off traffic is because the driver might not react quickly enough (ok, the other reason is no to be a jerk.) but with autonomous vehicles, human driver may be able to become significantly more aggressive, knowing that the autonomous vehicle will get out of the way.

(As a side note, I wonder how autonomous vehicles will handle lane splitting motorcycles? They get pretty close to the cars to either side.)
"Daemon" and its sequel "Freedom TM" were awesome, totally support the recommendation. Small nitpick, the software that took over the world (a form on narrow AI, think scripting on steroids) was developed by a genius game developer (in my head looking totally like John Carmack) not a security expert.
As someone who was inspired by game development to become a programmer I must thank you. When I was in my early teen years I remember getting a bunch of programmers and artists together to try and pump out a game called "Because of War." While it never took off, I still have those assets (models, environments, music scores) and have given them to people to use in their own projects. I remember compiling my game for the first time and my OpenGL shaders being wonky but resulting in a cool effect and I ended up leaving it. Game development is truly interesting, it's 90% creativity and 10% implementation whether you're on the artist side or programmer side (Think Crash bandicoot on Playstation).

Unfortunately I lost contact with many of those friends but it helped me become what I am today. Game development is a great way to get creative minds going and link the creativity of programming to those who haven't discovered it yet.
