All these comparisons to car warranties, and more specifically how in some countries there may be a question of legality. The U.S. has similar laws that car dealers can't deny warranty coverage because of third party repairs. IANAL, but it would be interesting to see how this translates to phones (or any other similar asset).

Ask HN: How did Twitter value Periscope at $100M before launching?
Pretty simple question. The acquisition for just under $100M [1] happened before Periscope had a public release, and only a few months after starting conversations with Twitter execs[2].

Seems like is has been a reasonable bet given the numbers [3] but seems like a lot for a pre-release product.

That is not a adequate comparison. You aren't done after you bought the software. You need someone to set it up as week and that cost scales with the quality of the software you bought. You need to look at the cost you have once everything is said and done.
If they can issue an auth code for apple hardware then presumably it's possible to issue one for non apple hardware. They just have to make some effort to confirm the owner of the phone has it rather than a thief.
"Short-sighted" is a visual disability.
given that the theoretical role of the legislature is to set the rules and goals, and the executive exists primarily to implement those decisions, I think you have that backwards.
Jumping to conclusions about one's status based on how many trinkets they were buried with is a dangerous exercise.

Plenty of victims of human sacrifice were buried with a plethora of artefacts. Conversely, many of the world's most powerful lie in very unremarkable graves.
Dogs are both faster and better armed than men.

However, the man has better reach in this case, and is (probably) trained better than the dog.

It's kind of a toss-up.
Or just after you enter your PIN (which can override the fingerprint reader anyways) notify you that the sensor has been replaced and reset it.
The measurement problem, if by quantitative you mean "relating to, measuring, or measured by the quantity of something".

There is no consistent mathematical standard of measurement by which money is created. Instead, the monetary value of some good or service used as capital for a loan is largely up to the arbitrary appraisal of the bank.
Mr. Davis,

The link posted mentions the OS being developed to provide a similar programming experience as the c64. Are there any learning resources available like there are for the c64? Thank you!
As someone who does a lot of basic PHP development and makes various sites with WordPress, I think the key point people seem to forget in this debate is that most projects are simple by nature, at least on a technical level.

I mean sure, making a WordPress site with themes and plugins is not as complicated as coding a web app in Node.js or whatever, but the majority of business sites don't really need much in the way of complexity. Just a few pages that the client can add content to and maybe a blog on the site that might send the content to social media sites upon being posted. In those cases, why not use WordPress or another simple CMS system?

On another note, this is also kind of the reason I haven't really gotten the chance to use much in the way of the latest or fanciest technology. Because every idea I get turns out to be one that doesn't need it.
I wish I knew, I would go there too.
Does the 911 feature still works on these phones? 911 should work even without a SIM card and without any other authentication, to purposefully disable a phone in this way may have bigger repercussions than just 'security'.
You're more than welcome to build that from source too! Where you get the source code could still be a private, authenticated area. You could choose to never publish your docker files. That's fine. I'm just saying that we should move to a better model where if you distribute software, you should also distribute the source code (and hopefully build tools) for it.

Why is this so difficult? It does not put any constraints on the user that vendors of proprietary software haven't artificially erected.
This is literally the dumbest thing I've read on vice.com. And I just read an article about a girl that drank a bottle of marijuana personal lubricant.
I feel like a hypocrite criticising this one. Security has always been a tradeoff against convenience. I've been, overall, happy that Apple's starting to take the security of personal data on a very losable device seriously.

I mean, not to gloss over it. I just got stung €320 for a screen repair, and I won't pretend I'm at all happy with that. But I have to accept we can't have it both ways - if we're demanding tough encryption, we have to accept the inconvenience that comes with it.
I would love to see your source code get audited by a third party. I have a lot of faith in your cryptographers, but your methods are harder to grasp than bitcoin and thus harder for me to audit myself-- I admit, I don't have the crypto skills.
I've got an otherwise unexceptional LG monitor that with one specific generation of MacBook causes all sorts of problems. My windows machines and newer macbooks don't have this problem, and connect to the monitor fine.

So it can be hardware issues. Often subtle ones.
It was definitely the idea with lisp machines (taken even further as they had hardware support for Lisp primitives and GC)

Their Journey to Super Bowl 50
Double plus good comment, comrade. Absolutely absurd that there could be propaganda or control, after all, if that were the case, we would have heard about it, right!

PS- Prove there is no evidence.

PPSS- A negative four vote count on an article pointing out that the media in the USA is mostly propaganda (on a site which bans people who disagree with the sites desired narrative) is... well, super ironic, and a form of a badge of pride.
If a national health service is an excuse to tell people how to live, I've pretty happy Obama fucked it all up here and just institutionalized health insurers.
Hell, they could, on boot, display a message with something like "This phone contains contains a non genuine apple part"

Then the question is, could the NSA/CIA/etc trick the phone into thinking the repair was valid?
This is still not as bad as the newer laptops in which TPM is soldered onto motherboard and the OS won't boot if it's damaged. You can't even get it repaired, even by the manufacturer without getting a brand new motherboard.

Hardware level security is important, but one must know that whenever you involve hardware into the equation you must allow for collateral damage.

Trusting trust is hard. You can't expect the verifier to verify the security module you got changed from the guy in a basement. Might as well get the OS and kernel from the same guy too.

The reason this disables your phone is the same reason you see a red page when using self signed certificates. The guy vetting you isn't vetted himself. Now there is a case to be made that Apple should just show you a warning and let you use the phone. But this isn't about protecting your privacy, this is about protecting privacy of the guy whose phone you found.
As another comment points out, this could be a case of "well, she's just a program. No harm, no foul."

However, I am male, so all of my opinions here are immediately moot; obviously I am merely trying to create a world where I won't be prosecuted for whatever vile crime I will inevitably commit.

Fight strawmen wjth strawmen, I guess. (Or is "strawmen" sexist?)
If you're in a distractive environment you'll tend to pick that up. E.g., skimming internet articles and comments. If you don't work in a place where you must focus on multiple tasks. If people around you are scattered and unfocused. If you use external stimuli for arousal (food, TV, internet, whatever). Etc.
Ah I thought it was there. Good guess, I got the invite. Thanks!
Why would other technologies be slow? Voice recognition is very fast these days.
If you are specific enough then most problems have no known solutions. I work for government and we see a lot of solutions that solve most of our problems but there is always a catch. That cool cloud stuff? Can't use it. The problem in reality is we need a solution for X that also satisfies our privacy and security policy. From this perspective there is no known solution. We have to develop our own solution.

(And if there are hundreds that you actually need to pay attention to, you probably did something wrong. Even in its heyday, XML proliferation like that is unusual and suspect.)
I'm pretty sure there was no direct malice here (except for the usual Apple disregard for 3rd party components), but the security reasoning behind this move is still questionable. The only danger of a compromised Touch ID sensor, is that it could record your fingerprint and let the attackers replay that fingerprint to access all your encryption keys on Secret Enclave.

That would be a huge vulnerability, if there hadn't been thousands of other ways to record your fingerprint, and while most of them are less accurate than a trojan Touch ID, they're also much easier to pull off.

And at the very worst, if a sophisticated malicious actor got the chance to meddle with your phone, they could just skip the Touch ID sensor altogether and install a stealthy fingerprint digitizer in the touch screen or on the back of the phone.

So in short, Apple's security measure, if my understanding is correct, does absolutely nothing to protect the user.
3) Data is protected/hoarded/scattered because for regulatory reasons. Some countries (LU and CH come to mind) don't allow "their" financial data to be stored abroad, for instance.

4) There are many (MANY!) financial standards and formats. But at the end of the day, a payment is a payment. There are only so many different kinds of financial instruments and transactions.

There's a lot of noise, but the signal is still there. And solutions exist to make sense of it all.
RIP TWITTER
Maybe because some people want a Twitter alternative that isn't under the control of a single individual, company or group? There's an increasing amount of talk about Twitter trying to censor things that the management doesn't like hearing about, so perhaps some people might prefer a service or system where no one can control what can be said.

Still a few issues though. Like how to overcome the whole network effect thing. These systems aren't very useful unless there's a large audience, and it's hard to draw a large audience if no one's there to begin with.
"Reality has a liberal bias"
I know a couple of Dutch people that moved to Portugal. Surprise, even after living there for 30 years they are still openly discriminated against. My guess would be that such discrimination is so much a part of human nature that (sadly) if you put two people from one group and one from another in a room you'll instantly set off a whole slew of innate responses resulting in the two siding against the one.

It's sad but that seems to be the state of affairs and I don't expect this to get any better in the next couple of centuries. Barring an alien invasion that gives us a reason to play 'us' against 'them' on a bigger stage I doubt humanity will be able to really overcome this particular hurdle. Which is sad because it is a large driver behind all the violence and misery in the world.
Is a git repository one implementation of a Merkel DAG?
>when one is actually expressing an opinion that the person or thing is not worthy of merit, and history is rife with abuses that result from trivializing a group of people by distilling that group to a pejorative.

What I don't quite understand is why it trivializes people to use a disability as a pejorative, but it apparently doesn't trivialize people to use a disease as a pejorative.

v1 and v2 split up and even some maintainers doing their own thing now.

Sure, but that class of people can't do all the things required to run the city (food service, child care, etc). Those people have been priced out and are moving elsewhere. The city suffers; it becomes difficult to sustain the current pattern.
Nah. You want the congress to be the coders writing the law that is then literally executed like a program. But what I'm saying is that what "Watson" can actually do is help focus the decision making strategies on what rules and goals you want to implement. Trace through possible systemic failures (aka 3 strikes, mandatory minimums, small regulatory tweaks, etc) then implement the best option. Right now the http://www.bls.gov/bls/infohome.htm does this with aplomb, for much economic data, CDC, NIH, etc for other areas of study. But the synthesis of that analysis into rules and goals is right now done by a group of folks elected by gerrymandered districts to serve their needs w/o any machine assistance. How do they know what to trust, what changing the timeout on a law (the sunsetting or grandfather clauses) will do when implemented. They really can't do that without assistance from consultants and lobbyists and subject matter experts and interns, etc. Why not add computer aided decision making to the mix there first as there are so many more of them to help out. Then they could actually run competing models and test them out.

The executive branch should do the same thing, but the legislature should try it first. That's what I was saying, just the order of operations.
Second, Apple can provide an option to replace the fingerprint chip and charge, $150-$200 or whatever it costs for it.

At the end of the article, it said that affected customers should contact Apple Support. Are you sure they are not offering a hardware fix at that point? It doesn't sound to me like they're just letting people hang.
> human life is worth existing on its own

Worth to whom? A human life has value, but not to everybody. Or at least not the same value for everybody. Keeping people alive at any cost, and imposing to people how much they should contribute for achieving that, is not something everyone can agree with.
No fool, I'm not. I wasn't aware that the god of lightning was throwing down bolts from the sky to murder innocent civilians. And those dastardly killers committing murder by making people fall out of bed, someone should set up a taskforce, stat! It's diabolical.

Here's a small hint: those laws weren't just introduced due to homicides, but also for assaults.
That may be true but it does not cost me anything at all to change the text so that it does not offend and in that sense it is an improvement.

At the same time I see HN slide towards reddit just one little bit more with all the 'you insensitive clod' comments lately and that is sad too.
There's a simple solution to this: give Watson two platforms, one Republican, and one Democrat. Have Watson run in both primary elections. If he wins both primaries, on election day, voters will be able to choose between Watson running in Democrat mode, and Watson running in Republican mode.
The problem here is not so much that the devices are being bricked as the fact that it's coming as a nasty surprise. People needed to be warned about this, and the warning needed to happen before they bought the phone.

Absolutely. There are jobs that discriminate against people with eyesight disabilities (some aircraft pilot jobs, for
example) and there are many products that don't account for people wearing glasses.

People with glasses are widely stereotyped as nerds or geeks and often experience bullying.

People wearing glasses were also reportedly targeted in mass killings by the Khmer Rouge due to that same stereotype.

I think QlikSense is Qlik's answer to Tableau's desktop product.
You may, but that's not how the strategy guys at Microsoft see it, according to their own words. Data modeling and ETL capabilities rival SSAS and SSIS only in very trivial scenarios.

I'm not saying that to bash on PowerBI. I love that product and use it heavily and promote it to clients. It just serves different purposes than Tableau.
Quick FPA
Political decisions made via artificial reasoning have the advantage that it can keep a log of all the steps leading up to any given decision. Then, even if this log is too long and complex for humans to handle, AI run by civilian interest groups could inspect it to ensure that everything was done logically and proceeding from appropriate principles- interference from outside sources would presumably appear as conclusions made without rational basis. A whole new level of government transparency!

Granted, it may not work out so rosily in real life- the reasoning log would likely be liberally redacted due to factors classified from public knowledge (just as some of Obama's more puzzling stances may, charitably, be explained by things he's not allowed to tell us)- but that's its own problem.
That's quite true. I now see where the problem comes from. I did not apply the right words to convey my intended message. You can blame me for that.
The topic is about raising creative children and I actually intended to criticize imposing ideals and ambitions on children, or forcing them to a religion or cultural practice that is just preferred by the parents but not generally true or acceptable.
For example, I have severally witnessed parents coercing their children to take up a career in a particular field without regard to the children's strengths and weaknesses, just because the said fields are appealing to the parents. Some I've seen even threatened to discontinue the children's upkeep should they dissent.
I have also seen parents become alienated from their children due to religious differences: the child prefers to make his life more about his service to society through his career but his parents want him to be more religious and devout. Sometimes the parents go against any form of reasoning that conflicts with the tenets of their religion.
Such cases are the intended targets of my original comment and the quote I added.
Sorry for the confusion.
Agreeing on moral axioms also might be non-trivial. I for example do not agree with the one you list above, but instead go withz Peter Singer on preventing suffering and not protecting life per se. So abortions for example and even euthanasia of severely sick people including newborns are fair game. Also leads to the question if animal suffering should count and if so, how much? I think trying to take our moral debates down to principals like this might be a super valuable exercise for society though. Regardless if we program Watson to be president or not.

Edit: of course this in practice would devolve to 50+% of the country in essence saying "Whatever I think the bible says should be our acxiom". Completely ruining the discussion.

Tableau makes most straightforward analyses much simpler than attempting to do it in Ipython/pandas, especially when connecting to standard corporate data warehouses (probably on the order of 10x faster).

From a different article:

Honestly I see a lot of construction workers using pneumatic or power nailers and I'm sure it saves them a lot of time.

Watson is a perfectly fine product, it's just surrounded by ungodly amounts of hype. You can do pretty much anything Watson does with a standard desktop up to a certain size (though to be fair scale is one of Watson's main value propositions). The problem is that they market it like it's some sort of hyper-intelligent AI savior of the universe which causes the rest of us to roll our eyes every time those commercials come on.

I assume they're relying on non-ML people who make the money decisions to get caught up in the hype and force it on their organizations, but in my (very limited) experience that hasn't worked out. The people in charge at the organizations I've worked at have been just as skeptical of the hype.
The fact that iOS and Android have a UNIX like kernel doesn't count much if the majority of userspace apps use non UNIX APIs and tooling.

The article posits that the ideological system generates, reinforces, and imbues the social actors with the ideological rules you described.

“The focus on costs, profits, and economic success has pushed concerns of human well-being to the side. And this economic focus has apparently led to a belief, at least as reflected in choices about who and what to honour, that the ends surely justify the means, no matter how harsh.”
