You have expressed interest in the service. Maybe they don't serve your area, or maybe you aren't ready to use the service this month or next month but might 6 months from now. So how does this service get your business, a business that in theory you want?

Is the business supposed to simply wait for you to re-find it when you need it, or continue to come back and search again for when it's available in your area?

Isn't the whole point of LEAN and MVP to do this process so you know where demand is coming from?
I'd really appreciate an invite, too.
You can't seriously be saying that not being able to figure out which download button is the right one is reasonable? With experience, it's extremely easy to find the real one.

- It's usually smaller and less prominent than the fake ones.

- Mousing over it doesn't show a huge long URL to some external domain that sounds ad-like.

Using adblock probably gets rid of a lot of the fake ones too, but the general principle here is if it looks too good/easy to be true, it probably is. The buttons that seem really enticing are the ones you don't want to click, and it's that odd, not-very-attractive one that you want.
Apple's software has never been perfect-- but the competition was often much worse, so it looked really good. (I switched to Mac because I couldn't take WindowsXP crashing all the time.)

However, now Apple is essentially the iPhone company. The iPhone has a new version, with new hardware and new capabilities, every year. This basically means a new iOS, new apps, and often, new capabilities in OS X (Hand-off, whatever is happening with photo sharing this year, etc), and new features in XCode. (Plus all the watch stuff last year.)

I'm all for being agile and moving fast, but there's just not enough time to do this right. Sure, it might help to have more focus, and they have plenty of people and money. They just don't have enough time.
Here's betting all this will be a boon to pirate tech if it continues forward to become active law.
DCHQ – Cloud Automation. Ridiculously Flexible. Reduce Costs. Access Controls
> There are notable absences (CHINA) that make the treaty effectively meaningless

Don't be fooled by the headlines, the TPP changes "rules of origin" which will reduce US tariffs for Chinese-made auto parts that will now count as "Japanese". This will negatively affect North American auto parts manufacturing, https://theintercept.com/2015/11/11/trump-was-right-about-tp...

"Right now, the U.S. reserves the right to slap large tariffs on China, as it has done on steel (up to 236 percent), solar panels (up to 78 percent) and tires (up to 88 percent). But under TPP, many products, from agriculture to chemicals to plastics to leather seating, can include up to 60 percent of material from a non-TPP country ... China would not have to raise any standards or comply with any TPP rules, yet still be able to produce millions of auto parts and textiles for TPP countries at a lower cost, without the burden of tariffs."

> There are 150 other countries you can go to if you don't like these rules.

Europe has TTIP. China, India and other Asian countries have RCEP. The provisions are similar or worse than TPP. This is a race to the bottom, which is why the first trade agreement (TPP) matters so much. Stop the TPP and it will be easier for countries to push back on TTIP and RCEP. There is also TiSA which spans 50 countries. All of these agreements need to be renegotiated with additional corporate and civil society stakeholders, rather than favoring the small number of corporations that hijacked the TPP for their own purposes.
Sounds like it needs a large scale Monte Carlo trial to assess the impact of this effect. "Further study is needed."

Ask HN: I think I need serious help for self development. Any advice?
I work for a company in bay area who has pretty good tech stack. Company is around for 10+ years now and job is okay. However, lately I have got into bad habit of working 12+ hours. Unfortunately I am not making any progress as well. It is just same issue and same task going over and over again.

I just keep planning without any action. This year I decided that I will work on a side project. So far I have only purchased domain and made zero progress beyond it.

I also want to learn machine learning, scala and bunch of other stuff. How do I do that?

"It's a clever ploy..."

Not really all that clever. Same old story. They take users for fools. Maybe users will stay dumb re: ads, but then maybe not. It's amusing to watch the companies that must jam the ads into your pages to make money claiming they can "make the internet faster" (a previous ploy) or "safer" for users. These companies are part of the problem, not the solution. Unless they find a new "business model". But why bother when this one - being a middleman to people's use of the internet, selling ads and jamming them into every page they can - works so well?

7 things wrong with getting a PhD in academia
7. No reward for being successful. Success is punished with more responsibility.

6. No one outside of your laboratory cares about the knowledge and skills you learn.

5. No career prospects with the knowledge you've learned. Industry generally won't care, so the only way to use your knowledge is to stay in academia. But even top PhD students can no longer expect to land a professorship.

4. Lousy pay barely keeps you above the poverty line. Uber drivers make more.

3. University collects lots of money to "teach" you. In actuality, the University uses you as an employee. But because the professor usually has to pay for your "education" with their grant money, the professors expect a lot out of you in return.

2. Lack of freedom to study important problems. Professors still studying pointless stuff become overly protective of their work and expect their students to feel the same way.

1. You're trapped. Many professors won't hand out a PhD until after you've completed an insane amount of work. Can't expect a good recommendation letter if you drop out early.

I am bitter about my experiences as a graduate student, but I am not a failure---I'm a first author in a Nature paper.

There's lots of other factors besides compiler support and cost. There are some PIC devices with extreme low-power states that ARM can't really touch.

It's also pretty common for special-purpose devices to include a small general purpose core. For example the TI CC2541 BTLE module includes an 8051.
> it's a secret conspiracy, and irritated by advocacy writing that suggests it is one.

It's important to realize - and this is true for most topics, not just the TPP - that there isn't much practical difference between a "secret conspiracy" and a "loose collection of parties with similar interests". In casual language, it's easier to say something like

They [it's always 'they'] planned this! The people pushing the TPP are
trying to scam us!

when what is really intended might be closer to

The people in a position that has actual decision-making power or influence
usually got to that position by using large amounts of money. The sources of
that money vary, but in any case an attitude is cultivated where money ends
up as the primary indicator when judging success.

When considering future policies, people with this type of attitude will
tend to prefer plans that maximize what they see as "success"m which is
any plan that maximizes money, regardless of other effects. Hence concepts
like the ISDS (both as an idea and it's idiotic implementations) are seen as
absolutely necessary to "protect investors" (maximize money/success), while
national sovereignty, health-and-safety regulations, and the possibility of
laws that require exposing source code are all seen as roadblocks to success.

Therefor, without any need for conspiracy, plans such as the TPP can gain
significant support because it aligns with the priorities of the people in power.

or something like that. Obviously, the latter is harder to say and probably impossible to say as a sound-bite. The former statement - which sounds like it requires a conspiracy - is often used as a shorthand, sometimes for brevity, sometimes because the speaker doesn't know how to articulate the longer variation in detail.

Of course, sometimes people actually intend to make an accusation of conspiracy... and sometimes villainous people actually do get together and make harmful plans.

I suggest that it's useful to assume a charitable interpretation when reading this kind of statement for two reasons: 1) Hanlon's Razor, and 2) often the details don't really matter (an international treaty can be just as damaging regardless of it's origin).

Unfortunately, American politics has always had a certain paranoid style[1].

> TPP has only a marginal impact on US public policy

That may be true in the short term, but it's hard to change treaties and the laws they create once they are enacted. If our position in the world changes in the future, we may find the tools the TPP creates being used against us.

The American Empire is rapidly in decline[2]. While it's hard to say what that means for the political and economic future of the world, it's probably safe to say that at least some of the power that America currently holds will move elsewhere.

What type of user would want this?

It could be interesting in a school setting or maybe in the developing world. However, the product seems a bit paradoxical: use your phone as your main/only device, but meanwhile, you have a monitor available to use.

Most people who only own phones probably don't own monitors, right? A mini projector seems more inline with the "mobile only" use case since monitors aren't portable.
Yeah some people still act under the illusion that online speech should have no consequences in the physical world.

Just a little bit of trivia which I found interesting -- Apple actually did not miss the antenna interference problem. They knew that it was an issue, but I guess they figured it was an acceptable tradeoff for the design they wanted.

They aren't trying to make money short term. That's the kicker. I think they'll be able to monetize it later in a way that doesn't impact the average Joe.
I like the idea of one personal computer, so as not to have to deal with syncing, but for this to work for me they'd need to offer a laptop dock, since I don't even have a desk at home to put a monitor on, not to mention the monitor itself!
It indirectly was a feature. Instead of always going through HomeJoy customers would start going directly to the cleaners cutting HomeJoy out completely. This was on top of HomeJoy offering coupons that made the service so cheap they would lose money until the customer stopped going through them and directly through the cleaner.

Docker assumes it cannot trust the container's DNS resolver to respect TTL and cache in a compliant way. So it guarantees stable name->ip mapping for each container. As a result, when you point a service endpoint at another container, it's the IP/container mapping that is changed, which is a much more reliable and atomic change. I would definitely never rely on changing DNS records to orchestrate changes to my production stack, that would be way too brittle.

Many cancers really aren't avoidable, as there's a spectrum of causes. The mutations that cause cancer can come from many sources - carcinogen exposure, UV light/radiation, inherited defects, or unavoidable errors that occur when cells divide (on average, around 3 errors per cell division).

Getting cancer is a lot like playing the lottery (or perhaps more accurately, Russian Roulette). It requires an accumulation of mutations in two or more key genes, and these mutations occur more or less randomly throughout the genome, regardless of cause. So maybe your first hit happens from a chest X-ray, and the second hit comes from smoking. Or maybe you just get old and the replication errors pile up in blood stem cells, giving you leukemia.

The point is that it's all probablistic, and that's why some smokers live to be 100 cancer-free, and some health-nut marathoners get cancer. In general, though, these external factors can bend the odds one way or the other.

Well, that's one aspect. Another aspect is that there's no rule saying that everyone's efforts are worth getting paid, no matter how hard that person worked. Well-engineered, objectively better products & services get out-maneuvered or preemptively made impossible all the time, and ludicrous amounts of money are spent on advertising to, y'know, help people figure out what they need.

Population and automation proliferation both make humans less and less relevant, and non-altruistic behavior by rich and powerful is hardly ever punished because they have all the advantages. We sure do crack down hard on non-altruistic behavior committed by those in poverty, though.
