Also, number 2 REALLY shines when you have concatenated items such as scripts together, so you just check the expiration of "all-the-scripts.js", and only load it once.

In Asia small appliances had a magnet on the power cable for ages these aren't fridges but smaller appliances like kettles and hotplates and it was added exactly for the same reason that Apple added it to their laptops the only difference is that Asia has been doing so since the 60's.
Even funnier, the 'games' were as much software than hardware extension. The main system was often designed to have an external loop to hook in optional chips in the cartridge.

Mind elaborating on what you mean?
I think in general, media are getting better with statistics, at least when their biases are threatened (think of "fact checks" that give context to statistics cited by politicians). However, one part of making the media more mathematically literate is by introducing the concept of scale. In physics and engineering, the concept of scale is hammered into us as units or a "baseline" for comparison, or explicitly (Energy scales for an interaction, for example). Without a scale, a number is almost useless.

Here, 77% sounds like a large number because it is a clear majority of the total. Here, the implicit baseline is 100%, which makes it sound terrible. However, at least in my field of laser-plasma interaction, an energy conversion efficiency of an interaction of 5% is a lot compared to the typical interaction! That is, if you lose 95% of the energy you put into the system, that's much better than most experiments! The baseline here cannot be 100%, it has to be the efficiency of the typical experiment.

It would help if media learn that whenever it reports a statistic or a measurement, it needs to communicate a scale, a baseline, something for comparison. There are times, would you believe it, when 100% isn't the right baseline or the number of fingers on one's hand isn't a useful scale. (1000 people are many compared to my number of close friends but small compared to the US population). Because otherwise, people can get the wrong impression by comparing a naked number to implicit, and meaningless, baselines.
How do you do capacity planning?
Thanks for the mention, Tim.

In that benchmark, pings are actually 512-byte messages. So, MigratoryData published 200,000 messages/sec to 12 million clients at a total bandwidth of over 1 Gbps.

BTW that benchmark result has been improved recently in terms of latency. The JVM Garbage Collection pauses were almost eliminated using Zing JVM from Azul Systems and the MigratoryData server was able to publish almost 1 Gbps to 10 million concurrent clients with an average end-to-end latency of 15 milliseconds, the 99th percentile of 24 milliseconds, and the maximum latency of 126 milliseconds (computed on almost 2 billion messages):

Predictions seem to be consistently wrong, or at least random. We don't have flying cars. My mother was told in the 30's that there would be movies in the home in 80's. She really hoped her eyesight would be good enough to see the TV at that age.

I think if anyone would actually be good at predictions they could somehow take advantage of that. Maybe in the stock market?

Why do you want more scrutiny for Google's patents? As far as I know, they have never used their patents aggressively, only as a defense. In an environment containing trolls like Apple and Microsoft, I can't blame them.
> This really is only relevant if your site is hosting untrusted content.

I thought designing for security meant both removing privileges and preventing escalation of privileges? I might think my site doesn't host untrusted content, but I might turn out to be wrong about that.

It's worth thinking about what checklists are traditionally used for:

Checklists are a form of risk mitigation that comes out of the disaster investigation world (the FAA is the checklist OG in my mind). The idea is not to create a document that handles every possible situation and every possible corner case, preventing the need for human thought or expertise. The idea is to build up, over a period of time, lists of crucial things which

a) have some chance of getting forgotten and

b) can't be constrained through design

and put them in lists small enough to tick through regularly. It's a way of catching brain farts before they kill someone, not an attempt to replace proper engineering.
I would argue that is not the point of the story. The point is that this man stood up for his daughter who was being made to feel bad because she had a better answer than the other kids. You can quibble about 9^9^9 vs Knuth notation vs Conway notation (you didn't mention that one) vs some arbitrary notation you can invent, but the point is the girl was more creative than the rest of her class and was penalized for it, and her dad stood up for her.
The FTC would probably argue (not saying it's a good argument) that not implying that you are collecting data is implying that you won't.

>But the point is, it is a very trivial way of interacting with a touchscreen. It is, in fact, one of the few ways one can interact with a touchscreen.

I don't get how people can argue stuff like this should even be covered by patents. What's the rationale ?

Did Apple spend billions in R&D to develop this feature it now needs a mechanism to recoup it's investment ? I suppose they wouldn't "invent" swipe to unlock if it wasn't for the patent so they needed extra incentives to make it a viable investment ?

The fact that you can get a patent for something trivial and inconsequential like this shows how flawed the system is IMO.

Why shouldn't MSFT claim patents for FAT? They've developed it and it was adopted by everyone and their mother for being good and cheap FS.

You don't need to support FAT to allow transfer of files between your your Windows PC and the phone standards that abstract the file system like MTP and PTP exist for this very own reason.

If you are as a phone maker want to enable users to mount their local phone storage as a fully writable file system cheaply you just format the SDCard using FAT and pay royalties.

If you don't you can still easily bypass the FAT patent issue by creating your own abstraction layer which may or maynot require the user to use specialized software and drivers (BB manager/itune/kies etc.).

That said for the majority of users MTP and PTP are more than sufficient I have an iPhone now and I do not miss the mount-SD card feature one bit if I'm honest even without using iTunes on a non-jailbroken device.

I can still plugin the phone and transfer files from the camera which is pretty much the only bloodything I could do with it anyhow and for this Apple does not need to support FAR nor pay MSFT a dime.

Yes that may be the cause of marginal inequality in a meritocracy which most everyone would argue is better than oligarchy. But extreme inequality is where those with the most money (the "super admin" user group) produce negligible real wealth.
You won't likely have the opportunity to ask the attacker either. This uncertainty is an inherent part of the problem.
Yep. As i recall this was the case for both NES and SNES, with SNES making a bigger marketing fuss about it (SuperFX mostly). I think they stepped away from direct bundling with the N64 and dropped the concept when moving to discs with the Gamecube.
In this somewhat related article the controller of SF discusses how the city's budget is used: http://www.sfexaminer.com/san-franciscos-9-billion-question/

It's fairly obvious that there isn't enough $ for infrastructure investment on a municipal level.

I'm not entirely sure how the system in the U.S. works but it appears that a city is responsible for the maintenance of its own roads. For transit cities like SF this is somewhat unfortunate. The 7 million people living in the Bay Area use these streets frequently but a majority does not contribute to funding them.

Probably city tolls (for regular streets, not only bridges) could help mitigate this issue.

It definitively has not. Rather than making confusing analogies, why not just state explicitly the difference?
but the difference between neural nets and markov chains is the probabilistic element of nn is the optimal traversal and could be replaced with a perfect algo if one were found to be computationally feasable

whereas markov chains start from a place of probability and require it

the construction stage of the markov model agrees with your statement:

> just because one thing very likely follows another doesn't mean the preceding event "caused" the next one

but when in use the current state is the cause of the following state informed by your model

nn can simulate a system whereas an mc can only simulate data from a system
Memorylessness, a crucial concept in AI
AI researchers are not any better at predictions. There was a time they thought true AI was just a matter of enough hardware, so they extrapolated hardware growth speed.

Obviously they were wrong: For true AI we need new software too - all the hardware in the world would not accomplish it.

Seems consistent to me. Just because you have hardware doesn't mean you know how to use it well. Consider everyone accidentally writing an O(n^2) algorithm on their multi-gigahertz/gigabyte/terabyte (CPU/RAM/HDD) machines. At the time, there was no reasonable algorithm which even on the top supercomputer could hope to beat the world champion. Then MCTS came along a few years later, and at that point maybe you could've scraped together enough hardware to beat him; then another few years, and AlphaGo... We are in the same position now for AI: the bottleneck is not the hardware but knowing what to run. (Some technical examples of this: model compression, binary networks, and residual networks, show that what we can run far outstrips what we're able to train.)
I agree movies can rely less on CGI and since the camera/acting hasn't made dramatic leaps like game tech it doesn't really matter that much.

I think you are misunderstanding me with HL comment - I'm not saying you need to have the best graphics in the generation to be a good game - I'm saying every generation raises the bar for "tolerable" on multiple value scales (both graphics, gameplay, story, sound/voice acting).

HL had good graphics for it's era, and as someone else mentioned you can pull a lot of weight if you have a style that works with what you have. For example Fallout games have/had crap graphics compared to contemporary shooters - for example Bioshock was much better graphically and stylistically - but it's good enough to be passable so you can focus on gameplay/story/world.

But if Fallout 3/4 had HL1 graphics and design constraints I doubt I or many other people would play it.
"Many eyes" theory needs a bit more analysis than "there exists an occurrence of a bug getting through"
I think that's a bit unfair. He's not saying you are required to commit your own time in order to meet performance requirements; he's just saying that the business needs to take a balanced view on priorities in order to ship. So if you care enough about a deprioritised issue that you can't sleep, and the company is unable or unwilling to change its priorities, feel free to fix it on your own time. Or don't. Your call.

Now if the company demanded certain perf issues be resolved ahead of shipping and didn't provide company time for it, that would be a different matter and I'd agree with you.
I'd say learning is a bit different, it might benefit your current employer but it also benefits your future employment prospects so it makes sense for you to study it in your own time. Working on your employer's work probably doesn't.
Show HN: RepoCreator – GitHub Project Scaffolding as a Service
Yes, the Neonode has "slide to unlock", but Apple's patent is for a very specific set of claims; items which the Neonode didn't implement. With Apple's patent, they claim novelty over having a single graphical element that the user needs to move with predefined start and end points. Another claim expands upon that saying there is a graphical arrow showing direction of movement. Another claim says there is help text explaining to the user what to do.

So yeah, on the surface one can easily state "they both have slide to unlock" but in order to discount Apple's patent you need to show that there exists prior art for the specific claims Apple made in its patent. The Neonode is not prior art for those claims.
Most internet users are very stupid when it comes to tech.

Google receives as much scrutiny as Microsoft. What they don't receive is criticism, because it's hard to criticize something that is sitting around mostly doing nothing.
> you're playing the same game with the definition of backdoor that we were accusing the government of before. Hacking a phone is not creating a backdoor. Shipping phones with an intentional vulnerability is a backdoor.

Well, those aren't entirely separate things. In the instant case, Apple is being asked to create a tool to open an existing phone. That clearly falls under the umbrella of "hacking a phone".

If they were to continue selling phones (that is, after all, what they do) after creating the tool, though, they'd be intentionally shipping phones with a known vulnerability[1]. So it's perfectly sensible to describe the request as being "to create a back door".

[1] I am given to understand that the phones Apple currently manufactures would not be vulnerable to the tool they're being asked to create. I don't feel that changes the issues I mention, but it does mean they don't apply perfectly to this case.
