I will tell you that using Apple Maps for directions while using the watch is great-it knocks on your wrist in one way to alert you that you're going to need to take an action, then it vibrates in a different way to tell you to turn right or left, or continue on straight. Its a small feature but when you're driving someplace busy or walking down an unfamiliar street its really very nice to have this kind of feedback without taking your eyes off the road/sidewalk.

Thanks! My regular route is Lisbon -> Amsterdam -> San Francisco with KLM. It's 5 am flight with a 50 minute connection in AMS, but Schiphol is a wonderful airport, the dutch very helpful, and I quite like the old airplanes they use on this route. I can usually find a ticket for $700, too.
Tell them you're unhappy with your salary, and that the quality of your work is suffering because of it. Word it as if the next option you have is to quit, unless they remedy it. Don't leave on a bad note, and don't burn bridges, but keep that treatment of you in the back of your head.
I think their argument is like this: Imagine there are 10 units of methane in the atmosphere and every year 1 unit breaks down into CO2.

If cows add 1 unit per year and the source of that unit is ultimately CO2, then the cows aren't actually making things worse than they are now.
Stop participating in the economy as much as possible. Learn to live a subsistence lifestyle. Move to the second or third world and learn how to live like the third world in a very small amount of space consuming the least amount of resources necessary to live. You can do it. Also don't have any children.

While you do this the capitalists will be trying to move all the 3rd world people to the 1st world lifestyle. Just to balance things out.
thank you, somehow I published the note instead of the direct link... now I can't edit it
Agreed - this looks cool and you could have it as a stand alone product.
Well, it came from being the children of people who provided a good or service, and likely in large part due to illegal unfair competitive advantage.

Hi Cubano,

I remember earlier very open minded posts from you. Thank you.

I can relate a bit about the loss of family and friends and feeling desolated. While it is true you might not be able to replace your family, it is possible to make new friends.

It worked for me and I have never been happier, even without the family.

I will put my email in my profile. Keep going.
I recently discovered that you can get a feed much more like the 2008-era facebook, on the fb ios app at least, by seaching for the string "posts by my friends". Getting rid of all those page posts and comments feels like trying on noise cancelling headphones for the first time.
For me, even a highly inefficient process that was small enough would be interesting. Living in a corrupt country (the Czech republic) there is no way to hook a solar panel up to the grid. But if I could plug a solar panel into an amonia generator, and sell the amonia, that could let me and many other people who are unable to use solar for political reasons get into solar. I certainly spend enough emotional energy worying about the environment, that a few hundered or even thousand bucks for solar panels wouldn't really be a hurdle for me.
For the whole country it would make a certain amount of sense to use the address of the White House.

100% agree that lambdas fight python's aesthetics. On the expression complexity front I can definitely say it's easy to slowly increase their complexity until they're no longer readable. As a side note, comprehensions in Python (2 at least, not sure about 3) leak scope a bit which can lead to some really funky bugs if you're in a loop and absentmindedly use a loop variable in a comprehension.

>> x = 5
>> [x for x in range(10)]
>> x # => 9
You're not "producing" limitless energy. You're reusing the existing energy, because the energy cannot be destroyed. Again, there's no reason why this can't be done within a closed system, except for our technical limitations. Indeed, tracking and recovering energy is the entire idea behind reversible computing.

Maybe I'm strange, but that seems totally useless to me, because I feel pretty much the same every day.
Is it ironic? Europe's great modern wealth is socialist capitalism.

The original canonical work on capitalism, Adam Smith's "On the Wealth of Nations" lays this out clearly.

A minor nitpick: Canonical is a company, Ubuntu is their (main) product.
Um, except plenty of evidence exists that Jobs was involved with the Apple Watch plans from the beginning -- supposedly all major product lines released through 2015 began under his watch (no pun intended).
Interestingly, I just wrote a blog post today [1] about how larger enterprises use different tactics to keep developers from realizing they're the ones who hold the real power at software companies. (It was going to be a comment to another thread on HN but it felt too long.) Your comment that you felt useless and worthless at the well-known enterprise software company is no coincidence, it's a very intentional and calculated cultural move.

> nobody needs expensive watches, but the communicate that you have disposable income

I respectfully disagree.

Like all objects, watches hold different meanings to different people. For you, it sounds like they are a social signalling mechanism - but not for everyone. For example, if you collect watches you'll appreciate many aspects of these wonderful objects. Take the Omega Speedmaster 105.003 - it's vintage, it's probably expensive, and it looks like your grandfathers watch. I could care less what it signals to others, for me - it's the watch NASA sent to the moon. It's mechanical. It's an object that I love! I wear it because it pleases me to look at it.

However, having said that - I now wear an Apple watch for a completely different reason - it's functional. It's more useful than the Omega.

Wearing a watch is not about social signalling for everyone. Some people just like watches :-)
Not necessarily, govtspeak explanation[1]:

Normally, one would think that a communication that has been intercepted and stored in a government database as “collected.” But the government’s definition of what it means to “collect” intelligence information is quite different than its plain meaning.

Under Department of Defense regulations, information is considered to be “collected” only after it has been “received for use by an employee of a DoD intelligence component,” and “data acquired by electronic means is ‘collected’ only when it has been processed into intelligible form.”

In other words, the NSA can intercept and store communications in its data base, then have an algorithm search them for key words and analyze the meta data without ever considering the communications “collected.”

They could start off by help cleaning up a person's feed. Users should not be able to see if a friend likes or comments on a post. It creates noise. Many are turned off by Facebook because of all the noise that is generated.
Since it appears you have first-hand experience, could you please explain what long term purpose of this hiding assets is? Do they just enjoy keeping it all to themselves, or they plan to pass on wealth to their kins, or something else?

Because as I see it right now, all that money sheltered effectively removed from US economy and as a result makes everyone a bit richer via deflation... Unless I am missing something.

Four years after launch, it's now clear that the web does not need another useless news publication.
We are at the point now where if you are surprised by the serious journalism going on at Buzzfeed, it just means you have not been paying attention.
I think these things are kind of grim. Living life without considering its length as a motivation to do things is perfectly fine.
The greatest crime a capitalist can imagine is an employee getting paid the amount they are promised, in excess of that they deserve. The greatest virtue a capitalist can imagine is an employer making profits in excess of their contribution.

I've been bankrupt, as in not a dime to my name, twice. That did not stop me.

Not saying everyone has to be an entrepreneur, not everyone is wired for the risk and dedication it entails. What I am recoiling against this this bullshit notion that there's a dirty inequality based solely on the amount of money someone makes or has. That is NOT the direct cause of poverty. It's pure nonsense. Comparing CEO salary to receptionist salary is nonsense. It's a victim mentality.

A friend of mine has a PhD in Physics and was working in aerospace. He did the math and determined he could not build wealth if he stayed on that path. He quit his aerospace job and started a non-tech business having nothing to do with his education. A truck driver could have started the same business. He failed. He dusted himself off and tried again. He now owns multi million dollar homes and has a pretty decent lives. Some if his aerospace "friends" resent him yet not one of them will quit their job to try and improve their lives.

Lack of education? $1,000 buys you a ticket to a number of countries where university education is free and the cost of living is super low.

No, the problem is having a victim mentality rather than being hell-bent to make it. It's easier.
The author could still work with people to create it.
My idea is not about revolutionizing hiring, but changing education. As you rightly point out technical certification currently have a bad reputation (well deserved). This is what my idea fixes.
Sure, but again: "how accelerator pedal tells engine to make higher vroom noise" is a very very basic part of understanding an engine.

Omitting it leads to a big hole in the reader's understanding, since the accelerator pedal is likely their only method of interacting with an engine.
Nothing strange happens when something falls into a black hole. We could right now be beyond the event horizon of a newly forming black hole. Unless a black hole is particularly small, in which case there will be notable tidal forces near the event horizon, the event horizon of a black hole is a pretty ordinary place hardly distinguishable from flat space. So nothing happens to matter or antimatter when it falls into a black hole.
I really wish this weren't on Buzzfeed.
It's fascinating to watch a few college kids fill a niche, become super successful, and then ruin the whole thing. It started out as an exclusive social club, which is what made it work. Now everyone and their grandma (literally) uses it as nothing more than an alternative to email and newspapers. The writing's on the wall, Facebook is already dead, they just don't realize it.
> Spotify has historically opted to run our core infrastructure on our own private fleet of physical servers (aka machines) rather than leveraging a public cloud

One has to wonder why they would opt for this. The entire story is a textbook example of where using a cloud would have been immensely better. Instead of leveraging mature pubic cloud offerings, they chose a path that evidently required huge amounts of developer time and resulted in a tremendous amount of pain/wasted time for downstream developers, only to scrap it in the end when they finally realized there's no point in trying to re-implement AWS/GCE. Think clouds are expensive? I'd love to quantify the number of wasted developer-hours resulting from this decision to use physical servers and see how it would stack up against even a very expensive AWS bill.
I am living in the country with such laws in place (Switzerland); but most old people I talked to really want to live. Nobody wants to die, unless they are in great pain.
> "First it is important to understand what this encryption module is actually supposed to do and understand the threat scenario. The encryption provides no security against a malicious server operator, because the encryption happens on the server. The only scenario where this encryption helps is if one has a trusted server that is using an untrusted storage space."

While it's a good finding that even in this specific scenario the crypto-module is screwed up, I think an even bigger problem is that most people hosting owncloud either don't know or care about all threats not covered by this scenario.

I heard stuff like "Owncloud has crypto, so it must be secure." from people hosting owncloud on server they didn't have much control (especially physically) about. It's not only the "malicious server operator" but everyone with administrative access (legitimate or not) to this server.

But unfortunately I don't know a selfhosted easy-to-install-and-use alternative with strong client-side encryption, which boils down to: Dropbox (or any other cloud storage provider) with client-side encryption of your own choice is more secure than owncloud with only the crypto-module.
If you got (0,0), how would you know which country the IP address is from? I think it makes perfect sense for a country's default location to be somewhere within that country.

(0,0) would only be a useful default if you knew the IP address is located somewhere on planet Earth, but not more than that. And at time of writing, the vast majority (all?) of IP addresses are located on Earth anyway, so it's not especially helpful.
I actually agree on the premise that simpler usually means more reliable. I have no doubt that novelty also plays a large subconscious role in the justification.
That s look cool. I thought Brigade app was trying to do something similar. But appears it is more restrict to political debates.

Ok, let's start at the beginning.

Electricity is an essential, safe, and cost effective means of lighting. Radio/TV is a great way of receiving information about the world around you. A computer is now an essential way to get things done in the modern world and to participate in the market economy. A smartphone is a portable computer, it lets you do (almost) all the things you can with a computer on the go. It is quickly becoming essential. People need these things.

An Apple watch is just a useless status symbol, like all watches this day in age.
I found this article spot on and in fact just decided yesterday independently I'd like to sell or give away my watch.

Yes, it's nice to respond to a call on your wrist, and yes the health tracking (esp. the heart rate monitor) is kind of cool, but it just doesn't add that much value overall.

And there are downsides:

- The cost

- I always felt a little embarrassed wearing it for some reason; probably my own issues but I didn't like the idea that I was broadcasting "I spent $400+ on this not-that-useful watch"

- I often went running without the watch, and then it would complain I didn't do much exercise that week

- It's another "thing" to manage: charge it at night, take an extra charger with you on trips, something to get lost, etc.

I think the fallacy here is that Apple tried to create a mini iPhone plus a few extra features. But then it's not adding much incremental value, and it requires an iPhone anyway.

I'd rather the Apple Watch go in a direction that opens up new frontiers, which I think is all around the health tracking and minimizing or eliminating everything else. I'd love to get biofeedback, sleep patterns, stress level measurements, heart rate graphs throughout the day, pulse oximetry, echocardiograms, and other cool insights about my body.

My iPhone can't do any of that (without extra's), and that could make a real impact on my day-to-day.
Because like most entities their employees are on a five day schedule, and most of those employees want M-F so they can family on weekends. Guess.
My idea is not about how people learn.

The current system of technical interviews works - my idea is about making this process better. The market exists, my idea makes the process more efficient and captures some of the value created.
I've suggested separately that Google should can the concept of supporting apps and look at what functions it wants to provide, and provide a Free Software framework for supporting that, with a guidance structure specifying what app authors and package maintainers must and must not do.

>I think the peace of mind that you and everyone you'll ever know will never get disappeared into someone's rape dungeon doesn't seem so bad.

Unfortunately total government control means that you'd always be at the risk of being disappeared into the government's rape dungeon.

>universal bill of rights for living entities?

Who decides what's in that universal bill of rights? What happens to those who inevitably disagree with whats in that bill?

>Just also don't do stupid shit like control the expression of two consenting persons just because what they're doing is not your cup of tea. Is this really so hard to differentiate between?

Yes, unfortunately it is. Many, if not most people (and virtually every government), on the planet earth not only have no problem controlling the expression of two consenting persons, they are happy to do so with the threat of force. Who decides what a government with absolute power should or shouldn't do. Is it you? Is it the mullah in Pakistan? Is it the point heads in Washington DC?

>Sure, freedom is about being able to do what you want with your life, but it also means being able to do it safely, without the fear of getting pwned.

No, that's the opposite of freedom. In a free society, you have a risk of getting pwned. In a Totalintarian society (like the one you describe), your lack of freedom makes you pwned by definition. In a free society, people are free to make bad choices. Any sort of society that is oppressive enough to preemptively prevent behavior must have total control over all behavior - the very antithesis of freedom.
Reminds me of http://www.nina4airbnb.com/ who made an extensive analysis of where airbnb should target next in an attempt to convince airbnb to hire her.

After her website went viral, she did eventually get an interview with airbnb. While making such an analysis is no guarantee of a job, she was rejected because the interviewer couldn’t contextualize her experience because she "hadn’t worked at facebook or google or studied at stanford".

She did however in the process land several interviews with different companies and picked a company called upwork in the end. So this kind of work can have several positive side effects even if your initial objective is not reached.

Her complete report can be read here: http://eatwritewalk.com/2015/07/14/the-good-the-bad-and-the-...
This. Especially in the range of a ~$1000 watch. A Movado will cost you $500-$1500...it's not a high end motorized watch, but it looks nice. The Apple Watch is certainly more useful, one can argue it looks better than a lot of watches in the $1000 range. It wouldn't replace an uber luxury timepiece, but I certainly think its the best watch you can buy in that price range and it is BY FAR more useful.
My biggest gripe is not including the link to the accelerator pedal. If you don't know how pushing the pedal makes the engine spin faster, do you even have a basic understanding of how engines work?

Ever since the 60s, epiphanies and ideas like this are fads, fashion statements. How did George Romero say it? Something like "it was the 60s, everyone had something to say." The 60s never ended, people keep thinking they have something to say, and since nobody's listening to them on Twitter and Facebook anymore, they're just getting more creative.
This is the same reason I don't share anymore. I will post photos from a trip and my own parents wont see it in their news feed. It just feels like, "what's the point?", I might as well just e-mail them directly.

Edit: At the same time, boosted posts for business pages targeting friends of friends seem to actually work well now. For a $20 investment, the phone actually rings, and it generates real sales.

Actually, this is better (and no less clear):

import Data.List
queens n = q [] [0..n-1] where
q s [] = [[]]
q s as = concatMap (\a -> q (a:s) (delete a as)) (filter (f 1 s) as)
f _ [] a = True
f n (b:s) a = a /= b+n && a /= b-n && f (n+1) s a
main = print $ length (queens 8)

Undoubtedly functional, the question is whether it is improved eg. by using folds instead of explicit recursion, or replacing concatMap with monadic join.
What are we optimizing for? Ownership or usage? Personal gain or Aggregate Utility?
