I tried the Iphone for the trial period due to its popularity once. Never again. Multi-tasking on the android is a breeze and flows more naturally vs my experience with the iphone. Plus the Iphone while once set the standard it now appears to be trailing far behind most android devices.

I recently switched my mom from the iphone to samsung s7 because it has a SD card storage. She recently lost all her pictures because the iphone died on her and there is no way to get it back . She had tears in her eyes because it had pictures of the grandkids. Keep in mind she has no internet nor computer at home she just wanted a phone wiht camara capabilities .

I had to explain to her that unlike her previous android phone that had removable SD card storage the IPHONE ecogreedness doesn't, because they want you to pay for there icloud storage.

Hence I switched her back to android with SD storage. Which makes it breeze to swap cards when they fill up and back them up without having to use craptunes.

Not saying androids are the best thing since slice bread but I don't see the hype about iphones and there closed ecosystem?

Your #1 should really say "I know this is safe, but since the compiler can't prove it, you'll have to trust me."

That is, using unsafe doesn't mean you're doing anything unsafe, only that the rust compiler doesn't model why it is safe.
Did you read the article linked? It specifically dismisses the idea that the Constitution can be a governing document of people who are generations removed from its ratification.

Falling back on a constitutional argument (at least, one that simply says "everyone should follow the Constitution!") is somewhat lazy in response to a specific refutation of the Constitution.
You are an outlier:

All the indie iOS devs I know gave up long ago and took regular jobs writing apps for companies that give the app away for free as part of some larger business model.
It's shocking to find out that a science education is actually pretty useful for leading a science company. DFJ and the other investors should be getting way more of the blame for not doing proper due diligence on Theranos. It's kind of amazing in a way that the company is still a going concern. There is going to be no salvaging this company, because it has nothing of value. What a shmozzle.
People had something figured out before cars existed, but they were still better off afterwards.
> Fortunately, any user of the C stdlib (including other languages) already expects it to be unsafe.

Yes, but it may be better to phrase it as "Fortunately, any user of the C stdlib already expects it to be unsafe by the standard and definition Rust uses".

People often have their own idea of what unsafe is, and without making it explicitly clear, you might get people objecting to what is an obviously true statement purely because of a terminology mismatch.
> You are stuck with the default apps. Want to use Gmail or Outlook? Chrome? Google Maps or Nokia Maps? Too bad.

I'm confused. What do you mean by this?

It's wonderful how many straw men reside in discussions of anarchism. I have, nowhere, suggested "majoritarianism" (that was a bear to spell on my phone, which wanted to correct it to "authoritarianism").
I think you're vastly and grossly underestimating how multiple sclerosis impacts your nervous system if you think that a placebo effect making you "feel better" will give you the ability to walk again.

It's actually a little stunning, reading your position on this.
So either the Danish implemented regulations they didn't actually need to implement or the Germans are not following the regulations

Need to implement? There still is such a thing - albeit not much of it - as independent national legislation, even in these nightmarish sunsetting years of the EU.

It is kind of a cliche by now but so are the questions we have been asking Apple and demands we have been making to the company over the years.

I am no sales and marketing expert but at some basic level, it comes to me that Apple probably doesn't innovate (in a way - relatively; esp. when compared with innovations in Android phone market and in ridiculously low cost phones at that) because it doesn't have to. Apple knows that it has a userbase that would keep buying its phones (in some cases as long as close to 7 years) even though it was so lacking in innovation and still kept charging the awe-tax.

No, I am sure you are not the only bored iPhone user. I have a friend who has owned every iPhone (one from each release - he had a 6s but still bought SE and then sold it) since the first iPhone and never stopped whining about it but still says, when I ask why he keeps buying, "because it's an iPhone and it has a 'feel'".
>Saying "oh hey try ctrl f on that documentation page you looked at" would be a valuable response, saying that asking the question is dumb isn't a positive contribution and is likely to make the asker defensive and unlikely to really learn from the experience.

> it governs the Feds, not the people.

No, it governs (or claims to govern) everybody within the territory of the United States. It says it is the supreme law of the land. Its provisions defining the structure of the Federal government also define what the Federal government is allowed to do to govern the people.
Curious (and somewhat OT), do you actually feel intoxicated after a single beer over dinner?
I'm willing to sacrifice it to cram more into valuable space in the phone (which is why this is being done anyway).
You mean like what happened to Wikipedia?
I think the whole point is being very close to whatever is attractive in Manhattan, at a price of both serious rent and small area. A very similar situation there is in Tokyo: young professionals rent microscopic apartments close to work and the downtown founts of intense social life, and only use them as sleeping pads.

Otherwise, Brooklyn and Queens offer much more cost-effective, well-connected, entirely urban neighborhoods, maybe not as dense but still perfectly walkable, bikable, and equipped with subway. The cost is, of course, 20-40 more minutes to/from Manhattan.
As the first such units to come onto the markets, these units are unfortunately priced as a luxury, because of their uniqueness. They thus definitely don't make sense for people who are just looking for value for their money, which is probably most people. If the market had thousands of units like this then you would see them priced below the $2,500 450-500 sqft units as they should be, but until then, the larger units will be the sensible choice.
Yeah, I was shocked by the price. You're paying roughly normal Manhattan studio apartment rent for half the square footage. I don't get it.
I currently live in Toronto, but I didn't buy a house. My monthly expenses would be nearly 30% higher for a morgage and condo fees for the place I'm renting now. I rather invest that in a business.

As for people living on the street. According to wikipedia the estimated homeless population in San Fransisco is between 7000 and 10000. The estimated number in Toronto is 5,253 (source: Toronto.ca), but since Toronto has 3.5 times the population, this means that the homeless population is at least 5 times bigger.
The thing about the way the human mind works is that you often can't find out what would be most rewarding, or why you are acting as your are, good or bad, unless you spend some quiet time slowly paying attention to your unclear feelings and various experiences.

Meditation can help a great deal with this, ditto keeping a journal. So can engaging in artistic expression such painting or writing poetry. Ditto reading great thinkers or novelists. I particularly like the focusing method developed by the philosopher and psychologist Eugene Gendlin.

You have to understand, social media corporations don't want you to know what you really want, because it often would turn out to be something other than what they are selling. So they keep you distracted with mental candy and an unending worry that you are missing something important.
I'm still incredulous if I'm being honest. Even though I know this.
To date, this has been offset by the fact that iOS devices have much longer average lives than Android devices, and are routinely resold one or more times.
Let's acknowledge the difference between Trademark and Copyright. Is it any less senseless?
That was Marvin's comment, and I'm quite sure that he meant it literally, i.e. not as a comment on either science or philosophy, but on "most philosophy".
Ah, the old practice of using a word that comes from French to give some nuance when a Germanic word once worked. The Miriam-Webster dictionary says SonicSoul’s usage was correct, meaning “in a manner to cause death,” but now is archaic.
> If you want to opt out of a society, wonderful.

The Constitution is not the same as society, and saying that the Constitution has no inherent authority or obligation is not the same as opting out of society. In fact, the unthinking conflation of these two concepts (the Constitution and society) is exactly the sort of thing this essay was intended to argue against.
> Sure, in an ideal world where we had full knowledge of human biology and an ability to edit the brain, we'd treat gender dysphoria simply by making people believe they were the "correct" gender. But lacking that ability, we do the next best thing possible that we can do.

Why are you more keen to edit the brain than the body? If I can switch around your body parts to make you feel more comfortable, that seems less invasive than surgery or drugs which make you think different thoughts - especially when those thoughts are a core part of your personality (your sexual identity) and are only pathological within the context of the body you were born with.
I don't have the data to measure this definitively across all price points, but as for the high end, New York City has 76 Michelin Star restaurants for 2016, while Toronto has 5.

Interesting. Just got back from watching this tonight and thought it was great. I think people watching this will certainly need to have a understanding of the lore, names, and landscapes presented to really enjoy the movie, however.
In the book you call gamblers the godfathers of probability theory, noting that it’s a newer area of mathematics than we might expect.

Well, Cardano was a bit than a physcian who happened to be a gambler ("Often considered to be the greatest mathematician of the Renaissance, Cardano was one of the key figures in the foundation of probability and the earliest introducer of the binomial coefficients and the binomial theorem in the western world. He wrote more than 200 works on science."). [1]

It is still interesting that probability is newer than other branches of math. But it still dates back to the 15th century. It's more interesting that statistics is far newer, becoming codified in the early 20th century.

It's worth noting that most of mathematics was put on rigorous basis between the late 19th century (Cantor and Hilbert) and the early 20th century (Goedel, etc) but probability had to wait for Kolmogorov and friends a few years later.

And statistics as it exists now is not considered a branch of mathematics but its own science. Whether statistics has a rigorous basis or is inherently a series of "rules of thumb" is an open debate (often between Bayesians and Frequentests, for example).

I agree that Theranos's leadership belongs in jail.

But I think it's worth reflecting a bit on how much our community created and benefits from the tech-genius hype cycle that they exploited. On how much we have supported a mythos that our cutting-edge innovations can't be judged by existing stick-in-the-mud regulators.

I'm not saying that those are entirely bad things. But it's worth remembering that Theranos couldn't have happened without Silicon Valley. If we want to keep the latitude we've been given, maybe should be more vigorous about policing the people making use of it.
Just making sure, my point was not "I don't want to be around these people". My point was that I don't want to partake in a system which such a big income-gap.

In the Netherlands (where I come from) the average saleries for programmers are even lower, but in return you get a pretty great social system and a much saner work/life balance.
Really? That surprises me.

AFAICT Intel's desktop RAID tech literally just remaps PCI vendor and device ids (which is a wee bit more complicated with NVMe / AHCI over SATA Express). The boot process was an option ROM and is presumably now baked into UEFI. The driver does the rest.

I can imagine that a couple bits in ME tell the UEFI blob and the driver which feature set to enable. Is there more?
How do you organize? Do you keep a notebook for each project? Do you use an index?

Do you start off with a todo list for you projects? Or do you use something like trello for that?

For me, most of my projects aren't large projects. They're lots of little ones. Bug fixes, feature add-ons, website extensions... those kind of things. I can be juggling 20-30 "projects" through-out the year and only need 1-4 pages for each one. Whenever I tried to keep a notebook I quickly get un-organized and lose energy for keeping it up.

I'm starting to think a 3 ring binder might fit my needs better. Do you ever use one of those?
Scripts enabled required article, not bothering to read.

Similarly, Hollywood in general has shown me every other time that I've given 'film adaptation of X' in my life that the original form was better. Were I interested in the story of WoW I suppose the best form to experience it in would be in the actual game (I've heard players of that game admit that parts of it are better left un-played and that they are this fine with the now more rapid ascent to newer content in the game).
"wash the car" , "feed the cat" results in

I visited Leipzig and quite liked it. It has a lot of Bach-related things as he worked most of his life and died there.
While Redux is much better than early Flux implementations, I feel that both have the same issues: quite a lot of boilerplate, scattered logic and confusion around best practices. Don't get me wrong, I really like Redux but I feel that most of the time I'm writing either boilerplate code or trying to decide how to structure my actions and reducers. Also combining actions/reducers with components isn't particularly easy given that you still need to combine reducers into one state. Not to talk about cherry picking parts of state into props and then working with reselect to cache values or normalize API responses...

Oh sorry, I think I had something that I needed to let out :)

Anyway, recently I discovered MobX[1] which, aside from the bad name, is amazing. It's pretty flexible and has very small API surface but compared to Redux it just gets out of the way. Granted, there's a lot of hidden logic which feels like magic but in the end it allows me to build apps way faster while still producing performant code. I have moved few projects from Redux to Mobx and it's mainly removing code and files and bundling mobx stores with components. At work I been able to explain it to coworkers in two minutes where as it has taken hours or days for people to understand Redux. I highly recommend checking out the React+MobX tutorial[2] and give it a go even though it's not the hot thing of the week just yet :)

"I switched back from Android for the 6s because I was tired of fragmentation and terrible battery life. "

I can relate. I had some many fragmentation problems with android that I said I'm done with it, then I tried Iphone. However, I returned my iphone before my trial period expired. I just couldn't sacrifice the android UI flow, multitasking ease of use, and a open ecosystem.

So I ended up getting the Note 3 when it first came out . That was like 3 years ago and I still have the same phone without any issues. My batters is now finally starting to give out and is only lasting about 6-8 hrs with use. However a new battery is only like 7 bucks on amazon.

I think 2 things happened that improved my fragmentation issue with android. Android itself has matured but more importantly I stopped all the automatic updates from my carrier and apps.

I observed with my previous android devices that once a new phone came out all the sudden my phone became slow as molasses . I'm under the opinion with nothing to back it up with, other than my observations is that the carrier (atleast ATT) updates the phone and purposely degrades performances with newer apps and updates to get you to buy a new one.

I don't think this is possible on the iphones because I don't believe that the carrier is allowed to bastardize it like android but I could be wrong? However that has been my observation and the one advantage I see for ios.

You're not going to find many defenders of Theranos at this point, but that doesn't mean this isn't a bad comment to post to HN. We ask users here to post reflective comments, not ones that try to maximize fury—no matter how right you are or how angry you feel. The fact that you end your comment with a cheap slur about "more civilized countries" is indicative.
On the other hand, iOS is the only platform which has a default keyboard that lets me use typographically appropriate characters, such as actual smart quotes (“” ’), real ellipsis (…), and the correct hyphens (- – —).

This has been true since at least iOS 5.
My point was more about the attitude toward beginners than the actual accessibility of the information, but you're right that Python's docs could be more user-friendly.
Initially thought this was an argument against meta-programming till I saw the source. I got very defensive for no reason. |D
I despise Gawker.

But I despise barratry and maintenance even more, and believe that relaxing restrictions against them is a major failure of modern American jurisprudence.
Same goes for physical infrastructure, BTW. If your infrastructure is old and you fear some bridges may collapse, you inspect them all. You rebuild the crumbling ones and strengthen those with cracks. What you don't do is rebuild all the bridges in the country. That's not only wasteful and comes at the expense of new bridges you could have built, but may end up increasing the danger in some cases, rather than decreasing it.

I would say this is more like a new building material coming along which allows infrastructure to be built that results in a safer construct. No, you don't want to rebuild everything at once, and maybe you never want to rebuild everything, but sometimes old but serviceable things may be considered for replacement because not only can it be made safeer, but there may be other benefits at the same time (less room, more likely to withstand 1 in X type natural disasters, etc.).

Additionally, I never took the "rewrite everything" camp, as presented here, to really mean "everything" as much as to mean "a stack from the bottom up so there are rust versions to use". Java seems has a lot of this, by virtue of being a contained system that doesn't like to share it's memory, so there are Java versions of just about everything. Rust can use C with zero cost runtime cost, I think people just want to make it so that rust must use C for certain things.

"In recent weeks, Walgreens also was named as a co-defendant in one of three civil lawsuits filed by consumers against Theranos. The suits, which seek class-action status, allege that Theranos misled the public about the nature and accuracy of its blood-testing technology."

Walgreens had an official partnership, including an investment of $50m, into Theranos.

If there is actual consumer damage shown its Walgreens that's going to find themselves writing checks to tort classes and attorneys.

In the entire WSJ expose it sounded like Walgreens management was as snowed-over as the rest of us with regard to Theranos' "technology" but it's crazy that they didn't do more relatively simple due diligence given their exposure
Wrong. Barratry and maintenance have been frowned upon for centuries for good reason.

Relaxing restrictions against them was a big mistake, IMHO.
I'm using wit.ai as well, and overall it's working well for me.

But, the new story-based functionality is something I still haven't been able to get comfortable with -- and it still feels very early. So, that part I'm still implementing myself.

And yes, I too wish they they would allow you to download your logs/model. Bugs me that they don't do that (and one of the reasons I'm also looking at api.ai).
This.

I work in the payment processing industry and I am just disgusted in the way everyone operates (particularly Visa / MC). Low security, trying to push liability, etc. All of this to shave money off of the transactions at just about every step of the way.

Honestly I'd rather just do what I did when I first lived in SF and NYC: get a bigger space with a couple people. For me, having a spacious social area and respectably sized bedroom trumps having complete and utter privacy.
That my issue with iOS. With my android it simply maps like a local drive on my pc and I can drop and drag files just as easily as if it was my hdd.

I don't have to use crappy proprietary sofware like itunes or be locked into their ecosystem and pay monthly subscriptions to use icloud.
