Jobs built a factory. The NeXT computer was made there and the factory was reportedly state-of-the-art.

Of course Jobs is gone but I would guess there are others still at Apple that were involved so that it might not be totally new to them.

Not even. Since 2008 the major Democratic campaigns have been highly professionalized, on the tech side. Which doesn't mean they're immune to an attack, by any stretch. But if you think the upper tiers of these campaigns are run like scaled-up versions of their field offices... you need to think again.

They were both right at the time. It wasn't until a few years later that the iPhone was actually competitive. It was really Android (and apps) that changed mobile. None of the companies with great OS teams (Nokia, Blackberry, Palm, Ericsson etc.) could compete with free. All the companies that are successful today are close to the hardware supply chain.

> IPv6 is in widespread use. IPv6 is not "the future". It's the present. I have services in production where >30% of users access the service over v6. Use is growing. IPv6-only mobile operators are also now a thing.

That's... great, and I'm glad there's progress being made somewhere, but I don't think it's fair to say it's "the present". It's on its way.

My ISP has rolled out FttH across a wide area but still only offers IPv6 on business buildouts. Even if they offered IPv6 to general customers, they still have a ton of home gateway devices out there that don't support any IPv6 at all. The other ISPs don't offer it or have any external roadmap either. I don't think this situation is all that unusual or unique - it's just not something that the people paying the bills are clamouring for and it's a long road from where we are to significant penetration.

Oh, and EC2 still doesn't support IPv6 on anything but their load balancers. What portion of the market and traffic do you think they make up?
A personal CRM of sorts. I want to use it to manage my family/social/colleague relationships.

Little things like noting spouses names and children's names, writing notes about encounters we have and something they mention that could be good to bring up next time, setting reminders - e.g. give X a call about Y, adding birthdays (and getting reminded ahead of time), preferred coffee/beverage. etc.

But the developer didn't place anything inside the store. They merely advertised that their app will function in a specific way at certain locations. The terminology confuses us with its use of 'a pokestop in a store'.

It's still a perverse situation where you can incentivise such behaviour, but its no different from somebody posting a challenge online stating they would send money to the first 10 people at a location.

The rest of academia has agreed on a set of methodologies and premises? No wonder we feel left out!

>increasingly ornate innate machinery is needed to explain how kids arrive at the 'right' grammar

This is too vague to respond to. But theories do tend to get more complex as we learn more, since there's more data to account for.

>where the structural representations were never great at predicting processing difficulty, nor implementable in a machine.

Which structural representations assumed by (say) GB theory are not implementable in a machine?

>he is IMHO pretty wrong in thinking that this latent structure can't be learned (e.g. inferring a probabilistic context-free grammar).

Chomsky always agreed that it was possible to learn context-free grammars via statistical methods. That's why he placed such a great emphasis in the 60s on showing that context-free grammars are not a suitable model for natural language.

Your last paragraph is fairly astonishing, insofar as it admits that generative linguistics has obtained lots of interesting results which cannot be characterized in "modern" terms. That sounds like a pretty strong indication that generative linguistics has got something right!

Why did Dostoevsky become a great writer? 10 years of hard labor.
What conclusion do I draw? We must incarcerate.
After being in jail for three, four or five years, a Dostoevsky will appear...

The history of art and culture is developed by jail or by sexual minorities.
We utilize neither today, therefore we don't have any great cultural creators.

> 8) Innovation is not slow, linear or incremental — but the government doesn’t realize that.

Public support for new tech sometimes moves slowly.

Politicians' heads are on the chopping block for anything the public feels they do wrong. One result of that can be slower support of new technology.

California in World War II: The Shelling of Ellwood
Just moved into NYC myself actually. I'm pretty sure that if some disaster knocked out all transportation, including food delivery trucking, then at least 95% of the whole east coast urban area would be dead in a month. Even getting out isn't good enough, because millions of others will be trying to get out at the same time. You'd have to already be out before it happens.

I don't think that knowing which plants are edible will help much either. You'd also have to somehow not die from robbery, disease, etc, and be able to protect your "garden" from millions of desperate starving people who will probably put anything green in their mouths no matter the real nutritional value just because they're desperate. Don't underestimate what a parent will do when they watch their kids starve to death.

I don't think owning guns will help much in such a dense urban area. There's just too many people. Even if you have effectively unlimited ammo and a very defensible position, you'd probably still get overwhelmed in short order. Even if you don't actually have much of anything, people will assume that anyone with that much protective firepower must have a lot of stuff to protect. Maybe if you're already set up to be a warlord king with a few hundred people under your command. That you can feed somehow, and also have the ammo and position for.

IMHO, anyone who really thinks that anything like that is going to happen should just move to rural Montana or something now and get started with the farming and such. I moved here, so you can guess what I think.

To Reduce Bias, Some Police Departments Are Rethinking Traffic Stops
Dr. Sutherland and others have no quarrel with Luca’s being traced back to deep sea vents. But that does not mean life originated there, they say. Life could have originated anywhere and later been confined to a deep sea environment because of some catastrophic event like the Late Heavy Bombardment, which occurred 4 billion to 3.8 billion years ago. This was a rain of meteorites that crashed into Earth with such force that the oceans were boiled off into an incandescent mist.

Kind of like Seveneves... If this hypothetical were true, we'd be at kind of a dead end, wouldn't we? Any information we'd have about pre-Luca life would either be represented somehow in Luca, or it would be completely gone.

While I don't know much about CS:GO, you seem to be incredibly ignorant and/or misled on the state of DotA and TF2.
To be fair, calling them "fondle-slabs" can't be helping your argument.
Agreed. When I hear people talk about how great they think it would be to work in a flat org, they always seem to think that it means they will exist in a meritocracy free of politics where they can use their own judgement about what to do and how to do it. I don't see how it could be anything but the exact opposite of that in every respect, and anecdotally that seems to be the case.
Platform wars: the final score
Hi! Some of the dietary preferences can't be combined because we don't have enough recipes to support the combination (at least not yet!). We're working on batch cooking, so that should help. Currently, it takes hacks to achieve that kind of thing (like adding more family members, e.g., Daniel, Daniel Leftovers, and Daniel Leftovers 2). If you have a slow cooker, you could select that in the appliances section and then just make sure that under time constraints, you select "more than 50 minutes" for dinners. Slow cooker recipes scale up well if you do that multiple family members trick. I hope that helps!

>The car will fill up with people on the same route for cost savings.

Yuk. No thanks.
Probably, but there's a difference between plastering a trademark you don't own over your product and telling people "there is a McDonalds restaurant 500m away from you here that looks like this and if you go within ~10m of it, you can get some pokeballs". Seriously, the range from which you can interact with the bloody things is huge.
Yup. Incidentally this is exactly the same effect that makes model selection within a portfolio challenging. Two worthwhile reads on that front: the multiple comparison problem [1] and regression towards the mean [2].

Regardless of your objective - hosting a contest like this or allocating to individual institutions and strategies - you'll always face this problem. Good allocation decisions are tactical, taking both the logic of the strategy and the broader portfolio into account. Bad allocation decisions chase returns.

> This is a pretty sanctimonious article, again attempting to push the agenda that all new technology is good technology, and all resistors are luddites.

Agreed. This is not the best way to argue for acceptance of new tech. I believe it would have the opposite effect.

Innovators should consider themselves teachers. The more unexpected the tech, the more the public will need to be taught. And, open discussion is part of teaching. Teachers can learn too.

>> Uber offers a prime case study. The ride-sharing service exploded in popularity and rapidly expanded to cities around the world, sparking an outcry from taxicab commissions the world over. In most cases, the government’s response was slow and reactionary. “That’s because they think about [innovation] in a slow and linear way. That’s how it’s been in the past; that’s not the case anymore,”

I disagree the government response was reactionary. Constituents are losing their livelihoods. They went to the government and complained. It is understandable that the government would react on their behalf and that the unrolling of some tech would be more gradual. It is the job of the government to represent the people. If they don't do that they are voted out.
I suspect that's the biggest reason - lawyers are easy to throw at problems, getting answers from them is hard, especially with settlements.

What I feel like everyone is missing is that an Apple Car makes sense for the same reason the iPhone made sense in 2007:

The existing technology really blows, and Apple can make a significant contribution.

Remember what "smartphones" looked like before the iPhone? No touch screens, physical keyboards, tiny screens, almost no native web browsing.

Now imagine what Apple could do to the inside of your car with that kind of thinking in mind, and $80,000.

Edit: I forgot one of the biggest problems with the old smartphones is they were ugly as sin, which is also true of modern cars.
450K for a house seems cheap. In the GTA, you won't even get a townhouse for that much. A townhome (with monthly fees) probably goes for over 650K :'( I don't understand it.
If I'm trying to follow my own advice, I suppose now is the time where I'm supposed to smile, tell you to do your best and offer you support if you run into trouble :-).

It's true that some people are really excellent at listening to people and incorporating feedback. I don't really know if those people find that they lack opportunities for feedback.

Just to quote you:

> whosoever wants to improve themselves they listen to the feedback given to them and who so doesn't its useless to them. So if someone really needs it there has to be a mechanism to be given to it.

If you start with this assumption, then there is no need to ask your question ("Do we really need performance feedback?"), because you have assumed your answer. I think you know that :-) Forgive me for what will seem like going off on a tangent, but let me tell you a quick story about when I was teaching.

I taught English as a foreign language to Japanese high school students. Their text book was terrible and I avoided it, but one section was not too bad. I asked the students to bring in their text book the next day. I spoke English, but it was simple English that they all knew and everyone seemed to understand.

The next day, not a single person brought their text book. I asked them if they remembered me asking about it. Out of 30 people, not one person remembered me saying anything at all. Luckily, another teacher was in the room when I had asked, so I could verify that it wasn't just me going crazy. I had asked them, and not one of the students remembered the event at all.

You might think (as I did) that at the very least the students might remember me saying something that they didn't understand at the end of class. As it turns out, that's not the way memory works. If you don't understand something, or if your reject it in some way, you are likely not to remember that the event happened at all!

In the same way, many people complain that they never get feedback. They feel that this is the reason that they can not improve. If only someone would give them feedback! However, I think it is likely that when people are poor at receiving feedback, their brains filter out the events leading them to believe that the fault lies with others. To be honest, I believe that this happens with many other things as well ;-)

My personal suspicion is that by providing another feedback mechanism, you may be serving a small audience which is already well served by traditional means. Those people who react well to feedback do not seem to have trouble cultivating it, in my experience. People who reject feedback think that it is rare because they don't internalise it. They are probably the much bigger market, but they are not a market that will benefit from more feedback. If it were me, I think I might try to turn my mind to trying to find out what these people need.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

This level of defeatism is the exact reason I got into the markets algo trading.

People like you stay out.

More to the point, just because a genius mathematician and code breaker started a hedge fund it doesn't at all push out any of the little guys. The market is so large he can't possibly be trading all instruments at once, and "scaling" is a problem for huge hedge funds. Especially ones that have to answer to their shareholders. Even though this is a huge fund, it is highly inflexible.

What you're saying is akin to "Google already does email and they're loaded with geniuses, what makes you think you have an edge over that?"
I was responding to this original assertion:

> once we start thinking that one is better than the other, we get hierarchy, and we get superiority

...with a rebuttal that argues against drawing that conclusion on the basis that uncomfortable discoveries do not imply a hierarchy.

In other words -- and note how absurd this is -- you're saying that my position, which is that differences need not and should not imply a hierarchy, implies not only that I do think there is a hierarchy, but that it's a hierarchy with whites on top.

You drew the exact opposite conclusion from very plain words.

Bluntly: the game you're playing -- you're a white supremacist until you say otherwise! -- is gross. I've said absolutely nothing to imply that I am one. (Again, I actually said exactly the opposite.) Your attempt to hold me hostage is absurd.

And before you respond that I still haven't denied it: Knock it off. This is not how adults disagree.
>... while steam continues to be a mediocre at best experience.

Steam Chat exemplifies this.

Despite the fact it's been around for 12 years, there's no file-based logging capability. When adding mobile clients into the mix, message delivery becomes abysmal. As of nearly a year ago, one rather infuriating bug was introduced that causes chat buffers to sometimes truncate at random.

Add to this a privacy policy[0] that considers none of your private communications to be private:

"Any information that is disclosed in chat, forums or bulletin boards should be considered public information,"

The fact Steam is well north of 100M active users, and yet they allow certain critical aspects of their platform to not only retain their abysmal quality, but even regress—is simply mind boggling.

I don't have enough information to place the blame squarely at the feet of Valve's flat organizational hierarchy, but it seems likely that it's a contributing factor.

Show HN: Merica Match – we made a game about the American presidential election
Hi, I'm Mark Cooke, CEO of Shiny Shoe and project lead on Merica Match. Our goal with Merica Match was to do a Colbert-esuqe lampooning of the election within the context of what we believe is a high quality casual match-3. In the game players can choose from Trump, Clinton, Sanders, and Cruz as they try to help their favorite candidate match their way to the White House. Merica Match is a re-imagining of one of our previous games with a new theme so we had some existing retention/monetization data to give us at least a little confidence that players would like the game and that it could be a viable addition to our portfolio.

While I wish we had released the game six months ago when many more candidates were in the pool, no Pokemon Go hoovering up mindshare, and even more political shenanigans to make fun of I'm glad we got this out in time for the conventions. Like most small studios launching a mobile game we're struggling for visibility and don't have a huge UA budget. If anyone has any feedback on the game I'd love to hear it. I can also answer any questions about development or design decisions.
