I personally would expect the back button to go back one slide, and would argue the opposite: that having the back button skip all the way to the previous web page is unintuitive and not "internet friendly". I mean, imagine if this slide deck were implemented using normal links: the fact that they are using some JavaScript-oriented feature to change the hash instead of changing the path shouldn't change the functionality, and implementing this without JavaScript would make it more clear that this is conceptually a page transition.

wat. I just checked, I have Location Services set to 'Never' on Dropbox and it uploads files fine.
I should say, Ben, thank you for coming out in public and sharing your team's perspective. Your users are angry—and I think rightly so—but it does help that we are being told why it was done, that it was merely poor judgement rather than deliberate misbehavior, and that you are working to make the Dropbox client a more responsible citizen. Is it as good as not having done it in the first place? No. But it's much better than radio silence.
... which is kind of annoying if you sleep on top of one. Endless tocking away on a hot summer night where you can't sleep is kind of like water drip torture.
I found it very useful and really liked it, just these problems were so irritating I dropped it again. I'm hoping you can fix this, because I have trouble with reading HN on a browser, with its tiny font size.

I suspect you've got a bug with the deep link feature because other apps only show this menu one time. Yours shows it over and over.

While we're talking, I also found the UI rather busy with stuff that seems unnecessary. Half the fun with HN is its simplicity. If you ever get the urge, think about doing an Apple and removing stuff that people don't use.

Nice work, anyhow, and thanks for that. Consider making a paid version of the app with no differences, except you get some money back from it.
I don't like the doubled arrow and the separate button.

In germany things are worse though: sometimes no feedback at all, feels like a hard cover plastic without any feedback at all. It seems to register touch (some do have a "please wait" lighting up when you touch it).

For the blind there is a nub hidden underneath. It has an embossed arrow on it and because of its horizontal orientation it can point precisely to the right direction. It vibrates when it's safe to cross. However this is the place that stays wet the longest after rain and where people smear their chewing gum and the cleaning personal doesn't even see it. I still enjoy the buttons, so I don'- have to focus on the lights all the time.

edit: when you don't know about the nub for the blind, there is no arrow indication at all. When standing on an isle in the middle of a street and there are two buttons on one pole opposed to each other, I never knew which to press: the one facing where I want to go, or the one facing me while I face where I want to go (I think it's the latter)

The whole pooint of having the word "Champagne" is to distinguish the product of a particular geographical region ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champagne_(province) ), in contrast to similar products on the ground that the value add is in the methods and traditions formed over time in that region and different in other regions.
Most people swear they notice the difference, but eh. The point still stands in our culture of valueing specific products or methodologies. There's nothing inherently hard in distinguishing productors who're in the business since several generations from the new farm (who might be of equal or superior quality) in $foreignplace who's trying to cash in on the name.

One particular example a bit tangential to the original thread: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laguiole_knife

Many times, engineers are like mathematicians - they pursue and solve a problem irrespective of whether it has practical applications (in engineers' case it might not even be a problem per se). Until I see some insight into this aspect of smartphones from the design guys, I'll stick to this reasoning.
But how would you go forward in the first place? Not with the "Forward" button, because you haven't visited the page yet.

Instead, you press "Right" or "PgDn" or what have you. So I would expect the converse button ("Left" or "PgUp") to go back a slide as well (which it presumably does).

That leaves the browser's Back button to go back to the previous web page.

Everybody's happy!

The correct design is to create it such that it serves the unsighted without enticing the sighted to mistake it for a button and touch it for a function it does not perform.

For data integrity and performance I would not necessarily use an ORM, which I used for this project as it was a small backend, rapidly developed to satisfy a business need. However, I think Django can easily handle complex front-ends, data integrity etc - it simply depends on your design choices and especially your data store.

Not sure if this is how they do it, but OS X has another option (which is in fact recommended by Apple for all tasks needing elevated permissions): installation of a privileged helper tool.[1] The helper tool communicates with the main app via IPC, ideally such that the only things the app can ask are precisely the things it's supposed to do (e.g. the helper will only sneak in accessibility for the dropbox app, and nobody else). The helper tool removes a lot of the surface area for security holes, assuming the IPC protocol is well written (not something like "here's this string, run it as a shell command with root privileges).

"cross pedestrian inhibit"

As the are in affect two different crossing, with a stagger between them. The guidance is to avoid a pedestrian having to wait a whole cycle in the middle or tempted to rush both parts. One cycle wait, breaks down a bit for heavy used crossing. But the cycle time should be lower, if ped flow are up.

In an ideal situation, you could set the order of each part to be tidal - if near for example a station exit.
My comment is based on real life experience on how companies of comparable size handle their security, specially in outsourced projects.
These reliances usually aren't explicit, they just happen to work that way and it can be very hard to tease out the dependency unless you have a way to easily screw with iteration order.

Pretty much any unspecified but (because of implementation) reliable ordering will eventually end up with code relying on it, usually implicitly, e.g. some Go code broke in 1.5 (and the release notes noted it explicitly) when scheduling order changed[0] despite it always having been undefined. In fact, specifically to catch this kind of hidden dependencies the Go developers added limited scheduling randomisation to the race detection mode.

[0] from definition-ordering to last-definition-bias e.g. if you launched 3 goroutines 1, 2 and 3, in 1.4 the scheduler would just run them in that order, in 1.5 it would run 3 first followed by 1 and 2.
Uncharted 4 has good graphics.

But some of the trees in certain levels are completely 2D bitmaps even in very near to the player areas. (eg the level after you emerge with the submarine to the surface) That is the only thing that could have been done better. And Tomb Raider 2013 and Tomb Raider 2016 already copied Uncharted gameplay in a very carbon copy way, but added some innovations. So if there will ever be a Uncharted 5, it will be harder than before without competition.
Sure, incremental changes have been made to the new Tacoma, and you can argue "nothing has been carried over". But there is nothing revolutionary, on the same scale as a car not even having a steering wheel.

Because that's what you're talking about, steering wheel-less autonomous cars. It surely isn't plain to see that they will be safer. We've already seen the first fatality on Autopilot. And I, for one, don't think these will be in the hands of consumers for at least another decade or two. Simply because of costs and liability.
Some people want to live their own lives and not be dependent on "gifts" from someone else.
Each level in the game gave you clear directions, an entertaining backstory, and taught you the concepts necessary to think about the problem.

All three things turn what would be a boring, real-world project into a game, where only the pleasant part is left for you to do. At least for the kind of people they were looking for.
Yeah, my pictures will only be seen by me and my circle of trust.

Dropbox responds to accusations its Mac desktop client hacks OS X security
Haven't used duckduckgo much, so thanks for the search term (too busy trying to get bing rewards points haha). In any case, I found the following interesting tidbit from http://apa.org/monitor/oct01/multitask.aspx

While the JEP study seems to indicate that multitasking isn't very efficient, its findings aren't definitive, according to another study in Psychological Science (Vol. 12, No. 2) by Eric H. Shumacher, PhD, of the University of California, Berkeley, and colleagues. That study found that, under special circumstances, people can do two different tasks at once without much interference--particularly if the tasks are well-practiced and do not physically conflict with each other.
"These latter results raise a further question--what causes you to get interference between tasks in some cases but not others?" asks Meyer, a co-author on both studies. "This is a challenging question and one that needs to be answered carefully in order to tell the full story about multitasking and executive control."

Another point is, how fast do you have to switch the tasks to consider it "multitasking." E.g. do you have to switch on a 1-second interval? I would guess that would be much less efficient than something like, grading some papers while waiting for code to compile, which may take a minute to compile/ run some test, and then go back to coding, repeat- I would call that multi-tasking, and would almost guess that would be "more" efficient than actually just doing the coding task or the grading task separately, since it takes advantage of removing useless time.

Your hyperbole really bothers me here.

Why doesn't YCombinator just fix the mobile style sheet for the website?

It's pretty clear the site is terrible on mobile, and it's not a hard thing to improve. Make the font bigger, and (especially) make the buttons much, much bigger (or further apart).

Actually - why don't they fix that on the desktop version? Fitt's law and all that.
Denuvo copy protection & DRM is the successor of SecoROM is from Sony DADC Austria (now a separate company, but you get the idea). Sony DADC is also the company who presses the DVD and BlueRay disks for most other companies.

I avoid it as there are rumours it is trashing your SSD/disk with many many littles writes. And the infamous Sony root kit... And all SecoROM games are broken on newer Windows versions - the gamers "love" that. Everyone should avoid to buy titles with Denuvo and it will go away by itself - as it worked with DRM music, nowadays we have non-DRM MP3 music, that's great and he end consumer won.

never dismiss the power of spin:

>Tesla says Autopilot has been used for more than 130 million miles, noting that, on average, a fatality occurs every 94 million miles in the US and every 60 million miles worldwide. The NHTSA investigation, Tesla says, is a "preliminary evaluation" to determine if the Autopilot system was working properly, which can be a precursor to a safety action like a recall.

so according to this, autopilot is already safer than the "average" driver.

Good question. It's hard to say.

Well, they can autoconfirm Keychain prompts with simulated keyboard events (and access all the keychain data in general), for one. This is something non-accessibility apps can't do after some update.

Keylogger can't steal your password, if it's in keychain, even though it knows your root password. But I guess now it'll add itself into accessibility, so… waiting for Sierra :)

For some reason I know a bit about Norwegian education and engineering degrees especially. ;-)

The degree I'm talking about is the Norwegian "høgskoleingeniør" which typically gives you a Bachelors degree, "sivilingeniør" is typically a Masters study. The nurse study also gives you a Bachelors degree in Norway (and can be used as a foundation for the midwife study which typically gives a masters degree as well IIRC.)

On the contrary, there are a large number of examples from e.g. South African shanty towns that if people living in tiny metal shacks with dirt floors get a bit more disposable income, many prefer to stay where they are and buy satellite TV and the latest iPhone rather than save that money to try and move to a better place.
Show HN: Sqlm a minimalist sql builder for Golang
I believe it was staged by Teller, and he gives you enough context in his article to figure it out:

> "I wonder," he said, "how many Enoch Soameses will show up." At the time, I thought he was merely musing. Later I understood. He was giving me a homework assignment.

And then he closes the article:

> D. G. "Rosey" Rosenbaum didn't come to the Reading Room; he no longer corrects homework assignments. He was buried seven years ago, dressed in a smart charcoal suit, with a blood-red vest and his pince-nez, a rose in his lapel. The mourners said there was a sly smile on his face.

Teller's homework assignment was to stage Enoch's appearance and thus close the literary loop that Max Beerbohm left open. Teller's teacher was wondering how many other people would show up to do the same thing.

By closing his article by mentioning his teacher's death, Teller is letting us know that this performance was an homage to someone he greatly respected.

It was about two years ago. I removed the app, never looked back. But recently came across a news that Dropbox got hacked and all passwords were captured and leaked. At the same time I received an email from them, not mentioning that (as far as I remember) but what they mentioned they will delete my account if I don't login in the next x weeks. It seems Dropbox had its peak, and it's going down-hill from there -except they do an IPO or find a someone to sell (maybe they already do just that).

> has among the lowest social mobility of developed nations

The US also already has among the highest median income of any developed nation, and nearly the highest median disposable income. The US also has a higher median household net worth than either Germany or Sweden. That would inherently make it more difficult for the US to keep pushing the boulder up the hill.

Further, in the US more people are moving up out of the middle class and into the higher income brackets, than are moving down and out of it. That has been true for 40 years running now. Given the immense scale, income and wealth involved in that result, it's a staggering accomplishment.

I think that theoretical physics is an example of confusing map with the territory. Just because you can work out some mathematical mumbo-jumbo does not necessarily mean that it has any connection to reality.

This applies especially well to string theory which is just layers of pointless mathematics, each layer trying to make up for obvious deficiencies of lower layers.
Scheme fits the common definition of a functional language, even if it's not pure in the same way as Haskell. Especially since idiomatic Scheme uses pure functions and recursion (as opposed to idiomatic CL which is a lot more imperative).
I wrote a better explanation for why neural nets work here: http://houshalter.tumblr.com/post/120134087595/approximating...

The answer is that neural networks are a somewhat crude approximation of Solomonoff induction. Solomonoff induction is an ideal, perfect machine learning method. It only assumes that the universe is a random computer program, and tries to infer which one.

That's exactly the point. The satellite TV is cost-effective, high-value entertainment. The iPhone is a supercomputer that offers information and vastly improved communication with family and friends. Yet outsiders who think they know better somehow believe that people are dumb to prefer an iPhone rather than moving out of the shanty. Maybe the iPhone is a better marginal buy than a better house.
