Much more people will decide to buy iPhone 7Plus instead of new DSLR when difference in photos is not so obvious for amateurs. Double-camera is a driver for this decision, not size of sensor.
I can't wait till Porsche makes their self driving vehicle:
- Porsche Self Driving: there's no substitute to getting there faster
- Optimum signaling (lying) to other cars about size
- Pre-emptive lane changes to get other cars to yield to it
... etc

Soeone is going to game the system and make cars that if not advertised to, known to be bad actors in that they'll take advantage of others to move faster through traffic. Especially if one of the favorite fantasy's, swarm driving comes true.

Someone is also going to realize if they pulse their sensors in a certain way they can get other cars to move, slow down, speed, up, etc that will be to their advantage.

Self driving cars aren't going to be some communist utopia where everyone gets there equally, it's going to be Darwinian capitalist just like everythign else. I mean if the car drives you what does any nice car have to differentiate itself from any other than the nicest tv, leather, etc. You might as well ride in an RV at that point. Who cares if your car is fast and sweet like a tesla? if everything is self driving in a utopia you can't acutally make use of that. It's about as useful as the top end speed of a ferrari in manhattan.
I wonder how suitable EFS is for Postgres. It's supposedly low-latency, high-throughput and supports Unix locking semantics and so on. On the other hand, it's NFS (one of the worst protocols out there), and there have been reports of less than impressive latencies. EFS is also a lot more expensive than EBS.
Eh. Sensor size increases low light performances a lot, and gives much better performances per increase that lens quality. Besides, lowest I saw a phone go is f2.4, it's going to take a while to reach dslr quality

Yeah, I know the wire services are private companies, but news shows don't advertise "And now we turn to Reuters" as part of their show, and the wire service articles go through an editorial process.

I'd disagree with the amount of unrelated opinion on the wire services, though - new shows never did anything like Twitter-level opinion with their Associated Press feed, for example.

Alpha quality, not stable, several limitations in current release. Planned for beta in 1.5 (next year, probably).
My scenario is:

* There's a function f(int, double), called in ~100 places, written by many different people.

* For some reason I decide to change it to f(double, int). Consistency, or preparing for some other refactoring, whatever.

* I have to track down ~100 occurrences of f and exchange arguments. Time-consuming but no big deal.

* If any code was dependent upon compiler silently evaluating the arguments in a particular way, then the code was broken, and reasonably competent coders don't write too much broken code. (Moreover, such a dependency is 99% likely to be broken by random changes in codes or compiler options, so chances are that I wouldn't encounter too many such bugs.)

In your world, it is just about impossible. If I want to go ahead, I could either change every occurrence into:

int arg1 = ...;
double arg2 = ...;
f(arg2, arg1);

...or pore through every line calling f to see if it's safe.

C++ already has a reputation of being a difficult language to refactor, and your proposal will make it about impossible.
You just had to think that IBM 704 had 18432 bytes.
If anything, the Sony Ericsson t68i was the firing gun for convergence. I used to use it frequently - not just as a novelty. Would send them via mms where they'd then be published on my website - 140 chars, image, etc - my personal Twitter in 2002.

But either way, Apple didn't invent camera phones.
Do you think a cheetah knows anything about speed records? Who's the fastest cheetah? It doesn't matter who the fastest cheetah was because cheetahs don't keep records. And that chicken you ate -- Did someone record how much it suffered? Then it doesn't matter how much it suffered. The point is, if you are willing to kill something -- to erase its state of mind (the majority of its 'record') from existence -- then you're actively making its suffering irrelevant. If someone starts my house on fire, that fact becomes irrelevant when they detonate a nuclear explosion on it.

>Just because something bad that happened is in the past, doesn't make it OK that it happened in the first place.

It is ok that it happened. It's ok that everything in the past happened. It's not ok to forget that it happened, or to fail to learn from it. But killing something is a great big "fuck you" to that thing's memory and learning facilities, so there's quite a lot of hypocrisy wrapped up in thinking that killing something is ok if it didn't suffer.

Suffering and death are bad for reasons. Those reasons provide proportionality to ethical evaluations.
> [C]an you tell me how to do the equivalent of "git log -p"? Last time I checked (SVN 1.8) that's not very trivial.

svn log --diff, added in 1.9. Also doable with a little (est. < 10 lines) of shell scripting.

> Or how to revert a commit? IIRC that requires a merge.

git and svn disagree on whether history should be permanent or not.

Yes, absolutely. You have the right to speak. You do not have the right to an audience.
Looking at the patent license, it applies "solely to permit the reading and writing of image files that comply with the DNG Specification". So if you try to create a derivative/modified format based on DNG for whatever reason, the patent license won't apply since the new format would not comply with the specification. (Though that doesn't necessarily mean there's actually a patent threat - hard to say without research what actual patents Adobe owns that apply to the specification, and when they expire or expired.) Also, the specification document itself is not under an open copyright license, so the spec for the modified format would have to be written from scratch (though it could refer to the original).

Not sure if there is much reason to fork the DNG spec in practice, but still the situation is fairly different from "open sourcing API documentation with an Apache license".
Since that amounts to some of the best marketing they could do to some good leads, I doubt it.
OK, this is impressive. If only there were a two passenger option, that would be even incredible. Anyway, I believe they've done their homework and are aware of the number of lonely drivers waiting for such an affordable EV.

Names are cheap. If you need to buy them in bulk as a commodity, that can be arranged.

I was lucky to work in the tame minority of the fishing industry, but we sure heard our fair share of horror stories from the boats registered out of the Philippines and Thailand. Not sure what percentage was true, but the common theme is: humans and their names and families are cheap, if the buyer isn't racist.

Even worse, some banks use the initials "QA" for the function, completely ignoring the idea that those initials already have a meaning in software development.
Yes, but those many will be much less than they are now. I believe we'll own a car only if and when we can't avoid it (having babies to carry around could be a reason for many of us) or if we want to brag about our money.

I don't own a car since 2012 because I was not using it enough. I'm using car sharing now and a little more trains. It's much less expensive, maybe a little more time consuming, but that time is gained because I have less things to care about. Cars became a commodity for me, and I see no reasons why they shouldn't be. All I ask from them is be safe.

I want to offer a different perspective.

Apple ships the phones with an adapter for lightning to 2.5 inch headphone jack. Old headphones may become harder to use, but they're still perfectly usable.

We can't argue that the future is in wireless. Headphone cables get tangled, headphone sockets collect dust.

I'm currently using an iPhone 5 and the headphone input, spits out the earphones from time to time. That's because it collected dust.

IMHO that's why the article is spot-on. Apple always had the courage and boldness to push things forward.

I remember when the current macbook came out, everyone -including me- made fun of it. Just a usb-c port, really? Or performance??

But now I think that mobility beats performance, and simplicity beats complexity on portable devices.

On the other hand the price politics, and marketing ploys of Apple do make me angry.
>So I can attest that it's painless to clone and build it, which in my experience with open source is 95% of the battle

This has been my experience often times as well. Especially when it's node/ruby/python projects that expect the privilege of dumping files all over my global file system. Anyway, there's no excuse for un-reproducible build environments like that these days.

All of my (new) projects have exactly two requirements: `make` and `docker`. Everything else needs by the build environment is handled by nature of using docker. `make docker-dev` drops you in an environment with build tools installed, with the project source code mounted as a volume so you can use all your normal tools on the host.
I find it interesting that they didn't notice the overloading for so long. Also that it took so long to roll back. Given that they reportedly roll out twice a day, it seems like identifying a rollback target would be fairly quick.
No one said they did. The suggestion is that the iPhone 4 was a watershed in cameras on smartphones. For a while the iPhone was considered the benchmark, and still is in many ways. As ever, the bigger number of pixels that other devices have does not necessarily mean better cameras. Optics play a huge role. Other mobile devices have caught up and some have exceeded the quality of the iPhones camera, but that doesn't change the fact that the iPhone 4 was an important milestone for smartphone photography.
Whoa, that game is fascinating. It's like the compressed all of the mechanics of the whole original Doom skill progression into 5 minutes, replace the fiction of "different" weapons with regularized weapon stat bumps, and then everything up to 11 in an empty arena.

That's roughly "normal" or "short tele". Definitely not the best length for portrait, which starts around 70mm imho.
The overwhelming majority of jobs in the technology industry do not go to people who cold apply via jobs pages. This is important for you to know and operationalize.

A little off topic, but why is this? I don't doubt what he is saying but why is it not good enough to apply for a job via standard channels and not have to be in "the boys club" ?
Nothing much to say other than that I think Materialistic is definitely the best HN client on Android. Cheers hidro, it's great, nice job.
I was not talking about the photograph in the article, but a hypothetical recreation. Even if a photographer were to explain such a recreation were a satire or had some artistic value, I think many people would feel uncomfortable with it. Certainly most would not want their children to pose for such a photograph.

From that thought experiment, I'm deducing that it's the historical context which makes the original photograph acceptable to distribute, and not anything intrinsic to the image.
I thought so too, but I felt the urge to get back into SLR photography recently so I picked up an old Nikon D3 on eBay and the difference between it and my iPhone SE is like night and day. No matter how you tweak them small-sensor photos just look flat and drab in comparison, or garishly oversaturated.
Is diamond inheritance really part of that fabric?

Diamond inheritance isn't a problem in C++ as each inheritance path is followed separately. A small price to pay to enjoy the power of multiple inheritance.

And NULL?

NULL is deprecated since C++ 11 in favor of nullptr.

C++ is old and has only accumulated, never lost.

> No private company is considered required to promote or protect free speech

They are liable to offer the service in good faith. If their service to the user is communication, then I don't see how that promises any less than free speech. Publication of pornography to minors is an offense, so it's not covered by free speech to begin with. The picture in question is not pornography.

People don't like to hear it, but some of the biggest perpetrators were lower level employees at mortgage mills that were lying on mortgage applications and putting false information on them to get them approved. While in some cases it may be that the executives were specifically instructing employees to lie on this way, most likely they were just being far too overzealous and putting too much pressure on the employees.

Additionally, people who lied on their mortgage applications were also to blame.

Then of course at the top on the securities side, there were those that knew about these shady practices but went ahead anyway. So ya, some execs should be on jail probably, but even more low level sales guys and sub prime borrowers should as well.
On the flipside, the smaller the sensor, the deeper your field of view becomes at a given aperture (f-stop). This is really great for phone cameras, since it makes focusing a lot easier.

Think about it, when was the last time you got a photo or video that was out of focus on your phone? With a full-size sensor DSLR at f/1.8, I've seen professional broadcasters really struggle to deliver in-focus images. In fact, most broadcast cameras for television have significantly smaller sensors in order to get wide DOF at a large aperture.

I mean sure, super-shallow DOF with tons of bokeh can look really pretty when done well, but for 99.9% of people it would give crappy out-of-focus shots.
Waaay back in the day, I worked for a famous news agency that you've all heard of. We had blown up on all the walls large prints of some award-winning images, 40"x60" or bigger that had come from cameras like the original game-changer for photojournalism, the Nikon D1 which were all of 2.7 megapixels. And these prints looked fantastic. Since then I have never cared about megapixel count, it's a relatively minor factor in the final quality of an image.

I really like your description, it's pretty much the same as how I think about it. But only when I'm in a subjective 'C++ all the things' mood - which happens often, especially since C++14, there's just so much to love about C++.

When I try to be objective about it though, I'd say you are glorifying too much and skipping on the darker sides of it. You and me probably now exactly how to avoid those and that's also exactly one of the reasons why for us C++ is all utter greatness. But when I see inferior, dangerous, ugly, waiting-for-UB code produced by others I realize it's not all that great. Or maybe still great - after all you could blame their lack of knowledge instead of C++ - but I really wouldn't use terms like finely tuned or extremely logcical. Seriously, I've used the language for like 10 years and it still occurs to me that I see a C++ question and corresponding answer on SO which completely baffle me because I had no clue about that particular implementation detail. There aren't many languages like that. Here's one just from today: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39422188/difference-betwe... granted I would never write that stuff, but also I really couldn't tell 100% sure how 'const int& x = 4;' at classlevel is supposed to behave.
Go back 30 years. TV and newspapers were (and are) private companies too. We had free speech when speaking with friends or at a political meeting, and sending mail.

Now we're doing more of that kind of communication inside social networks. They can't censor preemptively so they censor after we publish. But it's not different than wanting to write to friends using a newspaper as intermediary. The reason we were not doing that was the extreme inconvenience of the method but censorship would have been the same.

What we're doing now is forcing free speech protection on some companies that became a communication medium almost indistinguishable from free air. It's an uphill battle but not an impossible one.

On the other hand, it ensures the managers, up to the CEO, actually understand what they're talking about.

No more dealing with managers not understanding anything about what they manage.

Doing this — only promoting your oen engineers to managers — improves efficiency by many times.

And the story of VW in the US started with the EPA violating the law and discriminating against VW for a few years, after which most likely even experienced talent would say "if they break the law to keep us out and protect their local industry, let's break the same law to get us in".

Fish is shit, was a slogan my friend Jan Husar and me came up with.

Fake fish is a real health threat. Farmed fish from SE Asia often contains liver fluke eggs. If you eat these raw you can get cancer of the bike duct. See http://m.cancer.org/cancer/bileductcancer/detailedguide/bile....

That isn't scare mongering. I got this cancer five years ago and now am dying from it. The only cause I could see that made sense was sushi made from raw farmed fish.
Apparently escolar can cause diarrhea. I'd rather be very specific of the species in this case.
You are right. Interesting. It may also depend on the gaming device. On PC I am used to be able to save a game at any point. (except for some console ports) I think that makes a huge difference, as there is then no need to play another level or play past another save point, I just hit ESC and click on save and close the game when I want.

Sadly more and more games are multi platform and even if they allow you to save it's often only outside/after of a mission, or even if they allow you to save at any point, if you load the save game you are reset to the last invisible save point and have to replay it from there. That's the most off-putting experience and I am pretty sure it also manipulates people to play longer than the want, and as many don't know better (don't even know the free saving possibility from PC) they don't have a bad taste about it.

Quick save and quick load also is or was part of popular PC games, I mentioned above. It allows one to try out something, if it turns out that it was a really bad idea, I can go back and try it in a different way - something that's invaluable in Deus Ex 1 and RTS like Age of Empire series. With console games like Uncharted series or GTA series it's not possible, and I wish it would be possible (at least on PC were the disc space for save games is let's say near infinite). A really cool feature that I know only from Codemaster racing games (and Braid) is the playback feature, that allows you to go back in time (1-2 min) and try it again in a different way. I wish most games would come with such a playback feature, it's really great and useful. And games could limit it to eg 5 playback activation per level like Codemaster games (depends on easy/medium/hard level).
