> supposed to be a very high end camera

I'm curious, did it really turn out to be one?
The iPhone is a pocket PC with a phone bolted on. The phone part can remain be just as boring and utilitarian as ever - I think my "phone" experience might have even been better with a Nokia.
Agreed, I did a double take there too. "If not fish, what have I been eating?" But no, I'm still eating fish, and it tastes like all the other fish I get at the same price, unless I pay roughly triple, in which case I get noticeably tastier (apparently of a different species) fish.

Of course, mislabeled food is not fantastic, but I've figured for a while, when I order kobe beef sliders, "Yes, bold faced lies on the menu, but if it tastes good, who cares?" Transparency and reporting can go a long way here; isn't the rest just "market price" of whatever they're calling it today?
It's obvious bubbles are all caused by money anyway (printed or not). What is the money being spent on?

The Sony PlayStation is based on a fork of FreeBSD. It is entirely proprietary. Lots of different embedded device also use BSD because they are permissively licensed. Anybody who gets such a device is screwed because they cannot modify it or even know what the device is doing. This is true for the majority of IoT devices (which is a serious problem going forward). To be fair, there aren't nearly enough GPL enforcement lawsuits as there should be (which is why I donate to the Software Freedom Conservancy) so it's not like the copyleft side is /much/ better but at least copyleft does help achieve the goal.

In addition, GPLv3's anti-tivoisation clauses are quite unique in the free software world and are specifically written to ensure that users have freedom over devices that try to undermine the spirit of the GPL. You won't find any permissive license that has such protections for your freedom (because it's not enforceable without making the license copyleft).

This argument doesn't hold for standards, generally. Because what matters for a standard is adoption. Sure, you're making it possible to have a proprietary fork of your reference implementation but at least users can be sure that the specification is actually used (and if the spec is Apache licensed then you're safe from patents which is something that can't be said of proprietary specifications). But Apache OpenOffice isn't a standard, so this is not really all that relevant.
This is great. I've been waiting for them to catch up with Ubuntu LTS so I can move over. I already know Geary is quirky and still doesn't handle contacts and that the calendar apparently doesn't sync with anything (at least one of the betas didn't), but the nice, clutter-free desktop (mostly) makes up for it.
The more I think about it even if you used originals you could licensed John Wayne's voice from Disney(or who ever owns clips of it) or something you couldn't imply there was an endorsement it would be fraud.

In India, these forms of advertisements are still a primary way by which millions of couples meet each other. The parents are often involved in pre-filtering alliances.

The electronic version of this (e.g. http://www.bharatmatrimony.com/ and the like) are the original e-commerce successes on the Indian Web, and are still going really strong.

Up/down voting works the same. It's just the "how=" parameter that changes from "up" to "down".

There's also a "/flag" call with only "id" and "auth" to flag comments / articles. (with "un=t" it unflags) The link says "flag" or "unflag".

If printed money doesn't get used it's as if it was never printed. It is the action of using this money that causes prices to rise.

Nobody will just print money and leave it in a vault.

Anybody know a good OS X app to scan the file system for suid binaries? I guess I could do this with find from the shell, but a little utility app with a nice ui (and possibily some integration with a database to hide or categorize by threat level) seems like a smart thing to have on my system and run every so often.

iPhone isn't a competitor for DSLR.

It's a competitor for high end P&S e.g. Sony RX100 and mirrorless e.g. Fuji X100.
There are also some echoes of the world wars. If your country can't feed itself, you can't support an industrial base to fight. Kinda like the highway system.
Australian traffic button pushes beautiful design
I was not.
It was an attachment that plugged in the bottom of the phone. I don't remember being particularly impressed by the quality of the photos. It was getting chucked in with the phone eventually
It did, literally, come along with a camera. You plugged the camera in to the charging socket. The photos were terrible: not even 256 colours, resolution in the order of 200 x 300. I used it twice and packed it away forever.
No, I don't use vim or any similar arcane editor. When I hear someone is happy e.g. with vim, and then I see how they use it (e.g. you can see screencasts from Golang team on youtube) - they just use it as a vanilla plain text editor, slightly better (or worse?) than Notepad.exe. Maybe basic syntax coloring, and that's it, nothing more...
You might like to know more about Australia's experience with unsubsidizing farmers.

Or, heck, you might not like it. But I think you should know more about it anyway.
Funny you mention that.

I am moving all my photos from the last few decades into Photos/iCloud which will then appear on my phone.
They did help him. The Feds advised the guy to call the local police.
This was the first time we had this class of outage. Many things were in a very bad state, and many of these symptoms were more familiar to us. So we spent time ruling them out before realising webserver CPU was closer to the root cause than the other symptoms.

We roll back by reverting to a previous release on the load balancers, which is usually pretty instant. The previous releases were bad and themselves rolled back, which is a rare situation for us. So there was a bit of scrambling to look into the chat logs to determine a safe (non-rolled back) release we could roll back to. Then the high CPU caused our roll back to be really, really slow. Then we still had old processes running the bad release running, and killing them on webservers with high CPU took a while to actually work. Then it took a bit of time for load to come down on its own. All of this took place within the 8:08-8:29 window reported in the post. And I'm still simplifying a lot.

Quite a lot of people including myself are doing 99% of photo/video editing on iPads.

Nope. I can only reiterate that you've completely missed the point. It actually was that people may have different opinions, regarding their priorities in their lives as well. And it's only up to them to decide what those priorities are. Whether you like it or not.
I really want to read that book now.

For all the hearsay about Alan Moore's nastiness, I have to say I 100% appreciate where he is coming from. Comic book super heroes have been transformed by Hollywood into something so unimaginably bland that I would be a tad surly as well if I found my fame growing exponentially as a result of such drivel. Maybe it's not a graceful response, but I have to respect someone who wants to do interesting work in spite of the capitalist machine that crushingly smooths all the corners off of culture.

This exactly! I'd like to make enough money from a project of mine to comfortably support myself, while also enjoying the project itself. The first part is hard, but the second is easy, because I only start projects that I like! (Current project is https://IndieHackers.com, launched a month ago, so far so good!)
I don't think hg is going anywhere, if CVS is still alive and kicking in 2016, and especially since Facebook's using it. However, IMO hg lost when even python switched to git.
I have no inside knowledge of Facebook's workings, but I speculate that the sequence of events was:

Employees saw this thread on Hacker News, posted on Facebook's meme network, the meme got a thousand upvotes, and someone did a one-off to reverse this decision.

Because it was obvious to everyone that it was the wrong decision. It was also probably obvious to everyone that the mistake that lead to this decision will keep happening.
Ehh. I like that people can take better pictures but the biggest thing i'd lose is the personality of my 35mm f1.4 - it has a character that makes my pictures feel more lively to me. But always nice to have a better camera for Instagram quick pics! If only the photos app wasn't an unorganized heap of pictures of travels, receipts, and other documents..

This is a bit of a false equivalence.

As he's French he broadly has no choice but to live within the laws of his state - he can campaign against them but for as long as he's there he's under them, and moving to another jurisdiction is not that easy. Whereas, he chooses to go to the USA and fall under their border controls - he's making the statement that he won't choose to do so.

While he's likely to be unnoticed by his existing state, border controls have a much higher chance of capturing interest and the outcomes are uncertain (at least in part because you're not a citizen and the way of working will feel 'foreign')

While it does sound a bit extreme, I can personally say I don't like visiting the USA any more because of the border controls. I'd probably try ad put business in Canada because of the extreme way in which the USA now treats foreigners. It can be very uncomfortable, difficult and aloof. Unless you've actually come under the purview of the TSA as a 'foreigner' it's hard to have a sense of how poorly they treat people and the general arbitrary nature of control [0].

[0] That is not to say that other countries are much better. As a UK citizen I'm pretty clear that we treat external people coming in completely differently to our citizens - and having been involved in visa applications for employees have found some of the ways in which "my government" treated people totally embarrassing.
Lovely argument, if only it were true. Your whole argument is all over the place, not least because a lot of food eaten in rich countries is has minimal subsidies already. Why don't you examine the world as it is today rather than how you think it is.

> "You starve poor countries by selling off all of their food to rich countries and making what's left very expensive"

The food produced in the poor country will sell for "the world price", pretty much the same everywhere. Not "cheap" in the rich countries and "expensive" in the poor ones.

I'll assume you are talking about US production. The vast majority of US crops don't need subsidies. They are heavily mechanized on cheap land (middle of Iowa etc) fairly close to markets and with good infrastructure.
Thanks, I had read it already. :)
to me it looks great, much better than what i have on my LG G4, but that is not an expert opinion.

I had a disaster with the iphone 5c, the phone kept breaking down from simple use and i had to fix it several times before i gave up; for me that killed any warm feelings for apple, with android you can at least try another vendor, without having to learn a totally different UI.
How long until he got promoted to "N2O hacker"?

Communism failed because of human nature. It is incentives gone wrong. If there is no pressure to become more efficient, or even remain efficient, things will become less efficient and everybody suffers (to the point of starvation). Central planning failed due to complexity of the task.

Free market / small government doesn't work because a) it is inherently unstable due to power laws (rich get richer), b) lots of externalities (e.g. environmental damage) not being priced in, c) lower overall wellfare without government spending on infrastructure etc. In the end, it won't work because of human nature (incentives gone wrong).

So the challenge is to design the system for a society such that incentives are set right, such that a) there is efficient production such that the society can survive in the short run b) it is sustainable such that it and the whole ecosystem can survive in the long run. The past 50-100 years made a lot if progress on a), and the next 50-100 years need to solve b).
Oh...so Facebook "backs down" after another one of their censorship cases blows up on the Internet.

But how many thousands of similar cases don't find the same outrage online, but are still just as dangerous? We don't hear about those. That's the problem with censorship - most of the time you don't even know what you were supposed to be able to see, by the time it's censored.
> Supreme convenience is not force.

In theory, it is not. In practice, it is. Not only that, in case when there is a fight between almost anything (such as privacy, security,...) and convenience, the latter will always win (on large scale).
Then Facebook should stop pretending its AI is anything but worthless.
> In addition, the bokeh feature only works on portraits.

That's the first I've heard of that. Can you back that up? Seems like it'd be easy enough to get it working on any image with depth to it, so it seems odd that they'd limit it.
I believe RAW output only works on the iPhone 6S or newer.
Dual-camera setups for phones are not new at all, yet only Apple gets the props for "changing the camera industry" .. For the other vendors it's a "gimmick" !
Phones are boring and utilitarian too. The difference is I used my pre-iPhones and could nitpick about the UI and other aspects to no end. I get in my car and the only thing I nitpick is the shit integration with my iPhone, but I don't have a CarPlay stereo yet. Literally every other aspect of my car can't be improved. I see a lot of things that could regress in the name of advancing technology, but if I wanted that, I'd probably want a Tesla.
What I don't get is why you didn't see the relatively low cpu usage on the database server and the super high ones on the webserver immediately in a nagios (or similar) dashboard.
I wouldn't mind subsidizing smaller farmers. Larger farmers shouldn't be subsidized.

The government would need to prevent large companies from splitting up, and suddenly overnight you have 20 different small companies. They could beef up legal penalties for any blatant, repeated shinagigans. (Will never happen? The money their lobbyists sending congress is staggering?)

It's a shame how taxpayer money is wasted by administrators/politicians.

In the Bay Area, we have a lot of civil engineering jobs. (Those street repair/pipe jobs that never end, and tie up traffic for years). For years, it seemed like one company got all the work-- Billotti Brothers. (Didn't use their real name, out of fear.)

Even though every project required three bids, by three different companies, it seemed like Billotti got all the work. I used to wonder why. They must be one efficent company?

The Internet arrived, and people had some honest questions, basically, the main one was, "Is this the only company?"

I then noticed news papers started to list the construction companies that lost out on the bids. I looked into these companies. They all seemingly were founded by a Billotti? It looks like they sent their kids to Sacramento to get their contractors licenses? (Very easy to get).

These companies then all bid on projects. The lowest bid won! "Hold up a glass of red wine!"

And of course, they didn't plan this wacky coincidence, commingle assets("I don't need that grader brother."), share workers, work on eachother's projects--never.

And I actually don't have a clue to what they did, but it just doesn't look right. And it all could be legal--I just don't know? Or maybe, all the kids/grandkids just followed in dad's footsteps, and got into construction aspect of civil engineering?

(Edit: If I recall, the whole save the American farmer thing was started when I was a child. It sounded great, but farmers bought up all the small farmers, and the subsidies never stopped. Sorry about going off topic with the Billotti Brothers. I've become so dissalusioned with our society.)
> I could totally see people buying a car based on how trustworthy it is (crash statistics).

The problem with such an idea is that even if you sell 100 000 cars in the first year after launch (really good), you'll have to wait for about five years before you have the statistics to claim you car has any better than average safety record. But after those five years, your model is going to be near end-of-sales, so it won't matter.

And that's with safety records today. As cars keep getting safer, this gets worse and worse. Remember, NHTSA averages today are over the entire car population. Today that population has a significant tail of cars from the late 80s or early 90s without basic safety measures like airbags and crumple zones. These will have a much higher fatality rate. But it ten years, when those are mostly gone from the roads, it's going to be ludicrously difficult to make statistically valid statements about car model safety while that model is still being sold.
Apparently it's pretty safe from an audit standpoint if you pay yourself at least $118,500, the maximum amount that is taxable for Social Security. Of course, that means you just save the 2.9% tax for Medicare on any remaining income.

Still, I totally agree that it's unethical.
Can someone explain what "exchange of miniatures" means in this context?
#2 The process is definitely broken. If Facebook's AI isn't smart enough to know what it's banning, then it shouldn't be doing censorship.
What an awful format for slides.
Both flat/drab and garishly overcolored pictures can be easily fixed in Photoshop, except when noise or lack of dynamic range gets in the way (i.e. the detail never gets captured, or one or more color channels get clipped).

The problems with phone cameras (and small sensor cameras more generally) are (1) hitting the resolution limits of the optics, (2) noise, (3) lack of dynamic range, (4) lack of choices in quality lenses, (4) fixed aperture, which means no creative focus effects, and poor performance in low-light settings, (5) software based (and therefore slow and sometimes inaccurate) manual controls over shutter speed, focus, flash, etc., (and more generally, a much less efficient or adaptable physical user interface than a dedicated camera) (6) often limiting output formats, with lots of in-camera processing wiping out data from the raw image.

Any 6+ megapixel DSLR (e.g. the ones from the early 2000s) with a nice lens easily outclasses the iPhone or any other phone camera, in the hands of a photographer with basic competence.

On the other hand, phone cameras are amazing for their ridiculously tiny size, and their cost is obscenely low after the economies of scale kick in. They take much better pictures on average than the <$50 35mm film cameras from the 1990s, especially when the photographer is a complete beginner (those are the cameras I think of as their spiritual ancestors).
The form only has check boxes for yes or no. And the right answer for all questions is: no

Population density isn't "a nice way to put it", it's data from before colonization began. Regardless of what happened afterwards, the starting conditions were very different in what is now the US and Mexico.
I'm not sure I understand the second point here, shouldn't whether a transaction is atomic be independent of indices and data parameters?
When to start looking for interns if I want them with March 2017?
I was thinking of posting adverts now (on and offline at uni campus), conduct interviews in October and ask candidates if they are available in March 2017.
Does that sound ok or is it too soon?

The company would be registered in January 2017.
Internship duration would be 4-6 months.

Wait until the safety facts come out for self driving cars:

1) $CAR_PROVIDER_X: 00.005% your daughter dies in a car crash

2) $CAR_PROVIDER_Y: 00.0045% your daughter dies in a car crash

3) $CAR_PROVIDER_Z: 00.009% your daughter dies in a car crash

IMO it's going to completely transcend previous safety ratings. People will evaluate the quality of self-driving tech in the beginning, maybe after awhile people start viewing it as "god like" but in the beginning they will be PICKY.
Miniatures were small painted portraits. It would be like exchanging photographs today.

> for something like long polling or web sockets

Are you imagine this scenario or you are actually using Flask for long polling? What's your Flask websocket setup looks like?

FYI Flask internal does not stop you from using thousands of threads of greenlets to process concurrency. And web request-response model is embarrassingly parallel on multi-core. Just spawn one worker per core.

For a simple API service if you can not handle 3K rps per Flask instance you are doing it wrong.
I would say the barrier to launching a social network is considerably lower than the barrier of launching a newspaper.

It can be a safety issue if you order fish you thought was caught in the wild but is actually fish farmed in some far-away place to god-knows-what health standard (perhaps fed large doses of antibiotics, etc).
