> their endurance is still much higher

It's not "much" higher, actually, 3D MLC as implemented by Samsung is just "up to twice" better than the planar MLC given the same die area and capacity:

http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/v-nand/tec...

"Samsung V-NAND provides up to twice the endurance of planar NAND."

But if the size of the cell drops, the number of P/E cycles drops. Samsung's endurance declarations are real and to be believed, they initially used bigger cells than some of their other chips (or competitors), but Samsung engineers know what they do, that "some tests" achieved "much more" can be either an accident or due to the errors in the test methodology (and I very much suspect the later, because it also allows the accidents to be taken as the "success"). At the time these SSDs appeared, Samsung declared twice less TBW than they do now, so now the declared endurance is surely not too pessimistic, but based on the real knowledge of what's inside.
Sounds a lot better than I thought. Appreciate the explanation. :)

I do think it will be a lot more successful than most here think.

First off, Snapchat (Snap?) isn't Google - their brands are completely different at least among the target audience. Glasses of some sort are inevitably going to be a fashion accessory with extra functionality, and Google is just too uncool. They are the company that wants to knows everything - every interaction refreshes that impression, from Street View vans to Search.

Second, it's sold as a camera on your face, instead of a computer on your face that can do things like recording a video. Even if it's the same hardware, this does make a difference. Everyone understands pseudo-mechanical functions like "press a button to take a 10 second video". Unless the wearer is mashing a button by their face, you can assume it's off. Computers and phones? One might as well assume it's recording video if the operator has the camera pointed at you. The average HNer has a good mental model of how a computer works, but the average person sees it as a magic-infused black box.

The price point looks reasonable, I assume the goal here is strong sales for the holidays. Would expect some celebrities or whoever to be spotted wearing these in the next few months.

Right or wrong, Hong Kong is neither powerful nor self-sufficient enough to resist total integration into mainland China. I suspect the process will be fully complete within another decade. China today is an unacknowledged superpower that is fully capable of enforcing absolute dominance in nearby territories. No amount of international condemnation can stop China.

From a military point of view, Hong Kong as an island is very easy to isolate and fully suppress for years until the people change their minds. China has the economic clout and manpower to do this for decades if necessary.

I strongly believe Hong Kong politicians are better served by asking for concessions and benefits from the mainland (tax reduction, extra funding, etc) then attempting secessionist movements that are only going to spectacularly fail with a bloodbath of their people.
If i were in the AR space, i'd be very excited by this. Snapchat, probably more than any other company, has the potential to make wearing technology on your face socially acceptable. Google did not, microsoft doesn't, no unknown startup does, but there's a good chance that these glasses could do it.

A non-trivial amount of time spent is simply reading the files off the disk. If speed is the all-encompassing metric, there's a big gain to be made by pre-processing the files into an index and loading that into memory instead, and that's what livegrep[1] does.

If you find yourself waiting for grep often enough, it's a pretty handy internal tool to configure across all repos.

That's a good point, but "better" is a subjective word. If an individual is capable of enjoying life while using cocaine, without regrets that outweigh their experience, then cocaine has enriched their life. Drugs are always a mixed bag, and the bad generally outweighs the good, in my opinion. Others may feel differently though, so I don't want to deprive them of their definition of life enrichment. Enrichment is not enlightenment: If anyone claims these glasses will make a person's life more enlightened, I would then be skeptical. Enriched though, I can accept. Let's first imagine some of the less valuable things people may be doing with their time, specifically in the targeted age range.

You're cherry picking your example. This is a single measurement that doesn't capture the relevant qualities of sound but is widely used for social/marketing reasons. That's not the a flaw in reductionism as a philosophical stance or a methodology, it's just PEBKAC.

> That's what happens when you use a measurement-driven, reductionist approach to perception. You value what you measure, whether or not what you measure explains what you observe.

This is just silly. Your observations themselves are measurements, and reductionism done properly should end up systematizing those measurements. Even for subjective qualities, you can measure peoples responses (e.g. how "warm" is this sound, which of these two sounds more "energetic") and (to the extent that those responses are nonrandom) search for relationships to measured quantities.

> And Modernist Cuisine falls into the usual failings of western reductionism - if we can't measure it, it doesn't exist. That's nonsense.

1. I keep seeing this without explanation, what about reductionism is particularly Western? Or is there some brand of reductionism that is distinctly Western versus one that is Eastern?

2. As far as "if we can't measure it it doesn't exist", to the extent that this is the stance of reductionism it's only insofar as measure includes "perceive the effects of". Warmth in music? Counts as a measurement. Roundness of flavor? Counts as a measurement. The goal of reductionism is simply to reduce these to simpler measurements of physical quantities and relationships thereof.

3. If you can't reduce the measurement to something based in physical quantities then either a) we humans consistently perceive it (e.g. in blind taste tests) and your physical quantities or possible relationships are lacking or b) we humans do not consistently perceive it and it's either a poorly defined quality (each person comes up with their own definition based on what it seems to them that it should describe) or it's just a randomly applied label picked up by social instinct. (Critics describe the same wine with different qualities based on the label it was served to them with [1]). Now, that's the nonsense.

My time playing with hardware RAID cards is over. My disks spent their time dropping on different builds (even with TLER disks only). For a home NAS, a synology style linux software RAID with regular data scrubbing is the peace of mind solution. For the cache problem, a cheap UPS that lasts the few minutes required to gracefully shut down is a good enough solution. As for performance, my bottleneck is the 1 gigabit port on my laptop anyway. And I don't see any improvement on the horizon for that anyway.

Pretty much all email clients are message/thread based.

I don't really care about threads, because people just don't know how to use them. But even if they do, it often isn't clear when to start a new thread vs. continue an old thread.

That's just a software limitation that could be bypassed if the device gets jailbroken, redirecting the creepiness from the company to a single user (who decided to jailbreak to take longer videos).

Thanks for your thoughtful response!

Brown v. Board of Education is definitely the most well-supported case of the three, and you might be right; perhaps it's fully justified by the 14th Amendment. I have trouble seeing how the Court got from the reasoning in McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents (most professional schools need to be integrated so that minorities can learn their professions from people who are currently working in their field) to the sweeping declaration in Brown that all segregated schools in all circumstances are inherently illegal, but that's a relatively minor quibble, and I should have looked for a better example.

The problem with the 9th Amendment argument for rights like privacy is that just because the rights exist doesn't mean the federal government is entrusted with protecting those rights, much less affirmatively defining their scope in cases where the extent of the right is hotly contested.

It doesn't make much sense to file a federal lawsuit to stop a state government from implementing state abortion laws that were duly approved a majority of the state's voters, including women. It makes even less sense for the Supreme Court to then lay out (as it did in Roe v. Wade) a detailed regulatory scheme explaining exactly when a fetus should be treated as a person. Even if you approve of Roe v. Wade's trimester scheme, there's no common sense way to get from "Americans probably have some kind of right to privacy" to "According to the Constitution, here's which fetuses are viable."

Similarly, I support gay marriage, but I can't find a right to gay marriage in the constitution as it's currently written. The Obergefell court wasn't even pretending to interpret any particular part of the Constitution -- instead, the Court just asserted that "The identification and protection of fundamental rights is an enduring part of the judicial duty to interpret the Constitution" and that "it requires courts to exercise reasoned judgment in identifying interests of the person so fundamental that the State must accord them its respect." If you trust the nine members of the Supreme Court to "exercise reasoned judgment" on behalf of the whole country to figure out what's moral, then that's fine...but that's not a democratic way of doing things.

You would think it would be a no-brainer that everyone expects to work as it basically works to reach "everyone" in the world with far older technologies like physical mail, E-Mail and the telephone.

I hypothesize that the list of ideas that will be posted here will make for great examples of what not to build if you're considering commercial value. Developers and the HN crowd make for a very small market and are very hard to monetize.
