iOS is in a tough position, the road of incremental changes is coming to an end. The icon-based home screen is showing it's age and will need a revolution rather than an evolution. You can kinda see Apple dipping it toes into the widget arena with the notifications area, yet they're probably hesitant to remake the whole home screen and risk alienating their current users. Tech savvy people won't mind a new home screen concept but for the "dad's and mom's out" there it might be a tough sell.

Apple's leadership in UI design the last couple of years has been a little lackluster. While they seem to be able to iterate, with a few missteps, I'm less sure about their capability to get a whole revamp done right.

The talent is surely there but the question is whether the leadership and willing to take the right risks is. It's going to be interesting going forward, I'm guessing they will have to introduce something widget/tile -ish in the next phone
Besides the obvious economic benefits to the companies that make these phones, is there any real benefit to the user of not having a user replaceable battery? I feel really comfortable keeping an extra battery on standby for emergencies, especially since their charge capacity usually greatly diminishes in about a year or so.

| With the Sidekick, PalmOS, and then Material Design, Matías Duarte has been consistently at the forefront of mobile UI design.

Agreed, but with a slight nitpick - Duarte was hired to lead development on Palm's webOS designs. PalmOS was the aging predecessor.
I don't buy this argue...Open Whisper Systems managed to not roll over and they are only less than half a dozen people...
Right, if she destroyed documents to cover up wrongdoing. But there is no evidence of that. And since we can never have any clear evidence that she didn't commit a crime it currently seems as open and shut as it could possibly be.
Yep and ACLU! :)
This is a cute example, but it misses the mark. The efficient way to do fast nearest neighbor search is with a search tree (e.g., KDTree or BallTree), which brings down query time from linear to logarithmic in the number of items.
Just to confirm, do you, yourself, charge an hourly rate for your time? If you do, it is natural to expect that he can ask for both time and materials.
That is precisely the problem - the 6P was touted as the best top-of-the-line Android phone when it was launched - just a year ago. And now, it is "not representative of the consumer Daydream-ready devices that will be launching later this year". So while Pixel is ready for daydream VR today, it very well might not work at all with the next big thing that Google announces in a year or six months..
What about 33% ACLU, 33% EFF and 33% Open Whisper Systems?

Productive at what? All of this assumes some grand human plan you can work at. Thus far the vast majority of "productive" humans are "productively" burning through resources with little value: our burn rate is ALREADY crazy with an upper cap on age.
Apparently someone invited to an event and whom the operators of the event do not want arrested for trespassing can be trespassing, and the operators of the event can be arrested for saying they don't want him arrested for trespassing.

Agreed, the only other item that reaches the phone VR price point is Sony's Playstation VR (PSVR).
Oculus Rift OC1 and HTC vive is still targeted to developers and high end PC users. The price point is still too high for general consumers when the PC cost is factored in.

Mobile has to lead the way, which Samsung and Oculus did very successfuly with GearVR.

Cardboard was seen as a gimmick and now it has graduated to become a daydream.

This is a positive step for VR.

When blacks are harassed, detained, arrested, and sentenced more frequently then whites, despite committing crime at a similar rate, why does it matter whether the cause is the colour of their skin, or their economic standing?

Are you blaming this problem on black culture?

Have you ever actually asked any black people (Lower, middle, or upper-class) about how their interactions with police go?
I'd echo sister posts re: how to get involved. My wife is currently in biotech doing mixed research/slightly CS-ey work and it constantly boggles my mind how antique many of their methods are, but they barely have money to keep running let alone pay for the expertise and/or infrastructure to leverage modern computing. Companies that have more freedom tend to be more restrictive I've found, and without a PHD it can be hard to get a foot in the door. Been doing data engineer/distributed systems/full stack engineer for almost a decade now and the recurring feeling of "I should be doing more to contribute to humanity" is often followed by contemplation of pursuing bio, but frankly I've been in such a different part of industry I don't even know where to start without heavily hamstringing my current career (e.g. going back for a PHD, potentially in another field)
That's "motive". You need "means", too.

Attribution isn't simply based on "these people have a reason not to like HRC". In Crowdstrike's case, they've instrumented a decent fraction of all the desktops deployed in companies around the world and used them to hoover up malware and exploit toolkit samples.

So, to give this argument legs, you have to conjure up an employee of "Platte River Networks" who not only wants to leak Clinton Foundation files, but also knows the precise IOC's that three different threat intelligence firms associate with Russia. (Different firms, different IOCs, by the way --- here we're speculating that some random "managed IT services" company in Denver has faked out all of them).

About the closest you come to that is by suggesting that it's the FBI leaking Clinton Foundation files.

At that point, I think Occam is starting to bind on your argument a bit.
It's likely he played entirely different demos between the headsets, which is a huge factor in whether one gets motion sickness.
He didn't really say nor imply it'd take an equal amount of effort.
I'm still not quite getting this part:

> The problem is that what you need to download will contain 1. corerun/corehost runtimes used to bootstrap the process (platform native binaries)

if they're native, why not just build them right there and then? Or is that where the dependency resolution tool (that is managed) creates a circular dependency?

The other problem, if I understand correctly, is that the managed code has a bunch of #ifdefs for various platforms. If, instead, it selected one codepath or another depending on the platform at runtime (e.g. for something like Process, which has to invoke radically different APIs depending on the platform, make it a very thin wrapper around Win32Process/UnixProces/..., and pick the appropriate factory in the static constructor), the same managed code bundle could be used everywhere. Except for a brand new platform, of course, but that is a problem that the Mono solution also has (if you have to target something that doesn't run Mono).

I don't think this is true at all. I haven't touched iTunes in a long time. With direct iCloud syncing and direct phone updates, you never have to go into iTunes for just about anything.
I imagine videoconferencing / telepresence type things have a lot of potential? There's all kinds of interesting ways you can imagine a VR meeting could be more effective than your typical group Hangout/Skype video call.
> Direct from Comey's mouth, he said they actually did break the law.

No, he didn't.

> He then continues to say that no reasonable prosecutor would take the case against her – not for lack of evidence, but just because they wouldn't.

He doesn't say it is not for lack of sufficient evidence. In fact, he strongly suggests it is exactly for that reason.

> In fact, the FBI stated the exact opposite: there is evidence of legal violations

Actually, it says -- in your own quote -- "potential violations". Which is saying that there is evidence that Clinton and/or subordinates may have broken the law, but falls far short of saying that there is evidence that demands that conclusion.

And it goes on to say that that evidence is not such that a reasonable prosecutor would prosecute based on it.

> He goes on to explicitly say that these consequences would be different for other people

He goes on to explicitly say that consequences other the decisions on criminal prosecution ("security and administrative sanctions" being specifically called out as examples) would potentially be different for other people, but that those consequences which might be different are not the subject that the immediate discussion (focussed on recommendations on criminal prosecution) is about.

Every one of your statements misrepresents the substance of the quote offered to support it.
The link near the top of this page (HackerNews) that says "web". It's in an easy-to-miss list of light grey links.
Court isn't likely to solve this. Only a wholesale rejection of terrorism as a realistic threat to, well, anything but our political process is going to do it.

I assume the FBI is reading my email. You should, too, or you will be unhappy when you find out they are.

I've noticed I tend to work in three passes, although not necessarily three tries.

First is an over-abstracted mess that may or not work before it eventually collapses. Brainstorming.

Second is a rewrite aiming for compactness, that could end up impossible for anyone else to understand.

Third pulls just the right amount of abstraction out of the terseness of the second pass.

I treat it like a feedback driven control-system. Too much abstraction? Dial it down. Not enough abstraction? Dial it up. Repeat until good enough.

If I stop at 1 or 2, the code is poor. If I don't oscillate, it takes more passes.
Matías Duarte has been consistently at the forefront of mobile UI design.

This is a pretty subjective statement. It seems that a lot of Duarte's designs are somewhat derivative. Material extends MS's Flat design. I'm also not sure how much of that is Duarte, its a pretty open secret that Google makes use of some pretty high end digital agencies who aren't allowed to let folks know what they're working on.

WebOS was pretty tacky though an interesting OS design - actually implemented better by LG on their SmartTVs.

The Sidekick may have been his most interesting product but it was completely broadsided by the release of the iPhone and was n't anywhere near competitive to the Blackberry so I'm not sure how innovative it was.

If anything Duarte's had pretty good record for working on products with innovative features but never necessarily ground breaking on UI/UX
Sure, but potential partners and investors want to use your product and try it out. If you have Android-first the only thing you can do is you lend them an Android phone. And then you get 80% feedback on general Android topics and they boot the phone just to try the app and can't determine all its implementation and integration potential.
While racism may exacerbate the issue of violence and aggressive policing, we simply have too much aggressiveness and violence in policing. That said, it's going to be a while before we alter training and behavior meaningfully.

If we look at today's Philippines it's quite clear racism is not a necessary component of aggressive and violent policing.
Age is not a sign that's something is broken. Apples main lead is they need much less hardware to get good preformance which means smaller and longer lasting battery's and better profit margins. Giving that up for a useless status screen is a terrace idea that would cost them 10's if not 100's of billions of dollars.
> The icon-based home screen is showing it's age and will need a revolution rather than an evolution.

Right. Anything can be accessed so quickly a home screen should be more contextual than static app icons.
All humans have perceptions of the way things are -- based on facts, anecdotes, culture, emotions, personal experience, intellectual discussion, reading. When a human being hears something, of course it's colored by their pre-prepared understanding. To a human without a pre-built perception and context with which to evaluate it, their evaluation of information about Clinton would be "Who is Clinton? What is information? How am I speaking even though I don't understand language?"

And yes information is usually damning because of bad things that were done (ignoring the frequent instances where this is not the case, like someone who votes against the "stop child porn [and also eradicate half the bill of rights] act") but Wikileaks has an opportunity to leak this information when there is time to research, discuss, fully understand the data (months ago) or at the last possible second where it will have the most sensational impact with the sole purpose of turning the election instead of informing anyone, with minimal time to vet, discuss, understand, make sense of the results. That is now.
It's easy to say with confidence "These 6 people that I know well and represent are OK losing their jobs when you fine my company out of existence".

It's much harder to say "I will defy you and in the process cost 10k+ people their jobs without them having any say or knowledge of this".

This is closely related to the McGurk effect [0], which deals with our perception when the audio of one sound is shown with video of another sound being produced.

The canonical example of this is a video of saying /ga/ combined with the audio of saying /ba/ tends to produce the perception of hearing /da/

Not a dig against Docker but in my experience usually that stagnation kicks in when you're reasonably profitable or the end of the investment money is nowhere in sight. Gotta stay hungry. Always.
Even better when they both leave and you inherit responsibility for the project!
Thanks!

edit: a major question (if this is legit) is why the Clinton Foundation had so many internal DNC (or is it DCCC?) docs on their server ...

edit 2: I think main conclusion is, this is just rehashed DNC docs, not from the Foundation. unless anyone finds a smoking gun
While Guccifer 2 may have all sorts of motives, the important question is the legitimacy of the data and whether it reveals any sort of wrongdoing by US elected officials. I personally hope it doesn't and that we can move on from this scandal... But if it does, I'd also like to know.

The quoted statement misses a huge caveat: the Inc 500 are the fastest-growing private companies that submitted applications to be included in the Inc 500.

The application for the Inc 500 requires revenue disclosure. There are plenty of companies that decline to submit applications for the Inc 500, for reasons ranging from a hesitation to disclose revenue to a media company, to a hesitation to spend resources on PR that could be better spent on growth.
I'm going to be that guy: me, their philosophies are almost completely incompatible^^
According to the Mapping Police Violence site, fewer than 1/3 of the black suspects shot were suspected of a violent crime or armed. Randomly shooting people who match crime demographics seems a poor strategy.

Congratulations to the Sourcegraph team on shipping this new update. It looks great.

Back when Sourcegraph supported Ruby, I found myself reaching it for all the time. It was slightly half baked (semantic analysis of Ruby is challenging) but still incredibly useful. I look forward to the day Ruby support returns and it being better than ever.

Slightly unrelated, if you're based in the Bay Area, you should go to their meetup. I don't like going to meetups because the content is usually a bit fluffy but they've constantly had strong technical speakers. Here's one with the creator of Raft (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dfSOFqOhOU).

That basement conference room tho...
Would that be Atlas?
Sure. You get the extra apps baked in, but the system itself is not being changed.
Agreed, but since those two concerns are separate (algorithmic improvement vs. taking advantage of parallel hardware) I'm not sure I'd categorize this as "missing the mark" so much as that's a further improvement that could be made. For a blog post that looks to be an attempt to tout methods to easily exploit data parallelism, I think focusing on algorithmic improvement would be counter productive.

isn't the whole premise that the Big Companies actually control the government? "They threaten the full weight of the US government's wraith and then tie every order up with classifications and gag orders."

full weight? You mean like a small fine ? That's what happened to Wells Fargo. The govt . seems really angry about it, but what can they really do to a corp that is considered an entity?
I fought like hell to install all the deps before throwing in the towel.
I would say if you have any sort of feeling something isn't right, then talk to your doctor. A DRE alone would probably be enough if you are super worried.
This has actually been done for decades with usenet. Every encrypted message winds up on a common list, and clients occasionally scan the list and see if they have a key to decrypt any new message. The metadata is then that you put a message there or that you asked for a list of new messages, though that can be reduced to "you used tor" which until such a message server became commonplace might be better.
It might be worth considering why authorities think banning or regulating encryption is tractable.

- 100+ years of business telecommunications without significant strong encryption.
- Robust wiretapping and law enforcement access laws and practices that mean there is NO place or piece of information within US sovereign territory that is inaccessible to an authorized agent of the state.
- they have the expectation of total control. Hell, beat cops can shoot you over minor "comply or die" orders.
- Crypto isn't about your email or even evidence in a particular case, it is about the completeness and totality of their authority.
- States around the world routinely decimate their populations in civil wars and massacres to ensure the same people remain in power. From the LE perspective, anyone who threatens the sovereignty of the state is a terrist they would complete for the opportunity to shoot.

Hackers don't get it. If the crypto debate ever gets real, you cannot imagine how real it will get.
Your link only talks about video stabilisation, it doesn't appear to even try and examine still image stabilisation and if it is superior to OIS as you claim.
