Where do those quotes come from?
I think there would need to be evidence that holding a cell/wifi chose to your face causes health problems. This is what the American Cancer Society thinks, if you trust them: http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/a...
Oh those funny poor people trying to not get ripped off.
Could they be ordered to store metadata, with a gag order not allowing them to say they are doing so?
If you haven't yet, give Newsblur a try. A very powerful and efficient interface, also integrates well with Newsrob, a free-as-in-freedom Android reader.
> Criminal mishandling of classified material seems like it ought to be a big deal.

Was it criminal mishandling? The information I've seen on it is that there were very few (as in less than 5) items that were classified that made it to that address, and they were incorrectly flagged when they were sent to her[1].

> Bribery seems very likely. ... There are a number of suspicious bodies that have piled up over the years related to the Clintons.

Those aren't actions, those are, until shown otherwise, coincidences. To my knowledge, almost every Clinton scandal has been investigated thoroughly, so what, specifically, would you see her held accountable for?

> Her husband was probably involved in more sketchy sexual situations than any other president since JFK. At the least, that should cast a Cosby-esque pall over the whole situation.

Possibly, if you believe she's responsible for her husband's sexual proclivities. That's not a stance I support.

The naming and URL would probably fall under "nominative fair use", which allows you to use another entity's mark in order to referred to that entity, As long as you are not suggesting that you are sponsored or affiliated with that entity.

The other issue might be one of "initial interest confusion", which is exactly what happened with some people here: they clicked because they thought it was something other than what it was. Apparently that is actionable but inconsistently so, and the doctrine is controversial.

I think there might be different considerations involved if Github actually wanted to use the "github.audio" domain name.
> Try using it for an hour or more. Keep a toilet handy.

I don't think that's quite fair. Some people might get nausea from using VR while others won't. Just like carsickness doesn't affect everyone, "VRsickness" doesn't either.
On the org chart it may be, but when the three letter mafia is blackmailing you what can you do, even as the president?
No it won't. All first world countries have less than sustainable population growth as it is. We produce vastly more food than we need, and will be able to produce even more in the future with genetically engineered algae. We have vast areas of the Earth left to settle including deserts, antarctica and the Oceans. Not to mention space. We have millennia worth of nuclear fuel available on Earth, not to mention other forms of energy. Overpopulation is a joke.
If you preordered a Pixel from Google's site you'll receive a promo code for the headset in a few weeks.

She's the CEO, she gets paid to be responsible for everything at the company. Of course she is at fault.
Great! I don't feel like many people are really thinking about this problem. Just a note, I believe system.gc() is a no op, has been for a while?
Wait seriously? I've never noticed that!
Also, US buyers get a free Daydream VR headset (worth £69) if they pre-order, whereas UK buyers don't. Very annoying especially since a 128GB Pixel XL costs £819!
That's fine. This will enable a feedback loop where they can be directly be rewarded/punished for right/wrong actions by investigators as need be. Once they see repercussions, they'll care more and use/abuse this accordingly but the result will be a net improvement.

This is my favorite. I also really like hammock-driven development (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc)
Wow. 140+ comments and nobody mentioned the Python 3 jab :)

Seriously now, I gave up front-end stuff when it began requiring me to use Node to bundle files together, and find it terrifying to see Yeoman used as a code generator for non-JS runtimes and frameworks... building software atop quicksand (be it frameworks or libraries) that shift every week is insane, and it feels like the modern day version of just-in-time job security.

My use of thumb these days is to not use more JavaScript than what I can read in one sitting, unless a) it's D3 or a similar single-purpose library and b) I get a Docker container to run npm and all its funk inside that I NEVER have to look inside of.

My dream is that JavaScript dies and that the industry moves to something like Elm, ClojureScript or TypeScript, with a functional and/or hard typed approach.
> However, it's fairly common (especially for new managers) for them to think of employees looking for other jobs as a personal affront, and will make your life miserable.

Why would someone who takes my looking for other jobs as a personal affront make a counteroffer?
I don't quite follow that analogy.

My underlying thoughts are as follows. Yahoo is the target in this story, so I'll use Yahoo as the placeholder for any company that deals with user data in that capacity.

When you send an email, it shows up at a destination. You send it from your mail provider, "magic happens", and it shows up at the destination. By definition, the text that you send it what is received.

By sending your text with who you want it to go to, you are relinquishing control over your data. Now, Yahoo can read it. And any mailserver in between. And the destination mailserver can as well. You also give up a form of copyright- because the basis of this transmission means that the same message may appear multiple places.

With the USPS, we pay postage to send data and packages. And there are stringent safeguards in place for the USPS. We have no such data safeguard laws in the US. European Union is different (I don't know the laws there). But whatever data I send to some private org, can be used and reused in whatever ways that are bound by their privacy policy (which they write), and whatever contracts they abide by (PCI DSS, HIPAA, FERPA, etc).

Even though this part isn't logical, whenever I don't pay for a service, I automatically assume that I'm paying with my data. I guess when you're cash-poor, it's a good trade-off.
In NYC, small grocery stores (i.e. one of many retail storefronts on a block) are often colloquially referred to as bodegas, no matter the economic status of the area.
The only "big" change that came about so far has been the HTC Vive controllers (which are amazing). The ridiculously simple solution for WebVR was to add support for them to the Gamepad API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Gamepad_API...

This is a great example of how the hardware can differ but the software can be the same. Both Oculus and Vive work on WebVR, including the Vive controllers. Nobody had to throw away everything and start over just because of a hardware innovation.

If we start seeing special SDKs for each platform, this benefit goes away.
Likewise, although I refer to it as my spam storage.
I know nothing about the hardware behind VR so a quick question: if the GPU had enough power, could the experience be the same as HTC Vive/Oculus or is there something hardware wise on those that simply doesn't work on a phone? For example I thought there was some kind of special screen in real VR headsets, different from phones.
MYCIN did not fail: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/480542

From the abstract: "MYCIN received an acceptability rating of 65% by the evaluators; the corresponding ratings for acceptability of the regimen prescribed by the five faculty specialists ranged from 42.5% to 62.5%." So, better than the human experts considered individually.

Expert systems are able to explain their reasoning, which is essential if they are to be used for diagnosis. Neural networks cannot.

Deep learning and similar approaches might be useful in two areas though: interpretation of images, e.g. what's on this X-ray or ultrasound scan, or what type of rash is this; and undiscovered associations, e.g. are patients who were given drug X combined with drug Y for disease P more likely to get disease Q later on in life?

Deep learning in medicine also has a downside even supposing it works: lots of patient records are required, and anonymous ones can be linked to they people they describe, so there's a confidentiality problem.

PS I notice that you appear to be agreeing with my in your article: "This was the MYCIN project, and in spite of the excellent research results, it never made its way into clinical practice." and even refer to the same paper, so we're really just using different criteria for success/failure. One of the problems of expert systems was getting them adopted by end users. I don't see how using neural networks will be any different in that regard.

VR headsets greatly benefit from a higher resolution. Even the 2K display on the late model Samsung phones produce low resolution when paired with a Gear VR. Supposedly this won't be resolved until 8k or even 16k mobile displays.
I like the name anyhow.

Hi Josh. Yes, I'm aware of this new type of index. Oleg was even kind enough to answer my email asking a few question about it :-)
I think it's going to get as much adoption as the Playstation Move controllers or Microsoft Kinect.
I think parent is talking more about:

"Front row tickets to concert purchased for $500"

"Wait no, buy the cheapest tickets!"

"Cancelling order! Purchased last row tickets for $10"

"Only $10? Well maybe I can spend a little more an not be in the last row"

etc
Serious question: whose WiFi is not working, to the degree that they think, "I really need to get a modern router to make this Internet thing actually work."

I'm seeing about a dozen fancy modern wifi routers all trying to solve a problem I'm not sure exists.
They are moving away from Google Maps. It's too important of a component for them to entrust to another company. It's the same reason Apple implemented their own mapping.
There's probably a little bit of bias in relationship to the fact that more serious photographers probably shoot a lot more.
I know a little about Pier 01. It's full of Barcelona and international startups, and I believe it's part of the Barcelona Activa city project to develop entrepreneurship. There's a French accelerator called Numa opening there and a bunch of other companies. I can find you someone to talk to there if you want.
No threat to either iPhone or Note 7 and incredibly overpriced. Pixel is basically a mid-range phone for high-end price. OnePlus 3 for $400 in mid-range or Meizu M3 Note for $140 in lower end are much better deals.

Frankly a lot of people don't get the hype about having to install custom ROMs to make their phones behave in a tolerable way.

People are always going to find computing on devices they don't normally use to be more difficult than computing on devices they normally use, yet to you this is proof Android is better?
doesn't make me feel good buying this one knowing that next year they might abandon it....
No information has been released that I'm aware of.

But the Pixel C is also a Pixel device and also Android so there's definitely precedent for them allowing unlocks.
Ah. I did think a bit of that. Agree.

Not that I'm defending it, but it looks like Google is moving from being a platform provider to a (for profit) device provider.

Given the endless bullshit surrounding third party vendor foot dragging, abandonment, etc., I'm not sure they had any other choice. For my part, I'm done with anything Android that isn't directly from Google (or maybe Samsung, for a phone). And even Google, I distrust, after they left Motorola and my Moto X to "rust" before I was even done with its contract/payments term.
I recall news that many of the developers at Nest were basically moving to Google Hardware. There's a valid question on whether or not Nest will even produce anything going forward, or if they're legacy support for products that eventually will be replaced by Google Home equivalents.

I also very much agree with this. I think it might be a sign of something deeper, though. When I design a library, I keep in mind that it might be used in a variety of contexts applied in a multitude of styles. In contrast, when I author a framework I expect the users to adhere to the principles of the framework. Whoever owns main() gets to dictate the terms.

For a beginner or intermediate developer, this might be a relief. Once you reach the level where you have a good intuition for how to do things well, your primary focus will be the minimizing of complexity, and I can never shake the feeling that frameworks stand in contradiction to this goal. After all, they were designed for maximum generality, but are the abstractions envisioned really the ones you require?

That's not to say that everyone should embark on a journey to build their own 50kloc framework. You might want to consider skipping the framework if 500 lines of compact, well-designed and thoroughly documented code can do the same job, though. And you can still use libraries for the truly complex parts.
VR has so many possibilities outside of gaming I think saying gaming is the tip of the iceberg might be exaggerating gaming's overall role in VR.
Google is definitely in cahoots with the government and probably way deeper than Yahoo. Why would you even assume otherwise, given how much ties to the government they expose to the public these days?
depends how large your house is, the material of the walls etc.

I personally do need multiple routers to get wifi throughout the house.
If you look at the source for the images it's public repo's for images (500px.com, flickr...). They usually publish the exif which contains this data.

My guess is that it's based on frequency. What is unknown is whether the sample takes more prolific photographers into account when calculating "common". 5000 people may all own same camera and take single public image as oppose to single photographer who takes 5000 images.

Very cool but would love more details on how they are defining their criteria.
If you don't like LG and HTC simply because of popularity metrics then perhaps you are getting too young rather than too old.
A good place to start is by writing productive code. As part of the development process, look back on what parts of the code are holding you back the most. Perhaps bugs keep appearing in this dialogue, or that list renders very slowly, or setting up the unit tests takes a lot of boilerplate. Something on the project will be impacting your delivery the most. Work out what it is if it isn't already obvious, then fix it. You might do this by using a pre-existing library, or you might write your own solution.

Either way, by going through the problem solving process, you will develop some of the skills needed to recognise the motivation behind the solutions provided by 3rd party libraries and you will be in a better position to evaluate them.
Would it be more useful as non-screen with hardware buttons?
They released an 'updated' OnHub 3 months later; they really don't care about early adopters.
Simple made easy is my favorite but I'd also just generally recommend everything by Rich Hickey, Gary Bernhardt, and Jonathan Blow.
> Any idea if it works on Project Fi? I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

I am not in the US, so I don't know, sorry.

I have the 2014813 model, which supports the same LTE bands used in Europe. I also had 4G service in Japan, Korea, and China on a recent trip to Asia.

Overall I would definitely recommend the phone as a solid mid-range handset. The only thing that sometimes annoys me is lack of 5GHz WiFi.
What about the iPhone hardware do you think is missing in high end Android phones nowadays? Legitimately curious.
> That cheap-oil-for-your-private-planes deal with Pentagon is one small evidence

a perk they apparently shouldn't have been getting and was cut off by the pentagon is evidence the pentagon has front door access to Google?

> The other is Matt Cutts working for (on a temporary basis) the Defense Department's branch of USDS

What, do you think he really needed a job so the web search spam guy gave access to user accounts in exchange for getting to work in government contracting?

Really need to work on your circumstantial evidence.
Bring back the View-Master! I personally would never buy something that I have to strap around my head. Remember those things called helmets? Even today, it is a struggle to get both kids and adults to where them. I think these companies are completely missing the mark about VR. I would use a View Master over Oculus, Google, etc.
Came here to add "Stop Writing Classes", a fantastic talk to show how to refactor away from dogmatic OOP.
That's an incredibly enlightened way to reconcile that, while it sounds wrong today, it doesn't nesscesitate that Joel is a misogynist.

I've never really understood it as an increasing impetous to distinguish ourselves from the morons that, once the light has been increasingly shown on misogyny, hold firm to it.

Thanks for that, it's really help me better grok how to feel about these increasingly more common situations.
4chan is viable as an anonymous and ephemeral p2p implementation, 4chan has always suffered from the cost of running the service, which is kept to a minimum (relative to say, reddit) due to the lack of persistence. It can thrive with a peer-to-peer infrastructure since the need for advertising to sustain running costs would disappear, add encryption, restrict content to images and text to avoid the RIAA or MPAA getting close and it could be a veritable outlet for unabridged and uncensored views.
And you just got an email saying that OnHub and the new Wifi router use the same OnHub firmware, which presumably will be maintained at least until the Google This-Time-We're-Serious router comes out.
Depending on the type of fabric, it can breathe extremely well.

Agree. I've watched a ton of talks over the years on a variety of topics/technologies, and Simple made Easy just feels like a classic, and is timelessly relevant.
The "phone on the face" approach to VR is a solid one, but it's going to be Apple that makes it work and owns it because they control the ecosystem.

VR needs low end alternatives and "phone on the face" is it. From what I have read, Samsung's POTF device actually works quite well.

Manufacturers such as Apple will see it as appealing because it gives incentive to buy new and more powerful phones.

Google's POTF likely won't succeed (mind you it might have if they had more control over the fragmented Android ecosystem), but Apple's POTF, when it is announced, will be the winner in this category.

Were you wondering why the new audio port on the iPhone 7? That's the VR POTF port.
They have a lot more control over the mobile processors. The laptop processors have to maintain compatibility with all the software that people run on their laptops; effectively, that means they're stuck with other people's processors.

'progress' in the sense of 'changes that occur over time' is distinct from 'progress' in the sense of 'an overall improvement in human quality of life'. When we talk about progress we normally intend the latter case.
