As a Javascript front-end developer, my main experience lies in enterprise scale single page JavaScript applications (SPA’s), preferably built with the Angular 1/2 or React framework. Beside that I have strong business development and leadership skills. Having successfully built my own company from the ground up and run it for 10 years, I know what it takes to build, lead, grow and maintain a business.
I just want a phone that works. All of those words are confusing.

Seriously though I showed up at Apple with a credit card and a SIM card 48 hours ago and they were not able to sell me a phone. To make it even weirder, I had the (unopened) phone I wanted in a bag, but it is a "locked" one from TMobile. I thought that was ancient history.

One day Apple will want my money!

I don't think anyone thought finding companies would be the hard part getting investors to part with a check seems a lot harder. Especially considering 1k to me means more than 50k to most angel/vcs.
That's a fundamental problem with leaks like this, particularly from brazenly partisan sources. There's no realistic way to verify that the hacker did not fabricate documents to insert before they released the "leak". The "Pay to play" folder and the TARP spreadsheet strike me as a little too convenient to be real.
> This is sort of necessarily true - people wouldn't be choosing to drive unless they felt it was better than alternatives. Taking away that option is necessarily forcing them into worse alternatives.

This is absolutely not "necessarily true." It's possible that driving has large negative externalities and requires large public expenditures, to the extent that while for any individual trip we'd be happier driving, we'd be even happier if we could coordinate non-driving. I love living in a car-unfriendly place, because while it might be less pleasant and more stressful when I do have to drive, it's wonderful to be able to walk or ride my bike to the grocery store, work, parks, playgrounds, etc.
> Euthanasia, to me, seems to be the least worst option if I should ever find myself facing a drawn out exit.

Another option that most people are not aware of (that I personally consider the best way to die), is to simply fast (i.e., no food but with water) for the 30 or so days.

Thought this might not be an option 100% of the time - given the circumstances of the ailment.

This process allows you to meditate on the self, and to let go in a steady way, instead of ending in an abrupt halt.

It has been known to produce a sense of immense relief and oneness with everything.

Do you think people who are familiar with node js or backend development in general will have difficulty picking up django and python?
I guess Apple could 'survive' releasing a new generation of laptops which run slower than the previous ones to facilitate a user-invisible component sourcing decision, but it seems like a bad move.
While it is damning that Mayer didn't go to Stamos about this and went straight to the email team, it's hard to say whether she felt it was necessary to tell him, or was even allowed to, since we don't see the court orders and what they entail. It's really easy to be against this and play armchair preacher but this is something she probably had no choice in, in many ways.

Also, I'm wondering if this story is bigger because people love to hate on Mayer. I am certain this kind of thing happened/happens at Facebook, Google, Twitter, WhatsApp, etc., so it's confusing why this is so newsworthy. It's not really newsworthy that data from an email provider is sent to NSA under secret court orders and NSA can search the full text of it. Is the newsworthy part that she asked the team to do it without consulting the security team? My question would be, why wouldn't a manager from the email team consult the security team if they had the power to?

It just mentions a "lengthy serious sickness". Other sources (e.g. <https://snob.ru/selected/entry/114493>) mention him being seriously ill for at least three years before his death...
I don't really have a favorite, but recently I really enjoyed "8 Bit & '8 Bitish' Graphics-Outside the Box"[1]. The name didn't catch my eye, but then I learned that it was a lecture by the very same Mark Ferrari who made these[2] unbelievably beautiful color-cycling pixel art animations. Master of his art — definitely worth listening to!

Emacs has several, and since I tend to live in Emacs I never really noticed the whole Reader saga.

I would definitely be sad if I couldn't get my RSS feeds next to my NNTP and my IMAP in gnus.
I wonder if the data dump contains a smoking gun. While I could never vote for either of major party candidates for a variety of reasons, it would be nice if there were clear evidence of HRC's guilt or innocence in the emailgate matter.
It says Free during beta on the website, but doesn't say what happens after beta.

In any case, it looks nice. It could use a tabbed interface.

Could the decline be explained by the Hawthorne effect? It's been pretty well proven people behave differently when they know they're being studied.

Being subjects in the study could have affected their behavior far more than the presence/lack of cameras.

Daydream is limited to specific Daydream certified phones.
It was a common kit lens for the 5D Mk III, and AFAIK in the pairing the lens limits the camera (edit: from a pure optical quality perspective). It's not a bad lens at all, but clearly an allrounder with compromises and not a specialist. (And thus a good kit lens and it's not a surprise many people use it, since getting a zoo of better lenses is really expensive and a lot to carry around)
You're the classic argument against heavy PSA screening at a young age. Statistically it's probably a net negative what we're doing right now. My PC was actually caught with a digital (as in "finger") test, then followed up by a PSA.
If I was a manager and a music geek as I am now, I'd totally request integration of this thing with my repository, JIRA and Confluence :-)
Really? do they all use the same CPU socket? no updates required to motherboard? EFI? Apple's custom SMC firmware? power management? kernel work? etc.
How is the view degree in comparison to Oculus and the other ones? I heard it doesn't cover the full view.
I'm surprised the 40mm f2.8 isn't more popular, it takes great pictures, it's cheap, and physically using it is great (it really transforms how the camera feels because it's so small). Strongly prefer it to the 50mm f1.8, unless it's super dark.
:-) My bad. I didn't check. I have a Mark III but I didn't buy it with a lens so assumed they bundled something cheaper.
Shift blame, make counter accusations.
I love my N6, and if anything i'm afraid the PixelXL will be too small for me. I take comfort in knowing that the N6 can be a bit cumbersome at times.. despite me loving it, so maybe the XL will be perfect.
I do this too, a habit picked up when my kids were little and I didn't want to wake them up with loud movies. I'm surprised now, when I turn captions off, how much harder I have to concentrate on what I'm watching in order to keep track of what's going on.
Sorry, I thought you were saying that racism doesn't mean anything when anyone uses the term. I misunderstood.

Prior to Ferguson, nobody was collecting data on police shootings across the US. Now the press and some nonprofits collect it. The Washington Post has a database.[1] The Guardian has another one.[2] There's a site, "fatalencounters.org", trying to crowdsource this.[3]

The good thing is you can do both. Sometimes I like watching or speeding through a talk and then looking for books about it. I'm not necessarily looking to get enlightened or become an expert from a talk but rather I'm seeing a quick pitch for an idea or technology I can later research at length.
It'd be temporary and only for third-party apps, not Apple-supplied ones. But yes, I do agree that it's not worth it for them--this is part of what I mean by high fixed costs of switching.
As a web developer, my favorite recent talk is "Modern Layouts: Getting Out of Our Ruts" by Jen Simmons

...very inspiring if you're bored with the way websites have been looking for the past few years.
1) A new product standard that will be supported by all upcoming flagship Android phones. Your criticism is that they're announcing something ... new?

2) Providing a cheap VR experience for everyone seems pretty reasonable. It fills out the price/performance curve between Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR, and probably doesn't suck. Finally, since it's so cheap, they can literally give it away to all Pixel pre-orders.

Also, they're building on a VR platform established by Cardboard. While Cardboard was an obviously cheap experience, it was also a 20% project / experiment that I'm glad they released. Why not enable your developers to build fun / cheap experiences?
Are custom email on the roadmap? Would be really useful then.
Good thing Nest got broken out from under Google! Just in time for all its resources to get sucked back into Google.
It's a fair point, but "never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity".

Why does Google need to be portrayed in the light of Apple? Doesn't these merits stand to shine by themselves? Seems a bit anxious.
I'm waiting until someone does this with AWS Lambda and SES as Serverless app (which would make it easy to deploy without knowing AWS internals).
That's interesting, TIL. Nevertheless, being in their embassy seems to have an effect on what U.K. authorities are willing to do.
Great! Appreciate all your work. :)
Its difficult to quantify teleology, but people make the obvious judgements. What it does is track police initiated violence. What it's for, given the context it exists in, is almost certainly to advance public acceptance of the fact that police violence is often racially motivated. The writer furnished sufficient background to justify this inference, even if you're coming at this issue as a complete blank slate.
You would actually kill someone after using it in current edition - yourself.
I don't think that the aim is to compete with the iphone directly. I am already a Pixel owner - the laptop variant - and I see 'Pixel DNA' in this phone product.

The Google Pixel laptop was there to further Google's own thing, not compete with the MacBook. The laptop has better hardware than the Apple or PC offerings - a 3:2 touchscreen in super-hi-res, amazing speakers under the keyboard, the nicest feeling keyboard ever, the finest of trackpads and a gorgeous aluminium case that just feels nice to touch. For what it does - surf the internet - nothing connects to wifi so easily and scrolling big pages is a very speedy thing. Yet you cannot run Word or Photoshop so it is generally reviewed as a crazy, expensive machine.

So I see some of this design philosophy in this phone. The AMOLED screen and the exceptional camera are features I would expect from a Pixel gadget, not a Nexus gadget.

Is the Pixel phone really just an over-priced Nexus phone? Not at all, it is about raising the bar as to what is possible. The VR hardware needs this phone.

Despite today's hype this will not sell in iPhone quantities, even with Verizon as a carrier. It is too expensive for that.

When you look at how much you do get for GBP 300 from Motorola and whomever else I would say that the Nexus idea has worked, there are plenty of phones out there that are excellent value for money even if not with all the latest flagship features.
Even if all of that were true, Assange is NOT a US citizen. He cannot go beyond a journalist's 1st Amendment right and he also cannot be a traitor to the US. He is an Australian that operates from outside the US by publishing (often secret) material that his sent to him by whistleblowers without any coercion or payment.
That saying really does not work when the you're talking about one party potentially being malicious and a completely different party being stupid. It's also worth pointing out that malice and stupidity aren't necessarily an either-or.
Cast and Shoot
That's exactly Russian tradecraft - they build up trust with the leaks of true information, then layer in false, damning allegations.

We'll likely see the worst lies directly before the elections, so as to aid Trump the most.
As a relatively infrequent HN user, what is the time limit up to which stories can be re-posted and end up as new stories?

I posted this yesterday on HN, and am glad to see some discussion around it. Just curious that the new submission didn't get mapped back to the old one – I've usually get linked back to an already posted article if I repost it after a short time.
No, there are many choices, each with subtle distinctions. What's your definition?

Nature does not strictly define species, and how does it provide evolutionary insight exactly?
According to this thread:

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3180987/ps4-pro-equ...

The GPU in the PS4 pro will be the RX480 desktop-equivalent graphics card. This has a slight lower passmark than the Nvidia GTX 970, which is the minimum spec for the HTC Vive.

Of course, it's not like and like - you can't just compare cards like that, and Playstation have the advantage of controlling the hardware and software configurations (which has always been an advantage for consoles), but saying it easily has the resolution and framerate sounds suspect - I expect it will just about have the resolution and framerate.

I'll find out in a week - I'm going to the Playstation Future of Gaming Tour, and I'll be able to compare it to the Vive with a 970.
Got is yesterday!
And thank you for replying so nicely — it's a sign that HN hasn't yet become /. or reddit. Best!
I don't trust this source anymore, Russian attribution or not.

Sources with a serious political bone to pick around an election can too easily plant or modify data in these "dumps" to craft an artificial narrative. With this "Guccifer 2.0" bit, we are past the land of hacktivism and well into the land of information warfare, where misinformation is a tool more powerful than real information when dosed correctly.

If this was a random dump a few years ago, I'd be more likely to trust it, but let's also remember that we don't really have much of a way to verify this stuff. That could be a directory structure on some random user's hard disk full of fabricated documents for all we know.

EDIT: I'm also very curious to see how fast "Guccifer 2.0" stops their anti-Clinton "hacktivism" as soon as the election is over. I'd get a great chuckle out of the Russians hanging some patsy out to dry saying "look, we caught him!" in a big show of false alliance.
Sure... though worth noting that it would be in the interest of some for that verification process to take absolutely as much time as possible.
> Well then they should have made that more clear.

"Usually" generally means that they are exceptions, but they are less common. There's no lack of clarity here, you are just ignoring that word.
Yup, VR games always seemed so much more constrained in some way.
That depends... Some family members are not good people... Unfortunately.
The newsworthy thing was that this was a trigger word or similar ongoing filter that the surveillors wanted copies on sight of, and not a specific email account.
I assumed I'd feel that way too but now I'm not so sure after watching "TransFatty Lives". It's on Netflix if anyone is curious.
I find the search capabilities in most messenger apps appalling. I have to remember to copy/paste important things to somewhere else because a week later I cannot find them anymore. Whatsapp seems a good exception.
So a local admin can gain extra access to the platform? Can someone explain why this is a bad thing?
I have a Vive and have tried VR porn. There's not a lot of say. You get some pretty bad uncanny valley issues and having a first person view of porn is weird and unatural and frankly unsexy. Porn that 'happens to you' doesn't really work.

I don't think porn VR is the killer app people think it is. Perhaps in a few generations especially in conjunction with tele-dildos or robot sex dolls or somesuch, but that's a lot to ask when ordinary 2D photos and videos get the blood flowing with much less hassle.
Atom is just a more precise and accurate protocol. For example, timestamps in RSS feeds come in all shapes and sizes, whereas Atom has an unambiguous time format.

I would want to validate the product before I start messing around with this kinda tech thing, but the idea is, if I have enough users then want to add support for some extra elements like you've mentioned, I'd support those elements in Atom feeds, so if publishers want those extra elements to show up in my site/app they'd have an incentive to switch formats.
Ubiquiti Unifi Access Points just work.

I too have bought a variety of high end consumer devices (for a small business), and they all crash or randomly drop out.

Disable wifi radio on router, plug in Unifi AP, solid connection.

They are annoying to configure, but have been so worth it.

Apple AirPort has also been rock solid.
Every talk from Jake Archibald is insightful and entertaining. His talks about offline caching were hilarious.
It's a currency. I bet that unicode has glyphs for even more obscure currencies.
My daughter and I bought this and really liked it. Meant to try and build a simple VR demo with it, but we never got around to it. She drifted away from programming and more into art. Maybe she'll come back around again.
DevOps for Startups
This may seem like a small nitpick to some, but I think it's extremely important that people remember that, at least in the US, rights are reserved for The People; the government, by definition, does not have rights, only authority (explicit and implicit).
Yup, you don't even see the "holy trinity"(35L/85L/135L) anywhere in the top 10. Neat data aggregation but there's a lot more that goes on in lens selection.

> They claim the best phone camera yet it doesn't have OIS

The video stabilization looked really good in the demo at the Google event [1] despite using the smartphone's gyroscope [2] to do what the camera would do if it had OIS.

> Though there’s no optical image stabilization, Google tied the camera to the gyroscope to eliminate the hand-shake “jelly” effect in video.
The graphic showing rating of camera's is super disingenuous [0]

The gap from 88-92 is actually shorter than the gap between 86-89.

The PSVR also has lower resolution, so that level of power goes further than it would with the Vive.

Do you work for Google ? Because they sure aren't my colleagues and I am closer geographically to Sony and Samsung.

The point is that we've seen this strategy before (Nexus) and there's not much in value add over some generic cheap Android phone.
>> Freenet ... which has led to conviction by police, unfortunately.

> Just for using it? That's crazy! Do you have a source?

Hm, I admit fault, hastily writing the above reply. I do not have sources for actual convictions, so what I wrote is not validated.

s/has led to/may risk/

Source[1] that I read prior to my comment, which is under the thread[2] "Suspect jailed indefinitely for refusing to decrypt hard drives". The discussion was along the lines of, if you have encrypted data, and the state "knows" it has illegal content, your not decrypting it makes you liable for it. Thus the extrapolation to use of Freenet, which forwards encrypted content from others, and is heavily littered with CP[3], according to HN commenters.

Yes, huge false positive rate. My urologist said this: "Statistically there's a good chance you don't have cancer. The problem with statistics is: they may not apply to you."

In my experience it's really hard to keep your mind on the public health statistics of the nation when it's you sitting in the doctor's office.
Nice try, PG.... You still haven't replied to my emails btw

[Keybase] What is it useful for?
I have a keybase account, but I don't know what to do with it.
Someone how has an account could give me an idea?
Its a great lens. It would be my pick for the best Canon lens as an all-arounder (either that or the 24-70L, but iirc that one is much heavier). The sensors are so good nowadays that you can shoot well in low light even with the f/4 aperture.

I'm curious about when you believe capitalism was "invented". Post-Einstein?
Probably the wrong time to say but.

Is or has there been any way I could purchase a new phone assign it my number and have 2 phones ringing at same time? I would have a side by side comparison in each pocket?

Like I buy pants. But 4 at the store and return 3
HTC One wasnt a nexus.
Why is no one Talking about the VR Debate?
I've got to agree with this a lot. With email, the information is forcefully pushed to you, with RSS it's a lot easier to be anonymous and request the data only for the channels you want.

I'm rather tired of people calling it dead when there is no supporting body that is required to keep the protocol alive.
Why Every Startup Should Steal Bill Simmons's Launch Strategy for the Ringer
I have no opinion on whether this leak is "real", but if it is, Pay To Play almost certainly refers to this: https://www.sec.gov/rules/final/2010/ia-3043.pdf and not illegal pay-to-play schemes.
I had that fear after loving my Nexus6 dual speakers for so long, and it can still be nice at times _(mainly for volume level)_, but lately i've just been bluetooth'ing all my music from my Nexus6. The speakers just sound _(mildly!)_ crackly at loud levels, it makes me wonder if they were damaged from my loud playing. So, i guess i'm saying i don't really trust nice built-in speakers for playing music, and am willing to go back to a mono speaker knowing i can just use bluetooth instead.
