The problem is that with a water bottle, you can immediately see it's some kind of liquid on the x-ray and disallow it during inspection, whereas the Note 7 isn't immediately apparent when inspected from afar. While I don't agree with the liquid ban, it's much easier to ban a liquid than it is to ban a specific model of a phone.

20% is very low. We use machine transcription at work, and although the per-word confidence of machine algorithms varies wildly given the quality of the audio and the speaker's mannerisms. It can easily get into the 80% range with good audio, especially televised audio where people are close to microphones and there is not a lot of non-speech noise.

While this could prevent some of the accidents, I'm not sure if the sum effect would be better. Allow me to explain:

According to Google, the average cycling speed is 15.5km/h and the average car length is 4.5m. Surely these will differ a lot from area to area, but they're good for a ballpark measure. This means it takes a cyclist about one second (4.5m / 15.5kmh = 1.05s) to pass a parked car.

Even if you have a car with sensors, if the cyclist is out of your sensors' reach (behind the corner of the previous car), once you open your door, that one second will not be enough for the cyclist to either stop or change course.

What might happen, however, is having sensors could lead to more reckless behavior along the lines of "why do I need to look, I have sensors?".
If loops/branches/switch statements weren't easier we wouldn't use them in place of goto.

The reason its harder to debug is because its harder to visualize/understand.
Great, a solution that boils down to "bikers can be safe from just one of many mortal dangers, if and only if every single driver learns this new habit and does it right every time".

I want solutions in which safety doesn't depend on perfect behaviour from people at minimal risk (drivers), like physical separation of lanes.
Einstein made a small improvement to Newton.

People seem think think this allows our current theories to be wrong.....

Perhaps there might be small issues with Einstein theories, personally I doubt it, but, to me, I really don't think small fixes to the theory will explain this stuff away.
Is 10X solely about quantity? I like Asimov, but his stuff is pretty simple. On the other hand, Tolkien didn't write a lot, but it's a lot deeper. Was Tolkien not 10X? Then again, what do you need? CRUD apps probably want an Asimov, but a site that needs high reliability or high scale probably wants a Tolkien.
Samsung Electronics doesn't make the batteries - but Samsung SDI do, along with Chinese Amperex Technology (for the third sold in China). My understanding is that both devices with SSDI and with Amperex batteries have caught on fire (IIRC there have been failures inside and outside of China), so maybe a chassis design defect subjecting the batteries to unexpected strain?

Samsung SDI also manufacture iPhone batteries.
That depends entirely on how you fall off your bike, which depends on your speed and numerous other factors. The problem here is that it's pretty hard to tell after the fact whether a death would have been prevented by a helmet. We can guess, speculate but it's hard to measure the exact forces exerted - and also how someone's biological material will react to that (the brain).

In all my reading around this issue, those that don't want to wear helmets don't tend to wear them for fashion reasons, and interpret the stats they read to insinuate that helmets don't save lives. They don't like how it looks, feels, or that they will be teased for wearing one. I'd rather live to see the next day than care about what a helmet looks like.

And one other point to end on, it's not just deaths we're talking about here. Many people have suffered brain injuries from the impact of falling off their bike. Imagine there was something you could put on your head that would prevent that impact.
In SF at least, new buildings are not under rent control
I had a friend working in speech recognition at Nuance for several years. I'm trying to remember what sort of accuracy he quoted to me about two years ago. It was something large like 80% or something and that getting the last stretch of accuracy was really hard with the techniques they employed back then. That figure may have been for a very specific application, which was a lot of phone menu stuff. He then moved on to Siri at Apple.
I'm not in charge of setting our hiring bar so it doesn't really matter. Given my druthers I'd give a candidate a not particularly difficult multi-hour coding project just to show that they can build something and would like to have a conversation with them that shows both breadth and depth of knowledge.
I don't understand their class definition. Does the article imply that the class divide based on income/wealth is dead and now there is a divide based on profession instead?
Properly calibrated OLEDs look at least a lot better to my eye than any LCDs. Much deeper blacks and more pure colors that go past what an LCD can reproduce.
HTC is done... they accepted to make google pixels without any htc branding. It's not something a healthy company could accept
From what I've read online the newer generation Samsung displays, those from say the last 1-2 years, have supposedly made big strides in dealing with "burn in". Apparently it's much less of an issue now, although still more common than LCD. Also, if I understand correctly, OLED doesn't actually suffer from "burn in" like LCD does, instead it's more "burn out" as the pixels, particularly the blue ones, degrade faster than other colors.

For what it's worth I have a Nexus 6P which uses a Samsung display and I haven't noticed any burn in yet, although I'm probably a very moderate user so that's not really saying much.
Not to mention the internal "world model" has been more-or-less fleshed out throughout the years (see http://inform-fiction.org/manual/html/ch3.html).

They used to be, but it's all tendered now; they lost the national contract, but still provide to most provinces and municipalities.
Although there are separated roads for bikes and cars we do still share roadspace.

The major difference I think is that in the Netherlands there is a law which gives vulnerable road participants (pedestrians, bicycler) the benefit of the doubt whenever there is an accident. Even if the guilt is proven to be with the bicycler, the car driver should have paid more attention.

One way this is good for bicyclers because they are protected but on the other side they do tend to be more aggressive and reckless in their driving.

Like this tool it doesn't support One drive for business though. Microsoft have made it very difficult for open source programs to use one drive for business as far as I can see. It has the most complicated registration procedure I've ever seen - even Microsoft admit it is too complicated!
Like said; most accidents I have seen with near fatal results (mostly in Amsterdam where that happen(s)(ed) quite a bit), the helmet would've helped nothing at all. It's usually someone falling and then getting driven over/into. But yeah, I have no stats; not sure if anyone has, about if they do any good.

I also said for good or bad; like smoking or drinking or processed meat eating; you collect the info you can and believe, interpret it and make your choice; it's your life. I'm just saying that most people I know wouldn't be caught dead (...) with one of those things on even if it would mean they are less safe.
There's strangely little information about it on the internet about it, I don't know why. I recommend going to the library for some paper books. "Road to Heaven: Encounters with Chinese Hermits." Might be a good book to start with, although it's not just about Taoism.

The true wonder there, I think, is the science and craft of photolithography.

Moore's law wouldn't have had the constant march forward it had for 40 years, if shrinking transistors smaller wasn't just the "simple" matter each time of either developing a slightly more accurate projection system; or discovering a quicker-reacting, less-runny, more-durable photoresist chemical.

We're running into the limits of this approach now, and having to look for other interesting tricks, but there was a lot of low-hanging fruit in photolithographic precision, there for us to pluck, and pluck, and pluck, year after year.
You can control how vigilant the other person is, but you can control how vigilant you are.

In a bike lane, right as far away (to the left) of parked cars as possible. That already gives you a safety buffer. And if you happen to be in tight valley of parked cars, then slow down and be extra cautious, or ride fast and take the lane. And wave to a driver every now and then to say thanks. They're people with places to go, too.
Mobile devices have been using custom-desgned batteries for the last 20+ years.

In this case, the battery manufacturer couldn't meet these particular design constraints.
When Fortune 500s start adopting a technology, it can be considered ripe and stable. Big companies move slow for a reason. You wouldn't want your banking site to pull the newest javascript magick, but something to do dull-looking business logic, and be rock solid. You brought up virtualization. That started in the '60s. It too 40 years for the technology to get to a level where it is widespread and adopted by everyone and their cat.

We will see if Docker and other container technologies will get their hold in industries other than startups. For now, all the people who use it that I see are the cool kids on the block in their hoodies. I think boring technology is good technology in that it provides value and stability for everyone. I am yet to hear of one Docker adoption where at scale the company saved more than a three digit sum year-on-year. Remember that you also pay an extra for sysops folks who run these things, and they will ask a higher price because the tech is hip!

For me, I'll stick to VmWare and kvm for now.
This adds to Samsung's long covered up history of phones that kill SDcards, bloated batteries, uncompliant USB spec connections, under-specced voltage regulators throughout, cheap USB chargers suspected as built to fail, screen colour imperfections and second hand parts discovered in new phones discovered during new phone tear downs. They regularly spend so much more money on advertising on bus stops and trains than they ever have on r&d for any product. The parts they sell to other vendors for rebranding etc... are almost always custom, higher grade built to order parts, for example their nvme pcie drives sold to Apple are built to much higher standards and they run completely custom Apple firmware, and guess what? They don't fail or fire.

Samsung are a straight out dodgy company - they're the Microsoft of hardware but with better advertising, unfortunately targeted towards people of slightly lower social status often.
Nice animation video
Bicyclists should not be able to share the road with drivers in the cities unless they vote to become a primarily bicycle-based cities. Bikes were not meant to share the road with cars.

I often see bicyclists ambling along in front of me at 20 m.p.h. and even if they're to the side of the road I still have to slow down to avoid any risk of hitting them, with cars coming up behind me. I'm usually forced to change lanes on short notice, which is dangerous.
Not only in The Netherlands, in most European cities actually.

And if you go down to the Mediterranean countries even on motorbikes, not everyone wears on at least on city traffic.

Regarding bike helmets, they usually only protect if you fall vertically on your head, making their protection capability highly questionable.

They offer zero protection over getting hit by a car or falling off the bike.
I think what eknkc suggested was that the cyanide was to be applied to ivory which had already been collected, not on live elephants.
It's not hard to be going fast inadvertently. The worst bike accident I was in involved me coming down a hill, stopping at the bottom on what turned out to be an invisible bump, and flying over my handlebars. I broke my collarbone upon landing, but if I hadn't been wearing a helmet it would have been a lot worse. It just seems foolhardy to me to ride a bike without a helmet, like driving a car without a seatbelt.
Ask HN: Does anybody need 1.7M screenshots?
Hi HN,

I just saw that one of my projects [1] which is constantly crawling websites, is still making screenshots in addition of each website. I completely forgot about the screenshots thing as I do not utilize them anymore.

It is in total around 1,790,000 full-page screenshots from sites that were posted on reddit, hacker news, tweets, financial news, since Jan 2014.

Don't ask me to open-source them and make them available for download. I dare not to get involved in any licensing issues or whatever.

They are on an S3 Bucket. Just got a bill from Amazon...

If you'd like to have them or you have any idea what I can do with them, outside of deleting, contact me at thomas@newscombinator.com

People cycling as fast as they can wear helmets, this is usually seen at the weekends when a few people swap their city bike for a racing bike and ride round the countryside.

Motorists who enjoy racing also wear helmets when speeding round the race track, but don't wear them on the commute.

No doubt deaths around be prevented if car occupants wore helmets, but it's not considered risky, just like routing cycling.

There are plenty of ways to have an accident that don't involve face-planting. The one time I flew over my handlebars, I landed on my left shoulder (breaking my collarbone), and my helmet probably prevented me from getting a concussion when the side of my head bounced off the road.

Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Time (2012)
A quick explanation of what this is, because it took me a bit to figure it out: it appears to be an interactive fiction engine written in Clojure. The linked example game is running through ClojureScript in the browser, but the engine also works in the terminal.

Here's a quick link to the main code file defining the rooms and actions for the example game: https://github.com/facundoolano/advenjure-example/blob/maste.... I doubt I'm the only one that likes looking at this type of example first when looking at an interactive fiction engine, and it may help some people confused by the game.

The history of interactive fiction and Lisp is surprisingly intertwined. To the best of my knowledge, all of the original Infocom games were written in ZIL [0], an idiosyncratic Lisp variant that was meant to be a more portable version of the programming language used to write the original mainframe Zork, MDL—which was apparently designed by some of the same people who worked on Scheme and Common Lisp [1].

There appears to be an active but still incomplete open source compiler for ZIL written in C# [2], and a few Common Lisp experiments, but not many mature projects combining interactive fiction and Lisp.

I hope projects like this one catch on more. I've had trouble grasping other interactive fiction engines, which I often feel are trying to please programmers and writers but hitting an awkward space in between. Lisp's "code is data" idea seems like it could be a more graceful way of hitting that balance.

You're missing friends on Twitter. I use it a lot because a lot of my friends are there; it's sort of like an asynchronous semi-public IRC channel where I decide who's in it. They, and whatever random thoughts they happen to feel like broadcasting on Twitter, are the "content".

It's a social network. If you're not being social it's pretty goddamn boring.

It's not without its flaws - nuanced, lengthy discourse is pretty much impossible thanks to that 140-character limit - but it's been a great way to keep up with my friends on an informal basis.
The Lumia 925 from 2013 had a gorgeous OLED display, and no burn-in or ghosting problems that I noticed for a couple of years.

They did take care of shifting the (beautiful, built-in) nightstand clock screen a bit around, I think.

(Adjustable color reproduction, you could go for "vivid" if you wanted, normal was fine.)
I've used git and mercurial extensively, but only with git have we regularly had the need to summon The Expert. With git I have to tell new users "don't use a flag or setting if you think you know what it does, look it up". That has not been needed for mercurial.

One particular good feature is the concept of a commit phase. It makes is crystal clear when rewriting history is allowed, and more importantly, when it isn't.

> So the value of ivory going up as a result of being tougher on poachers would be proof that it is working.

Have you taken Economics 101? You do remember what happens when the selling price of a good gets too high? Lots of profit to be made will encourage poachers to hunt. They will take even larger risks (e.g. Being shot by drone) to obtain ivory since the profits are too high.
What's the issue with having roommates and not permanently occupying a parking spot?
> So where does all this processing power go?

Security, redundancy and isolation. Often times you have an extra server not because you need the processing power, but to separate things for security reasons, to provide failover and to avoid noisy neighbors.
Hah, thank you for the correction - too early in the morning :)
"The advertising potential is incredible."

Maybe some things don't need to have advertising crammed into every possible corner. Maybe some things don't need to be monetized to the maximum extent possible.
I'm fairly sure the new OLED displays from Samsung can produce extremely accurate colors. I don't remember exactly where I read so, perhaps AnandTech, but I believe the Samsung displays were considered some of the most accurate smartphone displays prior to the new iPhones.

I should note that for some reason it seems like most smartphone manufacturers, basically everyone aside from Apple, way oversaturate their displays, this is especially true in the case of Samsung. Even the Nexus 6P display looked horrendous to me out of the box. Fortunately there is a setting in the developer options to enable sRGB mode which makes a huge difference.

Regarding power consumption, I think OLED mostly loses out on efficiency when generating white backgrounds, but I'm not sure how much of a battery hit this causes in normal use scenarios.

As to what's so great about OLED, for me, as someone who frequently uses their phone in relatively low light situations, I absolutely love the deep blacks and the fact that when I have the phone on low brightness using a dark theme it barely produces any ambient light. On that note, Google seriously needs to introduce a system wide dark theme. I don't have an iPhone but I'm really interested to see if/when Apple adopts OLED whether they redesign iOS to take advantage of it. I know many people dislike the bright white UI of iOS and Android.
