The Only Nightclub App You Need
Have you ever wished you’d seen more friends at the bar?
Have you ever gone to a poorly attended club?
Have you ever spent too much money on a night out?
How about been rejected by someone who you try talking to?
Well, most of us can say yes to all of those things. In fact, #4 is especially prominent in my life…Fortunately, there’s a new app that can solve these problems. It’s called Locus and it’s essential for anyone who wants to kick their night life up a notch. How? Simple! Let me elaborate.
Locus features the ability for users to RSVP to a club or bar for an upcoming night. Once they’ve RSVPd, they can see a list of other users who have also RSVPd to the same venue on the same night. Then, they can browse profiles and request to chat — to get the ball rolling before they even make it to their destination.
This feature also allows for users to see where their friends are going, or avoid poorly attended clubs. Heck, I have a few ex’s who I’d like to avoid, too.
Finally, Locus can help users save money by allowing subscribed venues to upload promotions directly to the app… These could include drink specials, happy hours, and more! Just imagine — having the clubs / bars in your city competing for YOUR service!
If you’re like me, and often make it to the bar, only to wish you were back home sleeping… Then download Locus in December, which is when its expected to release on iPhone and Android.

You can get the English even closer to the French by saying "parking is available".
I've heard aozora for blue sky many times, so it's true but not used as a substitute in every case.

One of my favorite confusing words is charenji, or "challenge", which essentially means "to try [doing something difficult]". So a Japanese tourist couple shows up at an American bungee jump and they tell the guys, "we want to challenge!" which sounds like a mistaken version of "we want _A_ challenge" in English.

So the junior bungee jump guy looks over at his boss, and says, "hey...these two say they want a challenge..." not realizing they just want to try a normal bungee jump.
See also: "al fresco", which in England means "dining outdoors" and in Italy "being in prison". I wonder if it's because eating English food under the English weather can be considered punishment on the level of incarceration...?
Isn't the point more about concealing who is sending the message in the first place?

Nice idea!

Is the chatbot implementation intended as a prototype or the final product? I think it keeps the barrier to entry low and it's got a bit of fun novelty value to it, but the value in your (great) idea comes entirely from the fact that it's quick and painless to use, and it could be 10x quicker and less painful with virtually any interface besides a chatbot.

Mobile keyboards suck, and nothing highlights that more than seeing a cool idea that could deliver a good value to me by simply asking me to tap one or two large-ish buttons once per day, but that I instead need to chat with.

Edit: I realize there's a large personal preference component to this as well. I personally would rather have a button or two to tap, but I do see how the chatbot-powered anthropomorphization could be a very effective motivator for people who like that.

Academic studies questioning current dietary advice (Nov. 2014)
At least in Argentina (not sure about other Spanish-speaking countries) "handy" is used for walkie-talkies, but not cell phones. I wonder if it comes from the German use of that word, or if both languages borrowed it from somewhere else.

Checking the Wikipedia article for walkie-talkie just now, it seems the formal name for it is "handheld transceiver", so it makes sense that "handy" would derive from that.

Edit: I was too lazy, scrolling down a bit on the same article mentions and explains the term "hand[y|ie]".
"I just didn't see any real discussion on abuse...anywhere...and was wondering what was being discussed in regards to using and redefining the word."

"[We are in the thread about people just making shit up and publishing it, right?]"

I already corrected that and you're still focused on the use of the word instead of the tactics we're saying Fiske (and others) used. The word was a tiny point in that which I already owned up to as a mistake or missing clarification.

What's your position on the characterization by Fiske of anyone that disagrees with her or doesn't use channels people like her control to post criticisms as (all the negative connotations like "smear tactics" or "terrorists" here)? And do you agree that scientists should only be allowed to do what established names in academia say (status quo) and be automatically labeled as supporting the same, negative things for any form of dissent? Or publish dissent however they choose so long as there's evidence like in the counterpoint?
What was the most magical moment of your life?
A lot of this comes down to a few things... know when you need something and put it off for as long as you can. Build the simplest, easiest thing to understand and works from the get go. Some duplication is better than layers of abstraction that provide very little value. In the end, it comes down to experience.

There's a reason more experienced devs push back against a lot of "enterprise" patterns being introduced early on. More often than not, they don't provide value, make things harder to follow, and add unneeded complexity making it harder to change later.
I'm not very political and I haven't decided who to vote for yet, but I don't understand why the tech industry is so anti-Trump.

He seems like a relatively sincere and smart guy to me, and some of his policies seem to be better for business.

Is it because of tougher immigration laws? Are there other reasons based on his policies, or is it mostly just emotional?
> from the literal translation of the Chinese word

Well, they both refer to hands, I guess. The Chinese word is 手机 shouji "hand machine". "Phone" is 电话 dianhua "electric speech". Those two words aren't related.
They're looking at the "Items Sold" number, and comparing that to the count of items in the cart. They may also be looking specifically for expensive items, to make sure there wasn't a substitution made.
It would be interesting to benchmark it against the real thing.
YMMV, I guess. I thought they laid it out all pretty clearly.
For one person.. not for a few dozen... It's easy enough to pick the apparent best from the available pool much faster.

Also, there's the cost of existing staff in interviews... if you only have 2-3 devs, and you're keeping them all in interviews with multiple candidates, you're not getting work done.
Release the algorithms!

In fairness though, it sounds like the point you and others are often making is this. Humans are now considered dumb, bias and unreliable. So we need to invest in some kind of external policing system (AI) to run our world for us and make sure we're doing it right. Basically establish reliance on something external to ourselves?

This is sad because it sounds like we're losing faith in ourselves to evolve for the better and hope the machines can do a better job at self-improvement ?

I'm generally curious about your point of view, sometimes I'm confused with the enthusiasm people have about this aspect of AI? Is it a form of distrust and dislike of society that makes us want to put faith in robots? A kind of adult angst?

I worry because we could be barking up the wrong tree if this is the case.
"these restrictions are totally undocumented, so programmers will have to either work with the primitives or cross their fingers that their code will compile each day."

That's a great expansion it being undocumented. Worked wonders for Microsoft's strategy of lock-in. We're going to have to make sure the CPU and platform's API's are considered copywritten on top of that so they might not be... legally allowed... to clone or port it without paying us. We could collect royalties on a BrainFuck CPU for our lifetime plus an arbitrary number of years decided by Congress reps collecting bribes.
Why so we have to discuss individual's political views? Why is nobody wanting to discuss Clinton contributors? In this election cycle being a Trump supporter is more likely to be an anti-Clinton vote than truly for Trump.

Isn't it nice to be able to go somewhere and not discuss the same [series of colorful expletives expunged] topics we can discuss everywhere else? It's not like HN has much of a unique take on the topic, at least from what I've seen. Well, except for maybe being more generally grammatical than the usual set of flamewars.

I second your proposal.

While I never post a comment on an article before reading it, I almost always read the comments before reading the article to avoid click baits. An brief one-line summary that serves the same role as an abstract would eliminate the need to read the comments first.

It might even help eliminate clickbaity titles in technical articles altogether.

Can you point to where they removed it. AFAICT it's still in full force. Your example of JS inside a UIWebView is true but anything else is not. The only allowed code loaded at runtime has to be either (a) already in the app or (b) executed by a WebView.

In other words you can't execute downloaded code in BASIC unless that BASIC is implemented in JavaScript running in a WebView

Is your app doing that?

From the current (as of 2016/10/16) app guidelines

2.5.2 Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code, including other iOS, watchOS, Mac OS X, or tvOS apps.

It's also more explicit in the developer license dated 2016/9/21

3.3.2 Except as set forth in the next paragraph, an Application may not download or install executable code. Interpreted code may only be used in an Application if all scripts, code and interpreters are packaged in the Application and not downloaded. The only exceptions to the foregoing are scripts and code downloaded and run by Apple's built-in WebKit framework or JavascriptCore, provided that such scripts and code do not change the primary purpose of the Application by providing features or functionality that are inconsistent with the intended and advertised purpose of the Application as submitted to the App Store.
So the "friction" conversation about a product like this is pretty interesting imo.

One one hand, the bot is easy to get started with: Almost everyone already has the software (assuming Jumper works on multiple chat platforms) to get started right away with very little friction or commitment (no "signup" required).

On the other hand, once you are started - the chatbot interface is certainly higher friction than a traditional app would be (say, with two big buttons as you suggest).

But the while the app approach is lower friction once you've started, getting people to download and install an app is quite tough. Have you seen the latest data on how many apps the average American downloads in a month? It's zero!!! Crazy eh? So that barrier is one I wanted to avoid.

In the end though, the reason I chose the chat platform and the reason it is the final implementation for Jumper is that I've been super interested in the power of conversational interfaces and their ability to change human perception. Don't get me wrong - the "chatbot" craze is pretty exhausting to me too and I feel most chatbot products/services could have been built in a more traditional interface and have been far more successful. In fact, I built a failed chatbot for analytics not long ago. But when it comes to motivating people to exercise, I think having a conversation with an "exercise buddy" is more likely to get people to exercise. I mean, if I didn't believe that, I would have just used one of the currently available fitness apps and set up simple reminders. Of course, I may be very wrong here haha. But so far it's working!
Naturally. :) Hmm, I wonder if there's an actual addressable market niche here?
> It's apparently a common phenomenon that language continues to evolve and grow in the native country, while in colonies and former colonies, people tend to become more protective and orthodox about the language.

Language continues to evolve and grow everywhere. What's going on isn't some impossible impulse in the Quebecois to conserve their language; they are trying to differentiate themselves from English-speaking Canada. The French in France don't need to worry about getting culturally absorbed in the way the Quebecois do.

Are the solver algorithms part of the standard library or part of the execution engine? i.e., are Solve/DSolve/etc. written in plain Mathematica code, or are they special somehow?

my two cents. I took a couple of French classes in Canada and I can vouch that those guys don't mess around; they are like French vocab nazis :-P so it's always "la fin de la semaine" and "courriel electronique". In contrast, one of my friends is "French" French. She got no issues saying "le weekend" or "e-mail."

When the French lost to the british in 177x-ish, people of Quebec were left to fend for themselves. They fought tooth and nail to preserve their culture and language and I think to this day there's still this inertia going on in the way modern French Canadians think.

Moreover, there has been a study/survey showing that isolated culturally homogeneous communities tend to heavy-handedly police (the US style) the use of their native languages. I wish I could find a link to that study :-(

As a native russian speaker living in the US i can actually confirm that the study seems to ring true; i dislike (very much so) when russian speakers start mixing in english words.
"My lay understanding is that any contract clause that a reasonable person would find unreasonable is by default not valid."

That understanding is entirely incorrect, unfortunately. While the law does provide for clauses that may be nullified or voided by either a court or existing case law, and does require a meeting of the minds and an exchange, simple "unreasonableness" is not grounds for voiding, nor is onerousness.

I read all of these architectures in research papers, but I'd really love to learn how to start iterating on them for a particular domain.
Awesome, and good reasoning all around. This is indeed absolutely worth a shot; you may have found a really great fit for a chatbot. I'll be keeping an eye on this one, congrats on shipping!

In terms of tech-related policies, he's against Net Neutrality (or was previously) [1], for NSA wiretapping [2], and for encryption backdoors [3].

And Bollea, who was the aggrieved party, is likely to receive nothing, either.

That whole affair left a dirty taste in my mouth. Denton and Gawker were textbook tabloid trash, but so many events pointed to Thiel being a puppet master pulling the strings (and Denton, however scummy, has a right to face his 'accuser'):

- after securing a win, withdrawing the cause that would have allowed Gawker's insurance to cover the damages (partially), thereby largely removing both Gawker and Denton's ability to pay damages, and;

- after Denton offered Bollea a share of Gawker, to be used so Bollea would get a share of the proceeds of the sale of Gawker (in light of the above), AND Bollea accepted this, a few words from Thiel-funded lawyers, and this, too, was withdrawn.

- Bollea settled with the person who actually leaked the tape to Gawker for FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. And instead got THIRTY THOUSAND TIMES that as an award from Gawker. Who wants to guess if his (or Thiel's, one and the same) lawyers didn't want a settlement?
You keep using that word ("disclaimer"), I do not think it means what you think it means.
This is the only method that has worked for me. There is no substitute for talking to native speakers every day.
In Swedish, a portable cassette play is (or was, who uses these anymore?) called a "freestyle". I have no idea what the etymology of that one is.

Then there is the old word for baguette (the French type of bread) that was called "pain riche". This is from the first restaurant in Sweden to serve it which was called "Riche". I think everybody have heard stories about Swedes in the 80's trying to order that in France and the confused look from the French. These days people use the proper French word to describe it.
