I've several children, and can no longer make Google accounts for their Chromebooks. All the phone numbers I have and control can no longer be used to register further accounts.

What happens to users that buy a new Android cell phone who's number has been burned by Google?
Kind of related, but any Googlers here? Can you please make Google send notifications whenever someone tries to log in to an account and is required to do anything other than typing in their username/password? I REALLY should know when someone is trying to respond to a 2FA prompt or answer my security questions or use SMS or email to reset my password... it's ridiculous that these don't all result in emails right now.
What you're saying is technically true, but for the vast majority of people it's about the convenience of not having to carry a second device.

In the same way that a real camera is better than a smartphone, convenience trumps quality.

I have a 3DS because I wanted to play Street Fighter, Tekken and Dead Or Alive on the go. But I don't always bring it with me. In fact, I only bring it with me on vacations. And when I'm out on the go with just my phone, well, I don't play anything at all - it's not a huge loss. FWIW, you can already do everything you mention and more on a 2DS/3DS with the right "accessories" and a little bit of time.
I've personally spotted many mistakes in the 3d view, mainly spacing ("oh, I thought this would fit but it doesn't look like it would"). It's not my first priority, but it would be nice to have.

Chrome content scripts can have permissions to make AJAX requests to any origin. Sure, it's not a straight-ticket to getting code native execution and installing malware on your machine, but it means an exploit against an extension with wide enough permissions could harvest your email and bank info.

IIRC this is basically the same way the PS Vita handles it. Although in that case you can definitely smell something fishy with the way those "custom" save cards are priced. It's only a tiny bit larger than a MicroSD card and has 1/2 the capacity of one? But twice the price?

Hopefully the cartridge usage in the Switch doesn't drive prices up too much because of it. I get that production is more expensive, but after a certain point there are definitely some questions about why standard flash storage solutions aren't good enough.

Tesla's market cap is $30bn, more than Renault, Mazda, Chrystler or Subaru (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9055885). If they execute well on the Gigafactory, they may apply a multiplier on this market cap, reaching above Toyota ($200bn), even with a tenth or a hundredth of their production. Why would it be more valued, per car produced? Because of its future potential.

> Why does the segment that Tesla dominates carry so much weight?

The stock market is adjusting for a <10% market share of ICE cars in 2050. It's a Schroedinger situation: If the <10% hypothesis is wrong, then we're all dead (more precisely: Half of us are living under giant cataclisms, the Gulf Stream has stopped, the costal cities are flooded, and our economy is so disorganized that we can't plan where the money will be), so markets don't need to account for this situation. So all Detroit/Toyota industries are slowly shrinking in comparison to Tesla, unless they adapt. It may be hard to imagine if you live in USA because they rely so much on cars for their lifestyle, but our civilization will get rid of petrol cars within our lifespan. This is also the genius of Musk: He saw a version of the future that is obvious but that no other American citizen could understand, and he executed on it. Hence the importance of travelling the world or meeting many people when we want to innovate.

By the way, maybe a sweeping change is preparing that the petrol generations can't foresee. We could imagine things like an international agreement on global warming suddenly reducing the worldwide production of cars. It's impossible today, but educated people may have good reasons to believe something like this will happen, in which case Tesla wins all.
It's an egregious journalistic fraud if they phrased it that way when what they really meant was "he claims he completed..."

It would be a scandalous.
Amusingly, the air-gap was a firewall on a chip. No air whatsoever. They got around it a few ways, including most effectively, by re-flashing it to just be a passthrough.

Based on that, I'd say anyone who is injured because of this in any way has a great claim against the company for lying about the equipment they provided.
Another possibility is to counter-offer with an offer like the following.

We will sell you the IP for $XXX,XXX (USD) and 2 months of PT work from each of the founders to ease the transition. Founders will stay on 3 days a week for the first month (at a rate of $2400 a week) and then down to 2 days a week for the second month (at a rate of $1800 a week). Primary purpose will be to do finish out in-progress features, update documentation and work with employees of the acquiring firm to do hand-offs.

This type of arrangement helps you hand if off and be able to put on your resume that you sold your start-up as compared to just saying that you shut it down. Second, it helps the acquiring firm to have a chance at a successful hand-off. Third, it gives you and your co-founders a transition time to look for other jobs without immediately going to zero income.
I don't think there is a lack of a unifying theoretical framework. Both the turing machine and the lambda calculus are well understood and the foundations of computer science (and are isomorphic to each other).

I think the problem is more that a gap exists between the theoretical framework and practical programming. For example have fun trying to formally verify Javascript code!

Interesting side-note: we are currently unable to prove that there is nothing more powerful than a turing machine, i don't know if its even provable (that smells like something undecidable).

Existing SFCTA members constantly squander transportation funds

When faced with 2 BART related measures on the ballot this year, this thought kept haunting me.

If they're asking for bonds to simply maintain the existing infrastructure, what are they doing with the operating capital? Bonds should be reserved for expansion.
Do you think the same thing should apply to other civil servants, or just to elected officials and the police?
A con is asking someone to pay for one thing and then doing something else with the money.
It's a continuation of scene. I think they were attempting a panorama where half was "before" and half was after, but the subject and feel of each side of the pano is just so different, that it hardly has a comparison effect!

For a true before/after, see these images:

http://kp.kinsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/before.jpg

http://kp.kinsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/after.jpg
That's the first thing I noticed and it made me laugh pretty hard.
Such nice editing software haha.
it's one long panoramic with the left side the before and the right side the after.
It's a panorama image split in the middle. What it lacks to be useful is that split bar should be a slider so you can see the before after effect on that image.

Can't speak for him, but I haven't. And I know others that haven't. Doing so only reflects an insecurity in your own opinion. I downvote for ad-hominems, or blatantly (easily verifiable) false claims.

It's actually a single wide shot with a bar down the middle. I agree that it's unintuitive.
This looks like a very well designed console and I appreciate that Nintendo takes chances does try to offer something different with each console release.

The crucial element that is going to determine whether I purchase this or not is will it support location-based gaming? Touchscreens, gyros, and cameras aren't necessary, but location based-gaming and the spontaneous, real-world social interactions it generates was the only reason I played Pokemon GO. I do understand that designing games with this in mind and making it fun for all players is a difficult if not impossible problem to solve for those who don't live in dense urban areas

I'm also disappointed that Nintendo isn't developing for VR yet. While I respect them for not following the herd, if any developer is going to lay the foundational design patterns for VR gaming, it's Nintendo. Mario 64 and Zelda: Ocarina of time did this for 3D.

It'll be interesting to see if this becomes more than a gimmick.
As a Project FI user, not an option unfortunately.
I love lamian. It's hard to find in the US (especially here in Minnesota) but there's one Szechuan place near that does a really nice dish with that type of noodles in chili vinegar sauce with crushed peanuts.
you say that but....
IMO there are a few factors to think about:

- Is it a substantial amount of money to you and the other founders? The signal to me is no based on referring to it as "bad acquihire".

- Are you still hyped to continue working on your product?

- How long do you have to stay...? Anyone can tough out a few months, but what if it's a year or more? Is that what your team wants to do? Is there a team consensus?

- One that's less important but still matters from an optics perspective for your CVs, your accelerator, etc is that you can call this a small acquisition or acquihire in the books, which doesn't have the same stigma as "failed".

There's no need to be the tech leader if you're making a great product that people love. The Wii reached out to customers that didn't previously play video games. It was quite amazing.

People who don't know about other franchises, and perhaps don't want the more mature subject matter of the three big franchises you mention, were more than happy with the fun a Wii gave them.

Los Angeles has a very bullish agenda for subway/metro expansion, with some lines already under construction. Even those currently being built, the timelines are extremely long. Purple line extension is due to be finished, if everything goes to place, by 2035.
That'd be nice, but Geary is not really a multi-lane road until you go west of Van Ness, and the main areas of congestion seem to be downtown, east of Van Ness.

The way the current metro light-rail is laid out is a good idea on paper: underground for the dense urban areas, and above ground where you can have space for a dedicated lane. If a potential Geary Metro was underground from Embarcadero to Japantown (Laguna or Webster), then above ground the rest of the way, I can see see a light-rail system working. Now let's find a politician with the clout to have Geary under construction for 5-7 years (optimistically).
Didn't Nokia try this already?

I'm pretty sure the camera world has settled into two kinds of cameras: cell phones for people who just need to take a few snaps, and DSLRs for people who need more features than can possibly fit in a cameraphone (flash hotshoe, changeable lenses, larger sensor, etc). DSLRs are cheap enough that cost isn't really an issue.

I doubt the results here will be any better than Nokia had.
No, they just change in their system the IMEI or ESN that phone number is registered to so all incoming calls and texts start going to the phone the attacker owns. It's just social engineering where you pretend to be the customer and tell them you need to transfer your number to a new phone.
I haven't read them all (there are thousands) but the emails I have read are mostly benign and reveal things about her and her team that perhaps while embarrassing or even impolitic, are hardly criminal.
US suburban stores can afford to have low markup and enormous selections because the square feet are basically free, and proximity to customers isn't much of a disadvantage because customers drive by default.

Once you've gotten used to this, paying the markup and dealing with the small selections necessitated by urban real estate costs is painful. It'd possible you'd find it perfectly normal, but someone raised in the US suburbs would probably not.

Depressed neighborhooods here are often considered food deserts as they have only fast food and convenience stores, but no supermarkets for miles.

I never put in my number into my Google account. Ironically, the only US number I have is via Google voice/hangouts. So they have it. It's just not associated. I'm not even sure if it would be allowed, as there'd be no way to use it as a 2-factor auth without actually being logged in.

I have no information one way or the other, but maybe the issue isn't that angular can do it, but that angular does do it. So any extension using angular is vulnerable by default.
Probably because "company values" are just a checkbox on the company marketing checklist.
>Salary ranges on job listings benefit employers not employees.

I guess that's why most companies in the US don't list salaries, out of the goodness of their hearts.

Ranges on jobs benefit employees. It's simple negotiation. You want the other person to put out the first number. If the employer is thinking $100K for a position, but a qualified candidate starts with $80K, they just saved $20K a year. If they put $100K, they started first, so an employee who would have taken $80K now gets $100K.

As a side note, all IT people should watch Pawn Stars, American Pickers or any reality show that is part negotiation. It will give you a feel of small things to help negotiate. If all IT people learned to negotiate better, everyone's salaries would go up.
You sound like an awesome developer. Would love to keep you in mind for projects down the road. Would you ping me at the email in my profile so I can have your information? Thanks.
Elected officials and the police. But my assumption is everyone is going to be tracked anyway, to some degree.

Basically, I think the cost of using facial recognition against the populace should be having it used against you. If the state is watching us, why can't we watch them back?

This is an extension, and possible inversion, of Heinlein's axiom that "an armed society is a polite society." I would rather that society arm itself with information than with bullets.
There is only one BART measure on the ballot, County measure RR.

SF Ballot measures are J and K and only apply to the SFMTA (in terms of the transportation portions). See http://www.sfcta.org/revenue-measure

In my opinion, these bond measures would benefit bay area transportation projects.
You provided no evidence for the hype claim but even then you are contradicting yourself:

Statement A: Tesla is just hyping autonomous driving since no technology can deliver fully autonomous driving right now.

Statement ~A: Low-cost LIDAR is available to any high-volume customer, of which Tesla is one, given Model 3 demand. And LIDAR can deliver fully autonomous driving.

The point simply being, I have a hard time believing that even with good-looking, cheap LIDAR being a possibility, as you claim, Tesla chose to go with an inferior sensor suite, for no apparent reason.

Actually our parts library is free and will always be free for designers. As an EE, I'm committed to this. We launched with this vision in October '13 and haven't wavered. Tens of thousands of hardware designers already use it, so if we wanted to switch to that approach, we would have done it by now. We do have Premium features for things that we can't give away for free (ex: on-demand requests for things like complicated connectors) but otherwise we have not wavered.

A few court vaugely related court-cases don't make a widespread and reliable principle. If there was such a doctrine it would depend on the presentation of the product, the importance of the software to the product, and the viability of the product if separated into parts.

Further, such a doctrine would allow you to buy the Tesla and remove the software they didn't want to license to you.

So no, that isn't how it is - that's how they want you to think it works so you don't even bother trying.

If I've misconfigured something, then it's news to me as to how. I've received 2FA texts from Google before, so I know that it used to work as expected, and I haven't been in my account settings for over a year. If something on my account has changed, then it's been out from under my feet without my understanding as to how.
Right; so instead they've built their security model around assumptions that other companies' (namely telcos) account processes are secure. That way Google can say "it's not our fault; we can't do anything about it!"

It's called externalizing your costs, and Google is exceptionally good at it.

In the same vein, Tesla offers unlimited free supercharging for its vehicles. This is a generous offer, that only works under the assumption that people use it responsibly. It would be quite unfair if someone ran his commercial fleet with it.

Of course this is easy to fix, but it would still result in either forbidding commercial use (without license) or metered supercharging.
