I think a big part of the friend code choice is their focus on younger gamers. I think Nintendo's intentionally tried to make it hard for people to become friends who don't know each other outside of the Nintendo ecosystem. They don't want to be seen as an avenue for children being taken advantage of, they don't want parents worrying about what their kids do on a Nintendo platform, etc.

I'm not saying it's the right call, or that in this day and age, we haven't moved past that in many respects, but I'm willing to bet that's a big part of their lack of online focus.

Did Hillary Clinton Reveal US Nuclear Secrets During the 3rd Debate?
Completely agree. How do we make it happen?
Meanwhile, their software game was pitch perfect during the Wii U and they released mostly excellent first party and arguably best in the franchise games, like Mario Maker, Splatoon, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, Yoshi's Wooly World, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, and Pikmin 3.

They even managed to get 3 new IP on the system, where in previous consoles they were berated for never coming up with new IP and simply rehashing things over and over again. Splatoon in particular looks like it will stick around for a long time, Mario Maker probably as well (they even mentioned possibly doing a Zelda Maker in the future...I really hope that comes true).
One issue with self driving cars in snow climates, at least in the area I live in, is that in addition to the issues that come with snow covered roads in the winter, the painted lines are often mostly or completely faded come spring and are not fully repainted until months after the snow has melted.
> So, if WikiLeaks starting dumping private emails for random people

Given what turkish-speaking people say about the so called erdogan leaks, wikileaks already has started indiscriminately advertising leaks of peoples private data, putting them at risk. see for example http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zeynep-tufekci/wikileaks-erdog...
Webpack Setup at Remix (YC W15)
I disagree that it will replace both. The DS brings ruggedness and a smaller form factor. I can't see me bringing this little flimsy tablet with probably max ~8 hours of battery life with me on one of my travels. My 3DS has had no trouble being thrown into a ruck and dragged across SE Asia needing a charge a week.
For the record I'm aware of people with 10s of TB in Amazon Cloud Drive without any issues. It is of course yet to be seen whether they'll pull a Microsoft and take it back.
Specs haven't been released, but nvidia has a press release claiming it is powered by a custom tegra processor: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2016/10/20/nintendo-switch/

It's probably safe to assume it will be a customized version the latest or an upcoming model. I believe this puts the system in the PS4/Xbone ballpark.
I personally feel this is going to be mediocre at best:
1. Limited appealing to main stream consumers
2. Awkward physical spec, tablet's down fall pretty much proved that how big a mobile device should be
3. No one would want to write games for this...
That's a smart strategy.

Lots of consoles are going to be sold this xmas, so Nintendo announcing now may help hold people off from switching to msft/sony.

The only better strategy would have been an Xmas launch, a spring launch means they aimed for xmas but the schedule slipped.
>John Deere tells you what you can't do to your tractor; Tesla Motors tells you what you can't do with your car

I don't think there's any difference. In order to make your Tesla able to drive for Uber, you're going to need to do something to it. That's what they're prohibiting. If you yourself want to drive for Uber, they are fine with that. But they don't want you modifying the car to drive for Uber by itself.
Mostly true, but improved graphical fidelity can add to the immersion and experience. But also, compute power doesn't mean solely graphical compute - more power means more advanced AI, faster menus, higher maximum players in multiplayer, and so on.
Absolutely.

I'm not in Italy but in China. 'Lamian' or literally 'pulled noodles' are a staple dish for my own and colleagues lunches on most days. Staples in North China are largely wheat or corn based.

Dough is usually pre-kneaded to the consistency the chef prefers. 'Cut' is then done by pulling, doubling-up, re-pulling, etc, until reaching the right thickness that the stand desires.

The article mentions su filindeu as being thin and stretched, with drying into a web-like layered structure. This is certainly going to be interesting and a bit different.

But this process of pulling and cutting varies chef-by-chef. Arguments break out a lunch between colleagues who prefer 'thin' noodles vs 'regular' vs 'think'. Going to a single place and ordering a preference just doesn't work. 'thin' where a chef makes the dough thick may be thin in diameter, but not in mouth texture. 'thick' (or wide and thick) in a restaurant that provides regular or thinly kneaded dough just doesn't feel satisfyingly chewy in a restaurant that doesn't routinely serve a thicker dough - not enough chew.

And then there's the flour used.

The difference that technique brings is huge. Liken it to bread: flour with a consistent level of ¬14-15g of protein (similar to flour used for pasta, though usually different type) per 100g can result in remarkably different breads depending on kneading, resting, forming, and remarkably more techniques.
What happens if multiple people from the same household want to use local multiplayer on different screens? That's the only case where the one-to-one relationship between console and portable screen breaks down.
I found this to be impressive because it seems to be working without LIDAR and performing very well. I may be wrong but most other contemporary cars that drive this well use expensive laser sensors

Bad title for a great post. This is especially good:

It sort of flabbergasts me when social-justice activists don’t understand that, if we condemn not only Trump, not only his supporters, but even vociferous Trump opponents who associate with Trump supporters (!), all we’ll do is to feed the narrative that got Trumpism as far as it has—namely, that of a smug, bubble-encased, virtue-signalling leftist elite subject to runaway political correctness spirals.

This is rubbish. You make huge claims without providing a single proof.
I would argue that it is flair, because it's a move you don't see on the pitch very often (and with good reason). It's almost always unnecessary and a way of saying "Hey, look at me!". Maybe you're saying it's not original? I would agree with that.
No, she met someone in person, which made the whole thing a little more scary. They went out to dinner, twice in a single week.

I've experienced London and Paris but I would still swap one of them with a city in a less developed country for variety.

Say Dakar for example (2.5M people): no road signs, pedestrians on the highway, constant honking from every directions, more varied "vehicles" like horse carriage and "car rapides" (small buses).
Wikileaks documents aren't enough to get a conviction, and probably aren't enough to get a warrant or begin a formal investigation. So if these are true, I don't see how they're a backdoor around the 4th amendment.

Also, government officials are held to a higher standard than private citizens. So if Wikileaks reveals something nasty about your senator, he might get investigated where another citizen might not.
Yeah, but I can Uber/Taxi with a Tesla.

My bet is that this is more because of legal reasons than business model reasons (though of course Tesla wants a piece of that pie)
Wikileaks previously did work with journalists to leak only things of interest to the public, they abandoned that position because it doesn't make sense to protect the state.

These leaked emails were from govt agents and are unencrypted.
I agree entirely. The Podesta leak to the public should not have happened. The emails would have done more public good in the hands of a responsible journalist

Why Your Front End Team Should Own the API
Yup. I've been bringing my 3DS instead of my Ipad on flights for a couple years now, and it's just a better experience. If I need to get real work done wherever I am flying to, I'll have my laptop with me.
Out of 2.5 million analyzed mind you. Still seems surprising though.
> Efficiency of energy use? Moving a 2000kg electric car around for 1 person is never going to be efficient.

That depends on how you are defining efficiency (doesn't it always), an electric motor with a good battery backed by a good powergrid (nuclear/renewables) is about the most efficient solution to "one person going from Point A to Point B" in many ways, I'm in favor of public transport but even in a European country it can let you down.

Also in the future with electric self-driving cars I'd happily not own a car (I don't now) and just rent one as and when it's needed from a pool of cars, that would take cars off the road compared to now.
A newspaper and Airbnb aren't exactly the same thing. One difference is a newspaper recognizes it can't show reviews of its listings, so it doesn't.

Yep. They specifically mentioned the difficulty of keeping up with software for both consoles (which both have different architecture) this generation and that they weren't going to make that mistake again next generation. And clearly they aren't.
What an odd response. As you yourself say, "this is an unfair comment."

This is a case where dozens of human lives were snuffed out in an instant, and basically nobody ever figured out what happened. The story calls out clearly that there are friends and family still living who have lasting emotional scars. These guys donated their own time and money to investigate this incident, because they took a personal interest in learning more. Beyond that, the expedition itself was nothing to write home about -- it's not a summit of Everest, or even Kilmanjaro. Sure, I'm sure they got some enjoyment out of what they did, but is that wrong?

Finally, I don't see any sign that these guys are seeking your approval or praise for what they did, so I have a hard time understanding why you are so offended.
Yes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinian_language has some information.

Beyond that, it frankly just "looks" a bit more latin, with s's at the end of words for plurals, and more u's than Italian has.

I think it also has fewer loan words, and has staid in some cases closer to older Latin words: 'domu' for house rather than 'casa'.

We're not talking about modifying the self-driving algorithms. I assume those are a totally closed black box. We're merely talking about inputting destination addresses. What Tesla is saying with this no-Uber rule is, "This is where you can and cannot go."

What happens when they, say, strike a deal with McDonald's and ban drivers from going to Burger King locations? It sounds far-fetched, but I don't see any difference. Where we take our cars and why should not be Tesla's business.

It is currently difficult to defend the US in Europe with "nearly half of the population supporting.." I think this claim has to be put in context of the political 2 party system. We have had populist candidates in many European countries. Generally their support reaches max 15-20%. The number of people attracted by populist candidates is probably pretty constant in the West. It is highly likely that the numbers would be similar in the US if there was multiple political parties.
Could it be that they have a more powerful GPU in the dock so that it's easier to drive higher-resolution displays? just a thought.

From a quick reading, it seems that the signaling protocol (which WebRTC doesn't specify) is the potential weakest link. The article gives the example of using SIP with plaintext packets easily intercepted and forged. One suggested remedy is using WSS instead, which I find strange as the status of WebSockets is quite unclear now with HTTP/2.
This is the NX.
The Xbone and PS4 can both play Skyrim and Fallout 4. Nothing Nintendo's put out can come close. Just sayin'.

I also played a ton of goldeneye when I was around 10 years old, so I get where you are coming from and it pains me to be the bearer of bad news but that game is ... so bad.

That doesn't mean it wasn't fun. It doesn't invalidate the good times we had. But there is so much about that game (from the controller itself, to the control layout, to the gameplay) that just does not hold up. N64 Goldeneye is a clunky, hard to play, unbalanced mess.

It was a ton of fun, and I wouldn't trade the experience of playing it for anything; but it is not a 'masterpiece'.

Mario Kart 64 is, even by modern standards, a good game, but calling that a masterpiece would mean we need to come up with a classification higher than masterpiece for Mario Kart 8.

If signed Power of Attorney paperwork exists already, the Court of Protection will grant it unless another family member objects.

You can literally buy the paperwork in supermarkets. Get it signed by the donor and witnessed by anyone at all, and you're set.

If there is no signed Power of Attorney paperwork, you have to persuade the Court that the person is no longer mentally competent to look after their own affairs.

Handing all of their money to a scammer counts as evidence towards that. But it's not absolutely guaranteed. There would probably be lawyers involved, and the Grant of PoA would be subject to messy and potentially expensive oversight by the Court.

Basically it's a good idea to get the paperwork ready well ahead of time, so you're not in a situation where you have to apply for a grant against a very confused person's wishes.

Of course, but with instantaneous reaction times you can achieve the same stopping distance at higher speeds. If it takes one second for a driver to start braking when something happens (which is about the average) then a human driver going 65MPH will have the same stopping distance as an autonomous car going 78MPH.
I'm not at all implying that the money will go poof. What I do mean is that inability to meet demand is actually an incredibly serious problem for a car manufacturer - one that's more closely associated with failing Soviet enterprises, regardless of spin to the contrary. Having three years of cars in your backlog isn't winning. Waiting three years for your car to arrive isn't revolutionary.

Meanwhile, Detroit produces more cars then that in two weeks.

Tesla might win eventually, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I wouldn't call that blending. That's just making it convenient to have both. What they're doing now is combining them into the same device.
I had driven it many times before. To a human the whole situation would seem pretty close to obvious as to who should and shouldn't stop.
The difference between this and the Iphone 1 is that the technology is not there yet for fully autonomous cars, and it's unclear you can get there just by trying really hard and spending lots of money. Fully self-driving cars wouldn't just have to stay in their lane on the freeway, they would have to make the decisions during edge-case driving situations that a human would. That means knowing to slow down when a ball rolls across the road, reading people's hand signals, responding correctly when a police car tries to stop traffic on the freeway, etc. I'm not sure how you even begin to handle cases like that. Our driving situation was designed for humans, so you would have to make the algorithm "think like a human" and understand all our wierd idiosyncrasies. So far, machine learning has had very little luck with trying to similate human decision-making.

What Tesla has done so far with "autopilot" is a big deal, but releasing a "video of a car driving itself" is the classic marketing trick with machine learning, where you cherry pick aituations in which your system does well, and most people don't second guess it.
> "WebRTC is not designed with the intention of protecting a user from a malicious website which wants to learn this information [IP Address]. Typically, such a site will learn at least a user's server reflexive address from any HTTP transaction. Hiding the IP address from the server would require some kind of explicit privacy preserving mechanism on the client, and is out of scope of this report."

This is very misleading. Anonymous VPN users (China, Australia, etc.) don't care about hiding their VPN IP. They care about hiding their real IP.

Unfortunately, the default setup for WebRTC in browsers is to try STUN over _all_ network interfaces, which for default VPN setups on Windows, OSX, and Linux means sending packets outside of the VPN (which leaks your real IP!).

Also unfortunately, triggering the STUN doesn't require user consent, so all it takes is to visit a webpage and you've leaked your real IP[1].

This can literally be deadly default behavior. WebRTC needs to either only perform STUN over the default route, or STUN needs to be behind user opt-in consent (just like getUserMedia).

I say this most times I see you advertising and I'll say it again: You really need to work on your pricing to be competitive with things like this. Even with the HN discount your service is expensive and even with the Borg/Attic pricing which is cheaper still, your service is 3x more expensive than alternatives like Nearline (aside from bandwidth), which themselves can be used as a backend for Attic (just mount GCS locally).

I really like the look of the service but I can't justify paying over 3x for it.
