The question is does this opinion comes from experience, or from assumption?

Having an Apple Watch now for about 6 months, I can say I love it, and none of those things (and I shared the same skepticism before buying one) have proven to be issues.

I don't tend to look at my watch when I sleep - so that one's easy, and when you charge the watch its in a mode that gives off a low-light time (nightstand mode, i think they call it). On top of that, it takes about an hour to charge, so often I end up charging it during my night time regiment, and by the time I go to bed, i COULD wear it (if i need to make sure I'm up early for something, i wear it so i get the vibration)

If you want a traditional watch, then get a traditional watch - comparing it to a traditional watch and holding to the same standards is not a position of common sense...
ew you said the S word

seriously though, thanks for the kind words :)

I am another watch guy, but I disagree that the main problem is that people don't like wearing them (although there certainly is no shortage of such people). Last year there were 1.2 BILLION watches sold (http://www.statisticbrain.com/wrist-watch-industry-statistic...). On whole smart watches sold as well as Swiss did even though they are on average significantly cheaper.

I don't know why they are not selling, but clearly combination of their advantages and disadvantages is not compelling enough compared to alternatives.
I bought one of the first generation Android Wear devices for $50 a few months after they debut. There was some convenience to the simple verbal commands for timers and the instant answers made for a neat party trick, but the speech-to-text wasn't good enough for moderately complex messaging (I once said I would be there in "a bit over 15 minutes" and got the fraction bit/15 minutes) and it was heavy and uncomfortable. I've also become less and less comfortable with being so intimate with Google.

I do see value added in the notification mirroring, however. There are many situations where it's useful to see updates without taking out and unlocking your phone: at a meeting, with your hands full, walking around in a crowd. I hadn't worn my watch for the better chunk of a year until two weeks ago when I needed instant Twitter notifications during business hours should a convention I attend start selling its badges. Now that I have those badges, it's back into the drawer until needed again. My calculator watch is more comfortable and I have metal watches that look nicer. Unless I have a defined need for notifications on my wrist, I currently am better off with a conventional watch.
function thisIsBad ({
someKey: renamedSomeKey,
someOtherKey: renamedSomeOtherKey = 'otherDefaultValue',
meta: { innerMetaKey = 'someInnerMetaKeyValue', otherInnerMetaKey, ...remainingMeta }
} = {
someKey: 'defaultValue',
someOtherKey: SOME_CONSTANT,
meta: {}
}) {
// ...
return { someKey: renamedSomeKey }
}

My favourite messed up part of the syntax is the way the `:` character is used to describe either the default value of a property or a way of renaming the name of a property internally (depending on whether it is to the left or right of an `=`). And also, the way you can destructure the inside of an object, and automatically lose the original value. For example `meta` is not accessible within the function defined above.

This is syntax which can simplify your code if you apply it carefully, but will ruin your code if you over-use it.
I generally thought the selection from the Midwest was bad - I'm from Indiana, and always lived in tiny to smallish "medium" sized towns. Often you are at odds with the grocery store, which may or may not carry much else. Most folks first intro to "spicy" food is Taco Bell and the local "authentic" Mexican restaurant. We (Midwesterners) simply haven't usually experienced anything else. Pure ignorance, really.

Then I moved to Norway. Oh, I was so wrong about selection. Tacos and Mexican-type flavors are very popular, albeit very mild. If I don't want the single 'normal' variety, I have to search for fresh peppers and hope they have them in stock. There isn't generally even an option for mild vs spicy. Wanting different flavors from different chilis is downright exotic.
Unless people resort to another device like mounted glasses for web viewing and picture taking. Or a ipad for bookreading, web browsing and picture taking.
IMHO it's crazy to think of every minute as either earned money or spent money. Second, very few people can arbitrarily trade any amount of time\effort for any amount of money. That's not how the market works. So how exactly would I go make $30 instead of cooking dinner for 30 minutes each evening? I assure you that whatever answer you have doesn't scale for my free time, or to everyone in the economy.

>The biggest issue for me with the "smartwatch" is that they don't have feature parody with dumb watches. I've had many watches in the past and the battery lasts for years. I can also turn my wrist and see the time instantly. Who would have thought?

The same happens with e.g. paper vs computer. With paper the "battery" lasts forever. But you tradeoff some things to get other stuff.

>What I get now is some piece of crap that needs to be charged every night. So I basically have no features while I'm sleeping. I can't just wake up in the middle of the night an instantly know what the time is.

Well, you probably have your phone next to you, your alarm clock next to the bed, and several other clocks nearby in the bedroom.
You can play YouTube audio in the background and with the phone locked if you use Firefox.

SCP was a great rabbit hole, until I took some psychedelics after I'd been reading it during my downtime at work the previous few weeks. I spent much of the trip seeing the face from SCP-87 [1] bulging through the inside of my eyelids.

I haven't been able to enjoy browsing it since.

Going broke working at Harvard more like it, could you live on $12/hr in Baltimore with kids? I know I wouldn't be able to make it work.
Except that, in reality, no one is paying you for that 10 minutes. This is a nonsense claim I see thrown around here all of the time. If no one is willing to hand you a check for every spare minute you have then no, your time is absolutely *not" worth that money.

Taking on contract work is a non-trivial time investment. I can't just work for ten minutes whenever I want to pay for takeout, I will have deadlines to meet, which means less time with my family. I've done it, no thanks.
I think the point was that they are asking for $$$ by having a "Free vs. Pro" business model (i.e. people pay $$$ for Pro), so where does the need for a Kickstarter campaign come from?

There's certainly a chance that that will happen, yes. We don't need a catastrophe for that, just different socio-economic conditions that don't favor reading, writing and doing intellectual things, generally speaking.

On top of that languages like English, French and German are pretty "new", so to speak, I mean they're not older than 1000 years, at the most. I'm pretty sure most native English speakers need a "modernized" version of Chaucer's works (meaning a translation) in order to understand what he wanted to say, and the same goes for the French and Rabelais's "Gargantua and Pantagruel". 2,000 years ago no-one on this continent (Europe) was speaking neither French, nor English, nor German, so it's plausible that in another 2,000 years these languages will have changed to the point of becoming new ones.
It's a completely legitimate argument actually. If ever his personal agenda lead him into conflict with the interest of shareholders in a fashion that was detrimental to Apple's profits, the board would remove him. Simple as that.

Yes, there are apps that are very responsive that are not SPAs. They are solving many of the problems traditional web applications have. DHH has written extensively on techniques for building them, and I have written a library for building them as well.

There are many problems with the client-side paradigm: security, API churn, we lose Rest/HATEOAS, complexity, etc. That's not to say that the client side paradigm is always the wrong choice, it has its strengths as well, but it is rather to say that making it the default choice, without considering the problem at hand, is foolish.

Even national newspapers sometimes have sections on consumer rights. I'm pretty sure The Times still has this as part of the money section (maybe the Saturday edition? It's been a while since I read a newspaper). This also sounds like it would be of interest to the specialist motoring press.

I feel like this is one of those cases where generating some negative PR and embarrassing Vauxhall could actually get results.

Good luck!

>I.e. never? I mean, I can picture making phone calls or dictating SMS by voice with a smart watch, but people are not going to be browsing the web or taking pictures with a tiny wrist device when they already have a 5-6" inches display device on their pockets, and almost no one would ditch the latter for the former if they had to choose.

People might also not have 5-6" devices in their pockets, but special glasses with HUDs or smart contact lenses...
"Well, you probably have your phone next to you, your alarm clock next to the bed, and several other clocks nearby in the bedroom."

So I should supplement my smart watch with other devices in order to know what time it is? Makes $ense.
iOS 10.1 Fix: maliciously crafted JPEG file may lead to arbitrary code execution
One key difference which made me appreciate the thought which went into U2F: people using password managers can still copy and paste the real password into the form, which they're somewhat trained to do by all of the large websites which don't have / don't have working single sign on.

With U2F that failure mode is impossible since you cannot get the private key to shoot yourself in the foot with, even if the phisher successfully convinces you to try.

I think you mean testing for basic security best practices. Testing for vulnerabilities is the hard part, but having good practices is easier to test (e.g. is it a vulnerability or a feature it can't reset?).
This isn't surprising. Some people lie out of habit - they lie even when it doesn't benefit them.

Summarizer’s unique feature is the possibility to create different kinds of summaries:
Theme-oriented: the output summary includes the sentences, which are mostly relevant to a given topic (e.g. politics, economics, sports and etc.);
Structure-oriented: the summary content depends on input document structure (e.g. scientific article, patent, news article);
Concept-oriented: the importance of sentences is determined with respect to a number of user defined concepts.
Try all of this features to create your appropriate summary.
Misleading title. You can't compare sales from the Apple Watch's initial release with the months leading up to a new model.

If you take Apple out of the picture sales stay pretty steady. Samsung grows a little, Garmin grows a lot. Far from "tanking".

Smartwatches will continue to sell steadily (to early adopters and developers) until the tech catches up.

The new Apple Watch is already a huge improvement over the last model, but mainly in software. WatchOS was terrible until 3.0 and it still isn't there. It tries to do too much because Apple doesn't quite seem sure what it's supposed to do.

For telling the time, displaying notifications, fitness tracking, and a couple of other things it's great. Why then is the homescreen a complete mess of icons for half-features? Why (until WatchOS 3.0) could it take upwards of ten seconds to open an app?

I imagine Apple would never release the iPad today without first-party weather/stocks/calculator apps.
Promises spreads like a virus so that all asynchronous functions eventually end up returning a Promise. They are hard to understand and it's easy to forget handling errors or return values. I think callbacks are much easier to understand and get right using named functions and closures.

If you want to call everything in serial and wait between each step, why not make it synchronous instead of .then chaining ?
https://tozny.com/ sells a service that enables this for any app, not just Google.

I have a Yubikey and I find it too obnoxious for day-to-day use. I'd rather use an authenticator app (such as Google's or LastPass').

For TOTP on non-Google sites, I find LastPass better than Google's Authenticator. First, LastPass locks the app with a PIN. Second, it can work with the browser extension to fill out those 6-digit codes for you.
You might notice that this is, in fact, an promotion for the author's book. If it manages to persuade you to buy it, then we can say that he's a reliable source of information on persuasion, since he successfully persuaded you.

Actually the smug, dismissive tone of your comment is equally common on HN. Neither you nor the OP have given direct evidence on the matter, and it is presumptuous to think that the narrative you presented trumps the OP's vague reference to twin studies.

A quick google study yields "Using 15 years of data on Finnish twins, we find that 24% (54%) of the variance of women’s (men’s) lifetime income is due to genetic factors and that the contribution of the shared environment is negligible."[0] But I don't want to claim this is the final word, it's just the kind of evidence that is useful rather than blithe assertions and name calling.

Wow, you're good. ;-)

I apologize.

I'm frustrated at work, I don't understand why all these intelligent, capable people wind up building such a haphazard, nearly spastic organization.

I should not fault you for coping, even thriving, in a world not of your own making.
Sure. I mean, that's what I did/do. But I also did lots of precise athletic training before hand, and I know from experience trying to "coach" people that there is a very big spread of people's proprioceptive abilities. You'd be surprised what some people can fail to notice about their own movements.

Besides which, if I had the time and money, I would absolutely hire a good quality strength and conditioning coach, and I bet I'd be kicking myself for not having done it earlier, since I've basically fixed all the things that I can notice and fix by introspection and film.

But basically I think we're in agreement on the big issues. :)
> I was just trying to make the point that Object.freeze doesn't give you nearly 99.9995%, nor even 95%, of what immutable data structures give you.

Sure. That's why I made sure to say it'll give you 99% of what you want. Not 99% of immutable data structure capabilities :).

Though I'm sure folks may disagree with what I'm suggesting they "want" but I do not believe it's a good pattern to follow where a complex object needs to be immutable in JavaScript.

> JavaScript not enforcing immutability of nested objects with Object.freeze. So if you want to enforce that, you're going to have to call Object.freeze on every child object, which becomes a nightmare to write and maintain.

Which is why you should never ever do that. It's a bad pattern in a dynamic language to try and make complex structures completely immutable. It's best to simply find alternative ways of accessing them if you do not want to expose it to modification.

the other reason would be the whatever you subsidize you just get more of that. So in an market based system prices generally rise until they have balanced out the gains from tax deduction (interest & prop tax).

Also, given the amount of labor force mobility in US now vs 30 years ago it anyways does not makes sense to force people to 'settle down'.

Sorry to chime in late, a day after this comment was added.

If you set a long DNS TTL, then you will not be able to move your IP addresses quick enough. In the DDoS world, you may need to nullroute an HTTP server IP. If you do that, you assume you can point the DNS to another, not-nulled IP. For this reason, keeping the DNS TTL to low values will make you more resilient.

Multiple DNS providers is probably a good advice, although hard to do in practice. The api's of different vendors don't always match. (cname flattening? geo-routing?). Also a real big attack will just likely take down all your providers. Using multiple providers may well _decrease_ the stability of the internet at large.

DDoS against DNS is not trivial problem. As sad as it may be, I'd say we must just assume DNS infrastructure in the world works. If it stops, then, many users will be affected.
