Smart watches don't have any particular niche to capture that other devices don't have. Maybe if they expanded into large screen computers, that would be cool. It'd be nice to have a rolled up monitor on my arm - it'd be great for maps cause I could unroll it with the other hand to get a peek at the map and then let it auto-re-roll itself. Sorry - I don't have a diagram to show you the idea, but maybe you can catch my drift. I'm aware there are some flexible screens already (some organic stuff), but I don't know much about the progress in that area.

Hold on, hold on: when you say 'spacecraft', do you mean complete space vehicles, which would be 336414, or space satellites, communications, which would be 334220?

You know, my rural poor high school had a course covering personal finance, relationships, health, home economics, and so on. It was a required course for all freshman, who were 15 or so and not yet eligible to drop out.

It did not accomplish nearly so much as you might hope.

The underground hip hop complaints as relative to material mostly cover political questions and show that he didn't pay attention to the courses that would help "get our rent paid".
Take a look at Openshift Origin for pointers.

I would say goodbye to web development and start working on a sustainable farm. I started gardening this year and it's the most enjoyable thing I have done in a very long time. being able to do that on a larger scale seems quite wonderful.
Of course they are, they are just a gimmick to try to sell gadgets to those that already own a PC, tablet and phones and overcome the flat downwards curve in sales, now that all those devices are good enough for most people.

As a former owner of the old Casio and Timex first waves of smartwatches, I fail to get any interest on 21st version of them.
Hi mamarjan, if you check the list a contribution was made that included a couple of French lists - I'm sure there are more!
The "smartwatch" from Apple and Android is not a good idea. Fitbit and Pebble are closer to the right direction. Apple/Android keep trying to make watch-sized smartphones. But they will never compete with actual smartphones, they will just always be annoying inferior smartphones on your wrist.

The key factor is to consider which senses are optimal UI for each device. Smartphones dominate the visual and audio senses. Smartwatch simply can't compete there. So smartwatch should have a very simple very low power display like the Fitbit and Pebble and maybe a simple speaker/mic.

So what sense is the smartwatch good for? It's touch. There is a lot of potential of using vibrations/touch as a UI. For example, I think the Apple watch vibrates for turns when you do a Maps route. That's a good start. They need to focus more on things like this. There's a lot you can communicate with vibration, kind of like morse code (such as two quick vibrates, a long vibrate, etc.)

And now Apple has a very advanced touch sensor (the new one in iphone 7). Get rid of that silly big screen on Apple watch. Put the touch sensor there. Why not just allow thumbprint scan, wave my watch at a Apple Pay terminal, and buy things? Way less effort than taking out my phone.

These kind of pure touch and vibration UI is a huge open field. And I think Apple somewhat understands this. But they need to make the big step of dropping that screen. Because that's not where the smartwatch is strong. And it would also allow long battery life which is more important for smartwatch. People are used to daily charge for phones. But much less tolerant of that for watches.
I find #3 to be the truest malpractice. I'm getting to the point of becoming an architect at my current company. However, I don't even want the role. Our current team manager hasn't participated in software development in over a decade. It's a hindrance and much time is spent making arguments to actually follow commonly accepted good practice.

I've led phases of design trade-off analysis where the conclusions were essentially forgone at the start. But to humor the disbelievers, we spent a few months testing alternatives. Even after my team had loads of evidence that one design was more performant and durable (with proper patterns used), people in the engineering peanut gallery questioned our methodology, because the results were contrary to their preconceived notions. These guys were leads and architects, who largely seemed unconvinced because they didn't do the work, so it couldn't possibly be correct.

I want to contact my university and tell them to require some sort of "technical rhetoric" class in the curriculum. Appealing to emotion is really the only way to get things done in development when you tackle larger projects. No one believes empirical evidence anymore, nor do they care to follow good practices. It's mostly about leaving a turd behind, cashing out your RSUs after 3 years and letting the next guy worry about it.

It sounds like your complaint is that the basic primary/secondary educational system does not produce specialists. Have you considered the possibility that neither primary nor secondary education serves the purpose of specialist training, that being reserved for tertiary education?

The purpose of the current design for primary and secondary education is to produce a general foundation atop which any sort of tertiary education can be built.

Dunno if it's just because of Chicago winters, but not having to unglove and unbundle my phone is pretty nice for:

If you're already employed full time and your paychecks go directly to you its only possible if your employer is okay with paying you as a contractor, which of course makes their situation with you more complicated, and also you might have trouble getting health insurance through the company.
The problem is that your execution model has to become incredibly constrained (no execve, no mmap, no function pointers and no reflection) in order to make that virus scanner work. I don't think that a general purpose programming language will be that useful if you disable all of those features.

If you want a good continuation, check out Jordan Peterson, who has a much wider framework into which TLP's somewhat narrow worldview can be fitted. He is also a practicing clinical psychologist, as well as a professor. This video summarises a lot of his ideas, but they are fully explained and justified in his university courses, which are all on the channel. "Personality" is a first year course, and "Maps of Meaning" is I think taken by third or fourth year psychology students.

Thanks again. Any idea (even an approximate one) how long is it likely to take before we get possession of the body?
Yea, I don't like this idea of belittling people because they got pulled into this idea.

Tuning is arbitrary. I've listened to some comparisons between A=432 vs 440 and I think the 440 actually sounds better. But then again, like this article even states, it depends so much on the piece. If you're listening to stuff from the 1700s/1800s, it would make sense to try to use the tuning they used at the time, if only to try to get the sense of emotion intended by the originally composers/arrangers/musicians (even then it's a best guess).

But yes, it is pretty arbitrary. It's the tuning of a note depended on the number of cycles per some arbitrary time unit we defined.

If you're listening to a song today, with all our sound precision technology, you're hearing it the way the original author/musicians wanted it to sound (depending on your equalizers, speakers and various other audio setup).
Echoing some of the other comments, guns as dangerous things are remarkably easy to use safely, e.g. compare ~600 fatal accidents/year and ~33,000 as I recall for cars (both, through quite a lot of effort, making large absolute drops over the last N decades while the population and number of them has significantly increased).

But to use an Internet of Shit device safely, well, I could do it, but I'd have to uncrate a firewall, freshen its software and get it to play nicely with my AT&T U-verse modem/firewall, freshen my knowledge of packet filtering, and then....

This is not my forte, and obviously impossible for the vast majority of people. Instead, to borrow a phrase from RMS/FSF, these defective by design devices need policing, perhaps at a pretty severe level (e.g. requiring stable responsible entities, which could be 3rd parties (should be, actually, since hardware companies are particularly notorious for bad software and security practices), requiring updating capabilities, ISP policing (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12772979), etc.), we need to generally improve the state of the art, etc. etc. etc.

To bring it back to the gun analogy, some basic human factors allowing the rigorous application of 4 rules (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Cooper#Firearms_safety) are all that's needed to keep them from causing unintentional harm (and teaching these isn't hard), just sitting in my holster this morning when I went shopping, mine wasn't going to do anything bad as long as I retained it from a bad actor trying to snatch it (and first he'd have to realize I was carrying it).

Whereas all it takes is plugging in an IoS device into the net, following the instructions provided for the consumer, for bad actors to compromise them and cause increasing chaos.

We're in for some interesting times; this furthers my determination to make sure I can be productive with my computer(s) without the net being available, and my recent and very much related to all this decision to not go "paperless" with all my utility etc. accounts.

They probably picked stone for its low intrinsic value as otherwise there would be an incentive to plunder it. This is a fairly important consideration for something that needs to last long term.

And then some of us look back over two decades of half-finished projects, and think, "Wow, many of these Xes were really cool, I wish I had just sucked it up and finished a few of the Xes, even though at the time all I wanted to do is start yet another project like Y".

The real issue is that some humans have a harder time integrating their short-term and long-term desires.

Every work of fiction is "nonsense", but they still have value as entertainment and story-telling. The difference is that fictional works are understood by the reader/viewer to be fictional.

The problem with nonsense that purports to be true is that there's usually a scam attached to it, to separate people from their money. Fictional stories don't have this: everyone knows they're fictional before they spend their money on it, and they know what to expect from it (i.e. pure entertainment, not a cure for whatever ails you).

I'm with you, been wearing the Steel daily since it came out. Lovely product. Firmware upgrade was actually welcome; I'll keep it, I love that you can roll back easily by installing a different app version. Dismal market share! :( -- though, people have complimented it frequently, most don't know it's a smart watch which I consider a feature.

Looks like they should turn to some niche marketing strategies if they're not already because people who like Pebbles REALLY like Pebbles I find, though they are rare to begin with.
I used to think so, but information sites probably needs to work without javascript, if only for google bot.
The loan comes with a lot of benefits. (e.g. point rewards, protection, etc.). Why is it bad if you loan money if you can pay it back right away? I am sure you have asked your friends for money once when you were out and ran out of cash just to pay them back later that evening?
Which supports my point. Price isn't set relative to production cost. It is set relative to value to the users.
Sounds like you want something along the lines of libretro. It's an API and reference implementation (Retroarch) for emulator "cores" to interface with a standard front end which handles inputs, UI, and other things.

This is typical of any new thing, no?

It has to solve SOME problem that some subset of people care about so intensely that you don't mind the many ways in which it is not as mature as the incumbent.

It's clear that the current smart watches do not accomplish this for you. That's ok as long as there is an initial target audience for which they do. Whether that is the case right now.. well, we'll see.
Nice link. One related question : where have you used Haskell in real life. Do some top companies use Haskell to solve problems
> `var` declares the variable globally"

Not quite. var's are hoisted to the top of their most local function.

(function(){
(function(){
var x = 123;
})();
{
var y = 123;
}
// Here, x is not defined, but y is
})();
// Here, neither x nor y are defined

The above code essentially gets translated to the following:

(function(){
var y;
(function(){
var x;
x = 123;
})();
{
y = 123;
}
// Here, x is not defined, but y is
})();
// Here, neither x nor y are defined

I use a pebble. It has a battery life of about a week, but if I forget to charge it for a day after it tells me it needs charging it still works fine, and it charges pretty fast even if I charge it during the day. It displays the time 24/7 and all I have to do is jiggle my wrist to light up the backlight if it's dark outside. It shows me notifications from my phone which makes it easy to keep track of what's going on and which notifications I actually need to take action on or reply to. When I go bike riding and use Strava it switches over to show me the time, distance, etc. for my ride, which is super convenient. Overall it ends up being very useful for me.

my point was simply that homekit has been incredibly slow to gain any adoption and is pretty limited in terms of who can make things (mfi program), what hardware needs to be in your product (special auth chips..) etc. As a general strategy, if your iot strategy requires iot device makers include special chips and use specific factories, its a rather closed way to approach the market.

Being a landlord sucks, you don't know what you are talking about. Tenants are terrible for wear and tear on your house. Since they don't own the house they don't treat it with care. Lots of maintenance and tenant problems that need solving.
Yes, I agree with you. Reading the comments here seems weird to me, because where I grew up owning a house is pretty much normal. I grew up in Southern Germany where there are a billion small towns. So most people are owning for sure and not renting. This may not be true in large cities, like Munich or Berlin.
For these reasons, for me, Pebble was the only smartwatch that appealed to me, hardware-wise, but it's worth noting that the ToS on their Pebble software is ridiculously anti-privacy. There's an alternative app on Android that is privacy-conscious (gadget bridge), but it's still a work in progress (and they have to reverse engineer everything on the device).

I'm still happy enough with being able to more or less customize my watchface, but if you both care about your privacy and want to make serious use of the "smart" smartwatch features, I don't think there's currently anything on the market for you.

Oh, there's definitely a phenomenon of widespread taste for the occult in Nazi movements. I was just trying to point out that the bulk efforts of Nazi German state and agenda weren't influenced by that in an “official” way. But people like Himmler were obsessed, and they could get away with it with Hitler because they were otherwise useful to him. Of course, it's hard to say what's official and what's not when it comes to such regimes because of the ad hoc system of rule I mentioned: every figurehead had their own fiefdom so to say, governed mostly arbitrarily by their will, as long as it didn't conflict with Hitler's overall agenda, itself arbitrary and dependent upon whatever he came up with.

I'm guessing they _were_ trying to mention it and he interpreted it as "don't make waves till you get tenure". And sure, some people explicitly say that, but the fact is, new people in an old organization do not understand the complexities, and telling everyone they're wrong is not going to win friends or influence people.
Right now? Same reason anywhere else outside of SV isn't one. Momentum. The money is in SV, and has absolutely no desire to move anywhere else.
> 3. Real estate can be borrowed against. Try that with stocks.

if you're using a taxable margin account(1), your broker will almost certainly be happy to let you borrow some fraction of your stock's value as cash, without any paperwork. depending on the value of your account and the amount being borrowed, the rates might even be decent, compared to a HELOC. (after all, their risk is a lot lower, as they can liquidate your stocks on a moment's notice. much easier than foreclosing on a house. and while you're in debt to them, they can loan your stocks out to other people, which is valuable to them.)

(1): holy crap don't sign up for a margin account without fully understanding what you're doing.

Newer Yubikeys support U2F, which I haven't seen any way to phish yet, but the Yubikey protocol is still possible to phish.

To do this, the fake login page says that the token was incorrect the first time (which would possibly alert some people, but certainly not everyone), and then when the user submits a second token, the phishing site sends the first one to the real site. They now have an unused token which can be used up until the user logs into another website (thus invalidating the 'unused' one).
