When I had a Surface 3 for a short time, I used the touch screen rarely. However, I got into the habit of scrolling by swiping my thumb along the edge of the screen. I think I liked it because it gave me another, more outstretched, position to put my hands in.
Radiation exposure is measured in becquerels, grays, and sieverts, for the decay rate, absolute absorbed quantity of radiation, and relative effect on human tissues.

Piquancy exposure is measured only in scoville-heat-units, which is the spiciness equivalent of the sievert. Clearly, piquancy is in need of at least one additional unit that can abstract away the variations in mammalian tongues. That number, in combination with your personal taste profile, would allow you to predict the perceived spiciness of any given dish when you eat it.

You would just need to objectively measure the concentrations of capsaicinoids, and their TRPV1-activating analogs, put those into a spreadsheet with your own numbers, and determine how piquant something would be in scoville-heat-units when you, specifically, eat it.
You hit the nail on the head. The US insurance program is about 80% of why I wasn't able to run a startup.

At the time, I was 29 years old and spent about as much money on insurance as I spent on food. It was my single biggest expense after rent.
I am. Do not want to deal with this nonsense when I'm trying to establish a business and start a family.
I like my 2nd gen Moto 360 as a watch, for its aesthetics, and as a simple notifier, but almost everything else on it is beyond broken. Just trying to check the weather takes 20+ seconds and fails half the time, even on wifi. Pull out the phone and the weather is already there, updated. What the hell. Ok Google could be useful, except for the situations you'd want to use it (hands full, crowded environment) are exactly the situations where it fails.

USAA has a great watch app, though, which somehow has many fewer reliability/latency problems than every other app. I can do most of my banking just walking down the hall while my phone is locked up at my desk.

I don't get it. Decades of science fiction depicting Heads-up-Display glasses and wrist-strapped laptops, with people wishing and wishing we lived in such a world.

Now here we are and society isn't going in for it. Bluetooth head sets, smartwatches, Google Glass, none of it is sticking. Even though smart phones are becoming cumbersome due to size and inability to use hands-free or even one-handed well.

Always-on... screen? Pebbles have that. They don't have GPS built-in though so you'll have to bring your phone with you. You can control the running apps through the watch interface at least.
I think there's a separate Lisp lineage anyway, wherein someone in the 1960s wrote a minimal machine-code interpreter, and ever since lispers have been writing interpreters on top of other Lisps and revising them to emit compiled code along the way. We would still have Lisp compilers if C never existed.
We never use them as credit card in France. It took me a loooong while to understand, when I lived abroad, why the cashier would always ask me a question when I used my card to pay. In fact I understood later that they were asking if I wanted to use debit or credit. And that felt really odd to me.

And it still does. I still don't know what would have been the point to make a loan to buy a bag of potatoes, but well... Cultural differences.

that's the idea behind being able to pin conversations

you're in 4 conversations:

"PINNED: #development"

"PINNED: off-topic chatter"

"we should replace angular with react"

"design discussion about new mock-up"

Uhh, I as a casual browser of HN was quite confused when I clicked on this, as your github repo has no explanation of what Chain Core is, or what it does.

Perhaps consider saying something like "Chain Core is a blockchain based system for private B2B financial transactions, such as deposits, bonds, securities and currency exchanges." up front so other HN readers aren't forced to eventually wander to your website[1] to figure out what this chain thing is.

I mostly agree with you but the 2012 point is a very bad end point to choose for house prices. 2011-12 were the trough on housing prices after the crash.
It's my understanding that the MacBook is a very, very low wattage part - the "core M" series (~5 watts?). A MacBook Air has the lower wattage "core i" series part (~15 watts?), and the MacBook Pro has the higher wattage "core i" series part (~25 watts?).

Interesting question. I know nothing about IPFS other than what I've read in the past five minutes on Wikipedia, but:

1. HTML wants badly for a nested relational document format. Essentially tin or mutt's "in reply to" and "references" headers.

2. A comments stream is a) a parent document to which b) multiple child documents, themselves possibly having c) parent-child relationships, d) are associated. Rather than thinking of "threaded discussion == single document" think "threaded discussion == a set of related documents".

That gives the option of having a discussion "occurring" across multiple sites, with some form of trust, whitelist, blacklist, or other mechanisms for reflecting what you do or don't include in the discussion. Individual comments, as their own docs, could also be freestanding instances.

Finding children from the parent becomes an interesting question.

There's also the matter of versioning a document. Tying a git-like capability to this could be interesting.

It's possible, but rare. As an example, some Samsungs had faulty eMMC chips (used in the Galaxy Nexus, SGS2 and Note 1) and certain operations when installing custom ROMs (eMMC secure erase/wipe) would trigger the infamous BrickBug that crashes the eMMC chip from next boot on. The problem was faulty eMMC firmware that Samsung later patched but never acknowledged (it was discovered by reverse engineering [1]) and worked around.

The Pebble 2, Pebble Time 2, and the original Pebble Time all have always-on screens. The battery life is as follows:

- Pebble 2: 7 days

- Pebble Time 2: 10 days

- Pebble Time: 5 days

In practice, the Pebble Time is good for about 4 days. I suspect that the other estimates are about a day above what most people will see as well.
Consider two functions (excuse my Scala):

scala> val str: Function[String, String] = s => if (s.length > 3) s else null
str: java.util.function.Function[String,String] = $$Lambda$1369/859456754@2c668c2a

scala> val num: Function[String, Integer] = s => if (s == null) -1 else s.length
num: java.util.function.Function[String,Integer] = $$Lambda$1376/1887041776@121cf6f4

With Optional, you receive different results depending on whether you call map twice, or combine the functions first:

scala> Optional.of("Foo").map[String](str).map[Integer](num)
res12: java.util.Optional[Integer] = Optional.empty

scala> Optional.of("Foo").map[Integer](str.andThen(num))
res15: java.util.Optional[Integer] = Optional[-1]

This is incorrect.
(They decided to disallow null as Optional's value for whatever insane reason.)

It also leads to all sort of weird usability issues: The old "`someMap.get(...)` returned null ... now does that mean the entry doesn't exist, or the entry exists and it is null?"

In fact they are currently working on special hacks to Java 10's Generics, because they realized that important collection classes don't work well with specialization, and even their new Optional can't save them. (Not directly related, but a good example how design mistakes combine and cause even more pain down the road.)
You forgot the other part:

> because they have not learned that behaviour

Children can pick up all sorts of behaviour from their parents, albeit I have only anecdotal evidence, but:

I have met many, many people of the ages 11 to 12, the majority were intensely curious. In all the cases where they were not curious, their parents (or tutors, etc.) either did not think learning to be a joy, actively discouraged them for curiousity, or scorned them for asking questions (especially about things that were 'unrelated'). In other words, the young people were taught that it was a bad thing to be curious or otherwise learn about things, and especially a bad thing to learn in a non-prescibed way.
Yeah that's me I'm waiting for them to come out with one that's a replacement for a phone not some unjustifiably expensive accessory for a phone.

That or just make phones smaller. My favorite flip phone is smaller than even the smallest iPhone. I'd probably still use it today if my network still supported 2g.
I think instead of being coached, barbell lifts require learning them, as opposed to just doing the movements described on the machines' pictures. The difference means that anyone right now can go to YouTube and look up the proper form for back squatting or overhead pressing, as long as they want to invest a bit of time researching and then practicing (that is, you don't absolutely need to pay someone to teach you).

Agree otherwise, though. I think our culture needs to emphasize the importance of strength training for health (over casual gym attendance for hypertrophy and self-esteem).

Seems interest in smart watches happens at Christmas time. There is a problem with that because you don't buy people the same present every year and there cannot be that many people wanting a new smart watch at Christmas, particularly if it is marginally better than their existing smart watch.

I think the same people that bought 3D televisions and tablets bought smart watches, they will be wanting something else next. Maybe they will return to buying smart watches when there is some new battery-defying functionality to them, i.e. they are as good as smart phones in miniature with lots of previously unimagined 'Pokemon Go' grade apps that make the upgrade worth it.

I also do not believe that any of the smart watches cut the mustard as far as true watch aficionados are concerned. To some people the fanciest ceramic iWatch is on an equal par with a resin calculator watch, lacking intangible heritage things and therefore not a cool item in their minds (they probably fear not being able to use a smart watch). These same people were equally snobbish about digital photography, therefore it could take a generation before smart watches are accepted 'artistically' by people who are like that.

I am hoping that a category killing smart watch gets made by Google in the same price range as a Chromecast. For £30 a lot of people would give a smart watch a go.
Yes! Just add an extra $30 to your pledge and we'll take care of the rest during the survey phase!

I'd say perfect pitch = relative pitch + internal pitch reference (i.e. A=440). You cannot be born with the latter pre-programmed in your brain because that's an arbitrary number.

I've always been skeptical of smart watches. As others say, if it can't outright replace my phone, i just don't see much value in them.

I wear "nice" watches occasionally, usually any time i have to wear a suit. As a toy, an epaper watch with actual physical hands would be pretty cool. The two extra hands on something like a diving watch could be used for other gauges, maybe unread email count or something goofy like that.

A watch seems like the right target for that semi connected on call state. Sort of like a modern pager. I'm not reading email, or available on hangouts. But i'll get the alert that we need to communicate. Low key, non intrusive, acceptable at a funeral. Just a few bits of information.
Epstein, Trump's-formerly-acknowledged longtime friend who he now denies knowing, is also the alleged facilitator in the case in which Trump is accused of repeatedly and forcible raping a young teen.

So, I'm not sure reports that Bill Clinton may have been present at an Epstein party is exactly a damning indictment of how Hillary Clinton is somehow getting away with things worse than what Trump is accused of.

Opera singer here - you must be playing in North America. In Germany tunings range from 436 to 444, depending on what you're playing. Most theaters tune to 442.

One thing that gets opera singers (like me) up in a knot about this, is that the human voice is not a tune-able instrument. There are registration issues in fixed frequency ranges, which we can't change. At A440, a register shift happens a quarter tone lower than where Mozart and Verdi expected it. That creates a sound difference that an audience can hear, and a big difference technically.

I liked my Android Wear watch, but it never completely worked. Things like dismissing a reminder on the watch would get a sad cloud rather than also dismiss it on my phone. I thought maybe it was because I was running cyanogenmod, so I went back to stock Verizon firmware, but it had all the same bugs. A few weeks later, the Android Wear app started crashing in the background 2-3 times per minute and giving me a popup each time. I disabled it and haven't really used the watch since.
I see... I guess I'll just point out what you may already know: the way you guys are framing this discussion is really flawed. Marginal rates have no meaning without discussing brackets (and other important details), which can be quite different in different countries. Effective tax rate distributions are the only meaningful way to compare different countries' rates.

As an analogy, it would be like comparing Buffalo's weather to San Diego's based on the average high temperature in the summer (which may lead you to believe Buffalo is hotter than San Diego).

Back in 2007 I remember seeing smartwatches that could replace phones (make calls, text, Internet, even take pictures) for sale in Ghana

The problem is a watch can only be so big before it's too big, but input and battery life on small devices sucks (for now)
I don't understand why there is such a huge salary difference between Toronto and SF. I'd love to move to Toronto but really don't want to take that huge salary hit.

Making a backup with tar is done by typing something like that on bash:

> tar -c - dir1 dir2 dir3 > /dev/tape

That will (hopefully, I doubt I got the tar switches right) backup those dirs into the tape (that will actually have a weird name, not '/dev/tape').

Now, in practice Linux doesn't always know the size of a tape you inserted. But this is not the issue, if you accept the seeks needed for that, you'd better write at the beginning anyway.

That you may unwittingly opening up your machine to vulnerabilities.

Most sophisticated people won't execute remote scripts from untrusted sources, but as more people switch to unix-like operating systems, they may have as much scrutiny.

A designer on my team was given a mac, and if a script failed to run locally, he would immediately re-run the script using `sudo.` I can't imagine he was the only person to use this solution.
I completely forgot about that one! It may very well be the best. :)
You know when your U2F device has been stolen because it's not in your possession anymore. The hardware is meant to be at least tamper-evident, if not tamper-resistant, so an attacker can't just steal the internal secret and put the device back where they found it.

Bytes in a password manager are hard to steal, but if you do steal them, the legitimate owner won't necessarily ever know.

SQL actually demonstrates a good use case for custom template handlers. It's not SQL, but we're using a template handler to make writing parameterized queries trivial for ArangoDB: https://github.com/arangodb/arangojs#aql

Example:

var userCollection = db.collection('_users');
var role = 'admin';
db.query(aql`
FOR user IN ${userCollection}
FILTER user.role == ${role}
RETURN user
`)

The template handler returns an object with the parameterized query string and the parameter values, which the `query` method understands. Because collection parameters are syntactically distinct from regular parameters this also avoids accidentally passing in arbitrary strings as collection names -- and of course it completely avoids injection attacks as a category.

In my experience this is actually much more comfortable to use than a "fluent" API that tries to map the query language to the programming language (i.e. `select('id').from('foo')` and so on).

Full disclosure: I wrote that library.

> I stopped wearing a normal watch once I had a decent pocket chronometer

I continue to wear one because it is easier to check the time that way than dig the thing out of my pocket, turn it on, get it to recognize my thumb or demand a pin, etc., especially when driving.

And, of course, because I'm old and not hip.

Could it be that smartwatches and google glass don't have suitable input methods yet? They're adequate for displaying information but not great for extensive input or manipulation of data. Most people also don't want yet another device to recharge each night either.

I have a Nexus 6 (one of the larger phones) and don't find it cumbersome at all. It's certainly more practical compared to trying to do anything meaningful on a smartwatch.
