Yes, but only recently. The most notable example in a top company is Facebook's spam detection service, powered by their library called Haxl[0]. The language allows some very skilled programmers to build this library that makes it very easy to write spam rules. Lower-level engineers can then write very simple and elegant code that looks sequential but is automatically parallelized by the library.

The service is a big deal, because every action or request that anyone makes on Facebook touches this service.

> I can also turn my wrist and see the time instantly.

My Moto360 turns on instantly when I flip the wrist.

> I can't just wake up in the middle of the night an instantly know what the time is.

The Moto360 charging on its cradle shows the time pretty much like an ordinary stationary clock. It glows softly in the dark and shows you the time. It's a lot more visible that way compared to an old wristwatch.

> Let me know when battery life is within a couple of orders of magnitude of real watches

That is a legitimate complaint.

However, showing time is much less important nowadays, I think. Pretty much anything that uses electricity can show you the time. In my kitchen, there's something like 3 time displays visible at once. My wife's car has two (one is the old car clock, the other is from the new radio I've installed a while ago).

The reason why I wear a smartwatch is to avoid having to pull out the phone every time I get a notification. That, IMO, is the killer app of the smartwatch. I get the notification sound, just flip the wrist; decide whether it needs attention, and act accordingly or ignore. Done. Super-useful.

I agree that as timepieces alone the smartwatches are a regression.
Very interesting, for sure.
What is the number for the Simple Highway Police Department, I just witnessed 3 hit and runs back-to-back and would like to report them!

I don't think this is true. Ikea is often included in Sweethome comparisons for which Ikea has products, but the overlap between what Ikea sells (mostly furniture) and the Sweethome reviews (lots of tools, small appliances, kitchen electronics, etc.) is not that great. But Ikea products seem to have been included in all the reviews related to mattresses or bedding, flatware, dishes, pots and pans, etc.: http://thesweethome.com/?s=ikea
That's one good thing about large-scale home-ownership: people tend to take better care of things they own, so overall costs to society for housing may be lower that way. It also makes people more invested in their communities, in theory.

I was a landlord for a while during the realty boom. It really did suck. However, it varied wildly by tenant: some tenants took good care of the place, others didn't. So when a tenant left and I had to get a house ready to re-rent, some were a relative cakewalk, while others required a ton of work (like one idiot who drilled a bunch of giant holes in the walls for cables for their A/V equipment).

The worst part about it was being on the hook for major repairs, and having them happen at unpredictable times.
Started learning Haskell just a couple of weeks ago. My only complaint with the language so far is that I cannot have the same name for a field in two records in the same module.

There is a captivating, not very long, scifi novel The Sands of Sarasvati (by Finnish scifi author Risto Isomäki) related to this topic.

Unfortunately Amazon seems to only have it in German (Die Schmelze, kindle and paper) and in Spanish (El deshielo, paper only). So for English, one would need to order a papercopy from a Finnish bookstore.
I can applaud only to a smart PR move here. I can't imagine even one hundred people recognize vendor name on their cameras, let alone bother to return them overseas to China. (The article didn't mention where they were sold but I assume overseas). Devices of this vendor constitutes a tiny portion of the whole botnet. So this recall can't really change anything, but vendor's name hits the media.
But can't the phisher just visit Google and log in there with 2FA, while receiving the 2FA code from the fake site?

Important point:

"But years later, officials realized Van Meter and thousands of other veterans were not actually eligible for the bonuses they were given."

...

"As first reported by the Los Angeles Times, only soldiers with certain assignments -- for example, intelligence, civil affairs and some noncommissioned officer posts -- were supposed to get bonuses. But investigators uncovered rampant fraud and mismanagement by California Guard officials trying to meet enlistment targets."

In short, the soldiers were given bonuses they were not entitled to receive.
The classes are never the suitable speed for all the students. When learning on your own, you set your own speed but you can't do that when in school. But note that all subjects are like the subjects you mentioned you took in HS. The mathematics doesn't actually go all that far. Note that all of HS mathematics can be summarized in those HS math review books that are actually not that thick. It's a travesty that fundamentally, you spend maybe like 4 years reading like 6-7 books?
Of course sales are tanking, these things are bloody useless.

I have the first generation of motorola 360, I wear it every day and charge it every night. The hardware is fine (for a first gen) and I like its style. But, I unpaired it from my phone a long time ago, because I ran into too many issues. First the connection was sucking my phone's battery to a point it wasn't funny anymore, then updating an app on my phone would crash the watch's OS, and again randomly causing the thing to become uncomfortably hot. Finally the overhaul quality of the ecosystem went down with each updates (notifications delayed, vibrations missed, glitches...)

The features I don't miss:

- Fitness & heart rate (that thing was a joke)

- Music (I have a phone for that, thank you)

- Note taking (just no. I'm not ever again talking to my watch in public)

- Text responding (what is wrong with you?)

The features I do miss a little bit:

- GPS guidance with vibrations when biking (two for left, three for right, - that was genius)

- getting my phone's notifications (when it was working)

I did read the article. But I didn't consider the first bit as a throwaway, and this might be the key issue here. If there's a situation where priming might work, it's when the person being primed has either no particular opinion on that issue or when they're in agreement with it.

I personally have strong priors against the effectiveness of advertisement and propaganda. I don't think the effects of these things are robust to different behavioural patterns and to increases in public awareness. So I didn't think of the first paragraph as a 'throwaway' bit.

The opportunity costs this guy and his company added to the whole of society through the 1990s and early 2000s are huge, hope he'll finally reach some form of repentance at some point. Maybe what he and his wife are now in doing in Africa will help him in that regard.

The NEP has four primary goals: 1) detect possible violations of the securities laws and regulations (including fraud); 2) foster strong compliance and risk management practices; 3) monitor risk; and 4) provide the SEC with information about the industry’s compliance and the implementation of rules and laws.
>So I should supplement my smart watch with other devices in order to know what time it is? Makes $ense.

In order to know what time it is:

(1) at bed at night &&

(2) if you haven't kept it charged &&

(3) if you don't charge it by the bedstand

One could see oneself suffering this huge inconvenience when sleeping if they value the other things their smartwatch does when it's charged and their are not at bed at night...

Besides, no reason to buy a smartwatch for its timekeeping, you could just as well buy a $10 Casio watch and be done with it. Or one of those alarm-clock/radio bedstand thingies.

So you'd rather spend all your time in the evenings transiting to a restaurant, waiting around for a table, waiting around for your order to arrive, getting hurried by the server so they can get a new customer in, then transiting back home?

Eating out at a nice sit-down restaurant takes a huge amount of time. I can cook myself a meal at home and eat it in much less time than going out.

The only way it's faster to eat out is if you get fast food takeout, which is absolutely shut nutritionally and will put you into an early grave.

You sound like all the dummies who think I'm wasting time by changing the oil in my car myself. It takes me less time than making an appointment, driving all the way to the dealership, then sitting there and waiting for them to do the work (which probably takes longer than me because they have a bunch of cars to work on and their scheduling isn't perfect, just like a doctor's office), then driving back home. I can do it myself in my garage in 15 minutes. I can't even drive to my nearest dealership in that time. On top of all that, you have to figure how much work time I'm missing in the process, since auto shops aren't open weekends or evenings usually (and especially not dealerships).

The Amazing, Autotuning Sandpile (2015)
The point is not to be optimal for every student - the resources required for such are not available and MOOCs are not an adequate replacement. The point is to lay a universal foundation in a series of selected subjects while socializing students.

The model of turning a literate child loose in a library and letting them be for six or eight years should not be assumed as universally useful. It's not a good way to produce a shared general foundation for a modern democracy.

I would be shocked if it hasn't. Here in the greater Nuremberg area, prices have been going up steadily for the past 3 years or so. It took us a year to make the winning offer on a reasonably-priced house. We got a 15 yr mortgage at 1.6% from the local Sparkasse (think Savings and Loan), though we did put down a traditional (high) down payment.

So why did we buy? My (German) husband's fear of inflation finally surpassed his fear of debt to accommodate my Anglo-American need for my own pied a terre :) Rents are going up around here, and even though there's the 15% over 3 year limit, that's still a lot over the long term.

It was nice not to feel like we had to buy a house, though. That gave us time to save up, to know what we really wanted in a house and to be really certain that we wanted to stay in this region.
Yeah, I think the author is drawing the wrong conclusions by comparing two variables. It looks like, from the graph, there's some staying power within the top 20%, but that still leaves a great amount of mobility for college graduates.

This State of the Haskell Ecosystem doc[1] is very informative. If you're looking at application domains, Haskell(and OCaml etc) is usually well suited for writing compilers, but its not bad for your usual server-side application either. The only domain its fundamentally unsuited for is systems/embedded programming.

From the referenced Wikipedia link:

By recording the daily rhythms of hormones and body temperatures in 24 healthy young and old men and women over a one-month period, the researchers conclude that our internal clocks run on a daily cycle of 24 hours, 11 minutes.

Researchers previously reported a range of 13 to 65 hours, with a median of 25 hours, 12 minutes. The variation between our subjects, with a 95 percent level of confidence, was no more than plus or minus 16 minutes, a remarkably small range.

The way I read your argument, it relies on denying access to be cheaper or simpler than spoofing (X == spoofing, Y == denying access to authoritative NS):

You are arguing that a kind of attacks is made more dangerous, because in the world with that change an attacker can not only (a) keep performing attack X, but can also (b) perform attack X and then keep performing Y. If Y is in no way simpler for the attacker why would an attacker choose (b)? S/he can get the same result using (a) in that world or in our world.

Am I misreading you or missing some other important property of these two attack variants?

MFi isn't too limited. You must just apply and meet certain standards. The benefit is you have access to a huge market (iOS users).

What's wrong with this approach? Imagine the PR disaster if this DDoS attack was caused by HomeKit devices.

As a potential future user of HomeKit it's reassuring to know security is a real concern here. I'm glad I won't have to probe the device to check it isn't running a telnet server with no root password, for example.

When we're talking about an internet-connected camera or a front door lock, yeah I'm going to want high standards for security. If that slows down HK adoption so be it. If I wanted a convenient-but-insecure lock compatible with my existing devices today I'd just leave my door unlocked.
Not sure what you mean. Surely more than 3% of the freelance talent pool is being used by companies at any one time.

In fact, I'd say my issues with sites like these is that most of them are exclusively for people who aren't that good.

I did the most remote freelancing at the earliest point in my career, while still learning, and given the cost sensitivity of most companies that hire freelancers, I'd say it works real well for that.
