I really don't understand why people are getting so worked up of company X of Y being first or debunking Apple myths....

This is 'hacker news' which implies that a sizeable percentage of visitors are 'hackers', a species known for its appreciation of fact over fiction. Let the first be the first, and stay that way, even if a while later someone else comes along and does it again but this time with racing stripes and spoilers.

Here there be logic, cold hard facts and objectivity. Save the subjectivity and waffling for Emacs <-> Vi and the like.
It’s also an interesting task: How do you configure a folder so that two users, who are in no common groups, can read, write and execute everything? Even if the other user uploaded it with 700 set?
I have to second others' concerns. Not because I distrust you -- in fact, because of your other contributions to JS development, I'm happy to spread the word...but that's the thing, I would already tweet about this on my own. So would most people in this sphere who have Twitter accounts. And these people also happen to be the kind to really be anal about giving app access. And other free books (Zed Shaw's, for example) give free HTML access while enjoying popularity through social network sharing, so mandatory tweeting is not a requirement for word-of-mouth success.
As a graduate student, I was lucky to have an advisor that let me work on research from anywhere as long as I was getting stuff done. I tried to work in the office a few times, and a couple loud people made it almost impossible for me to accomplish anything. Coffee shops, despite the presence of ambient conversations, were much more effective for me. I haven't quite figured out the difference between coffee shop noise and office noise — I just know that I can tune the former out, while the latter makes it difficult to concentrate.
Material Design, contrary to the one you see in iOS or in Windows phone, isn't totally flat. The difference is that objects, such as popups and buttons, have shadows.

Also my main gripe with other flat designs is that it is now hard to see what things can be clicked, because now all of a sudden things are flat without a 3D hint, never-mind the tactile feel you'd get with real objects. But MD compensates not only with shadows, but also with its usage of animations, which are used to get hints about the objects you can interact with. Hence I disagree with you, as MD's direct opposite is not skeuomorphism ;-)

> it also drives me nuts that Google insists on forcing MD where it doesn't belong. They refuse to follow conventions on iOS

Have you seen Apple's apps on Android? I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, because Apple's only Android app is Apple Music and it's a piece of shit. At the very least Google's Play Music is usable on iOS.
Why should we be disappointed if it's not actually artistic-genius-in-a-box? Here is an interesting new technique that's just been invented. Its artistic possibilities have barely been touched.
Foreign Policy has a reporter at Russia's main "national-security brain trust" and apparently Russia's top leaders are very scared that Clinton will start a war with Russia: https://foreignpolicy.com/2016/09/07/the-kremlin-really-beli... So it's not surprising that they continue to sabre rattle.

Especially considering that creating a 'no-fly zone' in Russia is being thrown around by a number of American politicians and seemed to be a core Hillary position regarding Syria. A US general recently said that doing so would basically involve starting a war with Russia and Syria: https://youtu.be/8mNgElVy7eQ?t=3m20s

I another recently heard on the War Nerd podcast that an influential US foriegn adviser was talking on Twitter (can't find the tweet just now) that we shouldn't be so scared of Russian's air defense in Syria since their S-300 [1] has been around since the 1970s, and surely we know their weaknesses by now. But this weapon is still a serious threat and this isn't even considering the fact S-400 could also be deployed. It's scary to see these threats downplayed by the people who have politician's ears while the military still takes them seriously.

So I really hope the US treads carefully in the future because the world doesn't really benefit from an escalation here. It's sad that Russia is being used as a political gambit rather carelessly. Considering there's almost always a diplomatic avenue that could be taken to avoid war but it takes careful handling which I feel is largely ignored, likely because they don't see a war with Russia as a real possibility so they don't feel the need to hold back their vitriol. But it seems those words are being taken seriously in Russia by the people who matter.

It's also protectionist Chinese policies, weak manipulated Chinese RMB. China promotes exports, and buys USD to weaken the RMB, which is why so much manual labor funnels through China and why it's cheaper to buy from China. You'll see that that the whole product category of photo replica paintings are dominated by mostly Chinese sellers on Ebay, etsy, and among our other competitors.

Actually, Instapainting's rise is due to my replacing the Chinese middlemen with software (disclaimer: not all artists on our site are Chinese), which is even cheaper!
The surface book picks up fingerprints pretty steadily, but it's not as bad as other devices I've owned, and they're very easy to clean off.

You gotta pay 10% on top of your bill to have Trusted Advisor. (that's part of the pro support plan).

Last I checked there was no advice on instance size. I've seen one or two, nothing meaningful.

There are lots of advice for reserving instances though, and they are extremely poor. Listening to them would be a good way for us to waste $10k/month :D
WRT the name, Material design is (very loosely) "Skeuomorphism in behavior, not in look".

The idea is that things should act like their physical counterparts where it makes sense. So when you slide a drawer in from the left, it should cast a shadow on something below it, it should slide over-top of things.

Things should always "come from" somewhere, instead of just fading in and out. They should have a "home", and that home should be consistent (EX: the drawer "lives" on the left of the screen, new items in a list should populate by zooming up from the bottom, etc...).

That doesn't mean you can't violate the "laws of physics" by having stuff change shape and size, but the animations and effects should convey a sense that the dialog box or element you are interacting with is a "physical" thing.

Opening a note in a ToDo app should zoom in from it's position in the list to the full screen, saving it should send it back to it's original location. 2 items at the same "elevation" on the screen should never slide over one another, they should either clearly go over or under one another. Deleting notes should send them offscreen somewhere, not just blink them out of existence. Buttons should ripple with ink from where you pressed them to convey that the click/touch was received. Action elements should stand out from the page like physical buttons with a shape and shadow and consistent positioning.
That last sentence struck a chord with me - I remember (during my traveling) being onsite for an "ERP implementation warehouse" for a major company with hundreds of workers and inadequate ventilation - place seemed like hell and I felt sleepy the entire time I was onsite. Glad when that week was over.

Maybe I'm just sensitive, but when "life support" is off in an office (e.g. later in the day or early in the morning where HVAC is turned down), I take that as a cue to not be present. I can always work from home with VPN if needed.
You are correct. While this could be used against a city, its real purpose is to focus on attacking bunkers where other countries' nukes are stored.
I want to like Notion. It's great in theory but it's not ready yet, at least for me. It does a lot which is awesome but doesn't seem to do any of those things great. I love all the different formats of things it supports / handles though.

I need something that is easy to use on mobile.

If it's supposed to replace my bookmark tool I need to be able to add a bookmark with one click and categorize it etc. Same with my todo list and general notes.

Will follow the project though.
Thanks for releasing your code for this! Also really enjoy your cs231n lectures on youtube.

There is some grain/small repeating pattern in many of the style transfer pictures I've seen - could it be an artifact of this? http://distill.pub/2016/deconv-checkerboard/
I've seen this in some cases, but I've seen far more people ruin and/or shorten their lives with videogames and food.
Thanks for the link. I found the talk very insightful.

I would imagine Linus to disagree with Sandi's approach, though. She is never eliminating the if (as in: the conditional jump), just moving it from plain sight into the magic of dynamic method dispatch.

If what you're asking is true - that desperate Chinese painters are being exploited to hand paint pictures of happy memories for wealthy foreigners, this is quite dystopian.

But I'm not sure that's a fair representation
The hype bubble of Twitter is being deflated.
Social conservatism.

Even if I take your point that big government can be good, one has to concede that it succeeded with social conservatism. Ever since social liberalism took hold, things have gone steadily downhill.
I bought a fancy PC, a Vive and the Rift to play with them and see how the tech is shaping up.

The Rift may be better now given Zuckerberg's demo and the shipping touch controls, but I ended up selling it. Playing with an Xbox One controller was a pretty bad experience (with the one exception being the space game) and it was overall pretty disappointing compared to the Vive.

The Vive with room scale is something different - it's really impressive. The touch controllers work well and the movement feels natural. The content right now though is pretty limited and Oculus has tied up a lot with software exclusives.

Maybe Oculus will do well with the social stuff they're working on (demo was cool) and GearVR might save them, but the Vive is a much better product right now and worth playing with if you can.
To be fair, Apple Music is a piece of shit on iOS, too.
And along this same line is the (terribly named IMO) React toolbox. http://react-toolbox.com/
I'm interested in this as well. I'm not wholly familiar with the shipping process, but does the business rely on taking advantage of any shipping cost discrepancies?

> What do a bunch of geometric, flat-looking, solid colors have anything to do with "materials."

The idea of material design is not to by flat at all, but to use depth as a cue of information hierarchy. The material design spec has some more information on this:

https://material.google.com/material-design/environment.html...

But I think some of your points are valid - in that a lazy implementation of material design is essentially making things look Googley and calling it a day - sometimes resulting in flat design.
Maybe the rise of the automatons will keep humanity in check.
Unfortunately I have noticed the same with multiple issues. Seems that's an organizational problem that yarn can't solve.
a) How is this article in any way related to lobbying?

b) Even if we assume Trump somehow managed to implement his plan, how is it not going to be struck down immediately as a violation of the first amendment? Campaign finance and lobbying are incredibly broken right now, but they currently exist because of a legal framework that can only be changed by a constitutional amendment that (partially) exempts political speech from the promises of the first amendment.
"I have to say this is the first time in years when there's a feeling that MS has outpaced Apple. The product looks amazing."

Cool, not my experience though.
My circles have had voca l bearish views on Twitter longer than their bearish views on Yahoo. But the bear view of Yahoo started before the Twitter IPO.

Both are in a tight spot. T is just more recently "high-flying" than Y.
This is crazy. The GDP per capita in China is totally different than the US and Europe. You're accusing Chen of exploiting these people, but it's more plausible he's providing them with opportunities they're grateful for.

The idea that he's running a virtual sweatshop has more to do with your own biases and preconceived notions than reality.
Wonder if Twitter will end up like Delicious. Even with Pocket, Diigo and such, I'm not sure what people use to save bookmaks these days. Delicious went through several hands, Diigo was almost there but their bookmarklet doesnt let you know if you already have something tagged. Delicious abandoned their FF plugin and so its basically not worth using the site anymore.

I'll be honest, I wont miss Twitter if it dies out, as I'm not a user. The thing I hate is how Twitter killed RSS for many browsers and users. So if Twitter dies, so be it for causing that to happen.

I'd venture to bet its more likely that people are more likely to go to the casino and have a few beers than go to the casino and have a few joints. Marijuana generally makes people more relaxed and content to stay at home rather than venture out.

Furthermore, someone who is drunk and gambling, will likely make many dumb decisions that are profitable for the casino. It's a lot easier to get a gambler to continue gambling (and losing money) by feeding him more booze. Give him more weed and he'll just fall asleep.
I see, so it's basically the same as releasing Open Source software only that you need a plausible selling thing, possibly with a physical product. I'll start trying to sell some of them, thanks (:
This thread is brought to you by Bose quiet comfort headphones. They are amazing!
I always appreciate Gabe's stance. I'm not an artist, and so these devices aren't for me, but it's really cool to hear from someone whose job is to actually produce content on a day to day basis, and to produce the kind of content these devices are targeting.

It feels much more relevant than hearing random hot takes on the internet about how the number after the graphics card name should be larger.
Has a Black Mirror episode predicted the future of video games?
Predicting the outcome of a case from the text of the decision in the case (even if only the facts and law sections) isn't that impressive, since that material is selected from all the facts and law that has been presented and considered to focus on what is relevant to and determinative of the outcome.
I will never understand why this is such a point of contention on HN and why it isn't accepted that some people legitimately prefer open office plans while others prefer quiet. And even more practical and intelligent would be to offer different kinds of spaces so that people can choose where to work based on a particular mood. But instead we just get weekly complaints about open offices.

I'm probably more productive in a quiet private office space but is the point of my work solely to be most productive in the role I have right now? I organically absorb more information about the company working in an open office. That information can have a valuable impact on my work. I end up organically sharing ideas with my co-workers more often in an open office. And in terms of long term happiness I don't want to spend every moment of every day alone coding. There's a balance to be struck.
Agree 100% there are thousands of offices out there with photoshop monkeys making web pages, signs, adverts, car wraps, promotional material, etc etc all of who would love to have one of these. All those ageing iMacs need to replaced soon.
Given this description, that doesn't seem any worse than the AWS support. /s
I agree. Twitter has had some bad, public things happen to them, which pretty much guarantees a slew commentators will pile on to prophesize their doom. It doesn't help that Twitter is a high profile company that was once the symbol of the great new age of technology companies, and that they have been known for some time now to be struggling. The narrative just fits together too well for the media at large to resist.
Why would you set the session before the password has been evaluated?
The US ban froze all existing funds though. The vast majority of "winnings not paid" were directly blocked by government action, not to mention any non-gambled deposits frozen. It effectively turned a shady industry into one with a 100% theft rate overnight.

That might be justifiable as an action against immoral or criminal practices (and those did happen), but it's sure not for the benefit of the players.
I was certain you'd get in tbh. Your head game and confidence seemed on point. I was pretty confident that I was getting in I had like 49 embedded views. I'm bummed but oh well. Life moves on. It was my first time applying so I feel like a dick complaining about not getting in. Plus, I'm solo and non-technical. I was hoping that my hubris and ability to communicate would get me an interview.

Whose "focus on Monsanto" are you referring to? The article's? Or the IARC?

The article doesn't seem unduly Monsanto in any case.
Adelson is on the wrong side of of quite a few issues if you look into his many activities. He is almost comically villainous.
That's an interesting observation. I wonder if that 99.6% figure is a mistake or if they use a different coverage definition for wireless, because the numbers don't add up.

Looking at the map, the northernmost county has barely any HSPA coverage. Nevertheless that county has a population of a quarter of a million inhabitants. To get 99.6% coverage, you'd still have to cover over 200 000 of those and everybody else in the country. That's clearly impossible as 100 000 inhabitants in that county live outside the ten largest "metro" areas.

There's just no way of not covering a lot of roads if if you aim for coverage in the high nineties with such a dispersed population.

If you think professional graphics and 3d editing software aren't as bloated and shitty as IDE's then you are mistaken.

Adobe CS suite ... that's a load of hot steaming garbage when you try to load it up.

They are one of the really bad culprits causing designers and graphics pro's to need fast SSD's.

Think having multiple copes of IntelliJ IDEA AND Eclipse running at the same time, and being saddled with poorly optimized code paths. (Because designers often need to run Photoshop and Illustrator, and sometimes Premiere as well for example, simultaneously)

In fact, I think photoshop on a code quality level (loading, optimizations) is worse than Eclipse by a factor of 2. Designers have been getting around this by throwing brute force processing power, gpu, and SSD's at it.

The image processing algorithms are top notch, that's why people buy it - but everything around it ... the ui, widgets, update framework, a ton of it is creaking old and really poorly maintained.
>Do you think people know they are paying for cheap Chinese labor when they purchase? If not, do you think they would care?

Doesn't matter. This service is for the bourgeoisie, today's young professionals who want to emulate the painted family portraits they have seen in rich homes. The fact that it comes from a "startup" probably adds to the coolness. These customers wouldn't know how to find a local portrait artist if they wanted to, nor would they be able to afford it.
> Lil Wayne has a wonderful line in his song 6'7', "real G's move in silence like lasagna". Unbelievable.

Sorry, I'm too thick. I mentally thought of a gangster moving laterally, splayed out and wondered how it would be quiet. I had to google this to understand that he meant silence like the letter 'G' in 'lasagna'.
I'm sorta indifferent to it, but these are what I've slowly picked up on.

> The name

I think what they are going for is a language agnostic building set of icons/interactions that sorta relate to real physical objects. Without becoming "floppy disk means save" in 2016

> The look

I think they want high contrast, and for it to work on any device aspect/orientation. And somehow take the previous to a pretty far conclusion.

> looks like you ripped off Google's stylesheet

I'm pretty sure this is just Google's site.

Hello,

i have made Instagram Analytics for business customers. I will be grateful for any comments how to make it better. Also i'd like to get some advice on how to promote it.
You're correct. It's imitating style, not creating substance.

This is effectively the 2d image version of those "random text generators" that ape a given style. It's really interesting and cool but it's not "Hollywood AI" in any sense.
> The suburban house people complain that it costs them 1-2k Euro to pay for the fibre, but they pay for it.

I think that's the difference - the costs are upfront, not paid by capital/loan with the subscriber having to pay for it eventually.

Rationally, most people wouldn't want to pay that much into a US cable/net provider, considering their historical experience with them.
I really wanted to like the SB but I didn't like that it doesn't have a full keyboard with End, Home, PgUp, PgDown. It's not that there isn't space to include them. I ended up returning it. For something that I paid $3k for it was a dealbreaker.

An anecdote for those who hoped they'd find suggestions in the comments:

I ended up buying some over-the-head earmuff headphones aimed at construction workers (I think with a 25dB noise reduction rating). I put in ear plugs, then the headphones, and play some light music; even relatively loud and nearby conversations drop away pretty quickly. (Ordinary "noise cancelling" headphones aren't intended to block the sound of talking, and don't work as well).

The only issue is comfort; the headphones fit quite tightly. I got used to it after a few hours, and now don't mind it at all. My wife tried it, and couldn't ever adjust.
