Quite right. The best description I've seen of this is Darius Kazemi's talk at XOXO 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_F9jxsfGCw
I'd argue in the face of multi-billion dollar marketing and truthiness by Big Food (e.g. creative ways to include sugar on a list of ingredients to distort the volume of its content) , that many adults also "lack the ability to fully realize what their choices entail".
Am I unusual in never plugging my iPhone into my computer to begin with? Contacts/Calendar/Notes/Email/Backups all sync via iCloud, and even if you're still using iTunes to manage your music library (instead of one of the streaming services), that syncs over wifi.

I've got a phone charger in my bedroom and one in my bag and those are the only things it ever gets connected to.

Who cares what the other end of the cable is shaped like as long as it's the same kind as your charger?
They dont boot a "complete OS", they boot the kernel and a process - that is it, not your systemd which brings in Firefox kind of "complete OS".
> But that's not the same as 'appreciation,' which requires some education and experience, maybe even some aptitude.

OP's point is that without the information about the price and make of the wine, your brain alone can't "appreciate" anything not matter how educated and experienced you are. If someone tells you you are drinking a rare extremely expensive french 100-year-old vintage, your brain will "appreciate" it, even if it's actually cheap box wine.
Half the positives on this list I find to be kinda crazy to be positives. For example having Facebook Messenger handle your SMS messages. Really? You want to voluntarily give all that info to a company as user hostile as Facebook?

Less drastically I question the need to hide apps away in an app drawer. If you don't use the app then just delete it. Am I alone in feeling that way?

I'm glad he's happy and the Pixel seems like a great phone but this list just felt half crazy to me.
>>Someone's gotta build and repair those self driving trucks, ey? And it won't be robots or software developers with a laptop, it's gonna be non educated hard working males of all colors who are not afraid to get their hands dirty.

Presumably it will mostly be the people who currently repair the trucks continuing to do so, which still creates the problem of what to do with the former truck drivers replaced by autonomous drivers.
I found a few of the idea repetitive to season 1 and 2, I haven't finished all episodes but I like 6 the most so far, because it presented a novel threat. And similarly and more immediately you could imagine [SPOILERISH HINTS BEYOND] a self-driving car virus that would use facial recognition to create an assassination capable vehicle botnet. Episode #2 has implications of simulated torture which is interesting but has already been treated a few times.
"3. Deep Google integration - This shouldn’t be surprising in any way, but having Google built into pretty much everything you do on the phone is seriously useful."

This is my main sticking point with Android lately. I would much rather have a stock Android OS + device from Google, and then add the few Google services I want. Instead Google is getting more and more baked into everything, and understanding how my data is being used is becoming more difficult - and this has me worried.
Before reading the article I thought it was going to be about taking people's DNA samples and using that to select the wine (https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2016/10/us-startup-claims-...) or using the phase of the moon (http://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive...) but it actually sounds quite sensible.

I occasionally drink wine (in the restricted sense, i.e. made from grapes), but I prefer beer. There's a lot more variation in flavour (because there are at least four ingredients in beer, and umpteen different recipes), and even the very best beers - things like Trappist ales - aren't obscenely expensive.

I love programming but I want it to be boring. Boring means no stress, attainable deadlines, repeat ability, the ability to walk away, and the ability to tell these 10-hours-a-day hacks to fuck off. Boring means 5-nines reliability without a devops team because the design was simple, elegant, and most importantly worked. Boring means you're able to get it right the first time. Boring means being able to have a life, with other passions or hobbies completely unrelated to programming or code or geeks, which frankly everybody needs because we nerds are an unbearable bunch.

I want to slap all these Show-HN innovation fetishists that reinvent the same thing over and over again. They make life worse for everyone.
There is an upper bound to the loop. People die. People lose interest (thereby changing the population). People get annoyed and thereby more willing to do stuff to change. Not mathematically provable, but works in most situations because humans are adaptable.

*edit: I feel a little disappointed that people don't seem get the humor in my post. Maybe dying because people voted chocolate ice cream but you wanted vanilla is a reasonable scenario for some.
I have been programming digital computers for four decades and I still find them magical. A machine does things at your command while being composed of simple understandable parts -- programming is magic that works! How can that possibly be boring?

Sheth did not have under 100 apm. He was infamous for not having a high apm in the early game (people like to spam keys in early game for many reasons). He still had over 200 apm once the game got going. This is on the low end for pros in sc2.

Maybe they have data to suggest that plugging an iPhone into your computer isn't a very common use case anymore. I personally haven't plugged my iPhone 6 into my computer more than once or twice since I got it two years ago. With iCloud backups I now just drop my phone on a dock or plug directly into the wall on a daily basis. Even at my desk at work I use a dock thats plugged into the wall vs. my computer. I don't want iTunes popping up, scanning my phone etc etc. every time I return to my desk and plug my phone in.
It is ironic that they showed Coke Cherry Zero when it says they replaced all the sugary drinks (except natural fruit juices) with water and zero-calorie drinks.

(Coke Zero is also my first choice and I didn't know it came in Cherry.)
The "state subsidised" system also subsidises these:

* People having children (more health visits and possible complications)

* Those who drive (more accidents versus public transport)

* Those living further south (more sunshine -> more skin cancer)

* People with hobbies like rock climbing (more likely to get injured)

* People who consume alcohol (more likely to get health issues)

* People with pre-existing conditions

I'm sure there are many many more examples where individuals do things that put them at greater risk of some health concerns versus other groups.

What I would be interested in is how these companies use Rust in their stack and what kind of problems they can solve. I suppose not every company can divulge this information but it would be awesome to know where Rust fits in for them.
Lots of these are mutually exclusive. Don't sweat work and work 8 hours a day, but if you're in debt, work hard. Don't spend any money and live like the average person and don't drink but fall in love. Where will you meet this person who loves your boring frugal 20 year old self? Don't go out, but enjoy sex now. Don't be in debt but follow your dreams.
>Linux .net core + typescript, they seem to be killing off visual studio, IIS, Windows Server, etc.

Yup.

Kill it all- transition it to linux, put linux on azure, or build systems on azure profit / rent-seeking.

vsCode only exists because vstudio isn't multiplatform and never will be but they need multiplatform in order to make their slice of the cloud revenue larger.
The section on not running databases with Docker isn’t really fair. Of course you wouldn’t use something that crashed all the time to run your database server, but Docker’s not designed to crash. It has volumes and you can do regular crash recovery with it. Crashing hard and taking the host’s data with it shouldn’t be a likely scenario and should be prepared for about the same as disk failure – have redundancy and make backups.
Do you feel an onus to actually propose a mechanism by which these fraudulent voters can predict the future? I can't tell if you're trying to drag your argument into the absurd or if that actually seems logical to you.

Achieving real-world service objectives via cloud infrastructure requires a different approach to architecture, data management, process design, service ownership, availability, cost management, the list goes on.

Some uses of cloud services are superficially comparable to old-school bureau computing. But to say it is "just someone else's computer" is trite, grossly misleading and downright bad advice, because treating it as such will get you burned.
I was thinking the same thing, I can't even remember the last time I plugged a phone into a computer. Even if you need to charge it, you're better off plugging it into the wall unless you have a lot of time to kill.
And this time it can't be drugged.

That's how MOOCs should function, too.
Having confidence and trust in your code, and having less surprise runtime bugs in your code would naturally lead to a more enjoyable coding experience, I'd imagine.
I think you're being too uncharitable to the expert. It sounds like his point was that caching on disk is conceptually similar to caching in RAM, and that therefore, for purposes of prior art, you should probably list inventions that cached in this (similar) way. IOW, an engineer reviewing the literature should have included inventions that cached on disk if they were otherwise similar.

Remember, prior art is intended to demonstrate the extent to which your idea is new. It makes a big difference whether the inventor thought of caching at all vs whether they just used an existing caching scheme and swapped out the implementation for a faster one.

Posters on HN make a big deal about obvious patents being granted because someone took an existing invention and added "...on a computer/the internet". Well, it's a similar problem when someone takes an existing mechanism and says "... but on a faster storage medium instead".
This is exactly my point. When Sally has to pay the consequences for Joe's choices, she will have her own ideas about what Joe should do, and try to force him to do so using her vote.

This turns ordinary differences of opinion or culture into political fights.

If Sally doesn't have to pay for Joe's poor choices, Joe can figure out for himself what he feels is best, and that's called freedom.
It's a problem that needs to be solved. Or it's a savior for our tech industry. And nominally other industries.

It's the core of the reason we can't have equality and also the rallying cry for people who want equality.

It's a dividing line used to decide who is in v. out from many, many different perspectives.

It's a religion, and a rallying cry for people who want religion to have less, or no influence on public discourse.

It's a very fluid concept depending on what the speaker believes and what the speaker wants the listener to believe.

Most of all, it's a hot topic.

What's more, the scientific field is full of (actual) experts looking at identical evidence, yet coming to different conclusions. That's the nature of inquiry.

The systematic enterprise that we refer to as "science" is inductive in nature far more often than most adherents to scientism tend to realize. Even deductive conclusions are ultimately reached with nearly endless (and often unstated or unrealized) assumptions, and assumptions don't always turn out to be correct.
As a rule, I don't make relative comparisons - I did here because I wanted to highlight a difference that exists between the allegedly worse lifestyles of robber barons in 1916 compared to average people in 2016.

I don't disagree that constant inner growth through learning and challenging myself is important. It's just my learning and challenging has more to do with the relationships I have with my friends, family, and community, and with my hobbies and personal interests (which are economically worthless), and not with learning new Javascript frameworks so I can take time away from doing the above to write web applications.

I make what of it I can - and I do get some mild enjoyment out of many jobs, particularly when I get to work closely with customers to solve their problems - because that's the way the world works in 2016, but I'm not going to lie and say I think it's a great thing. It is hard to imagine being less happy in a life where I could do what I wanted without worrying about whether it paid the bills.
Me too. I'm just weary of it appealing via marketing to those without the skills to fully understand their choices or to understand that their are being advertised to, like children.

You are among the few (yes yes even here on HN). And google doesn't make money with you. So who cares?
With google stepping away from masking your ad profile it is even more troubling... Apple doesn't get enough praise for protecting user's privacy IMO, or perhaps it's just really something most people don't care about...

The nightmare is also that in some countries, when the police knocks on the door to arrest you, you might get killed in a gruel archaic ritual called "execution" at the end, even if you did nothing wrong, just the odds were against you. Here in Germany I do not have to fear the police. If if the judges wrongly sent me to jail "for life", at least I'd have some hope that one day I can convince them they were wrong and get to freedom again.
Having a unified way of how to spell things is quite different then prescribing what to call specific things. Which luckily outside of very limited areas (legal terms, protected names and trademarks) doesn't exist in your example countries either.
That fork was long enough ago that those issues are moot.
I had the chance to play around with the Pixel and it is really cool.

Honestly I'd probably pick one up if not for the poor, IMO, speaker quality. If you like to talk to your phone Google definitely has the best voice assistant
> I've taught myself to enjoy damn near every food and drink out there and I am immensely glad that I have—I now inhabit a world filled with delights.

Well yeah, when you have drugs to "teach" your brain how to enjoy something (i.e. "this flavor = feel goods"), it's not that hard. I always figure that having to aqcuire the taste of something via drugs is a warning sign that said thing is probably not good for your body. Take tobacco connoisseurs for example.

I don't doubt that they can taste and enjoy lots of "woody" and "grassy" flavors in their smoke, but to someone like me without the acquired taste, it smells foul and acrid, and my brain is warning me to stay away.
It's never been about the features. We have this conversation every single time.

Users care about the experience, and features are only a portion of the experience. That's what Apple really truly gets and other companies miss time and time again.
Pretty soon AI for games will be so good that we won't have to play online multiplayer for a really good authentic experience. Once we can't tell the difference between the AI and an actual human playing.
I bet you could run an analysis of "move quality" for the human player, find out where the moves he is making would rank in a list of possible moves sorted by value of the AI's quality function, and select the same-percentile moves for the computer AI to make (from its available moves).
I think it's at least fine to say that the parent is to some extent equivocating anecdotal personal "evidence" with extensive research and drawing very different conclusions.

Much of the criticism I've read of "The Better Angels..." has towed a similar line. It's obviously a hugely complicated subject, with at best terrible data for most of the period under examination, but I found that Pinker really did synthesize and explore a tremendous amount of data, history and theory in a way I found intelligent and compelling.

Pinker at least offers a more substantial counter-narrative to the standard news cycle where you're likely to get shot the next time you walk out your door. I would argue that view drives greater violence through a disproportionate law-and-order response to even the suspicion of a crime.
That's when you should constantly be frustrated about being white and having a dick.

Not just that, CoreOS is basically made to push systemd-nspawn as a container framework as hard as possible.

I think the messenger part was the ability to give an app of your choosing permissions to be your default SMS app, and in this case he chose Facebook's.

App drawer, it's personal preference but personally I like having a single home page and the rest of my apps in my drawer. But again that's just personal preference, I'm sure a lot of people would call it a negative because they have to manually move an app out of the app drawer every time they install one.
> VSCode vs Visual studio are not competing efforts

Yet. Little by little, rather than invest in windows-only vstudio, they'll enhance code until it's building all the same stuff as studio and then they'll announce how amazing code is and stop talking about studio alltogether.

When MS ghosts a product, you know what its future is.
That's how compression was first explained to me, and it really stuck with me ever since. It was in the context of an image though, and instead of heads, it was red pixels.

What's really cool is that the simple explanation can be extended to explain things like why ciphertext doesn't compress well: because ciphertext has no patterns

> The danger is in the smoking, not the addictive substance.

Actually, that's incorrect. Nicotine acts as a stimulant and constricts blood vessels, which causes all kinds of serious circulatory problems in the long term - high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes and so on.

Unfortunately there's no easy way around nicotine, you just have to stop ingesting it.

The gum/patch can alleviate the withdrawal symptoms, but you'll still have to quit the gum.

From http://whyquit.com/pr/082613.html

A 2013 Gallup Poll finds that 92% of successful ex-smokers did not use the nicotine patch, gum, Zyban, Chantix or Champix, that most quit smoking cold turkey.

> Are people liking the latest season of Black Mirror?

Yes, it's a good one.

> San Junipero, which everyone says is the really good one

Average, by my standards. They had a great premise and all they did with it was tell a love story.

The really good episodes are S03E01 for taking the quantification of social status to an extreme, S03E05 for an interesting take on the banality of evil and S03E06 for managing to be annoyingly moralizing and very well done at the same time.

> I loved the first two seasons because they felt like intelligent, worrying criticisms of futurism, social media and technology

Same here, except S01E01 that had none of those qualities and nothing in common with the rest of the series. If that bland and silly social critique was the basis on which the network ordered an entire season, it was a small miracle.
No, I haven't read the book. How did this situation arise? A penalty for being noticed can't apply to using a fixed desk, because in a state of nature 100% of employees use fixed desks, making the trait impossible to "notice". The first guy to sit at someone else's desk would be noticed. You'd need to implement a penalty for favoring a desk. This makes up most of my prior comment, but you haven't responded to it at all.

> That also serves as a visual indication of when you got in to your coworkers.

This sounds like an excellent way to be noticed. If you don't want to be noticed, you need your actions to carry less information, not more.
fair enough, you're probably right
Brutal MacBook Pro 2016 Parody Ad Has No Mercy for Apple
I completely agree with you dude. I don't mean to imply that these issues are irrelevant. What I'm getting at is these issues are so aggrivatingly clear cut from a personal liberties perspective that they should have been resolved decades ago. Allowing people to marry who they want to, and giving people full autonomy over their bodies doesn't hurt anyone.

Yet we let these issues continue to decide our elections. For the top hat wearing monopolist, it's great because politicians/pundits are so busy campaigning for/against abortion that nobody points a finger at the soul sucking corporations who run this country.
I'm curious if you or the parent have any suggestions for a problem I've been thinking about.

I've been building a search engine for standalone lectures (https://www.findlectures.com). For me, the ideal outcome of being introduced to a new concept is that an idea sticks in my head for a while and won't let go, and I'd like to help people replicate that experience.

Are there ways that you could track something that gets at whether this happens for people, or is this so qualitative that the best option is to interview users?
Would it matter if the cost is shared in common as a tax? This seems like the best option considering people assume the alternative must be that they are the only ones with the burden when all would in fact share it.
