vs this low-res screenshot of some video or animation (can't even tell which and there is no UI visible) http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-17/a-screenshot-of-the-in...

As you said, if the app part is starting a video that could just as well be on youtube, there is no use in it. If it has a decent interface to discover different videos, it can make sense. But we can't know based on the spare facts we have and for this I blame that company, not apple. Even on their website there is not a single screenshot showing the app...

edit: so they mapped a video on to a business card with unity... http://www.indigital.net.au/single-post/2016/11/09/Indigital...

I was keeping a close eye on .family for quite a while - I'm getting married next year, so mysurname.family would have been a good domain to have both for wedding planning and personal email accounts.

When it finally came out, I eagerly went to my favourite registrar to try and buy it, and found that it's listed at over £1000. It's not a particularly common name either. Out of interest, I tried a few other surnames off the top of my head, and it seems that pretty much any domain that could be somebody's surname has been bumped up massively.

Of course, they have every right to do that, but the people buying these domains are individuals - very few of these domains are ever going to have a business use. To me, it looks like they've done nothing more than price themselves out of the whole point of their TLD.

Instead, I'm going to wait out the expiry of the .com, which isn't being squatted as such, but it is owned by a company for a single software product of theirs which looks like it was written in the 90s and requires you to send a cheque if you want to buy it. The last update was helpfully reminding visitors that the app wouldn't be compatible with the upcoming OS X Lion. One day, they'll stop renewing that domain...my time will come.
Because they have nearly quarter of a trillion dollars to say no with.

Edit for magnitude.

People seem to be too focused on jobs that will be lost because of automated cars/vehicles, but are not looking at the jobs that will be created because of that.

Think back to when people were just becoming aware of computers and how they will change the workplace. The same arguments were made - high unemployment, etc.

Look where we are today. Imagine a world without computers!

I see the same for automated driving. It will lead to the creation of more jobs than it will kill. Yes, some jobs will go, just as computers killed some professions.

Get ready for change folks. Embrace or go the way of the dodo
I'd go completely insane if it took more than a few seconds to compile something, especially as I like compiling frequently.

I remember having to work in Java codebases, and it was an absolute nightmare. Slow was the name of the game at all levels: slow to design anything, slow to write the code required, slow to navigate, slow to compile, slow to start, etc.

What are the nature of the changes you're making? Is it something you can write and debug in another (faster) language, then translate to the main language? If you were able to do it this way, then you wouldn't need as many compilations.
Clearly thats a a stepping onto something better... isn't it.

Is violating the Constitution a criminal offense?
These officers violated the law in service of the State, as agents of the State, not for personal gain or motive.

It's not at all clear that the officers are the criminals here, and not their chief, their mayor, their governor. Holding the system/state accountable is a complicated question. Civil suits are a relatively flexible tool.

When you look at police shootings, for example, we pursue criminal charges when the officers show personal malice or "hate crime", not when they shoot in accordance with their training and the department's overall use-of-force principles. It's hard to show that it's correct to throw individual officers in jail for following the will of "the People overall" and the local Executive.
Windows explorer supports ftp. Type ftp://ftp.mozilla.org into your run menu or explorer address bar and you'll get a folder view pop-up. From there it should be rather trivial to find Firefox from inside their ftp directory (not as simple as clicking a download button, but still). I'm not sure if getfirefox.com runs an ftp server.

I'm not aware of any popular OS that doesn't have ftp support on the main UI (except Android, which doesn't have a file management app anyways; not sure about iOS). Nautilus has ftp support. So does thunar, dolphin, konq, etc. You can type ftp addresses into the address bar in osx, iirc.
Please don't do things like this. It only encourages people to be lazy about producing conforming documents, and different parsers that try to compensate for syntax errors are going to do so in different ways. We learnt this the hard way with HTML.

It's important to consider the pros and cons about the Founder's Reward with Zcash, and I appreciate you trying to start a discussion, but I just wanted to clarify that your numbers are slightly off.

20% for the next 4 years goes to the "founders" (which is not just the developers, but investors as well). But much like Bitcoin the total monetary base is fixed at 21,000,000 ZEC. And also like Bitcoin, the total mining reward is halved (roughly) every 4 years, and consequently decreases exponentially until it reaches that total reward.

Effectively, this means that the Zcash Founders Reward doles out 10% of the currency to the investors/early development team over the lifetime of the currency, and in many ways mirrors a startup vesting cycle of 4 years (minus the one year cliff). Their blog goes into more detail about the reward here: https://z.cash/blog/continued-funding-and-transparency.html

Personally, I think this reward distribution is a significant improvement to the "premine/ICO" antics you see in many other cryptocurrencies/tokens, even if I think it's a little high. I applaud the team for trying something new/seemingly more fair.

Obcasio Binary Software REVIEW
Apple gets away with it because they don't have a monopoly. There's a large variety of non-Apple smartphones and tablets you can buy.

Microsoft's behavior was restricted because they were a monopoly. There were alternatives to Windows, but the court decided that they were sufficiently insignificant that Windows was effectively a monopoly. That changes the rules.

Windows market share at the time was about 95%, Apple's smartphone market share is in the neighborhood of 15-20%.

The key detail for me is that if you delete the call from the log on any device, the next sync will delete it in iCloud.

So the probably-good-enough-for-most-folks way to deal with this is to just delete calls from your log that you don't want to get archived in iCloud for 4 months.

The sure way is to disable iCloud entirely, but that reduces convenience in all sorts of ways (syncing iTunes music, for instance).

The ideal would be for Apple to figure out how to provide the services of iCloud in such a manner that they don't have access to user data. Apparently they are working on that but it would obviously be a major change, and risky too.

Most people don't care that Apple has to see their data in order to sync, but boy will they be pissed if Apple makes their data permanently unreadable. Most people want to be able to go into an Apple store and get problems fixed. Imagine being an Apple retail tech and explaining to some 50-something lawyer that because they lost their password there is absolutely nothing you can do. "Sorry man--encryption."
I'm not sure that scientists need to be super objective for science to work. The history of science is so littered with grudges, feuds, and grit in spite of evidence that it's hard to see the ground of objective rationality that many assert is behind it.

And pandemonium models [1] of computation show that the right rules of cummunication can produce astonishing order from chatic self interest. If scientst were forced to pre publish their methods and share all data -- science would probably work better. This is true even if this change had no effect on their behavior, or even if they made every effort to game the system.

This imrpovement to science doesn't ask a committee to define or measure anything ineffable, and it doesn't expect individuals to change thier behavior. It just changes the rule of interaction in a way that better favors the systems epistomological progress.

This was figured out long ago. Before people should believe you know what you are talking about, you need to make precise and accurate predictions about the future (comet should reappear on x date) or perform engineering feats (pull a ship out of the water using only your own manpower).

People just don't like this real solution because it means many (really, most) of the wild speculations they hold as dear dogma (and have been calling science) will need to be reassessed using the correct metric. There will undoubtedly be a lot of egg on many faces.
Ask HN: What simple tools or products made you loads of money?
I am planing to build a simple tool to make money.
But...why?
Honestly, if LinkedIn disappeared today worldwide, I wouldn't miss it one second. It's really more of a chore than anything else. When you're looking for a job, or looking to recruit, it's helpful, but they haven't made the case of general everyday use, and I doubt they ever will.
The metacops, obviously. Sort of like a super-internal affairs services who have jurisdiction only over other cops.
It's not the torque, tiny euro TDs make no power under 2k, where you'd be lifting off the clutch, but they have absolutely massive flywheels and vague clutches that make "just kind of dump it" a viable strategy.

Author here. Seeing some of the discussion go down on Twitter, I feel maybe I should explain further the "white supremacist" example in the post. (one tweet at me: "So now you can hide the fact that white supremacists are sending you money? F!@#ing weird example.")

When I shared a draft post with some friends, a lot of them had an ah-ha moment, so I was hoping for the same from others. I was trying to illustrate 2 privacy concerns around the graph Bitcoin exposes: (1) accidental associations and (2) exposing the people you transact with to each other.

In the blog's hypothetical, you're not receiving money from some asshole because you're collecting Klan dues from him. Rather, you performed some public transaction with a stranger. For example, maybe you sold him some tickets. An external observer of the graph who knows he's a dangerous character may start applying high odds that you, too, are a dangerous character, since they don't know why he sent you money. This would suck. And, second, this character who sent you money may also be learning things about you. Since you sold tickets to a local show and mailed them to him, (1) he's likely to live near you, and (2) he knows your return address. You really don't want him seeing that you're sending money to causes he opposes. If so, he might show up at your door.

The goal was to clear up this misconception that a private cryptocurrency is there to protect criminals. This is especially important if you'd like to post a static address on a profile.
As a fellow very-common-name sufferer, I long ago gave up any hope of getting a vanity domain name (how I wish I had paid the $25 back in 1996). Most of the new TLD seem pretty scammy to me, the costs in obtaining and running most obscure TLDs far outweigh what could be got by paying customers actually waiting to run sites off them.

I suspect that a lot of them are just hoping that enough large companies buy up kfc.blog, walmart.porn, etc to make a return on investment. Fleecing people who actually want the domains is just icing on the cake.

I am somewhat of a hypocrite, I run my blog off https://sheep.horse/, but only because I thought that the .horse TLD was silly enough to be worth supporting.
Apply throttle, point wheel, let whatever the manufacturer brands their dynamic control do it's thing. I grew up driving a manual on northern New England backroads in show and ice, and I'm quite proficient at it. My 328 wagon is far, far, better than me. This shouldn't be surprising, as it has a much higher-dimensional control space to work with, and much finer grained sensor data coming in.
It doesn't take long to get smooth with a left foot.

Also left foot braking is much more useful day to day than heel-toe. Especially if you ever deal with suboptimal traction. Plus, faster reaction times.

Yes, Firebird came to the world after Borland's Interbase got open sourced. After that, Borland continued with Interbase development and they kinda existed for a while. I have no clue what happened to Interbase afterwards, as I've stopped caring.

As a former Delphi developer, I also dislike Borland. But I very much loved their products, no reason I would dismiss one just because it was made by Borland (and I'm talking about "new" Borland, not the Borland of the 80es and early 90es which was awesome).
Did he try to write an algo for that?

This sounds like the kind of problem were I immediately decide that using some good ol' fashioned human rationale is the best way to proceed. Too many rules and conditions. Software is sometimes more difficult than its alternative.
> But jobs moving to China and India isn't solving the underlying issue

I thought we were talking about automation and technology? What do China and India have to do with this? I never said it's good for a society when their jobs are displaced to another region.

> I would really urge anyone who think that technology creates more jobs than it removes to show where those new jobs are

I would really urge people to think of "jobs" and "productivity" as separate metrics, since productivity will likely continue to climb as the number of jobs continues to fall. The challenge will be reacting to that effectively; trying to reverse the hands of time to bring back jobs is futile.

If jobs are moving from one region to another, that's mostly unrelated to technological progress. Instead, it's because low skill labor has moved to low cost markets with low standards of living. We'll get these jobs back when we have a lower standard of living then rural China and India.

In the meantime, our scientific and technological edge has been one of the few things keeping our economy semi-competitive. Can you imagine if we lost the low wage jobs and the highly skilled jobs? We probably won't have to wait much longer.

Top FBI Lawyer Argues Against Requiring Warrant for Location Data
With an Ethernet tap yes, just on the same switch not necessarily (without causing at least some disruption). For example, a DHCP configured client wouldn't accept a DHCPOFFER he didn't ask for, you'd need to do ARP spoofing which can be detected rather easily AFAIK.

IPv6 is another story though, it seems like IPv6 RA (which can also contain DNS configuration) are accepted by default by all OSes. My observation so far suggested that these overrule DHCPv6 as well.

I'll tell my TLD story. I was following .family for a long time, since my current "primary domain" is horrible and hard to say. <family name>.family sounded pretty awesome.

There was that whole pre-registration BS but it is so convoluted and expensive I just waited till it went live. It did, and when I checked on my last name, it was set at $1200/year for a normally $30/year domain. This was when I was introduced to the idea of reserved domains in this new TLD system.

So I emailed them and put forth my argument, that this TLD in particular is a bit unfair, considering I don't control what name I'm born with. I didn't think it would have any impact, because $$$.

One day I got an email and they offered me to buy it for a one-time price of $1200 and then the renewal would be set at $30. I said no. There are so many TLDs now that it's easy to get a common-word, easy-to-say one.

Here is a message I received from Gandi.net regarding the .blog domain:

-----------------

Hello,

You are getting this email because you have performed a pre-order with your handle {redacted} for the domain name {redacted}.

Unfortunately, this order is currently in error, because the domain name in question has been defined as Premium by the registry. This decision is of course beyond our control and frequently corresponds to a list of common and/or connotative words that allow registered to apply special rates to them.

This means that in your case, we have placed the order in error, because the price that you initially paid is no longer the price that the registry is charging for it.

If you would like to know the price, in order to eventually purchase it, then reply to this email, so that our support team can obtain that for you from the registry.

As long as you are considering this, do not cancel your order, since this will cause you to lose your place in the waiting list.

If, however, you no longer wish to register the domain, you can cancel it from the link provided below, and your prepaid account will be refunded for the order:

That question can't be answered. What do you think the topic of this piece was? The title was "President-Elect Trump". The piece was not about "let's talk about Trump as the future president". Rather, it was about, "things are going to get frighteningly bad under Trump".

Staying on topic and selective blindness are very different things. The latter was on bold display here, and is a defining characteristic of a hit piece.
But isn't banning top velocity on the manufacturer-level much more lower-hanging fruit than banning top acceleration? Just make it so your vehicle can't even go over legal speed limit. It should be clearer to us today how speed kills in some of the most wide-reaching ways.

Velocity is a much more obvious policy knob to tune for the goal of less vehicular deaths and injuries.

This is the perfect dilemma to bring to people who back police 100%. Who are they going to defend? The Police or the War Veteran?

Clearly the local police made various constitutional violations against a suicidal war veteran and they trashed his place and left it for him to come back to. How jaded and unconcerned?
