Which made the insurance for women, who are traditionally safer drivers because not taking unless risks, go up. Well facts can't be racist but they are at the same time.
Looking forward to an official Docker image for this. The Raspberry Pi is probably the main board we think of when people say 'ARM' - but the Pine64 and Odroid C2 are maybe better suited - being 64-bit and the Odroid having twice as much memory.

What kind of .NET runs on Windows 10 IoT though (on the RPi Model 3)??
Well, that was kind of inevitable.
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”

I'm kinda the same with the 303; I have enjoyed playing with them, but never got what some others can do out of them, but I think a lot is the music you're into - I was far more into prog stuff so never really got on that well with pattern-based sequencers.

I can imagine that they would want people to migrate to iCloud. That would be less helpful for those that don't have a (reliable) internet connection.
In the case of the BBC I assumed it was a political line that they were being forced to follow - still annoying though.
I think it's useful to figure out why there are discrepancies between two groups.

For example, let's take blacks in the US. The data tells you that a black person is more likely to be a criminal than a white person. There are two possible reasons for this: (1) blacks are more prone to crime, or (2) blacks are more likely to live in circumstances that make them criminals. With access to only anecdotal data, I strongly believe that (2) is true, and that if you took into account enough circumstances (e.g. single parent, school district, income level, parents' wealth) you'd be able to remove race from your model and still arrive to the "equal opportunity" result. That way, you wouldn't discriminate based on race, but you would still help the people most needy of help (poor, uneducated, etc.). I think the same applies to colege applications and sex wage gap, which is why I strongly oppose any kind of affirmative action.

Life expentancy sex gap might be a different case. IIRC, men die earlier because of some behavioural/social tendencies (working dangerous jobs, supressing emotions, risky behaviour (speeding, smoking)), so maybe there are some non-discriminatory (or at least less-discriminatory) ways of determining life expectancy (e.g. testosterone level, job description, ...). However, there are also biological differences that seem very strongly linked to the quality of being male (i.e. the Y chromosome). E.g. prostate cancer is less lethal than breast cancer, and women are more likely to get MS than men. These particular examples suggest that men should live longer, but I'm guessing there might be other gender-specific ilnesses that might reduce their (our) expected lifespan. If that's the case, I don't think it's too discriminatory to have different insurance fees for different sexes.

In all such scenarios, however, there could still be broader societal goals that would override specific instances of (non-)discrimination. For exapmle, AFAIK women's health is more expensive (because of pregnancy), but having more children benefits everyone in the society (in the West), so it makes sense to "discriminate" against men by letting women pay less for their health insurance.
I keep a bunch of small scripts for common tasks like deleting or aggregating keys maching certain criteria.

I wish redis offered a mechanism to save and call these scripts from the server, akin to the usual database functions and stored procedures.

I wonder if this was a conscious decision or something that's in the pipeline eventually.
No, I think he's more advocating for a world where we don't encode the literal status quo into computer models that make decisions for us going forward, which is something that nobody of any political stripe is likely to want.

I'm not so sure about that.

AirPorts worked really nicely when consumer Wifi stations were rather hit-and-miss than foolproof (anecdotally).

Now wireless stations are bundled with all sorts of broadband service accounts, and given Apple's market share, are probably pretty much expected to "just work" with their hardware.

Aren't wireless routers now just a commodity that incorporates very little chances to add actually value adding features?
Ugh, this is the first news that I've seen that I feel is really bad. Monitors were ok, that seemed understandable since they were for professionals to go with the mac pro. Apple's monitors were at best "prosumer".

Wifi though has always been a very big PITA for consumers, and Apple's hardware/software integration has always been a better bet for ease of configuration, and honestly, reliability.

The optimist in me hopes that maybe they'll have something better for us, or are making an acquisition to replace their current product lineup completely.

The pessimist in me thinks that maybe they're leaving this market to avoid needing to develop hardware that meets its publicly stated standards for protecting consumer privacy. Potentially they have been approached/mandated to enable some kind of backdoor in it, and they chose to stop producing it, rather than comply. /tinfoil_hat

Or (c) insurance companies still make positive returns on both male and female customers, and the regulation just reduces their overall profits without creating losses which must be subsidized by female customers.
The Post-Jobs Apple:

- Steer Apple towards its more established areas of expertise, where margins and competitive advantage is high, and the rest of the competition is dismal;

- Clip non-innovative departments where purpose and identity are lost;

- Concentrate resources where Apple's leadership is comfortable in;

- Sunset all else.

Second "o" is in fact Cyrillic "о" which looks indistinguishable from Latin "o" (unless you use some weird font without Cyrillic letters).
Is it just driving insurance or also other kinds (e.g. health insurance, where women might be paying more than men)?
That's exactly what I was thinking when I posted it to /r/btc. This actually does have legitimate applications and the idea of using information as collateral can also be applied to other problems (most I can think of are illegal but there you go ...)

I'm all in the Apple ecosystem, but I'm starting to feel pushed out. First the Mac Pro, then Displays, now this? Is Time Capsule next? My airport extreme is the most reliable home router I have ever owned.
Another sad decision by Apple. My Airport Extreme and multiple Expresses worked great. Loved the Utility app to help configure them - handy little tool.

With Apple's resources the router division cannot have been a distraction, nor would not having it materially or even to any large extent, affect Apple's numbers. Maybe this reflects a retrenching mindset taking hold within Apple?
That's annoying. Airport routers have been the only ones I've bought that don't randomly quit working or require periodic restarts.

Time to look at something like Ubiquiti I guess.
There's nothing illegal about being a monopolist.

However, being a monopolist makes certain things illegal for you to do, and some of those things are things that are easy to suspect you of, but hard to prove you're not doing.

As such, being a monopolist constrains you, as well as invites long, expensive, frustrating probes into your business that creates costs and risk (even if you're not intentionally violating anti-trust law, doesn't mean some business unit isn't inadvertently doing so).

E.g. IBM was under an anti-trust probe from 1969 until 1982 over their mainframe business. The probe ended with the DOJ concluding the case was without merit, but it is widely considered to have had a big effect on IBMs decisionmaking for more than a decade.

An interesting article. I thought this would be a feed of fake news; but I guess we have social media for that.
I think its harder and harder for Apple to charge $199 for a router when you can get a modem/router combo for $70, or "free" from comcast. The margins on these devices are declining fast. Additionally Google just released their router, and netgear/linksys etc have been dominating that market for ages.

Why allocate the manpower when the others on the market have caught up with ease of use and this generates less than 1% of your revenue?
> You cannot and should not rely on Google for anything critical to your business unless you are close friends with someone working at Google and that too at a higher up position to be able to get out of such bad situation relatively easily.

The question here is what alternatives do you suggest ?
Solid, reliable and equivalent solutions.
Ryoba is the most common type, it's the two sided (rip/cross cut) backless kind. They're really widely available these days - I've seen them in my local big box hardware store.

Dozuki is a back saw, with usually fine teeth and narrow kerf (my favorite Japanese saw is a fine cross cut Dozuki). A Kataba is a backless, single sided saw.

There's a handful of other types too but they aren't nearly as common.
What I (as a fellow European who considers the American student loan craze equally bizarre) read into the "struggle" part of nightski's post is that people approach a given education opportunity very differently knowing that it is costing them (or, probably even stronger in most cases: their parents) a lot of money, vs. knowing that it is free. I sure hope that I would have crunched harder during that time knowing that it was a crazy expensive bet and not just the opportunity cost of not entering the workforce early.

What I am not so sure is wether that hard crunch would have actually been better. I suspect that without the more freewheeling approach of European universities, I would have gone even deeper into the pointlessness of learning for the grade instead of learning for the education.

Generally speaking, my impression is that many people wildly overestimate the per-head cost of low intensity university education. Without artificially inflated budgets (driven by the misuse of tuition height as an indicator of academic quality), a few lecture halls, some professors and the usual lower echelons of academia who are basically donating their time for peanuts and the chance to occasionally publish seems to be an absolute bargain compared to other programmes designed for keeping people off the streets.

On the other hand, consumers seem to be better at configuring wireless routers today than 5 years ago. I rarely see an unsecured router with the default configuration any more ("linksys" SSID, no password).

I did enjoy using Apple's wireless routers, though.
I've never really liked AirPorts, but they were featurful. Honestly though, if Ubiquity would slap a Web UI on their stuff, they'd take-over the market.

Surprising you found them stable. I have another router to be the best of the best: Asus Dark Knight (pricey). Try giving it a try. I must have gone through 6 budget routers before splurging on this one. Two restarts in 6 years.

Troy's website is (or should be) funded out of his own pocket.

His website, is itself, one huge advert for himself, his skills, knowledge and experience as a security expert. His website, advert though it may be, is full of great content and gives him increased exposure. Through this, he generates additional revenue (i.e. his own personal income) far more than he would do if he didn't have the website and thus, the increased exposure.

Therefore, Troy Hunt is the advertiser and he should pay for his advert (his entire website) out of his own funds, since this is the very thing that generates him (additional) revenue.
Re: Netduino - I've got one of them, works really well with Visual Studio, i.e. hitting break points, stepping through code running on the board etc.
I'm surprised Apple could never figure out a way to make a profitable wi-fi router. Every household needs one, so what prevented them from differentiating their products from generic routers? It really could have been a hugely profitable product.

I would have gone with a server approach to a wi-fi router, one that does everything in MacOS Server - email, VPN, web, etc..
Why should it not be fair? Under this constraint, the perfect equal opportunity model would be a model that accurately represents who will pay back a loan.
Because self-actualization is a human need and for a lot of people education is a means for that. Because some of us enjoy creating things that are of value to others. Because life is more than survival, basically.

I'm sorry. I don't like this argument either (it's used for every minor annoyance related to Apple) and I'm not comfortable ascribing intentions to a deceased person.
Why stop there? Why not have it be open to everyone, forever, at any point of their life? Why should anyone have to work at all?
Time Capsule really should be next. Apple doesn't have any real comparative advantage in backup software. The Time Capsule interface is interesting, but it's not what most people need from a backup solution (what most people need is set-it-and-forget-it that works from arbitrary locations).
> There seems to be a strong sentiment in this thread that the only value provided by education is the contribution to career

I don't believe that's the sentiment at all. Few on here will argue against the value of a well-rounded liberal arts education. However, the sentiment is that if an education requires borrowing piles of money, it should lead to employment which can realistically service the loan.
Ah, OK. We have no need for this, so I assumed it was the emoji thing, like in other messengers.
Ubiquiti routers are really great. I highly recommend them; I've never had to restart one.
It's in French; adds a second level of difficulty due to language difference.
I did a little back of the napkin math and came up with something similar. However, 20k staff would cost Google between $1b and $2b per year, which they absolutely have. They've been consistently posting quarterly earnings of around 5b, 20b per annum.

They just don't want to pay for it, and the users don't care enough to force them to.

In addition, I think google could probably solve the problem with paid support. That would limit volume and pay for itself. Then people who are having a serious problem (like being locked out of their Reb account) could have some recourse. Unless they already do this and I'm not aware?
No, no, he's advocating for a dreadful, sinister world where a bunch of high priests strip you of your freedom to decide how you conduct business...

How much "discrimination" will be good enough in the end? I'll tell you what the endgame is: no discrimination at all, everybody gets a loan. So, in other words, no loans at all because nobody would conduct business in those conditions.
And when people move away they call it white flight and question why they didn't stick around and give back to the community. What community?

"Loved the Utility app to help configure them - handy little tool."

I agree. It may very well be just what I was used to, but I've always found the networking/configuration software very straightforward.
Meh, it's "non-replaceable" in the same manner as the Moto G 1st gen. I had that one from release (non-LTE version) until the day my Moto G4+ arrived from Amazon. About a year ago I replaced the battery for my Moto G1 for ~$20. A crap-load of screws (~15 Torx T4s) to get the back cover off, and one connector and I was done.

Went from about 5 hours of useful time (1-2hrs SOT, had to charge at work just to make it home) with about 2hrs of listening to podcasts to making to dinner time (maybe 12hrs, 2-3hrs SOT).

I figure by the time I need to replace the battery on my G4+, someone will be selling a replacement. Just cause it's not "User Replaceable" doesn't mean that someone with a screwdriver can't replace it.

On a total side note, I'm kinda pissed that the new Moto M is coming out so soon. It's practically the same price as the Moto G4+ and seems to be better. I like the USB-C, rear fingerprint sensor, and metal body. Oh well.
Are you me? I'm in the same boat but without the savings and the sole breadwinner for my family.

My dream is to build some sort of SaaS product that pays the bills and spend time outside of working on that to work on other projects that I could monetize. Unfortunately, the burnout makes this less interesting to me.

I think some time off might do you some good. I don't know what your background is, but maybe re-focusing your career might help? I've been considering a move to more of a DevOps type of thing since I like to code and I'm comfortable with infrastructure. The problem there is that there's so much to learn and the burnout kills my enthusiasm.
Ask HN: I've studied C++, now what are my jobs?
Hello HN,

I'm a junior developer, I've been using C++ for a few years, mainly for games development, and I've read many guides, many source codes to consider myself pretty comfortable in it.

However I'm now looking for a new job outside of game development, because I feel the pay for game programmers are just not very good for the amount of work. After two weeks of research, I'm finding myself at a loss of what jobs I can do.
Having just one year of work experience in games, I've never done web dev, servers, security, big data. It feels like my specialization in C++ is pretty useless outside of games.

My question is, is knowing C++ alone really that useless for jobs? Or am I not seeing something?
In the meantime, I am intending to spend some time learning Ruby on Rails to cover up the gaps.

You would be shocked at how good an ASUS router is comparably. I always have people tell me I have over killed my houses wifi but the speed are awesome and I own a home built in 1894 and has plaster walls.

I don't understand how a router can be simpler then just typing in the password unless your trying to accomplish something more complex.
