>The Modisette family said Apple’s failure to either program a shutoff into the FaceTime program or give strong warning about using the app while driving is particularly egregious given the app fully engages visual components rather than audio ones as with regular cellphone usage.

The absence of an explicit warning seems to me like a "better" approach, as I don't think that the "they patented it and then they failed to implement it" can have much relevance in a Court.

Still obviously if the driver of the car that caused the incident was videochatting, it is definitely his fault and not that of Apple, the same reckless driver - should have Apple implemented the "lock out" - would have probably be watching "Harry Potter" on a DVD viewer.

The patent is this one:

The "scenery analyzer", though clever, would imply access to the camera (which is obvious for Facetime, but not so much for texting), so - indirectly - it would mean more or less that you cannot cover your camera when moving faster than a given speed.

On the other hand all car navigators/entertainment systems do boot up with a safety warning, I fear that what may happen would be something like "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear":

Looks so promising. Haven't decided yet whether I'll view through these 15 whopping hours or study the written (massive-book-length) equivalent chapters on his blog..

Sizing this up, my real question now becomes: as an active day-to-day-life programmer, by how much exactly will this propel my work if I already know and use monads, basic function composition and Haskell?

I'm sure there's some amount of skill/quality/productivity payoff if you evaluate this kind of time investment over the whole lifetime-of-work outstanding, but seems impossible to judge beforehand. Any, er, "testimonials" in terms of how this actually changed work and coding for you or others, other than "just neat geeky theory to digest and reason about endlessly"?

It's just SO MUCH material to dive into (in terms of sources lectures books etc, I'm sure once grasped everyone could condense it into a single page, though fully comprehensible only to themselves, until for teaching others once again decompressed into 15-hours-of-lectures/26-chapters-totalling-book-length) and I'm still driven by this odd old urge to "just go pump out code and make programs happen" back from my earliest Pascal/Basic days I suppose..
Quite simply, this is a racket. Courts are public, and anyone can attend and write down what goes on and publish it. There is an official court reporter who does this. There is no authorship, but the reporter is granted a copyright. They then charge fees for access. The problem lies there. The courts should publish all cases in the open, with no copyright.
That however blocks lawyer and reporter revenue streams and they will protect their racket.
But the replacement is not a robot, it's just you using equipment that previously was accessible to specialized professionals only. The grocery store is the same kind of situation.

Bill's crappy insurance paid out a max of $20,000 - which seems to be the minimum legally required by law for some states. Bill had insurance so that he could drive to his job legally, without the risk of being arrested or losing his license due to lack of insurance.

Bill may or may not be liable to cover the rest of the bill - and even then, they might have to go through court. If bill is low income, which is likely true considering the fast food job and minimum liablity insurance - he might not have to pay it back very quickly. Even if they dock his pay at 25%, it'll take some time to recoup the money. By then, the hospital will have already put this into collections. Sometimes normal health insurance won't cover such things, but it is somewhat possible Medicaid would pay for it.

So, basically, Jon is screwed. The only real prize here is that if Jon's insurances covered any of his hospital bills, they are likely to take legal action themselves.

Ireland gets a fraction as much tax money from Apple compared to the US, which gets the lion's share. That's kind of the point - the US thinks they should be getting even more.

But I'm sure Irish taxpayers would welcome getting the $billion+ tax revenue currently going to fund the US government as well, if you really don't want it.
I gotta say I've tried to do the VM thing. I REALLY tried. But it just isn't something that will work for any significant amount of time.

It would break with any updates, half the time xcode just wouldn't work, and it would sometimes be so slow that you'd need to wait minutes for some fancy animation to run.

And this wasn't even to get around buying a MacBook, we had one, I just wanted to compile and sign a hybrid app for iOS easier than using another physical machine.

Then we also found later that you can't sign an app on OSX while SSH'd into the machine... It just fails with a generic signing error.

So now I have a MacBook with remote-desktop software that's just permanently on in the corner of the room so I can open the GUI once a month or so and re compile and sign the latest version of our app...

Universal Basic Income was first popularised (in a small way, and really only among economists) in the Triple Revolution report[1] given to Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. It was a report on how the US might change in the near future, and it was the work of some very distinguished thinkers (there are at least 3 Nobel prize winners in the list of signatories). The three revolutions that made up the 'triple' were Civil Rights, Weaponry (specifically nuclear weapons), and Automation.

The first two came to pass in more or less obvious ways, but the third (automation) is only really happening now - there isn't much alternative if work is automated away unless you think having a hugely wealthy elite controlling everything while everyone else starves is a good idea.

Well, there was the car accident, and I'm guessing this accounts for much of it. Likely broken ribs with the infections - coughing can do that, especially if you can't move your body into a better position.

And then outside of this: It takes some practice to maneuver a wheelchair. You wind up hitting your foot and hands and things (or others can easily do this). I'm guessing there are times when things just go badly (wheel stuck in a rut) and he winds up on the ground, wheelchair over part of him. He probably has some bones that are more brittle than we'd expect because they don't regularly bear weight (legs).

And don't forget, this is over 34 years with what seems like high risk factors and some unfortunate accidents over the time - and sometimes multiple breakings at once due to the accidents.
I agree that there are doubts about some of the models, e.g. evolutionary game theory is not a model of evolution. My problem with these kinds of evolutionary arguments is different, though.

It seems to me that their interpreters often assume that identifying some behavior as evolutionary advantageous to an individual or group is somehow correlated with the goodness or desirability of that behavior. That's a fallacy. Whether the behavior is commendable, good, desirable, etc. is not related to its capability of increasing the long-term survival and spreading of someone's genes. (I'm not claiming everyone makes this association, but some seem to make it.)

Moreover, there seem to be countless examples of behavior that we are perfectly capable of and whose effect is difficult if not impossible to explain with evolutionary arguments. Some of them are considered commendable, other not. Random examples:

- spending your life in almost solitary confinement to solve some math problem

- deciding not to have children

- waging wars

- not passing your wealth on to your useless son and instead give everything to a charity

- being gay or asexual

- writing a novel without getting paid for it and that also doesn't increase your mating chances

The list could go on and on. Of course, evolutionary explanations may be constructed for any of them, but it's kind of doubtful that all human activities fit into this scheme. So my two points are:

a.) Whether altruistic behavior is good/desirable or not has nothing to do with its contribution to evolutionary fitness.

b.) Within some limits, we are perfectly capable of behaving in ways that are not evolutionary advantageous to us.

Finally, evolutionary models of social behavior that are not based on the genetic transmission of behavior simply do not have anything to do with real evolution. I've often seen real evolution being deliberately mixed up with ideas about the spreading on information contained in books, web pages, speech, etc. but I fail to see how the spreading of this information could be even remotely related to the way genes spread. Once you hear about a social fitness function or the fitness of a meme, you can in my opinion safely assume that the author pulled that concept out of his ass or copied it from others who did so.
I wondered about the lack of a tactile response, and tried out one of the new MBPs a few days back. I'm also a touch-typist, and you're absolutely right. It bugs me immensely, not having tactile feedback.
Yes nazis, allies, indians (both kinds, but one of those terms is pretty racist, so be careful with your terminology) and europeans. We wrote all along the watchtower and invented the first digital computer. There might be a few prickly edges around carthaginians, aztecs and other civilizations we eradicated. We hung on to trigonometry in spite of eradicating the babylonians.

In this case we means humans who are able to benefit from, or perhaps simply learn of, the discoveries of other humans.

Threatconnect did a decent amount of research into the attacks[0] for trying to figure out who did the attacks. There are other security researchers out there who come to similar conclusions.

So either the government is bribing a bunch of security researchers (who doesn't want the scoop that the consensus is wrong?), the government executed a perfect false flag to blame Russia on something (why do this? It's not like having Russia as an enemy is useful for us), the analyses by these researchers are right, or something else.

My money is on a decent amount of smart people all arriving somewhere near the truth.

I see the downvotes for the parent post but no rebuttals to the phone home/privacy issues in Windows 10.

I ask this as someone who hasn't really used Windows for 10+ years, could someone who knows please discuss the state of privacy in Windows 10?

Is this a non-issue because you can turn off all the monitoring? How would one go about that?

Is it a non-issue because Windows 10 doesn't send private information back to Microsoft? What does it send back?
SF does have these signs, for example on Battery crossing onto Market [1] (including most intersections onto Market). Unfortunately it doesn't look like the intersection I see block most often (California / Montgomery) has any, and I've been honked at plenty of times waiting for the intersection to clear, so education is probably pretty bad.

For the past couple of decades, Apple computers have been over-represented in movies, TV shows, magazines photos and DJ booths. Sure, some of them were paid product placements,but I bet it was mostly free because the creatives (photogs, prop wranglers/set designers) genuinely liked Apple and/or had an Apple computer conveniently on hand. This was instrumental in making Apple 'cool'. That free advertising alone is worth billions (including home DVDs and reruns)

Merging csproj files in source control is also a pain. I think they tried to get rid of sln and csproj files but got vetoed by the community.
Haskell (sometimes) does this kind of thing much more efficiently - it doesn't specify or always provide a stack, it models the program as a graph to be evaluated by reduction. And any language where you can implement continuations allows you to write this kind of thing efficiently (e.g. https://github.com/Atry/memcontinuationed ).

(Ultimately you can do "userspace continuations" in any programming language by explicitly transforming your code into CPS, using an explicit FSM if the language doesn't support tail-calls as such, the only price being developer sanity)

I do think there's a real gap in many languages between the natural way to express graph/tree transformations (recursively) and a cache-friendly/mechanical-sympathy-style runtime - see e.g. https://medium.com/@gkossakowski/kentucky-mule-limits-of-sca... . And really this gap shouldn't be there - the language implementation should be able to transform and fuse this kind of tree-walking operation into an efficient implementation - but at the same time it's hard to see how you'd ever make the language spec permit this without resorting to a full-Haskell "everything is lazy everywhere and the language implementation is allowed to evaluate whatever it likes however many times it likes (including 0) in whatever order".

>> I suspect the current issues are caused by internal organizational problems rather than a lack of product vision.

Absolutely. If they'd figure out how to scale up such that they're able to fix the most annoying bugs filed via their bug radar, macOS would be a much better product.

The sad thing is that at some point there were more and more bugs and UX problems which I didn't even bother reporting since they were so obvious that everyone using the OS should notice.

So apparently they're not able to scale in that regard. Even completely isolated apps like Preview.app are affected.

My major mistake was taking a job that I doing stuff I didn't care about because it was a good career move.

I learned that I need to care what I'm building (self actualize), and if I don't then work feels like selling my life a day at a time. It was though a good thing to learn.

I also didn't realize that I was inexperienced. That meant I held myself to the same standards as much more knowledgeable people and worried about my performance (which was normal for a decent fresh grad). At the same time, I didn't use more senior staff to guide me on hard decisions or shield me from management, which was unnecessarily stressful.

The other big issue was sleep and generally learning to live as a working person. I needed to figure out how to eat well and cheaply. I also needed to go to bed way earlier than I did an got very tired over a couple of years. Just because at 20 you can stay up till 2am every night and still get up at 7 doesn't mean you should. Don't.

There's a number of reasons to use "we" in this context.

There's the inclusive we, and the exclusive we. For example, "We defeated the Nazis in WWII" clearly means that the person talking considers himself part of the Allies, and excludes the Nazis from the group. "We fought in WWII", however, is inclusive, and includes all sides in the conflict.

So yes, "we wrote All along the Watchtower", as in, we as a human species brought ourselves to the point of being able to write that (or, one of the bazillion different ways of interpreting that sentence). And yes, "we invented the first digital computer," could mean that you refer to the assumed implication that (some of) the people reading this board are software engineers, and "we" refers to that professional group.

But it gets a lot more fun than what you imply: there's the editorial we ("We have always fought for free speech"), the author's we ("by combining the ingredients, we obtain a compound called..."), the dictatorial we (used by managers/team leads, quite often, "We have to finish feature X by Thursday").

Are you referring to the zoom in/out?

There is no longer tweening between the start/end zoom level, so the incremental redraw of the map feels very choppy. I suppose on a low powered device, the former could less performant.

"You may not collect personal data of EU residents if you're operating from Hong Kong."

This is incorrect, unless the Hong Kong business has an establishment in the EU. This was clarified in an opinion by the Article 29 Data Protection Working Party in 2010:
http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/article-29/docum...

It's a long document, but in short, the law only applies if the company collecting the data ('controller') has an office ('establishment') in the EU, or if they're processing the data on equipment in the EU. The 'equipment' doesn't count if it's just forwarding the data on (so a router or proxy wouldn't count).

Ask HN: HTML/CSS code guide
I’ve managed to get bogged down by my own verbosity and I need a fresh approach to HTML and CSS.

I’m looking around for a boilerplate for a sensible HTML and/or CSS style guide that’s considered industry standard, or at least sufficiently neutral/accepted/non-controversial enough for when my code is passed on to other web developers so that they don’t need to reinvent the wheel each time.

I’ve collected and culled a short list of guides and will be looking through for inspiration, some of which are:

* Mark Otto’s code guide: https://github.com/mdo/code-guide

* 18F’s CSS guide: https://18f.gsa.gov/2016/01/11/introducing-the-css-coding-style-guide/

* Google style guide: https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.xml

There are many more of these around the web, and I don't need to invent a(nother) new one.

Do you have a preferred or recommended HTML/CSS style guide? I'd appreciate a pointer.

Thanks very much in advance.
