Thats correct-the funny bit is they were using a hidden developer feature-not one of the 'Developer' drop down features but an actual hidden flag. They also observed huge internal discrepancies with their testing methodology-but instead of reporting that to Apple or trying to figure out why their test was broken CR reported their results as 'facts'. Thats why people and Apple are irritated about this.
>This is a flawed comparison because failing to update your software or keep your tires inflated or clean off your sensors would also be human decisions that could lead to adverse outcomes with self-driving cars.

It's incredibly simple to remove humans from those decisions. Just have the self-driving code refuse to engage until the issue is resolved.
"Race" is more of a sociopolitical idea with a particularly noxious history, but human groups with differentiable shared recent ancestry - while fuzzy - do exist. Because "race" can be described as a continuous distribution, it helps to think about it probabilistically: there are no "definitely Caucasian" SNPs, but we do have suites of what we call Ancestry-Informative Markers that can be use to infer the likelihood that someone belongs to a particular ancestry group. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many of the polymorphisms associated with pigmentation are informative in this regard.
The fuzziness of the continuum means that it is quite possible to define an arbitrary number of "races", depending on your chosen criteria. And admixture at multiple points in history further complicates the picture. But it is possible to discern biogeographical mappings within a generous error margin. As the parent poster points out, these mappings sometimes conflict with the those that we've constructed out of ideological convenience.

> Second hand smoke harms people.

That's why many places in the world use regulation to ban smoking in areas where people gather (like bus stops, restaurants).

> A lot of household violence is fueled by alcohol.

Hence, again, lots of regulation, also lots of social programs aimed at mitigating the harm caused by alcohol.

You may argue whether too much or too little is done in each of those cases, but the problems are recognized and addressed.

Since when is making money a questionable financial motivation?

I think it's unlikely you'll find anyone reviewing vacuum cleaners online because they love the engineering prowess exhibited by a Dyson. It's so they can make $3 off your Amazon purchase.

For all the talk of side projects and acquisitions and growth hacking and SEO, HN tends to have an inherent distrust of anyone attempting to make money online by any way other than subscription SaaS.
Not to sure how "fair" this comparison is. You see, both Symfony and Zend Framework are mostly components, doing kinda low-level-ish things. It probably means that overall their complexity is probably higher.

A more fair comparison would be to compare Lavavel against both the Symfony HttpKernel component (which is the framework part of Symfony) and the Zend MVC module (which is framework part of Zend Framework). But then again, it's probably not that straight forward.

I mean, when testing Laravel the Symfony HttpFoundation component is left out but when testing Symfony it's included, not really fair..
I generally agree. But I'm not confident they'll change. They may have withdrawn support too quick, but what do they gain out of doubling down their efforts (especially if the market is just developers)?

I've really been surprised hearing pretty popular projects that have been around for 20+ years still have issues on Windows (like Python). Working in VFX there are a lot of domain-specific open source projects that "support" Windows, but have out of date build instructions and break often just because most of the development is done in Linux.

I really think Linux on the desktop's biggest problem is having third-parties caring about it (which is a chicken/egg issue) and people's familiarity. If you need Photoshop or your trackpad driver won't work--you're out of luck. Any of the troubleshooting or debugging I've experienced hasn't been any more difficult in Windows vs Linux other than my familiarity with how the OS works. I find troubleshooting Windows much more difficult because my familiarity has atrophied since I haven't used it heavily in years.

I do think there's hope for Windows with the Linux Bash shell, docker, and virtual environments. It has always been a bit sloppy to use your current OS as your development environment.

Personally, I just want good hardware with support and I'll probably move to Linux. Battery life, a good track pad, high DPI screen (and support for it), and build quality are the major things I haven't found yet and would really convince me.
There is disagreement on whether this is currently a bubble or the next big thing. I believe evidence so far points at the latter.

Similarly, I think it's important to think of jobs in terms of behavior requirement rather than income levels.

For instance, it's well documented that radiologists are going to be one of the first jobs that suffer as a result of ML, due to it being image recognition.
Ultimately the Geek Squad does not follow any forensics process & that's why using them or anyone else in the computer repair space is dubious when it comes to collecting any evidence of a crime.

In contemplation of those "news", I recommend a refreshing lecture about free software from Richard Stallman:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-impor...

Excerpt:
"With free software, the users control the program, both individually and collectively. So they control what their computers do (assuming those computers are loyal and do what the users' programs tell them to do).

With proprietary software, the program controls the users, and some other entity (the developer or “owner”) controls the program. So the proprietary program gives its developer power over its users. That is unjust in itself, and tempts the developer to mistreat the users in other ways."
> I fully expect this release to be their Windows 8 moment

I get what you are saying and somewhat agree that naysayers are an overly represented demographically.... but...

Apple has for 5 years been operating without strong direction. By many accounts it appears to be flailing, simply living off it's cache and tech R+D created from the 3 decades of Job's rule.

It's clear Apple still makes the best hardware so that isn't in question. I do question, how they intend to stop the slow drain of talent from the company and users. They aren't supporting pros the way they did in the 80s 90s and 2000s. All the pros in movies, music, and graphic design used to use Macs. With the introduction of OS X programmers had a home. That was a strong component for influencing their coolness factor. No more. Apple alienated all of them with expensive outdated options like trashcan Mac Pro, and overly expensive unjustified new MBP. Logic isn't keeping up, FCP isn't keeping up, hardware specs aren't keeping up. iCloud is limited and isn't keeping up.

This isn't a Windows 8 moment, this a late Windows XP moment. There is a slow drain that has started. We are approaching Windows Vista when everyone really gets turned off by how broken and discombobulated every product and service gets with the current lack of strong leadership.
>They built a legitimacy and reputation for releasing documents in big dumps

No, they built a reputation doing the exact opposite. The diplomatic cable leaks for example, were drip-fed out in the exact same way. It prevents the meat of the leaks from getting buried.

The Hillary Campaign and the DNC (which is behind much of the smearing of Assange), for example, tried to bury the podesta email dump by timing the leak the pussy recording on the same day.

It likely was a little personal though. Clinton has joked about murdering him to shut him up and I doubt she was being entirely unserious.

Sure, organizations have different needs. If I lost my work laptop and my personal laptop, it would be far more concerned about the data on my personal laptop. That's the nature of personal things.

So I would agree with Microsoft that the two have different needs: individuals require more control over what and how their personal and private data is harvested by Microsoft.

The improvements to gradient descent techniques over vanilla gradient descent as well as ideas like batch normalization and residual nets have made even moderately large networks that were previously impossible to train now possible, let alone computationally tractable. Most of this work was done in the last 5-6 years. Furthermore, training can now be made drastically more robust, with far fewer empirically set parameters. This has made deep neural nets far more useful in practical application.
I gathered from Amazon and other user reviews that the NovaMin patent holder, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), figured that it would make more money in the U.S. selling it as a prescription product rather than OTC.

IIRC, there may also have been some complexities regarding the FDA, and perhaps some cross-licensing issues, that figured into GSK's decision. The information is out there, it just requires sifting through the Google hits and piecing together the true story.

The Duke research is interesting.

But saying that because they didn't find a pathway that inflammation is unlikely to cause depression doesn't really make any sense, given that major triggers for depression are surgery, infection, autoimmune diseases, etc.

I don't think anyone is disputing that depression also causes inflammation, but the idea that the causality only goes one way just seems very counter to everything else we know.
Whilst it's easy to flame about tabs vs spaces and other bike-sheddy issues online, I wonder how much people really care about it? After all, many people just get on with life when it comes to non-optional syntax, e.g. whilst many people flame about Python's use of significant whitespace, I doubt that's been a major reason for many people to actually use a different language, or some semicolon-and-braces-to-indentation preprocessor.

Perhaps stick to just one, as seems to be the case right now (whichever it is), and mention in the documentation that those wanting the other option are free to e.g. write a patch/fork on GitHub/postprocessor/etc., with the understanding that such support will eventually get merged in iff it's actively maintained for some amount of time, its author/maintainer is active in general development and maintenance for the project, and there's significant community adoption of such a patch.

Whilst not perfect, this sort of approach might better determine who actually cares enough about this to offset the community-splitting effects of allowing both; compared to a general accumulation of online grumbling.
Many OS' and apps create unsolicited TCP connections on startup to check for updates, seems a touch harsh to equate that with "Zero Privacy", also kind of hard to see how they do product updates without them...
My guess would be that is that it's not an outright conspiracy, but opportunism by individual actors (circumvrenting rent protection for example, or populism) combined with a general push toward making the city center more proper for all sorts of reasons that affect a lot of popular cities (rising value, 'fancy' tourists, etc.).

I think it's a sign of a bigger societal/urban change, and that the bigger, underlying problem is rapidly increasing segregation.

My experience with any coffeeshop is that the vast majority of its clientele is, off the top of my head: 1) left-wingish 'hippie' type, 2) muslims/'ethnic' groups, 3) working-class individuals or 4) a certain subset of tourists. Most coffeeshops have at least a whiff of seediness.

anyways, what all these groups have in common is that they're not particularly liked by those who have a stake in the future of urban centers. These places should be clean, expensive, commercial, and acceptable to as many people as possible.
I'm not sure, I think Asia could be the first destination since they have the least vested interest in personal cars, and the most pressing problems that self driving cars could solve. The only issue is training the cars to deal with lawless pedestrians and e-bikes.

Rather than a fallback driver having to physically enter the car, maybe they could take the drone pilot approach and control it remotely. There would be the latency to overcome, but the built in crash avoidance might be good enough for a relatively short/slow distance to exit the exceptional situation.

Really? So easy to think of scenarios where there _is_ no safe answer.

For example, what if it's dense fast traffic (say, one car space between each car, 50mph) in random black ice conditions and sensors suddenly begin failing so the software no longer trusts is inputs? Based on recent good inputs, accelerating, swerving, or breaking are all dangerous, and based on the loss of "vision" continuing at current speed is dangerous. The safest thing to do might be to begin honking, flashing hazards, and slowing down very slowly, but could still be way riskier than just handing control to a human driver who (in this scenario) can still see.

I can think of tons of similar situations. I have a feeling a lot of folks who think it'll be so easy are people who have mainly experience driving in easy areas and conditions.

EDIT: I could have easily made the scenario way worse: the road is curvy, or random lanes are closing and reopening due to construction. Loss of visibility then means continuing straight has a high chance of causing a serious wreck quickly rather than maybe eventually

If it's been undisputed in the time they've been making the claim - how is it disputed?

I don't think that's unreasonable to address. For CPU and GPU benchmarks they often run BenchMark2014 so you can see improvements compared to previous years and BenchMark2017 to see the latest and greatest because hardware architecture, game engine design, and graphics APIs change. You just need to figure out how best to present that to the user.

Look I create all the time. I don't think I have symptoms of depression at all.

However I am saying that what's happening is similar to depression.

I work hard on building something and scaled back on social hangouts all the time, so I can finish it. But it has been years.

I am dating but never sure if I should settle down with this one, or that one.

I think deeply about what is the meaning of it all, and I see that most people are just trying to distract themselves with work or drinks or whatever else. But ultimately I see everything as being very limited. I guess people with depression feel similar things but far more acutely.

Creating stuff doesn't turn off that thought process. Any more than a videogame character adding currency and amassing items means that the video game won't end. What good are all your virtual points then?

You weren't gaslighted. That's not what that word means. And everyone here knows how to use google. The problem here is that you said "Depression is the feeling you get from brain inflammation" instead of "there's a theory that depression is sometimes linked to brain inflammation". The former is far from factual, and it's dead wrong to claim it matter-of-factly.

Totally not surprisingly, when you google brain inflammation and depression, you get lots of references that suggest a possible link and none that justify claiming it as a fact. So, [citation still needed], and it's not because we're bad at using google.

This is a good point, which seems to be ignored by other commenters nearby.

Additionally, this seems to be a case where CR (a venerable publication with many good qualities) used results in a home-brew single-point test to characterize a system's quality.

This is not an isolated problem with this particular review. There's a lot of snake oil in audio systems, but CR reviews of audio equipment were a joke for many years because of over-reliance on specific lab measurements. CR has had issues over the years with mistaken testing of child safety seats, pet food, and other products over the years (see their wiki page).
