That's what we noticed as well. Calorie counting is valuable on it's own, but we think that the biggest benefit of tracking what you eat is the awareness that it builds up. It really helps you figure out what the weak points of your diet are.

Having this integrated into google glass or spectacles would be great.
You're onto a solution that doesn't require spending billions on digging: Price roads comprehensively.
Depends on which job:

Programming, machine learning: it's constantly being automated, which leads to paradigm shifts. Those new paradigms are then studied, understood, and automated. Automation is about "not doing the same thing over and over again so you can solve new problems."

Programming, games: I'm giving a talk later this month about automating game production with machine learning. You can't really use machine learning to be "creative" yet, but you can use it to generate novel game assets, which is actually where most of the time is spent in game dev. There's also a lot of pipeline improvements that could be made by existing tools companies, most notably Adobe and Autodesk. So the upshot is it will be possible for small teams to create much more expansive game worlds. Make GTA V for $1M instead of $260M kind of thing. But even then, the history of game design has been automating different pieces -- it's basically the reason for the existence of game engines.

Starting businesses: This is controversial, but I think entrepreneurship is the highest intellectual endeavor. It requires you to apply everything you've learned about life, the universe, and everything in ways that most people haven't thought of. I think you'd need a very real AGI to do this; although I suppose I could see an algo running P&G or J&J and making decisions about what brands to invest in and divest from, along with how to market based on what people are saying on social media, stuff like that.
No, let me explain why:

- Being "gifted" isn't a black and white trait, it's much more diverse;

- Different people are gifted in different topics. I've always learned maths faster than my peers, but they all dance better than I do;

- How do you even decide who is gifted and who isn't? Just give everyone the same oportunities;

But I do believe that school should be tailored to fit the student. What I propose is to allow the student to progress at his own pace:

- Classes should be open for every student that has passed all the prerequisites to join;

- The student can choose when he he's ready to take the test about the topics he already learned;

- Some teachers should keep track of the progress of the students;

- There should be always teachers with free time ready to help students who request it;

EDIT: Fixed broken formatting.
The MBA would probably be cheaper and definitely less of a commitment, especially an executive MBA.

Te reverse this trend, engineers really need to look at management as an important function. I don't see lawyers and doctors doing MBAs to move into management positions, but somehow, many engineers have this tendency of looking askance at management. That leaves the field open for outsiders to swoop in.
I don't completely agree with it either, hence the italicized maybe
Segregating gifted children in with the regular population

Do you mean desegredating, that is, keeping them in? If so, I agree, it may be bordering on abuse. I have only anecdotal evidence to support it, but I suspect there may have been studies.
The alt text on this comic is beautiful.
It is very important to use Firefox: For Microsoft, Apple or Google their "free" browser MUST eventually be a pawn in their corporate strategy. It's one thing to use a service from a company, but conceding this crucial puzzle piece to any one company? I don't know about that. Mozilla takes money from Google and others, but ultimately depends 100% on a free internet.

One could argue which browser is a little ahead in any area, and which one needs "revitalization", to use a word from the article, but Firefox would have to seriously fall behind before I would switch browsers. Do you think ad-blockers would be a thing if it was between Chrome, Safari and IE? A lot depends on a single number: Firefox' market share.

Hi Ryan - Congratulations on a maintenance management software. I currently support Maximo for a 1,500 person organization with 100 facilities technicians/supervisors using Maximo on three different shifts.

I'm glad you're working on a mobile app (iOS & Android) because enterprise is really slow to make a product that is usable for technicians. EzMaxMobile & Interloc could be your competitors.

Who do you think your competitors are?

Do you have a product roadmap for what you plan to build out as features? Will this be based on customer requests, or do you have market areas you're clearly trying to target?

Having some test items, assets, and locations would build out the demo/starter a little more.

For Time screen, bigger increments might be better such as 6 minute (0.1 hour) or 15 minute (.25 hour) increments.

Having screenshots and explanations of each role would be useful. I logged in as Admin, but I'm curious what a technician sees on smartphone. Also, how does a requester submit requests?

I can see mom-and-pop shops that might use this for their small business, invoicing, and sending automated updates to requesters (customers). You might consider a stripped down version for individuals.

I gave you a plug on the Maximo LinkedIn discussion group.
Yep. Eject.
> I wonder if adding tests to QEMU, even if they're only for the specific architectures they're running (most likely x86-64) would have been just as usable.

> Then again when you're Google and have the resources to build a VM runtime from the ground up it's easier to convince management that "This is the right decision!".

Is it possible you're either underestimating the effort it takes to make QEMU solid or overestimating the effort it takes to write an emulator?

I worked at a company where I hacked up QEMU as a stopgap before we switched to an in-house solution (this wasn't Google, although I've also worked at Google). I made literally hundreds of bug fixes to get QEMU into what was, for us, a barely usable state and then someone else wrote a solution from scratch in maybe a month and a half or two months. I doubt I could have gotten QEMU into the state we needed in a couple months. And to be clear, when I say bug fixes, I don't mean features or things that could possibly arguably be "working as intended", I mean bugs like "instruction X does the wrong thing instead of doing what an actual CPU does".

BTW, I don't mean to knock QEMU. It's great for what it is, but it's often the case that a special purpose piece of software tailored for a specific usecase is less effort than making a very general framework suitable for the same usecase. Even for our usecase, where QEMU was a very bad fit, the existence of QEMU let us get an MVP up in a week; I applied critical fixes to our hacked up QEMU while someone worked on the real solution, which gave us a two month head start over just writing something from scratch. But the effort it would have taken to make QEMU production worthy for us didn't seem worth it.
I'm a Spaniard and can offer a bit of perspective:

Firefox OS was doomed the day they partnered with Telefónica. It's a massive juggernaut which phagocytes every startup they touch, assimilate their talent, then destroy the rest.

For those who don't know Telefónica, it's something akin to T-Mobile or AT&T (maybe even bigger, not sure). They had to change the name and branding of their phone division, a massive feat in both cash and brand recognition a few years ago to clean up their shitty reputation because people hated them so much.

In the tech side that HN may be interested in, they earn money by winning government contracts and developing crappy tech like a regular consultancy. They have a very high tech R+D division which I'm sure does wonderful work but their projects don't seem to surface.

In summary, if you see something "developed by Telefonica" it should turn your alarms on.
Believe me, there are plenty of issues that lead to these kids being groggy- but the faculty also do their best to keep up on who's Mom has a new boyfriend, who's living out of their car, who shows up at school at 6:30 cause that's when the parents leave for work. It's a combination of intrusive, frustrating, and necessary to make sense of what's going on in their lives and how that gets brought into school.

When we talk legalization on these sites it's usually from a middle class view of harmless recreation, but people who are irresponsible about other things aren't likely to be fastidious in their smoking habits either.
I was more claiming that the JVM is going obsolete, not Java. The whole idea behind the JVM is platform abstraction...and it worked perfectly fine insofar as the platform being abstracted had a CPU, at least X memory, a disk drive, and at least a basic OS. Which was fine for a while, but now we're seeing an explosion of different platforms with wildly different capabilities, and the JVM is just not up to the task. That isn't to say that Java isn't, but it does mean that you need specialty compilers, libraries, tools, and infrastructure for specialty targets.

>"staffers may have no ability to judge the competence of a boss"

They often do. The biggest indicator is one you touched on... 'let's you do your job'. A good manager sets clear but fair expectations, and then works to shield you from roadblocks so you can get the job done as promptly as possible. In my experience it's easy to see this in action.
> I did miss out on something that I wish I would have been told more explicitly: university is not just about an education, it is about networking. I got zero networking done. I got the degree and got out. Because of my lack of networking, I believe my career was slower to build.

Strange, when did you go to college? When I first arrived in college in 2012 the commonly held knowledge among students was that "while the education you'll learn here is important, but the chance you have to grow in the 4 years as a person and network with others is priority #1"

Most stories in a good news source are negative, otherwise they aren't really news. "Nothing happened today" can only work once.
My daughter transferred out of a great school in our home community to go to a math and science oriented selective school. She was bored and her grades slipped. In the school she transferred to, she got her ass kicked for two years and learned to be self-sufficient and learned she would not always be the smartest person in the building. Now she's a CMU SCS alum. I don't know if she could have made it through SCS without that preparation.

My son, on the other hand, thrived in our town's public school. He would have resented going to the school my daughter went through. He would have seen it as unnecessary, even punitive. He is at a very large university and is thriving there, too.

Different kids have different kinds of intelligence and maturity levels at different ages. Some never "fit in" and some kids are the kids everyone likes and have the high school social thing totally under control while pulling straight As.

If you undermine public schools by segregating the smart kids, my son would not have had time to play football, lacrosse, and baseball and teach skiing as his after school job. He would have felt getting good grades was a curse.

What about 3D aspects? The word "bump" is used in most descriptions I've seen online, although I don't know if that is something the doctors consider or just something that's enough to suggest a visit to the doctor.
That talk was a great overview of the issue.

Most people who are ignorant about the subject always assume the GIL is stupid and useless, but the GIL allows Python to be extremely fast in single threaded scenarios, and any attempt to remove it introduces at least 20% slow downs.

And C extension support is also a huge factor as you mention. All of Python's scientific modules would be lost if they broke that.

The author assumes these are simple problems that can be solved but aren't because of politics or incompetence, but some of the smartest mind have attempted and failed.

I'd like the author to try and come up to solutions or at least draft ideas for how each of his points can be fixed. A lot of those are easy to state but difficult to solve without breaking more stuff.

I would have loved to have gone to a class with only 25 students. Mine usually had ~32. I think this is the real issue: To effectively help any student, gifted, slow or average, they all need more focused attention and curriculum.
It's not an official government position that millions of illegal immigrants voted, it's Trump's personal opinion. Much like it was Obama's opinion that Trump would never be President.

Do you see a difference between someone having...

(1) an "opinion" about something that happened in the recent, knowable past -- but which flies in the face of all available evidence; and which, when challenged, you're unable to offer any evidence for -- like for example claiming that "The Kansas City Royals won the World Series last year", or "The Russians were the first to land on the moon", when everyone knows they didn't); and

(2) an "opinion" (i.e. a hunch) about what might happen in some future event -- who might win a football game, or an election, say?

Or do you think these are basically equivalent?
Ah, the 'ol humble brag. If you call yourself humble, you're basically saying other people think you're awesome. I don't bother anymore, I just accept compliments, and if people ask me if I think I'm awesome, I say yes, even though I'm aware of my own failures (to be fair, everyone has them, so it doesn't detract from one's awesomeness).
Nothing (except a header) seem to show up under that link?
I think resentment of this kind of social engineering is a major key in recent US political shifts. Let's talk about the basics. If a kid can learn more difficult material and the kid wants to, most reasonable people would agree that the kid should go where that is an option. This basic sense of the world is blocked by social engineers obsessed with n-th order effects who ignore the fundamental issue. Let's do the basics, folks.
Well true, you have a choice in everything. But given the constraint that I want to see the movie on release, my choices are more limited.
> No, this is about something much more sinister: denying the ability to reason about and disseminate observations.

Let's face it: Joe H. Average does not "reason". He just takes it on faith that there are various authorities on different matters, and just subscribes to the points of view of those authorities.

So then, the really sinister thing is this massive push to denigrate some authorities, while setting up "alternatives" in their place.

The vast, vast majority of people are puppets with very limited mental autonomy. If you think otherwise then you have no chance of understanding what's really going on now - because that's how the manipulators are thinking about the world, and they are succeeding.
Chrome gets free advertising on the world's most valuable website where you can't buy advertising for any price: the Google Search home page.

Google also spends tons of money paying companies to stealth-install Chrome when users think they're installing something else from, for example, Adobe.

I'm not saying Chrome is a bad browser but it sure as heck ain't a level playing field....

This article kinda really really reeks of shaming and negativity.

And its got a bit of a forceful tone as well (your inaction makes it your fault! you are telling the big baddy trump that you want to have your stuff closed down, good work!).

I really don't see this being a practical or effective call to action. Encouraging people to speak up about something seen as shameful, seems more useful than shaming people to speak up about something seen as shameful.

>Parallelism is very bad on CPython and PyPy;

GIL was added because the early python libraries were not written to be threadsafe. This was a terrible oversight and frankly should have been corrected at some point. The underlying implementations use pthreads. It's actually worse, because as multi-core devices came out the "lock-thrashing" behavior of the GIL got worse. Rather than fixing the problem we have 'multiprocessing'. I still don't understand why this hasn't been tacked.

> Quite a few legacy projects are written in Python 2, and it can take some work to port them. This is particularly a pain for libraries where I expect to pip install them and have them "Just Work".

Python 3 was DOA. I don't want to be overly critical here, but there was no compelling reason to switch because python 3 didn't have anything fundamentally more interesting than python 2. It didn't really fix any of the serious language issues (like the GIL). It was almost like like the python version of windows vista or ipv6. People want you to switch, but meh.

>The BDFL himself, Guido van Rossum, has infamously declared that he does not like functional programming

And now you've come to the heart of the matter. There have been some amazing tweaks of python (stackless, pypy, twisted greenlets) some of which have been attempted to be merged into the greater python. Most of which were rejected. At some point people give up and walk away. For better or worse Python is Guido's language. Take it or leave it. No switch statement for you buddy.

I think Python is a fantastic language. It has become ubiquitous. For all it's warts, it's lack of change has probably helped it's adoption. Literally EVERYONE writes python code. Network guys, sysadmins, even your manager (or your manager's manager) probably has some python code stashed away somewhere.

However, I don't feel that Python is not doing enough to catch up. Print as a function does nothing for me. There are so many, many, many, many warts (which i won't get into) and yet python seems to be polishing the chrome rather than fundamentally fixing it's core problems.

I want to use and love python but it's become "the devil you know" so to speak. I've lost hope that python will adapt to the future and have put my bets elsewhere.
New Study Finds Performance-Enhancing Drugs for Chess
If that logic was the case, they'd simply have a fraud metric that if you exceeded you'd have your account disabled.

As someone who works at a company where we literally have thieves testing cards on our site on a daily basis, any site that accepts credit cards has a high rate of frauds as thieves test cards. Somehow, we manage not to pass these cards to credit card processors (and no, I don't mean we use Stripe. I mean we have our own in-house anti-fraud process since we deal with the processors through a merchant account at a major bank like FL does). Porn companies have filtering in place as well for the same reason.

It would be a solid metric instead of "morality" if the cause was what you believe it to be.
Meh, I usually agree with your comments, but in this case the resentment is towards people who have a lot of money and haven't earned it (not that they're bad people, they've simply been dealt a good starting hand).
> Why Trump isn't good for poor working class America - Assuming there's a large tax on every good coming into the country, then the cost of groceries will increase dramatically. The cost of cars will increase. The cost of consumer electronics will increase. The cost of many goods that Americans buy will increase and that will most directly affect the poor.

You're confusing median-income consumers with median-income producers. The latter will benefit from increased prices if the product is made at home, by them.

> Why Trump isn't good for business - Many American companies source their parts from other countries. Increased tariffs and taxes impact their bottom line. Trump wants American companies to hire American and is willing to enforce it. American workers have a higher minimum wage. This also affects the bottom line.

On the other hand, there is now less red tape to get domestic projects done. It goes both ways.

> Why Trump isn't good for the rich - If businesses are impacted then investments should decline, but if you've seen The Big Short, then it's possible that we could just have a fraudulent, unpredictable market instead. The huge tax cut should also benefit the rich, so actually, Trump does seem great for the rich.

Apparently the stock market disagrees about the decline in investment. Fraudulent market is possible under any president.
Businesses aren't allowed to discriminate against protected classes, but can discriminate against non-protected classes, and can apparently even impinge on protected classes in some ways when their restrictions aren't arbitrary (are tied to some reasonable business concern) and are applied universally.

These boundaries don't appear to have anything to do with the First Amendment.
Show HN: I automated my home with RPi, React-Native and Nodejs
You could do without the tone in this comment, and could stick to the facts instead of trying to smear me.

I am not even anti-GM. Nowhere in my comment did I say GM was evil. Go back and actually read. I'm trying to point out a fact: mass selection has advantages, GMO in the "gene splicing" way is here is not necessary, and is a _political_ liability. You want to reforest the wild with GMO organisms? It won't be me trying to stop you, but others definitely will. So it's a dumb way to do it.

BTW, what I am talking about is not "thousand year old tech" -- mass selection breeding is under a century old. Luther Burbank died in 1926. And mass selection is now done with marker assistance, a very modern "GM" technology.

_Would_ that medieval monks knew anything about breeding and mass selection. They did not.

Also you might want to do some research before making claims about non-browning apples that you can't back up with facts.

It is you who are violating the community standards of HN with your personal attacks. Do not call someone's comments drivel -- especially if you can't even be bothered to read them.
