Funny that an article that claims the Silicon Valley lost uses a quote by Elon Musk to argue its point. And using some of the Apple rumors as another indicator. I would not declare the race for the autonomous car over, until there exists one street legal autonomous car. And currently, Tesla is at least among the possible candidates for this achievement.
I already avoid new Google products because of this, as I am sure many of you do.

It’s hard for many to accept, so I’m going to state the results again: Those people who used the wearable tech for 18 months lost significantly less weight than those who didn’t.

In the IDEA trial, those who employed the technology were no more physically active than those who didn’t. They also weren’t more fit.

Let's say that again.

They also weren’t more fit.

You're ignoring empirical evidence. If what you say is true, they'd be more fit.

I've got one too, but if you accept this article as true it looks like it turns out at best it's no more than a pretty bangle, at worst makes you think you're doing more than you are.
I don't think building it as a tower of IRC extensions will ever work. You get stuck on "good enough", and the IRC userbase is aggressively anti-centralisation (far more so than the HTTP userbase), anti-change even, and text-oriented.

I've long since given up on any effort to make IRC good. I think energy is more productively spent on ground-up protocols that can include the good parts of IRC but also solve the problems I mentioned. Matrix is where most of my hope is going at the moment.
The HN crowd is absolutely tiny, compared to the entire development ecosystem. And a lot of us aren't even shot-callers.
I've looked at Sway, still on Fedora 24 but thinking of upgrading to 25 and giving Wayland a spin with Sway.

Last I checked Sway hasn't yet reached feature parity with i3 (though need to see if the missing bits are things are currently rely on in i3).
Been there. It's beautiful. Do it now.
I've been using Whatsapp since 2010 and this is the first time I've considered dropping it; all I want is an easy to use chat client. What the hell were they thinking? I'm no expert but I would guess that >50% of their userbase does not want this feature at all. My grandma uses Whatsapp!

I think this could be the beginning of the end for Whatsapp's ubiquity. It's such a shame as Whatsapp has such insane market penetration here (UK/Spain) that it is going to be a huge mess to try to switch to an alternative. I literally haven't received an SMS from a friend in years.
Social CRM is dead. Long live social CRM
There is one flight from Latin America to east Asia. Aeromexico flies from Mexico City to Tokyo and Shanghai alternately with their 787s. (ANA is adding a NRT-MEX flight this winter also.)

But there are many, many connecting flights through DFW, Houston, LAX, and SFO. The direct flight costs upwards of $500 more, often a 60% or higher premium. That's the value of avoiding transit through the USA and the visa and CIS procedures involved. (Actually, the first $100 could be the usual price for a direct flight over a connection, but the same $500+ price increment seems to apply to connecting flights.)

Aeromexico is not known for its excellent seats, service, or food (though they're fine as airlines go). It's all about avoiding US officials.
That's what programmers do too.

It's well worth learning about the Interlocked class if you want to do parallel programming. If you get it wrong then you will see incorrect/corrupt results. It's also worth keeping in mind that for simple tasks it can be quicker to do them single threaded, due to the overheads involved. I demonstrated this in a simple benchmark app [0] that I wrote for a chapter of my book on ASP.NET Core [1].

I must admit that I would _really_ love to have a go at this HP-UX box. I have some ideas about how to fix the X issues you mentioned, and getting remote CDE working to your normal X display would be awesome too.

To be completely fair, building NetSurf may simply not be possible with the toolchain the machine has - I was maybe-1/3-joking about trying it :P - but it would be an awesome challenge to see if it could be done. I suspect it may just be possible.

I emailed you.

You should address that question to d0vs, as he is the one who made that point.

But now that I have a chance to think about it, I can see his point. Most companies don't really take that particular risk into account and just kick the problem down the road. If you tried raising it as an issue, you'd get responses ranging from 'sure, figure out a way to value the risk and we'll add it into the model', to 'who cares really?'.
MTN Closer to Acquiring 49% in Iran's State Owned Internet Service Provider
Got to wonder the damage that will happen to the bird. The larger drones which these tests are for would do some serious damage to the birds legs if the pilot kept the motors turning. If the pilot is intent on breaking away, they would not care about the birds well being.

Some of these drones also put out a fair amount of thrust so even if the drone is upside-down it could quite easily pull down the bird.

Somehow I feel that this training of large birds to catch drones just has not been thought through. Would a net cannon not but more successful especially when using high tensile netting. For mobility, attach net cannon to police multi rotor.
IANAL, but this part seems incredibly open-ended - does anyone know if this is standard? Namely, I'm referring to parts 2, 3, 5, and 6, of which 2 and 3 seem to contradict the idea of "innocent until proven guilty", though I don't know how that applies to non-citizens, and 5 and 6 which seem extremely open to interpretation.

> Additionally, regardless of the basis of removability, Department personnel should prioritize removable aliens who: (I) have been convicted of any criminal offense; (2) have been charged with any criminal offense that has not been resolved; (3) have committed acts which constitute a chargeable criminal offense; ( 4) have engaged in fraud or willful misrepresentation in connection with any official matter before a governmental agency; (5) have abused any program related to receipt of public benefits; (6) are subject to a final order of removal but have not complied with their legal obligation to depart the United States; or (7) in the judgment of an immigration officer, otherwise pose a risk to public safety or national security.

I've seen a huge amount of complete and utter bullshit spread on social media by people who are both internet-savvy and media-savvy - indeed, even by journalists from mainstream online publications - despite not having the supposed aura of authenticity provided by a link. Indeed, I reckon that in some circles an obviously fake link harms the credibility of a claim compared to no source at all or even to one that contradicts the claim.
In reading this, I see that there will no longer be any groups that are allowed to remain in the US based on prosecutor discretion (eg: Dreamers, kids/babies who were raised here will be deported), 10,000 more officers will be hired, and they plan to deputize more local police departments to deport people without Customs & Border Protection involvement.

About the only major screwup here for effective mass deportations is the Trump administration is hiring too few people to round up these people. Back in the 1940s when we were rounding up Japanese to send to concentration camps, it took way more manpower to effectively round up that population to send them to squalid, disease filled camps we sent them to, and there weren't 6 million to be rounded up either.

Hopefully this will get more Americans politically active at the very least, as when the food is rotting in the fields due to a lack of farm hands, that is when we will see something similar to what is happening with Obamacare and Republican voters right now.

Most times there is not a market for a decent ROI and unfortunately there will never be, it would really cost too much terraforming your niche.
It's more complex than that.

People on salary earn a fixed amount per month - they don't get paid extra if they work an hour longer in the evening instead of shopping.

People on most hourly jobs have their schedule set by their manager. They can't pick up an extra hour of work unless their manager has some to offer, and not at the time of their own choosing.

People working on their own businesses have an even less direct correlation between extra hour worked and extra income.

Only the very few people who do remote freelance work on an hourly basis have the flexibility to decide between going shopping for an hour or doing billable work for an hour.

For everyone else, the opportunity cost of leisure time is close to 0, but they might be willing to pay for services for other reasons.
Absolutely. That pesky fold gets me, too (even though our design team tells me the fold doesn't exist ;)).
That's on a different layer, though. If you already have your raw content in a database somewhere, you can push that into Elastic or Postgres without too much effort, but if you need to parse your HTML documents first, good luck with that.

HTTP/2 won't make a serious difference in regards to that, bundling will always be required. Also minifying will always be required, so there's always going to be a build step anyway.
Transpiling also drastically increases the size of code. Having these features natively could significantly reduce bundle size.

I suspect illegal immigration populations will not go down much -- however -- open employers of illegal immigrants (farms, cleaning companies, construction companies) will simply further abuse illegal immigrants and threaten them with deportation for the slightest of slights.
They are cheap labor everywhere, the backbone of this country. When Latinos went on strike (illegal and legal) in Wisconsin to send a message to Walker every restaurant in Madison was shutdown and the farmers were panicking because nobody was there to milk the cows, and that's very bad for the cows.

The ideal result here would probably be to streamline the path to citizenship, make it significantly cheaper, and get these people paying taxes as soon as possible.

The problem with a shotgun is proximity. The effective range of most common shotguns (12 or 20 guage) is a lot closer than most people want to be to anything explosive that is on a trajectory towards you!

Ah I see. You've got some general advice content and people write to you about it. Since you obviously tracked conversion for that, I see these options:

a) Answer those emails sincerely as a hobby

b) Answer with a template only ("Please write to the creator of that plugin you found, they'd love to help you!")

c) Explain somewhere in the article that you can only provide email support for paying customers, then don't answer

d) Put in the article: "If you need help installing a plugin other than $MY_PLUGIN_NAME, I'm happy to provide support for you for $15 per 15 minutes. Buy customer support now"
That sounds a lot more realistic but it's not as cool and romantic as eagles swooping in.

Ask HN: Do you use custom icons (shortcuts) on Android?
As a designer I'm interested of icons (shortcuts) usage on Android. There are some apps that let you change your Home Screen icons. Are you styling your Home Screen with icons? If so, what do you look for in new icons? Is it important to "theme" all icons or only certain icons? Is it also important that the icons are matching with the wallpaper? How about renaming the shortcut, is it important?

This isn't the only example. The one I saw was Google pushing a special section on immigration to my main Youtube front page and, as far as I can tell, to everyone else's too a few weeks ago right after Trump's ban. It had completely different formatting from anything I've seen in the feed before or since, and seemed to contain identical videos for everyone. Youtube does not normally recommend political videos of any kind to me.
Oh my god.

So how about updating those laws? For example, an H1B who is fired has to leave the country by next day. This has always been ridiculous because: impossible. It wasn't enforced, so people could get new jobs or prepare properly for leaving.

I also hear from people who have gone through the green card process as adults that it is actually not possible to go through that process while remaining legal.

The craziness that is US immigration law (and pretty much anything having to do with damn foreigners) was only kept at bay by discretion, which is now removed.

Did I already say "Oh my god"?

> one flight from Latin America to east Asia

Are the countries on the continent of South America not generally considered a part of Latin America? Because there are other options from Santiago, Sao Paolo, Rio, etc. to Tokyo. Some of the options are on Air Canada, with a stop in Toronto which avoids U.S. airports but presumably not U.S. airspace so there may still be some additional scrutiny at departure.

You don't actually have to go all the way to a South American city, Panama City has Air Canada flights to Tokyo. It looks like the other carriers (Emirates, KLM, Turkish Airlines) have stops in a South American city first. The Air Canada flights aren't much more expensive but the European & Asian-based carriers are much more expensive than the flights with stops in the U.S.

It's not like CBP has access to the same tools NSA would use. If your profile isn't public and your name is common, they have no way to know it's really your profile. I'd expect my bank to not freely share my information with CBP (as should anyone whose bank isn't based in the US).

Of course the unsolvable issue is that the agent gets to decide whether you get in or not, instead of following some checklist. (Which means the agents' internal heuristics become the checklist.)
