I suspect non-mobile camera infrastructure (and perhaps ultimately of cameras worn for other reasons) scanned by AI will replace most of them.

Mobile cameras like these, just as with many patrolling security guards, are for visibility more than "enforcement" (using quotation marks since private guards don't actually enforce laws in a society with the government is supposed to have a monopoly on violence).

The number of guards in the US has grown ridiculously out of proportion to the growth (diminution actually) of risk. Much of it is theatrical: employees feel unnecessary fear in parking lots, shareholders worry that important papers my be waking out the front door, they neighboring company has turnstiles to control incoming people -- what, are we less important than they?

As corporate profits start to thin, the cost of supporting all these worthless jobs will become untenable and automation will rise.
"Wellness visits" under Obamacare are supposed to be covered in full, with no co-pay, but exactly what counts as a wellness visit (and not an office visit) is (probably intentionally) confusing.

"What’s the biggest single factor that puts you at risk for ignoring your health? Being a man.

Sociologist Lisa Wade, interviewed in New York Magazine, says that 'some scholars argue that being male is the single strongest predictor of whether a person will take health risks.'

Men like risk it turns out. Most of them also hate putting lotion on their skin (too girly) and being afraid of things (not manly). They are also more likely to have outdoor jobs and do household tasks that involve being outside the house. Think lawn mowing and BBQ-ing. They also pay less attention to their skin and so don’t catch early warning signs.

Women, generally speaking, don’t mind lotions, do pay attention to changes in our skin, wear sunscreen to avoid premature aging and wrinkles, and often also wear make up year round that contains ingredients that protect skin from the sun."

"[...] part of the reason that married men, or men with female partners anyway, live longer. They’re nagged into healthy habits and visit the doctor more often."

Just thought the same thing.
In total, between 22 September 2016 and 18 February 2017 we now estimate based on our logs the bug was triggered 1,242,071 times.

Wow, so just as bad as we thought.

We did not find any passwords, credit cards, health records, social security numbers, or customer encryption keys in the sample set.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE

The sample included thousands of pages and was statistically significant to a confidence level of 99% with a margin of error of 2.5%.

Oh, so it could actually be as a high as 2.5% leaking encryption credentials. And if none of the data was found to leak anything sensitive where the fuck is the dataset? I've been around way too long to take a "study" like this at face value without third party verification.

I also enjoy the straight up lie at the end:

We are continuing to work with third party caches to expunge leaked data and will not let up until every bit has been removed.

That sounds great right? Well, its too bad that a lot of 'third parties' are a box sitting on the corporate network edge that hasn't been touched in 5 years. Deleting all of this data from third party caches is not physically possible. In fact it might actually make things worse because it's destroying evidence of which credentials were leaked.
i see the lack of a web browser and no movie services as a move to emphasize that this is a gaming machine and not a tablet. it focuses the use of the machine as a gaming device and not as a do it all device. i like this commitment. it's similar to what amazon does with the kindles (that ignores the limitations of the e-ink screen though).

although, i have certainly been disappointed with nintendo's embracement of online services even within games. e.g., matchmaking and co-op features.
If I am socially conservative and fiscally liberal, where does that place me politically? What "should" my response be?

I honestly have no idea.
Surely they made it bulky so that it doesn't fall over.
Lots of time is wasted trying to figure out how to get the rest of the company to communicate with the lone genius

Feynmann himself disdained this sort of lone genius puffery. He was critical of this in Murray Gell-Mann. I don't think Feynmann was a loner at all. He had people he liked and could relate to, and other people he didn't like and relate to, just like anyone.

I've been on the receiving end of these kinds of analysis and the result is that they seem to exist purely to showcase how smart the individual is and to provide no other meaningful input to the effort.

Bingo! Always look at the cost/benefit to the group. Everyone who seems like this on the surface tells themselves that they are striking a blow for the truth. But what is the overall effect? Did they primarily bring the group's perception of the truth closer to reality, or did they mostly establish themselves as the Alpha nerd? It's usually both, but what is the mix? Is the undertone one of kindness, or one of cruelty?

there's lots of people who think they're Feynman and aren't and it's hard to tell the difference sometimes

The same goes for Steve Jobs in the Bay Area.
PUT is for the case where the client knows the location of the resource to be created, whereas POST is for the case where all that is known is the location of a logical parent resource.
"stories are community property."

If stories are community property, then the community and not the editors should decide whether the story submission with the title it was submitted with was valuable or not by upvoting it (or not).

"Submitting doesn't entitle you to choose for the whole site what is or isn't interesting about a story."

I don't see why they couldn't. But using the same argument, the editors shouldn't get to choose for the whole site what the title should be either.

I've run across so many, many great stories with super generic, boring titles that will never be even glanced at by most readers. Those stories deserve better, and editing the title to make it reflect what the story is actually about is helpful.

HN editors should restrict their roles to keeping the conversations civil, and let the community take care of the rest.
The policy avoids encouraging/endorsing clickbait. Aside from that, headlines are not purely functional. Preserving the author's creative choices seems valuable to me in cases such as this. If I haven't got time to skim the start, I probably shouldn't be on HN right now.

Frickin' Japanese. There are some social customs that tie into this: when two salarymen meet for the first time, the first thing they do is wordlessly exchange business cards, so that the right honorifics, registers, verb forms, and such can be used depending on who outranks whom.
While i would really like Linked in dead I would rather like to replace it with something more useful.

I think another good alternative would be to introduce money as a way to connect people.
To connect people just pay them to accept you but only allow the flow of money one way. If you know the person you you really wouldn't mind the inconvenience of paying some lunch money and getting it back IRL or via a different service later. Physical connections could be made for free when people are in same location and make phones mate with each other or something.
For recruiting this could work as well.
If i am really that interested to a recruiter he wouldn't mind paying the equivalent the time it takes to look at it seriously for me to look at his offer. And if his offer was good and a real job hey i might pay him back. If it was just a grab for my CV then tough luck you lost your investment.
The website hoster / owner would take his cut from all these transactions.

Additionally it would be nice if you could grant selective information rights to individuals, say you could share your CV with someone while not sharing it with the world. And you could set this up per user. Essentially storing an PKI encrypted copy of a CV / profile for another user that you could revoke.
Cool, thanks for replying. Didn't know you guys were actually running anything on Daint (I'd heard tests were planned). Your earlier comment was the first time I'd heard of the ICON model too. Quite an informative day on HN.
That's counter-intuitive! TIL, thanks!
Azkaban has this.
I never said it really was superior, just that some people (living around 1900) thought so. Also, we're talking about how "intuitive" a user interface is here, not about the safety implications. It took many decades for cars to finally get airbags, collapsible steering columns, etc. It was quite routine for people to be impaled on steering columns until the late 20th century.
I think you underestimate how poor poor people are. Poor people also need pain relief. They also need to get high. Most non-poor people get high on opiates or alcohol. That's expensive. Growing a plant, in relative terms, is not.

You should definitely keep an eye on your blood pressure every once in a while because there no symptoms of high blood pressure until it's way too late (kidney damage for example). Even if you are too lazy to go to the doctor, at least in the US you can find blood pressure monitors frequently installed in the pharmacy area of your nearest Safeway, Walmart, etc. If it's been more than a few months and I run into one of these things I sit down and take my blood pressure just to see how it is. If it's a bit high on first read I will repeat the test two more times. This usually gives my body a chance to relax to make sure that I get an accurate reading.

If your blood pressure spikes a lot when you are stressed that's good to know too. For example I've found that when I drink coffee my blood pressure reacts to stress a lot stronger than when I don't drink coffee.

You have a lot to discover in original Buddhism before making statements like that. I am fascinated and struggling with help of Roerich's Tibetan-English-Russian dictionary, and I must say, there is difference in meanings, whether its sutra in Chinese or Tibetan. Ancient translators had their own problems, and direction of tradition is more like India -> Tibet -> China. So Sanskrit originals prevail, and I am yet to learn the script.
Movies are meant to entertain, and creative titles are part of that.

Iirc, he used STATISTICAL DEs to model data flow.
I believe it's somewhat flexible — as this post is for a new, small team (within Interactive News). So there's not necessarily a big existing codebase to maintain, and they're going to be working on some greenfield reporting tools.

That said, we use a lot of JavaScript, a fair amount of R, a medium amount of Ruby, some Python, and occasionally Go. Stats skills are a plus, as are database skills, as are design chops.
$950 from SFO isn't a bad deal. It can be considerably more expensive around peak season if you don't catch a sale (easily $1.6k to $2k).

The correct way to indicate that is "onsite". "No remote" makes it show up in the various scrapers for remote jobs.
My GTX on Windows also claims to output 10 bits. From some playing around in Photoshop, it seems like the monitor I have does not actually use the extra data. (It asks for it, but either doesn't receive it, or doesn't process it properly.)
The proxy companies behavior for TLS 1.3 is a bug and it's easier to fix; they just need to respond that they only support TLS 1.2 and below.
That's basically true for all software. Unpopular options that no longer receive support recede, regardless of their price-point.

The Illumination Problem – Numberphile
I'm using a mid 2015 MacBook Pro with a 4K display for development, and it works pretty well. Expose hitches a bit sometimes, but that's the only trouble I've had.

YMMV if you're using it to display something other than a terminal or browser though, and I haven't tried using this display with Windows or Linux.

I too thought I was going crazy when I noticed it this morning... Funny, but that shade (or one very much like it) is forever etched into my brain as "porn blue" thanks to a k10k issue back in the day when the internet was still referred to as the information super highway and nobody knew what we were doing. Here's an excerpt from the first "lesson":

You must never use this colour.
You can like it as much as you want.
You can buy a dress in this colour for your girlfriend.
Your mum might have it as the colour of her eyes.
Feel free to paint your house like it.
But never use it on a website. Never.
This colour is the porn colour.
You must never copy the porncolours.

A portable, dockable tablet with a built-in reliable controller? If it had a browser, I'd be surprised if people didn't specifically write some games to target it.
That seems uncharitable. The issue at hand is that Mozilla is dropping support for plug-ins, and hangouts' implementation of media streaming uses a plug-in. Google didn't do anything to break Firefox here except fail to develop an alternative in time. The actual software change being pushed to break the functionality is on Mozilla's end (which I don't disagree with, FWIW).

Lots of other stuff is breaking because of this Firefox change too, and it's not a conspiracy.

And 1.2 million people dying is nothing compared to the number of people on the earth.

IMO a leak this bad should be enough to sink cloudflare. A provider of SSL was randomly spitting out private data onto public websites. OVER A MILLION TIMES. Entire CA's have been shut down for leaking a couple hundred certificates. This has leaked private data over a million times, cloudflare is a joke
The path for "Hijacking 'open'" sounds an awful lot like "building better software faster."

Can we get more people to "hijack 'open'"? Can "'open' hijackers" become the new "rockstar developers?"
The rules already allow using a different title if the original is misleading or clickbait. Adding "or totally uninformative of the nature of the content" to that wouldn't be so bad.

> Imagine if we had to write a new browser plugin for each new site we published

Still happens all the time in mobile world. Not as obvious in Desktop word because the site is the app, you just download it each time anew instead of once. But there are Chrome plugins for many sites - Chrome web store has a lot of them. Most of the sites can work fine without them, nevertheless they exist.
This is for sure a requirement for us governmental customers as they require certain accessibility requirements from used products.

The problem, as I see it, is that the nuance you're talking about isn't visible from the Steam store page. When I see a game that's Early Access, there's not a lot to indicate to me:

a) How far through the QC process the game is

b) Whether the game is going to change dramatically in the next 6 months

c) Whether the game is about to be a cancelled project.

d) Whether there are features/portions of the game that will just _not_ work with <insert OS version/hardware/network configuration/...>

Basically, Early Access is too big a tent to be meaningful, except to take as a caution of "you might be paying for vapor."
