From experience, here's a few things you need to know:

- the job market is horrible in 2017, too many people are applying and the competition is crazy. Especially if you've been unemployed for a little while it'll be a red flag.

- make sure to include annual expenses in your budget when you look at your savings as your only source of income. Taxes, registrations, potential health issues, unexpected bills, etc.

- taking a break is amazing, being unemployed after your break is very stressful and can sometimes be humiliating. No one will take you seriously, unless you've spent your time trying to build a company or things like that.

- make sure your professional network is very strong because you'll need referrals to get back on a W2. It's that bad right now...
Chuck Berry was so much a part of my childhood. As a kid in Detroit I was a fan of WXYZ disk jockey Lee 'the horn" Allen. He was good friends with Berry and often told the story that Chuck wrote several of his hits in the back seat of his Caddy as they went from bar to bar.

As I went through school his music was never far behind. Even in his eighties he could still rock the joint. Hoping I could see him do it in his nineties but I guess not.
Can you show me where the touchbar takeover is? That seems really interesting, especially if they took over the watchOS chip in the touchbar.
Do you have a website or anything that discusses your general idea? I'm a medical student, and my background is in math/cs and my research is in comp bio. Just curious about what you're thinking of.
Thanks so much everyone!
Agreed, it makes no business sense to store all your core business data in a cloud that you have so little control over and which pretty much any Google or Firebase employee can browse at will. You're putting yourself completely at the mercy of the service provider (fully exposed) without any leverage when it comes to bargaining.

It's like renting office space from a landlord who owns all the office buildings in town - You're completely at their mercy because you have no alternatives. Eventually, they will squeeze all the profits out of you because they can.

Anyone who understands human nature can see what's going to happen in 10 years or so.

Windows has become essentially malware for most of it's users. The sad part is that most of them don't actually care or cannot change easily because of existing software.

But I do hope Microsoft improves WSFL to the point that I can say: just write for linux instead, you get windows support for free [and this is already partly true].

Schools have since de facto resegregated due to changes in school districts and disparities in neighborhood demographics. In the aggregate, schools today are actually just as segregated as they were just before the mandatory desegregation, with a few notable exceptions.
But if both of these were to have production scaled up for industrial use, I feel that a Glass like product would be able to hit a far lower price point.

> You can't wear Microsoft Hololens outside of your office, far from your desktop.

Yes you can assuming wifi is in range. The Hololens is great. There is no cable. The battery life is reasonable. The field of view is awful but usable. We have been using one at the office and I'm very impressed with how accurately and quickly it maps out a space.

I don't think they are so different. In fact anything glass can do hololens will do better.

My impression was that the Hololens kits ran W10, albeit an embedded version, natively.

The fact that you need to spell out the difference between full AR and glass also seems to show how poorly Microsoft has communicated the potential of AR.
Consider this one case study in the similarities of XNU, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD:

It's weird that we have chemical waste that lasts forever and nobody's trying to leave messages for future civilizations about it.

Something about having a definite timeline makes people worry more. Saying that X will be dangerous for ten thousand years motivates people more than saying Y will be dangerous until the end of time.
They're universities. They don't have a business model. They're not businesses. Their job is to teach and to research, not to make a profit.

Frankly i see little use for the likes of AR and VR in civilian life. Hell even the smartphone of today is something of a bleak shadow of the business tool it once was, thanks to every OEM trying to cater to consumers that barely message and access social media.

I'm not promoting Rust, nor have I actually written anything in it. I do think though it's a step in the right direction.

> But you don't get that effect by ramming it down other people's throats, you get that effect by showing it in practice.

I disagree. I've seen many C programmers who think that C is the be all end all of programming languages. Those people will not be convinced by showing them another technology that is better in practice. The fact that it's actually unbelievably hard to write correct software in C is somehow a point of pride for many people, though I speculate that few of them can actually follow through.

Of course there will always be logic bugs in software, even with formal systems and whatnot (i.e. bugs in the specifications). But memory bugs and the resulting security exploits could in many cases be a thing of the past already.

Many industries have similar regulations, i.e. seatbelts in cars. If somebody dies because of a faulty or non-existing seatbelt, there will be consequences. If somebody dies because they were talking on the phone and the car didn't prevent it, well, you can't control everything.

Is this a buffer overflow? Why was this written in C? No good answer - pay up.
> You can't wear Microsoft Hololens outside of your office, far from your desktop.

This is not true. Hololens is untethered and there's nothing preventing you from using it anywhere. Well, nothing except the fact that it's bulkier and heavier than Glass and obscures your face too much for use in social situations.

The real reason why AR isn't better than Glass for this kind of thing is that AR tracking and recognition of objects is not good enough for real applications yet. On Glass as reported in the article you have to scan a code to identify an object you're holding. In people's imaginations, an AR device would magically recognize the object and overlay useful informational displays on it as you turn it in your hands. In reality Hololens is not even close to being able to do this, so you would be reduced to scanning codes just like on Glass.
Glass didn't die because of privacy -- it died because the teams walked out after being threatened with their jobs.
Emails can't be rewritten by anyone except your mail provider, which is unlikely to ever happen.

I love Matt Levine, but he's wrong that "Bulk Regulations" don't exist. They are called licenses, and you have to have them do operate many types of businesses. See hair salon licenses, landscaping licenses, etc. There is zero reason for licenses in many low-skill sectors, but they exist and are regularly codified into state or federal laws as a requirement of doing business. These licenses are enforced by rent-seeking gatekeepers, who effectively drive out competition and raise prices on consumers. This is very much "bulk regulation", and is terrible for everyone.

>I understand the leadership quote

Not quite, there is a subtle but meaningful distinction. You are inferring the author to mean "all suggestions are worth hearing" or that good leaders should not be able to "dismiss" suggestions. Neither of these is stated or has context to be implied.

The quote should simply be taken at face value to mean generally speaking leaders should "listen to other people's suggestions", and take a variety of perspectives into account.
If a space elevator could actually be built for single-digit billions today, it would be under construction already. That's cheap enough that someone like Elon Musk could finance it solo. That it remains purely conceptual should be a good indicator that it's a lot more difficult than $6.2 billion.
Agreed. I got to go to a hands on demo of Hololens last year focusing on potential enterprise applications, and was extremely impressed. What they have right now is very much an alpha (maybe beta) product, but the list of potential applications is enormous.
>If so, that makes sociology completely useless for policy.

Only in as much as one believes that descriptive results are "completely useless" for policy.

For me they are just as important, if not more, than predictive results. Predictive models only tells us what will happen -- not what is going on, if it is any good, ways of thinking about it, and whether we should ask for more or less of it.
Not sure what it changes, since this data is already available to them. What they change is making it also available to parents.

The second point is weird, because Google provides only the basic apps. It's the third parties that would be interested in engagement metrics. And again - they already have access to them.
> Sometimes I do wonder why American Universities charge exorbitant tuition fee?

Because American universities are viewed as institutions under the control of a "hippie class", and academics are viewed as "prissy" and "elite". It's a class hatred of the educated, combined with a desire for power over the working class in the form of loan repayments.

>having seen a lot of non-savvy users use Internet, I am firmly with WWW

As an anecdotal counterpoint, at our family Christmas, I mentioned a few different urls, spelling out "www" each time; one of my nieces said "why do you keep saying 'www'", and one of the other kids said "that's how old people find websites." After some discussion, it turned out that nearly everyone over 30 habitually wrote urls with "www" at the front, and everyone under 18 always omitted it.
That's not ironic; it's just evil.
How many wealthy people do you know? How do you know how much self-reflection they do?
Yes, that is the justification that the private lenders bought the law with. But it doesn't refute my point.

From a policy standpoint, if the realities make it impractical for lenders to lend then papering over those incentives is effectively doubling down on a bad idea. Compromising in order to encourage more of something generally results in system feedback consuming the desired change, with the downsides of the compromise remaining.

Fewer college loans would mean that society would have to adapt elsewhere - the K-12 schools couldn't punt any substantive learning until "college", employers couldn't insist on pedigree degrees for every job, the value in funding state universities would be respected, etc.

As we're fast finding out, our societal addiction to credit does not help people actually afford things, but creates a de-facto-mandatory system of wealth extraction from the powerless.
I think msft well understands the value of letting your product get pirated (within reason: you still need a "crack").

Of course this lets the pathological people cheat and get your system for free, but it also lets students learn and use your product so when they graduate to money makers (and decision makers) they will naturally gravitate towards msft products.
That site is great but it leaves out something else that is very important. Color blind people often have trouble with seeing colors that are "near" to each other in color-space.

I'm not a PhD in Colorology but choosing higher contrast colors completely eliminates that problem I think. It's an easy fix that opens up many new markets to your software.
I'm always torn whether I'm expected to enjoy or hate this show. I personally find it very entertaining, as it exposes me to new, interesting products and business ideas, and I also feel like I'm learning a bit about business pricing and negotiation.

Show HN: Covering technological innovation in complex, regulated  industries
I've just had a similar experience with an old 32-bit CPU Acer Aspire One. I tried what modern 32-bit BSDs I had, including GhostBSD and OpenBSD. Only FreeBSD 10.3 drove the WiFi network adapter. Interestingly, FreeBSD 11 did not. So there's a regression of some sort in there, somewhere.
I'm putting together a monthly newsletter featuring stories of the trials and triumphs of technological innovation in complex, regulated industries.
Why? Because hard problems are not easily solved, but they’re worth doing. The first issue goes out March 31.

Some of the industries covered will be government, healthcare, finance, and defense. Each issue will contain a mix of original and curated articles that focus on quality and substantive insight.
> In the end, he offers no prescription for turbo-capitalism, merely predicts that "the wave of the future could be populism," the essence of which is always "a revolt of the less educated against elite rule, elite opinions, elite values and the elite's consensus on how government and the economy should be run."

You're assuming economists have influence. The truth is, the best economic policy is almost always politically unpopular, and thus never gets realised, and the most predictive economists often have reason to not share their opinions. Economics as a science is in fine shape, it's politics which is the problem.

>Is it possible to buy into only parts of an ideology

Yes. One example is Christianity.

>is it actually just pragmatic and a display of humility in accepting that some parts of an ideology may work in some situations?

Yes. In fact good science requires that practioners be willing to consider that new ideas that may possibly be contradictory and superior to their own. Not sure why for some of us this seems the obvious and only logical way to proceed while many will spend a lifetime not realizing it.

Akamai can serve your apex domain from their edge servers. They do it by giving different answers for the A record to different users, based on where each user is coming from. All that's required is that you use them as your NS.
You lived with your parents. You didn't pay for rent or food or bills.

Good for you, really, but it's hard for me to take that as genuine advice.
I greatly appreciate your comment. I often feel alone with my opinions on hackernews. You are completely right, what you are describing is a case of emotional manipulation (using anger as a tool to increase compliance) and bad parenting can even go all the way to emotional terrorism (causing intense feelings of guilt if one does not do what the parents want). Whether it's physical or psychological harm - the usage of such methods displays lack of emotional maturity and patience in parents.
Such tools have existed for long time. NSA tools catalog had a tool[1] that took control of HDD firmware and provided Application persistence across re-formatting. Date mentioned on the brochure[1] is June 2008.
Of course most of your PC peripherals have their own processor, if sufficient documentation is available, PC peripherals can be easily weaponised. They can even have a wireless implant that allows HDD to communicate with outside world, and trigger exploit (send data, or trigger code execution), remotely.

It's kind of clear that their quoted expert Tsai didn't interview anyone while they were using Google Glass.

"With Google Glass, it may look like you're listening to the person in front of you, but you could actually be watching a movie or looking up sports stats."

Unfortunately the problem is the opposite and more offensive. It's very obvious if you're having a conversation with someone while they're using Glass while looking at you from their eye movements, and it makes the user look really weird ignoring any fashion issues. I found the experience quite a bit more offensive than having someone reading emails on their laptop while you talked to them. Unlike the laptop case, with glass you get a very clear direct view of their eyes as they scan whatever glass is showing them, while there is the obvious false pretense of giving you their full attention.

I think one of the big problems with glass was that they picked the wrong sort of people to be early public users that then set the tone for the product. A process that ensured only super-enthusiastic users would bother applying is also the sort that would select for the least willing to notice how other people might find certain uses of it rude and annoying.
