The spectrum of human experience (and the meaning people find in it) can't be reduced to a concept like "gaining points". What about art, conversation, watching TV, taking care of family members, romance, sex, raising children, playing sports, traveling, dancing, or cooking? What about reading, writing, listening to music, making music, knitting, or playing with our pets? People have been finding meaning outside of work for thousands of years.

Just tout clarify. The media blackout isn't specific to macronleaks or to this election. It is due to the facts the macronleaks were released right before the "période de reserve":
* it is illegal to broadcast or print any political document on the day of the election and the day before (French electoral code - L49),
* it is illegal for any candidate to publish any new argument if opponents would not have enough time to reply before the end of the campaign (French electoral code L48-2).

I dont think that Europeans are self centered, I think the people complaining about being required to check in their laptops to prevent likely terrorist attacks are being self centered in doing so.

The government cant clone or access your information just because you put it in storage rather than carry on.

TL;DR, take some sodium metal onto a plane, drop it in water. As one of the first comments said, it's not plausible:

> Not plausible. I've seen a half-pound of reagent-quality sodium dropped in a river. The sodium burned violently; the chunk shattered; the expanding gas launched broken bits out of the river, which landed back in the water and kept on burning. Nothing, however, with enough force to make me believe it would cause a full-on explosion.

> Further, sodium oxidizes in air; sodium metal fashioned into any innocuous item and exposed to air (as any innocuous metal item I can think of would be) would have reacted away a great deal of its mass in the air between packing and getting on a plane. There's a reason sodium is normally stored in kerosene or some other liquid it won't react with. Dropping oxidized sodium into water is a far less interesting reaction.
Don't forget about the extra revenue for the airlines from selling more movies on seatback displays.

Its not just ability to make bombs out of laptops, but also discovered plans to do so. If in our silly senario it came out that we did a raid on a terrorist hideout and found plans to hide bombs inside shoes to bomb planes, and that shoes are more suitable than other items to making these bombs and that terrorists had been perfecting shoe bombs - then yes it might be prudent to ask people to remove shoes during flights. You are right - its a balancing act between risk and precaution, in this case I dont think its unreasonable to ask people to check in laptops when we find terrorist plans to blow up planes with laptop bombs

You are fooling yourself here. They probably have a whole data cake already, they want the mobile number as a cherry topping on this cake.

You know about the anonymized and aggregated data that one can buy ? Well it can be easily anonymized and deaggregated.

The good part is that you don't even have to do it yourself and go directly to data brokers that have done the hard work for you.
Why? Do you suspect that subjects were deliberately making their choices less random because they anticipated the poor performance of another person in assessing randomness? It seems like a good assumption that they knew they were trying to fool a sophisticated randomness test that they couldn't second-guess.
Kids can be evil and I got teased a bit too when I was at school. I've never experienced a negative reaction to my hearing aids as an adult though. Missing what someone has said has caused problems when they've maybe thought I was being rude and ignoring them or they said something and I answered with completely the wrong thing. So, I think as an adult not being able to always hear has caused reactions in people but not the visible hearing aids themselves.
A bomb that size would be very unlikely to take down a plane (remember, blowing a hole in the fuselage doesn't cause people to fly out, despite what the movies show), so it seems the most likely use for it would be to try and blow open the door to the cockpit so they can take over the plane.

Regardless, though, it's incredibly stupid for the US to even consider this ban. The chances of success are extremely small compared to the headaches this will cause.
p.p.s. maybe someone had to approve it. Thanks to whoever did that ^_^

I work on digital signage, our product isn't using facial expression recognition yet, but it has been asked and will eventually be a part of the system.

What's the difference between this and an anonymised dataset? No PII is tracked, it's just looking at you and calculating what emotion you're likely feeling to show more targeted advertising.

I mean, I'm personally against it but we've got to prove a higher and higher ROI to justify the cost of digital signage, this leads to just that.
I do wonder how many laptop bombs have endangered planes so far - vs. actual Li-ion battery fires.

Force laptops in the holds and watch planes crash when the inevitable battery fire happens. This policy will likely kill more people than the terrorist menace it is meant to protect against.

And that doesn't even consider the loss of business, because people simply won't fly without a laptop (or put it in the hold - considering how checked baggage is routinely treated). Not everyone is traveling for leisure and for business people a laptop is essential.
I'm not sure I understand your point. By visting the website one is procuring the estimate through an automated model in return for the ads and tracking you agree to by visting. Legal language is straight forward in this case.
This is not simply a case of the sunk cost fallacy.

Stopping the program now would result in a trillion dollars having mostly gone to waste. Most of that money went to the initial development of the program, and a comparatively small amount is now spent on each new airframe. Scrapping it right as the upfront costs begin to pay off as airframes are delivered makes no fiscal sense whatsoever.

Operational F-35Bs have been delivered to the military since 2015. F-35As since 2016. Drones capable of fulfilling the roles the F-35 will do not yet exist. You'd be sinking a program where the overwhelming majority of upfront R&D has been paid off in exchange for starting a new program from scratch that may not deliver a drone for another ten, maybe fifteen years.

Yes, today we could design and build a new set of aircraft with more modern capabilities. But with your logic, after fifteen years of R&D — just as units begin rolling off the production line — we'd be looking to scrap the program to start anew with whatever advancements those fifteen years in technological advancement might have unlocked.

You're comparing a plane that's been in development for twenty years with a hypothetical drone with today's tech that wouldn't be ready for another fifteen to twenty years.
What airline makes you pay for the seatback IFE system? Any low-cost carrier that would do something like that forgoes the system entirely in my experience.

There is also performance overhead.
I'm not sure I understand your example; Does MailCampaign implement IClickable? Surely all the places you're seeing IClickable are places where the important activity somehow involves generalized clicking?

I would say that the subset of "good in and of itself" from interfaces -- ignoring those other benefits like multiple-implementations and extendable/reusable/mockable code -- usually relate to separating the mental task of defining what you wanted to exist versus what you were able to achieve so far.

In some ways an interface is similar to test-driven development, since it allows developers to create a scaffold of requirements and goals (interface methods and comments) before getting bogged down in the implementation details, and iteratively cycle between those two viewpoints.

In contrast, classes without an interface are at a higher risk for following a sort of least-effort evolution, such that someday a developer answers: "Why does it work that way? I dunno, that's just how we got it working."

> The cons I see are there are now two places where documentation needs to be kept in sync.

Ideally the in-file documentation is different though: The interface says "this method will take an X and create a new Y based on it", whereas the implementation communicates "I fulfill the interface's requirements by <stuff that makes me interesting and unique>."

Well, they are trying to get into CPU market since late 2000s to sell their own integrated chips.
Because it's only obsolete when compared to a hypothetical fleet of drones that don't exist yet and might take another fifteen to twenty years to develop to the same level of effectiveness.

You're comparing airframes that are shipping today to a hypothetical drone that doesn't even exist. It's not even a remotely fair comparison.

Ask HN: Are there 'standard' projects to complete as a rite of passage?
OK, I've started my journey into programming - I'm 45, dabbled for years, but a career change (partially enforced, mostly planned) is what I'm looking at, and I'm planning to take a couple of years of working near full time on studying Python, hopefully moving into learning data analysis/visualisation and machine learning.

Anyhoo... when I was young, I did an engineering apprenticeship, where I learnt both mechanical and electrical/electronic engineering (2 years) before specialising (another 2 years). Part of this was doing 'standards', which in the case of mechanical engineering started with simple cutting and filing accurately, and moved onto things such as making parallels, spirit level, etc. The same has been true of music - I play (and teach) guitar, and can see the idea of the progression from Grade 1 to Grade 8, gaining useful skills on the way.

Is there anything similar in terms of programming challenges? I've found a few pages here and there which have some simple ones (which I've done and enjoyed), but nothing that would seem to follow a progression; there seem to be lots of 'get started with...' courses (I've done a few), but I'd appreciate any suggestions you have.

7 Steps for Efficient Consultative Selling
> I think perhaps you've lost sight of the original point you were making?
> * I asked why I would want this, with the implication that this a product without value.
> * You then gave Facebook Messenger and Electron apps as examples that there is a demand for this type of thing, basically saying that they've proven the market for this feature.
> * I pointed out that the reasons people use those are not because they want to surf and message people at the same time.

That's not what happened. I addressed your "Why would I want a messenger application embedded in my web browser?" question with examples of messenger applications that were embedded in a browser while acknowledging that I emphasise with your dislike for the modern day "everything in the browser" mentality. You then raised additional points based off my examples, which I addressed specifically. I never once attempted to answer why you, specifically, would want this.

For what it's worth, I could also have raised points about Chrome / Firefox "apps" that install locally into the web browser (many of which have hundreds of thousands of unique installs) and the desktop notifications feature that websites can implement to push notifications to the user. So what Opera is building isn't that far away from what many people are already using in Chrome - albeit Opera are building a better UI/UX around it.

> > many people do still use the web interface. Usually just because it's quicker and easier.

> It's not quicker and easier for messaging-while-surfing because it doesn't actually let you do that. So pointing to it as proving the market for Opera's product that lets you message-while-surfing is a tad silly, don't you think?

If you re-read the point I actually made (rather than selectively quoting it), what I actually said was it's quicker and easier to open up a Facebook tab in a browser than it is to install libpurple or whatever to install Messenger integration on a PC desktop. I could also add to that and said it's also quicker and easier to type something on a PC keyboard than it is to tap your message on smartphone touchscreen (which was also hinted at in my original comment albeit I left the reader to reach that conclusion themselves).

> I don't hate the feature – why would I?

For someone that doesn't "hate" this feature you put an awful lot of effort into discrediting it :P I acknowledge this feature might not prove popular but am at least open minded enough to let the market decide. Because, and like I said before, it's common for people to dismiss new tech that later gains popularity.

It is not harmful - until the battery in one of those laptops fails and sets the plane on fire. With nobody to catch and extinguish it in the hold (the common halon suppression systems are ineffective against battery fires).

It will probably kill more people than those terrorist laptop bombs it is supposed to protect from.

It is just as likely that ISIS are putting out a huge campaign of misinformation in the hope that given enough bad intel the good intel doesn't get acted upon.

At the time of the location gate I had parsed my personal buffer and I found out that pretty much all Manhattan was included. I hadn't a roaming plan when visiting New-York so I only got randomly access to internet at free hotspots.

So I guess a good rule of thumb would be to turn off while on the road with no wifi, but keep on in cities (where A-GPS is the most efficient) where you gonna stay for awhile with sporadic hotspot access.

Also classical GPS (while slow to kick-in) is often really good enough in countryside where you don't suffer from building shapes interfering with the signal.

Uh, didn't we have the mandatory shoe removal for a while already after the shoe bomber? Shoe removal is still commonly demanded if the metal detector gets triggered and many places have special shoe scanning devices too.

And we still have the liquid ban, thanks to one plot that wasn't even realistic to start with.

So sadly "safety" and security theater where you get to show to your electorate that you are "doing something about it" will always win over inconvenience and common sense.

Advertising? No. Sales? Definitely no.

Augmenting that single-player video game so that it adjusts content depending on emotions and gaze of the player? Ok. Better if the player is explicitly told the game will track their reactions though.

EDIT:

Also, another angle. Even for advertisers / "sales optimization", I'd forgive you if that was a local, on-site system. But if it's meant as a SaaS, with deployments connected to vendor's butt, then I am gonna actively try to screw with it if I learn there's one installed anywhere I frequent. Hopefully new EU laws will curb that, though.
A targeted ad nonetheless. Irony indeed.

The totality of that statement is absurd. I've seen plenty of non-religious people reproduce.

The meaning of life or its purpose is to do things that one like to do...There is absolutely nothing more to it...

I don't agree that a laptop on a flight is "essential" for business people. While I always notice very few people using laptops on business class flights, after all the point of flying business class is so that you can get some rest to arrive fresh to work, one area where you do see laptop use is in business class lounges. Unfortunately this ban will affect that as you cant check-in hold luggage after departing the lounge.

That said I think people are blowing this way out of proportion, the point of your business trip should not be to do work on your laptop during the flight.. Surely you are making the trip to do something important and relevant on the other side. If your company wants you in a meeting on Monday morning on the other side of the Atlantic then I am sorry but not being able to use your laptop on a flight has nothing to do with the business justification for your trip. God forbid you actually get a break from working 24/7 on your flight. Why are people complaining about this..
