Actually this is a huge game changer from a neurology perspective:

1) for folks who show up in the hospital, with a stroke, often the cause is not clear. So they go home on aspirin but the latest studies seem to indicate that fully 30% of these folks with "cryptogenic stroke" end up being diagnosed with PAF after 3 months on a heart monitor.

2) this heart monitor is either a cumbersome external device they have to wear for 3 months, or the Medtronic LINQ implantable loop recorder, which is nice and under the skin, but costs a lot of money for a cardiologist to implant and monitor.

3) from a public health perspective, if the Apple Watch can automatically detect paroxysmal A-fib BEFORE a stroke (i.e. permanent paralysis, inability to speak, etc)...think of the massive societal benefits this could be...
Nexus 5X has exactly the same back camera, it takes pretty good pictures, software optimisation may have a lot to do with photo qualities as if you run LineageOS / CyanogenMod, you won't be getting as good photos for sure.

The problem with the Nexus 5X/6P is the poor build quality. While Pixel takes even better photos but the price? Execuse me, I am not going to pay AUD 1,296 for Pixel X 32GB (I got an iPhone 7 Plus 256GB for AUD 1,250 to replace the dead Nexus 5X for good).
Maybe. People still need an income. That can keep uber drivers around for a bit. Also self driving cars may take 10-15 years to actuate reliably.
I once read the Freelancer Wikipedia article, and started poking around. When Roberts announced Star Citizen a few years later, I recognized that it was what he had wanted to do about 12 years prior, before he wanted to do movies instead. I enjoyed Freelancer, and I joined in. All I've ever given him was $60: the price I would expect to pay for a very nice game.
I think this one hurts more:

A new entry on the docket for the case notes that Waymo’s motion for a preliminary injunction has been partially granted and partially denied, but it’s not clear yet which of Waymo’s requests the judge will honor.
Lets just call a spade a spade...this is emergent Facism.

Lots of definitions, but lets go with Britt's[0] 14 point test where I would come up with at least plasuible evidence for 13 of 14 just off the top of my head.

1 - MAGA

2 - Yeah...and for the rule of law/courts

3 - "but her emails" / Mexican rapists / Obama / etc.

4 - for years...since Reagan. This isn't new but it keeps getting worse

5 - "Grab her by the pussy"

6 - working on it, undermining trust in the media and centralizing oneself as the only source of real news is close

7 - yup

8 - Mike Pence, Jeff Sessions, more and more...

9 - Oh yeah, agressively look at the EPA efforts under trump.

10 - Yup (Lets talk about Mitch Daniels amongst others)

11 - Yup...[1]

12 - "Lock her up"

13 - I mean...absolutely.[2][3]

14 - borderline...no proof, one could play with definitions here but an ongoing effort.

> I plan on moving to the West Coast and getting away from all the angry people here where I currently reside.

It doesn't mention the country. Is he American? Because I can assure you, the West Coast isn't going to be any less anxious or angry than the rest of the country. Now if he's talking about Perth, I can see that. But that's doubtful since you can get a really nice house in Perth for the amount of equity he has in his current place.

Seriously, if you have a terminal non-treatable illness and aren't going to live long anyway, sell you house, everything you own and go backpacking for two years, save enough for hospice care and come home to stay with your loved ones.
I've found Herb Sutter's talk on std::atomic also useful for understanding this.

The 2nd part of his talk goes into some of the differences between x86 and other architectures (about 31 min in):

actually, the public health risk of stroke in paroxysmal AF is pretty high. Even if the expensive drugs weren't available, we'd still use coumadin which is dirt cheap. The elimination of stroke risk is worth the risk of bleeding complications.
Some great points. And yet, there's a coffin jpeg with instacart's name on it. Just give it a minute.

I don't think a normal jury will understand the details but being that it's in the bay area maybe they will!
The Xbox 360 used the PowerPC cpu architecture, and the Xbone is x86, so there has to be emulation or recompilation involved.

Even before that - putting in on an Apple Watch potentially enables screening from a public health perspective. I'd rather prevent the stroke rather than regretfully putting the patient on coumadin after they've been paralyzed...
No, the 6p doesn't have OIS or dual camera or the DOF effect.

Sometimes I wish that online store like Amazon gave people the option to pay more than the asking price for some thing, where all surplus money would go to the creator of that thing.

This could even extend to zero-cost items like free software. You could "buy" a software package for zero dollars, with a five dollar tip going to the author.

Amazon uses a lot of free and open source software, so this sort of thing could be in their interests even if they don't make money off of it directly.

So the tl;dr of this article is that lower prices are good for consumers, but manufacturers cannot sustain selling below cost (what a surprise).

I wonder what is driving demand lower.
Has supply simply finally caught up to pent-up demand from the crisis?
Is some other expenditure (housing, healthcare) sucking up discretionary spending that would otherwise go towards new cars?
Is this a leading indicator of a drop in consumer confidence/spending that more traditional indicators haven't picked up on yet?
Are people driving fewer miles (I don't know the exact numbers off-hand, but I believe the data doesn't support this)?
Are longer-lasting cars hurting new car sales?
ICBM interceptors are (among other things) for neutralizing an enemy's retaliatory deterrence thus enabling the protected party to carry out nuclear first strikes. They are not purely defensive.

For every Silicon Valley hit, there's a fluff piece (or five). And for every genuinely innovative or helpful product, there's a gimmick product or distracting app.

Useful piece though even if just for it highlighting these valuable startups.
I have been really happy with Typeform-->Zapier-->Invoice Ninja. TF feeds a bunch of other apps too. The Invoice Ninja guys are super responsive with customer service (<12 hours in many cases) and immediately helped with some minor tweaks I needed to get off the ground. The app is well laid out. They have a self-hosting version but the SaaS is so affordable and snappy, I see no need unless some privacy issues. Not affiliated but a happy customer. Please use my referral code if you find it meets your needs (https://app.invoiceninja.com/invoice_now?rc=DNCBCKGS).

> In particular I suspect we may subconsciously learn that sweet foods do not provide energy.

I've wondered about that myself. After dieting for a while and getting pretty good at it, I've noticed that my body absolutely seems to be able to detect the difference between actual carbs/sweets and the artificial ones. At least, I will start craving an energy bar with actual sugar in it as opposed to a protein bar that tastes sweet but is just full of artificial sweeteners.

I gave my guess as to who was downvoting and/or angrily replying to your post, as a counterpoint to bsder's guess as to who said people are.

I also meant to type "armchair environmentalists" but too much marginal revolution and too little coffee apparently made me braino.

Rural romanian sensibilities versus US urban dwelling archair environmentalist would totally explain the attacks on you to me - and now seems even more plausible than "labour versus capital" as the underlying cause.
I'm seeing more and more people wearing Apple watches and more similar PR stories like this.

Thank you so much for your time. I was really curious.
So while that happens Lyft could eat their lunch (and Waymo could help them).
On the secondary market shares have only dropped 15-20% total since all these Uber scandals started. That still values Uber at $50-55 billion.
The articles keep referring to Waymo at "Waymo LLC". Almost every venture I've seen has been a corporation, not LLC... anything interesting as to why it's a LLC?

Offline data is easy enough, something like sqlite with the right synchronization will do the job. Writes are harder, you need to capture user actions at a fairly coarse level and be able to replay them on the server when a connection is available. These actions need to be treated as facts that have happened and not fail because of some sort of validation that can only be done on the master version.

General guidance for enterprise architecture will be of benefit, it's very similar to having multiple systems synchronized via an ESB.
Apple always comes up with great soundtracks to their ads/infomercials. Sometimes made by themselves/exclusively for them.

You're right. That's why I said upfront - whitelist values in the userquery object.
Limited Liability Corporation just has to do with the number and composition of shareholders. Most likely, Waymo has one shareholder: Alphabet, Inc.

This is common among subsidiaries of large companies. If you look at the contracts you sign with your mobile phone provider or rental car agency, you'll probably see that you're contracting with a local subsidiary LLC.
Medical devices: The risks are scary, but somebody has to do it!
Agreed. I've been taking photos with iPhone for as long as I can remember, and now have a 7+, and consider myself 'reasonably good' at using it to take photos, but watching these little snippets, I actually learned a few new things that I didn't know.

It's easy to become complacent about constant iOS upgrades. There are often lots of nifty little features that are probably too tedious to be explained in a lengthy update spec - But broken down into actual 'use cases' like this in incredibly useful and powerful.
Probably because it's a subsidiary of Google, an LLC is a simpler structure, and probably allows for no taxation and straightforward financial pass through , but I'm not a lawyer and I don't know any more specifics.
More like 2-5.

Elon Musk publicly said Tesla is 2 years away from full autonomy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIwLWfaAg-8).

Chris Urmson (who was CTO of self-driving cars at google in 2009-2016) said it's 5 years (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtgBySRrN0Q).

Personally I think we're 1-2 years aways from initial commercial rollout and it'll grow very quickly from there.

I'm not sure if it's helpful to think about things that way because it can be applied to just about everything. Does body armor make war more likely because we can kill more of theirs than they can kill ours? Does that mean personal body armor can not by considered purely defensive?
This is a very nice description of Marx's theory of alienation. It is exactly the same idea.

I also agree completely, and have noticed that in the tech industry the stereotypical path is to find it absurd in your early twenties and accept it as obvious fact by the time you are in your mid-30's.

Well put.
I don't remember the Apple v Samsung case being up in the air; I recall widespread shock on HN at the verdict, when it looked like it would be anything but. If you look back at comments from the time, most HN commenters felt vindicated when the award was reduced on appeal.
I find that in many cases the goalpost of what is intelligence moves further away each time we get somewhere close to what was previously considered intelligence. If you asked someone you could train a computer to fly on it's own and learn from its mistakes, say, ten years ago, they would probably be more inclined to say it's intelligent than we are.

Specifically the two ends of the market; direct-to-consumer insurance (GEICO) and insuring things no-one else can, particularly reinsurance and muni debt (Berkshire Hathaway Assurance, Gen Re).

If you're good at writing insurance it's essentially a great way of getting interest-free loans which they then spin into a huge pile of low-risk, cash-generating businesses (e.g. Duracell, Fruit of the Loom, See's Candies, to pick three Berkshire brands...).

"Teamwork" meaning that the result of your work is appreciated and useful to others. Not necessarily that you actually did the work in a team, especially not the kind of BS "team" in modern office environments.
> The trouble here is that analysis like this tends to document the symptoms of failure as if they were the causes.

This also holds true for successful businesses!

For example, you will forever read books on successful companies and they will say things like "we were successful because we were agile". In reality that is probably not the case, more likely success was because of a million undefinable small things all mashed together.

I am also in a electric chair. Flying is a terrifying process. My cringe seeing the luggage folks carrying the chair onto the conveyor belt.

The worst part is that its not even bad that the chair breaks, its bad that at the destination your stuck immobile with a 300 pound device.

I rarely travel for this reason. The other is that a attendant/family member is required to come or your not allowed on the flight. I accept this but it still sucks.

>If someone were to come up with an algorithm for predicting the price of a steak dinner at a restaurant, using spotty 5 year old data, I think everyone would be impressed at getting it correct within $3 of $30.

As I said, as an academic exercise it's great. But we're not discussing whether Zillow deserves goodie points. The question is: Is this Zestimate useful for anyone?

From a buyer's or seller's POV, 10% is too high an error. Sure, if your house is only $100K, $10K off is not much. If your house is $300K, you're not likely going to get far by underbidding with $270K, and the seller will be deemed too optimistic for asking $330K (although with bidding wars, it occasionally does happen).

For either the buyer or the seller, being told the price could be between $270-330K is virtually useless in deciding what to buy/sell for. It's just too much variance.

With high numbers, absolute amounts matter more than relative percentage.
If you're interested in results, it's also worth reading the follow-up which show that on equal footings LZSSE8 is a more general choice than LZSSE2 which works well on text and in high compression scenarios (http://conorstokes.github.io/compression/2016/02/24/compress...).
I have never seen surge rates with Lyft. I find lyft to be more cheaper. There are times when from ORD Chicago, Uber would display surge rates (~$55, normally ~$35). Earlier, I used to call 303 taxi which takes forever. Now, I tried lyft which costed me $34 so competition is good

It seems the last sentence rings true for me an my social circle. I have a 15 year old car that costs me almost nothing because it's paid for and worth so little that I only carry liability insurance.

Sure, I could get an awesome new car, but there is absolutely no rational economic reason to do so.

Other than missing lane assist and adaptive cruise, I see no useful features that have emerged in cars for nearly 20 years.

Electric cars are about it, but the environmental impact of effectively throwing away a perfectly good car to get a new electric car defeats the purpose.
