Yeah the homeless population is insane - a long heat wave and I wouldn't be surprised if we had riots.

I'm lucky enough to have a rent-controlled place in Silverlake but it does come with other costs because the owner doesn't really maintain the property. Hallway light doesn't work and we strung up Christmas lights in our kitchen because we can't get an electrician to fix the light in there.

A lot of the startup jobs are on the Westside but considering those easily adds an additional 18k/year in housing costs or doing that terrible 2-3 hour commute everyday.

Thinking hard about moving to Oregon or something and just doing remote work - I've lost most of any enthusiasm I've had for LA.
If you want to stay close to the UK and outside of EU, I guess Switzerland or Iceland make most sense for this type of business.
Otherwise you could move to Americas, South Africa or Asia.
Introducing ARKit
I would have expected that, however, I think their "cheap" device is what a echo costs. What's dissapointing is that lots of small assistants in you house also opens up tons of possibilities. I think their are some interesting possibilities in the Apple TV that they haven't exploited.
let me now reply in more temperate and deliberate language, since this deserves discussion. I would appreciate it if when you disagree with me you attempt to discuss the disagreement with me instead of making assumptions about what I think or believe.

The OP of this thread asks women specifically how to find an employer that she might feel comfortable working at. That is a fair question, though personally I believe that toxic workplaces for women are also toxic workplaces for almost all men as well. But fine, that's not the issue. Some men have responded even though they were asked not to and some of those responses have been thoughtful and potentially useful.

In this subthread a HN moderator told a poster that they had made an unfair comment. That was refuted by another HN poster who asked the moderator to reverse his judgment because it his his responsibility as a moderator to support a particular political agenda that the other poster wants him to support.

I asked that person to reconsider their attitude because, like the moderator, I believe that there was a significant element of unfairness in this subthread and the moderator was correct to call it out because it leads to uncivil and unproductive discussions, as well as encouraging a kind of prejudicial attitude about men.

I agree with the moderator. That is the extent of my statement in this thread. In what way am I co-opting something? What am I co-opting? How does my language accomplish that, if that is what I am doing?

Maybe you will speak to your own positions here as well, since that might advance the conversation. You seem to enjoy sniping me so I don't hold out much hopes, but maybe you'll be nice. What do you think is going on here?
What platform are you on that Linux is more stable, and what flavor are you using? I prefer Linux in everything but I am forced to use Windows and OSX for when I need to be guaranteed "the damn thing will work" - i.e. live coding, presentations, meetings, emergency hotfixes, etc.
Transparent compression on FS level is really usefull. HFS+ had that, and all modern FS have that. Be able to compress 1M text files of source code for example.
Not really. I mean unless I've missed an app or two basically every app that can be used for web development is just absolutely dreadful and the git support terrible since it's not installed and used system-wide (it has to be fully embedded within the app itself).

If someone has a positive experience doing on an iPad I'd love to hear about it because while I would rarely do it it would be nice to be able to quickly change something when I'm on the go. But in my experience so far it's no good.
No promises but I was actually considering having a crack at this as my next project. stay tuned!
> Because I'm an adult and don't choose to get wasted every day simply because I can.

Negative health impacts of drinking kick in way before "wasted every day". People drinking what appear to them to be moderate amounts are sometimes drinking lots more than they should be.

Albeit, I'm talking about UK where a glass of wine after work is normal.
It looks like any app can use the new “FileProvider” framework and implement an “NSFileProviderExtension” to integrate with the “Files” app and other apps. I'm guessing that Dropbox, Google Drive, and the like are only supported by installing the corresponding app.
What I heard was that actual snake-oil was used for a number of things it actually worked on in china, but when someone tried to introduce it in the US, the salesmen figured it was complete bs and no one would notice if they just sold counterfeit oil.

Object Orientation was used for almost everything in Smalltalk, but when someone tried to introduce it in C-based languages, some programmers figured it was bs. Some "consultants" figured it was more programming industry bs/fashion and some marketers figured people would buy stuff if they just claimed everything was Object Oriented.

In the right context, OO can be pretty darn good, but it's not a panacea for everything. (And there is some good OO in C-heritage languages.)
Didn't Jobs once say taking LSD was "one of the most important things that ever happened" to him? I'm sure he'd be just fine with the weed jokes ;)

I don't know what to tell you. My response to someone being concerned about tech culture being inhospitable to women and people of color is sympathy. I have no trouble with this despite being a "white man in tech". If your response is to be triggered by it, all I can tell you is, that's part of what creates the perception that this is such an endemic problem.
• akd is the AuthKit daemon, which among other things authenticates you to the App Store and to iCloud.

• captiveagent detects when you're on a captive-portal network, it does this by checking for known-content domains apple controls

• helpd is the daemon that connects to Apple's online help docs

• locationd powers location services

And so on. These are all easy to google. Come _on._ >:[
Just to add some context, on macOS you can look at the seat-belt policy as a rough analog of for basic sandboxing guarantees, where the fewer exceptions you have the stronger your sandbox is. From that perspective, Chrome's policy has around 1/10th the exceptions of Safari.

* Safari SB policy: https://trac.webkit.org/browser/webkit/trunk/Source/WebKit2/...

* Chrome SB policy: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/content/renderer/render...

And of course, that's before we get into more complex forms of isolation that Chrome implements, such as the sandboxed GPU process, or ongoing work into things like network sandboxing, the macOS bootstrap sandbox, and site isolation (origin-bound renderer sandboxing).

This definitely sounds like a service a lot of people could benefit from, and I wish you the best of luck, but my mind went straight to White Christmas episode of Black Mirror...
In response to OPs polite, inoffensive, post someone told them to "go away"; suggested they had a "mental disorder"; was told they'd never be hired, etc.

Now you optimize for getting your information from the guy who cares the most about it. How is this supposed to free you of bias?
Except OpenCL was more like Metal - designed by Apple, pushed by Apple, used by nobody.

The major game engines already support Vulkan, too, and Vulkan is getting far more game developer support than Metal is. A few of the major engines, like Source 2 & ID Tech 6, also chose to only support Vulkan and not DX12. Largely because DX12 requires Win10 which means out the gate you've eliminated half of your Windows gaming population compared to Vulkan.

Currently all signs point towards Vulkan edging out DX12 in the Windows gaming market. That could change, of course, but Microsoft making DX12 win10-only as well as the closed access preview thing have so far put it at a pretty large disadvantage vs. Vulkan in these early days. Which matters as otherwise the APIs are pretty much the same, so why go with the Win10-exclusive when you can have the exact same thing but everywhere?

Then for your content creation apps where unity/unreal middleware isn't really an option, that's going to be extra painful. Or they just ignore the problem and run OpenGL 4.1 on OSX and OpenGL 4.5+/Vulkan on Windows, and say "suck to all you pro consumers on mac, you should have bought a windows workstation instead"?
The mythology around VC investing is so intense in the valley it is at the point where people don't know (or don't have to know) that there are alternatives that don't rely on massive growth.
>I reluctantly recognize that in order to have an unbiased press, we need news readers to pay the costs of operating a newspaper.

I find that having people pay for operations does not inherently mean that it becomes unbiased - and from American and British media (read: English media that I can read and judge) I do not find this to be the case.

> Once they can put high quality positional tracking in an iPhone, the whole problem is basically solved

Not a big fan of Apple, but AFAIK they have a decent camera on the back of that thing capable of high-FPS video capture (google tells me on iPhone 7 it’s 240 fps for 720p video).

You fix e.g. 3 balls in your room near you, from that image it should be possible to track position by looking at the video stream. In robotics, balls like this are sometimes used for similar application: http://www.precisionballs.com/Satin_Finished_Balls.php

You can even go without special objects in the view, if the background is contrast enough, ain’t too far and ain’t too close.

Not sure about latency, though.
Sure, weed jokes — but the general "dadness" of the last few keynotes seems new and a bit weird.

It's also 3x-4x the price depending on config. Surface Pro's are laptops with touch screens. They have basically no quality touch apps available. iOS has a HUGE lead in the app ecosystem department for touch based apps.
British Airways says a human error caused the crash
I think we just have different views on how to approach bigotry. We both can agree that it is a black mark on our society and we should overcome it as a culture.

However, where we disagree is how to do it. I see the current climate of "preventing the spread of bigoted ideas" as creating what we know as the alt-right. If you check 4chan's /pol/, you will see an incredible amount of people admit to becoming alt-right because "so many snowflakes are always so offended and call me names". If, however, we as a society can more tolerate dark humor and bigoted comments, the bigots either stop talking or evolve to accept more tolerant views. This article as whole is perfect fuel for the alt-right to say "liberals are trying to control everything, even jokes".

To your second point: Pepe wearing a Nazi uniform is not dark comedy. It's racism. They're using memes to further their own ideology, as opposed to the Harvard students who were simply making fun of the offensive nature of the jokes.

Thirdly, I truly don't care for whether or not it's high or low humor. All I'm looking at is intent and whether or not an individual is actively desiring to inflict damage on another group of people. Alt-right memes do this, while the Harvard kids would be the first to admit they were simply making jokes who were not hurting anyone other than the people who decided to be offended by them.
Still no Service Workers :(
Homepod: The new sound of home
Nah, that's just isolated patriots or US false flag operations. /s

The end-game of this whole affair is going to be very interesting, given how many people know what really happened it is only a matter of time before it will all be on the table.

/me wonders if this will ever make the homepage, the points say it should have.
Apple doesn't really have to worry about anyone but I don't think the EarPods compare to this. There is nothing like them in the market. Sure there are wireless ear buds but the battery life of them is crazy.

Speakers on the other hand are mostly "cheap" and anyone can make a decent speaker. JBL has some of the best sounding bluetooth speakers that just need an Assistant to compete. They even have the same full room modes where you can pair them all together. Hell a $30 chromecast audio can sync a bunch together and you can plug them into a $1000 bose speaker.

I just think Apple priced this really high because they wanted to compete with Sonos, and that's fair, but most people will be comparing it to Google Home and the likes who will pass. Will it be another iPod HiFi?
Funny, I watched this and it reminded me of a leaked Microsoft executive looking at OS X "Tiger" and saying "it's like getting to use Longhorn two years early"

(which is to say, iOS 11 makes Surface look archaic, IMHO)
> that have established businesses but are struggling.

I've advised over 50 transaction on behalf of Private Equity firms. These are not true statements.
This is an interesting point. I had the MacRumors live thread up in a tab as the keynote was going on and when I read about the speaker I thought briefly about purchasing it someday. On the other hand, my initial reactions to Amazon and Google's various offerings has been very negative.

I don't think I'll end up with any of them anytime soon, but the difference in reaction was profound.
I agree with what git-pull has commented.

In addition to that, addressing your question:

* There is value in reusing the tool that you have already used, whether django or flask, because you have accumulated knowledge for doing the common stuff that you can carry from one project to the other trivially, and spend the bulk of your time and what really matters for that project.

* IMO, Flask is most suitable for educating oneself on how a web app is structured and what it's crucial features are. With Django, I can only focus on the aspects of the project that matter, and all other bases like security, scalability etc are covered by the django codebase, atleast as long as one follows the best practices.

Also, only override existing django parts, if you need to, not because you can. The obligatory anecdote: For one of my projects, I decided Jinja2 was much better than django Templates and switched to Jinja2. And true, the Jinja2's syntax was more versatile than Django Template's. Unfortunately, it took me sometime to realize that by doing the switch, I also lost the ability to use hundreds of plugins for django-template because either they do not interact with Jinja2, or they do so poorly. For a later project, I stuck to django-templates and with a little diligence, I could make it do all that Jinja2 could do too (atleast those features that I found desirable in Jinja2). Never, never, never add unnecessary complication to a project that needs to be shipped.
Moving the cursor via a two-finger-swipe on the keyboard works surprisingly well. On the iPhone you can use this gesture (3D touch the keyboard) to also select text when pressing harder.
The problem with a subscription model, at least the straightforward one that newspapers use today, is that it encourages political echo chambers. If someone mainly reads, say, the New York Times (which I do), and tends to agree with Times editorials, they'd probably benefit from also reading the WSJ on occasion (both the news and the opinion section), if only to understand the "other side"'s point of view. But people already have a strong cognitive bias towards consuming media they agree with, rather than media that challenges their beliefs and makes them uncomfortable. So it'd be hard enough to attract such a person to the WSJ if it were free. Ask them to fork over hundreds of dollars, and only those with the greatest desire for neutrality (or just a ton of money to spare) will accept.

In my ideal world, I'd be able to pay for one subscription that gives me access to all the professional news outlets, and they'd split the fee based on how much time I spent reading articles on each site. (Time, not clicks, to avoid creating an incentive for clickbait headlines.) Or maybe some sort of micropayments system that's a similar idea but for the whole Web. But I don't see either happening anytime soon...
From what I've read, not quite at GTX 1050 Ti levels for mobile applications. Please provide links if you have other sources.
I dunno, csf samples (and corresponding data) can be quite valuable.

For example, I know someone who had a spinal cyst removed and learned that to this day they do not understand if the fluid is coming from inside or outside the cyst. We lack basic mechanistic information about these issues because there is so little data (then again the papers I looked at that did have such data only checked averages and otherwise weak/incorrect analysis).
That page describes ways to manually recount votes that were cast. But the article suggests that the tampering might have been in the voter registration databases, so that people would wrongly be refused the opportunity to cast a vote.
With BTC at all time highs and ETH up over 2000% this year, are we in a crypto-currency bubble?

Is this all just from money laundering, and off-shoring money from countries that try to prevent moving assets across borders?
Macs can be good value, depending on the situation. When the 5K iMac came out, the base model cost less than the Dell monitor that launched just a couple of months earlier. Even now trying to get a third party screen that beats the one on the 5K isn't streightforward.
It's not a goal I guess to shrink these "photon CPU-s" to 5nm at start.

> but this is still far from the realm in which it makes sense to replace an electronic transistor with an optical transistor

The electromagnetic spectrum even at mid-near infrared wavelengths frequencies could help chips operate on the THz scale! You might list a mountain of reasons it can't work, but it's just fun to imagine that it might be possible to turn a cycle of light to an operation.

You can build interesting things at that scale, in this research they also refer to communication as you mentioned [1]

> The Chrome security team is probably the most sophisticated software security team in the industry

Unfortunately the Chrome security team can't provide the kind of security I care about - security from Google's tracking.
ambition in the context of self sacrifice can be quite powerful
For anyone following, this is Justin Schuh of the Chrome security team (and co-author of TAOSSA, probably still the best book in all of software security).

Another thing Chrome does out of the box that Safari doesn't is U2F.

Still another is Chrome's industry-leading TLS management, including the pioneering of HPKP and the Chrome/Firefox pin list, and the aggressive policing of the WebPKI CAs.

I've been pretty aggressively terse in this thread, because I didn't even realize this was a live argument anymore. Safari is simply not as secure as Chrome, and it's less secure in ways that are meaningful to normal users.

Again: iOS, different story.
It's not practical in a modern operating system to put every possible function at your fingertips and intuitively discoverable. There are better and worse ways to organize things, but there's just too much stuff to put all off it front and center.

GUIs are still much better than a command line in this respect, since with a GUI it's actually possible to find what you're looking for by randomly exploring, even if it's not always quick or practical.
I think this is not what WSJ is after. I think they are trying to pressure Google to find a more suitable policy (suitable to WSJ) by putting Google users behind paywall while allowing free visits from social media. They are probably laying the groundwork for future battles, sorry, I meant talks.
Isn't tranquility and joy only serving your own happiness, too? I mean, it's literally less involved with others' social and financial positivity than pursuing business, even if you're only in business for your own success.
Interestingly I'm not sure I agree with this. At a previous Job my boss (not CEO, but sub-org head) called from the hospital less than an hour before giving birth; showed up at work just days after. Without her, I think, actually intending it, this set up a quite bad precedent, that some people felt like they needed to follow. I think that got resolved after I left, but she'd not realized that other people thought she explicitly did this to set up an example. People feel it's a lot harder to complain about things if leadership lives through it as well, even if that's not comparable.

I've heard similar stories from others since.
If you don't have the kind of security Chrome provides, then in reality everyone can track you, because all they have to do to own up your machine is get you to look at a web page.
On the iPad you can drag two fingers over the keyboard to move the cursor around. When you have text selected, two finger dragging on the top half moves the left side of the selection and the bottom the opposite. It's a very useful gesture.
It would have to have been from before his presidency - he doesn't fly around on a private jet anymore but a US Air Force plane that, not only because of the fact of it being a military plane, but also because it is the most important military plane when he's on it, is the exception to most air traffic control rules.
It's interesting to note that Lisp has some "def easys", just not for classes. There is a defsetf for simple situations, so you don't have to use define-setf-expander. defsetf's simplicity isn't one-size-fits-all either; it has a short form and a longer form. In the same area of functionality, there is define-modify-macro which handles simple cases, freeing the user from calling get-setf-expansion and dealing with its return values.

Welcome to HN. I take it you're new here?
If you want to pay for good journalism, then rankings WSJ higher hasn't made a since several years before the News Corp. takeover.

More to the point, though, if you have an affinity for WSJ and similar content, yes, Google will probably pick that up over time, though getting a big enough boost to outweigh the cloaking penalty completely may be difficult.

OTOH, if the WSJ is useful to.you even with a hard paywalled—that is, if you are a paying subscriber—you'll presumably have it bookmarked and it will be on of your go to direcrt sources for news; you won't need discovery through Google to find content there very often.
