Songwriters have realized this a long time ago. Most successful bands write between 80-100 songs per album release.

Hard work and practice pretty much always makes one better.
I'm with you on that. I've never built a hackintosh but the hardware support this brings, combined with the constrained all-in-one form factor I personally disdain, is pushing me towards building an iMac Pro-logical equivalent hackintosh. If I could pay to have a legal licence and support for it, I'd do so in a flash.
Even if it's behind a paywall, there is benefit in crawling it.

For instance, if you happened to be a logged WSJ user, then google could show you the result based on your cookies.
It's maybe off-topic to discuss the page design, but I agree.

I hate these landing pages that are effectively PowerPoints -- very little information per screenful of content, with crap transition effects between every "slide".
Stopping fingerprinting right now is essentially impossible for a motivated attacker. It's enough to block the dumb trackers, but as long as performance is a consideration caches will exist. And as long as caches exist, so will fingerprinting.
That's exactly the issue. These people have no value to provide modern society, because they're either not smart enough, or dont have the requisite quals to go into white collar work. Their 72 years of life experience were working hard in a plant and being loyal to a buiness, which then shutdown or outsourced their jobs

Historically, there were places for these people. Manufacturing, truck driving, etc.
White collar people are working on automating them out of existence..
So now they deserve to starve ?
Because they're hard workers, honest, loyal, decent people, but just can't cut it in the modern professions that provide value?
That's the Crux of it. That explains Trump to me
It's not about "entitlement" it's about the structural incentives put in place by the online media playing field.

To go out in the streets and talk to people, dig deep into obfuscated government archives, and actually make sense of the world takes real work. It's often work that results in content that isn't always just what their readers want to see.
I think you over-interpreted my statement juuust a little bit... ;)

I am simply criticizing the common norm of blaming the bullied person for not being cool enough.

I have no problems with my self-esteem and I think well of myself. But I am also not disillusioned when it comes to accepting the fact that you can only enjoy a happy life if you adapt to your surroundings. And if you stick your neck out to far you are going to get burned.

So yes, there are other ways of gaining self-esteem. By getting really self-confident about your own abilities regarding cellular automata or whatever. But not all those paths are going to make you a happy and relaxed person. You always have to consider the context you are in. Of course, both your source of self-esteem and your context are variable, but there is no denying that they both have big influence on your happiness.
You mean 2012 (Macmini6,x), right? The last of the quad-cores.
I think you responded to the wrong person. I didn't claim it was unethical.
Do You Really Need to Raise Another Round?
Sweet, thanks.
Ah, I made a similar (but simpler) one years ago: https://github.com/kevmo/greasemonkey/blob/master/quora_upvo...
For AR, to win, you do not have to be the first one to market to win, its who can make the best platform for developers will win. As an AR developer, previous platforms like Vuforia, ARToolkit, and even Tango are either limiting or very hard to work with.
Here's an evergreen post with the "current status": https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/6eau79/curren...

TL;DR: You can install and run it, but touch, pen, and the dGPU do not work, which makes it kind of pointless compared to e.g. an XPS 13.
Common, while there are some sexist comments, majority are not. Paranoia over sexism harms too - there is no reason to promote more fear then is actually reasonable.

Women are not helped by painting the world worst then it really is - that just makes women less likely try things that could turn out enjoyable or profitable.

IMO, that is one of the things that holds women back - the moment we poke out of cocoon helpful people feel the need to inform us about grave imagined dangers and some end up believing that. If you want more females to try out these things, dont overestimate problems (nor ignore them).
If you change the way that you consume news, this is less of a problem.

Stop visiting the aggregators like Google News. Stop believing anything you read on Facebook that is not from a publication that you consider reputable.

There will always be people who are easily influenced because they refuse to take the time to understand the provenance of the information they consume. This has always been true. But if you truly consider yourself "an independent thinker" (which is why so many Americans claim to be "independents") you have to consider the trustworthiness of the outlets feeding you information. You can't outsource that decision making to anyone else like Google or Facebook.
But he coined the name.
It says a lot about the state of the web that both Apple and Google are looking at publishers and saying "Look, if you won't fix your websites, we'll fix them for you" (Google in the form of AMP on mobile devices). However, as one of those who subscribes to the opinion that AMP breaks the web, I greatly prefer Apple's approach.

It makes me wonder how many publishers at national newspapers and magazines are even aware of what’s going on.
I've never seen such a shocking injustice I cared so little about!
The two options are Apple integrate Spotify Connect, or Spotify integrate AirPlay 2.0. I don't have much faith in either option happening.

Bluetooth wouldn't be good enough.
During the 2016 talk on APFS they mentioned it was dropped for various reasons. SSD performance is so ridiculous now that the CPU can't decompress quickly enough, so it'd impair performance. The new notebooks and desktops do 3GB/s read/write, so that's a lot to crunch through in real-time.

I'd suppose if compression is imporatant, do it in your application.
This. I don't care if I'm using Python 2 or 3, but I really hate switching between two similar, but not completely equal, languages. The rift made Python more damage than a forceful switch would, IMHO of course.
Maybe there's an opportunity for a coalition of sources (WSJ, NYT, Bloomberg, WP, et cetera), to get together with a SE like DuckDuckGo and allow deeper search integration in some type of paid membership plan.
Fanboy attack. Logic out the window.
If you're paying for good journalism why are you using Google search to find it?
In general not everyone withdraws at the same time, but there are generational demographic pressures. As more and more time progresses, the baby boomers will withdraw more and more of their savings - so one could characterize a set of outflow models of some sort there. The saved amount of discretionary pay going to younger generations is an inflow. I really don't know if the outflow will exceed the inflow, but I would note that younger generations live under many decades of squeezing of 'excess' margins in wages to labor. And that makes the question of wether the outflow will exceed the inflows much more of something to ponder.
What I want to know is: can the HomePod stream music directly from the internet like the Sonos or even the Chromecast audio? I mean, it would be quite stupid to have this thing requiring a iDevice/Mac to stream audio.
> Apple is a hardware company. They make their money by selling computers.

Also phones, I hear, are big for them. And music. And payment processing.
Why is it wrong to want to make your job easier? I guess I don't see your point of view..
Your sibling comment is a strong rebuttal to the parent. This comment though basically confirms the suspicion of the parent.

The argument on this subthread is that you can't judge the response of the community based on the most immediate, knee-jerk comments written on a thread. What you're doing is attempting to co-opt that sentiment into rebutting the question the thread is based on.
There's a ton wrong with what you've just said:

- First, the Pac Shores offices that Google acquired is in Redwood City, not Redwood shores, which is further to the north. It's not a 'continuation' of their campus but an entirely new campus.

- Second, Pac Shores was built in the middle of an industrially zoned area on a port. The massive salt ponds separating Pac Shores from RWC have had different proposals to further urbanize the area but they've been repeatedly shot down. The area is developing, give it time.

- Lastly, there are bicycle, walking paths, and caltrain shuttles going into downtown RWC from Pac shores, so it's easily accessible to the public library or a coffee shop if you want to go (I recommend Bliss coffee).
Mandatory company-prescribed fun would be a great big red flag. The company wants you to be loyal to it, but it won't ever be loyal to you. A certain Austrian had something to say about mandatory activities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJFtkHOZ7jw
Even ignoring that you'll need multiple photos to do the 3D reconstruction you need for augmented reality, that 100 year old photos may be lacking in resolution, and giving a few decades of leeway either way for that "100 years ago" I doubt even Google has enough data to have a reasonable chance of having a photo for random locations you might point your camera at.
I'm paying 1k a month for a 2 bedroom apartment and I can get anywhere in Minneapolis or St. Paul in less than 30 minutes. People don't seem to like the Midwest but apartments here are way cheaper for many cities.
> Netflix was completely incompatible with PC operating systems that didn't run Silverlight. Netflix is nowe incompatible with operating systems that don't support the required DRM

Meanwhile HTML has moved from being a completely open specification implementable by anyone and everyone who wanted to, to being closed.

Now it's reduced to being available only on that tiny subset you mentioned. Only companies and platforms blessed by Hollywood can implement a fully compliant HTML engine.

The open web enabled alternate OSes like Linux, Mac, iOS and Android. This change effectively means there won't be any new alternate OSes in future. The innovation ends here.

That's a huge fucking loss. And Netflix is not worth that loss.

They can make an app like everyone fucking else. Like they already do for all platforms not PC. I fail to see what the big problem is.
How is this a big mystery isn't pretty much everything that's user generated content a photo and everything that's a logo or brand not a photo?
I like people I can work with well but I have no desire to ever do anything outside of work with my colleagues.
No, but I kind of ignored it as that argument is irrelevant. What they've always done has no bearing on the situation

So I might want to adjust my comment even though you admittedly ignored what I said and the context I said it in?

Saying it's illogical to put DRM on content because it can be broken is just as illogical as saying it is illogical to lock your car door because a thief can break the window.

What "weight" does Netflix have against the entire movie and music industry?
Interesting. The famous example is UK private railways that became bad very quickly. Again Canada is balanced.
Weltschmerz-mit-Kummerspeck
I am absolutely betting that the eventual 5k “Cinema Display” has a built-in GPU. It’s not like Apple to make support for hardware markets they aren’t planning on competing in, and an enclosure is too hacky for Cupertino.
Do you think they'll follow Amazon's lead and release a dot-like device also? It could be that their hi-fi, high-price strategy is only in the short term — and that they're planning on serving a broader market after they extract an extra $300 out of their die-hard fans.
That is never going to happen. You're just not Apple's target audience.

And they did try this model back in the clone days where Power Computing went straight after their high margin customers and nearly killed the company. Great for consumers. Terrible for Apple.
I'm not being snide with #notallmen. The hashtag exists because denial is such a common response when sexism is pointed out.

dang acts like sexism is just like any other topic on which HN is passionate and divided. Like tabs versus spaces, or whether linux is ready for the desktop.

Sexism is far more pernicious and far more serious than those other hot button topics though, so it should not be piled onto that heap.

I'm baffled by the suggestion that reasonable responses somehow negate the hateful bile others post. If somebody gets sexually harassed by 3 people in the office, does it help to point out the other 17 people have done no sexual harassment at all?
It's still missing mouse support
Because the miner almost always expects a fee, so why not just infer how high it is and you don't need to spend block bytes on it?
> These people have no value to provide modern society, because they're either not smart enough, or dont have the requisite quals to go into white collar work.

Or you have something on your SE history that makes you totally unsuitable for hire, according to the muckity-mucks in charge.
Another Knuth-related one that is less programming that I found rewarding to read was 'Concrete Mathematics.' It is per its own description a lengthier version of the TAOCP, but it's mostly or entirely exempt of actual code. But because of the subject matter it spawned from it tends to cover math of 'what comes later' so there is a very specific perspective of Knuth style that comes from it and its easier to see the eventual application.
Probably not; unfortunately, we don't seem to have a good digital marketplace for journalism.

That could be interesting, though; a storefront with a model somewhere between Steam/Amazon and Netflix/Spotify. Somewhere to both collate the offerings which you can purchase, and highlight content from those outfits at the same time.
Russian Hackers Attempted to Breach U.S. Election Systems Days Before Vote
Exactly. You can put whatever you want in it, but the only thing that people would want to, generally speaking, is a GPU.
Well, at least this should shut up the complainers about apple hardware. There is now really going to be an option.

It's not great, it's not something to be enthusiastic about but it's better then rumbling about the next iOS version of something.
> Maybe the future of news survival is to pair it with a company that makes money, to support the journalism

To be honest, that's the past and present of most news as well.

Newspapers would have never been around based on advertising alone. The fee usually paid for printing and sending, and classifieds made up the bulk of the revenue. Now that they're decoupled and both news and classifieds are pretty much free, it's no wonder that news is struggling.

Hard news has (almost) never been a wildly profitable endeavor in and of itself.
> I'm happy to pay for my news, because I want news to be truth, not propaganda

I don't think there's a significant correlation there at all. The NYTimes hawks subscriptions almost as heavily as the WSJ.
Personally, I think this is by far apple's worst announcement page. Maybe because I viewed it on firefox, at a weird screen size, but the last two panels never loaded for me. The "thermal viewer" element is identical to the speaker panel sans the cool airflow demo. The huge "500 nits 43% brighter One billion colors Support for 10-bit spatial and temporal dithering." li's are really ugly to me. The panel header text looks nice and big, why do you have to use these super H1s?

Maybe I am just bitter here, but the only thing I like is the keyboard
Working Effectively With Unit Tests is quite useful. It's focused on Java but the advice given applies well beyond that.
There is a difference between news and opinion. Something like Stratechery is pure opinion; but it's opinion that I value because I feel it provides a lot of good insights.

It's fine to crowdsource opinion. It's not ok to crowdsource news -- trust is a fundamental part of the equation.
Do you think there was any change in quality from the first window you painted after you decided to start going fast, versus the last one? Like, did you get better at painting windows quickly, even if they weren't up to the quality of the pedantic, slow one?
Week 22 in Information Security, 2017
> When did you launch this product?

Before today, we've been quietly testing various iterations of a live dating & relationship advice service on the web. We think dating advice is a big need that has many use cases (e.g. texting to get a first date, how to act on a date, how to read signals/hints, how to define a relationship, how to handle a breakup, how to get your ex back). For YC S17, we decided to double down on the use case of texting on dating apps in order to get a high-quality first date.

Today is the first time we've gone live with WittyThumbs, a dedicated site around this use case, and the first time we've built annotated posts (like Genius's song lyric annotations) to showcase the kind of advice we give.

> What's your traction like? How many active users and what's the weekly growth rate like?

Our experts have given live advice to over 1,000 users on various topics and have had good repeat-usage numbers. The most encouraging thing is that some of our users are extremely passionate about the service and really appreciate having us on call. We ourselves would have been such users only 5-10 years ago, so it's nice to validate that we're not the only ones.

> What are your monetization plans?

It's basically what you see at https://wittythumbs.com/chat - we charge for our experts' time giving you live advice. Professional dating coaches usually require setting appointments and paying ~$200/hour, so we're high quality and affordable. In fact, you can use us to get 5 minutes of advice here and there (e.g. help me interpret this text I just received), and only pay for the time you use.

> How has the YC experience been so far?

We got into YC on April 27 and the first day of the batch is actually tomorrow, so it's early in the game. I will say the biggest thing about getting into YC, or any incubator really, is that it's really nice to have a support network of smart people who you know are there to help you.
You work on the Apple Safari team. Are you really saying you feel like Safari's sandbox and anti-exploit features are comparable to those of Chrome? That would be a newsworthy claim.
The file manager is better late than never. My real question is what will text editing look like?

The lack of a cursor on iPad makes something like programming or writing on the iPad insanely frustrating. Have you ever tried selecting a precise amount of text with your finger?
Apple External Graphics Dev Kit
You can turn off spotlight and safari and siri suggestions and there should be no traffic to Apple after that.
I think this is a good thing they are not baking AR into the camera like Facebook is doing with the Camera Effects Platform.

This allows developers to invent future "camera" apps that could be better to use than the regular camera.
The userscript that accompanies it catches a bunch of things that AAK misses. Ctrl-Fing through the script, I see there's a section specifically for "forbes.com".
Woah, WebRTC at last? They kept that one quiet.
My 7048A supermicro running double E5-2650 (2x 10 cores) with 1TB ram, quadro P4000 was around 5000$, without monitor.
>> They claim that to build your own workstation comparable to their $5k base model would cost at least $7k.

It's true for initial costs, but it's a little misleading if you use separate components and recycle them at different intervals. For example I usually go through two or three computers before I even replace my monitors.
Is it really huge, though? They still don't support Vulkan or even OpenGL 4.2 (2011)

What are you even going to use that eGPU with other than installing Windows through bootcamp so you can actually make use of the hardware?
Game in 4D
> A Pro machine with external monitors can't force an upgrade the same way as an all-in-one machine.

Trashcan MacPro user here. I would have happily purchased a new one with Thunderbolt 3 and an semi-up-to-date Nvidia card (OR external GPU support), if they had actually updated the Pro when Thunderbolt 3 became a thing. Instead they just let it die.
This is not even close to the other product pages on Apple's website. Feels like it was made 5 years ago.
The correct course of action would result in a complete restructuring of NSA. The idiotic course of action would be waging a nuclear war with Russia.
What developers are needing a Mac Pro ?

Unless you're doing machine learning and then chances are you're either doing it in the cloud or you already have a specd out white box. Otherwise Macbook Pro has been more than sufficient.
EXACTLY. Someone made a mistake at some point like we all do.
Nokia owns several HEVC patents, in fact I think they're currently suing apple about it. This is a veiled attempt to get everyone to use their patented tech so we can relive the mp3/mp4 clusterfuck. You would be a fool to use this for anything.

What's so bad about WebP? It's not the best thing in the universe but it beats JPEG and PNG and has a wide support base. With a shim it has native support in most browsers anyways since WebP is a just a single frame of video. And as a bonus you don't have to worry about someone suing you for royalties down the road.
Their FAQ (unlisted on the main page) is interesting as well..

>It just isn't that useful for dealing with photos taken with a separate camera.

I recently went on a trip with no laptop -- only my "real" camera, my iPhone, and a Western Digital MyPassport Wireless Pro: https://www.wdc.com/products/portable-storage/my-passport-wi...

It worked out surprisingly well. I mainly bought the MyPassport for the extra storage space so I didn't have to bring a million SD cards, but it also worked well as a backup battery pack for the phone, and for transferring a few of those images to the phone for immediate access. Admittedly, I shot in RAW + JPEG and the app only recognizes the JPEGs (from what I could tell quickly) but it was good enough for the few photos I wanted to share right away after taking them.

I don't have an iPad but I've been considering one just for photo editing with the pencil. I hear Lightroom on iPads is getting better, and I just got an e-mail today about Affinity Photo being released for iPad.

But yeah, consider the WD MyPassport if transferring/storing photos without a true laptop was a problem.
Even without JavaScript or cookies, HTTP request headers can reveal a lot of unique entropy:

* Browser
* Browser version
* OS
* OS version
* Machine architecture such as x86, x86-64, or ARM
* User locale
* IP address
* DNT flag

Trackers can also tag clients with unique cookie-like ETag or Cache-Control values that clients will return in future HTTP requests.
If you opt out of Xeon, you can build it for around $3k, complete with nVidia 1080. Mine is $2.5k, but I opted for a 4-core CPU, 32G ram, a 1080, and 1TB flash. Works perfectly.
bullish. whenever the average HN comment is negative for new tech you know it's going to be huge.

great guide here too.
True...but while his ideas were great, his writing hasn't aged well. I picked up a Foundation novel in a thrift store a few months ago in a moment of nostalgia and found myself cringing so much that it was a relief to reach the end.

Television soap operas are also impressive in purely quantitative terms, but that doesn't make them good, does it?
Obviously I'm speculating, but Apple has a history of hinting at their long term design strategy for their new lines via staggered product releases.

MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and now an iMac Pro... it's natural to assume they're going to extend this convention across their product line. I'd bet money on an 'iPhone Pro' this fall.
They inconsistently support older OS's. The current Safari 10 runs on the previous release, "El Capitan".
