> They don't consider other people's ideas, or they're just generally rude - whatever it is. Just generally hard to work with. Now try to think about somebody who makes inappropriate propositions to women in the workplace: this is just another brand of the same problem. If you can't get along with some of your fellow female coworkers because they don't feel comfortable with you, then you're not a good team player.

I disagree with the idea that we should bully, and ostracize people from society for making mistakes or simply not being able to interact socially with others as well as we all want.

That doesn't fix anything it only makes things worse.

We should be focusing on teaching, and embracing that people make mistakes and working on fixing those issues, if someone refuses to acknowledge that when it is seriously risking the safety of those around them, that is when it becomes a problem that should be handled with grace.

I am heavily against this group ostracizing, demeaning, and bullying tactic. It is getting disgusting, you can see it constantly on twitter, and it is starting to float onto hacker news.

None of those are enough. Unless the spying feature is directly marketed to consumers, e.g. a TV ad that says "Buy a color printer THAT SPIES ON YOU today!", >92% of the population will never learn about it. (That estimate being from the # who don't read license agreements: https://measuringu.com/eula/)

Generally, anything that less than half of the population knows abut is a secret (e.g., menstruation is still called a "secret" in some circles...), so you shouldn't be confused, just disappointed at how gullible / uninformed the average person is.

That seems likely. You can even go under the radar a bit. Pick a popular module that is commonly misspelled by end users. Clone it, rename it, and wait.
I'm on Fido/Rogers in Quebec/Ontario, and they have had IPv6 enabled for 1-2 years. Make sure that your APN settings enable IPv6 (in Android, there's an option for that).

Mobile is the main reason why Canada is >15% adoption on google-stats [1]. On DSL/cable, Rogers and Cogeco provide IPv6, as do smaller re-sellers such as Teksavvy on DSL, but otherwise big players such as Bell and Videotron have been dragging their feet and giving lame excuses.

> The great majority of Jupiter's 69 known moons travel in retrograde orbits, meaning they travel in the direction opposite the planet's spin.

Sketchy! I don't suppose we have a prediction for the next anticipated lunar collision? Surely this system isn't stable.

If two moons in opposite orbits collide, then there would presumably be an even more spectacular event when the majority of the combined mass of those moonlets fall straight down into Jupiter. Imagine a ~1km ball of magma zipping past the Roche limit and punching a hole right through the Jovian atmosphere.

Creating the Monument Valley Illusion in Unity
It absolutely does not make sense for Apple to support this on Android. AR is something that uniquely leverages assets that Apple has: its various AR related acquisitions (Metaio, FlyBy Media, Faceshift, Emotient, WiFiSLAM, PrimeSense) and most importantly their prowess in chip design.

It is trivial for the Android ecosystem to replicate an Instagram for their platform, it will be much more difficult to do this for AR and thus will be a meaningful source of competitive advantage.

There are real economic barriers to having the necessary hardware for AR. High-end Android phones don't ship anywhere near the numbers of iPhones to give it the scale required to make the necessary investments in hardware and software worth it (both from OEMs and Google). And that will ultimately limit the opportunity and market for developers, disincentivizing them to invest in it.

This is an area where Apple's scale, margins and ability to deploy new technologies and see meaningful adoption from users and developers (think about how fast Touch ID rolled down into the entire iPhone/iPad installed base, setting it up for Apple Pay years later) pulls up the ladder on would-be competitors.
How do you mean it dwindles? It seems to hold steady and increase in some countries.

This is a somewhat recent figure I found. https://9to5mac.com/2017/01/11/ios-market-share-kantar/

Aren't you just describing torpedoes, but not submerged?
Not too bad. Some things are connected to GC and JIT-code generation, but if you wanted just BBQ or OMG (no tiering) something could be done. Tiering too, but then you have more of JSC in there, really depends what you want.

Depending on what you want to do, there are a few experimental .wasm -> LLVM IR -> machine code things around.

Problem is really what your embedder would be. Import / export is what you'd have to define! In JavaScript we have a standardized API for that.
yeah it's a gambit. When you win you win big. But many times you don't win at all.

In a statistics sense I'd be curious what the expected (average) return on being a founder is
I'm willing to bet the only reason they did that is because they already had beats customers on android.

The whole point of these APIs is to let developers make a better apps on iOS so people want an iOS device. If they port any of them to android all they're doing is making it easier for people to leave their platform.

Controversial opinion here...

Why are the vocal hacker news commenters against segregated groups? For instance, what would be the issue with places that have selective hiring for individuals that meet their cultural composition and why does that bother you specifically?

Isn't that the case in every location?

In this case, there was harassment, however generally it is understood that "birds of a feather flock together" so wouldn't it make sense to simply find your flock rather than trying to force yourself to mold to someone else's?

I am genuinely curious about this as it seems to be a rising trend where the vocal minority want to enforce their idea of culture and beliefs onto others as if it were a religious or cult like movement that I have seen before in Christian groups.
> but for control systems or reading sensors its often enough.

But not for the self-driving car generation, where the sensors are higher-bandwidth.

As I recall, Mobileye worked around this by just putting the detection intelligence with the camera and sending back synthetic data.
>>I'd define true net neutrality quite simply as delivering the same performance to all traffic regardless of source or content of that traffic.

>That requires bending the laws of physics to implement. Google fiber will always be able to deliver Youtube content faster than anyone else, the speed of light being what it is and all....or perhaps you are suggesting they should be forced to house their servers in Comcast Data Centers?

That's clearly not what I said. You seem to have a poor understanding of how networks and the internet work to contrive this strawman.

> Its more than just that. The entire communications infrastructure -- not just internet but nearly all form of comms -- embed within themselves the notion of over-subscription. The phone company, internet ISP, postal service all have more potential demand than they have available bandwidth. QoS must be implemented otherwise these services would simply collapse.

This also doesn't make sense. Many of the backbones I am intimate with are among the largest in the world and yet have no trouble avoiding congestion through correct provisioning. Some providers like Comcast due to whatever (organizational, incompetence, business) reason do not do this. QoS doesn't really work how you think it does. NN is about ensuring that like NetFlix and JoeBlogsNewStreaming service get equal treatment on the network. They are not going to be riding in separate classes. The anti-NN tactics of the big carriers is to throttle, actively not upgrade peering connection, route over longer paths, etc.

> Moreover, If I pay for 1Gb internet and you pay for dial-up is that "neutral"?

Yes.

> Is it legal for me to pay you extra to route my VOIP traffic with priority? Or should that be banned?

That is a better question. Personally I somewhat lean towards not allowing multiple classes of service on the internet or access networks. But so long as the classes are not selectively applied to traffic by the carrier, and are selected/paid for by the consumer buying the circuit/transit then at least that is a level playing field and I am okay with it.
Junior developers don't often skip payroll (they can move on if asked to do so) founders do. Junior developers don't often mortgage their houses or max out credit cards, founders do.

I can go on and on.

I think getting into debt is dumb, but statistics show that founders risk a lot more than employees. And many people do not want to be founders. Please don't call them slaves.

Math's 'god particle' may be prime numbers. Though on the surface the concept of prime numbers involves just integers and you can explain it to 8-year olds, there are major unproven conjectures and deep allied mathematics. And now the worlds digital banking system and private messages depends on special properties of prime numbers [factorization].

Depends what stats you consider:

No, but they're easily the best selling phones due to the incredible number of different options on the android side.

How does a nameless resume help if you haven't removed schools, class, year of graduation, grades and all the other signifiers correlated with free-time and networks.

Why has this comment thread devolved into comparing the number of Android OS installs versus the number of iPhones sold.

They are apples and oranges and the point is that the iPhone for a few years back is a guaranteed hardware specification that you can guarantee ARKit will work on. If you think about this for Android, you'd need to slice it by the devices that are compatible - it's not going to be a guarantee by OS.
I probably was too extreme by calling that particular instance "policing" so I apologize for wording that poorly.

But, that aside, your claim of "normalization" remains baseless.
Sure that's the goal but in practice I don't think it's working. People use cross platform tools like Unity or React Native or OpenCV because they know they have to support Android and can't kick that can a year or two down the road like they used to.
Not being someone who harasses others at work, I don't know if this would work. But if your company had a reputation of taking that kind of thing seriously, wouldn't it mean that those bad actors would be less likely to apply at your company?
I had a professor who would joke that it was called Concrete Mathematics both because it was foundational math for computer science, but also because it was as hard as concrete.
This seems to be only color printers. Does that mean B&W printers are too hard to add the tracking information to?
It will become even more monopolised without protection in isp level.

Assholes at Netflix who supported it now turn their backs because they have become big company that now no longer needs net neutrality to grow..
No, FOSS printer hardware, firmware and software. Obviously, nothing mainstream like that exists. It's not just the dots. Since printers are connected to networks, and there have been countless printer vulnerabilities, it's a worthy cause in its own right.
They're not making a naturalistic fallacy. They're saying that our understanding of environmental influence of internal makeup is incomplete. What they're saying would extend our theory, and potentially our lives, too. It could also create new inventions, pushing us to become even more artificial in a technological/medical sense.
Watch the first lecture!
This is the exciting new world I am thinking (hoping?) might happen. If this web assembly thing ends up being a success, the web is going to start taking an even larger slice of the development pie.

There will still be a place for native apps of course, but that place will IMO be much smaller.
A simple, but reasonably robust solution to the cam problem is just to screw around with black frames, that is, the frames in the middle of a fade out. Give yourself 20 places where you can insert an extra frame and choose 10 to insert, and you already given yourself 40 bits to play with.

(It's trivial to deal with the audio sync issues.)

Cams may have a lot of spatial unreliability, but they have a lot of temporal resolution.

And that's just my stupid of-the-cuff answer, which is already off to a decent start. And there are in fact purely-spatial solutions that do work, to which the temporal solutions can be added. The upshot is don't expect to beat these anytime soon. There's just too many bits to hide in, and so few bits needed for the identification.
Ah, I found it. It turns out if you include nonaggregated columns it will just pick one value from the group arbitrarily.

Why would Apple port core technologies to a competing platform ? Did Google port Play Services to Windows ? No. And no one would expect them to since it is a core differentiator for their platform.

ARKit isn't a backend service it's an OS library so doesn't make sense to be cross platform.
Quickly returning the top-k elements: computer science vs. the real world
The output of the intelligence community is surprisingly low. One director of the NSA said, pre-9/11, that the whole organization generated about one important result every two days, one that was acted upon.

The output of the US's domestic anti-terrorism effort is low for the resources invested. Most of the FBI's terrorism arrests are wannabes. They get a report of somebody mouthing off in a bar or mosque, crank up a sting operation, get some dummy to go through the motions of trying something, and claim they've stopped a terrorist.

The DoD/CIA operation to find foreign terrorist leaders and kill them seems to have paid off. Anybody identified as a major leader in Al-Queda has a short life expectancy.
I hope that ARKit can be a lesson in what works well and what doesn't, and spur the open source community to create something like it, but cross platform. As more phones get dual cameras, what we can do with software like this will only get better.

Look at OpenCV for example.
Sure, that's because they're unlikely to be reimbursed, compared to employees.

I believe that employees can get reimbursed for expenses also, but only after the "unreimbursed expenses" exceed a percentage of adjusted gross income. I think it's a 5% threshold, but I haven't checked in years.
In this scenario (where we are exploring the issue of Net Neutrality) they perform the same function as carriers for a lot of the services you utilize on the internet. Legal distinctions are pointless to this discussion, because this discussion is about the appropriateness of those legal distinctions and regulations in the first place.
I know very little about this company, but this headline had caught my attention: "Reliance Jio boosts India past 20% IPv6 capability" https://blog.apnic.net/2017/02/07/reliance-jio-boosts-india-...
Generally not. PLCs are designed to be as reliable and fault tolerant as possible, so they don't allow recursion (along with a bunch of other things, like direct memory access with pointers[1]) since it's so easy to accidentally make something either take a really long time, or fail to terminate. You can fake it by piping an output into a variable which is also used as an input, but this makes it explicit that the last value is used then the next value stored, rather than multiple steps of recursion happening in one scan.

Generally the kind of software you develop in structured text doesn't need recursion anyway.
Even in the industrial… I wonder.

We've seen some of the stuff Microsoft talks about with hololens. The idea that it could be useful to some people in industrial/business settings.

What if instead of needing a
Hololens dev kit for $3k or waiting for a production version that will probably be at least $1k… you could get your application to work with the $350 iPad when the new OS comes out in September?

Sure Hololens Will be better at some things, but that's a hell of a price difference and it will be available retail soon. By the time your app is ready for your workers to use iOS 11 will probably be out.

It's very hard for me to understand how the author of this article got to "[printer tracking codes are] exactly how the FBI says it was able to find and arrest her less than a month later", when nothing in the affidavit says that this evidence was used in the investigation and the reporter doesn't quote any source saying that it was. The argument seems to be that, because the government could have had access to such evidence, it was in fact used.

The article implicitly accuses the government of deliberately concealing this investigative method in its affidavit (which is certainly possible and could be akin to deceptions and omissions that have happened before), yet doesn't mention that the FBI has not, in fact, admitted to doing so. (Nor did the author report having asked the agency!)
But this solution works on easy to get devices of which there are already hundreds of millions in the field.

It's not exactly a small market to address. Square has shown that you can get people to buy apple hardware for used in some specific capacity.
Are We Reading About a Hero or Terrorist? Wasp by Eric Frank Russell
I imagine if I had used AirBnB (a YC company) and their legal troubles as an example, it would be considered even ruder.

The reality is that an awful lot of companies today seem to be all about the benjamins in a way that isn't healthy for anyone. There is no nice way to say that and say "I would like to not pursue such a business model."
The documentation says that it can do rough measurements and automatically scales things correctly. They pointed that out in the demo where the coffee cup was roughly the right size for a coffee cup instead of 5 feet tall or something like that.
Another example is how the ECB has no dual mandate. Its only mandate is to control inflation. It has no mandate to limit unemployment.

As the Euro crisis began to cause political instability they've backed off a little, but they took their single mandate very seriously and stuck to their "no fiscal stimulus" guns for a very long time during the crisis.
Torpedoes, not submerged, that carry their own weapons, can be individually programmed with complex missions (escort / patrol / hit-and-run), perform dynamic evasive maneuvers, and generally try to protect themselves rather than being one-shot disposables? There's a word for that kind of torpedo. We call them 'boats'.
Of course Apple and developers can choose to ignore Android.

The market within the iOS space is huge and if building an iOS only app using ARKit is more profitable then why not ? It's all about ROI. There isn't an equivalent for ARKit on Android and building one would be costly and time consuming.
Ask yourself who benefits from this...slower networking on commodity hardware. Then look at who had the most influence over ipv6 in the IETF, etc. No big surprises.
"The case-sensitive variant of APFS is both normalization-preserving and normalization-sensitive."

It should just always be form-preserving and form-INsensitive.

There is absolutely no reason to want the combination they give. It makes me suspect that they didn't bother separating case- and form-insensitivity, although I can't imagine why one wouldn't. It seems like.. a mistake. Someone misunderstood.
Is/ought fallacy?

It might be true that it's likely that directors of USPTO are "pro-patent", but OP's point was that the USPTO ought to be less "pro-patent".

Put another way, some government offices are charged with making more of an intrinsically good thing. "Justice", "Education". I expect the leaders of those departments to be pro-justice/education/whatever, just as I expect everyone else to be in favor of these intrinsic goods, insofar as we can agree on their goodness.

OTOH patents are not an intrinsically good thing. There is such a thing as too many patents, or patents issued too freely, or whatever.
