Oh, yes, if there's a way to signal a scroll attempt to the application then it's totally doable.

Is this the "Scroll alternate screen" checkbox? I believe that just controls the scroll wheel, and makes it not do native scrolling and instead just send a page-up or something. If so, then non-native scrolling is definitely possible ... but it's already possible if you run screen or tmux instead of mosh. (Which is what I do, and it works fine for me, in part because I learned how to use screen's scrollback even before mosh existed.) I can see the argument for exposing this with better keyboard shortcuts than screen's inscrutable ones, but my impression is that people mostly want native scrolling so they can, e.g., drag in the terminal UI to copy and paste a large amount of text. You can't do that with non-native scrollback, since the text isn't all contiguous in the terminal window.

I looked at the Four Factors Fair Use instead of Terms of Service because the twitter image of the Zillow cease & desist letter[1] mentioned it in their arguments.

Also, one can use Zillow without ever clicking "I Agree" to a ToS so I'm not sure if that's even contractually binding or has been tested in court.

The stasi was a totalitarian state. And in some respects, the mass surveillance system is more extensive now than under the stasi. Being better than the stasi is a pretty low bar to beat.

>We voluntarily exchange some individual rights for collective security and prosperity all the time.

We don't voluntarily exchange it.

You have a right to leave the protection of the state if you don't want to have any of your rights violated. That doesn't imply that we voluntarily submit to laws infringing on our rights.

We have an inherent right to be in our own country without having our rights violated.
Zillow is almost certainly not granted an exclusive license. Listing photos are posted on many sites simultaneously.

For example, this is the first listing I clicked on in Zillow. Immediately found the same listing on Redfin with the same photo watermarked by a 3rd party.

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/240-Centre-St-New-York-NY...

https://www.redfin.com/NY/New-York/240-Centre-St-10013/home/...

I'm sure it's on various other MLS sites with photos as well. The real copyright holder is most likely the listing agent or possibly even the photographer, and chances are they have no desire to send C&D notices because "any publicity is good publicity."

Apple's ARKit is the result of work going back to 2003 by Metaio, a leading AR SDK vendor that spun out of Volkswagen. Apple acquired Metaio in 2015 and shuttered operations, including Metaio's popular AR conference [1].

Google Tango emerged out of Google Advanced Technology and Project Group (ATAP) in 2015 after a 2 year incubation period [2].

Both do a great job of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) - the foundational tech needed for AR applications. ARKit is tied to development for iOS applications and form factors - all handheld at the moment. Tango is tied to development for Android applications and Asus/Lenovo phablets - all handheld at the moment. This tech isn't new, but Apple and Google and bringing it to the masses, whereas it had mainly been confined to niche advertising uses previously.

The author glossed over many of the smaller vendors that have been doing AR SDKs and cloud services for years. Also skipped over Microsoft's play in this market, which currently revolves around PTC Vuforia and Unity development of Windows 10 AR apps for Hololens.

Here's an overview of where the players in the AR development solutions market have plays:

If they ask you can tell them, but I don't think it really matters. Your boss's job is to find your replacement, that is what he is paid for (or the founder, or whoever you report to). That is why they are paid the big bucks, :) to deal with issues like this.
It is reasonable to have arguments about whether or not certain wars were fought of fossil fuels. This is not the case for any other industry I am aware of. When pressed I could not categorically refute those claims and there is at least some shady evidence pinning some of our responsibility for violence in Iraq on oil companies.

This is not a stance I personally hold or reject, but there are many with strong convictions about at least some evidence with regards to this. These people cannot easily be dismissed as tinfoil hatter.

If true the most certainly they should be accountable for the cost of military action and life lost. If false then I don't know how to prove it, proving negatives and all that.
I'm planning to buy a Microsoft Surface Pro because Android and iOS tablets have very limited Operating Systems. So I think that some of this changes go in the right direction, for tablets at least.

On long trips, to Japan or the USA, I usually travel with an iPad and a Macbook (1 or 2 phones, 2 digital cameras). It has worked well. Next time I'm trying to get around with just one device that allows me to move around the city with all the information I need, and that I can use to do some more advanced stuff when I get to the hotel (Classify pictures and videos, edit and process them, upload them to Google Pictures/Facebook/...). Let's see how that goes.

I understand that Apple doesn't want to scare current customers offering something that they don't need/want. But I need it now. :)
Point, but it may end up as an SLR vs. phone cam thing.

You won't get native scrollback with server-side buffering. Precisely because it's scrollback that's off the screen, there's no way to send ANSI escape sequences to edit it after the fact; it has to actually be written to the screen and then scrolled off. So you can't really do anything where you transmit the current screen at higher priority and scrollback at lower priority. (Unless you want to do something where mosh will write out scrollback when it receives it and then write the actual current screen below it, but I bet that will cause a ton of flicker.)

You can probably do some things to heuristically improve scrollback, e.g., telling the terminal sync thing to sync 1000 lines of scrollback if the connection seems good and only the current screen if it seems poor. You won't get reliable scrollback but maybe it's good enough.

Thanks for the non-paywall link! It looks like a useful part of a broader analysis (and maybe more states should require the collection of hours worked data).

If it isn't the same people being employed at higher wages, it is still interesting that a sufficiently large pool of more skilled workers exists to take those jobs.

I wish they did the same all wage levels analysis for all workers that they did for the restaurant industry. Without that analysis it isn't clear if the net zero overall effect applies broadly. If it does, that would seem to indicate that wages in general are being held artificially low due to the availability of low wage labor.

Also, since it is a significant increase in a relatively short time, I wonder if the results of the change have stabilized yet. Hopefully they will repeat the analysis in the future.

It is interesting that one of the tests they thought might show a difference ended up failing their falsification test. I wonder what is going on there.

Since housing rental prices have been going up rapidly in Seattle, I wonder if their result could be explained by a sufficient number of low wage workers fleeing the Seattle area and moving to other parts of Washington (or a slower influx of new low wage workers than previously). Maybe something else to look into for someone who knows where to find that kind of data (if it is gathered).

Honestly I would tell them that you're quitting to start a business, but this may depend on your relationship with the manager. You may be able to work something out where you're working part-time, taking a leave of absence or potentially become an early customer.

5. on a different newer device, new codecs
6. indoor maps, in apple maps
7. no airplay2 yet.
8. tweaked App store layout (for the record, new website design is not a feature. A new _store_ website design is even less than that)
9. All your SMS's are automatically copied to Apple computers for surveillance or safe keeping, one or the other
10. The phone will now be able to delete apps for you without your permissions. Purge.
11. Your phone will prompt you to share your Wifi password when another iPhone tries to access your WiFi network.

9 Ways to Get Better at Writing
I've had the solution to this for like twenty years. I don't have the time or inclination to do it.

Automate MLM (Multi-Level Marketing), six or more levels deep.

"Affiliate Program" six or more levels (degrees of separation) to make a word-of-mouth network that rewards people for making connections between sellers and customers. Public all the data. Self-reinforcing, self-stabilizing.

I have no idea why no one has done this before. To me it is blindingly obvious.

You could start tomorrow and eat Amazon's lunch within the year. Do it right and nothing could stop you, no one could even begin to compete thanks to Metcalfe's law. (In other words, if someone could do a better job than you the correct thing to do would be to quit and join their network. In other words, there is a strange attractor that results in automatic partition healing.)

Blah blah blah yadda yadda waves hands

I'll leave the details as the proverbial "exercise for the reader".
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as a startup your metrics, learnings, and progress grows every single day, which means that applying early puts you at a disadvantage from your future self, let alone from competing companies, to get into one of those 400 interview spots. YC doesn't have the time and resources to re-review 7000 applications over and over again. If you re-submit later in this application cycle, you may not get reviewed again (I've regretted submitting early in the past, after our updated video with co-founders, vs solo founder, didn't get viewed at all.) Thus even with months of application time, it still makes sense for applicants to wait until the last moment to submit. Again, comment if you know more.

Is rolling admissions an idea worth trying out for YC - all teams start at the same time, but interviewing and admission decisions don't have to?
As engineers and designers, we should side with her on this one. The core conceit of McMansion Hell is that these are this homes built without experts, particularly architects (but any kind of designer is absent from them). These are often big, expensive homes, where the builder and the buyer thought they didn't need the help of an actual professional.

This isn't just an American thing, but it seems particularly bad here. People spend a lot of money on homes, but try to cheap out as much as possible in expertise. No architects, no designers for the interior, no landscape architects for the yard (many greenfield McMansions are delivered with zero landscaping!) and even sometimes skipping electricians and other skilled tradesmen for upgrades and additions.

Regular affiliate networks (which can be viewed as 1-level MLM networks) have been around for over 20 years and are a very mature market.

Why would making this 6-deep make things any better?

Amazon's view of the world is "Your margin is my opportunity". They would certainly relish the kind of margins required to sustain a 6-level deep MLM scheme.
yeah, it is probably cheaper to just get your own hydroponic system and it can be pretty much automated too.
They are not trying to supplement 100% of a veg diet. Far more interesting would be to understand what the hurdle rate is for a given grocer (ie the sell-through per week per square foot of retail space that they require to keep an item in stock). If this device can produce good basil for 30% less than that hurdle rate, grocers will very likely be interested.
