As a former H-1B, I think this is proof that you have a lot of fraud going on. Just like anything make sure you understand the data. Companies like Apple, Facebook, Google and yes startups can't get H-1B's because these other guys are abusing it. It's easy to fix if you have the right data.
Notifications and fitness tracking is more than enough. My phone hasn't had the ringer on in over 3 years now. At first I had a Pebble which is pretty much just notifications. Now I have a Gear S3 and now I'm using the fitness tracking all the time.
Why is the Apple Watch the catalyst for this versus any HR monitor or fitness tracker?
The current hotness is AI/machine learning/deep learning. Maybe after that it will be something like "quantum programming"?

64GB is huge. Many common phones only have 8gb. Inexpensive phones these days have 4GB. Super cheap phones for developing nations may try to sneak in with less. When your phone is full, you generally go to the installed app list, sort by size and kill the biggest thing you can't live without. Eventually you get to the point where you have to delete app A to run app B, and then delete B to run A. If your app is smaller, it'll stay installed longer.

The Russians are an interesting people, part Slav and part Viking. The latter I didn't know until I read a book on the Vikings. Rus was the term used for the Viking rulers in the early part of the millennium and the name stuck.
Don't buy v1 (or series 0 in this case) of Apple devices. The series 2 is a nice device. The battery goes for a couple days, it's fast enough, and the new beta OS also seems address many issues.

People forget how rough the original iPhone was around the edges.

Edit: fixed typo series 1/0
My point isn't "be as smart as me" and I do apologise if my tone is coming across that way. My point is "get educated on the issue" which seems reasonable to me (the tone of which I guess can also be misconstrued as negative, but I mean it in a constructive and positive manner).

The demoscene (and by some extension the classic gaming scene) has faced this from time-to-time. What's interesting is how many large volunteer efforts there are to save large chunks of the visual and audio output of that scene. There are places you can go and get literally hundreds of thousands of pieces of music.

Every one in a while a site will need to go down and somebody else seems to step in, mirror the content and start their own thing. Outside of the scene, there are sites with literally thousands of post-copyright mp3s from certain genres (classic jazz, 45s, etc.) so there's definitely a kind of appetite on the part of preservationists to catalog music.

There's almost no commercial side to the demoscene though, so I wonder if the commercial forces in the rest of the music world seem to prevent this kind of community building.
This. People blamed Apple for them running out of space on a 16 GB phone. I agree photos, videos, and music take up space, but the first iPhone had 4 GB of storage. The iPod Shuffle had 500 MB. Not exactly apples to apples comparison, but Snapchat used to be about 5 MB, and now it’s over 100!

If "this bug" is the ability to sort >2^30 elements on a 64-bit machine, this bug IS addressed by changing the index type.

Going to stay away from this, myself. For the same reason I eat oranges instead of drinking Sunny Delight and eat sausage rather than eat sausage-flavored potato chips.

Flavor is our evolved way of our bodies telling us what our body wants to eat. "Impossible burgers" are just a simulation of food.

Red has high contrast against the backgrounds of natural scenes (greens, blues, browns, etc) and is distinguishable in a variety of lighting conditions. For this reason it is one of the standard "warning" colors used by the natural world. Moreover, plants have co-opted red for positive signaling, too: many fruits and berries are red. If that weren't enough, many mammals (including humans) use red hues for signaling emotional and sexual states. Discriminating red hues was apparently important enough that primates "re-evolved" a red-detecting cone in the retina, despite ancestral mammals losing a similar one earlier in evolutionary history.
"major" games might be more accurate. Half the time I am looking at games on app stores it's about 20% novel and interesting games and 80% candy crush / war of the world's etc... clones.

And if you are going to count all those little clones, then you would also need to count the countless chess games, poker games, solitaire varients and everything else that is available for windows.

A friend in LA got my brother and I to try impossible burgers (he's pescatarian, I'm vegawarian): we agreed it was not that great.
It's really sad to me how terrible many accessibility devices are. I get that it's a small market, but it's almost like no one even cares enough to make a really excellent product for people with disabilities. Because there is a smaller selection and because people rely on this gear in ways able-bodied persons don't need to, it's even more important to get it right and make it affordable but high-quality. It saddens me that these people are so underserved due to capitalistic forces.
This is a neat comment, but as someone who's been to a couple different Momofuku places (incl. Ssam Bar) but never had that dish: how heavily spiced is it? The dish is inspired (simultaneously) by Mapo Tofu and Bolognese --- it's supposed to literally be Ssam Bar's take on Mapo Tofu --- which suggests to me that the quality of the pork is probably not all that important to the overall dish.

A good hamburger, on the other hand, relies almost entirely on the flavor of the beef.

There's an informal rule in cooking about how the simpler a dish is, the better your ingredients and technique have to be, because there's nothing to hide behind.
Look at Hypothesis, which does something better : it allows you to annotate your web pages.
I think he was perfectly civil, calling a popular idea "stupid" but without attacking GP personally.

The SPLC has other prize opinios, like how Pepe the Frog is a hate symbol and should be banned, and that Kekistan (a fictional national identity for "followers of kek", an ethostate comprised solely of "oppressed Kekistanis") is an alt-right stronghold, filled to the brim with white supremacist Nazi's. (I would describe it as a parody of identitarianism and social justice causes, "Reparations for Kekistan!", with some trolling aimed at SJW's and Nazi's alike by using a Nazi-eqsue green flag while wielding the language of Palestine supporters.)

Sargon of Akkad made some videos about them, I think they're rather good though I don't really enjoy his rather smug presentation. There's also a 3 year old expose by John Birch, they seem to have a long history of brandishing political opponents and those who discuss them as "criminally hateful".
A parallel would be to have apple watches sync with 'droids..
It's an accountability mechanism. It reminds you to get up and move, reminds you that you need to hit your goals, etc.

Note that the differences between Berkshire A and B aren't that great. B's have about 1/6 the relative voting rights per dollar of value. I used to look at arbitraging the A shares into B shares when the relative values were attractive, and voting rights never mattered because I wanted the guy running it to have that power.

But maybe that's wrong. I like what the S&P is doing here and maybe they should drop the hammer on GOOG and BRK too. And I say this as someone who has about 2/3s of my net worth in BRK.

I'm not a watch wearer, so I don't plan to buy one. However, I thought if I DID (or if I got one as a gift), I would probably want an Apple Watch. So Apple has convinced me there. Do others feel similar?
You should've stopped at the first "and". Advocating for vigilante justice helps solve no problems.
Really? That seems highly unlikely, and doesn't match with any of the speed testing I've done.

When you get down to it, an ObjC message send performs a superset of the work of a C++ virtual call. A C++ virtual call gets the vtable pointer from the object, indexes into that table by a constant offset, loads the function pointer at that offset, and calls it. An ObjC message send gets the class pointer from the object, indexes into that table by a constant offset, loads the method cache information at that index, uses the selector to look up the entry in the cache's hash table, and then if all goes well, it loads the function pointer from the table and jumps to it.
There is also liquidation.
So you just CPU-rasterize out to a buffer, and blit it to the screen. After the initial render, it's equivalent to the PNG. The application essentially decompresses its assets on launch.
Pretty much.

Is MSG safe to eat?

FDA considers the addition of MSG to foods to be “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS).

What drives me nuts is that the Nutrition Information has metric units but the front of the package may not (e.g. "One Quart (32 oz)" but no liter equivalent printed).

Worse is that many products have bogus information. I'm not talking just about the inexactness of the methods, but in many cases the macronutrient math doesn't add up.

Total calories should be about (protein + carb)x4 + (fat)x9. Too often, it isn't close. I was comparing two versions within a product line yesterday (chili with beans vs without beans), and the calorie count for one mismatched the macronutrient breakdown by almost 10%.
Not sure if the Apple watches do the same, but the Garmin watches have a "Move!" reminder plus easy-to-configure step and stair goals, and make your progress obvious. I'm guessing it's more due to those types of little pokes throughout the day than parent actually forgetting to hit the gym every morning.
There was definitely a recent boom in fintech / high-frequency trading.
As a counter point, I'm still using my first gen (not even Series 1!) Apple Watch after 2 years and it runs well enough for my uses. I would likely use Siri more if it was more responsive, but I use the notifications, Now Playing view, activity tracking and more all the time and it is really nice.
I can draw the future stock market price of many companies with pretty high confidence as long as you grant me the permission to not label the axis. Turns out not to be very useful.
The last three paragraphs of this article are a bit awkward.
To paraphrase Bill Gates, that's like measuring an aircraft designers skill based on the final weight of the aircraft.

Any idiot can create something bloated and complex, creating something small and simple requires much more effort.
I don't think so. As was mentioned, a lot of people didn't have Macs so it took iTunes on Windows to increase sales. A lot of people have iPhones. Enough, that Apple doesn't have to care about 'droids.
On the contrary. I'd say we're the sane ones (note that I'm part of that crew). I'm just realistic that we're a tiny minority. Most people don't understand the topic or care to do any of that. Most people also blindly copy paste curl scripts into sudo bash.
There are many liquidations that pay out significant amounts to shareholders.
Just going to make a few assumptions. Apple has a gamification system similar to fitbit. You complete rings (goals) by walking, standing up and exercising. Except you are competing against yourself and they prompt you with daily reminders / notifications. Being that Apple Watch is more than a notification system, it's a bit more difficult to ignore. Let's say you're on a 80 day streak completing 100% of your goals of standing up, exercising and walking. You'll want to keep going. At 24 hour hackathon, there was someone trying to keep their streak up so they ended up leaving to jog around the block to complete their daily activity.

Of course, this isn't to say that it can't be possible without the Apple Watch. It's just that it's more difficult to ignore.
"""One of her earliest investors, Timothy Draper, was an old neighbor from childhood. Another, Don Lucas, was the friend of her father's college classmate. (Lucas brought on Oracle founder Lawrence Ellison, according to The Times.)

Holmes' father's family "moved in powerful circles," and he himself is a longtime public servant who held "a number of senior government positions in Washington," Abelson and Creswell report. Her mother was a congressional aide.

But despite those Washington connections, The Times report suggests that Theranos' powerful board — which includes two former senators and two former Secretaries of State — is at least in large part a credit to Holmes' power of persuasion.

Except not really, because the installed base of Macs at the time was a few million, while the iPhone installed base is around a billion. Being Mac-only in the early 2000s was orders of magnitude more limiting to potential sales than being iPhone-only today.
Yes, why don't we overlay that map of cancer clusters [0] with a map of nuclear reactors. [1]

This is what we get: http://imgur.com/a/VzgMF

Now, I'm no statistician, but to me, it looks like there is... No correlation between the two. Maybe the mundane, unsexy explanation in the article, citing lifestyle choices, smoking, alcoholism, access to healthcare, and poverty as the main factors influencing cancer death.

Cancer valley running through Kentucky has more to do with bourbon, then its non-existent nuclear reactors (It has an enrichment facility in its western part, but that's not where the cancer deaths are).

In short, this is FUD.

I've said it a few times when the topic comes up but one of the best features is the magnetic milanese loop. For a watch that typically needs to be taken off once a day for charging (arguably every two days) the ease of taking off and putting on a magnetic milanese loop makes the pain disappear. It's no more effort than yanking your phone out of your pocket to stick it on the charger.

Other things that makes the watch great - vibration alarm wakes me without fail while allowing my partner remain asleep, remotely turn off my phone alarm without getting out of bed (though that does lead to more snoozing...), remotely ping my phone when I've left it somewhere, remotely control my music without my phone including pushing the audio to Airplay, messaging via dictation which seems more accurate than my phone. One that I miss but can't use any more because I switched banks - Apple Pay. You look like a bell-end doing it but it felt like the future.

The sapphire screen seems legit because I've belted the watch face into stone and steel surfaces without a single mark showing up. The stainless steel casing also seems more durable than I expected - not a single permanent mark that I can see...perhaps some micro abrasions. The heart rate monitor casing seems to be the weak point - it has quite a few scratches.

You can only use the Apple Watch if you have an iPhone.
Neato, from a 'user' perspective how is it? Does it feel or work any different to a usual tooth?
Yes and no. My response to that article is "The more things change, the more they stay the same." There is no steam roller. The fundamentals are not changing. So much touted (even here on HN) as new and innovative are little more than re-hashed versions of what we were already using 5, 10, 20, 30 years ago, just prettier. Sure the syntax is always changing a little, and the frameworks and tools are evolving, but at a fundamental level the job of a programmer is little different now than it was in any of those eras. I have no doubt that a competent programmer from then, if picked up and plopped in front of a MacBook in 2017 could do a little reading up and perform proficiently in most programming jobs today. Probably more proficient because 1. they've seen it all before including the bugs and pitfalls and 2. I'd argue programming is much easier today than it ever has been.

EDIT: I swear I did not read the top comment in the (newly) linked HN discussion of that article before I wrote my response. I agree completely.

We don't have too. The sewing machine was invented a hundred years ago and it's inventors factory was burnt down and he was chased out of town. But everyone eventually came around. Fast. Same goes for anything else. Dumb people will do dumb things. Our professional reactor class will react for their upvotes/likes/retweets and viewcounts. But progress doesn't give a shit as the sewing machine tells us.
I poorly chose my examples. There is a finite number of rules so for each step there is a finite number of possibilities.

For integers for instance, the rule is in their definition, and there is only one. 2 is 1+1, 5 is 4+1 and so on.

Not really. The counter-example being expansion of factors.

You know that (bad) old joke about Mexican food and how it's just beans, cheese, and tortillas in different arrangements? Software development is a lot like that. The same concepts float around and get recycled and repackaged into different formats. So the maxim about "plus ça change" is doubly true.

It's important to understand this though, because otherwise you just get bogged down in the miasma of "branding" of languages, frameworks, etc. Don't freak out about Ruby on Rails versus whatever, just understand the concerns addressed by these tools and how their approaches differ, and why those approaches might be good or bad in different situations.

It doesn't matter if Gulp is marginally better than Grunt, because they're both just APIs for running tasks. If you have some tasks, and they run, the delta between the task runner you use and the task runner you could be using is not important. Learning a new web framework (either in the sense of "new to you" or "the hot new thing") is not the same thing as getting better, however you define better.
Natural gas will be cheaper than renewables + utility scale battery storage for only so long; as soon as natural gas spot market prices spike, renewables and storage are deployed, creating a downward price spiral, which natural gas generators can only defend against for so long.

> I beg to differ. C was a fairly obscure language until MS-DOS came out.

On the early days of DOS, what was used the most was IBM-BASIC (and GW-BASIC) for users, assembler for games like Alley Cat, IBM LOGO for teaching, some games were made on FIG-FORTH even

Then borland brought Turbo Pascal which was hugely popular together with MS QuickBasic.

Meanwhile, and we're at 1986-7, a good amount of software was already made for the Unices, in C. I don't think anyone was doing C for DOS back then. My grandpa -a PC nerd- had a huge (200+) collection of diskettes around that era, which now I own, there are all sorts of compilers for the above languages, plus Fortran, Clipper, etc; but no C compiler. Even though he owned the K&R book.

First time i saw use of C on the DOS world was with Borland Turbo C++.
