Wild bets on what? That people would buy a good smartphone?

That's not exactly Tesla (the inventor, not the company) territory, bet-wise.

Phones were one of the hottest markets already -- and they would have only gotten smarter, iPhone or not. The iPhone just brought lots of smartness and polish in concentrated form all at once -- it took around 3 years for competitors to catch up (Android wasn't released for another full year), and I guess it would have taken them like 5-6 years or so to put it all together (or course with less panache) if they iPhone had not existed at all. But still it was no wild bet (except in daring to deal with the telcos -- that was a big bet and took balls).

So, in 2017, what exactly product would you think Apple should introduce as a bet?
Many of these points apply to socialized medicine as well. Take Germany for example:

- "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"; less patients wait until pain is unbearable and as a result doctors are inundated a lot of mildly sick people (who probably didn't need a doctor).

- Treating symptoms instead of the underlying cause is easier for the doctor who is inundated with people that have mild sniffles and aches.

Hence, a lot of my German friends were prescribed "spa time" in the hopes that it would clear itself up before getting a "real" prescription if spa time didn't work.

What are you trying to say here? That if a fact (such as that a particular field spins tenuous research into facts - let's assume that's a fact) happens to lead us to a conclusion we don't like, we should 'be careful' and pretend the fact is untrue? That's obviously horrifically unscientific.

Or is this the point you are making, and you are expressing a climate-change-denying position, really obtusely? If so, it's on you to show climate science is 'spinning tenuous research into facts'.

I tried finding the lines of code in each language with cloc. C/C++ Header contains a sum of C and CPP header files.

> suggest that autopilot is safer than a human driver.

This is what is misleading in my opinion. The study says that Tesla's assistive technology works, that is they assist humans to make driving safer. All driving assistance technologies satisfy this.

In other words

Autopilot + human is better than a human.

Then why is the furore about Tesla? Because they named it autopilot and call it safer than a human.
To say autopilot is safer than a human seems to imply that autopilot alone reply be better than a human driver.

Maybe you're smart enough to see this, but as is evident, many believe that autopilot alone is better than a human driver.
I think that titanium has a comparable hardness to stainless steel (6.0 vs 5.5-6.3 on the Mohs scale).
After being a user of languages for a long time, writing my own LISP was the experience of leaving Platons cave and seeing what the thing I use daily really is made of. What is "if"? What is a boolean, a variable, a function?

It's a beautiful thing. I wish I would never have to climb down into the cave (languages with more advanced parsers) again.
Purchasing the car is an information intensive process, there are many opportunities to educate the consumer besides seeing a marketing video, for example: before checkout process, post-purchase communication, before you using the feature the tablet can have a mandatory information session, persistent reminders later during day-to-day use, etc, etc.

Negligence is already something the courts are well suited to handle. Tesla already has a big incentive to do this well. I don't think they are necessarily negligent here for having marketing material which doesn't 100% cover real world usage. If that was ALL the information customers received I would...but I highly doubt that's the case.

I also take issue with the autopilot name as well, but I do think it's something that can be effectively communicated elsewhere with a product like this - where it really isn't that big of a deal. It is not a large barrier to communicate the immature state of the software and the limited current use-cases to each buyer beforehand regardless of branding.
HOW LOAN WORKS
Oh, you missed that? Medium went on a whole crusade against ad-supported content and then built a metered paywall and are sharing that revenue with the authors.

I think it's good and could tell you a lot more about it because I've written for their new program and had one of the first publications to join.
Once upon a time Wifi sounded dumb. It isn't that difficult to cable ethernet, and the performance is better with much less latency. The same goes for things like AirPlay audio and video.

Putting them everywhere, like the kitchen counter, home and office desks, car and bedside table would really lengthen the lives of phone batteries. If it really took only a second for people to do the equivalent of plugging in their phone they'd almost always leave them charging.

Isn't it basically an Atom alternative? What makes it, and not Atom, an IDE rather than 'augmented text editor', to borrow GP's phrasing?
The suggested alternative is to use passcodes, but then there's no way to unlock your phone without making the unlock code plainly visible.

So a lot of times I show my phone to my friends when they ask about the time or if I get a quick message I want to show them on the notifications screen. With Face ID, would this trigger a wrong face recognition? If so, I can see this potentially locking me out as I rarely use my phone when I'm out with groups of people. Touch ID worked a lot better in terms of fine grain control, so this move to Face ID makes me wonder how many different edge cases were considered in this design decision.
IMO it's purely because Android as OS has not tapped into the UX that most iPhone users enjoy. So when replacement time comes around every couple years, users think why not get the new iPhone even though it didn't change much from my old one. My thought is most iPhone users would and maybe have considered switching but really enjoy the UX familiarity/simplicity of iPhone.

This is actually a conversation I have over and over with friends, family and coworkers. The OS switching cost/risks are too high although most iPhone users know the top Android devices are typically better than the iPhone the risk of not liking the OS experience is too high compared to the reward of taking slightly better photos or bigger screen or whatever Android does now that iPhone won't until XI
> allowed frequencies vary a lot from country to country

They do, but a few "roaming" bands are well-supported worlwide, mostly aside from the Americas and especially the US

* LTE bands 1 and 3 will cover Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania, but North and Latin america use LTE bands 2 and 4 instead.

* band 7 is well supported in latin america, europe, asia, oceania and canada but not africa or the US

* band 28 is well supported in latin america, asia and oceania but not NA, europe or africa

7 and 28 are considered the best "global roaming" bands right now, and 1 and 3 ideal for ITU 1 and 3 (basically anywhere outside the americas)
I think somewhere along the way work on search just devolved into handling millions of queries at a time. It could have been so much better.

If you ask a "search expert" today what's he is trying to fix, he will say something related to scaling.

If you asked an expert in the 80's or 90's they would talk about query complexity and NLP i.e. Who were the four semi-finalists of last years Wimbledon? And you would get back 4 names.

Today you will get back a result saying 50 million pages were found in 1 second. The page may or may not contain the 4 names if you wade through 17 popups. Nobody questions how brainless this is.
Based on the white paper, "Blueborne" is really a collection of distinct vulnerabilities in various implementations of the Bluetooth protocol. This is in contrast to something like the 'Over the air' vulnerability (https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2017/04/over-air-expl...), which was a bug in the firmware shared by Android and iOS.
And perhaps call it "image generator" rather than "wallpaper generator". I thought it was going to do something special that was suited specifically suited for a wallpaper.
If this is true, then require looking directly into the camera is useless. Border agent could simply put a pair of sunglasses on you and unlock your phone easily.

As a DC-area resident and frequent reader of the Washington Post, the biggest problem with their comments section is the commenters. I'm not sure how this helps.
I hate dishonest marketing as much as the next person but I don't think it's a stretch to say that there is nothing wrong with telling a good story about a product. And of course, telling that story means de-emphasizing unpleasant tradeoffs, and emphasizing pleasant ones. The ultimate concise version of this would be a list of features. That wouldn't be nearly as exciting or informative, would it? (I recognize that you did not personally advocate the position you relayed)
This is a pretty phone -- but I really wish they'd make a smaller phone around the size of the 5S with the option to change the resolution (e.g. LittleBrother in Cydia).

My 5S is slowly dying -- but I can't find a good replacement (new or used) that can be jailbroken. For me its the perfect phone, but I'm an extremely light phone user (email, phone, imessage, Simon Tatham's Net and Galaxy puzzles).

I guess I was hoping that they'd update the SE.

Well, "beg the question" is a translation from latin - petitio principii - so pedants could say it isn't from your native language (unless you meant latin).

Language evolves - things that start out as misunderstandings or errors become informal usage, then dominant usage, then the correct way.

Others stay misunderstandings or errors.

It pays to learn the correct way so you sound educated as you speak, and so other educated people don't automatically discount what you say, but there's little benefit in attempting to correct others.

That said, mis-using erudite words or phrases spoils the effect.
> Toward the end of the book, Harris talks about how being zen is great, but also not terribly effective in the modern world, specifically in the modern workplace. So it's ok to be chill about some things, but there are other things you absolutely can and should get mad about. Otherwise, you're not living your life, you're just being a zombie.

I admit my exposure to Zen is as an interested outsider and dabbler/dilettante, not as a practitioner, but this seems to betray a significant, fundamental misunderstanding of Zen.

Unless we're just using "zen" as a colloquial synonym for "hella chill".

How does it work around sunglasses if Apple also said you have to have your eyes open?
but most safety devices are explicitly for when conditions are not their best and sadly Autopilot doesn't function in those bad conditions. Its a fair weather driver assistant.

His moral obligation is to admit its limitations instead of grand standing on what it might do one day and dancing around with selected statistics.

the simple fact is, it failed and will continue to do so. they have made some technology choices they may not be able to surmount not matter how much noise they generate or their sycophants generate.

the promise of level 4 and 5 autonomous driving is so great that we cannot afford to have it damaged in the public eye
The NHTSA found a 40% safety improvement when comparing Teslas with Autopilot to Teslas without. I wouldn't put a huge amount of stock in the exact number, but because one group never uses Autopilot and the other offers a realistic view of when people actually do use Autopilot, it seems like enough to say "Yes, Autopilot makes cars safer in aggregate."
It's special in that it makes lots of money unlike really just about every other smartwatch.
I think phones are "done" in the same way laptops are "done" -- the form factor is established, and now it's about incremental improvements like better screens, better cameras, faster processors, AR, etc.

Unless someone invents a phone screen that can roll up like a piece of paper, I think phones are going to look the same for a long time.

I've traveled a lot too, and haven't ever had things stolen. But I know people who have. One of my friends had his iphone in a waterproof protector strapped around his neck for Songkram in Bangkok, and someone in the crowd walked right up behind him with a scissors and cut the string and ran off . He had a second phone stolen shortly after. Luckily he works in travel insurance and was a big believer, so everything was fully insured! Maybe the bad stories just stick out and are the exception not the rule.
What if Tesla released autopilot as a completely passive accident prevention driving assist?

Tesla seems to be allowing only two options - one with no driving assistance, and one where they can call it autonomous.
Pretty much all professionally recorded content pays attention to safe zones, and has done so since the CRT days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_area_(television)

Phones historically have been weird for not cutting off part of the image that CRTs and even flat screen TVs have been known to do.
iPhones are bigger and have more power: the chip in the Apple Watch might be different. It's just an hypothesis.
Agreed completely. I hope I'm never in a situation where I'm forced to use my face or fingers as a password.
They have enough differences.

I've only known one set of identical twins, back in high school, and at first I thought they looked the same. After a while, however, you can recognize the differences. I suspect a phone has enough data points that it sees them as different people.
It's good the screen extends around the sensors. People will figure out better way to use it, or you might say, work around it.
Not if you don't want the court to have access to your phone. Your wife can legally stay silent on your behave in the US. Girlfriend, not so much.
Their job is to sell. They want everyone watching to understand exactly what they mean.

For what it's worth, I would say that Face ID isn't quite a username either. Once known, anyone can reproduce a username. I can't easily recreate your face even if I know you well. That would require an extra set of skills/equipment. The same argument goes for Touch ID.
Unlocking your phone with face/finger prints is for many people much better than their 1234 pin.

As far as I understand, the face unlock follows the same rules as touch, where <48hrs of no use requires the PIN/password, and the newly announced 5 tap the power button to trigger the PIN/password requirement.
This cognitive dissonance comes from belief in a just, lawful, reasonable world. The sad fact is that the golden rule holds true - the people with the gold make the rules.

It's why a bank getting defrauded by someone opening an account in your name is not the bank's problem, but your problem.

Do you have access to the actual data you worked with ? I personally attempted to study real world data to get an idea of the actual elasticity of basic products (gas, real estate, tobacco) and I've never found a single relevant measurement. I'd be really interested to see a real life example of this phenomenon.
If you look at that users other comments it's pretty clear he's a quite shallow troll; he has a cut-and-paste inflammatory line that he comments in a lot of threads.

Is there a bug in the submission system?
Agreed. I'd want the phone to look "more asleep" when locked, e.g. a dimmed or vignetted background photo which would pop to life when unlocked.
It's a separate program, it's not part of init.
Does a DAC even matter? Would love to see blind test showing they make a difference.
All of this debate is pretty irrelevant since refusal to unlock a phone is reason for police to hold you indefinitely until you unlock it. It's a misconception that locking with a passcode means you've "defeated" the police somehow. Most officers probably won't deal with the hassle, but if the officer is in a particularly bad mood or if they have reason to suspect you actually do have something incriminating, the officer will just hand it back to you and tell you to unlock it, and if you don't, to the holding cell you go.

That's what the marketing material says. I'd like to wait for some real world tests to determine if this works anywhere near as well as they say it does. My intuition says not, but I'd like to be surprised.

> A lot of these people are simply hopeless.

I can certainly understand his motives: being in jail for 6 months means you have safe housing for 6 months, don't need to scrape together money for food in that time and if you end up in a jail not run by a disgrace like Arpaio or by a greedy corporation you have the chance to receive some medical care.

The core problem is that the hopelessness that is driving people to drugs in the first place won't be gone. The rust belt jobs won't come back, and either politicians find an alternative or they're going to have a drug pandemic more sooner than later.

> To your point of state-provided heroin, I hope that more conclusive data comes out about safe injection sites soon.

In Germany we call them "Druckräume". Effective at keeping needles off public spaces and getting help for ODed people, but I don't know if there's anything in English about them.
They'd have to be 3d faces. Not impossible. Maybe flexible displays will finally take off to facilitate hacking these things.
Yet they behave like a password.

> DNS is supposed to be reliable.

UDP does not strike me as a reliable protocol.

Tthe glibc behavior is the standard on Linux, and FreeBSD (I don't know about the other BSDs) has the same behavior IIRC.

Honestly the video producers are already used to this bullshit, and have recorded expecting it already. Why? Tube TV. Just when I thought we were going to be able to kiss overscan-safe area goodbye (I mean it's 2017 come /on/), we now have to keep it. Maybe it'll be called "funky phone safe area" now.
> biometric data is a username/id.

> why do companies insist on getting this shit backwards?

They don't have it backwards, but they're also simplifying when they say it's your password. In the presentation they actually say specifically that there's a chance that someone else can unlock your phone (1 in 50'000 for fingerprint, and supposedly 1 in 1'000'000 for Face ID, given that you don't have a twin).

Reality is that it's somewhere in between. A fingerprint sensor or face reader will keep casual snoopers - and most people who find your phone on the street - out. That's all that matters for most people. It's not a username. It's at least moderately hard for someone to duplicate, and it's not something you'd actively share with someone. It's not as safe as a password, but Apple isn't trying to claim that either.

I think it's a good idea to avoid false dichotomy here. Biometrics is biometrics. It should be treated as distinct from passwords or usernames.
What a bunch of nonsense. Reading out RAM states and keystrokes from one room over is already quite a feat, to read RAM states or keystrokes from 'blocks away' is science fiction and if it could be done would be news to me.

Yes, it is possible to recreate the contents of screens from quite far away, it is possible to piece together a lot of data from magnetic fields leaking from computers but this is not simple nor something that easily lends itself to longer distances.

In short, the reason nobody talks about those tools is because they don't exist.
