Well done, YC!
Well, there is that. Maybe reality is that no set of security practices can ever secure PII. If so, that's an even bigger problem than lackadaisical firms like Equifax.

But I think higher expectations, helped along with civil legal machinery that's likely to mete out meaningful punishment, would move us faster to finding out whether the problems are mostly just sloppy practice (which responds to economic penalties) or whether they're more fundamental and need a different fix.
I was an english major and took an intro to linguistics class. On the first day the prof had us introduce ourselves and based on the accent he guessed where we were from down to a part of the state. I don't remember much of anything from that class but that was pretty cool.
If you're familiar nodejs then http://apiaxle.com/ might be an option.

Redhat's offering is https://www.3scale.net/ which is expensive but comes with end-user registration and billing.

We (https://geocoder.opencagedata.com/) went with kong and I know others in the 100s of million requests/day who use it. Hardware requirements are tiny. You will have to take care of redundancy yourself though (Postgres multimaster or Cassandra data store). Kong doesn't give you per-user metrics: in its datastore it keeps a count that resets every period (e.g. every day). So you will have to use one the logging plugins (can be text-file even) and query a separate system. We don't like the error pages: The HTTP codes and content are fine, but you can't for example return a XML data structure, so it lacks customization. That said with apiaxle and kong open source we could change it if we want. Support was great and the lua code is well written and documented.
> going to be faster

Fast is not the end goal.
First, I must compose the statement: I used the phrase "materialism" in a real, materialist sense. I didn't mean communism, although that is a standing wave in a social context, but more that the material value of the effort is only gained by way of the process; i.e. its only for fun, yo. I'm no communist.

And .. 'wrong'?

Really?

Perhaps it was the social angle, which makes this relevant?

I'm not really wrong, until my friends and enemies tell me I am wrong .. until them, I'm just .. 'passively disengaged from the dialect' .. or, is it not so?

I totally get you on the philosophy vs. technology approach, though, and I acknowledge (comrade) your identification with my desire to actually bend that particular event horizon.
I'm in the same boat.

I want one... but I just can't bring myself to get one because of what people I know have said.
Underwater + cellular is pretty impressive. The extra sensors + medical algos are what is really going to win in the long run though. Once doctors start prescribing Apple Watches things will really start to takeoff.
> you still have the choice to not sign up for a Google account or a Facebook account

Unless you're careful to guard against it, you're loading up Facebook and Google's trackers on just about every site you visit. Registering for an account is not a prerequisite for them to build a profile on you.
Seems like the lack of SIM also means no choice of carrier - the slide only showed 9 or 10 carriers in just a handful of countries where that will work.
Last week I was sitting in an undergraduate lecture hall with hundreds of students. I looked back at their laptops and it was a sea of Apple logos.

We've traded one monopoly for another.
How much you got?
It's a nice to have for me. But with cellular that completely changes. Now my phone will be the optional unit, and my watch a must.
From man page of readahead(2), "readahead() blocks until the specified data has been read." The other one claims async functionality. But says it is not reliable.

An idea for how it could be implemented in linux: kernel would offer a new kind of file descriptor. It would have a limited, in-kernel buffer, much like a socket has an arrival space. Once you have it, call something like,

newkind_page_copy(newkind_fd, disk_fd, page_count, timeout)

Timeout could be unlimited.

The buffer would behave like socket for the purpose of the read and error lists in select/poll/epoll. If you closed either descriptor, it goes to error-state. Within the kernel, it would watch real_file_fd, using code to similar to whatever is underneath inotify. Like inotify, this would not work for NFS.
Particularly if NLP (and AI assistants) finally start to work well. There is very little one does on phone that could not be performed with voice.
Would you mind enlightening me what exactly this implies?
Tesla isn't immune from that problem, charger degradation has been affecting the supercharger network for a while now.

To me, when EVs are ready for mainstream use, the charging infrastructure will be there. I got a Volt because unless tying yourself to a supercharger is an option, or you own your home and can install an L2 charger, the infrastructure isn't yet where it needs to be for mainstream adoption

I think this product has the potential to reduce the distracting habits that we have with our phones while we're out and about while still keeping us connected.

You can finally leave your phone at home in more scenarios.
I had never considered an Apple Watch. I believed it to be too costly for what it offered. The selling point today was their heart study with Stanford and that the watch will detect irregular heartbeats. I'm genetically predisposed to atrial fibrillation [1] (TL;DR Abnormal heart rhythm), and having a watch that can alert me that my heart rhythm is deviating from a normal rhythm is cheap insurance against a poor cardiac outcome.

For me, its medical telemetry first, and a phone second.

Not needing to pair with a phone is huge.
I want one but I also suspect I would stop using it quickly. I'm not sure what to actually use it for...
Chrome 66 will reject Symantec Certs in 2018
I love it, especially the vibrate function for reminders and alarms, and while you're driving for navigation.. Battery for series 2 lasts me 1.5 days at least. I can live without it, but it's a nice add on.
I'll chime in with the others, I've been using fastmail for years now and have never had a negative experience.

You guys do good work and I personally would have no qualms about trying to push any solution from you guys provided it was solving the problems we need solved specifically BECAUSE you've earned my trust over the years.
Researchers just figured out how to get robots to join forces
I'm guessing in the ensuing 14 years this offering did not continue. I wouldn't know; I'm part of the generation that swore off buying software or computers at Wal-Mart when they were selling Duke Nukem 3D with the parental control option permanently turned on.
I don't anticipate high schools being filled with two thousand children consuming instagram photos on their wrist. I don't anticipate college bars being filled with people cocking their wrists to the side taping intently onto a watch. And I don't anticipate my train commute into the city filled with people staring into the even smaller form factor of this device as they consume video and email...
You seem to have rather missed the point of the comment, which is that the evidence for priming turns out not to be strong at all. In fact, it is so weak that the effect may not actually exist.
> Belief should not be optional

What does that mean in real terms? What do you propose doing to those people who take the option of not believing? If the answer is nothing then belief is indeed optional.
Apple Watch is one of the very few v1 products I just never felt the need to upgrade. I tend to always be on the latest generation of everything, but the watch just works fine in it's launch-day v1 state. v2 was underwhelming, and as someone who always has his phone on him, v3 doesn't do much for me.

This isn't a complaint in the least, good to see Apple making products that don't feel old 2.5 years later.
The techcrunch article says there is a SIM card.
My wife pointed out how I pronounce valve. I was saying it similar to the lady part, while she said it with the A like in the nickname "Al"
Cellular coming to Apple Watch finally makes it a usable product for me, Apple Music being the killer app.

Question is then, will Spotify and Google Music ever come to Apple Watch?
I've had mine for a while now. I totally love it. It's a lot of small quality-of-life improvements for me. Things like controlling my phone's music playback from the Watch, the turn-by-turn directions, the Siri integration, the activity monitoring... all those things. Plus it helps me not be on my phone all the time, which is a problem I tend to have. (Since the notifications get routed through the Watch, I don't open my phone to dismiss them and get distracted.)
Wow, just wow. As someone not affected by the heroin epidemic, this was very hard to read. I was almost brought to tears at how many stories involved children of heroin users and how their lives are affected.
Making messaging on the watch with a separate cellular connection work seamless with messaging on the phone is an amazing symphony of cloud services. Apple is currently, IMHO, the only company with the cloud service ability to pull this off. Google Voice is a close second, but that hasn't been moved forward in quite awhile.

It is amazing how hard multi-homing has ended up being. Facebook Messenger has it working correctly, and the new chat apps that store all state in the cloud, e.g. Slack or Microsoft Teams, also pull it off.

Maintaining reasonable battery life with an always on LTE is also to be commended. Wireless is a huge power drain, providing low latency, low power, messaging is hard. FWIW, just having an LTE chip that never needs to turn on is easy, a fresh install of any mobile OS with no messaging apps installed will last for days. Put a single app that needs real time(ish) messaging delivery on board and watch the battery life drop in half.
Most of the RAM use comes from its architecture (it basically runs a web browser to display the UI), so this isn't a problem that they can just address. They'd have to rewrite the entire text editor with a different technology.
Chicago uses a similar system.
I was a skeptic. I bought one because I want to experience and understand technology. I wear it every day. I find notifications to be the reason to put it on and then a collection of other reasons (e.g. when cooking I use the timer).
Full disclosure, Chapel developer here -

While Chapel's community is small today, it has real users and it's growing.

Chapel is a compelling language that offers a good combination of productivity and performance.

The Chapel project is more ambitious than Python, Julia, or Go in that it provides a unified programming model for parallelism and locality that enables scaling from laptops to clusters and supercomputers. Because we are aiming for a higher target, it has taken longer to move beyond the prototype stage than it would for a serial language.

I think they're limiting the timeframe to thirty days so they can make money on people unfreezing and refreezing their credit reports in the future. This is sleezy IMO and I'm not having any part of it.

It's a creditor's responsibility to issue credit to the correct person. They are probably more worried about the data breach than consumers are. If a fake account is opened in my name, I'll send some scary letters [0] until it's resolved.

I put a fraud alert on my credit report through Transunion [1]. They communicate the fraud alert to Experian and Equifax and creditors must contact me at a phone number I provided before they issue credit in my name. Though this is only for 90 days, it was free and can be extended. It buys me time to make a decision in the future, Japanese general style

I remember really wanting one a couple years ago and scoffing at the price when I realized there was no LTE. This sounds like a game changer for sure. I can see people completely replacing their phones with these.
>Text editors with the right plugins can accomplish the same things but also be much more lightweight

Oh, the irony...
> The technology is neat, but there's little to justify $4000 a pop tech-wise

Just a globally decentralized currency that can't be devaluated by central bankers. No big deal.

Bitcoin is a political statement. And HN is a political echo chamber. No one here is going to change their mind about central banking and monetary theory. So if you think $4k/BTC is insane, that's totally reasonable. But you're also not seeing the vision and motivation that the early adopters hold - and from that perspective, $4k/BTC isn't that impressive.
I find Atom to be the best editor for Markdown, though not much else. In particular, it has superb support for Pandoc as well as a good spell corrector built in.
Huh weird. I'm in Edge (a supported browser) and it still says 'Live video will begin at 10 a.m. PDT.' - it's apparently 10:52 PDT now.
But the problem has been created; which you've got to fix by paying at least in your time spent solving this.

What you're saying is probably true in any country; but in reality imo it's way easier not to allow that to happen in the first place.
Maybe what we need is an open source blockchain application that keeps track of every event in your credit history, with YOU authorizing every view.

Every time you use credit, you'd be authorizing that creditor to add events to the records for that use, until they mark it paid off. Otherwise, nothing else gets into your history. And you'd be able to comment on any of those events, of course.
I love that idea. In the same way that few people listen to CDs anymore, but the vinyl industry is growing again. Streaming fills the quick-and-easy use case, vinyl fills the immersive-listening use case.

I think that could be a viable option for a lot of people (not all people - I can't imagine on the go emails and messaging on a watch) and not for a few years. If and when Siri becomes great, then the iPhone could become obsolete for many people.

In an ideal world, this would stop people from inhabiting the purgatory that is currently phone ownership. You're not going to browse reddit on your watch in the elevator - maybe you'll make small talk and save the reddit for your own toilet. In an ideal world.
Capitalism isn't about markets. Capitalism is defined as private, not state, ownership of property. Nothing in capitalism's basic theory requires markets.

It's just that capitalism, sans monopolies, and markets are a natural fit for each other. Capitalism with monopolies is the late 1800s US, which was an economic disaster for many and why we saw a rise of unions and socialist groups at the time.
> Oddly, it hasn't affected my ability to code; I can "see" code just fine.

Just out of interest, does it change by programming language? I imagine all the "structural support" in most popular programming languages would be helpful, but I know very little about dyslexia...
That's because MacOS is the Unix/Linux desktop done correctly. Gives both power users, and my grandmother, what they want in that environment, with a proper interface, and good software.
It's not a real SIM card. They talked about it in the keynote; it's a built-in electronic SIM chip or something.
i agree. not useful for you at 20? bad luck. for most folks in traffic 20-30mph is plenty to help "auto" navigate through the traffic jams.

my average current driving speed on car display is something like 25mph. thanks to constant traffic. the car is rated to 160mph top speed. how useful is that.
doesn't passive loss lower your tax basis? so, no, I don't think it negates the tax.
I'm a huge Musk fan and wish him and Tesla all the success in the world. But releasing any kind of machine-assisted driving without a near infallible "don't hit objects in front of the vehicle" function is simply irresponsible.

This crash, as well as the one where a Tesla crashed into a concrete barrier[1] are evidence that their tech is not ready for release.

How much do you want to bet the Waymo self-driving technology would have avoided both of these? Seems like one of the simplest cases to handle: something up ahead is blocking the way!

Anyone who uses Tesla machine-assisted driving features today is putting themselves in grave danger (except for low-speed features like parallel parking).

That's sortof like in the old days when someone robbed the bank, you had no way to even identify them if they were masked. If they travelled far, you couldn't find them, no cross-state warrants. Also, they would rip off the traveling gold wagons and make off with untraceable gold they could melt and split for money.

In those days, the idea of tracing or catching these criminals would have seemed nigh impossible. I'm sure with enough brain power, lost billions, corrupt elections, and casualties, we'll come up with something sooner or later to mitigate the issues.
To wit, it shouldn't be too surprising that the "scientist" who tells people that belief in his work is non-optional is the one who didn't bother to check if it's actually true.
I'm especially excited to get my hands on the new 4k Aerial screensaver videos. The 1080p ones are all easy to download:

Hmm or just go to a doctor and ask for a long term EKG maybe. That's what I did. I had to wear some measuring equipment for a day and then I had the result (broken heart). I don't think this changes from day to day so you might want to get a check every few year.

Something an uncle said:

It used to be called Bank fraud and it was the Banks problem. Now it's called Identity Theft and it's your problem.
Audi has a new System in the A8 for traffic jams that works only up to 60kmh, but is designed to be left alone completely. The germans seem to be starting from the bottom in a conservative way working up, while Tesla is much more aggressive. I think in this case i prefer the germans in the way they are not overpromising as much as Tesla.
The nudge is pretty prominent as the whole instrument cluster beeps. It also punishes you if you ignore the warnings by disabling autopilot (I think after 3 tries).
Language servers are local services that analyze the code outside of your editor (and can be used by several editors etc). It's a protocol that got big the last 2 years or so.

It doesn't refer to servers in some Cloud.
Our team is big on whiteboards for architecture, etc. This sounds awesoe
I wear mine through most of the day and night, and have done so since it launched. It's a lot more useful having Siri on my wrist for those types of needs, plus the health and sleep tracking is good information to have. I find that I don't use my phone as much as I used to, since I can read messages on it and just respond with voice. And it's great for doing small tasks like changing songs when I'm on the train and using a phone isn't convenient.

It can't replace a phone just yet, but the convenience for many tasks has made it a worthwhile purchase for me.
The other issue is that the venue for the ticket in most cases can reject you for any reason. (Typically venues don't do this.. but they will).

Bought Chris Rock tickets a long time ago with the impression that they didn't have any special terms on them. Nothing unusual in the terms. The ticket was a standard Ticketmaster ticket. Showed up to the Chicago Theather this weekend and they were forcing people to put their phones in a locked bag. I didn't agree to those terms, so I refused. I got denied entry.

(Btw Talked with ticketmaster support about this and they said this was an venue issue, the event didn't have any special terms attached)
I think this indicates where level 3 is a slippery concept: it looks like it could be useful in this case, if you think only of the times when it works properly, but the only reason for a system to be level 3 is that it cannot qualify for level 4, meaning explicitly that it cannot be considered safe enough without having an alert human to fall back on.

I took a look through the level descriptions for a level where the human is driving but is being monitored by the system, but they all seem to be versions of having the system drive while being monitored by a human. Maybe we can do more in the way of collision avoidance as the technology progresses towards true autonomy.
I wondered specifically why both planes were prop driven (seems like a jet engine would have more thrust and you wouldn't have to worry about wind forces on the props) and I found this, hopefully it helps with your question as well.

DC Needs Amazon, but Amazon Can Do Better
Yep, calling it autopilot and then having marketing videos showing Musk without his hands on the wheel comes off as disingenuous to me because whenever any incident happens, they point to the disclaimer stating that your hands are never supposed to be off the wheel.
I was just recommended "Lisp in Small Pieces" for just this.
Yep, been using it for a month full time so far. It IS better than Atom, but it still has snappiness problems. The embedded console is great, but not as fast as just using command prompt, it just has weird laggy moments. Using the built-in Git is also laggy, there's a delay when you click to stage a file, really annoying. The search is really laggy too, when you do a search across your app, it locks up the whole window for a second or two.

Microsoft also has this really annoying tendency to use icons for everything, every once in a while I find myself googling wtf these icons are.
I guess I already kind of knew how bad it was, but I just chose to ignore it. I decided instead of keeping a big thermos of coffee/water with me that lasts hours. I will instead actually get up to get something to drink, every time. It's a good reminder I think, and beats my alternative of setting an alarm for every 30 minutes of the work day.

Will the cellular piggyback on your existing service, or will it require a new line?

Here's the list of countries and carriers that it will work with:
http://live.arstechnica.com/apples-september-2017-iphone-8-l...
An "electronic SIM card inside". I don't think this means there's a physical SIM. Dunno how that's going to affect compatibility with carriers, which is OP's question.
Agreed. We're back in cause vs. correlation territory, no?

The most sedentary people may also be the most obese, the most likely to suffer from diabetes, the most burdened with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, etc. Their expected lifespans will thus be quite shorter.

I'm willing to believe that appropriate exercise is good for you, almost no matter how robust or frail your health is. But this would be a much better study if it tracked cohorts with roughly parallel starting health. That way, the degree of active-vs.-sedentary living could be a study variable that wasn't tainted by undocumented variations in starting health status.
The real question is : does Autopilot saves more lives than it claims, as most advocates like to say?

If the answer is no, then Tesla's Autopilot shouldn't be allowed as it is.

If the answer is yes, then it means that other manufacturers are too cautious.
