I don't think that's what Grustaf is saying.

The thing is if two of you have the same birthday then it falls on the same day . But if two of you have the same face, that doesn't mean you have to use the same phone. So unlike the birthday paradox where your birthdays "clash", you'd still have to try everyone's face on everyone's phone.

An actual Birthday Paradox equivalent would be if you had 1,000,000 phones and the 1,179 people in the auditorium, and you assigned people to a phone based on their face recognition ID. Then you would get your high chance that not everyone would get a unique phone.
That's true, but that's not what I meant. The philosophical maxim of minimal state intervention does not speak to the ways or circumstances in which the state is permitted to intervene. Accordingly, the subjective nature of one's preferred intervention level cannot itself be a definition of Libertarianism, only a flavor.
I don't have a reason to right now, but I'm saying I could imagine having one. More specialized debugging support perhaps? Joining a team with a build system that's easier to work with from {{IDE}}?
> It's incredibly frustrating being someone who loves science, works in the field of science, and is skeptical about the system, which used to be a prerequisite and is now looked at like luddite behavior.

I'm concerned about it from a different angle:

How much public policy, medical treatment, and follow-on science is seriously suboptimal due to this house of cards?
That's one interpretation. Cropping video content doesn't necessarily fall into that, yet I can see how some other designs would and why they would want developers to avoid that. Besides, there's also:

> Be mindful of aspect ratio differences when reusing existing artwork. iPhone X has a different aspect ratio than 4.7" iPhones. As a result, full-screen 4.7" iPhone artwork appears cropped or letterboxed when displayed full-screen on iPhone X. Likewise, full-screen iPhone X artwork appears cropped or pillarboxed when displayed full-screen on a 4.7" iPhone. Make sure that important visual content remains in view on both display sizes.

Emphasis mine.

EDIT: Also here [1]:

> Adhere to the safe area and layout margins defined by UIKit. These layout guides ensure appropriate insetting based on the device and context. The safe area also prevents content from underlapping the status bar, navigation bar, toolbar, and tab bar. Standard system-provided views automatically adopt a safe area layout guide.

The diagram shown suggests a "safe area" even inset a little from the notch.

Christ. I take a decent amount of pleasure in poking holes in topics here, and this is one of those "where do I even start", as well as continuing to lower my opinion of self-identified therapists.

(EDIT: To clarify: I don't mean to detract that the author is a Real(tm) therapist, but the "self identified" part is key to me as the author conveys that as their angle of expertise, as opposed to a physician who may also have a degree in therapy but tries to speak primarily as the former. I've found my Bayesian prior of agreement to correlate inversely when someone opens with "as a therapist...")

Let me pick a few points out. "ENDLESS FUN". Because that clearly defines the childhood of most of the people I grew up around in a Philadelphia public school. (My sarcasm should be VERY heavy right about here.) Quite to the opposite, children spend ~half (usually far more if you count transit, extracurriculars, and homework) of their waking hours in a situation one can honestly describe as "penitentiary-like". Yet the article NEVER touches on the far more likely hypothesis that children, like most semi-sentient creatures, don't want to do highly unpleasant things with no feeling of autonomy? We recognize this for our food animals but not our own children?

"KIDS RULE THE WORLD" This isn't even defended in their own paragraph, if I'm reading it right (it's a bit "fun" to dig through the spurious rhetoric and anti-youth slant); and in all of the quotes they give, I would argue as examples that they _don't_ rule the world, given that the response in most situations is "you don't get a choice, I'm your parent".

"TECHNOLOGY" This has been the mantra of parents as long as I've been watching news. It just used to be Phones, TV, Radio, Rock Music, Swing/dance halls, all the way back to the turn of the century. The statement about parental emotional availability may have some merit but is in no way supported, and seems distinct from the section header.

Now, I'd like to ask _why_ the author paints a slant that so entirely deprives children of means and mentality, so allow me to apply my typical cynicism with a quote from the author bio: " She is founder and director of a multidisciplinary clinic in Toronto, Canada, for children with behavioral, social, emotional and academic challenges."

If you convince parents their kids are broken, they'll pay you money to try and "fix" them. As a kid who had decades of adults trying to "fix" me, and has turned out "pretty damn OK" I still resent that; and find the article entirely lacking in substance or legitimacy.
great question!
With Stockpile's fractional share platform you OWN the stock. you have all the voting rights, you get the dividend for the fraction of the share you own. So, this is a REAL stock, not a share of a share. This is not a crowdsourcing model, you get the ownership in the company stock with voting rights and dividends.

Re $5 apple stock, you are getting 0.03 apple stock ($5 worth of stock if the stock price is $160/share). You don't need to pay $0.99 for getting this free stock. The trading commission of $0.99 cents is only when you buy or sell more shares.

There are no account minimums or monthly fees.

Hope this answers your question!

Near the end of the post, the author considers what happens when the means of the two distributions are different. "They don't seem to be the dominant factor" because in order to fully generate the observed ratio of male/female employment at Google using only the "general techiness factor", one needs to hypothesise implausibly large differences in the underlying distributions of techiness.
One out of two ain't bad. At least they've left the one which will get 'fixed' if they just do nothing for long enough.
Obesity is obviously deadly and fat "acceptance" is just as disastrous as meth acceptance. In fact, obesity kills far more than meth.

But my greater point is that we are obviously all okay with negative social stimulus (shaming et. al.) to curb bad behaviors. This is how virtually all social conditioning works and it's part of how we have a civil society. I don't think it's a good idea to decide some negative behaviors should be immune to negative social stimulus. Apply the same rule to everything, one way or the other.
They're not magic. You can make a fake with enough effort. But it's a lot of effort.
> It's only useful for overnight charging or long term downtimes.

Not really - My phone sits on my desk next to me throughout the day. If it were charging every time I put it down, even 5-10 minutes at a shot, that would basically add up to a fully charged phone by the time I left my desk.

Right now I have to plug it in to do that, and I only do that if I know I'm going to be there a while - otherwise it's a hassle. With a mat, it's the same effort to put it down as it is without the mat.
Did you talk to someone at Reddit about this? I'm sure they'd like to know how you feel. If you haven't, you should send them this feedback directly.

Try Airpods. They are amazing and the audio quality and pairing are stellar if you can deal with their fit/shape. It's been about 5% of people that I've had try them where they just don't fit or sit right in their ears.

Same guidelines also specify the safe area to put actual content, which excludes that area. In addition they suggest not hiding the status bar, which generally would push your content below it anyway.

> Inset essential content to prevent clipping. In general, content should be centered and symmetrically inset so it looks great in any orientation and isn't clipped by corners or the device's sensor housing, or obscured by the indicator for accessing the Home screen

...and...

> If your app currently hides the status bar, reconsider that decision on iPhone X. The display height on iPhone provides more vertical space for content than the displays of 4.7" iPhones, and the status bar occupies an area of the screen your app probably won't fully utilize.

[emphases mine]

My take is they don't want you putting a black background up there to mask it (unless all of your background is black, presumably) but you don't have to lay out around it either. For videos and photos in particular, since black is the normal background for outside the image I doubt there'll be an issue using it at the ends.
It's funny that you mention that "Socrates" guy. I see him a lot. I also see a lady named "Chistine McMorrow." They're both frequently at the top of the readers' picks section. They must check the Times often for breaking stories.

This article is effectively a straw man. It uses an argument which isn't directly applicable (not central to the points made by James Damore in the Google Memo) to give an appearance of being reasonable. If you want to be more familiar with the science James Damore was referencing, take a look at this video of a presentation by Steven Pinker and the sources referenced therein.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PaL5FW5src

The key takeaway for the Google Memo, is that James Damore was fired for referencing mainstream science, then asking if that was relevant to Google's hiring practices. What's more, many of his coworkers and many of my fellow college classmates were more than willing to throw him under the bus and impute all sorts of unsavory thoughts and emotions to Mr. Damore with no evidence, while the Google management was willing to publicly do the same while re-disseminating his memo in the worst way possible to encourage misreadings of it. See also Christina Hoff Summers' video on the subject.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu4tB9W3xFo

Steven Pinker identifies as a feminist, as does Christina Hoff Summers. Diane Halpern certainly isn't a misogynist.

The extreme left which ascribes to Postmodernist political theories is coming for the scientists, rationalist nerds, and Aspergers neuro-atypicals. They want to cow everyone into agreeing to their ideologically driven Lysenkoist-like censored science. They represent a new authoritarianism operating through a fear of social ostracism and economic disenfranchisement. (You don't have to take my word for it -- you can take theirs. Just pay attention to what campus activists have been saying since about 2014.) If you believe in rational discourse, free speech, and meritocracy, you need to courageously speak out against these authoritarians.

(First they came for the social scientists and evolutionary biologists...)
>Even assembly is interpreted.

Could you please elaborate on this point? I'm still very much in the cave.
Since there are 34 "Gain Priv" listed on that page for Android (many versions) in 2017, and well over 200 listed for 2016, I would imagine with those as a starting point it might not be too hard to look for likely candidates that have been weaponized (or have working proof of concept code) if you search around a bit. It's not exactly easy, but given the huge number of exploits to work with, it would probably yield something without too much work.

I did notice that the entries there include whether there's a known metasploit module, which none that I looked at had one shown there. I googled metasploit and android and found some video tutorial for hacking a Android phone using metasploit from early 2017[1], so maybe that will help you. In any case, good luck if you try.

It's not. Anybody who uses iPhone authentication methods other than a random six digit passcode with a ten-attempt wipe is asking for trouble.
Do people still get excited about phones? It seems they are pretty much commodity now. I haven't seen anything really interesting over the last few years.
Graphical frameworks -- GTK? QT?

These are intertwined with the language and GTK especially does not look attractive on macOS and Windows.

The appeal to HTML/CSS/JS is it's 100% agnostic to the platform, and can even be used as a front-end to a program written in a different language.
> That can make getting code into those repos a bit cumbersome, but that's kind of the price you pay.

That's as clear a statement of security theater as I can think of.

If you make it cumbersome to build packages for a distro and get them accepted into that distro, your distro then ends up with language-level package managers doing an end-run around that "secure" package-managing apparatus.

Meanwhile, non-dilettante security experts are sandboxing the code that they aren't able to verify. Chrome/Chromium does that. Firefox is doing that more and more. What are the cumbersome-package-having distros doing?
This doesn't strike me as "dialect" so much as "accent". There seems to be nothing lexical (nothing about the words you use) and only matters of pronunciation are covered.

> What I cannot understand at all is the compromise in landscape mode, for games and video.

I find that an odd glass-half-empty view. Since the screen has more pixels than earlier phones, instead of worrying about some being "taken away" by the notch, consider it as Apple adding some space for status info and the like to dead space that was previously bezel.
If the return on investment justifies it, of course learn vi/Emacs. I use vi myself on a daily basis, but you must admit that not every professional programmer does. For those that don't, atom might be another option.
> - Facebook infringing on your patents doesn't really harm you, just like you using Facebook's React patents doesn't really harm Facebook

Eh, what? There's a very big difference between someone infringing on a patent, which does harm no matter if you care to enforce it or not (because it sends a signal to others that it's fine to infringe on your patents, if you don't care about them make them public domain instead), and an open source project including a patent grant so you don't have to worry about any patents that might govern that code. The two situations are not identical and can't just be compared like that.

> And I'm afraid I don't really care how patents are "supposed" to work - we've known for a long time already they don't work like they're supposed to....

Ah yes of course! The system is broken anyways so lets just not give a fuck about it being further abused. Just do as you please. Sound argument.

I haven't thought out the details, but I really think that it should not be the website owner, or any other individual or organization, but rather some sort of decentralized community effort. For example, one could imagine a distributed log that every commenter and moderator appends to and that is replicated to different parts of the world -- each of which a client could subscribe to.

"It's like the Atom editor but even slower!"

I never managed to work with Atom as it is now. It's just too slow. Now they are pushing it even further, I cannot imagine how much slower could still get.
I am probably out of touch, but the idea of wearing a watch that cannot go a full day without a recharge seems... well, like having a car that can get you to work and halfway home before going dead. Incomplete.

I wear a Garmin vivoactive HR watch that does a lot, but certainly not all that an Apple watch does; but it goes about a week on a charge. One feature I like of smartwatches is the sleep tracking. But with the Apple watch, wouldn't you need to charge it while you slept? Otherwise you'd be taking it off some part of each day to charge it.
Fully agreed on the screens part. I've gone back to ditching the screen at night. Previously I'd want to read an electronic book, but would end up distracted with everything else. The upside to ditching the electronic screen is focus and general avoidance of the light prior to bed. While RedShift/NightLight modes are nice, I still notice a profound difference by dumping the phone an hour or so before I turn it in.

I think the other component we'll see questioned more and more over the coming years is the general questioning around homeostasis. I recently finished Scott Carney's: "What Doesn’t Kill Us: How Freezing Water, Extreme Altitude and Environmental Conditioning Will Renew Our Lost Evolutionary Strength" and it was a great read. While the main premise of the book is Scott's initial mission to debunk the Wim Hof Method he delves into a lot of newer research and training that is centered around building up our bodies beyond traditional exercise.

Recently I read through comments on HN when the Bay area hit record highs and how people were cautioning of all of the bad things that would happen if one didn't seek A/C. It really hit home how many people are not acclimated, at all, to any level of extreme that other portions of the planet and people deal with on a daily basis. Just as we're sedentary, we're also not as capable to environmental adaptation - and I'll speculate this isn't good for us long term either. I've moved to 5+ minutes per shower of full cold and stopped using A/C in my vehicle, and more sparingly in my home. If you've never done the cold showers as a test to see what you're body is truly capable of - do it. It's amazing how you adapt in a short period of time. Also the clarity and anxiety reduction it brings to either the start or the end of the day is an understatement. Try it, it's cheap and takes no additional time out of your day if you're already showering anyway.
I don't have the time to learn it that way. It's this or never doing it at all.
turbines and cats put different selective pressure on the prey population - cats kill weak, ill, etc. thus improving the overall quality of the population where is turbine kills are probably spread uniformly and even may be skewed toward healthy active animals.

Yikes.
I am shocked that this is the top comment. It's entirely negative and has nothing useful to say.

The fact that this post is on the front page pretty strongly implies that people care, doesn't it? We live with our phones with us practically 24/7. If you're a dev, surely that's still exciting.
There is zero possibility this is a propaganda piece for Equifax.

Bloomberg is a fairly respectable entity, they just don't do the bidding of arbitrary 'big corps' against other 'arbitrary big corps'.

As far as 'Google not advertising on Bloomberg' - my friend - Google owns the internet. Every web site on planet earth is 100% beholden to search results. Bloomberg lives and dies on Google results.

Google has been known to fuddy with search results for direct competitors, so if Bloomberg needs to be afraid of someone, it's Google - moreover - they have nothing to gain from doing a 'pro Equifax' propaganda piece.

There is corporate influence and national propaganda in journalism - but this is not it.

This is just regular journalism.

And I for one support the premise.

Equifax is irrelevant.

Google and FB together, are almost 100% of the risk. They have 'everything' on us.
My impressions were the same. Unfortunately VS Code caused some data loss on the first day I tried it, so I chose to keep using Sublime, but it seems really good overall.
I would bet that a lot of it has to do with the outrage that occurred when Apple switched from the dock connector to lightning. People were up in arms about how apple switched 'just to make more money' blah blah blah.

I bet Apple will switch after they feel they've had the lightning connector out for long enough that they can say it was time.

That actually works very well between humans; we let friends in our house without asking for passwords. Machines still have a bit of catching up to do, but Face ID is a step in the right direction.
I disagree with your view of fighting unjust laws, but I can agree to disagree on that one. It's a complicated issue for sure.

> Nope. They can organize all they want, but if the Government is well within legal limits

You are misunderstanding what I mean here: Google can make it so that nobody except the user can read their data, but Google chooses not to. If they did this (read: the correct/secure way), then the government can ask all they want, and Google would be unable to comply.
Said another way, why didn't they adjust the notch or other dimensions to support the nearest wider standard like 18.5:9?

As an engineer I don't really understand how the effect of these bad studies can be such a big deal.

Doesn't science build off other science? When one scientist takes the conclusion of another study for granted (Example that X drug is effective), and then tries to build off of it with their own study (testing if A or B delivery method is more effective), doesn't it become obvious fairly quickly the second study is based on a bad conclusion of the first study?

And if the author of the second study calls out the author of the first study, this type of Peer Review could be almost as effective as having more Peer Reviewed literature or study replication, which is what everyone is asking for.
