There is a theory called Gresham's Law, that states that bad money drives out good, because people hoard the good money.

This is one of the problems with bitcoin right now. As a currency its variability AND value is high, which leads to people not wanting to spend it.

This ironically leads to a problem with the currency not being used.

There are other problems, but for its wide spread acceptance and use to buy pizza, I sure don't want to spend something that is worth 1$ today, but might be worth 100$ tomorrow.

Pretty interesting commentary on failed papers behind Medium's paywall here:
https://medium.com/@jhreha/most-psychology-research-is-bs-73...

The focus of the article is on failed replication attempts in Psychology. The gist:

* The famous failed studies are famous because of characteristics of the media, mainly the media loves quick fixes. "Just doing this one tiny thing once will produce this massive change."

* A common sense reason that small interventions don't produce massive psychological changes: imagine if everyone you knew was changing personalities all the time. It would be chaos.
Banks are highly regulated, yet that hasn't stopped them from enriching themselves and the wealthy elite at the expense of the average citizen. It's all sanctioned by the government, built into the system.

Governments after all are run by people, just like companies, and people are prone to greed, corruption, and abuse of power, regardless of their position.
That's not quite true, the underlying volatility doesn't matter as long as the position sizes (as part of a basket of currencies) are correct and the relationships between the currencies are well understood.
Charitably, I assume if you’re holding the phone with no bezel, your thumb has to cover up part of the screen anyway. So it’ll cover that space.

Otherwise that’s the dumbest design decision I’ve ever seen them make on the iPhone hardware. It’s worse than the protruding camera that they STILL have.
Watch for the inevitable explosion of videos with important content (like "Apple sucks") placed in such a way that it will be hidden behind the notch.
Thanks for sharing scuttlebutt! At first glance, it looks similar to projects made using Dat. I wonder how it's inner workings compare.
I'm sure they're going to let you make the status bar black to make the notch seamless.
It's entertainment. People enjoy entertainment. Why not?
It totally failed, those guys repeat those demos for months and there is absolutely no way the phone was in such a state.
it may be useless to you ... but like, do you know any "regular" people? do you know how popular things like bitmoji are? and snapchat face 'filters'? This is gonna kill ;)
Apple has never been first with any feature, don't know what gave you that impression.

Those are different things.

Saving is setting aside money for future use.

Hoarding is setting aside money expecting the value of money to increase, thus treating it like an investment instrument, which is not the purpose of money.

If Bitcoin is a commodity then "hoarding" is normal.

If Bitcoin is money, it's not.
Just to expand on the 'wire' transfers. It can also be used to transfer money overseas without tax.

Finally, wireless charging, they even support standard Qi, but how are they making Qi work like a power mat?
Not quite, legal tender means if someone owes you money, you have to accept it.
Who cares at the end of the day it's still just numbers in a account. It just so happens adding $ before the numbers make it much easier for me to spend them.
Curious what investment strategy that would lead you to... If your bullish on blockchain but bearish on bitcoin, you're looking at, what, Ripple?
Unsure about the downvotes, do you really buy Apples 1 in a million numbers here? Really? This tech has proven to be unreliable before and is nothing more than security theater and for a minor convenience
You were downvoted to oblivion, but honestly this is a huge issue that somehow feels like people are just OK with.

Honestly, work with Atom open for a day or two on the same project, that's not uncommon right? Prepare yourself for some serious type lag.

Full disclosure, I run a Linux desktop with 32GB of RAM. I'm not accustomed to type lag. Judging by your downvotes it's an acquired taste.
In TXR Lisp, I did the grunt work and wrote separate constructor functions for different function signatures:

http://www.kylheku.com/cgit/txr/tree/lib.c#n5525

These functions are only used from within C code; they are not the basis for any intrinsic functions. The call to each of these functions knows exactly the type of function it wants to make.

There is a notation in the naming.

Firstly, the leading 'f' denotes functions with an environment value, whereas 'n' denotes non-environment functions. Then there is a number indicating the number of arguments. Then an optional letter which is 'o' if the function has optional arguments, or 'v' if it is variadic. Both can be present in which case we have 'ov.

Thus for example func_n2ov(some_c_function, 1) will create a variadic function with 2 fixed arguments, of which 1 is required (so one optional). some_c_function has to have the type signature val (* )(val, val, varg). No casting is required because func_n2ov just assigns this to the correct union member. If we pass a function with an incorrect signature, we get a C compile error.

The func_n2ov constructor is used when registering the unique function in eval.c:

reg_fun(intern(lit("unique"), user_package), func_n2ov(unique, 1));

We intern the string "unique" in the user package ("usr"), and use that symbol to register a function createdy by hoisting the C function unique into the Lisp domain with func_n2ov.

I wrote TXR in a way that is easy to understand and maintain. It is only implemented in C, though. If you want to study how to make a Lisp interpreter in C. Yet, it is production code for real work.
I probably will. I don't use Venmo very much, and when I do, it's to pay (or receive money from) people who also use Venmo. So it's convincing not just myself, but those with whom I transact, to use the same network.
I will admit to passive-aggressively refusing to help people fix their Macs and iPads, telling them that Apple makes a point of being closed and proprietary, and that if they want free tech support from me they should ask me for a software recommendation I'm willing and able to stand behind first.

But... I don't really care if my contributions to open-source get used in a closed-source product. I just won't buy it because you intentionally neutered my ability to fix it myself. And I'm going to raise that point if your potential customers ask me what I think of it. But I don't feel any bitterness over it that I don't also feel for stuff that's entirely proprietary to begin with.
As others have said, the Samsung face unlock was not secure. Windows Hello has been around a while though and I think it works similarly to how the iphone one works.
Well everyone will need to wait for real-world tests to be sure, but I'd be quite surprised if they've got it good enough to work when someone is wearing a hat and sunglasses and yet still be secure enough to have a very low false-positive rate.
Of course not. If you want to increase the dynamic range of color, all you have to do is increase the sampling bit depth of the picture being captured.

HDR is a specific technique which involves cheaply processing pixels to fit a different color curve than it was captured in. It's not lifelike, it's candy-like.

We don't preface highways with I in Chicago. We either just use the number (I took 290 to 294 to 88), or we use their name. Sometimes we use a combination (I took the Eisenhower out to the Tri-State and then to 88).
actually, the phone had been rebooted, so he needed to unlock with a pin to activate it.
Nobody likes number 9.

It displays how behind the times the NTSB (and most regulatory bodies) are. The fact that "the result was a collision that, frankly, should have never happened" is entirely their fault. Were they ever in contact/collaboration with Tesla about this kind of technology? If not, why weren't they? Are we going to continue down the same years-long path of reactionary regulations where several more people have to die before the government grows a backbone on this?

I'm all for the government keeping its nose out of places it doesn't belong, but as we've learned over the past century, companies don't give 2 shits about whether or not the products they release harm consumers; it's entirely up to government to set the boundaries. You won't find me in any car with any kind of self-driving "autopilot" feature for many, many years.
There were many before. There was even a mac keyboard-less tablet years before the iPhone, just not made by Apple.

Not only that but it also allows to display colors outside of the sRGB (Rec. 709) gamut.
How many folks thought the bezel up top is weird? They should have captured the screen space for something else.
Ever been to the UK? There are some accents that for many American English speakers wouldn't be intelligible. I doubt those will disappear within a generation.

There's a general tendency of accents merging or becoming more similar but new accents develop out of that as well. I think you underestimate the effect everyday speech has on people. Take the Dutch for instance. They're famous for almost universally speaking English very well. The main reason for this is that in the Netherlands foreign language films, TV series etc. come with subtitles instead of a dubbed version. Still many still have a recognisably Dutch accent.

Then there's another phenomenon that in language history so far has only happened to English: There are more non-native speakers than native speakers. So we might very well end up with something like a universal, worldwide English accent. It might just not sound like any of the native English accents at all.
I wonder if the tech team involved with Face ID factored the birthday paradox into their security factor. They touted a "1 in 1,000,000" chance that someone else's face unlocks one's iPhone X.

Well, with the birthday paradox, let's say there were, say, exactly 1179 people in the Steve Jobs Auditorium and they all had iPhone Xs. That's 694,431 unique pairs of people, and there would be roughly a 50% chance of two of the attendees faces unlocking the same phone.

That's not helpful for brute forcing a single phone, but it is mildly disconcerting that a security factor of only 1 in 1,000,000 is considered a "wow" factor.

Edit: Some people are asking, "But isn't that equivalent to a six digit pin?" Yes, of course. I am just opining on the marketing spiel for security not being nearly as impressive as it sounds. More boring features like the secure enclave play a much larger role in the security of the iPhone than the "1 in X" chance of a successful unlock.

«global cap of soon to be 28 transactions a second Bitcoin»

Bitcoin competes more against Western Union than against Visa. WU does only 31 transactions per second, perfectly within range of Bitcoin's capabilities (https://corporate.westernunion.com/annual-report/highlights....)
Haven't checked your math but that's random guesses on an insecure password and prevented by rate limiting, you can't just enter 7.5 billion passwords.

Face recognition (other than Face ID I mean) is fairly advanced. Let's say a government wanted to unlock my phone they could search for similiar faces and just pay the person. Sure a lot of trouble for unlocking a phone and it's theoretical but it's still a flawed system in my opinion.
I feel that Apple knows exactly what it's doing with this feature. There is a strong pull with iMessage for 15-25 year olds in schools, the kind of market something like this will go over pretty well with and potentially create more lock in to their message platform. Along with all the other photo apps that will take advantage of this tech. You could even just look at the Animoji as a tech preview for all the other devs.

My house had an office with a built in desk that made Varidesk a great option. I've wanted to lower it a couple of times but opted to push through for endurance sake.
I've been a Mac user for decades and I think I'm reaching the end of the line; it's always been just enough of a better overall experience to keep me paying the "Apple tax" over Linux on commodity x86 hardware, but the gap has seemingly been narrowing each year.

Sadly, too much of that narrowing is due to Apple ceding the advantage for me to be exactly happy with it (although there has been progress on the Linux front; things have come a long way, certainly). I'm still running MacOS 10.10 right now, and when something finally breaks, I don't know if I can stomach the thought of a forced upgrade to Sierra with its "System Integrity Protection". No, thanks.

This is what I was trying to get at with the China point. If you're avoiding taxes, you can bet goverments will try to crack down on you. My whole thesis, btw, assumes that legal uses would dominate illegal uses in terms of transactional value.

Real-world usage, obviously. If you're going to replace a foundational component of the OS, you need to replace it in a bug-compatible way, period. No compromises.

A common use for this behavior is VPNs: you sign onto a VPN, and the VPN's DNS server gets prepended to the list in resolv.conf, which allows you to resolve internal addresses (and still fall back to your regular DNS). This is a crazy-common use case, and it's incredibly arrogant of Poettering to just dismiss it out of hand, or even attempt to argue with it.
First to integrate them on a product category maybe, but multitouch was not invented by them.

Poor guy, this "useless" feature is an important milestone in AI
Heart of the argument:

The reason that an item must be popularly collected before it can become money can be illustrated by imagining that you are at a baseball card convention. Inside the convention there is very little doubt that you could sell your highly sought after baseball card to just about anyone. If you see someone that has something you want it’s just a matter of figuring out the ratio (price) — since it’s very likely they will accept your card in a trade. Now imagine you leave the convention and walk a few blocks away to buy a bag of chips. It’s obvious that the store owner is unlikely to accept your baseball card.

Money works the same way except that the whole world collects what you have. Since everyone in the US collects US dollars you are sure to be able to use it to trade with just about everyone.

Obviously this truck may have broke down in that lane and could not be moved out, which removes the fault from the truck driver. In general cars have drivers, exactly because such things can happen and will happen without anyone else to blame. Neither does the blame matter if you are dead as a result.

The 2 (in fact there were more) crashes are important because they show the state of the technology. Also keep in mind 99.9% drivers don't have an autopilot, 0.1% does. 2 crashes among the 0.1% are just as important as 32k crashes among the 99.9% of the rest.
The user experience of an Apple laptop may be 10 times better than a Linux laptop for the types of things most people want a computer to do. Consider the out of the box battery life experience for example.

No, this is not a misconfiguration. It is a configuration that expects the resolver to behave according to the algorithm described in resolver(5). systemd chose to wedge itself in as a resolver, then broke that contract.

I love my iphone camera, and if the upgrade program isn't too terrible, I will get the iPhoneX, but call me underwhelmed.

The implementation of faceID seems really poorly thought out. I can unlock my phone, and navigate it before focusing my attention on it. I feel like "attention to unlock" is going to cause an increase in distracted driver related incidents.

I think that's why people are talking up what they see as an alternative to the monolithic IDE: the lightweight text editor with support for extensions. I know Atom isn't particularly lightweight in terms of memory usage, but it is in terms of functionality.
I really don't get the notches. They're extra ugly, they put the sensor in a vulnerable position and are basically there so that they can claim a thinner phone forcing user to fatten it again with ugly plastic cases just to have the phone rest flat

That's what is meant. You can auth with Apple Pay before you need to for up to a minute (maybe two?) and save yourself the time. It's the equivalent of having your cc out of your wallet and in your hand before you need it.
Then what do you recommend should be done? Because it should be obvious to most that increasing inequality, record-breaking corporate profits combined with a decreasing quality of life for most Americans outside of large cities is leading to a destabilization of our political system.

The NTSB and most of other highly developed nations ' equivalents really are quite amazing. For whatever reason, I read most of the full NTSB aviation incident reports. Aside from the thoroughness of them and the engineering geekery, they are truly master classes in understanding how to do a proper postmortem.

The NTSB's ability to remain apolitical and engineering-focused is really remarkable. They way they were portrayed in "Sully" is shameful and was uncalled for.
Well, but Mac OS X (then OS X, now macOS) was called "Mac OS Ten" and it actually followed Mac OS 9.

No, displays which can support colors outside of BT.709 allow this to happen. HDR processing is just a post-processing gimmick used by Hollywood to make things look even less realistic and more plastic.
I think that I've got full CD sets for Mandrake and Red Hat 7 or so around somewhere. Or maybe partial for Mandrake, and full for Red Hat? I'd have to look around and see what I've kept, over the years. It should certainly be more than the 1-2 disks that most of those earlier distros have on that page, but only maybe 1 or 2 releases.
Sorry if this has been pounded to death, but where can people read up on Bitcoin? I heard of that Andreas Antonopoulos, but first impression he feels kind of sales pitchy.
They did mention that they tested against photos, and worked with hollywood makeup artists to make masks to test the phone as well. The number they mention for the odds that someone elses face will match yours is 1 in 1,000,000. They also said that touch id has a 1 in 50,000 chance, so it is 20x more secure.(I say that a bit tongue in cheek) I would like to know how they crunched these numbers though.
I can see a lot of use in "I don't really want to record video and worry about how I look today, but this stupid poop can share my exact facial expression".

I don't have an iPhone and don't plan to have an iPhone, but this is going to be a surefire hit feature for Apple, and I expect other platforms to try to emulate it pretty quick.

Also, a friend of mine pointed out how popular it will be among the furry community. :)
