Podcast Breakdown – The Bledsoe Show – Johg Ananda Yoga: Bounded and Blindfolded
>A good counter example of this is the downfall of the German camera industry in the 60s and 70s. All that's left of that is Leica, Zeiss and a bunch of brand names (Rollei, Contax, Voigtländer..) stuck on Japanese cameras.

Classic camera nerd here.
True, true, but mostly down to:

a) the Japanese government helping optical and camera companies share technologies, instead of Germany where patent protection makes german camera companies do hard competition against each other and find all kinds of workarounds to prevent patent infrigement from the other brand.

b) REALLY bad business decisions (for example, Zeiss-Ikon-Voigtlander at some point had something like 3 or 4 incompatible different lens mounts for their 35mm camera range)

c) the Japanese making stuff cheaper because less labor costs, unions, etc

d) Also, due to WWII war reparations, Russia and Japan 'inherit' all optical patents and designs from Zeiss germany which helps them build their optical (and camera) industry as quick as possible.

e) German companies not foreseeing the japanese menace / not doing anything about it.

Great website and article about this:

I just love it that everyone is saying things like:

"And yes, it is my opinion that climate change is absolutely happening" .

The level of fear in stating simple opinions has gone to 11.
These threads are just venting grounds for people with poor imaginations. In reality, these phones are probably going to be fun to own and these issues won't really affect common users.
Heh, this is the issue, which makes me also love this stuff. I pronounce 'awn' and 'on' in 'lawn' and 'on' the same. Grew up in Pittsburgh so that tends to do it.
Is there video of the interview?
That actually happened with IntelliJ - which is one reason why I'm trying to move over to Atom.

It used to be there was a plugin package to allow you to use IntelliJ for C/C++ development, in addition to all the other languages. That changed, though - and they split CLion off the main branch.

So now - if for instance you want to do NodeJS robotics work, and interface to an Arduino (for example), you would need to use regular IntelliJ with the extensions for javascript, and CLion separately for C/C++ development. Essentially dinging you twice for what should be the same damn product.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see them split the javascript portion off into its own editor suite as well.

Atom may not be or have everything that IntelliJ does, but because it is open source, and extensible, and not controlled by a singular entity, I know that I don't have to worry about it changing like that in the future.

Don't get me wrong, though - I like IntelliJ, I think it's a great IDE (started out with PHPStorm). But I think it should have stayed general purpose and extensible, and not lock languages out to move people to another (but essentially the same) IDE. I'd have no problem paying the yearly fee - but I'm not going to pay for it twice.
Well, it is kinda working class phrase I guess.

I've heard it for the plural in Dallas and Houston but in less salubrious parts of town.
But the things we realize we don't know are much harder to figure out, they take more resources (time, money, study participants, analysis, etc). That's the reason things are, and should be, slowing down.

We are, clearly, close to figuring out most of the easy stuff. For our current definition of "easy" based on the amount of work, computing power and strength of the mathematical tools that we consider normal.
It the one I don't write with...

Not so complicated.
That actually makes intuitive sense, now that there's a notch there dividing the clock—notifications are associated with time, so that's easy to remember—and the battery/wi-fi indicators, which are associated with the control center.

Jarring if you're used to swiping from the bottom, but it does make sense at least.
That's a good 1st cut. But if we review the prior art -- namely stage magic's tricks with mirrors -- what's to stop someone from putting something in the region of the reflected image that would be expected by the driving AI? So, if what's expected are bushes in the background, why not aim the mirror at other bushes at the right distance?
Shouldn't they be focusing on the browser?

There is literally a good hundred of solid solutions out there for web commenting - hosted, embedded or app libraries -, and Talk doesn't seem innovative at all.
I agree, what about identical twins or a doppleganger?
Show HN: Rossella Algorithm for Video (Latest Video Clips by Topic)
> I don't really get your point. Sure, overall you get more pixels but the screen still gets covered partially and you're not allowed to fill in the left and right of it with a black bar to make your content look not overlapped.

Plenty of content will use a black bar, especially 16:9 video.

For non-video content you could put info there that previously would have covered other content. (Plus I think the non-pixel notch area would be a perfect place for Safari to banish those stupid floating "share" buttons).

Instead of getting hung up on the camera zone and what it "takes away", think of the phone as having a large rectangular screen plus a pair of small rectangular additional screens, like ears. Even if those little regions were always black you'd still have more pixels than Apple's previous phones.
The OPM hack resulted in millions of people's fingerprints and names being hacked, and now are floating out on the internet for anyone to look up.

Individuals who had their fingerprints stolen in that hack can now never use fingerprint readers with any reasonable confidence, since now all a hacker has to do is search that person's name and pull their fingerprint from one of aforementioned databases.

> fake your fingerprints with a cast

Fingerprint scanners like those on phones have been shown to be able to be fooled by using $10 worth of office supplies and some play-dough. It's not like we're talking mastermind levels of intelligence to do this stuff.

Of course, all of this completely ignores the fact that your phone likely already has several copies of your fingerprint already on it since you touched it, so it's not like someone hacking your fingerprints is even necessary. That's an entirely different reason of why fingerprint security is abysmal, though.
Jeez, Liverpool itself has several distinct accents, so does Manchester or at least Greater Manchester.

You can't drive 10 miles without new accents in populated areas more like!
Sooner or later everyone will get off their collective asses and start registering studies before they are performed so that this is enforced and tracked. Hopefully.
data loss

Care to elaborate? Might be good to help others avoid the same problem.
A headphone jack doesn't stop you from using wireless headphones.
My home AP's admin interfaces are on another VLAN.

You'll generally get the PUBLIC VLAN which can only see most of the internet, via a transparent Squid proxy. I also have a THINGS VLAN for well, general IoT stuff and a SEWER VLAN for things that scare me. Those last two have SSL bump enabled.

I'm sure everyone has at least 10 802.1Q VLANs defined on their home network.
Agreed that they should make every change documented and explicit - if you didn't realize they made this change -> that's squarely on them.

That being said, this is a welcome change because up until now the inventory has been so small on almost any individual subreddit as to make the time spent setting up and managing ads on the platform ROI negative.
Benefiting advertisers and benefitting Reddit are really the same thing. We can't please investors without building a long-term, sustainable business; we can't build a long-term, sustainable ads business without advertisers being happy with our product.

> CPMs should have gone down, not up, since your inventory was expanded meaning same demand for expanded supply.

This really depends, there's more supply available to you, but you're potentially competing against more advertisers as well. e.g. if, for example, there's high overlap between visitors to /r/jerky and /r/dota2 you might see increased CPMs, if there's not other advertisers competing for your same inventory you'd see lower CPMs.
I can make a warranty claim for the original headphones (which did break within about 6 months of use) themselves online, and pay $33 until I send the broken ones back. As far as I know there's no online process for replacing the adapter. I could take it to the Apple Store and probably get either replaced at no upfront cost, but that's a two hour drive for me, and none of these options solve the problem of Apple selling accessories that aren't remotely reliable enough to justify their price tags.
Having a police force, civil and criminal court system, and justice dept. works for libertarianism.
To quote the person you just replied to:

"I already know the friend who will come to me tomorrow that his HTC has and 8 core processor while Apple has only six. The point is: it is all useless without the whole package being perfect."
It creates an echo-chamber, of course... but ultimately, that's what people want.

Done right, it will allow diversity of opinion without turning the comment section into an unreadable ranting mess.

Do you really want to read a commentator who post the same screed about republicians or democrats on every story?
Worth it. I recommend the book to every entrepreneur I meet, it will help so much and save so much pain.
I've never gotten into Vim, but a friend said something that piqued my interest.

Editing text is boring. Programming is fun. Vim makes text editing like programming.
I don't think North Korea has the electrical capacity to mine cryptocurrencies. They don't have enough electricity to keep their cities lit at night.
I believe that's infeasible due to the nation's severe energy shortage.
Unless you have a twin... that's probably OK.
Ease of use is probably most important. I didn't like that the first demo phone failed!
FWIW, I spend a lot of money on Reddit ads, and was not confused. I was well aware that subreddit visitors are included for targeting even some time after they leave the subreddit and are elsewhere on site.

Thanks for your team's work on the new self-serve platform!
> I don't really trust myself to run a CA competently...

You don't have to deal with any of the issues of public CAs because you control all the machines, running one in a corporate environment is no issue at all and there are plenty of existing products that will do almost all of the work for you.

> you have to get your config onto every device on the network

Which is a single task in an Ansible playbook, Puppet module, or Task in the Windows Task Sequence.

> you have to get your config onto all of them somehow

Usually not, you just need to get your CA on all the devices that are going to connect to your hosted services.
I'm sorry, but a country of 25 million people is "dodging sanctions" with tens of millions of dollars in bitcoins?

That's not really an amount of money to dodge much of anything at all.
Edward Snowden leaked classified information and ran to the Russians with classified information. The man is a coward.

Daniel Ellsberg is a hero.
They did give examples. The Miami Herald, which uses Facebook comments. PBS Frontline which uses Discus, and Omnivision or something...which I couldn't find any comments. lol

> perhaps showing examples
Ironically people who look like you to humans tend to be a further away to biometrics.

I've worked on a few facial biometric systems in the past and the false positives were really shocking about 65% of them were cross sex and virtually none of them looked alike.

People tend to look at different flesh centric facial features and things like hair style, eye color and overall superficial appearance is what we see.
Biometrics see distance between various points like eyes, nose bridge cheek bones etc we tend to actually overlook those fine features when it comes to doppelgängers.

From friends that still work in the field gate analysis seems to have the lowest rate of false positives yet so maybe IPhone X2 will require you to dance to unlock.
If they provide an avenue for topical and reasonable discourse, then yes.

People (at least some people) tend toward the need for discourse to temper and test their ideas. I mean, you're commenting on HN.
I think DirtyCOW (CVE-2016-5195) had been dormant in the kernel for a long time. If I remember correctly the PoC demonstrated writing on root-owned files. Might be relevant.

They did say to not enable Face ID if you have an "evil" twin, which is pretty jokey, but probably 100% true.
I've always been frustrated by the Washington Post comment system. Many articles have hundreds, perhaps more than a thousand comments. When I revisit an article, I can sort by newest/oldest/highest replies or something like that. I can go to my user profile, select "my comments" and view my recent comments (though not in the context of the article they came from). For the comments I left where someone replied to me, I have no way to reply to them, other than to return to the article and hit "show more comments" 100 times and locate my comment and the reply so I can reply in turn.

I hope the new system fixes that. It is otherwise about impossible to hold a conversation, so it reduces the incentive to leave a comment in the first place.
It's even on the linked wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question#Modern_us...
Telescreen X! Now with an improved backdoor!! Buy now!!!
I think it's just very subtle sarcasm that these are dangerous thoughts in a world where thought-crime is real.
I consider biometric data a keepalive, nothing more. Any biometric system that doesn't require a non biometric pass at some point after boot before the biometric becomes a means of device authentication is broken, to me.
Brilliant, plant it by the smoking areas where there's captive targets
The new watchOS 4 allows you to connect to (up to 2) Bluetooth LE sensors. That covers your use case.
Samsung has a Truetone display now? Don't think so. Samsung puts great components together in a good package then hobbles them with bad decisions, bloatware and incomplete features.
Agree with everything you said. But if you're running for 90 minutes let's say, checking in on the last 1 minute average heart rate should be quite sufficient to set your pace.

And I certainly expect the app would easily be able to show you average watts vs heart rate over time. Given weight, height, pace via GPS, and heart rate for every run you could definitely do the necessary analytics.
> Let’s take a step back and consider the ultimate biometric identifier of you as a person: your DNA.

It's not. DNA is exactly the same for identical twins, whereas their iris, faces and fingerprints are different.
> Interviewer turns out to not even understand the concept of resolving disagreements by appealing to agreed-upon facts

That's a wonderful description of an attitude I have encountered many times.
Meanwhile the right merrily balkanises and wins elections over and over because their people are whipped up by their echo chambers about death panels or pizza shop pedophiles or made up controversy du jour.

The opposition can take the moral high road all the way to irrelevance.

As a counter point.

The NYT's job is to sell subscriptions. Faux 'balance' isn't going to sell one subscription to a Trump voter.
I hope the OLED display used in the iPhone X doesn't use PWM, unlike Samsung.

LG OLED TV's seem nice as well, although I haven't looked at them for a long period of time.
If the article is written in a way that isn't honest, I expect the top comment to describe how, and I expect the top comment to that to be a rebuttal. The best comment doesn't always reach the top, but it often does, and it's usually somewhere to be found. The exceptions are usually found in heavily moderated or highly specialized forums.
Yep, cold destroys battery capacity. You need to keep the device next to your skin.
Lol, Samsung's watches still don't have the value and usability of the first Apple Watch.
i probably charge mine every two weeks. amazing product.
If they didn't, HN wouldn't exist. ;)
I'm certainly not an expert on the capabilities of North Korea, but my intuition says that if they can build a hydrogen bomb, they can power a few shipping containers full of ASICs.

My impression was that they aren't electrified because it isn't a national priority for them to be, not because they lacked the capable to develop the infrastructure.
They knocked another $50 off it as well, now starts at $350 - Damn good deal.
I would expect the same as you, though the man page isn't terribly specific in that regard.
Better than the Garmin triathlon watch series? (920XT, 735, 935, etc)
>"Bloomberg is a fairly respectable entity, they just don't do the bidding of arbitrary 'big corps' against other 'arbitrary big corps'"

Firstly there is not one "Bloomberg." There are many different Bloomberg companies and Bloomberg News regularly publishes questionable and fluffy pieces. See:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/josh-nelson/bloomberg-news-ref...

You might also want to look up Randolph Hearst and the term Yellow Journalism if you are so naive to believe that "respectable newspapers" whatever that means don't publish propaganda. See also Judith Miller and how the NYTimes, another "respectable paper" sold the Iraq War if you're still not convinced that propaganda pieces are a real thing:

>"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."

I am not your friend and honestly you seem like a troll. Bloomberg does not need Google. Bloomberg is foremost a very successful financial services company and software company. And as distant third a media company. Bloomberg L.P does billions of dollars in revenue a year selling service to the financial industry. They do not need Google search results at all. Maybe you should read up on Bloomberg L.P a bit. So no, they don't "live and die by Google results."
Needs aren't as profitable.

Yes I always forget, this forum is for serious discussion of 10x'ing only.
Usernames are fixed values and are generally public. Biometrics are also fixed values and are generally only slightly less public. They're both identifiers.

Passwords can be changed and are secrets. They're authenticators.

The difference between them is exactly the difference between identifiers and authenticators. Misunderstanding this difference causes tons of issues, in a wide variety of situations. The most notable one recently is probably Social Security Numbers being used as both, which leads to identity theft.
Yeah, my taxes always just summarize capital gains as "various" on Sched. D.
Here in WA, it seems that for single- and double-digit numbers, people usually prepend the prefix - so it's also I-5, not just 5; and I-90, not 90.

But for multi-digit, it's virtually never there - it's 405 and 520 (without "the"!), not I-405 and WA-520.

Now that I think about it, it's probably not so much about the number of digits, as it is about the number of words. So I-90 gets the prefix because "ninety" is a single word, but I-95 somehow sounds strange.
I agree with this. Sensationalism and conflict sells papers / ads. The comments section is just a reflection of the standard of the journalism business today. I would predict that any comment technology that lowers page views, even if it makes the conversation better, will be abandoned.

I would go one step further though, the news tries to make everything emotional (it obvious by the loaded words they use). Any emotional discussion can't be rational, almost by nature.
> The idea behind the blog and the website is to find a new a job, so it would be a place to show what I am capable at. My interest and work is around data science and data engineering.

Don't even bother with a website. Get a domain and just have it redirect to your GitHub. Pin the best projects you have and then change your about on Github to have your email.

Done. If the goal is to get a job a website is a distraction IMO. Focus on getting stuff done. A website is valuable for the long game, but if you want a job in the next 6 months I'd go with the above advice.
Someone has already built a measuring tape app out of this thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQpEWv9_6Cg. Not exactly mapping as you're describing, but it's an interesting use case.
Sure, I'm a poor craftsman in this regard; I don't solder enough to ever be good at it. But, really, when you've gotta wait 15 minutes for it to heat up, and then after a few joints you have to wait some more because it cooled off in the process...really, is it a good, or even usable, tool?

I merely found it difficult to use the cheap pencil iron to get good results, because good results required a lot more out of me, mostly in the form of patience waiting for it to get hot. Also, I suspect cheap tools have gotten worse since 1991. I have cheap tools I bought in that era that are higher quality than the same brand/model today.

Nonetheless, it's just good advice to use good tools if you do something often. And, sometimes it's good advice to use good tools even if you don't do it often, but expect to do it again in the future (I find myself working on things that require soldering every couple of years, but expect that'll be true for the rest of my life, so I might as well use a decent iron to do it...it's not like they stop working after being stored for a year).
I've only found a couple of instances where Atom was slow:

1. On startup, it seems to take "forever" - but I can be patient for it

2. When having multiple files open that are really long; this may be due to linting or something, I'm not sure currently

And yes, memory usage is insane...
