> China, Japan, S.E.A.: Surgical masks against smog, or to avoid spreading germs. Northern Europe, Canada, Northern US: Winter clothing that covers the face to avoid the cold temperatures

I am thinking that there will be the ability to program recognition with clothing that you own (color, texture) if you want to accept the risk. For most people I don't think they will be worried about something that has some of the same facial features stealing their phone. After all not everything will be blocked. And for that matter you can't do touch ID with gloves on, right?

> Middle East: Religious clothing for women hiding their faces.

Nothing to prevent a third party from offering a device which also allows touch id or simply using the alternate unlock. After all I don't think the amount of women hiding their faces in middle east countries means that the rest of us can't have this feature. How much business will they lose? In the end this is a business decision not a social one.

> Sunglasses covering the entire eyes, making it impossible to see if you’re looking at the screen (which is a requirement for FaceID unlock).

Once again will probably be able to allow use of sunglasses that you own with facial features that you have. Sure chance that someone could spoof you but for most of us not really a big threat. And someone needs the phone to do so and needs to know what you have programmed in as far as your clothing.
Ask Mustafa Kemal; IIRC he put the Turks through a similar process (arabic script to latin alphabet) in the 1920s....
Fellow Scandinavian here. Apple has talked a lot about privacy and security in last couple of years, both on stage and off stage. I'd even go as far ans say it's probably one of the topics they've been most vocal about off-stage.

What's your specific privacy concern in relation to the presentation given?
Ah, I was just wondering if running a 144hz monitor at 60hz was like watching a 24fps movie at 30fps... if that makes sense? But the monitor can just switch its actual refresh rate.
They bought the company Primsense that did the original Kinect in 2013, seems obvious now why.
Its not that there are no consequences for safety incidents involving temp workers. It is more about company prestige and preserving the existing benefits of being an full team member. Both of the companies I worked for had very good safety records among all workers in the facility, most serious incident in years was a severed thumb.

American companies generally have good safety records and a good regulatory environment. Contracting the riskier jobs is mostly done to safeguard the company's image, or it is like other contracted jobs and is done for cost savings or temporary work. With forklift drivers, there was just always going to be some minor collision incident every month, and its easier for the big company bureaucracy if this doesn't count towards their accident statistic or if some other account can be billed for the damage. Its just risk aversion and risk management since the penalties are high for screw ups and protecting the image of the company treating its employees well. Also they could be paid at ~1/2 the total compensation of a team member.
I don't know if this differs from country to country, but the vast majority of iPhones I observe are not in a case — probably at least 90%. The design is a major selling point, so I'm not surprised most people don't want to use a case.
There's YouTube videos of previous iPhones hanging out underwater for an hour with no problems. I think this is more of an official rating or whatnot.
They say that Face ID falsely recognizes 1 in 1,000,000 people (1 in 50,000 for Touch ID), but it's a lot easier to find the people who look like a given target to unlock their phone. Could be an issue if a mutual friend knows someone who looks enough like you to unlock your phone.
Exactly this, work would pay for it but I didn't ask, I already had a personal subscription and I use it at least as much outside of work as I do at work.
Couldn't they do the exact same thing with your fingerprint?
OK thanks for the answer.

I totally agree with first class functions, and I probably agree with the Python-style ability to read outer variables (especially in the case that the inner call doesn't survive longer than the outer call).

What I don't agree with is capturing locals to rebind them -- this is the explicit vs. implicit state argument.

So for #1 map/filter, I don't really see this as a use case for closures. It's more about function literals and first-class functions.

#2 I am on the fence about... I would be interested in examples. Like I said, with my somewhat limited JS experience, I understand why people like them, but I think you can do OK without mutating the surrounding scope. There's a distinction between calling a mutating method on an object in the surrounding scope, and actually rebinding something in the surrounding scope.

#3 might be convincing although I would need examples. The Go-style defer is scope-based which seems more limited than general closures. Python's context managers are sort of a syntactic sugar/protocol around using certain kinds of classes -- much in the same way that iterators are.

The other problem with closures it's not really one language feature -- they're different across languages. There is more than one issue with capture like the one with loops you mentioned in another comment. And, C++ now has closures, but there are a few different options with regard to LValues and RValues that I don't remember at the moment. It doesn't feel that solid to me, but I'll continue to play with it, and this chapter and some of the comments will certainly help.

On the one hand, it seems like a ton of code has been written in C++, Java, and Python without closures. On the other hand, C++ and Java both added some closure-like features in the last decade, and Python added nonlocal, so that's probably a trend. (But like I said I've never actually seen anyone use nonlocal, it feels like something done "for completeness" rather than based on actual usage.)
Is this really of any benefit though? I mean, the Slavic script is pretty well supported by most modern browsers and phones etc. Seems like they are focusing on an utterly stupid problem.

If some leaks can reduce the reaction to a product from magical to meh, perhaps the reaction was engineered by hype and not actual quality or features of said product.

To be concise, if something is truly groundbreaking, leaks don't diminish their value.
From the article she switched to the firm specifically with the understanding that her compensation would be much higher, and then they ended up reneging on the agreement as she understood it.

Engineering uses results from science to do it's magic. No transistors without understanding electricity and semiconductors.

But gravitational wave detection wasn't "just" engineering; there's a lot of theory to be done to figure out what signals to look for, how to interpret them etc.

I call BS on the "don"/"dawn" isogloss on the SF peninsula. If it ever did exist, it certainly doesn't anymore. There are no cultural or social groupings along that isoglass that would justify how that line is shaped. Where your parents are from and your socioeconomic status to have way more influence on whether or not you have a "don"/"dawn" distinction than whether you are from San Mateo or San Carlos.
The resolving proxy server that one sends queries to, from a client library (built into the C library or otherwise), is not a "leaf". This is the same erroneous mental model of the DNS that got the world the completely wrongheaded tool known as dnstracer, that bamboozled people for years.

* http://jdebp.eu./FGA/dnstracer-incorrect-algorithm.html

There is not a "chain" of servers, each passing on queries to the next one along. There is a resolving proxy DNS server that takes a front-end query, makes a bunch of back-end query+response transactions with content DNS servers, and stiches their results together to make the final front-end response.

* http://jdebp.eu./FGA/dns-query-resolution.html

The aforementioned DNS client library can be given the IP addresses of multiple such resolving proxy DNS servers, but there has not been one single conventional order of querying them for far longer than systemd has been around. Different DNS client libraries do it in different ways. nslookup's internal DNS client library does something different to the ISC DNS client library that forms part of many C libraries, as I have already pointed out in this discussion.

The whole "chain of servers" model is one of the commonest misunderstandings of the DNS, in my personal fairly long experience of people with DNS problems. It is quite wrong.
I used build your own lisp to learn C (along with other stuff) I liked it, except I dont think its the best way to learn to develop languages.
You're incorrect because you are imprecise.

Banks can AND do create M2, M3, etc.

When they give you a loan, the money got created according to fractional reserve requirements.

If you mean they cannot create currency, then you would be correct, but you said money and did not specify if you meant M0, M1, M2, etc.

Actually the Federal Reserve, which is a private bank, has complete control over currency too. The currency and money supply of the USA has been outsourced to a private unelected entity.
Just gotta keep climbing this mountain, before we reach the cliff on the other side.
For same reason why people comfortable to pay for their car maintenance might be? There is always hidden cost of owning something and everyone can decide whatever they want to take a risk or not. Many of us here buy high-end PC hardware even if we know in 2 years it's price will likely drop up to 2-3 times so I don't see why phones are any different.

Also personally over last 10 years I lived in different parts of the world including Europe and Asian countries and worse and none of my devices or personal things were ever stolen and I only break few devices. So might be it's just less of problem for some especially considering many people rarely go outside of their usual home / office or travel to countries with high risk of theft.
Free upgrade to 4K is pretty awesome. I'm still trying to accept that DRM-free isn't going to happen with video, and at least moves like this make me feel a _little_ better about it.
What we call a phone will evolve. Some great communication device or method will come about.

Pocket computers are pretty handy though. Maybe it will evolve into wrist computers or necklaces or something. The smart watches are coming along, but they all have the problem of screen real estate.

To be fair, phones have it too, but with the various zoom features and "readability" modes, they work around it.

I think we'll have something akin to the smartphones (whether or not they include a phone feature) until we have portable, practical, hands-free displays.

It will probably be a fashion accessory that rasters directly on the retina.
My grandfather was a master carpenter, he had a saying I've always liked "If you use something for more than an hour a day buy the best you can afford".

I've never minded paying for developer tools as long as I could afford them, lots of professionals spend a lot more than we do on tools/professional development.
I am curious why is hackernews always so happy and obsessed with lisp, there is almost daily a lisp post on the frontpage. I dont really care/mind but I am just curious as why people love lisp so much. The only thing that I notice about Lisp are the bracket jokes and memes.
Which is great if you're able to do that before someone snatches your phone and aims the camera at your face to unlock it.
I don't have much to add, only to say that I generally agree.

I first started creating custom roms for the Sprint HTC Hero when it came out in 2009. It was my first Android phone and I was in love with everything about it. I was obsessed with getting the next new phone with new features every time a new one came out. I made pretty good money and saved most of it; buying new phones was the one thing I would splurge on.

Now it's 2017 and I have had the same phone for just under 2 years. Previously I wouldn't go 6 months without buying a new phone, so having the same one for 2 years seems like a lifetime. But I just don't feel like I have a reason to get a new one.

It feels like the same thing over and over again.
You are just taking the literal meaning of the words not what they are actually being used for. In this case, evolution means the type of small incremental updates that we have been slowly getting disappointed by for the past few years. Yea literally evolution includes revolution but saying that doesn't add anything to the discussion.
Features I'm curious how they work on the new iPhone.

1) Touch status bar to scroll to the top of the page(my favorite iPhone feature).

2) Locking the screen. I'm assuming the double tap and Siri don't interfere with this.
Right, but I was saying it probably uses an IR _source_ to illuminate your face in the dark. Then again, humans probably just emit enough IR without it.
For the average user, definately not, I agree with you there.

For laptop and desktop computers this should be the standard in my opinion, at least 20 random chars if you value your privacy and care for security. Once your inside the system you can use a password manager to use passwords as long as possible without any notable impact on user expierience.

But I haven't said I'm the average user, and a six digit passcode just isn't secure I doubt you'd argue on that point?
Yes. FaceID just makes it easier, which was the OP's question.
You asked what justified the price bump, and he told you. Whether you care/will use the things that are raising the price is irrelevant. If you have no need for those features, then buy the cheaper version.
My huge employer does - UPS takes the cargo elevator but get access to the mailroom, inside secured the premise.

Come to think of it, couldn't a device just be hidden in a package? Like a small statue delivered to a bad address?
> I know enough to say that you just can't learn resilience

So based on your anecdotal experience you have concluded resilience cannot be learned? I find this statement ridiculous, especially considering science shows the opposite.

> The good news is that positive construal can be taught. “We can make ourselves more or less vulnerable by how we think about things,” Bonanno said. In research at Columbia, the neuroscientist Kevin Ochsner has shown that teaching people to think of stimuli in different ways—to reframe them in positive terms when the initial response is negative, or in a less emotional way when the initial response is emotionally “hot”—changes how they experience and react to the stimulus. You can train people to better regulate their emotions, and the training seems to have lasting effects.

Apple actually bought company (PrimeSense) that was responsible for Kinect sensor and it seems to work the same way. It's just impressive that they manage to fit it inside these size phone. Google tango devices are bigger.
I was wondering if the "shares a numbers" was to circumvent the device charge some carriers have. I would prefer this watch with no phone period.

if I can do that then I am in, but at its price point what is the need of a phone? is the run time too short?
Been saying this forever -- this is the next HUGE leap that I see. Steve Jobs wanted the iPad to be a small Mac rather than a big iPhone. For someone like me, there are still critical things missing from the iPhone for it to be my primary computing device.
Might vary with the make of the sunglasses, but I took an IR photo of a colleague wearing sunglasses, and on the photo the glasses were completely transparent. So the FaceID has a good chance to work with sunglasses.
Am I the only person not excited about the iPhone since the release of the 4s?
It's marketing BS.
How large is the preimage of conclusions that would lead to the mathematics of relativity? Is it improbable in light of that?

I should also say that physics has a better track record than softer sciences. But even in physics, things change.
I think it's good to leave that up to the app developer. They can choose to use the space around the notch or crop it.
I am a twin and me and my brother managed to fool windows hello. I plan on going to an Apple Store with my brother to see if FaceID can't be fooled.

I'm in a similar boat. I've moved ISPs a few times throughout the years, and each move it takes a few months to finally get things settled. I'm in the US, and had the best luck for deliverability when I was on a Comcast Business account.

My current ISP, a local fiber provider, was not great getting going. Most of the IPs that they have are in at least 1 spam database, and it took a while for the ISP to reach out to the database maintainers themselves. Even then, since they're a small ISP, the IPs are still blacklisted. The ISP wasn't even a company when the IPs were added to these blacklists.

After a few months they were able to assign me an IP that wasn't in a blacklist somewhere. I still randomly have issues with the big providers though - gmail is probably the most annoying. Like dozzie, my SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setups are all valid.

Overall, I really enjoying running my own mail server. Every now and then there are a few annoyances, but it's worth it in the long run.
Off topic. I posted this same link right when the page was live and it got flagged. This seems to be the only iPhone X link on HN now, but was posted 20 mins after mine. What caused mine to be flagged? Not mad, just curious :)

It's not that it would work by accident, it would be more like it works by a principle to which our physics is a good enough approximation.
I think that's mostly due to inconsistent terminology, with maybe a sprinkling of windows file paths. I think if most people used sed for a week they'd figure out which one goes between sections and which one escapes characters pretty quickly, even if they didn't know which one was the "back"slash.
I think that was the expectation a few generations ago, once TVs were in most people's homes, but it didn't happen. I recall seeing a headline for a study a couple of years ago that said that regional accents were actually getting stronger.
Yeah, the 6P has a famously bad battery lifecycle. Many people's moderately aged phones just start shutting off even though it reports 30%+ battery remaining. Google has been pretty good about replacing them if you bought directly from them though and they recently just started giving people brand new Pixel XLs.

I assume they are doing this mostly because of an inventory surplus combined with "Pixel 2" less than a month away but it's still nice of them to do it even though these phones are a year out of warranty for a lot of people getting these replacements. Even with the Pixel 2 out they could likely sell the older Pixels for a few hundred bucks.
Haha, everyone always says that. Ever since the first iPhone and first MacBook Pro...11 years and not a damn thing. Superstitions are really dumb.
His point is that the argument about children competing with career priorities is an argument used almost exclusively against women. As it says in the article, she has a husband who doesn't work.

Goodbye privacy? A phone that can be unlocked with your face = easy enough for cops to snoop on you. No need for a password, just taking your phone and pointing it at your face unlocks it.
Just because someone "looks like" your target to you doesn't mean they're similar enough to fool whatever algorithms the iPhone is using.
It's just marketing BS. Like the "Bionic" chip. It doesn't officially mean anything, but it sounds cool.

Many locations of both already have this and have for quite some time. But you're right; maybe this will speed up their deployment of wireless charging.

It was really cool to be able to go into a Starbucks and, while waiting for a drink, drop my Android on the table in front of me and let it charge. Now we just need to get laptops on board with this.
I feel completely the same way. I have appreciated the control Google has given us now as well with being able to manage some of the data stored on us. I know they see everything I do, but between the well-working product and ~illusion of~ control, they have me. On the other hand, it will take a lot for me to trust Microsoft again.
