It's a famous story/finding. Vietnam soldiers who were actively addicted to heroin and came back to the States simply stopped.

Obviously you can only become addicted to what is available and opiates are being made available through prescription. But the fact that so many people are susceptible to addiction is a completely different problem.

The huge social changes of 19th century led to the same problem with alcohol. And well meaning activists did try to solve it by banning alcohol. Prohibition did work to some extent. But what really made a difference was an improvement in people's lives, a change in the environment for the better: more rooted, connected communities, less financial stress, migrant work, etc.

Drug addicts are addicts because of their environment first and drugs second. (Some genetic disposition exists as well, of course.)
Can't tell 100%, but it looks as if you will still need a companion iPhone as the "master" device. So, you won't be able to use the watch as a stand-alone phone.

Actually it could easily be stolen out of your hand by someone on a bike.
Yeah but the protection only applies to facebook. You can still sue github and everyone else. We can clearly conclude that facebook is selfishly doing this for their own benefit and not because of an altruistic reason like a world without patents.

So in reality what you're saying means: "If you sue facebook with any patent, I’m happy you lose that ability. If you sue any other company other than facebook, I’m happy you keep that ability."

> Windows was patched in July. Google has provided a patch for Android. Therefore, Linux is the only one left to make an announcement.

For some reason, this vuln was not promptly disclosed to the Kernel security team. From the article:

Google – Contacted on April 19, 2017
Microsoft – Contacted on April 19, 2017
Apple – Contacted on August 9, 2017
Linux – Contacted August 15 and 17, 2017

Oh, and the most amusing one:

Samsung – Contact on three separate occasions in April, May, and June. No response was received back from any outreach.

It uses a depth sensor. And they have trained the neural networks to prevent using 3d printed masks instead of the real face. I guess they are using depth-ir-powered-video instead of still photos.

How about sending (by email) a link to a proof-of-work-website, so the hash function can be computed in javascript/wasm in a browser?

Anyway, I agree on the waste of time+energy.
This probably a knowing lie. At the very least it is hypocritical. JPM trades gold, which is no more or less of a "fraud" than cryptocurrency. If you compare the total market in gold with that of bitcoin, you can't even say bitcoin, or cyptocurrencies as a class, are in a valuation bubble.
During the presentation, they mentioned that if you have an evil twin, you should probably use a passcode, so I'm assuming that the acceptable range for recognizing is larger than the ranges of difference between identical twins.
I don't have a better way to say this. Trust me, I've tried to find one.

Science has, in many ways, taken on some of the characteristics of religion. You either believe or you're a heretic. Which, sort of, I agree with. If you don't believe in the results of the scientific method, you may wish to reexamine your life.

However, a lot of what is published under the name of science hasn't actually followed the scientific method. You get people who believe in the strangest things.

A recent example was someone who told me that the oceans were going to rise by 57' by 2050. Now, I'm firmly in the belief of AGW camp. I pointed out that they were wrong and that no models suggested such a thing and that their citation had no citations, other than an article in some newspaper.

I provided link after link. I explained that I am not a climate scientist, but a mathematician. I explained that I'd actually run the models locally, just to learn more. I explained the process, the data collection methods, and even why the data is adjusted.

They decided I was a 'denier' and a Trump voter - quite literally, they called me a 'science denying Trump voter.'

I was baffled.

Later, I'd bump into them again, at the same site. This time, I explained that science was a philosophy. Of course, I provided the citation for this and even went so far as to take the time to explain what Ph.D. actually means.

They went ballistic, so to speak. Oh, the names they called me.

This is not an isolated case, they had others chiming in. It wasn't until several days later when someone finally noticed and chimed in to support me, but it was of no use.

That person is a science believer. I can't tell them to stop believing in science. However, it has the hallmarks of a religion, it's certainly a belief system. No, being a belief system isn't a bad thing.

I don't have the answers, but this is a problem. Sorry for the verbosity, but I haven't a better way to describe it, nor a better descriptive term than religion.
If you don't want to wait, we launched a study with UCSF Cardiology which showed 97% accuracy at detecting atrial fibrillation in May:

The $300 gets you status in a restaurant/bar/club, that's all.
You're still ignoring the fact that the effective rate depends on the company type. The US is a great market for international companies because they can hire educated US workers to design their products and then manufacture elsewhere and sell those products to US consumers, in a way that most of the profits go to offshore subsidiaries. And so we have a lot of those companies here and it brings down the average.

But the US is quite horrible for small and medium sized companies who actually do pay the high nominal rates because they have no foreign subsidiaries to park profits in.
AI Is the Future Cyber Weapon of Internet Criminals
As a devoted NoScript user, I find it ironic I had to enable scripts from about 35 websites, including some places that have been known to serve malvertising.

If I hadn't been looking for the irony of a large Financial Corporation trying to external the costs of cybersecurity on the customers, I probably wouldn't have enabled any JavaScript from any of those sites. Jamie Dimon is not that compelling of a speaker, nor does he have new imaginative things to say.

He's just spouting truisms and platitudes. He's clearly looking to externalize infosec costs, maybe on customers, maybe on other corporations. What a load of baloney.
I'm happily using the iPhone SE. I switched from an iPhone 6 because I like the form factor of the iPhone 5. I too wish that they would update the SE, but in all honesty it is powerful enough with the right camera specs and it is a perfect traveler camera... For now, I'm staying put. I also still love using the headphone jack.

This is the first time I have actually wanted an Apple Watch. My first iPhone was a 4, and by then it was pretty damn good. This watch feels that way too.

The issues raised in the article may explain why Apple just added the ability to passcode-lock your device by pressing the power button 5 times.

Though people have been raising similar issues about biometric identification for years. See this article from back when TouchID was released 2013, titled Fingerprints are Usernames, not Passwords. http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2013/10/fingerprints-are-user...

A company with 100 employees losing an employee costs them ~1% of their revenue until a replacement can be found.

An employee losing their employer loses ~100% of their revenue until a replacement is found.

The two are nowhere near equivalent.

On the other hand, when employees unionize, a company with 100 employees stands to lose ~100% of their revenue if employees choose to strike. That puts the two sides on an even footing.

Learning Vim -- even the smallest subset of it -- will continue to pay off years into the future! Then you can combine it with existing Atom/Sublime/VSCode keymaps where need be and really have a nice fusion of functionality.

(VSCode vim mode is A+ btw)
There exist good licenses that extend a patent grant in a reasonable manner. Facebook went off and wrote their own version that is asymmetrical in their favor. Also, lawyers seem to agree that most OSS that don't include a patent grant are giving an implicit patent grant, and this explicit grant is worse for the developer than the implicit one (while being better for Facebook.)
Can't speak for WaPo but the New York Times comments sections are absolutely dominated by a handful of designated 'top commenters' who rush to post on any major story.

Sometimes their comments are good, but then there's the guy who writes a poem every single time, or 'Socrates' who posts the same cookie-cutter 'blame-the-GOP-all-the-way-back-to-bush' comment with the most dramatic rhetoric possible, trolling for likes of course.

Having said that, I'm pretty satisfied with the Times comment system, everyone does get a voice even though the top comments are absolutely fixed.

Not sure if they mean Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. VSCode is an Electron-based editor similar to Atom; full-fat Visual Studio does support many languages by itself, but it's Windows only.
They're trying to to detect heart issues in people who don't otherwise have any reason to suspect they have them. Given that the heart rate monitor isn't even accurate enough to be useful for exercising[1], it seems unlikely you'd want to rely on this if you already know you have an issue.

When you record your face for the unlock, strike a pose that is not your default expression. Put your hand on your face with the sherlockian "hmmm" expression.

I'll agree that the name "Autopilot" seems to mislead people, but that is a complete side track. Neither the person I replied to nor the person he replied to were talking about the name; they were talking about the technology and whether it was responsible to release it at all, with any name. (For one clear example, the GGP criticized "releasing any kind of machine-assisted driving" with Autopilot's limitations.)
Annoyingly, my TV won't let you turn it /off/. Not only that, but it won't accept it's own panel's native resolution of 1366x768, only 1280x720 which it then scales up to crop off a bunch of pixels. It's like they were dedicated to making a 720p television look like blurry bigfoot butt.

That's not quite true, Japan has special 7 models (A1779 and A1785) with support for LTE bands 11 and 21 as well as FeliCa. And the iPhone 6 had the A1633 and A1634 only sold by and for AT&T which supported the LTE band 30 where models A1687 and A1688 did not.

There's an “Emoji Legend“ near the top of the article.

There is probably a 2bis category of people who know their value but do not like to interview and negotiate.
They will take or not what is given to them but it is a one shot proposition.

I usually tell companies that I really do not like to negotiate compensation because this is logistics to me and is not worth the effort. Either a company is good and gives the right pay or I pass. I tell this early enough so that there is no expectation of haggling.
So far it worked.
I run two email addresses: one business, one personal. As you may imagine, the emails I get between the two are quite different. I'm using Thunderbird and always, when given the choice, opt for plain text email. I find Thunderbird does a very good job of rendering HTML email legible (easy to read) and functional (links work, etc).

Perhaps once a month, maybe less, I have to use the toolbar button "Show HTML Temp" to do a one-off rendering of an email as basic HTML. Almost always the same offenders.

I find it such a success that I recommend it to my customers - none of which are computer experts, and most are not what I'd call "computer savvy". A process has to meet a high bar for me to recommend something like this to my customers.

Shame that when I explain how it can help in improving one's security that a vanishingly-small number of customers take me up on the offer!
Well, given how busy my Costco generally is, and how hard it is to maneuver with the people pushing large carts through the parking lot, my thoughts would be mixed. Initially it might be along the lines of "hmm, there are places less likely to get in people's way to do that..." For a less busy parking lot, it would probably be much more positive.

That said, I'm encouraged by the positive responses you say you've gotten. Maybe I'll give this a try.
It certainly isn't; it's killed by SIGPIPE after printing 50 lines. If I wanted to wait for the entire system log to read off of disk I'd be sitting for minutes.

Apple says that Touch ID's false positive rate is about 1 in 50,000: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204587

So the Apple Watch is in an accurate heart rate monitor? Or is high precision not needed for testing for this abnormality? I want highly accurate rate monitoring throughout the day, especially on long hikes.
Fine, but how can it possibly learn while I shave the beard off?
Hella strange.
That all depends on _where_ on the back of the phone. With my Nexus 6P, the fingerprint sensor is located right where my index finger naturally goes while holding the phone.

With a correctly located rear fingerprint sensor, it becomes an automatic motion without thinking rather than having to consciously find and press a button.
Phones are far from being done.

Really good because it walks you through every step and explains what's going on. The result is a version-controlled, robust, easy to maintain site that scales beautifully.
In the keynote they've said that for Touch ID the error ratio was significantly lower, 1:50,000 to be exact.
I always thought that the leaks were deliberate to create media hype around the products.
I politely disagree. People are free to believe what they want. Belief should be optional. Reality doesn't much care what people believe. I'm not big on forcing people to think a certain way, nor am I sure how one would enforce such.

I've owned one phone with wireless charging and I have no particular need for another one. It'll be handy if it becomes ubiquitous - put the phone on a pad at the coffee shop is more convenient than carrying a cable to plug in to a USB outlet - but a relatively minor thing for me.

I'm often not at my desk at work, so when I am, I want wired so it charges as fast as possible. Additionally, both for during the day and at night, charging with a wire has the big convenience advantage of being able to use the phone while charging it.
I don't see how this is a change from other identifications methods (passcode, fingerprints). If someone is ready to use unlawful violence to get your phone, you have no real way of avoiding it.
That's the same in FreeBSD:

> (The algorithm used is to try	a name server, and if the query	times out, trythe next, until out of	name servers, then repeat trying allthe name servers until	a maximum number of retries are	made).

So it seems there is a de facto standard for the default libraries in some *NIX OSes?
They still may, I hope. The SE was first released in March (2016), and it has been selling like hot-cakes... or very well, at a minimum. Having a iPhone on an alternative release schedule seems smart as well.

edit: to add the date of release.

Competitor Analysis. Identifying and establishing criterion of quality
The phone is how you configure, update, etc. the watch. So I'm betting you need a phone for all the initial setup, and then you can leave your phone at home and go on a marathon run and take phone calls while you are out and about.
Agree with you there - drive an hour in the UK and the accent and slang could be completely different (e.g. Manchester to Liverpool), whereas in the US you could easily still be in the same state.
Placing my phone next to my 30" monitor and bluetooth keyboard/mouse should make the macOS VM running on my iPhone X resume from hibernate and just start running.

The more interesting thing is how tightly connected the macOS VM could be with the iOS VM (I use the term VM here loosly, they could easily be containers living side-by-side and not within a literal hypervisor).

For example, are there two processes running 'Mail' and two copies of every message so that iOS and macOS Mail apps are both working? Do I have to configure them both separately to connect to my accounts? That would be quite silly.

If you can get the two OSs sharing resources but still effectively providing desktop sized vs phone sized user interfaces that could be something quite powerful.
Not so much that they didn't black it out, that the notch was a notch in the first place.

I get having a screen to the edge of the phone is "cool" there is a half inch of black on the top of the iPhone 7, cutting it down to a 1/4 of an inch or whatever it is on the X and not going to the edge would have been perfectly sane... right?!

Edit: It wasn't a shout, so much as a dumbfounded exclamation. In retrospect, I should have table flipped and yelled "Im switching to a Nokia!"
