Small nitpick, but it's 5 taps to disable Touch ID and Face ID.
Switch-cost between what? Vim has worked pretty well for me for all programming languages I've used and on all platforms I've used. I reread grandparents comment and I'm a bit unsure what you are referring to exactly.
> Imagine you know someone in the public eye, let's say a musician, with their own website. They enable comments

In my mind it would be the users, not the site owners that would enable the comments.

> People are posting a high amount of offensive content. What do you advise that this musician does?

My advice in this case would be to create a moderator stream that the end users can subscribe to. Perhaps some mechanisms could be put into the system to make it easy for site owners to suggest a "default" moderation stream that the end-users can opt-in to.

In this case the site owners would be able to moderate comments through voluntary cooperation with its users, but it wouldn't be able to censor opinions that it didn't agree with, because the end users would always be in control of how its stream is filtered and would always be able to verify that on-topic posts aren't censored.
Not to mention this whole society which expects everything for free has made it very hard for a small company to get into the market and innovate.

If you think about how much money you can make from a professional tool and how much productivity it gains you then the price should be a no brainier.
> You can just collapse it.

Yeah, but I've usually swiped down and I don't know if its worth going back up to collapse it.

Default sorting by category would be nice, push the funnies down and pull the interesting ones up.
This, and make some metaphorical noise. I'd also check for contract verbiage that allows them to make these changes without notice. And I'd document everything.
Id love to get the Apple Watch for the heart rate and fitness functionality, but I don't believe they have addressed the tattoo issue yet. Certainly hadn't in the Apple Watch 2...

Anyone know?

Neither Touch ID nor passwords keep determined intruders out. If someone really wants to know what's on your phone, they will arrest/kidnap you and threaten you with prison/violence.

Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) requires an iPhone 6 or later with iOS 11 or later. Apple Watch and iPhone service provider must be the same.

You still need a phone, you just don't have to carry it around.
You may have got confused with both the percentage and with the fact that we require "greater than four sigma above the mean" rather than "greater than four sigma away from the mean".
That would scare me as advertiser. I don't want my ads on certain sub-reddits.
> pop out when running

There are many different ways wireless headphones prevent that from happening.

> wired headphones have a convenient wire tethering them to one's phone

The wire is convenient if you tend to drop them to the floor, which won't happen to most wireless headphones. But it's hateful if it yanks them from your ears, as is sometimes the case when you're exercising.
Ok, I take that back then. Vim/emacs only have a weight/speed advantage then.

I do, however, find it useful that I can be ssh'd into a machine, doing stuff in bash, and I can fire up vi. I suppose that's a separate discussion though.
This 8/X split is confusing me. Is one supposed to be higher/lower end? Or are they just different?
Apple has a great return policy, "they don't fit comfortably" seems like a very valid reason to return to me if you don't like them.
I'm on a MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM and I usually have Atom running ~5 projects with multiple tabs of source code open on each. I've left them open for days or even weeks and have not noticed any type lag.

I wonder why you get type lag, maybe you're working with really large files?
A very reasonable nitpick! thanks :)
With more than 6M daily users, Slack opens up cross-organization teams
In the Bay Area, between those two, what I often hear is "I took 101 to San Francisco" or "101 was mobbed so I took 280" or "did you come down 85 or 280 to 101?" no 'i' no 'highway' no definite article.
I'm not so sure about that. Even though the iPhone 4 got HARD leaked, it was still such a diverge from the competition when Steve and Co keynoted it.

All of the X leaks had me wondering "I hope they have more to this because this is effectively a S8;" the keynote didn't change my opinion.
Welp staying with my SE
We place intraosseous (IO) lines as a crash line during cardiac arrests when we don't already have adequate access. Done right, they permit resuscitation without as much delay as gaining central venous access would require.
Why do't you just open a warranty claim and have Apple send you a new one? Takes about 60 seconds on the website or in the apple support app.
The skins were pretty thin and I assumed they'd dry out too quickly given the surface area to volume ratio, notwithstanding the measures taken for long-term storage. But you would know much better than me, as I have no domain knowledge whatsoever.

All I know for sure is that they tasted fresh--dense, crisp, and juicy--and didn't seem to be covered in much, if any, wax. The price partly seemed to reflect an abundance given that we're in apple picking season; and partly reflect their relatively small size, even for galas, and odd coloring--strangely yellowish (I checked the stickers and the labels twice).
It's funny how the thread has three times more comments that votes. It's like everyone is in a rush to say something but they forget to upvote the story. Shouldn't upvoting be automatic when you comment in a thread?

I may not have chosen to have the aptitude to write code, but I did choose to go to college to better learn how to do it. I also chose to work very hard in my industry to advance. Had this come with zero financial rewards I probably wouldn't have done those things.

Do you actually believe this or are you just saying something striking to illustrate an underlying principle?
This shows a correlation between death, and reduced movement before death. Pardon the obvious!

You would expect that many of the 340 subjects who died might have died, rather than accidentally, due to some progressively deteriorating condition which reduced their movement for a substantial period of time; perhaps years.

We don't know whether the onset of death produced less mobility or vice versa.

A relationship between sedentary lifestyle and mortality requires a very long term study. Like following large number s of people from age 18 (if not earlier) onward, and correlating levels of physical activity with life span.
Many phones at the time had web browsers, games, bluetooth support, played MP3s, et cetera. Look at the Motorola Razr as an example. They were smartphones.
Replaced due to damage or due to loss?
I think that's something that you'll have to find out for yourself. One potential outcome would be that you lose your inner peace in an attempt to display your lack of control over a situation (or whatever emotions people believe you display).

But you bring up a very important matter, which seems to be more pronounced now with ubiquitous social media (more people having an outlet to act): many people seem to believe those who act "emotional" - eg. frightened, angry, happy - even if that act is a fraud. I think this is a major problem. Those acting the lie would disagree, but it can result in our resources being directed towards dead-end or harmful ways (such as efforts that benefit the deceiver most of all), especially at a time when our collective priorities matter so much.

My humble opinion would be to be true to yourself, and direct your attention and energy towards constructive actions, whenever possible.
X is the flagship phone, and it's implied that it's the beginning of a new line of phones (the same way OS X was the beginning of a new line of operating systems, breaking with MacOS 9). 8 is the latest generation of the traditional iPhone line, succeeding the iPhone 7.
they explicitly talk about how they worked with extremely detailed mask makers to ensure that sort of thing doesn't happen.
It's the same for ATT and Verizon.
Depends on the modern smartphone, I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and it has amazingly good battery life (much better than my company-supplied Samsung Galaxy S8), I can sometimes go two days without charging.

They do cheat with ridiculous background app-killing "features" though (I've tweaked it to my liking and now prefer it)
What do you expect them to fill them with, marshmallow fluff? The 8 and the 5s have incredibly different dimensions, and batteries, screens, etc all have mass...
I'm glad you enjoyed it but I should have you know that Apple is using a Samsung display and Samsung has been leading the pack in OLED display technology for at least the last 5 years. In fact, the S8 has a crisper screen than the X with its Super Retina display (570 ppi vs 471 ppi)
I work for a Major ISV and I get a commission.

How it works is there are various clip rates

0-80%
80-100%
100%+

On 0-80 I get a percentage of the deal, on 80-100% I get a percentage and there is a small multiplier and above 100% I get a larger percentage and a significantly improved multiplier.

My quota is divided quarterly and yearly; the incentive is set out that if you overachieve on a couple quarters, I might exceed my "On Target Earnings" even though I didn't hit the yearly number.

You are correct that the Sales Engineer does a lot of the heavy lifting; and in most cases we are the deal -- without us selling the technical, the deal usually doesn't get done. So should we get paid the same as the Account Executive? No Freakin Way.

The purpose of the Account Exec isn't to close a deal; that's table stakes. The purpose of the Account Exec is to open doors and exceed quota, 100% quota attainment isn't a high-five moment as the expectation is 110%+. Take a good hard look at the sales people you know and look where they are and where they have been -- these people are hired for their contacts and usually once they have exhausted their contact list they are done and they move on to the next organization unless they are exceptional at developing new pipeline and new relationships.

I've seen firms go through 2x Account Execs in a year because they weren't hitting the numbers fast enough; that wont happen with a Sales Engineer we get a lot of job stability and protection but we wont get a 30% commission.
Awesome Ionic Theme! congrats man!!
Thanks for the heads up. I wasnt aware of the changes. Reddit had proven to be a good ad platform for my clients (I do media buys for others). Will have to reconsider using it.

How does that make sense? If I have $1000 of BTC and exchange it for $1000 of ETH, why would I ever need to pay taxes on that?
They have a "Mesh Extender" which uses 900 MHz ISM band radios for ~4 km range, and can be connected to an external HF radio if you have a HAM license. It even implements store-and-forward so you can send messages to people who are wandering in and out of range.
what if you dont sell, what if you move it to one of your own accounts or pay some else in "coin". This is a bit complicated than "capital gains".
Talk to your cellular provider and ask them to provide this service for free. You're typically paying less than the price of a latte per month which seems quite reasonable.
At a minimum TouchID/FaceID/Similar tech, helps users that are too lazy or technically challenged or don't consider setting a passcode due to various other reasons (for e.g:- old people who have memory/Alzheimer's etc.,) provide for a some kind of security. Its better than not having any security at all.

Indeed - and the reverse is also true:) I'm a SoCal native (now in San Jose) and it drives me crazy when I'm listening to traffic reports and they refer to "the Bayshore freeway" and the "Nimitz freeway." Aargh.
>Open source software does not have this, and nowhere does the author suggest that should be the case

"the underlying reason is political, and it’s pretty simple: Big corporations have poured large amounts of money into our political system, helping to create a regulatory environment in which consumers shoulder more and more of the risk, and companies less and less."

The author is suggesting a political solution. Regulation. Laws that say "Your open source license can't exempt you from a, b, c, d."

You could then exempt yourself from lawsuit in your open source license, but that will be automatically void, like a non-compete clause in a California employment contract. Struts would be sued for the breach in her imagined world.
A lot from when? In the 80s, a woman couldn't get a credit card w/o her husband co-signing. That's a pretty huge access to money they previously didn't have.
Shouldn't exchanges have to send out 1099's just like online brokerages do? That seems absurd.

Yet Apple has, for the first time in years IMHO, just delivered something worth discussing and mildly tempting.
So you don't like privacy?
User-local moderation will be hamstrung by the lack of data. Sure, you can block certain users or reorder the results a little bit, but anything interesting would probably require the server shipping over huge amounts of data to a client which may never even do anything useful with it, which sites are unlikely to do.

Your best bet if you really want this feature is to implement it yourself server-side with just enough knobs to make it useful for your user-local case, and hope that other sites agree...
Clearly, if for any given result, server A must assert its answer over server B, there cannot be a simple timeout or failure fallback from A to B; only if A indicates that it is in working order, but declines to provide an answer.
None of the headphones I use support AptX (Bragi Dash Pro, AirPods, Jaybird Freedoms); nor do any car audio receiver I know of.
The 99% use case for having to unlock a phone with TouchID / FaceID / 4 digit passcode is to prevent people from snooping on your phone (think children, coworkers, strangers, thiefs) within a relatively short period of time. If your phone is stolen, for example, you'll probably contact Apple and remotely disable it within a day, probably sooner.

I don't think TouchID / FaceID / 4 digits are intended for the 1% use case: preventing malicious actors with long term access to the phone from getting in (think police, government agents, etc.).

As a result, most people I see have 4 digit codes on their phones, without the "10 wrong passwords erases all phone data" option enabled. That alone is probably more insecure than FaceID / TouchID over the short term. Sure, a 3D map of your face or your fingerprint is not a true password.. but for this use case, they're a perfectly fine substitute while being more convenient.

If you want long term protection, then you should use an alphanumeric password for your phone with the "10 wrong passwords" option enabled. But most people don't want or need that.
>I am just curious as why people love lisp so much.

Lisp is addictive, like a hard drug.

Lisp is the original "programmable programming language".

Experienced programmers with no previous knowledge of Lisp should relish (or doubt in disbelief) at the features provided.

Lisp, at least Common Lisp (but other Lisp dialects as well) might claim to be the most powerful and versatile programming language (and environment) available.

CL can run pretty fast. At the same speed than Java on the oracle JVM, and if some tricks are applied it should match C and Fortran speed under certain conditions. CL code is extremely portable.

Lisp has been used for very high level tasks (AI, etc) and for low level tasks (operating systems for Lisp machines).
EDIT: Found confirmation that this is how it works now.

> Targeting a subreddit means you are targeting the subscribers and recent visitors of that subreddit. Subscribers can see your ad while visiting the targeted subreddit and on other subreddits if they recently visited that targeted subreddit.

That's a bummer. I really liked the idea of highly targetted ads in subreddits...

---

Looks like they've updated the Reddit ads page since I last looked, but it seems quite explicit:

'Interests' means shows the ads everywhere. 'Subreddits' means show it only on that subreddit.

https://i.imgur.com/dm5DRO6.png

Now I noticed that it says the 'Potential Daily Impressions' are too low for that subreddit. Used to be that it wouldn't let you run the ad this way. Maybe now it automatically changes to run everywhere if this is the case?

The FAQ states:

> Why can’t I target a specific subreddit?

> We only allow users to target the top 5k most trafficked subreddits, as other subreddits do not garner enough traffic for advertisers to hit their minimum budget. We will continue on-boarding subreddits as they grow in size!

Maybe during the 'ad review' your particular ad was switched to target an interest in jerky instead of just the subreddit? Was there any sort of confirmation email about Reddit accepting your ad?
Subreddits don't exist in a vacuum though (and I say this as a big fan of some smaller subreddits with pretty awesome communities, like /r/vandwellers).

So even if we set aside the question of self-ownership of data vs. embedding, WaPo would look at this as an opportunity to either create their own culture, with their own weirdos and brilliant people, or to start with Reddit's and try to moderate their way towards the culture they want. Framed that way, I think Reddit's at a disadvantage.

If Slashdot had provided the option of just embedding their comment system onto Reddit pages, would Reddit ca. 2004 had done that instead of building their own?
This has been true for years I thought.
I still use my phone to take photos. I wonder if the LTE watch (in stainless steel, say) + a digital point-and-shoot camera is still cheaper than an iPhone?
What?

IC cars have been shipping with all of the features currently available in Teslas for the better part of a decade. 1 horsepower = 745 watts, so we're talking about somewhere in the range of 20HP to generate as much power as the average Tesla consumption including powering the drivetrain.

I'd be surprised if all the electric features in a Tesla consume more than 5HP equivalent.

> Most small to medium corporations are organized as pass through entities so they don't have to pay the corporate tax rate.

In which case they can't defer paying personal income tax to much the same effect.

> Also parking profits in different companies doesn't affect the average or marginal effective tax rates because effective and average tax rates are only computed using the profit.

They reduce their profits in the higher tax jurisdiction by paying more for products or services from a subsidiary in a lower tax jurisdiction, which lowers their effective tax rate because the cost paid to the foreign subsidiary is a deductible expense which reduces their tax burden.

> You've argued that effective/average rates depend on the type company. But the amount you pay in taxes depends on what type of company too. So this is a feature not a bug.

It is a bug if you are trying to compare effective tax rates between countries that have different types of companies, because you end up comparing company types instead of tax codes.

> My point is corporations care more about average and effective tax rates because they are more representative of what they will pay than nominal tax rates.

They obviously care about their own effective tax rate, but that may have little or nothing to do with what companies in other lines of business that represent the country's average are doing.

Moreover, they care about all the details of the tax code, and make decisions based on it. High property taxes cause companies to avoid/minimize owning real property, high income/profit taxes cause companies to avoid reporting profits in that country, high consumption taxes cause companies to conserve resources or acquire them offshore, etc.
if you had purchased the BTC at $20, you now owe taxes on $980 of realized gain. Once you've paid that, your new (tax) basis in ETH is $1000, so you can do whatever you want with it (including exchange it to USD) if the value doesn't change.
There's definitely a threshold of intolerability though. Somewhere between the points of:

- charge as a matter of routine (daily-ish)

- obsessively hunt your tiny overlord's next power fix,

If Jason Bourne is after you that's probably true. If you're worried about border security, that's maybe true.

But for most people, the lock on their phone isn't protecting them from the government, it's protecting them from nosy relatives, a pick pocket, or the guy that finds the phone you left at the bar, or their 4 year old. None of these 'attackers' will ever be sophisticated enough to defeat the biometric protections on an iPhone.

I think people need to adjust their security policies to reflect the actual security threats they're likely to face, and for most people Touch ID or FaceID are more than adequate.
