I run in different kinds of terrains (park, street, hiking trail, bridge, treadmill, track field) despite my vision on both eyes are close to 900 now.

It's really a personal choice. I swear a lot, and I don't like glasses hanging on my nose. Also, I like to relax and practice mindfulness during my run so without glasses I am not distracted by the details of my surroundings (the same reason i think people like filming black/white monochrome). I do recommend without glasses if you can try.

I just feel we are slowly reaching to a point where we can't be free from "vendor lock-in" even in our lives. Perhaps one day there is no physical device you need to carry around except a pair of glasses or wearing a pair of contacts.

Of course these are just my wild speculations.
Okay, but shouldn't developers make security easy? This makes introducing a sizable hole into existing security easy, which is the opposite of what you'd want.
Yes. You'd feel quite drunk even controlling the mouse pointer with 100ms lag. This was/is actually a problem with some LCDs (VA in particular) that cached a frame or two in order to "anticipate" future changes so that they could adjust the voltage and make the image transition faster.

This overdrive is probably also the cause of burn-in-effects that seems to be especially common in VA panels.

Why you should never unlock your phone with your face...

... basically because in less than 3 months, you will see HN article of someone posting some sort of 3-d photo of your face stuck to a watermelon, and showing you how to fool the IOS and unlock your phone anyway.
Seems crazy that they have no less than eight models of iPhone available at once: https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/

Why are the 6S and 6S Plus still there? Why no love for the iPhone SE? It's now two entire generations of processor behind.
If you bother looking at the page you'll know when you buy a yearly subscription (or 12 consecutive monthly) with Jet Brains you automatically get a perpetual license for the current version.

You only need to keep paying if you want to keep getting updates. If you're happy with the current version no one is forcing you to keep paying or keep updating.

I can't speak to all IDEs, but at least with IntelliJ you're not just renting it.

They even give you a helpful info-graphic telling you how to minimize subscription cost if you just want to get a perpetual license for a particular version:

Unlockable bootloader, yes. Officially supported ROM without Google Play Services, absolutely not.

I see you defending Google around here. That's fine but a grand-grand-grand...-parent of yours was saying that AOSP is unusable, and that point still stands and is true.
"AND smash that bell icon!"
Yeah, this feature was accidentally shown in the keynote.

Nope. According to this guy, it's actually slightly better.

Is it just me, or did the main speaker talking about the products just kind of kill the buzz. I think they need to have Tim Cook do the walkthroughs. These "other guys" made it seem like they didnt even believe what they were saying. Like they were saying it off a prompt, not because they actually felt it...
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean- neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master-that's all."
Good morning from Melbourne. I myself am not localised in datacentres all around the world, so I had to sleep.

That's why we're working on JMAP! Localising comes with a ton of downsides, including the fact that of the 3 other datacentres we've installed into, none have been anywhere near the quality of services that we've had from NYI over the years.

https://blog.fastmail.com/2014/12/10/security-availability/

(and yes I see another comment in this thread that I'll reply to in a second about a 1 hour network outage we had... it's the biggest outage we've had in years. Our other datacentres have had much bigger downtimes during that period)

Particularly with the increase in mobile clients that change networks regularly, we don't see a future in old school IMAP as the preferred way to access email. Please check out the JMAP working group for what we see as the future :)

https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/jmap/documents/

So we prefer to consolidate in a few high-quality datacentres and build protocols which work well from anywhere in the world.
The only way to stop someone from unlocking your device by just pointing it at your face is to close your eyes. Dealbreaker.
These are small, with bigger sensors than iPhone:

Sony RX100 $1000
Canon G9X Mark II $500

These are bigger but provide 10X-30X optical zoom:

Panasonic Lumix ZS100 $600
Panasonic Lumix ZS50 $300
Homepod firmware leaked via their website, then a GM of iOS11 leaked - that's why these leaks were so high confidence. Software is something they couldn't bring more in house, these leaks were on them.
> The only thing that is making me want to retreat back to an iPhone is its inferior Bluetooth audio quality.

The S8 has AptX, which in my experience is really quite good. Once Android O drops for that phone you'll have AptX HD and LDAC as well. I've got a pair of Sony headphones. Running LDAC from my Pixel XL on Android O to them, sounds CD quality to me.
I'm becoming more and more convinced that Facebook is simply an evil company, and Google isn't far behind.
It probably piggy backs off the SIM information from the "Master" device (which is the phone in this case).
Do you know what a DAC is? They "make a difference" by allowing you to analog headphones. So more so "required"...
The added friction from having to log in every time has enabled me to untrain mindless facebook browsing.
Slashdot's commenting system was 100% an echo chamber ;)
And so the old tale of the internet tough guy repeats itself. Again.
Indeed! And in a lot of the rural west, there are places where visible signage is driven by the fire department, eg:

http://bendruralfire.com/Content/Details/5
That's going to require a few adapters.
For a moment I was excited, as I thought this might finally be an avenue to root my abandoned, older android phones, however, looks like the permissions given to the bluetooth service are not actually full scale root (which is reasonable of course).

I wonder whether it is still worth investigating?
Agree. Terms like "Zen" and "Mindful" are being seriously misused. Whatever we call "zen" is not "zen" in the Buddhist sense.
Something that I think people underestimate is just how easy it is to observe you entering your password on a phone, and why that (in my opinion) makes thumbprints much more secure than passwords for casual usage - e.g. every-time you unlock your phone.

All you need is a camera over your shoulder and you don't even need to observe the key-presses as generally the current character is displayed on screen. You could likely observe 100s or 1000s of them a day with an overhead camera at transit stations and the like.

The same thing goes for "Tap And Go" contact less payments not requiring a PIN number under $100.

Everyone goes on about how people can run up a few hundred dollars at different stores with your card if they steal it. But consider exposing your pin to surveillance during most common transactions which then also lets you remove cash from an ATM with that card if stolen which is much harder to recover and is also much higher value than the generally $30-$100 limit for transactions without a PIN.

Next minute you'll freak out when I tell you I can clone your house key from a photo of it hanging off your belt...

The general point is that security trade-offs are generally deeper than you might realise on the surface, especially at "public outrage" levels of observation which so frequently haunt the public mind in recent times.
It wasn't until a later version of iOS that you could setup an iPhone without iTunes. The same independence should come to the Apple Watch eventually, it just might take a few more versions.
200ms is five frames/changes per second, and is definitely very noticeable. You may be thinking of a figure closer to about 12ms or so, which is the approximate threshold of perception for audio lag.
Restoration Hardware CEO reveals a startling reality about online ad spending
Thanks for all the explanations. Now I understand why u guys get excited from it. Almost sounds to good to be true.
Just remember to change your face regularly, and use a face manager so that you don't ever use the same face twice.
Hey I said that two years ago. Prior art. See ya' in court, bud!

Varies widely by field. Fields whose studies have inherently small sample sizes and low power, like psychology, are more susceptible to poor conclusions. That's before we even talk about the culture surrounding different fields.

Take a random study from physics and another from social psychology; the physics study will generally be a much higher-powered study, botching the stats will have a smaller effect on the conclusion, and the practitioners themselves are, arguably, better statisticians anyways.
"Hey Siri, turn the brightness all the way down."

Works for me for the first one. Don't pause after hey Siri; just make it one smooth utterance.

For the second one, not sure how you do that even with today's phones.
Obviously facial recognition and fingerprints aren't as good as a passcode. But they're better than the previous alternative, nothing. Before fingerprint/facial recognition, for the most part the only people who used a passcode were forced to because it was a company phone.
Unlike most of the other commenters here, I'd like to have both a phone and a watch with my existing provider. However I wouldn't really be happy if there was an additional monthly cost to add the watch.
Yes, touchId/faceId sits in between, it's quick access token, which is enough for 95% of the time, but those other 5% are very important.
You can because some poorer countries don't have an opiod epedimic. For example, opiod use is higher in West Virginia than Mexico.

Certainly true that comparative poverty plays a role but we need to first hold accountable those directly responsible.

I will regret asking this, but why ?

I don't even remember what it was like to code without autosave in IntelliJ.

I will review the changeset before creating the PR anyway, so I don't see the downside of autosave.
Because it has been attacked and gamed by various troll armies over the years, the Slashdot comment system works about as well as any comment system out there. What's interesting about it is, if you really want to, you can see all the troll comments, but you have to specifically tweak all the comment knobs to unhide them.
1. Play album "blank" works on my Nexus with 7.1 and iPhone but it isn't consistent(on the Nexus). If you the word has special characters like dashes or & it appears to play something that appears to be a radio.

2. The Google Suite works well enough for me on both the iPhone and Nexus. To be fair I actually use Gmail and Google Calendar on my iPhone so there really isn't much of a switch. Google Play Music seems to work just as well on my Nexus as the iPhone in fact I sometimes play music off it in the car because it has a headphone jack. I have not encountered any Google Apps that work better on the Nexus vs iPhone except probably Google Photos because it won't sync in the background for the iPhone.

3. The apps last time I used them were identical. I have had connectivity issues/dropped calls when using G Voice years ago.
> gas, real estate, tobacco

Gas is refined, real estate is inscrutable and tobacco highly regulated. That makes them hard. (I don't think we have any good models for real estate.) Try thermal coal or crude oil or pork. The EIA, U.S. DoE and CME have loads of data.
They explicitly said you could leave your phone at home while running errands and not worry about being out of reach. You need a phone for the cellular plan but not to use the watch as a phone.
Don't most people (other than in the USA) already use an on-screen home button instead of the physical one?
As a frivolous aside it's refreshing that the screenshot shows a light theme. Getting a bit tired of all the heavy black slabs.
I mean, I like quality hardware and as far as I can tell, Apple is the only one even remotely trying to protect privacy. Compared to Google, Samsung, etc. at least.

So which phone maker fits your level of privacy?
Is an alliance any less "real" just because it's main focus is in a video game? Real money is involved, so there IS something to betray outside of the game. People have walked off with 4 digit figures before
I'd like the notch more if it were less than half the width of the screen
What would be the latency of the images?
Are there any notable new techniques used here, whether social or technical?
I think it's technical.

Apple are fairly comfortable with their own products taking over their own products (iPod -> iphone, and pushing people from mac to iPad).

If they thought that the smart watch would cannibalise the phone market I'm fairly sure that they would make sure you didn't need to own an iPhone to use the watch.
If you have the kind of surveillance tech people are postulating here, you already have a high-res-enough scan of the actual face of the person you target in order to produce something to unlock their phone.
With all subscriptions 1 year or greater, the JetBrains license grants you an eternal, irrevocable license to whatever version was the latest version at the time your subscription expired (look up perpetual fallback license).

I'm not a fan of their license change either, but calling it perpetual rent is just not correct.
It's starting to sound a lot like:

if (true) {
unlock_phone();
}
I believe this was the exact attack they were talking about preventing with the "we worked with Hollywood mask-makers" line.

Also, as far as I understand, the demo videos are misleading: these systems (this and Windows Hello) are taking infrared pictures of your face, not visible-light pictures. From their perspective, you look like a (3D depth-tested) network of hot capillaries. This is 1. rather hard to recreate with any amount of sculpture-work, and 2. still identifies you "through" things like foundation/concealer creams.
Seemed OK with Reader View in Firefox.
Ideally there would be a way to use both, as a two-factor auth mechanism. CopperheadOS supported using fingerprint + passphrase/code briefly but it broke when they moved to Android 7 and they never could find the resources to fix it.
I've also heard the screen itself is slightly wider than 16:9, though in which direction I don't know. Hopefully, wide enough for native 16:9 to naturally black bar the notch
You can disable System Integrity Protection pretty easily.

I've used Linux full-time at work, and while most things are fine, VPNs, WebEx meetings, Evernote, MS Office documents, Spotify and Skype are not. Spotify and Skype at least offer Linux versions, but they are for the most part terrible and not maintained.

With Windows running in a VM I could get through a workday just fine, but its an additional hassle and a good chunk of your RAM.

I'm using a Mac now (on Sierra), and for the most part its a great experience. That may change as this 2013 MBP dies and I'm forced to use that awful touch bar.
That's funny, Apple pulled a Microsoft and skipped 9 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Except for the 'no hands while locked on the table' part.

It's an oh so common use case.

Layman here. Upon seeing a black box that performs tasks that are otherwise intractable, isn't it all-but-natural to desire to crack the box open and figure out how it works?

(n.b. the inability to artificially replicate the human mind's full capabilities, is one of the few reasons we continue to tolerate the many failings of the human form and mind.)
Do you need to put as much energy into an already-loaded system as will be released, though? Compare the energy released by a stack of blocks falling to the amount it takes to topple it. I think it's unlikely we will ever be able to trigger quakes intentionally, but there's some implication fracking to extract natural gas [1] is causing seismic activity, for example.

I've had a new MacBook Pro for under a year and 3 of the USB-C ports are now super slack and have no click to them at all. I find it a horrible connector.
The error-rate for walking was up to 3.8%, which is roughly 8bpm for someone with a 200bpm max HR. And that error rate is averaged over a minute, so presumably the instantaneous error rate is even greater. If I'm trying to keep my HR at a constant 150 or whatever, I don't want to be speeding up or slowing down on the basis of getting garbage data from my HR monitor. This is an issue even with the Polar chest straps, and those are significantly more accurate than the Apple Watch.

Also, if you look at the protocol the vast majority of participants wouldn't have even broken a sweat, let alone have been sweating significantly.

Tim Cook: Apple products aren't just for the rich
Well, I said I would be okay with it given those conditions... Like any new tech there will always be a transition period where it's more expensive and less accessible, but there are ways to help mitigate that pain which I've seen vendors neglect in the past, so these concerns are not entirely unfounded.

I personally have not used an iPhone recently to have an opinion on how well Apple currently does it.
People generally tend to see a lot of percentages so 0-99 should seem reasonable, and the 0-9 is merely a "per dec" and you just need to imagine another digit behind it to get a percentage.

Maybe the set notation curly brackets isn't enough of a signal to think of them as percentages if the font is unavailable, but adding that as a note when copying/pasting isn't entirely strange.
In which case it would still only be three distinct realizations: [f v t].

Resilience isn't something you learn directly, it's something you acquire indirectly by living a life that requires it. Almost anyone with a positive outlook who puts themself in a situation that requires resilience will get it eventually.
Most small to medium corporations are organized as pass through entities so they don't have to pay the corporate tax rate.

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. And parking cash in offshore subsidiaries doesn't get recorded as profit for the U.S. corporation.

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. For instance how many buildings do you own, how much debt you have, how much and what types of equipment do you own. All of these things affect how much you pay in taxes so of course they affect average and effect tax rates but not nominal rates.

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.

Here is the paper which lists the methodology the CBO used.

The SE was updated in the spring, so you're complaining that the model is already 6 months old.
The NHTSA should compare ACC+LKA+AEB vs Autopilot (which is all those plus Lane Centering).

I'd bet those 3 combined are much safer than Autopilot, which complicates their implementation to offer a marginal convenience of not having to steer (but to constantly have to nanny lest it put you into a ditch)
Attention isn't the issue. The issue is holding your phone directly in front of your face while it unlocks, which is far different from TouchID. If I'm using Apple Pay, I double tap the home button while it's still in my pocket and then wave it past the reader. At no point do I look at my phone.

Likewise if I'm checking the time or a text message, I'll hit the button with my finger while the phone is laying flat on the table. But that use case doesn't exist anymore either.

Unlike a computer screen, phones are not always pointed directly at our faces all day. It'd work fine to unlock my Macbook, but not my iPhone.
I'm just glad at least Tesla doesn't seem to do planned obsolescence with batteries, the way smartphone OEMs do with their battery irreplaceable smartphones that seem to last 2 years before the battery degrades significantly. Tesla's seem to lose about 5% after 10 years

Per https://www.apple.com/watch/cellular/ it's either 2 and 4, or 1 and 3 (and 7). The iPhone 8 supports all [1]. That would confirm that the Apple Watch uses more specialized cellular chips.

Do headphones even matter after a certain price point? http://asa.scitation.org/doi/10.1121/1.4984044
Ok yes that's definitely a fair point. To be clear I like the idea of the tax code being simpler and rates lower since it unlocks more NPV positive projects by removing an important cost.

But I do think that's a different argument by a few degrees than the idea that capital gains taxes should be lower to somehow compensate investors for their risk.
If you haven't seen sales engineers get commissions, then you're working for the wrong companies. Very common for sales engineers to have up to a third of their comp commission based.

After reading this article over and over I am still clueless.

Besides, Mozilla is really lacking communicational skills. This blog post feels like the documentation at MDN, tedious and unclear.
I wish people would stop repeating the canard that biometrics are usernames, not passwords. Biometrics are biometrics. They are different from both usernames and passwords.
