> but without the integrated debugger

Really? Isn't that what makes an IDE an IDE? We've had things like intellisense and refactoring tools in text editors for decades, the only thing that makes Visual Studio an IDE and not a stupidly complicated text editor is the debugging experience.
Well, she is easier to defend than Nazis. So, here I go...

Freedom of expression, not just free speech the legal concept, should be a societal goal. Google has every right, legally, to delete this stuff. However, in an ideal world, they'd do no such thing and would let people judge based on the merits of the message.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd like to work towards that ideal world.

Maybe the solution is enabling people to realistically host content themselves, on their own property, and just ensuring the ISP is nothing but a dumb pipe? Maybe the solution is distributed content and P2P networks?

Either way, the continued aggressive censorship by Google, while their legal right, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. They can do it, but I don't have to like it.

That said, if anyone can think of something that I can do to help, I'm all ears.
This is Google being Google... They really need to improve their customer support processes; especially when people have so much stake in their products. Losing a Youtube account sucks, losing an entire Google account is the nail in the coffin.
No, not at all. It may be worse off than psychology:

> fairly hard to make the call

No, it is trivially easy to make the call when someone threatens harm to another player in real life.

You are right that nobody complains when pilots threaten each other in-character; everyone understands that the capsuleer characters are cutthroat and might try to intimidate each other. This is good fun, well within the spirit of the game. We're all just playing space pirates.

The problems arise when you say another player's going to be missing his hands. It's very clear here that this was the context, since it followed "whoever know[s] his real name, home address and other details [message] me." For an admin of a game, a situation this clear doesn't even take much thought - it's a straightforward reason to ban someone.
Actually it seems like using the tokens in the context presented would not satisfy the Howey Test: "If, however, the investor's own actions largely dictate whether an investment will be profitable, then that investment is probably not a security."

But at this point you would probably need to build some anti-speculative functionality into your app anyways to prevent random "investors" from just hodling your supply.
Supreme Court stays lower-court order, says some refugees can be barred for now
Given leaked benchmarks for the new A11 chip this phone may be faster than a MacBook Air.

I'm pretty sure the 10.5 inch iPad Pro already is.
I'm wondering if the new apple watch works more like answering cellular calls on your Mac, but over LTE.
These things happen in live demos.
Even identical twins might not have facial features (due to body fat percentage differences or sun exposure) which are close enough to fool it.

It's an interesting question how exactly the device switches to the remote profile mode versus an "authentication failed" route. If the profile has never existed on the device you'll need permission from someone who is live on the device (in other words you need to get past the lock screen) to retrieve a new profile.

But if two profiles are live on a device owned by identical twins who can't be distinguished by FaceID -- perhaps detected by trying to authenticate the human to both profiles and seeing if both pass -- you're going to need a PIN (or something else) to distinguish them.
They wouldn't call it rubber, they'd use some space age sounding term for it and journalists would eat it right up.
Presumably, if the person thinks it is an issue then they will make an effort to create and maintain it. It'd not be much use for most of us, but it might be invaluable to someone else.
I have the setting in my EU,NL version. Do not use it though.
There's a charge of $5 or $10 a month for adding the watch on your phone plan.
I think reading the news without commentary is its own form of echo chamber. We will tend to pick a news source that slants to our liking and just experience that over and over again. Don't get me wrong, NYT is among the top newspapers I would want to use as a citation, but it definitely slants center-left with a hint of corporatism. So much so that after the election the NYT apologized for how it covered the election and rededicated itself to honest reporting.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/us/elections/to-our-reade...

> ...we aim to rededicate ourselves to the fundamental mission of Times journalism. That is to report America and the world honestly, without fear or favor, striving always to understand and reflect all political perspectives and life experiences in the stories that we bring to you.

I've taken a different approach, which I don't think is superior to yours, just more enjoyable for me... I intentionally watch openly biased news aggregators. For left wing commentary I will watch The Young Turks or Jimmy Dore. For right wing commentary I like Ben Shapiro. The truth usually lies somewhere in between.
It's all about your priorities.

For me? Having a phone is basically the same size but with a bigger screen is a great win, as is the improved contrast and visual quality.

I can tell you TrueTone fantastic from using it on my iPad.

I've wanted the camera system from the plus size phones but again I didn't want to phone that large. So to be able to get an improved version of that in a phone that's almost the same size? That's another big win.

The rest is just bonus.
I could be wrong, but doesn't a passcode actually encrypt the data (for sure on password manager/banking/etc apps) whereas FaceID/TouchID/<insert biometric here> doesn't? And what about hashing? AFAIK you can't really hash biometrics.
CTRL + F "Disclaimer: I work at Google"

Funny how that never comes up on these threads. I get it you can't discredit your employer. Even at Google.
How  You Can Become Consistent in Your Forex Trading
Pushbullet is ok, but with OSX its only a browser add on. With the way that OSX switches windows, its kind of annoying when I'm working and need to send out a quick message. And yes, I know I'm being picky :)

I also tried MightyText, but they kept adding useless junk to the already bulky interface. The service itself also wasn't consistent.

Overall, I'm surprised that Google hasn't flat-out copied iMessage.
At the very least stocks have well defined metrics tied to company financials with which value is quantified.
HN is a pretty close second, especially after they added comment collapsing

Isn't comment collapsing in HN the same as downvoting? I find this confusing - or maybe I just don't have enough karma for the actual downvote button.
Note, the original NHTSA report compares accidents per mile traveled in Tesla vehicles with and without autopilot, and notes that vehicles WITH autopilot have 40% fewer accidents than those without.

This seems like very clean data, as it doesn't actually consider how often autopilot is turned on, and it's over a fairly large sample of drivers, locales and miles driven.

This is just correlation, not causality, but the effect is too big to be by chance.

4k video using hevc actually helps cut size down a lot. 64 is still not very much but should be good enough for most people, especially if they rely on icloud.
$100,000/BTC isn't a raw extrapolation to my knowledge and I've been in the crypto space since early 2009. It's a popular number chosen that'd represent BTC @ ~1/4 the market cap of Gold.

Which I don't think is that unreasonable if you're evaluating it as a store of value.
Snowden gives a really solid interview every time. Very polished.

I'm interested that he called out the idea of "deep state." He defines it as political forces that outlast a presidency (by that definition of course it exists i.e. any political party), but perhaps the implied element is a secretive nature and power over a president.

I wonder if there's an objective way to answer this.
NTSB says an over-reliance on Tesla’s Autopilot contributed to a fatal crash
I am a New Zealander and apparently we also say pin when we mean pen. I thought the broad NZ accent wasn't something that I was really afflicted with, but in an airline lounge in Seoul I was disavowed of this notion when the English businessman whom I was trying to borrow a pen from couldn't understand why I would expect him to have a pin (or indeed how I proposed to fill out a form using one).
Maybe it permanently disables the phone if it recognizes you and you have your eyes crossed? Or tongue stuck out? :)
Terabyte drives are very cheap. Since it's borderline stupid, to simply upload this volume of work to some third party service without backup, I have no sympathy or technical concern. This being an illustration of Google's terrible "progressively tyrannical" track record, the article is badly titled. More like Google the Oppressor of Truth. Good Luck to Alexa.
Put it on the internet archive.
It works in the cold fairly well since the heat of your wrist keeps the battery from freezing. In my skiing experience my phone often shuts down in the cold to protect the battery but the watch is always fine.
Isn't that what Facebook does with their curated newsfeed? Doesn't that just make echo chambers?
Original title: A federal agency says an over-reliance on Tesla’s Autopilot contributed to a fatal crash (8 characters too long)

Techmeme Summary: NTSB says causes of fatal Tesla crash in May 2016 included driver's over-reliance on Autopilot, approves safety recommendations for automakers, DoT, and NHTSA
Sounds very similar to Android too.
Word from the hands-on area is that they've fixed the ultra slipperiness issues in the 8 and X aren't nearly as bad.
>I hope more public security shaming like this happens

This has been going on for a few years at least from my perspective. Shaming doesn't work well enough IMO, but maybe that's because I haven't seen or heard from companies who got shamed and then changed. Anthem and Target hacks were both high in the news, but both settled all of their lawsuits.
A lot of IR is blocked by sunglasses. I know my IR iris scanner on my S8+ rarely works through sunglasses.

Is there any way to disable that 'feature'? Seems like an unnecessary risk.
defacto "BEST" for Javascript? I think you would be suprised how many people do not use JetBrains products at all if you went to a JavaScript meetup.
^ Cynicism at its best.
This is fantastic. I'm definitely going the SE route. It seems that with most new designs of Apple hardware there is a design choice I actively want to avoid -- e.g. lack of headphone jack with the new phones, the bar on the MBPs.

A week or two ago a few dead spots started happening with my 5S. I can do most things, but I can't use the delete button when entering a phone number, and a certain row in Net can't be moved (this is my main concern...)

Now, if I can only find one on 9.3.3 I will be in paradise.
Sorry, can someone clarify this for someone not very well versed in this case? What's FSB, and what's the implication from that evidence? That Snowden is a spy?

Ask HN: What systems do you use to stay productive?
So often at the end of the day I'm left feeling that I wasn't as productive as I feel I could have. I know that a lot of it is lack of discipline, such as spending a lot of time reading HN comments. How can discipline be developed? What methodologies and tools help maintain productivity?
> Maybe the solution is enabling people to realistically host content themselves, on their own property, and just ensuring the ISP is nothing but a dumb pipe?

For what it's worth, this is mildly achievable, but I doubt there's much of a market for it. It's (usually) not hard to convert one's internet connection to some sort of business-class connection, get a static ip, and have port 80/443 unblocked, (I've done it). Mind you, there's costs associated with all that.

Then you have to setup and maintain a web server. Plenty of HN folks can do that on their distro of choice, but it's definitely a technical feat. I bet folks have tried to make a one-click install style thing before. I bet one even exists today, but I couldn't tell you what it is.

Then there's maintenance on said server...

Ultimately, people use 3rd parties because its a significantly lower barrier to entry in monetary cost, time, and complexity.

I won't speak to Google's actions here, but no one has yet proven out your proposed solution. I'd love it if we could.
Two doses of Narcan in the USA is $75.

Three doses of it here in Brisbane are $5. You're right to blame the pharmaceutical industry.

UAVs and Drones Flight Data Analysis
Agreed. MDN is for the web what MSDN is for Windows programming - long, detailed, sometimes confusing, sometimes contradictory, and the number one resource you can find online. My three top resources for web documentation are: RFCs, MDN, and StackOverflow. I'm not even sure where I would find a list of all properties that a given DOM element support and what browser version support was added if not on MDN.
Interesting - thanks for sharing.

I actually thought the trajectory app was pretty cool.
Can a client make a request to fetch all the things from a specific comment thread?

Example: I go to a mailing list for pick-your-favorite-old-grumpy free software project. I click through the ancient, craggy mailman web interface. Hey, there's a button that says, "download the full archive (x MB)." Now I have all the things.

Real World Use Case: The Guardian once deleted some comments on a Greenwald op-ed because of insert-old-craggy-British-law-here. Archive access would have empowered users to periodically archive the comments so that they have control over content they want to read, while the publisher is still able to remove comments from flow and archive when forced to censor.

There is no camera bulge there... they just deleted it. This is not something I expect from Apple.
That's an interesting corner case. My phone has a setting that lets me turn off touch ID for App Store purchases (so I would have to use my passcode) so I guess you'd just have to use that if your kid kept tricking you and you couldn't stop them.

The watch charges quickly. I sleep with mine every night, only taking it off to charge while I'm showering.
It's true that torturing a person is an effective way to change what that person wants. It doesn't always end with the torturer getting what they want, though.
nah, with this I'm looking for a used SE on 9.3.3. If I can't have that, I can live without the tiny text I hold so dearly. The LittleBrother functionality is something I'm surprised Apple hasn't included with its stock OS.
I paid capital gains on my sale of 325 BTC and used the profits to buy a Butterfly Labs Monarch mining machine.

I was unlucky ... BFL never got their engineering straight and the machine never appeared.

I was lucky ... I demanded a refund early and got back a full cash refund.

I was unlucky ... 325 BTC today would be worth US$1.35 million had I just held on instead of buying a BFL machine.

I was lucky ... my 325 BTC was held at Mt Gox and we know those BTC all vanished.

So ... I'm glad I made some decent gains back in the day, but I sure wish I still had the 325 BTC in a legitimate and safe form.
My spidey sense is tingling here. With Assange's exposition of Google as an arm of the US State Department [1] and the US's ever changing alliances with various rebel groups in the middle east, including the Taliban and Al Qaeda [2] [3], it's not a stretch to believe that Google has an agenda beyond monetization in the particular content it hides.

Besides being an issue of freedom of expression, couldn't this be construed as a form of damage?

I mean, part of a journalist's trade is to reach out as many people as they possibly can. Taking stuff down goes in the opposite direction to that.

This is almost like airline industry. Ticket prices will go up because oil prices are up. But they never go back down.
That's an overly simplified model to the point of incorrectness. A Lion wants a sick / old / or young water buffalo because it's less dangerous. However, a house cat does not really care about a mouse or bird.

If you look at mice reproduction they mostly get eaten before adulthood. Young healthy animals are often preferred prey because they are easy targets.

Finally, predators regularly drive species to extinction, which is a large part of why the vast majority of species to ever exist are not currently around.

TLDR; Cat's need 8 adult mice a day if that's all they are eating and they really can't afford to just look for sick animals. They easily hunt healthy adult birds, some baby rabbits, or other small animals.
Show HN: Multi-OS Serverless functions with Docker
Top notch response! :)
Parent comment said this correctly, but to clarify: the change doesn't actually increase overall inventory, it only increases "targeted inventory," i.e. you can now follow a jerky subscriber around to other subs, but the total possible impressions across all users is still the same it was.

Seems like Reddit could offer an additional option that limits display to a particular sub only. That way their bigger advertisers could still "spend more" to follow a jerky subscriber around but bold_panda could buy only /r/jerky inventory
But the 45% party and the 10% party form a coalition because their platforms are more closely aligned to one another than either is with that of the second 45% party, right?

Isn't that exactly what we have in our current 2-party system, with factions forming coalitions against the other groups that they most disagree with?

Might the only difference be that, on one side of the Atlantic, the individual factions have explicit names while the coalitions go unlabeled, and on the other side of the Atlantic we explicitly name the coalitions while the factions they comprise go (mostly) unlabeled?
This is a big problem, which is enough to kill the model, in my view, but not the only problem, and not the one I alluded to. (And IMHO it affects supply as well.) The problem I alluded to is that how you aggregate supply and demand curves so that the equilibriums (the points where they intersect) match in some reasonable way.

Supply and demand curves are such an unsalvagable mess, in my opinion. Economists should just stop drawing them.
Microsoft is issuing security patches to all supported Windows versions at 10 AM, Tuesday, September 12.
How tightly bound we are to just a few large tech companies is... unfortunate.

I would love it if it were easier for the common person to host their own stuff. Between all the concerns involved (security, hardware, demand, etc.) I'm not sure how feasible it is. I've given it a lot of thought, and have slowly unwound my custom tech setups - from domains, to emails, to hardware. Mostly for the "bus" factor. When my dad died, my mom let his computer sit untouched for years. At some point I transferred the files on it to my computer so they wouldn't disappear forever. But still, a decade later, and it's just sitting there. She never bothers to turn it on.

I have a family, and my wife is not technical in the slightest. If I were to be gone tomorrow, there's no way she would have a clue as to what to do. My #1 barometer for everything I use in life is how easy it is for her to use things.

It's interesting to me how temporary and inaccessible our digital lives actually are.
> At what point is stealing a fingerprint, retina print, or face going to be economical enough for the thief that this would be an actual valid concern in 99% of use cases?

For the average person who is just securing their phone that only stores pictures of their cat, this isn't a concern, but that's far less than 99%. For pretty much anyone who is logged into their work email/VPN via their phone, or is using fingerprint scanners to secure their work laptop, this is a very real concern that I have seen exploited a few times in the real world.

> Both FaceID and TouchID need to read a living person with a pulse in order to authenticate.

TBD with FaceID, but with TouchID this isn't the case. You can defeat TouchID with $10 worth of office supplies and some play-dough.

> Which bank accounts are taking fingerprints? Do you mean people's banking apps on their phones? In order to get to that they would need to steal both your phone AND your fingerprint.

Since your phone literally has your fingerprint left on it from when you touched it, this isn't really a difficult task.

And as I mentioned, it's even worse if you're one of the people who uses a password manager on your phone that is also locked with fingerprint. Then, every account you have is now compromised. And even if you're using 2FA, your phone is likely your 2FA device, which the thief also has.

> This often happens when someone shoves policy down people's throats without explaining themselves or getting buy-in from their clients. This is a communication skills problem, not an issue with biometrics.

No, it is undeniably an issue with biometrics (and the way they're treated). Training and awareness (communications) is one of the primary problems that any security implementation will try to tackle, but it's just made more difficult to do that when Apple is pushing falsehoods like "TouchID is the most secure thing ever!" in all of their marketing materials.
I don't ever hand anyone my phone and it wouldn't be helpful anyway due to the passcode needed.

I understand the point you're making though. You want a phone that's a terminal to the cloud, with caching. That's a fine use case I suppose. Wouldn't stand in your way.

Many phones are cheap enough today (not to mention hand-me-downs) that there isn't a huge need however.
