On my Father's side, my grand parents, great grandparents, and great aunts and uncles called them "dopes." It's an Appalachian term. I haven't personally heard anyone use it in probably two decades, and I've never heard my father or any of his siblings say it, but it was common among those generations when they were still alive.
I think, at some point it gets to the Supreme court which will decide whether it's covered by the 5th amendment or not.
sorry for the lazy reading but why does he center both normal distributions at 0? is there no scientific proof for increased 'techiness' in males? and how does he come to the conclusion that "they don’t seem to be the dominant factor."?

I'm sorry... I just don't buy that. Airbags have deployed and killed people by snapping their necks yet we include airbags in every single vehicle on the market without requiring that the drivers or passengers read and accept a warning about airbags.

Autopilot requires manual consent from the user to even enable it and has so many overrides for the user that I feel like you're really stretching it by calling it a "fatal flaw". All it would have taken to prevent this accident was the person driving to hit the brakes in time. Even if they were just using cruise control in their vehicle, they would have died. This was completely about inattention and irresponsibility on the part of the driver. I can't see how anyone is making the leap to this being a "fatal flaw" in the system.
I am not sure why phones haven't been made with different profiles. Yesterday (?), someone here mentioned they wanted to be able to give the (presumed) cops a phone that was blank. I pointed out that was a horrible idea, but didn't really explain why.

If it is a totalitarian regime, they'll just kill you. If you're ever really in such a situation, a blank phone is probably the worst thing you can give them.

Instead, why not a dummy profile that's complete with user activity, social media presence, and showing active harmless use? Why not multiple profiles?

For the rest of us, those who are not spies traveling in totalitarian regimes, what this means is you can hand someone your phone to let them use it. It means you can let your kid use it and not expect to get it back with problems. You can even make the profiles based on the password, so that it only appears to have a single account.

Realistically, the biggest threat is theft. This doesn't hinder theft protection at all. It can still have the same protections, while just offering additional profiles.
I'm not sure what your point is. BT.2020 is 10- or 12- bit, so an tv that can take advantage of HDR (i.e. 10 bit) will most accurately match what was filmed.

e: I feel like you might be confusing 'HDR' with 'HDR upsampling'.

Another Cincinnatian, now living in the Peninsula.

Just to nit-pick one part:

> I'm still concerned. Property taxes have grown beyond reasonable limits.

There is some truth in this, but only because property taxes are a weird beast; a combination of one of the worst taxes (a tax on one's home) and one of the best taxes (the tax on the unimproved value of land).

In a land-poor place (bad neighborhoods in the rust belt, say), the property tax lies mostly on improvements, and tends to hurt the most vulnerable.

However, we see how in a land-rich place (the Bay Area), a crippled property tax, in the form of Prop 13, has devastated the land market.

Well, that's all I have to say about that. Love Cincinnati. Hate the peninsula.
I think it's triple digits that become a mouthful with the "I-" prefix. Double digits sounds best with the "I-", I think.

Triple digits come from being a spur of a two-digit highway incidentally, not to do with region. I-385 is a spur of I-85, etc.
> And I don't understand why I cant (on Android 7) combine fingerprint and then PIN/Pattern to unlock my device. It's mind boggling and completely stupid.

This. I've been looking for a way to have two factor unlock (Fingerprint + PIN) for a long time.
This applies to a lot of people too because there is a cluster of people who agree/think alike, and there is a cluster who aren't relatively to the other group. The way he said it is actually very insulting and condescending, pretty much ready to attack me and accuse me for something I did not do. I am glad you are being honest with me how you felt in the first place. That would have been a better way to express one's doubt. Although I am not famous, just a nobody HNer, I hope people would at least do a little research on my profile first before accusing me playing a persona game.
Well, yeah. They're the ones putting in the graft. So it makes sense they're the ones who get to decide the future.
Yep, its a US-only restriction, hence my qualifier
> I think, and the scientific evidence supports me, that men are generally dumber than women

and given that the programming is a pretty dumb job, a blue-collar job of the 21st century ('S' in CS isn't a real science), i think we have the explanation.
Ability-to-flag says otherwise. (I have recently been informed here that the downvoting feature is worthless even to those who can use it.)
IIRC he didn't use the passcode, they switched over to a backup phone.

It does matter. Modern smartphones have such abysmally short battery life that I have to charge my Samsung S6 twice during the day, in addition to the overnight charge. Which makes a slow Qi charger useless during the day.

>After 50 mins working on something very difficult my mind gets so mucked up.

I am suddenly reminded of my college classes that were 50 mins on the dot, with 10 mins in between as travel time to get to the next class.
How does it work today if you just enable fingerprint authentication (I'm asking because I don't know) ? Do you also have to set a backup passcode to use in case it can't read your fingerprint? Can you register multiple fingerprints in case you decide to put your main index finger too close to a sanding belt?
I do agree that there was that expectation.

There was at least a "defacto" standard in that many Linux distribution resolv.conf man pages said things like "If there are multiple servers, the resolver library queries them in the order listed." (verbatim quote from some Linux distribution...I concede though, that different distributions may not have spelled that out)
> fond memories of Think C and then Metrowerks

Me too, especially the former. It's so weird the things our nostalgia anchors itself to. And don't get me started on ResEdit. My emotional palette has a color reserved specifically for the feeling I got poking around applications and creating icons and cursors using it.
> Science is a tool for explaining what we observe. There is almost always more than one plausible explantion for any observation, and so it’s the job of the scientist to pit these against each other and see which comes out on top.

That is such a crude way to go about things.

It's been suggested before that there are larger influences from society on how men and women should act and live their lives. I still believe that. I don't think we've made a lot of progress on gender issues. A lot of them still lurk under the surface and the PC culture shields them and prevents discovery and resolution.

I think you're being downvoted because you're making the assumption that Tesla and every other autonomous car manufacturer isn't putting any resources into "all that boring 'safety' stuff". That singular point really devalues the entirety of the rest of your post.
Reddit has had embeddable comment threads for over two years. It was a feature I actually worked on nine years ago, but the standards weren't there at the time to make it work with voting.

I know I'm super biased, but I still find Reddit comments the easiest to read and follow (HN is a pretty close second, especially after they added comment collapsing).

Is it really just bad marketing it on Reddit's part that keeps others from using their embeddable comments? As a site owner, you can fully moderate the conversation by only embedding comments from a subreddit you fully control. You may not get quite as much data as Mozilla's solution, but in exchange you get the benefit of Reddit's 12 years of spam data that train its filters.

I just don't understand why more sites don't embed the reddit comments.
The corollary to "tak[ing] good ideas that were never implemented properly and do it properly", clearly, is taking good ideas that were implemented properly and completely fucking them up.

Second this. It seems much less rude to discretely glance at your wrist briefly.
The idea is that you don't break things that work fine and then replace it with a proprietary island solution that isn't even supported by your non ipad/iphone devices. If I buy lightning headphones can I use them on my macbook? No.

I haven't used wireless headphones yet but I will continue to hesitate until they have fixed the audio quality and pairing issues for good.
Compare the size of either Apple Watch to a Samsung LTE watch - even the larger 42mm Apple Watch is comfortably smaller than the Gear, and the 38 makes the Gear look like you're wearing a yo-yo on your wrist.

That size/battery life stuff is what took all the work, and why Apple waited until it was able to ship without the compromises.
Who you are, what you have, and what you know. Those are what we need to have good security. Fingerprints confirm who you are. What you have is the phone, in this case. What you know is the password.

If you're concerned about security, use the print/face and the password.

> Brendan Eich was not fired. ... He came under pressure to resign and he did.

So in other words, he was told if he didn't resign he'd be fired. Let's not play games, he wasn't going to survive that episode.

> The Mozilla Board that appointed him knew about his donation

I seriously doubt that, unless checking a person's political donations is a standard course of action Mozilla takes -- which would open a major can of worms (you didn't promote me because I donated to Trump). The whole episode reeked of someone digging around and raising a stink shortly after he made a highly visible move -- otherwise, why did no one in the "community" take issue with his donation in the several years prior?
Yep, Apple doesn't want devs to blackbar it.

On iPhone, you can register multiple fingerprints, but if it can't read your finger within 5(?) tries, it requires a passcode. It also allows you to skip the fingerprint and just enter the passcode if you want. That's useful for when you ask someone you trust to find something on your phone for you.
This title appeared misleading to me, and may to others.

When I first wrote this I did not know what Stockpile's pitch is, i.e. fractional stocks. I still think it is misleading, but it now makes more sense.

At first blush, if you are not familiar with fractional stocks, they are advertising $5 of Apple stock and this appears strange since Apple's share price at the time I write this is $160 per share. This would appear to mean they are giving approximately a 3% discount on one share of Apple stock that you buy, which does not take into account fees (there seems to be a $0.99 fee, at a minimum).

However, apparently Stockpile pitches the ability to buy fractional shares of stock, "buy fractions of expensive stocks instead of one full share". I'd encourage people to read the Investopedia article on fractional shares, at http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fractionalshare.asp.

Granted I am not an expert on stocks, but this does not seem like buying stock as much as it is buying shares in a share of stock. Questions that come to mind include: who gets to vote the share, who gets the dividends, do you have to sell through Stockpile, etc. Actually, thinking about it more, it sounds to me like a mutual fund where the fund only contains one stock.
Chicago itself is on a well-arranged grid system, and its south and west suburbs generally follow the same grid (so addresses on a street in one town might proceed from 9200 S to 10400 S, for instance, and the next town picks up at 10400) and thus it's not super important to know exactly which town you're in.

But then there's the north and northwest suburbs...

In most (all?) of the suburbs out in that direction, the overall roads are laid out on exactly same grid as Chicago, but they are numbered with a separate zero location in each town, which in general are not coordinated in any way. So it is vitally important when navigating to know what town you're in and what you're aiming for; and for extra degree of difficulty, many town boundaries run down the middle of the major grid streets, so you can be headed north and addresses on your right will be increasing North addresses from one town and decreasing South addresses from another. And of course the town boundaries are often not well-marked....
> People really love touch id

What? TouchID effectively hands your entire phone contents over to the Feds, as it's significantly easier to compel a fingerprint than a passcode.

There is absolutely nothing to "love" about TouchID, unless you work in law enforcement.
Signed up. Added a few accounts. Tried adding a custom app and it wanted me to subscribe for $29 per month.

I would happily pay for a service like this but not $300+ per year. As is, there is a free account or one targeted at businesses. What about an upgraded single user tier in the $50 per year range?

Also, as others stated, permissions on Github, Dropbox, etc. seem excessive.

For SMS all you have to do is put the SIM card in a different phone, locking your phone does not help.

The only accounts you can change the password with a simple email are low security accounts without much of worth to steal.

I'm sure there are people with more stringent security needs, but most people just need to deter casual snooping and don't need to stop hackers.

I personally do not like having the same security on everything. I find that detrimental. I think phone makers should do a better job of having multiple tiers of security.
There are many ideas to make this workable.

How about this: Did you test your code for buffer overflows? If not, you're negligent.

Maybe you need to submit an affidavit that the code has ben tested, a log from an outside testing service (similar to a building inspector, but for code quality), or some other step to verify that something has been done. For the record, building inspections have flaws, too, but they sure help in spite of those issues!

Many other ideas, but that one is simple to communicate.
I think that a tag-based comment system, where the tag weights are set by user preference, is the best.

Some people might set "funny" to zero, and some might give it +2. Some people could set "inflammatory" to -10, while others might want it at +1.

You don't need many dimensions, and only one tristate control for each: humor/gravitas, inflammatory/huggler, informative/fluff, religious/factual, lefty/righty, vegan/meaty, etc.

It's important to note that in the context of these Apple features, "ID" is for "Identification", not some kind of "User ID" used as a Username.

Username != ID.
Biometric identification works just fine. That's what we use every day between people to identify each other. Machines aren't just very good at it, yet, but Face ID is a step in the right direction.
Linking to the same number happens at the iCloud level. Apple already has hooks in place with carriers to enable "Wi-Fi Calling on iCloud-connected devices", so an iPad/Mac can make/answer calls from the cellular number of an iCloud-linked iPhone (without going through the iPhone at all). The LTE Apple Watch is just another device like that.

Failure to replicate at that rate was an alarm bell indicating that studies were less robust and reproducible than previously assumed.

The jump from the v1 watch to the Series 2 isn't a huge win until you use it - Siri is faster, more reliable, and more responsive, other apps are much more useable, battery life is improved, etc etc.

Much of the improvement on series 2 was invisible, but it helps.
Is your setup actually likely to run into situations where the DNS server is unavailable but Internet access is otherwise working? Basic home setups usually have DNS running (if at all) on the same device (router) that’s also acting as a gateway, so such a selective outage would be unlikely except in the event of misconfiguration - and in that case I’d want my setup to fail hard, personally, so I’d know to fix it, rather than having it silently slow down DNS lookups. Thus I wouldn’t intentionally set a public DNS server as an alternative to the primary one on the router. But maybe your setup is more complex, or you have a use case I’m not thinking of...
> The question of whether or not The State should prevent you from employing force or fraud against another person is itself subject to debate

I mean, if you deny the government's role in enforcing contracts and property rights, then you're not really talking about libertarianism anymore, you've just got good old-fashioned anarchy.
Samsung also has facial recognition on the S8. You can bypass it by printing out a photo of the owner's face. But I would expect Apple's implementation to be more secure and more reliable than previous poor implementations, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.
I'm on board with that, but I find that many (most?) people "reason" by estimating the magnitude of emotional impact.

That is, if I'm "zen" when people do things they shouldn't, to me or to people I care about, then people take that as "I only kind of care". I can politely spell out that it's not OK, that it needs to stop, etc., but some people do not think you are serious unless you are in some sort of heightened emotional state.

So, because they don't see an emotional escalation, when request turn into repercussions (like quitting a job or dis-inviting a guest), then people feel blindsided because I didn't communicate well in their terms (emotionally).

I'm not sure how to resolve this phenomenon. Could I escalate externally while staying innerly peaceful? Do I spell out consequences, basically laying down ulitmatums?

That's because Tesla has the room to properly cool the battery. Phones use batteries as heat sinks for their processors, and heat kills lithium batteries.
In the abstract, not having wires is clearly better in almost all situations - the only catch being, it doesn't take away features that wired tech have (lower latency, higher reliability/bandwidth, etc). Hopefully Apple's decision will spur some innovation in wireless charging/battery tech for headphones. Sometimes even if the decision is dumb, given the existing state of tech, it forces the industry to change, because of the market pressure that Apple exerts.
True. The real interesting part would have been how they bypassed ASLR, DEP and stack canaries.

I'd imagine they used that ratio because it allows (fairly standard) 16:9 videos to be displayed without the notch eating into them.
In this situation, though, the parallel would be more closely stated as "If you invent a cure for cancer, but 1/10000000th of your pills have rat poison, did you kill people through negligence if you acknowledged that you're in a trial period and that there's a small chance they may have a reaction and die and made them sign a waiver accepting that risk?"

Every single person that uses Autopilot acknowledges the risk multiple times before they can use the system.
