Probably not as rock bottom as many others here, but here goes.

I did well in school for most of my life and did coding since a young age. Landed a job in a big tech company (hardware) right after college, for like $50k base. Thought I was hot shit my entire life up until this point. After 2 years here, a friend of mine who got into the company with me at the same time landed a software job in SF Bay Area for something like a 60% pay increase. I thought hey I should be able to do the same. Other factors were in play too but long story short I quit my job before landing a next one.

Months went by and I couldn't land a job. Thought about applying to retail jobs but didn't pull the trigger. In the mean time, I got into a car accident totalling my car. I wasn't seriously injured, but the car was one of the only things I had, and I was also effectively home-bound and much harder to get to interviews then. Then, my parents got divorced because of some of my actions during this time (years of build-up too of course, but I triggered the decision of it). Finally after a few months I landed a job doing web dev at a friend's agency, but at very little pay (sub-$30k pay), since the agency itself was struggling too. I was only hired because my friend insisted, as he really wanted to help me out. Things were slightly better then. But soon after that, the girl I was seeing at the time (not officially in relationship, or even dating regularly really) died in a car accident.

At this point I did buy another car (a cheap one I could afford, with minimal down payment and a loan). A few months later though, I would get into a different car accident (minor one). It was my fault, and minor enough that calling it in the car insurance was a bad idea and it was better to just pay cash to the other party to settle it. At this point in time my bank account was down to 3 digits, probably $600~700. And I was supposed to pay this guy $1500 in 2 or 3 weeks. (I don't think I'm a bad driver, in fact, in the 15+ years I've been driving, these were just about the only accidents I had.) This was when it was obvious I couldn't continue working in the web dev agency with my friend. Fortunately this time I now had a year of actual professional web dev experience on my belt, not just some unrelated hardware experience. I landed a job quickly and this was the beginning of the comeback.

Long story short, the company I joined happened to become one of the hypergrowth unicorns. The comeback part of this is less interesting than the rock bottom part. A few years of hard work in, and I'm now a millionaire. Got married to a great partner. Things are going well.
The big thing about TouchID and FaceID is that they are great ways of enforcing a higher level of security than nothing... Prior to these technologies many people I knew did not bother having PINs or were using 1234 because remembering a complex PIN or having to type in something long is too laborious.
It's an argument used "against" women with good reason, I'm sure the stay at home father in the article wasn't the one carrying the children and giving birth?
Yes, this is the best part. Joint effort makes all editors better for tooling.
> They don't have enough electricity to keep their cities lit at night.

They certainly don't devote enough capacity to do that, but that could be in part priorities for use.
That's true, but it's not a sufficient argument. An integrated MiniDisc player would also not stop you from playing music from files stored on the phone, but it wouldn't be a strong argument for including an integrated MiniDisc player.
You may also want to recall that you are not the sole user of iPhones. Selfies are a valid use case even if you personally aren't a fan.

Jesus. The adapter is like $7. Just leave it attached to your musical instruments and mixing boards.
You guys have been saying it's peak Apple for almost a decade. I'm tired of waiting, when do we get to the other side?
People keep saying this, but I've never seen any evidence provided... he was flying from Hong Kong to South America through Moscow, because none of those nations were likely to interfere on behalf of America. His passport was pulled while he was in Moscow, preventing him from boarding his flight. Russia saw more value in keeping him as a potential bargaining chip than in killing him or returning him, so he's still in Moscow. None of this, AFAIK, has been refuted by anyone that could meaningfully refute it.

What am I missing? If he had intended to end in Russia, you can be damn sure the USG would have publicly refuted the notion that they'd pulled his passport.
> (which is a big if in today's world of yearly disposable smartphones)

The auto industry heavily recycles. Pretty much every major part costs extra if you don't return the old "core" so it can be re-manufactured. Autos are stripped down before the frame is crushed. Not doing so leaves money on the table. I don't see EVs being much different.
Im on a project thats replacing react because of this issue. I don't agree with that descision, but lawyers.

We're going with Inferno. Vue feels like a better Angular, not a better React. It's not even comparable to React. It's just too clunky.

One pleasant surprise in this Facebook purge has been the discovery of seamless-immutable. It's far easier to work with, especially if you're using Typescript, which makes Immutable an absolute pain.
That's a bizarre reaction to a little black bar. 'Meh' or 'Bleh' seem more appropriate.
The same can be said about mobile phone when it was first introduced.
"Look at that mobile phone ad, he was spending time with his family outside the house and then getting distracted by a phone call! This would never happen if we only have landline phone!"
Wonder if this watch supports tethering because it is standalone. It would be nice to connect my laptop to the watch and browse internet.

Here is the deleted post from below, repeated verbatim. I'll put it here so it doesn't get lost.

QUOTE:

"Cruise employee here. throwaway for obvious reasons. It needs to be said that this is entirely marketing smoke and mirrors. The Cruise platform is significantly behind most other players in the market, and is having many many technical problems because of shortsighted leadership on Kyle's part, including high level people quitting (the head of planning and controls left last month because of Kyle, and more are threatening to quit) The reason I'm saying this is that this sort of public "everything is fine, we are the best" posturing leaks inwards. The opposite is very much true. Employees are very upset with Kyle because of things just like this. I make no exaggeration when I say Kyle is a mean-spirited, selfish person in private, and is very quick to publicly take credit for the work of others that he has emotionally and verbally abused. It's truly one of the most toxic environments I've ever been a part of."
Yeah, like I mentioned in my other comment, it sucks to need to do that in the first place. The store is well out of the way for many people, myself included, and I shouldn't have to be okay with wasting my time and generating landfill just to do something as basic as plug a pair of headphones in.
Mining somewhere where electricity is cheap and then sending the coin address to NK where electricity is comparatively more expensive makes more sense to me. Plus it keeps them on a leash to whoever funnels the funds.

Are there site that do that? I know hackernews limits your voting abilities until you get so much karma.

Sounds like some variation of the above ideas would work great. The vote from a random troll who doesn't understand the community's rules shouldn't count as much as other votes but I'm not sure how you would implement it in a way that wouldn't be abused.
remember, on the back there's a giant bump for the camera as well...
You guys seriously did a good thing with nested and collapsable comments.

Reddit's comment structure remains by far the best on the internet. You should definitely be proud of that.

It does too. My bad.
Realizes how immoral and corrupt the government is, thinks that these immoral and corrupt people might do him physical harm, evades that harm. Yeah, total coward. C'mon, really?
>fire worked as a technology well before we truly understood underlying physics.

Just following the analogy; what science was fire validating during that time? Just because something works doesn't mean it wasn't created by trial and error.
If jobs of all levels of difficulty are to be compensated the same, what then counts as a job? Would I be able to get paid for sitting around thinking?

It also sounds like you're basically proposing we give people free money. That could be a fine thing to do, but then why not give it out explicitly, instead of holding wages fixed?

> That's funny. I tend to skip the article and go into the comments.
> Comments tell me "what's wrong with the article", and in doing so, give you a good picture of what the article is about.

I'm similar. You could think of articles as one giant comment from a single person. I'd rather read comments from several people as it's much easier to spot bias and get a variety of viewpoints.
You are oversimplifying a bit. Reaching to superiors has proven to be ineffective way to bring attention to crimes in his organization. After that was established, he reached out to respected journalists instead of doing something irresponsible like leaking indiscriminately like Wikileaks do.
For many, the Genius Bar may be hours away. For me it is over 3 hours. A full day of driving to deal with a Genius? I'll take my chances with the forums - they have yet to let me down.

I mean, just to expand on this.... there's no explicit sync, and no explicit backup. It's always synced. It's always backed up.

Imagine you walk into an Apple Store and pick up the latest iPhone XV. And there you are looking at your phone, your contacts, your apps, everything.

Underneath, it's a virtual shim. In the first instant it's merely grabbing thumbnails of all your apps and notification metadata so it can "look right". As you click in, scroll around, you polyfill data as you need it. Obviously in some cases a more substantial download would be needed, so you may not be able to pop into an AR game with 1GB of assets within the first 10 seconds of picking up the device, but if your primary is on the LAN you could bring the necessary data locally in ~5 seconds from tapping the icon. Underneath it's doing something analogous to "docker run" on that apps image. In some cases this would lock the image from running concurrently on another device, in other cases multi-master could be fully supported with live sync of the backing stream, e.g. for Apple Mail.

Whatever the cause, it seems like we should look upstream and leave Google out of it.
I have a pixel (and previously a Nexus 5x) and I easily and naturally unlock using the fingerprint sensor on the back as I remove the device from my pocket. The sensor is located within very close proximity to where my index finger naturally falls where doing so.

Which is to say, although the rear position may not work well for you personally, this may be a question of user preference with no generally superior solution.
Than if you just reported ordinary income from a job? I don't see how that could be anything but "more".

A Unified Approach to Solving Seven Programming Problems
If my phone is any evidence, that would smoke the watch's battery.
Not sure if it was the selling itself or the profiteering that was the problem; I lean towards the latter. IIRC Jesus didn't say anything directly, but Hebrews 10:4 is pretty direct on it: "It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins."

It is indeed fascinating to contrast the ritualism of the Old Testament to the anti-ritualism of the New.

In iOS you have to provide the passcode to change any settings related to payments and security (among other things.)

Anytime you go 24 hours without unlocking your phone you are also required to give the passcode.

Obligatory xkcd :)

Well I think the notch at top of iPhone X is to make it a top notch phone.
Ugh. So wireless charging is great. I really wanted that because having tried some Qi cases and charging gear, it is pretty magical. And the decision to use a glass back makes sense there.

However, Apple seems to just forget that people use their damn phones in cars. Waze is my GPS because no matter how much my car's built in GPS tries, it's not going to be as good as a thing connected to the internet. And in the car I hate to use the damn charger, so yay wireless charging right? Not so fast. Your choices are limited to a big clunky clamp style holder, or a little tiny magnetic holder that usually goes over one of the vents. Guess what? Magnetic holders don't work with wireless charging. Or rather they could, but the ones I've tried (available on Amazon) were complete shit that broke almost immediately.

There are several options to fix this problem:

a. Car manufacturers could include some kind of standard solution to this. At the least they could make a spot to easily mount a phone and make sure it doesn't obscure the driver's view too much while still being visible. Instead they keep insisting on adding bigger and bigger screens. Sometimes they'll go as far as adding a touch screen (looking at you Tesla) for no goddamn reason. Just give me a nice place to put an aftermarket phone cradle. Or at least don't add a 22" monitor where I want to put one.

b. Apple and/or Samsung could lead the industry in making wirelessly charging magnetic car mounts. It's not impossible to do, and magnets would actually help align the phone so charging is efficient wrt the induction coil used. Sure it has a nice glass back, but who gives a crap if I now need to add an ugly rubber case with a 2.5" steel washer to it just to get it mounted?

I get that Apple thinks CarPlay is their long term solution to this. But I think universal adoption by car manufacturers on that one is probably at least 5 years away. And even so, lifetime of older cars is like what 15-20 years?

This is why we can't have nice things.
Isn't this a tenet of bitcoin? Not being outright controllable by the will of a government?
All that post says is that it is common to use it incorrectly, which it is, but we should not encourage bad habits.
That's assuming there's really anyone left.
And actually, a pergola/patio roof might be enough for a whole solar installation. I found a coffee stand with a metal frame solar roof and it made me think I should redo my patio roof as a solar system; I like the idea of not having to mount anything to my roof.

Plus, you can built it on the ground and then just tilt it up and bolt into place.
The wild thing is, apple kind of already did this with handoff, and the iOS/OSX syncing. If my phone is ringing in the kitchen, and i have my laptop with me on the couch i'll get an alert and i can answer the call on my laptop. Or iPad. It doesn't even need to be near the phone, as long as they both have wifi or LTE connected. And while ipads don't do multiple users, on OSX if my roommate or someone else signed in then their calls and messages would come through too. When configged right, even texting to/from real numbers works.

They obviously already have this tech most of the way there and just... haven't implemented it?
How about this:

separate buttons for "this is a good/bad argument" and "i agree/disagree with this"

then give more voice to people whose votes on these two axes are orthogonal.

this rewards policing bad arguments on your side, or finding good arguments on the other side.
> the audio quality and pairing are stellar if you can deal with their fit/shape

Wait, you mean for music? I've tried them once and I felt as soon as there's more than 5-6 instruments the expression goes way down, it becomes basically impossible to even identify all the strands. Would not recommend - you can get something like AKG k702's for cheaper and get better sound.
>If you harvested images of Sri Lankans online you would probably need less than a million to get a false positive.

Bearing in mind that FaceID uses a depth map of the face, you'll need more than photos harvested online. They also specifically said that they've tested against realistic masks to make sure they won't work, so I don't think it'll be quite as bad as you imagine!
>>> Facebook has solved this with their 'reaction' icons

The Globe and Mail (Canadian national newspaper and growing media company) has executed something similar.

They actually have some pretty innovative work going on (at least with respect to the rest of Canadian media), and maintain a lab for this express purpose.

At the same time, he also leaked information on legimate surveillance programs. Not everything he reported was a crime. It's not exactly a black and white issue.
Let me clarify. The hourly rate I was referring to was what the contractor gets. Not what the agency gets. I tell the recruiter and my manager the offer I think we should make the person and let the higher ups negotiate the bill rates the agency will charge the company. I haven't been second guessed yet.
Ahaha you're kidding, right?

Google sits on more interaction data than anyone and a 100bn gold mine and reinvests a significant amount of money back into improving Search, which is not a solved problem, and your question is why a few hobbyists haven't recreated it?
Unfortunate display of the intrinsic value of bitcoin as an anonymous[1], decentralized store of value.

> I am quite convinced that the nature of US political discourse is largely determined by the predominant media

There are plenty of historical examples of partisan clashes like the USA’s "conservative versus liberal/progressive" one without a modern media. Just look at some of the appalling rhetoric between the two parties of the time in 19th-century America, or the clashes between the Blues and Greens in Constantinople.

Choosing a tribe to belong to and then adapting a harsh “us versus them” stance seems to be a human universal. Modern media has only capitalized on something that was already there.
> Systemd as a project run by people abuses this confusion. In the minds of most normal people, when you prefix a name with another name, you're implying a deep association

no, just no. Nobody get confused by GNU emacs being prefixed with the same brand than GNU tar or GNU make.

> Did name resolution, NTP, and so forth really gain anything tangibly meaningful from their assimilation, other than integration with systemd? Did those services gain more than they lost in annoyances by system admins troubleshooting the changes?

As an user, I certainly gained much from only having to learn a single, predictable config format that GUI tools can parse easily, vs 1 different config format for each and every service under the sun. The only things it misses in my opinion is power management (eg upsd / nutd).
That's the thing though there were almost no supply-chain leaks this time. It wasn't a bunch of different cases and other parts that let us know what was going on.

It was leaks of software images, and those revealed WAY more than case leaks ever could have.
> The data is suspect at best and should require a third party evaluation.

And the NHTSA doesn't count as a third party?

> I'm speculating that the reason for that 40% safety improvement is more a result of the difference between where autopilot can and cannot be used.

To say that tesla owners without autopilot tend to drive in situations with 40% more likelihood of accidents than those with autopilot, sounds like a massive stretch without data of your own.
I'm reminded of the spectrum of reactions to the new Prius design by the comments on the notch
To be honest, it is because reddit still feels... frivolous? It doesn't have the toxicity that it did a couple years ago, nor the shallowness of its nothing-but-cat-pictures reputation. But neither is it a good platform for gaining customers or revenue. It is a place to gain traffic, but traffic without revenue is not the goal for most organizations. Now, if reddit traffic converted, I'd look deeper at it - but when traffic from reddit has conversion rates that are 25% that of the traffic from other social media? I just see no reason to engage any deeper.
There are some assignments due that you have to turn in to get to each part of the course.
One way he's made these keynotes his own is by the humanity he's injecting into them. I've noticed that whenever there's a big keynote after some big crisis or tragedy, he'll acknowledge them in a very sincere way. I'm still moved by his brief remarks and moment of silence after the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.
There's been speculation (which makes a lot of sense to me) that they've always done it this way, and even though it may not be a good idea it was just "the process".

Now that it's a bit in them so bad they'll probably change the way they do it, which I'm guessing they haven't thought about in a long time.
