I'm not really sure what you mean by "not optional", but my interpretation is "Anyone who disagrees with the reigning philosopher-kings will be fined, jailed, or shot".

I suppose there's ostracism for a non-state solution. So if you're a business, maybe once a year you make all of your employees measure some toads, and if they can't apply a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test correctly on the first try they're immediately fired and added to a shared blacklist.

How exactly are you handling enforcement?
Well, if it was an intentional/coerced backdoor, then it doesn't matter how good of a C programmer the author is. Actually, you could argue the better they are, the higher the risk is that they'd be successful in hiding the backdoor.

Like that other person said, I was just pointing out a potential conflict in that statement.

The last thing anybody wants is for their profession to be automated away, so the conflict of interest is justified, but worth noting.

Also worth noting that you can still get paid if you work for a nonprofit.

Regardless, I think we could use a bit more automation in the legal field given how disproportionately distributed representation seems to be from my perspective as a relatively poor person.

Honestly, it's worth thinking about if I could happily live my life with just this watch and ditching the phone all together.
The AP 1 sensor was in cars for years. No one else was foolhardy enough to try and use it for more than LKA, not because the sensor couldn't do it, but because no one wanted to market an "AP" feature that didn't work 100% of the time it was available
Also curious if it's available to people on obscure prepaid plans. I'm on T-mobile's $30 unlimited data+texting / 100 voice minutes.

Not looking at a new smartwatch until my pebble dies, and not that excited about $70 for built-in LTE (especially if there are ongoing monthly charges), but I'm curious.
Tablets don't fit well in pockets, so I'm never going to carry one all the time. And watches don't have a big enough screen to be my primary device since neither messaging nor music is my primary phone use (reading books, news, and websites is).
I want freedom and access to the source code of my OS and desktop. Wish I could have that with Apple
I have the position that I've had no interest in it, up to this point, for the simple fact that it hasn't functioned as a stand-alone device, general-computing'ish.. until now.

For me, the tethering angle has always been the major, #1, reason not to get involved. I've been in computers since the beginning; having such arbitrary dependencies has been a significant detractor.

However, as an observer of this segment, I have to say - isn't it about time we just had full-blown computers on our wrists, kind of, .. "anyway"? I mean, yeah .. these artificial boundaries make the machines more marketable - totally get that - but .. don't you think you'd adopt the whole platform a little more willingly - in your postulated time-scale - if it weren't for all the dependencies?
Part of the drop in price is because the newer turbines are less intermittent and more reliable.

Capacity factors have been rising for years as the industry matures.

And this is offshore wind, one of the benefits of which is higher capacity than onshore.
I don't want an iPhone (or any phone for that matter). I want this. Being reachable, listening to music and gps is all I want from a "phone". Anyone know if carriers will charge extra for the watch. Cook said something about "great introductory rates" from carriers but I'm not if that refers to the watch or the service.
I ended up getting an apple watch, then returning it for Gear S3.

Major improvements with the gear:

- Looks like a watch
- Always tells the time
- Works with my normal leather watch band
- Has a spotify app

I use mostly just as a watch that can do fitness tracking and recieve notifications from my phone.
More likely they'll be branded as "not believing in science" and unpersoned. But yes, this comment is spot on.
Opposite experience that I had. I was an early first buyer and wore it and talked positively about it. I thought it had utility (being able to take phone calls in the restroom and not having to carry my phone around the office) but in the end I just didn't like wearing it (given the utility). Lately I was not even taking it to work. Just today I did because the cleaning people are at the house and the easiest thing was to put it on my wrist.
Sublime Text works as a simple code editor as well, while Atom has start-up times not far from those of Visual Studio.

Opening files in a running instance of ST is virtually instantaneous. Not sure if it is even possible with Atom.
Off-topic but does anyone know what that atom skin used in the screenshot (https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/378023/29859731-74...) is called?
This is beautiful.

It did continue. They're called Chromebooks now.

Granted it perverted the entire idea of Linux by limiting the user's freedom to run anything but a data-harvesting web-browser, but, semantics.
People are starting to learn that the vast majority of "science" are poorly-controlled white papers that get accepted and are never looked at again unless it is by a group of replication-crazed people (or what I like to call "actual scientists") reviewing conclusions drawn from decades-old papers.

Discouraging replication in the tenure track is a large contributor to this. "Novelty" is literally written in the "guidelines for authors" sections of many journals. They want the newest, brightest, most headline-catching "research" to disseminate. And so do the educational institutions. No wonder why the incentives are so perverse.

On top of this, most accepted research is allowed to be published without open access, open data, open peer-review history (how many rounds did it go, what were the objections, how did the researchers answer them, etc), and with the aforementioned lack of replication.

It's incredibly frustrating being someone who loves science, works in the field of science, and is skeptical about the system, which used to be a prerequisite and is now looked at like luddite behavior.
My dream is to have the watch, and then a cell-enabled iPad in my backpack for when I need more space. It would be perfect!
There's a trade-off still in that with Linux, often you have to spend time fixing things that you wouldn't accept to be broken on an OS you paid for, but at least you can often fix them.

Whereas on MacOS, you're stuck with the decisions Apple made about their window and workspace management, both of which I abhor even after giving MacOS a shot for a year.

Neither is right or wrong, but I feel the same surprise of GP. I don't understand how you could say "proper interface" as if there are no flaws.
Average net worth of a 65 year old is over half a million in the US.

I grew up on the east-coast, but have lived in Santa Barbara for a decade, and I quite embarrassingly said "The 95" instead of "I-95" when visiting home last summer.

Also, how far outside of SoCal does the term "Freeway" get used? The only time I remember hearing it as a youth was in the movie Clueless, but is used all the time here in Santa Barbara.

I noticed greasy pronounced as "greezy" from some people with heavy southern drawls, but not all of them. I wonder if it's something like this driving the difference.
The biggest thing folks I know like about watches on both the Apple and Android side of thing are notifications. I recently got a fitbit and found I wear it in place of my Android watch now. It's purpose-built for fitness monitoring and does a better job at that than Apple/Android have ever done. And it handles notifications. It lasts days on a battery charge and is lighter weight on my wrist. And it's much much cheaper. Plus, if you ever decide to switch to Android, you can keep using your fitbit.

Yes, things turn by turn walking directions on a smartwatch are kinda neat the first time you try them, but the novelty wears off and glancing at your phone twice on a long walk is no bother. But I stopped using pretty much any watch functionality except notifications within a month.

Side note: I'm not sure how well iOS notifications work on fitbit. Apple is notorious for locking out competitors (even going so far as to prohibit mentions of fitbit hardware integration in app descriptions on the app store) and it wouldn't surprise me if this affects fitbit functionality with iOS phones.

Check whether your state has something similar.

Isn't it kinda Unix/BSD (non-Linux) desktop?
I own an Android wear watch, and I use it for three things: GPS and music while running without my phone, shopping list while buying groceries, and checking notifications when I have my phone in my pocket.

When I first got it I thought it was really cool with a small computer on my wrist and tried to think of all sorts of things to do with it, but the truth is that your phone is better at almost everything. The only reason to prefer your watch is if you leave the phone at home or if it's quicker to not take it up from the pocket. If you try do make it do too much you'll probably get tired of it, since it won't be a good choice.
Not sure why people are downvoting you for sharing your opinion on a light subject. (Even though I'm sure you have an accent!)

It took me a lot of work/traveling around the U.S. to detect my own bastardized Michigan accent, which people on both coasts think is very cute and very Canadian+Chicagoan. When I'm feeling playing playful I take it full Fargo to make 'em laugh. My accent is very apparent to me now, and it's made me appreciate all the flavors and refrain from stereotyping.

I really enjoy trying to pinpoint geographic origins from people who have the "TV accent", since there are always subtle indicators that often surprise me after I inquire further into someone's background.

(I agree 100% on "Y'all". Y'all is an awesome contraction; should be considered a legit word and imported north. "You guys" seems clunky compared to y'all, latter of which is one syllable and sounds right.)
I don't either. Just as with the shift from desktops to laptops to mobile, what and how we consume will shift.
As a Michigander, I'd say "Take US131" or "Get on I96 eastbound to M44", just in the same way I'd say "Take a right on Main Street". The United States Highway/Interstate/Michigan abbreviations are pretty common, but optional.

And come to think of it, that's exactly how Waze and Google Maps and Apple Maps turn-by-turn directions read to me. Do these programs use different dialects in Southern California?

I would use the definite article with a route on a transit system, though, for example to identify a bus line or (when in a city that has one) a subway: "I'll ride the 28 home" or "I commute on the 10".
Ask HN: What % of EOL operating systems do you encounter at work?
HN readers who work in the enterprise environment what percentage of your server fleet is running an EOL (end of life/support) operating system? At my current employer, 84% of the fleet is running an EOL operating system. I am treating this as a hair on fire emergency however my management team does not share my concern. I know everybody has one or two systems nobody wants to touch and the guy who used to maintain them was let go in the last round of layoffs but this seems extreme to me.

The form factor is great on these. I see so many smartwatches with a circular screen, that just seems so inefficient to me. A square screen is so much better for usability.
But it's used a lot and makes network connections. If it had a remote-code-execution vulnerability in how it handled connections, then it could provide an easy path for man-in-the-middle attackers to get into systems.

For me it really depends on the highway. To take three different highways as examples, I'd say "395", "I90", and "the 405". --"the 395" wouldn't sound right at all, but neither would "405". And that's having grown up in Washington.

I would be ok with MacOS if Apple wouldn't try so hard to sell me everything else from them. If they instead would push more to open standards and iteroperability, but they are busy building a prison for their customers where they can push them all their products down their throat.

Microsoft is doing the same, but in my opinion not that extreme, because they aren't as successful with it as Apple is.

Google and all the other big corps are doing it too to some degree and thats why I try to stay away from them as far as I can.
If it's a main interstate, then I'll call it "I-[x]".

So I drive on I-5 or I-90.

If it's a spur, then I just use the number. From Redmond, I would get on 405 to go to Bellevue. When I drive from Sunnyvale to Palo Alto, it is usually fastest to take 101 unless it's rush hour.
Google UAC Bid Types: Optimizing for Installs vs. In-App Events
Airbnb Co-Founder Brian Chesky’s 7 Star Design Principal
I understand this. It's just that my brain is a bunghole, and has decided that any maintenance task that the body may need is about the most boring thing it can imagine, and it would rather die than be bored. The body retaliates by pumping the brain full of chemicals that make it want to eat.

The perfectly rational part of my brain has set up activity reminders at work for 11AM, 1PM, and 3PM, presuming that walking to/from the parking lot counts as activity. They literally just say "Get up and move." The lazy jerk part of my brain always responds, "...or don't, and just click off the reminder."

And sometimes it wins. It shouldn't ever win, but it does.

Ultimately, the problem must be that part of me doesn't want to live a long and healthy life. It would prefer to die sooner rather than later. Tracing it, it seems linked to the future prediction part of my brain, which seems to believe that the future will be worse than the present.

I can't really fault its reasoning. If I knew civilization was going to collapse next week, I'd quit my job and spend some time partying. If I knew it was going down in a month, I'd probably check out at work and party at a more sedate pace. So I think I can understand one of the reasons for the US opiate epidemic. For those people, the world as they know it is ending, so they're checking out and partying. Their job is probably gone and not coming back, and maybe no one really cares about them anymore, if anyone ever did. So they can face a long, slow, downward spiral of pain and despair, or they can jump off a cliff and make it a quick rush of euphoria, then no more pain.

Sedentary lifestyle is more of a response to a general malaise. I sometimes don't think I'll ever be able to retire. Most of the jobs I have held have absolutely sucked. And many of my ancestors were at least octagenarians. Rather than spend the next 40 years working for The Man, part of me might be whispering, "being dead is a great excuse to stop working so hard for the exclusive benefit of other people."

So essentially, I probably don't change my habits because I believe that living longer would just allow other people to use me as their pack mule for more years. I don't really want to die, but I haven't really been living for the last 20 years, either. I earn like a software pro, spend like a stingy hobo, and have nothing to show for it, not even social capital.

Why would I invest in myself without even the possibility of getting equity in return? And that's just a really difficult argument to counter. What could I do to get more enjoyment out of life, that would make me want more of it? If America has epidemics of drug addictions and obesity, what does that say about its opinion of the future? Are we all a Rat Park Experiment writ large, pushing our levers in our Skinnerboxes just because there is nothing better to do?

The world needs something new to believe in and spend money on, but I'm not charismatic enough to give it my dreams.

I may be overthinking this.

I always thought the apple watch was frivolous. Then I got one as a gift and cant imagine not having one. The ability to see whether or not a text/call is important without having to pull my phone out of my pocket is a killer feature for me. I always felt that it was rude to do that and this prevents me from having to. The fitness tracker is also really fun to use, and imo more accurate than the fit bit I had.
I often go back and give Qubes_OS a try but then it lets me down with USB passthrough for a lot of devices I need - not least a USB tethered Internet connection (or USB Networking). It just is so complicated that I gave up and I'll look again when they get to version 4.
While we're at it, why don't we replace high school math tests with one question: "Solve the Riemann hypothesis". We can replace the physics curriculum with "Unify quantum mechanics with general relativity", and throw out computing courses in favour of "Prove whether or not P = NP".

It's important to re-do things which others have already worked out, in order to reach a greater understanding :)
Can you surf the web on it? That's all I do on my phone.
But isn't reading much better on a larger screen? If all you do is reading, maybe you'll find yourself with an e-reader in a few years? Or a smaller tablet (iPad mini?)
If you impose mandatory higher standards for pay, benefits and training on temp employment agencies, a great many of these jobs will simply cease to exist. Given they're employing some of the most resource-challenged people, such a social intervention is liable to cause far more harm than good.

Phablets won over <4" smartphones. In a similar fashion "whones" which have large landscape screens with voice control could be cool. So primary use for smartphones isn't making calls and similarly "whones" should leave behind the "showing time" functionality.
i imagine its a negative feedback loop. unhealthy people move less and become even more unhealthy.

that being said, obesity correlates positively with inactivity. being less sedentary is a huge goal of mine to improve my health, pvalues or not
> It would be nice if Android and iOS provided a convenient way to activate Bluetooth temporarily, only when needed.

I can't speak about iOS, but if you're willing to do a little tweaking there are multiple ways to do this on Android devices.

The simplest is probably with "Llama - Location Profiles" though it's no longer actively developed. Disable or edit the default profiles that shift your phone to quiet, etc. and create your own that toggle wifi, Bluetooth, etc based on events or on a widget you create. The Bluetooth toggle action lets you specify on/off/on for X minutes, etc. The only issue I might see there is if a fitness tracker is seen as a connected device as far as Android is concerned. I'll note that mine does not show up on the list of devices.

The more maintained option would be doing something similar with Tasker, but I haven't tried it.

Tasker can be triggered by NFC using something like "NFC ReTag Pro", and Llama can have a trigger based on an NFC tag as well.

Then the rule is "you should unquestionably believe in claims from the set A, but not from the set B, and there's no way we can tell for each case to which set it belongs. But we will always claim it's A". Not a very objective or useful rule.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the main issue was that papers were being replicated, but the results weren't being published (especially if they were negative). These problems were always being discovered, but the record was never being corrected.
It is not useful because it is not usable with a 20mph limit. This is from personal experience. Stop and go traffic speed changes continuously. Let's say you are driving at 10mph and traffic then starts moving at 30mph, but your Autopilot will limit you to 20mph. Then you have to disable AP and starting driving. Again when traffic slows down, you will have to re-enable it. At that point it is not very helpful
