> (hint: it's not when taking taxes, commute and accomodation into account)

this is important to keep in mind. the people who are the true high earners are making 500k+, sometimes married to someone else who also does. the real outliers make millions. they are the ones buying multi-$million houses in the bay area, LA, NY, etc. it's not mysterious overseas chinese and arab buyers. it's high earning americans taking home 30, 40 thousand dollars a month or who struck it big with equity.

it's a scam. don't fall for it. if you want to make millions, go for it, but don't commit slow suicide over the marginal difference in a high-tax state.

furthermore, 200k is NOT a stepping stone between 100k and 500k. that's not how it works for the vast majority of people, i.e. people who are not gifted at management and corporate politics. if you're in the true high earner range, you did a LOT of stuff to get there, such as medical school, law school, or similar, or busted your ass starting your own company years ago, or were simply granted some kind of employee stock which you had very little control over (good for you, not so good for anyone else on a normal salary).

Which is funny because my parents say the same thing about vanaman and video games.

They think video game devs/writers like vanaman are the propagator of filth and garbage. There are people who accuse vanaman and game devs for columbine and school shootings. And he has the gall to pretend to have the high ground?

What ever happened to free speech and if you don't like it, then don't watch it or play it?

Honestly, what's the difference between vanaman and the people protesting violent video games and demanding they be banned?

Non-hearing aid hearing aids – The Bose Hearphones
Because it already has? If you look at watches (not the fitbit step counter band type devices), the AW has outsold everyone one else. I see AWs all the time. Non-techie friends who I play bball with are showing up with AWs now, and these are people who never would have tried any other sport type band. The common theme among these people is that the health tracking drew them in, but all the other features with alerts, etc... end up being really useful.
As far as I know, all of those syndicates are out of business after the lottery retired the Cash Winfall game. (And yup, that's me. I could probably make my HN bio a little more explicit on this point.)
I tried this feature when it was available only in pilot mode. It was very nice and fitted quite well my uses. But the UX back then could use some improvements. For example, opening a new tab in a specific container took way too many clicks. And you couldn't just to CTR+T because it would always open the tab in the default container, rather than that of the active tab.

I'll concede that I'm not as economically literate as I'd wish, but this doesn't make sense to me. The "1%-ers" don't tend to store their wealth in land, do they? How would this proposal even out the wealth-gap when it is essentially blind to the mechanisms that the rich use to store their wealth?

If anything, this idea seems like it would only harm the (already struggling) middle-class, who may have little equity beyond their home/hand.
An obvious disadvantage is that you don't have LIDAR inputs. I guess it would be rather difficult to hack ETS such that it generates them.
Here in Canada a wireless plan that would allow me to stream Apple Music constantly throughout the day would cost a frigging fortune, I mean hundreds and hundreds of dollars per month.

Uhh, affording a house in LA/SF/NYC is an absolutely collosal amount of money. You sure ain't middle class anymore.

My hope is that it'll be a very near future for me. I spend a good 70%+ of my waking life in front of a screen. I really don't need it when I'm out and about.

If I need to deal with something with more than a quick dictated sentence, I'll get to a computer and address it head on. If it's REALLY important and it needs my attention immediately, then we'll talk on the phone.
For fitness and heart rate tracking it's pretty nice. Add in alerts and other integrations and the AW quickly become something I was skeptical of, to something I wear every day.

And while minor, the geek in me smiles every time my MBP logs me in automatically using the AW.
Exactly the same for me. I had ChosunTruck bookmarked but Europilot looks much nicer at first glance.

Another related thing that I wanted to check out is this: https://github.com/Microsoft/AirSim although that only gives you the sim and you have to do the machine learning part completely yourself.
This is true and I think the main reason people don't like windmills in their view. One cannot really relax when there is that kind of movement, especially in your peripheral vision. Millions of years of our ancestors being eaten by predators made certain of that.

Neat! You get your choice of linear histories depending on how much detail you want.

> Similarly, Gensler's 2016 UK Workplace Survey found that workers were more likely to innovate if they had access to a range of spaces supporting different working styles – including private, semi-private and open-plan environments.

This is my favorite part, because it confirms an intuition I've held for a long time: both open areas and private offices have their uses, so provide both. The only downside I can see is that it's expensive to implement, which is, I'll grant, non-trivial.
I am happy after the React fiasco these libraries are finally getting lime light. I have personally used DIO.js (https://dio.js.org), Vue.js and Inferno, but not Hyperapp. So far I have seen DIO outperform almost every library in heavy view cases (table with ~ 1k rows and rows itself having deep nesting). I am curious however how does hyperapp perform.

Actually tests were made by the FTC, when a Telco (LightSquared) asked to use for satellite usage, a frequency band reserved for terrestrial usage (LTE). Those tests shown how GPSs become easily erroneous if there are more powerful radio sources in vicinity, that use close frequencies.

I object to the "completely" part. The key issue is applications, smartwatches are still a solution searching for a problem. The Apple Watch has a clear mass appeal but its uses are still far from being a "killer application".

An old QR app I had for a long time (from when QR codes were first introduced, many years ago) failed to read it too. Some of the bits look ambiguous too --- e.g. taking the upper left corner bit of the upper left locator square to be (0,0), what's the bit at (16,11)? It's both noticeably darker and lighter than its neighbours, like it was cut out and then grew back slightly.

Those which can't read the code probably use traditional thresholding to reduce the input into 0-1 first, while those which can are using some variation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-decision_decoding algorithm.

It doesn't help either that the middle was blanked out, eating into the error correction budget.

We had this at the university computer labs (users facing each other), and it looks like it's the same situation in the lead photo of the linked article.

I'm working from home, so I'm spared this, but my employer is also moving to a new building with an open office design. I'm guessing this is just case of architects/designers designing what they would want to use, rather than considering the needs of software engineers.
AW could mean both Apple Watch and Android Wear. I understand what you mean by context, but please be more careful with acronyms.

Regarding your point, I think it's probably right. Just like compact cameras are better at taking pictures than smartphones are, a lot of people will probably settle for good enough and use a device that can do lots of things pretty well.

If you asked him on any given day how he was feeling, he’d reply: “It’s the worst day of my life,” no matter whether he was comatose with depression or talking to you on your wedding day. It was almost like my dad had lost his inner compass to tell you how he was feeling: even if he acted like he was feeling better, he’d tell you he was feeling worse.

I remember feeling like that. Having a good day, or starting to emerge from a particularly deep low, suddenly you feel more intensely, and you're doing more, and you see all the lost potential of the previous days. One of the nice numbing things about depression is that nothing seems possible. You can see the difference between what's possible for you and what's possible for other people, and it's humiliating, but the idea that you could do better is a dead one with no emotional potency. Then your depression lifts a little bit, and you look back with the perspective of a slightly higher capacity to perform, and it's crushing to see the time and possibilities you wasted. It's like depression holds a little back so it can hit you one more time in the gut on the way out, to remind you that it will be back.
The summary results for Swift do not reflect the individual tests. There is a single anomalous test, reflex-redux, where the Swift implementation sucks badly.

Anecdotally, Swift string handling makes it easy to do the right thing when handling Unicode strings, but also makes it easy to burn up several orders of magnitude too much CPU when you use those functions for simple tasks. I once saved three orders of magnitude clock time by dropping to POSIX IO and C run time library string handling for an application that needed to read a text file containing 10000 lines of 81 digits at launch and process them as single digits.
I don't intuitively understand why Go was so space efficient (#2 and ahead of C) but then so time+energy inefficient wrt C (3.23 and 2.83 vs 1.00 and 1.00).

Thanks for the comment :)

Hyperapp doesn't outperform DIO.js, but that was never the mission I embarked on with this project. You can see it benchmarked <https://rawgit.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark/master/> among many other frameworks and you can see it's on the same ballpark as React.

The goal of this project is to minimize the concepts you need to learn to write a modern frontend app while staying on par with what other libraries can do; deliver good performance, but not at the sake of a clumsy or awkward API; reduce the boilerplate and still follow our "simplified" take on Flux or the Elm architecture if you prefer.

Hyperapp is unreservedly functional, we don't have stateful components, use `this`, classes or have more than one way to do the same thing.

We are not just about saving bytes either, but size and our brutally small code base is important for a few reasons. The idea behind the entire thing being 300 LOC is that _anyone_ can understand how everything works within a few hours. It's genuinely possible to understand not just what it does, but how it does it.

IMHO a normal person can't do that with React, or DIO, or most of the other large-ish frameworks out there. Even Preact, I found it too large for my taste. Yes, minified and gzipped is like 3.4 KB, but that translates to almost 800 LOC. It's an outstanding achievement considering it's just a fraction of React, but you are only getting React+ReactDOM.

Hyperapp is not perfect, but you are getting React+ReactDOM+Redux+ReduxThunk out of the box.

Just for a light (and harmless) comparison, this is a +/- counter in DIO.js:

class Counter {
getInitialState () {
return {
count: 0
}
}
increment () {
return {
count: this.state.count + 1
}
}
decrement () {
return {
count: this.state.count - 1
}
}
render () {
return [
this.state.count,
h('button', {onClick: this.increment}, '+'),
h('button', {onClick: this.decrement}, '-')
]
}
}

dio.render(Counter);

And here is the same in Hyperapp:

app({
state: 0,
actions: {
add: state => state + 1,
sub: state => state - 1
},
view: (state, actions) =>
<div>
<button onclick={actions.add}>+</button>
<h1>{state}</h1>
<button onclick={actions.sub}>-</button>
</div>
})

Certainly they do. That is why societies make laws. I am not a Randian.
I feel the Apple Watch in particular will suffer from the singularness of its design. Android Wear might be clunky, but at least its watches have a variety of body shapes and materials. Aside from bands, there's no such choice in the Apple ecosystem: buying one means buying into the Apple look. People want to differentiate themselves by the things they wear on their bodies, and even the best industrial design or technology won't necessarily lure them over.
It's the data overage charges that he's referring to. We pay upwards of $80 a month for 6GB. Tack on $10 more for AW, but you're still going to blow through 6GB.

I am curious on the hardware build out used for the storage nodes. Some of the major issues I have seen with all the appliances out there for storage are the following:

1. Network throughput on the appliance is fast but for an Enterprise level the 10gigE cards used become a bottleneck for transactions because of how the software hypervisor scales the data.
2. Power consumption of the appliances in a rack mount environment are too high and leave needed space that has to stay empty because of the facility power per rack limitations.
3. The software hypervisor scales the stack vertically and relies on the software to load balance horizontally. The performance in a high transactional environment becomes dependent on the software to scale instead of the natural horizontal distribution that can be setup on the hardware out of the box. Standard multi-purpose storage arrays scale horizontal with very little over head from traditional software storage management. I only found one company whose software does not force the stack to be vertical but they fail to meet a reasonable performance in network/power.

Streaming petabytes of data to keep a dynamic constant (static overall storage requirement that changes it's data life cycle via retention rules) becomes very hard with premade hardware.

Does anyone have any recommendations or has attempted a similar exodus from S3 that they can share?
And as a side note, someone has to consider how in some parts of the US you can legally drive a car at 14 or 15 (of course with some limitations, but not that many), at 16 or 17 you can get an airplane or helicopter pilot license, yet you become of age at 18 and you cannot drink beer or get an unrestricted commercial driver's license before turning 21.

Somehow these age limits sound contrasting each other.
> The key issue is applications, smartwatches are still a solution searching for a problem.

No they aren't, they're just not yet appealing to everyone. Running with my Apple Watch (Series 2 GPS) and Airpods has literally changed my life for the better. It's incredibly freeing to have no iPhone on my armband and track things like time, heart rate, speed and cadence without holding anything at all or having wires bouncing around my shoulders.

And that's just fitness! I also cook a lot; having a phone call through my watch is amazing, especially when I combine it with my Airpods. My hands can be sticky, dirty, etc and I don't even need to hold anything or carry it with me.

Just because it doesn't appeal to you and your lifestyle doesn't mean it is a "solution searching for a problem."
One of the reasons Youtubers are moving to Patreon is a lack of trust in Google to provide a platform that generates a stable income, due to their demonetizing of accounts,arbitrary tweaks in the algorithm, refusal to defend Fair Use, etc.

I use "sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail" all the time to find the most frequent items, so McIlroy's program is no surprise.

Compared to something like python's heapq.nlargest, though, there's a key difference: The first sort has to temporarily keep all the items (storage: O(n)) and it has to sort them all (time: O(n lg n)). With another algorithm, the storage is only O(d+m) where d is the number of distinct words and m is the number of most frequent items sought; and I think the complexity of the d operations on an m-item heap is O(d lg m). Since typically m << d << n, this can be a big savings in storage and time!
