The idea that because someone is inconvenienced they are somehow not "participating in society" is absurd. It was an unfortunate situation, it is bad the person felt embarrassed for a disability, but the solution is not to force regulation and maintenance costs on everyone - that is a road to bankruptcy.
I think this is wonderful. I remember when people said talking about how far something is in time units was a "Pittsburgh thing" ;)
Hi HN,
This is Jakub, founder of Estimote, Inc.

We have just released and published to GitHub https://github.com/Estimote/iOS-Indoor-SDK
an update to Indoor Location SDK. It does use sensor-fusion built-it into ARKit, thus dramatically improves accuracy.

It is also possible to keep session persistence, so all mobile users in the same location will see the same virtual objects via AR mobile apps.

People by default care about what others think. It starts before kindergarten and is normal human psychology. No training is necessary of that.

Neverthess, thinking the issue is just about insults is naive. The actual uncensored (especially anonymous) forum means hardcore bdsm porn posted for fun in the discussion about gardening or child raising. Or very disgusting pic of vivisection of animal. Or calls for another holocaust along with floorplan of your house.

It also means most 'normal' people leave elsewhere due to above. Cause most people dont need above in their lives.

Moreover, insults have meaning and it matters. If you ignore them, you are more likely to become target of bullying or mobbing. Because people parrot what they see and the more you allow it, the more people join on that to look like members of stringet group - to get popular. Or they simply feel it is socially ok.

In the work, it affects your ability to push for ideas, to get leadership position, to get raise, to be trusted and given a bit more autonomy. All of that matters.
> Now compare that with the Spanish government. Banning a referendum, raiding political parties and Catalonian government offices, arresting government officials, flirting with far-right politics, de-facto suspending the Catalonian autonomy and basically abandoning any democratic dialog.

The irony is that many who support the independence of Catalonia are against independence of current EU member states and fail to see the inherent dangers in the centralization of power (many such dangers exemplified by this very article and listed by you).

I do like inductive charging, but I often find myself futzing about on my phone in bed at the end of the day, and my phone's on 5%. So I plug it in and keep using it. Hard to do that with inductive charging.

Lucene 7.0 released
Self-determination of peoples is a jus cogens law and a cardinal principle in international law. It's part of the UN's Charter and it's enshrined in many international treaties subscribed by Spain and by the European Union.

For years Catalonia has formally requested for this right to be exercised in different ways, and the Spanish government has made every effort to stop any possible way to channel this right. This has continued until today, when the Spanish militarized police has raided the Catalan institutions and arrested members of the Catalan government that was elected with the mandate to let Catalans exercise this right in spite of the official Spanish position, which it's trying to do through a referendum where both positions in favor and against independence may have equal opportunities to be heard.

Spain has always defended that this right to self-determination is confined to colonies because it would otherwise conflict with the also very important principle of territorial integrity. However, the International Court of Justice explained in its Advisory Opinion of 22 July 2010 regarding the case of Kosovo that “the scope of the principle of territorial integrity is confined to the sphere of relations between States”. Thus, even unilateral declarations of independence do not conflict with the aforementioned principle: “general international law contains no applicable prohibition of declarations of independence“.[0]

Your solipsism is preventing you from understanding my point.

It does not matter what policies you support. It does not matter who you give a middle finger to. You are not the supreme emperor. What you support does not become law. Laws come about through a process involving great numbers of humans who are acting as a consequence of their biases.

>The world isn't perfect, and I don't expect perfect policy decisions to be made all the time.

That's, again, not the point. The point is that policy decisions which affect all races equally are not available in many cases, no matter who you give the finger to.

>And that's where the power of fair governance comes into play.

What power? Who decides what constitutes fair governance? Who makes sure fair governance is what happens? Please do not reply by saying you give a middle finger to everyone who doesn't support fair governance. That is not an answer.

>You said the wall is a racial issue

It's an issue which affects the racial demographics of the United States, which over the past 50 years have been changing dramatically. Those are not controversial facts.

This discussion has been racial since the comment I initially replied to which suggested Donald Trump has a "solid pulse on scared white men".
I'm surprised Google would be interested in "only 100 engineers" from HTC that I almost don't see the point. Are those engineers that important to Google's smartphone hardware efforts? Is it that much easier to acquihire them for $300 million than hire them one by one?

There's no reason your distance graph should correspond to any continuous mapping of the plane. Two distances constrain a third point to one of two spots. Add a third distance and unless you get lucky, there will be no valid corresponding point in the codomain.
I don't think that could be it in this case.

The LTE version is only $70 more. That's not going to wow anyone. (Well, plus a monthly service charge, which is more significant financially, but has no weight as a status symbol.) Meanwhile, there are more expensive upgrades that are at least as obtrusive, like the stainless-steal case and those designer bands.

I mean, I don't really get it either, but it isn't this.

Maybe it's just a way to highlight a significant new feature?

Playing devils advocate: Spain has a constitution that was signed by Catalonian reps in the 70s. It's the constitution which prevents the referendum from happening. (I believe for a referendum to be constitutional, Spain's "federal" parliament would have to agree to it and the whole country would have to vote).

Personally I feel this whole comparison between the 2 situations highlights the cultural differences: consensus seeking anglo-saxons, conflict/imposition-driven Hispanics/Latins. (non-hispanic latin here)

You've got to be kidding. Have you actually tried that with highly complex documents using tracked revisions, comments, embedded objects, and special styles? It just doesn't work.
Some of it are my own frustrations from first or second hand experience. I'm just young enough that I was a teenager during the later years of the statistic (allthough I probably weighed against the trend except for the driving part). Yet I've had time to teach since I came of age, and talk to people.

Most of it though is just empathic (pathetic maybe?) outrage towards what I perceive-- no, feel is a steady devaluation of diversity in people, children in particular. Diversity of experience, of interest, of priorities and values. Diversity of stories.

The collective narrative we impose on children is that we're going to give them this great education, they're gonna have such great opportunities ('yuuge opportunities), and we're gonna make extra double sure that that it's the greatest education bestowed on any generation. We'll know it's the greatest education because we're going to test them relentlessly. And they will be grateful. They had better be grateful, and make something from this invaluable opportunity.

I'm exaggerating (and sprinkled a little Trump in there) to make it more obviously self-serving, because we are not helping them grow, were growing them. And we're weeding the meadow of anyone and anything that doesn't fit the mold. And I need to get off my soapbox, because I'm rambling.
Okay so first off, the educated people in this country don't care about this stuff. I stopped reading a few sentences in because it was clear the author had some vendetta against the company. People don't just attempt to crucify businesses for no reason. And just to be clear: most of America has no idea what's going on in SV. We're not all wearing google glass to order Uber delivered Big Macs despite what you might think.

Secondly, a lot of Americans are behaviorally conditioned by Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Roger Ailes. They elected our President, but they don't represent America (as I assume you don't support Mussolini's ideals because you're from Italy - also check out "The Brainwashing of my Dad" on Amazon Prime to understand the plight of many young Americans dealing with this insanity)

Some people live off emotional editorials. Not to be confrontational, but how worked up you seem to be upon reading this fluff piece in Italy makes me think you're not that far off from a middle-america pleb.

Our media system has been developed to evoke emotion because emotions sell... don't buy into it unless you want to be pissed off.

Also, what don't you like about the Olive Garden specifically? While I was in the process of becoming an engineer, I was a OG waiter trying to pay my college bills. Nobody is calling it Italian... It was developed as an American company. I really don't understand the argument. Americans should just eat wheat, corn and chicken? Sounds a lot like cultural appropriation which is the first sign of fascism.

My curries are not Indian, they're American. My Mole isn't Mexican, it's American. My paella isn't Spanish, my fried rice isn't Chinese, my panang curry isn't really Thai, and yeah, I make a grilled cheese macaroni that might blow your mind. Deal with it.

Food is the common denominator between cultures. It doesn't matter where you're from or who you were raised by, if you enjoy food: you love everyone, because we all have our secrets of deliciousness. Please don't try to make it a dividing factor.

To add insult to injury, people from your country came here, incorporated what they loved about your culture with ours and to you they're 'portrayed as "pizza, mafia, gobbledygook mamma mia".' I don't think this way, and I don't believe anyone I know in this country feels that way.

If you want to generalize, I will too which means as an Italian, you're a Mussolini supporting fascist. However, if you're willing to be an empathetic human being, I will too, and maybe you'll understand generalizations are one of the main sources of hatred that you should avoid.

The author here either has an agenda against someone at this company or an issue with gentrification (an issue all major American metropolises are dealing with). Don't assume some wacko's point of view defines America's situation because Silicon Valley was name dropped. Again: Nobody wears google glass in this country aside from the diluted.
So the benchmark for modern business ethics is a man who made his fortune off the back of slaves in the 1700s?
Have you tried the "toy AR" in new Apple devices running iOS 11? it's quite impressive how accurately it's able to track most environments. Sure, having a known marker makes that process a lot easier, so you can avoid the issue entirely even where ARKit has problems (a large featureless surface, for example)...

But even with the current limitations, it does feel like the next evolution of AR -- one you can just start using with no setup. Printing a marker is not something a casual person, just interested in checking out a new app, would do (assuming they have access to a printer, or a second device, in the first place). I think that it's a different ball game, and agree with OP that it's the main point of the new generation.

That's not to say anything negative about this project specifically -- it's awesome, and really cool to see something like this perform well on the web in general, and mobile web in particular.

foreach(@F) {

print "<td>$_</td>\n";
}

> Today, it's just Google. I've been using DDG for a few years, but about 1/3 of the time I add an !g because I don't find the results I need on DDG.

If DDG folks are reading this, here is an idea: Have a browser extension (so opt-in). If a user then does a !g search, forward the search terms and the search results to DDG and add them to your index. (I wouldn't go as far as Microsoft, who IIRC actually copied the results and the ranking for individual terms and added them to Bing.)

The thing is - the world is currently awash in liquidity. Some small-ish defaults are happening in the auto loan and student loan markets, but nothing on the scale of 2007-8 mortgage defaults. Unless there are just huge, shadow banking markets for derivatives on these debts that nobody has brought to light yet, and all the major banks are involved.

I'm not seeing how my generation (aside from the professional/engineering class) being locked out of the housing market in large urban areas triggers a recession though.

Larry Page (who isn't the CEO of Google btw) still owns all his stock, regardless of whether he's in the USA or the Bahamas.

Larry Page also uses his stock to pay himself.

These cryptocurrencies only have value as long as the market considers them valuable. If Alphabet's stock price dropped, Larry's net worth would decline proportionally.

And yes, they certainly took in money during the initial funding, but Larry and friends did the exact same thing when they pitched Google to early investors.

As a 12-year post-9/11 veteran with 7 years at a Tier 1 SOCOM unit and currently a successful BD guy at a Top 5 SV unicorn, your post is filled with misinformation, generalities, and is frankly offensive.

Make will check if your dependencies need to be rebuilt, and will only rebuild them if they have changed / been updated.

This is hugely valuable because you can save build times by not needlessly re-compiling the whole world. Linking times are always going to remain the same regardless, but you can definitely make the process more efficient. An example from C/C++ is not generating new object (*.o) files for source files that haven't changed (and who's dependencies haven't changed).

Make also has a pretty standardized syntax and has a bunch of open source implementations. This may not seem to matter since Python has many implementations (as an example), but remember that make is just a program, not a full platform. Python may execute differently depending on the version of Python, the version of any library you're using in the process, or even on the architecture (okay, maybe not in Python so much, but in some scripting languages it could matter). Make only depends on the version of make that you install.

Lastly, make comes with parallelism in your build mostly for free. Calling `make -j4 all` will run up to 4 rules at a time in parallel. In some cases this won't work because your dependencies are tangled in a mess and parallelism can't be guaranteed, but it's a lot easier to get parallel builds for most projects with make compared to something like Python, which either has to use something like the multiprocessing library, or pray that the GIL doesn't bite. In my opinion, this is not something you should be baking yourself into your build system. Make has done it and it has been done right for years.

Like many current conflicts these aren't black and white and the only truth is that people are dying.

This is a pretty ridiculous reading of events in Myanmar. Rakhine buddhists with the help of the military and police have been persecuting Rohingya since as far back as the end of WWII (the Rakhine and Rohingya fought on opposite sides). More recently since the junta took control in 1962 the Rohingya have been denied citizenship and harassed constantly by the junta. The Rohingya in the past 20 years have begun to push back and formed armed defense groups branded by the government as terrorists. Things came to a head in 2012 (after the 2011 transition to "democracy" began) when the government incited sectarian riots in Rakhine state. The government blamed the Rohingya and began driving them out of their villages in recent years to "fight terrorism". Some Rakhine buddhists have
used this as an opportunity to burn those villages and attack fleeing Rohingya.

Yes there are armed Rohingya groups, but they were trapped between an encroaching military and until this year a border with Bangladesh they couldn't cross. The government and Rakhine are absolutely, unquestionably committing genocide. Basically everyone in the world other than the Burmese government and you agrees with this designation.
