> Before we dive into the 2.3 release notes, let us introduce Teleport to the new readers of this blog.

I can't thank you enough for this.

It's so frustrating when you open up a post from HN and find no description of the product. Then you click on the company logo, end up on the homepage of the blog and then have to manually edit the URL to get to the companies actual frontpage. Which sometitimes still doesn't explain the product.
This is exact my situation. No more bookings on booking.com after a bad experience.
Good article, but did anyone notice the design itself? What a beautiful website. Dynamic while still easy to read.
Huh, so FedEx and Uber are aligned in labor policies, at least in a macro sense. Both achieve cost benefits, and the two face many of the same legal risks around job classification (and potential exploitation and tax evasion).

In theory, both are therefore one major legal decision away from a very bad set of financials. In practice, hoards of lawyers and lobbyists undoubtedly man the wall (and keep winter at bay).
Great news for all the other chip makers.
What do you mean? I've yet to deal with an NPE in either language. I mean, its possible, but you'd have to be trying pretty hard to get one IMO.
The sensor size doesn't change anything. A camera with a larger sensor would have the same image projected on the sensor but it would also capture more around it - basically, you could get the same image by cropping that part out of the larger image.

However, a larger sensor probably would have larger pixels, which would help with lighting and noise reduction.
I know it's anecdata, but in my experience UPS is way better about actually delivering packages to me than FedEx is. I live in a building with a call box, to which both FedEx and UPS were given their own codes, but most of the time FedEx "attempts" a delivery they mark it as undeliverable. It's gotten to the point where I'm now preemptively requesting my FedEx-shipped packages to be held at a local FedEx ship & print center rather than even waiting for the first attempted delivery. UPS, on the other hand, delivers packages without a hitch nearly every single time.

I don't know whether this has anything to do with the contractor vs employee nature of these companies, but I do know that UPS is way better at actually doing their job.
But they have Past Day/Week/Month options.
> I can send money to anyone I want to, I have no expectation of censorship or interference.

Except for donations to WikiLeaks. Or if you want to buy weed in one of the many states where it's legal. Or if the recipient's Paypal account has been frozen.

> The fees are low to zero depending on the exact method

Chase bank charged me $25 to send a wire transfer recently. Credit cards and Paypal charge me 3% to 5% when I sell something online.

> and I don't have to jump through hoops

When I sent that wire, I was required to answer slew of questions from a Chase representative including "What is this transaction for?" and "Do you plan to transact with this company again?"

> I have protections, insurance and various forms of reversibility

Perhaps as a buyer, but as a merchant, chargebacks are a nightmare.

> For most people, not really.

Huh. Most people I know detest banks and don't like the idea of handing over complete control of their money to someone else.

There just haven't been any alternatives until now.
> Apply it and we quickly see how censorship will be counter-productive - Those people, viewpoints and opinions don't go away and instead they concentrate in localized 'hot spots' (or cesspools), where they actually do far more intense and immediate damage.

This is an often-repeated theory, but I'm not sure it actually works that way. For example, consider the recent discussion about Reddit's "censorship" of hate subs:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15220305

When you openly engage some people, they decide that their idea is now "normal" and then demand the rest of the society to accommodate them. There's a reason why most scientists refrain from debating creationists.
Focus bracketing could easily solve that problem. In fact, Magic Lantern (the equivalent of CHDK for the larger Canon DSLRs) has a mode to do automated focus bracketing with the electronic focus controls.
I'm still very confused about urbit, but think it's quite interesting to follow. I found that this video explains it reasonably well. Watch it from 6:00

This snippet also helps:

> Making the web programmable

> The first thing your Urbit can do is act as a transparent layer to your existing services. We’d like urbit to be usable as a self-hosted IFTTT for geeks. Your urbit can hold your keys, store data, run programs and seamlessly connect to your existing services. Plus, with a global revision controlled filesystem it’s easy to share API connectors and keep them up to date.

> With an Urbit running on your machine you can ls your Gmail from Unix. Write a short script to poll Twitter on a keyword and deliver the results to your email or into a Slack channel. Send an SMS when an HTTP request doesn’t resolve. These are just a few examples. Your Urbit is designed to make data trapped in your existing services feel like an extension of your local programming environment.

First, they don’t have to build the chips, they just need a credible threat that they’ll do so. Second, the NVIDIA kit is very expensive relative to the price of the car. That’s margin you’re leaving on the table by limiting yourself to one supplier.
I'm laughing my ass off at the fact you have actually posted your little resumé in a comment. The guys that do stuff usually aren't the ones to float what they've done in order to be taken seriously, especially a "Tier 1" guy.

But, there are absolutely dudes no matter how high up who are not smart in how they handle their personal finances. Didn't Matt Bissonette (aka Mark Owens) write a novel about his time in DEVGRU and what took place on the UBL mission because he didn't have any money?
> Maybe change your strategy, and stay at a budget salaryman hotel and use their concierge?

You could just have your fancy concierge use the budget concierge.
Very interesting, but it'd be nice if they'd mention that many thousands of times more are killed each year by building windows, and pet cats, to put things in perspective for people.

I am not defending the quality of those ramps, but in some cases, a ramp can be useful so that an assisting people could move a person in a wheelchair up the stairs, even if the ramp is not usable for a person in a wheelchair alone with no assistance.
Except that the data isn't actually submitted. Look at the dev console network tab. Those are favicon images. smh
You're forgetting that every miner chooses how they mine. Someone with 51% hash power can decide to always mine on top of their previous block, ignoring what everyone else does. And because the 51% chain is longer, the 49% chain get discarded by any miner following default bitcoin rules. So the effective block rate gets slowed down, and the person with 51% of the power has control of 100% of the canonical blocks.
I echo this. I receive about 5-20 packages per day froma variety of vendors and origin countries and I can say that UPS is superior to Fedex in many subtle ways. This has been my experience across the spectrum of offerings: ground, rush air, and freight.
This seems to be a common misconception. TypeScript can be added gradually as well with strict settings disabled, and supports JavaScript with a config setting. With Babel now supporting TypeScript[1], none of these arguments prevail.

It doesn't explain why they don't talk about the older model, but what I wonder is why Google decided to a least double the price on all their hardware... are they trying to mimic Apple?
FYI,Samsung's tvs and watches are running Tizen instead of Android.
I too would use DDG as my default search engine if they added date range queries. I use that feature too often to not stick to Google right now.

French speaker here. He's essentially saying: "At 46 years of age, I want to run my business the same as before (with thanks to Michelin for the acclaim they have afforded us) but without the pressure of the three stars."

Totally get it, and totally agree. The meaning I take from the video: "Let us do our best without worrying about being judged every second of every day." Must be exhausting to be in that situation.

Bravo!
I know most of my UPS drivers by name, and always have great service. I’ve never had anything wrong from Fedex, but I’d pay a bit extra to use UPS, as they seem less hurried, friendlier and never don’t ring the bell (Fedex never does)
Kodak innovated just too late. They wanted to milk the profits from their film market as long as they could. That certainly wasn't a worker's decision.
I use booking.com occasionally because I can actually get to the information I need and want without difficulty.

The things described here are not exactly dark patterns - you can bypass them and get to the truth. (This is unlike TicketMaster.) Perhaps I would call them grey patterns.
Not on iOS although it has happened on the Macintosh twice.
If the developer is bankrupt, disbanded or deceased then the app generally can not remain published for longer than a year at most anyway.

If the developer does not have any interest in updating their own app, do I as a user care about their apps?
Where do you live?

I had the same experience with Blue Apron, but I also live in Manhattan, where it's about 20-30% cheaper for a single person to get takeout/delivery than it is to buy groceries and cook - and that's before accounting for the cost of time.

Comparing the prices in the suburbs, though, that's not the case. And as soon as you add a second person (or more) to the mix, of course, it becomes cheaper to cook.
We can continue a bit with the wikipedia:

"After Pérez initiated such liberal economic policies and made Venezuelan markets more free, Venezuela's GDP went from a -8.3% decline in 1989 to growing 4.4% in 1990 and 9.2% in 1991, though wages remained low and unemployment was high among Venezuelans.

Some state that "neoliberalism" was the cause of Venezuelan economic difficulties, though overreliance on oil prices and a fractured political system without parties agreeing on policies caused much of the problems."

Though after dismissing a lot of Chavists as conspiracy-theorists, I have seen some outrageous mistranslations and downright lies about Venezuela from the anti-Chavist side, taken uncritically by western media as factual, I am now very careful about sources there. There is a very active propaganda on both sides there.

In a country with the largest oil reserves in the world and an underdevelopped oil industry, I doubt that free market forces would naturally tend to diversify the economy. On the contrary it would lead to increased investments there. I would like to remind that under Chavez, his centrally planned economy was criticized for hindering the oil sector development.

The other ranking where Venezuela is high is corruption. That is the problem you want to solve first. High corruption, under free market or centrally planned economy, is not going to lead to good outcomes.

Forget the economic model, it is the justice and democratic model that is important.

"Anybody who travels back and forth across the Atlantic has to be impressed with the differences between European cities and ours, which make it appear as if World War Two actually took place in Detroit and Washington rather than Berlin and Rotterdam."

No way. There is no better or more tactful way to show how roundly incompetent the company is, and continues to be, than to put up a domain name that is confusingly similar to the already confusing, pointless, dangerous domain that they put up as a response to their breach... and then proceed to watch them as they tweet it out to half dozen or more of their customers, as if on cue.

There just isn't! It's perfect. Many people who are professional security types said on Day 1 that this would happen, and sagely advised that it might be unwise for anyone to put part of their SSN into a two-day old website on a previously unknown domain that looked like Baby's first PHP, just as news of the breach was still breaking.

And that it was similarly unwise to ask them to do so! So can we just unplug Equifax already? Please? It should be clear who the guilty party is here, and it starts with an Equifax.
Venezuela failed because of the lack of a free market. Almost all economic activity was by the government, there were price controls on everything. It turns out the market is much more efficient in managing resources than any one organisation.

IOW, in case it's not clear, Venezuela failed because of socialism. It's hilarious to see all these long winded explanations that refuse to name the well known philosophy that has repeatedly led countries to the same place. There is no analysis needed. It has been analysed a hundred times already in history.

Suppose I fell off from a hundred story building and died. Now imagine newspaper articles going into gravitational theory and saying that the cause of death was a high speed impact with the ground, which was worsened because it was concrete. That would be stupid. The well known fact is that I died because I fell from a high place. You don't need an analysis for that. It's obvious. Once a phenomenon has been explained and analysed well enough, it can just be named and you need not go into a lot of details and develop your own theory. You can just reuse the name and everybody understands.
The Michelin guide (and their readers) have fairly specific expectations for a starred restaurant. Many diners expect a Michelin-starred restaurant to provide flamboyant haute cuisine and are disappointed when they receive simple but excellent food. Restauranteurs can feel pressured to live up to the stereotype of a Michelin-starred restaurant, rather than cooking in their own style. Several restaurants have rejected their stars, primarily to escape this weight of expectation.

> Its difficult to write a big code base in two different styles, I prefer a language that is mainly in one style.

Not all problems are amenable to a single paradigm. Functional idioms are well suited to composing small systems, object-like abstraction is well suited to composing large systems and services. Note, object-like, not necessarily object-oriented in the Java sense.
There's a fundamental problem - the medical industry has made all kinds of decisions based on the assumption of high cost - doctors take on $300,000+ student debt, hospitals have built huge new facilities, and pharma has poured billions into R&D on the assumption of high cost. Rolling it back now will be difficult and will surely screw over some group of people, whether it's the elderly, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, or hospital owners (which, due to 401(k)s, is you and me).

Deep Reinforcement Learning That Matters
What was the point of that be? The apps aren’t going to be updated if they haven’t in the last four years. Keeping all that stuff around is also support burden for Apple.

If they only supported it on the 7 and below then it might be confusing to users why some people get to use older apps and others don’t. On the other hand if they wanted to support it on the 8 and X then they would have to have an entire processor emulator that would only exist to support apps that hadn’t been updated in years.

Don’t forget that Apple keeps tons of usage statistics from people who are willing to give them. Chances are they know pretty exactly what percent of people use 32 bit apps with any regularity and how much total time to use them for. If they were willing to make these decisions my guess is those numbers are very low.

People here on HN are concerned about it and there have been some articles on websites about it but I’m willing to bet that this whole thing is almost a non-issue.
They’ve done it before - released an update for an older OS after the newer one was introduced - but never for a device that was capable of running the newer OS.
Thanks for sharing it @mychaelangelo
I am. My wife is vegan but I'm not. I'm happy to eat something that tastes like what I'm used to and doesn't kill a cow. I'm not a foodie. For the most part, I eat out of necessity and not some sense of pleasure. I dislike most foods and I'm impossible to cook for because of it. I like the taste of a burger. I've cooked a Beyond burger. Tasted good enough. As long as the costs aren't crazy, that's what I'll eat.
Some airline ticket booking sites still track you and increase the ticket price on return visits, optimised to certain intervals. Many in the industry call it "dynamic pricing."

It made the news a few years back[1] but you can still see it sometimes in a few different industries. You can get into arguments with people about whether marketing as a whole is an enterprise built on manipulation, but this is quite clearly manipulative.

Weight gain is kind of part of the disability if you have a mobility problem, or, you know, actual paralysis. This is a ridiculous transfer of responsibility from those who design and maintain the environment, to those who experience disabilities caused by the failures of that environment's design and maintenance. I want to be polite but also clearly express how angry this idea makes me. Also I disagree on how much the physics of a power chair would be affected by this. Yes, maybe it would be marginally easier if heavier wheelchair users were less heavy... In fact, it would be even better if they could walk. That's about as practical an idea.

We cannot control the person's physical size or abilities. We can broaden the range of humans for whom we design things by doing better work. That's all we can do. That's what we should do.
My daughters have been going to Montessori school. I wish I had had that kind of education.

I generally describe modern schools as the assembly-line for obedient workers who shall live in factories -- hence a need for "unschooling".

Would you mind elaborating on the problem you have with CVT cars?
Well, it's not on the list currently, so either they never had it or they did indeed remove it.
Do you have a source for that?

I've seen in the trunk of working research cars with less resources than a high-end gaming PC.

Multiple KW is more than normal car air conditioning can deal with, since a resting human outputs about 100W. Do these cars vent to the outside? Otherwise, if outputting multiple KW, your Calfornia-based research car is gonna get nasty very quickly.
I thought they kept doing security updates for 32 bit macs for a little while?
Top Disruptive Companies Using Big Data
I really don’t understand why people keep those two off. If you’re not using them they use very little battery at this point; it’s not like it was 10 years ago.

Since Apple keeps detailed usage statistics (from the people who opt in) my guess is they know how common such a behavior is and it’s obviously low enough they don’t think this change is a problem.

I agree with some of the other comments I’ve seen that this probably accomplishes what the user is trying to do (ignoring a Wi-Fi network that’s temporarily behaving poorly) and possibly protecting them (forgetting to turn it back on it running up a huge cell bill). I know I’ve heard complaints from people who accidentally did that a number of times.
This is actually fantastic, I am really happy about this.

Two main reasons
(1) If you disable Wi-Fi its re-enabled when you goto a new location. Very often I disable wifi to temporarily get off a bad network in an area, and then curse when I get home and stream a 1GB video over 3G

(2) Much more user friendly for initiated actions

(3) You can still fully disable it by going into settings, but the quick-off is more like you expect.

Great work, Apple.
Indeed. 15 years ago it was a huge amount of work reverse-engineering other browsers around parser behaviour; 10 years ago it was a huge amount of work finding where the draft spec broke sites; today it's pretty much just implementing the spec.
I would take it a step further... Why should it be hard for money to make a mark? Why should the voice of someone who sacrifices little or who has no or next to no "skin in the game" be considered equivalent to the voice of someone who is willing to sacrifice real, tangible resources?

In modern corporations, there is a distinction between those who have stake in the future of the firm (shareholders), those who are trusted to act on their behalf (board, executives, and employees to a lesser extent), and those who receive services from the firm in exchange for revenues (clients and customers).

Customers do not make managerial and strategic decisions for the firm, and for good reasons. Indeed, does anyone really care exactly who is running walmart or amazon or apple so long as their products and services provide value? Why do people tend to see governments, essentially massive corporations, as inhabiting such a different realm, expecting them to follow entirely different laws of human behavior?
Haven't you heard? Monads are old-school, algebraic effects are the future! ;-)
What legacy apps worth keeping “documents” for - I’m assuming non game apps — would be worth supporting? The chances are even if they did provide support for 32 bit abandoned apps, they would break sooner or later with a future OS upgrade.

Besides are you planning on keeping the same IOS device forever? The newest processors are 64 bit only. I doubt that Apple will ever release a new device that will support 32 bit devices - except for maybe a new iPod Touch or iPhone SE.
Cheating is unethical. Choosing to not aggressively grade because the costs (time away from your PhD work) exceeds the benefits is not. I put in what was expected I just didn’t put in more. My moral obligation was to my PhD work, not some grading crusade. No crosses to bear here.
Can anyone comment on how Waymo might come up with such a figure? Especially in the context of something that hasn't materialized yet (no revenue)? I assume this is towards the high-end of what they expect to get. Also, why would Uber want to push for making this figure public? Seems like it would be against their interests at this point.
