> if the sensor has sufficiently high resolution, the software can crop the sensor up an extend to largely simulate telephoto

The software will in this case be inventing an image, not capturing one. Don't get me wrong - I'm delighted with the improvement in quality that pocket cameras, embodied in smartphones, have achieved in a mere decade. But physics is still physics, and a 6x5mm sensor can only capture so much light.

Notifications at the top-right, covering the top-right of whichever window is active. Fortunately most of them can be dismissed, but those concerning updates cannot, which is extremely annoying. I've once already accidentally triggered a 15 minute update, which can be extremely inconvenient when it happens at the wrong time.

I've found a way to get rid of the update notifications, though: click "details", which opens the app store with a list of your pending updates. As long as you leave that open, the notification won't reappear.

Still annoying, though.

Gender Diversity in Tech: Start Before You're Ready
14 things ridiculously successful people do every day
This is true, but I think there's an important distinction.

Driving a truck is generally legal. Stealing somebody's life savings generally isn't.

This matters because once an underqualified truck driver is on the road, they're going to be hard to distinguish from a normal truck driver. You have to issue a lot of licenses before the pattern of fake licenses becomes obvious enough to trigger an investigation.

Granting fake licenses for serious theft, though, is another matter. Every single one of those will trigger a police investigation. It's much higher risk, meaning it'd be very hard to sustain an ongoing business in fake licenses for theft.

Is there a way to use that to address the "NeverCalled" example?

I feel like there's a huge disconnect here. Even after the strange behavior is explained, some people say "wow, I never ever want that behavior, how do I reliably avoid it?" but others respond "there's no problem, you're just using it wrong".

Is there really no way to satisfy both sides?

From the OP:

> Both cases were charged as sexual assaults and are at court next week for hearing... While Uber did not say they would contact the police the victim believed that they would inform the police on her behalf.

The fact that the victim thought Uber would contact the police, and that the prosecutor has decided there's a case to hear, suggests that this was more than "a hug". We don't have all the information here, but I'm quite uneasy with this downplaying of a potential sexual assault (one that is currently being heard in court).

> Uber hold a position not to report crime on the basis that it may breach the rights of the passenger. When asked what the position would be in the hypothetical case of a driver who commits a serious sexual assault against a passenger they confirmed that they would dismiss the driver and report to TfL, but not inform the police.

Regardless of whether the individual case doesn't sound bad in Uber's telling, their stated position on a hypothetical serious sexual assault is very concerning. Either way it shows either disregard or ignorance for the regulatory environment under which they operate. (It sounds to me like ignorance, since they did report the driver to TfL, and neglected to inform the police as required).
Ask HN: Does the world need another note-keeping app?
i am personally not satisfied with any of the options out there for note keeping. theres plenty of stuff like Evernote and Onenote for writing stuff but I find their one-level-folder organization structure to be hard to navigate and digging up information down the road cumbersome.

i really desire an application that allows me to store all the bits of information i come across and want to save and access later. something more akin to a bookmarking service, but for notes and with search and multi-level-tree folder organizing. despite this being an issue as old as the internet itself and countless attempts to solve the problem, i really don't see or have heard of a solution that does what i want simply and awesomely. this would also be a web-only app so that notes are available immediately between devices and no waiting for syncing.

i want to build this and i want to know if anyone feels the same and if so, would you be willing to pay for a solution?
I don't disagree. I feel like I'm caught in the middle. I personally prefer the old internet where websites could have simple design and typography and still be perceived to have value.
I agree. The faux-button is a pretty inexcusable piece of interaction design. It's like underlining for emphasis on the web. Don't do it.

It's very interesting to compare some extracts taken from a similar thread that apparead some time ago about Uber being temporarly banned in Italy to the tone in the comments here:

"Innovation almost always sidestep regulations, by definition", "Italy is not a place for innovation", "few corrupt lobbies that are against innovation and competition" , "US consistently outperforms the EU in GDP growth and innovation", "Forcing innovators to "respect the law" squarely is basically killing innovation".

I don't see anybody blaming the UK for being anti-innovation here. Why?
> I agree very much that they both take place in highly patriarchal societies.

Then why are we arguing?

> what your issue is with people choosing monogamy

I have no such issue? You are putting words in my mouth. Perhaps this is why we are arguing.

All I take issue with is the GP's assertion that polygamy is the cause of the "lost boys" problem. I claim it's not, patriarchy promulgated by high-status males is. Remove polygamy and all you've done is democratize power among males, without addressing the problem of patriarchy. Remove patriarchy and polygamy is no longer problematic.

> it's no longer the case that a woman can't support herself adequately.

Western society has made strides in that direction, yes. And beside the decrease in social ostracism of single females, it is argued that the rise of feminism has driven the rise in consensual polyamory [1], supporting my above point.

This article names no sources, only purported emails. It doesn’t show the full text of the emails, just short quotes. It doesn’t provide message headers [1] or any other substantive indication that they are factual. How were these vetted? I’m going to guess that they weren’t.

This article has all of the weight of a gossip column.

[1] Headers can be forged, of course, but it’s at least enough that an external party might be able to corroborate or disprove this story.
That's the same sort of thing that comes with computer games that have implemented the Risk model, ones such as the Total War series and the Paradox games like Europa Universalis.

I regretted upgrading to Sierra because I lost my favorite functionality of Karabiner. But I got most of the features back when I started using Hammerspoon. It's not GUI friendly, but it's doable and there's a lot of scripts available. It's similar to Window's Autohotkey which I use at work, but Hammerspoon has a sane, real language (Lua).

My other suggestion is to actually replace keyboard. ErgoDox EZ and Ultimate Hacking Keyboard have almost all the features I need from Karabiner, but is saved to the firmware, so I can take the keyboard anywhere and it just works. Also, they're mechanical keyboard, so it's nice to type on.

>Earlier, the Mayor of London said Uber had put "unfair pressure" on TfL, with an "army" of PR experts and lawyers.

>Mr Khan, who is also chairman of TfL, told the BBC: "What you can't do is have a situation where unfair pressure is brought on a quasi-judicial body, where there are officials working incredibly hard.

>"I appreciate Uber has an army of PR experts, I appreciate Uber has an army of lawyers - they've also made aggressive threats about taking us to court."

>More than 750,000 people have signed an online petition in a bid to keep Uber operating in London after its licence expires on 30 September.

I'm glad TfL stood their ground. I got several emails asking me to sign the petition myself, and I'm guessing Uber deployed multiple other tactics to gather public support, or at least make it seem like they have it. I want Uber to continue operating in London but I haven't signed the petition.

Ah yes fair point, my personal bias is showing a bit. I would consider numerics (AVX512 or AVX2) to be the main interest, and it is often what the type of workstations I'm familiar with need. It also tends to consume the most power when run at full load by a significant margin.

the 80-100% is bit of a vague number, I was just kinda referring to the cpu utilization as reported by the OS. For numerics I would consider a realistic full load 75%+ pipeline fill time on the AVX codepaths. With a lot of compute you can get quite close to 100% quite quickly if your software is highly optimized (and uses enough compute to hide the memory loads). TDP should just be 100% pipelined load of the highest consuming codepath.

But my general point is still that these benchmarks should not exceed the TDP for these types of parts. For everyday use these loads might not be realistic. But for a lot of people looking to spend $2000(!) on a single CPU, these benchmarks are indicative of real life usage.

A top performing smart phone "camera" is really just the algorithm that creates a psychologically appealing composition.

Note that AI is not being used to (simply) mimic a better sensor and lens, there is all sorts of stuff going on in the algorithms that a photographer would do in photoshop or in the dark room.

The problem is, there is a specific aesthetic being targeted, and this removes some of the artistry from photography.

I think there is a fundamental difference between a) the camera capturing multiple depths of field, focal points, etc., and then allowing the user to make the final decision in post production and b) the camera computationally simulating lens effects and lighting effects in the way that snapchat filters widen eyes and add animal ears.

Cameras are supposed to capture reality, not create a postcard-like view of whatever was in range or generate a flattering selfie.

These reviews should not be called camera reviews, they should be called "image algorithm reviews".

John C Wright

Wrote the Golden Ocumene trilogy which explores a post-post-singularity society where not only is immortality taken for granted, post-humans can swap between species and lifestyles, IRL or virtually, pretty much at will. Essentially the book itself explores the will to push boundaries in a world where everything conceivable is plentiful and readily available, and as a result, most of humanity and culture has grown stagnant, because how can you get better than perfect?
Out of curiosity, what is your usage scenario? In the place I work I use it for workstations (ca. 400 workstations and 10 servers), but I rarely use it for servers - neither for my employer nor for my customers. Somehow these servers are quite different from each other in terms of both hardware and software so I never quite understood the advantage in this case.
The main near- to midterm issue for Canon/Nikon (and, to a lesser degree, the various mirrorless interchangeable lens makers like Fujifilm) IMO is that a fair number of people buy DSLRs who don't really need them. They buy a low to midrange model with a kit lens, set the camera to Auto, and never take the lens off. And only post the pics to Facebook.

Increasingly, there's no reason for that type of user to buy a DSLR. A good phone will handle 90% of their uses for a lot less (incremental) money and effort.

But I agree that there's still a huge gap between people really using their DSLRs as DSLRs and smartphones. And, as for cameraphone accessories, the fact that you can stick awkward add-ons onto a phone to make it a better camera, doesn't mean that you should or that it's something most people want to do.
