My hope is that at some point the auto sync is smart enough so we don't need any refresh button.

For example: Instagram does auto sync of new posts, but it also has a refresh functionality. So I never know if it is up to date and I must refresh. When you know about a manual refresh functionality the auto update is totally useles. You're never sure if the app tries to stay up to date or does only occasionally sync to show some (not the latest) updates.

Another example is google mail, it does auto sync pretty well and I always see the mails when they arrive. But the refresh buttons makes me suspicious if it's really up to date (in my experience it always is).
I'm not saying you are wrong but I'm saying that an evaluation of someones sanity is the same whether they are stepping in through the door of a locked facility, or stepping out. It's not harder to do after than before - it's just more important to get right. You can call that "harder" but the evaluation is basically the same.

> showing insanity is different from showing sanity. There are true-positives, true-negatives, false-positives, and false-negatives.

Right. And a false positive might send someone to this facility instead of prison while a true negative might let someone out while dangerous.
And until this is rectified, no-one should take their words on face value. It has to be verifiable, otherwise it's just words.
Like I mentioned in my reply to the child comment there are also many deductions apart from the standard deduction. There's no way someone with a $100k salary is paying > 30% effective tax rate even after taking into account state tax and FICA if they take advantage of any of the deductions (like 401k, IRA, FSA, commuter benefits, mortgage interest) available to them.
Apple still needs data to build these locally running models. They advertise differential privacy as a solution for that but researchers aren't impressed (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.02753.pdf).

Meanwhile on Android you can opt for a different photo gallery app, giving Google _nothing_ to work with, while on iOS you're stuck with whatever Apple allows you to use.
Facebook et al know mostly about how you externalise your identity towards other people. The data they store would be well structured, but would also be limited, mostly to what you would tell your closest friends.

Whereas if someone collated together all of the web searches you have performed, they would know more about your most intimate and private thoughts than any other company could. Google knows the real, embarrassing, naked you.
I haven't asked them to approve of my lifestyle, just not actively erase it or demand I pander to their desire to ignore it.

If you don't care how I feel, I'm willing to extend symmetrical courtesy. However, basic affordances accepting other people's differences seem like an excellent comprimise, and has worked quite well historically.

But here you are, acting like it's an undue burden and I should be ashamed. Why is that?

I'd also recommend Fundamentals of Matrix Computations by Watkins for a great introduction. It helped immensely when I had to teach myself matrix algorithms as part of my undergraduate research.

Languages most certainly helps us hone the way we perceive the world. But on the other hand, it's common for me to have concepts in my mind that seem crystal clear, and yet very difficult to capture in words. Sometimes to the point where it feels like once I manage to start describing it, the concept becomes permanently watered down. Some easy examples are the perceptual effect of looking at my infant daughter, or the experience of hearing certain pieces of music. But often, it's much more mundane. See also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ineffability.

In that sense, language gives us a way to approximate concepts that we already have, to varying extents. But it's extremely useful, because we can then manipulate those approximations to generate novel concepts. I don't believe anybody would suggest that that's not the case. But strong Sapir-Whorf would suggest that this is how all thought originates.

On another anecdotal note, I used to consider my internal monologue to be me, full-stop, and I have always thought of it as being a stream of words. But I've come to realize that it's not actually real words. Furthermore, at best, its the version of me when I'm under zero stress. However, if I'm upset or threatened, it's clear that "linguistic me" only has illusory control of my behavior, or even my thoughts. In fact, I have realized I often behave first, and then come up with the narrative to understand my own behavior.

I posit that this is universal. I think we shape our thoughts to conform to much more primeval motivations, which are surprisingly complex in nature. The entire media industry exists to try to give us linguistic narratives to explain and shape these urges. And I say "shape" because it's not a one way process. I think we train our own behaviors with our thoughts, and when unstressed, we can even exercise linguistic self-control.

I'll give you that without intervention the rentiers can get richer. However that can be countered by progressive taxation and similar and has been successfully including in the US up till the 60s or so. You can mostly fix it without going all Marxist and Marxism as such doesn't have a good record at fixing things. See The Black Book of Communism, Venezuela and the like.

As an aside there are things that bug me about Marx and his style of reasoning. Both the hundreds of pages so its hard to say you're for or against. Also nearly all his statments are slightly off eg. "The slave is sold once and for all; the proletarian must sell himself daily and hourly." By his definition is you don't have rental income you are "proletarian" and so selling yourself hourly or daily. Which doesn't seem quite right - ok you may get a job but it's not quite like that. It slightly amazes and saddens me that people took this stuff seriously and it went on to cause so many deaths and do this day messes with clear thinking analyses of poverty and the like.
Keep in mind that this is a subset of the C++ library.

The static analysis tools for C++ are much more mature than for Python, and good static analysis tools are necessary if you want to perform a refactor across the entire monorepo[1] and encourage thousands of other engineers to start coding in your new paradigm[2].

I work with data scientists and it’s scary how much they have access to.

One first hand story: this person searched a database to find tax records for a specific individual and their income. The records were de-anonymized but there’s enough data there he could figure it out.

We should design systems to preserve individual privacy. The person I heard the story from had no business in this persons tax records.

Somewhat unrelated but it's funny how we talk about human recognition rates being below 100%. Obviously, a human somewhere had to decide what all the correct answers were. I understand that it has a specific meaning in the context of machine learning though.
Don't Apple have let open phone for FBI?

The last time a high profile case about this came up, Apple refused and the FBI declined to push their case in court. So as it stands, no Apple doesn't have to let the FBI do anything. Furthermore Apple also claims that they made changes to their software since that case so they no longer could unlock the phone for the FBI even if they really wanted to.

If you're confident enough of your auto-sync, you can always keep the manual refresh and just have it no-op. Eventually users realize that clicking refresh never actually brings in new content, and the content they expect is always there. Or maybe they don't, and think refresh is always super fast (you can't make it too fast). If you do this you'd better be certain your sync works though.

Right. Which is why that decision is done with lower stakes.
But

> You are admitting facts not in evidence, when you assume that the doctors were capable and trustworthy when determining the insanity.

All I'm saying is that regardless of how accurate and trustworthy they are, if we trust them do do A we better trust them when doing B, even if the stakes and risk of mistakes are higher.

I can't see any other solution, do you? The only theoretically possible solution would be to lock people up for life if found insane - but I don't think that's a viable approach.

Libel, not slander. Slander is spoken, libel is written or otherwise published. I'm not a lawyer, but probably. Since you'd have to prove that the bank made false statements of fact to get the credit agency to remove the fraudulent debt from your record anyway you'd necessarily have gathered plenty of evidence to help your case.
I'm more and more wondering if the real reason isn't that business people have issues with technical terminology. In this case: A prototype is something you throw away before you build the real thing. Yet somehow many non-technical people think its meaning lies more along the lines of "beta".

Show HN: Web interface for OmniFocus tasks
Hi! Creator of webfocus.io here. I've noticed a lot of people were asking for it and decided to build it myself.

Early users seem to like it a lot - it helps if you're a Mac/iOS user, but have to use Windows at work or university.

Of course, it's not perfect. It won't have all the features of OmniFocus - but it's steadily improving. I plan to add notes next, as it's the biggest missing thing for tasks right now.

Hope you like it, let me know what you think

This is probably common knowledge: If I browse an item on say, backcountry.com, I'll find ads immediately for that same item on facebook. I leave reviews, sometimes negative ones for items I've already bought on backcountry, so it's kind of strange to then try to get sold the item, again.

Fully agree with your point of view.

For a while WP devices actually had more market share than iPhone on some European countries, because they were the only affordable alternative to Android.

With all these missteps they managed to drive both the consumers that enjoyed WP, and Windows developers that had fun coding apps for it.

I have this gut feeling that since Windows 10 tablets and hybrids are actually more successful than Android based ones, they would like to try a "mini-tablet" that can make phone calls.

But they burned us so many times, that most likely it will be UWP apps that happen to run on such "mini-tablet" by accident, than being made explicitly for it.

so, goto is efficient at escaping inefficiently structured code? That doesn't make it really efficient. I mean there's a reasonable rule of thumb: don't indent the code too deep. Because what you are talking about is one kind of spaghetti, the kind cut into digestable chunks. The interleaving of active and inactive blocks leads to unreadable code sooner or later.
