They needed to boost the Apple Watch adoption when it was released. To do that, they wanted many apps on there, including popular ones like Uber (and Uber is actually a good use case). Unfortunately, WatchOS couldn’t render maps back then. The marketing department was probably at their ass to get it working, so the engineering team had to come up with something so Uber would be on the Apple Watch: they allowed them to use private APIs.

A very bad move but I can understand the motive
Not for cooking but for streaming tv while washing dishes. ;-)

The problem in my opinion with recipes is that there are too much and most of them are not good. A lot of times I started to cook anything by recipe just to throw it away after some minutes and "freestyling" the meal...
I'm not 100% sure. But the drivers are usually operating white panel vans with an Amazon logo (iirc...). The drivers wear high-viz vests and when they call you, it is a Washington area code (which suggests to me they are using an Amazon system).

My understanding was that Amazon has been working towards their own courier service for a while.
Excellent read, thanks for highlighting it. It provided quite an interesting backdrop for a good part of Western European art of the early 19th century.
Hello everyone,

Just wanted to share our Forklift VR Training simulator we are developing for some European training companies.

While learning to drive a forklift in VR is not enough to be able to operate it professionally in "real life" it can saves the first few hours of training and eliminate risks.

That's why as a user I tend to consider the license of software I use and sometimes even the legal status of the entity behind it.

By no means my statement implies that software developed under a free software license by a nonprofit organisation will for ever keep being fit for my use case scenarios but I do believe that changes that constitute planned obsolescence wouldn't be the case.

Of course such a model has limitations, you can't go on funding rounds but still it's an interesting model.

> For example, I read somewhere it gets less than 100 asylum seekers a year.

I'll clarify that image by tell you they roughly get 9000 asylum requests a year according to the Japanese Government themselves [1]. They are however extremely reluctant in accepting any of the requests, which is what I assume you were speaking about.

To some I can imagine that's quite a shock and horror, for some, it's a dream.

"Japan accepted just three refugees in the first half of 2017 despite receiving a record 8,561 fresh asylum applications, the government said on Tuesday"

"Only four refugees were accepted in the first half of 2016, when fresh asylum applications totaled 5,011, the Justice Ministry said."

Out of all the monitors that I have used, I still don't get why people use Genelecs apart from the build quality.

There are ATC, PMC, Amphion, BareFoot, Unity Audio, and many others that all sounds more revealing and better.
Interesting that this is being framed as an Uber transgression when Apple should take the rap for even creating this permission in the first place.
I mean, I think this is what the default iPhone X website display algorithm does, more or less, as I understand it. It colors the "notch margin" with whatever is directly next to it.

Frankly, a screen that isn't rectangluar is awfully weird to me. I wonder if we'll a) all get over it or b) make the sensors smaller to get the rectangular screen back or c) move on to virtualized screens projected from small wearables and forget this whole thing even happened.
Take rational decisions like a Pro
It's funny: when I read monitors I thought about display monitors.

And the same applies there: you can buy monitors that can be calibrated but surrounding light makes each monitor and each setup different.

So graphic designers do the same: they know the display monitor in the room. And each end user will see the designed colors a little different, but it doesn't matter.
Thanks for that I'll consider it.

Everybody is bashing plugins but vim without:

- YCM
- airline (I use inconsolata patched to have nice icons)
- fugitive
- Nerdtree
- CtrlP
- Utilsnips (I have some customs here too)
- Syntastic (saved multiple times)

And other plugins (ruby, go, latex, gist) would drop my productivity considerably.
I agree it's not a huge security vulnerability, just bad design by Apple.

There are also a few other reasons for disabling wifi - battery life, tracking, debugging connections, and of course security as well (not in response to specific vulnerabilities, but on the principle of less attack surface being safer).
70% of studios I have been in haven't had Genelec (europe).

Though they seem to be big in broadcast studios and post-production places or those where people haven't auditioned a large number of monitors.
Who in their right mind moves out to SV anymore for less than a quarter million in compensation?

If you have a family, your costs are astronomical. Mortgage, daycare, multiple cars, school-related fees.

If you're single, you're dealing both with the gender-imbalanced dating market (the imbalance hurting both men and women), as well as the difficulty of saving for a SV mortgage. If you plan ahead of time, coming into SV, that you're going to leave SV eventually because of the high cost of living, then that future move is going to come at the cost of most of the professional and personal networking that you built up and will have to say goodbye to, and build all over again after you move.

Sure, SV is the mecca for professional networking and VC funding, but a) you don't need to be in SV to be successful (counter-examples abound) and b) is it really worth it?

The death of cheap eats in the Bay Area is just a symptom. You're either making enough money not to care, or you're wondering anyway whether it's worth it to live there.

> Delivery firms are all awful.

Agreed, though I usually find the "real" postal service to be significantly less awful than the various parcel services. They are more able/willing to put packages into my mailbox, and if they do mess up the delivery, the post office is usually closer than a parcel service depot out in a remote corner of a remote suburb.

In fact, one of the reasons I prefer ordering from Amazon directly as opposed to most other online shops, or third-party shops selling through Amazon, is that I know that Amazon will send my stuff using the standard postal service. (Or at least, it used to be that way.)

You mileage will vary according to your country's postal service, of course.
I was to be firm but fair. Of course, I had the firearms. I was a transportation officer/chaser for a military detention facility.

Encrypted APFS Volumes from Disk Utility in High Sierra Use Password as Hint
It is used as the "username" for all those things, not as the "password". That's the major difference.

To login to secure services like all government services, our banks, our digital post box etc we mostly use BankID.

With BankID you enter your SSN, your personal password and a code from your 2FA key fob/phone app.

Then turn it off (Settings, General, Accessibility)

Although lacking discoverability, I personally find it very quick, useful and natural in a couple of use cases: acting on notifications, keyboard cursor movement and selection, (sadly defunct) app switching, on Apple Music track listings.
I know, it would slow down the whole thing by a factor of 3.

Monocypher can "only" produce 7000 signatures per seconds on a single thread on my laptop (i5 Skylake Intel). With the verification, I would waste a whooping 0.3ms on each signature, reducing the throughput to 2000 signatures per seconds.

Unless you're running a signing intensive application on the scale of Let's Encrypt, you won't really care about the slow-down. If you don't fully trust your hardware however, faults might be a real problem.
For users with flakey wifi, there is wifi-assist, where the phone uses cellular data along with wifi.

There's an abundance of good vim tutorials, but as a moderate user, it would be much more useful if there was a plugin that reminded me how to do things more efficiently. I know how powerful vim is, but forget the shortcuts or how to use them.

For example, when I navigate words using H-L, remind me to use W-E-B instead. When I navigate many lines with J-K, remind me to use number shortcuts or G/gg. You get the point.

No decent editor or IDE supports "proper" elastic tabstops, except for a Visual Studio plugin, I believe.

The problem is that it needs the underlying text editor to support different non-uniform tab stops to be configured for every line of code. Few if any text editors support it.

Any equivalent book for cats? :)

Looking on Amazon, a book, "The Domestic Cat: The Biology of its Behaviour" looks to be it, anyone read both books?

Incidentally, the pricing for the dog book is a bit odd, with the Kindle edition costing about 2% more than the paperback (also sold and supplied by Amazon). Not what I would have expected, given the lower distribution costs.
Hmm... I suppose that does explain the motive, though I'm not sure about the logic.

On the other hand, I have the luxury of Monday quarterbacking and the knowledge of what has gone on between now and then.

I am curious as to who else might have gotten that entitlement and we just don't know it yet. Apple, being more privacy aware (or at least PR aware), probably has not handed it out to bunches of people and governments. Probably...
This is so true:

HN attitude is about getting the big payout, Slashdot was much more "fuck the man".

Cafe Zitouna on Sutter and Polk falls into this category. It's a family owned Tunisian/Moroccan restaurant. It's inexpensive and the food is top notch. It's been in the neighborhood forever. Go check it out and order a Breakfast Falafel Wrap, before it turns into a condo building.

Spying frameworks wouldn't be responsible for taking so much space, usually the largest files in mobile apps are the assets (sounds, videos, images, etc.) and not code, code is actually quite minimal.

So yup, your assumption is probably very wrong. And I'm not an Uber user (exactly for privacy and ethical reasons).
Amazon Logistics has been running for quite a while in Germany, and for me it's looks like it's a disaster. Every order is like a lottery. If your package gets assigned to DHL, you're almost guaranteed to get it on time. If you get Amazon Logistics, you should be happy if it shows up at all.

I'd add https://github.com/ciaranm/detectindent and https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic to the list, but esp. Syntastic may already be to fat for some people's taste.

Technically, the "explicit command" requirement is fulfilled because you explicitly installed the plugin.

It’s more about understanding how the monitors room translate to different systems and being able to mix to that. Headphones mostly eliminate the room factor. Many recording artists use Beyerdynamic DT770s, Senn HD280s, or ATH-M40x . None are particularly expensive as headphones go.

For monitors, lots of Genelec, Tannoy, Mackie, JBL, and Adam stuff is out there. Focal Twin6 BEs are particularly nice. None are really cheap (they’re all >$500 / one) and go up from there. Meyer HD-1s are apparently amazing, but they’re ~$9k for a pair. Their newer, cheaper Amie is $3500 each. Their new flagship Bluehorn stuff is $xx,xxx per channel. Lots of home studios use KRK Rokits because they’re cheap ($150/channel on up).

I think their comment meant that you'd be choosing not just for you, but you would also be making that choice for the employees that had to deliver your stuff. The employees would still need to cover a diverse area and thus they'd need nearly the same number of employees to cover after-hours delivery.

Though, maybe there is some sort of potential market there. Get your stuff shipped to a drop location and they will deliver it to you at your convenience.
Mildly offtopic:

Why does everything perfectly ordinary and expected in any other city have to become "Great" in an American city?

Across the world, restaurants, from the very basic to the very high end, arise around every agglomeration of people but here Bloomberg headlines these SFOs restaurants "Great". What makes them "great" that a decades old Irani restaurant in Mumbai cannot hope to match?

I can think of only one other place where "great" gets applied to very very ordinary things - Great Asian Cities when referring to Asian mega cities like Mumbai or Manila.

It's not a minority use case. It's just a use case that is poorly accommodated by a large majority of smartphones. This leads to much higher data usage and higher revenue for carriers than would be the case if smartphones were a little more on the user's side.

I have a smartphone that offers reasonable controls on cellular data use on a per-app basis, in addition to easy system-wide toggles for WiFi and cellular data. It's easy for me to keep cellular data off most of the time, as I'm usually within WiFi range or taking short trips (eg. grocery shopping) where there's no inconvenience to being offline for a while. As a result, I get great battery life out of my phone and don't need a multi-GB data plan unless I'm traveling for most of the month. The TCO for my smartphone is a small fraction of what's typical with an iPhone on a major carrier, but I have full access to the capabilities of my smartphone and its LTE connection, when I decide to use them.

I started reading slashdot around 2000-2001, being about 14 years old at the time. I would venture to say that slashdot and its community has been as educational (or even more) as school, and played a large part in my deciding to work in IT.

Since I never signed up for an account there (I was a kid and knew I had nothing to bring to the table), I never experienced the friend/foe system or participated in moderation. Still, the site has had an amazing impact on my life and given me an insight into topics I never would have learned about otherwise. Nowadays it feels HN has taken over, but I still feel a need to express my gratitude for both the site and the community.

To be honest, that's very much what the UN charter says:

> 5 All Members shall give the United Nations every assistance in any action it takes in accordance with the present Charter, and shall refrain from giving assistance to any state against which the United Nations is taking preventive or enforcement action.

> 6 The Organization shall ensure that states which are not Members of the United Nations act in accordance with these Principles so far as may be necessary for the maintenance of international peace and security.

In other words, whether you like it or not, you have to adhere to our rules and if you do not, we're free to make any member force you to.

When I first saw the NS10 it was in the mid-late 80s when small studio monitors usually meant a pair of nearfield Auratone cubes, so they were something new at least to me. Not a professional in the field here, but I knew some people and recall that nearly all of them said about the NS10 that they're from OK to bad, but they're the standard and you must keep them in the control room because any engineer coming from $BIG_STUDIO would want them for being a de facto reference.

I'm very happy with my pair of small KRK Rokit at home, how would you compare the two?
