The main issue with that stance is that a lot of human suffering happens because others claim it is "out of their control" to do anything. Dividing things into the two buckets "in my control" and "out if my control" allows a lot of leeway for us to excuse selfish behavior.

I think it's prudent to make it out business to get control over and fix things that are actively causing harm. Or as Raymond Chen might say, "Be somebody":

While this specific feature, at least for now, is Pixel exclusive, Google Translate itself still is completely free, and usable even without an account by anyone anywhere. It's hard to see the financial incentive to provide unlimited translations to anyone in the world for free.

These giant tech companies definitely a lot of shady and ambiguous stuff, but I still think we should commend them when they put resources in these other techs that aren't necessarily money makers, but provide a net plus for humanity. It's clear that these projects are being funded by money made in other parts of Google, such as their ad business.

It's similar to how BuzzFeed is mostly a trashy website, but once in a while they will come up with well researched thorough articles. It's clear that their shitty front page is a fund for them to achieve greater things.
Hopefully there will be enough details on how they accomplish this when they release their paper.
I think you're identifying why the Pixel program is better than the Nexus program. Google's completely responsible for the design and support now.
> my account

You use the singular form of "account", which is interesting to me. Are they preventing you in some way (IP address tracking, device tracking, etc) from creating a new account? Why would you not do so?

I wholeheartedly agree that a Youtube violation should not affect your other Google products, like a laptop or email account. Similarly, an Amazon problem should not affect an AWS account. But I will concede that they're within their rights to disable your Youtube account for uploading copyrighted material.
This looks fantastic! I have a couple of questions not answered in the FAQ though:

1. Is there (or will there be) any way to create an encrypted git repo shared between a few users that aren't part of a team? e.g. could I create a repo that belongs to eridius,chris and have us both access it?

2. Can I create a repo that belongs to a subteam?

And on a different note, I want to create a team but the name is currently taken by a user. The user has zero activity (no devices, no proofs, chain is completely empty, literally nothing). Is there any way to recover a name that's being squatted on?
Significant portion of TSLA float is short https://ycharts.com/companies/TSLA/short_interest and that's before we get into the options activity, so any whiff of news usually impacts those side games in a significant way.

There's a strong incentive for either side to overblow a piece of news that fits their agenda.
Not to mention that most so called "Reviews" these days are just a rote listing of the products features from company press releases.

I can't count the number of laptop / smartphone reviews I've seen the last couple of years that don't even contain a single benchmark. The extent of the actual "reviewing" that takes place is some glib anecdote about how "there didn't seem to be much noticeable lag" or some other contrite BS.

I hate this race to the bottom of the customers presumed intelligence.

She paid over $600 for it, I wouldn't exactly call it a bargain bin device.
>I know it sounds like first world problems (people used to work 100 hour weeks)

People also used to work much less back in the day -- well, except sharecroppers, slaves and the very poor. This changed with the advent of the industrial age.

Farming work is (or used to be, before modern farming techniques) seasonal, and can be quite very light for the better part of the year. Professions like doctor, store owner, merchant etc didn't require anyone to sit 8+ hours straight in some cubicle. Shops (in 19th century Paris or Chicago or London etc) weren't optimized to serve tons of customers as fast as possible like a modern chain. Small towns and villages -- where most of the population (the rural) in any country lived before 19th century -- were far more leisurely too.

And as somebody already pointed "studies have shown that hunter-gatherer societies spent much less than 40h/week "working" and had more leisure time than we do".

Heck, to Romans and Ancient Greeks being hard at work was only fit for a slave -- not a citizen.
If you're syncing the repository itself (e.g. over Dropbox) instead of using git remotes, then it could be exploited.
Not just communication style. They police content, too.
A minute has only 60 seconds in it, which gives you around 1 second/line. That's pretty fast!
I understand the appeal. I've lived places where I can't even order off a menu. My in-laws don't speak any English. If/when this works flawlessly it has the potential to change the world. It just amazes me that there's a company that can ship star trek level tech yet nobody can make wireless earbuds easy to use!
And some of us here would much rather have benchmarks for software we use rather than # of cores or clock speed. I'd like to know how long it takes for my IDE to spin up, important websites to render.

And whether it will cook my lap and get as loud as a jet engine if I push it a little.
Blockchain is a terrible solution.

Firstly Proof of Work is incredibly energy inefficient, to extent that electricity consumed to append to public blockchains is comparable to electricity used by nation states.

Secondly POW by its inherent design recentralises trust. When mining evolves to deploying on ASIC and deploying it where electricity is cheap you are recentralising trust to a tiny few who are willing and able to fulfil the ever higher and steadily increasing bar that POW, by design, demands. The trust model at this point has evolved from technical difficulty of fabricating & maintaining long duration forked chains to one where key block creators are too financially invested in success of the chain overall to allow fraud to happen. At this point, when your trust model is essentially too much to loose to cheat, there are scant distinguishing features between a blockchain ledger and a traditional centralised clearing house.

To steal a line from a good book I read recently about blockchains: "The good bits of blockchain are not original, and the original bits of blockchain turn out to be much good."

5 Things I Learned about Psychology
It's not a problem at all.

I have a lot of nice-ish headphones and in ear monitors, and I thought it be more of an inconvenience, but it's not. The adapter works fine.

And now that wireless audio sounds good, I find that I use AirPods or Powerbeats almost exclusively while walking around. Turns out the only time I ever plug my nice headphones into the phone is when I'm sitting for long stretches.
"In the first case, (and based on their own statements) those people were buying up phones by the hundreds, shipping them to a single physical address and then scalping over the internet.

It's basically fraud. So yes, they probably got picked up by an automated algorithm that looks for hijacking/CC fraud or bot-nets."

No, it's not "basically fraud". Yes, it violates Google's terms, and banning the customers from using Fi would have been a reasonable response, but Google's TOS is not enshrined in criminal law. Unless your position at Google is on the legal team, you might want to be careful about throwing around phrases like that with nothing to back it up. By admitting you work there, you are officially speaking for the company with such statements.
I'm being a constructive as I feel I need to be considering the comments you made.
The point is, parents aren't protecting kids by doing that. They're deluding themselves into thinking that it's effective when in reality the kids are getting bullied throughout the day at the school.

Well, it's not like the problem can be solved, so I guess parents need something to convince themselves they're making a difference.

The stronger argument I think is that Apple did not get its App Store put into a global standard which can't be avoided in exchange for promising to let people sells apps on it under FRAND terms.

Apple can do whatever it wants on its own App Store. It's their device and they aren't a monopoly nor is it anti-competitive for them to charge a high fee on their own store.

But Qualcomm IP is part of the LTE standard on the express condition that they will license their share of LTE mandatory features fairly. I don't think it's fair to take a percentage cut of the whole package price for an IP license that's part of a global standard.
1) The $600/month depends on how expensive the plan you had before. I've seen COBRA be as low as $350 to as high as $800, depending on the plan you had before.

2) Everything is relative. $600/month is certainly FAR FAR cheaper than the $10k/month the medicine I critically take costs. Comparable ACA plan w/o outrageous deductible is usually $700-900.

Lesson to be learned is, just because it isn't cost effective in your eyes, doesn't mean that many can't benefit from it! Feel lucky that your health needs are so basic, it almost certainly won't stay that way forever.
I had a similar experience and decided not to buy high-end Android phones: the modular (or fragmented) nature of Android's ecosystem doesn't lend itself for quality end-to-end experience. This is not meant to be a knock on Android. I exclusively used Android for the last 4 years, and I like Google's software, the choices on hardware, etc.

However, when it comes to end-to-end experience, Apple's vertically integrated approach is simply better. This is one of the key reasons I switched back to iPhone recently: I just want my phone to work and to be taken care of when it doesn't work.
I have the Nexus 5, great phone! But it no longer gets updated. And with the Blueborne security issue this annoys the heck out of me. With iPhone I can at least expect 5 years lifetime with updates.
I have Google Assistant on my OnePlus 3. Would these work with it the same as with the Pixel 2? Would these work with a Pixel 1 the same way?
"Why?"

Because Gruber is a biased individual whose professional existence is to pander to a narrow crowd. He has nothing broadly interesting to say about cross-cutting concerns.

"He’s complaining that the iPhone had the highest score ever."

He previously dismissed DXO when the iPhone was beat. Now he wants to simultaneously crow about the iPhone taking the victory while claiming that he totally doesn't care about it anyways. People buy this teenager level nonsense?

"Are you claiming you can measure art?"

This is absurd. DXO is a broad, generalist, imperfect measure of imaging devices, and paradoxically there is broad agreement that the devices that do really well generally are capable of the best photos.

But you can take a great photo with a pinhole camera, from an artistic perspective. Does this make a pinhole camera the best? That is nonsensical.

Don't believe DXO. Don't believe Consumer Reports. Don't believe metacritic or star reviews or RT or whatever. But to claim it measures nothing, or to cite some biased player, is not credible.
Ask HN: Make affiliate toy (reddl.it) into a real site?
I made reddl.it, a sort of stream-of-consciousness of books posted on literature-related subreddits - as a toy to play with EC2, Lambda, Dynamo DB, and just the general suite of AWS tooling. It was a lot of fun and I'm currently writing a series of tutorials about it - a sort of MVP for connecting those parts of the Amazon ecosystem together.

After seeing another reddit-related product advertising site, I was curious what it would take to make this more functional? Affiliate advertising is a bear, but I thought it would be fun as an opportunity for a little over-engineering.

So my questions are:

- What sort of information would you want to see for each book?
- How do you see the layout?
- Any ideas for better product(book) extraction?
Goddammit, all I want is 32GB of RAM in something like this. If Intel isn't going to get around to doing LPDDR4 anytime soon, AMD should.
Why should it? I just don’t get the obsession. As long as no one commits any warnings (and it’s easy to have a no warning policy), then I don’t see why it should be enabled. Sometimes I just quickly wanna throw in an unsafe printf here and there, or not change a type in every place when iterating and trying changes. It’s just strange to disallow yourself to try quick changes that warns because they might be unwanted in certain situations.

And don’t worry, if the new idea I’m trying is worth it, I will fix it up so it doesn’t have any warnings. And I saved a lot of time by not fixing all these warnings on the previous 2 ideas I tried.
It's the advantage you get when your city's development occurs after centuries of experience of others, you can improve on the mistakes every other metropolis made. The same is true of sg's transit system, roads, etc.

The parent provided one datapoint - his company. But I can tell you from personal experience that this is not the norm (at least in San Francisco.) I've interviewed at a wide variety of companies and I can't even remember the last time I wasn't asked to whiteboard.

Pretty much every company you've heard of uses a similar technical phone screen -> onsite with whiteboarding process. If you're not somewhat proficient at them, you're greatly limiting yourself.
As I understand it, it's not for videos. It's 15 photos per second, any of which might be the one you keep. But maybe I misunderstand that and someone can correct me.
Adding matching of the laplacian to the optimization could be really helpful for this. I found this paper the other day and really enjoyed it https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.01253
Sure, you can use them as a consumer all the time, but that doesn't mean that you need to write your own to program in Lisps, for instance. For the few that do need it, it's a worthy tool to have.
It's difficult to compete with free, even if (and I'm not saying it is) the free version is substandard. I'm sure the federal government is budget conscious with the current administration.
GitHub pull requests actually are exposed as git objects (not the comments though, just the commits that make up the PR). If you want to see the commits in PR #515 you can just `git fetch origin pull/515/head`, or `git fetch origin pull/515/merge` to get the merge commit GitHub created when testing if your PR can be merged into the target branch.

I say you are committing the same sin exactly.

The audio industry is the most adapter-heavy industry on the planet. I need to carry a bag of adapters, and I'm just a small-time home-recording guy.

Single/double RCA to mono/stereo big/small jack, double mono/stereo big/small jack to stereo/mono small/big jack, the other way around, and more, you name it.

Even if you got a 3.5mm jack, you’d still need adapters, because very little audio equipment uses 3.5mm jacks anyway. Even the most basic stuff only carries 1/4”, RCA or XLR. My headphones do not carry a 3.5mm jack as well.

You might think of committing to a single cable-type everywhere, and being done with it – but if you’ve ever coded in the real world you know how realistic that sounds.
Ran it on https://canpicker.com/. It's kind of cool and accurate but I was expecting it to pick up stuff like react and maybe finer grain details like individual libraries.
Yes, Apple has made the same assertion against every FRAND patent holders for many, many years-- without zero evidence. This time around, it's slightly different in that Apple successfully engineered a scheme in which KFTC convicted Qualcomm of anti-competitive licensing practices.

Apple is late to the wireless game and now they are trying to find a way to pay as little as possible while not contributing virtually nothing to it and being one of the largest benefactors of the tech.
Hopefully, for the part about stop hiring from SV, very seriously. I would prefer government systems be engineered by people who don't think engineering is just a glorified senior CS project.
Outside of their tents/caves/etc homes.
You don't have to open Facebook, you just have to receive your notification, e.g., read their email. They know when their reminders to use Facebook are being avoided.

You might be lumping all notifications into the same bucket. There's a difference between a Facebook message that notifies you of someone else IMing or commenting on your photo, and a Facebook message that reminds you to use Facebook or upsell you on services.

That difference has standard terminology in the web business sphere: transactional email vs marketing email. Generally speaking these things have a hard line between them, and are easy to define & separate. Marketing is sales, and transactional is private notifications about your account activity & private notifications from social contacts. Marketing is what other sites stop sending after too much inaction, and marketing is what Facebook is increasing in response to inaction. Transactional notifications don't stop, and they shouldn't stop. I suspect you're misunderstanding me and assuming I'm talking about all email, and not just marketing.

My tax sheets are updated throughout the year for various reasons (bonuses, side gigs, property sales, etc.), so I rely on the version history. I also keep a lot of other stuff that I update more rapidly (mostly in text documents.)
I will be a contrarian but why is this a big deal? Most of the startup I know use:

* Gmail, Google apps

* Dropbox

* Slack

* GitHub

* Zendesk, Intercom, Salesforce or whatever

All of them are closed source. There is a lot of truth in the fact that one can only 'rely' on closed source products for non-infrastructure software. Only developers use open source products as such. Happy to be given counter examples.
"If you are X% less productive you will be able to charge X% less for your work"

That is not how it works practically. Less productive people don't get less salaries, unless their productivity is going really really down. Most companies use hours spend at work as proxy for productivity for salary purposes. Oftentimes you may look like super productive cause you are fixing a lot of bugs or constantly runing meetings. That bug were cause by you or those meetings could be half shorter is something superiors rarely see.

It is just hard to measure exact productivity.
> Only one bad thing, you can't be charging while listening to music.

There are cheap dongles available which allow you to do this.
The amount of work we've done this year with Deeplearning4j on performance has been much higher than previous years. We brought DL4J up to par with community standards while maintaining the advantages of Java. I think what a lot of people don't realize is that a ton of effort has been made toward ETL and integration tooling.

It's very difficult to train on multiple GPUs while maintaining performance of ETL. ETL is a scary hidden bottleneck.

I'm very interested to see how Eclipse can continue to push development. I think the people who will especially benefit from this are devops/production teams operationalizing data science.
I've had nothing but good experiences using 1Password.
What do you mean by 'domain-wide'? Is it supposed to pick up everything on the domain and its subdomains?
I think Nexus phones sacrificed in the materials department to hit their price point. Other phones from Chinese manufacturers had similar specs, so it isn't impossible.

Custom tooling for complex industrial design is expensive, and the Nexus series tended to re-use existing phone designs wholesale, which also likely cut costs.

Since I put a case on my phone anyway, I don't particularly care about the industrial design. I also understand I am not in the majority there. But a $500 premium is a lot...
Honestly, it probably connects to wifi too. What they meant is that all the AI is done on the device and the photos themselves aren't sent out to Google (until you specifically tell it to from the app). Note that to view the photos, you have to use the app anyway, so it clearly can communicate with your phone and send photos.

The point he was trying to make is that the photo selection is done on the device and not by Google servers. Obviously the device has network connection, it just doesn't use it for that specific usecase which is analyzing images, but it can use it for other stuff.
It seems these only work in this fashion with Pixel devices.

I understand they're trying to create an air of exclusivity but it really just comes off kind of greedy and dickish when in reality, any earbuds with a microphone should be capable of doing the same thing through Google Translate.
why did I immediately think of Aaron Swartz when reading this.......
Because not making that case undefined puts additional and completely unnecessary burden on any implementation of memcpy? Now you have defined that memcpy(_, _, 0) is a no-op, so now the implementation has to make sure that it remains a no-op, which, if for instance a particular memcpy needs to perform an operation before the actual copy, may well involve adding conditionals to your implementation. For a case that a program will never sensibly run into (see my previous comment for why).
It's not core hardware for the vast majority of people.
DAE immediately think of Aaron Swartz when reading this article?
Articles like this show up so frequently that you might think that excessive commenting is the major problem afflicting software development. If it is, I have somehow not run into it.

What's more, the articles are all the same, echoing one another with nary a new insight. The only issue of interest here is why so many developers choose this issue to redundantly blog about. Is it a starter topic to get some practice on, before advancing to other, more technical shibboleths, such as the awful inexpressiveness of statically-typed languages?
Sharing copyrighted content is
Scientifically, there is no case there.
