Why post a bad public apology at all? Regardless of whether he gave a good private apologies to his victims (he surely didn't), there's nothing to be gained from a public apology in which you don't admit to any particular wrongdoing.
I wonder if we will finally go back to hardware design principles that prioritizes functionality over look.

The Design Of Everyday Things gives examples of great designs:

* Rotary dial phones were designed in such a way that when a phone felled on the floor it not only survived, but the ongoing phone-call was not hanged. Today countless users brake their smartphones glasses and yet the mainstream smartphones to do not incorporate any design elements that would make it harder to drop the phone or that would protect the glass from the impact. Such elements would make the designs less minimal, so are discarded.

* Cars, a complex machines that can easily hurt others, traditionally have controls designed in such a way that you can enter a car model that is totally new to you and comfortably operate it within minutes. You can operate most controls without a need of looking away from the road. Today, we are ditching this proven design in favor of a single touch screen, because it looks so much more elegant and modern.
The Ford Mustang fails basic safety tests:

"“Of concern, the full width frontal test showed a risk of serious head, chest and leg injury for the rear passenger. There was also insufficient inflation of both the driver and front passenger airbags in the frontal offset test which allowed the driver’s head to contact the steering wheel and the passenger’s head to contact the dashboard,”

“The driver’s door opened in the pole test, and whiplash protection for rear-end collisions was marginal,”"

However, the demographic that buys Fords here in Australia are unlikely to read that ( or anything else...)

"Brusque questioning" will obviously be applied completely subjective.

Once you start deferring to police officers' immediate judgement, the legal process is tainted to amplify every single stereotype police officers hold.

White victims will obviously be treated with more deference than blacks, Spanish-speaking people will all be assumed to be illegal immigrants etc.

So the young man accused of something will be "brusquely questioned" within the first minutes and confess to the crime. While the old woman is treated with deference, has a chance to talk to a lawyer, and never gets convicted.

And the worst thing is the spiral, self-amplifying nature: start like that, and the sort of people already suspect will be the only ones actually being charged with crimes and convicted, which will reinforce all the ideas the process started out with.
"“Of concern, the full width frontal test showed a risk of serious head, chest and leg injury for the rear passenger.

As someone who worked for Amazon in Seattle, the above poster is partly right. Most of it has to do with Amazon's toxic culture and hiring practices. They will hire anyone with a pulse, speaking English decently not required, having a personality not required.

Any resident patent examiners care to comment on how the pre-2010 production system was internally gamed? Current system?

USPTO looks to be openly recruiting patent examiners[1] from the following engineering disciplines: electrical, computer, mechanical, biomedical, industrial. Locations constrained to Alexandria, San Jose, and Denver...all high cost-of-living cities. No listings for Dallas or Detroit.

Which brings up one pay scale[2] regardless of locality. Even if GS-0576-13 is non-competitive promotion potential, compensation strikes me as busted, especially for San Jose.

Twiizers/fail0verflow work is amazing. I wonder why didn't even try with Xbox though.
Nice- the old psychic paper trick.

I made a little experiment like that myself when I was studying for my Masters. In the town where I live there is a bus card system that uses scratch cards. You get a card with dates (1-31), months and four years (say 2012 to 2016) and you're responsible yourself for scratching off the seven days, month and year when you intend to use the card. So, if you want to use the card starting next Monday, you'd scratch off dates 23 to 29, October and 2017. Then you show it to the bus driver when you board the bus. The understanding is that if you scratch off the wrong days, you can't use the card.

Obviously, mistakes can and do happen. A couple of times I noticed I had scratched off the wrong days or month, or even year. Once I scratched off eight days. One of those mistakes (can't remember which) was noticed by a driver, but most seemed oblivious to the fact my card was irregular, at least (if not totally invalid).

So I decided to make my little experiment: I kept buying and scratching (correctly) a new card each week, but I also kept on me the previous week's card and showed this one to the driver. Then I marked a tick on the card for each time I was waved through without a batting of an eylid. I got about a dozen cards like that, each with a week's worth of ticks or so. I got caught exactly once (at which point I just said "oops, mistake" and took out the right card).

Outcome: we have refuted the null hypothesis that people see what they're looking at.
Citing performance (especially related to micro-optimization) everytime we discuss language design is not a right thing to do. Most applications don't require or benefit from such micro-optimization(tight control of layout).

This sounds like a naive response to a fundamentally flawed system. The EU ETS has been a failure from the beginning. Commoditising pollution just leads to more abstractions and opportunities for fraud, laundering and lack of accountability. It takes the onus away from government regulation and puts it in the hands of the market whereby those most responsible for pollution already have enormous agency to influence market outcomes in their favour.

I don’t know. Isn’t that a matter of trade-offs? Sure smartphones used to have a very long battery life and were more robust in the “good old days”, but they had tiny screens and real keyboards.

Even though it never broke when I let it slip, I don’t miss my old blackberry. I can so do so much more with my iPhone today that I am ok with it being less sturdy.

This is so paranoid as to be absurd. Your contention is that an article in an obscure literary magazine about an author from 100 years ago is to be used as a means of distraction about this scandal?

This article stands approximately zero chance of diverting the news cycle in the least way, and its 'collution is not a bad thing' line as you describe it has no relevance to Clinton, because it's explicitly about the powerless, not the powerful.

Fair point about the other commenter glibly talking about Russian collaborators, might I suggest a concise reply to their comment?
Really, only “these days”? Don’t you think it has always been like this?
If you find someone who works on phone design for a modern phone manufacturer, I imagine they can tell you about hundreds of tiny unnoticed design elements which serve to make the phone more robust against falls. I am amazed at how well modern phones withstand falls, e.g. continuing to work after being dropped 6 feet and landing on one corner on a tile floor.

I have seen a rotary phone in a thrift store with plastic bits chipped off from a fall, and I imagine there are other phones which never made it to the thrift store because their mechanisms broke after falling. I suspect that given equivalent falls the modern high-end smartphones will withstand them better on average than old Bell phones (especially if you drop the full phone and not just the handset). It would be an interesting test though.

But telephone falls weren’t too common 40–100 years ago because they were enormous, attached by a robust cord, and didn’t get carried around in a pocket or purse all the time, held across the fingers while being manipulated with a thumb, or used to take selfies.

The best way to make smartphones more robust without compromising other essential attributes is to use stronger materials and a slightly grippier surface finish. The newer Apple phones have reportedly improved along these lines (the one I have is a few years old, so who knows..). For a customer who cares deeply about protection from falls, it’s always possible to wrap one of these things in a thick rubber shell.

Extra physical protrusions etc. are discarded from smartphones because they make them much less pleasant to hold in a pocket.

2. Police officers abuse and do not care if they are recorded.

It is not clear which one is which. 1 makes you think we are in a really good shape. 2 makes you think that it is a very bad situation. If it is either 1 or 2, then it can't be something in between, right?

What do I pay for?

As a non-profit organization, we don’t make profit on our operations. All the payments we receive go directly to deleting emission allowances. The price we charge you for deleting one emission allowance consists of 3 parts:

1. The price of the emission allowance. We buy emission allowances upfront and uses the price that was paid for it. Therefore, the price of an emission allowance might be different than the spot price at the time that you buy it.
2. A transaction fee of 15%. We use the transaction fee to cover operational costs (such as web hosting and payment systems).
3. VAT of 21%, imposed by the Belgian government.
> Lifetime limits would create a natural incentive to do research that matters. Researchers would have to ask themselves, “Is this project I’m pursuing worth the words it will cost me?”

Well, researchers already have a natural time limit: everyone will die/retire. Sensible researchers ask themselves, "Is this project worth the lifetime it will cost me?" -- I don't see why a word limit would cause a substantial change in the answers to either question.
It's always about trade-offs, the question is what are the sides of those trade-off and whether consumers really care about the things being traded in.

For instance, I don't believe that durability and large screens are mutually exclusive. Consider a popular phone accessory that is a rubber case. I've been using one to protect my (then) $800 glass piece, and it's totally fine after many drops. In fact, I don't know of people who use such cases and have problems with screen damages. All because it adds an extra impact-absorbing bevel on each side, including above the screen (so the screen isn't hitting the floor even if the phone falls face-first). What's the problem for manufacturers to add such a padding layer? Everyone is dropping battery replaceability anyway.

(Also: rubber cases improve grip, so the phone won't slip out of your hand or your pocket that easily.)

I feel it's like there is some influential person in the industry who strongly believes that what the customers really want is to get intimate with their phones, to caress their glass surface - that's why there should be no bevel, and if you can't make it all from glass, then make the rest from aluminium. Well, I for one don't want to get touchy-feely with my phone, I want it to stand a decent chance of not breaking when it hits something.
Jokes aside, a special "network calculator" mode when you type in e.g. a CIDR and it prints out an IP range or netmask, or when you type in a EUI-64 (MAC) and you get a link-local address would be awesome.

It's all almost a no-brainer but only "almost" - I always tend to forget the exact rules (e.g. where exactly that FF:FE goes in).

You would roll your own CDN? I think that setting up a worldwide server network with seamless scaling would involve some work.
But they are not just data because the language handles NULL differently from other values. The compiler is allowed to treat NULL pointers differently from other pointer values. NULL is special in C, it's not just a pointer to address 0.

>C is about machine representation, and it's typed just enough to map to hardware (specify ABI of functions).

I don't understand that at all. How do enums map to hardware? How do structs? Clearly the line is arbitrary. Would adding generics mean that C maps less to hardware? What would that even mean?

And if C is all about talking directly to the hardware, how come the language has no first class support for SIMD, for preload, for the various CPU flags? And to get back to our point, how does NULL map to hardware? A CPU has no issue addressing at 0, it's nothing special. An assembler doesn't treat address 0 differently from any other, unlike C explicitly does.

Join my religion and preach: C is not a macro assembler, C is not a macro assembler.

>Don't be deluded to think you can represent all (or even many) invariants in types. Some other languages try to do that (and it always ends up in a big mess).

>To address the issue with nanosleep, this is not what we were talking about. nanosleep does expect a null pointer in the second argument. (And I think in this rare case an assert(req) would be justified. Or maybe just split it into 2 functions).

My point is that in this case the rem pointer is an algebraic data type. Passing NULL here doesn't mean "please store rem at (void*)0" it means "I don't want rem". Except this is not expressed in C's type system so you don't know that unless you read nanosleep's implementation or its documentation. the rem pointer, unlike the req pointer, is nullable, therefore it's effectively an option type but as far as C is concerned they're the same type.

If you assert() it then you can catch the problem early on at a runtime cost (and only when the situation eventually arises). If you make this part of the type system the compiler can validate that statically at compile time.

> The innovative rubber membrane and the “volcano” shape to the keys has been called “the most influential button design ever”, and combined with the eye-popping orange color, makes this a really stunning piece, especially when seen and held in person.

These kinds of rubber membrane buttons were popular because they were incredibly cheap.

They also suck.

(At least, every example I’ve ever tried was functionally terrible compared to real switches; I’ve never tried the Olivetti originals, but I would expect them to also suck.)
This seems to be based upon the idea that the EU ETS system works. Which it doesn't. Since many years.

Far too many emission certificates have been given out for free to industries. And there are plenty of loopholes in the system.
Smartphone design is downright terrible in terms of functionality, they might look nice, but I've had so many phones that were very slippery and didn't offer a firm grip as if the manufacturer says you should buy a case. And Apple is the top offender, think antennagate, headphone jack...

That includes software, responsive design was created with the goal of adapting websites to smaller screens, as phones got bigger I don't see many sites utilizing responsive design so that I can still use my phone with one hand.

Also, I loved the MagSafe charging port on the MacBook, that is an example of great functionality on design, then Apple throws that out of the window and makes a single port laptop.

There's a subset of Italian Design called Memphis which this seems to be based on.

The point of Memphis was to create funky colour combinations in living spaces filled with extravagantly geometric objects, not to decorate utilitarian objects with odd colours because "design".

Memphis was a big influence on early-90s graphic design, which - ironically - gives these designs more than a hint of early-Internet "What is this company called Google?" nostalgia.

I'm not sure if that's deliberate - and if it is deliberate, I'm really not sure it's a good look to be aiming for in 2017.
