I travel to a good number of middle America small towns and consistently see small business / middle manager upper middle class men wearing them. No women, fwiw.

The people wearing them aren't techie types at all which is why I'd guess the sentiment in tech circles is so negative on the watch's success. I think we're used to seeing our colleagues being the earlier adopters of gadgets like these, but the Apple watch early adopters include a diverse set of non-tech people.
Reading replies here, sounds like the problem to get HA on budget are decent power consumption and miniaturization.

I wonder if coming up with a earpiece-with-smartphone like combo can be a solution? So the main device with the battery and signal processing SOC is separated from the earpiece. This main device can live in a pocket or attached to the user's belt, while connected to the earpiece through wire.

Perhaps no the most convenient solution, but would it be possible to make such device available cheaply off the selves?

The FBI 'released' these documents to the public over a year ago.
Def thinking about it but not sure how. Maybe Twitter API. Google trends does not have a public API I believe.

Other than that I'm planning to reward people based on their predictions of what could become a trend. The earlier they are and the bigger the trend the more points they get. Then votes from these people would weigh more in the algorithm which could potentially increase the accuracy and also incentivise people to input data :)
So they relabel it and it would be fine?

FBI collected 6,9000 mobile devices last year and couldn't access most of them
Most of this doesn't appear to be confiscated documents, but rather just letters sent to the FBI and a few scanned (covers of) books.

The 3rd part of the release is somewhat interesting as it's about flying saucers (from a news letter). It has the statement(s):

> This letter will not reach you in time to sight a flying saucer over New York on the night of June 10, from 10pm to 1am

It then goes on to discuss "space people".

Honestly, I'm wondering what exactly they released, as this was just a letter sent to Nikola Tesla... So it's not all that interesting, besides getting insight(s) into some tabloids of the time. Nothing really all that juicy, unless I'm missing something.

It would seem to me that, even in that case, building new housing increases the housing price in that local area, while not building new housing increases the housing price everywhere.

Is there an alternative plan to make housing prices decrease? The long term is at least better than never.

I know there's the whole thing where you designate certain units as subsidized affordable housing and have people on a lottery/waiting-list to get it, and having some of that probably helps in the short term, but at least in Cambridge the subsidies are becoming unsustainable. Even people making six figures end up needing subsidized housing.

"The web" is a collection of independent networks providing a means to traverse hyperlinked text documents across any network that is addressable.

Not only are servers not a problem, host-based addressing is what makes the web work at all, as numerical addressing by itself would have killed the web's growth long ago, and users would have no reasonable way to address content.

> And the medical profession / pharmaceutical industry is complicit in the opium epidemic.

You're painting with a very broad brush here. Many pharmaceutical companies product no opiates at all. Furthermore, most doctors won't prescribe them at all, especially after the DEA crackdown. Even if you get seriously hurt, you might have a tough time finding a pain management specialist, unless you live in one of a handful of geographic locations.

> don't actually work in the sense that you take them for a period of time and are cured.

That's kind of a ridiculous standard. For example, take HIV, antiretroviral medications don't cure AIDS, but if you take them, you'll die of old age or heart disease instead of AIDS, and you live an extra 20-30 years. That's pretty incredible. Or look at medication for seizures, they don't cure the heretofore unknown cause of seizures, but do prevent them nonetheless. Would you rather take meds and have no seizures or avoid a medication that doesn't actually cure you and die because you fell down the stairs during a seizure?

Ask HN: How do I get better at solving issues (while coding)?
I've been hobby coding for 4-5 years (I'm in my early 20s) because I find it fun. Despite being diagnosed with ADD, I recently decided to pursue a SWE degree and it's been intense but fun. I had an exam today and failed it, largely due to inability to solve an issue. In hindsight it was a fairly easy issue, but I'm pretty disappointed in myself. I know the syntax and how it all goes together, it's just the solving part that's so damn hard for me.

How can I improve my problem solving skills?
Ok, another wunderkind story. At the age of 11:

* Knows how to program Arduino

* knows how to write Android Apps

* has a working understanding of chemistry

* is able to infuse carbon nanotubes with chlorine and build a disposable sensor from this.

* understands marketing enough to promote her product via the app stores (there really is no other reason for using a smartphone instead of three colored LEDs to display results).

Is anyone really buying this?

Here's a more likely story:

* Parents see scientific curiosity in her daughter, as well as the will to help people.

* Parents see a fear of lead in water and therefore a market for testkits

* Parents see that testkits already on the market suffer
from being unreliable in untrained hands/too difficult to use.

* Parents have the idea for a better, "digital testkit", but that turns out to be way more expensive than anything that is already on the market.

* Parents then spoonfeed the idea to her daughter. They do the work, she gets the credit (and probably thinks that she did most of the work).

* The media picks the story up because "awwwww ... smart kid", resulting in free marketing for what would otherwise be a totally overengineered/overpriced product.

They are more likely to experience downward economic mobility. And more likely to experience multi-generational poverty.

Again, this is unrelated to async/await. Normal functions might return a number or an object or undefined or whatever. Since JavaScript is a dynamic language it is unsafe to call a function without either 1) Trusting that the function returns what its API says it should return or 2) Checking the return type and acting appropriately.

So, the grandparent's complaint is about JavaScript being a dynamic language, async/await doesn't fix this issue or make it any worse.

Honestly feels like concept art brought to life and anyone dismissing it and not even giving it a chance just are missing out on some seriously impressive visuals resting perfectly between realistic and stylistic.

For a 3 year old phone, it's frustrating but still miles ahead of the last Android phone I kept for 18 months. It's still frustrating that the iOS update is basically forced on us instead of being an optional upgrade like on desktop.

The phenomenon you’re describing perfectly describes “we are adding new supply but not enough to keep up with demand” and I think you’re getting the causation wrong. The California LAO has published reports showing areas with more new housing had less displacement, for example.

I always hated Soylent. Their bold and false marketing (things like "We solved nutrition.", "Complete nutrition no matter which flavor you choose."). If it was me, I would ban them everywhere, not just Canada, because of that false advertising.

It is one thing, making a drink and selling it, and another marketing it like that. It was very painful from the start listening how 2 guys with no background SOLVED NUTRITION.
And their choice of ingredients is bad in my opinion. Main ones are soy and sunflower oil. Really, find me at least one balanced nutritionist who would recommend sunflower oil in large quantities (hint : omega 3:6:9). Soy has it`s problems too. Then they mix some vitamins and minerals in, but you skip on all of the micronutrients and anything else from real food that is not in Soylent. Also very low fiber. Then your digestion will have problems too eating liquid only for long term. Etc, etc.
