"Fantasy" -- there you go again.

Some local junior college may be able to give you some remedial education in reading comprehension.

I'm being attacked because I'm posting thoughts that are unusual. It's the same as in the usual advice never to talk about politics, sex, or religion. My thoughts are upsetting to some people. One reason for the upset is just simple jealousy. Or, it is common to try to beat down a nail that sticks up. Or to gang up on anyone who does not conform to the group.

Point by point, you have yet to be able to find even a single point where I said something wrong.

But being successful, e.g., even just enough for VC funding, means that something is unusual. Planning and executing a $1T market cap is even more unusual -- just "another Google" comes along only about once each 10 years, and $1T has not happened yet. No doubt plenty of people would have dumped on Henry Ford as he was becoming successful.

I've done NOTHING wrong. The people attacking me need to look at their motivations.

I expected too much of the HN audience; I over estimated that audience and was wrong.

Emoji aren’t meant to represent humans, though, no? They’re meant to represent body language—and it just happens to be convenient to visually depict body language using a human body.

Personally, I think it was a mistake to enclose the first smiley in a circle. It turned it from a facial expression, into a head with a face. It was all skeuomorphically downhill from there.

There may be an analogy here but I think you are just introducing confusion by trying to equate ad revenues with "taxes" and customer churn with "emigration".

Facebook's business practices aren't a "monopoly" in any usual sense of the word and so once again it is just making it difficult to discuss the associated concerns/problems by expanding the meaning of "monopoly".
The world is getting more homogenous but it has a long way to go, so I think it is still extremely applicable. And the world is nowhere near as Americanized as you think, I would argue that in most places it takes much more effort to avoid the local culture and stay in a Westernized comfort zone than what you suggest.
Do you not realize the downside of having some shady syndicate controlled by rich and powerful people dictate which symbols people are allowed to use to communicate with each other electronically? Or do you realize it and you think it's great, because you expect them to act in your interests, and against those of people you hate?

Do you volunteer to be the one to inform business owners and small art house cinema operators that they're now forbidden to engage in any marketing of their goods and services, and all the media that the majority of their revenue is now illegal? This is a completely unrealistic fantasy unless you want to provoke a large scale uprising.
Hyperbolic article. Author makes a bold claim, but doesn’t actually have much to support it. It claims Apple needs AI to survive and uses Google’s “AI powered photo enhancements” as an example of why Google is better. I would have expected a more visionary argument.
Whatever stupid military decisions the US has made, you are being quite flippant and ignoring one very important difference between the US and Finland and that is that the US is a superpower that maintains the geopolitical order with the help of its military. This includes the securing of maritime trade routes. Don't take that for granted. The US is heir to the British Empire and as such it is not a small Scandinavian country of less than 6 million people that, by the way, benefits, along with the rest of Europe, from the security provided by the American empire.

> You still own whatever you own

Not if you don't pay the rent.

> and can still sell it, destroy it, modify it, whatever

And when you sell it, you're basically selling a rental agreement.

> Calling it rent and calling the state the true owner doesn't really make sense--you're conflating two separate ideas, I think, to play on people's emotions ("oh noes, the state owns everything!"). It's not true or accurate, though.

Call it whatever you want, I want to actually own my property, instead of having to pay for it on an ongoing basis on threat of deprivation. At the end of the day, the state is the owner, because they are the only ones who don't have to pay to keep it. We can chase our tails all day and nitpick about definitions, but in the purest sense, the government owns almost everything in Norway, if people stop paying the rent/tax/fee.
The thing is, I agree with you about resilience, I agree with you about ignoring perceived slights, but I can't fault her personally for being offended in this way. I can't say she's really being unreasonable by being uncomfortable about that, she has a right to feel this way and even react in such a way without assuming that it's just about "drama" and emotional immaturity" (which you accused her of having).

If the organizers had handled it differently, it might be easier to see her as overreacting, but it's completely unprofessional to chide someone as acting like an adult in a professional setting like that, which probably only plays into whatever she's feeling with people not respecting her.

I felt you were condemning her position, which doesn't seem right. If my posts to you have been very one-sided and dismissive, that's because you were towards her claims.

Thank you for the more balanced posts and the discussion.
Brunch.io maybe?
You misunderstand the purpose of the license.

This is proprietary commercial software with a 100% discount for hobbyist customers. It's very common in other industries, such as with fonts (this is almost identical to the model Blambot uses for some of their comic-book fonts). And there's nothing wrong with that.
Is it though? I though most indications were that although AR/VR/etf is hit stuff, it's still not ready from prime and it's cooling down.

I do think that although he author has a point, Apple will probably be fine. I don't think phones will go away, and I think that Apple will probably enter the voice control unit market.

I think the same thing; this seems like the best evidence we have to date that given sufficient technology it should be possible to communicate in thought between two people.

I’d imagine any such system would have a learning curve as each brain figures out the patterns but it seems there isn’t any fundamental difference that makes each person’s thoughts unintelligible.

(Granted, as siblings one could argue their thoughts would naturally tend toward being intelligible but it seems too early to know the answer to that question)

It's an excellent book that I am fond of. I don't come from a religious upbringing, but that doesn't mean I don't wrestle with spiritual questions.
If you look at business, there is certainly winning and losing but not necessarily falsification. If one business fails, this doesn't prove that nobody else could succeed. Maybe things have changed?

Court cases are won or lost, but sometimes overturned on appeal. Even Supreme Court rulings can be overturned by later rulings.

Artists create art that can win or lose in the marketplace. Art can also gain or lose status based on how it appears to critics. Artists can be popular, notorious, or obscure.

Similarly for writers. Politicians win or lose elections. Nations win or lose wars.

Winning and losing in competitive situations seems more fundamental than falsification. (Take evolution for example.)
Sounds interesting, is there some code I can look at or a blog post or something?
1. 1 + 2 + 3 does not = 24 on an iPhone. Rather, 1 + 23 = 24. Already fixed in upcoming iOS release.

2. This doesn't affect anyone I know, but I do see it in the Apple subreddit from time to time. Not as widespread as you may think.

3. Expensive things have a high cost of repair. Go check how much the windshield costs on a Tesla to replace.

4. Twice as fast Geekbench. The "real world" usage is switching between every app rapidly. Hardly "real world". Go time exporting a 4K 60 FPS video after editing.

I was curious to see if he'd actually said that or if you were misrepresenting a more reasonable claim. I'm not familiar with Jordan Peterson but managed to find this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV2yvI4Id9Q

... in which he says that high-powered careers are very unpleasant due to hyper-competition among people who are exceptionally willing to tilt their work-life balance way toward work, and that most (but not all) of such people are men. Which doesn't sound like that unusual a claim, really: it's a fairly mainstream belief that women average more family-focused than men, and you only need a small difference in means between populations to get a big difference in representation at the far tails of a trait's probability distribution. (I would have preferred that he make the point with less bluster and more graphs, but that's just a matter of taste.)

Is that what you were alluding to, or does he somewhere else contradict this to make the crazy and very different claim that "only men have high enough motivation to be successful in competitive industries"?

The Amber series is excellent.
Sure I'm being flippant, but not about the military, about the bizarre attitude that a government can effectively police the world but can't be trusted to do much of anything else.

Keep the Navy on the oceans, but damn it, keep the government out of my Medicare!
eh...not really? it doesn't seem particularly fruitful. its not going to change anything, or prevent the Finns or Alabama State Bowling League or the Presbyterians from having an undue influence in any future election. I'm really alot more concerned that there seemingly isn't any way to get people to vote based on reasoned discourse about the best way to govern the country.

Given that, showing that some Russians who may or may not have had some ties to Putin's government posted misinformation on Facebook seems a bit irrelevant. Anyone can post misinformation. In your analogy my prized possessions are heaped in the middle of a field 2 hours outside of town.

I'm curious as to why they went with the monorepo approach. This might sound really stupid, but couldn't you just have a seperate repo for each team/service?

My approach is to shove everything in $GOPATH/src.
I live in Seattle, I pay no state tax. My property tax is $5k/year which is and additional 5% at 100k income, but I elected into that and we don't have property tax in the discussion, lets just assuming rental in both locations. Social security caps out iirc. There's still a 20% difference between the effective tax rates.

You could just write a svm-based interpreter directly too.

I wonder what difference these 2 approaches would make.

I'm guesing writing an interpreter directly would be better.
Oddly enough, iOS (even 11) has worked better for me than any Android version back when I was on Android. My Nexus 5 used to have a Google process spin out of control and kill the battery. An OS update rendered my Nexus 7 and Nexus 5 basically unusable because of performance (which I hear was eventually fixed). When the iPhone 6 came out, I said enough and went back Apple. I'm sure Android has improved since then, but so has iOS.

My point is that in the mobile landscape iOS and associated hardware, at least for me, work better than anything else out there.
Some of these orphans have been sent back: http://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2104016/orpha... because the fights are seen as child abuse by viewers which is also right. This is definitely a grey zone.
Im pretty sure it's the opposite direction. The economies of scale make it so cities have above and beyond more amenities than the suburbs ever could. Be it food, culture, access to jobs/networks, or even just the dating pool working remotely in a huge house in the middle of nowhere really can't provide a substitution.

Living isolated far away from civilization might be appealing to some, but I'd put money on the idea you're the minority. Growing up in the suburbs was a black mark on a generation and I think most of us aren't looking to subject our children to that. Aside from the space (which I'll never understand; who wants to have more shit to clean and maintain) I can't see any benefit to leaving the city.

I'm in favor of a more creeping push. For example, banning roadside billboards is a great idea, every city that's done it is happy with the results. (I've lived in a city where every major road was lined with billboards, ugh.) Or banning cigarette ads - in fact it's a boon to cigarette companies, because it curtails the spending arms race but doesn't shrink the market (the buyers are addicted anyway). Or blocking popups and popovers - if implemented consistently, it would help small businesses a lot, because they wouldn't have to plaster their website with crap to stay competitive.
I didn't "simply unilaterally declare" my point - I included a link to a video that provides a much better explanation than I can give in a short post.

> appointing you final judge of what peoples' motivations are.

I not claiming such authority. I'm a stranger on the side of the road who thought it would be a good idea to offer warn you the bridge you are about to9 drive over is unstable. You have the freedom to heed my warning and find another route, or you can ignore me and drive over the bridge. Maybe it's time to use Bayes' Theorem if you like that kind of inference?

> [general appeal to emotion using platitudes about free speech]

Is someone's speech being banned? Free speech does not mean you are guaranteed an audience.

This is a nice example of the reframing technique I was talking about. Nobody's speech is being restricted, but countering your points would mean arguing about the subtleties of free speech doctrine, instead of what my post was actually about: the current tactic of endlessly calling for "debate" that never actually becomes a debate.

No, I don't have a lot of evidence on hand at the moment. All I can offer right now is the conclusions from my firsthand observations of this technique over the last ~20 year. You have the freedom to use this information as you wish.
I'm on mobile and can't find great sources, but there's OECD statistics and it seems like global meat consumption per capita rises.

https://ensia.com/articles/these-maps-show-changes-in-global...

I first heard about it in Swedish statistics when all my friends were vegetarians or vegans and I really expected the trend to be reversing but Swedes were indeed eating significantly more meat (this was a few years ago).

From what I see in restaurants it seems obvious that meat eating is at no risk at all of declining except within a small enclave of virtuous herbivores.

And from what I understand of human nature, a juicy steak or burger is way more vividly satisfying than the idea of marginally improving the climate prognosis. It's like if sex turned out to be harmful to coral reefs—people would kill themselves rather than go celibate.
This will sound like a backwards argument but you saw what happen when the navy wasn't paying attention to the exit to the gulf by somolia. One can look at it as moving the price for gas to other locations (aka the navy via taxes). I'm placing no positives or negatives on it just stating it. In reality the economy is a massive set of levers or to put it in CS terms it's optimizing in a very large number of dimensions. The solution space is massive and there are many local minima which are no where near the global minima. However people love to argue about specific levers and bike shed the discussion based on the small windows they have into it.
Including the destabilization of Middle East for at least the last 20 years, to secure/favor US interest?

The US is a superpower that maintains its geopolitical order with the help of its military. Like any dominating nation before it, no argument there. But please stop justifying all this with good intents or universal values. The US does what it does to improve the life of its citizens, period (or at least a subset of its citizens).

Not 100% accurate - if you disable the "Auto Call" function, you don't have the alarm or timer. [1]

Turn off Auto Call

When Auto Call is on and you try to make an emergency call, your iPhone begins a countdown and sounds an alert. After the countdown ends, your iPhone automatically calls emergency services.

Here's how to change the setting:

Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Tap Emergency SOS, then turn Auto Call on or off.

If you turn off this setting, you can still use the Emergency SOS slider to make a call.

Starting apps is hardly a performance test, since a lot of the apps that are started actually seem to be loading network data before they display anything. So it seems to be indicating that the Note 8 outperforms the X on his network.

What would be interesting to investigate for somebody that likes to do a benchmark is how the download speeds are. Apple capped it's Qualcomm chips and Intel is just slower at the moment.
Most people aren't young. Raising children in a city is a nightmare.
Sounds reasonable, but in the context of the need for an urgent screeching halt to avoid global disaster, such legislation has only a slim chance of passing in the most "enlightened" districts, so it seems kind of useless to talk about.

I may seem pessimistic and indeed I am. But like other people do their part by encouraging people to consume less, I try to do my pathetic part by telling them to stop wasting time on hopeless utopian ideas.
