Apple has been aggressively branding as the company that does not need to sell your data because their margins on hardware allow them to.

It might not always be the case but they can future-proof that claim by keeping that data on your device or protect it using differential privacy.

What might happen if health plans become habitually based on tracking (which I expect will be the case) is that having an Apple watch (or nothing) will be considered suspicious and charged a premium.

Take a look what Chinese do, and their logic:

Making manufacturing business is HARD, harder, or many times harder than a yet another online service.

Growing and scaling such business is also hard, and it does not scale much downward as such (you have to fire workers, and they riot on you, storm your apartment and beat you and your familiy.)

The business is noticeably seasonal and have sharp highs and lows when it comes to consumer goods.

"The next big thing" opportunity like phones and tablets are come and go, they last a maximum of 2 "feast" years.

There are "cash crop" type products like battery banks, chargers, usb flash sticks. It makes profit all the time, but it's not that high.

In between big contracts, or when the factory is busy making products for itself in a feast year, factory owner do not shed capacity, but switch most of if to cash crop product

Then he puts together most talented engineers and gives them task to invent random stuff, and do trial run manufacturing.

Instead of setting up a brand around these new products, they are unceremoniously dumped to trade agents.

If agents will be placing a lot of repeating orders, then, more consideration will be given to such product.

That is "the complicated Chinese strategy" in 9 sentences.
> It is not a tangent. The source is unreliable.

The source is the National Bureau of Economic Research. NBER is not unreliable.

> "Researchers" say this. "Researchers" say that.

Scientists often disagree with each other or with previous scientists as more data and tools become available. I'm not sure why that makes you so angry?

> "Note: Working papers have not been peer-reviewed or been subject to review by the NBER Board of Directors that accompanies official NBER publications."

This is standard boiler plate for every NBER working paper. If you don't read a lot of NBER papers it is understandable that you think it signifies more than it actually does. This was a conference paper presented at 3 different conferences.

The paper isn't just about Germany. It is uses a variety of data sources to investigate look at the cross-country evidence from 21 countries. They perform a series of regressions on the data.

Germany vs. US is presented as a case study. The research paper acknowledges all of the things that you think they are too dumb to notice.

They also present Thailand vs. Vietnam as a case study.

I generally find that it helps to actually read the underlying research before criticizing it.

Well, I for one did a 3-year digital media / game development degree, but the bulk of our learning (programming, maths, foundations of game- and web-development and multi-media) was done with after the first year.

The rest was far more focused on project management, 'self-management', scientific writing and project work.

I wouldn't say you could replace all of that with a one-year degree, but you surely could offer a foundation course after which people are capable to go into industry and work on their practical skills. I guess that's kind of what these 'coding boot camps' are doing now (I don't really know much about them).
Mammal brains identify type of scent faster than once thought
Thanks! I agreed with the intuition around spatial downsampling.

I was thinking that the next layer in the network would respond to multiple samples (i.e. convolutions of the Gaussian at different positions) and, as long as you didn't have too many active neurons on the previous layer, it could extract a measure of position.

If you have too many active neurons then, as you say, you encounter aliasing effects, but I think the same is true with capsule networks - they're not expected to handle particularly high-frequency features, are they?

Either way, thanks for your comment!

No government is your friend, don't be outraged, consider them as lowest of the scum that rule by power and fear, that is it. Life makes more sense then.
However, a large number of people on HN are software engineers who make their living writing software for these devices; it would seem like a crowd that loves tech like React “Native” might consider the latest devices somewhat important to their business. If developers are running old devices and old OSes, then it follows that they aren’t developing around the latest capabilities because they themselves don’t use the latest capabilities. For a “progressive” crowd, it sure seems like there are quite a few reactionaries.

This “keep my older device” argument makes perfect sense if you are an end-consumer but it makes no sense if your business is building software. Software developers ought to consider it a minimum requirement to be on the cutting edge. We should be leading the way and not doggedly hanging on to older tech.

If we were house painters, then running a 5 year old device makes no difference, but if we are supposed to be building the future, it’s illogical to be obsessed, almost to a hipster-degree with running outdated equipment.

That's a cynical and paranoid mindset. Bloat is a lazy tendency not a malicious evil and developers tend to optimise for the latest and greatest if left unchecked and forced to consider backwards compatibility.

As a user, do I care whether my phone is unusable because the developers wanted specifically to render older hardware unusable or whether it was just through their negligence in failing to consider older devices? Stupidity or malice, the result is the same.

lets just say don't do any financial transactions on the device or appreciate the general openness of your phone to malicious actors who might use it for nefarious purposes.

I keep hearing this, but what's the actual presence of malware on Android? If you're not installing shady apps from the Play Store, what's your actual level of risk? Android, even old versions of Android, are far harder to reliably exploit than say, unpatched Windows. As long as you're not installing free-to-play flashlight apps that require every permission under the sun, I'd say your exposure to malware on Android is far less than it is on PC. For the average user, they're still probably better off conducting financial transactions on their phone than conducting those same transactions on their malware ridden laptops.
I understand not having a debate program at your school before a university level.

What I do not understand is how you could be completely ignorant of the idea of "debates". There are thousands of videos on YouTube of debates. How can you understand the definition of the word debate and not realize that people have debates?

To me, that's like saying "I didn't know science fairs were a thing". Sure, I can understand how many (most?) people have probably not participated in a science fair themselves, although I made my initial comment aware that this is Hacker News and it's a slightly different group of people than the population at large. I do not understand the level of myopia that would be required to not even realize they exist.

One thing that has really opened my mind on this is Amazon Home Services. Basically, if you're incorporated, insured, and can provide a few references proving you do decent work, Amazon will shovel business your way. And you can limit the services you provide. For example, one of the services you can buy on Amazon Home Services is "Door knob replacement." This is a VERY low level skill that requires only the most basic tools. The price in my zip code is $77. Amazon takes 20% off the top, so your business makes $61. By the time you include travel time, fuel, etc, you're probably making $20-30/hr doing ENTRY LEVEL labor.

And there's a ton of services you can offer through the AHS portal: home theatre setup, house cleaning, lawn maintenance, plumbing, computer repair, electrical etc.

I feel like there is a huge difference in the capabilities of the Apple Watch and the Nokia Steel. The Steel has a motion sensor, accelerometer, bluetooth and maybe wifi? The Apple Watch, needless to say, has a lot more than that: GPS, GSM, wifi, bluetooth, heart rate sensor, accelerometer, light sensor, etc. I'm sure the Nokia Steel fills a niche but I feel like the Apple Watch is much more interesting from a capabilities standpoint.

The cargo cult of versioning – summary notes - WIP RFC
http://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/versioning

The recent article about "the cargo cult of versioning" generated lots of discussion among developers and debate.

to be fair to him every administration funds extremist rebels to get rid of dictators they don't like, a stable enemy is worse for the usa than an unstable one.

the fundamentalist interpretation of the quran is abused by the west, they know they can get better motivated rebels by funding the crazies, when the next dictator has stopped singing from the hymn sheet the situation has calmed enough for that regime to no longer be the crazies and they can find more in some backwater.
They also set up and funded VW which counters most of your arguments and also having to start from scratch meant that instead of using old machine tools the marshal plan helped retool germany

For this project like for self-driving cars, I believe that releasing machine-learning early in the wild “too early” has a dynamic benefit: we learn earlier and the bump in misdiagnostics pays for better diagnostic down the line.

To argue that, you need an estimate of the rate of progress with and without a deployment which I would assume is not a stretch.
I already thought about P2P netcode, and I think its great. It should scale much better, game servers are much smaller and requires much less bandwidth, and you don't risk of having a bad customer experience if your servers are poorly managed or go down.

So it's better for games where you have a large amount of players and where latency is less of an issue. I would not have implemented a p2p netcode in a fps, as long as the game pace and speed is slow enough.

And it doesn't mean you can't accelerate the game by enabling game servers in places where you want the game to be smooth, like sessions with more players.

> That's not true, as the Linux kernel is still GPLv2. So while you could swap out the userspace GNU utils, the device manufacturer can still lock the bootloader which is perfectly fine with the GPLv2.

Yeah, probably. But the presence of packages like GNU libc can make it harder for the manufacturer to lock the device.

> ... kernel version due to proprietary binary blobs which nearly every phone uses.

Sadly, binary blobs are always an issue. In the case of Linux, this happened because many Linux developers don't care about binary blobs. If they did, you won't see any binary blobs (as it is a violation of GNU GPL).

> ... with complete open source drivers

My main point was to quote that 'open source' doesn't solve these issues. We should take software freedom more seriously.

> ... (or a GPLv3 kernel).

I wish we will not have to wait until the human civilization end in fire to see this.
Battery life has come a long way since the original Apple Watch (which I had to charge every night). With the Series 2 I only use about 15-20% of the battery during the day and can charge it back up to 100% in the time between getting into bed and going to sleep.

Mmmh… The watch tells you to meditate and can even help you do it.

It’s less about “listening to your body” than remind you regularly about obvious things. Some people (like me) can focus quite easily (which is great to write code) but can get lost in their task. I know that I regularly realise that the sun is up when I keep on coding after dinner. That’s eight to ten hours that have gone by without me moving an inch. Having a reminder to go to bed has helped.

Java applets 2.0, we are back to square one, yet again.

People don't learn. The web dev community have just managed to force browsermakers to unify web development on browser side JS, and throw Java applets, activex, and action script to the bucket, just to have a kind of JVM being made a part of the web standard, and forced upon us yet again.
Unfortunately SIMD is still not supported on any browsers and with the move away from SIMD.js it looks like this might take a while.

We've been working on porting over our fairly large barcode scanner library to WebAssembly. While the performance is close to what we have on other platforms ( http://websdk.scandit.com ), the major bottleneck for now is not being able to use optimized code relying on SIMD (and not having an existing C fallback as all other platforms we target have SIMD support)

It's a pared down cheat sheet that covers most of what I need day-to-day.
All it takes is a non-american (non-western?) society. As a South African we don't have science fairs - at least not in the same way that I understand America does them. In school there are no science "competitions", and the closest that we ever got was doing an experiment as a class. The only reason I'm familiar with them is through American media, and to be honest they're still a bit of a weird concept that I'm not sure I fully understand.

As to debates, I've come across several debating clubs and public speaking clubs, however when I think of "debate" I think of American elections with politicians on a stage with podiums - we don't really have that here, especially between parties.
