I was one of the maintainers (but not inventors) of Apple's autolayout. It's not at all true that "Mac or NeXT" (?) views were absolutely positioned: they used dynamic positioning via autoresizing, which started with a reference layout and then declaratively described how to modify it. This already is well beyond simple absolute layouts and is sufficient for many cases.

Autolayout takes this a step further by adding constraints and priorities for breaking them. This allows you to declaratively and naturally express tricky layouts like aspect ratios or preferred minimum sizes ("I'll have to truncate at...") which are typically special-cased in other layout engines.

Tooling around this stuff is challenging, but the architecture is leagues beyond the simple dynamic layout engines in other UI toolkits. iOS can't fully realize it (no resizable windows) but on the Mac it shines.

The key limitation is that you'd have to have proper ID.

Forging or getting a fake ID is harder than counterfeiting money (maybe accessible to organized crime, but certainly not worth the cost/effort/risk just to steal a few thousand dollars); lost/stolen IDs have a registry that all the banks check; and you have to show up in person so if detected you don't get a second chance, you're leaving the building in handcuffs.

Seriously, the only problem with IDs I recall from banking was the use of IDs bought off of homeless people to register shell companies for money laundering, but those were real IDs and usually with the real owner "hired" for the initial account opening.

Meaning the entirety of RBX is down too. How can they have a single point of conection to the outside world? This seems like a bad joke, not a company running hundreds of thousands of servers...

Edit: and now nearly all of their fiber network is down too. Great.

> There was one case of a man in his 60s. His wife died, and he wanted to order another copy of her. We provided that.

This was incredibly poignant to me.

Japanese society can be incredibly restrictive in its social circles; it's too simple for me to imagine a guy in his 60s with few friends, few opportunities to make more friends, and then his only friend and long-time partner dies. It's too easy to imagine how lost and desperate he might be, why he might want this kind of service to create a fake reality to live in.

Some people might read this and think "wow, twisted that people can sell this kind of thing in Japan," but as someone who's lived here for a while, I think "wow, twisted that Japanese society forces people to feel like they need this kind of thing."

I struggle to find any kind of up side to the fact that society enables this kind of service, or rather, that this kind of service is even made necessary. Does anyone else see one?

Edit: To go into a bit more detail, my problems with society enabling this kind of service are really:

1. Social expectations and pressure

2. Lack of mental health care/counseling/options and awareness
I used to think in similar paths too.

In general, yes, you should have your ID/passport on you, but there is no real punishment for not having it other than being required to later show up at a police station and/or being escorted by the policeman to your apartment/hotel to show your ID.

A bigger problem is usually not having a drivers license on you, that gets some of the people in the police riled up (but again, no real punishment as long as you show up later at the police station)
I think the problem here is that Google's tweet results actually have been shown to display a fairly high ratio of incorrect information at some particularly critical times. I don't know why you'd say "the ratio of correct to incorrect information seems unaffected" - clearly the number of people exposed to incorrect information would be lower if Google did not show those tweets?

That's not surprising since they're essentially scraping Twitter. I'm not arguing that people shouldn't have a voice, but perhaps leave it to Twitter to rank tweets until Google's SNR ratio is better. Twitter just have a lot more signals to rank their users' tweets by (and for instance better assess whether tweets are being promoted by a botnet/voting ring).

Of course not all black money is in cash. However, because of this move all assets which are known carriers of black money including real estate, gold etc. also took a hard hit. Additionally, the thinking is that people would be more careful dealing in cash going forward.

And I would abstain from using absolute stance like you are using. I think this move definitely falls into the grey territory.
I drive a lot professionally, and on a daily basis I have to fix someone else´s mistake, and on a daily basis someone else will fix a mistake I make. The errors made by humans are a very large factor (probably more than 90%) of the accidents that we are involved in. At the same time the vast majority of would be accidents get fixed by our flexibility.

It makes me wonder if a human were at the wheel of that shuttle if the accident would have been avoided or not, it is not 100% clear cut to me that this accident would have happened in that scenario as well.

At a guess self driving cars will work very well with other self driving cars because they are hopefully never making any mistakes in the first place. But for now they will have to share the roads with us fallible humans and if that causes accidents like these to be far more frequent then that too is some kind of failure.

It feels like everyday we get a new article either about how some company advertised on social media or how some algorithm worked exactly as intended. Only that there's some manufactured outrage attached to it. Starting to feel like the whole 'gamers'-issue a few years ago where suddenly it wasn't good enough to make a nice product that people wanted to play; you had to include moral messages or you were the reason why the world's going downhill. Just that now it's social media that needs a moral filter to prevent people from sharing bad news.

Needless to say, I don't think we need some moral-police in science and tech; so it's a little scary to see the push for it.

> Market fundamentals seem non existant here.

I think you are looking at the wrong market fundamentals.

People getting into bitcoin right now, buy because it can double their money in 6 months. They do not understand anything about Segwit2x.

They see news about bitcoin, look at the price again, and say "Damn, why didn't I buy it already?", and buy. That's your market fundamental right now. That is the value of bitcoin right now: "double your money in half a year".

I'm not saying bitcoin doesn't have any other value, or that it is overvalued right now.
Yes - basically everything about this move was bad but BJP is so politically skillful that not only they came out unscathed but continued winning!

And nice try on using NPAs as an argument. Not denying it could have been a factor but simply saying that was the reason the govt made such a big move vs. potential tax benefits & getting ppl to open more bank accounts seems ignorant.
At this point many competitors have an incentive to provoke this type of crash and make negative news. They can do it for very cheap relative to what's at stake, given that most of the damages will paid by insurance. It doesn't even matter who is at fault.

It's pretty hard to just up and make friends in Japan. People generally stick to social/activity circles, but even then, you have boundaries.

For example, if you have a golfing group, you guys may go out for drinks but that would be that. You'd almost (key word) never go over to someone else's house, or go see movies together, or any of that -- they're your "golf people."

But that's assuming that you do have a golf group or whatever. A large number of people just go through life with their friends from elementary, junior high, or high school... and then their friends from college. Then friends from the workplace, if you make any beyond the level of "drinks after work."

I know a lot of people who have "drinking friends" from various adult social circles, but their only "real" friends (in the Western sense of people you can chat to about almost anything, do almost anything with, etc.) are a tiny handful of people they've known since junior high or high school.

Loneliness is a huge problem in Japan.

But, that's correct, people shouldn't trust what they find on Google. There are plenty of topics you can search in Google and get mostly false claims in the top results.

Even if Google was perfect, the problem is that behavior is desirable sometimes for users. Most people searching about bigfoot probably want a bunch of bigfoot sightings or conspiracy theory stuff, not "no, there probably isn't a bigfoot".
It still ignores scarcity and arbitrarily picks one specific limiting resource in the production process as essential. Labor theory of value might be interesting from a philosophical standpoint but really has no practical application when it comes to understanding the market. And it introduces a major can of worms when it presumes stuff like intrinsic value.
Worse thing I've seen was an Instacart shopper at the Safeway on Market just slamming the groceries down out of her basket onto the self-checkout counter. Like fragile stuff, eggs, produce, etc. She was angry about something and taking it out on the buyers food. I felt like I was watching one of those babysitter abuse hidden camera videos. I use Instacart pretty regularly so this scared me a little.
I am not from England, I am from Austria.

Maybe it is one of the effects of losing two world wars (and beeing a neutral country), but I've never seen "support our troops" or something like that in person before.

There are some kind of army ads (I hardly see ads), some athletes are part of the army (so they earn some money and can train) and that's it in Austria.

For me there is a difference in showing an ad to "join the royal marine commando" and the expectation to partake in a "be part of the flag" / support our troops ceremony before I see a sports match.
But most likely I am just a little more sensitive than most in this regard.

> The problem isn't tech, it's people.

Can you imagine if, circa 1900, we had taken this attitude toward workers getting injured in factories? Blame the worker for allowing their arm to be crushed, rather than the machine for having no safe guards? If we'd gone that route, then industrial accidents would still be one of the leading causes of death, rather than the minor cause of death that it is now.

Of course, some business leaders did blame the workers, but leading companies, prodded by the government, looked to make safer procedures as well as safer machines. And so the accident rate came down dramatically.

What's happening right now with the tech companies is similar, though it is social in nature. Over the last 20 years people have allowed tech to play a central role in their lives, and they've learned this can have costs and benefits, and now they are looking for ways to reduce those costs. And the costs are social in nature, and the tech can be altered to reduce those costs.
You forgot to say "that's socialism"!11!
Parked cars are susceptible to the same type of accident, so if we worry about that, we're setting too high a standard for the driverless car

Infants!! Reminds me of a Jim Carrey movie - The Truman Show.
No, not really. I've read that in USA it's somewhat common for people to possess fake IDs e.g. for students for age-verification purposes; but in EU forged IDs are serious business - it's really hard to make a somewhat passable forgery, it's harder than counterfeiting currency, so unless you've got contacts with organized crime (e.g. your local drug dealer doesn't have such access) you're not going to find anyone willing to make you such an ID, and if you do, it's likely a police sting operation. Getting a fake ID gives limited benefits and means jailtime even if you don't attempt to use it (fraud charges would be extra), there's not much demand among "normal people" for it (unlike e.g. drugs), so there's not a flowing market that would make such a purchase trivial.

Also, even if you could get one, it's going to cost thousands, so it's not worth it for mass scamming. Also, you'd have to show up in person and risk immediate arrest if the forgery gets detected.
Yes, there is bad information on the Internet. Yes, when you aggregate tons of user content some inaccurate things will be there. Go somewhere else BBC, NYT, WaPo. We know, you'd like to see a content regulated Internet. I wouldn't and I'm weary of seeing these articles day in and day out.

Beside why are articles from newspaper on HN front page so much lately?

From HN guidelines: Off-Topic: "Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon....... If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

This self serving media policy seeking doesn't belong here IMOP. It's not interesting, it's not informative. Shouldn't be constantly on front page day after day.
How to Implement “Is Typing” Feature in Ionic Chat App
It has nothing to do with ISIS…

The FBI tried to access the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone 5c but because they screwed up by trying to access the phone on a wi-fi network it hadn't ever been on, they put themselves in a position of having the iPhone erased after a certain number of incorrect password attempts.

The FBI wanted Apple to create a special version of iOS they could load on the phone to bypass the auto erase feature and Apple refused.

Apple didn't say they could access the Texas shooter's iPhone; only that they could possibly provide some assistance. It would depend on the model and whether or not encryption was enabled, something we currently don't know.

Apple, like most tech companies, routinely works with law enforcement; we don't hear about it unless it's a mass shooting that gets nationwide attention.

Bottom line: if the phone is encrypted and certain other features are enabled, there's nothing Apple can do.

You can read all about it at https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf

Me? I don't need that. HOWEVER, I can understand why someone else might.

Mostly these cases revolve around implementing something in program instead of with basic standard features. Some standards even recognize that more complex decisions need to be made and allow for 'shaders' that determine the outcome instead of basic operations.

Providing low level primitives in a responsible interface allows for the corner cases to be approached with nuance and care instead of glaring presence of omission.
