The majority of creeps who've been outed recently have admitted wrongdoing (post outing of course). This is largely to mitigate the damage and diminish the outrage; hoping that something or someone steals the spotlight. And some of the more egregious creeps completely deny despite overwhelming evidence and claims. This is also to be expected since they have nothing to lose.

The third response is to deny a limited claim. Someone like Jeremy Piven comes to mind. He steadfastly denies the charge against him.

I think it's reasonable to assume that some of the charges are fraudulent; people are human and prone to the human condition. But when there's a preponderance of evidence, it's pretty easy to tell who's being disingenuous.

Check out the Gun Control Act of 1968 which was greatly shaped by the NRA (cut down from a stricter version, but they were OK with banning gun ownership by felons), the Mulford Act which prohibited carrying loaded weapons in public in California and passed with bipartisan support (signed into law by none other than Ronald Reagan), and the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons ban (which didn't have Republican support in Congress but did have support from both Reagan and Gerald Ford).

If you have an iPhone, an Apple Watch meets your description perfectly.

You can also write apps for the watch directly, and there is a non-LTE model.
Ask HN: Some examples of parallel but not concurrent processing
Lately I've been studying the different async workflows and the most confusing bit (so far) is the difference between concurrent execution and parallel execution.

I have examples for concurrent-not-parallel, like single threaded processes or a multi-threaded program on a single thread processor.

What I cannot find are examples of scenarios where the execution is parallel, but not concurrent. TBH, it seems impossible (so far).

Wikipedia did give me one - Bit-level parallelism[1]. But that topic is a bit out of reach for me (again, so far).

Can anyone give me a more simple parallel-not-concurrent execution scenario?

First, not every accusation brought up is necessarily criminal, but could open the company to civil liability or just point out people the company considers toxic. Second, I don't think anyone has been fired off of a single non-criminal accusation. The ones I have seen all have multiple accusers and corroboration.

As an aside, I am a bit concerned how many of the accusations are being lumped together. A boss hitting on a subordinate is very different than a forcible rape. Both are wrong and should be addressed, but grouping them together lessens the seriousness of the later IMO.
It could also backfire and show that the only people worth reporting on are those at the top, since that’s all we hear about.
Amazfit Pace [1]

I just bought one for ~£80 from Gearbest and you can pull the GPX routes from it, and also add routes. You can access all of the files, by plugging a USB lead into the charging dock. It then appears as a USB drive that you can copy files to and from. I've designed my own watch face, as it's just XML and image files and taken GPX data. I'm not sure how or if you can get the heartrate or pedometer data but there is a community on XDA [2] around it so they might be able to help.

The thing that I'm most impressed by is the screen. It is a transreflective display which means that it is always on and just uses the latent light for you to be able to see it, much like a black and white LCD. It does have a backlight, but you only need to put this on when it is dark and you actually need to see the display - much like watches used to be.

> having a child is for the parents, not the child.

It's beyond me how you can even write such a statement. Children are not things. They are not property. They are not "for" anything.

Children are human. They are independent individuals. You can't own them, you can't abuse them, you can't ruin their lives just because you once decided to have unprotected sex.

> its sad that people have forgotten that.

That's like saying that it's sad that people forgot how natural and beneficial slavery is. With a mindset like that, I'd say that even a dog would be too big a responsibility. Get a Roomba instead. At least it won't suffer because of you.

I want to like perl6, I really do. The language has some simply great features. I agree with the parent, this seems like a terrible way to get people new into the language.

I do a fair amount of perl5 script maintenance, so am familiar with the language.
Advents calendars are daily small chunks, an Ideal way to introduce the language but they turned this into a "look how clever" our language is post, which to me is "wow this is hard to read and maintain."

Lamentably these examples don't give me hope that Perl6 is going to be any better at being maintained.
You can use org-mode and EasyPG Assistant:

The Leary/Wilson Paradigm
If you look in the password and security menu in iCloud settings, there's an option to set a recovery key: "Using a recovery key increases the security of your account. When you create one, the only way to reset your password [emphasis mine] is by using another device [edit: emphasis mine] already signed in with your Apple ID or by entering your recovery key."

I can find no mention of this feature in the article. It would seem that it would mitigate the core problem described by preventing someone in possession of your phone and passcode (but not the recovery key) from taking over your iCloud account.

>A non-fluent Hebrew speaker would not even be able to tell the difference between the modern and biblical.

As a non-fluent Hebrew speaker who took ~10 years of Hebrew classes as a kid, this seems totally untrue.

Biblical Hebrew is intensely weird. It doesn't use the same word order (VSO vs. modern SVO). There are differences in grammatical system that, if you don't know about them, make it look like past and future tense are reversed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waw-consecutive). The vocabulary is more limited but the words get used in a wider range of meanings.

Random example, Genesis 2:15:

וַיִּקַּח יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים, אֶת-הָאָדָם; וַיַּנִּחֵהוּ בְגַן-עֵדֶן, לְעָבְדָהּ וּלְשָׁמְרָהּ.

If you wrote in anything resembling this style it would be only to make allusion to the Bible.
The point of the stock isn't selling it for cash, it's having a share in the profits and more importantly voting rights at the company level. Are plenty of people "happy" being wage labor? Maybe.

Start a business... I've thought about it. If only it were so easy. Even if I did, that solves the problem for me, but not anyone else.
Some people have hacked the fitbit's synching to save to your personal computer instead of to their servers. I haven't done it since I went with the FitBit Ionic, and it auto syncs. I do like how easy it is to make apps for it though.

> The world was beyond the emacs era and into the GUI editor

Emacs is a GUI editor (e.g. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5a/Emacs-sc...), and the world still hasn't progressed beyond it. I'd love to be using something better than emacs, because it really is old & crufty, but literally no other environment is as powerful, as extensible and as pleasant to use.

The conjecture that you can easily take down someone with a false accusation is disproven by the fact that every single case I've heard of has involved multiple accusers, photographic evidence, and/or admissions by the perpetrators.

It's widely reported that, for example, the Washington Post ran an in-depth investigation into one accuser of Roy Moore, and found out she was lying to discredit their reporting. They did this due diligence even after every sane person was already convinced that Roy Moore was a creep. So, presumably, they would have had more reason to believe her than anyone accusing someone previously not connected to such allegations.
But it does do something for this:

To be honest, I read the whole article from the parent, which got my thinking about my grandparents because this topic's been on my mind. Then I just started typing and didn't really have a plan of where it'd end up.

We honestly don't really make much money on the whole project because the margins are razor thing. It's not software and there's a physical product that needs to be mailed, which costs a lot. We could jack up the price, but that would make it less affordable for most people.

The real goal is to just do some good in the world and connect more families with their elders. Yes, will admit there's some gross margin, but it doesn't even cover server expenses, needed software, etc. Been funding it on my credit card.

It depends on how willing you are to live below your means, and below what your peers in other regions have. The programmers I know outside the Bay Area (or NYC) own houses with yards that have plenty of room for kids. Even relatively young ones.

The court of public opinion is usually a last resort. Generally the accusers don't want to go public - after all, then their name is attached to the thing forever too. And they get a lot of abuse as a result too.

If you don't want this stuff dealt with in public, the procedures for dealing with it in private have to work. And hitherto they generally haven't.
> So what’s actually changed other than not having to go through the whole iCloud Backup/Wipe/Restore in order to reset the iTunes Backup Password?

Prior to iOS 11, to get access to a backup of an iDevice (and that backup allows you to view all data on the device, keychain etc):

1) iCloud Backup
2) Wipe
3) Restore [requires iCloud password]
4) Perform iTunes Backup

Now under iOS 11 it's (according to the article):

1) Reset Settings [requires pin code]
2) Perform iTunes Backup

So the difference is that now you don't need the iCloud password.

For what it's worth, Japanese kanji are much more difficult than Chinese hanzi. Kanji each have at least 2 and often up to 4 or 5 different readings in different situations, and can be combined in different ways (with hiragana to make 訓読み and with other kanji to make 熟語).

Everyone ignored the most important part of your question, which is "Why should Uber have disclosed this letter to Waymo?"

They should have because in a civil case like this there is a property called discovery where each side gets to request certain information from the other side. And the other side is required to give it or argue it's outside the bounds of what they can request to the judge, who will decide. In this case Uber had already legally agreed/been ordered to give Waymo all documents in categories this letter clearly falls under, in various ways. For instance one of the more damning given what we know about the letter would be "All DOCUMENTS REGARDING DEFENDANTS’ policies regarding employees’ use of personal computers or other devices while working at or for DEFENDANTS."

A lot is still redacted from the public, but you can see more details on page 7 of their brief: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.308136...

I say this is the most important part of your question, because this is the one area where Uber pretty much unquestionably, intentionally broke the law. Regardless of whether or the allegations in the letter are true, it was a document that they were legally required to turn over but didn't. The head council explicitly made the decision to turn it over to the US attorney and not Waymo so it's not even plausible they missed it.

(I am not a lawyer)
