Yes, of course it's mostly speculation.

But it's funny for someone on HN to be characterizing what I mentioned as "niche market". I mean, what more than capital, servers and consultants does one need for a startup?
Hitler personally controlling movement of units on the eastern front, causing massive traffic jams and misallocations of fuel was clearly an execution issue.

But much of what I wrote above was also an execution issue. Making oil fields a number one priority was an obviously correct decision for the army generals. Not being allowed to do it because of diverted resources was an execution issue.
Ask HN: What's going on with Apple?
Last week there's been a stream of Apple's fiascos.
First, there was a "root" access bug, which, to Apple's credit, was fixed with in a day.
Then today, Dec 2, they released an update to IOS which was supposed to fix iPhone randomly rebooting after Dec 2.
Finally, after upgrading the IOS to 11.2 this morning, XCode refuses to run the app I'm currently developing on my IOS device, saying that the current version of IOS installed on my iPhone is not supported by current version of XCode.

It's a separate topic, but, while typing this message on my new MPB, my keybobard randomly produces keystrokes for letter "bb". I'm really getting tired of removing extra "b"s, and, since I'm actively using my machine and can not afford to turn it in for repair for few days, I'm kind of screwed.
I just wish, Apple would start being good old company we used to love and rely upon.

Apple? Is it time to start making changes in your QA department?
It's worse. They realize it, but don't care. Or rather, this is a cool project where we get to transcribe voice in real time.

Man, sometimes I feel like the Kennedys are America's most hypocritical family.

The vast majority of which don't need, and hence don't effectively utilize a Ph.D.

Most of those jobs can be performed as well, if not better, by people with an undergrad degree, possibly with a master's tacked on + equiv number of years on the job for experience as opposed to the Ph.D.
The government works for the people, not the other way around. It has to follow basic rules of fairness, including making reasonable efforts to contact owners it already has names and addresses of before taking their property. The fact that anyone today believes otherwise is just a signal we are getting closer to needing our government to be replaced.
Russia has big empty spaces. The Middle East isn't very far away with modern technology.
The EU was created as a democratic institution, it's not strange at all to protest its laws, how they're implemented, or how they're followed.
I'm pretty sure the fundamental difference between trade secrets and a patent is that if someone else comes up with it independently, or if you tell someone what it is, a patent protects you and a trade secret doesn't.
He could plausibly mean "progressive causes" like making sure that people are not unlawfully prevented from voting. I'd surely ask him if I lived there, though.
Drivers should be licensed because they're operating a vehicle on shared public property. That's not the same as creating a gatekeeper that imposes a blanket ban on entire categories of private voluntary exchange (e.g. selling alcohol) that are only lifted on a case-by-case basis if one is approved by that gatekeeper.

>>Requiring a higher standard for risky stuff is how we handle everything.

Not really. There are no laws restricting high-risk sexual practices. In the civil sphere, we correctly recognize that individual liberty trumps the personal risk and even public risk posed by risky actions.

It's only in the economic sphere where we restrict private exchanges, and that's because rejecting economic liberty is a necessary precursor to taxing the public and creating regulatory moats to protect industry incumbents from competition.
Given that he states he's instituting Taco Tuesday as one of his first acts, I'd suspect people are getting the vapors over a trivial joking statement.

I'd also imagine the powers of an election judge are pretty limited. It sounds like they're the Philly equivalent of the person who runs an individual polling place in NY. Not much wiggle room for causes of any sort.

It died at the hands of The Kennedys and the Kochs. An unholy alliance of progressives and conservatives sunk the project. Here we see that energy policy trumps politics when it comes into conflict with people's personal interests.

I'm off to the pub to buy a beer this very second, on this rainy sunday afternoon. And I'll be using my bitcoin debit card to buy them. I can buy about twice as many as I would otherwise be able to, given the value of bitcoin increasing since the money was placed into my bitcoin account.

You should try it. It works really well. And beer is delicious.
I think the difference is that these problems are magnified in the press but are still rather rare. It is first hand experience that breaks the pavlovian cycle.

Americans started buying Japanese cars because so many of them had direct poor experiences with American quality in the 70's to 90's.

I always think about A Confederacy of Dunces. It's a great book that had a hard and somewhat tragic road to getting published. Then it won a Pulitzer Prize.

In some jurisdictions in the United States, coroners are elected officials who needn't have any medical training at all.
Indeed, plus it's in our best interests to get involved in local govt. because our voices are much easier to hear at that level. At the federal level, your vote is competing against 300 million other citizens (assuming they all vote, which isn't the case). If you're considering a town of 30k, voicing your opinions and making meaningful change is much more realistic.

Heck, the town supervisor from my hometown lived on the street right behind us. Growing up, it would be possible to hop across the fence in the backyard and be in his yard. Talk about access to your representatives.

Too much emphasis is being placed on the federal govt., which I believe is a terrible trend for all of us Americans. Trump made a huge wave of anger after withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, but there is nothing stopping my home state from making their own ad-hoc agreement (of course, states do not have authority to engage in international diplomacy, but I'm speaking about the principle of, say, NYS committing itself to a zero-carbon emission pledge within XX years, and setting goals for all the towns and cities to help contribute).
The wording "does not necessarily endorse" is common language for a generic link that could be going to something do endorse or could be going to something they don't endorse. This means that people who want to add a link to an external resource don't have to stop and get their internal lawyers to decide whether that is an endorsed reference or not.

Apparently, on top of all that, MacOS Update Accidentally Undoes Apple's “root” Bug Patch.
It is hard to outsource reports and mobile applications because setting up a sandboxes version of the database and APIs in order to protect sensitive data from vendors becomes harder as your system grows.

There is also the fact that they will need the same level of expertise with the database as you have and that already takes months each time we get a new recruit in the team.

It will just be impractical to hand over all the knowledge and the experience working with a MLOC ERP, so we write our own apps and reports.
They are probably assuming that you were given the information with the knowledge it was a trade secret even if you didn't sign anything specific about keeping it secret, not that you invented it separately.

If you have data that matters, it needs dual controls. The idea that a company would place PII on a site publicly accessible and protected only by ACL is ridiculous.

Instead of futzing with machine learning, use network or crypto controls to prevent access, and have a different chain of command manage that access in your company.
The outcome of all that is that even insignificant people like you know that it happened and upset people. The alternative of protests that never happened certainly don't have your (or anybody else's) attention in nearly the same way, obviously.
You've not supported your conclusion that we "need" a non-human baby factory with any actual argument or facts.

Some Democrats use every trick in the book too:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/29/obamas.first.campaign...

In his first race for office, seeking a state Senate seat on Chicago's gritty South Side in 1996, Obama effectively used election rules to eliminate his Democratic competition.

As a community organizer, he had helped register thousands of voters. But when it came time to run for office, he employed Chicago rules to invalidate the voting petition signatures of three of his challengers.

The move denied each of them, including incumbent Alice Palmer, a longtime Chicago activist, a place on the ballot. It cleared the way for Obama to run unopposed on the Democratic ticket in a heavily Democrat district.

Sorry, I think my post was not very clear.

macOS High Sierra 10.13.0 was released on 2017-09-25. Sierra (10.12 and El Capitan (10.11) were not patched on that day. So if you didn't upgrade to 10.13.0 _on the first day of its availability_, you were missing out on these security fixes: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT208144

Apple only released patches for 10.12 and 10.11 along with 10.13.1, more than a month later (2017-10-31): https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT208221

The same pattern happened when 10.12.0 was released - older systems only started receiving security fixes on the day 10.12.1 was released.

So it is generally true that Apple keeps the three most recent versions of macOS secure, but there's always this awkward gap around September where they don't.
If Apple was able to realize their R&D value income taxes in France rather than the USA on all French sales, they would probably pay less, not more, than what they are now.

At anyrate, value is well defined across the world. If it was define the way you want, the countries would see all their exporters as freeloaders, not paying for the infrastructure that is realizing their profit. Heck, places like Switzerland and Singapore wouldn’t be able to survive.
I am actually a Swedish citizen and I'm happy we still go partiallly by Keynes and not Friedman. So the taxes I'm paying I'm happy goes partially towards the betterment of all of humanity.

Neural vs. Computer Networks in Digital Art
Boomers may feel some pain though when Medicare and social security are cut next. All signs point to the GOP suddenly crying about the deficit now.
The TL;DR seems to be: social networks, computer networks, neural networks, and patterns of language all exhibit a “small world” architecture - an organic in-between of randomness and order, the unique mesh structure that lets any two nodes connect in only a few hops (the “six degrees of separation” concept) and retains stability/function as arbitrary nodes are inserted/removed. This universal structure has evolutionary purpose - the interplay between what we are, what we create, and what we experience isn’t coincidental.

The article references several art projects that deal with these topics, especially applications in AI. The website is dedicated to “neuroaesthetics” - which is apparently a field that studies the neurological basis for creating and consuming art.
Even the richest universities still have to contend with finite limits on income from the endowment. And the bill adds a tax on that, as well.
I think in this case it's mostly because of groupthink and respect for authority. Many Chinese probably think "This doesn't seem right, but I don't understand politics and the people in charge have decades of experience, so I'm sure they do the right thing". And because of the seniority system the people in charge are often very old and have formed their value system during the tumultuous and poor Mao Zedong era.
Individuals naturally make choices, including when there are just bad options. The point of social safety nets is to make sure that there will be a good option, which would then make it a choice between a good option and several bad ones, which arguable make it to no longer be a choice.

Talking about choices when all options are bad sounds like the wrong word. Naturally choosing the best option is good, but a bad option is still bad. Similarly talking about being empowered to pick the best option between an multitude of bad options sounds wrong. It might be correct when talking about a individual person, and from the sound of your comment it sounds like you made decisions based on your own values even when it cost you a place to stay, and that is strong.
Normalization of deviance in software: broken practices become standard (2015)

You might be surprised to learn that there is a whole segment of the population who view bringing new lives into the world as a sacred undertaking. Some women of this persuasion consider growing a new person inside of themselves to be the highest calling. Also, pregnancy and childbirth can be incredibly fulfilling experiences, for both parents. After all, modern life doesn’t have many rights of passage on the same level.

Spending extended amounts of time in zero gravity has profound effects on the human body, most of them negative. Pregnancy is already very tough, and we know literally nothing about the additional challenges associated with it (and with childbirth) in a zero G environment, or on another planet.

From this perspective, there may be some merit to the parent poster's argument that human "factories" may be less risky for everyone involved, since it might be easier to control the conditions.
Maybe they meant the specific drive to carry a child, which, in my experience, not all women possess, even if they possess other drives that lead to successfully promulgating the next generation.
I'm under the assumption that, for some reason, the rush and all things surrounding iPhone X caused QA to only happen a bit, and only on the newest devices (I have an iPhone 6S and an iPhone X, and the 6S is noticeably slower in a lot of cases, for example having to wait half to one second to type on the keyboard). I'm giving Apple a general benefit of the doubt and think that iOS 12 will be better since there shouldn't be any major paradigm shifts in the next series of phones, but it is a really bad image to see Apple not able to effectively QA these relatively simple bugs (how did they miss the notification issue? Is all testing done by hand?)
Could someone provide some background on this?

Its not that Apple doesn't care. The over-optimized consumption culture that props up an Apple does not care. We are way past the point of no return. Might as well be standing in front of a giant redwood and yelling at it to change direction.
woot- glad you like it so far. Any actionable feedback greatly appreciated.
It means the activity of the class (lectures, homework, exams) is to compute numeric and algebraic solutions according to the methods and procedures you're taught. The outcome of a class is generally that you're able to solve a new kind of equation.

This describes 99% of the math that most Americans (including engineering students) who are not math majors will ever encounter. Proofs may be presented as curiosities, and students may even be quizzed on them, but students would not be expected to come up with proofs they haven't seen before.
What do copyright, trademark and patents have to do with trade secrets?
You accuse the op about not knowing anything about trade secrets then you proceed to talk about things that aren't related to trade secrets.
Trade secrets aren't protected by copyright, as something needs to be published, therefore no longer a secret, to be copyrighted. Trademarks, well they just aren't a secret.
Patents are the opposite of a trade secret. With a parent you publish your secret for the guarantee of a monopoly on it for a certain period of time. A trade secret can be kept forever if you keep it a secret.
Trade secrets do have protections, but you have to actively maintain the secret.
There is always an expert safety driver ready to take over.

You can operate an unreliable system (randomly reacting late 0.1% of the time because of a hiccup in C++'s standard library memory allocator, say, or encountering an unhandled scenario 0.1% of the time) as long as there's a guy to take over immediately.

But you can't ship that in the real world.
Right. Exactly. They'll have to change the law so that it does care about personal bitcoin wallets.
Key-based cryptography falls apart once you have a manual component to it. Let's say hypothetically I have an ID card containing my keys -- how do I use it to pay a bill online?
Why are they the worst? Without directly refuting your comment, it's hard to believe that Apple hired the worst programmers at your company, without knowing why you think they are worst.
It's a result of the Granger movement, which eventually led into the Progressive movement. They were incensed at the corruption in politics, particularly in non-elected positions, and campaigned hard for getting strong electoral oversight over everything from senators to state Supreme Court justices to soil and water conservation district manager.
"that makes him smart"
Is it a paradox then? At 100% ubiquity you couldn’t satisfy the criteria.
> If Apple was able to realize their R&D value income taxes in France rather than the USA on all French sales, they would probably pay less, not more, than what they are now.

Tax breaks are on R&D, not sales and Apple does not have any R&D in France so I don't follow you...

> At anyrate, value is well defined across the world.

There's no common tax laws across the world so this does not seem to be true.
I'm skipping this generation unless I see some compelling reason to upgrade, so I don't know which the best is, but it's hard not to know the worst quality if you're not blinded by fanboyism, with Samsung's consistency in this area and Apple's recent strong showing. Despite always lagging in usefulness, Apple used to have quality control down.
I highly recommend visiting the museum if you are in Corning (or passing through). They put on master classes of glass blowing which are great.
A recommendation to what end? Pseudo subject matter experts?
Just to elaborate on other comments: an "advance" is short for an "advance on royalties".

So if the total royalties are less than the advance (pretty common BTW), they are said to have not "eaten out the advance" - and you don't get any more. If the royalties are greater, then you get them minus the advance (i.e. the royalties you already got).
