I loved that gesture, but I was shocked how many of my friends/coworkers didn't know about it. I think the iPhone X up and over arc is more reliable to trigger(once you figure out not to do up and hold).
Where's the playback speed control? I didn't see it.

I've had no trouble taking cabs and ubers to and from the bronx at least a dozen of times (and in particular the south bronx) at all hours of the night and all days of the week. A few times it was an uber pool that had other riders in it (meaning they managed to find a cab too).
I think that this can be a fundamental shift for the iPhone and iOS without being a paradigm shift that puts apple years ahead of the competition. I also didn't pick up an implication that this puts iOS years ahead of android while reading the article.

My friend Nexus 5 had the same shitty performance in the same timeframe and then I realised that he never used an iphone and for him that sluggish performance was normal and he never noticed that he had a problem.
Pretty much every other Nexus 5 that I have seen was the same and my friend Nexus 6n or whatever is called was even slower when it was newer.
TBF, the article does admit as much. I also don't mind this sort of thing as long as it's a reasonable request (not sure if it is tho cause I block all javascript lol)
aren't insurance rates supposed to be based on risk? so unless the recent string of natural disasters increased the risk (or revealed increased risk) of future disasters, they shouldn't raise rates. or did the reinsurers want to recoup some of that lost money?
What is "code" anyway except instructions? The Harvard-Von-Neumann distinction is really a continuum. Even today's computers draw important distinctions between data and code: for example, we have separate data and instruction caches, and Linux has special caching behavior for PROT_EXEC pages.

(The latter is an annoyance, BTW: there's no reason to treat Java bytecode, say, differently from PROT_EXEC pages. Executable protection should have nothing to do with active or inactive list membership.)
Opium-based pain killers are the most reliable way to ease pain without causing organ damage in the near term.

Drugs like Advil and Tylenol cause organ damage even at small doses and are thus unusable for extreme pain.

Opiates are used the world over for pain relief, not just for cancer patients. If we had a way to ease pain with something non-addictive that didn’t cause immediate organ damage that would be great.

There is a huge difference from the security perspective between rendering a static HTML site and executing JavaScript. That theoretically they might be close has no practical meaning, and insisting on it may paralyse us into doing nothing. Securing font rendering or HTML rendering is achievable. I suggest replacing the C code by code written in a language with stronger static verification, like Rust.

Also, JavaScript and WebAssembly (the latest starting with this talk) are actively used for unauthorized access to computers. It's not like I'm pointing out theoretical attack possibilities. This makes the matter more urgent.

Maybe I’m misreading something in the tone, but when unusually sensitive people should consider maybe changing their planned a activities a little bit what does that mean for the average healthy person?

It kind of sounds like a non-warning.

I mean what’s prolonged exertion anyway? A marathon? 10 hours of physical labor like construction? A light jog in the park?

And what is “reduce”? Stop completely? Switch from marathon to half marathon? Work a 5 hour construction shift instead of 10?

Somehow I don’t think physical laborers are reducing their workload for this.
bonus points for applying machine learning to match the content to the ad
Local news are a cesspool in my country. Ads all over, floating layers that slide in when you scroll, covering the main article, requests for automated browser notifications, and the text itself is just 10% of the page and quite hard to find sometimes. It can be a whole page of ads with just one phrase of actual content.

Sometimes the whole thing is a bait and switch - things like "Incredible, find out what happened to this starlet with amazing butt".... after 5-6 phrases that don't say anything about it we find out "... she's crying because her grandma died" (real story). Fucking bait and switch gutter news. But Adblock can't solve that.

I don't think a laptop can be normally used to browse these news sites without Adblock, and sometimes at all.

Or is it just empty talk?
Sorry if this is a dead point that’s already been discussed but: if the code is sandboxed then what is the difference between arbitrary WebAssembly and arbitrary JavaScript other than speed? It all comes down to instructions executing in the same sandbox doesn’t it? From a security perspective what does this actually change? Is it just that there’s a greater capacity for obfuscation?
Anyone else annoyed at the article’s title?

“Too drunk to drive? New California law could give you a free ride”

It wouldn’t “give” you a free ride, it would undo the previous law that stopped the business from giving you a free ride. They’re framing it like “not doing the stupid thing anymore” is some kind of gift from the state.
I hate to be that guy, but I'm going to guess you probably _do_ consent just by accessing certain sites. I'm sure if you read the terms they disclose that. I'm not saying that's right, and I also have a similar stance of trying not to be profiled, but don't delude yourself thinking your ad blocker is stopping organizations from gathering your metadata.

Disasters essentially provide information that lets insurers price risk. Inflation is their chief enemy. During times without events they do bank for payout. When an event happens often risk is better understood and policies might be renegotiated after a disaster a la Katrina on offshore oil and gas. It happens through groups of "syndicates" at Loyds of London - basically actuaries with capital.
Yup, they also had repeatedly recommended their upgrade[1], but were ignored by Washington.

To my siblings: you don't know how libraries work.

If you understand binary compatibility you can deploy a library without deploying its client applications/libraries (they would need to be restarted, however).

In fact, this is one of the very reasons people invented shared libraries! It's why, for example, Linux distros are based on shared libraries: one can update large swaths of the system by updating a single package.

If your languages don't support this then it would be very unfortunate indeed.
Thanks for the intuition. We're done very soon and hope to never go this hard again.

I wonder if people should consider that "freedom" includes being free of fear and threat. Where I live, even children can go out on the streets at night without a second thought. Without having to fear violence, hate, gangs or the authorities. There is something wrong with a society that prioritizes freedom of speech and the right to carry a gun, over the right to not live in fear and to human dignity.
If you don’t consent why view their content?

And I’d like an answer for once other than the super literal “Because their server returned the status code 200”

Because sure, it did, but if we’re turning this into an ideological discussion of how you feel you haven’t given permission, why even feed the system with your view.

Even using an ad blocked you’re still adding views to the page, and the powers that be will simply view you as a customer, albeit one they’re being cheated out of with a pesky ad blocked.

To me you are consenting the moment you decide to use services and websites that cost millions of dollars to maintain and expecting and paying little to nothing compared to the real cost of those services. If you used paid sites you’d see less ads (maybe not no ads because often times the cost you pay still isn’t the “real cost” of that service”) and my guess is this tracking would seem a lot less intrusive.

Example: Sometimes I use sites to watch foreign films that show several tabs of ads for each click. You need to click on each hyperlink about 3 times, each time opening a new ad, some of which are the “Update flash” malicious type. I don’t ad block them (anymore, for a short while I used ad-block on sites like this and then thought better if it) because hosting 100s of HD movies costs money.

Sometimes I run out of patience and instead of playing up my entitlement and just saying “I deserve this because reasons” I just... close the page. If no one views the videos, no money will be made, and either the hosting service will shape up, or it will close. There won’t be an arms race of anti-ad-blocker vs ad-blocked.
For bitcoin, they can actually tell.

This seems like a thorough and good response, but look at what it took in order for it to happen! Apple cultivates a perception that they stand by their products, but you really can't count on that.

I've recently had a month-long (and ongoing) to-and-fro of Apple Care repairs to my late 2016 Macbook Pro. I have Apple Care, but it's been more than a month and they're okay with it having taken that long (and being ongoing). The solution to a repair not having fixed a problem is another round of the same tests as last time, followed by a repair that replaces another component. The crash report is easily findable on Google and seems to be a long-standing hardware issue, but Apple Support behave as though it's the first time they've ever encountered it.
Apple's battery apology could be its most important ever
It makes the use-case for this type of code deployment wider, it's more effective at what it's already used for, and it's also less auditable.

These are three reasons why developing and supporting WebAssembly is finally against the interest of the users.

The harder, less efficient and cumbersome this type of drive-by code deployment is, the less attractive and used it'll be.

Also, sandboxing helps only until it doesn't. It's a futile task, especially when we don't have complete control of the hardware, which we don't, because the chip developers don't tell us complete specificiations and functionality.

Not the parent but I would say yes, definitely. It’s easy to make a cryptocurrency where there is less demand for transactions than can fit in in a small block. The real challenge is when the demand seriously ramps up, which only bitcoin (core) and ethereum have seen.
Surprisingly, yes! Even in Canada, about 9/10 of the projects I work on are using these units.

These units are generally much more pleasant to remember and work with, even despite the code using empirical design equations that require SI units

One thing that helps me avoid notifications is turning my screen to greyscale, notifications are way less visually distracting then. Only problem is that WhatsApp 'read' ticks colour scheme means that in greyscale the sent and read colours are the same so can be a bit annoying.

Converting an abstraction layer into a public API is expensive.

Besides obvious documentation, tools and dev.support costs, also compatibility cost. Currently Intel/AMD can change the microarchitecture however they see fit, potentially even between revisions, as long as the instruction set stay stable.

> I'm sure if you read the terms they disclose that.

As an average person, if you spend 8 hours a day reading all the terms and conditions you 'agree' to, it would take you 76 days to just read them, nevermind understand them.

http://techland.time.com/2012/03/06/youd-need-76-work-days-t...

I'm not actually sure how we ended up living in a world where those terms and conditions are legally meaningful. But I'll reiterate that they can fuck right off and there is absolutely no moral dilemma about blanket filtering of ads and trackers. As to how effective they are - effective enough to prompt anti adblocking measures such as TFA.
This is a Mayo Clinic commentary on a publication in Neurology:
http://n.neurology.org/content/early/2017/12/27/WNL.00000000...

in which a group of physicians "systematically reviewed MCI prevalence, prognosis, and treatment." The recommendations specifically apply to Mild Cognitive Impairment, which is a pre-Alzheimer's like condition where cognitive function has declined significantly from age-norms or recent history, but not enough to interfere with activities of daily living (and so does not meet the diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer's/dementia).

What's interesting about the review is that for the first time, two interventions are suggested: physical exercise (as mentioned in the headline), and cognitive training. Pharmaceuticals for Alzheimer's are commonly prescribed for MCI; but this review specifically notes that no high quality evidence exists for their efficacy in MCI.

On (2) -- I picked a personal anecdote, but I've seen this be very true on much smaller teams, as well. (Including, as it happens, AlphaGo! Think about what went in to creating the circumstances where it could be tested... they did some heroic labor)

On (3) -- not just UX! Interaction with the outside world is a feature of every aspect of how people will use (or misuse) the system.

(5) Totally agree that this is crucial. I did give a few examples (later in the article) but I think that coming up with a good taxonomy of these skills, and patterns for learning and teaching them, is a huge challenge going forward.

Many intuitions are useful: for example, you note that some people want more laughter at work, others don't. A good leader should be able to make that meta-analysis, figure out what the team needs, and create that. But needs to do what? How do we describe the (positive) effects of laughter that you're trying to capture?

You make some very solid points. However, most of the civilian guns are owned by people that most here would likely associate with being unable to cost-effectively provide any value to other humans at some point in the future. A large portion of those who are in the military associate with such people. Who is going to be performing said shooting? Just a thought.

>1% of the US labor force earns the minimum wage.

About 3% of the American labor force made the federal minimum wage in 2016, not 1%. This number is vastly higher when included those who make state minimum wages that are higher than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.

>The person at the median in the US middle class has their healthcare paid for by their employer.

The median US worker most certainly does not have their healthcare paid for my their employer. Some are partially subsidized, some receive nothing. Very few "middle class" workers have their healthcare paid for, let alone their full health insurance premiums or deductibles. The average worker pays $4,200 for their own healthcare out of pocket after all employer subsidies.

New results from an industry organization's annual study shows that large employers expect the total average per-employee cost for health insurance benefits — which includes premiums and out-of-pocket costs for employees and dependents — to rise in 2018 to $14,156 from $13,482 this year.

With employers covering about 70 percent of that cost, the average worker will pay 30 percent of the tab, or about $4,200.

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/09/employers-to-spend-about-100...

That is $4,200 out of the worker's income. Median income last year in the United States was $31,099. Depending on what state the worker lives in they are taking home ~$25,000 after taxes and tax rebates. This means that even after employer subsidy they are paying about 1/6th of their total annual income on healthcare.

>The US middle class has in fact seen significant compensation increases that are not accounted for, because their healthcare benefits from employers are not accounted for in salary comparisons.

For most workers they are paying more for healthcare while receiving less coverage than they have in past years and decades in the United States. Somewhat ironic, but not surprising given your other comments, that you equate receiving less of a lower quality product as "increased compensation". Next year, when deductibles rise and workers have to pay more, should we also count that as increased compensation? Perhaps what we can call it what it is - a direct transfer of wealth to the ownership class on Wall Street. A massive corporate welfare program for pharmaceutical companies, HMOs, insurance companies, managed care conglomerates and their shareholders.

France is not perfect, but when people get sick, they can go to the doctor for treatment even if they don't have enough money. When someone gets hit by a car in France, they don't have to limp away because the cost of an ambulance ride could bankrupt them. When someone in France has a life threatening abscess in their tooth they can go to a dentist for proper treatment instead of hoping it goes away until they have thousands of dollars.
