When I tried the demo, clicking through to part 2 only autofilled the username, but when I hit F5 to reload the page it autofilled the password too.

How much can I trust those ROM builders, though? If I use anything other than the official LineageOS builds (e.g. if there are none for my device, or only nightly ones) I can't even be sure that the binaries that people upload match the source code they publish, right?

They might even not publish the source, and if they do, what are the chances that anyone has audited it?
How many years, exactly do you think? I need to know so I can get to cash just ahead of that time period.

What if these "crashes" happen only once a liftetime and we just had a major correction in 2008/9?

What do you want ChromeOS for that you can't do from a proper Linux environment?
I'll be honest and admit that because of the WSJ paywall, I wasn't able to read the entire article. If an actively-managed-fund with much higher fees is trying to convince people that they can beat the market by cutting down on tech stocks, I agree with you that's BS.

However, if a passively-managed-fund with similar fees is claiming that you can lower your portfolio-risk by investing equally across many industries, that's an argument I find much more convincing. I had actually not considered this argument before, which is why I found the article interesting for bringing it up (perhaps tangentially).
Don't know about whether the person should be fired-- but this reminds me of a guy I used to work with. He was notorious for finishing his tasks slowly; and what he would do was, if given even a simple task, end up writing a huge module for it, that was, though modularized, full of crappy unnecessary code. It was kind of a weird stubborness in him. He refused to use existing utils/methods that other people had written as well; he would not improve existing utils or use them, he would just write his own arcane esoteric behemoths even to solve simple problems. It frustrated the hell out of me but he never seemed to draw the ire of the other developers on our team. I ended up leaving that company and discovered a few months later he was let go.
Like with the new Apple campus, the first day it was open, visitors such as John Gruber noted there were signs everywhere warning about how slippery the ground was because apparently it wasn't designed with the idea of dealing with being wet from rain which made it very slippery, or how the showcase room while beautiful was not practical for it's intended purpose. Apple's builders do seem to have an issue with designing for use versus appearance.
Ask HN: Looking for characterless web font for mockups
I've seen and am looking for a font face for web that renders as thick lines for characters/words (no matter which characters are in the document). It was pitched as an alternative to lorem ipsum.

I can't find the name of the font that I'm referring to.

I like what Rick Steves is doing. His initial approach targeted a specific demographic serviced by a specific charity and it seems like this model is working. That specific demographic -- single moms going through the YWCA most likely is also targeting local people needing help.

Having lived in Santa Cruz for 27+ years, it's a compassionate community on the coast and is very expensive to live in. It also has exacerbated levels of homelessness, crime, and drug issues not experienced by other cities in the county (to the same degree) -- it doesn't know when to say "no". It has become a destination for the homeless, those wanting to live by their own rules, and those seeking to getaway -- some even claim people are put on a bus in other communities to get out of town and go to Santa Cruz.

A story in the local paper -- http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/lifestyle/20171225/a-tale-o...

Highlighted are someone homeless for 20+ years not from Santa Cruz but living there and one recently from Ohio. The city recently set up a "camp" near the river in town. The first OD death in the camp (there have been two) was someone recently from out of the area.

My point? Homelessness and mental illness and drug issues are problems. However, tolerant attitudes like those in Santa Cruz attract people from out of area that make it next to impossible to actually deal with the shear numbers. Yet, local compassionate policies refuse to try and handle the obvious problem -- you can't help everyone. A city of 60k can only do so much.

This is an issue that needs to be solved regionally. While people are free to move about, every community should not be obligated to put the needs of the newly arrived ahead of those who have been facing challenges locally.
>With enough armed bodyguards you aren't going to be kidnapped at gunpoint.

Okay, now the kidnappers dress up as cops and "arrest" you. Perhaps they bribe the actual cops to do it for them?

Armed bodyguards do not seem like a substantial increase in difficulty for someone who intends to kidnap a person.
That drives me even more crazy with iMacs. They are on a table. The table is made out of wood! It's sturdy. Please make it 6" deeper, add a real graphics card and some real cooling.
1Password does this also, and I believe LastPass. I too prefer this behavior to autofill, especially in situations where I have, say, multiple Google accounts, to the point where the UX tradeoff (introducing extra UI) is totally worth it.
I suspect this is nowhere near universal as we might think. Maybe it comes from viewer’s bias or a personality flaw common to individuals obssessed enough to invent, but nothing about progress benefits from personal destruction. There must be examples of progress without pain. Did inventing the internet cause anyone grief?
There are iOS apps to check the battery stats on an iDevice.

The S&P fund or any index that spreads out your risk is pretty much always your best bet. If you hold a single stock, say AAPL, and that one stock slides for any reason, you don't have enough years to make it all back. We regular folk who do not buy options as insurance can only spread out our risk as widely as possible. Institutions and firms with billions of dollars can do fancy things to protect themselves.
Yeah. Often a gentoo root system becomes inoperable because it's out of date or has some weird package configuration. Using a snapshot-capable root allows you to easily swap it out to something known good or freshly installed and keep running.
> There’s not even a direct way to detect this.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but you can run software that will give you these details and much, much more about the state of the CPU.
> and crime will have declined for 27 straight years

> But criminologists differ about the cause of the continued declines. Mr. Zimring said that while better policing accounted for much of the decline in crime since 1990, it was no longer a primary driver. New York is “tiptoeing” toward a 90 percent crime decline for reasons that remain “utterly mysterious,” he said.

The "27 straight years" caught my eye, and reminded me of something I saw a good decade ago, so may I suggest something controversial?

It doesn't perfectly match 27 years ago, but this is across the whole US, not just NYC - (popular) violent video games are highly correlated with the drop in crime: http://oi25.tinypic.com/2r6ns4y.jpg

(Correlation <> causation, but I _definitely_ think it merits more investigation... does anyone else happen to know more?)

Funnily enough, it used to be that Apple cost more because they were well-designed and would "just work," but now they command a premium because help and repair is always close by!
Thank you, I get it now. You're absolutely right and that could be really interesting. The problem is you don't usually have large sets of data in elementary uni labs, because of schedules really, but that would be the best.

I'm not an Astronomer (nor Astrophysicist, I know about GR coming from a Theoretical Physics bkg), so I suspect you could get more recent data, but a classic reference from the GR book of Weinberg is a paper from G. M. Clemence: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1947RvMP...19..361C (it can be obtained if you look around, there's a similar free-to-read paper from the same Clemence: https://www.jstor.org/stable/3143142?seq=1#page_scan_tab_con...) that has as reference this: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1943AJ.....50..126C (full text), that quotes the Astronomical Papers of the American Ephemeris, Volume 11 (it says II, but it's actually 11), part I. Google is your friend (they've scanned those!) and you can find the data at https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000068403. This is how a little of preliminary research works, you have to do it yourself all the time... Luckily now you don't have to go hunting for a paper copy without being sure about the contents all the time (although it still happens).

The classical mechanics calculation might be tricky, to say the least, as well.

For the UV catastrophe I've always liked the Jeans cubic cavity and the Gamow observation that opening an oven doesn't kill you. And of course, the fact that integrating Planck's law gets you Stefan-Boltzmann's, very neat result.

I should think about all this a bit more in order to give you better feedback.

>So I take the drop to $29 as a tangible apology, which I appreciate. (Well, personally, I've already replaced my battery using a $25 kit from Amazon, but obviously that's not viable for the great majority of iPhone owners.)

Seems pretty cheap from the worlds richest company considering it's a $5 battery in question that takes minutes to replace. Why could they not offer full RMA service?
There is a Costco promo for Moviepass + Fandor for $90/year, but it has a lot of negative reviews[0] this month (click on the "1 Star" bar in the review section; you can only navigate there via the javascript links).

Or a third option: invest in software that doesn't have strict absolute hardware requirements. A lot of the hardware requirement inflation is due to unoptimized software. Which is not a quality failing as much as a deliberate choice. Apple could absolutely include older device performance in their QA testing.

how hard would it be to translate the movements to midi? I'm guessing there would be some way to capture the signals the prosthesis and characterise the mapping from movement to midi.
A message to Apple, you have made products which users cannot exchange the battery themselves in. Further you degrade the performance of iPhones by cpu throtteling as the device ages and charge a fee for exchanging the battery. Thus you hurt the environment and consumers.

One could swap batteries in cell phones previously also in Apple laptops but now batteries and screens are glued to the device.

Please engineer phones which are made to be recycled and are easy to self service.

It feels like an obvious revenue stream for content publishers is in education - specifically, MOOCs. "Content" is really access to interesting information and storytelling. That'd lend itself well to highly specialized MOOCs that people would pay for, potentially. (I guess that's not technically a MOOC, but you know what I mean).
interesting post. having never played minecraft before i don't know much about its multiplayer - i've always assumed it is a single player (or has a single player component) where resources are essentially infinite. this appears to me like the server admin incorporated scarcity in order to allow an economy to develop. or perhaps scarcity existed in terms of time it took to procure materials.

the other economy that appears to be fairly interesting to understand (but not necessarily to partake in) could be EVE Online. Because I only have a few unscheduled hours of free time a week to play video games, I haven't been able to get into it. Eve is one of the rare MMOs to allow two-way markets which presents plenty of opportunities for traditional market making. As far as I can tell, pure arb is hard to come by given all the fees and most mkt mkrs make money taking a combination of inventory, production and transport risk. now if Eve standardizes chartering freight the economy will get closer to how commerce works in the real world, but as of now these activities feel a little disjointed.

as for the other MMOs, i feel they are a little bit on rails. games like WoW and PoE allow all kinds of low-risk "arbitrage" because of the lack of a two-way market. i played wow for a while and i found it's not much of a rush to snipe ignorant listings as acquiring 1000s of g in raid materials to craft raid level gear that sell for multiples, just from the tremendous risk being undertaken. the best guild traders were not merely trading on the auction house, they had Top-of-Orderbook relationships with "Chinese farmers" and they'd craft discounted raid level materials into equipment and potions to sell to new guilds getting into the heavily-gated raid scene (this was back in 2004-2008 when i was active), so that these new guilds may one day have their best tanks poached by the very same guild that got them started in the first place.

i played wow just before my college days when i was all ready to make an education and career choice for the rest of my life. i was all set on EEE but at the last minute switched out (to math/econs) when i realized i hadn't been merely playing video games in the same way this person hadn't just been playing minecraft.
So because of communication error, you can dismiss your parent commenter as having “limited” needs? Seems a bit needlessly smug, don’t you think?

I also shoot with a EVIL system, specifically Fujifilm’s X system, and while my friends iPhone X I borrowed for a week won’t replace it entirely, it’s on a completely new level for smartphone photography and for the bulk of my photos it really can replace my camera!

Glibly saying “oh but it’s not a real camera and will never replace it” is missing the forest for the trees. Not only can it replace it in a lot of circumstances, it’s also an excellent addition to! Using the amazing screen with my cameras built in wifi makes processing and uploading images out in the field super simple.

That's why people largely vote on lines of ideology and hot-button issues; they're (ostensibly) voting on character and judgement, leaving the minutiae to Congress and bureaucrats to figure out.

Otherwise, what's the point of Congress if we aren't going to leave it to them to figure things out?
Why? Google isn't designing ChromeOS to be a platform for developers to target, so there isn't a tonne of advantage to having developers on the platform.
The pixel-shift of the Sony A7RIII and Hasselblad only works to remove the effect of different pixels having different color filters in a Bayer array, with the result being an image with 4x resolution and each pixel containing full color information.

To perform supperresolution imaging, you need some statistical information, some sort of prior, on the scene being imaged and the processing requirements are not insignificant. Can potentially be done, but not in the simplistic pixel-shift sense that recent cameras advertise.
There are phones with removable batteries, but consumers largely choose phones without removable batteries, and the market serves them.
I think you’re underestimating the leverage MoviePass could have over cinemas (and thus the studios who dictate terms to cinemas).

You'll probably hit the ulimit maximum file descriptors for the process. This might cause problems for the sshd process, or it might not since it might just hit the maximum for a process that's dedicated to your ssh connection.

Segregation seems like the most salient factor to me. NYC is seeing an almost unbelievable amount of re-integration of previously all-black areas. I'm not aware of anywhere else in the U.S. that's seen such a broad change in its black neighborhoods. In places like Bedford-Stuyvesant and Central Harlem, the white share of population has increased from 1-4 percent or so in 2000 (i.e. basically non-existent) to anywhere from 10-25% (depending on the exact area and how you break it up).

And growing.

Segregation has been a disaster for black neighborhoods. More than anything else, this change feels to me like a big one.

Lets say this gives them an extra $15 profit per battery replacement. I don't think that will balance out the people who now will hold off an extra year to upgrade.

As soon as this kicks in, I will be in line at a Genius bar to get my wife's 7 Plus battery replaced. This should hold her over for at least one more release cycle, possibly two. She was otherwise going to get a new phone in 2018.
Yeah, why should we let users manage the devices they own? That'd be absurd!

They aim for maximal stability of direction and flux.

"It is essential that the direction of the neutrino beam be stable to within 1/20 th of a degree, and that the intensity of the beam be constant over time ..." http://t2k-experiment.org/t2k/

While turning it on and off or steering it differently seems like it would help generate correlations with the detectors to distinguish T2K daughter products from those of other phenomena, the total set of detections are fleetingly rare. Moreover, the background is reasonably well characterized from the more than ten years before T2K existed, peppered with data from the various periods when T2K's beam was off for extended periods.

A brief explanation of why the T2K's beam is angled slightly away from the SK detectors is elsewhere at the same link.
Sure. But I had more in mind replacing the USB daughterboard or if necessary the mainboard, rather than the whole phone. Granted, that's still not necessarily cheap, but I'd be surprised to learn it cost significantly more than a stack of spare batteries...
