Smaller and Smarter: The Electron Rocket Takes Flight
I'd say it's advanced in terms of "escalating heatmap information into identifying people running round a submarine base". Yes, you can (should!) use aliases there, at which point the people stay anonymous. Except: in the screenshot I have of that segment before I deleted it, only 2 of the 16 people don't use full names.
Not really, I'm trying to hire anyone, even mediocre developers and designers and simply can't get anyone right now on a short term basis even at $300/hr. We're going up to $500/hr soon.

It's really really hard to get people right now. As bad as I've ever seen it.
Exactly. The most recent work I shipped was on a fixed-rate retainer. I based it on the value and not time. Internally, I knew how many hours it would take and was pleased with the ROI.
No updates might actually be better than forced (practically? I don't use iOS) updates that make your device less desirable to you, and can't be undone.

It's more fair and conceivable that Apple should be forced to meet certain standards for updates they choose to release, than for any manufacturer to be forced to make updates for some arbitrary/indefinite period of time.

10 years ago was around the time Microsoft switched to entirely new, XML-based file formats. So it might have something to do with that, i.e. the compatibility work being diluted by now having to aim for a new target in addition to the old one.

Perhaps a "fire and motion" strategy[1] on Microsoft's part?

It's pretty good lately. By no means are all the imcompatibilities resolved. What's happened for me though, is that I'm using Google Docs/Sheets more and more. They have also improved, and are pretty good now. And for collaboration, hands down better than emailing document files around or even trying to share them on Dropbox or similar.

I'll still use LibreOffice to open the odd attachment I get, but that's about it.
1400/hr ??? What do you do?
I know Propeller and I think the guys did a great job there. My project will also be based on Bootstrap to make it easy to jump in for most devs. I've put the link to the waiting list below and I'd love to hear your opinion the moment it's out.
I had no idea that it was a thing. I really hope that it will be released sooner than later!
It’s clean but feels like a Hyundai and that is in the best case scenario, which works for the model 3 especially if they can bring it’s price down even more but for the model s it’s a bit shameful.
Have you considered how this will impact people who are running a business with 50+ employees 10000km and 9hours time zones away from the Bay Area?

As it is, it's definitely optimized for US companies who can afford to fly in for the weekly dinners without allowing their companies suffer from their 3 month absence.
Presenter here, feel free to ask questions.

Also thanks to the awesome Recurse Center for inviting me to speak and making the recording, and the audience for their great questions.
Upvoted for pointing out that this random number isn't necessarily unique. There can be collisions, just as with a conventional hash.
Definitely safer, but it would require seat manufacturers and aircraft interiors to re-design all of their products. This is probably part of the "passengers won't like it" excuse (lobby?). An aft-facing seat back would be very different structurally from a forward-facing seat back, the former absorbing impact load from a face slamming into it (current seat backs are designed to crumple/absorb load in a crash). When it comes down to it, a three point seat belt is probably cheaper to integrate on all economy seats if the FAA starts requiring improved passenger safety, as opposed to throwing years of crash test research, engineering, and products out the window and starting from scratch. The industry is pretty entrenched in forward-facing seating.
When the inevitable day comes when we fully and thoroughly finish scanning every nook and cranny of the Pyramids, I wonder if they will be able to maintain their novelty? Will tourists eventually cast the place aside as "been there, seen it all" once technology has fully mapped the place?
> I've tried to use OpenOffice multiple times over the years. I always give up because files I receive from colleagues end up looking really bad.

Try LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice. There have been several MS Office compatibility enhancements in LibreOffice which are not present in OpenOffice.
All of the flight controller development I see is just circuit optimization for LC filters (cleaner video), integrated OSD, smaller 20mmx20mm footprint for micro-builds, hardware-wise anyway.

There is a good amount of competition in the cleanflight/betaflight/raceflight firmware arena and there is outstanding hardware support for an amazing number of FC boards.

Speed controllers are playing songs now, months after my bro did some ESC assembly hacking to get his playing the first few bars of the doom theme, it’s just a feature now.

Frankly I think the powerful open-source FrSky gear, the taranis TX and the OpenTX movement has made the biggest impact on the RC scene overall raising the feature bar and lowering the price point significantly over spektrum and futaba gear.[0]

I too had an older model iPhone (with an aging battery) that would shut off when exposed to cold temps. I would have much rather had the software automatically govern draw on the battery because trying to hail an uber at 3am in the freezing cold and having your phone randomly shut off isn't fun.

I cannot get behind the criticism of Apple on this specific issue. I think they were doing the right thing and I think adding a software option to allow the user to disable the governor algorithm (for lack of a better term) is akin to giving the user enough rope to hang themselves with.
+1 for regex crossword. That's a lot of fun.
The rest of the world calls these "Diecast boxes".

In England, Eddystone have been making them for about three generations of electric hobbyists.
I'm not sure how this (badly) communicated feature is 'anti-consumer'. It is practical power management at its finest and all other phone makers can learn from it.
I have an iPhone 6, and I don't mind the speed but the battery suddenly started to be drawn done a lot more than before (sometime last Nov/Dec IIRC). I don't use the phone for much, so it was quite noticeable when I would be down to 80% after one phone call.
Why hiring the ‘best’ people produces the least creative results
Buying bitcoin with it and then selling the bitcoin immediately for USD, and banking it would mean they are at least solvent, is they key point he is getting at. Im not sure why anyone would want to trust money to that without audits, but its certainly possible. And quite important!

Edit: the assumption seems to be that they are buying bitcoin and holding it, which would increase the bid and result in not being backed by USD. If they are not holding the bitcoin, then the buys and sells even out, and they are not adding to the bid, and they hold cash equivalent to USDT. I am quite interested to find out which it is.
Forcing my views? What if they were spreading porn to children, should society force it's views on them then? What if they were subverting elections? 'Forcing your views' is kind of how society works. Facebook is not a harmless forum where friends can adopt banter at the level they feel comfortable with. Facebook put things in your timeline that are unsolicited because they are a publisher and should follow the same laws as other publishers.
Thank you, I'll surely keep flexibility in mind. However, don't you think UI kits are meant to do the most of the job for the developer and should not require any additional work on your side? (as long as it does not interfere with your stack ofc)
It's too complex, and to keep a govt/ site secure, you'd need every person who runs round it to keep their info locked down.
I think Strava will end up having specific "national-state privacy zones" where no runs ever appear in heatmaps and segments cannot be created
It bothers me a little the way people are assuming active malice where passive indifference and normal progressions of technology and features is sufficient to cause what we are seeing.

Apple could be inserting code to slow down phones in a very controlled and deliberate effort:

if (version <= iPhone7) {
wait_ms(100);
}

This is what I think of when someone says Apple is deliberately slowing down phones but I don't find this credible.

For this specific case Apple's explanation, they started throttling down CPUs based on battery age to prevent unexpected phone shutdowns make sense. I do have issue with how this was initially messaged (a.k.a. it wasn't) but I understand why, consumer tech news tends to be very low information. It doesn't make sense for Apple to try to explain to users the details of every tweak to power management settings, and if they did it would either be lost on most consumers or be transformed in to negative headlines about how updating your phone makes it slower, in large part because the headline "Will the New iOS Update Slow Down your iPhone?" gets more clicks than "Apple makes Incremental Improvements to Power Management of iPhones as Part of Long-Term Strategy". So I understand the strategy of saying nothing.

Furthermore I expect most of the actual (not perceived) slow down is from dozens of conversations like happening:

Eng: New feature FooBar is awesome we should include it in the next iOS release.
QA: FooBar isn't passing latency tests on our latest iPhone so you can't include it.
Eng: Darn :(

<2 years later>

Eng: I still think Foobar is awesome, and look it very snappy on my current phone.
QA: It works on our latests phones too, and users like it. Okay it is in!
Eng: Yay.

This is fundamental to how software has been developed forever. We make faster hardware to be able to run more complex taxing software and than means older hardware will be slower in comparison.
What vital safety protections do you believe are missing?

>The fact that a significant amount of California politicians have been bought and paid for by Google and are still resistant to adopting Google's preferred legislation on self-driving cars shows some level of how reckless Google has been here.

Erm, there are about 30 conjectures in this statement. I don't know how I can have a good faith conversation with you when you say stuff like this that I can best describe as made up nonsense. Its tautological and impossible to even imagine a counterargument. Just to be clear, here's what you're assuming:

- Google's vehicles are unsafe (if they weren't what they are doing wouldn't be reckless, by definition)
- Google has significant control of the CA legislature
- Google is resistant to this regulation for safety reasons, and not some other reason (for example: competative advantage)
- California's regulations don't harm Google's advances in areas unrelated to safety

Just as a simple counterexample: Waymo wants to beta test the infrastructure for scaling out its fleet without safety drivers. There have been 0 disengagements in the last N,000 miles (where, say, N is suitably large), and the cars appear able to drive themselves in all circumstances they encounter in Phoenix. In such a case, continuing to require safety drivers (as in CA) would be harmful to their goals, and wouldn't actually have an impact on safety.

To summarize: your entire argument that Google is being reckless is predicated on their vehicles being unsafe. If they arne't unsafe, nothing else follows. You don't trust Google. But I don't understand where "don't trust" becomes "actively assume malice at every point". That seems, strange.
Your persona is almostly certainly still in there (unless you were naughty enough to get blotted).

The Telecom Gold gateway was way better than the Prestel one; more gome users on the Prestel (Micronet) side though.

What killed both Prestel - and the BT interest in Minitel - was the bad press they were getting for their premium rate business. So BT decided to 'de-emphasise' all the non-core business by treating the paying customers like sh!t; sort of bounced off the Shades players though, so eventually they did have to just shut it all down.
We're talking crypto investors here. The ones that preach diversification, and then sell every single one of their alt coins when the bitcoin bubble is deflating.
If you don't know what area you want to work in, you should go find the communities that interest you and engage with them. This is regardless of whether you're looking to collaborate, or to solve someone's problems professionally.

Goals, Habits and Process: Practical advice on combining the 3 factors of success
The key finding here seems to be that "66% of revenue ($435 million) and 45% of all Airbnb reservations in New York City last year were illegal." and that "reducing housing supply, Airbnb has increased the median long-term rent in New York City by 1.4%"

The methodology looks solid, and this paints a terrible picture of airbnb.

Some anecdotal account, if I may. I got out of depression by going through a purely online cognitive behavioural therapy programme, over 10 years ago. Been OK since.

I believe that depression and anxiety may need more unbiased research for the best solutions to be found. Between therapists and pharmaceuticals, there's a lot of vested interest in the status quo.
The best way is probably to sell BTC futures, if Tether/Bitfinex go down the market will be chaos and won't have the Tether protection team to bid it back up. Those are cash settled and you will 100% get your money. Shorting on any crypto exchange has a lot more counterparty risk.
TLDR: "We didn't do anything wrong. Thanks"
Agreed. All other improvements LO makes are futile until compatibility is 100%.
LO works very well in a closed environment with only LO users, but it doesn't work to share documents with Office users.
> but if tether one day rises to 1.05 USD

That's not the concern. The concern is that if you have a contract that promises to pay the bearer X and you don't pay the bearer X when they ask because you lied, then that's fraud.

It's especially frowned upon when X has 10 digits before the dp.

Now, I happen to think that the Tether folk have been a tad more crafty than some of the black and white commentary is making out. More specifically, if they've been careful with who they've allowed to set up accounts, it may be effectively impossible for them to be called out.

I also don't think the CFTC calling in Dec is that interesting. It probably precipitated their change in T&Cs at the beginning of Jan though.

Guess we'll find out.
We don't need the regulations. We need this technology now, hell, we actually need this technology 20 years ago.

If progress means death as a byproduct, than this death is totally welcome.
If the US only allowed one grocery store to exist, that would have economies of scale as well.

Shouldn't we then give everyone "food insurance" which you pay for with taxes, and then are able to use that food insurance to get food from the store for free? (well, not really free, paid for by your taxes). You'd pay a predetermined amount of money no matter what you got from the store, but your options would be limited by the government food insurance committee.

If you don't support this single payer food insurance solution to all of your caloric needs, then my question for you is why do you hate poor people?
Always stand in shoes of the other person and look at things from his perspective.
Seems kind of crazy things can be sealed like this in cases regarding public safety.
I saw this advertised years ago. Surely something as heavy as LO isn't really suited to a webapp.
There was a really interesting segment on last week's Vergecast ( https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/26/16935908/vergecast-podcas... ) about DJI and how business is different for them being a Chinese electronics company. Specifically, their products are state of the art because they are plugged into the components markets, but they also release new products very frequently because with the lack of intellectual property protections the competition is always right around the corner.
> Has Samsung, Google et al provided any clarification on why particular phones do not receive updates?

Probably because they don't want to spend time supporting these devices?

Oh, many people get my article, only the few who don't are most vocal on HN, which is nothing new. Probably says a lot about HN too.

E.g. you don't seem to get the article, as it's about hype and lack of interest in anything more than "oh my god latest tech trend", which is as sad as your above statement.

Obligation? Who talked about obligation? What obligation? You really cannot put two and two together? If Canonical didn't go the vanity route and contributed upstream to other projects instead (as responsible companies tend to do), Wayland would be a lot closer to production grade today. Mir meant no interest in Wayland. If there was no Mir, there would probably have been. So you're wrong, it is direct cause and effect. Even if you don't get it.

I haven't looked at it in any detail, but my impression was that shapeshift was fairly, uh, on the up and up?

Iirc, the idea is you say you want x amount of cryptocurrency M sent to address A1, and you want to pay in cryptocurrency N, and it gives you an address B2 and a quantity y, and you send it, then they send it. With this set-up, I don't see much of a way for them to behave dishonestly that wouldn't be immediately discovered, as either you get the currency or you don't, and if they don't, then you can quickly tell.

(I mean, the exchange rate they give might not be the best available, but it is the consumer's choice whether or not to accept the exchange rate for the convenience.)

Also, it is possible that I am substantially mis-remembering how it works, as I've never used it (I don't in fact own any of any cryptocurrencies, and never have except for testnet ether)

Also, I don't know if shapeshift is still around or not.
> because of brand recognition.

I assume long-term corporate support contracts play a large part, too.
emacs also has a visual regexp builder mode (M-x re-builder) that shows the 200 first matches in the current buffer to validate that the regular expression does what you want. But AFAIR there are syntax differences between different regexp flavors and emacs uses the elisp flavor of course.
On the buy side, it's for avoiding using a bank account and the associated know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering laws. If you send and receive dollars, there are reporting requirements that you have to legally follow.

Tethers are car wash tokens, not dollars, so various organizations are willing to let you do whatever with them. The obvious incentive on the sell side is that you can print literally billions of car wash tokens and buy other cryptocurrencies with them.

I'm not saying that there's nothing worth investigating in the Crypto space, but I wish the SEC spent half the time it spends chasing down shady ICOs looking into fraud at Goldman Sachs and other Wall St. banks. You know, the institutions that whose scale dwarfs crypto and actually has enormous economic repercussions?

I think "VR tourism" could be a pretty cool thing if large scale 3D mapping of interesting places takes off. I imagine it to be a little like a more immersive "Street View" from Google Maps.

>Only about 26 percent of employers with between 100 and 499 employees self-insure, compared with more than 82 percent of employers with 500 or more employees, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

That being said, they don't usually take on ALL the insurance risk, they typically purchase stop gap insurance for very large claims.
I can't wait till this comes out. We're currently stuck between a 3, S and X. I have two 3's on order but the 3 isn't going to be big enough for my wife who schleps kids around all day (SAHM & very active homeschooler). The X is too expensive, it's more expensive than a decked out Cadillac Escalade (her current but aging ride). The S is nice but not as easy to get in and out of if you have a child in a car seat. A crossover would presumably ride a little higher than an S and be roughly as spacious inside as an X, and hopefully will be more minimalist inside and lower performance like the 3 bringing the price down.
Throttling happens in well under 2 years which is the normal use period for most people. If they were doing this in much older phones then maybe you could chalk it up to altruism, but with it happening to phones still in their normal service life its clearly an under spec'd battery if this is what they are forced to resort to.
> The fact that a significant amount of California politicians have been bought and paid for by Google and are still resistant to adopting Google's preferred legislation on self-driving cars shows some level of how reckless Google has been here.

Alternatively, the fact that they are unwilling to adopt Google's preferred legislation disproves your premise that they are bought and paid for by Google, collapsing your entire argument.
No less so than google docs or the msoffice equivalent?
