I am not convinced the UI is not bloated and buggy. Who cares if the app is tiny if it regularly shows unrendered json to me, is confusing as hell to be subscribed to a monthly service but sometimes still be asked to pay for songs, and generally feels slapped together with all the tiny menus full of ad-hoc options.

I mean why even write this? To convince apple they shouldn’t improve this mess? Clearly people perceive it as bloated, and customer perception is as good as it gets for feedback when you have a brand like apple.
Work on the Lincoln MKZ / Ford Fusion was made popular thanks to Dataspeed / Autonomoustuff, they open sourced a ROS module but most of their magic is propietary / secret. It's expensive but a lot of startups use it.

The work that you point to is what we now know "openly", and yeah, there is only a few of us and I am one of the firsts sharing their findings on that specific model. There are a ton of people who know what we yet don't know but they don't/can't share it publicly.
If I were hired to be on the team of twenty people that collectively compose a "candidate," I would have Zuckerberg go hard on pro-data-privacy right off the bat, just to cancel out his personal history. I'd write all of his early speeches to make him "better than Stallman," and once the whole Facebook thing had been forgotten the other 19 people could start their jobs. Accusations that he had abandoned his early platform mid-election could be countered with a heartfelt statement on the importance of other things - and the privacy line could finally slip away in the comfort of the oval office.

I hope nobody falls for that.
There's no scenario where human beings can land on Mars without biologically contaminating it. This is a powerful argument against human exploration of that planet. This is why God made robots.

I don't understand that, the folder was picked for the filing cabinet metaphor.

But in a filing cabinet system you have different cabinets, different drawers, different hanging files and various lower level arrangements - non-hanging folders (or drawer dividers), paper clips, staples.

Perhaps they never saw a filing cabinet? Or never put something in a box, then in another box?

When they put food in a cupboard do they empty it out of the current container first?

<<Your house is a drive, every room is a "folder", every container in every room is a "folder", every container inside another is a "folder", every object is a "file".>>

I've come across it, just assumed that no-one explained the metaphor to them.
You bring up a good point regarding education. No matter how much censorship there is, education is better. The way we educate young people about alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, etc. should be similar to the way we educate people on pornography.

Since the underlying standard is really a political maneuver meant to thwart Signal, this seems unlikely.

I genuinely have no idea where people like my parents or siblings would go if Facebook vanished tomorrow. Many many people that rely on current social media platforms don't have the desire to spend time investigating and experimenting with different social tools, nor do they have a desire to fragment their communication across multiple separate platforms.
One of the other use cases for this technology that I haven't seen people bring up yet is remote editing.

Whether you want to edit in a VM, or your company uses devservers, or you want to modify files on a remote server, the previous options were limited to terminal based editors.

VS Live Share should have the technology to enable that for VSCode/VS.

Check out this issue.

> I don't particularly like Moxie, personally, but his work stands on its own merits.

I hear you. What I meant is that although I know the guy has an excellent reputation, I know that because I heard other people say. I don't really have the technical knowledge to evaluate it myself, and I suspect 99% of the people in HN are in the same position. Therefore, if I were to say "Signal's security is excellent" I would be falling for the cult of Moxie myself, not an informed opinion.
This economic shift also affects the insulated, higher-class Americans by making noticeable changes on culture. In most roles, a nice suit at the office now suggests arrogance or even distrust. Instead, we venerate the "hoodie and t-shirt" CEO.
This is either satire, or I'm concerned about your sanity. Reading and re-reading your process leaves me baffled.

I would recommend just about any other process – including, not using iTunes, or not using an iPhone. The amount of effort you're investing seems far too great for the reward you reap: parity.

I've read that the average number of songs in a library is somewhere around 7000. Assuming you're quite efficient at 1) manually recording every song in a text file, 2) re-downloading the song, and 3) verifying that song has been downloaded, maybe it would take you 60s / song.

That's 116 hours dedicated to this process, or nearly 5 full days non-stop. Seriously, the opportunity cost (even at a minimum-wage salary) is more than a new iPhone costs brand new. This is very peculiar, indeed.
That's not an eInk display...so...it's not really the same product.
Show HN: Numcompress – Python package to compress numerical series into strings
I get that, and I agree, but my point was that if you're writing Python and finding that your code is too slow, it's far easier to just drop in a faster runtime than it is to rewrite your entire existing codebase in a new language.
>are vps providers somehow more trustworthy than ISPs?

Random small providers from lowendtalk or whatever may not be, but yeah vast majority of hosting providers will be far more trustworthy than any residential ISP.

However, life tends to be much easier if you avoid VPS providers and just get a cheap dedicated server from somebody like OVH instead.
I really admire that. There is stigma attached to second-hand clothes, at least in India. If you can afford it, it is almost unacceptable to wear second hand clothes, especially outside family and friends.
That doesn't explain why people in the poorest countries dress better than Americans. People living in the slums of India/Nigeria/Brazil are more likely to have a collared shirt and dress pants than an American going to work in an office.
Interesting that the official Telegram client gets mocked a lot for how bloated its code is.

And it absolutely is, from a 2 minutes look at their code :

- their chat activity is 12000 lines of code : https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram/blob/master/TMessagesProj/...

- it looks like they have copy pasted tons of Android library like exoplayer directly in their repo

It does work very well though !

I guess that they have an extremely small team (or just one persone) and it is their first Android project.

It looks like they have acqui-hired a competing chat client (Telegram X), so it looks like they have a solution to clean this mess.
I'd be curious to see how the sound stacks up against my $350 5.1 stereo system
PySpark should only be used for prototyping. It add an enormous extra overhead on operations due to serializing data back and forth between the Java and Python processes.
Unix philosophy says keys should be stored somewhere else, and you can write your own logic to update them on each node.
I would perhaps be far less cynical about FB and Zuck if he, and other senior people, used FB as we're expected to. He seems, from what I've read, to deeply value his privacy whilst FB does everything possible to gain more clicks, time and tracking from us. FB isn't even much good for keeping up with friends and family any more!

At least when Google was trying to push G+ there were many senior people actually just using it. You could actually have conversations with them!

If he wants to gain stellar ratings then perhaps he should set his sights a little higher. Like a certain Mr Musk recently did. :)
Maybe I listen to CDs/Vinyl, play Xbox, or would like to connect a non-macos computer to the TV.

AppleTV is Apple's answer and I bought heavily into the Apple ecosystem. However, I still use other audiosources daily.
Google has checks in place to see if someone is serving things to GoogleBot differently that the rest of the users. So it almost definitely has bots that double checks pages without the user-agent.

If the "disguised" googlebot is the same as the actual one, chances are it is since it would want to be as close as possible to not flag false positives, and use the same seed for consistency then you might be able to use that to avoid detection on the fact that you are serving google something different than normal users.

Newspaper used/do that to be able to have their full article content indexed while serving a paywall to everyone else.
I wish people would stop linking to AMP pages. They take about 8 seconds to load on non-mobile browsers with JS turned off.
pandas.read_csv is kind of abysmally slow, unfortunately. There are a couple of alternatives, but nothing has really taken hold.

Dask exists, but not everyone can run a distributed system to read a multi-gigabyte csv.
This also isn't necessarily true. Take the example of TensorFlow. You build a representation of the computation you want to run, and then you can run nearly the whole thing end-to-end in native C++ using Eigen data structures, with occasional shuttling of data back into PyObjects (rare) or numpy (common) for metrics tracking.

Cython is a much more powerful tool than I think the author of this article realizes.
The article seems to operate on a different premise. In sentence 2, "At a time when the economy is growing, unemployment is low, wages are rebounding and consumers are eager to buy..."

Do you think they're looking at the wrong economic data?
Also, healthgoth fashion
Except for three, humongous improvements that the Windows 10 start menu has over 95:

* It is flush bottom right with the screen, making it a true "mile button". In 95, there was a tiny non-clickable border around it, so if you just slammed your mouse into the corner, it would not work; someone who worked on Mac OS described MSFT as "narrowly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" compared to the mac's menu bar, which was perfectly flush to the top of the screen and thus a "mile high bar". I think this was actually done with XP?

* After clicking it, you can immediately type the name of the program you want to run, instead of having to click the "Run" entry. I switched off of Gnome onto Windows after learning that this aspect of my workflow wouldn't need to change. I think this was actually done with Vista?

* Subfolders are opened by clicking instead of hovering. Nothing makes me more frustrated than accidentally mousing over the wrong part of the menu and closing a sub-sub-folder. [hyperbole]Whoever invented mouse-over menus should be shot.[/hyperbole]
I’m not arguing that. I’m arguing that a nociceptor is necessary but not sufficient to argue for pain experience. And plants don’t even fulfil this basic, necessary criterion. So the “type of work” shown in the article isn’t the same kind of evidence conventionally used to argue for pain experience.
> We need vast economies of scale to continue current chip production

They don't actually need current chips, but recreating something along the lines of an early Z80 would be an enormous win for a society which is rebuilding itself from scratch.

> Long enough to bootstrap wind / solar again.

wind power might be actually better for local development. You just need some magnets and some coils and you have electricity to power a few lightbulbs (well, actually someone has to build lightbulbs or leds...)
It’s a good way to avoid traffic throttling as well. VPS providers are doing much different traffic shaping than an ISP.
I think this actually calls for a whole series of tests. Feel free to do a "show HN" with your test plan.
"the Fed reacted with big interest rate hikes that sent the stock market plummeting."

Wat? We're still in of one of the longest bull runs in history. The S&P 500 jumped 80% in the last 5 years. Even incorporating the minor market correction in the last week (2/3rds of which has already recovered), the stock market has done the reverse of what you suggest.
I'm skeptical that this discovery is anything but political. There is far too much psuedo-science recently pushing the idea of non-whites inhabiting Europe before whites. I don't understand the goal of such flaky publishings, but the anti-european sentiment is strong. I'm reminded of the viking with "arabic" jewelry.
> but yeah vast majority of hosting providers will be far more trustworthy than any residential ISP.

I'm not sure we're in the same class of paparazzi-attention as those folks. So there's some excuse for more paranoia from them.
That's true. I've seen these buttons at the Seattle airport, and they were positioned at the door. But that doesn't mean they would have to be there.
Sad not to see Cython getting a mention in this post. It is a superset of Python, so your vanilla code will run just fine, and you can optimize slow parts to native-speed. It's a fantastic tool.

Given my cat has figured out how to open three different kinds of doors (handle, slidding, and even knob) I'm sure they can figure that out.

Hell, my cat seems close to figuring out how to turn on our fire place. She goes and sits by the switch (out of her reach) and meows until we turn it on, then runs across the room to lay by it.

I'm confident given sometime they can count as well. Likely this would help them catch mice and what not, if they know how many there are.
Wait a second. No. You just said, one message upthread, that a reason to pick Telegram was that WhatsApp had a "severe vulnerability for groups" that Telegram didn't have. Forget about the fact that the vulnerability might not have been "severe". Scott points out that you're offering security advice about what group messenger to use despite the fact that you're unaware --- like many people --- that Telegram doesn't encrypt group messages.

Please acknowledge that this happened before continuing to offer more opinions about this subject.

If you're looking for a sub-$100 object with which to capture notes and pull them up later, might I suggest looking at the Boogie Board sync? It's not quite pencil-on-paper, but it's close enough that it doesn't bother me at all.

It can't pull up notes on itself. The resolution is not as fine as a iPencil or ReMarkable. It will only ever display what you've written yourself. The wireless sync only works with its own software (which is, yes, a wtf), so you have to connect with a wire to pull down the files you make.

But you can take notes and make drawings, save them, and download them as PDFs later.
NASA is only trying to keep Mars sterile for 100 years or so, probably doesn't matter much on the scale of terraforming

The non-wage benefit that's increasing the fastest is probably health care benefits, which is likely mostly captured by the middle class, not high net worth individuals.
Regarding other social media, such functionality is longer seen as a perk by users.

Interesting example may be Strava. They seem to be gravitating more towards "social" than "data crunching" kind of app. Nobody in my circles use it as "social" tool. People are not happy they're investing in bullshit functionality rather than fixing long-standing "data crunching" issues. Few mistakes here and there and people may start leaving for less "social" counterparts.

There's little lockin in fitness apps anyway. Strava may be trying to steal a piece of Facebook's cake and solve lack of lockin. But IMO they're shooting themselves in a foot.

I'd like to see computer science taught at a slower pace, especially in the beginning.

I know, I know, standards. And they do matter! But when I was a grad student at Berkeley (not in CS, I just knew someone taking the course), I saw what undergrads go through in their second course in CS (data structures and algorithms), and egads.

I see this as particularly worrisome in CS, because I consider the course to be a bit like teaching Spanish to people who grew up hearing Spanish but answering their parents in English. Yes, technically they are taking an intro course on grammar and writing, and maybe even speaking, but there's a gulf of difference between someone like that and someone who is genuinely new to Spanish (or perhaps has grown up in a monolingual environment).

The reason this is insidious, in my opinion, is that places like Berkeley take smart young people who would be good CS majors, puts them in an "impacted" major that is deliberately trying to shed students, and knocks them out by teaching Data Structures and Algorithms at a brutal pace. I think this is irresponsible, especially in an environment where 1) industry is braying about a shortage of talent, and 2) there are serious questions about low representation from certain demographic groups.

How about you teach data structures form the book, the first time around? Here's a linked list, here's how you code one. Now, let's code a binary tree. Now a hash map. Finally, let's try a graph. Ok, let's redo those an a more interesting context. If you're new to the language we're using, we'll give you the option of taking some time to learn it.

I don't want to lower standards long run, and I'm all for CS remaining a very rigorous major, but I think we lose real talent but running the major this way.

There's also a possibility that Berkeley is atypical, in that it is a program that draws strong students, but unlike an ivy or Stanford, has a lot of undergrads and is trying to weed them out. That may be a rare combination that gave me an unusual impression of what happens to CS majors.

Still, I hear there is a high attrition rate in CS even at elite privates that have more support. I've probably said this enough times, but I'll repeat it once more - I am not in favor of lowering standards too far, just taking it a little slower. I think many students lost to the major would meet these higher standards with a bit more time in the beginning.
NETGEAR Announces Planned Separation of Its Arlo Business
Average human lifespan was dragged down by infant mortality.

Where we have good data, people lived to about the same age as today - or even longer.[1]

See, for example:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2672390/

[1] Obvious caveat that particularly awful periods of history in some locations had bad life expectancies - wars that killed a third of the population, the Black Plague, genocide, etc. The idea that human life expectancy has improved over time is a myth - unless you start counting in 1900. It's gone up and down throughout history, but ours is nothing special.
I think there's several angles on this:

a) the Kindle has/had audio support
b) you might have audio books and want to use the same device to read them as written books
c) text to speech
d) many people read and listen to music at the same time, it might be nice to do that with a single device, especially if you want to sit and relax outdoors with the reader and not have your phone on you
1) Incentives, residential ISPs obviously have a far bigger incentive to try and monetize your traffic.

2) No lock-in for hosting products, way more competitive hosting market, hosting companies have incentive to provide better service than residential ISPs.

3) Residential ISPs tend to have a far bigger attack surface and less trained staff. I hacked many of the worlds biggest ISPs and hosting companies, the ISPs were always running Solaris from a decade ago.

Or both could be the result of a common root cause, for example, a perceived deeper or better understanding of a subject.

- To convey the subject to those of perceived lesser understanding, absolute words are employed to underline the understanding of the speaker and the importance of their insight.

At the same time:

- the unwillingness or incapacity of those of perceived lesser understanding to understand the subject can lead to isolation, anxiety, depression, etc. of the speaker, independent of their use of absolutist language.

For example, take someone who believes the world will end. They will likely speak in absolute words about the event. Other people might shy away from such a person, causing isolation. Absolutism and isolation might interact and reinforce each other, but neither would strictly cause the other.

What teenagers are learning from online porn is simply that the behavior of "shutting myself alone in my room with a computer" leads to (simulated) sexual satisfaction. This is in contrast to every generation before them which learned that the behavior of "being sociable / gaining status in society" leads to (non-simulated) sexual satisfaction. So a million young people learning to shut themselves away from the outside world, I wonder how that's going to work out for the West? I say West, because China bans porn.
