Top Most Expensive Shoe Brands of 2018: From Gucci to Stuart Weitzman
You have to keep in mind that with enough antennas (and enough VERY high bandwidth connections between the antennas - but only has to exist on the service provider side, plus the antennas can be pretty close together and still work) there is, in theory, 2^n interference patterns, each of which is localized. Each of which can transmit data.

If you use the interference patterns to transmit data instead of the signals directly, and you have enough antennas, you have essentially unlimited wireless bandwidth, at least at relatively short range (ie. cells). Granted, doing this for more than 4 or so antennas is currently beyond the capabilities of deployed equipment, but we'll get there.

I don't understand why people keep saying that we won't be able to satisfy bandwidth demand on wireless. We can, and it may be a lot cheaper (esp. outside of the cities).
Why make money in the first place then.
Why you asking that? I suspect it because your username contains 4 letters and Swastika contains 4 wings. It cannot be coincidence, right?

I don't know anything, at all, about this case or much about him except the standard.

But is there any point in bringing it up now? I mean, whether or not he did something illegal/unethical, does this now mean that literally every single time he writes something, someone feels the need to chime in with "but remember that bad thing he did once?".

I'm not saying this isn't a legit conversation or that you're unethical or something for bringing it up... I just really think this isn't the time or place for this.
Why? They did that in WW2 remember.
Amen to this. All these arguments are no different to binge-watching a DVD box set. Hell, if I choose to watch the entire series of something in one or two sittings, that's my choice. I barely use my Netflix subscription, but when I do, it's appreciated - I've discovered many independent movies, some quite low-budget, that I've really enjoyed through it.

Just like any technology, use in moderation is important. Netflix has a great model - low price, tonnes of content, just use it wisely.

It was more PR that delivery. In my area AT&T brought fiber and we were not in an area important enough for Google. Bemoan the big cable and phone companies all we want but they deliver a lot more and quietly. For me any time I read about one of the internet big tech companies rolling out service traditionally performed by older companies as nothing more than a PR grab.

People at work were all excited when the announcement for our major metropolitan area was announced until the areas were given and it was like, what is the point if your in such limited areas?

I know more outside of my metro Atlanta area with fiber than within. that to me is just backwards but I will take it. I like my hick neighborhood and with fiber I can work from home a lot more

Dude holy shit. I wish I could've woke up. I woke up a tiny bit, but I'm still mostly subdued by all the negative thoughts that crept in while I was taking it. These sold-for-profit pills took my adult body away. I can't believe nobody is seeing through this, but big pharma seems to have an incredible PR arm.

Very cool but I do have to laugh at his opening remark, the notch and how everyone hates it. If anything screams that Android phone makers have no imagination it is the notch, suddenly its on their phones.

I do think the notch is bad UI but it can be worked around. I would have more easily accepted a narrower band of black across the top and bottom but Apple isn't losing sales because the rest of the phone's tech is that good.

I do look forward to the day when the components are barely distinguishable from the display.

Show HN: Servitor.io – Server and website monitoring
Hi everyone!

Creator/developer of Servitor.io here, if you’ve got any feedback, comments or questions please ask them. I’m happy to read and answer everything, especially since this is my first SaaS side-project I’m trying to launch and I have much to learn. :)

Servitor was developed mostly to scratch my own itch that there wasn’t a good, reasonably priced and easy product that allowed me to monitor a few of my other side project servers and websites. Although I’m using it myself for a few months now it is still in early stages, so bugs and issues may be there. There are also many improvements on the roadmap, the most important features are: better graphs/Ajax loading, live statistics and more monitors. (Feel free to get in touch if you know an extra feature)

If anyone is interested in the technology stack, it is just plain old Mysql 5.7, PHP7.1 and Laravel 5.5. Instead of blindly using new technologies and running into issues, I decided to use the old-trusted stack and actually try to ship something for once. So far I’m on track I think.

Finally, I’m not a native English speaker, so my apologies for all (stupid) grammar and spelling mistakes. I’m hoping everyone is able to understand me without too much trouble.
Also, imagine if a^2+b^2 was actually equal to c^1.9998724... Your physical model wouldn't be accurate enough to detect that discrepancy.
This is so frustrating and depressing. I'm come from the hobby indie movie production side of things and something like this would be so amazing. I came here all excited to see where I can dip into the technology and this is what I find...two asshole corners of the internet I would never frequent.

Can you imagine Reddit banning Photoshop and all other photo editing technology because a bunch of guys used it to post boobies on photos of women?

I honestly can't believe this even happened.

You mean, it is actually left wing.

But you forgot it's main quality: it's NOT those other guys, all of whom sold out something like 80% of the population to economic integration/Europe when it was made VERY clear they didn't want this.

This guy explains the Southern European experience better than I ever could : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UOlJsmvwxs (while Italy hasn't been quite as bad as Greece, the problems are almost exactly the same. In fact, all of southern Europe has had pretty much the same experience).

(also they're "classic" leftists. A lot of their points are shared with leftists from 50 or so years ago. For instance, they're against global markets. Actually against it. That, of course, also means anti-immigration. I find it much more surprising that other supposedly leftist parties aren't. How can you keep a labour market scarce while allowing for large migration flows ? And keeping labour scarce ought to be the central, almost the only, fight a leftist party wants to win: that's the thing that will allow wages to take up a bigger slice of the pie. There is a fundamental contradiction in being pro-poor and being pro-immigration, it is an unwinnable fight)

And you might say, no you could win the fight for higher wages as a pro-globalization pro-immigration leftist party. And very, very technically you're right. If such parties win every single large population country around the globe (and therefore outsourcing can't go anywhere), then you can do it. As long as there is a country with lots of labour that won't force those wages higher (ie. China, India, Vietnam, ...) most people will lose, a lot, to immigration.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/7112084631 is my 4G home wireless "broadband" plan's speed in suburban Melbourne, Australia. Basically 10/1 Mb which is not great, but still much better than what I was getting with ADSL, and I'll have to wait another year or two until the NBN rollout reaches my house. But by 2020 the mobile networks will be rolling out 5G.

Apart from mailing out the modem to me, my wireless ISP has basically zero marginal installation cost for adding me as a customer, assuming their closest towers have sufficient capacity (they vetted my address first before selling me the wireless modem). And I know for a fact that they're capping my modem's speed in software as my 4G smartphone's connection is much faster. This is why the NBN's CEO said wireless networks are its biggest threat.

At least that’s the warning my pediatrician told me, but apparently that’s second hand so it shouldn’t be mentioned by anyone but a licensed authority.

Yeah, Carmack has a history of unethical behavior. From the book "Masters of Doom":

> Late one night Carmack and his friends snuck up to a nearby school where they knew there were Apple II machines. Carmack had read about how a thermite paste could be used to melt through glass, but he needed some kind of adhesive material, like Vaseline. He mixed the concoction and applied it to the window, dissolving the glass so they could pop out holes to crawl through. A fat friend, however, had more than a little trouble squeezing inside; he reached through the hole instead and opened the window to let himself in. Doing so, he triggered the silent alarm. The cops came in no time.

> The fourteen-year-old Carmack was sent for psychiatric evaluation to help determine his sentence. He came into the room with a sizable chip on his shoulder. The interview didn’t go well. Carmack was later told the contents of his evaluation: “Boy behaves like a walking brain with legs ... no empathy for other human beings.” At one point the man twiddled his pencil and asked Carmack, “If you hadn’t been caught, do you think you would have done something like this again?”

> “If I hadn’t been caught,” Carmack replied honestly, “yes, I probably would have done that again.”

> Later he ran into the psychiatrist, who told him, “You know, it’s not very smart to tell someone you’re going to go do a crime again.”

> “I said, ‘if I hadn’t been caught,’ goddamn it!” Carmack replied. He was sentenced to one year in a small juvenile detention home in town. Most of the kids were in for drugs. Carmack was in for an Apple II.

My schedule is derived from my priorities.

Health - if I'm not healthy, I'm no good to anyone.

Family/Friends - wife first, children second, friends third.

Career/Work/Finances.

Wake up at around 5 every morning.

I wake up around 4:30 - 5 most mornings. That's the time my wife wakes up

As the dev lead, I have to juggle being in the office and interacting with the rest of the team and other departments with actual development. I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursday's.

My wife leaves home at 5:00 and my son wakes up at 6:30. That's the prime time for me to have uninterrupted quiet time.

Monday,Wednesday,Friday

5:00 - 6:30, study, go through my RSS feed, maybe spend some time working on proof of concepts that aren't job related to learn a new technology.

6:30 make sure my son is up, get ready for work.

7:15 - 8:30. Commute to work, listen to podcasts.

8:30 - 6:00 Work

6:00 - 7:15 Commute, call my wife, listen to podcasts.

7:15 - 9:00. Spend time with my wife and son (if he feels like it - typical teenager)

9:00 sleep

Tuesday/Thursday

5:00 - 6:30, study, go through my RSS feed, maybe spend some time working on proof of concepts that aren't job related to learn a new technology.

6:30 - 5:00 Work

5:00 - 6:30 Workout and catch up on TV, watch a PluralSight course, or listen to a podcast. We converted a bedroom to a home gym with weights, a treadmill and an elliptical.

My wife has outside hobbies including going to a fitness classes that are usually on these days. So if I want to work, study, or workout longer these days. I can - especially with no commute.

Saturday/Sunday

No set schedule, but I do workout another 90 minutes both days and might study some depending on what's going on with the family. But after working out, family first.
For case 2, a modern IDE like IntelliJ has completion suffixes. So you can type:

myfunction().var<TAB>

and it would expand to

object i = myfunction();

where i would be highlighted so you can immediately type the name of the variable and when you press enter the cursor is placed after the completed statement.
>I'm partial of the explanation of DP as missing language features.

It is a way to encode basic features in terms of simple standard building blocks: objects. However, I think that explaining everything in terms of objects is a terrible idea. Objects are extremely complex already, it is a bad idea to use them as a basic entity. Just compare lambda semantic rules (there are only three of them for untyped lambda calculus), and an object's semantic. Later is much more complex.

I think that the complexity of objects led to the complexity of patterns, making them verbose and ugly. Just compare visitor and pattern matching, or command and higher order function.

It is true that in more advanced languages having more features patterns become invisible, but I thing they also would become invisible if they were composed of more simple entities.

> I hope the answer makes you sick.

The language in this article is deeply worrying and disturbing. Shame and guilt are tools of religion and cults, and are being wielded here similarly, but given the author's apparent outlook on life—that earning money is the sole purpose and your only value in life is your bank balance—I'm somewhat more inclined to be worried for the author rather than for his potential readers.
> Typically when you make a class. You create additional methods under that class. Those additional methods such as getters, setters, constructors, all need to be unit tested for full coverage. Like I said.

That is great argument for why full coverage is nonsense. Why would you test getters, setters and constructors if they do little?

> Compare the two below

I read and understand both just fine. Moreover, second one must have a place where equivalent of config and client objects go - but I dont see where it is. Or, you added do-nothing config and client objects go to OOP example to make it look worst. OOP example also have address twice, subject twice and message twice.

Here is more equivalent code:

* Class Email(AddressObject, SubjectObject, MessageObject).send_mail()

* func send_mail(msg: str, subject: str, address: str)

> I picked something dead simple and easy so readers can understand what I'm talking about.

The trouble is, that readers dont see it.

The point of functional was analogy.

I am comparing kids vs adults, not people with ADD and without. Kids can react differently than adults. The source of that was my Uncle, which was confirmed by my children’s pediatrician. I don’t know the literature on it, though.

> What's the situation if someone inside the EU lies and tells me that they are not in the EU? Am I in violation of GDPR for keeping forbidden data on them, or does their lying to me count as consent?

I don’t know the answer (interesting idea though). One thought came to mind: If you do it this way, you can only monetise your EU customers indirectly. As soon as you bill them, you’ll probably need to capture their address info at which point you know for sure they are in the EU. Yes you could argue it’s a non-EU citizen using an EU address while not being physically within the EU at the point of the transaction, but I wouldn’t think that would get a free pass in court.

Latest example that Islam and democracy cannot coexist, that doesn't necessarily mean that Islam is bad or democracy is good, but as a middle easterner I find the western lack of understanding Islam and Muslims is mind boggling.
