> I suspect this was inevitable given Disney's obsession with removing friction.

Yeah, I would say it's this 100%. Disney wants people to leave their wallets at their hotel. The RFID band they give you can be used for everything from entering your hotel room to getting into the park and your rides (including Fastpass) to even paying for things if you link a credit card.

Obviously, it's easy to take the band off and give it to someone else, so they needed some other way to check if you're the person who originally used the ticket. Hashes based on fingerprints are unique enough to be the replacement to traditional IDs.
Lots and lots of simulation :).

Part of it too is that you actually have a different set of problems. Let's say you build and abstract "Foo" block. In programming land you only pay for that block when your branch that selects it runs. Each line of code that references it just is the cost of a single opcode/asm call.

In FPGA/ASIC land each time you reference that block you're instantiating a physical copy of the block. So if your block takes 8-bits of SRAM and you have 300 references(or parent blocks that fan out to 300 references) you're now paying 2.4kB of SRAM from a fixed pool that's usually only a few mB.

Ditto switching logic, one of the fun parts of FPGA bring-up is they can have large in-rush currents of many amps as all the LUTs get flipped to their programmed state. You also have power(and usually thermal that's tied together) budgets driven by how much switching logic you run per-cycle.

It really has a lot more in common with more traditional engineering domains where planning, simulation and strong math models are the standard tools.
IANAL, but keeping double books should land you in prison, as simple as that.

Vancouver SkyTrain opened in 1985 and was fully automated from day one. The rolling stock used on the majority of the system (Bombardier ART) was specifically designed for driverless operation.

Interestingly, at the time the Vancouver SkyTrain was undergoing construction, the same tech was being installed in Toronto for the Scarborough rapid transit line. The transit union in Toronto opposed automation, so the trains had to be specially modified to add operator cabins so the trains could be driven manually. Vancouver was able to get away with it because the system was a greenfield project, there was no union of subway workers around already to oppose automating the trains.

In the UK the primary change I can tell from a customer perspective is that they shifted processing of orders to be done by the customer. You can order by app or on the touchscreens in store, or there's a single checkout that is only manned on demand - the cashier has drink prep duties, possibly others too (icecreams I think).

This means in my local McDo they've cut the checkouts from 5 down to 1, got rid of probably 2 staff on checkout and pushed that work to customers. They've restructured to make processing more optimised - previously the cashier gathered all items for the order, including packing fries. Now one person does all drinks for all customers and puts them on a stand, sandwiches seem to work the same as before, though they've more specialised ovens from what I can tell. The person picking the order does the fries I think, depending on customer volume.

I know in drive-thru that the person taking orders on the intercom has other duties, that must be a burn-out role, picking orders and doing a customer facing role at the same time (ie in parallel).

Wait time to get food is longer IME (I go about once a month), definitely longer than Burger King now when McDo used to be shorter. If you want to pay cash you have to wait for the checkout too, even when there are no customers ahead of you.

None of this is to do with automated machines (AFAICT) but it makes jobs more easy to shift to machines, eg prepping drinks and placing them on the stand ready to pack in to individual orders.

There’s zero evidence of quantum mechanical effects playing a role in any aspect of cognition. Worse, the classical model suffices. Far worse, the review you cited has been thoroughly trashed.

https://cyber.sci-hub.la/MTAuMTEwMy9waHlzcmV2ZS42MS40MTk0/te...

The “quantum mind” is just another case of quantum mechanics being used as the new woo of choice where “because God said so” wouldn’t be well received. Believe me, I’d love to discover that we’re not just meat hurtling towards our own extinction, but the evidence doesn’t bear out a rosier hypothesis. Even with the surprising duration of coherent state in “hot” systems, the human brain is a poor candidate for a quantum mechanical system, and the math strongly supports that. Where quantum mechanics is concerned, math is God.
This may confirm my memory of 2/3 trains hurtling at what I recall as much faster speeds in the early 90s.
Thanks, more editor power planned.
We don't say the same thing about egyptian pharohs and embalming. We consider it a very interesting treasure of history. I'm sure if embalming was a process that let us revive ancient people, we'd do so because we'd really want to learn from them.

1. It says Apple Music since you haven't paid for a subscription.

2. Mostly because of 1. But the rest is because when you scroll that white space changes to show the title.

3. This is to be consistent with the other sections.

4. This is a standard list view used across all of iOS. What exactly are you expecting Apple to do here ?

5. This might be to do with your phone or font size. The white spacing isn't that large on iPhone X.

By all means write a blog but my suggestion would be to buy the app first just so you have the proper experience. And then appreciate that Apple designs their phones for a very broad audience i.e. think grandparents. Maximal density of information is not something most people want.

We're using Firebase for our back end which requires either an email or phone number for the user. However, if you want to be sly you could just put in another username in there and it should/could still work (don't hold me on that). Just means we can't contact you with email so push notifications are hopefully turned on.
What if there's less to it? What if consciousness is just an illusion, "you" only really exist in the moment, and the feeling of a connection to the "you" of a moment ago and the "you" to come in the next moment doesn't reflect an actual continuing independent existence?
I don't shop at Amazon so that I can rent things for free. I've also never had a problem with a B&M store accepting returns.

Perhaps someday, a B&M store's algorithm will flag me as a problem customer. It's just as likely that Amazon will, though.
It's a great resume padder.
The thing is, ALL other voice assistants I have tested get this right. I have submitted three reports to Alexa support about this very thing and they don't care. It's ridiculous that doing something that is so common would be so ingratiating.
Couldn't you just put it in your will? EG that I leave $X to whoever supplies the right password? You would also need to leave money to your new self I suppose.
Holy shit, that first one is so annoying. I don't understand how even the shoddiest of voice assistants on the market get it right but Alexa doesn't.

Before anyone mentions intro.js. Let me add the details myself on how it is different and why I made it.

Intro.js is only for the introductions and didn't allow that level of extensibility. I scratched my own itch with it. This one is much more than just introductions:

Unlike intro.js which is only for introductions, you can use this one at any place where you want some sort of overlay for the page. For example, in the application that I am working on, I had several places where I wanted to put an overlay on top of the whole page, except a component (the way facebook does while creating posts), I couldn't do that with intro.js.

I wanted the hooks to manipulate the highlighted element for when it is highlighted or the highlight is removed, again couldn't do that with intro.js

I wanted to shift the user's focus to some component on the page in my app and then remove the overlay once it has been done, couldn't do that.

And on top of all that, intro.js isn't free for commercial use. Driver.js is MIT licensed, is community driven and free for both personal and commercial use.

PS. I originally made it using Canvas but there seemed to different behavior and lots of compatibility issues, I just ported it to HTML/CSS to make it more performant and have less compatibility issues. Details here: https://github.com/kamranahmedse/driver.js/pull/10
A better term would be tart. It's extremely acidic.
>Everything has a reason - if you can't explain "WHY", you shouldn't be designing UI .

oh UI design in such an app always has a why

Before doing any modification on the UI of such an app, a lot of attention is given to user data.

It can't be completely objective because at the end of the day any interpretation of user data is at least a bit subjective (and generally way more than that). It does aim at being data driven though.
From this and other similar responses of yours here I think that you do not have a convincing way to resolve the obvious problem with the absolutist 'i can do whatever i want with my research' stance that people here pointed out to you. So you do whataboutism directed at vendors, misrepresent people's arguments or try to pivot the discussion. Perhaps it is time to write less and let the discussion sink in a little. You may find a better way to argue your point, or even find you no longer want to do that.
If you are sincerely interested in the topic, starting by being dismissive and disrespectful of the individual you are addressing is not an effective means to start a good discussion.

I did a research paper in high school on Functional Hypoglycemia. Chronic low blood sugar is known to promote anxiety and paranoia. I've blogged about managing various somatopsychic side effects with diet, such as eating oranges for the vitamin c while enduring random fits of rage to get that under control and eating beef with potatoes to mediate the salt lithium connection and calm bipolar-like mood swings.

But I am not interested in fighting some uphill battle to convince a skeptic who is just pissing all over me with every reply. So I had no reason to stick my neck out and share any of that. I get enough flak from the world for managing my medical condition with diet and lifestyle.

Have you ever worked with a code base before? Even when you scrutinize for bugs, they still can go unspotted. Sometimes hundreds of people can look at the same code and not see anything wrong with it. Software has the benefit of having higher levels of abstraction, I haven't designed any hardware but as far as I'm aware it's not easy to abstract it. That will make it much harder to find things. While 4 guys in a basement may have found this vulnerability, it doesn't mean they will find every vulnerability or that anyone else would have this as they had. Throwing money at verification will not make it fool proof.
Youtube already takes down anything they dislike.
Definitions such as "hate speech" include literally all possible speech that is critical of anything, at any degree.

Their preferred weapon though is de-ranking. This is the American model of censorship, and it really does work. Why bother going after people who speak up, when instead you can make sure nobody can hear them? You think the video is up, you can share it with your close friends, but nobody else will discover it. It's also super convenient for them because they move the majority of content in coldline storage almost right away. It's not just Youtube either, it's Google, Facebook, Twitter and all their subsidiaries. We need a massive change in the way the internet is structured, both technically and legally, if we want the open web back.
It's something everybody else would want because its unreasonably difficult to deal with autistic people. I have sympathy for those who can't help it but that sympathy evaporates the second there's a cure.

Cancers have common traits: spreading uncontrollably, metastasizing - these are what make cells cancerous.

But cells from different specialized tissues tend to become cancerous in different ways, by expressing different genes. So a treatment that targets a particular gene expression may work for one type but not others.

And a cancer that returns after treatment will have yet a different gene expression (usually resistant to that particular treatment).

Like the Borg, cancer adapts. That's why it's called the Emperor of all maladies: http://www.pbs.org/show/story-cancer-emperor-all-maladies/
Thanks - this was very interesting. Bearing in mind that I only went on what I've heard anecdotally (never tried rust), I was frankly surprised that as someone who has domain experience in web development (in what I thought were "easier" languages) you did not feel frustration at Rust "on-boarding". So you definitely countered what I thought.
If it's not a huge change I'd rather suggest a fix while I'm in middle of something so that I don't have to update internal company documentation + code comments for special cases.

>I worked at Wendy's during the 1980's (high school) and it wasn't bad. Minimum wage and all, but any problems you encountered started and ended on the same day, so stress wasn't really an issue.

That's the whole point of this article though. The workers in a busy McDonalds restaurant today are being expected to make 10x the output you did as a teenager in the 80's for wages that are less than what you made, inflation adjusted. A line cook in 1985 made about $4.50/hr, which is $10.50 in 2018 dollars [0]. In 2018, federal minimum wage is $7.25, and the are plenty of McDonalds employees making that much across the country.

If these are automated, though, they can be done in parallel. A camera pointed at the propellers can be checking them for cracks at the same time that another camera is checking that control surfaces actually move.
The chart in the article shows that productivity is up, so presumably they can and should be paid more. Turnover may continue until that happens. Market working as intended?
Usually, the fraud doesn't involve with managers. Usually cashiers or customer service folks in the return counter collude with customers: switching upc codes to swap a high price item with a low price one. LP (loss and prevention) usually focus more about this kind of collusion than a random $10 theft.

In a case I know of, LP colluded with the customer service manager to steal $10K cash, by shifting the camera focus from the money counting area. In this case, both the LP manager and the customer service manager got fired, and, of course, without any charges, since there is no proof.

At Fry's electronics, to return a product, LP has to key in his password as well. If the price of returned product is more than $300, LP and some other manager have to key in their passwords.
The adults working at McDonald's as crew today are people who can't get a job anywhere else, or in some cases retirees looking for something to do or a little extra spending money.

I was the same as you, in the eighties I worked at McDonald's and it was pretty fun. 90% of the staff were under 25 years old and most were in school. Either college or still in high school. You could have interesting conversations while you worked and the menu was vastly simpler so it was pretty easy to get the hang of doing everything.

Yeah the pay wasn't great but there wasn't much else a young person could do that paid more, and very few people were trying to support a family or even fully support themselves. There was healthcare for full-timers but it really wasn't as big a deal then. People did not freak and think it was the end of the world not having insurance, and in any case many of them were probably still covered by their parents.

I'm actually surprised debian repos are still HTTP.

Don't get me wrong GPG signatures with pinned public key is a lot better than trust TLS of a random mirror.

But isn't it nice to have two layers, the two key systems are independent and orthogonal that seems like a solid win.

Need I remind of Heartbleed (openssl) or the very debian specific gpg key derivation bug years ago.

There will always be bugs, we can only hope they aren't exposed concurrently :)
