The experience might not be always better. An 8K (~IMAX, usually 4k though) screen and Dolby Atmos beat out what I have in my house that's for sure, but I concede that's usually overridden by noisy neighbors. But, I can chose any theater. The large players like AMC, Edwards, or even some smaller cinemas like iPic, or even Alamo drafthouse.

And you know what? When it leaves that theater, it's available on DVD or Bluray. It's available sometimes on iTunes, Netflix, or Amazon. I (usually, if it's popular enough) don't have to pick and choose what distribution channel I need to subscribe to so that I can actually watch the darn thing. If it's in theater, I can at least usually get it on DVD.

None of that applies with anything Amazon or Netflix create. (EDIT: crysin informed me that yes, Netflix has released a couple TV shows on Bluray; I didn't know that! Thanks!) It's locked down to only their platforms. I can't get the DVD to watch independent of their platforms. If they pull the content one day, it's gone, forever. If they want to one day charge an extra surcharge to watch these movies, I'll be forced to pay. If one day Netflix decides to sell the distribution rights for Okja to Amazon, well now I have to leave Netflix to go watch it.

No one benefits from these walled distribution platforms, except Amazon and Netflix. The consumer gets screwed, and judging by a lot of the comments on this site, not many people seem to mind, probably because they're already subscribed to both.

Depends on how you put in the data.

If you do it all at once it’s trivially easy. They know a person doesn’t just become a new person overnight.

If you commit to creating an elaborate fake personality by doing things your fake self would do, it can be harder, but not impossible. Certainly not a problem for some of the greatest minds in Silicon Valley.

Miniaturizing a QWERTY keyboard is a waste of space. Physical buttons do, however, add a lot of value to a phone.

Apple was not correct about key input, just as they were not correct to remove the TRRS audio jack. They make a lot of decisions that force the market towards where they want it to be, and then people put up with it because they feel they have no viable alternatives. Those who say they like what Apple does might just be loving the one they're with, because they can't have what they love.

Locke and Demosthenes
My first thought on student loans is this: Why can't I as a retail investor get a taste of that federally guaranteed 7% return?

Oh right, because it's a racket meant to favor insiders who are already fabulously wealthy. It must be nice to be so rich that you can make it effectively illegal for anything to make you less rich or even to make you get more rich more slowly.
The debt isn't forgiven, the private companies that made the loans are paid by the feds. These programs are windfalls for banks that make what would otherwise be highly-speculative loans. There is a large economic incentive for students to take out loans they'll never repay and shift the burden onto the tax payer.

If universities were 'loaning' the tuition money to students directly, that perhaps could be 'forgiven' as no money has actually changed hands.

The whole system needs an overhaul, same with secondary education. Make the education free to all by eliminating the 'nice to haves' and focus on the 'need to haves.'

iPad === status++

Still? Maybe it's because I live in a nice upper middle class area and have nice upper middle class friends, but I don't think anybody, at any age, sees the iPad as a status symbol.
The key word in first bit of my post is "court". I think standing in front of a judge and explaining that your choice of 1,383,929,380 is "creative" is, well, something you're welcome to try.

The real key point is in the second half, though. Arguing over whether or not a particular micro-decision is "creative" is the entirely wrong track to be taking when we're discussing something that is functional, that performs some real task in a way that a movie or song simply does not. Why would we expect standards based on "creativity" to apply to that in any sensible way?
You also probably have an active partner, probably don’t have kids or some sort of disability, don’t have to go see family out of town, etc., etc. A car gives you a lot more freedom than public transport and is definitely cheaper than taxis (or Uber) for the average person.
Perhaps companies contracted to provide data processing services should be required to check that the source of the data was legitimate and within the allowances of data protection regulations.

Just like AML rules, where companies processing large amounts of funds have to check the source of the funds to ensure they were obtained legitimately.
Obviously it needs to be smarter. As for motion tracking, it might have gotten confused as the victim stopped moving. But I’m just not sure that the issue was the sensors or object detection.
Just take that in for a second. We have no idea who much the left, and others, has essentially capitulated to the 21st century's version of the particular authoritarian socialists that called themselves National Socialists in that incarnation.

What people don't realize is that just like the cancer of communism did not die with the fall of the Soviet Union, the authoritarian socialist brethren did not die with the fall fo the National Socialist or Italian Fascists in Europe. Fact of the matter is that they became even more dangerous through the cure illusion, the delusion that the problem is solved, the illness is gone after stabilization through medication or treatment has been achieved. We thought that communism died with the fall of the USSR and socialist authoritarianism died with the Nazis and Fascists, but reality is that we simply ignored them and acted as though everything was fine again, and as we took our eye and attention off them, they grew even more perniciously and secretly than they ever could when they were as overt and blunt and brutish about it.

The communists and socialists are at the gates and the mentally ill and delusional and feeble minded liberals of western society are throwing open the gates in a state of utter manic derangement.

This will all not work out the way people fantasize. There will be no happy happy fun time under a fantasy lie of sharing and caring and singing kumbaya together. At best, the elite will totally and utterly dominate and control the world and the people in it far more akin to how the elites did so before the American Revolution; worst case is that the elite ... as they always do ... push the structures of society beyond their breaking point and total and utter collapse and destruction results.

It never seems to dawn on anyone that the elite, the "educated", the academics, the scholars, the "learned", the technocrats, the atheists are always the ones that cause the sheet destruction they always do. It's never the common people. There's not a single example of regular, common people that the aforementioned have such distain and contempt for that have every in all of human history every caused even remotely the level of destruction and depravity as the elite and their sycophantic ilk.
That sounds complicated and expensive, I think there will instead be a number of preferred cars in service, some for 1 baby, some for 1 small kid, some for 1 baby and 1 small kid, some for 2 small kids... or simpler, family cars with 2 variable kids‘ seats installed.

I sincerely believe this is something new and interesting. Suggesting someone has acted based on a subconscious psychological affect is less insulting than accusing someone of conscious or deliberate error (which happens routinely on HN), is it not? Which has the harsher punishment, second degree murder or first?

Serious question. Would you deny that there has been a noticeable decline in objectivity of commentary in the last year? I can agree singling one person out could be considered harsh, but make an honest effort to ignore the perceived "rudeness", is the failure of basic logic not a little striking here? If the topic wasn't controversial, do you think a similar situation would arise?

I take what you say seriously, and kindly ask for the same consideration in return.

It really, really does if you look at the challenges of making either fusion or space based solar power cheap enough in real life. In fact, it's so easy we're already doing it in places. For the other two, we're decades away from useful commercial output.

I've also done considerable calculations about space-based solar power. It's obvious why Elon Musk doesn't consider it a good idea. Even if your launch is free. (I still hope people try to make it work, though...)

I don't think it's much of a stretch to call it abuse.

Imagine this was a person-to-person thing. Person A wants person B to consent to something person B does not want to consent to. And let's not beat around the bush here: we're all thinking of something sexual right now. A repeatedly asks B, and no matter how many times B says no, A claims that B said "maybe later". B does not get to say "fuck off" unless B somehow quits A altogether.

Now that is messed up enough already, but what these forms do is give you no other option than answer "maybe later". That's a level above putting words in someone's mouth that I am sure would be considered a form of violation if someone in a position of power could do that to someone else.

And that very much applies here: I don't get to create the pop-ups in an app or on a website, so the app-makers are abusing a position of power here.

The Fraud and the Four-Hour Workweek
Let's make chatbots great again
Ask HN: Young but serious developer, do I stay in college?
I've been programming since I was 9, and started my professional career a few years after that. I'm quite skillful in several languages/fields within Computer Science, and have taken a few products from concept to production as a technical lead. I hate to sound like I'm bragging - I don't mean to. I just want to set the stage a bit.
I'm 18 now and I'm in my first year of college. I love Computer Science: my only hobby is programming, and I love doing it professionally. However my career has always been in between school. At first middle school, then high school, and now college. Each step gives me more free time to work, which is great. Over the summers and during breaks I work a normal 9-5. And I love it. Even after a 90 minute commute each way each day, for months during the hot summers, I love what I do at work and I find developing new technologies is always exciting. But thats in between school. I've come to the conclusion that most classes are just incompatible with my personality. For whatever irrational reason, when I'm forced to learn something (as opposed to learning it on my own terms), even a subject which I love dearly, becomes a drudgery for me. Tests make me dread even thinking about a subject, and when I inevitably (no matter how hard I study) get a poor test grade, it makes me despise the subject entirely until the feelings from the class subside and I can develop my own joy for the subject again.

And of course, there's the money. However I make a pretty serious salary at my current job. If I was able to work full time, I'd be earning ~$100k/yr. College however, is ~$55k/yr. If I had to take out student loans it wouldn't even be a question for me, however my parents are paying for college.

So HN, help me out here. Is it worth staying in college? I quite a few years of professional experience at a few different companies, it's becoming hard to justify staying.

Also interesting is that black girls reach the top income bracket (individual) at a much higher rate than white girls. However, it flips when you look at household. Which makes me assume that white girls are finding wealthy partners, while black girls aren't.

Imagine that at different points in time, the confidence in your persona can be quantified. Say at some point in time last year they were 89% confident of the type of person you were, but today after months of using a ton of random fake likes and clicks they are only 16% sure.

They could choose to ignore low confidence measurements and still assume you are the same person from that point in time last year. Given that they can measure the standard rate of change in people’s interests (per interest even), and how quickly interests fall out of style, they can then extrapolate how relevant certain ads might be for you today based on your old data.

Imagine that. They don’t just own your data today, they own all the forecasts of your data for years to come. Go home and sleep on it.

And yet again, this is nothing to do with Facebook but the global advertising industry that is largely unregulated and has no consequences.

There is the FTC (in the US) and guidelines for TV, radio, print work well enough along with the natural time and effort barriers, but digital advertising has far greater reach, scale, and precision with almost 0 oversight. This must be fixed with actual consequences (as in prison time for offenders who run scams and malware) otherwise nothing will change.

China's territorial expansion in the South Pacific and support of anti-American political parties in e.g. Cuba and Venezuela is certainly enough to warrant Stephen Colbert's suggested title "frenemy", not to mention their continued international temper tantrums over the status of Taiwan.

It should be noted that the US put an end to colonial expeditions in China with the Open Door Policy in 1899. The "Century of Humiliation" article enumerates complaints about the colonial expeditions but does not mention any US actions or the ODP, the latter, I assume, being considered not humiliating. It's hard for me to imagine why the US should be lumped in with Britain/France/Russia/Japan in the period before 1949. After that we were at Cold War, of course.
Strictly speaking, Java isn't used in Android. There is no JVM in Android, and there never was. It doesn't run Java bytecode. Java ends where dex translates Java bytecode. In recent version of Android, there's another layer where Dalvik bytecode is compiled to the target architecture.

So don't think of Java being in Android. The Android toolchain uses Java, but the Android runtime is not a Java runtime.

For one thing, this makes it different from Amazon using an Oracle Java runtime. But the total set of differences is deep and significant.

GDPR is very popular here on HN, but I think it's important to keep a level head about what it actually does and what its real-world effects will be. That is the entire point of this thread, after all.

The difference between "not having a breach" and "a legal obligation to announce it within three days" is not semantic. It is absolutely material to the real-world value of GDPR, and claims about it should reflect that.

Sure, fine. But this is the world as it is. Badly designed roads everywhere - very, very occasionally with enough accidents one gets fixed. (Keep an eye on local news for that one).

I'm guessing here, but here's a go:

Symbolically would mean that it represents something to do with the human condition. In the case, I would imagine, he means that the design of cathedrals and great music both tap into some kind of perfect or balanced thing in humans. Such a thing is something to aim for, or towards. Its how we cant write a recipe to how to write great (not just good, but the real stuff that makes your hair stand on end) music - and that sense of awe we feel in a cathedral. And both are man made and not a natural beauty.
