I would guess the intent was to imply it's due to distracted driving (texting while driving or being on call and getting sufficiently distracted to cause an accident). Though laying it on the doorstep of iPhone specifically is not fair, nothing in iPhone makes it more prone to this than any other smartphone or even dumbphone model.

I also don't know whether the statistics about how many fatal accidents were caused by distracted driving exists (it's kinda hard to ask a person who died in a car accident whether they were texting before or not...) or is reliable. But given the ubiquity of both driving and cellphones, I wouldn't be surprised if there existed some data pointing to the way the parent post suggested. I wouldn't also make any far-reaching conclusions from it as the issues involved are of quite different nature, and the data, as I pointed, is probably very dirty anyway.
You don't know what their only goal is.

At least, they're one of very few sources that report on China negatively from a strategic, big picture perspective. To listen to you, one might think everything they say is a lie, speaking of fake news. I guess that's why you dodged my question.

My understanding is Hillary's nomination came about because she had many of the delegates that don't represent voters, whereas Bernie Sanders had the majority of the votes from those who do represent voters. So, the nomination of Hillary over Sanders was not democratic.
> It doesn't specify exactly how many bears were used in testing, but I counted 7 from the tests they did (6 ejecting from the jet, one on a sled), plus one chimpanzee ejected form the jet. I highly doubt there were hundreds of bears, they cannot have been cheap to acquire or easy to keep.

The number of seven bears fits the comment by Robert Sudderth but isn't a direct contradiction of the other comment by Lauren Anderson that says:

> 'Several hundred' bears were acquired for this purpose, all of which were destroyed 'in or after the testing process, by the testing process or by gun shot to the heart to preserve cranial damage from impacts'.

'Several hundred' and 'in or after the testing process, by the testing process or by gun shot to the heart to preserve cranial damage from impacts' are obviously quotes from the mentioned whitepaper and both make sense. The part between them is in my opinion a misinterpretation by the commenter. Given that the bears had to fulfill some obvious requirements (size and weight) and a lot of not so obvious ones (healthy, no previous injuries, etc.), it wouldn't surprise me if they acquired and examined several hundred bears for the project but ended up using only a few.

I believe the paper you linked to is not the one from the comment above because I couldn't find the quotes.
It's also probably not the one describing the experiments in the original post. The original post talks about "The first live, inflight supersonic test of the escape capsule [which] took place on March 21, 1962". The experiments in the paper you linked took place in 1961 or before. The data it contains regarding the bears are measurements of drop test from various heights (9'9" to 14') and not data from in flight tests.
Of course, ironically, the hack and leak of the DNC emails was part of the effort to "rig" the election for Trump.
The Guardian has an article here https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/24/aggregateiq-... about the links between AIQ and Cambridge Analytica. AIQ were used by the Brexit 'Vote Leave' group which is why the Guardian were looking at them.
Sure, there's plenty of evidence that the attitude to share code existed and that in the beginning nobody even thought you could copyright software. But calling it "open source" is a relatively recent thing.
Of course it doesn't always apply. Of course car regulations (or the aforementioned airline ones) have purpose. Not sure why this physical safety equivalency keeps coming up. You have to take each problem at its face instead of bending to analogies and what-ifs. We have to stop guessing and throwing legislative spaghetti at walls hoping it sticks. There are paths to arrive at legislation, but it's not the first brick in the path.
I really don't think the proposal goes far enough.

Not only should the agency collect and monitor all "leaked data," but it should set clear an detailed regulations on what can be collected, how it must be revealed to the people who it is relevant to ("relevancy TBD"), how it must be removed at the request of those same people, and how it must be amended when (claimed to be) incorrect.

Many of these things are already done by other organizations for subsets of data (e.g., the regulations on credit reports). It just needs to be expanded to all kinds of data.

Europe is way ahead of the USA on this one. As someone managing the implementation of a lot of the GDPR regulations on data access (e.g., "Subject Access Requests") for a small company, I absolutely wish I as a US citizen had the rights to do this stuff to US companies. But, I don't. Sucks to be an American again. Maybe this can fall under MAGA? LOL
Note that it appears there is a 100 registration limit per Google account. And each factory reset changes the ID the phone is registered under. For a lot of ROM folks, this is probably not going to last very long.

It's interesting to see this discussion in parallel with the front-page post about being diagnosed with autism as adults [1].

One of the interviewees describes herself as "being born with the social skills of a used teabag"—I wonder how folks like this factor into the calculus about starting discussions with strangers. What might seem totally fine to some could come off as tone-deaf, inappropriate, or even borderline harassment to others.

Well this is neither bad nor good. Because custom Roms will have a hatch out of it.

This is against something the article itself describes:

> We've actually been unknowing victims of illicit Google app distribution here at Ars before. We once imported a Xiaomi Redmi 3 smartphone from China to review, and, upon booting it up, we were very surprised to find it came with the Google apps pre-installed. As a device from China, this should not have happened. After we posted the review, Xiaomi contacted us with some very scary news: "The Redmi 3 should not come with Google Play pre-installed because it is a China-only product." Xiaomi told Ars. "It is very likely that the Play Store you saw was preinstalled by the importer/seller. This is a very common practice with the unauthorised importers."

> This would mean the reseller opened our phone, unlocked the bootloader, flashed on a new ROM with Google Play, re-locked the bootloader, and stuck the phone back in the box. There was no obvious evidence that our device had been tampered with, and, while hopefully the seller only installed Google apps, they could have just as easily loaded malware onto the device. A message like this during setup would have been a big red flag that something was wrong.

Which I find quite disturbing. That a seller (even on Amazon) could import cheaper "china" only phones and sell it to me as the EU/US version. (it's basically incorrectly labeled)

Having always been careful about ensuring that my Android phones don't accidentally get logged into any Google account, I'm all for this change and glad that Google is actually making life easier for once.
It's only cheap if you assume that today's margin and growth rate will continue uninterrupted.

If margins get squeezed, or if growth slows, or both, the valuation is in jeopardy.

The average user spends 43 minutes per day on Facebook. Last quarter, users spent 2 minutes less per day.

What happens if Facebook is perceived as mildly toxic to many users?

Just like people used to drink gallons of carbonated high-fructose corn syrup every week, almost overnight most people decided that's not healthy, and soda sales have declined every year for 12 years straight.

What if something similar happens to Facebook? If a year from now people are spending 25 minutes a day instead of 40, what happens to the margins and growth rate that justify a $500B valuation?
excuse me, take a step back just one minute.

you cannot make a false statements as "And 3x that number that are vacant for pretty questionable reasons" and then turn around and use the sympathy card as justification by stating that what someone is doing with the property they rightfully own as "morally questionable". by doing so, you are no better than the author of the article in my eyes.

i don't like it either that people are sleeping on the streets while these places are "uninhabited" for whatever reason, but the people who own these places have the right to do with them whatever they want.

If Roy Fielding wanted developers to fully grasp whatever he was talking about with REST, he should have written a normative spec, not a dissertation, he didn't.
You are on HN, and likely reasonably technically inclined. You would probably pay attention to instructions that indicate that it might not be accurate during the first 12 hours of use. You would know to be a bit skeptical of readings that show hypoglycemia during that time, and might either do a fingerstick to check or just ignore it.

There are many users who would not. They might make a rash decision based on that data. If the data is in Zone B a larger percentage of the time in testing, in much wider general use there will likely be cases that weren't caught in clinical trials in which it could land in Zone C.

During this 12 hour calibration window, you can still use fingersticks, which you have to do for calibration purposes with other CGMs anyhow. And it likely would be a fairly minor change for them to support doubling up on sensors, so that you could overlap them in order to avoid the 12 hour window; but that change would require further testing and approval, so for now the 12 hour calibration window is left in. It was only fairly recently approved with this 12 hour calibration window, so I wouldn't be surprised if the company is working on support for pairing two sensors to one device to support doubling up like this.
Amen. Bragging about having a large repo is showing the world that you can't design large software systems.

Just like creating branches in Git is cheap, creating repos in Git is just as cheap. The difference is that you need actual design and engineering discipline to version your interfaces and manage those dependencies.

Having a kitchen-sink repo is poor engineering, and massive code smell.

Nitpick: Sure it can, but it's a corner case. You can recognize revenue one quarter, and have to issue a refund to a client another quarter. If that was your only revenue, you have negative revenue for the second quarter. :)
Yes. I have recently been diagnosed and am not "shy" or "socially anxious" yet I tend to avoid social interactions because they don't tend to go well unless they have some sort of typical "script", or some sort of structure around them (e.g. an interview, MC-ing, a meeting). I could go into the differences in some depth but it may prove boring.

I create a sample project based on real world coding problems we face everyday. The actual class is a skeleton with non working methods and comments describing what the methods should do.

I then have another test class with simple failing unit tests. They have to write the code to make the tests pass.

Then I give them more complicated failing unit tests that they also have to make pass without causing the first set of test fail.

We do pair coding and they can ask me any business question they have if they don't understand a requirement.

They can use Google if they need to during coding.

> As GIT was to DVCS...

?

Git did not create a novel concept. For one, it was written nearly contemporaneously to Mercurial, which is DVCS too and uses a very similar if not identical model. SemVer is a similar story too. It was not like before it people were using /dev/random to number their releases.

I really like the fact that Go is catching up in this area, but I fail to see the revolution everybody's talking about here.
The political backlash could make such a withdrawal rather temporary. Which would IMO push Google into staging such a withdrawal.

This seems like the NY times continuing anti-SV coverage. For example, while Santa Clara has some number of super-fund sites supposed the most in the country, would we expect this based on historical manufacturing GDP? Is it out of line?

There seems to be a suggestion of something sinister about Silicon Valley with mentions of the work culture--as though it was monolithic--and calling it toxic. Commenting on the clothes people wear--to what end? can't trust a guy who wears a hoodie?

I'm not sure social media is so much worse if this is journalism.
It's indeed a rare breed that can, especially when the checks come with nine zeros.
Top-down direction (feedback) can only be effective when grounded in reality, and to do this you must be approachable to your direct reports, hence fairly hands-off during day to day operations so that your presence in a meeting impacts it minimally - only then can you gather accurate information to give effective direction and feedback.

Team directives are "here are our goals, what's the best way to make them happen?, alas at the individual level, "management style" doesn't fly. Your team will be full of people each of whom take feedback differently and must be approached differently if you want to be as effective as possible.

Your goals as a manager are almost always best met by enabling your team via reducing their stress levels and providing them with the tools they need.

Do this, and they will meet whatever (usually pointless) goals or KPI's the brass uses to evaluate your performance.

The following example shows that many keywords are different and the syntax is different as well. Not to mention the rest of the language (standard library which is given when talking about python and things like iterators/iterables/decoratos/comprehension/... If indent-based blocks are all it takes for you to call two languages similar, then I guess they are.

Kernel versus vast monorepo of most of the OS, many of its pack-in apps, etc. I've heard it said the core NT Kernel itself is mostly on par with the Linux Kernel, it's when you consider all the other things that are a part of Windows when it gets that huge. (Also why much of the work in GitFS the team did was making sure that partial checkouts work well, because few people need a work tree of the entire thing at once.)
Probably not directly. Indirectly though that can do lots of things. Google will find it hard to sell ads if their salesmen are not allowed to physically enter the EU (and the ones currently in the EU are told their job is illegal - though how that works is an open question). In short the EU do lots of things to harass the EU operations until they decide they have to break up.

> My understanding is Hillary's nomination came about because she had many of the delegates that don't represent voters, whereas Bernie Sanders had the majority of the votes from those who do represent voters.

This is incorrect. Clinton had a majority of the pledged (primary/caucus-determined) delegates, though not an absolute majority of all delegates based on super delegates alone.

The early huge advantage in unpledged “superdelegates” played a role in media coverage and the perception of inevitability, and no doubt helped her win, but she got more of the delegates selected by voters than Sanders did.
For an alternate perspective you might find persuasive, I recommend you read through the following slide deck: http://www.sqlite.org/talks/wroclaw-20090310.pdf. (Relevant part starts on slide 80, but I recommend you start from the beginning for full context.)
Personally I think there may be better ways to spend money, but it's interesting that tuition-free college, which is the norm in europe, is considered something the US "can't afford" while a 700 billion dollar increase in military spending is passed without blinking an eye by people who've spent 8 years complaining about deficit.

The huge money sink in the US budget is undoubtedly the military. After the current increase the US probably spends more on military than the next 13 or 14 countries combined. If that can be reduced to spending about 2.5x what China spends(still overkill considering the allies the US has) then you have about 350 billion a year to either spend or reduce the deficit with. More than enough to eliminate child hunger, healthcare problems and infrastructure issues.

I don't think they really can. Effectively, they'd have to block Google in the EU. Otherwise, Google can technically just stay in the U.S. and sell services. Ad's don't have to be location based, pretty sure a lot of advertising is elicit materials (such as porn) anyway - which already may not be allowed.

Unless you stop people from just heading to the top search engine in the world, they'll keep using it.
Shorter code may or may not make things more readable. If brevity was the key to readability, we'd all be minifying all code we write to make it more readable.

Readability is about clarity of intent and function, as well as sensible structure. Sometimes that means writing slightly more code with more expressive naming so that the code is easier to follow. Sometimes that means using a given language's shortcuts to condense things down.
