I’m still bummed the mini seems to be dead. It’s a great size for hauling around.
Perhaps instead the minds of drivers diffuse into their cars. That's already true for maps.

Pedestrians' minds rely on things like Walk signs and sidewalk texturing.
My kids have school-issued iPads and type reports with the on-screen keyboard filling half the screen. They're totally used to it. They seem to prefer the iPad to using a chromebook.
It does sound similar
Every proximity based social media platform I've seen in the past (for example like a little and yik yak) has dissolved after the platforms became forums for harassment and solicitation of illegal activities. Mind you, those were anonymous.
That's what has been said of Uber's code as well. Hope-based safety doesn't seem to be working.
I thought ViaCAD was pretty good and have had it around for 6 years. I guess it does depend on what you need though.
Why do articles involving the space program always go on about cost? When the military develops a plane for more than a hundred times over that, no one bats an eye.

I have to wonder if the lack of exposure towards military spending is one of the reasons it gets so much funding.

I live in the rural South and although it may sound ridiculous to you, I've met more people here that believe all of the inflammatory, fake nonsense they read on FB than I have that don't. They use it as a primary source of news and they allow it to shape their view of the world and therefore their beliefs on certain political policies. While it's difficult to quantify with a specific percentage, there were absolutely a large number of people tricked, in the literal sense, into voting for Trump. These are the people that are Ill informed enough to think that women are certain to get raped by a pack of muslims if they ever try walking down a street anywhere in Europe.

Note: Surely this doesn't account for everyone that voted for Trump, but it is possible that it made enough of an impact to change the outcome.
This is the same price as the 2017 iPad - what about this one makes you want to buy it vs buying the previous model last year?

edit: I guess not having pencil support last year was a dealbreaker for several people
Where? We're not talking servlets or EJBs here right? Adoption across combination of OS & browser was and continues to be an issue.

Both Microsoft and Apple made it difficult in different ways, and the "year of linux on the desktop" has yet to really come (no ChromeOS don't count)
This is the sort of article that I keep coming back to HN for. It's not politics. It's pure and simple technical advice with reasonable back and forth opinions from the community (other than the "if you want to impress me" guy). And nobody wants to take my 2A right, sorry, my right to use 2FA!
Apple’s new 9.7-inch iPad offers Pencil support for $329
Yes... yes, they do.

Most of them use iPhones too.
I am happy to hear that you had a chance to attend a new school with accepting and empathetic people.

You know, after Parmadale something similar happened with me. I ended up moving in with my Dad in Indiana and attended a new community high school out there. I was still one of the weird kids (and hung out with the Goths and Nerds), but the bullying stopped and I had a chance to be happy and to focus on schooling. I think a lot of who I am today is a result of that decision to be with my Dad for awhile and to be given the chance at a fresh start.

> I've overcome a lot less than you and I am proud of it, I can't imagine how proud you must be.

I wouldn't sell yourself short. ;p Anyone who's fighting a personal struggle no matter how big, or how small should feel good about winning. I think telling others that these battles can be won has the benefit of reminding those still struggling that they can win too. :)

I'm proud of you!
I just meant to point out that "regulation" on its own isn't inherently helpful. We shouldn't applaud "regulation" for its own sake, but should consider what the regulation actually is and how it functions when evaluating its value.

Obviously our roads need some regulation, and in seems that the regulation in Arizona wasn't the right regulation.
> I'm curious for your take on this: do you find Facebook interaction to truly feel authentic (not the right term, but I can' think of a better one)?

I think a lot of the interactions are very shallow ones (not saying there's anything inherently wrong with all shallow interactions), and I think it lets people "manage their image" to a large extent. But I do think that even fairly shallow interactions can still be authentic (in the sense that people aren't trying to lie or mislead).

But at the same time, I think similar can be said of a lot of face-to-face interactions as well.

> And if they don't post, they might as well not even be your friend.

There's a spectrum. E.g. there can be people who don't post much, but occasionally post photo albums, which means you can look at their profile and see their photos and at least get a sense of some of the things they've been up.

> If you really want to get in touch with those people, today you can always search for their LinkedIn or send them an email or just ask a friend who might still be in touch to share their contact information... right?

These days you can, but the reality is that the more friction involved the less people are going to do it. Ideally they would do it, but that's not reality. You can argue that if you're not going to make the effort then those people weren't really close enough friends. I don't agree with that -- one, there's differing degrees of friendship and 'lesser' friendships can still have value, and second, people are imperfect just don't always do what's in their best interest (like going to the effort of keeping in contact with good friends).

> Personally I feel like friendships ought to be active relationships, so Facebook "friends" usually aren't anything more than acquaintances.

I've already touched on my view on this, but I don't hold the 'close friendship or nothing' view. I think there can still be value in 'weaker' forms of friendship, right down to being acquaintances. (Obviously though, this is a topic you could get quite deep into... like in how much time is it really worth devoting to different kinds of relationships... and I'm only dealing with the matter in a fairly superficial way, and I know I could be wrong about it).
At first glance, this seems to be the iPad Pro with LTE at yesterday's entry level iPad's price.
The pencil is a game changer for many things.

For students, doing math/physics/thinking spatially anything that isn't fundamentally "typing".

For teachers -- grading/marking up assignments.

Actually, if you look, the original source said that Facebook admitted that they were only doing so because they wanted Obama to win - and that for anyone else it would be a violation of their practices.

No, it doesn't. Between the two sources, they say that Facebook was "surprised" that they were able to get so much data, and that Facebook didn't stop them. The sources do not say that the Obama campaign violated Facebook's policies.

This is the false equivalence: "What the Obama campaign and Cambridge Analytica did to acquire data on tens of millions of Americans is the same."

In reality, Cambridge Analytica obtained the data from a 3rd party not authorized to provide it, and who collected the data under false pretenses.

The Obama campaign did neither.

EDIT: Here's The Washington Post. "Facebook’s rules for accessing user data lured more than just Cambridge Analytica" - https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/facebooks-ru... :

Cambridge Analytica — unlike other firms that access Facebook’s user data — broke Facebook’s rules by obtaining the data under the pretense of academic use. But experts familiar with Facebook’s systems and policies say that the greater problem was that the rules for accessing the social network’s information trove were so loose in the first place.
"It also plans to update student iCloud accounts to include 200GB of storage by default"

Thats pretty good!
I honestly don't know if a jury is the right place to decide a copyright case. Essentially, we take an extremely complicated chunk of law, take twelve random people and explain the basics of it... and then ask them to decide on a super complicated edge case of it. Does this work well?

I would argue Google is likely to win a jury case over Oracle in most cases because Google, at least until very recently, has widely been viewed as a "good" company, and is one that is popular with the average user.
Hm, I don’t see how that follows at all. Gays don’t have the pregnancy issue so there’s no burden to pass.

Looks like mainly an upgraded A9->A10 chip, and the support for the pencil. Since it's the same price, it's probably worth waiting (or getting an older one when the price drops)
I work on those "off site" machines that collect your logs and I'm sitting on one as root right now.

Ansible doesn't get you everywhere.
You don't think choices matter in making your life better? This is just as sad as thinking that things can also change overnight. No you don't just stop being poor, you plan and get yourself out of it, over a decade if that's what it takes. Either way it's still up to you.
For me, it's the Pencil integration.
The OS should have a trusted CA list somewhere (not sure where OSX does); checking that it matches a fresh install should be the first step. Note that there might be multiple lists - Firefox, for one, tends to keep their CA list separate.
Thanks for the suggestion. It is a valid one so not sure why you got downvoted.

I actually did this for a number of years in the late 1990s to about 2004 and currently am "fix it monkey" for our SES / DKIM / SPF / SMTP config and I don't really want to take that job home with me :)

Ah nah, I meant more like - if you wanted to, why wouldn't you. Not that anything is explicitly better than anything else.

It sounded like people were claiming that WASM cannot dethrone JS, that JS will always be the language of the web, etcetc. So my question was more.. Why?

Personally I don't think it is (clearly haha). Once DOM access is reasonable, I think many (myself included) will move away quickly. Web frameworks are not that hard, so the existing ecosystem of languages is a bit of a meaningless argument as I see it. Hell, even within JS, the ecosystem is largely isolated solos of code. Eg, sure I can choose between React, Angular, Ember, etcetc - but I wouldn't choose two of them at the same time. The ecosystem in that case only helps me in that I can choose, but they're rarely tools I collectively use.

So back to my original point, myself, and I imagine my shop, would make the switch pretty quickly as soon as WASM is viable for our target languages. Viable means page load execution, memory, speed, etc - all variable parameters depending on the project of course.
There were many concerns and the license was updated to MIT. I haven't heard of any issues rising from the new license.
You are making a lot of assumptions.

I don't get why it's a scary issue or even controversial why an API would be subject copyright. An API, in my mind, is similar to design drawings or blueprints. Independently figuring out how to implement those drawings doesn't change the fact that you copied the design.
The 2017 iPad doesn't support Apple Pencil.
So it's $299-- unless you want the keyboard and pencil, then it's $450.

Yeah, no. Schools are getting Chromebooks with keyboards included for $199 each. Apple is going to continue getting walloped in this space.

Yes Mono has some limitations, but it isn't 100% like the iOS Xamarin compiler.

In any case, a limited form of generics is better than not having any at all.

They don't need to provide a turing complete implementation of generics, even a basic one like CLU had would already be an improvement.

Using go generate feels like the old days, writing generic code in C and C++ with pre-processor tricks.
> > Facebook themselves allowed the Obama campagin to pull demographic information in violation of their own polices, which was arguably impacted far more people (https://www.investors.com/... && http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/...).

> Neither of those citations say that what the Obama campaign did violated Facebook's policies.

The text you quoted does not claim that the Obama campaign violated FB's policies. It says that FB allowed the Obama campaign to do things that would -without FB's approval- have violated FB's policies.

I wonder how many organs are left to find. Was only recently they added the mesentery to the list.
I do that same thing, but I have scripted it in .login ...

echo ""

echo ""
echo ""
w
echo ""

(note, the netstat command arguments are for FreeBSD ...)

So, when I log in, I see all current network connections, and any current SSH connections are highlighted in red.

Then double carriage return and then the output of 'w'.

Thanks for the details. I don't think I even have to confess that my knowledge here is rudimentary. I just finished Atomic Awakening and I remember the phrase popping up a few times.
Outside of nagios, you can also use pricier but arguably more fully featured setups like New Relic + PagerDuty.
“They came to office in the days following election recruiting & were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side"

Uber was allowed to operate as a "car service", which was not based on medallions. There were already many non-taxi car services operating in NYC, all Uber did was scale the idea and put it on a smartphone.
>just don't want to see them left in the dust. A $10M price tag is incredible. But will that be the expensive option by the time their rocket is ready for use?

Just before Russian rouble crashed, Soyuz 2 was estimated to cost USD $5.5 in materials and labour. With current rouble fx rate, it should be well lower. If they will get squeezed much, they may well remarket disposed ICBMs again. And at that point, I don't see any Western competition having a chance. Maybe Chinese will deliver bearable launch service on solids by then.

Pure material costs play a rather small part of considerations for a launch service provider. This is why Space X is not booked for years ahead, and launch services companies still line up for Proton that had 4 successive failures, and launch on ULA vehicles for twice the Space X cost.

Only companies for which launch cost is a genuine issue or which simply want to get to space by any means possible (startups, 3rd world countries) will be going for them.
Yea, I'm really splitting hairs at this point, but you can't use the Uber incident this month as evidence to support the claim that "regulation is good". You could use the incident as evidence that "Arizona's regulation is not good".

We _can_ support the claim "regulation is good" by pointing to other states that did regulation right and seeing how their fatality rates are better than Arizona's.

But yes, I agree with the spirit of the statement, Arizona needs better regulation, and it seems pretty clear that "regulation is good" in this case.

"Still"? That one-week experiment with Firefox Nightly user was proposed but not started at this time, as user feedback is being considered.
I've driven this area plenty of times, and something that is misleading about the YT video is that there are around two dozen cars driving around lighting that area up. I agree that the dashcam video makes it look very dark, but this video is on the other end of the spectrum and does not represent how dark that stretch gets when there isn't another car.

The moment another car passes the driver to the left is where the accident was. That part is typically very dark and has plants as a backdrop - I can see where it would be difficult to distinguish a human form under specific conditions. Regardless, the LIDAR and backup driver failed miserably here.
For those who are interested in specs of the I-PACE, I had to do a bit of seperate searching [1] for those. Hopefully the specs are somewhat similar. 300mi range isn't too shabby and it looks decent.

"As standard the car comes with a 90kWH battery pack which produces a total system output of 400PS and 696 NM.

It is powered by two electric motors which produce 200PS and 348Nm each and are mounted to both the front and rear axles, enabling four-wheel drive.

Due to the instant torque of an electric powertrain the car will be able to sprint from 0-60mph in just 4.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 124 mph.

The car will be able to travel up to 298 miles of range on a single charge."

Thanks for clearing that up. I’m sure nobody knew what I meant until I made the clarifying post above.

As an individual I am much more likely to trust an organisation that follows GDPR regulations over one that doesn’t. That obviously doesn’t mean they’re never going to have a data breach- but by law they will have to announce it within 3 days, and will face massive fines if negligent - that, to me, is a company I would prefer to give my business to - and was my point. Pedantry doesn’t help.
This is true. Unlike others in that field they seem to be trying extra hard

Measuring code sentiment in a Git repository
What can be and what is are two different things. GIMP is not a serious competitor to Photoshop, full stop. So long as there is no serious competitor to Photoshop, that's a huge swath of the professional world (and much of the non-professional) that won't ever give Linux the time of day. There's a reason that Photoshop is teetering dangerously close to being a genercised trademark!

And I think the attitude comes in when GIMP is ignorantly held up as if it were a serious competitor. It isn't. It's something else entirely. It might be good enough for people to make memes for internet shitposting, but between the missing features and the alien UI (to the point where a massive reskin [1] was around for a while), it's never going to be used in industry.

If the GIMP devs want to continue down this path, more power to 'em, I just want the people claiming that it's a Photoshop competitor to educate themselves :)

I think the tying of quality or existence of health insurance in America to one's job (and the lack of that for a long period for gig/contract economy), the ever increasing costs of healthcare outgrowing our general standard of living in America in the past two decades, and the lack of a social safety net for a large percentage of people under the age of 65 contribute to the general insecurity people feel outside of high income brackets. Disassociating healthcare from one's employment wouldn't have to change employment law, this situation possibly only exists in America among modern economies, though I would be happy to be corrected.
Very clickbait headline. The leadership change was done because of a toxic culture that led to a lot of bad behavior, which is why new leadership was brought on board.

The title would imply that this leadership change hasn't changed the bad culture, but instead it goes into discuss how Uber and other companies are congesting cities which is what the problem was with Uber all along.

However, that wasn't what the leadership change was about.

In terms of congestion, that's relatively simply, just limit the number of TLC licenses that are available and you will solve congestion. Then go get that passed without having voters revolt.
Contracting is a good idea - I was contracted for a week at a startup to see if it would be a good fit. We were both happy with the arrangement. The team found out if they could work with me; I could see their prototype at work and help sort out the issues.
Disclaimer: I'm part of the team behind Tower!

Our goal with Tower is to make working with Git easier and more productive, for both Pros and Beginners. We're putting a lot of time and effort into design, workflows, and usability.

Additionally, we're making a lot of Git's "power-features" more accessible: it's not enough to just "somehow provide" a feature like Interactive Rebase. It's only helpful when it's carefully designed and really useable...

With the current Beta version (www.git-tower.com/public-beta-2018), I think we've made great progress to achieve these ambitious goals. However, of course: please see for yourself :-)
Absolutely not, it's a lose-lose situation.
Drivers don't have that now. They have extremely little control over what rides they can turn down, and most drivers barely break even.

As for consumers, yes, it's generally felt as a blow when they have to start paying the actual costs of things, instead of coasting by on VC subsidized things.

if there's a will there's a way.

there's no will to change at uber, very clearly.
A big knock against Waymo so far has been that it won't be able to scale its service by retrofitting Pacificas, and that it needs to find OEM partners to help build vehicles (i.e., install the hardware at the factory). So that's what they announced.
