My Sony ZX1 sometimes pops up a message when I plug it in "Battery saver: your battery will be fully charged in time for your alarm at 07:00" or something like that; I can charge it faster with an option on the message if I want to.

It would be nice if this feature defaulted to charging to 95% or whatever. I usually know in advance if I'll need that extra 5% for a long journey.

I'd be interested to see how Scruff/Jack'd/etc stacks up. My guess is Scruff does better (it has always been a better designed/developed app) but I understand why they focused only on Grindr as it does have the largest market share (admittedly a guess).

Grindr has never been exactly a bastion of good programming... Their app has always been subpar at best with infrequent updates, months/year long bugs, terrible UI/Navigation, lack of features that could be coded up in a weeks time that would GREATLY improve the experience (Message archival/hiding), and I could go on. It would be one thing if they features were relegated to the paid version (Grindr Xtra) but the only really big feature for Xtra is push notifications for when you get a new message.

All of this is to say the fact they are using HTTP to talk to these analytics/ad companies doesn't shock me at all. My bet is they haven't updated the libraries for these services in forever (which wouldn't be too hard to investigate).

As for HIV status getting sent it really depends on the service. They are not subject to HIPAA (even if you wish they were) so they can do this and I'm sure for targeting ads it makes sense. No need to waste ad dollars on "Get tested for HIV" for people who already know they are positive. As someone in this community and knows the orgs that pay for some of these ads are severely underfunded I have hard time saying this isn't important to make sure your ad dollars go as far as they can.

Lastly for people saying "just don't enter your status" you clearly don't understand this community, I'm sorry. But people who are positive face a HUGE stigma. Chatting on Grindr/Scruff is already an emotionally draining experience in a lot of cases, I don't you all want the details but let's just say failed conversations (for most people at least) don't exactly fill you with confidence/self-worth (yes there is a whole other discussion to be had there I'm sure). So waiting until you start a conversation to tell someone you are positive (instead of it being in your profile) is going to lead to even more failed conversations. If I were positive I think I'd trade my status away to analytics/ad companies in exchange for not having to talk to people who aren't interested in the first place. I'm saying that as a white male living in the US so depending on your situation you may disagree.
Creatives who want hardware optimized Adobe apps to continue to be fast will care. I wouldn't count on emulation of vectorized code to work all that well.
No. Without an architectural license Apple can't design chips without being sued. They could set up a partnership though, similar to Zhaoxin, a joint venture between VIA and the Shanghai Muni.
Who's to say they can't manufacture their own x86 chips a la AMD?

That would definitely be an interesting and very surprising development. Like I would really like to hear Apple's rational for developing an x86 CPU.

x86 is a far more complex CPU architecture which they have zero experience in making. ARM in contrast they have experience with all the way back to Newton, and it has a nice licensing preposition.

I can't see them doing something different than ARM and x86. That would be an enormous undertaking to come up with an entirely new CPU architecture.

x86 really has nothing going for it architecture wise. It just has a market because Intel makes fast chips that run existing software. ARM is a better architecture, and Apple already has the toolchain to make software run on that architecture.

If you asked two equally competent chip makers to make a fast chip, and one was given x86 architecture and the other ARM, I am certain the ones who got ARM would win. x86 is just winning today because intel is filthy rich and can pour insane amount of money on x86 to make up for all this short comings.
> That given he is comedian, his reporting is less credible or audience should receive his stories less seriously or what?

As he is primarily known as a comedian, there is no way to confuse him as a journalist doing "news reporting". This calibrates the critical thinking dial in my brain.

> Given that he throws a joke from time to time, does it mean that it's less reporting and more comedy?

Have you watched the show? The joke to content ratio is very high.

There's a big difference: arXiv papers are open-access (everyone can download them), but ACM papers are closed-access (you need a subscription to read them). I wish that computer science research were published on arXiv, but we're not there yet...
Family members co-founding a company is a perfectly natural thing that sometimes happens, but that doesn't magically make it not nepotism, and a setup that over time will cause problems. It creates a company where anyone below knows that the opportunities for upward mobility are severely curtailed by the family interests that generally override company needs when push comes to shove.

Wow, this looks pretty bad.
How does that work? You may have an idea but the actual development may involve 100s of people and the patent might involve a small aspect of the product. How do assign a value to the patent?

Also you are right that this system results in lots of low quality patents. I used to see at one employer chip designers cranking out 5-6 cell designs on a quarterly basis making an $10k extra a quarter. Maybe 1% of those would actually be implemented but it is worth it for the company to get every potential solution either as prior art or patented.
They're probably less concerned about the cost of driving on average, but knowing that something costs less does tend to make you do it more all other things being equal.
It's hard for me to politely express just how disappointed I am in the direction this conversation has gone. It's total garbage. It started with what should have been a "holy shit" point, just a few comments above, and almost immediately turned into an "us vs. them" argument with basically zero value to anyone.

Look at how polarized politics has gotten. It's happening right here.

We have media mega-businesses now which are feeding total garbage to people, astroturfing it so that viewers feel like they're getting information from someone they can trust, and we have a President that is getting information from the same kind of sources and is citing that when announcing policy decisions.

I don't care which "side" you're on, I think that's wrong, corrupt, and terrifying. If it were a Democrat doing it, hell, even citing NPR, I'd still be horrified.

Some of Trump's base thinks there's some kind of deep state thing going on, where there are people in government that are controlling things behind the scenes, independent of whatever administration is in office at the time. You know what? They're absolutely right, save for one little thing: the people doing the controlling aren't in government, they're in offices in shining skyscrapers, and they own the news.

And they would really appreciate it if we wouldn't talk about that, and instead just continue to argue about the stupid wall.
Alas, there were statistics posted here on HN in one of the Tesla accident threads [0]. And these were even for cars older than Tesla, cheaper than Tesla, and selling possibly order of magnitude more vehicles (quite possible for Hondas and Toyotas on the list) than Tesla.

Wouldn't it be sad if you had invested your life's savings in TSLA upon hearing Saint Musk preaching his BS, and now need to defend that investment against all facts?

(yeah, there is some sarcasm above, but your accusations of FUD and being paid for it strongly smell of spiked Kool-Aid)

@trengriffin has some fascinating tweets on the economics of software companies that speak to this.

This is my favorite:

There is no place in financial accounting for the concept of network effects, or the increase in the value of a resource with its use. This actually implies negative depreciation expense in accounting parlance. the fundamental idea behind the success of digital companies (increasing returns to scale) goes against a basic tenet of financial accounting (assets depreciate with use). For digital companies, the bulk of the cost of building an idea-based platform is reported as an expense

Lest you are in too much of a bubble realize there are many people that live in areas with poor or absent internet. I suspect there are, in fact, people under 40 that get their news from local television.

You may also want to reconsider that only dumb people can be influenced by this or other means of manipulation.

And... if you can influence 35% of the population, it is fairly easy to get a voting majority from that point given participation rates. Especially, as others have said, if you are influencing the rather large and active over 40 population.

Of course this is from 2015, and it’s possible they’ve been prototyping for years and think they can overcome the fear of a subpar device.

But as a former Surface Pro owner who now has an iPad Pro, I don’t see that happening. The iPad is immeasurably better as a tablet when you have tablet-oriented software available. And when you don’t, obviously the Surface’s compromise of “have a crappy desktop experience too” is usable if you need to have that option. But it’s not good compared to stuff designed for a tablet.

Similarly, the chunks of Windows 10 that are clearly designed for touchscreens (like the new Settings app) are not great on a desktop compared to the older and still more powerful control panel. More consistent, sure, as any ground-up redo would be, but the information density of things like the Add or Remove Programs list is awful compared to what it was before.

I don’t think Apple is going to make those compromises. They might do a more converged developer backened for Mac and iOS to make it easier to target both platforms, but they won’t shove the frontends together.

And cost. Making something you can license to others and/or sell to 250000 users each year has a completely different cost compared to something you use only on your 20000 machines (source: [1]).
Macs are already overpriced, I don't know how much Apple could sustain an in-house production of proprietary chips without hitting their users; they're probably going to ARM.

They may never release it but no doubt they have it. There are iMacs in Cupertino running macOS on ARM and there are iPads running macOS. During the PPC transition it was pretty obvious that Apple had been building OS X to work on Intel for a while secretly.
I didn't really disagree with the first two, but concerning the third one, that's really not true in all places in Europe any more and a little bit of a stereotype. Berlin is very much a cosmopolitan city at this point, and Sweden has always been very open as well. As is London and even cities like Warsaw are becoming more and more accepting.

France and Italy as two very large countries stand out, the former because it's very closed up culturally, the second because it's not in a good shape politically.

I won't deny that the US has a more open culture (having experienced both myself as a German citizen who has worked in the US) but the gap is not so large any more that the generalisation is valid without qualifications.
The fact that Apple develops and ships hundreds of millions of ARM processors every year, which are widely regarded to be the best ARM processors made, and they design and ship no X86 processors?

if a sociologist wanted to study the social impact of transit infrastructure, that would be perfectly reasonable, and we wouldn't expect them to know much going in about signaling systems, switches, or different types of rolling stock. likely a railway engineer wouldn't be all that successful trying to do the sociologist's job.

i think machine learning systems are different, and any researcher in a new field of "Machine Behavior" would have to know much more about how they work than in the railroad example. but there's no reason to suppose that work done by people trained outside of CS departments will be nonsense.

and as the authors say, there are real blind spots where CS researchers might just ask the wrong questions entirely.
“2) iOS apps on OS X. Why? Does anybody want this? The way I see it, web apps are perfectly adequate for the desktop environment when it comes to stuff like checking my bank account or browsing Hacker News. I don't want to deal with a desktop app to do any of the stuff I can currently do via a browser. Is there actually a use case?”

Right now many new desktop apps are just badly ported web apps wrapped in electron. They are slow and eat a lot of memory as all of their UI is a being rendered in a glorified standalone chrome tab.

This is less about iOS apps on OSX and more about making it easier for the iOS developer ecosystem to build desktop apps.
Right now it’s web teams that are building desktop apps because for most companies it’s too expensive to hire a dedicated desktop team. Even big apps like slack/WhatsApp use electron.

Making it easier for iOS developers to build desktop applications with the APIs they currently use should hopefully lead to higher quality apps.

That's a strange way of looking at it. ISPs take all sorts of actions to both increase performance to customers, and to reduce their costs.

A competent ISP operating in good faith will execute and expand peering agreements when it makes economic sense to do so.

Looking for entry-level programming work on whatever technologies you're using: I'm eager to learn, even for out-of-fashion or difficult-to-hire-for technologies, which I am good at getting up to speed fast in. As you can see, I have some classic Sysadmin skills as well, which is where my experience has so far been, but I'm on board with the DevOps philosophy and would love to work in such an environment.
That has an absolutely lovely picture in it. Congratulations on being able to type quietly :) !
I wouldn't know, but hasn't Apple made its Mac Store apps architecture-agnostic? I'd be surprised if that's still not the case.
We covered these topics in my Computer Ethics class. I took a bunch of philosophy classes on Ethics too. You can teach a person from a book all about Ethics. The problem is that people will make the decision to be ethical with their gut or in the moment.

For instance I was designing an app that would identify if the food had an allergen or not. Eventually I came to the realization that my program if deployed could actually hurt people. So I stopped working on the project. I wrote a blogpost about this (shameless plug) at https://medium.com/@zitterbewegung/making-computer-vision-sy... .
The core issue was I was giving people information that they could perform medical decisions. This gave me a bad feeling and a bunch of lawyers told me when I referenced this post.

I eventually pivoted what I learned into this (yet another shameless plug) : https://steemit.com/twilio/@zitterbewegung/mms2text-let-your...

I've seen a split approach like 50% at disclosure and 50% at grant because the employer wants to see you follow through in assisting with the paperwork. Quite a few never reach grant stage or take so long that you may have even moved to a new employer.
The logical conclusion of today's corporate structure is a company with a single employee, the CEO, who is paid all the profits, while all the actual labour is performed by zero-hour sub-minimum-wage contractors, all either funded by VC money or floated but posting zero dividends.

I would say that hacker news is actually a fairly objective aggregator. It's also participatory, which hopefully checks bias at some level. But, as this isn't television... it's not a valid example, in response to your question. Also, hacker news isn't ad-supported, which is nice.

The rate of tobacco consumption overall is what's important. So we would do a comparison like high school upperclassmen who smoke cigarettes in 2010 (or maybe even a bit earlier) to high school upperclassmen who smoke cigarettes and/or vape in 2018. The difference would tell us what we want to know.
