The notion that "what you do on company time belongs to the company" is one possible relationship between labor and capital, but far from the only one. And even that phrasing is a little misleading, because executives often get much more latitude here; the principle in practice seems to be less about serving the collective interest of all stakeholders (that is, the company) as serving the power structure's current occupants.

Many companies are pretty flexible about what you talk about as long as giving out the information doesn't cause immediate harm. It's not unreasonable for people at much stricter companies to complain that their company is being unnecessarily strict in ways that are detrimental to the employees.

Seriously, this breaks the current definition of email that has been ingrained in every single person who has ever made an email account.

You receive and email. You assume that it’ll get stored in your inbox forever.

I almost want to say it’s a bug, not a feature. And I’m pretty open to software changes even if it’s a pain to get used to. But changing something as fundamental as the nature of emails in this regard gives rise to something other than an email.
Maybe the problem is in how the questions are being formulated.

Netflix isn’t “do you want internet movies?”. That’s the technology, not the service. Netflix is “do you want immediate access to any movie, from the comfort of your home and for and for a low price?”. That, I believe, would have been intriguing ten years ago. Especially after they ask “how low is the price?” and you respond “cheaper than going to the movies”; “per viewing?”; “per month. Unlimited viewings of every movie”. Now that would have gotten their attention.

Similarly, I didn’t want your Sony CLIÉ then and I don’t want it now. “Make this work with your finger instead of a stylus” and “simplify the UI” are too abstract. We didn’t know we wanted those until the iPhone showed what they are. Granted, you want to ask people before wasting resources making something, but the appeal of the iPhone isn’t just that it did those things better, but that those better interactions opened the door for things we hadn’t yet envisioned. The success of the iPhone is not the device, but what the device allows you to do.

You’re asking about the “what”. You need to instead ask about the “why”. Only then think about the “how” and “what”. I highly recommend Simon Sinek’s “how great leaders inspire action”[1] to explain what that means. He also has a book, but I’d say you can skip it. The video has the gist.

Model fishing is bad.

You will find a model that looks good on your data. It will not be the model you should use.
Sorry for the really basic question but why is the narrow field of view a problem?

This wasn't ever supposed to be like Google Glass, a device that you wear all day as you walk around. You put the glasses on for a specific experience.

If I'm putting them on to play a game, or read interactive motion comics from Marvel, I'm fine looking through a smaller window. I used to stare at my GameBoy screen for hours and its only a couple inch rectangle.
What you meant to say was "replace 'sauce' with 'source'" but ironically you used a meme to critique someone else's use of a meme.
3. nope, don't buy it. the real frontier is intellectual in nature not physical.

2. If there is non trivial amounts of manufacturing done in space, it will not be done by humans.

1. modern human civilization is incapable of the feat you're talking about and even if it could muster the will it would be the greatest misallocation of resources of all time simply due to the scale of it - worse than any communist 5 year plan. Terraforming happens on a similar time scale to the birth and death of human societies. I don't see a future where humans as we know them today are on mars as anything more than a gimmick - and that's even on timescales which are outside the bounds of our lifetimes.

4. this last point is the exact type of vision I'm so cynical about. Basically pure fantasy. Even if it could be done, it wouldn't be what you imagine it to be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rswYl7RLRNE
"This scene is Tarkovsky's response to the wormhole sequence in "2001". You get the shapes and the lights flying towards you but all of the artificial color has been taken out. By showing driving as this abstract sequence of lights and tunnels, we're reminded how a mundane thing like driving really involves a huge amount of technology and engineering, and that maybe this advanced technology this isn't liberating and exciting, but alienating and oppressive. ﻿"

optimism and cynicism have to be balanced against each other and your vision is sorely missing one of them.
Greek here. Greek yoghurt is not strained. The "Greek yoghurt" sold outside Greece, is. In Greece unstrained yoghurt from sheep or cow milk is sold in supermarkets (and everywhere else) alongside the strained cow milk yoghurt people outside Greece are familiar with and know as the only "Greek yoghurt". To Greeks, that "Greek yoghurt" is "bag yoghurt" (because it's strained inside a cheesecloth bag).

Btw, that "Greek yoghurt" is, 90% of the time, Total by Fage (Total is the name of the product, Fage the brand), including the ones that come together with a pot of jam on the side, as immortalised by Silicon Valley's Erlich Bachman:

Unless it's Greek style yoghurt which is invariably exactly as wrong as it sounds.
>resulting in much higher costs and eWaste for customers.

This isn't true or accurate. The costs of this service are lower, overall because the rate of repairs are faster which means more customers can have working devices faster which means that Apple can (and does) take time on the backend to remanufacture and certify parts. They don't throw out these components. They're taken apart, tested, and, if they pass, they're used to remanufacture devices for warranty and insurance purposes that are then sold to phone insurance carriers and given to warranty customers.

The idea that they are restricting repairs for any reason other than the fact that it's a better experience for the end-user is complete FUD.
"It’s those edges where engineering time is lost. For services where every call is critical and must resolve, but which don’t bake in strong rules around consistency, state must be laboriously repaired by hand – at incredible expense."

So... you have a mission critical piece of software where everything must resolve, and you're calling it over HTTP over a network...

It sounds like every call doesn't actually need to resolve and you're wasting engineering resources on pretending your problem is more important than it actually is.

Also, you'd be surprised how cheap labour is. It's probably much cheaper to have a call centre, note the customer that experienced the 500, give em a ring, and then provide a tool for the CSR to manually adjust whatever went wrong / issue a credit.
I like the word "brutal" in this context.

> If we want to have Brutalism as a valid design approach for the web, we first need to decide on what exactly the word means. Otherwise it will just become...

What's brutal about that though? Instead of "design by committees", do it brutally.

Instead of A/B testing: throw it onto the screen.

Instead of slick: rough.

People will find the link that you want them to click, even when you are using design principles that are uncommon or "not like Google".

A long as you are honest. And perhaps also brutal.
That doesn't really fix that that's ... pretty dumb. I don't need an image telling me nothing polluting the list.

I can see the appeal from the graphic designer's stand point, but it's totally superfluous information I didn't create and that just distracts.
Few years ago there were sites like cull.tv and mox.tv that were really amazing interfaces for youtube. Its sad that now doesn't even exist a demo somewhere(?)
Not if the majority of your customers are in that environment. You want to sell an app to 50 or 5,000 people? Just look at Linux games (which is WAY better nowadays, its incredible what you can play).

I'm an android/*nix user. I'd love it if more devs had your mindset but they typically don't.

The parent post is a nice example of the type of underhanded rhetoric that will eventually be used to sway the public in favor of banning encryption.

Pretend your target is inherently evil, and can only be used for inherently evil things. (Terrorism! Child abuse! Piracy!) Then you're perfectly set up to vilify anyone who dares to question your position.
I think they know that, and were riffing off the misspelling ;-)

It's about an 800 year old word in French. Wiktionary claims that it was imported to US English primarily by GIs returning from the Vietnam War. I'd assume that it would come more directly from French, in other forms of English.
> It has certainly had some effect on the ability to recruit AI researchers.

Well, Apple had to backtrack there and allow its researchers to publish because otherwise nobody would work there.
You can, but why trash information that is present when you can leverage it with a different approach?
This is a little biased because Apple has a much smaller product line, just professional and ultraportable, no affordable models. If you are comparing professional type laptops, Dell and Lenovo and HP are more comparable for durability and often have better parts availability and repair ability.
Looks like the project's still going strong, and the maintainer's still maintaining it. The complainers, though, don't seem to have contributed anything. Perhaps they forked it?
In fact, it can lead to worse outcomes than if you simply did nothing. In Apple v Samsung, the judge instructed the jury to assume that relevant evidence was destroyed and that said evidence would have been "favorable to Apple"—as a direct consequence of Samsung's email system, which as a rule only kept messages for 14 days.

This is interesting. Have you implemented this in services before? How have you handled continued failure for specific requests?
I wouldn’t be surprised if you were right.
> * Intel is dead man walking.

Intel is so dominant that they can sell their server processors for many thousands of dollars and still command the vast majority of the server market. I don't think any other CPUs have the number of SIMD units they have either.

Intel has also already made a lower power more core architecture with the Xeon Phi. It even has high bandwidth memory separate from main memory. The Xeon Phi is niche, but so are many core ARM servers. The point being that Intel is far from unprepared in this area and companies making many core ARM servers are going to have to do a lot to prompt a switch.
You'll note that I praised SpaceX. My denigration was reserved for Musk in particular.
Second Bulgarian Seal of Approval for White Mountain. It's available in Whole Foods, at least in California. There is also a NJ company that that sells a Bulgarian yogurt on the east coast.
kind of unfortunate but if they can get this out and then do it better the second time around...

> No one is doing component-level repairs any more.

There is a vendor on eBay who does this, cannot recall his name.

But they will definitely desolder and replace any component wherever this is possible.
Clearly, their unfortunate condition could be addressed by that reliable cure-all: Diversity.
I thought there were also sites like this that you could make music playlists on and share them with others
That's not analogous at all. Apple is not stopping people from repairing their devices with 3rd party or refurbished parts. The parts in the OP article were branded as Apple parts (logo and everything) but were not actual Apple parts. That's why Apple is asking for receipts and purchase orders. They want the guy to prove that he's buying the parts from them if he's telling customers that they're genuine Apple parts.

The amount of misinformation around here is staggering...

I don't know how it is in the US, but in Germany very few labels on the tub declare if there are any live cultures in the yogurt, and no one with the amount of that bacteria (like in BG). So one needs to develop a special taste to find out, if the yogurt was made thick by the work of bacteria or just by adding milk powder, gelatin etc.
SF scooter problem: City impounds dozens of the two-wheelers
I feel like I come across this same sentiment time and time again in other people's articles, especially found on Hacker News or in the comments here: shut your devices off, and enjoy life in a more conventional way, and you'll be much happier. Unfortunately I don't think I've lived up to that myself since I wrote this article 8 years ago, and we've fluctuated here in our household between getting rid of social networks and computers and TV for periods of time, and going back to them strong. I think mostly that just goes to show just how strong the network effect can be, and that it really helps to surround yourself physically with like-minded people who have similar life goals as yourself.
well even if it is not. it's just so easy to just search another engine.
it actually got easier to identify people who wanted to hide stuff.

I buy nearly everything on Amazon but they have a serious counterfeit problem with stuff like hair supplies, cologne, batteries, etc. I'll only buy that sort of stuff from a vendor I know (if its third party Amazon). 99% of the stuff I buy off Amazon is completely fine, though.
I have heard that, but only through rumour, I do not know for sure. I think I've typically rated 4 stars in the past (but had journey worth 2-3 in my mind).

I think I'd rather just not rate at all, having to take into account rumours, how other people rate, how I think Uber might use the data, etc, is just too much to bother with.

They should probably adopt a thumbs up/down rating system like Netflix switched to. It' much more obvious what the rating should be, allows them to remove bad drivers from the system, etc.
If you look at The current situation with ThinkPads it's obvious why no OEM would want to end up where Lenovo is now. ThinkPads built a decade ago are so durable and well-built with readily available replacement parts that they will most likely never go away entirely. CPUs haven't improved enough to make them a compelling argument for upgrading, and the end result is that modern day Lenovo is stuck competing with its own product.
Like PCA? But that way you loose physical meaning of the predictors.

According to the iOS Security whitepaper[0];

Each device has a unique 256-bit AES key called the "UID", and a programmable "device group ID" called the "GID".

The UID is "fused" and the GID "compiled" into the Application Processor and Secure Enclave during manufacturing, but no software or firmware can access them. The firmware can only see results of encryption and decryption, and the keys are accessible only to the AES engine's silicon. They are not available via JTAG or other debugging interfaces.

On some later chips the Secure Enclave generates the UID itself.

Apart from the UID and GID, the Secure Enclave can also generate new keys using a RNG. See also: Krypton[1].

(see page 12)

Passcodes are "entangled" with the device's UID, so brute-force attempts must be done using the Secure Enclave (or with an electron microscope?).

Each attempt has an iteration count calibrated for 80ms, which would mean an average of ~11 hours to brute force a 6-digit pin[2].

iOS also has longer delays for multiple attempts; 1 minute after 5 attempts, 5 minutes after 6, 15 minutes from 7-8, and 1 hour for each attempt after 9. The paper later mentions that devices with the Secure Enclave will enforce the longer delays, including after reboots, but this doesn't seem to to be the case for GrayKey.

(see page 15)

GrayKey claims to crack an iPhone (with 4-digit pincode?) in around ~2 hours, but more than 3 days for 6-digit pincodes. Which might work out to ~1s per guess?[3].

If you use a alphanumeric passcode, or a custom numeric code, you likely don't have to worry about these unlockers.

A random 10-digit pin will take an average of 12 years 6 months to crack[4].

I'm not downvoting, but I'll speculate why others might.

You express skepticism that this really is a significant problem. Okay. Which you back up with arguments that the problem is: longstanding (has been a "feature" since 3P mtk launched years ago with no sign of a solution), and it's potentially vast (3P mkt stocks "hundreds of millions of items"), and probably unsolvable ("3P sellers are a NECESSITY for Amazon".)

So I'll guess that the downvoting had something to do with your thesis sentence.
There are about five comments saying there is nothing Netflix employees can leak that people care about. You’re all thinking too tech centric.

Nielsen, studios, and the press would love to get their hands on Netflix’s viewer numbers and associated demographic data for a given show or movie.
Their news coverage is pretty strongly slanted to the left. Just because I tend to agree with them doesn't mean I think they are really that much better than Breitbart in terms of providing objective reporting.

In any event, what I meant was that I don't want a future where we only have sources of "news" that serve to reinforce our pre-existing beliefs, with everybody siloed into their own particular little bubbles.
And while it didn't make it into the Common Lisp version of LET, there were versions in earlier dialects that supported destructuring. For example, the Maclisp reference manual's description of LET[0] says:

It is permissible to place an s-expression pattern in place of a symbol in the (sym init) form of an element of the bvlspec. The symbols in the pattern will become bound to the matching elements of the initialization (see DESETQ). This kind of pattern-matched assignment is called destructuring.

(let (((a b) '(1 2)))
(cons b a))
=> (2 . 1)

... or worse; it is still true for any a. You could easily get {1,000,001, -1,000,000}, which for perfectly clean, precise, representable data is equivalent, but which magnifies any noise/error in one of the predictors by a million. or a billion.
It's hilarious in a way because every starter-upper would like to see their company listed at the stock exchange at some point. IPOs are so much more gratifying that acqui-hires.

People like to talk about themselves, but they need to remember that the person they're conversing with might use it against them. In my opinion, it's a very important trait to learn, both how to prevent yourself from giving out information and how to get it out of someone.

Pay attention to someone if they keep stuttering or "forgetting key" parts of the statement they're making, getting others to fill in the blanks is one of the easiest ways since our minds just want to do that. So you intentionally pretend to have difficulty remembering what you're saying and let the other person tell you.

Many at Apple enjoy the reveal of what they've been working on, so they can go and tell other people about it. It kind of takes the fun out if it leaks early.
Not going to comment on the legal side of things, but I'd recommend PrivateBin over PrivNote. The former is open-source, and can easily be self-hosted, which should obviously be of interest to the privacy-minded folks here.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Epshteyn

Boris Alexandrovich Epshteyn (Russian: Бори́с Алекса́ндрович Эпштейн; born August 14, 1982) is a Russian-born American Republican political strategist, investment banker, and attorney. He is currently the Chief Political Analyst at Sinclair Broadcast Group. He was a senior advisor to Donald Trump's 2016 campaign for President of the United States, and previously worked on the McCain-Palin campaign. Following Trump's election, he was named director of communications for the Presidential Inaugural Committee, and then assistant communications director for surrogate operations in the administration, until he resigned in March 2017.

TL;DR: The guy in charge of political programming for Sinclair worked for Trump, both on the campaign and in the white house.
Keeping just to linear regression. If those variables are measuring the same construct, pick the best one or use a method to combine their scores. If they measure different constructs but are very correlated, then you'd need to drop one..depending on the variance inflation factor...which you can test for.

As the article mentions however, there are regression methods meant for these situations (e.g. ridge regression).
