Like Palm's existing smartphone with existing smartphone apps, or blackberry.
I basically protect my phone number like I would my social security number. I was getting 5+ spam calls a day. Ended up changing provider and phone number to get away from them. I haven't added my new number to the Do Not Call list (none of these calls were legitimate businesses; just scammers with spoofed caller IDs) and have resisted giving my new number to anyone. Pretty much just my bank and a few friends have my real number, everywhere else (where they need a phone number associated to an account or for a retail store bonus card) I just use my old number. I think of the Do Not Call list as a public list of phone numbers guaranteed to be valid - not worth the risk. I think maybe adding it to my resume on job sites got the number out there as well.
Super-useful Front End developer interview questions
In what ways did it open your eyes?
The HomePod has a very simple proposition. I give Apple money and they give me a speaker. They aren't trying to use the HomePod to gather data to see what else they can sell me.
We do, if we can. We are not obligated to try impossible things, like caring for everyone in the world.
How long do you think it would have taken? Seriously? It took Google a few years to catch up having their massive resources and Apple as a guidepost.

RIM had no incentive, they were trying to lock you into the BB server product and tried to get consumers on it to. The phone was a means to an end.

MS wanted to push Windows. They’d been trying since CE first appeared and it still didn’t take off. As long as Balmer was there why would they do something different? They KEPT DOING IT even with Apple to follow.

Palm was the closest. I guess they might have been my bet. But they were having trouble and had tr legacy of thinking about things the way PalmOS had done things. That might have slowed them down.

Google was just copying RIM. They’d have gone somewhere, but I don’t know it would look anything like today’s smartphones. That may not be a bad thing.

Apple did not move us up just 2 or 3 years. I don’t know how to come up with an exact number, and obviously it’s not something crazy like 20 or 50. But I could see a decade.

How long did it take the rest of the industry to catch up to the Mac from ‘84? How long would it have taken if they didn’t have the Mac to look at?

Paradigm shifts in UIs are hard to predict. Even if you make a good one it can be really hard to break in when something else is successful (even if only adequate).

Apple defined the modern smartphone, and it wasn’t an IBM PC like thing of taking existing parts and just putting them together. It took a ton more work outside the existing molds.

This is completely false, I have several apps that I've built on my own personal account, which is expired because I haven't released a personal app in a year or so, all of them are still running just fine after a year.

The Nature folks have said they plan to focus more on interdisciplinary work

Best of luck to them, I guess. I hope most/all AI and Machine Learning researchers continue to (or begin to) publish pre-prints to ArXiv and/or submit to JMLR, JAIR, and other open-access journals.
Thank you. ICO's fundamentally change the nature of global marketplace dynamics. Whether its stocks, bonds, tokens, or whatever other digital asset, it is now shown that these items can be traded by anyone, anywhere, and anytime.

This is a fundamental shift in how markets have traditionally worked. Accessible by few, siloed by regional boundaries.

Thanks for using Rancher 1.x, which definitely went through growing pains. The latest Rancher 1.x release, 1.6.17, is actually quite mature and solid. But as much as we like 1.6, the container industry is very different now from the days we built 1.x. With Kubernetes available everywhere, we no longer need to write our own orchestration engine and worry about networking and storage integration, we can focus on things Rancher does well, as you pointed out, things like the web interface, authentication, node (host) management, and the catalog.
I don't have much sympathy for major news organizations because they are publishing opinions more than they are publishing breaking news based on investigative journalism.

Of course I can't blame them, because the industry's economic reality is that a certain number of articles must be published every day, and opinions are just much more plentiful and easier to source than breaking news.

Yet the broader reality is that Facebook has no obligation to society at large to deliver these opinion pieces to the masses. In fact by doing so, Facebook (and the internet more broadly) contributes to social unrest and polarization by constantly feeding people opinions that reinforce their own.

Facebook should be reducing the visibility of such content on its network.

Certainly high quality opinions exist, and they do have value. And intellectual content usually holds at least some kernel if opinion.
But the problem is the pile-on, the crowd-fury, the group-think that always seems to accompany and eventually overpower those few reasoned opinions that exist.

The root problem is the avalanche of opinions that assaults our rationality whenever anything happens in the world. We need to slow things down to reduce the group-think, to give people room to breathe and the reasoned opinions to be heard and not shouted down.

Hence my belief that Facebook should reduce its bandwidth for opinion ("news").
The crux of this debate is that private companies aren’t currently subject to the First Ammendment and the laws which surround it (which grant as well as restrict free speech).
However privately-owned online spaces have become the modern version of the “town squares” which are the intended venues of the First Ammendment.

Today we are repeating debates addressed by 1A and its surrounding laws, by virtue of the fact that private companies aren’t currently subject to 1A.

It’s a healthy debate to have, but we should be aware of the pitfalls - namely that the introduction of 1A upon the old “town squares” freed us from tyranny. Failure to do it again for the new town squares will invite tyranny, and would inevitably bring it back.

This includes the laws which restrict 1A (“shouting fire”, etc.) which cover the old town squares. For the new town squares these are the “content moderation” policy cases online venues struggle with.

The first thing which needs to be done is to bring 1A and the surrounding legislative framework to the new town squares. Then we have the task of crafting laws in that framework which address cases special to the information era: IP, impersonation, disinformation, incitement ...

Unfortunately, the law is behind the curve.
I disagree with the asymmetry. Withholding care isn't actually 'doing nothing' and has the ability to be violent or coercive. Take a life-saving but expensive pill. 'Doing nothing' in the case of someone who needs but can't afford the pill would be actually doing nothing - that person could waltz in, walk behind the counter, take the pill, swallow and walk out. Bada-bing bada boom, problem solved no violence or coercion. Healthcare providers don't actually do that though, someone who tried to walk in and take the pill would be met with violence in order to prevent them from accessing the pill until they had paid. That violence is coercive.

----------------

Since the mods are rate-limiting me, here's my reply to your post below:

>Otherwise every person in every situation who demands to be paid for their work, including doctors who demand to be paid by the state in a universal healthcare system are all being coercive.

I agree that this is coercion.

>When taken to that level, the word coerce ceases to have a useful meaning.

Well no, when taken to that level coerce retains it's meaning perfectly, it just happens to illustrate that the market system has coercion baked into almost every aspect. Here, this guy says it better than I can:

But there is no neutral construction of “coercion” that would ever support such a distinction. As Hale aptly demonstrates, coercion occurs when there are “background constraints on the universe of socially available choices from which an individual might ‘freely’ choose.”

In a world of scarcity, all economic rules–including rules that create private property ownership, contract laws, and so on–impose background constraints on the universe of choices individuals can make (e.g. the choice to move into a building and sleep in it without paying anyone anything). When we talk about the economy, we are not arguing about whether we want coercion. We are arguing about what coercion we’d like.

Not working on anything like that myself, but if the direction going forward it to stream not just 4k TV, but also 4k video games (console in the cloud), you will need some healthy backbones (even if they still run only IPv4 in 5 years!)
Thank you. But I prefer learn from books.

Read "Blender 3D Basics"[1], this book is pure garbage. It's 70% of offtopic and author clearly doesn't have experience with blender and can only make some basic things. Author clearly have been paid for number of words and didn't even attempted to fill with useful information. Pure waste of time.

Then tried more advanced book "Blender Master Class"[2], it was actually easy to follow and understand until some point when it went from one pic of blocks to fully modeled temple.
(Just make the rest of owl)

Next book I want to try is "Blender 3D Incredible Machines"[3] this time I made quick read of it. It looks like perfect place to learn blender.

I've noticed this too.

I used to waste their time when I could, but now I just have to let it go to voicemail.

The best call I had was when they called at 9:30pm... saying I won a trip, and I just needed to give them my cc so they can verify I was 18+.

I talked to them like I was interested, and when they asked for my cc I told them i had to go find it quick.

I put the phone down and watched an episode of South Park and forgot they were on the line yet.

I get back and pick up the phone and tell them I just found the card. I start reading the information off of it, but using the wrong name, and numbers, etc.

He was so excited about it that he kept telling me about all the fun I was going to have. Then he got a sad tone and said the card was rejected. I acted surprised and asked him to read back to me what he had since I had no idea what I gave him.

It got rejected another time, so he suggests we call the number on the back to do a three way call with my cc company to figure out what is going on.

I give him an 800 number that my cousin and I found by accident when we were like 12. I read him a phone sex number. He started to dial it and all of a sudden I heard a recording of some lady moaning. He immediately hung up and never called again.
Does this actually do anything? A computer that can dial all phone numbers in the US is not hard anymore. (the computer will probably get all numbers in North America, but what do scammers care?)
Tried for an hour to use this version, here's some things that I struggled with:

- PersistantVolumeClaims: I tried to launch a Postgresql workload and didn't get a warning that I should configure EBS before

- I tried installing rancher on my machine and later found out that the nodes need to reach rancher

- I configured Pipeline with Github but I cannot find any ressource about what to do next, I assume that it is a CI service but it's not explicit
If you are able to help them, and you refuse to do so unless they do something for you (i.e. labour to earn money to pay your fees) then it is absolutely coercive.
The funny thing about their blogs is that many of em are still on the regular domain. I'd imagine there's many hurdles in migrating so many large services, and there's barely any benefits to doing so. In addition, I'm not sure if all their supported legacy browsers can even handle gTLDs.

If I were in their position I'd probably use it for new deployments, with a low priority task for evaluating the possibility of migrating existing systems.
Evidently she was not hiking in Canada, where they definitely will treat you and then make sure you the tourist does pay the sizeable (though not USA exorbitant) bill. The Canadian system in fact does have many payers; federal, provincial, private insurers, are all payers.
28mb

But then it is mutt running inside a screen session in an xterm.

Screen is using 4m, and the largest xterm open is using 2.4m. So even adding in screen and xterm overhead that's still only 34.4mb.
I would think it would be safe to say that the best VA hospitals are better than the worst private hospitals. I don't think that's a stretch.
WinCE (lol) had a feature that would let you change the ringer for unknown numbers.

I could tell instantly, without picking up the phone, if I knew that person.

Trans-Pacific :) But more seriously, this article is about the device-side electrical interfaces -- the modules will transceive on any one of a number of physical interfaces depending on the specific needs (ultra-short-range for in-rack/in-DC, though that's a less likely application of this technology). Most multi-lane paths like these are using multi-strand optical cabling for short-range, and typically multiplexing the signal using on-board DWDM in/around the 1550nm band for two-strand long-range (which is primarily constrained by the power available to the module). This band is used because it can also be amplified inline (ref: erbium-doped amplifier) to extend the range.

You are badly conflating some issues here. How to implement automatic memory management is a runtime design issue. How to enforce proper non-memory resource management is a language design issue. Nothing forbids an implementation of a safe-Rust-like language with a garbage collector. Destructors would still be called deterministically, and destructed objects would still be unusable afterwards, as mandated by the language's semantics. But memory will only be reclaimed during the next garbage collection cycle.

There are other (better!) reasons against cross-language interoperability, though, such as the reduction in static guarantees to an unusable lowest common denominator.
Not necessarily, depending on how the game is implemented a player with bad ping can be the only one who suffers the majority of the effects of their bad connection.

It's all a conspiracy to make you not want to drive your own car.

Anecdotally, in my area there are no red light cameras so most people in that situation just stop, look, and go.
60hz even is low today by competitive standards for FPS games. 128 is nice, it should be a minimum.

>If your doctor was over an hour late, you wouldn't be happy.

Doctors aren't on time in privatized offices either. It's always a long wait for me. But you're right about the not being happy about it.

>If you had a friend that was paralyzed after a spinal tap (my dad's buddy) then you probably wouldn't hold the VA in high regard.

Yes, but that happens in private hospitals as well. They aren't all that great in the US either.

>f you were told that you'd get an appointment some time in the future and they sent you a notice randomly in the mail a few months later, you probably wouldn't be happy with the service.

Ya that sucks. Private industry has solved the scheduling problem with DSS and template based schedules. My uncle didn't have a good experience with the VA either. He had dementia and the nurse questioned him about it and he said "I have diabetes," which he did, but he didn't know what was going on. The nurse of course said, "we don't treat diabetes," or something like that and sent him away. All the while his sister was telling her about the dementia, she just didn't want to hear it.

I could tell you horror stories about private hospitals too and how after being admitted, they shipped him to a nursing home an hour away wearing nothing but a gown in winter. No calls, no nothing.

I guess the bottom line is right now, the US sucks at healthcare, period. I'm sure being a highly politicized wedge issue doesn't help matters much. (The VA, universal healthcare, skyrocketing costs in the private industry, etc).
I'm taking this to the beach omg so cool dude nice job!
Thats what I thought at first as well. But as I started working deeper and using more frameworks (had to write some as well) that made the complexity go away. Adding data sources can be very easy and the frameworks, like Apollo, take care of all the things you had to think about previously. I know that there are of course frameworks that handle cacheing and query routing for REST apis, but the flexibility of GraphQL is unparalleled. I find them to be best suited to backing UI's that may get rethought and reworked every 6mo to a year. As well as for data analytics ad hoc queries.

My point is the can be very complex, but they don't have to be. I have a number of them deployed right now that are far more hands off for me than our other APIs.
Leave phone in silent mode by default. If someone wants to speak to me then we have to agree a day and a time for that call.

This is, admittedly, extreme but I already have an aversion to using the phone and can manage just fine (99% of the time) with email.

For me, an unwanted call isn't just inconvenient for the duration of the call but for quite a long period afterwards because my train of thought has been interrupted and I can't just pick up where I left off.

To be fair, on HN the title is "best books to learn X" but the actual article states "best books on X" which is a subtle but significant difference in wording. I don't think that the list was intended to be a starting place for learning computer science and programming.
In the general sense, I've found that the best way to learn a new skill is to find an application that you are really interested in. This switches the goal from learning something to doing something interesting/fun. It is this motivation of wanting to use the end result that will sustain you through the grind of learning the skill.
Man, I'm dyslexic.
In-wall cabling ends up being the limiting factor for a lot of this -- definitely check out the Nbase-T stuff coming out, which can negotiate from 1Gb up to 10Gb depending on what the cable can support (Ubiquiti just announced an AP using it, Juniper should have switches coming out this quarter IIRC).

10Gb ethernet works fine, but the power requirements for copper (base-t) are high and SFP+ is a bad standard for consumers (finicky connectors, low mating cycle rating, etc).
