Some sort of sensible API I guess... Or something automatically generated, like Excel macros, that you can then inspect, understand and modify... If it came with "infinite" undo and some sort of playground/sandbox, people could literally experiment with very low cost.

This seems to be a phenomenon similar to "agile washing". It actually works if you internalize it, turn it over in your mind and make it your own. It doesn't work if you just hire a trainer and otherwise treat it as a necessary evil.
Based on the opinion of a friend who reports good results from reading a book about mindfulness and practicing it.

There are a bunch of similar comments here, this is just a slightly different angle on it.
On the other hand, Chrome OS has finally ended my nightmare as the family IT support specialist. I have to help people who don't know what a "mouse" is, what a "browser" is, or that you can read the same email on multiple devices. When I switch them to a ChromeBook, life is much easier. Do they still have problems? Yes, because they don't understand the underlying concepts and face an enormous learning curve. But they don't get viruses anymore and nearly any problem is solved with a restart. Plus, Chrome OS is truly multiuser in the sense that anyone with a Google account can log into the device and access all of their online resources without affecting any other users, so I've been able to modify the owner's idea of what it means to share the device in a secure manner. Frankly, it's a godsend for some types of users who are incapable of maintaining any system running Windows, MacOS or a mainstream Linux distribution.
That feels like the public line. I understand google isn't the illuminati looking to dominate the world from behind the scenes, but I am highly skeptical about their motives behind this.

In the US, other than YouTube, google has very little in the way of dopamine as a service, like Facebook, Twitter, Snap, IG, etc. This feels like an attempt to get in on the technology addiction by feigning to be anti-addiction.
Maybe require that you purchased the product on Amazon before they count a < 3 star review?

There's no reason the "average" from the reviews presented need to count them all... the search ratings could easily exclude reviews by those that didn't have a confirmed purchase.

Yeah and the front of house software we're talking about probably plugs/will plug into multiple similar services. Voice isn't a good analog for unix's text piping because it has to go through encoding and decoding on each end and passes through the lossy phone lines and then through interpretation on top of all that.
Do you have any idea how many "folk" remedies — specifically including leeching — have subsequently been validated, in at least some contexts, by modern medicine? How many plants the daft old witch in the forest used in ancient times, from which we now extract some medicinal compound or other to treat the very same ailment?

The general position here seems to be that because the ancient herbalist didn't have a notion of acetylsalicylic acid, the willow bark he dispensed for pain wasn't even "wrong", despite its being the correct treatment from the tools he had available.

Huh?
Quality doesn't even stand there either... I bought some amazon branded speakers (cheapy ones) that I used at work, didn't really need much... liked them... bought a couple more, all dead within a few months of use.

There's no quality control on anything anymore it feels like sometimes.
No no. I'm talking about keys to my phone alone. If I choose to trust my own certificate then that only impacts what software I can run on my phone. An app cannot "sideload itself onto all your contacts". This extends to the OS itself. Let me change the certificate governing the OS software. Only once you allow that do I truly own my phone.
There are many kinds of meditation. Three that I know of: (i) focusing on the sensations of your breath, either in your nostrils or your abdomen, while maintaining peripheral awareness; (ii) practicing feeling "loving kindness" towards people; (iii) visualizing complex shapes. I'm not sure what you mean by "trace-like", but I suspect that it would describe some forms of meditation but not others.

I believe that "mindfulness" is also used in more than one way, and as a result may or may not refer to a kind of meditation.

I have a book "The Mind Illuminated", which discusses meditation (i) in great detail, and suggests a self-check as you begin meditating, though with different steps than HALT.

Disclaimer: I know very little about meditation, and some of this might be wrong. But it's certainly complicated, and words refer to many different things.

The criticism was that they had failed to test updates which proceeded to crash machines and break applications. That they managed to test this one feature is hardly a persuasive argument to the contrary.
I wrote a tool that helps you do this anywhere by using Google's autocomplete API: https://github.com/nathancahill/Anycomplete

It also supports DuckDuckGo, so for the privacy conscious it should work fine.

Unlike the complaint that Google's product shrinks the lexicon, Anycomplete actually expands your lexicon by allowing you to type words/phrases you have an idea of but don't know how to spell.
I'm not without sympathy, but sites that automatically played audio were always living on borrowed time. This has to be the most abusive and obnoxious behavior since the blink tag.

> Nobody at any level below enlightenment will let go of any particular emotion and let it pass by, just by engaging in this practice.

Have you tried? It's not easy. It's taken months but my anxiety has noticeably decreased, though there's still a long way to go. Several times I've "let my guard down" and relapsed, thinking that I didn't have to try so hard anymore. I've come to admit that it's going to be a daily thing that I have to watch for, though it does get easier.

> There is no letting go unless your meditation practice has first allowed you to fully express that which is holding you back.

Yes, that's exactly what you have to do. You can't let something go if you don't know what it is. Maybe you have an inaccurate idea of what mindfulness is?
The garbage article I posted at least sheds a little bit of light on the fact that snopes is not the bastion of integrity that for some reason it's being portrayed as via both Google and FB.

Also congratulations if that's literally the most severe case of ad hominem you've ever seen.

Also worth noting: I linked that article because it was the first source I found via searching that highlighted all the shady stuff that founders have done. I'm not aligned with the additional views of the author of that article.

You can disable google play's access to it by turning off "usage access" in app permissions.
Trying to suppress your thoughts is not a solution either, that just gives them more weight. When you let them by, you realize that they were not worth the attention in the first place, and they fade away over time. There is no quick fix.
This is very cool stuff.

I would be very interested to hear a sampling of the war stories that came out of building this. I had a friend working on the IBM zPDT JIT at one point, and while I unfortunately can't remember many of the details at the moment, I remember boggling (in that sort of emergently satisfying way) at some of the 'oh shit' moments that came up.

People are saying this is 'basically the same as autocorrect or predictive text'. It's not. Autocorrect doesn't make any creative decisions for you, whereas this does.

That is to say: we think at the level of words, not letter-by-letter. When I make a typo, autocorrect corrects what my hands do to match what my brain is thinking. My brain still has primacy. This thing sits at the level of words and even sentences: if it's autocorrect, it's working to correct what my brain is thinking. Which is creepy and sad.

It's a little bit more like predictive text I admit. But because predictive text only suggests one word at a time, there's little semantic meaning to a suggestion and it's rare that I have my thoughts distracted or changed because of it. It's still largely a convenience tool. Suggesting a full sentence is shaping the direction of your thought, which is very different.

I'm still horrified that Google has put this out.
>> Good start, but that doesn't say that night driving isn't safe.

It also doesn't say that it is safe. It lists all kind of risks that make it unsafe in one way or another. Whose definition of "safe" are we supposed to go by, anyway?

We can probably at least agree on what isn't safe: Crossing a road at night into incoming traffic, as a pedestrian.
That is the problem. We're selling a compiled product that is installed on other people's machines. It's very complicated, and the guidance that I have gotten from bosses and lawyers is stay away from GPL code.

Oh, and for your information, N3 has always had a reification syntax. For example:

PS: yep, there are blank nodes here.
PPS: very few parsers take this into account, I agree. But I am pretty sure N3.parse() does.
That intuitive obviousness is why the contradictory evidence is so surprising!

I would guess that tiger moms probably influence their children's lives much more through heritability of personality attributes (like persistence, ambition, intelligence, etc.) than through their parenting style.

I don't think any technically minded people on HN are extrapolating what this system is capable of doing, but are (rightly IMO) extrapolating what kind of systems will be announced in 2, 5, 10, etc. I think even HN is greatly underestimating what world class researchers paired with an army of world class engineering talent are capable of.

I think his point still stands. You entrust your passwords to third parties. They don't always handle it correctly.
Generally meeting with an associate means an extra gatekeeper to convince so that’s why people suggest talking only with partners.

If you get pushed to an associate from a partner though it’s hard to go back and demand the meeting with the partner. If you have limited options, you should take the associate meeting.

FWIW our first round for Justin.tv started with an associate conversation.
You must have misunderstood something. JSON is a data format. JSON-LD is a use of that data format.

Your complaint is as if you looked at the Sublime Text configuration file, which is in JSON, and said "I liked JSON better when you didn't have to configure anything".

JSON-LD isn't designed to replace JSON, it's designed to replace all the awkward formats for RDF.
> Friends and family can also steal your credit card, but this is not where the majority of credit card theft comes from.

This is a false equivalence because knowing someone's credit card data only allows you to do one thing which happens to be pretty detectable: using their credit card for yourself.

Knowing someone's password allows you to know one or more of their secrets, including many applications that are virtually untraceable for the average user. So the deterrence factor is much lower in the second example making it much more likely that a nosy parent / sibling / SO will take a person's key.
Sounds good then. I am ready to test one of them. Thanks!
This isn't a hypothetical discussion. Asymmetric encryption has been battle-tested for decades now. If it's as weak as you say, SSH and GPG would have gotten blown open long ago rather than being the the thing we all reach for when we wanted an actually unbreakable system.
Because XML is a much worse match for everyone's data model than JSON is.

You are right, it's really hard to get to a consensus if one person feels attacked.

It's really hard to describe some of the major problems without coming across as blaming though since we've more or less followed a path that I attempted to explain monthly for at least 6 months (sometimes nicely and sometimes badly to be honest).

I've taken the most blameless approach I can and I think it might actually be working now though! We may have come to a common realization today that if we don't come together as a team right now it's all over.
A lot of these devices allow you to configure a pin code that is required to unlock the device before use, which effectively provides a second factor. Also, stealing a fido device requires physical theft and can't be duplicated, so the owner would likely know if it was stolen.

Personalization does not arise from passive use. Consider the converse, articles from a list of user selected sources. That sounds more like personalized news. Besides Google News used to function that way so I think I should be entitled to my opinion of how it should function.

Yes, I use this option frequently, but it's still not always the shortest. For instance, here in Kansas, it will avoid interstates but route you on U.S. highways, even though there are more direct state and county roads. I want to see the very shortest route and make that decision for myself.

I recently wrote about the use of JSON-LD in ConceptNet: http://blog.conceptnet.io/posts/2018/conceptnet-and-json-ld/

Seeing some knee-jerk negativity in other replies, I should emphasize: nobody is under any obligation to use JSON-LD just because you use JSON! It's not an upgrade to JSON, it's an upgrade to RDF.
I don't know what nerd sniping is, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't trying to do that, nor trick anyone. I'll try to better explain how I defined the variable when I get to a computer.

Yes, extracting the mindfulness techniques out of vipassana practice and then trying to use it to cure PTSD, anxiety, and poor work performance is bound to fail. Being mindful of your neurotic behavior is useful, but it does not help unless you act and change the circumstances that is causing the problem.
if the software is cloud agnostic, wouldn't a simple copy operation between the cloud providers suffice?

>security breach

if you want to reduce your attack surface, copying your data across multiple providers is counter-productive. instead of having to hack your specific cloud provider, the attacker only needs to hack one of many cloud providers.

Recently my Google keyboard's auto-correct has developed an annoying tendency to insert apostrophes when they're not needed (e.g. "its" -> "it's", "were" -> "we're"). Even manually deleting the suggestion only works until the next time I do need to write the contraction, whereupon it resumes "correcting" the non-contracted word every single time.

Only fix I've found is to manually make the word a shortcut for itself (e.g. shortcut "its" for "its") so that when I type the word it inserts itself and is not auto-corrected.
Try again, please?

I've been playing with crosvm and containers (lxd) in ChromeOS for awhile and I've been very impressed at the technical expertise that has been required to bring this to ChromeOS. Now that the terminal app is released I can say (I have a pixelbook and am currently using it), the user experience is really quite slick. This is a very promising platform.
Hmm for this specific case I think that there might be a lot of of edge cases, just a gut feeling

But I would totally be for some much simpler packaging scheme for native apps/"scripts". It's kinda insane how much money is going into Android from Google but all the dev tools are basically just Java stuff. I really wonder what Android could be if a more lisp-y approach existed as well

You can only be libertarian if a) you've never bothered to study history or b) it's a cover story for an ulterior motive.

The US was mostly a libertarian's paradise from 1850-1950. It didn't work. Federal agencies and government regulations were created because the courts were unable to adequately respond to ongoing problems. The proximate cause of death for libertarianism was the sequence of massive bank panics and depressions leading up to the final "Great Depression" in 1929, but there were many causes across wide-ranging areas of society.

To give just one example: The FDA was created (and later strengthened) in response to a long succession of disasters where well-established drug companies added known toxic (or lethal!) chemicals to their drugs, then placed them on the market without testing. Thousands of people were killed.

No legal decision can bring back the dead.

Most of these companies already had reputations to protect and judgements against them were expensive. Yet they continued to screw up royally.

We've tried libertarianism. It simply doesn't work. It has never worked. It will never work. It is always less efficient to force millions of consumers to extensively research every aspect of the products they buy, then seek redress in the courts after suffering injury. It will always be a net win to set basic safety standards (for established product categories) and force manufacturers to follow the standards.

If you're a rich oligarch who hates paying taxes then libertarianism is a convenient excuse to shrink government (regulations = expense) and/or foist as much of the tax burden onto others as possible.

Libertarianism is also attractive to people who have grown up in a sheltered society and so see regulations and standards as unnecessary restraints. They don't have any basis for comparison.

It's similar to anti-vaxxers: Vaccines were so successful that whole generations have grown up without watching their kids or friends die and be crippled by disease, so they don't value vaccines any more than they value oxygen in the air.

For that matter it is the same as the current Boomer generation's FYGM attitude: growing up in a post-war boom when the effective wage was ~$18/hr and college cost 1/4 as much of course it was easy to work part time while getting your degree. And with a growing population and society of course there will be plenty of jobs waiting for you. Like oxygen in the air or water in the sea such conditions are completely beneath their notice and thus later generations "must" be lazy moochers and "of course" they should just "work hard like I did".

Sometimes I think humans really are doomed. As a society every time we get a good thing going we completely forget the toil, blood, sweat, and tears required to get there.
