Considering how hard it has been for Tesla in the automotive industry, I'm not surprised in the slightest with this failure despite Apples 1000+ employee investment.
> Because Yan used Gmail, operated by U.S.-based Google, [DEA agent] Gibbons and his team could persuade a judge to let them monitor his communications in real time.

So not only did Google share all of Yan's emails with the US government, they did it silently. Presumably that was a condition of the court order. I don't necessarily consider Google at fault for complying, but it's disturbing to me that a foreign government can read all my data ad libitum while ordering Google not to tell me about it.

Are there countries that have better privacy laws? Is anyone hosting email services out of those countries? I'd be willing to pay a monthly fee.

> It's always surprised me that Yelp, like Flickr, and other early services, became stagnant when the mobile transition happened ... Why didn't Yelp early on see that they could become OpenTable, or GroupOn?

I don't understand where this line of thinking comes from. Yelp has nothing in common with Flickr in regards to their business performance or somehow missing mobile.

Their business also hasn't grown stagnant in the mobile era, it has grown dramatically: 10x sales increase since 2011 (six fiscal years). If that's a failure to transition, it's one every business on earth would like to have.

2011: $83m in sales

2013: $232m in sales

2017: $846m in sales
For me, it's confronting the inevitable sales rejection and critical feedback upon release that causes the demotivation.

The solution was to partner with people that enjoy sales, so I can remain focused on the product ("building the dream").
This is what happens when you use a frontend framework and a backend framework.

EDIT: To clarify,

> as compared to a framework purpose-built for server-side rendering

If you use ANY framework purpose-built for server-side rendering, the second you need to do some client-side rendering you're now using two frameworks.
It's probably because 99.5% of the population relies on money to live in a house and to buy food.

How many Americans know what "pravda" means in Russian, as well as what "Pravda" was in the Soviet Union?
That _helps_, but I'm a British/EU citizen, living in Australia, who regularly VPNs through servers in Singapore, Tokyo, and the US.

I'm still protected by GDPR.

(Personally, I reckon that's quite an overreach by EU lawmakers, but that's what they've chosen to do, in response to equivalent or worse "overreach" by internet companies trading in personal information...)

It doesn't assert global jurisdiction, what makes you think that?

If you have a legal or business presence in the EU, you will be affected, because that puts you inside the EU jurisdiction.

Note that Facebook/Google/Apple/Microsoft/Amazon/Samsung/etc have a substantial presence in the EU; employees, offices, shops, data-centers, customers, which is why they are affected by the GDPR, and the EU is giving them the choice to either comply, or pull out.

If you have a small business in the US, you can safely ignore the GDPR, because there are no avenues of enforcement against you, because you're not inside the jurisdiction. Non-US companies get sued in US courts all the time, and nothing comes of that either.

> If Saudi Arabia passes anti-blasphemy laws and says they apply globally if a citizen of theirs visits your website, should anyone care?

Everyone doing business with Saudi Arabia should care. Is this not self-evident to you?
I think this is the right answer. You need to steal some you time while you can but still be attentive when you need to be. I imagine the kid that wrote the letter in the article is used to being wholeheartedly ignored while Mum checks Facebook. If you go to cafes you can watch this phenomenon unfold right in front of you: inattentive parents on their phones whilst their kids vie unsuccessfully for a little bit of connection with their favourite people in the world.
I've been playing with this today on web and app. Pretty good.
I personally disagree. OS X, even older versions, is to me worlds ahead of Windows 7/10. I love the menu bar at the top for application-specific menus, the tabbed file manager, Spotlight is the best system-wide search compared to Windows or any third-party Windows tools. Devices like audio interfaces and printers are so much easier to get working than on Windows. The system preferences menu is a lot cleaner and easier to navigate than control panel (you have to enable Small Icons or Large Icons to get to different parts!). I'm very happy with OS X and I hope for the near future they just work on the occasional bugs and improving hardware performance within it.

I will agree that window snapping should be native. Still, the three dots is overall more consistent and visually nicer to me than Windows' min/max/close.
Re: you are not doing credit to the many physicists and science communicators who thoroughly explained why this was quackery

To my knowledge, general intent to deceive was NEVER proven. Or are you using a different definition of "quackery"?

Yes, it appeared to violate known physical laws, but it was still possible that A) physicists missed a curious aspect of current models, or B) the existing models of physics are wrong or need tuning. It happens. Not common, but it happens.
Funny enough is that I’ve joked quite a few times that it would pretty hilarious if some one say would store a bunch of illegal and really illegal think CP material and such on say a bunch of Ethereum blocks.

I’m actually surprised that at least publicly this is about as lewd as we got so far https://boobies.surge.sh.

I'm just waiting for the day when it's revealed that ~70% of miners on a top 5 cryptocurrency are compromised by a specialized worm or malware. We'll probably only find out after the double spending is discovered but this type of outcome seems almost inevitable. The people writing this type of software are definitely financially motivated, but I can easily imagine such a person throwing away millions of dollars in 0-days just to fulfill such a hackneyed cyberpunk cliche.

Also, we know that things like stuxnet exist. Imagine something even a fraction as crazy as that targeting mining nodes. It's going to happen eventually.
I don't understand why Apple signed a deal with one of the most dishonest companies in the world. They are very likely responsible for thousands of extra deaths due to the emissions scandal.
I don't know, that feels a bit like saying a decade ago that Google built a search engine, what in the world do they know about building a mobile operating system?

If this fails, I don't think 'Apple has little experience with building AI-driven software' will be a prominent reason. It would in a simulated world where Apple was not allowed hire any expertise, acquire any companies or technology and spend none of its cash, but could only divert the engineers who worked on Siri to this project. Sure. But that just isn't the case.

Implement security properly and stop worrying about it.

If your devices have open services with vulnerabilities.
AND
You completely forgot or didn't bother to use a firewall.
AND
Your devices are using permanent instead of temporary IPv6 addresses.

THEN you might have a problem.

But it's more likely that your badly protected IoT devices are downloading their software updates from a HTTP site without SSL or checksum verification while using a DNS vulnerable to cache poisoning.
Neither of those companies has the cash reserves Apple has at its disposal. Nor the expertise in hardware software integration. There’s lots of things Apple can do with their cash, gaining a foothold in a data rich industry of the future is one of the more obvious ones.
The numbers of people living in European cities has changed quite a lot. The population about doubled since 1900.

I'm not sure why this got down voted. While I do think some of the Chinese methodologies/laws are a bit extreme, we have similar punishments and rules in the United States.
Certain felonies cause people to lose the right to vote or own guns. Companies can perform background checks and not hire you based on criminal record as well. You can also be denied loans and housing based on a numerous amount of factors. Go apply for a house loan and see how invasive that is.

In regards to the comment on shaming, we are very horrible about that. The moment you are arrested/jailed, a nice little mugshot of you appears on the internet. This all despite the fact that you have not yet been tried and convicted.

I think in the U.S. we should also be challenging our own moral compass a bit more.
>Phone Support

If an account is banned, how would they log in to their admin account?

I have nothing to do with OP, don't know who they are, etc... Just curious how this would work when you don't display their phone number until they log in, and their login credentials might not work. Same for email and chat, according to the text of the page you linked (https://gsuite.google.com/support/).

Yet you mention these as ways to get support. Am I missing something?
Wait are linked lists not better for first-in first-out data structures? I thought arrays were not preferred in those cases because shift/unshift are highly inefficient.

Am I wrong? I thought array-based queues resulted in O(n) queue/dequeue. Now for stacks, which are last-in first-out, it makes sense to use an array.
NASA’s Curiosity Rover Is Able to Drill Holes into Rocks Again
As a competitive powerlifter and bodybuilder I completely agree with this article. The average reader of BBC does not need nearly the protein requirements of an athlete, and the daily minimums are very easy to get with a plant-based diet.

Even for athletes, there has been little evidence for effective doses above .82g/lb LBM (lean body mass, which is even lower than total body mass). I only get up to 1g/lb total body mass when I'm in an aggressive cut because of a few reasons:

1. Protein and fiber are the two most satiating of nutrients

2. Protein has the highest thermic effect (meaning it requires more energy to burn than other macronutrients, so given 2000 kcal of protein vs carbs, you'll burn more calories simply eating the protein).

Sometimes screens are a great distraction. Sometimes they're not. The latter fact doesn't take away from the former - it's just on the user to make good judgements. There doesn't have to be something so fascinating on the screen to justify usage. Maybe it's news, maybe it's an ebook. Maybe it's HN. It's fine if the phone goes away when the kid's done taking a dump.
Not every distributed consensus algorithm is happy with 51%. If you increased the minimum to 60% you’d increase the number of machines the attacker requires by 50%.

I’ve spent my almost 20 year career as a developer in a rural area and found that there are plenty of places trying to hire developers, not to mention that remote work is also available. I personally have never seen it as being all that risky.

The very worst case is that you move back to the city, which is exactly where you’d be if you never left.
Depends on how a judge rules. You could be required to find another venue or to admit women regardless.

Either way, the fact that it is a private rule means it is not a public law. The government doesn't have to abide by laws you just made up for yourself on a whim. If I say "no shoes allowed on my private property" the police aren't forced to comply with that, so why would a government official at an event be required to comply with some inane sexist rule?
Just a matter of time.
I took on part time gigs to build my portfolio while I was working full time. Then one day a client wanted a 1 year full time contract (turned out to only be 6 months) and that was my stepping off point!
I was just thinking today it'd be nice if there was some kind of gitignore for SMB uploads to prevent Thumbs.db, Desktop.ini, and .DS_Store from ever uploading. I put a cron script on our work server to delete them periodically but that's the best thing I can find.
Try getting into Tesla then. I doubt you’ll be happier. It can all feel meaningless unless you’re the top dawg making the decisions on strategy and direction. Try creating something on your own, it won’t make any money but if you enjoy that then you know it’s not because you needed to something that was changing the world but something you had more skin in the game for. The control and risk and reward is exhilarating. If you don’t enjoy doing your own thing then try your best to get in somewhere you think is doing something you consider worthwhile. If you don’t enjoy that you may just need a break. Call up mom and dad if they’re alive and ask for a life break. Depending on your parents that may not be worth it, I’d get angry stares personally if I sat around.
Is this a post in the wrong place. Or?
So there was a 5 petabyte learning set we trained a 20 layer deep neural net and a value came out the other end. Here's all the math we did to figure that out (several gigs of float computations). We don't even know what it's doing exactly. What does GDPR say about that? Is feeding data into a deep neural nets illegal in Europe now because they lack explainability?

If you took someone's picture and ran it through neural style, would that be illegal because you couldn't tell them exactly why it painted their nose blue while imitating Leonardo Da Vinci's artistic style? Is Google auto identification of objects in personal images illegal now because they can't explain how a deep neural net works and classified their friend as something non-human by accident? This has actually happened.

China promised us in 2010 that they would fix their pollution problem in 4 years. That didn’t happen.

Every 8 or so years there is another crackdown on corruption, as part of political housekeeping. Each time they say the problem is fixed, but then it comes back.

China is the worst example of “getting things done” if that is your standard. The central government has been less powerful than you would think historically. Now, is it “different this time”? Maybe, but it definitely wasn’t before.
Re: pandas, you could have done it streaming, a'la the `chunksize` parameter.
Yep. Foreign certifications take time, and standards for manufacturing, communication/signal interference, and more vary, but not serving the world as quickly as possible is a bad plan for growth or community enthusiasm.

(Story time: As someone who had to find creative means to get SO many US-only goods into Canada, even ages after their US release, this is terrible with electronics. Shure headphones were the worst, where there was no Canadian distributor, so I ended up special-ordering through an audiology clinic.)
Statistically and psychologically speaking, his voice reflects the paradigms and perceptions of someone who has resorted to corrupt behavior, i.e. Using other people, relying on people to bail him out of taking responsibility for his actions, lying and skewing or hiding the truth to gain a competitive edge, etc. He could also just be someone who recently forsook his values because that is the nature of corruption, it slowly spreads like a cancer.

This will become more and more apparent in the coming years and I do believe it will be at the center of all conflict and political discourse going forward.

Nihilistic minds will lead us down a path that depletes the healthy parts of the system(s) upon which such people rely too heavily. And these aforementioned parasitic systems are not good at generating wealth nor are they historically efficient at generating innovation or new, stronger systems.

There might not be a revolution, but there will be a subverting downward spiral that will end with a wake up call. One can only hope and try to convince & convert others to put on the brakes long and hard enough for us to develop immunities and fixes.

NAT accidentally and poorly gives you security through obscurity.

Use a firewall.
Specifically, what you explained stoked the fire, but what poured gas on it and simultaneously kicked the embers about the room, was Rudolf Guiliani taking RICO to make his case against Mike Milken, actually first of all Mike's far more vulnerable brother was indicted, but that aside Guiliani forced Drexel to shut it's trading desks, which drained the market for the junk bonds which had allowed so many tiny thrifts to engorge themselves, and without any mark to market -the whole market consisting of Drexel making two ways all on it's lonesome (who else had a clue what was in those bonds?) - the multitude of vastly bloated regional S&L's couldn't post their accounts, and simultaneously all went belly up.

Not being funny, but Guiliani forced the whole mortgage banking business into insolvency to make a point that some still think was Vendetta. Whatever the case, Guiliani forced a vast capital market to halt, for no reason I've ever learned, and handed a four trillion dollar bill to the taxpayer, for kicks. No wonder Trump likes his advice.
This trope needs to die. Just because a device has a publicly-routable IP does not mean that it’s freely-accessible. That’s why we have stateful firewalls.

There are millions of IPv4 systems at large enterprises and educational institutions that have public addresses, and do you think they’re accessible from the internet? Didn’t think so. They’re behind a default-deny stateful firewall, very similar in function to the stateful firewall that’s present on every single consumer router you can buy.

NAT is a hack that breaks things, and imposes un-needed performance bottlenecks.

The tech industry as a whole has a really severe class problem. There is a really terrible negative attitude towards the poor and the rural. We as an industry focus a lot on race and gender (and not in that order), but the real taboo subject that makes everyone uncomfortable is talking about what it's like to be poor.

It's especially bad here on HN where often the conversation devolves into people telling me that I'm wrong about my childhood where I grew up poor...or how poor people are a blight on society.

The single topic that I find in my career people insist on secrecy is about poverty. I continue to be open about it so that others are willing to talk about it to someone, because otherwise you just can't.
I had the same thought. Seems like a huge strategic error and at odds with Apple's core values.
First let me tell you that I agree with you, and I just have a small comment.

The type bounds in Java are there for a reason. Kotlin's syntax is simpler but it it unable to express all the types that the Java model can.

I have found myself in situations where I want unable to express the proper type information in Kotlin simply because the designers of the language decided that having full support was too complicated.

I did the exact opposite. I fixed my cholesterol problem by eating 3 eggs every morning, often with bacon, by replacing vegetable oil (except olive oil) with lard and butter, and by cutting out most carbs. My HDL/TG ratio is now in the lowest risk range (after having been in the high risk).

Now, it seems that cholesterol in isolation is not a very good indicator of CVD anyway (HDL/TG seems better). We are even considering that it's not the cause of atherosclerosis, but a correlation (just like cavities don't cause diabetes).
I also wondered this, the VW emissions scandal seems entirely counter to the purported views on environmental responsibility by Apple.

However, Apple is not an environmental company. Apple is a product company. In products, Apple's goal is to build the best of whatever they're building, in the world.

Finding a manufacturing partner willing to help Apple accomplish data privacy and customer relationship differentiation is more important to the product goal than a manufacturing partner free of environmental scandal baggage.

Other considerations:

VW the company has and will continue to be brought to justice and pay the price for its fraud.

Apple vehicles likely will never run on fossil fuels, even in VW vehicles.

Other car manufacturers likely have their own historical scandals that run counter to Apple values.
