Agree. I installed a Nest Camera to keep my garage and car safe...guess what: they broke into my garage anyways and all I got is a useless video of it.

Camera’s are not a solution to stop crime!

One thing I gotta say though is that it helped with figuring out what got stolen ;)
Is artificial intelligence even possible without emotions?
Wozniak apparently didn't like interrupts that much. They are almost unused on the Apple II -- for instance, the keyboard doesn't use them --, and grokking interrupts was the single hardest thing for me when I migrated from the Apple II to the IBM PC.

Tesla Semi: It’s climate change, stupid
No but it is more convenient than lesser known streaming services like popcorn or certain kodi plugins that don't work well.
Camera/video equipment can add up pretty quickly.

Even nicer everyday items can quickly amount to over $500 USD. E.g. shoes (150), 3x wool socks (45), 3x dress shirts (180), jeans (100), sunglasses (150).
Sounds like a fair review.

One thing that appeals to me is the ability to control the cursor and keyboard on your PC or TV (or whatever) from across the room, since it replaces two devices that take up a flat surface and can get lost in the shuffle in a dark living room.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the product evolves (and becomes cheaper -- and more fashionable).

It doesn't seem to have the Douchebag Factor that Google Glass had. (Maybe Liberace or Michael Jackson could have gotten away with studding it out with diamonds and rhinestones.) I just hope nobody posts photos of themselves using it in the shower.

If they added a mic and a speaker, then you could "talk to the hand"!
I worked for a moderately successful startup that got acquired and I had both options and grants. All vested options and existing shares were paid out as cash. Unvested options and grants were then paid out as a cash bonus on the vest dates if you were still working there.

Options were valued at sale price - exercise price. I had grants at different prices, but on average the cash value was about double the original grant values. I had been working there about 3 years. Also got a two year retention bonus worth 60% of my salary at the time of acquisition. Didn't make me rich, but it was a nice chunk of change. People who had been there longer had lower grant prices and made a LOT or money.

There isn't really anything you can do besides exercise early to try to get long term cap gains, but that's more risky than it's worth IMO, because the shares could end up valueless and you're screwed.
Thank you very much Stassa!

I have added Metagol to the AI chapter, please have a look.

True... electric, especially Tesla threads bring out a lot of... strange opinions.

Could not it be that the lack of sufficiently quickly charging solutions and charging infrastructure is not a major problem when the market is that fraction of a percent. It would be interesting to see what needs to happen for electric cars to break above that level.

Bolt is pretty nice (and at least Chevrolet has some clue about ergonomics of a car) but still has the same practicality issue for us. We just ended up getting a plug-in for my wife. It can get her to work and back on a charge, and in the car pool lane, if we can find somewhere to charge it for less than the cost of gas, and if we can't, it's not a big deal. It can go almost 600 miles from full. Not to open another can of worms, but at half the price, it's better equipped than a Tesla, too. Would be interesting to see what that 911 plug-in Porsche is promising looks like, although "too expensive for me" is to be expected.
Show HN: Mystery box adventures every weekend
Hey all,

I've always been frustrated by the amount of hassle involved in researching
and planning interesting things to do on weekends. So much so, that most
weekends I end up staying inside.

It's also become harder to make new friends since graduating from university.

I figured other people might have the same experience, and this is the
lowest-friction solution we could come up with: Just a 1-character response to
an email and we take care of all the rest!

I'd really appreciate any feedback you have.
I think people discover what their true political affiliations are when they become more educated over time. When I was 18 I thought I was a democrat because I had a very liberal leaning towards social views. And then when I started learning about business, regulations, and etc.

I just found that Government are just a bunch of prom kings and queens telling the kids who created lemonade stands that not only did they owe them a cut of their profits, but how and where they could sell their lemonade. And there is a shitload of corruption involved because they will tell you to move your lemonade stand so that they can give the location to a friend.

I believe we need a Government, but I don't believe we need an omnipotent Government that has the power to employ half of the nation despite not having a notion of equity or a competitive pay scale.

So slowly over time I found that I am actually Libertarian and I vote for Republicans because at the end of the day, the only real way the Government can make people's lives better is to get out of the way (and pockets) of the private sector. Which is the real backbone of this country. The private sector is the only sector that has the real power to improve the quality of life and self esteem of Americans, because as FDR put it in his extended bill of rights, every American has the right to a good job.

I think we should have a constitutional amendment that makes it unconstitutional for Congress to raise taxes above 15% for all Americans, and I think the tax payers should have a say in how 5% of their Tax Dollars get allocated into the budget. The President and Congress gets to say where the other 10% goes.

I think if we had a system like that, then everybody would get a little bit of what they want. You care about the state of our national parks? Then say that is where you want a percentage of your 5% to be allocated for this voting cycle. You think our military sucks? Send your bucks there. You think we need to fund the FCC because they got rid of net neutrality. Then go for it. And if you don't really care and think the President or Congress knows best, then allocate your 5% to be distributed according to their best judgement.

Send your tax dollars where you feel they need to go. It's the best way to get a comprehensive understanding of what exactly the people's concerns are.

Perhaps it would be chaotic, but what is to say that democracy shouldn't have an element of volatile chaos in it?

To me, the most radical thinking about the relationship between computing and society is copy-left. It uses copyright law to subvert the presumed uses of copyright law. I think it is the most influential new idea from the second half of the twentieth century. The world runs on Linux.
Judging by downvotes, in the spirit of lifelong learning would it then be prudent to conclude that more people having a basic knowledge of history would be a bad thing? Or that it wouldn't decrease opinionated arguing on forums?

There has not been a bigger sellout in history than the tech community. What makes it insufferable is the posturing and hypocrisy.

Companies like Google and facebook continue to be glorified inspite of their creepy obsession with stalking everyone 24/7 and legitimizing surveillance.

If privacy laws worked it would not come to this. Without regulations depending on goodwill and ethics in the face of greed has never worked. It just leads to a self serving clique who will handwave and legitimize anything for profit.
Amazon in Talks to Revive ‘The Expanse’ for Season 4
Production code has no unauthenticated access to source. In all the cases I know, there was a data push for dynamic configurations from source to production, usually adding access control, auditing, validation, etc. Static configurations would be baked into the container image.

That said, it looks like in this case he would been able to turn on access to google3, through a special flag that is probably meant for internal GAE apps that work on source code. Presumably, the flag allows the app to use a GAE proxy that authenticates to Piper and provides a filesystem-like interface. It's not clear what would have happened at this point, because it is likely there exists a finer grained quota for source access than just all of GAE. These kinds of new RPC traffic would have been visible in Dapper and Census data, plus there are booby traps everywhere aka defense in depth.
How do gangs end up 'ruling' areas when you have a functioning and professional police force?
I really would love a device like this for sketching in design meetings. But I really can't see myself paying more than $250 for something like this.

The desirable feature for me is the display, primarily. I find e-ink displays easier to read with variable overhead lighting situations. If this is flat on a table in a conference room while I sketch I don't want too much reflectivity.
It’s not just public signatures, its also things like types—even private types. For example, if public struct type Foo has a private member of private struct type bar, and private type bar is changed to add a field, this changes the public interface because the memory layout of the type has changed.

"Last Wednesday, Premier Li Keqiang said a real estate protection provision that would ensure individual’s access to property under a 70-year lease would be renewed unconditionally is being drafted.

This will help to quell ongoing fears that wealth garnered from one generation will be removed after the 70-year lease ends by the government. And while this does not address the fate of 20-year leases, the precedent set in Wenzhou may be replicated in other areas."

Ask HN: Should I take a fake employee with me to a key client meeting?
I run a data / analytics company / super early stage startup in a large industry dominated by three players

I cold emailed and managed to score a meeting with the ceo of one of these three giants to discuss a product partnership - essentially selling my service to this giant.

It’s a huge company - market cap over 10 Billion dollars - and frankly I’m surprised the ceo agreed to meet me.

In the meeting he has asked his two product heads to join.

I am a sole founder and this is making me a bit nervous. I’m afraid that if the ceo sees I’m a one man show he’ll lose interest (I do have a team but they are all remote).

So I’m thinking maybe I should take along a fake employee with me. my girlfriend.

My girlfriend is really smart and her experience is actually very relevant to my product.

Is it ok to take her along? I really don’t want to lose this opportunity and I fear that by going in solo I may just do that

I’d value your feedback
At least some of your assumptions are wrong: no-one is ignoring FP anymore.
What about being able to get or create an eInk display? (That you plug in / connect to a computer.) Yeah, it's not going to deal with heavily moving content well, but for reading and text editing, it could be great.

As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't have to be touch-enabled, either. Just a non-fatiguing eInk display for viewing and working with mostly static / slowly changing content.
This kind of relates to the “neural Darwinism” idea. Or “use it or lose it” as it relates to certain behaviors. I don’t know if it’s true but it’s a useful way to think about it.

Adobe is looking more like a holding company trying to grow their membership offerings than a company building a cohesive product. It's similar to how Microsoft is acquiring successful companies but having a hard time incorporating them into their ecosystem (Skype, anyone?).

I don't see this going well for either Adobe or Magento. Remember when Adobe acquired Macromedia and killed Fireworks? And then Sketch came in and neatly filled the void? That's kind of what Adobe appears to do to companies.

I'm not saying Adobe is bad, but their diverse portfolio of products won't be well integrated for years and in that time, there is the possibility of killing a brand simply because it does not keep up with time (and competition).

Good luck, Adobe.
This doesn't make logical sense to me....a lot of these skilled people run channels with next to no income, I would think only would many of them gladly take on some side work for multiple tens of thousands of dollars, at a bare minimum, but would fight over it, bidding it down to way less than that.

To me this seems like basic supply and demand in action, I'm curious which aspects of this scenario we disagree on to come to such a wide disagreement?
Is Sleeping with Your Baby as Dangerous as Doctors Say?
I just received a warning from a hosting provider that there are two new Intel Spectre announcements in the works.

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-3640 is the other one.

Rest of the announcement:

" Leaseweb is aware of the announcement made today by Intel regarding the two security issues in Intel products designated Spectre-NG (comparable to the Spectre vulnerabilities made public earlier this year). We are closely tracking the situation as it develops, and working together with our vendors to evaluate our infrastructure and customer-related environments.

WHAT IS AFFECTED?
This issue affects most CPU models. Both vulnerabilities are so-called “side channel” attacks, which allow an attacker to access memory without permission and can lead to unauthorized access to data on the system. The vulnerabilities are particularly relevant for multi user and virtualization/Cloud systems.

These are local exploits which means that remote attackers are unable to take advantage of this problem, and an attacker needs access to the system itself. There are no known / public exploits to this problem yet, but Intel was able to replicate the issue, which means the attack has been confirmed, but no exploits are as of yet available in the wild.

WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS?
Intel is working with their vendors on making a fix for this problem, which will include a solution on the operating system level as well as a microcode patch. The first patches are likely to be available in the last week of May.

Operating system level fixes will be available quickly, notably from Microsoft, Canonical, Red Hat and VMware. We expect Debian, CentOS, and other vendors to follow quickly after that.

Leaseweb will start patching and updating systems as soon as fixes are available, and we will notify customers if there is any impact to their service. If you are a dedicated server customer, please ensure to keep your operating systems updated in the following weeks, and keep an extra eye on critical or security updates from your OS vendor."

> Why does every device manufacturer feel like it has to put in effort to develop a bespoke application just to interface with its own devices,

Can you name successful tablet manufacturers? There's only one. And they lock down their tablet like a vice. The fact is people don't give a shit about all this. They want a good device. If Sony is to succeed, they'd rather succeed like this than succeed with a very open device that can be used to subvert their tool chain.
There are plenty of people who can shoulder that burden. Why not doctors and lawyers? A-list actors? What possible justification is there for putting that burden on property owners? And not, mind you, all property owners. Just the ones who happen to have been housing low-income people at the wrong time.

> procedural is just plain easier to debug because you can more easily split it into digestible and dissect-able chunks: divide-and-conquer.

That's how you think and program in FP as well. Not just debugging, I mean: FP is all about divide and conquer. In fact, Wadler's seminal paper "Why Functional Programming Matters" [1] is all about what he calls modularity, i.e. splitting a problem in parts and then gluing it back together.

Sony's Xperia line of phones are great. They feel amazing (though a little worse than they used to; the Z3/Z3 Compact are, to me, peak phones) and I've never had a problem with updates.

I prefer Panasonic cameras to Sony, but I do live and the consumer/prosumer Sony cameras are too expensive for the feature set compared to Panasonic. If I shot photos primarily I would probably own a Sony.

Why shouldn't a citizen of a country offer their own perspective on their own country?

Perhaps open source licenses should prohibit their use for adware, spyware and surveillance.

Apart from a plethora of open source projects to build its websites Google is using Android to hoover user data and open source should not be used to support a surveillance state.
