I ordered two (for me and my wife) the second online ordering opened via my phone at a restaurant as it happens which was novel since we were having a meal with out-of-town friends at the time.

We were both very immensely excited but when it became clear that the first release wasn't going to be the inexpensive model we decided to cancel and get a refund. AFAICT, it's still not clear when that model will be available so I think we made the right choice.
The question is why those are legitimate things to insist on protection against. Surely a free software license couldn't say "it's forbidden to run this program on iOS" or "nobody affiliated with the US government may modify the code", even though the free software community has real concerns about walled gardens and government backdoors.
He made it pretty clear that there wasn't a moat that he needed to forge but rather the missing the community, that's not really something that anyone could build a tool to transfer...
>The user logs into Facebook on the device. This log-in action the part of the user is effectively permission to share data with the device.

As well as the data of 10,000 to 100,000 connected users as both friends and friends of friends have data pulled without any checks by the third party.

"When the user logs into Facebook on the device, they are giving permission for their data to be transferred via an API to that device."

When the user selects to have their data limited to friends only, and not friends of friends, then additionally disables API access to their data explicitly, no, they are not "giving permission for their data to be transferred via API".

They are quite explicitly doing the opposite.

My outrage, stated multiple times and oddly invisible to the users here, is that my user/password doesn't authorize the third party to access 10,000 to 100,000 other users private data, and those users personal settings should override any third party data hose utility.
I would guess that the acquisition will not affect Github in any detrimental way. I would argue that developer good-will is a more valuable commodity to Microsoft now than in the years past.

More happy users of Github => more happy developers using a MS product => more developer good-will => more developers/decision-influencers that might consider a MS cloud product (like Azure).
just switch out of FB. you dont have to quit social media just find a more suitable network (I personally like ello). the crux of the issue is that they know they are a monopoly and wallstreet knows that too so these things will continue until there is a moderating force like people leaving. otherwise I doubt there'll be much happening to rectify these issues for they are the core of their business model not some happenstance things.

btw mozilla created a FB jail thats fully open-sourced a few months ago. use that on FF and it should alleviate some desktop tracking. access here:https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/facebookcontainer/
Why not? I was programming on a Commodore Plus/4 at the age of five. I got my teeth into this industry by hand typing from magazine articles programs that done nothing more then making the sound of bird tweets, but it taught me A: the basics of how a programming language works, and B: how to debug to get around the inevitable typo in the magazine.
the only thing relevant is the map and how it reacts to probing

Sounds like Postmodernism to me. If you think it's not, then let me point out that you can just substitute "text" for "map" and you're pretty much there.

There must be something underlying the maps, because so many of those maps have turned out to be wildly wrong, completely barking up the wrong tree. It's not even that they didn't answer the questions correctly -- they were so wrong, they were asking nonsense questions in the first place.

There is a nice little allegory by Raymond Smullyan, where some ancient philosophers are debating what keeps the world from "falling down." I think it's in "5000 BC," and is the story by that name.

On Windows Phone 7, Facebook integrated with the Contacts app, so your Facebook friends would be added to your contacts, and their images would be added to their contacts if they didn't have one set. That's probably what it is, as that would then sync with your Outlook account for those contacts

No, "free as in beer" nullified a lot of the value of "free as in liberty". When is the last time you paid moneys for a software product?

You are the product.
If iOS has the dominant app platform, wouldn't making it easy to port to macOS be a good thing? You get to harness all those iOS app developers (who code on the mac anyway) able to have their apps run on both platforms. Seems like a win.
Similar to some markdown parsers, you need to have multiple newlines in the source in order for the presentation to have a newline.

EDIT: Looks like you got there before I finished typing.
What ever happened to the words "Open Source" ??

The issue is: marketing. Any word that has a precise technical meaning will become non-technical as marketers latch onto the word. Because if its technical, precise, and useful... then marketers will "stretch" the meaning of the word beyond its true definition.

In many cases, the word "free" itself is overloaded. Chosen by the "Free Software" movement because of its ambiguity. Free from cost, freedom to use, freedom of choice... etc. etc.

Stallman wants "free" to mean everything he wants it to mean, without any of the meanings otherwise attached to the word. Its an issue of branding and I've never really liked this aspect of the FSF / Stallman's philosophy.

Ultimately, Stallman wants to distinguish between the "Open Source" community with his "Free Software" philosophy. There's plenty of more appropriate words, such as "Copyleft" software, available at his disposal.

Overloading the "Free Software" word and/or branding is part of the strategy. Ambiguity is good. It allows the people who hear the word to imagine the best possibilities, as opposed to focusing on the technical details or legalize.
I wonder if Terminal.app now supports True Color.
Car shops are a good example, there is no prevention of repairing other people cars, or their equipment, based on the knowledge from complete schematics / source code. The thing you can't do is make your own version of the thing and sell it.

When my parents wireless router breaks, if I had the source code to the system installed on it I could both better understand the documentation to explain it to them, and I could perhaps patch a security problem that caused the breakdown.

There should be nothing preventing me from re-distributing the fixes, just as Sams FotoFacts used to distribute radio repair manuals, or the Chilton car maintenance manuals.
Google took the same approach with Android, releasing non-OSS versions of their OSS apps, and not updating the OSS ones anymore.
Yet another quarter has almost passed and, according to the Bloomberg estimate [1], Tesla will yet again miss their goal of producing 5.000 cars a week -- by far. In the most recent week, it was about half that, 2.560.

I guess some some people are just fed up with waiting.

You assume these big car companies want to actually sell Hybrids or EVs. Until recently (still might be the case), I was only to find hybrids with every single option. Making Hybrids one of the top tier models.

Or they would create some odd looking car like the Bolt, Prius or Leaf.
1. I have a feeling if every person who was mentally ill was cured; the USA would still have stellar rates of homelessness.

It's so easy to blame it on mental health, rather than a horrid Social Support system. An exploitive educational system. A society that lost it's compassion? And any sense of Spirituality has been stepped on? I don't know. I just know the homeless people I knew didn't have a mental illness, or very slight impairment. They just weren't foxey enough to compete with the successful ones.

2. Cut throat relatives (I have a greedy sister who legally extorted money from my mother during an estate matter.).

3. Lousy jobs, and very high rent, along with outrageous fees/fines by government. Along with every

4. "A place to live for $400/mo in the south." It's so hard to move after a certain age.

5. Cities, and towns are using that "Break in the Glass whatever" to harass the homeless into moving to a different county, or country. They realized the homeless will move if harrased enough. Move? Yea, many commit suicide. Problem solved? Disgusting policy.

I know two homeless men who died this since 2017.

They both told me they were being harassed by my county. Hell--I live on Marin County. Your bosses will end up in this "liberal" enclave? Cops are literally combing the hills ticketing them.

One of the guy's I knew was Jim Fox.

I don't know how he died, but for the last few years; his biggest complain was fines, and random searches.

He was one of the key Programmers for Word Star. He was always facinated by technology, even while homeless. In the end, he would ware a Penguin outfit, and beg for money. The people thought it was cute, but he said, "I never thought I would be begging?"

You claim living isn't hard in a first world country.
Our homeless are feed. But finding a free place to pitch a tent, or take a chit is practically impossible. All the land is taken by the 1 percent, or the government.

Finding a bathroom is a whole other ordeal.

Sleep in vechicle=ticket.
Sleep in park=ticket.
Go ahead an sleep on BLM land--fine, but for two weeks?

I only know one hellhold in CA that let's people camp on their property. It's in the desert. There's no water. There's no restrooms.

If I knew homelessness would be Americas biggest problem--I would have devoted my professional life working for a cure thirty years ago.

Ugh--nothing else to say. But it's not just mental illness.

I almost think they claim it's such a complex problem because they really don't want to solve the problem?

If I was in charge, all empty federal, state, county property would be open to the homeless. And there would be very many public bathrooms.

Homelessness is basically a death sentence here. Why make them criminals too? Ugh--
Can I make Newtonian mechanics into a dyanically 0-free-parameter theory by stating that F == gMm/r^2 , where g is a solution parameter ("the gravity of the universal landscape" ?
You just admitted that charge symmetry, parity symmetry, and time-reversal symmetry are incomplete. I'm quite sure that the old mental models which held those to be absolute did "fall."

I doubt they developed this entire system wide feature in one month. If they did, it would be _very_ impressive.
New Algorithm Determines Ideal Caffeine Dosage and Timing for Alertness
I remember doing test drives of the Leaf vs. the Tesla Model S two years ago.

Back then, it felt like the leaf was the present, and Tesla was like stepping into a future of dreams. It was simply no comparison.

But dreams aside, I can see how the economics might push people one way.
Look up the crazy stuff that happened with ICE/ISEE-3. NASA had disposed of the high power transmitter that was originally used for communication with it (and other satellites of that era). When it came back around, it fell to civilians to try and reach out to it. The initial contact was made with Arecibo Observatory and a high power amplifier built out of repurposed cellular tower equipment. Fun times :)
This is WWDC. They don't typically announce new hardware there in recent years.
Yet teens are a very popular demographic for buying iPhones, so if they like it, so what?
I disagree with your disagreement.

That's precisely how language works: we co-opt words and change their meaning all the time; this happens all the time with software, engineering and physics. Open source has come to mean something in the software development world (and it arguably never meant "the source is open to the public but they must pay for its use", so it's not even an actual subversion). Some companies now might be trying to redefine the term, and it's up to us -- the programming community -- to stop them by rejecting this redefinition.
I would like to be truthful, but I think age is often something recruiters think of like: "He is young, he doesn't have much responsibility, let's give him 0.5x instead of x".

I'm not really sure about this, it's just how I feel.

I would like to hear from a recruiter about this
How is an emoji a whole new way to communicate?

What's the consensus on Metal? How does it compare to OpenGL?
Yes, I mean other than that they are doing nothing. Vulkan and OpenGL are shunned by Apple and developers won't even port over games that should run on macos (i.e. any game using the unreal engine -- pubg for example).
There's something about the layout and style of the latter part of the page. Maybe part of it is that the "buy for $10" button is repeated so many times. Maybe it's the intense green I'm reacting to. I was also felt something, I don't know what, when I saw the loading widget after pressing the buy button. I think I reacted both to the fact that I had to wait and its somewhat antiquated style (feels a bit 2012-ish; no maliciousness intended, maybe my tastes are weird). Of course, these might just be N=1 impulses, don't take my reactions on faith without a/b testing stuff.
Use it. It's really nice on a high resolution desktop :)
I believe they don't want to sell many...just like BMW did with i3

We think this is going to be an interesting new way for companies to raise their A rounds. Here to answer any questions people have about it.
IMO, the most interesting thing happening with Apple right now is the surprising (to me) amount of effort being put into their News and Stock apps (which are being ported to macOS). The only reason I can come up with for them to be pursuing this with so much effort is that they saw what happened as a result of Facebook dominating news and decided to put their best foot forward in the hopes of bringing some semblance of order.
If you live in an older condo building with an uncooperative board, and physical challenges/long distances related to surface mounted conduit routing in the underground parking garage, it could be $8,000 of licensed electrician work to run a new 240VAC circuit to your single parking spot.

edit: there are also a number of people who have street parking only. Look at any older neighborhood, it could range from Queen Anne hill in Seattle, to many parts of Boston. Houses may have neither garages nor alleyways.

Not sure if I'm on the same wavelength as the other commenter, and I'm not a designer by schooling, but your page has 7 calls to action to purchase or download -- on my standard HD screen, I can have two pairs on my screen at a time, with the third just barely outside the top or bottom of the viewport. It's extremely redundant.

The contrast between the green headings and the white background is also a bit low. I understand that in this case it's your app's primary icon colour, but it's more difficult to read than it needs to be, especially combined with the light-weight font.
Bad way to measure success. Tons of companies don't make profit for a long term. Look at capital and sales growth.

He did something that any other company could have done but didn't and now he has a growing valuable company with lots of waiting costumers and ahead of the technology curve.
Your positives are more closely linked to your negatives than you might think: Microsoft's open source projects are actually working to bring those endless privacy intrusions over from Windows so you can enjoy them on other systems as well – .NET Core and VS Code will collect and send your data to Microsoft by default, without bothering to ask for your permission.
I can't speak to your desired aesthetics, but hatchbacks offer a lot of utility over a sedan/coupe in terms of cargo capacity. They're simply a much more efficient use of space for the same size car, and more versatile in terms of the kind of activities the platform can support. Its basically like having a small SUV. I drive a Golf GTI, which is quite compact of a car, but I can still carry a suprising amount of cargo without having to play too much tetris. YMMV of course, and I can empathize with your desire to have a nice-looking car, since I love mine paritally for the same reason (its also incredibly fun to drive!)
OpenGL is just an API, the underlying features are provided by the graphic driver. You can't ship with your own OpenGL, that would mean shipping with your own amd/nvidia/intel driver (and the associated kernel module, etc).

A reasonable alternative would be to implement OpenGL on top of Metal for compatibility but this is a lot of work.
Cocoa bindings in UIKit would be nice to see.
Sorry, I should have said we don't understand dark energy yet.

In what sense does "fundamental reality" exist?
Last year they announced the HomePod and the iMac pro.
I'm not really the person to speak to this, but I haven't seen it mentioned, yet. Maybe someone more versed in the topic has something to say.

The Wikipedia article reads fairly neutral, e.g. 'Microsoft clarified...' Well, what I remember from that time, from the tech press (right or wrong/exagerated) was much more along the lines of 'Microsoft hacked a compromise in response to the increasing pressure of backlash' -- and this back and forth happening multiple times.

We've also got the Monsanto Forest Park in Lisbon. It was the result of a big foresting effort in 1929 that replaced the agricultural land that was in its place.

It's a very interesting place but the english Wikipedia page doesn't have much on it. Maybe I'll work on that.

Ask HN: Best tool for managing fundraising?
Asana, Trello, FounderSuite, VCWiz, others, why?
Yes, they don't really deserve you as a user.
That would be Snow Leopard (10.6).
I keep them separated by different types of jobs I'm applying for. I don't keep old ones because the only things I do are add new jobs, remove old ones or add new skills....keeping old versions seems pointless.

There is only one OS, and it’s been obsolete for decades
Chrome with certain privacy-conscious settings disallows access to localStorage as well. It broke something we built too.
My mom had small cell lung cancer 10 years ago. She died in about 4 years, there was no immuno-therapy available for her then. This kind of thing is a miracle. It's another sign for those that need them that we do get payoff for decades of cancer research. It's really why we need to support fundamental research. We have put a lot of resources into cancer, will we be able to apply them to other areas, or move funding over eventually? Many kind of psychological issues are thought to have significant brain functioning causes or at least impacts, I hope we can eventually make similar progress there. Or on diabetes or whatever.

I'd have given anything to help mine. I'm happy your mom was able to get that treatment.
Bridging the Leadership Gap by Adapting and Refocusing
emberjs + rails, I even built a starter template that can get a SAAS app up and running quickly and I built hyperlogs.com with it.

ember and rails are SUPER optimized for rapid development. You don't have to spend the next 3 weeks configuring a React app so it builds right :) . Not to mention the next time you do it, it will be different :).
I actually agree with you broadly, but the funny part is that stacks (or, basically, some form of 'smart folders') actually hit me as a genuinely interesting addition to the very old and tired UI paradigms for desktop software.
Is there a particular reason for the specs to be submitted today that I might be missing?
Yaml is well readable by a human but it's much to tightly defined to be "for humans". It's for machines but readable by humans I'd say. Plus it's got sets and you can embed csv's (just 2 things of the top of my head).
spec? localstorage errors are not standardized, every browser gives quota exceeded error different name and number, you have to use something like

'' e.name.toLowerCase().includes("quota")
> FWIW, I don't think people who are anti-homeless really have much of a problem with somebody who is sleeping in their car because they're struggling financially.

It only takes one person to file a complaint to the police about someone living in a vehicle on their street. It is, de-facto, a crime in most cities.
> they are actively at war with FB/Google

Why is that? They’re not at war with any particular company, mainly at war with a business model equivalent to cancer. Those companies will be welcome back anytime once they find out a proper business model that respects users.
I would be a lot more okay with this if Apple supported Vulkan, the more portable comparable API, rather than just the macOS/iOS-only Metal.

I also wonder what means for WebGL and its future. Right now, WebGL works in browsers on macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android, which is incredible. There is no equivalent.

Sure, Apple has started working on WebGPU, but that’s not yet ready nor is it guaranteed to gain Linux, Windows, Android support.
I can imagine kids playing a lot with that Lego app, if Lego can keep rolling out fresh new content for it. It looked really fun!

But Lego is in a unique position to creatively integrate AR with their products, unlike most companies.
Fact? How do you define whether Microsoft is hostile? What are your criteria?

Look, I hated Microsoft in the '90s and '00s. I was there. I grew up in a world where IBM dominated the market though. They've both changed. The market has changed and both of these companies had to deal with that.

The reality is that nowadays people pay with their privacy instead of with currency for a product; they are the product. Does it matter much who owns the product (independent US company, big player like Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, or Apple?)
Machine learning: Research and industry
Aren't most people running those kinds of workloads doing so on Linux already?

Doesn't seem cost-effective at scale to run on beefy Apple machines.
