For me it’s posterior sampling to generate meaningful uncertainty metrics in very large scale causal inference for understanding location-based behavioral data, sometimes for ads, sometimes for other modeling problems like image quality, app engagement, etc.
We are a long way off from 100% autonomous cars. In the meantime, human-car interaction is ripe for improvement.

And regarding Apple Maps and Siri: we'll see what the next few years holds. It's always useful to keep in mind that Google had a huge head start. There's a difference between being incompetent and being behind. Apple is rolling out new maps this fall; we'll see how they do. Remember, there was once a time when Apple didn't know how to do web services. I think the last few years has shown that they figured out whatever it was they needed to figure out.

Generally speaking, there probably isn't another company that is better than Apple at engineering management. Google and Amazon may be better in some areas, but they're probably also worse in others. Remember, this is a company with the best mobile processors in the world—by a long shot—despite not having even been in the processor business 10 years ago. They also deployed a brand new file system to a billion devices with basically no issues.
> Secondly isnt Lego just a business that becomes obsolete because of technology and 3d printers. How long before you can just print the thing you want - plastic or not.

To get something approaching the build quality and strength of a lego brick, you're going to need a mighty expensive printer.

How does 10 hours of eating and 14 hours of fasting translate to humans? The life span of a mouse is much smaller than humans amd their metabolic rate is higher, 4 times that of humans. So I wonder if that would mean a much longer eating window and fasting window for humans.
I thought "personal" meant that it only affected the people engaged in the risk, so there you go.

I guess "individual" would follow your understanding somewhat better?

In my limited experience, they have added a lot of servers in the last year. I've stopped using it, but my friends who still have it for streaming seem very happy with the speeds.

With the right marketing, I think VPN businesses are kinda like gyms. That would be a more innocent reason why marketing spend is high.
There were 160 IPOs in 2017 larger than 50 million. The odds of you being the CEO of one of those companies is extremely low, unfortunately.

Your best bet is to build an app that your users love. If they pay you enough to pay your food and rent, then great! You can take it from there.
Dan tweets about React... and music he enjoys. Andrew tweets about Suspense and spinners... and also his thoughts on TV shows, and a bunch of assorted troll tweets. Brian tweets about working on the React DevTools... and also the evening run he's going out on. Seb... okay, so Seb mostly tweets deep thoughts about React and the web platform.

As Dan said, the React blog is where they formally announce things related to React releases and important things the community really ought to know about now. If you follow them on Twitter, you can get insights into what they're working on, and if you don't follow them... well, important comments will still bubble up to other sites like Reddit and HN (as this thread proves), and even if you don't see them here, the critical stuff will be posted on the blog or the official @ReactJS Twitter account when the React team is really ready to officially announce that info in its final form.

I see no reason why they (or any other developer of any kind with a personal Twitter account) should be restricted in what they can talk about. So yes, I would completely say that personal Twitter accounts don't have to be "high signal to noise". A Twitter account is what the owner wants it to be.
The instructions are good at teaching you a variety of ways the bricks can be used, help understand how to make larger structures from them, etc. And hell, following the instructions is fun, too.

Yeah, that's it. Our other guy left suddenly, and we've been working hard to hire and train. Meanwhile, I've had this vacation planned for over a year. My company's culture is really positive and helpful, and everyone really wants me to really be on vacation. I fully intend to disconnect, and very likely I'll never hear a word from them. It's just good to have some backup.
Apple doesn't make their own hardware. What they do is design their own hardware and chips. I agree with you that if they actually made their chips this would be bad.

Case in point, you can see Intel really struggling because not only do they design their own hardware but they also make it quite literally with their own fabs. This has resulted in a lot of delays moving to 10nm and beyond.

AMD on the other hand spun out their fabs and now use fabs around the world to handle the actual manufacturing. This frees them up to actually design hardware and innovate at a much greater clip. Heh, they are even going to 7nm.

The same applies with Apple. It is quite cheap to be vertically integrated because you simply don't really have to make anything. The capital investment is quite low. It is something that Sun didn't have the luxury of.
"I know the guy just died, but let's talk about how shitty he was."

Adobe made the file format open source to spur adoption. It worked.

Make no mistake, there were a good number of PDFs floating around before that point. It was pretty much immediately popular, but they were kind of a hassle for everybody not running Windows. There were programs to display them like xpdf, but they weren't bug compatible and lived in a legal grey area. Everything got a lot better once Adobe released the rights on the format.
> IIRC sets used to have instructions for multiple models you could make

They still do sometimes—they even have a line where every set has instructions for 3 different models.
Yes, I remember the feeling well when the announcement came out. And I agree that Apple's human interface zenith was sometime in the classic Mac OS timeframe.

Oh, well, I've got a Talos now. I don't suffer any illusions that it'll bring Power ISA back to the desktop in any great numbers, but it's at least competitive.
>Here is a honeypot VPN would do. Does NordVPN Meet Every Checkpoint?

>Need a BIG Company to Back it Up

I'm not sure why that's a requisite for a honeypot. Why contract a company to do it rather than doing it in-house? It's one more loose end to take care of and one more source for leaks.

> “Fake” Product Consumers Want

> Invest Into Product to make Good Honeypot

it's consistent with the fact it's a honeypot, but it's also equally consistent with the fact that it's a business that wants to grow by any means necessary. besides, I'm seeing plenty of nordvpn advertisements on mainstream youtube channels, and according to this article, CNN. if nordvpn is a honeypot, who is their audience? you're probably going to end up with 90% squeaky clean people (in terms of online activity), and 10% weed buyers.

>Use “Security” Features to Gather Data

this is nonsensical as well. why go about this in a detectable way (kill switch failing all the time), when you can passively monitor the connection (very easy to make it 100% undetectable), then follow up using parallel construction?

Agree 100% that mechanics are important for things like landing jumps. Body composition is probably more important for most other sources of injury, though. After all, it's hard to have proper mechanics when you collide with somebody unexpectedly, or when you land on your side because somebody knocked your legs out from under you.
Definitely if you trigger insulin response it is safe to say you break a fast, but any caloric intake breaks the fast, even without insulin response.

I’m not sure that video supports your conclusion that coffee/tea breaks the fast, seems to me it’s more of a maybe.

I personally appreciated the acknowledgement of the microbiome. The idea that simply...we don’t know and don’t understand the interactions of the microbiome. The example given was artificial sweetener that most every Keto/paleo/low carb/IF advocate would say is ok...well no,it’s probably not because even with zero calorie and no insulin response the interaction with the microbiome likely breaks the fast and is an over all negative (unhealthy) interaction.
Be careful danmg, you could be next :)

Honestly, I agree with @saagarjha further down thread - I think things like AR and personal assistants are much closer to their core model.

Grant the MP3 comparison, though - and that's why I'm trying to understand this. They've got smarter people than me pushing for this.

That said, I do agree the idea that they're fundamentally a company good at making high-tech, well manufactured items cheaper and at a larger scale than anyone else can and extrapolating that to luxury cars as a market is a reasonable and possibly sufficient view of this.
I live in NYC and I'm a longtime user of the Bose QC20s. They are probably the best commercial noise cancellation devices. I even sleep with them. The article promises some significant leaps in the technology. No doubt as processing gets faster and smaller we'll have even smarter noise cancellation. Looking forward to that...

Public transit is orders of magnitude safer than personal transit.

My first paid independent gig while back in university was writing a DOS backup program. I actually used the archive bit for its intended purpose.
They're not an ad company though - what are people going to do in their cars? Probably use their phones and tablets, and if Apple's got a lock on that, then who gives a damn about the car?

It's the same reason there's not an Apple Television, there's an AppleTV - the display doesn't matter, the source does.
You can sometimes pair a decent in-ear pair of headphones with shooting / construction earmuffs, depending on the clearances. That’s the best of both worlds IMO. Also, don’t worry about looking derpy; I give you blanket permission to not care :-)

How are cars drive by wire? Sure, newer cars have electric power steering, but I would guess that 99% of cars older than 10 years use hydraulic power steering and brakes.

Even then, it takes very little software to do electric power steering, so I'm not sure how you would consider this at all comparable to autonomous driving.
That comparison to Toronto is absurd. It’s a metro area with many times the population and density of the other cities listed. And what the hell is this?

“Below is a set of maps that show the present-day network rail and bus lines operating at least every 30 minutes, all day to midnight, seven days a week”

This effectively excludes every bus line, because there is no reason for bus lines to run the same route all day long. This is one of the major advantages of buses.
That was a hilarious read! Know more stories like it? I only got reliable Internet access in 2008 (kid in a third world country) and I've always been interested in the dot-com bubble days.

You've got to be stupid to retaliate against workers unionizing. They're going to get screwed.

I don't think unionizing was going to save their jobs though. Looks like the business wasn't doing too well, and they were trying to jettison their juniormost engineers. The whole thing was probably going to go under.
Who knows?

It seems like what you're saying is less that vertical integration is good (which you're actually arguing against) and more that Apple isn't actually that vertically integrated.
> What kind of device or system of devices do you think will fully replace the current concept of a smartphone?

Today, my Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad provide different "lenses" on my digital self + my digital stuff. If I run an errand without my phone, I can still make phone calls, text my wife, play my music, etc.

Things like CarPlay, Apple TVs, and HomePods are other lenses. CarPlay happens to need an iPhone now, but something wearable will be enough to power CarPlay at some point. Eventually, cars will have enough native computing power and connectivity that they won't require a proxy device to work.

By 2030 I expect AR smart glasses to be fairly common, hopefully with less-conspicuous options for people who don't need vision correction. Maybe they'll be powerful enough on their own, or work more like CarPlay and require a wearable complement. Additionally, voice user interfaces will continue to evolve and work with all of these lenses.

TLDR: Instead of today's "hero device" model, I think we're moving toward an "many devices" model.
I completely agree. My QC20s are probably hands down the best electronics purchase I have made. A gadget that has significantly increased my quality of life, and they last a long time.
Is the implication that bootcamp engineers will come up with the wrong data models and relationships? I bet Hackbright teaches you more about SQL than my entire CS degree from MIT did. (I took a graduate-level database class for a few weeks before dropping it; apart from that, I can't remember anything else about databases in theory, let alone SQL and ORMs in practice.)
Dang, how do we confirm this?

That’s a quote from the article.
I have much younger kids, and we also think this is very important. It seems like everything in a kid's life is so nerfed. For us it starts with letting the kids do things on the playground with an actual risk of injury (obviously we're trying to avoid actual serious injury, but we think the kids need agency).

It also involves letting them make decisions that can have bad outcomes that are largely harmless when they're young, like getting a stomach ache from too much candy, and clearly connecting the act to the consequence. So far it's worked pretty well, our kids have a good idea of what's healthy and what's not.

We're also going to do something like set up Etsy stores for the kids so that they get experience with buying supplies and making a product that's good enough for a stranger to buy, manipulating the web page (and eventually we'll move on to them making making their own Shopify or Wordpress sites), and running social media accounts for the businesses and what not. We're already getting one store started for our five year old who's really interested in making money (for now).

We're doing a lot of it now, but we're planning on having them take on more and more responsibility as they get older. Instead of doing chores (or in addition), they'll be actually interacting with the world in a way that's analagous to adulthood. Who knows how it will play out, but we're excited to see what happens.
I agree.

If I may be fair to myself, the incident in question was during peacetime in the middle of nowhere and was completely routine. Yes that monotony and similar can be a Great Evil, but still... all of my wow.
While you are correct that the "evidence" is speculative, I've long thought that the seemingly coordinated push to get avg. people to use VPNs was suspicious. Additionally, when I articles and comments rationalizing why one company is better than another, I see a lot of holes in what's said. For example, people don't seem to understand that registering (basing) a company in one place doesn't preclude it from operating elsewhere.

Another thing, most people, including me, don't know who the owners and operators of these companies are. I see lots of comments about wanting to avoid gov't surveillance and the like, but w/o knowing the deets on the owners and operators, people could be just making the surveillance easier; same is to be said for those trying to avoid giving the data to their ISP (maybe the ISP owns all or a stake in one's VPN).

So, I think that RR's advice in one of his/her articles about avoiding all of them is probably fair, although considered impractical for the average person @ this point.
No one ever talks about that little clause in the react terms that says fb can revoke your license if they feel you are infringing on their parents.

That's right, fb can legally block your access to react if they determine you are a threat to fb at large. For that reason, and the fact that it is owned by fb, I have very little interest in ever using it.
I’ve been on that ramp, and it wasn’t too bad. Usually the speed of traffic isn’t that high due to the stoplight just before it, and people usually just wait at the yield until it turns red.
Oooh, Joel Splosky hates that!

But, I have to agree. Some trivia helps quickly identify the people who don't really understand a technology. It's also useful if you're trying to hire an expert in something you aren't.

What do I mean? For example, I'm not an expert in Objective C. I've written quite a bit, but sometimes I need to hire someone who clearly knows more than I do. So what do I do? I ask questions like, how does memory management work? What does autorelease mean? These are topics that someone who's been working with the language for years needs to know! But, someone who really hasn't done much Objective C might not know.

A little bit of a tangent, but,

> Earlier this month, after five years of organizing, security officers for companies including Facebook, Google, and Genentech, many of whom were making between $12 and $14 an hour, ratified their first union contract. They won wage increases of up to $1.20 per hour, better health care, and, for the first time, paid holidays.

How is this rational? Do Facebook and Google believe they are facing no advanced persistent threats capable of bribing someone who lives in the Bay Area on $12/hour?
But that’s what you’re supposed to do here, right? There’s a yield sign.

A corporate VPN makes sense.

Using an untrusted VPN to do something like tunnel an HTTPS connection to get around geo-blocking makes sense.

Using a paid VPN to protect ones privacy, has never made any sense to me. The vast majority of those companies I've seen are sketchy as can be. A VPN is just about perfectly situated to track users - possibly better than even the ISP since the VPN provider doesn't have to contend with a NAT device obscuring the number of actual users. Combine that opportunity, with the fact that many VPN providers have minimal name recognition - in case of bad press, spend $10 on a new domain name - and are competing on price with what appear must be small margins. What would really surprise me would be a report that proved that the vast majority of paid VPN providers aren't up to some funny business. Yet, someone VPNs have a reputation of being a mechanism to protect privacy.

his outburts of overt racism coincided with defining his life around being a technological prophet of god/being actively pursued by the CIA; if you're to believe that he held racist thoughts all along and that his illness only removed the filter, are you to believe that he also espoused those other two beliefs and they were only being kept in check?
One hack I’m doing for my procrastination and perfectionism is to tell myself that “I’ll fix it next year”. So if I’ve made repairs on the house and am not satisfied that it’s perfect enough, I tell myself, and make a note to “fix it next year.” Usually, when next year rolls around I’m now ok with it...
