Lived in a place once almost ten years ago. The landlord decided that because they lived upstairs they had the right to enter our suite whenever he wanted, despite this being completely illegal. One time my girlfriend came out of the shower to find him standing in our living room.

Came home once our door was just sitting open, the landlord had come in while we were gone and just left our door sitting open. The landlord.had come in and went through our drawers and stuff. Didn't tell us until we asked why our door was open.

We had the cops called on us for apparently smoking weed in the suite, we never did this, we also used to watch the landlords wife hang out with her son and his friends while they smoked weed in the front yard. By the time the cops left they told the landlord and his wife to stop bothering us...this never happened.

Our rental agreement was for a year. Our only recourse would have been to go through a long complaint process where we had to have a bunch of proof of this being an ongoing thing, then we'd have to sit down with an arbitrator and our landlord and once again prove this was happening. Luckily our landlord decided to break our rental agreement by whiting out the part, of the one copy that existed, we never even got a copy of it, that said one year, writing in pen 3 months then kicked us out so his adult son could live there. We also never got our damage deposit back with no reason given despite not even living in the place long enough to really even unpack.

In the end it worked out for the best but despite our landlord's continued breaking of our agreement and the law, we ended up losing our deposit, being forced to find a new place and move just after going back to school and we had no real options or recourse to stop any of it. Everything was set up to make any kind of complaint about landlords go through a lengthy arbitration process with the tenancy board and police won't get inolved, if a tenant complains, until after that fails, we tried calling the cops, they said to call the tenancy board.. The whole process for that would have taken longer than the three months we actually lived there and would have cost us money we really couldn't have afforded to spend.

Change ...

- causes uncertainty (will this still work?);

- often comes at an inconvenient time;

- requires the user to re-learn the software;

- might cause incompatibilities with existing tools.

No wonder people mostly don't like updates, especially if they are forced upon them, and if the advantages are not clear.

Imho, to address the above points, software should let the user decide when they perform the update, and the user should always be allowed to switch back. Note that this might require data to be migrated back and forth, but of course that's the vendor's problem.
Retina display also takes into account how far the device is from your eyes so higher PPI means you can't see the pixels when holding it closer.
It's complicated, but quite fascinating to see how we got to where we are today.

You are correct that some drugs were being discounted 95%+ below AWP and the entire spread was being pocketed by pharmacies.

For a very fascinating story, google Ven-a-Care Pharmacy.[1] Their entire business model turned in suing drug manufacturers on behalf of the gov't under the False Claims Act. Since they were a pharmacy, they had visibility into both the prices that drug manufacturers charged and the reimbursement the gov't paid. I believe most of their cases were related to the drug manufacturers not correctly reporting their prices to the gov't, thus causes Medicaid and Medicare to overpay.

Last I heard they had collected over $300M in whistleblower settlements.

>The computer belongs to the User. It's sole purpose is to compute, FOR THE USER. If your software is running on someone else's machine.

I can literally pop open a dialog box asking for permission to browse your Documents and extract some 'interesting' data and I bet 70% of users will click "ok", since, well, that's what The Computer (like it's its own sentient entity) "wants me to do", and I need to get my work done.

Your suggestion simply cannot work, because 99.9999% of users don't hack their own .vimrc and have no idea what the heck those annoying boxes are asking of them, but they do know that by clicking "OK", the box goes away.
> don't forget to test your site at 640x480 with 256 colors.

Don't forget: you couldn't (or shouldn't) bring your own 256 color palette, because the actual palette would be a compromise between all the applications open - so you were forced/encouraged to use the "Web palette", which contained a fixed set of 216 colors.
> Does it make the watch a medical-grade device and I can do ECG using the watch instead of going to the hospital?

This is what I am afraid of. People might think that buying a watch will replace visit with a cardiologist (or even using professional home holter) to make a serious ECG measurement (not 30s one, but full 24h scan).
> I guarantee there isn't a single person in this thread who could tell me what someone's squat form should look like based on their femur:torso ratio and hip/ankle flexibility.

Flat lumbar, stance roughly shoulder width, though exact placement is up to the individual's preference and morphology as long as it doesn't induce valgus collapse. Knees tracking over toes to avoid shear forces on the hinge joint, hip crease to below the top of the knee (which is actually parallel, and is much lower than what people think is "parallel"). High/low bar up to personal preference, whichever most easily keeps the weight over center of gravity. Shoes up to preference and ankle mobility as long as they're hard-soled. Start with box squats if the trainee is having trouble with depth or the hinge. Easy peasy.

The hip hinge and vertical lift-off trained by the squat is an _exceptionally_ important movement - that's the one that'll keep you from needing assistance to get off the toilet in your advanced age. Want to be able to see what's on the bottom shelf of the fridge without twisting your back and neck into pretzel shapes? Learn to squat. Deadlift training is useful literally any time you'd pick something up off the ground, even if it's of trivial weight. You learn to "lift with your legs, not with your back" by deadlifting. I helped a friend move last weekend and every single box I picked up from the ground was the same motion as my deadlift - and my back didn't ache at all the next day like it used to before I started lifting, oddly enough. Want to pick up your kids and not throw out your back? Learn to deadlift.

Squat is a moderately complex lift, but it's no clean and jerk. Deadlift is just learning to stand up properly. Bench press is a _simple_ movement, and teaching it is mostly about teaching upper back tightness. Work in a proper power rack and/or with a spotter and risk is extremely minimal. If you run around trying to max out your bench without a spotter and without any training, sure, you're at risk of getting hurt. Literally nobody in this thread is advocating that.

Can you get injured lifting? Sure. People do. People also get injured walking down the street, picking up their kids, opening soda cans, falling down stairs, and a billion other ways. Even more dangerous is being a sedentary blob who slowly rots away due to cardiac disease. Life is dangerous - but the strong individual is going to be a lot more resilient than the average Joe, and you don't get strong without putting your body under stress - and therefore at some risk of injury, But, as Mark Rippetoe likes to say "Strong people are harder to kill than weak people and more useful in general."

Product managers are valuable to have involved in product planning and design and in big picture acceptance testing, but they shouldn’t be gatekeepers. If you can, create a policy that prevents them from blocking deployment.

If you can’t do that: Give them access early when it’s still in a rough stage so that big things can be fixed early and so that they can feel they’ve had their way by reporting (obvious) real bugs instead of bikeshedding.

Then as you approach launch, set a cutoff date. Anything not fixed by then will be treated as a bug to be priorized and fixed as part of the general backlog.

Then the product manager can decide whether they’d rather fix their bikeshed nitpick or some other real bug.
I think the certification means, that all the hardware parts of the device are supported by the OS. The device itself might not even be tested to see if there are no other issues. Generally, it's a problem with newly released devices, that don't have many active users yet.
You have no idea how often I am asked that :-)

We work for a telco, and this was just a learning exercise to understand the opportunities and challenges with LPWA. While waiting for NB-IoT chipsets and network rollout. We mostly set up the shop to have a orderly way for people to get the devices from us if they want to experiment (free stuff has a tendency to end up lining people's drawers unused)

We built everything from (and including) the devices to the applications, and everything inbetween minus the LoRa gateway. The attitude being "okay we can read a bunch of datasheets and PPT-decks, but we're not going know anything unless we get hands on". So we did.

The modules were just to get the radio and MCU bits into a reusable module which we then used for about a dozen or so prototypes. We run Apache MyNewt on them (the EE-02 was actually used to develop LoRa support for MyNewt).

Since Nordic Semiconductor are in the same building the nRF52 was a pretty obvious choice (I think we might have been the first customer). They make lovely chips. And I'm not getting paid to say that :-).

We did think about building a gateway as well, but we felt it didn't add much to the exercise.

And now? Now we are doing the whole exercise again for NB-IoT, but this time it is to apply what we've learnt. That being said: we plan to open source stuff in the future. Both hardware and software.
Keep is the next app that I expect to get axed. It's amazing and hugely useful and, crucially, nobody ever talks about it - just like Inbox. Perfectly positioned to be killed.
The word "producer" is misleading. No new oil is being produced. Should be largest "Extractor." Too bad. Wouldn't it be better to buy from other countries and leave your reserves in the ground? In the future, once all the easy to extract oil is gone, the US will have to buy from abroad at potentially higher prices.
Maybe? There is an existing nag screen for that (default browser selection).

Is that similar to the functionality provided by Twist from Doist? It's not email based but it seems to be a hybrid of Email and Slack. I've only messed with it a few times and never with Google Wave, but it sounds similar to what you're describing.

That's it, once you stop thinking about the typical tech ideas as your central focus and start thinking about things you can do quickly and make money at the world has millions of waiting clients and ideas.

I have brought this up before on HN, if you look around in any town you will find plumbers, electricians and other "trades" people (or mom & pop shops) who started their business and have some basic business sense. Many are sitting on businesses that have high margins and can easily become multi-million dollar businesses (or already are) and make their founders quite wealthy. A lot of time people get so focused in their narrow area they forget to look outside of the industry or type of work they do. I am not suggesting you become a plumber, just that if you look at those businesses there are always needs to fulfill for people. And technology as a whole seriously ignores traditional businesses like these, a mistake I do not make.

To find these ideas, talk to everyone. I even found clients from talking to fellow parents at my kids sporting events. We'd talk about work they'd open up where they worked and I'd chat them up about what the opportunities and issues were. 90% of communication is listening and asking calculated (not in the evil sense) questions.

I always follow the rule that every issue, complaint or failure is an opportunity to provide value, even if it was my own.

From what I've read Redbox is buying Disney "combo packs" that contain a physical DVD or Blu-Ray disc and a printed code that can be used for streaming the movie.

Redbox has been splitting those, renting the disc from its kiosks, and selling the piece of paper containing the printed code.

As far as I can see, it is the codes that are at issue, not the renting of the physical discs.

Doesn't work for me:

$ git log origin..
fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin..': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

$ git log origin.. --
fatal: bad revision 'origin..'

No, not really. They still have the ability to flood the market and cause prices to tank, which would wreak havoc on the US fracking industry.
I have some younger kids who have the SE models, I like them because they are cheap(er), they work in the apple ecosystem I have, they are small enough for kids to carry around w/o breaking them, and I can easily track everyone.

"So bad is this legislation that it's almost enough to make me change my views on Brexit."

I am not British and I don't (nor have I ever) live in the UK.

I also have a very limited knowledge of that culture and economy, garnering most of what I know from reading the LRB every few weeks.

But all else being equal I am happier in a world post-brexit because I want very much for there to be diversity in governance and nation states.

I realize it creates inefficiencies and I also realize that to what degree you can say states are "competing" with each other for citizens is quite low (since it's a fairly sticky relationship) but I want some diversity to exist.
While there is some evil involved with targetted advertising there is a significant difference between that and direct data selling. The latter would be way worse. One tries to sell you weird stuff after you look up the infamous giant barrel of lube after hearing about all of the joke reviews. The other gives the lines of an honest man to hang you with to anyone willing to pay and spin you as a colossal pervert.

It is why video rentals were protected information. That and the sublime trolling of reading Robert Bork's video rentals into official record after he stated there was no constitutional right to privacy.

I do the exact same thing. I find WIP stash-per-branch very useful when I'm context switching often between feature branches. I've got two aliases set up for this -- `git wip` and `git popwip`:

$ git config --global alias.wip
!git add --all && git commit -am 'wip'

$ git config --global alias.popwip
!git log -1 --pretty=%B | grep -q '^wip$' && git reset HEAD^ || echo 'HEAD is not a wip commit'
For me it's "git outgoing".
I still don't see this as a new phenomenon. Before Android phones there were Game Gears. Before those we had Tiger Electronics handhelds. Before those we had comic books.

The only major thing that seems to have changed are the names of the distractions.
They'll never get me. I'll just become even weirder :)
> do something useful

Well that's bad faith if I've ever seen it. Not every industry out there has to be "useful", some are there for convenience. One could also argue that allowing people to switch from vaping to smoking is a huge plus in risk reduction and potentially (for now, with the data we have, more than likely) health.

This is not a new observation. Robert Putnam wrote about this in his book American Grace [0]. We saw this in the 70's and 80's with the rise of the Moral/Religious Right. Church attendances, especially in newer, Evangelical churches grew. This demographic/identity shift was essentially a reaction against the major social movements of the Sixties - civil rights, women's lib, and the youth movements.

That's unfortunate. I really liked Inbox (other than the horrible performance)
There is a joke here somewhere relating Apple's marketing speak and Trump's speech patterns...
Settings -> Inbox -> Categories is analogous, although IMO the UI isn't as nice. I also don't know if that lets you do custom bundles, although that's a feature I never used in Inbox.

Edit: and the gmail version of bundles has fewer categories than Inbox does
Also "the language"? The french republic started actively suppressing all local languages (breton, auvergnat, arabic, kabyle, …) starting from the mid 19th century and until late in the 20th, this ramped up significantly with the free, universal and mandatory education laws of 1881 and 1882: all education was done in french.

Alsatian is probably one of the local languages which suffered least due to Alsace having been conquered by Germany in 1870, and being reintegrated with its own set of laws and exemptions in 1918.

Hell, the republic just grouped everything which wasn't standard french under patois, regardless of them being languages, dialects, creoles, ….

Though just so we're clear, this is a long-standing issue of the french state and its centralised habits: Louis XIV banned Catalan back in 1700.
Depends, right?

If, left in drive gear, yes. However, many cars have several options.

In my current car, a Honda, rhe lowest gear will just creep along, next gear up will slow the car rapidly on gas pedal release.

Both gears are very well chosen for traffic. I rarely apply brake.
I don't understand Google here. Clearly Gmail is not the final word about email user interface, and Inbox was a very promising first step. I can understand, if Inbox did not receive enough attention, to start moving Inbox to different directions, but how is it possible that Google has no space for a permanent alternative UI testing project?
> Who cares if embedded runtime is 100 Kb or 2000 Kb?

We ran Lua on the PSP with 8MB of system memory inside a pre-allocated block of 400kb. Did the whole game logic and state management with no hiccups(and this was before LuaJIT).

Not everything is desktop scale, lots of applications in spaces like routers, wearables and other constrained devices.

I've also seen few langauges handle coroutines and clean and simple as Lua does them.
When Portrait Mode was first released, they said that the camera array splits the field up into 9 (IIRC) depths based on distance. So probably what's happening here is they save the depth metadata so that you can adjust how blurred you want the background to be.
I like the search capability of inbox - it always was better than gmail.

It had it quirks due to "designed to focus on what really matters." - actually meaning: "we'll ignore what you want and need and do it the way we think you need".

These are really unfortunate news! :(

My stress level just went up after opening gmail.com after few years since I switched to Inbox.

Being used to just swiping emails that I didn't need to attend, I didn't realize they were still in "unread" status.

Now when I opened Gmail, I see:

Social 190
Updates 4,856
Forums 3,329
Promotions 4,214

The worst part is that I cannot see which of those "Unread" emails are pinned in Inbox.

And.. we cannot Pin emails in Gmail the same way as in Inbox :( [I have already read the "Pin emails" section in https://support.google.com/inbox/answer/9117840, but starring/labeling/searching doesn't give the convenience that Inbox pinning did.]

I'll also miss all the rich email rendering of emails like shipping tracking, flight tickets, appointments, etc.

Alas..

---

Update: And of course Google would discontinue Inbox. Inbox did not have ads, but Gmail has freaking ads!
