I am member of rands and for breadth of membership and discussion it is impossible to beat. I have met up with folks from that slack a couple of times in the real world and that has been fun. But it's been occasional, for understandable reasons.
Common enough, the other approach is to have the the manufacturer print a label of your choosing on your batch. no one likes it and anyone serious is going to decap it and figure it out anyway.
I suspect this is the primary motivator, and oddly far down in the discussion.

2:01:39, and he ran the second half without any pacer. He bested the previous WR from 2014 by 1:14. This was an amazing performance and I'll be surprised if anyone but Kipchoge is able to improve upon it for a long time.

(Aside, there's currently a mistake in this article: Last year, on a racecar track in Italy, Kipchoge ran a marathon in less than two hours. No, he ran 2:00:25 there.)

Ask HN: Making a chatbot for my classrom – which API is the easiest to use?
Sorry, this is not a "I didn't google it" and I would like to show my students what you could do with few API calls.

Project is simple - a web form which makes an API call to the Chatbot API and responds to a few messages. It's a 1-2 hour demonstration to students, me live-coding.

I haven't find a service which I could easily register (with only email), obtain the API for, maybe, 50 calls per account at least. Almost every service asks for a card and other types of verification.

Thank you very much HN!
Amazing achievement by Kipchoge.

And yet more lazy reporting by NY Times. At the end of the article, the author says, "last year, Kipchoge ran a marathon on a racetrack in Italy in less than two hours".

No, he didn't, despite us all wanting him to. He missed 1:59:59 by about 30 seconds.

The whole point of the experiment was for him to come under the 2hr mark. Don't say, "he ran it in under 2hrs", when we were all heartbroken that he didn't.
No, this is pretty much how coordinated transaction scheduling works with several of the power markets in the US like NYISO & PJM. You put in a transfer you want based on a certain spread between each market's price.

It’s possible to turn bluetooth on while in flight mode.
People use bluetooth headphones a lot in flight.
One of the premier use case of Bose’s noise cancelling bluetooth headphones is to use on planes.
No announcement is made to ask people to not use bluetooth.
No flight attendant asks people to not use bluetooth headphones.
Planes are not crashing.

It’s probably safe to use bluetooth headphones on a plane.
"Hard to analyze" is a property nonlinear systems have. It's not the meaning of the term.

Much longer? No, unless you're comparing to using fast charge with a 30W charger and USB-C to Lightning cable. Somewhat longer? Yes. 7.5W is common for induction chargers. Apple's iPhone chargers in the box have long been 5W; I don't know what the wattage will be on this year's iPhone chargers.

>We are only on the first steps of the urban revolution. It seems as if nothing has changed with the increased usage of said bikes but an uptick in associated accidents. But that was also the case when the car was introduced to the city. People demanded that every car be led by a man walking in front of it with a warning flag in hand. The car frightened both horses and pedestrians and claimed road rights. The public was furious, safety advocates wrote impassioned articles and demanded that cars be prevented from entering the city… sound familiar?

Good insight. Many people in my city decry bicycles and scooters (motorised or not) as a danger to pedestrians, but deaths and serious injury are almost always the result of a pedestrian being hit by a car. People complain that dockless rental scooters and bicycles block the sidewalk, but I have never experienced being blocked by one. On the other hand, I frequently have to navigate around cars parked on the sidewalk, blocking it completely. There is a cultural blindness to the problems caused by cars.

Dried nuts ship and store better. You can soak or steam most dried nuts and legumes for a fresher consistency or shorter cooking times.

Where I'm from, fresh Pecans are sweet, pliant, and heavy- pretty typical mammoth halves. The products from the store are not very similar, but that's the cost of keeping them from going rancid on the shelves.

I also soak almonds before pulverizing for a number of un-cooked/toasted Indian dishes. Dried, they're mealy and not very aromatic. Soaked, they're a lot smoother.
Remember also this is the guarantee made to all users.
I expect larger users get a lot more than that.
Such an unrelated libertarian quote that gets blindly posted and blindly upvoted. The EU is having a problem with the US companies running the show over their internet space. They don't intend to lock ordinary people up with this law. So you think it' be better for the companies to hold unlimited power and control people? That'd be much worse than moderate and sensible government regulations.
Not sure I'd call it a competency, but I'd say a significant edge was a willingness build something & essentially create the demand. Bit like the Ford quote:

>“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”

On competency - probably some mix between UX & industrial design?
> It genuinely is better in some ways and an acceptable complete replacement.

And worse is some ways. It is not absolutely better; and, for plenty of people, not "an acceptable complete replacement".

Your claim in your original comment ("Anyone who has felt a tug at their head from headphones getting snagged by something accidently[sic] is quickly sold to the merits of wireless.") is also far from convincing that wireless is "an acceptable complete replacement", or even better than wired in more than one minor way.

> If you're sold on wireless you don't need a headphone jack.

In which case, I repeat, you keep using wireless. A headphone jack does not hurt those who want to use wireless. Removing the jack actively denies them a feature, while doing little for those who want to use wireless. Not to mention, removing the jack does not sell people on wireless, it forces them to choose between a dongle and wireless; or worse, a different platform.
What does number of users have to do with software development know how?

Absolutely nothing.
I mostly agree, but wasn’t making them independent from each other (ie no cord between the two sides) an innovation?
Sharing knowledge respectfully and without overstatement or misrepresentation is a bar I’m not willing to lower. We’ll have to settle for disagreeing on this point.
That would probably make it worse since USB-C audio is such a mess right now.
That is not the meaning of the term. However, if you are to describe what the big deal is about finding ways to analyze nonlinear systems to lay people then what better description is there?

This is just silly. First, Steve Jobs would have cut these obsolete interfaces just as ruthlessly as Apple has done so under Tim Cook. Jobs had a long history of doing so. Second, this almost certainly wasn't even Tim Cook's call. I don't think Tim tells Jony Ive and the iPhone team which design decisions to make.

Is this for real CTOs, or "CTO"s of companies of 1, just out of bootcamp?
I assume not, but a factory designed one would be. Several of my phones are waterproof and have 3.5mm plugs.
Yep. Connections are fast, bandwidth is cheap and storage is capacious. Developers on the other hand are expensive.
Preferences?

I think what you're missing is that money is one type of power, and that basically the study of economics, politics and culture are all just different ways of studying human relationships, of which inequalities of power are a crucial part. There are two broad types of relationships: relationships of rough equality and relationships of gross inequality of power. The latter are almost always abusive, because if you are in a position of much greater power than someone else, it's just too tempting and easy to take advantage of them. Preferences have little to do with it.
While I’m definitely not a fan of losing the headphone jack, and don’t love not being able to use my headphones and charge my phone, I do see one positive side effect, and I wonder if Apple is doing it on purpose.

You can now buy $20 bluetooth earbuds from Anker that are pretty decent. Apple saying “guess what, everybody: you love bluetooth” has forced the market to respond, and that whole price-down-quality-up thing is really starting to happen.

This, of course, is of no use to people who depend on minimal latency. It will be a very long time, if ever, before bluetooth can match hardwired latency.

What we really need next from Apple is for them to replace lightning with USB-C. I’d love to see the ability to choose to externalize the DAC+amplifier without buying either a lightning-only accessory or a camera adapter. Oh, and also be able to charge the phone while we’re at it.
“Is there any evidence that variety of, say, produce in markets/grocery stores is less now than a hundred years ago?”

Not in markets, because a hundred years ago most people didn't get their produce from a market. They got it from their own gardens or the local farm.

The issue here is that back then, there were lots and lots of different varieties of a given crop, all of them grown regionally. There are thousands and thousands of varieties of corn. In 1915, 200 of these were grown commercially in Kansas. Today, Reid Yellow Dent, a type of field corn, has basically take over the market. 99% of all corn grow in the US is a subvariety of yellow dent.

Walk into your market. When it's in season you will find a bin of sweet corn (which is not field corn). There will be one variety. Thre will be one variety of broccoli. Three or four varieties of potatoes. Two types of summer squash, one of which will be zucchini.

At a high end market you will be given a choice between two types of beef: “beef” and “angus beef”. One type of lamb, and one type of chicken. But there are hundreds of varieties of beef cow, tens of varieties of meet sheep, and at least fifty different varieties of meat or dual-use chicken.

Look through a good heirloom seed catalog some time (I like Southern Exposure Seed Exchange). You'll find a hundred types of tomato, fifteen or twenty types of potato, ten types of sweet potato, twenty varieties of corn, ten varieties of broccoli. Plus some crops that you just can't find in a market.

It's not that any individual's food choices are more constrained now than they used to be; that's clearly not the case. It's that the total amount of genetic diversity in corn, potatoes, or whatever, as a fraction of the total acreage of those crops, has dropped precipitously.
> Again, I know most of the constraints they have.

That's the problem. You and I both have no clue. Do you really, in your heart and hearts, believe that writing an app for the number of markets Facebook has, with all their weird quirks and all the features they support would have 50% of the constraints imposed by Apple?

Look, I do get your point and there are nuggets of truth to them, but overall your argument is like someone saying: "pfft, Google runs millions of servers? I've written assembly, they could run their whole infrastructure on 10 servers if they just knew how to write proper software".

I hope you can see how patently ridiculous that is.

Mainstream macro economics is 'captured', and they have been behaving like high priests justifying dubious policies. [1]

The 80s onwards have seen massive CEO pay increases, financialization, asset inflation, deregulation, the vulgar celebration of greed by economists and on the other side wage stagnation, increasing inequality, the 2008 crisis and endless bailouts.

Greenspan and others are happy to gloat about cornering labour in Congress [2]. This is an odious statement made without protest from members.

Macro economists can continue to be tone deaf and believe the narratives of emh, rational expectations, 'freetrade' and 'assumptions' that are disconnected from reality but there is now significant dissent and resistance to these narratives. [3]

Evonomics is a good place to start getting a perspective of the scale of problems, and people need to do this untill there is a complete meaculpa and clean up of corporate and vested interests, untill then every single thing macro economists say needs to be questioned and verified.

Only problem I had with ancestry is that they sold me to a mailing list or people are mining it somehow for physical mailings. So far two separate religious organizations that my wife would have ancestry with based in their DNA tests started hard campaigning her to join the Quaker church. According to ancestry.com she was a direct descendant of some big shot in the church. I'm convinced their selling groups DNA profiles of some sort or allowing them to target them in marketing campaigns.

Agree, I love wireless audio and I've used decent bluetooth headphones on and off for a decade now. But that still makes the removal of the headphone jack a disaster and I miss it every day.

Apples user might have become accustomed to the dongle life but it is unbearable. Also, my non-standard dongle have started to glitch and buying a new one costs about 100x more than it is worth. Go figure.

It might have felt better if there was a reason for it. But no, there is absolutely no sane reason to ditch it other than forcing people to buy wireless peripherals. And that is just unacceptable. Too bad alternatives are running out.

This is all also under the assumption that bluetooth is good enough. It isn't.

This is also under the assumption that bluetooth is secure. It isn't.
I am not ina field so question may be dumb. How do researchers control for possible non-neural factors and non-RNA factors? E.g. continuous light shocks increase the level of stress hormone responsible for slowing down muscle relaxation. This additional hormone is transferred, alongside RNA (how do you transfer only RNA?) and that increases response time in receiving slugs.
Make sure you don't have custom user-agents. I had the same problem and it was because the app was trying to use APIs that didn't exist on Firefox.
Affiliate links are probably a better way to go than pure ads. e.g. Amazon

You can have a gander over at old.reddit.com/r/juststart - there are lots of case study type posts that give you a sense of how these things scale (or don't).
It is Marks & Spencers responsibility, even if there's nothing they could have done differently. You're their customer. In this scenario, when the DVD they sold you didn't work the way you wanted it to, they are the ones you should complain to, and they should give you a refund.
Well, sure, thats one simplistic way of looking at it. Code is code.

I think the more accurate way would be that scale has absolutely everything to do with it, from the way you develop your systems at the very lowest layer (architecture, code layout, optimisations) to the very highest (the UI).

Designing software for 1,000,000,000 users is an entirely different ballpark than for 1,000. Different trade offs, different restrictions, different everything.

There is a reason Google had to invent their own freaking database (using atomic clocks to handle transactions no less) to get to their scale, and it's not because they were a bit bored and fancied giving it a go.
>But if the unimaginable happens, that would leave us with cryptography based solely on information theory: one-time pads and their variants.

If I remember correctly Zones of Thought series by Vernor Vinge has aliens that can do that (I don't want to spoil out why, because it's one of the great ideas in the book). As a countermeasure, there are spaceships carrying massive amount of bits around to be used as one-time pads.
Key word: "necessary"

In a walkable environment you can still make longer trips using other modes.

First line of the Wikipedia page is fine: "In mathematics and science, a nonlinear system is a system in which the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input."

Scientific American's typical reader surely understands a) the concept of a function b) the concept of proportionality.

It's fine to say that nonlinear systems are difficult to analyze, or have a reputation for being difficult to analyze. But it's bad practice for a science communicator even to run the risk of giving people the impression that the difficulty is part of the meaning (definition) of the word.

Tokyo is a good example of a city that is very walkable, but it is also very bikeable, and has top-tier transit, and you can even own a car. The same cannot be said for places that are planned to exclude walking simply based on the distance between destinations.
Whoa that’s insane. Mind sharing how you can get to 800k in 4 years. I just hit my first year at Google. I’m likely getting my second Strongly Exceeds in perf but no idea what my stock refresh will be. Assuming you’d have to do some smart investing to get that high so quickly.

Edit: Think I misunderstood. My regular salary will be about that much total in 4 years.
Maybe you just don't like superhero movies. There are, in fact, other movies that have been made.
The line you quote from Wikipedia is not the definition of a nonlinear system.

EDIT: The definition depends on the area of math you are working in. The definition of a nonlinear system of differential equations is different than the definition of a nonlinear system of polynomial equations in commutative algebra. As far as the article in question it's an accurate description of the problem and why it's a big deal.
Can't wait for the supplemental update for this (I doubt they have time to revise the GM releases for watchOS and iOS but maybe they can fix Mojave.).
There is no reason why it should take any longer. Induction chargers can deliver much more power than a phone battery can use.
Man, I really find myself on the opposite end of the spectrum here. The only thing I love about my airports is the charging case. Size wise it's great.

However, airpods are uncomfortable, always feel like they're going to fall out. I've already had to replace one of them because they're easily lost. The sound quality is so-so. I have to crank the volume way up because there isn't any kind of noise isolation, much less noise cancellation.

All around they're a very very average product offering.
That is a bit dated, C# fixed that problem many years ago [1]

But there are still instances where the VB.net syntax is nicer than c#, for instance date litterals, or array litterals:

C# foreach(var x in new string[] {"A", "B", "C"})

VB For Each x in {"A", "B", "C"}

Also switch statements in C# are horrendous. But there are also instances where C# has a better syntax, like "x=>x+1" is way more elegant and practical than "Function(x) x+1".

But I think the writing is on the wall. VB will go the way of Winforms, i.e. sort of supported but nothing more.
