No. 95% of the times I use it it's for checking opening hours and phone numbers of restaurants and stores in the other end of town. The other 5% of the time it's to check the distance from a hotel to nearby airport and attractions before I even decide to book the trip.

My current location has no relevance whatsoever in any of these use cases. My last viewed location in the app is usually much more relevant than my current physical location. And if its not then the center my location button is just one click away (plus another click for consent)

Very very rarely I do actually use turn-by-turn navigation but those few times shouldn't have destroy the experience for the more used scenarios. It would be so easy to prompt for location when this is activated and that's how it used to work before. This is very clearly a dark UX just to collect more data because I haven't met anyone who likes this "feature".
Why? This was a decade ago, and they were basically children when it happened. The product itself is a fine product and I've used it with about 35 consulting customers since, there aren't too many other options, and none of them are as good as PagerDuty.
Yeah I thought that yellow block was an ad overlay or something at first. They should move it to the side so it doesn't affect reading the content.
I don't know if the keto diet is healthy, but making a statement like that is.. pretty much guranteed to step on somebody's toes.

Even if you don't consume any carbohydrates, your body will produce some to continue its processes. So it will step on someone's toes only if they're science ignorant.

EDIT: Carbohydrates are used throughout your body. One example: as receptors on your cell membranes. The guff about "ketones are not carbs" below is a great example of how, "it will step on someone's toes only if they're science ignorant."
I've had it happen in Tor browser, but that seems tied to the IP address, since I can usually click "switch identity", solve one more CAPTCHA, then it'll let me in.
Listening to the same genre means that you're not as willing to search anymore. So even if you're still interested in _your_ kinds of music, you're not interest in exploring the musical landscape as much as you did -- your preferences have solidified.

But, honestly, I don't know how all this is controversial, unless someone is 20 and all their friends are too.

I'd expect anybody over 30 or so to verify that even if music is still a big deal for them, it's not as much for most of their friends as it was in their teen years and early 20s.

Unless you're 30 and all your friends are eg. DJs and techno-heads or heavy-metal fans still rocking those leather pants, the usual course is that they are more interesting in their careers, families, new babies, and binge watching TV and surfing, than following music, even if that was a big part of their identity in their teens. Is that inaccurate?

Are you saying the Thinkpad is a bad laptop? I'm a bit confused.

I also have the 5th edition (my first new Linux laptop) and I can't even begin to say how happy with it I've been. Setting up all my UIs and learning how to use Linux as a "User" not an "Administrator" has been a lot of fun. I now start the network instinctively with a quick terminal command (fish history is great). I quickly got used to (and now much prefer) a tiling window manager like i3. And above all, I've gotten used to the extra work of reading through changes to packages as they come in with Arch.

This laptop feels "just right" as a recent Apple user. It's got that anti-apple vibe, without feeling like a crap piece of plastic.

Now all Lenovo/Linux needs to do is match Apple's trackpad feel, and I'll call this is wash.

We'll have to wait until we get to see a tear down. I strongly suspect they're using an FPGA or Movidius chip to do the 6DOF tracking.
How difficult is it to see what's happening on the ground at night from a plane? I've never been in a cockpit at night. I'd have to hope that taxiways are marked in some explicit way to make it clear that they're not runways, like with an X or some pattern of lights that's not on runways; or have all runways marked with an obvious pattern that indicates "land here" (so if you don't see that, you know you're not landing on a runway). Don't the runways have their names labeled in lights near the entrances? (Or is that only paint?)

I guess I'm surprised that it took so long for the pilots to see that there were other planes where they were landing.

Is it routine to keep binoculars in a cockpit? Could they have seen what was on the ground sooner if they'd looked through binoculars briefly (after noticing unexpected lights?)
True, though this decision had the dual-benefit of also reducing the complexity and costs of delivering the service.
Also that they cite fatigue / circadian low as one of the core causes. I thought they might avoid it because of the potential cost implications for the airline industry.
It was Cliqz.
I wish OpenWRT came with easy-to-configure out of the box fast roaming and a centralized configuration solution. It’s otherwise excellent, and my home network based on OpenWRT works quite well.
I didn't see anything specifically on this, but I think it would be fair to assume the screen will be significantly higher than the DK1. Even the resolution of the Oculus Go is far better.
And this is why Y Combinator may not be right for your startup. The 100 billion dollars of valuation listed on YC's website may not be up to date, but it's clear that the top 10% of companies make up the overwhelming majority of their portfolio. So they go for moonshots. And they also invest in multiple competitors in the same space in the hopes that one will pan out.

So if you're building the kind of company that might be worth $100 million someday but won't ever be worth $100 billion, VCs and startup incubators might not be right for you, but just remember that a rejection from them doesn't necessarily mean you aren't on to something great.
Unless things have drastically changed in the 2 years since I got my glasses, it's just going to be a special UV coating.

I adore this for whatever low or high tech. As for me all this web-font stuff seems a huge piece of BS (except for rare cases when a website is meant to be more of a piece of art than serving a practical function or when you need to use an exotic language letters of which are rare to be found in the standard fonts on clients' computers) and I just block external fonts all the time.
Did they? It's not like there was a referendum on whether to have an emperor, and then an election for who should be the emperor, and then periodic successive elections.

It was all a disaster through and through. From La Terreur to Napoleon and his wars, it was a disaster.

Worse than that, La Terreur set a pattern that has been repeated (and, sadly, "improved") in the many years since.
Troy's perspective seems to be lacking in several levels. The first thing is the nature of advertising. Advertising is an attack on the client to convince him to believe and ultimately to act in ways that could not be contrived through honest communication. It is an attempt to manipulate.

Even his very benign banner represents an attempt to manipulate. A company buying such a banner wants an author to speak as he wouldn't naturally to give a degree of attention to the sponsors content that he wouldn't naturally inspiring us to give an unnatural degree of regard to the sponsor by implying that he does by plastering it on the top of his website.

He expresses that blocking this attempt at manipulation is "unjust". Hi Troy as soon as your content leaves your website and runs on my computer there is no moral dimension to how I choose to display or not display elements.

In the larger context he believes that the larger struggle is to find a way to fund creators through acceptable manipulation that merely tries to hack your brain but doesn't hack your computer or take up your whole screen.

Maybe when there are a billion people out there blogging and the infrastructure to reach hundreds of thousands costs $20 per month nobody is going to pay you to blog.

Most of the intellectual property out there isn't scarce and you are going to have to convince at least some of your readers that they ought to take the affirmative step of paying you to create because they value your work. If you can't you'll have to pay the $20 a month yourself and create in your spare time.

Acceptable manipulation isn't an avenue I'm interested in supporting.

Incidentally the pi-hole is an interesting but pretty bad solution. It is just technical enough to discourage 90% of people from ever trying it, worthless outside your home network, and requires even those interested to actually pull out their credit card and wait for shipping. This is enough to convince another 99% not to do it. If the website doesn't work with this dns based blocking OR you want to show ads to support that site this is in theory possible but only if you log in to another machine and edit its list over ssh?

Whereas ublock origin can be installed by anyone in seconds for free, works everywhere, and can be selectively disabled on a particular site in 2 clicks. This is why almost nobody uses a home dns server but adblock extensions are becoming prevalent.

Troy also tries to throw shade at extensions by suggesting that any particular extension could be bought by malware authors. This is a legit threat model we should all think more about but it applies to all software including the developers of pi-hole.

"The last temptation is the greatest treason. To do the right deed for the wrong reason." -- T S Eliot

Troy doesn't want us to avoid extensions so we don't get compromised he wants us not to run adblock extensions because they block his source of revenue.
"A company complying with the laws of the country it does business in seems fairly uncontroversial to me, even if you may not agree with those laws."

See, that's where you and I differ; you're just referring to them as "that country's laws", and not considering what those laws actually are. I, on the other hand, prefer to take into account the context of the situation, which includes considering what those laws are.
I don’t think there were laws preventing it. Just skiddish banks.
Let's see - the Simulator is running, at the latest, iOS 6. As such it was probably taken before iOS 7 GM (September 18, 2013). Based on the scroll tracks on Xcode, it also looks like it was running Snow Leopard; Lion was released in Mid-2011, so maybe even earlier.

Between iOS and macOS, and given the acquisition was in 2012, I'd imagine these photos were taken around then.
That would be great if I could then open that file using a browser which would then load up those URLs.
I don't like the way of life there. Schlepping your groceries home in a tote bag is one example.

The same thing I like about the city, is the same thing I hate about the city, if that makes sense. Every time you step out the door, it's like an all day adventure. I'm not a very fit person, I don't like working out. So by the end of the day seeing the sights you are EXHAUSTED. Obviously if I lived there, you would not be in tourist mode seeing things daily and traveling to all the boroughs, but being active is very much a way of life there. I don't recall seeing too many fat New Yorkers. Perhaps because they are walking everywhere.

I want to have my cake and eat it too. Here I have the choice of getting in a car, the feeling of alot of space around me, but wish some areas were served better by public transport for those times that I may need it.

Gates has an history of funding solutions to problems that don't need solutions and being pretty bad about predicting the future. He invested a lot in "solving" malaria, a problem which is already solved by the virtue of building normal modern infrastructure. Same goes for "climate change", another non problem that doesn't require any solution. But maybe some of those companies will solve other problems of making certain things cost effective with no relation to climate change.
>My home unifi controller doesn't even 'run' 99.9% of the time, it's not necessary to have the controller online once the APs are provisioned.

That's also a good point, the reliability is solid and things won't fall apart even without a controller. That said the controller is necessary for certain nice extras like stats, guest portal, etc. Granted the average HN crowd may have other appliances or systems to manage that, and plenty of people do use a controller locally installed on a notebook purely to adopt and setup APs and then never worry about it again, but given how cheap the minimal VM needed would be or Ubiquiti's local "cloudkey" (worst name ever, has nothing to do with the cloud, it's just a stick computer dedicated for this), I think it's worth considering having a controller running if someone was going that way anyway. Might as well have the management console up all the time. My only point was that running it is highly, highly flexible.

Taken to the extreme, this question becomes "Do you want Snow Crash or 1984?"

$110, and same management interface as the AP's and switches. As you can tell, im prioritizing all-in-one management very heavily. One, managed, cloud, location for all my devices (minus sdwan, hosted by that vendor.) But the USG can do Auto IPSEC, so if you have 5 of them, you can tell all 5 to automatically keep connections to each other open. I havent fully tested a complex mesh of USG's yet, but id like to. It's getting close to even sdwan being expensive, compared to what these things can do.

One of the things I like the least about the Unifi management interface, is having to edit each site separately. If i want to make a router or ap/ssid change, I have to open each site.

Do you keep your car doors unlocked when you park in safe neighborhoods? Do you give nice strangers a spare key to your house? Do you sleep in an expensive hotel with the door propped open? Do you keep your password on a sticky note at your desk inside your secure office?

Of course not. So why would I disable my security software just because a site I visit hasn't been hacked yet? That's just basic security hygiene.
Disable auto translation of reviews in Google maps is also another anti-feature that for no reason requires sign in.

I just watched this entirely for the first time. It's incredible that someone would deconstruct a video game so completely just to avoid pressing the A button. Makes me wonder how many other things in the world are possible with the right information and determination.
With srsLTE you just need to run the srsenb and srsepc processes with their example configuration files while having a compatible SDR connected. If you want to attach your own phone you need to have the right credentials of course but an srsUE (also with the example config) would happily connect.
It would be if I supported it, but I am extremely against it (& yes, I did ack that US has been inconsistent/failed and was referring to supporting some anti-rights regimes).

The extensive use of Chinese products by the US will likely turn out to be a great geostrategic blunder of historic magnitude.

While the US companies and govt thinks they're exploiting cheap Chinese labor, China is strategically exploiting our myopic weakness for short-term profits to steal IP and gain global economic & military power.
Human consciousness tries to form a coherent model that integrates current sensory perception with knowledge. During an approach at night, scarce sensory input is interpolated to form a full model by the brain. The report uses the term "expectation bias" for this phenomenon. This drive for coherence runs below consciousness and we only notice when the coherence falls apart: When our sensory input cannot be reconciled anymore with the current model. We blink, shift our head, and our model rebuilds anew.

What happened here is that the pilots were locked into a wrong model: In an environment with very little light there is no visual source to compare taxiway lighting against. If we know from experience that a light is white, our brain will use this to calibrate. Without this ever becoming a conscious thought. Color correction happens automatically for us and we don't feel it. This process can easily lead to nominally weird things like blue lights being percieved as white.

Fatigue and stress would contribute to ward off looming decoherence such as "why are the lights on 28L redder than on 28R?" When under pressure, we go with the strongest signal. And that signal may very well come from our knowledge, not our perception.
