Thanks for your insights, really good point!

My hunch is the discounts are mostly related to the early, not-that-great revisions of Watch, and that future discounts will be less. That said, with each yearly iteration there is a supply of super old Watches that may wind up in the bargain bin.

Series 0-2 really seemed early adopter products in the mold of other 1st gen Apple products (MacBook Air, iPad, etc) and S3 is good but not great.

Series 4 definitely seems like a breakout product where capabilities hit some critical use cases - Cellular, GPS, ECG, size reduction (42mm->40mm for same screen size). The platform is definitely hitting its stride.

I wonder if/when Apple offers not only last year's model but 2 years ago model to hit a lower price point, as they do with iPhones. That's been part of Apple's strategy to avoid low-end disruption, by segmenting the market such that cheap products cannot moving up-market because of Apple's middle tier on-ramps (like iPhone SE and 6S or non-Pro iPad).
Ask HN: Legal and financial advice for my startup?
I am going to launch a mobile application that sells content provided by a group of editors.

1. How much commission is fair to take from each purchase? Is 60% too much? Editors write the content and take photos with their mobile phones, but I do all the development, hosting and marketing.

2. I don't have a web site to allow editors to sign up and agree to terms and fees at the moment. How do I make the agreement between us legal? Is using email or Google Forms ok from a legal standpoint?

3. What is the best method to pay the editors? And who pays the transaction fees in such situations?

4. How do I handle tax? My company is incorporated in EU.

Yeah but of course hypotheses don't arise ex nihilo but from a catalog of focused perceptions catalyzing conceptions which may suggest hypotheses encompassing novel ordering functions, innovations, ameliorations (or whatnot) depending on the field of study. If an individual considers a hypothesis of sufficient potential pragmatic value to research and document then, objectively, if negative results manifest these too need be reported as negative data germane to other researchers in the field. Problem is current academic culture is predisposed to reward only success. If your beautiful theory is murdered by an ugly fact (Huxley) then you don't get your doctorate or your departmental status diminishes since only positive results are reinforced. From this arises the temptation to be disingenuous or outright prevaricate, if you can get away with it. Does seem a cultural change is in order. Registering hypotheses which guarantees publication regardless of results may be useful.
In the beginning... the web was never envisioned to be what it is today. The notion that anybody would want to do layout like publishing software didn't cross anyone's mind. Originally the web didn't even have images! It was just text and links. It was just a way to pass text documents around easily. Of course, then the designers came along and said "I want it to look like this" and webmasters (as we were called back then) had to figure out some way to do it. The only realistic way to more or less do it was to use tables (which, of course, was not their intent, but when all you have is a hammer...)

I never said they were streaming audio. They can, however, pick up more audio than is required, and listen for things other than the commands being spoken. Just because someone says "OK Google, whats the weather?" doesn't mean there isn't a conversation going on in the background that they can pick up on.

Google purchasing MasterCard purchase transactions so they can link to their profile of users is a great example of them having zero respect of your privacy.
This is not what I mean. Flex and Grid are simply defining layout in terms properties on an individual element, and what it expects its children to do. Still no way to represent relationships between elements (except the implied relationship between siblings, only indirectly accessible by setting properties on their parent, or setting properties on a child that affect the implicit relationship between it and its parent and or siblings, such as, eg, "margin")

These things at least make certain things that were simply impossible to do before now possible, but they're doing it in a bolted on, unnatural, overcomplicated way.

And still there are things that are only possible by rearranging the HTML to accomodate the implied relationships these layout systems expect.
Right local pressure, not worldwide.

I was under the impression there was some pressure and not just lack of demand, but if that's not the case then a possibility is Taleb's use of the kosher lemonade example.

This post said it was removed by 'Strong demand' so you can see where I came to my understanding. Whereas it did not say removed by lack of demand, as what I think you implied.

See it is easier to remove the product, than it is to keep the surfaces clear of the offending product. Do you see how it would be wise to remove it? The point still stands.
I do. I wrote that I am not judging bonsai lovers but when I thought about it it gave me a bad vibe so I didn't pursue it.
I think what you're looking for is ISPC.[0][1] It distinguishes between 'uniform' (scalar) vs 'varying' (vector) variables[2] and applies SIMD instructions pretty much transparently. It defaults to varying, whereas I think for a general-purpose C-like compiler you'd want scalar by default and explicitly declare eg:

vector float add2(float base,vector float offs)
{
return base + 2*offs;
}
double sum(double* ar,size_t ln)
{
vector double x = (vector)0.0;
while(ln >= sizeof vector) /* == # of simd lanes */
{
x += *ar; /* maybe this needs some kind of cast? */
ln -= sizeof vector; /* == 1 on arches with no simd support */
}
/* this part's definitely not done properly */
double buf[sizeof vector]; *buf = x;
double ret = 0.0; /* slurp up the last few */
for(size_t i=0; i<ln ;i++) ret += buf[i] + ar[i];
return ret;
}

You are right that Apple is complicit in Chinese domestic surveillance. I am not claiming otherwise.

However, a hypocrite's stated beliefs directly contradicts their autonomous actions, often with intent to deceive. China's state coercion voids any claims of hypocrisy.

Furthermore, from a privacy perspective I'd argue it is more ethical for Apple to participate than withdraw. Apple does try to provide as much privacy as possible within Chinese law, following the letter of the law and no more. Withdrawing forces people to use their competitors, which happily go beyond the law to appease state authorities.
Venice, certainly, had significant ties to Constantinople, most notably looting the hell out of it in the 4th Crusade in the 1200s.
IMO, you haven't lived in Texas until you have gone into your office (or other room in your house) and found a large black tarantula in the corner of the window. Try sucking that up into even a powerful brand-new Dyson vacuum cleaner and watch the legs move around like crazy because all you did was piss it off.

But frankly, the scorpions bother me a lot more. Especially when they like to hide in your laundry, and drop down onto the floor at night from your attic. You can hear them when they hit the floor.

These days, I sit back one row from a guy we call "Spider Man", because his screen saver is nothing but giant pictures of spiders, 24x7. That will give you arachnophobia faster than anything I know of.

Growing up in Oklahoma, I met plenty of Black Widow and Brown Recluse spiders. My biology teacher collected them. He was extremely annoyed with me one day when I was cleaning some stuff up in the back of the room and the biggest brown recluse I've ever seen decided to take a quick trip up my arm. I managed to catch the thing and put it in a glass container filled with a clear liquid, and he looked at me like I was an idiot and told me "You know that water won't kill those things, right?" To which I replied "Yes, that's why the container is filled with alcohol." He really wanted that thing for his collection, and was quite miffed that I had actually managed to kill the sucker, before he could get his hands on it.

The bite from a brown recluse or a black widow may be worse than a black tarantula that is bigger than your hand, but in my experience, the effect on your bowels is much larger with the tarantula.
Not my experience - people do talk in open offices because fundamentally there is a point where email, etc just doesn't work.

Open offices shift the cost of f2f communication vs. email/chat. Different people have different thresholds, but I suspect that there are few people for which open office doesn't move the talk vs. text bar.

We shouldn't limit ourselves to open office or cubes. Both suck and are demeaning and disrespectful in their own way. We should demand real offices (with windows).

Yeah, wasps are much worse for me than spiders.

But scorpions are even worse than wasps. They don't have the sound of their wings beating or the actual capability of flight, but they are much more alien looking -- and acting.
Gutenberg allows to write structured documents just like you should do with a word processor.

I can imagine many people having trouble to adapt because they are not familiar with using styles and templates.

I was not familiar with Gutenberg and was offered to activate it a few months ago. I did so and manage to make it work for me.

I consider that writing structured documents is part of personal advancement in IT and should be viewed as such.

CSS was originally designed with the idea that you would have one css file for your whole site, and it would be maybe 300 lines max.

We've obviously gone well off the rails. Selector specificity was supposed to be the scoping mechanism. And it works great in the original envisaged usescase: a single person making a single website. it just doesn't scale to large teams, and ancient software projects, with complicated layouts.

But what does "measuring more directly anyway" mean if you're trying to measure something that may or may not exist?

For instance, in searches for new phenomena in high-energy physics, one usually puts an upper limit on deviations from the expectation of "known physics" (i.e., standard model). That essentially translates to statements like "if this particle exists, its mass should be higher than X TeV, or else we would have seen it already in our data". Of course, in reality, the particle probably does not exist, so you cannot really measure its mass!
As a Texan as well, I've been lucky to have never have been bitten by a tarantula. I've never heard what you are saying about bowels before regarding being bitten. What I have heard is that the bite itself hurts a lot more vs a black widow or brown recluse but the venom is pretty weak comparatively.

It is a great language to learn. I speak a bit of Khaleej Arabic, and maybe twenty years ago, could read the characters (I'd struggle a bit now) so could read anything that was transliterated.

But it's logical and very easy. Well worth learning even just the fundamentals. There are a few sounds that us English speakers don't necessarily use natively, but on the whole, it's a lot easier to learn (I find) than say a tonal language.
At least in my field (high energy physics in the LHC), null findings are routinely published. Everybody who is searching for physics beyond the standard model publishes their null findings left and right.
DMCA Mystery: Did Epic Games Send a Takedown to Itself?
There's a much more simple reason. A null result can often just indicate a bad hypothesis, and there are lots of bad hypotheses.

On the other hand I think something that does support your point is that there are also a lot of bad hypotheses being published, increasingly even in reputable journals, after what is clearly extensive p-hacking. 'So, yeah we took these 29 variables measured in arbitrary, yet extremely specific, fashion, and lo and behold - our hypothesis is affirmed!' It's hard to see how these papers get published outside of the 'spiciness'.
People don't like change. If you think you have a good idea, and you want to incorporate it into a product, you'll often find push back. Especially in the case that it has widespread affects. If you nail it you will hear all sorts of praise, if you fail - ridicule and insults.

They are trying to push forward with what they think is a good idea, and best for the products future. Doesn't mean they're right, however there is the argument that the customer doesn't know their experience could be improved.

Carl Jung termed the phenomenon synchronicity [1], "which holds that events are 'meaningful coincidences' if they occur with no causal relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related." Google the philosophy of information, phenomenology, and "the world is made of meaning." Also related is the phenomenon of multiple discovery / simultaneous invention [2]. Ironically, this is in-part what the Curry–Howard correspondence is about, with the Church–Turing thesis being a prime example [3].

>>America's education is a paradox.

That is really not that hard to explain. Once you solve hunger, clothing, mobility and housing. You basically take away the most important of human instincts which drive a person to work insanely hard for success.

At that point a person has to call upon his internal human enterprise to succeed. That's hard.

America is just a victim of its own success. This is also called decadence.

While I agree spiritually, I find that it is more effective to follow the “rules” of the universe on these things.

Specific example: law of gravity. If you don’t understand it, you still are impacted by it. So you can either learn it and use it (to make airplanes) or you can just try to jump into the sky and be upset why you can’t fly.

How this applies here: Why is there a lack of political will to “do” space? Well it comes down to kitchen table politics and budgeting. If push comes to shove, “we” as a country think that NASA is something “nice to have” and will budget it at the level of say a “nicer car” then is absolutely necessary to get from a to b safely. But if it will come in the way of safety/food on the table/etc, it will be the first to be cut.

Until there is a true “need”, space exploration will always be a “nice to have” rather than a core necessity.

The OP was in part discussing education in the US and claiming that the education is inferior to the education in several other countries. Some of the evidence is some test scores on some tests given internationally.

Okay: We're considering education quality and using test scores as evidence.

Well, it is Social Science 101 (my wife's Ph.D. was in mathematical sociology, and my brother's Ph.D. was in political science) to control on other likely explanatory variables.

So, an obvious candidate alternate explanatory variable is culture of the country of the recent ancestors of the students.

So, to compare education in the US with that in, e.g., Japan, we should see how (A) US students of recent Japanese descent compare with (B) Japanese students in Japan. So, now are holding culture reasonably constant and, thus, doing better comparing the schools and whatever else we have not controlled on.

Not to control on culture would be grade F in Social Science 101 and give total garbage results.

I.e., no fair blaming the education in the US when the real cause of the differences is culture and not the education.
Not sure what you mean by "very important". But the Arab golden age is a myth. There was very little that was contributed by the Arabs at any time. There is abundant evidence that most "Arab" knowledge was appropriated from Vedic India. Yes, I am talking about Algebra, Arithmetic, Alchemy etc. Not only that, the Arab hordes destroyed most of what they encountered because it was un-Islamic. I would hesitate to call a thing "golden" if that thing actually destroyed what was the center of science, math & logic much before Greeks or anywhere in the world.

What the poster above meant is that if you do a meta-analysis on already published results you could already know if it's a null result or not. If you are inclined to not publish null results, you simply won't "preregister".
