That’s not on the table. You can clear LEO in minutes where satilites need clear orbits over years to be useful.

Further, atmospheric drag keeps some orbits clear even in the worst case. The problem is you then need to constantly burn some fuel to maintain orbit.

Waze is usually my go-to in the UK. Works very well in cities, at least.

I did have a hilarious issue for a while where it didn't know about either of the Severn River crossings into Wales (and yeah I didn't have it set to avoid toll roads). Not only did it not know about the "new" bridge, which is something like 20 years old, it didn't even know about the "old" bridge :D

The sodding thing used to try to take me via Gloucester (+2 hours to the trip) and didn't have any idea what was going on when I was on the bridge it didn't believe in.

Thankfully this is now fixed!

Where did you get that nonsense? I use it all the time in the UK and there are always tonnes of other users on the map. It ALWAYS knows about broken down vehicles, etc that users report. So I'd say its pretty well used outside of the US.
The thing is that for most business web apps rendering on the server side and sprinkling in some JQuery validation is good enough, and a pretty solid approach. Frameworks like Ruby on Rails or ASP.NET MVC provide a lot of infrastructure to do this, and it is easy to find people skilled in maintaining this.

My last job was like this, my current job is more of a SPA but mostly because it needs to be, because of what it is. I always thing "horses for courses" when people make opinionated statements about what tech you should use.
The downvotes on the original post are probably because the comment is being seen as off topic. Sometimes comments like that are accepted, sometimes not, I can't say I've noticed much of a patter there other than they are far less welcome on HN than, for example, Reddit.

I usually play safe and reserve side-topic comments to a post-script after something more immediately relevant (and if I don't have something to say on the thread topic, keep them to myself).

The downvotes on this one are going to be because of complaining about downvotes!

That's just it. It used to, but it doesn't. At this point global warming is self-reinforcing. So while it's correct what you say, the implied corollary is not true.

The implied corollary is of course that if we slow down emissions global warming will stop. And it won't. It will slow down, but not stop. Not even if we get net emissions to zero.

This is exactly what is happening in Saskatchewan at the moment. A few smaller transport companies have started operating routes using passenger vans. They currently serve a good chunk (not nearly as much as STC, but they’re still a new player). Greyhound wasn’t the loss here, STC was as it served many communities that would have been isolated if you cannot drive. I’m proud to see a service like the Rider Express try to fill the gap
I think cause of this article problem is not that textures require some "untonemapping", but that they are typically stored with sRGB gamma, and thus should be converted to linear for lighting, and converted back to sRGB gamma in final pass. (either by explicitly using 2.2 gamma in shaders, or graphics API conversion, eg. in GL using GL_SRGB8_ALPHA8 format and sRGB framebuffer with enabled GL_FRAMEBUFFER_SRGB)

As a 'builder' I completely agree with that. I don't want to start an 'Uber for dogs' business, but I do want to make a woof recognition system.

Something they can fix, but this iteration's going to be not very convenient because of that.
Privacy is the right to chose who knows what about you, or in the modern world, who has your data and what they use it for.

When large companies say they support user privacy, they're referring to preventing data breaches not preventing themselves and the third parties/governments they share your data with from using your data in a way you probably wouldn't consent to. As far as I'm concerned, that's not privacy.
Why?

Stock price plummeted after the results, and I doubt market analysts were influenced by that specific article.

The market clearly agrees on the assessment that the sales are "stagnant", negative connotation included. Which is not surpising since the stocks are priced taking into account potential growth, rather than present results.

"Constant" or "steady" I would expect from Apple PR wording...

So that's the navigational use case for 'meet person'

About me: I'm an engineering manager started as an engineer here at Uber, in Amsterdam. My first project was rewriting the Uber app (https://eng.uber.com/new-rider-app/) and the last interesting piece of code I committed was open sourcing the architecture behind it (https://github.com/uber/RIBs). I recently shared some things that I’ve learned about distributed systems, while building the payments systems at Uber, which was quite popular here, on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16852295)
Not exactly the idea I had in mind when I hear of the sales numbers.

The global market size for mobile phones is still growing. If Apple's sales aren't growing at least in line with the size of the market then their market share is shrinking. Selling a lot in a stable market is great. Selling a lot in a growing market is ... less great.
Yeah, but that's the point of the market saturation. Apple (or Google for ads) achieved a phenomenal growth despite the recession because they were taking over a market. But now that the market is saturated, there won't be a growth in volume to offset difficult economic conditions.
>approaching optimal architectures that do the job but have no superfluous, pre-conceived notions of the (modeled) world

Usually, modelling efficiency is related to the amount of priors. The more (correct) priors, the faster a model learns, and from less data.

A prior-poor model just spends data learning those correct priors in the first place.

There are countless examples I could give to support intuition of this. There isn't, AFAIK, any theoretical work yet.

That the priors are correctly aligned with reality is vital. A model with fixed bad priors cannot unlearn them. If the priors are bad but not fixed, you're just spending time and data to correct those priors.
They're going for repeat purchasers with those ads, someone explained it here on HN a while ago. It also makes them look silly / harmless which is a double win.

Looks to me that Amazon outsmarted you by so much, it overflowed and now you think you're outsmarting them :)

Or, maybe you can charge both less because now you can replace the flees-disasters-rate conservative guess with less conservative data. And make a more competitive product. And reduce costs to end consumers. Not everything has to be sinister when someone breaks out that different groups of people behave differently.

Disabling uBlock Origin and noScript for the site doesn't change this situation.
I'm not sure how useful one of those would really be, to be honest. There's not really much benefit in terms of openness - even though the architecture is open, these actual implementations are entirely proprietary with license agreements that forbid reverse-engineering. Plus it's just not as widely supported as ARM on the software side right now.
Which proves you never wrote a single line of Metal.

It literally boggles my mind why Apple still think using Yelp for POI data is a good idea.

Yelp to all intents and purposes does not exist outside of the continental Americas. London's Yelp data is essentially the work of the odd bored American tourist. As such, it's totally wrong.

I do not see how Apple improves this situation from this article. Google have an amazing advantage here.

First, I don't think you've ever seen any terrorist propaganda. I have. It absolutely calls for violence.

What you fail to realize is that those particular groups are recruiting into organizations that explicitly require violence against anyone who disagrees with them. I know it's popular to pretend that isn't true, it's just an "internal struggle" or whatever, but that's simply not the case. When they say "we must fight the infidels", they literally mean, we're going to take up arms and go and murder all the infidels, specifically including as many noncombatants as we can find.

In general, people speaking in America aren't calling for that. I don't agree with what you refer to that they're advocating, and I think the right way to combat it is to argue why they're wrong, but they're not advocating murder of innocents. Those who do are falling afoul of the restrictions that have been allowed on speech and should be dealt with accordingly - making threats isn't legal.

I'm well aware of where the comment came from. Again, restricting speech you disagree with is a slippery slope, and that's why we don't do it -- or didn't, until it became fashionable to shut down all forms of conservative discussion on media that has become left wing propaganda arms.
>My parents, for example, would not understand the difference.

Nor should they be expected to, but the BBC should know the difference. Facebooks stock price could be hurt due to this reporting, even though it shouldn't. This could be seen as an attempt at manipulating the stock price of a public trade company. Of cause it's just incompetence, but still.
Why Google docs forces you to use keyboard for copy/paste – ctrl+c and ctrl+v
I really like this idea, and have long thought of doing something similar, the reason being that most/all existing services that I've come across so far don't do a good job at it. They can actually be even more depressing than normal news (to me).

One reason reason is that the "positive news" are often reported against something really depressing, don't point to sustainable solutions and so defeats the purpose. In essence I believe "positive news" must either turn a slightly blind eye to the vast number of problems facing humanity (without being essentially just pictures of cats), or mainly bring up such problems if a true solution has been found (not "eating more raisins may reduce cancers in mice").

If this problem could be solved (by heavy manual curation?) I believe a service like this could actually take off.
> it's a complete political non-starter.

Oh, I unfortunately agree. We can't even get everyone to acknowledge global warming or even to stop using CFCs ( https://www.newsweek.com/mystery-source-ozone-depleting-subs... ) so yeah it's highly unrealistic to get people to abandon fossil fuels even if a fleet of alien ships showed up in the sky this afternoon and said "Dammit! Stop it! We will give you enough fusion reactors and have them set up by the end of the week!"
> What if a bug in Chrome (layout rendering, dom, ..) breaks your application? It's a corner case, possibly it will never happen. But this solution makes impossible for you to roll out a patch by just changing Chrome version bundled.

Did already have this 5-6 versions ago. We had been unable to fix it without changing a lot of ui. 2 Chrome releases later it was fixed again.
The other way to do it which does work is to make both the normal maps and the diffuse maps from an underlying 3d model, and then render them out to make them look "pixely". That's how Dead Cells does it, the "source" of the sprites is a 3d model which is then rendered out as pixel art.
