Ads are weeds. They ruin your garden, are painful to touch and sometimes can even hurt you. Some look nice, most look bad. They add lots of extra work. But every now and then, you can use some in a soup as a backup ingredient.

I think what you're describing is GGP's second example:

https://www.google.com/maps/@41.2981376,-73.935245,212m/data...

In which case I agree completely. And, from what I can tell, they're about the same size, so IMO this was a design miss, not a space constraint.

For me, it's all about the surprise factor. In my example, the outer lane almost goes all the way around. So you end up surprised after passing two exits and then being forced to merge to pass the next one. GGP's example is completely symmetrical, so nothing is surprising.
I think Apple can and will justify it. If you think back to Steve's analogy about cars and trucks, there's still (obviously) a very healthy market for trucks.

Despite their ongoing efforts to make the iPad more capable, I think and hope they'll recognize the value in keeping it simple enough for anyone to use, and thus having a separate macOS experience with more tools/flexibility in a laptop/desktop form factor.
I remember this being a research topic while I was in grad school more than 10 years ago. Like face recognition, it is nothing unique and is being researched by plenty of people
AI classification and prediction of social relationships, perhaps.

Something that could read the mass of communication data in my life; social networks, email, texts. Then process it and make predictions and discover patterns over time... even determine when I was happy, sad, or angry and how the people around me felt...

(giving all your personal data to an AI is definitely not suitable for everyone)
I'm experiencing this recently too.
This isn't necessarily true in the enterprise. At our company we buy support for everything we use, whether we need the support or not. It's more like insurance, which also helps to break out of the O(N) scaling that people think goes along with the support business model.
I agree it isn't. The person I was replying to, implied it inherently is.

I find it interesting that companies are willing to spend this much on advertising. If you think about it, the competition for eyeballs is also a race to the bottom. The more advertising is the norm, the more advertising you have to do in order to get the same result.

Of course, if you do not keep up... you loose market.

Why It’s Hard for Black Holes to Get Together (2016)
Looks pretty good. Did anyone already try it?
Sure it was a potentiometer?

Usually, potentiometers utilize a carbon-style track for the wiper; a few used a fine "wound wire" on a form for the wiper instead (they tend to handle higher power).

If it is a potentiometer - it will have 3 connections - one to each side of the main resistance element, and a third to the movable wiper. It might be a rotary style, or it might be a linear sliding style.

If it only has two connections - one to the sliding piece, and one to an end of the coil - then in that configuration it would be considered a rheostat (a potentiometer acts as a variable voltage divider, whereas a rheostat acts as a variable resistor/current limiter). If the coil is made of fairly substantial wire - then it was meant for power-controlling usage (if it is a potentiometer or a rheostat - usually a potentiometer can be used like a rheostat, but the opposite isn't possible with modifying the rheostat).

It is also possible it could be a "tunable coil" - similar to what was used in early crystal radio sets; such a device is not a potentiometer or a rheostat, and shouldn't be used or confused as one.
EMT is entry level, though, and you are basically competing against a workforce where most people have gone past that to become paramedics. Not to say that a paramedic salary is all that lucrative itself, but it's about 10K higher than EMT.

> Like walking to school in the dark is worse than walking home from school in the dark?

There is no place in California where the amount of daylight is so short that kids would walk home in the dark as long as school starts around 8-9, regardless of whether they use PST or PDT during the winter.

The choices are, if school start times stay so that they are before parent work start times, between walking both to and from school in the light, and walking to school in the dark and from school in the light.

If it were a choice between walking to school in the dark or walking home from school in the dark, walking to school in the dark would be worse, because the school day is shorter than the adult work day. The kids going to school overlap with the morning commute traffic. The kids coming home beat the evening commute traffice.
The no non-determinism feature is very good example why TCO/TCE is crucial - each time you call a recursive function the state is changing- another stack is created. Therefore the same function which operates on unknown argument size(list, tree) can have different behavior - stack overflow might happen or not and we don’t know when.
> The only reason TPTB made these elections direct was to incentivize people to vote by party color rather than by person to smuggle in bad actors into government.

No, the reason reformers made these changes was to break up rampant corruption and back-room dealing in State government and the allocation of appointed positions.
The parent comment specified "90th and 3rd" which would give you both axes needed to avoid the mistake you describe- The specification of 3rd street helps you avoid being at the wrong end of 90th.
It depends what you mean by used. I wrote a system which learns what things are discussed:

All of this is patently silly.

The sun will rise and set at exactly the same times it always has. All you are doing is changing your clock and deciding when to do things based on what the clock says. Farmers don't care- they get up and work based on when it's sunny, not based on what the clock on the wall says.

If you want children to be in school during daylight hours, modify the school schedules. If you want to get that extra round of golf in, go to work early and then leave work early. But don't drag the rest of society along with you so that you can pretend you're not doing anything differently!

Ten years after DST dies, everyone will remember how silly it all was and how they were always opposed to the madness.
It was actually pushed by big-pharma to keep the more lucrative opioid based patented medicines going versus the CBT, THC based equivalents. Look at the new products introduced by Canadian pharma for more details.

While what you're saying is technically correct, I think you vastly overestimate the resources available and likely to be committed by law enforcement, and the competence of the people making/selling these phones.
Wait, are you really looking at the second derivative of the revenue? Q2 revenue (September 2018) was up 14% against September 2017.

Red Hat would probably have reached a local maximum sooner or later, so it's probably a mix of the two, but I don't think it's correct to say that growth was negative.
It's not a matter of resources. Solomonoff induction is not computable, since it needs to calculate the Kolmogorov complexity of the data.

If that is what is required for induction, it is surprising that humans are able to do so well at identifying concise descriptions of the data we observe. This seems inexplicable with a computational view of human cognition.
What about selling to consumers, not to businesses? Couldn't you do gamedev this way?

I think the vast noise of people sprain their ankles, the people who did get a pebble in their shoe and the old people who decided to not put on their knee brace for that quick errand and similar that would result in way too many false positives to mark them all persons of interest.
I saw a good argument that adjusting the time to keep daylight as long as possible during waking hours is an amazingly healthy thing.

Any decrease in daylight time dramatically increases rates of depression.
When I was studying at the University of Stuttgart, I once saw a demonstration where they were playing music over a regular radio by running a program on one of the old fridge size computers (can't remember which). The radio waves were just a side effect of it's vacuum tubes. It was a pretty neat trick, imho^^
Er, every restaurant I've been to in years has greeted my newly seated table with "Still, sparkling, or tap water?" (This is in the northeastern USA.)
Moving the button around the screen is the kind of thing that will drive you to a local optimum and dump you there, with no sense of purpose or direction to a better place.

Direct user feedback shakes you out of that dead-end, and towards a newer, much better dead-end on the path to success. Maybe the button is solving the wrong problem, but users latch onto it as the first thing that comes to mind. You can't find that out unless you interrogate your customers, and most engineers wouldn't do it unless their back is against the wall. Happened to me last week - spent an hour on the phone+hangouts with a customer, and it turned out they needed something other than what they asked (and we didn't have). Happens all the time.

[BIG-CO] employees are just talking to each other, and then A/B testing their way to success along the nearest promotion-worthy metric. The courage, or the necessity, to overcome the aversion of the users is a competitive advantage for a small company.

I agree that the "more topics" thing takes up too much vertical space after just one click to see deeper history.

To be honest if you own the server, you can push an update to the app to start sending data in clear and the user would be no wiser.
There is an interesting map[1] that shows how much the time is off in each location in the world vs solar time.

Japan is indeed ahead of solar time, as opposed to many other places on their longitude. (Though perhaps not by two hours).

Interestingly, many more places are behind their solar time then places that are ahead of it.

Anyone who's heavily near-sighted knows this technique. In college, my dorm bathroom was quite a distance from my room. At night, I would remove my contact lenses, and upon returning I would always identify certain people by their style of walking, or their posture.

Even given infinite resources Solomonoff induction cannot be computed, because we computationally cannot eliminate all non halting programs.

Why believe human intelligence is limited by physics?
They're not making a value statement, it's a capabilities statement.
William Willett, who was a promoter of DST in Britain, proposed advancing the clock by twenty minutes on four Sundays in April and taking it back twenty minutes on four Sundays in September (http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/willett.html), sort of a compromise between continuous adjustment and the one-shot that we have now.
Got any data on the SSD? I believe that consumer NVMe SSDs are all 2-3,000MB/s or more these days (for sequential reads which I believe is the "standard" benchmark people use for speed (ignoring iops))?

My brother-in-law is a journeyman electrician in Seattle and the going rate is around 40-45/hour. Not a bad wage at all. But it does require about four years to get to that point.
You used to be able to do this by showing certain images on a CRT. It was cool trick back in the day.
idk about you, but I get to pick my hours, as long as they add up to forty. even with this freedom (and being a night owl), I find myself wanting to get to work by 9:00 anyway. any later and I just get home too late in the evening. if anything, I sometimes try to get to work half an hour to an hour early. I can't imagine there are too many parents who want to shift their schedule to get home even later.
Right, however the main difference is that the premium part is not software. There is no such thing as open core in Red Hat's offerings.
I'm almost 40 and never quite managed to get into amateur radio, but my kids are getting old enough that they might be interested. Reading articles like this gets me excited to finally give it a try.
I am on the other side of this bet. I believe it is just a matter of time and the Surface Pro / iPad Pro are paving the way for just that.
With all due respect,

> No awareness of encoding
> Single-byte length field
> Scratch that, 254.

is completely wrong. Or rather, hasn't been right for several decades.

A modern Delphi String has unlimited length (well, 32-bit value, a multi-gigabyte string is okay for 1996, I think), carries encoding (see my comment in this same thread), etc.

COW is another argument, but one that seems to have won out over time. Many string implementations use many tricks to achieve something similar, or go with COW directly.
Yeah, Civilization VI is well known to respond well to having additional cores, so I expect the lags I see in late-stage games on large maps to not be as bad as they are on my 1st generation iPad Pro.
But that's not advertisement. Those are ideas and agendas. And I don't see how a company can use those to make more money, seems like a stretch.
You're right, it is WebOS.

Honestly, it's pretty good, with the caveat that outside of the major streaming providers, the apps aren't very interesting. But it's not like we're talking a infotainment system from a car manufacturer, those things are 100% shit every time.

the same cigar shaped UFO has been seen since the 60s

I'm not saying this is a 100% UFO but there isn't a very good track record of NOT silencing people who worked and several individual witnesses that describe the same thing.

If the blue pill is comfortable (As it is for most people who believe the government can do no wrong, they won't lie, on the contrary we see them censoring and doing as well as they please) then fine.

Some of us have taken the red pill, and see what's really going on.
Microscopes are the new microscopes. They tell you a lot more about phenotypes. And genotypes- some recent papers can identify specific cancer mutations simply from images of tumors. Also, recent work has shown that you can do sequencing with a microscope.
They don't work as advertised - they're terrible.

Besides Microsoft, Google has come the closest, but they're not pushing it as convergence.

I think it is the future, but it's going to be a difficult one that requires an excellent launch - at least 3 years off before the next major inroads.
It is slightly misleading. One cannot test hooks alone - a component, which uses a hook, must be created to act on them to thest if the component behaves properly with the hook. There is no way to make unit test for a hook.
I never said all others first of all, I just know that's one example I have a lot of positive firsthand experience with. Generally as well it's not like curriculum approaches have any evidence either way, so while there may not be evidence, I would ask what curriculum does have evidence that it's better than another. I've done some digging explicitly in that area and there's really no good evidence for anything from language choice, object oriented vs functional, everything. Not surprisingly either, it's quite the hard problem to solve and get rid of bias towards one approach in a study to start with.

I'd say this though - a "cult" following I would note as a likely symptom of a good curriculum, one that does such a good job that it inspires those that go through it to advocate for it strongly. Is that not itself evidence of some indirect sort? I'd say it's better than most out there.

In terms of its advantages, I think a reasonable person can decide if both the advantage is actually an advantage and at least gauge how a curriculum fares on executing on the advantage. For example, the ramping up of difficulty from the teaching languages. Instead of saying "theres little evidence", I would go through the curriculum and its advantages (and disadvantages) like that.
If they blanket an area with cameras, as China does, they can use multiple vantage points to get more accurate measurements and, when a positive ID is made, they can persistently track that person crossing from one field of view to another.

I think the main advantage of gait analysis (or limb proportion measurement) is that it will encourage a more efficient, decentralized computation that first distills the observed data into a fingerprint that can be more easily transmitted over a wire to a massive database for matching, rather than the alternatives of either replicating that database or transmitting raw, high-bandwidth data.

Besides limb measurements, they could also use last known location, residence, and vehicle ownership information to increase the certainty of loose matches.
Both HLS and DASH support redundant streams (by adding a redundant variant URL in the HLS playlist and multiple BaseURLs in the DASH manifest). It's indeed the simplest way to have the easiest way to have a fallback client-side. If you use it, you should make sure that the player supports it, and that the retry mechanisms are rightly configured (like for instance all the MaxRetry config params in hls.js: https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/blob/master/docs/API.md#... )
IANAL, but, I think they could also choose MST as a replacement without federal action (from some other comments I've read on the matter)

I was really into the idea of card counting when I was in high school (over 10 years ago) and remember coming across multiple sources that claimed casinos did this as part of their arsenal to detect people who've been blackballed.

Spotify's ads work. When I first started to use their service, ~2011, they had maybe 5 ads localized for UK (where I was working at the time). That meant every 3 songs I would get the same ad. The ad sometimes would change the next day. After couple of days of this seriously fucking up my brain, I decided to pay them money just to shut them up.

I don't understand how people cope with free Spotify either, but maybe with large enough collection of ads, it just isn't that annoying.
You might be right, but I'd like to unpack that a little. Why would that be the case?

Obviously, the laptop form factor is missing, but it would be...interesting if the iPad, iPhone, and MacBook were all pretty much the same compute device with different form factors and different battery sizes and possibly different storage sizes. Honestly, the form factor and user experience are going to be the biggest user-visible differences, and those are also the things Apple seems to care the most about (even if they don't consistently get it right!)

Also, why would you want a single physical device anyway? Because hardware is expensive? Sure, maybe. Because you want to keep all your data in one place? That's the purpose of iCloud. Because you don't trust the cloud and want to keep all of your data physically on the same device and still access it from multiple form factors? That's a small fringe of the market that probably wouldn't buy Apple products anyway.
Does Intel or ARM make profits from Linux? They need to have it run will on their current hardware, and they can show future features in advance, but they don't directly make a profit from selling Linux.

IIRC, the teacher's union was one of the primary reasons that the recent bill that would have shifted school start times later was defeated.
The annoying thing about this proposition is that it proposes allowing the legislature to attempt to move to permanent PDT… which requires changing our timezone, something which requires an action from federal congress. If we had simply chosen to go to permanent PST, we could stay in the summer time zone and make the change without involving congress since it doesn't require changing timezone.

Personally, I'd much prefer PST over PDT, which gives us sunlight later into the day.
iPad, especially with the limitations artificially imposed by iOS is a content consumption device first. You can trick it into other tasks, but it's not a primary computer.

If I was apple I wouldn't go all in on arm macs. I'd build arm thin and light laptops to get incredible battery life and leave the pro line as x86 for at least the next 3+ years. Even if I did decide to stop building new x86 devices I'd support macOS on x86 for at least 5 additional years.
Other thread from 26 days ago with the author: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18200749
As mentioned in the previous reply above, mountain standard time (MST) is the same offset from UTC as pacific daylight time (PDT) and one hour ahead of pacific standard time (PST). Sticking with PDT would keep the clocks 1 hour ahead of solar time year round, so solar noon in the astronomical center of the timezone is at 1pm instead.

I'd rather have local standard time year round so noon means solar noon +/- 30 minutes or so across the whole timezone. I don't care about having my clock display digits consistent with someone far away. We cannot expect people to decouple from solar time no matter what games we play with clock display values. So, coordinating over distance will always involve thinking about time offsets as well as local cultures and conditions.
