> Don't know about face id, but with finger ID you certainly need to know the pin number for all the cases that finger ID doesn't work.

This is the case with Face ID as well. I use my PIN more with Face ID than I did with Touch ID.

> More than that, it's easier for a security guard to point the phone at your face / push your thumb on the sensor than get you to reveal a passcode

It's fairly easy to discreetly disable, FWIW. Just "squeeze" your phone for two seconds (i.e. press the power button and either volume button) to disable Face ID. It also won't work if you're looking away or have your eyes closed.

Wave was closer to natural (offline) human conversation / collaboration. Slack, god bless it, is closer to a traditional forum with a different UI.

Wave was a leap forward. Slack maybe a baby step.
So who cares?

Inbox was good because it was not Gmail, not because Gmail lacked features from it.
For those interested here's a fascinating discussion between Gabor and Aaron. It's a candid talk between father and son in which they address real feelings of concern, anger, resentment, and disappointment with each other. I remember thinking about how most relationships of that nature go unexamined and unaddressed for an entire lifetime. I still haven't picked up the phone myself.

I suppose they don't realize it.

To be fair, I can only tell when it's computer-related nonsense, but I absolutely cannot tell if (for example) medical dramas such as Grey's Anatomy are at all realistic, barring reasonable artistic licenses to make a scene more dramatic. The surgeons could be doing something as silly as "hacking the same keyboard" and I wouldn't know. The computer-related scenes in medical dramas are dumb enough that I suspect the medical stuff probably also is, but I can't tell.

More optimistically, this could buy us a ~40 year stay of execution that'll be very useful in actually fixing the problems.
You could send and receive email with a gmail user without being a gmail user - in fact it made people jealous to do so and was great advertising.

You couldn't participate in a wave unless you were on wave. (The spec was open, but obviously in the early days there were no other implementers. Also the non-open UI made a big difference).

I really thought they were going to fold wave into gmail, so that everyone on gmail would automatically be able to participate in waves and access them through the same interface as they did their emails. That would have been amazing. It was also just outgrowing its initial crashiness when they killed it.
Google Groups is horrendous. The mailing list interface works, which is fine.

However the web interface and search results are a true PITA. Waiting for the page to load just to jump to a random point in the page takes in the order of 5+ seconds on my system.

I remember the first iteration of groups was almost pure html and insanely fast. Like with most google products, it has been bloated to death.
Definitely a trade off. But I'm willing to accept it. It also means that I never have to play the Purolator/Fedex game where I prove I was home and they didn't ring the bell - because of my camera.

Out of curiosity do you know approximately how much they run? I spent a summer in a large city once where I had a balcony overlooking downtown, and it was very nice/relaxing to have a morning coffee or evening tea out there. I imagine it would be especially nice on a Vegas night with all that neon.
> A basic finding of cognitive psychology is that people have no conscious experience of most of what happens in the human mind. Many functions associated with perception, memory, and information processing are conducted prior to and independently of any conscious direction. What appears spontaneously in consciousness is the result of thinking, not the process of thinking.

Sorry, the procgen algorithm for names has a tendency to repeat freshly generated ones with higher frequency for a while. We caught it in early tests but didn't have the time to correct it properly, so we attempt to hide it by trying to ensure it only reappears in unrelated contexts. In the end this may have just made it more obvious, but what can you do. There are several million higher priority issues on the docket so I wouldn't expect a fix any time soon.

The 'legal' version of a less-legal reality. Soldiers are not rich. For lack of funds, they would often their girlfriends bits of their uniforms. They cannot hand over equipment, but they can get away with "loosing" a bit of uniform here or there. Look at all the WWII photographs of french girls with military berets.
The crests and insignia were the closest thing a soldier has to jewelry. Soldiers were not, are still not, supposed to do this nor are civilians normally allowed to wear military stuff. These replicas are the more palatable version of an older tradition.

Due to capital availability [1], the SV/SF ecosystem is highly optimized to favor spending money over time. That's why you get much-more-expensive WeWork over private office leases, everyone wanting to pay 2x as much for very senior staff, and few companies able to build a good content marketing brand.

Patience is a huge competitive advantage, if you can manage it.

Google killed Google Reader because of Google+, if I remember correctly. To push people towards the new platform, where stories should be shared.

Well... that worked.
Our startup is located in El Paso and it's super hard to find senior devs here. I had to start teaching programming classes at our local maker space to find our first hire. After a few months of teaching I cherry picked the most promising candidate and gave him a job. He's still learning but has quickly become an integral part of our engineering team and I see him as a future leader in the organization. I am very happy with our decision. I don't have to break the bad habits or cater to the inflated ego of a more senior dev.

As his skills are growing we are adjusting the pay accordingly; He already makes double what he started at. Being in El Paso, this model makes sense and works but may make less sense if you live in an area with a bigger base of techies. If we were located in San Francisco or Austin, we may have pushed for a more senior level hire but we plan on staying in El Paso and continuing to train and build up our employees.
Why doesn't it make sense?

If argue making a compatible system made no sense.

They were fighting an existential war with the west, and it was a fight to win. They despised capitalism and sought to exterminate it.

Its a bit (much more than a bit) hypocritical to deride your enemies as immoral and horrible people worth destroying while stealing their tech because you can't invent it.

But then again logic was never a strong suit of these arguments.

The Assyrian language itself is threatened by various factors, so I created an online English to Assyrian dictionary using (React & MongoDB for the app. Scrapy + Java to power the data matching) to help preserve the language.
I owe alot of the development choices behind the web app to the useful posts on hackernews! The frontend code is also available on GitHub. I get feedback from Assyrian parents trying to keep the language alive and from non Assyrians trying to learn, typically to impress their significant other and share a commonality.

Prior to usenet morphing into a primarily binary distribution channel, it was the primary internet discussion forum. There used to be a usenet search company called "DejaNews". It was awesome. Google bought them and repackaged it as Google Groups.

They later added their own group stuff to it, and google group search became this weird mismash between the two. Searching usenet was easier and faster 10 years ago.
Because when people talk about “climate change” they’re mostly referring to the change in the climate due to the increase in carbon emissions due to human activity.
I'd argue it's still way too early to call it a disappointment, and that we'll only know 5-10 years from now.

Google had to invest massively to catch up to AWS purely technically, and it's only now that people are starting to consider it to be close. Then consider that companies will tend to pick a cloud provider and not revisit that decision for 5 or 10 years.

This has to be a very long-term play where the results won't show up for many, many years. Greene's tenure should be judged in terms of market perception (e.g. if we were making the decision now instead of 10 years ago, would Google be viable?) as opposed to a large absolute increase in market share (so check back 10 years from now).
>>For another decade or two, yes.

If the US stays focussed on mid-east for the next 2 decades, and not counter China. Or rather just let China be as they are. China will have the world domination on a platter for the next few centuries.

Oil is the old game. That game probably even ended after the 1990's. The US has been fighting wrong wars for the past 30 years.

China is quietly, and yet steadily emerging as the next super power. Albeit like the UK in the past. No intention to fight any direct wars or make aggressive moves. Instead control the world's oceans, and establish trade empires. Let the current super power bankrupt itself fighting wars.
Is there a single, major US tech company that hasn’t collaborated with the military?

IBM earned $13 billion in operating income over the prior four quarters, making them one of the most profitable companies on earth. They're not even remotely close to being at risk of actually dying.

They're comparable in profit to Oracle, Alibaba and Tencent.

GM and Micron have ridiculously low PE ratios. That also says nothing about whether their businesses are at risk of dying.

Ironically, this could be the time extension humanity needs to wean off itself from fossil fuels before irreversible changes in ocean chemistry start killing ecosystems(such as oxygen producing plankton) and reducing oxygen% in atmosphere.
``Scientists believe that phytoplankton contribute between 50 to 85 percent of the oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere``
Ocean acidification is killing them, reducing our oxygen supply. The deforestation and modern agriculture cuts the rest of oxygen sources.

The minimum oxygen concentration for human breathing is 19.5 percent. At below 17%, your mental abilities become impaired and you'll feel exhausted.

While there is usually some notation that is implicit, and where the meaning depends on the particular field, most papers should explicitly define their notation.

Are you sure it's a problem of notation, and not just that you're not used to reading slowly? Reading academic papers is very different from reading prose, and I find that even though you might struggle understanding it at first read, going through it line by line very slowly does help a lot.

Do you have an example paper you're struggling with?

White people do throw actual vitriol from time to time, and not just in Sherlock Holmes stories too.
In the USA, there are a number of factors which lead to marriage stability. One is education - high school dropouts have a high divorce rate, college graduates have a lower divorce rate. Another is age at marriage - people who marry before the age of 23 tend to have a higher divorce rate than those who marry at or after 23. Income factors in as well - those with a good income tend to have more stable marriages ( https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2013/article/marriage-and-divor... ).

In terms of premarital sexual partners, the given chart shows divorce rates after five years of marriage. It doesn't tell me much - I would think if one were going to divorce, the best time to do so would be within the first few years, before having children. There are many studies of divorce rates after 15 or 20 years, that is what I would be curious to see.
You are assuming that everyone works from evidence towards conclusions - some people start with the conclusions they want then pick the evidence that supports those conclusions.
I love how there are these two parallel threads going in HNville: (1) COLLEGE SUCKS BURN IT DOWN and (2) "I'd like to learn complex things like machine learning and math that take more than reading 5 blog posts to master, how do I do it"?

Sometimes this place just cracks me up.

I honestly think the answer is pretty simple: go to college. It doesn't have to be expensive. Take a community college course in calculus or undergraduate-level probability. Skip the gen eds and don't worry about the degree if you want to learn something narrow like this.

In any case, just find a mentor. On-the-job if you can, otherwise pay for a class.

What you shouldn't do is try to self-study by reading a book. You can perhaps do this but only if you're smarter than average and more motivated than most. Since you probably aren't, just take a class. Night school, maybe a MOOC. Preferably something heavy on analysis or proofs.

But you should do it with others. Math is a very social discipline, it's good to be able to discuss and have partners to work through things when you get stuck. And if you're like me, you WILL get stuck on things. This stuff is hard.

Another thought: this whole "college is great"/"college is terrible" dichotomy seems to occur people people don't think enough about quality. I think bad colleges are terrible and great ones are fantastic. I don't know any way I'd have learned all the complex topics in math, stats, probability, etc., I did without attending a big 10 engineering school (UIUC in my case)
My aunt, who was a forensic doctor, would be driven up the walls by the absurdity of the CSI screenplays. I'm an engineer and they manage to trigger me into laughter.

A bit is suspension of disbelief when some inaccuracy is needed by the story (like the sandstorm in The Martian) is tolerable, but completely messing up innocuous stuff you should have hired a field specialist to help you (physics, astronomy, police, medical, anything) with is inexcusable with the kind of budget even a lowly Sharknado has.

Seriously: I love movies. I was torn between engineering and cinema in college. Let's join together to never again have a cringe worthy moment on TV (unless it's there for the comedy value).
The primary issue is Google’s complete lack of knowledge and apathy regarding Enterprise sales. I’m sure they have plenty of employees with experience and understanding of the Enterprise business but their entire culture and management layer is way too heavily weighted toward engineering to successfully sell to the Enterprise. Slootman was probably right in that Google needs a major aquisition to bring in a global sales culture rather than trying to build it from scratch. And then the old guard needs to not crush that culture. Activist employees won’t make it any easier to grow their Enterprise business as every company in the world has things you can protest about.

Perhaps Google should focus on undercutting Amazon and Micosoft at the low end while building up their cloud capabilities and Enterprise sales culture. And then really go after the large customers 2 years from now.
I haven't been following Apples sales for as long or in much detail, but the last two years those predictions have basically come true, right? The thing saving AAPL is increased unit prices, which seems unlikely to be a good long term strategy.

It looks pretty standard ... it does have GitHub integration enabled, and custom fields and workflow for each project, which seems like a pretty standard thing for organizations/users to do.

I recently switched to an OpendBSD machine with no mouse. I have a large screen and use tmux-- no X windows --and a clicky gamer's keyboard. It's soooo nice.

The only downside so far is that about ~%60 of the WWW sucks through Lynx... I have a separate machine on my desk that's basically a Firefox and VSCode kiosk now. But I've gotten a dead-tree hardcopy book on Vim...
Spot on. I don't believe anyone who claims not to have contemplated suicide; it's everpresent in the news and entertainment. It always has been, too. If anything, not having thought through some of those eventualities is short-sighted.
It'd prevent me using the Vim clipboard ('registers') between files. That's bad enough. It'd also prevent me using Vim macros to easily shuttle data between files.

I may also want to ctrl-z Vim to run a few quick commands before resuming Vim with fg. Using tmux panes, I'd only get a small window to run those few commands, which doesn't reflect my intent. (Yes, I could use another tmux window for this, but I like this way.)

I suspect it would also mean more keystrokes.
It's the first little step but you can't discount it, I struggled through my CS degree being "bad at symbols" until I found the book in the top comment and things got significantly easier, because even the mathematical courses that don't expect much maths background are taught by people who do have that background and often fall back on those symbols and the vocabulary they've got the experience with.

Honestly it's weird getting this far without knowing the symbols well, I went to a significantly poorer and less well staffed school that most of my fellow students, and you're kind of between a rock and a hard place sometimes, because no-one sees it as their job to catch you up, and the people who do know it learned it long ago manually and don't exactly have an easy time teaching you if you ask.
