It’s true that you can’t impregnate an animal in heat, but once in heat you can obviously. It’s also possible to control heat with hormon supplements, which farmers regularly use to synchronize calfings in their herd.

Not really sure what point you’re trying to make. Just because a female is ovulating, do you have the right to impregnate her?
This, in theory, is really cool! Have you thought about making this into a work chat like app? I could totally see this being used at work with all my colleagues in the office.
There is no ISIS subreddit because ISIS has now moved its threatening planning underground into encrypted channels where the good people at the NSA can no longer quietly observe and monitor from afar.

Arguments about whether deplatforming has merit should be automatically deplatformed via machine-learning in order to teach everyone a valuable lesson in civics. At least, if I were to create a Hacker News or a Reddit or a Facebook or a Twitter, that would be one of the first things I would build.
I'm handy but not a trained technician. For example, I've replaced a starter in a 2003 Honda Odyssey, repair appliances around my house, etc. I used an iFixit kit to replace the battery and screen in an iPhone SE. It took me about an hour following their guide. The hardest part was getting the old battery unglued from the case. I was careful to follow their warnings about fully discharging the old battery. Nothing burst into flames.

Was it potentially dangerous? I suppose... but so is using power tools. Frankly I'm more worried about fire every time I charge one of my 18650 flashlight batteries.

This is BS from Apple, and further it's paternalistic.
My understanding is that your experience is correct, but incomplete - it doesn't account for people who don't know the subject, but do well on the test.

Particularly with multiple-choice tests, this is not only possible, but in my experience common. It became a kind of running joke among my classmates that we know our teachers, not the material - over time we just learned the quirks of whoever designed the test and eliminated the wrong answers based on that.

>replacing the motor in your car is also a pretty extensive operation requiring extremely expensive tooling

Well SOMEONE's dad didn't have a small collection of junker vehicles in the yard to pull parts from growing up. Shoot, I know multiple people (including Dad) who rebuilt their Volkswagen Beetle engine in their unlucky girlfriend's living room (yes that unlucky girlfriend is now my mother) with hand tools. If you think working on cars requires expensive tooling, you just don't know enough rednecks! lololol
Apple is doomed. Huawei will replace them.
Another reason to balance the test set when the train set is unbalanced is to check if lack of training data for certain classes is a problem. You would use cross-validation, but do different splits for each class. It might well turn out that certain classes are just "easy", and you don't need to find more training samples for them to get the overall accuracy up.
Legislators, apparently.
Extending patents wouldn't work that well in his model - as you can see from the graphs it is already discounted crazily (I'd argue for a 6% discount rate, not 8, but it hadly changes the calculus). Besides market exclusivity can often be extended by adding indications and pediatric studies, so they aren't as short as first stated. Plus on some drugs you then get other patents - see inhalers where you have patents on the devices as well as the drugs.

Equally asking to prove safety only... you still have to do the studies, and need a lot of exposure so why not capture outcomes too? I'm not convinced it would be a lot cheaper to omit the outcomes - you still have to recruit the patients, and monitor them. Take HIV, if you don't test blood, you don't know what is happening to patients blood counts, since you have the blood, why not also check for efficacy in viral supression?

Regulatory is also based on benefit:risk, without evidence of benefit, why tolerate any risk? Also how many clinicians would give new drugs with only theoretical efficacy?Hopefully none. All the drugs that fail trials we also think should work, and spend money to prove it! Not to mention the market for pharmaceutical is worldwide, the EMA, Health Canada, Swissmedic and others would throw something out with no evidence of benefit, greatly limiting your market, even in the US.

Are the FDA perfect? No. Are they excellent? Yes. Some of my research touches up against what they do, and my respect for them grows with every interaction. They're also continually improving. The fundamental problem is that we're looking at a 'better than the Beatles' problem
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eroom%27s_law

What might work? More collaboration between companies. If we can enrol one placebo arm, but test 4 active products against it, we cut the costs (and improve the ethics by giving fewer patients placebo). There are a few other minor tweaks too, but it is something we all want to improve, and are trying to do so!

I think it's, for example, eminently possible to reconcile Twitter's right not to be obligated to carry "hate speech" (aside: please don't derail this discussion with an unnecessary diversion into whether that's a thing, or where its boundaries are; this is meta-level) with the President's not being able to block people.

If he's using the platform to conduct "official" business (which, IMO, he is), blocking is pretty obviously not kosher. That's an utterly different case than whether they should have to promulgate Joe Bigot's shitty opinions. We already have structurally similar legal doctrines in place in the case of libel against public figures, for example.

Looking for blanket solutions is the wrong idea, out the gate, however much more difficult and nuanced that will ultimately make handling the thorniness of the issue, taken large, and I think you actually already appreciate that, with your takes on the 4th and 5th Amendment questions.
I am assuming he is referring to cryptocurrencies & blockchain tech. There are plenty of businesses doing well but that's irrelevant. Waiting for established businesses in a growing space before jumping in isn't very innovative.

If Apple provided the same jigs, repair tools, and documentation that the Apple stores use wouldn't that reduce the likelihood of injury?

Nobody is suggesting Apple provide these for free, but right now Apple will even block third parties from trying to provide equivalent jigs, tools, and documentation.
The set of companies & foundations centered around blockchain, cryptocurrency, distributed ledgers, and related technologies. Coinbase, Binance, CoinMarketCap are doing great, Bitmain would be doing great except they made a terrible bet on Bitcoin Cash, a number of other organizations (VeChain, IOTA, Ripple, Stellar, Ethereum) are doing "we'll see", and still others (Bitfinex, Tether, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV) are imploding dramatically.
Google also grew to dominate the browser market during 2011-2015.
I thought the source link was a joke at first... why is US Intelligence publishing releases on Tumblr, of all places?

This approach may work with natural sciences, but what about political topics? People who spent most time studying an ideology X, are in some sense the best available experts (they remember thousands of details), but are far from impartial. And of course, ideologies may try to call themselves "science", making it seem like people who disagree are simply uneducated.
Very impressive and inspiring.

I've been thinking about making a custom keyboard for a while now but, while I have no problems with the electronic and software side of things, I'm a bit overwhelmed with the 3D modelling required.

I tried learning Blender but it really feels ill-suited for designing physical objects. The author mentions considering openSCAD but I've heard pretty bad things about it so I haven't really given it a chance yet.

The person making the dactyl keyboard had a very interesting talk where he explain how he basically ended up writing his own DSL in clojure on top of openSCAD, maybe I should try that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk3A41U0iO4 (if you enjoyed TFA you'll probably like this video as well, it's a step-by-step explanation of how he designed his dream keyboard).

Otherwise I suppose I'll have to betray rms and try this freeware Fusion 360 thing.

Another problem is that you don't get to control the start of a FaceID scan. Many apps that I use (mostly for banking) have some non-deterministic loading procedure that can take from 1-20 seconds. At some point, the load completes and the app initiates a FaceID scan. If you're not holding the phone at the right angle at that moment, the scan fails. Then it falls back to a passcode.

It's a terrible user experience. They should give me the chance to push a button after I've gotten the phone in the right position before initiating the scan. Or they should give me the chance to retry the scan if I wasn't ready. As it is, they expect me to hold my phone rigidly for a non-deterministic amount of time in order to use FaceID.
It smells to me like the article is mixing up CTIA (the wireless industry trade organization) and CompTIA, but Motherboard doesn't really cite adequate sources to tell for sure.

The real limit is the quality of the data. Wikidata’s (free) query tool is quite powerful but if the knowledge subject you’re interested in is poorly defined the query engine can’t help.
I just took a look at Everipedia, and it looks like they are just cloning content from Wikipedia. At least that's what it seems like based on the article on E. coli.
Apple Store isn‘t the only place where things can be fixed. There are authorised service centres, like Gravis in Germany.

And the parts? Just went to iFixit, they‘re all there to buy. I‘m sure anybody serious about fixing these things professionally can source the parts.
The Database part is a little odd: neither are MongoDB or Postgres written in JavaScript nor are they the only databases that can be accessed directly from JavaScript either by Node driver or via HTTP.
Well, seeing that their Apple Watch business is the size of a F200 company. I think they are doing well.

Also, if you compare their revenue mix and knowing Apple you know they are running each part profitably, they are doing much better than Google who after all of these years is still just an ad company.

I assume this refers to cyptocurrency-related businesses. ICOs ('initial coin offerings') collected around $5.6 billion and most of them never delivered any real product: https://www.coinwire.com/ey-report-finds-most-2017-icos-fail...

One could argue that getting enormous amounts of money without needing to produce any results for it is the very definition of "doing well".

Right to repair + repairability legislation is the double-punch we need. Apple is probably concerned that the latter will be the next step after we get the right to repair things, but we really need it.
Depending on the car, there are quite a few more small fiddly components. Magnitudes more.
Yes it is quite amazing how they have almost complete browser dominance and video content creation/hosting dominance as well as search dominance but are unable to come up with even a simple in browser tipping system to hedge against the downfall of their almost entirely ad based revenue.
It's not even about making it repairable. It's about just making the repair tools and manuals available for sale to the public.
Yes, and she generalizes about all testing organizations. To repeat hear exact line in full context:

> Dose of reality: test makers are for-profit organizations. My poems are a whole lot cheaper than Mary Oliver’s or Jane Kenyon’s, so there’s that.

She does not say, "Texas state test makers..." -- she just says "test makers." She singles out STAAR in the rest of the article but that graph explicitly says "test makers."
Question -- why does this matter to me? As long as the market agrees to trade it for around 1.00 USD, +/- a few %, which seems to generally be happening, it shouldn't matter to me whether it's backed or not. It's just an abstract notion that the market has agreed to trade at a certain price.

(It's not like I would hold onto USDT for a long time anyway -- it's only there to facilitate short-term needs. If I wanted to hold USD I'd just change it for USD and hold that instead.)

They made that problem with the batteries for themselves.
I have owned a couple of different mac laptops, and the ones from 2011 and earlier used to have a built in bracket on the battery that stabilised it and made it trivial to fasten and unfasten with screws.

The brackets did not take up all that much space, but apparently it was worth it to them to save a few minutes in manufacturing and a few seconds in assembly and just use adhesives directly against the unibody for fastening and stabilising.
In America at least I think the repair debates as a matter of law are off the mark overall. What I think is at the actual root of the problem for most people (and for the market), and what I'd really like to see legally, would be adaptive mandated warranty periods that better match the common sense expectation of how long a device should reasonably last. Say 1 year per $200 up to a max of 5 years for a napkin example, though it may be that a non-linear curve with monthly resolution would work better. But the core market issue really is the same old story about externalities and information asymmetry: manufacturers know failure rates far better then consumers, are in far more of a position to make money on the tradeoffs, and the total cost isn't reflected in the sticker price. While for something super bargain basement there is an understanding that durability may be less, I think most people feel like a premium, ~$1k+ computer should be expected to last a good 4-6 years, and if not then the manufacturer should repair or replace it at no additional charge, including a reasonable amount for shipping (COTUS at least). How exactly a manufacturer chooses to hit that should be up to them, but that's what the standard result should be.

So in the case of Apple, if they still wanted to make expensive to repair 1st/certified-3rd party only devices they could, but they'd have to eat all the expenses of that. No foisting it off onto an unlucky 0.1% or 1% or 2% or 7% or whatever of customers, it should be their job to get it right. If it makes the retail price too expensive, then they'll naturally have to figure out how to lower the failure rate or decrease the repair cost. Extended warranties should never be a thing except for special extra commercial services (onsite repairs, specific SLAs, advance replacement and so forth).
If you want to find root cause, you need to dissect that one number.

Without breaking out China vs non-China you would have concluded that Apple is slowing down/customers unhappy/products unattractive. This would have been the wrong conclusion for the non-China world.

You don't treat the world as one unified market.
Speaking as someone who asked a similar question: I doubt they're going to answer this, because it would tip their hand, and no possible answer would benefit this little publicity junket/advertorial PR dump.

If they say they're going to moderate the site such that vaccines don't cause autism, in their view, that's taking the "party line dogma all alternative views are crushed by moderator fiat" approach, as per the comment you're replying to.

If they say it's going to be a free-for-all, they're implicitly saying that, unless they get a team of users onboard to stamp out nonsense quickly, their site is going to be Yahoo Answers with more Ajax, and a clearinghouse for "Big Pharma Chemtrails Cause Morgellons Vaccines To Sterilize White Babies" type nonsense, because the extremists always seem to have time to spread their idiocy into any unmoderated or lightly-moderated forum.

However, the questions still have value, if only because the answers resonate in their nonexistence.

Replacing a motor requires hand tools and a motor lift. That's it. Upgrading or modifying might take special tools like an ECU programmer, but a straight mechanical replacement is just a bunch of screws and bolts.

I was there for both the end of the Eric era and the beginning of the second Larry era. I liked Eric - he was an engineer at heart, but he also was effective at making decisions, listened well, and was able to defer to subordinates when they had better ideas. Much of Google's strength came because he tolerated Larry & Sergey running around sponsoring talented engineering teams to work on crazy projects without his knowledge, which must've been challenging as a leader but was ultimately a great thing for Google.
Google's problem now is that anything smaller than a billion-dollar business is not on their radar screen

That seems quite wrong, given that:

2. Google is invested in many, many pre-billion-dollar businesses.
TIL what a "postal cover" was, and how "cancelled envelopes" work.

Which made me realize how little I've ever used the postal services for actual letters in my life. My generation (late 80s / early 90s) must be one of the last to interact with the postal system when personally sending letters to people, rather than just parcels.

End users wouldn’t be using them.

I’m all for Apple providing support for third-party repair shops. I’m against Apple being forced to allow actual end-users to open up and “repair” their phones, because the latter is not going to end well. I shouldn’t be allowed to open up my own phone, but I should be able to take it to a third-party repair shop with access to Apple tools and training materials.
This is seems fair enough to me, it's an attempt to prevent this kind of thing happening again:

In terms of numbers of contributors we believe Golden is at the stage where 1 hour editing on Golden produces more content/data than alternatives and the friction to edit is much lower. Are you looking for more depth on comparisons beyond the blog post?
But why. What use would my Google Docs have?
I've never actually owned a phone that stopped working for any reason other than negligence on my part. Maybe I'm just particularly negligent, but I always either lose them, drop them, or get them wet long before their natural life expires.

Part of the reason is that the repair or replacement cost doesn't bother me enough for it to be worth putting it in a case (which is a privilege of being a well-paid software engineer; I understand not everyone can afford to have the same priorities).

But at any rate, if I were more price-conscious, repairability would matter much more than a longer warranty, since with repairability I could fix problems that are my own fault just as well as ones due to normal lifespan issues.

Do other people have different experience?

How long would an iPhone last without abuse?

> Apple didn't get to where they are by optimizing the supply chain but by coming up with incredible products that everyone HAD to have

Apple's supply chain used to have some really bad inventory turnover numbers. Unsold inventory would literally sit in warehouses depreciating in value, costing the company lots of money. You might be interested in reading this piece on Tim Cook's changes to the supply chain:

https://money.cnn.com/2008/11/09/technology/cook_apple.fortu...

It's either misguided or completely dishonest for you to assert that Apple's supply chain management plays second fiddle to its products when it comes to their success as a company.
