This is likely an intentional design decision, and it sounds like a common-sense safety feature.

Great feature for walking and public transit directions. They still have interactive bits for the driving directions — I can't imagine what sort of "common sense" simply hides the report a problem thing until you dig through a few levels of mediocre UI.
I'm wondering if someone else could have control of the implant.

Involuntary implants for behavior control of violent criminals, or just hackers taking control of regular implants, or worse still ... advertisers

It is not hard to come up with plenty of dystopian scenarios involving this sort of technology.
I think so. I'm most excited about more subject matter experts turning into publishers. The last two pubs I started (programming and marketing) are run by half time editors so that they still have time to be practicioners. The first one I started (Better Humans) has much more ambitious (and expensive) goals for quality but I think it's a bit early for where Medium's economic incentives are.
What?

It's 62^11 * 0.016 (seconds). 11 because 11-character-long id; 62 because 62 possible characters in each location (26 lowercase, 26 uppercase, 10 numerals); 16ms in each frame of a 60fps video.
Whether their marketing language is included in the actual contract is irrelevant. If sales people and Tesla sell cars based on the idea that a Tesla is better because you get software updates and added functionality down the road (which they do), courts would most definitely side with the consumer.

Not to mention the fact that courts also tend to side with consumers when it comes to "implied contracts". If every car sold has and still does get updates on a regular basis, Tesla can't just not give the same to some customers.

Now, there may well be a provision allowing in the contract staying they have a right to deny updates if you try to reverse engineer things, but otherwise, they would need to go through the courts to go after someone for breach of contract. You don't get to take the law into your own hands when you suspect someone of wronging you.
I don't know go, so I'm confused here. If nothing failed, the error is just made silent? The program will move to doOtherThing, as if nothing failed, and everything will move forward?
Strange matter is really interesting stuff, but linking to a one-paragraph post that links to a Kurzgesagt video? HN would prefer you link to the video directly and cut out the blog-spam middle man.

Sounds like in theory, you should be able to just remove the bluetooth battery unit from behind your ear to completely disable the implants. However, if someone else is in control of your brain, perhaps you wouldn't be able to...
I'm saying that AT&T will never take a moral stand against spammers, and they have no incentive to take an economic stand. Companies like Twitter that "deplatform" (see: ban) users do do because it's more profitable to do so than not for a variety of reasons.

So the only shortish term solution is a legislative one. The long term solution I see is that people will stop using phone service entirely if the reliability does not improve. I'd be fine with that. AT&T wouldn't be but that's beyond their next few fiscal years so I doubt anyone working there now cares.
Why listen to music when you can read the lyrics? The written word was created out of a need to disseminate information to the masses more efficiently than the author speaking to everyone individually, but that's now a mostly solved problem with podcast distribution. Spoken word allows for certain nuances that are hard or impossible to convey over text. Also, it's just fun to listen to a few good hosts go back and forth.
pg has a blind spot wrt Java. Lots of hackers liked (and still like) Java ecosystem (see Kotlin for more recent fun). like lisp hackers, they hung out on their own and didn't mingle.
I reckon the guy in the article was referring to COBOL basically having fixed sized data structures. Having all your data structures of a fixed size does allow for alot of optimizations that would otherwise not be available.
However, you can make fixed size data structures in any language, and the benefits of this is somewhat moot with the large caches and fast CPUs (compared to IO) of modern computer systems.

Full speed USB-C allows for high-bandwidth and easy to plug in. It's a pretty good connector if you don't need severe weather resistance.

Using off the shelf hardware saves time for the scientists to develop more meaningful parts of the system.

Using off the shelf hardware makes it seem a little less hacky than if they were running a bunch of jumper wires off a DB-25 connector from an old printer.

Which is fine, but avoiding left turns and U-turns needs to be available as a user preference, and it (inexplicably) isn't.
It's very likely it's in humans now, and watching the live stream it looks like they are working on a brain.

This technique has been used on rats for at least a decade now, and I believe it's already been tested on humans prior to this.
I misread it exactly the same as you and had to go back.

I think since the default is for something to be "legal" until it is made "illegal" it makes the phrase "already legal" an uncommon one.

doOtherStuff(doStuff())

is the happy path, but it's been hidden among lines of noise that do nothing more than return to the callers who know what to do. Generating this using cpp or m4 would suck, but it's still better than not generating it due to wasted effort (especially re-reading) and mistakes.
> Because it encourages nesting function calls, which is harder for a human to parse than separate statements across lines.

I absolutely agree. Beyond the human parsing aspect it also makes commit changes easier to reason about and review. I want functionality to be limited per-line and view the ability to combine a lot of functionality into one line as a liability more than a benefit.

Go's error handling isn't carefree or hands-off, but that's because error handling is serious. Especially in network code and cryptography.
The missing piece I needed to understand this:

I really love Marco Arment and ATP, but I couldn't figure out the UI of Overcast, so if anyone's in the same boat I'd highly recommend Pocket Casts. It's a super nice UI and supports Google Casting.
COBOL has a worse construct than this.

This will cause any gotos to LABEL1 to be redirected to LABEL2.

This is worse than older Fortran's arithmetic IF[0].

> And for months, small businesses have turned to social media to complain about the company’s outstanding debts.

Though D&D was a company and the situation is somewhat different, this reminds me of my tutoring experience with a few supposedly affluent NYC clients; they had a similar capacity to appear posh while somehow being unable to pay their invoices without heavy cajoling. Made me happy I forced clients to sign up for recurring payment with stripe, which at least reduced the number of times I had to "remind" them. My own experience is obviously anecdotal and specific, but if anything I found a negative correlation between external markers of wealth and ability/willingness (same result on my end) to pay invoices.
The parents screen time is probably more damaging than the child's screen time, to the child. They are probably directly correlated, time wise.
In the end the concept of a species is a man-made construct that tries to shoehorn the evolutionary diversity into pigeonholes.

For example, your definition of breeding might work okayish for higher eukaryotes, but is unusable for prokaryotes. There people might be using some kind of definition based on the sequence identity of genomes.

From the users standpoint, there are two things that Apple Music can do that Spotify can’t because of iOS limitations.

- tight Siri integration.

- Apple Watch support for cellular streaming.

Both of those limitations will be corrected by this fall.

- streaming over cellular is coming to WatchOS 6 (https://9to5mac.com/2019/06/09/watchos-6-spotify/)

and

- Siri audio intents is coming to iOS 13 (https://www.macworld.com/article/3400881/ios-13-enables-siri...)

These are the same issues that podcast already have. Podcast apps are just as much “second class citizens” as third party music apps.
concurrency yes, parallelism no(t yet). each wasm module is single threaded, but you can create multiple modules in separate threads that communicate with each other via shared memory and atomic ops, but of course you have to figure out how to correctly emit modules that take advantage of this. So far emscripten's pthread is the only thing I'm aware of that properly does this.

"Can I finish before you cut in?" directed at the interrupter seems to work for me - it's a reasonable request, it explicitly calls out what the other person is doing in a way they won't / can't reasonably get defensive about, and if they keep talking over you it telegraphs to other people that they're being a jerk.

It's annoying and probably unfair to have to do this of course, and honestly takes more practice than I thought it would to recognize this situation is happening and remember to deploy it.

More generally, this is now something I try to pay attention to while interviewing at companies. I don't need to be in a struggle every time I have a conversation or make a point.
I don't feel like my ability to interface with the computer is a major bottleneck for me. If I'm writing code, for example, my typing speed is really not a factor. Even typing this very short comment, I paused several times to think of how to phrase things.

I think you described it well. The go designers spent a lot of time on the end to end full workflow, and not just on the language. And had production constraints in mind for working on a backend service in a team at a boring tech company.

That's also why I think Go will forever be a "to each his own" language. By targeting that lowest common denominator, choices are made for you, some people will always dislike it, and others will always love it.
Make sure that it's easier to move little shingle Ketozol Review than a whole mountain. So in the first week drink 10 glasses of water everyday. In next week you should work instead of elevator and in third week start switching to diet sodas. And as the fourth week eliminate fried foods and when it's fifth week, start taking a vegetarian meal per week. If you meet these mini goals every week, they will add up in time. These petite changes made over time will become part of your daily routine.
Most people fail to lose weight because they are clueless about what works and what doesn't. You've got to learn the facts about weight loss otherwise prepare to fail.

Diet and Exercise are the two main things that impact your weight. If your diet and exercise is right, you will have a perfect body. If either of these is not right, you will be overweight or too skinny. So it is really important to get your diet and exercise right.

Your Diet - Your diet must be nutritious. Forget about starving, low-carb diets, low fad diets and other nonsense diets. All of them don't work and are useless. If you eat less, your metabolism will slow up and you will end up gaining more weight and fat. If you eat too much, you will feel tired and your digestion will take time.

Again, you'll gain more fat and weight. You must eat in such a way that it fills your stomach completely. Instead of eating three meals a day, eat five-six short meals.

My takeaway from your comment is that studies like [14] and [15] are very likely poorly done (like another comment describes early studies of acupuncture).

In any case, I'd expect that in within a few more years, these sorts of conflicting and controversial results should be further disproven.

Thanks.
This is the standard tech industry mantra, the only difference is that this is software designed specifically to control devices that by design are able to cause significant harm.

At some point you have to ask: is selling a product for a specific purpose ok, if you are also including a license that says it may not actually be able to be safely used for that purpose?

Do you perhaps mean a (solid) quad yellow line (aka a painted island)? It's legal to turn left across a double yellow into a driveway, private road, cross street etc in California (and every other state I've lived in long enough to look up the laws) per [1], specifically (d). It's _not_ legal to pass on a solid double yellow.

I'm pretty sure Van Ness only has a single set of double lines. What I remember from driver's ed is that you're allowed to turn into a driveway but that's about it. While it doesn't appear match up with the legal (or popular[1]) definitions, the DMV handbook[2] seems to indicate you're only allowed to make a U-turn or turn into a driveway on a double yellow.

That said, there are no left turn signs at every signaled intersection along Van Ness these days, and even if not there's so much traffic that a left turn from a busy state highway into a side street was just a blindingly stupid suggestion.

Today was fun. For the hell of it I fired up some walking directions. Instead of walking along the sidewalk, turning at major intersections Apple had me zig zag down an alley and then cross the next street in the middle of the block instead of at the signal.

There's also the aesthetic argument against raising a generation that never played outside, never got bored so bad they had to invent new games:

a generation that completely abstract their bodies into vehicles used to get data into their minds.

Pretty dystopic if you ask me.

That is a smear of the community which counts as a shallow dismissal in the sense the site guidelines ask you not to do: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. By insinuating that "hackernews" can't "tolerate" Umberto Eco because people here are fascist, you're trivializing the word and contributing to degrading the discussion.

Under present circumstances there is little chance that a thread like this will be motivated by intellectual curiosity rather than partisan passion. Users who attempt to do the former get piled on with heapings of the latter. This very essay has been discussed with curiosity in the past (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12173823), but I don't think that's why it's showing up now.
Also, at least in the US, there is little chance an insurance company could deny a claim based on a mod (reported or not) as long as said mod could not reasonably be construed to be the cause of the claim.

Not that they wouldn't try.

This point could have been phrased better, but I concur. This just eliminated a solid gig for a whole lot of women.

Unbanning sex toys was a big step forward, but creating morality bylaws will inevitably result in, eg, women engineers (like me) being potentially harrassed for showing "unacceptable" skin.

We have been here many times before. Rules that mandate appearance requirements for women in the name of protecting women in general inevitably hurt some women in particular, and create a schism between women who can make money with their noodles and women who make money with, ahem, various other assets.

Banning making money by being attractive amounts to yet another wealth transfer away from vulnerable, often marginalized, women.

I stand with sex workers, and booth babes are just that.
The comparison to early acupuncture studies makes sense and is a good one. Thanks.
So simultaneously it is both more for and more against sex. Using sex to sell things is bad but selling things for use during sex is good. If you tried to explain these moral values to visiting aliens their minds would explode.
Obviously this is a very personal thing, but that is not the case for me. I often can “see” entire chunks of code in my head, and typing out those 20 lines ends up feeling slow and frustrating.

Of course that’s not systematically the case - in many instances, I am thinking as I am writing the code. But for many straightforward control functions, tests, constructors/destructors, etc. the keyboard absolutely feels like a bottleneck.

(There is the orthogonal debate that perhaps a better language would allow me to express more concisely these things that feel straightforward)

There are, and have been, many many people working on all of these problems long before Elon Musk (the tech announced today at Neuralink is entirely built on work that was done by people at UCSF and UC Berkeley, and even that is an iteration on technology that was developed by scientists over the past several decades). Neuralink the company was founded by eight people other than Musk. It's a huge disservice to all of these people to give Musk the credit for their work.

Musk sits in a weird position where his unique blend of controversy keeps him in the headlines and ensures he gets linked to these technologies, but that does not mean he is responsible for nor deserves the credit. It could be argued that his "ability" to constantly land in the limelight draws more attention (and thus progress) to these issues, but others would argue that we would be even further along if not for the constant controversy he creates.

I don't know about you, but as a guy I would find it extremely uncomfortable at a tech conference full of male Abercrombie and Fitch type booth dudes. I would imagine female conference-attendees might have similar feelings about scantily clad booth babes.

The point of a tech conference is to enjoy exciting new tech and network with people in the industry. Having your sex appeal cast in stark relief to a bunch of models is not part of that.

> I'm wondering if someone else could have control of the implant.

My thoughts are that each brain has their own neural network that is unique to the person. This would mean that each neuron, despite similar/same location, will respond uniquely, as our personal neural networks were trained separately (across many years/decades). While I believe it may be possible to train a system to output stimulation to invoke a response, it would be susceptible to the same issues as simple password hashing (that is, while you could break a single hashed password, it would be computationally inefficient). Ignoring quantum computing theory, I think this would then make developing a system that can accurately control someone in LONG sequences would be difficult.
Even if the speed is identical to how fast you are thinking of words to type, there are plenty of applications (prevent RSI, accessibility for amputees).
Yes, this is the idea. Enclave technology should improve over time, whether it's SGX or something else. And Golem is working with Intel, Texas A&M and others in creating an environment called Graphene (https://grapheneproject.io/) where applications can easily be run on SGX.
