I hear that constantly, but it's my favorite remote. I did, however, buy a sub 10 dollar silicone case for it, with a strap. It's easy to grip, comfortable, doesn't slide, and it is always obvious which way is up/forward both visually and tactilely. I think the shortcomings are well addressed with such a simple fix. But, I also use a case on my phone to fix it's same shortcomings, so perhaps that's why it doesn't feel like such a leap to me.

On the other hand, it might just be that I can get used to anything. (Err, I also think the Apple TV UI is fine, too. But, perhaps I lack the imagination to envision a better UI.)

I'm curious as to when this mythical age of widespread access to "real news" existed. George Orwell dated it to at least 80 years ago ("History stopped in 1936")...
Are you completely sure there isn't some culture reason they are so good at running? There are so many variables at play beyond our modern understanding.

It's just a topic we really don't have a good grasp of, as is the case with most of medicine. We understand a lot of strategies, but our understandings of root causes is still very poor.

Yup, you're right. I feel stupid now :-)

edit: apparently you have to use apple devices? oh heck no, what were they thinking?
I use a book called "first break all the rules"

It is also based on gallup data. They determined that employee happiness was not correlated to company success. They did find that the following questions in order were highly correlated to company success.

1. Do I know what is expected of me at work?

2. Do I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right?

3. At work, do I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day?

4. In the last seven days, have I received recognition or praise for doing good work?

5. Does my supervisor, or someone at work, seem to care about me as a person?

6. Is there someone at work who encourages my development?

7. At work, do my opinions seem to count?

8. Does the mission/purpose of my company make me feel my job is important?

9. Are my co-workers committed to doing quality work?

10. Do I have a best friend at work?

11. In the last six months, has someone at work talked to me about my progress?

12. This last year, have I had opportunities at work to learn and grow?
> the problem I'm addressing is that the interpretation of the experiment assumes that the system is memoryless

That's easy to verify by testing the various components--parametric down conversion, prisms, beam splitters, etc.--and showing that if you shine repeated photons on them from the same source, prepared in the same state, they all come out in the same state, or more generally give the same results. All of the optical components involved in these experiments have been tested in this way: if they had failed such tests, they wouldn't be used in experiments because we wouldn't be able to be confident in their behavior.

> n the experiments generating the photon pairs from parametric downconversion, for example, does the entire system start up, send 1 photon which gets split into the entangled photon pairs which then go to the detectors -- with no other photons generated?

For current photon sources, it's impossible to control exactly when they emit a photon. The sources are so inefficient (in terms of converting input energy into photons that are useful for the experiment) that they end up emitting photons slowly enough that only one at a time is inside the apparatus. However, a typical experiment does not use just one photon. It has to take data from many photons because the results are statistical, so you need enough runs to do statistics.

> If the experimental system has memory then it could easily have the phase of the effective wave or some other function of the history of photons encoded in the state of the system.

We know how to design systems that do this: they're called "detectors" and "computers that store data". But such systems have to be carefully designed to do those jobs. Optical components like prisms and beam splitters are not designed to do that: they're designed to do exactly the opposite, to act the same way on every photon that comes into them in the same input state. As I noted above, those components have been extensively tested to make sure they do in fact do that; if they didn't, they wouldn't be used in experiments.

It's right there on the FileTransfer page... "Open Android File Transfer. The next time that you connect your device, it opens automatically".

That's not magic mate, something needs to monitor for your Android device being connected otherwise you'd complain that it's not as user friendly as other Mac apps.
There is nothing ad hominem about my question. I don’t know you. For all I know you are an 18 year old who is simply repeating alt-right conspiracies that you read on 4chan. I do think it is interesting that you avoided answering my question. You avoided responding to anything I wrote.

Ian Tattersall published a study suggesting that homo sapiens left Africa between 200,000 and 150,000 years ago. Sapiens reached Indonesia 70,000 years ago, and Australia by 50,000 years ago.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever thought about the implications of what you are saying, but if you honestly believe that all of the cultural innovations of the Upper Paleolithic Revolution, happening north of the Sahara, in the Levant and across Eurasia, are due to biological change, then you are saying that the the people who were left behind in Sub-Saharan Africa are not fully human. That is a popular argument with racists. I’m not accusing you of being a racist, but I am asking you if that is seriously the argument you are trying to make.

There are some other types of argument, similar to yours, that I've run into online. Some people insist that humans were genetically engineered by aliens. That argument is based on no evidence, though it does have the nice property that is not raced based. Some other people make a religious and/or spiritual argument, arguing that there is a universal consciousness and that it spread across the world 50,000 years ago. That has all the problems of any religious argument -- it could be true, but there is no evidence and no way to prove it.

What I am asking is what type of argument are you making? Are you making a racial argument? Or do you believe in aliens? Or do you think some kind of god is responsible? Or are you willing to consider what I've suggested, that economic and cultural development is complex, and can not be easily mapped back to biological changes?
Or the user can just tell it to update later on when they aren’t using it.

With the benefit that all necessary components are updated together and that Apple can push out any updates world wide without waiting on the carriers....,
This entertaining essay captures things well without getting distracted by some of the really funny stories, many of which cannot be repeated as the protagonists are still alive.

Programming in Japan is typically a low-status job considered a blue collar occupation (Nintendo and SCEI are notable exceptions) despite Japan having produced quite a few globally notable computer scientists. I remember visiting a 5 Gen project om 1984. I was shocked by the open plan office (how did anyone get any work done?). At the row of desks was one ASCII terminal for each two desks (to a KL-20 I assume but can no longer remember). I spoke with one of the developers asking him what he thought of the environment. "Great: I only have to share the terminal with one other person".

The next year I myself was employed at MCC in their AI group (they had a database and CAD group, and perhaps one other) working for Doug Lenat and designing the Cyc system (when I got there they were working in Interlisp on Dandelions, not surprisingly as Doug's office had been around the corner from mine at PARC). The first thing I did was toss the Interlisp implementation and redo it on for a 3600.

5Gen and MCC actually were 2 and 3 of another transformational hype effort, the Center Mondial d'Informatique and Ressource Humaine (World Center for Computer Sciences and Human Resources) launched in France in 1983 on the back of an influential book by a major French intellectual, Jean-Jaques Servan-Schreiber. They had a KL-20, a Vax (with a copy of BSD I carried over there in my luggage) and a few CADR Lispms (two or four, I can't remember). With swanky offices in central Paris around the corner from the presidential palace and a lobby full of Apple 2s that anyone could walk in and try out they didn't do much for the third world I'm afraid, idealistic goals notwithstanding, but they did launch quite a few very good computer scientists, so were probably worth the effort.

So I worked for CMIRH and MCC, and spent some time at 5Gen. Fun times.
Apple should just spin off everything but iPhone into a company that people who need quarterly growth can invest in.

I agree. I can't get to any more than the first two paragraphs of the body of the article.
The legal innovation is this: by being here, you consent to <15 page contract>.

Imagine that in the real world. I honestly expect it to become commonplace - by entering our store, you agree to the terms posted in the binder you may ask to view.

Do you mean selfishness or low self-wroth? Selfishness is that you're doing it because you only care about yourself and not the other person (In that case you would be talking about yourself). Low self-worth is where you believe you're view point and genuine experiences are lesser than the other person.
Middle-click and drag to rotate the viewport

Shift+middle-click to translate the viewport

If you're using a Mac, or a laptop without a three-button trackpad or mouse, there is an option called "emulate three-button mouse" that lets you use alt+left-click as an alternative to middle-click. A little clumsy, but adequate for viewing files on-the-go.

In the new 2.80 UI, there is a set of colored axes in the top-right corner. Clicking and dragging on those rotates the viewport, and clicking on the ends of one of the axes aligns the viewport to that axis.

To the left of those axes is a hand-shaped icon. Clicking and dragging on this icon translates the viewport.

(I'm curious which programs you've used before. This is definitely the same way you navigate in all of Autodesk's products, and in SolidWorks.)
Fun fact: the opening scene of The Passion of the Christ had dialogue in Aramaic.
Very first sentence of 2.1 is full of notation, symbols and terms that I, as a prospective student, might not understand.

The iPhone costs too much now.

People are realizing they can buy a OnePlus 6T or Samsung 9 for half the price.

My wife has been fed up with our older Android phone and said - we're going back to the iphone. We looked up the prices for the latest, second latest, third latest iphone models and then she said - why don't we get another OnePlus.

Apple's main value is it's brand. Being a status symbol.

Second is their customer lock-in.

Those can carry lots of value. And even strength, maybe. But growth ?

And design ? Google can design well enough. Their interfaces are easy and fun to use. Beyond that, regular people don't care.
I mean, if the first malicious app has less permissions than Fortnite, it could potentially gain Fortnite's permissions through the vulnerability. But the first malicious app likely could've just asked for those permissions itself, it's not like Fortnite has egregious permissions as it is, and neither can run as root.

Which is to say, there's the possibility for minor problems that should be fixed, but it's far from the "Epic is terribly insecure, trust the malware-ridden Play Store instead" rhetoric we got from this particularly aggressive media campaign.
> This is kinda what the US was like up until the 1960s

Whereas now, instead, the US finally has the sort of society and power structures it deserves.
It's a different situation. Samsung is a big company, whereas the lightbulb vendors are fly-by-night resellers/contract manufacturers that don't care about patents. The patent holder goes after the biggest fish because Target is less likely to disappear than JKLM Filament Light Bulb Importing Ltd.
Curious to know what that book on iPhone development is?
That is kind of how it is already though.

For a specific example, it is legal to conceal carry in public spaces in my state, but I have seen a lot of stores having some extra rules posted on their window saying that by entering the store you agree to their no-carry rule, among others.
Godot has done a great job in this space. The Blender team is wise to not try to be great at everything, especially when they are great at so much.

it seems to me that most of those questions should influence positively employee happiness.
> So I really don't understand where all the schadenfreude comes from, in the article. A big commercial project failed and took with it a whole branch of computer science. Who, exactly, benefited from this?

It wasn't a big commercial system; it was a big government system (you probably can't imagine the degree of shock and awe that greeted MITI people or even the mention of the minstry in the US). This was when Japan was going to destroy America and goodamnit, Something Must Be Done.

Of course as happens with such projects it all comes tumbling down, but usually with a whimper. Apollo is another good example: they hit their goal and then what? 5Gen was the more common case: just wasted away.

The schadenfreude comes not just from the central planning hubris but from the American freak-out response to what was really hype and a squib. The author says the same thing is happening today, with the hype-o-meter on 11, again in the AI field, and again with an "asian menace" on the horizon, this time China.

5Gen just rode a hype machine though; it didn't take the field out -- we could all see that coming anyway.
I look at this and profoundly thank the people who make ml libraries for us the rest of us.
It's essentially entrapment, or not far from it.

That sentence has two qualifiers. I still have two people telling me I'm wrong.

In my youth, I would have agreed that a thing should just not be touched if it's not yours because maybe they will come back for it. Someday.

I'm still inclined to generally err in that direction, but I'm less judgy than I used to be of people who would be inclined to feel that a perishable -- like beer -- left out in the open for days on end must be basically abandoned and up for grabs because people don't typically buy consumables like that and leave them sitting out for days on end.

It's not normal behavior. It was intended to be temptation. Whether it meets the legal definition of entrapment or not, it makes for a town I don't really want to visit. There's no telling how far down this slippery slope they will go to keep themselves entertained and prove their paychecks aren't simply a waste of money.

I raised two kids. I've thought quite a lot about such things. I think setting up a "test" of that sort to see who will fall for it isn't nice behavior and shouldn't be done, especially not if your real motive is merely because you are bored.
What you feel doesn't matter to what is. Many were developed and made in China, but that doesn't mean they have the IP rights secured to sell in any or all markets where other patent holders registered the idea first.
But see _you_ a person is not here. A bot is here, and a bot can't enter a contract.
Here are some relevant facts:

Boys are far more likely to be medicated, punished, or expelled from school and as a result of that lifelong inequality, only 40% of college students are men.

Women receive 97% of alimony and win custody 80% of the time.

Men are far more likely to be prosecuted or convicted when accused of a crime.

90% of prisoners, 70% of homeless people, and 75% of suicides are men.

Why would you think speaking about things like this is comparable to being anti-vaxx?
When I think of distortions to the energy market, I think of screwed up regulation. And it is usually not to the benefit of the customers.

A friend in texas pays about .06/kwh for residential power.
In California, PG&E gets power at 0.03/0.04 per kwh, and resells it to residential customers for .22/.28/.49 per kwh. (you pay more when you use more, unlike any other commodity)

I hope these markets benefit from robust competition, and maybe projects like this help. Allow alternative energy, route around distribution problems and shake things up a bit.

(yeah, "throw out the old code, rewrite it")
Progress is a slow. But we're still making progress even if sometimes it's two steps forward and one and a half backwards.
> I could be convinced otherwise

Besides the fact that innovation needs to be funded? These things don't happen in a bubble, and financial reward has historically proven to be the greatest driver of innovation.
I'm not sure about their revenue model but I completely concur with the GIMP experience. When I use it I feel like the wheels are going to come off, and they often do. Photoshop, while a bit bloated at 29 years old, is pretty amazing software.

What's wrong with "echo *" all of a sudden?
Why is this voted down. Just wondering.
My 14yo Lumix bridge camera can do Bracketing and Exposure compensation with a button press. Every DLSR I have used can with no look buttons and dials as well. I don't know about the flash sync as I never used that. What cameras are you using that the above things require menu hunting?

The multiple settings preview thing sounds interesting but isn't something I can see using myself. The video autofocus stuff is another example of why I don't like photography cameras being repurposed as camcorders, although I read dual-pixel AF and its equivalents are quite good. No personal experience though as I have no video interest really.
Update: So I got drunk instead (which has basically the same effect on me).

Programming is math, except in the real world you have to deal with countless technical and business constraints. So unsurprisingly, theory != practice. The substance might just change in practice because a theoretical answer is completely impractical.

A formal language? Mathematics is a language of hand-waving. And I say that as a person who _loves_ math, even though I didn't take math beyond calc in college. When you translate math into algorithms and real programs, you begin running into problems that shape your solution. Really, you could come up with infinite different solutions to the same problem, all with different characteristics, use cases, strengths and weaknesses. There's no point in making a shared library, because it would be too fucking big and confusing. Better to formulate a solution yourself at this point, if you know what you're looking for, and tune it as you go.

I expect little to no cross-pollination because mathematicians love math and love their own work and love not having to deal with implementation issues, and have no desire to learn anything you mentioned. Unit testing, refactoring, ...none of it. Even many CS profs don't care, it's just the way it is -- a love of powerful ideas, not so much the dirty work of making them a reality. They theorize, and write off everything else as "applications." Nobody wants to write a beautiful algorithm, that also has to handle the sizes of different data types, and consider that not all the data may be in memory, and so on.
Yes but many people fail to realize that the company's stock price is future valuation and growth.

Unlikely. Resellers don't do their own specialized electronics manufacturing. They likely do like other resellers and have them contract manufactured or slap their brand on some generic parts.
Not Made for This World
I honestly don’t know why police don’t first and foremost do social work, helping out their communities (visiting elderly, helping folks with disabilities, helping collect data, repair or fix ailing public facilities, etc) instead of putting them in jail and fining them. Call me crazy, but what a wonderful world that would be... if people saw a cop and thought “fuck yeah, this person is here to help me,” rather than “find or create a situation in which I’ve done something wrong and will be punished.”

We are all long-term pretty fucked as long as we have institutions devoted to our worst selves. As another commenter said, we need to incentivize better behavior if we want it...
Many public places already have massive signs like this. Whether they're enforceable I have no idea, but the comparison is not direct because an owner of a business has the right to kick you out for almost any reason (there are exceptions for non-discrimination, of course).
Hint: it's not happening everywhere in the world, it's a western world thing.
