First economic development had to be the gateway, now Hong Kong. These overpaid, overtitled intellectuals have no ability to understand the world. They live in fantasy land, probably because everything went well in their life, after all they're in that position, and are surrounded by others like them. I wish they would just shut up, they're only doing damages. I also wish HN users were smart enough to not upvoting such inferiors editorials only because they come from publications whose reputation probably never respected the quality of the content. The internet is full of blogs with pieces that show real human nature, from people who are sane and not privileged, ungrateful, deluded bootlickers.
Given that JPM is publishing this I think we can draw one of two conclusions. Either this strategy used to work, but no longer works due to it becoming too popular. Or they never managed to actually get this strategy to work, so they're publishing it as a fun PR piece.
Probably because liberty does not mean prosperity.
I'd counter that some cosmetics that modify skill graphics effects to precisely show their AoE are a little pay to win.
60 Hour Bluetooth Headphones
Currently the longest quoted battery life on most bluetooth headphones clocks in at about 30 hours but at IFA Dali announced the io4 and io6 headphones, wireless noise cancelling cans to compete with the likes of Sony and Bose

and theyll likely not only compete but utterly destroy both of those companies in terms of sound quality and even comfort if early reports are to be believed, on top of that theyre quoting an insane 60 hour battery life, double what any other device is offering

Strangely this news seems to have been very minimally covered, i assume because unless youre into audiophile grade speakers you have probably never heard of Dali (i can tell you first hand they make some of the best speakers out there)

unfortunately the official site hasnt got much info yet:

https://www.dali-speakers.com/headphones/io/dali-io-headphones/

a staffer from Dali told me they are expected to be available mid/late Nov and prices will be around £270 for the io4 and £350 for the io6 putting them in direct competition with the likes of the QC35ii and XM1000mk3

for those interested you can find an early review here:

I tried to submit some data but the MDN format seemed to me to be poorly thought out to me (though maybe I just didn't get it).

If I understood correctly, in order to add any data you need to add data for all browsers. You can't just say "Browsers X,Y,Z support API Foo but Z does't support option B". Instead you have to say "Of all supported browsers A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I do not support foo and X,Y,Z do support foo. For option B A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,X,Y don't know if they support option B. Z does not support option B"

What I was trying to document is bugs but I only know 1 or 2 browsers detail not the other 9 or 12, or how ever many it's up to. I don't really want have to put "I don't know" for a bunch of other browsers.

Further, when a broswer says it supports say "AudioContext" but because of a bug feature X doesn't work in say Safari, I really just want to document that all browsers that claim to support "AudioContext" support all features except Safari was has one exception. I don't want to have to say Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Opera Mini, Android Mobile, "don't know" because by default, if they claim they support "AudioContext" then they should be supporting feature X. So you run into this combinitorial issue that you need people go dig through and prove that each of those other browsers support feature X or you need to mark "unknown", neither of which really represents what you're trying to document.
$8700 for a 30kw/h battery? I suspect you are renting the battery for a monthly fee, common practice with Renault's. Otherwise forget the car just sell the battery on its own.

Because we don’t have any practical alternatives to banks; and when banks fail the people who end up losing the most are not their senior management, investors or even employees but the thousands or even millions of account holders.

With Telcos it’s not that different too; if the large one as in those who actually have infrastructure fail it can lead to a catastrophic cascade failure when you can’t call an ambulance not to mention can’t do business because your phones or internet are down you are screwed.

Telcos are like roads it might seem really easy to set new ones up but if you remove all the existing infrastructure that was setup over a century you end up with a lot of short routes that lead up to nowhere.
Former Apple Store employee here! You would be surprised by how people become blind from all the smokes and mirrors of the Apple branding and advertisement.
I remember one day, there was a 40-something years old man, that came in with an iPhone X and switched it for an XS, adding 500 euros.
Only to return 1 week later to switch the XS for an XR with better storage, adding 250 euros.
Only to return 2 weeks later, to switch the XR for an XSmax adding 400 euros more or less.
This gentleman was so brainwashed into FOMO by Apple that threw 1000+ euros out of the window.
One other time, there was another gentleman that clearly couldn't afford an iPhone X. He was so torn when deciding if to buy or not. I tried to give him hints that it was better if he let go of it ("maybe wait next year, your iPhone 5 is still doing the job"), but no, in the end he decided to go for it and we tried to do a 6 months payment plan. His card got rejected. Then we tried with a 10 months payment plan. Rejected. Then we tried with 20 months one. Finally, accepted. He wasn't even happy about that. Was probably thinking about what he was going to have to renounce for that iPhone. I tell you, the whole process was physically painful.
Rich people as defendants, I'm pretty sure we will see this go the way of no jail time. Lots of suspended sentences, probation, possibly house arrest and fines, all of which are easy for the rich to deal with.
Well said. It's a completely new way of allowing the garbage of society to get together and become a disgusting mass with way more power than they should have. Comparing it to the satanic panic is, I think, being incredibly disingenuous.

> value simply overflowed, nothing negative would have happened.

Except overflow would most likely have caused a significantly more severe outcome than the uncaught exception.

And there is a restriction in GNAT (No_Exception_Propagation) which forces you to deal with any exception immediately, and should be used in any critical software imho.

Maybe Tepco should hire some oceanographers, that we are talking about tidal area is in itself deeply wrong. We had talked here in the past about people discovering that radioactive substances were sticking to the sand and accumulating in some points when nobody (and if somebody not TEPCO), suspected this outcome. If the alternative is spreading it under the rug and by all the beach and coastal area, just keep the damned thing inside a container.

And we are not taking in mind that deliberately contaminating the ocean is typified as a environmental crime in most countries, this radioactive water is lethal to marine organisms but... whatever. They are allowed to do anything they want.
We switched from Trello to Clubhouse 3 years ago - having dabbled with JIRA a few times. We'd outgrown Trello (not enough structure) but didn't want to give up on the speed / ease of moving and updating cards. I wrote about it here: https://medium.com/geckoboard-under-the-hood/why-our-dev-tea.... This seems like a sensible move to grow usage - interested to see how it helps!
The VW ID.3 seems like the first mass market attempt although they are not yet fully committed considering it is a separate "experimental" brand with a weirdo name and not even replacing the mainstream Golf and Polo.

After dieselgate they probably consider this good PR and some contrite expense measure.
I once flipped through Ada spec (purely voluntarily) and in my opinion it was a really well designed language. I generally come to believe that a language should offer fewer fancy programming constructs, but advance in specifications and definitions, and Ada looked like a solid step in that direction (as compared to C, for example). As it was recently pointed out by some other discussion here at HN the idea of software development is to document knowledge, and Ada is pretty good at that. The modern trend is very different, unfortunately.
Monaco Traditions, Culture and Language
1) To be clear I was not intrinsically trying to redirect attention to apolitical leaders, only trying to connect the dots to what Epstein seems to have focussed on, and therefore direct my attention towards apolitical leaders, not intrinsically.

2) Prince Andrew is not elected, princes don't have terms where new princes get rotated every term.

3) The fact that that 2 out of 3 were political leaders only seems to prove my point, and Trump, Clinton (and possibly others) would have been Epstein's "mistakes" from the perspective of the strategy.

(I upvoted your comment, because it adds to my interpretation)
I have massive front pockets, so my XS Max happily fits in there, along with my work iPhone 8, and I don't generally notice when sitting down. It seems weird to me that you'd have non-jeans pants that you _couldn't_ do that with.
I see your point but I don't really see this as a problem.

If you're going to play this game for a significant amount of time, I think it is only fair that you pay it. The question is then if it's worth $70, which I would guess it is.
And that is the big danger: That there might be too many people not understanding what is going on and rely exclusively on (a)social media and that this destroys opportunity for the people who do not submit to FB's outrageous ways of handling personal data. Alone that people think, that anyone who is not on (a)social media, must be a recluse/oldschool/backwards and probably has some problem and is not worth talking to causes so much damage already.

Yes possible they choose something. We have been using it for quite some time. It also server as an example how to build a nice single page progressive web app for the team.

Maybe Uber should focus on fixing their main app first. Driver can't get rides even after being online for hours sometimes. Card payments are being delayed and now I know why they are decreasing bonuses day by day, due to over hiring, because they have to pay over hired engineers a shit amount of money thus decreasing drivers bonuses!

As people mentioned here Rubymine closed the gap, autocomplete works as well as a java ide 95% of the time it's almost a non issue.
Yes for meta programming it won't work as well but A) it's rare B) Rubymine might solve that as well at some point (for example clicking on a meta programmed method will lead you to the method that created the method, with good enough documentation it's all you need).

There are yogis that claim that they can live off air alone, until their grandchildren are caught sneaking them snacks.
That's not really the point, is it?

The point is that the upgraded version ships with less features. I use bluetooth-headphones so I don't care, but I can easily see why this is infuriating to others.
While a useful and entertaining comparison, I feel like a major difference is between "unicorn" languages (languages having only a single implementation and runtime/ecosystem) vs. standardized languages having multiple compilers/implementations such as C and JS (and LISP), though people are throwing JS's advantage of being standardized and one of the must ubiquitous languages around away by choosing not-quite-JS languages such as TS and coffescript before that as the first thing when they're about to start a project).
I think they do have pretty good numbers because the iPhone 5S was still sold even after the 6 was out. So, when the 6S came out they could compare how well the 1 year old 6 fared against a then one year old 5S.

Also they did make the SE. I am pretty sure Apple knows what is most money making strategy.

This being said, they do offer (or will soon) a Mac Pro which clearly is not there to make big bucks. They could (and I would love them to) offer a smaller phone with latest internal specs. They do have bandwidth for that.
That was the case, hence the reference to the "spirit" of net neutrality.

Public facing internet sites, in my opinion, should be treated in same way as public space - anyone should be free to read, and write down in their notepad whatever is there, in the same way as anyone else.

Scraping public facing website in my opinion is huge waste of resources. It would be cheaper(in total) to build an API that can serve the data from it, than to build a good scraper.
They say that history repeats, first time as tragedy and the second time as farce. I think with HK, the situation is reverse. It was farce in 1996 and tragedy today.

Just before the handover, when there was a buzz of discussion around the relationship between Hong Kong and China, one of the common talking points in the West was that legally China may be absorbing HK, but economically HK would absorb China. The party line was that

1. China needed more foreign capital inflows, and so HK would be a model of open capital markets. (see this Rockefeller report:

"One important component of this trade, and a major engine of Chinese economic growth, has been the freer flow of foreign capital into the Chinese economy. Foreign- funded enterprises — the majority of which are supported by overseas Chinese based in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other countries in Southeast Asia — account for more than one-third of Chinese exports." https://www.rbf.org/sites/default/files/attachments/china_co...

2. China would need to democratize more to overcome problems with CCP rule.

3. China's economy was reaching diminishing returns in the current system.

I recommend reading the summaries of that Rockefeller paper, starting on page 4.

HK was so much wealthier and advanced whereas China was considered backwards, and so it was just assumed that China would be copying HK as much as they can.

The reality proved..different. China became an industrial powerhouse (something HK never was) much more dependent on capital outflows than inflows. It increased centralization, reversing Deng's reforms. It did not suffer any diminished capacity to either act internationally (see Belt and Road) or to increase industrialization. There was no devolution, no reform, no democratization, and no financialization or internationalization of the economic decision making process. Even culturally, HK had a movie industry in the 90s that was completely eclipsed by mainland China. Same for fine arts, classical music, everything. There is no area, either cultural or economic, where HK has a leadership role now.

And the position of HK as a crucial financial gateway to China that allowed China to access western capital began to fade, as did the wealth discrepancy between top tier cities in China and HK. At this point, HK's economy is underperforming mainland China and most mainland Chinese don't view it as having any kind of leadership role, either as demonstrating a system to be emulated and admired or even as demonstrating a possible path forward for China, which is deep into nationalism and xenophobia.

So today, given the huge reversal of importance of HK and China, to be bringing out this old line -- it seems crazy.
I don't know if we're in the minority, but I agree. Facebook has just become the defacto shared calendar for me and my friends, so I spend less than a few minutes on it on average a day.

Just checked and I spent 7 minutes on it on Sunday, nothing since, and the most I've used it in a day in the last three weeks is 5 minutes, at least on my phone.

Similar for Twitter but with a peak at 40 minutes a couple weeks ago (how?!). And Reddit I probably use about twice as much, which is still not bad, I don't think. Is it "social media", really?

That's really all I've got, if we're excluding group chats. Those, I use probably an unhealthy amount.
Learning is a social process. It requires more than one person.

What you are doing alone is maybe "silently pondering" but it is just, at best, a tidying up of what you have gained socially.

The kind of thinking we manage to internalise and perform individually is an impoverished kind, and lacks the ability to do a lot for us.

All psychological growth is therapeutic, requiring a therapist (educator, coach, peer, friend, ...) to serve as a foil to push you past the cycles of your current safe state.
Disclaimer: arguably a quant but definitely not this kind.

In this specific case you only need access to Trump his tweets, which you can get without parsing and evaluating the firehose (expensive to get and process).

> In particular, basic NLP and sentiment analysis is pretty easy, especially like in this case when you're dealing with a very limited vocabulary.

Exactly. With Trump's tweets you can probably find easy correlations between sentiment (good or bad) and a select range of words as well as tweet times, whether he is in office or not, whether it was tweeted from his android[1] or not. Statistically speaking you can also look at his overall sentiment. Eg. simply always short the market whenever he tweets might be the profitable move 80% of the time.

"Ride-hailing drivers hailed the bill’s passage." - I wonder how happy they will be when their job simply goes away because of that bill.

It's terribly misguided and anti-freedom.

I think it is a problem if companies like Uber are not honest with their employees, like neglecting to mention that their cars may break down and require maintenance, which should be factored into the income. But that is about honest information sharing, not forced employment.

Nevertheless, people should be free to do contract work and negotiate contracts on their own terms.
There is no good way to do F2P. Developers need to be paid, and it makes sense for someone to buy a game. F2P is trying to get people hooked, and then extract money from them somehow. Because the developers need to be paid.

What can be fair is a shop where you can buy cosmetic items. For me, Guild Wars 2 seems like a fair way to do it. The latest content costs money. Cosmetic items do nothing, but cost money. A few convenience items here and there, but no P2W.
First of all, there isn't such a thing as 'Catalonian ministers', and secondly you can't be seriously saying that any politician can't speak freely in Spain.
The world isn't that simple. A person's reasons for talking about something and their framing and slant/bias deeply affect the trust one can put in what they say. You can avoid outright lies and untruths while still pushing a very specific agenda.

Just as you put more or less trust into what the people in your life say, based on their history, you should put more or less trust into what particular articles say, based on the article writer's history.
Going from a crappy camera to something like on Pixel3a is truly a leap especially when you are looking photos yourself on the screen.

But say you had bought iPhone 8 (same year as Redmi Note 4) and you share pictures to social media; Pictures from iPhone 11 would be indiscernible to those who see your photos at the other end.
The age old solution to this problem continues to work just fine - have jitter-tolerant low frequency scheduler callbacks that schedule events using an accurate clock (sample time) a short way (100ms or so) into the future. That way you get both accurate audio with timely response. Been doing this kind of thing for 20+ years now .. web or noweb.

I use an encapsulated "steller" library to do this with JS on the web. Steller can sync graphics with audio too.

Really wish the joint "get time stamp" function that gives current DOMHiresTimestamp and the synchronized AudioContext currentTime were available on all browsers.

Did you experience dietary changes? Could be increased coffee consumption since you started working, increased alcohol usage, more meat or cheese (hard to digest, could lead to worse sleep).

I hope the 435 people laid off by Uber find the strength, the vibes and the zeal to push forth with life. I hope they don't see this as a setback but as a stepping stone to greater heights.
