From perspective, both they are good smartphone now. But there are no impressive thing convincing me to buy its. In addition, the high price is one of the reasons to prevent me to buy its. If you are using iPhone 7, iPhone 7 plus or previous generation iPhones, it's good upgrade. I'm still wait for next generation iPhone, i guess it's major upgrade in both design and feature from Apple for iPhone .
OK, right.

But increasingly, that's a damn small "Nobody else".
The first three names on that list are respected researchers and group heads who have been deeply involved in the day-to-day research of the lab, which includes mentoring/working with students and doctoral candidates, and dealing with lab sponsors.
I quit social media and posted about it on social media and got a whole bunch of likes and retweets.
Hilariously, software and music are inherently non-scarce. In fact, we do a massive amount of detriment to everyone by not allowing a piece of infinitely replicable media to be instantly available to everyone. And yet despite the fact we could benefit everyone at once we can’t seem to figure out a way to allow creators to live comfortably without inventing arcane and artificial IP laws?
For some reason, people think the cost of buying and selling a security is equal to the explicit commissions and fees, I guess.
That sucks. I’m sorry you have to deal with that shit.

So far, I haven’t run into any “shit, if only I had known that five days ago!” situations. I doubt I ever will, no matter how hostile the current administration is to women. But who knows; you pays your money and you takes your choice.
I don't know if we're in the minority, but I'm completely with you. I use social media for about 15 minutes a day and it only improves my life. I'm happy when I see my friends being happy.

I think people who blame their life problems on social media have deeper underlying issues. Mark Zuckerberg didn't invent envy in 2004.
I use the Sony xperia compact / minis. They are great!
From the article: "I think we're gonna see a lot more of these sort of flexible, affordable, convenient programs."
You want college to be controlled by the free market you have to compete. You can't just keep increasing costs and offering nothing new and not expect consequences.
What service is there to thank Joi for? What did he do in his time at the Media Lab?

This isn't about unpersons, this is about honesty.
Same. I far prefer the fingerprint sensor to Face ID.
The author is playing the /r/mildlyinteresting card. /r/mildlyinteresting succeeded where /r/interesting did not because it tempered the expectations of visitors. People expecting a 10x productivity gain because they quit social media will surely be disappointed.
I type with two thumbs on a phone because I type with two hands on a keyboard. In fact, one hand is tied up on a computer - on a mouse - more often than I can't use one with my phone. It's an acceptable tradeoff.
> They're just so far ahead of the smaller cities I've looked into on so many things - activities, parks and playgrounds, free public pre school, ease of locomotion for kids who aren't old and wealthy enough to drive a car.

My guess is that you're not in Los Angeles.

LAUSD is among the worst-performing school districts out there, and manages to outrank peers only on two metrics - the numbers of worker strikes / walkouts, and the rate of losing students.

Then there's an elementary school student stabbed by a homeless person every now and then http://www.ladowntownnews.com/news/metro-charter-student-att...
I enjoyed reading this. Playing with a problem is such a great way to understand it. The charts are hard to read though - I wish they showed something like absolute error, or at least omitted the initial zero point so the y-axis could be centered around the target.
Wow. Was that really needed?
You did honest work there, which is more than can be said for many people with the Media Lab on their résumé. Don't measure the caliber of your work by the standards of scammers.
I'd wholeheartedly second the Veronica Mars rec. Start with the first series, not the movie. Aside from the dialog and characterization, it has probably the most deft plotting and pacing I've ever seen in a TV show.

For SF noir, the series of books by Frank Chadwick starting with How Dark the World Becomes isn't half bad.
I can't belive that such simple and hugely profitable idea needs such huge staff, which can only screw things up. No wonder these idiots are losing big money!
"I'm not sure what the author here means by withdrawal"

An attention-getting pull quote, I guess. I found the physical symptoms claim hilarious. "non [sic] unlike those seen in individuals quitting opiods"? Ha!

Well, I don't think this quote had the internet in mind, but in hindsight it was pretty prophetic for where we are at right now.
Astronomical Algorithms – Math to Find Things in the Sky
To be fair, people[1] have raised the question of whether bitcoin is manipulated by people who have printed other types of currency without limit, which implies practically nobody understands how bitcoin works.

Fast radio bursts from space have baffled scientists for years
Adding just 10%, to Nat Gas plants, would be 5,000 MW on the Texas grid. Given that wind farms were operating at 1/5th of capacity during this Texas grid events, you would need something like double the current installed wind farm base to be able to deliver 5,000 MW at that 1/5th capacity utilization. It has taken decades to get to the current, rough, 24,000 MW nameplate capacity for Texas to get to where it is.
I started feeling tired all the time despite getting eight to nine hours of sleep a night. I was afraid it might be a thyroid thing but a blood test showed I had low iron. This was not expected as I'm a guy, but the doctor suspected it had something to do with weightlifting. I was put on an iron supplement and started feeling better.

So you might want to visit a doctor and get checked out if you haven't already.

The software in the case of the 737 max performed exactly according to the spec. The problem is that the spec was buggy. The language can't fix a buggy spec.

Note that the bug which caused the Ariane V disaster was written in Ada. And that was caused by the language. If the Ariane V code was written in C and the value simply overflowed, nothing negative would have happened. (The value would be hilariously wrong, but that wouldn't have mattered because the code wasn't necessary during flight. It was an oversight that it was running at all.) However, this is Ada, so it caused an integer overflow exception. Which was uncaught. Which caused the entire system to nope out. Which caused the rocket to blow up.

So there's that to consider.
I would argue you're potentially better informed. Better to be ignorant than know a half truth devoid of context skewed for an agenda and that's what most of politics on social media is anyways.
I use one. I can “hang” the phone between 2 fingers and read with my hand relaxed and not having to grip the phone. I do this on a 5S

Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die sounds really cool...off to order it!
I too am in San Diego. Can confirm: 91X transmits from a tower in Tijuana, MX, and fairly frequently you hear political messaging. It may be propaganda, I don't know: maybe it is, maybe it isn't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

For the American readers: Imagine a political candidate's radio or TV commercial. They usually go like this "[so-and-so] cares about [thing-and-such]. [yadda-yadda], Your right to [thingers] means [blah]. I'm [so-and-so] and I approve this message.". Replace the candidate's name with a political party and you get a sense for what the advertisements are like. Are they "propaganda" or simply "getting the word out" for a political cause? I'm not sure myself....

I agree with ilaksh - it is a "little weird" to be in the U.S., listening to main-stream U.S. music, and to have the only interruption be some political message about Mexico.

If anyone is interested, I can record some and post them -- not to push any agenda one way or the other; just to share.

Edit: Here's a youtube video that I found. This video sounds like a montage of commercials. It's representative of what you'd hear between songs in one single go.

Early days, but this release offers selectable text, right-click context menu provided by the browser.

During development, source code is JavaScript with source maps for debugging the original Dart code from the likes of Chrome DevTools. We also have a production compiler that generates optimized JavaScript when you're ready to deploy.

Which kind of lends credence to the idea that he was against writing, no?
Touché :)

But they are also not being at all clear that it's not a VPN service. They say:

> Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are hidden so it’s harder to track you – Your IP address is like a home address for your computer. One of the reasons why you may want to keep it hidden is to keep advertising networks from tracking your browsing history. Firefox Private Network will mask your IP address providing protection from third party trackers around the web.

Sure, you get to the end of that, and you see "providing protection from third party trackers around the web". But the bullet starts with talk about keeping your IP address hidden. How many will realize that it's not hidden from websites that you visit? Not many, I think. It's a dark pattern deception.
The market is so ripe for somebody to take over the Confluence market. I need a documentation platform that has the WYSIWYG aspects like Confluence, be overall less terrible, and can support global replication. I can’t find anything like it for toughly the same price point.
I checked in the iOS app store and it looks like a recent update split "Private Tunnel" off into a separate app. As I recall, the old versions included advertising for this private tunnel service.

Any open source project without a healthy ecosystem is always at jeopardy. Use something that doesn't require you to question NDA information from some company.
I've genuinely wanted to launch this for myself. For what it's worth my wife has The Skimm and it does a reasonable job of being unbiased and presenting many sides of a story with plenty of context.It's daily but I still think it accomplishes most of what you're probably looking for.
It’s actually a bit surprising as someone working in tech in SF how little I ever hear about the Media Lab. It just doesn’t seem like it’s something tech people here ever talk about, which maybe says something in of itself.
Only profitable if they can ever find a way to make the chat self-driving.
Slave labor built this country.
You linked to an article that takes care to mention that it is specific to New York and presented it as indicative of the entire US. That piece links to a blog post describing cost-per-mile of US rail in general [1]. That post demonstrates that NY is a huge outlier, with only London in a similar league. Our Central Subway here in San Francisco, as much of a mess as it is, has been nearly an order of magnitude cheaper per kilometer to build than the East Side Access in New York has.

The problem of excessive cost for rail, for the most part, is specific to English-speaking countries and Japan, not just the US. Quote: "Observe from the low costs of Italian subways that corruption alone cannot explain high American and British costs. High Japanese costs can be explained by strong property rights protections and a process that favors NIMBYism…"

There was a study that I can't find offhand that led to really interesting conclusions: despite the tendency of everyone to think that their own locale's government is uniquely inefficient, wildly late and over-budget public works projects are the norm everywhere. (Look at the Amsterdam North-South line in that blog post, now 2x over budget, for example.) Public support for most infrastructure megaprojects wouldn't be nearly as high if authorities were better at estimating costs. But that means that, if authorities were better at calculating costs in advance, virtually nothing would be built, including things that everyone now considers essential such as the Interstate Highway System (estimated at $25B over 10 years, actual $114B over 35 years [2]). The tendency of public works projects to be delayed and over-budget seems to be, paradoxically, what allows us to make progress in the first place.

It would have been well over a year ago that I tried OpenVPN.

The app store listing currently shows that they removed the Private Tunnel section and made that into a separate app. The private tunnel is the advertising I was referring to.
There was a video I saw a while ago, but I don't remember where, explaining that modern nuclear designs use passive safety mechanisms, whereas the original (currently in use) designs have active safety mechanisms that require ridiculous amounts of fallback and backup systems that make it much more difficult to guarantee safe operation in the event of an anomaly.

I think it had something to do with there being a salt plug that would melt if things got to hot, at which point everything would drain into a vessel designed to stop the reaction getting out of hand. So the cooling systems have to actively keep operating temperatures in range otherwise the plug melts and it goes into safe mode.

This is in contrast with what you describe where "shut down" is an elaborate process that takes time and correct order of operations in order to occur safely.
That depends. If you are looking for a language that produces more work for the CPU per line of source code, that is definitely not subjective. Programming languages are not hard to learn for anyone that already knows one or more.

Other important metrics no one thinks to measure:

* Quality of compiled assembly or bytecode (it is dead easy to write a shitty compiler that produces stupid assembly or bytecode)

* Runtime performance on tight loops (this is directly tied to cost when running on something like AWS Lambda, and code that performs well means you need to upgrade your hardware less often)

* Lines of code required to achieve a given goal. Less is obviously better, when you understand that more code = more complexity, and that more complexity = higher likelihood of bugs. Also, if there is enough boilerplate code to break these guidelines, then what is that code doing, except slowing development times and slowing execution times?

I can write a method two or more ways and know provably which is faster. No one does this! No one looks for hot spots and tries to optimize them. No one profiles anything if performance is deemed "good" or "not a problem."

There is a lot of CPU time to be saved, a lot of RAM usage and cache optimization that no one does because they believe that their work is above being challenged, even by themselves. This world is insane.

Question: how many of the articles do you read in their entirety? Do you spend 1 or 5 or 20 minutes thinking about the content? I’d like a comparison between, say, a library where you can find a nice book and sit-and-read for a good 2 hours.

I think HN is more of a news aggregator with comments than social media platform. But it has the same problem as anything compared with “crack” and that’s a quick information fix.

I like a lot of the stuff on here too but I often book mark things and don’t necessarily go back to it. Some things yes but mostly no.

As someone with a six month old, there is no thriving. I was a zombie for the 4 months or so, and we’re lucky. Our baby started sleeping through the night at three months.

My sleep has not recovered, and I don’t expect it will for a few years. On the other hand, I’m not going out drinking anymore, or staying out late, so all those hangovers mornings I used to have don’t happen anymore, and I think that just cancels out the sleep deprivation.
Travel status/miles are sort of similar. It’s a basic racket: the airline rewards you for steering your company’s money to them. It seems to be broadly acceptable but I agree looks pretty sketchy when you boil it down to the basics.
And yet, they wrote it anyway, knowing it was stupid.

So, people are continuing the theme of redundant comments initiated by the original.
Nothing magical, but he seems pretty pleased with the results. He's not returning to social media.

This is a horrible idea. I just can't. Why does this service even exist. I seriously hope duo figures out the numbers this site is using and blacklists them.
Biggest asks for me are putting back touch ID (ideally under screen but on back is fine too), headphone jack, removing the notch, installing custom APKs. They have the means to do all of these things, but don't for ideological reasons that only they seem to hold.

Clubhouse is one of the better kanban/agile-ish tools I've used. It's pretty responsible, generally fast, and overall configurable enough for me to be happy.
Forgive the use of "from memory" in my original post. I was on the move and didn't have time to reference the original material in-depth. You're correct. You've given a great explanation of the accident.
Whenever this is brought up, I feel the need to rebuke the insinuation that this accident was explicitly caused by the use of Ada. You are correct in that the accident was the result of an exception caused by an overflow, something that might not have triggered an exception condition in another language. However, I don't think the fact that a language like C might never have realised there's a problem at all to be damning of Ada. No matter what language this was developed in, better formal analysis of the problem domain should have highlighted the possibility that this could occur. Especially considering the different hardware involved.
Upvote mad on this. This is exactly what I have been saying to all of my friends who quitted social media. One of aspects was also the narrow view social media creates for bipolarizing spectrum of one's opinions using extremistic news and probably fakes news.
I don't think you would take any advice from others...
Be a friend of yourself and help yourself as if you are another person.
I would argue against this, especially if you're in specific subreddits, it's usually heavily biased. Even if you're reading articles from /r/worldnews or /r/news, there's usually a general sentiment, and popular opinions that validate those sentiments get upvoted.

I personally can't stand reading the comments, since every comment is either a meme or something irrelevant.
The problem is that the improvement of the first iPhone compared to what came before was like 1/x where x is a very small, close to zero number, while the subsequent releases are like 8/7 or 6/5. And to top it off they cost over $1k, which makes it a hard sell for me.

One of my colleagues lent me a hardcover copy very good explanation I found it a huge help for a recent project I was working on (Sonic vibration sensor).

Clearest explanation of everything I was able to find. Fourier transforms were covered during my engineering degree but it had been some years since I'd needed to concern myself with them. Top google hits were not really helping and I found this textbook was invaluable.

No? It's a meritocracy, with elite gatekeepers. How is it an anarchy?
What do you mean by global replication? Like if I publish something in New York it should be immediately accessible in Tokyo?
That's the funny thing, MWI works perfectly fine without conscious observers. It's predictions match other QM interpretations. The problem comes from introducing ourselves as a conscious observer and trying to understand what it means to be consciously aware of a single outcome.
I think the point is that relying on phone calls and DTMF tones for two factor authentication is trivial to bypass. Anyone can record DTMF tones in a voicemail message and forward calls to that number.
We've been using it for years and love it. Our engineering team went from begrudgingly sometimes doing what they're supposed to in Pivotal to actually _loving_ their project tracker. Never seen anything else like it.

> To start, I have an iOS rule that prevents more than 7 minutes of each social media app per day.

But when you open the app at minute 8, there's a prominent "Ignore Limit" button right there. Are you relying on mere self control? Or do you have some way to actually prevent app usage?

That’d be really cool to have, especially on a haptic keyboard! Unfortunately Apple seems averse to the idea of haptic feedback on a keyboard.

On a similar note, I’ve been disappointed in the removal of 3D Touch. I understand that it adds complexity to the display layer, but replacing 3D Touch with long-presses doesn’t really cut it for me
