The practice spooky23 reports in the thread you cite appears to be blatantly illegal, and the assurance that it was not came from someone who was paid to protect the company; no complaint was made to anyone responsible for enforcing the law.

That's probably the biggest problem with HIPAA, not the law or supporting regs (which have problems, like the one I address upthread), but that most people's first and only complaint of a problem will be to the wrongdoer themselves, not anyone with an interest in enforcing the law. (In Spooky23’s case, there was some effort to go beyond that, but not to an entity actually responsible for enforcing the law in question, or even an agency of the right sovereign entity.)

In any case, while the practices spooky23 raises are, legal or not, a real concern, they in no way justify characterizing my criticism of the specific problems with HIPAA deidentificationn rules as naive in the context of a pre-existing discussion of reidentification of deidentified data (which is a completely different issue than sharing, legally or not, data which is not deidentified as is the issue in spooky23’s case.) Again, it's a real issue, just not a germane one to where it was agressively thrown into the discussion.

How much does it cost to implement and run all the demand matching, how much money does it save the loads who are willing to participate, and how much load can reliably be controlled? The marriage of electrical system reliability to real time control of tens of thousands loads over internet or cellular would be an unholy one. This will limit acceptance as the cost of outages immediately outstrips savings. So I’m back to grids requiring solar and wind to come with energy storage to firm them up. Which is a perfectly fine solution and increasingly viable as the cost per MWH of storage comes down.
I have an SE running iOS 13 beta and it’s great. Some functionally will of course be disabled , but it feels modern.
Not forcing... just having market forces encourage good behavior, instead of hiding the underlying cost pressures from them.

Look at it this way. With enough variation over the day, you create a market for storage. Let's say stored electricity costs twice as much as direct, but the price of direct varies by 3x over the course of the day. You've now created an arbitrage market for buying cheap electricity during the day, and selling it at night.

Of course, the more storage gets built, the more the load (and thus cost) increases during the high-availability times, and the lower the selling price during demand spikes. And thus the market attains equilibrium.

The law of supply and demand is a marvelous thing sometimes.

That is actually the case in many markets - in Russia local city cab companies all have their apps, so you have three-four installed and you're good to go. And Russian Uber (aka Yandex.Taxi) is here as well
I still have 2 Pebbles working perfectly and I will continue to stick with those. I haven't seen much yet that makes me want to replace them. Perhaps I have simple needs but Always On Screen, Notifications (SMS, Email, Calender), Voice Messaging and the Ability to dial calls is all I need a smart watch to do. My Pebbles still do it with 5+ days of battery life. Outside of the bio features some people use I really feel a lot of smart watch features are looking for a problem to solve.
Maybe this is a cultural difference between here (Frankfurt)

Considering all of the luxury retailers I've seen in Frankfurt, and all of the branded soccer jerseys I've seen so many people wearing in Frankfurt, and all of the non-generic everything I've seen in Frankfurt, I think it's disingenuous to frame this as a geographic issue.

Perhaps if you define your geography as whatever seat you currently occupy, your argument holds. But Frankfurt is hardly immune from the concept of conspicuous consumption.
I also charge it while doing my morning routine, though that includes making lunches, some coffee, showering, etc. It can easily last through to the next morning, though occasionally I charge for a bit in the evening just to make the number look better.

I imagine as the battery fades this might be less workable though.

We're using Stencil.js in my company right now, but almost went with litElement(the tech underlying Polymer) instead. I think Ionic's commercial support is what swayed us, although I would personally have been happier (arguably) with litElement.

I think it's viable, absolutely.
This comparison is against Ada's language criteria, not C/C++.

You're well above 100% right with your points, if we weren't looking at the language criteria put forth by Ada.

Honestly, the price increase on both platforms recently has pushed my household (Wife + Me) back to Muni/Driving. Previously, if one of us used ride sharing it was ~$5-8 each way. Now for the same ride we regularly hit $12-20. It was so bad the last week of my wife using them that she paid ~$18-20 each way, when I reminder her that that was $200 for the week just to get to work, she was shocked. At 4 weeks in the month thats a decent Mercedes payment, getting close to insurance+gas locally.
Now we only use it for the occasional night out where we just factor in the expense as entertainment. These services only have a marginal value that is approximately 2-3x public transit. In SF that is Muni at $2.50-$3, so $5-9 one way. Once you cross the $10 and creep into $15-20, you have a problem and the business crashes and burns.
In my twenties I remember working at a bar near chinatown. I would get off and my feet would be killing me. It was only maybe 6-8 blocks up Sutter to get to my old place, but every once in a while I would waste money on a Taxi. I remember it killing me that they started the meter at $3.50 and it would end like $8-10. Always felt like if they just flat rated it at $5 for my 6-8 blocks, I would take it everyday to and from (Uber sort of did just that and I rode it like crazy for a while), but at $10 it was a special treat and the rest of the time I schlepped up Sutter, feet be damned.

For normal people... pretty much nothing. You need power to keep the plasma hot, it's a safety hazard, and it's not cheap. For electrically-small antennas it looks like it might be slightly more efficient than a wire antenna of the same size (or slightly smaller than a wire antenna of the same efficiency) but most of the advantages listed pertain to military applications, and that seems to be who's driving the research.
at least usb 3.0 transfer speed for transferring all those gigabytes of movies because pros won't be editing those on a phone. User would also enjoy faster backups and syncs. Computer vision dev would enjoy streaming video feed realtime with low latency and prototyping algorithm on desktop. One generation of iPad Pro already had usb 3.0 even with lightning connector so I don't see a reason not to get it even if we cannot have usb-c yet in iphones. Even raspberry pi 4 has usb 3.0 - spec that has been realeased in 2010.
I don't understand what Palmer did wrong. When a business fails, we should try to understand why, so that others don't throw away time and money making the same mistakes.

Judging from other responses here I am in the minority, but I like the camera bump design. The triangular geometry makes sense if you want to have all sensors equidistant to a central point. This also may result in some simplifications (or even optimizations) in sensor fusion algorithms. Putting three cameras in a line makes less sense to me.

Hi! I'm one of the product managers at GitLab that will be contributing to the development of requirements management. I don't believe we've decided that it will only be an Ultimate level feature. The label was added to the epic (https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/707) before any conversation had taken place...or even before there were concrete requirements to build requirements management ;)

We do our best to align features with the likely buyer according to our pricing model (https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/ceo/pricing/). Sometimes we don't get it right and need to fix our mistake after a feature is launched based on feedback from our wider community (example: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/13856). We have been and will always be transparent about our pricing model and our mistakes in aligning new features with it.

If you're interested in collaborating with us as we build out requirements management, we would love that. It will help us build the right features for the right likely buyer. Please leave some additional thoughts on the epic discussion if you have them!

> soft-ban children and parenting

Could you elaborate on that? My experience thus far as a parent of small children in one of the 3 metros listed in TFA has only strengthened my resolve to not move to a small city. 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. . .

I'm pretty sure the only thing other places have on us is the square footage of the house. Which, with so much cool stuff to do out in the world, we don't really end up making too much use of the square footage we have, anyway.

We go visit the grandparents in a metro of only half a million people, and by the end of the visit the kids are half crazy from lack of opportunities to get out of the house.
How's the user experience and polish of the OS?
1000 kWh/month? That seems like a buttload to me. I used to live in the US (though I never measured how much I used there) and currently, average between 6-15 KWh/day. I know this because I live in a 3rd world country and must pre-pay for my electricity by going down to the local equivalent of a corner store to add power. And I don't even turn off most of my lights at night.
Yep. I go running routinely with just my Apple Watch and no phone. It's feels much better to not be clutching the phone in one hand. I listen to Podcasts and/or Music and when I get home I even use HomeKit to open my garage door to let me in the house. (That last one works presumably because I pop on the house wifi when I get near)

These points are around language design and implementation; linting is an additional set of tools outside the scope of the language itself.

Whether it should or shouldn't be in production, following Ada's rules it wouldn't be allowed in the code in the first place.
Language models like GPT-2 have fundamental limitations for text generation. They simply model the most likely sequence of words, they don't have a "real understanding" of what they write. They don't have agency (a purpose), can't do explicit reasoning and don't have symbol grounding.

Few people would have thought that we can get this type of quality using just language modeling, so it's unclear how much further we can go before we have to start tackling those fundamental problems.

>This is thrown out all the time. How exactly does this save them?

They know that their days of paying drivers less than a living wage and no benefits are numbered. They have two options: Raise ride prices to pay drivers more, or get rid of drivers altogether. They're betting on the latter. The costs go down dramatically because buying cars is a one-time capital expense, rather than an ongoing cost of doing business. (Yes cars require maintenance but this is still cheaper than paying drivers.)

apartments big enough for a family can easily cost the entire sallary of a middle class person and more, and thats for a 2 bedroom shithole.

I’m not complaining. If anything, I think Apple has actually listened to all the complaints of battery life and reacted in a rather significant way. For example, the SoC discussion today highlighted the extensive work done to race to 0 and how significant that affects the Pro’s battery life. Each generation gets thicker, and in return we’re seeing some of the best battery life ever. These phones will last for years I dont think anyone investing >$700 in these has an issue with that

My Bose earphones can be connected to two devices concurrently. However it can be paired to a multitude more devices but not connected to them. Which means if you have 3 devices turned on (eg laptop, Switch and phone) it might only be connected to the laptop and phone. So you either have to switch the connection via the phone app (which isn't the prettiest nor most intuitive of apps but it's "good enough" for what it is) or turn off one of the devices and the earphones will auto-switch to the next available pared bluetooth device.

I don't think there is a way in the Bose app of setting an order of preference for which devices will take precedence (eg when I pared with my laptop, the laptop would take ownership and stop the phone from playing everytime the laptop was turned on - which was rather annoying to say the least). But it was a while ago when I last checked.

So you don't have to pair an unpair all the time but there are some annoying edge cases. However it's still easier than unplugging and replugging the cable.

One thing I will say in favour of wired earphones is that the wire itself is actually rather nice tool for not actually losing your earphone. The bluetooth earphones I have are connected via a cable between the two ear pieces (which goes round the back of your neck) which means I can take the earphones out to talk to someone and not worry about dropping or losing an earpiece. So often on the London underground I see people dropping an AirPod and then scrambling around a busy escalator trying to pick the damn thing up. I dread to think how many people have lost or broken their AirPods directly because of their form factor. So if you're the clumsy sort or struggle to find earphones which stick in your ear, then you might be better off sticking to wired earphone or buying headphones instead.
> It doesn't really cost anything to open source something though.

Yes, it costs next to nothing to just open source a project if you mean literally just putting the source on some hosting site.

However, open sourcing something properly, where you respond to issues, document things properly, and provide build/test infrastructure to external developers is much more work. Not only that but you have to be much more careful when creating APIs and be much more vigilant about keeping backwards compatibility.

>You're defining "bad things" to suit you. I

Excuse me? 64GB standard storage for a "PRO" labeled $1000 phone that extensively advertises its professional video capacity is not an arbitrary or personal definition of bad. It's objectively inferior to its competition. It's objectively the lowest storage space of any $1000+ phone on the market.

That you would conflate this discussion to think these are arbitrary opinions seems dishonest.

>"Boo changes you don't like, okay, fine. Boo the status quo? That's... odd."

It seems like you accept predatory profit-driven business decisions as "status quo" even when competitors offer far better options. I don't get your definition of "status quo" when it's synonymous "worst in class".

The Galaxy Note 10 at $1000 comes standard with 256GB, an upgrade which makes the iPhone cost $1150.

But sure, "status quo", as long as the current state of the market and state of competition isn't considered...

Most of the Apple Watch complexity is only disclosed if you go out of your way to find it by pressing the crown and going to the home screen. I do think it's a bit much though that Breathe notifications are "important" in that they're on by default.
Here is my plan: Buy old broken iPhone SEs and go to Apple support to get a replacement for whatever their price is. I'll get one for replacing mine (battery issues) and one for myself in the future, in case they really stop manufacturing it. Shame on Apple.
> People say they expect more, but what, exactly?

Agreed. At this point the iPhone is basically a slab of glass. The are not many form factor changes to be made except the further shrinking of bezels and the notch. They could swap the back materials or flatten the sides like the iPhone 4, but that's just change to change.

IMO, +4 hours of batter life on the new Pro is a huge deal. Every person I know carries around portable battery packs and is always stressing over battery life. Adding 4 hours (even if it ends up only being 2 in real world) is a bigger deal than probably even the cameras.

> that have mountains of their own money to burn (rather than investors')

I totally agree with everything you're saying. But I'm going to quibble with your phrasing. Apple's cash reserves belong to the shareholders just as much as Uber's funding rounds.

Too many CEOs operate under the mistaken belief that retained earnings is "play money" in the way that paid-in-capital is not. For investors, retained earnings are subject to the same opportunity cost of capital as funds raised by equity or debt.

Its management's responsibility to deliver returns exceeding the firm's weighted-average cost of capital. If they can't do that, then they should return capital to the shareholders, who can then use it an alternative higher-returning venture.
