Ask HN: We build Neighbor SN, But no one is Interested – Is neighborhood dying?
Hi,

Couple of days ago, We launched network that connects Neighborhood first which would then allow further connecting with people in your Colony, Area, State, Country and Finally Globally as you scroll down in "strict reverse chronological order" based status feed.

The whole social network runs without "Add Friend" button. The time you signup, you automatically become friends with all the people in the world but your feeds are based on your Location (i.e, Landmark, Colony, Area, City, State, Suburb, Country and Global users). No interest based post as this would defy the logic of connecting neighbor first community.

We only launched MVP version of the product at Pincode.app and started asking for review and feedback from various people on social media without first approaching and advertising to specific location - but all of them failed to show Interest on the network.

We wanted to know, we build wrong thing or we lack in Design and Marketing? Your feedback will be helpful

No, while this is sometimes used for private properties/methods, TypeScript never used it. TypeScript's private properties/methods are just compile-time errors, they're still public in the generated code.
Sure, most people are not going to hospital at the suggestion of their Apple watch. However, of those who do go to hospital, nearly all are false positives. This will lead hospital staff to distrust the Apple watch. It may not have that effect on Apple watch owners...
Beats me. How old is your car?
> I'd rather my kid game than go outside even in our middle-class neighborhood. I'd rather have my kid keep in touch with friends via social media than having them all in my kitchen when I'm not home.

What?

You don’t allow your kid to go outside or hang out with friends face to face? You prefer his/her social interactions are all intermediated by a computer network? This seems like a very strange and dystopian preference.

Do you actually have a kid or is this hypothetical?
True, I don't remember if the backup software was running. However we lost tapes in the cartridge in the drive (7 tapes I think) and also tapes in other cartridges (banks of 7).

I think we had 4 cartridges of 7, then upgraded to a newer robot that had 8 cartridges of 11.

At the time I was pretty shocked, and asked around and apparently it wasn't a particularly unusual event. Fortunately we always kept a cartridge rotated out to a different room.
With regard to elevators on Shabbat, you have to understand what the prohibition is in order to understand the workaround. There is no prohibition towards using elevators on Shabbat, not is there a prohibition towards going from floor to floor quickly. However, there is a prohibit towards pressing normal electrical buttons. Therefore, using an elevator that is programmed to stop on every floor is not dishonest. It avoids the narrow prohibition of pressing normal electric buttons.
It's nonsense. This website, and this author in particular, are very low quality. A couple weeks ago spun a meeting between China FM and Iran FM as some massive 25 year oil development/marketing deal with China. All unsourced. And almost all of it unsubstantiated by anyone except vague anonymous sources. Wrapped around a kernel of truth (the Iranian and Chinese FM did meet the preceeding week).

Regarding his accusations that hedge funds knew Iran would attack Saudi that weekend.... zzzz 1st there are few commod-specific hedge funds left, 2nd macro funds currently hate oil if anything, and don't have big positioning in either case (see CFTC data), 3rd any oil specialist that is long was/is long because our markets are very tight currently -- crude oil markets are strongly backwardated (implying urgency to acquire spot barrels) and refining margins are large globally. The Iran attacks were a (fleeting) side benefit and are very nearly lower than they were before the attacks now.

Reading this sort of garbage on oil markets always reminds me the Gell-Mann effect must be real and I should quit reading news in other domains, because it's probably as crap.
That is unfortunate. I wonder how long has this been the case.
An interesting take but I think, even factoring in police brutality, it is still the morally correct choice to call 911.

>There have been multiple cases now where (American, obviously) Law Enforcement have brutalized and injured people experiencing diabetic shock.

Given the odds, there are likely far more cases of people being seriously injured or even killed from diabetic shock that do not pop up on the public perception radar because they are not attached to a social spectacle.

>And what if the fall and unconsciousness is the result of illicit drug use? Surely the wearer doesn't want a call to 911 to be the default behavior in that case.

I don't know if that's your (our?) call to make. Whether a drug abuser wants to die from their drug abuse is, I think, a deeply personal choice. Unless they have a DNR (which they can get if they are so inclined), I think the right choice is to try to intervene and get them to survive before throwing the book at them.

FWIW, there are many laws centered around "forgiving" people involved in incidents like this to increase the response/survival rate. For example, I live in a college town and if you report someone (underage even) overdosing on alcohol or any other illicit drug, the police are instructed to not pursue a criminal case against the overdoser or anyone who reports the incident (even if they themselves are breaking the law). The point being that anyone who finds themselves in situations like this will hesitate to call for help, and laws like these increase the odds that people in trouble get the help they need in time.

>Does Apple act with greater discretion in jurisdictions where law enforcement are known to be criminally brutal or corrupt? I suspect that the answer is "no."

Two things here. First, I don't know what "greater discretion" would imply here - they wait longer before calling, or adjust the threshold of what constitutes a fall? Second, "jurisdictions where law enforcement are known to be criminally brutal or corrupt" is a deeply subjective topic, probably one which Apple rightfully should have zero cards in. I also fear that you will find that districts that engage in brutality also happen to have a large minority population (since you state white people are not affected by police brutality at the same rate that minorities are), and this will further reduce the usefulness of this feature for those people.

>Since people of color experience a greater proportion of negative outcomes from law enforcement contact, I surmise this feature is far more useful for white people.

While you make a good point with conditions like diabetic shock and presumably seizures, I think this feature was generally meant for people who have lost consciousness (as the subject in the article did). I think even the most egregiously corrupt police force in the country would still call in an ambulance for a guy who has passed out rather than proceed to taze him or something.

This is not the case with the Apple Watch - your Health data lives and dies on your phone unless you back it up or choose to share it with other apps.
Yeah, but Montana is, well, Montana. I'm in North Dakota and we have some really scary driving weather including the ice rink known as I-94 near Fargo. But, Montana has such a variety of driving conditions including mountain passes from heck, and a tradition of driving a bit fast to make life difficult for any automated system.
Something wonky is going on. I just get this text-only error message:

This is somewhat anecdotal but the company I work for makes and publishes puzzle games, match three and hidden object games for the mobile space, which are by and large marketed towards women. However, large, AAA console and PC titles look to be marketed towards men. Now, there is A LOT of money put into these games and we run fairly comprehensive marketing campaigns, but rarely televised (though I think we ran one on The Bachelor with small returns which did not warrant the cost). So it isn't that we don't make women aware of the product but we have to follow nontraditional avenues of advertisement to reach them and mobile phones seem to be the preferred gaming platform for women, statistically speaking. At least as far as what I've seen from my company's data.

Emergency SOS should work in any country, as long as you have your iPhone nearby or you have a Cellular-enabled watch.

Your second link is specific to international roaming with the cellular-enabled watch, which gets complicated for various reasons (do you need an active SIM, does the modem on the watch support bands used in that country).

I saw an interesting video last year where they used toddlers young enough to have no visible gender and they got in babysitters to help the toddlers play with toys. They gave the toddlers random gendered names and clothes. They then asked the babysitters what they think the kids's favorite toys were.

In almost every test the babysitter handed the kids the toys associated with the gender they thought the kid was from the name and not what the kids actual gender was. They then went to comment that the perceived genders toys were the kids favorite.

Yes but async/await is for concurrency, not parallelism. Only one or the other "coroutine" will run at any time so what is the lock protecting? There's no way for multiple branches of code to access the same variable at the same time in JS. What else would a reader/writer lock be used for?
This makes little sense. You’re imposing your sense of morality on an entity that is not beholden to the public good of mankind. If you want that that kind of service for everyone for betterment reasons, then demand your legislators to have the government invest in such a technology and have them distribute it. If Apple wants to do something for more reasons, that’s their prerogative. It’s no different than demanding that drug companies relinquish all patents on life saving drugs so that availability is greater and the product is cheaper while being dismissive of the development costs and efforts to get there.
It is theoretically possible now, with clunky technology that is not wrist-worn.

Except - as noted in article - none of the people involved are trained investigators, the starting position it to believe accusers (instead of being impartial), the accused are not allowed legal representation, and they're often under a tribunal-imposed gag order.

> If Apple Watch hadn’t been an immediate success, I’d like to think they’d still be pushing hard to make it so.

Apple Watch wasn't an immediate success - at least not in the form we see it today. WatchOS 1.0 was dramatically different from what we have today, with much less focus on health and more focus on 'connecting you with people' and stuff.

Apple kept working at it, paring out the stuff that wasn't useful (the side button was originally dedicated to a list of contacts to send messages to for example), and doubled down on the stuff that was (health). Clearly it has worked...
You write this boilerplate to avoid one extra non-cached HTTP call on a (browser?) client? Am I understanding correctly?

Within the context of the argument you are making, this is disingenuous. There's a big pile of transistors which determine whether it is safe to reorder those instructions.

One thing which I would need to switch from CoreOS to Talos is GPU drivers. My current setup uses the NVIDIA driver containers:

https://hub.docker.com/r/nvidia/driver

I build slightly customized images using a process derived from the one in the NVIDIA repo:

https://gitlab.com/nvidia/container-images/driver/blob/maste...
https://gitlab.com/nvidia/container-images/driver/blob/maste...

The automation here is predicated on CoreOS distributing matching { kernel, headers, toolchain } artifacts for each release, and in particular how specific OS releases get promoted from the alpha -> beta -> stable channels without modification. This lets me build new drivers automatically for each alpha release, validate the drivers on the beta channel, and have no surprises on the stable channel. Does Talos intend to do something similar?
Good advice, but one question. Is there a list or consistent way to reach out to various investors easily?

It would be ridiculous to have every school policy passed by state and local legislation. That power is delegated to academic reagents.

Because it's not a law, it can't be ruled on in court.

Because it can't be ruled on, they use this form of arbitration to solve what would be a civil matter if the school was a private entity.

Its not nearly as unreasonable as you make it seem.

I can't see anything about this particular vehicle that would make it any more suitable to sell via subscription than any other EV (or indeed ICE). Wouldn't there be a greater chance of success if they focussed on one or the other: being a subscription car service OR an (electric) car maker?
It alarms (rather loudly for a tiny watch) and taps you vigorously asking if you're ok before calling. You have plenty of time to cancel the call to emergency services before it's made.
ZeroTier is fantastic software. I'm often surprised I don't hear about it more. Its great to hear they are embracing Go; that might make it more accessible for me to hack on. SDN has come a long way...
I worked with Prashanth at Barclays. He was principled, energetic, had a great attitude, low on ego and worked his ass off. I personally feel SO stagnated a bit over the past few years. I don’t think this would be an easy job for anyone but I genuinely believe he has the potential to bring back the right kind of creative energy and enthusiasm into the products. I wish him the best of luck.
IMO one of the worst parts about LTO is that it's another one of those formats with "open" in its name, but you can't just download a PDF of the standard or even buy it from something like ISO/IEC. There's some convoluted licensing process involved. Only the first generation was actually open, but I guess they decided to close it after that:

I don't understand why people believe that the "year of the maker FPGA" is ever going to happen. An FPGA is by its very nature a technology that many embedded engineers (let alone hobbyist maker types) will never take advantage of in earnest. I'd imagine that if you're developing hardware that requires an FPGA, odds are high that you don't need or want an Arduino bolt-on.

To be fair, mobile development is a few years behind laptop development, and it makes sense that it would plateau later (thought with the current generation of smartphones we may be reaching that plateau).

A 2011 MacBook Pro 13" is comparable to your X220 (dual core i7 available, 8GB supported RAM, Intel HD 3000 graphics) and while it does fall off the supported list for macOS Catalina (mid-2012 MBP is the earliest supported) there's no reason to expect it wouldn't run Windows or Ubuntu comparably to the X220.

When comparing (tablet) apples to (tablet) apples, I wonder if any of the tablets mentioned here are still supported in 2019 like your iPad mini 2 was? https://www.zdnet.com/pictures/best-android-tablets-septembe... It's a genuine question as I'm not that familiar with the Android ecosystem.
Fall detection on Apple Watch doesn’t just dial emergency services like Emergency SOS does, they could hear you mowing your lawn and probably assumed you called by mistake (it happens).

When fall detection activates a 60 second timer starts and the watch vibrates like mad trying to get your attention, if you do not dismiss the alert not only does it dial emergency services and text your location to registered emergency contacts, it actually starts speaking to the operator stating that you have fallen as well as providing your GPS coordinates.

The assumption is that you manually activating emergency SOS implies you are alert enough to speak with the operator, but somebody unresponsive after a fall needs the device to ensure they get assistance even though they are incapacitated.

Consider that to detect falls reliably, you might need an accelerometer with a higher range than that was in the original watch.

> Me too, though it was probably an SMS, not a call. US emergency services accept text messages.

Point of clarification - US Emergency services can accept text messages. Currently it's only available in certain areas, and it's up to each local ESD/911 call center to implement it if they choose.

And yes - the apple watch does call 911.
Freakanomics does the same thing - argue a contrarian point. This includes the famous study about whether increase abortions reduce crime.

And before anyone replies about how horrible this study was, the author explicitly said that public policy should not be based on his study and advocated more spending on education and other safety net ideas.
