It still seems to be mostly marketed at boys.
Looking at the itunes store page, first item is a video with running, shooting, fighting, racing cars and burning armors. Second photo a mosaic, third fighting armors, fourth a robotic cowboy, fifth ninja like armors.

Apple marketing machine in action: get local press to write up as a novelty feature that main competitor has had for ages.
Too bad they did not get a chance to start WeInsure and subsidize medical insurance for a lot of people.
>That prescription opioids are significantly reduced, yet the death rate continues to climb indicates the focus on the current solution is in the wrong place.

False. There has only been a minor reduction in sales. https://www.fda.gov/media/111695/download

Also, it just means those easy pain pill scripts are drying up, and people are turning to black market alternatives. It's cheaper and easier to import fentanyl from PRC and press it. Also leads to dosing errors (overwhelming cause of deaths).
> This solves one problem and introduces about ten other massive issues with underrepresented populations, protected classes, and stalking.

I think the author already considered this. From the article:

"An account on a public media platform would be tied to a real-world, local identity, like a driver’s license or library card. Anonymity online has real benefits, and a user name doesn’t have to be your real name. The public social media network could keep this information hashed, unscrambled only when action against a user is required, which would make it easier to crack down on fake and troll accounts."
Labor unions are the reason why we have paid time off and 40 hour work weeks in the US. Unions in the US have a lot more negative press compared to other unions in the developed world. Big business has spent decades convincing Americans that unions are bad because for large corporations, they can make more money by reducing benefits and pay for their workers.

I would say in general, unions in Europe are viewed in a much more positive light. Collective bargaining allows for workers from blue collar to white collar work receive their fair share from the company.

I would try reading more about the labor movement in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_history_of_the_United_St...

Please try and broaden your views. HN is an anti union echo chamber for the most part.
I also really appreciated your lessons learned — pretty compelling. The showcase buckets on the site are awesome. What's the mechanism by which the public data ends up in S3, just out of curiosity?

Specially when oil prices are relatively low. If you're playing poker and can't see who the chump is, that means you are the chump.
Hate to dry off the blanket but they just forgot the `new` keyword for `this` ;)

var $ = new (function() { this.version = '1.2.3'; })();
console.log($.version); // '1.2.3'

EDIT:
Or if you really want to abuse the spec

var $ = (function() { if (!(this instanceof arguments.callee)) return new arguments.callee(); this.version = '1.2.3' })();
console.log($.version); // '1.2.3'
The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

^^ this part is what piques me because we are finally combining our knowledge from disparate fields and the indicators are truly that it's much more insidious than anyone can possibly imagine so the red pill blue pill moment is upon us as a humanity
Impossible due to how async is implemented (as generators).
> Don't use sand charts kids.

And what would you use as an alternative? It would take a LOT of bars to display this information during the 90s as a grouped bar chart.
This is largely the filter I use. Banning plastic straws (for instance) does very little to solve the overall problem—the majority of the plastic in the oceans is commercial fishing nets—and does actually have significant negative impacts on some people with particular kinds of disabilities. Using less water, eating vegan, all the individual-level things you can do are not worthless, but they are vastly overshadowed by the harm done by large corporations with an overdeveloped interest in profit and underdeveloped scruples.

There are certain individual-level measures that, if our whole society decided to adopt them, would be beneficial, and others that are beneficial (at least long-term) to the individuals who can adopt them, and also have small positive effects for the environment. Rooftop solar is, for many, in the latter category. I believe my parents expect theirs to have fully paid for its installation (3-4 years ago) within the next year or two, and get several more years of useful life out of it, despite living in the US Northeast (winters aren't nearly as detrimental to their effect as is often suggested).
I don't think it's in any way a coincidence, that the third screenshot on the freedos page is that exact POS software.

Hijacking this spot to highlight newrelic as a company I used to evangelize and now will go out of my way to recommend against (I consult startups as a virtual CTO). They used to have a brilliant offering (Application level monitoring with all associated hosts included) then they deprecated the host monitoring and jacked the price up on every one of my clients while simultaneously threatening them to collect based on the new plans. Every month was a new account rep reaching out to introduce themselves. My love affair ended when a message to the CMO resulted in them forcing the account into free tier without so much as a reply - basically what I'd expect from someone who designed such an org. Moved all the remaining clients off of it (5 digit MRR) to datadog and didn't look back. Later worked with a former engineer and he attested it was a shit show after they set their sights on an IPO. They had really really strong tech and product culture up until then.

Was kind of a death rattle for me and sure enough after they IPOd they really did nothing.

Still makes me angry when I think of it cause it was such a kick-ass product.

Rust async is just syntax: there is no event loop built into the language.
CNG for consumer vehicles is really inconvenient. CNG tanks take a lot more volume than gasoline tanks, tanks are supposed to be inspected every 3 years, and they expire 20-30 years after manufacture (and the tanks may have been manufactured much earlier than your vehicle). Some fuel stations (notably, PG&E's) require proof of recent inspection. And, replacing the tanks when they expire isn't economically feasible, leaving you with a lump of coal.

Non-obviously, only about half of the price of filling up is for the natural gas, the other half is electricity cost to compress it to pressures way beyond the pipeline pressure. This makes home based filling impractical, and CNG filling stations are fairly sparse.

Source: In 2017, I _really_ wanted to get a CNG Crown Vic/Town Car for HOV access, part of which was planning for a purchase in Los Angeles and driving to the Bay Area, refueling on the way; with the limited range, and without access to PG&E stations, I'd need to go up the coast, because I wouldn't make it on the 5.
I would be surprised if the courts would uphold an equivalence between broadcast television and a social network. I would expect them to interpret speech on a public social network like speech in a town square.

At the risk of being too self promotional.. you’re describing what we’ve done at Make School. An accredited 4 year bachelors condensed into 2 years of intense study, primary focus is project-based CS but we have a robust general education component as well.

As another commenter points out, the prototypical 4 year degree (which many in the US actually complete in 4-6 years) is a fairly American phenomenon. There’s plenty of precedent elsewhere for college as 2-3 years of rigorous study.
The key is to look at evidence. Ignore drive by commenters who make a negative post with nothing to back it up.

Theranos and WeWork are two great examples of companies hated by HN because there's evidence supporting negative opinions.
No. You have to really take a hit -- and you have to fail to cancel the 60 second (very loud and annoying) countdown, too.
JS async is implemented as generators as well AFAIK
WeWork already serves a big number of multi-location tenants (we are one) which I think will continue to grow and be the vast majority of of its businesses. Huge advantage.
In the case of Chrome it's because some of the sandboxing can't be done by a regular user.

Same with both Linux and windows.

Bit of a design flaw with the OS - in all cases a process should be allowed to restrict itself to have fewer permissions and access to fewer API's without being root, but sadly that isn't universally the case.
>all of the typical things like guns and heavy machinery that men are well known to like more than women

Okay, so either men liking guns, heavy machinery, and videogames more than women comes from a inherent, biological difference between men and women, or it all comes from a huge, complex social construct that has been cultivated and dominant for centuries. Which one is it, then?
It also considers your cardiac rhythm so I would think they trained their model to consider it.
Also, I believe TypeScript uses these to transpile classes with public and private properties/methods (can't verify that's still case atm).

It's a really neat pattern imo, I remember it fondly from my JS heavy days :)
I know your title is from the title of the article, but it's pretty misleading.

Just to clear things up, it seems like the bug grants the "Full Access" permission to 3rd party keyboards which allows them to make network requests (phone home) based on what you are typing while you have that specific keyboard opened. It doesn't grant the keyboards full access to anything on your iPhone, which is what the title makes it sound like.

Right, they aren't the same. The '87 black friday crash made a big impact on the investment community, but it wasn't a recession.

The commonly used U.S. definition is the one from NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research):

"A recession is a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales."

Here's a list of past recessions: https://www.nber.org/cycles.html

The column-family databases mentioned (Cassandra, HBase) are both just fancy key-value stores that add semantics for separate tables and cell-level data so you're not rolling it yourself.

> Employees will have an option to see a health provider via a mobile app or website, and they can text a nurse on any health topic in minutes. If an employee needs follow-up care, Amazon Care can arrange for a nurse to pay a visit at home.

Have fun trying to get hold of an actual doctor. I understand that nurses are more than capable of handling lots of issues, but I doubt Amazon will publish a breakdown of the doctor:nurse ratio for this initiative.
That's a nice justification. But it doesn't really have much affect on your salary. It's simply that there is a lot of demand for software engineers of a certain skill level and not a ton of supply.

The moment your same exact job can be replaced by a worker willing to do it for less is the moment salaries start to fall.

Sept 23: "China Boosts Government Presence at Alibaba, Private Giants"

"The government of one of China’s top technology hubs is dispatching officials to 100 local corporations including e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., the latest effort to exert greater influence over the country’s massive private sector."

“They might be checking whether the Communist party units are working effectively within the companies,” said Paul Gillis, a professor at Peking University’s Guanghua School of Management. “While China legitimized capitalism, the level of government influence was never intended to disappear. Occasionally private entrepreneurs forget about this and are reminded of it.”

I think JS devs usually use async/await for network calls and not really for computation or file access. Those type of applications are better served by other languages.

That's what the "C" in TCF stands for. Consent management platforms are an entire new sub-industry in adtech for displaying, gathering, and managing user consent for vendors.

First we have a security issue in iOS 13.0 — a lock screen bypass vulnerability which isn’t easy to exploit — that should’ve been fixed before mass release. But Apple wanted iOS 13 to be out for all iOS users for the launch of the new iPhones 11. So we get iOS 13.1 in a week (Sep 24) from iOS 13.0.

Now we find that a much more severe issue with unexpectedly granting third party keyboards Full Access is yet to be fixed. Shouldn’t this issue take higher priority (not implying that the same teams work on all security issues)? This seems like a betrayal of trust. Nobody would expect a third party keyboard to get Full Access and transmit all keystrokes over the network unless they granted that permission.

Is Apple now planning to release iOS 13.1.1 or iOS 13.2 by September 30 with the fix for this and some more fixes for stability?

It seems like the beta testing cycle still going on for iOS 13.0.

Apple has focused on better performance over the last two years and shown good results (older devices don’t slow down as much with newer iOS releases as in the distant past), but stability and security both seem to have taken a hit within Apple’s technical abilities and processes, as is evident from the revelations, from Google’s Project Zero and others, in the last few months or so.
What's your solution non-profits, how well are those working for you now? If anything the utter bureaucracy and malfeasance under guise of charity has destroyed countless American lives with bizarre practices such as surprise billing, preferential rates. If anything there is a need for vertical integration in healthcare, to save it from disaster that is pharma/insurance/hospitals.

Healthcare is as toxic as Taxi industry pre Uber and if it takes Amazon or Apple similar what Uber/Lyft did to destroy the current state so be it. it will still be a net positive.

Blink is by far the best ssh/mosh app I have found. mosh is a gamechanger if you use mobile data and the interface of the app is the best implementation of a shell I came across so far. If you haven't tried it yet it's worth looking at. Steep price tag but justified by how much you use it.
If Harvard's "best interest" isn't fairness but rather perpetuating Harvard as an institution for the maximum amount of time into the future, then its admissions behavior makes sense. Colleges and Universities are institutions (like private companies) and (like private companies) it is very difficult to get them to engage in behavior that they perceive may shorten their own lifetimes.

Put differently, the main goal of an institution is survival. Profit (or a huge endowment, or close connections to the wealthy or those in power) is the primary factor in ensuring survival, and institutions know it.

Harvard has been focused on power over ethics for...well, I'm not sure, but certainly over a hundred years. As much as I would like to believe that admitting better-qualified candidates over "better-connected" candidates (heavy quotes here) will be better for their survival in the long run, I wouldn't put money on it. And, it turns out, neither would Harvard.
In general, a data publisher simply creates an S3 bucket in their account and sets the access control to allow public read. In the specific case of the AWS Registry of Open Data, data providers create a clean AWS account to hold the data (the account will have only S3 and won't run any compute services). Once the dataset is accepted into RODA, AWS will cover the costs (S3 storage and egress bandwidth) for the clean account.
