It's not like they don't already have health data. Google Fit exists and plenty of people use it - Any android wear devices, but also plenty of third-party devices feed into Google Fit. Any data they'll be able to get from Fitbit they can already get from Google Fit - acquiring Fitbit will just mean they'll have that same data for a whole bunch more people.

What they currently do with the fitness data they collect is probably a pretty good guidepost for what they'll continue to do with fitness data they collect.

> I don't want a private owned platform that as far as today plays a huge role in being a place for the public discourse to regulate speech.

They aren't anymore influential than news broadcasters for television were two generations ago. And yet, we managed to create satisfactory regulations for broadcast networks that did nothing to impede free speech.

I think we have a choice: regulate them such that a bare minimum of due diligence is required to post political ads; or let the problem persist until someone else "solves" the problem for us. Enemies of the USA are using Facebook as a weapon to undermine our country. There's no longer a doubt in my mind that, left unchecked, a persistent, well-orchestrated propaganda campaign (through Facebook) have Americans embracing a truly authoritarian regime. At which point, we won't need to worry about free speech anymore.

Maybe its selection bias, but I know a whole lot people who were radicalized by FB.
That’s interesting. So RSS didn’t stick because it didn’t allow advertisers to harvest email addresses.

Which is stupid because you still can’t reach to your audience if you just buy harvested addresses, so if it’s just people who subscribed to your newsletter, you’re just better off letting them subscribe to your RSS. Perhaps the quantifiability of newsletters vs RSS makes email win. If only RSS had embedded ways to count views and see what users looked at.
A more correct word for converting code from one programming language into another is "transpile".
Interestingly a lot of the speculation - at least today - is actually a bet on disaster. Many wealthy individuals and institutions are buying Bitcoin as a hedge against currency collapse. It's not so much that they think Bitcoin will be worth more in the future: it's that they believe the U.S. dollar and all other financial assets will be worth less. (Or in some cases, it's just part of a hedge: the rest of the hedge fund's portfolio will increase in value under any situation other than collapse of the economy, while Bitcoin will massively increase in value if there's a collapse. There's value in uncorrelated returns.)

Fear is often a lot stickier than greed as an emotion. If you believe you're going to get rich quick and it doesn't happen, you reevaluate your choices. If you believe you're insuring against becoming poor and it doesn't happen, well clearly your insurance worked.

When implemented properly, the main use case for me is to resist censorship.
>> Yes, it's not like this is a problem that hasn't been dealt with in other media.

And it was dealt with poorly. My whole life, minorities (persons of color esp) have been scapegoated in elections in ads on TV, etc. So, yes, political ad censorship has been dealt with by media, and the "deal" was that victims would be minorities.

In a sense, Facebook just makes it fair. Now anyone can criticize anyone, everyone gets to suffer equally. Those who don't like it should have spoken up decades earlier.

I'm posing anon for obvious reasons. My hope: Lets let Facebook win this round, so we as a society come up with decency rules that help all of us, rather than just defending protected groups.
it is good practice to keep emissions equipment in place. this way you can avoid paying to replace your cats if you have to move to a state that tests/inspects. it also reduces the amount of air and noise pollution that people in your community experience.
If cars are driving in bike lanes then it's not very good bike infrastructure. The best bike & pedestrian infrastructure is isolated from auto infrastructure as much as possible. Drivers take up every possible piece of real estate available and steal space from adjoining infrastructure when they can get away with it.
That's because the driver believes the cyclist is going much slower than they actually are, but this can be mitigated by taking the lane when approaching an intersection such that the driver of the faster vehicle will make the turn from the same lane the cyclist is in.

But there's another scenario where a cyclist is passing traffic on the right and then gets right-hooked by a vehicle making a right turn.

It's not just a "company". Someone has to decide who's in charge of which IP addresses. IANA is the overarching authority; they then delegates large swaths of IP addresses to regional organizations. RIPE is in charge of Europe.

It would be more accurate to say one continent has run out of IPv4 addresses, but even that isn't entirely accurate. As IPv4 addresses have become scarcer and scarcer, it's become common for companies to obtain IP addresses from registries other than the one that handles their region.

In other words: RIPE is in charge of assigning IP addresses. They're running out of IPv4 addresses to assign to other organizations. That's different from a single company running out of IPv4 addresses, which just means they need to buy more addresses (or find an alternative solution).

I imagine they're also interested simply as a defensive move: if they don't buy fitbit, maybe samsung or apple does.

I think consumers agreed. The company just seems to have been vastly mismanaged. I find it amazing that nobody is just copying it. Hell, Fitbit could sell exactly that model and have a winner on their hands (the Versa contains some insane mistakes).
Why can't we just have block-chain based voting where the vote is secret, but you get a paper receipt, and you can run open-source code (like scan a QR code) to check the blockchain if your vote was counted the way you expected. Everything is immutable, and cryptographically verified.

Block-chain seems to be a failure for money so far, but voting seems like the killer application. The technology is there, well understood, there are even companies that offer a solution along those lines. Why don't we use them? Isn't it so much better than electronic voting machines in every way?

the number of fitbit owners <<< number of google identities (for search traffic)

and

data and location from fitbit owners < what they can already get from the andriod phone.

I get the point you are making, I am not denying there is value, but it is a stretch that it is all about data.

In fact, I have heard about companies who had ties with Fitbit to sell location data to third parties. I would much rather have Google be that arbitrator.

I don't work for Google or Fitbit.
As a pedestrian in SF, I'm _always_ keeping my eyes peeled for bullshit like this, esp. when I'm standing on the corner like that other fella was (he could easily have been taken out instead). It just takes one idiot to ruin your day / life. I usually try to keep at least one somewhat substantial object (post / utility box) between me and the road.. but otherwise I'm keeping an eye out for an errant turn or red-light runner in case I need to book it.

Another thing I'd like to see are narrower roads along with wider sidewalks.. hopefully that would somewhat help deter speeding like in the above video.
This literally makes no sense, and it wrong even by your own math.

Person A is now at -100k: Agreed

Person B is now at 100k: Agreed

Person A is now at +1 years: If you are valuing 1 year at 100k, then no - they are at zero years. They put in $100K over 1 year, so the two cancel each other out.

Person B is now at -1 years: Again, they have been paid at the rate of $100K for 1 year, so they are at zero years.

Again - I reject this "losing a year" thing. The investor hasn't gained a year at all - you can't lose or gain time. But if you value 1 year at 100K then they have paid for 1 year, but that means they have by-passed other opportunities.

If they invest $100K in 2019 and the company goes bust in 2020 how have they gained a year?

But even ignoring that (!!) your math doesn't work.
The popular vote difference between candidates sometimes comes within 0-2 million votes. LA County has 10 million people, and there are over 40 other counties that have more than 1 million people. If elections are decided by popular vote, then just LA County alone, or a combination of the others, could artificially add or flip enough votes to overcome that 0-2 million vote difference.

The internet can continue operating and growing without IPv6; it just won't be pretty. More and more endpoints will have to share a single IPv4 address; that's possible, but it can cause a variety of problems. I'm not really qualified to assess their severity on such large scales, but similar scenarios are known for being problematic at small scales.

It might seem like it makes more sense to switch to IPv6 than to deal with the issues of IPv4, but the entities that have to deal with problems that result from IPv4 depletion usually aren't the same entities impeding the adoption of IPv6.
There are no examples.
Complete opposite experience for me, it almost felt like they paired too easily.

> This doesn’t do anything when cars decide to park in your bike lane anyways

When there's a stopped vehicle in the lane you're in, you can simply check for traffic in the next lane and switch lanes.

> your bike lane has maybe a foot clearance to traffic in the other side.

You're not restricted to the bike lane if there's an obstruction.

> that cars are so much more important than bikes that it’s not car drivers who should check the road when opening their door

No one is saying that they shouldn't check before opening their door, but I am saying that you can eliminate the risk of being doored if you ride far enough away from parked vehicles. It's far easier to take responsibility for your own safety than to rely on others to do it for you.

> but bikers who should lose the 6 feet of street space near parked cars which is the only semi-safe place for bikes in New York

Riding in the door zone is not safe, period. It's safer to just ride in the general purpose traffic lane far enough away from parked vehicles. There's a reason why drivers of motor vehicles don't typically drive in the door zone.
> I guess moral only exists for things which were a problem for a long time.

If we eliminate homicides in the world, our morals wont change about killing another person. Eliminating the problem or how long it’s been a problem has nothing to do with morality.

Kenyatta: Interesting name whose origin (by Wikipedia) is skewed. It mentions individuals born in 21st century and completely ignores the 1st person to literally hold that name: Kenya’s first president, Jomo Kenyatta, born in early 1890's. It wasn't a traditional African name, but he bestowed it upon himself in his early 20's. Among the Maasai community, it referred to a traditional belt and Jomo, whilst living amongst the Maasai always had such a belt. The name fascinated him and he adopted it, altering the spelling to include 'Kenya' since he'd political ambitions
At the risk of turning an innocent topic into a political discussion, I wonder how much of this trend can be explained by societal privilege. Ie, parents (consciously or subconsciously) want their daughters to benefit from appearing male (at least on paper) and so give them ambiguous or masculine names. And of course, the same parents would do the exact opposite for their sons, by not selecting any name that might be ambiguous in any way.

I don't think it's important to know how "amplitude" relates to the underlying mathematics. In the context of the comic, it is constrained by the following statements:

* A qubit is special because it's a superposition of "0" and "1"

* A superposition isn't described by being "both" of them, or "maybe one or the other in weird ways"; it's "a complex combination" that's also a "unit vector"

* Quantum mechanics is a generalization of probability

* (Not in comic, but common knowledge) Any "event" has a certain "probability" that it will occur

* Classical probability can only range from 0 to 1, along a straight 1D line

* Quantum events are determined by the 2D probability "amplitude", where this word describes the superposition of "0" and "1" of the qubit above

* (Common knowledge) Taking a measurement of a qubit or any other quantum system collapses the superposition

* When you measure a qubit, there is a rule that converts the "amplitude" into a classical probability. In the case of a qubit, the "event" is whether it will be a "0" or a "1"

* Because amplitudes are actually 2D (while the qubit is in superposition), the rules for adding two amplitudes are different than for adding two 1D probabilities. In particular, they can "interfere" and cancel out. Think of two vectors that point in opposite directions, or (1 + 0i) + (-1 + 0i) = (0 + 0i)

Some of the above is probably cheating, since I read the other replies to this comment before rereading the comic. However, I think if you move even further away from the detailed math, the usage of "amplitude" is pretty clear. Non-quantum bits would have a "probability" of being measured as "0" or "1". A qubit in superposition has a certain "amplitude" that is analogous to probability, determining whether it will be measured as "0" or "1". Quantum computing exploits the special probabilities of this "amplitude" to do calculations you can't normally do, for very specific problems. It's very hard to keep even a few small qubits in the state of "superposition", which is required to exploit these properties.
Where in SF do you serve? Literally just the city?

Are there mileage limits, since these cars are presumably sold as new/ish?
A lane that instructs you to ride in the door zone should be ignored. It's safer to ride in the center of the general purpose lane that's far enough from parked vehicles to avoid the risk of getting doored. Your safety is far more important than someone else's convenience.
It's just a more specific word. You can say all words are unnecessary because you can express the same thing using more words.
I never expected them to build a decent phone. The Linux platform had already been out for a year prior, and yes, I did expect them to do so on schedule given the fact they have laptops that they have been shipping for some time now.

I used the original Android handsets -- the first first ones that never made it to market. I remember their quality (still have one), and I'd fully expect that as the first thing coming out of the gate from Purism.
I do not believe that a crypto that would be a viable substitute would be deflationary. I am observing that the most popular crypto today is bitcoin, that it is deflationary, that (many of) its fans like that property, and that it would be a poor basis for an entire economy.

I would genuinely like to hear more about how these future crypto currencies will "Tear the Doors Off the financial system". I got into cryptocurrency in 2012 and I have been hearing claims like that since then, but I have not found any of them plausible.
