Hi, Martin from Quell here. As someone who shares this exact experience, it's something we have been thinking about from day one when building Quell. If we make something that causes injury or can easily be "tricked" into thinking that the player has done something they haven't, we have failed in our core goal of making a fun, accessible workout that can be enjoyed at all fitness levels.

We're working in consultation with boxers and boxing trainers to ensure that the game teaches users proper form. To break through your enemies defences and succeed in the game, you'll need to perform precise, accurate strikes with good technique. In addition, our wearable prevents you from hyper-extending when throwing straight shots, which can otherwise cause injury.
Reddit tries ridiculously hard to hide its porn, even though it's 5% of the posts on rising and more than 20% of the posts on new.
It's ok because there is no law or policies preventing it. The information is not that sensitive and is only provided to the parties authorized under the law and only for the purposes authorized under the law.

I would like to see privacy laws overall change, but I don't see any issue with the DPPA law.

This is impossible to stop, there are private companies that collect road side camera data and combine it with cell phone GPS coordinates to figure out the same information. If you own a home your address is apart of public record, if you collect a paycheck anyone get run a background check on you and get the same information.

We should just stop the illusion of privacy, your data isn't private. It may have never been private.
It's important to understand causation. Engaged parents will still want to spend quality time with their children either way, but they will still want to know the impact. Even engaged parents let young children play with toys on their own from time to time. How are physical toys different than touchscreen "toys"?

Ask HN: How hard is creating an app to replace Uber and Lyft?
With Uber and Lyft threatening to shut down over California's ruling to classify drivers as employees, how hard would it be to replace the services? Could drivers and supporters create an alternative app to allow them to serve riders without going through the services? Does California have enough entrepreneurs and programmers whom the shutdown would inconvenience enough to make solving it worth their while?
California also takes a mandatory blood sample at birth and they sell it to research firms.
Used to play it on my Nokia 3310.
The service isn't expected to work very well in the urban areas where I assume most current Tesla owners live, so I'm not sure this is a particularly natural fit. Also, it requires a bulky receiver.
Yes, that happened a few years ago
It is a better fit because they can pay the most.

The largest driver of asset inflation in the large caps is 401k's and other retirement/pension plans managed by large entities. I have no choice but to invest my money in my 401k into the stock market or equally risky and lower return corporate bond market.

Individuals investing in ETFs doesn't move the needle. Fund managers seem to be part of some cartel, pumping various asset groups at various times. We're just along for the ride.
Goal and value statements are a hallmark of effective leadership, and even people who don’t know this seem to know it on an unconscious level. It can make some people who don’t have “it” very defensive if you try to address the elephant in the room.

> I wonder if it's possible to make such a contract that works?

Yes. In short, you expressly identify in the contract that the provision is for the benefit of Oculus Rift users, and then they gain the power to enforce it as “intended third-party beneficiaries”.

Similarly but contrariwise, I want to sink those driving devices which have removed physical buttons and mandated screen taps precisely because they can't be used without taking your eyes off the road.

You can feel physical buttons. If the UI has a consistent menu system and a reset mechanism (e.g. a home button), you can navigate it blind. If it has different input modalities (switches, dials, toggles of different shapes and sizes) for different functions, even better.

The most enraging thing is Reddit took over video hosting themselves, but simply declined to have a mobile/text share option.

Links from any 3rd party service show up in the phone as the content i want to share.

Reddit? You try to send someone a Reddit video link and they get affronted by a pop up banner to download the mobile app when they click through. WTF!

I sent a reddit link to a video to my dad, once. He replied 'cant open it.' So f* off reddit. Allow rehosting or change your content policies. Stop making the internet worse.
Adverts aside, TV shows usually require 10s of minutes of concentration on a connected subject thread (depends a lot on the programmes of course). Touchscreen activities are usually shorter with brief reactive interactions?

This is not what China does.

China requires a proactive censorship policy and all Chinese data to be hosted in China. If the company complies, they can operate in China.

This is why Skype and iMessage work in China.
Yeah, it's pretty bad. Netflix having no sound, the TV mode having no video, and Spotify hanging are the worst offenders for me. A nightly reboot would be excessive, but if I'm going to automate it, might as well do it daily.

These homescreen ads are really interesting because in the future of television, they might be the only thing viewers are guaranteed to see a glimpse of.

In the era of linear TV, the masses had to watch what the networks put in front of them. People had to watch whatever was available in the broadcast medium of their choice (air/cable/satellite). Channel flipping meant that the networks had a brief moment to expose themselves to viewers, and maybe even hook them with those repetitive post-commercial recaps.

But non-linear television means that the network execs can fuck right off because people will watch whatever they want, whenever they want, on the subscription service they want. The fragmentation is real.

The homescreen ads present themselves as a rare chance for channel producers to say "hey! come look at our amazing content!". Right before a viewer fires up Netflix or whatever.

(On a personal note, those overly loud and obnoxious homescreen ads are fucking annoying and usually turn me off from whatever the hell is being advertised. Turning on my TV should be a source of joy and relaxation, not a a desperate desire to pull up Netflix as fast as humanly possible. I'm also certain that in the future when all of our smart TVs have 128-core RISC-V CPUs with 16GB of RAM and can run k8s, TV software producers will intentionally slow down the loading of apps so viewers are forced to watch the homescreen ads.)

That's because they need to drive growth, and in established markets, desktop still represents like half of all web traffic.

Venmo moved back to a mobile-preferred;crippled-desktop experience. So it is possible that most of these properties will pull a similar move. Especially IG and Tinder. Like with Venmo & Paypal, IG is the mobile-first version of Facebook, and Tinder doesn't make much sense as a desktop product, outside of maybe some messaging capabilities.
I have read part of Zee's Group Theory in a Nutshell for Physicists and it seems pretty good. (Zee is a great writer). It's my only exposure to group theory though so I'm not sure how it compares to other books.
The author makes some good points but fails to acknowledge the most powerful aspect of open-source, it’s open-source!

He describes open-source as if it is a service being provided by the developers maintaining it rather than a tool anyone can adjust. Obviously good maintainers really help a project flourish but even more advantageous is the ability for anyone to fix bugs in the source code and use the fix immediately. I don’t have to wait for someone to fix something or the next release, I can just do it without having to build it from the whole thing from scratch or switch providers.
T-minus X: "Starlink: offering free transit to Azure & GCP."
That's super interesting, thanks for the video! Perhaps they understood that there might be resistance to native ("small market" at the start) and so looked for something that could help the transition?
Most Americans agree that "the welfare of others" ought to be cared for, they just disagree who ought to be primarily responsible for the care. With too broad an understanding of "general welfare" you'd wind up with a 10th amendment that means nothing, because "the general welfare" includes everything, so the Federal government is the only government. I would hate to make Federal lawmakers spend brainpower making laws regarding snow removal that worked equally well in LA and AK.
Its P/E ratio was about 18 year ago. It has pretty much doubled in the last year.
The sentiments you express feel familiar for a lot of people I imagine. I know people where I live in Idaho who are trying to do what you propose - buy a humble home, go solar and get off the grid, grow a garden and have chickens, etc.

Most of them are unsuccessful at achieving full independence, because they still work remotely and buy about the same amount of stuff as anyone else, as you suggested. But they do seem to have achieved a sustainable lifestyle and are happy.

The only one I know who really made it is my friend and old business partner, who has enough apps out that he has finally been making rent for the last couple of years. He lives extremely modestly (I don't think he even has cable TV) but he does still socialize and travel with his girlfriend.

In my own life, I've always had to choose between having money or time, but never both at once. That's the main way that the American Dream has broken down IMHO. We used to have a middle class in the US, with enough income to raise a family and take a vacation each year. Now the bottom half of the population works overtime yet has no net worth, and the top 1% are so obligated to their work that they toil away their lives worrying about when the music's gonna stop. Wealth inequality makes all of us slaves.

As far as eating meat goes, nobody understands that it's so much harder to stop being a vegetarian than to become one. I tried to abstain from meat as much as possible for ethical reasons, but had to start eating it again because my health failed a year and a half ago. I was working out heavily, and I think my body borrowed protein from my organs because I wasn't eating enough. Now I can only eat rice and beans once a week because my gut won't handle any more than that. I take a moment to mourn before each meal of meat, then thank the creator that I have it and consume it almost like a ritual.

So on that note, I guess I've come to terms with being part of a system since I must depend on it now for my very survival. I think I've realized what libertarians come to realize eventually. That going against the wind is great and all, but in the end, the weather wins.

> Is there a music buff's roadmap, some sort of a chronologically-ordered list of the best and most influential albums that gives a coherent picture of how music evolved over the 20th century? And is that a right approach to becoming a music buff?

Probably not, because it doesn't start from where you are. For example, my I happen to like the music of the second Viennese school (well, Schoenberg and Webern; I don't much like Berg's work). My parents both regarded it with confusion. So I sat them down and played a whole series of pieces, first going back from common practice into the Renaissance to get outside common practice tonality, and then forward through Puccini to Stravinsky, each stepwise leading their ears so when we got to Schoenberg's 4th string quartet they could hear it and say, "Alright, I see how this isn't a crazy departure and I kind of hear what's going on."

Now, my parents were steeped in Baroque and classical period music, so their starting point is unlikely to help you.

Someone else suggested a music appreciation course, which probably is the right way. You need some kind of framework to explore in and enough sampling of the space to be able to get a hint of what you like.

If you just want to get started right now, I suggest starting with the Beatles, which are the only artists that I think pretty much every western musician of the 20th century is conversant with, from Baroque music specialists to grunge metal players.
Ah, so they wanted to verify that.

Fair enough if you already told them, but I'd make it clear they'd see the proof when the offer was otherwise certain.
I had the opposite experience once: at my previous company we were all issued mid-tier ThinkPads. Completely out of the blue we all received an email saying we'd be given a set budget and would be able to choose any machine we wanted. We went from 100% Windows to about 80% OS X within a week. They ended up giving the old ThinkPads away. (I put Ubuntu on one and gave it to my mom.)

This was in 2012 or so, and because of that I was able to learn Objective-C and go on to work on the first version of our native app. It made me a stronger engineer, and allowed the company to have developers who were already familiar with the product and backend services work on native. It was win-win.
In that case, this might be the perfect deal for TikTok as Americans will use a VPN to access better content and apps.
Yes, I seriously question whether their business in the whole has doubled in that year. Ie twice the revenue and profit, etc.

Apple’s dollars and Italy or Spain’s dollars per year aren’t the same units. All this means is that neither Italy nor Spain create the equivalent of one new Apple per year. I’m not even sure if that’s accurate, as valuation delta and production might have the same units but still probably aren’t the same thing.
Funnily enough in one of the article's citations, the UK's government has funded SIGINT research for CRT and LCD televisions[0] to see if you're watching the BBC on the flat panel television inside your own home.

It is an excellent indicator of value. Every single share holder could have been the person to have sold the share, but they choose not to. Yes, HOLD is different than BUY, but in terms of what a company is actually valued at market cap is an extremely good source of information. It values in information about future trends from a sea of market participants. There is a reason Amazon and Apple have very different price to earnings numbers.

Huh my kids both get tablet almost daily and have since they were toddlers.

As toddlers they also started growing food, hiking, learning counting through dice toss, at kids music groups, putting away their toys, cleaning the house, and playing with way too many building and science-y toys.

Cognitive research has shown for decades hands on depth in a variety of contexts enables people. It’s the market economics narrative enabling economic horders that’s making it so both parents need to work and kids get neglected that’s keeping them stupid.
Laws and exemptions vary by state, so research your state.

Non-competes generally require consideration, time limit, and geographic range to be enforceable. Again rules vary by state.

In 40 years working as a programmer in multiple states I can’t recall signing a non-compete more than a couple of times. Obviously lots of people with non-competes change jobs all the time, so I don’t think it’s a big problem unless you actively harm your former employer.

> If Amazon has shown at least some launches done in good faith, expect the FCC to be VERY lenient if Amazon don't meet their goal of launching 1618 out of 3236 satellites.

That...depends. The FCC has been rather politicized recently, and shifts approximately with US Presidential Administrations; if when the time came the Administration was as anti-Bezos as the current one, I wouldn't be surprised to see it hold Amazon to the letter of the terms whether or not the intent of the rules was different and usual practice involved fairly easy modification as long as good-faith effort was shown.
The car I have allows both touching the elements on the screen as well as using physical knobs and levers to control the same elements. When it was new, I found myself reaching for the screen, but now that it has some age on it, the physical controls win every time. Which leads me to believe that touch is better for discoverability, but not general use. Which kind of mirrors my experience using computers with physical input devices versus touchscreen tablets/phones.
No VPN would be necessary. The US has not proposed censoring the TikTok application, nor does the US president have the authority to censor otherwise legal speech.

I've always had a crazy idea that a wealth based income tax would be the way to go.
ie. the more wealth you have, the harder it is to get more. This sounds like the capitalist's nightmare; but it encourages spending, and encourages innovation.

The problem with wealth based tax is how to accurately assess an individual's wealth. If someone has a resource for how that would work, I'd be interested.
I think a much simpler explanation is: Mr. Trump has heard of these companies before. Full stop, thats the extent of his analysis.
This was even true 15 years ago, when I was CTO for a startup that put displays on restaurant tabletops. Even back then (before the iPhone was even released), we saw that most users tried to touch the screen to control it! People reasonably expect all screens (especially any screen displaying information) to be touchscreens they can interact with. We need the hardware to catch up. Fortunately, newer technology now makes it possible to build large (up to 100 inches or more) touchscreens with no compromise.
The problem is that parents are using screen time as a nanny, and are training their kids to rely on them as such.

IMO, kids need to be taught self-control and have the ability to entertain themselves before screens are introduced.

Toddler age is definitely too early, I am in the opinion that as little as necessary until it starts to be required in school.

My 2nd grader knows that screens are useful and has seen limited use, wikipedia, video calls, but he is always accompanied by me. And he has no reliance on them.
