They promised the world, their management didn't understand what OSS meant. It was pretty bad early on.
Their investors also didn't understand OSS and thus made sure that core parts never became OSS.
That's why there was NemoMobile, it was (is?) a true and fully open source implementation, replacing all the proprietary Sailfish bits.

It could have been great, but many mistakes where made in many places, not just by management. Now it's a fringe OS, with a closed source UI and no noticeable market share. Let alone growth in such.

NB: This is based on my personal involvement up to 2015-ish.
> Will these tests be covered by the NHS?

The marketing copy on the website seems to suggest this is for private healthcare ("All your private healthcare needs in one app")

I will be interested to see how this goes, because the sentiment outlined in the OP can be quite controversial in the UK healthcare market ("while we appreciate the NHS, we also wished for a world where...") - for international context, the NHS employs 1 in 17 people in the UK, and there is an almost irrational love for it. The UK's initial covid lockdown message even featured it as an imperative - "Stay at home. Protect the NHS. Save lives". A push towards private healthcare (at point of use) may well be a challenging sell, though perhaps a primarily-urban market might accept it more.
You also plant stuff to have a handle on people you’d like to use.
To avoid confrontation in the 48h window, a good squatter strategy is to target summer or weekend houses that have typically other weekend houses next to it so that neighbours aren't there and won't alert the owner.

Then squatters move in in two steps. First they do a small break in and leave, observing whether someone notices and fixes the first break in. If the first break in goes unnoticed, it is probably safe to move in, change the locks and squat there permanently as nobody will confront them in the 48h window.

Of course you can: governments do this all the time. Tariffs, incentives, taxes, subsidies, laws.

People in this case are responding to the need by renting out rent controlled apartments for a very large premium to people who under normal conditions may not be eligible to live there in the first place. Same thing here in NL, with in the larger cities a healthy dollop of AirBNB tossed in for some extra artificial shortage.
He learnt the field and know what can be done and what cannot be done. Go lookup the history of Ai with lisp and then deep blue vs Karpersky. Back then people believe humanoid like Star Trek Data is possible within our lifetime. If you have studied the AI of its day you would know it is near impossible. The OP above you is right, based on current ML knowledge self-driving car is impossible. Assisted self-driving car is more likely. The problem of self-driving car isn't like chess or go. There isnt simplified rules. Humans and humans needs are messy. What you're thinking of is some new technology say super LIDAR++ and new method say doubly deep organic learning might solve the problem. But as of now, they are not yet invented or extremely infant stage. But one thing for sure those aren't the current knowledge ML. Perhaps Waymo will get there...perhaps no. Many decades ago, there are tesla-like cars but it was successful because of battery tech and cheap oil price. They basically went out of business. So Waymo maybe be like them, full of possibility but the isn't ripe yet. Just like Friendster and MySpace before FB.

Here's how the OECD does it at a country-level. A couple decades ago this probably seemed too hard. Then, it turns out it's not that hard to operationalize wellbeing and measure it at scale with statistical confidence. It isn't perfect — the science advances — and that's good.

Companies already invest heavily in the assessment and optimization of employee wellbeing. This is a major industry in HR now, especially during covid. Is it really such a far stretch that a Facebook or Netflix should regularly gather metrics from a subset of customers to understand how their products affect user wellbeing?
I work in SRE where a pretty common expression is “what gets measured gets fixed”. I used to take that as at least mildly inspirational, and to mean that more and better monitoring leads to more things being fixed. And to some extent that’s true.

In recent years though I’ve come to see the downsides of that mantra as outweighing the good of it. Because some things are either extraordinarily difficult or expensive to measure, or because understanding what the measurement is demonstrating is beyond the intellectual reach or experience of many people. By the latter sentiment I mean, it’s not enough to just show a number or a graph, it has to be interpreted, and for some things that interpretation is very challenging if you’re not a (or the) expert in that system.

As a result, it’s more like “easy to measure and understand things get fixed, everything else gets ignored”. It disdains or glosses over the idea that maybe a person or team’s subjective opinion about what’s important to fix carries any weight at all, because if it was really so important, surely they’d be able to demonstrate that in a form that someone (possibly willfully) ignorant of the system can understand.

I see the same forces at work here, in marketing and a/b testing. The simple to understand metrics are what are optimized, while the more complicated ones get ignored or drowned out. The longer term benefits are hard to measure, and more importantly, hard to understand and interpret.

I don't think there is a sense of "safety" because of walled gardens. I think it is a sense of "learned helplessness". If you keep shocking the rat no matter what they do, eventually they lie down and just hurt.
Some cities are trafficking hubs. Drugs are everywhere. Effective deterrents for would-be users might include better support networks and opportunities both for work and social/active engagement, in a limited sense. Most would occupy varied low-income areas and consequently there develops microcultures of poverty, which includes drug abuse, but they have easy access to the rest of the city - they meander to those areas they want to squat. Breaking up these places geographically helps (as opposed to having large "projects"), but here again it's not a silver bullet.

There's little the community can do legally, voluntarily and with few funds, to fight off a drug epidemic. If it were so easy this would have been done many times over. The frequent violent altercations (including stabbings) leaves people afraid of users as well.
There have literally been hundreds of thousands of new jobs created in the region in recent decades. Cambridge alone added nearly 50,000 new jobs since 1980!

So yes 2400 units is a start, but we need dozens more like it before we start to even come close to solving the shortage.
I’m not sure how that CEOs response differs from <insertanyindustryhere>. It is a rare case that you see a CEO decide that some other metric is more important than making money.
It’s profitable because it’s physically efficient - fossil fuels are readily available and highly energy dense and relatively safe. Nothing else offers that. This isn’t some sneaky capitalist plot - the soviets burned lots of fuel as well.

I’m not defending the continued dependence on fossil fuels, but let’s be realistic about how (externalities aside) fossil fuels are very, very good at what they do. The problem is those externalities have turned out to be pretty bad, and our economic systems have been slow to respond.

good question. every household got a big blue envelope with large print writing in it saying something like 'important information about organ donation changes' (or similar, can't find my copy now) and a pamphlet inside. like i said, this was sent to every household, so it does miss the homeless, illiterate and non english speakers (although the pamphlet had instructions in other languages explaining how to access more information) and there were press, radio, tv, internet and outdoor adverts, as i recall. i mean, only covid-19 health information dissemination has been more extensive recently. but, you're right, would be interesting to know how effective the campaign was, and im sure they checked, since it cost a fair bit of public money, so the information should be available somewhere online...
> If anyone doubts that they are greed-driven, just ask. They don't hide it.

They have a legal obligation to pursue profits for shareholders. This is their fiduciary duty.

And they are like this because their consumers are like this. If people weren't so "greedy" demanding hydrocarbons at rock bottom prices, and instead wanted to pay a premium for solar powered EVs, well then hell believe me they would pursue those businesses.

But the demand isn't there. Consumers are too greedy. Consumers don't want to change their behavior.

I'm definitely in the camp of "don't patronize me with being a 'silly' corporation". I don't believe you, you're trying to make money, trying to be pals with me grosses me out.
Definitely a symptom of AirBNB. Every single one I've stayed in has the cheapest most laughably small washing machine. Considerably smaller than the ones most people would purchase for their own home.
Of course larger-scale changes are larger. One problem is that when you argue for a large-scale change, people generally expect you to be not-a-hypocrite on the small personal level. Small-scale actions give authority to large-scale ideas/arguments.
Is there really much immigration to Stockholm?

According to https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/SWE/sweden/net-migrati... net immigration to Sweden has been consistently dropping since ~2010, and at 0.3368% of the population per year, that doesn't sound like it would move the needle on housing.

Kicking grandma out of her rented apartment and on to the street isn't going to suddenly mean that Romanian cleaners won't be living 7 to a house in zone 5.

This housing crisis was deliberately engineered in London as a result of the 1980s war between Thatcher and local government. Council housing was privatized as a result (& some of those gains were capitalized by existing residents through right-to-buy).

Councils were starved of tax funding through the UK's comically low council tax rates. This meant that not only was owning property a much better deal but also that councils lacked the funds to increase the supply of housing. Hence prices taking off like a rocket.

There's your supply issue. Rent control would be a drop in the bucket compared to that.

"These people are wrong, so they should be silenced" ... would you say that's a fair summation of your position?

Has the "settled science" not been found to have nuances and complications that might be worthy of further discussion?

I personally have been saved from likely severe injury by seatbelts. I require passengers in my car to wear them, (absent real reason not to). I still don't think the government has any right to mandate their use nor fine people for failing to wear them. I cannot imagine what positive use would be served by attempting to silence debate on the issue. Negative results of such dogmatic approaches are well documented and often repeated.
You are absolutely right. This is by far the main reason. Even more so as in Sweden you usually have two mortgages. One personal which is used to purchase the property and one taken out by the co-op itself which you pay as part of the monthly fee. On top of that you are also personally liable for mortgage debt.
It doesn't. It's a CEO's fiduciary duty to act in shareholders best interests.

EDIT: HN, you're really getting juvenile. Save downvotes for low quality comments, not 100% factual comments that you simply don't like.
Exactly. They can outright ignore really hard markets,. and be present in markets that have a decent percentage of routes they can handle and fall back to dispatching regular cars on routes their full automation can't handle.
Don't forget the main advantage of mining over buying coin is to avoid all fiat associated regulations. So it's not just about slightly cheaper tokens, it's really about distributing the cost of tax evasion and money laundering.

Go drink a lot of ivermectin you fucking idiot
One of the reasons why pushing change straight to production with A/B testing works so well is that you can expose your new change to statistically significant real user load and, assuming your have decent instrumentation, find the problems. This does mean that a subset of your users get exposed to those problems.

A more user friendly way would be to have a scaled down replica of production setup with simulators that mimic user behavior. Assuming the development team actually believes in and tends this environment, they will find the lion's share of bugs that commonly slip through peer review.
SDR is one of those technologies I still want to play with that I feel will open up this incredible new world to my curious mind. All of a sudden, the invisible waves around us that we often tangentially know about but never think about (because we can't see, smell, or hear them), become a whole sixth sense to explore.

I really hope for some free time to play with this, and to expose this invisible world to those around me (especially my kids), in a way that has been much less accessible in the past.

Even things like ceiling fan remotes, door sensors, wifi, a garage remote, a car key, ISS video feeds, data from stuff in SPACE, weather data, I mean, we're bombarded with it every day all the time and we just don't realize it.

Anyway, just had a wide-eyed moment, as I do every time I read about another thing that makes SDR just a bit easier to access.
> Population doesn’t grow that fast

You can't really look at country-wide population though. The population of e.g. Germany is pretty stable, but within Germany there's a lot of movement with people moving to the large cities. Rent is rising in those cities, while it's getting lower and lower the further you move from those cities.
The obvious triangulation against him by the party probably didn't help. I don't care about Sanders any more than I care about any candidate suggesting we step back from the brink, but it was so obvious even people who spend all day on Twitter calling everyone "Bernie Bros" (even people who aren't bros) got a little suspicious.
That isn't what we are speaking about here. If youtube buys the rights to a show and uploads 'their version' of it with episodes missing and re-numbered so no one will notice any are missing, they are controlling a narrative.

They should at least have a disclaimer about the missing episodes.

This isn't some new idea here.
Berlin is rent-controlled (though probably not to the same extent as Stockholm), and covered in new apartment building sites.

Though Berlin is going through interesting times with rent control at the moment.
Well, some of us might drive electric cars, don't fly if they don't absolutely have to, avoid single use plastics, shop locally and in bulk, etc, etc
Or at least some of us do some of those things. We don't all have to live perfectly carbon neutral lives before we can demand action on a political level or criticize organizations that are actively trying to keep the status quo for as long as possible to maximize their profits.

What I don't understand is why the hacker (whose full name is used in the article - alias?) is being public about this? Shit security or not, they made a clear cut black hat move purely for money. Or I suppose the other factor is fame/infamy. Pretty sure there are at least a few pissed off hackers among those 50M people who would want to track this person down digitally and pull something as retaliation.

Yup. And, "It will happen slowly at first. Then all at once."
The web "experience" was already a mess.

One example is data retention. Previously, data could and and was just keep around forever. With the GDPR, when you delete stuff, you can now expect it to actually be deleted from backend storage, usually within 30 days or less (yes, there are exceptions). This is nice, since it does limit your exposure in case of a breach. Speaking of breaches, they also have to be reported in a timely manner. Without the GDPR or equivalent, companies are free to suppress that as long as they want, and have done so.

> I've wondered if going to work for a slow, boring company would help.

I had a similar thought and so I left startup world to go and work for a government software department.

3 years in, I can definitively say that it’s just a different twist on the same shit sandwich.

The people I work with are incredibly bad at what they do, they’ve been there for 5–20 years, and the pressure doesn’t come from investor wanting growth at all cost but rather from clueless managers, PMs, and other stakeholders who insist on velocity at the expense of quality. Our software is very poorly written (think the daily wtf level of quality), has no thought put into architecture, most don’t even know how to write a unit test, but we are pushed to fix bugs and add features faster and faster because “its just a button, why would it take so long”(tm). Never mind that adding the button requires us to modify half a dozen packages and break the backend because of the senseless architecture.

Anyway, I’m ranting. The point is that this kind of company tends to attract lifers who suck at their job. It’s stressful and it sucks as well, but for different reasons than your typical high pressure startup.

But at least I can stop working at 5:00pm on the dot and no one will tell me anything. Same after 40:00h a week, I just shut off the computer until the next Monday. So there is that.
Actually, yeah. The wealthy have always been blamed for pedophile rings, and in places like England, they've gone out of their way to propagate them. People with the job title of "socialite" absolutely do a lot of sex trafficking. Not all of them, but as a whole the group is tremendously guilty.
Yep! Sunrun (largest residential solar company in the US) has partnered with Ford to make their new electric pickups into “power walls” in this way
There's a stigma against prescribing anabolic steroids, sort of like how there's a stigma against prescribing opioids. They are prescribed, but doctors are wary that patients might just want the gear and aren't suffering enough to warrant it.
>Let’s take a look at the biggest cost driver: compute
>Compute is what makes your cloud bill so high. This isn’t to say that other services don’t contribute to it at all. Storage can get quite expensive and moving data around might result in high egress costs.

I don't know what to say here. Compute is probably costly for cast.ai because they use a lot of it, but for many applications storage and egress is as much if not more than compute. It's all down to the application.

Compute is also the easiest to optimize in terms of cost, and egress the hardest.
You can't seriously be conflating all the money laundering and ransomware attacks enabled by crypto with a tiny bit of crime which happens at the margins of ML (like it might in any industry) can you?
I'm going to front-load this by stating that I 100% agree that representation matters, and absolutely welcome a diversity of perspectives in media. Furthermore, I do believe that much criticism of "woke" media is a knee-jerk reaction to new, unfamiliar values and shifting power.

That said: Netflix's deployment of "wokeness" can feel completely shoehorned in and utterly arbitrary, a cynical technique that affirms the viewers' perspective, thereby increasing engagement.

I'm not "outraged" by it in the slightest. It tends to align with my own worldview. But at the end of the day it just makes for crummy content.
Or, conversely, apps like TikTok, etc, etc will learn from past failures and develop even stronger algorithms to capture attention ad infinitum.
I feel a bit confused about what you mean with that it is not about wealth. If two people wants to live in a place as much and they both are ready to give 30% of their net income, the richer one would get the apartment in a system with no rent control, right? Your point only makes sense if everyone had the same net income.

Secondly, why is the merit of high income more valuable than waiting in the line for longest time? None of them is a lottery in my opinion.
But this is a fully generic SDR. Can this even be certified as some consumer product?
