It's a tool (focused on the Toronto market only for now) that provides detailed reports on the history of a building / area for realtors and/or buyers (and i guess maybe renters or self sellers).

Trying to bring together a lot of open data sources such a building permit history for the property in question and the neighbours, nearby proposed development activity, schools, hospital, police, fire service locations, lead pipe replacement status, legality of any on premise parking etc. Essentially all the "due diligence" related items that come up when you're trying to transact and typically take a fair while to get to the bottom of. A report takes about 1 minute to pull, planning to have the service be a yearly subscription for the customer of around $300/year

I do read the ToS and I skim the EULA. I skim the ToS between OS releases (so maybe it's possible the latest point release acknowledges this.)

To be clear, I don't think it'd be acceptable for this to be hidden in the Terms either way.

And no, that's not really equivalent either. And the drawback becomes immediately evident to almost anyone taking photos, since they have their own eyes to compare to.
This chart looked pretty striking. "Tokelau, Masai, and Inuit populations who consume “extremely” high percentages of saturated fat yet have extremely low rates of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes."

So much conflicting studies on this, I'm at a loss to what to believe, including this study that points otherwise: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/saturated-f...
Yup. For me they had brand prominence because of various customer friendly things like bags fly free, sit where you want, etc. It will take a mountain of good reports from other people over a significant period of time for me to want to fly with them.

Doesn't the person filing the suit, by the wording of the suit, admit to expecting inaccuracy based on skin color before buying the device?

Also, did they sue Garmin and Fitbit similarly? If not, it's kind of a self confessed money grab attempt in full daylight.
I am still waiting for companies to realize that offices in the pre-pandemic sense are a completely unnecessary expense, a drag on productivity and a competitive disadvantage for the organizations that keep clinging on to this idea. It's easy to talk about the importance of meeting face-to-face, when you ignore the opportunity cost of enabling this versus scaling down to more up-to-date spaces that make things like workshops, larger meetings and pair programming truly comfortable, and reinvesting the savings into higher salaries and other benefits. Are the management teams in our industry just waiting for someone to pull the trigger, or are they hoping that no-one will do so, and that everyone will just forget that the pandemic taught us how meaningless commuting to work is?

Colloquially this was known as “extend and pretend” during the GFC.
Lower overall return of light which causes low SNR, how that manifests is a software question. I've worked on similar systems and read some of the papers about the pulse ox problems, the problem is pretty well known for the finger clip style devices. Watches are harder because the fit to wrist is unreliable and there is muscle and bone right under the skin. In my experience (pretty pale skin) the data quality from the Apple Watch is poor but good enough for rough trending over weeks.
I think in order to bring a lawsuit you have to actually have a relationship with the particular company. So it would take someone who bought a thing to sue over it failing to uphold its claims. If the suit against Apple for the Apple Watch works, I would absolutely expect other vendors to follow.

Gotcha. So America's attempt at reconciling the Berne Convention and pre-1973 law gave Arthur Conan Doyle extra copyright years that didn't apply in the EU or UK.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the expiration pause triggered by the 1976 act winds up being longer and more intolerable than the Berne or EUCD/SBCTEA[0] pauses. There's a lot of 1978 artists still alive today, after all. And of course, if anyone ever figures out aging reversal and functional immortality, then we also get perpetual copyright. (Who the fuck thought life terms were a good idea?)

It's obvious that we ate meat as early humans, but the article and theory that meat evolved our brains is just that, a theory.

There's also been theories that fire and cooking is more associated with brain development since we're able to absorb more nutrients from meat and tubers that we forged.

Airline systems are some of the oldest computing architectures in use.

The Sabre reservation system was created by IBM for American Airlines in the 1950s — when a computer filled an entire building floor and was built out of vacuum tubes — and remains actively used today by multiple airlines. The programming language has been switched several times over the past 60+ years, but essential compatibility remains.
Ask HN: Is Touch ID on the Mac worse than on the iPhone?
I've had a Touch ID-enabled MBA for several months. The computer is great, but the Touch ID is surprisingly bad. I have to reset my fingerprints every few weeks, which is something I never experienced with my many iPhones. I might have reset those occasionally, but less than annually.

Am I the only one with this issue? Or are the Touch ID sensors in the Mac just not as good as the ones in the iPhones?

What we were trying to do was help the parents to teach the kids to self-soothe. So in effect, we weren't saying that they wouldn't wake. We were saying that they would wake, but they wouldn't have to signal their parents. They could go back down into the next sleep cycle.

The conversations around sleep training are always rife with folks focusing on their own perceived risks, and the emotional guilt, that come with making trade-off decisions. While we over-focus on the noisy crying, we miss focusing on the skill building part of sleep training: training kids and parents the skill of soothing themselves in the absence of the other. Skill building with kids can sometimes be super hard on both kids and parents; welcome to Parenting.
Vegetarians typically eat a lot of food that isn't plant-based, and that vegans won't eat. Eggs, dairy, honey, etc.

Something that is literally only made from plant products is food that both vegetarians and (most) vegans would be comfortable eating, in the absence of any other dietary restrictions.

I grew up in eastern Europe. Yes, meat was more expensive 30 years ago. These days, thanks to endless subsidies, meat is way cheaper than quality vegetables and most nuts.

And yet, people choose not to eat it. Earth shattering, I know. Damn, some people really get pissed off when you make the "wrong" choice of not eating meat.

You’re thinking of _water_ usage, not CO2, there. Though, even then the numbers are… dubious, and this factoid usually relies on comparing the worst-case for almonds (California, basically) with the best case for cows (un-irrigated pasture, little supplemental feed).

In British Columbia, Canada, new mothers are given material that talks about how to co-sleep in a safe manner, just as you say. Ensuring the mother has not had alcohol or drugs, covers and pillows are kept away and that the mother isn’t falling asleep exhausted (easier said than done, but going to bed early and not being up all night are key).

This has to have implications on why no two studies are ever quite the same, and rarely reproducible. Yet another "study": https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26980822/
Seconding: databases as an "implementation detail" is pretty wrong. If you're writing a basic CRUD app you can get away with it, and in fairness this is a lot of cases. But as soon as you start saying things like "how do we lock rows" or "let's put 10M rows in this table" you really need to write the SQL yourself, because at this point you don't have a software application, you have a data application.

My guess is that there are genetic differences, and possibly environmental triggers that change how humans process foods. So, there’s probably no universal rule. Inuits almost certainly need the fats due to their environment. Sub Saharan Africans probably don’t.
Here's an article citing research published this year that disputes the idea that our large brain was directly a result of access to extra protein from hunting meat:

"They concluded that the evidence for increased carnivory in our ancestors is merely an effect of increased sampling of the archaeological record at certain time intervals starting around two million years ago, meaning that there is no strong relationship between eating more meat and the evolution of larger brains in our ancestors."

Where I live, most people had electric baseboard heating before they installed their heat pump, so 99% of the time they are using less electricity and on those really cold days, they are using as much as they did before getting a heat pump, so we know our grid can handle that. The grid in the US is weak because Americans have traditionally depended more on fossil fuels or wood for heating.
It's really obnoxious for non-open companies to include "open" in the name. Stolen valour, basically.
Only specific aspects of modern life are energetically wasteful, depending on what era you compare to.

Many modern conveniences reduce resources use, because they replace real things with ones and zeros, and for better or worse many industries are getting forgotten.

I'm still hopeful the future will be a place where privacy is readily available but not strictly needed, but I can see why people would think otherwise.
Indeed, "animal-free" could look more cool. It also is more strict, and may get you sued.

Say, crepes with fruit jam are definitely plant-based, but they may not be animal-free: the jam may contain bits of gelatin, and the easiest way to make nice-looking crepes is to fry them on lard.
The TV series of Logan's Run and Planet of the Apes are reasonably obscure because they weren't too popular (I've got hold of both them, by the way).

Why did you not use the "Buy For Others" option? It is directly under the "Buy now with 1-Click" option. It lets you enter any number of emails and they will send the books directly to them. Or they'll just give you redemption codes you can send out yourself.

Ahem, “the average amount of space per lease is decreasing across all types of commercial property.”

Fewer, new commercial projects going up, and smaller office sizes. Vacancy is down if you count the number of leases signed and not the size of the property. So still going down.
> The wisdom of limited government is that any sufficiently powerful political organization will be corrupted and abused.

When accumulated political power is broken up, it doesn't magically return to individuals who are then able to consciously and intelligently allocate it better. It creates a power vacuum (this is one of those terms that was named backwards imo, because its more like a power feeding frenzy). The result is that that power is most likely to be captured by the next most interested actors, only now they aren't even beholden to democracy.

This is, imo, an equally convincing 'just-so' story about political power, but I'm humble enough to recognize that (but not so humble that I won't reply at all).

The thing with these political/organizational structure things, is that they're very complicated and fuzzy. There is no one size fits all prescription that fixes everything. You have to look at all of the underlying incentive structures and untangle them. Otherwise you won't understand what the problem was to begin with. This sucks and is hard.

The Apple Watch oximeter functionality -- basically a pretty silly gimmick -- is explicitly marketed as “not intended for medical use” and “only designed for general fitness and wellness purposes.” The problems that optical oximeters have with darker skin is well known, painfully obvious, and a basic reality of physics.

This is a bunch of nonsense, the complaint itself reads like an 5th grader's English class homework assignment. It's less coherent than ChatGPT and cites no data whatsoever.

I'm a mechanical engineer. There is no way that Apple's mechanical team did not evaluate the oximeter performance against people of many skin colors. If this thing goes to trial, Apple will pull out their test data and that will be the end of the case.
Much of Silicon Valley is hardware work that literally can’t be done from home.
> And there's such a strong force to silence criticism of the system

This is partly because public discourse is incapable of nuance and because often those criticizing are in fact much much worse than the system being criticized.

In the early years of the internet, we naively believed the interconnectedness of the internet would solve such things. Good will, honesty, and, proper information hygiene do not scale.
For healthy people in normal conditions it's rather pointless. Continuous monitoring can be useful for patients with known or suspected pulmonary conditions, such as emphysema, COVID-19, or pneumonia. Monitoring during sleep can be useful for diagnosing sleep apnea. There is also an edge case for high altitude mountaineering and flying in unpressurized aircraft where hypoxia can be an issue.
Yeah, agreed -- (1) isn't exactly commonplace. That point was originally meant to fit into an extended section of the post on reporting format imprecision, i.e. our current inability to express anything more precise than "this dependency is exploitable, you need to upgrade it" with existing vulnerability formats and feeds. Not being able to automatically filter by implementation variance or context-sensitivity fall under that.

But I then trimmed that section so this point is mostly irrelevant to the larger post, as you said!
That is a good point. The people who invested in long term leases in the late 90s in malls went bankrupt but the malls mostly stayed around. I assume the same thing will happen with office space. Demolishing the building is expensive, might as well keep the lights on and wait to see if someone wants the space for offices or storage or whatever.
NTSB Standing up for more transparent data release - a very good thing!
It can be cost-driven, but it's just as likely to be complexity-gated (w/ cost frequently being implementation driven and a proxy for complexity). The cost comes from actually unwinding a gnarly legacy system (that may be less than well understood) and making the successor system work. Also, Gall's law has entered the chat:

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.

I wonder why Hardware vendors like TI and STMicro did not learn the lesson from Software Vendors like Microsoft, Adobe, and to a lessor degree Google.

Is this satire? If not, here's some:

From a quick search it appears that subcutaneous fat can adversely affect the accuracy of an optical pulse oximeter. It sounds like everyone with a large BMI should get a class action going too.

For that matter, I can't believe that the GPS in the Apple Watch, which is marketed as accurate by a trillion dollar company, works worse for people living in dense urban areas. Another clear case of bias against the urban poor while billionaires living on their ranches in Montana with an open view of the sky enjoy perfect GPS.
I am guessing you would consider anything that disrupts the whole mastodon instance (as opposed to specific features) very seriously?
Reading and writing on HN, I see (not always obviously) some very good and thoughtful posts. Most of these are relevant to the present in which they are written, and quickly get buried under new stuff. So I don't think it's a big stretch to just have old ones disappear

They also move around much more, don't eat tons of refined carbs and sugars, live in more "sociable" societies, etc.
The article touches on organizing code which has an interesting aside for me.

When I work on side projects, I certainly encounter periods of boredom or disengagement. What can help is to say something like "you know what... I am just going to rewrite this and make it much cleaner". Only feature parity. Not trying to force anything new or trick myself into solving a hard problem right now.

Sometimes this simple cleanup pass will turn into several hours of deep exploration and development. Sometimes not.

I think of this similar to intense physical exercise. No one in their right mind goes to the gym and deadlifts their 1 rep max without at least a tiny amount of warmup beforehand.

If you are on this path and trying to build a real thing that people might actually want to pay for (or is at least compelling enough to work on for free), you are dealing with a similar mental barrier. Warm yourself up on smaller, more approachable tasks if you are finding trouble with motivation. Rerun a successful prototype from last year to remember why you are still doing all of this in the first place.

Also, if you aren't using source control for your side projects, you really need to get into the rythym. Every personal project I have worked on since ~2017 has a repository tracking it in Github. It takes me 10 seconds to find that clever chunk of code from a few years ago using their global search feature. Little tricks like this keep me from spiraling into distracted nothingness. If I had to manually browse through folders in my filesystem or dropbox, I'd never touch this stuff again.
