Motorola is not a "hip" or "young" brand. IMHO they should try easing into a new self-image a little more slowly. This seems a bit Ballmer-esque ("GIVE IT UP FOR ME!" / the dance monkey boy video).

I think the presence of institutions like the IIHS, the safety tests done, and the importance placed on safety by consumers would simply encourage other manufacturers to license the invention. Remember, at the time, manufacturers decided not to include seat belts at all, because they didn't want people to think cars weren't safe. The market is very different, now, and if there were some invention that came along that had as great an impact as the three-point belt I'm sure you would see other manufacturers license or copy it.
Is this a real product launch? This page is horribly broken for me:

There's a header element further down the page "Feminine mystique", not sure what that has to do with a phone.

And then near the bottom there's some cringeworthy copy:

"Never ever, ever, like never, miss a shot ... And you'll never miss those OMG-that-was-sick-did-you-see-that moments again either."

Like dude, that phone is so sick....what? Is it meant to be a caricature of US youth?
In The Verge article [1], they mention that it had to be a unique phrase. I could see "OK Google" causing to many false activations.

This is better than fiction.
That was probably because they were cheap rather than efficient.

I've worked with three large outsourcers over the years and it's been nothing but carnage. We'd have been better off hiring less local people at a higher wage.
It's counterintuive to me that forcing people to sort their trash will lead to a fondness for recycling. Did the draft engender a fondness for the Vietnam war?

A different approach would be to charge people for trash pickup. If the cost for sorted trash removal is enough of a savings, then people will do it.
My personal frustration with Python's coding standards is the combination of PascalCaseNames and snake_case_names. Rust has adopted the same coding style. :(

Plenty of C++ code uses UPPERCASE_SNAKE_CASE_NAMES for macros, but that doesn't seem so bad because macros are ugly and should be used less frequently than classes and functions. (I hope!)
That's the thing, though -- languages aren't just changes of syntax. Writing in an object-oriented style is very different from writing in a functional programming style, even within the same language.

Alternately, new libraries are worth learning. Learning how to deal with massively parallel code is very different from singlethreaded programs.

Of course, you can write C in any language.
Darker than having the NSA collect a good portion of unencrypted internet traffic, and an unknown amount of traffic that was supposed to be secure in transit but might be obtained through back door deals with the service providers themselves? Darker than having a ton of laws nobody can follow and an increasingly militarized police force to enforce those laws?

I'm curious, what darkness do you see in ordinary citizens lying, or drawing unfounded connections between events, to try to shift the political system and social consciousness toward more freedom? Are you one of those people who views telling the absolute truth as a categorical imperative? How much of the anti-British rhetoric of pre-revolution United States (colonies) do you view as lies? A lot of political activity, advertising, and news involves lies of some type (omission, accidental lies, misleading statements... not just answering "yes" when you know the true answer is "no").
Its about the public sector. Once you've done public sector work in the UK, you are tarnished. This isn't a real barrier, but one put up by management.
It's not quite the same, and it does't break things so much as make them rubbish, but try getting a radiology information system to talk to a scanner of some description (CT, MRI etc). GE scanners accept Surname^Name. If someone has a middle name it doesn't display or come across to the scanner, so as to save space (I assume). This is fine until you get someone who has a first name with 2 separate words. I discovered it with someone called something like Al Amen as a first name. No hyphen. So now he is called Al. To make the medical images correct we have to incorrectly spell his name and make the RIS incorrect. Since then I look out for this and I have seen lots of patient names broken in this manner. Mid name capitalization also breaks and all becomes lower case. McDonald to Mcdonald etc. Names are horrid to deal with and people (myself included) like them to be correct.
> Wavelet transformations completely destroy any DCT.

It's not quite that simple. They have different strengths and weaknesses, so you can't say one is categorically better than the other. DCT has uniform frequency resolution, which sounds desirable but isn't once you start quantizing due to ringing, etc. See slide 25 or so of [1]. Wavelets overcome this problem by adapting the resolution in opposite ways at the extremes. This works fantastic for medium signal rates, but can have severe low passing at low rates. For low rate coding DCT with the bells and whistles (deblocking, etc) will typically win.

It's generally recognized as impossible to predict crashes in advance. If a given crash could be predicted in advance, people wouldn't wait until the deadline to sell off their stuff, they'd sell it right now until the price crashed to the predicted level. The same way that the butterfly effect prevents long term weather predictions, the fact that the market can see economic predictions means that all crashes that occur are ones that weren't generally predicted.

Now, there's the Great Recession that got going in 2008 which economists should be embarrassed about not seeing as a consequence of the crash of 2006, but we all know that economists don't agree much about macro stuff. By contrast, the effect of patents is all microeconomic. And microeconomics is the part of economics that is actually generally understood and agreed upon by professionals.
That still seems easier than convincing the world to use a new calendar (we still can't convince the world to use the same calendar everywhere).
Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.

Factual’s location platform enriches mobile location signals with definitive global data, enabling personalized and contextually relevant mobile experiences. Built from billions of inputs, the data is constantly updated by Factual’s real-time data stack. We were recently named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Facebook, Yelp, Trulia, and Newsweek.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience . If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop.

"The government needs legal process—such as a subpoena, court order or search warrant—to force Google to disclose user information."

Well, as long as we know that the NSA has installed hardware at their "partner" companies, the main questions about the degree of access to private user data seem answered to me.
Buried it? It's plain as day in her own story. Your characterization as "14 paragraphs" sure is dishonest considering the size of her "paragraphs" that are broken up only to make it more readable. Sure, it's not the headline but nor should it be. It's irrelevant if he travels to China or Korea. China and Korea are not equivalent to Afghanistan or Nigeria. And frankly even travel to those places shouldn't warrant a warrantless parade of police into your house.

Terrible reporting. It's unlikely that Google searches are the reason.

1. There's no confirmation that Google searches led to the visit, yet the article reports it as fact (headline).

2. Most if not all Google searches are encrypted over HTTPS nowadays.

3. It's local law enforcement, and while NSA info may be shared, it's unlikely that an illegal top secret NSA program targeting citizens would be shared in this manner, 100 times a week.

4. As user declan noted, the more likely cause is other information PUBLICLY SHARED ON FACEBOOK, such as this image one of them posted of high-powered fireworks: https://plus.google.com/112961607570158342254/posts/FWAVRVaN...

Yahoo Deliverability problems
We use 2 different IP addresses to send our insurance newsletter to. All of our subscribers are at least single opt-in, some are double opt-in (we did not purchase our list). We use Sendgrid as our ESP and send between 10k-20k emails a day. We have returnpath certification and keep a senderscore in the 75-85 range. We use MX toolbox and are not/have not been on any blacklists that we know of. Also, we have feeback loops set up through Sendgrid

We inbox well with our hotmail/live/msn/org/edu/comcast subscribers. However, we are having major deliverability issues with Yahoo.

Few questions - Do you think we should segment out our Yahoo subscribers and only send messages to them 1 time per week? Or is it ok to send to them everyday? (we do not send to the same subscriber everyday)

Any information would be helpful thank you
The problem is that most researchers are employed. The inventions are thus property of their employer.
Honestly that guy was not convincing at all. He pointed out how some journalists refused his request to ask apple about the address uploading issue and then completely speculated on the reasons why... then went on to makeup some BS reason as to why AllThingsD can criticize apple while still remaining in contact with him. After being in litigation with apple, this guy is clearly biased. If you read the comments people point out his agenda.

>This was in a "cheap", "plastic" 2006 Hyundai Accent.

This brings back memories of high school. I was driving a massive boat...a Pontiac Parisian station wagon (thank you grandpa). I was stopped at a light with a car in front of me and a car in back. I saw a truck barreling down in my rearview and knew he wasn't paying attention. I heard the screech of brakes as he slammed the car behind me with enough force to hit me and launch my wagon into the car in front of me...a cheap plastic Hyundai as I recall.

Anyway, the hood of the car behind me was totaled, and the rear of the Hyundai in front of me was demolished. My slab of Detroit steel was untouched. Even the steel bumper was perfect, -both the front and rear had a thin band of rubber running horizontally across. The rear rubber band was slightly deformed for a couple of square inches. That was it. I remember the cop just looking at it shaking his head :) I still think back to that transfer of force and almost can't believe it.
Thanks. Now that we are in a subthread I guess it's no longer off-topic to say that I'd be happy to answer any questions about it. :) (Or email me -- email in HN bio).

Interesting that they chose this approach. At Myna we normally squish data through the logistic function to rescale (if necessary) and then use a beta model. The beta model expects binary observations but you either interpret fractional observations as the probability of a weighted coin flip, or just do fractional updates to the beta. Both worked about the same in my tests. (This difference is mainly due to our different approaches A/B testing. Both are fairly textbook.)

The more interesting question, to me, is how you get credible intervals. I'm assuming you just MCMC 'em up, but it would be nice if there was a more computationally efficient trick.
> Do you think those who wish to do you harm don't want to exponentially increase that count? If various groups could get a nuclear warhead or dirty bomb, do you really believe they wouldn't use it? If they could sabotage a major city's water supply or a nuclear power plant, do you think that would be below them?

Of course no one thinks those things. That's a straw man. There are a number of people who would be quite delighted to do each of those things. Everyone knows that.

But you're acting as if we're standing at that precipice--as if requiring narrow warrants to tap search histories will all of the sudden enable these people to obtain and deploy a nuclear bomb.

And the fact of that matter is: such events are unprecedented. There have not been hundred-thousand-death terrorist acts. You raise the possibility of them, but evidence suggests that it's actually very hard to pull off, and has been for a very, very long time, independent of various changes in surveillance technology and law.

IF (and it's a big if) terrorist attacks were to increase sharply in response to a strict interpretation of wiretapping laws, why couldn't we just deal with it at that time? Why do you want to deal with it now? The terrorism rates could increase 100x before even registering as a public health issue.

You're like someone who won't go on a date because they're worried about getting a divorce. Yes, sure, it's a possibility, but it's a long ways down the line, and we will have ample opportunities to try and solve each specific challenge along the way.
Yes, but this fact needs a lot less attention than the state we're currently in, given the ignorance and resulting apathy of the general public.
Also, forcing individual _taxpayers_ to sort trash really keeps environmentalism in the forefront of voters' minds, which I imagine makes it much easier to keep environment-friendly legislation and public works projects going.

It would sure keep it in the forefront of my mind, but not in the way I think you'd like! More: "How can I get rid of the politicians who force me into this menial waste of time?"

I will happily pay in taxes whatever the added processing costs are for allowing me to continue to use Cambridge's terrific "single stream" system, which allows for an astonishing range of waste in a single bin. It doesn't cover the hazardous stuff like batteries and CFLs, but you can make that easier, too, without requiring individuals to maintain bins for 5 different varieties of plastic.
Hands on with the Moto X
They might be using Squid, which was the cache server of choice in the mid-2000s in the porn industry and was heavily used.
Ask HN: What is the most upvoted story ever on HN?
You can see the best recent story, but I'm curious about most upvotes of all time.
> I don't know but I assume that part of the reason that Swedes are able to deal effectively with the trash is that they sort it properly at the source, so that they more easily can process it.

Nope, you can burn unsorted garbage. The reason for sorting is so you can recycle materials instead of putting it in a incinerator.
Really? I thought their whole "Hello, Moto" campaign was along these lines. Not sure how "hip" or "young" it was... or this one for that matter. But I know lots of "unhip, unyoung" people that still drop a TWSS almost daily.
Big company decides to pull a grassroots-focused marketing campaign. Picks an inappropriate venue. Backs off.

Is fb, for example, a more appropriate venue, selling likes and all that? They explicitly allow sponsored posts that appear to have been made by friends. I think the marketing person figured that stack overflow was similar to fb for nerds. Whoops.
In for one with access to the SDK.
Sure :)

EDIT to reply below:

There is research (that I won't find now, I am busy) that families with natural born sons (not girls, for some unknown reason) have much lower divorce rates too, and across several cultures, suggesting it is something biological.

This of course, is not possible in a homosexual couple... But I think that beside that, there are several other biological systems to ensure a heterosexual couple reproduces and take care of their child until it can reproduce too.
This is just my personal experience but I was in a similar situation.

I dropped out of high school to do web application development. Tried going to a technical college to get some kind of degree while working full time and I eventually had to choose work or go to school.

I chose to work. I was making $100k+ by the time I was 19 and kept advancing my career steadily. To this day probably 90% of the jobs I've applied to haven't questioned the fact that I do not have a degree, it's all about ability and what I have done. Startups make up that other 10% - even though I now have 10 years (i'm 27) of professional, proven development experience I've experienced a lot of apprehension in interviews because I didn't go to college.

So there is definitely some upside financially, but also you may not be able to land your dream job one day because you lack the college experience.
> I read it to say that GCC is so open source that it cannot converge on a stable release. Further there isn't a non-commercial (aka free) incentive for making it stable, so it doesn't converge.

I don't see how not having a LTS version supports that argument. Lack of support for previous versions doesn't really imply anything about the stability of the past, present, or future releases. I think they're mostly orthogonal concepts.

That this version is not available right at launch sucks, but it's not like they can just dictate to carriers whatever they want.

They probably had to make some concessions (like the AT&T exclusive on the designs) to get the phone in the front of every store. They obviously want to go mainstream with that device, and for that you need the cooperation of all the big carriers. (and thats probably not so easy considering that it took Apple years to get its iPhone sold by most carriers)
