Probably because the former used to be a relatively simple one-man job that required just a screwdriver and some basic car mechanic skills to do; the latter requires some more organisation, a truck, multiple people, etc.
It's an excellent example of content providers seeking something for nothing from creative professionals (most of whom are self-employed, so it's relevant to many HN readers). This is unfortunately an increasing norm in the digital era.

That's a line from the song "Ice, Ice, Baby" by Vanilla Ice. So it is no wonder it spooked you.

I've used technical books to learn (or rather, improve my grasp of) a different language. Learning from nonfiction books is difficult because the vocabulary and grammar is usually quite advanced. A lot of the concepts found in technical books are already familiar to the reader so that reading them, even in another language, turns out to be much easier.
To be honest, "our cars are very reliable but they're likely to get stolen" isn't very good advertising, :p.
Well, with modern car immobilisers you can't bypass them or break them, because they're built right into the ECU that runs the spark plugs and whatnot.

There's not really an equivalent for that in bicycles - a vital electronic component that, if removed, makes the bike unusable. Sure, you can get a bike tracker on ebay, but if trackers were making a significant dent in bicycle theft, thieves would just look for them and remove or disable them. For trackers to get a signal the antennas have to be exposed, making it a simple enough matter to put a nail through the patch antenna.
Last time I checked, even AMD's Brazos were better than Intel's offering.

> are there boot orders that put USB first?

There was a time when I noticed it was getting more common and looked to be destined to be the default option, I assume it went back to being less common as people complained about it being inconvenient when they left a stick in that just happened to have a valid boot signature.

Modern chipsets have a nice convenient "press <key> for boot menu" which makes having the boot order right for anything other than the business-as-usual option (SATA first) easy to access anyway.
Not just bicycles, other sports equipment could be protected by such anti-theft devices (maybe even at the discretion of the owner). Are there any such tracking bugs already on the market?
Why not write the product in language X and then make it extensible via language Y?

Well... For one it wouldn't be the emacs of window managers.

If you want to go the full mile, you should go the full mile. Trying to do half a mile subset and hoping it is the right subset gets tiresome pretty quickly.

I deeply respect them for doing it this way.
I also like that and agree it's the perfect way of expressing the perception.
They might specialize in other drugs like cocain, heroin, MDMA, etc. This kind of drugs may never be legalized and there will probably still be people buying it. But it might harder to enter in this market as people selling it are often quite organized and violents (apart maybe the last seller on the chain).

Dalvik and ART both generate native code. ART does it at app install time and Dalvik, being a JIT, does it at app runtime.
He was speculating about quality of the generated native code, not its existence.

Google has been very quiet about ART generated code quality. I haven't found any benchmarks that would compliment its performance either. It's probably better than Dalvik but worse than mature optimizing compilers.
Out of interest - how much vetting and background checks do Uber do on their drivers? I was under impression that the heavy regulation of taxis was at least in-part to protect the safety of drivers from maniacs/rapists/etc, and the medallion system ensured that there drivers were registered and checked.

Does Uber have a similar process? I mean I'm all for deregulation of a broken/corrupt system, but protecting people's safety is paramount - perhaps Uber/Lyft do need to be regulated at least in part, just not with the currently over-regulated (?) system.
Copyright Law is getting out of Hand
* You must drive a cab 800 hours per year in order to own a medallion.*

This is 16 weeks of 5-day 10-hour shifts, and about one-third of the existing medallions are pre-Proposition K medallions that do not have a driving requirement. However, the medallions are in valid 24 hours a day.

I didn't say there was a mandatory 10 year requirement for driving a cab, that would be silly. However, there is a 10+ year waiting list for a person to get their own medallion, which promotes them out of the gate-and-gas rat race.
A more comprehensive test data would be awesome.

>It's well known that the federal government simply DOES NOT pay market rate for talent. Now it is able to get away with that behavior in sectors (cough, banking) where there's consistent regulatory capture: so you're incentivized to spend some years at the government to learn how the system works, and then parlay that into a higher pay job subverting those systems.

Notably, the SEC is exempt from the usual Federal government pay scales, so they do actually pay a lot better than other parts of the government. Still not really enough to compare to equivalent private sector salaries though.

No. The New York Times make native advertising very clear. For example: http://paidpost.nytimes.com/netflix/women-inmates-separate-b...

A special "paidpost" subdomain, "PAID POST" at the top of the page, and the name of the sponsor is stickied to the top as you scroll.

Namedropping a company into a story (which is almost certainly not happening here) would be payola or product placement neither of which are anything like native advertising.
It is worth noting that this is likely to be an iOS-on-AArch64 specific tweak. Apple doesn't do this on x64 OS X (right?).

Furthermore, nothing has been said (AFAIK) about similar tricks Google is doing with Android on AArch64 or 64 bit architectures in general. From what I've heard they just made the Android runtime capable of emitting AArch64 (and x64, MIPS64) instructions instead of 32-bit ARMv7 ones.

That alone gives plenty of a performance boost as AArch64 instructions are supposedly quite a bit faster than the old 32-bit ones. It remains to be seen though whether Google can make as much use of clever allocation tricks as much as Apple can: Android is much more platform agnostic and uses a garbage collector for some of these tasks.
Originally, Uber drivers weren't insured to drive passengers at all, so their car insurance was void and they were effectively driving uninsured. They didn't change this until the media and the police got wind of it. Even now, there are issues with drivers being uninsured when they're driving around looking for customers but don't have someone in the car.
Implementing Enterprise Mobility? Answer these before evaluating vendor options
I remember reading a long while ago that the accords were stolen for their engines. Supposedly, they would be swapped into a civic of a similar vintage and this caused a huge demand and skyrocketed the value. However I can't seem to find the source to verify that.
That's interesting because there's been a rise recently in London where people plug a computer into a car to disable the alarm and start the engine..

Yes. What's really worked for GDS is having some political clout. You can assemble the best technical team in the world, but if they don't have the ability to push back hard against some of the entrenched resistance to change in most government departments then they can't achieve anything.

I hope the US DS is similarly well endowed with political might.
And the "lot(s) of work to replace a car" can be offset by a large enough insurance payment.

Wrapping your head around mobile app analytics
More popular or more visible?
I would argue that software is NOT very different. In fact, it's still exactly the same, just wrapped in new words.

The entire web is still client/server. Web apps? Client / server. Databases? Client / server. Just because more apps now insist on having a server to store data instead of making use of the microcomputer that they're running on doesn't change the fact that the last 25 years has been a reinvention of the same concepts again and again.

And even when "Rich Internet Applications" was the craze of the 90s, that was still just client/server, the concept that 70s mainframes had been coping with - they were servers and served clients.

Sure, there are loads more programming languages now instead of the choice of C and C++ (and maybe Delphi?) for Windows in the 1990s but underneath it is still doing the same.
Apart from now we have intermediate virtual machines and CLRs to intercede, perhaps unnecessarily?
Robin Williams' Death Reveals How Hard It Can Be To Climb Out Of Depression
Service providers gaining new levels of customer intelligence using big data
I did a ride-along with a cop outside of Boston about 12 years ago. His car had a laptop attached to the dashboard, an innovation that only started appearing in the 1990s. One thing that he was able to do was instantly look up the plate on a vehicle without having to radio it in -- and the lookup interfaced with what I assume was an updated database of stolen cars.

Another technological innovation he mentioned was the positive effect of the Lo-Jack stolen vehicle recovery system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoJack). It not only instantly sends stolen vehicle information to police systems, but also activates a beacon on the stolen vehicle which specially equipped cruisers can detect and follow.

I imagine innovations such as these impacted the theft rate over the past 25 years, and also helped law enforcement agencies identify and arrest serial offenders responsible for large numbers of thefts. Didn't see it mentioned in the NYT article, though.
How about RFID chips built inside the frame. Then your town would make hidden readers, placed around the city (close to cameras), that could alert authorities of a reported stolen bicycle being ridden. Make the thieves pay a hefty fine to recouporate some of the expense of the system.
I have seen people in my neighbourhood (Bermondsey in London, UK) struggling with luggage twice, luggage that was clearly far too much for them to carry on their own. Both times I offered to help them take it from the train station to wherever they were going. The first time the man accepted my help, the second time the woman politely declined.

Even the first time I detected an uneasiness, partly because we were strangers of course, but also I got the sense that the man was very wary of putting on me at all. Perhaps because people like not having obligations towards their neighbours it feels wrong to accept help and thus set up an expectation of reciprocisity. Maybe this then leads to not offering help because it is assumed it will be refused?

London is a particularly atomised place of course, back home I think I would have got a very different response.

If you want to reduce bicycle theft in the US, the solution is simple: drastically increase the penalties for perpetrators. Get caught stealing a bike? One year in jail. Adjust until the level of theft is where you want it to be.

Stealing a bike is not just taking $300 or whatever from the owner. It's robbing that cyclist and would-be cyclists of the confidence to use their preferred mode of transportation, and deteriorating their health in the long term. This is a lot more damaging than non-cyclists often intuit, and insurance cannot cover it. The penalty for stealing bicycles should be closer to the penalty for stealing a car and intentionally injuring someone. Currently it's close to zero.

Oh yeah, they "addressed" that all right. pg argued it was OK that a company they'd supported and helped fund was paying software makers to bundle unwanted software into installers and tricking users into installing it by, amongst other techniques, disguising the prompt to install the crap as a EULA acceptance screen. (But hey, it's no big deal because the screen "has a decline as well as an accept button, and if the user declines, no software is installed" - doesn't matter that the decline button's carefully designed to make users think it'll cancel whatever installation they were actually intending to do.)
That daft "show shortcut letters when I press Alt" can be turned off so that Windows ALWAYS shows those underlined letters. Thank goodness. It is unusable else.

I would agree that X / Linux applications fail in this respect.

Also, Mac OSX by default will only tab between certain UI elements, and the option to force it to tab between all UI elements cannot be reached with the keyboard only, meaning if you start up without a mouse you can't turn on the relevant option to use it with a keyboard, with a keyboard...........

>> pass annual maintenance checks

> Not just any car can be an Uber. It’s a title reserved for safe, high-quality vehicles that are in exceptional condition. In the U.S., the average model year for vehicles on our platform is 2008, and none are from before 2004+.

That does not answer "pass annual maintenance checks". This literally says that it has 10 year old cars on the road that don't have to pass annual maintenance checks. Ouch.
So you would like the government to track the location and movement of all bicycles, each one tagged with the owner's ID?

Can't imagine anyone would object to that smart idea :)
The problem is that especially inside the EU, bikes are stolen almost in bulk, then loaded into trucks and taken outside the country - even if you get stopped at the border(which is super rare, thanks to the Schoengen zone), it's impossible to check the serial numbers of the bikes - if there are any databases, they are usually not ran by the police, and there are absolutely zero international databases for bikes. Eastern parts of EU are full of German, French, English bikes - where do you think they come from? I bet 90% of them were stolen, and the chance of recovering such bike is zero.

You can live in perfect health on close to zero fat intake.

I very much doubt that - quite the opposite, you can live in perfect health on close to zero sugar intake. In fact, there are essential amino acids, and there are essential fatty acids, so you can not live without either protein or fat. There's nothing like "essential sugars", however.

Sustained zero sugar/carb intake is extremely stressful for the body and sends catecholamine levels way up, accelerating aging.

I'm interested to see sources for "low carb accelerates aging" claim.
Sometimes not. Ireland used to have a very limited number of taxi licences (as they were called), that could be worth €80,000. Then they deregulated it and now anyone can get a licence for ~€250. There are now thousands of taxis during busy periods.

Qualcomm has 64b chips, but AFAIK there's no Android device using them in the wild. The HTC "A11" was announced yesterday and will apparently sport a Snapdragon 410, I don't know that other devices exist yet.

Of course there's no device using Denver in the wild either.
I'd slightly disagree here.

Wearable Technology Product Developers Top 3 Tips For Startups
Unfortunately, in many areas the existing minicab companies they're competing with do actually accomodate wheelchair users. So Uber and its funders are spending billions to try and replace services with ones that are less accessible for many. (With the amount invested and Uber's current market cap, their investors aren't going to be satisfied with mere coexistence - they need to dominate the market.)
What a peculiar design. They went for an in order design instead of the out-of-order design that has been standard in high-end ARM cores for years. Out-of-order usually brings more instructions per clock cycle ("more efficient"), but makes the chip more power hungry and makes it harder to achieve a high clock speed.

So the in-order design they have now allows them to scale up to 2.5 GHz which is very high for such a constrained chip. They also have this weird "code optimizer" that appears to sacrifice some RAM and a CPU core to dynamically reorganize processor instructions to run better on this in-order design. It seems as though they want to have their cake and eat it too, but at the same time they appear to paradoxically introduce complexity to achieve simplicity.

I wonder if someone more knowledgable about chip design could comment on this design?

If a new service comes along and is better enough than what came before that it upheaves the industry, I'm sorry, but you can't just regulate it away.
