Exactly. This divorce isn't because of the DNA test, we can say that much. Pinning blame to it seems to me like it glosses over far too much missing detail.
Seniors and the generation spending gap
It's updated without need for iTunes for the past several years, IIRC.
Do you remember what a Creative Nomad Jukebox actually looked like around 2001? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQaplenaBl4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR5hPd_inno

Existing MP3 players offered a pretty rough user experience; the iPod was a pleasure to use in comparison. Largely the same was true of iPhone as compared to existing smartphones. The first generations of iPod and iPhone also had hardware that was strikingly attractive and even more important, ready for prime time: well able to meet the needs of their software and of the use cases they were designed for. The Apple Watch has lovely fit and finish but looks portly and awkward, and faces serious questions on the basic criterion of battery life. The UI looks promising, but from what there is to see so far it doesn't look as if it's going to blow Android Wear out of the water. (The "digital crown" looks promising, though!)

Moreover, even without a second 5GB of storage or wireless, the iPod had a compelling "value proposition" that was soon clear to everyone, even if it wasn't immediately clear to CmdrTaco: "portable MP3 player that doesn't suck". What's the comparable pitch for the first-gen Apple Watch; what does it offer that feels like a must-have, rather than a nice-to-have, and which you can't do fairly well using your smartphone?

None of this is to say that the Watch is terrible, or will fail, or will never amount to anything. But the CmdrTaco analogy seems clearly inaccurate to me at this stage.
These restrictions would stymie innovation as well as take the devices out of the hands of the less-affluent, no bueno.

Bloatware has some good it brings, this good just doesn't have an affect on me.

Similar to taxes, I pay a ton of them and don't really get anything back aside from so-so roads. Where someone who is in a bit worse spot sees a lot of benefits from those taxes. It's something I accept as necessary, but I still do everything I can to keep them as low as possible.

But I don't go around blaming the Federal gov't because California taxes me higher than Washington would. Instead of proposing the feds restrict what can and can't be taxed, I could just move to Washington. The choice is mine! FREEDOM FTW! ;P
This suggests that they gained access by some mechanism other than having the legit password.
Because at the end of the day your code is your code, and you do have copyright on it, and in a number of cases are or should be legally allowed to profit off of it.

Especially when you bought it under a license [1] that allows you to do so

Not only large datasets, but the elasticity of a community to revisit old ideas from a new angle. Computer vision has been very good in this regard overall, though there were some dark times (https://www.facebook.com/yann.lecun/posts/10152034328862143).
I'd be surprised if Australia wasn't one of the first countries to get it; we've for a long time had very technologically advanced banks that are often years ahead of the US. Last I heard cheques were still used by most people to transfer money in the states, is that still the case? I've grown so used to being able to instantly transfer money to anyone for free from my phone that I can't imagine how tedious having to use cheques would be.
Where's the downvote button? I was unaware hacker news supported down voting.
Berg has for a while explored speculative product experiences in the vein of Dunne & Raby (1) - though being design consultants, Berg's work tends to be optimistic. D&R embrace the dystopian aspects of future products, and I think they'd enjoy this conversation that's cropped up around what happens when connected objects lose their parents. (Especially when the objects are personified!) Hopefully Berg appreciates their inadvertent final contribution as well.

Does the Internet of Things need a federated model to be as trustworthy and successful as Internet classic?

"If $300 sounds to much for a fashion item, it's probably not for you."

Fair enough, but i have to say, I feel like i'm taking crazy pills here.
So apple releases it and suddenly it's a fashion item to have a clunky, square watch.
Just a few short months ago, i was reading nytimes articles about the current crop of smartwatches saying "'They’re just not that attractive,' said Mr. Dawson, 'they are all clunky and square'"

But now suddenly it's a fashion item to have a clunky, square watch?

(I understand fashion is fickle, but this is really really fickle :P)
Not sure if serious, They have been selling skin packs on x360 since it launched.

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Skin#Skin_Packs
Would it make more sense to include some sensible default configuration (i.e, have it run on port 80)?
A rescindable offer worse than a deadline, because the deadline is unpredictable.
Two words: Universal Identity. That's the killer use-case that everyone is missing. The Apple Watch has an NFC-chip, internet connection, and an API-- this is going to happen. (They've already announced a partnership with W Hotels for the Watch to replace keycards in rooms.)

I think this would be super-convenient in the short-term but seems very worrisome in the long-term. My watch/phone/drivers-license is NOT me, and the more we rely on a single-point for authentication, the greater the potential for abuse and theft. More solutions need to be created.

They actually gave all 7 the therapy. There were controls
but it wasn’t really random assignment. They definitely
need to do a larger study to look into it more (which
they will), but it seems promising as a pilot study.
Now I'm imagining Larry Ellison as a "freak beast weightlifter". Thanks.
Ah, I see. I've only used ZFS on FreeBSD so I guess I'm missing out. Thanks.
To prevent MITM attacks, Service Workers _require_ HTTPS. HTTPS isn't as accessible as unencrypted HTTP and self signed certs trigger user scarring warning messages. I do think HTTPS is better for privacy to an extent, but unless people can get signed certs for cheaper than their domain name, part of me feels like were only allowing additional web functionality for those able to afford SSL certs. Of course, cheap certs makes this argument null and void. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Also, I think it's been shown that the overhead of encryption isn't that expensive these days.
Now that Apple has gone public with it, they may be able to start submitting paperwork to FDA, partnering with other companies in a more open way, etc.

It's hard to build a huge ecosystem/etc. for something that was just a rumor, without that competitive cover being blown.
What if they're actually trying to triple-click?

There are many good reasons to limit users and user interactions to the appropriate existing context. A "double-click" is a Windows metaphor and not a Web metaphor and should ignored if not actively discouraged. I have nothing against Windows but it's simply not appropriate to extend its behavior to the web.
I didn't know that. Very cool!
If Web Development Met the DMV
My thought was to have CoreOS run the systemd cron job for update_engine even when booting off of PXE, but to proxy[0] through corepxe (the jawn I'm trying to write). This way I can MITM the request and make the request on behalf of the host from corepxe, and take advantage of how omaha[1] works by returning the appropriate status code and downloading in the background.

In every case someone has said "X is better!" And in every case so far that X has turned out to maybe have some particular features, or better stats for some particular stat, but not to be engineered to the level of the Apple product.

Apple has turned out some turkeys in its time, but people only seem to remember the highlights.

I haven't seen anything innovative from Google since 2001

That's some powerfully strong blinders you've willingly put on there. And calling maps part of Gmail? Seriously?

> At the same time, Mr. Nadella has said Microsoft views videogames as a way to expand the company's footholds in PCs and mobile phones.

Really? The company that owns Windows feels that it doesn't have enough foothold on PCs? Really? If Nadella is talking about PC gaming, then I get it. I find it difficult to believe that they are serious about it. Remember that Games for Windows thing that Microsoft epically failed to act on?

They don't need to buy game studios, they could do fabulously by releasing old Xbox exclusives on PC. If they released that Halo Collection on PC, I'd buy it right away.
So my interpretation of how this works is that there's a server at api.iflix.io[1] which acts as (caching?) torrent client, and the browser just streams from that server. Seems like it probably won't last very long due to copyright issues, and/or will have very high bandwidth costs?

You can use it to download arbitrary torrent files by modifying the URL. For example, a changed link[2] downloads an Ubuntu ISO.

So there's no peer-to-peer work done by client-side javascript. (The server is written in NodeJS.)

Is there any proof that any of this is real?

Since we don't know who Satoshi Nakamoto is, there is no way to prove whether identity theft occurred to this person.

Whoever has control of certain accounts is, for all intents and purposes, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Someone who jumps up and down claiming that he is the real Satoshi who has been locked out from those accounts and subject to extortion could be the real one, or could be a liar.

There is no way to know whether the incident took place at all, or if it did take place, which of the two people are the real one.

It could be a complete hoax perpetrated by a single person, or two people, any of whom may or may not be Satoshi Nakamoto. The real Satoshi Nakamoto could also be a group of people to begin with. Or a very clever dog.
Really impressive. I remember lots of attempts at this a while ago but no real success.
I'm old enough to remember to spell, and remember when the first Mac came out.

The response has always been the same; one segment pointing out problems, another pointing out how "visionary" the new thing is.

If you are as old as you claim to be, and still fall foul of corporate machinations - then "sucks to be you". Next you'll tell us what your current corporate master told you to say.

There a many things wrong with what you wrote; the most glaring is: "haven't seen anything innovative from Google since 2001".

Later you go on to say, "unless you count gmail".

1. gmail wasn't released until 2004

2. the whole thing called "ads" wasn't available until 2001.

3. Android copied iOS. Which copied Windows. Which copied MacOS. Which copied GEM. Which copied x/PARC. Someone once said "good artists copy, great artists steal".

4. I guess you keep missing the news about Google's moonshot project (loom, wing, self-driving cars).

If you feel condemmed to define yourself by the applications and services that a particular company makes available (be it Google or Microsoft, or Apple), please understand that you are a shill.

Refactoring vs. Re-architecting vs. Redesign vs. Rewriting
Chicken, egg. Maybe these things are easy because they are crucial to survival (and everything that was bad at recognizing these signs died), not due to being easier for simple visual processes.
These were my thoughts too when watching the presentation.

The ironic thing here is that Android Wear seems to be the simpler solution. Android Wear is an extension of your phone - a way to process information on your wrist.

Apple Watch seems to be another way to interact. They mentioned glanceable information as somewhat of a footnone during the presentation (although their implementation seems pretty good). They mostly seemed to focus on additional communication tools, an image viewer, setting up navigation on your watch, having "apps" on your watch. With Apple Watch there is a lot more going on than just contextual information.

Because of that Apple Watch seems to have more features. Those features may make it more useful, but they also might not. Those features do seem to make Apple Watch a more complicated solution. It's hard to see which of these properties make one better over the other, but it's interesting to see the approaches are really quite different.
I hope they resurrect 0x10c
First, there's not much (if anything) they have gotten off of Samsung about these devices

I have a black Samsung Galaxy S3. I held it up against the image of the iPhone 6, and they're barely different. The s3 has slightly bowed sides, and the two phones have a home button with a different shape. Oh, and the Apple phone doesn't have 'Samsung' written on the front (I haven't seen an image of the back, so you never know...)

I'd love for Samsung to turn around and sue them back on this design issue.
I'm with you. I love my iPhone, but it will be a cold day in hell before my wrist sports one of these.

That said, I'm certainly interested to see where it will go - especially, as someone else said - once watchmakers start dealing in tech rather than tech-makers dealing in watches.
No touch ID though, that's still on the phone so.... I'm guessing payments won't be as useful on the watch, if present at all.
I suspect that many here actually subscribe to WSJ, the NY Times, the Economist, and other common paywalled newspapers and magazines that get submitted here.

I don't see why they should be forbidden from discussing that material here just because some of us might have trouble seeing it. Enough people apparently CAN read them for them to get lots of comments, lots of up votes, and get a lot of people "liking" them on Feedly (this story seems to be the most liked non-Apple submission today on the main RSS feed).

Also, in most of these discussions of paywalled stories, other sources pick up on the news fairly quickly. There are dozens within the last hour reporting on this particular one. None have as much detail as the WSJ article, but many give enough information to allow one to reasonably follow the discussion here and participate meaningfully.
ihim :), it would be cool if you would watch a movie, not download an ubuntu iso :)
ZZLBox/Furk have been doing something similar for a long time for real bandwidth costs on their side. If the DMCA had the authority they wished they had, Pirate Bay wouldn't exist.

I would like to hear the answer to your other question though. It looks like a marriage between the iflix server and your own connection with most bandwidth being put on your side.
I don't think you can backsolve for Sapir-Whorf.

Of extraordinary social and technological importance. I work in technology, and shifts in mobile technology have significant impacts on my life.

Has anyone compared this to rudder (https://coreos.com/blog/introducing-rudder/)?
Maybe during the event but every other day while your out working out and such? I don't know about you, but I don't know any cyclist that leaves home without his phone. Heck it comes down to what not to take beyond a few certain requirements. // 2 tubes, pump, money, id, phone, water, energy gels (yuck), rain cover //

If I am short riding, as in I could walk home, the phone still goes with me. However I see no use for the watch. I have a simple comp on the handlebars, maybe I could stick the watch there?

While I disagree with your premise as the phone is there anyway, I see the watch more as Starbucks wear than anything else.
But minecraft already released on ps4. Unlesss MS buys and takes back the minecraft of ps4, there is no exclusivity.

True.

Unless you planned on a Minecraft 2. The brand name, the look and feel and the concepts within the game are still worth a lot.

No, I mean who cares what Steve Jobs would do? He's gone. It doesn't matter.

My biggest take away is that Apple has failed to advance the state of the art in any meaningful way here. I guess hype is always hype, but people really expected that Apple would do something that would knock this out of the park - a week long battery life, a flexible watch face, or a bracelet style 360 degree screen or something else that would just reset the whole space. It didn't happen. This device may sell well (or not) but it's basically a peer to the current entrants in this space, not a generation ahead like many people expected.
The web server has stopped responding. More details about the project here: http://www.pugo.org/project/pshttpd/
Given everything I've read from Notch in the last year or two, I would be highly unsurprised if he wasn't pushing this as a way to dump his hands of anything to do with business and/or notoriety (as much as he ever will be able to). His recent sentiments have expressed a lot of regret that he is no longer able to spend his time doing simple game programming & experimentation with a decent level of obscurity -- and I can't blame him for it. This is wild speculation, of course.
If those firms couldn't foresee a resolution ratio change "sometime in the future", that their own fault for not being on top of their game.
WSJ does have a very good track record on rumors (disclaimer: MS employee but with no knowledge at all on whether this is true or not, and no opinion about it).
I Always Seem to Be “Two Weeks from Launch”
Ah that makes sense. I knew I was missing something but wasn't sure what. Thanks.
I'll be brutally honest - dishonest people will always pay for their misbehavior. Lies and secrets always get uncovered. Smart people always think decades ahead. Decades ago, it was clear that DNA testing will be daily business, so, simply, you're gonna pay for doing things without thinking, sorry. That's how it should be anyway. When you do genetic testing, you need to be smart enough to understand what it could reveal to you - both positive and negative. But, hey, let's sue and ban services like 23andMe just because stupid people do stupid things! Like it's not a harm already to us already that FDA removed health information (well, for new customers, at least) from 23andMe. What I cannot get is why health information is not allowed even for new customers abroad who are not a subject of worries for FDA? Things like this will force innovative companies in the field to move outside of highly and insanely regulated United States where people, for example, remove their breasts just because Angelina Jolie told them so! I am talking in general, not about this specific article. All my family members have 23andMe testing during the early days and still have access to the health information (although it doesn't seem like it's being actively updated). There's http://www.snpedia.org/ and http://www.promethease.com/ that kinda feel that gap now. Anyway, I've go immense value out of 23andMe, found out a lot of health information about me and my family and I'm afraid that stupidity of some can lead to negative consequences in this area! In your personal life, at least, be open and honest, it prevents cancer, and it makes you immune to certain types of "discoveries"! It's that simple!
I guess it appears only if you have a certain amount of karma.
....porn startup. All the porn torrents online. Bangbros, Brazzers, people would just use this technoogy to start that...can we still get into the current YC batch? lmao
That seems reasonable, however I am not super familiar with how update_engine works. Likely your solution will work provided you setup your image to install itself to disk and boot from there.

Digital circuits? I mean, it is just some matrix multiplies and a nonlinearity (then stack to the moon). No "circuitry" is really involved until you get into recurrent networks, and even then that is just feedback. Not quite sure what you mean here.

There have been experiments trying to encode information the way the brain does, they just haven't worked very well (or at least not as well).

There is equivalency with PCA (well ZCA, a modified form of PCA) in cat and monkey brains, and likely others as well. See Sejnowski and Bell in [1]

Also, PCA is an affine transform, so there is no reason it couldn't be incorporated/learned by the net itself. In fact, I think most nets these days eschew PCA/ZCA when they have sufficient data support.

To clarify for others, this type of neural network has nothing to do with the brain. A neural network is really a "universal function approximator", and I actually prefer to call it as such. Our goal is to learn the best possible mapping of input -> label, through whatever means necessary. It turns out that learning hierarchies of features helps from both a learning aspect and a computational point of view. But a sufficiently wide single layer could do the same thing in theory.

Well, both Google and WSJ are blocked for me.
Well, the thing is that this will work as a storage space with streaming capabilities what you put there is your problem, in short terms some kind of loophole in some countries can be found, the bandwidth is not a problem, solutions can be found there.
>Apple has clearly put a lot more thought into how interactions on a device

How are we measuring "more thought" now? Mega-Turings?

I think this statement is very unfair to Android Wear. A non-biased look shows some pretty innovative aspects at work and a usable design. Its also really unfair to claim that you know all about the Apple Watch when no one has one yet people have been using AW for months.
Ok now I'm not sure which aspect you're talking about.

Because in the physical world the friction is not "oh I need a card" it's physically getting the customer in the door. Otherwise, what's involved is needing merchants to have NFC readers. This might be an exciting new thing in the US, but certainly in my neck of the woods NFC has near universal penetration.

In the virtual world...this problem has been solved over and over and over. I'd argue it would be very surprising to see Apple displace Paypal. Everyone has Paypal - very few people (relatively) will have ApplePay.
Perhaps this is why Apple never embarrassed NFC. Doing NFC based payments requires terminal upgrades while credit card companies are already rolling out their own version of no-touch payments.
Don't worry, they'll get it all straightened out and start giving more to young than the old when I finally become a senior.
If you think that's bullshit, you're not considering all the possible factor, or don't understand how a decades-old marriage works: through lots of compromises, that people sometimes feel unhappy about, but not enough to risk what they've gotten used to.

So maybe the mother had felt (probably for years) that the father wasn't appreciating her enough. And now he's making more effort to connect with this unknown child than he's spent on his wife and other children in years... suddenly the pent-up dissatisfaction comes out into the open, grievances are aired and people say hurtful things that make reconciliation impossible...
Not at this time, as it is potential core profit center :)
