You nailed it - "This is a watch that you will have to take off and RECHARGE for pete's sake.". No tech-watch company has yet advertized what the major benefit of the watch really is.

Don't misunderstand me - This is a beautiful device. I will go check it out in the Apple store just to see if I am missing some major use case that can help improve my productivity in a significant way. Till then, its just another add-on device for me.

A bad fit between company and employee is a risk for both of them. If you institute a system that reduces the risk of such an outcome, it helps both of them, in proportion to how much they were risking in the first place. If it helps the employer more than the employee, it's because the employer was risking more in the first place. (Something I'm not sure of - I've turned down cofounder positions with startups because after working with them for a week I realized I didn't really like the other founders, and then ended up doing far better than the startup did.)

The main problems I see with it are:

1.) How to recruit from companies with restrictive IP covenants or moonlighting clauses. There's no way Google would've let me do something like this when I was working for them, for example, and most companies would like the option of hiring ex-Googlers if they're interested.

2.) It eliminates the ability to check out many options in parallel, which is essential for negotiating a fair wage as an employee. A company can "test drive" many possible employees at once; a person can generally only work for one effectively.
Those two ideas are not even closely related.

Ouch. Stuff like this is just a confused deputy security vulnerability waiting to happen. Whenever I write code to fetch a resource based on user input (and a crawler following a link is a form of user input) I check to make sure I'm not going to fetch something on an internal network.

i think it's standard practice to call a linux distro an OS.

centos does it, so does debian ("the universal operating system"), and more recently, coreos.
Slightly drunk offtopic: I'd rather just nuke my passport and head to some other less-insane country than try to fight for basic income in this country. Fans of basic income have some very optimistic hopes.
Another explanation for color choices - the austere Jobs is no longer at the helm, it's Tim Cook, and Tim clearly wants to steer Apple into the fashion market - he recently hired many top execs from fashionable brands. Beats acquisition ties in as well - wearing Beats is more a fashion statement more than a technical selection.
Why didn't you just buy a Nexus? (i used to battle Android updates to, but it's not Google's fault... The Nexus proves that) (1st smartphone was a iPhone 3GS, the rest were all Androids)
The state of nutrition science is pathetic.

The science is conflicted over a simple question of fact -- whether or not a trivially measurable short-term effect occurs when you eat one of the most common food additives in the world.

If we can't even answer THIS -- it seems like it should be incredibly easy to answer -- I don't see why people can claim anything at all about diets and macronutrients.

Nutrition science needs a fundamental breakthrough and I don't know where it's going to come from but I desperately hope it happens quickly. Because a lot of people are suffering and dying of poor nutrition and we don't know basic things about what's good and bad for us.
I was struck by how similar some of those pictures - both of the old tenements and the new towers - looked to Hong Kong. Hong Kong seems to work quite well; a friend of mine who grew up there waxes lyrical about how wonderful a childhood spent on the streets in the sky was. Although she now lives in a detached house in a small town in Cambridgeshire, so i should take that with a pinch of salt.
I imagine that without realizing it, they are getting some bottom of the barrel talent using this process. Not sure which qualified person would look at this hiring practice and go through with it.
The solution is for all road-users to continuously adapt to what's happening around them. Folk who aren't capable of that shouldn't be allowed on the road.

Cyclists are not a problem. They are a group of road-users. Equally entitled to use the roads as every other legal road-user.
This appears to be more in line with http://dryel.com/ than what I consider traditional dry cleaning ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cleaning )
npm frustrates me to no end, so my knee jerk reaction to this is "No!"

Interesting idea though. However it's not an OS, it's using NPM as the OS's package manager.

Yeah. Some sort of nullpointerexceptions, I would imagine.
I am honestly unsure as to whether this a native advertisement.
The article's base premise of treating death by dangerous driving as an actual crime, would also fit the bill.
A watch is more jewellery than timekeeping appliance. Appearance and provenance/authenticity seem key. (You can tell this is the case, because people will spend thousands of dollars on wind-up watches that stop telling the time entirely after 2 days or whatever - even though they could instead have bought some cheap digital POS for £5, that will require adjusting about once a year.) And there's not much in the way of provenance for a computer-powered wristwatch from Apple... so the review focuses, and quite rightly I think, on what the watch looks like, and how it feels on the wrist.

The timekeeping aspect is purely secondary, since, thanks to modern technology, we know it will keep the time. My phone keeps the time, my laptop keeps the time, my TV keeps the time, my fucking oven keeps the time. Keeping the time is a solved problem.
A Linux distribution is an OS. Its an OS that shares considerable code and features with other related OS's, but that's true, e.g., of say "Windows" with respect to "Windows Server", which I think most people would agree are, in fact, OS's.

Perhaps I made a leap, as its a long discussion that could be had.

Would an employer be able to squeeze 3 weeks of work out of a potential candidate on their vacation unless the employee had no other choice? That to me is not how a labor market should function in a first-world country.

Dark Carnival, a sci-fi/fantasy bookstore in Berkeley had a cat. I used to love taking a break from classes a hanging out there, looking for new books and playing with the cat. Good times.
Exactly. In 2006, no one expected Apple to be in the business of making phones. And they never really wanted you to think of the iPhone as just a phone. It was more like an iPod that could make phonecalls and other magical things. They wanted to define a new product category, and they did. This isn't a watch, it's a way to see your iPhone all the time without pulling it out of your pocket; it's seeing all your notifications and looking good (as opposed to looking ridiculous like Google Glass).
"Had a look at him. Thought, 'Yep.' Gave him a few strokes, and thought he was a friendly lookin' cat. Held him for a wee while. Decided, 'Right. He's the one.' "

Nutrition hasn't much since I took some nutritional chemistry classes in college decades ago. It's still a very complex system which is almost impossible to study because you can't easily isolate different the different bits from each other. The only thing even less settled is how the brain operates and stores information.
Yeah, oftentimes you don't start getting benefits until it's over.
That's incorrect. At the most, you could only infer that it wasn't legally the driver's fault. There's a huge middle ground where fault won't be pinned on either side.

Given that the NodeOS homepage linked to the thread title lists as one of the few bits of information about NodeOS that it is "hosted on Github / open and easy to contribute to - pull request friendly", I think the fact that none of the projects at https://github.com/NodeOS have been updated since May is a likely sign that the effort is dead.
I know exactly what you're referring to.

The general strategy[1] is to make sure what you're designing fits into an existing design pattern. It should be rare for you to have a situation where you're not within the confines of a well-known, well-understood design pattern. The sooner you become familiar with patterns, the more rapidly solutions that fit those patterns will come about in your head. The solutions will also feel less ugly, since you're essentially still being conventional.

You should be able to describe, in English, what design pattern you're using to come up with a fix.

[1] I didn't say this was a perfect strategy, but I think it helps.[2]

[2] Well, it helps me anyway. :-)
Wow! thanks
This how you know when something becomes a commodity. Uber/Lyft/Taxi/Sidecar they will just be competing on price in the long run, since they all compete in a commoditized market, and the player with better ubiquity and infrastructure will ultimately win, because they will be able to cut prices in a way that smaller players won't be able to afford.
Even with mostly seperate lanes for cycles and cars there are so e places where they meet. Junctions is one example. A car turning off the road into another road may cross a cycle path. In that example the car is probably supposed to give way to pedestrians and cyclists on the cycle path / pavement.
Nice. Seems unlikely we could get it down to 2 points as numerals like 3 seem to require two distinct curves, but perhaps someone will try?
> But studies performed in Arizona, Minnesota and Hawaii suggest that drivers are at fault in more than half of cycling fatalities.

I'd be amazed if this were true in SF. I'm an avid cyclist, love biking around the city for fun or to commute, etc. The cause of most near crashes (and crashes) I've witnessed are idiot cyclists thinking it's ok to blow through stop signs or traffic lights, or to wildly cut across two lanes without signalling and expecting the entire universe to notice them and stop for them. When I'm driving, I'm hyper-aware of the stupidity I've seen when I'm biking and try to take that into account when cyclists are around, and I don't blame other motorists for getting pissed or even aggressive. Cyclists have this incredible double-standard...they want to use the road, but they don't want to share it. Sure, everyone who drives a car is an earth-destroying, gas-guzzling, roided out freak who's trying to kill you, but isn't that all the more reason to have some respect for everyone else on the road?

Granted, I've had my fair share of asshole drivers turn right in front of me without signalling or just merge into the bike line for no reason (prompting me to "gently" tap their car window). Hell, I've even had people run red lights and come within a foot of slamming into me, and I've been doored really bad by someone getting out of a taxi, but to be honest I'm as cautious around other cyclists as I am around cars.

Maybe it's just SF and it's the wild west here, but biking at rush hour is just as bad because of other cyclists, not just cars. I think drivers would hate us a lot less if we stopped at a stop sign once in a while and thought about others besides ourselves (same goes for shitty drivers too).
The parent in no way suggested blaming victims (and your fake-quote is a bit of straw-man hyperbole). He merely suggested that the supposed victims here should take a little extra responsibility for their safety and increase their vigilance.

I'm still the victim if, say, I'm walking in shady part of town at night, looking at my phone instead of paying attention, and I get mugged. But just because I'm the victim in this scenario, it doesn't mean I can't or shouldn't do more to protect myself from a bad outcome.

Would you rather be more vigilant, or increase your chances of a hospital visit? I'm talking about the reality of the situation here, not the ideal world where everyone on the road behaves like we think they should.

Now just give me an iPhone app where I push a button and it sends me the cheapest, closest car from any of those companies.
Taxi rate in NYC seems too low. I tried a couple of trips that I have taken dozens of times, and they have never, ever been as low as whats being calculated. I like the idea though.
they are in the sense that with the way things are going, more and more risk, uncertainty, and costs are offloaded from employers to labor without ever giving anything in return
Nice blanket negative statement "NPM IS BAD". Maybe you'd consider expanding on why npm frustrates you? and leaving a comment with more value.
It is called 'podcasting', after all.
Atwood's law continues.
We should be passing around string lists, e.g. ["foo", "bar", "baz"] instead of "foo/bar/baz".

But that doesn't in and of itself solve the problem, because "foo/bar//baz" would map to ["foo" "bar" "" "baz"/] without any additional convention.

This is actually not that unusual. this site does not treat two consecutive slashes as a single slash. There are likely others implementation differences.

Certainly in posix consecutive slashes count as one for file paths, but URL query strings are not file paths.

So the solution is to revoke cyclists licences for poor behaviour, but not do the same to car drivers who commit vehicular manslaughter?
I don't think one size fits all here. To me, a good tutorial app is one that effectively showcases the strengths of a framework while being honest about weaknesses.

So for Django/Rails, anything that goes over CRUD operations would be good. For Flask/Sinatra, an API endpoint. For Meteor, a small, realtime chat application. You get the idea.

And keep it simple. Don't try to cram everything into a tutorial — especially if there is a lot of complicated setup required. Just give me the lay of the land and at the end of the tutorial a link to the reference docs so I can keep going if I want.
In places where they are not ultra-dense, these can mean that a good 80% of the land is green space.

Maybe I just never understood the appeal of having a teeny fenced off piece of land, instead of a large shared one.
Palm had a thriving app ecosystem. So did Psion. Even the TRS-80 Model 100 if you could view it as a precursor to the modern tablet.
Personally all I need is a full day. I don't sleep with my watch. So putting it on a stand to recharge it isn't an issue with me.

And current watch makers can't make a smartwatch. Just like Apple couldn't make a mechanical watch. Completely different worlds that just happened to meet in the middle.
Reading the article makes it really clear of why taxis are so regulated; because they need to be!

I once had an idea that was basically Uber, back in 2005 when I had a Motorola Razr and had also been left stranded, kept waiting for 45+minutes and forgotten about (or denied service!). My idea at the time involved selling it to the yellow cab industry so that they could send the closest cab and let the customer know the estimate time. But at no point did I think it a good idea to throw away the entire body of regulation for taxi services
Vehicular manslaughter -- which most fatal accidents are not -- is a criminal offense which, when proven, results in a lot more than losing your license.
Who gives a shit. They're both converging on the same form-factors and features. It's good we have at least two successful smartphone platforms. If there were only one there would be less innovation and more price gouging.
I liked this:

"But for me, it's all about the Milanese bracelet, baby. The fact that Apple even knows what this is is remarkable. I promise you not a single other tech company in the world would've spent the time to make this admittedly outdated looking option. But I absolutely love it."

Specifically "The fact that Apple even knows what this is is remarkable."

Apple knows?

Obviously Apple didn't develop the watch in a vacuum. And they have the money and resources to hire and consult with the best people in the world. So the surprise isn't that they did this what's surprising is how other equally rich companies don't tend to do things like this. In other words they seem to be lacking the motivation and creativity to even hire the right individuals.
No, it is just that when the application grows too much, it is interesting to have the JS organized in a more standardized way, the MVC feature and two-way binding is very attractive to me.
The most obvious example of why Debian is an OS, not a "Linux distro," is because you can install the kfreebsd architecture and then you're not using Linux at all.
Looks like none of 'em hold a candle to Taxis in small-to-medium cities like mine.

In our particular case the JS code is quite a mess, which of course could be fixed without getting rid of jQuery, but I really want to use all the features of Angular.js

Banana's do not have proteins. Generally speaking proteins can be found in meat.

A banana has ~1g - 1.5g of protein. By dried weight, it's a lower % of protein than a lot of other fruits. I admit it isn't much (it's about as much protein as 1 teaspoon of peanut butter).

Almost _everything_ has protein in it. You get your recommended daily intake of protein at around 9 large baked potatoes.
> we don't know basic things about what's good and bad for us.

Errr, I think we know these 'basic' things quite fine. Energy burned needs to be >= energy taken in. It's just complicated for other reasons.

There are a lot of incentives to stay unhealthy. There're the biological incentives (eating a shitload and packing on a few pounds is good if you're in the jungle and might not eat again for a few weeks), and the incredible cultural pressures that prey on those biological incentives (taco bell spends a lot of money to encourage you to make bad health decisions).

Salt, cholesterol, fat, carbs - these are distractions from being healthy. People who eat healthy amounts of reasonable food (although even then, there's that guy who ate twinkies for a year and managed to lose weight by keeping his calories in check) rarely suffer from poor nutrition.

Yeah, everyone knows that guy who was a vegan and ran every day for 40 years and keeled over at 45 from a heart problem. He's the exception.
> probably because I am paying more attention to the road

For me it was the fact that I wasn't trying to 'beat the system' and guess a better way.
More realistically, I think it was obvious to them that they couldn't make a watch in a singular style and expect wide adoption. Personal style is a very important factor in watch purchases.
> Social security is a essentially an age-tested basic income.

No, its not. Benefit eligibility is driven primarily by previous contributions (either yours or, if you are relying on survivors benefits, someone else's), with various qualifying events. Its not (even leaving out the "age test") anything like BI, except in the extremely distant way any way that the government gives you money is "like" BI.
I believe one day software will be advanced enough to reduce the number of necessary lenses for quality photos.. "Software eating DSLR".
OT, but I use Firefox and have not found that to be universally the case. But on this website, it definitely does and I really appreciate it!
The upside of this for the employee is that they know they are going to be working with "rockstars" (the word is from the article). If I applied to a company which had a hiring process that could let through idiots, I wouldn't take the job.
It wouldn't be if it were a sphynx cat.
Wow, what a crazy review. No mention of materials, which seems odd for a 'watch guy' review. I have to go to apple.com to read: A new aluminum alloy? "that’s 60 percent stronger than standard alloys"?? No mention of the sapphire crystals? Or the strengthened Ion-X glass? As a watch guy, that's what I want to hear about. Is it lighter than titanium, or heavy like a stainless watch? Is the crystal domed? Reflective? What is the ceramic back? I'll be honest, this reads like a crap review.

I'm impressed by the sweeping, of course. The display looks very nice for a watch at any price range. I wish the author actually compared some $350 mechanical watches, instead of a $28,000 hourglass, a $15,000 watch too big for his cuff, a $150 mechanical Swatch, and a $700 mechanical Tissot. Instead, we get vague, non-specific swaths of comparisons:

> Apple got more details right on their watch than the vast majority of Swiss and Asian brands do with similarly priced watches

> In many cases, its offerings make what is coming out of Switzerland (or Asia) look amateurish.

Again, no specific mention of better-than-X. Too bad. I do like that Tissot he mentioned.

I'm quite impressed by Apple's (relatively) vast array of superb finishes: other watch manufacturers could step their game up in this regard, but they would have to consolidate their designs. Also, the bracelets look quite nice and I hope that competition improves things analog-side.
Congratulations! Given how strong the European bitcoin community is, this seems like a very important step. I wonder how they picked the first countries -- were they a set with reciprocal registration, or just with the most reasonable requirements, or bigger markets, ...?
As a concept, I guess this can be called an OS, but at the present moment, it is pretty far from one. Right now it seems like this is basically a work-in-progress replica of BusyBox built on Node.
I remember the shock and lust the original coloured iMac was greeted with. That was the first comeback Jobs hit.

Good for these guys. I thought of getting a camper and doing something similar, but just like the comforts of having a 'home'.
Can you exhaust your social security? Is it an account? Or is it an entitlement that you have to qualify for (credits over a number of years) and then can continue to draw until death?
