Some people ski, occasionally. I can totally see that future for VR as well, and I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. For gaming, it's at least potentially very compelling. I just don't see it as a technology people want for more general use. I don't think we'll be using it browsing Facebook or sitting in the park.

People don't wear skis around in their daily life. Skis are very much a special purpose item that most people use between never and about once a year, with never the runaway winner, if you consider the fraction of even relatively affluent people who don't ski at all.

It has a support for destructuring, but no true pattern matching. Given the lack of algebraic data types, there's the question on what pattern matching would be supposed to match on.
With an annual salary the employment of new employees would be difficult. Either the salary has to come in pre, or post the work is done. I don't think there are employees that will pay you a years salary in advance. Nor I think there are employees who will work a year before the first salary.

That is the main problem I can think of with an annual salary. And my own opinion is that I like to get paid a monthly salary, which means I do not have to manage a whole bunch of monies to last all year.

Apart from that

I hardly ever carry cash with me anymore when I'm in Japan. Suica and Edy are accepted almost everywhere and it's super convenient. I'm sure it's even better for people who live there because they can get it integrated into their phone, which is not available to tourists like me.
when it comes to damage-legal-teams-can-cause, I'm always reminded of Sony vs That-guy-who-cracked-ps3-stuff. apparently they kept calling him at all hours of the night, of course he had to listen to each call. if he let 1 valid call go unresponded, then that would be a mark against him.

...and to detriment of the rest of the population. Most of London is still based on its medieval city plan(ie no plan exists) and the carrying capacity of the roads are particularly lower compared to similarly sized cities. Controlling the number vehicles which do abrupt stops is a good idea.
thanks. that is more or less what i was thinking ..
Ask HN: Do online press releases still make sense?
Back in the day it used to be common practice to issue a press release on sites like prweb.com when launching a new product. As far as I understood, for SEO purposes since Panda 4.0 that doesn't help anymore. And it's been long since I've seen a blog post referencing a press release. Is it still worth it? is being featured in NH or TechCrunch there only good option left for a successful launch?
My anecdote for how well memorized london cabbies are. I used to live on a small street in central-ish London. See link below. I would regularly catch cabs from the city home. Out of many trips only once did a cabbie ask me where the road is. I replied 'Near Holland Rd" and he knew it straight off. This street was a few hundred meters and had nothing special going for it like popular shops etc. It never ceased to amaze me that every cabbie knew this tiny street in all London.

I don't understand why you're coming at this from a US vs EU angle. I've worked in both as well, have had a company in the US, have had a company in Canada as well as several in Europe.

Agreements tend to be legally binding on both sides of the Atlantic, if my experience is any guide then the US is much stronger on contracts and agreements than Europe, but apparently we we're not going to agree on that.

What matters is that we're talking about a very specific case, not just your experience or general matters. And that in that specific case which the linked article talks about there was more than just smoke about there being 3, not 2 co-founders to snapchat and that one of them got unfairly cut out of the deal.

What the US norm is in such cases is not relevant, if you agree on a three way split then that is what you should do. If someone contributes to your start-up in a non-material but essential way then you can decide to reward them or not, but once you've made a commitment towards sharing in the proceeds you can't later backpedal on that.

And there is nothing European about that. Case in point: this lawsuit is going down in the US.
JetBrains has said that it might show turn up as an IntelliJ plugin for Ultimate subscribers, but they're focusing on making it a great stand-alone product, and they're not promising any plugin version.

Well they don't flat our refuse. But like OP said, they just don't drive down the southbound route to avoid going to the southern parts of town. So what are you going to report? That you have seen 50 taxis going north, but 0 going south?

I'll make this clear from the start. I'm not an Apple fan (for complex reasons... call it a falling out.)

That said, this is a beautiful piece of design. I think they've outdone themselves with this one, it's a truly wonderful device. Unfortunately, I have a horrible feeling that it will only be a matter of time before we see the usual Samsung vs. Apple patent violation claims being thrown around again (despite any possible prior art etc.).

Personally, I still think the tech isn't quite compact enough yet, but we're only one or two generations away from a slim-line, waterproof, and functionally integrated piece of kit that will actually complement the existing tech. The integration with dive computers / cycling computers / sports cameras / personal drones :-) etc. could be incredible!

Hopefully Apple's entry onto the smart-watch scene doesn't end up mired in too many patent battles... I'd like to see these devices progress as fast as possible!

Bravo Apple design team!

The strap may be finitely long, but the adjustment is continuous. This still allows for infinite values.
You can quickly see notifications. I also cannot see myself using Maps or looking at photos on the tiny screen.
I would pull out my phone to do that, which i would have to wear with me anyway.
They could,but they don't. Also it would be good if they could predict traffic, like if there is a game in town or a planned protest, then don't take certain routes, even though they might be completely empty right now. A good cabbie will know that, sat nav - not a chance.
That's why we have courts and such, so that victims can seek redress of crimes and if you facilitate such crimes then you'll be likely named a co-defendant. You can't 'on principle' opt-out of the law and making yourself a vehicle for crimes on the argument that you give your users the right to choose between right and wrong will likely not go down very well in court.

Once you have been made aware that a part of your infrastructure is being used to perpetrate something illegal then you should act. If you don't then you will carry some liability.
Couple more to add, from a London regular:

4) London taxis are incredibly expensive in inefficient. I did a thorough comparison of them against train and car travel into the city considering the other 4 people in the car with me (I travel efficiently). I now drive into the city and pay for parking in NCP/hospital car parks. I don't get charged for congestion charge because I drive an exempt vehicle. This happens once a week for me and it's cheap and very easy. The CC zone is pretty easy to get around and the supposed bus lane advantage is null as they have loading bays all up and down them and people don't give way to taxis and busses pulling into normal traffic.

5) London taxis don't always take the most efficient route. They take the msot profitable. This isn't universally true but I've been in many a taxi taking complicated back street routes when the main route would suffice. They are charged both on time and distance but distance is considerably more profitable.

So if there's more than 2 people in the car, the car is CC exempt, even if you pay for parking, getting around London is bliss and cheap.

Plus you can stick the radio on whatever you want rather than Capital FM which is all cabbies seem to listen to.
It sounds like the acquirer needs to be ready to support network-level tokenization. I have no idea how an acquirer can detect what kind of card it is an compute interchange when everything is in the same BIN.
Many of the recent tax avoidance schemes that celebrities have tried to use in the UK were outright fraudulent - for example, one involved them falsely claiming that they were used car dealers and reporting fictious losses which were large enough to offset their income for the year. Another involved reporting that they'd invested money in UK film production when they hadn't.

I am paid monthly in arrears. If I was paid annually in arrears, I would have cashflow issues, would have a greater need of short term loans, and would want a larger salary to compensate me for this.

Most of my expenses (credit card, utility bills, mortgage, ...) are monthly; annual and ad hoc expenses combined are less than this. So it makes sense for my salary to come in monthly as well.
The CC is not a big deal. If you travel in lots, you get a discount. If you don't, it's £11.

Or in my case it's £0 because my car is exempt.

There wasn't any congestion before it and to be honest it's worse now than ever. Been driving in and out for 22 years.
NPF or “No Problem Found”
Lemon Law in most states requires that the manufacturer should be given a reasonable opportunity to repair. If the problem cannot be readily diagnosed, the consumer gets the vehicle back with a repair order marked as "no problem found" ("NPF"). When it comes time to protect a lemon claim, the manufacturer will then claim that any repair visit where no work was performed will not count toward the four chances to repair.
However, the purpose of the statute is to limit the number of times a consumer must go back and forth to the shop trying to fix a defect or unconformity. According to the courts in California, Delaware and Texas a consumer satisfies the necessary number of repair attempts under the Lemon Law by presenting the car to an authorized dealer, regardless of whether any repairs are actually performed or not.

I wonder if it was the way it was presented? That one weird Samsung S3 (?) release presentation was odd and strange, and weird. I said weird twice.

With Apple, they appear to present things differently. Perhaps it is because you can't hear Jony Ive smiling when he talks? He sounds like a robot, so it must be a logical thing to do?

Been driving into the city for 22 years, not as a cabbie but a frustrated commuter.

There is no knowledge that can predict a system as complicated as London, as you will see by the number of taxis wedged in all the traffic jams. The utility of the cabbie is mostly mysticism and religious thought if you ask me.

However, the all seeing eye of Google Maps for example which aggregates just about every bit of info there is is all powerful. "drive home" - 42 mins, 8 mins of traffic, pick a route, gets worse on the way home, "faster route found!"

Your examples are not really strong. Most cars have digital clocks, exam halls usually have wall clocks also cannot imagine plane without clock. I would say scubadivers, parashuters would need it but how many are there? There are also workplaces where you cannot wear jewelery and watches (working with food, machinery) but company phone is permitted or must. I would say that in places where keeping track of time is needed there are already placed clocks, otherwise it is not indispensable.

I would say that it is primarily a piece of jewelery.

I think it complements your phone. So it is more convenient to glance at your wrist than rooting around in your pocket and getting your phone out, something some people find quite rude.

If the trends reversed and they shrunk phones (like they did in the 90s) and put a strap on them, then they could easily replace the watch.
But then battery life would be abysmal.

Funny to call a Lisp dialect functional between quotes. When Lisp and lambda calculus are the very genesis of FP.

Yes, Lisp can do pattern matching, usually implemented via macros,

I, for one, fail to realize how can one design any half-complex app (gadget, whatever) to be stateless. I mean, modes are literally everywhere.

So long as you can always tell which mode is the current one, I feel modes are fine.

That said, the example in the article seems like a pretty severe oversight (crucial indicator, completely identical modes) by itself.
I haven't really thought much about implementation specifics but does it make much of a difference ?

so I can view the result with less or a text editor.

What Apple's New Products Say About the Future
You'd really only need to hold it for the first character of any command, I guess. Though holding shift+capslock+; to write a capslock-: feels weird.
Well that was a horribly inaccurate glimpse into a future I don't want.
> If you want to say "we should wait and see", i'm fine with that. If you are saying "i'm sure they are amazing, and we are all just dumb for second guessing apple", this sounds a lot like the emperors new clothes. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
I'm kind of saying both. Of course, I'm holding off on judging until people actually use it. I know past performance does not guarantee future results, but it's hard not to see a pattern in Apple's products announcements.
Glad you have a very solid understanding of sugar. But that means you're being intentionally obtuse when you invoke the halting problem and discuss the entire set of programs that produce the same results.

I think from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8294806 that the core of your argument is about it being difficult to tease out sufficiently complex sugar, but to be honest I've almost never seen complex sugar. Most of this stuff, especially when PeterisP talks about being idiomatic, is simple transformations that you can do easily in either direction.

You don't need a magical sugaring oracle, you need a language-specific sugaring oracle. And if you have a language where the sugar isn't decidable, I'd argue something has gone wrong.

"Yes it would be unfair to tax them at a higher rate for doing fundamentally the same thing - how would we justify one tax rate for one investor in a company, but another rate for this other investor?"

Because taxation has gone way beyond what it was initially meant to do. That's why it's a hard problem; we're trying to make value and fairness judgements and using that as a basis for applying tax.

To me, personally, people can't claim fairness if they're treating people differently based on their arbitrary value judgements. Until we start treating "fairness" as a universal, with no subjective component.
What I find interesting is just how prescient a lot of the postmodern theorists were...

Roland Barthes' death of the author? Seems spot on to me! Twitter and Facebook have ended the hegemony of the narrative and replaced it with a billion people all shouting at once. We end up with emergent and algorithmic storytelling that is truly not created by any single author.

Jean Baudrillard's Hyper reality? Memes are a great example. The original context is so far gone that all we're left with is an endless procession of signs and signifiers and the next page on /r/AnimalAdvice.

Marshall McLuhan's medium is the message? Artists of all kinds suffer as their creations are digitized and removed from the economy while the entities that own the digital faucets at Google and Apple make record profits.

None of these guys are very easy to read, I'll admit that, but there are some amazing insights especially when you consider they were writing this stuff 30-50 years ago.
It doesn't seem to be completely identical. The way I intepreted is that the information fed to Glances is 100% dependent on the apps on your phone. Android Wear gets fed information both from apps and Google Now. As an example, seeing flight information on your Apple Watch requires you to install an app, whereas on Android Wear it shows up if you Googled that flight once.

So I do think Google has the edge when it comes to (contextual) information in general, but of course Glances is only part of what Apple Watch offers.

In direct contrast to Vim is Emacs, a modeless editor which uses modifier keys to distinguish inserting text from navigation commands. From my perspective, there doesn't appear to be any other way of choosing keybindings that keep Vim's mnemonic/composable command structure without introducing the slight mental overhead of modes.
RTSP doesn't go through firewalls easily. That's pretty much why Apple invented HLS. It's a nice, minimalist solution to adaptive bitrates that uses standard HTTP to get the job done. Big players such as the BBC have adopted the standard (ugh, I'm writing a client for it right at the moment!), so it's not a particularly fair categorisation to label this as a purely Apple thing.
