Here are my first thoughts (I kind of won't be doing device specific nitpicking as this is the first iteration. We are sure the concept will evolve with time):

Good things:

1.) The Tap-talk feature is an absolute genius for me. This, exactly this, is the perfect non-intrusive yet hyper connected way to intimately stay in touch with someone. Just tap on their wrist, so simple. Make a little scribble to show emotion, so beautiful.

2.) The digital crown seems very interesting. I know the concerns on this thread, but if you see the demo again, the nob is bigger and is fluid enough to rotate by rolling just one finger on it. We hate crowns on our watches not because we have to rotate them, but because they are hard to rotate. This one might be different.

3.) The built. It starts at $349, while Android Wear is at $250-300 range. But then this is sapphire glass with at least steel body. And their is mention of actually how a watch is accurate with time, something 3 other companies didn't do.

4.) Multiple sizes is a good thing. Small people, petite ladies don't like to wear big sizes. I like how adaptive this watch is with the sizes, materials, straps.

Now on to the awkward parts:

1.) They gave developers at least 4-5 months time to implement the tap-talk on Android Wear. By the time this watch actually comes to stores, it would be beaten down concept.

2.) They gave Android Wear manufacturers all the time to step up their game.

3.) The killer app, even in on-stage demos, seems to be the maps app. The Apple maps, unfortunately. That makes it profoundly useless wrist weight for anybody living outside of handful countries it actually works in. That gives Android Wear a terrible advantage.

4.) No GPS on watch. So basically I have to carry my phone in pocket during runs. There is already GPS apps which do that. So that makes this watch essentially a display.

5.) No word on battery.

6.) Apple launched a watch today. A week earlier Moto launched a better looking watch. This is a sentence I never thought I'd say.

Would I have bought it today if Apple launched it? Yes.

Will I now that Apple has given me months to think it over? No.
It's really tragic, as a politically interested Columbia student I hadn't realized who he was, or that he was running, until this afternoon. :(
"citation needed", solomon hykes (hn username: shykes) has been OVERLY forthright about container security. I could easily find a dozen posts showing so, but don't think you can find 2 to the contrary.
I used to have to wait for a fix as well. What works for me is that when I'm preparing for the run, I put the watch in a window for enough time to get a fix, which sometimes take a long time. Then when I go out to run later, it gets a fix pretty quickly.

I'm amazed at people preferring living under a lie for the rest of their lives and dying like that than finding out the truth in case it might be bitter. I would trade a supernuclear family for truth any day of the week.

Slightly off topic, but no wonder it's also difficult to make people realize the reality about religion(s). The same 'ignorance is bliss' head-in-the-sand mentality is working behind the scenes many times.
Those are all Android Wear features, so any of a number of devices.
Spot on. Thanks to Lake Wobegon syndrome, American youth inevitably think they'll end up on the rich side. By the time they're seniors, the veil of ignorance that fades.

Reminds me of the quote from John Steinbeck that Americans are never poor, they're just temporarily inconvenienced millionaires. I guess that by the time you're 60 you realize that those millions are never coming.
I didn't realize how important it was for me to see the night sky until I moved to a densely populated area. It's weird to look up and see nothing but a glowing haze.
The WHO put out a press release a couple weeks ago [1] talking about why so many doctors have been catching the disease. Basically, it's a lot bigger than prior outbreaks and is catching people off guard, doctors are working themselves to exhaustion, making themselves more likely to make mistakes, and it's hit urban areas, meaning it's exposing a lot of underequipped medical professionals to the disease. Knowing better doesn't always translate to being able to do better.

The web is totally open, but just because something is open doesn't mean you have to support it the same way everywhere. Not everything has to run on everything. As a creator of something, Apple should totally have the right to decide what is best for their own products, website, etc.
This is going to sound a little harsh, but that's not the intention. I am genuinely curious about emergent phenomenon of computation.

I spent a lot of time messing around with toy evolutionary algorithms. I never really got any satisfaction out of those experiments. eventually I found this [1], and felt sort of foolish.

Has anything really happened with emergent properties in the last 10 years or so?

Not really, it is using all of the exact same kernel namespacing code that LXC has used. Would you consider LXC pretty battle tested? I certainly would. It has been in the kernel for years.

Now you mentioned earlier that Docker is not a "super chroot" (your words, not mine). Yes it is! You can break out of a chroot with root privilege inside the chroot, ditto for a linux container using LXC or when using docker without the right settings to drop capabilities.

Granted, this all changes when user namespace support is merged into the Linux kernel, but they've been working on that code for quite some time. Additionally, if you want to be pedantic, it Btrfs, not BtrFS. As other people have said, docker is really not a huge codebase. It is primarily glue code on existing and very well established functionality in the Linux kernel. Try to check your facts next time before spouting so much FUD.
"Culture appears more monolithic than ever, with a few gigantic corporations—Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon—presiding over unprecedented monopolies."

As opposed to when? When William Randolph Hearst ruled the press? Dickensian England? Even Big Media of my 90s youth.

Culture is always monolithic because it is shared behaviour. Go back to the salons of Europe or Ancient Greece and you would have this exact same argument. Misanthropy posing as a noble cry for utopianism, in my mind.
Hee hee. Wait until people twig properly to VR's usefulness as a way of displaying simple virtual 2D screens or application windows. (Nearly) any number of windows of any size, at any position, and at infinite focal length, anywhere you are able to sit down and put on VR goggles, without a particularly high GPU/CPU burden. That makes the VR HMD a disruptive entrant into the small phone/big phone/small tablet/big tablet scrap. It's probably going to take further improvements in resolution, off-centre visual distortion and HMD bulk before it can really take off in that role, but like any disruptive technology it doesn't have to beat the competition on every axis before it can succeed.
As a thought experiment (I'm not saying it's exactly analogous), imagine some sort of genetic treatment for a fetus that gives it white skin rather than the black skin of its parents. White people have more opportunities in life, are generally more successful, certainly have a lower lifetime risk of being murdered by police, et cetera. What arguments apply in the case of a cochlear implant that do not apply here?
> I'd like to know if I can write an app in Swift that can run on iOS6.

No. From Xcode6 release notes:

"iOS 7 and OS X 10.9 minimum deployment target

The Swift compiler and Xcode now enforce a minimum deployment target of iOS 7 or OS X Mavericks. Setting an earlier deployment target results in a build failure."
Free of election-related corruption as in, the not-really-a-functioning-democracy kind of corruption. There is nowhere in the world where politics itself is free of corruption.

Japanese election results overwhelmingly reflect who actually got the most votes; I have never even heard that point contested.

And little choice? Two-party system? I wonder: have you ever actually seen a Japanese election?

There are so many candidates and parties now that it takes an hour just to google them all. Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), the Japanese Communist Party, New Komeito, the Social Democratic Party, Nippon Isshin, the New Rennaissance Party, then we have the Green Wind Party and the Smile Party... and I am definitely missing a whole bunch more -- all of whom have actively serving winners in local government positions and the Japanese Diet.

And in most recent gubernatorial election in Tokyo, where I live, the guy who won wasn't even in any of those parties, but AFAICT made his own party with only himself in it...

The fact that this file is long doesn't say much about parser generators.

There are two components there: recognition (the grammar), and the "actions", i.e. embedded Java code.

The embedded Java isn't going to get any shorter if you write it out (it's already "written out"). And the recognition part is definitely shorter with the grammar.

ANTLR perhaps has a mode where it will output only the grammar in a compact form. In any case, it's an implementation detail. It's perfectly possible to write a parser generator where recognition is in a separate file from the actions. But yes this is sort of an annoyance of mine and one of the reasons I wrote my own :)

Wow, you are so brave for bringing forward such a revolutionary and controversial statement. I hope you will bless us with your intelligence at every opportunity you get.
For comparison, GTA V grossed almost 2 billion after 7 months (October to May). That's just one game not the entire franchise. The game should have another large bump in sales when it hits next gen consoles and PC this fall.
That sounds amazing, johan_larson, you should totally code one up! :-p
My perspective is that the majority of the market already owns a smartphone. Companies are trying to get new gadgets out there in peoples hands to increase sales and keep the corporate machine rolling. The problem is, people are happy with just their phones. I think wearables will have a very very slow uptake, especially since they require you to have a smartphone in your pocket.

Someone call me when they get holograms to mass market, then I'll be interested.
New Objective-C features are introduced with new versions of the compiler (and Xcode tools/SDK), but each feature may be deployed on different versions of iOS/OS X (depending on how much support they need from the underlying runtime/operating system).

If they magically funded all of the grants then there wouldn't be enough scientists to do all the work; there's nothing to say that you can't put in more than one proposal at a time.

Edit: well, of course everyone's salaries would go up since there would be so much more demand and no extra supply, but I doubt they could go up that much all at once; most of the money would still go unspent.
And based on where he lives I assume a huge chunk goes to taxes.
>I would trade a supernuclear family over truth any day of the week.

This is interesting. If you had an incredibly happy life, why would you always choose potentially emotionally damaging truth over that? Especially if the alternative is that you never know there is a lie and that lie doesn't actually matter.

Well, some might argue that even the liberal agenda in the US heavily favors the boomers (at the expense of our youth).

-As a 'millennial' I am now legally required to subsidize health care for boomers

-The Federal Gov't recently raised rates on already massively profitable student loans, yet has no problem losing Billions guaranteeing NINJA boomer loans for McMansions.

-I live in what would be considered a fairly liberal area. However, the median age is above the US average. School funding referendums fail by a wide margin here.

There are certainly exceptions, but, generally, I sense that boomers have little respect or regard for our generation (millennials).
I am unsure what some of the graphs measure and labels mean when viewing the demo. Tooltips, descriptions, etc would be helpful in my opinion. Overall it seems like a great start though.
There's no install instructions in the .zip file, but there is a github wiki. But that has obsolete instructions. But there's an open issue, and the comments for that issue include fixes to that.

I stopped messing with it once I saw how they wanted me to install something into root's crontab.

My hypothesis: postgresql has none of these jazzy monitoring tools because it never crashes.

Sure, as traffic grows, slow queries need to be optimized, crappy N+1 ORMs need to be replaced, and boxes need more RAM and faster disks, but when was the last time you heard of anyone complain about postgresql or blame it for any downtime?
I totally agree with you and think that google's wear is a better offering.

My original reply was referring to the fact that even though Google came to market with its wear device first (years ago with glass and months ago with on the watch) it's still being called a response to apple's non existent (at the time) product.

however if tables were turned and google were to release its first wear product months from now, after apple, NO ONE would call apple's watch a preemptive response to Google's wear. It would either be reported as Google copying apple or best case scenario Google's response to apple's innovation.

eg. No one called the original iPhone a preemptive strike on Android.
10,000 copies per day at $26.95? That's nearly $100M per year.

That's a fuck ton of revenue if there are only 40 employees. Growth might not be increasing, but I can't help but see that as a lot of sales.
These seem like the beginnings of the localizers in Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky, or maybe his earlier Fast Times at Fairmont High.

> And little choice? Two-party system? I wonder: have you ever actually seen a Japanese election?

What I mean is there are only two ruling parties in Japan, the rest is so limited they can never expect to be of any importance at the national level.

> Japanese election results overwhelmingly reflect who actually got the most votes; I have never even heard that point contested.

Well yeah, I am obviously not talking about that kind of corruption.
Ask HN: Why is that 10+ years experience folks struggle to find work
I see that lots of 10+ years of folks in software struggle to find work while while lots of under 26 command 100K+ salary . I don't want to be cynical and I completely understand and also onboard with everyone should receive compensation commensurate to their talent. In fact, I fully support it.

Lately though, after hanging around on sites like HN, reading quite a lot I am finding an interesting observation. People having 10+ or even 15+ years of experience face greater challenge to find work , be it change of job , finding job in new state etc.
where as there are lot of young folks who easily command 100K+ salary.

What is missing glue ? Why people with large experience struggle to find work ? Are we gradually moving into phenomena that if you are 30+ then either be in management or get out ?

Would love to hear your point of view.

It's kind of terrifying to visit my parents place in the countryside. I actually need my headlights. While it's not going to be safe for everyone, I could very well drive across my brightly-lit metro area with no driving lights, in the dead of night, with little issue.

On the other hand, out under the clear sky, I'd be off the road in under a mile without lights. It's Dark out there.
ths is using a system on a chip designed by Apple themselves - what the hell. they're going all in on chips. intel quo vadis?
But it's the kind of thing that a crazy multi-billionaire with time on his hands might just try to pull off.

Really, really wish 0x10c would get a second chance after this, from either side of the transaction. If Minecraft is the baseline measure against which future efforts are compared to determine "success", Notch is likely to face a string of "failures". Might as well make one of these failures that comes up short something you love.

So what IS Notch's second act going to be?
There's an article that gives more detail on exactly how they found the wreck here: http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2014/09/09/the_star_with_...

> The underwater archeologists soon put their survey and diving boat, Investigator, in the water to look for a wreck near the island, using a side-scan sonar towfish pulled on an armoured cable.
We have NFC like this in Canada, now. It works with our credit cards though, not our phones. Apple will use the same over-the-air protocol and more obfuscation to make the same transaction.
Sure, I totally agree that Google Wallet was basically a business failure.

I'd also say that the only thing that may stop Apple Pay from being a business failure is that it's Apple doing it this time (even tho, frankly, their UI looks significantly worse than Google Wallet, and has far less functionality, and Google Wallet is no longer impeded by the carriers)...

But that's not what the article section i quoted was talking about. It just made an unqualified claim "this is the first time an OS maker has made a payments product for the physical world"

My understanding is the mutation rate of ebola is significant. Current person-to-person transmission can be brought under control as you mentioned. However, if it mutated to something more transmissive (is that a word?? I declare it so!), plenty of sci-fi's will turn in to prophecy.
Just checked out their recover password page. Just date or birth and one security question are needed. So if you already know a person, pretty easy to hack their accounts.
It would be pretty wrong. Which is why that wasn't the statement. :) Especially for services like transportation, which are commoditizing faster than they're not, removing the need to create accounts and enter credit cards increases consumer willingness to try alternate services. For example, if an aggregator shows a Sidecar 2 min away and an Uber 10 min away, Apple Pay now makes it vastly easier for an Uber customer to try Sidecar for the first time.
I've never seen emergence "used as an explanation in its own right." I also don't understand why you would feel foolish after reading this.
Apple's stream is just HTTP Live Streaming with H.264 IIRC.

Which means the issue is quite clearly with Google and their insistence on using VP8/WebM instead of what almost every other company is using.
They also didn't link to the original study, where you could find this information. There are four links in the article, and they mention the original journal(but not the edition), and they don't link to the article. This seems like terrible journalism.
So even when competitors come up with products that Apple hasn't created yet, these competitors are still copying Apple's ideas by guessing what Apple will be doing?

You really need to step out of that distortion field for a little while.
I'm not quite sure I follow your logic.

Are you saying that as a young graduate student, I should incur more debt to train for a career, then, pay higher (unsubsidized) interest rates on that debt, and pay higher taxes once I get a job in order to bolster the income of someone who (in your example) is already a millionaire?

djokkataja is right. You will have a very difficult time gaining the sympathy of younger generations with that argument.
Haha for sure Solomon, I have some other ideas now too that I am using Docker in production. I will hit you up to have a chat. :)
The LG Prada was an impressive piece of hardware and certainly pointed in the same direction, sure, but it was essentially a feature phone -- a smaller, lower-resolution, grayscale display with no Internet capability to speak of. You had to use a virtual phone keyboard for text messaging, even. There was certainly nothing like Safari, for instance, or any of Apple's messaging applications.

Actually, I'd say that the best iPhone-before-iPhone was the Danger Hiptop (a/k/a T-Mobile Sidekick). Much more data capability than almost anything else, a reasonably good browser, and even an app store. It'd be interesting to see where that evolutionary line would have been in 2014 if it hadn't been killed by iOS and Android. (And by Microsoft buying Danger and mangling it to hell, of course.)

Don't worry, when you're 50, you'll have the political power to strip wealth from the young as well. It's nothing specific to boomers vs millenials, it's just the way of the world. Older people have political power, because they have a lifetime of networking, along with personal wealth accreted over that time.

Or, in simpler terms, when has there ever not been a "young people these days!" comment?
The reality distortion field and the ability to spin those negatives as positives are features, though.

A watch is primarily a piece of jewelry. How well it tells the time or does other things is much less important than how fashionable it is. Branding is one of Apple's strong suits, and you can't take that away by adding features as if consumer purchasing decisions are based on some kind of checklist-like RFPs like corporate drones are used to.
This will probably use Activation Lock as well.

how are you financially vulnerable if you have an asset worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Easy. Yes you have a hard asset, but you have largely spent the most valuable assets you have- your strong back, free time, and good health.
