Exactly. It would be completely unacceptable to challenge a gay person's natural attraction to another person of their gender. How can they help who they're attracted to, right? Yet for a straight person...people almost immediately assume racism.

I did. The other 10 sentences then completely ignored the possibility, so I felt it was worth re-iterating. The article is pretty clear that you can dispense with air-con in many instances, and dramatically reduce it's use in the remaining cases, simply by using a fan. Nowhere does the article make the claim that air-con shouldn't be used, merely that it shouldn't be the first option when things get hot. You mis-characterised the article, and I just wanted to point that out.
None taken. I got the impression from comments on HN and elsewhere. To be fair, those comments might've been from Node advocates, so they could've been skewed. Is one of the (main) problems that the registry is often unavailable?

I recommend looking at the CELLv1 from SparqEE[1] if anyone is looking for a nice development board for RaspberryPi/Arduino. It supports 3G, not only GPRS as most of the other GSM boards available.

I received mine a few weeks ago and have been having loads of fun working with it.

That "ancient history" includes discriminatory subprime mortgage practices and redlining that are currently going on. Ferguson is not ancient history, and neither are the disparities in policing or the school-to-prison pipeline.

Ancient history merely tells us how we came to be at current history. We can not possibly begin to fix these ongoing injustices without admitting that "ancient" history had an actual impact that must be repaired.

Right now, black men with the same college degrees make far less than their white counterparts. A resume with a white-sounding name gets far more responses than one with a black-sounding name. No amount of "helping people in need" is going to address those problems.

I read the article, and I don't see where it says that Pink Lady isn't a variety. It mentions the marketing that Pink Lady is sold under, but I don't see where it contradicts the assumption that Pink Lady is a variety of apple. Just marketed and subjected to a certain quality standard.
This is why I try and explain over and over again that there is no such thing as strong security on a mobile when Apple and Google can remotely modify your phone.

If you're running any sort of password manager on a phone, how hard do you think it would be for Apple+Google to take a copy of the encrypted file along with your captured password.

Because you might sync that app to iTunes over USB and from there to your iPad.

In particular, if your iTunes machine does not have a internet connection, the user messaging/experience could get hairy. Do you copy the non-iPad version to the iPad, yes or no? Do you tell the user, yes or no? Would the typical non-technical user understand what happened? My guess: probably not.

Also, restoring a backup made from an old device to a new device with higher resolution could get complicated, either technically or for the end user.

Other questions:

- what would iTunes show is on your Mac? "You have twitter, but only the 2x resources"?

- testing effort would explode, as one would have to test apps with partial resources.

I think we will at some time get such partial downloads, but for now, copying the whole app keeps things simple.

Six Best Internet Marketing Tools That Every Digital Marketer Should Know About
I doubt you're alone, but i think the apple watches look good, especially worn (vs. on their own). The smaller size also makes them look elegant, even compared to the Moto 360 (which I otherwise prefer as a physical object). After seeing Ars Technica's side-by-side comparison of screenshots, the round screen of the 360 seems both ridiculous and poorly used (although the Apple UI designers might have done better with a round display).

That said, I don't find the device compelling. One more gadget to charge.

Personal preference, bias, prejudice, and common-sense (e.g., awareness of danger), are not the same thing, nor are interchangeable with systemic racism, nor hysterical racism.

Also, a person's life being more important than others is a basic product of consciousness.

I was responding to "I personally consider any institutionalized discrimination bad and immoral. Grants for black students are bad, IMO. On the other hand, grants for poor students (the majority of which will be black (in the US), but not all of them) are good." That would do nothing to reduce existing injustices and could make racial gaps worse, since white people would get a greater benefit from race-blind programs.

If you read the article, it describes how the racial injustices of this country weren't limited to slavery and didn't end with the civil war. There were ongoing government-sponsored, terrorism-enforced race-based programs that were targeted at people who are alive today. The article isn't calling for any specific response: he simply wants a committee to be convened to investigate possible reparations for the harm done.

You made a lot of confident assertions, but provided no evidence backing them up. And they seem to be wrong.

Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate#Causes_of_... to find actual measured differences. The #1 cause of differences in BMR is lean body mass. A body builder will therefore have a higher BMR than a fat guy of the same height and weight. Energy spent on short intense exercises that bulk you up will have a bigger impact on your weight than long less-intense exercise that doesn't.

It turns out that we can explain about 3/4 of the difference in BMR through known factors such as these. But 1/4 of the normal variation comes from unknown factors, and that variation can easily leave an individual using 10-15% more or less energy than would be otherwise expected. This is a pretty big difference!

Furthermore even if you were right about all of that, you would STILL be wrong! Among the other potential effects of exercise is appetite suppression. So if your goal is to eat less, the easiest route might be 45 minutes per day on a treadmill, and then paying attention to your appetite.

I guess it's in the eye of the beholder - when I saw that picture, it was the one I liked the least. But, hey, that's why people buy/wear different things.

This article gave me more insight into why someone might actually buy this watch. But in reality I just don't see people clamoring for something like this. Although I never thought Steve Jobs was really a visionary, I did always recognize that he did have enough understanding of the market to see what people were looking for and provide it better than anyone else. I mean, digital music, smart phones, etc. all existed before Apple produced iTunes and the iPhone, but nobody marketed it correctly or provided exactly what people were looking for like Jobs and Apple. I just don't think people who can pull that off come along very often, and I don't think Apple has anyone (at least not facing the public) that can match what Steve did.

I'm not sure Jobs would be trying to produce a watch...I might consider what Jobs did and think he might have moved over into self driving cars or something like that. People would buy a self driving car from Apple, and it seems the market is starting to build momentum.

Interesting, I have exactly the opposite view. The limited visibility that such conditions enforce, making them hard for humans to handle, have much lower effect on a system equipped with "vision" on multiple wave-lengths, for some of which the rain and fog are as transparent as air. As for the other effects (say, less tire friction) I don't see why a computer would do worse. I'm pretty sure the breaking distances are not hard-coded, but rather a very sophisticated feedback loop.
My point is the fact that the situation outlined above is easily possible is a huge problem.
If someone hasn't noticed, in the past 30 years, that Apple is all about control, then I'm not sure what to say.

German Uber driver caught out as ban gets personal
Interesting. I tried a different approach: no limits, except for normal daytime activities (e.g. normal sleep time). The result was what I wished for: eventually things stabilized. Yes, we went through several 2-3 day binges, when our kid would be completely immersed, but eventually she always got bored and seeked other activities (especially social & involving movement). After those extended screentime periods, devices would always get cast aside and used sparingly. So, it seems that at least some kids at some ages are able to maintain a reasonable balance all by themselves.

I don't know if this can hold (she's almost 6 now), but so far I'm very happy with the results.

Sure. But just like there is a moment when the frog suddenly realizes that the water really is getting hotter I suspect a lot of tech types see this as that moment.

Google's Voice Search seems like a Siri competitor to me - I can set alarms, request directions, call someone, etc. etc.

The thing is, I never do.

Google Now is a much, much better implementation of this 'smart information provider' concept.

It's subjective - there's a reason if you go to a regular watch shop they have as many different watches as they do.

Apple have made a start on trying to work with different preferences with the interchangable straps and clasps and so on but something like this is never going to please everyone.

Personally I wouldn't go as far as ugly but I'm certainly not wow-ed by it in terms of how it looks. It seems to be well designed and well made but lots of things are and it doesn't mean I want to strap them to my wrist.
I'm perfectly happy with my 'just a phone' phone. I already have a ton of distractions in my life and I have yet to see what I could possibly gain from another source of interruptions.

A terrible article from Time magazine going against what a lot of institutions doing research are saying. Not like this is controversy to get eyeballs or perhaps a study backed by industry to confuse people.

I wonder if imposing a minimum time spent on other activities (e.g., bike riding, jumping on a trampoline, swimming, board games, reading) would be a better and less "controlling" method than imposing a maximum time spent with gadgets? I suppose, though, that this probably wouldn't solve the problem with their aggression when switching "spaces", unless perhaps they found another activity that they loved as much or more than their gadgets.

I'm not a parent and so I'm really not in a position to speak on this, but it seems plausible to me that the aggression is a byproduct less of transitioning from one space to another and more of having complete control in the digital world vs. having zero control in the real world. They might be lashing out because the digital device gives them the experience, however short and shallow, of basically being you -- being in control of most details of what's going on in your universe. If that's true, one approach might be to find a way to make them feel like they have more power and impact in the real world, without of course actually giving them too much control beyond their ability to wield.
No they didn't.

Apple added an album to your "purchased" list, and if you happen to have the setting for automatically downloaded and syncing your purchases checked, then the service automatically downloaded and synced your purchase for you, AS YOU REQUESTED.

I'm not trying to pretend that they don't have control over my device, but let's not manufacture outrage over something that actually ISN'T an example of them using it.
I don't know, I can't say I agree with the article. I grew up (and still live) in a small apartment in Greece. My family had fans (because air-conditioning was expensive back in the day) all around the house. We "managed", but it was definitely not comfortable when ambient temperature increased above 32C. After installing air-conditioning (3 12000 BTU ductless mini-splits) everything changed. Summers were finally comfortable afterwards and today I would never think of decommissioning the A/C units, regardless of electricity costs.
