Braeburns and Granny Smiths are the only apples we ever buy (sometimes substitute Gala or Jazz for the Braeburns, if we can't find them). I've literally never eaten a deep red apple I liked, and I am a big apple eater. (UK)
Wether it'll be awesome remains to be seen: I'm quite disappointed about the iPhone 5s camera's low light performance when comparing it to recent Android phones.

Indeed they are, but according to the null hypothesis precept, without persuasive contradicting evidence, there is no association. The burden is on experimental evidence to contradict that assumption, and if positive evidence isn't present, then the default assumption is correct.

Think about what proving no association actually means. That would require proof of a negative, which is a widely recognized logical error, an impossible burden. To see why, imagine that I believe in Bigfoot and I will continue to believe until someone proves he doesn't exist. But no one can prove Bigfoot isn't hiding under some rock on a faraway planet, therefore I am justified in my belief. My belief is supported by an impossible evidentiary burden.

This is why scientists rely on the null hypothesis -- contradicting it requires positive evidence. Its opposite requires negative evidence.

This is hilarious. How is it that people, when confronted by the fact that an online therapy actually works, has a measurable therapeutic effect, don't ask themselves whether their mental illness is as superficial as its treatment?

To the question "Is my mental illness real?", one answer can be "If you can treat it by looking at some pictures and reading some words on a Website, then no, it's not real."

Imagine an oncologist saying, "Yes, you have cancer, but I have a Website with some pictures and words, that will fix you right up." This isn't likely, because, unlike a psychological condition, cancer is a real disease.

For anyone that lives in the UK and loves apples, I would recommend the Apple Festival held at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent [1]. Brogdale is the home of the UK's National Fruit Collection [2] and if you've ever wanted to have 30-40 varieties of apples and pears to taste and buy like a wine-tasting this is the place to be.

F# can only create .Net code AFAIK, and according to wikipedia it supported Linux only since 2010.
I have already decided to learn/experiment with OCaml by that time, and I haven't payed much attention to languages that can only run on .Net/Mono because Linux will probably always be a second-class platform for them.
There are very few wild large mammal populations which number in the 100s of thousands, let alone millions. The principle exceptions are all domesticated animals: cattle, sheep, hogs, and the like.

After humans, the largest non-domesticated predator mammal population is likely crabeater seals (11-12 million); land predator, the American black bear (850-950 thousand). There are fewer than half the California sea lions statewide (355 thousand) than there are residents of San Francisco (837 thousand). Most major land predators number in the tens of thousands worldwide, or fewer.

Among ungulates (divided amongst even and odd toed variants for some reason), water buffalo are the most numerous non-domesticated population at about 172 million, followed by species of duiker (7 & 2 million). American bison number 530,000, reduced from a pre-Columbian population of 60 million, and a low of 750 total individuals in 1890.

Of the non-domesticated odd-toed ungulates (generally: horse-like), most numerous are the plains zebra, at 660,000. The next most numerous is the Kiang, 60,000.

In the oceans, several dolphin populations number 1-2 millions.

Among primates, the most numerous non-human population is Müller's Bornean gibbon, 250-375 thousand.

That is: other than humans, most large land mammals have populations equivalent to mid-sized human towns, a few might rival mid-sized to larger cities.

And populations of dogs and cats (83.3 million and 95.6 million respectively in the US according to the Humane Society)[1] are entirely due to direct human intervention.

I agree with the initial impression of a "big rectangular clunky thing", but thankfully the smaller version of the Apple Watch looks more reasonable. That along with the what-seem-like-great strap choices might make it a bit more palatable than the other watches out right now (Samsung, LG, etc.).

The Moto360 is initially easier to accept due to its familiar "normal" watch appearance, but I think the software and "experience" on devices like the Apple Watch will prevail.
Of course it's a false dichotomy. Did you read the first sentence of my comment?
Great analogy. Just enormously big and inconvenient pocketwatches with a lot of complications. (/me wearing wristwatch and a SonyEricsson W580 in my pocket)
Ask HN: How does the FlightRadar's mobile app work?
Flightradar[0] is a pretty cool service which has a live map of airline traffic throughout the world. The mobile app has a feature of being able to identify the exact flight name by just pointing your phone at the sky. When you point to the sky, you are asked to calibrate by rotating the device multiple times while keeping the focus on the plane [1]

While I understand how FlightRadar works, with just my GPS coordinates how does the app correctly identify the plane that I'm pointing to? Basically, how does it get the direction I'm pointing towards to narrow down the list of planes that are flying within K miles of a given lat, long coordinate?

Well now that you give more information I see no reason why you can't have both. I mean, you can stay on your department without sacrificing love, there is no reason why you should work in the same department or even company as the person you love (and I would even advice against that).
In that case, there are two strategies for synchronizing file systems -- either:

1. The operator tells the program what to do.

-- or --

2. The program gets it wrong at least some of the time.

In the case of contact list synchronization, like Google Contacts, the system assumes that the device the operator is editing at the moment is the source, and acts accordingly. Notice that a positive determination is made as to what the source and destination are, based on the operator's activity and its timing.

In all other cases where two directory trees are synchronized, are made to have the same content, and in which files may be deleted as well as added, the operator has to tell the program which is the source and which is the destination. End, full stop.

Find any law that probibits bicycles from general use roads - there are none. But Cyclists are probibited from a small number of roads. The obvious conclusion is that some roads are too dangerous for cyclists and the rest are not. At least, not until self stupid cunts who are just bad drivers and who think they own the fucking road get behind the wheel.

Your entire point seems to be "I am a selfish and bad driver, so fuck everyone else".

It doesn't. (Just use GPS)

Great job, it's amazing how accurate it is. Getting this tool to be reliable had to be a substantial struggle.

That's sort of my problem with these frameworks. A neverending explosion of new frameworks that haven't been thoroughly field tested. Meanwhile existing frameworks move on from their 5 minutes of fame and fall into obscurity / deprecation.
> While I understand how FlightRadar works, with just my GPS coordinates how does the app correctly identify the plane that I'm pointing to?

Your device has a magnetic compass. The reason for rotating the device is to calibrate the compass, which relies on a Hall Effect sensor which isn't always accurate until it's been rotated in Earth's magnetic field.

At the end of the process, the device has a geographic position and a reliable compass bearing. It uses this information to draw a vector, and with any luck there's only one plane within the confines of the vector.

That has been definitely my case as well.

I never "disdained" Apple devices, but they were not in my acceptable price range until I started having a regular salary.

But I don´t really think they are so much better than Windows or Linux systems in terms of "getting things done".

I just value their design and the tight hardware-software integration, and I find the premium price to be acceptable, now.

Depends on how much the intern would be getting out of the experience besides pay. If you're actually teaching/mentoring them, then you don't necessarily need to pay them anything. If you don't have marketing/sales expertise yourselves and therefore "intern" is just a way of saying you don't want to be bound by traditional employment practices, then that's something different altogether, and you're probably not going about this the right way. Why the term "intern"?

The New Yorker had a fantastic article on the commercial side of developing new species of apples a couple of years ago: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/11/21/crunch
Not the parent, but as someone with a similar history (Symbian / WinMo Hacker), I used to ridicule Apple at every chance I got. I used to be a hardcore PC Gamer (builder as well, and have built atleast 20 rigs for others).

When I was presented with the original iPhone, I was pissed but overtime as I came to see the merits of it, and by extension Apple hardware. At work I use an iMac, but my personal laptop still is a Lenovo (with Ubuntu 14.04). But I'll be pre-ordering the next MBP as soon as it is announced.

I don't have the patience that I earlier had to debug seemingly simple but drawn out errors/bugs. Apple nails the entire experience (s/w & h/w), and for a developer for whom Time = Money, this is the best possible investment one can make. I also wouldn't have considered Apple hardware had I not been working (and earning) substantially.

But I'm still not an Apple guy and for one-off setup stuff I stick with non Apple hardware (routers, etc). But I wouldn't call them overpriced, they work out of the box with as minimal config required as possible.
Had no clue about Magnetometer! Thanks a lot :)

One of my main reason for using Android is I hate being forced to use iTunes to update and sync.

I was always amazed when a friend that had an iPhone said all his (music|photos) were wiped by iTunes when he plugged in his phone, again. It seems like such an easy thing to get right, but if you can't get it right, toss up a dialog "do you want to reset this device's (photo|music) store?"

American Household : [XXXXXX------------------------]

European Household : [----------]

Where the X's are electricity usage by American households on air conditioning (20% of total electricity use), which is equal to 60% of all electricity used by a European household.
Very cool. I was very close to going all-in with OCaml a few years back when I made the switch to FP. I still love their module system -- and am very disappointed to see F# leaving its roots and becoming just another .NET language (which has it's good parts and bad parts)

What swayed me at the time was the fact that you had to roll your own libraries for so many things that you get out of the box with .NET. I understand that's changing, but in my mind it's just not ready yet. Maybe in a year or two. I'm still thinking of moving on to something else. It's either going to be OCaml or Haskell.

Would love to see some folks doing this same kind of thing with F#, talking about real-world production systems.

I've done some small app work with it, and blogged about it ( http://tiny-giant-books.com/blog/real-world-f-programming-pa... ), but what the F# community could use is some fans like OCaml has with Jane Street.
This is super cool. It will compliment another tool I use called screen ruler very nicely!
This is awesome! Such a wonderfully simple idea, and pretty nice execution to boot. I normally rely heavily on Cmd-Shift-4 on OS X for measuring stuff on screen (click, drag, then Esc to cancel before actually taking a screenshot), but I have a feeling this extension will be a pretty significant improvement over my approach. Great work!

For those that don't see a use case: Chrome's dev tools work well for measuring things within the context of the box model, but so much of what I measure on a regular basis isn't captured there. The best example I can think of is measurements relative to some text's baseline—the distance between the bottom baseline of some text and the border of its parent container, including adjustments for line height, padding, and related margins, for instance. This extension would also work for things that aren't even represented in the box model, like the distance between two shapes in a <canvas> element.

One feature suggestion: it'd be great to be able to click or use another keyboard shortcut to set arbitrary anchor points on the page. That way, I could measure the distance between elements that aren't necessarily on the same vertical or horizontal axis. That's one thing that OS X's screenshot utility is great for (though perhaps unintentionally).
It does actually. I think I see where you think it does not work but European homes are also smaller and in general more energy efficient. So consumption overall is a small fraction of what an equivalent household in the US would spend.

A large factor in that is that energy prices here are substantially higher per unit than in the US.

To break that statement down:

- AC acounts for approximately 20% of year-round electricity consumption by American households

So when looking at the average household electricity bill 20% of that consumption will be on account of AC

- and 15% of total electricity use.

That's if you factor in all other uses besides household (so including offices and factories, and offices also use AC so that's why the percentage didn't drop that much).

- The widespread use of AC explains in large part why Americans use so much more electricity than Europeans: AC electricity use by an American household equals 60% of all electricity used by the average European household.

Taking the total consumption of the average European household and comparing that to the US electricity bill the AC consumption portion of the American household is already equal to 60% of the EU total household consumption.

So if the EU household consumes 100KWh (just a number) the US household will expend 60KWh on AC, for a total consumption of about 300KWh. So three times as much total consumption. Just by cutting the AC component out that would drop to 2.4 times as much. The remainder can be explained by differences in area, more energy efficient appliances, less electric heat (very rare in the EU, baseboard heating is very normal in the US) and in general a more energy consumption conscious lifestyle because of the higher energy prices.
If it happens that often then iTunes isn't communicating clearly enough to the user what is about to happen. I'm reminded of this advice:

> The principle is simple: it's not your fault. (Side note: if you don't understand this reference, then do yourself a favor and watch this video[1].)
It's not your fault. It's not the user's fault. It's not the designer's fault. In fact, it's nobody's fault. What's crystal clear to you might be confusing to me, and no one is to blame for that. It's just something we have to work with. — Source: http://moz.com/blog/5-lessons-learned-from-100000-usability-...
