And you can't really follow Rules 2 & 4 when you holster it, unless you remove your holster first, which is often not a good option (like after the shooting appears to be over, but before others like the police arrive).

I will never willingly carry a striker fired weapon: no external hammer, so if something, like a windbreaker tie or finger catches on the trigger, you can't DTRT with your thumb on the nonexistent hammer to stop it from firing.

Flip side is what one of my instructors called manual safeties: "death levers". If you forget to flick it to safe....

Another side is that manual safeties make guns somewhat "proprietary" as Massad Ayoob puts it. Some police officers have avoided bad outcomes when their weapons were grabbed, as the criminal struggled to make it fire they could take effective action. Not so much of an issue for those who carry concealed.
Amazing. Perfect example of when Peter Thiel says that the best investments are in companies not easily categorized. That test works here imo

Amazing answer and awesome link. That would be a massive boon. What startup do you work for?
Some of the issues you mentioned seem to arise when you do single consulting gig at a time (which I've run into before). It sounds like you have had a particularly bad experience, but I agree these are things I'm willing to put up as part of getting the company up and running. Sorry if I was unclear, but I'm primarily interested in developing a product or SaaS or even PaaS, rather than a consulting company so hopefully I wouldn't run into the issues to the extent that you did

For me it's a combination of ease of use and ease of carrying.

The iPhone 5 fit comfortably in one hand and was small enough for easy one-handed use. It was also big enough (for me) to read text without much effort (I have, once corrected with contacts, fantastically good vision though).

For carrying, I normally wear cargo pants so this isn't a huge issue. But when I go out or get dressed up for something the iPhone 5 fit comfortably into slack front pockets for me. The iPhone 6 is big enough that it makes a noticeable bulge when I sit down. It's also causes my pants to feel uncomfortably tight around my thigh. This leaves me the option of either pulling it out and setting it on the table (rude on a date, seems like I'm setting up to receive a call or texts) or leaving it in the car (an option, but not when I'm trying to meet up with people and someone gets lost (every time) and calls me for directions).

You gotta realize that at the point where you observe a women fearing for her safety and having to manage her life around constant harassment and threats of violence and your public reaction is "clearly she must be making it up for attention and all those benefits she's getting from being a public target", you've gone so far off the rails of the process of forming conclusions from reasonable assumptions that your implicit agenda is showing really, really flagrantly.

Win32 is the only API that can be used in the long run and is maintained and improved by MS.

All the other APIs like WinForms, WPF, MFC, Silverlight, WinRT get abandoned after a few years. Yes, they still run but you end up with a codebase that uses outdated tools without a good migration path to a never API.

It would be really nice if they would actually stick to something.
Thanks, that link says 300 ppi (magazines) and 720 ppi (fine arts prints). Very informative!
I remember being mocked when talking on my Treo 180 due to its size when fully open...I find the increased dimensions of new phones amusing in this light.

I'm still looking for a replacement for my Nexus One that matches three criteria: metal case, stock Android, not stupidly large. With the noticeable exception of the tiny amount of app storage the N1 still holds up well for my purposes.

If the problem is my choice of the term 'battle', I was borrowing a phrase from game theory: http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Battle_of_the_sexes_(game_theory) which I genuinely believe the subject matter has many contextual parallels to.

Obviously I do not intend to speak as if the social conversation about sexism in gaming, tech and other industries is an actually even battle where both sides have equal rhetorical or empirical firepower to "win" or "lose".

And if indeed the problem is that I called it a 'battle', then I'll conditionally accept correction on that (even if I think it ignores the larger point I was attempting to make).

I think now is a good time for me to step aside from this before we go off the rails.

Going to wait and see the reviews about the camera. The Nexus 5 had the absolute worst camera I've used in a smartphone. It takes 3 or 4 seconds to focus and gets unfocused super easily. I have so many terrible pictures and am embarrassed giving my phone to someone else to take a picture with.
You may not like it, but there's no justification needed other than both parties to the agreement being happy with it.
My guess is that the industry is in a rush to get some where in regards to screen size, who ever gets their first can then work on battery life. Its still all about spec wars.

Honestly, for a lower price point, you're better off looking into a Moto e/g/x which seem to be the better options for the lower price points.

I'm a little shocked that they're breaking the $400 mark at the lower end, which seemed to be where the past few phones started... and that the n9 will be more than a bit pricier than the n7 was. I may actually be considering just getting nVidia's tablet this generation.

My last n7 was stolen, as was the one before it... So paying so much more than the $200 price really isn't something that appeals to me.
That's way passed the level I'd call being an asshole:

Nevertheless I heard (I should investigate this rumour) that being lazy enabled an easier integration of the IO system so there seems to be a connection between pure (i.e. side-effect free) and laziness.

To be honest, the whole GHC runtime is sortof a VM. It manages thunks, evaluates them etc. It may not have the same overhead as JVM, but there definitely is some.

correct, you can even turn your phone off once the movie starts.
@Touche: Okey doke. We just have had different experiences. Remotes get misplaced, but my phone is in my pocket. I've never had a conversation like that with friends when we're deciding what to watch. We're both looking at our phones, searching and exploring content our own way. No one says "third row down, second movie," they say, "How about Frozen?"

I'm far sighted anyways, so I do appreciate the bigger screen... though I'd be happy with 720p at the 6" size, because without my reading glasses on, I won't notice the difference, and tend to set my phones to larger fonts mode.
Shame it comes with a much weaker Atom processor instead of the new 64-bit Tegra processor, that's already in the Nexus 9 tablet. That decision doesn't make any sense to me, which shows once again that Google's Intel-related decisions are all political, and not technical.

In a conventional language you have to decide when something gets evaluated, and whether to cache the value or recompute it every time. These decisions get baked into your code early on because the control and data flow are intertwingled.

In Haskell you just specify the data flow and the compiler looks after the control flow. Sometimes the compiler's default idea is less than optimal, so you can tweak it by adding bangs and other strictness annotations to the code. The semantics change slightly because maybe now you evaluate an expression that throws an exception or goes into an endless loop, whereas before it wasn't evaluated, but apart from that the changes are guaranteed not to affect the meaning of your code.

Sure, garbage collected languages are not suitable for hard real time, but interactive apps and games are soft real time (a 100 ms delay once per hour isn't going to break the game). GHC is already there.

Perhaps they are offering this as an addition to ISP (as in, you can have HBOGo as an add-on to your Comcast internet plan).
I guess I'm being pedantic by saying that there is clearly an application running on the chromecast, which the controlling device sends information to, because it's admittedly more like a dumb proxy for the application running on the controlling device. But it's not like it is completely dependent on that device - you can turn on a movie and turn off your phone while you watch it.
Ah, but the Nexus 6 only has a 4 year lifespan. Then .. time to die.

I thought that Google decided not to release a phone named Nexus-6 out of deference to Blade Runner and Phillip K Dick's family who were annoyed that they used the name.
Not to sound cliche but it sounds like you want the Z3 compact :P. I do agree with you that the size war is becoming ridiculous.
Helion here. There are pretty big differences. They did get the high Beta and compact/modular parts right. The primary differences are that Helion operates entirely pulsed with simple non-superconducting magnets. That allows us to go to higher temperatures, cleaner fuels, directly recovery energy, and if everything works as planned should eliminate the wall concerns and need for particle beams.

I do think what they are doing is interesting. If its like the Gas Dynamic Trap or Tandem Mirror it has promise, atleast from the fundamental physics point of view. Researchers in Novosibirsk had encouraging results in the last 5 years. They still have a long road ahead to get to fusion-relevant temperatures, but we are staying tuned to this one.

Not just the medical system. "Shooting the messenger" is standard procedure across most industries, so people learn pretty quickly to keep their heads low and do as told.
I'm interesting in running Go on arm64 servers, so Linux. Linux/arm64 hardware is not widely available, but it is available if you need it. I'm interested in this tablet because then I could have my own arm64 hardware, with Linux, to test on. Right now I don't own the hardware that I use. A darwin/arm64 port doesn't interest me.

After I will have finished linux/arm64, I am sure someone else will do darwin/arm64 soon, and it won't be too difficult. Arm64 is difficult because I need to write a new compiler, but once we have that, adding another target to an already supported operating system is a breeze.

On top of that darwin/arm64 would never become an official port if it required a jailbroken device (same reason why there's no official darwin/arm, although that might change).
Let's go further. If I'm writing, say, numerical calculations, types can save me from getting kilometers when I expect miles (or, worse, kilograms). What it can't do is save me from numerical instability, round off errors, and a whole host of other problems known to the field of numerical analysis.

If my code is calculating the angle of a control surface on a plane, the type system is not going to say anything about whether I get 40 results every second. Without those constant, timely updates, the plane is going to crash.

A robust type system means that "your code is correct by construction"? That seems incredibly naive. There's more ways for programs to be wrong than are provable via a type system.
And of course the day before Apple announces its new iPad (allegedly). I really like having two very well funded companies in all out competition, it makes for some really great features and options in both products.

The size thing is what I'm interested in though. I'm waiting to see if there actually is a 12" iPad pro tomorrow, otherwise I'll pull the trigger on a Note Pro. I get the pocket/purse argument for 9" but my iPad has become pretty much a replacement book. Between 1dollarscan, Oreilly's drm free ebooks, and my pdf library of papers and data sheets, and various magazines, nearly all my space is being consumed by reading material. So for me (weird case I know) it is my library in my hand, and I really would like it to be a 12 - 13" screen.

That said, the Nook HD+ is my 'budget' 9" Android tablet that is my 'look up things' / 'play music' / 'cast netflix' device and this could easily replace that.

This. The SO community is not very open to newbies and it's very difficult to get a well thought out answer that teaches the issue. Someone asks a simple question and you get a link to a Google search or some sample code that couldn't possibly make sense to the person asking.

Maybe this is natural to answering such questions on forums or maybe it's the results of everyone fighting for points and upvotes. My money is on the latter.

Point is there is MUCH greater value in talking directly to an expert so long as you can get in touch with one which is a tough nut to crack.

I'd hesitate to call any of the players in this space "established". It's still a wide open market. Of all the people I know, maybe a handful own an AppleTV, a few use a Chromecast. Other than that, there's tons of market share for the taking.
It used to be you'd upgrade that with an SD card, but now that's not an option? That's a little odd.
> Most people get tired of passwords and use either bad passwords or just one for all.

That is what password managers fix. iCloud Keychain has gone a long way towards mainstreaming this. It's built in to Safari and securely stored, encrypted with your OS/device's master password -- which is an improvement on Firefox & Chrome's approach, where master passwords are optional.

From a usability standpoint that email method is way worse, at a minimum due to the latency issues. Waiting a minute for an email to arrive can feel like an hour when you're trying to log in to do something urgent. Password managers work "magically".

For a security standpoint the email method is also worse, because it is only usable with very long-lived sessions -- which is not the best security practice. The article even heavily qualifies this method as not appropriate for sites users "visit frequently".

So by the author's own logic, this method is only appropriate for sites that NO users visit frequently. Which is no sites.

Finally, the nail in the coffin for the email approach is that it's incompatible with the more general password manager solution. So those users who do need to visit a given site frequently can't use a password manager (at least without redirecting themselves to an alternative method, which is also poor usability).
I used every nexus phone too. When I first heard about Nexus 6 specs I thought they are ridiculous too. Then I was given Nexus 6 couple months ago. At first I thought you have to be crazy to use it. After 30 minutes I thoughts it's actually not that bad. After one day, I loved it...

It feels big sometimes, but I really didn't mind it. There is small dent on the back of Nexus 6 which helps you hold it with one hand. The screen is fantastic and doing anything on this phone is such a pleasure. I type a lot, and I found it much easier to type on larger screen. Sometimes I had to use my Nexus 5, and I really struggled and thought it's too small!
It's doubtful that this was unintentionally released hours after Google makes new announcements about its Nexus devices. A classic 'steal-the-thunder' move.

I think Google still ends up getting more press, since their releases are more interesting, but it's not a bad play by Apple.
Thanks for these excellent remarks.

We differentiate ourselves from the Android Speech API in several ways:

1) As a developer, with Google you have no way to customize the speech engine by providing your language model. Wit.ai builds a specific, customized configuration for each app. If your app is specific and you cannot tell Google what kind of thing it should expect, accuracy will be bad especially in noisy environments. Wit.ai builds a specific language model for each app automatically and in real time (each time Wit.ai learns more examples about your app, it's updated), and queries several speech engines in parallel. To do that it uses not only your data, but also relevant data from the community. This is the core of our value proposition and not something Google does provide today.

2) Google keep their Natural Language Understanding layer (what translates text to structured, actionable data) for themselves. Developers cannot access this. They're left with free text, but they often need actionable data.

3) Wit.ai is cross-platform. We have SDKs for iOS, Android, Linux, etc. [1] or you can just stream raw audio to our API. Android Speech API is just available on Android (well, you could hack it and use it from elsewhere but you're not supposed to, and you can be shut down anytime). More and more wearables and smart devices will run Linux. For instance hundreds of developers use Wit.ai on Raspberry Pi.

As for the Apple doc you linked, it's Mac only (no iOS) + it just recognizes a few phrases you provide in advance. I think it's a very old API that's still here :)

Regarding listen.ai, yes please we would love to have Google (especially Now) there. We have the Siri founder, the top Cortana guy, the former CEO of Nuance... but nobody from Google yet.

Moto G is not sold directly through Motorola here in Canada, which means dealing with the terrible support provided by phone companies if you want an unlocked handset.

I've been planning to ditch my aging Galaxy Nexus in the coming months, hoping that the Nexus 6 would be a great option. But the size and the price really are deal breakers.

I spent a week and tracked down the Nexus 7 2nd gen last week to replace my older Nexus 7 tablet. I knew the new devices were coming out this week, but I love the form factor of the 7" and the device itself. They are still worth buying, you can find them for cheaper now. I'm generally an Apple user but the Nexus 7 is a great device, once you fall for it its hard to give it up.
