Obviously larger screen iPhones helped a lot. Samsung supposedly copied Apple with rounded edges. And Apple copied Samsung with phablet sized device. I still remember reading the negative reviews when Samsung first came out with phablets.

I wonder who will copy what next...
I've been in two raids at underground clubs in NYC. Wasn't SWAT, but it was vice and they barged in both times with shields, helmets and body armor. The second time, I had the unfortunate luck of walking out of the bathroom, right next to the entrance, just as they were kicking the door in.

It's not illegal to play at these places in NYC, so nothing really happens to you except for a lot of empty threats of something happening to you when they bring you into the back room to point out who the dealer and floor guy is. I remained silent both times, which annoyed the detectives, but they always let me go after about five minutes of silence.

This was back in the heyday. Before I moved to Vietnam, I stopped going to the underground clubs because Parx Casino was about an hour or so away and had more fish.

I can see how this benefits Yahoo's shareholders, and they are after all a publicly traded company.

It still seems like an exceptionally poor way for Yahoo itself to reap the rewards of this long term investment, particularly when it needs to inject some life into its business by spending on talent acquisition or new ventures.

Here's how I think the Alibaba investment breaks down for Yahoo:

Yahoo paid $1bn to Alibaba in 2005. They sold a portion back to Alibaba in 2012 for $4.3bn (after tax), and returned $3.65bn of that to shareholders. Yahoo made $0.65bn after taxes.

They sold more shares during the Alibaba IPO, and made $6.3bn (after tax), with a pledge to return $3.15bn. Yahoo made $3.15bn from the IPO.

Yahoo's remaining stake is now valued at $40bn, which they intend to spin off into another company -- seemingly with no ownership interest for Yahoo (and therefore, no further financial stake).

So over the course of ten years, Yahoo turned $1bn into $3.8bn. A 14.3% APY is nothing to sneeze at, but It sure is a far cry from the $103bn / 58.5% APY they could have had if they retained all of their Alibaba shares today. Even taking 40% off for taxes and a few billion for dividends, that is a lot of walking around town money.

Besides shareholder goodwill and getting Alibaba off their back, I don't see what Yahoo gets of any real value. Yahoo's stock price will collapse when the Alibaba shares are spun off. A company worth $1-10bn has a lot more potential buyers than a $50bn company, and someone will acquire and consume Yahoo shortly thereafter. Unless they announce plans to spin off the Yahoo Japan shares, in which case a potential acquirer just needs to wait to pick them up for a few hundred million after that event.

Thanks. I was pressed for time when I made the comment and it's been a few months since I listened to the talk, so I didn't trust my ability to put together an accurate summary in the time I had available.
I'm borrowing from snapchat here which uses a similar concept (tap for pics, hold for video) and tried to cut/avoid additional steps. As for focussing: why must focus and trigger be two distinct actions?
Both Linux and Mac OS is good for web development. I think it depends on hardware and tool chains you are using.
Usually, Linux and Mac OS have the same tool chains, like Eclipse+Rail+Gulp+Bower+NodeJS.
So OS is not a problem, hardware is what you should be concerned about.
It will save lots of time if you have a high performance computer.
and I think the hardware of Mac Book is better that most of other PC/laptops.

I have a Thinkpad E420 laptop which has Windows 7 preinstalled. I upgraded its memory to 4GB. But it is still not enough in windows 7. so I installed Linux Mint Xfce. It is really fast and takes up little memory. But the CPU and disk is not good enough, I still have to wait a time when opening Eclipse or Firefox. So now, I'm planning to buy a Mac Book.
I wonder what fun new toys the police are going to buy with it?
I disagree. Foxconn employees are employees of Foxconn in name only. They are effectively employees of Apple. No Apple hardware would be produced at the price point, in the quantity needed if Foxconn did not exist. So imo, the revenue per employee of Apple as we are talking about is skewed badly.
>Slack's only real threat, IMHO, is Whatsapp. Whatsapp has a brilliant mobile experience which works offline too - Slack is weak there and I don't know why they can't have a mobile app that works properly offline. With Whatsapp coming to desktop (although via a mobile go-through), whatsapp is suddenly a bit more usable for a team.

The main reason for me. For switching from Whatsapp to Slack was because I completely suck at typing on a mobile phone. I type 150 wpm on my mechanical keyboard but typing a single sentence without typos on my mobile phone? No can do.

I heard a lot about Slack from Reddit/HN. I gave it a try and haven't looked back since. I'm a student and we use it for a kind of personal facebook group. It's great. If you are in uni I highly suggest you try it out.
And how much of the revenue will actually be paid to US treasury as tax? Just wondering...

General purpose digital computation is often power limited (either from the supply energy or thermals of the device) and there is an (academic) resurgence of analog computation on data prior to digital blocks to reduce the power footprint of a part. Most applications of this are RF. Conditioning signals as you say these days and in the future isn't just bandwidth limiting and shifting the baseband.

Sounds like a textbook case of a capability trap and a failure to recognize that an improvement programs may actually result in a reduction of productivity in the short term.

From 'Nobody Ever Gets Credit for Fixing Problems That Never Happened'[0] that was discussed a few days ago [1] :

In one firm we studied, the general manager laid out his goals for improving the product development process [...]. At the same time, they launched many new development projects in anticipation of the expected productivity gains. Viewed through the lens of management’s mental model these decisions were entirely rational. However, that mental model [...] led them to the erroneous belief that the delay between improvement effort and results was short and that their engineers were under-utilized, undisciplined, unmotivated, and unwilling to adhere to the specified process.

The company spent millions and invested countless person-hours to create a new product development process. The new process [...] also increased monitoring, including a structured stage-gate review process and mandated use of project management software. While there were some pockets of success, in most cases the effort had little impact. The leaders of the change effort often attributed its failure to the engineers’ lack of discipline:

“A lot of the engineers felt that [the new process] was no value-add and that they should have spent all their time doing engineering and not filling out project worksheets. It’s brushed off as bureaucratic.”—Manager A

Yet, when we asked engineers why the effort failed, we got a different story:

“People had to do their normal work as well as [use the new project management system]. There just weren’t enough hours in the day, and the work wasn’t going to wait.”—Engineer B

“The new process is a good one. Someday I’d like to work on a project that actually uses it.”—Engineer E

While managers felt the engineers had little interest in following the process, engineers became increasingly frustrated with leaders they felt had no understanding of what was really required to develop new products. Faced with the double bind of hitting aggressive performance targets and equally aggressive improvement targets, they were forced to cut corners while still appearing to follow the process. As one engineer remarked,

As management discovers the engineers’ shortcuts and workarounds, their view that the engineers can’t be trusted is confirmed, and they are forced to step up their monitoring.

Maybe I'm doing the math wrong, but if herd immunity threshold is 82 to 94% then isn't it ok that 7% of the children aren't immunized?
MRIs do not work like you think they do.

A single measurement is that you magnetize the body in a particular pattern, then watch how that magnetic pattern fades. Then do it again in another pattern and repeat. Think of the patterns as being terms in a Fourier series, which you eventually will do a Fourier transform on to get the original thing.

The name of the game, therefore, is to be able to get away with as few measurements as possible, and to be able to perform measurements here while still recovering from measurements there. Oh, and while we're at it, let's try not to be thrown off from things that tend to move around. Like arteries do every time another heartbeat comes through.

So yes..there is a lot of interactivity in an MRI measurement.
I stand corrected, then. Should watch more porn it seems :P
The things is, it's not necessarily true in this case.

While C was intended to run as close to bare metal as possible, and 99% of current implementations do, that doesn't have to be the case. The C specification describes an abstract machine, and uses abstract concepts, with explicit "as-if" rules saying that implementations may, in many cases, do whatever they want, providing that conforming code runs as if it would on a naive implementation.

So there's no reason at all that, for example, pointers have to be implemented as actual bare addresses in a virtual address space which cannot be bounds checked. It should be perfectly possible to create a new implementation, with a new ABI, which defines pointers as a checked type such that all accesses through a pointer are accurately bounds checked, with a guaranteed "virtual" segfault happening whenever an invalid read or write would have occurred.

Sure, it's not ABI-compatible (by defualt) with current bare-metal C ABIs, and would require shims to work with bare-metal C libraries - but that's no different than Rust and similar other new languages. Sure, it's not quite as fast as bare-metal C implementations due to enforced bounds checking, but it's not going to be slower than Rust and similar which do the same job.

And the advantage would be, we wouldn't need to rewrite all our code. We could just recompile all the existing C code we already have to this new safe ABI, rather than having to rewrite everything from scratch in some new language!

Sure, C isn't the nicest language to use. But we already have plenty of existing code that uses it. Why don't we just write a new compiler back-end and take advantage of all that code in a safe manner?

The article misses a more likely reason for the declining sales: maybe sales of the iPad are declining - not because the iPad has lost its appeal - but because the market is saturating and most people who wanted an iPad, have already got one. Folks who have iPads that are 3 or 4 year old are not in the market for newer models - as the old ones are working just fine.

> When I step back and look at the world, for all of our terrible mistakes, we (the western capitalist states) really are the good guys, because personally and politically, overwhelmingly, we really do despise the despots, and the racists, and the needless violence and barbarism that rises to power in too many places in the world.

The history of western capitalist states has largely been one of rampant colonialism. [1] Post-WW2, the U.S. has overthrown countless governments, often democratic ones, to install regimes that would carry out U.S. policy, and serve western national and corporate interests. [2]

> on a commercial timescale one year is nothing.

I've worked in commercial environments where common invocations of `tar` did not work, because `tar` was a decade out of date. I had to learn things and habits that had died before I even started programming. It wasn't pleasant. Do not underestimate the age and stubbornness to upgrade of some environments.

Recently, I've helped migrate software from Ubuntu Precise to Trusty, and the amount of differences make things mildly frustrating. We don't get to just run one or the other, and we can't just drop everything and move to Trusty. We have to continue to support the old while we build support for the new, briefly support both, transition to the new, then tear out the support for the old. Migrated. It's a lot of work when the changes are huge, but much more manageable when I can take the changes more piecemeal (it's one if statement, as opposed to many, that I need to manage at any given time). That's in a production environment.

I run Gentoo at home. I much prefer its rolling releases to Ubuntu and Debian which I ran alongside and before, respectively. Things break every now and then. It's a tad annoying, but it gets fixed sooner or later.

In other news, I am super happy with my iPad Air (2013 model) and don't plan on upgrading until new apps no longer support whatever OS can comfortably run on the hardware (I'm guessing iOS9 will be tough to handle, and some apps will stop supporting iOS8 around E2016-2017)

I'm on a 2013 Macbook Pro right now. I've had zero problems with it. It's fast, reliable, quality hardware with a battery that lasts me around 10 hours a day (if I use Safari, if I use Chrome it cuts the battery down to 7-8 hours...it's really a hog now).

BUT, I'm in the market for a new Laptop. I'm one of the few people that liked the announcements from Microsoft about Windows 10 and honestly, I'm bored with Mac right now. So I'm looking at good laptops that will exceed or at least meet the quality and battery longevity of the Macbook Pro. So I'm seriously looking at the new (not out yet, but announced) Thinkpad T250s. Great keyboard and unique Track-point mouse (always intrigued me), battery life near 20 hours (with the extra 6-cell battery option), durable build (like a tank), and the ability to dock it. Not to mention I could also throw Linux on it without any problems (Linux on this Macbook Pro is spotty at best, as some things work, some are wonky...same with Bootcamp and Windows).

But bottom line is, which platform you choose doesn't really matter much anymore. I could switch over to Windows from being 100% Apple for the past 8 years and not have much of a problem.

Yeah, not sure why geeks seem to have this thing about sleep optimization. Whether it's a wristband to monitor your REM cycles, or a little app to track your sleep habits, or polyphasic weirdness, or now this thing to regulate sleeping parameters. It all points to some kind of psychological issue that many programmers seem to have.

For people who tinker with the maddeningly complex systems of software how can the "engineering problem" of sleep be that hard? Just get your ass into bed at a decent time, and then give yourself eight hours. In fact given the flexible schedules of many tech jobs it should be easier for us as a profession to be rested than, say, a baker who has to get up at 3:30am.

But like I said it may be a psychological thing, a mental association between sleep and giving up. "You'll have plenty of time to sleep in the grave" or whatever the saying is. So we want to feel we have control over this aspect of ourselves. Hence the gadgetry smothering a simple idea of just laying down, turning off the phone, and covering up with some comfortable blankets. In fact I think I'm going to go do that right now. Goodnight, HN. :)
I think you're right that people underestimate the Glitch experience. The Slack developers have gone through an experience that almost no other startups have.

To be precise, it's not that JIT is now allowed in iOS; that would be a security issue because it would basically allow sandboxed apps to create executable memory area, which is considered very bad. On the contrary, what just happens is that WKWebView is piggy-backing on the new extension system to run in a different process, with a different relaxed sandbox,
and communicates to the host app with an IPC channel (similar to eg. Chrome extensions). It looks like there are not enough features exposed over this IPC channel to make a fully featured browser, yet.
