Good question!

In theory, the disk cache uses spare memory that applications are not using, so it is not guaranteed to be present if I am hosting it on a server with little-to-no free memory. However, if an application contains the cache then it will not be eliminated in a memory-starved environment.

In practice, this will probably rarely happen on my server.

I'm really hoping they pull this off. Their hardware is alright, perhaps a bit cheap feeling. But the software, yikes. Huawei understands memory so poorly, that they have a button that appears every time you try to switch app. Said button force kills every app that's running. Then gleefully proclaims that it "freed" up memory. It's beyond idiotic.

It feels like they modified Android purely for the sake of modifying it. Hopefully with the watch they'll be a bit more careful. Huawei's the only major company (?) making large-screen long-life devices. I don't have to charge my Huawei phone (Mate 2) every day. That's a relief, unlike every other major phone. (And, just $300.)
Selling Bad Software Is Like Crime – Dilbert
It's not a bold gamble, educating your market is definitely taking into account as a cost of capital, from consumer electronics to, food, to tech startups. And it's definitely not about hope, there is a clear marketing strategy to get people to buy again. Just google free trials and samples, even supermarkets have been doing this forever, it's not a new concept.

This is because it is ALWAYS more expensive to get a new customer than keep an older one.

In software, the cost to onboard a new user is or should be insignificant. If you don't have this working for you, go back and try again.

Figure 1 is the money plot. In short, FIT scores below 0 show survival percentages that drop roughly linearly from ~90% down to 25% at a FIT of -200. Above a FIT of 0, survival percentages rise roughly linearly to near 100%.

TL;DR: you want your FIT score to be better than 0.

Basically, if you treat render functions as "pure functional" functions, you can employ memoization and avoid recalculation. I hope this isn't the subject of patents, because it seems pretty basic.

I'm going to guess that the last line, the one with the truncated text, says "Youtube, it's awesome" in full. Context is pretty powerful; this doesn't seem like a bad image at all: to me it demonstrates precisely that a circular face isn't a problem.
Or a circular aperture could naturally be viewed as a "spy hole". Why not use the gyros, the fact that the watch is on a movable limb, and there is typically a single viewer, to fake up a holograpic view, whereby a virtual screen is bigger than the watch and the user sees the whole screen by moving their wrist relative to their eyes.
I think what's unusual about Apple here is:

1. How vehement their condemnation is (especially since, in retrospect, they're already busy working on exactly what they're condeming),

2. How quickly and comprehensively they flip the story when their version is ready and

3. How predictable this pattern is for them. Given past experience, I almost expect Apple to be working on actual toaster-fridges in a skunkworks project somewhere (in addition to the metaphorical ones I'm positive they're working on).

The statement is all kinds of wrong.

You can transfer large quantities of data to an intelligent computer system nearly instantaneous. It seems plausible that this data could encapsulate said years of experience. What is missing is that ability to create a computer than can process said data and create consciousness with it.

Sure in the first truly AI-capable systems it will most likely be easier training them over the years in human-time, but it seems to me very unlikely to be needed when AI becomes established and at that point you should be able to create X copies of intelligence(s) at will.

And for all this talk about AI terminator doomsdays, these seems to be much less talk about what can be accomplished with it.

Let's say you create AI system, it lives in a air-gapped system, the system is carefully crafted to establish reality for the AI(s) that exists solely in the virtual world. Then you create a scientist AI, mathematician AI, engineer AI, etc. Then you have a hard problem you want to solve, great, spin up 1000 scientist AI's, 10000 engineer AI's, X project coordinator AI's, etc. Let's just say they have roughly the same capabilities as their human counterparts and work at similar speed, but do not sleep, grow tired, form unions, nor do anything other than work on the task assigned. Create a system (API?) that allows them to somehow interact with our physical reality but without understanding it whatsoever to allow them to do experiments and test results. How long would it take for such a system to recreate all of google's infrastructure, or develop the next space shuttle, or cure cancer?

I think it's important to note the a true AI(however you define it) does not have to be self aware. It doesn't even have to be aware of our physical reality. Once we reach the point where we understand consciousness well enough to recreate it, it seems likely that will be able to tune it however which way we'd like: remove self-consciousness making it act on more what we would consider instinct, configure it's reward pathways in whatever way the directs the agent to whatever task the AI designer wishes and yes, even improve it. It will be very interesting when the system spins on not 1 average human level engineer but something like a Einstein-Newton hybrid that works several orders of magnitude faster than human time. I would guess the danger there would be less from the AI(as you could isolate it from our physical reality by isolating in a virtual world) and more the extremely advanced knowledge/technology gained from such a system.

The legal background of this case from Maryland must have something to do with the weird result so far: "[Maryland Child Protective Services] officials have said they are guided in part by a state law that says children younger than 8 must be left with a reliable person who is at least 13. The law addresses children locked or confined in a building, dwelling, motor vehicle or other enclosed space, but does not mention children outdoors on a walk." My state, Minnesota, doesn't appear to have such a law, and it doesn't appear to have CPS officers who would give such a crazy interpretation to a comparable law. I have certainly had my children walking all over my neighborhood (a full mile from my house in either of two directions, for shopping or for trips to the library) when the oldest in the party was ten years old, for most of the last decade. It is very routine for my children to be out walking in our neighborhood, even during school hours, as we are a homeschooling family. This story is news in part because it is very unusual.

While I agree that other languages can handle things in a cleaner way at the expense of performance, I also think that treating a smartphone with insanely powerful processors as if they are embedded devices is also a bit disappointing. Most of the worlds python code is probably running on commodity hardware with considerably less horsepower than todays smartphones. Even in python's case for instance, if you need to drop into something closer to the metal (most of the time probably unnecessary), you can quite easily.

I think this might be an example of Ive's lack of experience in UX versus industrial design is showing. Not saying he doesn't know UX but it isn't his primary mode of operation. Or they simply didn't have time to do a circular UI.

I'm a big believer that the best smart watches will be round. A circle is more aesthetically pleasing than a rectangle. More importantly it has better ergonomics and you could do things like rotate the watch face according to hand position.

Lots of content looks really well when encapsulated by a circle since it looks more "organic". Photos, faces, maps, time. It's a little bit worse for chunks of text however but most snippets displayed like a SMS should be pretty short.

There's also a huge opportunity to use a rotatable bezel as tactile complement to a touch screen, making zooming, and scrolling easier. Being excellent for things like "dial selectors" and preventing smudges and being all around easier to find, grip and manipulate than the screen or a crown. Having invented the scroll wheel for the iPod for nearly the exact same reasons one would think Apple would be wise to this fact.

So what about the claim that it should be rectangle because "a huge function is lists". I think this simple is lack of imagination on the UX part. You have to think of the main purposes for a watch, as a complement but not replacement for a phone.

I actually don't see many scenarios where you'd want to browse through large lists or wall of texts on your watch. In most cases you want to view small nuggets of information and do some basic manipulation. In many cases I think "scrolling" could be replaced by for instance simply switching the whole circle content and having some indicator in the perimeter.

I suspect however the reason that both Android and Apple is going primary the rectangular route is that it does however require more imagination and radically different UI's than a phone, and time weren't on their side to do that quite yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if most if not all smartwatches in the future are circular
Cross-posting my comment from the other FREAK thread;

If such a suite was enabled, how would the plethora of SSL testing sites out there have graded it? I assume a passing grade would not have allowed insecure suites such as these to be allowed. Insecure cipher is insecure; that would not typically be worthy of a CVE? I guess the bug is that the client will accept it even if it wasn't on the clients cipher list. But it would still have to be on the servers accepted cipher list...

This is all OpenSSL has to say about it;

RSA silently downgrades to EXPORT_RSA [Client] (CVE-2015-0204)
==============================================================

Severity: Low

An OpenSSL client will accept the use of an RSA temporary key in a non-
export RSA key exchange ciphersuite. A server could present a weak
temporary key and downgrade the security of the session.

This issue affects all current OpenSSL versions: 1.0.1, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8.

OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1k.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0p.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zd.

This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 22nd October 2014 by Karthikeyan
Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA. The fix was developed by Stephen
Henson of the OpenSSL core team.

I find these notes are usually too curt to really understand what's going on...
Also, that CVE is from Jan 8, 2015, while this is claiming to be a new issue disclosed today. I've seen no mention on the oss-security list of "FREAK", so something is borked with this disclosure if it is a new vulnerability...

P.S. Matthew makes it clear, this is the same issue, just perhaps a novel way of upgrading its stated severity from "Low" to "Name That Vuln!". With Zombies from Walking Dead as the official mascot :-)

as a moto 360 owner its hardly a problem. I can tell right away if its something I want to read in a glance, in this context from the picture alone. I'll immediately dismiss it, otherwise I'll scroll up for more information. Even with gmail notifications, this is not a problem.

I think this entire quote by Ive is similar to Jobs argument, that 3.5" is perfect size or 10" tablet is the perfect size.
yeah, they probably shouldn't be there. It's still solvable though.
I have to admit that the "difficult to build applications upon" is not the best selling point to put up there. But I stand by the security being difficult to quantify in Bitcoin because the mining reward (plus fees) is necessarily small in comparison to the transactions that are being moved (e.g. 25 bitcoins today vs potentially millions of bitcoins moved per block). The problem is that with a bit of coordination from the miners, forking is easy and easily profitable.
It's possible to prove the correctness of non-functional code too. It also tends to be much easier to reason about the time and space behavior of code written in, say, C. In a system with hard real time requirements that's very important.

You also have to consider the compiler. Proving that your Haskell code is correct is largely pointless if you then compile it with a compiler that hasn't been proven correct. At a minimum that's going to mean compiling the code with a lot of the fancier optimizations turned off, which can lead to a rather severe degradation in performance in the case of a pure functional language.

My guess is that there are not currently any functional languages that (i) are significantly easier to formally verify than C or Ada, (ii) have predictable time and space behavior, and (iii) have implementations that are both extremely well-verified and reasonably performant.
> read a message from a glance at a wrist

Do you expect to read all messages you get from a glance? How about emails? In fact, many messages you get won't be fully visible on the screen at one time - so what's the difference? Crucially - who is to say that text is all that can be conveyed when "glancing" at a watch? These things are not kindles.

I'll tell ya, I've owned both a square and a round Android Wear device. Forgetting the comparison to the Apple Watch, I much prefer the round Moto 360 to the square LG. Aside from the aesthetics - ironically, the circular display seems like it fits more on the screen, not less.

Luckily with Android you've got a choice, and the Android Wear team has built great APIs to handle both screen types.

I want something touchable about latency (I tried lots of remote working but it doesn't work "coz" latency). Something like, the usual remote networking app runs on 10 frames per second, we run on 60. Or, given the connection is the same, we are 10-20-50 times better/faster...
I don't know about the communist part, but Huawei is known to have links to the Chinese military. Given recent events about Lenovo and Superfish, it probably is wise to reaccess the security/privacy implications here and not just the shape of the watch.

What's weird is that F-Droid uses the same distribution model as any ordinary Linux distro, where it is assumed that all binaries are compiled from source by the distro maintainers, if for no other reason than to build them against system libraries. The binaries themselves are guaranteed to be built directly from public upstream repositories, in an automated fashion - rather like FreeBSD's ports or Arch's PKGBUILDs.

The real reason Moxie doesn't like F-Droid seems to be that it doesn't provide him with analytics "with a nice web interface that displays graphs and trends of time" - rather a nasty conflict of interest in a product that bills itself as "private" and "secure", if you ask me.
Shouldn't Allura be listed with source-forge (and it listed as open source)? It was my understanding that sf.net isn't running a proprietary fork? (Or maybe the ad server etc isn't part of Allura?).

Apple always has and always will talk down the type of products that it doesn't sell.

Although, I do think they were on to something when they said that large screen phones are too big for your hand.

Ironically I didn't buy an iPhone 6 and moved to my first Android for this reason. It's actually quite difficult now to find a decent spec phone that comfortably fits an average sized hand. Even the 'mini' phones have quite a large footprint. Ended up with a Sony Z3 Compact and I'm pretty happy with it so far (nearly 2 days battery life is awesome).
I guess this sort of gets at the crux of the issue: Do you want it to be more like a scripting language (which would basically give you the mathematical equivalent of "integer" including unlimited size) at the cost of speed, or do you want it to be closer to the implementation in the CPU, which entails dealing with 8/16/32/64 bit limits and sign bits?

Why not have a way to do both? You can get an easy-to-use Int when speed is less of a concern, and can deal with Int16's, Int32's, UInt32's and whatnot when the job demands it.

nyc is also helped once you realize you can get by with zero cars. Your transport cost is $112/mo for an unlimited metro card plus perhaps $100/mo for the odd cab. That replaces car payment, insurance, parking, gas, and repairs -- easily $400+/mo.

Edit: and, distinctly contrary to sf, you won't miss a car. There is a food delivery culture: you may assume the vast majority of restaurants deliver. Seamless web is amazing. Groceries, gyms, dry cleaners, wash-and-folds, restaurants, and delis are so close to the majority of places you can live that you have no need for a vehicle.
