Agreed on all counts. The only ones I can see taking off in any sense are easy to retrofit things like light bulbs and the occasional wireless plug controller like a WeMo if you have a particular load that needs one, not as a standard on every outlet.

But prices need to come down, light output needs to go up (wireless bulbs seem to top out around 60W equivalent), and switches need to not be a $60 optional accessory (looking at you, Hue Tap). Controlling lighting with your phone is neat, only being able to control lighting with your phone sucks.

Long term, I'm sure I'll end up with more IoT devices. But it'll be because they got shoved down our throats and I didn't want to pay more to avoid new "features," not because I wanted a wireless microwave.
It amounts to doing this:

$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519

As usual, on the server, you do something like

$ cat generated-key.pub >> ~you/.ssh/authorized_keys

VERY good point and honestly one that I hadn't thought of. I'm not aware of any publicised cases of Jobs calling out an Android phone but I would believe it, he was an asshole. IIRC he was so anti-android b/c he saw Android as a blatant rip-off of iOS (not weighing in here on either side).

As far as cost of macs I think it's still worth it even if you want to run Ubuntu as your OS b/c they hold their value better than any other laptop I've seen on the market. They also resell FAST which is very nice.

a smart TV can be more expensive and have unwanted features and bugs... an hidden webcam is an example and another is when they stop sending you software updates for your TV because it is "too old"
Those sound nice-to-have features, but (personally) I don't think the lack of those makes something "super clunky and awkward to use", especially in comparison to standard terminals. Do you think xterm is too super clunky because it lacks all the bells and whistles?

I still do not see where the lack of empathy and tastelessness is apparent in ISE.

No, but having both seen segments generally pointed at themes I agree with, and segments generally pointed at things I don't agree with, just, be aware that he is a comedian, and do not take his assessment of any of the positions, arguments, or antics of the other side as anything remotely resembling fair, or even necessarily particularly well investigated beyond "what do they say/argue/do that I can tell jokes about?"

To be fair, that can sometimes still be more investigation into the "other side" than what the other media outlets pursue, who appear to often operate on a "what's the bare minimum of the side that the reporter does not agree with, that I can show to make it appear that I've done my due diligence?" I find the occasional accusations here on HN about how frustrating it is that the media feels compelled to show both sides "equally" to be amusing... it would be a great improvement on our media if that actually happened more often. Far more often what you get is the positive propaganda of the favored side, and in the interests of "balance", the favored side's caricature of the other side's views. (Those that find this too balanced and would still like the news to take an even stronger stand may want to consider whether they would consider instead simply enjoying the output of the many straight-up propaganda-and-biased-reporting outlets that can be found on the Internet, for all sides, including sides you didn't even know existed.)

"There is no fee for buyers and merchants .. Users can pay with a credit card or with Apple Pay."

Yesterday's article: http://techcrunch.com/2015/06/01/pinterest-buy-button/

"big brands pass [Pinterest] pieces of data such as price that are shown on their Pins of products which they hope users will repin ... partners could soon push more data into the API, which could “enable pretty sophisticated experiences” like multi-product Buy buttons ..

.. With a single tap, you could buy all [recipe] ingredients at once, have them delivered, and start cooking what you discovered on Pinterest 45 minutes later ... you could find a lamp on Pinterest and instantly add it to your Amazon Wish List thanks to a “Wish List” button powered by data Amazon sends to the Pinterest API."

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Twitter has a long and sketchy track record with developers. Exhibit A is TwitPic:

http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/twitters-war-on-th...

But what about services that Twitter replicates? The latest applications victimized by Twitter’s in-house team are photo-sharing platforms like TwitPic and YFrog

Back in May, we first heard that Twitter planned to launch its own image posting tool. Up until that point, third party apps were giving Twitter that function. Now that Twitter’s own photo tool has launched, it’s virtually declaring war on the developers who were responsible for creating what has been a very popular aspect of the site.

But you're right, if you take time to develop an app using their API, it might just get their attention and then they'll develop their own version and then cut you completely out.
The good news is that you have standing to bring your case here, to the Hacker News informal court of appeals. It's very likely that a human from Facebook will notice this post and take pity on you. But how many organizations and individuals are not members of the tech community and have access to a forum where they might be heard?
I didn't mean it derogatorily, but I agree that sounds derogatory.

I like high rises and loved visiting Korea.

The thing that stuck out most was that you'd have massive high rise buildings in semi-rural areas hours outside of Seoul. Americans would fill that space up with McMansions.
About home automation of light switches: I put in ~10 X-10 devices, plus the ~20 controllers to activate them, circa 2002. I did it myself (I'm an EE), so the installation cost was 0.

It worked OK for a while, but the setup was not robust and eventually some controllers would not work some devices at some times. The annoyance factor in going from 0 errors to a 1% error rate is HUGE.

Five years passed, and I have been slowly replacing all these X-10 devices with hard-wired switches or with Insteon. Of course, the original 1959 wiring paths (12 gauge Cu FTW) still work fine.

Now, when I see connected/automated homes in design mags, all that tech seems more like a long-term maintenance headache than a desirable feature. If I had an unlimited budget, I would not build those features in, I would just install conduit and run old-school copper wires through it.

My lessons: (1) The design life for a home is decades, the refresh rate for home automation devices is years; (2) Upgrading/tinkering is fun the first time -- but only the first time; (3) Your spouse hates it more than you do; (4) The existing device does one thing without fail, replacing it with a device that does more things but sometimes fails is not a net gain.
Do you think there's enough interest to do a "low usage" (i.e. cheaper/free) option where you aren't hopping gateways and just want to use Spreedly as a processor abstraction layer? I'd love to investigate this for some little side projects that aren't tied to a processor, but $99/mo would be prohibitive.

It's free ONLY if you get it in their window (1 year I think) it just seems unnecessarily complicated when they should just make it free. Also they have 3-4 more SKUs than just Home and Pro (which really should only be 1).

> Windows 10 is supposed to be the last Windows release of this kind

I'll believe that when I see it also there is nothing I've seen so far to imply all further updates would be free.
Many USB 3.0 ports have blue inner connectors to indicate that they're 3.0 ports, and some USB ports will have yellow connectors instead to indicate a variety of things (from better charging rate to supplying power even when the host device is powered off). I think the logical extension of this would be resistor-style color code bands to indicate different sets of functionality (yellow for Thunderbolt, red for charging, etc.).

When updates are free, what are the realistic alternatives? Android devices, for example, just reach end of life much more quickly. Given the option to update at the expense of performance or no option at all, it at least seems the better of the two choices.
The power loss protection in Crucial drives is not what most people think it is. It's a guarantee that the drive won't become corrupted on power loss, not that data buffers will be committed. So it's still dangerous. The idea that the drive would lose existing data on power loss was very surprising to me in the first place, enough that I never suspected that's what Crucial meant by power loss protection.

Interesting. I worked on the support team for the software that creates and files the flightplans for UAL. It was a horrible piece of SW/architecture with many outages. We tested in production daily and had direct access to the databases. I'm pretty sure they never changed their policies.. So yeah, this sounds very much like it!

True. They do have a classification of Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Not the same thing as "perfectly safe", but I'm guessing that's what they probably meant.
Naked Apartments

Android Engineer | REMOTE | Full Time | Anywhere

Naked Apartments has set out to simplify renting, starting in NYC. We're a small team, growing fast, and already taking a big bite out of Craigslist's juicy NYC revenues, but we've set our sights on much bigger goals.

Our team is optimized for developer impact and freedom.

* A TRULY REMOTE job. We've taken Jason Fried's TED talk [1] to heart and built an entirely distributed team, which includes even our CEO. We have no physical office for employees to report to just in case you're worried about bait and switch ;)

* Flexible work schedules. Work the times that work best for you. Our team cares about what gets done, not about how many hours you stare at your screen.

* No wire frames, pixel perfect designs, or 35 page specs handed down from out of touch product managers. We trust our engineers to help define business needs and shape them.

* Engineers get to take an idea from conception all to way to production, coupled with a team support system to get feedback and iterate until you've built a something we're all proud of.

* Friendly, funny, energetic co-workers.

* Our company is profitable and growing.

We want team members we can trust, who not only care deeply about well written and tested code, but our business as well. Be ready to learn, grow, and help the team do great things together.
Send us an email, we'd love to hear from you: jobs@nakedapartments.com

that makes me think of my local power plant that just installed valves to remotely control gas pressure in the pipelines ... I hope no-one hacks them.
I'd say it takes maybe 8 hours max to start understanding the interface and art. With regard to learning the mechanics that can be hugely accelerated if you know how to save scum. Basically you move your save files out of the default save folder regularly and then if something happens that you don't like you can restore a previous snapshot of your fortress.

This is good for newbies because it allows you to try out different ways to avoid or recover from various things like tantrum spirals, invasions, etc before the fortress is completely ruined and the game ends. Rather than taking 120 different games to master the mechanics you can master the mechanics over 120 save and restore iterations on the same game, so you don't have to waste time rebuilding from scratch.

It's also fun to try to never let a single dwarf die (from anything other than old age) or get a significant injury, and never let a single strange mood go unsatisfied.
The thought that you could be wearing this at a party mingling, and not be ACTIVELY talking about it is pretty ridiculous. They'd have to be all but ubiquitous to not be the subject of every convo you have every second while you're wearing it.
> The question then becomes: why would anyone do them, and (somewhat linked) what are the chances that anyone will do them to you?

Let me rephrase the items from the GP comment:

1. A company that your boss hires will tell him when you lie about being sick.

2. Your insurance company pays to find out how often you do risky things when not driving

3. where-is-she.com charges 29.99 per month to report on someone's location at any time, using open drone surveillance data.

The point is, all of this can be turned into businesses and government services. In my opinion it's damned scary. I like Snowden's remarks on the topic:

> Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
I know it's fun to hack things together but wouldn't a smartphone with evernote be a better solution? You can use phone's speech to text feature and access your list anywhere online or offline.
> Letting them continue to alienate themselves amongst all the other Muslims on the planet by the way they treat their fellows (if you're Muslim, but don't believe in IS's specific notions of the caliphate, you're an apostate, and must be killed) will, in the long run, do more to destroy them than even nuking all of Syria ever could.

Waiting it out is not an option.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/isis-bur...

"Amid all the atrocities carried out by Isis — its massacres of civilians, its beheading of hostages, its pillaging of antiquities — the systematic violence the jihadists have carried out against countless enslaved women and girls never fails to shock. For months now, we've heard appalling testimony from women who escaped Isis's clutches, many of whom endured rape and other hideous acts of violence."

"Here's a chilling excerpt: "After attacking a village, [the Islamic State] splits women from men and executes boys and men aged 14 and over. The women and mothers are separated; girls are stripped naked, tested for virginity and examined for breast size and prettiness. The youngest, and those considered the prettiest virgins fetch higher prices and are sent to Raqqa, the IS stronghold."

"We heard about one girl who was traded 22 times, and another, who had escaped, told us that the sheikh who had captured her wrote his name on the back of her hand to show that she was his 'property'."

"Estimates vary, but there are believed to be somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 women enslaved by the Islamic State. Many are Yazidis, a persecuted minority sect that the extremist Islamic State considers to be apostate "devil-worshippers," in part because of the Yazidis' ancient connection to the region's pre-Islamic past. The jihadists' treatment of Yazidi women, in particular, has been marked out by its contempt and savagery."

Here's Bangura again: "They commit rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution and other acts of extreme brutality. We heard one case of a 20-year-old girl who was burned alive because she refused to perform an extreme sex act. We learned of many other sadistic sexual acts. We struggled to understand the mentality of people who commit such crimes."
Smart TVs tend to have more complex UIs than dumb ones, which are annoying if you don't intend to use the smart functionality, as well as confusing (in terms of duplicated functionality) to less technical users.

Enterprise is understandable - businesses may prefer not to use Pro. I don't believe that you can count Windows 10 Mobile/Mobile Enterprise against the count as they are merely part of Microsoft's effort to combine all their platforms under one operating system.
I don't think xterm is clunky, no. It doesn't try to help me, but it also doesn't get in my way. iTerm2's feature set does not increase the friction of dealing with the shell inside of it. Literally every time I have to open up ISE, I go, "jesus, why the hell is it doing things?". The experience is just straight-up repellent. It's hard to really describe past "I'd rather click a mouse than use this." And that never happens elsewhere.

But anyway, your "nice to haves" are my "it's 2015, I'm not wasting my time with less." Microsoft's got more money than God, they can do something worth the time of day.
Yes, the original other way to read the image in the OP is as "localities with an insufficient supply of housing".

Barracks-style housing is just so much further than higher-density housing though. About the only time true barracks accommodations are built is for factories or similar institutions in specific circumstances.

* 7.85 k$ in posttax earning

* 4.85 k$ in savings

* In order, maxing out Roth IRA, then Roth 401k, then non-tax-advantaged brokerage account

* 3 k$ in spending

* 1 k$ in rent + utilities (I live in a dump with 3 roommates)

* 300 $ on transportation

* 1300 $ on miscellany (entertainment, clothes, travel)

I could probably put effort into tracking that last item better, but I'm happy enough just tracking the top line.
I believe that higher currents are negotiated with digital signalling. Does that allow for the two ends talk to each other to determine the performance of a cable between them? The Apple lightning cables themselves include a chip.

Anyway, an interesting thing about USB C (and maybe 3.0, too) is that it can also negotiate 12 or 20 volts and even up to 5 amps. For the same wattage, a higher voltage will heat the cable less.
Apple wasn't even involved in the creation of the USB spec. Every major PC manufacturer was, and had committed to the spec already. Apple did "lead the way' by shipping a computer with no legacy ports, but the PC industry hardly "dragged their feet". It takes years to churn so many PCs with (legacy ports) which dominated the market.
We've adopted some aspects of this flow, and our take is that we test feature branches on stage thoroughly including CI test run and code review.

Then we merge to master and let all the CI run again while we manually verify. Any troubles and you revert. All green? Deploy right away. We try never to deploy more than 2-3 changes to production at a time.

The main bottleneck for us is the speed of our CI runs. It's tempting to merge in a lot of changes to master and let them accumulate on QA. Reducing the test run time is an ongoing goal and should make this system pretty scalable for our team.

Usually, you won't have merge conflicts if you deploy early and often and keep feature branches deliberately small. For larger stories, consider breaking it into discrete feature branches that implement part of the functionality (ex: behind a feature gate).
