I have a fully loaded 15" arriving on Monday. If I cannot connect it to my beloved Dell P2715Q at 4K@60hz, I'm sending it back. This is clownstickery at its finest.

It's a start. There will be ways around the mute filters by using alternative spellings, substituting in similar unicode characters, etc.

There needs to be a "quality" score for a Twitter user and an option to mute tweets from "low quality" users. Quality could be determined by utilizing an algorithm similar to Google Page Rank. Retweets, likes, and follows by "quality" users would be considered in a user's quality rank. Reports of hateful conduct would be weighted in as well.

It's too bad that it has taken this long for Twitter to even -start- to address the abuse. They are lucky they have no direct competitors.

>>>But I suspect that people don’t ask those questions because, after trying a time or two and getting no answers or wrong answers, they just give up on Siri. <<<

Absolutely this. I mean, you try a few of this these "long tail" queries and you eventually say "Fuck it!" I attempt these "long tail" queries (which to me, that term sounds like some shitty play-it-down excuse from Apple) weekly just to see if Apple is finally getting their act together in regards to Siri usefulness. I am consistently disappointed and never surprised and delighted.

I try to screenshot "Siri fails". Here are the last few in my screenshot album:

-------------------

"Open last screenshot" → "You don't seem to have an app named 'last screenshot' We could see if the App Store has it [App Store]"

"Share this with my wife" (Photo was open in Photos.app) → "I'm sorry Joe, I'm afraid I can't do that"

"When is the last time I exercised" → "Interesting Question, Joe"

"What year was this song recorded" (In Music app with song playing) → "Interesting question, Joe"

-------------------

We're living in a world where we can do more and more without using the screen as an interface. It's happening. I'm worried that Siri is a low priority product for Apple right now and they will soon be scrambling to play catch up if they aren't already.

EDIT: I'm hoping that Apple's recent buddying up with IBM allows for some of Watson's intellect to seep into Siri. Who knows, maybe in a future keynote we'll hear Tim say, "Ladies and gentlemen, Watson is coming to your Mac and iPhone!"

I really want to love Atom, mainly due to the plethora of cool plugins being created lately. However, its inability to handle large files and the slow launch times are unfortunate.

In the comments he replies with: "Wireless bridge to the house. I've got a pair of Mikrotik Lite2 units up for now."

and

"Rural wifi. 15/2 for $100/mo. It works"

Ah, I see now. Sorry about that. Yes, that problem is fixed. You can now zoom out and explore while directions are shown.

>I think they announced that the panning/zooming issue is resolved with the Apple Maps in iOS10.

I wish this were the case. I'm running the iOS 10 beta on a 6S+ and gave Maps several seconds to load this area of upstate NY.

The dark gray grid persists. Yea, it's the first beta, but I have mostly only noticed changes in the interface and not the actual map data.

>... whether Apple Maps or Google Maps is better depends on where you are and what data you're trying to find.

I've given Apple Maps several chances to delight me since 2012 and have submitted multiple bug reports and feature requests. While the product has improved significantly, it needs a few years of development to match the current offerings from Google. The inaccuracies in the search results for local businesses/parks/points of interest is unacceptable and should be a priority for the Maps team if Apple has any intention of feeding data into a device that will take humans from point A -⇒ B -⇒ C. Also, not being able to create waypoints/multi-leg routes is simply unacceptable in 2016. For most Apple Maps users, I suspect it takes only one shitty search result page for them to give up and use Google Maps.

There are some deep, systemic issues that Apple needs to address:

1) The accuracy and freshness of their data

2) The ability to return fast, intelligent search results from their data

3) Siri's ability to understand user intention when being asked for location data and directions

I'm rooting for Apple, I really am - It just seems that they are having a rough time catching the tailwinds of Google.

Search his username on github and it will tell you his dev studio name. You can then google his dev studio and find out his niche.

Very cool. Perhaps Adafruit, Sparkfun or the like will whip up with a kit that utilizes these types of led arcade buttons, but on a much smaller scale. Also, I wonder if they make "mini" led arcade buttons so you could tighten up the array a bit. It seems that smaller buttons would create better visualizations if space was limited.

Rene Ritchie of iMore "asked around" and found that this will not happen at the keynote or anytime in the near future.

They will not be overwriting any existing affiliate codes. If this helps them keep the lights on, I say go for it.

I noticed the docs.google.com link and cringed. Load the document, scroll down a couple times, and attempt to click back. Yikes.

Pinboard? Really? Are they confusing it with something else? Pinboard, in my eyes, is utilitarian and plain, but not ugly and unusable.

> And the cats are just trying to help fertilize your garden!

Yes, that wonderful, fertile cat shit full of Toxoplasma and other parasites. What a great addition to my garden! Not to mention that wonderful feeling and smell when your sink your hands into cat shit while prepping a garden bed.

Your other point, in regards to keeping populations under control, is way off the mark. http://www.nature.com/ncomms/journal/v4/n1/full/ncomms2380.h...

Keep your cats indoors, people! They're great pals to have, but inside.

>I'd freak out less if she would stop bringing them inside alive to play with.

Please keep your house cat indoors.

House cats should be just that, house cats. Their environmental impact is detrimental. Plus, all of the neighbor cats shit in my raised bed gardens and piss me off.

Perhaps it's now time to look at investing in some of the existing Canadian medicinal cannabis producers. Like cannabis or not, it's here to stay and becoming more legitimized with each passing day. The question is, who's going to supply it? It's going to be regulated and knowing Canada, it will be regulated thoroughly.

I can only imagine the $$$ that these top car engineers are getting. Something tells me that Chris Porritt was not one of the engineers banished to the 'Tesla Graveyard.'

Sadly, 98% of folks will blindly accept this.

You are correct. This seems like a very dangerous permission to grant to apps.

Ideally, the iOS share apis. I use the Pinner app and they have two ways to save to pinboard via the share apis- a "quick pin" method where you click once and forget it (what I usually do) and the regular way, where you can add tags, etc.

I think I now know why Reddit was so generous with all of the Gold. The app, although very fast and responsive on iOS, lacks many of the features that Alien Blue had. I could find zero integrations with any third party services. The cool thing about Alien Blue is, if I was a stoplight and didn't have time to read a linked article, I'd just add it to Pinboard and get back to it later.

Another major failing - there isn't an option to always open links in your browser of choice. At least use a Safari View Controller, for pete's sake.

EDIT: It looks like I can choose to share a link with the ... menu option. I can then share to my Pinner "Quick Save" option to save to Pinboard. Not sure how I missed it.

Yes, there's a chance that Google may can this after 2-3 years like they have countless other products. However, I can see where Google may obtain great value from this service for the foreseeable future for two reasons:

1) The tagging feature of the images you save. They are prominently displaying an "Add Tags" button when you save an image. I see tons of free nourishment being generated for their deep learning systems to digest.

2) It's just another way they will be able to gain more capital from you, Mr/Ms Google user. Do you like saving pictures of that hot band all the kids are talking about? Here's an advertisement for tickets to their upcoming concert. Are you tagging photos of homes because a move may be in your future? Here's an advertisement for mortgages. Etc.

Here are some great visualizations of the data: https://panamapapers.icij.org/graphs/

I predict that in 10 years, more people than not will be wearing a smart watch of some type that will continuously be tracking vitals. You'll probably even be offered a free one by your employer or health provider.

Average heartrate gradually going up over the last few weeks? Your doctor's office will ping you to drop by. Sleep patterns have been erratic lately? Send down an electronic questionnaire to see what's up. You see? If you unveil the symptoms sooner, you can treat them sooner. That makes sense. $$$.

This has been debunked.

I just sampled a few. These are some legit recordings. Very good quality.

Amazing work. This app has so many features that I think go unnoticed to many. I recommend going through all of the tips of the day (iTerm2 -> Show Tip of the Day) and perusing the various preferences available in the app.

I donated a while back and will be donating again tonight.
