Why is that good? Decidability is a nice property of a type system...
I don't understand what your argument is. Let's restate:

iOS requires that you connect your device to your PC in order to activate service, update the OS, and to manage media on the device. This is onerous and unnecessary.

Android doesn't require this. One of the ways, but not the only way, in which this is implemented is in the use of removable SD cards, which can be loaded with media independently of the device the media is consumed on. It is not required that you do any of this to operate the phone.

You never have to connect your Android device to a PC if you choose not to.

If you choose to load your media onto your device via Dropbox or via streaming from Amazon's cloud service (or, apparently, Google's upcoming service), you don't even have to muck with loading an SD card. You may feel free to listen to Pandora and upload your photos to Flickr without ever touching a PC.
It's very hard to innovate in IPOs, probably partially because these first day gains don't tend to bother issuers. Bankers would rather do things the traditional way (and make institutional buyers happy with big first day gains) and issuers tend to be relatively conservative about risking their only IPO on a less-proven method

Look at it this way: if you're the CEO, you're not going to get fired because of a 50% first-day gain. But if you botch things because you wanted to do a non-traditional IPO, you may be.

The government's definition of illegality (rather "suspiciousness") is getting more and more nebulous.
I also always heard that slides are supposed to be guideposts to a presentation, not the main point of one.

I've increasingly been viewing slides as a means to get people to just look up from their keyboard or phone and stop twittering or chatting for at least a minute or two.
To me it seems that it may not even be about education. While this is an interesting argument it more often seems that those from a privileged background will have more opportunities to succeed then their less fortunate peers. This is not at all related to their abilities at a given job or even their education but has far more to do with the peer group of their parents. It is this group that enables them to secure better jobs, rise through the ranks faster, or skip them all together.

Privilege breeds privilege, not by genetics but by nepotism.

One of the great things about humans is that they can consider the context of a remark, although apparently this is not universal.
Isn't that basically rolling your own framework? :) A "framework" doesn't have to be a huge 100k-LOC library--it can just be a set of conventions and design patterns with some code to enforce them--but you always need some kind of consistent structure in your application if you want it to be at all maintainable.
While the engineer in my agrees, the business person says it really doesn't matter what techniques are used if he/she is providing value. If all it takes is some averaging to save a company a good chunk of money, then that person may be earning their pay.
> Plasma 5.2 and Frameworks 5 Applications have transitioned to a flatter style, and it’s safe to say Breeze veers towards a more Apple-esque school of design over Google or Microsoft takes on flatness.

That's the main thing I don't like about it. Also I don't get the depressive trend of washing out colors and turning the style into monochrome. What's wrong with colored icons?

I hope there will be a way to chose other styles and KDE will maintain the reputation of being very UI configurable.
This enhancement means that the next generation of GPS technology may be able to work with augmented reality technology indoors.

Rubbish. GPS needs an open sky above. The signal is really weak.
Yes, I know the style and also find it annoying. However I would say it's quite likely that the press release issued by the team at Kiip.me used this as an eye catching headline, too.

If a 40 year old father of 4 launched Kiip.me and put that angle on a press release then I think it's highly likely it would end up in the headline of the story that covered it :)
That's AGPS. Very straight-forward and useful technology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS

Perhaps you should ask Socrates.
According to a pixel artist friend of mine, all the companies he's worked for using those types of anims will build a proprietary tool that essentially works like Flash in a pure-bitmap context; tweening, scaling, rotation, and bitmap cutouts(e.g. parts that bulge and bounce, like the belly of a fat character, simply reuse an area of the sprite and layer it on top). These tools are used for menu layouts and level design as well as sprites.

This might be one of the dumbest things Google has done regarding their 'image/brand'. First, the image they picked sucks and worse it is extremely pixelated (at least on my monitors, Bing and everything else looks fine). If you are going to copy Bing you should do it better, and this is clearly not.
Clients who get free work also treat it like it is worth nothing, too. My ex-ex-day job decided to do some pro-bono work for academics in my prefecture, and told them "Sure, Patrick will do technical translation for you. For gratis."

This resulted in me getting a stack of journal articles about several subjects. Most memorably, steel smelting and formation of microbubbles. I don't really know much about microbubbles, so the professional thing to do was say "When they said 'technical translation', they really meant 'regarding software' because that's really what we do here". The client said "Who cares? Its free. Just do your best." So I did my best and asked copious questions about steel smelting. "I don't really have time to deal with you this week. But hey, its free, just do your best. We'll be happy." So they got a journal article they wanted to submit for publication with grammatically correct English which almost certainly contained numerous material errors of fact.

It was a tremendous waste of the time and professional reputation of everyone involved.
You should reset it to 0 for such shoddy writing. For example, here is the text on the camera section:

The EVO has higher resolution cameras front and back (8 megapixel / 1.3
megapixel, vs. 5 megapixel / VGA). Apple claims its low resolution sensor
around back is to improve the low light performance, and both manufacturers
are using the same "backside illuminated" tech. We'll have to let these duke
it out in the wild (we've only seen professionally-produced samples from
Apple's camera), but the EVO wins the spec war.

Looks like speculative nonsense to me. Anyone who knows anything about digital cameras knows that published megapixel spec wars are almost never valuable (for example, my D700 is out-megapixeled by even some high-end point-and-shoots! But I can tell you which camera can capture the scene more faithfully in any condition, every time). Until the iPhone 4 is in hand and people can evaluate its camera, there is no way to know if the iPhone has a better, worse, or equivalent camera. All we have right now from Apple are slick marketing materials produced by professional photographers, many of which probably had assistants using reflectors or lights to help smooth out the dynamic range.

This was an article that shouldn't ever have been published, and clearly was basically a hype piece that slipped through editing during the press blitzkrieg of WWDC.
The nice thing about buying a MacBook is that it's much easier to comparison shop on price. I almost bought my netbook from a major chain until I realized they sold it with a 3-cell battery instead of the awesome 6-cell battery in the one I found online. On the other hand, I just helped a friend buy a MacBook, and we knew we were comparing apples to apples while looking for the best deal. Also, hats off to Apple for not loading their machines with crapware when you buy from a retail store.
I have no idea why it didn't even occur to me that the sharing went both ways - totally makes sense now. :)
I'll keep an eye out for those rules - wasn't aware. About to visit the US for 8 weeks with a toddler and a baby, so we have our work cut out for us getting around.

I've done it many times when travelling in Europe (though with one baby). Unless the stroller is overloaded, you can kinda fold it up awkwardly in the event that the carriage is quite full.

I've taken full luggage, a stroller and a baby on the Paris metro in peak hour. Never again!
Amazon sure is innovating with the internet of things. I just don't think they've hit on anything with their innovation.
> But even if they did, they don't have an obligation to be "responsible" in how they market their features.

Intel is a corporation; its shareholders are shielded from personal financial liability for its errors; thus is seems appropriate that it be required to be responsible in exchange for the privileges it has been granted.

Stock options used to be the go to method for giving bonuses to employees because they're cheap and potentially very valuable. However, they don't work very well if the stock is stagnant, so in that case the fall back is usually to just give stock grants which are really no different than getting cash.

With options employees have an incentive to retain equity in the company, which has a lot of good side benefits, not least of which is that it gives employees more of a stake in the company's future. It's also a way to reward employees financially by making them rich if they stick around long enough to collect enough options, have them vest, and have them increase in value significantly over time. A lot of techies have become millionaires through stock options.

Since MSFT's stock has been stagnant since the late '90s stock options as a reward aren't an option, which removes all of those benefits mentioned above and creates a further encouragement for ambitious employees to seek other companies where they have a reason to hold stock in their employer and where they are significantly financially rewarded for sticking around and doing good work.

I'm wondering if the reorganization was Ballmer's idea or if the board was behind that. My impression when the reorganization came out was that Ballmer was feeling pressure and the reorganization was an attempt to save his job.
> ... things start making me do a double take when you get down to the forces from the casimir effect ...

Yes, but static forces don't require energy. Only when force and motion are combined is an energy expenditure required. Remember that Casimir effect measurements are carried out by applying an external force to move two plates together, which means the initial energy of motion comes from elsewhere, not from the virtual realm.
I adopted it once for aircraft maintenance. Still pen and paper, but the session was hilarious! Especially as I played it with people directly and indirectly involved with aircraft maintenance for the army.

Some team in my old job use to have a term for this - "grabbing the virtual chicken". It was essentially a giant distributed lock :)

Here's a quick reminder about why sexism is bad. Sexism is bad because it disadvantages people through no fault of their own. Sexism is part of reality.

As someone who grew up in extreme poverty (eating ketchup soup made with ketchup packets and hot water, extreme), there are so many ways that poverty affected me, outside of this simple article.

The best way I can describe it is that poverty makes you start out life in a giant hole and you're given nothing to help you dig out of that hole to reach the surface where you can then start thriving. I honestly feel that at 54 years old, I'm finally thriving and not merely surviving in this whole of poverty. Yes, it's taken me this long to get here.

I never went to the dentist on a regular basis. It wasn’t until I had an abscessed tooth and was in extreme pain, that my welfare mother took me to a backwoods, rudimentary small town dentist. I remember sitting in the dental chair with the high-pitched whine of the dentist drill and smoke that smelled like burning hair, pouring out of my mouth. It traumatized me. To this day, I still have issues with my mouth and am finally at a point where I can begin getting it taken care of.

I got a job working at the elementary school in 9th grade one summer. I spent the summer scraping gum off of the bottoms of chairs and desks using a container of something that froze the gum so I could scrape it. I also spent long hot summer days crouched over on the black tarmac, painting the foul lines with yellow paint. I was hunched for so long that I developed back problems and of course, couldn’t afford to get it taken care of. I’ve had back problems ever since and it wasn’t until I was in my 40s that I could finally afford to see a Chiropractor and find some relief. And to top it all off, the State of California cut my moms welfare off because I managed to earn $2000 that summer. Guess how much I ended up getting to spend on new school clothes? Only about $200 from what I can remember.

It wasn’t until the past few years that I stopped looking at the price of things I was putting in my cart and making a mental calculation of the total cost of the shopping cart EVERY TIME I went shopping. I no longer do this and get whatever I want from the store.

I developed a weird sense of wanting to have choices. My wife couldn’t understand why I would open three different tubes of toothpaste until she finally realized what it was I was doing. I never had so many choices and I loved it.

I could go on and on but I won't. I think it's pretty easy from here to extrapolate just what poverty did to my productivity overall.
I believe the point of these tools is to be UNIXy, doing one thing well, and delegating the rest to other tools you already use. The script just downloads source code and drops you into an editor. Presumably, if you're a developer, you already have your editor set up for handling source code directories.
Having kids was a huge perspective shift towards doing my part & seeing the inherent value in other people. No silver bullet, of course, as plenty of people have kids yet act only for their own self interest.

But it is interesting to wonder if decreased birth rates could be both a symptom and cause of decreasing collectivism.
I think you can bring your own public IP assignments to AWS. Wouldn't that do the trick? I mean, there's always tracerouting, I suppose.
But you're giving equal weight to a year lived in the prime of someone's life vs. a year lived in a care home, which might not be a reasonable way to calculate it.

Good points. But it should be mentioned that, once you have your logic working in an FPGA, the additional step to make it ready for silicon is comparatively small. So I don't think it's too bad to confound the two.
Wouldn't this be an example of the type of billionare you'd want? He owns the company but pays his employees most of the earnings?
[Author of blog post here] Totally fair observation - the article I put together naively skips through some of the most complicated aspects of life. Someone that has kids, a different commute, a job that requires different effort, health-related concerns, etc. may not have an easy time at all with the approach of "simplifying" things around them. The post itself is not meant to be some sort of a universal, "you should do this and your life will be peachy" advice, but rather a reflection on what worked best for me personally, that will hopefully get people thinking about what works for them in their own stages of life.
While Krein used to support Trump, he decisively abandoned him after Charlottesville and calling him alt-right now doesn't seem founded in fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Krein

To be frank, I think your sort of self-satisfied academic left rhetoric is a large part of the problem, and so you are so in love with it that you've fundamentally misunderstood the writer's argument, which is a great deal closer to your position than you seem to realize.
Honestly, this is what gets me. Say what you will about the man, but few people complain that Elon Musk is a billionaire because clearly he's repeatedly investing his wealth in actually trying to advance humanity in meaningful ways. Similar story with Bill Gates and his foundation. But wtf is the average billionaire (of which there are thousands) or hundred-millionaire (of which there are tens of thousands) doing with their money aside from trying to acquire more money? You would think such people would be into building a positive legacy, but it's just not happening that way.
Or there's no point and it's just a consequence of turning numbered lists into <ol>.

If you pay to use Illustrator, that doesn't automatically ensure that anything you create using Illustrator doesn't infringe on another's trademark. Stock photos are different because they are generally rights cleared (depending on the license you purchase.) This isn't a stock logo repository, this is a construction kit.
In this case the "product" is an automated system for paying royalties on the customer's creative output which Google is making money off the back of, and they haven't so much "dropped" it as changed the terms to compel the customer to agree to a distribution deal with YouTube.

If any other online hosting service (with substantial network or lock-in effects) changed their terms to give themselves rights to host and slap ads on any of your other public output there would be an outcry. Why is this one different?

For a counter example of why American-based anime studios aren't popping up, an ostensibly American production, The Simpsons, has had Korean studios in the credits for the major parts of animation from the very first episode, same with Avatar: The Last Airbender. If you watch The Simpsons on DVD, in one of the season one specials Groenig talks about getting the animatics from Korea and having to go back and forth with the Korean studio until they captured the look that was desired. The producers will outsource to get the cheapest production. IIRC American animation in all media was dwindling at this point because studios didn't want to pay Americans to do the animation.
The current Japanese studio doing Attack on Titan is outsourcing components to Vietnamese and Chinese studios probably for the same sort of reason.
> do you have a backup key ?

You should always have keys per device (as has been discussed in other comments here). So if you have >1 device, you'll automatically have backups.

> If so, how do you protect that ?

While it may seem bad to have some keys less securely protected than others, the ability to revoke a single device means that using Yubikey / Secure Enclave / whatever on one device is still better than using them on none.

For European companies it is required to have a US-based bank account for USD with Stripe. A USD account is not sufficient. The alternative is to be hit by a 2% conversion fee when charging in USD.
then it's not "on the brink". It's true that stuff like the fourier transform led the information revolution, and that it was discovered in 1700, but it was not "on the brink" in the 1700s.

It's not "on the brink" until I can explain how it functions to a lay person, in one sentence to explain what it does and in one sentence why they should care. E.G: Fourier transform:

"It's something which takes a complicated wave and finds out what simple waves add up to the complicated wave. This is useful, for example, because sounds are complicated waves, if you know what simple waves there are, you can do things like autotuning."
To all the 'non-technical' people in the world: You must bring at least one, preferably several, of the following to the table, or you are just some random asshole with 'a great idea for a company' begging people to build a company for you and let you come along for the ride:

- Money
- Connections
- Industry-specific knowledge
- Top notch sales skills

Anyone who has had any success at all in business will have at least 3 of those. Why would anyone want to partner with someone who has no track record of success? Would a successful business person hire a 'technical' co founder who just started learning programming yesterday?

Plus, if you have any experience in technology you (the non-technical 'business' person) would find it rather easy to exercise your network and find more competent, excited people than you would be able to use. If you wanted to go into technology from another industry, you would know that you had almost no chance of success without connecting with someone who understands technology and can guide the company past all the common pitfalls and land-mines, and thus would have that person's network available.

TL-DR: If you have to ask, you won't find the answer.
