My Nexus 5 mysteriously stopped booting one day a few months ago, so I got a Nokia 530 to tide me over... it's a 40 dollar phone.

I'm still using it 4 months later... I may end up getting the next Nexus phone, but If the more expensive Lumias offer a commensurate increase in quality, I'd say they're probably great phones.

Thanks for the extra info. I am working on something that is not a million miles away from your product (http://klavado.com)

Yes, mine is focused on places but the core idea of easily polling people without creating an account is similar. If I bought your site, it would be mainly as a way of gaining traffic for klavado. I haven't yet started working hard on getting traffic so I don't yet have a good idea how hard / easy that will be.

Perhaps after I get a better idea of how things go with klavado, I'll be in a better position to discuss something.

Well, you can't make technology without funding and time. But given enough of both, its definitely achievable. There is nothing scientific preventing us from creating fusion reactor.

Perhaps I misspoke, but the thing is, the main issue is funding, you can't expect research without funding. If the project was well funded, we'd probably have it by now.

Cheap as in resources required to produce energy. Not cheap to make. By same measure how much infrastructure you need to mine, transport and make a power plant.

After my nexus 5 PoS I'm definitely ready to give them a miss.

N5 screen cracked all by itself, while flat on a table. I was amazed.

Oh, and the N9 is worse still, after a year or so, the screen is no longer flat, it looks like a dish, from the side. For a device that costs as much as an iPad, that's pretty crap.

Only 'nice' nexus was the N4. Wish I had kept it!
Nice, thanks for the supp :)
Agreed.

As great as Angular 2 seems to be, by breaking compatibility to the point they did, they've essentially created another framework.

For someone looking to upgrade from Angular 1.x, this shifts their thought process from "should I upgrade to Angular 2?" to "which new framework should I upgrade to?".

And for many people, that new framework isn't going to be Angular 2.

On the other hand, some kid who is researching a report for school may actually need factual and accurate information. It seems possible they'll use the web to fill in the gap, but a lot of parents are very reserved about letting elementary school kids use the web, and many teachers require library research as part of the reports.

For that matter, suppose some kid compares what he learns on the web to what he learns in a library? He'll find the library is inaccurate and out of date and not to be trusted. A relic of days gone by. Soon he'll be part of a generation that sees no point in having libraries and our entire library system will be in jeopardy.

Going through appeals.
No, most heard Google won the first trial and assumed it was. Oracle appealed and won the 2nd trial. They tried to reach a settlement but are way apart on how much it should be. Google tried to appeal to the Supreme Court but that was denied. So now they are having another go at it in a lower court.

On October 6, 2014, Google filed a petition asking the
U.S. Supreme Court to review the Federal Circuit's
decision. On November 7, 2014, EFF filed an amicus brief
on behalf of many computer scientists that asked the
Supreme Court to grant Google's petition for review,
reverse the Federal Circuit, and reinstate Judge Alsup's
opinion.

Unfortunately, in June 2015 the Supreme Court denied
Google's petition. The case will now return to the
district court for a trial on Google's fair use defense.

Didnt win in court because the judge actually had some clue what was happening?

Dont worry, just keep those appeals flying, you'll get a clueless idiot evetually and your lobby money will win them over.
Thanks. I thought it was ended as soon as the Supreme Court decided not to pick it up.
Funny how the article starts with that the predicted future "can never be absolutely certain". As long as the weather forecast stays as reliable as it is today I wouldn't trust most predictions for next week. The far future is very likely drastically different from how we imagine.
Very true. There is a legal standard for "gross" pay which is not gross pay at all. In Northern countries gross pay is ~20-35% lower than the employer pays, and after that the employee also pays 40-55% on the "gross" amount after that.

(Example "non-gross" income tax: patronal national insurance tax, corporation closure insurance tax, tax on vacation pay, tax for employment of permanently disabled persons, ... It totals ~18% in Germany, up to 38.5% in Belgium, depending on the sector (specific sectors have specific taxes - yes really))

These sorts of measures make sure that taxation is a lot less visible for "normal" people (ie. voters) in Europe than it is in America. Employers have to advertise "net pay", which is the amount you generally negotiate for. Also, for instance, the prices displayed in stores have to be tax-inclusive (there's a VAT of 18-25% as well), the prices displayed at the pump include all taxes (not just VAT), tobacco and alcohol have to be advertised with prices including all taxes.

That means a European kid might very well not hear the word "tax" until they're 24-25 and get a real, first job, and will likely think they're only paying an income tax of 40-55%, when in fact they are paying a tax of 1/1.200.60.82 = 61% (and up to 76%) (money that they can spend divided by money that is paid for their labour, inverted). And that still doesn't include property tax, car tax, and the like.

> Many software engineers do. Considering how much value they create with their work, they are massively underpaid

I hear this a lot, but what is your reference point that allow you to conclude that the engineers are underpaid. Do you use a percentage of profit generated from your contribution? (would you also pay the company for products that made a loss?)

Really, how is this measured?

Interesting decision to not have it connected to the full Internet. That makes it essentially a local, social, network like the old BBS scene. You use the mesh to talk to people, not so much for streaming media. That will save a lot of bandwidth. It also keeps it enthusiast-only and reduces the need to work out how to handle abuse.
The most valuable idea you can work on, and the one most likely to succeed, is one you are scared of. An idea you won't admit to yourself.

So one approach to finding that idea is to try hard to not come up with an idea. Make that a goal and you may notice that ideas start flowing in that way. Individually, write down these urges, and focus on summoning the courage to face them.

Regularity is _very_ a good thing when it's diet, sleep, and bowel movements.

5 classes is more than full-time, yes? And adding in that part-time job and life, you aren't leaving much down time.

If you keep trying to use every hour of the day without first allotting your sleep/downtime, your situation will only get worse.

Robert Heinlein has a quote, "Always budget the luxuries first." Paraphrasing makes this apply to you: "Always budget the downtime first." What you have left after that 9-10 hours (yeah, take the time. You need to shower and eat in peace, too) is what you can use for everything else.

Don't think that because you're pursuing a four year degree that you must complete it in four calendar years. Consider what's better for your future, a degree finished according to the calendar with okay marks, or an extra year to finish with pretty good marks?

You're young and you really do have the time.
Almost anyone who cares about this lawsuit is automatically someone whose opinions don't matter to Oracle. Oracle only cares about executives at large orgs with large budgets to spend on Oracle's enterprise software. And those people don't care about Java or Oracle's reputation among people outside their community.

To understand Oracle's motivations it is necessary to review what Bryan Cantrill said about the company:

"As you know people, as you learn about things, you realize that these generalizations we have are, virtually to a generalization, false. Well, except for this one, as it turns out. What you think of Oracle, is even truer than you think it is. There has been no entity in human history with less complexity or nuance to it than Oracle. And I gotta say, as someone who has seen that complexity for my entire life, it’s very hard to get used to that idea. It’s like, ‘surely this is more complicated!’ but it’s like: Wow, this is really simple! This company is very straightforward, in its defense. This company is about one man, his alter-ego, and what he wants to inflict upon humanity — that’s it! …Ship mediocrity, inflict misery, lie our asses off, screw our customers, and make a whole shitload of money. Yeah… you talk to Oracle, it’s like, ‘no, we don’t fucking make dreams happen — we make money!’ …You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ — lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle." [1]

Nothing that Oracle does makes sense without understanding this.

Thoughts about the cutting-edge of server programming
I am currently working on a project to develop a secure mobile app using micro-services written in Go, Node.js, and Lua targeted at both Android and iOS. I am writing the back-end which will be cloud-based. I thought it would be a good idea for me to share some of my experiences.

Micro-services are the coming absolute standard in server architecture. Dividing a program up into smaller pieces has always be one of the principles of computer science, but to take it one step further and to have different parts of the program in different machines use to be only in the realm of super-computing. Cheap cloud-computing allows everyone to easily create their own clusters, and micro-services are the best architecture.

Of course our queries are RESTful, but we chose to use a simplified form. The requests are URL-queries, and it seems that the lowest common denominator for how long they can be is 2k characters (to be accessible to all browsers). The responses, though, are always in JSON.

Go is an incredible language whose standard library has enough components to satisfy 90% of one's needs. One can think of it as an improved C, so it lacks inheritance, function overloading, and generics. I hope someone creates a fork called Go++. I did some tests, the Go HTTP component was 80% as fast as Nginx, but they were only simple page loads, since Nginx's scripting language is not that complete.

Node.js is the most powerful way to do server-side scripting. Tens of thousands of packages means that one hardly has to write any code. And the speed is pretty decent, but do not even try to do anything CPU intensive. Node.js is JavaScript which is compiled with the V8 Engine and single-threaded.

I also realized the differences between concurrency and parallelism. When there is only 1 CPU, it is not possible to have parallelism. Parallelism includes concurrency, but concurrency is not parallel.
Sounds interesting!

Right, so an orbit implies an amount of kinetic energy which you need to lose to lower your orbit; and losing kinetic energy in a frictionless environment requires some kind of propulsion.
For me this just puts into perspective how much it sucks to have Java as the language powering Android. Would a rewrite in (say) Go even be possible? I guess you could machine translate a lot of boring stuff like support for a gazillion devices, and the memory footprint savings would be quite substantial.

> Node.js is the most powerful way to do server-side scripting

not really.

By the way, have a look at http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2015/06/elixir-in-times-of-... . Elixir/Erlang excels at concurrency and allows you to build large-scale distributed backends easily, with many additional benefits (fault tolerance, ...).By the way, "Microservices" and "Actors" for parallelism and concurrency aren't really discussed in the erlang/elixir world, since this is the natural way to code. The "cutting edge" to do massive backends is actually decades old, battle-proven and guaranteed to work, this is what erlang actually was designed for.

Many many Big systems today are using the Erlang VM for their critical backends, like Call of Duty or Whatsapp.

> It refers for example to an attack by Ghash, and then dismisses their explanation that it was an employee without providing much evidence and without pointing that his dismissal of their explanation was simply speculation.

I did not dismiss it, how did you read that?

> Moreover, it suggests that Ghash gained 50% of hashing power and nothing happened. In fact a lot happened, so much so that Ghash currently has around 2% of the hashing power.

That doesn't seem to be related: they were close to 50% 4 months after the theft incident, and again 10 months after. Someone else queried that, and I did some digging to ensure that my memory of event order was correct. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3fxvbr/blocksize_a...

000197AF COBOL/mainframe date problem
The problem with such "MBAs" is that always the answer is to eat the seed corn, making the problem worse.

If Lenovo is to grow out of this, it will have to do it with the manufacturing and design/IT departments. Yet a voice within me seems to be very certain that these departments are going to find themselves cut down far more than the sales and general management departments. At one company, when this happened, they actually increased sales commissions while cutting engineering jobs. At that point, you know it's time to get out. Out of the company's stock, primarily.

IBM is the prime example of this attitude.
