In my opinion Qualcomm got it right when they told about better cores instead more cores, despite they are now shipping 8-core SoCs, too. The rationale of that decision comes from how difficult is doing "4 good cores" tuned for both energy-saving and high performance (e.g. Krait 400/450 in Snapdragon 800 series is an impressive design, very optimized stuff for being able to use very high clocks and fine-grained frequency scaling for battery saving). The point of 4 complex cores and 4 simpler cores (or 8 simple cores) is just because simpler core area is tiny in comparison of the total silicon: you get them almost "for free", and in many cases could outperform the complex counterpart (unless we get someday cores with dynamic pipelines being able to work both in-order and out-of-order, who knows).

I hope Qualcomm gets back to 4-core designs with a custom ARM v8 optimized implementation (2.5-3GHz with independent CPU core frequency and voltage dynamic control).

~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~

Netflix is the leading video streaming service globally and the Netflix Android app is one of the most widely used and highly rated mobile applications. We work hard to constantly improve the performance, features, and quality of the app as we expand our coverage to 150+ countries in 2016.

Our Android innovation team is currently leading development of new products and features for all mobile clients at Netflix. Examples of current and upcoming projects include:

* redesign of the app for phones to provide easier and more personalized browsing of content

* improved, more informative second-screen experience for Chromecast

* dedicated experience for kids on tablets

Each client team also controls the code for its endpoint, which allows for the ideal amount of customization and control in transferring data across the wire. We make an effort to be flexible and up-to-date with our tools and processes, and are always working to reduce developer friction.

We'd love for you to join our team of senior engineers and take on this unique opportunity to delight millions of users each day!

There are many things rotten in the market, and that includes rent control.
I personally prefer auto tools because learning it has value. Learning auto tools has value because a lot of C projects use auto tools, so contributing to C projects is easier if you know the de facto standard build system for GNU/Linux based C projects.

Feynman described turbulence as "the most important unsolved problem of classical physics."

Another quote, attributed both to Heisenberg and to Horace Lamb:
"When I meet God, I am going to ask him two questions: Why relativity? And why turbulence? I really believe he will have an answer for the first."

And the very related problem of the existence and smoothness of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations is one of the famous millennium problems.

Gradescope - https://gradescope.com Berkeley, CA | ONSITE

Gradescope lets instructors give out the same paper-based assignments they've always used, but then grade them online, while keeping track of the exact mistakes made by every student on every question. This enables unprecedented data analytics: for example, we can reveal which concepts a student needs help with, or which questions are too difficult. To top it off, instructors finish grading in half the time.

Our product has been used to grade over 3.5 million pages of work belonging to over 30,000 students. We’ve raised a seed round, and are making our first full-time engineering hire to join the founding team of two PhDs and professor from Berkeley CS. Over the next few months, we’re looking to expand our user base and roll out advanced features including autograding, analytics, and more. We offer market-rate salary with generous equity.

We’re currently looking for a full-stack engineer. We've got a Rails backend with some React on the frontend.

Seems that people use their "phones" the most when they might not have a solid internet connection or data connectivity at all, e.g. underground, trains, airplanes, on the toilet etc...

Why the hell would i want a phone which will apparently seamlessly move my data and application from and to the cloud and use it as an expanded near-line storage?

And that's without going into data caps, speed caps and latency issues as well as what the hell happens if you drop packets due to roaming or lose power or connectivity while it does it's nifty dance because either the speed will even be slower due to the additional overhead of verifying every bit and bit or you are getting into serious risk of losing data...

Oh and privacy?

P.S.
Google Drive costs 1.99$ per month for 100GB so OnePlus/Moto X for 300(ish)$ + 4 years of 100GB Google drive come to about the costs of that phone....
If you get the new Moto G then you can get like a decade of cloud storage from Google so what's exactly is new here?
You're suggesting legally chasing a few weeks salary after nearly 20 years? That's quite a grudge you're encouraging, and likely to cost much more than it would gain, even if it could be proven.

So more dollars are cuts if population or GDP grows faster?

Does the same principle apply to other quantities too? Let's try a fun one: atmospheric CO2 concentration. From 1980 to 2012, it grew roughly 17% [1]. During the same period, world population grew 57% [2], and gross world product grew 144% [3]. So atmospheric CO2 has been drastically cut? :P

I don't think that fatalities per miles driven is that useful of a statistic, except for the other conversation of how to enable people to drive fewer miles (which I certainly approve of). It's still just abysmal that 30,000 people each year die doing something extremely routine that is virtually required to live in most areas. That's something like a quarter of US deaths from accidents/injuries. And, of course, there are presumably far more injuries than there are deaths, plus property damage.
Is running out of space actually a problem anymore? At least, if you have an SD card slot (which might be less often on Android than it used to be), you can have 64GB for $25, and several multiples of that higher for a bit more than proportional. But if I had to guess, this phone will emphatically not have an SD card slot, because it's a "cloud phone"! If you really want to focus on storage, it seems like multiple hot-swappable SD slots might be more interesting.

I recognize their vision is broader than that, but using cloud storage seemed like a big focus of the first product and of this article.

Also, it seems a bit premature to make new hardware. The article says they've got the software prototype running on Nexus 5, and they've already got some level of cloud sync publicly released on CyanogenMod (maybe CM11 only). I can understand not wanting to support every rooted Android device in the world, but it seems like they could get pretty far picking 3-5 existing devices they understand and feel are solid enough. If their vision is "“You should be able to really quickly authenticate to any piece of smart glass ... and really have your stuff available to you as you need it.”" they're going to have to run on arbitrary devices at some point... unless they are defining "any piece of smart glass" as "only our hardware."

The line of reasoning that money or social status play no role appeal to those who have it and who want to think of themselves as entirely "self-made." It wasn't the millions of dollars I got handed or the premium education, no, it was pure grit and hard work.

You see this all the time with rich people. They're the kids of even richer people but yet still are "self-made" who "started out with nothing" and did it through "hard work."

Hi funlover, I'm really sorry you had such a bizarre and disappointing experience. I work for UT as well, and we absolutely offer Peek as a service, and are actively working on it. I'm currently looking into why you would have gotten that answer.

Our current average turnaround time for website tests is actually 2 hours (from when someone orders a Peek test to when it is delivered to their inbox). Unfortunately, your test may have fallen through the cracks, and our support typically takes care of those. Thanks for your feedback, and feel free to PM if you have any questions.

> Ripple sets the threshold high (80 percent) to provide adequate protection from double spending. But by doing so, it gives a submajority the ability to block transactions that they perceive to be repugnant.

So in the context of an exchange, a small minority could, say, stop short selling or halt the market in a high volatility environment. All this ads liquidity risk which in turn reduces the value of the infrastructure.

I'm not sure how it works at Google, but adding a random query string usually helps because of how proxy servers handle caching. Proxy servers usually treat an URL with different query string as different resource and cache them separately (e.g. /posts?page=2 is definitely not the same as /posts?page=1).

This is not only applies to caching by ISP, but also includes caching by the website itself as well (some websites put proxy in front of their server to cache rarely changed portion of the site, or even using CDN.).
Internet Explorer.
Against whom is Google being anti-competitive with this move. How should we prevent this move from being illegal, without specifying what metrics Google is and is not allowed to use?
Physical limits can be worked around with tricks though. For example google had a feature where they prefetched and started loading a result as soon as you start moving your mouse towards it to click. Latency is still there but hidden from the user.

Pretty excited to see what innovative tricks with predictive prefetching they came up with to base a whole company on it. I can also see this being useful for simply just files instead of apps. For example Dropbox on mobile also has a "thin client" approach but doesn't do anything smart to cache frequently accessed files unless you explicitly favorite them.
Another thing I'm now reminded of is, on Android, the... functionalization/clickification of text.

Some text is active, other is not. I don't see any visual cues that distinguish the two. I end up just poking at text, or thinking, "If I were designing this, I'd want more detail or a link to further controls." In the latter case, sometimes I find I was thinking the way the designer/programmer was, and that text does indeed lead somewhere.

For someone who doesn't "think that way", this is more of a challenge.

This also seems to have become more prevalent in desktop / full screen design. Stuff that doesn't look "clicky" is.

I think that was one of my mother's problems with changes to the Google Calendar web page UI.
Virtualisation gives you much better use of your physical resources, gives you a heap of flexibility, provides much better remote control of machines, and has been around since before the year in your handle.

Agreed, but thermostats really shouldn't be something we have to replace every 1-2 years anyways.

Neither are phones and laptops, really. The difference is that those advance at a rate that makes an upgrade compelling. I have a Mid-2009 Macbook Pro. It's fine. I put an SSD in it recently and it's even better than fine. The only time I get the impulse to replace it is when I'm near a newer Macbook. In a vacuum, it's all I'd ever need. Sadly (for my wallet), it doesn't exist in a vacuum.
I believe what was meant by "not intended for repeat use" is that Peek is a very limited product, meant to introduce people to usability testing.

We do allow and even encourage people to test their sites out on Peek up to 3 times each month, but we hope that as their needs grow and they recognize their needs for targeted demographics, custom tests, and many of the other great features we offer they'll consider using our full product.

Sorry for the confusion, we are certainly not trying to deceive anyone.
Ants are also annoying. Come to Oakland and experience the 'pesticides' for yourself!
Great design, but it's funny how you can infer what a company actually is by contrast to what it's trying too hard to be. Google has a very childish logo (the doodle even emphasis that) to have the company look like a fun and happy company, whereas people fear it's going to become the next big brother.

When you see it that way, it's almost an admission of guilt. No company would put so much emphasis on child imageries if it weren't fearing so much. Google is accused of controlling your life, so it's using the symbol of the exact opposite of "in control", aka small children.
