My 2012 Thinkpad T530 with a core i5-3230m gets about 5000 on the geekbench 3 multicore test. That a 2015 phone gets 4300 astonishes me. I never feel like my thinkpad is slow, so I can't imagine how fast that phone feels.

My highest praise to apple's cpu engineers.

My small fear is projects like the mill will not materialize, and we'll have a long-term cpu speed cap of about 4000 on the geekbench 3 single core no matter what we do, at least for the next 50 years.

My argument was that individualism, unchecked by introspection and consideration, drives people towards simplistic behaviors focused on the self. As a result, cultures that reward introspection and consideration are at a disadvantage to cultures focused on consumption.

I recently looked into other realtime monitoring/notification solutions, here's some other options I found:

- New Relic (http://newrelic.com): a well established player.

- Keymetrics I/O (https://keymetrics.io/): makes use of PM2, which is OSS. Seems to have decent plans for small dev shops.

- Nodetime (http://www.appdynamics.com/nodejs/): another option...

Heroku also provides a bunch of monitoring "add-ons" compatible with Node.js.

I guess this solution is different because you don't have to modify your code to enable monitoring.

I'm curious how they intend to crack the Java stranglehold. I guess they intend to build on existing developer mindshare, and make sure ops can support the latest flavour of the month.
There is also the concept of a trade secret.

Why not just use the word "compiler"?
Exactly. Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, if their goal is just to win this case, it doesn't seem like it's in their best interests to have the case go to trial, if they think they'll win before a trial.
IANAL, but: for all the comments stating "there are two sides to every lawsuit," let me say that oftentimes there aren't. And just because someone threatens to sue someone else does not mean the party being sued did anything wrong, it just means plaintiff wanted to sue the defendant.

I'm speaking from personal experience, a former employer threatened to sue me for unspecified 'trade secret infringement,' and it cost over $20k in legal fees to convince ourselves we were covering all our bases.

The problem is there's a basic asymmetry in these situations: it costs very little to initiate a lawsuit, or even just threaten to initiate a lawsuit. We were so scared we spent money on lawyers (and a second opinion!) before anything had even hit the court system.

Probably obvious advice we should've taken: do nothing until they'd actually filed something, then respond only to specific allegations. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff, and California has some really excellent worker protections around IP etc. Had we just ignored them it probably would've blown over.

Shred sounds like they're on top of this, but if anyone needs the name of a good IP lawyer in CA (he's in LA), message me and I'll put you in touch. I would love to refer him some business because he gave me hours of free advice, and was generally very good about keeping costs down. (Relatively speaking. Signing a check over to a law firm feels like the worst use of capital.)
You do realize you linked to a page about trademarks and not copyrights?
I guess you mean at a lower layer, like everything below the transport layer, including packet framing, byte sequences, and radio modulation techniques. That's a good point.

And that would be true for virtually all "encrypted" human wireless communications today -- that we could see the structure at all of the layers below where the encryption is applied -- but isn't it still possible with some spread-spectrum techniques to make a meaningful radio signal look quite a bit like noise?

I started PeerCube https://www.peercube.com, an online crowd-lending analytics and automation service, in 2012 as a side project. In 2015, the service is managing more than $50 millions in retail lender portfolios. We also do custom analysis for institutional lenders who are managing over $500 million in crowd-lending investments. It is now full-time work for my wife and I.

Most interesting aspect is that I have no professional background in finance other than managing personal investment portfolio and a few finance courses during MBA. Now I am working with hedge fund managers and financial institutions on risk assessment and management, securitization, and valuations that are considered highly technical and domain specific.
The Aging Advantage
actually, google docs ARE append only. They use the vaunted google wave tech of Operational Transforms. every single timestamped keystroke is saved separately in the database. when two users are involved, and editing simultaneously, the OT algorithms resolve the merge conflict on the spot. it kind of looks like a tree structure, or an append only array. the actual document you are looking it is actually something like a flattened keyframe in a movie that's reached the end.

In Seattle, the old rail lines through the city are converted to bike trails, or simply left to the weeds. Light rail is done by blasting a new corridor through the city at incredible expense, often paralleling the weedy old tracks.
The OP's question is one that an interviewee would love to hear if they've saved up money and are actually searching for their dream job, while living comfortably on those savings. This is the real annoyance with the employer-employee relationship: the lack of any genuine relationship. Most of the time, the employer wants the best talent without having to pay for it or compromising on anything, and the employee just wants the highest salary/package possible.

The real win would be this: I find a company whose product I truthfully want to invest my interest in. You realize my potential and pay me the $150k I am worth compared to the $80k I make now, considering I routinely provide the quantity of work you get from 3-4 juniors at $50k each, at a superior quality where every line of code written isn't adding to the technical debt.

Oh, and I'll take my 4-5 weeks of yearly vacation instead of the 2-3 bullshit weeks you expect me to be satisfied with. If only more than 1% of the companies out there actually owned a product worth being excited about. :(
Fantastic. So many hours spent in MS Paint and friends when I was younger. Firing up your demo site made me feel like a kid again.

Well, the 2 extra lines come from the 28s being a graphing calculator, they're essentially free. They're nice, but having gone from 1 line in an 67 to 4 in the 28s, I'm pretty sure the important threshold is "more than 1 line".

On the other hand, I wouldn't want to switch to a 35s because I read it has a stack of only 4 levels. I find it very useful for summing a long list of numbers to key them all in, and then double check against the list as I do each addition. Hmmm, it's also easier to keep track of where you are in that process with an extra 2 visible lines.

Germany may have been defeated at the end of WWII, but France was routed during the war. The Germans occupied the northern parts of the country, and were widely accepted by a population of collaborators and anti-Semites. The Vichy government of the south was a puppet structure controlled by the Nazis. The French did not successfully resist, or participate in the victory in any meaningful way, until they started writing textbooks in the post-War period. France was reconquered by Americans, British and Canadian soldiers with a token French army.

The whole point of the system is to encourage products that are successful enough to make some royalties and then become public domain.
Call me crazy, but I always thought Quirky was solving the wrong thing. The limit on a hardware company usually isn't the idea, it's the execution. And crowd sourcing significant portions of the design process to an amorphous community doesn't seem like a huge advantage: hardware design and manufacturing is really the province of specialists, oftentimes with very deep domain knowledge. If I'm going to build a camera, I'm going to get someone who's built cameras before, not cars.

I just think the wisdom of the crowd can't replace that deep domain knowledge, but I might have been biased against Quirky from the beginning: I met the team at TED years ago, before they were Quirky -- I think they were called 'Kluster' at the time. They were trying to transition from being a hardware startup that made ipod/iphone accessories to a 'crowd-sourced idea marketplace' or something. But their most impressive employee was leaving, because they couldn't find a role for him through the transition, and clearly weren't doing anything to retain him (ironically, he was a hardware guy... would've been helpful in the transition to Quirky).

So I guess I see this as a morality tale about recognizing and retaining talent more than anything.

Signing an Armistice is not a victory. The French and Germans both signed, after French soil was occupied for years and many of its best farmland destroyed during the war. The Germans were outmaneuvered during the negotiations of the Treaty of Versailles, because their government had been destabilized. The French were resting on their laurels every time the Germans invaded, all through the 19th century and the 20th. It's a national pass time.
It affects (non-cellular) iPads with iOS9 as well, so likely not a carrier-related issue. So it's not issue #3. And like you say, a lot more than iOS9 would be out of sync if it was #2. So we're going to have to go with #1 - Apple broke something in ntp.
This is exactly what gives IP law its power. The judge has no choice, and as the defendant you need to make the choice of paying for the lawsuit or paying for the license. The license is always cheaper.
Any citations?

Why would I agree to pay someone per performance, instead of paying someone for a license to each performance?

If I break the license agreement, Warner can void my license, and then pursue their copyright claim against me.
Oakland is already an attractive new location for tech companies. It is my sincerest hope that the policy-makers in Oakland see what happened in SF with housing, and are proactive in controlling rent to avoid displacing low-income people and most importantly, the people who contribute to the city's culture.
Cool stuff. Curious to know what systems these containerized tasks are pulling data from. Does adroll consider let those containers access production database instances? Or are they backed by non-production systems? (EDIT: I understand that it's S3 for intermediate steps. But I'm curious where the data comes from initially.)
Only 2 of the words are unique to HBTY. The others are taken from GMTU
"Fyi, for anyone that has paid for a license. The fact that the copyright is dead does not necessarily mean licensing contracts are also void.
"

Well, this is true for copyrights, but 100% false for patents.
You cannot collect royalties for expired patents, for example.
Attempts to do so by contract are void.
Why would you need to go to these lengths (waiting 2 years and competing in a different geogrpahical region)? What have you done wrong by making a competitor to your previous companies product? I ask this because I am thinking of doing something similar due to the fact that my employer is extremely incompetent. I am the only developer of a project that I helped take from no revenue to hundreds of thousands of dollars revenue but that should be making millions of dollars revenue. Unfortunately, I am micro-managed and often just have to implement the ridiculous ideas of my boss.

If I made a competitor, it would obviously share some of the same ideas as the current project. I mean, every social network has an "add friend" function, for example. Some things are just the right way to do things, or inherently part of the business domain.

If they started patenting all of my ideas, I would expect to actually be paid a decent salary.

We have a few cases of containers pulling (meta)data from databases. We use Postgres on RDS, so setting up a read-replica is very easy. Containers can safely access these replicas.

Raw data is collected by our bidders and adservers that push data to S3 and Kinesis for real time consumers (http://tech.adroll.com/blog/data/2015/06/26/kinesis.html)

As near as I can tell, they aren't trying to be a digital currency, just a digital payment system.

This is really an iteration on PayPal (and similar businesses): the new feature is that it is a system for letting multiple PayPals compete. Instead of being forced to make an account with a specific company, you can pick from a hopefully-large number of mints, who will be competing on things like fees and the customer experience. That will hopefully make things suck less.

BitCoin solves a lot of problems most people don't care about. Most people don't care about Byzentine Generals or trustless transactions or very limited forms of anonymity. What most people care about are low-cost transactions which don't suck. We'll have to wait and see if Taler can actually deliver.

And also build enough housing.
There are more than 2 million "farms" in the U.S. Snag "One in Three" of those as paying customers (at nearly $1k/year) and it's very unlikely you'd need to use TechCrunch as a marketing and PR platform.
Just curious, are these clauses really enforceable? Or even often enforced?
I am debating between meteor and relay at the moment. I am thinking relay. Maybe because of graphql, maybe because I don't like the fact that Meteor was pushing Blaze up until recently. I don't know yet. Anyone want to do a comparison of the two? :)
I know brilliant people who live 5 to a 2br in SF despite being all on Tech salaries. As long as people think that this is the living arrangement they want, companies will be able to get away with hiring people in a housing shortage here.
Instead of controlling rents, wouldn't it be better to adopt a housing policy which increases supply for everyone? For example, the office space is projected to house 3000 employees in 2 years. Why not plan on building about 3000 housing units in that same time frame?

Japan has culture and aesthetic handled. Why does everyone think that humanities college coursework somehow endows students with something exclusive and rose colored. Humanities courses are enjoyable but too subjective and liberal. Sociology in the U.S. is a joke. Good riddance. Learning a craft is better guidance towards understanding human experience. Problem solving in a workshop is what the soul needs.
Much to my surprise, I've found Groupon to feature killer deals for discounted refurbished phones, tablets, etc. I've gotten a 32GB Nexus 7 (2nd gen) LTE for $200 , they have a Samsung S5 right now for $270 (but check reviews, caveat emptor etc).
Haven't read the order, but your analysis suggests that its an orphaned work. Which leads one to a whole other problem with copyright law...
Rent control is what led to the mess in SF. I sincerely hope that Oakland works to adopt sane housing policies.
My First 30 Days at a Startup and the 5 Things I've Learned
Exercise never feels terrible to me, and my mind always feels clearer afterwards.
Because that would decrease housing prices. What will happen is homeowners will talk about the need to keep Oakland's character, which is codeword for stopping development of housing to increase home values.
Because there's effectively no barrier to keep pushing this stuff over and over until it finally takes hold, whether out of outrage fatigue or dumb luck.
I suspect Warner/Chappell irritated the judge by trying to play fast and loose with the discovery process - up to that point the plaintiff's case was built around an argument of constructive abandonment that he seemed somewhat cool towards, but the coincidence of late production and 'accidental' smearing of probative text during the scanning of one particular document were middle-school moves.
You're absolutely right. Why don't we just throw every law in the trash because someone might not follow it.
But you can keep royalties received on patents that are later found to be invalid, which I think is what the parent is trying to say.
Correction from what? They say they filed chapter 11. Standard bankruptcy for companies is chapter 11 in most people's minds...most companies that go through bankruptcy file chapter 11.
It's the same thing for android, which I find really annoying. Actually it's a bit worse there, because you can't easily access the old releases. That means if someone does a quick hotfix to something big, you'll usually only see "fixed crash in previous release", not a long list of actual changes :(
Driving up supply? The demand isn't even met yet. When there is a shortage you need to encourage interest.
> But they don't get explored because the State has a monopoly on violence and is very resistant to change.

Also, because most people consider the State and its monopoly on violence to be a perfectly adequate solution to the problem.
