Seriously though, are you an employee at Twitter or Square, or are you basing this statement on the fact that you (presumably someone who doesn't see what's going on within Twitter and Square) only see Jack in interviews, and he tells the same story?

I mean, I'm by no means a big time CEO, but the only contact people outside my company have with what's going on internally are interviews. And when I give interviews I tell the same story probably almost identically, word for word. Why? Because that's the story. It doesn't change interview to interview. You have one story, one vision, one mission, and you talk about it to anyone who asks. That's not surprising.

Internally, if you're not an employee or talking to employees (ideally executives), you pretty much have zero idea what the CEO does day to day.

I think enough congresscritters have been making noise about being upset they can only read it behind closed doors during the negotiation process that they will probably read it now that it is being published in full. Michael Capuano, the rep for East Cambridge/Somerville, MA sent out an update that was basically saying "letting us read it in a closet without taking notes is basically useless. I'm a tax lawyer, not an international trade expert, so without outside input, I can't decide anything meaningful about it.

Will be interesting to see how much of the leaked chapters is still in there. The old one said to make ISP's more liable for data being transfered through it. Imports of copyrighted goods without the authors permission will be made illegal (and they said barriers to international trade was dead). Copyright Terms will be extended in several countries. DRM protection is extended so that those who "enabl[e] or facilitat[e]" circumvention can be charged even if they do not violate a copyright (fun time for researchers). Last it dictate that generic medicine is destroyed if such happen to be found in a country where a patent cover it (all those who complain about Russia burning smuggled food might find this interesting).

Well, in the class of processors I buy, near lowest speed Xeon E3 family, Sandy Bridge -> Ivy Bridge had a small price decrease, a 100MHz speed increase, and added graphics (resulting in a rather big systems savings), Ivy Bridge -> Haswell is exactly the same price (say $6 less after inflation) and adds another 100MHz, plus an incrementally better microarchitecture and I'm sure better graphics. There's also more integration, perhaps resulting in lower motherboard prices, and Skylake has SKUs integrating the PCH at the cost of fewer PCIe lanes.

We certainly aren't seeing the big jumps from previous generations, but it isn't entirely static. And this is a segment with much less pressure on power consumption than mobile, and perhaps other Xeons that go into huge machine rooms that I'm read are now more power limited than anything else.

The Answer is No
Just to be clear: people were able to "read it in a closet" while it was being negotiated, because Congress was not supposed to be in the loop for the negotiation. That is no longer the case; the treaty will now be published and downloadable on the Internet, and Congress will have months to read it, discuss it, and to decide whether to ratify it.

>"How do you respond to needs if it's all opaque? For example, for a city of 100,000 people how do you decide how many sheets of toilet paper you need? Or razor blades? Or tampons?"

You monitor stock levels.

The same functions that apply to a commercial enterprise would apply to a non-commercial one. You'd still have a 'merchandising department' monitoring stock levels, ensuring enough weeks of cover (based on usage trends), setting when to manufacture and how much, etc...

In addition, by having multiple sources of toilet roll you can temporarily boost the stock in one region if another region has a small surplus.

I'm sorry that you had to live through shortages, it's probably no consolation that the problems were caused by mismanagement, but from what I can see they aren't an intrinsic part of communism.

>I'm simply pointing out that the most common criticism of the TPP --- that it's a "secret" deal --- is both inaccurate and not particularly significant.

This is an important point. And furthermore, I'd even argue that it was necessary. The lack of transparency in the negotiations was to allow country's negotiators to be able to put their cards on their table without being immediately skewered out of context. For example, if Japan's negotiator proposed eliminating tarries on rice imports into her country as a carrot, the uproar back home would be enormous. But if it resulted in say, a removal on tariffs for exported Japanese cars, then the country could see it as a net win when the final agreement was put forth.

The secrecy was only there to let them barter freely before arriving at a conclusion. Otherwise, the negotiations would have gotten nowhere, and free trade would be nowhere.
Totally agree.. and then again by the move to mobile devices.

> Either you believe that free trade

I wish we wouldn't speak about such things in singular form, without qualifying what we mean specifically.

A normal trade agreement is something along the lines of "we promise to not tax import of European cars, if you promise to tax Asian lawn mowers", or "if you promise to allow antibiotics for farm animals", or something else a commissioner wants to see implemented.

Is this for or against free trade? It is part of a free trade deal so one could argue it is for, by definition. But that stance makes it very hard to discuss these things, especially in media sound bites. And that's exactly where we are today.

I think if it's one thing we've seen during the past ten years, it is that such negotiations needs to become more transparent. They have turned into political issues where's there is an opinion (which is a good thing!) many years before the facts are public.

I once worked for a company that had managers, etc, but the president would call in the developers and designers and artists regularly for a project meeting if they were involved and the devs/designers/artists could (and did) speak up about how feasible things were, how long they thought it would take them, and how they thought it could be better. It was a mostly flat hierarchy (basically devs -> one layer of leads/managers -> president), but it did exist.
I think this will be good for Twitter. Jack will be able to make big identity and design decisions over the next few years with less pushback from the employees and users than any non-founder CEO. He's already begun by declaring that tweets will extend beyond 140 chars, and the response has been apprehension instead of outright rejection. And for Twitter to remain competitive with Facebook, even as Facebook builds Notes and live-streaming video to cater journalists, Twitter is going to need to make many of these decisions.

Yep, I have a friend who pays $150/month for 50mbit/s satellite with a 20G data cap. He makes heavy use of the unmetered time from 12am-4am though. And yea, I did some look ups before about this issue and it's ridiculous the cap structure some of these providers have, like this bit from Wild Blue:

> After exceeding either of the usage thresholds, which vary by service package, we may significantly slow and/or restrict your service, or certain uses of your service. Your full service will be restored when your data usage in the prior 30 days falls below 70% for both usage thresholds.

So, if you go over, then for the next 30 days you're throttled UNTIL your volume stays under 70% of your cap over a 30 day period... Like, how is it even legal to sell one thing, but punish for using more than 70% of it sometimes
I think I should have said "free trade agreements" and not "free trade". I think that defuses the semantic gap here.

not original commentor, but chiming in here:

> When you say there isn't enough, is that there isn't physically enough spectrum, or is it just that there isn't enough licensable spectrum (or even enough available unlicensed spectrum)?

Both. Or rather physical spectrum is a superset of licencable spectrum and already the physical spectrum only has so many quantum numbers to encode information in.

We can pretty much rule out orbital momentum encoding for satellite transmissions; the effects the atmosphere has on polarization are just too strong, for orbital momentum to survive to a degree, that it remains usable for consumer grade equipment.

That leaves as encodable quantum numbers:
- frequency
- amplitude
- polarization
- momentum (i.e. direction of propagation)

The band usable for radio satellite communication, i.e. able to pass through the atmosphere is rather narrow (compared with the whole EM spectrum): About between 100MHz up to 20GHz. That leaves you with a total usable bandwidth of about 19.9GHz.

Multiply that with the symbol density reachable through AM (under good conditions with a low noise floor you can encode about 5 to 6 bits). Polarization gives another bit. Spatial multiplexing gives you log2(n steerable directions) extra bits (usually not more than 4 beams you can control). Divide that by two, because existing transceiver systems (except for some lab systems) can't do full duplex on a given channel.

If you multiply that up this gives you a theoretical limit of about 10TBit/s you can implement for a given satellite location (having several satellites in proximity means they have to share the spatial encoding bits).
I'm sort of unsure of this generally. It's certainly changed.

Flipside news: 1 subject. 2 opposite sides. Your opinion
Larry Wall is speaking at the San Francisco Perl Mongers meeting this evening. Along with most of my team at work, my wife and I are going to attend this event.

The biggest of the three big items remaining in Perl 6 development before GA has been completed, give or take. (The Great List Refactor) I'm not 100% sure of the status of the other two, but I think the Unicode stuff is also well on its way as well.

My prediction is that he will be announcing some kind of Perl 6 1.0 pre-release this evening.

Given that Perl 5 has been helping me pay my bills for the past 22 years, I'm more than a little excited!
Customarily the seller pays customs which is a percent of the price IIRC, the free trade zones allow China and other countries to ship stuff in bulk to another country and stage it as well as offset the cost of customs until the time of purchase. So it allows them to pre-ship bulk items to domestic staging areas. This may account for how the item gets to your country, but yes is does not account for domestic shipping. China may have agreements in place for domestic rates in other countries but that I do not know. I do know the Special Economic Zones account for the ability to get items from China to consumers at extremely low cost per item.

I'm short Twitter. The fact of the matter is it that Twitter should never have become a multibillion-dollar company. There is no barrier to entry into this space---any competent web developer could make a non-scaling Twitter in an afternoon---except network effects, and those have proved weak due to poor user experience, particularly for new users.

Twitter should have treated itself like a utility, and focused less on the online advertising race-to-the-bottom that it is sure to lose due to the aforementioned poor user experience and negative sentiment about the platform's future; this announcement is only going to continue to contribute to poor impressions.

The other monetization directions they have played around with---namely selling access to researchers and advertisers, and certifying identities of accounts for celebrities and brands---are a much better fit for the platform, and would have sustained a fast-moving company of 50 hotshot engineers. But the constant pressure to get bigger and bigger has served Twitter poorly. I'm sad to say that I think it will be a ghost town in a few years.

But, in fairness, not as big as a leap as the OP from three unconnected people got fired for behaviours some people might consider to be a matter of conscience to people holding certain views are effectively barred from senior positions in the US.

In practice, the examples aren't very good: John Derbyshire was writing controversial material on race for years before National Review decided some of his articles in other publications were damaging their own reputation, at which point he promptly got a job at another publication that saw his extreme racism as an asset; Eich's resignation was extremely unusual and has the obvious counterexample of Kim Davis' job being well protected even when her political stance meant refusing to fulfil some of its requirements, and I'm not convinced that senior executives sometimes quitting over embarrassing revelations about their private life is really a sign that their employability is conditional on them holding certain sets of political views.

As much as I am disgusted by the secrecy of these negotiations, the way they seem to be pushed down our throats, and indeed some of the stuff that was leaked (like the ISDS), there does seem to be some good stuff in it:

"The worker standards commit all parties to the International Labor Organization’s principles for collective bargaining, a minimum wage and safe workplaces, and against child labor, forced labor and excessive hours."

and:

"The changes, which also are expected to set a precedent for future trade pacts, respond to widespread criticisms that the Investor-State Dispute Settlement panels favor businesses and interfere with nations’ efforts to pass rules safeguarding public health and safety."

Who knows? This might actually have turned into a decent treaty. But only because of all the massive criticism on the bits that leaked through all the secrecy.
Well, for one, you don't have to rely on observers/watchers anymore. You also don't have to pass functions back up scopes/templates/components. It's also really easy to keep your code organized (since data can only go one direction, in a big circle, it's much easer to follow the flow of logic).
Let's just say there isn't enough "usable" spectrum, which partly has resulted in this licensing regime. Different frequency signals have different propagation characteristics and so only certain frequency ranges are amenable to specific use cases. For one, higher frequencies are more easily absorbed by materials, so you only get a few 100 MHz of frequencies suitable for long distance transmissions. As an example, even for home WiFi, you will note that 2.4GHz signals will travel farther in your home than 5GHz signals. With today's tech, usable frequencies are a scarce resource.
