Unfortunately, wealthy citizens in other countries mistakenly aspire to this American/Canadian model of suburban residential development, hence the increasing popularity of suburban residential fabric in India, China etc.

That being said, here in Toronto, there's been a wave of newer developments[1] in these very the outer suburbs that are based, somewhat, on principles of compact, urban patterns. It's not quite urban, because of course they still have to deal with the existing building regulations and zoning codes in the suburbs that essentially make it illegal to build anything but sprawl - but it's something to keep an eye on.

The paragraph preceding what you quoted also had this to say: "Cadmium sulfide is not very toxic (LD50 > 5000 mg/kg) when used as a pigment, although acute exposure to cadmium vapors from welding is harmful." In the case of these workers there are many details missing (whether they're using cadmiums, whether there is more exposure risk) but at least here in the US, all cadmiums I own are real and come with datasheets such as the one below:

Azo colors, from manufacturers I am familiar with anyway, name their products as such ("Azo Yellow" instead of "Cadmium Yellow").

Regarding CSS color names, I would hope that anyone who actually recognizes the word cadmium would be aware that there pixel is not suddenly made of zinc and that their seagreen background has not suddenly become saltwater. Now if it were the other way around, i.e. the names had always been arbitrary and suddenly someone decided it would be a great way to stick hazardous chemicals into things..!

Oh, let me be clear that any starting point will definitely have more work to do and will never be in ballpark as top Intel/AMD/IBM CPU's. The reason is that they use large teams of pro's with the best tools often doing full-custom HW development. Full-custom means they'll do plenty to improve HDL, RTL, and even wiring of gates they use. Think of Standard Cell as Java web applications with full custom being like delivering a whole platform with a board, firmware, assembler, OS components, and native applications. That's maybe illustrative of the differences in skills and complexity.

Example of custom design flow

Note: Load up this right next to the simple, 90nm MCU PDF I gave you and compare the two. I think that you'll easily see the difference in complexity. One you'll be able to mostly follow just googling terms and understand a lot of what they're doing. You're not going to understand the specifics of the full-custom flow at all. Simply too much domain knowledge built into it that combines years of analog and digital design knowledge. Top CPU's hit their benchmarks using full-custom for pipelines, caches, etc.

Example of verification that goes into making those monstrosities work:

So, yeah, getting to that level of performance would be really hard work. The good news is that modern processors, esp x86, are lots of baggage that drains performance that we don't need. Simpler cores in large numbers with accelerators can be much easier to design and perform much better. Like so:

http://www.cavium.com/OCTEON-III_CN7XXX.html

Now, that's 28nm for sure. Point remains, though, as Cavium didn't have nearly the financial resources of Intel despite their processors smoking them in a shorter amount of time. Adapteva's 64-core Epiphany accelerator was likewise created with a few million dollars by pro's and careful choice of tooling. So, better architecture can make up for the lack of speed that comes from full-custom.
re: roel's post

Herpes outbreaks are not necessarily apparent visually, which is true for both hsv-1 AND hsv-2 ("genital herpes").

The only way to really know if you are infected is to get tested during an outbreak, which is not always easy to do as outbreaks do not always correspond to visual cues. So you either need to trust the person you're intimating with or you need to take precautions, which also don't always prevent infection. Condoms reduce the transmission rate, for example, but don't preclude transmission to areas of the body not covered by the condom.

I think the question is really what resolution you would get. Consider the fictional situation where Company A makes a derived work of the novel Harry Potter without permission. They then sell a license to Company B to make derived works of their work. Company B writes a novel in the Harry Potter world, thinking they have a license to do so.

When Company B is sued by the copyright holder of Harry Potter, they hold up their license and say, "See. We have permission". My (very limited) understanding of copyright law is that the court would quickly find the license invalid since Company A never had the ability to grant the license. Company B would lose the lawsuit, pay some money and have an injunction against distributing their work. They would then be invited to sue Company A to recover their costs.

I don't fully agree with the config thing. In microsoft land you can transform your configs based on a build parameter. And if you're using MS SQL you don't even need to use a password login, you give the service account the permissions to access the database. It's pretty harmless and fairly standard.
This is why downvotes are a stupid idea. So many mixed signals to misinterpret. Anyone downvoting this guy is part of the problem, because you're just locking him in his own cage of ignorance, without explaining to him why he's getting downvoted.

Anywho, the main error in your post really has to do with the fact that you'll catch this kind of thing from water fountains, silverware, accidentally sipping from the wrong glass, touching a paper cup against a fountain soda dispenser, after someone else did the same, and then drinking from said cup, sitting on toilet seats. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Now, instead of being locked in a prison of ignorance, you'll be locked in a prison of germophobia. Ah well...

> I think it's part of a general trend of language designers (and even language fans) not understanding what makes languages work in practice.

Maybe, or maybe not all language designers have the goal of making their language as popular as possible. A language can be popular enough, such that it has a good community and good set of libraries, without trying to get everyone to switch.

In fact, depending on what you're looking for, a language can become too popular. In this case, you start getting people in the community that detract from it, rather than contribute to it.
If you want to work on the front-end, learning fundamental JavaScript will be your best asset.

I agree basically here, but not at all with your original. We're off on a tangent. But first class was a bit slopy of me.

Anyway, there is a long history of trying to adopt a functional style to c++ in a way that makes sense for a static, weakly type language without garbage collection. After all, this is basically what the STL was all about.

Undoubtably using the modern c++ lambda can make this style of code clearer and better structured.

One could argue, I suppose, that it's still a bad approach - but it's not any easy argument in general.

Requiring first class functions to always be named isn't such a great idea (not speaking of c++ here), but it is true anonymous functions can be abused.

Thanks for the data. I'll factor that into future comments. The direction that leads, though, is improve the usability rather than toss out the whole system or its principles.

My main recommendation if anyone asks with intent to deploy is paper and optical readers. Cheap, easy to use, easy to check at booth, and easy to audit later. I prefer computers stay out of voting as much as possible. However, if they're there, Scantegrity line and Civitas seem like top contenders to build on.

Also note in any analysis that secure voting has so many seemingly-contradictory requirements and attack points that any solution will likely pose difficulties. I expect some responsibility and effort from the system's users just like they must put effort into learning to drive. That said, the usability can certainly improve and we should put every effort into that.

I'm not a huge fan of the hamburger button either, but it's certainly not a good example of something that breaks platform conventions. In fact, some use the hamburger button over other, more descriptive icons precisely because, in today's UX landscape, it's conventional to do so.
"Instead I genuinely hope that YC will force companies taking the 7% into a no selling on data policy"

I did a paper on (sort of) this in law school. My focus was on civil law systems and I'm not claiming I'm the world's foremost expert on this topic.

With that out of the way, it's not that easy. When a company goes bankrupt, it doesn't have a say on what happens to its assets. Furthermore, a liquidator doesn't have to honor commitments made by the company. (this is also why 'software escrow' in the cheap form that is implemented so often is, imo, legally on shaky ground - this was the actual topic of my paper).

So what are the options? One is to put the 'ownership' of customer data (what that means exactly is a whole discussion in itself) into a separate company. But that company can't be owned by the 'real' company, it's tricky in many way. And costly. And makes things (very) difficult, operationally. And it takes away the ownership of a critical asset, making it near impossible to get investment (because who will invest in a company that doesn't 'own' its customer data?) Etc. I don't think anyone follows through on their claims of being 'careful with customer data' to this extent, but then again, of course I don't know the operations of every company in the world.

Basically, once you are in a database of a company, and if that database is worth anything, you are up shit creek when that company goes bust - good intentions and promises do not matter one bit. A new guy comes in who doesn't care about his 'reputation' in the field the company was in, who has a legal duty to get the highest price for any assets, and who is not bound by anything the company did or said. It doesn't take a law degree to figure out how that works out for the 'privacy' of the (former) users/customers.

Oh no, that's a fair critique. You could say my comment is conditional. There's two ways it may be interpreted depending on the project's intent:

1. Many projects are running with the idea that Bitcoin-style tech will change the world and let's all build on it for anything security-related. They intend to see eventual uptake of whatever they make after a certain amount of development. If it's one of those, then my critique stands fully.

2. If it's a side project for fun/exploration, then my critique becomes a precautionary note that doesn't apply to it. There's nothing wrong with making arbitrary projects for fun or learning: plenty right about that on the contrary. :)

Hope that clears it up.
Thanks, this is useful, but isn't that a straw man? Aren't I basically just guaranteed to get it from kissing people who have it for long enough? I'm not a germaphobe in other cases, I don't mind lightly washing and sharing silverware or drinking out of a glass someone has drunk from. Maybe if they're a stranger I won't put my mouth to it.

I think "locked in a prison of ignorance" is quite strong phrasing. Unless I'm wrong about how it's transmitted, if I regularly kissed total strangers I'd have it by now.

are you saying I just shouldn't mind at all? (Like, I shouldn't even consider it?)

It makes sense in many cases: when, say, Verizon Wireless acquired Alltel, an Alltel customer who has automatic monthly billing set up shouldn't be required to re-set up billing with Verizon, simply because it's a new company.

It's not clear to me that the same intuition applies if the Alltel equivalent is shutting down because it was mismanaged, and the Verizon equivalent was created by one of the mismanagers and has no other assets, but it's hard for me to imagine there's a meaningful legal distinction.

Also, I didn't realize that was what was causing the downvotes.

Fascinating, thanks for a great link. Could publishing health research data in the opposite direction help?

Today we hand medical researchers large databases pre-filled with the data they seek.

As we move into a world of increasingly ubiquitous biometric monitoring, asymptotically trending towards real-time, could the data gathering be flipped around instead? Individuals become the only ones who own their detailed DNA profile (the profile with billions of base pairs stored), held on either a personal device with suitable encrypted backups (ideal) or held on their behalf by a trusted service (encrypted with a key only the individual holds). Researchers send out requests for specific data ("weekly blood pressure of males between 20-60, with these genetic markers, starting now/5-years-ago"). Individuals either manually approve matching requests or set up approval "subscriptions"/rules. Requests matched with data sources get anonymized data of course.

Researchers not only can get data this way, they get a continuous, crowd-sourced data feed. Longitudinal studies might get easier to set up through this kind of channel. There isn't a way to ID someone by their feed and the researchers' requested, limited matching genetic markers alone, unless an attacker systematically breaks into multiple research databases, and starts building a Palantir-like correlation amongst all the hacked databases; that dramatically raises the detection risk to the attacker. Another attack is an overly-broad set of genetic markers in a single request, and those requests can be auto-denied before even getting into the brokering system. Short-term, we can prohibit the collection of any part of the 13-base-pair CODIS markers, though long-term we have to assume that CODIS or its future successors will eventually expand to a larger set of markers (and in the far, far future, possibly the entire sequenced genome).

> Any emphasis on sex is sexist. Any emphasis on race is racist. We aren't defined by the color of our skin or what we have between our legs.

I see this attitude not infrequently among pseudo-liberal city crowds. I've heard the claims that we're postracial or past the need for feminism or civil rights activism.

I agree that's how it should be, but it's not. Civil rights was only a generation ago, and america has spent more time mistreating its women and minorities than not. It's delusional to believe that everything is going to be fixed.

The reality is that women do have a tougher time due to various social programming, and minorities do as well in many industries due to stereotypes that we all hold. To pretend like we all have the same advantages in America is a lie, and one that benefits the ones already at the top.

Here's a good test: if gender/religion/etc truly doesn't matter, would you rather be a <not straight>, <not white>, <not man> who practices <not christianity> in america, or a straight white anglo man? It shouldn't matter, right?

It's a time tested heuristic. If a result cannot be communicated well enough for others to replicate or if it strongly depends upon local conditions (doesn't really matter which reason), we should either focus on something else or figure out why. If there is no independent replication, there is no chance to learn either of the above and no reason to have confidence we know what is going on.

I see no quagmire, it is all very straightforward. I will not believe my own results until others replicate them. Even once is not enough to hang my hat on. What alternative approach do you use to judge whether an observation is worth theorizing about?

When you run a business into the ground, some decisions about what you sell get taken over by courts, at the direction of your creditors.

When you trust your data with a company, you're not just trusting its ethics, you're trusting its long term viability too.
