Why would it be more useful? If they offered LTE you would need an account with a wireless provider to be able to use it, which is probably not an option for tourists who would pay insane roaming fees. On the other hand with WiFi most wireless carriers offer WiFi calling anyway nowadays, so you're able to do anything that you could also do on LTE.
For anyone interested in learning more about this cultural divide within mathematics -- theory building versus problem solving -- Fields medalist Tim Gowers has an interesting article: https://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~wtg10/2cultures.pdf.

People I talk to are often surprised to learn that there is quite a bit of snobbery within mathematics on this issue. Mostly people in theory-heavy subjects looking down on areas that revolve more around problem solving. Of course, it's academia, so it surprises me that anyone is surprised that there are turf wars and snobbery.

By allowing anyone to knock off the chip without paying back the R&D. There's already a huge market of counterfeits and clones coming out of China for most things you can think of. It's even easier without reverse engineering: hand design to a fab, individual or MPW, then package and sell the chips.

Very little of the price of chips you buy is the material or packaging costs. It's mostly R&D recoup, marketing, administrative, and profit. Most of these companies get all that straight through sales of the chips. Eliminate everything but a tiny margin over physical costs and whats left for further development?
I wonder if Cameron has some designs on releasing Avatar 2 in 3D VR.

It would seem to me that being able to make those Visuals available in VR would more than live up to the article's quote "will make me crap myself with my mouth open"

A theatre full of occulus rift goggles would probably be comparable to the cost of a single imax screen and projector.

Plus as an individualized experience, maybe you could do it in much smaller groups, start on demand, etc...

Plus rewatchability and easter eggs (look behind you when the explosion happens and you'll see mickey dancing)

Avatar 2 being 100% computer gen is a prime candidate for a VR release.
I think it comes down to fares. You can travel between any two stations on the subway for $2.75. In contrast, the HK metro charges a fare between ~$0.50 to $7.00 depending on destination. Many other metro systems across the world use a zone-based fare scheme as well.

There's always a public outcry when MTA announces they're going to raise fares, and any attempt to introduce a distance/zone-based fare would be denounced as unduly burdensome on the poor, since they tend to live further out. In any case, I don't think the current MetroCard-based system could support such a scheme anyway.

The number one thing to improve straphangers' "quality of travel" would be to implement CBTC[1] so that we can get countdown clocks to remove the uncertainty that comes with waiting for a train. If I know the next train is coming in 15 minutes, I can hang out above ground or by the stairs and use my cell service rather than standing on the platform not knowing whether the next train is 2 minutes or 20 minutes away.

Ask HN: What is your viable aka money making startup or side project idea?
I want to be clear before we start. I am not looking for fantasy ideas. E.g. Uber for X , AirBnB for Y. No , it doesn't work that way. I do personally know 3 founders who tried this stuff and failed. Uber is Uber and AirBnB is AirBnb. No more this for that. Also, ideas such as AI, deep learning, space travel require more research work than near immediate monetization opportunities available for solo entrepreneur. Notes app , timetracker, project management software have tons of tools and app so I am reluctant to try in these areas. AI Personal assistant also have large blockade for monetization. At this point I don't have necessary skillset for building AI bots.

I am looking for ideas like Improvely, ticket search, fashion cloths and marketplace optimization.

I want to know what is your startup idea that could also make money ?

We all have ideas but 90 % of them are fantasies or have near zero market potential.

You might not have time to realize that idea but I do. You could help make world better place.
If I like your idea and find potential in it I will build it myself and will compensate you at good amount at my discretion ( one time ).

I also have few of my own ideas but I don't think they have potential to make money much or might not have market potential. Here are few of them.

1. Better search engine than Amazon for retail.
2. Porn search engine ( I don't want to try but there is gigantic piece of money )
3. CPC advisor for publishers and advertisers

I have background in tech. Right now I work for one of the top 10 tech companies in Bay area. My skill set includes business intelligence, system design and architecture, hadoop ecosystem, new business opportunities and optimization.

Unfortunately I don't have much knowledge of finance but I think over time I will do fine as I am starting from zero.

Please let me know your ideas.

Microcode is a separate issue that's debateable. Their CPU hardware, patents, logistics, ecosystem, and branding are real source of revenue. Microcode release might nit hurt them. However, it might contain trade secret methods for utilizing hardware in a clever way that could give competition (mainly startups) an edge. Biggest players, esp AMD, probably already RE'd it.

That said, Im for opening up microcode and even push for microcoded RISC-V. The reason is you can do all kinds of stuff from optimizing algorithms to atomic functions. There were also HLL-to-microcode compilers in the past to make it easier.

Look up PALcode on Alpha ISA if you want a nice hybrid, too.

Perhaps because New York's Subway is much older? It's more than a 100 years old, and has been remarkably resilient through the decades.

I started studying ballet at the age of three and continued through high school. I eventually stopped to pursue other sports and academic interests, but I grew up rather alone as a young boy with an immense appreciation for — borderline obsession with — Mikhail Baryshnikov.

I vividly remember sharing in elementary school that Baryshnikov was my idol, while others talked of Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson, but it was usually just a source of ridicule, which I was used to. I'm in my thirties now and have always felt saddened by not having the chance to watch him perform as he retired about the age I started appreciating the greats in ballet. I ultimately married a (now retired) ballet dancer and we share the love for the art, though she more closely follows the female performers, understandably.

I have to share that I always felt a bit embittered when friends who watched Sex and the City would talk about his character because they never knew who he really was – one of the greatest male ballet dancers to walk this earth. I will say, though, that I got a kick out of getting a chance to tell them. As an adult, my former life as a dancer is far more appreciated, especially when we'd go out to a club, and most certainly after I met my wife.

I'm really excited to hear about this performance and I want to thank you for sharing. I will find a way to go, just to see him in the flesh.
Last I checked, they pretty much don't recover from page faults, they just abort whatever "program" you're trying to run, so you can't really use the MMU for clever things like demand paging. But that's not the point of the GPU's MMU in the first place.
The fallen of world war II – data visualization
It depends on like, a billion different things. Odds are if you havent fed any arguments to your VM it'll be concurrent mark-and-sweep. It depends on a ton of things like RAM avaialbility, percentages of ideal G0->G1 and G1->old [and if you've even defined your 'ideal' otherwise it defaults to around 20%], the predictability of your heap access and/or growth, if you're using/reusing object pools and the habits of that, and I'm sure a lot of different things. That's exactly why dpratt and I called foul-ball on this 'analysis' or whatever (because the JVM was _designed_ to warm up and tune itself). Rule of thumb - G1 is great for throughput if you have a ton of extra RAM and want that extra oompf (i.e., Bank of America's probably running WebSphere in a straight G1 configuration). On your dev machines unless you fed some weird params to the VM, you're almost certainly running parallel or concurrent mark and sweep. Unless your'e running Java on a mobile device you're 99.99% not running in Incremental, and the only time the JVM would defer from concurrent m&s to the incremental m&s is if you had a lot of RAM and only one processor available (I don't think I've ever seen that mode in my life).

They're the ones who decided to ask a server outside of their control for any and all data it has stored at an address and then used it in a way harmed themselves.

It's being done in Australia with aborigines. They're given large chunks of land, free income from the government or mining rights, and left to fend for themselves. They don't need to give value to other people, they can simply live, which is quite cheap without luxuries like electricity and permanent housing.
I don't have any direct answers, but the more ideas you execute on, the better chance something 'sticks', and the best thing you can do is make it as simple and as painless as possible to launch prototypes. Each time you do a project, take time to abstract the code into reusable components, templates, etc. and integrate it into a generator infrastructure with nodes that represent different 'types' of apps. Then when another idea comes to you, go to your generator node that is most similar, and spin something up with most of your codebase there, front end and back, incl. a stylish landing page. This is a serious time investment to get going, but if you're serious about launching an online business that 'sticks', you're most likely going to need to try out a lot of things.

As far as getting good ideas, I think they almost always have to come to you organically because you have a fascination or interest in the area, or you experience an obstacle somewhere, or you have a need for it personally. PG (or maybe it was Sam) spoke about getting into the right mindset for idea generation in the Stanford startup course, and the gist of it was 'go travel'... i.e. by default be in a 15-20 hr/ wk (max) work setup so you have time to explore things as they pique your interest.

- As FOSS as you can get, with mobile OSes

- Easy to reason about architecture

- Will evolve with the web (as well as the web's capabilities)

> I'm glad Forbes does have disclosures although I'm not sure how useful they are to casual readers to discern biases of one sort or another.

I agree with you that transparency is paramount. The FTC agrees with you and is regulating how this will work. https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/nat... I am not a huge proponent of / believer in regulators like the FTC truly fixing the issue but do hope they'll help achieve the shared goal. People have to demand it and publishers / media orgs have to embrace it.

> boil down to "it's just the way the world is."

That's a fair encapsulation, though I'd add that it's the way the world has always been. For millennia, artists and story tellers have bemoaned the next generation -- "kids these days aren't being thoughtful or correct; they're being vulgar to appeal to the masses." This has been the case since before the Upanishads and Beowulf, since before jazz was called "the devil's music," since before anyone started selling newspapers or airtime on radio and TV. People deviating from the norm are frowned upon, then they become the norm and frown on the next generation. The progression occurs for artistic reasons -- "this is the way we think and communicate now" -- and commercial reasons -- "this headline sells."

> quite a variety of pubs both online and offline, which have managed not to embrace the dark side of modern publishing quite so enthusiastically.

This is also true. Publications like The Economist, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Times have been incredibly wary of both the loss of editorial command and control that comes with allowing non-staff writers to regularly contribute stories and with selling advertorial products to advertisers. They are all getting into one or both areas to degrees.

Forbes, specifically, has been leading on both fronts and continues to push it. Those on the vanguard often have the most arrows sticking out of their chests. Some arrows are deserved; some are just from those in the norm bemoaning The Next Thing.

It is going to take longer than expected to have a perfect driverless car but when it is here the takeover is going to be extraordinarily quick.

I believe the regulatory hurdles will actually go the other way -- suddenly it is going to be very hard to be a human driver on a public road. It is the regulations which will force human drivers from the road, not self-driving technology. Someone can provide a better analogy than I can, but it would be the equivalent of trying to hand deliver a packet rather than send it across the internet.
