A fair number of semiconductors superconduct too (such as SrTiO3). The notable thing about graphene superconductivity is graphene's electrons, not its ability to semiconduct. Because of graphene's crystal structure, electrons propelled by a voltage will travel at constant speed, rather than accelerating. In this sense, the electrons are 'massless' (photons are massless, so they always travel at the speed of light and cannot be accelerated).
Tor circuits are not cheap.
I'm having trouble figuring out if this is a product that would benefit me. I'm a contractor / freelancer. When I take on a client, I receive a PSA with statement of work, and typically get paid on a Net 30 terms with Bill.com, mailed check, or direct deposit (however the client wants to pay me) managed with something like Quickbooks I'm guessing. The contracts are all very similar. Cash flow is definitely tricky because Net 30 is a pain. And invoicing is pretty easy. I use On The Job, create my pdf invoice, and send that to accounts payable on the first of the month.

- Is this product for a certain type of contractor? Size client?
- How does the flow work using your product?
- Is my use outside of the norm of your typical customers?
- What is different about your contracts that make them 'bulletproof'?

It depends on how you build your components.

If your component is React all the way down, it will be anything but trivial to extract it and could amount to a full rewrite. In reality this is true for whichever view layer you end up using (domvm included). The difference comes down to the structural flexibility the view layer affords you, speed and the weight it adds to your app code. domvm is 9k min for the view core or 13k min w/mutation observers, isomorphism and router.

In some sense, a jQuery component is much more reusable but slower than any view layer and the most ad-hoc. While there's still a dependency, there is not a jQuery-imposed structural dependency since most of what you're doing with jQuery is manipulating the DOM with some sugar.
I didn't personally downvote you, but I'll give you my best guesses:

1) The percentage of die used for decoding is actually already quite low. Per Anandtech 2014, it was at 10% for x86 and decreasing:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8776/arm-challinging-intel-in-...

Since there is a floor to the number of transistors needed for decoding, there might not be a whole lot to gain there.

2) Progress has already been made towards updating instruction sets to reflect what CPUs do quickly, well etc. It started with MMX back in the stone age, and has progressed through a plethora of SIMD and media acceleration instructions.

3) Instruction sets are already not designed as if they were supposed to be run directly. Quite to the contrary, they are abstracted -- the instruction set is the API, and the microoperations are the instructions. Designing them as if they were to run directly would mean exposing the micro-ops, which would require backwards compatibility breaking changes to the CPU each generation when there were changes to the micro ops.

4) The current system already pretty well levels energy consumption between competing ISAs. See: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/188396-the-final-isa-show...

You're describing something that sounds like a bytecode VM, but in essence, that's what modern processors already are. Unfortunately, x86 (at least 32 bit) assembly is pretty unpleasant as an 'API', but ARM and PowerPC are both pretty good.

As far as pointer tagging, that's something that's probably mostly limited by memory bandwidth (it's not a particularly compute heavy thing to do), so unless the HW support came in the form of a dedicated on-chip cache, it probably wouldn't get you very much ... and then, if you're going to the expense of adding a dedicated on-chip cache, it's probably going to be more effective as a general purpose cache -- if the code is accessing the pointer metadata often, it will be in cache, and therefore accelerated.

Not trying to rain on your parade, I like seeing creative ideas, and I have no idea why people are downvoting you. Have an upvote on me :).

EDIT: Also, ARM has NEON.
This inevitably leads to increasing unemployment. Retraining/educating for higher-paying jobs becomes a losing game as the number of such jobs doesn't increase to match the enormous pressure of obsolete menial workers.

Its not a problem that can't be solved. We used to dream of a utopian society where automation saved us from menial work. Now we cry Unemployment! and struggle to keep everybody slaving away.
Well, in my example, it seems like the manufacturer hasn't just moved onto an abstractly nicer formulation, but in the process they've left some FUD that the previous version might be problematic (for some subgroup).
"combined with weight and some other factors of diet, lead to an expression as diabetes"

I guess I agree with you, then.

Some studies indicate that weight loss is great for fighting diabetes :
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs13340-013-0107-1

Conclusion

Six-month obesity treatment of obese type 2 diabetic patients led to significant weight loss and the amelioration of glycemic factors. For obese type 2 diabetes, more than 3 % weight reduction is needed to improve glycemic control, and more than 15 % weight reduction and, in addition, short duration of obesity and diabetes (3.5 ± 2.5 years), are required to normalize glucose tolerance.

Some one who is "pre-diabetic" is well advised to eat right, work out and lose weight. That is their responsibility.

Check out ProgrammerGirl's censored post below for another study.

Don't be offended by advocating for personal responsibility in fighting this disease.

"read-only constants". This is a crazy thing to say and people are believing this.
By "tracking", do you mean being able to check remotely where your pet currently is, or simply record its current location to some kind of storage, and being able to review that once you have physical access to the device? I.e. are you concerned about your pet getting lost, or do you just want to know where it has been?

If it's about remotely checking, then you will need some kind of communication, which is most likely going to be cell phone related (i.e. GSM, UMTS, LTS...). A GPS device does not send anything to the satellites, it merely (as a simplified explanation) receives time codes from multiple satellites and triangulates the current position from that.

If you only want to record, then GPS alone would be fine, obviously. Though there is "Assisted GPS" that makes use of cell phone technology to increase the accuracy/decreases the triangulation time. However, I do not know whether that can be leveraged from standalone GPS modules.
You seem to believe that governments exist to grant permissions to citizens as they go about their lives. I sincerely hope you are never in a position of power.
I think the hardest thing for the American political system to grasp about our medical system is that spending more money is not the answer. We already spend 16% of GDP, about double what almost all other countries spend on health care and have worse outcomes.

I'm glad that there's some new thinking going on here that may lead to some movement. Unfortunately, all the incentives are aligned such that everyone who is making a ton of money off the system lobbies to make even more.
> That stuff (checking hashes, etc) is currently mostly theatre because, as you say, a nation-state can easily serve you different hashes to check.

This is why as well as serving those hashes over HTTPS, you sign the hashes with a key, the public part of which is distributed/retrievable/verifiable via some other means.
If you've had type 2 diabetes for more than 30 years, you may well be on insulin by now. Also, blaming big pharma for making people pay for insulin makes no sense. You can argue that they're charging too much, certainly, or that government should step in to pay for it. But arguing that they shouldn't make a profit? That's like blaming farmers for making a profit from farming. We all need food to live, but it's not their job to give me free food.
I always found it bizarre that Python let you do both single and double quotes. It really goes against the whole "only one way" thing.
I was a member of a very large public sector health plan that was extremely aggressive about negotiations, to the point that for awhile any maintenance medication had to be shipped from Canada. They get good prices, but not that good -- iirc my blood pressure medication total cost was 10-15% less than the shitty small business HMO that I had previously.

Generally speaking, the US government demands most favored pricing and gets it. No way we would pay more than France.

Europe does better because they have the ability to prevent sale of a drug and the drug company can just raise the price in the US. If the US gets in the game, I would expect European prices to spike, especially in smaller countries.
My own prediction is that in terms of personal computing, the hardware will start to fade into the background, along with the OS. AI will take over consumer mindshare. Windows, iOS, and Android will give way to Cortana, Siri, whatever Google comes up with, and Amazon's Alexa. Probably something similar from Facebook as well. The consistent user experience with any of them will be available everywhere. It won't be important to carry a particular device, the hardware around you will recognize you. I already catch myself trying to ask Alexa for something in my car. I'm sure Amazon will make that a reality sooner rather than later.
But, what has science got to do with it? None of the "experiments" can be reproduced.
so misinformed ...

what about a 5yo kid who just got diagnosed with diabetes type 1 ?

also did you know that when you take insulin, it is the insulin that have the tendency to make you overweight ?

Correlation does not imply causation, go educate yourself about diabetes.

I think reading information using Tor should never be disableable. Adding an option to disable it is encouraging people to remove the freedom for people to read texts anonymously. How is that a feature? It's an even more serious issue than censorship, because it's attempting to force people who use Tor into ignorance.

As for writing to the site (POST), the option should be labeled "censor users in oppressed regimes". That might give it enough emotional weighting.

iMessage is definitely "backdoor-friendly" due to how the CA server works. In past court cases (e.g. [1]) Apple has said they do not have the capability to wiretap iMessage and they have refused to create it, and the government has backed off. Maybe in part because in those cases there were active iCloud backups which provided messages in near-enough-to-realtime that the government wasn't in a good position to force Apple to hand over access to the backdoor. Or maybe because the targets of those particular investigations weren't unsympathetic enough. This case is the one the government has been "waiting for" to push the envelope and see if they can force Apple to provide a backdoor against their will.

The government does not need a warrant to gain access to your information, easily evidenced by mass surveillance of the world for the past 15 years. If they really want something you have, they will just take it mobster style and tell you to go fuck yourself. They don't have to charge you with a crime, they can charge your property with a crime and force you to deal with a kafkaesque process where your property is guilty until proven innocent by the people who issued the very order to seize it. Information + Encryption is one of the only things regular people have that is resistant to this process.

They do need a warrant for any information to not get laughed out a US court though. This is the main reason they are going after the data this way, because they want what they found and know wouldn't survive discovery to eventually be admissible as legally obtained evidence. That and it will set a nice precedent for them to deputize private persons and corporation into being law enforcement when they just can't be asked to not fuck up one simple thing.

This is also not-coincidently a case likely to polarize people against Apple with the old faithful terrorists are coming to get you rhetoric. A most slippery slope indeed, nearly guaranteeing that everyone who is supposed to be checking the executive branch for overreach will just go along with them wholesale.

Yes they can. And that's how it should be in my opinion. Every time a company is demanded to hand over documents or information about an investigation, that is what happened. A company was ordered to do involuntary work. And it's fine as long as we make sure to keep the warrants in check and not rubber stamped.

Drawing the line at software is arbitrary and does a disservice. It's that same narrow minded view of software (as being somehow different than the physical world) that leads to idiotic things like treating email inboxes different than physical inboxes.
I designed two sets of games. The first set was thrown out because I assumed I had access to our current licenses, like Joe Montana, and I didn't. The only game that made it from the first set was my favorite, and still is, "Ready, Aim Tomatoes!". Named by the always amazing Haven Carter in marketing. The original designers from ToeJam & Earl did that game. They took a basic concept from me and blew it up into something that was great fun.

Question: what is your end-of-life plan in the event of acquisition or business shut down?
did you read the article about the patent and how insulin been discovered ?

here some quotes

"Insulin's Canadian discoverers sold the patent to their university for $1, stating that profit was not their goal."

"Discoverers Didn't Intend Insulin to Become a Profitable Monopoly"

so yeah I blame big pharma

they took over a cheap patent, made some modification and abused the patent system on a non-curable illness that affect more and more people

and when the profit is not enough, they raise the price

what's your arguments again ?

that they are entitled to makea profit ?

when they did not discovered or produced the original patent ?

are you saying that seriously ?

God I hate those moral high ground stances seeping everywhere in HN comments.

You think it's more civilized, I think it's barbaric to forcefully take something from someone. Just like that, you made it that much harder for me to take anything from what you've written.

> (...) second, most people are uneducated about diabetes, they think it concern only fat people or other countries, and other BS like that (...)

And the NYTimes article you linked immediately after starts by saying "The prevalence of diabetes has been rising in rich countries for several decades, largely driven by increases in the rate of obesity."

Are they totally clueless?

>finally, why it is disgusting and criminal for pharma corp to make ppl pay for insulin ? it as simple as that: if you don't take insulin you die, period.

Well, gee, it sure sounds like food, water, vitamins, or a bunch of other stuff that are sold for profit everywhere.

>It's not curable, there is no alternative diet, nothing, zilch, nada

Except that type 2 (the one that is the rise, by your linked article) is preventable. There is a high correlation between type 2 diabetes and sugar intake.
