There's a difference between need and want. People want iPhones, but they don't need them, so they can decide themselves whether working more is worth it.

On the other hand, people need food. The only choice is work or die, which isn't really a choice. There is an infinitely large jump between extremely cheap food and free food (and energy/shelter). As food gets cheaper, wages decrease as well, so you still need to work about as long to survive. When/if food becomes free, people won't need to work any longer.

Malnutrition, abysmal living standards, etc certainly have not been "swiftly solved" or obliterated. These are battles we are still facing today, even in Western societies.
I think the whole point of the research is to see whether it's worth it to try not to be an underperforming one vs just taking the index returns. Obviously if you restrict your set to the ones outperforming then the index looks bad but you don't know who these are going to be.

(I know your point was also about size and the risk of distorting the market but I think you added in an unnecessary caveat there.)
I own a developer kit (DK2) Rift and AFAIK all games mirror what the wearer is seeing onto the primary monitor. Which is good for sharing an individual's experience, but doesn't do much for group experiences.

I'm pretty excited for more asymmetrical games and experiences along the lines of http://www.keeptalkinggame.com/ (which is hilariously fun). I don't own a WiiU, but I've heard it has some pretty good asymmetrical examples as well.
Thankfully both became great tech hubs, so you can easily avoid them.
Before fig, Docker build repositories often have awkward arguments to build or run a container, and that's where I first saw people using a Makefile as basically a bash script file. I copied it and since then I've used it like 100 times since, it feels a lot more easier than the above bash script approach, though for reasons I can't quite put into words right now.

It also turns out that dependencies creep up pretty often, so shortly after we started abusing the Makefile, we also started using it "right" too.

Examples:

Among other things (books spring to mind), the web was quite a paradigm shift well before it constituted an experience you'd quite want to share with anybody (heavily text driven sites that loaded at a snail's pace). Yet unfettered access to an intoxicating amount of information in one's home was a potent/addictive experience. Likewise, if the VR experience of "presence" is successful at giving people exciting/intoxicating new experiences at home, it won't have trouble catching on and making a cultural impact.

Besides,here are a lot of ways to "share" an experience - playing an intense game of VR ping pong with a friend across the country sounds like an addictive shared experience to me. I don't imagine that it's lost on Facebook/Valve/all of the gaming companies that multi-player gaming will be a huge hook for VR's adoption. And many of the VR movies are shorts that are bite sized enough to pass back and forth and bask in an experience with a small group, albeit not simultaneously.

I think the main problem is workers lacked choice due to access to alternative means of employment due to land enclosure laws.

Had they been able to choose between say farming and working 12 hour shifts in bad conditions they would have looked at the risk/reward. As it was the choice was work or starve. Wages are therefore set at subsistence levels rather than at the floor set by the alternative.

Land enclosure created unemployment. Employers were not bidding against one another to secure workers, they were in a dutch auction with labourers to "save them".

Similarly today due to very high land prices we cannot work selectively (unless you earn a lot). Were land prices to be suppressed I think we would see people choose to work less which would put pressure on employers who would have to hand over to workers a greater share of the value they produce.
Due to CVE-2015-3197, many servers using OpenSSL reported they supported no SSLv2 ciphers, which causes OpenSSL-based SSLv2 clients to hang up. However, if you aggressively choose a cipher and continue the handshake, the server will still negotiate the connection. As a result, most existing scanning tools vastly underestimate SSLv2 support.
It gave a handwavy argument that risk for the endowments was higher, but no numbers.
SSLv2 and SSLv3 are dropped at compile time in Jessie.

> I don't like wearing glasses or anything else on my head. I don't think that will change.

As you get older, you will likely develop presbyopia, and, at some point, get comfortable with glasses.

And for the 30-40% (in Europe+USA [1]) of people who (unlike you) are already near-sighted and are thus already wearing glasses anyway (unless they have contact lenses), VR glasses shouldn't be a problem.

The Times uses periods for initialisms (where you say each letter individually) but not for acronyms (where you say the word the initials spell).

That said, I think the Times style looks terrible in most typefaces, and that such extraneous punctuation should just be eliminated. Ms Jones, a CPA who worked at the FBI in the 90s, agrees with me.
A Few Facts About #OpTrump2016
The big problem with that strategy is that it's a really bad time to buy an expensive video card.

Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of nVidia has stated that the next generation of video cards will be 10x as fast as current cards.[1] That's probably an extremely cherry picked example, but it is obvious that the next generation will be a lot faster. All of the following are lining up:

- 28nm -> 14/16nm node jump allows twice the transistors in the same space. For video cards, that basically means double the performance.

- 28nm -> 14/16nm promises a 65% increase in transistor switching speeds

- 28nm -> 14/16nm promises a 70% decrease in power consumption. The very high end cards are currently power-limited, and many are limited by cooling.

- HBM2 memory promises a 3x increase in memory throughput

- Vulkan / DX12 promise to reduce CPU bottlenecks, this is the first generation to be explicitly optimized for Vulkan & DX12.

- This generation of video cards is the first to receive explicit optimizations for VR

- Both AMD & nVidia are promising significant architectural improvements.

Both AMD & nVidia are aiming for summer releases so that they solidly nail the August/September buying season.

Waiting a few months will also give a chance for the reviews to roll in. Early indications are that the Vive is the one to buy, but that's early. Things can change quickly as games come out, and nobody's had a really good look at the PSVR, AFAICT.

If I had a proper video card, I'd be jumping in now on the Vive. But I don't, so I'm going to wait, as painful as that is.

Regarding the "how did these guys raise so much money?" thing. I'm afraid this is mostly just a sampling bias - one that I've experienced as well.

Here's why: the people who forever can't find good talented engineers are usually the bad companies with bad ideas. Getting capital from MBA-educated VC's isn't that challenging or any significant validation of success (although still a notable one).

So you are more likely to come across a large number of the crazy ones who can't find engineers/designers during your recruiting phase coming from out of town.

Once you build a network you will start to be invited to work for good startups and smart people. Good companies recruit via networks until they reach scale.
You can buy a MHL adapter and a Bluetooth keyboard for $lessmoney, if you are looking to hook an Android phone, though it won't have that laptop form factor. I've done that, and the Android interface doesn't translate well. There's a reason all their screenshots show Windows 10, because there's actual specific accommodations for that in the operating system.

I'm not saying this to be down on their project; I think it's neat. You can run other things on an Android phone, so I am nitpicking.

"In the only cases in which the masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you’re talking about, the only cases in recorded history, are where they have had capitalism and largely free trade.

From the article:
"For the third time in a year, a major Internet security vulnerability has resulted from the way cryptography was weakened by U.S. government policies that restricted exporting strong cryptography until the late 1990s."

The bearing of this on the ongoing "backdoor" and "just one device" discussions is critical. This is direct evidence of real harm done by weakening encryption.
I think it's a little bit more complicated than that, and depends on how SSLv2 was disabled.

From the OpenSSL 1.0.2f release notes:

SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers

A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

So if you disabled all SSLv2 ciphers, but didn't actually disable SSLv2 itself, you could still complete a SSLv2 handshake.
If your server software disables SSLv2 via SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2, then you're fine. This seems to be the case for (at least) nginx, based on how I read the code.

I think the main difference between the moderate supporters of free market vs. moderate supporters of socialistic approach (who are not pure libertarians or pure socialists) is the question of the default.

"Socialist" would say: "It looks like all-around outcome might be better if this thing is regulated or restricted - so let's do that".

Free market supported would say "let's not mess with people's freedom unless it is clear that not intervening in this particular instance is overwhelmingly harmful".

For what is worth, I think many people favoring state intervention have a hard time making distinction between "I don't like this thing" and "this thing should be forbidden or restricted".

And that's capitalism for you, kids.

Not being from the USA and seeign the place this human being is in, it hurt me reading that justification.

Goddamm, that is what state is for! You have been fed all that capitalist bullshit for so long that don't see that another way of living is possible?

Are people waiting for private companies to help them in moments of need? That's what a welfare state is for. Just look at Europe, for all the jokes about french-strikes, taxes, corruption and whatelse we are not as fucked as this.

if Smart.js contains a new kind of JavaScript runtime for embedded devices, that might be interesting to put more into focus (and compare e.g. with Tessel or Espruino projects).

But then you have lost the default target of make and instead of make && make install you end up with make build && make install. That's going to break a brain or two when people try to figure out why their default MO doesn't work.
The top of the endowments for that year surely outperform index funds on a year to year basis, but the volatility of those returns, in addition to the illiquidity of some assets in determining their value to any investor. My guess is if you aren't able to invest with a 50 year time frame, and/or don't want massive swings in asset values, the index funds start to look good.

Index fund are a market basket of funds. The Index 500 fund is stock in the 500 largest companies in the US. It's intent is to give you the average across all those companies.

Lets look another way. If you are a golfer, the "average" score for a golf round is called PAR. Ask the regular golfer what would they do to be able to play par rounds all the time, most would sell you a beloved grand parent. The index funds are a way to play / invest in the market and get "average" returns.

The leverage that Vanguard has is that these index funds are pretty easy to manage, so they don't charge a lot of fees. Presently on the Index 500 fund, it's 17 basis points. So not much of your capital or your profit is going back to Vanguard. On the other side the big investment places are taking fees anywhere from 2 to 10 times what Vanguard gets. That can make a big difference in your annual rate of return.

Vanguard also has the advantage that in some cases Fund XYZ will be selling a stock while Fund ABC is buying a stock. So it ends up being an in-house purchase, so there is no brokerage fee, lower cost to both funds.

Mutual funds, and specifically index based mutual funds are a good way to get average results across a long period of time. Sure run wild some with that Gold Fund investment and those Oil funds, but be prepared for the downside)

The "mysteriously" qualifier seems to be sarcasm by the part of the original submitter on reddit. He seems to be implying that, by being a former Google employee, this person is getting a pass or using inside information to skirt around the system.

Quoting from the post:

> Here is proof SongFlip was released by someone who used to work for Google:

> His Linkedin and Google+ Profiles list prior employment by Google: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertdo and https://plus.google.com/+RobertDo/about

> He mentions he created SongFlip here: http://www.meetup.com/The-Brooklyn-iPhone-and-iPad-Developer...

> His Twitter shows extensive SongFlip testing: https://twitter.com/robertdo

> His company "Hype Reactor, Inc.": http://www.bizapedia.com/ca/HYPE-REACTOR-INC.html

> The "Hype Reactor, Inc." developer account shows SongFlip was uploaded to it before being removed: https://www.appannie.com/apps/ios/publisher/hype-reactor-inc...

The conclusion of his post seems to be in line with that:

> My question is why is Google allowing SongFlip to break so many rules? Could it be the case that the SongFlip creator, who is a former Google employee, is using contacts within Google to prevent it from being taken down despite so many violations? We can only speculate...

> By mysteriously allowing it to continue breaking rules and violate intellectual property and ignoring all reports against the app, Google has allowed it to quickly become the #16 Overall app in the USA, which means it is making over $30,000 per day in ad revenue and is as popular as Spotify (#14 Overall app).

Back in the early nineties I worked on a couple of projects that used wxWidgets (it was still called wxWindows then) to target MS Windows and Motif on Unix. I'm amazed to learn that it is still around and being used.

"The Board tasked me with making changes to serve the next generation and ensure our impact in the future,"

I would suspect if this is not political correct wording for "let's make money".
Of course they were brought to poverty. They were obsoleted by technology.

The link you provide proves my point readily:

> Since population was increasing in Great Britain at the same time that landowners were enclosing common village lands, people from the countryside flocked to the towns and the new factories to get work.

At the time, Europe's population was increasing 300% per century, whereas in prior eras the population increase was around 3% per century.

Why was the population increasing so rapidly? Because capitalism was enabling the disenfranchised poor to survive for the first time. Obtaining household goods was becoming less of a struggle, people were living beyond the age of 40, and famine was no longer a daily reality for most.

The societal changes that occurred due to the industrial revolution were significant and immediate; of course there were issues dealing with this change. It was the most potent moment of change the modern world has ever seen - a culmination of the ideology of the Renaissance paired with the technology of the times.
"There's a sense in which all taxes are antagonistic to free enterprise – and yet we need taxes. ...So the question is, which are the least bad taxes? In my opinion the least bad tax is the property tax on the unimproved value of land, the Henry George argument of many, many years ago."

-Milton Friedman

This is the root of the problem.
I expect you already understand this, but to be clear: the risk appears to be that even one forgotten old server (or service) running SSLv2 can put your up to date, highly secure servers at risk (if you've shared keys between them).

To my eye, the way you've phrased it here could be read to imply "any server with SSLv2 disabled is safe". The linked report says this is incorrect, and its inaccuracy is responsible for roughly half of the vulnerabilities that they have observed.
