If you are getting funding, then you will certainly need a separate LLC. The agency will have many deals and contracts with people you have worked with, and the investors will want these to be separate from the actual product they are funding.

But it might be wise to wait until the funding is almost-confirmed before starting with this. The investors may also have specific requirements on where and how the LLC is registered, and you may need to do it over again if you do something else right now.
I watched a Video interview by Robert Scoble with the Meta CEO and they talked to a developer who actually used this as a monitor replacement to write code. Pretty interesting, but i still doubt the resolution is enough to really replace monitors yet, but the premise is very interesting. From what i understand their implementation looks similar to an effect called "Pepper's Ghost" just in a mobile form. I have seen this done using smartphones and some plexiglass but in a static form.

That works if and only if the best individual choice is also the best group choice. This isn't always true, see the Prisoners' Dilemma.

For example, perhaps society benefits when you tax the wealthy to help the poor. But given the choice, the wealthy will move to where their taxes are lower, so that plan works poorly if you let individual states pick and choose.

Or perhaps society benefits when you don't tax the wealthy to help the poor, and make the poor pull themselves up by their bootstraps. But the poor will move to a state with more aid, again defeating the plan.

Obviously there are differences between the states right now, so this isn't a total obstacle. But it really only works to the extent that there is a lack of mobility between the states (people tend to want to stay where they are), or on issues where it doesn't matter.

The programmable hose timers are very easy to use. They are essentially a "programmable thermostat that's really pretty effective" that controls the flow of water. In order to move water somewhere without leaks I use hoses without holes and hand tighten any connections.

Why aren't there any traces of exponentially growing all-consuming machine civilizations anywhere?

I'm a fan of the zoo hypothesis. Everything else is just sufficiently "hidden" from observation currently. I mean, if you had a planet full of humans, would you want to talk to them?

The zoo hypothesis seems to breaks down into two underlying reasons for non-contact though: captivity vs. captivating. Either it's a star-trek like "non-interference" thing keeping us isolated for future self-directed development/destruction — or — we are just so frigging boring/hostile/dumb it isn't even interesting to consider engaging us.

(those two reasons do assume intent and purpose on the all-consuming machine civilizations, which we have zero priors for. are there clusters of grey goo out there mindlessly absorbing galaxies as they travel? are there megamind clusters trying to do... something? is this all just a simulation? will the real slim shady please stand up?)

Eh, I don't mind click bait titles as long as the article delivers, and the title isn't too egregious in its manipulation. In this case, I think it's pretty well understood by most that the title is poking fun, since taking it truthfully is fairly ridiculous.
I definitely understand, I'm not saying pirating is good. I'm especially not saying "Once you hit a certain level of success, you should pirate!" Just suggesting that due to this incident the creators made quite a few sales.

I think pirating is wrong and I pay for my software/music.

Edit: Whoa! You're one of the creators. Congrats on getting this kind of exposure. It's unfortunate it has to be because wealthy people don't pay for your product. :(
I think this person misses a key point here. She does not have a "Cyber Stalker" - She has a Stalker ... No matter the medium of the majority of these incidents if materially affects her life in several ways and more and more as our world blurs from the real world to a digital reality these things are really one in the same and should be treated as such.

I say this not to say that she is wrong but to help raise all of our personal awarenesses and biases to this type of situation.

The term "Cyber Stalker" tends to make it seem less threatening or serious when in reality it can be just as dangerous and possibly even more so to the person on the wrong end of this.

I hope she gets this remedied in the near future, but I also hope she and maybe others reading this will realize how closely that line is walked and how we should start considering it the same crime as our data and our digital footprint becomes more an integral part of our lives.
I had an almost identical experience with my ODE class. This is exactly when I started hating math, and moved out of computer science (which was part of the math department at the university I was at).

It took me a long time to return to learning higher maths, this time on my own according to the needs of my job, which is far less an ideal environment than University.

If ODE contains "a few basic concepts that they will remember for the rest of their lives" I never learned it, and I wonder what those concepts would be.
I think this thread is a bit pie in the sky and a bit of "just for fun" impracticality, but I do think one of the bigger octo drones, carefully piloted, could pull it off.

This. Using setup.py for specifying min versions (and occasionally max versions) is definitely the way to go.

However, manually maintaining a requirements file in addition to setup.py is quite tedious in the long run. It is much better to freeze requirements during the build process and use the generated requirements file for deployments. But, decent test coverage is key here.
Alcohol is by far the greatest cause of addiction, addiction-related violence, and economic misery due to substance abuse.

I don't think it's been established that alcohol causes alcoholism. In fact, research shows that excessive drinking does not correlate with alcoholism[0]. A much stronger predictor of alcoholism is SES. So if we really want to fight alcoholism, we should be fighting poverty.

The government is made up of people who respond to incentives. The war on drugs is happening because American voters will crucify politicians who are "soft on drugs". Since the politicians can't be "soft on drugs", neither can the appointed bureaucrats that answer to them.
> Once a dealer decides to sell things that come with heavy jail time then they dont give a fuck what they are selling. They are just in it for the $$$

They just don't care for the penalty (jail time) so they will sell anything for money, there's nothing we can do about it. This thinking is precisely what I'm criticizing, this one folded way to analyze the problem.

Let's take LSD vs Nbomb example once again. Making LSD is extremely hard specially because how hard is to find the ingredients. Nbomb is a piece of cake. Here's an example which there's nothing to do with addiction or punishment, it's just the plain practicality of dealing with the substances.

Maybe there's a way to set up an environment where the law breakers would still do it while causing less harm on society. That's the discussion I'm missing, how we coerce the bad guys to not be so bad.

I think popular attitudes have changed significantly, particularly with respect to Cannabis. I think we're at a point where more than 50% of Americans will want to see weed legalized, or at the very least decriminalized. When Bernie Sanders said the war on drugs was a failure, there was hardly any comment, and not much public outcry at all. I don't think it's a controversial statement anymore.

Indeed, Rota's approach to teaching seems to mirror the application of mathematics in general...

He acknowledges that concepts have prerequisites, and that certain topics are misleading or dead ends. You might even call the act of building a pedagogical scope and sequence for a topic graph traversal!

I wish I could have taken one of his classes. I wonder if there are other mathemetician/philosophers out there who have taken the problem of teaching as seriously as the math itself.

A Profile of the Average Startup Job Seeker – Infographic
It was. Especially since it means they’ll be throwing €10-30m down the drain over the next few years with this strategy. I expect the CTO to be long gone before they realise that. In general, in BigCo, the more people you have under you in the org. chart, the more power you wield. It's ridiculous though.

In defence of the CEO, in most cases, more people means faster and/or better production. He was extremely capable (I was impressed, he really knew his stuff), and he knew what he wanted to achieve when it came to the company’s digital presence. With proper BigCo resources, not all that hard to achieve I think.

Second, it also probably had to do with the fact that the CTO was just unable to agree with me. It’s a family business (I’m friends with someone of the family), and if he agreed with what I said, he would’ve basically been admitting he couldn’t do the job. So in that regard he probably thought I was posing a significant risk to his continued employment. The CEO was someone of the family + a significant shareholder.
I was impressed that the footage was from iPhone pressed against the headset to get that video. I wonder if some of the jumpiness or supposed tracking is due to handling the headset/iPhone, and maybe some scan rate 'moire' patterns or other artifacts due to a video-of-a-video?

Pinto (https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Pinto/lib/Pinto/Manual...) nails this problem in the Perl ecosystem:

Pinto has two primary goals. First, Pinto seeks to address the problem of instability in the CPAN mirrors. Distribution archives are constantly added and removed from the CPAN, so if you use it to build a system or application, you may not get the same result twice. Second, Pinto seeks to encourage developers to use the CPAN toolchain for building, testing, and dependency management of their own local software, even if they never plan to release it to the CPAN.

Pinto accomplishes these goals by providing tools for creating and managing your own custom repositories of distribution archives. These repositories can contain any distribution archives you like, and can be used with the standard CPAN toolchain. The tools also support various operations that enable you to deal with common problems that arise during the development process.
The graph does need to fit into GPU ram. We use graph partitioning for multi-node, Multi-GPU configurations.

Dijkstra's algorithm which, as mentioned by Davidson et al. [1], is a "sequential algorithm [that] is poorly suited for parallel architectures like GPUs that require large numbers of parallel threads for efficient execution."

Instead, we have variants of the algebraic formulation of the Bellman-Ford algorithm as given in Kepner and Gilbert's book [2].

To attract great engineers, show them these interesting problems that you're trying to solve. Talk about it publicly. Start an engineering blog. Network at tech events.

You're right in that a startup represents risk - what else can you offer in place of that risk? More money? More time? More freedom? More opportunity? You'll have to figure out what ticks with the developers you're trying to attract.

> At some point it lowers out of SSA, but you have to do that at some point anyway.

libfirm never goes out of SSA (since it uses a graph-based representation it's simply impossible: the data dependency edges need one target). It converts the programm to CSSA and assigns the same register to all phi operands. When finally emitting the program, phi nodes emit nothing.
The panic when calling close on a closed channel is a bit annoying. Recently I've been using x/net/context to signal goroutines instead of closing a channel. The CancelContext allows you to call cancel multiple times.
It's an appropriate job. Schmidt has always had a more "traditional" relationship to and attitude about government programs in general, long before government surveillance became a hot topic. Sun was a big supplier to the DoD. Schmidt is, despite his occasional odd outbursts of context-free candor, one of the smartest people in the tech industry, and will certainly be one of the people most in tune with what's technically possible and what's reasonable to implement to serve on that board.

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

There are stops (outside transit centres) where the bus will wait for the scheduled time, called "timing stops". There tend to be maybe 5 or 6 of them on a given cross-city route, but there's no public information about where they are. It's pretty easy to figure them out, though.

Note that at non-timing stops they don't even wait if they're five minutes ahead of schedule most of the time.

Super Bowl 50 According to Twitter
I do know about Skype, Google Hangouts, and videoconferencing tools like Webex, GotoMeeting, etc. And have used enterprise videoconferencing tools in companies where I worked earlier, and Skype and Google Hangouts. But there are issues with both of the latter at times (e.g the recent thread about Skype issues on Linux), hence my question, which was more about other (new) ones, and only for voice and video chat, not screen sharing or text chat (which work fine with many providers), really.

But thanks for the answer. I've tried out a few of the new WebRTC sites like appear.in and some others, but they seem to be alpha level. Not tried them a lot though.

Has anyone tried Firefox Hello, which was mentioned in the recent thread about Skype issues on Linux? Is it alive? Going to try it with someone soon, if it is alive, but interested in hearing others' experiences.
1QBit | Software Developer | Vancouver, BC | Full-time | Onsite | C++/Python (potentially more in the future)

1QBit is the world’s first quantum software company, and one of the select few organizations, alongside Google, NASA and Lockheed Martin, with access to the world’s only commercially available quantum hardware, the D-Wave 2X. Over the past three years the company has developed algorithms and tools to solve high-value optimization problems for Fortune 100 companies in finance, energy, life sciences, and a range of other industries. This year, 1QBit was recognized as a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum (http://www.techvibes.com/blog/1qbit-world-economic-forum-tec...), and represented Canada, along with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in Davos at the WEF annual meeting this past January (https://medium.com/singularity-university-blog/the-theme-of-...).

At the core, 1QBit’s development team is building software that organizations and individuals will be able to use to develop Quantum-Ready™ applications, without having to understand the complexities of quantum hardware. Our library is written in C++ for performance, and wrapped with SWIG to provide an elegant Python interface. The next phase of our roadmap includes a limited public release, building new algorithms, binary polynomials and solvers to share with organizations working on NP-hard optimization problems.

This is a unique opportunity to work with a diverse range of algorithms, and to collaborate with a strong team of researchers creating new theoretical techniques that you will help build into some of the first real world applications for quantum computers.

I would argue that the information in "requirements-to-freeze.txt" could simply be expressed in the "install_requires" list in setup.py. That is, the "general" dependencies (with only vague version information) should be in setup.py, whereas requirements.txt should pin the exact "guaranteed to work" versions. For small/non-commerical projects, requirements.txt may not even be necessary.
