Adding to your list: "they released the newest OS for my old iPhone for free in order to slow it down and make me buy a new iPhone".

It's not limited to Apple, but the pattern is the same: it goes immediately from conjecture to absolute certainty of malicious intent (but they didn't count on the speaker being clever enough to see through the scam). And if disproved, it's just the exception that proves the rule, which the speaker then has to loudly reassert.

We need a new rule: Never ascribe to malice what's adequately explained by others having different priorities than you.
I'm not sure how it's meant to work, but muting doesn't seem to work properly for me at all, which is really annoying because the huge amount of stuff I've muted in the past is the only reason my timeline is ever remotely usable.

But recently, crap app of the day pops up, a few people share it, I ask them to hide all from that app, and I see it again the next day or so. The cynic in me thinks they might be doing some kind of test to see how long they actually need to hide something before it can be dropped back into the timeline, instead of just hiding it like I asked.
It's probably possible for PC sales to decline while PCs remain dominant in computing. If so, Intel probably doesn't need to restructure; they just need to get smaller.
I've been wondering about that for a while now. In Europe (The Netherlands for me), it seems like paying with NFC is a lot faster than paying with regular 'chip and pin' where the card needs to stay in the reader for ~5 seconds after entering the PIN. Since both use the EMV protocol and the same chip (just contact vs. contactless), I'm not sure why the contact method is so much slower.
I'm very aware of it. :)

Do you mind if I email you?
My card now has pay wave (contactless), chip (and pin when required), and magnetic stripe.

It's a crapshoot which one will work at any given store. I do prefer the chip over swiping due to having to replace cards so often when the stripe wears out.

Contactless is listed at a lot of places, but it doesn't work consistently for some reason. Makes it hard to trust using it when the store is busy.
I get that the market for this likely isn't very large, so higher priced, but the pricing personally just feels out of line compared to other similar developer tools.

The only companies that could afford to use this are the cash pumped start-ups, who have the talent and luxury where they could likely roll something similar from scratch. There's no way small independent projects or open source apps could afford this.

I'd love to implement this in the work we do for clients. But we do so many apps for different clients that it would be a non starter. Looks cool, but couldn't see the cost working ever.
> I did a search and found out that everybody is recommending "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham.

This book is too advanced for beginner level. As a beginner, you most probably will not like this book and reading it might turn you off investing and stock market (too complex).

The type of books you want are the ones that cover basics and are easy to read. Instead of considering books recommended by others, I will suggest going to a physical book store (library is another option), pick up any investing book on the shelf, read for 15-20 minutes. If you like what you are reading or book fascinates you and you want to continue reading the book, buy (check out) the book and take it home.

If you are a visual learner, I heard Khan Academy videos are good. Also, consider reading biographies of famous investors and financiers and other story-telling type of investing related books. As I am not visual learner, I can't make any specific recommendations.

If you prefer numbers, I will suggest reading "Millionaire Next Door", "A Random Walk Down Wall Street", and "What Works on Wall Street". The first one is not per se investing book but more of an "encouragement" book that will help you continue learning about saving and investing.

> What's your story?

I learnt stock market as "substitute" for gambling. When I first started out working professionally, some newbies (like me) at work will go out to casinos or have booze and gambling Thursday nights (alternate Friday off from work). A few of these people were hardcore gamblers: studying and learning tips and tricks of blackjack, poker etc. Monday lunch at work cafeteria used to be "whining" session, how we lost so much money and odds are against us, etc.

During one such whining session, an older member at work mentioned that on his Friday off, he goes to library to read Wall Street Journal, Value Line to research stocks and check value of his stocks like checking lottery numbers in newspaper (pre-Internet days). He got his "gambling" adrenaline through stock market and how odds of winning are much better than going to casino. This was the start of my interest in stock market and learning more about trading and investing and saving. I went to library on my Friday off to read and check out any investing and trading book on the shelf. I most probably read 30+ different books in a few months period at the start. Investing and trading is the only hobby that has kept me interested over the years.

Instead of using the same tax rate as a year ago, when it had an effective
tax rate of 25.5%, this quarter the tax rate was down 7.1% to just 18.4%.
Had INTC used the historical tax rate, it would have, surprise, missed.

Worse, INTC just cut its outlook, predicting revenue of $13.5 billion,
plus or minus $500 million, for the Q2, about $700MM below consensus estimates.

The US is filled with very large companies ("too big to fail", etc.). Outside of tech, every one of them is scared shitless at the thought of doing anything different (especially the banking industry), even if it has a proven record of making things better. It takes something very bad to light a fire under their asses and get them moving.

What problem are you talking about? The fact that a large company that makes a majority of its revenue from a declining market is cutting its workforce is not indicative of anything at a macro scale.
Hey now I like turtlenecks, even if she was going for a 'Steve Jobs, only pretty' image.
Absolutely this. I'm so sick of all the damn prompts when using a card.

Donate?! WTF, go away. I want to swipe and go, damnit. I didn't come to your establishment to take part in your charity drive.

Debit? Credit? WTF, can't you tell?!

Is this the correct amount? Shit, I don't know. Did the computer add correctly? Is this a bartering interface, where I get to say "NO", and make a counteroffer? No? Then why the hell are you asking me when I don't have a real alternative choice to make?

My personal supreme pet peeve is going to a gas pump, pressing the credit button at the pump (which has both credit and debit buttons), then being asked if the credit card I just swiped is in fact a debit card.
This is what the end of Moore's Law looks like.

* Tick-tock is dead.

* 10 nm is severely delayed.

* EUV is severely delayed.

* Significant layoffs in R&D

* The ITRS roadmap is vaguer than it's ever been.

* Giant mergers are up (Intel+Altera, KLA+Lam, etc.), concentrating the industry more than ever.

* And ultimately: A 5-year-old PC still works just fine.

When I say this is the end of Moore's Law, I'm not trying to be dogmatic. Of course there will still be a semiconductor industry and of course there will still be amazing technological progress. But it seems the rate of that progress is slowing, and now the industry is adjusting.

Yeah right, let's blame Europe for yet another US bubble. The last 2 crisis were entirely US made.

Cisco provides Internet Protocol services, not what is being done with them. If Electricity from France is exported through Russia to China, can they be held responsible too? And what about the oxygen produced by the US flowers? Are US farmers responsible for providing oxygen supplying the evil Communist regime with oxygen? That electricity was as crucial to conducting the dreadful things just like IP, and just like oxygen.
This logic has no bounds.
But it could just as easily be argued that a highly political environment which necessitates such behaviors leads to poor morale, quality employees leaving etc. etc. which couldn't be good for the company long term...

That's exactly it. The same performance isn't (that much) cheaper, and it's actually difficult to find any sort of high performance laptop (for cheep).

Plus, the last few laptops I've purchased all seem to die JUST after the warranties (extended or otherwise) expire.

Are they finally at least putting 1080p+ screens on these as a standard thing, or is everyone still stick on that crummy 1366x768 regression?
Why you should disable autofill
Am I the only person for whom the answer to this question is "almost none?"

I'm serious: about 80% of my day is meeting with real people in the real world. Mobile phones haven't changed that.

The other 20% of my day is sitting at my desk creating original work product (mathematical models and thoughtful memoranda) or reviewing the work product of others. Mobile phones haven't changed that, either.

No doubt the drought in PC sales is real and permanent. But I wonder how much of that is because people just don't need to keep their laptops up to date in the age of great cloud services.
Not yet, at least.
Batteries have a variety of uses on the grid. If you're clever enough to use them for several of these at the same time, it makes it easier to pay their way:

They are different things, Gold is Money.... bitcoin and the dollar are currencies. One will always have value, the other represent value and if people lose faith in them their value will become zero which already has happened in the history of humankind hundreds of times. The only difference with bitcoin is that as far as I know its not corruptible unlike other currencies which the maker of the currency always end up creating more than they are supposed to.
No, bad front-end development is breaking the internet. I've been adblocking in one or the other form for more than a decade and in almost every web-project I've joined I broke it on my first day by pointing my browser to it.

Reason number 1: Do essential stuff in the callback of a successful ad- or tracking-load. Surprisingly most of the time overeager developers were to blame - management usually did not have objections to fixes even though they understood they'd lose tracking capabilities and ad-revenue.
There's already insane amounts of crap apps in the Apple app store.

What Apple should build is robust quality app discovery, filtering out the crap.

What I'm seeing at the moment (seven years after the launch of the app store ) is a software architecture that appears to rely on the app store submission process being a guarantee of quality. What a joke...

I know about bandwidth issues, but you can also use big vector sizes to mitigate, more opportunities for simple schemes for realtime (de)compression of data. (Usually called packing/unpacking).

But where you can work around bandwidth issues, you can get up to twice as much work done.

I've also been looking for such a chip to test my code. Of course it's possible to use SDE. https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-software-dev...
Intel Skylake, included in the new MacBook, supports "partial" hardware acceleration for VP9: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9483/intel-skylake-review-6700...

Intel's next generation, Kaby Lake, should have full support. Most new mobile SoCs already support VP9, IIRC.
BuildKite is really nice, they also support pipelining and are acting as glue between CI and Github.

I can't answer your question about GitLab since I haven't used your product. A plus for us was also that they are willing to support Gogs if we need it.
The chip is a copy-protection mechanism. This means you can't do a man in the middle attack (in your words 'steal he swipe') because the chip on the card has challenge-response protocol to authenticate. Even if you somehow steal a single response, next time the challenge will be different.

That is not to say it is impossible to get the secret inside of the chip, but it is hard, often requiring partial disassembly, some sort of side-channel and you will often destroy the card in the process.
The "not invented here" principle strikes again.
Less than 5%. My phone stays in my pocket most of the time, even when I'm nowhere near any other device, and everyone else around me is heads down in theirs.
Ok I see your point. I am curious how that would happen though - essentially you'll need to bind the txn to a different transaction from the one intended and the whole thing locks up.

I am curious how to guarantee eager evaluation - dorun, doall and run! are all sequence-oriented right?
All snark aside, isn't Uber the highest-valued startup in the world? Sure, that's thriving.

Two years ago the GitHub Student Developer Pack gave me $100, which I have been using to maintain a tiny droplet (literally changed my life, thank you). Last month Digital Ocean sent me this message:

We’re truly sorry if this came as a surprise.
As of March 2015, we revised our Terms of Service
announcing that we’re no longer able to offer credits
that do not expire, and any unused credit added to your
account more than 12 months ago will expire.

I still have over $80 of credit left, expiring this month. I understand why they are doing this, but it left a bad taste because of the small values involved, retroactive action and lack of communication (I didn't get this March 2015 email or any reminders since).

This also creates a perverse incentive to burn the credits in a blaze of glory. I'm restraining myself, but I can only image the headache this will create across all users.
Most Apple devices don't have VP9 capable hardware decoders. Even those that could do it (new Intels) do not have such capability enabled or exposed in OS X.
Uber is a many points to many points system..... Amazon's same day fleet is a one point to many points system, so they have different capabilities.
They really want you to use the debit card portion of your card. I believe it involves the retailer paying lower fees. It's why every terminal is trying to funnel us into it, and doesn't have an obvious way to choose credit half the time.
Thanks, I am happy to accept PRs that expose more functionality.
I've found Terminal to be perfectly adequate. Back in the 10.2 days I had to use X11 and an xterm since the transparency thing was murder on my GPU, but ever since Terminal with very few tweaks has been great.

Considering it's built in, it's light-years ahead of the junk that Windows calls a shell window.
My Target credit card has chip+pin (in USA)

Yes, it requires a pin number.

Though chip+pin does nothing for online fraud so I don't get it.
I asked a friend who worked at Intel and he said part of it has to do with the company's hiring and organizational structure. The basic gist is that people are brought onto teams that only exist long enough to fulfill their initial objective. While some teams are dedicated to long-lived consumer product lines, others might focus on R&D or custom B2B orders. Once a team has fulfilled its responsibilities within the larger company, it is likely to be dissolved and there's no guarantee for room in other teams for the leftover employees.

That's how I understood it, at least. If anyone more familiar with Intel's inner-workings thinks I'm off-base, please feel free to correct me.
That's their business model - people are their product. That's how they make money. That's the only way they make money. They sell people to advertisers. What's not wrong with that?

ZeroMQ and its descendants will outlive us all. Pieter, you should be proud to have achieved so much.
I definitely agree with you, but I didn't feel the point of the article is entirely on point, because of a very simple reason.

You ordered food before Spoonrocket while Uber greatly improved an industry ripe for disruption: isn't that the point of startups anyway? While you are completely right, your point is not about "Uber for X" startups not working out, but ALL startups that are somewhat missing the right place in their markets...isn't it?
Why? The POWER->x86 jump was made largely because of the need to have more performance from the chips (raw power) and better performance per watt (for laptops). Intel wooed Apple on what they had available at the time as well as the impressive roadmap of where the they going. I often get 10 hours of battery life on my Macbook pro, so they did something right!

I totally think Apple will go to ARM, but I can't see Apple doing shift until OS X is getting similar performance on ARM over x86. When Job introduced the x86 switch, he said they had had an internal version of OS X running x86 since day 1. I'm sure they have a version on ARM as well right now, and are just waiting for them to get "good enough". Apple's marketing on recent iOS devices has been also very interesting. Lots of use of the phrase "Desktop Class". Also, the GeekBench scores, and AnandTech teardowns support the hype: Apple's ARM chips truly are best-in-class and rapidly approaching mainstream x86 performance.
Yeah, mobile hasn't figured out a good way to take over the workspace. Some of the tablet/laptop hybrids are getting closer.

As for entertainment though, are you watching Youtube extensively on your desktop?
So Intel has had decades to become more than a PC parts manufacturer (albeit largest one ever).

The issue is creating compelling reasons for buying a new PC. Intel/Microsoft have not been very successful at promoting those sales-drivers.
You can blame it on the end of Moore's law, or you can blame it on mobile computing. (The two are not unrelated.) But it is fundamental.
^ To add to this I'd lay say the over-valuation(s) are a side-effect of our monetary policy being in never-ending "stimulus" mode.

On Intel I think the "everything is going mobile" is PR for investors, the PC market doesn't have any foreseeable growth potential atm.
So... the original homesteader builds a house somewhere.

Other houses are built nearby. It's a quiet neighborhood.

I buy the original homesteader house and open my heavy metal venue? And that's ok? I bet the neighbors won't be happy.

I get the concept of "you chose to build your house next to a heavy metal venue and they were there first, so you can put a sock in it", but it's kind of incomplete.
>Comparing highly paid software engineers to kids working in sweatshops is ridiculous at best, insulting at worst.

Yes because money is what determines the ethics and attitude that companies and managers have towards employees.

>Again, should I complain about the penalty I would inevitable receive from such companies for not showing up at 9am?

No because that is a written rule that conforms to labor laws that you have agreed to, before you joined.
Not staying back after work because I have life outside of work is neither.
OTP means Online Transaction Processing. It's a fancy name for "no caching, no data warehouse, we do everything live."
Did you even read the article? Cisco (allegedly) built custom software to persecute a religion.
What is peer-to-peer message encryption?
Interesting take. I didn't see this as a put down of any potential client but more to say it is difficult to grow so quickly. Imagine the load on game servers if you grew to 125 million users over a weekend, this load is considerably different than that of an authentication server.
