I'm as bad at those kind of picks as the next person. I wasted time and money figuring that out, though.

The only time I buy in is when the market overreacts to some bit of bad news or something and I see the undervaluation. Of a strong, established company.
Just so you don't feel so alone, I am also still running a 2009 mbp with a matte screen. :)

Seriously thinking it may finally be the year I upgrade -- I will miss the matte screen though.
If you were asking if you should adopt it as a drop in replacement for your current emulator: "This project is much younger than it's predecessors I would assume it is less developed."

If you were asking why it should be displayed on this forum: "This project shows a high level of technical competency and I believe that is why we as a community are showing it support."
HPC interconnects: InfiniBand versus Intel Omni-Path

Sometimes it's for Java/Javascript interop or access to the large variety of libs in those languages, but other possible reasons you might pick Clojure instead of another Lisp are:

1. immutable by default
2. strong focus on concurrency/parallelism
3. well-thought-out design of core library (one of the most cohesive I've ever seen)
4. largest single Lisp community (just going by GitHub, Clojure has ~18k repos, CL has 10k, Racket has 5.5k, Scheme has 7.5k)
5. unified syntactic sugar for common data structures like maps/arrays

The above are just factors that distinguish it from other Lisp-based languages. If you're coming from Java/C/C++/Ruby/Python/PHP/etc, there's way more reasons than that.
>Unless these folks had degrees in Working At Intel, losing a job is not the same as becoming permanently unemployable.

A 50 year old Intel employee might find it quite difficult to get a new job any time soon. Not to mention that where they live they'll have some other thousands ex-colleagues recently fired looking for similar type of jobs.

We're talking about thousands of people -- few of them will be highly sought after chip gurus. In fact obviously it's the less sought after ones that will be let go.

Add a recent mortgage, medical issue or kid at college and here goes their pension savings (or worse). Have the same layoff happen to their spouses near the same time (which it's not that rare), and they're pretty much screwed.

Really, it's as if people have no real world experience with these things...

Can you explain why the Goldman and MS stocks didn't drop? Overvalued means the stock prices should drop.
Their methodology is bad. The most effective CPCs are the ones that do not look like ads, therefore, are not representing accurately what a person is clicking on. A better approach would be to compare the different designs that LOOK LIKE ADS, and test which one is most effective.

The above statement confirms that choice in creative can have a tremendous impact. Each of their "myths" can be adjusted using effective creative.
Love what you guys are doing and would love to chat sometime, Trent! hello@painless1099 will do it if you're interested!
Intel screwed up and didn't become a major player in the mobile market. They could have, because they are still the world's best chip maker, but they didn't. The mobile market is experiencing the most growth and also the shortest product lifetimes. I still get a new phone every 1-2 years because the upgrades are worth it, but my laptop needs upgrades less often, and my desktop less often than that. Mobile phone processors today are where desktop processors were a decade and a half ago in terms of growth potential.
How well does it work on grayscale images?

>Bubble

Four companies don't represent the market. Come on. I swear some users here will wish will wish bubbles out of the air to gripe about.
In the sense of VR/4K the CPU is way less important than the GPU and we still have some headroom on those even with existing process, what will be interesting is when everyone else's process catches up with where Intel is now, they've generally stayed out in front of everyone else for a long time (except AMD for a spell).

I'm really looking forwards to VR if it catches on though, having an insanely high resolution headset so I can dump multiple monitors for programming is a big win, combine that with something that has the portability/form factor of a MS Book/Macbook Pro and you'd be able to program as capably from a hotel room as at your desk at home/work.

That would be the biggest shift in my work habits since I went from Windows to Linux in the late 90's.

Also I think once everyone can get down to the same size as intel we might start seeing more exotic architectures, Intel has often won with the "with enough thrust a brick will fly" approach to engineering, it doesn't matter if your chip is clock for clock more efficient if Intel is operating at a level where they can put 5 times as many transistors down in the same unit area and ramp the clock speed way up.
Great Barrier Reef: 93% of reefs hit by coral bleaching
Yes. One guiding principle of the regulations seems to be that they have to produce a bike that looks `normal' on TV.
Yes, and Intel has been trying. Remember, there once was a time when Intel did not make CPUs at all. Intel has remade itself several times, and pretty much each time it required retrenchment and refocus. Intel has been trying for a long time to get wins in the mobile space, without much luck. High gross margin per wafer and high volume is a rare combination, and a difficult act to repeat.

An interesting aspect of Intel culture is how it reacts to body blows, urgently seeking a path out of the darkness along many different paths simultaneously. Remember the legend of "operation crush" -- the sales force was tasked with getting 1000 design wins for the 8088, from whatever place they could find them. Some guy in Florida found a renegade group in Boca Raton working on a skunkworks project called the "PC". Meh, it didn't sound like much, but hey, only 999 more design wins left to go, eh? Bag the order and get on the road again... whoever that guy was, I sure hope he made his quota that quarter.
You should start a new index, called the 3 index, that just looks at 3 companies. That should be enough to gauge the market, right?

While that might be a nice long term view, it isn't fun to go through the entire process for the average person, heck it's not even pleasant for many of the "1%ers".

If a lot of companies suddenly go bust that are today supposedly getting in the way of innovation, it might be good for long term innovation, but in the short term, say 10-15 years it can really be hell. Not to mention that in this 10-15 year period while the economy is hemorrhaging it makes the entire economic ecosystem very vulnerable, and significantly reduces its capacity to deal with external attacks.

That is while US companies may start failing, who's to say that a foreign company won't take its place. Then you have to start taking isolationistic measures, which is a whole other mess.

The ideal scenario would be to see these companies slowly, over a period of decades fade out, and be replaced by others, which I honestly don't see happening as of yet in SV, but things like this generally do come out of the left field.

So if we see these companies shrink rapidly, with no one else to take the mantle, I honestly think it would be a dangerous situation as it can be a catalyst for something bigger.
I remember being surprised the first time I read it, but maybe some context will help.

> Amatuer hour

Many developers would love to build a shitty first app and throw it on the app store to proclaim to the world: look I made it on the app store. This runs directly contrary to what consumers' expectations are for apps. Apple knows their consumers and therefore erected this wall to help them.

> Think about the children

I really don't see how this is bad. Apple has always been anti-porn and they're going to continue trying to tread the moral high ground. That's fine if you think this affects your free will, but really it doesn't -- Apple is just one platform.

> Run to the press

They are looking to review an app and will make a judgment they deem appropriate. Since that is their right, they mean to nip the problem in the bud so you don't think you can get public opinion to sway their judgment.

> close to big brother speak as I have seen

I find big brother speak in my US govt that worries me a lot more than Apple protecting their app store. Oh and on that note, isn't it Apple that is standing up to the US govt?

> where I cannot install my own software without purchasing Apple laptops. Seriously? This is progress?

> ... not to get into walled gardens where someone else controls what my children can see and do

These are your beliefs, which I'm sorry to say does not reflect the general public. The general public finds it easy to use Apple for everything. So when you ask them "Is this progress?" The resounding answer is "yes"

I find your diatribe to be greatly exaggerated and do not believe this is the sign of something evil. I think it's just your personal opinion validating why you'll never own an Apple in your life. Good for you. Me and probably the rest of the average consumers do indeed like it that Apple looks out for children + does not permit shitty apps on the app store.

I don't believe there is a difference. Once you allow a tyrant to dictate the terms without reproach, you will inevitably be giving up your rights, which is a plunge into the chasm of inevitable repression.

Thanks for the feedback! FWIW, with Painless, your money is always accessible to you as it's in an FDIC Insured savings account. If (heaven forbid) we're not around in the long term, your cash is insured up to $250,000 and your new savings account is in a well-established financial institution at Lincoln Savings Bank. Really what we've done is use existing infrastructure to automate transfers that you'd be making manually, whether between two accounts in your existing institution or two accounts at separate ones.
So adapt or die? Sounds like nature to me....

So do we as a species just give up on every one else because they are incapable of adapting? With that line of thinking we will never be better then the animals that only react to their environment and don't really plan for the future.(save the few specific cases due to evolutionary pressure)

My dad was career military. My ex husband was career military. I have other relatives who work for the federal government or were in a branch of the military. I also worked for a really big company at one time.

So I have always been careful to some degree, about some subjects. But I have some idea how they gauge such things, so I am able to make relatively informed decisions about what things I should avoid saying or word carefully. I highly recommend you work on that angle of it.

When they came for the Jews,

I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

There has always been injustice in the world. There shall always be injustice in the world. There will always be things you cannot or should not say in public. The American right to free speech does not protect the right to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater. But the solution here is not silence. The solution is to carefully think through what you believe and work hard to express yourself well and carefully in a nuanced way.

The world will never be 100% safe for anyone. But it is better when people from not stand idly by and just let it get worse to cover their own ass. Pick your battles and all that, but work on the piece you have some control over.

None of that is intended to be preachy or moralize. It is intended to address the concerns you have expressed. I have gone through periods where trying to express myself online got enough negative reactions that I felt it was a threatening situation. I intentionally lowered my profile and worked on learning how to do my piece of it better. I feel more comfortable and safe online now than I did then.

So, I am not dismissing your concerns nor unsympathetic. I am just a pragmatist. I like having practical steps I can work on in the here and now. I like trying to give the same to other people. I am aware that sometimes rubs people the wrong way who merely wanted sympathy. But sometimes it doesn't.

Best.
I haven't tried this yet, I've just looked at the examples in the docs. However, I think this could be pretty cool.

I think the combination of the Perl influences with the possibility (which I'm interested in, but haven't proven yet) of using this with Tclkit (a statically linked version of Tcl that can just be copied over for deployment) might make this a nice cross platform replacement for the kind of things I might otherwise want to do in Awk.

Tcl itself is also certainly a good cross platform Awk replacement, but heavy regex stuff seems like it might be a bit more concise with this syntax than in Tcl itself.
We still need more CPU in the cloud. There's an almost unlimited appetite; and we still often look for optimizations to our program that reduce CPU load. (At least at Google. Not sure how much I am allowed to say in more detail, though..)
The DJIA only has 30 which is always surprising to me (to its credit it tracks with the S&P 500 pretty well).

Correct, and all of the app developers and users are agreeing to the contract.

This has absolutely zero bearing on the establishment upholding the conditions of those contracts. Especially with said contract's arbitrary, vague and opaque, enforcement.

You heard it hear first. App Stores are an antitrust violation waiting to happen.

Yes. Look at Android and Windows Phone.
Right, they are obviously bad for the people losing their jobs and for the society. But are they bad for Intel? I think that was his point.
> It's actually a very meaningful date to a lot of people on this planet

As galdosdi surmised, it's not about whether you're not a believer, it's about that 1 AD isn't believed to be the date for Jesus's birth. At some point historians & theologians realized the calendar was incorrect, and so they had a choice: keep the reference point everyone was familiar with, even if that date is no longer significant, or switch to a better estimate for Jesus's birth, keeping the calendar significant. People decided that commonly known was more important than significant, and so we're left with a BC / AD split, where the reference point is longer meaningful.

Worst case scenario: nothing. The R&D goes away. Look at aerospace for a nightmare scenario.

In the early 20th century we got fixed wing flight.

In the teens and 20s we got motorized fighters and the first passenger planes.

In the 40s we got jets.

In the 50s we broke the sound barrier and orbited Sputnik.

In the 60s we landed on the Moon.

In the 70s we... stopped going to the Moon.

In the 80s nothing much happened except declassification of a few things (stealth) that were developed in the 60s and 70s.

In the 2000s we grounded the Concorde. Passenger flight got slower and more expensive.

In 2016 we fly on passenger planes no faster than what we used in the 70s and 80s, and we're stuck in low Earth orbit.

1969 was the peak of the aerospace industry. With the exception of SpaceX (which is really just picking up where NASA left off), we are less advanced today than we were in the 1960s.

There's many places we could go beyond conventional Moore's Law: multi-dimensional chips, optical, quantum, exotic materials with very low power consumption, etc. But if what we have is "good enough" and there is little demand for anything faster, the R&D dollars won't be spent. If anything the shift toward mobile computing and wimpy thin client endpoint devices might actually lead to a pull-back and loss of capability similar to the one we saw in aerospace after the 70s.

The consolidation we are seeing is not a good sign. This is what happens when an industry decides it's now a cash cow and it's time to go out to pasture.

We also could have a base on the Moon and Mars right now and be working on our first interstellar probe to Alpha Centauri. Physics didn't stop us. Economics and politics did.
Just in case you didn't know, there is an actual name for it!
