Smartphones are all about ecosystems, and as the various Microsoft efforts there have shown, Apple and Google now have that locked up. However they don't do the x86/Windows ecosystems in phone space and not Apple in tablet space, and now no one will find out how much demand there was for x86 Windows smart phones.
>>This is something congress really shouldn't be doing.

Then who should? Should we simple give the military a Trillion Dollar a year blank check and say "go forth and spend it however you want"

the F35 is a terrible plane and should have been scraped a long time ago, the A10 is proven plane...

the Airforce has never liked the A10, it is not fast enough or shiney enough for them...

I think the better plan is to bring back the USAAF and let the army start doing close air support again with more than just Helicopters...

They are better at it anyway..

A lot depends on your definition of "simple" and whether you equate external details like environment and even profession to internal state of your mind. A lot people lead very creative inner lives that are not revealed by their outward life, and I personally think creativity is a major contributor to happiness.
Most SPAs feel substantially slower IME.

The users didn't demand this. They were perfectly happy when you delivered a website that performed a full-round trip in 50ms a decade ago containing more data than your average SPA can handle before choking on it.

The users want it to work. They want it to be fast. They want it to be pretty. That's about it.

I'm tired of hearing about why GMail succeeded. It's revisionist. GMail succeeded because they had the best spam filtering, in a simple design, and you were probably using Google search anyways. Plus Hotmail was always going down for hours (days?) at a time.

I've never experienced bugs in the web like I have with SPAs. I'm very thankful that even if my budgeting software is built in Ember, making it slow and buggy, my bank's site isn't. Making it predictable, and very fast to render. Time to Render is atrocious on many "modern" sites.

The "they employ many people" is a purple cod.

You know what a huge percentage of the population does? Participates in the economy, helping other people earn economic rewards, economic rewards that are taxed. That it is advantageous for some people to employ others is not any different in that respect than the fact that people buy goods and services.

In regards to scraping SO answers, I don't see the problem. In a classic search engine, the title of the page is listed, with an excerpt of the text on the page immediately below it.

In DDG, IIRC, the SO instant answers display the exact same information, but just format it better. Same with the wikibooks answers (those are the only instant answers I can remember triggering recently). What's wrong with that?

Almost. The discussion at the congressional level should be over what sort of capabilities the military needs and can be justified. So the pentagon can bring a mission and budget to congress and ask them to approve that mission and the budget for it. This is different quite than an unrestrained lump sum.
Microsoft always gives the vibe of a company that is desperate to salvage some pride from its glory days. It was once a giant, but now they're on the brink of redundancy, in terms of being viewed as "innovative".

This opinion may be controversial to many, but it is what a lot of people are thinking. They experiment, which is phenomenal. But none of those experiments have been a major hit.

Apple has flagship products like the iPhone, etc. Google has search, Android, and even Youtube at the center of its existence. A fallback option, if you please.

Mircosoft "somewhat" has Windows, but hasn't really nailed it yet. These "experiments" will not bring back the glory days.

> I like instant answers, but the DDG guys need to learn how to play nicely in this space.

They are only following on the industry standard for this feature. Google, Bing, Yahoo all do this already. DDG adding this feature (but offering to let people correct the entries and open-sourcing the answers) is just achieving feature parity, not diving into new territory.
Umm, that is exactly what they are going

They are bring forth the mission to decommission the A10, congress is saying no....
This is just about signalling. You negotiate a package to signal your value, and the severance signals your value to the next company that will hire you. As a counterpoint, if she offered to run yahoo for free, there is no way they would have offered her the position.
Having an .so in your app doesn't mean the majority of work in your app is NDK work.
And it's often limited to just one or two team members while the rest are working on the java side of the app.
You also don't need the NDK at all to include an .so in your app. You only need the NDK to build the .so.
When it comes to regular android java work (which is the fair share of android development, as google obviously knows from anonymous statistics) - Android Studio takes eclipse hands down.

As for the google rant, I'm not a google employee, but I think their work has been amazing. Are there improvements I'd like to see? of course. But I've never understood how easy it is for people to trash talk the work of others given an anonymous nickname online.
Edit: Wasn't just a matter of not enough elements, but that the software couldn't handle the geometric configuration of the tri-cell. And that the computed values were extrapolated from the simulation, compounding the flaws in the simulation.

Seems like this could be avoided by automatically adding more elements and rerunning simulation, measure the gradient of the solution as the number of elements change. Exactly the kind of thing a computer should catch. And exactly the kind of thing having alternative analysis should prevent.

* used an unverified model
* trusted software, didn't double check results
* low safety margin
* incomplete risk model, lack of project wide oversight
> At the time Intel had already introduced some mobile silicon, but there was little uptake. So they were iterating; they wanted to improve for each succeeding generation. But they had a kind of design-by-committee process. One person or group wanted a certain feature, another group wanted something else, a third group though that yet another thing was important. And so on. Sorry if that sounds vague, I won't write anything more specific.

> The end result was a chipset that had a lot of features. A LOT OF FEATURES. Gold plated features. But that meant higher power consumption than the competition, higher cost, larger form factor, longer time to market.

I have some experience in this field, and this sounds utterly bizarre. Most of the customers are fairly selective in what bits they want, so provided everything (including the kitchen sink) in a product is useless.

Being able to comfortably ship any variant of your SoC without certain parts is important.
This is excellent response. All this 'Greater calling' by most people at top of corporate ladder is bullshit. They have orders of magnitude more time and money to talk about issues irrelevant to business. This way they can ensure tragic/glorious profiles by hacks about their life and times.

There's enough blame to go around, and ultimately the most to blame was the board. However, Microsoft did play a big role in trying to convince Nokia to get their former VP as their CEO, which was their long con into getting Nokia to adopt Windows Phone, because Microsoft thought a company such as Nokia could surely turn WP's fortunes around.

But yes, Nokia itself was most to blame for its failure to "pee in its pants" and adopt Android when it still had 2x Samsung's market share in phones.

Glasswire is also interesting. Way smoother looking interface than any of the other stuff I've seen & there is a paid edition as well so they clearly put time into it.

There was no EU regulation because the manufacturers fell in line when the EU threatened them with much stricter rules than what they "asked" them to adopt.
Any time you have operating systems running in a test of this kind, you're dealing with the same thing, a difference in work done the longer the test runs.
This. The OP's particular numbers are -obviously- meaningless without including further context.

If one person had all the money, literally, all the money, and paid any amount on it, be it one cent, or half of the money (either way leaving them with trillions, and everyone else still able to earn nothing), they'd be paying 100% of the taxes. This is an absurd hypothetical, but it demonstrates that the percentage of taxes paid by a particular group tells you nothing by itself.

Yes, but what happens to his salary if he stops performing individually? Does he get a huge bonus if he blows his ACL? Does he get a huge bonus if the team loses in the first round?

Since 1962, and especially since 1982, the USA tax system has relentlessly reduced the taxes that the rich have to pay. The point is, if you change the tax system, so that all the money goes to the rich, then even with the lower taxes, the rich will end up paying a lot of what taxes are collected, because they have all the money. And that is basically what is happened. But now the rich like to claim "Hey, we are paying 70% of all the taxes!" But of course, their share of all wealth has expanded dramatically, so even with lower taxes, they still end up paying quite a bit.

But of course, all of these taxes are voluntary. They could voluntarily give up their wealth, and donate all of it to charity, and then they would be poor, and they would not have to pay taxes. That they choose not to do this suggests that they mind the taxes less than they would mind being poor.

IBM Bluemix: cloud platform accelerates innovation on both sides of the firewall
... this of course ignores paradigm shifts like the cloud, where I'm sure AWS and company are eating the lunch of various enterprise categories, storage for one

HN has its own distortion bubble here. It takes a long (decades) time for new technology / best practices to penetrate into large organizations in stable, established markets.

But I think two things are changing that. One: upstream vendor migration to cloud / more modern solutions (e.g. Salesforce). Which decreases in-house footprint. Two: younger talent that's more familiar with modern ways of doing things (working with AWS, cattle services on commodity boxes, etc).

I think one of the greatest failures of enterprise companies is that they've historically done a terrible job at making their hardware / software available to students. Which means no reasonably-priced supply of knowledgeable potential employees.

And if the TCO of a mainframe / COBOL solution includes scouring the globe for the one remaining person who knows how to work on it and then paying them a premium to do so...? Well, that'll get enterprise (still slowly) moving.

In my company, it's very rare that we'll have a need that's so specific that we could actually know the salary within $10k before we hire.

It's far more common that we have openings for "Software Engineers", and we end up hiring one very junior, one very senior engineer, and some folks in between. Thus, from the same ad, compensation could range from $90k w/1,000 shares to $280k w/20,000 shares. And, frankly, saying "salary is typically between $75k and $300k" isn't useful information.

How our comp actually works is that at some point in the interview process, you tell us how much you're hoping to make, and then we set the bar appropriately. If you want $250k, the bar will be very high. If you want $100k, it will be substantially lower.

There is no reason to be "disappointed" by it.
I'd say more like a 50% user base.

I'm going on a limb here, but nowadays, 60% of macbooks (mainly the pro) are used for software development and 30% for creative work (video and editing). While something like half of those professional applications would be fine with the 9X, the other half would be left hanging for a better machine.

However, if they want to make the switch in the near future, I think that the new MacBook will first be released with an ARM processor. This way they won't alienate their core market and they will have a testing ground. Then, I'd predict two or three generations until the pros catch up.

They have the money, if they want to change to ARM it won't be Carbon stopping them.

So it is arbitrary definition you are making

I fail to see how that is different than simply coming to congress with "We protect America now give us a trillion dollars of stolen money you pried from the citizens and do not dare ask us how we will spend it"

I think every damn screw the military buys should be heavily scrutinized by someone outside the military, maybe congress is not the right venue but the idea that the military should just be allowed to spend money however they see fit is moronic on a level I can not even comprehend

The military, above all other federal agencies, have proven they can not be trusted with the money they are given, they have simpley "lost" (literally unaccounted for) more money than most agencies have for their entire budget.

We also get people coming along every few years who argue that because there are some people not using STEP we should start again from scratch. They are very enthusiastic for a while until they realize how much work is involved and they give up, having wasted a fair bit of time in standards meetings.

I think there is scope for some disruption from small companies willing to use STEP as the internal data model for their software but just working on small parts of the picture.
Wouldn't that preliminary budget, issued by Congress, be considered meddling? Is it akin to software development managers with the sheerest excuses for domain expertise accepting whatever budget and mandate is handed down from managers with zero domain expertise, and then they set about browbeating anyone and everyone they can lay their hands on to meet the hazy objectives?

This direction of development sounds to me like the reverse of what would really meet the mission objectives when the problem space is so controversial/undefined: find out from the users/stakeholders/beneficiaries what non-negotiables they must have and will not give up without a huge fight, what they lack from the current solution, and what their annoyances-but-will-put-up-with-it issues are today, what evolutions they anticipate in several future timeframes, then with their buy-in build up implementation scenarios with accompanying budgets. But I'm just an outsider with no domain expertise, so all I have are questions. From what I hear as a civilian, armed forces procurement with these big stakes rarely take into account all but the most basic survival needs of the grunts on the front lines, and is more akin to enterprise software procurement than SaaS-with-a-credit-card procurement to fix a point need (CAS in this case, and I might even be wrong characterizing CAS as a well-defined point need).

Can someone with direct military procurement experience chime in and illuminate from their perspective what is going on for the civilians in this particular case?

"You pay more taxes because somebody else pays less" is fundamentally misleading. If the government had to balance its income and expenses, then yes, one person paying less taxes would imply somebody else had to pay more taxes.

But that is not how it works. Not for a government that can borrow at practically zero cost.

The reality is that when somebody else doesn't pay their taxes, it has no bearing on how much you pay. It just causes the treasury to issue incrementally more bonds.

This may seem like a minor point, but it's important in understanding what taxes are really for in a country that issues its own reserve currency: they support the value of the currency by ensuring everybody needs to use it to pay their taxes.

Putting my highly pessimistic privacy hat on, this gives (and has the potential to give) Facebook a lot more information than a web browser would:

* The ability to serve ads without being blocked by a browser based ad-blocker.

* The ability to use its own web view to open web pages and have more tracking of the user's activities.

* Read through all the browser histories and caches that exist on the system to get a good picture of what the user does online.

* Read email files (if not encrypted) on the system to get more information about who the user corresponds with, subjects, etc.

* Read the entire filesystem and probably upload interesting looking file metadata on to their servers for analysis.

* Read what other applications are in use, at what times, for how long they retain focus, etc., building a (somewhat) complete profile of how the user spends time while one of the FB apps is not in focus.

* Get to know all the locations the user uses the computer at and also get more information about the networks (wired or wireless) that the user uses.

* Is a key logger possible with an application on Windows 10???

* Perhaps many more things I've missed...

The above points are slightly similar to what the smartphone apps already have (although the privileges vary across smartphone OSes and versions - not everything applies to all of them).

It would seem strange for anyone who cares about privacy but needs to use Facebook (yes, that sounds like an oxymoron) to use an official app from a privacy breaking company instead of a browser with extensions to thwart tracking and to block ads.

In the interest of all of humankind, I can only hope these apps get neglected by the users, get abandoned and die a quick death!

P.S.: All the points above apply to any program you run on your computer, but these points become more disturbing when it's related to a company like Facebook.

The EU has always been working to make borders in EU irrelevant for people's freedom. Considering the importance of smartphones these days, being effectively cut off from facebook may be one of the most directly felt downsides with leaving your country.
