I just sold one of my hairs to myself for $10. Is my head now worth a million?

With Apple, there's intrinsic value to consider. And frankly, if you sold enough Apple stock for it to go down 50%, I'd personally start buying. I doubt that's the case for ETH, where there's only early adopters buying it hoping to strike it rich.
Why steel workers? I find it difficult to imagine that startups would "disrupt" heavy industries like steel production.
I think that higher resolution displays are probably the leading reason behind gamer upgrades today. Pushing 3-4x the pixels is a lot of overhead compared to the decade before UHD. Another reason really is power consumption. There's been a lot of effort to reducing the power envelope in CPUs, this investment would have happened even without a gamer segment.

Servers are probably Intel's single biggest market today, and the companies running these miles of racks of servers are demanding more cores and lower per-core power. That goes in line with mobile improvements too. Intel is a perfectly reasonable cpu option for tablets today, within 3-4 years they'll probably have something suitable for phones.

I've always liked the concept of a phone with everything that you dock into a workstation, or a laptop form factor to use, but as a phone it's still great. There's a lot of possibility there. More than that, with the likes of services that go beyond echo, we may see the watch form factor take over from phones... relying on larger systems in your home/office/car to fill the void. Who knows where things will go.

What I think is interesting is that people thought that a central CPU would be preferable to a mechanical timer with analog logic.

The only parts of cities like that that are actually "designed" are the downtown and a few special developments. The rest just grows as people move and buy land and open businesses.

Most people drive cars, and most people prefer having some room to breathe, and there's no shortage of space, so lots are made big enough to have parking and empty space, etc.

There's not some kind of anti-walking design conspiracy here.
Yeah, easy-pace bike rides are definitely great for thinking.
Linkedin open-sources their distributed object store – Ambry
I recently reimplemented machinery in our compiler which implements C++ exceptions. I figure it might be useful to share a few interesting issues.

The way C++ exceptions are used creates very interesting interactions in the design of their implementation.

There a hidden cost many forget: call frame information restricts what the compiler can do.
Why is this the case? Even if exceptions are super rare, the compiler still needs to make sure the program will obey the language rules if an exception is somehow thrown at an appropriate program point.

The compiler must emit instructions which can be represented by the call frame information in order for the unwind to be able to reason about the stack.

This is usually not a problem on Linux because the DWARF CFI is very expressive. That expressiveness comes at a cost: it is quite inefficient when it comes to size.

Other platforms, Windows NT (ARM, x64 and IPF) and iOS, recognized that this increase in size is a bad state of affairs and thus aimed to make the CFI more compact. By doing this, they greatly reduced the size of CFI but unfortunately created restrictions on what a compiler can do.

As for trickiness inherent in C++ exceptions, C++ supports a fairly esoteric feature: exceptions may be rethrown without being in a try or catch:

void rethrow() {
throw;
}

An easy way to make this sort of thing work would be to thread a secret in/out parameter which represents the exception state.

But how is this typically implemented?

Well, remember, the ethos of exceptions in C++ is that they are rare. Rare enough that implementors are discouraged from optimizing the speed of C++ exceptions.

Instead, thread local storage is typically used to go from any particular thread back to it's context.

Things get pretty darn complicated pretty quickly with features like dynamic exception specifications:

void callee() throw(double) {
throw 0;
}
void caller() {
try {
callee();
} catch (...) {
puts("got here!");
}
}

On first examination, "got here!" should be unreachable because the call to "callee" results in a violation of the exception specification.

However, this is not necessarily the case! What _actually_ happens is that some code runs between the throw and the catch: std::unexpected is called.

Now, std::unexpected might throw an exception of it's own! If this new exception matches the exception specification, the exception would pass into the catch block in "caller". If it doesn't, the exception thrown within std::unexpected might result in another violation!

Wow, this is get complicated... OK, so what happens if it results in another violation? Well, the exception gets cleaned up and replaced with, you guessed it, another exception! We'd be left with an exception of type std::bad_exception leaving std::unexpected and thus "callee". Because the catch clause in "caller" is compatible with std::bad_exception, control is transferred to the catch block.

This is the tip of the iceberg. A huge amount of machinery is sitting around, waiting to engage to make exceptions work.

One of the top comments had a reply that mentioned a site that tracked Google retired products[1], so I figured I would take a look to see what portion of them were out of beta. I suspect it's generally beta projects that get retired. Google tends to keep things in beta a long time, but I think that's a somewhat separate problem. I noticed that a lot of the retired products actually have become successful companies:

- Sidewiki - Seems similar to Genius, as it's becoming, where you can annotate any site.

- Jaiku - Micro-blogging and life-streaming, apparently comparable to twitter, founded a month before Twitter was founded, launched the same month Twitter launched.

- Dodgeball - Like Foursquare. It's founder left to form foursquare.

I'm sure there's more in there.

That's a hypothetical though, I'm guessing. Does The DAO actually use uncancellable payments, and if so, what for?
Skepticism is healthy. It's quite common for mainstream media to distill a study with tons of caveats and situational results to clickbait like "drinking alcohol means you'll live longer". Not to mention we shouldn't draw any conclusions until reading the paper itself because the article says nothing of their methodology. Lastly with things like the replication crisis and other shoddy results, I don't blame people for not being so fast to believe what common sense would tell them otherwise. [0]

Edit, case in point, caveats from the paper itself:

> While the findings of this case control study were equivocal with regard to the crash risk associated with drug use by drivers, these results do not indicate that drug use by drivers is risk-free. The study limitations cited above, together with the findings of numerous other studies using different and complementary methods, need to be carefully considered before more definitive conclusions about drug use and crash risk can be reached.

> The findings of this study notwithstanding, the established body of scientific evidence on the subject of drug impairment indicates that in some situations, drugs other than alcohol can seriously impair driving ability.

Oh, and you really should read articles all the way through:

> So, should we all assume that we're safe to blaze one and go for a joyride whenever the whimsy strikes us? Absolutely not. There's plenty of evidence showing that marijuana use impairs key driving skills. If you get really stoned and then get behind the wheel, you're asking for trouble.

> I would like to see a comparison that doesn't use STL for the exceptions in C++ and then measure that difference.

Even better, how about getting info directly from the binary about how much of the code was inlined from STL headers?

If you compile with debugging info, this info exists already. It's put there so that the debugger knows what source to show you when the code breaks on a particular instruction.

I'm working on a tool right now that would offer this information.

Bill and Buffett are smart enough to know you should keep investments and friendships as two different things.
That's an interesting formulation. It sounds like a sort of uncanny valley of being "valued."

I'm a little wary of the term -- I think it's over deployed as a form of social violence -- but there's no denying that what you're describing happens and is pretty uncomfortable.
in 1993 Exxon was the world's most valuable company with a market cap of roughly $80B. they didn't reappear as the most valuable company again until 2007 with a valuation of roughly $500B. yeah, big swings are still possible even in very established markets.

As a Pittsburgh native, it's been exciting to see the city develop over the past decade.

One of the things that nearly everyone seems to forget about Pittsburgh is that is was once one of the single largest business and manufacturing cities in the country, if not the world. Some of the world's richest men lived and worked in Pittsburgh, including Andrew Carnegie, Andrew Mellon, H. J. Heinz, and George Westinghouse, to name a few. Nikola Tesla spent some time here, as well. Many streets are named after industrialists, which adds a unique flavor.

If anything, Pittsburgh's recent rise is a return to success.
You shouldn't buy into the hype, especially from that hyperbolic story with silly blurbs like "The DAO is a paradigm shift in the very idea of economic organization."

However, I don't think we should be flippantly dismissing the idea with phrases like "magic internet money", because if it proves itself to be minimally viable, it would really speak to a young demographic of investors who don't trust financial institutions or their products.

Granted, this sort of tool is probably very ill suited for running a large corporation, but it might be ideal for Kickstarter-like organizations who want to fund a series of ideas or companies for equity. Some tasks are better suited for experienced professionals, while other tasks are better suited toward the wisdom of the crowds. (Tasks that great benefit from semi-informed polling)

My best guess is this might become a useful tool for a niche investment market.
Presumably any reward would need to be approved by an executive other than just the IT director since clearly they have no policy in place. The IT director would not want his department's incompetence to be known higher up the board.

They did adopt ARM earlier than most and had a license for it that would allow them to even make innovations of the ARM core like many of the current successful chip developers but they were not able to create great comms chips like they were able to do with PC chips.

My first instinct in this case is to agree that the data is public, or at the very least, protected by account login and therefore only legally protected by the OkCupid terms of use. I see no possible legal argument against the methods of data collection, unless OkCupid wants to sue the researcher for breaching terms of use. Or, perhaps, users could sue OkCupid for failing to diligently protect their data.

That said, this was an Academic study, presumably funded at least in part by the University, and therefore subject to approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) [0]. Granted it was not an American university, so perhaps no IRB exists. And it was a small study by a group of graduate students, which seems unlikely to be subject to as much scrutiny as a study officially funded and endorsed by the university. However, this is no excuse for circumventing research ethics. To quote the wiki article, "a key goal of IRBs is to protect human subjects from physical or psychological harm," which implies that moral arguments should hold at least as much weight as legal arguments when considering the potential impact of a study.

It's entirely possible for a study to be legal, but immoral. Since this study came from a university, any moral argument should be as valid as a legal one. The trouble seems to be that nobody heard any argument, moral or legal, before approving the study.

In this case, the failure seems to lie with the Danish University, who allowed its graduate students to conduct a study without consultation from an IRB or any kind of ethical oversight committee.

Interestingly, the data is "public," in the sense that anyone could replicate this study with some Python and OkCupid accounts. So even if researchers are stopped by an IRB from collecting the data, that doesn't mean another entity can't do the exact same study, free from any procedural impediments. So it makes you wonder about the premise of questioning the study in the first place. Perhaps a better use of this soapbox, instead of lambasting the researchers, would be to raise awareness of the fact that what you put onto the Internet is public.

I think the books are balanced. First the startups generate jobs. Next "government intervention" imposes a minimum wage, and startups replace half of work-force with.. technology. Like it just happened recently in the USA with some food chain as I've heard.

Most shared hosts probably have GD present, but as with anything, there are those that do not. As for how high that percentage is I have no idea. Think of your target market and if it's for not-regular-folks (as in more web development focused or so) then probably GD is present as more knowledgeable people choose their hosting service more wisely, or so I'd like to think, but small company website owners, fashion bloggers and what-not probably choose by price, not quality.

The pay as you go service failed because I offered 1000 compressions for free upon account registration and people took advantage of that, more often than not they would simply use their 1000 compresses and sign up a new account with a new email and nobody bought any compressions because well, seeing how quickly people abandoned the use it's likely that they only ever needed to compress less than 1000 images.

This way to even compress any images they need to purchase the plugin. It has no barriers like account creation (which as far as I can tell people don't like to do with plugins, they'd like to install and go). As for how it will work in the longer perspective I've no idea, I've done my best to optimize the API for high number of requests and will most likely release simple addons (paid) to the plugin which will enable GIF compression, compress-while-you-upload feature and whatever else I can think up, but that, too is just a one-time price so once the user has all of those I will not be making any money from them anymore.

So, if you're asking me if $7 for unlimited compressions work in the long run? Well, if I can run it for tens of users with a simple $10 Digital Ocean droplet, sure, why not. The reality however is that I most likely, depending if it will get any traction or not, have to scale up the DO droplet up which will cost me more, increasingly. There are quite a few ways to go about making money with it and I suppose I'll test the waters as I see fit, but even if it makes no money I don't mind much because I use it for all my client' sites and paying a server fee is much, MUCH cheaper than using the competitors (TinyPNG for example).

Intel has some amazing research. I was at an internal fair back in 1999 when I was doing an internship there in the Product Dev group that did the Itanium chipset.

They has this handheld touch screen device that resembled a modern smart phone that was driven by voice recognition. This was 1999 way before the iphone came around.

In my opinion, it is the internal politics and the leadership that has caused them to lose out.

Chip design books in academia were already moving in the direction of low power designs during the late 90s. They just did not take any action.
Apple's P/E has always been low compared to its peers. Even when the iPhone and iPad growth were both very high, I think it has always had a < 20 P/E.

Not bad really.
> Pittsburgh can't be a startup hub due to its extremely poor weather alone. (and that's harder to disrupt!)

That strikes me as an odd line of reasoning. It seems fair to say that Pittsburgh can't surpass the Bay Area for any number of reasons (due in part but not principally to weather), but it seems a stretch to argue that it can't be a startup hub simply due to some mildly cold winters.

London, Boston, NYC, Berlin, Stockholm - none of these places are renowned for their great weather. Neither for that matter is SF proper, with its notoriously shitty summers. Seems to me like talent and money converge for plenty of reasons that don't involve local weather conditions.
