Indeed. Intel's thinking right now (or rather in the past couple of years) seems to be that "hey, we missed the smartphone market, but at least we're early for the IoT market, right?"

Except there are two things wrong with that theory:

1) "IoT" is mainly a new name for something that has already existed - a market that has already been dominated by ARM: the embedded/microcontroller market. ARM has much better expertise in this market, better relationships, and better ecosystem, as well as a full range of products.

2) If Intel's chips weren't competitive in the mobile market (especially when you compare all three metrics of performance, power, and price), then why would they be in the embedded IoT market, which plays even more to ARM's strengths?

There seems to be a lot of startups in the hiring place just now. I got contacted the other day, wanting me to a technical test or interview, but they only offered jobs that I was already aware of. No point in using them if I am not getting any extra value as its just another middleman to pay.
Hiring technical people is one of the hardest problems in technology and you're just going to blithely assume that a software company will do no better at it than a non-technical business with an IT department? Even setting aside the difficulties of screening and interviewing, more top-tier technical workers will prefer to work for a software or SaaS company in SF that pampers its employees than for a paper company in Duluth, Michigan.

I spent a few years in high school doing hardware repairs and eventually ran that arm of the company before leaving for college. While at FSU I realized I couldn't survive on student loans so I started working at a help desk that I ended up managing for two years before quitting to refocus on school and find employment closer to my desired field.

I've spent the last few years developing web and Android apps for class projects and personal learning. I have a few projects on my github ( http://github.com/roninb ). I'm ready to expand and want to be a part of a team that can help me grow.
> But let's not wear rose-tinted glasses about the cloud. It can be great, but for some applications you can get better reliability by competent people deploying reliable software on reliable hardware.

This doesn't jive with the tech industry hype train though, hence, it being "myopic" to consider running your own services internally.
BabyList - Oakland, CA | Full Time | ONSITE
BabyList is making it easier for new parents to prepare for one of the biggest events in their lives. We have an extremely engaged user-base, we’re growing quickly and making real money. Our core product is a universal baby registry, and we are developing our own e-commerce platform and content site. Our HQ is in the Old Oakland neighborhood, 3 blocks from the 12th Street BART. We're a smart and diverse team of 15. Our users actually notice and love what we do (read our AppStore reviews for proof).

Our front-end is driven by React/Redux, Sass, Bootstrap, and we recently released a new section of our iOS app powered by React Native. You would join an excellent product team of 4 software engineers and 2 designers.
Requirements:

- You've coded a lot, you're hands on, and passionate about building world class applications.

- Expert-level fluency in Javascript and one modern front-end framework.

- Experience with OOCSS methodologies and an almost unhealthy obsession with keeping CSS (Sass) clean and scalable.

- Experience with modern front-end build tools (Babel, Browserify, Webpack, Gulp, etc).

- User-obsessed. Once you get to know our users, you deeply empathize and genuinely like them. You could get on the phone with a user (or their grandmother) if they were having an issue.

- You’re opinionated and care intensely about the little details that make a great user experience.

Senior Fullstack Engineer:
Our server-side code is powered by Ruby on Rails, MySQL and Redis.
Requirements:

- You've coded a lot, you're hands on, and passionate about building world class applications.

- Expert-level fluency in at least one of Ruby, Java, Python, or another modern server-side object-oriented programming language.

- Bachelors in CS, or equivalent experience.

- Experience designing and implementing scalable web services.

- Deep knowledge of testing best practices and continuous deployment.

I'd love to tell you more over the phone or in person. Contact me at august[at]babyli.st or see our jobs page for other open positions - https://babyli.st/jobs
Having a GDP/capita nearly double that of Germany probably helps too.
Imagine two extremes, as an illustration:

1. In one city, incumbents rule. Their property values rise to a level that keeps everyone else out. They make all the rules. They were there first and they win. It's theirs and outsiders should respect that.

2. The second city is open to anyone, always changing. Incumbents cannot expect gains by virtue of having been first. Everyone there has the same expectation of benefiting from the city as anyone else. Anyone in the country is free (and able) to make a life there, if they choose.

I know which city sounds better to me. I know which one sounds like it benefits the most people, for the longest amount of time.

Of course incumbents prefer #1. Of course.

But, so what?
Cheap shot by a company doing backup/DR.

basically the same. I find nginx + ffmpeg to be easier and simpler than deploying Wowza. As well as free-er.
>Now Intel tries to get a cut of the market, but they are too late.

It's really more complex then that.

x86_64 has a lot of backwards compatibility. Even low power chips made by Intel typically consume 2-5x the wattage of ARM counter parts. Intel's very low power line (matches ARM) doesn't actually have the 64bit extension and is functionally a i586 chip from circa 1999-2003. Modern x86_64 chips have a whole section of die space dedicated to emulation, re-ordering, re-naming, and caching for us to pretend x86 is fast.

Then you have monopoly. Intel is the only company making x86_64 chips (Yes VIA/AMD exist, but collectively they have <10% of the market). They are the only show in town, it's their prices. While ARM simply licenses it's IP to other companies, who then compete with one another and drive prices even lower.

9 Lessons We Learned While Scaling Hotjar's Tech Architecture
>it's not about the time dependence of the wave function.

The uncertainty of position and momentum is fundamentally about the Fourier transform, and is definitely about the time dependence of the wave function. You don't even need a full description of quantum mechanics to get the uncertainty principle, "momentum is the Fourier transform of position" gets you there immediately.

> This is not true, spreading out is due to dispersion.

In this case, for a massive particle, the spreading out is due to the uncertainty principle. That uncertainty principle might be the cause of the dispersion, but you don't need to invoke anything else to get the spreading out.

>Why you don't see particle like wave packets on water surface? Also dispersion. In fact you can create particle like waves on a guitar string, which is pretty much dispersionless. Also you can describe massless particles in QM which are also dispersionless.

You can create particle like waves on water surface, on a guitar string (which IS dispersive, just not to first order), and in massless particles. They are called solitons, and are a pretty cool area of research.
Helping newcomers find an entry point really helps them feel like they are contributing and helps them get involved. It's also important to be understanding when their code fails CI tests a few times.
I agree. MIUI isn't bad at all, but it feels like a waste of engineering resources developing and supporting your own little Android flavour when the majority of people enjoy a vanilla Android.
Wall Skills
More financial writing should be like this. The various points of view are clearly presented and explained in proper layman terms and it made for very nice reading.
This logic is terrible. The share holders would have never gotten $17.62 so why are they being awarded $3.87 per share with interest?!

Reminds me of the land taxes on the value of the property. The value of the area goes up, the house is taxed into a higher bracket because it is worth such and such. But no one will buy it for that appraisal so how can it have that value?!

Or collecting comics or coins. My comic book is valued at $1000! Great, but no one will buy it for that much. I only get $500 offers for it. Things are only worth what they are actually exchanged for.
We are going to divide up the people who come to our site. Half of them will see one version of the site and half will see another version of the site.

@Intel: how about thinking about 10GHz single core CPUs? And where is Atom? Why are we stuck in 2006 era CPU singe core performance?

@nVidia: how about thinking about affordable high end GPUs? The GPUs got 400% more expensive since 2011.

It's a pitty that AMD bought ATI, and now they can't compete with Intel and nVidia. And we all have to suffer and pay higher prices and get less performance - because no real competition exists any more.
We aren't looking for interns at the moment, just full time employees.

We haven't had any experience with international employees, and I'm unsure about how that would all work.

We have about 20 in the company, of which 15 are in the office. We have some nice office space in down town Portland, Oregon. You'd be working in a collaborative space with the engineers.

We have an organizational structure in that we have a CEO and CTO but I would say it's a meritocracy.

That is just bizarre. So if you buy out a company where no other group even tries to outbid you investors can later come back and claim you did pay a fair market value?

Has this happened with other buyouts or mergers? I thought the point of the share price was to show what investors were willing to pay. To assume every buyout is purposefully under cutting the price by 25% will just depress future offers
Only if both Google and Microsoft focus on making that happen. Microsoft seems to have given up on it, so now we're only left with the new Play Store-enabled Chromebooks, that should actually give a slight advantage to ARM chips in terms of efficiency of running those apps. But so far Google hasn't been too enthusiastic about promoting ARM-based Chromebooks either, and has preferred to bring over Intel's monopoly to Chromebooks as well. But we'll see. At the very least we should be seeing some AMD Zen APUs in Chromebooks next year.

Apple could help a great deal here, too, if it decides to turn the iPad Pro, into something more like an iOS-based Remix OS-like notebook. In other words, make the iPad Pro more useful by giving it an actual notebook keyboard, and redesign the OS interface a little more to accommodate a desktop environment. Keep the price at least $300 less than a Macbook Air.

IMHO they're offering you help to increase your yearly salary and get a job that you enjoy more, basically risk free. For example, if they increase your salary from 80K/year to 90K/year, they'll get $1350 (1.5%). From a value based perspective, they've more than delivered of solid return on investment. That's more than a 7X ROI in the first year alone. Not to mention the subjective value of enjoying life more from a job you like more.
ffmpeg can do that fairly easily. To adjust the command in the example, you need to to take the srt file and pass it as a second -i input file. There's some helpful guides on how to do that if you search around.

Ask HN: What communication app(s) do you use the most? Why?
Just to be clear - A-Fib needs medical attention, but it probably won't kill you directly.

It's possible to have permanent A-Fib and survive - if not thrive - just fine.

The three things that can kill you indirectly are clots created by blood pooling in the heart, heart exhaustion from tachycardia, and a heart attack from possible ventricular arrhythmia.

I occasionally get A-Fib and it's consistently caused by stress - often lack of sleep (no more all-nighters...) or any situation where I have too much to do and not enough time to do it.

(That thing where people say "Hard work never killed anyone?" 100% wrong.)

Having researched it, the causes are complicated, and stress is only one predictor. There are physiological and genetic predispositions and other possible contributing factors.

So yes - GO TO A DOCTOR. You probably won't die - but you might, and it's very easily avoided.
Wind River (Subsidiary of Intel) has a large foothold in the IoT market with their VxWorks and WR Linux OSs that play in the embedded/MCU market. Also see their free new open source OS, Rocket, which is being developed as the "Zephyr Project" in collaboration with the Linux Foundation.
The author conveniently ignores one important downside to centralized source control: speed.

Switching branches in git is incredibly fast, specifically because you have all the history locally. The reason branching was so uncommon in SVN was because of how horribly slow it was to switch branches.

> Of all the time I have ever used DVCSes, over the last twenty years if we count Smalltalk changesets and twelve or so if you don’t, I have wanted to have the full history while offline a grand total of maybe about six times.

The problem with that statement is that it's wrong. Every time he switched branches or made a new branch it was relying on his local copy of the repo.

Sure, he makes some good points about binary blobs and submodules, but he also avoids talking about the downsides of centralized version control.

For many companies, especially smaller ones, the cost of setting up and managing infrastructure that can support high uptimes just isn't manageable. It's not just the hardware, it's also the price of hiring or contracting people with the expertise to do it.

Case in point: It's informative that you refer to "mail servers". The plural makes it clear that the company in question isn't in the same league, size-wise, as the target market for most SaaS vendors.

But most of the basic jobs are going to be makework jobs with minimal economic value. Things that have economic utility approximately equal to (and possibly less than) sitting on your couch and watching Netflix.

Really? Fixing our crumbling infrastructure isn't valuable? Providing childcare to working mothers is useless? Glad to know there is nothing useful the govt can possibly do with more labor.

But then the basic job falls on its face because people will too often choose the basic job which is easier to get, has more stability, may be easier to do, etc.

This can be resolved by making BJ suck and pay below min wage.

The Basic Income doesn't have those problems because in that case the income from the Real Job supplements the Basic Income instead of replacing it, so you get compensated for the amount that getting a real job is worse than not getting one.

On the other hand, you seem to be ignoring the third option: watch TV all day while collecting money. We already know that free money (typically in the form of welfare and unemployment) induces this behavior.

As for the arithmetic, the question is this: ...BI is far and far more expensive than unemployment benefit: BI is also paid to people who work. Maybe some BI advocate should try to convince me but to me it looks like this will far outset the advantage above.

Your calculations seem to work in your hypothetical society. Do they work on something approximating reality?

It was one employee of tiversa who discovered the folder. It was the tiversa leader Boback who then used that as an excuse for extortion, lying about the extent to which it was 'in the wild' (it wasn't). When daugherty fought back, sensing the scam, boback sicced the govt on him, who then stupidly just gobbled up whatever tiversa claimed. Tiversa is the company that needs to be crushed. LabMD had a very bad stroke of luck in one very very stupid employee. I hope daugherty wins both lawsuits, against the corrupt govt. and the pos co. tiversa.

> It's as if the system was designed to be so complex as to require a team of people to operate, plus a manager to supervise, plus a support person to field phone calls

This is exactly it. Even if not intentionally designed, it ends up that way. As andrewstuart2 mentioned above, "[customers] also got the full expertise of the salesforce engineering organization (which clearly is far from incompetent) being brought to bear on the problem, at no extra charge to them as a customer". This is great I guess, but if your home-grown solution doesn't use, say, Oracle, to start out with, you're going to eliminate a heck of a lot of necessary engineering expertise when things go wrong. Break up systems even more and suddenly just one generalist can do it all on the side...
