Any idea why Nvidia dominates in "serious" GPGPU applications? I remember people mocking them for refusing to adopt OpenCL, and when they finally caved their implementation performed far worse than AMDs. How did they win people over? Did they give out a bunch of free GPUs to universities or something?
I've worked with someone who managed to make a PHP string manipulation function look and function like C code a very broken C code at that.

It was so horrendous I had to redactor it to keep my sanity.

It takes amazing skill to write code so badly although it's not something I would hire for.
The money is quite good ($100 for fitness, etc.), but 15 days holiday is very bad. The statutary minimum is 20 days in most of Europe, and 25 is common in the UK (plus 8 bank holidays; I think you get 11?). I get 27 days. My g/f gets 25 with the option to buy 5 more.

This is a really big problem in Australia and not just for written media but also digital content such as TV/Film/eBooks/Audiobooks

I WANT to obtain ebooks / to series etc... in a way where the authors get paid but they're either inflated in price due to the USD, not available outside of the USA, not available without some sort of awful DRM that prevents me from using a device or my choosing to read / play them on or are low quality.

IMO Amazon are the worst offenders for this, they make ebooks far more expensive then physical books and yet still plaster them with their restrictive DRM on top. A lot of their library is unavailable outside the USA or if it is - comes at a great cost. On top of this, while their ebooks readers are great I've found I really need the higher end models with the high DPI screens which are /really/ expensive outside the USA and reading on a LCD screen is just too hard.

HBO go isn't available in Australia so that's our.

I currently pay for and subscribe to:

- Audible (highly overpriced, limited content available in Australia, about to cancel)

- Netflix (well priced, good quality, poor interface and limited content available in Australia)

- Apple Music (well priced, good quality, poor interface although the latest betas on iOS 10 and iTunes are much, much better)

- Spotify (Overpriced, medium quality, good playlists / sharing features)

The cost of all these services plus the devices to use them with and the connections for them really adds up. I wish someone / the govt could just act as an international media aggregate and you pay a subscription based on what kinds / levels of content you want and they provide it from various upstream sources in standard formats (never going to happen I know).

In the past I've tried:

- Safari books online - cancelled due to extremely high costs and very restrictive DRM

- Paktpub subscription (Can't remember the name) - overpriced and quality varied greatly

- Scribd - overpriced and very hard to get what you want in Australia

- Stan - overpriced, poor interface, no 4K support

- Quickflicks - overpriced, poor interface, no 4K support

... and many others

After all this, just like with licenses software, it would actually be easier for me just to torrent (or whatever) the thing I wanted, but as I said I want to give money to the people that create and maintain the content.

The only media provider that does his well in my opinion is Bandcamp, ok they have no subscription model because that's not their thing, but I have spent more money on bandcamp than I ever did on CDs or Vinyl, and the artists get more of a cut.

I don't follow your criticism then. Sounds like you have a really bizarre back-end setup and Ember provides you a low-level way to integrate it, so how is that "too opinionated"? Did you expect a high-level API that would work with this multiple endpoint setup?
> Your explanation barely makes sense even on its own merits. Surely, if nature wanted us to have N children and then take care of them, it would have set a cutoff on N

To talk about what nature "wants" is probably not very helpful. I can't speak for the idea that menopause exists because it is useful for old women nurture their grandchildren, but tendencies like it exist simply because they are helpful enough in an evolutionary sense.

I mean, why should we want to have sex without reproducing? If nature "wanted" us to have children, why not make that coincide exactly with our sex drive? It's because no one designs these things or thinks of logical solutions. Having a sex drive regardless of individually wanting to have children works to a genetically beneficial end either way.

> Is it to their evolutionary advantage to care for the children they didn't have?

Their evolutionary advantage? How can an individual gain an evolutionary advantage in itself? When I'm dead, I'm dead. Nothing can be an advantage or a disadvantage to me as an individual at that point. The process of evolution stretches across generations and concerns things that do sustain for several generations, like genes.

Why would a spider want to mate if it almost always gets eaten immediately after doing so? How is it to their individual advantage to be eaten? Why would bees be born without reproductive capabilities? It's because these are genetically beneficial traits, not because the individuals themselves will gain from it.
On a CPU you'd have the same bottlenecks unless you fit the entire dataset in memory (which, admittedly is a possibility). Assuming you can't get the full dataset in memory, apples-to-apples you should be able to see a significant speedup on the GPU over the CPU. Previously this was not the case for large datasets.

When you say "the problem", do you mean the OP's problem? Or the problem you have with the ACM or IEEE? Or the problem with CS as a career? Because I thought we were talking about the OP's problem.

You know, people can have an entirely good life without having to climb a career ladder. Going back a tech-generation, and thinking of a friend, after you work at NeXT and AutoCAD, you go to a small plastics manufacturing company and with team of two others, manage their IT systems. It pays well, has good benefits, is 10 minutes commute, has diverse challenges, and he loves that they make actual physical things. What's wrong with that?

While you're not stealing in a sense that you're taking something physical, you are stealing in a sense that you are not compensating author for their work. Let's say you are graphics designer. You are hired to create logo for a company. Company likes your work and they just copy the file you've sent to them but they decided they are not going to pay you. Are they stealing from you or is it "just" copyright infringement ?
It's always strange to see someone wondering whether skin pigmentation has something to do with something completely unrelated like mental health or suicide rate, when so many other factors with demonstrably more impact come into play (social, economic, etc).
And there you have demonstrated the entire thesis of the original article.
From personal experience, being at work five eights vs four tens has very little impact on time away from home, like maybe one hour per day or something like that. While the five eights are sitting in their car for an extra 30 minutes during each rush hour commute, I'm sitting at my desk working. I suppose your local traffic patterns may vary.

There are downsides. Less time commuting means less time listening to audiobooks and podcasts.

Like many people, once my brain is fried I'm simply done for the day, doesn't matter if that frying happened at 9am or 7pm. So statistically a three hour staff meeting causes more total lost productivity for a ten-er than an eight-er. Scheduling people make sure meetings only happen during common time (uh, thanks?)

When the weather is bad (blizzard or whatever) or go home sick a half day, obviously that's more expensive for a tener than an eighter. Of course that is balanced out, I'm more likely to have a sick day on my weekend than an eighter and if there's a blizzard on my weekend I obviously don't miss any work.

In my country you can download any pirated game, movie, tv show, ebook or music legally and store it for 48 hours but you can't share it/upload it. And i am doing it with one exception. There is a company CD Project RED that made Witcher series and even that their games are without DRM (that is their choice - "we can't force you to buy our game but we can convince you") i am buying their games and i will buy them in future also. I could just download and do not pay for it but their product is so good, their policies, customer care is just great. I can see they have put their heart and souls into this games, they don't force you to buy with DRM that's why they get my money. They sold 10 mil copies of Witcher 3 without having any DRM. If you make good product you don't need to worry about piracy.

I think I would switch to windows if I had to look at a vintage OSX version. I think its great for nostalgia to look back at the evolution of UI and not every change is an improvement, but I find the latest versions of windows/OSX to be perfectly usable and nice to look at. I dont need such literal translations of my icons for them to make sense. This argument is kind of bogus anyway- how many times of looking at an icon and clicking it does it take to remember what goes where?!?! I use the application Reason quite often but that icon offers no clue as to what type of application it is. Flat layouts are easier on the eyes and all the shading gradients and other elements required for "realistic" ui are tiring. Completely disagree with this article here.
Hmm, vaccines are in a slightly different camp as they are most effective when everyone uses them. I will say that the anti-anti-vaccine crowd does much more harm than good by spreading pro-vaccine propaganda. Believe it or not, not every vaccine created has been effective and harmless and by generalizing your hate speeches (on both sides) instead of educating you only cause people to make emotional decisions rather than rational decisions.
Everyone has the legal right to view something.

Copyright only prevents producing and distributing unlicensed copies, i.e. uploading or sharing.

Downloading, streaming, or attending an unlicensed performance is not copyright infringement.

Without Copyright, and when it expires, the natural state of culture is to be copied, that is how it evolves - all works exist naturally in the public domain.

Copyright is a limited right to encourage the arts by providing a temporary monopoly.

The word theft is entirely out of place in discussions of copyright.

It looks like you're based in Europe, so be careful relying on any US-centric advice if that's the case. It pretty much goes without saying, but HN is not a proxy for proper legal advice from a local lawyer who understands the full fact set.

With that said, while you're unlikely to be liable for their costs given the unsigned term sheet (assuming there's no wrinkle in your local law), you don't want to get trapped in an ugly public battle with a VC as it will potentially make raising funds in the future much harder - whether for Talon.One or another company.

I'd recommend talking quietly to the GP at Investor B and seek his/her advice on how to settle this quickly, quietly and preferably with little or no out-of-pocket expense. Based on the facts laid out, I don't like the behavior of Investor A so I hope this process ends with them reflecting on their actions and realizing that they won't survive long in the VC game if they don't adapt.

There is clear precedent that you are not.

In this case, HBO is a business trying to make profit. It spends enormous amounts of money producing shows. Giving away a copy of their product for free arguably reduces their ability to stay solvent. Thus, theft.
NVIDIA supports developers better than AMD does (on the whole). So they got CUDA working first, and helped developers get their computational frameworks running on CUDA easier and faster. That gave them several hardware generations of head start. If OpenCL 2.x becomes easier to support and more performant as Khronos claims then maybe there'll be a shift.

There was a very nice spanish community that would scan/ocr books and convert them into epubs. They had very high standards and their forums were full with epub documentation, best practices, boilerplate/skeleton files, scripts, etc. To the point their curated epubs were better than those of some publishers.

It all died when one of the founders was arrested.

Edit: it seems my information was incorrect, the site's owner sold it and the new owners wrapped the download links with malware and closed the forum. Users left and the site closed.

Actually, I should measure things external to "my subordinates". I don't know what example to present to you, let me try.

I am part of team building CAD system. What should I, as a manager, measure is an efficiency of a user of our system. E.g., time to complete a task of (un)trained user, delay distribution of a response time, something like that. These are external to the development effort, generally.

I emphasize that by diving into design (or, worse, development) questions I will not get a quality product. I have to measure things that no sane software developer will measure - that measurement is just not interesting as a process. I have to measure them and present to my colleagues as an external constraint to the system, for them to use that constraint to make system better.

As a leutenant, you cannot win a battle by asking questions about "why have you targeted that khata on a kholm?". You assess a situation (measure variables external to each member of the platoon) and... well, that depends then. Even if I order platoon to do something it is up to platoon members to develop their ways and coordinate them. This is the case of mission-oriented tactics, which is implicitly utilized by every good SW dev team.

If you still think I am bossing, have tunnel vision and enforce top-down tyranny, well, so be it.
Julia is interesting in this regard (and Go I think - I used it's ancestor: Limbo). You can start with

function foo(bar)
pass
end function

and then add types later when you've found out what was inferred

function foo(bar::Int64)
pass
end function

I enjoy this style, it means I can create the story as I go along without re-writing types every time
>branding nightmare //

I sort of understand, but no-one outside my family uses my desktop and when I worked in an office it was just me or the IT support people, so how is it about branding in the general situation. For media stuff everyone is likely to be using the default.
My close experience with depression (not myself) is that it can takes years for someone to accept the thought of being depressed, and even more time to seek help.

Sadly, there's too much prejudice and taboo over mental health in our society. People treat it as a badge of shame, not a disease.
CUDA mainly. It's fast (faster than OpenCL) and NVIDIA is really good with their software. CuDNN for deep neural networks is almost an industry standard. Nvidia understands software and markets better, while AMD sits on their butts for too long. Granted AMD always come out with a good open source solution that is always just a bit worse and very late. NVIDIA tries to create markets while AMD mess up and end up becoming followers. Shame really.

Edit: this is a good step though. AMD should be pushing the envelope and hopefully with Zen, they can actually realize some of the gains of HSA (which they tried to pioneer but it wasn't so useful since Bulldozer isn't that good)

The Internet may allow the free exchange of information and ideas but every inch of the cable, routers, and other infrastructure that makes up the Internet is owned by either a government or by a telecoms corporation subject to government regulation, going all the way back to ARPAnet. There was never any chance of the internet remaining a free place, merely a brief moment between when the technology was invented and when entrepreneurs & lawmakers caught up. If anything, it's surprising that anyone ever believed otherwise.
I don't get why there are special programs for women. Here in Québec we see more and more women becoming doctors, teachers, nurses etc...

> If I had to be in serious pain every day but could keep doing many things I would rather keep living with the pain.

Scratch that: ~~~No, you (most probably) wouldn't.~~~

EDIT: this post is about severe chronic pain. Think cancer, or a serious toothache which lasts for years. And it's not meant to discuss the specific situation of the parent! I'm talking in general. I also agree that not 100% patients with severe chronic pain will consider suicide, however the percentage of people considering suicide in such group is much higher than in the rest of the population.

You may believe so right now, but that's totally irrelevant: just as you were unable to imagine "how much pain it was possible to feel" before your experience, you are unable to imagine what a serious, chronic pain can do to you.

Chronic pain is a lot like depression: there's no relief, no hope, nothing you can do to ever feel any better. Assuming that you'd be able to do anything - and that doing that would even make you happy - is... well, very improbable, to say the least.

> Anyway the point is, not everyone is afraid of pain and suffering. Especially not to the point that suicide would even be considered.

Sure, it's easy to be brave in the face of the unknown. It's a lot harder to be brave once you see what "chronic pain" really means. And there is no notion of being brave (or not) once it actually happens to you - there's only despair and suffering. Really, only that. Nothing else, at all.

We have a lot of pain management methods at our disposal now and, in many cases, it's possible to reduce the symptoms and make the patient feel "well enough". Without such help, however, it's only a matter of time before (most of) the patient considers suicide - no matter how brave and "suffering accepting" he was before.

You only have the right to view something if someone who created that wants you to view it. If they say that you can view it after you pay, that's their right. If you pay and are allowed to view it you can describe it in any way you want to other people, but you are not allowed to spend that time you had for viewing it to make a copy of it and show it to some other people that did not pay the original author. If you at the same time use your copy to make money, taking that potential income from the original owner how is that not a theft?

Reducing a business's ability to remain solvent does not constitute theft. If a competitor emerged and offered better shows for less money, that would also reduce HBO's ability to remain solvent, but is obviously not theft. HBO does not "own" expected profits from their business.

Spending an enormous amount of money does not entitle anyone to a profit, just ask Webvan.
This article doesn't make it clear what was actually leaked. Was it the actual private info or links to it? Was this info already publicly available? Honestly this article seems like retaliation for the earlier DNC leak and is heavy on accusations, light on facts.
