This is not the same company. AMD had fabs then (real men have fabs) which were spun out. Interestingly the headline in news now is that AMD stock more than doubled recently based on strong sales of GPUs and gaming :) That ATI IP might be saving their bacon right now.

It seems rather risky to trust one's network security to a software that is not only closed-source, but actively tries to resist analysis. Great write-up.
Regarding legalization- we had no relevant data, so I can't say. The bidirectional association may indeed indicate a third cause, as discussed in the paper. I have added a link that should allow access to the full-text, let me know if it doesn't work for you.
"could care less" is a mistake that just grew popular enough to become common use; it doesn't make any sense as a statement since it implies that you haven't hit your care 'floor'.

Certainly not me. I abandoned a project, and the new guy coming in wants to abandon the current solution and use coldbox running on lucee. I've given my advice that it's too risky/too niche, but we'll see what happens.
It's not a coincidence; it's discussed in chapter 6 that Aaron Smith-Teller's grandfather was Edward Teller.

Thanks for the clarification.

That makes a lot more sense.
You know, after watching him pull off creating a portable Dreamcast

I think "The thing is, the guy is talented. If you coupled that with decent equipment, he'd be amazing." sounds a little patronizing.
Interesting idea! I've submitted the form. Might be easier to get a few more people to sign up if you provide a few more details about the problem you're addressing and what you're planning to build.
I definitely agree that console emulation is a Good Thing from the standpoint of preserving the history of the medium. Hell, I've been working on my own Game Boy emulator in my spare time out of a mixture of technical curiosity and preservationism.

I also agree that a large, driving force behind the development of these emulators is the wider public's desire to easily play old games for free.

That said, it doesn't mean I condone the illegal redistribution of old games to play on these emulators. The fact that it's easy and largely overlooked by rights holders doesn't change the ethical equation for me.
"Do you know what ROI stands for? Radio on the Internet."
Man! I wish my boss had read it 5 years ago. I could never understand why I was not motivated in my job at all even though my boss was really brilliant. It basically reduced to this. No matter what I did the boss always had 2 cents that had little impact on anything but made be less interesting in doing the work. But for my next job the boss was much better, instead of saying change this and change that he would often ask me why I made certain choices and what inspired me. He would then say "ship it" but the questions he raised made me wonder how I could make things better.

But the advice is something everyone must learn.
Suicidal ideation is a serious problem for the person and also for anyone close to them who learns of it. Finding evidence that it is associated with cannabis use may be helpful in directing attention.

It is interesting that unlike ideation suicide attempts were not associated with cannabis use. How is this to be understood? Suicidal ideation is often a precursor to suicide attempts. Is the number of suicide attempts in cannabis users equivalent to the general population or to a population with the same level of suicidal ideation?
You missed his point, which was NOT that the journal didn't originate the article.
> Freedom of speech protects you from Government prosecution for expressing your opinions. Google is a private company.

This is a tired comment. Could we please stop saying it. We are aware of this.

Yes your ISP has the right to cut off your internet access because you vote Democrats. They are a private company.

But that doesn't make it right and doesn't mean we can't be angry about it!
I think in any cases you will have to define your notion of equality in the mathematical language you use. Indeed, even in Haskell, the equality operator returns a Haskell boolean but not a proposition, and cannot cope with equality on functions (I guess).
Not the OP, but I remember that from a developer's perspective (mine) Yahoo was pretty hot back in 2006-2007. Their dev center and API's were on par with Google's, if not better, while Yahoo Pipes was a very cool and interesting thing which has not been successfully replicated until now. Companies like FB were cool only because they had an exponential user growth and because of the rumors of them poaching engineers from Google or Yahoo for insane financial packages. That started to change around 2010 I'd say, when the FB devs started to open themselves up more to the world.
It's a pretty sensical and predictable movement though; Nintendo's first real foray into smartphone games becomes the most successful launch ever, leading the stock market to rationally believe that Nintendo will begin to really push their IP into this space and make lots of money. The irrational party is Nintendo, since they now give every indication that the success of Pokemon Go will have no effect on their strategy; the stock market has now responded and said 'we don't think Nintendo will make as much money in future as we'd previously predicted'.
That's a functionality I didn't know exists. So ok, I randomly selected two dates, 2016-07-23 and 2015-01-23.

Now this may be biased because I somehow knew which page was the old one, so I could choose more articles just to prove my point. So someone should do a blind test to verify it. Also it may have been a "good day", so more samples should be tested to verify it's not an exception.

But the fact is, I remember even now reading half of these articles I listed from old page. Especially telomere one. If this article would be posted today, it would attract comments and would be penalized, and who knows, maybe even flagged by some nutjob who thinks that "society obsession over youth" is bad and at the same time upvotes post about scientific study how being fat is actually not causing diabetes.

Another fact is that once community gets large enough, content gets objectively worse. Not because of nostalgia or some other psychological effect, but measurably worse.
That's why you do an audit, to determine if there is "much to break" or not.

Maybe it's caching passwords in a tempfile somewhere, or it uses "4" as it's random seed every time, or any one of a million other things that could go wrong. Nobody knows until they read the code.

I'd rather use an audited Password saver program, everything else being equal...
> Waiting for a Moonshot

It sounds like they're doing interesting work.

But you don't "wait" for a moonshot, hoping something of that magnitude comes out of all but random motivation from individual team members.

You produce a moonshot by deciding to do that exact thing. Which is exactly how the actual moonshot happened.

If you have random inputs, you'll have random outputs of unknown magnitude.
Such a coincidence that they have the same title and author name.
If your manager asks you to change a color or font or whatever that has 0 relevance to the actual task, you know then that your manager is an idiot and you should probably start searching for another job or a way to move up over him.

I had number of such situations. You are almost always better off without that in your life.
We are planning to host workshops in schools for student expert sessions. The problem is when getting out of school most students have no idea how to choose and what to do? Some sure have some idea but most of them are lost and choose engineering and figure it out later we want them to take this decision in an informed way.
As noted in the article, the newest version of Little Snitch (3.6.4) contains fixes for the issues:

“Little Snitch developers Objective Development already released version 3.6.4 with fixes for both problems. Hat tip to them for the quick fix turnaround and pleasant no-drama email exchange regarding these issues. You should update your copy of Little Snitch as soon as possible.”

I don't see how public spending is immune to speculation, failed products, compliance and procurement costs! The rest are features, not bugs:

* failed businesses free up resources for more productive activity

* sales provide a feedback loop to ensure an efficient level of production

* patents provide an incentive for fast deployment of new technologies

And private spending is far more accountable because if an investor loses too much money they are out of the game, whereas if a bureaucrat or politician spends too much money they gain a bigger budget and a captive constituency.

Anyway I'm not too interested in this general discussion; I'd be more keen on hearing if there are specific solutions to solve this particular problem, whether using private or public money. Not just "fund it" which isn't really meaningful without details.

7 Cyber-Security Measures That Could Save Your Startup from a Serious Setback
Maybe you're thinking of divisor instead of denominator?
Here's a recent article in Science magazine about natural disasters, that covers solar storms: http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/07/here-s-how-world-coul...

In general, the author seems to believe that these storms are not likely to cause national-scale extreme hardships like the ones you mention. The experts admit being unsure, but nothing like 90% casualties seems probable.

There are some much more problematic scenarios, such as the ever present rogue asteroid one, and the often overlooked super-volcano one. It seems Yellowstone is a likely trouble spot.
> People are always looking for something to blame other than themselves

More often, people are looking to blame the moral failures of others rather than acknowledging and addressing the complexity in life that results in unfortunate situations.
As far as drones go, I guess it depends on what you mean by commercially viable:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_RQ-4_Global...
Definitely, but to me it seems like Google was responsible for jumping on it and taking it from university research projects to a viable "moonshot." So it's much less waiting for a moonshot - they already have it - more just waiting for the launch
You just blew my mind - never gave a thought to the etymology of "pas". I had to verify it because I simply couldn't believe it.

Come to think of it it also explains how "point" is sometimes used instead of "pas".
thanks, man, I have updated it with your suggestions. Don't forget to share it with other experts.
Nintendo did not create Pokémon Go, Ninantic did. The game's success is not an indication that Nintendo finally gets mobile.

This is the key point in the article which should be stressed much more.
This is a silly objection. If you can clone clipper cards, you don't need special software to cheat the system. The software here is just an academic exercise in optimization algorithms.
And I wish exactly the opposite - not to have every thread deailed with someone claiming "Python is better". No, it's not. (see what I did there?)

But no, seriously, it's not.
> Anyone playing more than solitaire is going to get a discrete GPU anyway

That's not true. The PC enthusiast market is a small segment of the overall PC market, and that's not even counting mobiles. Lots of people play non-graphically-intensive games.

More importantly, GPUs are hugely important for things that aren't games. Honestly, the fact that video needs hardware acceleration (which is part of the media/GPU block) means that there's a reasonable argument that games aren't even the most important practical function of a GPU.
Its stuff like this that makes me think the Fermi paradox might have a perfectly obvious solution...
Right, but you have the engineer saying that is not important, and the designer saying this is the most important part of the software and we might as well not do it at all.

This is where you need a decision from someone else.
Whoops! I usually get this right but apparently not this time. I do appreciate the correction! :)

Look into programming language research.

Holy fuck are you full of yourself. You are writing JS, it's not rocket science.
Dale Carnegie Rule #1: Never condemn, criticize or complain. In general, we're all not actually looking for input so much as support.

Human nature is such that even when we readily acknowledge someone better at something, we quietly indulge and seek out advantages we have in other areas.

We engineers like to think we're more rational and accepting of input. Working as a coder and manager for the last 20 years has shown me there's nothing further from the truth.
Hype is often the prospect of a huge success, but it always remains a long shot. As another comment said, you can short the stock each time there's a hype according to you and you'll often make a profit--until you don't, and you'll take a very heavy loss.

Which ones? Sometimes the configuration is confusing, but I haven't found one I can't disable yet (my Ariss/Moto SBG5580 doesn't have a simple 'bridge mode' toggle, I have to disable NAT/NAPT to put it into bridge mode).
> Transactions should be logged to something that can't be tampered with. Then you can go back and recover state by re-running transactions.

I believe the technical term for this pattern is Event Sourcing. See also:

http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/EventSourcing.html

Event Sourcing describes everything of such a system, except for a mechanism to ensure non-tempering. That's where other technologies such as regularily published hash values come into play - which may be printed in newspapers, cryptographically signed by multiple trusted organizations, agreed on through some blockchain technoloy, or a combination of all.
That is for your answer. I suppose that the interesting code is on the app side rather than the server side (which basically returns a Bunch of Json)
How do you architect a view layer that's so malleable - for example even the routes in Uber were shown in rainbow during pride.
A better metric might be cost per call. Outsourcing gives them cheaper per-call for the same length. Refusing service probably also shortens the call length. Refusing to do anything outside of the scripted interactions probably leads to some type of punishment for the rep.
The publisher gives a link for sharing on social networks which works for 50 days, after that, it's paywalled.
This doesn't necessarily invalidate the advice, but Steve Jobs clearly did not abide but it (would critique icons at the pixel level, etc.), so it is demonstrably not universal advice for building successful companies.
> Trying to get vendors to open source anything is a hilarious exercise in futility.

I hate that this is true. Could anyone explain to me why though? Would it not make life easier for them if they just open sourced their firmware and let other people update/maintain it? (Sorry for the noob question, I haven't looked into this in detail)
This is a Japanese Bigco we're talking about here. Literally no heads are on the chopping block with this.
“I Saw Earth and Moon in a Single Glance”
Ye I wasn't being facetious, more drawing from personal experience. Amazing to hear that it is actually correlated though. It does cause users stress from it being illegal and hard to get hold of. It means lying to friends, colleaugues and also maintaining unsavoury aquantances to be able to score etc. Many also genuinely smoke it to block out the bullsh!t of the world and reality which can make them feel helpless, angry or depressed.
I am working on a social app for meeting people over coffee/tea. I am aiming to simplify the process of setting up initial meetings, whether it is to chat with a developer at a company you're applying to, seek advice from a seasoned entrepreneur, or just find someone to jam on synthesizers with.

The core concept is that you are incentivized into meeting people because as part of your profile other people will know what your favourite local coffee shop/bakery/cafe/whatever is and what you like from there so they will know what to buy you. You basically get to name your own price for a short conversation, or on the flip side, cheaply buy time from people whom you would otherwise not know where to find.

Haven't been writing any code I can't easily reuse for other ideas because I'm barely starting to validate the idea, but hopefully I can generate some interest in it as I think there are simple paths to monetization.
Or, perhaps: They enable grants.

I've only ever helped write a single grant application. My parts of that had to be rewritten with more use of passive verbs and general neutral-sounding but largely vacuous prose.

I thought it's like those chick jokes. You don't offer comments about random women's gorgeous breasts because you really want to, it's just expected in some contexts. It tells the audience you're one of the guys. Overlong sentences where all that's done is passively done inform the grant reviewers that the author a proper scientist who should be enabled to continue with valuable research.
Well that's another motivation for them to move to a blockchain based thing.
Then what's EU? Ecuador?

We typically don't refer to a country like Australia by its country code, so AU does not automatically conjure up Australia.
Thanks Mark!

I feel like I inherited a solid and well designed project, and I'm so thankful for the thoughtfulness and skill of the many people who've touched this game and its engine over the years :D
You also have to keep in mind that, sadly, most of the toolchain for embedded is... quite old and proprietary. There is a whole ecosystem that force you to stay stucked at old stuff.

I know a ton of embedded company that still have windows 98 or XP machine, because they need them to drive their flash tools or their debugger.

The whole industry stopped updating when the software part tried super hard to sell them Java... and it did not work that well...
#Londonisopen by Sadiq Khan
Yes, I've heard the "my two cents" phrase used with important or strongly-held convictions, but that's just an ironic use of the phrase to mean the opposite of what it usually means, no?

It may also be a dialect issue, like the old "let's table this" problem.

I was definitely not reading "all or nothing" from the article, more of "if you only have something trivial to say, don't bother." Hence, don't give your two cents, but put a dollar in when it matters.
I have had good luck with that separation. I use an Apple Airport Extreme for my wifi (running in bridge mode), and a PC Engines "apu" [1] running OpenWRT for my router. I figure the wireless part is a detail I don't care too much about—it just gets my laptop onto the wired ethernet. The router is totally open source and hackable and I like that.

Had a similar experience with a Dell laptop that I literally bought out of a dude's trunk in a parking lot. This was around 2010. They sent out a repair person to replace the motherboard in my Latitude D830 that I paid $250 for second-hand. They had previously replaced the 1920x1200 LCD due to 2 dead pixels. I got seriously lucky with this laptop and it made me a loyal Dell customer for personal laptops.

Edit: maybe it was more like 2008/9. I just remember what job I had then and that it had the expensive extended warranty for 3 or 4 years, and it was about a month and a half from expiring (I looked it up by the service tag).
Regular and heavy as hell; those batteries won't pull themselves (well they could, but you get the point ;))

To give my anecdote, I'm considering getting an e-bike for commuting, or perhaps retrofit onto my regular bike: the ride is not long (~10 miles x2), but hills on both sides are significantly easier with an assist.
Got it. What do you see as our next existential threat? AI and asteroids don't really fit this discussion...
> Oh, and if your approach isn't really better, just different, keep it to yourself.

This really is the heart of the problem, not giving feedback when it is solicited (unless it is really soliciting for approval rather than feedback).

There usually are many ways to do something, all of them roughly equal and it doesn't matter who gets to chart the road to take, as long as a road gets taken and you can move on to the next issue. Way too often the discussion will center around who gets to claim that their road was taken, which is more often than not utterly irrelevant.

Office politics is the silent killer of teams, projects, products and whole companies and this is one of the more immediately destructive manifestations.
I never feel guilty about sending this along: http://begthequestion.info/

Even if language and idioms change, we need more ways to describe fallacies of circular reasoning, not fewer.
Try instead: I like it. How did you come up with that?
True, but I don't think the advice is about building a successful company but more about being a successful manager - which Steve Jobs was definitely not as he was famous for being a tirant.
This may be a bitter pill to swallow, but silly and meaningless idioms are a dime a dozen. When push comes to shove, it's not something worth losing your cool over.
Traditional Japanese companies tend not to want short term investors. It is not unusual at all for them to downplay short term success because they do not like volatility in the stock. It might not be obvious since it is game system maker, but Nintendo is a 125 year old company with a very conservative way of doing business.

On the Nikkei, Nintendo has been hovering between 15,000 and 25,000 yen (or about $150-$250 a share). That's about typical for them in the last 20 years. Since you need 100 shares for a minimum order on the Nikkei, that's a minimum investment of $15-25k. In the middle of the 2000's Nintendo faced some criticism for letting its stock price reach 60,000 yen (minimum investment $60k). They were quite happy with this because they did not want casual investors buying their stock.

Basically nothing to see here.
