> Erdogan made many interventions to clean police force.

Ok, so then the people Erdogan moved into the military between 2010 and 2013 they were these remaining Gulen supporters in government that are intent on destroying the republic? Or he decided not to out existing Gulen supporters he helped sneak in to the military before 2010 to either his new or its past republican leadership, (which would happily contain or remove such elements.)

None of this makes any sense unless he is admitting that he was an element of a religious group's conspiracy to corrupt the republic until 2013 and now also thinks his own continuation of power is more important than whatever religious beliefs he feels trump the republic. (A republic can't matter to a conspirator against it, right?)

That sounds like it would be slight if someone other than Erdogan said it about him and a terrible official position for a president of a republic. So what is his official position on the past that makes sense with all of this data about a Gulen lead conspiracy to destroy the Turkish Republic that began "decades before" their 2013 split?
Currently, nothing. But it used to stand for "Linux Weekly News". Of course, that name no longer makes sense since they're far away from producing only weekly news, but they sticked to it, and I think that this is a reason why they don't use their "full name" anymore.

How to create awesome animated GIFs of your app – in 7 easy steps
Well, none of those listed technologies is practical.

Ternary logic is really cool, but it only gets you about a 10% efficiency improvement. I think it would be awesome to go in this direction, but retooling our entire tech stack for that isn't going to happen. I mean, look at x86.

The only thing that will really make progress is molecular nanotechnology. I had always believed that reaching the end of silicon process technology would necessitate the research into MNT.

What's funny is that we have arguably already reached the end on the silicon process technology, if Intel's desktop product offerings are used as a guide. There are gamers who are building new rigs using chips that are 2 or 3 generations old, because there isn't really anything better available. What's really hilarious are the guys building systems with used Xeon CPUs from retired servers!

So I don't know what's going on any more. You would think that the profits and stock prices of all the silicon companies would collapse if they weren't able to continue producing improvements on their existing products. Intel is spending massively on R&D, but the gains are nowhere close to what we saw 15 years ago.

Note that keep referencing Intel, because they've been at the leading edge. AMD doesn't have 14nm in production, for example.

> make it so that the phone cannot be turned off by the power switch on the device itself.

I used to have the same idea [1], having been a victim of theft and robbery myself, but as others in that thread pointed out, it would be trivial for thieves to take out the SIM, or to wrap it up in something that blocks all signals.

I think a better way might be to introduce a PANIC MODE; a special state that could be activated with a predefined fingerprint or PIN, different from the ones you use for unlocking. Say your left pinky.

In Panic Mode, the device would present a "fake" environment, which allows most operations but:

* Keeps the device secretly powered on even after being powered off.

* Regularly connects to open networks AND also transmits an SOS to all nearby Apple devices, to use THEIR network and transmit its location to Find My Phone.

* If not powered off, defaults to an easy passcode, like 0000 or 1234, and disables lockout protection for invalid retries.

* When unlocked, presents a home screen that looks identical to a freshly installed OS, with empty or random Notes, Contacts, Calendar etc.

* Allows calls to any local number, but for a duration of one minute only, so the networks can aid law enforcement in tracking it as well.

----

TL;DR: Make the device appear unsecured to the thieves, so they don't have to force the owner to remove all protections, and entice them to keep using it normally for as long as possible while secretly and aggressively tracking them.

True, but as far as I know most incidents of the USSR coming close to a nuclear strike were accidents or technical glitches. IMO it's incredibly unlikely the USSR would have had actually used nuclear weapons precisely because the military had such an aversion to actually using it.

OTOH incidents like Able Archer demonstrate exactly the kind of carelessness I'm talking about: that anyone was surprised the USSR could have mistaken a realistic, unannounced, off-schedule "simulation" near their borders for the real thing is idiotic. This kind of posturing is extremely dangerous and the US is still doing it today.

Sure, Russia and other "bad actors" are doing similar things, but the US is often going further (except for maybe the recent antics by North Korea -- which everybody expects to do ridiculously crazy things to begin with because they're a hereditary dictatorship, not a democratic republic).

That said, nuclear weapons are not a deterrent. Unless you're a sociopathic caveman, condemning all of humanity to death just because your nation state's integrity is at risk is an unimaginable atrocity. It's the ultimate war crime. Threatening the use of nuclear weapons is holding all of mankind (alive and future) hostage -- it's frankly disgusting.

Not that anyone would be able to or interested in actually having a meaningful war with the US. We're well past the age of rolling into other people's countries with tanks and planting down a flag. A war between Russia and the US would ruin both countries' economies and neither party would come out on top -- even if the US didn't have a massive army (or Russia didn't have a massive territory).

My biggest gripe wrt US vs Russia is actually that Russia and China both have an official No-First-Use policy but the US explicitly reserves the right to a nuclear first strike (not even paying lip service as a sign of good will -- because let's face it: if Russia or China violates their NFU policy against the US it's irrelevant anyway). And while Russia has been a strong proponent of nuclear disarmament since the final years of the USSR, the US has been quite the opposite.

I think that we also very easily 'anthropomorphize' human behavior; that is to say that we superimpose our own assumptions onto other people's behaviour.

We are animals too, and the rational part is only a thin, recent addition to our brains.

I believe many animals are just as intelligent as us in their own way.

I also don't believe there is a genetic difference, however I think there is a clear cultural difference which favors westerners. Asian culture with its emphasis on harmony and respect for the elders does not IMHO foster radical innovation. A key problem for China is that it is united. This stifles competition in ideas of how to organize society. Europe has benefited tremendously from being divided. That has prevented Europe from stagnating the way China did for hundreds of years. One stupid ruler can bring down all of China. One stupid European leader can't bring down the whole of Europe.

It is also false to consider Europe being a laggard in earlier times just because it was behind in maths and higher learning. One tends to think the Roman empire was so superior due to its progress in the arts and sciences. However medieval Europe saw far more progress in e.g. machinery and labour saving devices. Windmills, waterwheels, better plows etc was developed in this period.

In the short term the unit of China reaped a lot of benefits in the form of having much more peace. Europe suffered many setbacks due to the frequency of wars. But in the long run this proved a benefit. The fierce competitive nature of westerners could not be countered by harmony focused asian cultures.

Design for Virtual Reality with Sketch-To-VR
It is a valid objection.

When a certain type of great cat kills, say, an antelope, it will look around carefully. Humans first describing this behavior assumed the cats were feeling guilty for killing and wanted to check if there were any "witnesses".

Nowadays, this behavior is interpreted as checking for hyenas, who like to snatch away prey from other predators.

I would not consider this behavior dumb or uninteresting, but it is - probably - for a different reason than a human observer might naively assume.

Being aware that animals might do things for different reasons than humans is not dismissing the animal's motives, it can be a key to understanding its behavior. It is not at all the same as assuming an animal's internal life is dumb and uninteresting, at least I do not think the GP wanted to imply that.

cool.

can you make it faster than C though please? (seriously) i think it might even happen by accident in some cases already though. the places where C can be beaten for performance are, in my experience, from design choices in the C standards, users not understanding or leveraging those things for performance and the architecture of the compilation-unit/link process.

things like the struct layout rules - instead of the compiler organising things to be optimal it follows those rules for memory layout, or the calling conventions - you often have to use funky extensions to get efficient function calls.

other things are the lack of ability to hint the compiler that e.g. mathematical structures underly types that can be leveraged for optimisation. that const or functional purity can be trusted... etc.
AP Report: Swiping fingerprint scanner to open notification on Nexus phones
Tutors and riches can't make up for lack of interest. If you look at top sports athletes many of those who reached the top did so because they had a motivation to train harder and longer than the rest. I remember a story about our best skier. She said her sister had more natural talent than her and was better. However her sister did not have the zeal for getting better and training hard, that is why she never became a top athlete.

I think there is a lot of truth to this. I drew better than my peers and I tended to do better in math. But if I reflect on it, I'd say it was mostly about interest. I drew a lot of drawings as a kid and I obsessed a lot about problems which are mathematical in nature. I wanted to understand how things worked. It wasn't enough to just get the right answer. I had to know why it was right.

The people I talk to who aren't very good at math typically strikes me as simply having no curiosity for why things work the way they do. They just want the answer and move on.

My brother e.g. has no curiosity like that, but he was born with better math skills than me. He could always do mental arithmetic better than me e.g. But as soon as math started getting abstract he fell behind me. Ability simply can't carry you if you have no motivation, curiosity or desire.

I believe "genes for math" is simply genes for having a personality that is curios and patient.

From the article:

> "...Moore’s Law, which states that the number of transistors that can be squeezed onto a semiconductor chip of a given size doubles roughly every two years, has held true since the mid 1960s..."

I thought it was the case that Moore's "Law" hasn't held up since ~2012.

I believe Intel and others have stated that as of 2012 or so, with 22nm processes, transistor density now doubles every ~2.5 years and is likely to slow further within 5 years without more fundamental breakthroughs.

The related trend that processor clock speeds doubled every 1.5-2 years-- which is commonly mistaken as Moore's Law in lay press but is actually more related to Dennard Scaling, Koomey's Law and historical statements by Intel-- had ceased to hold as of the late Aughts as well, I believe.

Memsistors have been a promise for some time. I wonder how we will make the leap from current dense-transistor IC tech and processes to anything new, given the huge infrastructure investments in fabs, quality control processes, etc. It seems it will be difficult to scale out a new technology, whatever it is, and get it price-competitive with existing transistor-dense IC technology. Perhaps I misunderstand here though, and would be interested in thoughts from those with greater expertise in the field.
tl;dr

people with many friends are overrepresented in social networks (because many people have them as friends) so people who are friends with you have more friends than the average.

In other words, everyone is friend with Tom from MySpace so you have a hugely popular friend, but you don't know any loner with no friend (because they're not your friend).

>During typical usage (MS Office, web browser, programming)...

That's the issue though, this wouldn't be similar to your typical usage. Instead, if they're using your GPU to train neural networks, it'll be running close to or at full capacity.

I realize that you rounded the costs up, but lets just look at the costs of a GPU often used for machine learning - Nvidia GTX 980 TI. According to Nvidia, it draws 250W under load which according to your figures would result in a yearly cost of roughly $344. That's just for the reference card, a typical card that a consumer would purchase would draw even more. You can buy a 980 TI for a little more than $400. That doesn't even begin to look at hardware actually designed for commercial and research applications.

I think that it's possible to find a way of monetizing computer resources, however, I think it has more to do with arbitraging differences in electricity costs. Suchflex's model certainly wouldn't work where I live (electricity costs in NYC are roughly 20 cents per kw-hour) but parts of the US are under 10 cents. I could see a company attempting to profit from these differences by setting up hardware in a cheap state and negotiating a favorable electricity rate. Heavy computation could then be done on these networks for significantly less than it could in New York or California.

In summary, the value of a consumer's unused computer has more to do with their electricity rate than their hardware.
At the scale of a website, I'm not sure what sort of definite conclusion about the differences between Drive and Dropbox would be useful.

I mean, there might be differences that don't matter to me, but matter to some other person, or vice versa. But commodity services, like cloud file storage, there aren't differences that matter in all use cases. I'd also wonder about how a website that took on such a task would provide reliable up to date information as services change.

Good luck.
