Not really, you seriously think Apple would just let ImgTech guys come in without lawyers and agreements and all of that sort? Apple has extensive experience in this area, they had ImgTech signed everything possible to protect Apple and to indemnify themselves. It is a risk that ImgTech also took by allowing Apple deeper into the development process. This isn't a one-way street here.

Apple is extremely potent in protecting its technologies. There is no way they just let random ImgTech fly in and work on stuff with them without any agreements in advance. If this happened, ImgTech is going to be an easy billionaire by the end of the lawsuits they could do.

While I have no doubt that Apple works closely with their hardware partners by flying their engineers in to work on projects, I seriously doubt it was as simple as the OP made it sound.
Speed is not everything however, when it comes to memory usage, Java has a serious disadvantage.

Well duh, that was one of the major selling points of Brexit, IIRC.
Thanks for the correction. You know, I was once taught, quite poorly, that the apostrophe is used for possession, and when I'm not mindful about it, my brain makes this jump that when referring to something that "belongs" to whatever "it" refers to, that it therefore possesses this thing and therefore should have an apostrophe.

If I think about writing, I write its, but when I'm thinking what I want to write and my fingers just type it, it is like a layer of execution intercepts that thought and correct it.

I guess that's just the brain and one of its features, it's nuts.

Getting back to the subject, this is one of the biggest issues, idiots who hold our data and yet don't add salts to their encryption because salt is bad for you.
I think this argument against "rote learning" is basically defunct. The bottom line is unless we want to live socialistalically and force roles on children like in Germany we need to teach ALL the stuff to ALL the children, and the only way to do that is to blast through the material with tons of homework, rote learning, after school tutoring, standard testing, etc.

So it is a choice we make, tell everyone what to do from an early age and allow them to focus, or try and teach all the things to everyone, using standard testing to make sure everyone is at least keeping their head above water.

'Hitler Tamed by Prison' (1924)
I also spent time in Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia and all were pretty cheap, but I had Thailand in mind when I wrote my previous comment. They have a retirement visa that means you only need to do visa runs every six months. The only requirements are age (IIRC it was above 50) and a bank account in with, IIRC, around $20K in Baht. I had a medical procedure performed there for which I had been quoted close to $1500 in out of pocket costs beyond what my insurance would cover here in the US. Without insurance, it cost just over $100 there. Dunno if that kind of savings would apply to all medical care, but that's my only data point. Other costs would depend on where you chose to live. Bangkok was more expensive and one of my least favorite places I visited. $2k/mo might be hard there. The islands and south coasts are a lot nicer and $2k/mo is a pretty reasonable target. Chiang Mai was among my favorite cities I visited. $2k/mo is more than you'd need there. Rent is ~$400 and a meal for two is $2-$6. There's a reason why it has a huge expat community...the combination of pretty, comfortable and cheap is hard to beat. For obvious reasons, I can't comment on the cost of an assisted living facility.
What I find interesting about these restoration efforts is that it took far less time to just build the thing from scratch, many decades ago (when technology was not as advanced).
This has always been the case, popular shows and movies always tend to reflect the culture at the time. During the 50's and 60's, the bad guy in every movie was Russian. Vampire and plague movies became popular during the recession to ride the general feeling of unease and lack of control. Now with only a specific demographic watching TV nowadays, of course shows will reflect that group more than others.

>She could just be seeing whether he was a nice guy before them bangin'.

^^^ I find it incredibly sexy when someone attractive does me a nice favor.
So, they give money to people because there are not enough works and then complain because the people don't work.

I get lost somewhere in the reasoning.

There's a long tradition of important advances in knowledge being made by people with an undemanding job [1] [2]. The 19th century university became a hotbed of research because the teaching workload was relatively light and they didn't require that you also did research.

High fantasy
Why has open source been so successful on the CPU then? Branch prediction, say, is no less a patent minefield than GPU framebuffer tiling. Yet gcc and LLVM have no trouble shopping optimizers.

This is an excuse, basically. They just don't want to because they fear revenue lost to compatible implementations.
They probably aren't hiring good people, at least they aren't hiring enough good people. The problem is that there aren't enough "good people" to go around. Challenging PhD programs weed out people who aren't self motivated to succeed. Teacher education programs do not. Most other fields education programs have a hard time doing it.

That advice is basically "just hire great people." No shit. The reason you need management is because that usually isn't possible.
I would think the fact that it is open source as you mentioned is the reason. My question was not meant to criticize just wondering if I missed something that makes these boards a better choice for an application I'm working on. I looked into basic stamp years ago also but the cost of them and my lack of funds at that time forced me to go down the PIC road instead.
That may be true but unlike Adreno, you know Apple does not resell any of the patents to anyone else, so it always stay contained to Apple's products. Given how much revenue they can take, it's a very tempting business agreement.

Experience (across many open source projects) is that the majority of students are gone at the end of summer. The long term benefits you cite are great when they exist, but for a project they just don't happen.

Most students seem to treat GSOC as a way of getting experience for the commercial world, with no intent to sticking with the project long term. There is nothing wrong with this, and it is a good thing that there are mentors willing to put in effort to help these students. However this is NOT good for the project itself.

> But it's excellent at justifying a caste system

exactly. the managerial class claims dominion over the rest of us, and then swiftly constructs a rigid social system that locks in their position on top of it. this necessarily includes promulgation of unfounded myths and beliefs taken on faith to support the ossification of the system.

Latchel | Senior Web Developer | Seattle, WA (South Lake Union) | Full-time, Onsite, Relocation, http://latchel.com/

Latchel tracks and coordinates maintenance for property management companies. We use their existing vendors if they have them and find vendors if they do not. We see this marketplace differently than other companies in this field -- most companies focus on software-only solutions or purely manual coordination, which does not scale. At Latchel we use technology to make our internal operations much more efficient, but develop to the level our customers' users are comfortable with. After only a two months of operation, we're more than 3x more efficient than the industry standard for maintenance coordination. Join our small and growing team and bring technology to the technologically challenged property management space.

Our interview process has a small code review exercise followed by behavioral and culture fit interview and lunch or dinner. You can view the code review exercise here: https://github.com/latchel/code-challenge/pull/6

Languages: Angular.js (1.x), PHP (Laravel 5), PostgreSQL

Notes: We offer equity and medical, dental, vision and relocation to Seattle.

If you'd like to learn more about the opportunity, problem space, and the team, email me: will@latchel.com

Alternatively, you can complete the code review exercise to apply.

There are many many companies that will track MAC addresses, you don't just expose them then connected to a network you expose them constantly (along with a lot of other potentially identifiable data [hotspots previously connected to]). [1]

While a mac address isn't personally identifiable it can be used as a tracking mechanism. MAC X was seen at place Y and place Z etc... Combine with some fun data exploration of hotspots you've connected to (and other phones that have also connected to the same hotspots) and you can get some interesting results like MACs 1, 2, 3 have all been at the best western while 1 and 3 have also both been on network Y which is located in the general vicinity of this address. (I can't for the life of me find the Defcon video of this, was maybe Defcon 20 or 21).

"All applications running on AppStream are based in the cloud, so they require no processing power on the target device, with all resources, including storage needs, provided by Amazon." - italics added for emphasis

Yes, comparing Mother Jones to Infowars is not fair. Mother Jones has some high quality investigative journalists like Shane Bauer.

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/06/cca-private-pris...

Infowars is amusing though. I wouldn't have necessarily predicted their alignment with Trump 10 years or so ago when I first became aware of Alex Jones. The old Alex Jones even had some liberal tendencies, at times.
There are strong arguments in the "this time is different" side.

When jobs are lost because technology, the new jobs are created in fields where technology can't compete. Until now that was intellectual work.

MarketInvoice is the VC-backed peer-to-peer fintech platform that’s building the modern backbone of the economy.

Our platform uses the peer-to-peer approach to provide the day-to-day operational financing for companies as varied as mobile development agencies, food brands and construction firms.

We’re the largest startup in our space worldwide and already providing £30 million/month to small businesses. It's a £100bn/year market which is dominated by legacy lenders and banks with complex processes and shady practices. We’re bringing transparency and simplicity to the market.

All roles have equity options with low strike price and employee friendly terms.

We use a standardized candidate review/interview process to ensure we treat every candidate fairly and minimize implicit biases.

I have heard that ARM has not been too pleased with IMG buying MIPS and competing directly with ARM.

Perhaps ARM would license their GPU patents to Apple and provide some IP protection.

Apple could also license patents from AMD. They don't compete directly.
