He worked on developing the first electronic computer, becoming one of the world’s first digital programmers. Starting with IBM in 1954, Svigals was the company’s first employee hired for marketing the professional computer. He devised the strategy of selling computer support services and eventually ran IBM’s global marketing system. In the mid-1960s, he conducted initial research on a machine-readable storage medium and became project manager for magnetic stripe cards. Regarded as the father of mag-stripe cards, Svigals brought the technology to the air transport, mass transit and banking industries. Thereafter he became the key figure in establishing national and global standards for magnetic stripe data storage. He has authored 25 books on card technology and banking, and is a leading consultant to the financial industry.

ARM's only advantage over x86 is power usage and licensing costs. In every other factor, x86 absolutely blows it away. Alot of the newer tech coming from intel is very, very sexy as well.

ARM has its place and is making great strides. But I for one wont be buying a ARM apple anytime soon.
Part of this is probably Apple trolling Intel, but this one is pretty believable because Apple generally don't care about protecting their developers' investments, and because they can design ARM chips themselves.
I think this is just a far fetched rumor. But, didn't Microsoft just demo Windows running on ARM and supposedly Windows 8 will be native on both architectures?
Cute. But, no.
Dont they have backup generators? I thought all datacentres did, although I have known them to fail too...
It will take a while for Intel to move Atom to 22nm. They are just moving it to 32nm next year. Normally, that means they would switch to 22nm in 2014, but if they are in a real hurry they'll do it in 2013. But I'm not seeing them doing it any faster than that. Two years is quite a lot of time in the mobile industry. It might be way too late for Intel, then.

Plus, they'll only be able to get close with something like a single core Atom, like they are trying this year. We'll have quad core Cortex A15 chips by then, which means even if Atom catches up in energy efficiency, the ARM chips will be significantly more powerful by then - all at the same price or cheaper than Intel's Atom. So I don't see much incentive for manufacturers to use it.

If Microsoft can move to ARM, so can Apple. ARM chips don't have to beat Intel's most powerful chips from the start. They just need to get good enough for a Macbook Air, and then transition them to the other notebooks once they become more powerful over the coming years.

Advanced commenting systems for WordPress
WordPress has a perfectly adequate commenting system built-in. But it can quickly grow unwieldy and commenting can take up a lot of system resources if you run a high-volume site. That’s why alternative commenting systems such as Disqus (recently integrated on WDD) and Intense Debate have been developed.

I'm not sure what you mean by this: "Plus, they'll only be able to get close with something like a single core Atom, like they are trying this year."

> We'll have quad core Cortex A15 chips by then.

I don't think this is a big deal. Intel already have dual-core Atoms which actually have 4 threads, which are going to be quite competitive out of the box with a quad core ARM chip.

> all at the same price or cheaper than Intel's Atom.

I don't buy this. Intel's fabs can blow the pants off everyone else in terms of yield and cost. The big pile of cash they're sitting will also help.

> Two years is quite a lot of time in the mobile industry

This might be true, but my points were specifically made for laptops and not mobile phone chips.
I don't really seem the problem in his line of questioning.

Isn't this Paul Grahams goto question? Where is the revenue?

I wonder what your expectations actually were for this meeting? And what you imagine pitches would be like if you met with any of the SV heavy hitters.

They won't be any different. Getting people to give you money is hard work, and I get the impression you think the money is easier in SV? So easy in fact VC's don't bother asking questions about revenue and market research.

Plus, you don't even have a signup page? What do you have?

I'd get my ducks in a row before I started asking people for money if I were you.

When I read this, it brought back memories of being back in '98 or so, when I got the first cable modem Charter had to offer. It came in the form of an ISA card that used my existing dialup modem for the upstream and the cable for the downstream, and I'm pretty sure was not DOCSIS compliant as the cable co had to swap all the things out a year later.

It only supported Windows 98 (barely), no NT and definitely no Linux. When it worked though it certainly was fast, but was weird having 10 Mbps down and 33.6Kbps up.

So three cheers for DOCSIS and 2-way cable plants!
Should we really replicate all of our services?
It's important to note that the interesting scenarios described in the article still boil down to a headline like "Countries are still responsible for the misdeeds of their citizens in the networked world." All the scenarios involving war with China (or other countries named in the article) require hostile acts by persons in China (or the other countries) and an inadequate response by the national government.

> This is a pretty big stretch. The Russian language defines 3 tiers of familiarity/address: a nickname for family/friends, a full first name for acquaintances of the same age, and a full first + patronymic name for everyone else. (This is similar to a French person being offended by an overly familiar "Tu" when a "Vous" is appropriate). Moreover, it is not uncommon anywhere to use a nickname in correspondence with friends and colleagues and a full name in more formal situations.

Perelman signed his _papers_ "Grisha Perelman". That's about as formal an occasion for a mathematician as it gets. The paper is the claim for posterity. It's what the next generations of mathematicians will read. It's not impossible to imagine a mathematician who'd sign his mathematical papers as "Bob Green", but then be strongly offended by being so identified in the media, but it's very, very unlikely.

Also, "Grisha" is no more a nickname than "Bob" or "Bill" (that is, they all can be considered nicknames, but aren't usually what we mean by a nickname in its more common sense). They're familiar forms. It's not unheard of for a Russian scientist to adopt their familiar form as the preferential first name, even in formal situations, in English-language cultures. E.g. Misha Verbitsky, Sasha Razborov... you can easily google many more examples.

Obviously I disagree with you about the first link grasping at straws. In particular, mekhmat vs matmekh alone is damning. This difference between the names of the two most prestigious math departments in Moscow vs St. Petersburg is legendary. It's next to impossible for an alumnus of mekhmat to refer to his alma mater as matmekh or vice versa.

> Apparently, the Israeli paper was able to find the interviewer... not particularly surprising given that he had moved to Israel in the 90's.

They didn't find him in the sense that they weren't able to contact him, as they explain; I didn't mean to claim that the name or the person were nonexistent.

Because Google is amoral - corporate "persons" don't have the free will necessary for meaningfully characterizing them as moral actors - the idea that Google is ontologically good or evil is a category error (given the assumption that good and evil are meaningful terms).

That's not to say that a corporate "person" cannot be used as a tool or means for moral agents to commit acts of kindness or commit harm. But moral responsibility for those acts lies with the moral agents who run the company or otherwise make the decisions which lead to such states of affairs.

There is nothing in the scenario which you describe which is evil so long as one accepts that a corporation maximizing its profits is a good, i.e. characterizes corporate "persons" as moral agents rather than a force which moral agents possessing free will may harness for their acts.

I will add that the fundamental premise of the scenario is that Google would create a walled garden and give it preference over open networks such as the internet when providing information to users of its services.

The application of ethics to such scenarios is left as an exercise for the reader.

You mentioned that you don't have any interest in real estate, which should not even be part of your plans (despite the fact that it may rake you in some dough for the time being).

I think you should go with option 1, as this favors more of what you wanted to be doing. I believe more chance of success lies in doing what you are passionate about.

Aside from the parody, this kind of "plain English" contract always backfires.

While most contracts are written by people who secretly wish we still spoke Latin, the real purpose of contracts is to write down expectations with extreme precision so that the parties have some guidance when it comes to worst-case scenarios.

When you try to use "handshake deal" language in a contract, it still needs to be as precise as possible.

Screw real estate. I had a friend with the same plan and he didn't even pass the test. I know a lot of Realtors that quit because the money wasn't good enough.

Why not move to the bay area, join some hacker groups/meetups, and work to support yourself while you pick up the skills of either biz dev or programming.

I'm 32 with a wife and 3 kids, a mortgage, and a shitload of debt. You don't realize how lucky you are to be 20 and agile.

That is exactly what I though. I don't know enough about decompilation to argue with OP, but it is my impression that people are too focused on making something that is always guaranteed to work.

They've already switched platforms twice (68XX->PPC, PPC->i386) pretty successfully, why can't they ship ARM/i386 fat binaries?

Also, this is the whole endgame of the A* series of chips that are currently in the phone and iPad. Whose to say that the A5 or A6 won't be multicore laptop/desktop chips? Apple would be fools to tie their future Intel's roadmap if they can possibly avoid it. It's not like Apple buys in sufficient quantities to force Intel to meet their specific requirements in chip designs, and even if they did, there would still be a year turnaround to get something from Intel to market. Imagine if the iPad was dependent on the Intel Atom? We never would have seen the iPad.

(btw. an iPad based on the Atom was an actual early prototype according to a friend of a friend that I have no reason to disbelieve).

there are major costs to support legacy and incompatible plattforms, costs mostly paid in additional workload and testing, loss of "agility" and speed. it's very impressive how far node.js has come in a very short time. yeah maybe the raise in market-share (and additional developers for the ecosystem) will be more valuable than the costs, maybe not.

i, as an egoistical dev-on-mac, would rather see a stable 1.0 for mac/unix soon, than a 0.8 for max/unix/win within the same timeframe.

as a thought experiment: would native max os x apps be as sophisticated as they are now, if all devs had decided to port them to windows (xp / vista / 7 / ...), too.

I don't see why you are obliged to use more of the service than you want to. If I buy a train ticket from DC-Boston and hop off in NYC, no one's going to care. Airlines get special treatment?

What if I had left a bag on the train? There seems to be some issue with leaving it on a plane and losing it. As long as I'm not a terrorist (which I'm not) and they have screened my bags, I don't see the issue. On the flip side, the airline doesn't really care if they lost your bag and don't know where it is. The bag not being tied to you does not put a bomb in it.

Plus, people travel on planes that their bags aren't on all the time and we have no indicator that people doing bad things are more likely to want to be off the plane than on it.
Show HN: My embeddable C/C++ webserver
This webserver is the most complete part of a high-level, cross-platform networking library I've been working on. The rest of the examples: https://github.com/udp/lacewing/tree/master/examples

ajax.cc is probably the most interesting - it's an example of long-poll AJAX with jQuery and Lacewing::Webserver as a backend. Lacewing uses epoll/kqueue/IOCP rather than a traditional select/poll approach, so it should scale quite well.

I've been developing Lacewing pretty much in private for quite a while, now - it's quite daunting when I start thinking about having to write all the documentation and such, but this morning I just thought "screw it, it's going on github, undocumented or not". It might as well be public while I'm getting it all together...
If you are referring to events like the Russian Revolution I think it's more accurate to say that a bunch of thugs who said they were acting for "the people" got in control (somewhat to their own surprise) and did anything they deemed necessary to maintain their grip on power - mostly by killing anyone who could conceivably be an opponent.
