I've also been standing at my desk for the last 3 weeks. I put my screen on a speaker, and my keyboard and mouse on some stacks of books.

For the first few days, my lower back hurt like hell, but the pain went away after a week or so. When I used to sit at my desk all day, I wouldn't eat very much. But since I started this, my appetite has doubled and I feel a lot healthier.

I'm only 22, but I'm a bit overweight (NZ overweight, not US overweight), and I think that small changes like this can really affect your health in the future. I feel like I'm tackling back problems before they have a chance to start. So if you're thinking about it, I'd recommend it.
Yeah - I can't be the first person whose had this "give me cash or I'll post negative reviews" scam. What can you say - the world is full of disreputable people.

Part of the blog post was about setting the record straight, and part of it was also to remind other people in similar situations they're not alone when this kind of thing happens. It's effectively bullying, and the worst part of bullying is suffering in silence.

To be fair I didn't think I was trolling but I can completely understand why you think I was. I could only talk about things I as knew them to be. Whether that makes me an ass or an idiot I don't care. I did want to hear a good argument as why I was wrong and again I appreciate your reply.

EDIT: My original comment was really just meant to be humorous I am sure know why since you are aware of Perl's syntax. It did make me a lot of money at a time but nevertheless I stand by what I said as that is the best advice I could give myself right now.
I'm not saying they are, but I'm sure if the structure was destroyed by a sub-letter there is a good chance the landlord's insurer would allege the tenant was negligent.
This is potentially very, very good but given the previous US immigration mess (you can come there fast, easily and cheaply but only illegally) and the current state of Washingtons politics I, for one, am not holding my breath. At. All.

Meanwhile Chile is busy importing its own start-up culture and it is looking very, very tempting.
It would be nice if you added "for MacOSX" to the title next time, would save me a click in vain.
I watched the show first and it made me want to read the remaining books.

It was quite an interesting experience, being able to place faces and voices from the show onto book characters as I read along.

And there are no moving objects in this demo. Voxel animations are much harder than poly animations.

Then there is memory. The elephant is looking great, no doubt about that. But I think you will need a lot of space for it. On a PC this might work, but I'm not sure it can be used on consoles.
I'm not sure hiring a cracker like Comex is an easy decision for any big corporation, especially for a company as tidy as Apple. Thanks to him they're probably spending big bucks on legal fees and losing valuable sleeping hours reviewing those exploits (which is a good thing anyway). Not to mention PR headaches he has caused. OTOH, Comex work helps boost iPhone sales among techies. I know people who chose Apple over Android just because they could jailbreak it.

It probably wouldn't be an easy decision for Comex either... I recall that hacker that turned down Sony's offer. What could happen to your hacker freedom once you're at your employer's mercy? And if you leave Apple someday, forget about jailbreaking any other Apple device for as long as you live due NDA's and all the legal stuff he would have sign.

Krugman discuss, well, why you are a judging hypocr.. cough, a bit harsh. :-)

Edit: Let me put it this way. A millennia ago, my ancestors made today's Afghanistan look like a cosy and peaceful place. Now, it is a bit different -- a welfare state where there haven't been war for a couple of centuries. Both situations are inside the range of human behaviour/nature. The trick is to organise things so society works and so that it gets better over time. So few ways of doing things really works, so it is a bit funny when you complain about just those, from a moral perspective.

It varies a lot. From what I've seen, two is most common and more than 5-6 is a bit odd. More than about 8-10 is hard for sociological reasons.

How well the team integrates and works together and whether or not you have adequate skill coverage is more important than the exact number.
Does that mean making O-1 more streamlined?

Yes, you may have a really (REALLY) rough idea of the lower bound of the P/E ratio. However, the going concern is that it is over- not under-valued, so that estimate is useless. Also, we (I) have no idea of what their net income picture looks like, so the upper bound of the P/E could be in the clouds. Last, P/E valuation is useful insofar that we can compare it to its competitors.

If it's compelling enough, it won't matter.

But I see no point in putting up extra barriers for your potential-might-be-interested customers. The previous thread did a fine job explaining that having to do currency conversions will put many people off. An uncommon currency for most of the world will just make it worse.

As a European, I have an approximate idea how much GBP and USD are worth. I have no clue about CHF.

I'm not sure you realize this, but it's possible to travel to Switzerland and never pay anything in CHF. Almost all shops accept EUR. Selling a product online and not doing so is weird at the very least.
There's no tax strategy here. Perhaps if Jobs found a way to pay less than the tax rate for dividends, this exciting headline would make sense, but he didn't. The two percentages have nothing to do with each other.

I realize the author wants to show that dividend investing lets one keep more of one's money in the long run than by taking out a large salary each year, but Jobs could do that because he bought Pixar at low prices and grew it (if he bought it when it was really expensive, he would have to come up with the money which means income or capital gains events.) He didn't really choose between income and stock each year.

Should have gone here instead. I'm pretty sure that extortion is against Twitter's TOS.

My understanding is, "drawing" (in-view composition) is largely, if not completely, software (Quartz2D). Composition between views is (can be, at least) handled by the GPU; and that may well include animation of views. I don't know how absolutely accurate it is to say that such composition 'uses OpenGL'. It may use hardware that provides OpenGL functionality, but that isn't quite the same thing (Quartz composition could talk directly to the GPU using it's native command format for instance).
I happen to agree with you here - its almost like the "uncanny valley" for applications.

Since when is Steve Jobs known for a 'very lavish lifestyle'? I thought he was known for being quite frugal, did I miss something there?
Regarding the technology used. In this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWujsO2V2IA you can see lots of artifacts and also talk of point cloud data, so it is clearly not raytracing but rather point data rendering. All the repetition seen is because of the memory constraints. The point data is probably preprocessed and compressed in numerous ways, which makes it very difficult to do animations. But as others have mentioned, even as a last resort they should be able to just use this technology to render terrain/background and then use polygons for moving/animated objects. This would probably also utilized current technology better as the polygon pipeline would not just sit there unused.
When? Oh, 20-odd years ago! Rob Pike's sam editor (http://sam.cat-v.org/) is architected as two components. One is the graphical front end that typically runs on your local machine, the other implements the actual editing functions and can be run remotely over a shell connection. You can open a huge list of files and perform complex editing operations on them without downloading all the content in to the graphical front end, because the front end only needs the parts of the files that you have displayed in open windows.
Studies over the past 15 years have consistently indicated that class size has little (sometimes even converse) relation to student success rate.

Do any of those studies consider how class size affects the top or bottom 5% of students (as measured by academic potential rather than present academic achievement)? I suspect that those students at the ends of the bell curve would benefit more from reduced class sizes, but their needs are hidden in the statistics by the broad majority in the middle.

This is the way every society goes - Milton Friedman pointed out when confronted with how horrible living in the cities at the time of Charles Dickens was that the reason people moved to the cities was that it was far worse in the countryside.

Also the reason companies outsource isn't to provide the workers with great work environments (that may or may not happen) but to save money.
To me it still doesn't matter. It could take one second to load a binary, the emulator is completely unusable they way it currently is built. Android is already into it's 3rd revision and they somehow have managed to completely ignore this pink elephant.

If the best advice you can tell people is not to use it, use a real device then why bother include it at all.
Angels are likely to want to see a prototype, market research, and some proof of traction if possible. Particularly since you're abnormally young.

Also, becoming the single largest stock owner of a company like Disney is probably not a strategy that generalizes well.

"The ideal company would have two or three founders. We'll consider those with four or five. We're reluctant to accept one-person companies, though we have funded a couple."

If there's a strong justification, there's no reason not to have four cofounders. If it's just because that many people wanted to collaborate, you might want to take a hard look about who is going to commit to contribute what. To go with a common illustration, founding means "you're the pig" (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/The_Chicken_a...).

It could arguably be a tax strategy if he received a dividend from his Apple shares in lieu of a salary, although that ignores the fact that dividends have been taxed already because they're paid from post-tax profits. Even that isn't a new thing, directors in the UK (and no doubt the US too) have been doing that for years to avoid national insurance contributions.
My Emacs history only goes back 5 years.

A number of days ago, I downloaded Textmate and started playing with it. In the beginning I almost wanted to just delete it and go back to Emacs. But as time went on, its simplicity became increasingly pleasant; so last night, I purchased a license.

To me, it's good to know that innovation in text editing is not over. I don't think that Textmate is the last word by any means but it is a beautiful tool and I'm curious to see how Chocolat stacks up.

Is it feasible to apply these basic HFT principles to the Bitcoin market? I assume it would be easier than the "real" markets because you aren't competing against the big players.
This is a very muddled and misleading article. It reads like this is a clever way for Steve to dodge tax on his Apple compensation. He isn't paying only 15% on his Disney dividends "instead of" 35% on his Apple compensation. They've got nothing whatever to do with each other. Apple pays no dividends and his Disney holdings are completely independent of his Apple holdings or compensation.

Defibrillator for stalled software
I would agree with the commenter linjoco on the site:

>This can't work for the simple reason that most of the Fed's holdings of Treasury securities are pledged to secure its note issues. If you look at one of the bills in your wallet, you'll notice it says "Federal Reserve Note." The face value of each of these notes is a liability of the issuing Reserve Bank, which by law must be fully collateralized by Bank assets. According tho the Fed's annual report, at the end of 2010 the 12 Federal Reserve Banks together held $1.066 trillion in Treasury securities, of which $925 billion was pledged to secure their note issues. So for the Fed to return these securities to the Treasury for cancellation would require the Fed to recall 98% of the U.S. currency in circulation.

Of course, Congress could amend the Federal Reserve Act to remove the collatel requirement, turning Federal Reserve notes into unsecured liabilities, but then you run into a different problem. Taking a trillion dollars off the asset side of the Reserve Banks' collective balance sheet would require a corresponding debit to the other side. Their biggest liability is deposits (i.e., reserves held at the Fed by the nation's banks, $968 billion), followed closely by Federal Reserve notes in circulation ($941 billion), then funds held for the U.S. Treasury ($239 billion); you couldn't reduce any of these liabilities. That means the Fed would have to take a charge against capital, but the Reserve Banks collectively have only $53 billion in capital, so writing off their Treasury holdings would put them over a trillion dollars in the hole.

What do you think of an insolvent central bank? Me neither. Paul, of course, is a crackpot and may actually want to have to Fed declared insolvent as a way of getting rid of it, but that doesn't mean that we should buy his schemes.

So to me it seems to weird to hold the place I was born as anything special.

Vim ships with this feature, it's in a plugin called netrw and enabled by default.

Also if you use any desktop linux system, the default text editor can probably open files on remote machines (with a wide variety of protocols), just enter the url. In Gnome it's called the Gnome virtual file system (GVFS).
Having your company pay you only $1 to avoid paying taxes is definitely a strategy when other equivalent CEOs are getting paid millions per year.

I don't understand why your beloved apple won't throw in a $1000 monthly stipend for neurodamaged workers and close this horrible issue forever.
Financially, it means considerably smaller than for me tossing a poor beggar a buck, and I do that when I can, even if I'm not a cause of their poorness, I ain't blamed for their misfortune and I won't be praised if I do.

Also, why won't you Apple users boycott buying Apple until they take care of the issue in question? Other than being unable to function without the drug you're addicted to?
Totally agree, as I say: well done for getting it off your chest. If people don't speak up about it things are unlikely to change. Though obviously if there is any justification whatsoever to the claim scratching that itch may be bad news.

The article never claimed that status quo can't continue for some time.

It showed quite clearly that this time is bound to between half a century and a few hundred at most.

After that our economy ceases to function even though we would be enjoying incredible prosperity.

Who doesn't talk about race? Every major conference I've seen on this issue discusses race. After unions, it's probably the single biggest issue discussed among policy makers in ths US.

Maybe the OP was suggesting that the typical discussion of race focuses on the racial achievement gap, while ignoring the performance difference between American immigrants of an individual race and their fellow students in their native countries.

It's not just you, I'm getting that too.
That and I don't know of anyone (outside of using them as particles) that has successfully created collision models with voxels in real time. The collision calculations of just a few of their scanned rocks and a ground plane would be plenty complex - a whole scene perhaps even a little insane given today's specs.

They might have to resort to polygonal collision models in the same way that polygonal games end up using low-poly collision models (with the same pitfalls such as moonwalking, blocked projectiles or mystery-bouncing).

Lifetime free web based project management tool with 1 G disk space, 5 users, Really?
Yes, its true. Waterflow is a new player on the web based project management tools market. Maybe they just want people to start to use their product like evernote did on their product. I have tested it, it is solid good product. Personally, I love the Rss idea, you don’t need to log in to your project management portal, you can see all your project progresses in your Rss reader.

Shared memory can give strong performance advantages that the alternatives don't have. You pay for this in implementation complexity. Each can decide how much he or she wants to pay.

The price could be lowered by some trivially better support functions. Why for example C++0x doesn't have lockless concurrent containers in the standard library is beyond me.
I think you did the right thing in defending yourself.

Suppose I was to stumble across an argument like that about any product/startup/business/whatever I'll almost certainly believe the one who argues in good grammer, without spelling mistakes and without vulgar tones. I think you did the best one can do.
