> Shift and add are both one cycle on all modern CPUs.

It's common for variable-length shifts to be slow on modern CPUs once you move outside of the x86 space. On the PS3's PPU and the Xbox 360's PowerPC cores they are very slow and to be avoided.

> I think this might be different on the Pentium 4

What was particularly slow on the P4 were variable-length shifts and rotates. With an immediate operand they still had 1 cycle throughput. That sounds good until you realize that the P4 had a double-pumped ALU design (as you also mentioned) and it had two ALUs. Whereas shifts and rotates could only execute on the general integer unit.
They need to rethink this. Obama saw a 40k drop in twitter followers last month after posting 100 tweets in 6 hours. People like being connected and involved, but not played.

Cool. And does your startup help with this process as well, like formatted tweets, emails, messages?

Also, it would be important to be able to see who is helping the most and how much more they are helping than others. Did you address this as well?
Does this really make sense?

They say it's 'specifically structured for the Groupon deal', which means it's not taught like a normal class.

1) Does Groupon allow this? Selling a 'discount', but actually giving an inferior product instead?

2) Would this convince people to go there, considering it's going to be inferior to the normal experience?

This is another bias. For many people, such as myself, immigration is not "leaving one's comfort zone". For some it might even be their comfort zone.

If you run a program on a virtual machine, then it is not "running on your computer". It is "running on a virtual machine, running on your computer", and the security implications are different. Law #1 still holds. Especially if you are unwilling to simply take as given the perfection of the virtual machine... which history says is not a wise thing to take as a given.

That's also which qixxiq is wrong in the GP post; it's only true if you assume that Apple's security is perfect. As a practical matter as a user it's a tolerable approximation, especially if you have no personal assets of value on your phone, but if you're really concerned about security it is not something you can assume.

The differential between crappy hotels and nice ones is maybe a factor of 4-8, and often around 2x

With discounted coach vs full fare coach, often 10x, and for coach vs first, another 10x (maybe 5x if negotiated).

I have a fondness for nice Starwood hotels (since I get a suite for the lowest rate), or luxury rentals via airbnb, but still stick to upgradable coach and then pay for SWUs, even if a client offers business class. Marginal luxury dollars can go to better meals (even a great meal, without alcohol, is 20-100), then renting luxury cars (50-150 per day vs 25-50), then hotels (200-300 outside NYC), then upgrading flights (500 or so to go business internationally) and choice of hotel/airline for points.

Little things like having an exec or ops person personally spend time with you vs fending for yourself cost little and seem like the first dollars you should spend, especially at a startup, when dealing with clients, investors, potential hires, etc.
...what?

I can understand wanting to spread a message, but this is a bit much. When you give up access to your account you give up the ability to agree or disagree. You are basically saying "I am a mouthpiece for your views, regardless of whether I agree with what you might say".

This doesn't go for Al Gore either; it goes for any kind of political movement. Innovative, but rather disturbing too.
It's common for variable-length shifts to be slow on modern CPUs once you move outside of the x86 space. On the PS3's PPU and the Xbox 360's PowerPC cores they are very slow and to be avoided.

They're hardly modern CPUs -- even outside the x86 space, slow variable-shifts are pretty rare. They're horrifically crippled, with the PS3's PPU not being intended to be used for any serious processing (supplemented by the SPEs), and the Xbox 360's CPU just being plain bad. Fast variable-shifts are critical for bitstream reading -- the end result of this crippling is that despite having 3 highly-clocked cores, and being supplemented by GPU processing, the Xbox 360 still can't play Blu-ray video.
I think I am alone in being a "power user" and loving the ribbon. I totally buy into the design philosophy of it, and I now do things with office that I couldn't or wouldn't do before.

I think there is a bit of false transference. I program therefore I'm an expert. I can honestly say that my ability at C++ or Emacs never helped me figure out how to do anything in Office. Of course, I use it rarely enough that every time might as well be the first time.

Perhaps I'm odd in that most people make deeper use of Office more often than I do?
It's a short hop to this from the last FB privacy issue where peoples' images were going to be hooked up to ads for things they had Like'd. I don't think it's quite as good of a selling method for Gore's people to say "Put your face on whatever we want to say (for a good cause, and also the children)," but the appeal to FB and advertisers/charities is the same.

At the end of the day, Gore is renting a mailing list. That's it's a list of mailing sources is just moving the agreement one-step up the chain of association. I agree: sad.
I found NERTree really akward and was one of the reasons why I originally had trouble switching to VIM from textmate.

Its best to use something like PeepOpen, command-t, fuzzyfinder to open files. If you want tree structure I just use terminal and aliased:

alias l='ls -AlGFh'

Or use the vim directory navigation.

VIM also looks much nicer with just a single file open. The left panel for NERDTree looks hacky.

I'd say this is different however. You can always choose which EFF shirt you wear and whether to wear it or not. With this, you give up access and any means to choose what is said.

Think of it like wearing an EFF shirt where there is an e-ink display that changes the message at any time and you can only take the shirt off after the message has been said and the damage is done.
> They're hardly modern CPUs

They're annoying to program but why aren't they modern? You're just redefining terms to try to win an argument. They were intentionally scraped down to lower power consumption and manufacturing costs. That doesn't make them not modern.
If you run a program on a virtual machine, then it is not "running on your computer".

I strongly disagree. This is an equivocation of the words "running on your computer," though I understand the technical reason why you might say what you did.

Honestly, this article comes across as poor excuse-making by Microsoft for not having decent security.

Especially if you are unwilling to simply take as given the perfection of the virtual machine... which history says is not a wise thing to take as a given.

From what I can tell, process virtual machines can provide a very good sandbox that allows you to safely run arbitrary code, modulo whatever permissions you explicitly give it.

Yes, writing a fully correct virtual machine is surely very difficult, but software can be secured eventually by trial and error, especially if the codebase is kept small, which you can (in principle) do with a process virtual machine.

If you have citations to show me why I'm wrong on this aspect, I'd appreciate it, as I have a genuine intellectual interest in VM security.
For the last time, power users can make it look like this http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/communit...

There's more shortcuts than ever now. Power users need to realize that the default look should be oriented towards the normal user to make things more discoverable, since power users are the ones than can easily configure things to their liking unlike regular users.

When you're designing an interface for more than 1 billion users, you have to make a lot of trade-offs.

Ironically, the fact that his real email was used actually saved him. OkCupid doesn't show email addresses to users, so the person who created the account could have used imtrickingyouintorapingsomeone@gmail.com and nobody on the site would know. Even worse, he never would have known a group of men were invited to rape him. At least this way, he knew about it almost instantly.
iOS does not have a general purpose "permissions" system. It does, however, ask for permission (via a modal popup with an explanation) before performing some things that you might to deny, such as accessing your photo library or physical location. (However, most likely for legacy reasons, the Contacts isn't protected in the same way.)

It's also enforced through the review process: in addition to checking for stability and compatibility, the iOS review process also checks for malware and some data theft. This is also helped by the fact that iOS apps cannot dynamically load code after the review process, so you can be pretty sure that Apple at least took a quick look at what you install.

It's far from foolproof — I'm sure a dedicated attacker could sneak something through the review process and steal your contacts — but nothing has happened so far (at least as far as I know).

(As a side note about the lack of a true "permissions" system: having the app request access when it makes sense (Twitter only asks for location when I tap the geotag button, for example) means that I know why the app is asking, rather than on Android where I've seen frantic messages in the description to explain why the app needs some theoretically-privacy-invading permission, even if it's only used for a minor feature, since just asking for that permission scared users away. Neither system is perfect, but a contextual system where you can allow or deny individual permissions (as on iOS) combined with full coverage of what permissions might be wanted to be controlled (as on Android) would work pretty well.)
Why exactly is it obvious?
A few things:

- Note that each dimension is optional
- Country selector is grey, looking like it's disabled
- Change to a tile gallery so you can use larger pictures.
- Results should be listed with their actual size.
Getting a baking pan when searching for 24"x24", and
having the pan be listed with those dimensions makes it
hard to find the furniture I really want to see.
- On that note, maybe segment the products by
kitchen/accessory/bathroom/etc...I'm not sure how Ikea
handles that.

Excellent job, though! I bought my car a few years ago based on size, and I was wishing for (and planning on building) something like this. Heck, "everythingbysize.com" is probably available. :) Suffice it to say, I wish there were more attribute-based search engines.

EDIT: Hmm, is it only searching kitchen products?

My mom is a Canadian immigrant to the U.S. (fled as a young teenager).

And, putting on my evil marketer hat, the goal here isn't to spread a message; it's to grow the size of the list. To use the network effect built into these social sites to its maximum potential. If this time if you have 400K or so participants, your leverage those in the right fashion? Next time you should easily be in the millions. The mailing list potential alone could be incredible. You could just harvest email addresses and network connections, then wait six months and send out a mailer that kind of starts off like "Joe Smith referred us to you because he knows you're concerned about X....." And then, if you were really evil, you'd pick up interests from all the friend links and incorporate that info as well.

I want to be clear. I'm not saying these guys are doing any of that. I'm saying that once you agree to be a zombie like this, the effects can be very far-reaching indeed.
I've always been amused by family trees in the old world.

I was born in brazil but my great grandfather came as a war refugee fron Sweden (he had two brothers: one stayed in Sweden and the other fled to the Us). At that time there were refugees from all over europe arriving in latin america so it is very common where I	live for someone to bear family names from 2 different countries (my wife has german and portuguese last names, for example).

Hence it is very difficult to trace our family trees past a few generations (although my family was very lucky to find relatives living in the Us and Sweden recently).
But Opera Mini for the iPad came out even later than iOS 4.2 (if I did my googling correctly).

It's funny. I first answered "3" because that would be the correct answer if I were in my home country. Then I recalled that I've been living in Japan for 8 years, so I'm a sort of immigrant and should answer "0".

The thing is, Japan is far from being an immigrant country like US, Canada or Brazil. For instance, you don't automatically get permanent residence even if you're married to a Japanese citizen. Even ethnic Koreans who were born here, have Japanese blood and speak only Japanese have a different status. There's no such thing as anti-discrimination laws, etc.

They already operate a CA: look for 'Staat der Nederlanden' in your browser's root certificate list.
Why the tablet form factor is winning
Let's not start cheering just yet. Initially, the government failed to acknowledge the seriousness of the issue, even though browser manufactures revoked trust in the CA. In fact, they successfully pressured Mozilla into accepting Dutch government certificates as trustworthy anyway.

It also kept all public services depending on Diginotar certificates operational, basically telling the public "well, you can't trust them, but feel free to use them anyway".
Completely agreed. With a list of people that agree to spread your message in such a way you could do quite a lot.

However, despite the general apathy about privacy, I think this is something that could very quickly backfire and cause a lot of issues. I'm looking over CAN-SPAM law right now and there are a few long-shot ways this may qualify as unsolicited promotion (though I haven't really dug into the the law far enough to gauge).

The short term ramifications are major media/public push-back. The long term ones are legality, libel and fraud.

But you know that every single one of your 256 great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfathers were at least second generation immigrants?

I'm sorry, but I find that hard to believe.
Two reasons.

First, the existing PKI already hardcodes trust into DNS names. If Libya's registry decides vb.ly is immoral and should be redirected to a server serving up a placeholder page, Violet Blue can't make her site continue working. And they can almost certainly even obtain an X.509 certificate proving that they really do own vb.ly, so that you still get the placeholder page instead of a TLS error page even if you visit the site over https.

Second, the existing PKI grants every CA power over the entire namespace, instead of merely over the names it was established to verify. That means I can't get my intranet site to authenticate properly without granting my company the authority to MITM every site in the world.

As a result of this idiocy, recovering from trust root compromises seems to have gone from being a once-in-a-lifetime catastrophe to a yearly, even monthly catastrophe, to the point that intelligent people think it's important to have a point-and-click UI to recover from it.

In answer to my own question, the ZTE Blade (available as the Orange San Francisco in the UK) looks like an excellent bet.

Decent hardware, free to unlock, easy to root, and only £100. Comes with 2.1 or (not in the UK) 2.2 but is supported by CyanogenMod for 2.3.
HOWTO: Disable DigiNotar digital certificates on Windows
Certainly if I wanted to be more scientific about this, there is a lot I would do differently...

That said, if you go through history, there has seldom been a time when one location or one state remained the dominant force in the world for more than 3 or 4 generations (especially looking at more recent world history). So, another way of posing the hypothesis might be: Is there a "migrant" sub-population within the human species that is both willing to travel to wherever opportunities are to be found and, at the same time, increase the prosperity of those locations when they arrive?

He doesn't need multiple i's nor lengths. The JS example is just a very poor example of coding. (in fact he could of just simplified it further down by having one loop and a variable to the method, to be executed on those pieces.)

They started with this, but ended differently: Friday September 2nd they had a news conference and basically said "for now, it's insecure". DigiD, which is what most consumers will see, had a message saying it couldn't be trusted, till the certificates were replaced sometime saturday or sunday. The timing is a little suspicious though: can imagine they didn't want to do that till the weekend, when not as many business cared, or journalists were around to cover all the details.
