I would look at the mean and variance in each column and cluster by that. My intuition is that the variance in Temperature measured in Fahrenheit will be greater then that of weight in Kg.

Checking it seems that this is borne out. So is the data real? What is being assessed here?

Interesting to see that people prefer std dev to variance for this problem.

I don't know what kind of crappy restaurant they're modeling in this game, but you can make much better money at most places waiting tables than what they are claiming.

Also, I like how every decision, no matter if its a good one or not ends up with a "Surprise! You made a good choice that should be free in real life, but we're going to charge you an arbitrary cost anyway!"

When I lived on less than this, I sure don't remember these oddball things. And obviously cheaper choices, living further out, are still discusses like they are penalties, "but you still have to pay for gas!" Duh, but it's still a ton cheaper.

Opting in to Health Insurance = you don't get sick, but opting out and I got sick twice.

2) Pay car insurance

3) Pay both

4) Ask a friend

Hence my second suggestion, a separate server akin to what AWS's post offered. Essentially the encryption server will get encrypted data, de-crypt it and then sends it back to production server (vice versa). It's not public facing, etc. Which means the attacker has to try to compromise the second server that's more locked down.

Or are you saying evil maid attacks can breach the VM they're on?
How is that ?

They don't let you use Gnome 2.x so in fact they are using the same strategy that Ubuntu is using: forcing users to use what they what them to use.

You also can easily switch to Gnome 3 on Ubuntu. At least there is a "classic mode" on Ubuntu.

Gnome guys were the ones that behave wrong here, with their pride, they changed a lot of things(in a wrong way) and did not let their users to vote giving them the option to use it.

E.g I need compiz cube, when you give a talk people watching need to know what you did with the screen. Every time I talked with devs about it they say that "you don't really need that, it is a flashy thing". Sorry I need it way more than "auto logging on IMs".

The new "cube equivalent" both on gnome and Unity crash on my computers.

I wonder how much this will impact the accelerator scene, since a lot of accelerators which have tried to replicate the YC model are viable mainly because there are substantial sums of money floating about to "accelerate" startups towards. If so I wonder what the lag will be between VC money becoming harder to obtain and accelerator programs reducing their intakes.
An interesting problem. My first guess is that teenagers' weights distribution is two-peaked (boys & girls) but this assumes that the teenagers are around the same age and that the peaks are far enough to be detectable in the samples. I can't be arsed to check this hypothesis though :-)

Anyway, a serious approach to this problem would require comparing against solid real-life data. Off the bat assumptions about distributions of real life data are often very wrong.

I wonder how much of this applies to Europe. Interest rates are extremely low at the moment, and will likely remain so for a year or two. Thanks to these low rates, banks spent two years hoarding cash, and are now starting to lend it back to businesses and consumers. The currency market is undervaluing GBP and Euro, which will help exports and global services based here.

From a purely monetary point of view, the next 12 months will be great for businesses in UK... and possibly in the Eurozone as well, if the Greek bomb is somehow defused (or something else diverts media attention from it for a few months).

Pretty sure there is no VM involved... there'd be no reason to virtualize your storage nodes.

But yeah, you are right that if you kept the keys and did the encryption on the second server, you'd have to do the attack on the second server; but that's really just moving the problem around.

World's Cheapest Tablet
Normally I'd be the first to bash the iPhone, but this hardly seems like a balanced or constructive article does it?
The game is unrealistic, just like any games, but makes a good statement.

Personally, I would have liked a little for the game is provide room for improvement (over a period of time) but also provide some attachment to ones choices. It should have been made like Oregon Trail.

What the game does not really provide is the emotional baggage that comes with many of these decisions.

For example, when asked what to do with the pet, I took him to the shelter (financially the best choice). In real life, I am not sure I could make that decisions (disclaimer I do not own any pets in RL).

Similarly, with the best friends wedding in another state: In the game, flying to that wedding is a bad choice, but in RL, you would try to borrow money and go anyway.

When you are poor, it is really hard to delay gratification, even though that is the best choice in the long run(and we all know what happens in the long run).

Game should have been over a period of one year or so (roughly the period of the Nickel and Dimed and Scratch Beginnings).

As I live in the Netherlands, a lot of interesting stuff that happens online during the day in the US, happens in the night for us. While my GF is taking a shower and dressing, I'm usually still in bed checking Twitter, Reeder and Reddit for what happend during my sleep.

Then I'm off to the shower (no shower means waking up takes longer) and will sometimes have breakfast with my GF. Most of the time however, I just drink something and leave home for my one hour commute to Amsterdam (by train), during which I read up on online stuff (or continue reading a book) on my iPad.

I usually show up at work somewhere between 8.30 and 9.30 am. Once my laptop is hooked up to my screen and everything is ready for work, I grab a glass of fresh tea and a cracker with cheese, and I'm off hacking :-).

Additionally, I work from home two days of the week. The routine is a lot simpler then: after having checked the latest news from my bed, I jump into my clothes and start hacking right away. Shower and breakfast occur somewhere between 11am and 2pm. For some reason I'm awake and ready to hack much faster when I'm working from home. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

TL;DR: quite a lengthy routine on the days I commute. When working from home going from bed to hacking takes me ~2 minutes

The comparison chart was created by Samsung, but if you actually look at it, they're pretty well balanced on hardware.

If you take the polished iOS UI and apps into account, you'll see that Apple has nothing to worry about -- yet.

But, the Android competition is clearly catching up. Yesterday I played around with a Galaxy II, and it's a very nice device with a huge screen. Based on my 1-minute consumer impression, the major downside compared to the iPhone is Android, which still isn't as nice and smooth as iOS.

Having ties to Samsung i can confirm that they are trying to push their device because of its alleged hardware superiority.

What is true is that the Galaxy S2 has had these specs for the last half year...

The S3 isn't that far away anymore and before that the Nexus Prime will come knocking, so from a hardware standpoint the iPhone 4s is outdated on launch, which is quite sad in comparison to how advanced the first models were.
Thumb-Toe Replacement Surgery Not Exactly a Success
That's all right, and understandable. Seems my question was not completely wasted, though. It generated a fairly interesting discussion above. :)
The biggest comparison I am worried about, battery talk time, is equal everything else is gravy.

Given I have a small investment in iOS apps and teaching my girlfriend to use a new phone will be a PITA I shall be sticking with iPhone . . . for now.
Except for its sublime touch screen when it was introduced, the iPhone was never really about ticking off specs. Very much like the Mac has never been about specs in recent years (except battery life and weight). People choose Apple for software, reliability, support, and brand first.

So, any comparison that states that a phone trumps the iPhone 4S should at the very least talk about software.

Well it is. It is also how the EU is run.

One of the provisions of EU membership is that international treaties have the same status -at least- of a country's constitution. The catch ? These agreements are made by the executive alone.

In most European countries this is a well-established legal situation, and it has been applied to no end of sordid practices, from "bigamy" for unemployment checks (e.g. a muslim comes into the country, works for a week, gets fired, then he and his family have the right to unemployment. 20 women come in, are "married" to him (but also unofficially married to someone else) and all get permanent residency and unemployment), to not applying country constitutions, or laws to their own political officials, and now extending into copyright.

No doubt software patents won't be far behind.

But this is a way lots of unconstitutional laws have been applied in the EU (in a Belgian court decision in 2003 a judge agreed that, yes, the constitution states that no laws are in effect in Belgium except those voted on by (one of the) parliaments, but it was ruled that international treaties, like all EU directives override the constitution).

Given the structure of the EU commission, this de-facto means the EU has the legal framework of a dictatorship (the EU commission is not elected) with a few local semi-democracies below it.

It is my hope that the EU does fall apart.

I recently tested the gnome-shell in Fedora 15 for the first time. This is my showstopper list:

1. Application oriented
2. Alt+tab sucks (mostly because of #1)
3. Terminal doesn't open new window by sefault.
4. Terminal is single-process (see #1)
5. Can't use other window manager.
6. Sometimes slow

Now using XFCE. Will see how many of these got fixed with the new version.
I get they're trying to make a point, but it was poorly done. I chose a job as a restaurant worker $8 an hour and I don't get what its point was when someone is trying to unionise the workforce and says something like "people in low income will often avoid opportunities to better their income" or some crap.

All I'm left with thinking is if your wage is <$3 from your employer, there's slim-to-nil chance you're going to unionise. Your employers response is simply FIRED, because there'll always be a dozen more people looking for a no-skill job.

The other things that pissed me off were the gimmicks. Like I got a speeding ticket and by contesting it in court I got charged a $40 court fee, which where I live doesn't happen. If a cop gives me a speeding ticket, it costs the police to bring the motion, not me. Furthermore my landlord increased my rent illegally and the option was "take it" or "move", and then illegally increased my rent again when a roommate moved in. What I don't get is why when I'm broke, don't have internet etc, why I wouldn't go down to the library and find out how to file a tenancy board complaint to have the guy nailed.

As I too ended with over $300, this was just an illustration in how stupid people make stupid decisions. One of these was making a game that doesn't correctly illustrate people with low wages problems.

It's sort of unsurprising that "thedroidguy" like the Droid better than the iPhone.

Also, his chart seems to only highlight (literally, in blue) the places where the Galaxy S II wins - notice how the Galaxy win in screen size is highlighted but the iPhone win in resolution isn't. He also makes implicit value judgements and doesn't tell you. For instance, both phones are on AT&T and Sprint, but the Droid is marked the winner of the category because its 3rd carrier is T-Mobile while the iPhone's 3rd carrier is Verizon.

All the above said, as someone in the market for a phone, there are more relevant factors that are too specific to the individual for a website breakdown. For instance, I spend 8 hours in a pre-war building with sub-optimal cell service and most of the rest of my day in the suburbs outside of 4g coverage, so 4G isn't crucial to me (but is to other people). Similarly, how much the overall plan costs per month may determine which carrier, which has an impact on which phone. A $10/month difference in calling plan prices is $240 over the life of the contract, swamping any difference in phone price. Or you may need a phone which works with Linux/iTunes/whatever, which also limits your decision. There are a lot of these factors which vary person to person and make it impossible for anyone to say which is the best phone in all circumstances for all people.
