A ton. When you request a site in Silk it's very probable Amazon already knows about all the dependencies and already has them cached locally. So you make a request for a site (in the existing SPDY connection) and in return get everything needed to display it at once. In a pre-computed format so the relatively slow mobile CPU doesn't have to spend cycles parsing it into something readable.

Just the CPU thing makes a big difference. There's a noticeable timing lag between loading a page on my iPad vs on my computer. Same wireless network so it's not the connection slowing things down.
If you want more reading than just the links provided search for stuff related to SQLite. The source code was released to the Public Domain, and I believe that they have written about the various pitfalls of this (notably, you can't voluntarily dedicate a work to the public domain in Germany, IIRC).

GNOME core modules now only depend on introspection-based
Python bindings (pygobject-3) and hence pygtk, gnome-python

Interesting. I have been out of the loop for a while. Does this mean that existing pygtk applications have to be ported to pygobject-3 or is it a simple "import" change?
Another Whopper from Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch
To choose a tablet PC most suit for you 
Certainly, among those, the people who pursue the brand is in a good number, but for the affordable price also plenty of people prefer to choose a cheap copy. Many of them as a play mentality, the same can surf internet, watch video, play the games….. why don’t choose a cheap one, and today, the android tablet PC which run the Google android operation system also became more and more be praised and popular, especially the students, still in school and have no much money but with a heart desire to play, so when the cheap copy constantly released, they saw the hope and like wolf hunger for a long time find the food almost without the hesitation to buy it. After using, most think the cheap copy android tablet PC is ok and better than imagined.
If you're using this just for inside your company, it's already been invented. It's called a forum.

As far as outside the corporate environment, the reason email persists is:

1) Email is robust

2) Email is distributed, and not controlled by any one entity

Email is almost like the bittorrent of communication, at least in my mind.
Right, this is very interesting, you are effectively running the data and code intermingled instead of in different separate memory areas.

A fascinating thing about computing with rule 110 seems to be that it is inherently parallel, the "instruction" is applied to the entire memory area in lockstep. There is no control flow of any kind. So if you have static data you need to encode it as "idle" instructions.

I/O is an even more interesting problem...
I can understand your point, but I think that in the end it's always feasible. If you want to meet more women you have to realize they won't come to knock on your door. So you have to give up a couple of hours in the evening where instead if working you go out with the objective to meet more women.

Novell Groupwise does the message recall thing. Not that I am suggesting you use that, but it has that feature.

It doesn't matter if the program is unreliable, since it generates proofs that are easy (but tedious) for a human to check.
Your story reminds me of how Bill Gates apparently pitched MS-DOS to IBM. Looked around the scene and came up with the solution on the spot.

I produce work as part of an FFRDC. The lawyer-derived boilerplate I must put on my work says (in part) "Copyright 2011".

But, it's OK to republish the work in any way, including as part of a public web site or government report.

I interpreted this as meaning that the government retains copyright, but that may be the wrong legal phrasing. The point is that the work is freely available.

Solving a problem that is currently a pain of yours is usually a good motivator. If you're lucky and there's enough of a market (others feel the same pain too) then it may be worth exploring further.

On building around future tech, you probably want to start building (or at least planning) in anticipation or you may have to play catch up when once the tech becomes available.

In the United States, the idea would probably be dead on arrival given th the current anti-tax mood.

Really? Is this same United States where the public quite strongly supports the raising of taxes on the very rich and would likely support this as well, or another one on the dark side of the fucking moon, that we haven't heard about?

Because I'd hate to think this was just a media outlet speaking on behalf of the American people, contrary to the actual thoughts and opinions of the American people, in a transparent bid to influence that opinion. Again.
Very lame. But do a search for "Down tech tools" and we can all read it.
Why is are these debates run only on terms of envy and retribution? The company made a bad decision, and they were absolutely not rewarded, they lost big. Weideking was hugely influential, but his contract with the company was already agreed at that point. You could say it was reward for his negotiating skills and existing reputation. Misaligned incentives is the fault of the company who, as we said, suffered for it. If the next guy to hire him makes the same mistake, maybe they will lose too.
I don't know Mode7, but as an indie-developer myself I can tell that you that if HIB knocked on my door I wouldn't tell them to wait 3 months.

I am not sure you realize how much of a king-maker/lottery HIB is.

For one developer I personally know whose game was on one of the previous bundles, it single-handedly brought him from losing with little to no chance of ever recouping costs to paying for more than a year of salaries for the 3 people involved thereby financing their next game.

That's mostly due to the money HIB brought in directly but also due to bringing a lot publicity that helped them after the bundle was over.

It's basically the indie-games equivalent of a brand new unfunded startup getting a phone call from PG asking if they want to join the next YC, starting in 1 week - you don't say no to an opportunity like that.

There are many "training" institutes in places like Edison, where they train you in practically any IT skill for 3 months, fake your resume and get 3-4 other Indians as a reference.

Many of these employees are brought to the US before there is an actual job at a client site. Then they are trained. Many are US college grads, who face going back home empty handed unless they get a H1 visa. Or they end up in Dunkin Donuts.

This is probably the biggest reason why their salaries are low. Because the H1 sponsor has propped up the employee, it is skimming their wages, and can exploit them in other ways, like no holidays, dodgy insurance etc.

Check out some of the training ads here:

If we just started boycotting them, they'd crumble in no time.

Would that be a good thing? I haven't seen much evidence that IEEE is a no-good parasite. It's a huge leap to go from "gone beyond their stated purpose" and "exist purely to sustain themselves".

Don't forget- the last time your computer performed a floating point op, you benefited from the existence of IEEE (IEEE 754). The last time you used a network adapter, you benefited from the IEEE (IEEE 802.3 & 802.11), and I'm guessing it hasn't been long since you last used said adapter.

It's relevant since with both radio and streamed services the artist (or mostly the artist's label...) gets paid every time the song is listened to. With an MP3 you only count the number of downloads, not the number of times it's played.

This means that with downloads you get a rather crude measure of a song's popularity - you count the number of listeners instead of how often the song is actually played. It also means that a popular song will never stop being a source of income with a streaming service, as opposed to downloads where every user pays for the song only once.

About the privilege of selecting songs, according to the numbers in the article you pay 23 times (or maybe 12 times, it's a bit unclear) as much for being able to do so than you do if someone else selects the song for you.

Also, unless I'm mistaken it's the recoding's copyright owner - the label in most cases - that gets paid, and they in turn pay the artist. According to that other infographic, the artist gets about 15% of the amount the label gets.

Your application is cool. But are we really going to turn this into a religious discussion? Because it's possible to be a Christian without believing that a man in the sky has personally designed each individual creature on earth.

I certainly don't fear China becoming affluent and a center of innovation. I do fear their government being hijacked by a maniac or group of maniacs who try to finally annex Taiwan by force.

But how could anyone fear Chinese making cool new shit and inventing useful things?

It seems odd to want mappers and reducers to have the same type. Map/reduce is popular for limiting the scope of computations so they can execute in parallel with shared-nothing, which imposes very different roles on them. A mapper should be a pure function which takes a single input value (it can't rely on seeing more of the input than that) and produces a collection (not necessarily a list but some monad like that which the framework can join over) of values having an equivalence relation. A reducer should be a pure function which takes a collection of all values in one equivalence class (it can rely on seeing all of them from any mapper, but not any other values) and produces whatever (again, some collection monad so the framework can join over the collection-of-collections).

Feds: US man planned to blow up Pentagon [with RC planes]
Let me try challenge that. For every iPhone app purchaser that bickers over a $3 price, a fairly pricey iPhone has been sold. Those are the same human beings but acting in different ways depending on the combination of perceived value and price. They're the same demographic, the same B2C target market.

Apple sold a seriously expensive (especially initially) device to people who would later complain about 2 bucks. They owned word-of-mouth and viral. Any Nokia user seeing their friend using an iPhone would immediately calculate the months to the end of their phone contract. There's been so much free marketing that it can't possibly be calculated. But the product is not cheap.

Our challenge is to find out how to harness that for our own software/services. First step is to avoid boxing ourselves in, e.g. by price.

All IEEE is doing here is acting as a standardization committee. IEEE didn't invent floating points or ethernet adapters.

Not everything is standardized by IEEE(in fact very little, if you are talking computers), and stuff will work fine if IEEE is vaporized today. IEEE didn't invent anything, new stuff will keep getting invented, and if need be, some other label will be stuck on them.

What is most interesting here is that Oracle published the financial deck that Autonomy gave to Oracle! OMG. I'm sure there was no NDA signed, but it's highly unprofessional.

Also, I'm stil not clear why there is anything wrong with Autonomy "shopping" itself around to get the best acquisition offer.
Right, that might have been true ten years ago, and was even more true if you go back further. These days it's hard to get a job even for people that have a lot of experience in some area (at least if it isn't computer-related... we're the lucky ones for now, but that's another story).

I mean, if you aim for the simpleton jobs, you'll be competing with more experienced people that'd happily take the 80%/90% offer just to get a job at all (if it isn't below subsistence level).

I seriously doubt the "one game bundle" was HIB's idea. (Or rather, I really hope it was not. Does not bode well for the future.)

And I know exactly how profitable the Bundles have been. This de-values the bundle.

Here are the options:

1) Do a one-man-show today, with just you. This is what Mode7 is doing. (The included Frozen Byte stuff does not count, it is a rehash of the worst selling HIB. Desperate!)

2) Wait for the real HIB in December-ish and release with 4 other games.

How does being part of a bigger bundle hurt you? This is not like "join the next YC, starting in 1 week", this is like "you have not have coffee or a shower and are still in your PJs, but get down to the board room and pitch right now". YC's value is that it is a group event, with lots of startups. HIBs value is that it is a group event with lots of games. This is not a group event. It is one game, with a desperate attempt to recoup more from the least popular past HIB.
Don't feed the trolls, people
Well, that does tend to refute my point if the IEEE's stance hasn't changed in the interim.
Enterprise IT is all about money, cost reductions, etc. Good people are expensive as hell (we're talking bill rates of $2000-$5000/day). So outsourcing (and near sourcing) companies offer rates like "I'll give you 3 .NET guys that are three times as productive as that one guy who costs $3k/day and we'll only charge you $2k/day. Great savings!". These IT companies have fantastic profit margins. There is a complete disregard for the Mythical Man Month, thus all of the failure stories.

So the value they add is "we're cheaper and we can usually get you to where you want to be".
