Overall, I think incubators (tech or not) have a looooong way to go before there's truly a glut. My guess is there are for more smart people couped up in non-entrepreneurial ventures than is socially optimal.

Certainly some are higher quality than others, but I still think the incubator business model has a lot of in roads to make.

Ideally, they'd start to form in areas besides tech.
Some people would say that when a compiler blows up telling you "ur doin it rong", that's a good thing.

This is surely why there's so much type information floating around a programming language like Java. (Of course, Java is a little extreme. It's obnoxious to be forced to catch/declare-that-I-throw 50 different exceptions when I do any file I/O, and doesn't bring much to my typical use case. I don't use Java much. :)

Total 5 year return: 650 > 3%, 399 > 25%, 56 > 100%, max 322.84%.

Total 1 year return drops to: 498 > 3%, 51 > 25%, 2 > 100%, max 278.64%.

273 of them appear to have been around for >= 10 years. Out of those 273 the total 10 year return: 244 > 25%, 135 > 100%, 51 > 200%, 14 > 500%, 4 > 1000%, max = 1907.18%.

People generally go in, not really believing that they will match. They think it only happens to others. Their attitude usually changes when this abstract possibility becomes a tangible reality.

Before taking the test: "Ah! I probably won't even be a match. Why bother?"
After being matched: "Shit! Is this for real? A life now depends on ME?"

There's a similar phenomenon when a competitor starts winning and the possibility of him actually becoming champion materializes. Believers come out of the woodwork.

That's why the goal isn't to convince them to give bone marrow, but rather to just see if they match first.

New business idea
This idea is for a venture that is Low or almost no investment that can generate sustained return.

Gamestop generates substantial amount of revenue buying used games for much lower price and turning it around for a huge margin. The reason they are able to do that is because of local presence.

How about a model where in a Gamers meetup is organized locally and people could swap games ir buy sell them there? And an annual memebrship fees of $10 is charged for being a memeber?

Sellers get more money for used games. Buyers get for lower price. The site/organizer generates sustained income. Its a win-win fir everyone.

The idea is basically eliminating the middleman but i dont see this happen in gaming.

>2. "IQAgent" sounds like things Apple could name, e.g.: I've seen no evidence that this has anything to do with CarrierIQ. There's been no disassembly (unless I missed it) so it quite possibly could simply be the fact that at one point Apple used the two letters "IQ" in an obscure file.

The fact that those files contain a reference to http://collector.sky.carrieriq.com establishes a definite link to CarrierIQ, even if it doesn't actually run and send logs.

Hmmm... I didn't realize the availability of appropriate ARM SoCs was a factor. I'd presumed that having Intel as a co-developer on Google TV was why it launched on x86. However, I can see how the causality can go the other way (not having usable ARM SoCs meant picking Intel as a partner).

I wouldn't be surprised to see devices move back (to line up with the bulk of the Android ecosystem, for instance), but since battery life / power consumption isn't a big issue for TV peripherals, I could see things staying with x86 as well. We'll see.
Security Expert Gregory Evans’ Blog Site Pawned With Timthumb Exploit
Just today, Gregory Evans’ Blog site has been defaced by Tha L ( a defacer from ‘the hackers army’).

In fact he was said to be world’s no. 1 Security Expert or hacker (I really dunno about this).
I went through LPTHW without losing motivation, wanting to quit, or being too confused to go on. I'd say this is what really sets it apart from other programming books. Also, very functional. You know what you're doing every step of the way and he tries to speak to you like a person while helping you graspt the material. There were only a few instances doing the extra credit where I really felt stuck. His books force you to write a lot of code. After 1/2 way, I'd genuinely be excited to go to the next chapter. In terms of simulating your own personal CS tutor, LPTHW was awesome.
This is a forum that can't even talk about putting Scala into production without personalizing it and turning it into drama.

This.

The pyramid structure that seems to permeate all things //system// has the following salient feature. Say a system pawn is a node at level $L$ and his/her boss is at level $L+1$ and the boss' boss is at level $L+2$. Depending on social skills and intelligence, the pawn might have information about "what is going on" at level $L+1$ by talking to the boss, but for sure he/she has //no// information about what is going on at $L+2$. In a way secrecy (i.e. information non-awareness) is the //essence// of the pyramid.

Assange has this paper [1], which talks about information being the perfect way to choke the system.

[1] cryptome.org/0002/ja-conspiracies.pdf
[ abstract: Consider the Gonspiracy G = (V,E) where V is the
set of conspirators and E is the set of inside information links.
The conspiracy G is embedded in a larger graph, society, S.
Let |G| be the power of the Gonspiracy. The 'good guys'[2] want |G| to be small, the bag guys want |G| to be large. Assange defines the total conspiratory
power as

|G| = sum information flows in e for all e in E

So to fight G, one must either cut edges e, or generally
reduce the flow of information flowing on edges, by
scaring the nodes {v \in V} that they might be found out.

How so? Are you claiming that AT&T would have been granted a cell-phone monopoly if it hadn't been broken up? If so, why weren't the baby bells, which still had a land-line monopoly, given a cell phone monopoly?

I think that the success of sprint et al wrt long distance by the time that cell-phones were taking off pretty much guaranteed that there AT&T wouldn't be granted a cell phone monoply even if the break-up hadn't occurred.

There's certainly not a glut of incubators when you consider geography. Not everyone is a 22-year-old with no roots and willing to move to SF or NY for 3 months.
(I wrote that post.) I think that is the case: it is using the same "diagnostics are enabled?" function call that the Crash Report submission is using, and the binary logs "This is not supported hardware, or the user has opted out." and exits if that call doesn't return true.

However, there definitely could be something else going on there: I do not want to rule out any possibilities here, many people are very touchy about privacy issues like this.

Any "sharing" is a choice. Why are they obligated to make that choice less expensive? If you don't like their expenses, don't pay them. And, don't take their money.

Surely you're not arguing that people "owe" society full-productivity or somesuch?

How to Graduate College Without Being Broke
Death To Pennies
From the article:

"Incubators are "no more a waste of resources than going to business school," said Paul Graham.

I laughed when I read that. Was that a joke?

Business schools are a waste for many, if not most students. However, for the right person at the right school it's a golden opportunity. I have an MBA and it was the right thing for me, but for a lot of MBA students it's just not useful. They're better served by gaining experience on the job or ad hoc training like seminars and the occasional evening class.

Comparing incubators to business schools is not very flattering to incubators. There's definitely a glut of business schools and way too many MBAs.
Personally I don't find NFA/DFA helpful with learning regular expressions.

To a newcomer, even a naive implementation of NFA/DFA doesn't make sense. Consider this small gist https://gist.github.com/1414061

I have a feeling a newcomer will come out none the wiser even if he were shown this. And this is just a naive implementation - no nfa to dfa conversions, inefficient implementation etc.

I would root for state diagrams though. Generally diagrams help people see patterns mere text doesn't.
This is a familiar pattern in any language, not just scala. If you doubt me just check out the source code for memcpy.c. Witness the loop unrolling, the byte fiddling the register level manipulations and the several hundreds, if not thousands, of lines of code required to implement the function. Wouldn't a simple for loop be enough?

High performance code anywhere will force you to drop down to the lowest level possible and work from there. The rationale of functional programming is that you can work largely at a high level and drop down to low level techniques in the 1-10% of the code that really matter for performance. One measure of the success of Scala is that it is being benchmarked against Java unlike Python/Ruby/Groovy etc. It is a reasonably high level language, yet the benchmark comparisons are always against Java. If necessary the performance required can be had by writing your while loops to avoid the object allocation required to build a closure. I don't see this as a disadvantage at all, as I can use the high level techniques in the remaining 90% of the code.
This whole "fad" to call 100 million dollar let alone billion + dollar companies start ups is pure reality distortion.

Not to mention the title is link bait.
I thought about trying but it's hard to dip into the regex data structure (if there is one) and also display it in some sort of meaningful way.

Other than that, Regetron is kind of just enough of a tool to get you through the book and have no friction. I think for more advanced regex exploration there's http://kodos.sourceforge.net/ and I believe there's a few javascript ones in the browser and even a few very advanced ones in Java.
I'd just like to point out that Amazon didn't use the Android Market for the Fire but used their own ecosystem (whether you want to argue that they built the Amazon app store for the purpose of putting it on their own devices is another story). So they didn't actually use the existing Android sales/distribution ecosystem.

I'm not so sure you can disconnect Moore's Law from market demand. There is certainly no physical basis for Moore's Law. It is mainly an expression of the rate of capital investment and business profit cycles. It happens that spending the Moore's Law rate on R&D and new fabs approximately matches the profits needed to build the next cycle. If customers stopped needing more memory, for whatever reason, then the business investment cycle represented by Moore's Law would quickly come to a halt. Conversely, if there were a Manhattan Project style crash R&D effort that needed better memory chips, and lack of profit was no barrier, then the density could improve faster than Moore's Law for some time.

None of the bathhouses ("while the band played on") were Fortune 500, but they were profiting.

It's fair to suggest that the behavior would have happened without bathhouses, but that same argument applies to McDs.

Note that the nutritonal information that McDs passes out has been more effective than the bowls of condoms were.

Not at all. They're paid less. Surely you're not going to argue that they owe "full productivity"? If so, there are lots of other things that affect productivity, so what makes obesity special?

I think the vast majority of Facebook users aren't reading tech news and likely haven't heard about a lot of the privacy changes in Facebook. It's also likely that for most people the decreased privacy did not cause any practical problems. The users that have been burned by Facebook's privacy changes though are definitely complaining. The ones that aren't complaining probably haven't been burned. Yet.
In Apple's defense: in the iPhone settings where you can turn the sending of data on and off (General > About > Diagnostics and Usage), it also gives you access to all the data it has sent, which mostly seems to be related to cellular communication.

Other data is about location services accuracy which contains the bundle ID of the application that requested the location.

Most messages contain a device ID, but it's not the devices UDID, but some other ID, so this might actually be anonymous.

I might keep this feature turned on as cellular reception and location data might be very helpful for them to improve the antenna design.
I don't disagree with your fundamental point, but I think you misunderstand how things become classified. It's always either

a) due to how the information was collected

b) something derived (citing) a piece of classified information.

So a special collection platform may collect material at some high level of classification, anything that references that information (it could be 100,000 reports) are also all classified at that level automatically.

It's just how the system works not individual politicians stamping individual pieces of information as classified.

The standard HIV test people do (ELISA) tests for the antibodies produced against HIV, not the HIV strain itself.

Donated blood is tested with PCR, which detects the HIV RNA. PCR test detects HIV in as quick as a couple of weeks.

However, because of the added cost (and time cost) of running PCR tests, donated blood samples are pooled before being tested. If the test runs positive, samples are tested individually.
Sure they have. IANA game theorist, but I think the conclusion is that some secrets are good, but the paramaters should generally be communicated.

You didn't want to let the USSR know how many nukes you had (or they could come up with a stronger first strike plan). But you wanted them to know roughly how many, so they knew not to overreact (and build a massive deterrent to an overstated threat), or under-react (and get too cocky).

There's also value in giving biased paramaters - the President is mad, and you have more nukes than they think (which will make them scared, and more likely to back down, because they think they are dealing with an irrational actor), but you don't want to sail too close too the wind here.

The thing is, game theorists don't deal well with stuff that's not part of game theory. Game theory tends to assume that actors are all very smart, and aren't hamstrung by some of their best advisors being out of the loop.
