Yes, I think you're looking at the wrong terms of service; you're looking at their ordinary end user terms of service, not their educational terms of service. The educational terms of service, http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/terms/education_terms.htm... say:

> 12.2 Limitation on Amount of Liability. NEITHER PARTY MAY BE HELD LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR MORE THAN THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER TO GOOGLE DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.
> 12.3 Exceptions to Limitations. These limitations of liability apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, but do not apply to breaches of confidentiality obligations, violations of a party’s Intellectual Property Rights by the other party, or indemnification obligations.

So, they put a cap on liability of how much they've been paid in the past year (which in most cases for their educational program is nothing), but do not limit liability for breaches of confidentiality obligations.
Unless you're really special nothing you think of is original. I'm not saying you're not special though. :)

I am surprised they haven't evaluated the office apps that are associated with the suits. As a long time Google Docs user, I was stunned by how superior the online version of Excel is to Google's offering.
Hmm. I would love to follow this course of action. Can you point to evidence that schools will allow you to take their qualifying exams and let you get a PhD based on your independent research without being formally enrolled?

Also, as far as I can tell, most of the article is complaining about the bachelor's level, which you assume as a given. For those who haven't done that, do you have an alternative for that level?
"Our system is designed around checks and balances"...who make the check and balances ? humans...which exactly means your current system can never be fair...that's why all current legal systems are doom, they can never achieve their mission of providing fair justice...for any software code, given the same input, it always only has 1 interpretation and 1 output, but for the legal system, the same case with the same law will give different outcomes depending on time/people...software engineering practices should just be used in the legal system for it to have a chance of achieving its mission :)
The issue is how hard is it to make a vaccine vs how hard is it to create a pandemic strain. Seeing as we haven't got a permanent vaccine against flu yet, I don't think the odds are in our favor. We would have to vaccinate against the particular proteins that allow it to be airborne. I don't think we have that kind of technology to specify precisely what our immune system latches onto.

I wonder if UC Berkeley is confusing "confidential obligations" with "confidential data".

It doesn't seem like google is saying, "if we lose an email, and it costs you a million dollars, we're liable for it".

From this section:
"Confidential Information.

5.1 Obligations. Each party will: (a) protect the other party’s Confidential Information with the same standard of care it uses to protect its own Confidential Information; and (b) not disclose the Confidential Information, except to Affiliates, employees and agents who need to know it and who have agreed in writing to keep it confidential. Each party (and any Affiliates, employees and agents to whom it has disclosed Confidential Information) may use Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, while using reasonable care to protect it. Each party is responsible for any actions of its Affiliates, employees and agents in violation of this Section.

5.2 Exceptions. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) the recipient of the Confidential Information already knew; (b) becomes public through no fault of the recipient; (c) was independently developed by the recipient; or (d) was rightfully given to the recipient by another party. "

It sounds like what Google is really saying is, "If we make some kind of secret deal with your organization, you better protect that secrecy as well as you protect all of your confidential information, or there is no limit to how much we can sue you for the breach."

It shouldn't really be surprising. A 6990 is essentially two 6970s on the same board. We'll probably have to wait for a 7990 to have a fair comparison.
Hahaha thanks. I read somewhere that at the same time you think of a grand new idea, 10 people somewhere in the world will also have the same idea. I doubt that's always true, but it's pretty amazing nonetheless.
The possibility that something like this happened is pretty obvious to anyone who understands how the sausage is made on Wall Street. Yes, people can and do conspire behind the scenes whether it's illegal or not. Yes, insider trading occurs. Yes, certain actors have many orders of magnitude more money under their control than others. And yes there is now a much higher volume of computerized trading than in decades past, with more complexity, more abstraction, and more layers of indirection. It's like running a shell game against a mark, except you're now able to maintain thousands of shells under which to hide the nut as you move it around. And move them at extremely high speeds. If you plan a con or scam or "raid" but construct it well enough to cover your trail, have plausible deniability, and/or not do anything which is strictly illegal (and if you have millions or especially billions of dollars at your disposal, you almost certainly can afford to have many great lawyers helping you to ensure that this is the case), then it seems reasonable to assume that one can get away with the white-collar equivalent of a bank robbery.
Regarding #2, there is also the possibility that if a civilization converted its light cone into computronium, we would not notice. Maybe because they used exotic matter as a substrate and that matter did not strongly interact with the rest of the universe. Or maybe they figured out how to "escape" this universe by creating a computer that can perform and infinite amount of computation without affecting its surroundings. This idea is explored in Greg Egan's Permutation City where the main plot involves creating a new pocket universe for simulated beings with access to an infinite amount of computation but can be bootstrapped on a normal computer.
But if they're so advanced, they probably still have radio receivers somewhere though. They should be able to receive our signals and reply with some sort of super advanced method that appears as radio waves so that we can receive them, but that travel much faster so it doesn't take a thousand years to reach us.

A Look at Responsive Web Design
Responsive web design is widely thought of as a design trend, but it’s much more than that. It is an approach to web development that allows a website to break itself down smoothly across multiple monitor sizes, screen resolutions, and platforms, be it a computer, tablet or mobile device. It allows the developer to create a site that is optimized for each platform, both in navigation, readability and load time.
The headline is overly sensational. The volume of the transactions mentioned there sounds enough to manipulate one stock, but not enough to cause a complete crash. This is particularly clear when you compare it to the sheer volume of subprime loans created by control fraud and predatory lending that were starting to collapse in 2008. There are orders of magnitudes in difference.

That said, the real story behind the hype does sound plausible, and stuff like that just highlights how absurd the notion of "efficient free markets" really is. You need transparency, you need regulation, and most importantly you need prosecution.

I like reading about the rapture of the nerds as much as the next guy but you are calling this article terrible and then stacking a few layers of conjecture on top of each other and treating it as fact.

It is simply way way too early for us to assume that there are hard to reach limits to computation. For all we know there could be problems that need to be solved that are not realistically solved using computation or the problems get exponentially more complex faster than their solutions exponentially increase our computing ability or the necessary complexity of the systems increases too quickly to manage.

(no, waving a "true AI" magic wand doesn't make these disappear, it buries them in another layer of conjecture)

We can't even solve the damned P vs NP problem yet!

> Can we convert our entire future

> light cone into computronium? There

> seems to be no physical laws to prevent

> that outcome

Let me rephrase that in a more scientific way: No one has disproved that this is impossible. It's a bit of cheat to phrase it this way when we don't even know what those physical laws would look like so have no idea of whether or not we know of any laws that would prevent that outcome.

There is only one definitely true thing about these types of predictions, they are interesting, inspiring, necessary and a few generations from now they will be looked at the same way we look at the rocket pack/floating city/flying car predictions of previous generations (which is the same way they looked at the previous futurist predictions and so on)
I have to disagree. Part of the reason is that it teaches the concept of anonymous functions.

The main reason, though, is the anonymous function case makes it more apparent that the function is an object.

Separating the RHS from the LHS is significant. The right side creates the object, the left side binds it to the reference. Much like `var a = 3`.

It is the assignment that makes it interesting for people that I teach JavaScript. Consider the following, can you do that in a less function-oriented language like Java easily?

var getData = function () {};

var mygetdata = getdata;

getData("foo")

mygetData("foo")

Not that that's really necessary, I mean the complexity of scientific computing (parallelism, numerical stability, etc.) means the programmers that do it have no trouble with CUDA et al (which is fairly simple if you just forget about coherency).

1. Keep your home folder in a separate partition.

2. Backup at least your system partition before upgrading using Remastersys [1]. It creates a live CD/DVD from your custom Debian/Ubuntu system.

3. If the upgrade fails, restore the old system or install the new version and copy/adapt your config files from the backup.

Use http://www.ehealthinsurance.com. It's the real deal -- compare all the applicable plans at most of the major insurers -- and all you have to give them is gender, birth date and whether you smoke, no personal info until you actually pick a provider and plan to apply for.

I've showed this site to a few people whose healthcare costs were going up as their employers were chipping in less... some of them ended up paying less for better coverage on individual plans.

I only pay $83/mo for 100% coverage with no coverage limit after a $3000 deductible... an Aetna plan I found through eHealthInsurance.com.

Insurance is a regional thing so it's possible they're not as good in your state as mine, but check it out.

> However, in years of Python programming I can count the times I needed the ability on one hand. I haven't yet found a need for 'nonlocal'.

Might have to do with Python itself as well: because it's function-scoped and it tends to avoid higher-order function (in part due to the limitations of its anonymous functions), there are far less occasions write to lexical closures than in Scheme, Smalltalk or Ruby.

Anyway, this is why I never answer the phone. Nobody calls you because they have something for you. They call you because they want something from you. Why should I give you an honest review of my friend? If I lie and say he's a 10, my friend will like me more and I will have a laugh at your expense. If I tell the truth, my friend will like me less and the end result will be having no friends. Why would I do that just to save you, some douchebag I've never met, some money?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority
This article comes across as link bait and sensationalist, and is extremely weak when compared to the voluminous analysis done on the market crash and the recession itself.

This is a simplistic reading of the reasons for the market crash; it is a complex system, which had multiple fail safes, as well multiple attacks (legislative weaknesses, absurd leverage levels, bad risk distribution) which led to the quagmire we are in today.

If the title limited itself to "possible bear raid on Citi Stock in November 2007" it would still have some legs. Going on to postulate that this precipitated the crisis (and the unsaid subtext being - perhaps without this the market wouldn't have crashed like it did)

Further, bears will short a stock which looks likely to be weak, and there is also a buyer on the other side of the fence. A link to the originally article may have been more worthwhile.
I think one of Groucho Marx's other quotes is probably more applicable to the sentiment of the article; "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others."
Also you often have the same thing invented multiple times independently, at the same time or in different times.

So if by some accident we missed a genius, she would probably be replaced by a bunch of merely clever people.
