Shooting from the hip here; I expect seek disparity would remain about the same, while maximum bandwidth would skyrocket.

Actually, hold on, I wonder if seek would improve very noticeably? Is seek time mostly the long-distance movements of the head, or the locating of the file in-track after the head has traveled? If it is the latter, you might be able to boost seek quite a lot.
Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales: 'Failure Is The Key To Success'
i hadn't noticed any issue other than the cursor not going away, but i'd trade all of your gripes for the significantly decreased CPU usage (and heat output) of the HTML5 player vs the Flash player.
You said two different things: that tithing is payment for facilities, and then that tithing is a tax.

Mormons - all people - have the free choice to pay or not pay the Mormon church. And they do quite well.

I would have no issue with a government that said "If you want to use our services, you need to pay. If you want to use roads that we build, you need to pay." And then people could freely choose.

I have an issue with demanding that someone else pay for their so-called "freedom".
He worked on the Windows TCP/IP stack, Visual Studio, and Bing. These are hardly the same thing.
The problem is any site that decides to grab this data gets an advantage over any site that does not, and the regular users simply don't care enough.

About four years ago, a new trend just started emerging. Sites would ask user's for their Gmail passwords and scrape all the users' contacts to invite them for their service. I remember this because I was at a company where I refused to implement a service that requested a user to enter their Gmail password. They got someone else to do it. The issue was that we had competitors using this tactic and they were gaining a lot of users. Unless you have a way to level the playing field, you'll end up just punishing the ethical companies.

The one part that striked me:

My biggest concern about you joining a startup is that you don’t have enough breadth of expertise in building products.

This sort of runs counter to what my beliefs are and I thought the ethic in this country is: As long as you have that urge or passion in you (he mentions it himself), it doesn't matter what your "expertise" is. Sure, you need to have a baseline of "technical" skills, but this candidate clearly has it. Especially in these days where it is hard to find willing talent, I dont think you can afford to be picky, especially with such seemingly arrogant(right word?) demands

That was also the whole point of the stanford ML course. TO teach exactly that skillset.

Sure we did some basic implementations in octave, it helps to have some idea of the internals. But that wasn't the goal of the course.
> Most people don't take the word "bitching" as a sexist term when it's used to refer to an entire group of unspecified complainers.

Just because your intent was not sexist does not mean the word isn't sexist.[0] It's the same reason we frown upon people saying "faggot" even though they might not be directing it at a gay person.

> You can also say someone's "dicking around", and it doesn't have the same gendered connotation as "dick."

Because it doesn't have the same root.

Actually, Google Prediction API is very simple and it covers supervised learning (regression and classification) already. I can imagine very simple extensions (of the API itself, the algorithms would be completely different) to cover a lot of the unsupervised and semi-supervised ground as well.

The algorithms are not disclosed, but the docs hint that they are properly regularized so throwing more features at them is always good.

You still need to be able to reformulate the problems so that they fit a standard ML setting and then know how to tune things, but it looks like the API can get you pretty far.

- FWIW -

While I have a handful of my own open source projects (mostly libraries), I gave up on trying to contribute to open source. I tried approaching a number of projects and the level of disinterest and arrogance was frankly jaw-dropping. I was treated like someone who is out to outsmart and put to shame everyone on the "core team".

In one case I asked if they had any thoughts on moving from Google Code to GitHub, listing possible benefits and reasons. To this the first reply was that forking was evil, GitHub was broken and that I shouldn't really be troubling very busy people with such stupid questions. Then more people piled on with personal attacks. That was damn odd. All I wanted was to submit a bugfix.

With another project I wrote them how to trim down and lighten the code, and no one even bothered to reply. I wasn't condescending, always bearing in mind that it was their project and I was just passing by. Yet another project - made a replacement for an awful app icon - again, like talking to a wall, not a blip from the other end.

One notable exception was the Linux Kernel project. They accepted a couple of patches with no fuss whatsoever, and rejected another 2 or 3 with good arguments.

(edit) Having thought about it a bit more - the problems appear to lie with multi-person projects. I had good experience submitting fixes and patches to single-maintainer projects. They were all accepted or rejected promptly and with courtesy. But once there's a group, then there are leaders, prima donnas, politics, social hierarchies and you name it. A coding society, not a development project.

It's not required, always, to pay tithing to attend the standard sunday services in the LDS faith. But if you wanted to get help from your bishop, who has the ability to grant about $5000 USD to anyone of his choosing (I think per month), he will most certainly note if you are contributing to the church if you ask for help paying utility or medical bills, which is not uncommon. Mormons that wish to be married or sealed in the Temple will also be scrutinized of their contributions.

Like you noted, when relating it to Government tax, if you decide to never pay taxes again, you wouldn't get thrown in jail or forced to leave, but you wouldn't get to enjoy the simple things in life, like roads, police, ambulances or the fire department.

You could probably live a life like Henry David Thoreau, but it probably wouldn't be very comfortable.

Oh, maybe I wasn't clear: I do have the resizing issue when exiting fullscreen (not always, just sometimes). I was saying that there are other resizing issues in addition to that.

I was using Chrome 16 to test the cache. For the HD stuff, I must say: I can't find many HD videos to try it on. HD videos are more likely to be supported by big corporate accounts, and they'll opt for ads in their videos, too, which means that the video won't be HTML5-compatible (that's the real distinction). If the video doesn't have Google Ads, then it can be played in HTML5. Otherwise, it has to be Flash.
Well the article mentions that:

"This revolutionary method allows the recording of Terabytes (thousands of Gigabytes) of information per second"

Therefore, If you can write 1TB/sec the seek it would pretty much outperform any SSD cluster, in terms of writespeed.
unfortunately, nothing is said about read speeds/access times and I assume that that will be a harder problem. Because they are still storing the data magnetically and the platters don't emit heat based on their polarisation, they still have to pretty much read like normal hdds do.
You cannot (until now, like it was not possible to alter the magnetic polarisation of metals other than with another magnetic field) sense the polarisation except for with another magnetic field.

I am really interested in how that will turn out, but before they make a significant advance in read speeds I doubt that the technology will make it into consumer grade HDD's any time soon.
Probably automatic, like all their other apps on Android. But you should be able to easily turn that off just like with all the other apps in the Market.
It looks like they fixed the bug, but for about 3 days a week ago I couldn't skip to different points in any video I've viewed in full screen without Chrome crashing. It was enough to almost push me back to Firefox...
The example he chose strikes me as odd. The guy worked on really varied projects - TCP/IP stack, the IDE and Bing. I would be really really impressed if someone managed to work on such varied fields at such a high level at a company like MS. It would mean he's got a wonderful drive and motivation. The OP would be lucky to have him apply.
Look - as I said in my other comment, the issue isn't that it uses a tonne of memory. The stock browser does so too. The issue is that it is using that memory in such a way that it is evicted too late. The app is multi-process, but they're putting background services in the wrong process - they run in the main process that you'd expect to be heavy on memory usage. So instead of the memory-heavy UI stuff being evicted shortly after the UI goes away, it is evicted after all other background (multitasking) processes - including the launcher - have also gone away.

Note that my screenshot shows the active (i.e., not background processes that can be thrown away at any time) section of the running processes screen.

You may only be seeing CoreAnimation fencing issues, but the fact is, you're accessing main-thread-only classes from a background thread, and it has the potential to corrupt data structures which can lead to crashes and other bad behavior.

Glad to see you fixed it though.
You really shouldn't be moving in insert mode. The only thing you should be doing in insert mode is typing new text (or erasing a few characters immediately before the cursor that you mistyped while still in insert mode).

Once you're outside of insert mode, you have a ton of options for moving around very quickly and efficiently. You are crippling yourself by using the arrow keys to move character by character or line by line instead of going out of insert mode, not to mention the time you waste moving your entire hand to the arrow keys and back.

That said, if you really feel you absolutely must move in insert mode, may I suggest mapping:

control-h
control-j
control-k
control-l

to move while in insert mode, instead of using the arrow keys. That way your hands can remain on the home row, and you'll continue to use the familiar keys to move around. (As for hitting the control key itself, I like to do that with the part of my palm that's right below my little finger, so I don't have to move my fingers from the home row -- it also makes for virtually no finger strain, compared to using your fingers to hit it).

But you should really try to wean yourself off the bad habit of moving in insert mode.
And people don't believe me when I say that even talented developers can't find jobs these days because there aren't enough positions.
It's something I've been asking from Google for a while. They need to implement swipes and gestures like that throughout the OS, and get rid of the bottom buttons which I think are wasting space.

Not to mention that he's asking them to work for free, on a "side project", before they earn the privilege to apply for his pay cut. Kind of insulting, really.
Other reasons:
1. We are publicly shaming these apps to promote better behavior.
2. We are educating each other to be careful when using these apps.
Agree: I had a dataset for work no one had yet been able to use in categorizing two effects (one category was 98% of all the data). The values looked too "Gaussian normal" with everything mixed up. It couldn't be separated out, but a combination of SVM and in dept knowledge of the source of the data and I was able to find a generalized model that could accurately categorize parts 80%+ of the time for the small set, without misclassifying the other 98%. All other methodologies had failed up to that point and a blind approach with linear regression or SVMs resulted in at best 70% accuracy on all categories... not very good or implementable in a production setting (that means in the bulk of cases the 98% I was only correct 70% of the time).
Terabytes per second? Really?? Given that SATA-3 is still at 6Gbps, this would be 1300x faster than SATA-3. How would you get data to a drive that fast for it to write?
Typemock is discussing that in today's webinar (10:00 AM ET and 15:00 in the UK) about tools and practices to help with unit testing - http://bitly.com/z3uPOi

The best thing is to make sure you're using tools that are flexible and scalable. Also, decide what to test. You don't test basic logic like 1+1=2.

Unit tests are intended to catch a specific type of bugs but not all errors. It's not usability testing. If you're not doing TDD (ideally) at least you can test legacy code and strive for high code coverage
In response to your question on availability in commercial HDs, I think that unless a comparable significant advance is made in read speeds, I doubt that you will find it in consumer grade HDDs soon. A disk that can read at e.g. 100mb/s and write at 50gb/s would be not easy to sell to the consumer at a premium price (where do I get data faster than my HD/SSD read speeds from to store?).

I assume though, that it might be used in e.g. CERN, where they need to store a ridiculous amount of data in very short time. Or similar activities where the write speeds are the limiting factor.
That would be 10e12 vs 60.466.176. Pretty easy from the security pov.

Also if an alphanumeric string should be entered / remembered by humans make sure to strip I, l, etc.

When I was in grade school, life was so hard for us. There were times that my teacher won’t allow me to take the final test because my tuition fee is not yet paid. My family also experienced a Christmas without food on out table. I remember my eldest brother swear that he wont allow that thing to happened to us again.

Now, I am a fulltime office worker, a student currently taking Masteral degree, and a part-time worker online. I am doing everything to have money. Why? Because I don’t want to experience the hardship that we’ve been through before. I want to give my parents a good life and let them experience to travel, eat in a fancy restaurant, wear a signture clothes, and do the stuff that rich people can do.

Further, I want to sponsor children and send them to school because I don’t want them to experience the humiliating situation I have been.

I am not yet rich, still working towards that goal. If I reach it, surely, I am not the only person who will be benefited, but the also the people around me.
