Papa No Iukoto |Azurexanime
Segawa Yuta is a freshman of a university. He lost his parents when he was small and was raised by his sister Yuri. Yuta has been living alone since Yuri got married to a middle aged man when Yuta was a junior high student.
One day, Yuri visited Yuta’s apartment and asked him to take care of her three daughters while Yuri and her husband were on a trip. He unwillingly accepted the job but the plane Yuri took went missing. In order to prevent the daughters from being adopted separately by relatives, Yuta decided to take in all three girls.
A life of a strange family in a tiny apartment begins. (The elder two of the daughters are stepchildren of Yuri’s husband. The smallest one is Yuri’s child.)
I figure it would take a while for that to happen, even if Intel wanted to do that. Plus, I think ARM signed a partnership with IBM to manufacture its chips at 14 nm, I believe in 2014, which would be very competitive with Intel timeline wise.
Here's pg's explanation (from http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3098756)
It's not so much that it's ahead of its time relative to hardware as it is something you do in the early versions of a program.
Using closures to store state on the server is a rapid prototyping technique, like using lists as data structures. It's elegant but inefficient. In the initial version of HN I used closures for practically all links. As traffic has increased over the years, I've gradually replaced them with hard-coded urls.
Lately traffic has grown rapidly (it usually does in the fall) and I've been working on other things (mostly banning crawlers that don't respect robots.txt), so the rate of expired links has become more conspicuous. I'll add a few more hard-coded urls and that will get it down again.
It might service some of your watched repos because of data quality issues. It uses a very basic nearest neighbor shared item set model. I'm definitely planning on improving the quality of the results in the near future.
... and this how FabCloud was born ;)
That's not a premise of it at all, if you ask me. For all we know reanimation may in fact be much less costly to the given future society than current medical efforts are to current society. Anyway the default expectation should be that it is a hard to develop process, but easy to apply to many patients once developed. It could be as simple as pushing a button or throwing a switch, once developed.

Fewer patients in existence would make it less likely to be worth the initial investment in the process if the cost is large -- a classic scaling problem. Imagine if operating systems or web browsers were only used by a few people in the world; it would not be worth investing nearly as much effort into them as we do. It is also much cheaper to store many versus a few patients for long periods of time, at least if we are counting costs on a per patient basis, because of the square-cube law and its effects on heat transfer to and from large versus small bodies (dewars).

Furthermore, when patients go into cryostasis they always place money into an investment fund where it generates interest. The decision to invest that money instead of spending it wastefully during their lifetime or on prolonging their dying moments is one that benefits the people of the future steadily over a long period of time. All this talk about pushing the load onto the future or depending on future generosity is therefore silly. Yes, people in the future do have to cooperate in a prisoner's dilemma by not killing the patients and stealing their investments, but that's simple non-defection of the sort we routinely expect from peers (you probably won't kill me and steal my stuff). We aren't expecting any extreme sacrifices on their part, as long as the trust funds are not overwhelmingly evil about their investment strategies.

Designing Network Protocols
Haven't used it yet, but definitely will given how smooth the demo is. However I have two big concerns.

1. Are there options to backup/save an offline copy of the tree? Or a print-friendly version?

The reason is that family tree are meant to last over generations, and potentially longer than your web service (hopefully not, that would be a good sign for you :P). It is a bit scary to upload all my family tree, and update it without having an option to make a private copy should the website ever dis-appear. Printing a family tree would be pretty cool too IMO, might be an interesting revenue stream to look into, maybe?

2. Pricing: This is super expensive :( I have a family tree I would like to create, with more than 25 people, but really can't afford 7.50$/month. In many ways, it's more of a product than a service. I won't look at it everyday, or update it everyday. Only very incremental changes a few times a year. A fix cost, or 'yearly cost' would be more adequate in my opinion.

Evidence of trenches generated by the passage of the water crystal propelled by the LeClair Effect could be seen all over the reactor cores. The positive crystal followed the induced negative charge on the rows and columns of holes of the coiled perforated aluminium plate that formed the reactor cores, with trenches usually going tangent to tangent along the holes, orbiting the holes and also the sheet edges, all guided by electrostatic attraction. Many of the holes were progressively filled with transmuted material, transmuted material also formed on the sheet surface. A uniform width melted heat affected zone (HAZ) along each side of the crystal trenches could be seen. The trench was disrupted at many points along its length by millimeter-sized pits from the apparent triggering of small supernova explosions, which also contained macroscopic amounts of multicolored transmuted elements.

The large scale transmutation of elements was verified by three separate independent scanning electron microscope elemental analysis...
Yeah it sucks I thought I was going to have fun tonight but the script kiddies had to go and ruin it by hosing the machine.
Awesome looking site.

My two cents on the concept: As someone who has reviewed many resumes these stylized versions would certainly stand out but I'm afraid it wouldn't be in a positive way. I admit this is unfortunate, but I equate it to someone showing up to the office in a great eye-catching outfit that is not typical of office-wear. It shows a lack of understanding for 'how things are done' Now keep in mind I work in Banking/Cap Markets...I imagine that these resumes will be much more successful at more creative employers (start-ups, advertising, etc.).

Price seems very high. at $99 +$10 an applicant is actually going to be incentivized to apply to less employers. A lot of people (myself included) have stories about getting an awesome job that they almost didn't apply to. When the cost per submission is prohibitively expensive, it may do an applicant more harm than good.

Again, just my own personal constructive feedback. You guys clearly have an incredible knack for design. best of luck.
"By far the most frustrating thing about road trips (pre-iPhone) used to be dragging out the map then trying to put it away again."

That's what the back seat is for. Younger people probably don't know that.
Regarding the "super expensive" -- doing the math, it's not that bad ^^ But it "feels" expensive when given a per month billing price in my opinion.

One more nitpick: The website is really nice, pretty and lightweight, and the background images in the samples are pretty. However, in the pricing section those "0101010101" make it suddenly feel "old school"/not as elegant. I'd suggest using a prettier less flashy background image.
I don't know for a fact, but I doubt that this specific detail is enshrined in law. Much more likely is that the law requires certification from a bureaucrat that you are not carrying some terrible disease.

Greek bureaucrats have a lot of leeway and very little accountability, and their positions are openly coveted (among a portion of the population) for ability to extract bribes (it's very desirable to be a tax assessor, for example). These requirements may just be the bureaucrat's opening offer in the bribery negotiation, which can then be made "unnecessary for an upstanding citizen such as yourself".
You make excellent points, and I'd like to add one more:

Google's personalized search is just not as good as their unpersonalized search.

The time I was Googling for suitable Xmas presents for my Grandma should not influence my searches for valentines gifts.

Incidentally, am I the only one to mentally filter out search results that have the avatar of an online "friend" recommending them? Is that link was ranked highly just because someone I've never met tweeted it?

IPG is about to learn that one can publish an ebook without a distribution middleman taking most of the money.

(Think about the authors here. Amazon takes 30% of the money that goes to the distributor. The distributor takes 30% or more of that money. The publisher takes 30% or more of that money. And finally, a few cents are left over for the guy who wrote the book. How sorry I feel for IPG...)
If by "leverage" you mean "cash out", yes. The official word from the top of Google is that privacy is deprioritized in Google Social, and that the future of Google is Social.
No. Just that Google will do it for them in Chrome. That's what they already do anyway because of the security hole that Flash is.
You might want to look into Trac: http://trac.edgewall.org/.
Also, for the free signup at the top right of the page.... Please make the password input field a password input. It's scary to read my own password as I type it, and makes me feel a big unsafe.
brillant! I'm eager to try that at work tomorrow for my todo list. I like it small (fitting in the pocket) but the way I fold it it quickly falls into pieces
I agree with them that humor could be good for shifting emotions etc, nice article. But how do they know we feel one at a time? I'm pretty sure you can have multipule emotions at once, like angry and sad, or ammused and frustrated. I guess it depends on how you define emotions, maybe those feelings are just multi word names for singular emotions.

Now it is time that Google do the right thing and drop Flash, as well as hold their over a year-old promise to drop H264 in Chrome.

Not holding my breath though.
Yoe right about everything except where you mistakenly think that users care. Users who care are statistical noise.

I must admit, I hadn't thought about the changes necessary in the browser. What major rearrangements does it require?
You may have seen or heard about the new Google privacy policy. It takes effect tonight, and it means that your data from across all Google services will be amalgamated and will be available to other Google properties.

So at the moment your search history isn't associated with your Gmail account, your YouTube account, etc. but if you leave it there until after this change it will be associated with your account identity.

This is a last chance to remove your web search history (my account had over 15k+ searches) before it is associated with your real identity.

If you prefer getting the benefits of better recommendations based on your usage history, then leave it - that is the only major downside. If you are not comfortable with all of Google knowing your search history, then delete it.

This is actually a very good advice, especially for people like me who have hard time visualizing how complex things work. For example, when I tried to understand what the meet-in-the-middle attack is, and couldn't, it was incredibly helpful to implement it (https://gist.github.com/1062437). Then I understood.

Bitcoin & Gresham's Law - the economic inevitability of Collapse
“This should be a matter of concern and a cautionary tale for the smaller presses whose licenses will come up for renewal,” said Andy Ross, an agent and a former bookseller. “They are being offered a Hobson’s choice of accepting Amazon’s terms, which are unsustainable, or losing the ability to sell Kindle editions of their books, the format that constitutes about 60 percent of all e-books.”

followed by

Mr. Suchomel said the publishers were solidly behind I.P.G. “They were almost unanimously positive, saying, ‘Don’t change your terms,’ ” he said.

First, if the publishers don't care, or if they would simply prefer not to concede to Amazon, is this news?

Second, maybe I'm too young and too inclined to believe that technology may cure all ills, or this is just my ignorance of the actual requirements of the bookselling industry showing, but to me that "unsustainable" line reeks of "we're not willing to optimize our processes, customers be damned." If I'm not mistaken Amazon has singlehandedly propped up this industry in the last decade, so unsustainable for whom? If the answer to that question is three tiers of middlemen who are unwilling to take a hit on their profit margins due to some combination of habit, entitlement, and spite, why should authors or readers give a shit?
Forbes article on Facebook's security and law enforcement policies
Readability is a pretty big advantage.

I don't understand why we need color computer screens anyway. I'd much rather have 3x the resolution than 32 million colors. (Have you ever printed source code with a2ps? Much easier on the eyes than color-based syntax highlighting, but still gives you as much information.)

That said, I will immediately buy the next Kindle if it refreshes more quickly. The current update time is fine, but it could be better.
They are asking for code or a brief description of how you proceeded through the steps. If you're going to take the time to document the process (correctly) then it shouldn't matter that you have the root password. Presumably you'd get stuck at some point where you couldn't explain how you achieved the subsequent step.
Pretty poor reporting from the NYT. Amazon isn't "under pressure" from wall street to up their margins, they actually enjoy quite a premium valuation. And Amazon doesn't use cheap ebooks to drive sales of their kindles, it's the exact opposite - cheap kindles to drive sales of the ebooks. With the story so oddly slanted it makes me wonder who bought this placement.
Are you visiting from the future? :)

I believe this is happening a week from now (and the EFF article is still linked on the front page).
This would be a good time to start a site that publishes the lawyer's that come up with such cases.
That would at the least shame some of them from taking up such cases in future.
OnLive delivers ridiculously fast web browsing on the iPad
Sure, the actual volume of publishing and types of content have increased, but the range of abilities has dwindled. Users are only able to interact with each other through opaque centrally controlled services where the middlemen choose how and what the services support and approve (sound familiar?). Having different executable code and a data silo for every implementation of the same idea puts the users at the mercy of the proprietary services (see: any time people whine about a website changing). Their only choice ends up being which company to resign themselves to.

I was going to type this on my own Transformer, even got several paragraphs in, but I'm finishing on my Mac. See point 8 for why.

(1) The battery life really is awesome. I get a full day of near-continuous use - including video and such - out of the internal battery, plus another out of the battery in the dock. On the downside, the USB charging cable is non-standard with respect to both form factor and voltage.

(2) The trackpad really is useless.

(3) The task switching is just as bad as the author says. Each time I start Firefox, I have to guess whether it will have my old tabs or a clean slate. It's impossible even to know whether it will show up in the app switcher. Usually, if one application (e.g. twitter/email) invokes another (e.g. a browser), the second will disappear from the app switcher until you explicitly go back to the first, or else you have to go back to the home screen and launch from there. Even that broken behavior's not consistent, though.

(4) The built-in email program sucks, and K-9 is almost as bad.

(5) There's no decent ssh client. I have two - one which does tunnels but has atrocious keyboard handling, one which has semi-decent keyboard handling (Ctrl actually works and I can simulate the missing Esc) but doesn't do tunnels. Unfortunately they're incompatible with one another in some weird way, so using both simultaneously is a bit tricky.

(6) I haven't found a program to create/edit slides. I've tried for Android office apps, and as many online apps including Google's own. None could handle so much as a simple bullet list properly. Most couldn't even put the cursor in the right place half the time.

(7) Text selection and cut/paste sometimes work (inconsistently across applications) and sometimes they don't. Cursor keys sometimes work and sometimes they don't.

(8) Stuff on the web can be very flaky. Text-entry boxes (e.g. here) often don't scroll properly as you type, so you have to scroll manually. Sometimes you lose the ability to reposition the cursor either by pointing (see point 6) and never had it via cursor keys (point 7). That's why I'm on the Mac now, after two rounds of that. On other sites (e.g. Quora) text-entry boxes fail to keep up with typing and just randomly set you back to the start every couple of words or so.

That's a lot of glitches and complaints, huh? I must hate this thing with a burning passion, right? Actually I love it. For video, games, and passive content consumption it's pure awesome. It's light, the screen is a joy, changing orientations on a whim is incredibly handy. As soon as I try to do or make anything with it, though . . . well, then it becomes a big sack of awful. It's an amazing complement to a real computer, but certainly not a replacement for one.
It's pretty interesting to see that I'm still getting down-voted for posts that I think, at this point, do a fairly reasonable job of communicating their point, do it in a civil manager and pose a legitimate question re: expectations of the use of the open source paradigm in certain kinds of software.

I wonder if it's really just because I'm saying something negative about a popular piece of software, and people exercise the downvote purely because they disagree rather than have quality objections?
The EFF says:

[UPDATE 2/22/2012]: Note that disabling Web History in your Google account will not prevent Google from gathering and storing this information and using it for internal purposes. It also does not change the fact that any information gathered and stored by Google could be sought by law enforcement.

Take a look at the privacy policy for details on when your information actually goes away. (It's not overnight, but Google does make sure that the information really goes away: even from tape backups.)
It doesn't. Sometimes two wrongs (the prediction and the measurement) make a right.
Stop looking for mentors and start looking for people you're interested in? Develop friendships instead of mentorships?

If I don't know you from the next guy, why would I be interested in mentoring specifically you? I might as well spend that time to share my experience in ways that reach a broader audience.

However, as I get to know you, I will start to care about you. (Or cut you out of my life ;). As I take an interest in you as a person, I'm more willing to spend my time mentoring you, because I help somebody I know and like.

If there's no personal connection, there's not much of an incentive to invest time.

So, always build a connection first, then do the ask.
If the connector was bad or broken, there could be an air gap between the fiber and the diode, creating an unwanted refraction that could introduce transmission error.
> Additionally, if fsync = on in this test, then you're mixing a file system test with a database test.

Which is reasonable, given that file systems of any reasonable performance level (read: not user-space file systems) still tend to be bundled with one or at most a handful of reasonable kernel implementations. Turning fsync off would highlight some interesting bottlenecks, but I'm not sure if that makes for the most sensible comparison either. Not only is the fsync/checkpointing period of a database's operation important to model in a broad-spectrum benchmark, but some amount of file system coupling is unavoidable. One example is metadata syscalls to the file system, which have been a point of poor concurrency before[0]

I agree the fsync = off benchmark would be interesting, but I don't think it's fair to say that the information of an fsync = on test is a) less valuable/clearly improperly performed b) necessarily indicative of the most important bottlenecks for database workloads. A kernel that takes a huge lock during fsync(), for example, should be penalized for it.

Finally, fsync = off doesn't accomplish the stated goal of "independence" from the file system. And as seen in Robert Haas's post, non-fsync file system calls can be the problem in high concurrency situations.
