You're right that multipath is very different from SAM and OAM from a theoretical point of view. Not so much from a practical point of view though.

In current point-to-point systems you often use SAM to give you two "channels" across the link, most often referred to as horizontal and vertical polarity, but you then hook that up to the same MIMO technology that you would use for multipath.

I would expect OAM to be exploited in a similar maner for point-to-point.

The fact that SAM is very difficult to exploit for capacity in cellular applications makes me think it will be even more difficult to exploit OAM. IF you ever see it implemented my money would be on using MIMO to exploit multipath + SAM + OAM, where multipath would dominate in complex radio environments and SAM + OAM in simple more point-to-point like environments.

But that's just an educated guess of course.

Actually .me.tw would be possible, just as there are .gov.tw etc. so .com in the .com.tw is not a top-level domain (.tw is), it is a 2nd level domain in this case. so there could be xyz.tw just like .co was originally exclusive to government of colombia and you could only get 2nd level domains, ex domain.com.co etc.

Banks in the U.S. have been largely content with username and password security, perhaps because their sites don't let you do all that much -- at least so far. Now, with more p2p functionality coming (esp. cross-bank; see clearXchange), that might need to change in a hurry. Some banks (like Wells Fargo) do phone number authentication before executing some actions (like p2p payments). https://www.wellsfargo.com/privacy_security/online/advanceda...

At Clover (www.clover.com) we've built a payment app for iOS and Android which use client certs to great effect. Once your iOS/Android device is bound to your Clover account using the client cert, you just need a short PIN to protect against unauthorized physical access to the device.

Because we're a native app, we're able to hide all the nastiness of installing the client cert. When the app is freshly installed, we first verify control over a phone number (by sending a text or calling it with a verification code). If that checks out, we issue a new client cert to that device and associate the device with the account bound to the phone number. An account is locked to a (small) set of devices (e.g. iPad + iPhone).
1) Send a small devise that's actually a box of rocks to bank that plugs into wall
2) Call bank, ask if they installed the box.

Yeah, I think most people would rather work with a geek or nerd than a 'brogrammer', even just socializing with the 'brogrammers' seems awkward based on the article.

Folks have been talking about tablets being a natural fit for the construction market, and frankly I don't see it (at least for field work. Construction sites are nasty places - dust, concrete, bentonite, slurries, oil & grease, rain, snow, heat these are not good things for an expensive tablet to be around.

Furthermore, the trades guys are hard are their equipment. When it's time to go to lunch, stuff gets thrown in the trunk bed or on the passenger seat of the truck as they rush off. Even if a tablet survives the abuse, those guys rarely lock or raise the windows of their trucks on the job, so I wouldn't expect the tablet to be there when the contractor gets back from his break.

First, traditional prints are cumbersome, so they're difficult to pull out and reference in any kind of adverse field conditions. Large sheets of paper do not mix well with wind or rain.

This is true, but it's offset by their disposable nature. If I'm heading out to the field and I know there is going to be inclement weather, I bring a couple of copies and if one sheet gets destroyed by weather, oh well, I just break out my second copy.

And while large sheets can be cumbersome, they allow field workers to look at a small component of a plan in an overall larger context which can be very convenient (that's why the minimum size I typically deal with on a site is 11x17). On a 10-inch tablet, you can only do that by zooming and panning a lot and that's not nearly as useful.

I've been wrong before and maybe I'm wrong now but I can't help thing that this will be a frustrating experience for a lot of folks.

keeping the documents up to date.

This is a very good point (nothing like getting an "as-built" that is not even close to being accurate) but I don't think that offsets the downsides.
When they all were taken mainly by domainers they were going crazy that they'd be the new LLL.com's where the prices went from $xxx to $xx,xxx in a very short period of time.

However, what has happened with LLLL.com's is that they went very quickly to $xxx but have since dropped considerably so you can acquire LLLL.com's (4 letter.com's) from $15 upwards although if you want a really nice LLLL.com such as Made, Ball etc then those prices are different regardless of it being an LLLL or not.

Just have a look on Domainer forums such as Namepros, DNF, DigitalPoint etc and you can find some really cheap.
I have small hands. ;-)
How much was the .com? I've seen offered prices of $5K+ for fairly generic 4 letter domains...lot's of speculators buying and holdnig I guess...
can you send me an email, i can't find any in your profile. (if you are among those who already did, never mind)
> If society tells you to go kill somebody and you do, you can't be a sociopath.

So, if society tells you to stone a woman since she committed adultery, you would do so?
That was my first thought too. Any time I search for a domain name these days, my process goes something like:

1. Enter it into a web browser, see if it's in use or parked

2. If not, run whois on it at the commandline.

3. If not, decide whether I want to buy it. If so, do so right away, otherwise assume it will be lost in a day or so.

And I'm not even 100% sure I can trust the browser search, depending on what the DNS server I happen to be on does with failed lookups.

I recently obtained a five-letter domain name (Grovr) in .org/.net/.com, and felt good about doing so on the cheap.

I hit on the that name out of desperation leading to silliness. The idea has to do with directed acyclic graphs of trust relationships, hence trees, hence "grove".

There aren't a lot of real-world analogs, so I'd been struggling to find some short name that explained the concept. I was working with a few others until recently and they had picked names like "layervote" which I never liked much. "Grovr" is obscure, but it makes me happy, and I'll probably make trees the fundamental graphic theme and metaphor.

But now you're telling me that misspellings are actually a big problem? How much of a problem, quantitatively?

Does that outweigh googlability? (On the other hand, if you add one letter, there is a popular children's TV character there which I'll never outrank, so that might be a problem.)
God I hate the term "brogrammer". It just conjures up an image of that narcissistic wanker on the train who talks loudly so everyone can here what "cool" things he's been doing. Grrr.
While I appreciate anything that attempts to suppress the 'anti-social nerd' stereotype associated with programming and other specialist computing fields; I don't think it's entirely appropriate to do so by becoming the polar opposite of that. Especially by using stupid terms like 'brogamming' or making portmanteaux of words starting with 'bro'.

The aspirational tone of the article is dreadful, too. So one guy listens to Swedish dubstep? That doesn't make him a role mode. Just someone who has his own routine.

In fact, I'd hate to be defined by that... I've done all this amazing work, and people remember me only because I listened to Swedish dubstep.
I would say the act of "Pinning" an article of digital content is an act of comment. It is shorthand for "This is really interesting to me. Maybe you'll like it too?"
it doesn't have to be all or nothing. Since they've got the control - some exclusive content here, financial incentive there, and people will slowly migrate to their platform.
This panic over Pinterest is ridiculous. Why wouldn't photographers want their images shared with credit attributed to them? Isn't that the whole point, especially if they make them public in the first place?
I felt a bit limited by this, so I've just knocked up a similar tool with far more flexibility. Still actively developing it, but it's far quicker already.

Edit: Grammar.
Here is what i hope will pan out:

1. Steam OS will be powered by Linux + OpenGL

2. It will have unparalleled gamer-bias and developer-bias instead of revolving around publishers (meaning its truly gamer focused as what has been Valve's MO)

3. It will be just good enough in the graphics department but will instead lower the friction in the assets pipeline department, virality and player-analytics

4. Graphics will now take a backseat to story, AI, art-direction and pacing (due to the hardware spec being fixed and player measuring tools)

5. crowdsourcing features will be baked in thru APIs (Team Fortress hats as a precursor)

6. social multiplayer features baked in thru APIs

7. a standard controller will be mandated

8. optional accessories like bio-measuring gadgets (measure opponent's sweat, heart-rate and track gaze) will be sold online.

If any of this comes to pass then it would have made PC gaming much much more evolved.

Slightly off-topic, but hopefully others can benefit as well:

I am learning to program on my own, and I have tried some of the CodeSprint Fall 2011 questions (http://csfall11.interviewstreet.com/recruit/challenges/dashb...). Often, I find solutions that "work", but that score poorly because they exceed the time limit (e.g. Card Shuffling, 3/10, 9 points).

What books should I read (or what videos should I watch, etc.) to get better at things like this? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

You're an excellent little drone worker. Unfortunately, on their deathbed, most people probably aren't going to wished that they worked more. Maybe trying to find a girlfriend, a few good friends, dancing late into the night, learning another language, writing the great American novel, etc. should be part of a complete life.

At the very least, if all you want to do is work, start your own company. You're probably just making someone else rich who is enjoying life a lot more than you.

You only go around once and you can't take it with you.

Raspberry Pi network plan for online free-speech role
Perhaps psychology experts could chime in here: I've always been a little skeptical of the Stanford Prison Experiment's findings. It was such a complex experiment whose results might have been drastically affected by each participant knowing that they are the objects of study, the experimenter playing the "warden", people playing along with the game, etc.

I guess I suspect some of the conclusions may be true, but I've never really bought that the experiment itself provided good evidence for them.

55yo progammer here - ADHD on Dexedrine as a kid.

There are lots of ADHD type folks in programming. Even though you are more distractible, you can also learn to hyper-concentrate. As you age you have to take care of your concentration and explicitly protect it.

Things to checkout:
1. Coffee or other caffeine sources. ADHD brains are usually calmed by stimulants (up to a point).

2. Keto (http://reddit.com/r/keto). Brains run much better on ketones, often ADHD symptoms decrease. Also, many programmers are fat from poor eating habits.

3. Foam earplugs or a set of shooter's earphones - while music can block out distractions; it can also keep you from obviating problems instead reducing you to merely solving them. Silence is your friend. (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3D...)

4. Study or work environment free from visual distraction.

5. Learn about flow. Your hyper-concentrating ADHD brain will achieve it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology))

best of luck,
steve
You can't make too big a gap--I certainly wouldn't recommend non-technical people trying to hire engineers this or any other way--but maybe it's still possible for a reasonably smart engineer to identify an even smarter engineer.

"web 2.0 style domain names are NOT good domain names. More often than not people can't remember them and when they can, they misspell it and if they can spell it, it's only because someone had to spell it out when telling it to them"

Agree 100%.

I'd like to give my positive experience with leandomainsearch.com.

I used it when coming up with potential domains for a client (that was referred by a VC - a startup ready to launch with a new domain basically.).

Although the client ended up buying a domain (for sale) that I also suggested, I didn't tell them which names I found that were "free" essentially and which names they would have to buy from an owner. Or any pricing. I didn't want to color their opinion by creating a halo around the names available for purchase.

The majority of the ideas I got for available domains were from LDS. (In all fairness I also curated that list based on my knowledge since if you've used LDS you know it presents an overwhelming number of possibilities.)

The clients budget was about $20,000 for a domain purchase. In the end we bought two domains (one the one they wanted and one which was a typo of the one they wanted) for about $3500 total.

In my opinion the LDS names were as good as the ones the client wanted to buy. In some ways I thought they were better (but of course it's not my startup and maybe I was rated them higher because I choose them..).

The idea that I gave them when considering the final list (which took them several weeks to decide on) was to go out on the street and run the names by potential clients and consumers on this particular site and to see which names resonated with them. That allowed them to hone in on a great name at a reasonable price.

In any case even though they didn't go with the LDS name it was very valuable in the process.
Everyone who is doing business on the Internet should watch this Interview. See what could be also possible to any other Entrepreneur, if laws like SOPA or ACTA become reality. how can it be possible to shut down a billion dollar company and throwing the founder into jail over night without having even one lawsuit? this is so ridiculous. the main people behind the entertainment industry and lobby eventually should be in jail for behaving like criminals and being corrupt. I'm wondering how something like this can be possible in the U.S... What a shame for the justice system in the U.S.!

How to effectively manage your Gmail inbox
Kudos to the author for being so honest and writing such a post. Obviously he'll be successful at avoiding this in the future if he's taking such a personal look at the situation.

That said, I can't help but think about one of the most common statements I'm hearing out in the industry these days:

"We can't find any good developers."

Is it really that there are no good developers? Or is it that there is an over abundance of people without the skill, knowledge and experience trying to lead a company of developers?

I believe this is a good illustration of that point (not trying to slight the original author in any way).
under Supreme Court case law, officers have qualified immunity for honest mistakes

And thus, police agencies have incentive to keep their officers ignorant about the rights of the people. If the police are never taught the law, then any "mistake" they make is clearly the result of ignorance rather malicious intent. But if they're properly educated, then they'll be responsible for their own actions.

"But now you're telling me that misspellings are actually a big problem? How much of a problem, quantitatively?"

When you verbally tell someone about your site, how do you do it? Do you spell out the domain name? If not, people are probably having trouble finding it because it's not a standard spelling. And looking at the name I'm not even sure how to say it (is it "groover" or "grover"?). If you do spell it out, that should be an even bigger indication that people are going to have trouble because you had to spell it out in order for them to find it.
I'm using regularly the same trick to use free tethering with my phone. As I didn't buy some incredibly expensive option that explicitly allows it, simply declaring my firefox as a mobile browser allow to bypass the artificial limitation.

I certainly don't abuse it; simply from time to time you need some internet access (to check an email, to download some piece of software, to google for a technical problem) and I wouldn't pay 39 euros/month for a 3G "key" that I'd use maybe once a month, no thanks.
Please, please. Why go there? You've got this thread where you could be having a discussion on an interesting and important topic, but you're wanting to fork it into a personal attack over something that's irrelevant to the topic and that has been discussed ad ad nauseum on tens of thousands of other such threads.
Much better. I like this. Reminds me of when I did the same thing years ago with regexs to grab 3/4 letter .com (really there were so many available back then you had to whittle the list down).
The term "creative" has multiple meanings, and I think in the sense they intend, the software engineers at Pixar are in fact not creative.

The following story may make the difference easier to see. I've been interviewing a lot of independent filmmakers, asking if they'd be interested in pitching ideas for webisodes to brands that want entertaining content. The prize if their pitch is chosen is that the brand would pay for them to produce the series. So far the filmmakers I've talked to fall into two camps (actually one camp and one individual, but I'm sure there are other filmmakers like this person): the first absolutely love the idea, and the second basically said the money would never be worth it. The essential difference is whether they are creatives.

All of these filmmakers are paid very well for taking someone else's creative idea and converting it into a video. All of them love their jobs. But the first group of filmmakers then spends all their extra time and money making their own creative work. The second group has no narrative films of their own, and talked about what a relief it is that they don't have to be involved in the script, the storyboard, or any other part of "creative" (their word).

Software engineering is similar. I became a software developer after being a jazz trumpet player for 10 years, and the single biggest surprise for me was how creative programming is. You can come up with an idea and create almost anything with nothing but your brain and an internet-connected computer! The creativity in that is awesome.

But many developers don't actually have an interest in coming up with the concept or UI. And certainly most developers, whether they'd like to or not, have very little involvement in the core concept behind the software they're developing.

At Pixar, the software engineers have little to do with the plot, characters, dialog, or storyboarding. While I'm sure they solve problems creatively, and they do actually create the story by bringing the already drawn characters to life with realistic animation, this isn't what Pixar means by creative.
Your concern applies only any creative professional work where time input and work output are not clearly correlated, not just management, though.
