There are a lot more Windows desktops than UNIX servers. Just picture that every UNIX server is in average serving more than one Windows machine.

Also, it is way easier to attack a desktop than a server. Desktop users are more careless than server admins and have many more different applications malware can use to gain access: im apps, browsers, media players, pdf viewers, flash runtimes, etc. To attack a server you have to find an exploit using an http, ftp or ssh request to a limited and more secure, in general, set of programs.

Apple is growing very fast and it is finding itself in that position now. You can see that in the new security measures of the Mac App Store. By limiting what apps itself can do you limit what malware gaining access to those apps can do. Maybe Microsoft should have done something similar to prevent Windows from being the virus hub.

Because in practice those taxes can’t be collected from consumers. Which means that Amazon gets a big unfair advantage vs. local stores. It’s stupid to have a reverse-tariff only charged to local businesses, because purchases from out of state send profits away, harming the state economy.

Ultimately, states should probably scrap sales taxes and raise capital gains, inheritance, property, and income taxes to compensate. Those are all tough politically/legislatively though.
Sorry for the confusing use of the term. UAV means unmanned autonomous vehicles. UAV in reference to aerial platforms is mostly the result of marketing/media.

Even the early Daimler-Benz projects of the 90's had fully functional software stacks that had implemented all the required decision making logic of driving.

While it is true that we have cameras and microphones that work better than our own eyes and ears, I don't think anyone would dispute the fact that the sensory processing isn't to human levels yet. The advancements that have been made are in different types of sensing devices that eliminate the need for heavy post-processing of data (image pattern recognition, etc) in software.

I do give credit to Google for making it happen, both as an integrator, and in lobbying efforts. But there is a lot of standing on the shoulders of giants, in comparison to pure software fields where they have made huge industry disrupting shifts (like BigTable, GFS, etc).
Australia 'invents' WiFi, sues
The analogy doesn't hold. If I live just across the border from a dominos pizza and they deliver me a pizza the driver has to obey the speed limit but somehow according to this case he gets to ignore the sales tax of my state?

Sales tax looks like it should be charged at the physical point of the transaction. If Amazon creates a store in my living room through the magic of the internet that's a transaction that happens in my living room and should probably be subject to my state's sales tax.

Okay, I'll admit to being rather hyperbolic here. However, when you say things like, "This is something that people do." it sounds a lot like you're making a universal statement about people everywhere.

Arguments of the type of "well, I've seen lots of people do this" just smell of availability bias. I can't argue that you're wrong, but you haven't given a good enough argument for me to conclude that you're correct.
Nokia Lumia 900 teardown reveals mediocre hardware
I already have a proof of concept that works like this but requires no 3rd party servers.

My POC chrome extension uses a JavaScript based AES routine to encrypt text with a given user and passphrase. What gets posted to a site is the encrypted text plus the user name plus a unique string that my extension recognizes.

If you have the extension installed it will scan the DOM for text that matches the known pattern and decrypt transparently given that you have the right username/password combo entered in the extensions settings.

All that is left is to share the username/password combo to whomever should view the text via a different channel. I lost interest and didn't extend this to public/private key pair but that is the next logical step. Also, the extension needs a nice UI and maybe some visual cues on the page as to which text was encrypted/decrypted.

Lastly, once the text is decrypted by the extension, theoretically the host site could query for the decrypted text and send it back via ajax. I couldn't find a great solution to this using chromes pathetic api's for extensions.

If anyone is interested in this, just message me.

OpenCL is only vaguely JIT like in the common sense. If I recompiled Photoshop so each image transform were completely unrolled and optimized for the image's dimensions, that'd be a closer approximation. It's more like online static compilation. You could kind of get the same effect using libtcc. [Now I'm not sure if I'm agreeing or disagreeing with you. I can't quite articulate the difference between JIT and "online static compilation", but I feel there is one.]
Why wouldn't Microsoft push Windows Phone specs above those of the best Android and iPhones? Don't they want to break out of the "other" smartphone OS category?

By next fall, Samsung and Apple will have new phones with even better specs than what they now sell.
Huh? Not paying taxes on out-of-state purchases will cause the price of in-state purchases to go up? Significantly? Maybe if the state government raises taxes on the in-state sellers to compensate for perceived loss of revenue due to out-of-state purchases. That is the state's fault. Mom-and-pop shops don't go out of business because their prices are rising. They go out of business because they are trying to keep their prices low to compete with larger businesses all the more complicated by a greedy state that is trying to tax them because they qualify as "wealthy". The tax system is broken and it won't be fixed because of political and/or idiot-in-the-street greed. No one asked but there's my two cents.

Are you really questioning that drinking is an enormously popular activity in most of the world? It's pretty common knowledge that drinking is popular, and its popularity is pretty close to universal. For example, according to the World Health Organization, drinkers are the vast majority of the adult population in most developed countries. Drinking as a common social activity is even mentioned in the Bible and other ancient texts.

The OP, on the other hand, is much more of a "Well, I've seen lots of people do this" argument: It's explicitly based on his personal experience with conferences.

Once again, the giants of sci-fi have beaten the scientists to the punch.

From Douglas Adams' Mostly Harmless:

A robot was programmed to believe that it liked herring sandwiches. This was actually the most difficult part of the whole experiment. Once the robot had been programmed to believe that it liked herring sandwiches, a herring sandwich was placed in front of it. Whereupon the robot thought to itself, `Ah! A herring sandwich! I like herring sandwiches.'

It would then bend over and scoop up the herring sandwich in its herring sandwich scoop, and then straighten up again. Unfortunately for the robot, it was fashioned in such a way that the action of straightening up caused the herring sandwich to slip straight back off its herring sandwich scoop and fall on to the floor in front of the robot. Whereupon the robot thought to itself, `Ah! A herring sandwich..., etc., and repeated the same action over and over and over again. The only thing that prevented the herring sandwich from getting bored with the whole damn business and crawling off in search of other ways of passing the time was that the herring sandwich, being just a bit of dead fish between a couple of slices of bread, was marginally less alert to what was going on than was the robot.

The scientists at the Institute thus discovered the driving force behind all change, development and innovation in life, which was this: herring sandwiches. They published a paper to this effect, which was widely criticised as being extremely stupid. They checked their figures and realised that what they had actually discovered was `boredom', or rather, the practical function of boredom. In a fever of excitement they then went on to discover other emotions, Like `irritability', `depression', `reluctance', `ickiness' and so on. The next big breakthrough came when they stopped using herring sandwiches, whereupon a whole welter of new emotions became suddenly available to them for study, such as `relief', `joy', `friskiness', `appetite', `satisfaction', and most important of all, the desire for `happiness'.

This was the biggest breakthrough of all.

Vast wodges of complex computer code governing robot behaviour in all possible contingencies could be replaced very simply. All that robots needed was the capacity to be either bored or happy, and a few conditions that needed to be satisfied in order to bring those states about. They would then work the rest out for themselves.
There's more to social mobility than just skill, however. As a hypothetical example, if a currently poor person who is genetically/psychologically predisposed to shyness and introversion learns a new skill, they'll still have the difficulty of forming the social connections necessary to know how to apply that skill toward generating life-altering levels of income.

I have always wondered when the cycle became self-fulfilling. From the timeline, it seems the turning point might have been late 50s and early 60s when you had the venture capital firms start to take hold with interest in small tech companies.
Fantastic pull quote. I'm reading this on my iPhone and felt too lazy to bring up this page on my phone to copy/paste the text to send to a friend, so I just voice dictated it. (Which I guess is a reminder that there's also the possibility that sometimes the harder choice is also simply the less efficient.)

To add some value to this anecdote, I'll share that I've been using voice dictation more often, both for convenience (as here) and also as a tool to help improve my diction. I tend to swallow my words and speak unclearly, so by having a computer check me I'm slowly learning to enunciate a little better and specifically figuring out which areas I need the most work. I am not speaking to the phone robotically, the only change from my conversational tone is the speaking of punctuation. (As for the pain of to/too/two and similar homonyms, the iPhone helpfully underlines these in blue and makes it a snap to tap and pick the correct version, a trick it took me a while to learn so I thought I should share.)
I couldn't understand the point of the article other than they don't like crowdfunding, small investors shouldn't exist, and they don't like the JOBS act. Could someone lecture me on what I missed?
My answers are contextual; the refunds weren't relevant to the other post I made. In Groupon's case, it does both: it includes money contractually owed to a third party in its revenue, and it fails to reduce revenues by the reserves to cover refunds. Simply having a reserves liability is not sufficient; under GAAP it is supposed to segregate out the portion of revenues potentially subject to refunds which Groupon does not do.

Also, as to the SEC investigation, it could potentially be for both, as fraud would relate to the numbers in the 10-K filing and other filings with the SEC, in addition to financial and accounting deficiencies. SEC investigations are not criminal investigations--the SEC does not have to lay out "charges" prior to beginning its investigation.

To be fair, that's quite subtle. Power relationships are often invisible and masquerading as something "light." It's easier to understand if you've been on the short end of the stick a bunch of times.
So the concern here is that crowdfunding sites will allow scammers to sell shares of nonexistant companies to average people?

It sounds like the biggest worry is that us "average" earners (under 100k annual income or net worth) have never purchased corporate shares, and are more likely to get scammed.
Though your post was probably downvoted for its unrealistic pessimism, I have to agree with the idea that much of humanity's labor is wasted. The question remains, however, what do people do with their time, and how do they feed themselves, when their labor is entirely replaced by machines?

Yes, the single biggest factor is age. You want a net-worth distribution where the wealthiest people are at retirement age because they're going to quit working and then that wealth will be spent in their retirement. It's like a roller coaster, you want to be moving the fastest right before you enter the loop so that you can be sure not to stall right when you're upside down (or embarrassingly fail to make it even that far and end up rolling backwards.) If everyone was going the same speed all the time, we'd just have boring flat tracks and there would be no point in going on the ride.
"Winning back" the overhead of the profiler + JIT is not terribly hard right now for long-lived processes.

You want to preserve the cycle. That's really valuable. You could in principle make deadlines a bit more flexible while still preserving the cycle. The reason we don't is that we're too busy helping startups during the cycle to read applications and do interviews.
I don't understand how anyone can make the argument that securities regulations are in any way effective after the Madoff debacle. I don't understand why the SEC wasn't just disbanded after it came to light they dropped the ball after being handed the case on a silver platter. Any regulation acts as a tax on legitimate business but the idea is the cost to legitimate businesses is out-weighed by the good done by stopping bad actors. If the regulations don't stop bad actors then all we are left with is a tax on legitimate businesses

No virtuous circle, or how India's Silicon Valley is... different.
But high income inequality and low social mobility (low social mobility isn't particularly in question) together as facts are at odds with a significant likelihood of folks to lift themselves out of poverty. Proving the "ability" is an existence proof about the future probability of anyone in the class escaping poverty being nonzero, and sets a very low bar for what is acceptable for society, in my opinion.
