I think the author failed to understand one thing:

there are will be 2 kinds of Win8 tablets: x86 and ARM based.

The x86 tablets are essentially full-blown PCs, to which you can connect mouse and keyboard and they compete with netbooks, laptops and PCs, so the Windows license for them will be probably $90+.

The license for Win8 on ARM tablets will be much cheaper ($10-$30), because they compete with iPads and Android tablets.

I'm not just making assumptions. e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3731441 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3894404 and https://plus.google.com/106119964731604142156/posts/DkFAzuwm... and a lot of other stories.

I do believe that's the only difference, actually. Girls are not encouraged to enter tech nearly as often as boys are. Also they have fewer women as role models in tech. So it's not surprising that they don't enter the field as often.

Thanks for the links. I read the account. I was surprised to see that Morgenstern didn't mention Gödel's arguments. It only made a reference to the steps leading up to Gödel's own findings, like what he read on and how much time it took him, but never mentioned the substantial argument, which is what I wanted to read.

It's collectivist in the sense that it is owned by the people.
My take on it, its a non-IPO IPO, this is my reasoning.

Facebook has been trading for a while on secondmarket (a secondary market for 'qualified' investors). The prices have been pretty stable there. These people evaluate the markets in much the same way that every other trader does, and so their value calculation is going to be in line with what any 'real' trader might come up with.

Retail investors, the folks who made the dot com bubble so spectacular, have largely left the market as a mover. So any 'creative' valuations are probably not going to drive a lot of trades.

So trading on the NASDAQ opens up the process to retail investors but they aren't a significant factor, that leaves the more experienced investors and they have already valued the company and shown that on second market, so that the stock moves at all is probably more along the lines of the daily/monthly variations you might see in a Google or Apple or Groupon, rather than the sudden IPO pop of people who wanted to own the stock but were unable to get their hands on it.

That makes it a 'good' sign in the sense that the folks who valued the company in the secondary market were making pretty good guesses on the value. It is also another 'non-bubble' sign in the sense of over-exuberant participation by the retail investors.

Edit: replace 'going going' with 'not going'
The Facebook Contradiction
True, but always good to see it being overloaded with the positive meaning in the mainstream media. I don't think any other highly visible company has done more to reclaim that word in the minds of the general public than FB. Kudos to them for that.
I don't think there is any one rule that applies to everybody. Some people are just very skilled at making money. Warren Buffett has said that he always wanted to be rich. Others came into extreme wealth out of dumb luck and great timing (this seems more in line with Facebook and Google). The only common thread that I see is that to be successful you have to be doing something that you are very good at. That is a lot harder than it sounds because a lot of people feel pressured to do things that they really suck at but convince themselves that they are good at.
Since we can use the same sort of MOSFETs found in SRAM to perform logical operations you'd could equally well imagine computations migrating out into memory even without memristors. The problem is more one of computational model than physical process. People are certainly looking at things part-way there like grid-computing or whatever, but learning how to use these things efficiently is a hard computer science problem.
The point must surely be that one can add the these true-but-unprovable statements to the original axioms without contradiction. They fit just fine: they're all elements of Th(N). It's a poor analogy because the natural way of thinking of a jigsaw puzzle is of a set of elements (pieces) that are consistent (every piece has a place), so if a piece doesn't fit then it's not consistent with the others. But this is false if the pieces are statements in the language of arithmetic that are true of the natural numbers.

> I too would like to see the issue addressed on the client. A user should be able to configure their tracking settings in the browser, which should be respected by sites.

No, that would be addressing the problem at the server side, which is not quite what I had in mind.

Solving this on the client side means: The browser should make it as hard as possible for websites to track the user. Unless, of course, the user explicitly opts in to be recognized and tracked by this site (e.g. by registering and logging in).
If you take your average computer user, put him in front of an empty sheet of paper and tell him to put his thoughts on issue X in writing, you will probably find that he or she is not all that adept at this skill, and if you then pull out your trusty copy of, say, Nozick's Anarchy, State and Utopia, ask him to read it and give you a summary of the main argument in about ten pages, he or she will fail miserably as well. Yet, those people somehow manage to get through life. They just have no need for programming skills. Plenty of those people have a hard enough time coping with the UI when the windows have a different arrangement. I once worked in tech support, and one of my highlights was dealing with distressed users who accidentally minimized their Windows 3.1 desktop and had no idea what was going on... Sure, tell those people that they absolutely need to learn how to program.
> And there are former coworkers of mine (who lost badly trying to hold onto ISOs) that refer to capital-loss carry-forwards that their children will inherit.

> Nevertheless, the reality is at least the tiniest bit less bad than it sounds.

It is, for an investor who invests regularly, and a positive overall result - these things will cancel out.

If you don't have a good investment opportunity every 3-5 years, it's basically as bad as I described.

Small time investors (in my case, this was an investment in a friend's business), employees and entrepreneurs are worse off, although professional investors are, in fact, reasonably out of tax harm's way in this sense.

The statement "this fact is not provably true under the axioms of mathematics" is not provably true under the axioms of mathematics. Therefore, it is true, but we can never prove it.

I recommend approaching this via uncomputability, and the fact that for every program there is a proof and vice versa.

At my previous company we had the same problem, where people from all over the company would come up to us developers constantly asking us to do things which were great, but not really what we were supposed to be doing. Like you, we never got around to doing something that we said would only take a day.

One week we all decided to keep a notepad and paper next to our desks and keep a log of every time we were interrupted and asked to context switch and do something random. It was so bad, before the end of Monday our boss was so dumbfounded he completely re-jigged everything so it wouldn't happen like that again.

We ended up calling one developer pair the "consulting developers" each week, and only that pair could be interrupted. There was a huge sign above their desk advertising them for the week. We sacrificed one for the good of all, and it worked really, really well. AFAIK, they are still doing that.
People who know better can answer this more authoritatively. My two cents are:

1. Stocks are never priced "appropriately" in the US. Companies rarely adopt the Google-style book-building process (kinda like an auction).

2. FB like others was placed privately. What incentive does an investor at the roadshow have to buy it before the markets open? The incentive is the probability (nay near-certaintly) of an opening day "pop".

3. It's common for underwriters to have a 180-day lock in periods for employees who want to sell their newly-public stock (Linkedin had it iirc). This is another way to increase demand for the shares sold during the roadshow.

IMO the beauty of a hack comes from two places:

1) Doing something that can't be done by hand, OR
2) Replacing repetitive manual work, this saving time in the long run

IMO there's nothing "cool" about a hack that will only be used once and could be replaced by Mark (or anyone standing nearby) pre-typing the message and then posting the status to Facebook seconds after he pushes the Nasdaq button.

You could also argue that it might have been an opportunity for the engineers to learn something, but IMO you could think of more worthwhile hacks to learn from.
The Goldstein book is rubbish. Soloman Feferman destroys it in his LRB review.

"Those who are fascinated by Gödel's theorems—and the general idea of limits to what we can know—may still hunger for a more universal view of their possible significance. But they should not be satisfied with Goldstein's 'vast and messy' goulash, hers is not a recipe for true understanding."
That style is definitely not objectivist, real objectivist functions always take exactly one argument and return one argument.

> The media did have the same feat over the double-irish structure. It's possible that you did not notice this at the time, but there was definitely an uproar over what many considered to be tax evasion by U.S. companies.

There was a small uproar. I was following (and still am). And yet, the tone was along the lines of "well, if we took away their ability to do that, they'd take their business somewhere else, so we shouldn't".

Did any senator or member of the house propose a "minimal 30% tax" on Apple or Microsoft or Google? did I miss that one too?

> Note that the corporations are effectively giving up something -- so long as they want to avoid U.S. taxes on their foreign cash, they cannot use that cash on any aspect of the U.S. business. It's not the same thing as citizenship, but cash is the lifeforce of business.

I stand corrected, they are giving up something. But it's something as small as "by paying 2% taxes instead of 30%, you give up the right to cut your own hair - you have to go to a barbershop".

e.g. Apple bought several companies in the last couple of years in Sweden (Polar Rose), Israel (Anobit), and the US. They paid for the first two with outside money, and for the last one with US money.

If all their money was repatriated....., it wouldn't have mattered to them at all.

Furthermore, they're all banking on a "tax free" or "low tax" repatriation day, for which they've been lobbying for a while; they got one 15 years ago. Corporates taking the long view can bank on that. People can't.

> That determination is for a judge to make.

Exactly. The relevant laws are already on the books. Schumer is just looking for votes.
This basic principle, condensed into a comic: http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2347

A smart way to avoid this is to realize that sometimes "your brain wants to feel bad, so it's determined to find a reason to feel that way." If you were feeling great and now feel awful because of a thought (or reading unrelated news), then this is probably what happened.
Hmm... Couldn't it just be that men are discouraged (!) from entering basically any field other than science/technology these days? Just have a look at the gender distribution in most majors.

I agree with the previous comment...a new site should focus on usability as the site has one chance to create a good first impression and have a repeat visitor. Another good feature to have is a feedback dialog. Site can be vastly improved based on constructive feedback by diligent users.

"(survey) on young Canadians’ expectations of what they would be earning 10 years after graduation, and what they were actually earning 10 years after graduation. The expectations: Totally in line with Carrick’s letter-writer — about $90,000 a year, with, one would assume, the tailored suits, fancy cars, power and prestige to match.

The reality: $31,648. Considerably less than the self-pitying letter-writer’s $36,000."
It's not really logic though, just irrational human emotion. If we could look at it logically, we'd realize that $1B makes you no better than $1M, or $100K, or even less than that.

Mentorship is a valid point, however the articles and discussions shared in sites such as stackoverflow and other sites are beyond scope of understanding for a school student. Hence a place where students can share their knowledge and discuss among themselves to stumble upon a solution was my thought. Also whenever a person with good/more knowledge comes in place, students might use their help to solve homeworks which deceives the purpose of homeworks.
I agree with him when he says computers should be smarter, more intelligent. I am working on a project that explores this idea. You would probably put it as programming a computer by communicating with it. Balancing preemption with annoyance.

On the other hand, I also still think everyone should learn to program as it is good for your brain, aids in learning/exploring extremely abstract mathematical concepts and is practical. Somewhere between the usefulness of basic math skills and either advanced grammar skills or elementary physics.
As a timely example, right now Air France's mileage booking tool is down. You would never know that from the fact that there are links in their Flying Blue club to "book a miles flight", and on the page it links to a prominent call to action to use the flight booking tool... what tool? and no error message.

But they're all bad -- mileage booking tools where no mileage pricing is displayed, revenue-fare booking tools where they are displayed "in order of price" without pricing until you click a tiny link to the next page, etc.

You got it right, Chuck.

This is simply a transfer of wealth between Wall Street and Facebook's major shareholders. (not a broad base at all)

It was made possible because Wall Street believed every Facebook user would try to get in on the action in the open market.

It turns out retail investors and Facebook users didn't join the anticipated mania and now, the valuation of the company is what Wall Street made it out to be and not much more.

In other words, from here on, Facebook's valuation and Wall Street's ROI will solely depend on Facebook's financial success. Obviously, for Wall Street, this is much slower and much more work than having a stock take off on the basis of a mania.

If the financials don't turn up in the next few quarters, watch out.
