Nope, the math here is a little different from that.

100 + 5% = 105 + 5% = 112.5 + 5% = 115.7625 + 5% ... = 179.5856326 - which is approximately an 80% increase over 12 years.

As for the tripling of tuition, let's assume that tuition accounted for 30% of the budget at the start of things above. Even if no other funding sources are decreased (which is not the case with public universities, but let's ignore that for now), increasing the cost of tuition by 79.58%, which is the same amount that the overall budget increased, gets us:

30 + 79.58% = 53.874

So if we still have 70% of the original budget covered, and we add it to our newly increased tuition cost, we get:

53.874 + 70 = 123.874

You can see that there's a bit of a deficit here.

All of that having been said, what is going on at UVa is pretty clearly messed up. Regardless of the changes that need to happen in the budget, which I think everyone can agree on, the BOG way overstepped here.

Unreal would be my first choice. A company recently sued Epic for how crap it is but they lost. Still, the fact that they did sue them in the first place tells you a lot but I'm not allowed to have an opinion.

If I could sue a language I'd sue bash. I know it'd be futile but there is a reason that so many replacements exist but maybe a better reason why none of them have supplanted bash.
RE "Zuckerberg's" Facebook idea: When I was at Georgetown University back in the '90s, at the beginning of each year a printed directory of the students came out. In that book, was a photograph of each student and their profile, including name, where from, where went to undergrad, and a few other things. That book was called "the Facebook." So the idea to take the physical facebook and bring it online, with the same name and same initial content, was just lying there on the ground for years, waiting for someone to notice it, bend over, and pick it up. As the concept of social networks speard through the populaton, the ease of noticing the opportunity grew more obvious. Finally, a few years after online social network pioneers launched (Friendster and then MySpace), someone noticed. I'm surprised it took as long as it did. How many other opportunities are hiding in plain sight. Many :) PS: Yes, ideas are "nothing" without execution.
What blocks the radiation (at ~2.4GHz) is the metal all around the cooking cavity. The holes aren't actually a problem: as a rule of thumb we don't worry about shield leakage once the maximum dimension of a hole (diameter, in the case of a round hole) is less than 1/2 wavelength. 2.4GHz has a wavelength of 12.5 cm. Leakage does not happen through those holes.

(It does happen through the gap between the door and the rest of the microwave, but there's some neat design work to keep it from getting too bad.)

Of course it leaks, though. It leaks so much that when I was working on sensitive RF receivers, I could see when microwaves were turned on for lunch hour in other parts of the building. It's the leakage that makes it interfere with wifi. Don't worry though, you absorb more RF energy through the wifi in your devices and through your cell phone.

I don't think it should be a goal of a startup (or any business for that matter) to not fire any employees. The whole point of a business is to be successful monetarily. Sure, initially it may be to get a product out to market or get a technology out there, but eventually the goal is to make money.

If the goal of a company is to keep all of it's employees, then it by assumption the employees will have no motivation to do well in their jobs, if it is known in the company that there is no threat of firing.

While firing sucks, it is always there looming. In a startup, this forces people to push themselves, work hard, strive for good results. It is the role of a manager to determine the extent of the hard work, but it is also his role to say when enough is enough.

Bottom line, if a company never fired anyone it would have no implicit motivational pressure of it's employees.

I can't believe that no one has suggested the use of RFIDs to measure blood-sugar levels! These guys already have a product that's under testing: http://www.positiveidcorp.com/products_glucochip.html

The point is that full-time employees are looking less and less attractive to someone like me who's starting a new company. The path of least resistance is to just adjust my business structure or model to minimize the number of full-time employees I might need in the future.

I don't know if this is generally true. But it's something it's a behaviour I noticed in myself, and others, over the years.

People starting their first company don't like hiring full time employees. They see a lot of extra responsibility - and a loss of control that they get from working with contractors.

People starting their Nth company positively look forward to the time they can hire full time employees. They realise that they can't control or manage everything themselves, and the quicker they can move from being the keystone that holds everything together the better it's going to be for the long term survival of the organisation.

I agree that current nuclear plants should be phased out. Unfortunately it is very unlikely that people can be convinced that other forms of nuclear power exist and should be developed, because the word "nuclear" will probably be forever tainted.

Growth Hacking: What is it?
> The "fire you for any reason at any time" thing that seems to be the general rule in the US seems a far more scary and demotivating mechanism from my perspective.

Do keep in mind that it goes both ways: employers who often exercise that right for reasons that appear arbitrary suffer from it in the long run, because even the good people aren't happy with management like that.

What's missing from your article, and from your response here, is why companies incorporate in Delaware as opposed to, say, Iowa. That reason is: since the turn of the century, Delaware has adopted a variety of tax and corporate laws which are highly, almost absurdly, corporation-friendly. As a result, Delaware has a well-deserved reputation for being a corporate haven.
How does someone get to be a University professor with writing that terrible. The content is interesting but the writing is atrocious.
You're assuming too much.

Appliance manufacturers go for the cheapest parts possible that still perform reliably under the warranty period. The motor driving that turntable is not a precision stepper or brushless motor with variable microprocessor speed control. It's a cheap A/C motor (perhaps with a drive belt for torque) that's switched to line current by a 30-cent mechanical relay. You can tell it's A/C when the turntable starts in a random direction each time it's energized.
The problem is of course that very few pieces of software beyond the benchmarks actually can scale to 1.6 million cores, so I wonder what the actual functional speed-up is for most research codes moving from the past generation to this generation of hardware, and what is the general lag time to bring a code online on a machine like Sequoia that can take full advantage of the tech.

Keeping out the riff raff? Those videos are targeted at Mac developers, not people having issues with Safari and/or iTunes.

>I'm on Windows (Ubuntu also, in a VM) running Chrome. Sure, I could install Safari or iTunes, but why do I have to?

Just because those are the prerequisites Apple made for watching them.

That said, I think you can also watch them without Safari for streaming (you just need Quicktime IIRC), but downloading them needs iTunes.

The first time I traveled to Australia I found an electric tea kettle in my room, and it was one of those ah-ha moments. It was a perfectly obvious invention, and yet, the idea had never before crossed my mind. As an American, you boil water the hard way, or in a microwave.

Impressed by the clean markup. Normally the HTML is horrid to accommodate the CSS.
Knowing that someone was the target of investigation/spying-on of one particular person would be very damaging to the credibility of a person. It doesn't matter if you don't tell the public why, the mere fact of telling the public that they were spied on is enough to damage someone's carrer & life.

It's debatable whether this falls under "privacy" or general "right not be slandered" etc.
So the problem with his argument is he bases his thesis off of a false premis. He doesn't use his tablet because he uses either his phone of laptop and he can't find a place to fit his tablet into his workflow. I have competly dropped my laptop and replaced it with the same tablet he has ( A Transformer Prime ). So when he said how often do I reach for it the answer is daily.

His second point about how the iPad fills the video player role in the apple ecosystem is a little disingenuous. Yes if I am an iTunes customer then obviously I am going to need to use Apples hardware to use what I paid for, however in terms of video playback capabilities the Android systems are so much better mainly due to third party video players and the availability of UPnP. so while you might be able to pre-order the newest movies I have decades of digitized DVD's that I would like to watch on my couch using a tablet that my prime plays just fine .

>It's fine, I'm barking up the wrong tree here TBH. Apple makes it clear that they want you to use their products to view this developer stuff.

It's also probably more convenient to them: they have this huge system for content delivery through iTunes, so they might as well use it.

That said, from a promotional aspect, it would make more sense to have the videos readily available for Windows/Linux users also, so they can lust over the development options for Cocoa/iOS.

It's not like they wont have to buy a Mac to program for it anyway, so it would do Apple no harm to lure them with openly available videos.
Unfortunately, for far too many people the full text of the engraving will be "Never again will we allow good people (i.e. those who think and look like me) to suffer things like this - no matter how many evil people (i.e. those who are very different from me) we have to kill to prevent it".

Uhm, I'm not sure if this guy is serious. (Shitty anecdote time) None of the iPad owners I know (maybe 20ish?) were iPad bound because of their existing iTunes content. The Android (Tablet and phone IMO) problem has been, so far, Hardware. (Shitty anecdote #2) Every person I know that switched from Anndroid -> iPhone did so because of repeated catastrophic HW failures of the android devices. That point aside, all of the new "best ever" android tablets leave me coming away feeling like the hardware is just not very good (Maybe "Well made" is a better word). I understand the devices are "faster" and have more memory. However, when a consumer gives one of these android tablets a look see they always feel kinda crappy.

I'm probably a unique user in that I think iOS makes for a better phone and Android makes for a better tablet. Sadly, none of the Android tablet HW has been good enough to make me switch. I'm interested in the new MS tablet though; Looks like it has a "substantial" build.
Having been on the other side of a 'improve or leave' action, and then getting an out of cycle raise six months later. I think the most important part is simply clearly informing someone they are below expectations. Many people, myself included tend to look for the upper and lower bound of expectations. Or as a friend said, you never show up barefoot on the first day.
>Neither have any of those.

You'd be surprised. They might have some videos and material for free (as does Apple, btw), but lots of other development stuff from them requires an MS/Google account.

I've always been bad at speaking (all my experiences were in school, so far... Not really "public"). But my one really good presentation happened in college. I'd stayed up pretty late the night before finishing the thing along with a handout we were required to give to the class (also my notes), which I was going to print off in the library before class.

Went to bed and next thing I knew my alarm was buzzing and class had just started. I had time to throw on pants, jog to class and immediately start talking about the French horn; no notes or props. I didn't have time to be nervous or worry, and was just genuinely engaged in the topic and it went great.

I recently struggled with balancing these three. When my ex-girlfriend started a mandatory "no computer Sundays", I knew something had to change. Here's what has been working for me: get up early. I wake up at 5am, have a few hours to work on side projects or freelance work, and then I head into work at 8am. After work, I don't touch a computer until the next morning. It's been just over a month and I'm loving the results.
If only it were so limited. The government has long co-opted banks, etc. to do their spying. See California Bankers Association v. Shultz (1974) and pay particular attention to Justice Douglass's dissent. This problem has been festering for decades and only now in 2012 (Jones v. United States, re: GPS searches) have a majority on the Supreme Court even expressed concern over the rise of the surveillance state....

Who knows where this is leading.....
From what I understand the "super-" only makes a difference in games where cooperation/defection make sense. The superrational player chooses cooperation because they know that all the other players are also superrational and will also do so. This is not the case in the game described, so I think that the superrational player would play like a plain old rational one.

My thinking about my future prospects as a potential employee (finishing school soon and thinking about the future) has led me to think about the things suggested in this article very seriously: I enjoy my hobbies involving the outdoors. I love hiking, climbing, cycling, and any other form of enjoying the outdoors. If I'm now trying to get a job at a technical company doing technical work, many founders and recruiters expect (sometimes even assume) that I will have some side projects I'm working on.

But I don't want to work on a side project for the heck of it. I want to stay healthy and enjoy my times outside. There is a brand of people out there that aren't just obsessed with the technical, and recruiters and companies who want all kinds of talent are going to have to be open to different lifestyles - including healthy ones.

I think though while you're happy with your tablet, you're very much a niche, not the mass market.

I've got an android tablet, a nice one not a cheap one, the Motorola Xoom 2, and I barely use it.

It's still on Android 3.2, doesn't handle typing very well (certainly no better than my HTC One phone), and basically has every problem that the author listed.

As to your point about video players and UPnP, how many people do you think have done that? 1% of potential consumers of Android? Content availability on Android is poor, and it just gets much worse outside the USA.
Yeah, you run into a fundamental noise:signal issue.

The idea is probably there is a small subset that is analysed pretty heavily and a lot else that's just retained on the theory it might be of interest someday.

The danger though is it allows a bit of a "show me the man and I'll find you the crime" mentality....
No most of the times especially if I have a UI. I am very lazy first of all like majority of programmers.
Secondly I hate writing code for tests for web applications when we can directly test it from the UI. Third maintaining tests is a nightmare and will eat up more time than developing .
To say it would be preferable if there were no profitable business model is short-sighted. It would mean that the only entities capable of undertaking something like this would be existing universities (and the wave of private companies offering a wide curriculum of online courses would end). Those universities that attempted something similar would at best be able to merely recoup costs. In short, the higher education revolution would amount to existing universities putting classes online. Why in the world is that preferable?
I know it's popular to hate on VC's, but after watching a couple bootstrapped companies suffocate themselves with lack of growth when it was needed most, well, just don't forget the alternative. Capital is very important.
