Benny Goodman was the first Bandleader that integrated his orchestra and small groups in the 1930s. Goodman's quartet feathered Teddy Wilson and Lionel Hampton.

I'm not saying Brubeck didn't do it, but he certainly wasn't the first.
Very interesting. I've been thinking about buying a topcap tracker from spybike-gps.com after my previous bike was stolen, but haven't committed yet as it's damn pricy. If you need any help testing or developing for it let me know. I'd be glad to give you a hand.
I agree with you somewhat. Turing machines are difficult to abstract into sensible 'commands' or functions without some kind of compiler or intermediate step. The trouble here is that kids get no exposure to abstraction and functions, which I'd argue is more important and fundamental than conditionals and loops, which are really just specialized functions at heart.

In fact, Ace (the Ajax.org Cloud9 Editor) is what Github uses for their file editing interface, so if you're editing files on the site directly, you're already using Cloud9, partially.
Using that logic, it may be in the law profession's best interest, but certainly not for the Best Buy lawyers who were aware of this.

Exposing yourself to detrimental litigation where the odds of you winning are low will probably result in you (the lawyer giving the poor advice) being let go and a new set of in-house counsel coming in to fix the mess.

This pretty much perfectly illustrates my comment below, pointing out that these sorts of recommendations are entirely subjective and useless.

Many of your points are quite subjective. I could do the same thing with Matlab. For instance, I find it mind boggling that anyone could get anything done when you have to devote a separate file to every single functions. That seems incomprehensible to me. And yet, I realize that that's probably a mostly subjective thing that you get used to.

Personally, I find R's documentation excellent. When people complain about it, it's usually because they have mistaken it for a tutorial. It's not. It's documentation.

Without any data, I seriously doubt your claim that Matlab has a much larger user base. (There is considerably more activity in R on StackOverflow than in Matlab.)

Your complaint about matrices, lists and data frames is similar. Data frames exist for the same reason that there's a mean() function: a columnar data structure that holds differently data types in each column comes up so often and is considered so useful that it is built in.

pandas in Python was developed in a way that went out of its way to specifically _mimic_ these data structures because data frames are considered such a vital aspect of R.

And keep in mind that these criticisms are all coming from someone who _also_ recommended against switching...!

How about giving people absolute copyright over their own nude bodies unless they have explicitly signed off a picture/video to be public?
Wait,

Keep in mind that if it happened that you had an AI that could quickly scope people's desires out, the application you would want to be selling would be:

"The 'it gives you what you want' thing"

Rather than any kind of fancy description. It wouldn't be the description that sold customers, it would the fact that it really, actually gave them what they want effortlessly that would sell them. And course, news is gives you a lot information to easily parse. So from the "I have a program that's unique in its language comprehension" perspective, this makes perfect sense. If the product was more specialized, it quite possibly would not have as much scope to demonstrate that it could choose for you.

Of course, whether AI could possibly work for this is another question but I can understand why he'd want to try this route.
Sadly you're right. The world was a bad place back then, extraordinarily decent people living in an indecent society. I like to think Brubeck amongst others contributed to the demise of segregation and the basis of our modern integrated society. He was an exceptional jazz musician and an all round great guy who was very grateful for what he had. There's no such thing these days as a real musician, Dave was part of a dying breed of people who got into music because they love what they do, not because they want to be famous or rich like modern day musicians.
Aha, that makes sense. Thanks!

Yeah, how long have they had file editing for? I remember seeing it last year, and realizing how quickly I'd hit a wall if I couldn't create new files.
Re: your point #3, I have developed this opinion of the US court system over time. It's really well-designed for big disputes, where the stakes are high enough that the cost of the process itself is small in comparison. In those situations, it's really great at getting down to what really happened between the two parties. But it doesn't necessarily scale down so well.

I think arbitration was supposed to be the mechanism that was intended to bring dispute resolution to smaller conflicts, but it's mostly turned into a farce unfortunately.

Bebop was created in NYC clubs during WWII during club dates that occurred during the recording strikes and shellac shortages.

Bebop didn't get commercial play until soldiers came home and heard the new sounds put down by Bird, Diz, and Monk.

In many ways, bebop and jump blues filled the gap between the two "music for dancing": swing and rock and roll.
It's a great idea and it's one that I've had too. The hardest problem you have is pricing -- making it all inexpensive enough for it to be worth it for you and your target market. Is this a subscription / is this a one-time purchase / is this pay-per-use?

Price too high, and only high-end bikes will have it. And high-end bikes have smart thieves / are already stored safely, etc.

Otherwise, I can see how this would work. GPS, batteries, low-power design, goes inside your frame and is visually undetectable, M2M deal with jasper wireless (or sprint or whatever), etc. It'll take a while to make it reliable and have a great user experience, but its totally possible.

Good luck and make it happen!

I'm unaware whether it's accounted as corruption only in Saudi Arabia but bribery is illegal in U.K so the fact that the government is refusing to investigate would be perceived as corruption where I come from.

"The Bribery Act creates the following offences:
* Active bribery: promising or giving a financial or other advantage.
* Passive bribery: agreeing to receive or accepting a financial or other advantage.
* Bribery of foreign public officials.
* The failure of commercial organisations to prevent bribery by an associated person (corporate offence)."

Good to have this on the table, thanks. This was in private beta when I was working with Stripe. The two limitations here for Gittip are:

- Stripe Connect is not white label. All recipients (aka sellers, merchants) have to set up an account on Stripe's website. I'm not opposed to that in principle (cf. Dwolla), but I wanted Gittip to have an on-site baseline and add options from there.

- Stripe Connect is 1:1, and Gittip is N:M. I need to take $1 from 10 people and aggregate that into a single $10 payout. I also need to take a single $10 payin and split that up between 10 recipients. Stripe Connect doesn't work for crowd-funding, in other words.

Stripe Connect is a retrofit. Balanced is designed for marketplaces from the ground up.

I wonder if car companies are going to be looking at lessons from the tech world specifically Apple and Microsoft and think: Ok maybe these guys ARE the new apple of car companies ... We don't want to be the microsoft of car companies so let's innovate instead of dying. I know innovation isn't exactly at the heart of the car companies but these guys can't be living in a total vacuum. Every single publication in the world is likening Tesla to Apple. The significance and parallels can't be lost on them. I would be really surprised if BMW & Lexus & Audi don't come out with their own competitive answer. Unless it's already too late?
Patent trolling from Lodsys now targeting big retailers
There is a loss of choice and utility available from Instagram, which create an opportunity for a competitor in the market. This increases choice and utility for consumers. In the long run, the market always wins and consumers benefit.

(granted, this is a simplistic view and subject to the whims of regulatory distortion and other externalities - I think my core premise is sound though. Even though these specific companies might be limiting options that just creates more opportunity for competition and stronger benefits for customers...)

The key risk for Apple is what its future earnings will be. Given that its current earnings dwarf anyone else, one must believe they will be able to be maintained which is equivalent to a bet that the iPhone will continue to be sold in high quantities with high margins.

In the last year Apple generated $55B in pre-tax earnings. They had $80B in revenue from the iPhone at a margin of >60% or $48B. They sell the iPhone for an average of $642 while the Nexus 4 retails at $299. If the iPhone dropped to a wholesale price of $399 ($100 pricing advantage), it would reduce pre-tax earnings by $30B (55%). If iPhone sales double that would offset about 60% of that decline.

Another way to ask this question is what total mobile phone profits will be in mature market. If there are 7B phones replaced every 4 years, that implies 1.75B phones sold. Cost will likely fall so revenue could be 437.5B. If Apple can capture 30% of that with margins more similar to the Mac (~30%), this suggests even if Apple continues to make better products and can maintain significant market share, they'll earn 20% less from the iPhone than they do today.

Of course Apple has an extraordinarily successful iPad business but its margins are much lower than the iPhone and as an unsubsidized device will likely face greater pressure.

The questions to ask is evaluating Apple are: When will their earnings peak and by how much do will they fall before they reach an equilibrium. While this may be anathema to some and I admire what Apple has achieved, large economic profits cannot exist in the long run in a competitive market. Why is a longer discussion but I challenge the reader to pose a counterexample.
It opens the door wider to competitors like app.net. The more restrictive twitter gets, the less competitive they will be and the larger the opportunity for competitors will get. This all benefits users in the long run.

Heh, no problem :) , a native English speaker might be able to point them out better, but some of the sentences are a bit awkward, for example the beginning:

"Before a while a new major version of the well known log4j logging framework was released"

Starting your sentence with "Before" is awkward, because I'm expecting another language construction (for example "Before log4j was released, X happened"), I would have phrased it "It's been a while since"...

There are other phrasing constructs that signal that you're not a native English speaker (neither am I, so maybe that's why I might get confused by your phrasing).

Sorry to nitpick, the main point was talking about log4j :) , I've already recommended trying it out to the Java developers in my company :) - they mentioned that they're currently using logback, but that the improvements in log4j sound very promising.
I disagree completely. I wouldn't have had a clue who Dave Brubeck was, if it wasn't for my son, who is a musician in the classical sense through and through. He has no illusions that his Jazz horn is going to make him rich. He does it because he loves it, and I know he's not alone.
There are a few things here.

First, the look at the protocol and see if you can simply determine what number maps to what card.

Next, presuming they are doing the simple thing (given their choice of random... this isn't that unfathomable) and numbering them sequentially you only have 4 possibilities. Thats not that hard to run your data through. There are a few more orderings that make a certain kind of "straight-forward" sense that would be good tries too.

Of course they may not be doing that, and have some sort of "random base deck". That would be a bit harder, im pretty sure you can come up with a system of equations to figure out the card number along with the system described in the article, and as such (and perhaps with a bit more data) still solve it.

Finally, there may be statistical methods to combine with the equations in the article to figure out whats happening. (which you may need anyway depending on how exactly get_next_card() is called and how random is called (same prng for the whole system, or one per game? etc)
And they are right. Amazon is the next Walmart, but on a global scale.

Apple is just a high-end tablet maker, and they are getting hit very heavily by their competition. You can't ride forever on the fanboy wave and the brand wave. Fanboys will realize the competition is better, cooler, cheaper, and Apple brand is already toxic, it's not cool anymore.
Chemistry in a Cone
1. Everything is organized around "perspectives". A perspective is a set of views organized to help you perform a certain task. E.g. Java (coding), Debugging, CVS, etc. You can customize any perspective as you see fit. I use Java and Debugging. They took me a while to get used to, but in the end it's a very helpful construct. Don't just make one huge 'everything' perspective. Instead throw them on hot keys (alt-1, alt-2) and just switch back and forth as needed.

2. The editor and other UI widgets (proj/file trees) provide a lot of information on the state of your world via various decorations. Example - you have a Java file open. It has compilation errors. Those errors will be highlighted in the "overview" margin. This shows as colored marks on the side of the editor. They are used to quickly navigate to different things. This specific example are called Annotations in eclipse parlance. The same decorations are provided at file and project level. So, at a glance you can see if project has errors and as you drill down, it's easy to locate which dir/package has errors, etc.

2a. If you put your cursor inside of a variable, type, etc it will highlight all instances/references of said thing in the overview margin. super handy.

2b. The same goes for CVS annotation (or more general "team" annotation). Even though this is buried in my list, it might be my favorite feature. You get line by line annotations (colored by age) and you can link this margin to a history window. Click on an annotation to see full history entry in window below. Killer.

3. Useful commands: CTRL-SHIFT-G (find occurences) and CTRL-t (open type), CTRL-r (open resource), CTRL-o (open field/method) and .... i forget the key sequence but the command to open class heirarchy. Those are my main ways to navigate. Open type/resource takes wildcards. Use them.

4. All of the above allows me to work with a reduce UI, sometimes, many times in full screen mode.

5. Understand that Eclipse uses it's own compiler. If you compile outside of Eclipse (ant), then those class files are thrown out and recompiled when eclipse is run again. You can get the eclipse compiler as standard jar and it works great with Ant and the like. If you have a mixed environment, then you def need to look into that.

I've actually ran in and won an election at the local level back when I lived in massachusetts. So I'm familiar with the process. Are you? How do you get your message out to that many people without money? How do you beat an established incumbent with a ton of relationships and a warchest? Knocking on doors doesn't do it at that level.

If you're feeling idealistic, get involved yourself next cycle. I usually do. Find a candidate you like and volunteer for them, you'll accomplish a little good and learn a lot about what campaigns do, make some connections in the process. It generally involves cold-calling households and knocking on doors.

I think that says more about you than the state of modern musicians. There will always be 'real musicians', motivated by their love of the art. Whether or not we can find them depends on how willing we are to dig past the shallow acts that top the charts.

Having someone build the prototype can help you learn how to build/enhance/operate your thingamawhop. And if you feel that strongly then don't use this non existent business idea.
