You're making no sense. The previous attack vectors don't go away when you put your keys into Chrome. Chrome becomes an additional option for the attacker, not an additional "step".

Yes they'd pay for the barn, but given directional drilling technology it's almost impossible that they'd have to do that the "holes" can be angled in from sometimes as far away as a few miles. IF they HAD to do it some guy in houston with a spreadsheet would plug in the barns cost and say drill/no drill in a few minutes. Hell, they might have a APP for that.
Primary considerations are centered around the presenter himself. He is the primary user of the slides, so whichever system he is most comfortable with will be the obvious choice.

Asking that the presenter dedicate less time to preparation and more time to constructing some sort of elaborate LLVM/emscripten PDF presentation just for the benefit of secondary users who won't/can't use arrow keys is fairly unreasonable.

Not exactly. I just really like to see that story described from a perspective of an engineer or researcher, with technical description of what exactly was done and best guess, why some particular method was used.
Wow. Amazing how quickly these have proliferated and evolved. Just a couple of years ago there were only a small handful of options, and nothing as impressive as some of these. Exciting times!
Beautiful and actually, in some cases, substantially cheaper... depending on how north we're talking about. I'd prefer it to Oakland -- but I'm ok with suburbs.

Caveat: I know next to nothing about finance.

Things that come to mind that help you save more as you get older:

1. Your previous savings will be compounding.

2. If you're lucky, you'll finish paying off a house which frees up a good chunk.

3. If your career is going well, your salary will keep going up, hopefully faster than inflation.

This is where economics can become an art.

Extremely successful people tend to work for passion more than money. A progressive tax system would not lower output in this case. Think Warren Buffet.

There is a swath of upper income folks who can throttle their work to their own personal marginal utility. A lawyer can choose to work for a low pressure firm for a great (not lucrative) salary. An IBanker can choose a less demanding M&A position at an established company for a substantial paycut. A doctor can choose a hospitalist position over private practice (or regulate his/her hours/# patients at their private practice). An entrepreneur can cash out of his first company and choose to not start another company. The restauranteur can be content with launching 2 successful restaurants.

Now the trick is how do you ensure the tax code does not stop these professionals from performing that extra effort. For many 400k a year looks like a striking sum but typically these folks are killing themselves for salaries in that range. Most could easily throttle back to a 200k salaried position.

How does one get started making schematics? Is there a simulator tool?
I think it gets used that way because it has been for at least decades now. Democratization of information, knowledge has long been tied to the idea of decentralization and distribution amongst the masses. This easily carries over to many of the principal ideas of the internet and the communication of ideas, designs, etc that it permits.
I would argue the euphemism often has the intention not to deceive but to strong arm the listener to perceive things along the lines the speaker intends. This becomes mildly coercive and when done for a social engineering purpose qualifies as Doublespeak imo.
That's incredibly short sighted. There are too many examples of large tech companies not in the valley or SF for that to be true. They might not be household names but that doesn't mean they aren't killing it.
Yeap, they can be stacked and the destination URL can be arbitrary.
I'll confirm San Jose being way too hot. I lived there during our YC summer and it was 90-100 every day. Palo Alto and Menlo Park are incredibly comfortable 10+ months out of the year, and maybe a light jacket the rest of the time.

ok, without your website I wouldn't have figured out how to clear the canvas and while trying I only found out how to save the picture. I actually went back to the website to figure it out. Another thing i couldn't find is an eraser. If you screw up a tiny detail you have to start over. But I like the concept of quick ideas scribbled on anything you can get your hands on.

Though I'm sure you will, I would say give it some more time.

My start with go was just like yours, but it quickly started to "click", and more robust patterns began emerging more naturally for me. I don't think I can verbalize yet what has made the difference for me, but it may something like "structure your code around channels" vs "use channels to synchronize your code".
Yes -- we had an internal versioning scheme that crossed 1.0 very early on. Having different internal and external versioning schemes went against our intuition of having an open development process, so we decided to bite the bullet and keep the version post 1.0. It isn't ideal, but it's done :)

Uncovering the Meaning in Your NGS Data
In my opinion young people tend to chase what they perceive to be prestigious, or evidence of their value in a field. In respect to the technology field I find this tends to manifest it's self in one of two ways, ether aiming for a major company such as the Googles or Facebooks of the world, or they aim to be a cofounder.

So if you mean do young people have an interest in starting a start up then I know there are a lot all over. But if you mean are they interested in going to a start up that they may not have heard of, but don't feel part of the founding group then I think that they are scarse.

As a 19 year old who is currently studying Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, I would say that most of my peers fall into ether trying to work at a tach giant, or learning what they can at different start ups with the end goal of eventually starting their own.

This is just my opinion and is clearly anecdotal but from my experience i think this is fairly accurate.
You do realize that, objectively, Martin Luther King was more instrumental in the Civil Rights movement than Lyndon Johnson was, right?

Oh, wait, you might not, because the Texas Board of Education took it upon themselves to re-write history.

I haven't been in school for a while, but they rather discouraged any tinkering with the computers while I was there. Merely launching the command prompt was enough to be written up by a teacher. Trying to 'experiment' in any way would have gotten your computer privileges revoked.
We do something similar for our Explore feature on MileWise, just our deals include prices in reward points. We compare current prices to historical trends to figure out if a price is a "good" option. I like Hipmunk's idea of Subscribing to specific deal feeds.

Yeah, I wonder how much customers they lost because of the supply problems.
I was very existed on the day it started selling (or DDOS those two sites), wanted to buy two. But I wasn't able to, so I waited few weeks until I could place an order, but my interest faded with time, and as of now (almost year after they started selling it) I still don't own zero respberrypis.

Would be really nice to see a demo of RethinkDB under real load. All of the RethinkDB slides and info I have seen generally have 1-4 servers and maybe 50mb of data at most. At this level, you might as well just be using textfiles...

Anybody know of any demos of RethinkDB handling, say, 100gb of data? And running decent queries on it?
I seen the RNG get seeded in later examples. This may just be an unseeded RNG and an unfortunate sequence that gives an illusion of an order.

"Happy Birthday to You" is copyrighted, and public performances of the song likely count as copyright infringement. That is the reason that most major chains have their own version of the birthday song. I am not claiming that Warner is going to send a paramilitary team into your home the moment you sing the song; it is, however, a commonly given example of how out-of-control the copyright system has become.

that just sounds like an accounting trick. if Mississipi had higher revenue it could accomodate for more social services without the help of California.

i'm not very familiar with this stuff, but i believe states like California have better social safety nets than states like Mississipi. so different states don't even actually start from the same place

Designing the New Mac Pro: Technologies & Wishes
Your impressions of Vancouver are dated by about 5 years. A lot has changed over the last few years with the Olympics, Canada Line, BC Place renovation, Convention Centre, Shangri-La being built, etc.

> There is zero night life in Vancouver, and a few very good restaurants (but a lot of great sushi restaurants, much better than SF).

The problem with Vancouverites is that they just like to complain about the bad nightlife even though it is actually fairly vibrant. I have lived in Vancouver for about 15 years now and most of that time I've lived downtown. I can go into almost any bar and hug the bartender. There is a good live music night almost every night of the week. (Guilt & Co, Railway, Commodore, Media Club, Orpheum)

> Downtown is practically dead by 8pm, which is nice. Granville Street which should be like Market Street, is instead almost like a dead street, Robson has a lot of tourists, but no real culture except coffee shops.

Downtown being dead by 8pm is no longer true. At 30,000 people per square mile, it's one of the densest cores in the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_Vancouver

Granville and Robson are the tourist trap and drunk college kids strip. Gastown is usually packed on Friday and Saturday nights with drunk 19 year olds. Most of the locals hang out in Gastown, Yaletown, or South Main depending on your scene preference.

The sushi in Gastown is garbage, but Yaletown probably has better sushi than the rest of Canada and the US combined (Ki Isu, Honjin, Bistro Sakana, Minami, Blue Water, Hapa Izakaya).

And a list of more restaurants:

+1 -- one of the biggest hurdles I had when I got my pi was actually connecting to the thing. I don't have a TV, and neither do any of my friends.

Eventually I just brought it in to work and plugged it into one of the TVs we use for information display for our customers.

--

Since then, though, I've started work on this: http://raspihacker.com

The aim of this is to address some of the problems that I encountered with my raspi.
I had an interesting conversation with Alan Eustace (who was in charge of engineering at the time) about this. We had just hired, abused, and lost a guy who had been the CTO of his previous company, got hired in and forced to clean up message catalogs in i18n code, and quit after the slotting committee decided he was really 'junior engineer' level and should be put on a performance improvement plan so that he could learn to "step it up."

I don't know how common his situation was, I was fairly outspoken (no surprise) and he had reached out to me early on when he was trying to figure things out. The PIP (which is basically a pre-cursor to being fired) basically put him over the edge, and he quit. The sad thing was of course this guy was really smart, had excellent design sense, and knew more about the way Java worked than I did and I was one of the original developers of Java at Sun! A real top notch kind of guy.

He had been caught in the 'perfect storm' of which there were many, of a manager whose project was strategic to the company and understaffed, a skillset that waaay out ranked his assignment, so even doing perfect work it wouldn't begin to show his capabilities, and a 'peer review' system that primarily tested social engineering skills rather than technical skills. Everybody lost. He lost his job, Google lost a great engineer, the system lost an opportunity to improve.

The essence of the discussion with Alan boiled down to "Its a complex system and its going to have some failures, but by and large it works well so unless you can come up with something better we're stuck with it."

So in some ways the interview process is a good test to see if you might be the kind of person that would do well at Google.
I bought one for a NAS. Funny thing about the Pi as a server is, it's less powerful than every client that will ever connect to it.
Hmm it offered me a flight from Oakland to Vegas for $88. I clicked through and saw this: "The price we showed you earlier for this search is no longer available. We apologize for the inconvenience. ​" and lowest price was $108. :(

Edit: I tried again with different dates and was able to find a flight for $88. So guess it just needs some fine tuning.
To be honest, I feel like in your minimalist efforts you have created an easy-to-draw-with app, but not necessarily one that's easy to use. The grabber should take you to something akin to an action sheet (no real minimalism inherent in that - design your own) and should have the save option inside there, instead of two different functions (one unintuitive without reading a description of the app, or you telling me on an internet forum).

Beyond that, I like the ease of drawing and the clean look of the app.
I love Google and will always do. I have some fears for facebook though and also Larry should try to mind his business. I will always prefer Google+ to facebook but I just cannot move all my friends over. This could sound weird but I would suggest Google does some facebook login and consume some facebook open APIs but they won't because of arrogance and if they do out of humility, I won't be shocked if facebook block them.

Anyway, long live Google.
I forget exactly which postmortem article I read it in, but this was actually a problem solved between the 2008 and 2012 Obama campaigns. The 2008 technology, while still successful, was still too diffuse for top managers at the 2012 campaign and had no overarching hierarchy, so they worked quickly to fix that.
Seems to me that a bigger problem, at least for ARM SoCs, is that the SoC vendors are only developing binary drivers for Android's kernel+framebuffer. X11 and Android have a rather different model for GPU drivers, and you can't just port a binary driver from one to the other.
3) Opening the comments of an article in portrait mode and then going landscape on the Nexus 7 crashes the app completely (presumably due to the multi-panel mode in sw600dp+ screens?)
If I am interviewing you, I wouldn't mind you giving me a puzzle. Depending on how you do it, I would think you are either the world's biggest asshole, or a very easy guy to work with, and that's very valuable information.

> Does it bother anyone else that anyone who thought they would "only sell 1,000" had to be exceptionally dense? A blindness to the marketability of a $35 linux computer stuns me,

Not totally. There was beagleboard and other such systems that were also popular with DIY/Makers, that could also run linux that could run fancy graphics, and were $50-$100 but they never took off like Rasp Pi has. Perhaps it was just the right time.

I also seem to remember that there were better PR. Words like 'credit-card sized' and 'desktop replacement' seemed to appear along with RaspPi more often whereas BeagleBoard had "embedded system" and "OMAP" and other technical jargon. Less consumer oriented so journalists couldn't relate to it and hence it didn't get as much exposure.
While fairly basic, the Arduino boards are probably some of the most documented out there and would be a decent starting point.

Yes, I'm not done. I am mostly just a bit disappointed that it still remains relatively easy to get into trouble with concurrency. It takes much more work to get in trouble with those other environments. It is a positive that it does scream bloody murder, rather than silently corrupting things or the other ancient failures of shared-state threading.
I've been using Thinkpads for years and find the new chiclet keyboards just as good, if not better than the older ones.
I doubt it and it doesn't matter if he could or not, at least IMHO.

His job was to find the people to build the next great idea he had, not necessarily to do it himself. At least from reading the book written about him it seems that was his process in general. Not that I have any first hand knowledge of that, just what I read.
machine learning in general is a domain for specialists, it won't most of the time if you don't know what you are doing.
As for a small market, I disagree. there may be few people who understand it but these are the ones that are put in charge of trillions of rows of data to analyze too.
Thanks for your thoughts. I always thought a little effort to learn the interface upfront is worth it to keep it simple for the long term.
