We're not talking about terminating an agreement. He would have to continue paying his old contract, because he said he would. Now, however, he would be able to take on a new contract with a different company, whether immediately or later on, preventing him from forever being stuck with the same carrier for that phone.

It's not like a mortgage, where the bank technically still owns part of your home. It's a package deal. When you buy the phone, subsidized or not, it's yours. The US legislature has made it illegal for you to unlock the phone, despite that fact.
What makes price discrimination unfair? Nvidia needs to recover costs and earn a profit. They do so by segmenting the market. That they are able to do so in this way suggests that no one else is able to perform the R&D necessary to sell these tools at a lower cost.

If you have a slice of a vector (`&[T]`), then you can also move it forward, like pointer arithmetic in C except checked to ensure that you don't overflow the bounds of the vector. Of course, if you have an unsafe pointer, then you can perform raw pointer arithmetic on it as well.

You can create references using `&`, although I didn't show it in this overview.

> Sure, there are ways around this, like buying a million rubber duckies in China, then shipping them to the US and selling them at carnivals. But -again- try to import a million of anything, and US Customs will want to know your name and SSN.

Importing and selling that volume of products also kind of defeats the purpose of running a drug cartel. Drug money is quick and easy, rubber ducky money, not so much (which is quite counter-intuitive if you ask me). At some point you will become more involved in the rubber ducky game, funded by drug money.

I didn't choose the duck life. The duck life chose me.

I am still skeptical of that stement: the medical cost of Abott's product is high. That does not mean the manufacturing cost is high. In fact, as I mentioned, I think the margins are what is extremely high.

23AndMe doesn't tell you much about your DNA actually, they can only tell you some things about already known variations.

I can also see this in the obligatory car example: your car has the same engine as a nicer model but is just de-tuned with software. Is buying a Mercedes C63 AMG and flashing the ECU to unlock more horsepower effectively "stealing" the SL63 that has the full horsepower unlocked? Of course not, because you still have a C63 and not the SL. In the case of the GPU, you not only get no "professional level" support; you void your warranty (this second part probably also applies to the car).

Is a professional going to risk it to save a few bucks? I'd bet not.
It isn't that I don't believe you, but I don't see a license file in any of the Google-owned extensions I have installed. Source?
This makes sense because "buying" software is different than "buying" hardware.

When you buy (a license to use) software, (at least nowadays), you're paying for the right to use the software, not the actual bits on the disc/file.

When you buy hardware, you're paying for the materials and manufacturing effort that produced a physical thing.

Given that mass reproducing hardware is non-trivial compared to software, there is often little/no/paper-thin DRM on hardware. Thus the OP could modify his graphics card.

On the other hand, look at cell phones. Given their legal connection to a service contract that is enforced with SIM cards, providers have a convenient form of DRM to enforce limitations on modifications.

Epic Answer - Avoiding If statements
I look at them every time I'm shopping for a laptop. They never offer anything comparable to a proper Thinkpad. The laptop you're linking to lacks nearly everything imporant:

* No trackpoint
* Touchpad buttons are in the wrong place (must be on top, under thumbs)
* No IPS display
* Keyboard is crippled. Compare to a proper keyboard [1]

The #1 and #2 basicaly mean "this laptop has no mouse" Apple-style touchpad is useless for people who type a lot (you can't use them while your hands are in FJ-position).

#3 means "cannot work with images with more than 65K colors".

[1] Proper keyboard:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/typo3temp/pics/ea701ff5cd.jpg
Things to notice:

* Giant "Esc" key
* Dedicated forward/backward buttons for browsing
* Full-sized Fn keys
* Dedicated blocks for navigation keys
* Because it's ergonomic, it's not a dumb rectangular shape. Lenovo hates
this IBM design because it is more expensive to produce.

Also, look at how UltraNav works: you can use the mouse by keeping your hands in a typing position (FJ). This way you can nearly instantaneously replace the previously typed word by using the trackpoint + buttons under your thumbs. This speeds up your typing or coding significantly. This gives Vim/Emacs users superpowers! :) Cheap laptops force you to move your hands a lot to switch between the mouse and keyboard.
Not necessarily taxes, it's "legal tender" to settle all debts, public (taxes) or private (any private contract). You can pay any debt in the equivalent amount of USD. If I owe you bitcoins I can choose to pay you in USD and you have to accept it.
I thought the common knowledge on why the "workstation" cards were more expensive than the gaming cards was that you're paying for the driver development for the pro cards (extra stability testing, CAD software compatibility or whatever). What this guy is doing here is just changing what driver the card tells the computer to use.

So really, this is equivalent to software piracy/unlocking software with a product key. He's not changing the actual capabilities of the hardware, just what driver software it unlocks.
When a working chip is crippled, that's a destruction of economic value. It may be offset in the long run by helping sustain Moore's Law, but that claim is very much in need of evidence. You have to actually consider what the computer market would look like if we could now buy the flagship CPU from 3-4 years ago for little more than the marginal cost on a mature process. That level of performance is good enough for most users, and could be available for ARM kind of prices. Imagine if the Raspberry Pi were twice the price but powerful enough to be your primary machine.

I assume that you use a WSGI server which allocates one greenlet per request (e.g. gevent.wsgi, or Gunicorn's async workers), and make sure that the rest of your code isn't going to block the event loop too much. Once that's done, you can have a whole bunch of HTTP requests being handled at once. That's nice if your server spends most of its time blocking on database requests or something.

I've heard the ctrl and fn placement is an issue for many people, but I don't understand why you'd want the more frequently used key further away than a hardly ever used key. Or maybe people actually use fn more often than ctrl? That doesn't seem likely.

Professional vid cards are usually about multiple displays so saying that's crippling might be a bit harsh IMO; I'd say it's "differently allocating" resources.

Is it worse for gaming only because of multiple displays (I.E. actual difference in architecture) or is it different in how the funcionality is offloaded by the software based on the device ID? Until there are benchmarks of an actual game played being played before and after, it would be pretty hard to tell.

> I am contemplating ordering a T530 and perhaps an x230 in top configurations and keep them in a closet for future use.

Welcome to my world. I exclusively use Thinkpad T40s, T41s, and T42s, the last few models to be manufactured by IBM prior to the 2005 selloff. (The T43 was the very last, but had more hardware issues for some reason.)

Even today it's not difficult to find used models in decent condition. They last me a few years until I utterly destroy them, which is something of an inevitability given the amount and type of usage they see. When that happens, I buy another for $150 - $200, pop in the old hard drive, and I'm off.

Thinkpads are amazing.

Edit: While quality initially suffered in the IBM -> Lenovo handoff, I do think it recovered eventually. The x220 and x230s I've used at jobs seem just as solid.

For some reason my previous comment got killed. Let's try again (with some edits for conciseness, and a mixup of the ages).

1. I think incorporation is too premature. All you guys have is an idea. Its the product that you build that actually matters. While it's a good idea for you guys to come to a basic agreement as to how you guys will divide equity/responsibilities in the future, it is too premature for any contracts to get signed now. For all you know, a year from know the product/idea/team could have imploded; not incorporating means you guys would not have any paperwork to deal with (nor wasted money).

First, build a minimum viable product, then launch it, then see what traction you guys are getting, while iterating. If you guys think you have something, then start a company.

2. I am also very concerned because it sounds like you guys also have school to deal with (you seem to have several more years to go), which will make it very difficult for you guys to commit to making your product a success. Postponing college is an option for the 18 year old (taking a few years off), but if the 18 year old takes a leave of absence from college or otherwise postpones college while you still stay in high school, you guys will run into issues where you're contributing less than the other. I honestly think it will be nearly impossible to juggle school and work while also out-competing people who do not have school to worry about. As you can see, there are a whole host of issues you guys need to think through. Or maybe you've skipped a few grades and I don't know it.

3. A guy you met on the internet (and have never/barely worked with, and have barely interacted with, and have never met face-to-face, and otherwise don't really know personally) is not a potential co-founder. What if it turns out that he's really flaky/lazy/abrasive/rude/generally bad? He is an unknown quantity. It also complicates things quite extensively because you guys have probably never had to manage someone (club leadership does not count). You are better off hiring him as a contractor for now (and in the process gauge his skills and his communication skills and also in the process improve your own project management skills).

If you do go ahead with incorporation:

1. Get parents involved (see if your parents know or are friends with any lawyers who are familiar with incorporation or equity issues).

I am not intimately familiar with how equity is dealt with for minors, but I would wildly guess that a parent of the 14 year old would have to sign all legal documents for that 14 year old and also hold board seats/other contractually significant positions. However, a trust or custodial account might be able to be set up for the 14 year old. I am not sure about this.

It's not "being screwed". If they didn't do this, they would have to either physically make different cards which would increase the price of both (or lower margins and reinvestment in r&d) OR keep the same hardware and sell it at only one price point somewhere in the middle (which would be more expensive for the consumer, who typically wants the cheaper gaming card). This is a win-win for pretty much the entire market..

It feels good to stand up for your fellow females and community, even if you get negative public attention for it.

"Studies have shown that identical twins who grow up in separate families have an IQ correlation of 0.74, while adoptive siblings have no more similar IQ than strangers."

First off the bat, such studies are obviously social science, not science.

Secondly - there is this idea that one can boil entire brains down to one number like a CRC or checksum - the IQ number. Then you can rank them in order I suppose. It is obviously a ludicrous endeavor on reflection. It's like the Douglas Adams joke that the answer to life, the universe and everything is 42. When science actually makes progress on the brain, I'm sure biologists of the future will look on IQ like we look on phrenology.

Thirdly, these social science studies of twins mentioned were done by Thomas J. Bouchard, Jr. He's someone who writes op-eds for the Wall Street Journal - I guess Nature and Science are too full and his work crowded into there.

The second edition of the Mismeasure of Man by Stephen Jay Gould is a good book on this topic.

There was a hysterical conservative reaction to Gould's book just as there was a hysterical progressive reaction to the Bell Curve. Which shows this is really a political debate, not a scientific one. This is a political debate going back about 10,000 years, really. I am skeptical of any social scientific study that proposes it has found all the answers.
