Physicists To Test If Universe Is A Computer Simulation
Right now the Bay Area has a very high demand for good software developers which means the pay and perks are better there than most places. Cost of living is very high, but you will make enough to easily pay rent. However if you are wanting a house, then you have to be a millionaire, live in a shack-sized house, or live in a decent house with a long commute. Bay Area is also very crowded like most big cities.

There is also Seattle, Denver/Boulder, Austin.

I personally moved to Boulder from Bay Area because I wanted a lower cost of living, sunshine all (or most) of the time, less crowds, be next to mountains, and drive 20 minutes to be in the outdoors instead of 2+ hours. My definition of outdoors is being in the middle of nowhere with few people around.
Intel is among the best at staying paranoid and investing into R&D. It makes how they've been pinched by the rapid shift to smart phones + tablets all the more amazing. A textbook example of how the best of companies can be caught with their pants down.

They've always managed to respond impressively in the past to challenging circumstances. Can they do it again? Their future depends on it.

Well then, let them stop pretending that they're looking out for our safety when they put up a speed trap. If you want to talk about having more reasonable road markings, speed limits, and fines for speeding that's great. It's a conversation that we need to have. But to have a bunch of guys driving around like jerks, on and off duty, extracting a tax from the working stiffs is an insult, and nobody should be surprised that the cops get little sympathy.

> Unless you wanna have robots do it instead

Not really. It's been shown time and again that greedy authorities will compromise on public safety to optimize profit. And, machines tend to have no discretion. Nor is any applied by the authorities. If you show up to an intersection at two am, with nobody in sight, stop, look and proceed safely through a red light, you get the same citation that some jerk gets who blows through on a busy day.

Have you been getting in the habit of using kilometers, perhaps? 125mph is absurdly fast.
Or use a helper class (called Design.m/.h) with a call:

+(void)styleLabelForCertainPage:(UILabel *)label {
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
label.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
}

Then run those through your loops. If you're seriously considering writing a lot of lines for something trivial, then you're probably doing it wrong in Objective-C.
Off the top of my mind (sorry, I don't have the time to double check now):

Phi has shared GDDR and distributed caches. Phi cores and caches are connected through a bidirectional ring interconnect, not a 2D mesh network. Still similar, but not as much.
Not to take away anything from Parallela, but you can also get to play around with something that's used in today's supercomputers by buying any Geforce 5xx and start programming in CUDA.

A fully documented ARM architecture as an accelerator chip is certainly interesting though. It will take time until the software tooling catches up, but the initial buzz in the HPC community about those ARM newcomers is certainly there. I'd give them a good chance in the long run to outrun Intel MICs and catch up to NVIDIA Tesla.

What I'd like to see next is a PCI express expansion card using this technology. See, one of the great benefits about Tesla cards is that you can swap them out in your supercomputers just like you do it with RAM - and you get the newest chip architecture, as long as your PCI bus can handle the load. For multi purpose systems you often still like to have a good number of x86 cores in there however.

You could've just said, "Hitler was not left, despite being in a nationalist socialist party he focused mainly on national goals and left the capitalists for what they were." My german is not so good, so I read the wikipedia article on the history of the socialist part of the nsdap and it seems you are right, there was not much of a leftist in him.

The original question was 'what is the rule for ordering adjectives [in English.]' The first thing you said was: How about this rule? Order the modifiers to maximize the product of their successive restrictive effects.

I'm saying that your observation people copy what they know is tautological, and tells us nothing whatever about the restrictive effects of a given adjective.
It wasn't really that though. They saw it coming, but the margins were so low in this new field that they had to decide: stay in their high-margin but slowly dying business or turn ship to compete with the inevitable but not very profitable new order that was coming online.

It is quite easy to think that these big companies are not getting it, but they really do. Intel was and is basically in a no win situation: they could become like ARM and TSMC combined, but that wouldn't justify their valuation at all. Their only hope was to come out with a new breakthrough high-margin product, which might not simply exist right now (i.e. no big leaps to be had for the next 5-10 years).

Not always. It is technically not even allowed unless they are actively responding to a call, I believe. (There's a lot of police work that involves being in a marked car without being on your way to stop a robbery in progress).
They didn't just reach speeds of 130mph, but average speeds of 130mph over a distance of several miles. Their maximum speed was probably closer to 150-180.

The Best Startup Advice I've Ever Gotten
The flight is considered "departed" from a time-tracking perspective when the boarding doors are closed. If your flight is scheduled at 2pm and they close the doors at 2pm, even if it takes you until 8pm to get in the air, your flight "left on time".

This is a perfect example of "be careful what you measure". Customers don't care when they leave, they care when they arrive, but, since the FAA measures[1] on-time departures, that is what has been optimized for, to the detriment of customers.

1. I would be willing to bet the FAA measures this at the request of the airlines. Measuring arrival time has many variables they can't control, whereas departure, as defined, is mostly controlled by the airlines.
It's still impressive, though as you say, much less impressive than it seems at first glance.

Doing anything useful in QBasic was such a major pain; from what I recall, to use the mouse(which wasn't supported), you needed to write an assembly procedure byte by byte, do a CALL ABSOLUTE to jump into that procedure and re-read the cursor position from memory.
We used C++ to write a game and _SOMEHOW_ without knowing properly about how GC worked - learned to write our own garbage collectors for projectiles that went out of screen and enemies that died.
:) It was basically the eye opener for how GC's worked. Though I am sure it's faaaaaar more complicated than the Sets we used to keep track. It still made me better at manually handling memory.

That being said, I prefer GC and/or Automatic Reference Counting at compile time. Still though, it was a nice "feeling" to manage your own memory in an (incredibly small) project.
What's interesting is that as a power user I still cannot buy a good ultrabook. I have a Samsung New Series 9 13" , that besides having major quality problems (dead pixels, clicking fan noises), lacks several essential features that I think many people would like to have:

-Retina display (at least like on iPad 3, 2048 x 1536 )

-Default fan-less thermal profile (i.e. no moving parts- it has fanless thermal profile, but it "forgets" it every time it's turned on)

I'm just hoping to give a few people some perpective on such rejections:

- Damien Katz (creator of CouchDB) was also rejected[1]. He went on and got $2 million from Redpoint Ventures [2]

- On this video[3], Jessica Livingston interviews Drew. It shows that he was also rejected the first time he tried out YC.

- The oscar of rejected but finally accepted: I got into YC after applying six times [4]

- Peteris Krumins also got rejected with his browserling idea, got rejected[5], and went on to raise his own seed funding[6].

This is still fairly trivial stuff, and I like the IDE a ton better in Xcode than Visual Studio (seriously, I shouldn't have to stop my current build just to add lines in VS - that's lame). Just open up your dual screen editor, put the xib on the left or right, then your header on the other side. Right-click down on an element (hold it!) then drag over to the header. It'll set everything up you need to add your event actions in the header and implementation files, as well as the getter/setter methods.
Foxconn Reportedly Ramps Up Hiring For Next iPhone Launch This Summer
Exactly right. ARMs lure isn't really the current performance for supercomputing, it's rather the expectation that they will hit the next big performance wall much later than x86 because of its simple architecture that's suitable for the maximum amount of cores per die space. Give it 2-3 years and we might have the big step in supercomputing architecture at hand.

Huh! So we're at 3 deaths/maims per year for X number of cops, vs. 12 deaths per 100k for the general populace.

It's all about the division at this point. How many cops were there in that region? If it's just Miami-Dade: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami-Dade_Police_Department
Officers	3,034

soooo.... 3 * (100/3) = 100 deaths per 100k of police population.

Which is 8x the normal rate. It's bad, but it's not too outrageous.
Arm exists because they went after a market Intel didn't care about. Intel was slow to react to the shift in market, but they have reacted and they are focused now. It is only a matter of time before Intel dominates the market. Their latest Atom processors are already better than Arms. They may not get the same cut from mobile processors, but they will have larger volume and there is an emerging market in the hybrid tablet space. The Surface Pro is considered a tablet but it still has an i5 in it. If Microsoft didn't screw it up so much it could have been a huge success.

If any company can touch Intel fabrication process, then maybe I will start to be worried about my Intel stock.

I didn't say that he should not be punished, I said that he shouldn't be fired. If we fired everyone for every mistake in judgement, nobody would be doing any work.
Nothing makes me more upset than corrupt cops. Obviously the off-duty cops got away with speeding because cops don't give tickets to other cops. That's the real scandal. Corrupt cops undermine the entire legal system, which is much worse than anything any terrorist could ever hope to achieve. They should be treated accordingly!
Maybe you are too far along for y combinator. Good luck.
That was a joke; he was writing as if he were an outside VC who wanted to get in on YC's next Dropbox, having missed the first one. (Coincidentally PG has said he didn't "get" AirBnB initially, but I don't think they got rejected; I'm not sure if the first Drew application which was rejected was for Dropbox or something else. I've never seen anything public about Heroku's application to YC)
I for one wish companies would give more details to job applicants. I've heard that some companies don't give you any details for fear of (discrimination?!) lawsuits or, as a recruiter once told me, simply paranoia. If someone knows other reasons for this besides not keeping records of the interviews, I'd like to know more.

What's even stranger/funnier is that some companies reject you without giving any specific reasons, yet they invite you to reapply for another position or the same later.
Can someone explain to me why bruteforce is important if you can not access the password hashes ?
And they don't explicitly warn their users in the App about how critical a strong master password is.

When I asked them to allow me to use a key along with my passphrase they said it would confuse their users, and then acknowledge their users aren't going to pick good passwords and would be at risk:

http://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/comment/25737/#C...

> A master password constructed with diceware of three or four words should be both strong and memorable, but I have to acknowledge that most users aren't going to use diceware to construct a master password. So I suppose that your point stands.

>Lid can be detached from the keyboard and used as a touchscreen tablet

You should check out the computers known as "convertibles". There's some listed here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ultrabook/shop-ultrab...

Of course, Intel is in the position that it can't compete with the people that makes its products--choosing to be horizontal rather than vertical in the PC market. So those quality and options are really on the OEMs, and Intel can only provide so much of a carrot and/or stick.
>Right, so a buyer who is unaware of the way that negative feedback can impact a low-volume seller is doing nothing wrong.

Correct.

>I think you're being a tad over-zealous with your talk of "ruining someone".

Hardly. Remember, eBay feedback is calculated over 12 months.

If you have a chain of good sales, don't sell for a while, sell again, and something happens that causes the buyer to leave a neg, you are in deep shit with eBay.

Your listing fees will be higher, your number of listings will be restricted, you have funds availability holds from PayPal.. it's a real mess. Lesser things can and have put people out of business.

If you are primarily an eBay seller this can completely ruin your business.

Now, obviously this is the absolute worst case scenario, but the point is the amount of negative feedback you need to start getting really nasty restrictions put on you is miniscule. Anything that drops you below 98 or 95% positive (haven't been a seller for long enough that I honestly forget the exact number) is enough.

Going back to the subject of the TFA, (and we're venturing deep into conjecture territory here, but bear with me) what if they ended up with a faulty scale that weighed everything a pound less than it should be, and as a result a cluster of buyers ended up with packages postage due?

If it weren't for eBay this would be no problem. You make it right with your customers, refund them, maybe give them a future discount for their trouble, hopefully most of them are happy and you continue on your merry way.

Instead, the buyers are encouraged to vent on the feedback system, which is tied directly into how the platform treats you. Even if you make it right, there's nothing stopping a buyer from trashing on you, and your recourse is precisely jack and shit.

There are three very important things to remember here:

1. eBay is enough of a jerk to sellers that you should really think twice before submitting bad feedback, especially if they fixed their screwup. This is what neutral is for. The seller got you your item but did so in such a way that you don't want to increase their reputation.

2. Enough bad feedback (and "enough" is a very, very small number) most definitely can ruin an eBay seller's business.

3. eBay is a terrible company ripe for replacement.

Preach it. I can't find a decent Ultrabook. It's amazing that there are so many that dont even have at minimum a 1080p screen. That really should have been part of the Ultrabook specs.

What is really astounding is how completely clueless OEMs are. Intel, a chip manufacturer, not only had to go to each OEM and convince them to make some competition for Apple, but they had to help them design the laptops too. What the hell do engineers at Dell, HP, and even Lenovo do all day? They are the ones who should be coming up with laptops and telling Intel what they want.
Thanks! Made a note to shoot you an email when it's out.
Please do a write up on how you use TDD with ObjC/VCs. I'm sure that others would be interested as well.
It seems very similar to Scala in several ways (var, def etc), but the way to declare immutable fields is different from Scala

Scala

val x:Int = 10 // Immutable
var x:Int = 10 // Mutable
def x:Int = 10 // function

Virgil

def x:Int = 10 // Immutable + function
var x:Int = 10 // Mutable

I think I prefer Virgils method, it feels much purer to me, in keeping with functions as first class members, but I'm not sure how it would handle mutable datastructures.
From the languages.. I've worked with lots of quants and they all rave about R!

Yeah..the aggregator is where you get done in both cost and latency. The prop shops and hedge funds pay through the nose for that stuff so unless you come packing a little capital, true HFT is an issue.

On the middleware, not really.. so you would have a market data component that will be pushing stuff to various components (real time risk, the pricer, and the trading engine). The disruptor sits on the 'in' queue to those components.. the middleware is what pushes messages between instances running on the same/different machines.

Hope that helps :)
Bitcoin is too geeky for them, and probably worse than cash because they'd need to get their money back through an exchange like MtGox. With exchanges being required to register as MSB's/MTA's, the government might be getting records of all cash people withdraw. Even if the government doesn't get the data, the money has to come out through a bank.

I guess they could do prepaid CC's, but still the prostitute would have to be pretty geeky to want to deal with the hassles involved. Do those prepaid CC's work for everything? I tried to use one to make online purchases once and it wouldn't work.

Your right. I learned crypto for an internship at a cryptography lab, so having the reference of the primitives that mere mortals should never touch, as well as a reference to many ideas that both worked and failed was extremely useful. Of course, if you want to learn crypto to use it well in your own (non-crypto) code, than those are probably exactly the qualities you do not want in your reference book.

You mentioned in your original post that pure visual programming languages have issues, and having a ton of experience with one (Simulink), I wouldn't disagree - especially as the 'codebase' size increases.
