It sounds like it's coming from people who waste their days at job interviews, not getting the desired job and then propose a thing like this. I understand it must be tough but in my opinion, you shouldn't be paid for turning up at an interview.

I'm not sure he was to be honest - at least it's difficult to be sure from such a terse response. Also I was speaking purely from a photographic perspective.

But your point is definitely valid. With concerts probably being the worst example of this. It's depressing how many people are just staring into their screen trying to capture the moment, instead of experiencing it.
The markets that are targeted by Asha and Chinese shanzhai white labels don't have phone subsidies, mostly. China doesn't, I assume India doesn't either.
> So there's no way to tell the patient beforehand that their care will cost x amount.

I call B.S. -- unless you're calling B.S. on the data.

There's something called "estimation" which comes in very handy when you don't know something with certainty.

If you have absolutely no idea, then you just guess the average cost for each patient with a similar background, with a disclaimer that it may not be accurate.

Problem solved, unless you don't want to do it because then it'll prevent you from ramping up the prices unnecessarily later.
I can't find any information about it, so I ask here: Will this work world-wide, or just for specific areas? Or will it just cost more having a call routed to an other country?

And what kind of numbers will I get? Getting a US number will probably mean zero calls for me, as I'm not in the US and people will probably not call a foreign number.
All Waze does is encourage people to break the law by handling their phone while driving.
The HFT arms race eventually results in systems/ algorithms/ networking advances that benefit us all.
If by "without careful inspection" you mean "looking at the phone when it's turned off". That device is compromised beyond belief. For example it's got 256MB of memory while running Android 4.0. That amount of memory was appropriate for low-res phones running 1.5. Devices with double the RAM became close to unusable with 4.0.
I've been waiting for this to come out. I'm sure it'll be entertaining in some way :)

On the other hand, I give my vote for the build quality, the design, color and why not, even for the platform. It may held certain tricks that will prove reliable in daily use.

Unlike the author, I still see this phone as a back-up. But I wouldn't say the same for my smaller sister.
This sums up why it is worth paying more for experienced developers who have implemented many systems before and know the pros and cons of many decisions. It especially is true for systems that will have a long lifetime, where bad decisions upfront will cost you dearly in support and maintainance. Here, the 10x developer actually can exist.
GAAP profit was $11 million. Zero emission vehicle (ZEV) credits sold to other automakers amounted to approximately $68 million. In other words, taxpayers gave $68 million to Tesla this quarter. Without this taxpayer gift, which will be drastically reduced going forward, they would have posted a loss of $57 million this quarter. Not fantastic.

Assuming that the FFTs handle independent slices of data (as I can't see why you'd go back to the time domain), the data throughput they're handling is 2048 * 15 bits * 80 Hz = 2.5 Mbps. That may sound like a lot, but it's not unprecedented and it does not require huge power consumption; think of a USB connection hub or perhaps an ethernet hub.

Actually the thermodynamic requirements of that sort of computation are much much less than the practical requirements; at room temperature the minimum power to handle that bandwidth is only 3 × 10^-15 watts; the FFT doesn't need to add to that because the FFT is a reversible computation. We're a long way away from perfection in this sense.

That would've been a pretty interesting law, mainly due the fact that there is no hard proof that connects possible tumours with the use of a cell phone, most of the studies I've seen so far show that there might be a possible connection between the two but nothing is yet confirmed.
> running a real OS that can run real apps.

Don’t underestimate Symbian and the quality of apps available even for niche products. Sure, Android and iOS might get the newest fanciest things in the Valley, but as long as your expectations are not too uncommon, you will find decent apps for nearly every usecase. Add to this that Nokia still has some high-quality apps themselves (Nokia Maps, e.g.) and the fact that Symbian has been around for a long time, and you shouldn’t have too many problems from an app perspective with these phones.

I mean, even the hardly-sold N9 has apps for just about everything (and fifty trillion more things only insane people with too much time on their hands could want).
I guess the discussion starts from "human rights" because there is no established "animal rights" anywhere in the first place. I'm not saying I agree that they should have human rights.

I dont think "rights" is the right word to begin with, but "compassion towards other species" would be a good place to start with, and reflecting about how "moral / ethical" it is to inflict pain willingly on other species.

Because if "pain" and "emotions" are felt pretty much in the same way by animals and humans (for which there is more and more evidence on that as we learn how the brain works), why would it be moral to inflict pain to animals but amoral to inflict pain on human beings ?

This is where Google's Play Music works much better - your music is in the cloud by default, but you can "pin" specific albums to have them stored on the device.

I'm in Australia, and I downloaded it this morning.

What if I put my copy in Dropbox so I can read it on my phone/iPad? What's the legal status of the copy Dropbox have?

Dropbox say they encrypt my data when they store it on Amazon, what's the legal status of the encrypted copy on Amazon, and who'd be held responsible for that if it happens in a different jurisdiction to me and my original copy? What if Dropbox already has a copy and uses de-dupe to not bother storing my copy? What if I try-but-don't-end-up-uploading-thanks-to-dedup my legal-in-Australia copy from my laptop, then download a copy-of-something-I-never-uploaded to my iPad? What if that happened via WiFi sync instead of downloading the files from Dropbox/Amazon? Are the hashes of the files somehow "THE PROPERTY" of the author of the book they identify?

What If I'd dropped the Gatsby .mobi file into my BoxCryptor(EncFS) folder inside my Dropbox folder? Without my key, it's just random data that happens to be called "TheGreatGatsby.mobi". What if I'd saved in in a PGPDisk image stored in Dropbox - then it's just random data without even a questionable filename - it;s mathematically no different to /dev/random, somebody's encrypted pron collection, or wikileaks upcoming nations-state-embarrassing-drop.

What if I travel through the US with encrypted copies of Gatsby but don't decrypt them while I'm there? What if I "delete" any copies from devices I travel to the US with, but my OS leaves all the data on my disk and just removed the filesystem pointers? What if I did a dd bit-for-bit copy of that disk-with-deleted-but-still-recoverable copyright-in-the-US data? What if someone else who never knew the disk contained possibly-recoverable copyright encumbered data bit-for-bit copied the disk?

If the answers to the above depend on some status or location of the passwords or decryption keys, what are the further implications of that - does storing my keys/passwords in Dropbox put them and the encrypted data the protect into some particular jurisdiction? What if I store my 1Password encrypted password file on Dropbox? Does having my head cross the border into the US with the passwords/key inside it make a difference? Does it matter whether I'm carrying a device or memorycard/stick with the encrypted potentially copyrighted data on it, or does have the encryption key in my head to data stored "in the cloud" somehow matter?

Copyright law, at least as it's developed/evolved since Gutenberg, really wasn't written with the capabilities and edgecases of modern technology in mind. Judges are called upon to interpret century-old artistic-expression-as-a-physical-object copyright laws to modern sync and cache enabled technology much of which is considered obsolete withing half a decade - and they don't always have sane/sensible interpretations available to them. They've got an army of oblivious/self-entitled Game Of Thrones torrenting kiddies on one side, and an army of Prenda Law style vexatious litigants on the other.

Light bulb: tax all tradings with a tax percent increasing with the number of transactions per second, in a continuous way (even for less than 1 t/s) that would not make any difference for regular traders (and have a tweakable taxing formula that could regulate a market's stability and sensitivity to information by letting more or less HFT happen by setting the 100% taxation limit - the HFTs will have all incentives to stop trading when they are taxed 100% or beyond - i.e. when they are "fined")!

Only because JFK died and it was a memorial project. If he hadn't died, Johnson (or whoever succeeded JFK in 1968 (or '64, who knows?)) would have gotten the credit, if we'd made it by '69 in the first place - doubtful.

> Do [older developers] leave programming completely, due to burnout or for a career switch, or are they moving up into management positions?

It's not necessarily "up", although it can be - it's a different job. At companies with a strong engineering culture, there is the opportunity to move up while staying in an individual contributor role. I don't think we should use this kind of language, because it implies that careers are a one-track road, and if you don't move into management you're in a dead end. At functional companies this is not true.

http://www.quora.com/Engineering-Ladders

Although, admittedly there seem to be fewer engineers than managers above a certain rank (anecdotal, I have no numbers). I would be interested to hear theories about why this is. Perhaps it is a natural reflection of the same age distribution discussed in this article? I.e., there are fewer older/highly skilled programmers, but not fewer older people skilled in management and leadership.
The problem is practically solved, use Genetic Algorithms and you's find a solution which is sufficient for any practical uses.

90% of NASA's current work having no benefit to the day-to-day life of 90% of Americans.

Not that Americans have ever understood the ROI of space research. Most of them don't know NASA makes their satellite weather a possibility - most of them don't even know that without satellites we wouldn't have even the forecast accuracy we do. Most of them don't know NASA makes their TV possible. All they know is the moon landings, and that was eons ago.

Add that to the fact that Americans have absolutely no idea how their tax dollars are spent, and bam - asking Americans about spending policy is just time wasted.

"Older" programmer here (I'm 46). I disagree. We're not solving the same problem over and over (at least not where I've been working). It's the opposite - once you've solved a problem with code, you can reuse it. Sure, it doesn't work out perfectly, but for the most part, it's new stuff.

I've been programming for > 20 years, and I still love what I'm doing. A big part of that is being able to create new things every day.

We recently covered patents and basic copyright law in a technical writing class. What my professors taught me was that 'patent is a contract between society and inventors to encourage progress'. And it seems fair on certain levels.

I am a huge proponent of FOSS, I respect Stallman, I've read his book and I think patent trolls are dicks. However, is it a good idea to make software not patentable? Will we as a community fail to innovate then?

My Dad died because the Cardiologist didn't think to refer to a Neurologist
My Dad died because the Cardiologist who was treating him didn't know that he was going to have a stroke even though he complained of all the typical pre-stroke symptoms, i.e. severe headache, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, dizziness. The doctor controlled his blood pressure but, saw nothing alarming in EKG, ECG etc.

Could this have been avoided if the Cardiologist and a Neurologist consulted each other. Hell yeah. Can we solve this with software tech? I think so, I am working on a platform (Web + Mobile) for simpler, better communication between different specialists in medicine (unfortunate, sometimes doctors in the same hospital don't talk to each other, let alone outsiders)
