This is truly strange considering what has happened on mobile appstores that believe in a free market. They have benefitted heavily from it. Lots of new great companies like Halfbrick, Firemint and Rovio might not have happened.

At the most basic level they will lose lots of hardware sales as the app/game development that surrounds mobile appstores sells lots and lots of hardware.

Ah, good catch! I did miss that note about the $17.1 million. Also, the $11.3M is partly from other stuff - selling drivetrains for the RAV4 EV, selling apparel, etc - not just selling cars. However, it would seem my main point still stands: it's not accurate to say Tesla wouldn't be profitable without the ability to sell energy credits.

I don't mean to imply I have the perfect system (though it obviously doesn't contain any errors I'm aware of), but rather that advocating a free market does not imply what he says it implies. Advocating a free market does not imply endorsing bribery and fraud. That was the extent of my point there.
The problem is that he's spruiking it as two-factor authentication, but the patent itself talks about authorisation.

In the body of the patent itself, authentication is mentioned in passing only:

* That there's an authentication server which knows a password;

* That mobile phones are one channel mentioned in the patent and DES is used in the mobile phone system (at the time) for, among other things, authentication.

* That an authentication server could blacklist a lost identity card.

And that's it.

He's grandstanding.

Actually after GitHub's move, I see many GitHub projects just provided their download link at Google Code. Basically they created a Google Code project just for the download section, even not bother to push the code there.
You're right. The FBI did have a warrant to monitor her email accounts [ǣ] (it's too late to edit my previous comment).
The troubling thing about the Broadwell story was the FBI's preferential treatment of Kelley because she knew members of the agency. It shows how easy it is to get the FBI to investigate your enemies if you have connections; otherwise it is difficult to get the FBI to care about your case, especially if no one was physically hurt and no monetary damage was caused.

Not terribly surprising. I've seen HUD loans up close, and if DOE loans are anything like HUD loans, they are a nightmare. Audits, escrows, and complexity 'til the cows come home.

Thanks for digging that up though, I was wondering why they refinanced it, as I assume the interest rate was pretty good.

Seriously, RTFD.

The document outlines in unambiguous terms the extent to which HSBC (the parent HSBC) consistently, knowingly, and over an extended period of time, manipulated transactions and associated processes, at times over the objections of their own US subsidiaries, to conduct business, in America, in US Dollars, that was in violation of AML laws and regulations.

I'm not sure what else there's left to say about this at this point.
Wow!

1. No, you should not give up.

2. You need to find a "coach". This could come in the form of a mentor, a life coach, a therapist. A third-party who can help you refine your goals and work out a plan of milestones to get from here to there. (Refining goals is important...you have a lot of big goals.)

3. I feel trapped a lot too...and agree that everything seems like a long haul or impossibility. What I've learned about myself is that I learn by doing, and that the key is just doing things. What I mean by that is that I just try stuff and as I'm doing it I figure out if it's what I want to be doing. That's earned me a little bit of a bad rap as a person who starts things and doesn't finish them. But, the alternative is worse: a person who sits thinking about how things are too impossible and never does anything.

4. I don't mean to dampen your ambition, but part of the problem is that you're too damn ambitious. I have a little saying: to build a big business, you have to build a small business first. In other words, if you have big dreams...and you do...you're not gonna go from 0 to 60 overnight. Rome wasn't built in a day. Start with a small ambition, achieve it, then build on that success and make it bigger.

5. And, don't give up...you're only 31 and you're already on third base.
It sounds like your problem is thinking too big picture, and, knowing how grandiose your plan is, you're immediately seized with worry and fear for scenarios and problems that don't yet exist...

So, think small. If that just seems too bourgeois for you, re-read what you just posted. You've already admitted the problems in your thinking and that you see how it'll be a dead end in 10 years...so think small as if your future depended on it.

By thinking small, i mean, tackle problems that have immediate deliverables. Facebook was reportedly started as a way to better scope out attractive classmates, i.e. get laid. I doubt its founders were focused on connecting the entire world.
Here we have a piece of technology achieving nothing short of miracles, saving people's lives.

I actually was faced with the same problem a little while ago. I started making my own Greek yoghurt once a week at home. So I started having to throw out these big amounts of whey. That felt very wasteful, so I started to do some research into what I could do with the whey. It turns out to be a great substitute in many recipes that call for buttermilk (pancakes, mashed potatoes). It also is great in smoothies. Apparently you can even make ricotta cheese from it. Last weekend I actually still had enough yoghurt, but made yoghurt because I was out of whey! It's great stuff and I haven't even been able yet to make any ricotta, since I don't have enough left after all the other now mandatory use cases.
I am really surprised that the whey is so acidic. Mine at least doesn't taste that sour. I would like some explanation for that. However, cultures used by these big corporations also aren't real, sustainable greek yoghurt cultures. You can use the culture from commercial yoghurt as a starter for your own yoghurt and go from there. However, the culture will die eventually, since they are bred for maximum consistent result in a laboratory like environment. I wonder if that has to do with it.

The topic of fermentation is super interesting. I can throng lay recommend to everyone o read Sandor Katz's "Art of Fermentation". It's a great work about the history, culture and basic workings of fermentation.

I have about 1 million that is not in tax advantaged accounts. Right now, I average ~ 75-80k per year with my investments that gets re-invested into my accounts. (this is just public market investing)

I have looked into angel investing, and I am an accredited investor, but most people want a minimum of 10k. So at my level of wealth, it would be a stretch for me to even make 10 investments, and chances are very great that 9 out of 10 will fail, and the one that doesn't, maybe I make a 30% return on or something. I don't know whether I am being too negative, or if I really don't understand it. I would love to be an angel investor, but at this level of wealth, I really don't know if it's feasible at all.
I thought the Haswell CPU was more about reducing power usage then adding performance? I'd be curious to know how much effort was spent on the power consumption vs performance.

| DOM manipulation may be absurdly slow however
| it cannot hold a candle to latency hold-ups.

Just an anecdote, but jQueryUI + IE8 took 8 seconds to style all of the buttons[1] we had on a page during one call. Granted, we had a ton of buttons (most were hidden), but that's a lot of time. The same call on Firefox and Chrome were fractions of a second (can't remember the exact numbers, but Chrome was faster at the time), and this was a couple of years ago. DOM manipulation can be a real drag.

About bitlocker, I agree with you that there likely isn't a backdoor built into the service beyond breaking crypto (likely still hard, though crypto export laws still apply and influence overall strength). What I would point out is that the data recovery 'backdoor' (where private keys get stored in central servers, either in AD or your Microsoft Account) is turned on by default. It's most likely for user convenience, but I imagine those that want ediscovery would be happy.

I guess I need to keep in mind that even if I fall directly on my face and fail, even if by preventable measure, I still won't be any worse off than if I continued to work in a meaningless job that I don't enjoy even if it pays me 400k per year or more. I think my biggest problem is I have nobody. I'm not the CEO bullshitter be friends with everyone type guy, I'm probably a bit too judgmental and critical, and I'm sure it's hurt me from a networking standpoint.

I really wish I could find a good mentor or accountability partner to just help get started in the right direction.

The thing a lot of people don't get about 3d printing right now is that it is still in its infancy. We are basically at the point where cell phones were the size of bricks. Give it a decade or two and we might look at 3d printers and their current price / resolution as laughable.

Sure, but one of the major drawbacks of identity providers is that the vast majority of websites will never integrate with them, period. We need a solution for those websites, too, and what I'm proposing is one attempt at finding such a solution without telling every website owner to rewrite code.

Since starting at Google I've managed to lose a good amount of weight due to increased availability of healthy(ish) snacks (free bananas and mandarins in the MK!) and the buffet style lunches.

<rambling>

How do the buffet style lunches help? Glad you asked.

When I have a plate of food in front of me, I eat everything that's on the plate. I may set out to do otherwise, and I'll even manage to avoid it in my first pass, but in the ensuing conversation over lunch I'll gradually nibble at the remains until everything is gone. However, if I simply take less food, there's nothing to nibble.

Now, I was also making an active effort to lose weight before this, and it requires a conscious choice to eat the healthier options made available to us (as there are plenty of unhealthy options). Compared to my previous gig, though, I've found it much easier to make good choices, diet wise, at Google.

</rambling>
You made a million by 30. Sounds like there are a lot of people that would like your input.
Remember it's technology - it'll get used for anything of value. Heck, the awesome bit is that eventually it'll be used for _everything_ applicable! Think of it like the Internet: today all you have to do is ask a question and someone somewhere probably has asked it and been answered. Also porn. And cat GIFs. And hundreds of apple pie recipes. And everything else. _And the medium's not even saturated yet_!

Just imagine when _stuff_ is like that. Expect some nasty things, but also expect cheap, easily reproducible miracles. I'd take that trade.
Three such languages are called AMD64, IA32 and ARM machine code, and are supported by Google Native Client (NaCl). I think they will be exceedingly hard to beat when it comes to speed and loading time.
I think it's becoming clear that there is room for two classes of web language: one for general use (JavaScript) and one for high performance applications or games. Let's get a real language alternative, free of half measures or compromises.

The DOM is faster than almost everyone believes. It's not 2001 anymore, guys.

Web components solve a lot of major problems, but it has little to do with DOM/CSS performance and more to do with encapsulation (ie, so your CSS/HTML/JS don't break a component). DocumentFragments and insertAdjacentHTML solved more performance problems for the DOM than most other API changes have, and smarter compositing/painting algorithms in browsers (along with hardware acceleration) have made it possible to do some pretty ridiculous stuff.

The implication is that the tactics used against Kim Dotcom were done so at the behest of Hollywood pressuring the US government to 'do something,' who then in turn leaned on the NZ government to 'do something.' That's the Hollywood part of the comment.

Yeah well, the same thing was said about the Xbox360 when it came out, yet it didn't outperform the PC of that time very much even though it was "highly tuned" as well.

Google Glass running on regular Android device
> multithreading and SIMD capability disabled

[EDIT: it looks like I may have misinterpreted the article; see replies]

To clarify, I believe they ran the benchmarks with SSE disabled. SSE is more than just SIMD; these days SSE is used for most (all?) floating-point calculations, even non-SIMD. If you disable SSE, you force floating-point ops to use the old x87 FPU, which has been discouraged by the CPU manufacturers for over 10 years.

In other words, disabling SSE is significantly crippling all floating-point performance.

You're right, a metal one would last longer, and made of something like titanium it wouldn't even rust.

But for a small child developing, the goal is to brace it long enough for the child's body to grow out of it, and then it's reabsorbed. That way the body can use it as supportive scaffolding, but eventually heals away. Which isn't as snazzy as a cyborg kid, but pretty cool that after a few years the child is running on their own support!
