I was just thinking yesterday that this may be a foregone conclusion after thinking about the state of military and intelligence technology (along with some other insights). I doubt this is bullshit. Wish I could have done some investing to take advantage of it somehow.

According to the wikipedia article on RRAM there are several companies working to bring this tech to market. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive_random-access_memory
I am pretty sure NSA's would have better ways to get information about you than to just rely on periodicity of your keystrokes and doing all those analytics based on heuristics.
I feel all that is lost today, there's less candour, less vulnerability and less elegance.

As a literature major, I think you're misrepresenting the 20th century; more specifically, the '50s.

The '50s gave birth to the Beat poets, Kerouac's On the Road, Allen Ginsberg (who wrote poetry that would be considered pretty vulgar even by today's standards, including highly detailed sex orgies), Burroughs' Naked Lunch, etc.

Basically, the '50s (and other points in the 20th century), had a lot of literature which was less elegant and less vulnerable--just as experimental as today's works of arts, just as cynical and dishonest.

EB White was a purist. That doesn't mean he was any better or worse. But he does have a particular style he is partial to.

There is more candid, vulnerable, and elegant literature being written today, just as there was in the late 20th century (late 90s). If you tell me the themes you're interested in, I might be able to recommend some stuff.
Excellent comment. You're clearly following Tesla closely. N.B. Should be "its groove".
Clojure Data Uniformity
Memristor do no computation at all. It follows the same idea as the described RRAM. High density, low cost, persistent, low power consumption, high write/read throughput, low latency. To the exception that it could even replace RAM, not only nand devices. I don't remember of the top of my head reading performance but it was clearly closer to RAM levels.
I've seen this a few days ago, and I've started building a Yeoman generator for it.

Write great content.
Fun fact: all five dentists are employed by the mouthwash company. But five out of five would sound suspicious.
Some of the serious communities (like AskHistorians) have very active and by-the-books moderators who foster really solid content. A reddit/sub-reddit structure with strong editors and encouragement could be useful in the news space.

SSH is not safe if you ssh into a resource (directly or indirectly) controlled by NSA. The protocol as such is secure in the sense that for an 'adversary' with average compute power, it is impossible to 'break' the protocol.
The article presents no evidence that the complaints were due to the alleged implausibility of female engineers. In fact, I'd bet that many of the LinkedIn users who complained did so for feminist reasons—suspicious that the ads were using pictures of pretty women as a cynical ploy to increase clicks. So what we probably have here is a case of Group A's efforts to stamp out misogyny causing Group B to infer misogyny.
T.S.A. officials respond that the random searches are “special needs” or “administrative searches” that are exempt from probable cause because they further the government’s need to prevent terrorist attacks.

This is more than a slippery slope. They're handing out innertubes at the top and telling us to have a nice ride.
I agree with you. His language is magically buoyant.
> How does that work, then? I mean, if I'm managing tens of millions of dollars in someone else's money, I'm going to want some compensation for that.

When somebody invests in your fledgling company, it's typically not a congratulations for getting out of the starting gate. It's money that allows you to grow your business. You could have payroll, marketing, servers, office space, legal fees, etc. and depending on the business, you can burn through millions extremely quickly.

Not to say you can't pay yourself a decent salary, but you're probably not living high on the hog. If you're stashing the money in your personal bank account (and I'm sure some have), that's likely to make people very unhappy.

And, yes, a startup founder might work more than a personal financial advisor. But he also stands to gain much more for his work, if all goes well, down the line.

The website comes off as shady, insinuating that the service is an equivalent or valid alternative to therapy with a professional therapist. The way the 'listeners' are referred to as trained many times (which amounts to an online course, which could mean anything- how rigorous is this course? Are any would-be listeners turned away due to their performance during the course? Does the course last longer than an hour?), and especially the sentence "While many of our Active Listeners happen to be licensed professional counselors and therapists".

It would be more honest to portray the service as an online hotline.
This is a very competitive and huge market. Lot of companies running to obtain the next disruptive tehcnology/product. No one is really ahead of the others for now. So I guess it will be difficult to have any good tech reports without any marketing touch in it :)
That's certainly a valid perspective, but it's not the only one. Why not a market with both?

The numbers are fairly suspicious, they don't reference the density of the flash they are benchmarking or if they are behind controllers.

Flash chips are generally multiplexed and behind a smart controller that compresses and and caches data, which can greatly effect the throughput numbers.

Why Most Startups Shouldn’t Seek Investment
When I first started with rails I went through Michael Hartl tutorial too. I found it great for teaching me the syntax and the workflow. In future projects, I just planned out what features I'd need and then searched http://railscasts.com/ for episodes which did what I wanted. There are over 400 and a great starting point! The only way to really learn programming is by trail and error. The more things you try the better you'll get. The best $9/month you'll spend! I would normally have the episodes open while working on my project, and just pause/play as I went through.

Android and iPhone dev environments exposed as a web endpoint. This would help ease development of opensource applications and improves portability and reuse of components.

We could harness the power of the cloud and free developers from having to worry about hardware performance issues to run the heavy dev environments. If the app has to be debugged on a device, the apk file can be downloaded and injected. The apk can have an default injected script to automatically communicate with the cloud dev set up (sending over logs etc.) to create a really simply environment to work with mobile applications and collaborate efficiently across the world
Memristor does not seem to be normal neither. Is there any on the market?
There's an X in the top right corner.
Sure. As mentioned, I know people that make the salaries I quoted (who have both experience and degrees), and that's not something I plan to argue (because it's a fact). In my opinion they could make more if they really wanted to, but that's orthogonal to this discussion.
People aren't stuck just copying.

At first, it might be copying. But having something workable that you can tweak can give you a good idea of how something works. After enough time tweaking, you can start building new things based on those best practices/examples.

Okay, looking at this again, it's clear that the video/transcript has the good stuff. However:

1. the top banner is too big

2. between it, and the talk of free/premium, and the hype-sounding stuff in the short intro, somehow this pattern-matches to scammy sites for me, and without watching the video I'm expecting it to be minute after minute of buildup with contentless up-selling.

3. Having the transcript in a scrolling box makes it harder to notice that it's actually a representation of what I want, especially when:

4. Leading with the sponsors is really tough. I expect to see sponsors at the end, after I'm appreciative of what the content was. Seeing them at the beginning just annoys me and makes me feel like they're in the way of what I'm trying to do. Since the earlier hooks triggered negative heuristics for me, I didn't power through, and never got to the good stuff.

Hope that's more constructive.
Wasn't this problem already solved by Sharepoint and SVN? If I do a diff from SVN at work, it automatically brings up the compare documents screen in Word.

Microsoft is always going to have an edge over anyone when it comes to Microsoft Office documents, so even if some of this idea becomes successful, I don't see how it stays out of office for long.
I found the "browse a listener" page confusing and hard to filter. One, the multi-column patchwork effect is visually messy and hard to parse. I don't know how to fix it but perhaps a single stack of page-width rectangles?

Second, many of the listeners are "Unavailable" -- there should be a way to filter it to only the available ones. If a client wants to speak to a particular person, it would be helpful to know they were unavailable, but for a general browse, those entries are not helpful. (Just that many more people who don't want to talk to me, <sniff>...)

Third, I couldn't see how the category filters (Addiction, etc) changed much if anything. Is it that most listeners are ready to handle all those topics?

Fourth, the browse feature could benefit from a keyword search to cover those categories you haven't thought of as filters -- e.g. I'd like to know how many, if any, listeners call themselves "atheist" or "liberal".

"Another possible application of memristors is logic circuits. Memristors can be used in hybrid CMOS-memristor circuits, or as a standalone logic gate. One notable logic application is using memristors in an FPGA, as configurable switches, connecting the CMOS logic gates."

Besides, the grungy midtown location, perfect for startups, was starting to get us down after five years. We had a little bit more money, so we were looking for a place with about twice the space that cost about four times as much.

Our ideal of giving every developer a private office is unusual, so it’s almost impossible to find prebuilt office space set up that way. That means we didn’t have much choice but to find the best raw space and then do our own interior construction.

Here are a few of the features of the new office:
- Gobs of well-lit perimeter offices.
- Coffee bar and lunchroom.
- A huge salt water aquarium
- Plenty of meeting space.

>>>These children of the boom 90s also aren’t so into conspicuous consumption.

Except that. .

>>>Also, there’s a bit of a focus on cars, but in a smart way. Merrill Lynch’s Hogan says, “I had a client come in and say that he bought a Tesla car – but he had also bought shares in the company. And he told us that he made enough profit on the shares to cover the cost of the car.”

So if I buy a 100K car and invest in the company, then that's smart? Otherwise, it's considered "conspicuous"?? If you drop 100K on a car, it doesn't matter how you bought it, it's still a 100K purchase on a car.
Isn't the whole point of "responsive web design" to provide a good experience across a wide range of browsers and devices, without the user having to do anything special?

Having to switch browsers (from a very modern version of a very capable and very widely used browser, no less!) and having to manually resize the browser window merely to view the site is not what I'd consider a good experience in any way.

The "native cryptography support" error that some of us are getting with quite modern browsers isn't very encouraging, either.

These techniques are forcing the user to be responsive to the website's deficiencies, rather than the website being properly responsive to the capabilities of the user's browser and device. This is "responsiveness" in all the wrong ways.

"I prefer not to answer" or "I'd rather not say" are both quite polite. If the questions persist, you can always say you'd prefer to answer questions in the presence of your attorney, which you should do anyway.
The police "smelled pot". That's probable cause. It's possible that one of them had previously smoked some in the car, maybe some time ago (let's be honest - anyone who has a pipe in their car has probably used it, but that's not the kind of thing which will stand up in a court of law without also finding a stash).

But seizing a car because it's got a pipe in it is insane. Even if they had a small quantity of pot, that's crazy - a small stash for personal use doesn't make someone a dealer.
yeah, i don't think simulating each atom will work either. I'm not sure physics-based constraints at all is correct, and that maybe we need to try to generate heuristic constraints and then try to justify those heuristics using physics later.

A memristor can do computation, but you don't have to do computation.

Like like a regular transistor can be used for computation or ram.
Congrats on the launch guys- looks like a solid product! Can you discuss the tech stack you used for those of is that are curious?
I understand your perspective. We are not trying to portray listeners as licensed mental health professionals. We use the word trained to suggest that active listening is different from the normal kind of listening that most of us experience in our regular lives. ie, active listening is different from having a normal conversation. People normally don't use summarizing, paraphrasing and empathy regularly. Also, pointing to the licensed people on the site is not meant to equate active listeners with mental health professionals, but to simply highlight that there are a good number of licensed mental health professionals on the site.
My first experience with proper olive oil was ordering some from http://www.amphoranueva.com/ after one of their coratina oils was suggested by someone on some forum who'd done chemical assaying on a number of oils looking for polyphenol content, as relevant to some moderately supported study results on positive health outcomes.

I couldn't have been happier with the result... and even if you use a fair amount of oil it still takes a while to go through 750ml of the stuff, so that fact that it's $18/bottle doesn't break the bank. (and it keeps well if kept isolated from air and light) Er, well, I mean used properly: raw in food, not for cooking. You shouldn't heat good evo as its smoke point is lower than random supermarket mystery olive oil, and heating it removes most of the flavor anyways.

Opinions may differ though, I could certainly see some people really disliking the grassy acidic flavor of strong EVO.
Lots of other stuff to know -- what's the BER (bit error rate), what's the programming model (page erase, like flash)? How many simultaneous reads can you push through? Writes? Can you halt an ongoing operation or change it mid-stream?
While I admire the work of Avi and the guys at the Flatiron School greatly, I disagree with some of their basic principles. In particular, they perpetuate this myth that only some people are cut out to be developers by working very hard to qualify people in advance of accepting them. This makes them a lot like an intensive computer science program. By making sure you only have people who are likely to be able to sit for months learning the very basics of syntax before ever moving on to the applicable stuff, you're alienating so many people who could potentially be building something very valuable just because they didn't happen to have an intrinsic interest in something like where a comma goes (not that that's not important, there's just no reason we have to teach it FIRST instead of second, or third, etc.).

I'm making a bet here (and all startups are bets after all) that there are some people who can become good developers but learn differently from everyone else. Let's please at least try to diversify the way we teach things, at least in the interest of testing a hypothesis, instead of just accepting the standard dogma?

So the idea is this: get people genuinely interested in code by showing them what it can do. Isn't that how great teachers teach at the end of the day? Inspire in them a yearning to learn more.

Plus I think it's a real shame that people learning coding totally out of context from its application. People finish Codecademy not understanding how the hell anything they learned actually fits into a web application.

My goal is to give people a broad understanding of the various parts of a web application: the view, the model, the controller, routing, deployment, version control, gems, StackOverflow, etc. How many other online resources are there than cover all that for beginners in one place? Not many.
Your last statement is really what all the fuss is about, though -- the government is trying to contravene how most sane people would interpret the Constitution, and legalize such activities.
They probably mean TB for the whole device, and each chip is smaller. This could also be a picture of an earlier model.

That's one reason why this one is lasting so long: nobody is being burned in public, everyone can smile and carry on.
Moreover, while White's style of writing is simple and straightforward, it is not representative of how people talked then (or talk today). That's part of the magic -- his words are so carefully crafted that we mistake elegance for simplicity and structure for straightforwardness. There is none of the common unevenness of natural speech to trip up our reading ears; the words flow so easily into our minds that it feels like we're talking to ourselves.

White was also the co-author of a famous prescriptive book on writing and grammar [1]. He knew what he was doing :)
