Short answer, no. I don't have access to the actual reports since they are reserved for paying customers, but prominently Deutsche Bank ($200), Northland Capital Markets ($230) and Global Equities ($225) all have price targets considerably higher than the current market price. All of these companies stake their reputation on being right, as most professional analysts do.

If you have access to analyst reports, the one from Deutsche Bank is probably the one to look at. The best source I can find is this video from August before the recent PT upgrade, but there was an interview somewhere where Dan Galves goes into more detail about the DCF model they are using.

Atlas shrugged... and the leaches attacked. I find it hard to believe Swit doesn't already have some welfare system that provides for those who actually need it... but now, 30k a year just for breathing? Sounds like communism to me.... only you don't have to produce anything. Utopianism like this doesn't last. Eventually you run out of payers. it's human nature to eventually grow tired of working hard so someone else doesn't have to. When that time comes, you either join the leaches or you leave the environment. Eventually, you always end up with a negative balance. It is doomed to failure.. Eventually.
"content producers -- are tied up in an existing business model that's hard to wean off of."

Why do you think they're unionized? Very, very few of these workers are in a union.
Yeah. As a brown person holding an Indian passport UAE is as unfriendly as it gets - starting from inequality in pay to enforcement of law to freedom of speech. (well, the last one is for everyone).
that one uses window.addEventListner which gives an advantage to libraries that prefer that to ones that use that one first over ones that use messageChannel first. here is a fixes one[1], looks like everything using mutation observer is about the same throughput.

My background is that I've been trying to create a promise library that just creates without also being underscore for promises [1]

What sort of performance are we talking about that we are able to test without really measuring other things. For instance when was able to dominate many of the perfs by actually doing many of them synchronously in cases where other libraries would force it async.

Hmm. I think much of Microsoft's success has more to do with the fact that Apple's emphasis on simplicity in design, ease of use, and computer-as-a-lifestyle-product has only recently started paying off, as computers have become more mainstream and provide 'lifestyle value'.

I remember growing up a really shoddy looking computer in the house, but nobody cared or wanted better because it was in my dad's office and mostly used for work (and only occasionally for a game or two).
I'm dealing with that right now. Completely negating someone's opinion only shuts down communication. It's all in the phrasing and makes it sound like you are on different teams, especially in a work environment.
Much like Microsoft and Sony.
But the workers that don't move will still have a basic income. Without the 'need' to immediately get new employment, those workers can take the time to train for, or create from scratch, a more fulfilling job at a company that won't pack up and relocate when social welfare is given priority over greed.
It has Google integration to the point of being obnoxious.
Virtualization is a bit of a flawed solution - I have had issues trying to virtualize Ubuntu on my Windows 8 desktop (my gaming machine) that would drive me nuts, and would be far worse for students just entering web development.

It is still too fragile IMO.
No. The shutdown is about a minority faction of the GOP trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act which is already funded. It has nothing to do with spending.
I'd argue that "friendliest" is actually the most dubious use of data: the data comes from an "executive opinion survey" that asks local businessmen how welcome they feel foreigners are in their country. Actual tourists experiences may beg to differ. For the authors' stated purpose of "finding people to go party with" and "immersing themselves in the local culture", the UAE is not making the top 15 countries on most people's world rankings. If you speak (or are willing to learn) Spanish you'd be better off in Bolivia...
As always, you are welcome to take up a very big CHF loan and put your money where your mouth is ;) I expect you have a 50% chance of making money.

The actual explanation is a lot simpler; McDonalds employees are more expensive in Switzerland than in the US. You can see the same effect where I live, in Norway.
Oh right, then yeah Makefiles are the way to go :)

I'm not sure I'd call those things Rube Goldberg, it's just about depending on small libraries and having a reproducible build if it gets checked out on a CI machine and run.

As always, all about choosing the right tool for the job. If you can solve it cleanly with something simpler then you probably should. Something like Maven should only be used if you're really sure you actually need it, because otherwise it'll be a pain in the arse.

Having said that, splitting up "building" and "dependency management" can make things much simpler. Pip (python dependency manager) is incredibly simple, with the same kind of interface as apt, and if you've got a file with a list of dependencies you just tell it to install all of those. Then you can use whatever you want for the build process itself.
why the hell aren't you shortening the URLs?
They are not high speced - they have 3 tiers - i7 titan, i5 760 (mid), i3 - 660 (low)

> Maybe it's biggest mistake was that dependencies are global by default, and not local (like Node's NPM). If the dependency structure would have been local to a project, than many of the pain points I encountered with MVN in the past wouldn't have even existed.

I don't understand the local vs global dependency thing. What does NPM do differently from Maven?
possibly the last remaining googlewhack ? :-)
If you're a women who needs to factor in the risk of your husband beating you as soon as it is legal to do so, you should probably be shopping for divorce lawyers rather than holiday destinations.
looks like each drawn pixel is being recorded in the URL, which means considering all the combinations + permutations of colors and pixels, you can draw (theoretically) the art just by modifying the URL! :) So maybe you can create a randomizer that creates a picture.... :)
Minihack works well, although the hit areas get a little wonky sometimes.
If steamos is what I think it is - ubuntu distro I could use it as a main pc.

I'm a sw engineer programming Java since 1996. I started using Maven when it first came out as the declarative build language hooked me, and became the local Maven expert. I've watched it grow with pride, and sometimes in anger. I still believe a declarative build language is best, but it won't be in XML. I suspect it will eventually be in something like OWL, whatever comes along after OWL that fixes its issues.

So as of a few years ago I too moved on to Gradle and have loved it.

But...

Language based build systems offer more expressiveness, but that is also more rope to hang yourself with if you get someone that doesn't know Gradle well doing tinkering with your build. For example we had someone add a custom checkstyle report to an Android project using Gradle. After their edits it stopped working because of the way the Android plugin was designed, bringing the build down for several hours. I came in, rewrote the Gradle build file to workaround the issue and it worked. Then I documented to the person why it hadn't worked and what I did to fix it.

As with the adoption of anything that gives you more rope to hang yourself with, it's a necessary piece of Gradle adoption to document your practices and train your team well.
The elephant in the corner of your argument is trademarks, which are vigorously protected by fashion labels.

I'm not affiliated and may not know what I'm talking about but ... the drones we're currently flying are programmed with a set of GPS waypoints, and assume uninterrupted airspace between those waypoints, avoiding collision with the ground by gaining altitude. Self-driving cars have the advantage of a map and can assume a reasonably flat road surface.

Imagine how complex the path planning would have to be for a robot like this to successfully climb and descend a rocky mountain ... not only would it have to plan where to place it's feet for balance, but it would have to look much farther ahead to avoid walking/running into dead-end paths.

So true. I'm extremely sensitive to my surroundings, so I find that the only way to comfortably be around lots of people is by having something that keeps me focused. This is usually my phone, sometimes a book, and occasionally a podcast (both of which could be on my phone).

That said, I really hate this new phenomenon, so my solution to this is to have a smartphone, but no internet. As a result, when I do employ my device as a way to avoid being overstimulated, the 'distraction' is at least of some quality, be it a long-form Instapaper article, a chapter of a book, or a podcast that spends an hour on a single topic.

It's not perfect, and I still put my phone away whenever I can handle my surroundings, but it works.
I usually do when I visit the new page, yea, but it's not a place I go to that often.

i wonder if you could stream from the Steambox to your office room instead of doing the opposite. id definitely need lots of power for games in the living room but for the office work if it boils down to browsing you could just stream that from your living room box.
How many failed projects do you think the NSA has suffered? The NSA aren't immune to reality (even though they are well insulated from it). As for why you don't hear about the failures, we know of at least one very big IT disaster project called Trailblazer. Thomas Drake, a former NSA executive blew the whistle on this particular project, and was rewarded for that favor with Espionage charges.

I mostly agree with you, but I would argue that 'useless time' is far from useless. Boredom is important and valuable, and, as has often been mentioned in discussions like these, the value of 'useless time' is evident when you consider how many good ideas are a result of long showers, other bathroom activities, or periods of sustained 'disconnect'.
I think this was meant as a joke.
That's pretty great, In what language? can you post the code? What company you work for?
I like the idea, and was secretly planning to do that eventually. And also I remember drawbang! I thought up the original "pixtweet" around the same time you first posted it to HN.
What do you think of:

"Add beautiful widgets to your website."

It's as short and easy to remember as the current tagline. How does it sound for a native english speaker?
Time and reflection, I think.

I grew up in a culture where television was rather 'new'. Whenever we visited people, they would actually turn the television on. On the other hand, in my home culture the tv has been a presence for decades, and somewhere along the way we've decided that it is rude to turn on the tv when you have visitors.

Now I am assuming that the situation in my home culture was similar when tv was new. I'm not at all certain about that.
Would mass-produced closed loop be a viable solution here? I'd imagine the engineering costs incurred ahead of time would add to quite a bit, but I'm unqualified to make any interesting judgment on any final balance of costs.

Since a major part of the federal budget is its several million employees, I'd also like to see a ticker that shows how the deficit is behaving during the massive furlough ... is it going down?

And what about unemployment? Is it funded even with the shutdown? And are furloughed federal employees eligible for unemployment compensation?

I'm not going to pick sides in the current battle, but I do think the federal government is far too big, and that we really don't get enough for the money we put into it. One interesting side effect of the current standoff is that we can see what it's like without most of the government ... perhaps we should trim off the parts we (collectively) don't seem to miss.
LOL, you just described UK. Multiculturalism doesn't work - it has been tested here.

The reasons for saying CH is expensive is usually true only for travelers because the currency is so overvaluated comparatively to their own currency. While inside the country with a decent salary you are usually better off than most countries.
Interesting read.

Especially as a student living in the most expensive city, in the most expensive country in the world (Oslo, Norway).

I do appreciate living in a country with free healthcare and University education. But it does have its side effects on society and the economy.
> There needs to be some incentive for tedious work to be done at a modest wage. Otherwise the supply of labor will crash through the floor.

Of human labor, yes, but fortunately we have machines and computers... And that's exactly the point. Forcing people to do things machines can do is one of the most irrational and sadistic aspects of modern civilization. The principal reason we have such a situation is the absence of basic income, or some equivalent that would eliminate the need for wage slavery in exchange for bare survival. For all other kinds of work, if it really is something humans are necessary for, people will do it because it means it's interesting (or necessary, and I think jobs which are impossible, at the moment, to automate and necessary and completely uninteresting to anybody are so few that there will never be shortage of labor).

EDIT: grammar.
That article is rather pointless as it measures highly subjective things like friendliness and compares crime stats which are derived using different approaches in different countries. So what if Japan has little to none reported crime. China has little to none reported corruption.

On top of that all this is moot because it's highly dependand on what country you yourself come from. Are you black? Well, sucks to be you if you want to visit eastern Europe. Are you not Japanese? Better be prepared for some unexpected racism in Japan that will make you question what century you're living in.

Do you come from a country just next door who happen to have had some history together well before you were born? That's probably the worst. Look at the comments section of that article for an entertaining explanation of why people tend to vacation on the other side of the planet rather than with their neighbours.

Since the purpose of the comparison is to find nice places to go to you should compare reports based on tourist trips. Crime that happened to tourists, prices paid by tourists and service received by tourists. That kind on comparison would be a better basis for which country is best to visit.

3 different graphics cards, 3 different processors, 300 total prototypes being shipped. Is around 33 systems at each specification level going to be enough to properly evaluate the different design levels?

Remember that they probably have a number of audiences they are considering targeting. Off the top of my head, there is at least three core groups. The high media consumption family who all game and often game together is currently in vogue for console marketing. The 'hardcore' gamer crowd who play high demand FPSes and MMOs, who used to be the traditional market segment for Steam. Then there's the casual gamer who plays lighter games, but may well play a lot more games than the 'hardcore' gamers. The last one I can think of would be the family which buys consoles for the kids, and the parents have yet to be converted and still need to be properly sold on all the interactive TV features. I doubt that only 8 samples at a given level would give any meaningful data once statistical variation was factored in.

The only conclusion from that which makes any sense is that Valve are going after a single demographic at the start, most likely heavy gamers. But I am concerned that this will both cause key issues to be overlooked, and that this will make expanding outwards into other segments very hard. Although they will have some big name assistance with getting into a wider market, just look at Apple versus Android. Despite the leaps and bounds android has come on, iPhones and iPads are still viewed as less geeky and easier to use.

On the other hand, however, perhaps Valve are intending just that result. After all, the controller will often need custom mappings to be selected, so perhaps that is a good market for them. If I were a living room electronics manufacturer, however, I'd really want ease of use to be at the core of my products. I wouldn't want to integrate with my premium TVs something that could be called "geeky".
Something similar with AMD. My flex graphic supports 4 screens. At some point proprietary drivers dropped this and now it only supports 3 screen. Open-source driver works just fine with 4.
I think this really is the focus of it.

The designers’ problem of less is more
The US could lose half of it's GDP and still be in front of every other nation in terms of wealth. It borrows a lot of money, more than it takes in. But that's based on the past and present growth. It's a fine line the US walks. But you're right, the US is in now way broke. It's like the Donald Trump of countries. Even "broke" it's worth more than you because it has so much earning potential.
> if women aren't citizens that's not a democracy either.

And if children aren't citizens? If immigrants (who live in the country, pay taxes, etc.) aren't citizens?

The place where democracy first happened, where the name came from, was ancient Athens circa 500BC. The only people allowed to vote were adult male citizens who had been through military training.

I do (lest there be any doubt) agree that a polity in which a large fraction of the population can't vote is an unsatisfactory sort of democracy. But I think what's wrong with these places is that they are bad democracies, not that they aren't democracies.

(The line between "bad democracy" and "not democracy" is a bit fuzzy. Take an ordinary democracy and say that you can't vote if your net worth is negative; what you get is, at least in my opinion, a bad democracy but still a democracy. But say that you can't vote unless your net worth is in the top 5% of the population and you've got a plutocracy. The transition between the two is a gradual and ill-defined one.)
The shutdown is a political maneuver by a small faction that would otherwise lack power.
