I have a hard time seeing anyone actually use this for one reason: it's not Illustrator. Build something that allows them to completely use their existing, frankly much more user-friendly, workflow with no changes and it might at least get looked at. (Illustrator already supports EPS, but since everyone who matters already has Illustrator, not a lot of people bother, even when not running outside EPS's format restrictions.)

Nobody cares about your standards if meeting your standards doesn't benefit them. And the people actually creating stuff own Illustrator already.
It's ACH, which is great for fees but has numerous drawbacks as well.
I'd use it, so long as it wouldnt have a long ugly url, something simple, similar to placehold.it/300x300, where the 300x300 indicates the size of the placeholder img.

He won his first two titles in a Benetton Ford that was widely considered to be inferior to the Williamses. At Ferrari, it took the team four years after Schumacher joined, to build a car that was truly on par with the best on the grid. But even before that Schumacher had come close to winning the championship, challenging Villeneuve's Williams for the title in 97, and Hakkinen's McLaren in 98 and 99.

OK, how deep have you looked for evidence?

Ah, I see.

Something being regulated does not mean that it can't be used industrially. Many types of explosives are regulated even though they are used industrially every day in quarries and mines.

Still, restricting thermite would be silly and ineffective. As a chem-lab assistant, I made the stuff in highschool. Aluminum powder is widely available and rather cheap, as is iron oxide (obviously ;). I also made cupric oxide thermite, but that didn't work as well.
Very roughly, by comparing cost of living it'll be worth about ~$200,000 in India. But keep in mind that the cost of manpower in India is much lower than the US.

It's not widely known but the United States was the first developed country to promote a basic income, in the form of the Alaska Permanent Fund. Each year, every US citizen resident in Alaska receives a dividend payment from this fund. The amount varies based on market returns but it has hovered around $120/month ($1400/yr) over the last decade. Children are eligible, so a family of 4, for example, would receive $480/month.

Economists who want to study the effect of a basic income can travel to Alaska and see the impact for themselves.

It always struck me as ironic because Alaska is one of the most conservative states, and conservatives are not usually in favor of handouts. In this case, however, the inflows to the fund come not from personal income taxes but from taxes and lease-revenue on the state's natural resources, notably oil and gas. Because of this, people view it as a birthright, similar to an inheritance, rather than a handout, like welfare.

In 1976 Alaska's citizens just banded together and determined that (1) all of these natural resources are shared, and the benefits from them should be shared also; and (2) none of us trust the Government to spend this money for us, better than we could spend it ourselves. Today, it is the most popular Government program in the state with near absolute bi-partisan support.

So there seems to be precedent that this can work, if you have a massive sovereign wealth fund that is fed by revenues from shared resources. There are other countries, like Saudi Arabia or Norway, who will probably be the first to try this on a nation-wide scale before Switzerland.
WTF? What review system, exactly, doesn't link to the reviewer's profile -- permission implied by posting? It's not even a generalism; it's a fact, full stop.
> I have a hard time figuring out what the ideal grant amount is, but I'd want $15k as an absolute maximum, and more likely something like $10k-$12k.

That seems unrealistically low. Around here, 10k isn't even enough to pay rent on a studio in a low-income area populated largely by migrant day laborers. What is the point of a minimum income if it isn't even enough to keep a minimum roof over your head?

That was my thought when I was reading the article. On-chip SRAM on microcontrollers feels different because on general purpose CPUs the generic programming model has registers and RAM with the cache managed for us by others. On MCUs you almost always end up being aware of on-chip SRAM and off-chip SRAM or DRAM. The lines are blurry for larger MCUs but for lower end stuff like Cortex M, AVR or MSP430 it's definitely a good idea to look over instruction timing for all the different flavors of storage.
almost certainly cheaper, but i doubt they ever make it to pennies per transaction. the best rates I have heard about are 1.6% + 20-30c
While $42 sounds a bit steep..

On one hand you have $42, convenience and looking good. On the other you have paper, ink, time and probably looking less good.

Algorithms have the same complexity no matter the machine: bubble sort is O(n^2) no matter if you use C64 or a new PC. That's why it uses operations instead of time - to be able to compare algorithms independently of machines it runs on.

Operations are usually defined as addition or multiplication or comparison. Moving a photon by epsilon isn't a valid operation in any architecture I'm aware of. Even if we use moving an electron by epsilon - you can't tell pentium to move one electron by exactly epsilon, it will move many at once, and it will move them by whatever it need to perform it's actual operations.

As for infinity - for all physically possible inputs the algorithm modified as described above will produce the same output as the algorithms that are considered correct by most people. If we care about infinities: any algorithm I've seen ever implemented was incorrect - most use integers or floats or doubles so their input space is very limited, and even the ones that use arbitrary length math - are run on machines with finite amount of memory.
What merchant would sign up for that?
Idiomatic C++ would allocate everything possible on the stack, and if that wasn't possible, use `make_shared`/`make_unique`. So maybe I will change it to say "doesn't use `new` directly".

They don't care. Designers don't care that you can code SVG manually yourself. They use Illustrator because it is the best software to do what they want. You need to respect that this is how designers work if you want to be taken seriously by designers--and that's step one of changing anything.

If it requires a text editor, you just lost 95% of designers (conservative guess) and you won't get them back because you've shown that you don't respect how they work.
I started learning Korean a month or two ago.

I'm using Pimsleur to bootstrap some phrases and simple grammar. IMHO this is a great way to get started on speaking the language and practicing pronunciation, at least if you are self-studying.

I bought this because it was cheap and it covers a variety of levels: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307972232/ref=oh_details_o.... I am not sure how useful it is for me right now, but I expect that over time it will be helpful for small collections of vocab. (It's also pretty cheap!)

I wanted a book that dealt with grammar, so I bought Basic Korean: http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Korean-Grammar-Workbook-Workbook.... It has been well worth it in my opinion.

Quizlet is an invaluable resource for this: quizlet.com. They have text to speech so you can hear pronunciation for arbitrary words, and lots of people have made sets for different collections of vocab. It's not just flashcards, as it offers you a few ways to test your knowledge. And there are apps for Android and iOS.

If anyone else has found useful mobile apps, I'd love to hear it. For the most part I haven't found anything that I thought was truly great, so for the most part I just listen & practice the Pimsleur lessons when I'm in transit.

Hope this helps!
Who's to say they won't start doing that in the future, where a competitor could purchase the negative review? And, what about my second point, which applies to any kind of review?

To me, it depends on how they got this "recommendation". If I mentioned that I liked the product on Google+ or Google Play and that recommendation was public. Sure, fair game. But, how likely is this really? Very few people (at least in my network) seem to use Google+ like that. But, if they got the recommendation based on search history or from some other method that is not explicit, then I certainly have a problem with it.

I'm remembering back to OJ Simpson case back in the early 90's. The police did things to try to pin the crime on him (searching trashdumps) that they simply don't do or don't have the resources to do in ordinary cases. (They found nothing but they tried and went to an extraordinary effort to try and find some evidence against OJ.)

g is "by default" unvoiced, but it becomes voiced between other voiced sounds (vowels or nasals). So in gagu "가구" (furniture), the first g is unvoiced but the second is voiced.

What complicates matter is that, in English, word-first g (as in "game") can become partially unvoiced, so g in English "game" is actually fairly close to the first g of "gagu"!

Under the hood, you still use shared memory in this style of programming. But the programmer never uses shared memory directly. Instead he passes references to the shared memory to other threads, and the act of passing a reference clears the reference in the sending thread so the sending thread can no longer access it.

In Rust, this style is enforced by the language. In C++11 you can enforce it by the convention of using std::unique_ptr and passing those between threads via a shared data structure like a blocking queue.

> The website answers the register question well, but leads to a further question: If registers are so great, why stick with just 16/32/64/n registers?

TFA gives at least one reason:

> Registers use an expensive and power-hungry active design. They're continuously powered, and when reading them, this means that their value can be read quickly. Reading a register bit is a matter of activating the right transistor and then waiting a short time for the powerful register hardware to push the read line to the appropriate state.

Registers use up a lot of silicon, and consume a lot of energy to power it. They also need to stay physically close to computing circuits, otherwise you end up with an L1 cache more than a register.

Furthermore, although ISA expose a number of registers A, OOO architectures (and their friends parallel and speculative executions) pretty much require the CPU to have > A registers and do register renaming, which lowers the number of registers the ISA can define. For instance the Alpha ISA defines 32 integer registers, but the Alpha 21264 had 80 physical integer registers.

Because people form a stronger rapport with those who share negative experiences than positive experiences. Granted, trying to take advantage of this is walking a very narrow tightrope, however if executed well then it could be hugely profitable.

Confirmation bias tells us that negative reviews will always be more numerous than positive reviews, however those people writing negative reviews will feel a stronger cohesion with each-other. As such, negative reviews will be more valuable to how people form first impressions.
Chris Hecker's articles on building a perspective correct texture mapper were awesome. In the late 90s, I used these articles to build a software renderer from the ground up in assembler and then added bilinear filtering at no additional charge.

I don't see it. Devanagari characters are not assembled by combining smaller blocks of sound.
I don't think you would do that at all.

Places like SF and NY are more expensive because there is more demand to live there and a limited supply of places to live. Presumably if you're on a basic income, you won't be able to afford to live in the "most desirable" areas in the entire country.

This would be akin to guaranteeing everyone a basic transportation and then having someone say "Well, actually, I wanted a BMW."
And you provided the possibility of an "alibi" without actually corroborating said "alibi".

Their shipping charges for non-US address must be because of their supply-chain. Also its quite possible the hardware gets mass produced in China and shipped to US in bulk like any other product.
I suspect that quite a few people wanted to use it for projects that had a high likelihood of being considered "evil" by some people, so while the licensing restriction is ridiculous, I wonder if it didn't actually serve its intended purpose? (I'm thinking DoD/intel stuff primarily).
That's definitely another factor but I suspect it isn't the limiting factor. Sure, design a chip with a million registers and you'll end up constructing them like RAM. But with orders-of-magnitude fewer registers, 16 or 32 or whatever, the size of the register banks on the CPU can't be that significant to incur speed-of-light style delays, surely?
I look at it and I think "Hmm...I wonder if 100daycalendar.com is taken?". And that I could produce and ship that for a significantly less.
A one year CD goes for about 1% now ergo 3% is a long time horizon on value. 2-3 months is ~equivalent to a 0.1% fee per CD rates.
Korean is easier to learn to read and write, but much as w1ntermute says upthread it is harder to pronounce. Mandarin is quite regular & systematic in pronunciation; the tone just becomes part of the pronunciation. Grammar is relatively simple compared to Korean. This is an imprecise metric but it also seems to me that Korean has way more syllables for the same words, if nothing else because of all the particles and politeness levels.

But Mandarin reading & writing is punishingly hard. I studied Mandarin for a few years and although I could have some really basic conversations, I never learned to read or write. Korean has felt more rewarding in this regard-- I enjoy sounding out the words and delight in the occasional loanword.
And if that were really the case then you wouldn't see the big teams like Hendrick and Penske dominating. Heck, even Chip Ganassi has problems competing in NASCAR and he's hardly a small player.

Not that I'm necessarily anti the NASCAR approach (though I do think the organisation itself can be somewhat capricious), but it's certainly not a form of motor sport without team-based technical advantage.

Working: Find a company that won't micromanage you, and will trust you to get shit done.

Applying: Same as any other job. Make sure to stress that you can manage your own workload and communicate well.

Communication: Mainly Skype and email.

Salary: Same as any other job. Don't take a pay cut to work remotely -- you're still doing just as much work.

Time difference: Most companies have "core hours" where everyone needs to be available. They should be flexible otherwise, if you want to start later or earlier.

In terms of finding gigs, Careers.StackOverflow and WhoIsHiring will be your best bets.
That's definitely another factor. Again though, I doubt it's the limiting one. No-one (as far as I know) has produced a power-hungry CPU with (say) 5000 registers on it.
A way that would work: decide (by coding it into the clients and protocol) that future transactions from the seized address are not honoured by the network, and any chains that contain such a transaction are ignored.
Both Facebook and Google doing this is horrible. Whatever happened to: don't be evil.
You should read about the secret wars the US has led in Cambodia, their interventions of democratically elected governments in all of Latin America. I'm sure you must have heard of Iran-Contra, the funding of repressing Middle East dictactors.

That's an interesting thought: what orientation will your screen take in microgravity?

I see no problem with this at all if you make an actual review.

It's technically possible, but debates surrounding how and when to do this have been circulating for years. So far, the general consensus is that it would cause a lot of distrust in the system. Technically, +50% of BTC mining capacity could choose to ignore transactions, double spend coins, or even bring the network down. For a while, a shared mining pool got close to the 50% mark, but users deliberately moved away from it to bring it's share down.

For credit cards, some of the cost is prepaid interest. If a consumer pays their card on time, they don't get charged interest--however the bank loaned them money from the day of the transaction until they either get paid with the same billing cycle, or they start officially charging the consumer interest (which can take up to 60 days). The merchant pays this interest, which is high.

Debit cards are another matter.
