2nd choice (sorry for my confused english). But then there might be legal consequences to factor in. Engineers shouldn't probably care about that.

As for the first choice, ideally Intel should do that to provide the best possible compiler out there, but that would really be shooting oneself in the foot, unless they are guaranteed to always have the upper hand on the hardware side. It would also require them to study AMD cpus deeply (how instructions get translated to microcode, how that microcode is optimized, etc) - they probably have people doing that (if that's legal).

Thanks for taking the time to answer me.

Edit: modified my upper comment.
The key part there is 'gender-dysphoric' which basically my identity lies somewhere in the middle between male and female.

That basically means that while I don't feel like I'm in the wrong body, I do prefer (to some degree) to socially act and be treated as a woman.

I had many issues with Backblaze over several years.

I found 1-2 times a year, when initiating a backup, the entire archive I had disappeared, as in, my computer would start to send all of my files all over again. This was very disconcerting.

I never liked seeing all files on an network drive disappear just because it was unplugged.

The final straw was when I attempted to restore a large archive, and saw the download speed was so slow, it would not finish before this restore was removed on Backblaze's servers.

Crashplan, has had zero issues over 2-3 years now. I've restored large files without issue, they store versions which I don't even need/want, and the desktop software works very well. Highly recommended.
The Long Road to “Overnight” Success
I made a super simple paid Android app with a list of interesting Physics Puzzles (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boredominn...). Took a month to make and now it is completely passive. Brings in some spare change with zero maintenance (~$50/month).

I built this in 2011 to learn app development (its a webapp built using PhoneGap). Took about a month of evening/weekend work to push out, and most of that time was consumed by collecting and creating interesting puzzles. It was featured on Google Play's Top Paid Educational Games leaderboard for a while, and that contributed to a spike in income. That apart, I haven't done/don't know of any viable means to promote it.

My point was that you cannot point out a failure as a reason, nothing more.

You can't say "because they failed at X they should do Y" and then later make up a reason why doing Y makes sense, doing so does not change the validity of your original argument.
There's a classic (and probably apocryphal) story about this, from the time when Japan was just starting to turn things around. I can't locate it (even though I'm sure it's out there) so I'll paraphrase and retype:

Back in the dark ages, when computers filled rooms and devoured power, IBM decided to take a risk and try outsourcing some electronics manufacturing to Japan to see how it would go. They put out bids with full specs and also specified a 3% defect rate, which was considered aggressively low at the time.

They found a willing Japanese supplier and manufacturing began. Some months later, the parts arrived in big crates. The IBM people cracked open the first one to find their parts inside, but some of them were off to the side in a separate compartment. A note was attached. "Dear sirs: our cultural differences make it so that we have difficulty understanding some of your requests, but we have done our best to do what you have asked. Here are the 3% defective parts as you requested, packaged separately for your convenience."

I've lived in Mexico City a couple years and visited regularly since 1997.

Things have changed drastically in the last seventeen years. Statistics show that they changed even faster between 1985 and 1997, but I didn't see that.

The middle class has been growing at an astonishing pace. Vast swathes of Azcapotzalco, Xochimilco, and even Iztapalapa that were poor and backwards are now prosperous, clean, and exciting. The fashionable neighborhoods in Coyoacán, Polanco, and the Roma have become outright opulent. The Historic Center is neat, safe, popular, and crowded at all hours with local and international botiques and restaurants.

You can clearly see the mountains Chiquihuite from downtown and El Águila from Coyoacán nearly every day now. In 1997, the mountains around the city were more like rumors behind the pollution. Last month, I actually saw Iztaccihuatl and Popocatépetl from the center of the valley. Out by the canals of Cuemanco, local wildlife biologists tell me that the water is cleaner, the population of birds is increasing again, and recovery programs for the aquatic axolotl are working.

High school graduation and college completion rates have been skyrocketing. New universities are spreading and growing across the valley. Education is especially important because Mexico City college graduates live nearly as well as American college graduates. The income gap is in the working classes without credentials.

GDP per capita is misleading, so let's consider personal income. Housing and transportation and meals cost about a quarter as much as in the USA for the middle class. That's about 80% of a typical budget. Cops and public administrators with good educations are now making US$10k to start and programmers and engineers around US$20k. The median household income in Benito Juarez county, with about 600k people and no fashionable rich areas, is approaching US$30k. The neighboring parts of Coyoacán, Miguel Hidalgo, Álvaro Obregón, and Cuauhtémoc counties are richer.

So I really endorse the Gates's impression of development success in Mexico City.
Exactly. And it implies something different than what was meant if you read the surrounding context.
Investors expect to see most of their investments fail. That's built in to the business model.

No, it's still FAR less banking activity than credit cards. You have no idea what happens behind the scenes when you swipe!

Transit costs an ISP (who buys 40+ gigabit circuits) about $1/megabit @ 95th percentile. 1 Terabyte is about 3 megabits/second fully loaded for a month - So, presuming that DO has to pay for their pipe, that 1 TB costs them $3.

Except that nobody ever has an average bandwidth utilization equal to their 95th percentile utilization. And Amazon probably has a lower mean-to-95th-percentile ratio than most ISPs, since a lot of their customers are "peaky" to begin with.

GRANNT Chart: A Grantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. Grantt charts illustrate the start and finish dates of the terminal elements and summary elements of a project, such that completion of the project qualifies the team for a research and development grant.

Serious answer: Issues are not--to my knowledge--a software estimation tool. I have worked for decades in estimation-oriented development environments, and in my (anecdotal) experience, it is a mistake to use the same tool for both estimation and delivery.

It is seductive for them to be the same thing, as you can feed actual times back into your project, but the conclusion I've drawn is that the estimate reflects a kind of "interface" visible to the outside world, while the issues reflect an "implementation" visible to the team.

When they are the same thing, you end up doing a lot of work fiddling with the estimate to keep it congruent with the internal tasks, even when that congruence is not relevant to the delivery date(s).

I realize that this is heterodoxy.

"Ottomate cuts the electricity completely and, he estimates, can save you up to 75 percent on your energy bills."

...except running my clothes dryer or stove for 60 minutes (~3kWh) uses more power than most things I could plug into that device would use in a month.

There are so few devices I could actually use this on in my house. Maybe the stereo power amp which uses 9W (6.5kWh in 30 days) when "off". Everything else has a clock or expects to have constant power to work as expected.
Personally, I disagree. Sure, first you get time estimation. Then you get task-based time tracking, then you get average resolution time per committer, then you get weekly spreadsheet generation and analysis meetings on thursday afternoons and there you go, now you're getting memos about adding coversheets to your TPS reports.

I hope they are very careful about adding features and would rather see them focus on trimming less useful features.

1. The invitation form ask for gender, implying men are allowed to attend.

2. If we assume that an imbalance in a system is self-enforcing, then it is unlikely to remedy itself - even if we remove what initially caused the imbalance, because it is self-enforcing.

3. I don't think you brought up the transgender issue in good faith. The organizers of this event have given no indication that they align themselves such a fringe group.

I'm not arguing against the personal choice aspect of this. Just that it changes a culture's attitude toward having children, creating an unfair bias against it in future members of society.

Grunt has done nothing, but piss me off since I've used it. The one plugin that it is missing is a JS library dependency resolver (put in the file paths, put in the dependencies, and spit out the file paths in the optimal load order). I've used grunt standalone (which sucked when I spent half the day in the config), I've used it with Yeoman (which suffers the same problem as using Grunt standalone), and I've used it with Lineman (which essentially sidesteps the problem by concatenating all the files together in an order you specify).

Grunt is simply too complicated for a lightweight such as myself and I wish the tooling existed to make the pain go away.
I have no idea how things work with moot's company, but depending upon how your backend is built, moving it can be rather a lot of effort, effort which will be in short supply as people involved with the company are now suddenly very busy looking for new employment.

We went through something similar as chumby industries was dying where a lot of effort near the end (and even past it) went into network traffic optimization aimed at "keeping the lights on" as long as possible past the retail death of the product. Significant dependencies on Amazon's AWS/S3 infrastructure were built into our backend at that time, which limited our effective ability to host on something cheaper without making changes much larger than were warranted to make on a volunteer effort for maintaining a dead service.

TL;DR/Lesson learned -- It is a good idea to implement your backend services in such a way that they could, in the future, be deployed on vanilla Linux hosting if need be, even if you currently rely on some "cloud" provider with its own APIs.

Same question on SO

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2353818/how-do-i-get-star...
As ezl pointed out, the topic is too big for this format, so...the short version.

Trulia started as a scraper site to pull info that is NOT in an mls. That is why they first opened in NYC where there was no mls and at present they pull foreclosure data which is also not mls listed property. They do other things, but they were not trying to merely replicate data already available via "the mls" (multiple listing service owned and operated by brokerages collectively by private membership)

Zillow made their big splash with the Zestimate and then branched out after they had lots of eyes on the site via the zestimate before they moved into for sale property data.

Both are what we call "bottom feeder" sites. The big player is Redfin.com and I don't see you mentioning them. They started as a more data driven tech experience before they farmed out or bought into a lot of their tech work. That is the model you want to look at. Redfin takes mls data plus 3rd party info regarding schools...walk score...many other startup and generally bottom feeder site data and incorporates it into one display...including the zillow zestimate link. They did not intend to be a brokerage initially and shifted gears as the money was in the consumer's pocket and not the brokers' and so they followed the money and shifted to an RE commission model to capture the commission dollars vs being paid by brokerages.

As mentioned here they primarily tried to use tech to reduce the cost of service. They have had to increase their commission from their original idea once or twice and elevate the agent component as well. Their original idea was to make real estate a totally online experience. They are the model to study as to what didn't work and to emulate as to what does.

There is lots of room for more Redfin.com models. There are also many small companies here in Seattle trying other ideas...but Redfin is the one you should all study before continuing with this discussion. People first used them for the tech and not the commission discount. I don't even bother with a website as I only talk to my clients in Redfin links, even though I could easily bring them into the mls private portal.

Their original concept was to take 2% market share. A modest goal. They have far exceeded that goal and have grown BUT they do not go to cheap markets generally where the commission discount makes no sense business-wise for the company vs the consumer. Lower commission only works in places where home prices are high or at least above the national median.

One of my clients sent this link to me and asked for my thoughts. Please excuse the intrusion.
There's also state spyware like FinSpy that makes it seem like your phone is being turned off, or that airplane mode is activated but it's not so they can track you and listen in. Your baseband can also be sent silent sms for precise tracking, or sent commands to auto answer and turn on the mic without you ever knowing. Phones can also be bricked this way if the goal is just shutting down communication. Your carrier can also be coerced into OTA updating the SIM to broadcast your location, intercept voice, or programmed to use rogue BTS set up by police instead of regular towers.

Where I really crossed the threshold into understanding Feminism was in a class I took in college (as trite as it sounds). We were discussing gender-specific organizations, not unlike the one in this post, when someone asked why it's OK for women to have a conference, but if men did, people would flip. The teacher gave a long-winded answer, but what really stuck with me most was a single statement: "Because every other organization is already a men's organization." YMMV.

Perhaps I extrapolated too much, but the line "There are still slums and pockets of poverty, but by and large when I visit there now I think, Wow, most people who live here are middle-class. What a miracle." just because this particular area had less poverty, doesn't mean there are less people living in poverty, it just means they may be more hidden. Actual stats would have been helpful.

That's taking the wrong understanding of my point. I'm not saying the choice should be taken away on a personal level. In fact it's central to my point that individuals should have the choice. Which is why I'm arguing against giving the choice on a societal level, because there are long-term ramifications of doing so, which include implicitly biasing the choice of individuals within future generations towards not having children.

You're absolutely right. They say a picture is worth a thousand words - animated gifs even more so. I could almost imagine a world where animated gifs replace all kinds of communication.

> You are intentionally misrepresenting my explicit statement

I don't think I am -- in a very (very, very) regulated environment, the cost of substances which have perceived high externalities and are available on the regulated market will be much higher than the cost of the same substances on the black market. Or people will shift to alternatives and start sniffing glue.

Another difficulty is measuring the harm of drugs against the benefits -- how much do you factor in the subjective pleasure of the individual? What about the art, music and literature that was created by people under the influence of drugs?

> My own views of free will and responsibility are informed by considerable research and investigation on the matter.

I infer that you reject the notion of free will in certain circumstances, for example when the individual is under the influence of mind-altering substances. Does this also shape your opinion on free speech? (This is purely out of curiosity and completely tangential to other issues)
I don't support thinkcomp's lawsuit for various reasons, but...

Sure, if BitCoin didn't exist, you'd have to do a lot of things yourself that the BitCoin network now makes trivial. But why should those companies be forced by law to pretend that BitCoin and its network don't exist? And don't have the properties that they have?

I don't think this is a good interpretation of the situation. Bitcoin does not natively provide anti money laundering which is one of the primary purposes of money transfer regulation. Bitcoin also doesn't provide consumer protections that many people want.
