People judge things differently when it is "safety" on the line versus "money". "Of course we need to spy on everything to keep us safe" and "of course we should not be spying just to help some companies make more money" are beliefs easily held in the same brain, and while I don't have polls to point to on the latter point (though I'd be hugely interested to see them!) I expect both are prevalent. I would not venture to guess just how prevelant the position against industrial espionage is, beyond "somewhere in the range of 20% to 70% of the population," however.

This is a false dichotomy. The Nexus 5 is $349 off-contract and has no bloatware. The Moto X is going on sale for just $300 off-contract tomorrow (the regular off-contract price being $400).
Your best bet might be startups that have been acquired by mega-corps. Such as:

* Heroku (owned by Salesforce)
* Climate Corporation (owned by Monsanto)

The above two and some similar companies should hit all your checkboxes.

I've started with this[1] blog post, then worked quite a bit on adding proper error checking to the example code to figure out why it failed :), now the author has merged my changes. So perhaps it's a worthwhile example to start from now. I haven't done much with OpenCL yet, though, in the end I figured out that my ~7-8 year old laptop ran SIMD optimized C code faster on the host CPU than on the GPU (I wrote this[2] with heavy SIMD optimization work, not sure anymore whether this was what I tested against OpenCL though), which is a reason why.

define low and high, because the "buy low sell high" mantra doesnt mean anything.
Because a certain number of new coins are being created each day through mining so the supply of coins is increasing and if demand doesn't increase to match it the price is going to fall. It isn't a perfect calculation because those mining could hold the coins and not sell them immediately but the fact remains that the total supply is increasing and will at some point be put into circulation.

You are underestimating the importance of infrastructure and technology in this equation. No, it's not all just content. Netflix has mastered streaming and is far away ahead of everyone else. Their interface, especially on smart TV and STB apps is better than anyone else's, a far more interactive experience for the end-user.

In addition Netflix has built up infrastructure to allow it to stream in high def in the first place. They are peering near ISPs in large localities to reduce bandwidth costs and improve speeds to the user.

On top of that, how often does your netflix stream stop to buffer? Almost never. They've encoded every file in almost every possible resolution and bitrate and the player seamlessly switches amongst them as the connection slows or speeds up.

Remember, it's not about streaming on your laptop, it's about your television. Forget about the browser experience.

I'm constantly in amazement of Netflix. There is so much more to them than merely acquiring or creating content. To say that Disney and TW will simply setup their own services with great ease discounts the barriers to entry that they will face, as well as the significant costs.

The whole point is that Netflix is racing to build up infrastructure and IP so that the economics of Disney starting its own streaming service instead of getting revenue by streaming on Netflix will not make sense.

Honest question... how is this different from, say:

rows, err := db.execute("SELECT col FROM tab WHERE x = ?", 1);
Almost. It derives from robota serf or corvee labour. While either of those are certainly slave like, they are distinct from chattel slavery (which is what most people think of when you say slave). The key difference is that chattel slavery has the slaves as actual property. Serfdom implies a responsibility from the master to the serf, beyond that implied by chattel slavery. Corvee labour is essentially a tax in the form of labour.
You can also try Julia in your browser here: https://cloud.sagemath.com
However, you have to (1) make a free account, (2) create a project, (3) open project, click on "+New", click Terminal, (4) type "julia". If you create a .jl file instead of a Terminal (at +New), you'll have proper Julia syntax highlighting and indentation; you can then run that file from the terminal...

"Of course we should not be spying just to help some companies make more money" is another way of saying "of course we should not use US government power to ensure our continued dominance in the aerospace and telecommunications industries".

Given that Netflix has Ted Sarandos as its CCO, I think they are well-placed to make the right decisions regarding content.
Confused: free market and net neutrality are coherent ideas. Both are a free market for the participants (not the government/lobbyists hoping to profit by price-fixing or supply-fixing).

Or should we conflate those with govt-supported monopoly (local cable companies) wanting to skim money for no work, with private citizens wanting to trade their personal property WITHOUT govt interference?

"...if I have $100 laying around there's almost nothing to do with it that is not brainless consumerism or basically throwing it away."

People could put that money in an emergency fund or pay off credit card debt. 39% of Americans carry credit card debt month to month [1], and I'd believe a far higher proportion of the poor would.

And most of them suck ass. You can't stream an NBA game live without it buffering the crap out of itself.

Based on what Amazon has done so far, it doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. They have no understanding of content - their recently released pilots were horrible. You can let a bunch of tech guys up in Seattle make content decisions.
In Germany we call what he did a "Nazivergleich". I cannot remember one as bad as his being uttered by a public figure over here in the last few decades and quite a few public figures had to apologize/step down because of Nazivergleiche that were way weaker.

I don't want to reiterate everything I vented in the previous discussion of this incident[1], but the point is:

You DO NOT invoke the Holocaust to draw attention on something else.

The holocaust is of central importance to the history of the western world. A Germany that, at the turn of the century, was a beacon of science, industrialization and even free thought, took only fourty years to transform into a state where it was possible to conduct industrialized genocide without much opposition.

This is not to be taken lightly, but to be contemplated and internalized. It is not to be invoked just to make a conversational point. AND YOU DON'T USE IT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO YOURSELF.

As a former Groupon employee in Palo Alto (they acquired my startup this past year) I can tell you working from home is most definitely not "fine."

My startup was based in San Francisco. Even though Groupon has an office in the city, they mandated my entire team be in the Palo Alto office from day one.

The rest of the things you mention are spot on. Besides the commute issue I had no complaints.

I'll repeat my usual complaint about the 2009 intergenerational mobility survey cited in the article as demonstrating the U.S. has lower income mobility than, say, Denmark. It's a survey of relative mobility, which in a society with a much narrower ("equal") income distribution will show more "mobility" even with much smaller absolute income changes.

Suppose the middle 80% of earners in nation A make between $50,000 and $70,000, while the middle 80% of nation B make between $20,000 and $100,000. If across one generation a father in nation B making $50,000 has a son who makes $100,000, that represents substantially less "mobility", as this survey defines it, than a father in nation A making $50,000 who has a son that makes $70,000.

The difference between income distributions in Denmark and the U.S. are likely not this stark, but I bet it's significant. AFAIR the survey makes no attempt to account for this.

> Many providers, including the ones you mentioned, have feature parity w/ Netflix.

Oh really? Netflix is far ahead of the competition when it comes to device support. And the streaming technology plays a lot bigger role than you might imagine, especially when it comes to live content. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a solved problem. Like I mentioned above in another comment, just try watching a streaming NBA game.
I found its inclusion incomprehensible. I purchased the book and got as far as the third chapter. I learned more from researching the book itself than I did from trying to actually read the thing.

Gurdjieff existed in a time before personal development really became a thing. He did not believe in books as an effective method for change. His technique was primarily interpersonal, he thought one needed a guru to tell them what to do, much as we would today hire a personal trainer to help us work out more effectively.

He survived a terrible automobile accident later on in life and turned his attention to his legacy. He wrote three books, Beelzebub was his first. The intention was to provide a 'textbook' of sorts. Because it was so hard to read, the seeker would be driven to seek out someone to interpret the work for them.

The actual content of the book, when you strip out the intricate allegory and dense terminology, is actually pretty simple. It basically states Gurdjieff's ideas concerning the human condition. The default status of man is waking sleep, one needs inner spiritual work to rouse themselves out of that state.

It isn't that large companies don't do interesting things, it's that they also do a lot of horribly uninteresting things. Large companies often have large customers (e.g. governments) with obtuse and inflexible requirements, internal politics that restrict what you can invent, legacy code bases that have to be maintained and/or transitioned away from, etc. There is no doubt a whole team of people at Microsoft whose jobs are to make and test patches for Windows Vista. Those people are surely well-compensated for their work, but they're not exactly changing the world.

1. Negative keyword search is not available. Can we please add that back in.

2. Having a date filter is better than none but I STRONGLY preferred the old one where you can sort by descending order from most recent to oldest. The current date filter still leaves things out of order even if it restricts time frame trying to mimic Google's filter.

3. Exact match search doesn't work either. It currently works similar to phrase match, where as long as the keywords exist, that will show results rather than in the exact order specified. Perhaps create two separate ways to do this kind of search.
Some people do hold the coins, though. I am not sure what the percentage is. In my case I have some Doge and have not sold any at this point.

This seems to be the "upward mobility" version of the American dream. Not the white fence+wife+dog one.
I would not say, that the American dream is dead completely, but I would say, that it is dead for very big parts of the US people in practice, even if they still dream the American dream.
what's the general CPI you're seeing for US users on facebook atm? i know this can vary hugely, but a ballpark figure would be nice
That's a fair criticism. It's certainly true that given some assumptions about random income changes, there's more mobility in narrower income distributions than wider ones without anything "real" happening. I do think it depends on what the study is trying to show, though, which in part depends on where in the web of arguments and counterarguments in falls.

One very common argument I hear from Americans is something like this: it's true that (some of) Europe has lower income inequality than the US. However, Europe's inequality is more entrenched and hereditary, and therefore actually worse than America's in social effects, even though in magnitude it seems less bad. The difference between wealthier and poorer parts of society, this argument goes, is higher in America, but this is not as harmful because the divergence is just based on what you make of yourself and changes generation to generation, rather than being based on rigid notions of class or heredity like in Europe and persisting across generations. So the European rich man might only be 10x as rich as the poor man, while the American one is 100x, but the European has this 10x difference predestined from birth, whereas the American's 100x arises only during life.

This study seems to show that particular narrative doesn't quite go through: the U.S. has a larger class divide and it persists across generations more than Europe's smaller class divide does. The second part may well be redundant, as you point out (it might only persist more because it's larger), but that doesn't necessarily make the problem any less bad.
My reaction too.

I have some classics: "This Shirt Is A Munition / RSA in 4 lines of PERL", "RSA It's Just An Algorithm", "DOOM II", "Matrix Special Effects Crew", "World of Goo" (Shirt Got Game), and others. I know they're worth something both $$$ and history. Wish I knew how to find a buyer or museum.
I would say, that you are right, but I would define the "fence+dog" one as not the original "American dream", even when many people are content with fence+dog.
Just keep in mind that outside of the SV/tech startup sphere most entrepreneurship happens with founders in their 40s-50s. These are people who work the corporate life for a couple of decades, build extensive field knowledge and connections, then spot an opportunity and leverage their resources to take the plunge.

The thing is, that marriage (Marriage 1.0) of say 50 years ago, is not the same as marriage today (Marriage 2.0). The laws and societal norms are different.

So it is not clear then, if the incentives to be married have changed (I think they have, based on my observation); if some part of the "math" is different, then, that would explain why the marriage rates are different.
This unwarranted government intervention is not good though I hate the bloatware.

Everytime I visit my parents I end up spending half an hour removing browser toolbars, make your PC fast software. So I bought them a brand new Lenovo laptop just to find that there were 22 different kind of bloatware from DNS related stuff to browser toolbars to some weird webcam and what not software.

No matter how much I hate them, these bloatware help reduce prices of the laptops making them more affordable to many. Let the market function well. Government intervention is unwarranted.
