I am skeptical. There is no ecosystem of apps for this to succeed as a console. I feel they are doing this to shoehorn Amazon Prime Video and their video rental/selling service; and they can't directly compete as that alone considering the saturation of set-top devices. A console is a great way to make it in to that space, as Microsoft has done, but this seems too little too late unless they can come up with some serious special sauce.
I think you're using incorrect terminology here. Dividends comprise capital that is distributed from a C Corp, and have a special taxation structure that is separate from ordinary income.
Choosing only to teach actual science in science class doesn't exactly equate to censorship. There are all sorts of non-scientific beliefs that aren't covered in science class. Phrenology isn't part of biology. Continental drift isn't part of geology, but nobody calls those omissions censorship.
The main thing to understand is the basics. For example element wise multiplication vs full blown matrix operations.
Think something like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_multiplication

Matlab/Octave is a great way to practice this due to the native data types. If python is your thing numpy's arrays are also pretty easy to digest.

Subtle little tricks like this:

And understanding the dynamics of scalar operations vs matrix - vector operations.

The machine learning class has some good fundamentals if you need a refresher on how something works.

There will be more complex things like some optimization algorithms have different uses for eigen values:

See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalues_and_eigenvectors

One other thing might be understanding different ways you can manipulate data. In this case, numerical representation here is an example per row when I toss in one matrix for training. This is applicable to many machine learning problems.
My discussion was around "fairness". Do you think it's "fair"? Making some people pay more than others (unequal amounts) can be considered unfair (everyone paying exactly $X is also fair). Here's an analogy: when 5 friends go out for dinner, does the richest one pick up the tab, do they split it up equally, or does every individual pay for what he/she eats? You can argue that each of those options is "fair" in some way.
It's not irony--it's merely illustrating the point.
In science class, we teach science. Creationism is religion and belongs in religious studies.

If the students themselves or the parents "want" creationism to be taught, they may elect to take a religious studies program.

Also of note, anyone's inability or unwillingness to accept reality doesn't make reality any less real.
Exactly. Out of nowhere, I ended up in the hospital for five days and this would have made things even worse.
I don't know about his kind of tools, but I agree with you that doing business has rules to follow.

Cofounders should be paid if the company has received external investment already. Employees should be paid even if the company is not making money.

Looks like OP is very young, all he and his cofound concerned is about the product and market, etc., not including how to run a business. In business, cash flow is always the no. 1 concern. If there is not enough fund, don't hire, no lease. Based on my previous job experience, $1M cannot afford a team in office. $3M can only have 1 years expense. Startup's burn rate is super high. Founders need to have plan B in place. It is said, "Failed to plan is plan to fail".

Emotionally, it's hard to accept the pitfall from owing $1m to negative. But how about if you never had that $1m, was that going to feel better? It's all about expectation and planning.

So the most important thing is to learn what can be avoided from this lesson. A lot of people are helping him to get rid of fear on the emotional side. It's sad that I didn't see much help on the business side to help other failed companies as well. Emotion is temporarily. Closing out process is a must to go. But how to prevent the 90% of the failed companies to avoid the pain is more important.

A lot of people care about it, but I didn't see any experts helping outside the YC meetings, although here is YC extension forum.

The Doge of Wall Street: How one trader controls the price of Dogecoin
Indeed--one way to conceptualize a basic income is a negative head tax.
Inequality not being fundamentally unjust does not imply it isn't a huge problem for society.

First of all, it makes it easy for the wealthy to lock the poor (and the rich) into their locations on the income graphs. The systems the wealthy can set in place are an impediment to a meritocracy by ensuring the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor, whether that is through boarding schools and trust funds or the Drug War and a toothless minimum wage. If the resulting massive disparity in wages implies one thing, it's that our civilization is wasting a lot of untapped human productivity on the low end of the wealth graph.

Secondly, it creates social resentment, fragmentation, and stratification. These are just emotions and Sociology Major words, yes, but that doesn't mean they aren't real. If the people at the bottom of the ladder feel like they don't have the power to climb, a society can end very badly as its political process becomes more polarized and communities are segregated.

Finally, it creates large gaps not just in material wealth, but political. Whether you're a liberal or a conservative, you think either the Koch Brothers or George Soros are destroying America. Either way, it can be agreed that democracies are undermined by a few unelected individuals wielding huge amounts of power. Less income inequality means less political inequality.

Nothing you said is wrong, but it's unhelpful. It distracts from how important dealing with growing income inequality will be in the future by saying "The discourse... is frustrating to me, because it's not pedantically right." It might be necessary if sama was arguing against large wealth disparities in a post-poverty civilization, but that is not what we have. Like you said: Poverty is the problem. And while we have poverty, poverty and inequality are closely linked.
The main problem I see is that basic income would require a much richer society. If you want to have a system that gives a livable income to all unemployed people PLUS gives a significant income bump if someone gets employed, you need lots of money.
Not everything has to be timeless. Sometimes I just want to blog about a quick workaround for a tricky technical issue I spent two days banging my head on. Such information may not be widely known, but it also probably won't be relevant in a few months.
It's my understanding that it is hard to find VCs who want to fund chairities.
iirc there was an article few days ago about tools to detect trucrypt encryption types in use. The article mentioned the presence of some files cached by OSes, sometimes disclosing the presence, the type or even part of the content of TC volumes. Personally that is the most scaring part, having cached data leftover in the system, which is much more indicative than some pseudorandomness of TC strings.
I like the larger fonts.

It's possible that this is their first foray into ARM with a core license to get a feel, and their next iteration will be with an architecture license (which they can get some design value add).
In some cases, yes. In others, you can only manage that on a micro-level.

An example that comes to mind: at some point I was working on an optimized paintbrush tool that was to give perceptually similar results to drawing the brush image repeatedly along a path. I replaced the individual draws with convolution, but there was no way to make this exactly correspond with the "over" compositing operator that it was replacing. So I used a post-processing step to adjust it.

In this case, the divergence from the reference implementation was so great that you couldn't really compare them. But the results looked good, and the performance gains were tremendous. The only way to compare it would have been to create a new reference implementation that imitated the new algorithm, which would have told me very little. Instead, I did lots and lots of real world testing to ensure there were no missed edge cases.
Of course but if you compare a basic income system with a more complex and nuanced system (ala developed world today) – and set both to the same level of redistribution – would the basic income lead to a more equal society?
Contrary to the downvote and claim of implausibility, steganography does exactly that. A partition could easily contain extraneous data which could be used to hide and encrypt a message.

Your comment does exactly what I am describing. Your advocacy assumes all of the following are true without actually offering any evidence for them:

- "too much" wealth inequality is an a priori problem
- "extreme" inequality negatively impacts opportunity and mobility
- the increase in school tuition is somehow a symptom of this

You also said I'm taking things too literally, but is Elon Musk not an example of the "extreme" wealth inequality you are describing?
From a technical perspective, if you were lurking just inside a black hole's event horizon you would be completely anonymous. :)

I honestly don't understand the point of a "walled garden" blog, aside from perhaps a curation mechanic. If I were to post on there among all the great writers on the site, still nobody would have seen my work. So rather than I still a sense of inferiority into, well, everyone, why not just make it open and feature the best writers? Win-win. And if I'm not mistaken, that's Medium's approach, is it not?
Science is all about observation and repeatable experiments. When it comes to the question of how we got here, both creationist and evolutionists have the daunting task of convincing us to believe in an extraordinary tale with very little supporting evidence on either side. Either you believe a supreme being willed the world into existence or you believe that fish turned into people -- when you boil them down, both explanations are quite implausible. It seems fair to me that teachers would tell their students "Obviously we weren't around to witness the origin of the planet, but here are a couple theories people have on how we got here..."

I said it already elsewhere in this thread, but either the writer has other persistent storage, then it should just keep the data and retry later and nothing will be lost, or the writer doesn't have other storage, then you will also lose uncommitted data with a normal shutdown, as you can not even try to commit any data while a data base is down.
It Begins: AMD Announces Its First ARM Based Server SoC
Maybe their desktop and server CPUs aren't so hot right now, but I don't think you have to worry about AMD for a while. All of the current generation of consoles have AMD GPUs, those GPUs are on the same die as an AMD CPU for two of the three (PS4 and Xbone), AMD GPUs remain competitive with NVidia's offerings, and they seem to be winning mindshare with their lower-level Mantle graphics API.

EDIT: And the whole Bitcoin-mining thing (or Litecoin/Dogecoin mining thing, these days), as mentioned in another thread.
Agreed. I guess you mean "worrying about family" at the end.

With investment equity in place, why the cofounders and employees are not paid? How to calculate? They must be paid and reload as owner's paid-in later if the company is running out of fund. If they don't like to follow business rules, then how can we help? Just like there is a wall, you'd like to hit it by not walking around it.

This is where you lose me. Solving the problem of poverty is a matter of making sure that the poorest people have enough. Solving the "problem" of inequality is a matter of making sure that nobody has "too much."
Meanwhile on servers running Windows, keeping sync to within a few seconds is a mighty challenge, esp. with Hyper-V. (Linux guests have no issue with ms or sub-ms accuracy.)

That's a real improvement.

Ok. So?

>>Once the project gets really big and complex, C starts to get slower and harder to optimize than some higher level languages

True. The speed boost isn't automatic. It's up to the programmer to write fast code.

I have nothing against high-level languages and garbage collection. They certainly have a place. But if you use high-level languages exclusively, you'll never (or rarely) have the special joy of seeing your program run at the full speed of the hardware.

Build the cash reserves, get back on a stable financial ground and go ahead and try again.

Sometimes the myopic tendencies of these stories really drives the point of how self-absorbed one can get with this. Working for someone else likely means a nice office, nice chair, nice desk, nice computer and monitors and the ability to sit down for 8-9 hours a day and use your mind and likely a decent salary.

I think for the vast majority of people in the workforce that do don't software development, that's not surviving but thriving.
I believe that's not the takeaway point of the article. But that's my opinion.
You don't need a significantly richer society.

Today, everyone consumes the necessary amount to survive. If they didn't, they'd be, well, dead. I guess the relevant point is that few people, at least in Western countries, are dying of starvation or exposure (and those who do usually have severe mental illness).

This means that even with the particular kinds of capital arranged in the particular way we do today, we can produce enough goods so that everyone consumes enough to survive. It's just a question of financing. Most people at the lower end end up financing the consumption either through personal debt or through imposing negative externalities on society, be it theft, drawing down the resources of friends or family, or soaking up charity dollars that could be more effectively used as capital investment. And personal debt just kicks the externalities toward the future, with the additional option of bankruptcy, which increases lending costs for all borrowers, itself a costly externality.

A basic income makes these externalities legible and puts the finances on the books instead of off of them. In addition it gives psychological security and improves the negotiating power of everyone.
Do you agree with the statement "For a few hundred dollars today, you can buy orders of magnitude more [food] than existed in the entire world [in 1974]"?

I kid, of course - and I'm actually interested in hearing the parent poster's response - but clearly food hasn't fallen in the same way that electronics have.
I was surprised to find that the Chinese norm for airline booking is inordinately more passenger-friendly than the Western norm. Flights are regular, prices are posted and do not change much, and it is very common to book a ticket for same-day or day-before travel. My short stint in the country charged me less for two flights on different domestic carriers booked day-before as the penalty charge for the Delta flight home for changing my ticket to a flight a few hours later.

I love how they end up at 'Well, there's just no way to stop him'. Cost of doing business. Here, the man would be in prison on some invented charge or other.

This is what the US airlines might have looked like if instead of decades of bankruptcies, pension debacles, bailouts, and ruthless competition to lower prices and amenities, we had simply run them as a semi-public service. Either option lowers prices significantly over the early US carriers, one of them is just a lot more humane.

This.

I've been on the fence for years about a few ideas. As time marches on and more risk acrues I feel in an exponential trap of not having the time to make a mistake. In lieu of this I've set myself up to break financial headwind and offer up the position at my, estimated, last opportunity in time (at least for now).

Thanks for the insight. Always appreciate your comments and insight. Although, the credit piece, has to be a royal PitA at times. Luckily I have no issues there at present time.
When a reply is given to my post, something tells me so.
This (rather Randian) model of things is so contrived. Focus on the individual, their achievements, and personal wealth as untouchable property are half-truths, mythology, and contrivances.

The economy is a collective thing. It's a network of people with money, goods, and services flowing between them. Serious wealth is and has always been primarily about one's positioning in the system, and only indirectly about their abilities or value delivered. Yes, presumably ability and achievement often have some influence on that positioning, but it's that mechanical fact of sitting in the thick part of the flow that matters when it comes to making a lot of money. (E.g. I get paid the same pretty much no matter what I do, while my blue-collar friends have to log hours and really work. Yeah, eventually I could potentially lose my job if I really do nothing, but in reality I can get away with doing very little - direct deposit still happens, because that's the system. I am so positioned with respect to the company's payroll system.)

I don't see the problem with making changes at the systemic level to how the flow works (taxes, basic income), as well as making it easier for people to move around (which you addressed, re: education. e.g. returning college to affordability would be truly great).
Svbtle's great for some people and Medium's better in some ways. It's like comparing Blogger with WordPress. The future is in content-centricity and interface-simplicity. Let's appreciate these guys for leading the frontier.

> whether that is through boarding schools and trust funds or the Drug War and a toothless minimum wage.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that the Drug War comes as much from conservatives in the middle class as from rich people (in a "think of the children" way, they want to keep their communities clean and healthy). (Not saying I agree with the Drug War, it's been a disaster so far).

I think your problem is not because you don't have a side job. It's all about how to deal with partnership type of business.

If you don't have external funding, cofounders may choose to bootstrap the company, but you must have written down contracts about how the partnership will go, and register it with city/county or the State of Secretory. If you don't, you may hurt all of you no matter you all have income or even if you are rich. And the partnership cannot last long without such kind of contract and agreement. Some startups failed even before the fund pending because the partners cannot agree on the equity distribution.
Yeah... C's dynamic dispatch can be slow or fast. It's up to you, because you get to write it yourself.
That, and because historically, the ARM instruction set has always been the gold-standard power-efficient 32-bit architecture. Especially in thumb mode.

Open-source software and the extreme efficiency goals of data centers make an interesting alternative to x86 now.
