This is probably completely and utterly wrong as it's just a guess, but potentially the Thumb [1] instructions (small, limited subset of shorter instructions in ARM) might allow for a wider setup. Thumb instructions make a bunch of simplifying assumptions that might remove some of the issues with going wider. Not that I have any idea if Cyclone even supports them in the first place.

Yes, you can. That rule just means that if you declare your team to be from US, then at least 1 person needs to have a US passport.
New Distribution Tech Ushers in `Golden Age of TV’
Unique contributors since open source launch is strange?
The "rich get richer" is not always a given. When the top tax rate was 90% the "rich stay rich". Robert Reich addressed growing income inequality and the virtuous cycle in his recent documentary inequalityforall.com. Taxation, when used effectively, can encourage individuals with low or no marginal propensity to consume to focus on consuming rather than investing or sitting on piles of cash.
I am not concerned in the least about the direction the web is going in right now.

You deride the use of preprocessors and such in other places in this thread, saying that there's a lot of people sinking resources into that, so I have to ask you: do you consider it a hack that you code in Clojure, or Java, or Haskell, or C, instead of coding in assembly? Is it a loss of resources that people are working on compilers for these languages? Is it a hack to code in assembly instead of directly emitting machine code? If the current web stack is the unintended result of a one-night stand between modern C++ and VB6, what is x86-64?

The biggest differences between current web technologies and the above analogies are:
- Stuff built on top of current web technologies hasn't been under development for nearly as long as stuff built on top of machine code.
- The basis here (HTML/CSS/JS) is actually relatively simple for someone who knows nothing about the web to get started with, to build something they can interact with quickly.

The biggest obstacles to using it properly even as a basis to build new tools and abstractions on top of have been, IMO, limitations in CSS (though with absolute positioning even those have been worked around effectively in tools like GWT) and primitive drawing, and flexbox and related developments + canvas have started to clear the most glaring of those issues up.

“You can't fix the latter using any combination of JavaScript, HTML and CSS, no matter how big a number you put after them.”

Big words. I will give you a challenge: come up with an idea, and I posit folks will come up with a way to implement it on top of these “broken models”.

In short, I have no idea how you're reaching the conclusions you're reaching, or what it is that makes what's there now not a “portable assembly language”. But regardless, without presenting clear ideas on what a better path would be, I'm concerned your complaints aren't truly useful—and are also needlessly difficult to understand. Complaints about the stack aren't new. Improvements are—and there are plenty of people making them, albeit layered on top of what's there.
I know we can crawl them. There are no technical issues with crawling them. The issue is I want to respect their TOS. There are multiple ways to circumvent their anti-crawling code but that means any new search engine will have its roots in "shady" tactics of crawling.
IMHO crawling should be allowed if the purpose of the crawler is to show results that drive traffic back to the sites and not mashup the content and deliver it as "original content" on the site that crawled these domains. However e.g. Yelp's TOS do not allow for these types of crawlers that essentially drive traffic back to Yelp.
Check if your iMac defaults to software rendering for some reason.
The emulation question is the main reason -- not the only reason, but the main reason -- I don't see Apple really moving in this direction with the Mac line any time soon. But I don't think it's just a matter of third-party software for OS X that's the issue; Windows compatibility is a pretty big deal. Apple doesn't push Macs as being great Windows machines currently (although they did for a while), but they're certainly aware of this use case and how it's been a minor but measurable plus for the Mac line. Even as much as Apple is known for burning down the old to make way for the new, I think they'd be pretty cautious with this one.

The notion that this CPU is really about giving ample power to the iOS line makes more sense to me. There will eventually be an "iPad Pro," whether or not it gets stuck with that moniker, and it won't have to worry about backward compatibility with anything other than previous iOS devices.
I keep seeing this "meme" - the "Star Trek Eutopia" vs. the massive inequality ("Elysium" being the usual fictional example).

What's interesting is that this argument ignores the "apocalyptic" scenarios I see in other contexts. They typically revolve around increasing scarcity, societal collapse due to depleted resources, etc.

They overlap only in one place; I've seen one "apocalyptic' one that argued the stratification of society means that collapse will occur because the rich/powerful are isolated from feeling the effects of the scarcity until it's too late.

But regardless; we can't have both - one where the earth's resources are depleted, and another where the bounty is so great everyone can enjoy a middle class standard of living, often without economically useful employment.

Technically this is false, as some asm.js compiled games will actually be running their own GC inside the asm.js environment and will still suffer GC pauses - except now it's all single threaded and using a smaller heap so the performance is worse.

Unity is one example of this - they use the Mono runtime and their scripting is based on .NET so browser-targeted Unity games will have GC pauses even if they use asm.js.

I agree, I would love to see more detailed analysis, as well as a fresh, open-minded investigation into the question of what optimal is without very, very large assumptions being made casually. (Perhaps such things exist. Links welcomed.)

Step one is always always always identify the problem. As I said, I'm open to the idea that there is something that should be done here, but it is absolutely vital that we first identify the problem carefully, before we start throwing around solutions to non-problems. This is... or at least SHOULD be... a non-ideological statement. We will all most assuredly disagree about what optimal should be, and what actions we should take, but we should all be arguing from the same basis of facts, and this sort of discussion strongly suggests we are not in the possession of the facts we thought we collectively were (and/or that we were told we were, and/or that we collectively just assumed without examining... I know I didn't ask these questions personally, so this is not intended as an attack on anyone else). This is not something to be glossed over casually on the way to espousing the same ideas we would have anyhow... it's a big problem that should be solved first.

There are no clear rules regarding rights in the code submitted, but the combination of "All content the team provides can be used for marketing purposes without notifying the team by the organizers of Hello World Open 2014." and "Reaktor may change these rules, the contest or its prizes, at any time for any reason without incurring liability to any of the contestants." aren't exactly comforting.

>Are you trying to stengthen my argument? You've just proven that they were doing the very thing I'm arguing is unethical.

No, the point is you are trying to use emotions to determine the "good" guy from the "bad" guy, which is not as black and white as it seems. On the same issue: 4chan.com was created on "12/13/03" where as 4chan.org was created on "2004-02-14". Now you can't say just because 4chan.org is popular, they should be awarded 4chan.com OR that 4chan.org should be transferred to 4chan.com because the name was "copied" from them and is thus "unethical".

>As for Google.io, they DO have a business there... and all over the internet.

No they don't! Having a brand on the internet does not automagically qualify you for legally registered business rights all around the world. Having a universal trademark is hard, time consuming and restricted to local laws.

>This is a "I know it when I see it" standard. It's usually pretty obvious what is squatting and what is not.

Yes this worked out so well which is why our laws are based on vagueness.
Fifty ways to find co-founders
There is a book called "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" currently being discussed in the economics world that examines this phenomenon (wealth, however, not income). The tl;dr is that World War I, The Great Depression, and World War II distorted wealth accumulation, and the world is back on track to straight line wealth capture.

A more detailed analysis: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/29/opinion/capitalism-vs-demo...
Are we in another dot-com bubble?
Lately there have been a number of acquisitions with preposterous valuations (e.g. WhatsApp's $19b procurement).

It seems that anyone with a website and a business name meets the criteria of a company worth purchasing.

All of this leads me to think we are currently in another dot-com bubble.

Are we? When do you think it will burst, if ever?
IIRC Yeah they did, they got back write of "Sintel" back. She and director "Mathieu Auvray" and still churning on the story.

That is true. Best thing to do is start with small changes so that you don't even notice it and all of a sudden, your bank account has more money in it.

Also, which book would you recommend?
Nor does it track what happened to the 1% from 30 years ago and whether they are even the same 1% today.

Until this fact is acknowledged, they have no business even bringing up numbers.

Another possible point of confusion: Maybe the top 1% aren't merely wealthier, maybe the top .1% is more numerous. Wouldn't that be good news?
I like this. I'd think it'd be even better if instead of getting them to stop linking, you could turn them into a permanent source of referrals.
In reality, the biggest risk for routine comsec with pgp is that no one uses it because it's difficult, but the very specific app of code signing is something where keys need a lot of protection IMO. (I am mostly fine with START TLS for email security 99.99% of the time)

The thing which terrifies me is that the npm keybase app asks for my GPG key directly in the same window, and it's impossible for me to (easily) tell when the password prompt is from my GPG binary (which I pretty much trust) vs. the npm binary.

I'm using keybase now (rdl), mostly because I trust Chris Coyne personally, and because my key is old. I'm creating a new 4096 RSA key soon, and will be a lot more paranoid about protecting it -- it will only ever exist on read/use only smartcards after initial generation on a secure machine. (sadly, openpgp card doesn't support export and replication, so to be durable, I have to generate it externally and load onto a bunch of cards and then delete the external key; I'm not willing to trust my keys to a single smartcard I carry with me.)

Using keybase with gpg agent is maybe a bit safer. I don't really mind being forced to do bad stuff by keybase, due to the risks to them if they're caught, as long as it doesn't expose my keying material. gpg agent plus a hardware smartcard should mostly protect me. The pure-software alternative would be a bunch of text-file messages which I can manually cut and paste and move around between clearly-distinct processes running in separate shells/windows (or machines!).

I've been thinking about something a lot better than openpgp card, though, as a secure end-user key management device, with more than just key protections. Unfortunately that means making custom hardware, and that makes little sense in the volumes PGP achieves; maybe if there are other client-side security credentials like ssh or bitcoin, I'd do it.

What you are missing, if we're following the arguments of the initial article, is, why there's 1024, 2048, etc, at all. If "free" is the better distribution model, and that's it, will there be any more 1024, 2048, etc?

(Also, I was just pointing out that the apparent quote didn't match with the intentions of the authors' blog-post.)
Agreed but that alone does not explain all the plot [1]: the slope of all the curves was zero or even slightly negative until 1980. Then the share of the top 0.01% started to climb very significantly.

I don't know what could explain such a change. Were the capital gains taxes prior to 1980 high enough to ensure a strong enough redistribution of the wealth creation so that the shares were almost stable over time? Arguably the maximum capital gains rate has decreased after 1980 [2]. But could that explain everything? Or maybe the rich US residents are getting much better at finding creative ways to evade US taxes nowadays (legally or not)?

"Furthermore, computer science education is probably more important over a student’s lifetime than many of these natural science or mathematics courses.

Oh wait, you’re using a computer right now!"

If you are profiting immensely from the system as it exists (which the 0.1% are) it is.
The existence of that option is utterly insane IMO. I assumed it was some kind of IQ test for users; if they accept the offer, they get deleted. Sadly, that seems not to be the case.
So much simpler if you simply remove 4 people from the 5-person team.
Why? As excess capital accumulates it compounds earning potential by creating more excess capital with new earnings. Given a favourable environment one would expect something greater than straight line growth, right?
Selectively Implementing the Web
I tend to believe that people are paid commensurate to the degree of value they create. Bill Gates, in my opinion, has created much more than 100,000 times the value of what an average American creates. That doesn't mean he is a better human being, just that he has contributed far, far more.
Do you like the fact that you are able to buy any stock you want pretty much whenever you want? And also can sell any stock you want pretty much whenever you want?

That's a service provided to you by market makers. And it's a service for which they get paid.

I like the idea of Keybase.io, but I would prefer to use it in a way in which I don't have to trust them at all. As it stands, you need to install their command-line tool and have it directly manage your GPG keychain. For that, I'd prefer to have a platform-neutral tool that's been independently audited and managed by my OS's package manager rather than their keybase-installer tool which seems to want to update very frequently with who-knows-what changes.
They said they'd be back by today, so I'm assuming 5pm or so. I haven't heard back either yet.

I don't think anyone has ever doubted Samsung's ability to make a stellar display (or any other component).

What anyone has doubted has been Samsung's ability to take these displays and components and integrate them into a whole that doesn't look and feel like cheap plasticky junk that is less than the sum of its parts.

Samsung has yet to give us reason to stop doubting that.

Of course it clearly hasn't stopped the world's population from snapping them up...
Here's a wasteful comment as my test...I might delete it. If you see this can you add a reply. Only if not already done. Thanks.
you are right. I don't want to make a better search engine than Google's. I do want to provide more personalized results than Google's. To do that I need to give my users a basic result set and then take input from their behavior to provide a more personalized experience. I do want to be able to search over a limited set of domains without hitting a 10000 req/day limit.

I typed "sushi" on duckduckgo.com and saw a result from Yelp. If duckduckgo.com used Yelp's API to get that result then you can imagine the complexity of maintaining API connections to hundreds of services like Yelp that do not allow crawling. However if duckduckgo.com crawled/scraped Yelp to get that result then that's against Yelp's TOS which would cause Yelp to send a cease and desist order to duckduckgo.com.

IMHO any crawler that drives traffic back to the original site (like Google, Bing, duckduckgo, etc) should be allowed to crawl the site but Yelp's TOS prevents that.
Your inference was incorrect. I said my job was to keep our sales reps from making false promises, which includes (but is not limited to) bending the truth, lying by omission, making incorrect assertions, etc.

My industry is highly mobile and quite competitive so we don't gain anything by stretching truths. Customers can leave as quickly as they come, and since we're a small shop we use a consultative sales approach to ensure customers will be happy long-term.

Again, the solution is more complex than "just tell the truth." Tell the truth in a positive way, offer viable alternatives, and re-emphasize what matters. We're selling to humans, not Vulcans.

Maybe not cryptographically, but it is definitely news and looks relevant for practical security engineering: they demonstate that the RSA BSAFE implementation in C was especially easy to be attacked compared to the other implementations: in seconds vs in hours, even without the newsworthy "extended_random_value."
I read the icon to mean 29% of data loss is caused by human error, as opposed to hardware failure, etc. How that's measured, I have no idea (the citation is "Safeware, 2001" for what it's worth).

Doom (or Doom 2 which had basically the same engine with just bugfixes and support for Doom 2 entities) didn't actually need an FPU. Even 386DX's or 486SX's had no FPU so no games from the pre-1995 era really depended on it.

I remember Falcon 3.0 and perhaps some other simulation games having support for FPU for those few who had one however...
