The computation of the physics simulation (applying forces between nodes, ending once it finds a local minimum) is an intensive process. You could do it all at once but it would probably hang your page for a meaningful time. You could also reduce the framerate or only show the results at the first an final frames, but those also have user interface implications.
Google doesn't pay content providers from whom they take copyrighted IP (my own photographs for one example), those of us who make the results of others peoples' searches possible.

Let's see, Google purloins content, putatively in exchange for information provided to you at no cost as search results. But that doesn't account for where they get that information to populate their search returns in the first place. They're taking information from, or about, one person and giving it away for free without permission to zillions of others and, then, collecting billions of dollars from advertisers for the this "service." The net result is to compromises everyone's privacy.

I would much rather pay a micro fee every time I used Google to search; or be compensated for the data I provide, if it satisfies the results of someone else's search.
As a non-accountant, why? Doesn't this mean a single infusion of five days worth of transfers and then back to a transfer-a-day coming into the account?

Larry Page gets questioned about it occasionally on their earnings calls. (not in a completely negative way; just on when the projects will pay off, etc.)

It depends on the shareholder, really. Most of the big fish are not interested in holding Google stock for 10 - 20 years waiting for these initiatives to pay off. They operate on annual bonuses, whereas Google X invests in projects that will take more than 1 year to pay off.
Wait. Isn't this a problem with motels and other temporary housing situations as well? What makes Airbnb so special?
They seem to be coming up with great work there. Unfortunately, thousands of neuroscientists who have been sharing huge funds the past decade couldn't come up with a big project like this one, it had to take private initiative to map a mouse. To me this shows how badly allocated funding sets the bar too low for most neuroscience teams.

And for those who say that this is not a big deal, it actually is a very big deal. Not only for the connection map of the brain, which may or may not lead to simulating a brain (we are far from that yet), but because we can analyze the distributions of connections and their weights to infer possible functional roles.
Likely not. For the past year direct disclosure would be a god send for the NSA and US Gov's reputation. So I doubt it.

I am not sure, but after looking at their sites they probably mean images. So, a synapse in a let's say high resolution jpeg will need much more memory than my abstract definition of a synapse.
This data somewhat contradicts that however, as it says unequal shares are correlated with higher initial funding valuations (obviously that's not a perfect metric)

I'd really like to see the data which suggests equal shares lead to better success outcomes (maybe YC has this?).
This is true of almost all terminal degrees today. Higher education is such a corrupt industry, feeding those at the top of the pyramid by making promises to prospective students they are fully aware are unrealistic.

This is an interesting variation on the sidecar concept. It makes sense to look for ways to leverage the efforts of skilled angel/pre-seed investors.

These high-skill investors often add significant value through mentoring, introductions, and so on. Anything that encourages that and gives them more ability to do that is a very good thing in my view.
They can see all of the packets in both directions. Which mean they could tell when more was coming out than being relayed in.
They don't teach you that in "MBA class" because it isn't true. Equity allocation and executive authority are mostly orthogonal concerns. Smart teams of equal cofounders manage to pick leaders all the time. Controversial decisions at early-stage companies don't get decided based on equity; by the time the equity card gets played, your company is dead anyways.

Your calculator appears to, among other things, allocate equity based on who paid for business cards.

I don't think anyone's done a better job of explaining how to handle equity than Joel Spolsky. Here's his answer to this question:

I think there is a huge possibility of a methodologial hole here. If older players play better with less pure technical brilliance, this could also be because they have realized that reflexes are less important - and hence spend less time training their reflexes and more on higher-level strategy. Skills are perishable, so this in itself doesn't demonstrate that motor skills deteriorate with age.

I'm reminded of the cliché of the 17-year old guitar player who equates high tempo with good music. A similar study could reach the exact same conclusion in this ield.
According to Paul Mutton, a security consultant at the Web services company Netcraft. Checking a site’s identity will take vastly longer.

“If a certificate authority has to revoke 10,000 certificates, that entry will have 10,000 certificates on it,” Mutton said. “And if browsers have to download that . . . we’re talking hundreds of megabytes.”

It’s roughly the equivalent of having to download 30 minutes’ worth of standard-definition video just to view a single Web page.

"Starcraft is like high-speed chess."

Ok, but what's really like high-speed chess is... speed chess, played with a chess clock. Five minute chess, three minute chess and even one minute chess, those are all like high-speed chess.
Real time strategy games like starcraft are stupid because of the wasted cycles. The game can grow too complex for even a high capacity sub 24 year old easily. I'd rather program my harvester, grunt, [choose your metaphor] than micromanage them or let real people control them.

It did cross my mind that perhaps they should consider longer carbon nanotubes as a Google X project rather than waiting on someone else to do it for them. I imagine there are plenty of areas other than space elevators where they would be useful.
>That's a perfectly legal optimization. The integer here isn't atomic and if another thread modifies the variable, that would be a data race and those have undefined behavior. Therefore, the compiler can assume that there is no race and move the comparison out of the loop.

In this case, the data race is fairly minimal, since we're talking about a 4 byte integer being used as a boolean flag. Operations like x = 1 for 4 byte ints are pretty much guaranteed to be atomic with x86, and worst case, you go through 1 more iteration of your loop than you would have otherwise(which your code should account for at any rate with locking for critical sections). Any change to the int should cause the while loop to exit.

It should be a volatile(C pre C11) or atomic(C++11/C11) integer if you're passing it between threads, though.
How is this any different from compiling C to assembly? Why would higher level languages create unsynthesizable circuits? You trust the C compiler to create the proper instructions for your target architecture then I don't see why the same can't be done with a Haskell DSL that compiles to Verilog.
Charging via USB adds extra complexity and there is nothing wrong with the existing system, so I don't think it will have as much adoption as you predict. OEMs rely on manufacturers like TI to provide ICs and reference designs, and for the moment it doesn't look like there's a highly-integrated solution for USB-PD.

You can target canvas with d3, but you loose much of the abstraction that makes d3 powerful. For example, look at all of the low-level canvas rendering code that is used. Not as powerful as visualizations driven by chaining .data().enter().append().attr() which can easily be re-shaped by swapping html tags and CSS attributes.

d3 really is a three-legged stool of HTML, JS and CSS. When targeting <canvas>, you loose both HTML and CSS and thus much of the power.

EDIT: I should clarify that I'm thinking of HTML in an abstract sense that also includes SVG. By hooking into the DOM, d3 gets a free scenegraph that makes it easy to modify the components of the visualization without writing low-level code.
Because Airbnb is used to rent out rooms or houses that aren't in areas zoned for hotel/motel purposes. No one can reasonably expect that living in a motel room and living in an apartment are similar. The other tenants in the building of the Airbnb user can be reasonably expected not to have to deal with tourists being discourteous or annoying in their building.
I see no reason not to you the original title of the article, which is "Software engineers think they're amazingly great, study says.."

However, the article is a bunch of BS. They only interviewed 1000 people, and they didn't say where that 1000 people came from. If they spoke to 1000 engineers in SF, I suspect, yes, they are likely taking people who work at software companies where the company wouldn't exist without them. Talk to 1000 engineers in NYC, and you would probably get a different result.

In the end, we can't deny the fact that a huge volume of business today is reliant on technology, and that technology, even if it is hardware, runs software. I don't think this is a case of the farmer taking credit for the success of a great chef, this is more an example of a chef having great influence over a restaurateur.

Unequal splits are an invitation to resentment and the degraded communication and problem solving that comes with resentment. If you've done a bunch of startups, you've probably had the experience of having a harrowing argument with cofounders, and the realization of how easily your company can disintegrate based on nothing more than silly interpersonal conflicts. Some people, myself included, take from this the lesson that you should rig your startup to minimize these issues as much as possible.

Another reason to avoid unequal splits is that they often presume you can see into the future. Who's to say that whatever you did to "earn" an extra 10% of the company isn't going to be more than offset by something your cofounder does later?
I like the approach you took to writing this post. This wasn't the typical attempt to summarize an entire programming language in a page (which IMO is done too often, too poorly), but rather an exploration. As you went through each section, I could see how you were approaching various problems and learned a lot about Racket in the process. I would love to see more of this style of post.
Your third reference spends most of its time supporting Michael's point, in much the same language.

"In fact, Mr. Simonton found that mathematicians make their best research contributions (which he defined as the ones mentioned most often by historians and biographers in reference books) at what many might consider doddering old age: 38.8. That age is very similar to those he found in other sciences: 40.5 in biology, 38.2 in physics, and 38.0 in chemistry."

two questions for someone more familiar with this area:

1. what are the immediate applications of having such a dataset? either for the mouse or the brain?

2. once we have the map, will we also have the technology to identify precisely what neurons are lighting up and how information is travelling during certain actions / responses? in short how far are we from a green / yellow / red Google Maps style traffic map for the brain?

In the same way that being able to cook dinner doesn't make me a chef, while it's true that a developer can be a sysadmin, QA or DBA, they won't do a very good job.

To suggest otherwise shows a complete lack of understanding of the nuance of those roles.

As for suggesting that "DevOps" is killing the developer - the only thing "DevOps" is doing is polluting our common language with a term that doesn't actually mean anything concrete. It's perfect consultant speak.
Choosing your best-friend isn't a guarantee that you won't have co-founder issues either. One of you has to be the CEO, and if you are both used to being equals, the one who isn't CEO has to deal with the fact that their role is less than the CEO.

There will be times where the demands for your time will be greater than theirs, and vice versa, and if one of you is strongly technical, while the other isn't, you may see an imbalance of work, especially when you're building your MVP.

Business & startups in particular, come with an enormous amount of stress, and may put you two at odds with each other, which can be tough, as the two of you, under different circumstances, might have been each others coping mechanism.
The point is that any inconvenience to neighbours from such a 'brothel' is hypothetical - nobody even noticed that it was there, so they definitely weren't harmed in any way.

Why exactly must the government pay for it? It seems obvious if it's a net cost it really should be paid for by the students.

Also, if you could go to med school without an undergraduate degree you can increase the number of years a doctor could work thus lowering costs and increasing supply at the same time.
Cool site, I hadn't seen it before, but the autoplay on hover with the sound on is atrocious. The sound quality in the videos just isn't good enough, so I get a horrible hissing sound coming out of my speakers as I try to view your page. It was bad enough that I closed the window without really giving you a good look because it was so horrible. Sure I could have muted my speakers, but that shouldn't be your defence for offending visitors.
This is how most businesses have been funded for the past 30+ years AFAIK. Merchant account transactions are batched and settled nightly, then ACH'd to the merchant the next day. You get the money 1-3 banking days after charging someone. Stripe was the exception to the norm, and now they're doing what everyone else does. Holding onto your money before transferring it to you is something other merchant account providers only do on a case-by-case basis for accounts they consider at high risk for fraud.
Like its artificial neural net cousins, I feel like black-box approaches are generally weak for studying intelligence. Programming a complex model is relatively simple, given decades of neurobiological research. But running this brain, absent a physical embodiment or model simplifications, offers few lessons about the nature, structure, and form of intelligence.

The purpose of a brain is to control homeostasis, motor, and perception functionality. Without a rich world simulation, the brain is just an isolated processor. By modelling at the neuron level, the only inputs can be at the neuron level. That means you have to physically model the entire mouse's body to connect all the inputs.

Even if you had a realistic body simulation, you also need to run the system for an extended period of time. Intelligence is an emergent behavior, and it needs time to work and learn. Since you have to model every single neuron firing at the same time, the speed at which you can run this model is unreasonably slow.

I feel like approaches which slowly build a system of models, each of which simplifies the function of a particular neural region to something computationally tractable is the more realistic approach. In doing so, you develop models which reveal the structure of intelligence.

I wanted to donate to my favourite private tracker recently. They only take bitcoin. So I thought no worries, I'll sign up to coinbase. They were the suggested easy-to-sign-up-to way to get bitcoins. (I don't know about wallets or mining, I'm just your average Internet joe)

They wanted copies of my passport and drivers license.

I laughed and closed my newly created account.

Until the process of being able to get bitcoins is simple and easy, expecting people to part with them for donations is unrealistic in my opinion.

First Solar BMS charger for any Lithium battery
> and there is nothing wrong with the existing system

Yes, there is: it causes massive electronic waste because of incompatible chargers. Expect the new EU regulation that covers phones etc. (that replaced "voluntary" measures) to be expanded to cover laptops too, or at least for manufacturers to get threatened with changes to th regulation, if manufacturers don't voluntarily switch to USB once suitable chargers start being widely available.
It's a common belief - especially on the internet - that whatever the unfettered free market decides (or would decide) is good and correct. You may believe this, and you may even take it as axiomatic, but you should be aware that very many people disagree, and will reject any argument with this as its foundation.
But have you revoked your old primary keys? Everybody that was vulnerable to Heartbleed should revoke their old primary keys so that web browsers no longer trust those potentially stolen keys. If they are not revoked and a Bad Guy stole your primary key(s), they can create a fake web site that identifies itself as your web site and all web browsers would trust it as legitimate, complete with the little green "you can trust me" padlock.

The CloudFlare challenge proved that the primary keys could be stolen.

There were millions of vulnerable sites (the internet is approaching a billion total web sites, and a significant number of them were vulnerable). The revocation list method used by browsers does not scale well with those kinds of numbers.
