Firefox 29 Arrives with Customization Mode, New Design
The issue comes up somewhere like a townhouse complex. Maps does not contain detailed data on assigned parking spaces and the like for these areas.

This is not an issue if everyone is using self-driving cars. But when only some people are, I don't see how you'd avoid the need for cars to take over in these instances.

Same with street driving really, you already have self-parking cars, but the car would need to be able to not only determine where the parking spaces are (and deal with issues like faded parking lines) but also determine whether or not there are any laws restricting the use of that space -- not only handicapped spaces, but also time of day and week.

Again, not an issue when everyone is in self-driving cars because most of these rules seem designed to optimize traffic flow, but until that point (and maybe for a time after) these laws will remain in affect.
When I went to college, we could use our ID cards to pay for printing, meals in the student union, etc. If MIT did something similar and accepted "Mitcoins" for transactions done on campus, they would give the currency an inherrent value.
Anyone know if new MB AIRS still make a ton of noise with their fans? (BTW ton = any noise) I have a 15" MB Pro and love the fact that it's dead silent, unless I'm rendering video in Adobe Premiere or After Effects.

I'd like to get an 11" form factor for all my pogramming stuff, and migrate the 15" into some form of desktop computer.

Edit: Probably what I'm looking for in a non-existant 11" MB Pro.
Sorta like how Verizon tries to block tethering on grandfather plans. If you are rooted its not a problem. But I never understood it if you are paying for it why have to go through these tricks. What needs to happen is all the money that these mobile networks are raking in they need to invest it in a better infrastructure, its only going to get worse.
Boo. That registration gate can go right away.
Ah, possibly. I guess I'm too used to the rampant comment-scorn about everything to spot jokes reliably.
I never noticed it was there before this. I can't think of a scenario where I would get to that feature by that route, but i don't know everything about how people use LastPass. The pink and blue, with the bobbed hair for the pink guy, is a little anachronistically old fashioned.

Some solutions:

- remove the icon, or replace it with the LastPass splat icon.

- remove the menu entry (if people would normally get to those features in other ways).

- If the icon is for a feature that really is best identified by association with the idea of "people" (I'm not convinced), then change it to a blue or grey single person without identifiable hair or clothes; a stick figure with thick sticks.
Per post, yes.

If you often split the bill on anything Rent/Utilities/Drinks/etc you should check out Splitwise [0]. They have a Web/iOS/Android apps and it has been a life saver. I've used it for a little over a year now and it makes all expenses a breeze. It keeps track of who owes who what and can (when enabled) even simplify the debts so if person A owes $10 to person B and person B owes $10 to person C then Splitwise will report that person A owes person C $10.

Note: I have no affiliation with Splitwise, I just love the product.

I've checked & CyanogenMod 11M5 on my Nexus 4 doesn't appear to be doing this - if I turn on tethering over bluetooth there's no extra route in the routing table.

However, my current carrier allows me to tether the data I pay for, so perhaps it only does it in response to some kind of carrier request to split the data into tethered / non-tethered classes?
It's a literal quote of a part of the comment, I simply don't understand how iOS could be a carrier in any context.
iOS, Blackberry OS, and Windows Phone all honor carrier tethering flags -- if your carrier says "don't tether", the device will not legitimately tether.

We know that. It has been the case for time eternal.

We also know that carriers have long been able to detect tethering through deep packet inspection : People have been forced into upgrades, or have discovered surprising bonuses on their bill, when they tethered in defiance of that flag (whether through Android, or one of the hack tethering apps available on the other OS').

There is nothing new about this.
Is this really "google" considering it so? The poster identifies themselves as working for a carrier, not google.
MH370: GeoResonance says "wreckage of a commercial airliner" found
The algorithm is likely to ask anyone to choose a favoured room from an equal split, so in theory the algorithm won't work if someone has a smaller-than-equality budget.

The algorithm depends on everyone having a personal way of splitting the cost of the house so that they would be equally happy with any room. If you are only willing to spend less-than-equality on a particular room, you should be prepared to spend more-than-equality on another room to compensate.

Someone without that possibility might get a result incompatible with their needs or might be taken advantage of by a knowledgeable enemy player, I would think.

So in theory, no, this method won't work perfectly. But in practice, yes, you might still get a decent result.

This algorithm is good for cake-cutting, since everyone likes to receive cake, but less good for rent-splitting, since not everyone likes to pay rent.
Although the carrier can still block tethering regardless of whether the device purports to let you use it.
Can I just get a link to the demo please? There's no reason I should have to watch a youtube video in order to see a javascript demo.

clearly not everything is trying to get me. and, i wouldn't bother if it was. i'm confident that i can handle myself. you comment speaks exactly to my point though. the icon is supposed to show two different USERS. not a man and a woman. and that you think that the icon is the best way to show the difference between a man and a woman is also to the point. maybe the starkest differences between a male and a female are not color or clothes. but, that IS the way many think. i think there is a problem with perpetuating that.
Do you see this being analogous to where systems testing versus unit testing are most appropriate?
No, you misinterpret. "Your wife, who is not employed by the company, cannot keep coming to our headquarters and using it / setting up a de facto office, let alone harassing employees to do pro bono work for her startup." Not "your spouse cannot be employed here".

Yes, these are a generalization of "I split, you choose" to more general cases. It is a way of getting an envy-free distribution. It is often called the cake cutting problem. There are some interesting books on the topic...

When I moved house last year, we didn't have broadband at home for a few weeks. Coincidentally I got a new phone on Vodafone (on contract - S3 Mini on £21/mo plan), with three months' unlimited data. I tethered the shit out of it, including work-from-home; many gigabytes downloaded. Not a squeak from Vodafone. So YMMV.

I'm a guy, the guy icon is blue, I don't care. It could have been pink. Our society sees boys in blue and girls in pink.

Does it mean I can't wear pink ? no

Do I care about this specific design ? no, it adds some nice colors to the app. If it was red and yellow it wouldn't make sense.

So to get decent graphics performance on the Web you now have to program in OpenGL? How many "web developers" can write OpenGL?

On a related note, if you create your whole app in WebGL, you then lose all the benefits that HTML/JS/CSS brings, like simple user input.

Finally, WebGL is not even available to the general public yet. As far as I know, it's still behind feature flags on almost all browsers.

Have any major browsers removed the WebGL feature flag? If so, it's very recent.

WebGL is very cool, but it's still depressing that web devs have to program in GL to get decent graphics performance.
I guess part of the problem of that is that companies who might want to advertise on someones site might, not unreasonably, want the kind of stats and control set the hosting website just can't provide, but that a third party advertising company can.

I personally don't mind a certain level of information about my browsing being a bit leaky. I feel like it's a reasonable compromise to make for serving up content I want. Flagrant invasions of privacy are not ok, but I am more concerned with third parties serving malicious content through ads; Something I've seen enough to make me use an ad blocker by default.
As I'm getting close to the magic age of 30, the ultimate dream and goal for me right now is running my own business - not to get rich, but to be free and independent, to feel that I have accomplished something more that working for others, to create something on my own. It may change world, it may not - doesn't matter, it's yours and always will be yours. Sure, it may require more work, it may be more stressful - but I choose this over being a tiny cog in another's men machine for the next 10 or 20 years as my life is running through the hands.

I have 11 years in the industry in various jobs. I was very good in the algorithms and data structures part of my course when I studied it, but the frequency that I actually get to use any of that stuff is maybe a couple of weeks per year.

I would say that learning libraries and how to use them will be far more use, as most common problems have been solved, implemented, put in a library and tested for you. A good programmer will use that library rather than reinvent the wheel.
Do you have references about the deterrence aspect or the relative usefulness? Are these public beliefs or scientific analyses or projections?

The UK seems to have some odd relation to crime. Ubiquitous surveillance and fencing of just about anything (schools etc.) seem to hint that crime is believed to be everywhere or expected, daily TV broadcasts of police-vs-crime shows seem to indicate or enforce a public (morbid?) fascination for it. Perhaps it's a belief thing (similar to religions?) where one feels the need to feed oneself cues that one belongs to the positive part of society and not to the criminals so as not to feel bad? I don't know whether I'm understanding things right, but I'm also not confident that in such a setting public opinion about these matters represents truth.

The first answer is kind of labourous, isn't?

I thought about simply removing a sock from the pile and isolating it. One for one, maybe puting the man's socks on the left and the women's on the right.

So everytime you grab a new sock you can quickly check if you already isolated the pair of that one.

This way you just have to grab each sock once. (this is similar to the second answer, but no need to prepare a flat pile to begin with).

For beginners, easy programming challenges are very practical, since they let them practice getting their loops and conditions right.

Sure, my T-Mobile plan has "unlimited" data usage on my phone, but only 5G/month tethering. I can track my usage separately through their website.

Tethering is a standard feature for them now, but they used to require an add on and would track down people tethering without it. (AFAIK it was as simple as searching for desktop user agents)
Interesting idea - people don't think about the real value of quick turnaround times in the same way they think of spending the developer hours to move faster.
> Those are not the only two choices.

absolutely, and I'm grateful to see people experimenting with different models for making money, but as it stands the most reasonable way for websites to make money is, probably in order of effectiveness:

1) advertising

2) charging for content

3) freemium, ie free content with paid extas

4) sponsorship

5) ???

generally when I talk about websites serving advertising, I'm speaking specifically about news/media websites. The cost of producing news is substantial, so earnings have to be commensurate. Either you charge people for it, or you give it away for free with advertising, and perhaps have added value services.
> Exactly the problem. The benefit is invisible to (most) endusers, so in Mozilla logic, it doesn't exist for the user.

What is the benefit in using RSA with the sync protocol? What sort of experience do you have in the design of cryptographic protocols to comment on this? Or are you grasping at whatever random reasons you can find to take a shit on the Firefox developers?

If you're interested in the reasons why asymmetric crypto was dropped, they are here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Sync/SimplifiedCryptoPropo...

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Sync/SimplifyCrypto

TL;DR: There simply was no reason to use RSA. A faster and simpler protocol that is just as secure could be built without it.
Chrome came out and lots of people started using it because it was faster than Firefox and because Google spammed it all over their search engine. Chrome is developed by an ad company. Chrome exists in order to create a web which can serve ads to you in a manner which is more profitable to that ad company.

That's fair enough. Chrome users sow what they reap. If they want a web which develops under the control of an ad company, or several ad companies (Microsoft too), then that's what they'll get.

The trouble is, it affects the rest of us who don't want a web to evolve according to the profit interests of ad companies; Mozilla got scared by the sudden migration of people from Firefox to Chrome, so they've now started copying Chrome in many ways that probably aren't as good as they think they are for the future of the web.

250W TDP in a package that size.. as the article correctly states, it's about how many FLOPs you can get inside a rackmount case. that TDP alone is going to mean that you wont be able to put that many in a single case.

a dual socket board, 500W on CPUs, 600W with everything else.. the power supply would have to be something special, but the biggest challenge there would be getting the energy (ala heat) back out of the box..

GPUs have similar TDPs and issues - that's why the HSFs on top of them are so massive (and hence GPUs have a bit of an advantage here - they have the entire PCIE board to fit their cooling hardware on)

finally, 4.5ghz? what the hell? in one clock cycle, a beam of light wouldn't even get half way across the board (EDIT: not chip). branch/cache/TLB misses may literally kill any reasonable performance you might hope to get out of it. intel get around this by having years of market leading research in branch predictors, caching models, etc. and it's going to be no mean feat to match that.

i know IBM aren't exactly new to this game. but AFAIK x86 has always been faster, clock for clock, than POWER.

that said, i hope my concerns are misplaced. i'm hoping intel get some competition in the server room. it will be of benefit to everyone.

Speaking as someone who works for a newspaper, comments like this make me very uncomfortable. News websites don't make money off of the generosity of viewers. They make money off of advertising. Until the majority of people are willing to go behind a paywall to see content, news organizations must rely on advertising for survival. Not profit, survival.

I personally don't use ad blockers for this reason. I like supporting sites I visit, even if I hate the ads showing there.
