That makes sense (can't read Chris's comment right now because I'm behind the GFW). Immediate mode is quite workable and can even be efficient with the appropriate amount of memoization. State can even be injected in a way that is very FRP like (re-render over values that changed). Seems like I have more related work to talk about :)

Its doubtful that the deals would automatically transfer over to the acquirer. Would have to be re-negotiated
> if they wanted a music subscription service, they could easily create one of their own.

Actually, they have one. (iTunes Radio)

Of course, the fact that this has to be pointed out to someone arguing how strong Apple's brand is relative to Beats might illustrate the value they get from buying Beats better than anything else.
I don't like the 5% problem people that Mythbusters added to the mix. Boarding back to front is sensitive to morons, and they literally and arbitrarily guaranteed that 1 out of 20 people would delay the line, causing everyone to have to wait. If they did it at an even increment, that would be the worst situation possible for back-to-fronters.

Couldn't you just integrate over all possible distributions of that 5% (assuming that number came from somewhere) in the line? Seems like this problem could be easily attacked with math instead of experiment.
No it isn't, well not in the US anyway.

You can buy a board from Ettus Research and write your own baseband software. The trick is that you need a license to operate a radio at those frequencies, if you buy a phone you get to tag along on the phone company's license because they have made sure that you can't do anything that they didn't show the FCC they could do. If you have an Ettus board and you want to run a base station or an edge device you need to get a license from the FCC to use it.

Strictly speaking, the phone company could have an "open source"[0] baseband stack and they would need to provide some way for the phone to know that it is running the approved version. And that is where it gets tricky, how do you do that? You could provide some sort of EFI type signature on the baseband bits that proved they were the right bits, and you could provide instructions on how to compile to exactly those bits, and while that would help folks understand what could and could not be done with the firmware it wouldn't help them fix problems. And of course people would scour it for vulnerabilities. So we're left with the current situation.

If you're interested in playing around with radio stuff though it is pretty straight forward to get an amateur operators license and a Gnu radio kit and start exploring.

[0] -- Not 'freely licensed' so much as 'you can read the source code, and it is compilable from source'.
Read the article you referenced. In a floorplanning agreement, the franchise owners have 100% purchased the inventory and are on the hook for selling the inventory. The purchase money is financed with loans using the inventory as collateral. The dealer fully owns the inventory and (in the absence of side agreements or regulations) assumes all of the liquidity risk.

In particular, if a local franchise owner sees the manufacturer opening up its own store down the road, the franchise owner can't (in the absence of side agreements) tell the manufacturer to take back the cars because they want out of the business.
Aha! That explains why the corporate proxy blocked it as a "Botnet/Malicious outbound"

Thanks.
It's a good thing they put quotes around 'alien' otherwise I wouldn't have been tempted to click on it.
They doubtless want cachet that resonates with their target market. Ergo Sennheiser probably isn't a great choice.

As for Bose, they probably wouldn't be a bad choice, but they do a lot more than headphones and their market cap is $20B, quite a bit more than the $3B we are being told for Beats.
Some are speculating that Apple is more interested in the beats music streaming service. I'm not sure I buy that -- doesn't Apple nearly have its own? Even if they don't, surely they've got the foundation set to build one quite effortlessly.
"The Chinese government also makes it difficult ..."

The biggest internet companies like Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu are mostly foreign owned and initially funded by foreign venture capital. The real difference is that they are operated by Chinese nationals who don't have a Western headquarter to report to. McDonalds, KFC, Starbucks etc., on the other hand, succeeded probably because they didn't have to face a fast evolving market and could adapt their business models to China at their own pace.
“back-to-front”—the chosen boarding process of most U.S. carriers

Nobody boards back to front. First class boards first. Then frequent flyers, who typically get the seats toward the front of the aircraft. Then there's some semi-random zone thing whereby big hold-ups occur waiting for people in the front and middle of the plane to put their bags in the overheads.

If airplanes got rid of the overhead bins and really did load the planes back to front, boarding would go a lot faster.
I assume this is like pop-up blocking. You need to be able to open app store links some times (to get to the store to buy something), but you shouldn't be pushed there. But just like pop-ups, there is a big incentive for scummy advertisers to find ways around it.

I've reported this kind of thing to better websites (ones I knew/trusted) when it happened and they fixed it. I don't know if this site is fine with this or is just the victim of a terrible ad network.

as a general rule, people who make fear-driven decisions do not start companies. it's the wrong personality type for a variety of reasons.

see above: plant a garden on my deck --> city will demolish my deck because of a pre-existing code violation --> better not do that.

that is a fear-driven decision. the mind of an entrepreneur works more like this:

i want to plant a garden --> do the research --> implement solution --> have confidence to deal with repercussions because you can --> do the research --> implement solution --> etc.

the problem with having a personality that is afraid of imaginary problems is the domain of potential problems is massive, infinite even. good luck getting anything done if you're afraid of imaginary problems.
A good code of ethics includes aspects that require more context and incite more thinking. Maybe this particular rule is designed to make you ponder what you believe humanism is, and are you making decisions in accordance to it.

Why Beats Music Matters
As I see it it's not for the hardware, but for the streaming service and for Jimmy Iovine and his connections/knowledge in the music industry. I don't know how he could fit with Eddy Cue but I think Jimmy Iovine would bring a lot if he was in charge of the music services in iTunes.

Valve has stated they want to bring the community closer together for buying/selling/trading of goods. I would expect they would make their money that way.

I doubt they would dump DirectX completely. They've reworked the engine for linux to not care if it's running DirectX or OpenGL. Leaving this intact could provide a way to eventually port to Android/iOS and other mobile platforms? Valve has stated they want to get into the mobile space but have seemed to fail thus far. I recall them mentioning Linux was a natural step to go from Win Desktop -> Mac -> Linux to Mobile running Linux (Android)
So where does that leave HTC? They own 50.1% stake. They need cash pretty quickly. And I think they would continue to want implementing Beats audio in their phones.

Btw, HTC One audio sound quality is emotionally exhilarating. (Tears)

What team were you on? It looks like you had an awesome time! I'm interning at Facebook Seattle next Fall, and I'm trying to figure out which team(s) to try to join.
I've implemented a brute-force search with an exponential algorithm, in a context where the user would want instant results. Basically, I implemented a bipartite graph producing algorithm that took the "obvious, low hanging fruit" first, and only worked for a set amount of time. This produced a "sloppy matching" tool that did most of the user's busy work for matching natural gas coming from "upstream" and going to points "downstream." Then the user could eyeball a few optimizations and put those in by hand.

I've also implemented a "web search" that was just a complete scan through a text file. But this was back in 1997, and the amount of data we had didn't justify anything more complicated.

I didn't mean to convey an opinion on legalization, just to give a flavor of how laws get made. If asked, I'd say check the states that allow midwifes from one of the national accreditors and see how it's going. If it isn't a flaming train wreck then give it a go. (There is an underground midwife trade in the state. I know people who have had assisted home births. It does put the midwife in an awful legal position if something goes wrong.)
Chinadaily? They are quite serious, but not very professional.

It would take only "2 days" to get to the US via this train, and the Russians would have to cooperate of course. Heck, we don't even have a train from Alaska to Seattle yet.

It might make sense for freight, in which case "high speed" is not really necessary (well, it does help increase bandwidth). But for people? It will still be cheaper and fast to fly...maybe even more efficient considering that planes can fly in straight lines, mostly.

Bose is a damn bad example as a premium brand to compare Beats to. Their consumer headphones are widely considered to be way overpriced and gimmicky. The brands Beats should really be compared to are Sennheiser, Shure, A-T, Denon, Beyerdynamic and the like. Any offerings from these brands at a price point from $100 and up offer at least as good sound quality as Beats' cans and for a much lower price, and many of their phones look pretty good as well.
This is not a misconfiguration, it is actually better to use a self signed certificate if you want to ensure authenticity even in the face of world power adversaries.

I had this sort of moment, and it's pushing me to want to learn to build real things. Things I can hold.

I'm graduating from college and for my senior design project we can do almost anything. One of my professors asked me and a few of my friends to build a guitar-strummer for kids with severe cerebral palsy at a nearby school. We're all bioengineers, and I study CS. We had never built anything more complicated than a Lego.

After a few months, here's what we came up with:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Musex/

It's pretty janky and it's something a mechanical engineer could whip up in a week or two. But we learned a TON building it. There's so much I don't know. I like building things on the computer because there's near-zero marginal cost and you can always start right away. Having to think through a real design and order/build parts really shed some light on getting things done beyond a mouse and keyboard.

TL;DR - Go build something. It's very empowering.
I don't know, I haven't had an emergency yet. I live in an urban area, so if I did have an emergency, there would be no shortage of phones around me that I could use. If I were to go out to the wilderness, I might bring a flare or something, but I'm not a big outdoorsman.
> A good code of ethics includes aspects that require more context and incite more thinking.

I agree that a good code of ethics could be that way. But I think that's less true if the code of ethics is coupled with a system of punishment. In a system where violations are punished, I think it's desirable for the rules to be as objective as possible. Otherwise, you risk arbitrary application and/or abuse of the rules. Further, well-meaning people should be able to read the rules, understand what is and is not permitted, and tailor their behavior accordingly. They should not have to worry that they will later be punished for breaking a rule they thought they were following.

I feel that what most people actually mean when they say "compiled" vs. "interpreted" is whether or not the language specification has additional static checking beyond what is required by parsing. Essentially it is whether the language defers all errors to run-time or attempts to detect classes of them at compile-time. A language like JavaScript accepts as a program any string that parses, while a language like Java rejects many strings based on additional checks such as type rules. You can add static type-checking to JavaScript or Python, but it isn't part of the language spec. You can run C++ or Java with run-time type-checking, but it doesn't conform the to spec. In this way you could say that the language is fundamentally compiled or interpreted.

Of course, this doesn't address issues of incremental evaluation which often requires additional semantics for compiled languages.
I don't think you have to forgo backwards compatibility. Implement a standard VM and library set that everyone can compile to. Implement HTML/JS as a module in the new system.
Problem solved.
I disagree. Lawsuits could also be rightfully characterized as signalling mechanisms for predatory (but still ethical) commercial opportunities, social ills and/or exploitation of same, poorly constructed laws or regulations, reasonable disagreements, and probably half a dozen other situations. Not to mention that the ethical problems that could be signaled by a lawsuit might be those of the plaintiff, the defendant, or either of their legal teams. Or all of them together.
I hope they include the impact-hammer + teleporter puck combo. It was SO FUN blasting that puck across the map then teleporting to it, not to mention trying to defend against such a move with the shock combo.
Did you know that almost all your example is perfectly doable in Python? Try this:

def my_func ( ) :

a = 1

return a

It will run without a problem because only leading space is significant. Then you can mix tabs and spaces, add the space you want, blank lines, etc.

The Python coding style guideline (PEP 8) is very specific in that it recommends the use of 4 leading spaces per level. You can use a very simple program with regular expressions to solve any problem you could have in the mix of tabs and spaces in your files.

Now, try this example in FORTRAN.

parameter(x=2)
print*,"The parameter is ",x

Why can't I use commas or parentheses to delimit all the tokens in Go? Why does it insert semicolons without asking? Is such an arbitrary and problematic decision as the significant leading whitespace in Python.
The history of Beats is itself fascinating: http://gizmodo.com/5981823/beat-by-dre-the-inside-story-of-h...
In WW2, statisticians determined that if B-17s flew their missions unarmed, they would have a higher survival rate. Unarmed B-17's would be quite a bit lighter, and so could fly higher and faster.

But the air crews simply could not tolerate not being able to shoot back.
I think this is pretty damaging to the Apple brand.

The biggest reason is that China is not a country ruled by fair application of law. To win in China, you have to be willing to bend the law as much as possible without getting slapped (or at least, just slapped on the wrists). American companies can't execute like that: if fuzzy application of Chinese law doesn't get them (either by getting slapped, or having to follow laws that their competitors don't have to), the American government anti-corruption laws will (it is illegal for American companies to participate in any bribery...we aren't even allowed to take Chinese or grad students professors out to lunch!).

Facebook has done very well in South Korea and Japan. Russia is similar to China in the "rule of law" category.
As a point of comparison, in San Francisco (ground zero for these things), a city where flagging down a cab is very hit-or-miss, they're everywhere -- it works great.
I think that's timezone offset
If the overhead bins were reserved for certain seats, it seems like boarding would go a lot smoother.

I've flown in countries where they're really strict with enforcing the size limit on carry ons. Boarding was much quicker.
I'm a bit of an audiophile myself, so I wouldn't listen to Beats, but I do think "bad" is a value judgement. I want a neutral reproduction of the music, and I get that with my Grado's. The Beats customer wants lots of thumpy bass. We each get what we want.
ASP.NET MVC 5 -How to Redirect/Switch/Routing view inside Control
I really think people are underestimating the streaming service they could be acquiring here.

Currently even as an iTunes Match subscriber, if I hear a song on iTunes radio I still need to go and purchase the song if I like it.

Potentially the deals Beats currently have mean I could just tag that song as one I like, and each time I listen to it some amount of revenue is split between the label and Apple.

Acquiring beats would undoubtedly mean they also acquire their licencing contracts, which seem to have been traditionally difficult for Apple in the past.
Quality when applied to speakers and headphones is typically demonstrated by frequency response, with a perfectly flat response being the pinnacle. Headphones like Beats appeal to people who have only had bargain headphones (think a few bucks), and they do this by having attractive packaging and just basically amping up the bass response because bass has a "wow factor".
4 Ways To Increase Creativity As An Entrepreneur
There's also the way the business evolved. Manufacturers don't have unlimited funds to:

1) design cars

2) design factories

3) manufacture cars

4) retail cars

So somewhere along the line someone figured out that cars are somewhat commodity, same as clothing or food. A grocery store sells several brands of food and department stores sell several brands of clothing. Cars could be done the same way.

Manufacturers liked it because it allowed them to grow much faster by selling franchise licenses and use that money for design of cars, factories and to actually build cars. It's an all around win.

But eventually manufacturers grow to the point where they aren't starved for capital anymore, have good market penetration and growth starts to slow. So a natural next step is to cut out the middlemen (the dealers who have paid franchise fees) and start direct-to-consumer sales efforts. This idea didn't sit well with the dealers who had paid those franchise fees and might have assumed they could amortize them over many years.

So laws got passed preventing manufacturers from competing with the dealers that they had sold franchises to.

But Tesla has never sold anyone a franchise ever. They're not doing naughty things to their former customers (the dealers) because they've never had dealers.

REQUIRING them to sell only to dealers doesn't make sense unless you're worried about Ford doing some kind of shady restructuring to get themselves out of all their dealer contracts and to start selling direct to consumers.
Oops, didn't think straight.
I was talking about the rendering that Qt-Creator uses inherently. If you know of a way to control that, it would be great. The only option I see is under Editor->Fonts as "Enable/Disable antialiasing" which isn't really helpful since I use Ubuntu Mono, Monaco etc.
I am similar. I wait until the last minute to board, given that my seat is reserved anyways. As a bonus, I can use the internet until I'm on the plane, which is great when I'm out of country and can't be connected through my phone. Also, the lines are usually atrocious on flights to/from China, so waiting is the best option.
Actually, families with young children & people who need extra time board first.

Then first class boards.
The China Daily is an official newspaper, and this article surprises me coming from such a source. That it is being submitted here and is being upvoted here illustrates how much gee-whiz value China adds to any news story, about ever so speculative a project. So one guy in his armchair has proposed an expensive, long-term project that may never happen--not least for political reasons ("cross Siberia to Bering Strait").

I guess the value of the article kindly submitted here is as a reminder that many news stories about China seem credible to readers who have never been to China, even if they are incredible to people who have been there. The Chinese saying "百聞不如一見" (hearing of something a hundred times isn't worth seeing it once) may apply here. For a long time, there were submissions here to HN about a guy in China who was going to build a pre-fab high-rise hotel building in just one day. That still hasn't happened. Predictions about the future are fun to think about--that's why I used to read science fiction stories--but we can best size up how a country is doing[1] by looking at current news and sustainable trends. (In the case of China, it is important to look at reporting from publications other than official publications of the one-party-dictatorship government of the country as a reality check.)

Good luck with that high-speed train from China to America. I wonder if I will be able to ride that or ride a space elevator[2] first.
