It seems logical, i noticed more articles concerning Twitch. So probably Google picked that up in their big data analytics.

An acquisition would seem logical then.
As time goes on the non-gamer generations die off. The gamers grow richer and their willingness to pay increase. The new generations will probably also game.
I'm an avid gamer and this is the first time I've heard about Kamcord, so that's must mean something.
It is interesting how the international view of Detroit differs from the domestic view of Detroit. Americans, as far as I can tell, view Detroit with what strikes me as hostility almost. Not all... but a lot of Americans that I have heard speak on the issue. And I say that as an American. Whereas elsewhere in the world, the view is... a bit different.

I think the "grit" brand positioning fits... since most of the brands trying to tie into Detroit are luxury. I think it will work well. But I don't think you could market many things to the average American using Brand Detroit.

Maybe cars ... that Eminem Chrysler 300 commercial was pretty good.

Just saying that the view of a Canadian, or Frenchman, or a German of Detroit will, in all likelihood, be different from the view of an American of Detroit...

Even though none of the people holding the opinions French, Canadian, German or American have actually ever visited Detroit.
Declining to comment literally doesn't mean anything. They are not saying yes OR no, possibly because as a big company you need to weigh up various effects of making public statements that might seem trivial to the lay-person.
This is just an interesting experiment, nothing more. It's already well established that high energy photons can create matter/anti-matter particle pairs, it's done all the time in the laboratory in a variety of conditions. However, there are some subtleties behind the process. A single photon in empty space won't necessarily spontaneously cause pair-production, you need a suitable environment for it to happen in. Typically this happens within matter, when high energy gamma rays travel through a physical material. And, indeed, this is an important process in stellar stability for extremely high mass stars. When extremely massive stars (130 to 250 solar masses) get old enough their cores heat up to such high temperatures that the glow from the hot matter includes photons with energies high enough to cause pair production. When enough of the thermal energy of the star's core gets dumped into photons of such energies the star becomes unstable, because the photon pressure is reduced due to the production of electrons and positrons (which re-annihilate and produce photons again, but there's a time gap). The instability results in a supernova/hypernova/gamma-ray-burst.

Anyway, in theory high energy photons should be able to cause pair-production even without interacting with matter, such as merely interacting with other photons. And that's what this experiment is designed to test.
>just as our roads are free and open to everyone, so should the digital roads be.

Nobody is arguing that internet access should be gratis. How could you possibly perceive it as not meaning "free as in freedom?"
How much of a bargain does the original Google acquisition of YouTube, for $1.65 billion, seem today? Less than one tenth of what Facebook are paying for WhatsApp!
You have to wonder how much the NFL Sunday Ticket was worth as part of this transaction.
> Do Americans really have no vegetables in winter ?

Here in America we suffer from this thing called "climate", which causes weather-changing seasons to happen, which makes the northern parts of the country like New York into desolate wastelands of snow and ice and cold. (I know, this must be tough to understand for someone in Europe with its much more mild maritime and Mediterranean climate, of which we are intensely jealous, especially during those winter months.)

This article is specifically talking about locally produced crops; during the winter, Americans get their vegetables from refrigerated storage or from the south. Southern California, Texas, Florida and Latin America are huge producers during the winter months, but other states also produce some amounts of winter hardy crops.
Recently I noted an anecdotal improvement: more gamers seem to be saying that a winning player "shit on" another player instead of saying they "raped" them.
Do you have evidence that happens? That sounds very strange.
Wow, OpenSSL smells so bad, I don't even really trust LibreSSL, at least not for a few years. This is no fault of the great devs trying to clean it up, but more a reflection of how I feel about anything security essential being written in C with a day 1 focus on security.

I personally will stay on the path of using the Go built-in SSL library. Sure there are theoretical issues, but no real ones, I trust that real ones will be handled promptly as they appear and everything is well reviewed and unit tested (and of course is written in a memory safe language). I realize this isn’t an option for the non-gophers, but for gophers... yeah. Maybe when Go (hopefully soon) can be compiled to shared libraries this will be an option for non-Go projects.

These guys are doing heroic work, kudos to them. This is not garbage I would want to have to take out.
I think a more nuanced article would instead explain to students how to gain competitive advantage, and work with the system, while simultaneously fulfilling the desire to work on one's own problems of interest.

I still don't know for sure if I made the right choice in 1995, sticking to bio grad school, instead of trying to get a job at Yahoo! I mean, had I done the latter, I would likely be independently weathy and able to fund any science project I wish. On the other hand, I really did learn a lot about politics trying to be a scientist. And how to write prose that gets funded. And how to tell a good story.

Same story for 2001, when I did a couple postdocs instead of dedicating all my time trying to get a job at Google. Again, would be wealthy instead of having to work, and could contract out to answer any scientific questions I cared about...

The process of becoming a scientist was painful. The vast majority of being a scientist seems to be doing work that ensures you are free to pursue something of interest... but not having enough time to pursue it, due to bureaucracy. However, spending well over 10,000 hours laboring on interesting problems, and being able to apply the skills gained from that (without having to apply for funding) is very satisfying.
Guile 2.2 is going to be one hell of a release.
It also doesn't fit their app store policy at all, particularly in light of the recent takedowns aimed at guides or utilities for PC games in absence of any copyright claims.
Van de Graff generators are certainly useful for the first 20 MeV or so, but the source photons generated by the electron beam in this case are >500 MeV.
It's funny that my experience is the complete opposite, I wonder if it's just our confirmation bias, or the fact that we are too small a sample. It could also be that us being in different countries (I assume) impacts a lot in our experiences.
"...people who live right around the city who will move in once conditions are right..."

Probably not... because once the "conditions" are right... the price DEFINITELY will not be. But Detroit will probably draw more and more of the high end of the creative class. I won't argue that.
Young people don't care about sports either. eSports like they have on Twitch.tv are more and more popular.

A $35 leaf antenna from amazon gets you all the local HD channels for free.
Same here, never heard of it.
Can I ask where you live, and how much you pay? In the bay area internet only is marginally cheaper than any bundle. $99 for TV + 25mbps and between $66 for just the 25mbps. Teaser rates are $59 for the bundle, $29 for internet.
I have website since 2007 and 90% of my visitors is Google visitors. 2 months back i lose 85% of my traffic without any reason. I don't have any message in Google webmaster. Google is applying filters to reduice my traffic on search results. Sometime it go to normal so i receive all my visitors and 2 days after penality comeback. I don't undertand how google works and i am not using any spammy links or other. So google is kelling the web ....
To clarify, it's not as though Twitch is a magical world free from copyright restrictions. However, youtube's copyright enforcement system is extremely aggressive, overzealous, and a hassle for content creators to deal with. Youtube had a huge flood of takedowns for let's play videos due to mostly bureaucratic reasons rather than actual, legitimate copyright violations, for example. And that is what people are avoiding.
I think it's important to take notice that Twitch's recent problems (the buffering problem, chat problems, the delay in general) are problems with their ability to cater to the big tournaments which causes me to really not be all that surprised if this turns out to be true.

The ways they've handled the tournaments have really disillusioned many streamers. I don't know if there's any better way for them to have dealt with the scaling problems they faced as I can only imagine the work that must go into supporting a live stream, with real time chat, that has 100k+ viewers (and for some of the bigger tournaments that's a small number). Something like a 30s+ delay in the stream makes it very difficult to have real interactions between the streamer and the viewers which is particularly bad for smaller streams. For the big guys it doesn't matter as much since their interaction is less back-and-forth and more broadcaster in style and there's absolutely no interaction with the tournaments.

The point is that if this is true it really doesn't surprise me at all. And whether or not it is I think there's definitely an opening for some serious competition to Twitch by making a service that is essentially an exact copy but from a business focus standpoint caters more towards the small-to-medium sized streamer and their audience.
Can offshore cash be used for acquisitions without being taxed on repatriation?
I wonder how companies like Sony feel about this considering a part of their service is now owned by Google.
If sites can make spammy links to another site and google would then hurt the linked to sites ranking it follows that a profit model would soon arise -> Make spammy links and charge to have links removed.

Has this been seen? Can anyone show a case?
Do you really think that the last 30-40 years of crypto research represents the best we can have, given timespans of millions of years?
The Bessel function(s) are pretty difficult to calculate and generally have to be calculated numerically via any of several methods. Looking at the numbers you posted, I'd say that Jmat is probably using a different algorithm and/or precision level than the others. My hunch would be that it's using a series expansion, while the other software is using one of the more clever algorithms.

PS: In Mathematica, you should probably use "N[..., 20]" instead of "SetPrecision". It not quite the same and using SetPrecision can cause odd effects if you're not careful, like accidentally triggering numerical evaluation too early.
NYPD uses GPS-enabled pill bottle to catch alleged drugstore robber
You don't even need to formally challenge it. Any DMCA takedown request requesting that a link be removed is malformed, becuase it does not identify a copyrighted work that is being infringed. You can safely ignore such a request, or bounce it back requesting that the sender specify what copyrighted work is in question.
Ha. Your naiveté is cute. This deal is all about buying out the competition. It's not about streaming. Youtube could have streaming if they wanted to, without the 1B.
The question isn't whether people will game - the question is whether eSports will continue to grow as it does now. Being a gamer and being into eSports aren't one and the same. I play a lot of games, I don't watch a lot of eSports (it doesn't interest me).

Not that I'm saying the market won't grow - on the contrary, I think it will continue to do so. It's a very small market compared to sports generally ($1 billion would barely buy you a top class sports team, let alone a network like ESPN).
Great point!

Every marketing seminar I have ever been to has emphasised that as much as you can turn your clients into fans, in the end you still need to ask them for a testimonial and that you need to tell them that you love referrals.
I'd just like to emphasize:

while most people would agree that we train too many PhDs, I can assure you: the process of training many PhDs (in any discipline) has been very, very good to Google. It selects for, and hones the skills of, people who are quantitative, can form hypotheses, and test them.

I went to Goog- and took a significant temporary hit to my bioinformatics career- while working as a software engineer on stuff that was far from science. However, I can assure you: my training could be easily transferred.

Looking at the alumni list for my program,
http://biophysics.ucsf.edu/people/alumni
I see a very wide range of outcomes- yeah, a few professors, but also SVPs of companies, venture capitalists, doctors, software engineers, patent counsel, and industrial scientists. You can also see the postdoc bolus.

Another way to put it: going to school is not the fast or easy path.
You sound like a fun person to hang out with.

My arithmetic wasn't off. I misremembered the price by $1b.
Content marketing: 5 trends to watch
It's really strange, I use the default (emacs?) bindings in Bash, but I edit with vim (if I don't have X to run Sublime...)
Authy raising a round
I agree. I hope, YouTube does not change much on the surface. Streamers and viewers are like deer in the night. A flash like integration into Google Accounts would most likely scare them away. I'm sceptical.
How? Wireless?

That'd be at least 3 years away, if he could piggy-back on another network.

According to their Q4 report, AT&T spent about $50B EACH in expenses in 2013 on their wireless and wired operations. Zuck only has $25B (personally). How much of a network could he (or Facebook, after he gets shareholder approval) build? This isn't an app built in PHP or Objective C.
It doesn't apply. A DMCA request must identify a copyrighted work that is being infringed. If your host is forwarding on these takedown requests, they're not doing their job properly.
BTW: R01 in late 20s is absurdly early. Your PI is not typical.
I'm a little surprised at the down votes as I don't think anything I said was factually incorrect.. are people offended that I think writing something like an SSL library in C is a bad idea perhaps?
Not just that, don't the new consoles have options to stream direct to Twitch? I don't remember seeing that option for Youtube...
If you go by the content and style of comments on both, I think they're perfect for each other...I'm sure I'm not the only one with that sentiment.
The story also says "Zigang has a tube that lowers air pressure in the running environment to 10 times less than normal." (This probably makes little sense to someone who's good at physics of gases--reducing by 100% or 1x is the lowest you can go with that.)

In general, I guess this story has about the level of quality that one should expect of a science & engineering story sourced from the _Daily Mail_.
He's talking at FUDCon (Fedora Users' and Developers' Conference) on the same topic next weekend:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Beijing_2014#Schedule
They have plenty of climate in Europe -- they just haven't become reliant on a single state that's going to be in extreme drought for at least the next decade for all their produce during the winter months. See, for example, Magnus Nilsson's talk at Google regarding how he produces nearly all his own vegetables at his restaurant in northern Sweden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEMdhX3gtCY
That's not how these trait/type systems work.
Seems a bit like Something Awful. They have a one time fee before you can post anything.
Your first statement is absolutely ridiculous. Do you have data to back this up? I'm not in some "~esportz~" community - but I'm not in a sports community either, and you know what happens to my facebook when an athletic game is on? 20-30yo people talking about it in a massive flood. I have, as far as I know, never seen any of my friends (general Austinites of various walks of life) mention esports.

If you're referring to the 12-15yo crew; they don't pay cable bills anyway.
The smartest blog I know to understand relationships. A must read:

http://www.therationalmale.com
The woman who saw beneath oceans
I'm sorry Matt, but that is a pretty silly thing to quote. After all, what's the point of building a strategic network, or making friends, or any other long, grueling white-hat tactic that takes forever to pull off?

Under that same logic, Google Adwords should never know in advance where their ad clients are coming from, and if you have someone out there trying to on-board big clients (or increase their spend) that's the wrong path.

You say "if they get caught" when sometimes, there is nothing to catch. You're dinging people who have grinded to forge relationships, in the name of trying to keep spammers out of the index.

It makes it too easy for me to hire a spam company to blast an overwhelming amount of crappy links at my competitors who may or may not be well equipped to disavow those links.

Which, if my company has the budget to hire someone to monitor & disavow, and my competition does not, well... somebody's still gaming the system...just not in the same way...
+1d specifically for "There's no politics as vicious as academic politics (since so little is at stake), and who your supervisor is for your PhD matters more than how clever you are."

Also, don't be ashamed - if you tried to do good, thorough work despite seeing quick and dirty work being rewarded, in the end you did a great thing!
It kind've fit, but not quite. I hadn't heard it in a context other than the literal before, which was interesting to see. :)
I don't get the downvotes. Repurposing something for another useful purpose is exactly what hacking is all about.
It is really a simple analysis: The number of tenured faculty is not increasing, so to have a long-term sustainable job market, each one can only graduate one PhD. The actual number over their career is probably more like 5-10. Every one except one of them will not get a tenured faculty job, that's just basic numbers.
Highlighting? How so? Are you in a graphical term emulator or using something like gpm?
Awesome pointer, thanks!
Young people don't care about sports? Wow.
I don't think any of this has much relevance to the article, but there ended up being quite an ironic twist to his proud homophobia: http://www.studlife.com/news/faculty-news/2010/10/11/son-of-...
This can already be seen, housing is going to be a huge problem without some major investment in that area as well.

Nowhere beside Downtown, and maybe one other neighborhood, is worth living in right now, and the rent in those areas are starting to sky rocket.

Living in Cleveland I sometimes get contact by companies in Detroit looking for developers. I recently considered taking a position, but the housing situation made me reconsider.

It was either pay 3X the rent for an apartment Downtown, compared to my apartment in Cleveland, or have a 45-60 commute every day. Even with the increase in salary it wasn't worth the move.
> Is this an artifact of the camera scanning line-by-line relatively slowly?

Yes!
This in no way implies Google won't use the disavow data to not trust source sites in the future.
He could have just Googled. I think Twitter's Snowflake came to some very similar conclusions.

https://github.com/twitter/snowflake/

I even wrote something in Ruby as an idea based off it (although it hasn't been used in production yet)

Didn't you also have issues with pressure differences inside, outside and between buildings in dense metro areas?
As a user I don't want to type a 8 symbol random gibberish identifier any more than a 64 symbol one. Don't waste your time with making it less painful, use the time to avoid this scenario entirely.
I think you missed the point of the disavow tool. If Google hit you with a penalty, they still expect you to put in a good faith effort to remove the link naturally first.

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=en
I explained why in the first post. To be friendly and a generally good person. Legality was not a reason given so I'm not sure why you feel that's an argument. In this case, the guy posting the link does have a bad reputation, which is no doubt the reason for the search ranking hit. His deliberate posting and refusal to remove it makes him a bit of an ass.

And "Why" one should not behave as an ass is self evident in my mind. But we may not agree on this as evidenced by your last sentence.
Oh, and to address your other point: the line between compiled and interpreted languages has been blurry since day one, and it's only getting blurrier. No modern, highly-used interpreted language gets by these days without compilation to bytecode. Rather than "compilation vs. interpretation", the battle should be "interpretation vs. native execution", which is more meaningful, but the line there is actually still pretty blurry (see JIT compilation, which straddles that line).
You listing 3 inventions that came from peaceful times is simply inviting an adversarial response.

[1] Penicillin - it was not until 1939 when Dr. Howard Florey’s research was able to prove the effectiveness of penicillin without a shadow of a doubt and with the aid of Andrew J. Moyer he developed the most powerful antibacterial substance in the world.

Invented during conflict -

>> Hydrogen Peroxide (forerunner to fuel-cell & synthetic fuel technology
>> Synthetic Rubber
>> Air Traffic Control
>> Superglue
>> Tampons / Tampax / Sanitary Pads (WW1 Cellulose Bandage)
>> Jerry Can
>> Pressurised Cabin
>> Radio Navigation
>> Cryptography / Cryptanalysis
>> Radar
>> Synthetic Oil
>> V-2 Rocket (forerunner to the R7 & Mercury)
>> Jet Engine
>> Nuclear Power
>> Paper Money (greenbacks)
>> Canned Food
>> Sewing Machine
>> Standardized Clothing Sizes
>> Telegraph Network

I could go, as I am sure could you. The point is that you assumption that the net effect of conflict is simply a loss does not stand up to rigorous academic thinking. The variables are too complex.

Also, your comment about $20 / raining money as an analogy is absurd. The majority of the workers on Camp Bastion are unskilled and were earning less than $1 a day in subsistence agriculture prior to the arrival of military forces. Regardless of the war aims etc the median income has risen as an effect of troops being located with the populace. The ffect of war on a western or advanced market economy might be different but for Afghanistan it increased the amount of capital in the country.
I'm surprised Apple didn't get into this recent movement of communications company acquisitions. For 1/3 of their cash pile, they could have streamlined control of not only the devices (tablets, phones, tv's) and the content market place (itunes), but also the infrastructure to provide media and telecom services through possible acquisitions of time warner, directv, and/or tmobile.
For what is worth, my view of Detroit as a Spaniard was shaped by a) dangerous and violent Robocop, b) the rough play of the Dennis Rodman era's Pistons, and c) the poor and depressed world of Eminem. I don't know if younger foreigners have different references.
Isn't it a little strange to cite the increase of corn and soy as evidence against the viability of the local food movement without mentioning the global increase in demand for those products?

I'd guess because nobody has ever heard of Kamcord and you look like a guy trying to plug his company (not saying that's what you are, it's just what it looks like).
