The illusion that the display is a window into another parallel 3D world might prove very useful once developers & users know how to exploit it.

Tilting the phone to see 'under' the current foreground might be a way to show next-messages, pending-notifications, etc.

Add a backside display, and perhaps you'd flip the phone for 'details' - and the eye-tracking ensures that usually, only one side is powered at a time.

Or what if each side of a telepresence-connection is being live-mapped with technology like:

Then, even without a head-worn VR display, your handheld phone/tablet can serve as a roaming-camera into the remote space.
Humour bypass!

Whilst everyone else is 'how high?' jumping to the latest Amazon hype event as if it really mattered, I regurgitate their last 'hype event' and get a wave of downvotes with people thinking I must be that retarded to think it really is the drone.

Do you have things like comedy in America or is everything that bad it has to be serious about everything nowadays?
Leaving the gratuitous sexism to one side briefly - a Black Tie Rave... 'champagne and caviar paired with glowsticks'... I ask you. And from the city that gave the world house music.
De Grey himself seems to take the approach: "we are working on regeneration medicine that will cure each particular, nameable thing that is wrong with old people, and when you have done all of that, there is nothing left to call aging." Thus the NIH problem is side stepped.
AT&T made the same bet to the tune of $4 billion and they lost. We'll see.
77.8%.

In the United States, 77.8% of homicide victims are male.

But no, Sean is having a public anxiety attack because a company chose a photograph of two actual attendees in a photo booth who chose chose to dress slightly more provocatively than his sensibilities allow.

Sean isn't being brave. He's sucking up to women in an extremely politically expedient way.
That does not seem like a similar case to me. You specifically say "less miners" in #2. Plus what do you mean by mining capacity? If you mean actual GH/s then that's not a meaningful measurement because better hardware in the future will give higher mining efficiency at the same mining cost.

It just seems like you're oversimplifying a really complex equation with lost of potential outcomes. Perhaps this short comment style just isn't allowing you to explain everything. Have you written a blog or anything that details your thoughts on this?
Yep, it's definitely a phone sized device, and you can see her scrolling with her finger in the reflection, so it's a touch screen. Now, what's actually unique about it that separates it from the millions of similar devices, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Perhaps the display stays square to your head? I mean, if you're viewing the screen at a slight angle, it skews the perspective to look straight?

There's a quick photoshop of a phone at an angle and the display square. Now, you wouldn't purposely use the phone at such an extreme angle, but when you're typing, playing games, in bed, etc, it might make things easier to use. Fairly straightforward, it would just be tracking the location of your head, and adjust the perspective of the display.
Also at 0:04, the guy in glasses. It seems to be quite thick for a phone though.
3D Video Capture With Three Kinects (& Oculus Rift)
I don't think that darklajid can be the one downvoting -- at least not your post replying to him. I suspect you're being downvoted (and not by me) for suggesting that a statewide missing child alert is warranted in response to a kid being spotted alone in a parking lot for a few minutes, which is the kind of thing that people are mad about in this thread.

> In California, there are about 1900 cases of family child abduction and 50 cases of child abduction by a stranger every year. the chances that any given suspicious episode like this will be a child abduction are thus about 1 in 5000 - a remote probability, but of a sufficiently severe nature that it has to be followed up.

Hmm, what "math" did you just do to come up with 1 in 5000?
If you consider brain development to be iterative over many generations of brains through human and pre-human history, the training datasets are a lot larger.
Ideally they would capture a rapist without breaking the law.
I kind of suspect Amazon knew this when they were making it.

Remember their free-publicity drones segment on 60 minutes that made Amazon Prime go apeshit right before Black Friday? They've got a very clever marketing department.

Furthermore, this is exactly the kind of thing that would

(a) Drive traffic that otherwise wouldn't care to a promo for a video about another goddamn smartphone

(b) Convince whoever watches it, even if purely for entertainment value, that this is a totally different phone and worth paying attention to (like the opposite of when I keep ignoring Samsung or whoever's "THE NEXT BIG THING" every two months...yeah, whatever, the screen is a different size or something)

If they just announced "we're making a smartphone guys - here's a video!" it wouldn't be nearly as huge. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets on the front page of reddit purely because it's hilarious when you misinterpret it.

Hell, worked on me.
The Rise of the Ondemand Small Business
The NDA did not cause the rapists to go free. The fact the police broke the law did that. they should not have done it.
I have a sneaking feeling that the #YesAllWomen thing might have gone a bit over your head.

It wasn't because more women died. It wasn't because of the plight of the western woman. #YesAllWomen was a more-or-less spontaneous response to the killer's motives. It was because the killer thought that he was entitled to get whatever he wanted from any woman he wanted, and wanted to make them suffer for depriving him of what he felt he deserved (sex with beautiful women). While most men will never go to that extreme, all women have experienced some form of punishment from a male for denying their sexual advances.

If you can't see why society would respond to that the way that it did, I'm not sure that a western society is appropriate for a person with your worldview.
That was actually my exact original intent, but I'm leaning toward giving up on it because:

- Bitcore has lots of Bitcoin-specific things

- I'd have to expose a wrapped RPC API anyway.
How to Procrastinate and Still Get Things Done (1996)
How to Buy Darkcoin
I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile in 2011, and I've been very happy I made the switch. The reception is much better where I live and travel and I get a better selection of phones with GSM (I only got world phones with Sprint, which only gave me 1 or 2 choices). Then T-Mobile got better by offering better plans ($20-30 cheaper per line per month than Sprint), no contracts, more upgrades, and most recently, free worldwide roaming. I tested out the worldwide data in the Dominican Republic this month, and it was very useful as an alternative to WiFi. I used to pay $40 a month extra for Sprint Data Worldwide when they offered it, and I left Sprint the minute they discontinued it. I hope T-Mobile stays independent.
Ah, thanks.

Your question seems incredibly irrelevant. Yes, putting partying people on a party invite seems like the most natural thing to do. The women are clothed, so I'm not sure why you think a shirtless guy is equivalent. But more to the point, I think putting sexy guys having fun on a party invite would make exactly as much sense as this one. But it would have the disadvantage of not showing women that they can show up and have a good time too.
Based on personal experience, I couldn't disagree more. If you're a good worker, leave on good terms and maintain contacts you will only expand your options.
as I understand it, the bets go to holding pools (presumably controlled by bitbook.ie) until the events outcome is determined, at which point they are dispersed accordingly, maybe I got that wrong
The original article says nothing at all about what the problem is and the comments here says a lot of different things, most doesn't make any sense at all (complaining about sexualizing a rave...).
Nice! Thanks for the link, I admit I didn't do as much looking on the clang side as gcc. Doesn't look like these exist in gcc though, unfortunately. :/
This could be a concern while the site has only operated for a short period. During that period, keep your wagers small. After the business is seen to be profitable, it becomes something of a golden goose, and this threat would be limited to rogue employees rather than the firm itself. Protecting against rogue employees could still be an interesting problem.

Admittedly, the concern we're discussing is one reason why I wouldn't mind if this firm charged a really small distribution percentage.
> But the only other interpretation I can think of is that you think men are at a disadvantage to women, which is a laughable assertion.

For men and women born since the mid-1980s, absolutely. And crime, education, and income statistics support my assertion.
Tab from expiry to cvc doesn't work in the interactive. Other than that, honestly, I was just impressed by the "boring" version. Very tidy form, nice to see a new take on it. Existing cc forms around are seriously painful to use. Really digging the card vendor detection, neat touch.
Sprint is going LTE, so is T-mobile.
Apple’s new Swift Playgrounds need a sandbox
And that's why metaphors are leaky abstractions.
Aren't both CDMA and GSM legacy technologies at this point? It's all about the LTE and VoLTE going forward.
4G LTE is based on GSM technology so as devices get more and more bandwidth heavy most of the network load will be on GSM derived technology. There are likely infrastructure differences on the switching side between TMobile/Sprint but the RF technology is the same since Sprint is moving away from WiMax based 4G to GSM 4G LTE.
Thanks for doing this, Evan! Much appreciated - I've already implemented it to compare with our traditional confidence score based A/B metrics.

I'm not sure what you mean by Monte Carlo for confidence bounds - is there some reading I can do to brush up on that?

edit: here is your solution implemented in Ruby as I implemented it https://gist.github.com/nickelser/6dfa0f2737c502dae267
I think the degree-inflation problem is the key here. There is no reason why a person needs a degree to be able to program. That wasn't the original purpose of such degrees.

In a nutshell, academic certifications assess whether you know things, while industry certifications assess whether you can do things.

For a business, there is a strong focus on doing, rather than knowing. Who cares about whether certain classes of problems are computable? Just write a program that does it for our problem set.

And there is nothing wrong with this. At the same time though, if you want to make advances that bring about the next generation of programming/technology/etc, you would need to have an understanding of how these things work.

Unfortunately, this line has been blurred significantly -- universities have become big business, caring more about selling degrees then teaching fundamentals. At the same time, businesses have been using degrees as a criteria for hiring, and then complaining that people with said degrees can't do what they expect them to.

I hate to describe a problem without providing a solution, but I don't really have a solution for this.
Facts about the military empire of switzerland
If there's anything i've learned through the years, if something is actually industry breaking revolutionary... they have no need to hype the launch. It'll get the press after the event.

I'm reminded of the time Opera "Changed the internet"
Oh, so I guess it is strictly O(m log m + log n) if m is the number of letters. You can theoretically get it to be O(m log m) using a hashmap (makes lookups O(1)) or trie (lookups are O(m)).
3D effects are neat, but I'm betting Amazon is more excited to get a high fidelity eyetracker in your phone.

maybe you can split the bounty into 14 parts and use chain{1,15}_iv0 as secrete keys. So now is not a winner takes all. Also you create more competition to ensure your lock is opened.
Is it possible to share the anecdote here? Or provide a link?
I don't have much time, but firstly :

2. I use ctl-shift-f a lot where I double click the matches and it takes you to the code windows. That always stops working after a few hours.

3. Web service in a solution no longer spin up automatically. I have to start them manually everytime I open VS. Combined with point 2 is extra annoyance.

4. Connecting to Azure via Server Explorer -> Windows Azure -> Connect to Windows Azure requires me to first go do some other random thing otherwise I get a non-nondescript 'network error'

5. I upgraded to update 2 and it quietly turned a number of crucial references to 'Copy local = false', which didn't stop the app working on my machine because I had the sdk installed of the relevant library, it only broke on test machines.

6. Not that I use it much, but yesterday I noticed the WPF designer randomly stops me from changing simple properties such as margins. It works for some properties and not the others.
From what I understand, if this goes through, T-mobile will be the surviving brand. The current CEO of T-Mobile will run the new company.

I am a current T-mobile customer and anti-Sprint. I think this is a good move.

This is more of a merger than a buyout.
I actually was not, I didn't understand the relationship between the two languages. I see now that they are not related at all. By the way, it's "You're trolling"
I'm not so sure, have a look at some of the pics from 2013. It appears to be more than a tech event as it has some kind of fashion show component.

I think it'd be distasteful if I were to post photos of individuals in comparable clothing without their permission, but you can take a look here: https://www.facebook.com/techweek/photos_stream

Considering no one has mentioned a fashion show component to this event, I suspect this discussion is missing some context.

We use a bit of injected js and an app running on a local server that integrates Trello with our TFS stories, and bugs. It's actually pretty handy. I thought this was going to be more things like that, instead of templates with column names.
Is there a reason to ask people for their names? To just try it out, I first just ignored it and pressed "Start". When that failed, I typed "a" as my name and tried again, which also failed.

I question this.
Neither I nor Wikipedia should be used for legal advice, but there are exceptions to discrimination law, and the parent's comment seems to precisely meet one of them:

Parimutuel has simplification benefits for the pool-operator and casual recreational bettor... but is of little interest to big-money/smart-money.

Why not? Unless they're the last money in, they might not be getting the odds they expect... and thus might even have their money on the 'wrong side' of the bet, given the final odds.

That could limit the interest and liquidity here.
Last Sunday's New York Times has an article that contains a detailed analysis of the soul-searching that Palantir is undergoing as it expands. The article has interviews with the founder of Palantir and its recruiter. It also has photos of the office.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/01/business/unlocking-secrets...

The article mentions a cap of $450,000 a year in compensation ($137,000 salary + bonus $15,000 + $300,000 stock).

My 2 cents worth of advice would be to take the job and see how it works out for a year. After that, you are free to decide to go or stay, but with much better information at hand to make your decision.
Couple of notes:

* It is easier to just install a Linux 3.15 kernel. I installed the latest RC on Ubuntu 14.04 and that did the trick.

* You should not have to install Mountain Lion first. I made a Mavericks ISO using the script mentioned and it installed without any issues

* The Qemu that ships with Ubuntu 14.04 is new enough. No need to compile your own. Those patches are pretty old and if your distro is up to date then you most likely already have a Qemu that just works.

Indeed. Here's a screengrab:

She's clearly using something that looks like a phone.
If you're in the market for a new desktop, I couldn't agree more with the suggestion of a hackint0sh. After fiddling with difficult laptop installs ~2006, I seized the opportunity to jump back in last Black Friday and have been working on a remarkably stable/powerful desktop at a fraction of a Mac Pro cost thanks to the resources/community over at http://www.tonymacx86.com . With their monthly buying guides (recommending compatible, proven hardware) and their installation tool, it was an incredibly easy process. (Personally, triple booting with Linux for coding fun, Windows for games, and Mac for the majority is great).

The one thing you give up, of course, is the guarantee of future compatibility. That said, there is some security in hardware working in 10.9, likely working with 10.10+ (or w/e Yosemite is) just as old Mac's working with future OSX versions, with the additional ability to easily swap/upgrade components.
I can't speak for everyone, but I downvoted you primarily because of your arrogant and generally uncivil tone and your predictions and assumptions as why people (would) downvote you.

Judging from your other comments, you can be fascinating and insightful, and I have much to learn from you especially in the field of programming. And yet your comment history is peppered with comments in a similar tone and attitude.

I can't tell if you're just tone-deaf or doing this on purpose, but I find it highly unpleasant. Plus, you're not following the guidelines:

> Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

> Please don't bait other users by inviting them to downmod you.
As long as they stay pro-GSM and unlocked phones. And no matter what, it's way better than a purchase by Comcast!
> I think putting sexy guys having fun on a party invite would make exactly as much sense as this one.

Of everything that you've said on this topic, I agree only with this sentence; neither makes any sense.

P.S. They've unbuttoned their shirts so you can see their muscular pecs. (Note carefully: in my example, they were never shirtless.)
The comparison to chemistry is certainly odd. I think most fresh-faced chemistry graduates would be able to work in a chemistry lab...as a lab assistant. After all, chances are they had a student position doing just that. They wouldn't be able to do anything else since the other positions require post-graduate study. That's an entirely different problem than the one faced by IT managers.
Don’t worthy the worthless. Please.
This is awesome!

As a non-neuroscientist, the WashU course on Coursera about Computational Neuroscience was also really good. Not sure if there's an upcoming offering, but I'd highly recommend taking it. Keep in mind it's heavy on computation on a "simulate neurons and small networks of neurons" level and light on top-down neuroscience
My understanding is that the concussions in soccer come from direct head-to-head collisions (which are not cushioned by helmets) and from heading the ball (which is moving significantly faster than a human being). The fact that you find the similar concussion rates between these two sports surprising is good reason for you to doubt your ability to identify dangerous sports based on your intuition for how violent they are.
Mainly I'm just wondering how someone manages to spend $2,000 with Comcast at once :)
Web Audio also works in Firefox, and IE has pledged to implement it, so things are looking good, even if they aren't quite there yet.
I also tried clicking on the card itself. Why not allow that? Otherwise maybe have a hover div to the right of the input fields that only is displayed while any of the credit card fields are active.
I think this is the best, if not only time, I've seen "security through obscurity" work so well.
Working in-house or teaching results in a very different set of incentives.

Working in-house does not result in different incentives, any more than slip-and-fall defense lawyers want to see tort reform happen, which is not at all.
The player name is used several places in the game to distinguish between different players. This is particularly useful in multi-player games. You can enter any name, the game doesn't care which. Is asking for player name a too high barrier?

Why I’ve Decided to Stop Taking "Content" Gigs And Other Journalists Should, Too
Unpopular opinion but I hope this does go through. It's currently a duopoly, with over 100% of FCF going to the top 2 carriers (yes, over 100%). Smaller carriers can't compete as they don't have the money to spend on R&D. By nixing the merger/acquisition, it's the equivalent of guaranteeing a duopoly for the future. Would welcome any view that contradicts this though - I've still got a lot to learn about this industry.
> I'm told only 2 in 10 mom's snatch kids

Wow... because I know like at least 30 moms and none of them have snatched any kids. To cover the odds, there must be people out there that know a lot of baby snatchers. Those people should be calling the police. :)
Declassified in 1968! Wow. I guess they thought they might use that trick again.

I remember reading that they had to develop ways of describing words that didn't exist in Navajo, like "submarine," which became "iron fish." I'm studying Gregg shorthand right now and have thought about this a lot, since there are quite a few words that can't be found in existing word lists. Kind of a fun challenge, but ideally you come up with something that somebody else could figure out on their own while reading your shorthand. Even though the Navajo were talking in code, things like "iron fish" turned out the same way--easy to remember and easy to decipher if you knew the language, because at that level, facilitating communication was more important than the overly defensive word-guarding stuff.
For the record, I'm not a recruiter (and was sad to see myself labeled as such). I've worked on the recruiting problem pretty extensively for Palantir, but I'm actually a software engineer. These days, my work tends towards writing about our technology and occasionally speaking in public but I'd hate to go down in history as a recruiter. (Not that there's anything wrong with recruiters).
Additional thought: I would love to see an implementation of time-locked secrets for GPUs. They are such massively parallel architectures that this would allow the informant to spend very little time computing the chains, while requiring a lot of time for the public to unlock it.

For concrete numbers: I wrote a Bitcoin miner for AMD GPUs (which was at some point the fastest available). A single ALU on the Radeon HD 6990 can do about 500k SHA256 hash/sec (~1/4 the speed of a high-end CPU core). But it has 3072 ALUs. So the informant could spend ~1 day GPU-time-locking a secret that would take ~2 years to CPU-unlock!
