What about primary education? Are you against that too? Do you think every taxpayer should foot the bill even if they don't and never will have children?

These are serious questions.
Very surprised that a search for my local police department and a few terms like 'stingray' or 'cell phone tracking/privacy/tapping/gps' yielded more results than expected along with a state SC case initiated because of the actions taken by our department. Not specific to Stingray usage, but I still filed a request.

I hope this campaign successfully increases the awareness and insight into the fact that this is happening everywhere and has been for close to a decade.

I am in fact married with kids. And my statement was based on my observations. I can make such statements based on my observations no? Or do I have quote a scientific research?
As others have pointed out, it's deterministic in the sense that the memory is reclaimed when the ref count goes to zero, and the ref count is always well-defined. I would have used the word "predictable", in that `delete foo` will always release memory, but `foo.Decrement()` may or may not, and local reasoning may not suffice.

I can't find where the rocket engine mentioned in the article is from. Ariane 6 will go to just more solids. In my opinion it is a massive step backwards, as solids need massive infrastructure because they are moved around fully fueled, they have low performance, they can not be throttled or shut down, they shake a lot. So you can't land with one, and you can't just refuel and go either.
I once spoke with a doctor who told me, "People like you worry me. From the outside, your life is going so well so nobody will ever reach out to you. But on the inside, you are in absolute turmoil."

Your excellent comment brought those words back to me. Thank you for that - this is a lesson that I seriously need to internalize.
Video to Racy even for Rap?
Is this video just to racy? Is it OK because the target audience are adults or does it still cross a line.
1. It's great that you are asking this question. Marketing is an essential part of any start up -- both from creating the product that the market wants and also in promoting it.
As a marketer, it's not something I see enough of.

2. Try LinkedIn, startup networking events, social media (Twitter is great to see who is in your area), blogs, etc. You can ask for recommendations as well. Once you have money, start looking at public relations and marketing firms because they often know the industry better, dealing with multiple clients and a staff full of marketers.

How does observable wrap values? I see a few things:

list = Observable []
list.push 'blah'

and

isOrange = Observable false
isOrange = true // This obviously doesn't work this way...

Do you poll the value? Or do you check the type of the value and wrap/proxy methods that would normally change the value?
From my experience $5 DO is more robust than most shared plans. However the trade off is that you have to setup and maintain everything yourself including security.
Don't worry about your lack of language proficiency. Some of my best friends have been foreigners with VERY poor English skill. Part of the fun of our friendship is interacting with a foreign culture, and finding ways to express ideas and concepts in new ways that might not necessarily be language contingent.

One of our goals was for Hamlet to be suitable for really small and simple web apps, without any big framework or ecosystem. There's still a lot of work for us to do on the ease of getting started (both with or without node) so if you run into trouble or have any comments let us know.
Have you looked at IE's developer tools recently? They are way ahead of FF, and in some aspects even Chrome. I'd use IE11 for debugging if it would run on OSX :)
In Sweden, we have a state monopoly on all alcoholic beverages, except for bars and restaurants. We have very high taxes on liquor, not so much on beer and wine. The monopoly is called Systembolaget (The System Company). They are among the biggest buyers of alcoholic beverages in the world, and they have a mean assortment.

Private import is regulated, but it's way more relaxed within the EU countries. Systembolaget will (must) import anything you want which they don't carry, and the process is generally very convenient.

While Swedes love bashing "Bolaget", I think a lot of people are quite satisfied - the opening hours are a little cumbersome (closing at 6-8 PM on weekdays, 3 PM Saturdays, closed on Sundays) but IMO that's counterbalanced by the great assortment.

We used to have a monopoly on the production of liquor as well. It was called Vin & Sprit (Wine & Spirits) and was the company who created Absolut Vodka. Absolut sold very well and they couldn't leave a profit (or something like that). They put all profits into advertising instead, making Absolut a very well known brand. The sitting administration recently sold the company to Pernod Ricard.

The only thing I'd like is maybe a gradle build for ADT. I like my workflow I just hate placing required android libs on the path by hand, so time consuming. I only test on devices so the emulator thing to me is really a non issue.

That said, I would love a "simulator" since it would probably mean that Google has wrapped the JDK with an Android interface which frees me from having to every use Swing/SWT/any other java gui toolkit here ever again.

It's not very common for bicycle riders in the US to explicitly carry insurance. Your homeowner's or automobile insurance would typically cover the value of the bike and any damage you might cause in an accident.

In the case of freeze distillation, the punishment would be for evasion of (Federal and state) excise taxes, along with distillation without the proper permits. If some law enforcement agency busted your freezer, they'd probably come up with some other violations on top of those obvious ones.

In reality, I think the likelihood of a "freezer bust" and consequent punishment is pretty low. Moonshine busts are generally carried out on the state level, and the typical charges are possession and transportation of untaxed spirits.

I find the scale of these improvements simultaneously inspiring and troubling. What does it imply that you can make this sort of improvement in a year? It's inspiring because it suggests how brilliant these people are, and it showcases the power of human ingenuity, etc. It's troubling because it makes this improvement seem like low-hanging fruit. What other amazing things still are waiting to happen in relatively short time scales, simply because no one is thinking about them in the right way?

I think the paranoia is mostly due to the practice being so illegal for so long that nobody has any idea how it works or contact with it, and now assumes that there must be some good reason other than "we forgot to fix that after Prohibition".

And perhaps the authorities encourage this view to protect tax revenues (which are substantial.)

So you are useless if you don't have a college education? Doomed to poverty and failure? And that not being able to afford college (of all things) constitutes "can't take care of?" That's the implication.

Personally I think too many people have a college education.

They are, at least in some markets. Where I live (Boston), two of the largest grocery stores (Stop&Shop, RocheBrothers) both have delivery services where you order online. And I know there exists grocery delivery in Chicago, Seattle, and other major cities as well.

Well played to the MS Surface team, I hope these fixes make it to production and stay there on the Surface 4/Surface 5.

Where do you recommend I buy a Surface 3? I can buy online but is it better to get it from a brick and mortar shop?
An ATM bitcoin to cash manufacturer is testing the functionality right now and another one is planning to integrate it when they implement the payment protocol.

There's also other users that can check either inside the GreenAddress wallet or at https://greenaddress.it/instant

it's called GreenAddress because when I thought about the concept, end of 2012 beginning of 2013 it wasn't yet associated with the bad reputation or MtGox double spends and I felt anyhow that it could be improved (which I think we did).

The modus operandi of the platform is different from the original GreenAddress concept as the instant confirmation comes out of band and is based on multisignature allowing the system to prevent users double spends.

However, like the original GreenAddress concept, it is based on third party trust, there is no magic bullet.
You're going to have to actually provide real information to back up such an extreme claim if you want to come across as believable.

What is inherent about the credit card system, at even a modest flat rate of 7%, that makes it unsustainable exactly? An examination by logic says that it is very sustainable, banking history says that it is very sustainable.

It's absolutely no different in concept than a bank loan or line of credit, so long as the lending agency vets their customers properly based on the ability to pay. If you do that, it's an extraordinarily convenient and useful system.

Banks have been making money on 7% loans for centuries. There is absolutely nothing unique about borrowing money on the spot via a credit card based on a previously set credit line.

> I really want an open source billion transistor FPGA running at 1 GHz that doesn’t hold my hand with a bunch of proprietary middleware, so that I can program it in a parallel language like Go or MATLAB (Octave).

I fail to see how not having proprietary middleware will enable you to program an FPGA in Go or MATLAB.

FPGA's are not well suited to being programmed in conventional languages (and go is not a parallel language, it employs a clever model that may give you that impression but under the hood it is fairly regular, nothing you could not achieve using co-routines and threads in a different language, maybe syntactically cleaner and easier to understand). MATLAB might be more feasible but still not an easy match. You could conceivably make an FPGA co-processor though that you access from those languages through some library.

If you want to program an FPGA in something that looks like a high level language syntactically there are a number of solutions:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5603285/c-to-hardware-com...

And some newer developments. But none of those change the essence of the chip.

I'm not sure how to convey the difference between an FPGA and something like a high level language any better than 'imagine all your code executing at once'.

FPGAs are something you tell what to be, not what to do (and high level languages tell CPUs what to do, not what to be).
Thanks, I knew that was the mechanism but never knew it was 10%.
I don’t see anything in here that’s specific to Silicon Valley or to founders. Is there any evidence that founders have a greater incidence of mental issues than the greater population?

By which I am not asking, do we have things to worry about. Of course we do. But do we have greater reason to worry than a single mother, a middle-aged construction worker, or a 70-year-old accountant?
It's interesting you mention this because a lot of typical SaaS metrics don't apply to us. Or at least they're not primary concerns. In many cases we try to minimize user engagement. Engagement is time and time is money.

Similarly, when we talk about NPS to SaaS founders, they seem less interested (for good reasons I imagine). But NPS still does seem quite universal.
I think that Google style guide is too detailed for being enforced company-wide, and it actually has a few portability problems (i.e. Visual Studio doesn't support constexpr yet), but I actually agree with about half of the points, and none of them occur to me as a deal breaker.

I'd rather have a very small company-wide style guide of maybe 10 points which mainly cares about the public interface of a project. One project might not be able to switch to C++11, but another new project from scratch might decide to make use of all the C++11 bells'n'whistles.

When choosing 3rd party libs to integrate with my own code I have made the experience that the simpler the better. Please don't use exceptions or make them optional (some platforms don't have support for exceptions or got them very late, some still have a performance penalty), provide a way to override threading, timing, file i/o, dynamic memory allocation and other platform-specific functions with my own versions, bonus points for providing a C interface so that I can write my own C++ wrapper which fits my own style guide.

Great to see Microsoft listening to issues with the Surface and attempting to fix them. Hopefully they can polish it up into a machine that can be competitive in the market.
You certainly can steal, threaten the staff, or set the place on fire. To the extent that shop and its people are recognized and protected by laws and government agencies such as the police, you'll likely face serious repercussions. But say the shop is liquidated in Chapter 7 proceedings by Bankruptcy Court, appeals exhausted, ownership of all assets transferred, the building condemned. The shop no longer exists, and in fact may be lawfully demolished.

You could setup a table in the middle of a busy intersection, put some items on it, and declare it to be a shop. That does't make it a shop (or for that matter yours).

What is "ownership" absent law? Is it something you can measure, like gravity, velocity, field strength, pH or temperature? Without the law, a manifestation of government, ownership is simply a belief (which is the antecedent of the law).
I hope these fixes make it to production and stay there on the Surface 4/Surface 5.

The sooner the better. I'm looking at getting a Surface 3 when the beefier CPUs are available, and would love to get one that fixes the issues describe by the previous PA.
What do you mean "the success of PUA" ?

Do you mean success in attracting women? We can't take pick up artists at face value when they say how many women they've seduced. How do we know they don't exaggerate? Even if they don't, how can we rule out that their success rates are below average, and they succeed with brute force (asking out lots and lots of women)?

Or, by success, are you referring to the popularity of pick up artistry? Again, we don't have numbers. I suspect the number of pick up artists are very low.

But lets assume it is popular, or at least desired. If I was to guess as to why, it's because people want the easy way out. Actually giving a shit about people, taking time to learn their unique differences, caring for them and doing right by them, that takes so much work. It would be so much easier if there were just 3 steps to making anyone your friend.

But there's not. You want something that doesn't exist. But that doesn't stop scam artists from exploiting your hope that it does.

The one thing that nobody seems to appreciate when it comes to pushing forward towards retina displays is just how many more pixels, how much more memory, and how much slower everything is on the same hardware.

Yet, anyone who has ever been a gamer knows that changing your resolution has a huge impact on your FPS.

It is foolish to think that Microsoft can make the screen much higher resolution, have a similar chip, and not have serious performance problems in terms of responsiveness.

I'm sure Microsoft can get a lot of this fixed and they will, but like the smartphone revolution, sometimes you have to wait for hardware to catch up with software or you have to write the software to take full advantage of the hardware.

Which instantly expands the topic and provides you with other things to chat about, which was exactly the point ;-)

I would qualify myself as slightly introvert but adequately sociable (I value my 'alone time' but I'm very easy around people as well), and personally I think smalltalk is the easiest part of making friends, there's an infinite amount of things you can talk about. Just start out with lighthearted topics, don't overthink the situation (it's just chit-chat), try to tease and joke a little, and probably the best advice for geeks: forget about talking about nerdy stuff like sci-fi, games, computers etc. Most people (especially girls) have no affinity with them, know nothing about them, and might get the impression you are stuck in your own world if they are the only thing you can come up with. The things that are really important or interesting to you will come up some time later, they usually don't make for good 'get to know each other' conversation.

When Observable is declared with a type (especially an array) it sets up some wrapped methods to simplify working with it.

The wrappers also set up automatic dependency resolution so you can do cool things like:

list = Observable []

reversed = Observable ->
list.map reverse

list.push 'blah'

reversed() # => ['halb']

There's no polling, the observable notifies all observers immediately when the value changes.
Yes, as I mentioned above, I see their Github account repos. However, all the repos there are either Github pages, white papers, or forks of Ethereum projects.

They've evidently deleted or made private the https://github.com/project-douglas/eris repo whose license is referred to the in white paper.

Presumably, that's the repo they refer to when they describe this accomplishment in the white paper:
