I love TST, but I find that on my current screen it takes too much space to be actually usable. I suppose it is great for people with relatively small screens where you have browser maximized practically always, and on very large screens where you can still comfortably fit two windows side-by-side even with TST. But I'm stuck firmly in the middle, where maximized browser seems waste, but I can't really fit anything useful on the side if I'm using TST.
I think that's a pretty good idea!
They do age slower.

There are two effects here.

First, gravitational time dilation slows the on board tick rate deep in the gravity well. As you get out of the well your on board tick rate increases relative to the surface due to decreasing strength of the gravitational field.

Second, motional time dilation slows the on board tick rate down as your velocity increases. This effect always slows the on board tick rate down and can never increase it relative to the surface. However, the magnitude of the affect decreases. As you move to higher orbit your orbital velocity decreases and so does the motional time dilation.

There are a few useful reference points which help to think about tick rate on board various satellites relative to the tick rate on the surface.

1. On the hypothetical orbit at altitude zero gravitational time dilation relative to the surface has no effect and tick rate slows down solely due to motional time dilation. On board tick rate is lower than for a stationary observer on the surface.

2. On the geostationary orbit motional time dilation has no affect (since relative velocity is zero) and tick rate increases solely due to reduced gravitational time dilation (we're further out the gravity well). On board tick rate here is higher than for a stationary observer on the surface.

3. Somewhere between these two extremes is an orbit where the two effects balance out and the on board tick rate is the same as the tick rate on the surface. This occurs roughly one half of Earth's radius (~3186km) up above the surface.

ISS is merely ~423km above the surface and so it's the tick-rate-slowing motional time dilation that matters and their clocks run slower from our point of view.

GPS is over 20,000km above the surface and it's the tick-rate-increasing effect of the reduced gravitational time dilation that matters so onboard tick rate is higher from out point of view.

This is just my advice - I teach, and must provide transcripts for my videos for students who are deaf, blind, or with learning disabilities.

I write my scripts out when I do my videos. It helps me prepare the lesson plan. I place all the code I'll type in there too. Then I record. And then if I deviate from my script, I can just fix it up. It doesn't need to be a 1:1 thing.

But I find that this really helps speed up the process because I have a plan in place, and the script can easily turn into the transcript.

Just thought I'd share to see if there's anything you can steal from this process.

I'm from Belgium, Karel De Gucht (who tried to get ACTA through and the guy who is obviously behind TTIP and CETA also) is also from Belgium, here are some things i know about him or his methods:

Investigation for tax fraud and insider trading ( http://goo.gl/wnBN95 ). He is never going to get punished (the judges are his friends). If he sues me about writing this, i'm probably fucked

These initiatives are trade agreements, that's why the EU can keep the meetings / documents a secret. Also, votes are anonymous when it comes to trade agreements.

As the guy of ACTA, he would simply ignore the democratic rejection of the parlement: http://goo.gl/ucrnNX ).

Here are some videos where he was obviously caught lying about ACTA and the economic importance of it (an interview): http://goo.gl/NG6hOq

He also send a letter in the past to the European Commission to defend ACTA and lied about ACTA: http://goo.gl/8AOmSX

PS. He is the reason why i don't trust the EU i live in. Everyone knows about the above (tax fraud, ...), but nothing happens. He is now getting promoted to head of foreign policy of the EU

PS2. There is nothing you can do about Karel De Gucht... He will try again with another agreement in the future, if this would fail. ( ACTA became CETA became TIPP ). I'm worried that people will resist less every time a new "trade-agreement" comes up

This deal is just a press release. I imagine that an enterprise willing to pay up for Apple hardware, is not the kind of enterprise to settle for vendor-lock in mediocrity in software, while the PHB's buying enterprise class mediocrity from IBM will not pay up for Apple hardware.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you could cover fairly wide range of hardware with two generic drivers, AC'97 and HDA.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but having worked in a lot of highly IP sensitive jobs, don't attempt to showcase your work from previous jobs. There is virtually no way to do this that can't be interpreted incorrectly. Unless your employer has granted an open source license on your work product even talking about technical details can be tricky.

I've literally stopped interviews when the applicant starts getting too close to what appears to be protected output.

OK. So it's because there are multiple markets. We want multiple markets because competition, but multiple markets mean latency which means HFT using info from one exchange as a signal in another exchange.

If I could wave a magic wand then we would have one exchange which was run as a public service, by some beneficent person with no profit motive. I don't have a magic wand :(

I agree that the current situation is the result of the market structure (multiple competing markets) but I don't agree that this is how markets are supposed to work. The reason I say this is that people with no knowledge of market microstructure (e.g. ordinary people or people with undergraduate degrees in economics) would not expect this kind of 'arbitrage' to be possible. I hesitate to call it front-running because this is a term better reserved for instances where a client relationship and non-public information exists.

I take your point that the situation we have now (multiple exchanges without specialists) may be better than we had before (a single exchange with specialists) but I still don't think it's _fair_.

I wonder what would happen if I could wave my magic wand and have multiple exchanges with no specialists and zero latency...
It seems to be the way that freedom activists are pushing for. I am not aware of other formally proposed plans.

Thanks for the link! There is even a nice discussion of the explicit solutions for Inverter up to 7x7's on the page:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LightsOutPuzzle.html

Almost nothing about the solver would need to change in order to support computation over GF(p), which suggests that someone should create a version of Lights Out / Inverter which cycles through a prime number of colors rather than just off/on.
I show people screenshots of the designs (I'm an EE). It's not like they can reverse engineer a multilayer PCB from a screen grab of the CAD program. The only people who had a problem with this were NASA, but other customers have been understanding of the "I can't show you much of my NASA work because they wouldn't let me keep copies" line.
nounaut has the technological objection to this idea pretty much covered, but to add on to that, one of my problems is that Google has shown in many occasions that they simply don't understand why you would be concerned about keeping certain things private. That's what happened with Google Buzz, and it's something they didn't consider with their idiotic "real names" policy. The fact that you can hide your reviews today is great, but there's no forward secrecy on that. Google has shown a willingness to make privacy decisions for you in the past, and so I see no reason to trust that they won't come up with something new in the future that completely defeats the "hide my reviews" setting.
It's also a fiction book.
In fairness, there are a lot of great programmers who work on projects they really believe in and spend all of their available free time dedicated to them. Even if they're for the company/enterprise/startup they work for.
What makes sense would be to tax based on its usage of a limited space. Land is exceptionally limited, especially in urban environments, so taxing its use makes sense.

The space of inventions is also obviously limited, since it's often extremely challenging to work around a technical patent.

But is music a limited space? Prose? Software? In those cases it seems like the benefits of a "property tax on copyright" would be minimal.
This one is turning out to be pretty good. [1]

It's definitely tough showcasing some of your work, and this is a question that I was curious about as well. In my case, there have been certain projects that I have worked on in the past where I have been under a confidentiality agreement. However, what I built is something that I'm immensely proud of and would love to show off.

I do like some of the suggestions other people have mentioned about recording a screencast of the product (if you're allowed to do it). Its definitely a great idea, although if you're programming something in say Ruby On Rails or PHP on the backend, how can you show off code that you wrote and then refactored?

I'm curious what the more seasoned hiring managers would want to see?

Funny I think a lot of people would say the opposite. That they'd rather the grid code was in their CSS than in their HTML. Makes it much easier to change layouts if your grid code is defined in the CSS itself. Plus you get to manage them per screen-size however you want. To each their own.

How do you consider the investment costs involved in developing a patent?

This is where things get challenging. The software industry could probably get along without patents altogether. The pharma industry, on the other hand, absolutely depends upon them. When a new drug is discovered and patented (which is part of the problem - drugs are discovered, not invented, which makes patenting seem a bit odd in the first place) the drug company has a 25-year window of time to develop it. This is actually a tight deadline as studies take a long time and often can face major back-to-square-one setbacks in the form of unexpected complications. All of this costs millions upon millions of dollars.

Now obviously drug companies would be willing to pay a handsome sum to keep ahold of their patents. But if you tax based on value, the value of a proven drug patent would be obscene, and that would cut deeply into the payoff for these pharma companies.

Besides this being just a traditional PR move by both companies (Apple doesn't have traction in the enterprise market, except for CEOs wanting the IT dept to support their iPhones -- and IBM doesn't have traction in the consumer market, nothing could be more boring than IBM products), this is two companies with cultures on opposite extreme sides of the spectrum.

"We do not support reclassification of broadband as a telecommunications service under Title II for at least four reasons:
...
reclassification of broadband under Title II will create a huge cloud of uncertainty over the entire broadband industry, thereby retarding investment and innovation."

I would be willing to buy this if there was actually reasonable investment to begin with.

I'm from ND, and we have about 15~ rural cooperative telecom companies. If you take a look at this map: http://www.dakotacarrier.com/network.asp

You can see their respective boundaries. The white area is the major cities. Bismarck, Fargo, Grand Forks, etc. Guess who has fiber? Not the major cities! BEK is offering 200Mb fiber AND cable TV for 65 dollars a month in a lot of their coop zone, and it continues to expand. Fargo, the largest metro area has Cable One, which offers 50/10 connections for 70 dollars a month and has a bandwidth cap of 50GB.

Now, a lot of that infrastructure has come on the back of free money from the federal government, but major ISPs got that too.

If major ISPs actually used their pools of cash to build out infrastructure instead of actively trying to remove fiber from their competition, then I'd be more inclined to believe this.

As I see it, major ISPs have completely mismanaged their position in the market and instead of making a reasonable best effort to keep people happy, they've done the bare minimum and have abused the technical ignorance of most residential customers for their benefit. It's for reasons like that that I support Title II reclassification.
Except thats demonstrably not what has happened. Market making has gotten cheaper, not more expensive. Spreads have tightened, not gotten wider. Fees have gone down not up. Literally every cost to trading has been reduced.

The single biggest cost to any market maker is their market risk. Latency is exceedingly cheap in comparison. Any increase in latency raises market risk thereby raising their biggest cost.
Trade negotiations are more likely to be free from backlash if they are at least open. The secrecy is the biggest hindrance here.

Logbuch: Netzpolitik (also German, but best Internet policy podcast I've found so far) http://logbuch-netzpolitik.de/

Of course I listen to many more non-tech related podcasts. What I noticed just now after going through my feed reader, is that I seem to be listening to about as many German ones as English ones, even though the total number of English podcasts out there should be higher.

The only reason I can think of is that (for whatever reason) German podcasters seem to concern themselves more with audio quality. For instance, I just can't listen to TWiST or the kalzumeus podcast, because the audio hurts my ears (at least with headphones on, car is a different matter). There are a bunch of English podcasts that I stopped listening to because of audio quality issues, while I can't remember a single German one for which this was the case.

A lot of "enterprise software" is stuff that you will never ever get on your home PC. Your employer only let you have access to the software under the NDA and IP agreement you signed, and unless they explicitly say otherwise, that also includes showing how it runs.
