It's easy to make a USB device to randomly type dangerous things, open URLs and download, then start applications (anything you could do with a keystroke). That sort of thing is achievable with an Atmel chip wired to a USB plug. See http://macetech.com/blog/?q=node/46

I don't know whether it's possible for such a device to snoop on other devices. I suspect not, unless it is a hub which contains the bad firmware. It might be interesting for capturing passwords, then playing them back later.

Of course any device could compromise the device driver using buffer overflows, etc, to gain control of some aspect of the computer.
The product manager below clarified that it's a 1 year free trial... so you're pretty spot on.

If you think of ADT definitions as defining how you construct types then you get a natural method for destructing them or using them automatically. This could be pattern matching or it could be explicit functions

More concretely, even without pattern matching, so long as, for instance, these three functions are all defined

pair : a -> b -> Pair a b
pi1 : Pair a b -> a
pi2 : Pair a b -> b

You'll be equivalently expressive.

I took a Nikon 180mm f2.8 [1] to the world cup and it was phenomenal[2]. It's less bulky than the 70-200. Now, if this Lytro has real good ISO range and decent glass, then it might be good for a travel kit. Just depends on how big it really is.

I agree with you that 100 years is not very long - I chose that number because a lot of communities in America aren't a lot older than that. The idea of a suburb didn't really catch on until after WWII, so we don't really have much data on those beyond 60 years. And even beyond that, a lot of areas in the midwest/west weren't very settled until around the turn of the century, so permanent structures from before then are not common.
I think all weather conditions should be tested?

Of course there are outliers, but on the whole you want to have a name which is unique, rememberable, and able to be found through google without having to wade through a sea of unrelated items. There are anecdotes of people in this very thread who tried to download the game and couldn't because they were getting too many other games with a similar name. I think it's hard to argue that the name is working for his benefit here.

The bottom line: Picking a name like Letters decreases your chances of success. It doesn't eliminate it (like you said, Dot's is very popular), but it's something that should be avoided, and it's something that is easily avoided.
I'm getting too old to care what platform (language, framework) other people prefer, but I suspect that if you were to go to any given web development conference, empirical evidence would not square with OS X being "unsuitable" for web development. Beyond that, I suspect you could web development done on pretty much any desktop OS these days. I'm sure you could do web development on Chrome OS, if you wanted to.

This strikes me more as "This is different than what I'm used to!" or "I don't much care for this." than "This is unsuitable." Emacs is available on OS X. Beyond the initial server configuration, I'd say the large majority of packages your average web developer is installing are from NPM, RubyGems, CPAN, etc.
This will also depend on the suburb and which city its located near, home prices in the surrounding neighborhood etc.

i.e if you built a new city like this, within 15-20 mins public transit of nyc you would get much closer to the ROI your looking at.

Hell now that I think of it Toll Brothers is doing that in Hoboken. A 900sqft 2bdrm costs just under 1m.

Yes, for some I have distinct memories of a particular event from when I was about 18-24 months. It was climbing into a 'fort' made of a disassembled fence made by my older siblings.

I don't remember anything else at all from before I was five.

All I can think of was that it must have been very exciting.
Personally I would never allow any app to use my microphone all the time, effectively being able to monitor a certain area around the device it is running on all the time. This is gross.

This is all the more true for an app from a company that did transfer sensitive user data to third parties in the past.[0]

In Germany, under certain circumstances, it is also illegal to make sound recordings of persons without their knowledge.[1] This might be the case in other jurisdictions too.

Not exactly the same... patent trolls don't do anything, and more often than not their patents aren't really novel inventions.

These funds, however, lent Argentina money, while the country promised to pay back all of it, plus interest. I wouldn't like to get back less than I was promised, or even less than I lent in the first place.
> It also makes PHP statically typed.

I disagree. PHP finds this perfectly acceptable:

class Foo {}
class Bar {}
function foo(Foo $x) {}
function bar(Bar $x) { foo($x); }

PHP is clearly checking types (actually, class tags) at runtime, every time a function/method is called. That's dynamic typing, not static typing.

Crucially, static types can be erased before execution without affecting the behaviour of a program: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_erasure
> Argentina issued bonds under New York law.

Until I read this, I assumed that international bonds were issued under international law, with the World Bank as the arbitrator. With the US as both lender and arbitrator, it seems to give them a lot of power.
I've been following JWZ for years, he worked for Netscape, got his money, got out and bought a bar.
Formula 1 cars have energy recovery for kinetic energy (regenerative braking) and thermal energy (motor generator unit in turbocharger shaft). Both of these technologies have potential to be used for buses and other heavy vehicles that move in an urban environment.

As an example, my regular bus route is 50% highway at 80 km/h and 50% urban start-stop traffic. The city buses have a huge turbo diesel or natural gas engine, and the turbo takes about 3 seconds to spool up. At 80 km/h, drivers tend to be pumping on and off the throttle, purging the turbo pressure repeatedly. This is horrible for fuel efficiency.

Ideally, an electric motor should do the initial few seconds acceleration, while the turbo is being spooled up using the electric motor attached. When the turbo is spools up, the internal combustion engine should be slowly introduced by adding fuel according to the correct stoichiometric ratio. At cruise speeds, engine power could be regulated by harvesting energy off the turbine rather than pumping the gas pedal which purges the whole turbo.

A city bus should be able to operate at or near optimum stoichiometric conditions at all times, saving a ton of gas and emissions. Currently there's a huge puff of black diesel smoke every time the bus leaves a bus stop.

These are very exciting times for anyone who is interested in motor sports technologies applied to efficient transport.
Yes, that's the idea :-)
Did you note the part where I said I "usually use CentOS"? Also the part where I said, "I didn't have a choice" I was stuck using Debian, and hence had to compile from source because someone technically incompetent decided to select avlib instead of ffmpeg.

I've visited Uruguay, and on one trip when I told my hosts I planned to go over to Buenos Aires for a day, they said I shouldn't go because "the people there are on crack" and I would get kidnapped. I'm pretty sure there's a significant nationalism (you're right, not racism) problem, which the capitalization of "Them" in the post I replied to felt evocative of.
That's an interesting viewpoint that I hadn't really considered before.

Of course, the US as a whole just isn't that old compared to most of Europe. So it's hard for us to have buildings that are 300 or 500 years old - because no one was here that long ago. Not saying our current buildings won't last that long, we just don't know yet. And the idea that they are just going to crumble to the ground one day because they are made of wood seems a bit misguided to me.

I don't have tons of free time between my job and family, and anything I want to learn has to be "for profit". Meaning, I want to learn things that will keep me or get me employed (outside the startup/San Fran world).

Do, I just beef up more on .NET to cover things I don't do at work or try to expand into like Python? What about front-end, stick with MVC view templates/jquery or try Angular?

Argentina should never have handled the bonds under NY law and without control of the bondholder's list. That mistake is costing them dearly.

The only reason they can't pay everyone but the holdouts [e.g. selective default] is because of the fact they handled them under NY law after the 2001 default. :/
AppReview360 Updated: iTunes App Reviews for iOS
Have you seen the costs of similarly large software projects? It's actually a figure well within those margins.

For the same insurance company I quoted, the people in question estimated that modernizing their system would cost $500 million USD in 1997 dollars and take 6 years without considering continuous upgrades of code and infrastructure. And it's likely that this company's infrastructure was probably much cleaner and uniform that goverment agencies'.
Is there the equivalent for Windows?
Yeah, that's very much not what the World Bank is about.
My assumption is that most of the charging for electric vehicles (aside from stopping at a supercharger) will go on at night which is off peak for our grid now. At least for the short term future. I don't know that solar will help in that case. The adoption of electric vehicles seems to be slow enough that it should give us time to identify the problems and attempt to come up with solutions. That rate could significantly increase if the model 3 delivers on it's promises. It probably still take major investments in our electrical infrastructure to support a majority of vehicles becoming electric.
In a language like Python you can consider there to be one type called, say, ThePythonType, or which all types are a variant. Then all objects have type ThePythonType.

A more useful type system would have "union types". They differ from sum types in that you can construct a union type from existing types in an ad-hoc manner. For example, if you have a function that returns a string or nil you can construct a union type "Union of string or nil". To do this with a sum type you'd have to have a common super type of string and nil and no other types.

There are also intersection types, about which I know very little.
Another of those, how i didn't think about this moments!

Not to bring too many facts into the discussion, but Uruguay and Argentina dont have similar racial composition:

Uruguay have 12% non-white, Argentina only 3%

The consequences of that will last way beyond Instagram the product. There's meaning there that goes beyond advertisement dollars.
Their risk profile is quite different from Transmeta. Transmeta was more of an all or nothing thing. Either they were better at running x86 in which case they easily could capture big segments of the market, or they were not in which case no segment of the market would be interested in them.

The Mill on the other hand can just start with the segment of the market that is the least inconvenienced by having to recompile their code and expand from there. So basically it's easier for the Mill to gain a foothold (build the best cpu for one segment) but harder to climb up from there.

If I read this right this is assuming that all current gasoline usage is converted into electrical usage. It's not like that would happen over night though, or possibly ever. Also, can PV help at night when a majority of charging should occur?
Every time I found something I liked about Laravel, it turned out to be a Symfony component. Every time I found something I hated, there was a Symfony component that did it better.

>* But mostly small roads follow old field boundaries that can be very old and bendy.* //

The places I know of - Lincolnshire and East Lothian - where roads follow field boundaries have a lot of straight roads with 90deg bends. Interesting you suggest that field boundary following would make roads more "bendy" (suggesting non-straight edges and non right-angles).

Perhaps the fields of Salisbury weren't dissected for inheritance purposes or are older and follow more natural lines?
> Founding our own town is tempting - rural land is cheap

You guys in the US are so lucky! Large areas of land all for the taking.

In my country, most of the land is built full. Cities and towns do not end, they just touch other towns and the residences continue. What land remains is either designated forest land, or for agriculture. You are not allowed to build residences on those.
Absolutely agree. Why was this downvoted again?
This is the second default in 13 years, with (as you mention) no strong regional bank to support them, and (most likely) in a country without the political willpower to push through reforms to prevent this kind of thing happening again.
Brazil and Argentina had very similar economic plans to get out of hyperinflation from the 80's - both created a new currency whose value was attached to the USD.

There was a subtle difference: Brazil forbade domestic contracts in dollar (with a few exceptions, mainly leasing contracts for imported vehicles). So when the market forces kicked in and Brazil was forced to devalue its artificially priced new currency, the impact was not that big.

In Argentina, most contracts were underwritten in dollars, so the government delayed devaluation as much as possible. As the result, when it finally adjusted the exchange rate to more realistic values, the guy who bought one home was bound to pay 3 or 4. The government solution was the first default (by passing a law saying you could pay these contracts with a huge discount). This is why they are in this mess, some creditors are fighting to receive the full value.

Defaulting is error on both sides, the borrower failed in risk analysis just like the debtor.

The problem is that sovereign nations don't have clear bankrupt procedure and these hedge funds are holding country as hostage for their past mistakes despite the fact that majority of borrowers accepted debt restructuring that was arranged and accepted haircuts.

If the debt and its interest grows past what country gdp can ever grow, they can never pay back and they either became debt slaves forever or keep defaulting. This is attempt at debt slavery in national level. (if person can't pay his debt ever, should he and his family lineage be responsible for that debt forever?)

I think it's reasonable to expect that in these cases banks should accept haircuts and settle like wast majority of investors did. Upholding business deal is ethically less important than country of millions being able to continue their life. The logical cost of country not being able to pay for their dept should be higher interest rates in future, not shutting country down.

That isn't reasonable or rational behavior. You can't seize top level domains. You shouldn't be allowed to, regardless of the reasons. You break the human-readable internet and DNS if this is allowed.

Some countries will go along with such a seizure, some won't, and the internet will fragment.
The peso has been all but failed for some years now, due to the falsification of inflation figures by the central bank, and the divergence between the real/market exchange rate and the "offical" exchange rate. The result has been fairly simple: people use USD.
As I understand this funds didn't lent Argentina anything, they bought the bonds in the open market at a huge discount.
> In a language like Python you can consider there to be one type called, say, ThePythonType, or which all types are a variant. Then all objects have type ThePythonType.

This is only if you reject the notion of a dynamic type (as most type theorists do, but programmers do not). Otherwise, Python has a rich type system that is checked at run-time. It lacks sum types, but we could easily imagine a dynamically checked realization.
The internet responds to censorship as damage and routes around it.
