If the recruiter can't tell me a salary range for the job up front, I'm not interested. Why should I waste days of my life interviewing only to find out at the end that they're offering me the wonderful opportunity to take a 50% pay cut?
I've never had to do it, but I know Apple has an official process for transferring apps, and I believe they've even made it easier to do these days than it used to be. Had I the need to do it, I'd probably go looking through the iTunes Connect documentation.
truly laughable,

also when your primary screen is a 27 inch 1080p wide panel display as he seems to have in the picture, you probably aren't feeling as constrained as most people with their 4 year old low res 15 inch laptops.

>That might seem mystifying to you and me, but that really seems to be the case.

It's not mystifying. A larger screen looks cooler in the store, and most people won't realize what a pain in the ass it is until they've already bought it and been using it for a few days. And, few people will ever make the connection that that enormous screen is why their phone is dead before they leave work to go home in the evening.

It just means that increasing sales does not necessarily correlate with increased user satisfaction. Too much of a disparity there, for too long, and the market will eventually just collapse - no one will want to buy new phones anymore.

(FWIW, I might be already there - I love my Nexus 4, was waiting for the Nexus 6, but now it looks like I won't be getting it after all.)
I was willing to download it, but the first line "Note: Works only with iPhone and iPad. Does not work with iPod Touch" prevented me. I have a modern iPod touch (same generation as iPhone 5). Why won't your app work on it?
5 years of tax loop holes may make it worth it.
They're hopeful they'll see a prototype in five years, but for now it's just a concept.

Maybe the idea works out really well, that'd be amazing. But "breakthrough" almost suggests they've successfully tested some device, which doesn't seem to be the case.
Acquisitions seem like a more likely approach.
Yeah, the name of flash memory ruins the shorthand of "memory" meaning "volatile memory". As you point out, "storage" is still a good term for persistent memory.
Regenerative braking makes a lot of sense for garbage trucks, they start and stop all the time, so burn a lot of fuel getting going just to stop 50-100 ft. down the road.
Despite how backward Queensland is when it comes to our laws, the support offered for heroin addicts is quite amazing. Suboxone treatment costing $40 a fortnight instead of thousands per month, a 24 hour free needles exchange (next to the police headquarters funnily enough, but they leave you alone), amazing counselling services.

Hell, they've just started distributing Narcan to regular people, so you can stop an overdose instantly. I've always found it quite amazing how much they do to support addicts, and it's an excellent thing.
I've gone back to a single screen. It turns out, using tools like SizeUp/Spectactle/etc. were all I needed to balance the two tasks I spend 90% of my time multitasking between - coding and the output.

When I had a second monitor on, it had my IMs, emails, Twitter, etc. and became a source of distraction more than anything.

Anecdotally, I've worked in bullpen offices where everyone has a second screen and consistently see Facebook, YouTube, or Netflix being actively used while coding. Not as passive background noise, but constant code, fb, code, skip commercial, etc.

It makes sense to me that by having more screens, either on our desks, in our hands, or on our walls, we're doing less while pretending to do more.
I think my prof's main point was that the volume of waste could be problematic. If a fusion reactor had a 50-60 year life it could activate a lot of material. The volume of fission reactor waste is small enough to be stored on site (so far) for decades and reprocessing can reduce that dramatically.
Off topic: Can you stream over the air digital antenna content to a Chromecast directly?
Exactly. It's a good first app, but essentially it's an image forum, not something I need a dedicated app for, especially as it doesn't have an existing active community.

Well... if fusion energy is abundant, the price of oil will drop rather abruptly. A lot of people in a lot of places, where the population has been expanding, and there is a lot of religious extremism and political instability and modern weapons, will have to find a new way to feed themselves. And someone to blame if they can't. So I'm not that optimistic it will stop any wars.
The passengers of the Titanic on the morning of April 14, 1912, would likely have considered writing off two thirds of their number in the event of a maritime mishap equally unacceptable. However that's precisely what happened within 24 hours.

Ebola is spreading and doubling rapidly -- every 20 days with the most recent data I've seen, and the case count in both Liberia and Sierra Leone exceeds that of the early-September projection made in the New England Journal of Medicine. It's not only well above the _median_ prediction, but it exceeds the 95% confidence bound.

UN WHO have stated flatly that we've got to achieve a 70% effective containment to stop spread of the disease or we're entering a stage for which they have no plan.

Not only is the prospect of failed containment concerning, but so is the fact that there's currently no contingency plan should that occur. It strikes me as an epic failure of imagination.

Given growth rates and prospects for loss of containment, it could be far more than a quarter of a continent at stake.

I'd say that "think of the jobs" is generally a damned sight worse than "think of the kids" as rationalizations for bad policy go. Jobs defense is often protecting an explicit waste of resources, while kids at least are worth protecting and tend to break libertarian models of the universe.
For what it's worth, in the Google [X] talk last year, they briefly mentioned running actual plasma confinement experiments (although I guess not reaching fusion conditions or that would probably have been publicized).

I know it's almost inconceivably stupid that the feds wouldn't seal the border in the case a of a global pandemic, but the recent experience of the enterovirus epidemic being brought here by central american teens who were not deported really makes things clear.
Imagine someone gets infected by a borderline patient before they are quarantined, like the nurse. Imagine this person is an undocumented worker or poor individual who eventually gets sick and is afraid or unable to afford healthcare and infects those around them. At this point you have a real problem as people are walking around unknowingly infecting others who also eventually either find a doctor who is unprepared for patients walking in with Ebola, or hopefully a hospital that is ready. I don't find this scenario unlikely at all. In the US there is limited legal means to force quarantines on large masses of people much less any place to put them. Imagine one going to an NFL football game. How do you trace 60,000 people and all their contacts?

Hopefully none of the exposed people will fit this scenario but you only need one free infectious person you don't know about.
You are just being an exploitative bully. Why should the Archive get to decide how every other website on the internet works? When people post on Quora they can also post somewhere that does get indexed by the Archive. Or they can keep it private to Quora.

> What Quora is asking for is something more: an API that allows them to go in, without any sort of human process or judgment, and sync up the Archive's records with what Quora wants those records to be

Does anyone else realize the self entitlement in your post? That which you so adamantly oppose giving to Quora is exactly what you desire from them: an API that allows the Archive to go in, without any sort of human process or judgement, and sync up the Archive's records with what the Archive wants those records to be.
If I unwittingly hurled innuendo I sincerely apologize and ask you to point it out so I can avoid doing so in the future.

However, your other contentions don't make any sense to me. Everyone is entitled to their identity; rather, the contention was that devaluing her internet identity wasn't worth the financial gain. The internet makes new identities trivial to acquire and Sarkeesian's wasn't of any particular value before the controversy so I don't think there's any logic there.

Similarly, no one suggested that you should find credibility in anonymity. I tried very hard to make my argument stand on its own by excluding any evidence not verifiable through third parties.
You talk like Stack Overflow and it's sister sites don't exist!

No, it's just that I don't think of Stack Overflow (and sister sites) as filling the same niche as Quora. I mean, yeah, OK, they do "compete" to some extent, sure. But at least in my mind, I go to SO and SE sites for different kinds of discussions than what I go to Quora for.

I'm happy that SO / SE sites are more Open Web friendly, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see a site, styled after Quora, that is so as well.

Oh, you're right, I didn't even look at the dates :x

My hope's that it gets open sourced, but I haven't heard anything in either direction about it.
I've owned an EVO, a Note 2 and a Nexus 5. The form factors being small, large and medium-to-large, respectively. I went from small to large, and while I thought the Note 2 had fantastic specs, it was too unwieldy for me and I decided to downsize to the Nexus 5. I still find the Nexus 5 a bit unwieldy with one handed use, but it's at least possible. Which brings me to my current conclusion: I want a smaller phone which doesn't give up too much in the screen resolution. Which brings me to my question: What makes ideal specs for you? Here's what I want, but cannot seem to find (something is always missing):

* Size: 4.9" screen

* Resolution: 1080p (it's really hard to find any phones this size with this resolution, which is disappointing because the PPI is possible, especially given the quad HD resolutions being slapped on phones now).

* SD expansion slot: One thing I really liked about the Note 2 that the Nexus phones don't have. I could upgrade with a 64G SD card which didn't cost much. 32G can fill up pretty quickly with videos and photos and it's annoying Google has a philosophy which shuns SD cards.

* Battery: At least 2600mAmp (should last at least one day).

* Stock android: No bloatware and no touch-wiz. This isn't as important as the other considerations though.

* CPU: This doesn't matter too much to me. 99% of what I do doesn't need a latest generation processor

* Memory: 2G is fine. Memory again isn't the main thing that's bothering me about the current android offerings.

What really bothers me is no-one is catering to this market segment and the trend is increasingly into the phablet market.
Part of the reason for that threshold is that Ebola is only transmissible (based on current evidence) when the patient is "symptomatic".

If the threshold was set too low, then the screening process would have too many false positives and potentially overburden it beyond being effective at all.
the only reason i have a second screen is because i have a laptop plugged into an external monitor.

I hardly use my retina display for anything. i miss my 17" mbp displays.
They were treated, all of them got treatments.
Yes, I know that and that wasn't my point. And neither does Alien Blue for that matter. My point was that I didn't want to pay for iAlien's "new app" which was anything but a new app. I am happy to pay for new features, but there weren't any new features and the iAlien developer was claiming he had to re-submit the app (and require everyone to re-buy the Pro features) due to (IIRC) Alien Blue claiming naming issues which seemed pretty suspicious to me.

And now I just went to the app store to check on iAlien and it appears to be available again as iAlien and has been updated. Maybe whatever the problem was was resolved and it wasn't actually a problem in the first place? I wish someone who knew what was going on could explain, would be enlightening ;)

EDIT: Nope, there was definitely some controversy:

"Quite simply, you need people in their 20s and early-30s if you want your business to remain successful."

On the other hand, at least in the tech sector, there are so many companies that discriminate against older employees that you can probably find a plentiful supply of qualified employees just by welcoming people who are over 40.

I think 2 (or more) screen displays make sense for professionals who need the extra screen constantly up -- e.g music producers seeing both their DAW audio lanes and individual sequencer piano rolls, or video editors watching the video tracks, color controls etc on one monitor and a full screen of the movie in the other.

For programmers not so much (even something like console output/build results you better decide when to focus on it, rather than constantly having it as a distraction).
I find the discussion about ABI compatibility to be unsatisfactory.

If I'm reading this correctly, it ends up basically boiling down to a preprocessor trick; you don't get the advantage of being able to add parameters to a function, and have name-based calls to it continue to do the right thing without a recompilation.

The noise far outweighs the signal, but a lot of the signal is fantastic in my opinion. I think a lot of my enjoyment comes from the 'straight from the horses mouth' situations, where popular names answer questions that only they really know the answer to.

The discussions in a lot of the programming questions I find absolutely terrible.

Some comments:

- This looks a bit like Rando, but Rando was more interesting. Even the icon of your app is plain.

- No Android support is a dealbreaker for a huge number of users, including me.

- Your only customer review is rather negative.

Work to make your app more appealing (read more about Rando, if you are not aware of it), port it to Android and try again. I'm sure you'll have better results next time.

Good luck!

Uhm, if it's distracting you from that task at hand, instead of helping you complete it, it's not a productive thing.

My code editor lives on one screen, usually with four files in veiw. My browser and console live on the other. It's really no different that one screen.
I was an intern at a CAD company back in the late 90s, and saw how in a short period of time SGI workstations had been replaced by Windows NT machines with better and faster graphics cards.

You could tell SGIs were nice, a good solid build, but their time was over. They were way too expensive. I think we even leased them because buying them was too prohibitive.

But I did have fun discovering by accident the file manager from Jurassic Park ( http://fsv.sourceforge.net/ ) on it. For whatever reason, I remember being really excited about that.

This is a really interesting article. SGI used to be a king in the Bay Area and you can still see the history if you look around. Some of Google's signs on their Mountain View campus outside of the former-SGI buildings are purple.

Well, I work on a 15 inch laptop and don't feel constrained. And lots of people work on 13" Macbook Airs and the like and feel quite focused and OK. It's not like it only applies to people with 27" monitors.

I agree with the author. Working with 2 (or even 3) small, low quality monitors is worse than working with 1 decent monitor.
@touchmuchtodo, unfortunately you cannot stream digital antenna content to a Chromecast directly. I would assume it would need a digital signal converter, at the very least. I've been considering getting a TV tuner card for my desktop explicitly for streaming live games to my Chromecasts.

This should be titled, "two big screens aren't better that one big screen." I've had multiple desktops with two 21" CRTs, back when that made you a fancy boy, and had considerable improvement in workflow from it. Now, with my 27" Thunderbolt monitor, I can't imagine the frustration of having to turn my head instead of move my eye to change my mind's focus.

This transition was after having done most of my development on a 15" laptop, and re-learning how to be productive without distractions... everyone's mileage will of course vary, so blanket statements are worthless.

Most warheads have hollow plutonium pits that are filled with tritium (right before implosion) triggering a fusion reaction from the high heat of the plutonium fission reaction. So no, it's not only the H-Bombs, though those are primarily fusion while tritium is only used to "boost" classic implosion fission warheads.
For me it is the ability to have my code up on one screen, and a debugger on the other. So that I can look at my debugger, and look at my code at the same time.
