But, I still need inheritance. DuckComponent would need to inherit from Component in order for my GameObject to add that to the list of components attached.

Am I wrong?
Also, I forgot to mention since I am miles deep in my own program and hoping a couple bottles of wine will assist me in getting this app hammered out, but make sure you have a good git system going. A live repo, a dev repo and a staging repo at minimum. And at "another minimum", you probably at least want these three repos both on your remote server and local server.

Eventually you will want to maybe bring on other developers. Have a good private repo on Github. That is a choice of course. This way you can choose what to merge into your live branches. You just need to find a good groove. Git is beautiful. It really does help in organization of your development process.

And analytics. I'm a bit absent on this. The reason why is that you are a developer. You will eventually know what you want to know and even if you need to bring on another developer due to time constraints and such, you will know how to develop out personalized analytics that you want out of your app. I mean it is almost evolution. You build an app. Then you want to know what's up. You know the app the best so you will develop loggin and analytical methods to provide you with what you want to know. So again. Unless you are looking at a gem that will help you with visualizing what you are going to develop on the analytical side of things, don't get overwhelmed. You know best. You built it. It's beautiful, and if your app is really a hit, you will plug in chug and make it work.
"I find Greeley particularly surprising."

Agreed. How is it a "large" city ?
Heh, that's true. Actually (ironically) I have a MongoDB mug too, which I found orphaned on a desk in a back office at my old job.

Arguably, no one can win a poker game against a robot specifically programmed for poker. But idealy human should still be able to win against AI right? After all, a human being made it, programmed it and all? Just a crazy thought.
A few months ago, I did some evaluation and eventually settled on KeePass. I don't use any form filling; I open it up and copy-and-paste a password when I need it. I haven't found this to be terribly inconvenient, except on my phone. From my notes:

"I don't use the same browser everywhere, so just using browser sync isn't enough for me. (I also never save my passwords in my browsers, even on my personal machines.)

My primary computing devices are OS X (work), OS X (home), Windows Phone (phone). [Since then, I also added a Fire Phone, which has even fewer options.]

I have an iPad Mini (iOS 6 [now 8]) and an iPod Touch (iOS 7 [now 8]) but these are very much secondary devices. I had a Nexus 7 prior to the iPad Mini.

- 1Password seems to be the best option, hands down, if you're Apple-centric (I'm not).

- LastPass requires you to subscribe, yearly, to their syncing service if you want to use their mobile apps

- KeePass is cross-platform and open-source, and is about as usable as you'd expect an open source Mono app to be

- All Android clients seem to be second-tier to iOS clients

- All Windows Phone clients seem to be broken, missing features, or horribly ugly

- There don't appear to be any other options, except writing passwords down in a book I carry around with me, which isn't a terrible option, but I'd be deathly afraid of losing it.

So, KeePass it is.

[Then I evaluated a bunch of clients, and a bunch of syncing options, and settled on:]

- KeePassX 2.0 alpha on OS X.

- WinKee on Windows Phone.

- MiniKeePass on iOS.

- All are free and open source.

- The original KeePass Professional Edition client is probably fine if you're on Windows or Linux, and would let you use Firefox and Chrome plugins on those platforms, but it requires XQuartz and Mono on OS X.

- MacPass will probably be nice on OS X once it comes out of alpha.

- 7Pass Remake will probably be nice on Windows Phone once it comes out of alpha.

- You're on your own for syncing your password database .kdbx file, in all cases. I'm using OneDrive because I need Windows Phone support, but BitTorrent Sync or Dropbox might also be viable options for you.

[OneDrive is also available on Fire Phone, as is an Android KeePass client.]

What does value "_to society_" mean? Can you provide a definition of this term?

Arrows Impossibility Theorem generally says that value to a group is meaningless - individuals have preferences, but there is no consistent way to aggregate them into a group preference. You can get around this with things like cardinal preferences (essentially money and prices), but then the value of knowledge _to society_ is by definition what a person would pay for it.

So what do you mean when you say "what your society values"? Is it just a code word for "whatever my team can sneak through the political system" or is there something intrinsic there?
I use Lastpass. It's reasonably light touch and easy to manage. With that said, Dashlane's new password changing feature is making me wonder if it's time to make a change...
Luckily, in PHP land, I can do it wrong without ever having to type the letters A-E-S anywhere, because the relevant mcrypt constants are named MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_192, and MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256.

Nevermind the fact that only MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128 is actually AES, most developers choose MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 and claim they're implementing AES-256.

To wit (trigger warning, encraption and severe arrogance on its developer's behalf follows):

LED off-road auto headlamps, brighter than on-road, are good enough and cheap enough now that those are an illumination option. You can get a few thousand lumens now for a hundred dollars or so. Halogens are a pain; they have a short life, cooling problems, and generate IR which turns into heat at the LCD panel, so you need fan airflow across the panel. This guy has been struggling with halogen cooling and power problems. Halogens are on the way out. Even stage lighting is going LED.

Projectors are getting better, cheaper, and brighter with LED lamps behind them. Here's a 1000-lumen 1080p projector: "http://www.lg.com/us/projectors/lg-PF85U-portable-led-projec.... It's still around $1200, but give it six months.
They generated $1.3m in revenues in a year with a 20% growth rate.Their growth rate was for 2013? 400%+, putting them at a runrate of about $5.5m at the start of 2014.

And the amount of bitcoin transactions has only grown since 2013. e.g. the record highest number happened just yesterday. Or compare wallets at the top bitcoin company right now which verifies users and bank accounts, Coinbase, which was at 700k wallets this time last year, now at roughly 2 million. Another 300 million of VC money was invested since 2013 into the bitcoin space.

I mostly agree on your larger point regardless, big traders get discounted (any source for that from any particular bitcoin exchange, btw?) and exchanges are definitely not gold mines right now. Look at Vault of Satoshi, just closed. It ran well but it just wasn't bringing in the type of revenue they could with the amount of expertise they had on board. They've switched focus to a Netflix app. But comparing 2012 Mt. Gox to 2014 says quite little, we're talking about a trainwreck of a company here in an industry that's seen 1, almost 2 orders of magnitude growth since 2012. If price is a good proxy (not really great, but sorta ok), the fiscal year in which Mt. Gox made the $1.3m revenue / $300k profit started with a bitcoin price of less than $5, for perspective. Things have grown somewhat since then.

I'm just a part time jazz musician with a day job. ;-)

Not all musicians can do that kind of work, but I was fortunate to have taken classical musical lessons throughout my childhood, so I've developed and maintained good "sight reading" skills. In any typical mid sized town, there is a small cadre of musicians who handle most of this kind of work. It is a business necessity for any larger ensemble because the chance of keeping (for instance) 19 players together long enough to rehearse everything together is a losing proposition. Likewise, bandleaders who want to be able to ride out personnel changes will make sure that they keep their "charts" in order, so they can call in a sub to read a gig if they need one on short notice in whatever town they're in.

But it's definitely a skill like any other, that requires practice to maintain, and where there is always room for development. I can handle most written jazz material, but would have a hard time sight-reading a modern symphonic work. If music is over my head, either from a theory or technique standpoint, being able to read will be rather cold consolation.
that only happens in the US, in Mexico, you get scholarships from the State, If you're studying a Master Degree, first of all, most of the PNPC degrees are free (the best degrees indexed by conacyt), the mexican state gives you a scholarship for about $8000 pesos monthly, (most people fresh out of the bs earns about that so it's ok), for a Phd, they pay you about 12k which is ok too, and for a postdoc pays about 18k. All good science programs are free, on top research centers like Cinvestav, Cimat, UNAM, you name it. you have mobility (that means that the mexican state pays you for making and internship on a university abroad), and well, maybe in the industry is hard to get a good with such credentials, and if you are a very good prospect you could top about 100k pesos in a top white collar job, but, lets be fair, is very hard to get one of those jobs. So getting a PhD is basically a very easy and good route to have financial stability. Also, there are a lot of opportunities on the state universities around the country for people with PhDs.

Sad fact, there is no will in the general population for this programs. I'm studying right now a master degree on applied statistics and we are a generation of 6 persons.

Could you talk a little about how you covered the first priority, safety? A restart on a fresh server doesn't really inspire the notion that whatever exploit they used can't be used again?

i.e. why did you decide to restart when you haven't determined what caused the safety issue?

I'm looking for a resource that will help interpret the charts. Not really technical analysis in the form of chart patterns, but a combination of fundamental analysis and technical data. What's really driving the movement? Would trade any instrument but really curious about index futures... I find individual stocks simpler to interpret but it's hard to cover many stocks and limit risk. Thanks!

Word can not even open their old Word version documents correctly.
LibreOffice opens them better.

I'm just going to reply to a couple points on JS: We write code that runs on the client-side primarily for performance. Rendering without needing to send more data over the network or run more code on our servers is a huge win... Especially when we're not building traditional "web pages", but rather full web-apps - requiring fairly complex UI and business logic.

Plus, JS isn't something to be avoided these days. Its become a full-featured language and is as powerful if not more powerful than .NET
I think this is an important point. The conductor plays such a central role off-stage during rehearsal, that it would be an odd disruption to play the gig without the conductor.

Some conductorless bands will have a de facto conductor. I play in a large jazz ensemble. The bassist (that's me) is supposed to maintain the tempo. For important rhythmic transitions in a piece (changing from one tempo to another), you might see somebody in the front row (a saxaphonist) waving his arms, or even his entire horn like a baton.

Maybe that's the average trajectory in the US (and not for a successful scientist since she fails in the end!).
But let's not forget that the US is not the only place where a scientists can find a job. There are many research institutes or universities in the world where someone with a PhD from Stanford and a postdoc from MIT (and less than that) could find a stable position.

Besides, one has to consider the other options available. Would the person in your example be happier had she taken a different path? who knows.

I wouldn't discourage people to try and work in that field if that's what they want to do.

For comparison, Bitfinex did 27k in the past 24h. And an average of 22k per day in the past 30 days. So 10k is indeed somewhat conservative. I'd personally guesstimate their annual fees at around $10m, including discounts for larger traders.

What isn't mentioned often is that I suspect they're personally somewhat rich, too. i.e. they were two people into bitcoin in 2010, started the company in 2011. Even if they didn't invest in 2010 which they likely did, in 2011 the price was still in the pennies. A $5k investment then would've been worth $5m today, or $15m just a year ago. Between the two of them, I don't think it's unlikely they've got quite some millions stashed away. And given they've had a $10m investment not too long ago (with a valuation in the tens of millions at least. e.g. Coinbase and Bitpay both have $150m valuations at $30m invested) it's not unlikely they're burning VC money or their own money just to cover these issues and keep an otherwise potentially very valuable (long-term) company afloat.

Mix that with 2 years of not unsubstantial fee collecting and a cheap cost center in Slovenia for the vast majority of their development work, and I think it makes a lot of sense that they can pay this off.

Of course all of this is speculation. The crazy thing is that bitcoin is so young and nascent that we don't even have basic oversight. For all we know the two co-founders could have stolen $5m from their customers, said it was a hack, and continued happily knowing they don't have to work again for the rest of their lives if something happens. Of course this makes no sense seeing as they fronted the loss, but this notion that we are assured by that, rather than say an audit, oversight, blockchain analysis etc, is a reminder of how far bitcoin has to go still.

I actually run a Chromebook 14 with a 27 in monitor and wireless mouse and keyboard. It suits my needs. I am presently able to control my two Win7 computers through Chrome remote desktop. It seems that the Compute Stick once set up should be able to be run from any remote desktop with only power to the stick. This gives me a Win8.1 computer inside my Chrome system. I need to maintain a Win computer due to legacy issues, with some of my hobbies. I can combine all of my data from the two Win7's and an XP in one Win8.1 computer and retire a lot of old equipment. I will have to try it when I get the Compute Stick. My needs are simple, and it works for me, I am not a high end user. It will clear a lot of space on my computer desk, and fit in my computer case when I travel.
Why did the finalist with the lowest safety factor win AES? (2013)
You're clearly doing something wrong if you're running a VM of Windows just to create simple documents. It really sounds like you need to take inventory of how you're doing things. Since we're talking anecdote, I have never had a problem editing Dropbox-saved documents in QuickOffice, or having them magically messed up when I email them. I went to a couple of different schools that allowed students to submit documents in formats supported by open source formats. You're right that in the first half of the 2000s using proprietary pay software formats was a requirement, but in the last ten years schools and instructors have started accepting others, and the last couple of years I went to school I didn't submit any document in a proprietary format. The fact is that Microsoft Office is an enormous cost to consider versus something like the equally powerful and less obtuse LibreOffice. Also, your "Microsoft Office is the solution" makes you sound like a shill, seriously.

Related to the impact of AI to society, especially wrt the increase of unemployment. I was reading the comments of this MIT Tech Review (http://www.technologyreview.com/news/533686/2014-in-computin...) and I came across this opinion, which gave me the shivers. Two points:

1) AI taking manual workforce-based jobs. I can't help seeing how beneficial the industrialisation of processes has been for humanity. Instead of relying on inaccurate human judgement for manufacturing jobs, we let machines produce perfectly similar assets much better than we can do. This has increased the reliability of the outputs, in addition to lowering the prices of the products, which has made them affordable to many more people. Jobs get more specialised, so like the tools human beings have developed throughout history. Once more, survival entails adaptation. And this is again a matter of supply and demand. In Spain, where the economic crisis is still hitting the markets and unemployment, having a proper specialised education no longer guarantees landing a job (and it's not because evil robots are doing the tasks of leaving scientists).

2) AI taking over engineers, lawyers, etc. AI is difficult per se. Nobody comes up with a human replica made of metal by chance. Things take their time, and improvements are gradual. That's a matter of fact. At present, AI (plus Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition...) delivers a set of tools that allow us to see father, from the shoulders of giants. We had never been able to digest the amount of data we are capable of doing nowadays. Isn't this progress? We haven't yet created a creative machine and I don't see it coming any time soon.

I am so firmly convinced that AI has so much good to do that I just created a blog (http://ai-maker.com/) solely dedicated to AI and its applications, and I'm going to dedicate my spare time for the following years to grow this side project into something awesome, because that's where AI is leading us.
I certainly agree that some (probably most?) web pages have way more UI logic than they need to present the information to the user. Loading animations, back-to-top buttons, fixed position headers, social-share bars, and so many more UI components are totally unnecessary.

However CSS does have an important place even in the most basic presentation of information: proper styling can vastly improve readability. Especially on mobile devices where the layout must change to fit the device and a fixed 800px is totally unacceptable. This adaptation to fit the device is what sets webpages apart from more rigidity constrained types of documents.

Also, there's some degree of artistic expression in a nicely designed webpage... It's beside the point of why extensive styling capabilities are "needed", but that's part of why they're so popular.
> Don’t we, as a society, want them to have bright little babies who will make the future a better place? If we do, we’re really working against ourselves.

This is a common flaw in thinking I see all of the time when it comes to teachers, scientists, and everyone else that someone says is underpaid. The fact that they are underpaid represents exactly how the sum of our society values people in these positions. So the blunt answer is, "no, humans are more focused on short term goals and reward people that provide something with an immediate return."

Lots of smart people train to become lawyers as well, and now the market is saturated with new lawyers resulting in a situation similar to PhD students. Think about how much interest you have in shelling out extra money to fund these new lawyers salaries with bring them to parity with the law graduates of 10 years ago. That is how much interest most of society has in ensuring that someone with a PhD in biology is making six figures.
If you take a look at the financial and technical desaster of the new Berlin Airport, you'll quickly change your mind. Financially off by factor of ten and with such serious flaws that some people actually suggest to scrap whats been built (almost done) and restart from zero.
