I'll confirm a tone shift on an HP ZR2740w as well. It's quiet, and I have to put my ear to the back of the monitor to notice as I alt-tab the window. But it's certainly there.

True - but the post I was responding to wasn't talking about plasmid-mediated resistance, but rather a broad assertion that a competitive disadvantage will take care of things. That's a strong assumption for which we have a counter example.

You seem to be saying that there are two groups of equal size (people who complete suicide by gun and people who complete suicide by other methods) and then saying that if you remove access to guns that all or most of the gun group would just switch to the other group and that the total number would stay the same.

Don't think that an attempted suicide by gun is the same as an attempt using another method. Guns are a very lethal method of suicide. Other methods of suicide are not as sure. This might explain the differences in completed suicide numbers for men and women (more men die to suicide) and rates of self harm (very many more women self harm) -- men might be using more lethal methods.

Some members of the "want to use a gun as a method of suicide group" would use a different method and would complete suicide. But certainly not all that group. Some would use a less fatal method and attempt suicide but not die. Others would find help before attempting suicide.

For a tiny US example: look at the Taft and Ellington Bridges in Washington State. They were both used by people to complete suicide, although more people used Ellington. After a number of people dying to suicide in a short number of days a suicide barrier was put up. People did not switch to the other bridge, even though it was close.

Again: look at the rates of completed suicide in England after switching gas supplies; after removing coproxamol from general use; and after reducing the amount of paracetamol. All of these resulted in permanent drops in the suicide rate.
The original iMac had more ports than the current Air (audio in/out, power, ethernet, modem, USBx2, and an expansion slot).

One port that can do power, data, or video is pretty spiffy. Using that as an excuse to only have one port on the entire machine seems a bit extreme. At least give us one on each side..
I think there's another option. You could hire a freelancer and have him/her fix the bugs and get it working on Yosemite. Depending on the complexity of the code, this may or may not be feasible.
How long until they just use dimm slots?
You're right, it's a fair amount of money, and I'm lucky to have this problem. Right now I'm doing everything I can to focus on another app. I'm trying to give that app 100% of my time and attention, even if I could be making more money in the short term doing something else.

I personally find it difficult to work on multiple large software projects at the same time. There's just so much I can keep in my head at once. If it were a few thousand lines of code, maybe, but Magic Maps weighs in around 35 kLoC, and the other one is pushing 100 kLoC. It takes a fair amount of mental bandwidth to dig into deep bugs, and I'd like to save that bandwidth for my other app.
Press releases are public-relations/marketing/propaganda, the opposite of factual.
This is super interesting. Right now we are limited by communication due to latency from speed of light. With quantum entanglement, does that mean no latency over great distances? Or is there a latency involved, even in quantum entanglement?
Bingo—I bet they have a lot of money sunk into Windows. They'd have to replace that software before investing in linux on the OS front.
Until recently(?) if you were using the twitter API and were over your rate limit the server responded with "error 420: Enhance Your Calm".
In reference to the 100W power carrying capacity:

That seems to me like a lot of power to be sending through a 0.5mm wide contact pin separated from the data pin by another 0.5mm. I see elsewhere that they have upped the voltage to 20V, which reduces the current required - is that all it takes?
Windows support for high DPI (4k) is absolutely terrible! I recently tried setting up an MSI Ghost GS60 4k [1] for a client. By all means it was the greatest laptop I'd ever seen, until we came head-on with Windows 8's terrible (absolutely terrible) support for 4k screens. Scaling was inconsistent and several business applications did not scale at all, rendering them unusable with no viable alternative (apart from using an external monitor).

Wait, why not just use awk? It can do pretty much everything the other two do (and can, like sed, be used to replace other things (like 'head')) and runs faster than perl at some things. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8858342)
Yeah, and this is the bit that makes me think that I'm thinking about it wrong. It actually seems like a win-win-win-win for everyone involved (idea submitters, contributors, assembly, and the end user), but I can't shake that sinking feeling.

Likewise, I have a Lumia 920 and I use a Qi enabled cradle in my car. It makes charging my phone in my car much more convenient. Combined with Bluetooth I don't have to deal with any wires into my phone going into and out of my car (which I do at least a dozen times a day).
Once I sign up, some of the resources return 403 (IP is blocked by geoblocker ...). Went through a US proxy and can see what it's supposed to look like. The funny part is that first message that is supposed to say "Thanks! You're Jet Insider No. XXX,XXXX Share to move up the ranks" instead says:

Thanks!

You're Jet Insider

No."

I could not figure out what the hell that was supposed to mean.

I guess this is just some launch last minute scrambling or something? Might not have been the best choice, anyone outside the US or wherever is being blocked has the first impression "Ah, they are going to take on Amazon and can't get a signup flow to work ... right".

Define "good internet service provider"? ISP's are businesses. Businesses exist to make money. Regulations like net neutrality push in the direction of turning ISP's into "dumb pipes" and there's no money in building "dumb" anything, and certainly not enough to justify the tens of billions of dollars ISPs invest every year into their networks.[1]

Differentiation and bundling is something you see in many areas of the tech sector. Facebook doesn't open up their platform and infrastructure for anyone to access however they want. They carefully control the points of entries onto their service, and affiliations with other services, etc.

At the end of the day, users are willing to pay, e.g., $15/month for Netflix, and don't care about who gets what part of that money. Fights over net neutrality and copyright are about how this $15 gets split up between: content creators, infrastructure providers, and user-facing websites.

[1] If you look into the actual finances of cable and fiber, you'll find, for example, that both Verizon FiOS and Charter would be losing tons of money if they didn't bundle video services along with internet access.
Well niche is not bad. There are gigs in Smalltalk:

car: switch and lose. Goat: switch and win. Is OK as far as it goes, but it's not enough explanation to cover why you should switch.

You need probability in the explanation because of the two goats/one car choice in part one .. and here I am trying to explain it again. You already know how it works, but you don't see that your explanation of it doesn't explain it.

After they removed one answer, you have more information...

Because the choice isn't balanced...

If it was as simple as you suggest, it wouldn't make a good part of a game show. Everyone would see straight through it.
How does this compare to the PCI-e based SSD's in the Mac Pro?
I have been reading through the emulator in Javascript walkthrough. It does a good job at explaining the basics. I'm not very far into development, still trying to understand the basics of the CPU. The manual and opcode chart you posted will help out a lot with that.

Thanks for the tip about the CPU instructions. I did notice that, but when looking through the Javascript code there was a one to one relationship with opcodes to instructions. Wasn't sure why the person went that way, maybe because it was easier? Either way I will keep that in mind and try to do code reuse!

Test ROMs are amazing! I have been playing around with a few ROMs I have and they all seem very complicated. This should make it easier to determine if I'm on the right track or not.

With the little code I have written, 90% of it is Printf to the screen to see what is going on :).

I do want to share with you this other tutorial that I found [1]. It is similar to the Javascript one, but it goes into way more detail on some parts.

Thanks very much for all the help! I have a lot of reading to do this weekend!

> The prototypical example in my mind has always been the Monty Hall problem, where you often see convoluted explanations or detailed probabilistic calculations, but the solution is just plain as it can be when you consider that if you switch you win iff you chose a goat and if you stay you win iff you chose the car.

The problem here is, when two people disagree, they both think the problem is simple and they both think their answer is trivial. The thing is, they haven't solved the same problem.

In the standard formulation, where switching is the best strategy, Monty's actions are not random: He always knows which door has the good prize ("A new car!") and which doors have the bad prize ("A goat.") and he'll never pick the door with the good prize.

If you hear a statement of the problem, or perhaps a slight misstatement of the problem, and conclude that Monty is just as in the dark as you are on which door hides which prize and just happened to have picked one of the goat-concealing doors, then switching confers no advantage.

A large part of simplicity is knowing enough to state the problem accurately, which circles back to your paragraph about Feynman: Understanding his initial understanding of QED required understanding everything he knew which lead him to his original understanding of the problem QED solved; for his final formulation of QED, he understood the problems in terms of more fundamental concepts, and could therefore solve them using those same concepts.

Same as current Apple offering, although Retina MacBook Pro's only supports only 2x link.

I hope some larger capacities will become available in next year or two. Also I have noticed no difference in daily computer use when went from 500 MB/s SATA drive to 900 MB/s PCIe.

Thanks for the suggestion. The code is somewhat complex, though I've tried to isolate the really hairy parts in separate libraries (e.g. OpenCL code). I'm really not sure what the ramp-up time would be, and whether it'd be too much. Where would you look for a Mac freelancer?

For the record the Yosemite issues are the most glaring ones, but there are deeper crashes and bugs (think "mysterious Core Data error") that have eluded me.
There are public companies in the industry. All are highly risky/volatile stocks, though. Nothing like a blue chip company yet, which you could trust to steadily rise in tandem with the industry.

In my view, they don't really have to post anything of substance. All they might have to do is degrade the discourse through trolling, to the point where thoughtful views from either "side" are lost in the noise.

It's a newer model. I suspect the difference is negligible in real-world usage.
That only uses the DIMM slot for power - it still uses a SATA connection. This definitely has its uses, though.
I plan on blogging about it once I get more into it. I have just started doing some basic programming and reading up on how the GameBoy works.

> Yes, that's not as good as no cost, but it is a tremendous improvement over what the world would be like without JSTOR, and that's a good thing.

I agree, but that's not really my concern.

> How would you suggest that JSTOR get the money for that?

I don't suggest they get the money for that. I'm more of a "let's topple the giants" sort of guy.

JSTOR's survival/profitability is not my concern. The free diffusion of publicly funded research is. And, frankly, I don't care if that makes me a bad person.

I feel the same way about the for-profit closed-door academic research publishing model as I do about the fossil fuel industry. :)

> It costs JSTOR money to get permission to use the material from the publishers. It costs JSTOR money to digitize print journals.

JSTOR can keep doing what they're doing. I have no problem with their existence. I just want to stop people from publishing exclusively in journals that can only be made available to the public for a cost.

Then eventually we won't need JSTOR anymore.

> Because of JSTOR, public libraries, community colleges, non-profit research institutions, and many universities outside of the top tier research universities can get organization wide access to large collections of journals for orders of magnitude less than it would cost them without JSTOR, and they can let the general public use their access for free.

But it's still a cost that can be avoided by scientists boycotting the publications that JSTOR has to spend money to obtain permission from and digitize.
The Rakudo Perl 6 compiler is still immature and slow, and the -i option (in-place edit) hasn't yet been implemented, but, at least for comparison's sake:

$ perl6 -pe 'next if ++$ == 2' example.txt

... prints all lines except line 2.

This is an example from Perl 6 One Liners[1].

The `$` is just just an unnamed variable that is getting incremented once per evaluation (-e is for `evaluate`) which in this case happens once per line (-p is for printing each line of input after eval'ing the code -- unless a `next` applies, in which case that line gets skipped).

And...

$ echo "foo foo foo foo" | perl6 -pe 's:3rd/foo/bar/'

... replaces the third foo with bar.

P6 regexes are far easier to read and way more powerful than P5 regexes. The `:3rd` bit is a general language feature called "Adverbs", in this case applied to the regex focused s/// built in.[2]

> Interesting how even China, given its wealth, has given up on building its own OS and chip infrastructure.

I wouldn't say that. I would say that the Chinese Government has allowed the free market to take over this task. Take a look at http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/chinese-arm-soc-mediatek... all high quality ARM SOCs from Chinese suppliers.

Likewise, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIUI is a fork of Android that reportedly runs faster than Google's stock shell. (I have seen an old version in action on Android 2.2, it was fast, really fast, from what I have read newer versions are just as zippy) Xiaomi has also built up a complete separate (successful!) ecosystem outside Google's, something that Amazon has tried and failed to do.

In another few years you are going to have a Chinese controlled mobile OS being used throughout the Asia Pacific region, running on hardware designed by Chinese companies.

Full-disclosure: The kickstarter featured here is one I created.

I'd have to agree that if still alive there's no way SJ veer from the path of high-tech. Part of me does wonder however how this would be different if he had been born 30 years later. Being the rebel that he was known for at times, I wouldn't be surprised if the company he'd be starting as a 20 year old in this day in age, would indeed be a lo-tech focused company.

Who knows, maybe starting a company wouldn't even be the "Steve" thing to do right now.
