Embarrassingly, I first misread this as Harper Lee working on a sequel to the Hunger Games finale Mockingjay, and I was so confused....

I was forced to read To Kill a Mockingbird for school. I started reading it with a bad attitude. After I finished it, I immediately turned back to the first page and reread it, not with a school mindset but with a "this is amazing literature that I need in my life" mindset.

If she was writing this "sequel" at the same time she was writing the original, they're likely to contain the same themes and the same timeless way of looking at life, society, and what it means to be human. I don't know if any novel could survive the pressure of being a long-delayed sequel of To Kill a Mockingbird, but I'm definitely willing to let it try!
Simple, but very useful. Most people don't know how to improve Wi-Fi in their house aside from adding a wireless repeater (which reduces your bandwidth). We need more routers like this so people stop experiencing bad internet at home.

I think it turned out fairly well for them. MySQL is pretty much the go to DBMS for many successful companies, and it and its little sister Maria command something like 75% of the OpenSource Database market.

When Google, Facebook, Twitter, and almost every other big player picks you to underpin their platforms I think you might have made some good choices.

( Yes I know all those companies also have their own DB's, but remember that they almost all started on MySQL and only switched when they out grew it )
I wonder why they didn't get Stackify instead, a lot better tool
Here's what I could find on maintaining wealth over time:

http://www.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/gclark/papers/Sweden%202... - A study of Swedish surnames since 1700s suggested that wealth regressed to the mean quite slowly (the statistical measure b), finding significant differences between those holding noble and common names after hundreds of years
http://www.eea-esem.com/files/papers/EEA-ESEM/2013/1862/SUwp... - Another study of Swedish intergenerational wealth transfer finds similarly.
http://www.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/gclark/papers/Clark%20Cu... - A study of rare British surnames since 1800s finds a similar rate of regression to the mean.

And taking a different tack, studying lottery winners with modest sums:
http://www.econ.pitt.edu/papers/Mark_lottery.pdf - only 3 years after winning 50-150k people have regressed to the mean rate of bankruptcy
http://www.nber.org/papers/w19348 - land seized from Cherokee people in 1832 was given away in a lottery. The land was valued at between 20k and 150k in modern terms, depending on how you count - inflation vs relative value of unskilled labor. Sons of lottery recipients had no better adult outcomes than the sons of eligible men who received nothing.

So, all of these do find a significant regression to the mean and not a permanent upper class, but for large wealth and social status differences it can take hundreds of years. For more moderately sized random windfalls it happens rather quickly.

I'm out of time to write this comment further, but I'd like to look next for research on what happens a generation or two after a family makes a very large move, i.e. rags-to-riches and riches-to-rags.
I'm not terribly worried. At the end of the day if Facebook did this the patent revocation would likely be unenforceable. This would be a simple example of Unconscionability. You can't enforce a contract that is grossly unfair.

This entire thing is an anti-patent troll measure.
You're trying to show how the active and passive sense of verbs contrast, but your examples are inconsistent. Let's keep A and B fixed.

"A eats B" -> "B is eaten by A". Makes total sense!

"A comprises B" -> "B is comprised by A". This makes sense too!

However, no one uses "comprised of" this way. The overwhelmingly common usage is "A is comprised of B", when what is really meant is "A comprises B". In other words, people rarely use the active form of "to comprise", and when they use the passive form they usually invert its meaning.

Arguably that's just how language works, and of course I can carry a conversation with someone who speaks this way without skipping a beat. But the written compendium of all the world's knowledge should aspire to slightly higher formality.

I assume the issue is with the construct "so fun", not the word "fun". And in that construct, the word "so" is an intensifier. It emphasizes the nature of the next word. You'll hear it in constructs like "that was so cool", or "that was so awesome", or other such phrases that kids like to say when they're excited about something.

In developed countries, yes. That's basically what developed means -- there's less opportunity except at very high specialized areas often requiring lots of expertise and capital. Not so in lesser developed countries. People would be shocked if they realized how many rather mediocre people in "third world countries" are very wealthy doing pretty basic things.

At the risk of losing my nerd card, I've never played Nethack.

I read the reddit thread, and while it was in English, it made not a lick of sense to me. Now I know how non-engineers feel sometimes. :)

BTW, can someone tell me why this is such an amazing accomplishment? I know Nethack is very old, so is this a case of a complex problem space or just no one has tried before?
I did not argue that either way was better or worse.

Contrarians... gotta love em. They keep the running Looney Tunes reverse-psychology joke going. Counter-cultures are no different than the trend-following cultures they try to polarize themselves from. I guess I shouldn't have been shocked into commenting on this one for the oddly negative responses from some, but I do believe that the formulation of that negativity demands some more research. Has the internet created a society full of contrarian trolls bent on using sheer will to overcomplicate simple subjects?
Judging by Leviathan Wakes and the others from the expanse we are safe in the unfortunate case of "a jordan". It is written by his assistant and a friend of him. They are also the people that are his "hit by a bus" insurance.

AOL was responsible for getting more Americans online than any other company. There wasn't a mailbox in the US that didn't get an AOL installation CD at least 2 times a year.

These weren't people "switching" providers, these were people thinking "what is this crap and why do I need it?". There was a day when no one knew why they should even go online and AOL sold them on the idea. So, while what you say is true, you don't seem to understand the context of the time.

Maybe you can think of it as the iphone of smart phones or the facebook of social networks. Closed systems typically make things easier for the masses to adopt.

Ummm, those who fought in Korea are responsible for the fact that 51 million people enjoy a respectable GDP and living conditions; those who fought in Vietnam were trying to attempt to prevent a brutal takeover which led to hundreds of thousands fleeing for their lives.

I'd say that's inarguably more important then rolling out prettier government web sites.
In normal conversation, grammar can have a more general meaning. But since everyone here wants to argue about precision and correctness, I thought I should at least level the playing field.

I doubt that you could easily dedicate one core for RT GPIO while running regular Linux on the rest. That would require quite significant engineering both from the kernel and HW. Probably a better architecture would be something like the PRUs in OMAP SoCs used in BBB, i.e. semi-independent RT co-processors.

Besides there is lots of devices in the market positioned between Arduino and RPi. STM32 F4 Discovery board is a good example; an order of magnitude more processing power than an Arduino Uno but still a MCU designed for bare-metal (real-time) operation.

Are you aware that gcc has probably just as much if not more money poured into it? It's not a product of a bunch of hobbyists. Most of the gcc code is done by contributors who are paid to work on gcc. A lot of it is done precisely by companies who are interested in gcc generating the right code for niche hardware.
Hmm, that's an interesting way of looking at it. What I fear is more accurate though is there's a certain subset of people who equate complaining and criticizing with critical thinking. These people are less concerned with what ultimately happens, so much as they are concerned with how they can signal their discontent. They are the pedants at the party, picking apart conversations until everyone around them slowly moves to other parts of the room.
Made up word? You've used it, so it's real now. I like it. There's a certain truthiness to it.

I think your argument is a compelling one. The richness and color of our language (and, if I may, I'll make the distinction between the varying forms of English here - not all variations embrace the tinted varietals of words) is largely due to this organic growth and change of its usage. While personally I don't use "comprised of" (that I know of - my memory is imperfect), I don't know that I'd choose to battle over the usage of the phrasing. I recognize that some common phrases evolve out of this sort of natural mutation of language.
Fun also functions as an adjective. "That was a fun movie. It was fun. How fun? So fun."

I agree, there's definitely two conflicting usages here: and activity can be the noun "fun", in the same way that doing something can be can be "bliss" or "hell" or "a complete waste of everyone's time". And so while I can say "My drive in to work was hell", I can't say "My drive in to work was so hell" (because not an adjective). But if I can say "My drive in to work was enjoyable", and even "My drive in to work was so enjoyable", then what's wrong with saying "My drive in to work was so fun"?

Apparently she was writing this novel first and incorporated flashbacks, which were so descriptive that someone (might've been her editor) strongly suggested she separate them into their own novel.

"Everyone collectively pays for what the majority decide on" is technically correct (assuming for the moment that budgetary issues actually correlate with the population's desires, and omitting for the moment people who pay no taxes), but it is phrased in a way that seems intended to obscure the fact that you as an individual are forced to pay regardless of both your acceptance of your government's policies and the institution of democracy itself.
Maybe at the time they would be referred to as 'memories'.
I also don't like that in the US you never can tell how much something will cost you at the end. I remember on my first trip I had one dollar left, bought candy and at the cashier was was told it would actually be 1.09.

Same for cell phone planes and internet. There are always seemingly random charges added to the final price.
You can't do both at the same time, true. That doesn't mean that you can't make a system that works well as both at separate times.

Hmm. I don't agree. Is it better to publicly represent that you are the smartest guy in the room and make the people lower on the totem pole feel bad? Maybe it would be nice if the normal way of things changed so that you didn't have to pretend in this way (never admitting vulnerability) just because you felt your position was insecure.

I have to say I find myself on both. In general I find the descriptive view of language to be far more flexible, pragmatic, and realistic. But certain phrases such as "all intensive purposes" evoke such a strong response from my gut that I just cannot abide it.
Amazon already is building an on-demand grocery service, and Jeff Bezos has long made it clear that he wants all the inventory at Amazon Warehouses to be delivered within hours to the customer. It wouldn't be stretch to think that Amazon would enter the on-demand logistics market (not just Taxi) at some point in time, cause it has got most pieces of the puzzle sorted. Same goes for Google, as it tries to take on e-commerce market with its own offerings.
Correctness includes accuracy and precision.

Improper or nonstandard use of a word may reduce the precision in an alternative phrasing of equal conciseness.

This is the same reason why I carry on an utterly futile crusade against the use of the word "amazing" as a popular synonym for "doubleplusgood". We have synonyms to color the context and add subtle shades of meaning to our sentences. When they are employed inappropriately for an excessive duration, some opportunities for subtlety and artistry in language may be lost forever.

There was a time when "fine" was better than "good". But now one of the meanings is a level of quality that is merely passable or acceptable. Having ground "fine" as a descriptor of quality down to a dust of exceedingly small particle size, shall we also do the same to "amazing"?

"Mom, this pot roast is amazing--not as good as last night's tacos, but definitely amazing."

"You ungrateful brat! Leave this table and study, so that you might improve your pitiable grades from 'amazing' to passing."
You could also treat it as an abstract "access point" blanket, throw a dedicated router in front of it (like a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite), and get some separation of concerns bonus points.
It does actually makes sense since they have all the resources (MAP,CAR,MONEY)
The "Internet" as we know it was just a tiny corner of what AOL offered. And wasn't even originally part of the package. The Internet itself developed separately from AOL and eventually people wanted it more than they wanted anything AOL was offering. I'm not saying you don't have a valid point, about AOL bringing lots people online, but AOL had very little to do with the development of Internet.

Worth mentioning that Costco has a cap of 14% margin on everything except Kirkland brand goods, which are allowed up to a 15% margin. In that case, weird pricing may genuinely be because they can't charge more for it.

Seems like prisons would have enough clout to get an exception from the FCC to run a radio jammer. This would also help stop the problem of drones carrying stuff into prisons. Surely jammers are selective enough to not interfere with guards' radios. My other thought was metal paint everywhere to act as a Faraday cage, but this wouldn't work when inmates were outside, and would interfere with guards.

AngularJS is a fine framework. Like any technology it has it's positives and negatives. The biggest issue people seem to have with Angular at the moment is that the upcoming Angular 2 is a complete rewrite of the framework and the angular team isn't sure if there will be an upgrade path from the current versions.

I've used Angular for both prototyping and in large enterprise applications and it's served me well personally. It takes a bit to get used to the angular way of doing things but once you learn it - it's as good as any framework.

Even powerful routers / access points like that one have difficulty with certain types of home construction or layouts. Older buildings with narrow hallways, heavy wood beam construction, lath and plaster, multiple levels, or brick construction all pose some challenges for wifi devices. Homes with detached units, like a small shop, don't usually get both covered very well without extra devices.
