I swear last I checked the 805 only supported hw accel. VP9 up to 1080 not 4K. The Qualcomm spec sheet says it supports up to 4K but reports out in the wild suggest that is "best case" and it doesn't really work beyond 1080.

I haven't seen many good arguments against Snowden either - but your comment here is a huge strawman. Just because you feel strongly about what Snowden did doesn't mean everyone who disagrees with you is ignorant/dumb.

Which one is it? Is it that democracy has failed, or is it that the majority don't care about this particular topic?
A big thing I got from learning about biases was to raise my standards of trust/truth of what other people say. Seeing how fallible people are was very powerful to me (coming from a religious background).
You seem to forget that being attractive and having more kids are in no way correlated. Ugly people have kids too.

If you're not saying we're selecting for intelligence or beauty, then what are you saying? You claim "the concept holds true", but I'm not sure what the greater concept you're trying to explain is. That humans are still evolving?
A couple of quick observations:

* Three of the ten unicorns (Airbnb, Dropbox, and Stripe) were funded by Y Combinator, while a fourth (Pinterest) was founded by two-time YC alum Ben Silbermann.

* All of the unicorns are headquartered in California. Eight are in "Silicon Valley" (i.e., the actual physical valley plus San Francisco), and two (Snapchat and SpaceX) are in Los Angeles.
Here is the first Git commit he talks about in the article:

I'm a colorist. I spend all day looking at color intensely with very expensive monitors. It makes me really excited to see people who actually care about color reproduction over things like resolution.

With that said, I have to ask why these groups are interested in 10-bit when I'm essentially certain they cannot view in 10-bit. Only workstation GPU's (Quadro and FirePro) output 10-bit (consumer GPU's are intentionally crippled to 8-bit) and I can't really think of any monitors that have 10-bit panels under about $1000 (though there are many with 10-bit processing which is nice but doesn't get you to 10-bit monitoring). There are some output boxes intended for video production that can get around the GPU problem, but by the time you've got a full 10-bit environment, you're at $1500 bare minimum which seems excessive for most consumer consumption.

So I guess what I'm asking, are these groups interested in having 10-bit because it's better and more desirable (and a placebo quality effect) or are they actively watching these in full 10-bit environments?
I lived in Khobar, Sanea spent like absolute crazy. Family and friends always joked about how it looked like a 7 star hotel instead of a hospital. They bought several residential compounds, including one I formally lived in. It always seemed like something was wrong, while the hospital was a fairly crowded one, there was no way it was actually turning a profit. The other stuff about the banking came as news to me though. Really interesting read.

Edit: To add on to this, the Gosaibis were a well respected name, they have since been driven AFAIK to the brink of bankruptcy, as the article mentioned they sold off their PepsiCo. factory and some of their other assets as well.
Sounds like BS.
Thanks for the feedback! I plan to address everything you listed. A few things were already in my list of things to do (the irony...)

I didn't pay any attention to mobile so that may be on the back burner for now until I clean up some of these UX issues. Was completely making it for myself at the time keeping it super minimal and forgot to add help text/tooltips.

I used to play frisbee golf with another programmer who taught me a lot. I've partnered on a couple of startup projects with a great programmer who I found via someone who a buddy of mine worked with. My first full-time job as a developer came when another buddy's girlfriend started her own digital agency.

None of these relationships were "networking", persay, and I don't think the relationships would have been fruitful to either me or the other person if we kept wondering what we could get out of the relationship. It was just giving and taking and making an effort to be human with another person.

I think you'll find that having a big "network" is the result of being someone people like as well as putting yourself out there a lot. Putting yourself out there could mean attending networking events or joining an outdoor club or just going to see a certain band a lot.

I suspect you'll find that- all else being equal- having a big network is going to be really beneficial in the long run. You might not always be trying to start a startup, so try to build your relationships for the long run and enjoy the person as a person... not as a stepping stone.

Why You Should Lawyer Up Before You Startup
I'm not sure Snowden would be against it, if it stood a good chance of getting people talking about the upcoming reauthorization of the Patriot Act on June 1.
As the article states, general advice won't apply to every situation, but I'd advise any startup that generates revenue to consider that their last round of funding is going to be their last. The startups that don't generate any revenue or very little revenue and have a exit strategy that requires them to be acquired or to get critical mass in order to exploit network effects are the exceptions.

It's great to fund growth by burning money, but once the company reaches a respectable size I'd make a plan for how to reach profitability and update it periodically. That plan might be as simple as ceasing all hiring for a year while the revenues grow enough to overtake costs.
I agree that his goal was changing policy. Nevertheless he does not have the power to make policy on his own. The power to change policy rests ultimately in the democratic process. And giving the public the info required to make good policy seems pretty fair to me. The public could have chosen/can choose to ignore his leaks.

The point is: living on 0.5 * $annual_income requires discipline. If you give 0.5 to charity, good for you. If you put 0.5 to a retirement plan, or apply to some long-term debt that you assume, good for you. Not everybody has the discipline to get $10 and only look at $5 as "available".
This is not a quality article.

Presumably, the author is responding to Marc Andreessen's comments here:

http://www.businessinsider.com/marc-andreessen-on-startup-bu...

However, the author has ignored the qualifiers and substance of Marc's comments. Marc specifically said, "behind the scenes, they're plowing through that money either on marketing, overhead, or some other expense, which results in high burn rates."

Marc is talking about companies like Pets.com blowing wads of cash on Superbowl ads. He's not talking about a company like Tesla spending a lot of money on battery innovation and other core research. I think Marc knows the difference between the "burn rates" of Pets.com vs Tesla.
If you'd done the same thing with a bust of your mother 10 years ago, they'd have covered it up as well. Try the same thing (with Snowden, or your mother) in France or China, and see what happens. Just because they parks department is doing their job doesn't mean democracy is ebbing.
"The trick wasn't really so much the coding but coming up with how it organizes the data."

I think this really is the key to understanding git as well. When you understand the git data structures, git makes sense. Otherwise, it can be quite difficult to grasp (http://ftp.newartisans.com/pub/git.from.bottom.up.pdf was really useful for me).

The behavior is different for different resolution videos I think. Instead of seconds, I think they download x kilobytes ahead of time. Just try 360p vs 1080p (for same video).
Burn rate is one of the few variables a startup can control. It matters. A lot.

I know burn rate can't be analyzed in a vacuum (how many variables can be?), and a high burn rate can be a good thing, but my guess is more companies fail (partially) due to poor management of capital than fail due to spending too slowly.

Are there many examples of the latter that anyone knows of, even if somewhat anecdotal?
Yeah, "one of".
There are a number of users here who honestly believe that criticism of Snowden is the work of NSA agents and paid shills - so of course they feel their accusations are not at all gratuitously negative, but rather warning people not to be duped by the elaborate and subtle government psy-ops at work.

Then again, I can't help but wonder why people bother asking if someone else is a shill, as if they honestly expect an actual shill to admit to it. Probably the same people who think undercover cops actually have to admit who they are if you ask them.
Totally agree. Why not get rid of some of the extraneous information in the table first? You don’t need MM/DD/YYYY format for every date. You don’t even need the year if you are displaying information for this year, which is probably the most likely in a payments table.

So instead of “02/01/2015" and “01/01/2015 - 01/31/2015” use “2/1” and “1/1-31” … or even “Feb 1” and ”Jan 1-31”.

I assume that under payments they would normally have some other description other than “Payment #1”, “Payment 2”, etc. - otherwise that is a waste of space as well.
I think markets solve this already. Countries with weak property rights see less foreign investments. No need for an additional mechanism.

In addition, US & Europe are already very business friendly[1], which is great! This is the reason EU/US are comparatively prosperous already.

ISDS is about lobbying and regulatory capture (wrapped in the veil of property rights).

I …flat out don't think this is true. Not sure how else to put it, but it is just outside my experience to correlate nude-picture-sending willingness with technology comfort. I don't really have theories on what it does correlate with – for instance I'm not willing to put it on a liberal/conservative spectrum – but I just don't think comfort with technology is the thing.

Of course neither of us really know, because only the NSA has the data :)

I, too, loved turntable.fm and wanted something similar. When you request a track (add it to your list), you upvote the track; if votes >= median, it gets queued in the master playlist (thumbnail appears in the header), or else it appears gray on your list.
I disagree strongly. I consider Snowden to be a hero - flawed perhaps, and not conforming to a heroic mythos demanding his going to court - but his information exposure was something that was desperately needed in the US.

I think it was an act of desperation to some extent. People had already been convincingly reporting the broad outlines of NSA's surveillance activities for the better part of a decade and no one seemed to care. It probably took an extended, highly specific information dump to get people to take notice.

It would definitely prevent an uncommitted data problem if fsync or O_DIRECT were used (which should always be used for critical writes).

UPSes defend against power outages, but they're only one rung on the data-integrity ladder. Controller BBUs, on the other hand, protect against both power outages AND kernel panics.

I dunno, I think the government employees (federal and, because much of the federal entitlement spending is joint state/federal programs like Medicaid) and contractors paid to work directly in the administration of those programs (or, in the case of companies running Medicare Advantage plans, working in for-profit businesses directly subsidized by the entitlement spending) are receiving at least as direct a benefit from those programs as the program recipients are, and often, per person, a much larger benefit, as well.

Definitely a lot more research required here but I think the intermittent fasting research is pretty interesting and promising. Particularly with the result that dietary restriction achieved by nutrient dilution rather than fasting didn't extend lifespan (Solon-Biet et al., 2014). Easy to imagine that our ancestors didn't have access to food all the time and our metabolisms are geared to fast periodically.

In the mean time I'll probably stick with the Michael Pollan approach to diet - 'Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.'
2042 appears to be an important year in history!
In many ways we are already selecting for those traits and have been for countless generations, so assuming we had a well-understood and safe method for artificially selecting for them then there should be no ethical quandaries beyond "but, that's cheating!" There are no scorekeepers of the universe, nobody's going to give us karmic demerits for finding a shortcut.

I like the "there are no scorekeepers of the universe" line.

The ability for humans to use the intelligence that evolution has provided them for whatever they see fit, including the ability to better themselves and better the species as a whole (or, sadly and unfortunately, to hurt each other), should be considered part of the evolutionary process. Just because humans have intelligence doesn't mean they exist outside of evolution. In fact, not using our evolved intelligence to influence our genetic makeup is avoiding thinking about how and why we have this intelligence to begin with.

The ability for an organism to influence the genetic makeup of itself and its descending, through either gross methods like breeding/natural selection or discrete methods like genetic engineering/modification is really just one step out of many on the evolutionary ladder.
Government employees and administration are overhead.

You're so hung-up on frontrunning. I challenge you to find a retail investor actually harmed by frontrunning. Even in Flashboys the protagonist was a big trader trying to move 10,000 shares. It simply has no affect on retail traders.

Let me just walk you through how an order is filled: Your brokerage sends the order to one or many of the firms that specialize as so-called "liquidity providers." These companies publish quotes for all securities, both a bid and ask. These companies make money by knowing what other people are doing -- capturing order flow -- so they try to publish the lowest quote possible in order to get the order because by law the brokerage must fill the order at the "national best bid/offer". This results in price improvement for the customer over half the time. This improvement doesn't get squeezed from another counter-party as I think you're thinking, and actually both counter-parties are likely to be price-improved. The improvement comes from smaller bid/ask spreads.

Here's what I know for certain: With high frequency trading tech comes more liquidity, with lower commissions, faster trade execution, and a small bid/ask spread. There are more penny-wide markets than ever before. Look, I'm just a retail trader. I have no reason to shill for HFT firms. And I even love Michael Lewis. But flashboys and this whole dark pools, front-running boogeyman is just so much bs.
I wrote that analysis and honestly - no - I don't think it's malicious. Incompetent perhaps, but not malicious.
>BTW Bandera had nothing on Stalin when it comes to murdering civilians

Bandera was doing ethnic cleansing of a region and killed 60000-100000 Poles, Stalin doing military occupation of half of the country - 150000 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Poland#After...

Percentage-wise Poland probably got easier than USSR itself during the same period under Stalin. Not that it wasn't a tragedy, just that it wasn't specifically against Poles. It was pretty much the same "upper class cleansing" that happened in USSR - military officers, ministers, government, and other educated or "advanced" in any other way people. Bandera on the other hand was specifically killing Poles.

>You lie regarding the nationalist forces (look up the percentage won by right wing parties in elections after Majdan - less than 5% IIRC).

Yatsenuk's and Poroshenko's parties took around 50% and have full power in the country. It is these forces that direct the "pacifying" operation in the East which in particular results in significant ethnic cleansing of that region.

>And the threat to ethnic Russians in Ukraine is pure bullshit Russian propaganda. There is not even clear way to tell who is Ukrainian speaking Russian (significant amounts of these live even in Kiev), and who is "persecuted Russian".

you just don't know what you're talking about.

>And telling by the fact that Russian minority in Estonia, Latvia etc complain about persecution too (and EU laws regarding minorities are very strict about such things). I'd take such complains with big grain of salt.

Have relatives in Litva. Fully integrated, inter-married, children, etc... If you're relatively young and determined, you can be able to jump through all the hoops... And it wasn't immigration, it is for the people who lived on the territory at the time of the new state formation. You're probably again talking about things you don't know about.

>In conclusion - it was invasion and annexion of democratic state by authoritarian neighbor.

Presidents in democratic state are changed either through elections or impeachment. Taking power in a coup is completely different thing. These new Ukraine powers were stupid to immediately manifest direct and open hostility toward ethnic Russians (first order of business of the new powers - the language law - no practical effect, only huge symbolic gesture) before having built up the military forces. Putin doesn't care about fate of these ethnic Russians of course, it just provided the opening for him, and Crimea more than happily voted for separation (speaking about democracy - Crimea separation was more democratic than the power change in Kiev, so if you think that current regime in Kiev is democratically legitimate than it would be a double standard to not recognize Crimea separation). And as a side effect Ukraine got punished for stupidity of their new regime. Nationalism blinded by hate always gets punished in the end...

And by the way - everybody is ok with Saudis attacking Yemen where the president they liked was ousted... Try Putin actually attack the Ukraine when Yanukovich was ousted... Double standards.
Leaving a payroll provider can be difficult (especially if you have 401k, and other benefits tied into it). That said - it's worth switching to Zenpayroll. In my experience with Paychex and now Zenpayroll, Zenpayroll is a clear favorite.
There's an excellent plugin for WordPress called FooTable that works in conjunction with TablePress that does something similar.
It's interesting to see that these people (1) installed the bust in such a way that it can be easily removed without damaging the existing structure and (2) went to great lengths to ensure that the new design is honoring the aesthetics that were already in place.

Snowden is very explicit that his goal was not to drive policy in any particular direction, only to allow informed, democratic debate about what the NSA is doing. He decided to come forward when he saw that the NSA lies to its congressional oversight committee, which is completely undemocratic.
