No, the big difference here is that Google's MVNO is dynamically switching between multiple providers.

Most MVNOs are just resellers of a single network. They may migrate users between networks as contracts expire, but dynamically balancing between multiple networks is less common.
I'm sure many people have thought of this idea before (Apple included) but actually getting multiple carriers to agree to a deal is what's interesting about this.

It's also probable only recently feasible with a mass market phone that can handle all the difference frequencies (and potentially different network types) involved.

I don't think that t-mobile and sprint are opposed to commoditization. The expansion of the commoditization of mobile access gives them new ways to compete against at&t and verizon.

The era of multi-year contracts and heavy device subsidies has primarily helped those with large market share maintain it. T-mobile in particular has been pushing to change how the market works and bring an end to some of the ways that customers have been locked in to carriers. I wouldn't be to surprised to seem them support further commoditization.
Not really, more like finding both in the same book store. Different audiences like different formats, so if you can have both you get more viewers.

Personally I hate the narrative form of news reporting, I like just the facts.
I'm not sure you have an unbiased perspective on what constitutes elitist or haranguing. Progressives were called sanctimonious niggerlovers, butch (women) and effeminate (men) when they rallied for the progressive issues of their day, and all of this talk about them "acting superior" seems like a lazy coat of paint on top of not liking what they're preaching. Additionally, it seems to be all second-hand, as is usually the case. I've never ran into militant vegetarians, they honestly seem like a figment of the american imagination.

And at the very end you're trying to go back on admitting your daughter is proselytizing, by complimenting her cooking skills. I think you're quite confused about your principles.
You captured my sentiments well. I found OP's project extremely impressive and I never meant to detract from the hard work he put into it. When I was designing my own system, doing HDMI decoding on an FPGA was an option I considered. But HDCP (a from of DRM encryption on HDMI signals) was the deal breaker. Although there has been some recent research on MITM attacks to break HDCP, it's currently beyond my budget and patience.

It's much easier to sidestep HDCP altogether, which can be done with a simple AV converter.
> Is public domain a license, or is it no license?

Public domain means nobody owns the copyright to that work. Anyone can use it for any purpose whatsoever, because there's nobody to tell them they can't.

So, no, it's not a license. It's putting something in a category where a license wouldn't even make sense.
Hello world example is a great misdirection.

Heavy lifting is done by an external routine being called.

That does not make you learn assembly language.

ASM is about interrupt (bottom half), calling other piece of assembly, saving and restoring the registers, and above all mastering the mov, and the art of deciphering how registers are used.

This is only just assembly quiche programming.

> since we no longer know how (some) catalysts work

It's not like we ever knew exactly how things work at the molecular level. Chemistry is still an expanding field, there are theories to explain molecular combinations in most cases but there is not fixed, absolute theory behind it that explains everything in every single case.

> race of scanning materials(i.e. combinatorial chemistry) to find catalysts

What for ? There's tons of literature already available (more than you can absorb in a single lifetime), and experiments need to be carefully planned and understood, and not just randomly thrown at multiple targets.
No! I demand it all or nothing, right now!

JMESPath – a query language for JSON
I've had TMO in the past, and the Google plan is attractive to me for a couple of reasons

* T-Mobile customer service is inconsistent in messaging on the phone, via Facebook, stores

* As a H1B visa holder I am, according to TMO, not able to get a postpaid plan

* Prepaid plan does not work outside of the US

* Prepaid plan has issues receiving short codes from Uber/Bank of America and possibly others - I've spent 8+ hours trying to get it resolved and just ended up giving up.

* I currently use Cricket, due to the 20GB max, but the network is so incredibly slow that it's almost pointless. In NYC I often get at most 100kb/s downstream, when on LTE; that's just no good.

* Spam calls to my Cricket number, and they are unable to do anything about the multiple calls I receive a day

* I use Google Voice already, and it's incredible - except for international texting which they have crappy support for.

* Google Voice has issues with short codes, kinda like TMO prepaid.

Assuming the latter two has been solved with Project Fi + I can get proper network speeds + they filter out spam + automatic transcripts of voicemails (latter two being Google Voice features), then I'm a fan. Can't wait to get it for my Nexus 6.

Yep! Plus the tuner card itself can use 200mA or so, and if you want to use any other USB accessories they'll be drawing power as well. I unfortunately have too much experience using "phone chargers" that had enough current to run it 90% of the time, but under hard load would cause enough voltage drop on the 5V rail to reboot the Pi.
That is indeed somewhat more informative. More centered around the findings and potential applications instead of telling a people-story.
To within a disturbingly accurate margin of error I can tell you right now his financial return for this book: zero dollars.

There isn't enough money in tech books for writers to rely on it as a day job. At best it'll get you noticed and make other jobs or speaking engagements easier to get.
Low tech solution that has evolved over time - spreadsheets, fortnightly budget reconciliation, and a hand-written Personal Balance Sheet (which I replicate in the Wealth+ app).

The Budget spreadsheet has a (annual/qtrly/mthly/weekly) budget for about 100 items (this is the bit that's evolved most over 10+ years), broken into 15 categories (including Investment and Cash Reserves; this also evolves). Most expenses are Food or Entertainment - these get a fortnightly cash amount, rather than having to reconcile that individually. Everything else goes on a Debit Card and is recorded - takes us about 20-30mins a fortnight.

The Personal Balance Sheet was a revelation for me at the beginning of last year - suddenly when we talk about money, we're talking about our net worth and assets not how much we spent on lunches or clothes. I write it out longhand as part of my monthly 'Board' financials - so it includes my own business, property, and some categories like Other Business Equity that are currently empty. The Wealth+ App graphs it all, and you can see some cause and effect - our Cash dropped last month because of some renovations, but our Property Values have gone up this month.

A Funds Manager I know who used to lunch with these guys for work once told me high-net-worth-individuals disproportionately use cash - they see money as real, not abstract.

For me, there's an analogy with understanding my finances. Sure, I can have a system spit me out a personal balance sheet each month - but hand-rolling my own in coloured markers connects me to the reality.

I'm always happy to share these templates if it might help anyone - email is in my profile.

[Edit] I should add, I'm going to review the other options in this thread. Like a To Do List app, with Budgets it can be hard to find something that replicates how you do it.
Windows XP support has ended
I largely agree with you, BUT, this version of Effective C++ was less opinion and style oriented and more a guide to avoiding easy to make mistakes with some of the new C++11 and C++14 features. Not following many of the guidelines will result in incorrect and broken code.

My recollection of the older books is that they covered "best practices," and ignoring them may have been bad style, but the code would still be technically correct. Quite a few are still style issues, but it's important to recognize the difference before deciding to ignore them :-)
1) At the GPIO level, the RPi actually has kernel-space SPI driver. What I really mean is a driver interface for my program.

2) SPI is a ridiculously simple protocol. I have a background in embedded systems, so it's really not a lot of effort. Particularly compared to the OP, who deconstructed and intercepted the entire HDMI protocol on an FPGA. I'd consider the effort required for that task as quite a bit more.

But does the author actually send messages granting those licenses, or is the user supposed to "will them into existence"? Because in the first case, the author just bought himself a whole lot of stupid work, and in the second, I don't see how anyone can be sure that will hold up in court.
The quote is talking about upgrading the network increasing costs without directly increasing revenue.
Intel syntax has more intuitive memory access syntax:

AT&T syntax:

Intel syntax:

The other differences are minor compared to that, IMHO.

His past C++ projects (or lack thereof) do not tell much about the quality of his books. He teaches people how to master C++, and that's a very precise skill. He doesn't claim to teach how to organize software, or how to manage collaboration between people, or any of the other skills that are necessary for a successful software project.

It's the same way that good grammar is only one of the skills involved in writing a great novel. Some scholars really grok grammar, and are excellent at teaching it, yet they haven't written great novels. I'm thinking of William Strunk Jr (of "The Elements of Style" fame), for example.
So what was the plan for actually making money? Was there any revenue at all?
This is a great writeup that tracks pretty much everything I know about successful startups. I started my career doing M&A for mid-sized tech companies (and saw a lot of varied outcomes), then got technical and have now been a software engineer for several startups, two of my own.

You've got to manage your time exceedingly carefully when all that matters to 95% of people is your growth trajectory. Most potential customers and partners are nothing more than leeches; always identify and go after the low-hanging fruit; never listen to people that want you to burn like crazy to accomplish something crazy.

He's right that companies are bought, not sold -- my old boss used to say "run your company like you're going to own it forever, or else you will."

Above all, be honest with yourself about all aspects of your business, product, and team.

For me and others close to me anti-depressants proved to be a joke/a placebo.

I was on five to six different drugs to cure an odd social anxiety, that went away as I got older and grew more comfortable in my skin. How in the world can a drug cure an odd internal social behavior that leads one to feel anxious/uncomfortable? Answer for me is .. it can't.

Another example being my g/f. We started dating six years ago and up until a year ago she had been on 4 different anti-depressants each year. Her doctors would say oh that one isn't working lets try this one and so on. Finally she realized this stuff isn't helpful, what's the point?

For those it has helped that's good to hear, but for me, my g/f and many others I know... these drugs are just lining the pockets of the drug companies.

The precautionary principle
I think it's important to note that although studies of serotonin levels don't show a connection with depression (i.e. lower serotonin levels = depression), that doesn't mean that drugs which decrease reuptake/increase (by proxy) serotonin levels won't improve mood.

It's sort of a red herring to say "Depression isn't caused by a serotonin deficiency, therefore SSRIs are bunk", which is what this article seems to veer towards. SSRIs could affect a completely different body system as long as they wind up showing a statistically significant effect over placebo in a double blind study, then they are acceptable forms of treatment by our current scientific/medical standards. (Which apparently they do for most patients--so I wouldn't rule them out.).

I wanted to see just how true MoveNY's claim is that the price is skyrocketing.

Here'a a graph with some quick data grabbed off the internet:

http://i.imgur.com/qbhSNbH.png

The fare was $0.30 in 1970. From there, I applied the inflation rate to compare with the fare prices. The price of a ride should be reduced on this graph once unlimited metrocards were introduced because those are cheaper and account for a big chunk of the usage.

Regarding the chart above, the slope of the "line" for the fare is 5.4 cents/year and the slope for the price index "line" is 3.6 cents/year.
Pretty much the same here. Its easy to downplay depression or anxiety, but SSRIs are a literal lifesaver for many people, myself included.

The fatal error in his reasoning is fundamentally units vs. integration. The "comprehensive" studies still show that SSRIs are effective [0], the mechanism of action is just not likely to be "because you didn't have enough serotonin."

Anti-depressants didn't ever do anything for me, either. Although I suspect that the only anxiety attack I've ever had could very well have been caused by them.

In his awesome book Bad Pharma, Ben Goldacre also hints that the link between depression and serotonin levels is not very well established. For those of you that don't know, Ben Goldacre is not some quack that pretends that science is wrong or something like that; in fact, what he asks for is precisely more rigorous science (specifically, more rigorous medical trials, all made public).

On the other hand, apparently there are a lot of people who have had a measurable level of benefit. My non-educated hypothesis is that there are several causes of depression and serotonin levels may be only one of them.

I have T-Mobile and get excellent coverage in Alameda (definitely improved over the last 4 years), across much of BART, most of the Bay Bridge (not in the tunnnel), and perfect in SOMA.

Agreed, it was a really motivating read. I enjoyed the optimistic (and not too preachy) outlook he has regarding technology just on the horizon, especially in medicine/biotech.
It's entirely my own fault, but this has been a really muddled conversation.

When I mentioned TypeScript, I only meant that it (and other languages that compile to JavaScript, like Go) is a better syntax overall. I didn't actually mean that it helps with DOM selection/manipulation.

So if you want short DOM syntax, I'd suggest using vanilla ES6[1] with polyfills, and then figure out what's really wasting your time. Then, you can write your own sugar for it.

In my opinion, document.getElementById is something that you end up writing a lot and is really long, but with autocomplete in a good IDE, it's not a big deal. Plus, any JS developer who sees it will know exactly what it does and what it returns.

That's probably not true. Poorer students may in general have lower attainment, true. But there are so many, many more of them - even a 1% rate of rich-student attainment means there are still an order of magnitude MORE qualified poor students wanting to attend college. No discrimination necessary to address the current imbalance - just blind admission.
This entire article is based on a complete mischaracterization of Robert Whitaker's book/article. How exactly is that balanced?
I can't speak to the drugs or the study, but having had a significant other showing signs of depression and working with them to get them active (physically), outside more, and an additional avenue to focus on (in this case, something in common that happened to be outside activity) helped with the depression symptoms significantly. Not fully, but definite signs.

Just an observation/data point.
There are a variety of options:

FreedomPop provides 500mb a month free data and you can pre-pay monthly for more data with lower overage costs. You do get sprint only.

Republic Wireless already does the Wifi calling and switching and unlimited data.

Ptel sells prepaid data at a flat $.10/megabye (atleast $10 / 60 days) and there are others in that range.

There really isn't anything new here.

For user search you still would set a size limit, and a server admin would set a server-side size limit to avoid other resource hogging issues.

I concede the point that there's poorly written code out there that is vulnerable. Still, to lump this into the label of "injection attack" along the lines of SQL injection attacks is grossly misleading. An SQL injection attack can cause destruction of data, invocation of arbitrary commands on the backend, and innumerable kinds of other mischief. A misparsed LDAP filter can do none of these things.
