I've seen a gold stickered Ferrari in Beijing before, that is silly. A gold watch is mellow in comparison.
FYI even under the current system where the statute or a contract provides the the winner gets their fees paid by the loser (generally called prevailing party fees), the fees must be "proven" to be "reasonable". So a "inefficient" law firm does not simply say my fees are $x and they get paid, the Court holds a hearing in which other lawyers who are certified as experts on fees come in an testify regarding what a reasonable fee would be with the type of case, the lawyer(s) experience, the number of hours, ect...

Your other point is well taken and the potential to be liable for the other sides fees is a deterrent, but that is the purpose of prevailing party fees, to encourage both sides to resolve the dispute without litigation. To some degree they also permit the little guy to get representation when otherwise they could not afford an attorney.

I think jewelry shows some signs of snobbery ("look at me, I'm wearing precious materials on my body! - Aren't I awesome?").

Looking at my mother's generation, they are still putting a high emphasis on wearing gold and such. But the kids my generations are a lot more interested in "technology". What I mean by that is they'd much rather get an expensive phone than a gold necklace, and brag about that instead.

So why isn't an "expensive" $600 phone snobbery? Because it's actually worth the cost in terms of functionality. A $6,000, or $60,000 "gold smartphone" would insinuate just as much snobbery to me, just like a $17,000 Apple Watch does, which is 100% identical in terms of functionality with a $350 one.

This is going to become even more laughable when we start mining billions of tons of precious materials from asteroids in a couple of decades and bring them to Earth.

I also find it extremely disappointing that Apple wants to turn from a "premium brand" into a "fashion brand". The two worlds couldn't be anymore different. Premium brands implies high quality for a certain premium price. Fashion just means paying $7000 more for a different watch band. I really hate to see Apple going down this trend, because it only means it will eventually start focusing less on the "technical quality" side of its products, and more on the "fashion side" of its products (kind of how Beats uses poor quality headphones and wraps them up in expensive "fashion" packages - which by the way, Apple acquired).
If you are in the market for a $10k gold watch, you probably just hand it down or even throw it away...it is not the kind of money you think about (most high end watches are much much more than that...think 30k CHF for a simple one).

Recursion is perfectly ok when the code is not mission critical, for example for rapid prototyping.

Recursion is A BIG ERROR for mission critical software because it needs variable memory in the stack that depends on the implementation and depends on the other memory on the stack(depending on where it is called), creating stack overflows, breaking completely the system.

This means that you write software today for a car, it works fine. Tomorrow you reuse it for a motorcycle and only on specific cases it breaks dramatically, because the motorcycle people used another debugger or another OS with different assumptions.

Now when you debug something, you expect errors, and errors in the new code. But when something already runs and fails sporadically, it is extremely difficult to isolate the bug, because you can't see the bug but the cascade consequences of the bug.

"What if the solution using recursion results in more readable or declarative code?"

Recursion is something that looks perfectly ok in code,on paper could look gorgeous, but could fail terribly in the implementation.

The judge is not interested, when you say to her: yeah, it broke and killed someone, but it looks ok in the code!

"(especially with languages/compilers that do tail-call optimization properly?)"

If compilers were perfect, it will be no problem. On real life no compiler is perfect.

I'm not sure Gold is the greatest material. It's actually very ductile but not at all resistant

"Because of the softness of pure (24k) gold, it is usually alloyed with base metals for use in jewelry, altering its hardness and ductility, melting point, color and other properties."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold#Modern_applications
Asia pretty much equals China + India + a bunch of other much smaller countries. So if they said "asia", do they mean Japan where this might not go over as well, or India where gold is reserved almost exclusively for jewelry? Focusing on china instead is much more precise, even if the gold watch might be attractive in Malaysia and Vietnam also.
It seems to me that the information leading to the journo's tweet probably also preceded the news wire headline. I guess it's _possible_ the the tweet we written by somebody who saw the news wire headline as it hit the web, and they read it, understood it's importance, wrote and posted their tweet – all within 19 seconds (not _impossible_), but I'd be curious to know where the information for the news wire post came from. Somebody knew long enough before that headline got onto the web to have time to write it (and the article).

Its funny how strong the ideological stance exists among programmers.

Any comment making fun of windows always get upvoted even if its just anecdotal. My experience is also anecdotal and needs to be taken just a data point. Linux users seem to not be able to stomach any constructive criticism.

I tried using linux for a long time - the problem is life got in the way. I need to provide lab reports and do mathematics.
Linux is a hassle for any non-programmer. Maybe when I get a decent laptop like DELL XPS that can run linux I will give it another try.

For now though I am having to stick to a single ultrabook for various reason and linux is not friendly to new-comers.

Just my experience.
It's just the latest iteration of a repeating cycle. Interest rates were historically low in the 2001-2008 period as well due to the Fed lowering them to try and fight off the popping of the dotcom bubble. Many argue that this led directly to the housing bubble by flooding the economy with excessively cheap cash.

Most economists either work for universities or central banks. They are correct that it's a "problem" if your goal is to try and force people to spend money no matter what, against their better investment judgement. However as that goal is a bad one, there is in reality no problem.

I havent started my career yet, because I've been traveling and moving from the time I graduated. Most of the trips I do are sponsored through one program or another. How has it changed me and am I happy?

Well, I was/am introvert. First time moving away was to Istanbul, through exchange student program I was forced(guided basically) to socialize. It teached me how to make friends in any place I am, how to act in different cultures. Currently I am in Africa, Cameroon, volunteering. Been here for a month, and will be staying here for two months. No big concerns regards moving from europe to africa. How do I do it and what is my secret? I dont have place I call home in my country, so my home is where my ten things are. My home is where my laptop and my cameras are. I also try to find something to do on my travels. As I said, most of the trips are sponsored trough EU or some other program, this usually means I already have a contact ahead and my travels usually have a reason. Thanks to this there isnt usually a problem to kickstart my social life locally either. The most benefit I have gotten out of my trips are self discovery, through putting myself in new situations.

only regret? Sometimes I still think where would my career be if I had stayed back home.

anything bad? access online is quite s*it through out the places I have traveled.

But Linux is used by a vastly larger percentage of C++ programers.

As an amateur, I've found kdenlive and audacity provide decent video and audio editing on Linux. Professionals use Mac.

Typically installing Linux from scratch has involved less fiddling with drivers than installing windows from scratch on an empty laptop for a while now.

If you want a laptop with Linux support out of the box, you can pay for that and it will just work (e.g. http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd or http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/laptops.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=...)

Gaming is a fair point, but even that might be changing with Valves efforts.

I use Windows, Mac and Linux each, they all have their advantages, but for serious software development Linux is ahead of MacOsX and both are way ahead of Windows.
The point is that Bob is not putting in a $51m sell order when exchanges average $1m a day. You'll be hard pressed to find people with that kind of money. Entire funds have less than that, the Bitcoin Investment Trust for example, ran by Barry Silbert's Second Market, is a $36m asset fund.

Anyway, you can argue the exact numbers, I just mentioned some hypothetical ones. Fact is that big whales and spoofing does exist, it's a well known phenomenon on bitcoin exchanges, and of course is not unique to bitcoin. It's been part of any market place for a long time, it's called spoofing and it's usually illegal because it's manipulative and effective.

As for whether there is risk, yes of course there is risk. People still do it and it appears people have been successful. Especially in immature markets.

That's all well and good up to a point - but large production systems need repeatable builds that do not depend on the developers OS version or patch level. Eventually you have to vendor every dependency.
Your downvotes are (I guess) not for criticising Linux but for doing so in a flame-baity way.
I'm not really qualified here (and if someone is please post) but I've been poking around with the ECU on my 2001 audi and it doesn't seem to have ECC memory either. A section of the AM29F800BB eeprom is used as random-access memory. It seems to stick a couple CRC bits in every line so maybe this is how they're doing it?

On top of that, managers generally got into that position because they are solid communicators, work well in teams, and have organization skills.

I did this for a while, and then realized my use of SSL Everywhere combined with a HTTP only compression proxy was self defeating. The only way to get decent coverage is to have the proxy also bust SSL and then repackage it, which is completely undesirable because you lose fine grained control over certificates.

" … because they are solid communicators, work well in teams, and have organization skills."

And, in my experience, because those communication skills result in them asking for more money more often - and having good explanations ready about why it'd be a good outcome for both the manager and the company. Engineers are, to a first approximation, all woefully bad at asking for more money.

As someone with "ø" in my name I have long since accepted that much of the world is not able to spell my name correctly and moved on. There is no point in investing emotional capital in things that won't be fixed for years to come. I'm perfectly fine with "ø", "oe", "ö", and "o".

The first time I was credited in the foreword of a book published in the US my name was spelled with "\x" instead of "ø".

And it could have been worse. I could have been asian or persian. In which case my name would most likely have many westernized representations.

For the Apple watch edition, I doubt that Apple expects it to be a large revenue driver. It's an obvious marketing move to position the watch as a high end luxury item, to 'frame' the pricing discussion, and to generate buzz. This is a technique that companies (especially aspiration luxury brands) have used forever. Set the price of your A-level item unusually high and suddenly the price of your B-level item seems like a bargain. Where other e-watch makers are struggling at the $200-300 price point, Apple is selling its C-level watch at $350 and its (probable) volume seller B-level watch starting at $549 without any problem. I think they understand the human psychology of luxury purchase decisions pretty well. It's smart (and slightly evil), but I don't know how this will fit in long term with the rest of their products which are 'premium' but until now haven't pushed so far into 'luxury.' An iphone is slightly more expensive than an S6, but is perceived to be 'premium' in some way. Apple doesn't make diamond encrusted $10K phones even though their are luxury phone brands that do. This is new territory for Apple, not sure that I like it.
