What I find interesting is that Aleynikov (and the sources I've read about him) claim the code was open source. The issue of Goldman making false claim to GPLed or similarly licensed code hasn't come up.
If the court ruled that modified GPLed code can't be taken by an exiting employee then that has a whole host of other implications.

Intel does see competition, but not on the high end. They are afraid of ARM creeping up on them on the low end.

Intel has smartphone envy, and both Intel and Microsoft bet big that PCs were going to go to tablet form factors. Maybe they will (USB C will be a factor, but they really need to take the trackpads out of convertables. When people look at a tablet they say "I need a keyboard and I need a mouse", they don't say "I need a trackpad". They see a convertable and say "The trackpad sux" and the response is to make the trackpad bigger.)

Clayton Christiansen's gospel has been thoroughly internalized by tech giants that don't want to be the next Kodak, but today it means companies like Intel are happy to stiff their current customers to get customers they don't have yet.
I've seen that one before. My optics prof was planning on testing it out for the undergrad classes, where the precision was within tolerances. It was gonna free up a few grand worth of optics equipment to go into the grad level labs and the research labs. He seemed pretty pumped about it.

It depends on how high your standards are. If you're a perfectionist then you're going to be forever embarrassed. Meanwhile the general public finds your product to be perfectly usable and useful, because they aren't running into any of the bugs that exist.
But how is this is possible? Diameter of silicon atom is 0.2nm and we need at least several atoms to create a transistor. I am sure Intel will be able to fulfill its roadmap to 4nm, maybe 2nm, but at this size quantum effects are so large, that everything should be changed.
Ah, I didn't know that the hormones were excreted via urine.

Also, that link mostly talks about hormonal menopause therapy, and oddly only mentions the BC pill in passing, noting that only high-dosage pills seem to be linked to cancer.

Curious what OP's general thoughts on Meteor are—obviously this is more modular and less tied to a specific (arguably monolithic) design model. It'd be really nice if [ungendered personal pronoun] made an ultra-simple walkthrough tutorial a la Meteor's ;)
Yeah, I have been looking at why production rules systems (OPS5, Drools, IBM ILOG, etc.) have not caught on and I think one of the problems is that most of these systems make you give every rule a name, which is like saying every line of source code has to have a name.
Google Maps already uses some data from Waze (like route closures and accidents) though I really wish the Waze directions were fixed to match Google Maps. A combined app (or at least more unified set of two apps) would be amazing.
I'll make a complaint on the way this article is written which I think is quite damaging: the sense that all of this work is being done by "scientists" and "experts" who will develop this technology in their ivory towers and make it available to the public at some point. Just wait around and you will be handed these gifts.

This style sucks because it separates the reader from "experts" (you are not one), and it implies that you cannot participate even by intent. Experts will decide what is best for you, and you must receive it and like it. The notion that the future is something produced by a few and the majority only receive it passively is an affront to a free society.
I thought to some degree it does, given the stated 'independence' of GV but the thick spreading of association with Google. Perhaps that is why GV and GC exist, to support technological development, and help spur innovation at the mothership? Google can then acquire the incubated companies or become firmly connected with them.

The GPU takes resources and put pressure on the design, at the expense of CPU logic. I think what he meant to say is that an intel CPU-only could devote more transistor to logic without having to deal with so much heat which might still be a problem at 10nm.

This is one of the few useful products I've seen showcased in HN over the years (congrats!), based on concept - I haven't tested the implementation, but you've picked a great market.

One piece of feedback is that your pricing is way too low. Start at $99/month. Get rid of the free plan, as it accomplishes nothing for you. Most businesses are either mom and pop stores that will get by with the free plan, or businesses with more than 1 location. And the mom and pop businesses probably aren't the type of ppl that will write influential reviews that will recommend you to other users.
Thanks, makes sense for this case. I'm still wondering though, say for a purely electric plane designed for this type of VTOL from the ground up, is it workable?

Couldn't the large area of the wings counteract the counter rotation or at decrease it to an acceptable level?
This has been shown to be wrong. Basically the only thing abstinence only education does is delay by a year or two, the age at which people first have sex.

Good idea, great ability for companies who can make or break on reputation to track what people are saying across all manner of review sites. Have you thought about integrating into any other social media monitoring aggregators like HootSuite? Any plans to let people reply to reviews through your software?

I've met him a couple of times at gaming/pinball events. He's definitely one who suffers from being told one too many times that he's a genius. Walter Day is as guilty of that as anyone else is.

If you get him talking about something other than arcade games he's a bit more down to earth, though.

Definitely a larger-than-life personality.
Backstory: St Louis is the one of the largest US markets in the country that doesn't have UberX.

By state law, 4 of the 9 members sitting on the taxi commission must be taxi fleet owners, and at least one driver. The current sitting chairman of the taxi commission is a notorious professional lobbyist.

The taxi commission has decided that while they typically accept emailed comments on matters before the commission, they will only accept actual written letters or faxes for public comment regarding UberX. So now Uber is offering to hand-deliver letters.

I would argue invasive is fine, what we need is reliably reversible. Vasectomies can be reversed, but it's a big if at any juncture.
That may be true, but many women upon receiving an IUD actually find that after a few months their menstrual cycles stabilize and decrease.

It's such a pronounced effect that doctors use certain types of IUDs to help stabilize certain conditions. It doesn't help everyone with this, but it helps enough people that it's worth trying.
I think that's a little bit of an excessively simple viewpoint. The US army does much more than Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and drones (in fact, a lot of what you just described is probably managed by agents outside the army such as the CIA). To flip this around, should every employee of a Silicon Valley company be shamed for rising property values in the area that have left many homeless? Should every Google employee be shamed for the illegal wifi capture done by Streetview vans?

> Naming is hard because it's a different kind of thinking from the rest of programming. We are coding along, in a nice engineering flow, and all of a sudden, we need a nice, human-readable name. We need to find compassion for the reader from within our cold, calculating programmer trance. This is very difficult.

This makes me think of prescription drugs, and how they all have 2 names, one for marketing to the public, and one for marketing to doctors. [e.g. "Ask your doctor if Savator is right for you. (Dipromelexeline)"]
What relevance does this have to the parent, or my, comment?
Well technically, any modifications you make to GPL code are still owned by your employer. Now if the modified code gets distributed by your employer, THEY are the ones that are under obligation to make the source available. But if they don't redistribute any of the code, then the GPL specifically allows them to keep the changes proprietary.

I too, would personally prefer a command line REPL. But sometimes you are interested enough in a thing to try it out, but not interested enough to install things. Coq, in particular, is a pretty brutal installation process if you aren't already an emacs user. These web REPL's are great for reducing the friction necessary to try something out, and thereby getting people more interested. This one in particular is a big win for convenience over existing tooling.

I will add, I think it can be very disheartening for people who put a lot of their own time into making something happen and then having a random commenter say, 'Yeah, but I would rather have had something else, that wasn't at all the project you set out to make.'
> Shouldn't poor judgement have negative lifestyle outcomes?

That's absurd. Having unprotected sex would not constitute "poor judgement" if there were no possible negative outcomes.

There is one other comment on this post, so the problem probably has to do with the "Comment As" choice and whether you are logged in to that service.
Bleh.

I think the software development industry should stop doing such a disservice to itself, and start funding more scientific studies in software development.

Random, almost shower-thought hypotheses like 'naming things is hard - we should stop doing it' are given way too much credibility with nothing to back them up.
Some also have more sex after that...
That is true, but it all ultimately comes down to some sort of financial loss. Car theft is damaging to the extent that the car is worth a certain amount of money. (This is ignoring the potential emotional connection which, while it can be strong, is mostly ignored in the law.) That we put car thieves in prison means that we're willing to imprison people for purely financial losses. If code theft causes a financial loss (and there's nothing inherently absurd about that as a possibility) then why wouldn't prison be a possibility there?
What happens now when the power goes out and semaphores in a whole town turn black? An essential aspect of any critical automated system must be the possibility to turn it off and operate it on manual mode, where the same tasks can still be achieved even if in a less efficient way.

> What if there aren't enough humans around to take over capably?

Making the whole society depend on automated tasks that can't be achieved by hand is a suicidal proposition, as the whole building will collapse with the first error that brings the system to a stop.

In the case of air traffic control, it would be a criminal negligence to operate a high volume of flights
without having at least the number of human controllers needed to bring down all the planes to the nearest airport safely.

If that means that the system won't provide the same efficiency that could be theoretically achieved by a perfect automated system that never fails, so be it - that's the real meaningful moral choice.
I'm so tired of hearing this. If you copy a $100 bill that belongs to someone else, the original owner also still has it.

> who is interested in tech, sees this. What will she think her success depends on?

Is this success though? I think this is being overanalyzed. Here an attractive woman who also like DIY stuff is showing up how she made her skirt, but I think that is far from "success" (also which definition of success?).

Some people would look at her body and others would look at what she did. If my hypothetical daughter would have those doubts I would tell her to focus on what this woman did instead on how she look.

>What prospects will she see to be a hacker and escape being pigeon-holed as a sex object in a community and in offices full of young men?

Well that's this young woman problem (although I suspect she likes the attention). For other women in tech, I think they can follow other path and still get recognition (Who doesn't love Lady Ada creations?)

What I've been told is that, while fertilizers obviously help a lot, they aren't a panacea and the plant still needs to do some expensive nitrogen chemistry which will set limits to its growth, regardless of how much energy it gets from photosynthesis.
Yes, but now we've clearly abandoned the familiarity of the analogy, making it less clear how much value the analogy has in illuminating what we're trying to say.
Just seems like they're backing off from publicly committing to a timeline (and probably giving themselves more time to get 10nm right). Which makes a lot of sense given how 14nm went and how long it took to get yields up to acceptable levels.

http://forwardthinking.pcmag.com/none/329835-intel-sees-path...

> Krzanich said the company thinks it signaled too much of its intentions to the industry about its 14nm plans, so "we'll be a bit more prudent in releasing information" about new manufacturing nodes. He wouldn't commit to the company's familiar Tick/Tock cadence of releasing a new process node one year and a new architecture the following year, though Smith said the company expects to be on a "fairly normal cadence" and "will talk about 10 nm in the next 12 or 18 months when appropriate."

They've stated in the past and recently reiterated that they have a clear path to 10nm.

Sherlock (or Doyle) says it best. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."

Petzold does a really good job of debunking the original claim that the US is not statistically significant when it comes to the number of mass shootings. However, all of the effort he goes through only points to one conclusion: the number of shootings we have in the US isn't statistically random. All this means is that there's something causing the rate of shootings to be higher here than is expected by random influences. It doesn't point to what that cause is.

It's odd to see how statistics are abused by interest groups/media. Intuition is usually a pretty good yardstick for the validity of a statistic, insofar as knowing what kinds of conclusions should be able to be drawn from what kinds of data. If you've got a bunch of data about who likes what flavor of ice cream, it's not likely that data says anything about /why/ each person likes what they like. In the same way, it doesn't matter if you say that the US is normal when it comes to number of shootings or to say that it's abnormal as Petzold does, when you try to say /why/ this is the case, you better be drawing direct conclusions from your data.
Yes, it will. Plants need nitrogen to make proteins, and the most abundant protein in plants is RuBisCO - the one that fixes CO2 in the air into carbohydrates to store the energy from sunlight.

Most plants have to produce a vast amount of RuBisCO to make up for the fact that photosynthesis is so inefficient. By making it more efficient, we reduce the amount of RuBisCO needed and therefore reduce the nitrogen required.

C4 plants are much more nitrogen efficient than C3 plants.
From a design standpoint, great job on the site! I love all the little interactions and attention to detail. I also like the overall scope of the service and will use it personally. Awesome job and good luck in your future!
