Its pretty obvious if you read a CPI report yourself.

http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpid1505.pdf

Page 6 has the list and the weights of all goods per category. Housing is 42% of the CPI index, for example. Urban consumers vs Rural consumers are combined together, but the later tables split them out again.

People generally only talk about the single CPI number as an indicator in inflation. But a lot of work (and tables) go into that number.

Because too many people believe in "meritocracy", but forget that there are no real objective measures to decide who is better than the other. So it all too often falls to people to decide, and people have biases.

Maybe(in 10-20 years) We'll build analog imitations of the brain , with similar density and high power efficiency.

Or maybe we'll build other types of compute machines using analog electronics.

Maybe we'll replace digital multiplies with pseudo digital multipliers that use analog computation the background, and with other forms of non-exact computation.

Or We'll use photonics to analogically compute FFT's to multiply matrixes.

Or maybe we'll finally seriously and successfully invest in optical digital computing.

Or we'll crack quantum computing.
I should probably clarify my earlier comment, maybe an example will help: sending out a PR release for a game that's in development to larger tech news sites, like TechCrunch, is a good strategy because companies can build on the momentum of that initial announcement. It's definitely something that shouldn't be taken lightly, though, I totally agree with you there.

On further thought this probably won't work very well: the histogram of colour distances will be multimodal, with one peak for each color in the image (and with the peak corresponding to the white background being far taller than the others). The Otsu method assumes there is just a foreground and background that need to be separated.

A clustering method like k-means might work, but I've had a quick play in Matlab and the results weren't great.
Exactly. Knowing the type of audience you want to reach before making a PR move of any sort is crucial, and can vary widely depending on the type of product you're developing/the kind of company you are/the kind of coverage you want.
This is incredibly ironic as I've used Telerik components for internal app development in our organization and the amount of cruft that gets loaded is way damn high. The payload is high and round trips are numerous. I ditched all that and developed my own framework from scratch using the open source libraries and managed to reduce the payload and increase responsiveness.

At some point in the past, it made sense to pay Telerik boat loads of money to get libraries that were supposedly plug-and-play but now there are even better solutions available for free thanks to OSS!

Edit:

Sounds a lot like Flipboard doesn’t it? If you’re a publisher and you opt in,
you let Facebook control the distribution of your content, in return for a far
more performant experience for your readers, and presumably shared ad revenue
of some sorts.

This raised some red flags! Making Fbs(Facebook/Flipboard) the content platform just to reduce cruft and responsiveness appears to be a trojan horse and appears to have similar issues as discussed in the Fb Fraud thread [0]. Another possibility is Fbs(Facebook/Flipboard)would become the Comcasts of tomorrow. The distributed nature of the web is what makes it so invigorating and democratic and I think it would be a mistake to go the cable route.

I got an interview and an offer from a company that I found via http://whoishiring.it/ (featured a couple weeks ago, puts all the whoishiring posts on a map). In this case they took a while to reply because of the holiday week / weekend, but I've also had (non-HN) applications that just disappear into nothingness.
Full disclosure: I was at Startup Chile at the same time as the Regalli team. During pitch day they blew us away and I've been happy to watch their continuing success.

Last year I spent nearly the full year (along with others on my team) working to build a team, constantly attempting to hire for a variety of positions. For business positions we had a lot of female and minority applicants. For design positions there were female and minority applicants. For software there were very few (though we did over-represent in our hiring ultimately, because we lucked into some great candidates who happened to be ethnic minorities.)

Why is it that the %3 he refers to apparently more likely to seek business degrees, or art degrees than programming degrees? We certainly did have a diverse flow of candidates for those positions, but we did not for engineering. I don't think that metal detectors in schools are making people less likely to be a programmer.

I think its because programming has become a non-glamourous, non-respected profession. (Look at the wide use of the diminutive "coding" or "coder" and the patronizing words in the job applications "ninja rockstar"-- these are words you use with people you don't respect who you think are gullible. "You just might be the ninja rockstar coder we're looking for! And just because you're so special we'll be paying you 45 whole thousand dollars! Isn't that neat?"

We're pouring money like crazy into education- I read recently of a New Jersey school system which was spending 20,000 a student, and producing bad results. We've spent trillions on the war on poverty-- in fact, I read recently that something like $87,000 a year is spent per poor person. Hell, if you just gave them that money they wouldn't be poor anymore! Years ago I read that of the money that goes into the welfare system only %25 of it actually goes out in checks to welfare recipients, with %75 going into overhead.

The problem isn't a lack of money- we're spending it. The problem is a lack of incentivizes to spend that money wisely. Can you imagine a private school getting 20k per head and not producing well educated kids? Sure, it could happen, but it wouldn't stay in business for generations like public schools do.

We recognize that government is inefficient at a lot of things- basically everything. So why, if this is the most important thing, do we leave it in the hands of government? Sure if you want government to fund education, that's a different issue... but government is not good at delivering it.

I say this as a graduate of public schools, with the unique advantage of having changed schools more than once a year on average from first grade to graduation from high school. All of them were terrible. I even went to a state wide magnet school for my final two years-- it was not terrible, (my physics teacher taught at stanford, for instance, and would come teach us while working on the results of his experiments) .... but even it was nowhere near what it could have been.

The schools in the middle class neighborhoods are terrible. Why would we expect the poor neigborhoods not to be worse?
You are missing that yes, CPU designs are hobbled by the software industry shortcomings.

Also, you are overlooking that on the traditional architectures memory access becomes slower the more cores you add.

Better integrated GPU and better power consumption on PCs will win on almost all scores until the integrated GPU becomes good enough, and power consumption gets near the theoretical minimum. Then we'll probably see alternative architectures (more alternative than a GPU).

That's ridiculous. I never said "limit both sides to a budget of $10." I said same, or same-ish. Eliminating the massive disparity in justice that unlimited money can buy you is not going to "destroy civilization", and I don't have much respect for people who have to use hyperbolic threats of catastrophe to try and scare people away from a point.

Hey,

I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with a udacity nanodegree, either you've obtained 1 personally or have hired someone that has. I've worked the cost out, for me personally, to be around £400. Is this a worth while investment to add to my resume, do companies actually take it seriously?

No, but I'm not american so the media doesn't play that angle so much here. But, I'm not looking to berate anyone for flags. Nationalism/group thinking is part of how we work. If American flags are being used to explore the universe and take steps for mankind, I'm not mad at them. I also don't think americans are the worst at this, for all the flak they get.

On the other hand, I'm totally behind anyone who wants to internationalize it. Like I said, I'm pretty optimistic that if it starts people will dig it.

It seems like every person I know has problems with their sleep. My only reference is the United States. I wonder if other countries have such a high percentage of the population that has sleep problems?

I didn't read the article. I have read so many sleep studies; I have kinda given up on every having the sleep the kind of sleep I had up until about 25. I hate not getting enough sleep. To me, sleep is more important than money? I once remember thinking I would sell my soul to the devil in order to get some good, sound sleep. (God forgive me--just joking. Yea, I'm still not positive, and don't want to piss him off.)

I wouldn't expect the 10nm chips at least until mid-2017, which should put Intel neck in neck with TSMC and Samsung's 10nm processes, which at most might be launched a few months later.

It also looks like IBM and its partners (Samsung/Global Foundries) will actually beat Intel to 7nm (probably early/mid 2019 for Samsung/GF - late 2019/early 2020 for Intel).

While IBM is talking about EUV lithography, Intel still seems to be complaining about multi-pattern lithography, so it seems pretty clear that Intel is behind IBM for 7nm. They also haven't said anything yet about what materials they'll use for 7nm transistors, just that they will require something different than Silicon.

The best part about this is that now Intel can't hide the x86 baggage in mobile behind its one generation ahead process node, which made Atom more or less competitive (at least in performance and power consumption, but not in price).

With ARM chips on very similar process nodes and arriving at the same time on the market, there should be no contest for the ARM chips in mobile.

In my personal experience, charter schools in the nyc area are working wonders. I think that we could learn some things from that program.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_schools_in_the_United_...

While I admit that there's a self-selection bias with these schools--kids with parents who care about their education will apply for them to attend these schools, and those kids are much more likely to do better in school regardless, which has a self-compounding effect of better classroom environments--the quality of education I see in charter schools tends to be higher than that of standard public schools. At least from what I've seen.

Of course, the author also raises a lot of other points that aren't specific to schools: parents who are incarcerated, safety in the neighborhood, etc...

I used to write stuff down, but in my case on sheets of paper that got filed with the project. But I kept thinking "Dammit, I know I've met this problem before, what was the solution?".

ok. How much will you charge for such a morning?
for desktop systems, small number of fast cores is still better than multiple slower ones, since a lot of the software that would profit most isn't very well optimized for making use of many cores. IMHO there is not that much demand for better performance in bread-and-butter CPUs anyways, things like embedded graphics, power saving etc matter more.

The top desktop CPUs have 6 or 8 cores, and Intel Xeons go up to 18.

And there are the Intel Xeon-D and Atom Cxxxx, which go in the direction of having (at the moment up to 8) smaller cores and low energy usage, for tightly packed servers and networking devices. I guess once they get more established they might get higher-power counterparts with more cores.

And the Xeon Phi might get there, if Intel manages to do what they promise for future generations.

> each core seems to grow to fit the available space, with only adding a few instructions, which only add marginal utility. Not the same as doubling the number of cores, which would double theoretical performance.

The progress between generations isn't big enough to allow doubling the core count in the same envelope with the same per-core performance. So they only make the cores a bit better & slowly add a few cores (mostly to the high end).

high-end phones actually have quite a few cores in the meantime, but there they are staggered for different usage scenarios: a few slow, efficient cores combined with faster and more energy-hungry ones for high-performance tasks. But for most x86 systems that would "waste" to much of the chip I guess.

> but should CPU designs be hobbled simply because the software industry is not where it should be?

Designing CPUs for "the perfect software" is nice, but not what sells to the vast majority of the market. As listed above, there are quite a few niche lines that go in that direction, even if you just look at only Intels offerings.

Your argument is rooted in envy, not in an attempt to make anyone better off. All you propose is to make some people worse off so that the system can meet your criteria of fairness.
