There are a lot of assumptions in your post, but I guess that's implied given you are talking about perceptions.

At least for me I tend to trust MS (at least the new MS) more than I do apple or even google.
For me the killer feature would be some form of user profile, with segregated history and cookies.

I use Chrome because I can have two browser windows, one where I'm logged in to all my work tools and my work Gmail account, and another window where I look at Twitter and HN and I can have my personal Gmail account open.

I'll happily switch to Safari if they give me that. Chrome's general CPU usage aside, it performs especially terrible when using Google's very own products: video Hangouts (for work) and YouTube.

Google Hangouts in Chrome will set my Retina MBP on fire, but if I log in and join the Hangout in Safari, all is well again.
I love this idea - I just submitted it as a suggestion in the feedback app.
I experience so many more random beach balls using Safari that I never experience using Chrome. That is why I use Chrome.
IIRC, that's what Apple is trying to do: they'll provide all kinds of cloud services, but in a way that they know as little as possible about the content beyond what's vital to providing the relevant service.

Apple is trying to sell hardware, which a robust encrypted cloud experience tied to that hardware will do.

Microsoft is trying to make money from the operating system; since they're giving it away for free, they have to sell commercial access to third parties (ads in the Start menu? really?).

Google, well, I assume they're out to mine as much data as possible, whether or not it's user-specific.
The real problem is getting 1 exaflop (or around it) within a reasonable power budget. The DOE's power budget for all of their supercomputing resources is 20 Megawatts, so at a full system level we would need to be at 50 GFLOPs per watt, while the best system right now is at 5.
How do they spy on you? There's no suspicious network traffic leaving my Mac. They might collect info about Siri queries or downloaded apps, but they're certainly not logging keystrokes from OS X or iOS.

I recall setting obj.__class__ in Python (kind of the same thing – though without the notion of slots), but I can't recall why that was useful. Hot-reloading is the one case I can think of (one of the things mentioned).
You've had targeted ads on your XBox homescreen for a long time; a core OS feature of the iPhone is the app store, which features targeted ads. When app discovery becomes a part of the OS, advertising seems to naturally follow.
> It is owned by a major media company I'm not allowed to disclose.

I don't understand this. If the patents are public, why shouldn't the owners be as well?
Minimum photo size is 1280px (width). As far as I know iPhones have 8MP cameras. Unless you crop it to 50% the size it should work just fine. Also, there's an iOS app coming in a couple of weeks which will make uploading from iPhone much, much easier.
Excuse me if I just don't fully comprehend your argument, but isn't FOSS an orthogonal issue to this? After all, even if software is open source, that doesn't stop it from mining your data. You just know that they are doing so. I suppose you can remove that feature, but it seems you're also able to disable the features here as well.

In any case, I'm all for FOSS but it doesn't seem to be a solution to this problem, which admittedly, is not even really a problem to everyone.
CG isn't truly asynchronous due to its reductions. It can be pipelined in various ways (we have several implementations in PETSc), but performance requires a quality implementation of asynchronous reduction (e.g., MPI_Iallreduce) which the vendors have been slow about developing (I've been working with some on fixing this and Cray has made recent progress).

With respect to deep learning and other applications using CG or related algorithms, the bottlenecks depend on the scale, and ability to expose locality, and operator/preconditioner representation. If there is no locality, then matrix-vector products require all-to-all communication which tend to dwarf the cost of the reductions in CG. Even with locality in the matrix-vector product, preconditioners often need to communicate globally in a scalable way similar to HPGMG. Operators need not be represented as a table of numbers or a sparse matrix format, but could use a tensor product, fast transform, or other information to compute the action using less storage. If they are represented explicitly (sparse or dense), then matrix-vector product performance (thus CG as a whole) is dominated by memory bandwidth for problem sizes that do not fit in cache. HPGMG tries to strike a balance between memory bandwidth demands and compute using a matrix-free representation. HPGMG also reports dynamic range expressed as Performance versus Time-to-solution as the problem size is varied, which allows applications to see performance barriers that might be relevant to them (e.g., see how Titan cannot do a solve in less than 200 ms while Edison can do 50 ms, and how that relates to climate simulation performance targets; see slide 7 of https://jedbrown.org/files/20150624-Versatility.pdf).
A way was not yet found to fire Madoff's regulators. (In fact a way should have been found to put them behind bars for a couple of decades.) So regarding firing patent examiners, I'm not holding my breath.

Valid point. I am looking for answers in US. Both in SF and NYC.

Eww on emacs is also quite efficient, if power efficiency is a concern for you especially in low battery conditions.
> Apparently the existence of GS did not actually allow regulators to have this magic culture and prevent the S&L crisis.

Banking and S&L regulations were two separate structures, with different regulatory organizations, and, presumably therefore, somewhat isolated organizational cultures in those organizations. Even if GS had an effect on regulatory culture in banking regulation outside of its specific restrictions, there's no reason it would have had the same effect on S&L regulatory culture.

There are lots of legitimate arguments that might be marshaled against the proposition that eliminating GS enabled the 2000s banking crisis through its effect on the relevant regulatory culture rather than its specific rules, but "the 1980s S&L crisis happened with GS in place" isn't among them.
Familiarity is a good clue, but the difference is really just informality, which you can also have with strangers especially if there is any sense of solidarity.

If you meet someone who is very low-key and egalitarian like an old hippie or punk or the like, you may actually alienate them with "fake" responses because it is fake and not open, and might imply that you perceive a status difference.

But even with a status difference, someone working as a valet could say to a somewhat uptight and wealthy customer "hot day", or similar, and if the customer is not totally mean and uncool he will respond pleasantly to this and the formality level will be a bit reduced. But someone who thinks he is high-status probably doesn't want to hear a long paragraph about the valet's life, because that guy is an asshole. It is true that a man shouldn't complain to people that his wife is on her period without extreme caution at best.

In the same way, I cannot go around using "du" or "tu" with everyone I meet either and "too much information" is a thing almost anywhere.
I don't really agree with your premise.

I'm well aware of how phones handle speech recognition; there are reasons they do so via services that have little to do with the computational difficulty of speech recognition. It's not by any means necessary to upload raw voice data to a server and process it there, especially if we're talking about full computers rather than just phones.

> And connecting to O365 calendars offline? Is that not a stupid concept?

I said "local", not "offline". Though in any case, you should likely have a locally synced cache of your calendar for efficiency and the ability to read it offline. Web apps are quite capable of working while offline.

At this stage in your career is pick whichever one you are going to learn more from in terms of working with great people. By the way you worded it it sounds like the .net shop will have more people senior to you and therefore may be a better learning experience.

Perks and even salary at this point are far behind the benefits of working with an excellent team you can learn from, in my opinion.
Your key is too short - it's not possible for it to be information-theoretically secure. That's just one of its obvious faults: it looks like it doesn't even work all of the time, the system generates a key instead of taking on as input, the data undergoes unnecessary expansion, etc etc etc.
I think it's important to highlight that these benefits aren't exclusive to Safari; they encompass all of WebKit on OS X. Unlike Google who has inexorably tied Blink to Chrome, Apple pours most of its efforts into WebKit itself. As such, any developer using WebKit, especially on OS X, gets these benefits.

A great example is how each browser handles per-tab processes: with Chrome, this architecture is part of Chrome itself. In contrast, Safari's implementation is baked in at the framework level with WebKit.

The WebKit dev team really pushes for power efficiency in a much bigger way than the Chrome dev team does. Things like heavy JS and content blocking lists getting compiled down into bytecode via LLVM are both products of the WebKit dev team's focus on the race to idle.

I think it's also worth noting that there is a large difference in the two companies' vision for the web: Apple sees the browser as a vehicle for viewing websites. Google sees it as something more akin to an operating system. As such, it's only natural that their end goals are different.
It says clearly "change the class rather than X". So X is not the same changing the class, right?

Traversing the heap and actually replacing references could actually be a good trade-off. It means that class objects don't need to be implemented as handles which point to the real implementation, just in case someone uses change-class. It depends on how often change-class is done.

change-class could tie in to a generational garbage collector. If change-class is done on a baby object, we know that the tenured objects do not point backward to that object, so we don't have to traverse them. Only other baby objects (and of course areas like stack frames and registers).
IAANAL, but I do deal with these topics from a technical point of view.

"look and feel" are generally a part of Trademark law, not Copyright law. More specifically, Trademark law deals with concept of "customer confusion".

Copyright deals generally with "expression", and generally does not cover what something looks like. So for example, it's possible to copyright the textual rules of a game, but it's not possible to copyright a particular style of game. Which is why it's generally legal to clone something.

It would not legal to do what the person has been been accused of here, which was to substantially copy the original code.

The reason why Trademark/Copyright generally get mixed up with regards to clones is because:

1.) It's actual copy of the original source code, and thus is a copyright violation

2.) It's a "from scratch" clone of the game elements, but mentions the original work in a way that doesn't make it clear to the consumer that it's not actually the original, which is a Trademark violation

3.) It's a "from scratch" clone of the game elements, and mentions specifically that it takes inspiration from the original, but makes it clear that it's not the original. But the original creator doesn't like it, and they are really mad that "anyone can steal my work", and the original creator bills it as a Copyright/Trademark infringement when it's really not.

Assuming the complaint is correct, this is obviously a case of #1. It's been ruled that a literal translation from one language to another is a "mechanical translation", and is not deserving of it's own copyright.

Obviously this is a very coarse overview of a very complicated framework, but should hopefully provide a little more insight in to what the actual law is.
Having done this for a small biz (<20 employees) recently a couple of comparison points:

a) We spent about $5000 to set up with an attorney.

b) It's a !@%!@ nightmare to deal with the guy, with the taxes, etc. I would estimate 20 - 40 hours of set-up time for me, 1hr a month of ongoing paperwork and administration.

c) It's at LEAST $2500/yr to administer with the variety of little fees.

d) It's not straightforward for employees.

So suffice to say at $90/mo + $4 per this is a compelling offer.

Patents are for particular methods of doing this. You can't reduce all patents to "moving atoms and molecules around in different configurations" claim prior art, and invalidate all past, present and future patents.

To illustrate this, a patent (as originally intended at least) wouldn't be for something broad like "walking down the street" but maybe for something more like "walking down the street with a particular gait."

While I don't necessarily agree with the patent system, it detracts from the conversation with it's not an informed discussion.

Windows 10 RTM has peer to peer updates over the internet as the default. I could swear it defaulted to local-only in the preview, so I didn't even check it until now after doing a clean install of RTM.
Which is a great reason why we should be seeking better authentication systems than memorizing random passwords. Or providing people with another means of backup; for instance, provide options to both "back up via print" and "back up to USB device", in both cases providing something you could then store in a secure location.
> A garbage collector has more access than an application programmer...

That's generally true, although there's no reason it has to be: a runtime could provide an API giving the application programmer equivalent access.

It would probably constitute a giant foot-gun, though.
Couple problems: that would be a dramatic change to the front page; and evidence suggests that people would eventually just tune out the /newest part.

We tested randomly placing stories from /newest onto the front page, but it didn't work—the median story is far too poor in quality. It basically just mixed junk into the front page, arguably the worst thing one could do to the front page. If we had rolled that out to everyone as a feature, the main effect would have been a spike in "why is this on Hacker News" comments.

Opting out still leaves all the non-technical people who don't know about or understand the opt-out to whatever abuse MS (et al) wants to put in the OS?

Worse, you are still financially supporting these decisions by either buying the OS or adding to the usage counts. By "opting out" while still using the OS, you're still asking for more of this crap in the future.

>Since 2007, the New York City DEP has multiple programs to combat the illicit opening of the city’s hydrants. With very few exceptions, you can go to pretty much any firehouse in the five boroughs and ask for a spray cap. The fire department will come to the hydrant of your choosing, open it up for about 12 hours, and install a cap that creates several thinner streams of water, like a giant lawn sprinkler. This cap uses only about 25 gallons of water per minute

> And the DEP has a team called the Hydrant Education Action Team (HEAT), arrays of volunteer teens who go around their neighborhoods telling people about the dangers of opening hydrants and the benefits of spray caps.

> In object-oriented languages (like c++ or java), changing an object's class usually involve "up-casting" or "down-casting".

No, in static-typed OO languages that work like C++ and Java, "upcasting" and "downcasting" are means of telling the typechecker that you wish to use an object of one class as if it were a different class lower or higher in a class hierarchy, it doesn't have any effect on the actual class of the object.
My rejection of the argument is based on the entitlement of people who make it. "I never would have paid for something, therefore I deserve it for free!"

- the system can be updated to take a key as input.

Power is over-emphasized in HPC circles. According to FOIA reports (and you can back out similar from public budget information), less than 10% of the budget is going to energy. It is frequently used as an excuse to build machines that are inappropriate for the science (not just "hard to program", but actually inappropriate in the sense that even with infinite programming effort, they deliver less scientific value than a more conventional architecture). There is some value in making scientists uncomfortable so that they think of creative algorithmic solutions that may pay off as the inevitabilities of semiconductor physics become more apparent, but seeing the number of applications that are within small constant factors of proven barriers and the willingness to compromise quality of solution and/or run scientifically irrelevant configurations to demonstrate "speedup", I think it has gone too far.
