She does not prove that claim, though. She argues that corruption causes bad models. For Silver's cause and effect analysis to be incorrect, she needed to prove that the inaccurate models had absolutely nothing to do with the financial me

In order for this to be true, she needed to make the argument that it is. She's not saying anything to that effect at all.

But it's not. She states: >Rather, the entire industry crucially depended on the false models. Indeed they changed the data to conform with the models, which is to say it was an intentional combination of using flawed models and using i

None of those bugs are resolved, so where was I wrong? In fact, there's this bug for H.264 support: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541286 It was raised in January, and it's status is: "RESOLVED WONTFIX" The stable Firefox bu

It might be the default settings on the compilers as well. I believe that in our environment, we set our warning level higher than the default, because a lot of the warnings(signed/unsigned mismatch, 32/64-bit pointers, etc.) can be an ind

foo()-with the parenthesis- is a function. foo-without the parenthesis-is a variable. That means that: Foo foo(); is a function pointer declaration within the scope of the main function. Since it's a function, which does not have me

It's been a while since I've done this(usually by accident), but I believe that GCC and Visual Studio both throw up a warning along the lines of "Type not defined, assuming int".

Firefox only supports H.264 on Win7 and above because MS provided a plugin for the MS-provided codec. I don't believe that OSX or Linux provide it, which is why Firefox does not support it natively. Hopefully this means that they've finall

While I agree that the facebook fears are probably overblown, the TOS' language does not comfort me at all. In fact, I think that the Verge is entirely wrong in that article(IANAL, etc.). This TOS tweak allows Instagram go sell your conten

>Perhaps they need the chip in there for patent licensing reasons. Actually, maybe someone can answer this. Does anyone know exactly what the cost is(both in licensing and materials) for a 4G LTE chip vs the antenna?

by cube13 14y ago
iFixit's teardown showed that the device does have a 4G LTE chip, just not an antenna. http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+4+Teardown/11781/3

This could also be the source of the delays. Google could be trying to pull the LTE chip from the device.

>Also, the problem isn't unknown hardware (as you would suggest by saying they should use "known hardware"). No, the failure point here is, essentially, unknown hardware from Google's perspective. Android is not coded to work specifica

Apple's approach(no OEMs at all, known hardware) would mitigate the problem somewhat. But that doesn't stop lazy idiots from screwing up at Apple, and it doesn't work for anyone that's providing a general-purpose OS. That's really about it

Usually, it's done well after the creator(s) are dead, and with the blessing of their estate. I just don't see that happening with software.

Thanks for that. I couldn't remember if it was the first, or second screen, and I did sign in with my Google account, since I do use all the destination features.

Searches, starred locations, etc. are not, though. Arguably, those are more important than location data.

One of the first screens you get to after installing the Google Maps app on iOS is the login for your Google account. Gruber's description doesn't seem that far off, considering that.

Or the state coordinated to take down the physical lines at the same time. Which I think is more likely, considering the relatively few points of failure.

by cube13 14y ago
That's kind of my point, though. If you can't guarantee that every layer below you is absolutely reliable, then you need to assume that everything below you might be broken, and that you need to handle it. You can't start with the mindset

MS Money was end of life'd at the end of January 2011( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2118008 ). It's possible that MS has archived the source off of their development repositories, since nobody should be doing anything with that code.

It might just be Apple invoking an early out clause. I think that's more likely, considering all the rumors that Apple is planning on opening their own chip fabs.
