We are still using email to this day as a relied-upon means of communication -- easy to spoof, difficult to secure, and commonly exploited for spam. I don't see this as a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

48-core ARM processors already exist[1] but via the vendor Cavium. The takeaway is that multi-core is continuing very much so. edit: I just looked; Intel has Haswell-based server processors with 24 physical cores[2] [1] http://ww

Laszlo Bock was interviewed on NPR last month[1] and part of the interview discussed the hiring process. They know they have created really unpleasant interviews for candidates. Starts around 14m25s. [1] http://www.npr.org/2

I think the main challenge isn't how to filter air at home, but when you are traveling outside, e.g., buying groceries, going to work, etc.

The German pronunciation guide also suggests ü sounds like the 'u' in 'ultra', but in reality it is more similar to Hubert[1] in English. Also 'z' is pronounced as 'ts' (not the suggested 'sea&#x

Interestingly, this argument was also examined in a recent conference [1] and the same conclusions are drawn. Specifically: applications are using high-level frameworks more (and POSIX less) which use platform-specific extensions, ioctl dom

I wonder what factors of game play create different advantages. For example, if per-turn time limits are below some threshold, whether humans would be at an advantage. It would certainly make for an interesting game.
