Monopoly can be more restrictive actually. For example, if it is only a monopoly, the institution can grant the monopoly but restrict patent transfer/sale. Consider that most patent trolling companies are using patents they acquired, it may

It reminds me the Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Schmeiser case, in which, the IP on GMOs is clearly at odds with the land property rights of the owner.

That's why I always fork important libraries that my application relies on especially Facebook SDKs as most of them need some tuning to work in the first place (!). Yes, it takes some efforts to keep the library up to date, but it also avoi

I couldn't agree more. They don't have mortgages and debts, but my god, they put their life on risk every day. The homicide rates in New Guinea during 1960s to 1980s were really high.

The last time I heard, people in New Guinea do regular trading with outsiders to acquire living-essential goods such as guns, machetes and VCDs. This is globalization.

True. But I think that Facebook is making effort to dogfooding its Graph API, notably, its mobile website and mobile apps are all built off its Graph API (Yes, there are few private API calls, but I don't think that's a big deal as long as

No, you ignored that social network was not what it is today. And Facebook played an important role in shaping what the social network should look like. Google had its social networking site at that time, but they failed to iterate on it. F

Allowing people to subscribe you need you to opt-in first. It is not a default-to-opt-in thing.

IMHO, cluster algorithm is not perfect, and the penalty for false positive is simply too high. In that sense, a manually devised algorithm would more likely give you a controllable result. I believe that is the same logic why Google was res

Can you run the algorithm on graphic resource first to produce vector graphics and then do the emulator stuff? Seems to me feasible and you can run two copies of the game (one with vector graphics one without in the background to ensure the

Besides, if I remember correctly, the most convincing point of skip list is that it provides better concurrency. In the environment where python still have GIL, I would be skeptical about that.

Just an interesting note, from implementation perspective, random projection is used for both cases (LSH or CS).

It is not the same. It is free for search, download and stream, and Google China actually has a deal with big Chinese Record Labels. But from what learned years ago, it cannot stream music to mobile devices.

No, it is not about rebellion, it is about resource competition. And no, it is not Marxism, it is Darwinism. If we could ever give birth to the machine intelligence, and if AI can reach the same level as human, the resource competition can

From what I understand, the last AWS outage consisted of several Available Zone failures simultaneously. Thus, implementing multi-AZ fail-over won't help during the outage last time. But still, it is a step forward. Congrats!

Can you make the "network is homogeneous" assumption given that all servers are at the same datacenter? It seems to me that more or less is true if you make the latency resolution at millisecond level.

I never understand why JPEG XR ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XR ) didn't take off. It seems that Microsoft really has some management problem to push things forward or they simply don't care that much about it after all.

The whole argument of "bubble" is not about importance of higher education, rather, it argues that the cost is not justified. As a side note, I applied Facebook for internship when I have taken no CS classes in my college at all, and they a

I failed to see the merit of such deal. In the high-end market, Baidu is notorious for its reputation. In the low-end market, Baidu cannot compete with Sina or Tencent, even RenRen. Facebook cannot enter a market with zero traction of socia

I am not familiar with inner mechanism of Dropbox, so the following comment only comes from my daily use: Is Dropbox a storage service or sync service? I more felt like the latter. Dropbox aggressively cache everything in your Dropbox folde

The problem of "when hungry, eat. When tired, sleep" is: In modern societies, our inner evolutionary traits still work, but the environment changed. For example, some food are more satisfying than others, and we feel less full when we indee

It should be noted that the OpenCV implementation the article mentioned (I believe it refers to cvCanny) is highly optimized to integer operation - word8 (there are several approximation used to avoid computing arctan).

No, technology doesn't work in that way: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000018.html Google analyzes tons of data because they have too. As the parent post said, the "NSA analogy" is wrong because it has a very wrong proposi

Transactional memory is easier to work with. But as long as you have strong consistency guarantee, I doubt any significant performance boost will come with that.
