Exactly. The tomatoes out of my non-organic plot taste identical to the ones out of my organic plot - and both beat store bought by a mile.

What you are saying is scientifically false. As in: there is no evidence this is true, and the opposite has in fact been demonstrated. It may FEEL like you're getting more nutrients - but you aren't. You are getting fewer traces of pestic

Maybe he isn't ignorant. Maybe he realizes that removing meat from our culture is more difficult than engineering more efficient agriculture. But really - North America is so agriculturally wealthy that is can afford to eat any way it lik

There's nothing wrong with you buying first-world, boutique food. Buy hydroponic vegetables if you want. You are not the problem: there aren't that many of you. The problem is that new age extremism has vilified Borlaug, and the very Gree

The opposite is true: kids in big cities live near their school, generally, while suburban kids - owing to sprawl, are more spread out.

My peeps, it is not necessary to give negative karma for someone expressing an honest and inoffensive opinion you don't agree with.

No, but it is driven by external pressures, which we could apply to artificial consciousness by hacking it :) Ok, artificial selection - but no reason we couldn't game it to be genetic.

Yeah, I don't know what their cost per watt is. Here's to hoping its good.

Of course I'm talking about those subset of problems which are CPU bound and also use huge data. As to why streaming is slow: I don't know. It just is. Check it out. C++ streaming performance is the pits.

And two Java as well. What the heck do they mean? What is GCC vs GCC #4?

Bid is in. Looking forward to this.

Actually, plenty of guys use Hadoop for CPU bound problems. And the fastest way to use it this way is Java, which is what the number crunching users of Hadoop use. Which is to say that the emerging big data compute platform is Java. Which

Hahaha, I don't know anyone who bootstrapped a startup to serious cash since 2002 in Atlanta, PERIOD - and I've looked really hard, talked to everyone in town - let alone that did it and kept a family.

Holy crap man, that is the most beautiful design, with the most clarity that I've just about ever seen on the web. Reminds me of a friend's Atlanta startup, http://ezprints.com/ It scaled pretty well.

by rjurney 17y ago
Yeah, who would do serious crunching using Java? Those Hadoop idiots!

A recent quote from a local VC: I've never known an entrepreneur to bootstrap a business to a big win who's marriage survived doing so. Which is what made me leave Atlanta for Silicon Valley.

I had green and bloody goo. I had a hard time breathing. I got through it. I did have some body aches. I did not have ANY GI symptoms, though. Or high fever, so they weren't too concerned. There is a hacking virus thing going around her

You're correct - because for what you get for that 20%, it is very small :) And if you'll notice, Java smoked the gcc C benchmark. By more than 20% :) Most 'managed language' programmers are happy to give up way more than 20% for the bene

Yeah... the table shows that memory usage is another story entirely :)

I was looking at doing BLAST searches on genetic data in Erlang and checked out the benchmarks for the algorithms on different languages. I was shocked to see the performance benchmark for FASTA on one of the benchmark sites: Java was only

Well, considering that their units are supposed to be something like 20%+ efficient... I think it should be pretty good?

Wait - you mean you can have swine flu and not have a high fever? I've been in bed for like 8 days with a cough, waterfall mucus production, bronchitis, and feeling terrible. I'm leaking out my right ear and have lost hearing on that side

Very happy to hear this, as we have a solar startup building a massive production facility in Atlanta - http://suniva.com/

If you don't have the tenacity to self-teach, maybe you shouldn't go to college. Tenacity is a much better selector than whatever we have going on in higher education now.

Sole introverts make terrible founders - startups are very social activities, if they go anywhere.

A critical masshole nearly bowled over the two guys ahead of me at a crosswalk today, while doing a super cool track stand, running a redlight, while we were crossing on a green cross signal. He topped it off by calling the gentleman he al
