Crowd-investing doesn't solve the question of business development, one of the other things VC do in addition to "lending" money.

The head is technically dead for a short time and kept refrigerated. Also keep in mind there is no signal to be received by the brain in the first place since the spinal chord has been severed.

I'm not sure I see the point. It's already extremly difficult to transplant one organ and make it last, so a whole body? Maybe as temporary measure while massive (deadly?) treatments are performed on the original body? Last but no

Well, if you were coding in C++ I would say "have a look at TBB". The thing is, text book implementations generally lack all the platform dependant details to make it efficient.

by shin_lao 13y ago
Which language? C? You did your own implementation? Sounds like you used the wrong stuff.

Which lock-free structure have you been using and for what purpose?

by shin_lao 13y ago
I can't see a stamp or a signature, it's therefore invalid AFAIK. The absence of middle name is also strange (if Mr. Snowden has one). Anyone with access to a printer within an Ecuador embassy can do that, but without the stamp an

Exactly. Sharing is free for reading only... The minute you write, the laws of physics are there to annoy you.

Lock free structures are as slow as your memory allocation scheme (nota bene: I've designed several lockfree structures). If you're clever about how you use them, it can be a big win. HLE isn't really HTM, but it's a fir

Before using HTM, I encourage the OP to use lockfree structures and atomics. Transactional memory is absolutely not free and certainly not a silver bullet. Additionally, without proper compiler support it's going to be very hard to use

Does it go around W8 protected boot? From what I understand it cannot. But how it goes around the signature requirement of drivers is very clever.

Not entirely true. Growth can be exponential, but the growing phase might be very long. Meaning that some business need money, grow steadily for several years and then go stratospheric.

To me, it says more about the company, and I wouldn't like to work in that kind of company. Basically these questions are made to make the interviewer look clever while not assessing any relevant skill. I've been far more often an

Exactly my thought. On top of my head: http://www.berthillon.fr/ http://www.grom.it/ A matter of taste?

I would probably walk away from an interview (if I ever have to do one again) with such questions. I would not be interested to work in an environment using that kind of filter to let people in.

It's the dose that makes the poison.

If you re-read my comment carefully, you will see I say it's probably easier to sabotage something else than try to do something overly technical. I'm pretty certain the Class C hasn't got the features you are talking about a

Please don't. The computer doesn't control the steering and breaks are mechanical. There's no remote control. Unless you sabotage the car, what you're saying is impossible. But if you sabotage the car, you don't nee

Why didn't they go native?

by shin_lao 13y ago
Try to solve with them a problem you currently have. If the candidate is adding value, it's a good sign. It doesn't mean you shouldn't assess the candidate's technical skills.

How is it different than Steam, other than speculating that Microsoft would never aggressively discount games as much as Steam does now (even though it took them several years for their store to be well-liked by gamers)? On Steam I can pl

I think they focus too much on algorithms and not enough on the technical implementation which is one of the major reasons why Hadoop is so slow.

I think it's impossible to really estimate how much an energy costs, because you could argue that you need to include the cost of potential accidents or the incertity of raw materials costs or the cost of not being able to produce ener

The SR22 is an excellent choice, however pardon me if I'll try to favour our European industry instead. :)

It's actually cheaper and faster to fly 1st, cut through all lines and be able to board at the last minute than to fly at Mach 1.
