Thanks for fixing this up. It really is an excellent article.

I didn't say it is better. I said it doesn't matter if it's leaps and bounds better. Everyone hates them worse than The Devil and there's nothing that can be done about it regardless of ecosystem and devices. People just

It doesn't matter if their flagship phone that's out today is better than any mobile device that comes out in the next ten years. The customer has a grudge against them and decided they're losers. I could only image how much

It sets the tone of world affairs. If things went slightly worse in the last few days, there could have been WWIII. I think "hey, we've backed off a bit from dying in a nuclear hellfire" is somewhat relevant. :)

This double standard is what makes America an exceptional nation. ;)

And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States’ policy is “what makes America different. It’s what makes us exceptional.” It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see them

Because it's America and anything that implicates Israel in any wrongdoing is to be silenced.

Apparently, everything you do in bash is useless unless you're playing bash golf. Nevermind the fact that the commands still output what you want.

They still have a large stake in GloFo, but you're right. It's been the trend for a while.

But whereas Intel divested itself of its ARM-based XScale chip business several years back, AMD let it be known earlier this year that it planned to expand into ARM territory. 1) Bravo on moving to ARM, AMD! 2) It's not like you had

Good read. I find this article portrays a more traditional style of marriage and love where love is more metaphysical than feeling and how the devotion to the marriage and not the romance made it work.

When there's a decrease in the loans going out, there's a decrease on the payments coming in at a future date. When there's a decrease in the loans going out, there's a decrease in the demand for education services causi

I don't even understand how the notion of a "student loan bubble" makes sense, since people don't "speculate" on college like they speculate on real estate. This is exactly what's going on. They're

Students are getting loans from the government on terms that they wouldn't be getting from the bank. That creates more effective demand for schools which drives up the price of tuition. If the banks did this and the student/gradua

If colleges raise prices, won't this make it more attractive/affordable for new colleges to open, thus increasing supply? Yes. Hence "bubble". The government did everything in its power to funnel money into housing bac

The irony is that we are in an age of scientism (as Feynman would say) and it's precisely the popularization of science itself that has led to 'pseudo-measurability' that you speak of. Metrics, metrics, metrics... even if y

Let me try a guess: They draw radical conclusions from their research which cause alarm/concern/interest to those who have no idea about the body of research but grant funding in order to get more funding?

I don't get why this post was downvoted. This is the exact attitude that almost all people effectively have. It is important to bring up this point and demonstrate it. They'll go as far as signing a petition, but the effort/r

What democracy has done is try and take power away from disparate parties, and concentrate much of it in the hands of an elected body. This doesn't always work well, but this main idea is a good one. Government, like any large human u

I negotiate on mutual goals, and how to achieve them. I also do my best to leave no room for egos. It does cut out a lot of people. But they tend to be the people you really don't want to be dealing with anyways. Egos cloud judgment an

It would be smart to focus on ARM as a long-term strategy. There is a huge investment and legacy in x86 but if history is right, ARM will eat up x86 from the bottom-up just like x86 did to the other ISA's.

People are more interested in appeasing their "poor person abstraction guilt complex" than in actually looking for truth and pointing out potential problems. It's more important to ease one's guilt about the abstract not

Functional programming doesn't make sense for this sort of thing as you can't define a circuit recursively. Mitrion-C is an example of a higher-level functional language aimed at configuring FPGAs. It's pretty useless unless

Literally no one ever claimed that, or so much as implied that, a single year of my own public schooling. No one did imply it in their comments. People just tend to live this way. Likewise I don't see PTA members going around with a

I don't have the patience that you do. It must be the result of public schooling. ;) I can't be bothered to speak about this topic with people, who like me, suffered public education. To suggest that state-wide/nationwide edu
