To be honest I think this article is making a lot off nothing. TL;DR: New models, higher prices. Keep the old models just in case someone is super price sensitive. It's not rocket science is it.

No one is saying that we should tax corporations based on how much their pay roll is. What we're saying is that the scale of those two numbers shows how ridiculously inadequate the current corporation tax laws are. Do you really think

I'm kind of conflicted about this. On the one hand I would've thought it were obvious to anyone that a private corporation shouldn't be compelled to conduct business with any other business. But on the other hand domain name

I think the obvious point is that whilst what photoshop does is very complex and computationally intensive, it's not new. The vast majority of the functionality in an average photoshop file is the same as was in the product 15 years ag

The Intel OpenCL SDK will allow you to get designs from code to running in hardware with no HDL. The problems you'll face won't be HDL related, they'll be crappy toolchain related. Having said that, if you don't know wha

Hi, professional FPGA developer here. A couple of things I would advise: Firstly, development kits are great - they provide the hardware you need and all of the IP to drive that hardware. Grab a dev kit - there are lot's of other posts

Does anyone else feel like Facebook's entire advertising platform is designed like Windows 95? You know, you could skip the log in window by hitting the ? button and then doing a bunch of stuff. It genuinely seems like a piece of softw

Your number 2 scenario is dead wrong. The reason the person is in that scenario in the first place is because they mis-judged the payoff from having the first degree. The likelihood they misjudge the second degree is just as high. In fact l

It's in the default METADATA branch in Julia: https://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl/tree/metadata-v2/FF... so you can just Pkg.add it rather than having to Pkg.clone it from a special source.

This is just a sensationalist snippet from the long read from the New Yorker that was on hacker news yesterday. The engineer responsible was fired from Google for forming his own company and eventually went to Uber which was the cause of th

It's worth noting that London has had a congestion zone for 15 years now and it wasn't particularly difficult technologically back then.

The problem I've always had with FFTs is that it's incredibly difficult to write an optimal FFT for X size, Y direction, Z variability (X=2^4-2^64, Y=FWD,REV,BIDIR, Z=2^4-2^(log2(X))) Does the metaprogramming element of FFTW work

The big problem with a down round is existing investors generally have protection against their shares being diluted, so the non-prefered holders get completely hosed since their shares have to get diluted even more to make up for the fac

Wow, this is a really bad take. One survey a year ago and then another survey immediately after a highly partisan supreme court fight? Why don't you just change the question to "Did Brett do it?"

I think this is a mis-reading of how China conducts business. China isn't interested in just establishing back doors in the dominant players in the market. They're interested in both dictating to foreign companies what they must c

Can we expect an incredibly long and petty diatribe from the accused author about how it was really all a meta-study to expose the 'grievance' cell research journals?

Absolutely, and additionally to this, it's not forming a well-behaved community, it's forming a community that behaves in the way this particular person likes. It's just as likely to be full of snark and bitching.
