Well, it stands to reason that the majority of the titles don't return their costs, like in the publishing and music worlds. It's the few blockbusters that effectively subsidize everybody else, though no one seems to be able to id

Whoa, this is the first time the ABI has been deliberately broken since, what, 3.4? I see it's due to the small string optimization and a std::list that tracks its size, which will be nice but I don't know it's worth breaking

It depends on how you count, due to overlap, such as rice paddies that are flooded with water releases that eventually head downstream. That could be counted under environmental or ag. If you take out the environmental water, ag is 80%.

Almonds get something of a bad rap because they are moderately water-intensive (1 gallon per almond) but they are also highly profitable. So it makes sense to grow them. Rice is frequently grown using the water that is released for wildlife

The people consume only a fraction of the water and it's dishonest in the extreme to say that things would be "fine" without them. Each ton of alfalfa in California consumes more water than a family uses in a year and yet sel

Is there any explanation for the bricking on power cycle? The reads should be fine forever.

How is the grantee code and product name split up? I tried both Q3EMB R1G1 and Q3E MB-R1G1 without success. Thanks.

The "best" device is also one that is hard for their competitors to manufacture. The strategy is to dump a huge amount of money into a competitive advantage that's not easy to duplicate. Charge a huge premium by being out in

226 ppi, apparently. Straight pixel doubling would be a pretty small screen in terms of logical pixels, to be sure.

Well, it never really took off outside the Mac world. This may be an improvement. I look at my Mac Mini that currently has power, Thunderbolt display, 3 disks, USB hub with 30-pin and Lightning, and DVD, though, and wonder WTF they are thin

> You're thinking of mutual funds. Hedge funds as a class do outperform the market, even after fees. False. Lousy studies of hedge funds show they outperform, but the second you take into account survivor bias, the opposite is true.

Do you have a cite for this? I thought Google looked at interviewers and found that no particular interviewer did any better than any other, except, literally, one guy in a narrow sub-specialty. That's quite a lot different than conclu

That's what it was originally. The idea was that the coupon would only be sold if you got a certain number of people together. So it's sort of like these buying clubs that group a bunch of individuals together and buy from the low

Yes, the human error rate is probably higher than a computer, but the correction rate is higher, too. A computer will never, in a million years, realize its mistake, or be swayed by an appeal. It's harder to fix some classes of compute

And specifically that the Fire tablet seems to be most successful among kids. The parental controls on Kindle Fire are pretty good, but the locked-down app store (No YouTube!) was only tolerable because the parent is choosing the apps.

Anyone who's interested in a more in-depth look should check out Fortune Cookie Chronicles. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0446698970 It really explains why the food at 99.9% of the "Szchewan" and

It's worse than that, though. The Amazon app store is crippled, like on the Amazon tablets. My current edition Kindle Fire has no YouTube app! Almost everything shows up later than in the stock store, if at all. The only thing that isn

Dangerous? Everyone, even people who aren't smart, can try hard and get better. The point of the article is not that struggle, per se, is to be valued above the result, but rather that when people are trying at their limits, they are l

The other thing is if you realize you get long-hauled, Uber support will respond to a query from you and adjust the fare if appropriate. Try that with a cab.

Yeah, I thought they were going to do something meaningful, like waiting at least a minute to forget the dates I've already entered at least a dozen times.

Yes, select to copy a thousand times. If you're used to xterm, this is invaluable, especially if you're then just pasting the selection into another terminal with middle click. It saves many mouse/keyboard transitions.

Yeah, but we're talking about a 1-5MBps stream here. Even though the headline 75Mbps number is, as you say, a "we promise never to exceed", I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that the ISP provide 7% of the li

From the manual: “Execution doesn’t continue to the next case, so there is no need to explicitly break out of the switch at the end of each case’s code.” I bet I know when that became a priority!

Hm, maybe that's it. I thought typing was still dynamic because of the multiple return types.

Still on an Objective-C runtime, so it's hard to see how the performance gains they claim are achievable, but otherwise having an interpreted version should be good for productivity.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression that the Flame was going to be more along the lines of the Nexus series. Those phones, going all the way back the Nexus One (even though it looked like a Palm Pilot glued to a tra

The Moto E has an unlocked bootloader as well, and a 4.3-inch 960 x 540 IPS screen, for $130. The Moto G is $179 and has 720p. It seems like the only reason you'd buy one would be to develop.
