If the individuals responsible for choosing the ARM manufacturer had fully understood the thermal implications at the time, I think they would not have chosen Freescale. Now it's mostly just inertia.
I'm currently working on an IoT project that uses a Freescale iMX6 chip and they are so far behind other ARM chip companies it's ridiculous. Next year they will have a 28nm chip, *sigh*. Maybe, firing their entire iMX group wasn't a good idea after all.
Incomparable unemployment rates are all well and good, but if you actually look at the employment rate for men in prime working age France has a higher rate of employment than the US.
According to wiki government spending was estimated to be 48.5 in 2014 (and 50.5 in 2008), a few points higher than Germany. However, Greek nominal GDP is down over 25% since 2008, meaning they had to make equivalent cuts to government spending just to maintain the same ratio.
In my experience this is generally true for large companies, but not true for the many bro-tastic startups. They won't be overtly racist, there will just be a vague reference to being "not a culture fit". Even if everyone doesn't do it, it does make it marginally harder to get your foot in the door in the valley.
The nice thing about Steven Levitt's abortion theory is that it was actually something a lot of people wanted to hear. It didn't matter that his results turned out to be an artifact of an excel spreadsheet error, his career was already made. The whole episode actually convinced me not to go to grad school for econ as it proved correctness was less important than being a well connected undergrad at an ivy league school saying things rich people want to hear.
I do have an arm chair. That must be the reason no one is using MS SQL for anything serious at Google, Apple, Facebook, Yahoo, Netflix, Fitbit, Twitter, etc. Too many arm chairs here in the Valley.
This is just intellectually lazy. Both parties are never equally beholden to their wealthiest at any given time. In 2008 the democrats had the majority of large donors. In 2012, for whatever reason large donors overwhelmingly backed Romney. Right now republicans still rely on large donors more heavily. This may change when clinton runs.
I love all the contortions people go through to prove markets are rational. Alibaba keeps getting higher and higher valuations, Yahoo's stock more or less follows market fluctuations, therefore Yahoo core must have lost billions in value over the last few months and be worth negative dollars even though Yahoo Core is quite profitable. Suuuure. This same thing happened with EMC when VMWare went IPO. It took a few weeks for investors to do simple math.
When I was in high school many of my friends who really got into Manson did in fact start dressing like vampires. Furthermore, I have encountered a number of people who got sucked into the neo-Nazi scene via the Nazi-punk rock.
I do video operations for a video streaming startup and I am unaware of anyone who does not use a media CDN or traditional CDN for content distribution. Even Netflix round-robin's (ok not quite) between L3, akamai, and limelight. Google is probably special, but when people are talking about ISPs throttling Netflix traffic they aren't talking about Comcast not peering with Netflix's servers (which are all in AWS anyway).
You have this completely backwards. Before Snowden, the NYTimes and people like you were all worked up about the Chinese hacking scandals, now it's all "everybody does it!". Everybody does not do it. Some countries are worse than others, deal with it.
Every study I have seen says holding a conversation with a passenger is similarly impairing. Similarly one would think that using an old school "map" or eating/drinking is also quite impairing. It seems to me that if you are to avoid hypocrisy you would have to advocate banning passenger-side seats and holding ANYTHING in your hand. But that's not the real problem with cellphone GPS and Glass GPS is it? The real problem is that if you could use your phone, why would anyone pay money for an overpriced standalone GPS system at the dealer or Garmin? They are less accurate than google maps AND they cost money.
So which fascist dictators are you talking about specifically? Hitler did ban jews from owning guns.... in 1938. Or do you think the problem with the Cultural Revolution was a lack of militias running around with guns?
The Communist Manifesto was a pamphlet advertising his group -- not an intellectual tract -- and if you closely follow it, it really says very little. Just imagine a political ad that tries to simultaneously appeal to every major ideological group opposed to the current regime. In the Manifesto's case it tries to appeal to everyone from (classical) liberal to anarchist to christian communist -- a creature that was more common in the 19th century than today.
Just like Karl Marx, they utterly fail at incorporating human nature into their solution.
I realize this is something everyone says, but Marx mostly just talked about a vague "direction of history" where people would more and more get paid an amount equal to the value of their labor, most of the actual solutions Marx proposed are now pretty non-controversial. Just look at critique of the Gotha program where he suggests:
1) Establishing a central bank (no longer controversial, except among the wackier libertarians). 2) Unemployment insurance (ditto). 3) Worker ownership of the means of production...
Ok, (3) sounds controversial because when you hear it you immediately see images of Soviet collective farms, however the company I work for has "worker ownership of the means of production" -- they are called "options" and everyone gets em (Marx said nothing about equal distribution of ownership). All of these things were controversial in the middle of the 19th century and no longer are -- and I don't think most people consider these ideas to fail (more than any other) to account for the reality of human nature.

I'm not talking about ARM. I'm talking about Freescale. The Qualcomm and Samsung ARM chips aren't as far behind for example.

"Labor force participation" is what I meant. Specifically, the participation rate of men aged 32-52.
Incomparable unemployment rates are all well and good, but if you actually look at the employment rate for men in prime working age France has a higher rate of employment than the US.

How precious, you think MS SQL Server is a "real SQL server".

I may be hardcore dead weight, but I got a pretty good deal when the startup I was part of got acquired a few months ago.

The only reason to choose Puppet over Chef is if you are a sysadmin who can't program. Choose Salt if you prefer Python over Ruby.

PS3: 80.1 M
XBOX: 78.6 M
WII: 100.1 M
and it seems like the PS3 will end up ahead of the Wii outside of the US. Still not a flop though.

Those areas are mostly "red" counties within "blue" states. Even then, they are almost entirely semi-dry NOT dry.
I love how everyone thinks "current crappy company I work for"="buisness world".
So which fascist dictators are you talking about specifically? Hitler did ban jews from owning guns.... in 1938. Or do you think the problem with the Cultural Revolution was a lack of militias running around with guns?
Obviously you don't live in SV, they had a huge complex here.
