Not sure, really, but Walker's first debate strategy was to be bland and not rock his (momentary) frontrunner status, so I imagine Rush moved onto the next guy saying things that would crank up ratings for his show. Trump certainly fit that bill...

The Fourth Amendment should already be telling the "track everyone" guys to fuck off unless they have a warrant. https://www.law.cornell.edu/co... "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
I listen to Rush Limbaugh's show every couple of weeks and I know he's currently hawking at least two products: Donald Trump and Apple technology. By focusing on one of Rush's biggest advertisers (Apple), maybe Trump ensures he dominates Rush's show (as Rush tries to thread the needle between defending Apple and not trashing Trump) for a few more days?
(I don't think the effect of Rush's power in the primary polls can be underestimated. When he was hawking Scott Walker, Walker led in the polls. When he stopped hawking Walker, the guy dropped down to something like 1% support.)
On the other hand, if it's really a big deal to AMD, they should be able to find $100K or so to join BAPco and tilt the deck in their favor - total annual budget only seems to be $400K. http://www.faqs.org/tax-exempt...
The interviewer seems like a dick. Here's what I think I read:
Question 1: You have a funny last name. Maybe you belong to a weird ethnic group too?. Question 2: You don't live in Silicon Valley, but I do, so fuck you. Question 3: I came to this interview completely unprepared. Good luck making your point now.

Then you probably don't know what programmers DO. What I think you are looking for instead are "artists.":)
For westlake and others new to the industry, please understand that all programmers do, all programmers EVER do, is take other people's work in the form of hardware, operating systems, libraries, other programs, and pass it off as our own through...da da dum...programs! Programmers who constantly choose to write their own stuff from scratch (also called "reinventing the wheel") are regarded as "slow", "obtuse", "dangerous" and "expensive" (have you tried hand-coding a web app from scratch these days?) while programmers who adopt best practice libraries, platforms, development practices and patterns are regarded as "fast", "smart", "effective" and "cost-efficient".

Top comments seems to be about using "Unlicense" (instead of "Public Domain") and to just avoid cut-paste (good luck with that if you're dealing with an offshore team). I pretty much use #2, renaming everything and usually swapping some of the decision logic to create something that looks original enough to pass a smell test when I cut/paste. It's work, but it's still significantly less work than writing it from scratch.
Ditto, except as developers we almost immediately hacked our shitty provider's interface ("Virgin Pulse"?) and just injected whatever values made us look just above average into the system. The stupid hardware is probably still in our desks, but with luck we'll never need it.
>> "I think it's really hard to actually remember what someone's phone number actually is."
That's not how phone numbers are used. Today, they are one-time use IDs that we use to contact someone else, then both people's phones remember the number forever. In a way, it's like how Skype works: you type in the other person's ID (once) and you're forever connected.

Intel's a member of BAPco, the SYSmark organization, and AMD isn't.

This. The phrase "if it bleeds it leads" existed long before the Internet.

That's why they call it a trial and limit who can be in it (so it's not 1,000 dead and 5,000 wounded).
