With PC sales on decline they are looking for new markets. They crying wolf for several years already. That kind of FUD provoked Nokia to introduce digital signing for Symbian OS apps, which effectively killed developers community. That caused Symbian OS becoming increasingly irrelevant and eventually caused its death(or at least zombification). Which in turn destabilized Nokia position and could be cause of the death of Nokia itself.
Math misunderstood because it's hard, and that's why people have misconceptions about it. Understanding of math require considerable effort and concentration which most people tend to avoid if possible.
This one is not even tagged as video. A lot of people don't have either patience or bandwidth to watch through all the videos, half of which are not noteworthy. If no one (author including) has bothered to make transcript, is it important enough to be on the front page?
PrimeSense system had originally had built in depth processing on the chip, and that was planned to be included the project Natal, but at the end MS decided it would be too expensive and moved processing to CPU. Of cause that caused lag. Though I've read in the latest versions they had reduced lag considerably.
Calculus (and some other advanced math in specialized schools) was included into secondary education course. Students and teachers were moaning, but somehow struggled through. There were no noticeable impact on common workers, but engineering college students were a lot better prepared, and had easier life (advantage they used to drink more). Education ministry of modern democratic Russia decided that advanced math is harmful for working people, Russia don't need many engineers anyway, and advanced math was removed form curriculum.
SSD - symmetric diagonally dominant, mean the diagonal element is more the sum of abs all the rest in the row. That is a very strong condition, which happen in very specific applications. Never met them in the computer vision and image processing for example.
Here in Israel employee are paying for their health insurance in the form of health insurance tax. I don't see any age discrimination here - there is a lot of middle-old age people in the software. Another mitigating factor could be the constant drain of ambitious young coders to better paying positions in US and Europe.Yet another - lower wages make outsourcing less attractive to employers.
Freedom works, that's how the Cold War was won from the Soviet Empire.
I'm not sure. It seems the other way around. As soon as Cold War ended freedom in western democracies stated deteriorate gradually. Seems the Cold War was what was keeping freedom alive in democratic countries. Or may be a conservation law is at work here - as freedom increase in one place it decrease in another.
You have to be damn good already. Yep, that's a kind of catch-22. Employers are wary to get person without PhD for research position (And would readily get PhD with couple of publications instead). However if you already have proven to be expert in the area and already have some records of successful projects they would gladly take you. So I'd recommend the area where yo can teach yourself and prove your abilities (for example with OSS project) before you actually change the job. Statistics was already recommended and its' great, and I'd also recommend it's aplications to machine learning(if you like AI). Things like evolutuionary programming (genetic programming etc) are also good area to start.
Being required to have information "in your head" for math tests is stupid anyway.
Actually it's a must for advanced math. Basically you can't do any serious math like differential equations, or algebraic topology or even multiview geometry for image processing without keeping most of it in your head. Pictures or paper or computer algebra system just cant take you all the way. Of cause most of people don't need it anyawy.
'If the result is a trade war,' Grove advises, 'treat it like other wars -- fight to win.'"
War is a risky business, that's why it's called war. Trade war is no exception. How about infuriated China dumping 900 billions worth US treasure notes?
US already have couple of wars on its hands, which are not going spectacularly well, do it need another one?
Just common occurrence - ad stuck on malfunctioning license plate. No license number is visible, but no one is paying attention - it happens too often. Or even better - with little tinkering a criminal can change license number on the run...

Depth sensor is the only thing that count. The rest - skeleton recognition - is not especially hard. And MS doing it not quite well.
Advanced math in school useful in support for education of big number of engineers. Otherwise it has no impact.

eat all CPU power available and can eat couple of order of magnitude more.
and 12+34...=1/4 Which, buy the way Euler proved by similar method http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/qg-winter2004/zeta.pdf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_%E2%88%92_2_%2B_3_%E2%88%92_4_%2B_%C2%B7_%C2%B7_%C2%B7

that's why they called trolls.
ARM Cortex A9 core, for example, has ARM v7 instructions set architecture, and latest ARM Cortex A15 has ARM v7A architecture

Kind of like treating morphine addiction with heroin...

Could it be that Hyksos had world's best chariots?
I'm not a physicist, but I have read that introducing nonlinear operators into quantum mechanics make it essentially classical theory.

Wolfram Research claimed copyright on the proof of the Turing completeness of the "Rule 110" cellular automaton. It obtained a court order excluding author paper from the published conference proceedings.
