Re:Google play removed my productivity tracking app for spying on Thursday October 16, 2014 @10:10PM (#8469072)
My concern is where the pivot point is. Sure Google should remove if any APPs' idea is to spy people. However that made Google/APPLE too much power over developers or users. What if I want my dog has a smart phone spy mode: "on" so I can find him when he's lost?

If giant companies can control what you can publish today, they can control what layout you should have on your APPs next week, they can control what contents is allowed next month, then they can decide if you are allow to communicate before you even noticed.

Re:Do Women Only Initiatives Really Help Women? on Saturday January 04, 2014 @12:59PM (#7012072)
The reason why this became a topic is only because technology, soft/hardware developer really make a lot of money right now.

I remember reading this in HN:" How to detect female-ism? Don't just focus on the fancy job like CEOs, Founders who made million of dollars, you also need to look at mine workers, bus drivers these dangerous jobs." ask yourself why female-ism not talk about women need to work at those fields too?

Then, if you read "revenge of the nerd" by paul graham, you will understand more.

television brain washed by George Bush? How exactly NSA can access to everything is a good thing?

Re:Have young people in Japan stopped having sex? on Sunday October 20, 2013 @11:07AM (#6580110)
The journalist failed theguardian.

1.no actual data supported. This is more like: I used 5 people to prove Japanese stop having sex.

2.no study of source.

just imagination, I doubt if this is FBI undercover job tried to ruin theguardian's name.

just run it at NSA once. 24hours I bet.

Re:Setting Up A Chromebook Development Laptop on Saturday October 05, 2013 @04:52PM (#6502028)
It is not Xeon but the surrounding hardware.

A Bit error in calculation may cause problem in CAD/CAM, Finance or Virtual Machines. Intel does not allow ECC memory with i5 or i7; It is the idea for environments where cannot tolerate bit errors. You will see some odd errors in your VMs after running(rendering) heavily for as little as few hours.

Other examples is model rendering. Intel only allowed 32G memory for i5/i7 CPUs and you need to leave certain free memory while doing that. It end up you can only use 2-3 core instead 12 core which makes your process slower.

I still remember the $4899 price tag on IBM T-series. Everything today compare to that period is a bargain. Xeon and Ecc is what developer should use for stability(VMs) and decent speed.

$200 coding machine is not a bad idea, but I just cannot figure out where to use it.
