Reduction of entropy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_and_life

But that's not helpful. There was a saying on a bench, here in vancouver to the effect, that " You can't find yourself, you need to make yourself". But I suppose making yourself on a solid foundation requires introspection. I'm not sure where you are at but, eventually you will come up with answers/non answers and then watch your life pass you by. (similar to a stream processor) here's knausgaard.

"As your perspective of the world increases not only is the pain it inflicts on you less but also its meaning.  Understanding the world requires you to take a certain distance from it.  Things that are too small to see with the naked eye, such as molecules and atoms, we magnify. Things that are too large, such as cloud formations, river deltas, constellations, we reduce.  At length we bring it within the scope of our senses and we stabilize it with fixer.  When it has been fixed we call it knowledge.  Throughout our childhood and teenage years, we strive to attain the correct distance to objects and phenomena.  We read, we learn, we experience, we make adjustments.  Then one day we reach the point where all the necessary distances have been set, all the necessary systems have been put in place.  That is when time begins to pick up speed.  It no longer meets any obstacles, everything is set, time races through our lives, the days pass by in a flash and before we know what is happening were are forty, fifty, sixty . . . Meaning requires content, content requires time, time requires resistance.  Knowledge is distance, knowledge is stasis and the enemy of meaning. ".

I think the answers I appreciate the most, are the ones which emphasize noticing the world and the best parts of other people.

Very interesting, column and row store in memory.

They have a lot of cash, no debt. Qnx finally has a beautifull gui. Still have contracts with chrysler group. Bunch of buildings, patents, and huge upside. If they can license Nokia maps, now that Nokia HW is out of the picture, bb10 will have satisfied my last complaint.

I think this as well, but i'm also keeping my eye on graphene transistors. And then there is the quantum computer stuff which is beyond my ken.

Can you not use thumb print to unlock? The reason I gave my ipad to my brother, was his 1.5 year old could press the button and slide to unlock.

No fiscal discipline, and execution. Battery life on the new 5" phone is a couple days. Maybe the tunable radio helps. App gap is closing, unity ports, android, bloomberg is now on it. Maps suck. I don't know if they'll make it, aka survive, it is going to be close.

Edit,I don't know if the app gap is closing. But probably not.

I don't think that's bad news. But the markets disagreed and the price took a hit. It's been awesome to see the new management's discipline, should have cut earlier but they got the major planks laid out, new os, android run time, backend services, browser. Just refinements left. Employee count to revenue is getting good. 6 devices a year. Simple. And the new phone has the paratek antenna, this is going to be close.

I thought they had their own equipment colocated at tsmc, or somewhere. This is based on their earnings call last winter, but my mind is fuzzy.

Depends on yellen vs kohn, but either one is better. If it's yellen I expect a response similar to japan's equity run last fall/winter, abeonomics.

I think opposition started with Scott Sumner in July. http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=22379 Very good news. I expect to see the markets react tomorrow, ala balmer on a much greater scale.

The ending is good, imo.

I think the hdmi implementation takes up most of the fpga, the epiphany interface footprint is quite small.

I think their experiment may be an example of prospect theory in action. And relative utilities/loss aversion.

I think the sisyphean task of existence becomes easier when another consciousness acknowledges that you exist.

Works on BB, Q10.

I'm up in mackenzie brushing minimum wage, sometimes less, it is piecework; nothing like physical labour, to motivate yourself. We've got work till Aug 12. You will be stung by hornets everyday and we work from 4am till 3 PM. There is a significant cost outlay to get a brushing saw, so I don't recommend this job. 25 bucks a day camp cost. Treeplanters and brushers pretty chill. Just in case you don't have enough hours for ei.

Edit-- also fathers don't really matter that much, for happy lives.

Is there a way of using your own custom distro or image; vs the ones they provide?

Between ovh datacentres as well? If I have servers, in ovh canada, uk, and france?

techvibes.com for canadian startup news.

Yes very good. thanks.

Have you found any brokerless mq alternatives? About to build a haskell project and 0mq looks good. I'll keep in mind setting up two sockets, for push and pull. The documentation shows, zeromq contexts being threadsafe, wheras passing off a 0mq socket to another thread requires, putting memory barriers around it.

That was very helpful thank you.

Any experience with json-rpc? I'm trying to decide between the two.

Stop complaining about vc, or culture; Canadians regularly blow billions on prospective mining companies on tsx-v. which never report any revenue.

Alberta spearheaded a funding model in the oil patch in the 90s, which is now accessible to the other provinces, which I believe could be useful in the tech sector. The capital pool company, http://www.tmx.com/en/listings/listing_with_us/ways/capital_...

We get a bunch of proven tech execs together, they issue shares, then they have 24 months to go find something worth buying and growing.

So instead of serial entrepreneurs, I believe we could also foster midlevel serial ceo's for instance I would buy stock in a jaquesm, pg or whoever, headed shell company to go and buy out some up and coming tech.

At least I think you could kickstart building a company out of aquihiring zombie startups. I would do this but I'm a no-name.

Jobber, is doing fairly well out of edmonton.

If you are looking for funding in canada, Fundica.com lists grants, loans, equity sources of financing, based on industry and location etc.

Well that article was better than expected, I lost my money on out of the money options, whereas this is a generous philanthropy piece. I'd like to think my way was more effective.

aka, hybrid vigour, or heterosis.

Yep rental economy. Internet lowering of transaction costs is enabling the unbundling of ownership rights to capital/durable goods. AirBnb, facilitating exchange by providing 'trust', which is reducing the asymmetric information between the two negotiating parties.
