As far as I understand VAT's role in the economy, the Value Added Tax is offset to the last link of a value-adding chain: the consumer. This creates the incentive of further adding…

Concerning point one, could you please list the alternate software you had in mind? Especially the open source ones. Thanks!

Normally it is not patentable if it's obvious to a person skilled in the topic, if there is prior art, or if there is no business application. I would say this fails two out of thr…

It doesn't cease to amaze me how stupid IP laws can get. Better said, how much power money can buy you. As the parent is saying, this is nothing new. See here [1] how F1 cars have …

Yes. Through technical guarantees, I like to think that the benefit is not merely "perceived". And it applies to other actors as well, not only Google.

I'm a bit surprised, I was using the stock Android for Nexus and in my case the results were logged. Just as other people are reporting: every single application usage, call or wha…

I think they know much more than they are showing in that dashboard. Simply staying a few steps ahead and not giving them the option to even link to your account is worth for me. T…

Ahh... It's so satisfying to see the stream of everything I was doing on Android suddenly stop when I switched to Cyanogenmod and not linked my e-mail account. The trick was to use…

> Is "operating at their highest capacity" a bad thing? Yes, it's a bad thing. Internet traffic is bursty so usually you have to overprovision a lot to deal with the spikes. Operat…

How is work on Telehash coming? I'm still waiting for an XMPP equivalent for the mobile age that will free us from the medieval [1] state of communication we are experiencing. [1] …

I know for a fact that at least two major ISPs in France already do this (SFR, Free).

In case the main link is not working as it did for me, I spotted an alternate source for the publication [1]. [1] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3983044/pdf/pcbi...

While the hardware part of the job is nicely done, I think there still remains the problem of how to convey the information to the users. Once a toilet becomes free, everybody wait…

All this reminds me of Paul Heckbert's ray tracer written on the back of his business card: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ph/src/minray/minray.card.c

I wonder if providing this kind of information to the public can lead to worse performance (commute time). This reminds me of Braess's Paradox [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

That's exactly what a threading library abstraction aims to do. For example the Intel TBB (Threading Building Blocks).

On an Intel i5-2520M (4 threads [1]) it reported 5 usable worker threads. As I see from others, the result reported by core-estimator is spot on N+1, where N is the number of virtu…
