I do understand that pressure to "make it work". But it totally wasn't there for either my wife or I. I was matched with over 300 women during the 3 months that I was enrolled, and my (now) wife was in grad school finishing her dissertation. She wasn't in any hurry to settle down, and I was eager to cross off women that weren't perfectly (truly) suitable so I could move to the next one on the list!

As a tangent, give the mechanic some credit. The first things I took apart to see how they work (eventually leading me to choose technology as a profession) were lawnmowers, chainsaws and the like. A mechanic's work (the good part at least) is a cycle of experimenting with and mastering a complex system that uses almost identical thought processes to debugging.

Alright guys, bear with me... I got 2 hours of sleep today because I spent most of my night trying to get this thing worked on, then worked on it more through my classes lol.
Here is the design itself: http://imgur.com/yiqRM.jpg
Here is me being proud: http://imgur.com/RdJc4.jpg

I'm trying to figure the best way to deliver this. I'll likely host the high-res files somewhere and put a link up on my site with a step-by-step on how to make it. In total, it should only cost around $15 or so to make your own (I got my shirt for $3, a pack of iron-on's for $7, and some card-stock paper for like $5). You can obviously make more for friends and such.

I'll make a post in the Colbert Rally page with more info when I get that up in the next hour or so (sorry if I'm rushing, today's my bday and I'm supposed to be getting ready for dinner lol).
That's the plan. Thanks!
I've been using it daily for over three years on cygwin. If you don't depend on case-sensitive paths and don't have symlinks in your repository, it's great. I use it for work and for personal stuff, and I have zero desire to find a new tool.

Git is, given its heritage, heavily optimized for unix-style (especially linux) vfs implementations, so it is slower on windows than it is on osx or linux, however even with a fairly sizeable repository it's completely usable. It's not noticeably slower than the alternatives on windows and it's generally much faster on unix.

Go for it.
The "Jedi" idea is related to John Rawls "original position": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Theory_of_Justice#The_.22orig...

As for laissez faire, I think every government has already concluded that it doesn't work very well.

One might think that with modern labour-saving technology (and the consequential age of leisure) that this might change. One theoretical counter-argument is that people seem to love to have "inferiors" - it makes them feel better about themselves - which probably comes from our innate sense of pecking order/dominance hierarchy etc. Being a part of human nature, changing that is a hard one. Evidence in support of this is how some US citizens treat illegal immigrant workers who don't enjoy the protection of labour laws etc - it is laissez faire in action, right now. Another example is how US corporations treat labour in developing countries (such as China), and detainees from other countries. Whoa, that's getting political.

OTOH, we must remember that trade - like language, law and religion - are created spontaneously by human communities. Our current society didn't just create it; it appears to be innate. However, the specific ideas of trade and civic structures that we have today are informed by centuries of experience and thought, and constitute a tremendous cultural refinement of the innate concept of trade. Unlike the foregoing, it seems that civilization is not quite innate in humans - we have to work at it.

Yes you want profits to be earned in the lower tax-rate jurisdiction. What you describe is the typical tax strategy: direct profit to the lower-rate country then leave it there.

The economic value is in deferral of tax. A dollar of tax paid next year has a lower present value than a dollar of tax paid today.

You need a lot of deferred tax to make this cost effective. If you are postponing the payment of $100,000 of tax that means you have $100,000 of extra cash in the bank that would have gone to the tax man. What can you do with it? Earn 1% in a bank? Whee! That won't pay for much of Phil's legal fees. :-)

It is a game for big companies.

For most companies, keep it simple is the strategy. Deferral won't generate a big enough economic benefit.
Nice! Yeah, consulting stuff makes sense as an add-on down the road.

I'm tired of the crazy libertarians spoiling it for the rest of us. I would like to have something to call myself that includes removing corn subsidies and capping medicare, but also retaining fiat currency and instituting a carbon tax.
There's two ways to view somebody's political views; one can look at the direction they wish to take a given system, and one can look at the destination they wish to end up at. We tend to classify people by their direction, "right" or "left" or "liberal" or "conservative", but it is a grave error to mistake the direction for the destination. I drive south to get to work but it is not in fact my intention to get to the South Pole every time I do so; I arrive at my destination and stop, and in fact if I pass it, I will turn around to get there. (It would be absurd in ideological terms to then call me a hypocrite for going from being a Southist to a Northist.)

And it's hard to get past that fundamental error to have some sort of "discussion". I am a libertarian right now, but the caricature in the post is so absurd I can't even take offense. Because I think an entity so utterly absurdly monstrous that its yearly budgetary overruns are measured in the trillions of dollars a year and it's unfunded liabilities measure in the hundreds of trillions should be cut down to size before it takes the entire world over a cliff, I want to see child labor laws repealed? It doesn't even make sense. There's not much to "counter".

In fact I actually consider myself a "Classical Liberal", which today makes you a "conservative" in terms of direction, but my destination isn't "anarchy". Just something much smaller, much more focused, much less resource intensive, and much less likely to crash the economy because there's every incentive to spend and no incentive to stop. (Which I actually consider the fundamental failure of liberalism, it in fact has become a direction and not a destination in practice. If you can identify some principle being used to decide when we have spent enough money on something, I'm all ears. And I mean a principle in use by the government, not some hypothetical principle that could be used by somebody, sometime.) If that's so unreasonable, well, I hope you enjoy the blasted remnants of the economy that results.

Part of the reason I want to see our government cut down to size is that when we crash the system, we will lose welfare and child labor laws and potentially civil order itself. I understand the impulse to circle the wagons and defend the government, but the simple fiscal reality is that if you really do like the results of a strong government capable of protecting its citizens, you really need to help me refocus it on those tasks or you'll be left with a government that can do nothing. Can you seriously imagine child labor laws being repealed in the US? I mean, seriously? This isn't even remotely a threat; economic collapse on the other hand at this point due to an overextended government is more like "can we avoid it or is it too late already?" Probability of a repeal of child labor laws is virtually zero; probability of a government without any ability to pay anyone to enforce them, rather greater than zero even if I am not yet panicking.

That was one of my main concerns.

I'm hoping to provide a more comprehensive service that is also much easier to use and therefore add enough value to make it a pay service.
Also, writing the test first helps in identifying a sane API, I personally consider this to be the single greatest advantage of TDD.

I don't write as many tests as you do though, Steve. I generally stop once I have the nominal test cases in place, I don't test edge cases. They seem to tend to get hit by upstream unit tests anyway (I don't mock except where it is absolutely necessary). If I do hit a difficult-to-find bug, I use tests as one of my main debugging tools, writing tests for any code for which I have some doubts. By the end of a project, I generally have a fairly high code coverage for my tests, but I never feel like I'm just writing them for the methodology - they are either testing the nominal case, or testing to verify behaviour when tracking down a bug

Then you checked a very long time ago :) It is quite easy to pass numpy arrays to cython functions. I would say that except in some very special cases, writing raw Python C interface is useless (of course, writing numerical code which is independent of the C API is still very useful). Cython also gives you the benefit of py3x compatibility (cython generates wrappers which can be compiled for both python 2 and python 3).
I'm not sure of your needs, but there's now reasonable support for efficient interaction with numpy arrays; see, eg

http://docs.cython.org/src/tutorial/numpy.html

and/or

http://conference.scipy.org/proceedings/SciPy2009/paper_2/fu...

Some types of array addressing will take the slower---but still correct---invocation path through Python, but the common form is compiled to direct (albeit strided) array access.

If we cared about human rights, we should flip the situation on its head and impose heavy (in the 6 or 7 figure range) fines for hiring undocumented workers. If any of the workers are mistreated they should be able to turn in their employer.

That will give the workers an upper hand and would prevent them from being taken advantage of. Now the employer can live in fear of being exposed.
CRA says LLCs are taxed like corporations. The IRS says they are disregarded or taxed as partnerships (I.e., passthrough). This mismatch causes great pain. :-)

A lot of times this mismatch (an entity is treated as a corporation in one country and something else in another country) can be used for fun and profit. These are called "hybrid entities" and they bedevil the government.

I like that. :-)

I have a dumb question, and maybe it's because I don't understand how ebay affiliate stuff works. (Assuming Amazon-esque.)

But even if this site sends really low quality traffic, it's still likely sales that wouldn't otherwise happen, even if the ratio of visits to sales is quite low.

What does this cost ebay other than a lil more server juice? (to have a fruitless visit).

I mean, I know they're paying a cut to MCM, but they would pay that cut with good quality traffic, too.

It seems their gamble on false positives would not be as risky with other set-ups (paying out for downloads, trials, etc).

(If anybody wants to school me on incorrect ebay assumptions, that would be OK. I'm assuming it's basically like Amazon.)

[update: Reread. The author says he gets commission based on a variety of things including "clicks, new accounts, bids, and wins." It seems that this whole dynamic could be clear for both sides if ebay only paid out on things that ended up getting bought.]
The real conclusion to me is that you should not base your business on some other big business that gets a major say in whether or not you live or die.

Try to gain traction independent of google, ebay, facebook or whatever it out there that you could base your business on. Treat them like the icing on your cake, nice to have but not the crucial element in your bottom line which if you lose it will kill your business overnight.

Of course, if it works it is easy money, but once you grow a bit, maybe have a couple of employees it suddenly starts to look like a highwire act.

Unless of course you've got an in with some big name VC that also happens to invest in google to protect you from being cut off.

Better keep your independence as much as you can.
Didn't I see some absurd article a couple says ago on here that said "Microsoft is a dying consumer brand"? You have to see what Microsoft is doing with its BizSpark Program! Microsoft has eyes everywhere and you never know when one of these small companies will be the next Expedia.

Im not a very visual thinker, but I've been getting better at visualizing things. Since i mostly write lisp code i see it as it is, like a tree of expressions, instead of as a sequence of characters. I see my data structures and see the way they get manipulated as trees as well. I've been playing with graph algorithms, a DFS is remarkably beautiful to see, in ones head. You can see it as water spilled on the graph, and the vertices are like grooves the water flows through.
When I code I have sort of a mental list I keep in my head for what I'm currently building. So I'll have textbox, textarea, submit button, trigger on submit, validation, database, sterilisation, etc etc. I just kind of work through the list in my head and often add to it as I think of something else.
Thanks for humoring me. I took 2 tax courses a very long time ago (got A's in both of them). But I suspected my knowledge wasn't very practical.
i'm guessing he's at or approaching the "FU I'm fully vested" point following the Google/YT buyout. Can't imagine any self-made entrepreneur wanting to stay inside a large corporate Borg-like entity for any significant length of time. Other than to honor some minimum terms in a buyout deal.
I don't understand why this makes you sick. This post finally made me look up ramen on wikipedia to see what it actually is (Instant noodles.. here in Canada the major vendor of this is Mr. Noodles, so "ramen" was a bit unfamiliar to me).

Your brothers way of eating ramen is exactly how I, and many of my friends, ate it when we were in elementary school. Crunch the everloving shit out of it, open the packet, sprinkle the flavour packet into the ramen, close it up and shake.

It was good. I haven't done that in years, but I remember liking it. In fact, I've got some Mr. Noodles in the cupboard right now.. I'm slightly motivated to try it again.
A few things wrong with that:

- Since inflation is so low, the government doesn't actually have to raise taxes. (This is the part people don't seem to get - taxes are to prevent inflation, so when there's no inflation, there's no reason for a tax increase.)

- Currently, money is not the limiting factor for investment. Savings are up, investment is down, and money can be borrowed at very low interest rates. If investors wanted to invest more, they could, but they aren't.

Your example is the same (economically) as paying one person $50k and giving away $50k to someone else. Capacity is standing idle due to lack of demand. It's the sort of thing that makes economists joke about burying cash in mines for people to dig up (Keynes) or dropping money from helicopters (Bernanke).

Of course, it all changes if the economy picks up again.
Reading the Hacker News guidelines, it seems terribly odd that "please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them" is only suggested for comments, because many submissions have this problem as well. (And no, "life was miserable in the era of the robber barons, therefore libertarianism is wrong" isn't anything genuinely new to say, nor is "libertarians secretly imagine themselves to be the robber barons instead of the tenement-dwelling wage slaves".)
Agree, I was working 60 hr weeks and earning a nice investment banking salary. I now work every waking hour and earn maybe 1/8th as much. We have to fight for every bit of progress that we make, but I love (almost) every second of it. All types of employment have their trade offs; you have to figure out what you are comfortable with and go with it.
In my experience, it tends to get confused and intermittently forget what it's doing. When this happens, it thinks that all your files are modified. This is very distressing. The workaround, which works great for single-platform teams, is to just turn off linefeed conversion altogether. The problem may very well have been fixed, but I still do it.
Damnit, I love MCM. One of the nicest designed sites out there.

Actually, many of the criticisms that libertarians make of government explicitly assume that government workers don't deviate in any significant way from the norm. They point out that government is essentially monopolistic. If you have an enterprise that can force its customers to buy its goods then unless the people running the enterprise are perfect angels then the quality of its services will turn to crap over time. Contrast this with a competitive market where a consumer has lots of choice and service providers have incentive to provide the best quality at the lowest cost. If you have the same quality of people employed in both industries, you expect competitive enterprises to produce higher quality goods than monopolies.

Libertarians would argue that a good system is one that is not designed to be run by angels.
Most of that is just interest, so your principal never goes down. In fact, if you keep making minimum payments only, the balance rises until you hit the limit.

This is known as negative amortization, and it's not the way credit cards work. Or any loan where "most" of the payment is interest, for that matter. If you're paying any principal, you're paying down the loan. To my knowledge, credit card companies are required by law to set the minimum payment high enough that some principal is paid. Of course, it's only enough that you won't finish paying them off for twenty years, but it is amortization.
They do have different batteries but you can remove the new one by unscrewing three screws and disconnecting a cable [+]. The battery has even a pull tab which allows you to easily lift it out of the case.

That’s a little more involved than previously when you only had to open a latch and pull out the battery but it’s pretty much exactly as hard as replacing the hard drive.

The Samsung Galaxy S would be exactly that phone if it weren't for the bugs that make it lag badly. Root it and install Froyo, though, and it is a beauty.

I don't know how true the rumours of a Samsung-made Nexus are, but I wouldn't be surprised given the quality of the Galaxy's hardware.
They are just libertarians who take the position to the logical extreme. It's why some libertarian opponents sometime said libertarianism is very consistent.

Being a moderate is nice because you get to be vague and stuff.

However, being a crazy radical actually does have a perk. It make me very open to technologies in a way that's just not possible with other political philosophy.
