Which is great, right up until Google decide that the latest version which was on the new phone you just bought isn't going to be made available for the foreseeable future.

The issue is surely that something is open or it isn't? The minute that Google start closing off or controlling bits of it, don't you have to ask yourself whether the thing you care about is next and therefore whether it's actually open or just probably open?

And for me probably open isn't really open enough.
This reminds me of Google PigeonRank :)

I'd say that working for myself is more stressful. There are absolutely no excuses not to deliver quality work on time. Sometimes I find myself working through the night to meet a deadline, something I would never have done when I was regularly employed.

Nevertheless, there is a lot of satisfaction to selecting and organizing your own projects, and having freelanced for a year, I don't think I will be going back to salaried work.

Have you heard of the term "libel" ?

Insider trading is a criminal offence, if you're going to accuse a company of advocating it you should probably have solid evidence.

If you wanted to make a general point about how you think investment banks are unethical, then use the term investment banks.

Naming a real company and accusing them of illegal behaviour just to make a point isn't a good idea.
You might want to link to your about page rather than your homepage. I had no idea what your service did until I looked at that page.

It captures the parent comments. Maybe you can include a link as well in your posts?
Anyone get a chance to test out how this looks with vimdiff? That's one area that usually ends up looking fugly b/c the theme creator neglected to look at it. Other areas that are typically neglected (though not in this case): code folding, split buffer dividers.
At first I was puzzled by the upvotes because pro-monopoly arguments are usually unpopular here, but then I realized that I didn't really express myself clearly and that probably my argument was misunderstood :) So I'm not against drug monopolies, or patents, (or copyright, for that matter) - in fact I'm staunchly pro those things; the problem in this case is the strictness of the FDA, setting an arbitrarily high bar, causing all but one manufacturers to not be able to produce the drug any more.

The point of the article was that the FDA used to approve other manufacturers, but then required higher standards which only one manufacturer can meet. So now there's a de facto monopoly - not because of a patent, but because of the requirements the FDA set (retro-actively). The FDA needs to restrict itself to more basic testing (rather, testing requirements) so that the market can take over in the price setting of the drug through competition.

(I'm not an expert on the chemistry and medical aspects of pharma; actually I don't know anything about it. I don't know if, in the specific case of the article, the additional requirements set by the FDA are really required, or just paranoia. I think the FDA, and similar bodies in general, need to relax on their 'err on the side of caution' principle. To put it extremely - yes it sucks to be harmed by a thus far unknown side effect of a drug or food, but requiring near-100% safety on everything on the market hampers progress, and we can't know if the positive effect outweigh the negative ones. I hypothesize they don't, but until we know, let's lay off the state nannying, and replace it with a clearer mechanism to let consumers know how far something has been tested, so that they can make their own choices on whether or not they want to take/eat the drug/food).

Eh, what? What monopolies are granted by law on the basis of natural monopoly theory? As you state, there is no reason to put them into law; natural monopolies are usually the ones who are broken up by regulators, to enforce competition (e.g. telecoms, energy manufacturing/distribution, public transport, ...)

Insider trading cases in the US have been bought under SEC Rule 10b-5 which reads:

To use or employ, in connection with the purchase or sale
of any security registered on a national securities
exchange or any security not so registered, or any
securities-based swap agreement (as defined in section
206B of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), any manipulative or
deceptive device or contrivance in contravention of such
rules and regulations as the Commission may prescribe as
necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the
protection of investors.

(source: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/78j.html#b )

Note in particular the line "security not so registered".

Trading in private companies can be considered Insider Trading.

I spent the past week getting node.js up and running. This guide helps a ton. Thanks for doing this.

On the other hand I've learned more about unix in the last week than I ever wanted to know. I'm now happily hacking away at my code on my ec2 instance using vim and all sorts of funky commands. I still have no idea what nginx is supposed to do, but I did figure out how to turn it off. Yeah, me.

So, if like me, you've never logged into a unix box, you may actually want to try one of the harder guides. It will teach you a ton.

Except APC doesn't actually serialize anything except for objects. Arrays and scalar types are directly memcpy'ed in and out of the APC user cache. But this author is extremely confused. I think he may have confused APC with Memcache here. They have done some work on the PHP Memcache extension to remove the need to serialize making it behave more like APC.
Interesting. I've thought about doing this myself, only with a mobile component to it, and a somewhat broader scope for the data inputs.
What I'm saying is that relying on crazy people to not go crazy is not a good data loss prevention strategy.

Except companies that believe this are impossible to work for, there is so much process and policy to prevent anyone doing any harm that no-one can get any work done either. At the end of the day, you have to sort out all the trust issues before you give someone the root password, then you just have to trust them to get on with it.

Yes. They are called Windows users. And I am one of them. I set up an ec2 instance last week using a similar process. I also got a cywin up locally, but I use the ec2 instance mostly.

Now that you mention it, Virtual Box would be a great solution and it would be great to have a guide walking through this. I used google to figure everything out and 'node.js ec2' is a query you get to pretty quickly when you have no starting reference point.

Kalorije
Kalorije - izraz koji se koristi za energiju u organizmu oslobodjenu usled unosa hrane i pica u nas organizam. Nase telo neprestano trosi kalorije, cak i kada spavamo za odrzavanje telesne temperature kao i rada svih organa i svega ostalog sto nas odrzava u zivotu. Medjutim ta potrosnja se svodi na minimum a posto mi raznom visokokaloricnom hranom unosimo vise kalorija nego sto je nasem organizmu potrebno on ih talozi kao rezerve u vidu masnoca. Ne mora uvek resenje da bude manji unos hrane vec je dovoljno da odaberemo hranu koja je niskokaloricna, a u tome nam moze pomoci samo dobra i opsirna Tablica Kalorija.

But you can skip ahead without parsing all the bytes since UTF-8 is self-synchronizing. The only scenario I can envision is that gnu grep wants to perform unicode normalization, to catch equivalent codepoints, and that this is implemented inefficiently.

Edit: Granted, since I'm using -c, it has to look at all the bytes to find all the newlines.

Hey Where did Everybody Go?
In Australia, most people have to pay for drugs. There are subsidies available. If a drug company wants the subsidy, it has to offer a fair price. If they don't offer a fair price, then they don't get subsidized, and nobody buys it.

So, patients pay (a bit), so they avoid unnecessary treatment. But they don't have to pay to much. And if the drug companies try to play funny-buggers, they get shut out.

Also, the subsidy process is completely hands-off (it's run by an untouchable board of experts), so while it's a little inefficient (untouchable experts are always inefficient) it's incorruptible.
You always have to be reasonable, everybody has to be. 'oh but they're not either!' is not a reasonable argument (yes I see the circular reasoning in that).

Just had an epiphany. If it is these old drugs (since 6th century) that are getting monopolized.... It means they don't really need advanced technology to create! Just grind some herbs, measure carefully, sun dry, etc. If they're over-charging by 5000% you might actually save money producing the drugs yourself for self consumption!

Who's up for creating a website to share recipes of these drugs?
