Can you find references for these German government subsidies for exporters and their percentage value per exported unit?

The US also runs a very complex series of industrial subsidies too, but it seems to be somewhat ad-hoc and therefore difficult (outside of WTO complaints such as Boeing-Airbus) to explore.

Why do you so easily let Microsoft switch sides?
You can't just quit the game.

You bought gold, which conserves your wealth ... and the government takes 15% to 50% of your "profit" (depending on your circumstances). Debasing by the fed together with the tax systems guarantees there's nothing you can do against it.
> It does cost Google a lot of money to make, yet it gives phone manufacturers licenses for cheap, just to make phones cheap enough so that users chose them over iPhones. Google wants it so bad they are willing to lose a lot of money now hoping it will pay off in future when everyone has Androids. Apple (and Microsoft) who cannot use this model (they don't dominate in ads or search markets) obviously don't like this.

No need to wait for the future, Andy Rubin and Eric Schmidt have stated that Android is already profitable, through advertising revenue. That Microsoft and Apple can't compete with Google's business model is not unfair, it's business: they aren't owed profits, they must earn it.

In any case, you might as well say that Apple-Software "licenses" Apple-Hardware iOS for "free" and makes money from the App Store. Is it "unfair" that the Android Market doesn't dominate developer attention like the App Store has? And Microsoft in particular is trying to build its own search and ad presence, so they might in theory adopt Google's model; that they aren't successful enough to drop licensing fees is tough luck.

In any case, I'm not entirely unsympathetic to concerns that advertising-driven business models may cheapen software in the long term, but that this somehow justifies some pseudo-conspiracy to take down Android with patent litigation just flabbergasts me.
It's interesting the Treasury Department Issued this statement after the downgrade news basically saying, for all practical purposes we still consider the debt to be AAA regardless of what S&P thinks.

SERPs & Spyders is similar to Magic: The Gathering because the cards are collectable, vary in efficacy and purpose, and the cards can be combined to multiply their attack strength (certain SEO tactics work well together).

It's also similar to MTG because you try and dominate the other player's played card(s) with your own, better card(s).

SERPs & Spyders is also incredibly dissimilar to MTG. Each card contains an actual SEO tactic you can use online. The cards can also be a reference tool or help you build/rethink your online SEO strategies.

Even if you could manipulate the pump control itself, you still aren't disabling the feature that shows the blood glucose level (which the person is certainly monitoring), or the alarms that most likely go off when the values are too far outside of center.

The most likely outcome of a hacker gaining control, is that the user sees the insulin pump is screwing up, then just takes it off and uses manual injections or sees their doctor.

Learn to code. You must have done a programming course in school. It shouldnt take you very long to learn php, django or rails.

About your more general question "How do you deal with doubt?". The answer is that you ignore it and keep going. By definition an entrepreneur will always have doubt. He has to just keep working and getting feedback from his customers regardless of the doubt.

Accept that you dont know what your doing but devise an experiment that will make things clearer and then go execute it and learn from it. Repeat.
But should a 0.5% line item take precedent over three items which combined total to 70%?

Is it any less of a waste of time to talk about those three items, each of which is considered a core concern of one of the two parties in control and will likely never be properly gutted?

If you can't afford the shit that you're unwilling to live without, you need to find a way to make more money. To me, America seems to be in this situation, yet the anti-tax sentiment is so strong here that that stark reality is never addressed honestly. People fairly broadly want these things, so we best find a way to pay for them.

Personally, I'd love to see a situation where the tax rates are mandated to be mere functions of spending, rather than being negotiated as if they're completely disconnected entities. Then Congress has only one knob to fiddle with, how much they want to spend. By letting them decide completely independently how much they want to make we expose ourselves to the obvious outcome, that a lot more goes out than comes in, and that's never going to be properly addressed unless we take it on directly.
The Origin of Money: Double coincidence of wants
You reminded me of an interesting thought. The industrial revolution involved advances in information only incrementally; we went from letter-writing to (eventually) phone and television. The new mediums were very unambiguously new platforms each time.

But now we have a set of platforms(computers themselves, the operating systems, the networks, etc.) for all digitally encodable forms of information. We keep building new platforms on top of these systems; and the rate at which the platforms appear is increasing; 10 years ago you could not do the kinds of trivially focused apps that have become today's cliche.

This is a point of fundamental difference from productivity advancements in the industrial era; better machines meant more resources mined, more goods finished and delivered. And communication remained expensive throughout that period; I can recall long-distance calls still being relatively costly in my childhood(80s, early 90s).

In contrast, better information implies doing more with less, in the physical sense of time and effort. Taken to its literal extreme we have Twitter as an example - a broadcasting medium without the formality and overhead of TV or radio.

And if our advancements from here on out are mostly based on doing "less" and not "more" physically, the whole way in which our economy is measured today is going to become increasingly wrong.

$10 Billion sounds insane to me. The fundamentals just don't add up. When you consider the user base and their cost base for those users, the number makes no sense.

Consider 25 million users. Even if all 25 million were on the $9.99 plan, that would mean each user pays $119.88 a year, and you're talking a total annual revenue of $2,997,000,000. If everyone was on the $19.99 plan you're looking at annual revenues of $5,997,000,000.

Factor in the storage costs (which I'm sure they'll get a good rate for but don't have any data for) and a $10 billion valuation is simply ludicrous.

The numbers just don't stack up.

"The main difference is that eventlet can’t influence the Python runtime, but actors are built into Erlang at a language level, so the Erlang VM can do some cool stuff like mapping actors to kernel threads (one per core) and preemption. We get around this problem by launching one API server per core and load balancing with nginx."

The actor model is for concurrency, which is when your threads are communicating with one another, right? What about the task that the API server does requires inter-thread communication?
I support this site as I also use a "pseudonym" (I call it a real name, but I will use pseudonym in this post to avoid confusion) almost everywhere. The only place my legal name is found these days is passport, birth certificate, forms related to visas, and the bank. Even my payslips, and the insurance company use my pseudonym. One degree has my legal name on it, but my current degree will have my pseudonym on it. Drivers license has legal on it. Medical insurance has pseudonym.

But I gotta say, facebook and google never asked for any proof of name, so I use my pseudonym there. They are probably the two places I have had the least trouble using my chosen name with.

Shrug. Maybe people should pick believable ones.

I would much rather see people fighting for the right to use their chosen names when interacting with the government and banks etc, than bloody facebook.
Finally, we use a few stateful, global data structures to
track incoming requests and funnel them off to the right
backend queues. In Erlang, the right way to do this is to
spawn off a separate set of actors to manage each data
structure and message pass with them to save and retrieve
data. Our code was not set up this way at all, and it was
clearly crippled by being haphazardly implemented in a
functional style.

Seriously?! I have used only a little erlang, but this makes no sense to me - it's like you were writing some big java project and put everything in one huge class, with all methods and variables static. It's hard for me to imagine why and how someone would write production erlang app with no actors, especially some kind of server. No wonder the thing sucked in the first place.

What about the single biggest contribution to the deficit, the Bush tax cuts?
Contrary to popular belief, Americans aren't actually stupid. We just have a bunch of idiots running our country.
Even Obama admitted that the American people should not have to pay for the mistakes of the people on Capitol Hill.

Personally, I think S&P's decision to drop America's AAA credit rating down to AA+ was the right decision. Someone needed to call us out on our bullshit. S&P said months ago that, to keep our AAA credit rating, we needed to raise the debt ceiling a develop a “creditable” plan to tackle the nation's long-term debt.

We managed to strike a deal that allowed us to raise the debt ceiling, but that's all we did. We have yet to come up with a way to fix our debt problems. The important thing is that S&P didn't say “Well they tried, so they can keep their credit rating.” Instead, they are holding America accountable for it's actions, which is what should have been done ages ago. Whats the point of having a “debt ceiling” if we're going to continue to raise it? We raised the debt ceiling 7 times while George W. Bush was president – that's 7 times in 8 years.

America could be the greatest country on Earth (I think it already is, but thats just my patriotism talking) if we stopped wasting money and came up with an effective plan to start tackling our problems one by one. We have a lot of work to do and hopefully losing our AAA credit rating will get the ball rolling.
Sure, but you are arguing for short-term spending vs long term capital investment. Basically you are arguing that you don't need to get more sleep, you'll just have a red-bull tonight. So the red-bull is better than getting more sleep in general.

If you take all the money (100%) from people who build and make things and give it to people who don't have jobs to spent, in the short term things will be bought and everything thing will appear stimulated. In the long run your entire economy will collapse as your capital base erodes. The basic Keynesian error is to not distinguish between purely consumptive (why don't create jobs to build ships, fill them full of gold and new technology, and then drive them into the Pacific and sink them?) and productive goods which actually build economic wealth and raise the standard of living.

I agree with pg - but for a different reason.

In the past, one of the most significant limiting factors on business growth has been the cost of human labour, and technological development has focused on working around this limitation, eliminating manual jobs and creating jobs improving the technology.

However, as the world population grows and certain very important finite resources, such as fossil fuels, become severely depleted (especially fossil fuel reserves that can be extracted with less energy than the fossil fuel contains), these resources become a more important limiting factor than human time.

I therefore predict that in the future, far more work on technological development will go towards sustainability, and less will go towards minimising human labour. Employment will rise, while the price of anything which is not sustainably produced will rise in real terms relative to the cost of labour.

Due to the relatively higher costs of energy intensive transportation, I expect that there will be some degree of reversal of globalisation with respect to physical goods (but not other industries). Technology will probably play a role in allowing one family or small local community to do locally what currently takes a global network of large companies.

I think inequality will still be a real risk long term - if we ever reach the point where the food production system can be completely automated, and everyone had at least enough technology / capital to produce what they needed to survive and be healthy, poverty would be eliminated - but if only a few people owned all the capital, and squandered most of it on luxuries while others starved, that would be a significantly worse outcome.

Don't fall for the broken window fallacy. If the government wasn't taking money from people via taxation to pay for pothole fillers, then the taxpayers would have their money to spend on what they really want, which would also maintain the virtuous cycle. What you see is the pothole fillers spending money, but what you don't see is all the people who had their money taxed spending less. (If the taxpayers weren't spending their money, it would be in banks being loaned out to other people who would be spending it.)

If what you're talking about is Keynesian government stimulating the economy in bad times by going into debt, that could also be accomplished by cutting taxes rather than borrowing to pay pothole fillers.

What's your process to get a product or services ready to market?
Search Engine Marketing, Social Media and Search Engine Optimization Strategies are all about having your business services and product found on the Web. SEO is all about the rankings. It’s in significance the organic process by which you increase traffic and volume to your site and how early your website appears in the search results of major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN.
So what they are cheap. If company A offers a product for $100 , and company B offers it for $10. If company B is still profitable from the product is it still unfair? Because Google has said since last year that they are already making more money from Android than it costs them.
This time Microsoft was on your side, as they've banded with several other companies in order to buy Novell (and Nortel) patents cheaply, making sure that patent trolls won't acquire the patents and minimalising their effect on the industry (assuming that the new patents would then be only used for "defense", as there is no reason to think otherwise).

The plan would have worked, if not for Google which made the price of patents skyrocket.
This works well for a material solution.

Clear and simple technical explanation.

Good luck with it. Let me/us know when you are launched.
Minor nitpick: I cannot scroll the text using the page down key without missing half a line.
The corollary here is quite interesting: if we imagine this extending quite a ways into the future, we might ask what sort of society we'd like to live in far in the future, where more and more jobs are lost because technology makes them pointless for humans to do.

Say only 10% of humans had any skill whatsoever that would provide value that could not be more cheaply obtained by deploying technology. Say it got further, to 1%.

Imagine a world where only a handful of the most incredibly skilled humans can do anything better (i.e. more cost effectively) than a computer, and the rest are rightfully unemployed, because they have nothing to offer. A world where your 20 years of hard earned programming expertise is utterly worthless in the marketplace because an open source program exists that will read a plain language spec and spit out a good approximation of the same code you would have written, except without buffer overrun bugs and it'll be done in 20 seconds instead of three weeks. Where "lawyer" and "doctor" are professions-that-were because humans aren't fit to compete, and where one by one all the other careers considered unassailable today are swallowed up by increasingly sophisticated automation. Sure, we might be left with a few professions that require physical humanity (people will still want to see people in entertainment, for instance), but in the end, most of the wealth in the world will not be created by humans in any direct way.

You might start to understand why it's not such a terrible idea to move closer towards a socialist society as time goes on - eventually we're all going to be unskilled labor, possibly even unemployable, and we're close enough to that point (I'd say within a couple generations, at the outside, barring some major disruptions that hold back further technological progress) that we should probably start thinking about the consequences.
“But What is the Difference between You and the Competition?”
Exactly, and they are not selling Android below cost. They are making a profit with it.
It appears that this web service has a rather obvious defect, the Content-Type is set to "text/html; charset=utf-8" yet, the response body seems to be JSON rather than HTML. The proper Content-Type should be "application/json" with Content-Disposition to "inline". Perhaps they didn't do this since some browsers ignore the Content-Disposition with this Content-Type, and prompt to download the content regardless.

Even so, "text/html" is still wrong. Since the content actually isn't intended for a JSON parser, but, a human, "text/plain" would be the most conservative (and not wrong).

I'd be interested to know a couple of things. First, what types of sites were the people in the study were looking at? My gut feel is that I look at news sites in a different way than I look at product sites, for example. Second, for product sites, where do users look when they are seeking a call to action? When I first view a page I am looking for information. went I want to take action, I scan around looking for a button or link.

Ok looks like if the url is referred from Hacker News, then they are displaying, {"is_fb_employee":"maybe soon? https://www.facebook.com/careers/department.php?dept=enginee...}

Even if you are logged out.

I am not an facebook employee so if i just paste the url in address bar and enter it, it shows: is_fb_employee: false with my UID.

If i logged out, it shows UID: 0 with is_fb_employee: false.

It's a nice idea to attract ppl from different site and based on the site domain, give them relevant career page url. (May be an intern project)

So for HN, it's engineering career page, if the referral site is relevant to some other domain (i.e. sales/marketing) then they will give http://www.facebook.com/careers/department.php?dept=sales.

Not sure how much data facebook have of other websites for categorizing majority of the websites in to different domain, but i feel Google can do much better with the same concept.
