People's revealed preference is that they value watching TV more than they do saving money on food by trading the time it requires to do so. In other words, the 'cost ceiling' (I just made up that term :) ) of watching TV is higher than that of the potential savings of cooking at home.

I'm not sure what you're arguing - you may make a different trade off yourself, fine; you may disapprove of other people's choices, also fine even if rather nosy. But apparently, people just like watching TV more and they're willing to pay for it.

Additionally, I think your argument is flawed in that you don't account for other costs of cooking at home. For one, you need a kitchen, utensils, some basic skills and access to transportation to get goods from the shop to your home. All of which are not readily available to many low-income families.

HTTP is an inherently request-based protocol. The HTML file that I request from the server has links to ads. A stock browser will request those ad links. Ad block tells the browser not to. So it's more like if someone asks you "hey, I have free ice cream bars, want one?" and after you receive it he then asks "It also comes with this ad flyer. Want it too?" and you say "no, thanks" or take it and throw it in the trash immediately. Is it rude? Sure. Is it stealing? If the legality of the transaction was dependent on me accepting the ad, then that should have been negotiated before you sent me HTTP 200. But that's not in the HTTP protocol. If you don't like the protocol or don't think it's fair, don't use it.

How long have there been Subway franchises in Sweden? More people are going to Subway here (Netherlands) too, but that's just because they're only now starting to open more shops.

Furthermore, http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=2054&... says that you're flat out wrong - 2010 was a record year for McDonalds turnover in Sweden. Unless you have data on McDonalds' image and the result of that on its turnover in Sweden, don't take your impressions of certain phenomenons as fact because it's sure to suffer sample bias.

Out of interest, does that mean you eat out most of the time? Breakfast, lunch and dinner? How do you avoid getting tired of eating the same things? After eating out for a week when on a business trip or vacation, I get so tired of it that I'm happy to go home and just bake a simple steak or sausage with some broccoli, or whatever else most basic thing I feel like. Of course you can go to a restaurant and have a steak but they still never taste as... uncomplicated... as a home-baked one.

Perhaps the main reason that the article uses that particular example is that there is a striking difference between climate scientists and the general population.

The general population thinks that there are contentious arguments about climate change.

Climate scientists don't think so. Yes, there's always discussions about the small details, but that's why they're scientists. There is no contention about the big picture among climate scientists.

Then again, it is true that the article doesn't follow its own advice, which is given at the very end: to avoid emotional confrontation, in order to give the facts a fighting chance. If the author honestly wanted to convince someone, it would have been much better to start of with less emotionally charged topics, and then perhaps sneak in climate change towards the end.

If you mean this screenshot: http://www.seobook.com/images/google-get-rich-quick.png, I don't see anything predatory about it--there is demand for these product categories and in a healthy economy, enterprising individuals should be rushing to supply them. For me, the SEOBook article falls flat and comes across as someone hand waving about people behaving irrationally.

True story, as a teenager, I bought Carlton Sheets no down payment real estate program. While Carlton didn't deliver any magic beans, I actually took a lot away from the experience. While there are no doubt hucksters out there, I think that most "get rich quick" offers do have some educational value... and if Google is doing their job, the products with the most value will get into more people's hands.

Causation != Correlation, except when it does. :) It's going to be interesting to see what Apple does without Jobs, though it's impossible to consider what they would have done without Jobs. :)
I hardly ever spend more than 20 minutes, and of that most of it is waiting for things to bake/cook. Take piece of meat (selection of about 20-30 at my supermarket), some vegetable (about 15-20 to choose from); come home, put on pan and pot with water; heat oil/butter and boil water (5 mins); put in meat, bake for 10-20 minutes (depending on type), meanwhile boil vegetable (6-15 minutes) and you're done. Every couple of minutes, turn meat around and stir vegetables. Meanwhile, read mail or magazine, unload dishwasher, set table, make phone calls, do online banking, etc.

I mean there's cooking and cooking - one is 'prepare great dish to delight taste buds', other is 'transform ingredients with sufficient nutrients to make it through the next couple of hours into a form that is easily digestible, sanitary and doesn't make you vomit when eating it'. Doesn't sound very romantic when I put it like that, but that second form is by far the most common way of 'cooking'.
yes! Maybe would be better to have a commentable hacker wiki section.
Beautiful, maybe; maintainable, not so sure. A colleague's iMac is likely to need a motherboard replacement and he was going through the procedure with me. The amount of work and the sheer cost of parts for something so routine on a PC astounded me.
Ask HN: Why are news sites writing so much about Steve Jobs?
Everyone knows now that Steve has resigned from Apple as CEO. He might continue as Chairman though. But why are the news websites and magazines writing so much about Steve? I have seen such an avalanche of articles and tributes only when someone died!

No it isn't.

The lack of fact-based critical thinking is precisely what causes things like the 2008 financial crisis. If an argument is riddled with factual errors I cannot give any faith in its conclusion even if I am generally supportive of them.
Thanks for mentioning it, and saving me the work of typing (or copying) the long title. This paper is great. If I had a dime for every time I've linked to it on Stack Overflow, I would have a lot of foreign change of little practical use.
I have to say, I am more concerned about Steve Jobs than about Apple. Today's news made me sad because the world will miss contributions from a genius.

I am confident that we will have nice computing hardware in the future. Even today, Apple are not the only ones to deliver.

But there is/was only one Steve Jobs.

Guess I am one of the few on HN who doesn't own Apple stock, so I am free to just worry about the man and not the company.
Oh great, another internet toughman boasting about how all those IDE-using pussies are just stupid and how Real Programming should be left to Real Programmers (queue story of Mel here somewhere). rollseyes

When you have to type commands to see what you would otherwise see immediately, how is that not a usability deficiency? GDB fans just have Stockholm syndrome.

And if you think there is anyone on this world who has a complete mental model of each line of code in a 10k-line project, let alone a 100k or 1m one, you're insane. I'm not talking about debugging a 15-line function, But even then, single-stepping through a function of that size doesn't even cost extra time when you use proper tools (and not that POS gdb), so 'waste your time' doesn't even apply there.

Debuggers have a bad rep with some crowds because of the damage gdb did - people think that that's how debugger work and can only work. Navel-gazing at its worst.

I donated, but that's simply because I'm an incredible fan of the work (and most of his writing) - I figure it's my way of 'supporting' him. Wonder if this counts as 'monetizing?
Assuming the anecdote is accurate, my guess is this was Steve's subtle way of nudging Vic to be more attentive to details. I don't think Steve would call anyone at anytime making a fuss over such a small thing - he would never get any work done.

Call someone who's work is starting to slip once on a Sunday to complain about some minutiae, and you are letting them know that you are watching - even if you aren't really watching all the time. I think this is a leadership technique, not the micro-management it appears to be.

This also is a way of Steve asserting control and dominance. Making someone scurry over a mis-tinted letter sets the tenor of the relationship.

I think it's important not to take the wrong lessons from all these anecdotes. Jobs knows how to get good work out of people by causing them to demand perfection of themselves and to fear producing imperfect products. No CEO has time to exact perfection end to end - their job is to set standards, expectation, and culture. Sometimes ridiculous demonstrations of micro-management are just what someone needs.
I think most rational people would have said something like: "Steve, I agree that is an important detail but it does not warrant a phone call to me on Sunday morning. Send me an email. We'll speak tomorrow."

The question is, why didn't people say things like that to Steve Jobs?

Or do only the ones that prostrated themselves to him ever speak up? (or get the attention when they do?)

I want some stories of people telling Jobs to piss off.
It's funny in a screwed up way because he uses the 'she' form for a person to be fired. So in a weird PC way I thought 'man, why is this guy harping on this poor woman being fired - as if guys can't screw up and be fired'.

So to be really PC he needs to step it up a notch - prefer to 'he/him' when somebody is doing something wrong, and 'she/her' when doing something good :)

And those two would be considered among the least piratic! The English Crown granted licenses that gave commercial vessels the rights to any plunder from Spanish ships and settlements. It was effectively a loose mercenary affiliation. Deal: We empower you to commit legally sanctioned piracy. In return you make life difficult for our enemies and cut us in on the proceeds. Soldiers in war were never as restrained as period movies would have us believe, so imagine being boarded or invaded by a desperate privateer crew with not even the semblance of honor and soldierly gallantry to moderate their behavior.

"batman.js is a JavaScript framework for rich JavaScript applications. It's designed to make development as fast and as painless as possible for developers and designers while giving them lots of power."

Your target audience is developers, yes? We can take it. The first thing in your pitch should be how it helps, not "We'll save you lots of time, we promise. Trust us!"
Very informative post. I (and I suspect many others reading this) regularly have to fire executives at multinationals with several thousands in staff and 100's of millions in turnover. I'm going to bookmark this and the next time I need to, I'll be sure to re-read this blog post - because every time I do something like this, I rely on blog posts to instruct me on how to do it.

(yes yes I'm a snarky asshole - I liked to read it too, I guess in the same way women like to read in Cosmopolitan about cocktail parties where super models wear designer dresses and party all night every night drinking 1000$ / bottle champagne and have affairs with billionaires, but really, when you look at it critically, what is the value of this to anyone but the top 1/1000th percentile of the population?)

I say that corporate apps are boring whatever you do to make them less so. Corporate users don't use those apps because they want to, they use them because they must use them to perform their work. It's the obligation that's the killer.
I think there IS a difference, I just don't know exactly what... So I am just thinking loudly:
The diffrence may be that you have to work on a relatively risky product which when executed with extremely high attention to detail can have huge impact. A consumer hardware is seemingly such a thing. Probably a new programming language or a very elegant software lib either. The boring Java business application which I am maintaining at my workplace right now and contains hundreds of tables and hundreds of thousands lines of code, but only has impact on a relatively few customers is not such a thing.
My side project, which is a relatively small (but relatively risky in its approach) software lib might be such a thing.

TLDR: When executing something which is not risky and not very innovative and/or cannot have high impact by nature (niche market) but takes a lot of grunt work, high attention to detail does not pay off.

Apple will continue to make quality products but I doubt it will keep the ability to market them as well.

They lose their vision, and in this rare instance, this word actually means something. It meant they could release a totally new product and have an immediate business success. They just lost that. The iPhone 5 will be fine, the iPad 3 will be fine. The next "big thing" will fail.

I won't lie : I am relieved that this happen. In Job's "vision" there was a lot of things I didn't like in terms of lockdown, of control of consuming habits, in its relationship with developers seen as allies when living in Cueprtino but has spawns of hell when independent.

So long Steve, and thanks for the fish. As a human I wholeheartedly hope you will overcome your medical problems, as a developer I sincerely hope that this means the darker parts of your visions become further from reality.

The past Greek government blatantly lied about the debt they were accumulating to appease their voters. In a democratic system, unfortunately, nobody can say "it's not my fault" (this is unfortunately true for me too, here in Italy, even if I never voted Berlusconi).

That said:

- if you default as a Country and don't pay back your debts who is going to trust you again? Greece needs foreign investment

- if they were forced out of the Euro, what kind of inflation and interest rates would they get in Greece?

- don't forget that Greece got a lot of money from the EU programmes for poorer countries. If they were kicked out they wouldn't get any more

There are many more reasons not to default, but I think these are more than enough.
Totally agree, lets hope the man makes a full recovery. While I'm not a fan of Apple, I do appreciate his profound impact on this industry.

To your main point: are irrational numbers, say, "out there"? If so, where?

I believe this to be a bad counterpoint, because you could ask the same thing about natural numbers as well. I've personally never seen a natural number. Sure, I have seen and worked with lots of representations of natural numbers, but the numbers themselves are - as far as I understand it - not physical objects. There is no qualitative difference between natural numbers and any other mathematical objects in that respect. They are all on the same "plane of existence".

At least that's a valid world view or ontology. I know that not everybody thinks like that, but besides clarifying what the parent poster probably meant I think it's not a very meaningful discussion.
