I just burned through The girl with dragon tattoo trilogy and I'm more than halfway through the 2nd book in the Hunger games trilogy (started on the first one on Saturday). Reading on the Nook Color has been fantastic and I only stop once the battery is too low and needs a charge. Like you, just one more chapter...

- they fail to convey information because people have a really hard time judging relative areas instead of lengths.

- there are times when a pie chart is appropriate

- once you get data that isn't widely different or you have lots of categories your pie chart would be better as either a bar chart, or as simply a data table

- pic of horrid "word features" chart

- why is it bad?

- releases occur chronologically, but the data is displayed in a clockwise fashion with no obvious starting point

- the pie chart has no values on it at all, so we are left staring at the chart trying to guess the relative sizes of the slices

- the chart is 3D

- which makes it extra bad for estimating relative sizes

- 3D pie charts are simply an abomination

- making them 3D just makes them even harder to interpret
My problem with newer Ubuntu was not with Unity itself, but with lesser ability to configure anything decently (for example, move the launcher panel). I'd have to literally hack my way through the code and config files, and I didn't like it.

Once upon a time I was a Gentoo guy. I've ran wmii (and later moved to xmonad) and had my own portage overlay with quite a lot of near-to-the-bleeding-edge versions and personalization patches to various software. Then I've graduated, got a job and had significantly less time to maintain patches and fiddle around with customizations and compile software. So I've moved to Ubuntu, where everything worked almost "out of the box", and I've mostly had to click around the GUI or edit some simple config files to make the system suit my tastes.

With the relatively recent changes, I had a feeling that the system had become less "open", harder to customize. So, as a first step, I've moved to Kubuntu (but don't really like it due to various KDE glitches).

I want a distro, with a recent packages, that would decently work out-of-the-box, but doesn't hide everything deep under the hood. Ubuntu started to lack that, so I've moved a bit (to Kubuntu) and now lazily looking for the alternatives.
The word is "layman's". Lehman Brothers is the investment bank that collapsed in 2008. Cute typo.

The simplest translation, though: The market believes that if you were to loan money to Greece for two years, there's only about a 33% chance that you'll get your money back.

(That's 1.74^(-2) assuming risk-neutrality and a risk-free rate of 0%, which is depressing but sure makes calculations easier. In reality, the math is much more complicated, as nobody is actually neutral to asset risk, and you have to consider pseudo-defaulting via inflation, and the fact that bonds aren't entirely worthless after a default, etc.)
Ok, long discussion, i cannot add much given my non-familiarity with climate change science, but will point out this quote, i wrote some time back. "One generation's science is the another generation's religion"
Edward Tufte gives the pie chart a more succinct and decisive treatment in "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information":

A table is nearly always better than a dumb pie chart; the
only worse design than a pie chart is several of them, for
then the viewer is asked to compare quantities located in
spatial disarray both within and between charts [...] Given
their low density and failure to order numbers along a
visual dimension, pie charts should never be used.

Yes. It's kind of a "double-or-nothing" casino game.

The yield is determined by the free market, it's the amount that Greece has to (promise to) pay for anyone to take them. It's not determined by a formula afaik, just based on current events and the state of the country's finances.

I don't think you can invest (or rather, speculate, this is too crazy to call investing) in these as normal retail investor though.
I think this is a very good point, one I had not considered before. The executive team may think everyone below them is slacking if we don't hit 60 hours, without realizing that we also have to cook, clean, and be our own accountants. On the flip side, maybe the top level aren't the workaholics I thought, they simply have the resources to devote nearly 100% of their working time to the office.

Not really, if Greece defaults, bonds will still hold certain value (like half of the original price or so). So not really a lottery ticket.

Also 98% chance seems pretty high especially when Germany and France are going to do everything to avoid this because their banks are heavily invested in Greek bonds.

Remember that rates are always given as annual rates. If you buy $100 in two-year bonds, in two years you get about $303 back, or ($100 * 1.74^2).

"the medieval warm period was warme[r] than today, which is false"

Why is that false?

There are many possible explanations for the latter anomalies - our CO2 output likely is part of influence, but hardly the only. Global temperatures, ocean acidity, and the ozone layer have all fluctuated dramatically over time, even long before humans existed. In fact, in the Archaean period and earlier, earth did not even have an ozone layer.
There is a common mantra here of "don't hate the player, hate the game", but people have to understand that large institutions like investment banks don't play by the same rules as everyone else. When the player rewrites the rules to his favor, the game is flawed deeply, however a great deal of blame still lies with the people that decide to manipulate the rules.
You say you're getting paid well and that the valuation is in the single-digit millions. Run the math on that. The most you are likely to get out of that for ANY likely equity share is on the order of a nice bonus, NOT on the order of FU money.

Working at a startup usually means interesting problems and opportunities for rapid personal growth. That plus a near-market salary is a pretty reasonable use of your time unless Google is currently on the other line.

Read the FAQ, the beta version has a different license than the full release will:

Q: How is Kendo UI licensed? Is it open source?

Kendo UI is dual-licensed, Commercial and Open Source (GPLv3).

The Commercial license includes full source, professional support, access to the latest Kendo UI hotfix builds, and priority influence on the Kendo UI roadmap. During the Beta phase, the framework is licensed under a Beta license and no commercial license is available.
To be clear, the yield is determined by the free market as the price they pay for the bond. If the bond was originally priced at $100, with a 1% coupon payment (the amount the government or bond issuer will pay you in interest), if the resale value goes down to $50 in the open market, then the yield has doubled to 2%, since a new owner of the bond only had to pay $50 to get the same $1 coupon payment while holding the bond.

I can't remember the exact DSL, unfortunately. But as an example, consider the following pseudo-code:

for($i = 0; i < 100; $i++) {
$product = mysql_query("query_string");
// do something with product
}

or the far more readable:

Products.find_all.each do |product|
product.do_something
end

Of course, this is only the difference between an ORM and database code, but I think you can imagine the difference if you also encode your clients' vocabulary in your models.

Funny thing is, even though I see 4 or 5 emails a day from recruiters, his name is so unique I actually remembered him! I don't think people should be crucified for single outbursts, but it's safe to say that this guy is on a tear and needs taking down.
I thought the example of using a DSL to get as close to the mindset of the customer as possible was a good concrete example.

I think it was also pointed out that even with this DSL, there was still communication errors. However, it seemed easier to fix the misunderstandings because there was a DSL there to fall back on.
>Uh, I don't really buy it. Banks can not just fix arbitrary prices for food. They speculate on high food prices because they have reasons to believe that prices will rise. Those reasons are the real culprits.

It's like any other bubble - it started basically because of a lack of anywhere else to invest, and at some point it just grew because it was growing. Remember 1999?

>And sorry, how bad is the infographic, if the chart just says "rising food prices driven by speculation" - that is not proof, that is just a claim.

I thought it was common knowledge. Certainly none of the fundamentals of the market for food have changed enough to warrant price rises to that extreme, and most of the demand is being driven by the futures market, not by, say, the entire world eating 70% more food.
You are ignoring resale value. I'll walk you through my math using 15,000 miles a year on my Subaru Forester.

I bought my 2004 Forester XS with 70,000 miles on it for $9300 (KBB very good or excellent condition at purchase, but that was actual price paid to seller on Craigslist). I have exactly 100,000 on it right now. In between I've done about $1000 in non-scheduled maitenance & repairs (new A/C compressor, and an O2 sensor) that are related to the age of the car. I will ignore about $1000 in regular maitenance (oil changes, automatic transmission changes, new set of tires, new belts).

Based on the current value on Craigslist, I can get easily $7500 for it. So I will have lost $1800 on the price of the car and $1000 on repairs over 2 years. That's only $1500 a year or $116 a month which is not bad.

But over the next 45,000 miles, the car repairs are going to pick up. Timing belt change and a new exhaust are both looming which is around $1500. Plus what do you get for a car with 150,000 miles on it, $3000? $4000? So lets say over the next 3 years I will spend $2k on maitenance and the price will drop from the current $7500 to $4k. 3.5k in depreciation and $2k in maitenance is $5.5k over 3 years and around $152 a month. Obviously the car is getting more costly, and that is assuming I can get $4000 for the car with 145,000 miles on it which is asking a lot. More likely it will cost more like $180 a month.

So now we're talking about $180 a month for a car with somewhere between 100,000 and 145,000 miles on it. I used to pay $206 a month for a brand new Mazda 6 on lease that I put $500 down on. As a skier I like the Subaru but you'd be hard pressed to convince me a car with 20,000 miles on it is not worth $40 more a month than a car with 120,000 miles on it.

For comparison the original owner had to do basically no repairs and got 70,000 miles for a depreciation from $24,000 to $9300. So he lost around $267 a month. He may have even been better off leasing 2 cars during that time period.

Take your car, pull up the kelly blue book, and graph it out by year in Excel. Everyone knows that depreciation is not linear and that the 1st year is a killer, but a lot of people don't realize there are several plateaus in the price. If you buy and and sell the car on either end of a plateau you will lose very little. I holding a bit too long on this car, I should have sold it 5k miles ago or right now, but I really want it for the winter for skiing and I want to sell it in the spring and have no car at all next summer which is of course the cheapest option of all.

*Note I did the math owning the car start to finish, that would be $24,000 for the car and probably $4k for repairs over the life of the car (lets say 175,000 miles). That's 12 years with the same car and it costs roughly $200 a month. Personally after 12 years I would be quite bored with a car, but you can see it's not always the absolute cheapest option. I personally prefer to keep buying good quality/condition used cars coming off lease or the first owner and hold them for 2-3 years and then sell them.

Indeed to both ... but Germany and France can't bail out all the PIIGS. Spain is probably outright impossible and Italy is out of the question. And that's ignoring the willingness of the citizens of the former to indefinitely fund the profligate ways of their southern neighbors; I'm not sure how responsive the French government is or has to be to its electorate but I gather the German system works well enough. (Plus don't forget that German GDP or what it export growth just flattened....)
Yep, seems almost the same!
I totally agree with this post (and the ability to convey such an idea in a few paragraphs is refreshing).

Basically, your mind is like a map of ideas created out of all of your experiences. Trying to describe a specific idea in that map with someone else is basically taking two different ideas and merging them. Both the describer and listen will end up changing their map: the idea.

Really hard stuff to do.
To be honest, I still don't understand how speculation is supposed to drive the food prizes up. At the very least, food seems very ill suited for that kind of speculation, because it deteriorates. So if your gamble doesn't play out within a year or so, you make a loss of 100%.

Seriously, how does it work? So you buy a certificate for 100$, giving you the right to pay a ton of wheat for 1000$. Then you buy a ton of wheat for 1000$. Then what? If nobody buys wheat for you for 2000$, you lose. Rather than throwing the wheat away, you might end up selling it for 500$. Simply by buying a future that entitles you to buy wheat for 1000$/ton doesn't change the price of wheat. In the same sense it doesn't change the price of Google stock if I decide to buy a future that entitles me to buy Google stock for 10000$/unit.

It might be a problem for the baker who wants to plan ahead and would rather like to have a guarantee that he'll get the wheat for 500$. But if the real price is actually headed for 2000$, he would not have gotten that 500$ certificate anyway. Also if he had gotten it, he would effectively have ripped off the peasants.

Also, somebody has to buy the food at those high prizes. And if prizes stay high, it would be good for peasants and they should increase production. For example it might become more profitable to plant real food instead of raw materials for ethanol.
I'm always put off when a framework doesn't get straight down to the code/usage examples. Down with meta bloat.
> I thought the example of using a DSL to get as close to the mindset of the customer as possible was a good concrete example.

No, "concrete" means that it's something real and tangible. Not just "a DSL" and "a customer", but "a language for the control of a nuclear power plant" and "General Electric" or something like that. Well, a specific company name is not so important, but the industry and what the language's scope was seem extremely relevant to me.

Without actually providing an example, you have no idea what level of abstraction they're working at, and what kinds of benefits and limitations the DSL may have.

If this is what people would have to do, why would anyone do that over native?
If it is common knowledge, then why make an infographic about it? I don't see that "certainly" you mention. Rather, there are lots of factors that seem to threaten food supply in the future (isn't the latest scare the depletion of phosphor?).

Also other than a failed startup, a ton of wheat still sticks around if you buy it. You can either sell it off or let it deteriorate (for a 100% loss).

Sure, you can try to artificially shorten supply and drive prices up that way. It is an age old economic strategy, but as far as I know it has never really worked before (from what I remember from economics textbooks). It would only work for a very short time. Say you hoard rice this year and sell only a little rice at exorbitant prices. Peasants the world over would increase their rice production, so next year there would be a lot more rice, plus your warehouses are already stocked to the ceiling with rice from last year. The prices will now be low - either you sell your rice for cheap, or you throw it into the river. In both cases, the attempt was not really worth it.
Some Top Hobbies Of Retirees
Opera loses users when high-profile websites don't work, and often getting websites fixed is impossible — authors respond (if you can reach them at all) "We don't support Opera, duh".

Some of the patches target common scripts (especially unmaintained ones like all those "hot" DHTML menus and WYSIWYG editors full of browser sniffing and hacks), so few lines of browser.js can fix thousands of sites.

Although it sometimes backfires, most often it offers a fix without the rewrite-engine—release—everyone-upgrades cycle :)

“People want to be able to build it their way. They kind of want a Burger King: ‘I don’t like pickles — why do I have to have pickles?’”

The big gain in outsourcing something like this/buying an "off the shelf" solution is that you don't get exactly what you want, but you get it cheaper because the people you buy it from are doing it at volume.

When you need a solution as specialized as Facebook, it doesn't surprise me that the big players are unwilling to break their service offerings/support model (at a competitive price), because they are more concerned with keeping their own costs down. They don't want to have to hire people to support a special infrastructure for just one customer...

Thus, Facebook gets what they need and at a better price by doing it themselves.
Hm, perhaps the right bacteria could convert the whole planet into cheese :-/ ponders startup idea...
On the flip side, maybe the top level aren't the workaholics I thought, they simply have the resources to devote nearly 100% of their working time to the office.

That's precisely it, borne out by repeated studies. The average big-company CEO works 58 hours per week. That's not slacking, but with the magical ability to buy one's way out of most out-of-office responsibilities, it's not that impressive either. It's what average people work, all included. CEOs just have the luxury of being more focused.

People don't actually vary that much in how much they can work. You're better off learning how to "work smart" than trying to work more hours. Most "hard working" people are just more focused, not more sacrificial.

To be cynical: the "power career" people are just another mechanism through which an elite class sustains an illusion of superiority. People whose bitchy daily needs are taken care of can work 1.5 times harder and learn 1.5 times faster and, because of nonlinearity and network effects, they get 10 times the results. It performs the same function as being a 6-foot-tall nobleman in 800 AD, when the average peasant was under 5 feet due to malnutrition. People of height now considered average were "obviously" physically superior and deserved their status of lordship.

Ten or fifteen years from now, I'll probably be running my own company. And I'll be leaving at 5:00 pm every day and "stealth" working from home. I don't want people with less income trying to compete against me on hours. That's stupid. I'd rather they do a good job and keep their personal lives in order at the same time.
