Tennis, yes! And I would guess also Basketball and other games with small but many incremental scoring.

I read some time an article in which was argued, that this is a fundamental difference in Soccer compared to other team sports. As there is often only 1-2 goals in Soccer a Toss-up between a top team and an underdog is more likely. It is even often the case that a team is playing dominating but they lose anyhow, because the weaker team is getting lucky and stumples the ball in the goal. This keeps the sport fresh and interesting and is seen by fans as a virtue. The randomness is then cancelled out over the season and marginal advantage is important in competition for the league championship.

Thats due to the barnett formula which was introduced in part to deal with poverty north of the border. It was meant as a temporary measure and was soooo effective that we still use it.
Are you bending over backwards doing the wrong things? Its not a question of simply giving money to Scotland - that doesn't help Scotland. It keeps us poor just like keeping people on benefits isn't actually good for them but helping them get into work and to create their own money is good for them.
Its the little and big decisions that may have nothing to do with what money is spent where that keep Scotland where it is.
Is the barnett formula continuing so that unionists can say look we're trying to help but your still not pulling your weight, whilst making bad decisions that actually keep Scotland poor?

* Need to somehow know which videos are made by people who know what they're talking about

The same applies to text.

We had all better stop talking, just in case someone overreacts to something we say. Fiction writers, especially, take note.
I don't think you understand...

The government is funneling tax-payer money into privately-owned organizations, like banks. Normal tax-payers are not reaping benefits from this (such as roads, schools, etc). But even then, I suspect most of this bailout money is going into golden parachutes for executives or bailing out bad/risky investments.

The original logic behind these bailouts is that it would somehow keep the economy more stable and "save" the companies - the latter part is a joke though because most of the bailed-out companies now trade as junk stock (Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, etc).
America won't fall behind Indian and china for the reasons you mentioned. I'm from India and I can tell there is huge problem of illiteracy here has well. And I believe every nation on earth has these problems.

America today is loosing because of totally different reasons. And nobody but America as a nation is to be blamed for that. The way I see America is loosing out jobs that have earnings directly accounted by number of hours worked or volume delivered(In other words manufacturing kind of jobs). And for that every single aspect of the American society is responsible. Don't get me wrong, I'm for capitalism. But there is huge difference between mindless consumerism that goes on in America and what happens in the rest of the world. Coupled with high standards of living. It is, but impossible to provide manufacturing and other process based jobs at rates similar to that in China and India. And given the conditions under which most people are made to work is unthinkable in America.

There is a saying here, that if you don't want to do a particular job somebody is always out there who will do it.And will do it better over time, and during the same time begin to lead that market. This is what has happened, back then when America was not into pointless wars, and the tax system was sane. A lot of Americans didn't to the very same jobs which are today being shipped(And why would they, when you are paid well to do better jobs. And sometimes paid to do nothing at all - read social security benefits).

We have no such social security/medicare benefits alternatives here. Here either we slog and earn or just get wiped out.We don't enjoy/get vacations/trips. Most of us can't eat at restaurants everyday. We can't spend like hell, just to buy a new version of the iPhone.

Here in India, Its all about struggle to livelihood to its bare minimum necessities - Food, Clothing and Shelter.

We have no other option but to beat you. That's what we have to do to survive here.

HN is where I heard about it. Here's the thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2318076
A similar thing happened last week in Johannesburg. Our ruling party is conducting a long overdue purge of its Youth League, and there was a rent-a-crowd bussed in by the targeted faction, outside the party HQ in central Johannesburg, that threw some stones at police and reporters. However, on Twitter, I saw a rumour that stones were being thrown on a main road in the rich northern suburbs. The rumour spread on Twitter despite almost immediate denials.

Although panic didn't take hold, because of limited Twitter penetration, and because the idea that the stone throwing jumped 20 km northwards into white suburbia probably set off BS detectors, it could have gotten out of hand fast. In fact, I expect a major social-networking fed panic to happen here soon enough.

When someone says "I confirm", it means that they have personally seen or heard something. I have very little sympathy for the person who created the original tweet. A bit more for the person who retweeted. In both cases 30 years is too harsh, but there do need to be consequences for creating chaos on such a large scale.

The dominant advice in this thread is absolutely correct, assuming you worked for a typical company. No longer your problem, move on without burning your bridges.

That said, 'the organization (which shall remain nameless) is doing great work that I truly wish to see succeed' doesn't sound like a regular business. I'd bet money you worked for a non-profit or some other cause-based organization, and the work itself was personally meaningful to you.

In this case I'd politely state my concerns to the people in your exit interview - not railing against the man, but just stating that you believe your termination wasn't the correct decision, was a setback for your organization's goals, and for the sake of the organization you hope they'll pay close attention to your former manager's performance in the future. You should also state that you don't have any ill will for the organization and that you'd be happy to work with them in the future should the situation be different. Don't get emotional - you're an experienced Rails developer, you're not going to suffer any economic hardship here. Just express regret about the damage to the organization and its potential.

Unless your firing's going to kill babies or something, I wouldn't do anything further than that by going outside regular procedures, despite your inclinations. We live in a litigious society and cause-driven people (no offense to you personally) are usually pretty touchy. You don't need the hassle.

I don't know which meaning of random you have in mind, but we can make predictions about random "things".

If I understand correctly if we measure qubit that is in 10/90 superposition of 0 and 1, we have 0.1 and 0.9 chance of it becoming 0 and 1 respectively. We can predict, that it would probably be 1, but it is still random.

Or am I wrong?

Windows Of Our Soul
When I was 16, I wrote an essay on quantum physics for my Dutch class. It was 10 pages long and then I discovered the instructions were to write a 2 page essay. Desperate not to lose any of the interesting stuff, I took every 10 sentence paragraph and condensed as many of them as I could into single sentences. I kept all the equations, but none of the context. Strictly speaking, none of the information was lost, but the essay became completely incomprehensible, even when adjusting for the expectations one might have for an essay on quantum physics by a 16 year old. Needless to say, I was rather shocked when I got a failing grade.

This article reminds me a little of that essay. As a Linux user, which the first sentence implies is the target audience, this article helps me understand exactly nothing.

P.S. For your own sanity, never read back anything you wrote as a teenager. Dear lord.
Well, that only shows your ignorance, not the state of web development.
Something that has been overlooked: 1px offset in the :active state
And this is why more web developers need to be aware of and use things like jQuery Mobile:

http://jquerymobile.com/

If you look at the platforms list on that page, you will see that you can actually use this framework to build a mobile site that looks and works decently on an extremely wide variety of devices.

One of the best things about jQuery Mobile is that it is extensively documented. Just go to the docs and demos and view the source for any page that impresses you. You will instantly be able to see the markup that you need to duplicate that pages functionality.

(Tip: Before viewing the source, make sure that you remove everything to the left of the # in the url, including the # itself. Just check out the docs, you'll know what I am referring to.)

Using a good mobile framework, it is trivial to provide a mobile version of sites that already exist on the Internet, so why not do it and gain access to a an additional audience?

I think this could really use screenshots (as above) or some kind of visual tour. Usually if I can't figure out why I would want to use something within 30 seconds, I don't bother coming back. You need to sell the product. :)

I didn't even notice the 'read more about Duuble' button until I saw it mentioned by jorangreef above (point 6). It isn't in a very obvious location and isn't particularly eye catching, mostly due to looking like the other buttons and having a small font.

By comparison, Springpad has an easily visible 'How it works' button in the top-right corner, next to the create account button (https://springpadit.com/) and Simplenote has a link called 'More reasons to use Simplenote...' in the bottom-right corner (http://simplenoteapp.com/). These are much easier to find.

Also, I assumed your headings (It's Simple, Private, Posting, etc) were links to more information, since they didn't have any content below them explaining /why/ Duuble is simple, private, etc.

In summary, you really need to sell the product by clearly explaining what it is and why I would want it. I think the front page design could use some general improvement, as suggested by jorangreef.

Good work so far.
1. Congratulations for getting it launched. I think the idea is nice but there are many similar sites. e.g. deviantart.com. I hope you have some usp and a plan to compete if this is going to be a startup.

2. Design is nice lookwise, but need some changes from usability perspective. e.g., better icons can be used for categories, filter button is too small. etc.

3. In preview portfolio page, I would prefer to see the actual design first and then description. It would be better if it appears side by side for a quick look.

4. In Start Reviewing list, a small thumbnail of design can make things more interesting. (See threadless.com critique section for details. You can learn a lot from threadless model)

5. Why separate review screen? Can't it be done in intial project page? Try reducing number of clicks wherever possible.

6. Instead of drop down try star ratings. It's quick, easy and well accepted. Put rating widget and buttons in one row. Make comment textarea small. Don't make user scroll if not necessary.

7. My flash plugin is either outdated or corrupt. I'm unable to upload images on site. Basic HTML version of file upload?

Overall, nice try. Keep improving and be prepared for competitions. All the best.

I'd like to comment on one point that Eric made that is very contrary to popular belief [summary, not a quote]: Outsourcing of manufacturing often does NOT occur as a result of lower labor costs abroad, but is rather a matter of quality outcomes. Plants around the world are rated on attributes like reliability, robustness, quality in general -- and the US often does not score very high. Eric hints that this could be due to better educated workers abroad. Eric also believes that we NEED more manufacturing to occur domestically if we want to stay relevant militarily, have high standards of living, be a leader economically, and so on.

[My thoughts] I do agree that education is a problem, but I'm not sure if the problem is simply a lack of science, math, or reading skills as is often suggested as the primary education pain points (note: Eric does not suggest this). I believe it's rather a lack of something more fundamental -- a problem with the emergent culture in general that has led to a lack of focus on education in the minds of many youth -- other things have taken priority. Perhaps this economy and unemployment rates will change this? What do you think?
Wait, it's invite-only, but you're doing promo on forums to get invites? No offense intended, but since I only want to be in a club that won't have me as their member, my interest just dropped.

nvidia and fglrx have a string of binary blobs that plug in to each spot on the stack: kernel, X server, GLX. The way they communicate with each other is pretty proprietary and beyond what I know.

Gallium is an interface for doing 3D stuff. It's very generalized and describes a very general, shaderful, batched renderer. "Shaderful" means that the renderer has shaders instead of old-school fixed-function TCL and pixel combiners; "batched" means that the renderer prefers to operate on pre-cooked buffers full of data rather than vertex-at-a-time data.

Gallium matters because it is a much more direct and low-level interface for describing hardware which enables hardware-specific optimizations to be decoupled from API-level logic. We have implemented GL, D3D (not open-source!), VG, X11 (EXA, Xv, XvMC, VDPAU), etc. on top of Gallium, without having to write entirely new backends each time. It makes it easier to write drivers. Gallium's actual interface is also less verbose than user-level APIs, which means the actual drivers are smaller by anywhere from 30-50% LOCs.

‎$5 Trillion is a lot of money even over 10 years.

It's 7 years and 35 days worth of ALL the U.S.A.'s collected taxes. It's ~$25,000 paid by each adult in the U.S.A.

It's $1M every day for the whole of humanity's 5,000,000 year existence.

Strange circular reasoning. Why should taxpayers pay the banks to lend them money at interest?

The Fed has been doing this as a backhanded way of recapitalizing the financial sector (lending money at extremely low rates which banks then pour into liquid but higher-paying investments like Treasuries along with more speculative leveraged plays against the USD).

It isn't hard for players with privileged access to capital to print money in this situation, and this is what makes the exorbitant compensation rankle: if the unstated justification for the money pump is to recapitalize the financial sector the constant hemorrhaging of assets on personnel compensation is parasitic and abusive.

You could ask HR to explain the difference in feedback. Frame it as "I don't understand how my feedback could've changed so drastically. I didn't do anything different, after all."

If the only variable is a change of manager, logically it's kinda a no-brainer what happened.
