The differences are that homebrew installs to /usr/local by default, doesn't keep track of package versions, and doesn't install its own versions of libraries that come with OS X (and therefore might be screwed up by an OS update). These are all Really Bad Ideas, which make homebrew technically inferior to macports, and less stable. However, they also make homebrew really simple, so it's much quicker and less cumbersome to use. Almost the definition of quick-and-dirty.

Looking through your post history and for your previous account, it looks like over half of your posts concern Apple with the vast majority of them having a negative slant. If people are moderating you down (I haven't) it's probably because they either disagree with your arguments or doubt your sincerity. Unless you're trying to argue that reality has an anti-Apple bias.

Note that I personally would classify myself as having a somewhat pro-Apple mindset, but I see plenty on HN who are very clearly pro Google/Android. No such monoculture exists.
To put it really simplistically : From the perspective of everything within India - PPP is what matters; because it takes into consideration the cost of living. But from the perspective of everything outside India - the absolute figure is what matters.

Please clarify. Am I allowed to statically link GPL code with closed-source code and distribute resulting collective work in binary form? Am I allowed to dynamically link GPL code with closed-source code and distribute resulting collective work in binary form?

If the answer for the second question is "yes", what's the difference between GPL and LGPL then?

No, it wouldn't. With AJAX, the request always goes out, and is received and processed by the server if they choose to (most never check the request origin).

Then, the server can decide whether or not to attach cross origin resource sharing headers to the response. If those headers exist, the response is exposed to JavaScript. If not, they are swallowed by the browser.

One of the greatest hallmarks of the enterprise is ensuring that nobody within their organization is replaceable. They standardize on languages like Java because of its prevalence in the marketplace, they document the dickens out of every task, no matter how small or inconsequential, they ensure that everybody and everything within their company is a commodity.

This enables them to worry about things like dress code with impunity, as they're relatively free to hire and fire without having to worry about who is going to manage that system that only they knew about.

Then they wonder why they aren't able to deliver exceptional or world-class service.

It's going to apply to anything that has a probability distribution that is monotonically decreasing at any rate, exponential or not.

This is pretty obvious: the probability of the number 1 will be greater than the number 2, and so on up to 9.

The probability of the range 10-19 will be greater than the range 20-29, and so on.

The probability of the range 100-199 will be greater than the range 200-299, and so on.

And so on... The probability of the ranges starting with "1" will always be higher.

Also, I have no idea why anyone would think this is "arcane". It's very simple and obvious and a good example of where intuition can go wrong.

PPP is only relevant if your typical purchase is similar to that of the basket of goods used to calculate PPP. An iPod or a Toyota will still cost the same - irrespective of PPP - since they are global goods.

Linux Review: Mandriva 2011
I am a contractor at HP in Roseville. While we are not associated with the WebOS team, there have been talks here about layoffs. I work on the HP Networking/Procurve team. We have been told that our team is being integrated with HPIT, but the problem with that is the HPIT team is on the east coast, so that means the chances of even the employees keeping their jobs is slim. All of us contractors have been warned that our contract will most likely end at the end of October. While I don't know for sure, I would guess that the WebOS team will be folded into some other HPIT team if they are willing to relocate.

You're making sense, I just fail to see a way to follow your advice right now.

According to the article that is impossible.
I'm really confused by some of the comments in this thread. People think the comedian - you know, the one telling the joke - is somehow supposed to be the entrepreneur. (edit: and now, thanks to a response to this comment, I realise that the author of the blog post thinks so too.)

He's not.

The person representing the entrepreneur in this parable is the show host, or the audience. The comedian is playing the role of the potential customer.

The lesson is to listen to the customer, because sometimes there's a huge payoff that can't be obtained in any other way.

That's the lesson I took away from this - anything else doesn't seem to make sense, but if you have a different opinion, I'm listening.

Edit - so I took away a completely different lesson.

I've filed my FBAR's (my wife calls them f(u)bars, I can't argue). Unfortunately, the rules for money abroad fill books. If you're an American with money abroad, you're probably unknowingly violating a list of federal laws as long as your arm.

Many contires have reciprocal tax agreements with the US so that income taxed by your host nation isn't taxed again by the IRS. It may just be a matter of paperwork for the authors of this blog to demonstrate that they've been paying Canadian taxes.

It is very difficult to stop being an American and getting harder all the time. Its like a giant invisible curtain... (like its made of iron or something, heh) Not to keep you from leaving, but to make sure your money can't.

I think you're being a bit misleading there: if you live in Canada or the UK you'll get the protection and support of their consulates and government whilst abroad, and you won't have to pay taxes on your earnings (if you're a genuine expat, rather than short-term travel).

I used to work in the Middle East in a western compound, and this was a huge bug-bear between the US citizens and the EU/Canadian ones. Under the US's system you could leave the US as a baby, never take advantage of any of the services provided by the US, and still be expected to pay taxes on your foreign earnings in perpetuity.

I understand that they want to control the proliferation of 3.0 devices.

The stated reason was that 3.0 code was somewhere between broken and terrible on phone form factors. That's a much more understandable motivation for keeping things closed, both from a developer not wanting to embarrass yourself and as a platform builder not wanting to give the over-enthusiastic (or their customers) a bad experience of Android.

I've not actually heard of a single device maker that was denied access to Honeycomb, they were just given access in a non-open source manner, one that presumably involved signing a contract that prevents them using it on phones.

Not that I really want to be defending Google, I'm keen to see what happens when ICS is fully open and am disappointed that Honeycomb hasn't been released (yet). But "open" has become a battleground between Apple and Google and the quality of discourse has plummeted as a result of the ensuing misinformation an partisan sniping.

I find it bizarre that so many pixels are wasted examining exactly how open source Android is when the iPhone platform briefly made it acceptable for you not to be able to install apps on your own smartphone. A feature (or "freedom") that's been taken for granted since the devices were invented.
YUMI is OK if you spend the time to download the distros ahead of time and store them all on your USB key. NetBoot is good if you want to get a distro you haven't downloaded yet. That way you have a lot more distros available than can fit on your thumb drive. The downside is that you have to download them every time you install them.

As it clearly says in the third last paragraph linked article, they won't "let" you do this if you owe taxes.

Indeed the page you linked confirms this in the bottom section entitled "Expatriation After June 16, 2008" that renouncing your citizenship at the present date will make you immediately liable to pay "income tax on the net unrealized gain in your property as if the property had been sold for its fair market value" if you earn more than $145k, are worth more than $2mil, or -most importantly- you have failed to pay the IRS in any of the 5 previous years. So it's not a solution for these American-born-Canadians that were not aware until now that they were required to pay tax in the US.

It's simple, both SVG and CSS are totally different things, and it's kinda silly to compare them (don't consider my previous comment ^^).

The article simply goes from "Hey, CSS3 gradients are crap" to "look how awesome is SVG at things". Blah and bleh.

I'd sugest to check the wikipedia page or proper documentation for both of those two, you'll get a better definition than I can give.

Cheerio.
In a sense, you are correct. They must have known of the option to renounce, yet never took it, no doubt taking advantage of the laws and protections afforded by both countries as it suited them. However, the fact that this has happened now is shocking for many.
You're right. After going back and re-reading, that's what the author of the article is saying. So now I simply think he's got a really bad example, and is drawing the wrong lesson.

There are several lessons to learn, and to my way of thinking, it's all completely screwed, and I've learned something else.

Above all - be clear.
That's a very good point. One way to circumvent this problem is to combine hashing and crit-bit trees,
by constructing an unordered tree on the hash values of the set elements. The nice thing here is that if the
hash function behaves like a uniform random variable the resulting tree will be balanced. Furthermore,
without ordering the implementation is trivial.

At the same time you will not need rehashing once the table "fills up" and since you use don't discard
bits from the hash function the expected number of collisions after inserting n elements with a 32 bit hash
is n / 2^32 - or 0 for reasonable values of n.

Additionally you can use clustering (e.g. build a crit-nibble tree, with 16 pointers per node - one 64 byte cache line)
to reduce the number of cache misses. This can backfire spectacularly unless the data is essentially random,
so the hashing step remains important.

It may not be a silver bullet, but there are some interesting trade-offs.
Are you sure you have enough data to make 1) a fact ?

I doubt that anyone but very, very few, writes resumes in TeX. LaTeX, yes some. TeX ? Nah.

Someone in command of LaTeX, can make a CV look essentially like whatever they want, so 1) is perhaps not as "usually" as you think.

Regarding 2), what, if anything, do you conclude about an applicant's level of geekiness if you believe you have identified their resume as having been written in Word ?

If you really use this strategy and you are a hiring manager in an area related to technology or computing/programming, someone should seriously consider if it is to their advantage having you involved in the hiring process.
Where did you get THAT notion of the Tea Party? We're not saying "don't pay the rent and stop feeding the kids", we're saying "move into a smaller apartment that we can actually afford AND can afford to feed everyone AND save enough to pay off the massive credit card bill".

[EDIT per responses: sometimes you have to threaten to stop paying the bills in order to persuade others to, in fact, move into the smaller apartment and stop swiping the credit card as if it costs nothing. It's called "brinksmanship", based on the premise "either we stop spending so d@mned much now by choice or we're going to have, in fact, nothing to spend later"; a rhetorical device both sides use.]

It's nice that they made sure the data set contained the key data to their collapse. The pensions of retirees. Would the results have been the same if it weren't included? I don't have access to the paper but I'd be curious what their justification for their choice was.

Among other things, they looked at the total level of debt, the cash reserves of the government and the pensions of retired civil servants.
I'm not sure what it means to be a large economy anymore. If you roam around any of the cities in India, you see nothing but a third world nation, with rampant poverty and horrific infrastructure. And of course in the villages, it's even worse.
And businesses apparently have had difficulty dealing with the corruption in the Indian government.

The country has such a long way to go before it can stand on the same footing as the US or even some of the European countries whose economies it is supposedly surpassing.
How are you defining 'productive capital'? It's not a term I hear used in the economic community...at least not in the context you're using it.
my mistake it wasn't oss, it was the last version before BitTorrent began bundling it into installers.
This issue periodically makes the rounds in expatriate communities, and I think panicked blog posts outnumber actual enforcement actions by about 10,000 to 1. Anecdotally, most Americans living abroad are probably non-compliant on this one. They're not going to suddenly decide to break the kneecaps of a couple million people, for the same reason that they don't audit every $50k per year small business' office expenses every single year. They'd end up hated and not meaningfully boost revenue.

All bets are off if you have signatory authority on a $30 million dollar account in the Caymans and have forgotten to report interest for the last 10 years running.

P.S. Orthogonal to the disclosure of accounts issue but worth mentioning since folks often commingle them: If you're an American living abroad, you should file your taxes every year whether you think you need to or not. Same for Americans in the US, by the way. The statute of limitations on unfiled taxes is essentially infinite, but the window to audit a return is only six years, so if you just file a 1040 with a zero on it every year and 20 years from now the IRS decides to get frisky, you're covered for all but the last 6 years automatically.
