Social unrest is an externality that harms third parties; heck, social unrest (e.g. a new factory bringing increased crime) is one of the classic externalities, along with pollution. The government can of course choose to bear the cost separately, dealing with social unrest via some mixture of policing / welfare state / propaganda, paid for out of normal tax money, but it isn't free.

Which approach is best depends partly on the elasticity in the labor market. China is implicitly betting that demand for Chinese labor is not very elastic, at least if we're talking about wage hikes that aren't orders-of-magnitude, so they can extract some extra money for low-paid workers via a minimum wage, thereby reducing the burden of the government having to do something about those workers separately.

Although it's also quite possible, as one of the other replies suggests, that this has more to do with economic policy, e.g. trying to slow down an overheating economy.

China's minimum wage reduced prices around the world. For some simple products like clothes, other places with lower wages like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Vietnam are already taking over a big part of production. Great. Because eventually their wages will be too high as well.

It's getting off-topic, but being a chef in a restaurant is a different kettle of fish from being a chef in a corporate canteen setting.

I used to work in the latter as a temp kitchen-hand, and most of the chefs there specifically quoted sane hours and working environment in general as reasons for preferring that over a restaurant.

Buying is is easier as you typically know fairly precisely how many mouths you have to feed. If you do end up with too much of something, then there's a stew on the buffet the next day. Said mouths are also less particular. If you arrive at the end of service and the lasagna is a bit dry, you don't send it back, you eat it anyway or pick something else.

Bingo. In the long run, this IPO is going to be as depressing and fruitless as Zynga's games.

What pisses me off is the collateral damage that Zynga has done to other entrepreneurs who will now have a harder time attracting talent and raising capital because of this idiocy. Pincus didn't just fuck over his employees; he fucked a technology startup ecosystem that is, after a decade-long slumber, trying to get on its feet again.

Bangladesh and Pakistan are already huge in clothing. Vietnam is also atracting many producers of cheap/easy to make products. China is moving to mote complex products. That's just how it is supposed to work.
You're both right. Just because "it is how it is" doesn't make something OK, as you say the world is not a nice place, but it also doesn't mean you have to sit down and take it like a cabbage either.

And it's perfectly fine to tell people with questionable moral values to go and fuck themselves. Even though it's not always the most strategically sound way to make sure they get what they got coming in a world that is indeed not a very nice place at all.

Just the fact that Ayers was stylized as a "Google chef" and not by his name is demoralizing. It just gets worse when they speak of his success as something a company should avoid if at all possible.

Last time I checked, Google has multiple high-quality products that users love, and it's not hurting because of the "Google chef". Zynga has... what, exactly? A bunch of shitty games that die (and have to be reinvented) as soon as the novelty wears off.

Who the fuck is Mark Fucking Pincus to decry the "Google chef"? Zynga will never achieve 1/100 of what Google achieved. Pinky should learn from Google, not trash it on no basis whatsoever.

The eyebrow may have been of use when humans had predators who attacked in the rain, or it may have been advantageous to a distant ancestor who lived through a one-off natural disaster: a meteor strike or a volcano. It may also be an effective way to communicate silently when your hands are busy elsewhere, or a vital addition to those who use fire.

The eyebrow might also have never been of any competitive advantage without also being a hindrance in any way.

Evolution is all about the death of children. If a mutation leads to the death of its carrier before they can reproduce then it will be naturally selected out of the gene pool. Anything that isn't removed in this way will still remain.

In a smaller way if a mutation helps a parent (or other relation) to raise more children to adulthood then more copies of the mutation will appear in the gene pool.

All mutations start out without a use. Maybe the advantage that an eyebrow brings has yet to be realised.

No, I don't think so.

I love what I do (my hobby - swing dancing). I do it for 3-5 hours a day (after work). I would improve much faster if I danced less, spent most of the time doing hard work (cleaning my moves, learning more moves, more cardio, ...) and rested more.

Right now I'm always on a tired state, and improving quite well, but finding myself lacking in a lot of ways. When I take a break my improvement is greatly enhanced.
Black Rhinos Are Now Extinct in Western Africa
See for example this: http://www.futurity.org/top-stories/skins-eye-like-receptors...
"Skin is able to detect ultraviolet light by using a receptor previously thought to only exist in the eye."

Having light sensitive cells inside your head (in other places than eyes) obviously sounds ridiculous if you believe in intelligent design. However if you think about evolution and how it works, I would say there is pretty good chance all our cells do not have just the functions they absolutely need to have.
Crime is a classic externality, but it is a separate transaction from paying workers. If I rob you, that's a transaction between me and myself - the third party harmed is you.

That's why forcing criminals to pay for their bad acts is generally considered a good economic policy.

Further, even supposing paying workers a low wage intrinsically causes them to commit crimes, it's still not clear that this is an externality created by the employer. Would the (non)-worker commit fewer crimes if they had no job at all?
France v USA International Friendly Match
I think this is the key. I tried almost all work models (partially remote, full remote, office work and so on) and found that each of then has pros and cons and the secret is to find which one offers you the most pain solvers and which offers the problems you can live with.

Personally I find much more value in not being disturbed all the time and avoid the harassment that work in an office can bring to your life. On the other side, even if it´s harder to do tech work on my own I think I prefer this to having to waste time commuting and get caught in middle of unproductive conversations all the time.

PS: Lots of people talk about the greed on Wall Street but it strikes me that the prospect of riches is causing greed to rear its ugly head in the startup scene too. What's more, people seem to turn a blind eye to it if the perpetrator has been successful. It's disappointing and I think it bodes ill for the entire sector.

Very ill. We'll never know the real numbers, but it wouldn't surprise me if Mark Pincus has done $1+ billion worth of damage to the startup ecosystem. Fewer people will want to work for options/equity because of this story (which has caught on outside of our echo chamber) and the reputation of Silicon Valley's leadership has taken a hit.

On the flip side, this is a great opportunity for Facebook and Google+ to repair their reputations. Drop Zynga. Denounce Pincus. I don't know about Facebook, but the vast majority of Google engineers who have to work with Zynga detest that company, so this move would also be beneficial for internal morale at many companies.
James Bond dictates the Time
It is flatter. Poorer countries are getting richer, richer countries are stagnating, we're moving closer to equality.

The only question is whether richer countries will actually collapse down to a lower level, or if they will just stagnate until the poorer countries catch up.

(Personally, I hope the latter.)

SICP is excellent but I'm not sure if it should be the first touch you have to programming. HTDP might be a little more practical and easy to approach. Maybe for a computer scientist, SICP would be fine but for someone who wants to learn a little bit of coding, SICP is overkill.

Also, SICP's examples are intended for people with strong background in maths, etc (what you can expect from a CS student), like the examples on finding square roots or doing symbolic differentiation. Don't get me wrong, though. I personally like these examples a lot but I'm a pretty hard core CS geek.
> Have you ever actually gotten into a serious fight with someone in public?

Being capable of self-restraint (a trait the author laughably tries to attack Boyle with rather than the childish twits fighting in a restaurant), the answer is emphatically no.

> Which doesn't mean we shouldn't grant it to them. If we would only ever give people what they were legally entitled to, the world would be an awful place.

"Expectation of privacy" isn't just a legal term with specific bounds, it is an exploration of the bounds of privacy that society is prepared to accept. Idiots fighting in public have clearly surrendered their privacy, not just legally, but morally and ethically.

I bet you could get around that by becoming an ISP. Make sure your network offers public IPs that you don't use (possible if your own ISP offers you an IPv6 range), and you're all set.

In France, doing that would require that you log the connections (who connects when with which IP) for a year, but the "who" part can be a mere MAC address. You also have to declare yourself as an ISP.

If you happen to share your own IP, then it's different. In France as well, you can be considered responsible.

I wonder if the chef was hired at typical chef wages, or at "startup" chef wages?
>Should the founder fire the chef?

No, the founder is incompetent and should be fired himself or go out of business. If he gave too much money to positions he doesn't even care about he has no business being responsible for share holders' money.

To be honest here, the fact that you don't find this unethical sends up very large red flags about doing business with you.
9 Geeky Equations You Should (at Least Pretend to) Know
Ask HN: Should I create a file-and-metadata-oriented version control system?
I'm tempted to create a file-and-metadata-oriented version control system, but I first wanted to see if any good ones already exist. Are there any out there already? Or should I create my own? (These questions require a bit of context, so please read ahead and bear with me...)

There already exist many version control systems for managing source code. I've used a couple myself (Subversion and Bazaar) for my programming projects. However, I've also tried using them to keep non-code-related data and projects under version control. Some examples of such data would be a directory full of images, or articles, or e-mail mailboxes (such as Thunderbird's), or a directory on a web hosting account. I've wanted to track much of these files' metadata (timestamps, modes, owners, permissions, etc.) and be able to restore old files AND their metadata when desired. I've tried using Subversion and Bazaar for this, but they don't seem to make it easy to record, version, and/or restore files' metadata (assuming that's even possible with these tools). Furthermore, I'd like to keep directories I track clear of any revision control tools' own data (such as .svn or .bzr directories). (There are other features I'd like such a system to have, but we can cover that later...)

To reiterate, my two questions are:

1) Does such a file-and-metadata-oriented version-control system already exist?

2) (Assuming that the answer to question 1 is "no" or "not a good one"...) Is anyone else interested in such a system? I'd love to create it anyway for my personal use, but I'd be even more motivated if it'd also be useful to others. If so, I'd love to get in touch with potential users, as well as reading the experiences of others who have tried using a source-code-oriented VCS to track general files and directories (especially if they're not fully satisfied with the results).

Thanks in advance.
Not only that, but neither "driven" nor "drove" is a regular past-tense form. That would be "drived", a use I haven't heard from anyone over two years of age.

Convert PDF to HTML, Attach Large Files & Text Extraction from PDF
The latest version of Aspose.Pdf for .NET (6.4.0) has been released. This release includes PDF files conversion into HTML format. Prior to this release, Aspose.Pdf for .NET supported converting images, XML, HTML, SVG, PCL and XSL-FO files into PDF format but not the other way around. With this new feature, one single product provides the capability to convert HTML files into PDF or transform PDF files into HTML format. Moreover it allows users to extract non-English text such as Arabic, Hebrew etc. Users can now specify custom text and image files when adding signatures to PDF document. The product is much faster and more stable compared to earlier releases. This release also improved large files management and users can now add files larger than 1GB as an attachment to PDF files and concatenating large PDF documents with confidence.
