So true about what you wrote on feeling gratitude. One of the effects of being hungry is feeling alive. You begin to exist because the drive needs you to get off and eat.

One thing about being hungry is how unpleasant it is. And then how unpleasant something unpleasant is. Then the desire to shake off the unpleasantness. If you stay still, it becomes almost interesting to watch. One fathom long body, the master of the universe, can barely hold 4 hours of food supply.

Humans can survive on a meal a day. Just like most animals. My dog puts on weight on a meal a day. But somehow we have conditioned ourselves, through surrounding ourselves with food beyond what we need.
Well that's me shattered.

The article talks about "Europe" but it does seem to focus on the Eurozone countries, and the Euro is definitely a factor in the current crisis. Otherwise it would not be one crisis, but several separate crises, which could be dealt with separately (e.g. by devaluation of the local currency).

Sweden, for example, does not share the same problems even though it has probably the largest welfare system and highest tax rate as a percentage of GDP in Europe.
Thanks. I've been living a lie for years. :)
That is so very true, I can't tell you how lucky and privileged I feel.

You're right: it really wouldn't be fair and I love it you're challenging me to talk numbers! The thing that motivates me most are users, so i'll pick those as a measure.

Can't say about other countries but the bureaucracy in Portugal is quite high as well.

But the interesting thing is (and it was before my time so I'm taking my parents word for it) most of it was created because of the assumption people will cheat on their taxes if they can, so they added a lot of paperwork and 'silly' taxes to make up for it. Most is unneeded now but remains. Most stores are forced to use certified software they can't tamper with. A lot of purchases are done using credit/debit card so they can't be 'forgotten' in the tax forms, but because there is still the mentality of 'business owner' = 'tax evader/thief' a lot of this bureaucracy remains.

I have two examples that for me are just absurd, but if you start a company, even before you start developing a product or whatever you do, even if you don't take a salary or hire anyone, you are forced to pay social security (about 150 euros) and a chartered accountant per month (about 100 euros) before even having any income on the company. This was introduced so business owners couldn't just try and declare no 'profit' and avoid taxes, but now, it cripples a lot of small business just trying to start or hold on.

SEO Science
This is a classic question asked by people regarding marketing as well, so let’s start from the fact that SEO is a part of Internet Marketing, which is a type of marketing practiced online. For many people who are not involved in the search engine optimization on a regular basis, it is easy, they simply create a website, write some content and get links from as many sources as they can.

They seem to have come with some nice algorithm to connect the graph dots. The problem: When you draw the graph using a naive formula putPixel(x, y(x)) you get isolated dots. Therefore you have to draw tiny lines between the points to get a nice smooth curve instead of isolated dots. But then there is the question of which points to connect – for example in tan(x) you can’t connect the last point on the ‘upper right hand’ with the first one coming from the bottom. This is surprisingly hard to solve simply (at least it was for me). Most packages simply resign – try zooming out a tan(x) to see the erroneous vertical connecting lines. Google does it right even in high zoom ratios. How do they do it?

Why Euro is a current factor of the crisis? Those people saying this are mostly old fashioned monetarists that would like to "pay" out the debt producing money and inflation. Italy 80s. Not sure that is a good idea. Especially, it doesn't solve the problem that is, again, too much spending compared to the income (yes, Europe crisis is as simple as that).

I am not sure about Sweden, but I know Denmark and it's like you say. But in fact the problem is not too much spending, it is too much spending in relation to the income generated by taxes.

I don't know about you but I would never do business with a financial service provider that would essentially decide if I was running "dirty books" by your loose definition and cut off services. The problem is here you have a major problem:

1) You can't prove bad bookkeeping practices without an audit and

2) I am not consenting to an audit if that removes me from 4th Amendment search protections (meaning the auditor can be compelled by the government to turn over info without a warrant, when they'd normally be required to get a warrant to search my business).

No bank I do business with is going to just decide "oh you might not be collecting sales tax, so we are suspending your account and keeping your money for six months." There's no ethical justification for that. I am sorry.
The prerequisite is really "can print their own money AND can borrow, at a scale commensurate with their GDP, in that currency"

The theory goes that a country like US/UK/Japan/etc always has the capability of paying their $/£/¥/etc debts (modulo political idiocy like the US debt ceiling standoff). Of course it might be painful from an inflation standpoint, but that would always be better than a default. Therefore the interest-rate relates to the risk of inflation making the repayment less valuable, not the risk of a literal default.

Since individual eurozone members don't have that privilege, their interest rates are high leading to a potential death spiral (risk of non-payment -> rates go higher -> debt more expensive -> risk is now higher) The theory behind the "eurobond" solution is that since the ECB can print euros it would remove the default risk so in theory interest rates would be limited to inflation risk.

You make a good point about the business climate numbers though. I don't see how a guaranteed-in-common Eurobond is ever going to fly with economies like Greece in the mix. Italy probably has some hope of reform if they want it badly enough, but it would be a big step for them.

I'm wary of the fact that it basically tells us what we want to hear: the only talent that matters are developers, companies who "get" developers will survive and those who don't, won't, no matter from which industry.

That's a little too good to be true, and the bakery example stroke me as very ill-suited.

I enjoyed the article, though, and I wish it were true that clueless incumbents would die rapidly and developers would get infinite leverage.

What I think is true is that developers will get a little more leverage while clueless incumbents will take forever to disappear.

(Edit: in the long run, everyone will be a developer. There will still be good and bad developers, but there won't be non-developers professionals, just like today there are not many people with a job who can't read or write.)

You don't get it. That they were blatantly ripping off someone else's software, and THAT is what gives them the right to label them a rip off.

Everything else is just smoke and mirrors, where the Freshdesk guys are trying to pretend that it is all about name calling, it isn't. Based only on what they themselves say, it is obvious that Freshdesk is a copy of Zendesk.
This is something i don't understand why other mathematical tools do so badly. Have you tried navigating the graph in a matlab plot? You have to select one tool for zoom in and another tool for zoom out and then click the graph to get a huge zoom-step that isn't even centered around where you clicked. Then another tool for moving to the correct position and another to see the values. SERIOUSLY?!!?!!!! This is a super expensive tool designed for plotting and comparing graphs and the diagram-control stinks so bad. Implementing this feature properly is one day of work. Synchronizing dimensions of axis between different diagrams is also something very important that matlab has huge difficulties with. Mathematica isn't much better in this regard even though they at least plot with anti aliasing T_T.

Related is also navigation in maps-software. Not many programs do this right even though it's so simple.
Yes.

A lot of Android's rendering takes place on the CPU and a lot of it is small batches of serial work that isn't very well suited for concurrent execution on multiple cores.
It's not so simple. First, GDP has reflective aspect, so that if you sell me something for $10 and I sell it to Bob for $20, GDP goes up $30. It's a much rougher figure than we expect and if there is a crisis, it may decline rapidly where the debt figure will not.

Secondly and more importantly, not included in that government debt amount are future obligations. For example, in the US, unfunded obligations for government employee retirement and veterans' benefits, Social Security, Medicare and other programs are around $50 trillion. Add that in.

The coming crisis will be a surprise to many. But Thanksgiving is only a black swan to the turkey, not to the butcher.
I'm not so sure that the iOS creators predicted anything. They started off with OS X, which already had a smooth, responsive, GPU backed UI (Cocoa/Quartz Extreme). I don't think that they had to compromise on performance, but they did have to spend extra money on a GPU.

Likewise, a good low latency sound system with MIDI support was added to iOS not because Apple correctly predicted that smartphones and tablets would be popular for music production, but because those were features already present in OSX.

AFAIK, the Android designers started out making a Blackberry clone, and creating a similar software stack would have been a lot more work at a time when the competitors were all running 2D GUIs with no GPU acceleration or fancy animations.

Fasting is most definitely NOT bad for you. You literally fast every night.

Extreme, stupid, idiotic fasting is, however, bad.
I thought about it like you describe - but then why even bother with the generation, why not be able to browse your stylesheets and have them transformed into styleguides realtime: https://github.com/aglemann/instant-styleguide
There are plenty of cases where the sales tax may not apply. For example, if I replace a warranty part, I do so without collecting or remitting sales tax because the transaction had no monetary value. Assuming shipping and handling is not taxable in the jurisdiction, and assuming that the company uses all the money gained for either shipping or purchasing the toys, then even assuming it's taxable it's already covered.

The sales tax is a red herring. The issue is probably one of a computerized algorithm being tripped somewhere.
Most people think that fasting is about not eating and drinking. This is wrong. It is about rethinking the life you live. It could be anything from not eating to stop using internet for a week of so.

So why not call it hacking.
I think the same can be said for 'boring' non-tech industries, like energy, transport, finance, food retail etc. These are essential industries that make the world turn, but because they lack the 'cool' factor they also get the blame for many of the ills in the world. This is while the entertainment industry (film, games, art, music) can shrink by 90% without causing much damage, are often considered less evil or even more important than those who provide the essentials.

I don't think the world has gone mad, I just think it's how the world is perceived from by different age groups. When you are a teenager you think you'll never stop listening to the cool new music when you are older, but when you are older you realise the latest craze is cute but not that relevant.

On a different tangent, every year or two I have a look at what is happening in the open source world in the space that SAP operates in. A few promising things pop up from time to time but never gets much traction, but it does seem to progress a bit over time, slowly. I think the only thing that will move it forward is if universities put some projects behind it in their business and technology courses.
I rather not have the UK as part of the core of Europe. They have a very original idea of what it means to be in the EU. Treaties, policies, this and that for everybody else but I'm going to opt out.

One interesting question will be what impact the re-organization of financial services regulation enforcement has long-term over Paypal. I know I have heard anytime your account is frozen write a letter to the Office of the Comptroller of Currency at the US Treasury Department and CC the CEO of Paypal to get traction........
If short-term technical issues, such as performance problems, are preventing your launch, why not just bring in an experienced developer for a few weeks as a consultant? You wouldn't have to pay them that much, I don't think. It might also be possible to defer payment partially if you are truly cash-strapped.

I don't know if this helps, but for business users, paid, stable, reliable-support, above-board businesses are worth real money. Red Hat makes essentially all their money offering support on a product they themselves make available for free.

Also: your competitor is not copying your content, is he? Is he able to code-up the platform AND pay for content creation on a free product?
I think this is the first Blu-Ray I've seen that has only 720p. On the other hand, 10 hours of content is a lot. Did you consider doing a multidisc release?
Really cool! I'd like to have it automatically expand the range on zoom, though, like Google does. And some numbers on the axes would be nice.

The Pound (GB, rather than Syrian) is doing just fine - almost no-one can borrow as cheaply as the UK can, and inflation is a little too high, but that's factored in to the price. The UK also still maintains an AAA rating, and unlike much of the other European AAAs, isn't on credit watch either. The UK economy isn't growing so well, and we won't have eliminated the structural benefit as soon as they'd have liked, but ain't nothing wrong the Pound.

I'm going to jump right into the idea of fasting for 6 days and the unfortunate reality that most people in our field(s) don't.

1. know how to lose weight (really)
2. know how to eat
3. know how to workout

Here, if you want to try fasting, which I do recommend, give this a shot. http://www.leangains.com/ or do the Warrior diet (one huge meal a day). A 16/8 fast is great. Heck, I sometimes even do an eat-stop-eat way and skip an entire day after I had a cheat day.

If you want to lose weight, it isn't about a crash diet, it most DEFINITELY is not about cardio and will never, ever be about low fat.

Here it is, in a nutshell, to lose weight and maintain decent muscle mass through life.

Eat whole foods in these categories only.
Veggies, organic/grassfed meats (chicken, beef, fish etc), organic eggs. Some fruit (don't go nuts) and, only if you tolerate it, very little dairy.

Some rules: every meal has protein, no exceptions. Fat is your friend. Carbs from veggies and fruit only.

Now, exercise like this:
Hard, very, very hard. And short. Think lifting big weights in a complex manner like squats and deadlifts. If someone says you should be doing front shoulder raises, run.....

And sprint...bike REALLY fast for a short period of time, or jump rope really fast...something intense and short. Kettlebell swings in the 150-250 range would be great.

Do that a couple of days a week (2-3) there are awesome programs out there so don't think too much about this, rather just do it. 5x5 programs, strong lifts, or even the leangains guide has some.

There are awesome ways to get lost in details in all this, but that is like a 10 minute guide that I wish someone gave to me when I was 14. It literally took me this long to unlearn all the damage the high-carb, low-fat movement in the 80s did to us.
Also note that in both the UK and the US, it is the nominally non-political central bank that controls the printing of money, not the government. This tends to give investors more confidence.
Of course you have recourse. It's called "District Court." Unfortunately you have to sue them where the court has jurisdiction, which means hiring a lawyer where they are located.....
Yes I saw the game, and yes I get it. I just don't think there is a massive market for this because attitudes have changed.

My point was that this is what the rejections are telling you too.

If you can look critically at what you're doing, and it seems like it _might_ be an "edge case", you might want to think twice about using Paypal.

Given that in my case, IT services were an "edge case" I would suggest that we can just shorten that to "you might want to think twice about using Paypal."
