Thanks for the suggestion, I'm definitely considering some form in independent verification of the Netflix user rating system and was considering a series of icons that would display underneath the program info. The only concern is that I'd want to keep it visually not too busy - there's some visual design considerations that would need to be thought through.

I can't say I'm terribly surprised by this report. Too many things that fall under the "technology" banner get pushed as somehow improving our quality of life by default. Like the existence of some gadget automatically improves things for the owner. Pushing a computer on children who are in many parts of the world learning in a building that is falling apart or has no real educational infrastructure is a waste.
heh. the making out is partly because people here live at home for much longer, and, in the areas where i imagine startup chile people live and work (the idea that having to cook a couple of times a week is unusual made me smile...), there are also maids that live in people's houses (and so have nowhere private for guests).

also "making out" here would be petting, not sex...

food here is not spicy, but it is made with fresh, good quality ingredients (the sandwiches are awesome, imho). and the variety of food you can get in santiago is increasing (when i first arrived here, over a decade ago, there was just one indian restaurant - now my favourite place to eat is russian!)

Ditto for Perl. However Perl uses last instead break.

NB. Since Perl 5.10 it does have continue & break in its given/when (topicalizer) switch block.
I figured it would be obvious enough from what I outlined that the yes/no answers from the tails results gives you a proportion of "yes" answers, such as, say, 20/50, which is the proportion you want. The doubling is just 20/50 = 20*2/100. But I can appreciate that maybe someone else doesn't quite see it! :)
I'm Rimbo's teammate, I'll pitch in my two cents. mercadolibre.cl is your goto classified site, however most people in the program don't use it. There's also olx.cl. For housing homechile.cl is pretty good.

We arranged an apartment through homechile.cl before we got down. Honestly I would only recommend that if you've never really travelled before as the place we ended up getting isn't really the nicest. Most people come down and stay at someone else's place, their padrino's (a local arranged to be your goto person) place, or hotel/hostel it for a while. I'd recommend to take your time once you get here finding a place to stay as there are some amazing apartments that you may miss out on if you search online.

I am going to note that you should come down with at least 10k in your pocket. The first reimbursement is very slow, it usually takes about a month and a half to two months. This is because you first need to get your RUT card (identity card, you use it for everything), then have the program prepare the contract, then sign the contract, then wait for their lawyers to sign it. After that (about 3 weeks) you are officially in the program. For our round we could expense things up to this point however a round 3 wave 2 participant told me that they could NOT expense anything until this point as a rule change. This means all those expenses are out of pocket. The reimbursement phase takes about 2-3 weeks and you will NOT get all of your expenses approved the first time you submit. As an example, we only got about 52% approval. There's a lot of little things you need to do for every expense and it's really hard to keep track of them all.

It slightly irks me they moved from "Linux support is definitely on the table too!" to "a Linux version [...] beyond the scope of the project." But not quite as much as their move to add more technical content when they reach one million, rather than the expansion into GNU+Linux support.

> This is ridiculous. You're saying that anti-landmine orgs should spend their time finding more efficient ways to kill people.

In a sense that this new weapon would obsolete land mines, and thus solve all problems of land mines. I don't see nothing ridiculous about that.

> What if no such alternative exists? Just because it's economically efficient, doesn't mean it's right.

Let us believe that it is not like that, otherwise ultimatly everyone that not uses child labor will die out, all that not uses land mines will lose a war. And no amount of negativity will stop it.
Actually, I was talking about the producer-musician relationship. The producer's goal is more clearly defined than that of the teacher--"help us make money"--and yet you don't see the RIAA sending down standardized tests for musicians.
This sounds like a good plan to hopefully learn something, if you can find someone. I don't know if you will though. How many websites out there have bad copy and the ability to critique you with specific links to what you're doing wrong. If that person knows so much about copy, to be able to identify the problem, google and find a source (or have one bookmarked), then why is their copy bad enough that they need you to fix it?

I don't think you'll have a problem with feedback should you do this. I think you'd have a problem with specific explanations. If you find you have no responses, you may try editing that bit out.

Why yes, yes it was. Mine still works, and is currently playing BBC Radio 4 in the other room. I think I will go get it unlocked.

This is great news from AT&T, but kind of exasperating, since I splashed out $702 for an unlocked iPhone 4S exactly so I could didn't have to pay vastly more money to end up with an iPod Touch / paperweight at the end of a 2-year contract.

I imagine that this scenario, plus the fact that other carriers will do an unlock 'for overseas' (nudge-nudge wink-wink) has driven AT&T into recognizing that they will lose many many customers, unless they start unlocking.

I'm wondering if a good idea for a startup would be to take the Kickstarter model and flip it backwards. Fans propose projects they would like to fund, others fund it, then the respective rights owners see this interest and receive the money for the project.

There is a downside to this, which is the respective author might not be motivated anymore for the project and thus would do a poor job. Or worse, the company owning the rights to the projects, may decide it's not worth selling it back to the original author and therefore create their own version that's not up to par with the author's vision. Perhaps this could be avoided by specifically targeting the original author so that only s/he could receive the funding.

But ultimately, I guess the problem is that if it's proven there's a huge interest in a project, then the current rights owner may be more reluctant to give up the rights or only at a much higher cost.

Ceylan – Kendisi Lazım 2012 Albümü Çıktı
Any complex equipment could have stuff hidden inside it, e.g replace the battery with a brick of explosive. That's why the Israelis commonly ask you to switch computers on in front of them. Putting them in a separate box makes sure there aren't two items superimposed on top of each other in the scanner image, so it's easier to inspect.

If you've never been through Ben Gurion or any Israeli checkpoints, it's a real experience. They are very thorough, sometimes requiring items be disassembled as far as is possible without tools. I don't find it annoying though, it's for everyone's safety and they are very professional. I understand that the main purpose of the checks is to allow them to observe your behaviour and reactions. They know that even with all their check stuff can get through, so they put a strong emphasis on psychological profiling. Honestly, that makes me less upset about the checks themselves. If I have confidence these people really do know what they are doing, and it is effective, then I will put up with the procedure even if it's mainly a ruse. The problem with the TSA is the public isn't confident that the procedures are effective, so if thats the case who wants to put up with the process?

I always thought that too. But, you have a vision for your startup. Not everyone has that same vision.

If they start copying you, it's fine because you will always be one step ahead.

I have found that the vast majority of people have lots of ideas but never want to put the effort into actually completing them.

The ones that do usually have their own ideas and most likely won't be copying you.
On a related note:
It always saddens me when news programs on TV use footage from youtube and don't mention the author but youtube as source.

It's a nice story, but in reality (a) the code would never be delivered and (b) the criteria would be poorly designed so that something other than the desired result would pass the criteria, e.g. you're required to write unit tests and the program has to pass them but the unit tests don't actually need to exercise the features of the program in a meaningful way.
FWIW, it's really worth reading the report itself; the Economist article focused on the lack of miracles and not much else.
Because slaves would have magicked out of slavery due to the passage of time? I'm not sure why you would laugh in their face rather than suggest alternative scenarios where other processes might have eliminated slavery if Lincoln hadn't happened.

I'm not smart enough to understand your comment. Are you saying that free software would have inevitably come to exist with or without Stallman? If you are, I'd say the burden of proof is on you.
You aren't answering the question, be specific. The article says there that "Law is everywhere in schools." Then, it lists some ways teacher-student interaction is regulated. Then, it mentions how DOE mandated scoring reorients what the teacher does.

This isn't conflating. This is showing two different ways the laws (deemed by unelected bureaucrats) affect the culture of the school.

>Right. Similarly, you don't hire a contractor, and ask him to write the spec for whatever he wants to build. He'll just cook up some easy to meet standard and report success when it's met.

This is a faulty analogy. We're not suggesting teachers just do whatever they want.
Thank you, it's clearer now. From what I understand, messaging can also be useful as a way to simplify client/server communication in client-server architectures, correct?

I don't find him threatening, but I find him offensive. The concept of freedom for human beings is an incredibly important one that people have fought and died over, and needs to be protected at all costs, even our own lives. His movement has consciously coopted the word and the emotive properties that go with it for the purpose of something that is orders of magnitude less important, the freedom of software. I would love to put him in a room with a real freedom fighter and have them discuss their causes. "So, I fight for the freedom of programmers to play with source code" "Oh really? I fight for freedom from the people who have enslaved my race, raped my wife and daughter, and have my son in slavery"

I also don't agree with him, and think he's a jerk for calling people like me unethical for writing non-free software (even though I often contribute my time to writing and improving free software, and live my life in a very ethical and honorable fashion), but honestly, if that was the only thing I wouldn't care so much. Like you said, there are loads of people that believe all sorts of kooky things out there, and life is too short to get bent out of shape over things like that. But man, using terms like he does to paint himself in the light he does really really rubs me the wrong way, and the fact people in my industry stand for it pisses me right off.
I wrote the article you're complaining about, which is actually mainly about making hybrid PDFs. I did not see your article, let alone copy it; I would have linked to it if I had. I have been working on that piece for a few months off-and-on and pitched it as a "lightning talk" at FLOSS UK Spring 2012 in Edinburgh beforehand.

More than that, I was a manager of the team that created the hybrid PDF feature in OpenOffice at Sun, and have been advocating avoiding editable attachments for years - the earliest I can find on my blog is http://www.webmink.net/2003/07/feature-creep.htm but I am pretty sure I was advocating it before.

The web is a big place where there are often people working on the same ideas as you (which is why software patents are a travesty), and I recommend avoiding accusing people of incompetence without a little more research.
I think Stallman is also an easy target in that he is the archetype neckbearded geek. He basically represent all the things that non geeks dislike about geeks and people are terrified to be thought of in that way.
Excellent point - I'd noticed that too, but hadn't gotten around to delaying the transition or alternatively placing it elsewhere. I just wrote it down on the todo list. Thanks!
This is a great story, thanks for sharing.

Most of it sounds strangely familiar. It took being kicked out of a startup I started just over a year ago for me to start doing something about my burnout - even though I didn't realize at the time that's what the problem was. Guess life sorted it out for me and forced me to get some rest.

These days, what I do is try to make sure I lock myself away from the internet with a good book every couple of days - preferably in a coffee shop devoted just to this shutting off.

It helps.
This program started in 2007 with children between the ages of 6 and 10 (primary school age). It is a bit too early to dismiss the project as a failure especially on the grounds that motivation and test scores did not go up. These indicators are influenced by many other factors such as teaching quality and poverty levels.
I am still hopeful for the long term effects of these projects and I expect that a fair number of these children will be able to raise themselves out of poverty and even become wealthy on the back of being exposed to a computer early in life. I don't expect this to be fulfilled before they reach adulthood.

Two things have done more than TSA to keep airplanes safe:

1. Hardening cockpit doors and policies that keep travelers away from the cockpit.

2. Travelers fight. Both the Shoe Bomber and the Underwear Bomber were discovered and foiled by travelers who have learned that resistance is the difference between life and death.

Frankly, TSA could be replaced by private security firms today and air security would not significantly change.

"Another one haven’t fully recovered still over five years later. Take care"

Just curious, what happened to that person? Recurring panic attacks or permanent psychological damage?
We can’t possibly be reading the same thing. The post I linked explains that because there is deadwood that never gets hired but applies for every single programming job, every time you advertise for a programmer, you get two hundred applicants, one of whom is decent and 199 are the same 199 that apply for every job.

Therefore, 1/2 of one percent of the applicants for every programming job are qualified and the rest are not. That doesn’t mean that 1/2 of one percent of working programmers are qualified or that you are being especially picky when you reject so many candidates, just that the dynamics of the market ensure that you get a lot of crap resumes when you advertise.

Now, what did YOU think Joel’s article said?
I wouldn't say this is part of an intentional standardisation effort, but we worked closely with the Cordova team on this.

If other projects want to co-ordinate with us, I would welcome that.
>Pushing a computer on children who are in many parts of the world learning in a building that is falling apart or has no real educational infrastructure is a waste.

This is one instance of a particular project that didn't pan out well - now we can generalize to all technology ?

Anecdotal evidence - my 16 years younger brother learned to read/type and speak/write broken English (it's not our first language) by the age of 4, simply by playing along with his 14 year old brother - playing GameCube and using the computer with him or on his own. He even learned how to use powerpoint to create "games" ie. slideshow where you click on various things and then it transitions to a different slide to make it appear like it moved. At one point I had to forbid him to use the internet because he figured out how to register and write on forums for some Mario clone development site where he was downloading sprites for his powerpoint games, he was writing them tutorials on how he used their editor - which was both funny, amazing and scary - but it also shows you the his skill level, he was 6 when he did this/not in school. Again - nobody was actively teaching him anything, so unless you're suggesting that my brother is some sort of genius (which he isn't, he is smart but not a miracle child) or that my other brother is some sort of prodigy teacher I would say that acquiring those skills before school age is pretty impressive and largely due to technology.
> I felt as though the harder I tried to get work done, the harder it became to actually do it. Even thinking about work brought on a sense of dread. It wasn't the fault of my company, or even the job I was doing. I had to deal with a lot of illness and death in my family this year (...)

Spot on. I had a milder episode of stress in 2008, where economic troubles combined with a very well paying job during a limited time. Naturally, I wanted to work as much as possible while the getting was good.
Hm, so one of their top sellers, "Head First Design Patters" is categorized as a "Java Language book" because the code examples are in Java. And then Java is declared the most popular language by overall book sales.

Is it still the top language when one does not include books in which the examples happen to be in Java, but which are obviously not really primarily about the language and are of use to users of other languages as well? That question can not be answered with the information presented in the article.
