>What kind of Americans? Say they are a Sioux-Polish American from Chicago and an Irish-Mexican-Mongolian American from Houston, then yeah, why not call the kid Chinese.

It's still American.

(At least to us Europeans) what matters is the culture of the parents/kid, not the nationality or the ethnicity itself.

A 3rd generation Irish-American is an American, not an Irish, and a 3rd generation Chinese-American is by all means an American too.

Many people find those patterns help them understand the code. I often see terrible bespoke code, where half the problems could fixed using a design pattern where those problems have already been considered.

It works both way, there are many acceptable times to use a design pattern, and many non-acceptable times.

This is great news - some really simple interventions make dramatic reductions in death rates. Things like "soap and hot water to wash hands" or "boil the stones used to cut the cord" have made a big difference.

Still, there's always more that can be done.

> The maternal mortality ratio in Ethiopia is 676 for every 100,000 births. This compares to an average of 290 per 100,000 births in developing countries, and 14 per 100,000 in developed countries,

And when you've prevented children dying in childbirth you need to ensure distribution of micronutirents.

Diarrhoea is the second biggest killer of children. A cheap course of Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) costs about $0.50 us cents; this could save about three quarters of the 1.5 million deaths each year.

Recognising the weird fact that coca-cola gets everywhere while ORS doesn't, an aid worker decided to use the powerful distribution networks of commercial companies to distribute ORS.

(http://www.irinnews.org/Report/94996/GLOBAL-Follow-the-fizz-...)

He's not doing this through charity or subsidy. He's found a neat gap.

> Almost 30 years after British aid worker Simon Berry first pondered the Coca-Cola conundrum while working in Zambia, he is about to turn the puzzle into an opportunity he hopes will drastically reduce child mortality by adopting some of these strategies. And he wants to do so through commerce, rather than charity, or even, in the long term, through subsidy.

> Berry has isolated a gap in the market, literally in the spaces between crated Coca-Cola bottles trucked and biked to villages all over the developing world.

The article assumes that both companies produce 130 tablets per worker per month. Is this valid? I would assume that Samsung would be more efficient, if only because their higher labor costs give them a greater incentive.
Zimbabwe was a net producer of food and breadbasket of Africa, because the entire black population were pretty much 'slaves' of the white farmers.Its easy to be successful when you don't have to worry about the cost of labor, or even providing decent working conditions.
The government pretty much had to worry about providing services only to the white people (a small fraction of the entire population) , so in effect there was plenty for everyone. You may want to ask the black inhabitants of Zimbabwe if they are pining for the old days when they were considered less than human.
I don't much care for the "help Africa" movement, but please do some basic fact checking before you go on your next ignorant rant.

Samsung doesn't have to move plants to China to benefit from the lower wages, they can simply contract Foxconn to assemble the devices. And they do, according to this NYT article:

How Samsung G3 Wireless Charging Works
In production environments you buy special frames for that method.

You can also get "cropping plates" and "cropping machines". A cropping plate is a sheet of steel with holes drilled for all through-hole component leads. You place a few PCBs on it, then stuff all components. You then place the plate on the cropping machine, which has "drop down pins" to hold the components in place and sliding blades under the plate which scrape / cut the leads off. You then take the PCBs off the plate and put them through a wave solder machine.

One potential problem with tacking topside (and this is more theoretical than real) - sometimes the through hole plating is cracked. On a multilayer PCB this may mean that you don't have proper connection between all layers. If you only solder from the bottom of the board you can see if the solder has correctly flowed. Some high-spec jobs will forbid soldering on the topside. (Aerospace, etc.)

Often, if you're giving your address to some site WeSendSpam.com, you can just add a label to your email address as such:

youraddress+wesendspam@domain.com

With some mail providers (GMail), the email goes to youraddress@domain.com, but the "to" field will be youraddress+wesendspam@domain.com. So, if ever WeSendSpam actually starts sending spam, you can just create a filter that dumps all emails sent to that label directly to the trash!

edit: just tested it with Hotmail, works too.

I couldn't imagine doing 0402 by hand. For people who don't know, 0402 is 1.0 mm x 0.5 mm (0.039 in × 0.020 in).

Using an oven to solder is nice because it's mostly self-correcting. The melting solder pulls itself to the shape of the pads and also pulls the components into correct placement. (With a bit of luck).

Hand soldering SMD components wasn't ever one of my skills. (And my through hole soldering was, if I say so myself, pretty good.)

If I worked for years on my business, married a woman, and then she cheated on me and now gets half due to the divorce. It wouldn't really be the money that bothers me. It would be that that this despicable person gets half of my stuff.

As somebody who sometimes cycles on the road even though there is a bicycle path and gets honked at by assholes like you, there are usually many different reasons why a bicycle isn't using the bicycle path.

Here are some of them:

- it's actually not a bike path. It looks like a bike path, but if it doesn't have a yellow stripe down the middle and isn't signed, it's a sidewalk, and it's illegal and probably dangerous to cycle on it.

- the speed limit on the path is 20 km/h, and I'm going 30.

- it's a mixed use path, frequented by toddlers who are very unpredictable and sometimes hard to avoid when going at high speed. I'd rather deal with assholes on the road than endanger toddlers.

- it's a mixed use path, frequented by people walking dogs. They're dangerous because dogs can veer suddenly, and that leash can snare a bicycle very easily

- it has poor road crossings. Most "recreational" bicycle paths in North American cities are much more dangerous for cyclists than riding on the road is, even though they seem safer. Why? 90-95% of all bicycle fatalities happen at intersections. The bicycle path still has to cross roads, and they generally do so either by merging with the sidewalk or by setting up a crossing a few yards away from the intersection. Some drivers do not slow down or look until they reach the intersection proper. To cross safely you have to slow down to walking pace and be hyper-vigilant like a jaywalker. The safest place in an intersection is as close to the centre as you can get, where you are visible to everybody.

- it has lots of curves and lots of close trees. Which means that visibility around curves is very poor, so it's not safe. It was designed for pedestrians, not cyclists.

- it doesn't actually go where I want to go. This is more common than you think: just because it parallels your road now, doesn't mean it will later

- I don't know where I'm going. Bike paths are very random, and often aren't marked on maps. If I'm following a map designed for cars, I have no choice but to use your road.

In summary, most so-called "bike paths" in North America are really just repurposed walking paths, and are unsafe and slow. Cyclists should be on the road.
I disagree. I detest coffee shops for trying to get any work done for a couple reasons. First, no matter how hard I try, noise always seems to seep in through my headphones, and second, it's too dynamic of an environment for me- people walking around and moving is distracting for me.

The best working environment I ever had was when I was in college- the top floor of our library was a big study room with individual cubicles, and it was absolutely silent. It was the one place I could really zone out and get work done because once I was firmly planted in a cubicle, I could focus solely on the task in front of me.

I was interested to learn that pink noise specifically blocks speech. I use one all the time, and I'd really like to see the difference in an office environment with one on and off.
I think the commonality is that all 3 professions would get paid for updates the clients requested, but mistakes made by the professional would have to get covered.

Updates: Additional photography sittings, design modifications, bug fixes.

Mistakes: Lost data, work that is later found to not meet the spec.

But in the end, it all comes down to how you want to run your business. If you charge the customer for whatever extra you're doing, what's going to be the result of this? Are you going to chase them off? Get a bad recommendation? Is there no harm at all?

Depending on that outcome and what you want, you can probably find the answer as to whether you should cover it or not.

> "South Korea actually has a rather high income per capita — $24,000 — and the average monthly salary for a factory worker is $2000 per month."

South Korea is an economic miracle. Back in 1985 I ran out of money half-way through college and enlisted in the US Army for the college fund (plus they repaid my existing student loans, which was a nice deal). I got stationed in S. Korea and became friends with a number of KATUSA soldiers. KATUSA stood for Korean Augmentation to the US Army, and was mostly college students fulfilling their service requirement.

Quite a few of my KATUSA friends were engineering students like myself. They told me that the average starting salary for an engineer was $400 / month. So when I see that 25 years later, the average factory worker is making 5 times that amount, it's truly stunning.

As a side note, when I was there, most of the cars on the road were new. It wasn't because everyone could afford to ditch their old cars and buy new ones. It was because prior to that period, not many people could to afford to buy any car, so there simply weren't many old ones.

And their products were crap. Buy a TV, VCR, or other electronic device, and they often failed out of the box. Pop open the hood of a Korean car and you half expected to see a squirrel on a tread mill. But they keep plugging away, improving quality, and growing their markets. Today, I buy Korean products with confidence.

People talks about the rise of China, but to me, with factory salaries at $2000/month, South Korea is the more impressive success story in the developing world.
