You don't need to download the whole of CPAN to install Moose: http://deps.cpantesters.org/?module=Moose&perl=5.16.0...

MongoDB (if that's what you are using?) has a few more dependancies however it actually uses Any::Moose and so could you Mouse instead of Moose: http://deps.cpantesters.org/?module=MongoDB&perl=5.16.0&...

Were you using cpanminus to install your modules? Because its much faster than default cpan command.

I just tested using cpanminus (cpanm) on a vanilla perl install and installing Moose & MongoDB modules took 4 minutes here.

Here's a summary:

Install perl-5.16.0 via perlbrew - under 15 mins
Install cpanminus - 5 secs
cpanm Moose - 2 mins 5 secs (installed 22 distros)
cpanm MongoDB - 1 min 52 secs (installed another 20 distros)

Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I still prefer to use a trackball as well. Particularly the "Microsoft Trackball Explorer", which unfortunately is no longer in production (so I'm treating mine like a prince so it never breaks)
I think the issue is three-fold

1. Baniya style businesses.

Though the startup founders are young and fresh, the overall business environment still reeks age old business patterns. I know few startups who offer no equity, treat employees like 2nd class citizens and want to get rich quick without spending much.

2. A lot of talent is ignored.

Everyone knows that the education system is inadequate for training engineers, but startups seldom train/intern students and bring them on par. There is a lot of latent talent apart from the Engineering graduates. Millions of students graduate as B.Sc.(Science/Maths) but I haven't heard any startup training/hiring them. Outsourcing giants like Cognizant/Infosys however are an exception but they hire, train and turn these non-engineering graduates into maintenance drones.

3. General apathy of students towards startups.

Most of the students just want to earn money to be self sufficient. The easiest way? Follow the patterns of someone successful, mostly a person selected in outsourcing giants. These companies are a modern version of dusty Government offices and many people just log their time and get a paycheck. Art of computer programming is forgotten and everyone wants to be a Manager/Director is 5 years. This sets a wrong example for new guys and hurts the hacker culture.

P.S. Many startups are doing good work (e.g. Infinitely Beta) and many will succeed, but these factors show why hiring is difficult for startups.

You seem to conflate [1 - what I want FB to do with regards to privacy] with [2 - what FB needs to do so I trust they won't steal my money]. The two have nothing to do with each other.

But you probably don't represent the average Facebook user. Most of my non-tech friends share everything - FB knows pretty much everything about them, and certainly for some of the younger ones, FB has become their primary communication platform.

For most of them, paying with Facebook would just be easier than using something else / remembering more details etc etc. And they probably trust FB more than they trust other companies with far less visibility (although most them have used their CC without any thought or concern on a load of different websites).

FWIW and personally, I completely echo your thoughts - although I'm sure I'd end up giving my CC details to FB as soon as a website that I needed to buy from offered no other method to pay than the FB one.

It would be very convenient for someone, somewhere, to establish a widely accepted micropayment system for the Internet.

I sure can just whip out the CC, type in the 16 things, the special code, the expiration date, maybe a second screen the CC vendor presents to get my address or phone number for additional verification...

But I would never bother for a 3 or 5 cent article. And I firmly believe that's why there is no way to pay 3 or 5 cents for a view of something.

But there is a lot of cool stuff we could make or do with this. It should just be easy. Why doesn't it exist? There might be a big business answer that my fellows and myself don't get as we rant over coffee.
For the purposes of most online payments a standard debit card can be used interchangeably with a credit card.
"just" refers to easiness of the alternative route, nothing more. i didn't mean it should be an easy decision.(I am not a native English speaker.) I realize that this is a very painful situation for the family.

regarding your question, there are two different scenarios:

1- my son reaches the necessary neural development stage so that he is conscious, self-aware, interacts with other humans etc. then we can't kill him unless he requests it.

2- he has never reached that stage so he has not any personality, memory etc. then we can kill him. because there is not really a "son" here, not yet.

in fact, we humans continously kill pigs, dolphins and other animals that are more intelligent and conscious than a newborn.

Employees are contractually obliged to pay the employer a certain sum of money if they quit before the contractually agreed period. Usually ranges from 1-3 years and the sum from 2,00,000 - 5,00,000 ($2000 - $9000)

Although, one of my professors in college (I majored in finance) told us that the labour laws in India forbid such contractual obligations and you can get away with not paying the amount asked.

Maximizing a numerical reward signal is definitely not what we're doing when we do an A/B test.

We collect a variety of metrics. When we do an A/B test, we look at a all of them as a way of understanding what effect our change has on user behavior and long-term outcomes.

A particular change may be intended to effect just one metric, but that's in an all-else-equal way. It's not often the case that our changes affect only one metric. And that's great, because that gives us hints as to what our next test should be.
Awesome, that is really helpful!

Outside of the tech echo chamber, selling a profitable business that isn't integrating well with your core direction is pretty common. Jack Welch of GE was famous for selling off any business that wasn't--or couldn't quickly become--#1 or #2 in its market, no matter how much cash it was throwing off.

You're doing well if you're creating new businessses, trying them out, closing the losers, keeping the winners, and selling off the decent-but-not-fabulous rump to other people who can make them even more profitable.

Well, Google is also struggling with Social. It doesn't mean that if Google checkout failed no one else can do anything good.
The second biggest social network in The Netherlands (Hyves) introduced something like this in 2010. They mainly intended it to be used to pay back (small) debts to friends or relatives, but also made partnerships that enabled you to order food online or order drinks at a bar.

As far as I know, it did not really lift off, but this could be because Facebook overtook Hyves as the most popular social network shortly afterwards.

It doesn't look like you've obtained permission to duplicate the design (and you've stripped it of the ®). I like the way it links through to a page which exalts people getting 'good karma'. Indeed.

I also noticed that whilst you linked through to XKCD for using the comic, that's pretty much the bare minimum you can do to satisfy the attribution requirements for his Creative Commons: it'd be better to include a small text link since it's not immediately obvious that the image links through to the source, and if I didn't know that it was XKCD I might think you'd come up with it.
The problem with that is: I haven't said China is a shitty place or a wasteland. I happen to like China, and I happen to love America and live there. It's absolutely in no way about saying China is worse or better, it's about pointing out the ignorance in claiming China is a vastly superior place to live.

I'm willing to be objective about America and China's faults. The problem with the person I'm arguing with, is that that person is not willing to be objective about China's faults, and is more than willing to be biased about America's faults.

In my observation, most first world countries have the same societal problems that America does (or some modest variation), the big difference is whether they're publicized heavily or not. For example, America gets accused of being a highly racist nation: well, how racist is Japan? How about African racism? How about antisemitism in France? How about the Muslim ghettos in France? How about the extreme xenophobia in many nice European nations? Nobody likes to talk about that, and Americans are mostly ignorant of it, but it's all over the BBC's news reports regularly.

And the President is elected every 4 years, and he is right at the center of political life in US.

Pretty cool, but I wonder how effective this becomes under large projects with hundreds of files.

Definitely an interesting idea.
He could try the 'photocopying defense'.

In certain countries the prosecution has a legally responsibility to provide copies of the evidence to the defendant's legal team within a given time frame and bring the case to court within a second time frame. Individual copies of the evidence for the various interested parties must be provided by the prosecution to the defense team (defendant, legal counsel, barrister, etc).

In cases such as these with overwhelming amounts of 'evidence', a surprisingly effective defensive legal tactic, is for the defendant to request as many copies of all of the evidence as viably and legally possible.

It is then almost impossible for the prosecution to both copy the vast amount of evidence (imagine pages and pages of server logs) in triplicate, and bring the case to court within the allotted time. The copying alone is unfeasible.

If anything this tactic can be used to force a plea bargain (lesser charge etc).

A lawyer would have to confirm whether this would work in NZ.
It's a possible but hardly compelling:

Facebook: ~ 1 billion customers

Visa: ~2 billion cards out there.

Facebook: ? merchants.

Visa: > 10 million merchants.

Facebook: potentially disruptive to the existing market

Visa: 50+ years experience with electronics payments processing, fraud detection, government relations and consumer credit marketing

Facebooks main competitive advantage is(was?) relatively cheap capital.

Hello Patient0, I didn't follow closely the issue, but reading the comment http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/language-malbolge-995.html... I formed the following opinion (speculation, since no much "subtitles" are provided): somebody wrote the 99-bottle program in Malbolge, actually doing printf("..."), which isn't that interesting after all. Then Hisashi Iizawa showed up and did the real thing (looping). Pedro Gimeno (the commenter I linked) did some analysis, and is convinced that the program does looping:

The program length is 22561 instructions; its output is 11459 bytes long. The ratio is less than 2 instructions per output byte, clearly insufficient <i>with Malbolge's limitations</i> for a program which simply outputs constant text.

This person also rewrote the program in what he calls "the normalized form", whatever that means (see comment for link to that code).
I think that "be a payment provider" is a much easier thing to think than it is to do.

While it may be easy to build the customer side of the equation you've got to build a vast network of merchants willing to accept payment and that's hard work. Especially if you're trying to convince them to re-price in Facebook Credits?

Sure, you could charge 1% but people have added credits to their Facebook account at some point and it probably cost you more than 1% to allow them to do that. How do people buy credits right now? All those cost Facebook more than 1%, right? I buy $100 of credits, it costs F8 a couple of bucks, I then spend $100 of credits and they recoup $1 of it in merchant fees? Doesn't sound like a good business model.

Beyond the need to create a financial model that makes sense and then go out to find merchants and convince them there's a massive risk of merchant fraud.

Fraudulent merchant X signs up for a F8 Merchant Account. Fraudulent customers A, B, C buy something with stolen credit cards for $100 each. Everyone disappears after merchant X receives settlement. F8 is out of pocket to the tune of the original $300, another $300 in reversals to their bank and then $30-$60 of chargeback fees. If that happens enough then F8 might even have its merchant account revoked... though they're probably big enough to avoid that.

It's an excellent money laundering channel too and there's a lot of financial regulation to navigate around that.

I know that this stuff can be overcome but it is hard to do and would be a major piece of work. This type of thing nearly sank PayPal back in the day.

Perhaps I'm missing the point here though?
You might not trust FB with your CC info but elderly/non tech savy people will. Remember, there is less of us and more of them. Point is to capture a bigger market, which clearly trusts FB with their most intimate details then why not CC?

>The experience requirement is also used to weed out applicants who intend to read one book on the tech/language and learn the rest on the job. In some positions that is appropriate, in others it is not.

I'd go one further and say that almost every position is appropriate for this, it all comes down to the person's willingness and ability to learn quickly. Given the mindset of an average HR drone though, you almost have to fake it. I've found that being a quick learner doesn't mean much of anything when it comes to getting through the process, as it's not something you can readily prove.

Douglas Crockford PayPal Interview Questions
You usually can use a Maestro card online. I think at one point they rolled 2 different cards into the Maestro name which included one for younger people which is supposed not to work online (which would disallow FB payments as well).

In europe certainly most people would seem to have a debit card. Besides I'm assuming at the backend the FB system would require you to enter a debit/credit card.

It would seem very unwise for FB to begin taking down everyone's bank account number as in the case of fraud with a card you can simply cancel the card and get a new number.
Disagree wholeheartedly. Anyone who is bothered by a tweet has the option of blocking that person and never hearing from them on that medium ever again.

That right there is why I'm mostly convinced that the entire concept of "cyber bullying" is silly. When you have complete control over who you do and don't have interaction with, if someone says something untoward and disturbing to you, and you just continue to let it happen, the blame is at least partially on you.

IT staff, engineers among top 10 toughest jobs to fill in US
If their business plan is so simple that they will compromise it by telling you, they don't have a business plan. If they can't identify the small bit of secret sauce (algorithm or research, unique understanding of/access to the market, unique set of competences etc) that will make them successful and thus needs protection, they either don't have it, or they don't understand it. Either case is bad.
Even if there is secret sauce, they should be able to explain their overall business model to the level of a business plan.
