It's sick.

But I keep wondering - why no one in this industry seems to be trying to be good and use it as a marketing advantage? "We do not try to make profits on stealing from you by wasting materials and energy like everyone else out there". I'd definitely try to buy as much as I could from such company.
"But how would you address this cultural issue without some kind of government intervention? Doing nothing but blaming the parents doesn't help much."

I don't understand why whenever this is an issue in society, it becomes something that the government has to go and fix. In the not so distant past, (let's say, at least up until the early 1950s), a number of problems were adressed by private (as in, non-governmental) initiatives (from profit and non-profit organizations, or simply community, family support). Now, we expect government to take care of everything. There seems to be no space for other solutions. Private initiatives seem to have completely disappeared from most people's mindset. This kind of mindset is even pervasive in the economical system where many people now believe it is the role of Government to "stimulate" the Economy. As if, the Economy was a "by-product" of government intervention!

I DO think there are clear limits between government scope and private scope, and in most modern countries this is something that the Constitution usually clarifies. You find that such limits are usually lacking in countries which tend to turn to despotism and dictatorship. When you break these boundaries, you end up (after a while, step by step...) with governments suppressing freedom of speech and telling people how they have to think. That is exactly why there are several Privacy Advocate groups which pay a lot of attention to this kind of issues.

And people will start getting annoyed by the "too nice" driving habits that driverless cars will have to adopt. I'm sure that some passengers will be livid that their car refuses to tailgate people when they're in a hurry. Granted, that could be somewhat alleviated by allowing the car to switch in and out of driverless mode, but that causes new problems.

Holy shit, really? You're really not seeing this? Let's start at the parent[1] and paraphrase.

> OP: <joke about free time>

>> You: I'd rather they do something other than doodles with their time.

>>> Commenter: Oh, but the doodles solve real problems!

>>>> You: Google's doodles perpetuate the image that the CORPORATION I WORK AT is a fun place to be, helping to improve OUR image and attract the right recruits.

Whose image are the doodles improving other than Google's? What is the intended company for recruits that are tickled by a Google Doodle? You say the words "I work at" and "our" in your comment. I resent having to explain this word by word. I now see an alternative explanation, which would be that you're responding to "real problems" instead, but your timing is extraordinarily awkward if that is the case and makes no sense in context.

Obviously, I left that comment with the impression that you work for Google. It was only after I stared at it for fifteen minutes as a result of this discussion that I realized there could be an alternative meaning. You need to be more careful about how you word things.

I've met someone who worked at two large and conservative workplaces where his mission has been to set up an internal Git service (a slow task thanks to an archaic IT) so they can move some of their projects to that. According to him, institutionally this company prefers dealing with large vendors with big support contracts, but there's strong demand for Git coming from developers and contractors. The enterprise world isn't completely segregated, and developers would be coming in contact with Git easily enough, for example through the breadth and depth of GitHub projects.
That sounds like intentional crippling. Apple haven't done that to avoid annoying people, they've done it so you can't make games with sound on the iPhone.

As someone who's worked in and with a lot of Hedge Funds, he's not a Hedge Fund Manager: he's a trader.

What that means in general is that while he's going to be very well paid w.r.t. the rest of society, he's not the guy actually doing the full hedge fund portfolio management, he's a guy executing trades on behalf of that portfolio manager.

The PM is the guy who makes the massive, massive payout, not the trader operating on his instructions.

Google gives money to Mozilla (and to Opera). They basically pay for users using the search. They want to avoid the risk of Microsoft (or anyone else really) paying more than they want to afford. I think Opera had bing as a default search in some of the recent versions. Also, with Chrome they encourage users to search more (instant search) => more ads, more money.

Nitpick--Audiotool is pretty much 100% Flash, except it also seems to load a Java applet to gain MIDI access. It would be mindblowing if it were HTML5. The UI alone (especially all the little details like the correct shadows on the knobs and the wire layout, and the zoomability) would be an incredible accomplishment to draw with HTML and <canvas>. As for the synthesis, I think Audiotool predates the Web Audio API.

The article is actually about Zimbabwe, not South Africa.

I think what he means is that the title is excessively general "Why it's hard to love Google Plus in Africa". It's a bit like writing about the trouble you are having getting a fast Internet connection in Guatemala and then saying "North America" has connectivity issues. Different countries in Africa are very different from each other. It's like generalizing across Cambodia and Japan because they are on the same continent. Big difference...

It's not by working with examples that you make a rule. It is by understanding the underlying logic and principles. It is fairly obvious that unions are self-centered organizations that aim only at benefiting themselves at the expense of the rest of society, as demonstrated by the post you made a parody of.

It is far less obvious to make a similar kind of statement about corporations. Corporations thrive mostly by satisfying customers/consumers/users/wider needs in society. When they stop doing so, they perish and disappear or shrink in a significant way. There are indeed very wrong things about Corporations links with Politicians (clear conflict of interests), patents abuse, etc... but as a whole, Corporations are enablers of innovation and progress in society.

It does not make much sense to try an analogy between corporations and unions.

As a Google employee unaware of any of our lobbying in this matter, I would suggest you ask yourself these questions:

1. Why would Google lobby to produce a unanimous vote, which is not necessary to pass such a law?

2. If Google did so, what would the marginal cost of each superfluously lobbied vote be? Consider that the 37th voter on the fence can ask for a whole lot in such a scenario.

3. Is the marginal cost of lobbying to convince each and every of the 37 voters worth whatever benefit you derived in the first question?

Fair enough, I agree that the author was guilty of the kind of continent-wide generalisations that's always misleading.

I was just a bit confused by the parent post's reference to South Africa, which was a bit off-topic as the author is from Zimbabwe. My assumption was that there were two possible explanations, that the post's author confused South Africa with Southern Africa, or that they considered South Africa to be so much of an outlier in this regard (which it isn't) that the submissions from South Africans weren't relevant. Either explanation would be wrong and worth correcting.

Er... what?

The common ObjC data structures (I assume you're talking about NSArray, NSDictionary, etc.) are not a part of the language. They're a part of Foundation, which is the de-facto standard library of ObjC. Just like the STL is the standard library of C++.

Initializing NSArray, NSDictionary, etc. with data in it has nothing to do with ObjC as a language. Those initializers are merely instance methods on the objects themselves. You could easily do that in C++ by writing a varargs function that initializes the object, something like:

template<class T>
vector<T> *vector_new_with_items(T first_item, ...)
{
vector<T> *v = new vector<T>();
va_list var_args;
T item;

v->push_back(first_item);
va_start(var_args, first_item);
while ((item = va_arg(var_args, T)))
v->push_back(item);
va_end(var_args);

return v;
}

vector<const char *> *v = vector_new_with_items("one", "two", 0);

... or something like that. That's more or less what Foundation does when you do:

NSArray *a = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"one", @"two", nil];

You have to put a lot more on top of that: gitweb, authentication, authorisation, notifications, maybe other kinds of hooks. Granted gitolite supports it, but you have to write a bit of glue.

There's also the option of Gerrit which puts most of this in a single WAR (not gitweb, though as with gitolite the integration is documented), with a code review workflow on top.

SD is my main concern with these hacker boards, I mentioned it in a previous item.
