In terms of startups, Pakistan is being let down by the banking bureaucracy. Paypal doesn't work in Pakistan, and there is no official explanation of why it is so. Lacking a mode of easy/ secure online payments, startups are kind of dead in Pakistan at this time.

No, the font can be used in any way inside the app, such as rendering a text box where the user would enter their own text. What's not allowed is the redistribution of the font outside the app. e.g. If your app generated CSS for users to paste into their own sites, then including the font as a @fontface hosted on your server, or as a data-url would not be allowed.

> I wouldn't ever go to a Muslim country because some rich dude said it's quite alright.

Wow, I'm amazed that this comment can take top spot on HN. How does this even happen? There are plenty of 'muslim countries' that are perfectly fine. Jordan, Turkey, Morocco, Dubai and Oman strike me as immediately safe 'muslim' places to go to. Millions of tourists go to these places every year and are fine.

The problems in Pakistan are not about whether or not it's a "muslim country" as you put it. The problems are based on what is societally and culturally acceptable which is a progression of traditions and norms, not Islam itself.

Let me put it this way, try swapping Muslim out for Jewish and re-read that statement, or Muslim for Christian. How do you think a muslim Pakistani would feel dressed normally for Pakistan in the bible belt of the US? Does that mean that they shouldn't go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans?

I'd hoped to see more discussion on the specifics in HN rather than sweeping statements with an undercurrent of racism.
The problem in the UK, which is caused by the government, is that there are several points where people end up with less money overall (including housing benefit, and childcare) if they earn more money / work more hours.

While you can argue about 'deserving', it is the government's fault that they have set up a system which encourages people not to work.

Unforuntatly, the current attempts to fix this are (in my opinion) just creating a more confusing system where it is easier to get trapped or confused.

Using "reward" or say supervised training is easier and (near certainly) often gives better result, but unsupervised is more interesting as a research result, it tells that we can actually extract very high level information from data itself, using some "obvious" rules (such as linearly mix adjacent pixels and give as sparse-"laplace distribution like" results as possible). It is important because it proves that we may simulate brain functionality without knowing exact structure of brain (as we know brain is complex), but by analysis the data it processes using lots of simple structure instead.

Exactly. For all it's worth, once I started reading John le Carré or Raymond Chandler novels in original English (I'm a native Romanian speaker) I could never go back to reading them in translation, not that the translations were bad, they weren't, but the texts just didn't have the same feeling.

And when you start reading (and partially comprehending) poetry written in a foreign language is a whole different ball-game.

I think if there's any problem here it was with the way it was put. I don't think anyone would have had a problem if Chase had said, "We're terminating our relationship with you because of your blog's content," but the idea of them suggesting he change to maintain the relationship seems to have struck a chord. Perhaps it would have been better to leave that possibility implicit, but... The more I think about it, the more I think this blogger is drumming the issue up to generate traffic to make up for his loss of revenue.

I think you're doing it wrong. I quit working for a company about a year ago and am on course to make 2.5x what I made last year.

A small business should never be run in such a way that the employees are making more than the owner. How would any business work that way?

People typically pay a premium for a temporary service rather than employing someone full time. That is how you make money. It is why I pay a plumber a crap ton when my pipes break because it is still cheaper than employing one full time.

What business are you in that causes you to make a third of what you would make as an employee doing the same thing?
So you dismiss a bunch of valid breaking changes because you weren't affected by them and then cite one you know about.

This probably falls under "nominative fair use", where use of a trademark to simply refer to a product is allowed.

From a copyright perspective, one might also argue that their conversion into a font is "transformative", but that's a much more subjective issue.

English language is very bad for nuances.
With regards to consistency, aside from the fact that I don't think its easy or necessary to compare how functions deal with arguments to how syntax operators etc. deal with values, the situation prior to this change was that there was no consistency even within core functions themselves, before you even start to consider the rest of the language. This could have been resolved by changing all the other functions rather than these few, but that would have messed up a lot more userland code than this change did. I think it was the most pragmatic way of dealing with the issue.

With regards to the documentation, I'll concede that it could have been better. The previous behaviour was undefined and completely undocumented, so I think there are lessons for both "sides", 1) for the PHP team : fully document all changes, even to previously undefined/undocumented cases 2) for the users : don't implement functions in ways that are not documented (and/or santize input/validate output from functions used in such ways).

Also I don't think its strictly correct to say that strings "are compatible" with floats in PHP, rather that in most (but not all) cases strings will be treated/parsed down as floats.

I've thought about this a lot jwdunne hits the problem on the head, most developers build sites for companies - not themselves - and those companies want increased revenues, users, etc. which is all lost if you just ignore people using old browsers. What I think might work, would be a simple snippet that developers could implement on their personal sites that refused to display the content to old crappy browsers. Personally, If I could I would just have chrome as the only browser anyone could use... but that's just dreaming.
British Pakistani here.

Schmidt has not seen Pakistan for what it really is - a cesspool of corruption and poorly educated people.

Pakistan has two major problems. Primarily, education of the people ... what good is a democracy if people cannot understand the democratic system - nor see past the public visage and look deeply into what kind of person a political candidate is.

This poor education leads Zardari (a corrupt politician who has ties to the murder of Murtaza Bhutto) only coming to power due to a three way effect of a sympathy vote (assassination of Benazir Bhutto), bribery and threats to people who work on his land (he is one of the largest land owners in Sindh). Nowhere else in the world would a criminal become the president of a nation.

The secondary problem is ALL the corruption from the upper levels of politics, to the police itself. If you're caught speeding in Pakistan, simply apologise to the officer who has caught you and slip him a few hundred rupees.

Want to get out of the airport faster by not having your bags security checked? Slip 500 rupees to the security officer.

Are you the prime minister of the country being investigated for money laundering? Make the lives hell for judges and lawyers.

Fix the education problem and everything else will fall into place and this is something that I truly hope that PTI will do, should they on the unlikely chance get into power (I say unlikely as I envisage that the PPP will somehow manage to bullshit their way through another election).

A lot of these emirates are guilty of encouraging human trafficking to allow supply of cheap labour. When your rich american/european visits the UAE, he doesn't see the human rights violations going on right around him - partly because his environment is sanitized of ill treatment of labour from poorer countries and partly because he chooses not to see. Should we all just shut up about the UAE's behaviour then?

The reason turkey, morocco etc are better behaved are because they're dependent on EU for economic support. I didn't mean to go muslim bashing with my comment but as you can see, they're easy to classify in this fashion. I wouldn't go to China either for the same reason I wouldn't go to a muslim country.
Who invented the full stop?
I will give you the reason, I tire of them incessantly telling other people public schools are well and fine for other people's children but they find all sorts of reasons to prevent their children from attending.

So, they need to sleep in the bed they make. If they don't offer parents the choice of what schools to send their kids too on the basis that their schools are perfectly fine then why don't they stand behind their words and send their own kids there.

Yes I support vouchers, I think schools should have to compete for the money. The money needs to follow the student, not the school. In the nearly forty years we have had a Department of Education the only thing that has gone up is the cost per pupil, scores certainly have not.

That's an interesting discussion, but this experiment suggests exactly the opposite (perhaps that's why you included the discussion). Who knows, if we put 1 billion cores together, and fed it a massive amount of data (akin to what a baby receives as he/she matures), perhaps we would get a brain we would consider "intelligent". The fact that this system was able to pick out high-level features like "face" and "cat" without any prior training -- and with only 1000 cores, not 1 billion -- is quite suggestive that they're on to something.

EDIT: Mistyped number of cores. 1000, not 100.

> The reason turkey, morocco etc are better behaved are because they're dependent on EU for economic support.

It's clear you've never been to Turkey. Turkey's outpaced the EU for economic growth for years and effectively dodged an economic bullet by not joining the EU. It may benefit by not being in the Euro, but loses out on tariffs and taxes. If you walk around Levent in Istanbul you'll see the real money's coming from China, Russia and the Middle East, not Europe.

3) He said they changed hosts and very few hosts offer old versions of PHP.

I don't know if that's correct, but that's what was used as an excuse.
> This could have been resolved by changing all the other functions rather than these few

What "these few"? As far as I know there is no list of the functions impacted by the change, how do you define that there's just a few versus not just a few of others?

> but that would have messed up a lot more userland code than this change did.

Because ponies? Where does that arbitrary and unsupported assertion come from exactly?

> I think it was the most pragmatic way of dealing with the issue.

Why? And why was it an issue in the first place?

> The previous behaviour was undefined and completely undocumented

The previous behavior was implementation-defined (as pretty much all of PHP is) and had been stable for a decade. And as I noted above, it was also coherent with userland behavior of PHP when dealing with strings in numerical contexts.

> Also I don't think its strictly correct to say that strings "are compatible" with floats in PHP, rather that in most (but not all) cases strings will be treated/parsed down as floats.

Which, for all intents and purposes, mean they're compatible with floats in most numeric contexts.
This sounds like religious dogma. How do you define "hardest working"? Would someone holding down two and three jobs count because these people tend to be some of the poorest.

I can imagine that if we could somehow make compensation transparent to the point that, say, buying bananas is so that every single worker has a rough idea of the value their work provides that would help raise wages but I would still struggle for a definition of "hard working" that would mean those that engage in it will become the richest.
