"Evil" is overstating it I think. Murder is evil. Cutting into a business's margins for promotional reasons is just business. And it is totally voluntary for the restaurants-- no one forces them to promote with groupon.

The alternative reading is that in the case either of the parliament or the ECJ rejects the current agreement, he will try to find a compromise that can get the approval of both.

While it is possible that he wants to try to weasel a procedural end-run around rejections, what he's actually said does not provide any basis for jumping to that conclusion.
That doesn't surprise me.

Back when I was fresh out of uni and doing a junior EE position, I had a design engineer rate an electrolytic for the wrong voltage in a switch mode supply. When raised, the design engineer informed me that he didn't make mistakes and that I should go and build a prototype of the circuit without question. My condition was that only if he powered it up, which he did and promptly spend half an hour removing bits of capacitor fluff off everything...

The result was eventually that we just bought COTS switch mode supplies and the design engineer removed head from butthole.
True w.r.t. international research record, but in computer science and engineering in the US/Canada it's fairly common to build such a record while getting the PhD, and then get an Assistant Professor position directly. North American PhDs typically take 5-8 years, so it's quite possible (and increasingly expected) to publish ~10 conference papers and 1-2 journal articles before you graduate. It's less common in the natural sciences, where 2-3 years postdoc seems quasi-obligatory.

You are confusing the European Union with the Eurozone (the EU countries that use the Euro).

Withdrawal from the EU is a right of member states. However, withdrawal from the Eurozone wasn't envisioned or planned for and therefore there is no organized way to leave the Euro monetary zone (Eurozone).

EDIT: Not all EU countries use the Euro and therefore part of the Eurozone.

I got burned by AeroFS recently. Uninstalled AeroFS and then wiped one computer; when I woke another one up, all the data I had synced with the first computer started getting deleted, as indicated by many Growl notifications.

I could not stop the action and was only able to recover bits and pieces of data from deleted blocks. On OSX, one might think that deleted actions would move the file to the trash but, nope, straight up deleted. These two unexpected behaviors have convinced me drop AeroFS and stop telling others about it.

Problem is that the stable marriage problem assumes that the number of women and men are the same which is clearly not the case for online dating. So yes the women's pool is larger by the fact there are more men on the site. Some of your assumptions are faulty. Just because a woman receives 20x more messages then men, doesn't mean men are sending 20x more messages. Say there are 5x more men on the site to begin with, then they are only sending 4x more messages.

I agree with your theory that women messaging men doesn't hurt but helps their chances.
Armenia Visa
A visa is required for entering Armenia. The Republic of Armenia has agreements on mutual non-visa entry with Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Armenia also has agreements with Bulgaria, Hungry, Romania and Cuba (visitors from these countries need an official invitation from the inviting institution or, if the visitor is invited by an individual, an invitation letter provided by the ministry of inner affairs).

I don't think any mainstream perspective claims that the crises in the various member states are caused by anything other than their being in the Eurozone

Crisis in Ireland was caused by a property bubble, and ridiculus lending from banks causing them to be essentially insolvent. Unconditional guarantee of all Irish bank debts by the Irish Government in Sept 2008 led to the Irish Government being unable to borrow money on the international bond market at a non-crazy rate.

If only there was more EU wide banking regulation.

>that is not true at all - not knowing grammar well doesn't mean the writer has nothing good or creative, or worthwhile to say (or write about).

Having something to say and saying it effectively are not synonymous. There are many people with worthy ideas who fail to express themselves competently.

I have yet to encounter a good writer who has poor grammar. Good writers care about grammar, for the same reason good programmers care about style: it's a mark of careful and deliberate artifice.

A good programmer doesn't simply want their programs to compile and run without error; they want it to be readable, maintainable, and elegant. They want the quality of their code to speak for itself. Similarly, a good writer seeks not only to clearly express their ideas, but to do so in a way that evokes thought and emotion on the part of the reader. To do so it is necessary, but not sufficient, to achieve technical mastery of the language in which you write.

Good carpenters don't make sloppy cuts, good chefs don't burn the rice, and good painters don't make stray strokes. These are the easy things to get right: the bare essentials for being competent at your task. A person cooking a meal for their family may use too much salt, a person playing guitar around a campfire may play the wrong chord, and someone responding to a comment on the Internet may talk lik dis,, or use unnessary punctuaton!

The difference between the craftsman and the lay person is that the craftsman takes as writ the technical mastery of their skills, and focuses on composition. The lay person is concerned only with the gist.

One question that you are not asking is whether this decision was affected in any way by the Megaupload case.

>Gandhi's great insight was that nonviolent resistance is more effective than violent resistance. He is increasingly being proven correct.

Citations? He wasn't even proven correct in India! It was people like Bhagat Singh who finally convinced Britian that it just wasn't worth the trouble. Do you honestly think Gandhi's peaceful protests did anything? If you had some land that you were exploiting for great profit and the only thing between you and more riches was Ghandi would you stop? Of course not, he's no threat to anything. His "great insight" guarantees he never will be. The only thing that could be problematic would be if a majority of the people you need to exploit started doing the same thing, but game theory tells us this probably won't be the case. Just shoot a Ghandi or two and most people will go back to the factories/fields.

I know of no country gaining independence or changing their government without violence or the threat of violence. Of course Britain wants to claim that Ghandi had something to do with it. Hopefully next time people will be stupid enough to believe it, only resist peacefully and we can just ignore them.

Mostly I just tell them I am a programmer.

not knowing grammar well doesn't mean the writer has nothing good or creative, or worthwhile to say (or write about).

In those cases the person in question (and his potential readers) would be much better served if he worked with a skilled ghost writer or co-author, rather than trying to write something on his own. Much in the way a scientist or mathematician, who only knows a little programming, is often better served working together with a skilled programmer rather trying translate their domain knowledge to code on their own.

Karen Millen One Shoulder Dresses
This is wrong. Nonviolence on its own doesn't work at all. Gandhi would have been forgotten by now if people like Bhagat Singh hadn't been making enough trouble to cause the venture to not be worth the cost. Martin Luther King would have failed had the black panthers not been effective with their violence (e.g. "the bomb blast heard 'round the world" mentioned in a King speech). Peaceful resistance probably was tried in Germany, but the Nazis had a habit of disappearing people who didn't toe the party line. You honestly believe the majority of people in Germany thought Hitler was wrong? It was dangerous to disagree.

I don't think Nonvioence and Game Theory play nice together. Nonviolence as a complete solution strikes me as an idea that we really want to believe but isn't actually true. There are many things in this world that are bad and I would like to see changed. I'd love to be able to just be nonviolent and cause it to change but I don't think history is very kind to this fantasy.

Are most HN readers really from the US?

I ran a poll here a couple of months ago [0]. While far from being accurate, it could at least be considered somehow representative for the HN audience (it lasted more than 24h on the front page, so all time zones were covered). Even though the non-US group seems to have caught up compared to a couple of years back, the US still dominates the HN audience.

The problem with stuff like this isn't that there are a lot of details, it's just that: they're details, not issues.

There's nothing wrong with details: all the little hacks that work for us that we can share and copy. They're fun and cool and can really help.

But make no mistake about it: details are not issues.

Examples of details:

- when I wake up
- what I eat
- how I exercise
- my set-up
- my preferences
- my life hacks
- how my team is organized
- how we communicate
- what I read
- where we go
- tips & tricks

Examples of issues:

- the value I produced for my paying customers

Frankly, I'd rather talk about issues.

Believe it or not, this is standard electrical engineering.

The breakers in your home breaker box operate the exact same way. A 20A breaker will trip once you exceed a certain threshold, which I believe is 16 or 17. They're rated to go to 20 by the factory, but to prevent problems with overloading and causing fires/explosions/etc, they purposefully break at a lower threshold.

So this isn't just a colo price scam thing, this is the way the world works.

"The Systems Bible", also known as Systemantics, is a classic and highly recommended. It's probably not what you expect: it covers systems in general, and large complex systems in particular. It's not specific to computer systems let alone any particular flavor of computer system - these are rules which apply to all systems, from a municipal garbage collection program to a supertanker. Yet if you've ever dealt with a real-world distributed system you'll find it surprisingly relevant and timeless.
