I have a couple of wealthier friends and one that is getting wealthier by the day.

The way I solved this problem between us is that I refuse to accept "mercy" gifts. I will accept an earnest gift when It is presented out of kindness. Also I demand that our financials be thoroughly transparent with me covering my fair share.

It works exceptionally well, allowing for our friendship to develop at its own and sincere pace. Besides, being around him and having such a friend/mentor is a gift that keeps on giving, more than a paid this or that ever could.
It becomes a priority when there is serious lobbying by an industry with very deep pockets.

Stackoverflow sometimes annoy me in how aggressive some people can be at closing questions. So this is a question that's 3 years old, where Jeff Atwood himself weighed in. But somehow, just because it got a surge of popularity recently it was closed 40 minutes ago.
I actually did the math in my head (Thales) and thought 290 might be just about right, but if you want to be more accurate, use http://bhtooefr.org/displaycalc.htm . The number at bottom-right is the distance "at which individual pixels will no longer be distinguishable", a.k.a Retina.

Retina iPad 3: 2048x1536, 9.7" display, distance: 13", PPI: 263

A contrived Retina Nexus 7: 1700x1130, 7" display, distance: 11.75", PPI: 291 (I adjusted screen resolution so the distance is about 11.5")

I tried to do the math myself, but failed miserably. This article on TUAW has some formulas: http://www.tuaw.com/2012/03/01/retina-display-macs-ipads-and...
That is only a good choice if you are actually connecting to something. In most websites you are connected to the same server no matter what you do, and all the login does is to give you special permissions.
It really depends on multiple factors - is the company service or product oriented?

Product companies generally tightly associate the brand of their product with themselves in the beginning.

Service oriented companies generally focus more on their mission first.

The mission: What your business objectives are within a reasonable time period usually with an associated timeline.

The vision: Sometimes lists unattainable goals but generally focuses more on goals for the future.

In the end, you have to know what the business is about and where they are heading to 'brand' them.

The VC/company relationship is really not at all like an employer/employee relationship.

With VCs, the power dynamic is worse, because of the incestuous nature of that community.

Your boss can fire you, but if he tries to blacklist you or otherwise fuck up your future jobs, and you catch him, you will not only be able to sue him and win, but you'll embarrass him and he'll probably never manage again in that company, if not lose his job.

On the other hand, VCs talk to each other in all kinds of inappropriate and anti-competitive ways. They tend to look out for their own. So a VC can prevent you from raising money in the future if he wants to.

So, in fact, the power relationship can be a lot worse. It's true that VCs don't micromanage, but when things get ugly, they can be a lot more damaging than a regular boss.

> Why would you want to hold your tablet with two hands, other than perhaps gaming?

Only slightly related, but: Is there any data on how people use tablets? I feel we're just making guesses based on smartphones all the time.

Example: My iPad spends the whole breakfast standing (in a case) on the table with me only turning eBook pages. Then it spends the evening somehow tucked into the bed as a movie machine. When I read in bed after that, I always read sideways and I'm happy that the iPad is so wide.

I could never connect with the Kindle ads because it wouldn't occur to me to hold the iPad (or a magazine or thick book) freely to read.

Other people may be obsessed with BT keyboards or other gadgets even.
I feel like most games on my phone are not the kind of games I would want to play on a TV. Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and so on are mobile games. With a open hardware/open source gaming platform for TV games we could get past Sony and Microsoft dominating the market.

I can't connect my phone to a TV as far as I know (SGS2), it might be possible but honestly I have not researched it because it's not something I would be interested in.

A open console with a good controller that is easy for independent developers and others to get into would be great.
The Case Against Logic-less Templates
I will second this, I had an iPad, sold it, hot a transformer prime and it's pretty much the perfect device. I've never had a problem with it, it's powerful, Android is just great, I'm generally very very happy with it.
A french freelancer's nightmare
I agree with your prediction, but it scares me that a medium that should make communications easier will actually put more barriers between ages.

I already do not understand SMS spelling: in 50 years, probably a 30 years old person will not understand things written by a 15 years old person.

Conservatism in schools has the advantage that we can still read Shakespeare (or Dante) without translation. Languages that change too quickly defy their own purpose (i.e. being a common ground for people to communicate).

Do that many phones really have HDMI output? Mine does not as far as I know. My point is that with the current games on phones, I do not feel any of those would directly benefit from being on a TV. Angry Birds wouldn't suddenly get more fun just because it's on a big screen.

A open console that's easily to hack on, be it software- or hardware-wise, would only be a good thing. And judging by the insane amount of money that has been pledged in this short time there is also a good market for one.¨

I think the OUYA will be a good thing, and the main benefit over just connecting your phone to the TV is that the console is created for being connected to a TV.

The games are created for being on a TV, which changes the genre of games from Angry Birds style phone games to games like Quake or whatever else you might usually play on a console.

That's sort of what I was trying to say with my previous questions, you might be able to connect your phone to the TV and have a equally good device, but the market and community the OUYA will create is what makes it valuable to me.

There is no company that will make a videogame that suits the TV on the off-chance that you connect your mobile phone to one. :/

Floost : a userful version of Pinterest and less of a Toy
On qoura someone quoted our startup among a list of Pinterest look alikes. We would have been really upset about it that after 18 months of effort, if you qouted that way. But just before we even noticed , a floost user responded saying " You guys have actually found a more useful version of Pinterest, and it looks less like a toy ". That was really interesting and sorta hit the right chord with us. I just wanted to see if you guys would try Floost and see if you feel the same
the TPP could stop future governments from making their own decisions on important issues including how long copyright lasts

Pretty sure that was already done when NZ signed Berne in 1928 and TRIPS in 1995, both of which impose a minimum duration of copyright terms.

That is true. Wouldn't mapping specific keys (physical, on the keyboard) to actions/events better than mapping actions to the characters pressed? I thought that was how things worked now.

Nobody using Dvorak will want WASD as movement controls for a game for example, but they will most likely want to use the same keys, right?
I've moved around a lot, and in between countries too. Making friends when you are older gets harder, and if there is a culture difference it gets even harder. That said, I've also gotten better at it over the years. You see this sort of thing in people who have spent big chunks of their life as an expat. There are also places around the world that have a lot of English speaking expats around, where it's fairly easy to make friends. These friendships aren't all long lasting, and you only manage to keep a fraction of the friends you have made in a new location. That said, you do value good friendships a lot more and will make the extra effort to travel to see these people.
I don't get why Ouya is such a hot story right now, but Open Pandora is not?

http://openpandora.org/

The Pandora can do all of the things Ouya dreams about (already has done it), has a working software eco-system, has an app-store in place, and heck .. the Pandora even has its own development tools onboard. All you need to develop for Pandora is available: on the Pandora.

So I think this Ouya thing is one thing altogether (Hype circle), but the Pandora .. its not getting the love it deserves. Honestly, I couldn't be more excited for a next-generation gaming platform architecture than I am for the Pandora ..

If you want really good theology I would recommend Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis: http://www.amazon.com/Mere-Christianity-C-S-Lewis/dp/0060652...

I'm a Christian myself and have been one for nearly two two years. I came from a more or less non-religious background growing up and today Christ is of utmost importance in my life displacing everything else.

I look forward to ultimate redemption of mankind - basically a time where every problem in the world will be solved and there will be no suffering. It will be a time when humans and their creator (God) will dwell together and Christ will rule over them with justice and love. I believe there is no human description of this supernatural world, what I assume is that it will be filled with unfathomable joy and splendour.

A few verses from the Bible about it: (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+21...)

(Please bear in mind most of this is symbolic as is the rest of the Book of Revelation)

"Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away ... 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life." - Revelation 21

Most importantly of all, the price (or ticket) to enter the Kingdom of Heaven has _already_ been paid; by Jesus on the cross.

The core Christian belief is that _all_ humans are sinner (or evil) and that none of us are deserving of anything but death. But God so loved us (his creation), that he decided to save us by taking the penalty of our sin (which is death) upon himself on the cross. (Jesus is an exact representation of God - http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+1%3A3...). He intends to eventually fix everything; this world, and unite us with himself. The good news is that He freely offers us his salvation and all we have to do to receive it is to believe in him.

This oft-quoted Bible verse summarizes it well:
"16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3%3A16-17&#...)
After more reading, I'm struggling to find fault in the reporting. The judge is part of a pressure group who are anti the Trans Pacific Partnership, a deal which seem bent on forcing US interlectual property law on NZ.
From the NBR report I linked
>>District Court Judge David Harvey said New Zealanders had to realise the TPP would affect their everyday lives, too.

He gave the example of how, today, many DVD players let you play discs designating for other regions – a practice that is legal under the Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Act 2008 but which would be criminalised under the TPP.

(Some may find Judge Harvey's sustained attack on the US negotiating position intriguing in the light of the fact he is also a pivotal player in the Kim Dotcom extradition saga).

An Australian government representative gave another potential everyday example from the floor: low-cost, third-party inkjet printer refill cartridgess becoming illegal.

All af the above examples could occur if the US gets its desired section (or "chapter") on IP (intellectual property) included in the final version of the TPP.

Judge Harvey summed up, "We have met the enemy, and he is the US"<<

> Now, autotools/automake are a different (bad) story

While autotools are a bit hairy for the developer, the autotools-based builds usually work quite nicely. I regularly build the GNU toolchain (gcc + binutils + glibc) for cross compilation and usually it works like a charm. I grab the sources from git repos so naturally they have their moments, but it usually works better than any other build system.

Some build systems are a lot more convenient for simple tasks (I like CMake) but when it comes to cross compiling or truly configuring for varying build sites, autotools-based systems deliver.

A few years ago there was some hassle with autoconf/automake version numbers but that seems to have been solved now.

It's bloat, until you realise that you need to persist a lot of information about the "thing".

Then you realise that the "thing" isn't actually that little at all.

BTW modern OO has constructs which allow a "Verb"-like structure: Generics. You write logic for a certain class of "things", and your compiler makes sure that what you're doing is actually possible.

What I read from this article is: "Apple should release a 7" iPad and I will buy it at once. I am sad I have to use a Google product now but this 7" form factor is really irresistible".
There's available and "available". I have do doubt there are at least a few importers who buy Kindle Fires in the US and are selling them in Australia, but that's not the same as the Kindle Fire truly being available in Australia (the way the Nexus 7 is). Unlike other Kindles, Amazon will refuse to ship a Kindle Fire to Australia. I think that's a pretty clear statement from Amazon on Australian availability.

"Back then I was in a pretty scarce situation so I decided to go for the first job I got offered since I needed money."

I've found that pretty much every decision I've come to regret has been made in times when I've been in bad financial situations, and I made the decision primarily based on money reasons.

A couple jobs I've taken turned out to be really bad choices, but I took them because I needed something right then. In one case, the company itself was not good (really dysfunctional team/operations inside) and I didn't feel bad about quitting - the other case, I did feel bad about quitting so soon after starting. The people were nice, but I realized I'd made a bad decision and had to get out.

Having a strong financial base to draw on when you 'go freelance' either due to choice or you get laid off(!) can not be overstated. I used to be relieved if I had a few weeks of living expenses in the bank, and look back now and wonder how I ever survived with that mentality. (Obviously I did!).

shameless plug - http://indieconf.com - the conference for web freelancers - has an open call for speakers. Some of the sessions we've had in the past have focused on freelancer financials and legal issues like the issues raised in the OP post.

tl;dr - It's really hard to make wise/good decisions from a position of financial insecurity. Well... it's hard enough to make wise/good decisions anyway - doing so from a position of insecurity multiplies that difficulty.

EDIT - misread this - the OP hadn't "gone freelance" - had just taken the first job offer that came along. So... not entirely a related plug above, but... the CFP is still open :)
You'd have at least thought they'd just move the question.
Typically questions linked from a news aggregate site are closed because the question is now a stage for people to shout "me too" without reading the other posts. We end up with dozens of comments that haven't added any value to the discussion. If one of my questions are linked, I request a mod lock it, because it's damn annoying to have my inbox flooded with that kind of feedback. Protected locks are removed after a short time, if you feel strongly that you had a meaningful contribution to the post.
