This article is really amazing as it provides some of the basic but essential information about teeth cleaning which we usually ignore. So read this article to maintain a proper dental oral hygiene.
This fact is highlighted by the contrasting use of "exeunt" ("they leave") in stage directions.
That would never happen. At least, I hope this would never happen...

That would require all forms of media be passed through a distribution chain, which would be ridiculous. But then again, this law seems ridiculous so let's wait and see.

AFAIK, the price-per-unit AT&T is paying to Nokia is a trade secret.
I'd be pretty surprised if Nokia's marketing team haven't already some some price sensitivity analysis (maybe based on past promotions or variations in pricing across carriers or territories) to determine the expected change in revenue from this line. I would guess that you're right, and this level of price change as presented to the end consumer isn't going to drive sales to any meaningful degree. It's possible though that the promotional effect will have a bigger impact (i.e. some percentage people who haven't heard of or noticed the device before will purchase based on other factors).

Either this, OR some marketing director somewhere needs to be seen to be doing something.
what books are those? clean code and what's the other one?
Hmm...

Developers definitely need to fit the "be human" requirement - that helps you actually converse with users to find what they need. But wants and needs are different - and you need to be able to find what they actually need/want - not what they think they do. Because otherwise you can create a monster system that is incrementally better than what they already have.

But CS degree type developers shouldn't be overlooked. It is simply not true that "everyone can code" - self taught is not always a good thing. If you're coding anything that needs to properly scale, run on limited hardware etc then you need someone who has a grounding in the subject.
Ask HN: I'm desperate to stay in Denmark. Anyone need a great web/ios dev?
Using a throwaway account, although I'm pretty active on HN.

I spent 6 years working in Silicon Valley where I worked many years for companies such as Yahoo! and Facebook.

My overall experience is probably around 10 years.

I specialize in Python/Django as well as pretty good in Obj-C/Cocoa/Cocoa Touch, and I've got many apps in App Store and few Mac OSX apps as well.

I know C, C++, and PHP pretty well. I also know some Perl, and can pickup any technology very quickly.

I can do development, server admin, IT work, etc.

I freelance and run my own small business specializing in web apps and ios/osx apps.

I'm from US, but now find myself in Copenhagen, Denmark where I met a nice girl and want to stay for foreseeable future.

My tourist visa is quickly expiring, and I need a work visa to stay longer than 3 months.

Anyone interested in hiring me and sponsoring my work visa? I promise I won't disappoint and can bring my tremendous experience to any tasks you have.

Send me an email at desperateincph@gmail.com and we'll talk more.

EDIT: Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. I'm floored at all of the help. If someone is in CPH, and wants to grab coffee, and talk about tech, travel, or whatever, let me know as well.

One thing that has really disappointed me with Make and friends is that we have Maven and SBT now. Suddenly Make , Autotools, CMake , Scons ,.... they all just seem so archaic compared to the amazing simplicity that is SBT. Automatic dependency resolution, incremental compilation, simple project publishing, no writing of build scripts ever.

The only other build system I know of that comes close is Go's built in system, but that appears to be more because of their instance on no linking

If you need to do any serious hacking, you need to have a serial port in there. That usually requires a little soldering, and sometimes the pads on the PCBs can be a little tricky to solder to.

But after that you can access the bootloader and early kernel console and you can get a lot more stuff done if you need to. Like unbricking after a screwup.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftonbladet

"When it was first published in 1830 by Lars Johan Hierta, it was a tabloid that reported news and also criticised the new Swedish king Charles XIV John. The king stopped Aftonbladet from being printed and banned it. This was answered by starting the new newspaper "Det andra Aftonbladet" (The second Aftonbladet), which was subsequently banned, followed by new versions named in similar fashion until the newspaper had been renamed 26 times, after which it was allowed by the king."

I wonder how many times the Pirate Bay has to be "blocked" today for our lawmakers and courts to realize the futility of it?
It kind of sounds like this guy took an agreed upon amount of money to do a project and then kept trying to charge more and more for it while only sort of working on it, and then just bailing and never delivering the final product.

I'm not sure what he did deliver but it sounds more like he owes the company all the money he has been paid so far since he didn't deliver the product. I mean really the nightmare of this all sounds like it is on the side of his employer. He really didn't include enough details though about the original arrangement.

Most of the companies I've worked with had absolutely no security considerations. They've expected it to work out of the box, with, say, RoR and Apache.

Needless to say, it didn't work. Also to be noted, there were no noticed service disruptions caused by any 3rd party. We were small fish.

Which leads me to the following - security is a scaling issue. Sure, your prototype even though ready for going live, need not really be secured in most use cases. But once you start to grow, especially rapidly, things can easily spin out of control.

You need some time to get a proper certificate, your database looks like development version on your local machine, you've handed out few ssh keys via e-mail and it's on few USB sticks lying around for root admin on deployment server (since someone has to take care of it while you sleep), you login on public networks to get company resources you need asap, etc.

What I'm really interested is - how does one scale it? What are the priorities?

Having people used to a certain concept and then migrating that concept to the web contributes a lot to the success of a product. It saves you the trouble of introducing abstract concepts to the average user, which could be sometimes troublesome.

However the generalization of this observation is incorrect, it is inaccurate and should not be used as a rule to define a good product and\or startup.

Well, I've got something similar that I've implemented client side certs on - works well for our case, which is a private api where new clients are vetted before they get to use the api.
It's a very intriguing statement, but I miss the insight to understand why it's true. Sure, you can name lots of businesses that would have had an offline equivalent, but why does it follow that you're in trouble without such?

So what? The guy owns a Mac, therefore he's bathing in money?

This kind of prejudice is ridiculous. He bought a Mac ergo he has boatloads of money and can throw some more without a thought?

I'm not one of the Apple Tax conspirationists: I find Macs fair priced for their value (hardware, software and daily ROI), but I recognize they are not cheap (in any sense). So I put my money where my mouth is, saved some cash, and bought a MacBook Pro stuffed with 4GB RAM and a 256GB SSD a few years ago. That was IMO some well-spent money, but I am not able put even a tenth of what it cost me on the table right now.

Even then, just because you have money doesn't mean you need not think about how to spend it (if anything that might be the biggest contribution as to why one "has money": because it's spent thoughtfully, else you just burn what you earn). Especially if it's to put some serious money on something akin to an experiment (and it's not like he thought about it every single day during three years).
Indeed, the FAQs are not very clear. I nowadays go to programmers for conceptual questions, e.g. about architecture. But there's overlap, and I've been referred to SO from a "programmers" question before. IMHO it would be less confusing to just merge the two and let the community vote on the answers.
Treaties don't actually bind governments all that much. Generally, there is pressure to sign them and not leave, but many governments agree to do things behind the scenes without formally signing a treaty.

Beware of blind elitism
It was a freelance work, "the company decided to stop paying me until the project would be completed due to the multiple delays". The post is fairly well balanced by the way, he totally agrees that issues were on both side.

The biggest mistake he made was: "I hadn't took holidays for 2 years at the time". This is really really sad. Normally in France you have at least 5 weeks of vacations a year, but you need to earn them for the next year. So, if you change job each year, you get the vacations paid as money but no free time. It looks like he did just that.

I am really sorry for him, freelancing is hipped all over the place but it is hard to do it well and nearly impossible without good money in the bank to support the bad months.

>>The yoga instructors are there specifically to make employees happier

What makes the employees happy? Fake Yoga?

This is clearly a case of somebody totally uninterested in yoga, but wants to learn it because of a hype kind of a person getting into a Yoga class.

I understand you are trying to convey Facebook itself wants to sell fake yoga to its employees, so that they can get the feeling of a perk. Which is actually just a ritual the company wants to do and get over with. But if I were to be a guy in that yoga class I would raise my voice against insult to yoga and also the teacher in general, because sooner or later nothing serious will ever happen in such a company.

If I ever go to a music class or whatever class. I go there because I genuinely want to learn something. I don't like uninterested people joining and spreading nuisance to other serious participants who are serious about learning things.
(5) Start refusing hourly-rate projects. Your new minimum billable increment is a day.

I'm assuming that holds true for you? If so, how did clients respond to that? I'm curious to hear about existing clients you transitioned from hourly (if applicable), and new clients that were introduced to that pay structure from day 1 (b/c most new clients I encounter have only heard of fixed pricing or hourly billing).

Not sure if they even wanted to run a yoga class.

A range of difficulties have emerged for TPP seeking to strengthen IP standards beyond those agreed
to in TRIPS. Analysis of the costs and benefits of IP protection shows that there is a tendency towards
overprotection of IP in all our societies, particularly in the areas of copyright and patents. The analysis
also shows that the optimal rate of protection differs between countries and that it can differ across
time as countries move through different stages of economic development.

The second linked document - New Zealand's submission - was quite readable and seems fairly rational.

The essays by NZ organisations opposing TPP were also pretty much all interesting reads.

My personal burnouts always ended up with visits to ER, so I kind of got lucky there.

Why lucky, you say? Because I had legitimate sick leave for those, and good luck finding and employer who will recognize, empathize and treat your burnout as a regular illness. It usually just spirals out of control until it kills everything around it.
So you're saying that the only acceptable solution is to lift these people out of poverty? What about the people that are affected in the meantime? The end of poverty isn't something that's just waiting for someone to snap their fingers for it to come to a crashing halt.

Also, depending on where you're talking about in the world, poverty is dependent on the local political situation. See North Korea for example. If I sent boatloads of supplies and money to North Korea, what are the chances that they were reach the common man (instead of going towards the military and ruling elite)?

Nagging for subscribing to her private newsletter THREE TIMES (one in top of page, another in the middle, another at the bottom), flashing her new Android app and asking you to download it TWICE, 'Add me to your circles :)', about 10 sharing buttons, 'Tweet me' in every other paragraph, 'Click here to vote this up in HN' THREE TIMES, a disturbing lightbox (when you're halfway through the article)... Everything you hate about tech blogs is here.

It's pretty clear you've never actually seen an iPad app.

Because if you had then you would know that just because you can view a "mobile" website on your laptop it doesn't make it optimal. iPad apps are specifically designed to make best use of the real estate and there are a number of iPad-only UI concepts.
