The one thing startups often miss out on while designing a revenue model
It's my experience that getting a pay rise in the same job is rather difficult in small/medium sized companies. The only way I have so far accomplished it is to move. Opinions tend to be quite viscous, it takes a lot of energy applied over a long period of time to change a view point. First impressions count. Just like your parents will tend to always see you as a child, your boss will tend to see you as the person you were when you joined. The dynamics of this situation are so stable over time that it can push common sense to breaking point. I was recently underpaid by £10,000 according to the market rate, yet could not negotiate even an inflation matching rise in pay. Like many things this is a battle between competing forces, your desire for enough money to make your life comfortable, the companies drive for more profit, a person's desire to avoid having to think, a person's drive for power and respect, etc. If you find yourself playing a game you cannot win, change the game and move on.
Nobody's reported this one yet! There's a bug tracker at https://github.com/h2s/ppl/issues/new if you're feeling generous with your time.

I could do with knowing what command you're running, what version of Ruby you're on, and whether you're running it inside an initialized address book repo.

Sorry about the bug by the way :(
I never thought about this until now, but I think this is a case of an interfix. So, it is turning "another" in to "a-whole-nother" much like "abso-f*ing-lutely" or "legend-and-I-hope-you're-not-lactose-intolerant-because-the-second-half-of-that-word-is-DAIRY!"
"public goods and commons goods, the two known categories where "the government" is clearly more efficient than markets."

Could you give me a reference for that? I am not an expert in economics, and that claim seems very doubful to me. Unless you are saying governments are good in spending money - yes, they are (getting rid of money, I mean).

The rest of your post, I am not sure what you are going on about. Yes, property laws are political (and some countries famously got rid of them, which for now has to be considered a failure). But what does that have to do with Keynesian spending? Also I admit I am not an expert on Keynes, but I suspect that puts me on par with most other people who have an opinion on it and advocate to just print more money.
Great, yet depressing description of the Irish psyche.

This part in particular rang true:

"The Republic of Ireland has never been truly independent. This could be because the best and the brightest were and are the most likely to emigrate, leaving behind the more deferential, insecure and apathetic people. British rule was overthrown in this part of the country in 1922 only to be replaced by an equally abusive system controlled from Rome.

This itself is in the process of being gradually overturned, but is being replaced by a regime controlled from Frankfurt, whose intentions are, as yet, unclear. Unless something fundamental changes in the public psyche, Ireland seems doomed to endlessly repeat its history of failure and to be a society that is deferential and provincial in outlook."
The writer didn't take one of my suggested edits:

> The higher the ball is thrown, the bigger the number,
> so throwing a four means you are throwing the ball
> higher than a two.

Originally she said that a 4 is twice the height of a 2, which is simply wrong. I suggested the above phrase, and then suggested having "The exact relationship is complicated."

Because the exact relationship ends up predicting the existence of throws that go backwards in time. When I give my talk I get the audience to make this prediction, and then I show how it can, in fact, be done (in some interpretation). I then show that balls traveling backwards in time are the same as anti-balls traveling forward in time, and it's a lot of fun.

Well, for me, at least.

Based on no evidence whatsoever, just an intuition about Jobs, I would not be surprised if the point of reference was Surfin' Safari - the Beach Boys song.

It is free from the negative connotations of a reference to Africa and consistent with the sort of Californian to which Jobs aspired. Apple was funded by a VW microbus after all.

The play on surfing is consistent with Apple's image of how consumers should be oriented to use their products.

the only kind of studio photography that comes to my mind where you don't work with your legs, keep camera in a constant position and don't want any drop shadows is packshots. the setup is basically a huge light box with more cameras. probably for some crazy demos.

The former. There was no mechanism to allow someone to leave the Euro - it just was never an option and the "coherence" of the system depends on this not happening. So, once you permit a member to do so, the whole Euro system becomes precarious, to say the least.

Just one short detail to show how ridiculous and picking on details this article is:

How is covering Festivalsommer 2013 "highly questionable"? Thats a clever way do things!

Getting rights for pictures of artists is a long and messy process, so you best take them yourself and make sure that you are an accredited journalist, so you are actually allowed to publish them. For many german artists, there are no pictures at all. The project has already been tried on one festival last year (Wacken 2012) and they try to cover 30 festivals. Expecting 50 Bands per festival, this potentially yields 1500 pictures (more or less). For that, 18000 is a _steal_, especially expecting that volunteers provide their own equipment.

So, tl;dr: Wikipedia is more than a website, it is also a foundation[1] that tries to improve all aspects of the service in clever ways. This costs money as well.

[1] Actually, more then one, Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. is something completely different. Another thing the Article misses: Wikimedia Deutschland has its own budget.
Long Lost Steve Jobs 1995 Speech Predicts the Future of Animation
It works great for me. If I'm making just minor code tweaks or configuration changes, I stay on Xcode. Whenever I expect to do more coding, I launch AppCode.

I had already been an Intellij user for a few years before starting on iOS projects on the side. At the time, AppCode wasn't available yet, so I had no choice. The more I used Xcode, the more I lamented the lack of choice.

Once AppCode came out, I bought it right away. It's a lot more stable and usable now, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has used anything other than Xcode.

If you've been an Xcode user all your life, you don't really know any better, and that's fine, more power to you.

If you've used any other IDE before, you know the features that Xcode lacks, and AppCode is the alternative you've been hoping for.
The "one IDE to rule them all" is IntelliJ IDEA. You will get most functionality of the other IDEs via plugins: http://plugins.intellij.net/?idea
One vote for rubymine. It handles all the rubyisms like rvm, rbenv, bundler and the various servers nicely as well as syntax hightlighting for all the ususals plus haml, coffeescript etc.

It also looks like it will be getting nice Torquebox integration soon if you are a jruby / Torquebox person.

I must admit though that I do not use the advanced features half as much as I should.
I think it's interesting that such an obscure thing was developed independently and simultaneously by your group in the UK, and Boppo's group far away in California.

Intellij handles Javascript great. One advantage of AppCode is that the IDE smarts aren't limited to Objective C code but also includes JS code, which works well when I'm working on my WebView/JS-based projects. I haven't used RubyMine directly, but I would be surprised if it didn't have JS smarts like all their other IDEs.
However, I would echo chrizel's comment that Intellij would be that one IDE to rule them all, at least in your case. Intellij has some Ruby plugins that worked well enough when I played around with Ruby a few years back, and the plugin is developed and maintained by JetBrains themselves.

I believe you can download it and evaluate for 30 days. In your case, it may be more like 23 hours, but you still get to play.

I've had pretty good success with most basic JavaScript stuff, whether in a .js file or embedded in some server side template. Haven't tested it with more complex stuff though. I also concur with my siblings here that IntelliJ IDEA is my "one IDE to rule them all!".
Now I'm wondering why didn't I do this... The "address book" app is an equivalent of hello world for me when I'm starting to learn some language. I probably implemented some kind of address book in, like, 9 different languages (the first one in QBasic :)) now? All CLI driven, of course.

You are very right. I really meant "the parts of the camera minus the embedded system that drives the whole thing", but that wasn't very succinct. :-P The application I was thinking of was indie movie making, so I would want a decent resolution up front, and I wouldn't expect a high-paying client to be forthcoming.

Along this tangent, I talked today to a friend of mine who is convinced that I would be better off using some of the lower-end consumer point-and-shoot cameras, or even purchasing old film cameras.

> I understand that you, or your system, adds items to patients' bills for tests that either have never been performed, or that have been performed unnecessarily.

The first one would be illegal. You can't bill for things that were not done.

The second one is a matter of interpretation : I do not judge whether it was necessary or not. If it was performed, I try to see how it logically could be argued, using the probability of finding matching evidence, that it was necessary given the case or preexisting conditions - and thus bill for it.

> Is that the case, or does your system check what probably was performed, and makes sure that it wasn't left out of the bill?

The third one, making sure things that were performed were not left out of the bill, is most of the work. The files are incomplete and it requires a probabilistic and interpretative approach, before sending in a human for fact checking.

It's all about providing incentives. The billing rules are complex, but there is some logic in them, and physicians see that too - it change their behaviour. #3 and #2 will directly result in other physicians becoming very careful that everything which should have been performed was - because doing this is highly lucrative, "it is as good as printing money". No need to do anything but following the law and the billing rules.

Truly useless tests won't increase the bill, and therefore they will be weeded out.

I see that as a financial incentive to change behaviours.

They Hateses It, and It They Hateses, and that's good enough for them.

Here in the States, I worked at one company where two overachieving colleagues had been trying to get raises for years. In both cases, they got fed up and found other jobs. The interesting thing is that in both cases, their respective bosses at our company told them to immediately apply for the positions they were vacating at our company. In one case the employee was hired back into the exact same position with a very significant raise less than two weeks after outprocessing. In the second case, the employee literally outprocessed one day, took a single day off, and inprocessed back into the same position the following day, again with a very significant raise.
The trick is to get them when they're on academic probation. My school had the "4 horsemen of the math department" and overall their GPA averages tended to be in the "square root club" (sqrt of the GPA is higher than the actual GPA). However, when they were on academic probation it was all A's and B's.

Through a combination of dropped classes, complaints, and bad course surveys, the school eventually picked up that these guys were horrible.

Let's try to help you - here's a revised version of what I said:

1. The exact relationship between the number used to represent a throw is complicated.

2. When you use the relationship, you end up predicting that some throws have to go backwards in time.

3. SiteSwap predicts the existence of juggling tricks that use these "Time-Traveling" throws.

4. The juggling tricks can, in fact be done.

5. We interpret a ball going backwards in time as an anti-ball going forwards in time.

So, which bit don't you get? Ask, and I shall expand.
