This is also why I decided to add southern europe, since they are also quite different from say Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, etc.

Thanks for the update. I am definitely naive.
When someone like Github does this (make some parts of their code open-source, but others closed-source), journalists don't write critical pieces about them, do they? I mean, Google leaves a bad taste in my mouth since they started shuttering services like it was Christmas at the Google Service Chopping Block, but I don't see them being actively evil here.

It's all according to the previously openly aired plan. Google keeps all of the existing code open source. Anyone who wants to build a fork can do so. Now if they want a hardware platform to run on, go find one outside the Open Handset Alliance ecosystem. It's fair game -- if a hardware partner thinks that one of Google's competitors can provide a better Android fork, they are free to leave the Alliance and go partner with that competitor. They will still get an enormous amount of code for free in AOSP. They just won't get all of the services that Google is building specifically for its own version of Android. How is any of this maintaining an "iron grip" in any way? Just contrast this with Apple where it is the sole owner of everything to do with the OS and app marketplace.

I'm pretty sure the tax part upheld by the Supreme Court had to do with the individual mandate. They weren't saying that the insurance companies collect a tax, but rather that if you don't have insurance, the government can collect a tax.
Because the treasury probably doesn't have the statutory authority to withhold payments to appropriated programs. Even if it did, that would mean cutting social security or medicare payments while waiting for an interest payment. So you are certainly hurting people who are depending on those programs(a political nightmare) in the expectation that there will be no debt limit raise. If you think that missing an interest payment will be a catastrophe you paradoxically have no incentive to order these social programs cut to make an interest payment because no one would be so irresponsible as to allow that to happen.
It might be grouped that way for geography but culturally and demographically so depending on what you want to get out of your survey the distinction could be worth while.
I don't see Google making any rules about OEMs not being allowed to manufacture devices with micro SD slots, removable batteries or physical keyboards. Just because Google doesn't want to spend its R&D money on those features doesn't mean they're stopping anyone else who uses Android.
You forgot one of the biggest reasons for the exchanges: they're the mechanism through which the government provides premium subsidies to people who qualify.

I think there are a variety of reasons for that (e.g. keeping better tabs on the large amount of money spent on subsidies, easier administration of the subsidy tax credit), but the bottom line is the law says people only get the subsidies if they go through an exchange, so...

The problem with being pedantic about word definitions is that definitions change with time and according to society's whims. This is why dude and gay today don't really mean what they used to mean. Individuals or even groups don't really have influence over what a definition should be if their desired definition goes against the flow of society's definition.

Rather than creating the term cracking and attempting to get that in the public mind to refer to what they currently refer to as hacking is a waste of time. It's far easier to create a new word to refer to what is known to folks like Stallman as hacking. The only reason to not do so is due to sentimental value and emotional attachment to a definition that is not accepted by society, and it is society that sets a language's evolution. As such, such sentimental value is moot in the grand scheme of things.

I'm not sure how anyone else could know what my best interests are. There are a lot of real world applications where small amounts of data loss don't matter but latency matters a lot.

Any time I deploy something as critical as a database, I carefully read about what it does and how it works. Not doing so is like signing a contract without reading it.
Most of the examples of Google closed apps that are not part of the AOSP release are in fact apps that are based off of Google data-center services. Would it really help Samsung if the source to the Gmail app was open? Since Google controls the server side, and the client-server protocol, it limits the amount of innovation they can do.

The web equivalent would be like claiming that Chrome OS isn't open because the source to Gmail isn't available.

Google is stuck behind a rock and a hard place. If they don't try to create incentives for a unified experience, they get bashed for encouraging fragmentation, if they do assert a level of control, they get bashed for not being completely open.
Most people don't take most art critics seriously, so there is also that.
Any comprehensive study of the genre must include movies directed by John Ford; and movies starring John Wayne. There will be much overlap in these two sets. Wayne was not a versatile actor, but any study of The American Western without significant attention to him would be incomplete. "Stagecoach" and "The Searchers" are good examples of their early and later collaborations, respectively. Howard Hawks' "Rio Bravo". Anthony Mann's westerns starring James Stewart. More recent suggestions would include Lawrence Kasdan's "Silverado" and Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven".
You mean it has a low marginal cost. However, it required a huge capital investment to create, from which they are now rightfully reaping the benefits.
> the requirement for OEMs to not manufacture _any_ devices compatible with non-Google forks

Is that really where the line is? My understanding is that it is almost the opposite: an OEM cannot manufacture any devices that break compatibility with AOSP, not support compatibility with a 3rd party fork. And the constraint is a condition of membership of AOSP rather than something imposed directly by Google. They can make things as compatible with as many non-Google forks as they want. They can break all compatibility wherever they want if they give up AOSP membership.

ps. In school we are taught either that Australia is the continent or Oceania is the continent, encompassing Australia, New Zealand, Micronesia, Polynesia (of which NZ is sometimes considered a part of) & Melanesia. It used to be this way until I suppose FIFA started considering Australia part of Asia. Now it's just confusing.

If there were an Oceania option, folks in Hawaii could vote for team Oceania.

The problem with the corporate income tax is that it is so easy to avoid...because you avoid it by having expenses. Luxury hotel rooms and corporate jets are legitimate business expenses, where they aren't deductible for personal income.

I have no problem believing that tax collections would increase by taxing capital gains as income and removing the corporate tax. And it would certainly be more fair than the current setup, with corporate taxation's terribly regressive incidence. The only kink is that they would have to have foreign investors paying income tax in the US, which might be hard to accomplish.
that is a legitimate counterpoint.

though in a dickish format, to be sure.

I am from Jaipur, India. Many I times I am detestful of the fact that I don't live in big cities like Mumbai or Bangalore. I don't hear of any programming meetups that happen here, neither there are any conferences, nor any startup that has bubbled up. The first thing that I want to do after my graduation is to move in to a big city because socializing with smart people is the most recurring advice I have heard for ambitious freshers.
Will be interesting to see how this progresses as diff timezones wake up. It's pretty Aus heavy at the moment as people like me procrastinate in the office.

So, every Samsung phone effectively comes with three versions of the main apps - the AOSP version, the Google Play version, and Samsung's bloatware?

This seems like a terrible situation for users. Can someone with a Samsung smartphone confirm this?

If this is the case, how are the apps organized when you first buy the phone - are they all in one big apps list?
I'm certainly not saying they are wrong to leverage that asset. I don't think the point is about right or wrong as regards Google's action, but simply the extra barrier this represents for a competitor.
Have you looked at phantomjs?

The webintro example here (https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/wiki/Examples) scrapes a specific element.
Every open source project has someone (or some group) in control, and contributions can't land without their say so. But anyone who feels that the current leadership is doing it wrong can fork the code and try to persuade people to use their version. This is very important to the way open source software works.

Google have a level of control beyond that: they undermine anyone trying to fork Android by not letting them use Google's apps and services (even as they allow such use on competing systems like iOS).
It's not just that, either: it's that single people can be reasoned with, but large numbers of people can't be. If you have a mob boss, you can make a deal with him and he'll enforce it on his side for you, but if there are a hundred random guys, you have to make a deal with all of them.

Democracy very quickly makes plain the scope of this challenge, and it's why it works with so much less effort on small scales.

I think alot of people misunderstand what open source means. It's nothing more than allowing people to see the source code, and use it (including forking).

Open source doesn't require you to cooperate with anyone, it doesn't require you to give away access to APIs, it doesn't require you to do anything beyond whatever is explicitly stated in the license.

Google, Canonical, Oracle, IBM, Red Hat, SUSE, etc... aren't required to be good team players or corporate citizens. They're just required to abide by the terms of the licenses on code they use...
Wouldn't that become quite a bit of book keeping though?

I taught for over 3 years, high school social studies. At times it was amazing (usually when you recognize you made a breakthrough moment with a student), however it was mostly brutal.

Grading is endless. Lesson planning is also non stop. I would always look at my plans and wonder -- is this good enough? Can I make this better? How can I engage the students?

What pushed me over the top was a brand-new principal who tried way too many initiatives all at once. At that point I knew I had to get out -- and do something else.

And now I'm in web development, making way more money that I did as a teacher, and actually enjoying my work!

Oh, and that first-year principal? He was fired a year later.

Also, feel free to pass the link on to anyone to take- I encourage it. The more data I can get the better the fake graphs will look. Anyway, Thanks for participating- if you do. If don’t want to… no hard feelings.

You can be a mediocre programmer and do great things. You can be a great programmer and not achieve the success relative to your level. It's all completely relative. I'm an ok-to-decent programmer and turned a sizeable profit on $7k worth of time. I'm not putting my kids through college but improved my family's life and I'm content with that.

Learn as much as you can. Build often even if they never see the light of day. You will always improve your skills by being active in it. At some point it will make you better for you. Don't compare yourself to others. Be better than you used to be. You'll be fine.

Not putting Brazil there is kinda silly, specially when it is a country that spans so much of South America that I bet some brazillians will put north south america while others will put south south america... (Also important: brazil vs rest of south america is more relevant, considering brazil went with a fairly unique culture, ie: not hispaniard, also Argentina in comparison to the rest of South America has a very high amount of caucasians, making it also quite unique compared to the rest, although, ie: having a european culture mixed with spain culture, instead of the usual spain mixed with native america)
>Southern North America (eg. Mexico)

>Northern part of South America

>Souther part of South America

Looks needlessly fragmented and imprecise. What is 'Southern part of South America'? Cono Sur? Then Brazilians from Minas Gerais and Porto Alegre are in different groups? Was that the intention? Why 'Southern North America' and not Central America? Where does Caribbean belong? Middle Asia (say, Kazakhstan)? Is Spain Western Europe or Southern Europe? Is Czech Republic Eastern Europe or Western Europe (since you don't offer 'Central Europe' as an option and some Czechs may be unhappy with identifying as Eastern Europeans)? Is Estonia in Eastern Europe? It damn well is in Eastern Europe, but some Estonians identify Estonia as Scandinavian.

Next time you guys should use some well established scheme such as this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme and just link to it in the post so no one is confused.

This is exactly the position Microsoft was in during the mid-1990s, even before they went after Netscape. The article is saying that Google is even applying some of the same strong-arm tactics to keep OEMs in line. Fortunately, Google can point to Apple and say they're not a monopoly the way Microsoft was in its market. Plus, Android still looks really open compared to iOS.
"debt limit denial" is only a small part of the problem. The other half is the expectation that 1) threatening something that hurts the country(which he admits) is a good thing if you can pass your political program and 2) the other party will simply fold and its members will pass your program

1 simply denies that the opposing party should be able to represent itself in the democratic process but 2 is simply bizarre. No one is going to help their opponents pass their agenda on the basis that if they don't the other party will cause the economy to collapse. If that worked, the Soviet Union would have threatened to start a nuclear war anytime they wanted something and would expect the United States to back down.

The line of reasoning that validates such a tactic is just totally bizarre. Even if you can get some type of leverage over the other party you will never get enough concessions to justify the economic damage. Economic damage occurs in the present while entitlement spending cuts occur in the future. Even if the economic damage is minimal it seems quite a stretch to assume that statutory changes today are the only way to stop a future congress from overspending. This hypothetical future congress would be perfectly capable of cutting spending on its own.

Example of Feminism mixed with childlessness:

No one's saying authors shouldn't care about the appearance of their book, they're saying it should be decoupled from the production of the manuscript. You can productively worry about the appearance after you get the "nice list of words, with chapters" aspect of the manuscript down; that's the logical structure, and, obviously, the hard part. The point is that you don't need a perfect WYSIWYG editor for the manuscript.
