Maybe it is interesting for you to know, maybe not. Probably not.
Thing about China's railway needs is that it has population density. That makes it a lot easier to charge a cheaper price for tickets that look affordable and worthwhile to passengers, and still turn a healthy profit for the operator.
India is a sovereign country, their laws don't need to make sense.

> These acts were designed to force them to "partner" with an Indian company.

FWIW, China does this in just about any manufacturing/tech-related sector, and it's been pretty successful for them. The not-very-hidden intent of the requirement is to ensure that there's a Chinese partner who, it is hoped, will gain enough expertise from the joint venture to jettison the foreign partner in the next iteration (this might include "borrowing" some trade secrets). Hence e.g. Exxon's plants in China are all joint ventures, because they aren't allowed to open fully self-owned/operated plants.
To be completely fair to Redactor, I don't think that it produced the 'Divs containing nothing but BRs'. I just made a few paragraphs in redactor in it marked them appropriately as <p>. I think that, given that that site was used as an example of allowing someone to let the html by hand, the errors you point out may very well likely be errors introduced by the person writing the html by hand.
I am just saying that GPS is not reliable and should not be used in high-risk cases. There is no "evil mustache twirling", any teenager will do it as a joke.
I hope so, too. Then we'll probably see an Indian-based search engine, like Yandex in Russia or Baidu in China, and it would be for the better for Indians.

But I doubt Google will quit. Google is trying to give people Internet in Africa, so they can one day be the main search engine there, too. Compared to that they are in a much better position in India, even if not everyone there has Internet now.

Clickbait title: Windows Phone didn't "overtake" Blackberry so much as the Blackberry sales declined below the entirely flat sales of Windows Phone.

This is an article that describes the continued decline of Blackberry sales, as compared with the flat sales of Windows Phone; which shouldn't really seem newsworthy.
According to a Microsoft survey, India is the third worst country in the world for online bullying[1]. The same survey showed that 54% of Indian students report being bullied offline, and 50% report having bullied someone offline. I think you are quite mistaken in your assessment of your schools.

Studies have shown bullying to be universal among not only humans, but all primates and many social mammals[2] (such as rats and dolphins). Among human societies, bullying is present across the board, from hunter gatherer groups through post industrial societies.

That isn't to say that it can't or shouldn't be dealt with, but you are dead wrong when you say it isn't universal.

The idea that I'm talking about is that the reward from a company is proportional to the risk taken. My example shows that small companies can sometimes impose a greater risk to their founders than the risk taken by the founders of Facebook or Google.

A very niche market in which I fill myself inn, was developing something just for me and got the idea of offering it to others. I have just one client (so I don't qualify to "successful"), but I'm following patio11 advice of offering services do niche underserved markets. Does anyone has any advice?

My biggest problem is how to market to such a niche. I'm trying to email people, but the people in niche are really non-computer users, so it is difficult.
Whenever I read a story like this I inevitably remember Greenspan. Its always good to start with an extreme to begin with whats wrong with most systems today.

As he once said - there shouldn't be any law against financial fraud; as the markets themselves will take care of that.

And he himself got away with all the mess by saying there was a flaw in his model of the world.
In the example I gave (Facebook), there is no indication that the founder gave up on the degree until the company had already some traction.
Developed countries won't change rules for the past, since it is quite impossible to follow them...it just doesn't make sense. I'm also thinking of Nokia and uncertain tax liabilities, India is just a horrible place to do business these days, it's riskier than even china.

I've worked goffconcepts.com full time since 2003 entirely alone (the "we" is my wife). My new product FileSearchEX is highly pirated so I'll probably be moving on to other things. I only recommend SaaS, forget about fat client software. The search engines enable a very toxic landscape otherwise.
GPLv2 says: "You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.".

GPLv3 explicit says: "not allow patents to restrict development and use of software"

GPLv3 also say that you can not use hardware restrictions as a trick to circumventing the no-further-restrictions legal requirement.

One could argue that GPLv2 already include everything GPLv3 do in form of that single line. Doing such interpretation would for all practical purposes upgrade every gplv2-only project to the same conditions as of GPLv3 (but with fewer license compatibilities). The FSF clearly decided not to go that route, and created the GPLv3.

Gosh pinegrow is a cool project, but the massive deal breaker for me is a lack of a Linux client :( any chance of that at all? For distribution (cause packaging is a bitch, to be honest) you can use something like Ermine to compile twice (i386 and x64) and then convert to a single static binary.

For now, I'll continue playing with it on my Mac, but Linux support would be the best.
It's tough to try to spin a $5b fine on a large company as a 'win' for consumers, but I see you'll give it a shot. Isn't this tacit admission that the different soda brands can only compete by legislative fiat? The only winners are the ersatz soda companies, and consumers pay significant costs, direct and indirect, in compliance with these kinds of market protection schemes.
Right, but the train is making multiple stops. People like to talk about the total length of the line, and some people will certainly ride from terminus to terminus, but the vast majority of riders will be traveling much shorter distances that are much more competitive with flying. Around the world the mode share split between flying and high speed rail has been around 50% when the rail trip is four hours, and there are plenty of segments on this line that are shorter than four hours.
So many disagree with this proposition because it does not convey the meaning you apparently intend. "Most powerful" might conceivably be a relative measure, but there's no way that "richest" is. Most nations of Europe (probably not Moldova, Slovenia, and a few others), on both a total and per capita basis, consume much more than anyone on that list. In a military contest most modern European nations would by more concerned about veterinary care for the enemy's horses, than the military outcome.

Next time you intend to make a relative statement, use the word "relative". Of course, that was not what the post to which you responded was discussing, so your post would have been more obviously beside the point.
Taking one argument for horribly bad designed "smart devices" (the current generation of smart watches) and applying it to a different field altogether (airplanes and cars) is absolute utter bollocks.

First of all, most of all civil aviation disasters in history have been caused by human error[0] (or, in at least 4 incredibly famous examples, human intention). Yes, humans have lost their lives to technology failing, but the assertion that the pilots always are able to do something if they had just been more aware and given control of the dozens of subsystems that a commercial jet controls behind the scenes is rather ridiculous. The "Shit Happens" factor exists for any level of technology.

Or the idea that human beings can react faster than a computer can in the one or two seconds of a car accident. The same car that is able to detect the fact you're trying to leave your lane when you accidentally fall asleep at the wheel and try to wake you up or keep you in lane, the same car that is able to fire airbags in the milliseconds after a major deceleration or impact event. The same car that prevents your brakes from locking up and tries to prevent your car from hydroplaning when you decide to speed over that puddle of water because you're late and speed limits are just a government ploy or some other bogus Libertarian rationale.

People will die driving in self-driving cars. This will happen some time in the future - it's an inevitability. But it is incredibly difficult to believe that figure will be anywhere near the scale of the ~35,000 automotive deaths per year in the United States we average now.

If we take the obviously huge leap to compare air travel's legendary reliability thanks in a big part to autopiloting, equipment redundancy, regular inspections and maintenance, and so forth to self-driving cars, we'd believe the deaths to be on the order of 35 or less a year. Cars may never be that reliable due to other factors (like all of the vehicles being on the same plane of travel), but it's still far more likely to be an overall win.

Yes, progress in technology is a horrible, horrible thing. Let's just put our heads back into the dirt and pretend it isn't happening.

Yes and people only live in areas where they have a way to get food, air and water. A business can't function without profits. Naturally, a business owner will spend their energy on addressing needs through a model that can sustain itself.

Others may choose to go the non-profit route and try to sustain themselves through grants/subsidies/benefactors/etc. There are 1.5 million non-profits in the US [1].

One way or another, the organization has to sustain itself.

Microsoft risks security reputation ruin by retiring XP
You have a typo in your title.
This has very little to do with national moods/prejudices and much more to do with boring/atypical industries vs. hot consumer ones. ONO got no attention largely because it's "boring" to a mass audience. There are plenty of examples of this domestically, e.g.

+ Child focused ecommerce company Zulily filed a $2.6B IPO, but got very little attention.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6740927

I'd also note that there are blinders even within the startup community. I've submitted plenty of stories about under-the-radar startups that die on the vine because the companies are more focused on execution that cultivating a PR rep that would earn media and upvotes.

+ Wayfair, a bootstrapped ecommerce company raised $165MM in its "Series A" and barely got a notice here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3625381

+ Here's another example of HN blindness: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3625381

+ Nearly a quarter of the top 20 projects on Kickstarter are board games—can you remember the last story you read about one? A couple have raised more than Oculus Rift or Formlabs, but get no attention because they're "boring," while these hardware cos earn magazine covers and lavish praise.

+ Mailchimp is easily a $100MM+ in revenue company that was bootstrapped, but they're rarely profiled.

The reality is the tech news reported by most of the big names is just the most "exciting" tip of the iceberg. There are plenty of worthy stories that just won't generate page views and hence don't get the attention they "deserve," if coverage was apportioned by success measured in dollars or reach rather than pageviews.
I like the idea of the cheap bastard plan of s3stat. Very well done and well presented.

Nope if the employer screws up badly by not having a grievance/discipline procedure its automatically unfair.

There are some interesting comments here. My take on the story, as someone who went to a UK comprehensive school in the late '70s early '80s, is that bright people have always been a target at such schools for bullying and current teachers are less able to control the disruptive elements than in the past.

Indeed, there is apparently a tendency to treat them as having medical issues rather than punishing them.

I do not say that you are not right, but I have another possible explanation, which is that US companies might be louder and/or do better marketing.

Also yes, Ono is simply less known throughout Europe. Ono as far as I know has now global marketplace, but Whatsapp does.
There isn't a direct relationship between a specific tax and where the tax is spent.
Nonsense. Some one complained and CCI is investigating and Google will act as per the verdict. Where is bullying in this? What else Govt. is supposed to do? Do not investigate?

Many companies get investigated in the America/west/China for various reasons. We all see that in news. All of that is bullying?

Do not bring old cases into the current context. Also, Google know rules before operating in India. Do not they?

[quote]"The American Dream", self-motivation, entrepreneurship and "pushing the frontier" are all good things IMHO.[/quote]

Everything in moderation. Here in the US, however, moderation has no place. It's all or nothing mentality, like a fricking casino bet. Fair compensation for effort is dead when everybody is taking risks for maximum rewards and training their work-force to pander the lowest common denominator... the hard sell. Everywhere I go retail workers are badgering me to upsell, banks & home improvement chains are the worst, IMO. That's what happens when there are 100's of candidates for every job opening and all the competition has been killed off by the oligops. Everywhere you go in the US, if it's a large enough customer base, it's oligops all the way down.

> However, they aren't the same as "unreflectingly capitalistic" and "pre-occupied with monetary success".

They have become inextricably linked. Maybe early in the 19th C. you'd be right. After the rise of american industry and maufacture and its corresponding propaganda (edison, etc.) AND after the cold war, "capitalism", "democracy", "patriotism" all became intertwined. Such that today The American Dream is almost purely capitalist and pragmatic.

The American Dream has, to my eyes, for a long time been directed towards individuals - it is their dream. A person achieves their dream. Once, perhaps, The American Dream was a dream for Americans - a common enterprise, with common goals, something achieved for everyone or no one, etc.

The author of this article did not explain why ONO was part of a common enterpise, which its activity was making all our lives better and helping us achieve our ideals. He said,

"built originally by Eugenio Galdon and mostly by my friend Richard Alden between 2001 and 2011, is in the process of being sold to Vodafone for around $9.5bn, and nobody cares."

If that's doesnt read hollow and pathetic to you I dont know what could. It's complete mythologising of two people "building" a company, it's display of hurt feeling over the fact that $10bn doesnt impress people enough, its utter pre-occupation with self-aggrandizement and money.

The rhetoric in this article is almost suffocating its message and very few can tell - because this rhetoric has become the language in which we phrase our dreams today.

as technology improves and time pass seems obvious that mankind is richer and have better military than the past. You can probably say that nowadays Slovenia could win against 1600 Spanish empire, so the only comparison that is reasonable a relative comparison, that's why I didn't specify.

I agree that it wasn't the main point of the post i was replying to but I found that point just smug and incorrect, backed-up with cultural bias rather than historical fact.

Which is not bad if that floating point type is decimal. All of your integers do what they're supposed to. In addition, things like the standard programming fail of using "i += 0.1;" as a loop iterator actually work when you use decimal floating point.

Also, things like converting to/from strings become operations with a priori bounded limits just by taking a quick look at the number of digits if you have decimal floating point.

This is not true for binary floating point. There is a reason why printf libraries are so blasted huge and have malloc issues--it's the binary floating point conversions.

Much of the stupidity we encounter in dealing with floating point (inexact numbers on exact decimals, silly rounding, inability to handle significant figures, weird conversion to/from strings) simply goes away if you use decimal floating point.

In addition, if you go back through the ECMAScript archives, they actually thought about this back in ECMAScript4 but rejected it for some good reasons. I don't agree with those reasons, but they did think about and discuss them.
