Reading this, I realize that almost everything is a case for localism, since we now have nuclear weapons and international instantaneous communications that mean trying to invade a small country is much less reasonable (unless you are Russia).

I mean, that is (in part) why the Greek model failed. Small countries are vulnerable to conquest. But today that is not much of a problem, so I hope the natural social pressure to minimize can overcome the entrenched imperialistic powers that hold a lot of the larger nations together. It just makes more sense to me to, say, have 50 countries and a EU in the US instead of one massively overbearing federal that has authority over a land area competing with continental Europe.
Cleaning fees make perfect sense to me. When renting a house out, if I stay 1 night, the owner has to clean the house once. If I stay 1 week, the owner has to clean the house once. Seems like this is just matching pricing to costs.
It is all about how you use the tool. For instance, our "tasks" (similar to bugs, perhaps) are generally large and not well defined. This makes it hard to break a large task down into smaller tasks. Without smaller tasks, it appears as if you're doing nothing at work all day.
I love Ansible.

What's scary about shell scripts is the lack of idempotence (if you accidentally run them twice, things break).

What's annoying about chef/puppet is the bootstrapping overhead -- you can't start from a blank slate system, because you still need to install puppet-client or ruby+dependencies. So now you're paying to store a bunch of semi-pre-configured images with some out-of-date ruby gems or an old puppet-client. If you want to start from a blank image, then you're using shell scripts to install the toolchain that will let you avoid using shell scripts (or worse - doing it by hand!).

Ansible is idempotent ssh + shell scripting, so it solves the 'blank slate' problem nicely. It only requires python, which is bundled by default on ubuntu servers.
CoreData actually has the option of using SQLite as the underlying datastore. The other alternative is a proprietary binary store. I think there is also an XML store. CoreData is an abstraction level higher than SQLite. It's similar to an ORM or graph database where it manages the relationships between objects for you. So if you don't need all the features of CoreData, SQLite is lighter and simpler.

Everyone does that now. Delta, BA, AA, Virgin, etc. I can think of very few airlines that give you free seat selection before check-in.

I don't agree with it, but it is the way things have gone for all airlines. Just like baggage fees on local flights (even though that causes mass delays during boarding since now everyone is trying to show too much into cramp overhead lockers).
Sure, it kind of makes sense for managing the software repository of your operating system. But when doing software development, you end up with multiple projects using multiple versions of the same dependency. I mean I tried going the apt-get route back when I was working with Perl - a lot of people in the Perl community like apt-get and there are tools for easily packaging a library into a deb, but it was a pain working on or deploying multiple projects on the same machine.

Everyone has to resolve their immediate dependencies anyway to push it to pip or whatever else, or nobody can install it. The only additional dependency to push it to Nix would be the language interpreter.

Nix doesn't require you to specify the entire dependency tree; each dependency specifies its own dependencies, and those are resolved during the build process.

(For the record, at least Haskell, Python, and node.js packages are pulled into the nixpkgs tree from their respective package repositories regularly, albeit many missing native dependencies; there's a separate file that you can edit and send a pull request for packages which have native dependencies.)
Fine. Then announce the fixed fees upfront.

Announcing "x per night, y fixed cost" is different from announcing "x per night" but then tacking in the charge for y at the last minute.

I am confused. As marketers, surely you are familiar with the old adage "you get what you pay for." I feel this applies directly in outsourcing -- skilled labour does not come cheap.

How can you be confident in results for such large data research pulls (which take time) when effectively scraping the bottom of the barrel of freelancers with such insultingly low outsourcing budgets?

Furthermore, I don't particularly agree with the assertion that you can fully decouple the research process from domain expertise. Should a problem arise, understanding of the project, background, and goals is key to deciding a course of action, especially if you're outsourcing some analytics.
That's not the case - I flew with them a few weeks ago. Turns out in order to print the return journey boarding pass more than a week in advance you need to pre-book a seat (for a cost). Not great if you're going away for two weeks without guaranteed access to a printer.

That's obviously not how taxes work.

If that was how taxes worked, everyone would move to Texas, Florida, Washington for the lack of state income taxes. And or every state in the US would have zero income tax.

And every company on earth would be in Ireland. Or every country would already have 0% corporate income taxes by now.

And the US would have lowered its corporate tax rates a very long time ago because they would have to in order to compete.

And countries with high personal income taxes (eg France) would be 'forced' to lower their income tax rates to compete with low income tax rate countries.

While you see relatively small scale effects like this, it is not as dramatic as you make it out to be. There would be no race to zero.

In fact, there is zero evidence of your scenario having ever played out on a global scale in the past century of well monitored public economic data. If a race to zero were even possible, it would have already been forced into existence, as any variance would be enough to trigger the beginning.
That's not how the legal system works in America. The process is the punishment. The software pirates have $2 million of somebody else's money that they can burn up going through a multi-year process.

My suggestion would you find an experienced patent troll (er, I mean, intellectual property broker) and offer them a piece of the action if they can help you squeeze as much as possible out of your adversary. They presumably have the capital, skill, and ability to endure the legal process.

Stalled? It just had an update.

It's also in the 3rd version, under development, which came just a couple of months after the 2nd version had been released. He could just have released ST2 and keep it at that version for 3-4 years.

Instead he immediately started development ST3, which had frenetic development in the first months, and has been completely stable for a year or more (I know, I use it everyday, along with several plugins).

And in the forum he even mentioned ST4 base libs he is preparing a month or so ago.

> Friendly relations is a prerequisite for compromise which is a prerequisite for progress.

Ask a professional diplomat whether this idea is true. Israelis and Palestinians achieve compromises all the time -- they're fragile and short-lived, but they're certainly compromises.

Unions and management come to compromises regularly, after sometimes bloody demonstrations (in the early days of the organized labor movement).

In a now-famous story from 1943 Berlin, a group of wives of Jewish men protested and demonstrated against the regime's plan to round up and exterminate their husbands. Because the demonstration took place in Berlin, because of its size and international visibility, and because the wives were not themselves Jewish, the Nazis reached a compromise -- the men were released.

Reference: http://nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/german-wives-win-re...

Quote: "As the women continued to protest at Rosenstrasse into March 6, the German leadership finally gave in, even as 25 of the intermarried Jews were being deported to Auschwitz. The Nazi Propaganda Minister, Goebbels released the remaining intermarried Jews in an attempt to maintain the visage of conformity in Berlin. The protests of Aryan women against the internment of their Jewish husbands had shown open dissent to the Nazi program and for Goebbels (with Hitler’s approval), it was more important to eliminate this dissent by releasing those Jews than to allow such dissent to be visible to other Germans or international bodies. Thirty-five intermarried Jews that had already been sent to Auschwitz were also returned. While twenty-five of the detainees were not released, thirty-five intermarried Jews that had already been sent to Auschwitz were also returned to Berlin."

In reality, this is proven false every day.

Why on earth would you do business with a company that makes you "<feel> cheated"? RyanAir ran off all of the other airlines? They had the only flight to Dublin to see your poor, sick mother? Flights so cheap that you're willing to put up with the bullshit? It's an honest question, and I've heard some answer it with "they're so cheap, I'm willing to put up with dealing with weasels." But it sounds like the whole weasel-dealing thing isn't for you.

One of the reasons I fly SouthWest, even when they're not the cheapest or most convenient, is because I don't feel like I need to watch my back when dealing with them.

Show HN: Verbr – Reddit between friends
www.verbr.com

My vision for verbr is a social network full of great content. A place where I can go to discover and share the content on the web... Without having to read a status update or 140 characters about what people in my network did on the weekend, or how much they love their cat.

A content only social network.

Like Reddit, people can only share on Verbr when they paste a link (we allow them to add a 60 character caption, to add context to their post).

Users each have a Verbr score (Think Reddit Karma) which shows how much people liked their content.

As a co-founder, I should probably say that Verbr is a complete game-changer that will revolutionise social media...

The truth is that it is not. I do however feel that it is a great product that could provide a much needed service to a lot of people.

Feel free to sign up and have a look around.

Then people are "increasingly" using it incorrectly. Europe is a continent, the EU is a political alliance. There are too many countries within Europe but not in the EU to use the terms synonymously. For example:

Albania, Andorra, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Norway, Russia, San Marino, Serbia, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, Vatican City

I think it is pretty interesting that I got heavily downvoted for pointing out that the person above me conflated Europe and the EU and then tried to correct someone else based on that misunderstanding. This place is turning into Reddit more and more day by day, people are using the down arrow as a "I disagree" button... Which is exactly why Reddit has gone right down the toilet.
