I think the "bullshitness" of a job is determined primarily by the person that does the job, if she judges it to be socially useful or not (under assumption that being the person doing the job, that is an expert, she is the most qualified to judge its utility).

So, someone creating a "phoney" friendly atmosphere is a bullshit job, even if it increases the bar attendance, while a genuine entertainer (like a magician) is not a bullshit job. Even though both may be payed the same, both may have to smile when they don't really have reason to, and both may lie (in case of magician). The dividing line is that phoney friendly atmosphere is not socially useful thing (as judged by both by people who do it and common sense), while a magic trick may be.

> You can't ignore pleasure and satisfaction of other people when considering a job is useful or not.

Extreme example would be a drug dealer - his job is not useful yet he provides pleasure and satisfaction (and also gets it himself, in making money). It's not necessarily a bullshit job, because drug dealer does not have to care about it being socially useful.

To be honest I can't say I have any good memory of Sourceforge. It used to a heavy website with a confusing UI, and never really got better over the years. When Google Code started, I was glad I could move to it, and then GitHub.
Can Archive.org/etc backup all the open source projects from Sourceforge.org and Google Code? It would be a big loss if the unmaintained but often still very useful source code get lost forever.
Yes, but that's because it was irrelevant. The same rule (albeit more enforced) could be used for tax purposes in this case.

I hate how the little 'action dot' or whatever they call it moves around. On their colour palette video[1] you can see it sliding all over the place depending on the screen size. Why can't it just go in the top right like it always has been, instead of playing a game of 'hunt the dot'? I always have to remember to look at the bottom of my diary on my phone to add a new entry now which is pretty unintuitive for me :-(

> The problem in the UK is that companies can still deduct the mortgage interest, this puts people who buy property to rent out at an advantage.

Not just companies in the usually-understood sense; private landlords can deduct mortgage interest on the property they let as an expense to reduce their tax bill. No need to set up a company or actually declare yourself as self-employed or whatever. (Conceptually they are running a business, but there's no need for a company.)
I read last week's Economist.

I agree that mortgage interest payments should not be tax-deductible for individuals. This distorted house prices in the UK until MIRAS was abolished many years ago, but the same situation exists today in the USA.

I disagreed with most of the rest, which addressed interest paid by businesses. I don't agree that interest payments are a special type of business expense that should be treated differently from others (like rent). If you accept that businesses should be taxed based on the profit they make, then singling out interest as a non-tax-deductible expense means that some businesses would pay profits tax, even when their accounts show zero or negative profit. It would also create perverse incentives:

- If I need capital for my business, but don't want to give up control, I will have to create an additional class of shares, and issue more shares whenever I need to 'borrow' more money

- If I need equipment for my business, I'll try and rent it instead of buying it, even though I intend to use the equipment until it's on its last legs. Oh, and the deal I'll strike will take this into account, so under IFRS it will be classed as a finance lease, so my controller will need to spend time explaining that to the auditors. Yay.
That's why I like inotify in blocking mode - the call to poll() is just to wake up the process (I think you could just blocking-read the inotify file handle? I haven't tried it directly). The point of using inotify is that you don't need to poll, because the kernel send your process reliable events instead over a file handle. The use of poll(2) is just a consequence of the interface using a file handle.

As, I originally said, though, there is certainly no one-size-fits-all solution, these are just a few of the available options, which may not be apropriate for your situation.

I guess it's like C++. You can use the new features if you want, you don't really have to. Some teams will decide on a subset of "safe" features of the language to use. I'm waiting for something like JavaScript the Good Parts II to come out and give an indication of what I should probably avoid.

Is stripe popular because it's cheaper than paypal and also doesn't have an API & payment flow that looks like a train wreck?
I'd like to just clarify one thing - of course everyone can ignore the new features when writing their code, but no one can ignore them when reading other people's code. Undoubtedly, a JS programmer must get a handle on them all, sooner or later.

Thanks for the es-discuss suggestion, it's cool that the process is open like that.
Its already a thing, but its expensive so tends not to be offered, although Amazon will arrange pick up for a small fee.
Very helpful. Thanks for the explanation.
I still land on SF now and then, to download sources that are hosted there. But that only happens because another site's “Download” button sent me there. In the beginning I was very impressed with SF. But as others have said, the UI is rather confusing and those ads they've been showing would devalue any site they run on to “lower-tier crap you need rubber gloves for”. A sad development.
Yeah, I've had what you describe happen - the third party seller UI is a bit wonky, especially when you're filtering by prime. Whenever I've specifically grabbed the prime version, I've gotten it within two days.

I'm not sure I understand your point.

Let's say I run a lemonade stand as an individual, and this year the stand makes a profit of $100,000. Let's say individual income tax is 30%. I'd pay $30,000 tax, right? So I'd be left with $70,000 in my pocket.

What if I had decided to set up the lemonade stand as a corporation instead? The corporation would pay some sort of profits tax (say 20%, so $20,000). There's now only $80,000 for me. But I have to pay personal tax of 30% of the $80k, so in this scenario I walk away with only $56k.

Why should the total tax take in the two scenarios be different?

How could I change the second scenario, to preserve the corporate structure, but maximise the money in my pocket?

Understanding other people's code is never easy and I get that new language features make it seem even more daunting.

But it is always a useful process to go through, more so when it exposes you to new ideas, patterns and idioms. These features seem intimidating because they are unfamiliar to you, but they won't be unfamiliar forever. I guarantee it.
No, but as someone who doesn't write JavaScript at all, I would like the JS engine that comes with a graphical web browser to be simpler than the expanding spec makes possible. I mostly browse with Lynx anyways, but there's a legitimate concern about how much browser developers are being expected to support here, and what the implications of that are.

Looking at the source, I noticed this uses RequireJS, which provoked in me a slight feeling of nostalgia. That's rather telling, since it's probably less than three years since RequireJS was absolutely the first choice as far as JavaScript module libraries went.

> You can get tankotsu anywhere

First it's tonkotsu(豚骨). not trying to be snarky. Just passing on info. But second, at least in my experience, all tonkotsu in LA sucks except Tsujita. And even Tsujita sucks unless you get their tsukemen or as they call them "dipping noodles".

Or course everything in food is subjective. I like extremely rich flavorful noodles. Some people like light flavors.

As for tantanmen, apparently real tantanmen (if you can call any food real) is the Chinese kind where there's a thick oily spice sauce at the bottom of the bowl and you have to stir it up. In other words there's no soup.

In Japan there's another style of tantanmen which is has a soup broth. As usual there's a wide variety from light to heavy. The light stuff is not for me but the heavy stuff is AMAZING!!!!

As someone that have worked in the CMS space for quite a while (and ended up implementing a couple from scratch) I welcome any new solutions that are not antiquated.

One thing that I've learned during that time (and does not apply only to CMS's but that the time I fully realized it) is that everything you build in your CMS should always keep in mind who is the main user and who is the main consumer. The first one I've developed focused on the consumers. And every content creator hated me sooooo much. I went back to the drawing board... no actually I sit with almost each editor and looked at how they bitched and tried to find workarounds. It was an eye opening experience.

There's nothing special about a bank's business model that requires its profits to be taxed differently from those of other companies.

Incidentally, your characterisation of banks as wholesale brokers of debt is not strictly true. Sure, banks do broker lending transactions between parties. Sure, they do sometimes act as servicers for paper which is held by other investors. However banks are, in the main, risk machines. They borrow money (on their own account) and lend it to others (on their own account). Depositors are their suppliers, and borrowers are their customers. In this activity, they are not brokers. They are wholesalers/retailers, just like other trading companies.
Before you enter the demo they say "(Read only! You'll get an error if you try to save anything. A complete and fully working example is included in the source distribution.)"

Exactly! And, as such, they should advertise it as it is. Merely graphical stuff, not an UI revolution, not better usability nor UX (where are the tests saying so?). I wish they just admit that they're trying to make something which looks cool (nothing wrong with that), not necessarily better UX-wise.
There's many kinds of ramen. Pork is one of the most common. There's chicken ramen. There's salt ramen. There's soy sauce ramen. There's miso ramen. And there's every combination. Soy+Miso+Chicken, Chicken+Pork, Pork+Sardine+Miso, Salt+Shrimp+Pork, Tomato, Cheese :P

You will find it hard to know for sure if there's no pork though because even if it's labeled salt-ramen if you look at the details it might say made with pork as well.

But in this activity the interest they receive on their assets (their lending) is not a revenue. What is revenue to a bank is the different between the interest received and the interest paid plus any other fee.

And by wholesale broker I also included retail deposits.

Quite simply, The saas model is a much easier support model and for that reason and that reason alone I'd vote for it. All code lives on machines and infrastructure you control and there's tremendous power that comes from that particularly in the early days.

OP isn't just saying that crime is unreported. Because if all crime everywhere is unreported we can still compare Coventry with other towns, and when we do that we see that coventry has a lower than average crime rate. OP is claiming that Coventry is unique in having under reported crime and that everywhere else is accurate.

But not only that. There are other statistics - the british crime survey - (and these are robust statistics) that do not rely on crime reported to police. And OP is again claiming that Coventry is unique in reporting very low rates of crime while everywhere else reports accurate rates of crime.

But even if we assume that's true - that Coventry is unique in reporting and surveying low rates of crime while everywhere else is accurate - there are other indicators of crime. We'd expect to see higher rates for car insurace, and we don't. We'd expect to see higher rates of home contents insurance, and we don't.

OP is subject to a pretty obvious confirmation bias. "I had my bicycles stolen, and this i know Coventry is high in crime", and now they reject anything that points the other way. When you ask OP about the evidence they just come back with anecdote, when you show OP anything that contradicts that they say it's wrong (not just wrong, but wrong in very particular ways).
Interestingly, the UK didn't used to tax dividends twice. This practice only started in 1999. Prior to that, dividends issued by UK companies were treated as if the recipient had already paid income tax on the amounts received. Only if the recipient was a higher rate taxpayer, were they on the hook for (just) the excess.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_corporation_tax
Why should the total tax take in the two scenarios be different?

Why shouldn't they? They are two different situations. Different situations can lead to different outcomes.
a) I wouldn't confuse your pricing model with the delivery model here. You can certainly charge monthly for downloadable self-hosted software or charge once for SaaS hosted in the cloud.

b) If you're in email, and you're not working with clients at the very, very top of the sophistication chain, you should not expect them to host their own email servers because their deliverability will be terrible. I suppose you could theoretically let them use your product with a bring-your-own-MSA, but that should probably be in-scope for your product. (You'd also be crazy to do this yourself, but you can use an MSA on the backend, like substantially every company providing UI and logic on top of email does.)

c) The operational difficulties of doing release cycles and maintenance for client-hosted software, particularly hosted software which has to play well with client-provided infrastructure, strongly, strongly, strongly suggest you host things yourself.
Amazon's Prime 2-day delivery completely changed my ability to wait for gratification. For deliveries that take the normal 5 days, I'm finding myself checking Delivery app a couple of times every day, hoping that something is wrong with the details and I'll actually receive my box sooner.

A couple of examples:

1. I have bought a couple of things from Massdrop and because these were estimated to arrive in about 2 weeks, I was initially very annoyed and then totally forgot about them

2. I have chosen a product based on how soon it'll be delivered (I didn't actually need it urgently) instead of just considering the product qualities.

I still have a project hosted on Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pinyinput/).

They haven't injected their own installer on downloads so for the time being I leave it there because I'm too lazy to move it off.
