That's an interesting comparison, thanks for posting it. I'd love to see something similar for some other countries famous for high taxes and high social services, e.g., Sweden.

The article clearly states that Coralmyn would have been on the market, except for FDA approval. The demand is low, I agree, but regulatory overhead made the difference between producing something and producing nothing.

Fascinating. I had no idea that anti-venoms make for such a great example of regulatory failure: a completely strangled market and the resulting dangerous shortages.

Because of the way SVN expects on-server merges, you may see some strange looking merge history when working with someone using Subversion. I'm genuinely curious: what use case justifies this? Correct and clean merges and history are a ma

As I noted, 1.8.7 produces a hash collision for [2, 3] and [4, 5]. 1.9.1-p376 has exactly the same behavior. I reiterate: the Hash object is unreliable, regardless of the runtime version. Based on such nasty behavior in such a simple case,

Why I don't love Ruby: Ruby 1.8.6: require 'set' [[5, 6].to_set].to_set == [[5, 6].to_set].to_set => false Meaning, two identical objects are not equal. This is fixed in 1.8.7, but: Ruby 1.8.7: require 'set' [

What does skill have to do with anything? Pure programming is an answer in search of questions. Programming helps solve problems, but without knowledge of other fields, a programmer, no matter how good, has no idea what problems to attack.

A nice quote from the last chapter: Programming as a profession is only moderately interesting. It can be a good job, but if you want to make about the same money and be happier you could actually just go run a fast food joint. You are muc

I try to do my programming in either Common Lisp or Clojure, with a REPL connected to a SLIME instance in Emacs. I can use these tools on any host OS, but prefer the Mac. It's such an amazing combination of tools that everything else feels

I think it can, but the sale counts as a liquidity event, which means the LLC's members must pay taxes on the income they derive from the sale. That's why you have to get bulletproof tax advice. In addition, there may be issues with securit

Do you really need to do both? Seems to me you should lose fat first, for the health benefits if nothing else. Try two things: rowing and push-ups. Rowing is spectacularly good cardiovascular exercise, and once you work your way up to 45+ m

Hack for making steel-cut oats quicker: soak the portion you plan to cook overnight. Cuts cooking time down to about 15 minutes. Tastes exactly the same (IMO). If you like to add cinnamon, or dried apricots, raisins, or dates or whatever, d

Looks fun. One of the few remaining complaints I have about Clojure is the lack of a Lisp-style debugger, and Jarc has one. No compiler, though.

Mamet's opinions about acting (and directing) are a crock of shit They are. Proof by counterexample: go watch Ian McKellen perform Richard III (1995 film). Here's a YouTube clip of a few opening scenes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke5

How is this substantively different from the Skype iPhone application, with an in-bound phone number? The major usability barrier to me there is the inability to have Skype run in the background on the phone (reasonably so, since it would k

After K&R, I highly recommend Peter van der Linden's Expert C Programming ( http://www.amazon.com/Expert-Programming-Peter-van-Linden/dp... ). It's fun to read (yes, really), and you'll understand the language better for it. C is fairly

Very nice. Great initial selection, too. I grabbed the Art of the Fugue scores, and I'll give them a shot later today. I've always had a lot of trouble with reading the score and figuring out the fingering on 3+ voices in counterpoint at th

Fantastic and fascinating read. Thanks for posting this. I had no idea that lime juice only contains a fraction of the vitamin C content of lemon juice. I wonder how grapefruit fares.

I only read about half that article before losing interest, but one argument jumped out at me: the mandatory office parties and drinking outings. This, IMO, is not a Japan-only phenomenon, although I'm sure the Japanese put their own cultur
