This has been done before and it's called GE.

Real mature, Sam. And since the personality of the commenter matters all of a sudden, then tell me, have you ever lived outside of the U.S.? Because you must be incredibly sheltered and never really encountered the things you accuse the U.S

What's the value of a developer then, if his/hers only job is to cobble together frameworks and snippets?

Isn't your ageing mother allowed on HN?

Exactly. I actually like Ruby, but hate RoR, because of a very lacking sense of control, unless you are very deep into it. You have absolutely zero feeling for what it OK and what's not OK to do with so much implicit magic behind the s

America is great.

Yeah. It's somewhere between France and Turkey. But in my opinion the whole 99-vs-1 narrative is bonkers. EDIT: Let me clarify to the downvoting PC frat boys: 99% vs 1% is a shit metric that doesn't address the issue of inequality

Let me rephrase the title using absolute values: "Richest 73 Million People Will Own More Than All The Rest by 2016"

This is a cartoonish view of things. On top of that, most of history speaks of the contrary.

The reason why C has several integer types, is because there are different ways to represent integers for computers. Everything else is convention. I mean, if that bothers you, then meta-programming in Ruby and Python, as well as different

I think you mean the TARP/TALF programs.[1] They were loans with very specific conditions and costs. Meaning banks had to pay interest on those loans to the U.S. government, which was definitely above the U.S. government interest rates

CDO's are huge and complicated deals. All the little details are documented in the prospectus. Granted it's 700 pages long on average, but maybe people shouldn't be buying 2-3 billion USD securities if they don't have

Could you elaborate on the multi-billion gov't subsidies to GS?

I think the problem is that demand for oil can change way more quickly than supply. At peak everybody was investing in production capacity and increasing production to profit from the high prices. Now demand has slipped (for example China),

In addition to that, sanctions lifted from Iran. Iran and Saudi Arabia are the most influential members of OPEC and they don't get along whatsoever. Meaning the Saudis and the Iranians will break rank and try to claw out more market sh

I'd say the main reasons to be worried are: - notoriously murky economic figures from the government - explosive growth of credit and especially shadow banking Oversimplified, imagine borrowing money for 6% p.a. and investing all of it

Well, if the creators are so precious and the "middlemen" - not, why just not stop using the "middlemen"?

Might I suggest looking at this book[1]: http://www.amazon.com/Dow-36-000-Strategy-Profiting/dp/08129... What is especially interesting is the publication date. Additionally, remember when everybody in Europe and

I remember seeing a 1970s video from the Soviet Union about a piece of software some soviet scientists developed that could automatically retouch and restore photographs. Like at Adobe Photoshop CC level. What impact did it have? Zero. Beca

It's a creative tool. And it's not comparable to music production, because film has a huge influence on the end result, whereas in music you must have a very well trained ear to appreciate the difference. I sometimes shoot mediu

It's a misdirection from Apple. If the number of tool and die makers in China is way bigger than in the US, that means that the market in China is way more competitive and Apple can get a better price.

Of course it's up to him. If I were an Apple stockholder, I'd be livid, if they would have decided to pay up 40% on those 74 billion. In fact, everyone decides to a certain extent the amount of tax they pay via choice of residence

Exactly. Also, I remember reading somewhere that one of the Google founders (Brin, I think) was actually proud of not having an MBA. Not 100% about the validity of the story though. Thing is, if it's true, I can understand the sentim

I haven't claimed a strong point. Neither have I said anything like what you are implying I've said. I've only tried to clarify my previous comments at which I seem to have failed.

But are statistical conclusions really necessary? Or the only conclusions that matter? I look at it from a market perspective: she had to compete with a lot of people for that position. If an MBA was a disadvantage, would she win that posit

Why are people on HN so obsessed with trying to find argument fallacies in comments? No, I am not saying that. The words "true MBA" have the same amount of content to them as "a true kitchen sink": zero. I say that peopl

Well, I have had the opposite experience, but then again I'm not in tech. Thing is, the useless MBA image comes from the indiscriminate and formalistic practices of HR recruiters, who would equate an "MBA" with "value&qu
