Because their infection count go across the entire spectrum - from the highest to the lowest.

Because Sweden is just as promiscous as west africa, which is as promiscuous as any other country in southern Africa. There is no study that shows a significant difference in this.

I think this is nonsense. I doubt that the Southern Part of Africa is more promiscuous than West Africa or Brazil or Sweden. Yet the difference in infection rates are massive. And why does a warzone like Liberia have 1.7% infection rates? S

You seem to know your stuff. So if I get a Nikon D90, what quality of video am I looking at?

I don't get it. When I look at that Camera on Amazon it looks like a camera for photographs, not for video. Why would they shoot a movie with this?

We had the same problem. Launched initial app with pad in the name, it was approved without any problems, but the update was not approved because of the 'Pad' name. But to me it's not a big deal, I just changed it and reuploaded, I doubt ha

In my opinion, people don't get to really disrupt. Disruption happens. How many video sharing websites existed before youtube - quite a lot. Before facebook, quite a lot of social networking sites. What happens is that someone does somethin

The phrase I would have liked to see there is Black-American. Language by definition is unclear. For example, "Caucasian" originally means people from the Caucasus region, but it has been adapted to refer to the american racial construct of

Black-Americans do not have any cultural link to Africa, so I was pointing out that saying Carribean-American is not the same thing as saying African-American. Carribean-American implies a direct cultural link to the carribean islands, much

Then how about they use Black-American? The article is not about blacks in general, it's about black people within the U.S.

I doubt that African-Americans are culturally "african".

Well, it's on a website. Imagine opening the website and reading the start of the article: --- Title: Sex and the single black woman Subtitle: How the mass incarceration of black men hurts black women IMAGINE that the world consists of 20 m

I doubt that Afro-Caribbeans are being addressed in the article though. The article seems to be speaking about the U.S only.

I wish they would use the term "African American". The internet is global, and the 500 million other black people in the world are not affected by sentences like "Some 70% of black babies are born out of wedlock". The problems the article s

If there is one thing I've learned is that people hate subscriptions.

I absolutely did not know that thing with putting an image url in its own line. Now I do and you're right, it's great. Just saved me a ton of time.

It's pretty good. It has solved part of my biggest problem, which was the images. Previously, I had to upload images to imgur and then link then, but now I can upload them directly. See sample: http://blog.cubeofm.com/private/HkgpEbuDGE I

I subscribed to his blog, and looking at the very low posting frequency, and the fact that the blog in recent times offered very little insights or new information, I thought he had quit a long time ago.

You actually make very good points, and I think you are correct. The way I advocate functions in the short term, but in the longer term, your way is better.

Could happen, but if flash devs were let in, it would happen even quicker.

I never even heard of this company, but seems okay. If their product works, then what's wrong with it?

by maxklein 17y ago
It's more: I'm glad more people are not coming into my niche. If they did, devs will adapt, but if they are being kept out - well, that's good news.

Using a cross-compiler is like having a hammer and using it for nails, screws, thumbtacks etc. There is this myth that any programmer can learn lots of new languages. That just is not true. Most programmers are good in just a few languages

The lowest price is already mandated by Apple. There is no lower price possible. Lots of apps means a big discovery problem by the consumer. They can't find the good apps then. So prices stay the same and the customer does not find what he

What about the case where a large amount of apps are in the store. This is bad for both the consumer and the seller.

They may get the best results, but there are a lot of contributions to society that have come from less educated people. A lot of great athletes, musicians, inventors, generals, etc, have come from societies where the average result is not

Some hard numbers: with 6 sales over two days and a pretty bad app - I was at spot 27 in the paid books category of the iPad store. The equivalent spot in the iPhone store would require 60-80 daily sales on average over a 7 day period. Acco

This article is an example of research done in a very surface manner, and where pre-judgments were decided on and the facts bent to meet the judgement. They control piracy by keeping costs low and pricing at a level that makes it uneconomic
