I agree the fragmentation issue isn't anywhere near as bad as it's made out to be in general, but.. > It's not like everything breaks just because the user has a Sony phone. Even with Android 4+, there are still gotchas. F

Roaming charges are too high and I want to start a new cell carrier to compete on this basis. How would you suggest I go about it?

I'll bite. Can the telecoms market support 'adequate competition'? Is the telecoms market in the US a 'free market'?

As is touched on in the article, one of the problems with parking quotas is that they shift a major cost of owning a car in a city (parking) on to everyone, rather than just car owners. If all the external costs of driving were priced in co

Have you seen the dimensional library? It's a slightly abusive use of the type system, but will check units at compile time. See e.g. http://code.google.com/p/dimensional/wiki/GMExample

If you don't mind me asking, how much do you earn? If you're on the median UK national income and you double it you'd very easily be able to live in a nice place in London. Your lifestyle would of course be very different, bu

Any malware issues on Android have more to do with differences in vetting than the intents system.

I think this book did a pretty good job for me of justifying equality from a philosophical perspective: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Justice-Whats-Right-Thing-Do/dp/0141...

The type system isn't Turing-complete by default, you need to enable a fair number of extensions: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Type_SK

Haskell is definitely pretty far away from almost any other language (I can't think of any others which are lazy by default, for example). Learn You a Haskell is probably the best resource if you want to take a look, although it seems to be

In Eclipse you can use View.isInEditMode to hide code that doesn't work in the preview. Bit of extra work but probably worth it, having your custom views work in the layout editor can be a timesaver. I'd imagine that works in Android Studio

Do you mean from Zone 6 (Heathrow) to Zone 1? The other way round is probably not too bad at 7AM :)

Is copying wrong if it doesn't result in a lost sale?

The piracy rate is meaningless. The figure you want is the piracy rate amongst people who would have paid for the game if it hadn't been available to pirate, and determining that is close to impossible.

There's a GHC (Haskell) extension which lets you use list comprehensions which read like SQL: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.2.1/html/users_guide/synta...

If you are interested in these kinds of things, you might find David Nutt's book interesting: http://www.amazon.com/Drugs-Without-Hot-David-Nutt/dp/190686... It's perhaps a little UK-centric, but I found it well argued and the author is e
