Splice Terms of Use: little over the top?

Professional finance. Trying to understand what all the terms like hedge fund, financial instruments etc. mean.

This is a typical greedy algorithm train of thought. Ignoring long term issues in favor of immediate short term feel-good solutions. How you can bring up Indian road maintenance methods as a standard bearer for good / positive policy is beyond me. This just leads to roads not getting fixed and the laborers stretching out the repair "job" as long as possible, which in most cases, is a very long time. By using these terrible and inefficient methods, the nation as a whole suffers, including the laborers. Of course, that loss is not immediately observable, and hence gets brushed under the carpet. If instead, the resources that are wasted on inefficiencies ends up channeled better, maybe not this exact generation, but hopefully the next generation of the same economic class could have a better shot at education and/or a better life.

Your line "I hear these objections, but I still stand by my assertion" reminds me of the saying (translated to English) - "100 out of 80 (sic) people are cheats, yet my India is great"

Re:Ask HN: List of words – List of regexes tool? on Sunday December 21, 2014 @08:32AM (#8779710)
True. I was thinking about a tool that would give you a list of regexes, ranked by some factor that aims to get at the regex pattern that'll be useful. For example, if I gave it, [[email protected], [email protected]] it would give all kinds of regex patterns, but ideally point to [a-z]@[a-z].com

Jeez that's such a confusing name to pick. NIME (http://www.nime.org/) is an annual conference in music tech!

One of my professors had once told me that the people handling cutting edge technology in every era were inevitably into music, and that's why music tech has always sat at the cutting edge of tech. Still remember that, 2 years on!

Thanks for the thoughts. I keep using various hybrids of the 3 that you mentioned and it's been getting annoying. I'm going to try and see if I can maybe build a tool that could ease this process.

Ask HN: Is making one-page websites for apps a pain?

from the ask-hn dept.

Recently, the bottleneck for releasing products for me has been making the website for each of the apps. The best solution out there right now is buying templates but I'm never sure if I like it enough to shell out $15 instantly. I am wondering if others feel similarly.

Thanks! Just checked out Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. Surprising that it hasn't got an iOS version yet!
