I already have ghc-7.6.3 installed and up to date cabal. What do I get by installing haskell-platform that I don't have right now? AFAIU Haskell Platform is just a vetted list of packages bundled with GHC?

Then you'll need to track exact value of food each employee spent, send them invoice and pay them the same amount each month to cover that amount. I can't see how that can be simpler than "free food".

Why would someone else's flag affect my front page?

No, it won't. It says that my HTC Desire running 2.3 is not supported.

Well, Dalvik is not a speed deamon. I don't have any benchmarks on actual phone hardware available, but I can guess that javascript code will not run much slower on phone hardware than on desktop comparable desktop browsers, while Dalvik is a waaay slover than regular Java code on desktop.

If I had Google Glass I would use it to make some quick money and sell it immediately.

You already have that in Javaland. It's called maven, and it allows you to change one number in one file to upgrade the dependency version. Clojure also has that with Leiningen.

There is unflag option where you can unflag your own flag, but it doesn't counter other peoples flags, IIRC. I'm not sure about that now, since flag right has been removed from my account some time ago, and I don't see neither flag nor unflag links anymore.

> If no one agreed with them then theirs would be the only flag and there would be no effect. If several people agreed then there would be several flags, and that's what appears to happen.

It would be good if users were given not only flag, but also unflag possibility. As it is right now, it takes only a few users to flag an article to disappear, although there might be hundreds users that would be opposed to that that can affect the flagging process because there is no unflag option.

Just to be clear, paying little or no taxes is only government fail to collect them. It has nothing to do with responsibilities. There is no law in the world that forces anyone to maximize tax that it has to pay, so everyone has a right to pay as little tax as legally allowed.

Because PayPal is the only one that actually works in 150+ countries worldwide. No service offering US or US+CA+UK only service could compete with PayPal effectively, even if it were 1000 times better in technical, UX or business terms, because something that works with a lot of pain is still infinitely better than someone that doesn't support your country.

How is this different from what "git --diff" provides out of the box for .docx documents?

Because it might be the best option for a next few years? I'm not saying it is, but some people did a right choice "locking" themselves to Adobe-only infrastructure (Flash), Apple-only infrastructure (iOS/Objective-C), Microsoft-only infrastructure (Windows/Office/.NET), ...
