It can be... but it also can be a drag if that's not your immediate area of study. Security is incredibly important, but it is an overhead: including a cognitive overhead. If I'm futzing around with a toy project to learn about how, say, distributed agents can make use evolutionary selection to create efficient protocols amongst themselves (yes, a completely bullshit set of terms strung together) and I fully expect this to never leave a group of VMs on a home server.... yeah, security is NOT something I'm going to sweat. Doing so would be a distraction and counter-productive to my goals.

To be fair to your point, however, by not constantly practicing secure coding techniques, regardless of context, I could get out of the habit of secure coding as a default. I may simply not think about it at a time when I should be. By always considering, even in my bullshit toy project, I stick to my good practices and more consistently apply them when it counts. But the argument that security coding can be interesting and fun is not a good enough argument to care about it all the time.

There are multiple advantages in taking someone local.

That involves knowing the one line on the terminal, and when you google "rails set up" you will get a bunch of out-of-date tutorials, and not knowing rails you won't know which is out-of-date.

To be honest I've gotten to the point where I leave my mobile at home 50% of my days.

Wearing a watch is a habit I've had for many years, and still the first thing I do when I wake up is wind it up, and put it on.

There are times when I check the time on my computer, or my mobile, but generally my watch is my first point of call.
For all the times it didn't work, how many times did it work for others? One person, with no information, doesn't mean anything.
I'd agree with that. My impression is that the profession is bifurcating into two categories:

1) Programmers, who have solid coding skills that primarily work on building systems using existing modules and libraries.
2) Software engineers, who have algorithmic and systems level expertise along with advanced coding skills, and are capable of working on complex software such as operating systems, compilers, and other libraries / components used by others.

Let me hasten to add that that isn't to say one is better than the other. Both are needed, just like both regular doctors (in greater quantity) and neurosurgeons are needed (in lesser quantity) are also needed and all are highly skilled professionals.

I realize that the context is different in the U.S. vs the rest of the world, but would you say "life isn't fair, deal with it" to slaves in the South in the 1800s? Or to segregated blacks in the 1900s? Or to women who couldn't vote?

Or, to use a more modern example, to Muslims who are facing prejudice and persecution because of the actions of extremists?

Throughout history, "stop whining, deal with it" has tended to be the refrain of the privileged.

> So my opinion stems from my experience in this very business. And your opinion stems from where exactly?

For someone who claims to be experienced in the matter, you don't seem to know much about what Google does, even when they state explicitly what they do in their own privacy policy.

> You have 0 idea what you are talking about but insist that you are right. Even further, you outright accuse google of lying when they say GA data is not used unless the webmaster explicitly opts in to share it.

I never mentioned opt-in or opt-out. I said in general they re-use the data. The functionality is available, so common sense says you should assume its "enabled" (or Opt-In, in their language) for any site you visit, because you have no way to know that it isn't. I also never accused anyone of lying. I explicitly referenced Google's own privacy policy which says they use GA data for targeted ads.

> Oh and btw, that quote about relevant search results and ads... you might want to check where it comes from before basing arguments off it.

The quote comes from Google. I found you another one. This took me literally 10 seconds to find on https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/#infocollect (emphasis mine):

It feels awful to think that you might not get a job you wanted because of your gender or the color of your skin doesn't it? This can be a moment of introspection if you let it. Imagine feeling that way almost every day of your life.

There's a positive way and a negative to resolve the situation. The negative way is to impose hiring quotas, so that everyone--even white guys--feel the same fear of unfair denial. That's what you're talking about when you say:

> The proposed solution is to discriminate against people like me.

But there's another way. The positive way is for people to use their conscious intelligent mind to analyze and overrule the unconscious implicit biases that they grew up with, so everyone gets a fairer chance based on merit. For that to happen, a lot of people will need to a) believe it's a problem, and b) work out loud to fix it. Your comments are not moving the ball in that more positive direction, unfortunately.

Seriously! Think about how we deal with Android/iPhone apps.

I go to Five Below or a Dollar Store and stock up on $2-$3 items that are kind of neat even venturing into the $5 range occasionally for "premium garbage" yet I get on the Google Play store and see a really awesome app that fills one of my needs but it's $2! How can someone charge $2 for THAT? They only spent a year working on it and it fits my need perfectly but $2 is too much!

It's really weird, for sure.

I think the hardest part with things like the New York Times is that a lot of us are getting our news from aggregators. I don't give a shit about the New York Times as a company nor any others. I read down through places like Hacker News and click links there. If, occasionally, it's a link to a NYT article, I read it (or don't.. I guess?) but otherwise, if any one of the news sites disappeared off of the face of the globe, I'd be no better or worse off.

Also, $8/mon is nothing when it's one news site but if each site begins charging, using a news aggregator is going to be a very expensive proposition...
> I'm from an Eastern Europe and my family never was rich, I had to put in a tremendous effort to even get into the industry.

"White privilege" is simply the (mostly reasonable) claim that your journey probably would have been even tougher if you were a black person from your exact same background.
The Soviet Union collapsed because they distributed everything to everyone, the problem was it was all terrible and the supply was insufficient due to any one of many things such as problems in distribution, corruption in the suppliers, etc. People who were stealing were by and large doing so out of desperation, which is already happening now in multiple areas around the US and elsewhere.

The vast majority of people when given access to a basic amount of money (not benefits, not stamps, just money) will spend it in such a way as to NOT cause them additional misery via drugs, alcohol or by starving their children. Yes, some will but the "welfare queen" is a myth perpetuated by people who stand to benefit from the social systems being cut back. They exist but it's such a vanishingly small percentage that they might as well not exist, in comparison to the total welfare budget it's a rounding error.

I've never heard of one person protesting against the rich saying that we should all be equal. I used to think that's what they were saying, but in actuality people who want equality want equality of opportunity, not equality of result, and to say that a kid growing up in rural Kentucky with the best of circumstances available there has the same opportunity as a kid in the suburbs of San Fransisco is laughable on it's face.
Human intelligence is overrated (2012)
So many Americans simply don't understand what you're saying. Having lived outside of the US myself for almost 10 years and planning to do so again, it's a world of difference.

I'm in love with the entire Iberian peninsula, particularly the southernmost bits. It's poor(er), beautiful in people and in landscape, the weather is nice most of the time, and things are affordable, even by the local sheep farmers. I won't be getting rich, but I'll be living and working on my own terms. Best part is, the wife is amenable to this after the children are out on their own. My wife is in the medical field. She can likely transfer her license and skills over. Heritage-wise, she's from the area, so this is a bonus as well.
And see this is the part that I never got past. In your example, it's the cop that's committing the infraction. And yet, I'm the one that is expected to improve the situation, despite the fact that I've never been racist.

I'm all for helping people that have been disadvantaged in life. What I'm not okay with is the fact that society expects me to do anything on the basis of my skin color or gender. I will do something if I think it's the right and moral thing to do, not because a bunch of people on the internet told me it was the right thing to do.

I think the disconnect lies in that many people (such as yourself) believe that it's such a clear cut thing when in reality it's much grayer, like everything else in life. Essentially, stop telling other people how to live their lives.

I think a very high number of "torture proponents" are simply in favor of hurting the "bad guys" and don't even care that there might be information to be had.

Donald Trump said it best, to an arena full of cheering supporters:

"If it doesn’t work, they deserve it anyway, for what they’re doing"

In his mind, and the minds of his constituents, the "information gathering" aspect is a sly wink at the other sadists in the room.

Netflix really screwed up with House of Cards. They should be able to take the high ground and say:

"Don't get mad at us, they're making us do it. We're leading by example, maybe someday everybody will realize that regional restrictions are a bad idea."

But their licensing and handling of House of Cards prevents them from taking the moral high ground.
It's not working because this phenomenon is not the privilege of a race of people. Go to China and you will find a "privileged class" (urbanites), go to Nigeria and you will find privileged people, Go to Japan and you will find privileged people (those lucky enough to go to the right universities) same with France and go to India and you find "privileged" people. So the problem people have is that it's framed as a "white disease" when most countries which have economies which cause a "sorting out" i.e. Not everyone is in the same subsistence mode, have this phenomenon, but it's used as a tool in an attempt to bring other people up by making other people feel (in this case whites) as if they are uniquely and artificially in a position where they are automatically parasitic. Basically it treats success as a zero-sum issue. It pits one class against another and both can feel aggrieved. Which probably is not the best way to engage people and get them onboard with ideas.
Why is that a problem? If you are the type of person that is paranoid about anonymous usage data you will be very well versed in opting out of things because that's pretty much the standard. Homebrew is even notifying users that they are starting analytics and that you can opt-out. Here's what I just got on my terminal:

==> Homebrew has enabled anonymous aggregate user behaviour analytics
Read the analytics documentation (and how to opt-out) here:

The vast majority of users want Homebrew to work better and are fine with the developers knowing which packages are the most popular. This is not "betrayal".

Behold, the effects of propaganda. I'd really like to see some solid research in how much the CIA or US government funds TV shows and movies to portray those organizations as the good guys, or whether it's more due to patriotism or whatever it is that makes a movie-maker portray organizations like that as good or bad.
