Headline is wrong.

Actual finding: it's hard to accurately shop a complex ecommerce site with tiny objects and links designed for a mouse crammed together and shrunken into a non zoomed viewport. It's easier to use an app, or the input device the website was designed for. Takeaway should be: redesign for touch. See Gmail's new touch friendly "desktop" design for an example.

Errr.. Did he just wrote an html parser (and then used it) to prove everyone that you can use regex to solve the use-html-parser-instead-of-regex problem?!

It's like if I suggest someone to use Python instead of ASM to solve a simple problem, but then someone try to prove me wrong by writing a python interpreter in ASM and then USE it to solve the same problem!

Also, that being said, I feel like the post is more a brag about "I'm the creator of a popular perl book and perl rocks your language here's why blahbahblah".
Commenting about why you should be downvoted might stifle progress (of your karma downwards.)
How many problems would novice have if he decides to parse HTML with regexes in Perl?

Reading the article, I also get the feeling that he can't have so much experience in this topic. What he says sounds logical, but doesn't really acknowledges all the aspects. Also I have a quite different view about how women view men, even those, who actually have really bad experiences with men.
NO ONE DOES THAT ON WINDOWS OUTSIDE OF TECH GEEKS. EVERYONE pastes in to MS Word, then emails that document.

That said, from a geek standpoint, I still prefer having the raw image file that I snapped in a folder someplace so I can refer to it later without having to go through sent emails, but that's just a personal preference.

I use ".me" for my personal domain/email and I still get strange looks about this TLD from anyone outside the tech community. E.g. I give my email address to a clerk at a clothing store and I have to convince him that .me is a valid domain ending.

This makes me think it will take a while before it makes sense for companies to embrace the new anything-TLDs as their main web presence. The last thing you want to do is confuse potential customers who are trying to go to your website.

Perhaps .app customers are savvy enough for this not to be a problem, though I don't see why any company would want to take this risk unless there were really no acceptable .com's.
> I am always conscious that I am being objectified sexually ...fat, bald guy

Again, lack of introspection.

You complain about being objectified sexually while dissing fat, bald (and no doubt short) guys.

Of course men are going to objectify women, just as you and other women objectify men.

In other words you have nothing to complain about.
It would be nice if ISP would spend some time tracking spam bots on their network and shut them down too.

Okay so - person A commits an act which person B believes to be a betrayal. Community opinion splits. Intuitions go either way. Particularly - those who converse more with A and have greater allegiance with him, view the matter as he does, and vice versa with person B.

As per the principle advocated in the article - B hates A and refuses to further interact. And that's it. If they're lucky - they'll cause a divisive rift in their entire social group.

I've seen many examples of above stated sort of case. I haven't seen that many where it's just clearly obvious that one person was the a-hole - to the point where intuitions on the matter don't split to a significant degree. But of course most people when IN the situation believe that it is in fact black and white - just as this author supposes. Well - more often than not, that's hubris.

So here is some contrarian advice.

As I see it - trust and understanding only comes after the overcoming of a thousand mis-understandings. It comes after a mountain of forgiveness from both sides. I've never had a single friendship of any significance that did not involve a large degree of conflict.

So take some time to cool off - let some water flow under the bridge - then call em up and buy em a beer. Admit that you were probably just as much of an a-hole, even if you don't entirely understand why - and talk to the guy as much as you can to figure out if maybe... just maybe... you got things wrong.

I support the ability to hide sex as an option, clearly on the grounds that more options are better. But the logic presented here to support it is really wrong. It's the same logic by which women hid themselves in burqas, long dresses, and the shadows of their men for centuries. If anything, having sex open might encourage everyone to be more aware of the issues that arise and fix them.
Hackers pwn German Federal Police servers
I have the exact opposite problem, I'm trying to stay focused on my budding startup and not get too distracted by other projects and ideas (one of which is a game, btw!)

If it were me, I'd go work at a temp agency as a receptionist or something and try to get into as many local businesses as possible for short periods of time. My goal would be to ask a ton of questions about the business, their processes, what works, what's a pain, what software are they using and how well is it working for them (and how much did it cost). My end goal would be to try to figure out what problems could be solved with software. Nothing gets me energized like solving someone's problem, and being able to see how much better their lives and work are because of my solution.

Another thing I might do if I didn't have to worry about money for the next 10 years would be to get into hardware hacking. I've been a software guy for years, and hardware has always been that great unknown over the horizon. I might take a few classes at the local community college on electronics, or I might just pick up a few arduinos and start messing around. I'd love to build clip on hardware for phones, or home automation components, now that smart phones are everywhere, I think home automation makes more sense than ever before.

Good luck!

AFAIK, under international law for statehood it would require a permanent population, a defined territory, government and capacity to enter into relations with the other states.[1]

There is some precedent for non-states getting "international personhood" but so far its only happened to the UN and even that is only minimal personhood. [2] I don't think the logic would carry over.

Treating it as a natural resource would probably put it under the jurisdiction of states where it resides. At that point, maybe states can do what Equador did with nature and treat it as having fundamental rights in their constitution.

This is a typical "look at me" post. It's saying nothing. Just a few examples:

> The Interface is not what but how.

... I could aswell claim: "The interface has to flow"

> The interface is not obvious

Opinion without any examples. This is like listening to a wine critic. I would usually respond that interfaces should be obvious, but there is always a rebuke from people like him. You can't talk with someone who doesn't say anything.

> highly user centered in its interior design

Really? How is Facebook not user centered? How is anything not user centered?

> I know pretty much everyone I interact with

So, let me summarize: You interacting with people you know is a plus for Google+. This would totally not be possible with Facebook right?

Excellent marketer though, 750+ people sharing this? Wow. It will be interesting to see how many upvotes it gets on hackernews.
Its probably not much of a concern for the person working in the call center, but what about the family they're sending money back to? I'm not sure if giving money to your relatives so they aren't malnourished will increase your happiness, but it should certainly increase theirs.

Yeah, this is pretty much what seems to be going on.

I don't think anyone has ever said that regexs can't be used in the parsing of html, just that they can't be used for the parsing of html. It's like someone saying "You can't use bricks to keep warm!" and countering that by saying "Observe! I have built a house using, among other things, bricks, and it shelters me from the weather and keeps me warm!" Deliberately missing the point in order to show off your housebuilding skills.

Still, it was an informative and well written article. Article, rather than an answer to a question. Why do people write these thousands of words on stack overflow, when they could publish them on their blogs. Are SO points from confused corporate employees really worth more than the adulation of the blogosphere? Actually, who cares. I almost lost the will to live just writing that sentence...
The team I worked with tried something similar where we broke down tasks into cards, where each card represented something that should take about a day to complete. Knowing how bad I am at estimating how long tasks take, I was sceptical whether this would work, but it did! After a few months, the team settled down into doing 30 or so (+/- 10% or so) cards per week. This proved very useful for bargaining for more time for feature development and generally being more predictable.

The takeaway for me is that good estimation is possible, and that by tracking those numbers you can improve your own estimation skills.

Some other reading material that I found useful in this area was Evidence Based Scheduling (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/10/26.html) and Software Estimation (http://www.stevemcconnell.com/est.htm)
This is what all of the agile development I've been involved in does - you look at your "velocity" over the previous iterations and use it to guide your planning of the next one.
I think this is essentially what FogBugz does, so if it works for you, I think there's a good argument for using it.

Just like anything in reason.org is bound to have a certain slant, things in Mother Jones are not going to get published if they don't have their own slant.

> Any opinion you attribute to the author is most likely something you are imagining based on your own opinions.

The same phrase he mentioned popped out at me too, and if you look at it, it carries a lot of opinion:

"Free-market cheerleaders, conflating"

First of all, "cheerleaders" certainly contains a sense of someone in favor of something in a sort of rah-rah, go-team way that is not entirely positive. "Conflating" means: "they're mistaken".

That said, yeah, it's mostly his experiences, but it's sprinkled with stuff to make it "on-message" with where it's published.
Thank you so much for your reply. I am really happy you took the time to write this up!
It's "preventing a problem", but it's also advising women that they should not participate in the social network unless they disguise themselves as men. What if higher public participation of women made stalkers go away actually?

Totally anecdotal evidence: I used to have a discussions app on bebo (a social network with lots and lots of teenagers). I was surprised to see how vigilant the teens were to keep away any adults that might potentially be pedophiles. In fact they got a few accounts banned because of their reports, and generally they were spreading the word of caution to their peers very effectively.

Sorry, I think I was unclear in my question.

"cannot countenance the possibility that there is not a completely uniform distribution of ability across all conceivable human subgroups."

What ability are you talking about? (This is not disagreement btw, this is truly for clarification).

"The assumption of biological egalitarianism underpins the idea that all inequalities of outcome are due to the malice of straight white middle-class males.

Yet it is not straight, white, middle-class males who are actually committing most of the rapes in America."

Insofar as this particular argument goes, it doesn't matter if the males are white or middle-class. It is, however, straight men who commit most of the rapes as well as other sexual abuses and sexual harassment in America.

Well, a couple of things here. Firstly, when the gender of a character is revealed, it's in line with what I've said. There are no long-haired males or hairless females.

Secondly, long hair denoting femaleness is a cartoon trope and that's how it's used in xkcd (note my issue is not the trope itself here, but that it is used by someone who says they're passionate about equality). Using your argument, you could argue that the cartoon characters with long eyelashes and pink bows in their hair could be male, but of course in real terms that's never how they're seen.
Google+ users are 88% male

1.Nobody will top up some $500k to an anonymous.

It wasn't 'it'. It was hen, which comes from a mix of hon (her) and han (him), often used in litterature and online to avoid assumption about gender online. It has a very different meaning from it, since it obviously refers to a person of either gender. :)

I'd say that it's all ABOUT cherishing the differences.

Whether people like to or not, they force a whole bunch of assumptions and expectations on children about gender, and I don't think it's much of a stretch to think or notice that they pick up on it.

These people just try to decide and control what notions and expectations about gender and identity they give.

As an example, they had the 'boy' toys with the 'girls' toys to try and remove the notion that such things existed, to avoid that those children both don't have normal gender-identities but who wants to follow the expectations of adults and authorities would feel comfortable, and ideally not even think of feeling uncomfortable, with their choices or preferences.

They didn't force the children to play with all the toys if they didn't want to, they just tried to remove barriers created by society to allow them to be different or themselves, if that ended up being a stereotypical pink-princesses loving girl, or a boy who loves soldiers and trucks: that's perfectly fine.

But not EVERY child are these. I at least believe we should try to let those who aren't be what they are, just as we should allow those who are to be what they are.

Unfortunately, no matter how awesome he is for investing his time and no matter how useful his bug reports are, his bug reports are also so offensive, unconstructive and discouraging that it's deemed better for the community to ban him. I can understand and support that decision, although I may have chosen otherwise.

There is a decided difference between emotion and reason. Frustration is an expression of emotion and has no place in a bug report.

A bug report should factually describe a problem and the steps a dev can take to reproduce them.

Your frustration is a symptom of your own unmet expectations. The problem with _any_ expectation is that (being constant) it is bound to be unmet, eventually, given that the world is in a state of continuous change. So you can either lose your cool, or understand that this is the nature of the world, adapt and move on.

The title of this post has "click bait" plastered all over it, and that single post takes the whole thing out of context. I'm sorry I fell for it.

Heh. If you want to work at a no-shot startup PM me. You'd be full co-founder along with myself and learn a crapload, as you'd be taking lead CTO role. I can't say it's better than working for a big-name startup but I do think you'd learn more because we can make mistakes as we go.
