You had me until "Supports 'goto'." in the C# section.

I wish people would stop demonizing that keyword.

First of all, great to hear you're finding the app useful!

We've somewhat surprisingly already heard stories regarding the opposite of users waiting to pay until a feature is added; where users have actually joined a site because they noticed a feature which they thought was missing was actually in the works on the app's roadmap!

I do see and understand the worry that it can be risky for /some/ larger businesses to share all the inner workings but we haven't yet heard anything negative back from our users. Also, you aren't required to share everything that you have planned. If you want to, you can start off by just the information that you think you think would be great to share with your users, whatever that may be.

When You Should Start Using Anti Aging Products
Most people consider themselves too young to use anti wrinkle creams and anti-aging products. However, there are no rules or limitations to use anti wrinkle creams at any particular age. Anti-aging products can be used at any age. Even before you notice the first wrinkle on your skin, you can start taking steps to fight aging by integrating anti-aging wrinkle creams in your skin care routine.

With all those extremely serious crimes, how many people got hurt? And remember, if he'd taken the original deal he would have been out in two years.
Not necessarily. There are a number of legitimate ways that someone's online gender can be ambiguous.

For instance one person in my circles is male, has a long-established female online identity, and has stated a gender of "other".

For a different example, how about someone who is trans, has had hormones, but has not yet had the operation?
The first page of Google results will suggest that for second degree murder, depending on the state, sentences bounce around between 10-20 years. Obviously, if you deliberately plan and execute the killing of your neighbor as an adult, you are probably never leaving prison; first degree sentences are extremely long, averaging more than twice the sentence handed down in this case.
The monkeys took many photos, most of which were out of focus or poorly composed. Could not sorting through the essentially random photos that the monkeys took, and selecting those with most artistic potential, and perhaps cropping them to improve the composition, be considered a creative act?
I think this guy was trying to destroy his neighbor's life, and that his plan to do so was plausible. I think you are getting caught up in the "wifi" stuff.
Many languages have different ways of saying "you" depending on gender. For example, many arabic verbs have suffixes "ak" (you, masc) and "ik" (you, fem). There is no gender-neutral way to directly address someone (there is only masculine and feminine nouns).

PS. I have only rudimentary knowledge of Arabic so any native speakers, forgive me if I'm way off.
If you were to try to say "my friend's house" in lots of languages you have to use a gender-specific word.

In spanish, for example

La casa de mi amigo / La casa de mi amiga.

If you were to try to do it in a gender neutral manner ...

La casa de una persona que conozco bien.

Which translates roughly to "the house of a person that I know (and know well)."
This is good. Now they just need to allow people to use pseudonyms. (maybe.)

I thought my point was that this is highly dependent upon the organization that you're joining. There are plenty of startups and small businesses where I would be the smartest guy in the room. There are also plenty where I would not. My point is that I'm far more likely to be an easy hire at the former category than at the latter category. If one wishes to work in the latter category, choose appropriately.
How To Be Creative: A Lesson From Pablo Picasso
I'd like one person who's claiming this behavior is causing networking issues, is non standard, or is a security risk to provide proof.

Suppose for a second that Apple's networking stack ruined things for other users, were in violation of standards, or insecure. They'd be lambasted. Furthermore, their users would have a sub-par experience. Bad press and, more importantly, a poor user experience are two things Apple tries to minimize. They'll only put up with bad press when they perceive it to be at the long-term benefit of their business, as with the iOS App Store. I assert this is not one of those cases.

What seems more likely is that Apple decided device connectivity and wake-from-sleep performance is paramount, and then aggressively optimize to ensure Apple devices are awake and connected as quickly as possible. Period.

Users hate waiting for a machine (or phone) to wake up and, once awake, they hate waiting for it to be usable. It seems Apple saw this pain point and decided to do something about it. And, as breaking standards compliance or introducing security risks would do nothing more than bring bad press and anger or frighten users, they almost certainly optimized in a standards-compliant and secure manner.

I'm happy to be proven wrong. In the meantime, I'm going to appreciate the attention to detail and respect the work that went into providing this experience.

In Hebrew, like in Arabic, there are only male and female singular "you" pronouns. Possession and verbs are also gender-specific ("change your password" can only be m or f). Just like English speakers are finding ways to deal with the "he/she" problem, Hebrew speakers are finding ways to deal with this. It's not a real problem.
There are sensible options available other than violating the leases.

For example, for a highly-used access point, it would make sense to give out only very short leases - say, 10 minutes. That'd support a churn of 25 clients per minute if you're giving out addresses from a /24 (and there's no reason why you couldn't use a smaller netmask, down to /8). It'd also be sensible to ignore a single MAC address once it had more than a handful of outstanding leases.

It doesn't help with a malicious client - but then neither does breaking leases. The malicious client can cause enough address flapping to make the network completely unuseable. You really can't protect a wifi network against a malicious client trying to DoS it - there's a myriad ways to do that apart from DHCP.

I find it curious that you automatically assume that Randall's post was the driving force. This is a piece of feedback that many users were submitting since the day G+ opened up. It's certainly possible that Randall was the influence that convinced Google, but I'd like to think that the feedback of the many would have weighed in more important than the post of a dude people have heard of.
He did not threaten to kill. I disagree with your definition of extremely serious.

To me, this seems like harassment, worthy of a slap on the wrist. If he does it again, take away his computer privileges or something. But prison time? You have to be kidding me.

Not liking it.

A lot of the things that supposedly suck could be argued either way. Above all, I've found the majority of the cases are the result of a failure to understand language semantics. It certainly sucks when you don't know the language you're using, but that's your responsibility. I found the language I didn't like were criticized for all the wrong reasons: reasonable design choices necessary to support the language's intended use, inconsequential foibles, etc.

I get it, one is supposed to feel perhaps mildly offended, then chastened and finally humbled. That's a good cause.

You're saying that taxpayers should shoulder the burden of jailing this guy for 20+ years just to slake your desire for revenge?

This event, while unpleasant, is not particularly heinous. He hasn't stolen their retirement funds, burned down their house, or killed their pets. Emotional damage is an issue and there should be some penance (not necessarily jail), but 'much more than 18' years? That's just blind frothing vengeance - and there's already enough wrong with the US penal system brought about by blind thirst for retribution.

If you want some accounts of heinous things people do to each other, read a few accounts of what's happening in the Congo. Emotional harassment pales in comparison.

It was the first time he was convicted of an offense, but there was (a) evidence of prior offenses turned up by the investigation into this one, and (b) every indication that the offender was not only remorseless, but saw his own actions as justified by the persecution he underwent for accosting his neighbor's 4 year old son. There was, in other words, a very credible case to be made that the offender was destined to re-offend.

In the case of a 17-year-old, are you really suggesting that this person - who has the full right to have actual sex with whoever they choose (bar perhaps a guardian) pretty much all over the developed world - that a photo of this person is just as much 'child porn' as a 10-year-old?

The world is shades of grey, not the black and white you're demanding.
Any past tense verb in Russian is gender-specific. When you use "worked", "did", the suffix must adhere to the subject of the sentence.

Now, Russian has 3 genders, that includes neutral, but neutral is a gender of its own, not a catch-all case for when things are neither masculine nor feminine. So unless the product completely avoids using verbs in past tense, making the language gender-neutral and natural-souding for Slavic group of languages is pretty much impossible.

Ardolf named this electronic image “Matt’s Kids.jpg.” See Govt. Tr. Ex. 5-2. This is an image of known child pornography identified as the “Sabban series,” where the children depicted have been identified. It has been confirmed that at the time the photographs were created, the children were minors. See Govt. Tr. Ex. 81. The “Sabban series” of child pornography was created by two individuals in Brazil, who sexually abused and photographed three children over a several-year period.
It timed out because it wasn't there, not because it was misconfigured. The tablet was revalidating its previous lease, which was from a different network - so it was sending the request to the previously-known server address.

This is exhibit A in "The People vs The American Justice System". Take a plea bargain and get two years, go to trial and get eighteen. Where's the justice in that? Either people are getting away with paltry amounts of jail time for pleading guilty, or they're being punished with long sentences for using their right to a trial. A ninefold difference in sentencing goes far beyond a proportionate incentive to avoid spurious trials. Even if this defendant was abusing the court, is sixteen years a fair punishment for wasting the court's time?

> I think every owner of a stash of pornographic material is guilty then.

You think wrong. There are two crucial differences between the average porn owner and the vindictive neighbor.

The relevant laws, 18 U.S.C. § 1466A, 2252A, and others[0], repeatedly use the word "knowingly". The vindictive neighbor did in fact knowingly possess and distribute a visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexual activity. A person who has a large stash of porn that happens to include a pic of a 17 year old that they don't know about is legally safe.

In particular, the law allows a person in possession of fewer than 3 pieces of material to make an "affirmative defense"[1] if, upon discovering it, they either take reasonable steps to destroy the material or immediately report its existence to law enforcement. So the average owner of a stash of porn, upon discovering kiddie pics in his stash, can avoid all liability and culpability merely by destroying it or turning it over to the cops. The vindictive neighbor did neither.

I would argue both of these legal points are also moral points -- knowing you possess child pornography, and knowingly keeping it, is a whole different offense than accidentally possessing it and then destroying it or turning it over to the cops when you realize the situation.

EDIT: as to the broader point as to whether the sentence is justified, you can read the government's entire argument[2]. It describes the photo in detail on page 8; the individuals depicted are prepubescent, not "almost legal". It also describes the rest of the case; note that the sentence is not merely a child porn sentence, but includes identity theft, threats to the VP, violation of his initial release conditions, lying under oath, coaching witnesses, etc. The government explains the length of sentence starting on page 27.

I've had this recipes based on what you have in your kitchen idea for many years.

So now I decided I'm going in different directions but still have the aim to have a large open storage of recipes and food.

Sadly, I don't have my website up yet since I had to make architectural decisions to accommodate massive data input for example.

> He did not threaten to kill.

He was the author of an email threatening to kill the vice-president -- he is responsible for 'uttering' the words. In many jurisdictions that is the complete crime (strict liability).

Furthermore he aimed to pervert the course of justice by framing someone else.

Both these crimes are considered serious pretty much everywhere. Judges tend to look unflatteringly on perversion in particular.
