I didn't downvote you -- but perhaps you were downvoted because while organized religions do have influence, that doesn't imply that the purpose of organized religion is influence.

An attribute of a thing is not necessarily the purpose of a thing; just because my cat has fur doesn't mean my cat's purpose is 'fur'.

You may have also been downvoted because your comment seemed disrespectful or simplistic in its attitude towards organized religion. When I go to my synagogue for Shabbat services, 'influence' has nothing to do with it.
To me it seems pretty simple: google seems to make no distinction between charitable political groups or religious organizations. they're the same damn thing in their eyes.

Would church leaders consider the church a success if they eliminated poverty in the world but the entire world became atheists?

Answer: No. If they were true believers they would accept it as an utter failure since all those souls would be in danger of experiencing a less than optimal eternity.

Question: What would be the answer to the same question from an organization whose sole purpose was to eliminate poverty in the world?

Answer: You're damn right it's a success!

From an ethical standpoint, the focus on the word "nonprofit" is misleading. No organization in the world has "not to make a profit" as its primary purpose. Not being for profit is the means for the transparency that is required to acheive the goal.

BREAKING NEWS: iOS Was Not Designed for Neckbeards

Full story at 11
there are many things that google could have done if time allowed, but the manufacturers needed something quickly to compete with Appl€. there's no other company or entity who could have made it better.

it's not fair to compare iOS and Android, it's not one device or even strictly controlled specs.
I agree (mostly), and while it's important for me to "be around" (my office hours are very similar to the author's), my kids spend a good chunk of their time playing with one another and with other kids. I like to be around, because sometimes they say "hey dad, let's play _something_," but mostly my wife and I stay out of the way.

There's a fine line, however, between being a good parent who doesn't hover and "arrange" their kids' lives to death, and a parent who is literally never around to see their kids. The whole "arrangement" thing also goes for parents who schedule every minute of their kids' days so they don't have to be around the house.

Personally, we enjoy spending time together as a family. Most weekends in the summer and fall are spent rock climbing and camping. We do, however, spend many of those days with others (and other families), so our kids are generally off in the woods doing what kids do. But, we also spend a good bit of time together, and I think it's meaningful to have activities that _are_ family-centered every so often.

Another cultural shift you don't take into account is the growing fear we (in the U.S., at least) have that our kids are simply going to be whisked away while we aren't looking. Many parents would never even consider allowing their kids (I'm thinking under ten years old) to wander around the neighbor, or simply walk over to a friend's house and see if they are around.

I do, however, think you bit too harsh on the idea of being a "Good Parent." There's also a fine line between giving your kids enough rope (and freedom) and being the drunk who only yells at his kids to get him another beer (yes, that's a bit of an overstatement). There are plenty of nights when I come home from work, we eat dinner as a family, and then my kids disappear to play. I won't see them again 'til bedtime. But I feel as a parent, I need to be available for them when they want me, too.
Did Verisign Steal Axis Bank's Logo?
I think people should do what they want to do. If you are passionate about your work, and want to spend more time there than everyone else, I'm not sure that sends a bad message to kids. If you want to spend more time home with kids, that's fine too. People are different, and you shouldn't adopt the standards of other people.

PayDay Loan
If you are out of cash and an emergency situation is begging you to decide and act promptly, just ask where you can find the path that will lead you directly to the payday loan and things will be alright." This is one of the payday loan quotes that show how beneficial this loan could be for a particular person. It simply shows that when you are facing a tough situation and you need to produce quick cash, all you would need is to rely on this loan.

I don't think the title is misleading. He spent over half the blog talking about how you don't have access to POSIX tools on the iPad. But the iPad isn't a Unix. It's only when you jailbreak it and add the unix tools do you even get to a commandline.

There are many applications that are GUI based and do good message passing. But they are on the desktop the iPad isn't that. It may share the same underpinnings as OSX but it is not a desktop bound OS, it is an appliance. He doesn't like the sandboxing but the sandboxing is also why it is secure.

The old convenient argument "we give people what they want"..

It's the same with the tv, newspapers. People get what they can get. People get what's in the market. People get what other people already got, because of a warm fuzzy feeling of familiarity and a need for identification with others. Any creator has a responsibility so that the users can be informed that things can be done in better ways and then they can choose better things. "We give people what they want" is often an easy excuse to ignore such responsibility.
You can use a view controller for this concept. It would hook up to a XIB with the components you need.

In Interface Builder you would create the scrolling objects, then animate those objects in the code according to touch events.

Well my friend, u've just drawn the wrong analogy here. Perhaps you have little or no idea of large scale software development. No developer can take a piece of code with him/her - implications are horrible. Even if they did, the code is probably worthless unless they managed to steal the entire code base. Assuming someone manages to accomplish this, it'll still take time for the damage to occur and by then the theft will be discovered.

What these traders do is, from my understanding, far more risky and the chances of someone discovering their 'wrong trade' before the damage is incurred is probably nil. That's why u always hear that the trade lost so much money. U never hear, the trade was about to lose so much money and someone averted it.

Not to detract from your point necessarily, but my anecdotal experience contrasts with this. I had no luck being told how to ride (I guess someone skilled in teaching rather than bike riding may have helped). In the end I was literally left in the driveway with a bike and not allowed back inside until I could ride. I picked it up in an afternoon.
I was of course addressing the parents universal claim that noone buys perishables to stock pile.

FWIW the article refers to Anthony Ward, a dealer in cocoa, who purchased 15% of the worlds supply during a shortage and managed to inflate global prices (depending who you talk to, http://www.tradingvisions.org/content/choc-finger-offloads-h...) enough to sell on a large profit despite considerable wastage.

He's done it before too.
I like the shopping cart total box shown in the article. (you listening, Amazon?) I can't say how many times I have gone through and aborted the checkout process in Amazon, just to find out what items are really going to cost, given shipping. Of course, the preview assumes a default shipping option. So let the user set on. I don't have Amazon Prime, so I always select the cheap shipping anyway.
Really nice job! I like it a lot.

The claim that Microsoft does nothing except imitate others is blatantly false; it would have been much more interesting if you had delved into the cases where they didn't imitate, or tried to identify the reasons why they're content to merely follow the market leader in these cases.

Strutting and Fretting Upon the Security Stage: Intro
With respect to free speech and, in general, freedoms within a group, it's important to realize we're dealing with two boundaries. The first is the rules the group agrees on that are enforced. The second are your own personal boundaries that you choose.

I think the tendency is to make the enforced rules light; we like to tip the balance in the favor of more freedom as much as possible. That said, this works best if individuals make an effort to be genuinely concerned about the interests of others in the group and therefore draw much more conservative boundaries around their own behavior.

In other words, groups need lots of social restrictions on behavior to work well, but it works best when each individual has a lot of room to decide what those boundaries are. Only the egregiously bad behavior is formally addressed as a group.

Sometimes people don't realize there are two boundaries going on and rationalize rude behavior under the umbrella of freedom or free speech.

OK, you escape stuff. Great.

How do you handle user-submitted image tags? Do you allow rich formatting, and if so, how do you sanitize it? (see http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/08/protecting-your-coo...)

I think that Django uses sha for password hashes. They should use bcrypt, right? Did you turn on XSRF protection (which I think is off by default)? Are cookies secure?

Web security is not as simple as 's.replace("<","&lt;")' (escaping by default).

How do you generate slugs? Could someone put something nasty in a pathname or URL?

Django is not secure. You can secure it, with minimal effort, if you keep things radically simple. But you do need to know what can go wrong, so you don't introduce any "features" that are actually "gaping security holes".

Even if you do everything right, it doesn't mean that Django is magically secure no matter what people use if for (obvious, yes, but this is HN and sometimes failing to point out the obvious can get you downvoted). That's why people are objecting.

Formatted input? Alas, I knew him.

Glad to see that JavaScript is helping formatted input to make a come-back. Too bad such a feature was never incorporated into HTML forms in the first place. E.g. - something like a "PICTURE" clause in dBASE (as in "still preoccupied with 1985" :-) )
It is sort of a funny cheat though. A good prank to pull on friends to claim you have a very fast internet connection, but for a company to do this in order to promote their product, it is very dishonest.
>>The claim that Microsoft does nothing except imitate others is blatantly false

Sure, Microsoft tried to build lots of tablets without copying anyone. How did that go?

Edit: To be fair, I'm just reviewing Microsoft's old OLAP invention MDX, since I might want to suggest using it as part of a solution (in a different problem domain). So far, it seems quite neat (I have only read, yet).
Very cool implementation. I'd suggest keeping the product panel (bottom-most panel) fully expanded when you're at that level in the hierarchy. Around 0:26 seconds it's awkward that it doesn't auto-expand to fill the available space as the rest of the navigation hierarchy slides up.
Funny thing is - as a VPS hosting solution, they're actually pretty decent... If this is intentional, and I do believe it is, its border line genius. Way to go for catching this.
I found my 2010 MacBook Pro with 4Gb unbearably slow even without running VMware Fusion. Mac OS X really requires 8Gb these days, unless you're running an SSD.
Sorry to break the stream of cheers, but I have my concerns about this design. Yes, it's a neat idea and already quite well-implemented. Looking at the video I can't help but feel confused. Sometimes things seem to resize randomly (at places where there is no cursor shown -- is there an input not shown?) and I have my doubts what "normal" users would do. I strongly recommend that you do grab a few people with medium technical background and ask them to perform a few tasks and then just observer (no helping). That should quickly tell you where (if) people get lost. Good work overall, but keep refining.

Well, technically, yes, but then technically every social consideration is a value judgement.

Besides, preaching is advertising. It's designed to increase the numbers of the parent organisation of the charity. Other things that are charity aren't designed to do this. Giving clothes to someone isn't designed to increase the numbers of the parent org.

Most people consider "strings attached" charity to be not pure charity. Not to say it's uncharitable, but that it's not 100%.
Well, there could have been some irascible bug in a previous version of the OS that the app kept running into, and this was the programmer's method for getting around that. Or, it could have been some really sneaky bug in the program itself, something that was beyond the programmer's ability to figure out, so they did this instead and followed the industry standard advice to "just ship it". Or, maybe it's part of some framework somewhere, because somebody thought it was a good idea.

It's a bit of a stretch to jump to "some idiot"; most of us are "some idiot" often enough.
Upcoming this weekend, I just finished the app so far last night, but I'm also very curious how people are going to interact and understand the interface. Concerning the random resizing, I mentioned it in another comment, it's one of the very subtle things that has to be done exactly right, otherwise it creates this awkward 'what the hell is going on' impression. I'm definitely on this :-)

And yes some of these things does make people idiots - if it was beyond the programmer's ability to figure out, or if a 'framework' thought it was a good idea, that makes them idiots.

> What is it if it's not a computer?

An interesting question. Is the iPad a computer?

Your average power-user (let's say programmers, Apple fanbois, Android users, and me) would say, "Umm hello? Obviously!" But your legions of average regular iPad users (grandmas, and your average college students) might not agree. But if you asked them what an iPad was, if it was a computer, they couldn't quite be able to tell you. "Umm, yes? But wait, it can't do so many other things."

This means, as a society, Apple has forced us to rethink the question: "What is a computer?" and "Is the iPad a computer by this definition?"

However, we live in an at least nominally secular society. That means that we don't show preference for or prejudice against religions.

I think this is where you're wrong. Freedom of religion doesn't mean secular, it means you get to have whatever religion you like. Consider:

The US government isn't a Catholic organization, so we won't give tax breaks to Catholic charities.

The US government isn't a Libertarian organization, so we won't give tax breaks to Libertarian charities.

should not lead to an expectation amongst the religious that they should receive similar treatment from private enterprise.

You really can't separate charity from the ethical principles that drive people to do it. Religion is a private enterprise.
Heh, indeed.

But just as it's unbecoming to boast about what you are not, one needs to recognize what one is and can do to arrange that things work out best, at least in startups where that vs. e.g. politics determines personal and project/corporate success. The flip side of the theme of the 2nd Dirty Harry movie, "A man's got to know his own limitations."

Plus I think I'm allowed to be proud of what I've accomplished over decades of hard work. I started with punched card FORTRAN "IV" on the IBM 1130 in high school in the fall of 1977 (scare quotes because it was closer to a FORTRAN II, e.g. no logical IFs), that prompted me to begin a lifelong independent study of software engineering (since I realized there had to be better ways to do this) and the cited level of skill in debugging nasty C programs was achieved by 1999, a full 22 years later. One would really hope one has learned a thing or two over a couple of decades.

From the title I expected the article to inform me about why this wasn't a rogue trader, that is, some new information about this particular case.

Instead I get a long rant about the evils of investment bankers. Might be a great political point, and it was certainly a nice rant, but it had nothing to do with the title except in the broadest sense.

In short, I felt tricked to read the piece. There was only a sentence or two to directly support the title. The rest was a screed on the generic problem. This is the kind of article where people who are pissed about bankers (and I count myself among them) will read and nod their heads and totally agree with the author -- all the while forgetting that the meat of the article provides much heat, little light.
