In case you haven't been following what has been going on. The NY Times published a tabloidesque hit piece on Assange, and has failed to defend Wikileaks on the basis of journalistic freedom.

It's pretty clear that the Times management consists of war hawks who oppose Wikileaks b/c of their neoconservative political beliefs and desire to please those with political power.

Think about when the last time the NY Times published any remotely controversial investigative journalism... oh yeah it was the articles that supported the claims that Saddam had WMDs.

Strangely, the Times (a good but ardently neoconservative) paper still manages to fool progressives into thinking that it offers a sympathetic voice. Sadly the pressures of competing in the online world have left the paper with no choice but to sell off its journalistic integrity year after year.

If anything, one would hope that a paper like the Times would have taken a skeptical but journalistically sharp look at the leaked info and would have held off on the ad hominem attack on the Wikileaks founder, at least until some evidence was offered in support of the allegations against him.

And no, I don't think the total buffoonery written by Krugman, Dowd, and Herbert counts for any progressiveness points. If anything the three are a sideshow act with no relevance to the issues that matter.

He didn't do anything harmful though. He just demonstrated the capability.

It's the equivalent of making a word document pop up calc.exe. This proves that you've broken the security, but doesn't cause harm.

You have to actually do it to be taken seriously, especially with unreceptive vendors like Apple.

There is really no reason to behave in a hostile way towards a researcher that does this. He's telling you about the problem.

In the security industry, there are many people who seek and find vulnerabilities. Some of them report them, and some of them keep them private and exploit them secretly to attack people's property, or privately sell to others who do the same. Selling these to the underground is big business now.

Let's subtract the people who report things from the above equation (because we ban and vilify them). Now what does your ecosystem look like?

Dumb move, Apple. Dumb move.

I liked the old one. This feels like a branding play to stand out against the ubiquitous Facebook blue, but I don't like it. Burnt orange usually isn't a good look for the web.
Very impressive response rate; I'd have expected something significantly lower.

I'd love to see a map of all the responses; I suspect it would have quite an interesting geographical distribution.

The sad thing: someone will read this and go after the guy for littering rather than saying "awesome!".
I think I am going to get one just for the few trips I make to the USA every year (Canadian). I have an address in the USA so I doubt it would be a problem.

This could be just the thing I have been looking for to check my emails and servers (religiously) at a decent cost compared to hotel and internet cafe prices. Not to mention the added convenience value. Some places charge almost $19/day for short term access so paying $140/year would be a steal.
Surely you don't think that having arbitrary code placed within the IOS AppStore isn't a security risk do you? Once malicious code has been approved in the store an attacker need only find a way to break out of the sandbox, which I am sure is possible.
I think you have to define market forces. The market force is simple:

"You want me. If you don't pay me enough, I will go somewhere else that will!"

In other words, as Adam Smith correctly noted, it is a question of who has power in coercive negotiations. Consequently CEO's get paid so much because they are so much more powerful than workers in that negotiation process, not because they are worth that much more.

But a lot of market forces boil down to this sort of power difference analysis. We think of a free market where the consumer has the power and the company does not, but I wonder how often that is really true.

But a lot of this boils down to the reason I think folks should try to be able to be self-employed-- it means you negotiate with companies from a position of greater power. I suspect if 60% of the population was self-employed doing everything from janitorial services through database engineering, we'd have no need of minimum wage laws because anyone anywhere could turn down a job offer.
Adobe was founded by a 42 and 43 year old, if it makes you feel any better. And if anything, we seem to be aging more slowly than way back then (1982). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Systems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Geschke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Warnock
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It was enacted following Enron and Worldcom to prevent corporate malfeasance. Sadly it gave a lot of auditors a lot of power which translated to 'controls' placed on the work environment. Some make sense (e.g. no read/write access to production for development). Others make no sense (e.g. no access to log files from production for developers troubleshooting issues). It really depends on the company and the audit process.
Well, he has basically tossed ~2,000 plastic bottles into the ocean that have not been recovered (yet). That's not a small number of bottles.

It seems cool, until you try to consider the externalities he has casually handed off.

Now, if he had used glass bottles, it would probably work out a little better. Though it still takes a long time, glass can be broken down by the ocean and incorporated into sand, which is part glass anyways.
Ray Kroc who is arguably more transformative bought McDonalds at age 59 and turned it into the empire it is now. His autobiography Grinding It Out is an inspiring read.
I find the issue of technological change and class warfare interesting.

I think overall technological change can lead to widespread social empowerment, but the most politically entrenched workers with the loudest voices are those who are least likely to benefit from it.

On the other hand, the kid in India using a $35 tablet to learn calculus or the people starting businesses using Kickstarter are hugely empowered by it.

The main reason I mentioned technological change is just to reinforce that productive work is a moving target, for all factors of production (including labor). It's sentimental to look back fondly on the blacksmith or the wheelwright or the person who made nails by hand... just as it is to look fondly upon the economic fluke that has allowed many Americans to live well above the poverty line with virtually no skills, in spite of living amid an economy that has transferred mostly to knowledge work.

I will look into Belloc's stuff too, links?

For some people, work is solely a way to pay bills; those who work to live, not live to work.

I also think it's reasonable that while some people do like to be their own boss, others may prefer to be soldiers in an army (those on the front lines, doing the base work), as opposed to the ruler. Others want to be generals (management).

Maybe they're not comfortable in the responsibility, or just feel their abilities best align in a different work structures than those you may prefer.
> "WikiLeaks was a journalistic entity"

WL and its supporters like to call it an "intelligence agency" (Assange himself has said this). That's more than just a "journalistic entity".

Why is anyone surprised when various governments treat WL like an intelligence agency?
Deutsche Telekom, Daimler, Bosch, BMW, VW have R&D centers in Silicon Valley. Maybe you can work for them here then transfer to Germany.
A friend posted a suicide alert as a joke on Facebook a couple weeks ago and two days later the police came knocking. They ended up keeping him in hospital for two days "just in case". The only reason he was there was that someone doesn't get his humor and reported it even though most people knew he was fine.
Como Ligar a Una Mujer: 5 *Tips* Para Ligar R�pidamente
In fairness, many of the bugs which enable jailbreaking also represent serious security problems. For instance, the various iterations of web-based exploits fundamentally do represent remote code execution, a serious bug in any browser environment. On any other platform, we'd classify them exclusively as security vulnerabilities; however, on iOS, the user has to take advantage of security vulnerabilities to break into their own system.
Simple:

1) Some people like following rules, not making them.
2) Financial stability and job security.

My personal observation: I think the set of people who like working in large corporate structures overlaps significantly with the set of people who really enjoyed the structure and orderliness of school.

I mostly agree, but that mentality certainly came from somewhere.

I think it's pretty well established that MySQL was the default data storage system (I say to include a broad range of systems) for web applications in the open-source world for a good chunk of the last decade.

And there's at least some reason for a default to exist. There are many applications where the author(s) don't have particular data storage/management expertise, and they'll be looking to use the "best practice" or "default" system that everyone else is using. So it sounds entirely reasonably to me that there will, again, exist a default way to store and manage data.

And it also seems natural that various systems will vie for that title, because there are a huge number of potential users there. Others will avoid that title because they want only experienced users to be involved (which I think is misguided, but it seems there are always a few).

So, I agree with you in the strict sense that there's no bestforeverythingontheweb datastore, and it's way too early to assign that title to anyone right now, but striving for broad appeal is certainly a reasonable thing to do.
I certainly don't claim to be a genius, but at 41 I'm writing the best code of my life.
If you need to provide a breakthrough in a scientific field, you need to know first what has already been done. Even Einstein took some time to understand metric tensor for his general theory of relativity.

Point is we may not be able to solve the aging problem, however as we progress we our children will be smarter to grasp complex subjects in shorter time. How much short time? That will depend on the intellect of the child. When I was in 8th standard my father told me that if I can I should finish all the math books upto 12th standard in a year. It may not be a full proof knowledge but it will give me some vision about what the math world looks like. I tried and succeeded partially (No claims here just what happend in my life). It was wonderful to know the world of maths. So we need to expose our young minds to so called advance topics in the subject of their choice. We do not know who is a genius. Moreover, a genius will eventually find a way to solve a problem that he/she wants to solve. Why? My guess - because he/she is a genius(also we do not know how a human brain works now and how it will work in the future).
This guy has a better open rate than us. Need to find out what subject line he's using.
edit: I guess it is worth noting that the misinterpreted public post and resulting hospital time was worse than whatever minor crisis than he was dealing with at the time. Fortunately no major medical bills (Canada) but he definitely lost a few contracts.
Don't discount the value of family connections, whether to family-run businesses or through friends. I turned down three jobs (two family firms and one using friends in the oil industry) because I did not feel I wanted a life beholden to that system.

Most of our productivity comes from what we learn at our jobs, especially when our jobs (as you say) include a good portion of "school". Helping your children land good jobs is a very good way of passing on skills.
I certainly agree that it meets the definition, and this wouldn't work out well for a million people to do, but fortunately a million people don't do it.

If that's the problem, it's a different problem. If I'm reading the article right, he did submit the exploit, companies like Apple do have channels to receive and respond to vulnerabilities and to credit people who find and report them. There's nothing in the information released so far on this that suggests he was, in fact, facing such a problem.
Because Visa and Mastercard are private companies that can decide whom they want or don't want as customers. They'll deny you from being a merchant if you have poor credit, too. They take on risk with every new merchant they accept, and I can see how WikiLeaks might pose a greater risk than most. If a group's supporters are willing to DoS visa.com and mastercard.com, I wouldn't put it past them to make large donations with stolen credit card numbers either, and Visa and Mastercard are on the hook for the chargebacks.

And, of course, since money is speech, it's fully within your rights to donate to wikileaks (cash, check, wire transfer, money order), just as its within Visa's rights not to accept Wikileaks as a customer.

EDIT: And just to be clear, I'm not trying to argue that there are no political motivations behind the decisions of Visa and Mastercard. I'm just answering the question about why this isn't for some reason illegal.
Funny. After 12 years of working for myself, I'm back to working for someone else. I wasn't good at operating a company that was much more then myself an 1 or - in the good times - 2 other people. I felt trapped by the job, as if taking a vacation would leave everything in shambles.

Working for someone else I don't have to:

* Deal directly with complaints
* Chase after money when people are late in paying
* Be an accountant
* Be a salesman

Working for someone else I do get to:

* Leave my work at work.
* Keep mostly to a 35-45 hour week
* Collect my paycheck every two weeks
* Go on vacation knowing everything will be fine while I'm gone
* Focus on what I'm good at, and what I enjoy
* Work flexible hours
* Lead a generally less stressful life.

So ... the real question is -- why do some people want the stress and uncertainty of being self employed?

>Either you have separation of data and presentation or you don't. HTML didn't. HTML5 still doesn't.

Is it really so desirable? I understand the appeal in theory, but in practice is it really worth it in most cases?

Or perhaps I'm so scarred by HTML and CSS that I can't even visualize a web with true separation of data and presentation that actually makes life better.

Edit: some of the other comments discuss this. Of course I see the advantage of abstraction and reusability. What I'm really asking about is the advantage, or even feasibility, of a pure, or strict, separation of data and presentation.
Either I don't understand the meaning behind your response or you didn't understand danso's comment.

My thought was that he was stating that you need both to make a complete project, which is true.

Your last sentence suggests you think HTML/CSS is only good for simple websites? I don't quite understand what you mean.

It seems danso was saying what you might be suggesting, based on whether I understand your comment.

Either way, could you clarify what you mean? I think the "No offence" part is throwing me off.
yes thats what i was asking?
In Time Movie Breakdown [RTMC 2]
I’m Speaking at the MongoDB Talk Tomorrow: NodeJS and MongoDB at LookupLink
Hi all,

This is the first time I’ve posted here. I understand (doing some research) that HN is wary of “Ask HN: Review my startup” posts from new accounts without any/much activity. For that reason, this post is aimed primarily to generate interest and attendees to check out our talk tomorrow (11/8 at 6pm) in Sunnyvale. We’ll be speaking about how we’ve used MongoDB and Node JS at LookupLink. Please come if it sounds interesting! Below is a link and a description to the event details:

http://www.meetup.com/San-Francisco-MongoDB-User-Group/events/36531032/

“LookupLink provides a platform for individuals to easily access digital content through short tags and QR codes. We hope that one day people wont have to pass up on a car they are interested in buying, an event they'd like to attend, or a person they'd like to contact because they didn't have a convenient way to reference that information.

Our stack runs NodeJS and MongoDB and lives on Dotcloud (our awesome PaaS). We are very enthusiastic about the technologies that we use! MongoDB helps us stay agile, by not locking us into a schema, which helps us stay highly available while we continue to develop our product. We are a small team, so remaining flexible is essential to staying afloat. One of our challenges was finding a compromise between being completely schema less, and incorporating some structure. We managed to do so using some Node JS frameworks and our stack has never been happier, speaking only Javascript. Not to mention our developers too.”

Again, we know that this is being posted from a new account, but if you’d like to check out our startup and have any feedback, we would be very grateful to hear it.

www.lookuplink.com

Essentially yes, we are a QR code provider, but what differentiates us primarily is 1) the convenience of printing formatted flyers with your QR code and short tag (aimed at individuals and small groups wanting to post flyers linking to their content), and 2) our short tags. Short tags are convenient references to more info, something you could easily remember and verbally share with someone (e.g. “Lookup ‘A12’ on LookupLink for more info”). Anticipating a large amount of links being created, our free links provide users with a random short tag which expires after a few weeks (convenient for a craigslist ad, an upcoming event, or your contact info for networking at a convention).

Thank you for your time!!

Javascript Module Pattern In Depth
Did you guys see teamtreehouse.com that launched today?

This space is an interesting one, as the material can be taught thru videos & code quizzes or through gaming type systems.

Though I wonder which is the best way to teach this material in a broad sense; gaming or videos with coding quizzes?
These are pretty much the exact same reasons for me.

Ran my own business for 5 years, and went back to working for a big corporation for the easier hours, reliable/consistent pay, and only having to do what I do well, without all the extra side-tasks distracting/annoying me.

I'd consider running another business one day, but i'm in no rush... I see this as a cruisy period where I can save up money, enjoy a social life, pay off a house, etc.
The wrong assumption they are making is that the pace of science is constant, so that Nobel prizes (which are given out at a constant rate) are a rough approximation of progress. In physics, at least, this is very wrong.

In fact, fundamental theoretical physics has been more-or-less stagnant since the late 60's when the Standard Model was finished. But they have to keep handing out Nobel prizes. So the outcome is predictable: you see prizes being awarded to people who are fleshing out ideas which have been known for a half century; the low-hanging fruit has already been picked, so you have to work for years in the nitty-gritty to push the bounds. Hence, the prize winners are old.

But this doesn't tell us anything about physicists and when they are capable of genius (and how could it? does anyone really think that human nature has changed?), it tells us about the stagnation of the field.

The really interesting question is this: is the stagnation of physics more attributable to (a) some combination of fundamental technological/intellectual limitations or (b) institutional/social pathologies in Academia. Most people say '(a)', but I (as a young physicist) worry that '(b)' plays a substantial role.
By market mindshare, I mean first to make an impact and delight the user.

I didn't say first to market.

I strongly disagree. If you are the person tasked with implementing password verification, then you really should learn enough about the field to give a rough explanation of why you've used bcrypt (or whatever you use). If you know what MD5 (and other simple hashes)'s deficiency is (and Hale explains it), then you should know how bcrypt, etc. solve that problem. One should follow expert advice but not blindly.
