There is a common law defence (known as the "proudman and dayman defence") which can be summarised as having an honest an reasonable belief in a state of FACTS which, if true, would make the act legal.

Note that ignorance of the law is no defence, and dishonest or unreasonable ignorance of the facts is also no defence.

Many parallels to the negative feedback AOP received when it first appeared on developer horizons. It took a while for people to see where they did and did not fit logically into their problem solving toolkit. I can't predicate the future but Macro's fit into a similar bucket. I don't see them as a tool I would apply everyday but on the occasion I needed them the alternatives are blunt instruments.

I'm certainly not an expert in this area and have only toyed around with the SIP and Retronym's examples so take everything I say with a huge grain of salt. But I do hope everyone critical of the SIP and the concept has at least done the same.

I'm not explaining myself clearly. Let me make this explicit.

Things that are NOT important to me:

1. Knowing every programming language and platform

2. Wanting to know every programming language and platform

3. What programming languages and platforms you think are most important to learn

4. Why you don't like C++11 or think it's not worth learning.

Things that ARE important to me:

1. Natural curiosity in those I work with

2. NOT working with people who are lazy and only do the bare minimum to keep a "good enough" job

I am no Santorum fan, but you should at least reflect what he said accurately. He stated not every one should be encouraged to go to university for their chosen career path. i.e. plumbers should not feel pressure to get a BA. This concept is not entirely wrong and is embraced by very liberal cultures in Europe. US culture has a misguided impression that everyone has to go to university to be successful in life.

Different taxes and laws.

In EU, Apple hardware or games are often priced at the same amount as in the US, but in Euros, not $. No wonder: the price includes value-added tax (20% or so, depending on the country) and the seller has to account for significantly stricter consumer protection laws. For example, the standard warranty period is one year in the US; in my country, the law requires two years; that's got to affect the price.

FWIW, there are ways to deal with the read-only limitation. Here is an example in an OLTP scenario:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/dataplatforminsider/archive/2011/...

"With native or custom partitioning, for example, you could use a sliding window scenario, having a static set of partitions in a table with a ColumnStore index, and load current data (say, for today only) into a separate table with no ColumnStore index. Once the current day rolls into the next, you can continue loading the new day’s data into yet another table, create the ColumnStore index on yesterday’s (now unchanging) daily table, and then switch it into the partitioned table. You could make this relatively seamless to end users by creating a view that unions the partitioned table with the “current” table. You can also consider loading daily data into a non-ColumnStore table and, at the end of each day, drop the ColumnStore index from the reporting table, insert all of yesterday’s data, and rebuild the ColumnStore index."
For books and papers in non western alphabet languages, the ipad is a much much better reading experience IMO.
The columnstore indexes are purely read-only; they will not be updated without requiring a rebuild.

However, you can create columnstore indexes on specific partitions, and thus, by partitioning your source data, you can continue to add new data in new partitions. As most DW/"big data" solutions use partitioning anyways, this is a usable solution, giving you the benefits of the readonly performance as well as the maintainability aspects, while still allowing you to feed in new data.

Columnstore indexes are not meant for OLTP type solutions, so there's no need for realtime regular data deletion; it simply doesn't happen on this kind of historical data. You might switch out a partition of your data, or you might switch in a partition of new data, but you won't change the actual data itself.

Comparing SQL Servers columnstore index implementation with other columnstore based databases doesn't make sense. I won't laud columnstore indexes as a revolutionary new feature, but the way it's implemented is new, AFAIK. Comparing it to "normal" columnstore based databases will make SQL Server look bad - but the thing is, it's not meant to compete with those. Use it where it makes sense.

It's largely driven by the people who buy the software having a complex business need that they want to fulfil, but who don't know the best solution, if it even exists.

So they surround themselves with advisors (consultants, project managers, architects, etc), some of them good, some of them bad, and between the 3 groups (the buyers, vendors, and advisors), they try to come to an agreement where all 3 are happy.

The sales process is basically nudging all 3 groups into positions where everyone is happy, and can be a long and painful process.

Name one reason to wear a band t-shirt other than social pressure or narcissism?

Your argument isn't an argument against suits, it applies to any item of clothing other than the absolutely most basic, utilitarian items. It's an argument against fashion and self expression through clothing of all sorts.

Now if this is what you genuinely believe then that's fine but I hope you're applying the same standards you apply to those wearing suits to people wearing band t-shirts, anything branded where an equivalent non-branded item is available, or frankly anything that has been chosen for any reason at all other than it's absolute functional value.
Wouldn't git merge --squash do this for you?
I strongly disagree with this.

Wired's articles are reasonably paged, and the complete article is very long. On many devices (eg phones) long pages don't always render well. Additionally, a publication like Wired deserves the page views for the good article.

It is different for publications that only have a paragraph per page.

And there's nothing even vaguely approaching a hacker uniform is there?

The issue with this argument is that almost anything you can say about suits applies to all clothing.

It's no co-incidence that during the dot com boom managers started dressing down. Did that make them better managers than when they wore suits? Or were the good ones still good and the bad ones still bad, they'd just adopted a different uniform?

If you pick on a particular uniform (in this case suits) rather than the concept that uniform matters then you don't solve the problem you just move or hide it.

They would happened the same exact way if Ron Paul was president at the time. We would have stayed out of it until attacked, Congress would declare war, and then we would win and come home in 4 years. (or 2 in the case of WWI)

Do you think it's doomed to failure because of the non physical proximity between the founders ? If not, how to find such a partner ?

A very general difference is being paid for your labor vs your thoughts.

People paid for their labor are paid by the hour and get overtime. People paid for their thoughts usually get paid per year, and don't get overtime.

I guess the general idea is that you are always thinking, so how would it be possible to decide when you are or are not on the clock?

(Obviously this is a generalization with lots of exceptions, it's just so you have at least an idea of the reasoning (since you asked).)
"According to another top official also involved with the program, the NSA made an enormous breakthrough several years ago in its ability to cryptanalyze, or break, unfathomably complex encryption systems employed by not only governments around the world but also many average computer users in the US. The upshot, according to this official: “Everybody’s a target; everybody with communication is a target.”

What do people think this refers to? Somebody managed to compile sslsniff, or something more significant? Have they found a key weakness in RSA or similar? Are they just bruteforcing all those crappy ssl certs that are floating around? Does it refer to realtime decoding of GSM? Don't we all believe they can do that anyway? I guess we can only speculate.

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get me...

Just to present an alternative: I found for apps which don't use many forms the above plugins can be overkill. I used something like the following:

https://gist.github.com/2049308

..to provide simple form-to-model and model-to-form conversions, with appropriate validation. Just decorate the form elements with data-bind="property" and away you go. (I'm using Bootstrap so the validation is tied heavily to that).

(I'm certainly not trying to denigrate the above plugins - obviously different apps have different requirements and as pointed out, if you have many forms then the above plugins make much more sense. The fact that Backbone lets you make these decisions is for me a nice feature).

lock down the computers so they don't have access without supervision (not that difficult)

I'm curious to hear what you had in mind. Hell even if are a super hard core network security guru and manage to completely lock down your home network, it's basically impossible to a find a point in any town where you aren't within a short walk of an open wifi network.

Just started reading a history of the NSA [1], and it's very interesting. E.g., the execution of the Rosenbergs was a travesty of due process, but the US had secretly decrypted a message listing them as Soviet spies. Another example, a midlevel employee of US SIGINT efforts told the KGB that the US was capturing and decrypting basically all Russian communication, and the Russian response was to harden their protocols (far less radio traffic, much greater use of one-time pads, basically.) The traitor was never prosecuted, because reporting the evidence against him would have revealed a SIGINT source.

Cryptology became the poor stepchild of US SIGINT efforts after this, because it yielded so little useful intelligence regarding Russia. As a result, the North Korean invasion which started the Korean war took the US completely by surprise. The US was subsequently able to crush the invasion in part because the North Koreans transmitted all communications in the clear, so they often knew what NK military units were going to do before they knew themselves. It took the US about a month to spin this capability up, though, because non-Russian communications had been completely neglected.

This neglect burned the US again when China decided to enter the war. The US could not believe this was happening, despite mounting SIGINT evidence, so China again had the advantage of surprise. China actually was encrypting its military communications in a way that the US could not decrypt (at least initially; I haven't finished reading this section of the book) which gave them a huge advantage in the initial engagements with US forces.

That's only an option if you're shuttering the product of your own will. If you're part of a talent acquisition (which is the case with Posterous and Milk), the purchasing company would have to make that call, so you should really address the blog post to them.

It's unlikely any of them would: they just paid a bunch of money and acquired the team plus source, and even if they don't use the acquired source, open-sourcing it is extra work and/or a liability. The team, on the other hand, may still have faint hopes that the company will do something with their product.

In the cases where it's clear that the team's energies will be focused elsewhere the team could try to include it in the terms of the acquisition, but were I in those shoes I'd probably not want to risk souring the upside or acquisition as a whole.
