I'm profoundly deaf, and wish I had thought of making this post. I've lost track of the number of times I have been put off a product because their only description is in video form.

I sometimes forgive start-ups for not captioning videos, but I think it's inexcusable when a large multinational corporation publishes a video with no captions -- especially if they pay for live captioning for employees in meetings (e.g., by using http://www.captionfirst.com/).

Flippa is just really noisy. It seems like the majority of listings are short-lived scraping sites with no revenue, or sites with revenue being sold for outrageous amounts of money.

As a buyer, I'd like to see a Flippa-like site that only sells established, legitimate sites and businesses. Basically, the high-end antique shop alternative to the flea market that is Flippa.

Comments like these are nauseatingly pompous. He never says anything about getting violent. You are projecting your own views on the matter.

Maybe his response would be to call the interviewer's boss and describe the actions. Maybe his response would be to write a blog post and do all the SEO in the world to make sure it shows up #1 every time someone Googles the company in question. You are assuming that the reaction he wants to contain is punching the interviewer in the face - when he never says anything to that effect at all. There are plenty of possible actions that are not violent and are not morally equivalent to the interviewer but are still plenty regrettable.

The Pirate Bay's LOSS proposal is so far from reality that it's close to a joke. It's not 'low orbit' and just because Raspberry Pi is small it doesn't help you with keeping the UAV up there for a length of time. And such a device would be easy to find via RDF and would be jammable and incredibly vulnerable to attack. It would be easy for a government to cause a UAV to crash.

If they really want to do something I'd suggest that they build a screen saver that allows them to distribute their database across machines all over the world.

I don't know if it's the case, but I imagine the more serious injustices are more black and white, where as sexism is almost all gray. One person's "I can't believe he said that" is another person's "You should have heard my daddy talk to my momma".

The quality of the code images honestly put me off reading the article.
There can be a lot of hang overs in languages that aim to demean and diminish people. Calling a black man "boy", or a woman "girl" is a way to belittle them.

"Boy" vs "Girl" is an interesting one. It's not uncommon, as you pointed out, to call adult women "girl". However you rarely in the straight male world do people refer to adult men as "boy". However in the gay male world, sometimes "boy" is used (e.g. this collection of gay short films 'Boys on Film': http://www.amazon.co.uk/Boys-Film-Hard-Love-DVD/dp/B001L5JMQ... ). This shows that "boy" (and hence "girl") is a slightly sexualised way to talk about someone. Should you be using sexualised terms in a professional environment? No, so say "women".

(BTW: Just because your google search found some results that back up what you say, but might be a bit misogynistic doesn't mean google is right. "Jew Watch" still shows up above the fold if I search for "Jew", but it would be wrong of me to excuse anti-Semitism based on that reasoning)
I think the big point is being missed: whatever technology our military masters decide to use, we can use it too.

Do you see it as unreasonable that people in both situations pay you more attention?
Possibly a bit OT:

Larger events can be harder to coordinate, but I've often used food in various ways at work. Usually, bringing in a cake or something like that to celebrate something, and often something small ("hey, the build server works!" or "hey, 3 people had a birthday in December!")

It can certainly be overdone, but can also make you memorable to people. I brought cookies and milk (for up to, say, 6 people) to a job interview 7 years ago. The day I did, it happened to be the company owner's birthday, which was quite a coincidence. The owner called me up a few weeks ago asking if I was available for some work.

He remembered me all those years later because of the $7 I spent before a job interview. Not because of the paper my resume was on, or how cleverly it was worded, or the color of the tie I wore, or what I drove, or what my code looked like, or how I used vim instead of emacs, or what certifications I had, or what color my hair was.
Another way to say conversion went from 0.5% to 1.3% is to say visitors were over 2.5 times more likely to convert if there was video than if there wasn't. In those terms, random fluctuations seem less likely as the reason for the difference.
Great video. I'm not certain, but other time of flight approaches like this have had limitations in range. First, because light intensity decreases by a power of 2 with distance traveled, and second, because the MOS gate (if it has one) sees larger distances aliased as shorter ones. See MS Kinect for similar issues.

I am ruling out nuclear propulsion because I assume The Pirate Bay do not have access to a supply of fissionable materials. Otherwise, it's Game Over for the MPAA.

Maybe The Pirate Bay should get in contact with North Korea, they'd be more than happy to help undermine the capitalist system from the inside.

Seriously, though, I think this entire thing is merely a PR stunt by the The Pirate Bay. They were never even thinking about doing that. Just like a company they need PR to continue to exist and get donations. Remember, TPB also "tried to buy" Sea Land at some point in time, an oil platform that some people claim is a country? Anyway, it is a good PR stunt, many startups can learn from that.

If you're calling any female co-workers "girls" in conversations at or about the workplace, you're doing it wrong.

There is a long history of society downplaying women's contributions in the workforce by using cutesy terms like "girls", and some of the definitions you've cited here reflect that. But just because a term like "career girl" was once in wide use doesn't mean that it's still appropriate today. (Or for that matter that it ever was: can you imagine anyone ever having used the term "career boy"?) Much like the ridiculous term "co-ed" for "woman who we decided to allow into college", its time has thankfully come and gone.

You say a video is best, even though you also say that a video isn't best for your target audience?

Accessibility makes things better for everyone, not just those people who need it. If you'd approached this with accessibility in mind you'd have realised that a video was sub-optimal, and come up with some form of text. That (while not covering everything) would have been more helpful for more people. As can be seen from the comments here.

Creeps are a part of every industry; they are more aptly described as "Bullies" - and can be both male and female (though I admit the male, sexist, bully is very prevalent in our industry).

These people tend not to just be sexist; they bully their male workers as well - crude remarks for example, put downs, superior attitudes.

I once had a female (client) lean over the desk to me, with a low cut blouse, and say "My cleavage intimidates you doesn't it".

I suggest that, as this blogger noted, the minority of creeps & bullies aren't really the problem. You can deal with them a lot more easily by moving on, firing them, refusing their custom - etc.

The issue is the sort of subtle remarks that the people making them don't realise are upsetting. They are not unlike-able, unlike bullies, just a bit clueless.

And fixing this is not easy, because you might really get on with the guys in your office, just wish they'd stop commenting on your ass!

Funny. But I don't think you tackle the above poster's point.

Photoshop is the defacto standard tool for all kinds of image processing (not just photo-editing), and many (most?) of its day-to-day users actually don't use a significant portion of its features, which just clog up their systems.

I for one use photoshop every second day in my line of work, and 98% of what I need it for I could have done in photoshop 5, 10 years ago.

"Elektroniczna procedura przeznaczona jest dla tzw. spraw upominawczych, które wytaczają głównie dostawcy masowych usług, np. zakłady energetyczne czy operatorzy komórkowi. Chodzi w tych sprawach o należności dobrze udokumentowane, a dłużnikami są zwykle osoby fizyczne, które zazwyczaj nie kwestionują sądowego nakazu. Gdy nie ma odwołania, nabiera on skutku prawomocnego wyroku."

It means e-court is for cases where there is good documentation, and persons that were judged can appeal, but if they don't (and they usually don't), these cases are processed automatically.

"Tylko w 4 tys. spraw e-sąd nie wydał nakazów i np. oddalił pozew, umarzając postępowanie. Sprzeciwów złożono zaledwie 3229, a więc w nieco ponad 2 proc. spraw. W takich sytuacjach sprawy przekazywane są do zwykłych sądów."

Only in 4 tousand cases e-court changed default decision, there were also 3229 appeals (2% of cases - this artcle is old a few months so this won't add to 2 000 000 cases). In such cases the matter is transferred to regular court.

We used to do this at Gilt. The problem we found was that eventually the warmer wouldn't be able to get through every page of the site before the cache expired, and users would start falling through to the rails instances. Despite there being hundreds of rails instances, this would kill the site in seconds.

We eventually moved to decoupled services, which were able to do much smarter caching.
When working in UIKit developers are warned now to use images that are larger than 1024x1024 because that is the limit on the size if a texture in openGLES. I wouldn't be surprised to see this being doubled for the retina and Apple using that as the hard limit.

( You should avoid creating UIImage objects that are greater than 1024 x 1024 in size. Besides the large amount of memory such an image would consume, you may run into problems when using the image as a texture in OpenGL ES or when drawing the image to a view or layer - http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/...)

Adobe unveils Photoshop CS6 beta
For the time being I'd like to keep the programming he does related to something physical - like the lego robot you program using the mindstorms environment. At his age I think he could become bored with just shuffling bits or putting text onto a screen, and anything sophisticated enough to impress him and hold his interest (probably graphical) might be to complex. Also the challenge of physically building a controllable robot is a nice contrast to the abstract programming task.

I'd like to try him with Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu/) before moving on to text-based programming (if he wants to). Python is a good idea: we could learn it together...

I do have a netduino, and he's seem me working on that, but C# requires a lot of up-front knowledge. Arduino and wiring might be in his range.

He's a bright kid and I've learned a lot just by seeing how he conceptualizes these ideas.
This problem will solve by itself.

Well, I had in mind things like, if you're trying to evaluate a flu vaccine or headache medication, you can obviously do much better than a ten year study of all-cause mortality.

But in the context of something like prostate cancer, maybe all-cause mortality is appropriate for people who are already sick, because you are trying to figure out how the risk of death from the disease balances against the risk of death from the treatment, and where the latter may manifest in nonobvious ways, e.g. many people with prostate cancer actually die of heart attacks. Was the stress of cancer treatment a contributing factor? All-cause mortality statistics might help answer that question.

However, I believe a link to tiljs.com is more valuable than just the direct link of the article since tiljs contains not only 1 link but several (which can be found in the comments section).

Sewers are often below several meters of concrete/rock/earth, interwoven with steel reinforcements, metal tubing, wires, power conduits and other stuff that would make for very poor wireless reception even when directly above the ratbot. The airborne approach on the other hand guarantees maximum range.

Perhaps a small, solar-powered dirigible would be a better approach? They don't require massive amounts of power just to stay airborne and solar cells (battery buffered) could arguably provide enough power to stay stationary in most wind situations.

A miniaturized version of this perhaps:

This will only get worse as Google progressively decides to plussify Chrome.

Out of all of Google's products, Chrome is the one that worries me the most. Using Chrome means that you just upped Google's reach on you by many fold, they now are running code directly tied to your machine and not within the constraints of a web page or app.

Are they invading your device privacy through Chrome? I dunno, probably not yet, but they can, and how long until they decide to? Given their history, specially their recent history, I don't plan on giving them the chance to do so.
I know the guidelines. However, there is value added by linking to tiljs rather than only the direct link.
Why are they images in the first place though? It's just code.
