The difference is that each environment for non-Web apps - Mac, Windows, KDE etc - has each own somewhat well defined look and feel, that applications should follow in order to feel native. That's not true for Web apps in different Web browsers - they are supposed to look the same. Qt compromises that native experience by letting you target multiple platforms. For Web toolkits, at worst you'll end up with an app that doesn't stand out (e.g. by using Bootstrap) but certainly not with one that won't blend in.
The "curse of bullshit" is the curse many geeks have that small talk has no point and the curse many "entrepreneurs" have that they're doing the most challenging, amazing, world-changing work in the world.
It's worth not being put off by the 20 dollar offers, a lot of people don't take them seriously and only look at the more realistic offers and if they do go for one of the ridiculously low ones, they almost certainly aren't worth working with.

The word of mouth jobs in my experience generally pay better and tend to be more interesting but I've had good experiences with freelancer.co.uk in particular when I've wanted bits and pieces while waiting for bigger pieces to start etc.

Blackberries expanded aggressively into developing markets, as well as low-end markets in developed countries, by offering lower rate plans compared to traditional smartphones.

This created a temporary lull where the gigantic market share losses being taken in North America and Europe were being absorbed by sales increases in developing markets - lower-margin sales, mind you, on products targeted at the lowest end of the segment as opposed to BB's upmarket positioning during its heyday.

So, to recap: high-margin, high-end sales being completely decimated everywhere, but countered by expansion into low-margin, low-end markets at high-volume.

And now, of course, the low-margin, low-end markets are being eaten alive by Android. So BlackBerry's time is truly up. This is reflected now in RIM's publicly available finances - the fiscal reality simply lagged behind market sentiment by a couple of years, that's all.

I will make a wager: in 3 years you should go back to South America and Australia - I'm willing to bet that RIM's market share in those countries will resemble Blackberry's market share in North America today.
Isn't the solution here that only BMW authorized devices should be able to connect to the ODB? Or is that already the case? I guess it just takes one unscrupulous dealer to upload their certificate.
Only way to not pollute air and waterways at all is to cease all industry and somehow dispose of the large percentage of the human population. Otherwise, they'd have some impact on the environment, it's inevitable. This impact can be bigger or lesser, and can be measured against they usefulness of what comes out of it. Of course, producers argue that their products are very useful and their impacts on the environment are minimal and well controlled. They may be wrong or misrepresenting how actually good is what they in fact do, but I never heard anybody arguing, for example "let's destroy the environment, to hell with it, who needs it anyway". Did you?

Same for tobacco sales and advertising - of course, many people - especially those who enjoy smoking - think it is a good thing that it is legal. They also think it is a good thing that they, being sane adults, can choose how to behave and manage their own bodies and property. Some people think instead it is a good thing to deny certain people choice in what they can do with their bodies and their property, for their own good. There's obviously some disagreement on the topic, but again, I don't see how the former are more evil than the latter. If anything, I'd prefer a smoker over somebody that wants to control minute details of my behavior using government coercion any day of the week, but that's my opinion of what is good. But I'd really want to know why you not only claim it's evil but also claim everybody who disagrees with you on these topics knows they are evil. That's an ambitious statement, I'd like to see some substantiation of it.

Tech Start-Up questions
I've asked on /g and they said me to ask here, so I'm newbie to this site. After censoring of rude words (like fa) my original thread, here it is. I hope you guys can help us, any advice will be very appreciated, and if I can help in anything to you, I'll do it.

Me and many of my friends are making a prototype of some hardware shit. Because here in Spain the helps opf making an enterprise are shit, and the info of making new products on the universities are none, I call you sapients for help.

2. Copyright shit. If I make a new product, how can we copyright/copyleft it? I suppose GNU is for software

That dichotomy is convenient, but false. News organizations have no problem attracting new talent. It is difficult to get a job as a journalist.

The only news organizations that both have had a print product and meet your latter description stopped printing because they'd squeezed all of the profit out of it that was there to have, and their "smaller but rising revenue" from their online operations are all that remain. Until you can point to an online business model that is more profitable than print, preserving print and its attendant profits was clearly the right strategy.
Hm, not quite. At least in the UK, we've got:

Race Relations Act 1976

Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994

Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006

Also a load of stuff inherited from the EU which is very restrictive.

Unfortunately for us, the intent of the laws was good but when you take a look at how the laws are applied, they are usually used via interpretation to silence and detain people with an opinion, be it valid or not.

It's free speech for all (including the bad stuff), or no speech at all. The latter is all too common.

Why does the elitism inherent to "every profession" of the "last century" have more relevance than a piece of socially critical art by a writer who has made a career of cultural criticism (however flawed). Is the critique of news in The Newsroom irrelevant to this conversation because of the platform or because the guy had a theatre degree? Both?

Regardless, I don't get your point. All things fail? Everything comes to an end? Great. Write an existential letter to NYT.

My point is there is a generational myopia that is pervasive in journalism still. There is an unwillingness to acknowledge, fully, that it's over. Donezo. It's never coming back. You can call out NYT in an NYT column and you can call out Newhouse and you can point out how fucked AOL Patch is and yet you are just writing for all the readers and writers who are terrified that things are changing.

It's probably the same point you are making, but I find your approach annoyingly pithy.

It is simplistic to assume that it's all the political parties' fault. They can take advantage of these things only if the people let them. They are able to exploit deep seated feelings and insecurities because those exist.

I agree the money isn't flowing in yet, but I have no doubt it will. That's where my last line about demographics comes into play. It's hilarious/depressing that a generation with the demand for more information than ever before, and the technology to make it happen, is written off.

"That group doesn't read news." Sure they do. Just on Twitter or Facebook, or in texts.

Also, I wonder if a tv station will ever attempt to contract these sites directly as bureaus. Pay them as a reporter, but let them work for themselves as well. Just demand copyright save a non-transferable license to the reporter. That would give more money, and thus more resources, to a reporter.

@srean, I support your post as a balanced view.

What the author has written cannot be the median view, given its paints India as full of hucksters, crooks and people struggling by the roadside with unwashed shit on their clothes. Though the author tries to give opposite instances, he has put most of his effort and emotion into painting a bad picture. If this is the median, whats the bad side :-)?

The original article is not factual (no one is allowed on the tarmac in any airport, its a security risk, and India has known terrorism long before it became a word in the U.S), but my sympathies are with the emotion behind the article. Visiting India can be genuinely overwhelming and the cognitive dissonance can drive someone crazy without some level of apathy towards people still living penniless on the street.

My suggestion to the author, try to see if there is someway he can help, either with his skills or money. And no, "thinking up ways I can help", is not the same. Charity is alive and well in India and though life is too hectic here to help in kind (by volunteering etc), most people help with money, facilities and simple deeds like giving business to people who want to make a living e.g. there are mega malls and big stores in most metros, but many people I know make it a point to give business to the street-side hawkers, small businesses and vendors on a daily basis so that their work is supported.

Now that you have had the time to vent, lets get stuck into actually doing something.

Thousands face Internet loss as FBI shuts off servers
The keys are generally just passive RFID chips so it's more like an authorized_keys file.

The problem here isn't that there's no physical key, those are usually laughably easy to circumvent. I think the real trick here is the physical attack they used to break into the vehicle and gain access to the OBD port without setting the alarm off.

There's a number of cheap and obvious tricks BMW could have used to make the RFID portion of this attack a lot harder. Including, making the OBD port more difficult to actually get at without actually sitting in the car and not letting the new key start the car for some reasonably long period of time.
> " But ultimately, happiness is a decision we make every day—or not."

This strikes me as a position that can only be taken by the already-fortunate. If you don't me saying so, it reads like "let them eat cake". It's easy for us bourgeois, upper-middle, people with relatively few worries to talk down to the poor "but can't you just choose to be happy and not sweat the little stuff?!" "take some time off and meditate on your happiness!"

But when you don't know where your next rent check is coming from, how you will put food on the table next week for your loved ones, and you are one flat tire away from missing work, getting fired, and complete ruin... happiness really isn't a decision you make every day.

There is a bar at which the basic needs of life are no longer constant worries, and a person can actually take the time to reflect and breathe. Most of this country is below that bar.

"For instance, who here gets their technology or sports news from a national or local newspaper? Who looks to newspapers for the latest stock market performance, restaurant reviews, or movie showtimes?"

Guess that question was rhetorical, but I'm going to answer it anyway:

I do! (well, maybe not movie showtimes)

There are many reasons I prefer an old-school newspaper for some things:

- I already spend every waking hour looking at screens,
paper is a nice break. Paper has some nice qualities too.

- Easier to read on a crowded subway than a pad [1],
no need to charge them, lighter, I throw it away when
I'm finished with it so I don't have to carry it around
all day

- I hate most online newspapers: 80% adds, shitty design,
seems to emphasise short stories to drive page views.

- Sometimes it's important that the news a "fresh",
and of course on-line wins there. But more often, the
stuff I read does not suffer much from being a few
hours old [2].

1 - I suspect.. they might be bigger but they are also soft and "bendable", and they don't break when that guy with the huge backpack turns and smashes it into you.

2 - Here in Scandinavia online news became popular early, and the newspapers have had more time to adapt to the threat/opportunity. I suspect this affects what they put in the paper editions.

(edit: formatting)
This should be used with scrypt or bcrypt set to the highest difficulty your application can support.

The point is to increase difficulty of targeting an individual user, and increase difficulty of stealing the data in the first place. This is separate and distinct protection from what scrypt/bcrypt gives you.

[Edit] In a typical GPU accelerated brute force attack, the target hash and salt are both known as fixed 20 or 32-byte values, and you iterate through candidate passwords until you find a match.

In the proposed technique, the target hash is NOT known! Instead, what you do know is a salt and a list of a few billion hashes, ONE of which can be obtained by combining the salt with some unknown password. This is a very different equation, and I believe, much harder to solve, since your target value can't just be kept in a register or L1 cache for comparison purposes.
For me the biggest issue has been learning how to deploy apps onto my Linode server. I have no problems creating local apps, still haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong with deployment to production.
Let's clear something up here. We will never know the truth.

Evidence was burned, paperwork destroyed, the 'responsible' people were trialled in private and executed, propaganda was all over the place, facts are omitted for political gain and people needed to save face. The official story needed to be promoted.

The people who deny the holocaust do not deny, but question whether or not the official story is 100% accurate or not.

However to have any political force disallow questioning the official story is not an acceptable situation. It undermines free speech and it purveys an unacceptable duality of reality and fiction.

Wars are always recorded in the eyes of the victors and are closed from future investigation (a bad situation).

I thought she was really cute, too.
Meh, I don't know if I agree at all.

I'm in the ballpark of the given number, and yes, I'm relatively happy with how much I make and what I can do with it, but I'm not going to stop trying to make more.

I want to make things, and money is a sign that the things I'm making are valuable to people. Money is a signal that tells me I'm on the right path.

Additionally, I'd love to take a few years off and spend more time with my family. Being tethered to a job, regardless of how much it pays, will not allow me to do that. Making a shitload of cash will.

Money may not buy happiness, but I find happiness much more attainable when I'm not living paycheck to paycheck and/or not knowing how I'm going to pay for dinner.

> If the problems with that "crap" were insurmountable we wouldn't have the huge variety of websites like we do today

We have them, because many people today don't know how to program in programming languages tailored for desktop development.

The interest in something like node.js is a proof of it.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that for me it wasn't that there was "something I wanted to do and I used a programming language", but rather that I wanted to use a programming language so I found something to do. For me it was about the (self-guided) achievements and challenges: I wasn't "hacking a way to a solution," and would often return to the same problem and solve it again and again, never "falling back to really hacky solutions to get things done." It's a bit fuzzy (things do get done either way), but I think there is a distinction in approach.
With proper operating system integration.
That makes sense, but I can see the argument that not all features need to be open to consumers.
There is some rational justification explained in detail in the link I posted: creating artificial property is one way of confronting the underprovisioning of public goods. It's imperfect, but so are all the other ways, and so is simply letting them be underprovisioned.

Calling people barbaric for disagreeing with you is not really ok in this community.
Two problems: perfomance and premature abstraction.

Using function pointers instead of direct calls one drastically reduces the ability of the compiler to optimise function calls. Second, in most architectures calling a function through a function pointer will incur in a noticeable overhead when compared to a simple function call.

But the other problem is premature abstraction. The code is this example is tangled because the "server" has only one "client". In case there were at least one more client to be supported at runtime, it would surely be turned into something similar to what has been suggested. But removing the coupling before you know the similarities and dissimilarities between "clients" can only bring problems.

Obviously all this applies only to internal calls, not stable APIs.
Deregulation is a recipe for disaster. Using the scientific method, reason, and intelligence in government is the only way good governments have ever happened. You sound like one of those people who wants to abolish all government, meaning that corporations become the new government and we have feudalism. Bad idea.

Systems are never perfect but intelligent systems are still better than having NO system. Which is what extreme rightwingers and anarchists such as yourself are actually advocating. Deregulation caused the crisis and many people saw it coming. Bankers didn't lose money, it was the public who lost money. Bankers made record bonuses before and after the crisis and the top guys all had record golden parachutes. You're a clueless tea partier.
