"Everyone sucks at negotiating, though men are slightly more likely to try" is supported by the study. See page 10. When salaries weren't explicitly listed as negotiable, only 10.6% of men and 8.2% of women even tried to negotiate. Even when they were explicitly negotiable, only about 22% of men and 23.9% of women tried.

This is definitely cultural, by the way. Where I grew up in India, everyone negotiates for everything, even very cheap trinkets.
I agree that the lacklustre search is a major issue. In addition to that, the information density is terrible in comparison to Google maps. Google maps uses colour, opacity, line thickness and other visual cues to distinguish roads. Road names are clear and legible, and a sensible algorithm is used to determine which to label when zooming out.

Apple's maps are a clear second best, giving the impression they skimped on usability testing.

Plus it doesn't run into trouble with Arrow's theorem, since it's not a "rank-order voting system," unlike plurality, instant runoff, and various others.

Range voting has the same advantage. In computer simulations measuring how well the election result matches voter preferences, either range or approval is as much an improvement over plurality as plurality is over picking someone at random (or, if you like, monarchy).

> Unless the author of a work is an employee or explicitly assigns copyright to someone else, the author retains the copyright.

Presumably you're talking from a US perspective. I've no idea about US law, but certainly here in the UK, while that's true in theory it's pretty flexible in practice.

E.g. there was a case* where Doc Martens commissioned a logo but didn't use a proper contract, and didn't get the designer to assign copyright to them. The designer then tried to sell the logo to a competitor. The courts had no trouble at all finding there was an implied term in the contract transferring the copyright to Doc Martens. Such a term was necessary to give the usual business efficacy to a contract for logo design. I.e. if you'd asked the parties at the time of contracting whether the designer would retain the copyright and so the right to sell it to a competitor, both of them would have said 'of course not'.

And he spends an hour or so every day eating stuff with those. Every single day (presumably). If you divide the $500 those flatwares have cost him over that time period (a few thousand days, an hour each day), it turns out it's cost him about 10 cents per hour. And yet, he (again, presumably) has been enjoying it immensely. If you can be happier by spending 10 cents (per hour), why not?

I'm not a fan of expensive clothes, but buying an expensive utility that you use everyday (chair, mouse, keyboard, shoe, fork) makes a lot of sense to me.
I didn't consider that he may not see a role for himself at the beginning (or even at all). He has already spoken to a couple potential customers to varying degrees of interest, ranging from "show me a working version" to "take my money now."

Either he noticed effects of running the exploit (lic.log file?) or just downloaded the zip to read the code (I do this when some project's VCS doesn't have 'browse source' component or it's web component has no decent syntax highlighting), noticed base64 encoded chunks and got curious. I'd get curious for sure.

All this is really simple and not the real question, which instead is: where were checksums and why not in a safe place?
What you linked to would be referred to as "formal flatware". It's a totally different market than regular flatware. You're buying it because it has some intricate design or is made from some sort of expensive material. The pricing of it is not based on functionality.

This happens in the lower end, too, but there are lots of reasonable options that are cheaper than the stuff from "The Best" article, probably hold up the same, and the marginal loss in functionality is less than the marginal change in price.

>disabling eval doesn't buy you much: If you really want to execute code, write it to a file and then require that file.

Eval is used by most attackers to avoid detection. A one liner add to the end of a legitimate random php file along with extra padding to push it off the screen will make most users to miss it.

Creating directories and files not only requires appropriate permissions but is also more susceptible to be noticed by a user browsing through them.
I was going to mention safety certification[1], but if you're saying we should disregard those, then I'm not sure what you're looking for. QNX was built with real-time and safety-critical constraints in mind. Linux was not. I'm not saying QNX is generally better than linux... just that if I want to browse the web at home I'd use Linux, and if I want a kernel to control the car I drive I'd choose QNX.

I think cutlery is probably the worst possible example to illustrate the argument. The cheapest cutlery you can buy is still works 90% as well as the best, and they last approximately forever. I've never in my life been eating something and noticed the quality of the cutlery.

I think a better example would be dress shoes. The cheap versions are uncomfortable and wear out all the time, where as a good pair of leather shoes should last so much longer they probably end up being cheaper in the long run.

Ultimately it was Tim Cook's decision whether to ship it now or wait another year, just like it would've been Steve Jobs the last one to decide whether a new product is ready for prime-time or not.

If Tim Cook thought the Maps isn't ready, and he really wanted to ship it this year, then he could've decided not to do it anyway, but in the same time fire the people responsible for not delivering it on time. At least that would've saved them the public embarrassment.

I think you're just hitting on a case where cheaper stuff is substantially less useful than more expensive stuff. One of the issues with "The Best" was how poor of an example flatware is at doing that.

Also, cost and utility are a sliding scale. There isn't "the best" and "the worst" and nothing in between. In fact, it's usually the stuff in the middle that makes the best trade offs between cost and functionality.

I'm a huge vi(m) fan, but still use Emacs-style readline. When editing code in vim, I tend to make several edits each time I'm in edit mode. When at the terminal, all I'll need is "go to front" or "search backwards". And which is easier: Esc+Shift-6+i or C-a? Esc+Shift-/ or C-r? I'm in no way an Emacs ninja, but it's not too hard to memorize the ten or so most common commands. Added bonus: they work in OS X and Qt textfields. Other added bonus: they work out of the box in terminals you haven't configured yourself.

A welcome feature, but we can't ignore the paradigm shift's tiny repercussion: once the sender deletes the file, the receiver will no longer be able to access it (assuming they've lost, deleted, or not yet downloaded their own copy). Lately I've used shared Dropbox folder links for larger attachments, but the same problem seems to persist with any hosted solution. A solution that pleases both the sender having control over their files and the receiver having long-term access is tough to imagine.

Interesting point.

As with your previous comment on functional languages, I'd argue declarative query languages are more about a difference in thought process. Query languages definitely have a major shift in syntax, but I think the more significant shift is in the theory.

One thing absent from my article is addressing the major categorical differences of programming language types. Perhaps I will post an update to address the topic of imperative vs. functional vs. declarative.

With security I'm interested in the situation right now, not what the plan is to do eventually. If I were to get ripped off, it's no consolation knowing that someone was planning to fix the bug later when they got around to it.

The attack described is a serious one. If someone compromises (or colludes with) the server, they could “buy” 100 BTC worth of stuff from you without really paying. You send the stuff, and you're 100 BTC poorer. In the end it's as if you'd been robbed. Same result.

With an online hosting service, like Coinbase, I think it's rather obvious you're trusting them, just as you would trust PayPal or a bank. You can make an informed decision whether you trust them (and their security) based on reputation.

The Electrum website, in contrast, hides the fact that I'm trusting a third party and makes no mention of who that third party is or why they deserve my trust. IMHO, they should disclose exactly what's going on very prominently. But they don't. As a person new to Bitcoin, based on what I know so far, I would sooner go with Coinbase than Electrum.

The dichotomy between Moxie and Dustin's posts illustrates an interesting split in the 'hacker' world.

Wheras Hacker and Startup seemed to represent the use of unconventional tools to achieve a unexpected results (often) in unpleasant or tedious circumstances, those connotations have become mixed with the sense glamor usually reserved for celebrities.

Now, the ostensibly boring (or at least detail-ridden, interesting only to those directly involved) practice of starting a business has taken a sort of crazy sheen, with list stories [1] written by starry eyed marketers praising the romance of the fast paced, powerful, and interesting startup industry shaping the public's view.

And Hackers, once conceptualized as loners fiddling with inscrutable technicalities, are now expected to attain material success and internet celebrity. After all, if you're a real hacker you should be pulling in at least $150k. (Though you'll have to spend some of that on a load balancer to handle your blog traffic.)

Dustin and Moxie seem to represent the two sides of this spectrum. Dustin, maybe hot off the aquihire of a desirable web property, looking for how to best direct his affluence. Moxie, pondering the important parts of the system he operates in, chooses to forgo what he considers symbolic representations of success with undeserved merit. It's as easy to imagine the dreadlocked Marlinspike talking to stallman (who is eating from his foot) as it is to imagine Curtis speaking to a crowd of socialites in a bell-aire hotel lobby.

At least for me.

I've had someone in a YC funded company flat-out tell me that it was going to be a problem for me. (43, and no, he wasn't in the process of hiring me.)
I'm 37, and honestly this has started to scare me over the past couple years.
That is a good one, does anyone have recent stats for them?
Two points:

1. There's a big difference between job-searching at 40 and job-searching at 60. At 60, you're potentially 5 years away from retirement, so it's not surprising that companies are hesitant to hire.

2. Depending on the specific startup, younger people really may be more effective, at least in certain areas. For example, something like Facebook (during its early days), which targeted college students. A twenty-something will have much more insight into the mind of a college student than a 60-something. This obviously doesn't apply to areas of the company that don't relate directly to the end users.

Edit: I don't agree with the logic of companies, I was just playing devil's advocate.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure how much better Apple could have made Maps before launching it. The thing that gets me is that I can only view driving directions fully zoomed out or fully in (rather than being able to zoom in and out). However, in terms of map accuracy, their data is coming from TomTom/Tele Atlas. Google's data is better. Not only that, but Google has been working hard on local search. Apple simply doesn't have that data. I've really yet to hear how Apple could have launched a better product. Google has been getting data for many years now and when Google Maps launched, it didn't have nearly as complete data. As users used it, data improved. Apple has less chance for improvement because Apple doesn't do local search and non-phone maps in the way that Google does.

It's why I think Apple should make a web interface to provide an easy way for people to add businesses and make corrections via their browser.

I mean, I vaguely remember when Google Maps switched from Navteq to Tele Atlas for a while and users disliked the Tele Atlas data. However, if you don't own your own mapping data, you need to buy it from someone selling. Given Nokia's ownership of Navteq, it seems unlikely that Apple would have gotten that data.

Other than improving the data over time, what else was egregiously wrong? On the data side, I think it takes time with the app being used by the public to correct that. If they were to make the hard decision not to ship Apple Maps, would the data be in pretty much the same situation a year later?

Generally a decent programmer will hit the limits of the 'easy' framework just slow enough to have wasted a ton of time. Then you have to drop into native code to fix the bugs that are not the priority of that specific framework.

Appcelerator has gained so much traction because they have a ton of developers concentrated on bugfixes and full native API support.

But, to get children started on programming is always a great idea, and as all of us young devs grow we will want to share the dev experience with our kids. If they can make that possible I think they'll have a home run on their hands.

I'm surprised you found that rebuttal strong, I found it exceedingly weak. She complains that the original author used a few of her own unreviewed studies, fair criticism, but doesn't present any evidence that it was wrong. She complains that the original author painted the research as one-sided that men negotiate better, then reviews the research and show that it is in fact pretty one-sided. Then, having done nothing to really dispute the accuracy of the research evidence being presented, she goes into an unsubstantiated rant about privilege and minorities, which is largely unrelated to the book. It's true maybe the original book failed to address some of these issues, but it doesn't make the book wrong as much as incomplete. As she completely fails to hide her overarching political bias going into the rebuttal, her rebuttal made no striking critique on the book's research nor presents much conflicting research, and half the rebuttal was spent rehashing third wave feminism talking points rather than making scientific arguments, only to summarize by saying that book was shoddy science and sexist, I would not consider this a strong rebuttal at all.

Not necessarily. PTSD is a lot more complex than simple depression.

Doctors will try and fix the depression, but then something else will "arrive" and wreck havoc. Whether that's anxiety, flashbacks or something else that's not "always there" when you're simply "just" depressed.

It's nearly impossible to treat PTSD as a whole with conventional medicine.
