"Officer, I didn't know that when I pulled the pin out of that grenade that it would explode, I thought it was a joke".

More like, "Officer, I didn't know that the stuffed toy I bought for my 12 year old child was in fact a grenade, and that picking up the toy would result in it exploding".

There are two issues here. The first is that the app is rated 12+, and shouldn't be showing adult content. The second is that it's showing adult content unprompted- the most recent posts certainly don't have the warning attached, so people are getting porn sent to them without asking for it.

Dershowitz on using science to prove reasonable doubt
I'm just not really a fan of mixing OO or imperative and FP code in the same code unit, with the exception of a few things like LINQ which might be called FP. For anything with a lot of mutation or tight loops, I'd rather stick with C#, and save myself the hassle of explaining the code to other devs later on. The idea of one language for everything is nice, but C# has carved out a place for itself, and maybe F# should try to focus on those areas where it can differentiate itself by effecting shorter, more self-describing code.
I think it's more about showing people how this stuff works at a digestible level.

I'm currently reworking something in Angular (I was only part way into the build). It took me a couple of days to get up and running but now I'm there it's paying itself off. The code is far more modular, easier to understand and I'm turning it out way faster.

Toy examples will always just be that, but they're needed in order to learn.
Nobody has the right to change the license of a work except the copyright holder.

If I have a project licensed under the X11 license, and I copy some BSD-licensed code into it, then that code is still the property of the original owner, and it needs to remain under the BSD license. If I simply copied it and stripped out the copyright notices, then I would be committing copyright infringement.

There has not been much about C11.
I think you underestimate people here. They've been hitting refresh and waiting for static images to load for a long time. Vinepeek makes allows you to just sit back and watch, and with the addition of tag searching, I'd imagine that sitting through this content isn't a chore at all considering the lengths people will go to find new material to begin with.
Which is exactly what the OP is talking about. There was a lot of buzz about C++11 before it was released, yet there was very little buzz about C11 (or at least, not something the OP noticed).

European Commission launches online service to promote semantic interoperability
Mind you, success (depending on how you define it) is not very likely, regardless of your background. 95% of the population in North America earn less than $80K per year. A decent income at the high end, but not what most people consider successful. Looking closer at the numbers, the top 1% is comprised of 27% without a degree and 24% with a non-graduate degree. That seems indicate to me that there is no real benefit to having a "plain old" degree with regards to success at all.

The remaining 49% have a post-graduate degree. This indicates that there may be some merit to pursuing post-graduate studies. However, we already know that most JD and MD graduates generally make 1% incomes due to market protections associated with that education, so it is not clear if any old post-graduate degree would also put you at the same level. Unfortunately, the data that I have access to does not break it down any further.

The numbers most certainly demonstrate a correlation with education and achievement in work, but the variability between people is so wide the numbers are basically meaningless with respect to any common interpretations. So far, I have not found any compelling argument for a college education in this context (there are a million other good reasons, of course), outside of areas where legal protections exist. If you dream is to be a doctor then a college education is a must, obviously, but it is not so clear cut for the common man.

It's so true. I've been a freelance iOS developer for a year now and half of my contracts have been fixing amateur looking code of large consulting firms. Is this endemic of iOS work or all software development? My theory is that consulting firms have trouble hiring senior engineers because working for a consulting firm isn't "sexy".

No info. But hopefully the first one will be based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and will be 64-bit (Cortex A57 and Cortex A53 class chips). It would be a mistake for them to start out with a 32 bit version, just to switch to the 64 but version months later or a year later.

This is totally incorrect. The majority of Mozilla's current funding comes from a deal with Google to make them the default search engine in Firefox. Google pays for this because search traffic is valuable.
FWIW - the evil debate we're having here has once again sort of derailed us all from the main thesis which is ... Google wins when people use the Internet more.

So while some laugh at the self driving car initiative and see it as indulgent I see a company who is trying to unlock countless hours of time each day that is currently 'non-usable' from an Internet perspective.

> The past two weeks we've seen a chorus of criticism from hackers regarding a justice system that they don't understand. Much of the criticism is accurate, and much of it wasn't even in the right ballpark.

Dead on. The DOJ might have, in a fit of paranoia, jumped to the "evil hacker" stereotype because it didn't understand Swartz's actions, but the "hacker community," in a similar fit of paranoia, jumped to the "big evil government suppressing any threats" stereotype.

I don't think the DOJ understand the "free culture" movement. At the same time, I don't think a lot of hackers understand the public's desire for order, boundaries, and security.

Use GA to solve the Facebook ROI mystery
That's the main reason why Firefox is still my main browser, I trust the Mozilla Foundation to do the right thing. Also, there is no nagging "connect to your account" every time I restart the browser or open a new tab or whatever, I hate this message, I want to browse the web not connect to another service. Moreover I find it is still the more convenient browser for customization and tweaking. For instance I only have to set network.http.sendRefererHeader to 0 to prevent sending http referrers. I use the Nightly version and it's pretty stable although I would prefer not having to restart FF after each update.
Stop Saying "Social Media" - The Industry
I agree with you. I want Ubuntu and Linux to succeed in having at least a significant part of the market, but I don't think it's possible, or not as fast as I would hope, if they keep prioritizing stuff for developers and stuff, when Linux is still considered confusing and hard to use by many "normal" people.

So they should really prioritize that part. Leave the developer/geeky stuff for later.
Presuming everything will follow a linear path is simple.
The article's title is misleading. I read the linked study (pdf and prweb summary of results) and found nothing to support that they are the "Most Trusted Internet Company"... In fact, Amazon, eBay, WebMD, and Microsoft are all above it on the list. All of those I'd consider to be "Internet companies". If you alter it, as Mozilla did in the paragraph below, to read "Internet & Social Media" then it's right according to the linked pdf, but that's hardly the same thing as the title.

I do trust Mozilla far more than the other companies that made this list, but I can't help but feel their title is intentionally misleading.

I do find it odd that Mozilla didn't end up higher of course. Out of the listed entities I don't think any of the others are non-profit (nor have something like the Mozilla Manifesto as a guiding principal), and if any are I doubt that they understand crypto anywhere near as well as Mozilla. I trust Mozilla because they not only have the desire to keep me safe, but also have the technical know-how.

I'll second Freshbooks. Awesome for invoicing, receiving invoices and now importing expenses from your cards & accounts. It pretty much handles everything you need for collections, receivables and taxes.

I'll second LinkedIn as well. Keeping a network of people you've worked with and paying for the business account allows you to find (your network * 3) of potential sources to introduce yourself to. Ihaven't tried the jobs feature - will do now that you've recommended it.

Recruiters work too. They are expensive to your bottom line but mitigate risk. They typically have 6 month waiting periods after you've finished a contract before you can work with the client directly - and I recommend you wait patiently then let the client know you are now independent.

I'll finish with this: know who you are targeting. LinkedIn has an industry and location search - your acquisition strategy should too.
There is plenty of hate here and on Reddit for Node. My experience was fairly painless. My unit tests ran incredibly fast... that was such a relief coming from JRuby/Ruby.

Or is it a crazy idea to do something social without jumping on the back of the other social mega services?
This is some gerrymandered surveying.

Yes, technically Mozilla comes in at #1 in the Internet & Social Media Category, but that category excludes higher-ranking companies such as Amazon (classified as eCommerce), ebay (eCommerce), WebMD (healthcare), Microsoft (technology and software), and Intuit (technology and software).

Let's be real, if the parent company of Mint.com beats you, then this isn't really much to brag about. I mean, I do love me some Mozilla, but come on now.

1. Drug Cartels of Mexico do not push a religious regime as I understand Taliban of Afghanistan do.

2. Overall, it just happens that scientific pursuit to be a more difficult task in Muslim world, isn't it? I'm not comparing here Islam with Christianity, I compare Islam with (almost) everything else.

3. You may have a point with Saudi Arabia, but let's take Iran (which is or should be politically more solid). They have a democratic (therefore questionable) president, but they also have an unquestionable "supreme leader" which is incidentally a religious authority. What does this say?

4. I agree with Eurocentric worldview. Our powers in state (in Eastern Europe), including media, is very oriented to western world and often ignores even our own views (not to mention something from elsewhere). This is nevertheless a consequence of what's happening "out there" and how it affects one's life. I guess that if say development is done heavily somewhere in east, it would demand more attention.

5. You are right, not everything is the same. Not even Christianity itself. Not to praise or something, but I never heard of prosecutions for scientific research in Orthodox Christianity.

It's not that I think this is the only flawed metric or that there are other methods that are quantifiably better. It's that we've spent ridiculous sums of time and money on this complicated new metric, despite some pretty clear arguments against it, and we still are very far away from actually proving that it is better than the status quo, even if that status quo obviously falls somewhat short of perfection.

It's like.. how much money and effort do you think is worthwhile to spend on something with such uncertain prospects? There are tons of great grant proposals to funding agencies which are rejected. Maybe we would be better off funding some of those. Opportunity costs exist, and it seems like undue sums of money are being wasted on this stuff.
"Go Big or Go Home" is all well and good when you're the only person.. but I think you're right. Once there are a few or dozens or hundreds of people involved, hopefully it changes the decision making process.
I think your post accurately describes the problem with education today. I, for one, hate paper with a passion. There is not one redeeming quality offered by it, from my perspective. Obviously you take the exact opposite stance, and, importantly, that doesn't make you wrong.

As you have illustrated here: Everyone is different, but our education system only serves a subset of the population who fit that particular mould. We don't need to destroy college, and in fact it is important to keep it alive, but we need to recognize that it is not the only game in town. The computer didn't eliminate paper, but it did give us choice. Choice, with recognition of achievement, is what education desperately needs.
Giving your anger a focal point can be productive, as it may inspire you to promote change.

Since IP lawsuits entered my field of awareness, starting with the Napster Trial, I've always wanted to set up a web site called "idancedonyourgrave.com" (or something with a similar sentiment). Morbid, but I want user-submitted pics of people actually dancing on the graves of people who have damaged our society through policy and abuse of the system.

My current candidates are: Lars Ulrich (Metallica, figurehead of the Napster lawsuit), Jack Valenti (former president of the MPAA -- hey, he's dead now, too!), Hillary Rosen (former president of the RIAA), and now I'll add Katherine Wolanyk (from the article, a co-founder of Soverain, patent troll).
