> the best way to fix the problem is to vote the politicians out of office.

In a bi-party world, your odds of getting anyone out of office and preventing them from coming back later are, unfortunately, pretty damn low.
You forgot to mention the well-paid contingent of pro-AGW scientists and bureaucrats whose ability to earn a living largely depends on it being a real and serious issue. There is a natural tendency towards confirmation bias on both sides.
There's a difference between phone numbers and the Facebook directory. One is a user-owned identity which can migrate between carriers, the other a walled garden. With a phone number, I have an identity which can be linked to many services including Facebook. With a Facebook login, I am beholden to Facebook as my directory.

I'm not saying that this is relevant, because for the majority of users it isn't. I'm saying this for the hackers who just watched Facebook deny Voxer. If Facebook can capriciously decide who I can and can't talk to, that's not really what I would call an identity. What Facebook gives you is a slice of an identity, the slice it thinks you ought to have.

For many that is enough; for others it is an insult.
I assume the neologism was intentional?

Not to be too hard on the developer, but judging by these figures, they are under-charging. Clients that are attracted to the lower end of the budget range tend to be more problematic in various ways, as many a web designer can attest.
Much worse: LINQ to SQL.

Long story short: Microsoft realized that Entity Framework was taking longer than expected. But they really wanted an ORM to ship with LINQ. So they took a smaller mini-ORM project that was really written for testing LINQ and was never intended for production, hastily dressed it up, and pushed it onto the market as a stopgap. Entity Framework was still happening, mind you - Microsoft never actually planned to support LINQ to SQL long-term.

But they never really mentioned that was their plan. So a great many developers had already written data access layers based on it by the time Microsoft announced they were going to stop supporting it approximately 11 months after it was initially released.

While I have barely used the SAP system where I work, I could intuitively sense its value. Only half joking, I have claimed that If i could get a half dozen good co-ops, we could build a far better system with LAMP in about 6 months.
( I know that LAMP is dated, but other than what I have read here, I know little about the more modern frameworks)

It looks like this also happened to people alot when the jailbreak for iOS 5 first appeared, so I am pretty sure cydia is just getting flooded with traffic from hoards of newly jailbroken users.
The trend over the last 100 years has been that as we increase our productivity we increase our wants. More stuff, more work. Bigger houses, more food, more cars, more stuff.

I imagine this will start to flatline, and increasing demand isn't going to be sustainable enough to fully employ even half the workforce. I could be wrong.

It's perverse to blame the public for bad financial models created by ratings agencies whose sole professional responsibility is to accurately model risk. "But the public caused an asset bubble we didn't anticipate" sounds like the Wall Street Banker version of "my dog ate my homework."

The intercept service you're talking about is CALEA if I'm not mistaken, and it's not yet clear that CALEA applies to IP communications.

VoIP is covered by CALEA, but it isn't yet clear if Video is covered. There's a bit of a raging debate about this in Telco circles. There are basically two arguments:

1) Companies that do not operate exchanges are not liable for CALEA compliance

2) CALEA compliance is not clear.

For the first argument, many folks interpret the law as only covering companies that have equipment inside of phone exchanges (CLECs and ILECs). There is a 3rd class of operator that is only IP with no equipment in the exchange. It is not yet clear if this 3rd class has CALEA as a requirement (Goolge is all IP).

On the second point, there's no clear documentation about acceptable formats for release. Can I send raw log files? Does it have to be a csv? None of this is clearly defined anywhere.

In short, it's a lot more tangled when it comes to video. I'm not certain the Feds could've gotten access to Skype monitoring without $MSFT buying Skype.

Hmm, I first thought that it was the work of a brilliant marketer at Oreo; but this is even better. They had prepared for it and reaped the rewards.
Why is creating shortcuts to apps a bad design? You can list all of the apps in any screen you want. Or you can choose not to. With iOS? They are all there, even things you don't use constantly. The UI is basically an app selector.

I don't think the app icons are designed badly..

Google Earth, Google Maps, and Navigation are all different apps. Would combining them into one be better UX? Why? Gmail and Email are different apps. The Google app is Google Now. I don't understand your issue here. Btw, the Messenger app you're referring to is probably Facebook Messenger...

The reason Google can't use App Store is because Apple patented App Store. Look it up - they sued Amazon for using the term.

The Downloads app stores your downloads.

I agree with GMail giving poor indication of syncing.

I just searched Yelp and it was the first result.

I think at this point there's a fairly well-accepted connection between autism spectrum disorders and the software development community. (If you really need citations for this, I'll provide some.) One of the common side-effects of autism spectrum disorders is an impairment in interpreting other people's facial expressions, body language, and vocal tones.

When I mentioned the romcom stuff, it wasn't because I was arguing that it was a how-to or that nerds couldn't distinguish fiction from reality. It was only there to illustrate that the line between "creepy" behavior and behavior that in the ideal sense might be considered "sweet" is really blurry, and that it's dependent largely on receptivity of the people involved, and that as a trend, people in software development have a more difficult time correctly interpreting these situations.

I could go a lot more in-depth on this. I think there's a lot of very interesting cultural stuff happening in the U.S. (and to a larger extent, Japan) in male-female relations, I think there's a lot of uncertainty now about what constitutes "attractive" behavior and what doesn't, and I think that the ability to correctly interpret body language and other subtle cues is the only substantial edge anyone has over other people in this environment.

However, none of that should be read as a defense of behavior like posting fake nudge images of someone or outright harassment or any of the other things that women have recently been rightly complaining about. I was only wondering aloud earlier whether the combination of the ratio of men to women in software, combined with social impairment by a significant number of people in the industry, might be contributing to the problem.

I'm not really sure what else to say to defend my earlier comment; I honestly wasn't expecting it to be controversial. At this point though, if you'd like to continue to disagree, and you expect me to respond, I'd like for you to at least argue against what I actually write (e.g., I did not say, "nerds are incapable of 'reading' the difference between fantasy and reality"), and I'd love it if you bundled some kind of insight or evidence with your argument.
Do any lisps have a s-expression as their head, e.g. ((f 2) 3 4)? If not, why?
There is also a bit of echo chamber, the high numbers are for "Most Published" authors - and, in theory, it's a lot easier to publish something supporting Global Warming right now.

There's nothing unethical or insulting about preemptive loss prevention unless you go out of your way to read that into it. When I lock my front door, that doesn't mean I'm implying that my mailman is a thief. There's no benefit in over-dramatizing the situation.

If you demand ownership of any data that comes over your connection, all you're doing is fostering an environment where we can't have nice things like Netflix and Hulu offering on-demand streaming of their immense libraries of content for a few dollars a month (much less spending 9 figures on creating original content). If you agree to the terms of service that Netflix provides their video under, the content you stream from them absolutely and undeniably is not something that you own -- no more than you own the rights to re-broadcast premium content that you receive via subscription cable or satellite and no more than you own the copyright to the content of a website just because you download it into your browser.

You mention degraded usability, which I've never experienced when using Netflix. If anything, Silverlight's "smooth streaming" is (by far) the best HD-over-the-wire experience I've seen still to this day. However, I've read that Linux users have a relatively awful time with Silverlight and Netflix. The latter are a perfect example of those who would benefit from accepting the real-world reality that DRM is necessary for premium content to be distributed online, and thus we ought to go ahead and make that a first class experience in raw HTML. Everyone would benefit from codifying that as a standard.
I'm quite pessimistic about the infrastructure, considering the speed of acceptance of IPv6.

I think you have misunderstood. I am not accusing it of not being literature. I'm just saying it is low quality literature.
I suspect that a deeper issue here is that Microsoft developers believe that Microsoft is as permanent as things get in software, and by extension that everything Microsoft releases will last forever.

Realistically, most EOL'd Microsoft development platforms had been in their period of being officially supported for no less time than it takes an open source platform to go from being the hot new thing to something that's barely worth mentioning on your resume anymore. And Microsoft still offers a lot of continuity - XNA and Silverlight may be dead and WPF might be on the way out. But those C# skills you learn on the old platforms are still usable all over the place, including in Unity (for game developers) and with Xamarin (for mobile). And those XAML skills will still hopefully be useful with WinRT. By contrast, it'll probably be a much bigger deal to switch platforms when Ruby finally becomes passe. For one, it'll take learning a whole new programming language.

Before I get jumped on, I should hasten to say that my intent isn't to criticize any open source for anything. It's to criticize the Microsoft community for developing an attitude of complacency and perhaps even entitlement.
For something published in 1990 it holds up remarkably well. It is however almost entirely conventional wisdom at this point. Which does raise the question of weather the points made became conventional wisdom because of this papers publication.
A better analogy would be wrapping plastic tape with "no trespassing" written on it around your front door, or greasing your door handle.

It's the opposite of being fool-proof: having near zero utility while degrading the experience for everyone.
You're going to have a hard time making it through Hemingway if you have to reach for a dictionary every time you come across a word like "middleweight" or "khaki", even if your dictionary is online and answers your query in less than a second. You need to memorize the meanings of a vocabulary of words in order to read fluently or write well. That's not "old-fashioned thinking". It's just common sense. And it's just as true of shell scripts as it is of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, poetry, or math.
Because we're not tied to one location or school and we represent millennials, not just college students. The point is that there wasn't a national publication dedicated to publishing the best writing from 18-29 year olds before. Now there is.
Hmm, at the default zoom level when the page loads the flyouts from either side partially cover the page. What I was looking for was a zoom option in the View menu that zoomed the page to fit exactly between the two flyouts when they're open.

BTW I'm incredibly impressed, been looking for something that my girlfriend could use as she's just moving into web design. Muse was pretty disapointing(to say the least). I can see this being a much practical solution. Having seen how good it is I can see myself using it as my go to tool for at least prototype designs.
I assume you are largely referring to the paragraph that begins with:

By beginning with the forces affecting the business, and driving through to solutions and the capabilities needed to enable those solutions, the Capability Case is exactly the means to understand how to leverage technology to achieve a strategic / competitive advantage

If so, it is a fair statement that that paragraph is laden with "business speak". Perhaps overly so, to the point that it obscures what I was trying to get across. But the real point is embedded in this:

If you are a technologist who speaks "Relational database" and "NoSQL graph database" and "CORBA" and "RMI" and "distributed / replicated cache" but does not know anything about "Porter's Five Forces" or "SWOT analysis" or the meaning of "Value Chain" or "Balanced Scorecard", you will not be properly equipped to serve in that "gap bridging" role. Likewise, if you are a business executive who believes "I don't need to know anything about technology, I'll leave that to the geeks in IT" and you don't know the difference between a database and a web browser, your days are numbered

What I'm trying to say is, it's not going to be sufficient, in the future, to accept being a technologist who is "bothered by business buzz words" or a "business person who doesn't want to hear any geek crap". Businesses are going to require people who can speak at least some of BOTH languages.

Now, what I probably failed to do in that article, was to properly justify WHY Capability Cases are so useful. I probably should have added more detail about what they are, and added some examples. Perhaps I'll revisit this topic in a subsequent post and try to make the point a little more clearly.

At any rate, thanks for the feedback, it is much appreciated.

I have many years of experience in Lisp, and what I'm telling you is the longstanding consensus among Lisp experts. You should listen to us. Ruby is not so different from Lisp that the lesson is inapplicable.

I'm not really paying much attention to this thread, but I kind of skimmed over your comment when you started with the foul language as well. At the very least, it doesn't win you any points, and at worst, people ignore what you write.

Yes, this is really a great example of how most things that we attribute to brilliance are due more to preparation and foresight.
Where do you think those easements come from? At some point, the municipality agreed to invoke it's eminent domain authority to let some utility lay cables, pipes, sewer lines, etc. That gave that utility a monopoly on service. In return for these monopolies, utilities extracted concessions like requiring the utilities to service everyone.

> Why is creating shortcuts to apps a bad design?

Why should I have to create shortcuts?

> With iOS? They are all there, even things you don't use constantly

What does this even mean? You put the apps you use the most on the first page, and the apps you use the least on the last page. There are no restrictions as to how many apps you can have or must have on each page, other than the size of the grid. If you want, you can have exactly one app on page 1 and all remaining apps on page 2. You can group apps like how the "Google" app on Android 4.2.1 works if you want to touch instead of swipe.
If you have funds available save up and try to settle with them when they contact you. You might be able to pay 1/3 or 1/2 of what you owe. I would offer 1/3 and have 1/2 saved up. Keep in mind that you'll most likely have to pay income taxes on the portion you don't pay back. They would also file a claim against you in small claims court trying to get a judgement against you for the amount you owe. So when you do get served contact them and try to work out a settlement or payment arrangement. And make sure to attend any court dates. I don't expect they are worried about your estimated income at the time the cards were issued.
> How's that stateless, then?

The protocol is stateless, not necessarily the application and/or session. The state is serialized to/from the client as needed.

> If it's really stateless, that replay can't _do_ anything.

A stateless pipeline may front a stateful backend. An application commit point may be reached which should invalidate all possible previously valid requests. It's definitely a necessity.
Actually, I think he's referring to the Google+ Messenger. It is a bit confusing that the default apps include Messaging, Messenger, and Talk. I don't know how I would explain that to my grandmother.
Considering they were running a TV commercial (involving a comic fight in a library over the 'best' part of an Oreo cookie) in a time slot that sells for >$1m, having a social media team standing by to monitor and possibly curate reaction to the advert just seems like common sense. If you manage a major brand and you don't have someone whose primary job is to keep an eye on how that brand is discussed on the internet, then you're not looking after the interests of your employers.
The worst case is when developers owe license fees for components within apps. Pirates can literally make you pay out $0.xx per pirate... Which kills profits fast.
Sigh. No, but if someone were to criticize a particular group of software developers for writing some armed drone C&C software that had a completely disproportionate effect on its target, and you rushed to defend the software developers using a really thin argument, then I don't think there's anything wrong with pointing out that your association with software developers might be making you less than impartial.

Then of course you could counter-argue that the person doing the criticizing was related to some of the people that were killed, and therefore they might not be impartial either, even though I never said (nor would have suggested) otherwise, and even though that does nothing to make you look less prejudiced.

And then the whole stupid thing could continue to spiral out of control until someone else suddenly showed up late to the argument and brought with them some absurd analogy that requires some serious stretching to be at all applicable to the discussion at hand...
