If you believe this, do you also believe in minimising government enforcement of private property rights?

I think government should enforce all private property rights, although perhaps at an indirect level (e.g. you still have to lock your door, but the government ultimately will punish people who break in).

However, the question of what is a property right and what is not is germane.

argues for removing protections of exclusive access and use of land in particular

If two people can do something simultaneouly without one initiating force against the other, then property rights don't apply. Sometimes it falls to the legal system (e.g. convention) to stipulate the precise boundaries.

For example, if a utility company wants to run power lines below my land, then unless that prevents me from doing something underground that I'm already doing, I think they have the right to do so, as long as the lines can be installed without causing me significant inconvenience (and with proper forewarning).

So, basically, you establish property rights by actually using the property in a certain fashion.

have substantial exceptions to private property rights for the purpose of increasing liberty for society as a whole

I think that's a false example. Society is just composed of individual people. If you take away one person's rights, it may increase somebody else's access to something (e.g., say, birth control), but it does not increase _liberty_.

(e.g. granting access to natural resources to society as a whole)

I don't really see how natural resources _wouldn't_ be available to society as a whole.

PouchDB is on the verge of production ready, building projects with it now is definitely recommended. TouchDB-iOS has shipping apps in the App Store.

Why the quick dismissal? I find s-expressions much easier to work with than JSON.

I think branding an idea as '2.0' was your first mistake. Pretty much meeteor was ambitious to innovate a new feature to social networking, but since that ideology is more in my opinion a 'soft' science, I think funding would have been difficult to make it sustainable.
It really depends on who your intended user is. If the slides are intended to form a presentation (quite likely), then the user is often the person making the slides in the first place. In such cases they're not a usability disaster at all. Rather, they're really helpful (being able to switch between different sections, or miss sections that your audience already knows about easily is really useful).

On the other hand, if the slides are intended for reading, then yes, they may be a usability disaster. But then, slides aren't going to be the best format for reading anyway.

Either those companies are with a bigger/popular hosting company (IIRC The Planet was located in Houston and I guess their datacenter wasn't closed down after their acquisition) or it's a link bait.

I always wonder, how can you U.S. guys tolerate this stupid carrier lock-in with year-long contracts? When in other parts of the world they are planning or already have laws obliging carriers to provide call forwarding to your new number after you switch away.

This is not anything new and has been known for ages.

Assuming one follows the "defense-in-depth" approach, however, this is easily mitigated and becomes a non-issue.

FWIW, I could give you the username and password that my instances of WordPress use to connect to MySQL and you wouldn't be able to do anything with them.
I haven't Jailbroke my iPhone for a few years. I did out of curiosity, but updating OS was just too much pain.

Been thinking what are the real benefits of doing that? Why? Is it customizing UI, adding more effects? Or is it just downloading apps outside app store? I think it brought value when we didn't have notification center etc, but still people doing it?

Are you talking about Tim Pope, whose work includes vim-foreplay, vim-scriptease, vim-eunuch, vim-speeddating, and hookup?
There is a LOT of blatant sexism in the tech sector. The more specialized you get, the worse things get. It's a pretty well documented problem (e.g. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2012/08/sexual_harassm... for a collection of security related anecdotes). This kind of culture turns away lots of tremendously talented people, and those who choose to endure a culture which seems to be slanted against them generally either end up targets or else silent lurkers.

It's absolutely accurate to call the general reaction 'denial.' People who complain who are on the receiving end of the harassment are 'overly sensitive' and those who aren't who speak up against the status quo are 'apologists' and 'white knights.' It's difficult to address a mindset which a majority of a community is complicit in at best, or active defenders of at worst.

It at least definitely leads to polling. Everyone and their capuchin being able to just throw in theirs as a legit answer. When there is no chance for a canonical answer at all, that's a bad question.
I completely agree to this method. Break their site with your js.
Don't forget that according to the (non existant) spec there's a finite number of btc. So even if it was profitable (which i doubt), it's guaranteed to stop being viable when every block has been mined.
I don't deny that climate is changing. But if we're going to pick favorites from nature's children, I think it is in our own best interest to pick mankind.

I am not "truly" amazed that people can mentally delete the human population in whole or in part and claim to know what the Earth's climate should be like without mankind (or at least the "unnaturally" large number of them) as if the totality of human existence were an input to a computer model to be optimized for some target value.
There is nothing anyone is designing that is original.
I agree. Generally, open ended questions give you a pretty good idea of a candidate's aptitudes. I had a guy come to interview who'd supposedly got a CS degree with first-class honours from a fairly well-ranked British uni. He couldn't tell me what functional programming was, which I thought was pretty peculiar.

I tried to call the uni to verify his degree but they wouldn't confirm it without consent (Data Protection Act), and I wasn't going to employ him (for several reasons), so I didn't take it any further.
Hahaha, America. Funny country.

With regard to data stealing / backdoors: It is the same as installing apps on a computer. You lose the walled garden of Apple but this is only the same as any other computer system has been since computers existed.
> I envision a technical interview as an opportunity to make sure the candidate can actually do the task you need them to - the screening of non-programmers should be done beforehand.

Ahh I see where we disagree, I might have read the blog post wrong. To me a phone interview is the actual screen.
I'd never do an actual interview over the phone that was the basis for the final hire/no hire.

If the OP means phone interview as the actual interview rather than a phone screen then yes, I'd certainly relax my position somewhat.

usually for phone screens I'll open a shared google doc site and get the user to do a problem like fizz buzz.
I agree that it's not appropriate here, but in general; people do it because male forced envelopment victims get congratulated, male domestic violence victims that call for help are redirected to a hotline to confess as an abuser, males are ignored in legislation bringing more health care benefits to women, males are more likely to commit suicide, and males are less likely to succeed in lower education or matriculate into college. Also the prisons are full of men (who get longer sentences for similar crimes), where it's also a hilarious joke that they are raped because fuck criminals.

I wouldn't have replied but I hate that "what about the menz" trope. Men and women both have social problems, it wasn't appropriate to discuss men's issues here but that does not mean it is never appropriate. Maybe people need better filters than, "a discussion about gender is occurring, here is my two cents," but it's hard for people who care about these issues to find a good time simply because it's somewhat taboo to say men have problems at all. So they probably just don't mention anything until they really disagree with something being said.
Sure, but what's wrong with his approach? POSIX sh supports all the things you need to do 'if GNU grep run this, else if BSD grep run that' - functions, case statements, conditionals. He's not talking about building up major libraries in shell, just wrapping the invocations in functions based on the environment you're in.
Shame it doesn't happen in the browser this time around. That PDF exploit last year was slick.
When Data is Worthless
Just thinking aloud here. Could that problem be avoided by putting the tooltip element outside of the thing it is tipping, and then using a CSS selector like ".tipped-element:hover + .tooltip-element"?

I'm sure there are some other caveats that would reveal themselves later even if this one is avoidable...
Humans appear to be able to impact climate locally, so it would appear to be that there is a reasonable chance that this would scale:

http://www.economist.com/node/17722704

NB My own view on the climate change question is probably summarised as "profoundly confused" - I don't trust much of the popular or political literature on the subject and I don't have the time to review the academic literature (which will be biased anyway - I worked in academia for long enough to know well enough how that game works).

So I find it all too easy to believe that we can have an impact - but I probably agree that directing climate in a constructive way is probably beyond our capabilities as a species.
The difference is that with long flags, even someone without 10 years of POSIX experience knows what's going on. The long example on the OP's article makes a lot of sense to me, even though I'm primarily a Windows user.

At the same time, for instance, I've no idea what the -tr flag to ls does, even though I use ls often enough.
I'm thinking about this from MSs point of view, I think it's broadly a good thing if cross platform games become the norm.

I always assumed that XNA was a play to keep indie developers invested in Windows/Xbox.
This is what happens when a company contracts someone for $9/hr and says "Make me something like [url] for my site".
This. Technical interviews are important but their purpose should not be to check whether you know a particular function/API whatever. Their purpose should be to take a real world problem and show the interview how you resolved it. Sure, remembering specific details of a technical subject is always handy but just because I don't remember the function that does task 'x' in language 'y', doesn't mean that I cannot use it.
This is silly. I can type grep's "-iv" before your auto-complete has enough info entered to complete the first option alone; "--i<Tab>" would beep, needing a "g" to continue.

If you work in mobile security, you essentially have to jailbreak the devices you use for testing. Things like being able to edit /etc/hosts are critical, as is being able to decrypt applications for analysis.
I can vouch for 'The intelligent investor' as well... If you are after a grandiose wide view of things, then this is the book to look at. After reading it, everything makes just a bit more sense indeed!

3. Those behind large media conglomerates all happen to have the same rules, incentives and culture. Certain stories are collectively suppressed not just because "they wouldn't be interesting to US public" but because it would undermine certain assumptions and values that are held in the large corporate culture.

Read "Manufacturing Consent" book for a more thorough explanation on how the system works.

(It works on individual level -- journalists and corporate --- certain stories are suppressed by the owners).
Looks to be true, but if this is a day-to-day concern for your business things must be running themselves. Consider it a badge of honor, like your application being valuable and important enough to become warez. I'm guessing your value-add proposition goes way beyond looking good on your first page. I would however take concern with those so sloppy they are using your bandwidth.

This claim is useless without any data backing it up. Where's the proof that this is even an issue? If you're targeting screen-readers, then that's a progressive enhancement issue. If you just want to guide the user, then work on giving the user more information sooner.

edit: I'm not saying you should use placeholders as replacements for labels, this will probably invalidate your HTML.(guess). I'm saying this is not a very good point until it's proven to actually get in the way of the user experience. I don't think we should treat our users like idiots, because they're not, so any time that gets included in a design decision, (the assumption that our users are dumb), I already know it's a bad one.

Plus, if you have too many fields in your form, that you need to start adding labels for clarity, you should probably split that up and multi-page it.

update: rhetorical
You should really read about Operation Mockingbird. I was just listening to WBAI on my way to lunch and they were talking about it along with MK Ultra and Operation Northwoods.

These are not conspiracy theories, these are facts.
I can't speak for VMG, but:

Assume you buy that human emissions are driving enough of climate change that if we removed that driver things would stay "cool enough". China has already markedly surpassed the U.S. as the largest total CO2 emitter, and they're not even close to the U.S.'s per capita emissions. Even if they can manage to continue to industrialize while only emitting per capita as much as the nuclear-heavy French, you're still looking at an increase of 15-20%, and I think that's optimistic. AFAIK, the Chinese are building coal fired power plants as fast as they can.

And that's just China. India and Africa would like to enjoy a Western quality of life as well.

I am extremely skeptical that CO2 emissions can be substantially curtailed, short of a world economic collapse that would make 2007-2009 look like a walk in the park.

But I am more than willing to be convinced. I think it would help the alarmed AGW folks immensely if they would unify around a politically impractical "if we ruled the world" plan. One sufficiently detailed that it could be analyzed for its climatic, economic and social effects, as well as publicized, criticized and modified until it becomes practical. A starting point might be, "Tax fossil fuel extraction at the source at levels sufficient to reduce emissions the necessary N%". But then you have to figure out what to do about the facts that this sort of plan would likely never be accepted by Russia or China, and that it's a massively regressive tax on the world's poor. There are solutions to these issues. Figure them out, add them to the plan, lather, rinse, repeat. If something like this already exists, I haven't seen it.
In the BBC they explain that he is a direct descendant of the mother of the King, by an all female branch. They don't explain why they take all the trouble to find this kind of descendant, and why this detail is important.

But the only reasonable explanation is that they are using mitochondrial DNA. The advantage of the mitochondrial DNA is that it is not mixed so, ignoring a few random mutations, the mitochondrial DNA of this person and the king should be equal.
You could easily use this to your advantage:
1. Your portfolio is now larger (my designs + people who ripped off my designs)
2. You could create a "Submit sites that ripped off our design" for your customers and create a conversation around it
3. Ask the sites to reference yours in their footer
4. Modify the ripped off source files to display modified header/footer on external sites

You should be thanking them for creating so many opportunities for you. Why not expect everything will be stolen and go from there? It's all public files in the end.
