Wow talk about fallacies! :)

Here is one for you:

The straw man:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

I am accepting that I am going to be down-voted, not challenging people not to do it. See above fallacy.

As we keep discovering, sexism is the norm for women ...
We hear about one sexism case every few weeks here on HN. Of the many thousands of females in IT, do you think they are all just playing the silent card? Or maybe sexism is the infrequent case, not the norm? Sexism is rare for a pretty good reason: lawsuits. Of her 30,000 followers, how many have made sexist remarks? Less than 10? Seems like the norm to me...

We seem to have this conspiracy that sexism is all over the place, it's just that 99 percent of women are being silent about it. Does sexism exist? Yes. Is it frequent? Probably not, but everyone is entitled to their opinion on the matter.

Adobe Flex and Flash are far from dead and getting better and better. There have been quite a few new developments lately, like a brand new ActionScript compiler or the insanely cool Adobe Scout profiler (http://vimeo.com/54808142), new releases of Flash player with version 11.6 in beta right now. Visit http://flashdaily.net/ to find out how "dead" Flash is right now.

Also, JavaFX Script is dead, but JavaFX the library is doing quite well (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/overview/faq-1...).

This is, however, the bread and butter of shell programming.

> ... "tr --delete --complement"...

And, likewise, I'm not sure of the meaning of --delete and --complement, but I do understand "tr -dc". I'd have to look up --delete and --complement to work out what they're the equivalent of.

"I always wonder, how can you U.S. guys tolerate this stupid carrier lock-in with year-long contracts?"

How? Because we have a limited competition between carriers in the US. We "tolerate" because until very recently, there were not unsubisidized plans available (and even still, there are very few being offered.)
Nor was I trying to imply that she was. If I did, that was my mistake.

But even Taren admits that in his last 24 hours, Aaron did show signs of depression. Obviously that's not a lot of time, but unfortunately it doesn't take a lot of time to do what Aaron did.

At the very least, I think that his depression eliminates the idea that his prosecution was unquestionably the primary reason he commit suicide.
Wow, for that kind of money he ought to do the entire project for you. I think that's quite high for one be taught something which, theoretically, one could learn on one's own. Especially via Skype.
I'm going to point out that managed game programming is not dead for the XBox/PC. Remember that XNA was a replacement for Managed DirectX, which was killed off shortly before MS introduced XNA.

In other words, XNA is dying, but the C# and the managed game programming paradigm is not. It will be replaced by something, just not XNA.
Also, it super doesn't matter what the gender of the person posting the pictures was. The gender of the actors does not matter if the gender of the victim obviously does.
"Our designs are so awesome we have a bunch of imitators (<link> <link> <link>) but we think you'll agree that our original designs are better! Often imitated, never duplicated."
"That guy" in what sense? The one that thinks that it's not justifiable to accuse someone of causing someone else to kill themselves? I'm making a moral argument, not a jurisprudential one. We are responsible for the consequences of our actions, but our obligation to our fellow man is circumscribed by context and reasonable expectations. There may be situations in which it is reasonable to expect someone to kill himself, but this was not one of those situations. Carmen Ortiz cannot be held responsible, morally, for someone's unreasonable reaction to her actions. There are things you can hold her responsible for, morally, but suicide is not one of them.
> There are a lot of problems that we need to look at before climate change, like population control, water management, antibiotics etc etc.

Who says some of these aren't related to climate change anyway? As others have pointed out, we need to be working on these problems simultaneously, if we tried to solve them serially there's a good chance none of them get resolved.
I am surprised they lasted this long.
There's a number of problems. One is that it's whackjob fundamentalists that want to use this simply to isolate their children from reality. Another is that there's so many religions that just don't quite agree & wouldn't want their money going to a Baptist/Catholic/Jewish/Mulsim/Hindu/Scientologist/Mormon/whatever school. Finally, and most importantly, there's the 1st Amendment which provides for separation of church & state & putting any state money towards religious education is a clear violation of this principle.
Is that from a thread on bitcointalk.org somewhere? Can you link it? Would like to read the whole thing.
Apparently there have been high level court cases about this (last discussion had a guy posting the case). The 18% extra if portrayed as a "automatic gratuity" is not technically legally required.

Yes. This appears to be massively exploitative. They should never get to the point of hire if they're too unqualified to be paid.
Well, thanks for admitting your complete and utter ignorance on this matter, expressing your refusal to educate yourself, and portraying your inflated sense of self-importance to spend time telling us all this.

This is CB1’s world. Welcome for all.
The OP is a design house. Is this particular design the last drop of creative juice they have? I would think they can certainly evolve their site into another equally interesting design.

It's almost like what happens to Mercedes Benz. Companies like Mitsubishi shamelessly copy MBZ designs. They've been doing it for years. MBZ's answer is to continuously innovate.

One problem with taxing on profit is that you encourage accounting tricks.

Consider the reputation of the movie industry where actors and authors and everyone up and down the line are screwed because they took a percentage of the profits and it turns out according to the studio accountants, their megablockbuster never actually turned a profit.
Silence is not a non-contribution. You're not getting it, but then, you already told us you don't wish to spend even a second learning more about this issue, so I guess this won't help you either: http://tommorris.org/posts/8084
It is indeed tricky. I want to give developers a positive association with our company and with me as an individual. Being confrontational does the opposite.

WPF is neither dead nor dying. It will cease to exist when it is either replaced by a newer UI toolkit or when the desktop is completely replaced by Metro. And neither one of those two things are very likely to happen in the near future. And Microsoft hasn't stopped developing WPF. .NET 4.5 gave WPF a few additions and improvements. If you want to create Windows desktop applications WPF is still one of your best options.
Thanks for clarification! It must be that the internet coverage of the issue is heavily skewed towards disappointed people, as always.
Microsoft's Windows 8 game programming tutorials actually suggest using MonoGame, which is essentially an open-sourced clone of XNA that is nearly feature-complete.
I write a lot of shell scripts as part of my daily Sys Admin work. In my opinion, the author gave us choice to write less codes & readable code by using short flags for most of the command functionalities.

Consider something like this:
$ rsync -qaogtHr example.com:/opt/data/ /home/backup/

1. Elaborating all the short flags into long ones will increase readability by explaining this statement but at the cost of more lines of code.

2. All UNIX commands have options to combine short flags.
For eg:
ls -l -t -r ./
can be written as:
ls -ltr ./
This also helps in reducing code. Writing less code helps in managing it more easily.

Long options may help beginners, but once they get comfortable, Short flags may seem more readable!!

Imitation Is The Best Form Of Flattery
I find this type of scrolling annoying.
It depends on the scenario. Web services or user interfaces accepting user input should be validated. However, in deeper code, it is better to let the system throw an exception and let the client handle it. Otherwise, how would the client know the method failed? Also, it is easier to debug behavior if a system throws an exception, rather than hiding the error.
As you said, once I give you a dollar bill, the transaction is over. If I give you a check it will takes days for the actual transaction to happen and the money transferred (which can possibly end up in a physical transfer of cash)

Money does not depend on any kind of backing at all, for instance: the US gov has been flooding the market with dollars backed by the promise it will buy them back someday. Some countries don't even bother buying dollars anymore, they rely 100% on swap agreements.

Even if the economy collapses, the dollar will still be accepted for paying your gov duties, which means it will collapse too, equalizing the system. (inflation and deflation can be too complex for me to have any useful discussion)
Offtopic, but I prefer it that way. I hear enough people yammering away all day, I don't need it on my commute as well (I'd be fine with it if they just instituted data, but since when has the MTA ever done anything intelligently?)

That depends. I worked at a company where we revamped the entire checkout process including putting labels inside the input field and we had a significantly higher conversion rate than using the standard checkout forms one would find on a typical checkout process we had before.

Part of that was simplifying the look of the checkout, which includes putting the labels inside of the inputs.

Not to mention some very notable websites use this design choice, including Square, Twitter, and Apple.

There are lots of applications that don't involve the Linux desktop or a web browser though.
The service Netflix provides is licensing and aggregation, plus the UI and convenience. I'd say the first two are the ones most closely worth U$ 7.99 to me.

IMO, licensing and aggregation are the "hard" problems, not UI or streaming or whatever.
Well, they killed off the non-Chrome Linux flash player, and then they completely killed off Linux AIR support out of nowhere (too bad if you bought into the whole cross development AIR platform, have fun porting your mxml to a different language and framework!), and just recently they even killed off development of "Flash Player 'Next'". They also decided to require license keys per deployment to unlock the client player if you were using stage3d and the alchemy compiler in a single app (and then they changed their minds again just a few months later).

So building products and applications on the flash player these days is quite the gamble.
Unfortunately this doesn't appear to let me save the reordered list. I primarily watch on Roku and Android, neither of which provide this interface.

$100 USD (assuming this is USD) is pretty steep for remote mentoring.

...unless you have an extremely challenging, and specific problem they are going to help you solve.

For general iOS tutoring/mentoring, there are countless resources available online that will get you pretty far down the road of iOS mastery.

With that said, I will tutor/mentor your for $75 an hour! :)
iOS training companies fees break down to about $100 an hour, but for real life instruction including hotel and food. It is overpriced for Skype tutorials. I would suggest the Stanford iOS course which is available for free on iTunes U, supplemented by the materials on ADC.

There's a Cydia app called BrowserChanger that lets you change the default browser (so clicking a link in Mail will open Chrome instead of Safari, for example). Is there a similar app that lets you change the default maps application?
Except that this will take a while, and then fees will be collected by the miners, and as Bitcoin price rises, fees don't need to be in the integer amounts to be profitable.
That's only half of the argument. The other half being that, after having text in there (say, in the edit form of a CRUD app), your user no longer remembers what that field was supposed to represent to begin with.
You left out 7 (which encompasses a large part of 5 as well): a well-paid contingent of flacks for the fossil fuel industries. Also, the fact that so far, climate change has been more extreme than most projections.

Anonymous is really embarrassing themselves. Trying to connect the dots from doxxing "management at community banks" back to Aaron Swartz is so cringe worthy I can only shrug and assume they're doing it for the lulz.

If that kind of tax was implemented in all countries, this would render almost all phone manufacturers (except, well, you know, Apple) unprofitable. In fact it would not: they'll just raise prices, and we, as customers, will effectively pay this tax, not businesses.
I think this analysis is spot-on.
Nothing, of course.
In your Dell scenario then Dell would have to pass the tax on to the consumer in the price of their laptop. "Simple" as that. If the rate is 2% then Dell would have broken even on the $1000 laptop, so if they wish to make some profit they'll need to raise their price slightly.
How To Untethered Jailbreak iOS 6.1 On iPhone 5 Using Jailbreak Tool Evasi0n
I was just discussing this with a lawyer friend who is concerned that it is only a matter of time before anonymous gets classified as a domestic terrorist group. The PATRIOT act defines domestic terrorism as:

> activities that (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the U.S. or of any state, that (B) appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping, and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.

Condition C is met, condition B(ii) is pretty much declared. How much of a stretch would it be for a federal prosecutor to argue that condition A is satisfied because exposing personal information of powerful people is dangerous to their lives?

As you said, we should be more pragmatic about it. I don't accept DRM on my e-books or music either, but I'm willing to compromise on movies and some games.

Sticker price is, as you mention, a big point as well.
If you're comfortable doing freelancing, it might be worth trying to set out on your own.

Well done you. It's about time somebody stood up for men brave enough to pitch improbable edge-case possibilities in order to anonymously undermine a woman reporting her experience of sexual harassment.
Thanks for the insight. I'd definitely love to learn more. Frankly, I'd like to hear a thorough challenge to my central thesis in this essay that "The recruiter has little incentive to share that feedback with candidates other than goodwill and keeping the relationship strong with the candidate."

I continue to find that employers want a way to provide more feedback, though are currently prevented from doing so.

Someone with more insight into being a successful recruiter surely has a deeper understanding than mine, on this and other issues like the "numbers game" element.
I think that at the end of the day, when it comes to people copying your design, you really need to take the emotion out of it. I've had my design work copied before, so I know that there is an emotional response that comes along with having your work copied. But there also needs to be a practical assessment of what impact the copying will have on your business. If the site(s) copying you aren't big names and aren't competing with you, it's likely a waste of your time and energies to be pursuing them. That's time being taken away from your core business to focus on other people that ultimately have an inconsequential impact on your ability to be competitive and make money.

Traditional unix-style command line development hasn't gone away. As with most technological shifts, IDE market share has grown very quickly and has come to seem normal, but that doesn't mean the previous approach has stopped being useful. I would guess that in absolute terms there are as many people writing code sans IDE as ever. When you consider the growth in web services, and the fact that people coding in languages like Python and Ruby often just use plain text editors, it may well be the case that the popularity of IDEs has already peaked.

In fact many of the listed practices are common to all programming languages.
Comparing conversion rates of a complete before and after revamp won't tell you anything about the effectiveness of individual components of the revamp. You'd need several A/B tests or a gradual series of changes to tell you whether labels inside or out actually made a difference overall.
Taxing on gross is bad when your value add is simply integration. In the case of building computers - you take a bunch of components from individual producers, slap them together & call it a new product. The actual work done is very little & the margins are small but the total cost of the finished product has to reflect the cost of the components. Putting $10 of labor and $5 of infrastructure to make $5 of profit on top of a $1000 device become unfeasible.

Reading the article, they claim an operation like this is an ideal remedy to being "too big" yet their proposed tax plan makes it untenable.
My family members used to (some still sort of do) play a game called "got you last", wherein each player has a set of relationships with every other player, and the idea is to get everyone else last (adjudicated like tag), without anyone having gotten you last.

You need to keep track of whom you need to get last, and who might be trying to get you last.

So i should be taxed more, if instead of spending all my income month-to-month i shopped wisely and saved some money in the bank. That sounds right!
