The main problem for me is the narrow format of the dev tools. I can't see the web page well and I can't see the debugger well.

Docking to the right side is also bad, because it reduces my width and makes the page display badly.

I fondly remember the debugger I used to have in Borland Pascal 7 under MSDOS. Concise and efficient.
Did you really need someone to point that out for you or were you being difficult?
So people can discover options and learn about them. It's not like anyone is magically born an expert.
>Secondly - there is this idea that one can boil entire brains down to one number like a CRC or checksum - the IQ number. Then you can rank them in order I suppose. It is obviously a ludicrous endeavor on reflection.

Nothing of that diatribe is reflected in the statistic you just quoted. Pointing out a correlation between IQ doesn't necessarily mean IQ is some perfect heuristic to weed out the proles.

I think it's normal for us to defend our jobs.

It's not normal to stumble blindly into them. It's not like people wake up one morning with randomly assigned jobs. Depending on the kind of job, it's also normal for everyone else to defend themselves against that job. Avoid such jobs.
I know I might be a bit pedantic, but Finland is not part of Scandinavia; only Sweden, Denmark and Norway are. Finland is part of the Nordic countries, along with Scandinavia and Iceland.

This tiny bit of research makes me concerned about the rest of the article's content. And as jared314 correctly points out; things are different in Finland compared to the United States. Moreover; remember, what is good for Finland, may not be good for Colorado. Hell, what is good for Colorado may not be good for Maine. Or Finland versus Denmark, for that matter.

Each country and/or state is different, and should - appropriately - be treated that way. Don't be too swayed by success, also learn from failure.
Not just fucking, but holy fucking. One cannot help but be assaulted by the image of their most beloved deity or earthly representative engaged in all manner of despicable behaviour. With human waste playing some sort of horrific part in the act. Highly offensive. Nightmare enducing, even.
Why Jeremy Grantham Thinks Billions Of People Will Starve To Death
Behaving reasonably and like an adult would not make good material for a blog post though.
Let's face it; the intention of Bitcoin is to act as a decentralized currency, controlled by no organization. Anonymity is one of the largest drawing points, if not one of its fundamental goals (though not entirely accomplished, I know). The US and other governments will attempt to bring this tool under their heavy handed, arbitrary and profit-seeking hands to, at best, take money for themselves, and at worst, destroy the currency's usefulness.

For those wondering how they can keep their bitcoins out of the hands of mettling governments' hands, look up "bitcoin tumbling" and other forms of laundering.
I'm not sure how much you know about the drug business, but no part of the chain of illegal narcotic production, from the farmers to the chemists to the smugglers to the dealers, is quick or easy. The barons get where they are by taking enormous risks, and are constantly under mortal threat from other drug cartels, backstabbers and governments. If it were easy, drugs would be cheaper.

Stick to ducks, is what I'm saying.
Your thinking is too narrow. You are focused on the small subset of transactions where you use credit cards. Bitcoin is a solution to a much larger set of problems where credit cards do not work at all, or well enough.

Firstly, you just cannot use your credit card (or Paypal, or Western Union) to do certain transactions: sending any amount of money to a family member overseas (WU does not operate in many countries, and has limits), making a donation to an organization censored/oppressed by governments (PP blocks donations to Wikileaks), etc.

Secondly, even when you can use the traditional banking system, it is inconvenient: driving 30min to a WU office to receive money, waiting days for wire transfers to complete, etc.

Thirdly, your credit card is tied to an account that your government, bank, or a court can seize for whatever reason (your spouse making fraudulent claims during a divorce going badly, etc). Bitcoin protects you from that. With Bitcoin, you own a purchasing power that no one can regulate or block.

Fourthly, Bitcoin transactions fees are voluntary, hence very low: typically less than 0.01%. This benefits not only sellers, but also buyers. Credit card transactions cost 1-2% (even if you do not see them as a buyer, the seller increase its prices to cover them).

Fifthly, the USD in your account tied to a credit card depreciates over time, because the Federal Reserve prints money continuously (causing long-term inflation). Whereas with Bitcoin your purchasing power is preserved or increased over time, as the maximum number of Bitcoins is capped (causing long-term deflation). Therefore you do not have to resort to various more or less risky investment options to preserve your net worth over your lifetime.

A "GET" request can land you in Jail
After reading through the judgment of Andrew Auernheimer case, I feel really taken aback and scared! How could calling 'public' GET API be unauthorized action?
How could the judgment be passed so fast and carelessly?
And why aren't the AT&T 'subscribers' suing them for keeping their private information insecure?

Frankly, now as a developer every time I make a "GET" request, I have this fear of getting jailed!
so... break it down for me. What social advantages do I gain by varying my clothing day-to-day?

(I mean, I understand the advantages of fitting your clothing to the situation; that's not my question. My question is, if the situation calls for a suit, what's the problem with wearing the same style of suit every time the situation calls for a suit? the same style of T shirt when the situation calls for a T shirt, etc...)

Or, maybe you are just telling me to fit my clothing to the situation. Which I'm not doing right now, mostly as a conservation of effort thing, which is to say, I'm too goddamn lazy to bother. But I understand why, at least.
Thanks, that's a great tip.
Isn't there something other in the background, like you don't like programming, and these higher topics just suddenly present themselves as the escape route?

With either yes or no, if you can afford you might consider taking off 1 or 2 years, moving to a cheap country and erudite yourself(online courses, books - but hell no to college) or just exploring stuff.
True. But in this case you could post a stackoverflow question / answer to take advantage of the fact that it will be run on another machine.
"By contrast, a person that creates units of convertible virtual currency and sells those units to another person for real currency or its equivalent is engaged in transmission to another location and is a money transmitter."

If you mine bitcoins and then convert them to real money (i.e. not buy goods or services with them) then you will be regulated.

> I, a female geek, was an outcast too and participated in many of the activities you mention, yet I came out mature.

Perhaps you should try being less insufferable.

The reason why no one should ever give in to this women in tech nonsense is that because the complaints are mostly just a projection of the complainer's own social awkwardness -it is easier to blame other people, and to join causes that attribute your (social) difficulties to things other than yourself. If one complaint is resolved, they will just dream up another -because the content of the complaint is not important to them, it is the act of complaining that sustains them.
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing as I was making the recipe. That brings up an interesting question: Is it fine to get 200% of your daily requirement for Vitamin A on one day and 0% the second day and let things average out, or will you be healthier if you get a steady stream of your daily requirements throughout the day? Maybe there are some nutrients that are easily stored in the body (like fat-soluble vitamins) and some that aren't?
"'Studies have shown that identical twins who grow up in separate families have an IQ correlation of 0.74, while adoptive siblings have no more similar IQ than strangers.' ... First off the bat, such studies are obviously social science, not science."

This is an important and legitimate way to estimate broad-sense heritability. It won't control for environmental effects within the womb, or cultural effects, but it's pretty strong science absent those criticisms.
Yeah, don't give in.

It just makes you look craven.

The Danish postal service has these as well. They're aren't great during the winter when the doors freezes shut. It's not to bad when the postman is prevented from loading your packages, they'll just end up at the post office. The real problem is when people have unlocked the door to get their package but then are unable to actually open the door.
Adria, its the photo that's the problem. Using to identify the people in question is OK. Posting it to the internet is wrong.

Unlike your explanation states you did not let the staff resolve it. You took matters into your own hands, and served up justice vigilante style. Just as someone has to watch their mouth, you also have responsibilities. I am sure you are sorry mr-hank lost his job. But just like his dumb ass comments posting photos cannot be undone.

It's silly to blame outsiders for not understanding the internal processes of one of the most secretive tech companies out there, and one that is very selective as to which journalists it gives access to information. Apple doesn't like people making wild guesses about what they're doing? Then they shouldn't be so secretive.

I repaired and calibrated surveying instruments not long after the dawn of the digital age. The older techs regaled me with tales of optical instruments that had fallen in pools at the bottom of mines. Doused quickly enough in clean water and then disassembled, cleaned and reassembled these instruments continued to work properly.

This product would never work for me (I can't speak for everyone else) because such a thin, denatured substance transfers into the intestines (digests) rather quickly. This leaves the stomach empty and me feeling hungry. My brain starts to make me feel bad at this point. Even if I have consumed 4000 calories, it does not care. My brain wants some food in there.

This is one of the same reasons why babies who can't eat solids yet need to eat so often? They can't even sleep all night because they wake up hungry. The day you start to feed them some cereal for dinner, they sleep much longer.
In the case of software as a service, different pricing tiers are at least semi-justifiable because you can argue that additional featuresets require more system resources to be added to the hardware infrastructure undergirding the site. If you want the more demanding features, you must compensate the provider for the extra infrastructure hit they'll be taking. Therefore, it doesn't feel as lame as intentionally performing a simple downgrade with the hope that you'll be able to trick others into paying more money for something that's already there if you know how to remove the foam/hack the resistor/whatever.

But doesn't schooling pretty much scale horizontally? Is schooling 84M really any more complex then schooling 1.5M?

If anything, I'd suggest there is a fairly large fixed overhead for a country to set up a school system (teacher training, set curriculum, exam structure etc) and beyond that it becomes fairly cookie-cutter to scale out each school.
The "jokes" (which are lame) weren't directed at her from what I can gather. The OP publicly lynched them, and one guy was fired for it.

Is fear of reprisal better than actual understanding?
> It is also broken in that when you do this Chrome rebuilds all the sub elements of what your editing so if there were event hooks or anything like that on the elements they will be gone.

This may not be completely true. In Edit As HTML mode every effort is made to retain the original elements. If you move some tags to another location, the real element (and handlers) should actually be retained.
It's a bit absurd. A chilling effect, even; now, instead of responsible disclosure (which weev seemed to think meant scraping 100K examples of the data and giving it to a Gawker reporter), we'll be left with irresponsible disclosure (anonymously reporting it or selling it on the black market).

That said, I don't think AT&T would necessarily have reacted well to an attempt at real responsible disclosure.

For an example of the ideal scenario for how this should be handled, there's the Steam data leak that Ars Technica found: http://www.gibsonindex.org/blog/2013/02/06/steam-leak/ - I rated it as a Level Zero event on my cyber attack ranking blog, because of the proper resolution.

I agree that the blame in this case lies mostly with AT&T. It's their responsibility to protect the data. They build the program so that if anyone asked it for anyone else's info, it went "OK, sounds good, here you go."

Weev was the one who asked. AT&T should be on the hook for answering.
I'm not sure what you're saying... There's no point in making comparisons because the U.S. and Finland are different?

Canada is much closer to Finland in PISA rankings than the U.S., but probably has more in common with the U.S. in most respects than Finland. Of course, Canada is not Finland or the U.S., and what is good for Canada may not be good for the U.S. ...

Seriously, look no further than the text-book industry in the U.S. It's a friggin' mess. If I were designing a curriculum in Canada, my #1 criteria for choosing a text-book would be "must not be used in Texas or California".

> If I owe you bitcoins I can choose to pay you in USD and you have to accept it.

That's not true at all. Legal tender laws mean that an offer of US dollars is legally recognized as an offer to fulfill a debt obligation; i.e. if the issue ended up in litigation, the court would treat your offer of dollars as a settlement of the debt.

But that doesn't mean that anyone is actually obligated to accept your offer of dollars, or that the agreement that generated the debt wouldn't give you a strong incentive to pay in BTC as opposed to USD.

The Greatest Joke.
I recently found a site called The Greatest Pitch (http://greatestpitch) through Twitter. I looked at the site and noticed the design was absolutely horrible and they're charging entrepreneurs $30 for a few minutes on some web show with 'top tier angel investors and VCs'. I looked up the founder, Jonah Lupton (http://twitter.com/jonahlupton), and I immediately thought he was a spam bot because his insanely high "following" count on Twitter. Not only that, he has like 10 active projects listed in his about, and none of those seemed to even be launched or successful. Most of the accounts served as a place for Lupton to retweet himself. I'm sorry, but the Greatest Pitch sounds like the Greatest Joke to come to entrepreneurship. If the Greatest Pitch is such a good deal, then investors should be paying for access to it.
That's not true. You're taxed on the value of your income, regardless of the form it takes; the IRS will treat the market dollar value of the BitCoins at the time you acquired them as the dollar value of your income. If someone gave you a free house worth $200,000, or forgave you of a debt of the same amount, that'd be equivalent to earning $200,000 in cash income for tax purposes.

No, it's silly to attempt to shift the 'blame' to Apple. It's really facile to, as Don says, make up "horseshit meant to draw flies" in a bid to merely get page views. Businesses, including Apple and Google, don't owe journalist or the so-called 'tech' press anything.
It's about the volatility and potential danger to copyright holders. If something requires a hardware hack, it's always going to take that much effort to apply. There's no easy way to instantaneously apply that hack to millions of peoples' hardware with minimal human effort.

With a software hack, it's much more fearful because once it gets packaged as a crack, it's four clicks to a perceived infringement on the copyright holder's rights. A barrier to entry this low makes software mods much more frightful to rightsholders.

Though the grandparent is right that these are similar practices in principle, people react differently because one is perceived as a widespread threat to the traditional mechanism of creative livelihood and the other is perceived as an advanced hack that will be done only be a couple of tinkerers. Most people are happy to provide encouragement and information to the latter group, but are more worried about the first group, as most software companies depend heavily on copyright law for their business model.

> You owe U.S. taxes (sales, income, property) in U.S. dollars

To pick a nit, sales and property taxes aren't, strictly speaking, U.S. taxes, and the actual taxing authorities - usually municipal governments - could theoretically accept payment via some alternate means.
This made me smile. Also reminded me of http://prog21.dadgum.com/169.html
Rosetta Stone is a great example of this. After years of heavy piracy and failed client-side protections, their solution was to make the program web and subscription based. While rips of services like this are still possible, they're much more effort than cracking a client-side application.
Of course. My point to guelo here is that Apple was open with Microsoft and got burned by them.

Ever since then Apple has decided that closed and secretive works best for it and I don't think any of us on the outside is in a position to argue that.
As a full-time web developer who works almost exclusively in Drupal, I'm sure that I'm more than a little biased, but I love it. I have a pretty varied background, and a lot of different experience, but Drupal is consistently the tool that I prefer these days for most of my projects.

I often hear that the learning curve for Drupal is high (and it certainly seemed that way to me five years ago when there weren't as many resources), but I can explain the major concepts and architecture of Drupal 7 to almost anyone willing to learn in about 10 minutes.

The biggest problem that I've encountered when working on Drupal sites is actually just bad/lazy developers. These people aren't really "Drupal Developers". They came from Joomla or .Net and jumped into Drupal projects without ever considering that they should find out what makes Drupal different. They won't be contributing anything back to the community, and it's unlikely that they'll develop anything that's reusable from one project to another. There is an abundance of information out there right now (even just on Drupal.org) for someone who wants to learn how to work with Drupal properly, but it seems like a lot of people would rather just complain that it doesn't behave exactly like whatever else it is that they're used to than actually try to learn about it.

For the record, a good place to start would be the Drupal documentation[1]. Drupal Answers[2] is pretty good, too. If you ever want to learn about a specific contributed module, try searching Youtube.

After looking at Adria's vague explanation, you should show your employer her blogpost because "large dongle" is not sexual harassment. This seems more like a case of someone so deep in a cause that they have lost sight of what the core idea of the cause is. This is very overreaching and I feel this way after reading her blogpost, before I thought her complaint had merit but not now.
