Be careful there, that logic doesn't hold for a lot of things. It might not be the clothes per se, so much as the activity and/or location they were at and the clothes just happened to be appropriate for the activity.

Example: Maybe girls are attacked at nightclubs a lot. You can't blame the clothes. The reason is probably because nightclubs are usually open at night. And(at least in the bay area) some of the cooler nightclubs for younger people are in sorta-questionable locations in terms of safety. And finally, if you're a young lady going to a nightclub you're probably going to dress to look attractive. The whole nightclub environment, young ladies dress up attractively... guys being guys(TM)... add alcohol... shady-looking people wandering about directly outside the nightclub... a lot of things to blame there, but clothes wouldn't be top of the list.

To most Brits the question is why would anyone want to have weapons primarily designed to kill people not only in their house, but in the houses and hands of almost everyone else. To us, that's what seems insane.
Hungerford and Dunblane kicked our gun regulation into effect, since then the incidence of crimes committed with guns has plummeted and we've not had a spree killing to the level of Dunblane.

My recent experience trying to get BT Infinity installed...

1. Initially called and asked for BT Infinity and was promptly told it wasn't yet available on our street. I therefore opted for BT Total (ADSL). All installed no problems.

2. Checked the website a month later. Checker tells me that Infinity is available. I call BT, make the appointment and wait.

3. BT engineer turns up and starts installation. He then goes off to the cab and returns quickly telling me that the cab they have me listed on is wrong. I'm registered as using is about 2 miles away. Far away from this cab. BT engineer tells me he will inform "head office" so they can sort it and get Infinity installed.

4. BT make a new appointment and another engineer is sent out who repeats the same steps as above because nobody has told him and it hasn't been fixed. Engineer leaves. No Infinity.

5. I get a SMS message asking me to rebook my appointment and after calling I talk with a operator who is ready to put me through the whole process again until I protest asking to speak with somebody who knows more. I get on the phone to this person who tells me that Infinity is not available where I live. I'm told to check back in a few months but get this...I'll have to rebook the appointment and get a engineer out before I find out if it's actually available.

WTF...

The sectarian element to football (and many other things) in parts of Scotland is bizarre - which football team you support (assuming you support any team - I don't) can be a hugely important indicator in many contexts.

Don't use the "signature" gem. Rails already provides a MessageVerifier class that wraps OpenSSL's HMAC; the "signature" wrapper uses "==" to compare HMAC values, and is thus timeable.

Really, don't use HMAC-of-the password authentication tokens at all, though. They're not nearly as secure as TLS.

Better still, don't use passwords in your API at all. Passwords are for humans. APIs use keys.

I did not suggest "rolling your own crypto". HMAC is detailed in an RFC (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2104), is widely used, e.g. Amazon AWS, and is part of OpenSSL. At no point do you have to "roll your own". If you don't implement this correctly the request will simply fail, the credentials won't be exposed at any point. Please spare me the FUD.

As a Bitcoin enthusiast, I am just as annoyed at those people. The lack of chargebacks has its ups and downs, and for cases when the ups outweigh the down, you'll want to layer protocols on top that allow for escrow-like services (including chargebacks), which bitcoin allows, and which people already do with other currencies.

So why would you do this? The entire point of the RPi is not that it is a computer, but a computer that you can hack. It has GPIO pins directly hardwired into the processor. It has a JTAG interface prominently exposed. How are you going to be hacking at it in any interesting ways unique to the RPi if you don't have physical access to it?
Of course, everyone would prefer to know the answer to their issues without any tools. As your code base becomes contributed to by more people, grows in size and leverages libraries you don't write, it becomes less feasible to always divine the state of the entire program. As component of a programmers skill set as a whole, better tools produce better results.

> I don't think theres any walled-garden conspiracy going on here - I honestly think this is the fault of the linkedin devs (or more likely project managers). What does a linkedin app need to do? Mostly they just need to do is display profile text and a few images inline. A mobile browser can display text and images perfectly fine - thats its bread and butter functionality. If you're having problems there, you done fucked up.

The question you actually answered is, "What I do with LinkedIn?" LinkedIn has a lot of functionality many of its users use every day. Things like groups, statuses, endorsements, recommendations, etc, etc. It's not just a resume viewer. Sit down with a competent recruiter or sales exec and watch them use it. It's rather eye-opening.

So, he's calling his team incompetent, or better yet HTML5 isn't ready.

Sounds like a whole lot of sour grapes. I'm glad Prasad and team originally pushed for HTML5, as their transparent push to strategically use HTML5 makes the ecosystem work harder. However, you're dealing with a walled garden that has very little incentive to play nice. If the experience is the same in HTML5 as the App Store, then Apple loses. At least in Google's case (with Android and Chrome) they are incentivized slightly different (by search).
I second this. Living in Germany I am blessed with the best of German water heating technology, which includes mixer taps (faucets). Whenever I go back to the UK to visit family, I end up scolding myself on the hot tap. My theory is that Brits either don't wash their hands, or if they do, they have a limited amount of time before the hot tap becomes too hot!
Oh sure, you're quite right. I'm not really making any statistical clams. Just an anecdote. You can't legislate about appropriate clothing for young women, this isn't a political issue it's a matter of private choice.
Wait a second, we need a revolution?

We all agree on the negative effects of those externalities, but pricing them in before completing the transition to sustainable systems would only make resources MUCH less affordable for the end-consumer - you, me and everyone else, given the basic needs those goods fulfill.
As I said in my first post, maximising food production isn't usually the issue. The only environmental impact you seem to cite is increased land use, and you don't seem to cover the many other environmental problems artificial fertilisers and pesticides cause.

Its also not clear that organic farming requires increased land use. Many people confuse organic farming with traditional farming carried out pre-"green revolution", which is better perhaps termed "low knowledge" farming. To farm organically you don't simply remove the artificial fertilisers and pesticides, you use techniques such as monitored crop rotations, green fertiliser plantings, natural predation and so on.

I don't have much time at the moment, but a quick google instantly brings up [1] and [2] showing examples of models and actual implementations of organic systems that increase rather than decrease yield. A google or pubmed search for organic yields, organic farming, organic developing countries etc. will give you weeks worth of reading on the subject.

My point regarding economic conditions changing is indeed valid. A farm reliant on pesticides may be wiped out entirely by a short, small economic downturn for that farmer which means she cannot buy pesticides for a short while. This leaves the farmer in a much worse position than if they had used free, natural methods and pest management, which may have a lower impact but fail catastrophically much less often. When you're crops are wiped out, it really is often game over. Lets compare that to, say, a investing in a road used to transport the crops to market. The economy falters a little for a year, and there is no money to repair the road, so you can't get to market. You crops survive and have to be thrown away. Next year, or the year after, the economy picks up and the road is repaired. You've had a very hard year or two, but you've still got your crops and you can get back on your feet.

I can't find the study regarding the roots, it was conducted a few years back (I used to run an organic coffee company and took notice of these things), it was a study conducted in Ethiopia by several NGOs and a couple of EU Universities. I'll try and dig it out when I get home tonight and update this post. The roots either tended to grow upwards/owards (closer to ground level, not out of the ground) rather than downwards, or were shorter/fatter due to having the nutrients they needed closer to hand. During dry spells (more common without irrigation) they performed much less well than organic counterparts which could tap into the lowering water levels for longer.

don't use BT as an ISP

No! That's what they want you to do.

Because then it means they get to care even less. It's still their infrastructure and therefore their van that needs to come out to your house to fix things, but you've added yet another layer onto the process.

They've worked their contracts with the ISPs so that the ISP can't actually do anything in your name, so you still end up on the phone with them, but you're not their customer so you can't mention anything being wrong with the internet as clearly that's your ISP's problem. No, now "the phone line is really scratchy" is your only line of attack and god help you if you've contracted that out to a 3rd party (or worse, your ISP itself!)

Then they've cleverly broken off the van that comes to fix things (BT OpenReach) as a separate company that you can't talk to, so you have to go through BT's call center, which will helpfully tell you that there's no fault, and that it will cost $150 to send a van out if it turns out they can't find anything (d'ya feel lucky, punk?).

Fortunately, the van guys are actually good. And BT's infrastructure is so terrible that there's always at least one fault they can find. Usually about 5 meters further down the line than last time they were had the truck out two weeks ago.

One day somebody will lay some fiber that has no BT-ness associated with it at all. And they'll get everybody's business.
My workflow is to only add south to the project when required. To begin with I use a bash script which trashes and rebuilds the DB each time I wish to. Data which needs to survive this gets dumped to fixtures (using another bash script).
Tesla was a genius; he often bemoaned the way Edison would perform a hundred experiments to discover something which was (to him) obvious if he just thought about it for a bit. But you know what? Edison succeeded where Tesla failed, and a good part of that can be attributed to reducing the art of inventing to an almost mechanical process, leaving his intellect free to concentrate on more important matters.

It's the same with debugging. I've worked with many programmers who took your attitude; some of them were more talented than I. But I fixed bugs faster than them, and got more done, because I let the tools take care of figuring out what was happening in a program to cause a bug, leaving me more time to think about other things.
But my point was not that everyone should start coding and leave whatever they are into.

Programming might simplify many of your tasks. Perhaps you're an Analyst in Finance or Consulting, who needs to deal with a whole bunch of spreadsheets - you could benefit a lot from being able to write a simple script to parse the data and process it into whatever you want instead of having to copy and paste a few hundred times.
Or maybe, you're a teacher, who might benefit from moving some educational modules or visuals onto the web.
Or perhaps, you're an engineer who might benefit from the ability to do some amount of numerical computing via computer programs.

Having a better understanding of code will definitely help.

I'm not a huge fan of fancy titles either. What I meant to say is that the salary should reflect the contribution. So if two person contribute the same value to the company, they should have same compensations.

Which is not necessary tied to titles, right.

Why would we want to "reform" gun laws when the crime statistics (you know, the facts I hope politicians use to make laws) show a continued decrease? The media's continued harping is not the actual problem. We have 15 categories of killers of American's that we are not addressing, never mind the damn budget, while we are doing something foolish in the Senate. It is so foolish because it would not have stopped anything that actually happened. If we spent the same political capital on cancer and heart disease, we would save more lives.

Beyond actual limited government conservatives basic belief system, a lot of people have experience with actual government run health care and have found it lacking (google "don't get sick after june" for the IHS side). Plus the massive bill no one read (with so many things set to be decided by the bureaucracy in rule making and RFPs[1]).

If the government had passed a bill that said, people on welfare would be added to the government employee's health care plan or perhaps some looking at what makes medical costs so high, conservatives would have supported it.

I would have been overjoyed with some basic tort reform, more medical scholarships(2), better medical savings account rules, and perhaps a government insurance program like the flood insurance for catastrophes that pays 100% after something like 50K(3).
--

1) yes, I read the whole bill to determine what I would have to change in my life

2) this part is going to be an actual concern given the required number of workers in the coming years

3) this would have also made normal insurance cheaper given a cap on max outlay for a person
