Not that I know of.

The real culprit of my misfortune though was that my trusted devices (which wouldn't require 2nd auth) got erased because when I got asked to do two factor authentication in the hostel's computer I clicked on the "I don't have access to my phone anymore" link (seemed very fitting!) which then let me change my verification options (e.g. add a 2nd email address that they can send a link to, rather than have them text me a code). This got me into a weird state (which I think they told me ahead of time but I went through it anyways) where it takes 30 days for these new verification options to override the old ones. You can of course cancel this - provided that you have access to your old verification options (i.e. phone in my case) :)

That's a good design for sure (prevents a hacker from changing verification options without me noticing). However, what is a terrible design, and I don't know if it's a bug or not, is that when you change these verification options it also decides to erase every single one of your already trusted devices.

This meant that now, instead of only being unable to login to anything on random computers (e.g. hostels) I was unable to use any of the MS services on my Surface which I had brought on the trip.

Thank goodness that this happened near the end of the trip and not the beginning. I was only left without email, skydrive etc. for ~2 weeks.
> Musical notation which is obviously code for humans playing instruments (it even has loops, I think, AFAIR from my music lessons; don't know about conditionals; if it has them, maybe it's Turing-complete?).

The are conditionals in standard music notation, at least ones that involve "executing different code" based on the value of a loop counter.

You actually allude to the answer in your question.

When you say that "as a programmer I should be comfortable adapting to different languages" you expose the key concept that will help you to make the decision.

You should do what you're comfortable with.

In theory, you're in this field because it's what you love to do. You enjoy it, and we're usually comfortable with doing things that we enjoy.

It follows, then, that you should progress when and only when you feel comfortable with making that progression. If you don't feel comfortable and confident in telling your clients that you'll do WordPress work for them, you should not tell them that.

Do what you're comfortable with. It's guaranteed to be better for both parties in the end, because you don't end up working on something you don't want to or aren't able to do, and your client doesn't end up with something that is built by someone not confident with the technology they used.

However, doing what you're comfortable with comes with one important caveat. You should never be too comfortable with what you're doing... that's a sign of stagnation, something which is sure to be deadly to your career.

In your role as a freelancer, it's not your job to accept a position which you're uncomfortable with. However, it is your job as a freelancer to keep learning, to stave off that stagnation.

Keep improving your skillset. Always be learning. Be comfortable, but don't stagnate.
A sad read indeed. Unfortunately this is not new. No country ever loved there soldier as much as their soldiers loved their country.

I remember reading about pay issues in the roman army when I was at the university. It hasn't changed in 2 000 years. Apparently the roman soldiers experience that their families back home didn't get their pay, and wives was given receipts where there was subtracted xx day for "leave" because their husbands was dead at the time.

We can only speculate if there is any motive and reason her, or only incompetence…

DF is inefficient and inconsistent even with the hotkeys memorized. It's no vim.

I'm sure minecraft will be smaller by then, but that's because it's far less complex and development is basically nil at this point. Nothing to do with how the controls are implemented.
I'm a huge user of stuff like this... There are definitely big opportunities in this market. It's not sexy, but it's really valuable.

One thing that's not clear is how Asseta is better than DoveBid or Equipnet. All the best deals are found at auction, and running those is going to be really hard for these guys to get into. There aren't any prices listed, either... just "contact seller" buttons. There are tons of markets that just list items with web-to-lead forms (biox, biosurplus, alliance analytical, etc).

Everyone who buying from these markets for long enough ends up writing bots to crawl pricing and availability data. That would be a useful service. Because it's all based on auctions for a very thin market, it can be hard to get a sense of availability or fair pricing for a particular type of equipment. Aggregating all that and making it actionable would be useful. I'm not sure I get just another site with listings and no prices though.

Logistics is another huge problem. There have been several times where we've bought something for a huge discount only to end up spending more than the cost of the hardware on rigging and shipping it. Some companies even pick up trucks at transportation auctions, hire a driver, and use it to pick up their equipment from all over before selling the truck at auction again.

We spend huge amounts of money on capital equipment, along with much of the rest of the world, and these kinds of services would be a big deal to us. I'm excited to see how their business evolves.
IMO, a large part of being a successful programmer is to know how / with what patterns to approach the problem at hand (in your case: the goal set by the client). the actual language most the time is just the means and quickly learned. that said, when it comes to actual code quality, experience is important too: each language or framework has its irks and special feature.

i have taken on freelancing work in languages and/or frameworks unfamiliar to me, but spent 1-2 weeks beforehand learning the basic stuff on my own time. if you feel unsure whether to take on the job or not it's probably best to be honest to the customer - let them know that it is your first project with language x or framework y, but that you'll be willing to invest in it and provide them with a good solution.

and last but not least there's the saying "learning by doing" :)
But don't forget that reduced services include things like town water (you'll need a well with a radon filtration system), a reliable electric grid (you'll need a generator), and timely snow removal (you'll want a vehicle that uses thrice the fuel).

And the crux of the matter - as NH does absolutely nothing against federal taxes, you'll still be paying the majority of your present transaction costs.
Readers may be interested that Britain's joint armed forces pay system, part of JPA (Joint Personnel Admin) is also recognised to be something of a clusterfuck (although not quite as bad now as it was back when it arrived), dragging in its wake myriad unlucky sods who found themselves paid incorrectly and struggled to get anything fixed, including an RAF chap who ended up simply suing the MOD for the money they owed him but found themselves unable to actually give him.

JPA was put together principally by the no-longer existent EDS, whose reputation for being able to handle large complex systems is well known in the industry.

It's worth mentioning that in the industry, smart cookies recognise that payroll is very much a wicked problem, and payroll for something as complicated as the armed forces is massively complex.

Less smart cookies do not recognise this and routinely massively underestimate the work involved and the support required.

The number of times the Dutch police have legally tapped telephone and internet lines may vastly exceed that of others such as the U.S. because the U.S. (thinks it) doesn't need a warrant and as such it's not being logged as a wiretap.

I've never been clear why people think "guns" will protect them from a government that has massive technological and economic resources at their disposal.

I'm not saying you won't be alive. And I know guerrilla techniques can keep these kinds of conflicts going for decades. But what will you really have besides some quasi-freedom?

To me, the much more important weapons of (using your example) the Revolutionary War here in the U.S. were the intellectual weapons sharpened by the Enlightenment that were used to create the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in the first place.
Awesome, if you're open to talk some time I'd love to learn more about your way of doing things.
Ought you? Those are all different bits of hardware. One being subverted doesn't mean the others are - if nothing else, the attacker isn't likely to have a vulnerability for every combination of firmware and chip.

This sort of attack is usually going to be more trouble than it's worth to execute, but that doesn't mean it's out of reach for a motivated, educated individual.
The last line is the disadvantage. You need the data pins to enable high-current charging. I suppose you could create a digital "transformer" to isolate the iDevice from the port while still enabling high-current charging.
It makes me furious that no one bats an eye at spending a BILLION dollars on a single presidential campaign but they can't sort out pay and benefits for our armed forces and veterans.

Meta-comment on the article itself:

Story 2 seemed unrelated to passive income until I clicked through to the original HN comment and realised the blog post author hadn't quoted the line about Ziad being a passive income hacker.

I find these stories reinforce my (already negative) impressions of the "passive" income/affiliate business; if the purpose of this post/blog is to promote the "hacker's guide to passive income" book-in-progress, it certainly failed.
The fact that your targets need to be connected on the same wifi makes this tool itself not as 'powerful' as this article makes it (it's not much different than Wifi Pineapple). You can probably build an even cheaper one with an old Android phone off ebay for $20.

Professional services taxes similar to sales taxes are not unheard of, nor are gross receipts taxes that vary based on what kind of business you're in. There are as many tax systems as there are tax jurisdictions.

The problem here is somebody wrote a "services tax" without the first clue what they were actually doing. It's like intending to impose a new cigarette tax, but writing it such that anything which burns might fall under the definition of cigarette.

Also, the main point is that they're not following the spirit of the law. The primary value is the software, but they're under-charging for it and over-charging for related services in order to avoid taxation on the true value of the software. That's what someone was ham-fistedly trying to fix.
If you decline, you would be making the same mistake some companies do by only hiring developers with previous experience in a very specific set of technologies.

Every developer who works with WordPress/PHP/MySQL, or any other technology, at some point didn't have experience with them. Everyone has to start somewhere or there would be no developers at all.

Whether you disclose your lack of experience to the client depends on the nature of the job. If they only need a basic installation with some plugins and theme customization, take it. Give a reasonable time frame for delivery and deliver it.

If on the other hand, they need you to scale their multi-million page views network of blogs, or develop a mission-critical super-complex plugin in a short time frame, then you might want to tell them you haven't done this before, but are willing to work with them to help them achieve their goals.

The startup that I work for is built on .NET using C# and ASP MVC. Licensing costs were not a barrier/concern as we were part of the BizSpark[1] program. This gave us free access to all the Microsoft software we needed. We only recently graduated out of that so it will be interesting to see what affect that has on some of our future tech decisions/directions.

Visual Studio is an amazing IDE and C# is a top notch language. The price you pay for that is worth it and shouldn't be an issue for a profitable startup (which you should be by the time you graduate the BizSpark program). Like others have said, the bigger issue is that it ties you down to all the other Microsoft licenses such as Windows server.

I know of other startups that are using C# and .NET and run a mix of Windows and Linux(Mono) servers. This has forced some decisions for them though, such as rolling some of their own frameworks/tools that work nicely with Mono.

No (some things are exempt), yes (food at a restaurant is both a good and a service), and yes (the HST goes to the restaurant, the tip goes to the waiter).
I bought a new kitchen countertop through Lowes a few months ago, and this is exactly what they did. The countertop is priced by the square foot, but they write up the total cost as labor so that they don't have to charge sales tax.

You realize that in most of the U.S. you pay sales taxes on restaurant food and tip the waiter, right?

In some states groceries are exempt from sales tax, but restaurant food is not exempted by any state (except in the trivial sense in states that don't have a sales tax at all).

ChikkaChiChi, that may be the single best explanation for what Vagrant is. Most people answer: "It provisions VMs" which isn't as enlightening as your answer!
It may not make much of a difference to you, but I should point out that our colo in the Netherlands is mostly used for a Squid cache cluster, and is not a primary datacenter.

Also, the citation you give is about phone tapping, not the kind of NSA-style online surveillance we're talking about trying to protect against with HTTPS support.

IMO, in general you shouldn't consider your activity over HTTP private regardless of whether you trust a particular government or not. Even some random individual running Firesheep in your local cafe is a threat in such a case.

About the larger point: even with the fully craptastic information we've learned about NSA snooping, there are huge advantages for Wikipedia users to have our organization and Wikipedia data hosted in the United States. As one big one: I'm not sure Wikipedia could survive if it wasn't for Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.[1]

That's an interesting way of looking at "parasitic" programs. Maybe we could even get those parasites to work for us, like trapping them as the house pen-tester. You could employ the constant barrage of attempted ssh logins as remote connectivity check or something.
How exactly is this incompatible with it being open source? Being open source does not mean that you have to accept contributions from others, nor is it incompatible with making a decent living especially when the game is free as in free beer anyways.
It's all down to laziness, IMO. That FBI agent could have done some research for verification and realized that Goldman was selling him an overblown story. What's the point, though; the courts will do their background research eventually, right? And by then they'll be arresting the next poor schmuck Wall Street doesn't want to lose to a competitor.
This guy is bit thick. Buying a whole index is like buying a piece of economy, which may sound a bit more plausible for people who don't get it, like this one. Also shares have a built-in hedge against inflation (not totally true, but "true enough").
> Even the AGPL, designed to be viral for web applications, requires the operator of the server to make the code available to users of the server. Assuming all users were Goldman Sachs employees, I don't see any legal obligation for them to contribute back to the community.

Given that GS is a multi-billion global behemoth which runs a bewildering array of computerized services with an even larger array of customers, I'd be pretty shocked if they didn't have some API or client functionality which would trigger the AGPL if they included AGPL'd code in it.
Even if such a license existed, it's still the responsibility of the derivative code's owner to comply. If they refuse, then they can be sued, but their code can only be released under the license by their deliberate action.

Why worry about what might happen in 4-5 years? It takes time, especially for the banking industry, to adopt new standards. Also, encrypted bank communications can be logged and broken later, so you also need some time to allow for sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, account numbers, passwords, etc. to change. When you consider all this things start to look a little more urgent.
