It's not the exact same issue, it's the exact opposite. Using meaningful markup (not div) where it shouldn't exist is more harmful than the contrary. Not using tables for layout doesn't mean you can't use tables at all - use tables for tabular data.

Ask a blind person how they feel about you not agreeing that they should have access to the same web you do. They actually do 'watch' movies and TV by audio only. A lot of information is lost, but it's better than nothing. And with a web page using correct markup, a good screen reader interface, and some practice, they can navigate and consume information much faster than we can visually.
I think key management is a really big problem, as I say in my blog post 'I shouldn’t be trusted with anything as precious as my own private key'.

I'm not so sure about the problems with webmail. I don't see why they would be significantly different from the problems associated with serving a web banking site, and there are plenty of those.
I'm sure they don't. Just like our government doesn't care about ours.
Well at least you expect the downvotes. Which leads me to wonder why you thought this comment would be informative and helpful in the first place.

> Short answer: CSS is just a horribly, horribly, terribly badly designed language.

On the contrary, it's the box model that's horribly designed. CSS is quite excellent.

We're long past the days of web pages being simple hyperlinked documents, but the browser's layout options haven't evolved quickly enough.
This.

By agreeing to fix their problem, you are now held liable at least in their mind. You are that "professional that can safely backup their data..." or whatever else they think you are. Surely if you can handle a big corp IT department you can take all that proprietary software home (piracy) and solve their problem?

Now that I've left IT directly into software development, I get to play the "Hey I'm just as illiterate as you!" card which is at least partially true. I don't have expensive software or even take proper backups of my extremely important data I wouldn't store in the cloud. Would you want someone like me touching your computer? You shouldn't.

I've done everything I can to be unavailable. It's a choice and one I proudly make. I just don't have the free time for charity any more no matter who you are to me unless I'm actively seeking some form of community service.
The first one (and the third one, which is closely related) doesn't provide any mechanism to override a single of the padding settings while inheriting the rest.

If you could only have one mechanism, and you weren't going to lose significant functionality, it would have to be the longhand padding-top, padding-bottom, etc., set.

But I think having the shorthand rule is worthwhile.

The police social engineer them that if they talk then they'll probably be let go, or all of it will be "sorted out". Foolish criminals actually think they can snow the police too with transparent lies.

The police are hoping you lie, because now they can easily trip you up later in court. Often they will just nod their heads and accept your complete BS and write it all down to give to the prosecutor. They will listen to an hour's worth of fabrications and pretend to be fooled by it so you talk some more, then arrest you because now you have provided them all they need.

In the UK police do this all the time with suspected drug importers. They show up and claim to whoever answers the door that if they tell them where the drugs are, this will all be sorted out with a fine or something and they will be on their way. The fool at the door agrees and now their entire place is ripped apart by a search and they are arrested and charged. There is a fine in UK/Ireland for cannabis drug posession, not for importing though.
Perhaps your addiction is influencing your perception of your coding performance. The best way to test this is to find an impartial third party to compare your caffeine-code to code you wrote before you started drinking coffee (as in, not the code on day you DIDN'T drink coffee).
The one offering the best product. Or are you saying you are judging by appearance?
Perhaps a primary election where the parties select between a gaggle of variously qualified candidates with a nationwide vote? Sounds like a great idea. The hard part would be getting voters to participate in it since it would be about as interesting as lower level (state/county/city) elections, which have abysmal turnout.
Sharing a proxy is far more concerning, security-wise than having a website guess who you are based on metadata.

Tell me about it! By being part of the tech industry here, you get to rub shoulders with the likes of Zuckerburg, Dorsey, & Bezos. That type of exposure just doesn't exist in Australia. Unfortunately there are some other issues though....
Easiest way to get started:

1) Install Leiningen (download script, place in usr/local/bin), then "lein new project".

2) Download Clooj (standalone .jar), run with "java -jar clooj"
https://github.com/arthuredelstein/clooj

3) Open project directory in Clooj.

It will automatically set up the REPL, and you can run expressions just like in EMACS/Light Table, it has code completion, source browsing, etc... Super easy to set up and run, much easier than any of the alternatives.

This Clojure environment is by far the easiest programming environment I have ever set up. Far easier than even Python or Ruby on Linux, definitely easier than anything EMACS-related. Leiningen is super easy to use from the terminal, and Clooj is super easy to set up and use.

Literally Sweating for My Startup
I hear you. What city did you move to? (Melbourne is my home town).
It seems it's a bit of a shell game...

$500/month with some prescription coverage is a guaranteed $6k/year.

$200/month without prescription coverage is a guaranteed $2400/year - $3600 savings. If you know you'll have more than $3600/year in prescription costs, then this plan doesn't necessarily make sense, but unless you know you'll have that much in costs, it doesn't matter.

I was looking for something where I self-insure the first $10k in an HSA, and then the plan covers hospitalization+drugs past that. And those exist, but not at the lowest end.

Not sure what you mean. Those are the only HD/HSA plans I see - you self insure up the first $2k/$5k/$10k, and the insurance plan covers stuff after that. Most I've seen, deductibles under $10k carry a co-insurance split between you and the insurer up to a certain amount. In our case, if we just took the $10k deductible, we'd get everything covered after our initial $10k, and that is the 'lowest' end (I'm thinking you're meaning cost - maybe you mean something else?)

"Founders who have successfully built and sold, say at least three companies for millions each over a period of years would tell me this person has a genuine talent for entrepreneurship."

No.. it tells you this person is a lower risk than someone without a track record or a worse track record.

History is filled with people and companies who had a string of successes followed by failures. Those people weren't talented one day, and untalented the next.
Its a good question, although some folks like the challenge. If you treat it like a game where you get information and they don't it can be entertaining. You can think of it like a puzzle, which is "What can I say in answering this question which is seems like an answer that is completely useless?"

Now of course I don't recommend playing head games with law enforcement officers, when they figure it out it irritates them (just like it would probably irritate you when someone was playing head games with you) But I do recommend playing this game with friends. The benefit is that if you play it for a while you be able to recognize pretty quickly when someone is playing with you (friend or not) and then you can either call them out on it (if you are trying to establish higher levels of trust) or play back (at which point there will be a reaction which varies all over the map).

It's sort of like lock picking, a skill that is fun to have but you really don't think you will use it in your professional dealings with people.

I've been digging deeper and deeper into vimscript and also scripting vim with python. It's so amazing what you can do with just a few lines of hacky vimscript!

Today I made it so that every time I open a .markdown file, vim compiles it to html and opens it in my browser (using 'open' command on OS X). It also updates it automatically every time I save or leave insert mode.

I've also hacked together a python REPL inside a vim window. (Wasn't very hard, as vim has python built-in.)

Once you realise that Vim is just an extension of the command line, a new world opens up. Everything you can do from the command line, you can do from Vim. Throw in Python and the options are endless... So much POWER!!

BTW: I also discovered vim has MzScheme built-in, so don't go for emacs just because of lisp... Vim has a nicer lisp! Come to the dark side, we have cookies! (And lisp.)

Because it's nonvolatile.
Good point. I drink about 1-3 cups a day, and wonder sometimes how dependent my energy and mood is on caffeine. I _think_ I feel groggy without a morning cup, but I'm too lazy or unconcerned to track how I feel, how much I drink and factors like sleep very closely.

I'd love to read more about studies on this, I'm sure they're out there.
My worry is coverage of prescription drugs above $10k/yr. I'm perfectly fine paying for normal prescription drugs, but when I was looking for high-deductible insurance, all the cheaper plans explicitly said "no prescription drug coverage", even above the high deductible, which I didn't feel comfortable with. To me the idea of the high-deductible plans was that I cover regular costs in return for coverage in the event of a catastrophic illness. For example, in the unlikely event I'm diagnosed with MS and need a Copaxone prescription ($40k/yr), I can't self-insure that amount.
What exactly are people doing with these Mac Books that could not be achieved on a $1500-1800 PC?

If you work for a film studio, then I can understand blowing 3 grand on a machine. But most folks I know are buying these to run photoshop and illustrator, then claiming that a PC simply would not do. My POS laptop runs these programs fine, and my $750 new PC box runs them like lightning.
The working hypothesis described is that one's IQ is determined by the number of deleterious mutations out of perhaps 10,000 possible ones that would have an effect on IQ. So high IQ is a result of a relative lack of negative mutations rather than the presence of positive mutations. This reminds me of the Anna Karenina principle that success is often the result of avoiding all the numerous different ways to fail, named after the opening of the novel: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

This theory has a certain appeal. But I wonder how it affects my own personal conclusion (as someone with no background in cognitive science) that the variation in how people think is grossly underestimated—there are people who think exclusively in words, others who think exclusively in pictures. Based on the theory, perhaps these mental variations are influenced by the particular combination of IQ-related mutations, with the brain arriving at the particular way of thinking that is least affected by deleterious mutations.

There was the IMAPS (separate port, ssl negotiation first) vs. IMAP + STARTTLS.

I'm also relatively ok with "only run imap (with tls) over a vpn, with the vpn having an endpoint on a network very close to the imap server, or on the imap server". Not really viable for SMTP inter-domain.

I wish Free S/WAN and the idea opportunistic encryption for IPSec hadn't failed to get OE widely deployed at the IP layer. Seeing who connects where, sizes of data flows back and forth, etc. would also leak information to a global passive observer, of course, but a lot less, and padding/cover traffic would be viable.
Life extension is not forever. Eventually, temperature, mass, kinetic energy, lack of sustenance, or chemical reactions will catch up to you in the form of accidental death.
I think it's a fair point, judging by appearances may be instinctual if not conscious. The current git website (http://git-scm.com/) looks the way it does because of an effort to replace the old one (http://web.archive.org/web/20120101013850/http://git-scm.com... and https://github.com/blog/1125-new-git-homepage).
It will, in theory. In the past I would have been ridered or surcharged into oblivion had I applied for individual coverage. Expanding the pool, implementing some checks on costs, and properly operating an exchange would enable coverage for my condition and prevent me from being surcharged more than 25%? when compared with typical healthy person coverage.

That said, we're in an interesting part of the law's implementation. If you live in one of the 26-33(?) states who have currently declined to operate all or part of their own exchange (exchanges in these cases will be operated by the federal government) your state also lost some of the federal funding that was intended for use in spreading awareness and helping people to "navigate" the sign-up and purchasing process of the exchange. The worry thereafter is that if not enough people enroll through the exchanges they may not have enough leverage to keep costs down.

Add to this the idea that some state governments are actively dragging their feet with the implementation of anything exchange related (enrollment starts in October and my state has next to no information out there on the process yet) and we get the potential for messiness.

In my case, I still dream of single payer.

I realize this question is in jest, but it may not be a bad idea. I could envision a Kickstarter fund for individuals to fund research projects to help scientists who can use the help. Granted that may not lead to a cure, but it might help. In fact I'd rather do that than the usual marketing driven thing of wearing a ribbon. I also think this would make funding research a bit less abstract.
I believe the reason he is advocating for formal documents is that it's a more effective way to disseminate and reinforce culture, standards, and vision once a company gets larger than a certain size.

There are a few nice features of writing vs. talking in person. First, it makes it less likely two people will take what you said differently. Second, it immediately creates a shared vocabulary. Third, it creates an artifact that can both be revisited and shared with new folks entering the company. Fourth, everyone knows everyone else knows. Even if what you're saying is totally innocuous, if you tell Person A but Person B finds out you told Person A before you can tell Person B yourself (maybe they were out sick that day, whatever), you run the risk of people seeing an "inner circle" and an "outer circle." "Knowing first" can become a kind of very counterproductive gold star.

I think those are more like the reasons he was advocating for writing rather than some obsession about process per se.
I didn't think padding was inherited?

The reason I chose the first example over the second is that, if you only ever specify padding-bottom for example, what are the default values for the other unspecified padding properties? This is why we have the CSS reset technique and normalize.css (more hackery).

I would make it mandatory that you declare all four values for the padding rule to remove any ambiguity. That would also mean eliminating shortcuts like

padding: 5px 10px 15px;

padding: 5px 10px;

I think having shorthand rules just adds to the ambiguity and complexity of CSS, because, as you rightly point out, each of the variations has a subtly different meaning from each other. This is not a good thing (in my opinion :-) especially when you consider how lengthy and complicated stylesheets are nowadays for many websites.

You can provide your own arguments.

Anyway, obviously there are people who think entrepreneurs are taxed too much in Finland. That has nothing to do with my point, though.
Interestingly, in British Columbia a self-employed individual earning $100,000 with no deductions pays:

$6,721 BC income tax
$4,712 CPP (government pension plan payroll tax)
$16,844 federal income tax
-------
$28,278 (28%)

Sounds like Canada is the low-tax paradise so many US entrepreneurs claim to be looking for.
I've seen similar results in terms of no major loss of alertness and no fogginess, but I definitely get frazzled nerves, mild headaches, etc, when I stop drinking tea/coffee/etc.

The problem for me is on the other end. After spending more than a year off, going /back/ to drinking caffeinated drinks caused me far worse issues - complete insomnia, with the accompanying issues related to lack of sleep. My mind simply doesn't shut down at night if I regularly have 1-2 caffeinated drinks a day for the span of a week.

So while breaking myself isn't too bad, going back to drinking caffeine in any regular quantity is TOUGH, and not something I care to try again (after three trys).
the amount of money and lack of tangible immediate results would make this untenable. This is way outside the scope of normal crowd funding. This is why large companies with deep pockets and wealthy philanthropic concerns exist.
Come on. Russia Today is well acknowledged to be a media arm of the Kremlin. Just because this article preaches to the choir doesn't mean we should be promoting this as a legitimate journalistic source. This sort of stuff isn't new and doesn't really belong on HN anyway.
