I think it is actually a good thing that lots of people do not want to use bank accounts. It keeps the alternatives afloat for when I ever need them. Furthermore, I welcome alternatives like bitcoin with open arms. We don't want the banking system to have as much power as they have now. They must be made to cave in and become service providers again, instead of some kind of overlords, over other people's money.

That speaks to how bad everybody else was. The first BlackBerry was technologically similar to contemporary PalmOS devices with a GSM module bolted on. Boring. Predictable. But they actually worked.

RIM won by showing up and not being totally incompetent. They lost by being complacent.

Personally I can't stand "whimsical" tutorials to programming. Most of the time the author's attempts at humor just make me cringe. why's Ruby book is probably the worst offender. Couldn't make it past the first chapter.

It might be a good time for you to pick up the dictionary and look up what "deception" or "misleading" means.

> even if [...] you probably still wouldn't have read it.

Wow, so you've read a few words of my writing and you already know me so well, so much better than myself? Well, even if you look those words up in the dictionary, you still probably won't understand what they mean.

(And FYI, no, I would have read it if it didn't look like another of the same login page.)
I see. A few questions though, what app are you currently using do do your typing? Also, what would you envision would be a better tool to fix your problem?

There was no attempt in the article to weight by volume, so his sample of albums is a good test of the claim.
I'd rather pay a well-known, well-understood charge for using the ATM than get charged secretly deeply hidden inside some kind of other fee. The people running these ATM's don't do that for free. How would it be possible that I could use their service for free? When I withdraw cash for free at an ATM, I feel more suspicious and more cheated than when they would charge me 50 cents for drawing 50 dollars or so.
I do suggest although you read the "Practical Vim" book, it has some real scenarios in there.
That's a clever idea! Couldn't Android track the "WiFi available" cells itself when you connect to a WiFi network?
If you really want to learn vim but are worried that the learning curve will impair your productivity for a few weeks at work, why not use it at home for a while on your own projects? I still think total immersion is the fastest way, but if you can't do that, then using it away from real work is better than nothing. I did it by using vim to edit everything, including long form writing and email.
Maybe because most professionals think the costs outweigh the benefits, and because there are no suitable alternatives?

LinkedIn's value also seems to become dearer the higher up you go in organizational hierarchies. And their canny strategies to hook more of the C-suite (e.g. 'Influencer Posts') seem to be working quite well. I see superbly shitty posts like Vivek Wadhwa's "Facebook is Doomed" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6424292) doing great on the 'LinkedIn Today' home page for days [Edit: Just checked. It's been on my home page for 4 days now!]. Thus proving that the mediocrity (which tends to be rise to the top in large organizations) is truly flourishing at the top of LinkedIn's food chain :)
It still has nothing to do with this. If they changed policies it has nothing to do with him.

And his idea of using old food has nothing to do with their policies.

You are combining two unrelated things.
You're mistaken; the Earth is a closed system in the case I describe.
Why is there vim and not emacs? Emacs is far better suited for web development, especially with stuff like web-mode.
Yeah, Janus is very complicated but maximum-awesome is very simple, just a vimrc and some plugins.

You are confusing sell by and use by. Despite what it says, the date on the shelf is almost always sell by.
Sure, I don't doubt that's what they did. But that's not a counterargument to my point, which is that they chose to not once in (I'm guessing) 6+ years set foot outside academia.

Even given unlimited research funding, to not once try working in industry (even during undergrad) betrays a worrying single-mindedness which I'd want to avoid in any technical hire. If all you do is proceed down one path, without ever trying anything else or being a little creative, I probably don't want you on my team.

I fell for this scam a couple of years ago. I was hastily signing up for LinkedIn, and figured that the page was asking me for my LinkedIn credentials again. Lo and behold, it mined all my Gmail data.

It was partially my fault, because I used the same password for my Gmail account as I did for my LinkedIn account. Never again.

I was recently listening to some real Saxon from the dark ages and was struck by how, knowing modern Swedish and English, I could sort of understand it.

The big thing about modern German is the word order, which is what makes machine translation so daunting iirc some Google presentations on the subject.
> You didn't ask for credit. They make money by giving people credit. You wouldn't have made them any money.

In South Africa, banks are desperate for young customers and all of them have no-fee high-interest savings accounts for children, no-fee checking accounts for students, and so on. On university open days and orientation days, all the major banks have a large presence encouraging students to sign up for these. Most customers never switch banks after opening their first account, so it's highly worthwhile for the bank to be attractive to customers who've never interacted with a bank before (especially if they have money to save as children, so are likely middle or upper class, or are attending university, so have future earning potential).

I'm surprised this is not the case in the US (Wells Fargo quite happily gave me a no-fee checking account just after the financial crisis began, when I did an internship in the US -- I assumed the reasons were much the same).
Loss of diversity is bad. Everything else is all right, as long as in the long term there is no loss of diversity.

The trouble is, that at the current state of science and technology we can not engineer and control ecosystems. We can not even model ecosystems. As a result we are breaking things and we even have no idea how badly we are breaking things when we are extracting resources. Like when we are turning diverse ecologies into monocultures, when forests are being turned into these 'beautiful' fields of golden wheat.

It does NOT have to be that way. There is no natural law that says that it is necessary to destroy diversity if one wants to grow food or extract resources. It is just that our technology is very primitive and that's the only way we've been able to do it so far. With right technology one can have it both ways. But we don't have it. Not yet.

And meanwhile, well. Conservation, common sense and minimizing our damage to the ecology is probably a best that we can do...
Sure. But by that logic, why don't we have the SWAT teams perform all traffic stops? I would be willing to bet that more cops are shot during traffic stops than anywhere else.....
You definitely do not want to use Janus right out of the gate, or use a copied ~/.vimrc file. Beginners who do that have no way of knowing where default vim ends and the plugins begin. If you are learning vim I think it's counterproductive to install any plugin unless you know exactly what it does first.

That means incrementally building up your array of useful plugins and not installing them all at once. You want to be very selective about plugins in general anyway, and pay attention to which ones are the most useful to programmers who get a lot done, which will make you want to try them (I'm thinking NERDTree and Ctrl-P here).
> And where does Apple store these pictures? As a massive proprietary lump of data that is illegible to any other software or life form.

Go to ~/Pictures, right click the iPhoto Library, click "Show Package Contents". Suddenly, photos!

I agree with the poster, though. From a purely technical POV, Apple's software is pretty bad. I have been using OS X since 2008, and it's much worse than Linux and Windows when it comes to stability and performance. It regularly uses much more memory than either OS, behaves badly under load, occasionally freezes up when connecting to external devices, takes more time to respond to certain events, is extremely hard to customize etc. iTunes is so bad that I prefer using almost anything else to play my music. Safari is an okay browser at best; it certainly can't compete with either Firefox or Chrome.

I'm able to overlook all these technical issues because OS X is marginally better designed than Windows and Linux, does most of what I need to do without me having to jump through hoops, gives me great battery life, allows be to do an astounding number of basic computing tasks right out of the box[1], and runs all the software I need it to run. The fact that the OS X UI has remained functionally the same for over a decade is also a plus. I use OS X, but very little of Apple's other software. I browse the web using Firefox, listen to music using Clementine, use iTerm as my terminal, Google Docs for documents, Gmail for email, etc.

I would switch to Linux in a heartbeat, but I feel the userland changes far too much far too often. At 23, I'm far too old for that.

Bees can be raised, with a few precautions, even in urban settings. What you really need is an experienced mentor who can help consider things like where to place the hive so it doesn't pose a problem for neighborhood kids (rooftop is good btw), and other precautions, such as not wearing gloves when handling the bees if in an urban environment.
Thanks, glad you liked it!

Yes, it's true that even more could have been shaved off and I did explore some #defines. As I recall, there were also some other changes I could have made to shave off yet more. Ultimately, I decided against them for two main reasons. First, they'd need to occupy lines by themselves which I felt created a bigger gap at the top that ruined the aesthetics somewhat. I wanted something that would look nice and roughly fill the 1.75 aspect ratio of a typical US business card. Secondly, as noted in my reply to matthew-wegner below, I'd noticed the file size that I had achieved.
yes, my point here is not to argue the pros/cons of flat design or rant about the many different weird errors Xcode spews out. there is enough literature out there detailing those.

my topic is merely to highlight that major software coming out from Apple are either buggy or stale.

The government doesn't require a warrant to take your property by taxation or for eminent domain.

The government doesn't require a warrant to prevent people from entering or leaving the country.

The government doesn't require a warrant to block off city streets or do any of a number of things to public property.

The only things that the Constitution requires the government to get a warrant to do are "search and seizure", which are terms with very specific meanings in the Common Law. The NSA somehow argues that intercepting people's traffic isn't a "search" until an analyst actually looks at it, which I think is a ridiculous argument; however, the response isn't "everything you do needs a warrant", but "that's a search, and searches need warrants".
The quality of discussion on HN has fallen so far that we are now using anecdotal evidence to argue that doing a complex multi-joint mechanical movement with heavy weights in a high-rep, high-tempo fashion is not dangerous, and the burden of proof is on dem non-Crossfitters to use large scale studies to prove that it is.

I, too, have written elsewhere in this thread. Specifically, I wrote that these lifts are so complex that Olympic athletes spend years learning and mastering proper form, and go through very strict regimens to ensure their form does not break under heavier loads. There's a reason for that: the human body operates within certain parameters and going outside those parameters in the name of "pushing your limits" can permanently cripple you.

So there is your "large scale study:" look at how Olympic athletes do it, because that's the way to do it safely and without destroying your muscles, joints and internal organs.
you mistake your understanding to be that of the general public as well. it is an opinion piece and the idea is to get common people to realize and think about what you may have "known for years".
How does she know? Maybe while she's out the cats email or even signed up for an account with linkedin? She should install a webcam to double check.
Nor will the vast majority of companies writing software. Hence why PhDs can't get jobs. There are way more of them than companies that actually need their expertise.
She'd go to jail, but it wouldn't be for breaking the gag order. It'd be because she was suddenly prosecuted for one of the other 1,000 illegal things that any CEO does in a given quarter. Just ask the CEO of Qwest

Joe Nacchio was a simple crook. Full stop. Please stop with this meme. His unethical and eventually illegal activity had a long track record. His entire business career and the entire strategy of his Qwest acquisition was, in hindlsight, a giant fraud waiting to happen.

It is shitty public policy to have laws that are designed to be (unavoidably) broken. This puts everyone in the position of being a criminal, at the whim of 'selective enforcement'. This is a fair and valid point. The Qwest saga is a completely gratuitious data-point, in this regards.

Nacchio was convicted of insider trading in the shares of his own company. This means he witheld material information about the business from public SEC filings. That information was the essentially flawed strategy he had been pursuing was ultimately failing.
For the love of God please stop with the anecdotal evidence.
The OS is supposed to use memory. That's what it's for: to be used. Using memory is a feature, not a bug. Let the OS manage memory instead of demanding a lot should be left in an used state.

You also didn't make much effort to argue your points. Consider Safari vs Chrome. Safari has better UI IMO, and Chrome is a fork of Safari's internals. So what's better about Chrome on Mac? I use both regularly. Chrome's adblock works better but it's not obvious what else is better and you didn't tell me.

Life itself may not go according to plan. Not everybody is a civil servant safely working for an otherwise over-indebted local city council. Other people could get fired from their jobs, the company could have packed their bags and moved to China, or their own business could have gone bust, and so on. Whatever happened, in those circumstances, the fact of having money in the bank does not help, because they will just arraign that money too. More often than not, related to what happened in your life, they will just seize the balance. And now you can no longer pay for the rent nor the food. So, you may end up homeless in the streets, unless somebody helps you. That is why I do not save money in the country that I happen to live in. It is much harder to attack a foreign bank account -- how can anybody know it even exists -- than a local bank account. So, I never trust local bank accounts. Whenever things go wrong, that thing will inevitably go wrong too.
When I tried the vintage mode in Sublime Text, I already had some knowledge about vim and its behavior. I find that the vintage mode was restricting me, which exactly the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

> I don't think I could've made it this far by diving in head first.

That's exactly my point! Take it easy and don't go hardcore from the first day. You'll get annoyed right away and you'll go back to Sublime Text in 10 mins.
I too found that a very frustrating book. I was struggling to understand two things rather than one.
Accurate, except it's not hiring managers who are making that miscalculation.

By and large, hiring managers will see a PhD and be like "yay, give them an interview." Its the interview with an engineer where things break apart, because the engineer expects a PhD to be solving things the same way he would despite coming from totally different backgrounds.

(This is born out in the OP's experience, as he got many interviews but few offers.)

For once, hiring managers aren't to blame.
Your examples are just word games. The intent of a warrant is oversight, all of those examples require oversight, some more so than others, but all of them require some sort of accountability.

So that means they followed the path of least resistance when they introduced it, instead of thinking it through. (Or they did think it through and it was the Rothschilds after all.)

In biological evolution, the competition winner is often a more complex organism. Fiat money is more complex than the gold standard, and apparently won. But in the case of the economy, we should keep things simple enough that a large chunk of the population can still understand it. Otherwise, a small number of very specialized people will have such an information advantage that they can, and will be economically forced to, exploit all the others. I'm not saying that fiat money and fractional reserve banking are a problem, but they need to be regulated rather strongly to prevent problems.
I got interested in Vim for both what it offered, and its' reputation. It took a while to get used to but now I can't live without Vim controls; it's just so efficient.

It's gotten to the point where I use a tiling window manager on my Linux distro with all controls Vim style. I have a Firefox add-on to give it Vim controls [1], and I use Vim for basic word processing. I can control almost every part of my OS, excluding Skype, purely through my keyboard with virtually no mouse involvement.

It's all very addicting once you get used to it.

Actually, Z-up coordinate systems can also be called right or left handed depending on which way Y points. :-)

But really, it was just personal preference. Way back when I was learning 3D graphics, I found it easiest to visualize Z as elevation above the XY plane. I'd also used some software that followed that convention (like trueSpace and later 3D Studio Max).

These days, I mainly work with software that tends to favor a Y-up convention by default.
Creating a LinkedIn account was by far the creepiest thing I've ever experienced when signing up.

I signed up using email address A, and when I signed in I saw suggestions for "people you may know", but it included people I had only every corresponded with via email address B (bear with me here, it gets more interesting...). It wasn't even people any of my contacts know. From what I can tell people I had corresponded with using email address B (which incidentally doesn't even have a real name associated with it) had given their password to LinkedIn (probably via 'find people you know' or whatever). It seems that LinkedIn went through my friends' gmail contacts and one or more of my friends had probably annotated me in their contact list with my actual name. LinkedIn then associated my name with email address B. From that LinkedIn combined it with more info from people who gave them their gmail address and password who I'd only ever corresponded with a few times anonymously via my unnamed address (B, which LinkedIn has now linked with my name).

Net result is "people you may know" including people I had only corresponded with anonymously via email address B with full details of their name and place of work etc. What makes it creepy I used email address B when I tried online dating a few years ago. I used email address B to first get to know people before deciding whether to give them more info about me etc. Now LinkedIn has kindly provided me with the full name and place of employment of the women I chatted to via "people you may know" (I recognised their photos from the dating site from a few years ago) and vice versa (yikes! a great way to wind up getting stalked). The only link between me and "people you may know" is that I corresponded with them via an email address not even associated with my LinkedIn account, and none of my friends or contacts is in any way associated with them. If that isn't creepy I don't know what is.
