Which only asserts that these guys have never been intimate with a woman. These things develop and often it is very vague when things should progress or not. When you as male are allowed to drink alcohol from a belly and allowed to kiss the fore head and wrap your arms around the suspect, at which point should you communicate? In a blink the momentum could be lost and all is left will be uncomfortable positions (she laying on the bar, Joe half on top) and awkward silence. He was passionate, she invited him because she did not actively took measures to let him know he is not welcome. It would have taken one word. "Stop". But she, intoxicated as she were, threw all her responsibilities away and expected the male in question to regulate access to her own body.

Which brings me to my final observation: at any point in time women seem to be able to give, not give but also revoke consent. For the latter: even after actions by both parties have taken place.
Like most things in life, the answer is much more complex than that. I decided that having experiences was a better life choice than teetoataling. I don't blame anyone for my decision to drink, it was a conscious choice on my part.

Actually, iOS had support for acting in central mode only in iOS 5 and added support for acting in peripheral mode in iOS 6.
I highly agree that you should definitely research the law before packing your bags and heading for Bangkok to just start bootstrapping.

As hackerboos mentioned, it is illegal to "work" here without a work permit. As I understand it, even with a work permit, you're only allowed to "work" at the place that is specified on your work permit and no where else. If you are caught working outside your permitted working location, you can be deported.

It all sounds very harsh but I assume that this is often the way labor laws for foreigners are written by most countries; the main goal is to protect the local work force from unfair outside competition... that's just how it is.
I agree, and even if you're small I think having more sensible names is probably a better sign of 'maturity'. On my home network I'm moving back to naming new devices and VMs by type and purpose (e.g. server01, raspberry01, htpc01) rather than continuing the naming convention I had.
Nope. We don't do those. It's the real deal. One of the fastest growing consumer properties of all time with huge market opportunity.

I really detest that term. The implication is that if you aren't out there doing something then you should just shut up and not be upset. To me that flies in the face of democracy and public discourse--words and opinions do matter.

If someone who is outraged but doesn't do anything is a 'slacktivist', then what is someone who is both not outraged and not doing anything about it? The implication of 'slacktivist' is that the second person is somehow better--that in order to avoid being a 'slacktivist' you should school yourself into being an always-detached philosopher of suffering, always reasonable, always balanced.
Hey, look who's here! Also, I am more terrified of absolutists like yourself than anything else I've seen in this thread. Period.

Tell me, are you refreshing this thread constantly?
You should only be upgrading every four years, between Long Term Support releases. Non LTS releases are more for Linux developers and power-users.

Upgrading between non LTS releases is not meant to be seamless. To make it so would take a lot of unnecessary effort. There are LTS releases for a reason.

You don't see Microsoft coming out with a new OS every 6 months.
This sort of assumes Manning knew he would get caught, which might have been something he feared but nevertheless hoped to avoid. Another possibility is that he took action with the desire to get kicked out of the military role he was trapped in.

BTW I'm using the male pronoun because all this took place prior to Manning's announcement of changing gender identity. I don't see any logic in extending the new identity backwards in time to before it was adopted, an approach which has made Manning's Wikipedia page much harder to read.
So who here doesn't think that HL3 is going to be SteamOS-exclusive?

Ah, I'm so on the verge of doing this. I quit my programming day job a few weeks ago and really want to make this happen. However... I'm terrified of the SF real estate market when I return. I'm also torn about whether to give up my apartment or find someone to sublet (or AirBnB it?) to have something to return to.

Any advice, from anyone here who knows SF/SV, or has done something like this, about the above, or about what I could do returning to an ungodly housing market, in terms of the time it will take to find something as well as the price, with myself not likely having more than a couple thousand in the bank? And let's say I have ~ $13k now, so maybe I could return with a good enough cushion...
1. Nope I haven't submitted bug reports, I've just used Word instead.

2. Ah, I think you're right about the missing font, I didn't realize that. I'll get back to you if I find another example, there are a million things I've noticed over time that don't render correctly other than fonts. (EDIT: See my other comment.)

3. Actually, I do have smooth scrolling "enabled", but it doesn't have any effect whatsoever (as of version 4.0.0.3).
Two witnesses corroborate her story, and Joe says he refuses to talk about it.
1. You are allowed to do business meetings on a business/tourist visa.

2. You can do business meetings from a co-work office.

Now please tell me how being in a co-work office, working for a company incorporated abroad and not accepting local payments, can get one arrested.
$1000/mo in thailand is living WELL. truly paradise, gorgeous weather, go to nice clubs, best beaches in the world. no comparison with just passing time in a university town in the US.

I've used roman emperors (caligula, augustus, nero, otho, etc.).

Also notable is that of my ISP - they use words ending in “less”, for example: “priceless” is the accounting system, “thankless” the support ticket system and “clueless” the customer login.
I rather doubt it, given that multiple countries in Central Asia have names ending in -stan (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan...). It just menas '-land' in Urdu as far as I recall.
Take a look at sneak's other comment nearby in this thread. Yours are more civil at least, but in the wake of these assault broadcasts there is always a knuckles fight like this.

Everybody has an opinion. By spending hours of your time shooting down every opinion that differs from your own, you are working toward an environment where yours is the lone voice. Silencing dissent, basically.

As I said though, your actions are the most tame of the three I mentioned. In these threads, people who disagree with the "burn him!" mentality end up aflame themselves; victim blamer! rape apologist! silence the victim! asshole! It's all part of the same push against disagreement on this unique, taboo topic.
This will be fixed I am sure - it's just a result of Apple's hit and miss QA. The real problem is updates. When Apple encourages everyone to upgrade to latest iOS and even forbids rolling back to earlier versions - they should really really get the updates right. We've seen this with iPhone 3G/iOS 4 and now we are seeing it again with iPhone 4/4S and iPad 2/3 on iOS7.

I think that's what has the biggest potential to hurt. I personally know couple friends who jumped ship after the iOS 4 update made their iPhone unusable and they've stuck with Android ever after. My iPad 3 was a stellar device until iOS 7 when it became very unpleasant to use. Luckily I was able to roll back to 6.1.x on the day when they were still allowing it. That's unnecessary pain inflicted on users - and people remember that kind of thing for a long time.
If you are scared of a real estate market, then doing a startup is probably not for you.
It's possible to disable this in Word by the way.

Except this is the common case, so it makes sense to have it on by default.
False dichotomy. Not either-or. Both.
um. well. basic anatomy: fingering does imply penetration. and it is clearly sexual assault regardless.

4. Type in the name of the exe

Precise commands were often printed on the label. Having to manually figure out a correct SET BLASTER command was rare but sound cards came with a useful manual to keep you going. No one seemed too bothered by the lack of a GUI. Now people ask me if they should click the left or right mouse button all the time and I have to tell them to single-click hyperlinks and buttons. Heck, some don't even see them until I point them out. Does a GUI really enable them to use a computer more easily or would they more easily adjust to a written language akin to commandeering a dog?
I think this was shot with a DJI S800. The RC link to fly it is usually 2.4GHz. A separate link, often at 5.8GHz, is used to send the camera feed back to the ground to help the pilot or compose the shot, or both.

Perhaps the question 'how do you name your servers?' should be added to tech interviews, the more cutesy the response, the less mature/experienced the interviewee possibly is (i.e. having not been burnt by the obfuscation of such as scheme)?
Funny enough, I have experience working with them and I knew they had no clue what they were doing. How did the government not figure it out? -__-

It's the kind of company that is years behind on programming practices and over-charges in the millions because their clients never have any clue of the difference between good/bad software.

They tend to target markets that have almost no real software servicing it so there is nothing to compare it to (eg. commercial insurance).
I'm pretty sure that every single Humble Bundle has had the largest average donation come from Linux[0].

On some, the total Linux donations even beat the OS X donations, despite having a fraction of the number of users.

[0] Certainly all the ones I've participated in, which is a lot of them.
Yeah I was on the fence about it but I might take the plunge soon. I've read the guides over and over and the only scary part to me is the LCD manipulation and coverglass removal.

Out of curiosity, where did you do your CS grad program, so that you could live on less than 1k a month?
That's a fair question, and the answer is no. Unity was an instant turn-off the minute I upgraded, yes, but pulling down another DE isn't exactly hard.

The whole OS has just never worked out in the long run, and has always felt bloated and sluggish. A myriad of odd patches and poorly implemented automation made even the simplest problem solving a major gripe. I just couldn't stand it.

This is all anecdotal of course, you obviously have a completely different experience.
Why not. There's plenty of more detailed info out there, and I don't claim to be any sort of expert after mere two years, but here's two stereotypical extremes:

Tourist-eyes: beautiful beaches; nice weather; safe; cheap food; laid back, friendly smiling people -- PARADISE!

Live-and-work-there-eyes: rampant bigotry and racism (common to most SE Asia); dishonesty ("losing face" and all, again shared across SEA and not specific to Thailand); nothing ever gets done (the famous wait-for-crisis management aka the reverse side of the laid back culture); encouragement of keeping in line and professional mediocrity; (lack of) quality healthcare; dirt; systemic corruption and mafia; massive drinking in connection with ubiquitous handguns; relationships aka love the farang cash machine; farangs always 2nd class citizens no matter what (land ownership &c) -- BUSINESS OWNER'S HELL!

Now that's just to juxtapose two extremes, neither is "the truth".

When it comes to running a business, beware of that viewpoint #2. Freelancers who just hang out with other freelancers on the beach for a few months don't need to care, of course :) For serious business, Malaysia is much more organized and welcoming.

Hopefully I don't get downvoted for this paradise-shattering post -- I still have many Thai friends and I love the country despite all its problems.
So now Joe is responsible? For her? When did she shift from being a strong independent woman who needs no man to having someone be responsible for her? I thought she was a grown up woman able to make her own choices and stand for her own actions but now she isn't responsible? I know her writing doesn't really lie about the quality of that responsibility (pouring yourself drunk in a work week, que) but she IS responsible for her own actions and everything which is achieved by this blog post is due to her own actions.

Please don't tell me that her not ever able to obtain a job is Joe's fault. Look at what she writes and smears on the Internet for the public view. Unless she goes to work at some feminist induced Ruby startup where this is accepted and even stimulated, this trail of shit smearing will haunt the search engine index pages for years.

You didn't address the actual point of contention here. How is asserting these patents in court, or using them to get an import ban via the ITC, an example of how the patent system is supposed to work? They cow a company with patents over things barely invented (B&N actually argued that they weren't invented at all, at least not by Microsoft) that should have never had a patent issued for them in the first place, and you argue that once they do agree to a patent license they are getting to license totally awesome things?

"Hate the player not the game" is not an excuse when the charge was "Microsoft shaking down Android vendors". The RIAA (and now the porn industry) was also granted the right to sue and recover up to $150,000 per infringement of their copyrighted works. Now, one might complain that the Copyright Act wasn't written in a world where individual songs could constitute an infringement act, nor did Congress intend the higher damages amount to apply to individuals not engaged in a profit-making venture, but...

In any case, you sound reticent to start reading the patents. Here's a good starting place: Barnes and Noble's response to Microsoft's ITC complaint: http://www.groklaw.net/pdf2/MSvB&Nanswer.pdf

Yes, the patents really are terrible.
Doing the emphasis that way is stupid in Hacker News context, I just did it to mirror the now deleted message. Although I do think it deserves really serious emphasis, not because "the site didn't take three and a half years to make" but because they had three and a half years to make the whole system. And the very simplest part of it, the up front registration, is reliably being reported to frequently fail hard. If this rather small and uncomplicated part of the system is badly screwed up, the horrors lurking below....

As for the money, I care because I'm a student of success and failure, ever since a year after I got heavy exposure to a great Version 6 UNIX(TM) system I then learned about Multics, and wondered why the latter failed (in shore, GE sold their computer business to Honeywell).

So I listed the three things that are said to be in tension, "you can have only two" is a common saying, and pointing out that this system did not seem to fail due to two of them, it had lots of time (one reason to sole source it), and quality was sacrificed, so what about the third, did it have enough money?

If it had sufficient money then we've got to look deeper.
We do as well. The NAS is Snorlax, the GPU server is Pikachu, and the workstations are Eevee and Vulpix. I would have named the printer Ditto but apparently IT has a policy on printer names.
I think part of debugging large, complicated software is shipping it to customers and continually releasing updates. There's no way you can catch every bug a user could possibly run into without releasing...
I suggest the honorable way for you to deal with this is to find the wholesale supplier of those 0.12 apples, buy a box, and sell them yourself as a street vendor.
I totally agree with you but folks from the 80s said similar things about computing in the 90s. :) I can only imagine what the folks from the 70s would say. Like another poster said, it's not ALL bloat- there are lots of memory-hungry things going on in the background for user convenience that would have been unacceptable tradeoffs 10-20 years ago (in terms of how much system resources are consumed vs. the utility and convenience provided to the user), but on modern hardware those tradeoffs are less meaningful, and things that might have seemed wasteful 10 years ago become practical to do. I think a lot of it also from more and more graphics resources needed per app (high resolution images for UIs can consume an absurd amount of memory), as well as many apps being much more aggressive about caching stuff in memory for snappier response times (web browsers, or any kind of media-centric application). It seems inevitable that as memory gets cheaper, the average machine has more memory, and as the average memory of the average machine goes up, the perceived cost of memory consumption goes down, leading application (and OS) developers to figure out more and more ways to use all of that memory. It's a vicious circle (or a virtuous one, or both).
Are you sure you can do business meetings on a tourist visa? On a business visa is fine of course as you've declared that your intention is to be there for business, but having a business visa also require you to have a company that is sending you there on business before hand. Plus, I'm not sure how long of a stay you'd normally get with a business visa.

With a tourist visa, I think you're strictly not supposed to perform any business activities. You might be able to pass off your meeting as a "casual chat" if you want to risk it.
And yet where disease did not succeed the gun was willing.
Fair comment, but in this case the situation you describe is fairly accurate as it's a system that for various reasons my team don't have full control of.
Seeing as he didn't turn over the collected documents to a foreign government, and instead sent them to two reputable news organizations, we're all very glad of how accepting you are of what Snowden did.
Capitalism is an ethically bankrupt system which nevertheless manages to produce very good outcomes over the long term. It does this by redirecting human greed, jealousy, ambition, etc towards endeavors which benefit other people. To be clear: there are plenty of problems, and plenty of people being abused. But compare it with feudal economics, where a rent-seeking class had a monopoly on everything and had absolutely no incentive to improve the economic conditions of their subjects. Capitalism is messed up, but it works. It works because it accepts as a fundamental axiom that humans are inherently bad.

Compare this with communism, anarchism, etc. They assume that humans are basically good. Let's just increase everyone's income! Except that isn't sustainable unless it makes economic sense. Negative externalities and all that. There's always going to be people that want power and money and prestige. If you get rid of money, they'll seek those things by turning Russia into a dictatorship. Why should they care about the people starving in the holodomor famine? It's an externality.

Note, of course, that capitalism only works well if you have strong human rights and the rule of law. If either of those fail, you get corruption and slavery. But strong human rights and the rule of law aren't going to change the fact that some (many) people will still be working for $2 a day, simply because they've got no better option. The world sucks, but idealism alone can't fix it.

I don't think I'm explaining my point very well, so let me just state it plainly: it's easy to complain about our f^@!$d up system, but much harder to find a solution that works any better. Before you advocate radical architectural changes, you better be able to prove that your revolution won't eat it's young.

This doesn't mean that we get to sit back and enjoy our lives without guilt. I think every person in the first world has a moral imperative to help people in developing countries. However, we need to be realistic about what works. One great way to improve lives is to provide education, or employment for people who complete higher education. Technology provides a good opportunity in this regard (not the best opportunity, but it's something that we can do, without excuse). There's no reason why a Rwandan in Kigali can't earn first-world wages for doing software development.
Imagine that some mystery virus has taken down or infected several boxes on your network and management want to know exactly what has gone on. In this scenario things are pretty sober and you really don't want to have anyone asking why the computers are named after some characters from a TV show or pretentious Greek myth characters. They won't see the funny side of it (if there is a funny side).

It is therefore much better to have important network machines and kit named in a logical manner, e.g. location-purpose-number.

As for what people have on their own desks, some people might detest whatever your cutesy name scheme is and be irked at having to use a machine called 'jigglypuff' just because they really never liked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They might also not really take to their workstation being impersonal, e.g. 'ldn-gfx-23'. Hence, on the desktop let people have a machine name of their choosing.
> The enterprise loves C# coders. But that’s not necessarily the best language for a startup stack.

Why? It's quite easy, much more powerful, performance is great! Jeffrey Richter in his book "CLR via C#" says it's often more fasten than even compiled C/C++.

Have you heard about Entity Framework and ASP.Net MVC? It's growing like a mad thing, a lotta features, improvements and so on.

Maybe the license price is high? Yep, but with EF you can switch MS SQL database to any other one. And, moreover, you can obtain a license for free on bizspark. And, for sure, you can switch to Mono if you prefer Linux or Mac.

BTW, you comparing "proprietary language C#" to Java, but Java is by Oracle ;)

A 'bromide' is the verbal equivalent of patent medicine, a meaningless nostrum or 'thought-terminating cliché' in the modern vernacular; I think you meant 'broadside', which is literally a ship of war firing her entire main battery at once, or metaphorically a full-throated and fiery verbal attack.

The problem is that anti-sweatshop leftists like you do things like buy clothes made by unionized workers in downtown Los Angeles. That's not pushing Bangladeshi child laborers up a global maximum, it's pulling them down from the local maximum they've already achieved.
I stepped away from naming hosts the year I learned to use Puppet. After being able to create an infrastructure based on code, the idea of naming hosts just seemed pointless.
