"I too oppose FSF's mission to value our craft at $0.00/hour."

Eliminating the revenue from selling the same work multiple times is probable consequence of the FSF's mission. It is uncharitable to say that it is the FSF's mission. It is also false that this implies an hourly rate of $0.00 - there is a huge amount of programming work for which the first copy is the only copy, and that can be sold just as readily as ever in a world using even the strictest AGPL for everything. And that's not even considering donations, threshold pledge systems, &c.
Yeah, it seems actually a good sign to the ruby community.

You are right; I've worked out the "accumulating savings" part reasonably well, but the "building wealth" is still eluding me.

Stock market index funds seemed to be a good answer in the past. By owning them, you share in the economic growth and income of your country (or another country or set of countries) as a whole. Although, the spectre of Japanese-style stagflation for most of the West makes this less appealing at the moment (although even with the flat growth of the past 13 years, there are still dividend returns.)

Property is popular because everyone has to live somewhere, the old "buy land, they don't make it any more" proverb, and the funemplyoment nature of buying, improving, renting, and selling property.
Huh. I was pretty sure this was one question everyone could understand was off-topic, but I guess I was wrong.

With connected devices, the line in the sand is fading extremely quickly.

Your car is a platform and a place where you are a captive audience for advertisers. Your movements and habits are valuable to any entity that can sell you something or has a financial stake in your behavior (auto insurance company).

This New Years Eve I watched a montage of the ball dropping in New York City's Time Square, from 1976 to the present. Time Square, from the beginning was a place defined by commerce, advertising, and media, yet it was quaint in a way. The buildings were slathered in neon; billboards were brightly lit. You could see the progression even from there though. When the montage ended in 2013 the TV screen was covered with media and even the crowds themselves where plastered with blue foam Nivea top hats and branded clothing, carefully doled out to those located in "in-camera" zones. Wherever we are, wherever we look, whatever we hear, they want to get closer and they must. As long as money incents this, they always must.

Not saying it's good or bad, it just is. If we don't like being products so much (in the aggregate), then we have to decide this together and craft protections into law. If we don't care so much, then we know where this is going.

No place for comments on the post, so I'll reply here.

I think the definition of wealth that is quoted at the top, and the one I normally use, is different from the one you are using (at least at some points).

As far as I understand the definition, (material) wealth refers to the physical things that you can own or enjoy that are good and useful. So that includes cars, houses, clothes etc. But not things are purely money generating things (like stocks and shares). A house is a good and useful thing in its own right because you can live in it. Stocks and shares, and money itself, are not (apart from the sheer pleasure of seeing a large number on your bank account).

You might also include 'things' that are not quite in the same category as physical possessions, but are things that can be enjoyed - like holidays and gym membership.

In that sense, money and wealth are almost opposites - you have to give up money to get wealth. At the extremes:

You can have millions in the bank and have no wealth - if you refuse to spend it, you'll die of starvation in cold, broken down house; and you can also have no money but plenty of wealth if, for example, you are the owner of a large, entirely self-sufficient farm, with servants etc. who are all paid via the produce of the land and live in buildings you own. Neither are very likely in our economy.

It seems you are mixing into that definition of wealth the ability to get money/wealth. I'd agree that is a form of wealth (in that you would say that person is in an enviable position), but, like money, it is more "potential material wealth" and not really physical/material wealth itself. And the ability to be happy with little material wealth is the best form of wealth, but, by definition, not a part of material wealth itself.

No one's complaining about the lack of cat photos and memegenerator links on Hacker News, but here we are again decrying Stack Overflow trying to keep its signal to noise ratio high.

The historical lock is an appeasement for those who like to binge on candy all day long and not realise a site built on 90% candy is no place for quality.

You're laying bets all over the place. How about putting forth a cogent argument why these type of questions need to reside on Stack Overflow and not on reddit or Hacker News?

> On another note, it was very clear checking off do not track in the vehicle. The only reason they say they want to track is for data like the exec gives the example for, traffic analysis etc. not like daily tracking.

That reminds me of how phone calls to most companies are recorded nowadays.

"This call may be recorded for quality control purposes."

No one thinks twice about that but, while the "official" reason for recording it might be "for quality control purposes", that doesn't mean they can't or won't use it for any purpose they want.

Those calls are being recorded to cover their ass in case of disagreement or dispute.
Twitter’s search sucks. That’s why Algolia re-built it (better) from scratch.
In the U.S. a number of sports developed first at the college level. American Football, in particular, was developed and popularized by colleges (particularly the Ivy League schools, and particularly by Yale). Collegiate football remained more popular than professional football well into the early 20th century.
There is a vast difference between number of likes and actual people talking about product(which matters) . In most cases followers on twitters and likes on facebook are some random user profile which can't correlate with your industry specific product and large number of such profiles look fake. I won't recommend concentrating on likes and followers but it's the engagement which actually matters .

Ideal situation for growing your money, imho: using your expertise, try and figure out some kind of investment that looks very risky to people who don't have your expertise, but isn't risky to you because you know the market better than most people. Invest in that, managing the risk sensibly, and you should be able to grow your money.

If you don't have any such areas of expertise, then the best thing you can do with your money is use it to learn - gain one or more or many of these areas of expertise.
Driving scales horribly. That's its first problem. If there are a few cars on the road, it's safe at reasonable speeds. At congestion, it becomes unsafe, slow, and miserable.

It's also a leaky abstraction. It's surprisingly safe for what it is-- humans moving at speeds no land animal, under its own power, can. The risk of death on the highway is about 0.5 micromorts per hour. That makes it safer than skydiving or scuba diving, and comparable to marathon running. Ultimately, those aren't bad odds. (By the way, running marathons is safer than a sedentary lifestyle by far. I'm doing a half-triathlon in October with no qualms about the risk.)

The real issue isn't speed (although that's a part of it) but complexity. Accidents don't usually happen when one thing goes wrong but when several things go wrong together. That's why they're more common on low-speed roads and in urban settings (where more random shit can pierce the abstraction of driving) than on the highway. Speed does mean, however, that the accidents that do occur will be a lot worse. Speeding on low-speed roads is actually a lot worse than on the highway. If you hit a pedestrian at 40 in a 25 zone, you'll probably kill him.
The problem I had when I wanted to read a somewhat in-depth tutorial on Linux / the Linux terminal (one or both), is that the tutorial said that it assumed that you were a sysadmin. What? I couldn't just be a regular user who has none of the experience and few of the needs of a sysadmin? No wonder Linux has a reputation for being needlessly impenetrable.

(I don't recall the exact tutorial or if it is representable of such tutorials in general.)

From the original petition:

Akamai holds a patent claiming a method involving redirecting requests for Internet content and selecting optimal servers. The Federal Circuit acknowledged that neither Limelight nor customers using Limelight’s service directly infringe Akamai’s patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) because no one performs all the steps of the patented method. App. 6a, 30a. The Federal Circuit nevertheless held that Limelight could be liable, under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b), for inducing infringement if (1) it knew of Akamai’s patent; (2) it performed all but one of the steps of the method; (3) it induced its customers to perform the final step of the claimed method; and (4) the customers performed that step. App. 30a. The question presented is:

Whether the Federal Circuit erred in holding that a defendant may be held liable for inducing patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) even though no one has committed direct infringement under § 271(a).
It's some fishy stuff. But reading that book was also the first time that I realized I could have income besides a paycheck from a job; I remember the book fondly, even if its specific advice (if you can call it "specific") is questionable.
Open-source hardware and software are analogous in this sense: pre-built hardware is like pre-built software. You can only truly trust it if you built it yourself. However, unlike pre-built software, often you can visually determine if high-order modifications have been made, e.g. additional components, re-routed traces, etc.

You can't really trust silicon, and this leads to a larger point about much of what has been called open-source hardware: many of the open-source boards out there which are really popular are little more than reference designs translated from a datasheet to a schematic capture program for a closed-source blob of silicon. However, this point doesn't escape many people in "the movement," the problem has just been that the technology that meets the users' expectation of performance and capability is out of their financial reach to duplicate. So, the users settle for "re-create" when they can, rather than "trust at all levels". In the majority of cases, absolute trust is not required, because a breech of that trust can result in practically nothing.

Just finished game #3, died 83 times (wasn't too hard after playing Super Meat Boy :)). Some ideas: add two more controls for increasing vertical and horizontal velocity (i.e. holding "shift" will make to box go faster and jump farther, and holding jump longer will make it jump higher. And then add more levels that exploit those controls!
Off-topic, but something I learned...

I thought surely you meant the "Duracell Bunny", however the Energizer Bunny does indeed exist, and apparently although it's the later of the two, Energizer successfully registered the battery-powered bunny trademark in the US and Canada[1].

Here in the UK I'd say the Duracell bunny is the first to most peoples' minds.

Yes, yes, it's Friday!

That's an unfortunate generalization. You can rebase all you want as long as you didn't make your private branch public. (and even then some communication with the other people makes it pullable: tell them to first git reset --hard xxxxx)

We use this more othen then not here, and never have problems. It's a great way to work on a dedicated feature while still getting features from others, yet doesn't suffer from sometimes hard to read history. Does this mean rebase is king and merge isn't? No. Is it the other way around then? Also no. Both are fine if you know how to use them.

It won't be long until the Feds have technology that grabs metadata from the tech in your car as you cruise down the road. I suspect their definition of "metadata" will be broad enough to include things like speed, rate of acceleration, latitude/longitude (if car is equipped with GPS, of course), etc. Seems crazy, except that most of us probably thought the idea of government backdoors in Google, Facebook, etc. to be "crazy" until very recently.

Oh god! From the enterprise code I've seen, American large companies must be hotbeds of communism!

And now that I think about it, enterprise systems may be fully realized soviet states. There are long queues for often meager returns, there are a large number of factories that produce mysterious junk, security policies are both incomprehensible and harsh, and to get anything done, you have to know somebody.

Also, if you think them knowing your location like this is scary, wait until we have self-driving cars, that will have built-in kill switches in them or some kind of remote control, you know, for "updates".

I don't get that from the message though. To me it seems like they do a len() on the input box before it would ever be hashed or stored or anything like that on the server.
Some programmers prefer to intermingle functional code with imperative code, while others do not: they believe in the separation of Church and state.
Until you've figured out what to do with it, just buy shares VTI. Vanguard Total Stock Market. Or get the admiral version if you're in the US. Essentially it's a tiny fraction of ownership of all publicly traded companies. As long as the economy doesn't go completely down the drain it's a very good place for your money. It's not the optimal place for your money, of course, but compared to sticking your money in a checking or savings account it's a no-brainer.

Figuring out what to do with your money isn't easy. So until you've got a good plan, go with a sensible default. That's VTI. Every day you procrastinate on this you're simply burning money.
Every little bit counts
It really depends on your goals and other resources.

Build your network:
-Spend some of the cash inviting people out to lunch.
-Go to conferences, if possible giving talks

Get skills:
-Formal education
-Workshops
-Autodidacting, take time off work

Buy assets:
-real estate
-index funds
-angel investing
-bootstrapping

There are also intangible assets. e.g. Some people give to charity to get into the right networks.

Being able to afford time off work to build an open-source project, having the money to pay people to do some of the work (graphic design, documentation): you can build a high-value consultancy this way.

Facebook style ads CAN convert in a tight window, the problem is people are looking in the wrong place for them. Nobody checks out their timeline, sees a coke ad and immediately clicks to buy. Those ads don't "convert".

What does happen is the cumulative effect of those ads put your brand (coke) top of mind. Later when somebody is searching for "snacks" on google and paid search ad comes up, that person is more likely to chose Coke than RC Cola.

You need to look at effect your "brand" advertising is having on your paid search conversion rates. The industry is trying to solve this with "attribution" schemes ie figure out which ads every converted person has seen. (shameless-plug) But my company, Optimine has a much cooler and simpler approach using incremental modeling.

Here is a white paper that I think does a decent job of explaining.

Well observed.
I agree, but I also understand why it happens. For a lot of people the only thing better then paying what something is worth is paying nothing for something of worth. That you paid a value for a product doesn't mean you don't want to pay less money for that purchase.

Everybody complains about airlines cutting legroom, but no one seems willing to stop buying the airline ticket that comes to the top when you click 'sort by price, lowest to highest.

People say they value things--privacy, comfort, freedom, health, etc.--one way, then they act in a way that shows they value money more. It's enough to make you stop believing what people tell you and instead just looking at what they do.

Or maybe I'm just old and cynical.

I've been wondering the same thing about Snapchat. Acknowledging a security risk publicly and then not addressing it sounds like negligent conduct. Then again, I'm not a lawyer, and I'd guess if there was money to be made in a class action lawsuit someone would have started those wheels turning already. It does raise a concerning proposition: if any of us can be held liable for "leaving the windows open", who gets to decide when the windows are left open or not? Having to launch each and every app with a whole slew of security features before opening it to the public could end up stifling innovation.
Iron Man (2008) shows that Iron Man boots with the Mozilla JavaScript documentation. It seems to favor RegExp. Maybe that was shoddy movie research, maybe we should be glad that Iron Man does not run on W3Schools tutorials, maybe Jeff Atwood is right when he said: any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.
Maybe this post exists only to convince us that there actually are Ruby devs using GoDaddy. Never underestimate the value of counter-intel!
If you're a naïve boogerbrain, they don't get paid anything. Then why do they wear expensive clothes and drive sports cars? They get plenty of 'in kind' gifts and privileges. Colleges are investigated all the time for outright bribing promising students.
I feel the same with Apple's Safari. If you're making a browser and its platform specific, the internet would be a better place if you'd put it out to pasture.
No, it doesn't. Your ability inspect, improve, and extend the BSD licensed code is not affected by the release of the closed derivative, and you had no ability to do that to the closed derivative before it was created and released, so there is no meaningful sense in which that release restricts an ability you had without it. There is a huge difference between failing to give you a new ability which you don't have prior to the release and restricting an ability.
This looks familiar... :D
"You have to contribute back public changes."

Even that isn't strictly true - you only have to contribute forward public changes. Of course, since your users have the ability to share things, and since your changes are probably "out there" you might as well contribute them back at that point and doing so usually eases development.
This is very well said and relevant in the context of our fascination with the "Net Worth" of wealthy individuals who often happen to be in technology. Gates, Zuckerberg, Ellison etc. own property/assets that could potentially be sold for billions but are different from those actual amounts in cash.

What particularly comes to mind was when Kevin Rose was on the cover of [was it Newsweek? Time?] proclaiming that Digg was worth $60 million or something. He had to state at least once that he did not actually have $60 million in cash on hand.
