Absolutely correct. This is why such a device should isolate the hardware components used for communication from the main CPU/device, consider the former "hostile" and communicate with them using a simple, safe interface (like USB or serial). Using a throwaway external 3G/LTE adapter (USB) would be even better. This way, a compromised baseband processor or SIM card cannot access the host's memory (using DMA like in current smartphones) and as long as the host uses secure encryption, it can still communicate securely (but of course the device will be detected and identified).

I don't understand why he would make a throwaway for this purpose? This isn't some deep dark secret or confession. Afraid of being labelled as 'pandering to women'? I mean, it's a fairly tame social experiment, not controversial or anything.
Rather than saying that Haskell solves this with the `Either` type, I believe it is more accurate to say that in this case, the return value of `random.choice` would be a "sum type." But the actual type would be dependent on the value passed to `random.choice`.
There are two options:
1. if you reply to a tweet, or start a tweet with a '@', then most of your followers won't see it, unless they follow the replied to handler. so if i tweet a command to @instagram, only @instagram followers among my friends will see it, and there aren't many...
2. there will be cases where you want to engage a conversation around a command you send. for example:

CTRL @robinhoodapp buy $FB for USD100

So you buy FB stock AND you get your friends talking about it. Is it a good buy? a bad move?
The other thing to remember is that most likely less than 1-2% of your whole customer base is currently using high DPI monitors, so all these very high and very real costs are sometimes not possible in ROI, especially for more niche markets. It much like supporting IE6, or maybe IE5 for the 1% that still use it? Would you in a niche market compared to a mainstream app? This will change with time as these monitors become more common but right now the threshold is still very low compared to the costs.
That kind of thing does happen...

I agree, the whole thing sounds a little overcooked.
You mention linkedin. The reason I said SMEs is that things at a small company are less process driven. If you want to intern at linkedin, then you probably have to apply to head office, and probably then intern at head office. But at a small company, if you convince the chief engineer you are in.

I got my start at 14 knocking doors on a local industrial estate. I came across a little company developing java accelerator chips for mobile phones. Later they got bought by arm, and that technology became jazelle, which I guess opened the way for running Android on a little mobile proccessor, but when I was there it was 10 guys in a lab.

The CEO liked my enthusiasm, but I was pretty useless. On my first day, I tripped the power for the building, and on my second I injured myself soldering, and came in crying while they were negotiating with Samsung in the next room. Still got the scars. I hope at least they found me amusing.

The best way to get in somewhere small as an intern would be through your personal network.

Knocking doors is acceptable for children, but I think it would come across as for an adult. If someone you vaguely know asks their boss if you can come intern, they will probably say yes.

I'm assuming, from the rest of this thread, that where you are at is you are in your late teens, and thinking of going to college in 6 months or a year. Being so young is actually a big advantage.

People generally want to help young people. They have an expectation that you won't have much experience, but they will want you to succeed because they would have liked someone to help them when they were young.

If you don't have many software engineers in your network, go to local events, talk to people, and be up front about what you are looking for. If they can't help you, they will direct you to people that can.

Oh, and keep in mind that while at the moment web/apps are the big thing, software and engineering are bigger than that. It might be that in a decade, the big thing will be applying AI to data to help people make decisions. Or you might want to get into computational biology for drug development. Going to school is pretty important for that stuff.
Javvad Malik – How Do We Stop Users Falling Victim To Phishing? (VIDEO)
Jante Law. "Who are you to start your own company? Do you think you're better than an employee?"
The very first thing I did as a teen when I tried the internet in '95 or '96 was to pretend to be a woman in a chatroom (I realise how weird that must sound). That brief experience was a valuable lesson and taught me how not to talk to women.

Still, I'm very much a typical horny male – it often takes no more than about 2 seconds to go from noticing a woman anywhere to mental procreative scenery. For all the feminist talk about the female libido, I doubt women generally experience as strong (or perhaps "swift" is a better word here) urges as many men seem to do. This discongruence is perhaps one of nature's cruelest jokes... The question is how to avoid demonising (all) men without victimising women.

However, before this whole discussion turns into another bitter (anti-)feminist warzone, this particular case has probably at least as much to do with the medium as it has with issues between men and women. As it stands, the (unwalled) internet is generally somewhat of a lost cause since the distance, anonimity and lack of social consequences make it very hard to compel people to do the right thing – at least according to current societal norms.

If you prefer the wild west over the walled gardens of strictly regulated sites (block, ban, ignore, real ID), I'm afraid you better bring a gun to handle the coyotes... Not many seem to be in favour of policies such as Real Name or let alone forms of official identification.
KDE looked like this at the late 90's. Then they added settings for the default font size (or did I just find it by then?), and started improving. Now, with KDE 4, everything scales all the time, there aren't even many bitmaps anymore because they break in any kind of display.

But, yeah, a few applications can't deal with it.
Set a small piece of paid work. Stating that this could lead on to large pieces.

Obviously set some boundaries on this (time, language/ technology) then vet them on there performance.

Here is the thing.

There are many developers out there some good some not so good. What you need to do is find someone who is honest, hard working and is willing to learn.

My general rule is ask them what they have worked on in the past with links and give it a test it. Ask them a couple of easy questions to vet there personality more than code. Then ask them a question to which I hope they dont know the answer.
At this point I want them to say to me "I dont know, but I will find out" it shows to me they have the right attitude and know they are willing to say they dont know all the answers.

This is significant because (a) Santander, HSBC and Nationwide together have about a third of the UK retail banking market, and (b) VocaLink (who own Zapp) is a well-established payments systems provider (it operates the BACS and Faster Payments networks), which means that banks and merchants will be a lot more comfortable signing up to Zapp than to some startup's mobile wallet or payments service.
My wife has a friend who is forty and has never had "luck with men" for long term relationships. I can easily see why now. My wife and her worked together and made a thoughtful post on Craigslist for an invitation to a thanksgiving dinner date, with a picture and lots of personality description. It actually worked - we got 40 applicants and half were decent guys, and 10 were attractive to her in looks and had thoughtful messages. She ended up only contacting one back who aaid, "Hey baby you hot whats up?" or something like that. I've seen this many times now and have no sympathy anymore when they turn out to be assholes.

Yes, but commercial farming is the single largest use of antibiotics. Cutting out that use would significantly improve things. We should continue to address other issues (educational campaigns hammering home the fact that antibiotics do nothing for viruses, and encouraging completion of the full course when you are taking antibiotics).
I complain about recruiters. I also complain about fat girls/gays (note: not comparing gays to fatties) hitting on me, touching me in ways I dislike, not taking no for an answer and cockblocking me when I talk to people I find more attractive.

But I don't adopt the same victimhood that the Jezabel blog post is trying to imply, i.e. I won't favorably quote people making statements like this: "I came away thinking that software engineers have it so much harder than buggy-whip makers do when it comes to that kind of stuff..."

> Vector rendering is still not advanced enough to completely (or even mostly) replace bitmaps.

Wait, what?!? Vector rendering matured before bitmaps were common place. They are faster and use less memory, that's why programmers of the 70's and 80's loved to use them.

Bitmaps are easier. That's the only reason people use them. And only in a world where everybody gets images on the same size and resolution.

Yeah, the latest (undergrad) stats book I read used a simple spam filter as an application example. The downside to this is that the site will give off the impression of 'snooping' and adult/private conversations. A thrid-party app would make this service more arms-lenghth. But I don't know technically if the dating sites would allow you to build a filter/screen app on top of their system?

Top 5 Core Differences Between Bootstrap 3 and Foundation 5
I see that the title has been changed to something that's neither the original title nor the current title of the article itself, but to something more straightforward and unbiased. That's all well and good, but I do wish that the word "Newegg" had been preserved in the title, as I think of this as the "Newegg case"; and I think a lot of others do too. Preserving it would be better for people searching for the discussion in the future.
3 Key Brand Tips
I think you may be conflating a couple of different issues. The wealth of the world being held by a relative few seems to be a problem with our economic system, not the educational system. For example, using monetary wealth as a measure of ones education would imply that Bill Gates has literally a million times better education than I do. You could make arguments, but it seems likely that while he may have started out with certain skills that were better than my own, he also benefitted from some amount of luck and the momentum that seems to be generated by the formation of a corporation that has some initial success.

With regard to getting young people the right training, yes I agree. I don't think the purpose of school should be job training. It should be learning how to learn, how to critically think, and how to develop ones own viewpoint on the world. That being said, a lot of students can greatly benefit from finding an area of interest (that may not be available at school) that inspires them to learn and becomes the catalyst for increased effort towards their education in general.

It sounds like you feel strongly about this topic. I'd encourage you to get involved in fixing this problem. A lot of schools these days are looking for "industry mentors". Especially at the middle school and high school level, you can make a real difference in kids lives. Not only can it allow you to address the problem you brought up, but it is also incredibly rewarding to know you are changing the course of people's lives for the better, even if in very small ways.

Fair enough, in principle. However, I think the OP is saying that there is a difference in the nature and the quantity of the comments such that it crosses the line from mild annoyance to something worse; it's so off-putting that it prevents the women in question from participating in online dating sites. And, since the women are an important component of dating sites, it's probably important to take that into consideration when designing such sites.

If you're happy being a bit more stoical about the problems you've encountered, that's fine. Perhaps some of the women receiving unwanted messages on dating sites could be a bit more stoical too. But it does seem to me that they're being given a bit more to be stoical about, and this is unfair, to some extent (it is perhaps hardly the greatest injustice in the world, but it does seem genuinely unfair).
From a public health perspective, this kind of news story is actually very helpful. The reason is that before H1N1, one of the main reasons for young, healthy people to get the flu vaccine was to protect at-risk populations through herd immunity. That is to say, you wouldn't want to give your grandmother the flu when you went home for the holidays.

With H1N1, there is actual risk of serious illness or death for young, healthy people. Public awareness of this is key in increasing vaccination rates.

Even without H1N1, the US government is pushing flu vaccines hard for everyone [1]. Apart from a few very rare contraindications, pretty much everyone is eligible for a flu vaccine. There are essentially no serious side effects.

So, you should get your flu shot.

1: The government's goal is to have 90% of 18-64 year olds vaccinated for seasonal influenza by 2020 (http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topicsobjectives2020/objec...). We are a long way away from that now, with vaccination rates for the general population around 45% (http://www.cdc.gov/flu/fluvaxview/nifs-estimates-nov2013.htm).

> That isn't true. Mozilla likes the situation. That is why they are pushing Javascript so damn hard: as the only language for the web, as the only language for apps, as the only language your phone can run, as the only language your tablet can run and so on. If Mozilla disliked Javascript why would they create an operating system that forces you to use Javascript? None of the backwards compatibility concerns apply there.

What options does Mozilla or any other individual company have here? I think that if they were truly happy with JavaScript, they wouldn't be putting effort into ASM.js and Rust?

Mozilla isn't really pushing JavaScript as the "only language for the web", but they probably are recognizing the fact that they are unable to kill JavaScript or even provide an alternative because that would require all major browser vendors to co-operate (which is not impossible) and all the users to upgrade their browsers (which seems to be impossible judging by the popularity of old browsers like ie6, ie7).

What comes to Firefox OS, it's perhaps a little awkward choice but they are trying to leverage existing web based technologies. Starting from scratch and introducing a new environment with a new programming language would set them behind in terms of time to market and money required to develop the system.

I haven't seen anyone from Mozilla saying out loud that they love JavaScript and they think it's the way forward.

> It's just politics and a power grab. If all user facing software has to run inside the Javascript sandbox then the people that control that sandbox are given massive power.

While this is not entirely impossible, I think the real reason is that there is a JavaScript legacy and abandoning it would be expensive. And Mozilla has invested years of effort and tons of money in making the "web platform" better.

Your impression of this situation is different from mine, and neither of our opinions really matter. You should probably refrain from pushing your personal views as if they were facts.
