Frankly, i think some people just like to complain about gender issues when there isn't much going on.

In some languages (ex: french), everything defaults to male-centric. Nobody cares or feels offended by it, and females have exactly the same rights as males.

How often do sysadmins actually make the call on what gets bought? For a purchasing dept, they'd probably stop at step 2, get the over-priced product and everyone's happy.

The re-seller is obviously the under-performing part of your exchange, it should be their business to know what they are selling. Most likely it shows the current state of the market - not very many buyers ask these technical questions, hence the experience is not there for the reseller. If you'd want to feel better about it, at least the reseller you've dealt with now has some more knowledge of one of the products they are selling.
Seriously, I'm not in the tinfoil camp. I have perhaps read a few too many Snowden documents, in detail. There are a few things I've see, concerning the use of social media. Things like "can we craft a message to go viral"

I really didn't like the message that linked Snowden to HAARP, for all kinds of reasons. It creates a false link between his documents, and the tinfoil theories surrounding HAARP, (global assassination, etc). And I have indeed seen some fake articles that tried to make precisely that claim. That kind of link would also put Snowden, and those who believe that he did the right thing, into the tinfoil-crazy camp. So it smelled bad. Maybe it's just random gibberish, like a lot of the messages. But it really smelled.

Why GCHQ vs NSA.... the most vile tricks we've learned about come from them. The Neo-COINTELPRO stuff.

> My point is being poor doesn't mean your car never needs a mechanic.

I know poor people who are decent at basic car maintenance (once again, the sorts of things where you get high margins). I also know wealthy people who are car enthusiasts, but they wouldn't want to get their hands dirty, so they'd rather pay someone to do it for them. You're speaking in absolutes when the market relies on relative differences.

This particular point isn't too significant though, since ideally, most poor people wouldn't need to own a car (they would use public transit instead).

> Non sequitur. Plenty of un-outsourceable jobs exist serving people who are not wealthy.

Non sequitur. The goal is to optimize new job creation. The service industry is one of the fastest growing in America, so it makes sense to harness that.

> Where do I speak of dream jobs? I'm just saying it's awfully self-centered to think that the poor exist to serve the wealthy.

And I'm just saying that worrying about whether the poor can have their dream job (where they don't have to serve the wealthy) is something you can worry about when chronic unemployment hasn't been dragging down the economy for the last several years.

Parts of this, especially the democratizing nature of guns as the primary weapon, read similarly to [this essay](http://www.george-orwell.org/You_and_the_Atomic_Bomb/0.html) by George Orwell, "You and the Atomic Bomb".
It's an interesting read, and somewhat prescient.

While no country that possesses atomic bombs has attempted to use them as weapons of repression, drones are surely far more tempting to tyrants with much less collateral damage.
The whole mentality that newcomers to Twitter are at a disadvantage is batshit crazy. I follow newcomers on Twitter all the time. @hashbreaker has been on Twitter for less than a year, has 5000+ followers (all interesting) and follows ten people. Why? Because people want to hear what Dan Bernstein has to say.

Every other day, I get a Twitter alert on my phone that a bunch of people on Twitter are suddenly following some new account. I click on that account and, lo, it's someone I'm probably interested in following. How did that happen? Because a bunch of people were interested in what that person had to say; I didn't even need to know I was interested because Twitter went out of its way to make that happen.

If you want people to listen to you, join conversations. Or, better yet, build or write things and then link to them in conversations. People will follow you if you add value. I don't believe anyone that anyone cares about looks at Twitter profiles to count followers before making that decision.

Also, bot-favoriting things is extremely annoying. Don't.

I've been thinking about this a lot with respect to user generated content and although this is somewhat tangential, it appears that people provide the most positive feedback for the version of truth that most resembles their own version, not some third party, objective viewer.

I had originally thought this was a modern phenomenon, but it turns out it's been going on for a long time.

Take for example Dürer's Rhinoceros: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCrer's_Rhinoceros

His depiction is armor clad and has an extra horn, it looks fanciful, and yet, another artist, Hans Burgkmair, produced a depiction that is basically true to life, yet Dürer's print became famous and duplicated widely, and only one of Burgkmair's prints is extant.

Slightly more anecdotal, for a while my dad collected maps and I bought him an original from the 1700s that depicted California as an island, despite being well mapped since the 16th century. It was something of a fanciful myth and people preferred the "island" maps to display in their homes, while real navigators had accurate maps.

Anyways, what I'm trying to get at is, if you want to measure truthiness, you should do it relative to the observer, with some awareness that it's flexible, assuming you are thinking of this as a way to match content to people. If you just want some certificate of truth, because of the reasons above, it probably won't take hold with the general population (they will dismiss it for not agreeing with their beliefs)

I am sorry to hear you feel like that. To offer a counter perspective: I found the article to be unusually well-balanced. It was sympathetic to both her and the landlord.

Also, I don't know if the author's detailed description (probably of artistic intent) of one homeless person's life impugns on the reputation of all people who are down on their luck and temporarily homeless.

I feel like you are conflating your personal experience with hers. You may very well be morally justified in actions you have taken in your life but it is not clear to me how an article on her is an attack on you or any action you took (say remove carpets) is roughly equivalent to hers (make threats to burn down a building).

> I don't agree that approval voting is a poor choice for political elections.

It is because "approval", unlike relative preference, doesn't have a consistent meaning across different ballots (which is why it isn't a poor choice in open-ballots where it has a defined meaning, like a commitment to opt-in to the result where otherwise there is an option to opt-out.)

> I particularly reject any implication (if present) that plurality should be preferred to it.

Plurality is also a bad choice for most political elections. Or, for that matter, most elections of any kind. But if you are changing from plurality, approval is about the worst change you could make other than ones that could only be deliberately malicious (e.g., modifying plurality to elect the candidate with the lowest number of first place preference votes.)

> Considering just the theoretical benefits and drawbacks in this context, I would agree with a preference for ranked methods. However, when we consider the complexity (and resulting decrease in transparency) I've come to prefer approval.

I personally have no problem with democracy requiring expecting citizens to deal with concepts more complex than approval voting, since, actually, most of the things they are voting on are things more complex than approval voting.
Even if it does mean redeploying the application, i don't see what the problem is. If you're doing continuous delivery, you've already solved the problem of quickly rebuilding and redeploying. If you haven't solved that problem, solve it. It's not actually terrifically difficult.

Yes, according to the article there is a long standing "don't ask, don't tell" policy. But it does say that when they are reported, the city takes serious action. And it sounds like it was a health hazard the way she was living.

The owner seemed to be caught in the middle of two incompatible laws: 1) You can't have that person living there. 2) You can't make that person leave.

I also feel that way, but the fact that I'm having an emotional reaction tells me that the article was probably written to trigger that. So I'm trying to ignore it.

Wait, was that actually one the reasons Dorian was labelled as Satoshi? Because that's true of a huge number of people. Many people who learned on a typewriter (like my parents), or who were taught touch-typing formally by those who were (like my wife) still do this. It's hardly rare enough to be any kind of discriminator.
In fairness, the three games he's currently working on follow that same mold of being super easy to learn and super hard to beat--not a good recipe for warding off addiction!
>If it was cheaper to hire a Chef to cook meals

But my point is that it is indeed cheaper to hire a chef to cook meals -- in some cases, but that doesn't justify making it mandatory.

You're taking, as given, the claim that attended fuel pumping is cheaper -- but that's only true sometimes, just like with the home chef, especially if (as in my ignorant aristocrat example) you factor in opportunity costs, which was the point.

When people insist that attended fuel is cheaper in terms of sticker price ... well, that's dubious, but let's assume, for whatever reason, it is (maybe there are insurance savings?). It still has a higher opportunity cost for several reasons, many of which you just listed.
For any reasonable RDBMS deployment resources PostgreSQL has been faster than MySQL for me. Write-heavy loads are a huge win for it, but even on large reads (formerly its weakness) PostgreSQL has the advantage unless you've got no writes at all on the table. I guess if you've got completely static data MVCC isn't a win, but at that point I'm not sure you need to be using an RDBMS in the first place...

Yeah, we've thought for a long time he's probably involved. Along with other people (he almost definitely didn't write the code); Satoshi likely isn't just one person.

That being said, what's the point of articles like this? We will never know unless Satoshi chooses to reveal himself/themselves and proves it with a pgp key. Which won't happen. Otherwise, it's just idle speculation.
I'm kinda tired of the "cone-of-vision" mechanic and associated visual effect common in modern 2D games. In traditional 2D games, being able to see things that are not visible to the player's avatar is, IMO, a significant part of the charm. Not being restricted to a realistic viewpoint lets you become the larger-than-life hero of cartoons and cheesy action movies that does impossible things like leaping into a room full of bad guys and shooting them all before they have a chance to react, or "sensing" someone behind him and dodging the arrow at the last second. When you make a 2D game that tries to "realistically" limit the player's view, you're getting the downsides of both 2D and 3D games. It says to me, "I really wanted to make an FPS but I don't know how."

No criticism is intended towards OP's game; the "un-stealth game" is a different and interesting idea. I'm just throwing it out there for those dreaming up yet another top-down cone-of-vision stealth shooter to chew on.
I'm not the originator. Was going to create one but did a search first and found this. I truly believe DST serves limited modern purpose. There are benefits, but they are out-weighed at this point by downfalls. Modern culture has a major impact. DST comes at an expense. I think we've reached a point that we don't need to move our clocks around twice a year anymore.
A nice fair seeming but utterly slanted portrayal of the gentrification process. Real life is eccentric. All the polished startups and gadgets in the world won't permanently pave over the fact that focusing on the needy as disheveled and ratty is as insidious as an author can be.

University of Michigan's student business site (registering classes, bills, transcripts, etc.) is closed from 4am - 6am every day and 11pm Saturday - 7:30am Sunday.

I hit this period several times without knowing what was wrong. The warning isn't very obvious.
Although when supplying information to an organisation which has such as poor approach to running its computer systems, you may as well assume you are making it public anyway.
You're right. Or maybe saying "I agree with you" is more pragmatic. Recent case in point - I have an app that fetches and saves a lot of data from and to a server. It has pretty heavy security requirements so I split out user registration and login into a separate server app. The client calls it, gets a token and uses it to access data in another service.

A customer just asked to two-factor authN. I can make that change without affecting any of the business services. Getting it wrong means little more than a short-lived denial of service.

In traditional SOA authN would be wrapped up with authR in a service interface or façade, fronting the monolithic app. Not nearly as extensible or flexible.
As someone who's used PostgreSQL for 15 years and had to evangelize it almost everywhere I've gone that's a bit surreal to hear. Good, very good, but a little surreal. I've found that if you've got Ruby & Perl skills and you've worked on large-ish systems you'll get pigeon-holed as a non-database dev and it's hard to escape that without seriously warping your resume.
> It's not easy for people to just pack up and move. What if you've lived there your whole life? What if your friends and family lived there? What if your job was there?

I lost my job in Canada, and it was prohibitively difficult to find a software job I could sustain myself on in my home city, so I packed up and moved. I moved out of the city I had lived in my whole life. I left my friends and family and landed, alone, in SF. Because the economic landscape forced me to move.

I understand what you are trying to say, but I'm having trouble sympathizing. And, given how many H1Bs get given out every year, I suspect I'm not the only one here who feels that way
"It's hardly rare enough to be any kind of discriminator."

Great question - we verify that the user owns the e-mail address by verifying they have access to it - essentially when we e-mail them a link they have to click to get access to the document on HelloSign. We also log their IP address and browser, it may seem like a low bar but we feel it's inherently more secure than in real life where people fax documents to shared machines and mail items to shared/unsecured addresses. For Google Accounts, we trust Google to verify they own the e-mail address via OpenID.

For our standalone product @ http://www.hellosign.com you can also add a second layer of authentication by using a signer PIN that you can set and send to the signer via a different method (phone call, text message, alternate e-mail address).
Simply put: quickly rebuilding and redeploying is good enough for some applications, but standing up a new version of a component seemlessly is necessary (or at least "sufficiently highly desirable to be worth considering in architecture decisions") in others.
Doesn't the fact that it's minimax mean that it's "unwinnable with sufficiently bad luck" though? I mean if there's a mistake in the AI it's that it assumes that the game is maliciously picking the worst possible tile placements. If it dropped those assumptions, then it would lose if the AI just happened to hit the "worst" placement every time by accident.
