"Men are consistently more arrogant, manipulative and risk-prone than women."

Do you need another reason? Many "leadership" positions rely on arrogance, manipulation, and risk-taking. I'm not saying it's right, but it's definitely reality. Leaders are there for their own well being first and foremost, not that of those under them. Failure to understand this is a failure to understand leadership and management as practiced in real world businesses.

No, that's a false alternative. The third option is to invent something that has not been invented yet-- something neither DRM nor Popcorn Time.

If I had the time to dedicate I would start with the idea that creative works are non-random pieces of unique valuable information. Then I would delve heavily into information theory, byzantine agreement, crypto currencies, and similar areas and see what I could come up with.

But they don't want the federal government to pay for things like that. Money for those kinds of programs ends up concentrated in the high population states.

Moreover, if they implement the program then it's permanent. Their own federal legislators could no longer go to Washington and argue for repeal because they'll have the constituents in their own districts up in arms if they try to cancel a program their constituents are already receiving benefits under. Whereas if the governors refuse the money then the state's federal legislators will have every incentive to fight to have the money stripped from the budget in future years.

The response from Blue State governors should be to refuse federal "Homeland Security" money. Give their own legislators cover to repeal that. I mean really, how many police departments legitimately need more SWAT teams?
Were the brackets added or endorsed by a mod, or are they just overlooking the OP not strictly following the rules?

I think that the policy of sticking strictly to the article title is usually a good one, but being able to contextualize in brackets like this without mods cracking down on it would be an improvement, I think.

Hah! I'm objecting to Musk misleading us. And he is misleading us. Look at many of these comments and you'll see why. Grab the pitchforks and head to NJ!!
I really appreciate you being one of the lone voices here who doesn't just want to heap praise on Musk, and I definitely appreciate a link to a story that isn't one sided. But I have to say that it's not so simple as "Tesla was violating a law that is now going to be enforced", and that therefore the state isn't changing anything and therefore Musk is disingenuous.

Unfortunately, these sorts of laws are often vague and confusing, and boil down a lot to the state's (sometime capricious) choices about what to enforce and how. The governor's ability to direct the state's executive branch is widely and correctly seen as a huge power.

So the law is vague and requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to fill in the detail. In fact, the NJMVC itself granted a permit to Tesla to sell cars in the state (as stated in your article). But now the NJMVC has reviewed that decision at a higher level and has decided it made a mistake

http://mashable.com/2014/03/11/tesla-new-jersey/

If permits are being revoked, that sounds like a change to me.

You can say that a proper interpretation of the law would have always led to that outcome, and that Tesla doesn't have a right to complain that the law is finally being enforced correctly. But that presupposes that laws have unambiguous pre-existing interpretations.

Although the text of the state code isn't changing, it seems clear to me that "the law"--as in the actual regulatory environment experienced by Tesla--is changing in a negative, albeit somewhat predictable manner. Was Musk glib in describing this in his letter? Sure. But I don't think it rises to the point of being disingenuous.
All of these secondary factors (preparations, etc.) can themselves be regarded as "random" or at least unknowable in their extent and their effects. Much like lifetimes of individuals -- having some clear predictability on an individual basis, but in aggregate, well-modeled as random variables.

To be a bit more abstract, just because something is "random" does not mean it cannot be characterized with a distribution, expected life, etc.

The philosophical/mathematical effort at quantifying randomness has been called "The Taming of Chance".
>It sucks, but if you were a legislator in NJ, would you rather Tesla's profit went all out of state to Tesla, or if your citizens could get a crack at some of it and have it circulate around in the local economy for a bit.

I was making a similar point earlier. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if over time we start seeing more laws passed to encourage more of the money citizens of states spend to stay in-state. I think this is going to become a serious concern over time, how are local economies going to thrive if we keep buying stuff online and all the major online companies are somewhere in SV?
The article was rather meandering in its focus, but other programming language projects can certainly learn a great deal from Rust in respect to community management and marketing. Mozilla is not just building a language, it is growing a community. It doesn't matter how well designed your language is – if it doesn't have a strong community or people have no idea it exists, then it will inevitably die and be forgotten.

The banks have most of their as assets as liabilities, and only keep a certain percentage liquid (cash).

Also, the FDIC (and eventually the NCUA) was created out of a need to stabilize the dollar, post Great Depression. It's considered an organization that helps regulate liquidity of the currency, which is essential to being a currency.

Bitcoins on the other hand do not have any such regulation, and exhibit recessionary behavior not unlike gold, which was decoupled from the U.S. dollar about the same time the FDIC was created.

Because bitcoins lack liquidity regulation and have an impending production cap, they will almost never make it as a currency. That's not to say some other cryptocurrency won't solve the problem later.
This is one of the most interesting things I've ever seen.
"censorship: the practice of officially examining books, movies, etc., and suppressing unacceptable parts." -- https://www.google.com/search?q=censorship+definition&oq=cen...

I'd say this is definitely censorship. It's censorship chosen by those who choose to purchase an iPhone. It negatively affects those who have an iPhone and especially those developing for the iPhone. Yes, you can make an argument that one doesn't have to own or develop for the iPhone, but for the developer, that's over 40% (I believe) of the mobile phone market in the US. That's a huge customer base to ignore simply because it's risky to develop iPhone apps due to Apple's censorship.

Also, iPhone apps are generally useless outside of the app store. Sure, someone with enough technical know-how can install them, but for all intents and purposes, they have no value if they're being censored. That is very different from moderating a website. There are billions of websites and only one app store.
Until you come up with that thing, it's the choice we face.
Giving stuff away can be a fabulous way to garner publicity, and people have every right to do it. I'm just saying that if everything is free and always free, art becomes nothing more than a hobby.

The trouble with that is that great art takes a lot of time to produce. If it involves more than one person, which means pretty much any film and most recorded music, then it also costs money or many peoples' time. So if people cannot make a living off it, then they cannot dedicate that time. You will not have any great art.

One irony of all this is that pirates often talk about how they're sticking up for the little guy and sticking it to the big multi-millionaire artists. But that's not how it works. The little guy -- the indy band, the small film studio -- is part of the long tail. When you subtract across the board, the long tail gets hit harder as a percentage of its total income than the big guys.

Edit: realized that the reason the MPAA are the most insane about this is probably because major movies are really big-ticket investments. The risk is a lot larger, and to more people.

To add even more irony, books are among the least pirated things and Kindle is one of the most successful for-pay art markets on the 'net. Yet books cost less to produce than recorded music and much less than movies. Go figure. Even weirder, Kindle uses DRM and yet nobody seems to care.
Since you are already using Django, you could try Django CMS.

Not really. You kind of missed my point. There is no DRM in my iTunes music, but I paid for it. Apple takes ~30% of iTunes though, so it still stinks, but at least the artist gets something. Part of why I use iTunes is that most of the research I see shows that buying music there or through similar classes of digital music services (and movies, etc., I get those there too) sends a greater amount of revenue to the artist than Spotify and other streaming stuff. I also use Kindle, which has DRM but it's apparently fairly easy to strip off as most DRM is. DRM is kind of a red herring.

All I was saying is that creating an app that explicitly works to make piracy as easy as possible and to throw as much pirated content as possible at the user is kind of a dick move. It's doubly a dick move if they end up profiting from it. When money gets involved in piracy I think any grey area that might be there goes away. Now it really is stealing, plain and simple. It's worse than any sketchy lawyered-up studio exec.
I really wasn't aware -- not viscerally, anyway -- of just how bad it is until my wife became a tech executive at a non-tech company. The number of social, professional, and functional barriers that impede women (and most minorities) is staggering once your attention has been called to it, and once you hit the c-suite they're overwhelming.

Most techies are already familiar with the basic dynamic presented in the article -- essentially, "loud, brash and confident" tends to win out over "quiet, humble and competent." There are a lot of soi-disant "leaders" out there who get by on a good haircut and a sociopathic joy in interpersonal corporate politics. You probably can name a few in your company right now!

But women are socially asked to fight political battles with both hands tied behind their backs; not only are they more likely to be more collegial and less aggressive in voicing their opinions, but if they get aggressive they get tarred as troublemakers. Basically, their choices are bob and weave, or just stand there and take the punches.

Studies have shown that more diverse, more collaborative corporate leadership groups tend to come up with more complex, more innovative and more effective decisions than monocultures. Yet most boardrooms still have a stereotype of effective leaders as Jack Welch or Steve Jobs "master of the universe" types, despite abundant evidence that very few alpha-dog leaders are actually good at leadership.

I don't know that I have faith that much will change, especially since "lean in"-style advice is useless and arrogant (unless you have the money to make it happen, which 97% of households don't). Yet my experience at companies (some at the top of the Fortune rankings) that went out of their way to be woman- and minority-friendly has proven to my satisfaction that there's a huge competitive advantage to inclusiveness.
I use a Bash script to set up Arch with Btrfs on LUKS and optionally enable SSH [1]. Assuming you have a base machine running, config management tools are great and quickly start to make sense. If you're starting from scratch with a blank physical machine, I think the answer is still shell scripts and then add on CM afterwards.

I don't know why this got downvoted.

Right now, I see no reason to use Nightcode, Lighttable or any other clojure IDE over raw command line tools. Publishing to the Mac App Store is (as this shows) a difficult but potentially automatable process, and would be a concrete use-case to point to.

...of course, this is from the perspective of someone who doesn't use Clojure IDEs. I just didn't think that the parent deserved to be downvoted.

That's disingenuous. I am well aware that a Kickstarter pledge is not the same thing as a pre-order -- the project might fail, circumstances might change, etc. However, the $35 tier specifies that "You will receive a digital version of the movie within a few days of the movie's theatrical debut". I assume @b3b0p pledged an amount within that tier. Unless that assumption is wrong, the complaint is justified, at least morally and maybe legally.

You know, when we say "X is fast/slow" we usually are basing the comparison on something even remotely related. If we don't do that, the comparison is basically useless.

Of course rails, and almost any other software, is "slow" compared to HPC. I struggle to name two less similar applications. You might as well say that aircraft carriers are slow compared to F16s - well yes, yes they are.

The rest of your comment indicates to me you have no experience with web programming. Of course the cacheable parts are simply read from a disk, or even memory. It's the uncacheable parts that are the problem. And no, it's not just "adding frilly bits to data held in a database".

You seem to have a bad case of "shit's easy syndrome" - the tendency of people who have no idea what they're talking about to assume that everything is easy, and anyone who disagrees must simply be stupid or at least incompetent. Well, if you can build a web framework that's as productive to use as rails but works 100x faster, you will be a millionaire practically overnight. Have at it. Forgive me if I don't hold my breath.
If it was as simple as "preparation" and "profile," then how do any of them get caught? You'd think those protections would be relatively common knowledge, at least among criminals.
I'm willing to bet a large number of XP users stole the OS in the first place and would not be paying Microsoft for support. Not that providing them support would matter anyway.

> the economic transaction involved in acquiring the Tesla would leave nothing to NJ

As I understand the sales will shift completely from local venues to point and click only after the laws in question come into power. The stores that are about to become galleries do employ local folks and a sales ban may imply reductions on sales-related positions, right?
> The public no longer believes politicians, but they all believe Zuckerberg, Page and Musk

People are given a lot of information from a lot of sources nowadays, which means they're better at analysing it and weeding out the bullshit(typically).

Your point assumes we're blindly following what they have to say without analysing it.

I can imagine a lot of people aren't. A lot of people may be annoyed with their rights or privacy taken away (SOPA), or laws being changed when it doesn't benefit them (this). At which point, people complain.

If any tech company tried to push a law that didn't benefit the public in an obvious way, I bet most people wouldn't like it.

You have talked about who is labeled a brogrammer, but can you clarify who is doing the calling? You seem to be saying it is the geeky types themselves. And where are you geographically, roughly?

I am not in Silicon Valley. I spent the first 11 years of my career in the Midwest in the corporate world where you had to dress professionally, didn't get to put up posters in your cube or shoot each other with nerf guns, and sexual harassment would get you instafired. Being a "brogrammer" would not fly there.

For the last couple years I am surrounded by "geek" types and can wear a t-shirt and jeans to work, but I still haven't seen any disdain for "non-geek" types. The only place I hear the term "brogrammer" is here, Twitter and a subset of the media, and it seems primarily by feminists/progressives. So my experience is quite different from yours.

I am emphatically not saying it doesn't exist, I just wonder if it's a "thing" once you get beyond Silicon Valley/Mountain View/San Francisco.

Google has always made the distinction between AOSP and the closed-source suite of apps they license. Nothing about AOSP licensing has changed since the first code was released. Significant and expensive-to-develop enhancements to the Android OS, like ART, got released to AOSP before they were shipped by OEMs.
At least one API it uses has been killed as well.
Having begun using Chef over the last year I've found that my problem has not been so much with chef (a major issue with how it deals with when/whether to restart services aside) itself but with the community cookbooks. This is where the overcomplexity tends to come in in my experience.

I'm not sure you can genuinely have a good provisioning script that treats all of these things as variables in a matrix:

- OS (sometimes including windows as well as linuxes and bsds)

- OS version

- Using system packages or building from source

- Package/source version

- Every single config variable the program/service can have

Every time we use a community cookbook, which includes several hundred plus lines of code to deal with platforms we will never ever deploy to, it ends in tears eventually.

Having a 20 line recipe that works on the Ubuntu LTS we've standardized on is much closer to what FSS can achieve, but even then it does often make simple tasks considerably more difficult.
