No, I am not implying "ultimate" justification, but yes, it goes both ways. Look at the comments in this discussion to view evidence of how people are sympathizing with a rioting mob which destroyed or harmed the businesses, property and person of totally innocent third parties.

In the near east there is a similar problem. There is so much violence going on from both sides, that people can sympathize with cruelties from both sides.
I'd agree that your point is also true, and is related to mine: debt and credit are one of the strongest ropes that are being used to bind people into this system, and not carrying around debt helps a lot in being free.

Saving for saving's sake is not enough--I think it helps to divide it into "investing money so that it can 'grow' into more money" and "having enough cash in reserve to provide accounting liquidity in an emergency".

Simply hoarding gems in a mattress, for example, would not be winning strategy.
Normal people didn't rent out their bedrooms overnight before AirBnB came around and now they do. Normal people also didn't drive strangers around for money in their own cars before Lyft and UberX came along and now they do.

You can easily configure different things of IIS/ASP.NET like Port Bindings, App Domains, Config Transforms, SSL Sites, etc. We also use it to bundle and deploy out-of-project artefacts.

One nice feature is that it keeps all your releases and can easily redeploy a previous known working configuration.
Currently, I am the one submitting them to the directories. Though, to help scale I am going to hire carefully selected help. I do not believe mTurk workers would be qualified enough to be able to handle the submission process.
Yep, the same here - I mean, it's ridiculous.

The company has two reasonable choices - either have the time between shifts be at least 9 hours, so the people can eat,sleep and wash; or if they really want a single person to handle closing+opening, and that person is okay with that, then they're welcome to pay for the whole nightshift including the downtime.

There shouldn't be a third option, and in most of the civilized world workers actually have the right to demand that.

> If she dared ask for more stable hours, she feared, she would get fewer work hours over all.

While being in this position sucks, I kind of think that this is a compromise she chose for herself. "I want to work as many hours possible" is obviously going to conflict with "I want to work a stable shift".

Most blogs make bad ecommerce sites, and most ecommerce sites make bad blogs. It's unfortunate but what I'm seeing is - for example, with Zencart, I have to litterally embed Wordpress inside of my Zencart installation. Ugh!

People clearly did. I'm not sure what definition of "normal" you are trying to use here, but it seems likely circular...

> You can't say there's nothing new there.

Nor did I say that there's nothing new there. What I did say is that it has nothing to do with "sharing", each is just a new convenient web/mobile app for fairly normal agent-intermediated rentals (often with little attention to the legalities of the specific industry -- which in several cases of so-called 'sharing economy' companies is the main innovation offered over existing online agent-intermediated rental systems in otherwise similar markets.)

You get a TV that fits your house. But you want a bigger house. Then, the TV seems too small, the house seems bare, and your car is not nice enough for the neighbhorhood. So you get a bigger TV and fancier car.

Now, you have too much stuff in your house, it is too small again! So, you get a bigger house...

AFAIK "chief scientist" title assumes that you, or your team of scientists are doing academic research. And that you publish results of your research.

Taking a title like that, while actually not doing it is a borderline fraud. If I'll get a resume with "scientist" or "researcher" in the title, the first thing I would look at would be published academic papers. If there are none, I will not consider this resume.

Have I fundamentally misunderstood bitcoins? I thought it was a crypto-currency, not a crypto-stock. If it's supposed to be a currency, then judging it in relation to how other currencies behave isn't unusual at all. If it's supposed to be a stock, why does everybody call it a currency?
I'm also really curious about the runtime performance of such a stack.

Is Coverity integrated into the FreeBSD build system? A quick search on FreeBSD.org shows some activity back in 2006 but not much mention of it since. I'd be interested in seeing the results in /usr/src/sys/netinet6 and netipsec. Is there a reason why the scan results require committer access?

I'll set it off with:

Decide who you are.

'I am not talking about taking on an identity such as one outlined by a career. Too many times we allow ourselves to be defined by our careers. This can be so much the case that when someone needs to change careers or retire, they lose their sense of self. This can be extremely destabilizing.

Knowing who the real you is gives you stability in life. If you are a good, honest, strong and ethical person, decide that right now. We are who we decide we are and are nothing else.'
Average happiness sounds absolutely preposterous.
I haven't tested this particular implementation but the performance should not be an issue. On Android all the non-java runtimes basically just use java (dalvik) to load up initially, because they have to. After the initial load java is out of the way unless you are using Android UI controls. This is using OpenGL and SDL so they probably aren't having any performance issues.

> Just another bunch of upper-middle-class white boys who could get into all the right clubs is another part of it.

It's too facile (and clearly somewhat tempting) to argue that race, or old-boy networking, played a part. Most of these people (some of whom I have met) are so driven that the idea of joining a club of rich white guys would seem like torture. Some will argue that they're all Aspies anyway, thus very unlikely to be joiners of anything.

That makes more sense -- the role of blind chance. When I wrote Apple Writer for the Apple II in 1979, at the time I didn't fully appreciate the vacuum in which I was working, and how my program would seem more remarkable than it was, simply by being the only one.

Since I'm having no problems, I'll likely forego updating the BIOS. However, that might not mean much since I think Microsoft distributes Intel microcode updates as part of OS updates. But usually you can remove the specific kb patch if needed.

But yes, I'll be looking forward to the replacement Broadwell. My previous workstation was a Core 2 DUO E8400 which I just replaced with the 4790K.
Someone else might need to have a secure communication channel with his wife. I never read the comment as "I can't communicate securely with my wife", more "My wife is not in the set of people with which anyone can communicate securely" (because secure key management is hard).

Nice article, but when you say "The world of Harry Potter sets up an incredible framework for explaining people to people" I think you actually mean that it sets up a credible framework.
I can share my experience on the other side of the board.

I run a forum hosting platform (forumcrea.com) and we get spammed a lot. Empty forum creation with just links, profile bombing or just mass posting are hard to deal with. We have advanced captcha, clever javascript tricks, manual cleaning, ip banning... However, when you are dealing with human farms or just a smart spammer, it's almost impossible to keep up. Plus it's only a side thing that I run for free entirely, so I don't want to waste time dealing with it. Some people do use the forums for good though.

Concerning this particular problem, my experience is in 98% of the case, they are not going to carry on with their threats. Almost every emails asking for link removals (and that's a lot!) I've received from site owners is when they have hired a SEO company (or run the bots themselves) that has spammed the forums of my platform.

Something piss me off about these people. It's when they then ask YOU to remove their mess. Without any compensation. I usually not respond (I am carrying on cleaning tasks whenever I want and if I want.) or respond with $150 bill. They should have keep the login/password or keep access to the forgotten password email. I don't know why I will do special treatments.

Funny story. I think the only time I've received a link removal requests explaining their were poor victims of negative SEO, it was from the same people that 2 weeks in the past sent me a email explaining their are the ones who have spammed the forums. They think we are stupid or something. I guess they haven't liked the idea of paying for spam cleaning. Shady once, shady forever.
I think Google Now will do the last one for you already (location based reminders). I use it for reminding myself about things when I get to work or home. Just say "Okay google remind me to <thing>" and then there's a location option for when.

I don't own a watch, but I think they probably implement this feature.
Why Can't the United States Build a High-Speed Rail System?
"regulated artificially"
This is a tactic that I've yet been able to counter effectively. It's more about mixing levels of rigor.

Case in point: a tech company releases diversity numbers. A reasonable point is to ask for a breakdown into tech, admin, support, etc. Often in these companies the diversity is shoved into sales and marketing.

But then another commenter will ask about the diversity of the candidates, and speculate that they are identical to the company's hires, and then "prove" that the company's practices are unbiased.

So then you point out that a company is not a blushing maid, that they choose the people they recruit, project an image that influences self-selection, and heavily encourage people to refer their friends. And then you get attacked for demanding too much rigor.

What the argument is really about is whether there is a problem to fix. The diversity numbers clearly indicate that there is. But people who like to believe there is not alternately dig trenches and build walls of rigor to block the debate.
35 here and still lost. Basically lost faith the direction civilization is going. Currently trying a radical shift in 'career' paths; leaving tech & entering organic gardening. Seems to be going well, but I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. Good luck to us all.
Regarding tracking. We had a hickup at work, with a url that triggered an expensive cronjob. It was being hit mysteriously. It turned out to be the new tab page in Chrome or Firefox (I can't remember which one), which was requesting the url routinely. This basically shows that whenever you open your browser a group of sites get requests, whether you have them open or not. Therefore if you have FriendFace say as a most visited site, they'll get a request from you everytime you sit in front of your machine pretty much.
The sad thing is that they might not remember. A new product manager at Yahoo! might be 22 - 24 years old, and that means they were under 10 in 1999. And Yahoo! has undergone a lot of churn over the years and staff turnover. It is entirely possible that much of the history has been lost.

While its clear from the announcement[1] that they do recall they had something called Yahoo! Stores before, I'm wondering if they really remember what worked and what didn't work from their previous version. Sort of all new and all of the issues from previous versions fixed. Or is it just all new look but we didn't do anything about the issues.

> But had you successfully created a startup, you would be able to spend even more time with your kids.

What's the measure of success? Is the measure to generate or exit with enough income to spend more time with my kids? If so, that's pretty rare I think. By "more time", I assume we mean substantially more, as in, not having work a full time job and maintain current lifestyle.

That's the 1 in a million odds I'm talking about. It's not like the lottery where you find out instantly if you win or lose. It can take a decade of extremely hard work and long hours to find out if you've succeeded at that level.

> Furthermore, if you were actually doing something you enjoy that 8-6 time slot, 5 days a week, wouldn't be a waste of time.

I enjoy it greatly. I may enjoy running a start-up that is influencing millions of lives, but maybe not. The grass is often greener. My job has visible impact on hundreds of lives and I have a decent work/life balance.

I think they're missing (what I think was) the point of the list -- I seem to recall this was meant for use over the phone, and the words were selected by machine learning to all sound different. I've always thought this was a massive case of over-engineering -- and also somewhat narrow-sighted. I mean the list starts out with "Aardvark" of all things! ]
> It definitely benefits web in a way, but rising complexity makes for a security nightmare and i wonder how close it brings browsers as a kind of software to limits of sanity and comprehension.

Note that this is much of the idea behind Rust (which is used by this series): browsers are too large and difficult for humans to guard against the presence of vulnerabilities, so we use software (i.e. compilers) to do it. Compilers have a much longer attention span than humans do.

Sandboxing can also achieve this, although at a much more coarse-grained level.
Great catch. Updated.
In college I shared an apartment with some friends. Every few weeks, when somebody was watching a movie it would spontaneously rewind part-way into the movie. It happened infrequently enough that we didn't really investigate until one night when a bunch of people were over. The movie would rewind whenever the lights in the living room were off, and somebody pulled the cord on the ceiling fan to change its speed. It was 100% reproducible, but baffling.

After much investigation, we traced the problem to a Rock Band drum set foot pedal. It has an AC adapter plugged into the wall, and also acts as pressing L on the PS3 controller when it's triggered. Somehow, pulling the cord on the ceiling fan made the foot pedal act like it got kicked, which would rewind the movie playing on the PS3. Unplugging the foot pedal or drum set solved the problem.
I am 27 and going through the same thing, it seems no matter where I work until I can truly setup the structure or foundation for a project I never feel like I am working on something glorious because I think it wasn't put together well or sloppy; I have worked at places where I believe it was put together well so I'm not always putting down code I inherit. The way that I keep sane is I try to stay positive by going to meetups and being with other people who are excited about the more advanced things and have the same type of hunger for purpose. At home I also work on personal projects and explore new things and I would recommend that. I quit my job like you a year after the startup I was with was acquired because they really didn't care about the tech aspect of it and joined a new one but I am not really challenged (even thought they needed to hire a senior software engineer) and try to lose myself in my routine so the day goes by quick. I think what I am going to have to do for purpose is do more open-source projects or build small apps of my own. I would recommend that. Focus on your family too and your non-tech life, remembering how valuable they are in helping you not think of this. There are tons of us like you.
Please read: 'Thinking Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman (Note: the last 1/3 of this book is quite arduous and not really related to your issues...).

'Thinking Fast and Slow' changed the way I think about everything. In fact I need to read it again.

I like you have had perhaps two periods of feeling incredible inadequate since I moved to London 3 years ago. The quarter-life crisis is well recognised if you do a quick search.

One thing is certain: Money != Happiness. Last time I received a pay rise I requested a day off every fortnight. That day I get so much done, it is unbelievable. Just that day makes me happy. My aim is to keep reducing the number of days I spend sitting in offices.

Having a child definitely is a choice.

You "don't choose to have your child" only if the three main things (conceiving, birth and rising up) are forced on against your will; i.e., in cases of rape in a society that doesn't allows neither abortion nor adoption; or in cases of persons that are mentally incapable to decide for themselves (they do sometimes have kids and the ethics of those events are often unpleasant, involving their abuse).

In USA, I'd like to believe that pretty much all parents are raising their children are results of choice - perhaps a reckless choice made long ago by a different version of themselves; perhaps a difficult choice with lots of complications; perhaps an unsure choice with emotional pressure from family&friends - but in the end, still based on their own choice and own responsibility.

I really don't get this. Why do people strive to get richer??

I've chose startup grind instead of super rich Facebook jobs 3 years ago and am still living like a student and see no need to own a lot of things. Am I that "special", to me it seems completely logical to sacrifice short term rewards to be in for the long run, delayed gratification and everything.

Once I've made it, I don't see either, why I would burn myself just to have e.g. $20M instead of $10M. wtf?
