Until I was about 14 years old I always thought craftsman and other words ending in "man" were based of the word "human".

Even the word "woman" has "man" in it. Can we stop pretending these words are sexist? It's even more bigoted to assume sexism based on use of a common term ending in "man". It's border-line insanity and people just use it to push other people around and further a political agenda.
I think more of the business potential of these companies require bad things compared to other companies. Most companies have some sort of core business and the things that in part end up being bad for other are second to that. With DIFM companies those things, at least almost, ends up being the core business.

Lifting an awkward weight or moving around carrying it also brings a much higher risk of injuring your back, compared to lifting weights with proper form.

I can deadlift 220 kgs but have hurt my back moving house a few times, carrying awkward boxes, furniture and appliances up and down staircases and such. It's so important to have the weight close to your hips and not out in front of you--but that's not always possible with an awkwardly shaped weight.

They are unfortunately exceptions and will never reach proportions of US corps due to not having access to "free money" like in the US via VCs (and also crazy tax rules in EU). When you talk to actual German entrepreneurs, many of them say that "first I raised all the money myself and then the bank was willing to lend me a similar amount with the money I raised as a collateral". So either you get money by political connections (which means you will be operating a China-style buddy company and not a competitive one), or you'd have to bootstrap it yourself with slow growth and high probability somebody in a more agile country with a better access to capital will copy your idea and squeeze you out etc.

They can. That's why they require your PIN every N tries (N is configurable by the issuer, I think). All the money spent up to and until N is reached is just lost though, I guess.

This is why I have an RFID-blocking wallet.
IMHO it's pretty much standard. If you're "on call" for another company, even during business hours, that needs to be written in a contract, and you should put a dollar figure on it.

What you're [with kind hopefulness] trying to say:

+ Our company wants to hire an engineer.
+ Our company values craft.

Just say that.

"Craftsman" creates an impression about your company. That impression is a first impression among the talent pool. Whether it is sexist or not is irrelevant, it conveys self-absorbed tone deafness. That's why you're asking.

If the goal is to hire self-absorbed tone deaf staff, it's pitch perfect. To me, and I believe in the idea of craft, the choice of "craftsman" suggests a cluster of negative perceptions of the company:

+ true? == andmap complete_list_of_human_differences tone_deaf?

It also suggests a deprofessionalization of engineering. Engineering is a higher standard than craft. Professional progression is: craftsman -> engineer not the other way round.

Good luck.

"Who knows what this teenager might have done"

So you're going to charge teenagers with crimes based on "what they might have done" now? A bit minority report, don't ya think? This statement standing alone is a huge concern for civil liberties. Arresting someone and charging them for one crime based on your opinion of "what they might have done" seems remarkably heavy handed.

But who knows what this kid is like, perhaps he was a little hellion making this teacher's life a nightmare [was the teacher gay? homophobic? I don't know the back story here] and this was just the straw that broke the camels back? Eventually we all snap when pushed and kids know how to push your buttons better than anyone. Perhaps he needed be kept in check and have his boundaries enforced to reset his notion of what is and isn't acceptable conduct. But equally... a felony for a [hopefully harmless] prank that is common practice in I.T. environments around the world, that's a bit weak.

At least he's only a kid and it'll be sealed on his 18th birthday. However, it'll be attached to his school record and follow him around like a bad smell until he leaves academia. So I guess he'll learn his lesson... all be it a bitter consequence to what amounted to something largely harmless.

Another option, since the guys whose job it is to point this out seem to have taken the morning off, would be to simply charge more.

If somebody is paying several thousand dollars per day for your time, two things will happen. First, they'll be more respectful of your time, partly because it's so damn expensive, and partly because they don't seem you as that kid who does their web stuff, but rather as a professional like themselves who are not to be bothered lightly.

But secondly, you'll find that there is in fact a dollar figure for which you won't really mind being woken up at 10:30 am and asked to do a few hours' work.

> Also, cars are basically software at this point. Especially tesla.

No, not at all. In the case of cars with ICE the biggest challenge is still mechanical -- mostly related to environmental protection standards. To keep a BMW M5 Euro5 compliant you have to go a _long_ way. If you mean that you use software to design these cars then well, yes, I can agree. But the onboard software is still a very-very small part of the challenge.

(Ask somebody who's actually in the car industry, especially if he's in the higher-end market, like someone from AMG, BMW M, etc.; just the cooling of these things is an art.)

In the case of Tesla, things are slightly different, but not that much. The big thing here is the reliable electric motor, which -- also according to Tesla marketing -- is simple compared to an ICE, but in reality it's a big challenge to manufacture because high-powered electric motors need to be manufactured with incredible precision, otherwise they break quickyl and often.

He's off by a magnitude. E10 has about 97% energy density as 100% gasoline (http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/fuel_comparison_chart.pdf)

A 42% loss would be huge. A 30 MPG Toyota would get about 18-19 MPG.

That assumes support exists at all (many people need IE8) or isn't broken in some way which affects your design (Mobile WebKit is the worst offender here but I've had to file bug reports for every major browser on this).

I want to just start using flex box everywhere, too, but we're just at the point where that's becoming realistic. I won't fault anyone for waiting if they have more representation from older browsers. The real progress lately has been the push for Microsoft to get IE onto more of an evergreen update schedule so we won't have to keep doing this once XP and IE8 are a bad memory.

MQTT uses a 2PC-like mechanism for exactly-once delivery [1]. The sender sends and the receiver acks as usual. But the message is only delivered once the sender then sends a release message, which the receiver acks. End result: sender can assume receiver distributed the message only once.

I have a slightly different perspective: I grow wheat and beans for human consumption. But growing those crops over and over again leads to lasting disease and eventually terrible yields. Because of that, I also grow corn. Corn rounds out the rotation to provide enough bio-diversity over many years to help with disease problems.

It is possible that switchgrass or hemp would fill the same role just fine, however, they require an entirely different infrastructure to grow, harvest, and deliver. Corn has the advantage of being able to use the exact same tools I already have for growing food for humans. I do not farm in the US and am not able to take advantage of the corn subsidies everyone is always taking about, but despite that, we still end up growing corn at a loss sometimes because it is cheaper than growing nothing at all, which is the only realistic alternative.

I remember the 2006 crop of corn was so large, and the price was so terrible (naturally), that a large amount of corn was just left out to rot. This is what put the pressure on the creation of the 2007 ethanol subsidy program. Compared to letting the crop rot away, corn ethanol is the better option of the two in my mind.

If it was simply a matter of growing corn for ethanol, I think we can agree that other crops are better suited to it. However, the real world is quite a bit more complicated.
One option is to implement the version number as the context root of the app. Then you just leave v1 app running while you code and release v2 app. This allows complete isolation, but may be harder to manage if you have architecture/security changes and want to upgrade v1.

Another approach I have seen is just providing backwards compatibility where it matters or where there are changes. This would be similar to how a library works. You try to limit things that need to do if-def on version number. Usually only 2 versions are maintained simultaneously. v2 still supports the requests of v1, but when v3 is released v1 features are gone.

I am sure there are other methods.

Others have already done some explaining, but I'd like to point out that the 1950s conformism thing has kernels of truth, even large kernels of truth, but you also have to account for the fact that the rebellion of the 1960s itself had to write a mythos of excessive conformity to justify itself. As is often the case, it overstated its case, because in the aggregate, social movements are really bad at restraint or subtlety. You must remember that the 1950s are still the era that gave birth to the 1960s et al, and it's a great deal more complicated than "the kids just rebelled for the first time in the entire history of man for no apparent reason".

Ironically, it is now this very 1960s rebellion that we still live today that is now entering an accelerated and probably inevitable disintegration of its own as it itself becomes an ideology of stultifying conformity. History is not without its ironies.

You can do two things at the same time. Advocate for a better cert solution while advocating for HTTPS everywhere.

The truth is that currently, RIGHT NOW there are dozens of government agencies monitoring HTTP traffic that includes things like Bing searches (!) which millions of people do and do not realize are not private. Browsers need to be designed to aid laymen when things are insecure.

Lastly, I don't know if it is you specifically, xamuel, but there is a history[1] of government agents infiltrating influential organizations and communities in order to slow down movements, change prevailing attitudes, or discredit the members there. I think in cases like this it is important to remember how influential Hacker News is, since it feeds publications that set public perceptions about technology, like Wired and the New York Times.

> Until there's a free, easy, maintainable, and actually existent solution to SSL certs, enforcing HTTPS-only is just downright extortion.

> Referring to solutions that are under construction doesn't cut it. If you're that passionate about it, contribute to the SSL cert solution yourself instead of to the endless calls for HTTPS-only.

So you want a free, easy, and maintainable solution, but you don't want to talk about solutions that are currently under development? What kind of argument is that? It's as if you specifically added that condition to preempt any discussion about Let's Encrypt. Guess what, a lot of us actually are passionate about this solution, so we're actually contributing to that project by supporting EFF and Mozilla.

The call for HTTPS-only does not ring in a vacuum. Context and timing are critical for any plan that might involve a chicken-and-egg problem. But that's not an insurmountable problem. The proposed enforcement will come into effect some time in the future (if ever). So we still have a few months, maybe a couple of years to prepare for it. That's enough time to build a free CA that can disrupt the shit out of the extortionist market.

Opposing a plan for the future just because a prerequisite does not exist right now is gratuitous negativity, especially if you're deliberately ignoring "actually existent" efforts to build that prerequisite.

They are throwing the book at him for a crime that he has admitted to committed (unauthorized access of a computer system). This a crime regardless of "what he may have done." The fact that no one is stopping to say, "Let's rethink this guys," is an indictment the police / prosecutors involved in this case.

This is a bit like charging a child with Breaking & Entering because he snuck into his friend's house through a window to play a prank on him, and the cops "aren't sure what he really did while in the house."

Another interesting invention is described in one of the figures ("DSME's New Technology"):

Freeze Pirates! - DAPS

DSME launched its new pirate alert system 'DSME Anti-Piracy System (DAPS). ... DAPS is a total ship security system for recognizing and eradicating piracy. By using the ship's radar signal, the DAPS is able to analyze image information. This system automatically judges suspected targets based on the analyzed information. If suspected pirate ships approaches [sic], DAPS will warn the target through a high output speaker and sound an alert on the ship. If the pirate comes closer, a sound cannon or water cannon will be used to incapacitate the pirate.

I would argue that the main challenge is actually manufacturing. Building one or a hundred great cars is easy. Building hundreds of thousands great cars with millions of customized variations (like BMW, Audi, etc do.) is the difficult part. Tesla has been behind its promised number of deliveries in 2014 (http://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2015/02/12/ear...). If Tesla wants to be a big player in the automotive industry they really need to keep optimizing their supply chain and manufacturing. The product itself is top-notch, no question about it.
As a classically trained graphic designer, I find the biggest problems to layout is more due to the fact that the display is completely unknown. It can range anywhere from hundreds of pixels in width/height to thousands of width/height in pixels. Not to mention the differences in pixel densities and orientations.

If one were to consider these problems alone, CSS works quite well for what it was designed to do. Most designers I've discussed these problems with have problems more in their thinking than with the tool itself. They mostly try to apply print design thinking to web design, which simply does not work.
