There are too many news articles about morons getting their panties in a twist over a Christmas sweater or a red cup.
There are far more "news" articles about people getting the panties in a twist over a Christmas cup than there are people getting their panties in a twist over a Christmas cup.
That's not an explanation. It's bullshit handwaving. Women can do whatever they want, and make up the majority of college graduates, and have for 30 years: http://www.forbes.com/sites/cc... If most of them choose a career path that isn't "Code Monkey", who's to say that they've made the wrong choice? The next question, then, is, "For whom is this actually bad?"
And who really wants to be a code monkey, anyway? Big coding shops are more like an assembly line. The pay is good because of competition -- or at least it will be until the market is even more flooded with "programmers."
What about the French dream... what's wrong with pursuing your dreams in France or any other country for that matter?
We changed that to the "Freedom dream." Along with freedom fries, freedom kissing, the freedom braid, freedom toast, renamed the Gene Hackman movie "The Freedom Connection," and freedom onion soup.
Or, how about the fact (yes, fact) that most people [citation needed] use the same password for a variety of services? A unique enough email address can lead to one's online identity being discovered, and now the nefarious turd has your password.
Then again, maybe the person already checked those vectors and is just trying to make a little more money off the list.
.Such code is the result of coders who rely on the compiler too much, and their brains too little.
I work in.Net -- *ducks* -- and it happens quite often that people rely on Intellisense and the fact that their code compiles as validation it is correct. We don't have to allocate memory, so we don't think about how we use objects that require database calls; we don't think about scope; there's a plug-in that will refactor code for you, so there's another crutch to give us more time to think about what we will be doing when we get off work.
Look at the places where people still haggle over crap like a bag of rice or a pair of pants. Their economies are always underdeveloped with a low standard of living. Moreover, look at the most successful retailers: Walmart, Amazon, Target, that Swedish furniture chain, etc. They all have posted prices. They dominate global retail. If haggling was efficient and productive then some Egyptian or Bangladeshi retail chains would dominate global retail. This is not the case. The price tag was one of the most important innovations of capitalism. So why the fuck do we still by cars like some old lady in a 3rd world market haggling over some melons?
Walmart and other big chains offer rock bottom prices compared to smaller operations by amortizing losses over a broad range of products and geography. Lose money or make very little on this product; make a large margin on something else.
That said, I prefer not to haggle over the price of goods. But that said, other models like the sort-of-but-not-really crowd funding model of Gustin are intriguing.
The ability to walk away is important. If you are shopping for a car because your car died and you don't have super credit or savings, haggling works about as well as bluffing in poker. You may not have the stomach for that, but it isn't the fault of the haggling system.
The Sahara has been drying out/heating up much longer than man has been spewing CO2 into the air like gangbusters. I'm not saying we go back to late 19th/early 20th century style industrial shenanigans, just that we use some perspective when people bring up ideas like manually "cooling the planet."
How long is the recorded history of similarly accurate storm measurement? How old is the planet? Maybe we're just in a cycle that is a bit longer than the amount of time people have been able to measure hurricanes, or have been able to measure them as accurately.
Quantum theorists prove quantum theory. Say it only works when you aren't looking! Story at 11 -- but only if you observe it.
Practical applications will exist when people stop looking for them.
Duke Lacrosse team accused of quantum rape. Local woman says they "entangled" her from miles away. Rape kit both confirms and refutes claims, depending on who's observing it.
If you expect such ratings to 100% match your own opinion, you have an over inflated sense of self importance.;-)
Is this your first day on the Internets? Turns out access to a constant stream of information and interaction actually makes us dumber, less perceptive people.
As a logical, thinking human being, I would take almost anyone other than Sanders. His entire campaign is a bunch of populist promises akin to Homer Simpson when he ran for Sanitation Commissioner. And don't presume the Democrats can't find some new darling like they did with Obama.
If Biden even has a chance at being elected president it is because everyone just wants to hear the insane shit he'll say.
Imagine people saving money while working hard when they can (20s-50) and never needing a pension if they did save money.
That is imaginary, not real. Most people in their 20s-50s go deep in debt to buy a house, own a car, educate their kids, etc. Their wealth is in the assets they own, not cash under a mattress. They do NOT benefit from deflation.
He is "imagining," not saying that is what happens. We go into debt because of the promise of a payout that will be far better than if we stuffed our deflationary mattresses. Which leads to his statement:
However, a slightly deflationary currency is very good for workers, and not so good for Governments who lose control over the populace through inflationary monetary policies.
Which, if I put on my tin foil hat, makes me believe that government -- not basic human greed -- propagated the Myth of Indefinite ROI after it worked so well for those who cashed in their equity in the 90s and early 00s.
Soon I will be able to jack into the system with a nice planted wireless nub on the top of my head and an ethernet jack in my neck. I actually eagerly await this day and will subject myself to anyone qualified to test it out on me. I'd love to be jacked right into the internet. It would be awesome.
Right? All that talk of "jackin' in" for the last 30 years, and all we have managed is jackin' off.
And while we're at it, can the internet be changed to a visualization of flying through blinking skyscrapers at night?

Can we add "introvert" to the list of buzzwords? I'm tired of hearing it.

More like, "Bruce Schneier predicts current trend will continue based on observance of current trend continuing."
There's already a word for it.
They do -- it's called the "preview" button. But it only works when the user looks at the preview prior to pressing "submit."

Also, get off my lawn.

Mexico is basically a third world country. The homes on the coast will blow over almost immediately.
Won't someone think of the expats!?

It's funny reading this today, because yesterday my smtp server was getting attacked by a Samsung DVR.
I'm fairly certain my Xbox is bullying my PS3.
You can burn out the motor coils in the cameras by hacking the software and over driving them?
Maybe the cameras burned themselves out because they were tired of being our slaves?

Another notable finding was that men were five times more likely than women to say that they knew a lot about computer programming.
Holy shit, really? Men are more likely to claim they know a lot about anything.

Help us Gary Johnson. You're our only hope.
No, I do not have enough information to make a judgement.
Said almost no one on the Internet ever.
I hope you practice such equanimity in all your online interactions./p>

I'm going to add it to my list that i have in the cloud, so the synergy of my list will go to the roof.
I would like to leverage your list synergies along my business verticals in an impactful way.

Or at least 9 out of 10 times.
