People don't read terms of service, they just click yes.
Have you ever read terms of service? The damn things are pages and pages of boring small print.
Part of it is we know that contracts don't work that way.
No judge would, obviously, enforce the click through give up firstborn child thing. So even if someone did read it, they click, knowing it's not enforceable.
but we lack Little Techie programs across the USA.
That's not true. I was at a high school in a relatively poor neighborhood recently, and they had a maker space with a 3d printer and water cutter and all kinds of cool shit that I didn't recognize. There were a bunch of kids that might have otherwise been out slinging dope or gangbanging and they were doing their maker space thing and a bunch of kids were working on some raspberry Pi projects and when these kids graduate they're going to be coming for your job. I'm told that there are programs like this all over the country (or at least in states that value education).
Don't worry about the kids. The current crop of young'ns is more capable, more poised and better educated than any of us were. Despite the fact that they've been failed by the generations before them being unable to make anything like thoughtful decisions about the future, they're getting ready to take over whether you're ready to step aside or not. They're not afraid to put themselves out there and they're not afraid to get their hands dirty.
Dang that's inspiring.
Are your eyes facing slightly up and off the the side? Chin jutting, just a bit?
They will, eventually, wise up and move their operations to a lower cost of living area and save gobs of cash from salaries alone.
If companies were too stupid to realize this 20 years ago, then they're too stupid to realize it now or anytime in the future. VPNs and remote work has been a viable concept for well over a decade now, so companies don't even have the lame excuse of having to set up operations where the "talent" is.
Nothing will change.
But... if someone lives outside one of the major tech cities, he might pick up some unapproved thoughts!!
But "not called out"? I haven't yet met either a programmer or a tester who wouldn't have at least tried out the 'null entry' scenario and flagged it as a problem..
Have you never worked with offshore developers or testers? If it isn't itemized, they won't think to do it.
And thus they need an army of project managers and QA. Because cheaper!
This attitude nicely sums up California's view of everywhere else; punching down and speaking truth to the powerless:
As a tech professional, I would rather eat glass than live in a so called "flyover" state. I have in-demand skills and I have zero desire to live in places that are small minded, lack diversity, and lack interesting and rich culture. The tech sector is chock full of diverse immigrants and unique people who have no desire to live in a conformist mono-chromatic culture. Top tech talents don't want to eat breakfast at the Waffle House.
Yep. And that makes me so sad. I so hate having less competition and low cost of living;)
she claims to have coined it.
Any reference where and when she claimed to have coined it?
As far as I can tell, some press, e.g./., mentions that she has coined it. I'm not aware that she herself claims that, and even if she had coined it, why would she claim that (point it out?)?
Were you also aware that an open source software developer, Theo de Raadt, had already registered the domain name openbsd.org on October 12th, 1995 and created a public source code repo called OpenBSD on October 18th, 1995?
Excuse me, but I'm pretty sure that (despite occasional drama) Theo is not a woman in tech.
He therefore does not count.
Please report to the reeducation camp immediately.
We're so terrible that (approximately) everybody wants to come here
And with that statement I can tell that you have never been outside of your little America-centric bubble.
I've lived in multiple countries around the world and the sentiment of most is that they simply don't think about or care about the United States at all. I know you'll remain in denial about it, what with your delicate egos, but it's the truth.
You merely prove my point. It's an objective reality that has roiled our country for many decades, yet people like you say what you do. Hence, funny:)
Huh... so maybe rounding kids up like cattle and packing them into big buildings and trying to educate them like cattle has other dangers then just making them big targets.
Or are these findings just applicable to college age?
The UK just imprisoned a US Traveler for 3 days just because they didn't like his/her political beliefs. Europe is worse, who knows what laws I might break by speaking my mind?
I'm sure the millions of huddled masses behind you demanding to get in will thank you for getting out of the way...
We're so terrible that (approximately) everybody wants to come here. I don't care what your beliefs are on this topic; that's just plain funny, and always will be:)
Slashdot Mirror
I'm not going to try to lump this person into any particular group or ideology, .
Why not?
If this was Fred, the white nationalist, we'd have no hand wringing and puzzling over motive or head scratching at all ...
What he points out is that people click "yes" to usage agreements and terms of service without reading them, and as an example, links to a test where the terms of service explicitly state giving up your first-born child... and people still agreed to them.

Communist dictatorship lies, bigly.
Some people shocked, oddly.
Next you'll be telling me that "republic" doesn't mean real voting and stuff there ...

My childhood dream of the earth opening up and swallowing bullies is actually possible!
Better enslaved for 15-30 years and then free, than enslaved for life renting.
Depends.
Typically renting costs $x per month, and buying costs $(x + y) per month.
If you actually have the y, you could choose to put it into retirement savings for the 30 years instead of buying.
Depending on your situation, that might actually turn out better than ending up with an ((age when you bought it) + 30 years) old house. YMMV

How I coined the term 'open source'
Christine Peterson finally publishes her account of that fateful day, 20 years ago.
I'm pretty sure, she did not and does not claim that she "coined the term". Some media did, or some idiots did.
Um ...
Yes, she does claim that..
Ans as usual the people making a fuss about her being female are the loud "it should just be about the code mah freeze peach" crowd, e.g. you.
Right. I just made up the whole "focus on women in tech" thing, instead of, you know, noticing it.
Narrowly, on this one point, he's not wrong.
Broadcast networks didn't care less about viewers just because they were paid by the advertisers and not the viewers, for example.
Nor do I think my cable company cares deeply for me just because they charge me a lot for Internet access ...
Seriously you are really missing what an incredible idea walking corn would be. At least until it learns how to make rudimentary tools and weapons.
A whole new kind of sequel to Children of the Corn ...

Women in tech! She's techier than you, male losers! Get it?? Get it ?????
The goal is to solve problems, the more tools you have at your disposal the better.
That's the key. If I need to solve the problem, I find the tool to do it.
After a lotta years, I got a lotta tools ...
So ... if you substitute "IT" for "AI", this story could be from 1997. Or maybe 1967.
And, no IPv6 endpoint seems like a big missing component when "competitors" have it.
it doesn't?

For saying something true?
Nice way to prove his point.
Guess I won't be travelling to the US anymore.

I know I know, it may sound really out there: don't form your voting decisions based on what you see on Facebook? It's an ad platform, not journalism.
I know, right?
And we'll have more on that, Mary, right after these messages! Stay tuned to WXYZ for real news!
1. Since when is it the personal job of a sitting POTUS to 'rein in' any legitimate U.S. based business, regardless of size?
Did he actually say he was going to, or wanted to? The summary says that, but did Trump?
