Killing people in general is not legal for civilians. We give this power to various groups for various reasons and condone it. Clearly it is an area of interpretation and justification. Civilians are not flying drones around Libya dropping bombs willy nilly. Military personnel are doing it with orders from their command. The command may not be within it's rights but if we want to make it legal it simply takes a vote. If not then our leadership has some explaining to do.
Big business also pays more for power and who's going to sell the power from a grid of homes? There's no profit there, so nobody would do it. No power for big business == no jobs, no houses with solar panels.
As long as you don't need any on demand dynamic data driven stuff (no account system, no comments system, etc) though you can get third party JavaScript based solutions for some things ( comments, ratings).
Isn't that just job security at the end of the day? The only potential risk is that the software written is actually so generic that several off the shelf options now exist already ported and the custom code is now irrelevant.
As a family man I tend to disagree in some respects. With kids there is no such thing as shops at a walkable distance (the number of supplies needed requires either a stroller too big for shopping or a vehicle). Restaurants assumes a babysitter or extended family next door and a workplace nearby implies either that a person is self employed, a low wage employee or that you are very near a commercial zone with lots of potential traffic and random influences (not everyone who works at a larger corporate office will want to live nearby or could even afford to).
Nearby shopping villages for singles would be fine but you still need residential only neighborhoods for families.
How about local water treatment of waste water. Recycle it through a small hydro plant and then water the lawns.
How about organic waste being used to feed a methane generator.
How about a local grid that can recharge electric vehicles with excess power.
There are a great number of small efficiencies that can be created at the community/neighborhood level which are not feasible either for individual homes or for full cities.
I believe by "everyone" he meant to say: "Everyone in business who needed one or two Apples for their accounting dept. to use the new VisiCalc software while they bought cheaper DOS based systems or kept the status quo for non-accounting positions (98%). " There, does that add up better for you?
This is a good point. A solution architect for instance likely has a coding background but is more in the design or producer field. Consultants also can have varied skillsets, usually specialized in an industry other than just comp sci or coding. Logistics is good, or reporting tools like sap or crystal.
HR looks for what the hiring manager asks them to look for. I tell my hiring specialist to look for a few key words thy indicate a passion for the job. That plus experience is all that is necessary. Then we phone screen. If I hear or my team leads hear what we ate looking for an office visit is scheduled.
Some examples: mobile web developer - backbone.js, Sencha touch, WURFL - if you've got one of those on your resume, I'm interested. QA lead - regression testing, continuous integration, unit testing, ANT, Maven, Selenium. Add some decent work history or a complete lack thereof (intern or level 1) and you'll get a call back.
Anyways, certs are nice extracurricular but so would be anything that demos your passion. Personal project, Open Source contributions, blog you keep up to date. All good.
If you can't get work and you are highly educated why not volunteer your time in exchange for a bed, food and some life experience? Do some aid work abroad! Help out on Japan, Haiti, if you're feeling adventurous - north Africa.
In my job I use 4 operating systems, 11 web browsers, 5 mobile devices, 4 tablets, 4 different IDEs, have several servers running test environments with multiple web servers, databases, several scripting languages, several compilers, necessary access to any and all web based APIs including Facebook, all of the Adobe software plus betas they don't yet support themselves. That's just the stuff I know about today. Tomorrow I may find I need more.
Yes, I am a web developer. Will you somehow support my needs? I think not. So you can either give me access to manage myself and clean your hands of me or convince everyone to pay 5 times my rate for an outside vendor to do my job. Then when the outside vendor is done you can provide support for millions of random consumer systems out there trying to access your company website on all of those devices and configurations you refused to allow for an inhouse team.
Actually it's more likely you just couldn't find a CEO anymore. Shareholders want profits, a CEO won't keep his position for long if always spending them on "safety".
I owned a home once so have plenty of tools for woodworking, nothing for metal or plastic but a hacksaw and a dremel. It's the clips which hold the wheels on that would be the pain point using stock materials. I'd much rather invest in something like this 3d printer for random small parts though. Still too pricey for general utility unfortunately. I may come up with a revenue hobby to write off the expense, maybe making dishwasher track wheels;)
Which competitors? Amazon isn't competing with local businesses. It is competing with other online businesses. Local businesses compete with each other for in store purchasing opportunity. If they don't also have an online store then they should open one with Amazon or EBay.
It's relative. When I buy a candy bar I'm not looking for the best deal. I buy what I want. A multi millionaire likewise does not bargain shop for a TV.
It's likely the opposite where individuals are recruited to the gov. positions (which may or may not have competitive compensation) with the promise that they'll land highly sought lobbying positions after.
Wrong. Buttons break. They wear down and off. They get in the way when you're not using them. I can't count the number of devices I've had, prematurely bound for the trash heap because of a single button. It's always cheaper to replace the entire unit than fix them. You can delude yourself with rosy memories, I'll enjoy my new found freedom and my devices that last longer with fewer moving parts.
You're all using it wrong or the tool is wrong. Visual armatures are fantastic for adjusting values but are horrible for getting it all set up. Look at any visual effects rendering pipeline system for a great example of how it should be done. You write a filter that takes input and produces output, then adjust the thresholds for each transformation. I haven't looked at this tool yet but hopefully it is similar where you can write your transformative code with expected inputs and outputs, then wire it up and adjust values in the GUI until satisfied (with a preview of results).

Good point. Too many decades of propaganda and processed calories have blinded us to this fact.

If we passed said laws, no investor would get anywhere near it. No investors == no power plant.

Yeah, but they should have been prescient enough to have maintained an image, moved all of the DIY stuff to online only, pick up in store, etc. etc.
If they still have access to the suppliers and good contract/distribution terms, they could still correct this.

Dishwasher track wheels: $40 for $1 of material
Analog button for thermostat: replacement full unit $80 (no parts supply, just full unit)
New gas cap for car, still broken.
Cheap toys for kids, countless possibilities.

Web monkeys too busy writing FB Apps and getting paid.

Yes, public safety is the BEST subject for regulation. All others are optional.
