Two guys walk out of a bar, one has vest with Harley Davidson written on it, the other has almost identical one except his says Tata.. Guess which one got his ass whopped?
The article mentions it vaguely but I predict this growth will be limited more by major outbreak of some disease or diseases.
Possibly some form of influenza or other nasty bug like airborne ebola should wipe medium portion of the population at some point in the future.
Alternatively, or should I say additionally rising pollution levels at highly populated areas will cause health problems at increasing rate.
How is this blow against Uber?
Uber is illegal in Finland as taxis here need a license to operate and they have service obligation.
Uber would allow the drivers to bypass the service obligation by rating the user with note like "user is in wheelchair" and that would give the driver the option to skip the ride which would be discriminating towards the user ordering the service(although not necessarily directly obvious) and thus bypassing the service obligation.
Going after a startup for innovative work might me interesting and rewarding but it might not neccessarily pay your mortgage.
There are many benefits in working with well established platform and performing maintenance coding.
Personally, I would never accept pay cut for "I'm bored with my current job".
You can always find more rewarding job with higher salary if you really want to.
Just remember you don't have to rush out, and don't let the door hit you in the ass when you leave.
World is actually annoyingly small place and you will end up bumping into your old colleagues and it's much better if you are in good terms with them.
I actually did this kind of move just recently.
I left my old job for a position in a much smaller company with old, almost ancient infrastructure.
One of the main reasons for leaving was the salary, the small company does not have capital/revenue of even/10 of the old company but they pay proper salary nevertheless.
I didn't double my salary by switching but taking into account the layoffs which were foreseeable in the old position, I'd might aswell say I did double up.
Problem with bitcoin and other virtual currencies is pretty much same as real currencies as well.
It accumulates to certain individuals who instead of keeping the cash flowing and market running hoard it like Scrooge McDuck.
The imagined lack of availability with increased interest drives the price point up for those who participate at the market and this creates valuation bubble.
Bitcointalk has nice estimates of the distribution in this thread
I never used Do, but for social project management/tasks I'd give asana a try.
I've been using their free version for few personal projects and it's great.
Not everything in life is about money, atleast when you have enough not to worry if you can pay the rent or maybe buy food tomorrow.
Having extra time and nothing to do can be really dulling and boring in numerous ways.
The company is their baby. They built it and they want to see it succeed.
Sometimes it's good to scale back and rethink the direction.
DNS is something which should be easy to document by providing bunch of examples.
There isn't that many ways to configure it if you consider the variations you can do.
For some reason djbdns does not do this, it gives vague hints and makes you read 50 man pages followed by 100 blog post and 200 websites with obsolete/slightly relevant info on what you're trying to accomplish and if the position of the moon is decent, your tinkering will eventually work.
When you reach the "oh it works" phase, you follow "if it works, don't f**king touch it!" mantra and you're good.
I've tried going through the djbdns code to implement some changes and it's really well written in the sense that you can get grasp of what's going on in there quite fast.
The code is simple in a way which reminds me of some early cisco code I've seen for stuff like switches and routers.
Maybe the "competition" is so bad at doing the same thing because over-engineering?
If the documentation of djbdns would be in par with the code quality, I'd call it superb software. Now it's "I need the features it provides so I deal with the issues and use it"
We used to arrange throwing contests with Nokia 3310 and 3110s.
Best lengths were 30-40 meters and the phone broke into 3 pieces on landing, but worked fine once you put them back together.
Better not try that with modern phones, I don't think the build quality today would allow such abuse and still allow them to function.
Why use some random.local when you can use intra.company.com subdomain for the internal lan.
It's much better to use a real domain which you actually own and will remember to renew.
Is this native allocations or users through tunnelbrokers?
Your IPv6 location might vary based on the country where your tunnelbroker is hosted.
My IPv6 network at home through HE places me as US user from googles view point, and it's annoying that they keep suggesting me to use google.com rather than the localized one.
Native IPv6 at work on the other hand works just fine since the subnet links to our real location.
Maybe they were trying to implement security by air-gap and unplugged the wrong cord, accidentally achieving it.
Security by accident - now there's new sales pitch for their sales team to use.
Can someone explain to me what the fuss is about unlocking?
If I understand it right, you are not allowed to unlock a phone which you are buying with monthly contract.
Well, makes sense to me, you haven't paid the device fully, it's not yours to hack.
Once you've paid the (24 month?) contract you're free to do what you want with the device.
If you don't like those terms why did you even buy the phone with contract rather than directly with cash?
It is not a worthless metric for all roles. Phone/Net tech support for example. If they are not logged in, they are not working. Even there it's an easily gamed metric.
Perhaps Mayer checked those users who need corporate network to do their job then?
To me, this sounds like military-style management.
You are supposed to work as a team. If one of you goofs around instead doing their task, everyone suffers.
It's classic team-bonding strategy, and I don't see anything wrong with the approach.
She can prove wrongdoings happened but instead pointing fingers everyone gets punished. Now the group can work out itself who deserves to get soap-sock treatment.

How about something like:
Trolltech 2.0
Qtrolls
CloudQ(t)
aQt Synergies
Re:Qt
I find this comment very suiting, too bad he said Mordor rather than Redmond..
Crimea=Florida
But who's counting..
There are phones with real cameras in them.
Go and have a look at one then.
First one that came up with search results.

Isn't it obvious to use rsync+ssh for syncing unix to unix?
I don't use that one myself, just first result from google which is free.

a solid hardware manufacturer in their back pocket. Next up?
Well, if you look what happened with Palm deal and Windows Mobile, it's not hard to guess what happens next..

Coming soon to the Far North: cruise ships.
I think you mean going? Largest cruise ships are built in Finland but it's not where they sail at.
What about Skype?
It's old and established name for a product but it's run by Microsoft now, are they forced to rebrand it too?

What good will this do if they've backdoored your device and are reading the keyboard input and taking screenshots?

You know, that would only end up in: "stop video recording, post to youtube, label 'This fool thinks he can voice control my google glasses lol'"
