Then stakeholders need to redefine the problem until the solution presents itself. You can't solve a hard problem without understanding it.

Classic Dunning-Kruger effect coupled with some personality disorders. Jeff Sharlet was really kind to respond in this way but I fear the reply will not be well received. Reading the comments you see a plethora of others that Alan pestere

Actually one can. Just like the cause of a hanged man's death is the knot the hangman tied. There's a great big sequence of events preceding it for sure.

I found the explanation of the technical challenges well done and worth the time.

This just has to be a hoax. It's too conveniently packaged to be true. Bad spelling and grammar make it less believable.

Maybe this is just me being so accustomed to my hammers that I solve everything like it was a nail. My toolset involves exactly that: modelling the space of requests with a complete enough relational database that I can find columns and ke

I've yet to encounter a query I could not write using the Django ORM effectively.

Django's ORM has the JSONB and features from HSTORE for PostgreSQL.

I suppose this tool has it's place in the ecosystem. I just wonder why anyone would use this when there are ORMs .... EDIT: I'm not saying this is a waste of time from a developer who obviously puts out quality projects. I'

You should actually make a "Pricing" page with some representation of this info. I remember seeing sandstorm.io sometime ago and dismissing it because I could not find a page showing me what it would cost. I might check it out n

I think this is the only approach. As much as we hate the CFAA generally (and the abuses of it against Aaron Swartz specifically), I'm quite sure references to felonies will at least make him think twice about doing damage.

I'd say the spirit of the images is right but the devil is in the details. We are still a very fortunate country. We are managing to stand up after a rough tumble. We also generally know how fortunate we are. The general feeling wi

I guess it's better in the sense that political winds are still shifting. We had the good fortune of voting in 3 members of the Pirate Party (out of a legislative body of 63 parliamentarians) and they have been phenomenally effective

The Icesave subsidiaries are a separate matter. As far as I understand it the carcasses of the banks paid the last payment not too long ago (about a month or so). I confess ignorance in the details.

You take my words out of context. There are well publicized examples from the US where bankers did great harm and were let off due to being high earners. The case that jumps to mind is the hedge-fund manager that plowed down a surgeon on

You are obviously an expert and know far more than I. I still think I do the situation more justice than the article. Taxpayer involvement got the new banks jumpstarted.

There were rules that were supposed to prevent such overleveraging that they skirted by hiding their interest in the bank. The holding companies were so transparent about it that they had silly names like Drawercorp and (I shit you not) Twi

If they artificially manipulated the stock themselves and hid their interest in the company to the degree where holdership limits were broken, yes. You also have to realize what sort of lending put the banks under. Using their influence in

I'm a native of Iceland. There are mixed feelings with respect to the sentences. We are generally proud to have a system that does imprison bankers but there are frustrations that the true architects of the financial crisis not only

On the average techies know and appreciate it. Business types and CXO's don't (by and large). I wanted a donation budget and my boss replied "what do we get for that?". I explained, after picking my jaw off the floor. No
