Have you thought about getting work from clients in other countries? I think for most of us the Github rates are ridiculously low rather than ridiculously high.

I don't sell apps. I own a piece of hardware. Apple restricts the software I can run on the hardware that I own. We would all be better off if Apple did not do this.

PACER content relating to divorces, custody etc are no interest to me, but would be to a lawyer working in that field. Divorces typically cost thousands of whatever currency you're in, and are a long drawn out painful process even where th

This is beyond ridiculous. And I know that what Apple is doing doesn't breach any laws, but imo it should be illegal in the same way that MS bundling IE breached anti-trust laws. Personally I'm going to try Android when it comes time to rep

Because PACER is a revenue stream for the courts.

99% of the public wouldn't know what to do with PACER even if they had completely free, open access You could say the same about having free open access to your server's source code though.

Unauthorised access to the network is not illegal, just as unauthorised access to a building is not illegal if you don't break any locks to get in. http://unhandled.com/2013/01/12/the-truth-about-aaron-swartz...

Changing a MAC address by itself is not illegal. Doing so in order to gain access to a network which he is no longer authorized to access is. Sorry, but I disagree strongly with this. I don't believe it is illegal, and I certainly don't b

"while others she says she never sent to anyone and may have been lifted from her phone or computer" There you go. Also as another commenter you need model release forms. You are the rights holder of any likenesses of yourself.

I think you could make the case that they had a legal obligation. Isn't this what the DMCA is for? You get safe harbour providing you take down content which is objected to on request.

"despite the fact that it was clear to him that he was not welcome" Well this is the bit that's unclear, MIT has an open network. Is changing your MAC address to stay on illegal? Another TOS violation in my opinion, either that or we're all

He broke a website's TOS, it's not at all clear that he broke the law imo.

I'd characterise that as a hoax rather than a lie tbh, but your point about being cautious what you trust is still absolutely correct.

A lot of things he did could be seen as reckless, or brave depending on your viewpoint.

"the claim he FOIA'd tapes of Manning" Is this true or not? I honestly have no idea. https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/bri...

To me the suggestion that his targeting for prosecution was as a result of his alleged involvement with Wikileaks. Mashable may be leaving the 'not suicide' conspiracy theory open but I don't think that is what Wikileaks are suggesting.

Their 3 points seem fairly clear to me. I'd assume assistance would be some kind of technical help? Being in communication with Assange is also pretty clear, and the third point is necessarily vague. Did you want to see the commits and emai

Ok, if you believe that Wikileaks are lying then your complaint is valid. If they're telling the truth however then this raises disturbing questions about why he was targeted by the DoJ.

I was thinking 'finance' too. I'll add 'oil industry' to that list as well.

It is a little racist to see a difference in test scores and assume that it is 'likely' due to race. There isn't much in that post (which is pretty good) about why the scores of immigrant Finns are lower.

The meetup is back up with it's 200 users, so doesn't seem to have been 'deleted permanently'.

Not for profit means the organisation doesn't distribute funds to shareholders. The founders/owners are still free to pay themselves a wage. That's what I mean about 'sounds nice and fluffy', actually it means very little in practice.

I don't even think this is a false positive. They claim the conference is 'not for profit' which sounds all nice and fluffy, but it is sponsored by three orgs [1]. Even if they don't turn a profit on the first year they're still building th

That post is from a couple of hours ago, so maybe give them a little time. Reading down through the wall they seem to be responding to most requests posted there.

So they've organised a conference using Meetup? It doesn't seem to me like that's what Meetup is intended for "Meetup's mission is to revitalize local community and help people around the world self-organize." [1] If meetup.com don't want t

You say you're 20. The reality that some of us live in is that we have families to support. Let's see how your idealism stacks up after another 20 years.

Contracting isn't freelancing though. In my experience contract gigs are pretty easy to find, and you don't have to work that hard to get them. Send off a CV to a few agencies, wait, that's it. If you're a consultant, spending time establis

It's a side issue, but how lacking in empathy must Ortiz's husband be to criticise Swartz's parents right now. He might be feeling protective towards his wife, but they've just lost their son. Words fail me.
