You've made my point. It wasn't called "wardialing" until War Games.

War Games was a documentary of stuff that was already going on, not a source of inspiration

A hallmark of NoSQL is horizontal scalability. The lack of schema in NoSQL was a brief rebellion against ivory tower DBAs that has since been regretted once it was realized that merely transferred the schema and schema versioning implicitly into the source code, and spread throughout it. Sounds like PostgreSQL got the bad part of NoSQL but not the good part.

Indeed, this shows why we still need the now-amended VPPA.

The blog author is wrong on this one. The original GigaOm article the blog author was commenting on was much more factual.

Anything less than 100% back catalog "so fails to satisfy"? I'm not even going to use that three-letter acronym. Childish.

Make eye contact with the interviewers, but then they might notice your crows feet, which could be the real problem.

It reinforces that it's a slow news day at Slashdot.

I found age discrimination 2008-2011 but not now. I expect it will return after the next stock market or dot-com 2.0 crash.

But I'm not in Silicon Valley.

Data Science is not "dead", but I've blogged my response: The End of Data Science as We Know It

The author of that Economist piece not only lacks understanding of Montessori, he has, as far as I can tell from Google searches, invented the term "Montessori Management." He gives no evidence or citation that open floor plans come from Montessori rather than the generally accepted Henry Ford factories and subsequent secretarial pools. See also the critical reader comments to that Economist story.

In the interests of balance, if you work in an open plan office that's her fault.

On the contrary, the open floor plan has its roots in the 20th century philosophy of Modernism combined with a focus on industrial efficiency by early 20th century industrialists. Maria Montessori, in contrast, adapted traditional values to the modern era. The multiple ages grouped together doing work simulates the traditional large family (plus cousins). One of the problems she was addressing was the dual-working-parents leaving their children to play in the stairwells of apartment buildings. And, really, what is the alternative for a preschool? Walls, offices, and cubicles? The need for adult supervision in a preschool dictates the open floor plan there, Montessori or not.

Blame Henry Ford instead.
