Working a job and starting a business is most likely more difficult than only starting a business.
Given the current electorate in the United States, I think it would be nigh-impossible that human-driving cars would be banned. Notwithstanding the fact that the cost to equip every vehicle on the road with self-driving technology would be wildly expensive in the short term, Americans respond vigorously to threats to freedoms that are ingrained in their culture (visceral freedoms, not freedoms that are less tangible, such as electronic privacy). Examples: firearms, tobacco, alcohol.

I could foresee this happening in one or two Western European countries, though I would expect Germany and Central Europe to hold out (the German electorate resists regulation that impedes the speed and power of their automobiles).

An aside: how would a car being self-driving affect the owner's ability to direct it wherever he or she pleases?
I can almost feel the awkward vibe that went into not directly comparing search results over the years. It would have made the demise of real organic search too obvious.

I have 12 years of experience working with Java. Worked with high audience websites, most of the time as a backend engineer.
Angular 2 can't come soon enough! The ability to move heavy diffing processes to web workers is what I need. Change detection for large number of DOM nodes is slow and inefficient in Angular 1.
pretty slick online editor. Has some nice touches.
iRobot: Boston, MA or Pasadena, CA; ONSITE only.

We make robots that help people (and cats), and our robots occasionally inspire Saturday Night Live commercials and Parks & Rec episodes.

We're hiring all sorts of engineers: embedded, iOS, test, electrical, mechanical, the list goes on...

No robotics background required for most jobs (I had no robotics background when I started.)

In the U.S. number portability didn't happen until November 2003:

The big thing which I believe really killed business options, though, was data pricing. Before the iPhone made affordable unlimited plans the expected default, it was assumed that anyone who wanted data was a business user on an expense account and the pricing was so high that everyone I knew treated app usage as an emergency-only measure rather than a part of daily life.

I hate to be the one to say this, but at several degrees of removal it's impossible for us to know the difference. People can and sometimes do interpret and re-interpret statements or behavior from intended meaning into something entirely different.

Here's one such example I've personally witnessed:

"Maybe you should consider that your life choices have consequences."

"Is that a threat? Because I can go get the police right now."
That make a ton of sense because the boundaries between packaging and cfg management are artificial.
Google's logo is so important to keeping users around that they frequently replace it with a silly animation about a current event.

I'd change it back to the way it was prior to the redesigns.

It used to work fine. The big problem with the current version is the almost complete absence of legible affordances.

There are all kinds of buttons with logos on them that do stuff. But until you learn what they do, their functions are mysterious.

Basic things like Traffic used to be obvious, one-click features. Now they're hidden in the burger menu, so at best they're two clicks away, and at worst a non-trivial percentage of users has no idea they exist. (Etc.)

Just use Google End To End for sensitive communications. As for the rest, I love Google's ecosystem, although it is a huge privacy risk. It's convenient to have everything linked up and "just work".
Outside tech circles most people give me a blank stare or ask me if it's in England or in Belgium. It's certainly not an Ivy League school where my rich parents dropped $200k to ensure my spot in the upper class, like some of these commenters claim.

We want to bring sanity back to lending and ensure that consumers get the value and service they deserve. Using advanced technologies we are creating credit and lending innovations in line with these values, all delivered through seamless customer experience.
The new Web UI for Google Play Music is horrendous. Sure, it looks nice, but the older interface was much simpler and easier to use (not to mention more responsive).

On the new logo... just went to google.com for the first time today. Ugh, no. I winced when I saw it.
Double Union has never had a laser cutter, but it has two small milling machines (a Shapeoko and a Handibot). It has a bunch of other tools as well, such as screenprinting equipment (exposure unit, screens, ink, squeegees, drying racks, paper cutters, etc.), a Silhouette vinyl cutter, button maker, woodburning tool, Dremels, light box for drawing/tracing, hot plate for dyeing fabric, etc.
Yes, we make heavy usage of Keybase's KBPGP. It's a great project and we're very thankful that they released this under an open license.

We had a copyright attribution page that was totally buried (sorry!), but I just added it to the footer and FAQ.
>The current requirements for equity crowd funding include either 1 Million in non-residential assets, or a reliable 200k annual income (based on 2 years of income, and it's 300k if you have a spouse).

Actually that's not the case under equity crowdfunding. You're citing the definition of "accredited investor" in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended in 1982); offerings to such investors have long had certain exemptions from standard registration requirements (VCs generally use Reg D exemptions, though obviously there were VCs long before Reg D).

You may be confused because title II of the JOBS Act pertained only to accredited investors (it allowed "general solicitation" to such investors).

The whole point (arguably) of titles III and IV of the JOBS Act — the so called "equity crowdfunding" titles — is that they allow investment by unaccredited investors in certain offerings. Hence "crowd."
I remember that now, I still didn't believe it. I just did a side by side incognito search and they had almost identical results. They had very different metadata though interspersed. ie: Yahoo Answers, Bing Related Searches
Maybe you should look at how they are architected. There's a HUGE difference in how they operate. In Chrome the code the pages run in themselves can't do anything. Not true in Safari. The two are night and day different.

I'm a contributor to both Chromium and WebKit.

Sure at some level they share some code. Chrome tho pretty much implements an entire virtual and secured OS in which it then executes Blink. Safari does no such thing for WebKit.

i see no problem with their wanting to start their own hackerspace. in fact, it seems to fit will into the hacker mentality of "don't waste time working with a broken system; go build your own good one from scratch". if it gets applauded when elon musk does it, why not when liz henry does it too?

Klets | Eindhoven, the Netherlands | https://klets.com - Marketer and customer cuddler (INTERN, REMOTE ok)

Klets is customer chat for normal companies. Super easy to set up, with Klets, any company makes it easy and fun for their customers to chat with them.

Unlike live chat popups, Klets focuses on companies that want to build real long-term relationships with their customers. This means great design, great UX, and all attention to the conversation. Companies don't need any IT skills to set up Klets, and customers can chat without downloading anything or signing up.

Klets is only 3 people right now, looking to hire our first intern. Launched just 3 months ago, we now have paying customers, very many happy users, and we're growing very fast.

We're looking for a student or recent graduate in marketing, communication, business administration or journalism with an interest in tech startups. Help us make existing customers even happier about Klets and make Klets known to potential new customers. Think customer support, content marketing, referral marketing, and so on. We strongly believe that happy customers are the best marketing you can do, so in reality these fields are very closely related. We're looking for someone who likes planning this out with us on a strategic level and also likes to execute.

If you're a student looking for a (graduation) project, we can be very forthcoming with the precise contents and goals of the internship. It can be just about as practical or as academic as you need it to be to make it a great project.

Remote is OK, though the closer, the better. We need you to be at most 2 hours away from our timezone (CET).

The fact that you're here reading this on HN means that you're already very high on our list! So get in touch right now on our Klets page: https://klets.com/klets
Absolutely. All of my near-misses are due to unpredictable behavior on my part (I sometimes make mistakes; and I'm improving) or unpredictable driving. I include driver rage in the unpredictable driving category.
I’m a developer, but it’s not my passion
Maybe it's just me, but "Do you have a second to chat?" sounds very little like "You look like you could use some help and I may be able to offer relevant expertise in the interests of addressing your apparent problem". From where I'm sitting, the former sounds like it's so unlikely to lead to the latter that it may not be worth engaging with.

I didn't mean to imply I didn't have advantages ... just being born where I was was a tremendous advantage. On the other hand, I wasn't a legacy dumped into an Ivy League college, I wasn't handed a trust fund or even enough money to even live for a month.

My parents wanted me to follow the "safe path", to be the '50s style company man who would work his 40 years and retire with a good pension. They wouldn't endorse the life I ended up living. I was however encouraged to be curious and the "hack". That was an amazing gift and I am in fact grateful for my privileged upbringing - I'm just not tanned from laying on the beach at the Hamptons.

The nine dot menu instead of a small header row was a terrible change. First because it is an extra click every time for a commonly used task and second because no one had any clue what the hell nine dots were supposed to mean. A friend of mine that worked at google told me the official name is "app drawer". I have no idea how that's supposed to look like a drawer.

More generally the entire move from words to pictograms looks to me like a regression to a technology that was superseded by a superior one 5000 years ago.

Different people have different idea what the actuality of law is. Most people (as Baudrillard would argue) don't ever work with the actuality. Others, mainly the powerful, are quite happy enough to fix failures of the law with copious amounts of force. The abstraction tends to leak bullets. It is very important to emphasize that the law is less than sacred, even an annoyance, to undermine those who will enforce it with the wrong actuality.
I don't think that works very well as a favicon - I see a "c" first and then my eyes have to force it into a G.

Thank you for linking it, hadn't reached my interwebs yet.
I know that disregarding evidence because of association is a fallacy, but can you come up with a better source? I have to strain my memory to think of an accurate article written by the newspaper you linked.
The G looks very similar to the G in the GuldenCoin logo (https://guldencoin.com/)
It always feels like they concentrate on the mobile navigation product and ignore the desktop which has a much wider range of uses.
First impressions matter, and caches do not help with that in the slightest.
Honestly, I have an ~110Mb cable connection (From a fast CDN I can acheive downloads in excess of 13MB/sec) and new Google Maps is still a dumpster fire that is inferior to old Google Maps in every way I can imagine.

I really wish we had a better statically typed language that a large percentage of programmers knew (or knew enough of) that we could use instead as a sort of pseudo-code.

I find C's quirk's end up taking all my attention when trying to grok something interesting expressed in C.
Possibly because running a bot client is much different from running a webserver. Dialing outbound to connect to slack is much easier than figuring out or configuring your own canonical URL, opening ports, etc.

On the other hand, preparing hands as a single image seems a bad way of doing this; Does the slack API only allow a single image per conversation? I agree with your preparation microservice idea - There should be (and probably are several) a service that allows you to specify a poker hand as a query string and get back an image of the hand. More simply, though: A webfont and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playing_cards_in_Unicode
On the other hand, once you know Joe is sensitive to the S word, and you continue harassing Joe with a daily Soufflé, then you are an asshat.

The typical premise behind automation is to remove the (ethical and financial) burden of a human workforce while keeping the benefits provided by human labor. For most business processes this is acceptable (inevitable loss of jobs notwithstanding.)

But when your 'product' is violence on behalf of the state (in the anarcho-libertarian sense of 'violence' being any non-voluntary interaction with a person or power structure, sometimes involving actual violence) then the ability of humans to mediate, alter and affect that system becomes a feature as well as a bug. This necessarily limits the speed of the law and the degree to which it can be optimized, and remain humane, because removing humans from that system tends to merely concentrate power in the hands of the few humans necessary for it to function.

And then the questions become if humans can write the laws, and humans can update the laws, and humans are enforcing the laws, and have discretion in doing so, then what really is being automated, or optimized, other than recordkeeping? And for that matter, what does law as a programming language actually improve?
> That's what designers tell you anyway.

And everybody else in the world.

Great. Then replace the Chanel or Louis Vuitton logos with a bright primary colored Google logo, and see what their purse sales are like a year from now. I'm sure millionaire socialite women would love to have their bright red-blue-green-yellow logos on their Saint Laurent jacket (although it would be perfect for Moschino...)

Sorry dude, but you're over thinking this. Logos are part and parcel to brand identity, and everything about branding determines sales.

If you don't have a good logo, you don't have a good business.
8-Bit Generation – It Lives
I started learning D in 2012, coming from a Java/C++ background. One thing that I've learned over the past 3 years is that D is one of those languages that completely changes your perspective on some aspect of language design (for D, that's metaprogramming and range-based algorithms). D can proudly take its place among the Lisps, the Haskells, the Smalltalks, as one of those fundamental paradigm shifts that makes you think differently about everyday problems.
There's not really any significant room for improvement on any of those factors. You might be able to save a rack unit or two, and several watts by replacing hard drives with a SSD, but if you don't have 50 boxes to consolidate, you're still facing the baseline cost of having a box taking up some amount of physical space and requiring several watts of power. Unless you make the much bigger up-front investment of migrating to a shared hosting platform.
Plenty of sites use a different typeface in their favicon than the one they use in their logotype, e.g., Blogger, McDonald's, Nasdaq, and Bing.
