You sound really naive and honestly it might do you good to get fired so you learn a simple life lesson: Google is a company that only exists to make money. That's its sole purpose. It's not your friend, it's not your family. You don't work their because they enjoy your company. You work there because the right people assume that you provide more value than your salary costs (i.e. they make a profit on their exchange with you). You need to grow past this "loyalty" nonsense.

It's true that I wouldn't personally go releasing information like this, but that's because I can make more money if I'm known as someone who doesn't air company laundry, not because of some misplaced and immature sense of "loyalty".

Ironically, the leak probably helped Google as some good talent out there never gave them a second look because they have a reputation of not being competitive with their salaries. They make billions so there is no valid excuse for paying less than places who only make hundreds of millions.

Ask HN: How to earn more money?
I've been programming for a few years now and, as far as I can tell from comments from managers and people I have worked for, I'm quite good at web development.

The thing is, for the first couple years, I only made $45k. This year, I have been self-employed and should end up at around $65k. I really feel I am not earning as much as I should be for the work I'm doing (although I realise probably everyone feels this way). I also took a month off this year.

I came across this post - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1747713 - that a good developer should have no problem earning six figures.

I ofter wonder reading salary rates on HN if people in SF are completely out of touch with the rest of the world or what.

The rate for senior developers in my city is around $90k so I have sought out remote work this year.

Some reasons I may not be earning more:
- I need to improve negotiating and knowing my value
- I'm working on building web applications and not complex problems
- I'm not as good as I think I am
- I'm not living in SF or NY

What can I do to earn more?

Selphyl Plasma - Rich Natural Filler in New York 
Dr. Prasad through a patented process gives selphyl treatment to patients in New York.
I remember first reading wired in 1994 - when it was a wholly different magazine. It was packed full of insightful and interesting articles about the rising tech-scene and it really had a huge effect me. I found it completely inspirational. A mix of social theory, art, design and technology - articles about memetics (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.10/godwin.if.html) and 'the well' (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/5.05/ff_well.html) .. and a whole host of interesting stuff, that I don't think I'd have been exposed to otherwise.

There was a UK edition for a while, which wasn't profitable enough (eventually leading to it being pulled). I bought every issue and read it religiously.

Then, around the height of the first dot-com bubble - it morphed into a different beast, and in my opinion began to distance itself from its original core readership. It seemed that it was gearing itself as a publication for geeks-with-money, and the articles were also distanced from each other by multiple pages of adverts for the kind of luxury-tech products that only the very rich could afford.

I put up with it for a while, it had a kind of aspirational appeal .. but after a while, became very fed-up with the inverse-proportionality of magazine thickness to interestingness.

The style of the journalism has always involved a degree of wide-eyed hyperbole .. but I think this is understandable. For a long time the magazine championed technology's ability to change the world in an exciting and positive way. There weren't many other publications which were seeking to do the same.

I wouldn't consider buying it now.. it's not the same as it was. I've also noticed that the blog has undergone a change - I'm kind of shocked by the poor level of journalism .. I suppose - like much of the web - the wired blog is trying to attract eyeballs. It's sad, but things aren't like they used to be.

With hindsight this would have been a flop even with TC's backing. In a way TC have got away without a failed product to their name. I think TC assumed that Apple would be launching that iPad at $1000, and that they could then shift the JooJoo for $500 easily. Wrong - Apple's pricing approach has changed.

Free Movies 
It's one of the most frustrating things in the world--remembering the plot or
stars of a movie but being unable to put your finger on the exact title.
Before the rise of the Internet, you needed to do a lot of tedious research
or hope you ran into somebody who could provide the name of the movie with just
a description. But nowadays, you can use the plot description or character description to
search for the movie name quickly.
On a lot of these the Google result shows as "Sometext - Untitled Document" even though the <title> tag is plain "Untitled Document". For instance, the result for http://www.pinholephotography.org/Solargraph%20instructions.... gets "Instructions - " added to it.

Is this a Google feature? Where's the "Sometext" coming from?
TechCrunch has made a credible showing that it may be able to establish the existence of a joint venture under which Fusion Garage owed it certain fiduciary duties.

Depends on what other claims TC made, probably some claims with malice and intent in the wording which the judge decided there wasn't any/enough evidence to proceed with.

"Play the point, not the score." - Brad Gilbert
The decision made by Fusion Garage seems like a good one, based on where the market is going now. The company has clearly shown they can get a product built. To me, the question is whether they can shake off the stench from the mess with TechCrunch such that future marketing efforts for new products will not be pointless upon arrival.

Can the tech crowd be won over?

I'm really curious about the family of products to be released. The line that the products would talk to each other in a unique way is intriguing. It is the synergy between the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and iTunes products that is a really strong point for Apple. I wonder whether anyone has tried replicating that with Android-based systems, and done so successfully.
Sure, but the website could be better. Just went there on the 3g iPad to be presented with a mostly blank screen... took ages for anything to happen only to be presented with a high res photo. Looks plush, but checking back on Chrome I see that it was a 390kb image... that's a hell of a hit on an 3g connection. Tried it again and got a 850kb image.

Have we forgotten that 3g connections aren't wired broadband connections? All just for a page that links us to iTunes so that we can download an app. It looks lovely, but I thought the site was broken and only saw the first image because I put the iPad down whilst I checked on the PC... only by putting it down did I inadvertently wait long enough to load the background image.

Ah didn't know that. Well that would make the single/double space encoding of an id much harder.
When Wired came out the first time it was very much better than anything they publish today. But the context was also much different and the contrast with the competition was much higher. Today you have many online magazines / blogs etc. which makes what Wired was, look less today than it did at the time.

The Wired issue which was nearly twice as thick as a normal Wired issue, because of the Neal Stephenson's story of the undersea fiber optic cable FLAG, stands out as one of the highlights: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/4.12/ffglass_pr.html

When TC was still involved we were looking at Chromium OS - which wasn't ready, and also Android. If we stayed with the project there was a good chance that it would have been Android at launch (with support for Marketplace and all the other good things that come with Android)
I think viable metric would be to see how android tablets will do on the market (by well established companies) and lessen that by a certain percentage (at least 40% - pulled that out of my ass).

Symfony Tips & Tricks III: Generalizing and formatting forms
I would say it depends on what kind of data you are displaying, how much of it you need to actually have to display, and what you want the user to achieve with the data.

What is the desired call to action when displaying your lists? Is there any way to guess what data the user is looking for so that you can sort the list showing the most important data first.

For contacts: Do you need to display all available contact information all at once, or can you just display the contact name (or picture) and have more details appear when the user clicks or hovers over the contact? Can the contacts be sorted after how frequently the user communicates with a contact? Can the user choose multiple contacts and then do some action with them, and how would this work when the list is spread over multiple pages?

Still seeking proof readers/commenters ...
Hi,

A couple of months ago I asked what people would first like to see in a series about the P vs NP question:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1674804

I got some good responses, and set about writing the series. It turned out not as easy to modularise as I'd hoped, so I've basically written most of it.

Here I asked for proof-readers:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1891084

Of course, I'm really asking for early reactions to make sure I've got the level right and haven't missed anything important.

I've had no responses at all. 8-(

Perhaps it's because I asked too much. The idea of getting you to send me the MD5 was so I could put you in the password DB and you could access the wiki, currently only open to registered users. Then you could comment there, or in email, and once the page was ready, I would open it to world read access.

But perhaps that was too much.

So, email me if you'd like to read this advanced first draft. Comments also welcome. Obviously.

>>The point is that these are all artificial problems that the programmer shouldn't have to give any thought to.

Yeah, the references of Perl sucks. Just has to be learned.

The Perl feature is that it is flexible. You'll get more library and language capabilities with CPAN than using anything else I know of.

The disadvantage is that you have to learn quite a bit of extra stuff. It is the natural language inspiration shining through (not a mathematically elegant and minimal notation, exactly :-).

I don't have three languages anymore; just now I only do Perl. This is a choice I made, because it is fun.

(I consider going functional again, next. Or, if the Android competition don't work out, maybe Objective C.)

I do not like that particular quote. I can offer you mine: "when you are not resting, someone else is. when you meet him, he will win."

Bruce Lee changed his "be as ready to fight as possible every day" attitude which didn't allowed him to be the best - he had to train less intensely than possible. So he introduced two one day rests and one two days rest into his training regimen.

Sayings like that (quoted by article author and one from your trainer) are manipulative and provoke sense of guilt without any good reason.
