I happen to host the blog (among others) of an author who has written just such a novel: Bring Laws and Gods. It should be released some time this year.

The historical point of departure is that Archimedes of Syracuse was captured, not killed, and brought back to Rome.
* It should let you preview without entering an email address. Right now it's not clear what the site does, and while I mostly trust HN crowd, I would prefer not to give my email unless it's clear what it's used for.

* It should accept email addresses with + in then.

* Consider using the shortlinks generated by google maps instead of generating your own? That way, the messages will still be useful even if your service has gone down for any reason.
what about the studies themselves? From what I read here, most don't seem to have too much appreciation towards them.

.arpa still exists and is used exclusively for technical infrastructure purposes. While the name originally was the acronym for the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), it now stands for Address and Routing Parameter Area.

arpa contains also the domains for reverse domain name resolution in-addr.arpa and ip6.arpa for IPv4 and IPv6, respectively.

It's funny that if you agree that many programming languages suffer from a paradoxical "shield of complexity" like the author describes, than the obvious solution is better technology like natural language parsers, etc. (Ways to translate more common human expression into machine-specific coding). However, the technology to do that would be an order of magnitude more complex than what exists today, so the framework/base/foundation of technology needed to make day-to-day programming more accessible to everyone would also suffer from it's own perpetual "shield of complexity".

Whether you see the irony in that or not, is besides the point. Basically, arguments about programming being too complex are null and void if the technology needed to solve it would always be increasingly more complex.

Unfortunately, I think that's how history advances in general. At the time the printing press was invented, most people were unable to read and write. Reading and writing was a TECHNOLOGY accessible only to elites. Over time, that technology and associated skills become accessible to almost everyone, but based on even more advanced technology that enabled the masses to learn. The same might come to pass in regards to programming skills, where everyone in the future will be able to program, but a smaller crowd will be working on even more advanced stuff to allow us to all learn those skills, ad infinitum.
There are few to no orders at that price level on the exchange; in this case, the person who sold down the BTC also posted buy orders at that level. Look for .01337 next time there's a hack like this.
So why would you not immediately switch to a paid model?
Definitely. I'm still trying to figure out the best place. Some people are up for the idea of being further away in something really nice, and others want to be in the thick of things. Optimal situation would be to find a happy medium :)
1) I use duckduckgo.com instead of Google; in addition to its other advantages, it doesn't try to tailor results to me (or track what I'm up to in general).

2) I make looking at alternate viewpoints a part of my research heuristic in general. I don't believe in the mythical "neutral news source" so instead I grab things written from vastly different viewpoints and try to get a complete-ish picture.

3) I have the kind of people in my social circle who think that debate for the sake of debate is fun, so we take positions pretty much at random sometimes. It leads to some interesting conversations, and occasionally makes one or more of us re-think our beliefs.
This is true even on a much more micro level. As a Chicagoan who recently moved to moved to Milwaukee (< 100 miles) I'm continually surprised by cultural differences. There's still a lot the two cities have in common but in day-to-day living the differences really start to show.

I.e. I meant ion to a random friend in Chicago that I'm bummed there's no way for me to take transit to work and I get sympathetic agreement. I mention the same to someone in Milwaukee and they look at me like I have two heads (why would you want to do that?)
Perhaps this is the time where attempting to match your current interests with where you think your interests will be post-graduation would help. Are you in high-school or just about to finish up your Bachelors?

Specifically, Toronto seems to have a greater variation in the number and, presumably, types of firms that would seek out Comp Sci graduates. As an example, if you had an inclination to work within Finance tech, then your best bet by far would be Toronto since all the major financial firms and banks are located primarily in Toronto.

Alternatively, if you're interested in game development, I hear that Vancouver seems to have strong presence, mainly due to the influence of EA's Vancouver (Burnaby) location, with a vibrant startup scene. I haven't heard of other types of firms with a strong demand for CS in Vancouver other than gaming and startups.

I can't comment on Waterloo nor Montreal, except that they both seem to be continually growing tech hubs. RIM and UofW are strong reasons for the talent draws in the Waterloo region, and the Montreal startup scene seems quite lively.

From a salary perspective, most people tend to agree that Vancouver firms pay lower than Toronto equivalents. I can't comment on startup salaries since they're so specific to the situation (startup stage, equity vs. salary compensation considerations).

On a more personal note, although I agree that either city would make a fine home, I find Toronto highway traffic a complete mess compared to the Vancouver bridge bottlenecks. Tech events and gatherings tend to be located within downtown Toronto. A younger person will have more fun living downtown or in a subway accessible location. If your job is in Mississauga (due to the cheaper commercial lease rates), then from personal experience I can attest the commute will significantly bring down your quality of life.
I think this is a great way off attacking it. Establishing a rapport and learning how you can set yourself apart from the other sites out there is crucial. Getting this info directly from the source and getting them involved in the process will be able to help you bring them on as clients!
I suspect all these derive from a Buddhist parable, in which a novice fish asks a master fish to define the "sea" that the master keeps mentioning. The original point was different: the master's description is necessarily mystical, but the sea is real.
Wild! I don't remember ever having read that, but I must have years ago, and the metaphor stuck.

How does your surrounding  community impact the hacker zeitgeist?
pg has stated that while intelligence is hard to fake that determination is something where discernment of it is far more difficult to achieve correctly.

He's also emphasized the key role this plays in predicting success. Coining terms such as "relentlessly resourceful" and emphasizing constant and responsive iteration as a great key to success. All this has accentuated in my mind the impact that a cultures ethics/morals play in fostering entrepreneurial activity/success.

This ranges the gamut from honesty to thrift and security as all being elements that can impact a culture or communities start-up mojo.

Take, for example, my home of utah. Lots of tech savvy entrepreneurial minded folks. Yet, in my opinion, a hyper zealous thrift minded risk averse upper/upper middle class contributes (along with other factors I could name) to the problem of things like seed funding. People want to invest but their sensibilities keep them often from engaging in seed funding much of anything. (Most ideas of "seed funding" here seem to demand an already in the marketplace profit gaining gig)

So my question to you, where ever you are, is

"What are aspects of your community that you believe impact the entrepreneurial spirit/fostering of innovation?"

I found it a bit creepy simply because I view the Google services as pure utility completely segregated from my real life. I use them in the same way I use my microwave or toaster. If I woke up this morning and my microwave said "call Dad" I would have the same reaction. It's not a big deal of course but it's just kind of weird. It shows what a huge challenge Google has to ever develop a coherent social strategy when such a harmless message causes a little controversy.
I didn't even realize there was a contest until this morning, but I merged in qhoxie's pull request to news:yc (listed as "iPhone App" in the voting options) yesterday, and I have to say, it works quite well.

I'm in the process of submitting a build of news:yc with the search support to the App Store now, so look for it in a week or two. Thanks again qhoxie for the patch!
I edited it out of the post, but I was about to include my Chicago story:

Because I also grew up in Chicago, and just assumed that every bar in the world, everywhere that alcohol is served, has a blues band.

It wasn't until I moved to Boston that I started noticing the lack of blues bands in all the bars.

I mentioned it to someone, and he said, "Uh... dude... you grew up in Chicago. Chicago Blues. That's a Chicago thing."

Ah.... wild. Still wondering how many things in life are like this.

That's true, I chose the advertising method for this app, although its probably slower than selling a paid app on the App Store or Android Market. The biggest factor that led me to decide on a free app was the ability to gather some useful analytics. Publishing a paid app might make more money in the short term, but only get a total of a few dozen installs. Since this was my first app, I thought it would help to do some market research first. Now there are about 1000 active users which gives me a good indication of where to focus future development effort. :)

if it's true that businesses are leaving california (and i'm not sure that it is, since the guy he's citing runs a business pertaining to business relocation -- he is not a disinterested observer here), there could be a hundred different reasons to explain it.

one possible explanation is that california is currently in the process of immolating its public school and university system, which is a direct result of the state government's inability to take in sufficient revenues -- in other words, it may be that taxes are too low.

we also don't know the condition of the businesses that are leaving (are they all doomed to fail anyway?) or ratio of businesses that left to the number of businesses created.

one red flag is that the author is currently on the payroll of the american enterprise institute, a right-wing, pro-big-business "think tank" which is notorious for turning even the thinnest factoids into pro-big-business propaganda.
> where the Google front page feels like a public space, the logged-in side of Gmail feels more like a private area. This means that while a holiday Google Doodle sails by just fine, a reminder in Gmail feels very invasive.

One reason for drawing the distinction between what feels like a public versus private space is based on the private information that is contained within gmail, versus the non-private information on the frontpage.

An additional reason that gmail may feel like a different area than the frontpage is that Google doesn't often make modifications like today's (I don't use the chat functionality often so I am not sure if they have done other modifications similar to the call reminder today). Users who were offended by today's reminder but not by today's frontpage doodle might have found the doodle offensive if Google had never modified the frontpage logo, or modified it less frequently than they currently do.
"Employees have become more interested in selling, in part because companies are taking longer to go public."

More like the other way around. Companies are no longer in such a rush to do public offerings because they can now achieve the same things from a private round.
Is there any evidence fish don't "know" they are in water?

I've seen plenty of fish from flying fish, to carp, to sharks jump completely out of water time after time after time.

The archer fish can accurately shoot (spit at) flies that are out of water and down them (and eat them) so something within the fish can correct for refraction.

Salmon can be seen jumping out of water, and against a strong current, they can be seen swimming very hard, and making little headway or even giving up ground.

It's not clear to me that fish don't understand they are within water.

It's pretty clear that Google doesn't know your father or your family situation, so their little reminder is a lot different that Bob Barker actually showing up at your house.

Read article with grain of salt because the author is currently working for The American Enterprise Institute, which is a well known right-wing entity that is paid to produce "research" and propaganda.

Also, evaluating the merits of the piece itself, I notice it's very carefully worded to imply a certain thing which is not actually backed up by facts or independent evidence, nor does it make an effort to separate correlation from cause. Which is a common hallmark of propaganda. For example, there may very well be a rise in businesses leaving California, but it could also be the case there's a rise in businesses coming into California, or starting up inside of California, or it may actually be a good thing that they're leaving, or even if it is bad in isolation there are other good things that come from it that are more than worth it. Overall, not a serious or trustable piece.
