Backbone.js 0.5.0 Released (with pushState)
Yes, but if they are purchasing this property together to use as a weapon against another company... it seems awfully anti-competitive. Similarly, you could make a similar assertion that "companies should be allowed to sell their products at prices they decide", but it's quite another thing if several get together to do this to put another organisation out of business (or drive-up prices). It's anti-competitive and (eventually) bad for everyone.

Regarding 'open source', I'm assuming you can buy a patent and put it in the public domain or some similar construction. This may be attractive for a group of companies who are all being blackmailed into licensing. It may even be worth paying a premium for, as it could reduce exposure to risks (licensor changing his mind, competitor buying license and suing, etc).
I dunno, I actually see this complementing and strengthening YouTube. Assuming Google can keep the content, it would make YouTube the place to go for both funny videos and network TV.

Google has been working for a while to get more "programming" on YouTube an this would be one hell of a way to accomplish that goal.

I guess the could transition Hulu into a pure subscription platform and use youtube as the ad supported platform. Move premium Youtube content over to Hulu and integrate search so Hulu results show in Google.

>Google, being late to the party

This is biggest advantage I guess. Seeing both the models (Facebook and Twitter) working, Google+ tries to bring the best of both, wherein when I add someone to a circle, it's like following him rather than adding him as a friend, which is more like Twitter; but with it's rich media interface, the stream looks as good as Facebook. And not to mention the granularity of user control over what to share with whom, which again is a better version of what we have on Facebook. So it's more like the best of both worlds where you don't necessarily have to be friends with someone to broadcast and if you are friends, then well, you are friends.

San Francisco, CA - Yammer

Yammer is a cool tech startup masquerading as an enterprise software vendor. We're building an enterprise social network (think Facebook, but for your company. Also, better.) and we need your help. We build our product with insight and wisdom gained from the consumer social networking space, but we charge enterprise prices (and our customers pay them!) We're fighting some big serious competitors (Salesforce/Chatter, Jive, and VMWare/Socialcast) and this space has never been more exciting. Yammer is really changing the way people get work done. We have real challenges to overcome and we're doing our best to make a kick-ass product that makes our users happy.

Tech we use: Ruby/Rails, Scala, and Node/JS. We have Obj-C and C# stuff too.

Some bullet points for you to skim:

• Amazing group of smart engineers to work with. Really.

• We hack in Ruby/Rails, Scala/Java, Javascript/JQuery/Node.js/Adobe AIR, Obj-C for iOS, and some MSFT/Sharepoint stuff.

• Competitive compensation. Enough said.

• Delicious catered lunch and dinner daily, with a 3PM snack cart. (Really.) Also a fully-stocked beer-and-beverage fridge.

• Fancy Apple hardware of your choice (you can have a PC if you really want one.)

I'd love to move over to Picassa from Flickr, but the fact that every photo needs to be in an album is a deal breaker. I take one random photo and in order to upload it I need to put it in it's one, one-photo album? Or I can make a catch-all album that quickly becomes buried because it's my oldest? What a pain. If they just had some kind of "photo stream" I'd be all over it.

Unrelated, but I visited Luxembourg last year while backpacking in Europe. After fearfully walking a few blocks away from the train station full of very pushy homeless people I found sprawling bridges overlooking storybook castles and lush gardens! Beautiful country!

It might be hard to find non-remote devs with the exact knowledge you require as the population of Luxembourg is relatively small, no?
> and putting it on the stack turns out to be cheaper than heap allocating it.

Well, more so that C has no concept of the heap. That's entirely contained within the C libraries. So, the language implementation itself can't do heap allocations (at least, not without sacrificing any chance of using it in embedded or kernel dev situations where you don't have heap allocation, or where you need to use custom allocators)

Way off base. Google is aiming to be a dominant player in the web TV space and compete directly with Comcast, Time Warner, etc.

They have had trouble securing content deals with the big networks. Hulu would be their Trojan Horse to get premium content onto the Google TV platform.

I'm not saying their strategy will work, or that the networks would approve them as a bidder, but they are clearly not aiming to run Hulu into the ground.

Who are taking these tests? Unless it is an unbiased sample of the population, the results may not have any relation to those of the whole population. If, for example, people looking for a job, as opposed to those that already have jobs, are more likely to take the test, that would arguably lead to a depression of scores compared to the entire population. If working conditions in India are such that more developers take the tests, that would then skew the Indian scores higher than the American ones. Or maybe the other way around. Such a study would be very difficult to make unbiased, and without quantification of the biases the results are really meaningless.

One of the things that is great about Twitter is that you can subscribe to someone else's posts without them having to take any action. Is something similar available on Google+? Are your posts required to be directed toward a specific circle? I can't just add myself to someone I like's circle, right? They have to add me?

I'd appreciate any clarity on this, I think that the asymmetry and follower driven nature of Twitter is a huge asset. Merlin Mann isn't going to add 160,000 people to a "comedy" circle.

Somalia is ruled by warlords. This is hardly a secret, if you want proof just google it.

It is by definition not an anarchy.
I'm not so sure.

If we can take as given the notion that power leads inevitably to corruption, and that corruption currently exists, it strikes me that the most straightforward way to minimize the potential for ongoing corruption is to compromise the secrecy it requires.

Further, if we agree that law enforcement may serve as an agent of corruption, its large surface area makes it an interesting target. If the arm of the corrupt is bound by watchful eyes, the damage that arm can do is minimized. Further, if the corrupt are using law enforcement in the advancement of their own dubious agenda, there may be useful evidence laying around.

To bring this back to something more concrete: Arizona politicians are using bullshit fear to advance an agenda and immigration laws are a lever they're trying to pull. Who can guess how law enforcement activities are implicated in such a strategy? It seems a reasonable tree to shake.

This is not to say that I necessary endorse – or condemn – the actions described here. I'm pretty conflicted. But if you're going to batman this kind of thing, you could do a lot worse than starting with law enforcement. There's no direct route to the end boss of corrupt power. You'd need to build a Rube Goldberg machine – and this strikes me as decent cog in such a device.
I heard of General Sentiment, it is doing social media analysis, quite interesting. Are these two permanent positions?

You can use the GAE datastore transaction with the web2py DAL but it does not provide an API with it, you have to use the GAE function for the transaction and than inside you can use DAL syntax. DAL automatically creates one cursor for you per http request. Each request has its own. It does not provide APIs to make your own cursors.

Factual aims to be the place where people meet to share, improve, and mash-up data. Our vision is to be an awesome and affordable data provider for startups and developers, so that they can focus on innovation instead of data acquisition.

We have a terrific team that is still fairly small, and an incredible CEO (he was the co-founder of Applied Semantics, which was sold to Google and became AdSense). We recently raised a Series A from Andreessen-Horowitz, and our customers and partners include Facebook, SimpleGeo, and Newsweek. We have lots of challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, deduping, storage, serving, APIs, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be.

Ideally you know Java, Clojure, and/or Ruby, and you'll get bonus points for experience with machine learning, NoSQL, algorithms, infrastructure, and/or Hadoop.

Anyway--I've worked at a start up, and at several larger companies. I think the feeling of not having anything to do isn't a function of the environment you're in, but how your position was created in the first place. If it's a structured internship, you'll definitely have something to do.

More, I feel at a start up, more than elsewhere, you need to prove that you're not a total moron before you'll get any real work; once you do that, you start getting a lot more responsibility.

Loved it. Everyone needs a sanity check from time to time.
The question is whether they would be able to hang onto the content, at a reasonable rate. Remember, Hulu is not a startup it is owned by the content distributors themselves. For sure Google will be charged more than the guys are charging themselves right now. And even now Hulu isn't making a very good ROI.

I'm not rooting against Google, if they can integrate it with their other offerings in a way that adds value, more power to them.
