Hipsterdom has thoroughly penetrated software engineering. The underlying theme is that some person thinks he's too cool/intelligent/noble for [something everyone else wants]. Rejecting something scarce and highly selective, employment at aforementioned companies, also suggests some level of sour grapes.

It's not clear that Apple's particularly concerned with jailbreaking; instead, they want to ensure that:

1. They patch the bugs that, e.g., allow jailbreaking through a webpage or pdf (since those are genuine bugs could be used maliciously).

2. A device comes locked "out of the box", and can only run signed code (so that the vast majority of people need to use the App store).

3. They don't have to support jailbroken devices (so if you install an app on your jailbroken phone that doesn't play nice, it's not their problem).

Nope, no CSS template, just raw code. A lot of it is CSS3, and LESS (http://lesscss.org/) makes coding it all much quicker.
Why, when I was a young programmer we had to write the code in the snow with our pee, and a compiler was just a word for the pilot of the hovering dirigible that read the instructions and passed them to the ALU, which was another fellow with an abacus. They would wrap the results around a rock, and drop it on my house when the program would exit. We had to walk uphill...
The average CPC for last month was around $4.21. The conversion rate was around 4.86%. I don't feel comfortable giving away the CLV, but it's considerably higher than the cost of acquisition.

Is there no practical way to reduce this by using unit tests? I understand if you're doing UI tweaks but otherwise it seems far more efficient to do targeted testing.

PBworks is hiring a VP of Engineering!

PBworks is looking to hire a world-class VP of Engineering to direct, manage, and grow our engineering team at PBworks and join a great management team. Candidates should have knowledge and experience with Software-as-a-Service best practices and methodologies, such as frequent deploys, functional testing, and automated rollbacks. Candidates should have at least five years of management experience but still be active programmers with code-review and prototyping level strengths in a modern scripting language (such as Ruby, Python, or PHP) as well as fluency in modern HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Strong preference will be given for LAMP stack proficiency. Extra consideration will be given to candidates with experience hosting software for very large clients and candidates with UX skills.

Candidate should have experience building and executing effective agile product development and project management strategies, and continuing to build a top-notch, highly, innovative team. Experience with workspaces and team collaboration software in general and PBworks in particular is a strong plus. Master's in Computer Science preferred.

You'll be in charge of one of the most powerful, scalable, popular, and sophisticated hosted collaboration tools in existence: with over 4m users a month, hundreds of terabytes of user data, billions of recorded actions, and a million and a half groups. Our team is small but highly effective; every engineer in the group is capable of working on a wide diversity of projects - from low level systems debugging to SQL optimization, to best practices in modern Javascript and CSS. You'll be redefining the future of how our customers get their work done - everything from collaborative medicine to treat cancer patients to innovative creative teams shaping the next great TV commercial or videogame to university research labs, and even a few un-stodgy law firms.

We'd love to have you come help our team win and grow!

To apply, email jobs-vpeng+hn@pbworks.com.
I hope this leads to some positive changes at instructables.

I've found it a harder and harder to navigate the site, with advertisements and "sign up for premium" type messages everywhere. The amount of advertising, when you are not logged in as a pro member, is insane. Also, the interfaces for posting content feel quite old school, and the last time I posted an instructables I was so frustrated I swore it would be my last. I love the goal and mission of the site but for the last few years it's almost unusable. I wonder if this purchase will breath new life to the site.

PBworks is hiring a Web Software Engineer!

We're counting on you to make a big difference in our product. It's not just an opportunity to make an impact at PBworks, it's a responsibility. Millions of people will be using your code.

You're a jack of many trades: you know your way around a Linux command line and Firebug with equal aplomb; Javascript optimizations and SQL optimizations (and when you shouldn't yet bother with them); the design of MVC frameworks and visual design with CSS. You know how to make something beautiful and approachable soup-to-nuts. You've coded a few projects of your own, maybe some of them have even made the front page of Hacker News, but you're curious to jump into an existing small team that actually has millions of users and do some real, helpful work.

Fluency in: HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3, JSON, jQuery, PHP, MySQL, git

Bonus for: node.js, Erlang, Perl, bash, Photoshop, Smarty, Prototype, mogilefs, memcached

You love: Agile, unit testing, functional testing, rapid prototyping.

To apply, email jobs-fwe+hn@pbworks.com.
I think this would mostly amount to the same thing as abolishing patents. Whenever a big company wanted to do something, it could create a new, small, special-purpose company--which just happens to have employees that used to work for the big company, who are paid exactly the same as they were before, and which shares an office with and gets funded by the big company, and so on--to develop the new product. It'd license all of its existing patents to the small company, too [actually, that'd be unnecessary, if the small company has opted out of the patent system]. And maybe the small company would refrain from applying for a patent on anything, but it'd allow the big company (exclusively) to learn what it does, and the big company would apply for (and get) the patents. Only the patents wouldn't do much good, because other companies that followed this strategy would probably be invulnerable to patent lawsuits.
Absolute worst case scenario, just put it back.
For almost any nonessential item, no one knows what they want until they see it. That might be seeing it when you are walking around a store, seeing your friend who had it, or seeing an ad for it on google but no one would ever think "I need an XBox360" if they have literally never heard of it.

There are rare exceptions, eg someone is hiking and their toes are too cold and they think "I wish I had boots that would keep my toes warmer", then they go find an item that matches that, but I think that is a tiny percentage of the purchases.

Apparently, he's a man who develops software for a proprietary, patent-encumbered platform owned by a company who uses patents offensively. Presumably it's acceptable to use iPatents predatorily because they're broadly linked to a gadget he likes. Or maybe this is just how you think different.

However the Chrome pop-up has a tendency to obscure useful page content, especially on (oh, irony) Google docs.

I much prefer a devoted status bar. OTOH, I have a WUXGA screen (1920x1200) so I have less need to obsess over vertical screen space.

The rise of so-called "HD" screens is one of the tragedies of modern computing that ranks up there with Comic Sans.
I have to agree here, contract law is going to be more straight forward than trying to deal with use of the DMCA. You could probably use it after the fact, but you would still be better to argue your case for a verbal contract. You can prove ownership, the business can prove payment if they have made any. The trick on a verbal contract will be proving the meeting of the minds that you had an agreed upon number and that that number was not paid to you. If you receive 50% up front the other party could argue that, that amount was the agreed to amount. In a situation like that it is almost better to not be paid at all, because you can prove that their was no consideration and therefore no meeting of the minds. Remember something in writing, no matter how crappy it is, is better than nothing in writing. Even if it is:

I am going to build an application for X and X will pay me Y the ownership of the software will transfer to X when Y is paid in full.

If he has philosophical disagreements with Apple's hardware/software model, why would he stop? Sure the government has one of his aliases, but he can always change to another one. He shouldn't; but, if he truly believes that iPhones should be jailbroken, he may either: refuse the offer, or continue to write jailbreaking software despite the consequences.

I don't know. But it would be wrong to assume that it is impossible, and thus to ignore any evidence that might say otherwise.

How many other sex scandals do you think have occured in high offices, and were never discovered by the public? I'm sure there are some that weren't discovered until much later: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_political_scand...

And additionally, there have been examples of the US military keeping large secrets for decades. One example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_incident

So why does it seem impossible that there is more to the story about 9/11 and Osama bin Laden than is being reported by the US gov? (especially when there is evidence which raises unanswered questions or pokes holes in the official stories)
