This has been done in the past but by digging through CEOs' history. For example a good number of them put fake school credentials on their resume.

Someone would go to the university and search their records and sometimes find CEOs lied. He then would take a short position in company's stock (if publicly traded) and release the info. Sure enough, the stock would drop, and he would gain. SEC didn't like but I think the was nothing they could do as it was technically public information.

Or if it is our own project simply decide not to support them and take a hit on who can see our website. For most things I've done I'd rather do this than properly support IE6.
Except we haven't even seen TM2 yet. It could be a more svelte, nematodeine, feature-less slice of software. Just because it's taken half an eon for even the beta announcement to come to fruition doesn't mean it's a bloat-ware type scenario. At least I hope it isn't.

Its damn near meta-tragic. Bright people thinking up things that they are going to actively prevent from being invented.
"Working Draft. Microsoft has committed to supporting standards, as soon as they are standards."

As you can see in the example pixelcloud cites, Microsoft does in fact implement features based on working drafts. They are already doing this with CSS3 transforms and will be doing so with CSS3 gradients, animations, transitions and flexbox. Therefore, that doesn't actually appear to be the issue at all.

"It's certainly arguable whether it's a good idea to implement draft standards that people write HTML for that then change under them."

Well, we are discussing CSS here, and that's what vendor prefixes (which Microsoft uses, too) help avoid.

"So they codified something that Mozilla and Apple were already doing,"

This is basically how the CSS3 standard progresses. Browser vendors implement a vendor-prefixed feature, and that feature works its way through the standards process. In fact, Microsoft does the same: http://caniuse.com/css-grid
Neat analogy, but in this case the "old computer" is far more powerful.

Like many news organizations, Newsweek had a longstanding ethics policy that expressly forbid reporters from accepting flights, hotel accommodations and merchandise in exchange for coverage. But current and former Newsweek staffers who worked alongside Mr. Guo said that during his tenure at Newsweek International, Fareed Zakaria changed that policy, specifically for reporters working on The Good Life section.

“It just begs the question, why did Fareed implement these new rules?” said a current Newsweek employee who worked alongside Mr. Guo. “Nobody objected, because Jerry filed good copy. It seems crazy now, but he basically just played within the absurd rules of the time.
Ask HN: How do you get recruited?
It seems like a common theme when I read threads about jobs/pay:

1) Most people agree that $40,000 a year is barely 'minimum wage' when it comes to programming of any sort.

2) Recruiters are always bugging them.

3) Right now is the 'hot market' for developers.

So what's a developer to do if they are making 'minimum wage' in the programmer's Bull Market? How does one get so lucky to have the problem of people calling them up for better jobs?

It's worse than that. The goal is to create buzz for the sake of creating buzz... the problem with marketers is that they can only hold one or two buzz-words in their head at a time, and to them it's all "what those crazy hip programmers are working on in our basement, while I'm up here looking at chicks out the window". A lot of books will be sold about HTML5 and a lot of dumb sites will claim to be using it, and pretty soon when everyone's incredibly annoyed by all the HTML5 junk content out there, the marketers will realize no one actually gave a shit in the first place, find a new buzzword, and the world will move on.

I bet if Adobe changed the name of Flash 11 tomorrow to "HTML6", the marketers would go crazy for it. So would all the idiots who have no idea how web is made, but come out in armies anytime HTML5 comes up.

It's rarely all-or-nothing. For me "not supported" means that the site wasn't extensively tested on a given browser or it doesn't offer full experience, not that it doesn't work at all. Another issue is whether those enterprise IE6 users are really the target audience of your startup.

Anyway, it seems like we both agree that it should be a deliberate decision.

> Apple corp gave Xerox a large chunk of Apple stock in exchange for a license to build on the work that Xerox had done.

The article mentions Apple gave Xerox stock options they could use on Apple's IPO.

> I've used an Alto and a Star (yes, I'm that old) and to call them a "GUI" isn't appropriate, given that they didn't' have real windows, etc.

That's weird. I know the Alto ran Smalltalk, which had overlapping Windows, but nothing like icons, a desktop entity or dragging stuff (not even the scrollbars were draggable - you had to click their sides for them to go up-down). IIRC, there was another environment that didn't have Windows (I remember seeing the Bravo text editor and a dual-pane file manager) and they were popular because the Alto ran them faster ST80.

As for the Star, it seems there are videos that document a more or less complete GUI with overlapping windows, draggable stuff, select-then-act semantics and so on.

Unless my memory fails me, the Lisa introduced the menu bar on the top, the trashcan and some dragging semantics that were not present on the Star. The folks at Digibarn have, AFAIK, a functioning Dandelion and can, probably, clear this up.
The macbook I use cost about the same as my current monthly salary and is probably equivalent to 4-6 months of discretionary spending. It's not technically mine, either. It belongs to the company I work for.

This seems like a good idea to me. Just have part of the upgrade process be a text box that says something like: "Please enter how much you would like to pay for the upgrade. As promised, this upgrade is free if you want it to be, but if you think Textmate is worth it, please consider paying an appropriate amount."

That way people who can't afford it or otherwise feel entitled to the free upgrade can get it free, and all the moderately wealthy developers who use Textmate every day and can afford it can be guilted into supporting development.
It's plainly obvious that I'm thinking of the entire economic history of the United States.

If you think this recession is bad, look at recessions before modern economic theory came about. That's what I'm trying to get at.

It makes absolutely no sense to throw out sound, proven macroeconomic theory because of a regulatory experiment gone wrong. I'd say it was that macroeconomic knowledge that prevented that mess from being a total disaster. And now people want to throw that economic knowledge out in favor of ridiculous shit like the gold standard, or MORE deregulation, or on the left twisted ineffective versions of laborism, or whatever. Bleh.

Yeah the article said that they charge on a variable price for the electric and say that it's on average cheaper than the electric company.

Two days just to get used to it. On and off experimentation for the right set of plugins, eventually getting a good vimrc. A very long time before you get proficient.

A hyperbole, no doubt, but vim is way harder to use than TM.
Sometime I don't understand people that use Vim for everything.

I used Vim casually so I'm not an expert. I understand that it'll take a while to master it. But compare to netbeans where you can navigate Ruby code quite fast (shortcut to method implementation, class implementation, project browse, auto-suggest, etc), why would I want to use Vim when I have to find the proper plugins (not just one, but a few) before I can be productive (assuming they can do what I mentioned above).

300% ROI for 10 years is about a 11.6% annual ROI... pretty much guaranteed. I have a feeling that companies will be springing up that match up investors who want that kind of a low-risk ROI (almost everybody) with people who want solar power on their roofs for free, with similar electric bills as they're paying now (also almost everybody in much of the continental US).

This is why solar power will quickly dominate soon, IMO.
It's difficult to tell whether you're trolling or if you seriously don't realize where exactly you're arguing from.

It's absolutely mundane to have more desirable options than honoring prior commitments. This is true in business, in friendship and even in love. If this weren't the case what would the rational be for people to make commitments and hold each other to them? Surely you can see that there are ideals beyond being "more rational" and breaking one's word at any point it becomes inconvenient?

Just happened to a few friends of mine. They were pretty "anti-social-media sites", but I convinced them to set up a LinkedIn profile (as public as I could get them to set the privacy settings) and an about.me page... and set up reciprocal links between the two. They fully fleshed out their profile on LI including the technologies in which they are well versed. They happened to live outside of a hot market, but were looking to move to one, and they set their location as the hot market. Within a few days, they had a few recruiters that had reached out and several job interviews lined up or in progress. All this happened within the span on a couple of weeks. I'm not saying it's a recipe for success for everyone; the people I'm talking about are seriously amazing developers, with skill sets that reach far beyond just writing code.

Edit: I'm not a recruiter, but I'd be happy to take a look at your LI/A.me pages if you decide to set them up and give you feedback.

You can give it a quick try using Bitnami (its free, I am one of the developers) http://bitnami.org/stack/piwik It includes Piwik and all of its dependencies (Apache, MySQL, PHP) into a single, easy to use installer, vmware vm or amazon machine image. In particular the AMI is very popular together with the Amazon free tier because you can have a free micro instance running all the time with Piwik (which you want if you are using it to run analytics on your production servers)

It's sad, because I remember when the name meant something else, but... I just wouldn't trust Google with my files. By which I mean, I wouldn't trust that I wouldn't wake up one day and find myself locked out of Google Drive with no way back. I don't trust their user interface not to accidentally delete things, either. Google manages to give the appearance of this mysterious Tronlike glowing entity that occasionally spins off new automatic services, but not in a way that gives you the impression that this glowing manifestation of Google has ever talked with a user.

Maybe you should stick to articulating your own opinions, rather than expanding on another's for him? I don't care if people play whatever rubbish issues forth from the bowels of Zynga's marketing department, but I'm not going to celebrate it in the name of getting more people playing games, either. At any rate your beef seems to be that I commented at all, or that you think I was rude, or just that I posted something you don't wholly agree with, or that I was criticizing someone's 'comment style' whatever that means (I think the pot might be calling the kettle black on that one). Not sure really what your problem is with me personally but my patience for your pointless sniping has worn thin so I think I'll conclude with 'fuck you' and be done with it.
Maybe maintaining someone else code is not something that this particular crowd prefer?

Thanks for the clarification. I did think the Firefox update was automatic, but I think I confused myself by doing it manually today.

My main point was really meant to be the UAC, since it was a bit jarring to see today (First upgrade on Win7; just bought this computer a month ago). I'm glad to see that this is being looked into.

On the bright side, I had absolutely no issues with add-on compatibility this time around. In the old days, I would wait a while - sometimes literally months - before upgrading, because of issues with add-ons I considered "important". I actually ended up backing up my profile before any upgrades, and often had to roll back the version. I didn't even think of that today, I just clicked apply and everything worked. It's a serious improvement.
