Johnny Depp once said that he would like his children "to see America as a toy, a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out." This is what, we learn again, is what happens when you let greed be the highest goal. Americans are on the Pequod and its thirst for the white whale of financial gain has brought it inexorably to its ill-fated end.

There's a lot of focus on the Euro zone right now, for good reason, but the wealthiest countries in the world are all in Europe -- and they're doing fine. They're also all steeped in a tradition of social programs and tax structures to make sure that greed doesn't get the upper hand. It's no coincidence.

300 million won't leave America. Most can't. Try to move to, say, a European country as an American and you will be shown the door. Leaving isn't an option.

The only option is to affect political change: Eliminate Congress and move to a direct democracy; dilute the powers of the president. Take control again. It's simply ours for the taking. Simply stop the economy from working until these changes take place. Stop protesting -- asking for what's yours. Take it. Park in a busy intersection in your home town; stall at a toll booth. Take some friends and hold up the subway at rush hour, every day. Go on strike. Stop protesting and begging. Shut it down -- and they will beg you.
I know a fair amount about IQ, having studied it a bit, and I'm surprised. IQ correlates pretty strongly, with law abiding behavior, at the very least, not going to jail. High IQ people are less socially dysfunctional than average and low IQ people, eg see the table here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Curve

As for the sex difference between men and women of high IQ, fewer women in general do drugs, so it's easier for high IQ women to rack up a higher multiple of drug use over their average IQ female counterparts.

I looked at the Psychology Today/Kanazawa link, and it says that the relationship is insignificant in America. I.e., the relationship between childhood IQ and drug use is a British phenomenon. Maybe the intelligent are more decadent in Britain? If Kanazawa represents the data accurately, this whole IQ-drugs relationship is BS, in the American setting. Bye bye grand social theorizing.

> How about alcohol?

From the article:

> The lead researcher says he isn't surprised by the findings. "Previous research found for the most part people with high IQs lead a healthy life, but that they are more likely to drink to excess as adults," says James White a psychologist at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom.

What the article doesn't explore is the fact that drugs are expensive; isn't it possible that drug use is correlated with revenue?

The study apparently didn't make a difference between addicts and occasional users.

IQ is also correlated with revenue (probably because that's what it actually measures: socio-economic class), and so that may be a part of the explanation, at least for "recreational" drugs.

I agree with the notification problem, although I don't think it's to do with caching local state; it just doesn't seem to register that the notification has been seen until I actually click on the red square. It's more annoying than I would have thought, really.

Can I Get an Exception To The Citizenship Test
The 3 M's of Marketing Success
You missed the point of the essay, playing cards or watching tv is compared to spending money on luxuries and doing busywork is compared to investment. The first two probably won't respectively take up ALL your time at the office or bankrupt you because they are both obviously BAD FOR YOU (in excess). The latter two can be perniciously compelling, even though they might respectively bankrupt you or waste all your time, because you're more easily fooled (by yourself or others) into thinking they're worthwhile.
>>I think startup politics generally reflects the power structure surrounding it; whether that be founders or investors that hold a relatively big stake in an organization, or the society surrounding it.

Its not about who holds power or has a bigger stake. Its just that people need to stick to the promises made and pay up as agreed. Beyond that its your usual economics.

Just because investors have put in the money its no reason for them or a senior executive who just joined the company and realized cheating developers on equity can help him earn another millions during the IPO, gets a chance to redefine what meritocracy according to him is. And its no reason, to suddenly consider all developer contribution useless without any merit to deserve stocks and that only some one with a Business designation next to their names are the only ones to deserve stock.

No, what the OP and I have criticized them for is not releasing the code for 4. If you are unable to understand this, that is your problem. Google have done good.

You'll want to delete this post and re-post it tomorrow morning some time. Like 8am PST. There just aren't enough US users on right now to get a reaction. In the mean time fill out the "about" section in your profile with a short bio and list some places you can be contacted at outside of HN (Twitter, Facebook, a blog?). In the next post, try to talk a little more about the product. That's all we really care about. Don't worry about telling your idea to people. You've got the vision, the work done (mockups, think-time, etc.), and a head start.

We're used to being approached by non-developers about work and they all have the next big idea so if you want to hook a passionate developer you should give us something to chew on.

I'm rather more grateful for all the work Google have done here after using Diaspora; the one thing that nags me about that more than anything is how much slower than G+ or Facebook it is. A couple of seconds on each click really breaks the whole experience.
Sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, the API and online doc are not cutting it - I start wondering why it doesn't work the way I'd expect it to, and from there I have multiple options, from StackOverflow to Google Groups to ordering a book on Amazon.com, and this is the true productivity killer because of, you know, the internet.

The definitive and fastest answer will always come from reading and understanding the source code, as I don't have to hope that someone had the same problem I'm having and someone else had an answer, or that someone will reply to my question before I give up. Eclair, Froyo and Gingerbread sources were enough for 99% of my needs though, but there was always this shadow of doubt for Honeycomb-specific features...

For the most part, having the latest source readily available will greatly reduce the amount of open browser tabs, and for that I'm thankful :)

"IQ is also correlated with revenue (probably because that's what it actually measures: socio-economic class)"

False. Charles Murray compared brothers of the same household of different intelligence levels, and found significant disparities in income.

http://www.eugenics.net/papers/murray.html (article originally appeared in The Telegraph)

It's more accurate to say socioeconomic class measures IQ, rather than the other way around. To oversimplify, high IQ people are more productive, IQ at adulthood is heritable to a great extent (~80% of variation in IQ is due to genetic variation), so 1 + 1 = rich families have higher IQ children. Imagine if people were paid based on how tall they are, and replace IQ with height, and it'd be the same -> Tall parents + high heritability for height -> rich families have taller offspring. People don't recognize this with regards to IQ because they ultimately don't believe IQ is highly heritable, which it is.

jQuery abstracts DOM weirdness across browsers. Learning plain JavaScript will give you a deeper understanding of why jQuery does certain things. Using node.js on the backend will allow you to transfer your JS skills over.

Regarding HTML and CSS, your best best when starting is to use a quick framework to get you up and running. I’d suggest Twitter’s Bootstrap: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ . End of the day you’re going to have to learn them yourself though. You can make things much easier for yourself by restricting your browser compatibility.

Master Hypnotherapy Eric Siregar. www.ericsiregar.com
I'm totally with you. After I've aquired a smartphone (HTC Desire), I've come to the conclusion that the only thing that touchscreens are good for is scrolling. I hate writing on it, I hate pushing buttons and links, I hate that the virtual objects that I interact with gets occluded by my fingers, I hate that I have to hold my phone in awkward ways so I don't accidentally "push" virtual "buttons". Many of these irritations stem from the fact that the interface has no tactile feedback, and does not respond to different levels of pressure (like ordinary buttons).

Touchscreens are a regression in user interfaces, and I hope that the future will bring a comeback of more tactile input devices, like keyboards.

Guy lives in the Stone Age and he is progress proof.
I sat awkwardly around for a year and courted two technical co-founders..the first left to take his dream job with one of the valley hottest start ups. The other decided his own project took precedence, for good measure..its a good one.

But there I sat. Idea fleshed out..and I was ready ready to sell it.

I finally finally took option 2. I understand code and can manipulate wordpress enough to get by, but it certainly isn't my strength. I searched forums and reached out the top commenters and contributors of one in particular. Out of the 3 folks I connected with 1 was a fit. In four hours, he had the previously crafted code live on the net for us to refine.

I plan to be to market in a couple months and could not be happier. I enjoy paying my developer exactly what he wants and look forward to making him a partner sooner than later, if he wants.

The proof is in the pudding.

There are three parts to Siri:

1. Speech-to-text (parent has it backwards but that's what he means, obviously)

2. Text-to-intent (referred to by parent as NLP)

3. Intent-to-API calls

Obviously, (1) happens in the cloud and (3) happens on the device. It is still unclear where (2) happens but if the cloud service only responds with text, it seems that (2) happens on the device.

And (2) is still a hard problem by itself.
That is probably not in Google's hands to change. It's the same with the vendor-supplied GPU drivers in desktop Linux as well.

Right. Now _that_ totally makes sense.

They disabled the page and asked for his ID (okay, your defense, works until now). They got his ID, which according to the article lists a different first name and Salman as a middle name.

Now how can you explain the following discussion? At this point the owner of the account formerly known as Salman Rushdie provided (state issued, no less..) evidence of being that guy - but Facebook claims he has to use the first name listed on the ID instead?

It worked out in the end, but your explanation falls short. The biggest WTF (if we ignore the idea that you should provide a copy of any ID to a site that is used for Mafia Wars and things of similar importance) is the requirement to stop using his middle name.

Even if he _weren't_ the author publishing as "Salman Rushdie" and just some random guy named "Ahmed Salman Rushdie" he should be allowed to go as "Salman Rushdie". Even with a brain-dead real name policy in place. That is his real name.

(Granted: In that case he arguably still shouldn't be allowed to pose as the author. But that's a different problem)
I can say with some confidence that an open source baseband will never happen. The carriers won't allow it, and there is good (technical) justification for that. Basically, it is easy to mess up some "tiny" detail of the standard, and disrupt the local network for all nearby users. The compliance testing needed for any phone is huge and expensive.

Sorry, but I don't get this. If I want to switch tags in the source HTML then I would use Find/replace in my IDE or text editor. If I want to do something interesting with HTML tags live in the client browser then I would probably use the jQuery resources.

Maybe this is just some sort of demo of regular expressions - in which case it is mis-posted to HN.
So if I find your account and get a couple of people to flag it as fake/being an imposter..

.. would you still defend this sorry excuse of a vague and mostly unenforced policy?
My guess is that Apple will ban an ID after a day or two. My other guess is that you can just keygen the ID.

I have also heard, a number of times now, that a lot of smart people use drugs because it "makes people more interesting", which is probably code for "I numb my own brain to be able to strike a casual conversation". (My primary example would be having this as a direct quote by Christopher Hitchens. I seem to also recall that there was a House MD episode of a genius putting himself on a controlled substance to be a little more numb because he would otherwise scare away the girlfriend that he loved with his rambling mind.)

So yes, some people might be searching for a thrill because what they are supposed to do does not deliver that. But others just really want to "be normal" and drugs are a quick way to get there, strangely.
That's the entire point. If incognito mode didn't exist, the user would clear their history and cookies instead, probably deleting cookies for 'clean' as well as 'dirty' sites.

Your comment is purely academic at its best and pretentious at its worst.

There is a good real life problem for jQuery style and your so called anti patterns are in fact the main feature and sole point of existence for jQuery.

Once could argue that jQuery God object replaces not one half assed implementation of DOM God object, but at least four (IE DOM, FF DOM, WebKit DOM, Opera DOM).

I agree that in a fair world jQuery wouldn't even exist. Any problems that it brings to the table I will gladly solve, sice my brain has a lot of better stuff to do than to memorize all the bugs and quirks of all the stupid browser engines out there.

So while you real developer bunch smugly program your assembly, I will gladly carry the flag of an untermensch programmer and just ship the goddamn product. I know my co-workers and clients like me for not coming up with a new framework for every job I do.

Boredom has probably something to do with it.
And herewith another example of history repeating itself.

If we make the assumption that:
- The vision of Web 1.0 (mid- to late 90's) was Web 3.0 (the modern web app).
- Web 2.0 really just evolved the technologies and tools.

During the 90's we deplored thick client apps. We had 2/3/n tier on the desktop, and we wanted web apps.

Now, 15 years later, we're building 2/3/n tier apps in the browser - but we make the same architectural mistakes we made with thick clients, we ignore user control and consent, we expose devices to all sorts of attacks that don't exist in thick client apps...

That's hard-core irony, right there.
However by using hashbang URLs, you have to keep that little snippet of JavaScript forever to maintain permalink even after the web has moved on to another solution.
