"imagine the uproar if all windows computers came with..."

That's the thing though - all android phones don't come like that. If you wanted an unlocked and clean phone you could have bought one. You made the choice to get a locked down phone filled with crappy carrier apps, in exchange for a lower price. if people had the choice to get a windows PC for $50 in exchange for some preinstalled apps and no admin access, you'd better believe they would. The reason carrier subsidized phones are more popular is that most people dont care. If you care, don't buy a phone you don't like.

I remember when I was participating in start-up weekend, one of the thoughts through my head was whoever the person sitting at the front I'm going to be on their team, whether male or female.

"Fortune favours the bold."[we won]

Why does aggression has to be bad? To me I kinda use it as a filter. I don't think I'm special, and a lot of other people have their radar set to identify aggressive people.
And as to the second point? They admitted as much that men are more likely to negotiate - were those guys that had chosen to negotiate ones that had from the beginning, or ones that were silent and submissive until that point?
Are you male? I never used to, either. Perhaps it's because I was raised by a single mother? :)
A big part of the built-in tools isn't to replace Firebug. It's to provide APIs for Firebug (and other addons!) to be able to do what they do even better.

Addons are loading arbitrary code into your browser though, so there is a potential for perf impact. We're looking at that too, with out-of-process addons (see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/1.3/dev...).

Addons don't in general hurt perf, but it is definitely possible for them to. Firebug, in particular, disables the JIT so it can debug it, making Javascript execution painfully slow, and thus the browser is slow too, since large parts are written in JS. Firebug isn't to blame though; we just haven't provided them with APIs to do better yet.

It'll probably end up being like something that approaches a limit more than exact equality. Five hundred years ago, women were barely better off than slaves. A hundred years ago, they couldn't vote. Fifty years ago, it was still considered impolite for them to have strong political views. Now, they are subtly discriminated against by men in a variety of contexts, but probably less so than at any time before in history. Fifty years from now, if we keep working on it, it'll probably be less. But I have trouble visualizing a model of the human brain where all of that discriminatory behavior is learned. Until we can edit our minds, there will probably still be some inequality.
Long standing favorite anecdote from an article I read in a magazine eons ago:

A woman took a class on assertiveness in the 80's. The instructor was a female nazi-like drill sergeant type. They were expected to practice yelling in people's faces and being super pushy and the like. One day when it came her turn in class to yell at people and all that, the author of the piece said "No, I don't really want to do that. I like being nice to people." She was berated and told how she had no hope of getting anywhere in the world and so on. She continued to politely decline. The instructor finally gave up and moved on. The author quietly gathered her things and left the class, deciding she didn't want to complete the course. As she left, she overheard someone in the back row (who was dutifully waiting their turn to yell at people as they were told to) say "God, what a bitch!"

> I can see how they might think that if they had never been in a position of having it happen to them. If you find yourself doubting this happens, do this: ask ten women you know if they had ever negotiated for something, and what happened when they did. Then draw your own conclusions.

I never negotiated for something work-related, and I'm a man, I've been in the workforce for the last 10 years. My wife negotiates all the time, she works in procurement, it is her job. We've recently split, I left with nothing but the laptop on which I'm writing this comment, and she had to keep all the rest.

Which brings me to part two, the unspoken elephant in the living-room, the fact that women will always be allowed to "win" the kids in a divorce, no matter how hard men will try to win them. I guess that's just compensation.

I think I'm just extremely hard for people to read/guage. So anyone who wants to simplify the matter boils it down to something negative and moves on. I'm multi-cultural. I've traveled. I have an associate of arts in humanities but then my (unfinished) bachelor's is a BS, not a BA (in environmental studies). I also have a certificate in GIS. I'm not easily pigeon-holed and I make a lot of people uncomfortable. Labeling that discomfort in a simple way is likely a defense mechanism for many people.

Edit: Will add that I was a homemaker for a really long time. People seem to think that means I "should" be meeker.

EDIT: please look at the other poll about lobbying the EU
EDIT I just discovered how to create a real poll, you can find it here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3303323

In the latest poll [1] we saw that there are a lot of Europeans on HN, and I guess many of them from the EU. I also noticed a comment [2] from davedx from the Netherlands that said "not being based in the US comes with lots of disadvantages, such as terrible payment gateways, unfriendly tax and small business legislation, and smaller networks of entrepreneurs", and started wondering if in the EU we could, and should, start lobbying the EU Parliament and Commission to get a better environment for (especially web, but not only) startups: eg for payment gateways, only a more harmonized system could make them easier to create. To do so, we would also (need to) build bigger networks of entrepreneurs.

[1] http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=3298905
[2] http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=3300204

So, the question is: Should we start lobbying the EU Parliament and Commission to create a better business environment for startups?

> I think that donor risk is much more important.

It would be important to me certainly, if I was considering donating.

But at the end of the day each person much decide for themself. Just like people decide on a level of risk when accepting a job.

If people are allowed to risk their life on a job to make money, they should be allowed to risk their life to donate tissue to make money.

For donations though, any significant risk is probably not acceptable, which is the current situation.
Hypothetical is the key here. Everyone can dream up a perfect system, but in the real world, it will have to make compromises, which means that it won't be perfect for everyone.

Siri can open my garage door. http://rumsey.org/blog/2011/11/voice-controlled-garage-door/

It's not quite as slick as his solution, but having to say "Text House" in front of commands is a small price, and there's no way Apple can "close the hole" in my case, short of not allowing Siri to send texts. I don't know why they would want to anyway.

Also, the $30 credit Twilio gives just for signing up may last over two years at the rate I actually use it (1 cent per text, $1/mo for the dedicated phone #. $24 for two years plus 300 actual uses at two texts per use since there's a reply sent to each command). So it's nearly free unless I think up some other stuff I want to do with it.

Tax legislation is the domain of national parliaments, not the EU (except for aspects of VAT, anything else?). Tax harmonisation requires a treaty change and agreement from all 27 member states.

On unfriendly legislation --- is this national legislation or EU-wide legislation?

On terrible payment gateways --- why do you think that is? Imperfect implementation of the common market (e.g. unharmonised regulations)? Insufficient competition generally? Something else?

> it is absolutely, unequivocally the case that paying people for blood, plasma, and gamete donations (all of which we do, but we're circumspect about saying so) increases the amount of people who are willing to participate in blood, plasma, and gamete donation.

This is the only problem. It's false. Well ... it might be false. Extrinsic rewards ($10) tend to displace intrinsic rewards (I saved someone's life!).

If the reward is high enough, you will certainly get lots of donors. But if the reward is too high, poor people may get shut out.

Because of the intrinsic reward, it might be better if blood was donated. I'm not so sure about bone marrow though - if there's enough of a shortage (due to it being much harder to donate than blood), then it might be worth it. Poor people won't be able to afford it (or will be really screwed by the costs), but at least some people will get it. And donors won't feel the warm glow of having saved a life, but they will feel the warmer glow of a big fat cheque (as I'm assuming the extrinsic reward will be higher than the intrinsic reward it displaced).

As for organs, you could end the shortage now if you mailed out donation forms, and said that anyone who didn't sign on as a donor (after they don't need the bits, of course) would be shunted to the bottom of the list if they needed one later on.

I think this Bill will be good for the world. By the 'world', I mean anywhere that is not the United States of America.

The US has outsourced it's manufacturing, rationalized retail into behemoth monopolies and completely destroyed it's capital markets with rampant corruption and incompetence.

The ONLY area in which the US still is a leader and an innovator is in the internet/web, and now the US government is planning to destroy that as well.

Soon the rest of the world will be providing all kinds of services to US citizens behind the silicon curtain, to allow them to illicitly access information without fear of censorship or imprisonment.

Alternative DNS, proxies, darknets will spring up in the free world, giving the disenfranchised and repressed USians a voice and access to otherwise subversive websites that have forums with comments.

"The reasons for not open-sourcing the drivers don't make sense to me. "

It makes total sense to me:

1-Every couple of years they can sell you a new card as the one that you have does not work with the new OS.

2-Competitors can not look at the code, understand and copy it, so technology leaders like NVIDIA are not reached by followers without significant investment.

3-Software Patents holders(patent trolls) can not look at the code and demand them exorbitant fees because using a buffer to paint on a computer screen is patented by them. This is very common in the USA and the main reason companies asked me for an NDA if I saw their drivers code.

4-People can not unblock features of cheap cards to make the same things expensive cards does(it is very common to make only one chip to get mass production cost and then to use some cheap hardware or software switch to deactivate features on cheap cards).

5- Video decoding and other stuff could be out sourced to specialist companies that demand their code to be secret by contract.

Rand, why did you choose to use the Hubspot term Inbound Marketing? Inbound Marketing is more often used as a replacement for Market Research. Your definition really means Permission Marketing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permission_marketing

In 2009, Hubspot decided to coin the term Inbound Marketing in a new way so they can claim the space ("first inbound marketing software"). Since then, they changed the entire Google results (starting with Wikipedia) so that they come up on most queries. The rare times I used Inbound Marketing with traditional marketers, they always meant Market Research.

Remove drm m4v
Many guys purchased DRM movies, videos, and TV shows from iTunes music store. Most videos are in M4V format. However, the M4V videos from iTunes, are DRM protected. That means you cannot put the M4V videos to non-Apple devices. If you want to play the videos on other players like Archos, Zen, etc., you need to remove iTunes DRM from M4V and convert iTunes M4V to other video formats like WMV, MP4, AVI, etc. so that you can enjoy those iTunes M4V videos without any limitation.Well, to remove DRM M4V, you must choose a reliable third part DRM removal software which can legally remove DRM protections from M4V videos. Here we highly recommend Aimersoft DRM Media Converter, a fast and handy DRM removal to help you get rid of the M4V protection and convert the M4V videos to any video and audio formats like WMV, MP4, AVI, MP3, etc.
Ask HN: Why are there more clojure jobs than Haskell?
Hi,
My background is in C, Java and Python. Of late, I wanted to learn a functional language and have started learning Haskell. But haskell being what it is and my limited time, it would be quite some time before I can be confident in it. I have been looking at the 'Ask HN: Who is Hiring' http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3300290 nad find that there are more jobs pertaining to clojure than haskell. I'm seeing this pattern often in the industry, though google trends suggests otherwise http://www.google.com/trends?q=clojure%2C+haskell&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=1 . For a mature language like Haskell, one would expect a more widespread adoption. Why is it not so ?
