Medical care in the European Union (in general) is free. Money is recouped by higher taxation on all people, as if they bought into a country-wide policy.

I think we well understand what is meant by "free". It is usually contrasted by the US system in which emergency care is 'free' if you have no garnishable income or property to take.
The form factor was a little funky, yes. It was thinner than anything else at the time. And PDF support was an omission that increased the polish, not detracted from it. Reading PDF on a e-ink screen is a horrible experience, adding it was a compromise.

a) If this noise is actually going to help educate people on what this law could potentially do (and therefore prevent it from becoming reality), then you might be right.

b) This isn't even about SOPA anymore. It's about a shitty registrar and their shitty business practices.
Will be presenting at the NY Tech Meetup on Jan 4th...Need Feedback
Hey guys i am the founder of Deaftel and got invited to speak at the New York Tech Meetup this january 4th.

Deaftel is a phone service for the deaf, hard of hearing and speech impediments. It converts a hearing persons voice into text and sends that text response to a deaftel users smartphone. He/She can then type back their response and deaftel converts that into voice and plays that for the hearing person on the other side of the phone.

I made a quick demo of the service here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK4IvZdwQ5o

Would love to get some feedback on the best way to present it.

Wait, what? Those SDKs are a part of the Facebook platform... we kinda need them to integrate FB into our apps.

Ask PG: Can we get notifications for when someone replies to our comments?
It's a bit bothersome to have to check the "threads" page to see if anyone replied to my comment. Is it possible to get a "notifications" link in the breadcrumbs that lets us know of any replies to comments? I would have written a plugin to do it but I view this site a lot on my phone so I can't do much about it there.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Go Daddy realizes it perfectly well the part Reddit played in this whole fiasco and how much of an effect it can potentially have in the future for its business, so it's very, very difficult to buy that this isn't a calculated PR move.

Everything from a delicately created image of a conscientious, personable, diligent, innocent worker who is ... well, just reiterating everything that has been said in the past by Go Daddy's official blogs and elsewhere (a back story to Parson killing the elephant that you don't know about, assurances that Go Daddy doesn't support SOPA, an acutely indifferent, and sometimes slightly apologetic explanation for the sexist ads--'they work!') ... to being aware of all the nuanced mannerisms compatible with Reddit's culture and playing them the right way. This is really actually their best damage-controlling PR move on this thing.

Namecheap: December 29th - Move Your Domain Day
Because startups typically have a lot of "issues" that are much closer to their business that they need to pay attention to, and can't afford to waste attention on bills that are only tangentially related to them. When you're two breaths away from dying, you pay attention to not dying in two breaths, not to not dying in a couple of years.

SOPA is pretty bad. It will kill a large number of startups should it pass. But running out of cash, or not building a product, or not finding any users for that product will kill a large number of startups way before SOPA can. That's why it's fallen largely on established businesses to fight SOPA.
In my experience, people who can't accept that others might hold beliefs that differ from theirs for good reasons are giant assholes.
Interesting to see the sponsors and their distribution on a map.

They also don't type on computers during interviews, which I doubt is something specific to engineering. My interviewers took notes, copied down what I wrote on the whiteboard, and then (apparently) later entered all of this into the computer system.

As for the questions, they certainly don't ask any that are in the article. Steve Yegge's article covers the exact category of questions they ask:

http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-that-job-at-goog...

I don't remember the exact questions I was asked, and signed about 80 pieces of paper saying I would Never Speak Of Them, but they are of the style where you must know X and then use pieces of X to solve completely unrelated problems. (X could be, for example, quicksort.) Graphs, algorithms, and data structures are essential, but nobody is going to ask you "implement a binary tree"; that is way too easy to study for. (I'm guessing that discrete math questions are also common; but because of the position I was interviewing for, they replaced those with testing and refactoring questsions. Which was good, because I was never good at discrete math.) I had not seen any of the questions they asked before, and two of them were interesting enough to keep me thinking about them for several days. (I was disappointed to discover, while implementing my solution to one, how easy it is to brute-force problems involving English words. There just aren't very many words. But the idea is what counts, and brute-force is not going to get you hired :)

Since I've been hired by Google, people have pointed me at a lot of "popular media" articles or videos about Google, and not many have matched my experience, but then again, I haven't actually started work yet.

(The linked article also talks about Bank of America intervewing, which doesn't have a standardized process. I know because I worked there and asked different questions, 100% chosen by me, every time I interviewed someone. So while one person at Bank of America may have asked "What animal are you?", that's not some sort of company policy. So it's a bit disingenuous of the article to name-drop Bank of America there.)

1. Good Question. I (and a lot of others around here, I think) 'jump' head first into projects on our own all the time, and stay totally committed for like the first week. I've got a long list of projects and concepts and a boat load of code that faded into oblivion. I'm hoping that working as a group might keep the momentum going until something is actually produced. Working with a bunch of folks I just met seems like a lot of fun, and they aren't totally random; we at least have HN in common.

2. True, but I think for the sake of this exercise, something should be achievable.

> And regarding satellite view, how would you even imagine volunteers making satellite images?

Across the world, I can't answer. Here in Western Australia, one of the largest single states in the world, there's been digital mapping for two decades now, predating the rise of Google maps.

Data from MODIS satellites is downloaded direct from the sats as they pass overhead and streamed to those with an interest. The better quality data comes from the aerial surveys performed each and every summer over populated areas which produce several thousand digital scans of wet negatives (they may have recently moved to high res digital in the planes, I've been out of the details for a few years).

Google didn't develop their mapping tech initially, they purchased the starting technology from Keyhole, a US based company (iirc), it's worth noting that several international companies had equal or better offerings that were considered including our locally developed technology from ermapper which is now owned by Lecia.

http://www.erdas.com/company/news/newsreleases/07-05-21/Leic...

As for volunteer contributions it's been our experience that if you provide data access and annotation tools then many competent people that care about ground accuracy (forestry services, land owners, search & rescue, exploration crews, etc) will happily add value.
A lot of what the author complains about has been around for years. Short term gains at the expense of long term growth? Yup. Executives manipulating something to make their company look good? Yup.

Read "The Intelligent Investor" or "Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits", which give examples of things companies did 50 and 30 years ago.
It will probably only be clear with time if this is leading into a bubble or is it just a case of the unsustainable ones losing the race in a bid to capture the rising online market.

State of the art doesn't mean good implementation of state of the art. I personally wouldn't call Scala bad either, but that's another discussion.

This particular story is not about SOPA, it's about one company attacking another company for their business. This is a PR bonanza for Namecheap and they are going to ride it for as long as they can.
Fair enough. But they obviously used Android, so people (including me) expect the tablet to compete with other Android tablets. That's the reason why I don't have one, even if I would only use the Amazon features. (I do own a Kindle, though, because it doesn't promise anything other than "buy books from Amazon.com and read them on an e-ink screen", and that's exactly what I want.)
The headline is a bit misleading as the article spends barely any time with the question.

However there are a few decent reasons: GoDaddy was apparently involved in crafting the bill, GoDaddy apparently is exempt from the bill, GoDaddy wasn't well-liked by the HN/Reddit set in the first place, GoDaddy is one of the more internet-centric companies on the list.

Protesting SOPA
A proof that the Halting Problem is undecidable. By Dr. Suess
Perhaps it's not Scala but the paradigms that define it that are "state of the art". Multiple paradigms like functional programming, OOP, and other nice syntactical things make Scala very much a language of the future, even if its current implementation is poor. It's a marker to where we may be headed in language development.
Yes, it loaded glacially when I tried it, and there was a link begging me to donate for a hardware upgrade. It showed precisely the same wrong location, given a search address, that Google Maps shows - which is pretty impressive if they're somehow not using the same data, there. As for fixing it, fix it yourself. I'm not a cartographer, and I'm not actually interested in this project or in being hectored by someone to pitch in on a project I don't give a damn about.
And with all the cloud stuff nowadays it's actually very, very important. each could go down any day, start charging more any day, or just not be as good as you hoped.. and then a 3 line changes to switch service might just be the difference between dead company and profitable company.
As an absolute first programming language it probably wouldn't be that bad with good instruction.

What you need is a product or service that you can sell. So, probably the first thing you need to do is identify a need with a market. This could be anything from Paypal enabling financial transactions and taking a cut on each transaction to mommy bloggers selling ad space on their blogs.

The right time is now. It doesn't matter where you are at or what you are doing. If you identify a need and you are ready to put in the resources (time and money) to deliver on that need, then act on that. You may not be in a position where you can scale up with staff and funding like a Groupon, but there is probably a lot you could do on your own. At least you could get your ideas to "minimum viable" so that you could dip your toes in your target market and get some feedback.

I think that you will find that the best way to start answering questions is to simply get started. You will make mistakes along the way and you will learn from those mistakes. You will gather information which will allow you to makes changes based on that feedback.

Otherwise, every business opp brings different circumstances. Just do something... NOW!

On the other side, I could just say the exact opposite: I find it infinitely easier when a site supports Facebook authentication. You can't just say "it can also work against you" unless you can show evidence that the target audience of the site, on the balance, will be turned away.

I mean, if we come up with more of these, eventually everyone will find at least one ludicrous. "I for one will NOT use any web site that requires"... "a credit card", "watching advertisements", "authentication of any form", or (probably the only reasonable one ;P) "seeing comic sans".

I never said we would 'require' FB auth. It certainly is one of the options though. One click login, not having to remember a bunch of different passwords and not having to fill out yet another registration form is very compelling for a lot of people.

We also provide enhanced functionality based on the data that is made available to us. We only ask for the minimal set of permissions. As a result, we get the data which I already outlined.

Another option which we are supporting, for people like you who won't use FB, is BrowserID. That system only gives us an email address. So, because the site I'm building requires all of the same data that FB already provides us, we still have to force you through a 'registration' process at some point.

I'm curious, what exactly is your fear of FB auth that prevents you from using it?
