True. It's nothing special.

However, I do like the simple design, especially the filter options that reflect the interests of the students.

Targeting niche audience might actually get them somewhere.

Digging on the site a little bit deeper, I realize all of the jobs are from big companies. This is hardly helping start-ups or students who want to start one.

Why don't they just build a student entrepreneur networking site? I see a lot more potential in that.

I have no problem with unions as such. However, I do have a problem when they use their concentrated political power to get themselves government favors at the expense of the rest of the country. Bailouts for failing industries and protectionist measures benefit unions while harming the nation as a whole. They expect the Democratic Party to sacrifice the interests of the nation for their benefit, and it looks like they will get their pound of flesh.

In addition, unions have many legal rights outside of a normal, voluntary gathering of people. In many states, they can force new employees of a company to join. Democrats are currently pushing for legislation to eliminate secret ballots for the formation of unions. When employee preferences are no longer secret, they can be coerced and threatened into supporting the union, which should enable Democrats to increase their union base. In addition, unions can force their employers to bargain with them by law, instead of by voluntary agreement by both parties. Federal law prohibits its agencies from paying contractors less than the union price, which is often high above the market price of similar services.

It is no coincidence that heavily unionized sectors of our economy tend to be failing, bloated, and stagnant. The big ones are undoubtedly a negative influence on American society. And they undoubtedly run the economic program of the Democratic Party; it surely isn't run by any coherent economic school of thought that I can recognize.
Who would you want as CIO of the US?
Why did you doubt it?

About a month ago, it became apparent to me that it was going to be a blowout. I've been confident Obama would win for several months...but it wasn't until the desperation in the McCain campaign began to show through so clearly (Palin, in particular), that I realized how badly he was going to lose. As of a few days ago, I was expecting a Reagan-style landslide, and I wasn't disappointed.

And, I question the "America is number 1" assertion. Number 1 in what competition? We're behind in several areas I consider vitally important: economic freedom, freedom of speech, per-capita income, education, and the list goes on...

In Germany if you do an across the board left-shift there's an analogous party structure:

- Social Democrats (Democrats)
- Christian Democrats (Republicans)
- Liberals (Libertarians)
- Greens

(There's also an additional Marixst party.)

Here the Greens and the Liberals (note that "liberal" outside of the US implies classical liberalism) grew up a lot as being a part of main-stream politics. I really wish that were possible in the US because it forces the other points in the political spectrum to actually deal with reality and softens their rhetoric in a pragmatic, but effective way. German Greens nearly as crack-potted as American ones as a result.
Importance of Hiring Freight Audit Company

Most ocean freight companies have all taken steps to becoming ISO-compliant so they can all be of equal standard when it comes to moving your goods

There's some of this in Germany as well. Of the schemes that I've heard (we haven't approached the government backed funding options) was a co-investment scheme, where there's a Berlin-backed investment group that wants to foster innovation in the city, but they only co-invest with private investors. At least in theory the idea sounds great because it keeps much of the decision making in the market, but also sweetens the deal attracting private investment to the city.

Having had my appendix removed last week, I'm really glad I didn't have to rely on any politician to do it.

Unfortunately, making the government responsible for appendix-removal is one of the things which Obama wants to do. Comparing my experiences in US hospitals ("Oh hi, here's a bed and two nurses, your surgeon and his team will be along in ten minutes") to my experiences in Australian hospitals ("Oh hi, here's a wheelchair, please wait here for six hours") I really am not keen to see the US system become more like the Australian one.

Your worlds are clear you do not like how political parties have abused unions. Fair enough. Political parties have abused lots of systems.

I'm not a Democrat. I have never been a member of any political party and hopefully never will. You do seem to have in for the Democrats though. Yes, they are in bed with Union officials and people that abuse the intents of a union. And yes, the Republicans are a bunch of rat bastards as well ;).

I really think that in lieu of the recent Wall Street bailouts and given who benefited, you should go "hawking" your "Democrats give too many handouts" somewhere else. Its falling on deaf ears. I have never heard either party provide a coherent economic plan. And that goes back to Reagonmics. They've have 20++ years to show that "trickle down" does anything but further stretch the socio-economic fabric.

"It seems obvious to me that if the water problem is going to get solved over the next few years, entrepreneurs will have to be the ones to get it done."

That's just absolutely ridiculous. Do you write for The Onion as well?
Here's the thing. Problems that can be solved via software are problems for which we can sit in our bedroom/office/deck on the beach and work out a solution. In fact, with the advent of virtualized servers, we can plan, create, implement and scale these solutions without leaving our chair. Physical problems, such as the water problem, are not so easily solved - you have to deal with people and physical goods and regulations and politics. This means it costs a lot, both in money and in effort - and, as a result, it also means there is an order of magnitude more risk associated with it. Of course, the guy who goes out and solves these problems receives [or should receive] outsized rewards for going where few men dare to go (either monetarily, or in terms of social significance), so there's still a group of people focused on such problems. Maybe not as many as are focused on this tech-Internet stuff, but again - there's simply not the same sort of automated, virtualized systems available to make toying around with such tasks easier.

Also, we haven't even begun to discuss the high level of social skill needed in order to successfully execute an on-the-ground, real-world, third-world venture; I'm personally not sure I would put awkward geeks in charge of such a thing. (And yes, I'm making a gross generalization, but it's 4:00am, so cut me some slack!)
The unions have been fading, though. Under Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and onwards

I'd rather have weak, declining unions than strong anti-science conservatives like Ms. Palin running loose.
Every so often, the political party landscape has changed in the US. Perhaps we will see the start of one of these periods as the Republican party might choose to "return to their base" and thus exit the middle. Assuming the Democrats ALSO return to the base (rather than perform a New Labor), the middle will be unsupported by either party.

Get enough frustrated people and change might occur. Get them frustrated long enough and change will occur.
No, much worse than the small disturbance of 2000.

Compare the graphs here ( http://electoral-vote.com/evp2008/Pres/ec_graph-2008.html ), particularly the ones that leave out the "barely" states.

People are much less politically apathetic in the US than they were in 2000, and I'd bet money on a serious people-dying riot in the case of another shady election deal. The 2000 elections were close enough to fudge, this was a landslide.

I can't remember another time in my life where a lot of people were overcome with emotion to the point of tears at the result of an election in the US.
Fear, Competition, and Greed: A Checklist for Making Your Deal Hot to VCs
Yep, and assuming equal distribution of tax (including children), I paid 15 cents for this. Realistically more like approaching $1.

So let me get this straight - pick n companies that are the most effective at sucking up to the govt, give them grant money, while hurting the rest of the (total - n) companies in the country, some of which will actually be profitable.

I don't have an intrinsic problem with the govt investing in start ups, getting their returns as tax dollars (I don't think it's the governments role, but if they were profitable I wouldn't have a problem with it), but when will they wake up and realise that they're no good at it?
What an useless rant! It would have been better if you told us about all the great things you did about the water, the hunger, the pollution, the world peace etc.
I usually ignore critique from people who are not a personal example of what they are preaching. So would you please tell us how you put your money/brain/lifestyle where your mouth is or else just SHUT UP!
Oh and by the way entrepreneurs are people who try to create a profitable business. It might save the world or it might produce toilet paper, but if it's not making money, they can't be called entrepreneurs. So if you want them to solve any problem you consider important, don't ask them to give away money, tell them how to make more money by solving it.

Or are poor.
I have to agree that a rant like this isn't too constructive to this group. I do understand the "water problem" as you call it is enormous and multifaceted. There are people and groups that care about it and are doing things.

If your frustration in posting "here" is that HN seems to be focused on Web 2.0 stuff that has little direct effect on "real problems", well, you are somewhat correct. HN, just because it has lots of smart people willing to take entrepreneurial risks doesn't mean those people come here to figure out how to use their "charity time" to great effect.

I really think that the best place to find people passionate about the water problem is with groups already organized on it. Believe me, you _will_ find some very smart and courageous people in those groups. Don't get discouraged because HN may not be the best outlet for you to plug into.

BTW, I have thought about various aspects of clean water issues. And if I were to do something, I would not invent my own cool thing (I'm a software developer for God's sake ;)). I would plug into something someone else is already doing.
I agree that the OP is poorly formed. I am assuming he means well and is frustrated.

I have to mod you down on this though as your reaction is not helpful any more than his OP. If I could down mod the OP I would.
Just FYI, there are (at least in the US) multiple meanings of "social libertarian". Most people I know that would use that label for themselves are closer to being a classical anarchist or socialist, and do not vote Republican.

This is the biggest single limitation that I encounter constantly.
Why?

Someone's actions, or lack thereof, do not necessarily mean that their points are invalid. It does allow you to create a moral judgment of them, but that does not mean that they can not make a poignant criticism of a political and social situation that they've been living under.

Disregarding the commentary because of the actions of the commenter doesn't make much sense to me, at least not in this particular situation.
Ayn Rand doesn't advocate the ceaseless pursuit of money (though she doesn't condemn it either), even though a lot of people seem to thing that she stands for cupidity and profiteering. I don't agree with a lot of what Ayn Rand has to say, but I think your comment is a misrepresentation of what she's thinking (as I understand it anyways), which is that progress is achieved through individual ('selfish') endeavour.

There are a ton of problems like this and some a lot more serious than "the water problem". I could say the same thing to you about the "human slaves" problem, do you just not care? Why don't you do something about it instead of wasting your time making this thread here.

For things like this it's pointless to go out and convince people to help solve these "problems". The kind of individuals that would work on these problems are already doing so, and those that aren't already won't work on them even if you ask them. Kinda funny how free will works like that.

Now if you really want to make a difference, think before you post. Go to some chemical engineering entrepreneurial conference and make a speech there instead. Programmers aren't going to be able to solve the "water problem" no matter how much you want them to.

To be frank, I think most of this tax-related drama would be solved if people had a much more direct say in what their taxes went to support.

I don't think that most people who view taxes as theft would view them that way if we were using our available resources and technology to allow them to accomplish what taxes should be accomplishing anyhow - whatever the people want them to.

At the moment taxes accomplish whatever the state, city, and federal governments want them to, with the people only having a (at best) second-hand say in what happens through a system of representative voting that has historically had a high rate of greedy, power-hungry liars being on the receiving end of the votes.

My ideal politics fall much closer to anarchism than not, but I don't think that taxes are always theft. However, at the moment I don't think that it's much of an error to compare the two.
