Does this not work anymore? Are you privy to something I don't know?
Indeed. Couple of optimistic talks at TED that shows that on an 'average' it IS getting better.

However, the 24/7 news cycle drums up everything that is negative and hence most of "feel" that it is getting worse.
The problem is that we don't have a real notion how to change it in a large scale, we allready pure tons of money into poor countries but it does not really help (alot of times it even hurts). Alot of people feel like you but nobody has an idea how to help. Do you?
This is all bullshit, capitalism sucks, everyone needs to slow down and live a little.
I'm gonna call it right now: bad idea. It's not about efficiency, it's about convenience. Plus, what makes you think you math is right? Square only takes 2.75%, and also Amazon is a high-volume, low-margin exception. The long tail is low-volume high-margin, and I doubt you will convince people to radically change payment systems for a lousy 3% savings.

I don't care what most people mean (if that is what they really mean!). They can be as clueless as the author of the G+ post!

I call Android fragmented, for many reasons; including different screen sizes, different input methods & (most importantly) not being able to upgrade to the latest version without your phone manufacturer's blessing (which in most cases doesn't happen, or happens 6 months later).
Oh really. You have the idea, you "just need" a developer and some biz guy?
This reminds me of their Vista PR stunt where they tricked unsuspecting users to give favorable feedback about Vista on camera.
The fact that there are almost 10 billions people alive on this Earth prove otherwise. The population would not flourish if everyone was poor and starving. It's pretty obvious that the world is getting richer and the poors are getting richer no matter what the gap between the poors and the richs is. Now "poor" people in the US have internet access and mobile phones. Come on !

I store a separate bash history per directory, in a tree under ~/.bash_history.d. Each time I change directories, my shell flushes its history to that directory's histfile, and loads in the histfile for the new directory.

It may sound weird, but look at this way: Usually I cd to a "place" to work on some particular project. When a cd to some project I haven't touched in a while, it's very useful to have, in 'history', a context – the usual commands I use to start up that server, the last few files I fiddled with, etc.

Anyone else do something like this?
Just practice humility.

Arrogance is the most common mistake people make. Because they're ashamed of being wrong. Just don't be. Embrace that you're human and you're likely wrong about most of what you understand. Simply because you're human. If you notice, about 90% of all cognitive biases derive from arrogance.

After you understand how prone to cognitive bias human beings are. You should understand that the chance of you being wrong about something you're absolutely positive about. Is actually huge. You're wrong more often than not.

The practical advice to take from this is to simply be careful, be skeptic, doubt yourself. Just practice, stepping back for a second and assume that you might be wrong before jumping into conclusions. Doing that, you'll find that you were wrong much more often than you thought. And after you note that you're wrong, you can then improve your opinion.

Unless I'm mistaken, of course :)

Even producers spend time consuming content. I'd expect that we all consume far more content than we produce. It's worth optimising that experience as well.

If nobody consumed these media, what would be the point of producing them?

I am more interested in what are you consuming - news.ycombinator.com or news.fox.com? "Twilight" movies or "The Wire" TV series?
Your premise is faulty and following through on it could doom the poor of the world to continued poverty.

First world consumption isn't something that's done at the expense of the 3rd world, it's something that sends money and skilled jobs to the developing world to help them bootstrap their way to wealth. Look at china, south korea, taiwan, etc. these countries have climbed out of 3rd world poverty by being "exploited" by the 1st world and have become developed and increasingly affluent. South Korea, for example, is rapidly becoming a 1st world nation. Would that more countries followed those examples.
Am I missing something, or does the page recursively refresh itself? (In Opera 11.62, Chrome and IE8, FWIW)
I don't think alternative currencies have a long-term future. The only reason they exist now is because people and governments in most countries are quite ignorant about technology. Once they become more widely used, they will start causing a whole lot of problems* and will be banned by governments.

The real solutions, in my opinion, have to use real currencies or they will face a severe risk of death by regulation.

* Use for illegal activities.

* Problems with controlling capital flow across national borders.

* Problems with estimating money supply in an economic system etc.

I have heard a similar advice, but in the morning before class. Your brain has the most capacity in the morning, because over the day all the other information makes you exhausted and the amount you can learn on a single day is limited.

It is way easier to learn in the evening, that is what most students do anyway.

Conal Elliott did something like this with Tangible Functional Programming.
Can you link to the paper? Happy to read it. My thoughts/plan in general though: basically do what facebook credits did. Get licensed as a money transmitter, collect info on all users to comply with AML and know your customer laws. It's a pain, and expensive but doable and there is precedent for it (Paypal blazed this trail as well). Then there will be a PR battle where you win hearts and minds by highlighting the benefit to small business owners.

All depends on the criteria of poverty. It is not just a question of money. It is a question of having access to food, water, safe shelter, security, medical assistance, ... Food and energy price is raising. Are the poor people catching on on these ? I doubt it.
It's partially because the technology industry moves, while the film or book industry doesn't.

Film and novels derive their quality from their plots. Plots transcend time. Although the tools involved in creating a movie or book may change (improved camera systems), the tools don't impact the plot much. Therefore, a book written thirty years ago can have the same quality as a book written today.

The quality of an application is unable to transcend time. Sure, the idea of creating a website to connect people might, but the quality of an application isn't usually based on the idea, it's based on the implementation. Implementations cannot transcend time; that's why technological masterpieces don't exist. A programmer who locks himself in his room and starts working on "the next Facebook" now won't be very successful in thirty years: when he launches, the whole technological landscape will have changed.

Programmers rarely work on something for too long, because they understand that their products are dependent on technology, which changes over time. What is amazing today is not amazing ten years from now.
Some generic company apologist, unrelated to the events in question, (kind of) apologized. Until the manager in question who is actually responsible apologies, I don't see why that should count for anything. This is becoming a depressingly common pattern, big company screws up then someone completely unrelated offers a generic apology while the people actually responsible never say anything. If the apology isn't from the someone involved in the screw-up then it doesn't count.

And while we're busy apologizing, perhaps the person responsible for this stupid PR event should apologies to Microsoft for further damaging an already tarnished brand.
It comes down to this: if you think that economics is a zero-sum game, then yes, it is unjust. First world consumption comes at the expense of the poor elsewhere, the rich are leeches sucking money from the rest of the economy, and 35 hour work weeks create jobs.

Good news is all signs point to economics not being a zero-sum game, and thus most of the responses you are getting are likely correct - your premise is flawed.
But how much more fun would it be to get profiled as a "loser", then show people this story. The employees were dumb to even ask: "let's see how much salt we can rub into this".

Whip these together and you've just made yourself a mediocre high school essay thesis statement.
Probably my fault that I wasn't clear. It's just an analogy to my world and how I usually deal with problems as a programmer. If I had to write 10k words a day, I would write a bot to do it. And any more planned, intelligent way of doing that, manually, would just feel like bandaging a brute-force solution instead of looking for an elegant one.

Just a bad joke anyway, nothing to see here.

We've looked into Hoard. It's fast only if you have a large number of threads that are -constantly- allocating memory, and even then it wastes more memory than a regular heap. The large majority of real-world applications don't do this, but some server applications might. I think Hoard could be useful for that. On the other hand, if performance was critical to you then you'd change your code to not allocate memory so much.

A practical problem we have with Hoard is that it lacks diagnostics. By diagnostics I mean extensive heap reports, fragmentation information, free space, what's the largest block I can safely allocate, give me a callback for every malloc so I can do stats tracking, etc.

I think there is merit in your argument; having something more tangible than an idea means a lot more, especially when the op sounds like he is quite open with his ideas and willing to express that initial excitement.

Maybe restraining yourself from this might make you work towards having something more substantial that you can then in turn "show off".

DAFT PUNK NEW ALBUM: JUNE 2012
There is a precedent for doing it legally, Paypal, Facebook Credits, etc are all digital currencies. They do it by getting licensed as a money transmitter and complying with all AML and know your customer laws. It's an expensive and long process but people are able to do it. Not sure I fully understand the last two bullets. In general I think you're right that this startup will have larger legal challenges/costs than most but building something that is 100% above board and shows you're making a good faith effort to comply/do the right thing buys you a lot of good will. You want to be YouTube, not MegaUpload.
Don't be so optimistic. The globalization project hasn't ended yet. Who will control the world is to be seen. And whether the nations will be left with the wealth they had acquired is as clear as the Libyan's future at the moment.
Their point is moot and I don't get their intention.

They use figures from 2005 and 2008 so they can't legitimately try to relate the economic downturn to improvements in worldwide poverty.

As much as I despise all of the negativity in the news, the optimistic part of me sees it as a way to shine light on the many things wrong with the world at present. While the news may be a bit of a downer, I believe the lasting effects of it are for the best.

When I learn of something terrible or even of a minor crime or injustice, the first thing that comes to my mind is along these lines: "There is obviously some ideal we're working towards, but the current system is inherently flawed; so what can I do to hack this system and make it better?"

Maybe someday we'll have the kinks worked out and will have managed to minimize the "bad" things happening throughout the world. And I believe the news will have ultimately played some role such improvements. The day we see more good news than bad will be a great day.
It is a beautiful illustration of how just making money is not worth it for some people.

Loved it, thanks for sharing.
I agree with the OP, the level of negativity on HN is striking, if you peruse through the articles on the first page on any given day at least half will have some negative "hater" comment as the one with the most votes. You saw the same type of negative behavior on Techcrunch before they transitioned over to the Facebook commenting system, maybe there's something about anonymity that brings out the worst in people.
If all copyright holders agree, then yes (see mysql).

The main issue with that is that you have some problems with accepting external contributions - you need a copyright assignment process, which is difficult to do internationally and a hurdle for contributors to overcome.
A nice article; sadly it omits tcmalloc (by Google).

That would be very high level and should interest many (very) talented hackers; and you could either licence it -- or sell each transformation for a very hefty price (the price of writing it again).

Google would have to open several different stores. They are all slightly different as the interior designer sees fit, and the plans for each are all several years outdated. Each store is several different stories tall, but some sections have been roped off and are in the process of being demolished--even though some people liked those parts. All the employees ask if you know other people who have been to the store, even though you don't use the Google store enough to care. Occasionally sales reps walk up to you and ask you if you want to buy a product tangentially related to something you were just thinking about (how did they know?); all you can do is shake your head and walk away until the next salesperson comes up to you. Overall you get the feeling that you'd rather be in and out of the store as quickly as possible.
