> people just don't get as excited for legislation and regulation as they do for a candidate

Or, perhaps the legislation never matched up to the candidate. The examples of Obama's hypocrisy are well-documented, from war to spending to pot, and so on. Obama is becoming a flop because he's been a hypocrite on some of the most important issues of the day.
If a woman chooses to be a prostitute, and chooses to engage with a "John", then heck yes it's consensual. That's what that word means. And is there plenty of evidence that some women choose to be prostitutes (no gun pointed to their head, they have other employment options, etc.)? Heck yes. Not even controversial.

Are some women forced to do it? Yes, of course. So in those cases it is not consensual. If it's not consensual in one case it does not mean it's not consensual in all cases.

In 2003, Munich publicly gave the finger to Steve Ballmer himself and declared they were moving to Linux. If they really needed 3 years to think about it, perhaps their PR was all wrong, because all eyes were now on them as the Linux test case.

And perhaps you would work through this sort of multiyear migration plan, but I certainly wouldn't. From what I can tell the project was driven by feel-goodisms and not at all properly scoped.

Libraries: The future of computing
20 years ago, aged 7. Started with that LOGO turtle (am I imagining this?) then moved onto typing out reams of BASIC into our school BBCs from exciting looking game books. Even though the ASCII games never quite matched the futuristic 3D images on the front, I remember being far more excited about those books than any game I've played in recent years.

Early on, I didn't realise that you could retype lines to replace them, so was careful to type them out 100% accurately. One time a "friend" came and mashed the keys when I was on line 1300 or so, earning him detention for a week from the headmaster who was also none the wiser!

All of what you have said certainly sounds great for your game.

It sounds as though the only thing missing from KPP may have been fully voiced characters. Tough to tell -- but, presuming that were the case, would alone be a drastic difference.

Pile on top of that the nostalgia, association with the character and franchise, and every other intrinsic benefit of a genuine over imitation and it becomes a different conversation.

Types of Galaxy Tabs
One sentence per line, please
Not mentioned is the critical issue of pricing. Every manufacturer can and has made an expensive tablet. There are a boatload that are more expensive than Apple's offerings.

The widely held belief is that Amazon's $200 effort is sold a few dollars below cost. It is also fairly cheesy hardware and construction.

If Google make a cheap tablet it is also going to be a mediocre tablet. The pundits all write as though what will be produced with be both cheap and good quality/featured. I'll bet a cheap/mediocre device would actually end up benefiting Amazon (better "ecosystem" for the same price) and Apple (may as well spend $100 or so more and get quality).

It would be more interesting if Google had a range of 3 tablets in price and quality/functionality since the conversation then becomes which Google tablet to buy.
I think the difference is that Entrepeneurs don't see their work and their life as two separate entities. They consider them one and the same. This is why people always advise you to follow your passions - if your work is your passion, it won't feel like work.

Is it just me or /copy_ref could be used to make an awesome warez site? I hacked a quick prototype and it seems to work:

- User authenticates with Dropbox on my web app

- User sees his/her files and select the ones he/she wants to share

- Another User searches through the shared files, and by clicking "Download", and using /copy_ref, the file will appear on his/her Dropbox

I'm still undecided if I should use a full Root Dropbox access or just App Folder. The later would give users a more security sense, but would require more effort to share files (move the files to the app directory). What do you think?

Android doesn't need a Google tablet, it needs a great tablet, regardless of who makes it. And I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Android tablets aren't terrible. They're fast, usable, and some of them have real advantages over iPads. But they miss the point of the iPad market: making computing fun. In the hands of regular people, Android tablets feel heavy, clunky, techy, okay-I-guess. If they were significantly cheaper, people might not care, and buy the most affordable movie/game thing for the kids. But they're the same price, and often more.

And of course, that's aside from the mess that is the ecosystem. I don't think apps are a big deal to regular people, but games are, and so are books, movies and music. These things exist on Android, but both the selection and the experience can't compare to iTunes (which in my mind, should be a relatively low bar).

No one wants them to put out a really good tablet more than me. But the tablet market is incredibly different from the phone market, and neither Google nor its hardware partners seem to be chasing the right things.

No. It has a flawed concurrency model. Heap objects have too much overhead. Poor support for functional programming. Not open source.

Except for a major redesign of the JVM (is that still Java?), it's a dying/stagnating platform.
Brave thing to do, knowing that 'the medium is the message' when you write about design.

I won't go as far as to pretend to know what the parent means, but I'm quite sure he didn't mean to say he will know what's Wrong every single time, but that he just can't willfully commit himself to doing something that goes wildly against his morality.
I would clarify and say that the point of the iPad isn't to make computing fun so much as it is to move computing away from complexity. For a variety of reasons, Android as a platform is complicated.
Good advice - don't get drawn in. You have nothing to answer for.
Dart takes an interesting hybrid approach, making static typing optional but enforcing it rigidly wherever it is declared. (I'm not sure it originated with Dart, but that's where I encountered it.) This allows you to prototype things quickly without having to fuss about types. Later, when you're satisfied you've got the right idea, you go back and add static typing wherever having the guarantees that it provides would be useful.

I haven't had the chance to try this out yet. I'm sure some people like the fact that their programming language won't put up with fast-and-loose code -- you probably don't want your workout buddy to agree too eagerly to your suggestion that you skip the gym and grab a milkshake instead. But I think it might work for me. I'd be interested to hear about people's experiences, at any rate.

Like a guy giving career advice for engineers in Germany always says (I'm citing indirectly here, so there maybe is a certain spin to it): Nobody is blamed for following the "rules",so if HR doesn't get good people or any people at all they won't be blamed as long as they followed the rules. On the other they WILL get blamed if they hire the wrong or too troublesome people.

Maybe they think stalking prospective employees via facebook helps them somehow there...
People trafficking is a huge business with profits for organised crime of over $30billion.

Significant numbers of women are forced into sex work in countries across the world.

(http://www.unglobalcompact.org/docs/issues_doc/labour/Forced...)

Even if the person is not trafficked there are consent issues around addiction: Can a person addicted to a substance make a free informed choice? Here's some research showing that many people involved in prostitution are also drug users. (While this research isn't great it also references a lot of earlier research)

(http://myweb.dal.ca/mgoodyea/Documents/Health%20and%20wellbe...)

In theory there's nothing wrong with someone buying or selling sex. In practice there are often horrible problems.

OK, from the linked-to piece:

> If you are surfing my Facebook, you could reasonably be expected to discover that I am a Lesbian.

Obviously correct. However, they could also discover so much more about her that doesn't relate to any civil rights legislation, such as that she drinks jaegerbombs or uses the wrong kind of power saw. Now, those would be terrible reasons to not hire someone, but they're legal reasons, and can be brought up in court to dispute the claims they didn't hire her because of sexual orientation.

So, my point is, that's another reason the "Give us your Facebook password" is bad: It could easily undermine important civil rights legislation.

The JVM is written in C, if thats what you mean by "is that still Java". I agree Java has its weak spots but I still feel it has its places (maybe I'm a bit biased as I do a lot of Java dev), the whole JSP, Java full web stack is pretty awful, I definitely agree with critics who say things along these lines, but for writing code that isn't just CRUD and actually does computations, uses complex data structures, etc I don't think any dynamic language would be replacing this anytime soon. (are people really writing large scale search engines in Ruby or Python, etc?) I prefer Java to C# as I develop on Linux and have never been into the whole Microsoft scene, so I think its a good alternative to the .Net world. I think the future of Java on the web is mainly for powering API's, whether internal or public, while other languages continue to take over anything relating to the front-end.

With java, you have tons of libraries for doing complex computing, the ones that come to mind first for me are search oriented ones like Apache Lucene / Solr as well as NLP libs, etc... Java no longer needs to try to be the "end all" solution, but are there other platforms that have the wealth of libraries for working with big data? (honestly am a bit curious about this)

> and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX

GNU defaults to NOT being POSIX-compliant, which makes most of GNU software a PITA to build on platforms which default to being POSIX-compliant.

Also, except for emacs, GNU is a failure. gcc we use today is an egcs fork, and the Linux kernel could have worked just as well with BSD userland.
In my opinion, startups aren't the problem when it comes to design - large corporations are. If I had a pound for every time I've had to fight to include budget for design work in work in a project for FTSE 100 clients, I could start my own VC fund. Why do I need design in my org chart? Process diagram? Status report? Business case? SDLC? Agile framework? Whatever...

The best solution I heard of was the concept of a "Simplicity Tsar" - a C-level independent observer with the power of veto on any product (internal or external) that doesn't make the user's life simpler. It's a shame more corporations don't buy into this idea.

Not to mention android which is done in Java which is the most widely used mobile platform. How can a language thats being used more than ever be dying to languages who can crack the top ten most used programming languages.

IMO, the issue is not the tablets themselves but the apps.

The thing Google should focus on, is promoting good apps, they're are currently doing some promoting (e.g. staff picks, top developer), but a developer's choice when it comes to this type of promoting is limited to hope. What they need is something like the Apple's approval system, but not to the extreme of "the app is either approved or denied". The developer can pay a fee to get his app reviewed (UX, performance, ...etc) and when "approved", it gets a symbol (check mark, star, whatever) and put on a category of "promoted" apps. This will probably encourage more developers to put more effort, and more users to trust more the quality of promoted apps.

I was thinking it might also be neat if you could show poll results based on a time interval (assuming that you are regularly spidering) so one could see how poll results change over time, instead of having to create a new poll.

One drawback to doing this, though, is that the people sampled who vote later via this website may be different than those who would vote when it is resubmitted on the Hacker News front page. Also, it require a reasonable amount of extra work and is more difficult to display.
As far as I know, no. You can get SBCL to point out some intra-function inconsistencies through declarations (or, in fact, often even without declarations), but I haven't found a way to make it warn when, outside of function X, I'm calling it with types different from the types associated with the arguments through declarations.
