It's a basic foundation of trust between two non-familiar people that doesn't exist in our culture.

What? Trust is the very bedrock of civilization. You trust people in little ways every second of everyday. You trust the mailman isn't reading your mail, you trust the coffee at the diner isn't contaminated, you trust the health inspector that inspected that diner, and so on.
Huh. I'm fairly color-blind, so I can't see the orange (or teal) tones that he's complaining about. However, I have noticed that more films lately seem to have more detail, and everything just "looks better" to me.

I've read that some amount of color-blindness is context sensitive (e.g. http://www.designmatrix.com/pl/cyberpl/cic.html); I bet that the increased contrast in these films is part of what's making them so much more visually appealing to me.
It is really a shame that most statically-typed languages with nice type systems have such difficult-to-understand error messages. Sure, after you've been working with them for several months, you start to figure out what they mean. However, when you're starting you do wish that they could be easier to understand.
It's not destined to fail when they have a monopoly.

I can say, though, that Cox does a good job with the benefits of their actual workers. However, most of their workers are outsourced, and are treated the same way as in the article. This also means the actual employees have to fix up the subcontractors' mistakes, because of how badly their incentives are aligned.

Source: a family member who is a Cox employee. I've also known a Comcast employee who had decent benefits for a call center job, but whose authority was sorely limited which made doing his job difficult.

The Meaning of Gist
Why marketing conventions are important for branding 
In such a competitive era every customer daily filters so many brands out of its brain and keep some brands in its hit list. And that happens only on the basis of branding done by every company.

Maybe you're right.

I will just say that if it were me in this situation, I would never in a million years go on an art appraiser's word that I 'can't' sell it, without even asking the appropriate agency.
On that note, I think Amazon's tuition reimbursement is also more meager than that of Microsoft's, if not absent altogether. MS is happy to cover something close to 10k a year for your graduate degree.
> It's quite difficult to write a VM target that is fast for both dynamic and statically typed languages.

It's also nigh-impossible to design a bytecode which does not significantly restrict (and dictate) the semantics of the VM running it. It mandates a bytecode-based VM, to start with (V8 does not use bytecode).
pg@ycombinator.com is usually better for stuff like this. Or http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363, which doesn't yet have an SSL-related request.
Patents are federal law, not state law, which is the basic point here. It seems very dangerous to think that you can dodge federal law by avoiding doing business in a specific state, and I should think that the jury would be instructed as such. An attempt to state-dodge might even be seen as indicative of an awareness of wrongdoing.
For fuck's sake, this is a news site.
Wow, never knew Tom created Gravatar. Really like these sort of posts but maybe the title of 'overnight success' is wrong? Great article though!
It was also in the context of some European countries not co-operating with other countries to arrest/extradite terrorist suspects because they wanted a quiet life where terrorist groups didn't attack their interests.

"the current obsession with alternative energy is limited to parts of Western Europe and parts of the USA. It has virtually no traction elsewhere in the world"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_the_People%27s_Re...

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

"The correct response is to admit there is no current technical solution to affordable energy without burning stuff"

And, from there, the correct conclusion must be that we should continue burning stuff at ever faster rates?

IMO, we should start using renewable sources ASAP, start using less energy, and work on energy-efficient ways to decrease the amount of greenhouse gases released (IMO, building factories to pump CO2 into the ground is not the best solution here)

This is the question I was going to ask. I've heard that the reason most superheroe's costumes are primary colors is because it was less expensive to print them for the comics. I wonder if a similar effect is happening here?
They're talking about it over on Metafilter.

Part of the reason it may have been deleted is because it probably has nothing to do with the government, and because as a document, it's been kicking around (and publicly available) for at least 4 years.

I was initially super excited that it was knowledge too powerful even for SlashDot, but the opposite may be true.
I don't think Jason was saying luck had anything to do with it, just that developers (or even employees in general) get the life ground out of them, are cast aside, and then FEEL like they've hit the lottery when they get another job. What Jason's talking about is employee victimization. Treating everyone like shit, so that people will think "Oh, I'm lucky to be here!" akin to a beaten spouse. Be that in comparison to the larger job force after bad experiences elsewhere, or bad treatment against your own coworkers.

After all, remember what the common person finds revolutionary about tech companies. Not the nice salaries and high employment rates. Food. Laundry services, on premises events. The faintest hint that the company cares about the people, and tries to treat them well. That's a foreign concept to most.

Mostly employees get "you're lucky to even have a job" shoveled down our throats. (And that could in reality be the situation at those larger tech jobs I've loosely described, but the point is, things like that? Good PR against it.)
I actually wanted to bring this up a while back too, but it could cause some big issues (forcing SSL in general that is). I wouldn't force all of HN over SSL, but I would make it a lot clearer to users when logging in, if they are logging in over SSL or not (maybe a large text saying click here to log in over SSL? Even though it might look a bit crappy). Or creating filters for IP's that force SSL for certain countries.

Iran for instance blocked all SSL sites a while back, not sure if this is still the case however..

You should check out other game genres. Character progression (typically in the form of XP or XP under another name) is an underpinning of the genre, but you can find most of the other cool things about RPGs in other genres now.

The roots of the RPG genre are in games like Dungeons and Dragons where character progression (through gaining XP and levelling up and then choosing perks/skills) were how you added additional definition to your character beyond the things you chose at the start (like name, race, etc). Modern RPGs have expanded on this with complex skill systems and relationship systems and such, but almost all of that still sits atop the foundation of character growth through point rewards during gameplay (experience, gold, etc).
I hear that Shadow of the Colossus is a bit like this. At least, there aren't lots of enemies to grind through, and I don't think there's much in the way of XP as a result.

I take it you've never spoken to a journalist.

Their job is not to present the findings in a balanced way. It is to present sharp, punchy, telegraphic prose that grabs a reader's interest and holds it long enough to justify the cost of the adjacent advertising.

Oh! And they need it done by 4pm sharp.

Conversations can go along these lines:

Journo: "What does the study say, Doctor Bloggs? Will people who sit more die sooner?"

Dr Bloggs, PhD: "Well it's too early to say that for sure.
It's only a preliminary result. There's no full randomised trial, it's a meta-study based on a few dozen other studies. "

Journo: "But what was the conclusion? Does sitting shorten life?"

Dr Bloggs, PhD: "Well when the researchers controlled for known risk factors like age, heredity and so forth they found a correlation between sedentary time and lifespan. But it's only an early result, much more work has to be done."

Journo: "What does that mean in lay terms?"

Dr Bloggs, PhD: "It means that based on this study, people who sit for longer had a shorter life expectancy."

Journo: "Would you say that means that they died sooner than they otherwise would have?"

Dr Bloggs, PhD: "Sure, that's one way to put it."

Next day:

SITTING IS KILLING YOU SAYS DOC

Prominent local medical scientist Dr Blogg said yesterday that people who sit too much "die sooner".

"People who sit [have] a shorter life expectancy", he said.

His comments come after the publication of a report...

At no point has the journalist strictly lied about what Dr Bloggs said. He just left out that tedious fluffy sandbagging scientists always insist on and cut to the heart of the matter. The journalist here can source every word in the report.

Everything you ever say to a journalist can and will be published.

They are not your friends. They are not normal people who keep normal confidences. They do not observe social niceties or politeness in conveying what you said.

They will print only what makes for an interesting story. And that will only rarely be what you, the source, had in mind when you spoke to them.
You hit me down... it is my weakness, I am programmer:(
With your words.

More specifically, when they make you an offer for $x/year, you say "how about $(x + 15)" instead of "holy crap yes yes yes!"

You can also try it at your current job if you've been there a while and haven't seen more than "cost of living" adjustments in your salary for a while. Though the sad reality is that it's usually a lot easier to ask another company instead and get your raises by switching jobs.

Are these the brain cells that give us consciousness?
Well, if you're going to a California community college (I think that's the sort of courses this program is aimed at), you would pay $36/unit. A full time student would take 12 units for a total cost of $432.[1] Things like textbooks are extra but obviously vary a ton depending on the courses you choose and how clever you are buying them.

[1]: http://www.cccapply.org/faq/costs.asp

Assuming you're not actually going to be doing a full 12 units--a reasonable assumption here, I think--the $2000 limit should suffice.

I don't know about more specific vocational schools or anything like that.
"Do you have any idea of the trauma and agony the poor child must be going through?"

Probably not that much, really. She was "sexually assaulted" while she was passed out drunk at a party. She wasn't raped. She probably didn't experience anything during the assault and wasn't injured or infected with an STD. She probably didn't even know it happened until the pictures surfaced. If she's passed out in the pictures, then they shouldn't ruin her life or cause her much distress, because they only prove that she got drunk at a party and that some idiots groped her. If she doesn't appear to be passed out in the pictures, then she probably just regrets slutting it up.

I'm quite serious: the "trauma and agony" that she "must" be going through is probably mostly a product of her overdramatic imagination. And before you accuse me of "minimizing" or "victim-blaming", I'm not blaming her for what happened, I'm just saying that it wasn't that big a deal. So I suppose I'm minimizing, but only relative to your dramatizing.

That's comparing very differently compensated employees, though. This Amazon program is for hourly employees, such as warehouse staff. My guess is that Microsoft's willingness to pay $10k/yr for graduate tuition only extends to their salaried white-collar employees, unless they treat their hourly staff a lot better than I'd realized.

As someone who is suffering from depression and tried therapy, I think this is too vast a topic to sum it up in one poignant description like that and there are definitely different "complicated minds" and each one of them can experience it differently. So, it is as valid a description as any other because it can have just as many different root causes. The same is true for the "complicated" part - ultimately, both are rather superficial summaries probably for the sake of brevity, so while not appreciative of the actual issues, both do fit in the article since the intentions weren't to really analyze anyone's state of mind.
Why Group Messaging Will Disrupt Facebook
But we're not talking about that, as I said elsewhere, MELPA can have quite strict requirements (only the people allowed to commit to the github project of a repo can make a change, seems fair enough) and marmalade is aiming towards digital signatures. This would make marmalade the same as any other repository with low code review. How much do Debian people code review before a package goes into APT? or CentOS people?

The interesting thing is -- it was probably the wrong call, and I'm saying this without having the faintest idea who you are or what you do. An abundance of news on IPOs, start-up millionaires, and other "over night" success stories has the unfortunate effect of grossly distorting our perception of the actual success/failure distribution.

NB, this doesn't mean one shouldn't try. But you know what I'd be interested in? A series on utter failures. People leaving safe jobs for a half-baked idea that simply doesn't take off. Companies folding after a couple of months without much publicity. Desperate hunts for "acquihires" that go nowhere.

That doesn't work with other candidates for "single greatest profession". Doctoring, lawyering, nailing things together, whatever. They don't scale the same way.

That is, there's no way for a Dentist to perform a single act of Dentistry that he can sell as a service on the Denternet and maintain his lifestyle indefinitely with just a few hours of work per week. He has to keep Dentisting day in, day out, either by hand or by running a practice, or the money stops rolling in.

Software is rather unique in that quality.

I don't know how good the service is in SF, but generally I can recommend it strongly for this use case. My parents did that around 2000 for 3 or 4 years (in Germany, in a bigger city). We rented a car once a week for grocery shopping and sometimes for a family trip (we even did a 2-week holiday trip with a rented car).

With this usage we definitely saved money. And a lot of time, because you don't have to care about repairing the car, taxes, ...

My father got a new job, moved to a small city without a car sharing service and bought a mercedes. He probably wouldn't "downgrade", but he is constantly annoyed because he has to care about all the small details (changing tires in the winter, refilling oil, then often small things like light bulbs break, ...).

I am very interested in this and you seem to know more about Freudian therapy and behavior therapy - the usual counter argument from the Freudian side is that behavior therapy might help but ultimately the underlying issues can/will re-surface and manifest themselves in new, different issues. So typically they are calling it very superficial, just scratching the surface whereas Freudian therapy usually takes much, much, MUCH longer and in the end you might be wondering who you really are and how many.
