After the fatal accident of that Googler's car in a car-sharing arrangement, I would assume that any 'real' ride-sharing is significantly reduced. There's just too much personal liability compared to AirBnB type of sharing.

A car is a complex piece of machinery. You keep everything on your car running absolutely perfectly? Well, it's great if you can afford that. Probably you're not in the target demographic.

Most people who share their own rides assume it's at least going to break even, if not much more. But if there's an accident, how easy is it for the driver to just claim it was the car? They can ditch the fault if the car itself was faulty. There's just too much incentive for a stranger to take advantage and cost you a lot of money.

The premise of ride sharing is the willingness to put yourself at someone else's mercy. It's a basic foundation of trust between two non-familiar people that doesn't exist in our culture.

OK, so take the human component out of it. What's left is a for-profit corporation handing cars out for cheap. No one should be surprised when people take them up on the offer out of economic benefit! They are able to provide cars for cheap, if they are in your area, and you want a cheap char, why wouldn't you use them?

I think they should fully accept your fate, and pivot into the worlds absolute BEST rental car company. Just maximize utilization! They've built all the infrastructure they need, they could kill it in this space like UBER is killing it in valet.
Maybe it's great if you live in a tech hub. Take the programmer who happens to live in Nowheresville, Nebraska. He lives there because his wife has a job there, or other family commitments, so he can't just up sticks and move to the Valley. So he's looking at the local job market, which is probably shitty death march or legacy VB projects or whatever. Moving to the Valley is only really practical for young, single people without kids and mortgages.

Remote jobs are the answer, but they are still few and far between, even among supposedly "forward looking" startups. So for your programmer in Nowheresville the job market is to all intents and purposes a bleak and desperate place, no matter how experienced or talented he happens to be.

Having had firsthand experience with Google and Microsoft, and secondhand reports about Amazon from many friends who've worked there, I think Amazon is the lowest of the three for benefits - although all three are spectacular when compared with average companies.

Both Microsoft and Google have similar white-glove treatment for relocation. For example, when I was recruited to MS out of college, I got a gift bag of scuba gear and a call from a local dive shop because I asked the recruiter about diving in the area. Microsoft paid for movers to pack me and ship everything, while my dorm-mates looked on with envy.

Google, in turn, makes Microsoft look stingy. Everything you've heard is true and then some. Random example: most BigCos have top-notch coverage if you have international problems while traveling on business, provided by an expert 3rd party. Google extends this to international travel you may take for pleasure.

Amazon is very good by the standards of all companies, but not particularly notable when held up to its closest competition.
Censorship on the part of a private body is nothing new, and completely acceptable. If the owner/controllers of a website don't want certain content on their site then they are completely within their rights to remove it.

This is a meta-article. It has a small amount of value to Slashdot as content, but then a massive negative value for its nature concerning the gaming of an online community, which Slashdot is.

It'd be like posting a guide to DDOSing vBulletin on a vBulletin forum.

It's fair enough to post the content on a lone website, but not in an online community. You can claim that knowledge of the article is harmless, and will inform the public, but it won't stop people trying to use it as a set of guidelines. And is that worth all of Slashdots time to clean up? No.

But ultimately, it's a private site, they can do what they want. If you don't like it, then go somewhere else.

Amazon will pay up to 95% of the tuition, textbook and associated fees up to a maximum of $2,000 per year for four years.

The analysis of the "skeptics" almost always leaves out the vast externalized costs of traditional energy sources.

Yes, this is the chief fallacy in the article and it deserves to be highlighted. Fossil fuels are even more heavily subsidized than alternative energy sources, but the subsidies are hidden in other expenses such as medical costs and drought-driven food prices. There is after all a reason that we're looking for alternative energy, and it's because we're finding the true cost of fossil fuels is much too high, regardless what the subsidized price may be.

"He explains how Time Warner issues a specific screw driver which acts as a key to open cable boxes and how the previous owner stripped it trying to open the wrong kind of box; it’s rendered useless. “You’re telling me they knowingly sent you out with broken equipment?” All Bill can do is laugh to himself and give back a defeated, “Yep.”"

Separation of labor from ownership of (broken) means of production leads to hilarity. I bet Marx would have a chuckle over this.
I think it's because relocation is a discretionary case by case expense. The standard stuff, like health insurance, is on the "frugal" side, or so I've heard. But that's because you set that up all at once for the whole company. You can't offer a better health insurance plan to an A player the way you can offer a more generous relocation package. Which I will add is little consolation to anyone who already lives in Seattle.
I'm pleased to hear that Amazon is doing this. It seems like a change of pace from their past treatment of temps (http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2011/12/seasonal-w...) and absence of philanthropic activity (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/201...).
I don't really understand why you'd need an instrument to show acceleration. Can't you feel it? The point of the speedometer is that it's something much less easy to feel.

Google Stops Taking Orders for 16GB Nexus 7
Demand for Google’s 7-inch Nexus 7 tablet seems to have well exceeded the tech giant’s expectations.

Last week, Google posted a message to its online store saying that shipments of the 16GB model were delayed one to two weeks. Now, the store has stopped taking orders altogether.

Those who want to purchase the $249 version of the tablet are told to sign up to be notified by e-mail when it is back in stock

"LuaJIT 2 has interpreters for 6 architectures of around 4000K lines per architecture (ARMv6, MIPS, PPC, PPCSPE/Cell, x86, x86-64)."

Is that number 4000K correct? That sounds awfully big for me.

Sure this is a very European notion. Come have a look at our roads and landscape and streets to see for yourself rollseyes. Then again, I guess you can't expect a marketing professor to understand concepts like 'observer bias' or 'sample size'.

This is a strange and pretty sloppy article. For example:

If the government didn't invent the Internet, who did? Vinton Cerf developed the TCP/IP protocol, the Internet's backbone, and Tim Berners-Lee gets credit for hyperlinks.

How is that a counterexample? Those are two examples of the government inventing key parts of the internet! Tim Berners-Lee worked for CERN, and Vinton Cerf worked for DARPA (and during some of the time at UCLA and Stanford... pursuant to DARPA grants).

Plenty of other problems, such as attempting to minimize the role of ARPANet, which is just absurd. I'd nominate the following article as a better starting point, and chalk the WSJ op-ed up to election-year silliness: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet

It's a setting in CodeMirror which jsbin and jsfiddle both make use of.

However, if you open the devtools console in your browser, and run: `jsbin.settings.editor.smartIndent = false` it'll disable the indenting. The setting is sticky, so you it should remain whilst the data is stored against the browser.
Download will only be downloaded in the initial state of jsbin - i.e. if there's nothing to download. When you type, it'll save your bin and you can download that. You can also directly access each panel on the url, like jsbin.com/abc.css or jsbin.com/abc.less, etc.
"deaths squads", and it's the exact definition of death squad. The fact that it fits a definition of a word isn't important anyway. The facts are.

Blackwater didn't get that "villainous" reputation by being particularily targeted. I guess you could argue that the frequently reported "indiscriminate" firing was a different Blackwater/Xe/Acedemi department and you might be totally right.

And I guess that depends on when the number of extrajudicial killings by a funded group kept unaccountable specifically to avoid prosecution reaches a level that you would call "large scale". No one seems to know the scale, but it's certainly beyond what any historian is going to call "targeted assassinations" in the future.
I couldn't agree more. I remember talking to a senior exec (acquired as part of a startup buyout) at a previous job and he stressed that there's always room under the big contenders (in areas they can't or don't care about) in any market until you begin to chip away at their market share and become one yourself. In an ideal world, I guess. Good post.

I really do want to be a Yahoo! fanboy too. Wish they would improve Flickr before I migrate to 500px.

I happen to be in the assembly interpreter business, and I agree with Mike 100%. It is all about use registers efficiently, and avoid branch like hell. But just forget whatever your compiler promises you, you are better off with your own hands.
It's even worse. When the artist complained during a TV interview [the Dutch MPAA board member] Gerrits suggested that the composer should sign his track over to High Fashion Music, a label owned by the board member himself and one that would take 33% of Rietveldt’s royalties for its trouble."
This. The title for this article is misleading.

What about the set of people/corporations who are happy that they legally own the rights to patents granted on the basis of the intellectual work of people who wish software patents did not exist?
"There is so much competition in the mobile space right now. Yes, iOS and Android have the lion’s share of the market, but there’s also RIM OS, Windows Phone, Tizen, Ubuntu, Bada, Symbian, Brew, WebOS, and MeeGo — and that’s just off the top of my head."

That's the argument.
Chaikin's book is excellent. Two books on Apollo that I'd recommend:

1. How Apollo Flew to the Moon, by W David Woods. Don't be put off by the cheesy cover, this book goes into a lot of technical detail and does a pretty good job of explaining things.

2. Digital Apollo by David A. Mindell. A detailed look at the use of digital technology in Apollo, particularly for guidance. Lots of chewy technical detail.

These books would definitely appeal to many HN readers with an interest in spaceflight.

A reason for XP is to serve as some kind of yardstick to your progress. A non-linear quest (such as in the Fallout games) uses XP to give you new abilities the more you play the game, whatever you happen to do in it. Whereas in linear stories you can simply present the hero with whatever bonus their progress deserves.

Note that you can have the character-improvement mechanic in more than RPGs; a game like Half-Life introduces weapons, equipment, and new ways to manipulate the environment as you progress.
That's essentially what Zipcar is. It's a pay by the hour car rental service with a good interface. They call it "sharing" just to get around a lot of legal and cultural baggage associated with rental.
Nice tool, thanks for sharing.

We will no longer have to deal with all this BS once browsers implement CSS3 image values. (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-images/) Syntax would be like: `background-image: image('sprites.png#xywh=40,0,20,20');` Share single image across your site/stylesheets. No need to set a fixed width/height. No background-repeat restrictions etc
Yes, relocation is definitely an easier place for a company to provide special treatment to a prospective hire than "boilerplate benefits" like medical. I've heard of exactly one case where someone managed to get special treatment in the area of health insurance -- a diabetic who found that the corporate health plan wouldn't cover an insulin pump until he had been on it for X years, and was told "ok, we'll throw in a free insulin pump as a signing bonus".
I thought I'd post here with some of the features jsbin (version 3) comes with. There's a blog post being prepared too, but pending that.

The big change in jsbin is the live aspect:

* Start typing, your code is saved and continues to save as you type.

* As you type the live output is updated automatically.

* Open the the full preview url (without /edit) in any other window - be it browser or mobile phone, and that will update in real-time too. So you can edit on your desktop, and the rendered output will appear on you mobile devices.

* If you share the url with /watch on the end, people can watch what you type in real time.

More detail will be in the post later today. I'll try to answer more questions here if they come up.

It also continues to be completely open source: http://github.com/remy/jsbin - so welcoming any contributions :)
The problem is the mere fact that you're willing to pay makes you infinitely more valuable.
Maybe we should interpret that advice as "write about something that is interesting to you"? You could write about something that you find genuinely interesting, but in a way that makes it accessible to your audience (which isn't yourself, unless you're wrinting your personal diary).
Everything Jason says and then some. (Well, OK, I'd quibble about luck having anything to do with it. Nobody lucks their way into being a doctor - they correctly identify it is a good idea based on the scads of available evidence and then work hard on the obvious pathway to becoming one - and we should similarly avoid trivializing ourselves.)

I have a folder in Gmail of comments thanking me for my negotiating advice articles. My running tally is folks are $214k a year wealthier literally just by asking for it.
The researchers deserve a lot of derision, here. It's not like people decide to rent a car by the hour to save the whales. The only intangible benefit in my mind when renting a zipcar is the knowledge that I won't have to direct one of Seattle's horrible cabbies around my neighborhood or pay a ridiculous amount of maintenance and insurance for the possibility that I might want to pick up groceries this month.
I know the US has astronomical tuition fees for "academic" college/university programs, but this explicitly doesn't apply to those -- it's for vocational training.

What are tuition fees like at the sort of community colleges which offer part-time vocational programs?
I did miss it, because you made that last part up. You would be completely right if the article said "Mrs. Sonnabend was then able to retain ownership as long as the work continued to be exhibited at a public museum and not sold." But I just added the last three words. They're not in the article.

So, a special dispensation from FWS was required for them to continue possessing it. Which is illegal. So, ask for a special dispensation from the FWS to sell it to the museum. Which is illegal.

They have every reason to believe they will get it. Read between the lines.
I think that's because they want to maintain the culture of frugality on-campus. Wastefulness on the job is pernicious because it adds up and cannot be tracked the way employee benefits can.

Another point is that internship programs are for recruiting. I expect that Amazon's internship program and all its perks cost less per hire than their regular recruiting process.
For a vocational/associate degree (which this is for), tuition is only slightly higher than that. Some quick searching turns up that it takes 90 quarter credit-hours to get an A.S. or A.A.S. from a Washington community college, and the in-state tuition rate is $106 per credit hour (http://www.sbctc.edu/college/finance/2012-13LowerDivisionTui...). So that's $9540 for a degree. If you do it part-time spread over the 4 years that Amazon will pay for, Amazon will end up picking up $8000 of that, leaving $1540+books out of pocket.
Yeah, for some reason the url posted was just a full page bin, ie. the output of my saved code. So I've tweaked the page a little so it'll redirect to the /edit version so you can actually see JS Bin.
