Awesome work man! Nice to see people making use of DBpedia too, even if it's indirectly. (I'm sure it would be too slow without putting it in your own database.)

Are you going to put the source code up on Github? I'd love to see it, since I'm relatively new to messing around with Node and haven't even touched Socket.IO yet.
It was more of a one-sided conversation I guess ;-)
"If you really deeply care about something, you will do it" - this is simply not true. If it was just 'one thing' that you cared about, then this philosophy works but let's face reality. On any given day, we all have more than 'one thing' that we really care about and sometimes, if you don't make a list of these important 'todos', you are bound to forget one of those important things.
By removing comments, the Digg staff deserve to all get laid off.
Seriously, the only time I've see the "refactor later maybe" style work is when there are devs brave enough to ignore deadlines and use the weakest of excuses to refactor a class or system.

★ Ruby On Rails Developer ★

Our startup SupaDupa.me (http://supadupa.me/) is seeking a talented Ruby on Rails developer.

Our stack is latest Rails,HAML,Rspec etc.

You would be working with some talented people on a high quality product with some interesting technical and user challenges at all levels.

I personally promise every day will be different :)

Shoot me an email jason@supadupa.me to discuss.
Which, of course, I've just been informed is the "preferred" integration language for the project I'm presently working on. Sigh.
>I don't think this system is searchable.

How then can it be used to share anything? I can see how it could be used as a secure, distributed backup (which itself is rather handy) but I'm not sure how it can be used to distribute data.
The really interesting thing about the redesign of Digg, is in a way it's kind of the first example, of the possibility of seeing gentrification ported to the internet.

I don't think they will be successful, but its a really interesting concept.

One of the hardest parts of any kind of community driven website is to generate the community in the first place. Of course, as the idea of eternal september demonstrates communities deteriorates in quality over time as the community grows to a broader variety of people.

Its interesting then, to try to take an existing community that has settled at the lowest common denominator of content and to try to revitalize it.

If you take the metaphor further, if you think of artists as the cultivators of culture in a city. And the first step of gentrification is an increase in artists (typically seeking lower rent) who is the cultivators of culture in an internet community. Money doesn't really exist on the internet... well at least the classism associated with it (and rent) so what attracts these culture cultivators back?
Could someone provide some sort of a definition for the term "Simple Selling Market"? Is this essentially a competitor to Shopify?

Please do show us statistics though. I'm not saying you're wrong (I genuinely don't know) but you can't say other people don't have data to back their claims when you don't put any data forward yourself. Especially since you brought up the (controversial) argument, the burden of proof is on you.

Does facebook have any documentation anywhere listing exactly how they're making these connections?
Thanks for that. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
You want to know how to shoot it and you want some safety and maintenance training.

Absolutely! One needs to learn how to properly wield the weapon, and to do so safely. But "knowing" this stuff isn't sufficient to be able to do so successfully. You must train: practice at least until you can feel comfortable with the weapon: you know what the trigger pull and the recoil feels like, you are comfortable with the grip in your hand and smoothly bringing it up to position, etc.

For anyone crazy enough to believe what they see on television: you won't be able to just pick up a gun and shoot it properly without some experience. You just won't. Some of this is "book learning". But some of it is "you just need the practical experience". In particular, you will be very surprised at how difficult it is to use a handgun to hit a person-sized target in the far corner of your living room.

If you don't learn and practice with your gun, you're no more likely to be successful than you are at programming without actually doing a real project.
Huh? What does any of this have to do with CISPA?

There are good reasons to oppose CISPA. You shouldn't appreciate people trying to manipulate you into opposing it.
There's nothing anyone but yourself can do about "[...] a person's perception of herself and what people might be thinking, not the way others are acting."

Agreed.
On the other hand, for a person thinking negatively about himself or herself, the absence of feedback will often be interpreted as negative feedback.

Being nice to our colleagues (male or female or other minority group) and giving positive feedback when it's appropriate tends to increase a team's overall morale and productivity.
No. That 1996 article is wrong on that point, and fluffy on others. It's straightforward to calculate finger travels for typing words on various keyboard layouts [1], and Dvorak easily comes out on top. Placing e on the home row alone is probably a significant improvement. Compare the home rows:

asdf jkl; aoeu htns

Placement of high-frequency letters, especially vowels, reduces finger movement and eases typing. There's no magic about it.

>The fact that you can even safely criticize the NSA and feel secure that you won't be arrested is a testament to the freedoms the NSA helps preserve

The NSA going against the Constitution and conducting mass domestic surveillance is a funny way of "preserving freedom".

By offering uncritical support of institutions that undermine freedom you are working against freedom and helping the US continue to move in the direction of China.

Just how exactly will they do it? I'm really interested, maybe I'm missing something?

Boston MA, INTERN or REMOTE, full time

Android developer

The Woven team is looking for talented people to join our Copley Square-based team. We’re the company that brought you the litl webbook, an Internet computer for the home that’s been hailed as a “design miracle” by Fast Company, “truly new” by John Gruber, and “bold” and “refreshing” by Walt Mossberg.

With the launch of Woven, our photo viewing app, we’re increasingly focused on helping people enjoy their treasured photo collections through smart and simple mobile apps, desktop software, and supporting services. More information about Woven is available at its website, woventheapp.com.

As an Android developer at litl, you will build upon our Android app for Woven. You will be bringing a wide set of new features, working closely with our design, backend and QA teams. While initially working on Android, you will have opportunities to explore other areas, such as iOS or backend development.

While our headquarters are in Boston, we have developers from various parts of the world. Working remotely is common practice at litl.

Skill and requirements

. Proven record as an excellent Android developer, ideally a few applications in the Google Play store.

. Strong emphasis on code quality and maintainability. Code samples are most welcome.

. Experience with git strongly desired.

. Experience interfacing with web services is desirable.

. Experience with other platforms appreciated.

. Experience working in a small team of developers with strict code review policies is appreciated.

About litl

We're a small computer company with big ideas. Located in Boston, we also have people in London, Brazil, the Greek Isles...you get the idea. Our 60 person team consists of software developers, hardware engineers, industrial designers, user experience experts, graphic designers, evangelists, logistics gurus, and top-notch customer support. An unlikely mix, perhaps, but what we have in common is passion for creating compelling user experiences. Our four-year pursuit has been continually fueled by enthusiasm and excitement about our diverse set of projects. The results are always simple, useful and delightful.

"After RIM lost a long and brutal patent battle with NTP in early 2006, he says, lawyers came to dominate the culture. ... instead of daring to be bold, he says, employees worked in fear because, 'if something goes wrong, someone has to get fired.'" - Doesn't sound very pleasant at all!
Sadly, while you and I and a lot of people on HN might care about this, I don't know if this decision will have that huge of an impact. I think the general public will really pay that much attention to this decision, and it won't affect their decisions to list or use Craigslist.

I think in the end they will die, as better sites replace them (piecewise probably, I doubt there will be another general purpose classified site that pops up), but it will be because there is a better alternative in place.
Yea, it's light on the specs, but I feel it's a leap of faith that's reasonable to make when you have John Carmack, CliffyB, and Gabe Newell telling you to jump.

Contrast with Brazil, which has far stricter gun laws than the U.S. and far more gun deaths.
If we're talking about banning copyright altogether, that seems to go well beyond Stallman's position. His objection to these kinds of restrictions seems to only extend to software. (e.g., "Game art is a different issue, because it isn't software.")

You also seem to deeply misunderstand his position on copyright. Far from only functioning to "prevent individuals from creating or sharing their work", Stallman himself writes his essay "Misinterpreting Copyright" that he sees the function of copyright as a way to benefit end-users by incentivizing people to create and share their work. And with this I agree with Mr. Stallman - and apparently disagree with you - wholeheartedly.

The point where our opinions diverge is whether this goal is served or hindered by closed-source software. RMS contends that software is a sort of special case. He gives all sorts of reasons which are largely valid complaints, but ultimately he has failed to see the forest for the trees. His complaints are only of much note to a small elite of hackers like ourselves - for the vast majority of the population, they simply do not outweigh the advantages that he agrees justify the existence of copyright in any other situation. As far as most people are concerned, the kind of software that is produced most plentifully when motivated by the profit incentive that copyright is designed to create has improved people's quality of life to an extent that public domain software can match only under what history has shown to be a very limited set of circumstances. Oftentimes those circumstances relegate it to a critical but, one must admit, supporting role - SQLite has done much for a lot of people, but it tends to do the most when it's sitting behind commercial software. And in those situations public domain (or even Free) software is a very good thing.

But I don't get the impression that RMS particularly cares about that consideration - he's much more worried about his own desires as a hacker, and he's willing to tell other people that their desires as members of the technological laity are immoral in the service of those desires. Or perhaps he just doesn't see what he's doing. Either way he's never been opposed to copyright as you suggest. He's actually rather a fan of copyright. He just doesn't like it when it's keeping him out of the source code.

Now if we wanted to discuss whether copyright protections last for an order of mangitude longer than they should (which they do), or whether laws governing the enforcement of copyright are draconian (which they are), that would be different. And, incidentally, that's another spot where I wholeheartedly agree with the Free Software Foundation's position.
I've been considering finding someone to do this sort of thing for me (someday). I'd probably pay a certain percentage of the contract. Some people I know have expressed an interest in this sort of position, primarily because it would allow them to telecommute.

Depending on your needs, you could probably find someone to help you out. Finding someone with a bit of legal knowledge and experience might be a good idea. Try putting an ad up-- I bet you'd get a lot of responses.
