It also seemed odd to me that so much was under "Finance Department". I'd figured Finance would cover the actual bookkeepers, interest on bonds, and other things related to money in the abstract. From its size that budget must also be "Stuff that doesn't go anywhere else".

This has been posted before, as indicated by ben1040's comment, but it's worth reading again.
It doesn't, and nor do any images created for a theme, but the WordPress Foundation have taken a stance of insisting that anyone providing a theme that contains any non GPL elements is not allowed to speak / help organise a WordCamp conference.

So, this isn't strictly about what's legally required to fall under the GPL.
I built a website in or around '97 on geocities. You talk about metatags being required for indexing but I think you forget that the web was young once. Google had a voracious appetite to index and they still do.

The barrier to entry for someone to build a website in '97 wasn't much higher than it is now. Things just look prettier these days.
Sure, I'm asserting that the laws aren't even wrong, let alone would they ever be changed in the direction the OP wants. I don't think it is credible to claim these actions are criminally damaging. I don't think copyright infringement is criminally damaging either, mind you, but that's somewhat off topic.

I moved to Berlin with my cofounder three months ago and could not be happier. Berlin is more about the early-stage startup but there are a few at the bigger/exit stage as well.

This city is hungry for Rails developers so you should not have too much of a problem finding work, whether freelance or for a team.

Berlin is cheap to live in, costs are about half of what they are in London from what I understand. The city is very much alive in a lot of ways, and the start-up community is tight knit but accepting and diverse.

I speak English with only rudimentary German and have yet to run into any serious problems in the startup scene, or even basics like renting a flat.

If you are visiting within the next couple of months let me know, I might be able to introduce you to some teams who are hiring and give you an overview in general.

>>So, if you're new to development, it's probably best to build small products (wp plugins, niche sites etc.) to build your portfolio, earn a little cash and more importantly increase your knowledge and experience.

Yes, this is the tact I would take. I talked about this exact topic in-depth on a recent episode of Foolish Adventure: http://foolishadventure.com/audio/how-to-market-your-softwar...

Early successes are huge not only for you learning the ropes of outsourcing/marketing and giving yourself a small financial cushion, but also for building your confidence that you can make this happen.

>>Rob, is it possible that some people just get lucky with a great outsourced developer?

Good point. This is definitely possible. In my list of the 3 factors above I should have added a 4th: You find an awesome developer, whether through luck, having a great network, or knowing how to hire.

But it's just another variable that impacts that continuum I mentioned and pushes you more towards that 90% or 10% end.

>>For example, you've said on various podcasts that you're an advocate of VAs but have you had more than 1 or 2? Presumably, as soon as one works, you stick with him/her - perhaps that's luck rather than learning?

My success rate at hiring and managing VAs, developers, designers, writers, etc... is waaay better than it was when I started (at least 2x better, maybe 3x). I attribute this to getting better at both hiring (i.e., choosing the right fit) and managing/delegating (i.e. having more skill with outsourcing).

> If he had decided to participate in the recruitment embargo, it certainly would not have been acknowledged in an email for all the discovery reasons that make this a compelling PR piece.

Not so sure. For the companies that did participate (Google, Adobe, Intel, Intuit, Lucasfilm), there seem to have ben plenty of written documents circulating, including "do not call lists" of competitor's employees that HR was not allowed to contact.

Finally someone with the power to change things, takes a realistic stance on the issue. Hopefully she will act on her words as well.
Agreed. This is the second such story in recent memory, the first being the fake leak of the "Sony Nexus X" in late 2012[1]. At this point I can't remember the last "real" fake leak.

To me this format all just seems like so much anonymous attention-seeking. The little tumblr-based "How I did it" blog posts are always absolutely dripping with poorly concealed pride about how successful the hoax was.

Labour doesn't need protecting by Uncle Sam if there are no laws preventing cross soliciting and fair market value for their services.

And speaking of government intervention, are patents not a form of that? In particular, a form of government intervention being used here to try to prevent competition for employees?

Would the libertarian position not be to abolish both patents and also enforcement of any kind of non-solicit provisions, thus promoting a completely free market for workers and companies?
This sort of thing can only further degrade the quality of information that Facebook has at their disposal. Let me elaborate:

When Google started with Pagerank, making a link was technically hard, so each link was a vote of confidence made by a person, who is on average technically literate, and so on average is well-educated. As the first CMS systems emerged, they were still a pain to use, so only the most motivated people were making links, presumably those people also put some effort into researching their subject. The community of less educated and/or motivated people then could use Google to discover information that was effectively hand-sorted for them by the more educated and motivated. As adding weight to the link graph became easier, the quality of information began to fall.

Enter Facebook - liking a page is the easiest thing you can do, takes no effort and there are no educational barriers. On the contrary, the most educated people will see this sort of shenanigans and they will stop "liking" anything at all. The less educated will continue to "like" things left and right, making it even more repulsive for the educated. Long term the entirety of information Facebook has in their possession is filled with celebrity gossip, urban legends, chain letters, cute kittens, horoscopes, feel-good wisdom quotes, etc - all that information that is heavy on emotional engagement, but light on actual information.

There in lies the problem with "social search" - garbage in, garbage out.
We redesigned the whole site from ground up to make the portfolio creation efficient and for developers to be able to add references (clients/collaborators) to their portfolio.
Last summer I was searching for a quiet place to work outside the house, and was really racking my brain. I finally thought hey, library! But wait, do they still have those things? Of course they do, so I thought great, that place will be like a morgue. Wow, it was hopping with young, old, everything in between, on a summer weekday. In fact it was so distracting that I had to leave and hit up a starbucks for some relative quiet.
> I could interpret that in about many different ways

If you look at the graphic that always comes with this question, there's only one way you could possibly interpret it. If you somehow misinterpret the text, you would know immediately when you test your mental model against the graphic.

To be fair, the screwed up formatting in the OP makes it a little harder to understand; in an interview it would be laid out correctly.
> However, in other situations, the business self-motivated interests are contradictory to those interests of their customers, employees, and their citizen neighbors. In these cases, the government needs to make sure that these businesses don't run amok and totally ruin the environment, the economy, and the market as a whole.

I dont think that's how many on HN view it and also to the point:

The bargaining chips Jobs is using to promote these anti-competitive practices only exist because of government intervention. If the government is going to provide companies with an effective monopoly (patents), under the argument that it (allegedly) promotes innovation, then they should be held accountable for balancing those forces when they are abused (in this case, abusing workers). I dont think that's contradictory in a "Pro when it helps me, anti when it hurts me way". Take out the Patents, and the problem (arguably) goes away entirely.
How did you learn programming? How did you learn about browsers and computers etc.?

Did you NEVER ask anybody any questions at the beginning?

You surely did. Why do you feel the need to keep the joy of programming just for yourself or just for the ones who came before now and learnt it a few years ago? Am I stealing your work when I learn programming? Do you absolutely HAVE to answer dumb questions on stackoverflow? You can just ignore the stuff you don't like, you know.

That's not what it means. The agreement was that e.g. recruiters from Apple would not actively attempt to recruit Google employees, i.e. solicit them. They couldn't really prevent a Google employee from applying for a job at Apple though if they're the one to initiate it. (What are they going to do, ask "Do you still work at Google, or did you recently quit? Still there? Sorry we can't interview you in that case."?)
This is pretty cool.

I had to do one other thing (I'm using Canary on x64/Windows 7) I didn't see mentioned in the post to get this to work, which is to add an empty file named ".allow-devtools-edit" to the directory I was adding as a workspace before adding it in the devtools settings.

Prior to doing this, adding the directory was failing in a way where it wasn't obvious what the problem was (Chrome prints out the message to add this file to its DevTools console, but if you don't have that open there's no way to tell why adding the workspace directory failed).
How so? Inferring which implementation of "read" to use based on the types is exactly the same spirit of inferring which implementation of "length" to use. Haskell can maintain consistency in both, but dynamically typed languages must revert to explicitly choosing the implementation in the former.
Exactly, expecting that "professional" news reporters and journalists don't operate under other biases is also naive.

Bloggers have their flaws, but so does mainstream news.
Sorry for hijacking the topic but I need to ask something.

I recently purchased a 3770k and all other parts arrived today. The documentation[1] says 3700k supports Vt-x but not Vt-d. Does that affect anything at all ?

IIRC this report fits in with earlier stories which reported that Jobs was active in pushing for no-hire agreements to be set up in the first place. That does make him look worse than Schmidt, who afaik hasn't (yet?) been revealed as an initiator. Though neither man looks like an oil painting now.
Which is nice for them, because they can then legally use it in their service and charge for it (without giving anything back because it's only a service).

Seemed to me he was claiming both the poacher and preventer of poaching are treating people as property. But I can see my mistake.

But that's not the band on which this is transmitting.
Maybe I'm just glossing over it. The sense I got from the book was that he did a lot of stuff with diet and alternative medicine, but he also refused to focus on the problem until it was too late. One would hope that if he were that focused on it, he would have changed his mind about treatment in time to actually do something about it, rather than letting it sneak up on him for a year.
>>This line of reasoning requires the belief that a company has some special claim to you, which I find pretty distasteful. The company doesn't own you, you are not an indentured servant.

Neither does your girlfriend. You are not an indentured servant to her. But the fact that you are dating her means that there is mutual trust on both sides, similar to that in an employee-employer arrangement. Poaching undermines that trust.

edit: not sure why I'm getting downvoted. "Don't downvote simply because you disagree" was an unspoken rule, I thought? If you have a disagreement, voice it.
If Palm had agreed "we won't hire anyone coming from Apple", that would be illegal under antitrust law. If they had agreed not to actively recruit Apple employees, that might be OK but would still look sketchy.
It's usually a good idea when user testing to tell testers as little as possible about the product. It's true that real-world users have more context than that, but it can be worth it to get more unfiltered feedback— the first few moments you watch a user flounder to even understand what they're looking at can be the most valuable.
This is so true. I've only been programming for around a year, but I now have a much better understanding of what goes on under the hood. In the last few months, I've gone from doing 100% to 20% of the coding as I'm now working with a better developer than myself, but the understanding alone has given me a huge leg up on other CEOs/product people who have no experience programming.
Ah, good stuff, didn't know Chrome for Android could do that!
I feel like they don't want to spell it out. It allows them to gain a ton of value and IP to then wrap up and sell on their site as part of a service (without giving anything back).
I never studied it or even heard of it. So from my perspective it is obscure.

I've never needed this in my programming career up until now. Have you?
Exactly right, cloverich.
Do you know what their policy is on images licensed under CC?
The problem with this is that there is an actual legal GPL license but also what is referred to as the "spirit" of GPL.

WTF "spirit" is comes down to whatever the founder wants it to be, in this case Matt has decided to target developers instead of addressing the issue with Envato or the community. It has created a confusing situation with good people stuck in the middle.

Why was Jake Caputo singled out, several WordCamp speakers and even core contributors have items on Envato. Are developers going to have to submit under pseudonyms so they can make a living?

Envato itself sponsors the WordPress community summit (and past wordcamps). Do they not see this as a mixed signal?

Who exactly is behind the elusive wordpress.org foundation, is it a private foundation run only by Matt himself?

How are the foundation goals not polluted by having the same director of the closed source wordpress.com (who also sell premium themes but in the context of a "service").

Why does the "spirit" of GPL apply to a large company and not me, for example I can copyright my images/graphics in a WordPress theme and still comply with the license, but Envato can't?

Is the line drawn when only when a theme is distributed? What about all the theme shops that have non GPL creative work in them?

Is Wordpress.com exempt because it is a service, what is preventing Envato or anyone else from starting it's own split-license theme "service". What exactly is the difference between a theme service and a theme distributor?

ps. The original article and discussion is here: http://www.designcrumbs.com/automatically-blackballed
It doesn't seem that WordPress wants to make an exception. That is, the license without exceptions is functioning exactly as they intend, and they think ThemeForest is doing something wrong, not should-be-right-but-is-technically-wrong.

In most cities this also covers revenues, aka tax collection. It would be nice to see the breakdown on how much of the budget is dedicated to collecting taxes to fund the budget.

This is why reputation and reliability matter. While the example in this post is the equivalent of "I got major news outlets like TMZ to think that Paris Hilton was getting married" many types of news aren't so inconsequential. In the first few days after the Connecticut shooting, there were so many inaccuracies it made me reconsider other "facts" I heard which were never obviously wrong (e.g. it became obvious that the shooter's name was wrong when he was in New York - most inaccuracies aren't like this). Like many blogs, the "source" of misinformation often originated in a single benign inaccuracy that was then propagated through other news agencies.

What I would love to see is a method for tracking or indexing reputation of a site by some automatic method. As it is, I can kind of infer how reliable a site is based on the language I see, and the types of headlines, and whether others have told me it's reputable. I would love to see that automated somehow. News aggregators try to solve this via upvotes, downvotes, or flags, but there are plenty of reasons to upvote that have nothing to do with reliability per se, and trying to use multiple upvoting buttons seems silly, because at the end of the day rank is a one-dimensional property, so you'll have to combine "funny", "reliable", "interesting" into some single number.

It's a "hard problem" but since the value of information depends so heavily on its accuracy, solving it would appear to be very lucrative and valuable to a society in which the quantity of available information grows by leaps and bounds each year. Google seems to have solved "relevance" and I would love to see someone solve reliability.

Part of my strategy for the company I'm developing means working in sync with what seems optimal in the long term.

Based upon what I've gleaned from the Happiness Hypothesis, this means daily I do the following:

- Meditation (Space for subconscious processing of problems to bubble up)
- Time spent with Family / Friends (One of the key processes for happiness)
- Exercise (Preferably in nature)
- Cooking / Eating well
- Making progress on a Goal (Users added, etc.)
- Continuing a practice towards mastery (IE Skateboarding/photography/writing)
- Giving back in some way

It's a lot to squeeze into a life, and on top of that, building a business. Doesn't leave much time for TV and games.

But I think most business is done in an unsustainable process, one that burns people out. If you want to work optimally, you've got to have time away from the meat grinder.
> Well, I'd be careful with that. The open source project I contribute to (KDE) has quite a bit of GPL'ed code, but it also has quite a bit of other licenses in use, so it is certainly possible to have arbitrary licenses that make up a given single derivative work.

Yes, so long as those other license are GPL-compatible. 3-clause BSD, MIT, ISC, etc. are all GPL-compatible. The license that Envato is allowing or using for the non-PHP theme assets is not, so the question does become one of whether the theme assets are a derivative work.
I had to ask seemingly "dumb" questions a lot when I started programming. I switched to software after having been a classical musician for many years and the transition in just learning a whole new world of vocabulary and how everything worked was pretty rough for about a year. Luckily, there were enough patient people to help me get through that and answer my questions. I wanted to learn to program pretty badly, I just didn't have the background to converse fluently right away.
