The issue there is that the "organic" results you're talking about that show in either the map or the carousel aren't organic at all - they're google local listings. As a restaurant, you are now incentivized to a) buy ads to get traffic from the ad units b) give google data (effectively building a whole other website) through google+/local.

You are very much being de-incentivized from investing in a page that is outside of google's universe, because you're only shot there is pure organic, which matters less and less.

In China the kids take on an extraordinary workload, because long hours show dedication - but they're not learning effectively - instead they all cheat, bribe the teacher, etc.

The appearance of working hard and actually working hard/effectively are two different things. Don't be fooled by cultures with endemic corruption.

"for Snowden to accept to move such countries would be openly admitting"

.. that no other country gave him asylum?

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

Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]." In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aiding or involved by such an endeavor.

^ that's a long queue, but Snowden isn't in it. But I think it could be argued that those who habitually hand over the democratic process to the highest bidders are.

There's still fierce debate over whether or not a thing exists that can be called "American culture," or whether or not such a thing even should exist. Until that's settled, I'm not sure it's a good idea to make a Cabinet-level post about it.

Then again, I've long been suspicious of the idea of engineering culture from above.
Right...but the head is sometimes considered to be the center of someone's identity...case in point, brain death is often considered to be the standard of actual death.

So if I find my head atop a different body...why shouldn't I label it as a body transplant? For those currently in cryogenic cranial freeze and who successfully are revived, would we not think of them as having new bodies, rather than the bodies having new heads?
Do we know whether or not Snowden is being held captive and/or being coerced by The Russians?

> Perhaps there would be less classroom disruption if friends could have time together outside of the one class they took together knowing that would be the only time they could be together?

There is. School ends at 2:30, upon which point they can enlist in formal or informal shared after-school activities. Turning classes into a free-for-all where no one needs to afford the teacher and other students any respect for their time and attention isn't a great option.

Plus, most classes I took in high school had plenty of group projects, small discussion groups, etc. that allowed for social interaction with friends in a non-lecture context.

I don't know about the sock market, but there are lots of categories where the arms race for user revenue-maximization has either not yet started, or everyone is using very old techniques.

A better example would be someone selling "cheap" socks but with expensive shipping. Or, aggressively upselling additional sock products in the checkout, possibly with FTC-unfriendly opt-in vs opt-out methods. Or, hammering their users with advertising after the sale by email and phone.

When a particular vertical market gets aggressive, the item being advertised usually brings little, no, or negative revenue to the advertiser, and all of the money is made on the back.
The pageless Web
Before Google, people used to use Yahoo directory to find links.The only all encompassing directory in competition now with Google search is Wikipedia (not even its intended purpose)

People can use Yelp to find Italian restaurants in San Francisco but try typing the same in Wikipedia.

Is there any personalized search engine which lets you choose Yelp/Zagat/Tripadvisor when you type in that keyword? and maybe pull down Google map so Google doesnt feel left out ;)
Thanks for the reply. It was an honest question. I'm in IT and am responsible for FF being on the default image of hundreds of PC installs. I want to see FF desktop competitive, so that we all have a choice again.

It's great that Mozilla is experimenting with new tech like FF OS, but It takes a great deal more resources to turn an experiment into a shipping product. And it's clear from the state of their desktop browser that their focus in on FF OS.

It's clear that Mozilla is resource limited. I was also pushing for Thunderbird to replace Outlook, but after Mozilla's announcement that they were ending feature updates, that is never going to happen now.
I've been thinking about this too. IMHO, the only reason to advertise that is beneficial for both the consumer and the advertiser, is to provide information. Ie.: our product is objectively better than the competition for certain consumers, but the problem is, they don't know about us. So we create a ad campaign, that will be beneficial for both the consumers and our company.
So is this going to be like android where facebook app is compulsory?
It doesn't seem to provide much in the way of competing directly with Typekit. Still, this is big news for a lot of people.

H&FJ is practically THE type foundry for original typefaces. They compete on quality rather than price or other tangible benefits. Unfortunately, it's been impossible to license H&FJ type for real web use until now.

The most likely group of people who will use this are type enthusiasts who prefer H&FJ type to the competition's. I can predict there are a lot of designers who will use this service for their personal or business sites.

As a competitive offering, though, this doesn't cut it. Buying individual fonts feels outdated to web font users, and the prices don't match up to Typekit (free with Adobe CC) or Monotype/Linotype ($10/month without a ridiculous 5 font cap).

H&FJ has chosen their business model, and they'd like to avoid the brand dilution of having poorly designed sites overusing their type. It's an interesting choice, and I hope it works out for them.

I had a H.S. teacher admit to my mother that she was grading me on a scale that included how "distracted" I was by my girlfriend in the class. Little did she know that we had broken up months prior, and every guy in the class was probably distracted by her at some point.

I had a second teacher that was giving myself and my friends lower grades in computer class, because we were "goofing off" -- making websites, chat portals, playing with VB, etc. After completing our weekly assignments in the first day of the week, we were applying ourselves to higher levels of computing, which she equated to us not doing our work; in reality, she had no idea what we were actually doing or what a computer could be made to do that wasn't outlined in her spiral-bound curriculum.

Well, it isnt for me. I use Google+ and Youtube frequently and these services consume a LOT of memory. When i close these tabs , Firefox keeps holding this memory space alocated. Generally i need to use some app to remove the 'inactive' memory alocated by FF. I don't think this is a 'plus'.
How to Engineer Your Startup
I've really tried to make a go of getting out of the google verse. I set DuckDuckGo as my default but it was interfering with my ability to work, when searching for code. I'm using Bing as my default but occasionally I still use google for searching some snippets.
I was one of the calm and orderly boys in school. However, this was because merely being at school where I didn't want to be made me mostly lethargic. I didn't have any energy left to make a scene as I was busy counting hours until the day ended. To be precise, since the first week of the first grade I practically counted days till the end of high school when I knew this suffering would end.

I did get good grades not because I was interested but because school was way too easy. I never even studied for exams except the last evening before, and that was mostly glancing at the books, yet I was always among the handful of best in the classroom. That is, until teenage when I realize I don't need all this bullshit and deliberately began to focus only on the few interesting subjects the school had to offer, and defocus on everything else. Didn't do too bad even after that.

I still think it was such a waste of years, and I'm trying to imagine a better way to waste it. I can come up with lots of ideas but very few of them would fit all people. I would've enjoyed a more fast-paced and in-depth classes of my favorite topic at the expense of the subjects I wasn't interested. I think different people ultimately need different kind of environment to be taught in, and I think that the current homogeneous standard schooling is likely to kill more of natural curiosity than sow it. I don't think any standard schooling works for all, unless it's so reduced down to the very, very basics (reading, writing, basic arithmetics) that everyone absolutely needs and which they can build on top of.

Interaction / Interface Designer – EyeQuant.com – Berlin, Germany

EyeQuant is a SaaS company that uses neuroscience and machine learning to optimize interfaces for higher conversion rates. We're spun out of Caltech, our customers include Google and Spotify and we're backed by some fantastic investors.

We're now looking for our first full-time designer to join our team of 7 in Berlin. You'd be responsible for all interaction and visual design in our products.

Here's what we think is important about the role:

• Code – You won't be expected to write production code, but you should know
your medium well: what's possible with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and what's easy
or hard. Most importantly, you know how to communicate effectively with your
developer peers.

• User research – You should care deeply about the people you're designing for,
and willing to get involved in research. If you're passionate about running
guerilla user research for the team yourself, that's great, but not a
requirement.

• Interaction vs. visual design – All else being equal, we prefer someone who is
great at organising information and making complex flows feel simple over
someone whose core strength is crafting beautiful interfaces. We're a small
team though, so you will be doing a bit of both.

All that said, none of us come from a design background, so we'd love to hear from you if you disagree with any of the above and think you'd be a fit!

You should come with an interest in quantitative evaluation of design efforts - both with our own products and A/B testing. If you think that's heresy, you won't be happy at EyeQuant. If you believe that design and science have a lot to learn from each other, you'll have a shot at shaping the very industry itself.

Since I've switched mostly to a browser that doesn't support Javascript, I've stopped voting on HN.

Not voting is also a good way to avoid being tracked and pigeonholed.

It's true that if everybody did that, this site would be a lot less useful. However, I'm not convinced that some sort of anonymous yet secure and transparent voting system can't be implemented.

But, while voting requires enabling technolgy that will help others track and pigeonhole me, as well as make my system less secure, I'm going to avoid it.

Fortunately, HN is still readable without Javascript (even though it annoyingly doesn't indent threaded comments properly without it -- something that Slashdot manages to do just fine without requiring JS).
Maybe so, but this didn't come across as an infographic whose purpose was to summarize information. Rather, it seems like a lecture to Americans about certain well-known and thoroughly discussed problems -- a lecture whose points the majority of Americans who read HN undoubtedly already agree with.

5KMVP is seeking Rails developers that communicate well, and are able to work on very defined scopes - most of which are "startupy" in nature, but more importantly are not unwieldy.

You will learn about many different industries, and get exposed to the quirks of interesting markets.

Must be willing to build a complete app, from a well-defined scope of work, for a flat-fee.

Must Have:

- Demonstrable Rails 3 proficiency (i.e. a portfolio, github account, etc.)

- Be flexible and can figure stuff out

- Experience with Bootstrap, jQuery, CSS, ERB, etc.

Email: marc.gayle+railsdev@gmail.com with the subject line "Rails Dev for 5KMVP".

Include a portfolio (live links on Heroku preferrable, as well as a Github/Bitbucket account) and a reference to at least 1 successful client.

The most important thing I am looking for is clear, prompt, honest communication. If you can't do something, let me know...and we can work around it - if you are a good fit.

Amazing JS/CSS3 Modal Window Effects
If we assume "etting Snowden fall into the clutches of Russian intelligence may be a far better deterrent to future leakers than a 'clean' prosecution and imprisonment here in the US", then surely if the Russians are capable of thinking long-term then treating Snowden nicely is in their best interest (why would they want to play into discouraging future American leaks?).
You seem to be thinking of a post that defines and encourages or even enforces a specific set of things as "American culture". But I think it would be useful to have a person who just stands up for cultural things in general. For example, funding for art and music in public schools has been on the decline for a long time. It might be good to have a cabinet-level position that had some clout to push back.
