Leaving out the major premise that the Wikipedia definition is to be accepted. There is no definition of terrorism: UN resolutions to the effect are regularly overturned. Different branches of US military use different definitions. Short a definition, your qualification argument is meaningless.
There are a lot of big companies who cannot even function without hiring tiny companies and freelancers to do the work. I've done marketing contracts for public companies as a one-man operation and had a shocking amount of control over the messaging. It's likely you'd find people at Samsung who think this sort of stuff is great and others who think it is abhorrent. That's the nature of big organizations.

New York, NY- Software Engineers, UX Designers (full time)

Conductor, Inc.
We're still growing and we're still looking for engineering talent to join our NYC based team. Conductor is building an enterprise marketing analytics solution that analyzes a company's web search presence. It's a big data product (we pull in 4TB of new information each week) and our engineers are working to solve challenges related to scale, performance and data visualization.

Our stack is Java based and we leverage an interesting mix of technologies server side to handle data: Mongo, Hadoop, Redis, plus processing tools like Kafka. Client side is developed using Javascript, Backbone, Handlebars and standard design languages.

Besides the chance to code in an interesting technical environment, Conductors have the benefit of working for the #2 Best Company to Work For in New York State.

Here's a snapshot of what a Conductor's day is like: http://vimeo.com/39843729

If you're interested you can either apply through our careers page (www.conductor.com/about/careers) or e-mail our Talent Ambassador directly (cwilterdink@conductor.com).
I would argue that HN is much easier to game than SO, which makes it doubly ironic.

This is interesting but then again the price point doesn't seem to help break the do-I-look-like-a-dork image[1]. Also without the handle wouldn't it feel that you're not in control of the machine? To me it would. At least the Segway has a handle.

Then again, I'd rather see this product through the lens of tomorrow. When we'd have more Teslas and Segways out there these unicycles too will find more acceptance. Fossilization of fossil fuel ones should kind of pave way for this type of hardware. Good luck to the guys building it!

If you look at it, you can see how many of the pixel buys were made by people themselves trying to copy the idea for "pixel ads". Even the day it came out I thought it was funny that people could think that would actually become a "thing". Ad space was too cheap to sell for that to be anything but a one-off gimmick. A cute gimmick, but obviously a gimmick from the moment it happened.

HN User Stephenbez - I owe you $20 for your feedback
First, other HN users, sorry for cluttering the board with this.

I offered a $20 amazon gift card for critiquing an idea a month ago & said I'd award it today. Stephenbez offered the best critique, but I can no longer comment on that thread.

This post is just to reach out to him and let him know to contact me about arranging the gift card.

Sorry again for the off topic comment, but I want to follow through on my offer.

I think there is a value to know when to do which. Some charities have more money than expertise. Some have more expertise than money. By giving a little time, you can see what's needed. For better or worse, the average person running a charitable organization has more good intentions than managerial or technical training.

You're conflating tools with products.

Having to understand electricity, trigonometry, and basic signal analysis to use an oscilloscope does not mean that oscilloscopes are not useful tools. Those are simply prerequisite knowledge to work as a professional in the field, and the tool is made for professionals.

Nobody is complaining that imperative programmers have to learn how memory works, how conditional control structures work, etc. And yet when functional programmers can benefit from learning category theory, suddenly it's a huge problem. This is just anti-intellectualism, nothing else. The term category theory scares people off, and so rather than acknowledge that failing within themselves, they throw it back on the functional programmers and say that programmers shouldn't have to learn category theory.

NB: You really don't need to learn category theory to program effectively in Haskell. You can benefit from it, but it is absolutely unnecessary.
Ethinic russians.

They have a very low fertility currently, and there are plenty of correlation between places that accept homosexuality as normal (instead of only tolerating it) and low fertility.

Of course, correlation is not causation, but what you think the majority of russians will think about the subject?
C++ Reading List
this is an incredibly short sighted view.

A threat should be evaluated on more than just historical performance. I don't agree with fear mongering based on unlikely events, but (much like unlikely financial downfalls) their probability is more than 0%, and possibly that % is significant. Unfortunately this is something that takes a long time to get good at, and resources have to be spent to get there over years of trial and error.

the damage done by 9/11 is colossal if you look at the economic and emotional cost. Do you really think it's equal to 2,977 drunk driver deaths?

furthermore, it is impossible to measure exactly what is prevented from catching a single terrorist. if 9/11 was thwarted who knows if we'd even hear about it. We don't know what we don't know. so unless you have some insight into what is actually accomplished by anit-terrorism programs it's silly to make such comparisons.

Lastly, nobody is saying we should ignore driver deaths. we have the resources to focus on multiple problems at once.

They aren't really out of touch at all. They (or more specifically their marketing arms) just don't care about abusing "communities of people passionate about *" for advertising purposes.

This is really no different than stuffing your mailbox with flyers, sending you spam or having the tv people write product placement into your favorite show.

Evidently it works, which is really disappointing.

But among which parties?

Blind allegiance and antipathy tend to bump into things frequently. The noise they cause makes them easy to spot.

There's noise in any community, but if it's the same alley cats, you learn to ignore them. I always scroll below to the end of the threads (one of the reasons I never seem to get anything done after landing on HN) to see what I've missed. The populist upvotes aren't always the most interesting and below aren't the least so as long as you follow your own rhythm, not swayed by language, it's easy to tell when someone tackles ideas than sentiment.
SEEKING WORK - Remote (Sweden based, travel negotiable)

I can help you setting up localization of your website, product or service and/or optimize your existing workflows. Recently I went part-time on my day job and starting up my own freelancing / consulting company, bringing my knowledge and experience from the translation industry into the start-up world which I'm following and have been interested in for years. I am also interested using my skills solving other problems you may have.

I have over 6 years of experience working in the translation industry doing wearing many hats: I am a Developer (.NET, Ruby, Javascript etc.), a System Administrator (mostly *nix but also some Windows experience), a Language Engineer, occasionally a Project Manager. But more than anything, I'm a generalist: I enjoy solving problems using whatever is appropriate for the task.

Some of my random accomplishments and pet projects are:

- Optimized a large Rails 3 site (http://www.rukkola.hu) for performance, with server-side tweaks and code-level changes (caching, queries etc.). Also created a bookmarklet for the site (https://github.com/KTamas/rukkola_hacks) that has now been shut down because it's features has been integrated into the website.

- Upgrading a Rails 0.14 application to 2.3 (https://github.com/ktamas/yubnub)

- Setting up a custom email server (Postfix, Dovecot, Amavis, custom Ruby scripts etc.)

- Operating a planet-line aggregator service (http://sharewood.hu) to act as a hub for content-sharing blogs (replacing the now-defunct Google Reader's sharing feature). A complete rewrite of an old aggregator written in Rails (https://github.com/KTamas/sharewood.hu)

Nanothermometer takes the temperature of living cells
I don't think this is a viable question. The value that the given good (money, expertise) has to the donating entity is of no concern for the people receiving it. For them, the value they can extract is of importance. So the interesting question is "if Toyota had cut a check of the same monetary value as their own costs, would that be of higher value to the charity?" and I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Even if the current savings may be lower than the cost of the engineers, the process changes will hopefully propagate and still bear fruit in a decade. Money would be gone by then.

I don't know exact numbers but the numbers you provided do not seem to add up. The Boston Marathon bombing caused an estimated $333M in damage directly? I don't think you can do direct damage like that with primitive pressure cooker bomb. And if you count lost human lives (their insurance etc.) than it's comparable to a bus accident or a bit bigger storm. In my eyes the reaction to it still seems like hysterical overreaction. Calculate all deaths caused by car accidents and compare that to the damage caused by terrorism... and it still seems that the 'war on cars' would be more reasonable than war on terrorism.

With it's connection to YC there's a bit of it implicit in the model - e.g. YC applications.

And, no I am not finding fault with the connection to YC or the special status, just pointing out that the HN playing field is not natural grass, and that it is that way for very reasonable reasons and that it is, in my opinion, almost certainly to the benefit of the HN community.

On a site with a larger commercial tie in, "astroturfing" like "weed" in a horticultural setting lacks scientific definition.
