Yeah definitely its a 1st-world problem. But in context, there's more money and value being squandered in Silicon Valley due to this crime, than if it occurred in many other areas.
Would be difficult to school them in any meaningful way if he was not already proficient. Teaching is hard, particularly if you are trying to do something different to the standard (& therefore supported) model.
So... you think folks should definitely go preaching everywhere they go? Is that the stupid part? Confused.

" On the other hand, regulation was used both to stop an exploitation by the market "

I don't see any evidence that regulation stopped the behavior in this case. Perhaps the law will be used after the fact to sue or jail some people, but it doesn't seem to be what actually stopped the problem.

As another poster said, the class action date ranges end in 2009 because Facebook (a private company) wouldn't play ball.

Capitalism is a messy system, but it does tend to self correct in the long run.

So let me get this straight:

Conservative group buys stock in Apple. During shareholder meeting asks CEO to report detailed and accurate figures regarding sustainability costs.

CEO goes off on a bit of a restrained tear, telling the group if they don't like Apple's sustainability policies they should get out of the stock.

So, since Apple fans have long been the left-leaning, creative, wine and croissant crowd, was this a paid publicity stunt? Or just simple happenstance? This kind of story is like giving away free candy. People can argue the politics of it, people can talk about the role of profit in corporate governance, people can argue about climate science. Coverage of the story just goes on and on.

Seriously, you couldn't ask for a better PR platform. I'm pretty damn close to calling bullshit on this entire story.
Nope; just that you've been at it, studying and trying. The (Gladwell) examples are of folks in groups that learned together.
> Does OSM have bike paths?

http://www.opencyclemap.org/

> Does it have bus routes, train schedules?

http://www.öpnvkarte.de/

It has the routes, but no it does not have train schedules. Why? Because OpenStreetMap is just a basic map. It is not supposed to have such information.
Someone has to write an app that uses the OSM data and then add the schedules.

For example: http://fahrinfo.vbb.de/bin/help.exe/dn?L=vs_mobilitymap&tpl=... (enable checkboxes on the right)
- OSM Map Data combined with data from the transport assoziation

Btw. I guess you are from the US? Because good luck finding those schedules in Google Maps outside the US. Germany for example only has trains. No Buse and Tram data.
Fitbit (https://www.fitbit.com/jobs) is hiring in Boston and San Francisco.

I'll talk about Boston where we're hiring Software Engineers at all levels. There are 10 engineers in the office and we're looking to grow to 40 by year's end.

We need one iOS developer and lots of full-stack web developers for a variety of projects.

I've been at Fitbit since November (previously Google) and Fitbit is an awesome place to work. The company culture is fantastic. The people are great to work with. The Boston office feels like a startup because it's so small and new, yet we're well-funded and secure. Everywhere I go people tell me they love our product or know someone who loves it and talks about it.

Send resumes and/or questions to blewis@ the obvious domain, or post questions here, or look for me near the Fitbit booth at the Boston Web Innovators Group on Monday night.
Yes, I got that. As in 64k (or 640k) ought to be enough for anyone.

And my point was, well, it's not ;-)
I use this but I feel there is a lot of room left for improvement, does anyone have a better android OSM client?
Tablo - Australia, Melbourne - http://tablo.io/jobs

We're looking for a senior web developer to help build the future of publishing. Work with a small team that's backed by incredible investors, build products that are used and loved by authors in over 100 countries.
What does "hipster argument" mean?

I'm surprised at how quickly people advocating for OSM make the comparisons to Google maps. The user facing stuff at openstreetmap.org isn't comparable to maps.google.com or the various Google apps.

But OpenStreetMap isn't just the tiles you see at osm.org, it is a data product that you can adapt to whatever you need, for the simple price of attribution. And while the data is not complete, the global coverage is increasingly reasonable.

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

---------------------------------------

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software. We're hiring for full time and summer intern positions as software developers and software designers.

A little bit about us:

- We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.

- Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we don't artificially limit ourselves.
Recently, I've worked with Objective-C, Backbone.js (inside PhoneGap),
Angular.js, QT and of course Ruby.

- We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
rare by design.

- We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

- We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

- We run a makerspace in our building (http://grmakers.com), which gives us access
to lots of cool machines.

A little bit about Grand Rapids:

- 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

- Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

- If you’re renting anything larger than a breadbox in the Bay Area or NYC,
you can afford a house here. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

- A growing technology and startup community.

A little bit about you:

- You love making software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.

- You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
afraid to use more. It would be nice if you use and love Ruby, but not required.

- You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

- You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

I'm a software craftsman on this awesome team. If you're interested, get in touch with me:

Freestone (San Francisco) - preferably local (possible remote contract)

Freestone is an early stage (bootstrapped) startup working on a couple of different interesting projects. Our main project right now is building an experimental tool to help people live more aligned with the things that matter most to them. If this sounds interesting to you, I'd love to talk.

Right now we're looking for either a full stack or front end engineer. Ideally you'll have a strong background in one or more areas -- Ruby/Rails, JS/Coffeescript/Angular.js, natural language processing, and data analytics.

We're a small but ambitious team of folks and everyone wears many hats. This is an ideal position for an engineer looking to play a significant role in the success of our company and direction of our products.

Shoot me an email at tyler@freestoneinternational.com
It's interesting that this particular article should bubble up at HN. You only have to look at all the self-help and New Age gurus clogging up PBS and the top of the Amazon best sellers to realize that a huge number of people got stuck somewhere between realizing that religious beliefs are unlikely to be real and accepting that their consciousness is an emergent phenomenon.

The honest try to get the masses un-stuck. The dishonest and evil people exploit them or justify a tawdry and easy elitism through this situation.
Agreed. My musician son practices a new piece slowly, deliberately, speeding up as he gets it down. Takes a day or two for a piece that way - no wasted time unlearning/reworking early screw-ups that became routine.
OpenDNS - http://www.opendns.com/jobs - full time

Positions available in security research, engineering, and product management.

At OpenDNS, we study how the internet communicates to build security products. We provide a free DNS service that powers 2% of the internet. The 50 billion daily DNS queries that we serve provide a way to study how the internet - including malicious software - communicates.

The results are pretty cool: http://www.opendns.com/2013/

We don't just stop there - we just announced a new tool for studying malware that uses DNS to sinkhole potentially malicious websites. We can point a website at a sinkhole using our DNS resolvers, and get granular data from the TCP packets that allow us to understand how the server is used.

http://labs.umbrella.com/2014/02/28/dns-sinkhole/

We had an amazing week at RSA Conference, and we seek talented people with interests in security and big data to join our team in San Francisco and Vancouver.
The experiment has been tried in downhill skiing too, I can think of several competitors at the Sochi Olympics who were coached by their (not expert skier) fathers.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

I'm a Ruby developer based in London, looking for contract work to go alongside my part-time work at a successful YC startup and my undergraduate studies.

I love working in Rails, and have particularly outstanding experience building Twilio applications, from whole-company phone systems to small SMS services. I spoke about a cloud-based phone system I built at Twilio's European conference in 2013.

Apart from that, I have plenty of general Ruby experience, working with clients from charities to web hosting companies. I'm not afraid to work in Javascript, HTML5 and CSS3, and am happy to negotiate on price to find an arrangement that works for you.

I'd find it very disturbing if someone started discussing their genitals over dinner, though, whilst a discussion about faith and religion can be interesting and fun.
The issue is even worse than this article suggests. The article focuses on graduates. But students who fail to graduate, for whatever reason, are even worse off. They usually can't payoff their debt, so they go into default and have their credit destroyed for the rest of their lives. They can't try to go back to school later because they can't get new loans, and, with the latest laws, can't even transfer the credits they had. It becomes a catch-22 and downward spiral.
Qinec - Waterloo, London, UK.

Variety of different engineering positions in both devops and pure development roles. Our core focus is a PHP/MySQL healthcare application that has seen significant traction in a variety of outpatient settings with some of the key names in each market area it's in.

We're looking primarily for good PHP coders (aka excellent programmers who happen to know PHP amongst their other tongues), probably with Symfony (or similar experience), and not just a range of good technical knowledge (DB use/optimisation, architectural design, etc.) but also hot on secure application design, and an eye for business requirements.

We have an awesome environment, a great team, and more than all of this, an incredible product which makes significant difference to the customers who deploy it. Join us!

Cool! Somebody like you was at work 160 years ago in California - recently 6 cans of gold were discovered buried under an ancient oak tree after a rain.
OSM is the data. That map is meant for mappers. There are countless other maps based on the data. One of them might be more for you. Try mapquest's or the humanitarian style.
It blows my mind that it costs $400k to become a quality dentist in the USA these days.

No wonder I see people train overseas and then just get a license here.

How is health care ever going to be affordable in this country if the doctors and dentists have to carry so much debt?

Which begs the question: Why doesn't Google supplement their maps with OSM data?
I imagine; yet its a notorious avoid-at-all-costs issue around many groups of friends.
The same is true of any advice, generally. Giving people diatribes on all that's wrong with Windows and all that's right with Ubuntu doesn't produce many converts, and probably gives Ubuntu a bad name. But if someone says "I hate Windows, because it's expensive and made by Microsoft" then it would be entirely appropriate for me to talk about Ubuntu.

I'm that way with religion. I don't walk up to people outside the station telling them to repent, but if someone told me they were having a hard time in life right now, I might suggest coming to church with me one Sunday.

Stealth Healthcare Startup -- Boston, MA

Under-the-radar seed-funded startup in the healthcare sector. Our search isn't public yet, but we're looking for a senior rails engineer who wants to lead a team and get involved with all aspects of the business. We have paying enterprise customers and are solving a billion dollar problem that everyone in healthcare is focused on right now--care coordination.

This role requires technical expertise, management ability, business savvy, and the ability to laugh at yourself when you make mistakes (because we all do). You will learn a lot.

Meaningful early-stage equity, market salary, and incredibly smart coworkers.

If this sounds interesting at all, my email is in my profile.

SEEKING WORK - Remote (Based in Perth, Australia)

I'm one of those right-brain centric big picture thinkers, so I have a knack for joining the dots between disparate systems and coming up with novel solutions. I'm a full stack developer but I have a preference for the frontend, particularly AngularJS.

Here's a quick laundry list of technologies that are fresh in my cranium:

Frontend: HTML5(canvas, filesystem ...), AngularJS, KineticJS, Bootstrap, Less, Facebook & Twitter API

Backend: Play!, web2py, Google App Engine

Languages: javascript, java, python tcl

Couple of things I've built:

Uh, that's the same guy the article mentions.

I work at a think tank, and no, this is not what think tanks are. (Not most, anyway.)
It's certainly not a solution, more of a coping process. If the EU has a bunch of bureaucracy, having a project managed by someone who knows how to navigate bureaucracy streamlines things.

Alternatives are opting out of EU projects entirely (possible for some people, not for others), or revamping the EU funding process (difficult, way above my level of authority to do anything about).
I saw a Bing street view car recently in SF Bay Area. It was the weirdest thing.
I think it really depends on the company and context. E.g. if it is truly an "acqua-hire" for team members only, it is 4 years. If there is some IP, asset, or expertise thrown in the timeframes can be shorter. It also depends on the company doing the acquiring....

Calling that a ‘feature’ seems somewhat strange to me – the native maps applications on both my E63 and N9 allow me to download whole countries (or parts of them) onto my phone.
Well, it was one way of getting around California's unique non-competes are unenforceable law.

I believe that more than anything else, that's responsible for the Bay Area's long term technological ecosystem success.
I've been using OSM for ages on Android for navigation and I'm very happy about it.

What it really needs is an easy way to be used as a maps replacement. Something akin the openpdroid patch, but for the maps layer.

I'd donate/contribute, but I don't have the time to do it myself.
its even worse than that..

Currently, if you have no income you are harassed to get into the payment by income program but that program requires you to make payments on previous loan payment program to become fully qualified for that lower payment plan.

So guess what happens? Congress in their wisdom limited said plan to one try. That is right most of the people on that default list could have been avoided if the limit income plan was implemented properly.
Norwegian here.

I can't really translate your first quote, but a better translation of the second one is:

" 'If it were possible to wait for one-self to enter a room', the British author Rebecca West wrote, 'then there is not many of us who would feel their heart swell in expectation when we heard the door-handle being pushed down.'

This is a dark and provoking image, but perhaps it can be taken as a starting point for our struggle to improve ourselves: to attempt to become such that one feels a thrill of joy when that door is opened."

Software developers at all experience levels. Front end web, back end, big data, iOS/Android. We don't care what languages you know, as long as you're highly skilled in at least one. We use agile and tend to use the same kinds of technologies you'd see in your typical YC startup.

You can apply on our website, and shoot me an email if you have any questions.
That's actually not true, not even a little bit. We've covered this before. When the resolver issues a query, we can disable the DS bit and disable DNSSEC for our customers. Alternatively, we can extend our DNSCrypt client to do validation and rejection of malicious responses.

DNSSEC doesn't add security, nor does it prevent our business from operating to the fullest extent.
Somebody somewhere is getting the interest payments on all that debt.
And a sorry replacement it is.

In his Institutes John Calvin argues that knowledge consists chiefly of two things: knowledge of ourselves and knowledge of God. When we dispensed with God we thought we'd finally found the key to human happiness: freed from the constraints of ancient superstition we'd usher in a golden age of human flourishing. What we got instead was an unimaginable amount of human barbarism, empty, meaningless pleasure seaking (ala Brave New World) on the one hand and an oppresive, omnipotent police state (ala 1984) on the other. Ours is a decadent culture, post- and anti- everything, which no longer stands or believes in anything.

We were supposed to get Star Trek, what we got instead was the Walking Dead.

This is the paradox of happiness:

> Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. - Viktor Frankl

Man was never meant to worship himself, as Augustine says:

> You have made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in You.

And CS Lewis:

> Aim at Heaven and you will get Earth 'thrown in': aim at Earth and you will get neither.
It's obvious this person doesn't share the same values as you. You need to ask yourself, "Why is this person my cofounder?"

If you don't see eye to eye, now in the beginning, you're going to continue to have disagreements in the future.
