It most certainly can. This was already a contentious issue in Germany, maybe with a slight majority in the government in favor of it or at least people who support it in the right places to implement it, but it was far from an uncontroversial issue, even inside the government (i.e. the coalition parties). Germany was already the last country not to have data retention. (Of course also because the constitutional court ruled against it, but political pressure against it was responsible, too.)

The government could ram it through when there were no court objections quite yet but with them the dissenting voices inside government certainly get amplified. Also, while violating the constitution has been quite a sport for the government in Germany in recent years, court decisions that ruled laws unconstitutional have been respected.

I’m quite optimistic, but there obviously remains a danger of this being implemented some years down the line.

I have no idea what this means on the European level and for other individual countries, though.

The IE6 compatibility issue should be mostly a thing of the past now, except for some corporate settings and china. But I feel IE8 will stay with us for a long time with a few annoying percentage points that can't always be ignored - and by now it's almost as bad as IE6 was 8 years ago. The only thing that makes the situation better than before is the much higher adoption of FF and Chrome, which at least keeps IE8 users at single digit rates for consumer websites.
It could be more discrete, eg. an apostrophe every 10 blocks.

Ask HN: Do you prefer to work for socially conscientious employers?
I've had an idea for a while that (for those at the top of their field, and have their pick of the litter so to speak as to who their employer will be) generally speaking salary only does so much for you when looking at the package a potential employer offers. Would it be a safe assumption that, generally speaking, those at the top of their field not only want to get paid what they're worth (or more), but want the whole package, whether that is a guarantee to work on projects that interest them, or carte blanche in terms of your ability to choose how you spend your time.

Would such folks ever consider taking lower pay to work for what you'd consider to be a "socially conscientious" employer?

The reason for this question is I've wanted to begin compiling data that would make it easier for those at the top of their field to make the more "socially conscientious" decision about who writes their paycheck. And even in the rare case persuade those at the top of their field to pursue employment with the more "socially conscientious" company. The analysis (as to who is more worth) of course comes in many forms and would be interpreted in many different ways, so I envision more of a repository where a person would go to get the raw data in an organized / accessible fashion, instead of that data being hidden behind a "5-star rating" for example.

The hypothesis I'm considering here is that empowering people to make the right decisions about who employs them has the potential to (over time) help to ensure that those companies who have the best track records as being socially conscientious could end up being market leaders and not just an after thought within the markets that they serve.

Contact the school's financial aid department and explain the situation. They may not be able to help you much this year but they may be able to help you figure out how to re-apply next year. Unfortunately, financial aid calculations are a mysterious black box and your inputs do not fit into it well.

If you REALLY don't want to go to Florida, then there is always the option of community college for a year or two and then transferring. And again you may qualify for more need based aid that way in a year or two.

Also remember that you may change what you want to do several times over the course of your college career. And then several times in your adult life afterwards. At 150k in loans you may very be better off financially working as a janitor at one of these schools than being a student.

Would you consider a "beginner in islamic studies" to be the least bit scientific ? The whole study field is, by definition, prejudiced.

> That being said, it is impossible to have a letter-by-letter re-write from Arabic to Aramaic by definition. It's illogical and impossible.

Of course it's not. And the argument you're bringing up is laughably weak. Greek does not have the same letters as our latin script, yet transliterating is perfectly possible, it's how half our students do it half the time. Hell, ever read, shall we say "teenage" arabic/sms arabic as I've seen it referred to ?

Here's essentially why I believe Luxenberg. I've shown the early quran pages to Semitic scholars (not Jews in case you're wondering) at my university, and while they can't read them smoothly, they can read them. With appropriate books, so can I (very slowly, sure). They also said that Luxenberg is right. I've also taken the same early quran page copies to an islamic scholar, freshly imported into the university, and it was blatantly obvious that he doesn't even recognize them, or the writing, despite having over 20 years of study at Al Azhar. I had to actually TELL him what it was, yet it was the thing they've supposedly been studying for 20 years. Researching the matter, it turns out to be actually true : in islamic studies you will never get to see an early islamic manuscript ...

You can imagine who I believe.

> The Aramaic (Syriac actually) word you are looking for is "Kriyana" ('reading the scriptures' or 'lesson'). The three-letter root of Qur'aan is (Qa-Ra-'a) -- to read/recite

You must realize that vowels are not written in either language, and it is not actually known what vowels were used in the period, or where they went or didn't go. Sorry to poing out the obvious but K R N ("Kriyana" in your text) would be considered identical to K R N ("quran"). Hell they did that in greek and latin for the longest time as well.

Hey wow ! I just transliterated 4 languages and 3 different alphabets there, you say it's impossible, yet it was not particularly hard. Wait we even have a global standard for doing that ...

> The Quraan's Arabic is not obtuse like that at all

1. VC making money, Company making money and Founders making money are three different things. Don't get confused between them. Most often, the founder get the leftover, with big exit, it can be huge amount but not for everyone.

2. VCs are there to make money. That's it. That is there ONLY goal. Anyone VC firm who is saying that they are behind entrepreneurs, they are NOT. They are only after money and the entrepreneur is between them and money. So if your goal is same as their's, start chasing money.

3. You will lose your freedom for ever once you raise VC money and along with it, your choices.

1. Eich is prejudiced against gays (how did he arrive at this conclusion?).

2. From history (e.g., experience), we can soundly argue this type of prejudice is wrong and incompatible with modern society. The differences between anti-miscegenation statutes and Prop 8 are superficial at most. Likewise, Prop 8 was struck down.

3. Since only one side is prejudiced, the bigotry only goes one way.

Unless you own the company, the work you do outside of work should contribute to YOUR growth, not the company's. Are you going to be learning something new and interesting?

Well, in my country if you work without a contract and the companies fires you without cause, you can sue them in Labor court and the judges will do a test to see if you were de-facto employed: whether you had fixed working hours, a manager that told you specific tasks and evaluated you on them, were paid a fixed salary or a per-task or per-hour rate, and a few others.

In Uber's case, and AFAIK, the drivers don't have any of that. They just have to take a course, and then they can just take any job they want, when they want, without fixed hours or even fixed days per week.

The concept is flawed for this one. As you need to combine two different things in one. Also on their demo video you can see that it's quite unstable.

And I really expected someone released VTOL airship, which is basically combining helicopter and plane, you are getting the possibility to land in your yard, but also speeds of plane while flying.

I didn't think vending machines used the client network, but used the mobile phone network, thus only requiring electricity to install.

I sounds like you agree that what is right exists outside of legal definitions, which was my point. The point being that moral authority does not derive from the legal code. To the extent that governments can be blamed for failing to protect the rights to life, liberty, property, conscience, etc., they can be found to be immoral or unjust. And at a certain point, the laws of the government (or even the government itself) loses legitimacy.
