I think the most glaring omission stopping many people considering Inkscape a serious contender is colour support. Inkscape lacking CMYK support (& while we're at it, spot colour support) pretty much excludes it from a lot of print work. And this is coming from an Inkscape lover.

PHP/Back end or Front-End Developer INTERN - Washington DC

The agency I work for, Engage (http://enga.ge), is looking for fall developer interns. We do everything from WordPress sites to our own products to custom web and mobile apps, and most of our work relates to politics/issue advocacy. We're particularly passionate about Internet freedom issues. Right now we're gearing up to launch a new product so it's a pretty exciting time. Check out our portfolio here: http://enga.ge/work/.

Anyway, we are looking for a college student with back or front-end talent (PHP/MySQL or Javascript/HTML/CSS). Must be in the DC area or willing to relocate; foreigners welcome as long as you can secure a visa on your own (usually J-1 or F-1).
Also, note that we treat our interns well and hire them. In fact, one of our current developers used to intern here, as did I. And, management doesn't really care if you have side projects, which is always nice.

To apply, please send me an email directly to michele@engagedc.com with the subject "Developer intern from Hacker News" (I'm the technical project manager). Include your resume, GitHub/portfolio link and a brief description of why you want to work with us. Hope to hear from you!

That list is entirely misleading, of your non-asterixed list:

- Allied Signal purchased Honeywell (but adopted their name) and is currently a $72B company.

- Alcoa is still a $20B company.

- American Can became Primerica, which was the foundation of Citigroup which is a $150B company.

- Bethlehem Steel was mostly shuttered but is still operating under foreign ownership.

- Dupont is still a $60B company.

- Kodak we all know, but still a $1B company.

- GM had its issues but still employs over 200,000 people directly and is a $55B company.

- Goodyear is still a $7B company.

- Vale Inco is still a $75B company.

- International Harvester was merged into Navistar which is still a $4B company.

- International Paper still employs over 60,000 people and is a $21B company.

- OI is still a $5B company.

- Phillip Morris rebranded / merged to form Altria group which is an $80B company.

- We all know Sears' issues, but they're still a $4B company.

- Texaco's production operations were merged into Chevron ($250B company) and their retail operations were merged into Shell ($150B company).

- Dow Chemical bought Union Carbide for almost $10B and the combined company is today worth $60B.

- United Technologies is still a $100B company.

- US Steel is still a $5B company.

- Westinghouse bought CBS and rebranded to CBS Corp. ($35B company) and sold off its power business overseas and the rest of its electrics business to Toshiba.

- Woolworth rebranded to Foot Locker and is still worth $7B.

So maybe two on the list no longer exist, but the vast majority are still massive companies collectively employing millions of people with hundreds of billions (trillions?) in revenue. Their inclusion on or exclusion from the DJIA doesn't mean much about their competitiveness or their success.
OnePlus - http://oneplus.net - Shenzhen, China, Relocation required and working visa provided.

At OnePlus we're trying to redefine the smartphone market with a disruptive business and marketing model. We're probably crazy taking on the industry giants but crazy is what's needed to pull something like this off - and so far it's working.

Our team of 30 people are responsible for all sales outside China. We handle everything from our e-commerce to marketing and support and often one person can be in several roles should he or she prefer - for instance help execute a marketing idea or organize a fan gathering.

We are based in Shenzhen, China, an hour north of Hong Kong. Our team is international - consisting of more than 10 different nationalities - so all work takes place in English. If you happen to know Mandarin that's a plus but most of our team members don't.

Ultimately we are well on our way to realizing our dream with mainstream media starting to take notice: http://time.com/3006267/oneplus-one-review-phone-of-dreams/

To help us get all the way we are looking to hire for multiple different roles.

PHP programmer: Chiefly Laravel and Magento programming with some XenForo inbetween. We currently build and manage our e-commerce platform, community forum and centralized account system with future plans being far more ambitious.

http://oneplus.net/careers/php-programmer

Front-end developer: Help us perfect our user experience with modern HTML and CSS, perform multi-variant testing and perform user studies. Your job is to make our platform as intuitive and frictionless as possible.

http://oneplus.net/careers/front-end-programmer

Customer support manager: Help us tackle problems in customer support and scale our customer support operations. The key to any well respected company is to treat your customers well. Your as a customer support manager is to figure out how we can meet customer support demand as efficiently as possible.

http://oneplus.net/careers/customer-support-manager

Your dream job: We want to hire smart and experienced people. If we don't have a job position that fits you perfectly but you believe we should, then apply and tell us why we're missing your contribution. If we agree we'll create a position for you to fix that mistake.

http://oneplus.net/careers/your-dream-job

We're looking for many more people for many different roles, please have a look at our full careers page and get in touch if you're what we're looking for - and we're what you're looking for.

Unless I'm misreading the article, I don't think it says that Thor: The Dark World was a prequel to The Avengers. Rather, it says that the Thor movies were planned as part of the "Avengers initiative." The confusion arises from the phrase "set the stage for The Avengers." I think what the writer means is that all of these movies, including their sequels, were set into development as part of a single initiative, meant to culminate in the Avengers franchise.

Yes, the events of the second Thor movie take place after the events of The Avengers. But that may have been planned well in advance.

Command line tools developer, npm, Oakland, CA: http://www.npmjs.com/jobs/ (REMOTE)

npm is the most popular package manager for JavaScript and we're growing fast. We need to make our eponymous command-line client more flexible, more reliable, and capable of supporting the ever-growing set of use-cases people are finding for it.

You will be working full-time on the client itself, entirely on open-source components and tooling, and your work will be used by millions of JavaScript developers every day.

We are not a typical early stage startup. We believe that working sensible hours and taking care of ourselves and our loved ones is the best way to ensure long-term productivity. We care deeply about making tech a more inclusive and diverse place.

We are accepting remote applicants for this position, but we are not currently able to sponsor work visas.
You also need a taxi or limmo license. Not sure how much that costs but it must not be cheap.
Not exactly, some compounds absorb and reflect different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. In paticular, titanium dioxide:

"Some compounds, like titanium oxide, only appear in the spectra of very cool stars." [1]

Obviously this wasn't a star, so it must be a manmade object.

> Hm, when a guy writes his own kernel he is smart. I mean, as far as implementing goes, as smart as it gets. The amazing thing is that he was pretty young when he did it (1991-2)

I'm a fairly anti-social person. I don't know many people. Yet at the time Linux came out, I personally knew a dozen people who could easily have written it when they were young.

So why didn't they?

Several of them had satisfied their urge to hack on operating systems by getting jobs hacking and porting Unix (and a couple of them "ported" Unix by essentially writing a new implementation).

The others who could have done it had no need for it. They all had easy access to Unix workstations and Unix VAXes, and were busy dealing with their urges to hack on other things like graphics or AI or networks or scientific computing.

The amazing thing about Linus is not his considerable technical ability--plenty of people have that--but rather his management ability. As I said earlier, I know at least a dozen people who could have written a kernel...but I don't think any of us could have taken it from a one man kernel to a worldwide project with hundreds of contributors.

In a hundred years, Linus Torvalds will have a footnote in technical textbooks, and a whole chapter in business textbooks.

Seems worth commenting on though :)

It isn't a joke. It's what i use personally as a designer and I thought I'd open source it. If you don't like the colors, they are pretty easy to change.
Ah, thank you. That's what I assumed the policy was, but I wasn't sure if it was implicit or explicit. Now I know.

I guess the point I'm attempting to argue is that this particular policy is suboptimal and should be changed. Of course, when a policy or consensus exists, we should follow it. When it's a bad policy, we should follow it until we change it or remove it. I think we should change this.

My position basically boils down to a worse-is-better argument. I think the desire to maximize accuracy with original titles actually harms the conversation more than inaccuracies and editorializing in information-packed summaries.

What matters to me in this case is the signal-to-noise ratio, not the absolute level of noise in the data. Original titles can be "cleaner" and less noisy, but they also have relatively little information, or signal. I would rather have twice the noise if it gives me three times the signal.

I even see the noise as useful in a way. It adds color. Even when a title is inaccurate, it's sometimes interesting to think about how or why it is inaccurate. A little mess never killed anybody, and can even keep us healthy. Ultimately, if I'm so busy I don't have enough time to be occasionally mislead by a click-bait title, then I don't really have time to spend on HN in the first place.

I think the right way to deal with inaccurate titles is either to simply ignore them, or maybe to downvote them and to upvote duplicate posts with better titles. But won't HN then turn into reddit? I don't think so.

See, I think we try to fix too many things with laws where we should instead use social pressure. The reason that Americans don't litter very much isn't that it's now a ticketable offense. It's that we have decided that litterers are idiots and everybody hates them. The reason many subreddits are cesspools isn't the lack of rules, it's that they're populated by people who haven't collectively figured out a better way to behave -- or who don't particularly value the benefits of that different behavior. Adding a new rule won't fix anything if people don't understand and accept the purpose behind the rule. And if they understand the purpose, they usually don't need the rule.

Someone could argue that HN is something of a cesspool because so many comment threads go off topic. Like this one. Some people despise that. In general, though, HN users generally seem to appreciate an off-topic conversation so long as it's adding value. What we don't approve of is comments that don't add value. But, we don't need rules for that. It's just our commonly accepted behavior. Other groups have different values, and that's ok.

If they were distributing the binaries without any indication that they were GPL'ed (i.e. no written offers), then yes, it would have been a violation. But it's not a violation any longer. They seem to be under compliance.
It's already a kind of well known concept in SciFi to bounce the photon back and forth a lot, getting a little hit of momentum each time (and draining its energy, thus changing its wavelength). Keeping the reflecting pair on the rocket and trying to use asymmetry to pull more off on one side than the other seems a pretty straightforward thing to try.
Why so much hate? This looks nice. I'd put the old palette below the new palette. Seeing the old palette first, I immediately thought "those don't look new or very pretty".

The Secret Ingredient to the Best Startup Fundraising Pitches
In August, no less - a month during which people frequently travel and use their vacation time.

I'd be pretty frustrated (to put it mildly) if I took my 2 weeks in August, and suddenly found out right before going that we'd have to migrate our entire backend to a different provider by the end of the month, leaving me with three options:

(1) Spend my vacation working

(2) Not go on vacation

(3) Postpone the migration until I get back, have it hanging over my head the whole time, and hope that I can scramble to get it all together before August 31
Who knows, voting is a pretty weird concept on a job thread. I suspect most serious job seekers either read the whole page or Ctrl+F for keywords.
