We're hiring at Social Gold for a number of positions including developers (Ruby, Flash, Test) and more. Some in SF on Embarcadero, some in Seattle in Pioneer Square.

We're mostly looking for experienced developers, and the stereotypical HN "hacker" would fit in really well.

The thing is there are a lot of GPL-like licenses. Linux might have ended up under a BSD-style license rather than a GPL license. While things certainly would have been different, I'm not convinced they would have been worse.

The assertion that there would be no open source movement without RMS is a bit difficult to believe, unless we are going for a very narrow definition of open source.

The most devastating problem to Pascal's wager, in my opinion, is the many claimants problem - the idea being, "Which god?" The one whose favorite number is 1? 2? 3? etc... I think the same problem will ultimately be devastating to any attempt to apply it to global warming. Which solution? We only have finite resources. Do we build a giant solar shade or do we implement a cap-and-trade solution? There are perhaps an infinite number of possible solutions, each a claimant upon our wager.

The question of whether regular (non geek) consumers will just see a ChromeOS portable as a less capable netbook I think is not even a valid question. I don't know of a single 'regular' consumer who owns a Netbook and very few that even know what it might be.

So to a consumer, I think ChromeOS will be seen as something completely new.
You're amused, I'm happy. Looks like good times for all.

I don't think I should feel guilty either, yet I do anyway. I don't want to give the impression that I think the guilt is rational, though. Still, rational or not, the feeling is real, and I'm not the only person by any means to have it.

I often wonder what it's like for people who need to use their minds when they work yet are under inflexible schedules, such as teachers. They too must have good and bad days, but they don't have the luxury to say "you know what, I'm just not going to teach anybody anything today, so after second period is over, I'm leaving." On the other hand, now that I think about it, I vaguely remember some high school teachers ending lessons early. Maybe doing so was their version of calling it quits for the day early.

I'm not sure why you'd assume that. Humans can indeed make big changes to the environment. Typically these are negative, clearing of huge areas of forest, the air/smog in China. But perhaps there are positive examples too. And if not, well, we really wouldn't know unless we try.

Do we even know enough about climate to know what to try and do though? Its not something I've spent a huge amount of time researching.

There are several considerations that a rowing coach must make when deciding the rig of the boat as well as which rowers should occupy each seat.

These considerations may vary for each rower and include:

1. arc length (i.e. the distance traveled by the blade of the oar)

2. force curve (i.e. the amount of force applied during each part of the time the oar is in the water)

3. boat feel (it is a much different sensation rowing in the bow, middle and stern of the boat and different rowers are "better" in different parts of the boat)
Good overall look. But IMHO 4 screenshots at the front-page do not provide enough detail. It took more than a minute to figure out that those 4 thumbnails are meant to be clicked.

I think I also liked the site design that was up ~1mo ago. Plus the product itself is also very nice.
You're making an assumption that Apple's app reviewers do a full fledged deep analysis of an app to come to the flawed conclusion that a "blessed" App is same as a "Safe" App.

For example, how difficult is it for me to create a perfectly nice app/trojan and then embed a time bomb in it, which activates 3-4 months later, after the app is already on the store. At that time the trojan sends me all your personal information. There is no way Apple's drones will be able to find this.

And yes, before you say that maybe the App reviewers change systems clock etc., I'm can be more creative to fool that too. Above is just an example.

So, in other words, "blessed" is NOT equal to "safe" and hence "blessed" has nothing to do with what an app can and cannot do from a security standpoint.

If you take time to read the quotes, you'll see that most of the annotations plastered over the quotes are inaccurate. Far from scandalous, these are precisely the kind of communications I'd expect to see from a group of professionals who are constantly being harassed by wingnuts and cranks.

Your response is a fantastic example of why this debate has become so horribly polarised. Has there ever been reliable evidence that Steve McIntyre or Anthony Watts are being paid by energy companies for the work they do? Both have made valuable contributions to the science surrounding this issue, McIntyre by spotting actual flaws within datasets and Watts by driving the effort to catalogue and categorise the quality of the all-important weather stations. They're not demagogues throwing around baseless accusations who should be ignored.

McIntyre is the main target of the Hadley Centre scientists' ire, which I suspect has more to do with the fact that he's actually competent and knows how to interpret the data they release, something they oddly seem to fear.

Lest we forget, scientists like those at the Hadley Centre have their own incentives, as their funding is directly correlated to the prevailing fear of global warming. Moreover, the debate has become so poisoned that few scientists would be brave enough to go far down a route which might dispute even a small part of the conventional wisdom for fear of being labelled a 'denier' (a term you used elsewhere in this discussion).

But this is not what scientific debate is supposed to be about. This is supposed to be a profession ruled by the Scientific Method and dedicated to the primacy of experiments and data. What your personal incentives are or who pays your salary should be secondary to the results you produce. Science should have no place for flippant ad hominem dismissals, nor for the talk of 'enemies' that pervades this thread and the emails of the Hadley scientists.

We should be thankful for the role played by men like McIntyre, because they act as an important quality check on data which will be used to make massively important political decisions which may have huge impacts on each of our lifestyles and finances. We should have more adversarial data analysts, not fewer.
so what. they stopped following those rules a long time ago. regardless, torvalds would decline since he seems to have integrity.
I've never been convinced by the "it'll ruin our economy" arguments. Why? How could you possibly know this? Are you ignoring the potential jobs green legislation could create in the area of green technology?

Personally, I see plenty of reason to proceed with green initiatives regardless of the global climate change issue. Do I want cleaner air in cities? Yes. Legislation to reduce car emissions has already made a very noticeable impact in my own city in just a decade. Do we really want to have air like they have in China?

The same can be true of power generation. We need more power, and nuclear waste is dangerous * independently* of climate change. Coal and gas have negative impact on our air quality. Thus we are left again with green technologies for now.

I don't know if all the proposed changes intended to help climate change have other benefits like the ones I described. That would be an interesting question to have answered.
I think there is a popular ideology (perhaps of protestant roots) that makes it "noble" to work long hours, hence why such stories are appealing to readers (and writers). It's a kind of narrative fallacy which people use to explain success without getting into too much detail: "he worked long hours he succeeded, this makes sense to me logically and ethically as those who work visibly hard are truly worthy".

If you want to create a great company it's best to seek proper work/life balance that delivers best outcome over the entire period of the few years, rather than optimize an appealing narrative.

The worst thing you can do it get trapped in the narrative yourself.

Seriously? There's even concern over whether startups "work as hard" Silicon Valley ones?

If that's where they're at, then there is almost no hope? The concept "working hard" is just ingrained in entrepreneurship. If you don't work hard, work smart, then you aren't really an entrepreneur; you're something else.

All of them.

Neither. Just the ones that are political.
Looking good. It is nice and clean. However I would really like to see something to describe the four screenshots. Maybe underneath them a little black box that spans across the width of the 4 images that has a little arrow overlapping right on the bottom of each screenshot describing what it does.
I agree that the title is bad, but it is empirically effective.

I earlier submitted a parallel article with pretty much the title that you suggested, and it went nowhere:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=952082

Leaked FOIA files 62 mb of gold

Even before me, 'ellyagg' submitted an even closer parallel with a non-sensational title. It also has not garnered any discussion:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=951915

Climate News: Hadley CRU hacked with release of hundreds of docs and emails

So while I personally will continue to submit with the title of the original article rather than bait, one could argue that having a discussion is better than not having a discussion.

Did I read this correctly? They overrode a private API call, but then never called the method that they overrode? Or did they only call the method they overrode, and never call the private method.

I don't see why you would override a method but never call it, and if you override it, shouldn't you call [super methodX] (thereby calling the private method)?
If we apply cap and trade regulations to imports as well, there's no escape--all goods consumed in the US would have to be accounted for against the US carbon budget. You're right that it's pointless to tie cap and trade purely against production.

The rest of your argument rests on a lot of mistaken labor-leftist political ideology, but I'm not interested in arguing it right now.
