I find this to be a very important extension....I would be surprised if Adblock didn't have this built in though.

Those are the top ten salaries. Getting a job at Google probably isn't for one of those jobs. It would have been nice to see data on salaries that entry level engineers get etc.

It looks like they liked the new Facebook timeline and put it on Twitter

Thank you, that is indeed very helpful. Do you think you could temporarily auto-fill that text into the search bar at the bottom of the page for the week leading up to demo_day? I think a lot of users would find that to be both non-intrusive and interesting/helpful.

Can anyone post a list of books they think are must reads?

Pg, can you try adding a tab up top for new startups? I personally love to read about them but sometimes the launches etc. This would make it a lot easier to find the latest ones.

Well, I have a couple of thoughts:

While the FB chat layout has its many benefits such as non-techy users will be (most likely) used to it, the small chat area really isn't enough for big sites such as HN or Reddit where there can be many many users online at once.

It would be nice if it could plug into fb chat, google+, AIM/AOL, etc. however, I'm not quite sure how viable of an option that is.

It also seems that anyone can make a chat (I could be wrong), but that seems like a silly add-on for a site with as many users as HN because it will only take one troll to bother everyone.

P.S.

Awesome Job

How much money did Apple lose?

You need to allow people to resign. Instead of just letting them leave.

All of us with sleep apnea do.

Hmmmm

You have a new account, and I think you are either trying to stir up some trouble or trying to hide who you really are. If this were a reasonable thing to bring up (in the manner you chose), then you wouldn't have to hide who you are.

However, you used the second person and directly addressed the reader twice (vs addressing the community) and it appears that you are trying to get people to "hop on the wagon" and protest the lack of fees after 'deciding' upon a fair approach.

If my post comes across as accosting, it is because you could have easily have said:

.

"Hacker News, is it fair that Hacker Monthly doesn't compensate its writers like other magazines? Should it?"

That's a valid point; nevertheless, I have plenty of (some very close) friends that do not have Facebook- or recently acquired it so that they may see photos of themselves, so I can easily speak about their lives, but I do not know if that counts (does it?) because they grew up around people who have facebooks.

But in the end, you are right, I'm not quite subjective because of the way I grew up.

I am probably cheating, but:

(I'm 18 now) 1. Finish Senior Year 2. (College) Dual Major in CompSi and EE 5/2. Grad school if I have patience 3. Experience working for companies like Google, Nvidia, Intel, ect. 4. Start a (successful) startup

Annnnnd that's where I want to be in several years- well that's quite a bit more than five year, but it's where I want to be.

I know that some of those goals are clearly accomplish-able, and I'll be happy to answer any questions on if I think the others are likely. As for me- I've been programming for several years, and I've known what I want to do for quite a while.

As a primarily younger person (18), it hasn't changed anything. It hasn't made me "hang out" with anyone I don't hang out with regularly ect.

I mean, I recently left my home town to go to a new school and when I wanted to say good bye to my friends who I don't normally talk to- I wrote on their walls, but I also called them-

I'm only 18 with nothing to bring to the table besides my charming smile. Am I still eligible?

I referred a client, and his project, to one of the best coders I've personally met.

His social skills are fine, but his patients are not. That's what I learned.

The proof is not in the code. The proof lies in the question:

"How happy is the client (post-project)?"

imho, you have a very misleading point where the government is just not providing access akin to drugs; however, books contain knowledge, and drugs do not. The government in the Brave New World isn't just "not providing a service," it's actively attempting to make a dumb citizen through not only the means of censorship, but injecting fetuses with alcohol to lower the intelligence of the individual. Our government has a ban on drugs to protect us citizens(theoretically), whereas the Brave New World has a ban on books to protect itself.

I'd also like to note:

Most personal offenders in our government get treatment instead of punishment (drugs). Most personal offenders in the Brave New World get banished (reading).

A cute cartoon, but seeing as I just ([imo]unfortunately) read "Brave New World" in a very in depth literature class (apologize for the fallacy call to authority) , I don't find the Cartoon to be accurate at all.

For example, books were banned in "Brave New World" -remember all that Shakespeare drama? Huxley was saying people are going to be controlled by the government because in the Brave New World, the government breeds humans for different purposes, and all those humans know are pleasures which are completely dependent on the government, like daily rations of soma, a drug which prevents aging and sadness.

It would be wonderful. But my point on not calling myself a hacker is not because I don't "hack supply and demand," but I don't "hack" stuff in general. Hack can be used correctly in two totally different contexts (not mistaken with crack), and that is the good helpful kind of hack.

I can easily agree that people shouldn't be talking on the phone while driving or watching a dvd while in traffic, but only because it is dangerous and reckless, but I could care less that it is dangerous and reckless to the driver; I care because I am a driver and those kind of people are endangering others on the road like ME. I personally love both technologies and only dislike the people that use them. I don't find this to be a technological problem, but a people problem; certainly not a “technology controlling society” problem neither.

“Twittering, tweeting — whatever it is, it sounds like a nervous disorder.” The clear fallacy, which is meant to distract, takes away from what is really going on. I hang out with people I like, and I like them because of who they are. Having a cell phone on the table and texting/tweeting does not change who they are as people, and if it has, I guess I like that changed person more.

This 'busy' life the author is complaining about where the tv set is cluttered by unrelated information and multitasking is now known as a wonderful skill.....is the life I wish to live, and I find it awesome. I enjoy commercials and laugh at the obvious marketing techniques ect. It even has become something to do with friends when we have a television show we both enjoy. “We need to slow down and take a deep breath.” No, we don't! You do! Time to adapt, for you can't make others adapt.

“spend a little time just being ourselves.” imho, I already made it clear I judge people on who they are, not if they have the newest cell phone or not. I like people who are themselves? Those people who 'are not' themselves will find themselves eventually. I don't even know if people who are not themselves exist-

imho, this piece was negligent/shallow rant on technology. I can't agree with it on a whole and when I do agree- I agree for different reasons.

I call myself a coder because I write code.

I don't hack, crack, or (verb)script-kiddie, so I won't refer to myself as a hacker, cracker, or script-kiddie.

Meh, no one here wants to here my spoiled brat opinion, so I apologize in advance:

It should also be included in the bare minimum:

Regex will drive you crazy. Not just writing the expression, but installing a library (especially if there is no handy installer) ect. Regex likes to punch you in the balls whenever possible. (I can say this because I've written many line of Regex and I do love it.)

Reason not to envy the French as the head of a startup:

You can't (afford to) fire anyone

> What I really want is the industrial design and hardware of Apple running the Android OS with the user experience and UI design of Palm WebOS.

Well, let's not be too kind to Apple. The new phone is already behind the greatest and latest. Apple just has a brand name.

HOWEVER! Lucky for you the lead OS designer for Palm WebOS just switched to Android. Expect greatness from the next OS update (assuming you already have 2.2).

It sounds like anaphora, and correctly used anaphora at that =]

One of the scientists from this adventure spoke at my school.

Apparently, one rocket fell, and the plutonium came crashing back down and landed a few feet from the island in the water.

water = absorb radiation

Or something like that.

7-Zip utility (for compressing and decompressing different file types) doesn't?

That's what I was thinking too, so I don't think the "start-up will die" rule applies to him if he had joined Google. I personally would love to be recruited by Google when the time comes because even though I'll be Employee number 300,001 - I'll learn a LOT and be able to help the next startup/company I am with.
