Maybe we are not in tech bubble but there a lot of crappy companies raising a lot of capital.

The main problem with Google Docs is that it is just too complicated - or better to say, has some rules which are quite unique.

For example, normal people get very confused that you can have multiple files with same name. Also the concept of collections is something quite broken since they represented as "folders": yes great on a paper but people assume if a document A in collection X is different document than the same document in collection Y.

I wonder how the above things will map to local filesystem without confusion.

Discovery and personalization are not compatible with each other. So if you use Google search as a discovery tool, then personalization hurts.

There is no alternative. Maybe DDG but results are not so good.

It is very dangerous to be ignorant about critical computer science fields like cryptography and just go with the cult.

I'm not saying you should build your own cryptography, but a good hacker (or a good engineer how we call them in early 90s) should understand difference between bcrypt, PBKDF2, and scrypt. At least to understand why bcrypt is better than salt+SHA-1. And some other aspects of security.

However, if somebody has no clue about cryptography and security then she/he should go with bcrypt - but I'm not sure if that person should be responsible or in business of storing somebody's critical data at all.

And they both live in San Francisco - which shows that it is all about $$ and not about their political views or principles.

So this is one of the problems I can see with politics today: politicians have no views or principles you can count on. Everything is depended on how much money they get (of course they all stick and talk about wedge issues such as guns, gays, and god which are really stupid).

That is one of main reason people like Ron Paul: you know what you get.

Here is one possible theory:

* majority of technology in US is outsourced to China / India

* China is a good friend of Iran and India has a very close relationship

* some info about technology might be passed to Iran

And joke is: when they open the drone, they will see "made in China" sign somewhere.

Unrelated question - but I would to hear what others think.

I noticed that two sites we have developed in the past (chat/dating site and food review site) had much better acceptance in Mexico, Brazil, Netherlands, etc. than in US.

First we thought this is just a western anglo-saxon thing, but we also have much higher acceptance in UK.

It seems like that users in US are not early adopters. Did anybody noticed the same trend?

Does anybody know why they were doing this experiment (measuring speed fo neutrinos) at all? Were they assuming that neutrinos travel faster than speed of light in the first place?

I'm not an expert how to write job posing (and Dave Thomas is an excellent writer), but this is more like "what a developer job posting should NOT look like" then "should look like"

Two important things and one less important:

* job description is more for system admin and not for a developer - your audience will be confused

* if you do not offer either health care or a pension plan, this is then essentially a contracting gig. You probably need to provide exact salary in this case. Probably you need go to hourly rate. In practice, there are only two type of jobs for developers in US: job fully loaded with all benefits and contracting gig. There is very little between.

* less important: too wordy and just too long without exact facts (you know engineers do not like

I'm not sure this is a smart advice. Of course, frugality is good thing. But it does not help you to become rich.

There is a saying which says: Don't waste your time thinking about how to spend money, think about how to make money.

This will be the shortest thread in HN history...

On serious note, I'm really not aware of a single one. I heard some

The questions like this are the reason why your first job should be working on large scale very-well maintained projects and not some small startup.

By working on these kind of project you will understand that there is a clear need to have good nomenclature and naming standard for a project and modules which, in many cases, reassemble Hungarian notation (describing method's or variable's purpose, portability, performance implication, etc.).
