If you've ever been there — which, if you have the chance, you should, it's great — then you would.

(So my answer is yes.)

Quoting cing:

    How about option 3: "Items" and "Photos"? Unless of course you have to differentiate between "Mine" and "Everyone Elses"

I think this is on the wrong thread.

But who would get the coin?

Long-term, I want my design work to influence the direction of large groups and societies, and to do that I need to learn how to work with and persuade people who aren’t inclined or required to listen to professional designers.

I think that this is the most important bit.

Also, being a native app (Cocoa app) integrates it with OS X, which is really useful.

This might be a stupid question, but that's exactly like the OSX/OS9 switch, right?

Disagree: A lot of people are on the fence simply because they have no idea how WL works or why it's important. Explaining the issue to these 'under-informed' people (normals) could have a good amount to do with swaying public opinion.

Maybe there should be an option: "I will defend Wikileaks in my words and actions, but not step over any bounds in doing so" or is that the same as "I'm too chicken"?

I disagree with most of his ideas, but I love the beginning idea: starting a new city from the ground up.

EDIT: If we're going to make new and arbitrary rules for this place, wouldn't it be cool if there was a cap on business that only allowed for them to employ 30 people or less? Small businesses that are highly specialized working together instead of large corporations who have huge amounts of divided workforces.

I'm just hoping you are not one of those people that believes that I should follow everyone (on Twitter) that follows me. If what I say interests you, follow me. I'll do the same.

I agree with araneae, this would seem to be an awfully rare thing to do.

Maybe contact WPEngine (http://wpengine.com/) and see if you can sell there too?

I'm going to disagree with the people on this thread and vote for Plantir.

It is cool to say that Facebook is doing 'world-changing' and 'revolutionary' things -- while I believe such is true on some levels and that we can't ignore what it is -- but a company like Plantir has a much better opportunity to do things that are simply mind-boggling.

Finance and the Government are not popular things, especially amongst the hacker crowds, but the US Government is capable of doing incredible things. The power wielded by the State is huge, and directly affects hundreds of millions of people a day. Facebook may have become a staple in some peoples lives but they [as a company] are not responsible for keeping citizens safe, regulating commerce, building infrastructure, waging war or brokering peace.

Facebook is a company that finds better ways to serve up advertising. That's not all they do, but that's how they make money.

Plantir is in a unique position to change an increasingly inefficient/ineffective system. US politics suck right now. We can all agree on that. But a company like Plantir operates on a different level than the fork-tongued politicians.

You say: network with people in the startup industry and create my own startup which tells me (and I might be wrong, please correct if so) that you enjoy the idea of disrupting the status quo. What better place to do this than Big Government and Big Business/Finance? This might seem backwards but as these institutions crumble at their seams there is no better place to be.

How does Embedly make money?

I agree with you, but only in theory. I can't think of one thing that runs 100% non-stop.

Even in places like medicine or finance or security. Stuff breaks, things fail. It's sad, but the reality is there.

I am the same way. I often find the HN discussion more useful than the article in itself. I think there are many people that feel the similarly.

Was this not the basic plot of the latest Bond flick?

Last I heard, they're slated for a release right about the time 10.7 is coming out. I got a twitters saying something along the lines of "we're moving slowly, but moving and doing it right."

That's a good point that I hadn't realized. If this were to pass, they can get you on using encryption without actually charging you with any other crime. That's scary.

I live in a small midwestern town that has recently taken to the idea of roundabouts. At first, I was extremely pleased (having good experiences with them in Paris/French HW systems) but I quickly became discouraged when I realized that 90% of drivers had no idea what they were doing.

I now avoid certain routes through town because I'm afraid of getting in an accident.

Maybe something like: ...I never have to think about... or ...never makes me...

I think the number of rules reflects the ultimate simplicity of it. Rather than referencing 9 things to see if it's legal, simply go down it as you would a checklist.

I also have this problem, but I'm too tall for that. I'd end up with 6-8 inches of ankle showing if I did that.
