Listen to this. Tell the interviewer that he has a some shit on his face, gesturing toward the location on your own face. Observe his reaction very carefully, it tells you everything you need to know about a person. If he is genuinely grateful then that is someone who will be a loyal boss and potentially friend. If he acts defensively or if it puts him off in any way then he's a phony racist liberal and his company will fail.

WOW, this is utterly profound! Like that time someone put an empty McDonalds cup on the floor of a fine art museum and everyone stood around proclaiming its genius.

Oh. That made perfect sense. Can you summarize?

what? HN is a site where anyone can create an account and post comments in seconds. This may suprise you but the but the non-bay area heathens have Internet too.

just musing. this is the internet, remember

I don't see how Digg and Google "fit" in any way other than their San Francisco, compulsively liberal leanings. Digg's user-base is heavily dominated by anti-authority adolescent miscreants and apparent adults suffering from perpetual adolescence (Mr. Rose).

And Google? A company almost exclusively limited to people who fit the academic mold--having advanced degrees from advanced schools, with all the earmarks indicating tolerance for nerdy endeavors but without too much of an inclination toward free thought.

This must be a purely strategic, embrace and smother move. Google must realize the "Digg Army" will be too busy pursuing superficial pleasures to notice their gradual assimilation, not to mention the fine print.

Hey guys, lets all dance on the head of a pen together--ruminating on the blatantly obvious!

Anyway all those extra bytes are mostly inconsequential unless you're sending that code over the wire on a regular basis (as with client-side javascript).

AS2 and 3 aren't much different in how their OO features are implemented. So to suggest that AS2's features are bolted on and AS3's aren't doesn't make much sense logically. Actually you've sort of implied that i am correct if you think about it. And why is it that AS3 conforming to the ECMA4 standard somehow gives it immunity to sucking?

AS3 is a mess in that it tries to be everything to everyone. I would prefer plain old fashioned javascript, like that in my browser right now to the AS3 mess. It's bolted-on Java-esq OO features are clearly just that. Hopefully AS3 dies along with Adobe's inevitably doomed RIA effort.
