Even better: the key word is "give"

All google has to do is 'give' x ad views before some videos on youtube, for each candidate. If someone tries to get Google to do otherwise, they're limiting GOOGLE'S freedom of speech.

It doesn't seem retina optimized. The font is horrendous on my iPhone 4.

jcitme | 14 years ago | on: Vim ported to iOS

There is, though. I don't understand... personally I've been using a combo of iSSH into my own iphone. ~/ is located at /private/var/mobile and there's no latency (you ARE connecting to localhost). Git and vim installed means that basically, you can be self sufficient from your iPad/iPhone, without even needing an additional workstation to SSH into. Hell, even Python and Ruby can be installed on the jailbroken iphone. It's basically a portable POSIX-compatible system, after you install all the necessary packages (network-cmds for ping, for example) you're all set.

>Show only messages without any tag?

Can you search "-tag1 -tag2 ..." ? I only have 10 tags, so if I really needed to do this, it's fairly acceptable. Not sure if you have a gazillion or something.

This brings up several questions. How much tech industry lobbying dollars are there, and how does it stack compared to the Entertainment industry? More importantly, how much non-monetary sway do they have on Washington?

Youtube and Google+ are owned by google, so I'm not sure if they count. Definitely they should post a notice or two, but...

Which IRC channel would that happen to be? I would love to see the logs of the last few days.

This is a problem inherent in any form of social media. Unfortunately, it's not easily fixed. You need to find a way to strike a balance between rewarding content creation and punishing spam, and the line in thin.

HN, you dropped the ball here. Even Reddit would spot a comment like "Nailed it" and see that it doesn't contribute in any way.

This community should try to stop a decline in quality...
