"Engineers and scientists know engineering and science but not so much leading people to change their behavior."

Yes, I'd rather think that's by design.

The climatologists and scientists who have spent decades warning people of the dangers, constantly, spending their lives wandering the corners of the earth collecting evidence, getting ignored and ostracized by private industry, by backwards-looking governments at local, state, and federal levels, who have to deal with the public mocking of their life's work with drive-by "snow this winter? how about that global warming" op-ed cartoons; their job is to also perform the legislative and urban-planning-related feats to stop it all?

Do you think that's a reasonable spread of responsibility?

That's terrifying. You should do whatever it is that makes Linux have good fonts.

Can anyone find any actual citation for Apple wanting "the FBI to reveal" anything? There's quotes from an AVG spokesperson in the article, and the paragraph "Attorneys for Apple are researching legal tactics to compel the government..." but no specific sources.

The author, on Twitter, said that "last week" Apple said they wanted to know what the exploit was, but the announcement about a successful exploit was only two days ago.

I absolutely agree. It's incredibly important to volunteer your time and make a difference where you life. Out of sheer curiosity, how much time have you spent doing this?

From the logo I was expecting Japanese brackets:

    「「MyObject alloc」init」

For the vacillating, have the best of both worlds:

    〔〔MyObject alloc〕init〕

Under the 'Eye-free Reading' header, the clipart image contains a speaker saying '...new reader by JetBrains...' I imagine this is a teaser for an eventual product.

"Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them." -- Hacker News Guidelines.

Would you say that mayhaps she was asking for it?

I would love to see how Feedly is, but it's completely broken in Safari. It asks for approval via Google OAuth on every page load, and once it has approval it displays a login page, again.

There seem to be a number of issues surrounding this. Some people point to OAuth being the problem. Some people point to the Safari extension. One way or another, it's broken, and there's absolutely nothing on their Twitter, blog, Uservoice, or Get Satisfaction even indicates they're aware of the cloud of problems surrounding Safari usage.

I'm not sure what rules more about this:

- The G4 cube enclosure

- The painstaking mechanical and electrical engineering know-how

- The creative use of the Raspberry Pi

- The tongue-in-cheek extolling the potential of other 'smart' appliances

Whenever I see things like refrigerators or washing machines with some Android tablet glued to it I think about what a cynical waste of technology it is. The YOSVape cements my belief that true innovation in the smart appliance world is going to come for talented, creative individuals.
