"Rich" countries have tiny birth rates compared to others, you can't ignore that fact by saying "people love making babies everywhere" (I live in Peru btw).

Fossil SCM does not do one thing that does it right, it does many things actually, ticketing, wiki, scm and more I think.

As a matter of fact, the digital economy play a huge role in the 60% abot poverty rate. So it should matter to them.

Have you kept at what KDE's done with WebKit before 2002 and what Google and many others have done with WebKit?
papachito | 16 years ago | on: Turns out Safari Reader is based on Open Source project Readability
> or like one of Apple's arch-competitors is using Apple's open source code to compete with them
WebKit is based on KHTML though from KDE, so not entirely Apple's. Not to mention that chrome uses V8 which is not JScore from Apple but full Google's code.

What are you talking about? Those backgrounds are beautiful especially those by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. As for Chrome's themes, they look fine to me.
papachito | 16 years ago | on: XAuth – a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Idea
Even Googlers agree with Eran, xauth is just a temporary solution, the real solution should go into the browser, maybe with a API that is xauth compatible. Mozilla is already working on those ideas.
edit, from another googler: http://www.google.com/buzz/dclinton/RcW6X3EjKj1/John-Panzers...
> John Panzer's take on the XAuth project is pretty much spot-on. It's not that XAuth is what anyone wants for the ultimate answer in this space. > Rather, XAuth is a short-term way of pushing for any momentum in this direction.
> There are a number of companies leading it, btw:
> MySpace: http://xauthdemo.myspace.com/
> Microsoft: http://xauthdemo.mslivelabs.com/
> Yahoo: http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2010/04/xauth_oauth...
> Etc., etc. (Eran suggested this was Google-led, which didn't quite strike me as accurate, given that Yahoo, Microsoft, MySpace, etc., were all as involved as Google was.)
> For more background on XAuth, I did a round-up of the various announcements and responses during the XAuth launch:: http://www.google.com/buzz/dclinton/CYgLcs24yqP/

> So, SaaS is okay so long as the "risks" are sufficiently small? Who defines that risk, me? So that makes it okay for me to use Google Docs, since I deem the risk of Google doing something evil with my documents to be small?
Yes, if you don't put anything too private in there, it's ok (according to him), he also said in another interview that it's ok to use Facebook as long as you don't put any private stuff there.
> ...thus violating the "essential freedoms" of anyone who uses your thin clients?
Could you explain why it violates "essential freedoms"?

Yes, because Admob doesn't work on Android which will soon have more market share than the iPhone ;)

papachito | 16 years ago | on: Jason Fried: Never Read Another Resume
> Finally, we never let geography get in the way. We hire the best we can no matter where they are. We're based in Chicago, but we have programmers in Idaho and California, system administrators in North Carolina and downstate Illinois, designers in Oklahoma and Colorado, a writer in New York City, and others in Europe. This obviously wouldn't work for customer-facing folks, but for most everyone else, it does. The best are everywhere. It's up to you to find them.
This is so true, I don't understand tech companies from London or Miami or whatever that do not accept telecommuting and require someone from their own city. They're missing out on the best just so they can have face to face? Face to face is not required in programing!

It does do browser sniffing, it works on his ubuntu because he's using firefox with the mplayer plugin that can read h264.
