Given that it's Google, I wonder if it will support the languages favored by bootstrappers and small startups—Obj C, Ruby, JavaScript and more recently Swift and Elixir. I get the distinct impression that they're heavily optimizin

This is sadder still. You're saying you feel pacifism and anti-war sentiments are no longer a part of the left? Huxley was critiquing Hitler and especially Stalin. Is that your idea of "the left"?

Okay, kazga. Both violate international IP treaties and both are absolutely normal behavior to many millions of people. Not amoral psychopaths for the most part, just normal people.

By stealing do you mean copying? What is the actual harm caused by social media marketing norms on VK? Do you feel like Indians making generic copies of western cancer drugs is also wrong? Most importantly, what kind of paragon of morality

What is a "more social player" in this context? Somebody who does lots of networking and is good at hiring or is it related to social media like VK, FB, etc?

I saw this same advice on Marc Andresen's blog a long time ago: http://pmarchive.com/guide_to_career_planning_part2.html One third strategy I've seen but unfortunately don't quite have the temperament for is:

Your comment is sarcastic, uncharitable and unproductive. Obviously the narrow specifics around this case are not the sole cause of prison overcrowding. It's been driven by a massive expansion of criminal codes and decades of ratchetin
