Here is a link to all the equivalent international times: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Airbrb+Tech+Talk%3A+Brad+Fitzpatrick+&iso=20120926T18&p1=224&ah=2 http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Air... I feel event organizers should take care to provide international times for stuff people outside America can see.

  Wolfram Alpha is great for this: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=september%2026%207pm%20pt http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=september%2026%207pm%20.... There are a lot of services that pop up once in a while, but they tend to go bust at some point, and being able to just type a WA query in your address bar is great.

I have such a programmer crush on Brad. Somehow, despite living in Seattle all summer, I've yet to be able to attend any Go/golang talks or meetups. Sad.

  There are quite a few Go tech talks on YouTube that might fill the gap.

    Yeah, I've seen them. They're very good, but for some reason I'd like to be there in person. There are several HTML5 Go presentations that are either: very demonstrative with real world examples being written and discussed, or very succinct: Andrew Gerrand/nf/enneff has a set of slides on 10 not-as-well-known features, or rather patterns one can use in Go

      Here are the slides from Andrew's great "10 things you (probably) don't know about Go" talk: http://talks.golang.org/2012/10things.slide http://talks.golang.org/2012/10things.slide

Brad gave an interesting talk at the GoSf meetup. For anyone curious about Go, I recommend going to this. Not to mention airbnb runs a smooth meetup.

What is the posts count on Go on Hacker News now? Anyone been counting?
- noelwelsh 14y ago
  This. The frequency of posts on Go is getting to spamming levels.

    They won't make it off the 'new' page if they don't have community interest. If you don't think a particular article is right for this site, then flag it and move on.

  I usually see one on the front page every day or so (today there is two, often there are none). I admit I don't tend to read any further than that, so I could well be missing most of them.

Why does Chrome think that "This page is in Malay"?
