SVT:s partiledardebatt bjöd mestadels på kända tongångar. Men temperaturen höjdes när EU:s fria rörlighet ledde till debatt om arbetskraftsinvandring.

An anonymous reader writes with a snippet from ExtremeTech: "After being continuously inhabited for more than 13 years, it is finally possible to log into Ustream and watch the Earth spinning on its axis in glorious HD. This video feed [embedded at ExtremeTech] comes from from four high-definition cameras, delivered by last month's SpaceX CRS-3 resupply mission, that are attached to the outside of the International Space Station. You can open up the Ustream page at any time, and as long as it isn't night time aboard the ISS, you'll be treated to a beautiful view of the Earth from around 250 miles (400 km) up."

Läget var minst sagt oklart efter att Libyen utsett - eller inte utsett - en ny premiärminister på söndagen. Den libyske affärsmannen Ahmed Maiteeq fick förtroendet att leda det av konflikter splittrade landet. Beskedet om att Maiteeq utsetts lämnades av parlamentets andre vice talman, Saleh Makhzoun, efter ett stormigt plenum i parlamentet. Men senare på kvällen tillbakavisade parlamentets förste vice talman, Ezzedin al-Awami, utnämningen och förklarade den ogiltig.

En pungmes, som sällan syns till så långt upp som i Uppland, har fått ornitologer att vallfärda till en privat trädgård i området Årholmen i Sigtuna, skriver metro.se.

Det par som greps i onsdags för dödsfallet på en åttaårig flicka i Karlskrona häktades i går på sannolika skäl misstänkta för mord. Båda nekar till brottet. Åklagaren antyder att tillhygge kan ha förekommit i samband med flickans död.

First time accepted submitter bdrasin (17319) writes "I've had a series of interviews with a late-term startup (approx. 300 employees) and I think there is a good chance they will make me an offer. The technology is great, my skills and interests are a good fit for the position, I think the company has a promising future, and I like they team. Frankly I'm damn excited about it, more so than for any job in my career. However, I'm worried about what could euphemistically be called 'cultural' issues. I'm a few years over 40, with a wife and kids, and all of the engineers at the company seem to be at least 10 years younger than I am. Being at the company's office gives me a distinct old guy at the club feeling. I don't think the overall number of hours the team works is more than I could handle, but the team does a lot of young-single-guy-at-a-startup group activities (rent-a-limo-and-go-clubbing night, weekends in Tahoe, Burning Man, in-office happy hour) that I wouldn't want or be able to participate in; I need to be home with my family for dinner most nights and weekends and so on. I'm wondering if anyone else has had the experience of working at a startup with, or as, an older programmer, and how it worked out?"
