Perhaps one or some of the tech press that read HN will pick this story up and give you all some more link juice? Or, perhaps some of those anonymous vigilantes will be happy to have new targets to go after. I realize this is somewhat off-t

I read through most of this thread with much respect for your tact and exhibition of thick-skin. I resisted clicking through, so as not to bias my judgment (many comments noting cleavage). Eventually, I felt compelled to visit the linked ar

We have a saying on the river: "Rig to flip, dress to swim." The idea is that you assume you will flip in the first big drop and your boat will be upside down. So, you lash everything down sufficiently (use secure best practices), wear a

You should probably change your root password at this point since the default root password is the same for all devices.

I agree with you completely wrt China/FB. However, given your comment's assertion, I thought you might find the stories of those incidents interesting as I did.

I find this interesting because I was just reading about these incidents from the early 20th century in the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_massacre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Blair_Mountain Both of these articles ar

While I don't know specifically how much equity they intend to sell, investment banks typically like to make their IPOs between $12-14/ share. Given their last VC round was funded by Morgan Stanley and T. Rowe Price [1], I would guess they

To clarify, G+ allows for video conferencing with a maximum of 10 people[1]. Skype requires payment for multi-party video conferencing. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%2B#Features Edit: Added citation.

My guess is that there will be adverts via FB, but ad-free when paying Skype directly for it. Edit: To add that I hope Google offers a paid version without the data mining or adverts. I assume this is the monetization strategy for Google+,

The OP was not speaking for a corporation, near as I could tell, but was speaking as a concerned employee. The response from RIMM was equally anonymous, yet it wreaked of the PHB mentality that got RIMM where it is in the first place.

Most of us do this everytime we post to HN and let our logic stand for itself. I feel this is the most reasonable way to conduct ourselves, and I have come to hate browsing blog comments after being spoiled by HN.

Embarrassingly enough, I'm not smart enough to parse your comment for correctness. If I were, I would be building a product to model that exact understanding of the market if it is, indeed, accurate. EDIT: grammar

If it's as you suggest, and there are people that have done this previously. it would seem there was insufficient marketing. It would be interesting to hear the details of this incident and thought process.

I happen to find this post very helpful as a student of the craft, and your comments seem to be defensive of a traditional approach because you don't care to examine the reasons for the choices you've made. The pros and cons of either choic

From what I remember, the credit card and merchant acquiring companies were more interested in transactions that were of low value, and in which time was more of an issue. So, they went after quick service restaurants, convenience stores, a

ESPN is owned by Disney[1], and I believe it is considered a channel conflict (i.e. don't compete with your customers). In effect, by making their content less scarce, their customers (Comcast, Dish) would ask for a discount during the nego

Couldn't they simply tell their affiliates they were considering terminating the program as early as possible? I have to believe they were aware of the situation, and monitoring patiently as it unfolded. For example, I knew it was imminent

I'm curious why you wouldn't just buy a small SSD (i.e. 40GB) and put it in the mini yourself?

I'm not sure anyone is arguing over whether people should or shouldn't judge each other, but rather arguing over the metrics used. I'm not for PC in conduct, and I offend people in person quite often. Most people I interact with these days

Getting some more color from your responses, I would have to say it is not worth it unless you intend to climb a corporate ladder. Otherwise, I think it would be more practical to learn this stuff from a person already experienced while on

I find your comment quite interesting because I'm so familiar with financial terms/ acronyms, and read earnings reports all the time. On the other hand, here on HN I am _constantly_ looking up terms (new to developing). Seekingalpha is a fi
