Clearly they have a bug, but as far as actually deleting your data; I am willing to be it'll never be deleted. They couldn't possibly manage the data if you could remove pieces, since everything on facebook is intertwined (likes,

Firstly, your layout isn't unique, but more importantly the website in question didn't do anything illegal or immoral. You followed pretty standard layout designs that are simply attributed to the responsive web revolution. Your s

Better to ask "Are you willing to work at a place where you are required to work late nights and weekends because our business is mismanaged and delusional?"

This is more of treating the symptom(s) and not the problem(s). Regarding DRM in general, it exists to prevent piracy, and piracy exists because content is easier to obtain, consume, and share through these 'illegal' methods. If p

Good news everyone, an entire generation or more of people don't make phone calls regularly. We use text based form of communication that are ideally encrypted. Also this data is just metadata, I see no reason they are tracking little jimmy

But whats the point of having 2 closets if I cant fill it with all my crap!? Seriously, this is totally a real problem and perhaps if they had an option to donate proceeds to charity people would tick that checkbox..

The difference between how Google acquires companies and Yahoo has under Mayer is that Google focuses on Acquihires, bringing each of their hired companies teams on board and integrating them into the culture, etc. Yahoo seems to be going w

As an owner of two spheros, I disagree entirely. This ball is fun for the first 5 minutes, once the honeymoon phase is over, it just sits on the charging station glowing blue, incessantly. It was nice when my dog liked playing with it and I

I truly hope this is successful, not in the sense that these guys monetize it and become millionaires, but that the world in general does need a way to supplement our diets in a more sustainable way. What irks me though, is the lack of a tr

Quick answer: They didnt, instead they destroyed the product and the founders left (along with the rest of the talent attached to the product) in 2008

Creating a Hacker News clone for X does not actually create a Hacker News for X, because HN is the community, the people, not the product itself. Yes PG has created an awesome backend and easy to use front end free of complexities that othe

You should look in NJ (specifically Union City, Jersey City, West New York). I live in Weehawken and spent all my energy looking (for months) in NYC. After living in Astoria (amazing neighborhood) for two and a half years, I decided I wante

Came here to ask this. Your call to actions, etc are kind of lack-luster (although I have been waiting for a product like this for quite some time). Are you optimizing your own funnel(s) with this? Please tell!

Agreed, I just was using it as an example. Taking action doesn't have to mean restricting our freedoms.

No, people will always kill other people, that is the unfortunate truth of human nature. That doesn't mean there aren't multiple problems here, and each one with multiple solutions. Our lawmakers know just as well as we do, that more laws w

Try saying that when you are directly affected by actions like this. It is easy to stand back at 100ft and say this type of crap, but the fact is, crazy people are all around us, and we should try to be proactive instead of reactive. We as

This is pretty shiesty. I wonder if there is anything we (the american people) can do to change this type of behavior? I honestly dont know what someone like myself can do to take action and have my voice heard.

I love this. When I start my next business, I will have learned how NOT to grow a 'startup' e.g. hiring to grow, instead of growing to hire, raising money to prove a business model instead of being profitable from the start, and giving your

I don't really know anyone aside from founders and first hires that take a pay hit to go work at a startup, most of my friends, and myself, make fair market salaries, but the learning opportunities are massive compared to the corporate alte

While I agree with a few things here, I also agree you are very much a cynic (and that can be good). I too am a cynic, but I also believe that the startup culture we have created has many more benefits than you seem to weigh in on. I don't
