I don't think so. I can only speak for myself and some of what I've observed in my colleagues, of course. From what I've seen, you can only work on one thing so much before you grow to resent it. You need to take time off fro

They're just recruiting based on specific search terms. It's not your search data or related to your browser. If you find a search term that pops up the recruiting message, you can send it to your friends and they'll be able

Of course this could happen. This plugin automates clicking ads on a page, which does directly violate exactly what that section of the TOU is saying.

This feels a bit clickbaity. As far as I can tell nobody really interviews in this fashion anymore. The actual content makes it seem like an interesting show akin to Black Mirror.

Correct. Since I can't get through account creation at all I'm mostly stuck. I've tried social media, but without much luck there as well.

Yeah, have had similar problems, dealing with Google support is a nightmare. I can't use Google Ads at all anymore. I once had an account for a business in NY, and I was listed as the point of contact for it. Lost access to that accoun

That is not true. If a user asks a question about the rules or the validity of a post/flagging, it's fine to discuss. You don't like the fact that I'm criticizing this thread, which is fine, but stop trying to cherry-pic

Which was in reply to a question about why the thread was being flagged. This was not an unprompted complaint about an inappropriate submission, this was a reply to a question.

It's hard to say, but Apple has definitely learned that people don't like paying for minor-ish OS upgrades. I hope Microsoft has learned from that.

> Meanwhile, you're definitely breaking the "Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site." rule. I'm actually replying to a discussion started about flagging.

The Patriot Act (and policy in general) can have a serious impact on software companies for sure. However, this is a politically charged thread clearly aimed at drawing interest/support for an individual candidate. This is not supposed

No, the rules state that this post should not be here. You're conflating opinion and fact. Please stop. Majority vote does not dictate fact. HN is not a "anything and everything can be on the front page of the community votes it a

I agree that public policy that impacts software is very relevant to HN in general. However, this post is clearly meant to draw focus to supporting a political candidate specifically. A thread about the cons of the renewal of the Patriot Ac

I think you're missing the point entirely. I'm not saying my opinion matters, I'm just pointing out that this thread is definitely not supposed to be on HN, as is defined by the rules of the website. I'm not positing an

That stuff doesn't belong either, and you should flag it. Not entirely sure what the point of this reply was. Are you saying that we should post irrelevant things across the spectrum to get revenge on people who post other irrelevant t

That doesn't necessarily matter. It's well established by now that communities tend to upvote things they "like", not specifically things that belong. We know there's a large overlap between users of HN and Libertar

I'm unclear as to how this thread is legitimate, personally. Doesn't seem to really fit with HN. I'm no fan of the Patriot Act either, but this belongs somewhere like Reddit.

In the end it hardly matters. People developing malware like this are usually in countries that don't have any cyber crime laws, so they don't need to be incredibly good at covering their tracks to begin with.

Sorry, that's not how the world works. HN is so hypocritical. NSA accused of spying on peoples private data? Get out the pitchforks! Tons of innocent peoples private lives leaked by Assange? Woo! We did it Hacker News! We showed them!

Are you kidding me? These are not just work emails. In 15 minutes of reading I've found personal communications, medical issues, people confiding in a friend over marital problems, etc. This is 2015. People use their work email for per

I can confirm that it doesn't shut off. At least in my case, it beeps for a while saying "KEY NOT DETECTED", but it doesn't seem to actually do anything about it. When my key battery was low this would occasionally happe

Presumably these buttons would be free anyways, since they generate tons of revenue if they do what Amazon thinks they'll do. In the end though, the buttons are really just an advertisement for the real product: the API.

This is definitely the case. Sometimes you get lucky and get a mid 6-fig payout (me and a friend did in a medium-sized acquisition), but most of the money I and most of my friends make is from RSUs, high salary, and year-end bonuses that ar

I hate this stupid kind of slippery slope argument. If you fear everything being used by the NSA (or whatever the current boogie-man is here on HN), you'll never make any progress. This type of technology could also be used by handicap

If you want eventually widespread adoption, the foundation of the currency cannot be illegal. This isn't even a case of questionable morality, there's some really obviously huge illegal transactions going through on Bitcoin. If yo

It is, but it's much easier to prevent these types of scams with cash. As much as people hate banks and such, things like chargebacks are also possible in more extreme situations. In Bitcoin, once your money is in their hands, you&#x27

The problem is that the majority of money changing hands appears to be for illegal uses. When the internet was in its infancy, this was absolutely not the case. I'm sure there was something going on, but it wasn't the primary use.

The title is very click-baity, I think we can all agree on that. However, a lot of the points made within are completely legit. The Bitcoin world is rife with scams and one of the primary uses of Bitcoin is to engage in illegal transactions
