The tone in this article is unbelievable. > The case raises questions over whether Craigslist is stifling innovation or simply protecting its data There is no question. Craigslist isn't stopping Padmapper from being built, its stopping

Or maybe cost of doing business? I mean, I can self sign SSL certs, so why does the browser give me warnings on https URLs? Mozilla must be arm in arm with Verisign. I'm shocked an open source company could be this evil. I will never browse

I agree. One of my good friends is a realtor. Facebook changed the way she does business. It is the source of 80+ percent of her leads and is, quite frankly, the MOST important social network to her. Github may be the most important social

Aside from the "what exactly is this?" reaction, I just can't seem to get over the fact that I'm being asked to pay someone to build a service I will then have to pay for. This just seems absurd to me. Either build it and I'll pay to use it

Why are you here commenting on this then? Just avoid the Microsoft articles and we can avoid your valueless commentary.

I'm sorry, you switched from writing your backend in PHP to writing it in Javascript because you believe Javascript let's you more fully understand what's going on behind the scenes? I'm quite curious as to your understanding of how the web

Well said. I'm actually shocked that a community of entrepreneurs would take the position that it's OK to demand access to a company's competitive advantage in order to compete with them. I'm not sure if it's a sense of entitlement foster

And support the conscious ones? Pretty much every major tech company these days (Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Oracle, etc.) is evil in some ways and not in others. People are excited because Microsoft is one of the few tech companies w

If you read "several reviews" and still don't know that it will run Windows 8 then you have issues beyond what tablet to buy next.

I disagree. In this scenario her parents do have a straightforward recourse - go and buy her the physical device sold by the patent owners (who's interface is apparently almost exactly the same, hence the patent infringement claim). Now, yo

Fair points. I agree on the first (basic programming courses are now being offered by some schools, but they're not mandatory and far from universal), however I'm a little more hesitant on the second. Knowledge of physics is extremely impor

This point seems to make the same assumption I've been seeing across HN that programming is somehow more _special_ than other fields/creative outlets. All of his points are the same for people who lack a deep understanding of physics, which

Why cede the self-hosted source control market to Github if, as you say, most people don't know Github has a presence there? If that's the case, this sounds like a great time for them to enter this market.

Interesting that all of these points apply equally to Exec (a ycombinator startup), but everybody had nothing but praise for them.

It seems like there is a growing market for offering the most basic of web development tasks as a service to all the non-technical people trying to start a site these days. It seems people are moving away from all-in-one website builders (n

Try Navicat. Works cross platform and is extremely powerful and robust. Best GUI RDBM I've ever used.

"For example, this figure also includes... FedEx and UPS employees." Well, I'm sorry to hear that FedEx and UPS are responsible for creating far fewer jobs than I previously thought.

For Postgres there's Momoko http://momoko.61924.nl/ which is really quite nice. If you're using MySQL you have a few options including patching MySQLdb as explained by chartio ( http://chart.io/blog/2011/06/10/making-mysql-queries-asynchr

I would argue that journalists shouldn't be making "jumps" at all. Report and critique the facts not what you think they may imply.
