His net worth prior to the raid was estimated at $200M.

Regardless of your stance on the entire Mega issue, no-one can deny that the raid is simply terrifying. Personally I have no clue how they justified such a heavily armed response particularly considering the fact that Dotcom never posed a p

Sounds exceptionally sketchy. They claim Twitter, Google+, etc is a waste of time/money? It's your money, if you're willing to have it 'wasted' then they should at least give other networks a try. It's your com

I've used both Windows Phone and iOS quite extensively and one of the few things I think WP does well is the UI. To give Apple credit, the new design looks incredibly different whilst maintaining the familiarity.

Interesting that most of the well known UK events don't get a mention. HN London is Europe's largest regular tech event for example. Side-point: I've been to LeWeb a few times and I have yet to meet a single person who felt t

Out of curiosity, why not just send a letter in the post? Pretty hard to trace an anonymous letter. EDIT: Just spotted the update. Question answered.

Purely anecdotal I'm afraid but considering how pg likes to keep the algorithms relatively secret, it's probably as good as you'll get. Anyway, a good friend (and a relatively new member of HN) upvoted a post (not my post) and after refresh

1) True 2) False 3) True All of the above require context and/or elaboration. 1. The HN voting ring detection process is exceptionally clever. Bottom line: If the same few users, IP's, etc are constantly upvoting your posts, it will trigger

That's a reasonable summary however the comments that will fill this thread will inevitably focus on the "developer == plumber" analogy.

This entire thing is a publicity stunt for a comedians new show. This isn't newsworthy. The tax avoidance issues plaguing Apple & Google are categorically news, but this stunt is PR for a show, nothing more.

All solid advice. I'd like to add to it with some absolute basics: 1. Avoid sounding scripted at all costs. I'm sure you'd be more comfortable practicing a certain pitch but a rehearsed script is obvious to everyone in the room. Sounding na

It's not a campaign to convince elderly tourists to return to the park. It's a campaign to convince people like me, a National Trust member who's half the age of the person in your example, that the National Trust attractions aren't all stu

It's the UK. It's a tongue-in-cheek play on the familiarity. Considering how popular the campaign has been online, I'd say it's an outstanding idea.

nothing would really prevent an individual from registering several accounts using different IP addresses and maintain a certain level of activity on each, then use 3-4 of them to propel his/her stories to the front page. Not particularly

Paddy is definitely a lot more common but a bit weak on the scale of racial slurs.

It really isn't. I'm Irish born & raised and have lived in London now for the last 4 years and not only have I never, ever heard the term used in a derogatory manor, I can't imagine any context where a fellow Irishman would take offence

It's a racial slur against the irish. - Only in the US. If you were to call an Irish person a mick anywhere outside of the US you'd be met with a confused look and them re-introducing themselves with their actual name.

I've spent time in both Aus & NZ and I promise you, the recruitment industry on your side of the world is vastly different to the UK & US. That being siad, your point is completely valid. There is an upside to getting recruiter call

Name and shame. I'm intrigued. If they are London based then there's a very strong chance I'll know them. As I recommend in my post, contact the company, ask to speak to someone in a position of authority and instruct them to remove all you

Not sure what the situation is in the US but I have yet to meet a single successful recruiter in the UK that works less than a 60 hour week. Recruiter hours on this side of the world are quite notorious.

Recruiters are not technical and never will be. "I think I'll quit programming and start recruiting" -- No one, ever. I guess I'm the exception to the rule then. I studied software development in a prestigious university and worked as a d
