   This is not going to end well. Mark my words. Temptation to game an access to a 1 mil opt-in mail list is very real. From auctioning a chance to write, to product placements, to ads, to god knows what else. That's not to get into messages o

   Collapsing is not a bad idea if there's a threshold setting in Preferences set to some sensible default (e.g. -5).

   Is this a toy project or are you guys planning to develop it further? There is a couple of really neat opportunities to turn this sort of service into a good business.

   That's pretty creative even if it's prone to abuse. I bet one can source pretty much any quote from HN, in the worst case linking to one's own post :)

    Well, no, it is not the best solution by a wide margin. There is no reason Firefox has to go into a system ProgramFiles directory when it is installed by a user. It needs to go into the user's ProgramFiles. If it is installed by an ad

    These are all fine and valid points, but the fact remains that a free game app might be very tempted to complement its lousy revenue by stealing and reselling users' address books and anything else their app can get its hands on. I as an iP

    It wasn't supposed to. Reinventing a wheel is a good thing, that's what a majority of people on HN do on daily basis. This is what moves things forward. "Reeked of sarcasm". Jeez.

    While I appreciate a good piece of code and the need to reinvent a wheel, I wouldn't call your implementation "aesthetically pleasing" either. IMO your fallback option is the solution, simply appending "(5)" to the page title when there a

    In a condensed form of a rhetorical question it states that LRU cache containers are fairly trivial and they are routinely implemented as a part of larger projects. It typically takes under an hour to do and it comes out lighter and more le

    Skype and Microsoft aside - what is there to patent to begin with? They effectively describe mangling the call setup to make the call go through a recording agent. This is obnoxiously trivial.

    Raster images are largely useless for professional design purposes. Moreover, the images that are trivial to sketch on a paper with a pencil and turn into PNGs by snapping and cleaning up a photo. This is trivial. It's like trying to sell "

    It's not being blamed on the opposition from what I can tell, but rather quite squarely on the US that is meddling with Russia's internal affairs.
