I am in Bombay and there is indeed a scare of some kind going around. N95 masks are selling at 5 times the normal price. The media echo chamber is in scare mode. All my newspaper front page headlines have been about swine flu since quite

Thank you! I had noticed clicking the status bar icon but didn't really see the minus! Life's good again.

Do you have an api or do you support some desktop/console linux clients? I prefer having a blinking icon in the taskbar when there is some non urgent activity demanding my attention and checking a browser tab every few minutes is inefficie

I would not want my application to be able to tell if I am logged in or out at the openid provider. I like the way things work with openid. It's simple, elegant and it works beautifully. I don't want facebook connect/ MS passport like ses

The guy down the road might not have convinced anyone directly but he did contribute to your cause by making the need for discussing GWB ever so slightly stronger in your community enabling you to do what you did.

I have never programmed with .NET (been coding exclusively in linux for years), but the framework looks interesting and the WPF has caught my eye. I will probably be one of those who will be exclusively learning the mono version of the .NE

Is there a neat and simple pdf resume template that replicates something like this? What tex templates have HN people used for their resume?

Fair enough. What you have pointed out is that there are not many micro-actions that can help the poor. But, that doesn't mean there aren't any macro-actions that can. I am in India. I too can't do anything to help the poor but my govern

You are suggesting that available of opportunity and future outcome make slavery ok. I do not believe that. I guess we just have fundamentally different world views. Honest mortgages and education loans are not slavery. Intentionally igno

No. De-incentivize the lender. Create better exit situations for the borrower there by making such activity extremely unattractive for the lender. Spend tax dollars educating and discouraging the borrower. This is valid because such condi

Are ordinary "good" citizens capable of really providing such "intelligence" without doing much damage for things about to happen? I doubt it. However, I really appreciate the sheer lack of original journalism that came from ordinary citiz

As an Indian, I couldn't be more proud... what really excites me is that they are doing it at 77 million usd... There are many dot com companies that get sold for more than that!
