So you're not actually questioning the act of giving away the money either? Your point of contention is "Why is he posting this?" ? That's actually quite an interesting line of inquiry. I'd suggest it probably helps raise his company's pr

Fine I'll bite, it is INTERESTING it is different it sparks debate and it gives life to a conversation about bonuses and compensation in our industry. Lots of people here are also founders (or plan to be) so form that perspective it is int

Those laughable people have a different name this year... voters. I won't address the rest of your post. HN political discussions usually make me cringe and I don't have a dog in this fight anyway.

If the economy continues the way it has for the last 4 months I think the exact opposite will be true. Recent economic news has been good and Obama's approval rating has hit 50% in some polls - if you take out the blip for the bin Laden hi

I have no idea about the numbers but by MS's "bread and butter" I was referring to business software sales of offline office suite. MS's response to google's entry into that market was to ramp up their own online versions of their more fam

MegaUpload are foreign. They're based in Hong Kong. Also there were pretty high profile domain seizures done in two bouts over the last two years. ICE/DOJ seized domains (google it) - some of those were foreign based but with .com or .net

Ultimately fixing the system is the way to go. I don't think the OP's boycotts would do ANYTHING to address that issue. As a short-term fix having tech giants throw money at politicians would probably be effective. However then the tech

I disagree pretty strongly, what I found most refreshing and "revolutionary" about the occupy movement was it's lack of a strong detailed message. It made it massively inclusive, it is not a one issue movement it is a new way of involving

I think "can't read" would also include the case of "haven't read". Making the "haven't read" component somewhat redundant. Aesthetically it doesn't scan well - I think adding it in parens would be the way to go if you want to make that ki

I'm not sure it takes into consideration the orientation of the image, I was using that as a short cut - E.G. arrow points to circle and such. This made about half of them solvable by inspection in under 15 seconds for me. However the resu
