The last thing people would want to do is apply for a job using a personal profile. This would be worse than applying with a foxydude84@hotmail.com address. Edit: Also, I think they've really lost the plot now and seem to be desperate f

We probably won't witness a spectacle like the one with The Oatmeal again in our lifetime! Yes, the title is needlessly sensationalist but it astounds me how we can't even get media professionals to get these things right. Would TNW be very

Are you his friend? Am I his friend? Clearly, this isn't "sharing things to friends". I don't attribute either. I don't need to because I only post a link to the original. XKCD is best delivered with the title and hover text which is imposs

Doesn't look very good on chrome. Even if you fixed the cross browser issues, it would look amateurish. I'm not trying to be rude, my websites tend to look amateurish at first go too. You might want to hire a designer for a redesign though.

How does this compare with colo? Did you compare costs and benefits? Edit: Never mind, I just realised colo won't work for you because they'd probably expect servers that fit correctly in their racks and your computer cabinets probably won'

The problem is that the privacy needs of the users of social networking sites are at odds with the commercial interests of the social networking sites. Not necessarily. If Google is looking at stuff I share on google+ to find out more abo

One guy makes an asshole comment. He gets a couple of votes. It's now "a glaring indictment of the HN community overall". What were you saying about generalisations again? Or does that apply only to women?

You can delete comments and close comment threads on your own posts on Google+, just like you can on wordpress.

Oh great! Another "Look at me, I'm a woman" post. I'm going to call her a "stuck up bitch" in her wordpress comments and see if wordpress has some magical powers to stop me from judging her in public. Edit: Also, the reason I (and most othe

Lines are infinitely extended. Maybe you meant a line segment. Line segments have a minimum of 2 points.

I'm where oacgnol is at too. Just as an addendum to what he said, are there any pro programmers here who went from C to A? How much time did this take you? I feel like I struggled way too much to much to get basic computing concepts - netma

I'm not very surprised. If he told me about it, I would find it quite hard to believe that Google's programmers made such an error too.

I don't know about google but I "punished" them already when I heard they're looking to sell and the buyer might be facebook. I doubt it's just me. Opera is not open source, they distribute only binaries. If the new buyer stuffs it with rub

I don't think spamming and email addresses are in anyway correlated at all. If spamming made me a lot of money, I'd just register a domain like 12345immaspamyou12345.com and make as many email addresses as I want anyway. Rejecting legitimat

When the maintainers are uninterested in their website, it makes more sense to sell something when it's making revenues of 200k+ than wait till it's in shambles and worthless. Also, you never know if they needed the sale proceeds to pay for

You should try google+. I like it better than twitter and I use it primarily as a news stream. The only reason I don't use it more regularly is that they don't have a proper API yet and therefore have no apps for my blackberry.

You make your own banking system or something. Say you give a class of 10, $2 each. They all owe it back to you which makes the balance -2 each. So ask them how much you're owed back in entirety. I bet most of the class will crack it themse

I've got 3 of those errors in the last 2 days. The 500 error page seems poorly formatted when compared to their 404 page which suggests they'd be surprised about anyone getting 500 errors too!

You should consider caching your post before putting it here. Google doesn't seem to have a cached version either and I'm unable to read your post because your site is down.

No difference. CEO is when the founder likes to call himself that! Think about it - CHIEF EXECUTIVE Officer. Required only when you have many executive officers and you need a chief for them. Funnily, here in Bangalore, there are so many st

If a person is successful in one business should we subject ourselves to his idiotic views on another business? By definition they can’t go into an equity unless there already is liquidity. HFTs who are usually market makers [1] maintain

If somebody makes a statement of fact saying a certain person sent him an email and gives exact strings from that email, merely saying "That was not in the text of my email" will hardly be a legal problem. I would have agreed with you if th

looks like they've assigned a larger weight to this post so it falls faster but there's no way to be sure of course. I don't see why so many regular HNers would flag this post.

If the facts provided on the reddit post were untrue (such as the email replies), they would have been refuted by now.

Poor guy is hard up for cash and getting it up here might get someone in authority at YC to fix the problem. As for lynch mobs, her twitter profile shows no signs of such a thing. That's 1 for Reddit/HN and 0 for her as far as maturity is c
