I can see OAUTH working for apps/mashups - but not sure how that goes for humans.

What's wrong with OpenID? We just implemented it on our new site and it works just great. I suspect that many start=up sites just fail to notice it or feel they want more information about a user than they are guaranteed by the OpenID proce

Sorry, did not mean to offend but I had read that piece earlier in the day and decided it was completely silly on multiple levels. Loved the warning that X-Rays contained cancerous chemicals in particular but there were many highlights.

I can see this might be posted to Reddit (humor certainly or WTF) but surely not HN.

Probably because they are Reddit users who think downvoting is normal behavior. Keep doing what you are doing (upvote the good stuff, ignore the majority of comments and [perhaps] downvote rude and spam comments) and maybe they will go awa

OK, say I am a phone maker who is not sinking into the mire like RIM - so why would I buy into the Blackberry OS? If I am RIM and I am finding it hard to compete in the smartphone market at the moment - why would I want other manufacturers

I remember some years ago talking to the CEO of a company that was doing a great job of selling to us - I mean way over expectations - fantastic. I asked - how much are you paying that guy - he is great? the answer was - "an OK salary" - bu

Flagged - this is totally not what HN is about. Who the heck up-voted this crap?

Amen, In the UK the "Revenue" take a pretty dim view of those who only pay themselves dividends. Take a proper salary and see how that changes things.

OK - you recognise that it was an error not to change the equity split at the point when your level of commitment to the project abruptly changed and exceeded your partners. In your current situation I assume you are now drawing a salary as

Good advice stacking up here - but the challenge is in getting your boss to appreciate the huge step from sample exercises in programming to building a real life application. It could be the equivalent of learning to saw through a couple of

Ship - Market - Ship - then Repeat Simple and to the point. People can like your idea but they can only be a fan when there is something they can actually use. Unfinished maybe but getting better all the time. I started today.

AS nobody (as far as I can tell) ever reads more than one (short) paragraph of any email - the key thing is to keep it short. If you have two points to make then send two emails. If you have three points to make - then call a meeting becaus

Carping I know but: The car might go that far in daylight if it isn't raining and the batteries are fresh - oh and you do not go very fast... Plus Tesla are hardly a volume car company - very few cars on the road when you take all the fuss

Only thing I am not sure about is the focus on "===" - I think it is a pain and fails in too many instances to do what the programmer would expect.

I disagree as well - it is a very capable language with some very friendly features. Also it is very applicable for many new programmers - an all round good choice.

OK we get it - there are lots of planets out there. Given there are billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, I expect there are quite a few more. Given they are all a very long way away and not getting any closer any time soon, ne

Without question, MUMPS is the worst programming language in active commercial use.

If this is a contest - then I declare "No Contest". C++ is a standards based language available across multiple platforms and the other one isn't.

This post seems a bit parochial for HN but - an observation - US presidential candidates are never poor - I don't think they care about the salary you know.

The key point surely is that English is a living language that is adapting constantly to reflect a world culture as it develops. Plus there is a great body of existing English speakers in Europe matched by qualified teachers in most seconda

English would save more - as it would require a much smaller education budget and most of the infrastructure is in place already.

I am pretty sure that Germany and France made a major tactical error in trying to deal with an issue directly affecting just 17 EU member status through an extension to the EU treaty. The UK had no choice but to veto the proposals as they s
