> well, the stigma is that it outright tells me you don't have friends. That doesn't even make sense. Want to try again?

It's ambiguously worded, but I don't read that to imply that he thinks every point on the 50th parallel is equidistant from the pole and the equator. Break the clauses into separate sentences and you'll see what I mean: Every point on this

I like Foxit too, but people should be aware that you have to opt-out of some shitty crap-ware toolbar during installation.

Yeah, there's absolutely no solution to this, so the idea is a non-starter. (sarcasm)

Can you really argue in good faith that you are legally authorized to print something on their printer?

Were you able to get to your blog without signing up? I can't seem to manage to.

I haven't followed Givewell recently, but they were involved in a fiasco over at metafilter where they were sockpuppeting to promote themselves and bad-mouth competitors. Unethical behavior of the founders aside, the devil is in the details

Given how bad the discussion is in both threads, it kind of seems that the system is working. The info is interesting, but this is not the best of HN.

I'm not sharecropping e-mail for Google by using GMail. Instagram users are now unpaid freelancers, and some of them don't like it.

But as the adage goes, the only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is not training them and having them stay.

Err, should should be extension method.

Make an remain method called Filter then. And one called Map while you're at it. What a non-issue.

Agreed. Making someone wait a significant amount of time to vote is not that different from a poll tax.

That is the difference between a protocol and a site/platform. As an operator, you could choose not to carry news groups that you find objectionable. Or you can choose not to visit websites you don't want to support. Reddit is too monolithi

Of course he doesn't, the claim barely makes sense.

Only if by "look[ing] good", you mean it changes your opinion of them. From most perspectives it doesn't really matter when they decided to move in this direction since it's their data. It's the same thing we've seen over and over, where

They are not rotting today, but only because of competitive pressure from Firefox, Chrome, GMail, Yahoo and Open Office. There was a long period of MS lounging after winning the space.

How many 404 pages have you seen today? I just looked in my Firefox history, and it appears I didn't see a single 404 page in all of August or September. So first of all, there's the question of whether you would even get any page views.

See related discussion from 3 years ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1148200 And as I said then: I think the intentions behind the idea - trying to do some societal good with your web site - are great. It's just seems odd to me th

If it's that important, it shouldn't go on a 404 page (which, ideally, people won't see). You should dedicate space on all of your pages for pictures of missing kids. And escaped convicts.

I didn't read the comment as referring to the author as an admin, it was just offering a lowly position stand-in in the current hypothetical.

Maybe he doesn't want to risk jail time. And that's not even supposing he doesn't want to aid the distribution of it.
