I don't see any hostility. The comment was certainly not polite, but I wouldn't say it was unfriendly.

Don't get a Makerbot. It's not bad but you can do much better. Assuming you are in the US, here are some recommendations: http://www.makergear.com/ MakerGear makes great printers. Amazing customer support and they even have an IRC channel

I remember reading a story about a wealthy Australian that went to court regarding his offshore assets. The assets were under a trust that locked him out of making any decisions, automatically triggered when he became a defendant in such a

I think a discrete watermark at the bottom of the photo is fine. It often helps me find the author of a photo randomly reposted somewhere.

I wonder why they chose a pay-as-you-go system depending on how much energy they use. I think this would be much better as a rent-to-own program with a flat monthly fee.

I use subtitles most of the time. It helps a lot with strange accents and noisy movies. I can watch most things without subs, but I have to turn up the volume and it can get annoying. I've used some desktop apps that do the same thing your

Joking aside, I think this might be a good idea.

Think of a bank that CANNOT have an effective vault because there is technology available that allows people to walk through solid matter. You could outlaw (or make difficult to use, restrict its features) the walk-through-walls technology.

In the age of the internet, you have to grab the viewer's attention in mere seconds. A lot of marketers don't know how to do that without being annoying.

I think it's on AWS. So whatever that buys you on Amazon. The 2 download limit made me worry about disconnecting or restarting the download. I also can't make my download manager open more than one connection, in case that locks me out of t

I've enjoyed much of Louis CK's content without a chance to put some money in his pocket. So I've bought this. $5 feels like a good price point. I don't think I would have paid $20, especially if I knew that he would only be getting a small

The thing I like about NoScript is that you can set it to block everything, even on trusted sites. You have to click the placeholder to make it load, or if there isn't a placeholder (web fonts, hidden flash embeds) you have to look at the B

I'd say if you need 400 people to work on just Evernote, you must be doing something wrong.

First I used AdBlock and FlashBlock. Then I used AdBlock and NoScript. Then I stopped using AdBlock. What a shock that was. NoScript would still catch the nasty stuff and block those talking Flash ads, but it was much less noticeable. I don

I've dived in the Wordpress codebase a few times, I think it wouldn't be very hard to rewrite major parts. However, I don't think you can fix much without breaking tons of plugins, themes and 3rd party tools that integrate with Wordpress. A

Easy way to check if you are hellbanned: Visit the .org website and you won't be logged in. http://news.ycombinator.org/submitted?id=YOUR_USERNAME_HERE If all your latest comments are grey, shed a tear for the time you've wasted.

You can also use the same method (or similar) to check if a user is logged-in in any 3d party websites.

How does the dual licensing work exactly? Can't we just use the GPLv3 version on any commercial (or personal) website? As long as I'm not redistributing commercial software with Kendo included, I am within the rights GPL grants me, right?

If a script is supposed to run when the DOM is ready but external scripts/stylesheets/etc are still being loaded, it should not attach itself to the load event. The load event is supposed to run when the page has fully loaded. By the way, I

I am not sure what this accomplishes, other than making the stats look better in their monitoring tool. They pretty much seem to admit this: "Conclusion: the loading, parsing and executing of the async third party scripts are quite often ve

Interesting story and well-written article. Thinking about the massive amount of footage this project has generated, I'm hoping they've spent the money to store all of it. I would love an interactive movie or a full-on video game (anyone re

I was referring to the fear, not the actual products. If Google entering your market doesn't scare you, you are either a fool or lucky to be in a defensible position.
