They are actively using that patent. They're against 'low quality' patents owned by companies that don't use them to create anything. If they're lobbying for patent reform then isn't that a good indication of where they stand on the issue?

Yet still it's a positive move. Startups will benefit from it.

Wrong type of community for me personally. It's mostly designers and not enough interesting stuff from an engineering perspective. One too many HTML5 CSS3 show off links. I'm more interested in systems programming topics.

Whatever new thing pops up, it needs to be severely moderated and it needs to charge for membership. Those things will maintain the quality. HN used to downvote comments that were fark/reddit like clever but mostly meaningless comments to o

I laughed at the 0 minutes in the screenshot. He wrote the email and was immediately so proud of his reply that he just had to take a screen shot right away and send it to some bloggers. Great, thanks for contributing.

In the context of "what is your favorite language?", I think it makes a lot of sense to separate them. I can put a checkmark on C but I can not put one for C++.

C/C++ ? Really? Have you met many engineers who write a lot of C and who also love C++ or vice versa because I sure haven't. I decided not to complete the form after seeing 'C/C++'. Also, this is a flag if it's on a resume that the person m

Something built around the model that Khan Academy presents would be really interesting. Videos and learn at your own time. Home work help, helping parents and students find tutors, helping with test preparation. The long summer months are

Are there similar libraries for Android development? The hardest problem I have is with making the UI look better than standard/default UI on both iPhone and Android. Libraries that made that easier would be awesome.

Is there some mechanism where by a startup, or any company for that matter, might provide some guarantee with their API that they will not change it? Some kind of legal contract that isn't so onerous that it must involve expensive lawyers f

Should probably also mention the Function constructor in the eval section. Also object keys are always are type cast into strings so object[1] = "moo" becomes object["1"], this is rarely a problem but can be.

Your overview isn't, but we've built this into our library of tools that we use for history management, and maybe we will build something like our provider portal that would be.

Ugh, there is nothing wrong with JavaScript, please let's all just forget that CoffeeScript even exists. Thank you.

At Cloudkick we use the hash bang on our new overview. The hash bang URI represents the application state or view. It is a UI tool that helps provides the user with an additional, browser friendly, means to navigate the application. The inf

The public interest may not be in the public's interest. Inequality may not always be a bad thing. The focus shouldn't be on the gap between the haves and have nots, the focus should be on the dire situation of the poor without worrying abo

The wonderful thing about real conversations is that they are confined to that moment in time and to the people you have them with, whether they know you or not. If you're in a new bar surrounded by people you don't know having an interesti

This isn't true. What evidence do you have that bots downvote on reddit? The reddit guys came by our Cloudkick office late last year and flat denied there are any bots they know of that downvote when I asked them. If you don't have any real

Yes. Is that a problem? I don't know. I am not elite so I am excluded. I do not like being excluded, I do not like feeling that I am less than someone else so I do not like TED's elitism. I like the videos though.
