I do want to know what my colleagues make. I want to know that the intern sitting across from me didn't get an unfair deal from HR when they started, like I did at a previous employer. Not everyone knows to check GlassDoor, and not e

The part about setting up special credit policies for these pharmacies so that FedEx wouldn't lose money when said pharmacies were shut down is pretty clear that they knew there was something wrong, but they turned a blind eye anyway.

I hope you're not referring to Microsoft Lync as "an awesome tool for IM", because I must disagree with you on that if you are. I had to use Lync at my last job and to be honest it was one of the contributing factors to my le

It would be nice if after configuring a pc, I could just copy the URL and send it to someone and have it display the pc I had configured. Still, cool site!

You have a good point. This paints it as more of a societal problem than a legal one, and I think you're correct in hindsight. I think about my gamer friends, and they've resigned themselves to vendor lockin because "What cho

And because Netflix contains wildly different content in different regions. My parents use Netflix and I recently got a request from them to set them up to access US Netflix. I didn't even know they were aware of the difference, but th

Vendor lockin should be outright illegal it benefits no one but the vendor and in fact harms everyone else. Why is vendor lock in NOT illegal? (Besides lobbying)

Raise your hand if you've contacted your elected representative regarding ISPs becoming Common Carriers. (Full disclosure, I'm not an American and thus have little to no say regrading American ISPs, but I advocate for this in my h

That's interesting tech, but I kind of feel like it's just postponing dealing with the problem. The problem is anticompetitive behaviour from ISPs, and while this would make video streaming better, it would just allow them to be m

I get where you're coming from, but I still don't agree with you. If that's the case then it would be "helpful" for Netflix to configure their players to send garbage data back to Netflix as fast as possible while p

I would postulate it's because people feel uncomfortable in situations where they are made to feel like lab rats, and that as a society we decided that these rules should be in place so that people who do not have the same views do not

How about an option to not show them at all then? I mean, I enjoy seeing a few of them a day show up on the front page, but when more than half the front page is nothing but Show HN that detracts from my experience, though it may not have

I'm genuinely scared by the number of people who do not understand what is wrong with Facebook doing this without consent. I guess that was just a classic case of Projection on my part, thinking that other people felt the same way I do

When did 'dysfunctional' and 'Open Source' become mutually exclusive? Not to say that all or even most OS projects are dysfunctional, I just don't think being OS precludes a project from also being dysfunctional.

I was going to reply pointing out that whether or not to name and shame someone is a subjective decision which you and I do not see eye to eye on, and which generally requires quite a few people to agree with you before it becomes a problem

Frankly I'm getting tired of these empty posts. Where is the source? Can we stop posting "news" like this unless it is actually significant, ie contains the thing that they claim is open? Its almost to the point where these

I too would like to know what the benefit of HTTPifying things is, aside from leveraging existing infrastructure. This was the reason Google provided for not supporting Git in Google Code initially. They do support git now though.

First, I agree with everything you said whole-heartedly. I don't believe that most cops out there actually have an intent to do evil, or to trample your rights though. They deal with criminal after criminal after criminal, I think thei

IIRC this came out of the Liberated Pixel Cup. A contest to create games and artwork which is available under a permissive license, allowing you to use the artwork in your own games. Very cool. http://lpc.opengameart.org/

This. I left the website feeling disappointed. Those are very pretty pictures they have, and a pretty spiffy website, but it feels like the marketing team went a little bit too nuts. The sheer lack of info about how it works honestly left

This is probably easier to do when the scammer isn't using a re-mailing service as this scammer is doing, though I imagine the authorities would have more luck compelling them to release the actual destination.

1) Why are ISPs not classified as Common Carriers? This needs to happen like now . 2) This makes me want to get a Netflix subscription just to support them, knowing I would never watch a single video from them. I'm signing up right no

I just want to point out that Teksavvy have in my experience proven to be FANTASTIC at helping with linux internet-related problems. I now refuse to subscribe to any ISP who does not offer Linux support, and will in fact check to make sure
