- What makes you think there's any real censorship? See the atheism debacle. They tweaked the "algorithm" until it stopped showing up in the top 10 (requirement for frontpage). Try submitting an anti-haskell article in proggit. It will neve

The problem with TechCrunch's Facebook comments is that you can't speak your mind if you have something negative to say about anything. If you make a positive comment, you might get some friends, but if you make a negative comment, you are

It's obvious these guys are smart and savvy. Couldn't they have come up with a new, brilliant idea instead of a Pokemon clone? His first and only other "company" was a Gaia online type website.

Reddit has always had way more downtime than digg for as long as I can remember. People left digg for reddit because of power users and the last straw of serving as an RSS feed for big name websites. If they have the brains to go back on th

The presumption here is that doing open source work does not open doors to employment - in fact, that's quite far from the truth. It is in my experience that in large open source projects that anyone is impressed with, the people with com

+1 C is ugly. - Why do I need to typedef a struct to make it look like any other type? - Why do function pointers look so bad? - Error handling in C? Those goto exception; if(0){exception:} sure look fantastic. - int* var1, var2; var2 is an

How many poorly made real-time chats with no-sql and javascript will we see on hacker news this year?

To be pedantic, censorship is not limited to the government. Being private does not let you avoid the label of censorship. And yes I know the metric is called "activity". It is just too suspicious that you let it rank well all these years a

We simply fixed the the algorithm that was accidentally ranking that reddit too high. At the time you censored the atheism subreddit, it had just about as many subscribers as the other top 10 subreddits at the time. You decided to arbitra

The subreddit problem is why I started reading HN instead of proggit. Anyone is allowed to squat on a subreddit and censor it to their whims. What is the result of this? You get moderators (who's name I will not mention for obvious reasons)

I see one that is disguised like a news article. Isn't this just like the infomercials in magazines like time? The other ad is just a plain landing page.

Clearly we don't know if he did. It obviously wasn't enough if there were any. And don't you think it is convenient that Zuckerberg "got rid of" the CTO position when Adam left (when he complains about his position not fitting his stature

by codexon 16y ago
If Zuck thought Adam was valuable, he would have given him an incentive to stay instead of replacing his position with a newcomer and putting him in a position where he would likely leave the company.

by codexon 16y ago
I don't think this will happen. Adam left because he was marginalized by Zuck and replaced by Bret Taylor as CTO. Since then, Facebook has come out with Facebook Questions.

If your hypothesis was correct, the response rate from asian females to asian males would be much lower than the asian male average.

If that happens, you call the cops like the victim of any other kind of assault. Like any other assault, you need proof that abuse actually happened and you just didn't slip and fall. And how is a 8 year old kid supposed to know? Also wha

I would like to bring up a possibility, which is possibly controversial: a lot of these kids let themselves be trampled on by their parents. What are they supposed to do when they are beaten and locked out of the house for 24 hours with n

I'll have to disagree. When I open up any substantial Lua project, I am flooded with local local local and local. It drives me nuts coming from a Python background. Not only is there that, but they decided to use "end" which is more clutter

It is that way because fanboys like you vote up everything that comes out of his blog. His predictions also come true for things coming out of Apple since he is part of their target demographic. Making a claim about Android is out of his ar

Based on your assumptions, he is arrogant for making such a ridiculous prediction in the first place. He is pretending to know the buying preferences of millions of people along with the performance of every designer in the future that coul

I wonder when a real time GC will be available for openjdk.

I don't understand why you guys are downvoting him. Other than the "Pics or it didn't happen" meme, he is raising the issue that the article is hugely anecdotal even though it seems like common sense. That is a valid point.

I think Craiglist and Twitter had first mover advantage. Facebook definitely started with the network effect. It was far technically inferior to Myspace and Friendster when I first signed up. I only joined because of the exclusive feel whic

If you have 10 people logging in per second, you put a 1 second delay on future requests which is certainly noticeable. Maybe the correct thing to do is to make the key derivation executed on the client side, but then this would erode the e

The article cited a study which showed a good quantity of people getting job offers but decided not to take them. I think the thing with this years graduates is that they heard the CS class of 09' got job offers of $50k and they feel satisf

I don't understand the down-votes. Am I offending someone's vision of Tim Ferris's 4 hour work week?

Nice catch. Some of them appear to be affiliate links. I also think his book has a few businesses like Yourmaninindia where he tells the reader to mention his name. He probably gets commission for that too.

is the constant reminder that the business/income-building is a means to an end, and there's a wide world of choices out there for what the "end" is I think the lesson of the story is that there are so many people and competitors now that
