Well my point is that $2/hour is kind of low. Whenever I see people giving these estimates about how their blog is earning $5 a day without doing anything, they always seem to be low-balling the amount of time they spent on it. I've had mul

I don't think this will help. As you may have noticed, the Facebook privacy stories are rated very highly here. For those of us in startups, we are either too busy to comment, too afraid to alienate potential customers with our opinions, or

Your challenge does not stand. It gets weaker every day. There is a reason why Facebook is more appealing than other advertising venues. They offer more personal information. Facebook is smart enough to use a redirect cloaker for other cont

That is definitely FB caught red handed. Amusingly, an alleged employee of Facebook here challenged me to find a single example of Facebook selling private information, and this seems to be the clearest example so far. http://news.ycombina

Why the downvotes? This is like having Bill Gates critique a new release of Linux.

Papachito's point is still valid. If VP8 somehow overtakes h264, the value of the author's work on x264 would be diminished. He is the "lead developer" for x264.

This isn't DuckDuckGo's fault. People serious about privacy will be using a proxy with flash/javascript disabled and headers scrubbed.

Pal, please learn how to read carefully. Nowhere did I complain about needing to declare things before using it. Having variables be global by default is really poor design. And about silly equalities, it will inevitably happen once your pr

Here are some reasons why JS sucks. - Global variables by default, which means you will have "var" sprinkled everywhere. - Brain-dead binding. function Constructor() { this.foo = 'bar'; var that = this; window.setTim

There is no evidence that this particular version was an original. It is beyond their control if some hackers in Russia downloads the original, stuffs a trojan, and then passes it off as a copy.

Apparently you don't. The allure behind flash trading is to avoid rule 602 in regulation NMS: you are not required to fill the order at the NBBO. You can use dark pools to fill orders.

Flash trading: Joe wants to buy shares at price 10 or better. You are Goldman Sachs, you see Joe's order before anyone else. You see shares costing 9.80, so you buy it up quickly, and sell it to Joe for 10, making a profit of 0.20 per share

Intercepting flash orders is front running. I don't see how you could even be confused about this issue. That is why the SEC wants to ban it, and some exchanges have removed the feature. This corrupt business practice creates artificial inf

Reasonable and more knowledgeable people may disagree, and many do (eg, Warren Buffet). You do know that Buffet has a $5 billion investment with Goldman Sachs? Of course he would defend them.

I have to agree with Hexstream here (2 downvotes really?). A pithy overgeneralized saying proves nothing. Nearly every occupation benefits from a worker who can learn fast: lawyer, doctor, architect, CEO, salesmen, stock trader etc... This

if someone figures out a way (and that's rather easy) to induce mistakes and to profit from them, it will shortly become the prevalent form of trading That sounds contrary to what Goldman Sachs is saying why they shouldn't be sued. They a

You'd be surprised - often it's more cost effective to pay people than to try to get them for free. You get a different quality of work, support, and dedication. Ever had an unpaid intern? Please reread my sentence which you've just compl

Not true - all of the best businessmen I know quite like to pay people, and pay them well. They do that because they are __required to__ in order to retain talent and competitiveness. If they could get it for free, you can bet they would.
