There are some aspects that might be worth voting this article up. Like the one you noted, or the mere fact that even a genius like Linus gets frustrated about debugging. Still, I can't help suspecting that many voters wouldn't care if some

Lesson Learned: Use Privacy Controls On Your Social Network Profile I'm pretty sure that U2-singer Bono would say something like "don't trust Privacy Controls On Your Social Network Profile" Don't put anything potentially compromising onl

Despite the risk of being voted down by the fanboys, I have to ask: how could this receive 12 votes within 40 minutes? What's so newsworthy about Linus being frustrated about debugging?

It's not like anybody is forced to buy anything from him. You are free to look (and pay) for advice somewhere else. Without any statistics to prove it, I would reckon that Ramsey looses more money buy alienating potential customers than he

I don't know Dave Ramsey, but he apparently puts his money where his mouth is. And this should be honored. Whether you agree with his opinion on credit cards is another story.

Correct me if I'm wrong, it's a ErlangWeb tutorial. It's like posting a link to a rails tutorial and saying it's about ruby.

It's even funnier that they still get votes on HN, if they have a rockstar status among hackers.

I can't find a statement in the article that he didn't get funding for a show to attack global warming. The sad fact is that since I said I didn’t believe human beings caused global warming I’ve not been allowed to make a TV programme. Th

Unless the whole page uses HTTPS, securing just the login might still leave you vulnerable to session hijacking and just gives you a false sense of security. Don't use your gmail (ebay, paypal,...) password for test-driving a site you saw o

I can see your point, but wouldn't be any ad-driven website/game be considered theft of service? A ton of flash ads might have a bigger impact on your system performance (and on your wallet, if your ISP charges by traffic)

The sports analogy is misleading. If you want to make it to the top in sports, you need the talent, which in this case, means the right genes. Usain Bolt will never beat Haile Gebrselassie in a marathon, no matter how much training (or dopi

It comes down to even more APIs while giving the user control over his data. So, Web 3.0 == Web 2.0 + Privacy? Sounds more like Web 2.1 to me.

Having a quick glance at the website, I found it hard to grasp what wyUpdate is really about. "wyUpdate Express is the free limited version of wyUpdate" "wyUpdate Professional includes all the features of wyUpdate Express, plus the license

To cut a long story short: ignorance. Most people just don't have a security mindset. They are happy when it works the way it is supposed to.

Indeed, there are a ton of web-apps that probably will never take off. Still, there is the big advantage that you can build a prototype almost for free. Other fields (solar, biotech, whatever) might require way more money to start. For real

So if you want to make a lasting impression, get into real estate or liquors. If you fail, you have at least a roof over your head or a drink to keep you warm.

The downside of this approach is that you have to mess up only once and accidentally create a connection between 'leethaxor' and 'your.name'. And because you felt safe when posting as leethaxor, the result will be much worse than if you jus

I agree, the word "hack" is overused. But if you go by the jargon file definition, you can apply it to almost anything. "hack [very common] 1. n. Originally, a quick job that produces what is needed, but not well. 2. n. An incredibly good,
