Has NK said anything about this? I thought it was considered a bad idea to do so (retaliation of some sort).

My personal website is hosted by github and it's accessible from China. So they don't seem to block those -- weird.

@bad_user I definitely don't think he was implying that the law be selectively applied to different people. However, law is not black and white. Law interpretation is up to a judge (in countries with a Common Law system) and is based on pre

I'm not sure if any will be valid on their own just yet, but I really wouldn't surprise me if it was the "next step" in TLD/hostname branding.

What will this mean for Chrome users who use the address bar also as a search bar for their favorite search engine. If apple, for example, owns ' http://apple , what would happen when I type 'apple' in the search bar? What if I'm actually s

Hi there, I'm the author of the post. I couldn't agree more with your comment. I liked the letter so much I put it in a frame I had lying around and I mounted it on my wall. I think a lot of startups should heed your advice and provide this

I caught on to that too. I can't see this reaching a whole lot of hackers if it's a Windows only device. Maybe someone will port the software to Linux/OSX.

I think this is an awesome idea and is incredibly straightforward. Here's what we got, here's what you'll get, what have you done? I assume however that once they've selected some good candidates, based on github participation and code, the

What if I don't have a facebook account? I'm a software developer who would like to learn from other's mistakes.

You're right about the SSN, which makes things a lot more difficult. I came across indieGoGo and thought about it, but it just doesn't seem like I would get the same kind of exposure as Kickstarter would give me. I'm contemplating just post

This happened to me too. I posted an article on my blog and it got on HN's front page. It was about how people have to stop sending .doc files as attachments via email and to use something like .pdf instead. (my article is here: http://max

I hope he's alerted the websites involved before publicly releasing the vulnerabilities like this. This guy has serious potential, he's obviously very smart, I wouldn't want to see him fall into the "bad" side of internet security. Kudos fo

A private facebook profile is much different from a public blog. If you put something out there, you run the risk of someone stumbling over it.

Just finished the game. Marvelous TD experience, really kept me on my toes with the "new paths" being added as you progress. The game did get a little slow near the later levels, but that's no problem as it was still very playable. I comple

I switched to DDG due to them being majorly transparent and them caring about my privacy. Also wouldn't you be a sheep for using Google seeing as it is the most used search engine on the web?

Weird. I wrote this (almost) exact article last week. I brought up much of the same posts and it got a decent amount of votes too (got up to the front page). http://maxmackie.com/2012/03/19/Stop-distributing-.doc-files... I wonder if he r

They could offer a cash prize, which he could use to pay his telephone bills. I agree that it makes no sense to give him a phone he just "beat". I guess he could sell it on eBay or something...
