I'm sorry, but in between your Straw Man argument and your indirect Ad Hominem attack, I fail to see you address the point that these kids caused harm to a business. Nowhere did I say that PHPFog bears no responsibility for the security of

What I find most disturbing about this whole situation is the way in which these teenagers are handling themselves, especially after the fact. The continued denial of responsibility and half-hearted mea culpa, coupled with the monetary dama

That's my point, there is no way to save a story without upvoting it, but the two are mutually exclusive, or atleast should be. People will use the vote button as a way to bookmark stories that they want to read later but are forced to vote

While I am one of those that would hand over my saved stories, I wonder about the validity of any conclusions you would draw from the group analysis due to the dual nature of the save button. The same button that is used to up vote an artic

I understand the sentiment trying to be conveyed here, and I do agree that by speaking up a developer can help prevent a bad feature from being released while learning more about their product offering. However in the type of company descr

Not sure about the resume, but you should probably put a shirt on in your profile pic if you want to be taken seriously. http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/161257_6809274_...

While I share your 'hype' skepticism, that gain could easily be gained by adding a missing index. By itself the above statement really doesn't say much, either about the amazing improvement or the quality of the current schema in place.

Having been there a few times there are a few suggestions I'd like to put out there. The points here should take a very minimal amount of time (< 1 week combined) but they are meant to be easy ways of getting more mileage out of what yo

I don't think that's nitpicking at all. He did mention that he was going to break down associated costs in follow up posts, but it's very prudent to note the difference between revenue and earnings.

Good / bad are relative terms. Neither situation would be recommended for a site with a code base that pulls from multiple resources / pushes to multiple servers on every release, but for a single server environment this could suffice. As f

This. Fear is a multi-faceted and very powerful, yet often times extremely irrational, emotion that can destroy you even before you get started. A few people here have brought up Seth Godin's Lizard Brain concept, but what's missing from it

Who are you trying to kid here? It's obvious to those here that it's an automated response system...a.k.a. a bot. Many of the users here could / have written such a bot at one time with far less nefarious reasoning behind doing so. You can'

You're right, that was totally unprofessional of me to lay such an ad hominem attack and run away...so let me expand upon my thought some more. Your site either uses fake accounts to trick legitimate users into paying to view messages from

You, sir, sound like a snake oil salesman of the worst kind. Either that or you have no clue how your site operates. edit but apparently 'Jen' does. Screencast here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOtBmqqKVcc (Thanks to my Appsumo

Just a point of clarification, but it is a per-server lock, not a global lock across the whole database.

I completely understand why you flipped the site, and you should be proud of the fact that you were able to take a side project that started as an itch and have it become viral so quickly, no matter how short-lived that was. My used car sal

This. In no way am I trying to take away from what Mark was able to accomplish in a short period of time. IMO there just needs to be some perspective kept w/r/t the overall theme on this site.

There's something about how the progression from the original post by Mark on here a few weeks ago ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2051288 ) to the post that the site was for private auction ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21130

I find the whole post out of place here. It's one thing to have a discussion on here about the success and merits of an MVP site that certain people seem to find entertaining enough to pass it along, but why do we need a quickly thrown toge
