Bit.ly just got through raising $9M Series B funding, they're growing like crazy, and we've all heard about the amazing data (sic) that bit.ly is collecting. Is there more value to them selling this data to companies like NYT so they can al

While we've all come across these kinds of clients and it is probably in our best interest not to become involved in a working relationship with these clients, I disagree with his classification of them being 'evil' and 'douchebags'. I've f

A very important reason why I will continue to use namecheap... when a domain of mine expired, it cost me nothing to recover it via namecheap. I had a similar experience with a domain I had registered with godaddy expiring and it cost me $9

Why am I not surprised I'm being downvoted. Links like this, and the response they get (46 votes now) take away valuable space from fresh, timely and relevant articles yet HN can just as easily be gamed as Digg/Reddit to allow this to happe

If you don't mind sharing, how do you manage coordinating necessary schema changes with those continuous code deployments? (Yes, I am assuming an RDBM store and not a pure NoSQL store).

The only piece that I would add to this article is the concept of a daily morning scrum. For virtual teams this can be accomplished via Campfire. For those who don't know about a daily scrum, the idea is that you take 5-15 minutes (the shor

It's a shame there isn't a way to place blinking tags around this comment, arrows pointing at it. Until this efuse problem has been proven 'in the wild' it's nothing more than a possibility, and from the BGR article (I searched this thread

I haven't used any of these apps, but being that I live in a high-density area (Hoboken) I know very well how useless this kind of an app would be. Parking in Hoboken (and NYC) consists of the following - circling. Even if you had a realtim

The fragmentation of the Android market (dot releases / hardware specs), the lack of a consistent UI and a less organized marketplace are far more of a threat to Android than any future speed disadvantage is to Apple.

What about the experience gives you the impression it is 'mandatory'? It's a great example of opt-in. Granted, there is no 'don't ever show me this box again' checkbox, but if Facebook would have taken this approach with their Open Graph in
