Are there any provisions to this policy to ensure that it's not abused? It would be trivially easy to create "sponsored" links on behalf of your competitor in order to get them penalized.

While not directly related to this post, I feel like it's a good time to point out how great Github is. Patrick hosts everything himself (for the SEO benefit I would assume) which is fine, but it means we can't post issues, watch the abing

I assumed it was to get the best deal on a bed. If it's in a hotel room, fine with me. Some probably do it just for the experience though.

If an article complaining about teacher salaries doesn't mention that most teachers get their summers off, I find it difficult to believe any other points it tries to make. I knew a few teachers that worked jobs in the summer to supplement

SpaceX in a few more years should be able to do human transportation to orbit. Virgin Galactic is for space tourism and doen't fulfill any of the roles the shuttles were used for. When the shuttle retires, there really isn't anything else

I'm not sure we need to dramatically reduce the population in order for the Earth to sustain us, we just can't let it continue to grow unchecked forever. According to the FAO, the earth could feed up to 12 billion people: http://en.wikiped

The same steps you would take in your own datacenters to ensure high availability would work in the cloud to ensure the same availability so I'm not sure what your point is. Measuring the availability of a few zones from one provider and b

CodeIgniter is bloated? It doesn't even include an ORM! There are some many things missing from it that other frameworks include that I can't even fathom what the author is talking about. Having switched from PHP to Ruby a year ago, I now

Here's my horror story, let me know if you can figure out where I raised a flag because I can't. I was using Website Payments Pro with Spreedly for over a year, when I applied for access to their Adaptive Payments APIs. After getting appr

Yes, that's the logical conclusion. But purchasing a domain with the thought that dns hosting is included in the purchase price only to find out the the service doesn't work as it should, is valid a reason to be upset IMHO.

If comments cost karma, some users will just submit more stories to try to earn more karma so they can keep commenting. That could decrease the overall quality of articles. One option would be to stop awarding karma for stories so that th

That's an interesting point. I'll have to keep an eye on it and see if there's a difference, although our precent of chargebacks is so low, I'm not sure we'll have enough data in 6 months.
