The main question which is coming to my mind right now is how on earth did this guy get contributor access to the repository. And here I used to think that being maintainer of a large open source project must take a lot of talent and hard w

I think an interesting project may be to look at popular github repositories and searching for such 'stat builders',i.e, people who make commits of no utility just to boost their github stats.

It seems there are no limits to this madness.e,g https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/commit/970edb9b683175a6b1... In this commit the guy deletes two spaces from a file, and adds copyright for his name at the t

I think looking at @pixiuPL's commits ( https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/commits?author=pixiuPL ) and his tall, non sensical claims makes it clear who lacks the basic human communication skills. Just have a l

It does not look like the guy has done a single commit with any meaning. His commits are basically the following: 1. Adding his own name in package.json 2. Adding and deleting whitespace. 3. Deleting the entire project and commiting. 4. Add

Now, he shows up at number 4 in the Github contributor list ( https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/graphs/contributors ) with 179,603 lines added, not a single one of which seems to be a meaningful contribution

For those who haven't looked at some of the commits by @pixiuPL, the list is here : https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/commits?author=pixiuPL . To summarize: It does not look like the guy has done a single com

Exactly. I mean look at his commits. Look at this file: https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/blob/master/package.json (He created a commit only to add his how name as a contributor to package.json, which

Given that he was given the same status as Mao by including Xi Jinping thought in the Chinese Constitution, this was sure coming.

The major reason for me is their Linux support. I don't think any mainstream provider offers linux support. I also feel their sync is better than both One drive and GDrive. They probably sync the deltas most affectively. Given that thi

I think people were asking themselves the same question at the end of the 19th century, when everyone thought mankind had mastered all of Physics. Suddenly so much new stuff(Relativity, Quantum Mechanics) was discovered and flipped our worl

I am saying the exact opposite. Their ToS were so broad prior to the recent update, that if you trusted their ToS, using their service was difficult to justify. Now they have switched to more reasonable ToS and I am giving fastmail a try. N

Off course, but their previous overly broad termination criteria couldn't be justified by me. Now that they have updated their ToS to more reasonable terms, I am trying their service.

by enitihas 9y ago
Thanks for the link. Now their termination criteria seem reasonable enough and I have opened an account. The interface seems really nice.

by enitihas 9y ago
I understand your point, but prior to the recent update their termination criteria were really broad, basically on whatsoever reason your account could be terminated. Now they have modified their ToS and the termination criteria now seem re

I do want to use Fastmail, but their ToS are no better than Gmail i.e, that they can terminate your account any time for any reason whatsoever. Source : https://www.fastmail.com/about/tos.html This is the biggest reaso

Food for thought: What if Google+(or any othe google social initiative) had succeeded and this duopoly were to become a monopoly. How worse the world would be?

But all these attacks still remain possible with whatever electronic voting system you choose. So I don't see how electronic voting offers us any help here.

by enitihas 9y ago
One very important point in favor of paper based voting systems which often comes up on HN is that attacks against paper based voting are inherently not scalable, while electronic voting is prone to large scale attacks by a corrupt governme
